Academic Fraudster and Congressional Grifter Mikie Sherrill Also Made Unsubstantiated Conspiracy-Theory Accusations Against Fellow Congressmen, Alleging, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, That They Were Ringleaders of the J6 Nonsensurrection

This daffy, ditzy conspiracy theorist who cheats on tests and uses insider information to trade defense stocks while serving on the House Armed Services Committee -- and who may be elected NJ governor in two weeks -- accused Republican Rep. Loudermilk of being a Secret Mastermind behind The Great Unruliness of 6 January 2021, because he led a couple of tours in the Capitol Building before January 6th.

It was a dry run for the greatest threat this Republic has faced since... like two days before, if I'm being honest.

Mikie Sherrill, the Democrat nominee for New Jersey governor who is battling allegations over a military academy cheating scandal, also faced a congressional ethics complaint in 2021 for tarring a fellow lawmaker with allegations later disproven by Capitol Police.
The ethics complaint was submitted against Sherrill and a number of her Democratic colleagues after they referred for investigation Republican members of Congress to the U.S. Capitol Police and both the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms for giving private tours on Jan. 5, 2021.
The members billed the tours suspicious because they were in advance of the Jan. 6 riot.
One of the Republican members accused was Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., whose office conducted a tour of House office buildings the day before Jan. 6.
Sherrill's letter sparked a probe by the Democrat-led Jan. 6 Committee into whether Loudermilk was giving a reconnaissance tour to Jan. 6 rioters.

He told them exactly where Nancy Pelosi kept her prized coat-rack! He was in on the plot from the start!

However, the U.S. Capitol Police reviewed security footage from that day and concluded neither Loudermilk, nor his staff, nor his guests were acting suspicious at all and that the lawmaker had simply given a routine tour to constituents.
"Rep. Sherrill made false accusations, without evidence of any wrongdoing, with apparently no thought of the threats to the safety of myself, my family, and others. The truth prevailed, which it always does, and the real damage at the end of the day was to her own credibility," Loudermilk told Just the News in a statement Thursday.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, a Special Prosecutor was just appointed to investigate child-murder-fantasist Jay Jones.

The investigation isn't about him calling for the murder of state representatives, the children of state representatives, and police.

No, the investigation is about the curious case of Jay Jones speeding, doing 116 mph in fact, on a road with a posted speed limit of 70.

In Virginia, speeding by more than 40mph over the limit gets you an automatic "recklessness" upgrade to your fine, which always results in loss of license and even jail time.

But not for Jay Jones! Oh dear, not for a Democrat politician!

Jay Jones got zero jail time and also zero days of a license suspension.

Instead, he got 1000 hours of community service.

Now, that may sound like a lot of community service -- that's more than 40 full 24-hour days, according to my quick use of a desk calculator.

But Jay Jones supposedly did all 1000 hours of community service in just one year, while working full-time at his law firm and also working for his own political action committee.

Even if he spent 24 hours almost every weekend -- two 12 hour shifts in a row, Saturday then Sunday -- doing "community service," he would only just complete these hours in a year.

So how did he do it?

Simple -- they let him claim that the hours he spent working on his own self-serving political action committee counted as "community service."

And so a special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate the judge who gave him such a light non-sentence and whichever court officer approved this obviously-sham "community service."

John Sexton points out that people who drive more than 40 miles per hour over the speed limit usually have their licenses suspended or revoked, and often do jail time:

If you were caught driving 46 miles per hour over the speed limit in Virginia, would you expect to serve jail time or at least have your license suspended or driving privileges restricted? Those are the kinds of consequences many Virginia drivers have had to face but Jay Jones did not.
7News reviewed more than a dozen reckless driving cases in New Kent County, Virginia, where Jones was convicted of reckless driving in 2022, for driving 116 miles an hour.
SEE ALSO | Virginia leaders condemn Democrat AG candidate's violent text messages sent in 2022
Court records show, one man was found guilty of driving 115 mph in a 70 in New Kent County. He got 10 days in jail, his license was suspended for six months, he was fined $2,000, and once he got his license back, he could only drive to and from work.
On the same day Jones received his sentence, a Woodbridge man was sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving 115 mph in a 70-mph zone. The Prince William County man's sentence was suspended as long as he didn't speed again. The Woodbridge man's license was suspended for six months, then restricted, and he was fined $1,500.
Another man was found guilty of reckless driving for driving 104 mph in a 70-mph zone in New Kent County. That earned him 20 days in jail, a six-month license suspension, and a $1,250 fine.
Jones, a former Virginia lawmaker, got no jail time for driving 116 mph in a 70 on I-64. He paid a $1,500 fine, his driving privileges were not impacted and he got 1,000 hours of community service.
The Richmond Times Dispatch reported that Jones completed those 1,000 hours -- equal to 25 weeks of full-time work -- in just one year.

Well, easy! They credited him working at his actual jobs as doing "community service." That's the Special Justice that First-Tier connected people get.

From National Review:

The certificates signed by representatives of the NAACP and MOM PAC attest that Jones completed more than 500 hours of community service for each organization within the 2023 calendar year. In order to complete that number of hours within one year, Jones would have had to dedicate ten hours of every week to MOM PAC and ten hours to the NAACP, all while working at the law firm Hogan Lovells full time. Social media posts show Jones also traveled the state campaigning for fellow Democrats throughout that year.

Current AG, and Jones' opponent, Jason Miyares says that Jones must drop out as he is seeking the office that will decide whether or not he should go to prison or not. As clear a conflict of interest as one could imagine.

35 I don't approve of community service. You want to punish someone, you put them in jail or hit them with a rattan cane. Fines, forfeiture, or restitution should be supplementary penalties. You should be hit with labor services if you welsh on your fines, forfeiture, and restitution prescribed. Your assigned to 'labor services', you should be doing some sort of unpleasant outdoor work for the county or for a county contractor.

In 1993, I bought my first car right before Christmas. I was driving home for Christmas in Michigan from Monterey. I was on the interstate in the middle of the Nevada desert, and decided to take the car up to 100 just to see what it felt like, since there was nothing around but sagebrush. So I did. I held it there for a few seconds, then decelerated, then went up to 100 again.

Jackie Kennedy did a lot of additional renovation and "makeover" as well. She did a TV special "tour" of the WH which won an Emmy.

Congress was stingy about the furniture and historic shit with Truman, and Jackie fixed that, adding a lot of fancy, historical decor.

78 Only time I've ever seen a Lambo in the wild.
So there I was.... On I-69 coming north. It was around noon and not much traffic. I was cruising along at about 90 mph and saw a little speck in the rearview. That speck seems to be moving very fast, thinks I. And it was. Just a few seconds later that spec had transformed in to a Lamborghini that had to be doing at least 110 mph. Blew by my 90 mph like I was sitting still. Only time I ever saw anything like that was on the autobahn in Germany. My brother got his little Chrysler clown car out of the way for a Porsche, which immediately got out of the way of a Benz.
I was coming north on I-69 when I first saw a Cyber truck in the wild too. That ugly thing got in my way.

Down to about 20-21 million total now (2024-2025) including broadcast news. TV is dead essentially as the people relying on it for news are dying out as well. Average age of TV viewers for newscasts in general is 60+ and cable news is now about 70 for all the networks. Only 3.5 million of that audience total for cable and broadcast news is 25-54 prime audiences.

So broadcast and cable news affects less and less people that are not elderly.

Actually the economy does NOT suck, unless you're a useless government worker. If prices are dropping, it's because of a combination of international oil prices dropping because production is up, and the effect of 2 million illegals (and counting) who've left the country and are no longer hoovering up resources.

Lowered demand because people buy less - bad
Lowered demand because 2 million illegals leave - GOOD!

The latest research on mammoths indicates that there was a herd on Wrangel Island up until about 3,000 years ago. Still too late for Jefferson, but think about it - there were living mammoths while the pyramids were being built.

152 151 They had discovered wooly mammoth (and other of the Pleistocene megafauna fossils), but didn't know what they were. They called it the American Incognitum, and thought they might still be alive.

