Glenn Beck = Mighty Mouth
I lost count of the instances of Glenn Beck’s disinformation in the article.
“Beck suggested that the financial institutions themselves were financing antifa in some way, saying, “If I had my money in Schwab or Fidelity, I don’t know if I would have it. They’re giving to the people who are supporting these people.”
Beck further listed crowdfunding platforms including ActBlue, Patreon, and others, but he did not indicate the channels by which money had moved through those platforms or to whom.
*“I’m not accusing anyone here. I’m just saying.”*
In 2020, Beck’s company Blaze Media, formed from the merger of TheBlaze and CRTV, reportedly had 450,000 paid subscribers.
TheBlaze.com attracts over 25 million unique visitors per month. His personal website, GlennBeck.com, receives over 4 million unique visitors monthly.
No wonder this country is so f-cked up.
OMFG:
He’s just saying…

Re Potential San Francisco deployment. A request for a National Guard presence in SF appears to have come from the CEO of Salesforce who sees an opportunity to get free security. From Politico:
“…..Benioff “[doesn’t] even live or vote” in the city, as the Salesforce chief has primarily resided in Hawaii since the pandemic. Benioff has been in town all week for Dreamforce, later clarifying “when I was recently asked about federal resources, my point was this: Each year, to make Dreamforce as safe as possible for 50,000 attendees, we add 200 additional law enforcement professionals.”
“Dreamforce is important to San Francisco and the City bends over backward to make it a success,” Conway wrote. “But San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce.”

San Francisco does not need a invasion at all.

With the corrupt Roberts court as its backstop, the administration will probably get its way eventually. As shitty as that sounds.

So when does the National Guard go back to their own homes?

Fabulous of fabulous news…until I read that it like be sent to the Supremes. That is logical and that is scary at the same time. Perhaps protesters on Saturday will picket the Supreme Court building to make their view known. Will it help? Who knows?
