BREAKING: Biden DOJ notifies President Trump that he will be indicted next week. DOJ declines to delay charges to allow an investigation into witness tampering. There is a link to a podcast that I am not posting here.

The 2015 death of Murdaugh-linked Stephen Smith is now considered to be a murder, South Carolina authorities revealed — ahead of the planned exhumation of the gay teen’s body. The state law enforcement division had been waiting to drop the bombshell development until after the Alex Murdaugh double murder trial wrapped up and the ensuing drama quieted down, Bland Richter Law Firm announced Tuesday. “SLED officials have revealed that they did not need to exhume Stephen Smith’s body to convince them that his death was a homicide,” said Charleston attorneys Eric Bland and Ronnie Richter, who were retained by Smith’s...

The media have been quick to rubbish Attorney General Merrick Garland for his failure so far to indict former President Trump over the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. They have tarred him with epithets worthy of Trump himself, such as "Merrick the Mild" and "Merrick the Meek." And a host of former prosecutors and law professors have criticized his inaction, saying that Garland needs to indict Trump to vindicate the rule of law. We don't know for certain, but it appears that Garland's Justice Department has yet to convene a grand jury to investigate the affair. Were they...

The founder of a pro-Trump social media campaign aimed at steering Democrats away from their party pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor in connection to his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot. Brandon Straka pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, which has a maximum jail sentence of six months, while another charge, impeding law enforcement during civil disorder, was dropped by prosecutors, The Washington Post reported. In return for the reduced charges, Straka will be required to sit down for an interview with federal authorities and provide any evidence that could help officials in their investigations, including social media posts,...

A militia group planned to violently depose Michigan’s government and abduct Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), the FBI said in a federal affidavit filed Thursday. "Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit, obtained by the Detroit News. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message." Federal prosecutors plan to make a fuller statement on the alleged plot later Thursday, according to the newspaper. At least five men have been charged in connection with the alleged plot,...

You may be interested in this bizarre and frightening Obama-Police State story. A friend of mine was arrested the night before the huge 9/12 march in Washington. Her crime? Taking down a cheap Obama poster in a crummy little restaurant in Washington, DC. She was charged with FELONY destruction of property, cuffed, and thrown in jail. On Monday, Jan 4 - in a kangaroo court in Washington - my friend was pronounced guilty by Judge Henry F. Greene. The judge's politically-motivated decision was based primarily upon false testimony delivered by one of the Mexican kitchen workers. The sentencing will take...

On Wednesday, I reported on the outrageous indictment of American Patriot Richard Convertino. I also linked to a longer version of my previous New York Post column about what's really going on here (Justice Dept. and U.S. Attorney's Office pandering to Muslim Extremists). Now, Rick Convertino's wife, the lovely Valerie Convertino, has an excellent op-ed piece in today's Detroit Free Press. (I disagree with her about Joe Wilson and his wife, but the rest I know to be true.) This is Val's second, well-said Free Press column on the topic. (Her first Free Press Op-Ed, regarding the events behind this...

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Federal agents seized what they believe were six land mines from a storage unit leased by a Raleigh man and former Fort Bragg soldier who was arrested last week in Halifax County, Virginia, for having homemade bomb and an assault rifle. A search warrant made public Monday said the storage unit was one of two that contained explosives. The other unit was in Danville, Va. Christopher F. Kent, 29, was arrested Thursday in Virginia. Kent was detained when an investigator with the Halifax County Sheriffs Office encountered him inside a 1997 Honda Accord on the side of...
