Tucker Carlson is Lying to You
Aidan McLaughlin
Perhaps in an effort to distract from the controversy swirling around his public embrace of a white supremacist conspiracy theory, Fox News host Tucker Carlson waded into fresh territory for cable news scandal on Tuesday night: vaccine skepticism.
In an opening monologue, Carlson touted the development of the vaccine as a historic achievement that Americans should be proud of. But he had questions, in light of U.S. agencies putting a pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after it was linked to rare and severe blood clots in six women in the U.S..
One of his questions (emphasis added):
At some point, no one’s asking this, but everyone should be, what is this about? If vaccines work, why are vaccinated people still banned from living normal lives? Honestly, what’s the answer to that? It doesn’t make any sense at all. If the vaccine is effective, there is no reason for people who have received the vaccine to wear masks or avoid physical contact. So maybe it doesn’t work and they’re simply not telling you that. Well, you’d hate to think that, especially if you’ve gotten two shots, but what’s the other potential explanation? We can’t think of one.
Carlson’s reasoning is as brainless as that of his colleague Tomi Lahren — who announced her jihad against the vaccines the night before. He doesn’t like restrictions, and doesn’t like that overly-cautious public health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci are not advising the immediate end of restrictions for the vaccinated.
That vaccines don’t work is the only explanation Carlson can think of for this caution.
His conclusion that the vaccine “doesn’t work” is wrong. I’m not saying that because I am part of the mysterious cabal of powerful people seeking to dupe Tucker Carlson viewers into jabbing themselves with mind-control juice. We have real world studies that demonstrate the vaccines work. Israel demonstrates that the vaccines work.
To answer Carlson’s specific question, we also know why public health experts are being cautious. It’s because they’re cautious public health experts. It’s also because not enough of the U.S. population has been vaccinated.
Israel has vaccinated more than half its population, and restrictions are vanishing as cases and deaths continue to plummet.
There is nothing wrong with scrutinizing vaccines, and their effects. That is of urgent importance. The pausing of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, a controversial decision that will almost certainly encourage vaccine hesitancy, is a sign that these new vaccines are being closely watched.
Carlson is not just scrutinizing vaccines. He is weaving an insane conspiracy theory that they (the nameless enemy) are lying to you (the petrified viewer) about their effectiveness.
We know this is a troll. We know Tucker Carlson doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying. He knows vaccines work, because that information is publicly available. Tucker Carlson has a computer, we presume, and knows how to use it. He has a gaggle of researchers that work on his prime time show. He also isn’t an idiot.
What’s the other potential explanation? That he is willfully misleading his audience. That’s a nice way of saying he’s lying. It’s a shame he’s lying about vaccines, which will save lives during a pandemic.

No charges for Capitol Police officer who shot Jan. 6 rioter, Justice Department says
Tom Winter and Dareh Gregorian
The Justice Department has determined it won’t file charges against the U.S. Capitol Police officer who fatally shot 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt during the storming of the Capitol on January 6th.
In a press release announcing the decision, the Justice Department said the investigation did not find evidence that the officer had violated any federal laws, and there was nothing to contradict that he believed it was necessary to shoot at Babbitt "in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber."
“Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy” and “based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution,” the release said.
The probe found "Babbitt was among a mob of people that entered the Capitol building and gained access to a hallway outside 'Speaker’s Lobby,' which leads to the Chamber of the U.S. House of Representatives. At the time, the USCP was evacuating Members from the Chamber, which the mob was trying to enter from multiple doorways."
It also gave a harrowing account of what the officer, who was not identified, was facing at the time of the attack.
"Members of the mob attempted to break through the doors by striking them and breaking the glass with their hands, flagpoles, helmets, and other objects. Eventually, the three USCP officers positioned outside the doors were forced to evacuate. As members of the mob continued to strike the glass doors, Ms. Babbitt attempted to climb through one of the doors where glass was broken out," the statement said.
The officer "fired one round from his service pistol, striking Ms. Babbitt in the left shoulder, causing her to fall back from the doorway and onto the floor," the statement said. "A USCP emergency response team, which had begun making its way into the hallway to try and subdue the mob, administered aid to Ms. Babbitt, who was transported to Washington Hospital Center, where she succumbed to her injuries".
The Justice Department said the focus of the investigation was to determine whether the officer violated any federal laws, including federal criminal civil rights violations.
