Washington Times: Biden says he discussed Jan. 6 with German leader who died in 2017.
President Biden said at a Wednesday fundraiser that he discussed the Jan. 6, 2021, riots with the dead German chancellor.

[.]...Mr. Biden “seemed to say that Helmut Kohl (who died in 2017) was there with him at his first foreign trip as President talking about Jan 6th … Angela Merkel was the German chancellor in 2021.”
A great Thread. Some unhinged and irate liberal replies, but when aren't they?
President Donald Trump returned to North Carolina on Wednesday night for a campaign rally in a likely presidential battleground state that he won in 2016.Standing Room Only. Some selected, actual quotes:
Trump rallied Republican supporters, harshly criticizing four fiery, left-wing congresswoman of being un-American and claiming they are the face of the Democratic Party that will ruin the country.
Theresa May arrived in Berlin for crunch talks this morning - but in yet another awkward Brexit metaphor, nobody was there to greet her.
The Prime Minister's car pulled up at the Chancellery ahead of her meeting with Angela Merkel.

It's an excruciating re-run of scenes in December when she pulled up at the very same spot, only to find herself locked in her car.
According to The Wall Street Journal, United States Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell told the German government in a letter on Friday that allowing Chinese vendor equipment across 5G networks would reduce US cooperation with intelligence agencies in Germany.More - Security Week: Germany will define their own standards, says Merkel.
Grenell pointed out that Chinese law requires Chinese companies to support China's security agencies[.]
"We will define our standards for ourselves," [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel told reporters at a Berlin press conference with Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel.- - -
...the FAA is notoriously safety-conscious. Planes in search of an airworthiness certificate must meet stringent standards; the certification process usually takes years. And it gets results: Just one person has died in American airspace on a commercial airplane since 2009. But, it seems, the agency has not yet found reason to ground the new 737.- - -
The car nerds of the internet tend to love them, and because we're a loud bunch, once in a while a manufacturer will take a chance and try to sell one here. Inevitably this lasts a couple of years, few people buy them new, and they go away[.]I'm guessing its uncertain future has to do with the words "station wagon" following "Jaguar".
The lower court did take a couple of shots at Woods during its dismissal of the suit, pointing out he was as uncooperative as possible when the plaintiff, Portia Boulger, tried to serve him.And we would expect no less from Mr. Woods. Congrats!
So far, no evidence has been found of dust-free space, but that's partly because it would be difficult to detect from Earth. No matter how scientists look from Earth, all the dust in between us and the Sun gets in the way, tricking them into thinking perhaps space near the Sun is dustier than it really is.
The interior minister said he would share everything he finds out with the public by the middle of the next week at the latest.But it gets more complicated than that. Same link:
German political parties have criticized the country's cyber defense agency, the Federal Office for IT Safety (BSI), for its handling of the data breach.Something is amiss here with BSI. What, I don't know. Or has yet to be discovered and reported.
The BSI clarified that it only became aware of the full extent of the breach earlier this week on Saturday, a day after BSI chief Arne Schönbohm said the agency had known about isolated breaches in early December.
The Green party's parliamentary leader, Anton Hofreiter, demanded Schönbohm explain himself urgently to an extraordinary parliamentary committee meeting.
The deputy leader of the business-friendly Free Democrats (FDP), Wolfgang Kubicki, suggested that Schönbohm should quit.
"A president who first says he's known about the breach since the beginning of December and then backtracks to say he's only known about it since January 3 must ask himself if he's the right man for the job," he said.
The trove of leaked documents is massive but early assessments indicate that it seems focused less on exposing state secrets than it does on revealing deeply personal information about its targets. The exposed data includes internal political communications, like emails and scans of faxes, along with credit card information, home addresses, phone numbers, personal identification card details, private chat logs, and even voicemails from relatives and children.Not so fast on the "no scandals/no secrets". At Computer Business Review, the second link of this post, the story states the hack revealed a lot of information that is mirrored (duplicated) at numerous sites and there's a lot of data to comb through.
The leak was made with strenuous effort to ensure that the leaked documents can’t easily be taken down. There there over 70 mirrors of the initial download link alone, while each of the 40 download links has another 3-5 mirrors each.Tru News reports the DOL has begun releasing 9/11 documents.
Each of the tens of thousands of files uploaded appears to have its own or indeed multiple mirrors; something that would have taken a huge amount of manpower.
[.]
“3 percent” of the data had already revealed “cases of corruption and bad political scandals”. 4chan users were already revelling [sic] in some of the scandals today, from sexual proclivities to Wikipedia edits by politicians.
By themselves, the new documents don’t set off too many alarms, but they do establish that The Dark Overlord certainly had access to sensitive materials.Or, grammatically incorrect on purpose? Or, so the Germans would have us believe? I'm not making light of anything here with that last link, who knows what information could have been hacked? We won't know until, or if, it's leaked. The DOL story is not unlike Q, or QAnon, which Phil explained so well.
[.]
[The DOL states], “The United States of America & All Involved Parties,” also added:
“This is a message for the nation-state of the United States of America and the greater deep-state.
“We're going to continue to bend you over a barrel and [expletive] you if our demands are not met. You know the score. Your censorship and fakenews coverups won't silence this organisation or its public support. You were warned. To all the other parties involved (airlines, litigation firms, investigation firms, FBI, TSA, FAA, banks, security companies and more), we're going to burn you down unless you begin to 'play ball'. This entire situation will soon become far more tragick to your survival. Make the right choise.
“We're peeling these layers back like an onion. No one can save you except for us. Pay the [expletive] up.”
The use of English grammar and punctuation, particularly in the ransom demands, strongly suggests the author of both statements is not from the U.S.

| Schulz: would not govern like Trump. |
Godfrey Bloom said "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" - one people, one empire, one leader - as Martin Schulz was making a speech.
He was ordered out of the chamber and will face disciplinary measures.
Mr Bloom told the BBC he stood by his words, describing the leader of the socialist group in the parliament, as "a national socialist".
[.]
[UKIP leader Nigel Farage], stated, "Mr Schulz regularly calls people fascists and when he is called one the member in question is asked to leave. That isn't right. That isn't fair."
