Oh No! GOP Lawmakers Push for Perjury Charges Against Madison Cornbread for Fabricated J6 Testimony
They're so sad they try to hide Madison Cornbread's identity by calling her by her criminal alias "Cassidy Hutchinson."Republicans on Capitol Hill are asking the Justice Department to consider bringing criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide in President Donald Trump's first administration who became a star congressional witness about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, according to two sources familiar with recent developments. GOP Rep. Barry Loudermilk made a criminal referral of Hutchinson to the Justice Department in recent days, the sources said. He accused Hutchinson of lying to Congress in her summer 2022 testimony when she alleged Trump was aware of the potential for violence on January 6, 2021, and forged ahead with his attempts to rile up his supporters. Loudermilk has long attempted to reframe the public perception of the events at the Capitol, including by scrutinizing the House committee that investigated the Capitol riot and found Trump was "directly responsible" for the riot. Loudermilk's referral was co-signed by House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, who chairs the committee under which Loudermilk is running a probe of January 6. The Justice Department's press office didn't respond to inquiries about the referral. Both current and former lawyers for Hutchinson didn't respond to multiple inquiries this week from CNN. CNN has reached out to Loudermilk for comment. It's not uncommon for Congress to make criminal referrals regarding witnesses that have come before it previously, especially in heavily charged political situations, and referrals don't necessarily lead to charges. A referral at times could add to a criminal investigation or prompt one. They are often treated by the Justice Department as suggestions. A referral and possible Justice Department action against Hutchinson could refocus attention on a fraught aspect of the work years ago of the House Select Committee and prosecutors. It also comes a time when the Trump administration has pursued politically charged criminal cases against former government figures whom Trump considers opponents.LOL. Oh, Trump is pushing criminal charges against the criminals who pushed criminal charges against him for four years. What a monster. I mean, it's not even a close call that she repeatedly lied to Congress. Look at this easily-disproved lie that she personally, in her own hand, wrote a key note jotted down during J6. The note is important because it shows that Trump's people were drafting a tweet that anyone in the Capitol not authorized to be there should leave. The J6 kangaroo court rigged the show-trial to prove that Trump really wanted an "insurrection," so they insisted this was not written by a Trump aid recording his thoughts, but by Madison Cornbread. In the below exhibit, the the note in question. It is clearly from a masculine hand. Writing in all-caps block letters is the biggest giveaway that a man is writing. I personally only barely remember how to form lower-case letters. I never use them, except in my signature.
A House panel reviewing the work of the illegally established and since disbanded Select Committee on Jan. 6 released testimony previously concealed by lawmakers for contradicting the committee's star witness. On Thursday, the Washington Times reported the House Administration's subcommittee on Oversight released the transcripts of a Secret Service driver for President Donald Trump who pushed back on claims Trump tried to violently hijack a presidential vehicle to riot at the Capitol. "I did not see him reach. He never grabbed the steering wheel," the driver told then-Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney during an interview. "I didn't see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all." The agent's testimony flew directly in opposition to what lawmakers were told by Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide who worked for Trump's final first-term chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Hutchinson sensationalized the televised show trials of the Jan. 6 Committee when she claimed an "irate" president assaulted Secret Service agents to try to drive himself to Capitol Hill. "The president said something to the effect of 'I'm the f'ing president, take me up to the Capitol now,'" Hutchinson publicly testified in the summer of 2022. "The president reached up towards the front of the vehicle to grab at the steering wheel," she added, but he was stopped by the head of his security detail.
Ace is saying something to the effect of, "Imprison this nasty-cooched swamp hag."

Anyone can be accused of anything, even outrageous things that could have never happened by witnesses that are obvious liars, and yet some will believe those accusations. It reflects more on the personality and character of the accusers than it does the people that they accuse.
And it is why we have twelve people on a jury that require a unanimous verdict for guilty.

although this is true, I need to point out that different countries have handwriting styles, and in Colombia there are (were now I suppose) two styles taught to school children. One is a cursive that is based on the Spanish "gothic" hand, which is sort of like Spencer and sort of like Fraktur, and the other which is a block, upper case handwriting that has such entertaining elements as the A is a delta, and the ñ is written with a straight line across for the tilde. The second style was used in "official" annotations written by hand, where clarity was considered more important that style.
However, missing any Colombian connection with this affair, I agree with ace' conclusions.

