Biden’s Justice Department relies on the Beltway trifecta—partisan federal judges, news outlets, and prospective jurors—to codify its punitive prosecution and criminalize political dissent. he first set of trials for the hundreds of protesters charged in the Justice Department’s sweeping criminal investigation into January 6 begins later this month. Since the Capitol building is considered the scene of the crime, every trial will be held in the District of Columbia—which means the jury pool will be composed solely of residents living in the nation’s capital. To say this is a problem for Trump supporters facing even minor charges is a huge...

PITTSBURGH -- Word travels fast in places like this city's iconic small-business district filled with third- and fourth-generation family-owned businesses, the majority of which are centered on two things: relationships and food. Relationships and food, but not politics. At least not usually, thank goodness. The relationships come not just from the generational loyalty of people repeating what their grandparents and parents did, but they also grow here because of robust word of mouth. Relationships also form when someone you trust recommends a business. And the food here in the Strip District isn't just about the restaurants. It is also the...

Angry truckers have lashed out at Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau after members of their convoy protest were arrested and charged with hate crimes during another weekend of unrest in the country's capital city. They have also strongly denied that they have ties to ultra-right-wing groups, insisting they are just 'ordinary truckers.' 'It's intimidation, nothing else,' Freedom Convoy protestor Guy Meister told DailyMail.com on Monday. 'We are just a bunch of hard working truck drivers who are out here protesting the government's covid mandates. We aren't political, we are the working class.' James Doull, 24, a diesel mechanic who is...

There’s a global war taking place, visiting every nation, every state and I believe that we, humans, are on the verge of reordering society for a thousand years, if we can get out of our own way enough to accomplish it. The blitzkrieg warfare of the globalists didn’t work exactly as they had planned. Perhaps the pandemic wasn’t as deadly as they had hoped it would be, or it took too long to manifest and a significant percentage got wise to it early enough to establish resistance. What we do know is that they had to lie to inflate the...

Progressive control of the U.S. educational system, operating secretly via entrenched bureaucrats and cooperating elected officials, rules the classrooms of America. Progressive control of the U.S. educational system, operating secretly via entrenched bureaucrats and cooperating elected officials, has been exposed by incidents in Loudoun County. In ither words, the deep state rules the classrooms of America. A major factor effecting the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election (and destined to affect the 2022 midterm elections) is the public’s reaction to progressive control of the educational system. This control had been successfully concealed by the major media until an incident at a Loudoun...

Even the laws of physics must be suspended in order for Democrat plans and worldviews to make sense. There isn't a chasm separating Democrats and Republicans, but an alternate universe. Hillary Clinton, who probably believes she is president in an alternate universe, accused Trump of living in an alternate reality. More recently, W.H. press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed concerns about crime as part of an alternate universe. Psaki, well practiced in conjuring her own peculiar reality, actually accused Fox News of being in an alternate universe. Huh? Fox News ratings have dominated for a remarkable twenty years. It is actually...

President Biden's Health and Human Services department is finalizing funding to dole out crack pipes to drug addicts as part of its Harm Reduction Plan. The $30 million grant program will begin doling out money in May to provide funds to nonprofits and local governments to make drug use safer and to advance racial equity. Included in the grant is money to purchase safe smoking kits/supplies. A spokesperson for HHS told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, or any illicit substance. Handing out...

There are few things in America today that are as big of a scam as the so-called “green” movement. When people joke that “Green is the new Red,” as in communist, you laugh because it’s true. Hilariously, the people who have anointed themselves as heroes of the planet also label themselves as social justice warriors fighting for the little guy. Yet, curiously, so much of what they advocate for benefits the rich at the expense of the poor and middle class. I try to keep up with the news everywhere, but where I have family is of particular interest. Michigan,...

