First Thing: Trump ‘deeply unnerved’ over Capitol attack investigation
Flurry of revelations raises prospect that the committee may be heading towards an incriminating conclusion.

Good morning.
Donald Trump is increasingly agitated by the House select committee investigating the Capitol attack, according to sources familiar with the matter, and appears anxious that he could be implicated in the sprawling inquiry into the insurrection even as he protests his innocence.
The former president in recent weeks has complained more about the investigation, demanding to know why his former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows shared so much material with the select committee and why dozens of other aides have also cooperated.
The portrait that emerges from interviews with multiple sources close to Trump, including current and former aides, suggests a former president unmoored and backed into a corner by the rapid escalation in intensity of the committee’s investigation.
Adam Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the 6 January committee, said he was not yet ready to declare the former president guilty of a crime, but that the panel was investigating the likelihood that he is.
The US is “closer to civil war than any of us would like to believe”, a member of a key CIA advisory panel has said. The analysis by Barbara F Walter, a political science professor, is contained in a book due out next year.

She warns that getting the virus first isn't recommended because 'we cannot predict who will get very ill with COVID.'
'What we're saying is, we know life happens. If you happen to be exposed to the virus, you'll have this amazing immune response,' Tafesse said. 'It mirrors the immunity response we get to the booster.'
Getting a booster may provide crucial protection against Omicron, according to a study by a team at the Public Health Institute in Oakland, California released last month.
The Pfizer-BioNTech jab - which is far and away the most commonly used in the US - saw its effectiveness drop from 87 percent in March to 43 percent in September.
Moderna's shot held up the best, and is the only one of the three to still be more than 50 percent effective.
The shot's effectiveness has still fallen greatly, though, from 89 percent in March to 58 percent in September.
Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients are especially at risk with just 13 percent efficacy against contracting the virus.
Meanwhile, Columbia University study looked at people given a booster of one of the two mRNA vaccines and found that boosted people had 6.5 times fewer antibodies for Omicron than the original virus.
It was less of a drop than that of people who only got a normal two-dose course. There was a 21-fold drop in neutralizing antibodies against Omicron after two doses of Pfizer compared to the original strain and a 8.6-fold drop with Moderna's jabs.
The study has not been peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal.
Omicron already accounts for about three percent of cases nationwide and 13 percent of cases in the New York/New Jersey area, according to recent modeling data from the Centers for Disease Control.
+13
On Saturday, New York state reported that the number of Omicron cases in New York City - the epicenter of the first wave of the pandemic - was 192, though there are likely more, New York Magazine reports.
On Saturday, New York reported 21,908 cases of COVID-19 throughout the state, a slight uptick from Friday's 21,027 new cases, which was already a new single-day record.
The CDC maintains that vaccines continue to be effective against the worst outcomes of COVID-19.
'With other variants, like Delta, vaccines have remained effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. The recent emergence of Omicron further emphasizes the importance of vaccination and boosters,' the CDC says.
The agency says Omicron will 'likely' spread more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus, but it's not known how much easier it spreads than the Delta variant, which sent cases soaring late this summer.
There is no truce in the cauldron of geopolitics.
>an over active immune system, so if peoples antibodies are being jacked like that, other than obvious death what are we looking at?
Cancer is essentially due to an overactive immune system.
*Sorry no sauce, phone faggin
But fear not, my genuine perception is that hcq & Ivermectin probably cures most cancers give. The absolute throwdown against them from the oharma overlords and their minions.
Also, look up dog dewormer for cancer cure.
It's a real thing.
Essentially, cancer is caused by a virus.
See / look up " royal rife"
He was. Turn of the century scientist.
Come this far to be weak minded?
The people you hate are Mafia….of any and every variety.
To hate one ethnic group misses the mark, which is exactly what they want you to do…(miss the mark)
Because when you miss the mark, they have continued room to operate.
Why give them that room now?
It's about individuals and the character / actions of the individual.
The individual = The Ultimate Minority
And protecting the rights of the individual is what matters most for the well being of society. Chip away at that, and eventually, they force you to get the mark of the beast.
KEK!