Apparently the FBI has been using a special classification for documents that were never intended to be made public and to avoid FOIA seraches called "prohibited access" and it's been going on as far back as the Nixon administration.

But aside from/after that. wow. Just a non-stop cavalcade of bad or ridiculous calls and pathetic excuse-making for his beloved and largely failed system. Think he defended the ridiculous lynch job of VP Cheney's aid in the ridiculous affair of the non-secret ditz CIA wife of the buffoonish former ambassador and his comical op-ed on Iraqi yellow cake machinations. His buddy was the prosecutor.
Of course he steadfastly refused to believe (or pretended so) that the DOJ/FBI had become a rampaging Vishinsky-like operation to destroy Trump and all who dared consort with him. Even as the evidence piled higher and higher. Pathetic.

Pretty much. When I was a lad, everyone in my grade was expected to bring a fountain or cartridge pen to school. Being a parochial school, conformity was the rule; so when I demonstrated my prowess at writing with the left-hand, the Sisters huddled like refs after a penalty call in a playoff game. After some discussion, it was determined that I could continue with my sinister writing career.

I still write cursive regularly, because it’s faster when taking notes. But it’s not often enough to remember all of the capitals, because some of them are very rare. I’m always forgetting exactly how to do Q and one or two others I don’t remember offhand.
That said, it comes back easily if I do a search on the letter and see it again.

I did college in block letters, though I admit to keep up with the lectures I developed a lot of contractions -- "FR" meant both 'for' and 'from', for example -- and it was a bit unreadable by other people. That contraction is both a unique text block and the meaning is determined by context.

Reportedly 50 planes dropped 100 bombs on a leadership bunker in Tehran, with intel that some (remaining) big-wig, er, big-turban, was present. In Beirut when they sent Nasrallah to his reward reportedly 80 bombs were used.
Go big, then go home (and bomb targets in Lebanon on the way, in some cases).

That, and signing acknowledgements at the doctor’s office, and probably one or two other things, and I begin to wonder how useful a signature is, given that the final signature bears no apparent resemblance to the first signature.

Ballpoints can be wielded like a crayon, but if you have a pen with a nib or use a delicate quill, you have to take that into consideration. You can also write like you are trying to gouge the letters into a block of wood
Mom taught and had a gorgeous Palmer hand, I learned it after she died, mostly because she hated my handwriting.
I got steel nibs, fountain pens and I have worked at cutting quills, and they all require a different handwriting than a ballpoint pen.
The thing I find fascinating now is Roman handwriting. They are digging up wooden "note boards" in Northern Scotland in the Vindolanda fort, and other places, and the handwriting is fascinating, it probably will be my next bit of obsession.

“To simplify it, I would put it this way.”
“I don’t think it’s right to say that President Trump has started a war with Iran.”
“I think President Trump wants to finish a war that Iran started in 1979, 47 years ago.”
Then he shared a story from inside Iran:
“These aren’t just words. Let me tell you an anecdote.”
“In 2003, 2004 when I was there in Iran, working on projects at a very high level, I was talking with deputy ministers…going back and forth.”
“I was in the foreign ministry in Tehran where I met someone very senior who was semi-sympathetic to the projects we were doing.”
“But as I was leaving, he looked me in the eye and said, as an Iranian-American I want you to listen very carefully.”
“He said we in this building…meaning the foreign ministry, meaning the government, meaning the regime…”
“He said we believe we are at war with the United States.”
“He said at that time it’s a cold war, but it’s a war nonetheless.”

