Patriot...
Some of you may remember the guy who propped his feet up on Nancy Pelosi's desk on the January 6th insurrection. He had his day in court yesterday and was found guilty on all eight counts in his indictment, including felony charges of civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding.
The jury deliberated for approximately two hours before unanimously convicting Richard “Bigo” Barnett of the charges.
Sentencing for Barnett is scheduled on May 3rd.
Outside the courthouse after the verdict, Barnett vowed to appeal his conviction, calling it an "injustice.” He noted that the judge had rejected his request to move his trial from Washington to Arkansas.
“This is not a jury of my peers,” he told reporters.
Yes Richard... it wasn't your peers because they were all arrested too!

Only in New Zealand
Weatherman Sam Wallace was on Television New Zealand when he examined the image.
He said: “It’s quite an amazing thing, to be fair, pushing over the top of the country.
“But when you take a step back, is there anything else you see in this picture?”

Disabled Veteran creates Go Fund Me account to help build the Southern border wall !!
There was no bigger campaign promise from Donald Trump than securing our southern border and protecting the American people with a wall. It’s also been what the left has pushed back the hardest on. Now, almost two years into his presidency, Trump still hasn’t gotten the wall he’s been working really hard to make happen.
With just a few days until the threat of a government shutdown becomes a reality right in the middle of the holidays, We the People have put our money where our mouths are. President Trump is getting a massive Christmas gift a week early, from proud Americans who are fed up with the fight from the left, the invasion of illegal aliens who threaten our families, democracy, and success of our country.
It’s been long asked why there isn’t a crowdsourcing campaign to pay for the wall and if there was one, the American people would solve the problem fast of where the funds are going to come from. A GoFundMe has now begun, thanks to one actual hero who took it upon himself to get the wall paid for.
It’s only taken 24 hours to show liberals that the majority of citizens in this country want a wall and are proving that by paying for it.
Senior Airman Brian Kolfage Jr lost three limbs in Iraq, fighting for our safety but wasn’t done there. Kolfage started the fund for the wall on Monday, December 17, and the American people have responded in unprecedented amounts.

Patriots: Mark Ponder and others...
Mark was given 63 months of prison for his actions in the January 6th insurrection on the Capitol. He's tied with Robert Scott Palmer who pleaded guilty to taking part in the siege.
What did they both have in common? Believing the election was stolen.

Today the NFL admits that they were wrong and should have supported Kaepernick's protest

NFL condemns racism, admits ‘we were wrong’ not to listen to NFL player protests
Points;
National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell released a recorded video to admit the league was “wrong” for not listening to players who protested against social injustice and police brutality.
Goodell said he wants players to continue to speak out through protesting, supported the Black Lives Matter movement, and offered his participation.
“I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much needed change in this country Without black players, there would be no National Football League,” Goodell said.
National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell admitted the league was “wrong” for failing to listen to players who protested social injustice, he said on Friday in a video.
In his second statement released since the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by police in Minnesota, Goodell used the roughly 80-second recorded message not only to “condemn the systemic oppression of black people” but also to admit fault for not listening to its players “earlier.”
Goodell said he wants players to continue to speak out through protesting, supported the Black Lives Matter movement, and offered his participation.
“I personally protest with you and want to be part of the much needed change in this country. Without black players, there would be no National Football League,” Goodell said.
Floyd died shortly after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was recorded with his knee on Floyd’s neck following his plea of being unable to breathe. Chauvin and three other officers have been fired and charged in connection with Floyd’s death.
The video footage caused an outbreak of protests throughout the country, renewing conversation about police brutality and social injustice.
The NFL has come under fire since Floyd’s death, as the image of Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck is being compared to former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racism and oppression. The moved sparked years of controversy, lawsuits, an eventual settlement, and a blown attempt to reconcile after Kaepernick was blackballed.
Basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joined CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Tuesday to discuss the recent protests throughout the country following Floyd’s death, the killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville and the Feb. 23 shooting of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.
Abdul-Jabbar said the NFL needs to “prove to all of us that they mean what they say” following Goodell’s first statement to address the “systemic issues” facing minorities.
“We have to listen to people who are suffering,” Abdul-Jabbar said. He also called for law enforcement and companies to “understand the problem” facing blacks in America.
“Certain people among the ranks of police are racist or are afraid of people who don’t look like them,” Abdul-Jabbar said. “I think all of us would serve this issue if we can make friends with someone who doesn’t look like us. I think that is a key issue here, that too much of people’s humanity and their right to be a part of the American dream, that’s not recognized all the time, and that’s very unfortunate.”

Pocahontas a real Indian - 1/1,024th. that is
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has declared herself vindicated for a decades-long claim to be Cherokee, thanks to a DNA test she ordered in response to taunts from President Donald Trump, in another signal that the former professor is gearing up for a 2020 presidential run.
According to Warren’s own DNA test, she has, at best, 1/64th Native American ancestry, but it could also be as low as 1/1,024. Percentage-wise, she can claim somewhere between 0.1 percent to 1.56 percent Native lineage.
