Capitol Police claim Jan. 6 emails and videos are not public records; assert 'sovereign immunity' to Judicial Watch suit - TheBlaze

Capitol Police claim Jan. 6 emails and videos are not public records; assert 'sovereign immunity' to Judicial Watch suit - TheBlaze: 

In court documents filed to counter USCP's request to block the lawsuit, Judicial Watch argues court precedent upholds the right of the people to know what "their government is up to."

“In ‘the courts of this country’— including the federal courts—the common law bestows upon the public a right of access to public records and documents ... the Supreme Court was unequivocal in stating that there is a federal common law right of access ‘to inspect and copy public records and documents.’ ... [T]he general rule is that all three branches of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, are subject to the common law right,” Judicial Watch wrote.

Pelosi Congress Claims Sovereign Immunity in Federal Court to Keep Secret January 6 Videos and Emails | Judicial Watch
"...Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act. 

Judicial Watch, therefore, brought its lawsuit under the common law right of access to public records. 
...“The Pelosi Congress (and its police department) is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. 

“The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress that is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi rump January 6 committee.”
In November 2021, Judicial Watch revealed multiple audio, visual and photo records from the DC Metropolitan Police Department about the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol Building. 

• The records include a cell phone video of the shooting and 
• an audio of a brief police interview of the shooter, Lt. Michael Byrd. 
• In October, Judicial Watch released records, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon in Babbitt’s hand before Byrd shot her, and that 
• Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. 
• One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt...Read all.

Like New Orleans/Katrina, the money was there. They simply stole it for other (mostly union) stuff!-----Pittsburgh bridge collapse highlights how governments put off infrastructure repairs and maintenance - Reason Foundation

Pittsburgh bridge collapse highlights how governments put off infrastructure repairs and maintenance Consistently deferring repairs and maintenance can lead to disaster.
"On Friday, the Fern Hollow Bridge owned by the city of Pittsburgh collapsed...

...Records from the inventory show that the bridge was consistently found to be in poor shape during inspections from 2011 to 2017, with estimated repairs at $1.5 million.

...The city of Pittsburgh has a $613 million annual budget, but about $500 million of that goes towards personnel and benefits. 

Pittsburgh only budgets about $82 million a year for engineering and construction for all the city’s roadway, transit, flood control, streetlight, fencing, and bridge projects.

...Rather, the problem is the way the city spends so much of its annual budget on other things and chooses to spend so little of its money maintaining its roads and bridges. 

The city has known its deficient bridges were a problem but has not prioritized fixing them...Read all.

Saskatchewan Premier Says 'Time to Look at Ending' Virus Restrictions

Saskatchewan Premier Says 'Time to Look at Ending' Virus Restrictions: 

Moe asserted that people now better understand the virus and how to treat it than they did two years ago at the outset of the pandemic … when the government said that restrictive measures would last two weeks.

“They understand what they need to do. They understand the risk and they are prepared to live with that risk, more than they are prepared to live with the ongoing government intrusion into their lives,” he said.

“Remember when this first started so very long ago? Government measures were supposed to last, I think, two weeks. Well, it’s been two years,” he added.

The Biden/China/OpenBorders Connection is Killing Americans!!-----AG Schmidt: Kansas sees large spikes in fentanyl seizures, drug overdoses | Kansas | thecentersquare.com

AG Schmidt: Kansas sees large spikes in fentanyl seizures, drug overdoses | Kansas | thecentersquare.com
"(The Center Square) – Record amounts of fentanyl and other drugs are being seized in Kansas after they’ve made their way north from Mexico and the state's attorney general, Derek Schmidt, said he is trying to stop it. 

He joined a coalition of other Republican attorneys general at the Texas-Mexico border to see first-hand how the Biden administration’s open border policies are contributing to crime in Kansas.
In one briefing with the Texas Department of Public Safety, the AGs learned that Texas state troopers alone had seized enough fentanyl last year to kill over 200 million people. 

...The synthetic opioid is primarily manufactured in Mexico after cartels receive precursors of the drug shipped from China. 
...Illicit fentanyl is more than 100 times stronger than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin.

‘Someone Opened The Doors From The Inside,’ Jan. 6 Defense Attorney Says
"...The two sets of historic doors that lead into the Rotunda were opened by someone on the inside and not his client, according to defense attorney Jonathon Moseley.
...“The outer doors cast from solid bronze would require a bazooka, an artillery shell, or C4 military-grade explosives to breach,” Moseley wrote in a letter to federal prosecutors. 

“That of course did not happen. You would sooner break into a bank vault than to break the bronze outer Columbus Doors.”
The 20,000-pound Columbus Doors that lead into the Rotunda on the east side of the U.S. Capitol are secured by magnetic locks that can only be opened from the inside by using a security code controlled by Capitol Police, Moseley wrote in an eight-page memo...Read all.

Don't Blame 'Greedy Corporations' for Inflation. Blame the Government.

Don't Blame 'Greedy Corporations' for Inflation. Blame the Government.

• "Greed is constant. If it's greed, how do we explain prices falling?"

"Inflation is the worst in 40 years.
The price of cars is up 37 percent. 

Gas is up 49 percent.

• During the last few years, as politicians spent ever more money, experts told us not to worry. Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, said inflation would be "transitory."
• Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, "I don't anticipate inflation is going to be a problem."
• "Big corporations have taken advantage," says Rep. Ted Lieu (D–Calif.).
• Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) tweeted: "Greedy corporations are charging Americans extra." It's "price gouging."

This is nonsense.
"Greed is constant," says economist David Henderson in my new video. "If it's greed, how do we explain prices falling?" When oil prices fall, is it because "oil companies just suddenly decide, 'I'm gonna be less greedy?'"
Prices change because of supply and demand.
Inflation results "from too much money chasing too few goods," explains Henderson. 

"If government's spending more money, that's more money chasing too few goods."
