Cop Nearly Killed By Trump Mob Rips GOP For ‘Peddling Bullshit’ On U.S. Capitol Riot
D.C. Police Officer Michael Fanone says Republican riot-denial “is an assault on every officer that fought to defend the Capitol.”
By Ed Mazza
A D.C. police officer who was captured by the Jan. 6 mob at the U.S. Capitol and nearly beaten to death is calling out Republican lawmakers who are openly denying the violence that happened that day.
Officer Michael Fanone told CNN’s Don Lemon:
“I’m not interested in getting into political squabbles. I’m not a politician. I’m not an elected official. I don’t expect anybody to give two shits about my opinions. But I will say this: Those are lies. And peddling that bullshit is an assault on every officer that fought to defend the Capitol. It’s disgraceful.”

The mob, egged on by then-President Donald Trump, was attempting to stop the certification of the 2020 election and keep Trump, who lost, in power. Many Republicans have since tried to defend Trump, and they’ve canceled anyone in the party who dared to criticize him. State and local GOP bodies have censured Republicans for speaking out, and this week, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) was purged from party leadership in the House for blaming Trump for the insurrection and calling out his lies about the election.
Since the attack, several GOP lawmakers have gone into full denial mode, with Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) claiming “there was no insurrection” and insisting the footage from that day looked like “a normal tourist visit.”
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), who was blamed by his own family for helping to incite the riot, called the insurrectionists “peaceful patriots” who were “harassed.”
Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) even claimed that the real victims were Trump supporters.
And Trump has said the rioters were “hugging and kissing” the police.
Video from Fanone’s bodycam broadcast on CNN footage he watched with Lemon showed otherwise. He was assaulted by the mob, beaten with a flagpole and zapped with a stun gun:

Another shooting, this time in Indianapolis. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE WITH LAX REGULATIONS
INDIANAPOLIS — At least eight people were shot and killed at a FedEx facility near Indianapolis International Airport late Thursday, authorities said.
This follows two other recent shootings, the lax regulations are allowing mentally unstable people access to weapons that really only the military should have access to.

Earth
When was the circumference of the earth last measured.
OK, had to watch this infomerchial.
Rarely watch them and if so, for a couple minutes. This one hit on something I have heard about. Went through 3/4th before shutting it off. Now...almost hooked..but.. Good old internet..type in whatever and look for scams and reviews. Bingo!
There is was.
The info was about people selling your property and you find out when a foreclosure notice comes or someone knocks on your door and asks why are you in their house. I never worry cause there is the property tax bill every Christmas.
I have bought land by a quit claim deed. I did it all myself..printed out form, sent to owner, filled out tax site and filed. So I know how simple and easy it is. On land.
The facts...if a house, there has to be a title search, assessment, title insurance, notary, SS number even on land, and more. The way the scam works, a guy does a fake ID, gets title by fake notary stamp, goes to bank and takes out loan. That is the main scam.
Truth is it is rare. The most are done against second homes and vacation cabins cause they dont want to alert someone when the buyer knocks on their door.
If you read up on it, the law is on the owners side. Call the cops, call your lawyer and the "new" owner, if one shows up is out of luck to evict you. The lender of any funds will be liable..a bank does credit check on person after a loan and more. And they are out of luck if a scam, not you.
The title lock does nada. They only keep track of activity against your deed. One thing I saw was your Register of Deeds office has a similar deal you can sign up for..at least some do. If there is activity, the title lock company just lets you know. $15 a month for a phone call. The rest is baloney.
Houses are so regulated now it is crazy. So to sell or buy a house requires a ton of realtor input or government rules. And any lender does also.
So another bull company like the time share buyers and reverse mortgage ones. What is sad is Newt Genrich is the lead spokesman for Title Lock. Didn't he make enough money in politics?
When it sound good, goggle it. Like that cool bacon cooker that one guy made 3 batches and the fins melted.

Amazing ! Human remains recently found inside Dinosaur.
A discovery like that, could spark a movement to change our whole concept of evolution.
Indeed, some religious or other conspiracy theory subscribers may jump on it.
However, the recently dead human was found dead in a paper dinosaur statue in Spain.

At this point, I suppose we can not totally rule out, an act of god, that the dinosaur briefly came alive and was hungry, or that Hillary Clinton was involved.

Indicted Gaetz Associate Is Said to Be Cooperating With Justice Dept.

A former local official in Florida indicted in the Justice Department investigation that is also focused on Representative Matt Gaetz has been providing investigators with information since last year about an array of topics, including Mr. Gaetz’s activities, according to two people briefed on the matter.
Joel Greenberg, a onetime county tax collector, disclosed to investigators that he and Mr. Gaetz had encounters with women who were given cash or gifts in exchange for sex, the people said. The Justice Department is investigating the involvement of the men with multiple women who were recruited online for sex and received cash payments and whether the men had sex with a 17-year-old in violation of sex trafficking statutes, people familiar with the inquiry have said.
Mr. Greenberg, who is said to have met the women through websites that connect people who go on dates in exchange for gifts, fine dining, travel and allowances and introduced them to Mr. Gaetz, could provide investigators with firsthand accounts of their activities.
Mr. Greenberg began speaking with investigators once he realized that the government had overwhelming evidence against him and that his only path to leniency lay in cooperation, the people said. He has met several times with investigators to try to establish his trustworthiness, though the range of criminal charges against him — including fraud — could undermine his credibility as a witness.
Mr. Greenberg faces dozens of other counts including sex trafficking of a minor, stalking a political rival and corruption. He was first indicted in June. The Justice Department inquiry drew national attention in recent weeks when investigators’ focus on Mr. Gaetz, a high-profile supporter of President Donald J. Trump who knew Mr. Greenberg through Republican political circles in Florida, came to light.
Speculation about Mr. Greenberg’s cooperation began mounting last week, after his lawyer and a federal prosecutor both said in court that he was likely to plead guilty in the coming weeks. “I’m sure Matt Gaetz is not feeling very comfortable today,” Fritz Scheller, Mr. Greenberg’s lawyer, told reporters afterward.
The United States attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida is leading the investigation, which is examining not only whether Mr. Greenberg, Mr. Gaetz and others broke sex trafficking laws but also whether Mr. Gaetz paid for women over the age of 18 to travel with him to places like the Bahamas.
A Justice Department spokesman and a lawyer for Mr. Greenberg declined to comment.
A spokesman for Mr. Gaetz said he had done nothing wrong. “Congressman Gaetz has never paid for sex,” said the spokesman, Harlan Hill, who suggested that Mr. Greenberg was “trying to ensnare innocent people in his troubles.”
Prosecutors often seek out cooperators in complex investigations where an insider’s account can help make their cases.
