Trump fuming. Trump spent Jan. 6 anniversary watching cable news and fuming excerpt: "As President Joe Biden spoke on January 6, the first anniversary of the Capitol riots, Donald Trump was fuming. From his Mar-a-Lago estate, he watched as Biden lambasted him, blaming him directly for the unrest, branding him as nothing less than a threat to American democracy. Trump had known what was coming, people close to the president told Newsweek. He expected Biden and the media to savage him on the anniversary. Not because he deserved it–close friends and political allies of the former president all say he still angrily rejects any culpability for the January 6 riot—but because, as he told one friend, "it's all they've got." "[Trump said] they can't talk about anything else because the guy [Biden] is such a disaster," a Palm Beach friend of the former president told Newsweek. Trump had originally planned to hold a press conference on the anniversary, a chance to reiterate his disdain for the congressional committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021, and again to voice his claim that the last presidential election was somehow "rigged," though neither he nor anyone else has produced any evidence supporting the claim of widespread voting fraud."
Trump's sacred number. Trump boasted that the crowd for his speech on Jan. 6 was so big it was a 'sacred number,' and only a 'tiny percent' stormed the Capitol excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump complained that the media doesn't report how "massive" the crowd was for his speech on January 6 before his supporters stormed the Capitol. "The crowd itself was the biggest crowd I've ever – and I've spoken before the biggest crowds – the biggest crowd I've ever spoken by far, by numerous times I think," Trump said in an interview with right-wing network One America News that aired on Wednesday. "Nobody ever shows the pictures of that." "The real number I won't say because it'll be a headline 'oh he exaggerated the number.' The real number was over that sacred number– you know what that number was right?" Trump said."
Cyber Ninjas wants to start new firm with same workers. Cyber Ninjas boss wants to start new firm with same employees | 12news.com excerpt: "The Donald Trump supporter hired to run a review of the 2020 election in Arizona told the state Senate president he’s shutting down his company but working to start a new one with some of the same employees. Cyber Ninjas founder Doug Logan told Republican Senate Karen Fann in text messages this week that he was unable to sell the firm because of “too much negativity around the name.” But he plans to sell off its assets to pay debts and eventually file for bankruptcy. The attempt to start a new firm comes as a judge is imposing a $50,000 daily fine against Cyber Ninjas for refusing to release public records."
What a damn fool. Everyone is gonna know who they were before, and more so, what a shitty job they did. Any business that’s ever changed their name to change their rep……still has the shitty business reputation.

Jailed Capitol-riot defendant blasts Trump for canceling his January 6 press conference, saying he abandoned his supporters excerpt: "A jailed Capitol-riot defendant said he was disappointed in Donald Trump for canceling his January 6 press conference and suggested that the former president had abandoned his supporters. "There should be a hundred thousand people in DC tomorrow at the very minimum," Edward Jacob Lang, 26, told "The Stew Peters Show" in a Wednesday phone interview from jail. He continued, "I am so disappointed with Trump and with the American people at large that just do not get behind the January 6 political prisoners." "I feel like I've been completely abandoned by the political hierarchy here. Where are our leaders standing up, our congressmen, our senators, our president?" he said. "President Trump, where are you?""
Turner replaced Nunes who quit to join Trump's new media company. House Intel’s next top Republican prepares a sharp turn from the Trump years excerpt: "Carlson suggested in November that the U.S. shouldn’t be taking Ukraine’s side in its territorial disputes with Russia, Turner tangled live on the air with the conservative icon. “Apparently you need a little education on Ukraine,” Turner told Carlson. “Ukraine is a democracy. Russia is an authoritarian regime that is seeking to impose its will upon a validly elected democracy in Ukraine. And we're on the side of democracy.” The exchange underscored that, on the substance, Turner’s ascension represents at least a partial departure from the committee's tumultuous Trump years. “I think it’ll be clear as to who on the committee is committed to making a transition to national security, and those who are more committed to the partisan culture that Schiff has promoted,” Turner told POLITICO this week, turning his focus to overseas threats from Iran to North Korea. “There are real adversaries, and we need to focus on those.”"

