An undated social media selfie photo shows Ashley Babbitt, also spelt Ashli. (Ashli Babbitt/Twitter)MORE US NEWS No Charges Against Officer Who Shot Ashli Babbitt: DOJ Lawyer for Babbitt's family calls decision 'baffling' BY ZACHARY STIEBER April 14, 2021
The U.S. Capitol Police officer who shot dead an Air Force veteran during the tumultuous events on Jan. 6 will not be charged, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division decided jointly not to pursue charges against the officer.
The decision came after a “thorough investigation” into the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old who joined others in storming the U.S. Capitol in Washington during a joint session of Congress in January. Babbitt was shot while trying to climb through a broken window into the Speaker’s Lobby, adjacent to the House chamber.
“Officials examined video footage posted on social media, statements from the officer involved and other officers and witnesses to the events, physical evidence from the scene of the shooting, and the results of an autopsy,” the DOJ said in a statement.
“Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution.”
The officer remains unidentified in the public sphere. A lawyer representing him did not return a voicemail or an email.

Terrell Roberts, an attorney for the family, told The Epoch Times that the decision was “baffling.”
“I find it to be baffling given the circumstances that it’s a clear case of shooting unarmed person without any legal justification, but I have no idea what went into their decision,” Roberts said.
RELATED Man Who Witnessed Ashley Babbitt Shooting Recounts the Tragedy Man Who Witnessed Ashley Babbitt Shooting Recounts the Tragedy The family plans to move forward with a lawsuit against the officer for an excessive use of force.
Babbitt’s death was caused by the gunshot, which hit her left shoulder, the District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled last week. The manner of death was homicide.
The DOJ said its probe focused on seeing whether federal prosecutors could prove that the officer violated any federal laws.
“The investigation revealed no evidence to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer willfully committed a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242,” it said.
“Specifically, the investigation revealed no evidence to establish that, at the time the officer fired a single shot at Ms. Babbitt, the officer did not reasonably believe that it was necessary to do so in self-defense or in defense of the Members of Congress and others evacuating the House Chamber. Acknowledging the tragic loss of life and offering condolences to Ms. Babbitt’s family, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and U.S. Department of Justice have therefore closed the investigation into this matter.”

A group of former President Donald Trump’s cabinet members and senior advisors launched the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) on Tuesday to further “policies that put the American people first”—a move Trump applauded.
“The America first Policy Institute is launching to continue the transformative changes that happened over the last four years,” AFPI President and CEO Brooke Rollins said in a video released Tuesday.
Rollins was the director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Trump Administration. Before that, she ran the White House Office of American Innovation.
“The Trump Administration’s policy agenda created the greatest economy of our lifetimes,” Rollins continued in a statement. “We’re going to innovate and advocate for policies to put the American people first. This means securing our Nation’s border, reviving American industry, reasserting American primacy, and most of all, restoring American optimism.”

AFPI is allegedly the largest pro-Trump outside group with a first-year budget of $20 million, Axios first reported.
AFPI’s Chief Communications Officer Rachael Slobodien confirmed to The Epoch Times that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are the informal advisers to the nonprofit.

“The patriots assembling the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) are some of the greatest champions for freedom, free enterprise, national greatness, and the primacy of American workers, families, and communities, that our Nation has ever seen,” Trump said in a statement. “Linda McMahon, Brooke Rollins, Larry Kudlow, Rick Perry, General Kellogg, and the rest of the freedom warriors at AFPI have my full support as they work not only to preserve the historic accomplishments of my Administration but also to propel the America First Agenda into the future. I look forward to working with them to save America.”
Linda McMahon, the Administrator of the Small Business Administration during the Trump administration, serves as Chair of the AFPI board. McMahon was also one of the top donors to the Trump 2020 campaign.
“We will not stop working until the government truly serves the people first,” McMahon said in the statement.
Trump’s economic advisor Larry Kudlow serves as vice-chair of the board.
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, and former Vice President Mike Pence’s National Security adviser, General Keith Kellogg, will co-chair AFPI’s Center for American Security. Ratcliffe indicated that he is “grateful for the opportunity.”
Trump’s Secretary of Energy Rick Perry serves as chairman of the Center for Energy Independence.
AFPI said its work would be divided by 20 policy centers led by 40 of the most qualified servant leaders from the Trump Administration and the conservative movement.

