CNN contributor Carl Bernstein said Monday on “Don Lemon Tonight ” that House Select Committee investigating January 6, 2021 had “really convincing evidence” that former President Donald Trump attempted a coup. Bernstein said, “What we do know, reporting is that there is an awful lot of information that shows that the committee has an awful lot of evidence, really convincing evidence, of a conspiracy to have a coup in which the president of the United States, the sitting President, Donald Trump, would not permit his duly elected successor, Joe Biden, from taking office.”

MCCLELLAN's HEADQUARTERS, June 6. Two deserters, who came in this morning, state that Gen. Jo. Johnson was seriously, if not mortally wounded, through the groin, by a Minie ball, during the late battle. Gen. G.W. SMITH is now in command. Other information received goes to corroborate the report. These deserters state that the rebel loss is estimated at ten thousand in killed, wounded and missing. No material change has taken place in the position of the enemy. A contraband has arrived who left Richmond yesterday. He represents things there as in a terrible state of confusion and uncertainty. No troops...

Is there really a need for another long feature story about how Sen. Dianne Feinstein is senile and needs to go? You wouldn’t think so, but New York magazine has a long cover story about how she’s lost it. Yes—strange that a magazine with a supposed focus on New York would be so interested in California’s very senior senator, and while the piece is swathed in lots of sympathetic biography for her 52-year career in public office (!), the subtext that she needs to go is impossible to disguise effectively, starting with the unflattering cover photo which makes her look...

IPray For The Peace of JerusalemGenesis 15The Lord’s Covenant With Abram 15 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield,[a] your very great reward.[b]” 2 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit[c] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.” 4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be...

Electricity is an essential part of modern life that powers homes, business, and industry. It is critical to the function of major sectors of the economy, including hospitals, schools, public transportation systems, and the defense industrial base. Even isolated interruptions in electric service can have catastrophic health and economic consequences. A robust and reliable electric power system is therefore not only a basic human necessity, but is also critical to national security and national defense. Multiple factors are threatening the ability of the United States to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand. These factors include disruptions to...

“‘No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth’” (Matthew 6:24). Just as we cannot have our treasures both in earth and in heaven or our bodies both in light and in darkness, we cannot “serve two masters.” The Greek word for “masters” is often translated “lord,” and often refers to a slave owner. By definition, a slave owner has total control of the slave. For a slave there is no such thing as partial...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has parlayed popularity with Republicans for her hands-off approach to pandemic restrictions into national prominence. But that hasn’t insulated her from criticism — and a primary challenger — from the right in the reliably conservative state. Noem will look to show her strength with Republican voters in Tuesday’s primary against state Rep. Steve Haugaard, a former state House speaker who has accused Noem of using the governor’s office to mount a 2024 White House bid. Noem has used this election fundraising cycle to collect a record amount of money for...

MADISON – Leaders of the Republican-controlled state Legislature are facing primary challengers who launched campaigns on grievances over the 2020 election that they tie to the incumbent lawmakers. Challengers to Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Caucus Chairman Van Wanggaard are calling for the abolition of the state Elections Commission, or are questioning the outcome of the 2020 election. Some blame their Republican primary opponents for unresolved concerns over how the contest was administered.

Sweetwater County Democratic Party chief Meghan Jensen is a concrete contractor, a former school cook and a soccer mom who views both leading Republican candidates for Congress as “elitists” who are out of touch with working class Wyoming. Fremont County Native American activist Lynnette Grey Bull is seeking a second straight run as the Democratic Party nominee but encourages her supporters to “cross over” and vote for Republican Liz Cheney in the Aug. 16 primary. Casper attorney Steve Helling supports former president Donald Trump but is running for Congress as a Democrat. He thinks Trump’s chosen candidate Harriet Hageman is...

