WASHINGTON - Aided by citizen sleuths who keep identifying Jan. 6 rioters, the Justice Department is finding that it has more cases than lawyers to prosecute them. Fifteen months after a mob stormed the Capitol in support of then-President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, more than 775 defendants have been arrested. More than 225 have pleaded guilty so far, and two have been convicted at trial: one by a jury and one by a judge. More than 50 have been sentenced to prison. That leaves more than 500 active cases that still need to be resolved,...

The Missing Of Mariupol Special Report (The Search Is On)

“Palm Sunday, Sunday of the Passion” (Luke 19:28-40; 22:1 – 23:56) Today is a day that goes by two names: “Palm Sunday” and the “Sunday of the Passion.” The title that we’re probably more familiar with is “Palm Sunday.” For it was on this day that Jesus made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, greeted by the cheering crowds, and the people used palm branches to welcome him. Palms were used to indicate victory and triumph. Palms symbolized success and long life. And so on Palm Sunday, Jesus is hailed as the Messiah, the long-prophesied King of Israel, coming to Jerusalem...

President Joe Biden has brazenly claimed over and over again to have no knowledge of his family’s corrupt business dealings for which his son Hunter is under investigation by the FBI for tax fraud, money laundering, and the violation of lobbying laws. The White House has also insisted Biden never spoke to Hunter about his intertwined business dealings, though evidence of the Biden family business suggests otherwise.

Former French intelligence chief Pierre Brochand warns that unless Europe and France radically change their policies on mass immigration, civil war could break out, asserting, “all multicultural societies are doomed.” Brochand, who served as director of the French DGSE from 2002 to 2008, made the comments during an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro. “All ‘multicultural’ societies are doomed to more or less deep rifts,” warned Brochand, adding, “In such a situation, it happens that minorities are violent winners, and majorities placid losers.” The negative impact of mass immigration on France can no longer be dismissed because it is “increasingly...

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas delivered a speech to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network conference in New York City on Friday. He told those attending the conference that “the greatest terrorism-related threat that we face in the homeland is the threat of domestic violent extremism.” Mayorkas dug in a little deeper and blamed social media and other online platforms for an “increase in hate”, specifically naming White supremacists as “the most prominent threat” to the United States. He used the example of bomb threats to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In recent months there has been an alleged uptick...

Inflation is not a guessing game anymore; it’s here. Every time you buy gas at the pump or groceries at the supermarket or book a plane ticket, the price increases are staring you in the face. The problem is that inflation cannot be isolated. It’s not limited to what you pay to fill up your car, for example. Truckers have to pay the same higher prices for diesel fuel, which add to transportation costs and to the final prices of delivered goods. It’s a clear example of the ripple effect. That much is clear. What is less clear are the...

Here is a scary question for the legal eagles: Judge Jackson is now approved by the Senate to take the next vacancy, which won’t occur until Justice Breyer steps down. He will step down in a couple months. What is to stop Biden from getting 4 more judges approved now, to fill future openings?

Oh no! Everyone's calling everyone else "groomer" and now we're all confused! Are you a groomer? Is your neighbor a groomer? Let the experts at The Babylon Bee help you sort it out. Here are all the warning signs you may be a groomer: 1. Do you talk about sex with 5-year-olds behind their parents' back? 2. Do you begin sentences with, "Don't tell your parents, but..." 3.

In the morning Putin had invaded Ukraine, in the afternoon Robert Habeck sat with him on the green leather sofa and was "devastated". Bitter and ashamed because he allowed himself to be crushed by his party when he demanded arms for Ukraine in the summer. It was a fundamentally different conversation from the one I had with Secretary of Defense Christine Lambrecht, who was primarily concerned about her public image. Or that with Finance Minister Lindner, who sat there with "such a polite smile" and talked as if the defeat of the Ukrainians had long been sealed. "You only have...

Tik Toks that prove Gen Z is Broken | Boomer Parents Failed

I was thinking about this before but what kind of Speaker do you think Rep. Kevin McCarthy will be? I'm under the impression that the next congressional in-take will be significantly more conservative / MAGA. Will he be an assistant Democrat and still pass these massive omnibus spending bills? Will he use Dem votes to do this? I can't see many of the new members being happy with this or members like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz or Thomas Massie. Perhaps the key battles to watch will be Republican versus Republican especially if McCarthy tries to pass these crap thousand...

Day 8 of Being a GIRL: Stunning & Brave

Fifth Week of Lent John 11:45-56 Friends, in today’s Gospel, the chief priests and Pharisees unite in a plot to kill Jesus because he raised Lazarus from the dead. The Crucifixion of Jesus is a classic instance of Catholic philosopher René Girard’s scapegoating theory. He held that a society, large or small, that finds itself in conflict comes together through a common act of blaming an individual or group purportedly responsible for the conflict. It is utterly consistent with the Girardian theory that Caiaphas, the leading religious figure of the time, said to his colleagues, “It is better for you...
