The hearing is also expected to tie together details from prior hearings, including the inflam- matory presidential rhetoric that drew thousands to Washington that day, Trump’s willingness to grant audiences to fringe figures peddling fabulist and unconstitu- tional theories on how he could keep hold of the presidency and the many times he was urged to intervene during the violence but refused to do so. All of it points to one conclu- sion, which the committee plans to argue Thursday: Trump want- ed the violence, he is responsible for it and his unwillingness to help end it amounts to a derelic- tion of duty and a violation of his oath of office. “It’s very clear that watching this violence was part of the plan,” Luria said. “He wanted to see it unfold. And it wasn’t until he realized that it was not going to be successful that he finally stood up and said something.” A Trump spokesman called the Jan. 6 investigation a “distrac- tion” from Democrats’ “failures.” “November is coming, and all the Democrats will have to show for their short term with a con- gressional majority is another investigation to nowhere, while the world burned,” said Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich.

Denied due process, journalists are held in inhumane conditions and face sham charges with sentences between 7 and 13 years just for reporting honestly. Many media professionals have been forced to flee Nicaragua for safety and now live in exile.

LIO HILARY PRICE MARK TRAIL JULES RIVERA HAGAR THE HORRIBLE “I read somewhere,” Cy BLONDIE MARK TATULLI MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM MIKE PETERS told us, “that a man is a bit taller in the morning than at CHRIS BROWNE BALDO HECTOR CANTU & CARLOS CASTELLANOS night.” DEAN YOUNG & JOHN MARSHALL SALLY FORTH FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & JIM KEEFE “Don’t know about that,” Unlucky Louie sighed, “but I know I’m always short at the end of the month.” Louie loses consistently in our penny game — due to bad luck, he insists. When he was declarer at today’s four spades, he took the ace of hearts, drew trumps and led a club, finessing with dummy’s 10. East took the jack and returned a heart. Louie ruffed and led a sec- ond club to the queen. East produced the king and led a diamond, and West took the queen and ace. Down one. Louie is so broke he can’t even pay attention. He should draw trumps end- ing in dummy and next let the jack of diamonds ride. If West wins and shifts to a club, Louie plays dummy’s queen. East wins, but Louie later forces out West’s ace of diamonds and discards two clubs from dummy on the K-10 of diamonds, assuring the contract. DAILY QUESTION You hold: ♠ A K Q 10 5 ♥ A ♦ K 10 9 8 ♣ 8 5 4 The dealer, at your right, opens one heart. You over- call one spade, the next player bids two hearts and two passes follow. What do you say? ANSWER: Some players — quite reasonably — would have doubled one heart, intending to bid spades next. You certainly should not sell out to two hearts. Double. Your partner will bid a minor suit or belatedly support your spades. Rarely, he will pass for penalty. — Frank Stewart ©2022, TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

THURSDAY, JULY 21, 2022 . THE WASHINGTON POST EZ RE C7 MUTTS PATRICK McDONNELL ZITS JERRY SCOTT & JIM BORGMAN HOROSCOPE DILBERT SCOTT ADAMS JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY BIRTHDAY | JULY 21 You are perceptive, eloquent and charming. You also have excellent comedic timing. You are innovative, optimistic and determined. Welcome opportunities for solitude this year, because this is a time of learning as well as teaching for you. Study will lead to deeper revelations about the meaning of life. Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19). Guard against rash decisions that affect your wealth or something that you own. You might buy something impulsively. “I have to have it!” Or you might make an impulsive financial decision. FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL TAURUS GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE (APRIL 20-MAY 20). DUSTIN Today the Moon is lined up STEVE KELLEY & JEFF PARKER THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with fiery Mars in your sign, which can make you highly emotional! You will be quick to react to others if you think they are slighting you or being critical. WEINGARTENS & CLARK GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20). You might feel a bit confused today because strong feelings are building up within you, but they are at a subconscious level. For example, you might feel impulsive and not know why. You might overreact to something that someone says. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22). Be patient when dealing with friends and members of groups, because you might fly off the handle before you know what happens. You will be sensitive if anyone is critical of you. You also might feel competitive with someone even if there’s no reason to feel this way. Relax. STAN LEE & ALEX SAVIUK LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22). This is a tricky day if you’re dealing with bosses, parents, teachers or the police, because you might lose it. For starters, you feel sensitive and a bit irritable. Knowing this, you can make an effort not to react. PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22). You have strong opinions today about controversial matters like politics, race and religion. Likewise, you have strong feelings about travel or dealing with other countries. Be aware that you have a short fuse. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22). You have strong feelings when it comes to inheritances, taxes, debt or shared property. In fact, you won’t hesitate to defend your best interests. The trick is to stand up for yourself but, at the same time, not alienate someone else. NON SEQUITUR WILEY BABY BLUES RICK KIRKMAN & JERRY SCOTT SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21). Today the Moon is in a sign that is opposite from your sign, and at the same time, the Moon is also lined up with fiery Mars. This is the classic combo for testy relations with partners and close friends. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21). Be patient with work colleagues today. You might be pushy about what you want because you want things to go your way. On the upside, you will take the initiative if necessary. BIG NATE LINCOLN PEIRCE ON THE FASTRACK BILL HOLBROOK CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19). You will be courageous if you’re involved in a physical competition today because you feel feisty and energetic! However, when dealing with kids, pull in your reins and be gentle. BEETLE BAILEY MORT, BRIAN & GREG WALKER PEARLS BEFORE SWINE STEPHAN PASTIS AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18). Do what you can to keep the peace at home, because it’s very easy for you to overreact when dealing with family members today. This is because you are sensitive, especially to criticism. Or you might feel competitive with a family member. Stay chill. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20). Be careful, because today you can be hasty and impulsive. It’s all too easy for you to say or do something without thinking first. It will just happen! Knowing this ahead of time, be smart and think before you act or speak. — Georgia Nicols © 2022, KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, INC. PREVIOUS SUDOKU SOLUTION SPEED BUMP DAVE COVERLY DENNIS THE MENACE H.
