||A stunning text from Officer Brian Sicknick, sent to friends on January 6, has surfaced that shows Officer Sicknick believed ANTIFA was responsible for breaking the capitol building's windows.

This is the text. Red lines are my own.
Sicknick is the officer that The New York Times wrote a fake story about, saying he was struck by a fire extinguisher and died of his injuries. He was not hit with a fire extinguisher and died soon after the riot from natural causes (stroke).

The text was produced by a friend of Sicknick, Travis Page, a former United States Capitol Police Officer who, when asked, produced his credentials as confirmation of his identity.||

The top ten highest grossing films of all time, adjusted for inflation (so the cost of the ticket for the movie is the same baseline):

Gone with the Wind - Star Wars - The Sound of Music - ET The Extra-Terrestrial - Titanic - Ten Commandments - Jaws - Dr Zhivago - The Exorcist - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves

I mean its kind of the list you would expect from memory and how beloved the movies are, although Exorist and Zhivago shocked me. I remember the Star Wars lines, there's no way anything is getting that kind of attendance these days.

The highest selling Avengers movie is number 16. Gone with the Wind has earned over 250 million dollars more than Star Wars, its got a huge HUGE lead that probably will never be equaled.
