FOX News reported: Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., claimed Thursday that a Secret Service agent who may testify before the Jan. 6 committee about the timeline of events that unfolded around former President Donald Trump during the riot “likes to lie.” Two Secret Service agents, Tony Ornato and Robert Engel, are prepared to testify before Congress that then-President Donald Trump did not lunge at a steering wheel or assault them in an attempt to go to the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot, a source close to the Secret Service told Fox News’ David Spunt this week. The explosive new allegations...

Danish police said several people had been hit by gunshots and one person had been arrested at a shopping centre in the capital Copenhagen on Sunday.

Tourists who do not stay overnight in hotels or seek other accommodation, will have to sign up online for the day of their visit and pay a fee that ranges from between $3 and $10.50 per day, city officials said. Those who ignore the new rules will risk fines of more than $300. More than 80 percent of visitors to Venice arrive just for the day — more than 30,000 to 40,000 people per day, Bloomberg reported. In 2019, there were more than 19 million “day-trippers” to the city. Last year, Italy’s government approved measures last year to ban large...

How the pope failed the Jews in the HolocaustA new book sets out damning evidence about the conduct of Pope Pius XII during the Second World War Julie CarbonaraBY Julie Carbonara June 30, 2022 09:06 Timid: Pope Pius XII (Photo: Getty Images)Pope Pius XII, who presided over the Catholic Church during the Second World War, has always divided opinion: was he a Nazi sympathiser who did little to save the Jews? Or has he been wrongly vilified? Only the documentation hidden away in the Vatican archives could provide a definite answer. It looked as if the truth would remain buried...

Rep. Liz Cheney publicly nudged the Justice Department on Sunday to move against Donald Trump, warning that not holding the former president accountable for January 6 is a 'graver Constitutional threat' to American democracy than letting him off the hook. Cheney - one of two Republicans on the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee - also shared a warning for her own party, which has largely ostracized her for her role on the panel. 'I think that that he can't be the party nominee' in the 2024 presidential race, the Wyoming lawmaker told ABC News of Trump. 'I don't think the party...

It was March 10, 2022—day one of a virtual forum held over Zoom to re-write the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA), a draft law that for four decades has been the basis for defining who is alive and who is dead in the United States. Many of those assembled were legal professionals who are members of the Uniform Law Commission, a quasi-governmental entity whose origins go back 125 years. It’s a crowded meeting of five dozen guests from both the legal and medical realms. When drafting legislation, vocabulary counts for everything. Opposing viewpoints were passionately aired over seemingly minute...

Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time Luke 10:1–12, 17–20 Friends, our Gospel today, taken from the magnificent tenth chapter of Luke’s Gospel, is a portrait of the Church. It shows us what Jesus wants his followers to be doing and how to do it. Listen to how the passage begins: “The Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.” We are a missionary Church. We are sent by the Lord to spread his word and do his work. The Christian Gospel is just not something that we are...

Joe Biden’s future is murky at best. His own Party is starting to turn on him. Now one move by a leading Democrat may have revealed Joe Biden’s fate in 2024. After Joe Biden became the oldest President in history, there were doubts about whether he’d seek a second term. His clear mental decline and disastrous Presidency have only added fuel to that fire. With his Presidency collapsing under the weight of one crisis after another, Democrats are ready to pull the plug on Biden. The corporate-controlled media is openly speculating about who could replace him in 2024. Biden’s usual...

The following includes editorial content which is the opinion of the writer, a retired Chief of Police and current staff writer for Law Enforcement Today. ... PJ Media through a series of FOIA requests has further unmasked exactly the level of coordination between leftist organizations, federal law enforcement and election officials to undermine our Republic.

VIDEOWhat happened to the story we were told that CNN would become LESS involved in pushing partisan politics and more involved in delivering straight news? Apparently they have laughably RELAPSED to their standard ways of pushing the Democrat agenda. This is perfectly illustrated by the DEBUNKED testimony that Cassidy Hutchinson delivered to the January 6 Committee. First we find out that it was CNN commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin who ADMITTED that she put Hutchinson in touch with Liz Cheney about "new" explosive testimony that Hutchinson somehow forgot to mention to the committee before. The other CNN embarrassment is that they...

I believe this IS the most amazing “4th of July” sermon EVER in America! Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX.

Please folks it’s about 30 minutes long but so inspiring and honest about our history and the changes happening in our government. It will touch your heart and make a patriotic change in your life!

In America this minute leftists can no longer be given the benefit of the doubt. They are pushing an agenda that is evil. They are hellbent on accomplishing it and they are saying so publicly. The late Charles Krauthammer was the person credited for the intriguing binary observation that “conservatives view the left as stupid,” but that “liberals view conservatives as evil.” We see evidence of that second part constantly. The vehement hatred of those who support America First is proven every day. The hatred burns so deeply in fact that they seek out ways to create out of whole...