Morries Hall invokes his Fifth Amendment constitutional right against self-incrimination during the 13th day of the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minn., on April 14, 2021.
Judge Lets Man Who Was With George Floyd on Day He Died Avoid Taking Stand BY ZACHARY STIEBER April 14, 2021
A Minnesota judge on Wednesday ruled that a man who was in George Floyd’s vehicle on the day Floyd died does not have to answer a single question during the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Morries Hall has described himself as a “key witness” to the fateful events of May 25, 2020. Body camera footage from police officers showed him sitting in Floyd’s passenger seat. But even acknowledging that he was in Floyd’s car when officers approached it near Cup Foods could open Hall up to criminal charges, his public defender, Adrienne Cousins, argued.
Chauvin’s lawyer, Eric Nelson, included in his proposed questions, “After conducting your business in Cup Foods, did you return to the vehicle with Mr. Floyd?”
“Mr. Hall cannot answer that question. Mr. Hall cannot put himself in that car with Mr. Floyd. This was a car that was searched twice, and drugs were recovered twice. If Mr. Hall puts himself in that car, he exposes himself to constructive possession charges,” Cousins told Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill in the county courthouse.
Hall would face charges even if Chauvin were acquitted of the three charges, including second-degree murder, against him, she added. Hall could potentially be charged with third-degree murder.
Nelson also sought to ask Hall if he noticed a change in Floyd’s behavior in the vehicle, to describe the behavior, and whether he told Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents that Floyd was drowsy or asleep.

Hall was interviewed by agents upon being apprehended in Texas several days after Floyd’s death. Hall fled to the state and was arrested on an outstanding warrant.

He said he was not willing to answer any of the proposed questions.
“Why would you not answer those?” Cahill asked.
“I am fearful of criminal charges going forward. I have open charges that’s not settled yet of my personal stuff,” Hall responded, before confirming he planned to invoke his Fifth Amendment right.
Cahill then ruled in favor of Hall, the latest in a series of rulings against the defense.
“I’m going to advise both sides to file your proposed questions … but I am finding that he has a complete Fifth Amendment privilege here,” the judge said.
“I had earlier said that possibly he could talk about how Mr. Floyd looked in the car, but counsel’s argument is persuasive that that could provide a link. And since it’s not just evidence that would incriminate a person but also provide a link to incriminating, I do find that his invocation of his Fifth Amendment right is valid and I am going to quash the subpoena.”
Cahill said Monday that he would not let the defense play any clips from Hall’s interview with law enforcement agents last year, because he found Hall was not necessarily a trustworthy witness.

Vaccine Mandatory for Buffalo Bills Games: NY County Executive BY JACK PHILLIPS April 14, 2021
The county executive in Erie County, New York, suggested that COVID-19 vaccinations will be mandatory to attend Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres games in person.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, a Democrat, told news outlets Tuesday that “there is no God-given right to attend a football game.”
“No Vaccine = No Entry” is what a slide that was displayed by Poloncarz read during his press conference Tuesday. Poloncarz said he spoke with Bills’ management about his plan.
“I want to see that stadium full, I know the Bills want to see that stadium full. We want to return fans back to the stadium,” Poloncarz said in a news conference. “That’s why the county supports returning all fans to the stadium and (hockey) arena for this fall … We know there’s a way to do it. We know there’s a way to ensure it. That’s that all fans and staff are fully vaccinated.”
Poloncarz added that “unless you are vaccinated, you will not have entry to the stadium,” adding that “we can then guarantee 70,000-plus people at the stadium.” He said that medical and religious exemptions will not be accommodated.
To do this, Poloncarz said he wants to use the state’s recently rolled-out vaccine passport-type system Excelsior. Such passport-type systems have been criticized by civil liberties groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and were banned via executive orders by the governors of Texas and Florida.
In a statement to The Epoch Times, a spokesman for Erie County said the move “will ultimately affect fans from outside of state/Canada (when the border opens up), but (like local fans) they would also be expected to produce proof of vaccination to enter the stadium or Key Bank Center.”
MOST READ Vaccine Mandatory for Buffalo Bills Games: NY County Executive US Lawmakers Condemn ‘Reprehensible’ Attack on Hong Kong Epoch Times’ Printing Press “Fans who don’t have a smartphone or the app will be able to access and print out their vaccination record online, and the part about children is still being worked on; eligibility keeps increasing and it is only mid-April now, so there will be about three and a half months before any games are played anyway; lots of time to plan,” the spokesman said.
The New York State Department of Health issued a statement to local news outlets following Poloncarz’s remarks.
“The New York State Department of Health continues to work closely with the Buffalo Bills on the plan to return fans to the stands this fall, in accordance with the State’s guidance on professional sports competitions with spectators and all applicable laws and regulations,” the agency said.
RELATED Divers in Lake Erie Find Cockpit Recorder of Missing Plane Divers in Lake Erie Find Cockpit Recorder of Missing Plane “As we did last year, we will continue to cooperate and comply with all New York State and local government regulations regarding our sporting events,” the Buffalo Bills said in a statement after Poloncarz’s press conference.
County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw, a Republican, said Poloncarz is acting in the manner of a dictator.
“Mark Poloncarz should spend less time killing businesses, ruining our economy, and destroying the dreams of die-hard Bills fans watching games in person again,” he said, according to the Buffalo News.

