VIRAL: Black Conservative Leaves ENTIRE Protest SPEECHLESS With One Simple Question! EPIC.

The Biden administration’s silence is an attempt to get America to look the other way while they illegally involve themselves in state elections.

That question by itself is a mouthful considering the political climate in 2022. Given the secretive nature of a “military spec op” and the degree of difficulty investigating the kind of action where all traces need to point away from the actors, I need to disclose how I got to the place where this question became the only obvious one I can ask. The following will show circumstantially and logically why this wrinkle in the J6 investigation deserves qualified eyes on it to further and finish or put it to bed once and for all.If you’ve followed the J6 investigation...

General Karsten Heckl, the Marine Corps’ Deputy Commandant for Combat Development and Integration, said Wednesday. “And when you look at an operating environment like the Indo-Pacific, where do you see tanks playing out? Taiwan? OK. Where else?" Taiwan is probably the only place in the Pacific where tanks will play a role, says Marine Lt. Gen. Karsten Heckl. Heckl, the Marine Corps’ Deputy...

“By issuing a ‘death sentence’ for natural gas and its required infrastructure investments, John Kerry is hobbling the industry’s growth. In turn, it will hurt those who have limited or no access to power. It will make the efforts of European countries to get out from under the dominance of Russian fossil fuels, a goal of the Biden administration, even more difficult.”John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, is the latest government official to deliver conflicting messages about energy.As the Wall Street Journal pointed out, in January, Kerry told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that he could fathom keeping natural...

For the Donald Trump supporters attending a Pennsylvania rally, reports that the Supreme Court may soon end the federally protected right to abortion have been galvanizing. As one man summed up the feeling, "Life is precious." The political shockwaves of a high court opinion -- a draft of which leaked Monday in an exceedingly rare event -- are expected to reverberate through US politics for months, especially with midterm elections set for November. Trump himself barely touched on the subject in a rally held under torrential rains in the city of Greensburg. But as he flirts more and more openly...
