U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) announced on Sunday he, his wife, and son all have contracted the coronavirus and tested positive for COVID-19. This is the second time he and his wife, Higgins claims, have had COVID. Like about half of the House GOP caucus, Higgins refuses to reveal his vaccination status.

"I have COVID, Becca has COVID, my son has COVID," Higgins declared in a Facebook post Sunday. "Becca" is Higgins' fourth wife.

"I keep my family's private business very quiet, because of the evil in the world, yet we are uplifted by the love of God's children, and quiet privacy does not mean secrecy, so, here's the update," Higgins wrote.

"Becca and I had COVID before, early on, in January 2020, before the world really knew what it was. So, this is our second experience with the CCP biological attack weaponized virus," he said, baselessly, promoting a right wing conspiracy theory, "and this episode is far more challenging. It has required all of my devoted energy."

Higgins may be best known for for shooting a selfie political video inside the Auschwitz gas chamber.

In May Higgins and other Republicans announced they would no longer wear a mask while in the House, because, as one said, “We're just tired of it."

In March Higgins – who once appeared to have threatened a retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice – railed against gun control legislation because, he said, murder is in the Bible.

And last year Higgins threatened to shoot Black armed protestors.

Yep, which is kind of okay with an asterisk. People don't realize how kindness and courtesy is the strength behind the constitution and freedom in general. They think it's a weakness, like that idiot's over-the-top-cartoonishly-masculine-hate-post for example, but they're 180 off. It's annoying because they think they want more freedom because they think they're good people and don't need any laws, which would be true if they were decent, but states get rid of open carry because of assholes like this. We lost open carry of long guns in California...somewhere in the 2000's maybe? And it was exactly because of people like this, that wanted to put their guns in your face just because they can, until they can't.

Now there is nothing wrong with his attitude and it will be easy to accommodate him. But first, any that do not feel that way must leave Louisiana and afterward no people go in or out of the borders. We can set up meeting areas where family can talk to each other through a piece of plate glass.

Have a nice day.

Wait until you see the wingnuts and psychos the base will vomit up for 2022, hopefully some will be too crazy to be elected, but in some red places they can't be crazy, corrupt, or stupid enough. It might change if Donald goes away to prison, even getting indicted or having his company go under can hurt him, but it's the party that's the problem now, with or without Trump. Hopefully Donald will turn on the establishment republicans for insufficient loyalty when NY sends him to prison and his hardcore base stay home in 2022. He can't be federally pardoned where he's going and it's the best place for him, even if the republicans were to win, in 2024, they couldn't, or more likely wouldn't spring Donald from NY.

"The storm" is a term that the far-right conspiracy theorists of QAnon are fond of using, and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy used that term during a July 29 press conference when he was criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's support of a mask mandate for the U.S. House of Representatives.

The mandate came from Capitol physician Brian Monahan, and Pelosi has said that she will "honor it." But McCarthy, obviously pandering to anti-masker extremists and coronavirus deniers in the MAGA movement, is vehemently opposed to the mandate. Monahan is calling for the House mask mandate in response to the COVID-19 surge that has been attacking the United States, especially in red states with low vaccination rates.

McCarthy, during his July 29 speech, was standing near Rep. Elise Stefanik — who chairs the House Republican Conference — when he said, "If you are vaccinated and you get the variant, there's .003% you'd go to the hospital. There's a greater chance you'd get hit by lighting. For some reason, Pelosi thinks the storm is coming."

The fact that McCarthy used a QAnon term was not lost on Vox's Aaron Rupar, who tweeted:

Pelosi expressed her frustration with McCarthy's anti-masker viewswhen, on July 28, she told reporters, "He's such a moron."

Researchers identify key QAnon influencer 'GhostEzra'
In a new report released Friday, the researchers identified the person behind “GhostEzra” as Robert Smart of Boca Raton, Fla.

