Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told members of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Wednesday Republicans could win back the House and Senate if they embrace former President Donald Trump’s “working-class base.” Christie spoke to members of the conservative RSC, explaining how Republicans could win elections by embracing the issues most important to the United States’ working class.

With no warning, a Texas man shot a police officer multiple times and fled from the scene of the traffic stop. The officer is currently in stable condition and the suspect is in custody. A Burleson, Texas, police officer pulled over a vehicle with an “equipment violation” early Wednesday morning. As the officer approached the passenger side door, someone inside the vehicle opened fire — without warning. The suspect fired through the window and struck the officer multiple times, NBCDFW reported. The shooting took place near Burleson High School at about 4:15 a.m. Burleson is located a few miles south...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi does not support the effort by her fellow Democratic congressional leaders to expand the Supreme Court from nine justices to 13 — and will not bring such a bill to the floor for a vote, she said Thursday. Pelosi made the revelation while during her weekly press conference, offering a stark “No” after being asked about the measure being introduced to expand the nation’s highest bench.

Wars often arise from uncertainty. When strong countries appear weak, truly weaker ones take risks they otherwise would not. Sloppy braggadocio and serial promises of restraint can trigger wars, too. Empty tough talk can needlessly egg on aggressors. But mouthing utopian bromides convinces bullies that their targets are too sophisticated to counter aggression. Sometimes announcing "a new peace process" without any ability to bring either novel concessions or pressures only raises false hopes -- and furor. Every new American president is tested to determine whether the United States can still protect friends such as Europe, Japan, South Korea and Israel....

After being unexpectedly let go by Fox News, anchor Lou Dobbs has responded to the news of his firing from the network. Dobbs took to Twitter and shared an ominous message that appears to suggest he has moved on and may have other plans in the future. Here’s what Lou said: "Ready to turn the page—and start a new chapter #Dobbs." (Tweet in the story)

[They’ve emphasized the sensitivity of their reports so I’ve redacted this pretty significantly. But I think it’s important for people to understand what is going on. I’m getting a steady flow of reports like these from different locations describing relief work among defecting police/soldiers/government officials, refugees on the run, fighting in many areas, torture and human rights abuses by the military junta, involvement by the Chinese government and so on. Note the testimony below describing Chinese/military exploitation of tribal areas. This is done without concern or recompense to the local people, who are often enslaved or have their homes destroyed...

This was quite the segment on Hannity. On Wednesday night Sean Hannity invited both Dan Bongino and Geraldo on to continue their discussion on the police shooting of Daunte Wright. During the exchange Bongino left Geraldo speechless — A FIRST! After he slammed him for race-baiting following the accidental shooting by Officer kimberly Potter. Bongino laid him out SO HARD that Geraldo was temporarily stunned and speechless! Then later in the exchange Dan Bongino accused Geraldo of stirring up racial angst and “wanting the country to burn.” That’s when Geraldo LOST IT and screamed, “You son of a bitch!...

Bar pies are the ideal pizza for those who love thin crusts, and while making them from scratch is doable, sometimes you just need that pizza NOW. Far from being a compromise, tortilla-based pizzas are in fact the ideal quick and easy way to make a super-crisp, extra-thin crust for a full-on pizza experience in under 15 minutes from start to finish.

...In this essay, I hope to outline a few factors that I think offer a partial analysis of how this societal virus escaped the university lab. I don’t really mean to be so narrow, though, as to insist that the university is the only relevant “lab” or to imply that the media and activists were merely vectors, as we shall see. Reaching back even into the 1960s, radical leftist thinkers, notably including the very famous Herbert Marcuse, were writing that a fusion between the radical outsiders, racial minorities, and leftist intelligentsia (itself a loaded and important term) were to...

Congressional Democrats will introduce legislation Thursday to expand the Supreme Court from nine to 13 justices, joining progressive activists pushing to transform the court.The move intensifies a high-stakes ideological fight over the future of the court after President Donald Trump and Republicans appointed three conservative justices in four years, including one who was confirmed days before the 2020 election. The Democratic bill is led by Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts and Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. It is co-sponsored by Reps. Hank Johnson of Georgia and Mondaire Jones of New York.The Supreme...

Former President Barack Obama is returning to the public limelight to give the Biden administration a much-needed booster. Joe Biden, who is clearly disconnected and often absent of knowing what is going on, continues to shy away from unscripted exchanges with reporters. So now, Obama's "star power" to rescue a major Biden administration program with a "celebrity tour."

He loves trains and wants to spend $80 billion for rail projects in his $2.2 trillion infrastructure goal, but today, a top GOP lawmaker is flashing a yellow warning light at President Joe Biden’s plan, citing the example of a massive boondoggle and decades-delayed “shovel ready” project. In the latest uncovering of federal pork for her "Make 'em Squeal" award, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst pointed to a long-delayed and over-budget 20-mile rail project in Hawaii to caution a rush to spend federal tax dollars freely in infrastructure projects touted as ready to go by local governments. “This rail service began...

America's foremost race-baiter latches onto latest opportunity to distract black voters from the unmitigated carnage Democrats have foisted on generations of urban Americans Barack Obama claimed on Twitter that his “heart is heavy” over the fatal Minneapolis police shooting of Daunte Wright, an unarmed 20-year-old black man who resisted arrest. I’m calling BS on that claim. America’s foremost race-baiter I believe Obama is thrilled every time an unarmed black person is killed by police. Why? Because each such killing is a fresh opportunity for him to advance the obscene narrative that America’s law enforcement community is replete with racist cops...

It is up to “We the People” to re-affirm what it means to be an American, and what America means The hypocrisy and pseudo-compassion of the mega-corporations in conspiring against the state of Georgia has been on display since the state strengthened its election laws, and was heightened by the MLB retreat and removal of this year’s much acclaimed All-Star Game from the beleaguered state. At the core of this there exists an arrogance that only the despotic-minded, yet woke corporate elitists would be able to conjure up. Using the excuse of the Georgia election, MLB pulled the All-Star Game...

President Donald Trump and his supporters filed dozens of legal cases challenging the 2020 election results, submitting volumes of evidence and sworn testimony from eyewitnesses to fraud. Legacy media personalities are very fond of saying all of those cases failed. In fact, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos earlier berated Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., with, “No election is perfect. But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed. Every state certified the results. Can’t you just say the words, this election was not stolen?” The senator pointed out at that time that problems simply weren’t...

Question of whether or not to unseal the actual paper ballots The experts together have...

The mainstream media and Big Tech have labeled anyone that does not go along with the mainstream narrative as “wild conspiracy theorists that are a danger to society.” To combat this imaginary enemy, they’ve resorted to cancelling us, completely deplatforming us off of their platforms. The idea is that if we don’t have a voice on their platforms, they can limit our ability to spread “harmful disinformation.” However, with the Pentagon announcing they’ve got a microchip to be administered through vaccines and it’s now proven that the COVID-19 vaccines DO have side effects, will Facebook, Twitter and YouTube allow us...

Moscow on Thursday expressed outrage at new sanctions the Biden administration imposed as retribution for the SolarWinds hack it attributes to Russia's foreign intelligence service, saying it would respond in kind. The threat comes as relations between the two powers reach dangerous levels of tension. "We consider them illegal," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Thursday morning in response to news reports about the sanctions but before the administration had formally announced them, according to a translation. "The principle of reciprocity in this matter, reciprocity, is in effect, so that we can ensure our best interests."
