The truth about the National Guard and Jan 6

Posse Comitatus

Contrary to Liz Cheney’s statements, President Trump offered 20,000 National Guard troops to help keep order on Jan 6, several days prior to the rally. By law, he could not deploy troops within the United States without a request for assistance by local authorities.

Written offers were sent to the Mayor of DC and the Capitol Police Chief, both of whom refused the offer.

Statements made by Cheney, and here, that Trump should have deployed the National Guard on his own were incorrect, as he did not have the authority to do so.

So, that pretty much puts the lie to claims Trump wanted an insurrection.

NY GOP Gubernatorial candidate attacked, perp released on recognizance.

Zeldin attacked during speech.

Note that the attacker clearly went for Zeldin’s throat. That’s attempted murder.

OK, so the guy’s a nutcase, but the NY GOVERNMENT, with all the facts, put him back on the street within hours.

The man who tried to kill Kavanaugh is also out on the street.

Apparently attempts to assassinate judges and congressmen are OK so long as they are Republicans.

Unarmed in a battle of wits

Twitter sues Musk to close deal

So, Twitter provides false information about the number of fake accounts included in its client list. Musk objects and seeks transparency on the issue, or a reduced price, before completing the deal. Twitter provides more false information. Musk voids deal. Twitter sues to force him to close the deal, but now will have to provide Musk the information he wanted in court, where a settlement will result in a lower price.

What we have here is a bunch of millennials who think they are smart engaging in a battle of wits with someone who actually is smart.
