Instagram Reportedly Set to Join Twitter and Facebook — May Suspend President Trump’s Account for 24 Hours

President Trump released a video statement Wednesday afternoon calling for peace and for his supporters to go home after they stormed the Capitol Building earlier in the day to disrupt the joint session of Congress that was meeting to certify the votes of the Electoral College for president in favor of Joe Biden.

Twitter blocked distribution of the video claiming it was a risk for provoking violence, not allowing comments, likes, bookmarks or retweets. Only quote tweets are currently being allowed. Even so, the video has over six million views in less than twenty minutes of being posted at 4:17 p.m. EST.

President Trump called for peace in the streets.

Later today both Facebook and Twitter DELETED the President’s call for peace.

C-SPAN Reinstates Journalist Steve Scully After He Was Caught Lying About Being Hacked

It seems it's only "cancel culture" when the mob wants to cancel someone on the right.

We say that because there appears to be no outrage after C-SPAN announced that "never Trumper" Steve Scully would be keeping his job at the network after an embarrassing incident last October where Scully admitted he lied about his Twitter account being hacked.

The network wrote on January 5: "Steve Scully, who was placed on administrative leave in mid-October for Twitter-related controversies in conjunction with the second presidential debate, is returning to duty at C-SPAN beginning this week. His initial assignments will be off-air producing for C-SPAN television and resumption of his work on C-SPAN Radio’s 'Washington Today' program and 'The Weekly,' a podcast/interview program."

"We view October's events as a singular episode in an otherwise successful 30- year C-SPAN career. And while it was appropriate in October for Steve to be immediately relieved of his duties leading our 2020 election coverage, we reiterate our belief that now, having completed a three-month administrative leave, he can continue to contribute to CSPAN's mission," C-SPAN wrote in a statement January 5.

Former SecDef Jim Mattis Denounces Pro-Trump 'Violent Assault' on US Capitol

President Donald Trump's first secretary of defense delivered a sharp rebuke to him Wednesday night, laying responsibility for a siege of the U.S. Capitol at his feet.

"Today's violent assault on our Capitol, an effort to subjugate American democracy by mob rule, was fomented by Mr. Trump," Jim Mattis said in a statement provided to Military.com. "His use of the Presidency to destroy trust in our election and to poison our respect for fellow citizens has been enabled by pseudo political leaders whose names will live in infamy as profiles in cowardice."

Mattis, a retired four-star Marine Corps general who led the Pentagon for two years, added that the nation would overcome despite efforts to disrupt a peaceful transfer of power.

"Our Constitution and our Republic will overcome this stain and We the People will come together again in our never-ending effort to form a more perfect Union, while Mr. Trump will deservedly be left a man without a country," he said.

His comments came hours after a pro-Trump mob breached thin security at the U.S. Capitol, overrunning House and Senate offices and forcing lawmakers and staff to shelter in place. One individual was fatally shot by police during the siege. As law enforcement personnel struggled to regain control of the building, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy announced the full activation of the Washington, D.C. National Guard to back up police.

The assault on the Capitol came as Congress convened to formally count electoral votes and declare Democrat Joe Biden the president-elect. House speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that lawmakers would resume counting Wednesday night.

Mattis submitted his resignation to Trump in December 2018, after the president announced plans to withdraw all U.S.-troops from Syria in a move that would leave allies on the ground to fight Islamic State militants unaided.
