The U.S. Justice Department on Friday said it expects to file criminal charges against more than 100 additional people who allegedly participated in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, in what it described as probably the most complex investigation it has ever handled.More than 300 people already face charges stemming from the siege, which left five people dead and more than 130 police officers injured as thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump tried to prevent Congress from certifying his election defeat.The Justice Department made the disclosure in court filings seeking 60-day extensions in some cases so...

After 3 attempts, 32 years, and 5 primaries as a candidate, Joe Biden finally won his first set of delegates in his quest to be the Democratic Party’s nominee for president. Within hours, the powers that be in the liberal establishment saw their opening and pounced on the remaining candidates, applying pressure to get them to drop out and support Biden. With no clear path to the nomination for anyone, thanks largely to the screwed up way in which Democrats distribute their delegates proportionally, rather than fight, Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg took whatever they were offered as payoff and...

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer tweeted out the same thing in a fearmongering message that’s so over the top.

If authentic, CNN’s memo explaining why Candy Crowley permitted President Obama to speak four minutes more than Mitt Romney during Tuesday’s presidential debate is devastating to that network: On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly.

Candy Crowley, the moderator of the presidential debate at Hofstra University on October 16, interfered in this U.S. presidential race in a way no one ever has before and—let’s hope—no one ever will again. Crowley loudly validated President Barack Obama’s version of reality—and contradicted Governor Mitt Romney’s recollection of actual reality—regarding what the president said in the Rose Garden about what happened in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2011. During the debate President Obama said he called the murder of four Americans an act of terrorism. Romney said he didn’t. Crowley said he did. And Crowley told them they had...

It turns out that Bill Clinton's "mega-hyped handshake with prodigal aide George Stephanopoulos" at a Manhattan restaurant was "as choreographed as a Bob Fosse routine" and "completely eighth-grade," the New York Observer reported Monday. The newspaper said "the fix was in." And apparently New York City's elites have waaaay too much time on their hands. "Not only did Mr. Stephanopoulos know Mr. Clinton was going to be there, but some media insiders got a heads-up that The Big Handshake was about to happen — and promptly booked tables so they could be there to witness it." Michael’s restaurant knew that...
