Three possible endings of Biden’s “presidency:
1. Biden gets COVID and is killed on the ventilator.
2. Kamala becomes president and Bill Clinton becomes vice.
3. Election is proven stolen and Trump is put back in.
[REUTERS] The FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials.
Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... , according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.
"Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases," said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. "Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages."
Stone, a veteran Republican operative and self-described "dirty trickster", and Jones, founder of a conspiracy-driven radio show and webcast, are both allies of Trump and had been involved in pro-Trump events in Washington on Jan. 5, the day before the riot.
FBI Sherlocks did find that cells of protesters, including followers of the far-right Oath Keepers and Proud Boys groups, had aimed to break into the Capitol. But they found no evidence that the groups had serious plans about what to do if they made it inside, the sources said.
[KSTP] A judge has promised a quick ruling on whether people with permits to carry firearms can bring their guns into the Minnesota State Fair, which opens in one week.
The Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus asked Judge Laura Nelson to issue a temporary injunction prohibiting the fair and the Ramsey County Sherriff’s Office from enforcing the fair’s ban on bringing guns onto the fairgrounds.
The judge said she'll rule before the fair begins next Thursday.
The gun owners argue that the ban violates state law and the Second Amendment. But the fair argues it has the authority to protect the safety of visitors. Well, I can see their point, seeing how many state fairs are shot up by permit-holding citizens.

A lot of the problems happen in the parking lots, as groups who aren't in 4H decide to settle scores. At least that's the experience around here and at the State Fair.

Can't we just tell Corn Pop that the fair starts next month?
[POLITICO] Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told politicians Friday that Americans trying to leave Afghanistan have been beaten by Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... fighters, according to several people who participated in a briefing call with Austin and other brass hats.
Austin’s remarks to House members appeared to directly contradict President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us... ’s assessment from minutes earlier, in which Biden said the U.S. was not aware of Americans having trouble getting through Taliban checkpoints and to the airport in Kabul — the only evacuation point in the country that is not controlled by the Taliban.
During the briefing call, Austin called the reports of Taliban beatings "unacceptable," but did not elaborate on efforts to ensure Americans’ safe passage to Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...A product, and probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance... International Airport in Afghanistan’s capital city. He specifically declined to "rule in or out" the possibility of U.S. troops moving beyond the airport to help Americans and others get to safety.
"We’re also aware that some people, including Americans, have been harassed and even beaten by the Taliban," Austin said on the call, according to multiple sources. "This is unacceptable and [we] made it clear to the designated Taliban leader."
Austin added that "with the exception of those cases, we continue to see Americans and appropriately credentialed Afghans continue to move through."
When asked about Austin’s remarks, Pentagon press secretary John Kirby reiterated that the U.S. has told the Taliban that it wants "free passage through these checkpoints for documented Americans," adding: "By and large, that’s happening."
The House briefing — which included remarks from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. Mark Milley — was the first of several in the coming days as politicians demand answers about the botched U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Taliban’s stunningly rapid ascension to power.
A source tells me, “Situation [in Afghanistan] is rapidly deteriorating… We’ve had Americans get beaten throughout the night.” One of them, an American woman, was beaten “twice” even though she was carrying a U.S. passport.
[JUSTTHENEWS] The Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... ignored or jettisoned carefully designed plans to withdraw from Afghanistan, with the result being chaos and bedlam, a former national security official to President Donald Trump said.
"I don't even know that anyone could have made this awful scenario up," former National Security Council Senior Director Kash Patel told Just the News. "It's literally worse than you could possibly conjure."

