Speaker Pelosi’s dream of relitigating the January 6th Capitol riots until the mid-term elections is over. The U.S. Senate just delivered a back-breaking rejection of the “independent” commission that was hand-selected by Nancy Pelosi. “A crucial Senate vote on a bill to create an independent inquiry to investigate the deadly January 6 Capitol Hill riot failed Friday, falling short of the 10 Republican votes needed to advance and illustrating GOP efforts to move on from the insurrection that left five people dead and injured 140 police officers,” CNN reported. “The vote was 54 to 35, showing the bill had a...

President Trump sat down with TGP Contributor Wayne Allyn Root this week for an exclusive interview on his nationally- syndicated radio show, “Wayne Allyn Root: Raw & Unfiltered” on USA Radio Network. During their discussion, President Trump was asked about the ongoing forensic audits taking place in several states today. President Trump’s response will undoubtedly spread panic in liberal media circles. President Trump: “I think, well frankly, I think there’s gonna be a big problem because when people find out that all of these states are gonna flip, does that mean you go three-and-a-half years with somebody that is destroying...

A Facebook whistleblower has gone public amid his suspension for leaking documents. On Thursday, Morgan Kahmann said telling Americans about the social media giant’s censorship of vaccine hesitant posts is more important than keeping his job. This comes after he went undercover in a Project Veritas video and outlined Facebook’s algorithm to “drastically reduce user exposure to vaccine hesitancy in comments.” Kauhmann said numerous employees share his concerns, but fear the consequences of speaking out. The then-Facebook staffer sounded the alarm on Big Tech censorship while outlining the tech company’s plan regarding vaccine talk on the platform. The data technician...

(Archbishop Lefebvre Still Resists… Even from the Grave)Introduction by Michael MattLet’s go back ten years and imagine me telling readers of The Remnant that the day was coming when the pope would resign and be replaced by another, who soon thereafter would order every church in the world to close its doors, suspend Sunday obligation indefinitely, ban all private Masses in the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome and initiate a plan to abolish Summorum Pontificum worldwide.You would have cancelled your subscription to The Remnant, and rightfully so, its editor having obviously lost his...

Dr. Anthony Fauci once argued that conducting experiments on contagious viruses to increase their potency was worth the risk, even if the work could accidentally lead to a pandemic, it was revealed Friday. The nation’s chief medical advisor wrote in the American Society for Microbiology in October 2012 of the public health benefit to gain-of-function viral experiments — which center on manipulating viruses and making them stronger — as long as there is significant oversight.

The suspect accused of snatching a sleeping Dallas boy before allegedly killing him tried to kidnap another child just months earlier — but the girl’s grandfather decided not to press charges at the time, authorities say. Alleged psycho teen Darriynn Brown — who is suspected of kidnapping and murdering 4-year-old Cash Gernon earlier this month — had barged into the home of the girl’s granddad in February and was rummaging around when the older man chased him out with a kitchen knife, according to officials. Brown, 18, then returned to the home, kicking in the garage door and punching the...

A key measure of inflation accelerated to a faster-than-expected 3.1 percent annual gain in April, the Commerce Department reported Friday. The last time the core personal consumption expenditures index hit 3.1 percent was in May of 1992, when George H. W. Bush was president and inflation was still recovering from the stagflationary 1970s era. Federal Reserve officials consider core PCE inflation, which excludes food and energy, to be their primary gauge of price stability, one-half of the central’s bank’s core aims in formulating monetary policy. The other half is maximizing employment. Prices of many items fell last year as the...

This type of booster shot isn’t usually different than the original vaccine. Instead, it ensures your immune system is ready to respond if you are exposed to the virus.

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has torn into her colleagues who say they want to oppose the Capitol riot commission during a chaotic night in the chamber. 'We just can't pretend that nothing bad happened, or that people just got too excitable. Something bad happened. And it's important to lay that out,' Murkowski told reporters after a vote on the proposed commission was delayed on Thursday night after the Senate grinded to a halt. Overnight chaos in the Senate prevented the bill establishing a 9/11-style commission to investigate the January 6 Capitol attack from getting a vote to block a Republican-led...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday that the Biden Administration is 'looking closely' at requiring international travelers to have a vaccine passport if they want to travel in and out of the country. Mayorkas made the comment as 2.5 million Americans prepare to fly for Memorial Day Weekend, and after the White House provided repeated assurances the administration will not impose such a system. Asked if the nation could see vaccine passports either for people coming into the country or flying out, he told ABC's 'Good Morning America': 'We're taking a very close look at that.'

From the dumping of defoliants like Agent Orange on forests in Vietnam to oil wells set ablaze during the Gulf War and the contamination of the aquifers bombed in Gaza, environmental destruction has long been a byproduct of conflict. Less talked about is the impact of war and the military on the climate crisis. This is partly because military emissions have been largely exempted from international climate treaties, starting with the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. “The US military did not want to limit its supremacy by being constrained,” explained Neta C. Crawford, professor of political science at Boston University and co-director...

Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is receiving social media blowback for a recent post in which she expressed bewilderment that her local CVS drug store is taking anti-shoplifting measures by locking up basic products like laundry detergent. Cynthia Nixon — who ran unsuccessfully for New York governor in 2018 — tweeted her comment along with her disbelief shoplifting can be prosecuted as a crime. “As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,” she...

Paul Ryan doesn't get it. I'm not sure he ever did. Ryan made a speech at the Reagan Library condemning the populist appeal of Donald Trump. And here's the reality that we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we're not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence and mettle. They will not be impressed by the sight of yes-men and flatterers flocking to Mar-a-Lago. Let's look at a couple of definitions. First, populism populism NOUN support for the concerns of ordinary people....

One of the new terms which has come out of the rapidly intensifying talk of UFO sightings by U.S. Navy personnel and the upcoming government report on UFOs is “transmedium” – which refers to unidentified vehicles flying over, hovering above and diving into the ocean. While it has been noted many times that the transmedium UFOs or UAPs emerged from the water unexpectedly and never surfaced again after diving in, no one seemed to discuss the idea that they could be accompanied by, or in fact exist primarily as, unidentified ‘submersible’ objects (USOs) which should be tracked by Navy submarines...
