My Pillow guy's notes on 'martial law' captured by WaPo photographer -- as he entered the West Wing

Source: Raw Story

Controversial My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell was spotted entering the West Wing of the White House on Friday. Lindell, who has pushed the conspiracy theory about election fraud that incited the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, visited the White House hours after posting, "Keep the faith everyone! We will have our president Donald Trump 4 more years!"

C-SPAN and multiple members of the White House press corps noticed Lindell entering the West Wing.But it was Washington Post photographer Jabin Botsford who managed to capture part of the notes Lindell brought with him. While the entire width of the page is not visible, it is possible to read "...martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any..."

Lindell also appears to suggest moving former Devin Nunes aid Kash Patel to an acting role at the Central Intelligence Agency.

China and Iran also also mentioned.

New York Times reporter Kenneth Vogel wondered what part of the document had been crossed out.

Georgia secretary of state reveals Trump 'suppressed' GOP voters: 'He would have won by 10,000 votes

Source: WSB’s Justin Gray

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Tuesday said that President Donald Trump had himself to blame for losing the state’s electoral votes in the 2020 election.

Raffensperger told WSB’s Justin Gray that 24,000 Republicans who voted by absentee ballot in the primary did not cast votes in the general election.

The secretary of state linked the lack of participation to Trump’s effort to demonize mail-in voting.

“He would have won by 10 thousand votes — he actually suppressed, depressed his own voting base,” Raffensperger said.

The Republican-controlled Senate passed a resolution from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reaffirming its “commitment to the orderly and peaceful transfer of power,” after President Donald Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer if he loses the presidential election.

Manchin’s resolution read that the Senate “reaffirms its commitment to the orderly and peaceful transfer of power called for in the Constitution of the United States,” and “intends that there should be no disruptions by the President or any person in power to overturn the will of the people of the United States.”

The resolution was passed by unanimous consent in the Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday.

Houston police fatally shoot man who opened fire on motorist and officers

Source: CNN

Houston police early Wednesday fatally shot a man who opened fire on a car carrying three civilians and at a patrol vehicle, the city's police chief said.

Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo described the incident, which occurred about 4:30 a.m. in the Hyde Park section, as an active shooter situation.
The male suspect shot about four rounds at a Chevrolet Tahoe carrying three people and then fled, according to Acevedo.
Investigators believe the suspect thought the Tahoe "was a police car coming," Acevedo said.
Officers dispatched to the area heard gunshots and saw the suspect holding a silver revolver, according to the police chief.
"As they turned the corner, the suspect fired multiple rounds at those officers, striking the patrol car" carrying two officers, Acevedo said.
SWAT negotiators attempted to engage the suspect for more than 30 minutes, according to Acevedo.
At one point, the chief said, the suspect said he was "going to shoot officers and he raised his pistol."
A SWAT officer fired a single shot and struck the suspect, who was rushed to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead, Acevedo said.
No one else was injured.
There will be an internal investigation into the shooting, according to Acevedo.
