Footage captures DC officers talking Antifa, exhorting rioters to run into Capitol and may provide roadmap to future security reforms to avoid "blue-on-blue tragedy." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VIDEO AT LINK................. Congressional investigators have obtained hours of video footage from undercover officers who were dispatched by the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to the U.S. Capitol to conduct electronic surveillance during the Jan. 6 riot, a critical new piece of evidence that could help lawmakers fashion long-delayed security reforms. The footage reviewed by Just the News ranges from the mundane -- such as chronicling moments when Capitol Police officers are impacted by tear...

Personnel at the New York City prison where accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last week have not been initially cooperative with investigators from the Department of Justice, a federal source told Fox News Friday. Attorney General William Barr sent two senior DOJ officials to personally visit the Metropolitan Correctional Center and speak with staff from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) in order to gather information on Epstein’s death after Barr said officials uncovered “serious irregularities” at the jail, a senior DOJ official told Fox News. The officials have been on site since Thursday and the FBI and...

Medical Examiner Rules Jeffrey Epstein Death Was Suicide by Hanging © Jane Rosenberg 23:21 16.08.2019(updated 23:41 16.08.2019) The New York Medical Examiner's Office released its official autopsy report on financier and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, finding that he died from suicide by hanging. On Thursday, the Washington Post reported, citing unnamed sources, that Epstein's autopsy had found "multiple breaks in his neck bones," noting that while that kind of damage can be obtained by self-hanging, "they are more common in victims of homicide by strangulation." However, Friday's official report concluded the bones were broken by Epstein kneeling...

Once again, Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who claims Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while both were in high school, just contradicted herself while under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee. First, she contradicted her own story about the number of individuals who attended the party where Kavanaugh assaulted her. (RELATED: Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford Changes Story During Testimony.) That looks bad because it shows Ford’s memory isn’t exactly trustworthy. Now we’re learning more damning information about Ford. Prior to her testimony, the Senate Judiciary Committee asked to set up a date for Ford to testify. Ford gave the...

Alan Greenspan’s new book draws on extensive public records he has previously given, interviews he has conducted with his contemporaries, and his personal notes and recollections. The resulting story is fact-filled. Still, there are a few points where his assertions differ from the historical record or with his public statements at the time, though they do not change the overall story. rticle.) For example, he told President Gerald Ford that “recessions are like hurricanes — they range from ordinary to catastrophic.” He was relieved when the recession of 1974-75 turned out to be “the milder kind of storm.” But in...

On Monday, December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into law a Medicare prescription drug benefits package designed to help American seniors pay for their medications. This month, the Kerry campaign released a TV ad attacking President Bush’s Medicare record stating, “The very next day George Bush imposes the biggest Medicare premium increase in history while prescription drug costs still skyrocket.” There are several problems with this ad, namely that fact that 1) Kerry skipped the December 8 vote and 2) Kerry voted to support the increase in Medicare premiums that he now criticizes. The Kerry campaign offers no specifics on...

The Labor Department reported this morning that the U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.4% in August, down from 5.5% in July, and that our economy created 144,000 new jobs in August. July job creation was revised upward to 73,000 from the 32,000 initially reported. 78,000 new jobs were added in June. Looks like the July numbers were a blip and we’re getting back to the torrid pace of job creation of May (248,000), April (346,000), and March (353,000). After President Bush’s stirring speech last night and the good economic news, just how will Senator Franken-Kerry put a negative spin on...

Will John Kerry issue in an age of a “stronger America” as his campaign bumper stickers state? I have found quite the contrary, and have provided documentation. In the mid 1960’s he tried to avoid military service for 12 months so he could continue his studies in Paris, according to Britain’s Telegraph. [1] Then he served 4 ½ months in Vietnam. Though he claimed a Purple Heart for his first “injury,” his own diary for that day states, “we hadn't been shot at yet.” [2] According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, you have to be wounded to...

Fox News has repeated a story several times today about more inconsistent stories from Kerry in the Congressional Record. He said that his Swift boat was blown two feet out of the water by a mine. On a seperate occcasion he said a green beret (Rasmussen I would guess) was attempting to fetch a weapon when he fell overboard because the boat made a sharp turn starboard. The boat turned but the the green beret kept going straight and landed in the water. I wonder if Kerry didn't fall over and bruise his arm during the same maneuver? I have...

Bob Dole Slams Kerry By Andrew L. Jaffee, August 23, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms Nothing has really changed for Democratic hopeful John Kerry, except that real war veterans, like Bob Dole, are questioning the “superficial wounds” and resulting “medals” he received during four (4) months service in Vietnam. Kerry is still flailing, trying to cover up a career punctuated by extreme left-wing politics and flip-flopping by talking to voters about his military service. He squandered his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention by trying to convince Americans that his tour of duty in Vietnam will make him a great commander...

Is your canon on the loose?Until now I have given only light support to a fannish effort intended to establish a canon for Tolkien discussions. Not the canon, mind you, or the ultimate canon, or the final canon, or even the best canon. Merely a canon. My light support has consisted of granting permission to people to mention the project on The Tolkien and Inklings Forum (formerly The White Council).The real canonical discussion was started over at The Barrowdowns Web site, but it seems (as of this writing) to have stalled. And I think I can understand why it stalled....

Microsoft 'hoovers millions' from UK schools - update By Drew Cullen Posted: 08/09/2002 at 06:44 EST Bob Blizzard, the Waveney, Suffolk MP who is campaigning against "unfair" Microsoft licence terms for schools, has published an email from the software giant, replying to his complaints. David Burrows, education head at Microsoft UK, says the firm has no plans at present to alter licence terms, which see schools pay much more than colleges for their software. "In response to your specific request, we have discussed this extensively with colleagues in Microsoft Corporation and conclude that we are not able, at this point,...
