Capitol Police Union delivers 'overwhelming vote' of no confidence
Trump’s Capitol speech ‘does not meet’ standards of criminal incitement: Turley
Jonathan Turley, law professor and Fox News contributor, argues the former president ‘can be charged’ for inciting the Capitol riot, but says he has ‘serious doubts’ the case would succeed.
The U.S. Capitol Police Labor Union on Monday delivered an "overwhelming vote of No Confidence" on the senior leadership of the U.S. Capitol Police.
The vote comes after the Executive Board of the Capitol Police Union last week called for its members to consider a vote of no confidence following the senior leadership’s mishandling of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots.
The Board said it decided to hold a vote after reviewing the events on and leading up to the events of Jan. 6, which resulted in the deaths of six people and approximately 140 Capitol and Metropolitan Police officers.

Joe Biden Marks 3rd Anniversary of Parkland Shooting with Gun Control Push
President Joe Biden marked February 14, 2021–the third anniversary of the Parkland school shooting–by calling on Congress to pass more gun control.
He used a tweet to recount the heinous attack, writing, “In seconds, the lives of dozens of families, and the life of an American community, was changed forever.”
Biden referenced the “lone gunman [who] took the lives of 14 students and three educators” and also directed attention toward violence in certain cities across America. He suggested singled out the “gun violence disproportionately devastating Black and Brown individuals in our cities.”
He concluded, in part, by writing:
Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.
A number of things needs to be noted.
First, the Parkland shooter acquired his gun “legally,” according to USA Today. That terminology means he went through a background check, so expanding checks from retail alone to retail and private sales would have done nothing to prevent the attack.
Secondly, the Parkland attack was not carried out “in seconds.” Rather, ABC News reported that the gunman had enough time to “[stop] firing five times to reload his” firearm.
In fact, the Atlanta Constitution-Journal reported the length of the attack at “six minutes.”
This means the attacker could have caused mayhem with any size magazine–he could swap empty mags for full ones–because he had time.
When the commission investigating the Parkland shooting put forward its findings, one key suggestion was to enable teachers to be armed so any future, would-be attacker, would not have the benefit of carrying out his evil deeds without armed response. On January 3, 2019, Breitbart News noted that the commission’s report recommended that teachers “who volunteer to undergo firearms training, should be allowed to carry guns.”
But Biden has made clear no federal funds will be used to train teachers to use guns for classroom defense.
Moreover, Biden mentioned the cities where gun violence is surging but did not note that some of the most violent cities already have the controls he wants federally.
For example, South L.A. saw a 742 percent surge in shooting victims during the first 16 days of 2021, although California has universal background checks and “assault weapons” ban.

Confirmed - Biden’s DHS Releasing Border Crossers into U.S. Without Coronavirus Tests
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is not requiring all border crossers to get tested for the Chinese coronavirus before releasing them into the United States, the agency confirmed to Breitbart News.
A DHS spokesperson responded to a question from Breitbart News about whether President Joe Biden supported mandatory coronavirus testing for border crossers released into the U.S. interior.
“As Customs and Border Protection always has, it adjusts resources as needed to meet the demand at the border and regularly screens individuals for signs of health issues when they are encountered, including COVID-19,” the spokesperson told Breitbart News. “Anyone who shows signs of illness receives the appropriate medical treatment.”
The response confirms that untested border crossers are continuing to be released into the U.S. interior as long as they are not exhibiting coronavirus symptoms.
On the other hand, DHS officials have said that migrants enrolled in the now-defunct Remain in Mexico program, set to be released into the U.S. interior this month, will have to undergo coronavirus testing. Internal communications reviewed by Breitbart News, though, show no mentions of this requirement.
“Individuals processed through this program will be tested for COVID-19 before entering the United States,” the administration confirmed.
Most border crossers apprehended and released at the southern border also appear to enjoy a less stringent testing standard that even foreign travelers to the U.S. experience.
Shortly after he was inaugurated, President Joe Biden signed an executive order requiring foreign travelers to the U.S. “to the extent feasible” to produce a negative test for the coronavirus prior to entry and to either isolate or quarantine themselves for several days after they arrive.
This week, Breitbart News reported that 25,600 migrants enrolled in the Remain in Mexico program are to be released into communities in El Paso and Brownsville, Texas, and San Diego, California. The mass release effort comes after Biden ended the program despite its effectiveness in drastically reducing asylum fraud.
Data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University (TRAC) has previously revealed that about 85 percent of asylum cases by Central Americans are rejected and a total of nearly 70,000 migrants were returned to their native countries after not meeting asylum requirements since the program was created.
The TRAC data found that tens of thousands of migrants actually gave up on their asylum cases while they waited in Mexico because they were aware that their claims were not valid. By December 2020, more than 31,000 migrants had left Mexico and returned to their native countries without having their cases heard.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed last week that the U.S.-Mexico border was “not open” during an exchange with Breitbart News even as at least 2,000 border crossers have been released into the U.S. interior between February 1 to 10. Tens of thousands more are expected to be released in the coming months.

