Democrats are opening their hearing on the Jan. 6th riot w/ a montage that includes a news clip that falsely claimed “5 people lost their lives that day”
Durbin: “Let's stop pretending that the threat of Antifa is equivalent to the white supremacist threat. Vandalizing a federal courthouse in Portland is a crime … but it is not equivalent to a violent attempt to overturn the results of elections"
FBI’s Wray: “We have not seen evidence of” non-Trump supporters partaking in the riot (despite having arrested a self-described Antifa member)
Durbin says Antifa pales in comparison to the Jan. 6th rioters: "This false equivalency is an insult to the brave police officers who were injured or lost their lives on January 6th"
FBI’s Wray on the death of Officer Sicknick: "We’re not at a point where we could disclose or confirm the cause of death.”

Hilarious Rush Limbaugh moment from his 2009 CPAC address -->
What the left doesn’t acknowledge is how damn funny Rush was. I used to drive between NYC and DC and his show helped time fly by. During one episode he was telling a story about his wife putting on makeup, and he told her ...
"I can't believe you're farding in front of me."
"I'm not farting!"
"You're obviously farding right now!”
Rush then said that in many states, it’s actually “illegal for women to fard while driving” and what an injustice this is.
China knows they can commit cultural genocide against the Uyghurs because they already got away w/ it in Tibet (banning Buddhism/the Dalai Lama, Tibetan prayer flags, marriages of Tibetans that aren’t to Han Chinese). The world knew but looked the other way.
I visited Tibet in 2004 as China was in the midst of bulldozing the country. Historical sites were allowed to remain only for use as a Chinese tourist attraction. Propaganda everywhere claimed China “liberated” Tibet in 1951 — from freedom, apparently.
Tibet is almost impossible to access, but definitely worth the effort should you find yourself in central China. The only place I’ve visited where I kept thinking, “There’s nowhere like this anywhere else."
A reader has pointed out to me that @Twitter hides almost all of the replies to my tweets. I’d seen this and presumed it affected everyone, but apparently not.
@Twitter Somehow Twitter’s algo is able separate out left-wing comments, which are not hidden. Take this tweet I posted about fake conservative Benji Backer. The replies you can see agree w/ Benji. @Twitter hides the replies agreeing w/ me
Also weird: the other day I was trying to read the replies to one of my tweets, and Twitter wouldn’t let me see them. (It said there were 4 but as you can see, I wasn’t able to actually view them)
@JoeNBC The media have alternatively claimed rioters beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher and an American flag — neither of which we now know is true.
Meanwhile, as the likes of @AOC stirred up anti-police activism, an ex-cop was murdered during a BLM protest in STL ...