Disney to the rescue! President Joe Biden will finally break 120 days of self-imposed press silence Wednesday when he grants a sit down interview to Disney-owned ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel. Their exchange will air at 11:35 pm in what has been been promised will be a malarkey-free zone. Kimmel flagged the appearance Sunday during the broadcast of “Jimmy Kimmel Live: NBA Finals Game Night” on ABC, Variety reported. He then took to social media to further promote the event, saying: “Our very elected President @JoeBiden visits @JimmyKimmelLive Wednesday night. No malarkey.”

Pete Buttigieg took questions on Sunday from George Stephanopoulos. This little man with the carefully tweezed eyebrows, sleazy 5:00 shadow, Alfred E. Neuman mien, and orator's voice hid behind fatuous, hackneyed political babble even as he discreetly revealed the hardcore totalitarianism that drives him and, indeed, drives the entire Biden administration. In many ways, Buttigieg is like a Stepford politician. There's something eerily unreal about the man as, no matter the question, he responds with administration talking points rather than substantive information. Stephanopoulos opened by speaking about Jamie Dimon's warning that America is facing an economic "hurricane" (a word Stephanopoulos...

Russia’s main battle tanks have been chewed up in the Ukraine war. Many of them have been destroyed and left clustered on roadways, some by modern weapons such as the US Javelin, some by Ukraine’s indigenously produced man-portable anti-tank weapons such as the Stugna-P and still others taken out by drones like Turkey’s Bayraktar. By any modern measure, Russian tanks deployed to the Ukrainian battlefield are old and obsolete. Russia’s armor operations have been criticized by many experts who have noted tank drivers often stay on roadways where they get stuck in traffic jams and are easily ambushed. They’ve also...

A sham congressional committee working with a corrupt Justice Department boosted by a dishonest national media can only be expected to create political propaganda. U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) promises the January 6 Select committee hearings “will tell a story that will blow the roof of the House.” Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) insists the committee’s “job is to tell the truth.” Turncoat Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) claims her fellow committee members will be “focused on facts, not rhetoric, and we will present those facts without exaggeration, no matter what criticism we face.” After a year of unrestrained investigation led...

If an Inner Party chappie gets a free ride, and the Outer Party chappie gets leg irons, what is the fate of the Proles in Biden’s America? Last week we ordinary Americans took a couple of punches in the gut. First, lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted by a jury of lying to the FBI about who was employing him to dish dirt on Candidate Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Said the jury forewoman: “I don’t think it should have been prosecuted,” she said of the case. “There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI.”...

On Monday's Morning Joe, the BBC's Katty Kay was vexed and perplexed, kvetching that the US hasn't banned guns, unlike the UK, which has done so. "This is making it very hard for allies of America, friends of America, people who love this country as I do, who've lived here for very long, to defend the country at the moment, when every single morning, we wake up and there is another mass shooting. "And we keep getting asked, what is going on in that country? Why can't they fix this? In the UK, you know this, Joe, they fixed it....

This is the fight for freedom we Americans never dreamed we would have to fight. Imagine a land where the government has the power to lock you up because the unelected bureaucrats in the Health Department think that you might, possibly have a communicable disease. They don’t have to prove you are sick. They don’t have to prove you are a health threat to others. They just need to think that, maybe, you were possibly exposed to a disease. And when I say “lock people up,” I mean lock you in your home or force you from your home into...

Click here to listen to our podcast on this topic. The Ohio Legislature has made it crystal clear that it wants ONE set of consistent firearm laws across the state, and it has specifically forbidden municipalities from regulating guns in any manner. However, even though the state's "preemption" law, spelled out in Ohio Revised Code 9.68, has been in force since March 2007 and was further strengthened in 2019, and even though the law has withstood court challenges, the City of Columbus continues to look for ways to regulate guns locally. On February 15, 2022, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther declared...

SYDNEY—As opinions on gun control have filled the news following violent shootings caused by guns and nothing else, the non-authoritarian democracy of Australia has shone like a beacon of hope for proponents of strict gun control. "We gave up our guns and it turned out fine for us," said one Australian man who couldn't leave his house for two years. "I mean, look how safe we are under the protection of the kind government." "The government would never shoot up a school," said an Aussie grandmother who was beaten by a horde of policemen and women for venturing outside of...
