A recent investigation has revealed that coronaviruses from the Chinese facility in Wuhan, which is now understood to be the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, were experimented with a little over a year before the worldwide pandemic. These efforts were also funded by U.S. taxpayers.In 2018, a “SARS-like” virus known as WIV1 was introduced in a lab in Montana, infecting 12 Egyptian fruit bats under the direction of Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health.The WIV1 coronavirus was reportedly tested on bats obtained from a “roadside” Maryland zoo and was transported from the Wuhan facility, where the FBI...

Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA) said Thursday that there will be no special session of the Georgia State legislature to impeach Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, claiming attempting to do so could be unconstitutional. Kemp said that despite his own feelings on Willis's investigation into former President Donald Trump and his allies over allegedly working to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, he does not have the power to call a special session. “We have a law in the state of Georgia that clearly outlines the legal steps that can be taken if constituents believe their local prosecutors...

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has gently nudged his Republican counterparts in the House of Representatives to pump the brakes on chatter of impeaching President Biden. “I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” McConnell told the New York Times in an interview published Tuesday. “Impeachment ought to be rare,” he added. “This is not good for the country.” A growing number of House Republicans have called for Biden’s impeachment, with most of them citing the border...

Intelligence forewarning of violence kept from decision makers. A plea for National Guard rejected. Security locks on a door deactivated, allowing rioters to flood into the Capitol. And now officers losing control of gear that then gets used against them. The evidence of serious security failures inside the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 tragedy keeps mounting as House Republicans use their new found control to expose information that was suppressed by their Democrat counterparts' original investigation. The latest bombshell surfaced Tuesday night when security obtained by Just the News revealed Capitol Police lost control of a yellow bag of...

The special counsel’s report provides the summary Americans need to understand the breadth of the malfeasance.. Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation Monday. While the 306-page report includes some new details of the Russia-collusion hoax, the Clinton campaign’s role in the plot, and the FBI and intelligence agencies’ misconduct, much of the content merely rehashes what conservative media have reported for the last five years. Still, our country needed a public record of the events that represent one of the biggest political scandals in American history, and on that front Durham delivered. FBI’s...

Outgoing National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday on CNN’s “Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?” that he could not be “complicit” with former President Donald Trump’s misinformation on the COVID-19 pandemic. Wallace asked, “What do you think of Donald Trump? Fauci said, “Well, I don’t want to get into the politics of it, so it’s irrelevant what I think of Donald Trump.” Wallace pressed, “What do you think of him from a public health standpoint?”

On the day that Joe Biden was sworn into office, he signed dozens of extensively radical executive orders. Then the Biden administration began populating the federal government and the federal Judiciary — including the new Supreme Court vacancy — with hundreds (probably thousands) of the most extreme anti-American people imaginable. The administration has re-crafted an enormous number of laws and regulations — often illegally — to push the hard-left, woke, LGBT agendas throughout business, government, education, and society in general. U.S. foreign policy, including the hideous abandonment in Afghanistan and unhinged Ukrainian response, has clearly been coordinated to weaken America...

ABC legal analyst Sunny Hostin declared Tuesday on “The View” that former President Donald Trump has “hate in his heart,” so those who follow him were “complicit.” Referencing Trump, co-host Joy Behar said, “He will twist everything around so that everything comes back to him.” Referencing Biden, Griffin said, “My only counterpoint is this, while I actually agreed with the substance of his speech about democracy, there is poling from NBC—57% of Americans think the threat to democracy is the most important thing the nation is facing. I take a little bit of issue with him broadly applying the term...

Vice President Kamala Harris, in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech that appeared targeted at a pair of fellow Democrats, called on senators to pass stalled voting rights bills or be “complicit” in disenfranchising people. Harris’ stern pitch for the seemingly fated bills on Monday follows President Biden’s controversial speech last week that likened Republican senators to racists for blocking the legislation.

Former CIA analyst Matt Zeller said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that the Trump Administration shut down the visa program for Afghans so “they’re as complicit” just as the Taliban were in the deaths of those trying to flee. Anchor Alisyn Camerota said, “It was so interesting to hear former senior advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller, last night say the U.S. doesn’t owe these people anything. Listen to him.”

Our Country Has Been Stolen and Republicans Did Not Prevent the Theft Paul Craig Roberts Other than President Trump, no one cares enough about America to protect it. So why are we spending $1,000 billion annually to defend ourselves from alleged foreign threats when there is no defense against our country’s theft by the ruling Establishment and woke Democrat identity politics ideologues? Why vote Republican when the party does not defend us? The journalist Katerina Blinova writing in Sputnik International captured the meaning of the stolen presidential election. Democrats are turning America into a “one-party system” — https://sputniknews.com/us/202011221081242712-politburo-are-dems-striving-to-win-it-all–turn-us-political-landscape-into-one-party-system/ .

Democrat Stacey Abrams cheered 7.7 million registered voters in Georgia just in time for the January 5th Senate runoff elections. Does this surprise anyone? In November Democrats, with the assistance of Republican leadership in the state, were able to flip a reliably Republican state to Joe Biden who campaigned in his basement. Democrats used dead voters, criminals, phantom voters, late-night ballot dumps, criminal drop boxes and stashed suitcases filled with Biden ballots to steal the state, so far, for Dementia Joe. There were also thousands of underage teens who voted illegally in their first election. So far, NO ONE has...

The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate. The broad swath of the Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the burning of an American flag in Tehran. For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two...

NBC News purposefully hid vital information that would have supported clearing Brett Kavanaugh's rape allegations that Julie Swetnick and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, leveled against him.

The Washington Post has published some silly editorials over the years, but perhaps none reach the pinnacle of silliness like the editorial they published today that accuses Donald Trump in being "complicit" in a hurricane. President Trump issued several warnings on his Twitter feed Monday, counseling those in FlorenceÂ’s projected path to prepare and listen to local officials. That was good advice. Yet when it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humansÂ’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather...

The editorial board of the Washington Post has declared that President Trump is “complicit” for Hurricane Florence because of his views on climate change. The massive storm has not made landfall yet, but the Post published a column on Wednesday headlined, “Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit.” The piece also notes that Trump has given “good advice” when issuing hurricane warnings via his Twitter feed before it launched an attack on the president. “When it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues...

For more than a year and a half, the media have gone all-in on reporting every possible angle of President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia. No story update has been too small, no encounter with a Russian too inconsequential, and no anonymous source too sketchy to generate outsize coverage and histrionic claims from major media.But as the Russian collusion story disintegrates, another interesting story ascends. Investigations by multiple congressional committees as well as an investigation by the inspector general of the Department of Justice have shown irregularities in the handling of the most politically sensitive probes in recent memory:...