[BREITBART] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan.... ’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan has put a spotlight back on the controversial waiver Congress used to confirm the nomination of now-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
Austin has come under fire for his admission this week that the United States military does not have the capability to help the thousands of Americans stranded outside the Kabul, Afghanistan, airport.
Austin said, "We don’t have the capability to go out and collect up large numbers of people."
Austin’s involvement in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan follows as Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), the chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), urged Republicans in January to vote against Austin’s waiver to allow him to serve as the defense secretary.
The RSC in a January memo said Austin "is not the right person for the job of Secretary of Defense," noting he "has a track record of failures of the [Central Command] head in Syria and Iraq and in the war on ISIS."
Banks opposed Austin as early as last December:
Austin received confirmation to become secretary of defense after receiving a waiver from Congress. Typically, active duty personnel have to wait seven years after retiring from service to become the defense secretary.
Congress has granted only two exemptions to this rule, which include when former President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... nominated Gen. Jim Mattis and when former President Harry Truman nominated Gen. George Marshall in 1950.
The RSC Steering Committee said in a statement in January that Congress could learn from the lessons based on nominating the two generals:
General Lloyd Austin has not been out of uniform for the requisite seven years and thus requires a waiver from the U.S. House of Representatives to serve as secretary of defense. Based on the lessons learned after the House made the unprecedented move of granting a waiver four years ago, the Republican Study Committee will oppose granting General Austin a waiver.
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe Biden vowed Friday get all Americans and Afghan allies out of Afghanistan
'Let me be clear, any American who wants to come home, we will get you home,' Biden pledged
When later asked about Afghans who aided the U.S. war effort he added: 'Yes, we're making the same commitment' about evacuating them
'This is one of the largest difficult airlifts in history,' he said amid the chaos at Kabul airport
'And the only country in the world capable of projecting this much power on the far side of the world with this degree of precision is the United States of America'
He insisted that the chaotic takeover of Afghanistan by the Taliban did not taint the U.S.'s global reputation
'I have seen no question of our credibility of our allies from around the world,' he said
Biden then took questions from the press for the first time in nine days from a pre-approved list of reporters

"I'm from the government. I'm here to help you."
[The Hill] Capitol Police have formally exonerated an officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 following an internal investigation, NBC News reported.
NBC News obtained an internal memo from Capitol Police officially clearing the officer, who has not been named,
...that’d be Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd, who has had other moments of carelessness during his career...
for fatally shooting Babbitt, capping off the investigation.
The commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility said in a memo following the officer’s exoneration, "no further action will be taken in this matter," according to NBC News.
Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. An 'Internal probe' holds no legal standing, or am I wrong ?

Internal Probe Rx: 2 Jabs (1 to Family - 1 US People) with follow on Booster Jabs every month until the story is dead.

I'm just trying to imagine that would've happened if a group of protesters tried to occupy Knesset.
Or British Parliament. Or Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal.
A leaked FBI initial Jan. 6th Report. (take it with a grain of salt).
Basically says that the FBI initial findings are 95+/- % of the Jan. 6th Congressional Trespassers were just individuals walking around and following few others.
Less than 5% were actually working in any level called a organized manner. Def: Organized manner being 1 or more 2 way radio/cell conversations.
Of that 5%, the most openly destructive and violent are known to have participated in similar Violent Roles during various Anti-Fa riots, involving Gov. & Private property damages and arsons.
In short a know group of Anti-ANYTHING Subversive Radicals that get off on causing Riots, Mayhem and Arsons.

