Here we have a perfect example for people to watch the proliferation of fake news in real time.

Not only does this individual have no source or ostensible access to Trump, but Kyle Rittenhouse is charged in state court, not federal, where Trump does not have pardon power. Image
At most theoretically, Trump could try to offer some sort of preemptive federal pardon to Rittenhouse to prevent Biden’s DOJ from charging him with a federal crime, but that’s on the margins of legality and clearly this random person on Twitter would not be privy to that info. Image
For the record, the individual who tweeted “BREAKING: Donald Trump plans on granting a full pardon to the Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse.” now says it was a “joke.”

Image
“Ford Fischer of News2Share pointed to Grande Capo’s tweet as an example of how fake news spreads... as Fischer pointed out, irrespective of intentions, false claims have a history of being accepted as fact.”

THREAD: I have discovered something online that *could* be relevant to the Nashville explosion, but I want to be extremely clear that I don't know what - if anything - to infer from it.

I'm hoping appropriate experts and authorities can take a look.
A video on Youtube has gone viral showing the scene of the explosion.

The account that posted it is called "S McG" and has no bio or info, and has never posted until today since joining in 2014.

The account that posted the clip to Twitter only joined this month and has also never posted before today.

The video turns black and white following the explosion in both uploads.

The next tweet is the curious part.

I have obtained exclusive new video of the December 22nd arrest of Eric Braden, who participated in a maskless protest at the North Star Mall in San Antonio Texas against pandemic restrictions.

”I’m a disabled veteran of the United States Army," Braden could be heard shouting.
Additional footage shows that at least 50 participants marched into the mall to participate.

While they all were in violation of the mask requirement, only Eric Braden - who is also a frequent participant in militia activity across southern states - was arrested.

The rest left.
"Braden was arrested and charged with criminal trespass-private property. SAPD says he was taken to University Hospital by EMS 'with complaints of a pre-existing back injury.'"

Very important section I just found reading the 5000+ page government spending bill:

On page 2487 is a repeal of Section 711 of USC Title 18, which provided six months in jail for misuse of the "Smokey Bear" character or name.
Technically, you could go to jail for six months right now for - for example - advertising pipe tobacco with Smokey the Bear on it smoking from a pipe.

When this spending bill comes into place, letting Smokey smoke will be effectively legalized.

This is a real product on Amazon, but not available in the United States.

When the new government spending bill passes, you won't risk going to jail for 6 months for printing it anymore.

Toward the beginning of the Omnibus spending bill at page 415 and 416 is a quarter billion dollars for "enhanced border security" for the nations of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman.

Not less than $150,000,000 of it shall be for Jordan though.
If you skip about about 1000 pages from the Jordanian border security funding section of the US government budget, you'll find that "not less than" $1.65 billon is for Jordan's government overall, but they're required to use $425,000,000 of the American dollars for military.
In total, page 1310 of the new US budget explains that a bit over $6 billion in taxpayer money will be for financing foreign militaries, but by law, at least $3.3 billion of that will have to be for Israel.

Trump supporters continued to rally Saturday in Phoenix, AZ, despite the electoral college formally voting for Joe Biden.

The "Stop the Steal" supporters continue alleging fraud and hope to challenge the results ahead of the January 6th congressional vote to certify the results.
"Imagine this, that you get to go back home, once we conquer the hill. Donald Trump is returned to being the president," said AZ Congressman @DrPaulGosar. "Amazing things will happen in four more years."

"Four more years!" the crowd in Phoenix chanted. "Stop the steal!"
Rep. @DrPaulGosar says he has friends in CIA and forensic auditing of banking industry, who tell him "it is easy to see contamination," of the election.

"They don't wanna open up and talk about it."

@RepGosar's uncut speech, filmed by Sean Campbell:

THREAD: On Saturday, militia activists marched to the GA State Capitol where they joined forces with Trump supporters holding a "Stop the Steal" rally.

The militia groups included Chris Hill's GA-based "III% Security Force" and Eric Braden's TX-based "Southern Patriot Council."
The militia groups rallying outside the GA Capitol were confronted by Atlanta Antifa, who led with a shield wall and were armed with semi-auto rifles and at least one shotgun behind it.

Police kept the sides separate.

"Go home to fucking your cousin!" one yelled.
Antifa raised their fists and chanted "fists up, fight back!"

Three women on the right-wing side got on their knees and prayed. "Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil."
