Maxine Waters: I Have Never Glorified or Encouraged Violence Against Republicans

Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Velshi” denied she glorified or encouraged violence against Republicans.

In a video clip, waters said, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up, and if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd, and you push back on them. You tell them that they’re not welcome anymore anywhere! We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents. The children are suffering.”

Anchor Ali Velshi said, “I was able to play that clip that you were referring to from June 23rd, 2018, where you’re asking people to confront Republicans at department stores, gas stations, and restaurants and tell them they’re not welcome. That’s the stuff that Donald Trump’s attorneys say proves that you and others are doing the same thing Donald Trump was doing on January 6th and in the days before that. What’s the difference?”

Waters said, “They’re going to try it, but nothing any Democrat that I know of have ever said or acted in the way the president of the United States has acted. People must realize this president was out to destroy our democracy if he could not be president. He sent those people, those domestic terrorists, to the Capitol to take over the Capitol. Even they are saying so. They’re saying they were invited by the president. The president was rallying them right before they went. He told them to be tough. He told them to take back their government. And so nothing equals that.”

She continued, “Yes, I defended those poor children in cages that the Trump administration has left there separated from their parents. There was a movement at the time where restaurants were denying members of his administration of his cabinet and saying you guys should speak up for the children. And so that does not in any way equal what this president has said and what he has done. As a matter of fact, the Republicans should be afraid not only about the destruction of our democracy, but if they continue to support him and allow themselves to be guided by him, they’re going to have to live with a president that dictates to them every vote they can take, every vote they cannot take, he’s going to be in their primaries, they will be owned by this dishonorable human being. If that’s how they want to live, if they would rather be owned by the president who in fact tried to destroy our democracy in order to stay in office, then they don’t deserve to be elected. So no matter what he says about me or Nancy Pelosi, Cory Booker, or anybody they’re going to point to, it won’t work. It won’t work at all because nothing matches the way this president has tried to destroy this democracy.”

Velshi said, “So let me ask you because this is what they’re going to say. Can you say that you have not glorified or encouraged violence against Republicans?”

Waters said, “Absolutely, I can say it. As a matter of fact, if you look at the words that I used, the strongest thing I was was to tell them they’re not welcome, talk to them, tell them they’re not welcome. I didn’t say go and fight. I didn’t say anybody was going to have any violence. So they can’t make that statement.”

“MAGA Terrorism” – CNN’s Jake Tapper Says Trump Supporters Who Question 2020 Election Results Need to be ‘Held Accountable’

This is CNN.

CNN’s “State of the Union” anchor Jake Tapper labeled Trump supporters ‘terrorists’ and said people who question the 2020 election results must be held accountable.

After pushing the ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ lie for years, CNN is now telling Trump supporters to sit down and shut up about the Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election.

“If there is no accountability and no attempt by the Republican Party to stop these insane lies that have taken root in their party… This is not going to be the end of MAGA terrorism, this will only be the beginning,” Jake Tapper said.

Not a word from Jake Tapper about BLM-Antifa terrorists marching through DC last night chanting, “Burn it down!”

Not a word from CNN when Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters called for Republicans to be violently attacked and harassed.

Haiti's President Says "Attempted Coup D'Etat" Foiled; 23 Arrested

AFP News Agency reports Haitian authorities arrested more than 20 people accused of trying to murder President Jovenel Moise and overthrow the government.

The "attempted coup d'etat", according to justice minister Rockefeller Vincent, included some high-ranking officials. Authorities said they arrested a top judge and national police officers, along with seizing a cache of weapons.

Moise thanked his head of security for foiling the coup d'etat. He said, "the goal of these people was to make an attempt on my life - that plan was aborted."

Moise alleged the plot to overthrow the government began late last year but did not provide further details or the names of the people who were arrested. The president has been governing the Caribbean country for more than one year without checks and balances on his power.

Fort Hood Restricts Base Access After Shooting Incident

Army officials at Fort Hood, Texas tightened the base's gate security to restrict access after an on-base shooting early Saturday morning.

No one was injured in the shooting, but Fort Hood has suspended its Trusted Traveler Program that allowed military personnel with valid military identification to "escort or vouch for adult passengers … in their vehicle," according to a Fort Hood news release.

The shooting occurred at approximately 12:50 a.m. in a parking lot on base, another news release states.

The shooter is suspected to be a former soldier, who was "socializing with current soldiers when he fired a pistol," according to the release.

"The suspect was immediately disarmed and apprehended without further incident," according to the release that added that the suspect is now in military police custody. "This was an isolated and rapidly resolved incident."

Fort Hood officials say there is "no ongoing threat," but moved Saturday evening to restrict access to the base, according to the release.

Fort Hood's suspension of its Trusted Traveler Program comes one day after officials at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland imposed similar access restrictions after a male with outstanding arrest warrants trespassed onto the base and boarded an Air Force C-40 Clipper aircraft before being apprehended.

"In recent weeks, the III Corps commanding general initiated a review of installation access authorization – entering Fort Hood is a privilege not a right," Fort Hood spokesman Col. Myles Caggins III told Military.com in a statement. "Also, a review of post access policy for former soldiers who were separated for misconduct is underway. Our priority is the safety and security of the soldiers, families, civilians, and community members who work, live, and play at Fort Hood."

