Ahhh... it's time for another 'what if' scenario where the top story is about the former president Donald Trump, who is facing the possibility of being indicted in the New York probe into the 'alleged' hush money payment to an adult film star who goes by the name of Stormy Daniels.

What if he gets indicted and has to turn himself in to authorities. He will be processed with ID and fingerprints (those are usually done electronically now) and would have to post bail.

What if he's strapped for cash (after paying all his lawyers who demanded their fees up-front' and resorts to payment via his campaign fund account.

Would that mean he could be liable for misuse of election funds? Wow, what a thought and that would lead into another probe... I'm sure.

I could only speculate the amount of bail... $50,000, maybe $100,000.
It's not like he's going to skip the country or anything crazy like that.
Oh, what if he did?

Thanks, DST... I waited months for your arrival and now that you are here I'll cherish each day!

Emmy award-winning actor Robert Blake has passed on at the age of 89. I remember him from the TV series Baretta and he was back in the news when tried and acquitted of the murder of his wife.
Always the moody tough guy I caught him on the Tonight Show interview where it appeared his off screen personality matched his on screen personality.

Cause of death was heart disease.

We’ve been seeing quite a lot of panic in D.C. with all kinds of freakouts in reaction to Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 video coverage.

Adam Kinzinger has been melting down all day, even going on CNN, then getting schooled by former U.S. Ambassador to Germany Ric Grenell. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer lost his mind on the Senate floor and was flipping out so much, he’s demanding that Fox head Rupert Murdoch stop Tucker Carlson from going on with more Jan. 6 coverage.

Nothing says “saving democracy” by trying to stop the speech of your political opponents.

Schumer out and out lied on the Senate floor — claiming that Carlson said Jan. 6 was not violent. Carlson said no such thing. He said that while there was violence, there were other protesters inside the Capitol who were not violent. Schumer is the one lying because he doesn’t want that basic truth to be told.

This isn’t the first time that Schumer has gone after Fox and tried to suppress speech. I wrote just last week about how Chuck Schumer had threatened Fox, saying he not only had a “right to tell Rupert Murdoch and Fox what to do but an obligation.” He said “democracy was at greater risk than it’s ever been,” that Fox must admit they told “lies” or he will take other “steps.”

I don’t disagree with him that “democracy” and our freedoms are at risk — from Schumer threatening them himself.

They are truly panicking that the narrative is becoming unhinged when it comes to Jan. 6, that people are seeing that there are other takes, apart from the cherry-picked narrative of the Jan. 6 Committee and the Democrats which was all about using the riot to attack former President Donald Trump and affect the midterms. Among the people the show reached was Twitter head Elon Musk, he saw the points being made.

But while Schumer and Kinzinger were certainly deplorable with their remarks on the day, it may be Attorney General Merrick Garland who had the worst lie. He was asked by a reporter during a press briefing what he thought about Carlson’s coverage. Listen, as even now, Garland lies. He talks about officers assaulted on “that day” and then says, “Five officers died.”



No officers died that day. The only person “killed” that day was Ashli Babbitt who was shot by a Capitol Police officer. Now multiple police officers committed suicide in the subsequent months. That might raise other questions as to why that might be. But it’s a lie, and grossly misleading to say that they were killed or that they died that day.

But this is just an example of why Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 coverage was so important. Dems and media have been lying about this specific point since the beginning, as Carlson noted, to make the riot worse, to add “deadly” to it. That’s why this lie is so disgusting, yet even now, it’s continuing, proving Tucker’s point. The Democrats don’t care about honesty or the facts, just that narrative.

Weatherman Matt Devitt, submitted a short video of an alligator in Florida pushing his way through a wrought iron fence. Those bars are usually 1/2" (12mm) thick and welded at several points making it difficult to pass. You would normally need a long wrecking bar to pry the bars apart where the alligator (probably 10 feet long) slowly forced his way through.

An amazing display of strength. 2 weeks ago I blogged about a woman who was taken down by an alligator, who pulled her under water until she perished.

US Capitol Police appeared to give Jacob Chansley, the so-called “QAnon Shaman,” the run of the place during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, trailing him in a bizarre escort as he walked the halls near the Senate chamber that day — and even opening the door to allow him inside, according to surveillance footage made public Monday night.

The never-before-seen video aired on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” part of more than 40,000 hours of closed circuit security footage that Carlson and his producers were given access to by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

In contrast to the running battles between cops and pro-Trump rioters outside the Capitol building, clips aired Monday show Chansley — clad in his eye-catching horned fur headdress with red, white and blue face paint and holding an American flag and a bullhorn — leisurely strolling through the building, hardly being challenged or acknowledged by police.

At times, Chansley walked alone in the hallways on the Senate side of the Capitol, occasionally pausing to look at his phone.

In September 2021, Chansley pleaded guilty to one count of obstructing an official proceeding and was sentenced to 41 months in prison that November.

According to a timeline of events — compiled by the Justice Department and upon which Chansley signed off as part of his guilty plea — the Navy veteran from Arizona was one of the first 30 rioters to enter the Capitol at around 2:14 p.m. on Jan. 6 through doors that had been busted open from the inside.

Despite disobeying orders to leave the building and, in the DOJ’s words, “using his bullhorn to rile up the crowd and demand that lawmakers be brought out,” Chansley was allowed to climb the stairs to the Senate viewing gallery, from where, according to the government, he “scream obscenities … while other rioters flooded the Chamber below.”

After leaving the gallery, Chansley encountered Capitol Police Officer Keith Robishaw, whom Chansley had confronted with his bullhorn earlier. When Robishaw again asked Chansley to leave the building, prosecutors said, the rioter “insisted that others were already on the Senate floor and he was going to join them.”

For several minutes, the video shows, Robishaw and another officer follow Chansley as he tried to enter the Senate chamber. At one point, Robishaw tried a locked door with the Senate seal etched on its frosted glass.

At another point, Chansley and the officers pass a group of seven other cops, who seem to pay them no mind.

Chansley and the two officers eventually find an unlocked door and one of the policemen holds it open after Chansley lets himself onto the Senate floor. The DOJ timeline confirmed that Robishaw followed Chansley into the chamber as the “Shaman” took the seat on the dais recently occupied by then-Vice President Mike Pence.
