CONSPIRACY THEORIST ALEX JONES IS GOING TO BE A BROKE DIRT BAG RETHUGLICAN
Jury decides Alex Jones must pay $965 million in Sandy Hook defamation trial. Those defenses by conservatives of Alex Jones are pretty amazing. They’ll hasten to say they aren’t pro-Alex Jones. But they sure are anti-anti-Alex Jones. And the justification is always the same: The fight against the supposedly totalitarian forces of “the Left” overrides everything else – if “the Libs” are your enemy, the Right will stand with you.
Alex Jones successfully sued into bankruptcy for libel and disinformation. Now do Fox “News.”

DONALD TRUMP CAUSED ALL OF IT
JAN 6 COMMITTEE MEETS NOW LIVE
AG James also filed to keep Trump from transferring his assets out of state. Good move on her part.
Washington Post: Witnesses and surveillance video confirms Trump himself directed the movement of boxes at Mar-a-Lago that were stolen from the White House.

@NewYorkStateAG Since we filed our lawsuit, Donald Trump and the Trump Organization have continued to engage in fraudulent business practices. Today, we are acting to immediately stop this ongoing fraud.
Trump doesn’t get to play by different rules. We’re asking a court to: – Prevent the Trump Organization from moving assets to evade liability. – Appoint an independent monitor to oversee any new financial disclosures made to banks and insurers to ensure they are not fraudulent.
The New York Attorney General is seeking a preliminary injunction that would prevent any material assets from being transferred out of the existing Trump Organization entities.
Why? Because Trump has a new DE company d/b/a Trump Organization II. And that company was registered with NY state on 9/21/2022, the same day NYAG filed its massive fraud lawsuit against the Trumps and the Trump Org. It suggests strongly that Trump has created a new Trump Org. to prevent Tish James from imploding his business in New York.
For over 4 decades the Trump cime family has been paying fines for their fraudulent and criminal behavior. The fines you’re going to levy won’t put a dent in their criminal behavior, only a prison sentence will stop their crime spree.
Voting no on the constitutional convention question on the ballot.
The Times is reporting that the person who is cooperating with the FBI WAS seen on the subpoenaed surveillance video footage. His name is Walt Nauta. He’s a former military aide that left the White House to work for Donald.

Hate Group Libertarian Party Loses State Parties, Donors After Hard-right Turn Libertarians are the “alt right” party. “Memberships were absolutely lapsing … not just our overall aggregate membership had a decline, but physical bodies showing up for physical meetings was in rapid decline. There were no volunteers to do any work. Nobody wanted to.”
Agorism attempts to overthrow the state through economics. The ideology calls for the black-market sale of some illegal goods and gray-market sale of legal goods and services outside of government oversight, thereby draining it of tax revenue and giving individuals control of the marketplace. The ideology was popular among some members of the antigovernment, accelerationist boogaloo boys.

University of Pennsylvania Trustees owned Slaves
adopting 1740 as its founding date, Penn could leapfrog Princeton and claim to be the “first university” (and fourth college) in the United States. In 1919, the university cemented Whitefield’s place in its mythology, unveiling a bronze statue of him in front of the freshman dorms.
The Penn & Slavery Project Over time, they discovered a web of university entanglements with slave traders and slave owners that fundamentally disproved the story Penn told about itself. At least 75 of the early trustees, including the first provost of the university, owned people. Gabriel Manigault, a slave trader who owned 300 people and who had participated in transactions that were so large they likely included entire ships of enslaved Africans, Doolittle found. Having seen the success of fund-raising among slaveholders, Penn trustees planned another trip in 1772 — this time to Jamaica.

What you saw today in the extraordinary footage of Nancy Pelosi was Chris Miller lying to her. He was installed to deny the National Guard. It’s the only way they pulled it off. They knew it. I was there. They told me that they knew they’d be OK.

Donald Trump has a permanent and inoperable hole in his hard palate from ischemic necrosis secondary to decades of snorting Cocaine, which, along with snorting Adderall, Trump continues to abuse. This hole is covered by a prosthesis, which chronically leaks and frequently slips.
Trumps medical records were intermingled with the docs found. Trump has a huge necrotic hole in his hard palate from years of snorting cocaine and adderall and wears a prosthetic device to cover the hole. Explains a lot.
Is now a good time to remember that John Eastman texted and emailed with Ginni Thomas — and the J6 Committee has all the records?

Memo to the Fed: Your rate hikes aren’t slowing inflation because inflation is coming from big corporations using the cover of inflation to increase their prices more than their costs.
Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi said if he were to have received all the intelligence that the Secret Service & law enforcement agencies received before January 6th about the multiple calls for violence— his FBI would have shut down the event before it even began.
