Parler reportedly removes post from pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood after calling for Mike Pence's execution.
Parler hit further headwinds over the weekend after the social networking service reportedly removed a post by pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, where he threatened violence against Vice President Mike Pence.
This comes as Parler will likely be knocked offline for a week after Google and Apple removed it from their app stores and Amazon said it would boot it off its web hosting service, severely limiting its reach to its more than 10 million users after the app was among those used to organize the deadly riots at the U.S. Capitol.
Wood's message violated the company’s terms of service and was removed, Parler chief executive John Matze told Mediaite.
“Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST,” Wood wrote Thursday on Parler, according to Mediaite.
Woods has responded on his Parler account: "The use of rhetorical hyperbole is NOT unlawful," he wrote, further laying out a punishment for treason and stating only law enforcement can administer it. "Parler should NOT chill free speech including rhetorical hyperbole."

Outgoing U.S. Capitol Police chief Steven Sund told the Washington Post newspaper in an interview that House of Representatives and Senate security officials had hamstrung his efforts to call in the National Guard. Sund said his supervisors were reluctant to take formal steps to put the Guard on call even as police intelligence suggested that the crowd President Donald Trump had invited to Washington last week to protest his defeat was probably going to be much larger than earlier demonstrations, the Reuters reported.
National forecast. Snow in Texas! Did you love it? The storm is still bringing wintry weather across the Mississippi Valley today, and then mainly a chilly rain for the Southeast. The rest of the country is quiet with exception to the Northwest with more rain and mountain snow moving in.

Somewhere in Brazil ... WTF
ORANGE – Chapman University is facing pressure to fire a professor who spoke at the pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. just hours before protesters stormed the Capitol building. Controversial Chapman University law professor John Eastman appeared on stage with President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani at a “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, where they urged his supporters to head to the Capitol. In response, over 150 Chapman faculty members signed onto a letter calling on the university to fire Eastman. However, University President Daniele Struppa issued two statements, one on Friday and a second on Saturday, saying that he will not fire Eastman.
Free speech whatever side you are on can’t be taken away. This is a slippery slope we are walking on.

CONFIRMED! Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund says he requested that the National Guard be placed on standby in the days before the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol but that House and Senate security officials turned him down.
Sund said House and Senate sergeants at arms told him they were not comfortable with the “optics” of declaring an emergency days before the protest and suggested Sund should informally ask Guard officials to be on alert. Both have since resigned. Sund said he pleaded for help five more times as the riot unfolded. A crowd of several thousand quickly overran the Capitol Police contingent of 1,400 officers at the scene.
Sund said the crowd breached the Capitol just before 2 p.m. A half hour later he was on the phone with the Pentagon, he said. But Sund and others say Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt, director of the Army Staff, balked at recommending that his boss, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, approve the request. Again, optics were cited.
National Guard troops arrived at about 5:40 p.m., after the riot had been quelled.
"However, we were repeatedly denied approval to do so," Hogan said.

SPAIN, MADRID - A persistent blizzard has blanketed large parts of Spain with 50-year record levels of snow, killing at least four people and leaving thousands trapped in cars or in train stations and airports that had suspended all services as the snow kept falling.
