Do all Republicans lie and distort? As a Jewish person, I’m absolutely sickened by the comparison of Fauci to Mengele. These racist anti-Semitic low life ignorant Republicans are just pure unadulterated scum, f-ing scum.

Ironically, in the hearing he also claimed (not joking here) that the fbi confiscated his car, gold, and silver.

Not sure how to account for how much gold they took, but I’m pretty sure I know how much silver he had…

Josephine Baker becomes first Black woman honored at Paris’ Panthéon

The historic memorial site will pay tribute to the mark Baker and her legacy left on the French and Black communities.

Baker, who died in 1975, began her career as a jazz performer. When she moved to France in 1925, she continued to showcase her Black heritage through her performances as she became immersed in French culture. As the second World War gained traction across Europe, Baker, who became a French citizen in 1937, lent her services to the French government, acting as a spy and bringing other counterintelligence officers into her act. According to the French Defense Ministry, her clandestine service continued through the war, when she refused to perform for Nazis who occupied France.

Trump called aides hours before Capitol riot to discuss how to stop Biden victory (msn.com)

The former president first told the lieutenants his vice-president, Mike Pence, was reluctant to go along with the plan to commandeer his largely ceremonial role at the joint session of Congress in a way that would allow Trump to retain the presidency for a second term.

But as Trump relayed to them the situation with Pence, he pressed his lieutenants about how to stop Biden’s certification from taking place on 6 January, and delay the certification process to get alternate slates of electors for Trump sent to Congress.

with the lieutenants at the Willard – a team led by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn and Trump strategist Steve Bannon

Lara Logan sure has gone off the deep end. I remember the days when she was a relatively decent 60 Minutes journalist until she got caught fabricating an entire story. That pretty much ended her career as a respected journalist and started her career as a Fox journalist. A natural progression I’m thinking.