62 percent say third political party is needed in US
Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the U.S. needs a third major political party because the GOP and Democratic Party "do such a poor job representing the American people," according to a new Gallup poll.
In the survey released Monday, 62 percent of Americans said the third party was needed, while 33 percent said the two existing major parties do an "adequate" job representing the majority of Americans' political views.
It's the largest percentage of people to say the U.S. needs a third party since Gallup began polling on the question in 2003. The poll also marks the second-lowest percentage of people who said the existing parties are adequate after 26 percent of respondents said so in an October 2013 poll.

Both parties have favorable ratings below 50 percent. The Democratic Party is viewed favorably by 48 percent of Americans, while the GOP is viewed favorably by 37 percent.
Four in 10 Republicans say they want their party to become more conservative after the end of former President Trump's term, while 34 percent hope it will stay the same and just 24 percent want it to become more moderate. Democrats are more split, with 34 percent wanting their party to shift left, 34 percent wanting it to remain the same and 31 percent wanting it to shift right.
The Gallup poll results are based on responses from 906 U.S. adults living in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., from Jan. 21 to Feb. 2. The poll's margin of error is 4 percentage points.

House Dem campaign committee hires ex-gangster who called Capitol Police "white supremacists"
DCCC defended hiring saying he had served his time and is now a national leader in criminal justice education reform movement
he Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee recently hired a new senior advisor for strategic outreach, who referred to police officers as "white supremacists" after last month's breach of the U.S. Capitol, and had previously condoned the looting that took place last summer following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
"The answer to white supremacists storming the Capitol is not to give more money to a different group of white supremacists who's [sic] job it is to uphold white supremacy," Dyjuan Tatro tweeted in regard to the Capitol Police budget.
Tatro made those comments prior to joining the DCCC in early February.
He was featured in a 2019 documentary, "College Behind Bars," for earning a degree while still in prison. He served his time for a number of gang related offenses, including shooting rival gang members, "razor slashing" and drug dealing. He was freed from prison in 2017.
A DCCC spokesman, Cole Leiter defended Tatro after the New York Post published an article detailing Tatro's criminal history.
"Dyjuan Tatro serves his time. Then DCCC hires him after he becomes a national leader in a bipartisan movement to reform prison education systems. [New York] Post publishes trash headline," Leiter tweeted on Monday.
A DCCC press release said that hiring Tatro and other operatives would bring "years of critical experience in progressive politics, and a valuable range of background."
Republicans pushed back, saying that hiring Tatro will reinforce criticism that Democrats are soft on crime.
"It's certainly on-brand for criminal-coddling Democrats, but the rest of America will find it disturbing that a murderous gang member is holding a prominent position with the DCCC," said New York state Republican Party Chairman Nick Langworthy.

We are the news though.
The Hill pick up twitter censorship of a valentines joke about the 2020 election being stolen
Twitter labels Indiana AG's tweet of Valentine's Day meme that election was stolen from Trump
Twitter has added a warning label to a Valentine's Day-themed meme about the 2020 election posted by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita (R) and blocked users from interacting with the tweet.
The tweet included an image of former President Trump and the message: "You stole my heart like a 2020 election. Happy Valentine's Day."
Liking, commenting and retweeting the image has been blocked by Twitter. The platform also added a label to the tweet that reads: "This claim of election fraud is disputed, and this Tweet can't be replied to, retweeted, or liked due to a risk of violence."
The Hill has reached out to Twitter for further comment.
The label marks just the latest instance the social media giant has taken action to address misinformation about the 2020 presidential election on its platform. It previously added labels to former President Trump's tweets before ultimately banning him from the platform after the Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
Trump and his supporters have repeatedly claimed the 2020 presidential election included widespread voter fraud, though there is no evidence to support allegations that there was enough fraud to change the election results.

President Biden has expressed a preference for a fire built in the Oval Office fireplace, and sometimes adds a log himself to keep it going.
Unlike his recent predecessors, he's more of an early-to-bed type. Here's how Biden is settling into his new job.