Jefferson gave orders to Lewis and Clark to bring a live specimen back at all costs if they encountered one.

Posted by: Kindltot

Not so enamored of his Virginian proteges. Madison was an awful president and not that good of a Sec. of State before that. (No offense TJM) Monroe was a better president on foreign affairs post Conference of Vienna but his lackadaisical attention to the spread of slavery to new states led to the Missouri crises in 1820. The importation of new slaves ceasing in 1808 should have led to moves by the federal government to prevent the spread to new territories and to gradually emancipate existing slaves.

By the time that cotton and the cotton gin got entrenched by this inattention, the stage was set for slavery to spread to new states and for the old states like VA to serve as breeding sources for the new slaves needed for virgin lands.

Big media in general is dying along with other big institutions because the gap between what they say and what they do has reached the stage of unbelievable. Same as late era Soviet Union--samizdat killed the Pravda kool aid drinkers along with reality.

Someone, sorry forgot who, wrote that Gramscians never thought of what would happen when they did their long march through institutions--like all things Commies touch, they turn to shit under Marxist thought. The long marches fatally destroyed the ability of the institutions to function to lead the masses to utopia whether they are clergy, professors, doctors, scientists, etc.

Woke Gramscian Marxist crap kills the ability to actually describe and address reality. And that in turn leads to institution failure just like Soviet Agriculture.

213 I remember being at work, a million years ago when I was young not old and creepy, walking down the hall with a woman walking 10-15ft in front of me. Nobody else there. My eyes drifted down to her butt, sway sway, and then suddenly, big swings swaaaay swaaaaaay like in slow motion and I think I entered a trance like state, when all a sudden she turned, winked, and exited down a corridor. How did she know? What did it mean? How can they have that much power? Don't know. do not know

I read that in my research where people were having issues with such dual boot system. I am single boot.

It just perplexes me that this could not be handled a bit more seamlessly and transparently, and that I have to set local RTC clock to UTC as the cleanest solution to having the Linux system reflect local time properly.

239 Slavery was replaced by sharecropping and the Klan, so "freeing" them was a dead letter for some time.
Mechanical tractors replaced that work 1915-on, such that field work wasn't as menial a job anymore. But that meant a lot of former sharecroppers had nothing to do (because the economy of the Deep South was still terrible).

265 Virginia politics seems messed up all the way down.

I met a wonderful Moron type guy from VA on a plane 7yrs ago. He and some other guys swapped seats and he was stuck with me. He announced, "I am very flatulent" prior to sitting and I told him I am from a male family of brothers and sons and doubt he would faze me.

We then proceeded to drink and have a blast across the country. My husband said I had gin fumes when he picked me up. I had been to an aunt's funeral and a complete idiot second husband of our weirdest cousin made an ass of himself. The guy loved that story and others.

He's married to a Dim woman who basically told him to vote for Hag Clintoon. He told me he voted in secret for Trump as I told him I was a Trump lady. I often think of him when I see Virginia politics and hope he is doing well.

I have a conspiracy question for y'all...some photos of the new ballroom our president is building look to dwarf the WH. My normal brain cells tell me, no way, he is simply replacing the east wing. However, the media photo I saw showed the ballroom yuge over the WH. What does anyone know? Please keep in mind I once went on a snipe hunt and believed a bird pecked me.

1. Does "Ball Room" mean there will be a collections of "Balls" on display for the public to view and fondle?

2. Does "Ball Room" suggest a verb tense where you will be free to "Ball" without having to use the private hearing rooms in the Capitol Building.

3. Does "Ball Room" refer to a ball pit open to minors who may or may not be accompanied by an adult?

There was in fact an insurrection on J6: The certification of a clearly manipulated, cheated election.
The J6 protesters, on the other hand, were the ones who cared about the peaceful transition of power, and our "democracy" (representative Republic) and were the ones trying to defend both.

The rest of the noise about "J6" was a fedsurrection, antifa false flaggers, legitimate organization by Proud Boys to antifa, and generally crap law enforcement by Pelosi.
