Pelosi: GOP 'cowardice' on Jan. 6 vote makes 'our country less safe'

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed Republicans on Friday who voted against the creation of an independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“Leader McConnell and Senate Republicans’ denial of the truth of the January 6th insurrection brings shame to the Senate. Republicans’ cowardice in rejecting the truth of that dark day makes our Capitol and our country less safe,” the Speaker said in a press release

The next time they attack, they will have guns.

They filibustered the truth. - Dan Rather

Germany To Pay Namibia 1.3 Billion For 100 Year Old Genocide

More than 100 years after the crimes committed by the German colonial power in what is now Namibia, Germany has formally recognized the atrocities committed against the Herero and Nama ethnic groups as genocide.

Germany will support Namibia and the descendants of the victims with €1.1 billion ($1.3 billion) for reconstruction and development and ask for forgiveness for the "crimes of German colonial rule," German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said in a statement on Friday.

Mitch McConnell, you just won the first subpoena of the House investigation, come on down. - John Fugelsang

If you want to know how effective the psyops that Trump used on folks was all you have to do is look at Jan 6th, that’s why the GOP doesn’t want you to look. He got folks in broad daylight on LIVE TV to attack the US Capitol. Just how bat sh*t scary that is cannot be overstated. - Noel Casler

 

Florida Woman Provides Evidence On Herself To The FBI

Using Facebook photos and video captured during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the FBI this week accused a one-time Palm Beach County, Florida, commission candidate and former GOP heavyweight of joining the deadly rampage.

Jody Tagaris, 67, who lives near Jupiter, is charged with four federal misdemeanors, accusing her of illegally entering a restricted building and being disruptive and disorderly once inside.

Lest you thought the Trump crime family was done, they still own some Senators and some in Congress. - Jeremy Newberger

Peace.

Life comes at you fast

I have another appointment at noon to get Pfizered! Hopefully. 

There are driving restrictions in place and my taxi ride is restricted but the police said we could go.

AND on top of that, the power is being turned off this morning to replace the electric line to my house. So a new edition of AHNC will be delayed until tomorrow. Mea culpa.

Newly settled gringos here have often asked me what type of car they should purchase. I often say  --  don't buy a car, buy a helicopter.

Wish me luck!

Goblin Valley State Park is in Utah. The park features thousands of hoodoos, referred to locally as goblins, which are formations of mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles.

Peace.

I received a call last evening that I had a vaccine appointment in the morning

 

Nah, I think I'll wait. There were around 200+ people in line and it was hot, the kind of hot laced with choking humidity. 

So by the time the taxi dropped off my friend, who also decided to delay his vax, I ran several errands and here I am. I did speak with the medic and he said I need the Pfizer vaccine and they don't have any at this location and he will call me when they receive the Pfizer vax. Sigh. Glad I didn't wait in that heat.

Thank you for stopping by and I will have a fresh edition tomorrow.

Peace when I'm Pfizered.
