Among those most intently following the House Jan. 6 committee hearings is Stewart Rhodes, the jailed leader of the Oath Keepers militia group, which was on the scene at the Capitol riot. The former Army paratrooper and Yale Law School graduate turned militia leader now spends 22 hours a day in solitary confinement and has had little contact with the outside world since he was jailed in January on charges of seditious conspiracy. He has not been deprived, however, of the panel’s highly publicized hearings, which echo in his otherwise spartan cell. “I’ve watched or listened to all of them,”...

Sen. Ron Johnson has gone from tea party insurgent to a top Trump cheerleader in 2022, and Wisconsin voters will decide this year whether they are on board with his political evolution. Mr. Johnson, a businessman who won his seat in the 2010 GOP wave election, is one of the Democrats’ top targets this year. They hope voters have tired of Mr. Johnson and his refusal to embrace Washington norms, his outspoken complaints about crumbling borders, his support for overturning Roe v. Wade and his allegiance to former President Donald Trump. And yet, it was Mr. Johnson’s maverick streak that...

Hunter’s iPhone has been the source of the most prurient interest since 4Chan users this weekend began releasing data reportedly hacked from the backup stored on his Laptop from Hell. Presidentish Joe Biden’s son’s phone was apparently loaded with sex, drugs, and… FBI cyber specialists?

President Biden jets off to the Middle East Tuesday night, first stopping in Israel before heading to Saudia Arabia, the country which he called a “pariah” and whose government he claimed had “very little social redeeming value.” On the campaign trail in October 2020 he said:Under a Biden-Harris administration, we will reassess our relationship with the Kingdom, end US support for Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, and make sure America does not check its values at the door to sell arms or buy oil.Now that America is in a gas price crisis, however, Biden seems to have no problem “checking...

Elder finished first among recall candidates and second behind Newsom in 2021.For those who may not know, Elder received 3,563,867 during the recall, equivalent to 48.5 percent of the vote among recall candidates. Some might argue that the recall would have been successful had Elder stayed out of the race. Polls showed the recall in a tie until Elder entered the race. It seemed like Elder thought, due to name recognition,...

Elon Musk responded to former President Donald Trump’s claim that Musk is “another bull—t artist.” Trump was referring to Musk backing out of the Twitter deal and saying Musk voted for him, although Musk says that he voted Republican for the first time in 2022 for Texas Rep. Mayra Flores.Musk said the deal was off, citing Twitter’s “bot” problem, but this could be far from over, as Musk’s deal might be settled in court.

In a sign that he is about to announce another presidential campaign, Donald Trump released a video this week of his awesome Boeing 757 being refurbished. This is the airplane he used to campaign during his successful 2016 election. According to Trump, “Now it has been completely modernized and renovated, and looks GREAT, all done in the Great State of Louisiana, and coming back to the skies in the Fall of 2022, or maybe sooner. Get ready!” Americans are definitely “ready” for the return of Donald Trump to the White House, especially after 18 months of the worst presidency in...

Well, she clearly did in 2019, even if Kamala Harris went about it incompetently. Having a ringside seat to the job for the past eighteen months may have changed her mind, Andrew Stiles argued in the Washington Free Beacon on Friday. As VP, Harris has tried to avoid holding any portfolio so far, and Stiles concludes that she’s seen the boss’ job and no longer wants it.Before we address that question, we have to address the question that precedes it. Do Democrats want Harris in the first place? Even among the impressive string of Kamala Word Salads leading up to...

Republican Kari Lake, the frontrunner in Arizona’s GOP gubernatorial primary race, took aim at the longtime political insiders of her party during an interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday.Lake told host Matthew Boyle she believes the Democrat Party and the “old school establishment Republican Party” share a similar “greed and globalism” mentality.“I see some of the swamp-type Republicans more similar to the Democrats than the America First Republicans. They both want open borders. … They’re both fine with having our businesses moving overseas and not coming back home. They’re not putting our economy first, our workers first,” Lake said, adding...

#1 - What you are seeing isn’t what was supposed to happen. The reason he was alone in a dangerous area was he was supposed to be offered up as a sacrificial lamb. This is also why drones were everywhere to capture it on film. This was supposed to be a warning to any others who chose to defend themselves or their property. However, he turned out to be a lot capable than what was thought when they had singled him out. Kyle Rittenhouse
