Since the Capitol insurrection, Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson has repeatedly interviewed Thomas Caldwell, who was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday on charges of seditious conspiracy for his role in coordinating the Oath Keepers' attack, Media Matters reported. Caldwell first joined "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in October 2021. During his appearance, he said he never entered the Capitol and was not part of the Oath Keepers, a far-right, anti-government paramilitary organization, according to Media Matters.

While most can understand why a homeowner would return fire after a group of masked young men shot at him, relatives of the boys were quick to come forward to say “these little teens” didn’t deserve it.

Further to the state of our world as discussed with David Starkey and Douglas Murray on the Friday Mark Steyn Show, here is a rather too obvious bit of symbolism. A decade ago - January 13th 2012 - the cruise ship Costa Concordia sank off the coast of Tuscany. As you can read below, Abe Greenwald more or less taunted me that I would be unable to resist the awesome metaphorical power, and so I rose to the occasion. I think the column holds up pretty well, especially the latter half on manhood and manly virtues, both of which are...

For several years now, advocates of “decarbonizing” our energy system, along with promoters of wind and solar energy, have claimed that the cost of electricity from the wind and sun was dropping rapidly and either already was, or soon would be, less than the cost of generating the same electricity from fossil fuels. These claims are generally based on a metric called the “Levelized Cost of Energy,” which is designed to seem sophisticated to the uninitiated, but in the real world is completely misleading because it omits the largest costs of a system where most generation comes from intermittent sources....

Paging Sigmund Freud: STAT! Sick Steve Schmidt needs help! Friday afternoon on his friend Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC shot Deadline: White House, the former McCain presidential campaign head-turned-Trump-hating liberal and co-found of the disgraced Lincoln Project indulged a sick fantasy about House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Describing the House GOP leader as "among the most villainous figures that have been in the history of the American republic," sick Schmidt fantasized McCarthy handcuffed, and locked in a basement!Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The remarkable aspect to this announcement is the openness of DirecTV’s admission. Following on the heels of the demand from the White House to start blocking content against the interests of the Biden administration, DirecTV the satellite television communication company now part of the AT&T network, has announced their decision to drop the One America News Network (OANN) channel because OAN is perceived to be supportive of Donald Trump. (Bloomberg) – DirecTV, one of the largest U.S. pay-TV providers, plans to drop One America News Network, dealing a major blow to the conservative channel that’s been criticized for spreading misinformation...

What do tyrants do when their ship is sinking or, more accurately, when they realize that their house of cards will not hold up? They divert their populace by starting a war — or at least allowing one to happen. War isn't simply a way of diverting attention, either. The very fact of a war emergency makes it far easier to erode or negate whatever civil liberties still exist. Think: PATRIOT Act. Currently, war beckons in two places: the Russian-European border and the South China Sea and Taiwan. I'm not saying that either Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping is an...

The man suspected of murdering a 19-year-old Burger King employee earlier this week ranted about social justice and demanded reparations as police officers escorted him out of an East Harlem police station. Winston Glynn, 30, is accused of murdering 19-year-old Burger King employee Kristal Bayron-Nieves during a robbery in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Liel Leibovitz, a senior writer for Tablet Magazine and host of the Unorthodox podcast, told The Epoch Times that in the last few years he has found himself, “politically homeless,” falling out with his circle of people because he challenged their views. Leibovitz is the author of the popular Tablet essay on this topic, “The Turn: When I saw the left give up everything I believe in, I changed politically. You can, too.” “The turn is the moment when you kind of begin to understand, a little bit like that movie The Matrix, that everything you assumed was the very...

The international climate alarmist industry comprises a number of special interests. There are the activists, fundamentally anti-human and deeply disingenuous, demanding that billions of the global poor suffer and die in order that the planet be “saved.” There are the “experts” in pursuit of bigger budgets and “research” grants. There are the editors of the peer-reviewed journals, transforming “science” into a propaganda exercise. There are the bureaucrats massively expanding their budgets and powers, the politicians seeking to transfer ever more wealth, and the journalists desperate to produce clickbait even as they remain invincible in their ignorance. There are the official...

President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to push his police reform agenda via an executive order as early as this month. The executive actions are still being finalized, according to NBC News, but are expected to be rolled out at the start of Black History Month in February as the administration tries to achieve policy goals leading up to the president’s State of the Union address in March.

Pray For The Peace of JerusalemActs 1313 1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off._______________________________________________________God Bless America.ML/LTOS

In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought FAT portions from some of the FIRSTBORN of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. SO CAIN WAS VERY ANGRY, and his face was downcast. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry?...

He’s male. He’s Scandinavian. He’s considered by some as “too masculine” and “too aggressive.” And now, he might be getting canned. No, I don’t mean me. I’m talking about Victor E. Viking, who has been the mascot at Western Washington University in Bellingham for 99 years. According to a report from June of 2021, WWU’s Legacy Review Taskforce is “concerned about the harm caused by asking all members of the Western community to identify with a figure that is potentially exclusive on the basis of both ethnicity and gender.” Already, in December, the task force convinced the university’s Board of...

Syria on Wednesday joined China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which experts said is a great achievement of the BRI as it now has connected with the whole Middle East, demonstrating its influence and appeal. The achievement comes after Chinese President Xi Jinping's phone conversation with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in November, 2021 and Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi's visit to Syria in July, last year. It also comes amid intensive visits of six other Middle East countries' foreign ministers to China. The move also demonstrates that China is playing an increasingly important role in coordinating the...

Former President Donald Trump ripped into outgoing Republican Arizona Governor Doug Ducey on Friday after “hearing rumors” that Ducey may run for the U.S. Senate. Trump wrote in a statement, “Rumors are that Doug Ducey, the weak RINO Governor from Arizona, is being pushed by Old Crow Mitch McConnell to run for the U.S. Senate. He will never have my endorsement or the support of MAGA Nation!”

Europe’s largest economy, Germany, is expected to become a net importer of electricity in 2023 for the first time since 2002 due to retiring coal plants and the nuclear phase-out, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Friday. Germany plans to switch off all its remaining nuclear power generators by the end of 2022, while it will also retire a large portion of its coal-fired capacity fleet between 2022 and 2024. Recently, the country has said it would aim to phase out coal by 2030 – eight years ahead of earlier plans. The coal exit for Germany could be more...
