The only thing I know about country music is that if you play a country music song backwards, your girl comes back, and your dog comes back, and you get your job and your house back, and so forth.

Love can make you do strange things, and one time a beautiful young lady had me taking two-step dance lessons. That didn't end well. Never really learned the dance, and she left me for another guy. And I never did figure out how to play that song backwards. Boo hoo. :lol:
Well, I think Merle should be required listening for anyone, along with Vivaldi, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, and Fela Kuti. I'm just saying, you know.

F.B.I. Finds Contact Between Proud Boys Member and Trump Associate Before Riot
A leader of the far-right group separately said he had been in touch with Roger Stone, but an official said it was not the same contact investigators found through electronic communications records.


https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/05/us/p ... -riot.html
A member of the far-right nationalist Proud Boys was in communication with a person associated with the White House in the days just before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

Location, cellular and call record data revealed a call tying a Proud Boys member to the Trump White House, the official said. The F.B.I. has not determined what they discussed, and the official would not reveal the names of either party.

The connection revealed by the communications data comes as the F.B.I. intensifies its investigation of contacts among far-right extremists, Trump White House associates and conservative members of Congress in the days before the attack.

The same data has revealed no evidence of communications between the rioters and members of Congress during the deadly attack, the official said. That undercuts Democratic allegations that some Republican lawmakers were active participants that day.

I knew it! I didn't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, so I've mentioned this only once or twice.

It's correct that we don't know the contents of the discussion. But WTF is a WH staffer doing talking to a Proud Boy member just before the insurrection? The Proud Boys were likely the largest organized group at the insurrection.

It's the day BEFORE the attack that interests me. There is a report that the surveillance cameras are being reviewed.

At least I'm familiar with Vivaldi. And I'm 85% certain that the Grateful Dead is that band with the psychedelic teddy bears.

Review of Jan 6 Riot Urges More Police, Mobile Fencing

https://www.npr.org/2021/03/08/97399136 ... rm=nprnews
The Jan. 6 insurrection exposed major Capitol security failures, and a review by a task force led by retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré is urging Congress to revamp its security apparatus by adding hundreds of new police officers, creating a quick reaction force and installing a new fencing system.

Honoré and other members of the task force will host three bipartisan briefing sessions for lawmakers on Monday at the Capitol to discuss their findings and draft recommendations.

The six-week review, which ran through Friday, also highlighted the vast shortfalls that faced Capitol Police during the siege. Officers were understaffed and under-resourced, left without earpieces or riot gear in many cases as they fought the Capitol attackers, the report said.

The report also highlighted that the force is not equipped to track intelligence at the scale of attack seen on Jan. 6, the report said.

Small, small, sign of progress...
1 Capitol fence is GONE... 61 days after the #CapitolRiot.

3rd Street by the Capitol Reflecting Pool is now open to cars, bikes, and people.

12-ft-tall barrier at the end of the National Mall is no more
