WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers turned the tables on House impeachment managers on Friday, trolling them with footage of Democrats over and over vowing to “fight” or “fight back” against Trump and Republicans to highlight their alleged “hypocrisy.” Impeachment managers used a series of CCTV videos of the Jan. 6 riot to show just how close pro-Trump marauders came to lawmakers and clips of Trump’s speeches to allege he had a history of encouraging violence. But the former president’s counsel came right back at them during their first day of arguments on Friday, accusing them of selectively quoting...

One of the lesser-known tanks of the Second World War is the M22 Locust, a small, three-man tank that was intended to fly with airborne troops and augment their firepower on the ground. M22 Locust: A History In order to keep up with troops in the air, it was assumed that a small tank should be towed behind an airplane inside a glider.

"With great power comes even greater responsibility." Though this maxim most-likely was born in French politics of the 18th century, it very much applies to our elected officials in the 21st century. But, far from just a hopeful, high-minded missive, in our system of government there are actually built-in laws and rules that require this “greater responsibility“ from our political leaders--our ethics laws. Though not nearly as high-profile as votes, floor speeches, and TV interviews, Members must be aware they are now governed by a set of rules designed to ensure integrity and transparency and it's critical they follow them....

The mainstream media reported that two Capitol “rioters” told the FBI that an officer told them, “It’s your house now,” as rioters stormed the Capitol building on January 6. According to a complaint by the DOJ filed Thursday, Bobby Bauer and Jenny Bauer were identified after an unknown caller tipped the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center. The anonymous caller knew that Bauer had posted photographs of the event to a Facebook account called “BobtheBauer,” the complaint said. According to the caller, one image showed Bauer “inside the U.S. Capitol building giving the middle finger to the camera.” On January 8,...

Sharon Smith has to plunge her toilet to get it to flush. On rainy days, wastewater spills into her yard from nearby drainage ditches. Twice in the last year her house has flooded, leaving behind the sickening smell of sewage, she said. Her carpets are ruined, the floorboards are buckling, the bathroom wall is pulling away from the tub, she said. In the laundry room, the worst-hit part of the house, the smell of mold lingers. “I want to move, because this flooding is ridiculous,” said Smith, 59. For decades, residents of Centreville, a nearly all-Black town of 5,000 in...

As soon as his Senate impeachment trial ends, former President Donald Trump plans to get back in public, according to his team. With few social media avenues open to him, that will require Trump to get out personally. But he’s got a plan — and a "list."

We’re also told that his support network, including his sons, will campaign against the 10 Republicans in the revenge campaign. One...

The reaction was as sweeping as it was swift. In a moment of time, TV and movie star Gina Carano was fired by Disney from her role on The Mandalorian and dropped by her talent agency. What did she do to deserve such harsh treatment? In a social media post, she compared societal hatred in America today because of one’s political views with societal hatred of the Jews in Nazi Germany before the Nazis implemented their maniacal extermination plan. For that, she was canceled.This is what Carano posted (before deleting the tweets on Wednesday): “Jews were beaten in the streets,...

The covid recommendations from the brilliant sciency-people at the CDC have turned to a comedic level. From one mask to two.. to three, they are now recommending, and I swear I’m not making this up, that we wear panty hose on our faces. We’ve reached epic level stupid. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has finally recognized that the masks they’ve had everyone wearing for the better part of a year are largely ineffective because aerosols easily go around the top and sides.

Nancy Pelosi is the chief executive of Congress with her job as Speaker. She is in charge of the Capitol Hill police. Who do you think told the police to break the protocol of requiring everyone entering the Capitol Building to go thru the X-ray machine and that backpacks are forbidden? The only person who could have done that was Nancy. Another part of the protocol is the whole ticketing system that requires any visitors entering the Capitol Building, the White House and the Capitol Hill Museum to request tickets from their Congressman 2 to 3 months in advance of...

A Philadelphia elementary school recently forced fifth-grade students to celebrate “black communism” and simulate a Black Power rally in honor of political radical Angela Davis. According to whistleblower documents and a source within the school, a fifth-grade teacher at the inner-city William D. Kelley School designed a social studies curriculum to celebrate Davis, praising the “black communist” for her fight against “injustice and inequality.” As part of the lesson, the teacher asked students to “describe Davis’ early life,” reflect on her vision of social change, and “define communist”—presumably in favorable terms. At the conclusion of the unit, the teacher led...

Last year, the American Ornithological Society accepted a proposal to rename a bird linked to a racist figure. And there's more where that came from. ast summer, amid a national reckoning with systemic racism, the American Ornithological Society (AOS) accepted a proposal to rename McCown’s longspur, a grassland bird that was originally named after Confederate general John Porter McCown. The species is now called the thick-billed longspur. It marked the first time the organization agreed to change a bird’s name because it was racially offensive. That proposal, along with ongoing conversations about racial injustice, inspired Maryland-based ornithologists and birders Jordan...
