President Donald Trump expressed anger with Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) at a rally on Monday ahead of crucial U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia. The president appears to be unhappy with Lee's refusal to object to President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College win.

GOP pollster and strategist Frank Luntz believes that Democrats hold the upper hand in Tuesday’s Georgia Senate runoff elections, warning of disappointment for Republicans in those pivotal races and in Wednesday’s upcoming Electoral College presidential confirmation vote on Capitol Hill. “There is a greater divide in the Republican Party than there is in the Democratic Party,” Luntz said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Tuesday from Georgia. “The party is in the process of tearing itself apart and you don’t do that now, when you’re this close to the most important Senate election, literally, in a lifetime. Democrats...

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has been vocal about her intent to carry her weapon in the Capitol. Washington, D.C.'s police chief has issued a warning to freshman GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, who has been vocal about her intent to "carry" her gun on Capitol Hill. On the day of her swearing in, earlier this week, Boebert posted a fundraising video to her Twitter page promising to "always stand strong for our 2nd Amendment rights." "That congresswoman, whoever it is, I guess it was from Colorado, will be subjected to the same penalties as anyone else that’s caught on the District of...

The Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) program is a U.S. Army initiative that has a lot on its plate: replace both the M4 carbine as well as the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon with a rifle and automatic rifle. Not only that, but the NGSW competition also wants to incorporate a new intermediate caliber rifle cartridge too–and Textron has some interesting ideas on how to win this big contract. How Textron Is Approaching the Competition Textron is joined by SIG Sauer and General Dynamics in NGSW program participation, and one of the three bids should be selected sometime this year. The...

BEIJING—The former chairman of China Huarong Asset Management Co. has been sentenced to death, a court in the northern city of Tianjin said on Jan. 5, in one of the country’s highest-profile corruption cases. Lai Xiaomin was convicted of receiving or seeking bribes totaling 1.788 billion yuan ($276.72 million) from 2008 to 2018, when he was also a senior banking regulator, according to the Secondary Intermediate People’s Court of Tianjin. Lai, who was expelled from the ruling Communist Party in 2018, was also convicted on a charge of bigamy. Chinese authorities alleged that Lai extorted bribes, colluded with others to...

AUK court has rejected Washington’s aggressive attempt to drag Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the United States to face unprecedented charges of espionage, but that doesn’t mean the travails of the free information outlaw are over. Nor does it stop the chilling effect that his prosecution has had on free speech or the press. “This is a loaded gun pointed right at journalists,” charged Marjorie Cohn, law professor and former president of the National Lawyers Guild, speaking on a panel Monday.

The leader of the Proud Boys activist group has been arrested on misdemeanor destruction of property charges relating to the burning of a Black Lives Matter flag from a historic black church during protests in December. Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the group, was also charged with possessing a high-capacity feeding device after police found two clips of ammunition in his possession. Tarrio could receive up to 180 days in prison and be fined $1,000. The prosecutors may be hesitating in charging Tarrio with a hate crime because Mr. Tarrio happens to be black (he “identifies” as Afro-Cuban). Charging a black...

Gun violence spiked across the country in 2020, the most violent year in decades. 19,000 were killed in shootings, the highest death toll in 20 years (and that does not include gun suicides). Mass shootings — defined as four or more shot in an incident — also rose drastically to over 600. Chicago’s 769 homicides in 2020 were, according to ABC News, “more homicides than in all but one year in more than two decades.” The 4,033 shooting victims were also drastically higher. The spike in Chicago was echoed in other big cities like Detroit, Washington, D.C., New York and...

Monday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) warned of dire consequences if Republicans fail to hold on to the two U.S. Senate seats up in Georgia on Tuesday. Roy told Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson the division in the country could escalate from the current state of “cold civil war” to “full-scale hot.” “[T]he American people are rightfully angry,” he said. “The American people are angry about big government, but they’re also angry about Big Tech. They’re angry about corporations that are stomping all over small businesses, local governments that are shutting down small businesses and...

Just before the end of 2020, California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara issued an order stating that insurance companies cannot refuse to pay for a minor girl’s mastectomy just because she isn’t 18 yet. He reached this conclusion by defining the surgical removal of healthy breasts and the “creation of a male chest” as medically “necessary” for girls suffering from gender dysphoria (the painful sense of identifying with the gender opposite their biological sex) rather than “cosmetic.” This means that a gender dysphoric girl’s healthy chest would be considered “abnormal” if she identifies as male. “For far too long, individuals diagnosed...

Georgia Democrat candidate for the US Senate Jon Ossoff touted his "international support" as a reason for voters to elect him on January 5th. Among his benefactors are Chinese businesses and al-Jazeeraa. Ossoff contends that "these connections make me especially well-qualified to serve in the Senate. The Constitution gives the US Senate special powers for dealing with foreign affairs. All treaties, for example must be submitted to the Senate for approval before they become the law of the land." "More important, though, is the fact that by having China in my corner I am better positioned than my opponent to...

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) introduced legislation Monday to create national reciprocity for concealed carry license holders. Hudson’s legislation, the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (HR38), would treat concealed carry licenses like driver’s licenses, recognizing the license from one state as valid in the other 49. This would allow the licensee to cross state lines with his or her firearm, knowing it was legal for them to be armed for self-defense just as it is legal for them to drive a car in a state other than their state of residence.

The charge that sex designations on a birth certificate is medically ill-advised stands contrary to even the most basic understanding of science.Many folks these days treat science not as a method for discovering truth, but as an undeniable, transcendent truth in and of itself. Yet these same folks fail to appreciate that some of the most dramatic and passionate attacks on science come from their compadres on the far left: gender theorists.A vivid demonstration of this fact has just been published in the New England Journal of Medicine, formerly one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals. In their December...

If democracy dies in darkness, as the Washington Post proclaims, the corporate media giants are the ones flipping off the lights. By doing so, those giants help a nation that seeks to destroy the United States. The Post, the New York Times, CNN, NBCUniversal and many other large media corporations forged business relationships with Chinese companies. Those companies are affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Meanwhile, major outlets participate in a cultural-exchange program funded by that party. As a result, those outlets mold opinion to fit their own interests, not the public’s. “You often see representatives from American companies...