I lived in Florida during the Mariel Boat scam. It was hectic, dangerous and cost lives when Castro said any citizen could leave Cuba if they wanted. Well, he emptied his prisons of BAD, BAD people and they ended up committing heinous crimes in Florida and the east coast. Florida was / is a crazy state with rednecks galore.
A paragraph that accurately describes Trump and those in his orbit after the failure of his Tulsa comeback rally in June 2020 with an ominous tone about his expected loss in the 2020 election. Brad Parscale was the fall guy for the failed rally and was fired by Trump (to use one of Trump's words, unceremoniously). He was later arrested at his home for a domestic dispute involving his wife. He said he was hurt that Trump gave him no advance or formal notice of the firing. Herman Cain, who took selfies of himself at the rally within a group of people and who said he was feeling great, tested positive for the virus about a week after the rally and died of COVID about a month later. Trump couldn't produce any meaningful words for Cain's death, simply saying that he died of the 'China virus'. Article from June 2020. Trump Fires Campaign Manager Who Was Unable to Convince Voters That Trump’s America Isn’t in Flames excerpt: "But with the president’s job performance and poll numbers continuing to plummet, the grift of rinsing cash for Trump family members didn’t seem to cut it anymore. The Trump campaign, as much as there is one—and it doesn’t really appear that there is by normal standards—seems to have drawn a blank on how to convince Americans that Donald Trump isn’t exactly what he is: a fraud, a cataclysmic president, and now a direct danger to their lives and livelihoods. The tipping point appeared to have been the sparsely attended Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally, for which Parscale was blamed. The event was dangerous and ill-advised, but that wasn’t Trump’s issue with it; the real problem was that the campaign looked gassed. In Tulsa, the American people got a midpandemic glimpse at a campaign, much like the Trump presidency, that after years of furious spinning had finally been spun dry."
Bill Stepien, who took over Parscale's job, tested positive for the virus about the same time Trump was in the hospital with COVID. Many of Trump's people tested positive during that time frame as the 2020 election approached, further tarnishing his reelection hopes. Stepien was subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee in November 2021. Here’s Why the Bill Stepien Subpoena Is the Most Interesting of the New Batch excerpt: "That Stepien finds himself here is both predictable and unpredictable. He did the dance that most elite political operatives have to do to get to the highest ranks within their field. But that also meant joining Trump’s orbit and all the risk that comes with it. He didn’t try to shed his Trumpian ties after the election, and the subpoenas are the latest indicator that he will always be tied with the other Trumpian Republicans under the committee’s microscope. That was the price Stepien, like many operatives, was willing to pay to take a prime leadership spot in the Republican Party during Trump’s reign."
None of those folks are sorry or remorseful for what they did, nor are they decent people. Decent people don’t do the things these people did.
'Murderers!' Video shows deranged anti-vaxxer violently attacking COVID workers in California excerpt: "Newly released video shows an anti-vaxxer violently attacking COVID-19 clinic workers in California. The incident occurred Dec. 30 in Tustin, outside a clinic operated in a parking lot by Families Together of Orange County. The suspect, identified as 43-year-old Thomas Apollo, reportedly called the clinic workers "murderers." Apollo grew angrier after a security guard asked him to wear a mask, accusing workers of being complicit in a COVID-19 "hoax" and saying he was "not a sheep." "In the recording, as a worker approaches the suspect, Apollo throws his first blow, hitting an employee," ABC Channel 7 reported Saturday. "Others, including patients, step in to help as one worker pinned under Apollo takes several punches. That employee, who didn't want to go on camera, was still recovering Friday and is back to work after receiving emergency medical care." Parsia Jahanbani, one of the clinic staff members, told the Los Angeles Times it took five people, including two patients, to pry Apollo off the victim. "It took seven police officers roughly 15 minutes to restrain Apollo, who was 'irate and shouting profanities,' Jahanbani said," according to the Times."
