WASHINGTON, D.C—In an effort to be bipartisan, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has selected House Republican Hilliard Clintock for the January 6th Committee. Well known for his unbiased, objective assessment, Hilliard Clintock is expected to keep the committee on track. “We must retain the confidence of the American people!” said Nancy Pelosi. “I can think of no person better than Hilliard Clintock. We can’t have someone biased with a strong vendetta against Trump or his followers on this council.” “Clintock is a serious, fact pursuing congressman who will ensure the investigation is carried out fairly,” Pelosi added. “He’s definitely not someone...

U.S. Capitol cops and DC Metropolitan Police officers called rioters 'terrorists', attacked Republicans who have downplayed January 6 and recalled the 'medieval battle' they faced during the first hearing of the select committee on Tuesday.

President Joe Biden surrendered to more coronavirus restrictions, just days after corporate media continued pressing the White House for more masking and vaccine mandates. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will reportedly recommend that even fully vaccinated people wear masks indoors again in places with high coronavirus infection rates. The reported decision reverses the CDC’s move in May to lift national masking mandates that kicked off an effort by the Biden team to declare substantial progress in fighting the virus. While many state and local Republican officials have used their own discretion to restrict mask and vaccination mandates,...

In the Brave New World of “Woke” Perfection, you won’t be allowed to keep your air conditioning. Personal air conditioning represents racism and “white supremacy.” It opposes social, economic, and environmental justice. Even as summer’s hottest months approach.So implies Eric Dean Wilson, an instructor and graduate student at the City University of New York. In a recent article for Time magazine, Wilson wrote about how air conditioning will destroy the planet. His essay shows how such “woke” dogmas as critical race theory, equity, and the condemnation of both capitalism and “white supremacy” meet in another “woke” doctrine: environmental extremism.Wilson has...

NEW ORLEANS — When COVID-19 infection rates started dipping nationwide, Tyshauna Collins-Buy started getting lax on mask-wearing. But now that the delta variant is prompting another surge in cases, she's covering her face more these days. "I almost felt like if you hadn't had COVID yet, you're not going to get it," said Collins-Buy, who has been visiting New Orleans from Tampa and heard Cantrell introduce her advisory Wednesday. "But I just learned about the variant, so I'm going to go back to wearing it."

[Catholic Caucus] Father de Tanoüarn, IBP: "It is Francis who contradicts communion. We are witnessing a rare case where the pope destroys communion." Father Guillaume de Tanoüarn, one of the priests who involved in the foundation of the Institute of the Good Shepherd (IBP), established by pontifical authority in the days of Pope Benedict XVI, is a well-known figure in conservative circles in France, and in Paris in particular, where his apostolate has been located for over a decade. He spoke to French website L'Incorrect on Francis' edict against the Latin Mass.Were you surprised by the suddenness and severity...

If you listen to Democrats, or the mainstream media (but I repeat myself), you’d think the resistance many have to taking the COVID vaccine is clustered among Republicans, religious conservatives, and other deplorables. Interesting to see this idiosyncratic chart showing vaccine rates by religious affiliation—and notice which group comes in last. [CHARTS] I guess there are lots of atheists in vax-holes. This connects with an observation I saw somewhere that yoga instructors seem to be over-represented among anti-vaxxers. Meanwhile, the good people at the Committee to Unleash Prosperity reminds us of just who is was who started promoting mass distrust...

Supposed “Republican” Oklahoma Rep. Markwayne Mullin appeared on C-SPAN to commend the Capitol police officer who shot and killed unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt in the Capitol on January 6. “After it happened, he came over,” Mullin told C-SPAN. “He was physically and emotionally distraught. I actually gave him a hug and I said, ‘sir, you did what you had to do.'” Mullin went on to suggest that Babbitt, who he refused to name, was going to steal the officer’s gun and use it against him. C-Span is currently running a series on the Capitol protest, with interviews from...