It noted that in federal court, “evidence that an officer acted out of fear, mistake, panic, misperception, negligence, or even poor judgment cannot establish the high level of intent required” under the law. The announcement also said that Babbitt's family had been notified that the case is closed.
Babbitt was an Air Force veteran who was a decorated security forces controller and served multiple Middle East tours from 2004 to 2016, according to Air Force records.
Babbitt was a loyal Fox News watcher, according to thousands of tweets to Fox News hosts, and also engaged on social media with the conspiracy site InfoWars. In 2020, Babbitt began to tweet with accounts and hashtags associated with QAnon. The day before the rally, she tweeted, "Nothing will stop us....they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!”
Babbitt was one of five people, including a Capitol Police officer, to die as a result of the riot.
More than 300 people have been charged with taking part in the riot, which happened as a joint session of Congress was tallying the Electoral College vote count.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

A man charged with beating a police officer at the Capitol riot has been forced to stay in jail before his trial because he tried to flee to Switzerland, judge says
wbostock@businessinsider.com (Bill Bostock)
Jeffrey Sabol, 51, is charged with beating a police officer at the Capitol riot.
Sabol has been detained since January. Earlier this month a judge denied him pretrial release.
The judge said Sabol was a flight risk and had tried fleeing to Switzerland days after the riot.
A man charged with assaulting a police officer at the Capitol riot has been denied pretrial release because he had tried to flee to Switzerland, a Washington, DC, judge has ruled.
In the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection, Jeffrey Sabol, 51, drove to Boston from his Colorado home with a plan to fly to Switzerland, District Judge Emmet Sullivan said in an April 7 ruling published by CNN.
In interviews with law-enforcement officers, Sabol, a geophysicist, said "he planned to ski while in Switzerland to make his trip 'look natural,'" Sullivan wrote. The judge said Sabol abandoned his plan, however, after spotting police officers at the airport.
Last week, Sullivan denied a request from Sabol for pretrial release. Sabol has been in jail since his January 27 arrest, CNN reported, and has yet to enter a plea.
Sullivan wrote in the ruling: "If released, Mr. Sabol may again try to flee or otherwise attempt to prevent his prosecution from moving forward."
Sabol has been given numerous charges, including assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon on January 6, according to a Justice Department indictment.
Prosecutors have accused Sabol of taking a baton from a vulnerable Metropolitan Police Department officer, and Sullivan wrote that he "subsequently wielded it while helping drag another officer into the violent mob where he sustained prolonged beatings."
Sabol was then seen placing the baton on the back of the immobile officer's head, Sullivan said.
Sabol first alerted the police on January 11 that he had been at the January 6 riot, after he was pulled over for driving erratically in New City, New York, Sullivan said.
In the car, officers found Sabol "covered in blood from severe lacerations on his thighs and arms," the court ruling said.
Sabol told officers he had attempted to kill himself, and said he was part of the Capitol riot while being questioned, the judge said.
After returning from Washington, DC, to Colorado on January 7, Sabol destroyed his electronic devices by putting them in a microwave, Sullivan wrote, and hid two guns at the house of an associate.
"Mr. Sabol's willingness to act violently during what he perceived to be a 'battle' and a fight against tyranny is extremely troubling," Sullivan said in the ruling.
"That he acted violently against law enforcement protecting the peaceful transition of power based on a belief that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen is also very alarming."
As of Tuesday, 414 people had been charged with participating in the January 6 riot.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Biden issues sweeping new sanctions against Russia
Olivia Gazis
Washington — The Biden administration issued a wide range of sanctions against Russia on Thursday in retaliation for recent incursions including the SolarWinds cyber espionage campaign and Moscow's interference in the 2020 presidential election.
The sanctions target more than 30 Russian entities and include the expulsion of at least 10 Russian individuals from the U.S., including intelligence officials and diplomats. The administration also issued an executive order barring U.S. financial institutions from purchasing ruble-denominated bonds beginning in June of 2021, according to a White House fact sheet.
"The Biden administration has been clear that the United States desires a relationship with Russia that is stable and predictable," the White House said. "We do not think that we need to continue on a negative trajectory. However, we have also been clear — publicly and privately — that we will defend our national interests and impose costs for Russian Government actions that seek to harm us."
