Pardoned J6 rioter says no thanks, I'm guilty

Seems an epidemiologist was shocked to find herself being cited by J Fraud Kennedy for work she did not do. “Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes speaks to CNN's Jacqueline Howard about discovering her name was included in research she never wrote.”  The interview is here https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/04/health/video/maha-report-citation-dr-katherine-keyes-digvid Apparently before correcting the report, there were seven citations for research that did not even exist. Whooopsie daisy.

And in what is likely to be the only story of its kind ever reported, one of the convicted Jan 6 rioters, has refused her pardon from TOM. “Trump will probably say, ‘That ungrateful lady, I’m going to make sure she gets back on probation and give her the worst you can give her.’ I won’t be surprised,” she said. “We were guilty, period,” Hemphill added. “The pardons just contribute to their narrative, which is all lies, propaganda.” “We all know that they’re gaslighting us. They are using January 6 to just continue Trump’s narrative that the Justice Department was weaponized. They were not. When the FBI came to my home, oh my God, they were very professional. They treated me very good.” Wow. Can we get whatever she is drinking spread over half of the country, please? It would be fascinating to learn what it was that convinced her he was all smoke and mirrors.

The CBO has produced it’s estimate of the decimation of the country that will come from the bully’ big bill. “President Donald Trump’s big bill making its way through Congress will cut taxes by $3.75 trillion but also increase deficits by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

The CBO also estimates an increase of 10.9 million people without health insurance under the bill by 2034, including 1.4 million who are in the United States without legal status in state-funded programs.”

We can’t have ethnic diversity in schools but apparently we can have “viewpoint diversity.” And to Linda WWE McMahon that means allowing people to discuss Holocaust denial. No. No. No. No. Recall this is the ignoramus who read AI as A1 – yes, A ONE, the steak sauce. Repeatedly. Not just once with a “oh. My bad.”

When being questioned as to what Harvard had to do to “toe the line” the exchange went like this. “Does refusing to hire a Holocaust denier as a member of Harvard’s history department faculty count as an ideological litmus test?” asked Takano. “I believe that there should be diversity of viewpoints relative to teachings and opinions on campuses,” McMahon said.

“Takano also pressed McMahon on whether the ordinance would compel Harvard to hire faculty that reject the results of the 2020 presidential election or the efficacy of vaccines. In response, the education secretary insisted that there “should be different viewpoints” in America’s most elite universities—even if those viewpoints are not based in any matter of science, fact, or proof. McMahon also scolded Takano for impressing a “political ideology” that she argued was a “false narrative.” She doesn’t even know what she’s talking about. As bad as Hegsloth is, he at least has a working knowledge of the military. This woman has no working knowledge of being human, it would appear.
