The harrowing cost of Congress certifying electoral fraud. “Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!” President Trump issued that statement early Thursday, and Democrats were quick to follow. Joe Biden said those who stormed the Capitol were “domestic...

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) on Friday likened President Donald Trump to a “cult leader.” MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough asked Kinzinger how his constituents have been taking his criticism of Trump and calls for his removal from office following the riots at the U.S. Capitol this week.

“Woke” as a term originated in the 1940s. Oxford Dictionaries recorded its early politically conscious usage in a 1962 article, "If You're Woke You Dig It" by William Melvin Kelley in The New York Times. The term has reared its ugly head again recently as a concept symbolizing perceived awareness of social issues and enlightened social movement. By the late 2010s, woke had been adopted as a generic slang term broadly associated with left-wing politics, social justice activism and progressive or socially liberal causes such as anti-racism. Many believe woke is simply a manifestation of adolescent consciousness and wannabe...

Progressives' malicious power grab escalates to the wickedest heights. A contingent of protestors invaded, vandalized and occupied portions of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th -- as the constitutional process of electoral college certification of the 2020 presidential election results was getting underway. The mob violence was an outright assault on the greatest constitutional republic in the world. But instead of making an effort to unite the country against such anarchy, the Left’s leaders and their friends in the establishment media are applying their usual double standard of “for thee, but not for me.” Not surprisingly, they are blaming President...

@RandPaul My thoughts and prayers go out to Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and his family. The Capitol police serve our nation well and this violence is inexcusable. [Links to NYT article]

A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. Where's Henry? the others asked. Henry had a stroke o' some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail, the successful hunter replied. You left Henry layin' out there and carried the deer back? they inquired. A tough call, nodded the hunter. But I figured no one's gonna steal Henry!

POTUS: The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has blamed President Donald Trump for violence in the American capital by some of his supporters, saying he was “completely wrong” to dispute the results of “a free and fair election”. “All my life America has stood for some very important things. An idea of freedom, an idea of democracy,” proclaimed Johnson, who was himself born in Manhattan, New York, and only renounced his U.S. citizenship around 2017.

Brian D. Sicknick collapsed when he returned to his division office Wednesday and was taken to the hospital, where he died Thursday, according to a Capitol Police news release Thursday night.

I heard an interview with Crenshaw on Tucker that was re-broadcast on my local radio station. Crenshaw claimed that what happened at the capitol was mostly the result of the right wing media lying to us about the January 6th electoral certification and giving us false hope. He stated there was never a chance that the election could have changed because it would not have been constitutional. According to Crenshaw, January 6th is nothing more than a ceremonial show and those of us who thought there was anything more to it then that were wildly misinformed. So apparently, Crenshaw believes...

Eddie Emerson worked his fly fishing pole back and forth, tossing his line into a pond in West Texas, searching for stocked trout and an answer to questions on how he felt about the storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. A backer of President Donald Trump, Emerson said he disliked the violence he saw on TV on Wednesday: people overturning barricades, clashing with police and swarming the building in Washington that houses the Senate and House of Representatives. Emerson expressed frustration with what he called the hypocrisy of those who condemned the riots but turned a blind eye...

Republican senators say they feel a sense of growing regret over not standing up to President Trump sooner — a day after a violent mob ransacked the Capitol building in one of the darkest and most humiliating days in U.S. history. One Republican senator who requested anonymity to discuss his conversations with GOP colleagues acknowledged GOP lawmakers should have served as a stronger check on the president over the past four years

Now that Democrats are poised to control the White House, Senate and House, the traditional game of finger-pointing and recrimination will begin inside the GOP. The first instinct for politicians will be to assign blame, call names and jockey for position. But the 2020 election wasn't just an election, it was a political watershed in which the rules and strategy for winning were rewritten. The November election (and Tuesday’s Georgia curtain call) wasn't won and lost by the tactics, spending, individual players and messaging in the weeks before Nov. 3, according to interviews conducted with more than three dozen frontline...

Hopefully, it doesn’t happen. Hopefully, we are never forced into a bad situation that requires us to rely on a firearm. However, if it ever does come to that, you need to know that you have the tools to put food on the table, keep predators at bay, and defend what is yours. Thankfully, some of these tools are already available to you. I’ve put together a list of five of the most popular utility guns that are reliable, durable, and available on the market. When the going gets tough, these guns will not let you down, and they won’t...

Yesterday. It was 4 P.M. Carol turned off cable news and picked up her phone. She announced there would be an emergency club meeting. It was “URGENT!” she texted her friends. It was urgent because within Carol’s 73 years, she has never seen anything more disheartening than the events she saw unfolding in Washington D.C. that afternoon. “This country needs healing,” says Carol. “Just like any sick person would.” Carol is no stranger to healing. She leads the quintessential small-town church prayer group. These are elderly women who get things done. The older ladies have been getting together for 18...

Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) will take the helm of the Senate committee that oversees education as Democrats effectively take control of that chamber with a 50-50 split with Republicans. Murray will replace retired Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), with whom she wrote the massive legislation called the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaced the Bush-era No Child Left Behind.
