DOJ Says At Least 100 More People Could Be Charged Over Capitol Attack
npr.org | March 12, 2021 | Ryan LucasThe Justice Department says it expects to charge at least 100 more people in connection with the storming of the Capitol, describing the investigation into the deadly attack as one of the biggest in U.S. history.
Federal prosecutors disclosed the estimate in court papers Friday as they seek more time to gather and sift through evidence in the sprawling probe before having to move cases to trial. More than 300 people have already been charged in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob seeking to disrupt the certification of Electoral College votes.
“The investigation and prosecution of the Capitol Attack will likely be one of the largest in American history, both in terms of the number of defendants prosecuted and the nature and volume of the evidence,” federal prosecutors said in a filing Friday in a case against nine alleged members or associates of the Oath Keepers paramilitary group.
“Storming . . . deadly attack . . . biggest in U.S. history . . . assault . . . pro-Trump mob . . . Capitol Attack [capitalized!!!1!!] . . . largest in American history . . . paramilitary . . .”

I was reading FreeRepublic.com, and I came across this comment about Dr. Fauci that must have been written by a duh-Oppoganger, because it expresses my thoughts perfectly — even in the haphazard and emotional tone:
The hubris of this guy is unbelievable.
He had ONE job.
We are now learning that he funded the research that created the same virus in an unsafe lab in Wuhan.
We know he dismissed it because his “colleagues” in China and the WHO told him there was nothing to worry about.
He was against the travel ban by Trump much to the glee of the left before he admitted it was a good move.
He was against masks, dismissing their efficiency, before he was for masks. Now he is for two masks.
He told us we needed to lock down to allow hospitals to gear up for lots of patients. A couple of weeks turned into many months and its still going in some places.
He told us kids had little risks from the virus, but he approved of total lockdown to include schools and kids.
The list goes on and on and there are many more eggs that he laid as the “Scold in Chief”.
So let’s summarize….. he funded it, his “colleagues” unleashed it, he dismissed it when it counted, and he became the Lockdown Czar and a media celebrity as the ultimate foil to Trump. He told us to “follow the science” and just admitted that when the science was not clear (i.e. – it did not fit the agenda) he would go with his “gut”.
This man is the highest paid federal employee in the country and it now appears he was complicit in the research that created this virus in a lab he accepted as “safe” because the CCP and corrupt WHO were his “colleagues.” Peter Navarro was the one who pulled the fire alarm….. not the guy we paid for decades to do so.
Saint Fauci has been a failure. I can’t sugarcoat it. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when this first began, but he has been all over the map with this thing from the beginning and was indirectly complicit in funding what has costs our nation dearly. His muddled message and “one size fits all” plan cost us many lives, an election, and many trillions of dollars in wealth and productivity.
You know there are some days when reporters just love coming to work.
Florida Woman Attacks Her Roommate for Playing the Same Song Over and Over
Radio.com | 3/4/2021A 53-year-old Florida woman named Mary Ann has lived with her cousin in Clearwater for the last five years. And earlier this week, she lost it when the cousin wouldn’t stop blasting the same song over and over again on a loop.
It happened around 12:15 in the morning on Tuesday. And the song she freaked out over was . . . Chic’s 1978 disco hit, “Le Freak.” (It’s the one where they sing “freak out” over and over.)
Mary Ann shoved her 64-year-old cousin into a makeshift tiki bar they’d set up, and it collapsed.
Her cousin fell through the bar . . . landed face-first on a speaker . . . and ended up with a black eye.
Cops arrested Mary Ann for domestic battery, and she’s not allowed to have any contact with the cousin for now.
Do you have something you’d like to share? A link? A joke? Some words of wisdom? A topic to discuss? It’s our nightly Open Thread, and you have the floor.
Once you have passed through the makeshift tiki bar, that is.
20-Foot ‘Ice Volcano’ Erupts in Western New York
Adriana Navarro | AccuWeather

No sex jokes, please
Freezing temperatures have helped transform a New York fountain from the 1800s into a 20-foot “ice volcano.”
Outside of the Glen Iris Inn in Castile, New York, a cone of ice sprays water up to some 50 feet in the air, giving off the appearance of an icy volcano.
This is not an unusual sight for the Glenn Iris Fountain, however, and even the 20-foot height it has reached this winter is not the tallest it can grow.
In fact, it gained national attention in 2015, drawing tourists to its location in Letchworth State Park when it reached its full height of 50 feet.