Al Jazeera and Breitbart as sources.
BREAKING: Indian authorities say that they gave shelter to 183 sailors on Iranian ship IRIS Lavan after the vessel reached out in distress on February 28, the day the US and Israel began their ongoing war on Iran.
The IRIS Bushehr, an Iranian Navy fleet supply ship, was interned by Sri Lanka after its captain surrendered the vessel to Sri Lankan authorities amid heightened hostilities. Sri Lanka took custody of the 1970s-era vessel within its territorial waters, removed 208 crew members, and will hold the ship at Trincomalee for the duration of the conflict.

The soviets set up listening posts to record Selectric typewriters as they made tiny vibrations against windows, and used the minute time lags to determine which letters were being typed, since the ball had a specific rate of turn to punch each letter. If I recall, there were three letters vertically, so the ball had to turn as well as incline, depending upon the key that was pressed.

The first really good printer I had was a daisywheel. I was amazed at the quality over dot matrix, and the ability to quickly change fonts.
I was also amazed at the durability. They looked incredibly flimsy, but I printed a crapload on that printer and even the wheel I used by default never broke. Not even the period that was used for graphics.

Speaking of signatures...
A petition to require voter ID and allow only U.S. citizens to vote has gained momentum in California and surpassed the required 875,000-signature threshold to qualify for the November ballot, the group leading the effort said.
According to Reform California, a nonpartisan political activism group, organizers submitted the "California Voter ID Initiative" petition to county authorities with 1.3 million signatures. The group says the petition has garnered bipartisan support, with signatures from Californians representing all walks of life and political persuasions across all 58 of the state’s counties.

Self-checkout has gotten faster at one of the two grocery stores I frequent most; they seem to have learned over time. When I put my own cloth shopping bags on the scale (they’re more durable than plastic or paper, and I thrive on microbes), it no longer requires a cashier to come over.
The other grocery store’s scan-as-you-go self checkout still, after at least five years, tells me to be sure to take my receipt, despite the machine never having had a printer.
And the scan-as-you-go supermarket I use where my dad lives always has to have a cashier make sure I’m not stealing anything from them for two or three visits before it trusts me, probably because they haven’t programmed it to recognize that I’m only there around Thanksgiving, Spring, and a specific weekend each in August and September.

Abusers, especially narcissistic ones, use a form of operant conditioning on their victims. They give "rewards", almost treat like, and keep them coming back by withholding and giving them out in an unpredictable manner. Think of it almost as gambling addiction but the victim doesn't even know they are in a game. I think the proper term is called Variable Ratio Reinforcement. Or Intermittent Reinforcement. And unfortunately it works very very well. It's a total mindfuck.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the current war had to happen because immediately after the last strike, Iran started digging even deeper bunkers for their nuclear program.
In an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu said, “The reason that we had to act now is because after we hit their nuclear sites and their ballistic missile program [in June 2025]… they started building new sites… underground bunkers that would make their ballistic missile program and their atomic bomb program immune within months.”
“If no action was taken now, no action could be taken in the future,” he said.

I expect one of the reasons my handwriting is so bad is that (a) our Catholic school (first to eighth grade) bundled two classes into each room. Some subjects were taught to the entire room; others were taught to one side or the other.
And (b) cursive was taught in second grade. I was so fascinated by it that I rushed through whatever work they had us first-graders doing in order to follow along when cursive was taught on the other side.

You can watch the Dugin speech at Paideuma.TV@PaideumaTV. Speech is about 30 minutes long. I had it summarized by Grok.
Basically, Dugin is bewailing the fact that a lot of disruptive proxies are being taken off the board by US and/or Israel recently. Hezbollah, Houthis, Venezuela, and now Iran. Makes arguments for multipolarity which Dugin wants less achievable and Dugin argues that it will result in future wars like India v. China, etc.
Those proxies that create situations via terrorism, etc. are what Dugin thinks prevents great powers form conflict.

His initial counter was in how he handled the Epstein matter. They had cornered him with it and were going to use it to split the party down the middle. But he responded in a way they predicted he never would - basically creating a split of his own on his terms instead of theirs. Separating out a small amount of "crazies" on his own side instead of letting them make his people duke it out. And it worked.

