Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) suggested Thursday that Capitol Police and Democrats are hyping up the bizarre online theories of QAnon as justification for keeping Washington DC under ‘occupation’.

Following a story in Newsweek that highlighted how some QAnon followers believe President Trump is to be ‘reinstalled’ on March 4th, Capitol authorities and Democrats used it as a reason to keep troops and razor wire fences in place.

During a Wednesday hearing, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith said “Some of these people have figured out that apparently 75 years ago, the president used to be inaugurated on March 4. OK, now why that’s relevant, God knows, at any rate, now they are thinking maybe we should gather again and storm the Capitol on March 4. … That is circulating online.”

Rep. Gatez responded on Twitter:

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) responded to Gaetz, suggesting that ‘swamp’ creatures are using the ‘threat’ of conspiracists to take away freedoms:

The representatives’ comments come days after a leaked email suggested that there are plans to keep the National Guard in DC beyond the previously discussed deadline of March 12th, and throughout the Summer AND Fall.

A report by FOX 5 cited an internal email seen by reporters that reveals The National Security Council is asking the Department of Defense to engage Capitol Police on planning for post-March 12th support.

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security Robert Salesses said Wednesday that the Capitol Police requested that 4,900 troops remain in DC through March 12.

Tucker Carlson dedicated an important monologue to the late Rush Limbaugh Wednesday, emphasising that the legendary talk radio host has been fighting against censorship for his entire 30 year run.

“Rush Limbaugh actually believed things, and believed them with sincerity. That was his secret. What he believed most of all was that America is a good and decent place and worth preserving,” Carlson stated.

Carlson then noted that because Limbaugh was so well versed with the founding documents of America, he instantly became a threat to the corporate establishment.

“That was a threat to the people who wanted to be more powerful than the Constitution allows, so they tried to silence him,” Carlson noted.

“We think of corporate censorship as a new phenomenon, but Rush Limbaugh was fighting it 30 years ago, and winning,” he added, noting that Limbaugh was dubbed “The most dangerous man in America” because he told the truth.

Carlson’s guest Mark Steyn described Limbaugh as one of the most generous people he ever met, and a man to whom he owes almost everything.

Steyn further added that had Limbaugh’s listenership been a country, it would have been one of the most powerful nations on the planet.

Infowars’ Alex Jones and guest Mancow Muller, a personal friend of Limbaugh’s, paid their own tributes to the talk radio pioneer who vastly influenced both their careers:

While Joe Biden plays Mario Kart and gets an early night, Kamala Harris is talking to world leaders, prompting the question who really is the President of the United States now?

The New York Post reports that Harris spoke at length with French President Emmanuel Macron this week.

The Vice President’s office released a statement noting that the two “agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change, and support democracy at home and around the world.”

“They also discussed numerous regional challenges, including those in the Middle East and Africa, and the need to confront them together,” the statement added.

Macron also tweeted his regards to Harris over the discussion:

This comes after Harris spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau earlier in the month.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki also announced on Tuesday that it is unlikely Biden will meet with any foreign leaders for months.

Is this normal? The President isn’t speaking to any foreign leaders, but the VP is.

The short answer is no, it isn’t normal.

The NY Post notes that former Vice President Mike Pence “occasionally spoke directly by phone with foreign leaders, but that role generally was performed by former President Donald Trump, especially last year.”

“A review of press notices from Pence’s final year in office reveals no readouts of direct calls with the leaders of foreign nations,” the Post added.

So, when he realises ‘where the hell’ he is, what is Biden actually doing?
