In the aftermath of explosive new January 6 footage revealed by Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson, there have been false claims made by Biden officials that police officers were killed by protesters during the Capitol riots. Attorney General Merrick Garland in particular misrepresented the incident and implied that five police officers died due to the January 6 incident. “I think all Americans saw what happened on January 6th, and most of it saw, most of us saw it, as it was happening,” Garland said. “It was a violent attack on a fundamental tenant of American democracy. That power is...

This post was updated at 5 p.m. ET Hillary Clinton's speech Tuesday at a historic black church in Missouri was mostly well-received by the audience, but three words angered some of the activists she was hoping to appeal to.

The church where Clinton spoke, Christ the King United Church of Christ, is in Florissant, Mo., fewer than 5 miles from where the rioting and protesting happened in Ferguson.Listen to Hillary Screw Up..

Once again, Connecticut and the nation got some “face time” with the former’s state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s press conference, flanked with members who have served in the Unite States Marines and speaks about a son who is now at present serving in the Marines.

I think he left out the word "deliberately" when saying he misspoke, this is Dick Blumenthal's presser today, surrounded by veterans..(Video)

<p>Alpert, who is also seeking the Democratic Senate nomination, said the Times revelations are "pretty striking" and fly in the face of Blumenthal's public image.</p>

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- A White House official "misspoke" when he said the Obama administration would not allow the Goldstone report recommendations on Israel's conduct in the Gaza war to reach the International Criminal Court. A top White House official told Jewish organizational leaders in an off-the-record phone call Wednesday that the U.S. strategy was to "quickly" bring the report -- commissioned by the U.N. Human Rights Council and carried out by former South African Judge Richard Goldstone -- to its "natural conclusion" within the Human Rights Council and not to allow it to go further, Jewish participants in the call...

W.H. concedes Sotomayor misspoke By: Carol E. Lee May 29, 2009 03:50 PM EST White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs sought to tamp down criticism over controversial comments Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor made in 2001, regarding whether a Latino judge might render “better” rulings than a white judge, saying the judge would choose different words if she could give her speech all over again. “I think she’d say that her word choice in 2001 was poor,” Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters. “She was simply making the point that personal experiences are relevant to the process of judging, that...

In an unexpected move, the Speaker of the House upped the ante on the President's pay scale rule that private executive pay must not exceed $ 500,000.00 per year. This afternoon it was announced that executive jets must be powered by alternative energy, in order to fly in the United States. In the House's pending Community Aviation Investment Act, no aircraft will be permitted to fly unless painted green, certified as emission-free, and serviced by disadvantaged labor. In an interim period, extension cords may be permitted. "Over ten million politicians lose their credibility every day, and so this legislation cannot...

You'll recall Hillary Clinton's recent speech in which she attempted to play up her foreign policy experience by recounting her "harrowing" 1996 trip to Bosnia. "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." Well, mainstream media has discounted that account, and such luminaries as comedian Sinbad have chimed in as well. It appears, however, that Clinton caved in too soon when she admitted overstating the dangers, as Barely Political...