Vernon Jones exited the race for the Republican nomination for Georgia governor, leaving former Sen. David Perdue with an unobstructed opportunity to oust Gov. Brian Kemp. The move excited Perdue supporters, who appeared to relish the chance for a one-on-one matchup with Kemp and expressed confidence their candidate would scoop up Jones’s presumably anti-incumbent supporters as the May 24 nominating contest nears. Perdue, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is running primarily on the former president’s claims that the governor facilitated election fraud in 2020 and delivered Georgia’s electoral votes to President Joe Biden. He has trailed Kemp in recent...

Not only that, it’s using $30 million in taxpayer dollars to follow San Francisco, which turned a public plaza into a vast, open-air shooting gallery and drug market. In times past, the American government stood with productive people and pushed back against the forces of corruption and decay. In Biden’s America, though, the opposite is true. Big cities are becoming concierge services for hard-drug addicts and Biden’s administration is joining in, with a multi-million plan to provide crackpipes for addicts. And here’s the kicker: In the name of equity, the administration will make a special effort to bring these instruments...

Following meeting with Russian leader, French president says ‘upcoming days will be crucial,’ it’s Europe’s duty to find diplomatic solution and rebuild ties with Moscow KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Diplomatic efforts to defuse the tensions around Ukraine continued on Tuesday with French President Emmanuel Macron expected in Kyiv the day after hours of talks with the Russian leader in Moscow yielded no apparent breakthroughs. Macron is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as fears of a possible Russian invasion mount. Moscow has massed over 100,000 troops near Ukraine’s borders, but insists it has no plans to attack Ukraine....

What if the demand for electricity significantly exceeds the supply over the next decade? We’d have soaring prices and rolling brownouts. That crisis could easily be triggered by the electric vehicles (EVs) Biden’s administration is pushing.

There is no politics without an enemy. Therefore, the point of any politics is to rally under a warrior leader and then defeat the enemy. One of my readers recently wrote that he objected to my use of the term “educated ruling class.” Said he: Every Jill Biden with a Ph.D. in kiddie literature considers themselves ruling class. They are decidedly uneducated. Of course, I use the term while understanding that it is mostly the ruling class’s self-image. Our liberal friends believe that their right to rule issues from their education. You doubt it? Here’s an Atlantic writer, David Graham,...

...Speaking on CTV News at Six Monday evening, Sloly said demonstrators are adapting quickly to any enforcement efforts, such as disallowing fuel containers into the downtown core. "What was happening during the course of the day is some of the protesters were deliberately filling jerry cans with water, literally drinking out of them to show the police that they weren't gasoline," Sloly said. "Meanwhile, they were carrying gasoline in other containers that would have been carrying water."

With police alleged to use spyware against citizens, Channel 12 offers guidelines by Kaspersky Lab, a Moscow-based firm banned in US over ties to Russian security services, hackers With the country rattled by bombshell revelations alleging that Israel Police have illicitly used phone-hacking spyware against dozens of public officials, activists and citizens, Channel 12’s primetime news on Monday night offered some “helpful” tips to its audience on how to at least try to “avoid being hacked.” In a short segment by its tech correspondent Ben Mittelman, the channel laid out a series of actions the average Joe and Jane can...

Pro-Trump conservative Katie Arrington will on Tuesday formally launch a congressional bid in South Carolina’s first congressional district, she told Breitbart News exclusively on Monday evening. The race will pit Arrington against establishment GOP Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) — a major proxy battle for the future of the party in South Carolina’s low country. “The South Carolina low country needs to be represented by a true, pro-Trump conservative representative who’s going to stand up,” Arrington said in a phone interview. “The current congresswoman turned her back on the low country. She turned her back on President Trump, and she has...

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday endorsed Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s reelection months ahead of the GOP primary, even as the former president courts a challenger to run against the freshman House member. “Nancy is the conservative voice the Lowcountry needs in Washington,” Haley said Monday in a statement endorsing Mace. “She’s a fighter who stands up to Biden’s reckless spending, punches back against lawless lockdowns and mandates, and is strong on border security.” Mace, who is in her first term after unseating Democrat Joe Cunningham in 2020, is facing four challengers — Thomas Allen, Keith Blandford, Ingrid...