Cursive is also very helpful for those with dyslexia. Well, dysgraphia really. Having all the letters connect and flow *really* cuts down on the chances of getting them switched or backwards.

Politico Magazine, ‘I Stepped Down Because I Saw Where This Was Heading’
Former White House comms director Alyssa Farah talks about the violence at the Capitol, whether she would support her former boss in 2024 and where the party goes from here. 01/07/21
Cheney began communicating with Hutchinson in April 2022.
Hutchinson reached out to Farah Griffin following Hutchinson’s second transcribed interview. Farah Griffin and Hutchinson knew each other from their time working together in the White House. Farah Griffin was one of the first former Trump administration officials to publicly criticize Trump in January 2021, and was publicly working with the Select Committee on its investigation.

CHA House gov -
In part, When Hutchinson reached out to Farah Griffin, she invited Hutchinson over to her Georgetown townhome to talk on April 26, 2022. That evening, Hutchinson told Farah Griffin she had more information she could provide to the Select Committee, according to statements by both Hutchinson and Farah Griffin. During their conversation, Farah Griffin agreed to “[contact] Liz Cheney on [Hutchinson’s] behalf about scheduling another interview.”

Yeah, I don’t think Paxton’s promise has any hope of being called in. If by some miracle it is, I think we could reasonably assume that its success is due entirely to Paxton “agreeing” with President Trump.

Sure, you can build your bomb factories deep, deep underground. A thousand meters? No problem. Even a direct hit with a nuke wouldn't destroy it. But how do you get raw materials, workers, and finished product in and out of that sucker? Deep underground lairs need entrances and exits. Destroy those, and "deep underground lair" becomes "deep underground tomb".

Once I started using cursive I had *much* less problem with getting letters mixed up or backwards. Math on the other hand has always been a nightmare because of constantly doing both with the numbers. Unfortunately, typing has started to become a problem beyond the standard "teh" that happens to everyone.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 06, 2026 01:05 PM (8zz6B)
Tools dictate the product, and tools carry their own preconceptions and limitations of what the job is.
A ballpoint or mechanical pencil can be wielded like a crayon, where most other writing tools of the West are restricted to broad down strokes, and lighter coasting up and circular strokes. With a rigid nib you can make block prints, but most writing tools are flexible to give a faster flow. Spencerian hand was developed for a steel nib, before that there were other hands that were for feather quill points, Palmer was developed along with the development of the fountain pen.
There is also the cultural approach to what is in style.
However, the first printing press letters were developed around the Carolingian hand which were developed as a highly legible handwriting style for Charlamagne's court

'Cassidy Hutchinson, former Trump White House staffer, speaks at CMU'
Hutchinson was originally slated to work for Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida after his presidency ended. She said she hoped to take the job so she could attempt to keep Trump “in reality.” However, Hutchinson said the job was rescinded because of a perceived lack of loyalty. She also spoke about all the times Trump continued to insist he won the 2020 election and how the West Wing in the final few months of his presidency was a mix of people looking for a way to install him for a second term and people trying to get Trump to tone down his rhetoric.

There are also elements of Learned Helplessness on the victim's side, as well as the fact that abuse need both sides to be participants, even if they are just victim and abuser, and the victim side winds up feeling degraded and complicit in allowing the abuse EVEN IF THE VICTIM HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS OR ESCAPE.
I had to put that in bold so people might read it
Part of escaping the cycle is understanding the cause of the feelings of degradation and self hate is to find a way to forgive oneself for being a victim.
Of course another big part is running the fick away, too.

The massive 50 plane hit today on the Khameini bunker system in central Teheran used the fact they could loiter and bomb at will. Using smart bunker busters, they simply kept rat a tat tating by repeated bombings until they got to the level of the bunkers and their exits. As you say, the bunkers can become tombs especially like for the Hezbollah leader that got killed last year. Poisonous gases from the explosions seep downward into the crevices and can poison you if no air ventilation exists. Those are often heavier than air and thus gravity sends them downwards.
I think quite a few more Iranian regime leaders met their Maker today.
