These people have security details with them, so it raises the question of why do all these Republicans in Congress feel a need to carry a weapon?

I think if they have security at her level they have to pay for them themselves. Only a few Congressional leaders get personal security.

This is correct. Few have government provided security. I don't recall either, but I want to say only the majority and minority leaders in each chamber have that. The rest have to hire their own private security protection.

There may also be exceptions in the case where a Congressman has been threatened. They can apply for protection when that happens.

I met private security details, paid and sometimes volunteer. The point is they don't travel alone. They always have people with them, some of who are with them to protect them. You rarely see them in photographs or videos, but they're there.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced this week that he is giving former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani a job.

On Tuesday, Lindell appeared on Steve Bannon's WarRoom show where guest hosts are filling in after Bannon surrendered himself to prison this week.

"Speaking of Rudy Giuliani...we hired him over at FrankSpeech.com. He's on my network now. He follows Steve Bannon, it's Steve Bannon, and then after him is Lou Dobbs and then myself," Lindell said............

Just ask Mrs. Bird

I already have a problem calling anyone "bird" as it is. Now you want me to ask "Mrs. Bird" too? What the hell?

I think MT's point is they're not required to have security and most don't, paid, volunteer, or otherwise. They only ones required to have security at all times are those in direct line of succession (SotH, president pro tempt, etc.).

and after SFLs nonsense about the Alitos' flags and refusal to believe that symbols can be adopted and their meaning changed and before he shows up and claims that:

A. There's nothing racist about White Boy Summer, it's from a Chet Hanks song (Tom Hank's son)

B. It's no different from Black Girl Magic

I'll leave this here
===============

In March 2021, Chet Hanks, son of actor Tom Hanks, published a series of social media posts critiquing white men’s attire and behavior, culminating a month later with the release of his song, “White Boy Summer.” A play on Megan Thee Stallion’s 2019 hit song, “Hot Girl Summer,” “White Boy Summer” has taken the internet and meme culture by storm. And while “White Boy Summer” was not initially intended to be hateful, white supremacists have adopted the slogan and leveraged it for their own purposes.

This is not the first time white supremacists have co-opted an innocuous slogan by layering on exclusionary messaging and using it as a call for action. The phrase “White Boy Summer” or WBS, now in evidence on Telegram, Discord, 4Chan, Gab, Parler, and Twitter, shows extremists using a popular cultural trend to infiltrate mainstream conversations and disguise their racist beliefs as irony or jest. It should be noted that non-extremists also continue to use the phrase, but in largely non-hateful contexts.

“White Boy Summer” (WBS) has shown up in extremist channels and rhetoric in three distinct ways: general “shirtposting,” racist and misogynistic tropes and explicitly white supremacist propaganda. Many memes on extremist channels have strategically adopted aesthetically pleasing imagery to disguise or distract from their real messages; layers of these seemingly playful images of summer fun can be peeled away to expose messages of hatred and calls to action............

Chet Hanks, son of actor Tom Hanks, has inadvertently emboldened white supremacists and other hate groups, according to a recent report from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE).

The younger Hanks jokingly coined the phrase “White Boy Summer,” sometimes abbreviated as “WBS,” in 2021. Building off trends such as rapper Megan thee Stallion’s “hot girl summer,” Hanks said the phrase was intended to promote an embrace of “fly” white boys.

Now, Hanks is responding to the co-opting of his social media movement by extremists a day after GPAHE's report was written about in The New York Times. In an Instagram post uploaded on Wednesday, Hanks clarified that White Boy Summer is all about “love.”

“White boy summer was created to be fun, playful, and a celebration of fly white boys who love beautiful queens of every race,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Anything else that it has been twisted into to support any kind of hate or bigotry against any group of people is deplorable and I condemn it.”………