Administration officials have vowed for weeks to exact costs from Moscow. In a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, President Biden said the U.S. would "act firmly" in defense of its national interests while proposing a summit with the Russian leader to discuss a "full range of issues."
The White House also said the sanctions were in response to reports that Russia encouraged Taliban fighters to injure or kill coalition forces in Afghanistan. "Given the sensitivity of this matter, which involves the safety and well-being of our forces, it is being handled through diplomatic, military and intelligence channels," the White House statement said.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Thursday that during their call, Mr. Biden informed Putin the U.S. was about to respond to cyber intrusions and election interference by Russia.
Sullivan summarized Mr. Biden's comments to Putin as, "He said, 'I told you that I was going to look into this, I made a determination that Russia has, in fact, conducted these actions. And I'm a man of my word, I am going to respond. But I'm not looking to escalate, I'm looking to provide proportionate responses. And I believe that it is in our interest to find a stable and predictable way forward in this relationship.'"
According to an unclassified report from the U.S. intelligence community, Putin authorized influence campaigns aimed at hurting Mr. Biden's candidacy during the 2020 election and boost former President Donald Trump.
"A key element of Moscow's strategy this election cycle was its use of proxies linked to Russian intelligence to push influence narratives — including misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden — to U.S. media organizations, U.S. officials, and prominent U.S. individuals, including some close to former President Trump and his administration," the declassified report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated.
Last year, cybersecurity researchers identified a hack of a piece of software called SolarWinds — an intrusion that gave cyber criminals access to 18,000 government and private computer networks. The U.S. intelligence community has identified hackers in Russia as behind the attack, and they gained access to digital files of several U.S. government agencies, including the Treasury, Justice and State Departments.
Microsoft President Brad Smith in February told "60 Minutes" that the SolarWinds hack was "the largest and most sophisticated attack the world has ever seen."
The U.S. has also publicly warned Russia against aggressive actions in Ukraine. Russia has amassed more than 40,000 troops on Ukraine's eastern border, and more than 40,000 in Crimea, the region that Putin annexed away from Ukraine and declared Russian in 2014.
Russia warns U.S. to stay away from Ukraine for its "own good"
On Wednesday, at a meeting in Brussels with NATO allies, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. is "deeply concerned about what we're seeing, about Russia's ongoing aggressive actions, rhetoric directed at Ukraine."
Top intelligence officials on Wednesday told a Senate panel that Russia would continue to employ "a variety of tactics" to undermine the U.S., including mercenary operations, assassinations, arms sales, cyber capabilities and malign influence campaigns — but that Moscow did not seek military conflict. -

Chris Christie Reportedly Buries Trump in Closed-Door Speech to GOP Congressmen: I Warned Him to ‘Knock Off Some of This Crazy Stuff’
Joe DePaolo
Chris Christie is pinning the blame for the Republican party’s defeat in the 2020 election squarely on former President Donald Trump.
According to RealClearPolitics, the former New Jersey governor performed something of a 2020 election autopsy on Wednesday, while charting the course forward for the Republican party in a closed-door address to the Republican Study Committee — a group comprised entirely of current GOP House members. And in his remarks, Christie attributed the party’s two losses in the Georgia Senate runoff elections to Trump’s focus on what he falsely deemed to be a “rigged” presidential vote in the state.
“[F]rankly, if my friend had gone down there and talked about Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, and not about Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, we would be in the majority in the Senate right now,” Christie said — in a clear reference to Trump without mentioning him by name.
The former New Jersey governor added, “We lost because we were looking in the rearview mirror at what happened on general election day, not what was going to happen on runoff election day. We were telling them it was rigged, and so they said, ‘Hell, why should I go to a rigged election? My vote’s not gonna matter anyway.’”
Christie then went a step further — putting Trump on the hook not only for the GOP’s loss of control in the senate, but also for its defeat in the presidential race.
“We didn’t lose the White House because the American people disagree with our ideas and support what [Democrats] are trying to do right now,” Christie said, per the RealClearPolitics report. “We know why we lost. We know why we lost, and so does President Trump.”
And in case it wasn’t clear to those present, the former New Jersey governor spelled it out fully.
“I told the president 131 days out, if you don’t knock off some of this crazy stuff, your behavior is going to obscure your accomplishments,” Christie said. “And if this becomes an election for student council president, we don’t win because [President Joe Biden] doesn’t offend anybody as a category.”The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