142 Fully Vaccinated People in Houston Test Positive for COVID-19 BY LORENZ DUCHAMPS April 14, 2021
More than 140 people in Houston have tested positive for COVID-19 more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated against the virus that causes it, health experts in the Texas city confirmed.
According to data provided by the Houston Health Department, the number of Houstonians who caught the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus after being fully vaccinated is 142—or 0.02 percent of residents in the city who have been fully vaccinated, The Houston Chronicle reported.
The data of the potential so-called vaccine “breakthrough cases” go back to January when the first wave of recipients received a full vaccination. Breakthrough cases refer to COVID-19 cases that appear in people more than two weeks after they have been fully vaccinated against the CCP virus.
COVID-19 is caused by the CCP virus, commonly referred to as the novel coronavirus, which originated in China in late 2019.
Dr. David Persse, the city’s chief medical officer, said residents getting infected after being fully vaccinated is “not unexpected” because the jab doesn’t grant recipients 100 percent immunity.
“This vaccine is not dissimilar from other vaccines in that it gives you some level of protection, but no vaccine is 100 percent effective,” Persse said.

“While tens of hundreds of thousands have been vaccinated, in a community that still has viral spread, it’s not too big of a surprise there are a small number of people who have become infected,” he added.
MOST READ 142 Fully Vaccinated People in Houston Test Positive for COVID-19 US Lawmakers Condemn ‘Reprehensible’ Attack on Hong Kong Epoch Times’ Printing Press None of the Houstonians that tested positive for COVID-19 after receiving the jab required hospitalization, Persse said, saying symptoms are usually incredibly mild with vaccinated people testing positive compared to unvaccinated people.
Fully vaccinated refers to people receiving both doses of the vaccines produced by Moderna or Pfizer/BioNTech. A third option, from Johnson & Johnson—which is currently suspended in the United States after reports of rare blood clots among recipients—is a single dose.
According to U.S. drug regulators, Pfizer’s vaccine is 95 percent effective in preventing infection of the CCP virus. Moderna’s was shown in a clinical trial to be 94.1 percent effective, while Johnson & Johnson’s was 66.9 percent effective. The percentages are for two weeks after the final vaccination.
RELATED Fauci: No Concern About Number of People Testing Positive After COVID-19 Vaccination Fauci: No Concern About Number of People Testing Positive After COVID-19 Vaccination A number of U.S. states have recently seen similar infections among Americans who are fully vaccinated, including Idaho, Florida, Michigan Minnesota, South Carolina, and Washington.
Michigan data shows 246 residents tested positive for COVID-19 more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated. Eleven of the residents were hospitalized and three died, a spokesperson with the state Department of Health and Human Services (MDDHS) told The Epoch Times via email. The people who died were all 65 years of age or older.
In Washington, more than 100 people tested positive after being fully vaccinated, authorities said on March 31. Of those recipients, eight patients required hospitalization, and two have died. All contracted the virus more than two weeks after being fully vaccinated.
“Finding evidence of vaccine breakthrough cases reminds us that, even if you have been vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask, practice socially distancing, and wash your hands to prevent spreading COVID-19 to others who have not been vaccinated,” Washington Secretary of Health Umair Shah said in a statement.
Last week, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told reporters during a virtual briefing the number of so-called breakthrough COVID-19 cases is not a cause for concern.
“I think the important thing is to look at what the denominator of vaccinated people is, because it is very likely—and what we’re hearing at least indirectly, and we’re certainly going to be confirming that—that that number of individuals who were breakthrough infections is not at all incompatible with a 90-plus percent vaccine efficacy. So, I don’t think that there needs to be concern about any shift or change in the efficacy of the vaccine,” Fauci said.

The thing that strikes me after watching this in its entirety, is that NONE of this would be happening if WE didn't Allow fake prez Biden to be installed. It has only been four months & it's getting worse & worse by the day. How many illegal immigrants are going to be allowed in over four years? How many destructive and Evil EOs is Biden going to be able to sign?? Our country is being slaughtered.