Fort Hood became the subject of national news coverage last year following the disappearance and death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen, a 3rd Cavalry Regiment soldier who was murdered by a fellow unit member.

Guillen, along with the deaths of other Fort Hood soldiers, prompted then-Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy to order an independent review of the command climate at Hood, which found that the leadership at the base had allowed a culture of sexual harassment and assault to fester. As a result, the Army fired or suspended 14 leaders at the base.

The Army also created a special task force to implement the independent review's 70 recommendations, some of them focused on Hood and others for the entire Army. The task force briefed the Senate Armed Services Committee in a close-door meeting on Thursday.

"It's going to take real leadership to fix the problems at Fort Hood and throughout the Army," committee Chairman Jack Reed, D-R.I., and ranking member Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., said in a joint statement following the hearing.

"What we heard today gives us hope but hope alone isn't enough. We look forward to working with the task force and leadership at DoD to solve these troubling issues once and for all."

US soldier charged after wife found dead in barracks

A US Army soldier has been arrested for allegedly killing his estranged wife in Hawaii — weeks after her body was found in the barracks.

Army Spc. Raul Hernandez Perez, 25, from Naples, Fla., was charged Thursday with the murder of his 25-year-old wife, Selena Roth, the Hawaii Star Advertiser reported.

Roth, who was an Army veteran, was found dead Jan. 13 at the Schofield Barracks.

Her family had requested a welfare check that led authorities to find her body in a trash can, Hawaii News Now reported.

“Our brigade and the Army community are heartbroken by Selena’s death,” said Col. Theodore Travis in a statement. “We have extended our condolences to Selena’s family, friends and loved ones.”

No further details have been released about the circumstances surrounding her death, but court records suggest that the couple’s relationship had been deteriorating.

Roth and Hernandez Perez had filed for divorce in October.

The following month, Hernandez Perez sought an order of protection against his wife, claiming that she “threw” electronics and let the air out of his car tires, the Star Advertiser reported.

Roth’s sister, Aubrey Rangel, wrote on a GoFundMe page that she is survived by a “beautiful young daughter who will never get the chance to know her mother.”

“She is leaving behind a father and a mother who adored her. No parent should have to bury their child,” the page said. “Selena is leaving behind many siblings [and] we are all grieving for the loss of our baby sister.”

Indian Nationalists Burn Images Of Kamala’s Niece For Backing Soros, Greta Thunberg-Sponsored Protests

Meena Harris was a vocal advocate for the violent Indian farm protests, which are also backed by Islamists and communists.

An Indian nationalist group burned images of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris, and left-wing environmental activist Greta Thunberg, after the two individuals endorsed the ongoing Soros-backed protest movement in India.

The nationalist United Hindu Front, which supports the government of India, burned images of Harris and Thunberg after they vocally promoted the violent protest movement on Twitter.

Harris had falsely claimed “democracy is under assault” in India, after the democratically-elected conservative government of India attempted to pass agricultural reform legislation.

“Weird to see a photo of yourself burned by an extremist mob,” wrote Harris, who is descended from Indians. “Imagine what they would do if we lived in India.”

She compared the agricultural bill to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, and described the two situations as “related”, before claiming that there was “paramilitary violence” in India against left-wing, anti-government protesters.

On her part, Thunberg stated that she stands “in solidarity” with the protests, which have devolved into rioting in recent weeks.

She also shared a “toolkit”, which appeared to contain canned talking points that had been distributed to influential Twitter personalities on the situation in India. The exposure of this toolkit, which she initially deleted and then reposted an edited version of, provoked a heavy backlash from patriotic Indians, including an investigation by Indian authorities into its origin.

Report on wealthy celebs using government Covid-19 bailouts sparks debate over fate of taxpayers' funds

Millionaire celebrities like filmmaker Guy Ritchie have taken advantage of the UK taxpayer-funded job retention programme, the Sun has reported, sparking a heated debate on Twitter on whether they should be allowed to do so.

Ritchie, a renowned filmmaker, whose reported net worth amounts to more than £100 million ($137.3 million), has used the state-run Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to pay 19 workers of his Fatboy Pub Company, the Sun on Sunday reported, citing government documents it obtained.

The filmmaker’s firm which was on the government furlough programme list by December manages his Lore of the Land pub in central London. It previously reportedly posted losses of £457,000 ($627,700) while saying in October 2020 that its leadership will seek “all available government assistance” to keep the business afloat during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ritchie, however, is neither the only nor the wealthiest public figure to make use of London’s generosity. The list obtained by the Sun as part of its “probe” into the issue also contains the names of celebrity chefs Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, who also used the scheme to support their restaurant businesses. Oliver’s estimated wealth accounts for £240 million ($329.6 million), according to the Sun, but this fact didn't stop him from accepting the money from the government.

Neither did it stop India’s billionaire steel magnate, Lakshmi Mittal, who also received support for his company ArcelorMittal despite his reported net worth amounting to a whopping £6.78 billion ($9.31 billion).

ArcelorMittal said that “the steel industry was hit hard by Covid” and that it was “very grateful to many governments for providing financial support.” Most recently, the company, which is one of the biggest steel producers, announced it was no longer using the UK government’s support scheme.