GhostEzra has recently emerged as one of the most influential figures in far right online spaces, amassing well over 300,000 Telegram channel subscribers since the beginning of the year.

The channel frequently spars with other QAnon influencers, something that has distinguished it from the other voices trying to fill the void left when the shadowy figure Q stopped posting on image boards last fall.

“Like with all movements, you are going to see factionalism once the main 'leader' goes away, and the fault lines of this factionalism usually have to do with ‘purity’,” Amarnath Amarasingam, assistant professor in the school of religion at Queen’s University, said in the report. “[GhostEzra] routinely criticizes other influencers as basically sellouts, as not true to the heart of the movement.”

GhostEzra has used his platform to spread antisemitic conspiracy theories that Jewish people control the media and banking as well as outright neo-Nazi propaganda.

The account also shares unsubstantiated theories about President Biden being dead, the 2020 election and coronavirus.

Researchers identified Smart as the individual behind GhostEzra using images taken from Telegram that led to Google and Yelp review accounts and in turn an email address.

Smart appears to have previously run at least four QAnon Twitter accounts, and was reported to have attended a Donald Trump Jr. speaking event in Oct. 2020.

https://www.rawstory.com/capitol-rioter-admits-he-violated-release-terms-by-watching-mike-lindell-s-cyber-symposium/Screen Shot 2021-08-23 at 1.35.28 PM.png
A man arrested and charged for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is arguing to a judge that his consumption of right-wing online content should be treated like a drug addiction, Law&Crime reports.

Douglas Jensen of Iowa made headlines in July when a judge released him to home incarceration after citing his lack of understanding regarding the U.S. government -- because when he was at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, he apparently thought he was at the White House.

But another condition the judge imposed for Jensen's release was that he would not be allowed to access the internet. Jensen violated that condition within 30 days of being released from jail. On Aug. 13, Jensen was found by a pretrial services officer to be watching a far-right video.

"When confronted about this obvious violation of his release conditions, defendant provided his Pretrial Services Officer with one excuse after another," Assistant U.S. Attorney Hava Arin Levenson Mirell claimed in a motion to revoke pre-trial release. "First, he claimed that the phone belonged to his daughter. Jensen's daughter, however, later told Pretrial Services that she had gotten a new phone almost three weeks ago. Then, Jensen claimed that his wife – the same individual who swore, under oath, to notify the Court immediately if Jensen violates a condition of release – facilitated his violation by leaving the news on for him when she left for work in the morning. Finally, Jensen claimed not to know the password to the iPhone, only to later enter the password for his Pretrial Services Officer."

This Sunday, Jensen admitted that he was watching a livestream of Mike Lindell's "cyber symposium" that claimed to show proof that the 2020 election was rigged.

"Mr. Jensen concedes that he was in violation of his pre-trial release conditions by accessing program(s) being streamed from the internet," the response motion from attorney Christopher M. Davis read. "Though his wife may have been less than clear on the distinction between 'direct versus indirect' access to the internet, Mr. Jensen knew that this was not allowed and is prepared to accept the consequences of his actions."

"Jensen had been working in the yard that week, cutting down a large tree" and that such work "was exceptionally hot." Afterward, the motion noted, "he would go into the garage to cool down" and "listen to the radio."

"Mr. Jensen asks this Court to give him another chance," the filing concluded. "He will comply with his release condition to be evaluated and will further comply with any recommended mental health treatment plan. He asks this Court to consider imposing a sanction short of revocation and incarceration pending trial. If a drug abuser relapses, there is typically a sanction protocol in place to help the person deal with his/her substance abuse issues. Mr. Jensen requests that this Honorable Court treat his violation is a similar manner."

Sidney Powell. Actually, a waste, but I thought I'd post it, anyway. Keep in mind, this person has a defense that is "no reasonable person would believe that her allegations about voting fraud were statements of fact." She must love the taste of shoe leather, she sticks her foot in her mouth so often. Dig that hole deeper, girlfriend.