If Ashli was part of the 95% then there should at least be a trial. The Minnesota cop and the 3 other officers standing around were arrested and charged before an autopsy was performed for a non-shooting death of a suspect.
[NBCNEWS] The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt outside a door of the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot has been formally exonerated after an internal investigation, according to a department memo obtained by NBC News.
The officer, whose name has not been released,
...but who nonetheless has been named numerous times in comments (with corroborating links) as Capitol Police Lt.Michael Byrd, who has had other moments of carelessness during his career...
opened fire on Babbitt as she and a mob of other Trump supporters tried to forcefully enter the Capitol.
Video of the shooting showed Babbitt in front of a crowd of rioters trying to get through a door leading to where members of Congress were being evacuated on the House side of the building.
The Justice Department announced in April that no charges were being brought against the officer. The exoneration by the Capitol Police wraps up the last remaining investigation into the incident.
A memo from the commander of the Capitol Police’s Office of Personal Responsibility says "no further action will be taken in this matter" after the officer was exonerated for use of force.
The Capitol Police did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A lawyer for Babbitt's family declined to comment.
Babbitt, an Air Force veteran, was a decorated security forces controller who served multiple Middle East tours from 2004 to 2016, according to Air Force records.
In recent years, she posted numerous messages on social media indicating she was an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... and a follower and promoter of many well-known radical conservative activists as well as leaders of the QAnon conspiracy theory movement. Well, in that case I'm sure the execution was completely justified.
WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) - A U.S. Supreme Court justice on Friday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would require Democratic President Joe Biden to reinstate a contentious immigration policy implemented by his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump.
The brief order by conservative Justice Samuel Alito puts the litigation on hold while the high court considers how to handle the Biden administration's request seeking to impose a longer-term block on the judge's ruling that would require the government to revive the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program.
The Biden administration turned to the Supreme Court after the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals late on Thursday denied a government request to delay the effective date of the lower court judge's ruling a week earlier.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk "requires the government to abruptly reinstate a broad and controversial immigration enforcement program that has been formally suspended for seven months and largely dormant for nearly nine months before that," Acting Solicitor General Brian Fletcher wrote in papers to the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, including three justices appointed by Trump.
The Justice Department wants the court to act immediately, with the judge's injunction due to go into effect on Saturday.

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... Justice Amy Coney Barrett refused Friday to block the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... as demanded by an environmental group.
The groundbreaking for former President Barack Obama They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... ’s namesake library and presidential archives center began earlier this week, but Protect Our Parks, an environmental advocacy group, asked the high court to stop the construction.
The group lost multiple requests in lower courts to halt the construction of the Obama center because it is located in a public park, Jackson Park on Chicago’s South Side.

...My understanding is that the OPC has the same rep in Chicago that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had in Cleveland - the local elites want it, but it's more trouble than it's worth and will never return enough of its investment to be worth the cost.
I just don't know that many people who will be going to freaking Chicago, for God's sake, just to make a pilgrimage to the Lightbringer. Myself, though, I'd like to think that Madam Justice Comey just gave the city of Chicago what it wanted.
Good and hard.

For the wasteland that is CHicago it is fitting that Ozymandius
By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
[STARTRIBUNE] Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is extending a welcome mat for refugees from Afghanistan.In a letter to President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., who gives the geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan.... on Thursday, Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan offered to to work with the federal government to continue Minnesota's history of welcoming refugees by assisting with the resettlement of people fleeing Afghanistan.
"Minnesota has a strong tradition of welcoming those who seek refuge and supporting them to rebuild their lives and become part of our communities," their letter said. "Minnesota is eager to uphold that tradition by welcoming families and children and providing the stable foundation they need to rebuild their lives, achieve their highest potential, and contribute to our state."
Tens of thousands of Afghans have been trying to flee their home country since the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... takeover, with desperate crowds thronging Kabul's airport.
Minnesota is already home to some of the largest Hmong, Somali and Liberian communities in the U.S., as well as a small Afghan community. The state has also drawn significant numbers of refugees in recent decades from Myanmar, Æthiopia, Bhutan, Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bosnia and the former Soviet Union.
"New Minnesotans strengthen our communities and contribute to the social fabric of our state," Walz and Flanagan wrote. "They are our neighbors."

[APNEWS] Amid the continuing crisis in Afghanistan, President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... postponed plans to head to his Delaware home on Friday and instead will spend the night in Washington.The White House announced the latest schedule change hours before Biden spoke about the chaotic evacuation of American citizens and allies from Afghanistan. The president has been under mounting pressure over his decisions in Afghanistan, which ultimately led to last weekend’s collapse of the U.S.-backed government and complete takeover of the country by Talibs.
The U.S.-led evacuation effort has been complicated by a range of obstacles, from armed Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... manning checkpoints to airport pandemonium to cumbersome red tape.
Though the pace of evacuations has picked up, tens of thousands of people are still waiting to leave. Biden has set an Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
The White House offered no explanation for the schedule change, which came near the end of a topsy-turvy two weeks that Biden had planned to spend in Delaware.
He was now expected to head to Wilmington on Saturday and stay through the weekend.
