    Odd that the book would come out after the movie, Dumb and Dumber.

    BEMIDJI, Minn. — A Moorhead man is facing federal charges that allege he stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 as Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    Jordan Kenneth Stotts, 31, appeared Friday in U.S. District Court in Bemidji. He is charged in federal court in Washington, D.C., with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, as well as violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

    Stotts told the FBI he works in greenhouses during the summer and decided to drive alone in his van to Washington to attend a Jan. 6 rally to support Trump, according to the complaint. He acknowledged climbing onto the balcony of the Capitol and entering the building, the complaint alleged.

    Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says only 0.1 percent of Trump administration’s covid farm relief went to Black farmers
    By Laura Reiley, Reporter covering the business of food
    March 25, 2021 at 7:00 a.m. EDT

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/03/25/vilsack-interview-usda-rescue-plan/

    excerpt:

    "A tiny fraction of the Trump administration’s coronavirus relief for American farmers — just 0.1 percent of the overall package — went to Black farmers, according to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who was confirmed in February with strong bipartisan support for a second stint in the role.

    In an interview with The Washington Post, Vilsack for the first time noted the extent to which the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated existing disparities across the American economy.

    The distribution of coronavirus relief increased those gaps, he said.

    Black farmers received only $20.8 million of nearly $26 billion in two rounds of payments under the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program announced by the Trump administration last April, he said."

    A former classmate recognized him from his postings on the web and notified the FBI.

    So, I think a lot of this comes down to education, information and trust. Most black farmers are running small operations. I'm betting 90% of that money got gobbled up by big Farm-a....

    March 24, 2021 (Wednesday)
    Last night, federal prosecutors filed a motion revealing that a leader of the paramilitary group the Oath Keepers claimed to be coordinating with the Proud Boys and another far-right group before the January 6 insurrection.
    After former President Donald Trump tweeted that his supporters should travel to Washington, D.C., on January 6 for a rally that “will be wild!,” Kelly Meggs, a member of the Oath Keepers, wrote on Facebook: “He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! Sir Yes Sir!!! Gentlemen we are heading to DC pack your s***!!”
    In a series of messages, Meggs went on to make plans with another individual for an attack on the process of counting the electoral votes. On December 25, Meggs told his correspondent that “Trumps staying in, he’s Gonna use the emergency broadcast system on cell phones to broadcast to the American people. Then he will claim the insurrection act…. Then wait for the 6th when we are all in DC to insurrection.”
    The Big Lie, pushed hard by Trump and his supporters, was that Trump had won the 2020 election and it had been stolen by the Democrats. Although this was entirely discredited in more than 60 lawsuits, the Big Lie inspired Trump supporters to rally to defend their president and, they thought, their country.
    The former president not only inspired them to fight for him; he urged them to send money to defend his election in the courts. A story today by Allan Smith of NBC News shows that as soon as Trump began to ask for funds to bankroll election challenges, supporters who later charged the Capitol began to send him their money. Smith’s investigation found that those who have been charged in the Capitol riot increased their political donations to Trump by about 75% after the election.
    In the 19 days after the election, Trump and the Republican National Committee took in more than $207 million, prompted mostly by their claims of election fraud. John Horgan, who runs the Violent Extremism Research Group at Georgia State University, told Smith that “Trump successfully convinced many of his followers that unless they acted, and acted fast, their very way of life was about to come to an end…. He presented a catastrophic scenario whereby if the election was — for him — lost, his followers would suffer as a result. He made action not just imperative, but urgent, convincing his followers that they needed to do everything they could now, rather than later, to prevent the ‘enemy’ from claiming victory.”
    And yet, on Monday, Trump’s former lawyer, Sidney Powell, moved to dismiss the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against her. Powell helped to craft the Big Lie, and won the president’s attention with her determination to combat the results of the election and restore Trump to the presidency. In January, Dominion sued Powell for $1.3 billion after her allegations that the company was part of an international Communist plot to steal the 2020 presidential election.
    On Monday, Powell argued that “no reasonable person would conclude” that her statements about a scheme to rig the election “were truly statements of fact.” Eric Wilson, a Republican political technologist, explained away the Big Lie to NBC News’s Smith: “[T]here are a lot of dumb people in the world…. And a lot of them stormed the Capitol on January 6th.”-Heather Cox Richardson

    Alex Jones gave Roger Stone money and a plane ticket to attend the Jan 6th event. Stone was working with Oath Keepers and Proud Boys "on security" during the event. Alex Jones also gave a speech during the event, right before Trump and Giuliani.

    Trump's speakers at his rally included Stone, Jones, and Giuliani who, along with Trump, incited the rioters. They are the crud that Trump scraped from the bottom of the barrel to make one of the darkest days in U.S. history.

    Recently, Alex Jones has been keeping a low profile.

    Alex Jones never keeps a low profile unless he's guilty of something.

    Trump appointed Andrew Saul as the head of Social Security. It turns out he has been refusing to turn over the bank deposit information to the IRS so they could give poor people their stimulus money. Today the Democrats in Congress forced his had. Richard Neal was at the spear head of this effort. Now 30,000,000 poor Americans will get their $1400 as President Biden wanted.

    Trump Jr. promoted the proposed changes in Wyoming election law as a way of trying to unseat Cheney.


    Wyoming election changes pushed by Donald Trump Jr. fail

    excerpt:

    "The state Senate defeated the proposal with a 15-14 vote Wednesday after lawmakers raised concerns over the cost of adding more elections and the burden that doing so would put on voters and local officials."

    Jan. 6 Rally Funded by Top Trump Donor, Helped by Alex Jones, Organizers Say
    Publix Super Markets heiress donated about $300,000 to the Ellipse event; far-right show host pledged seed money, organizers say

    WSJ News Exclusive | Jan. 6 Rally Funded by Top Trump Donor, Helped by Alex Jones, Organizers Say

    excerpt:

    "The rally in Washington’s Ellipse that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was arranged and funded by a small group including a top Trump campaign fundraiser and donor facilitated by far-right show host Alex Jones.

    Mr. Jones personally pledged more than $50,000 in seed money for a planned Jan. 6 event in exchange for a guaranteed “top speaking slot of his choice,” according to a funding document outlining a deal between his company and an early organizer for the event.

    Mr. Jones also helped arrange for Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a prominent donor to the Trump campaign and heiress to the Publix Super Markets Inc. chain, to commit about $300,000 through a top fundraising official for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, according to organizers. Her money paid for the lion’s share of the roughly $500,000 rally at the Ellipse where Mr. Trump spoke."

    The effort to object to the electoral votes of the swing states that Trump lost was futile.

    The objections to the electoral votes of AZ and PA before the siege of the Capitol began garnered about a half-dozen votes in the Senate when 51 were needed.

    A majority of votes in the House was also needed along with the Senate, but it wasn't obtained.

    The effort became moot when there was an insufficient amount of electoral votes in the remaining objected swing states to be removed from Biden's win to make it go below 270.



    2021 United States Electoral College vote count
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    2021 United States Electoral College vote count - Wikipedia

    excerpt:

    "The joint session adjourned twice to debate objections against the votes won by Biden in Arizona and Pennsylvania; both objections were defeated in the House and Senate, with only six Republican senators supporting the former and seven supporting the latter. Republican representatives also raised objections against votes for Biden from Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, but these objections failed because they were not co-signed by a senator."
