WASHINGTON — About two dozen anti-Big Tech activists, some in costume, stalked a DC fundraiser hosted by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday evening to demand that he call a vote on pending antitrust legislation. Schumer ended up hunkering down in the Kimpton George Hotel near the Capitol building until after the protest disbanded — as his guests filtered out and earnestly told the crowd that he already left. A person at the 5 p.m. fundraiser for Schumer’s Impact PAC said that the New York Democrat left the event at 5:56 p.m. — so most of the demonstrators returned...

China tried to build a network of informants inside the Federal Reserve system, at one point threatening to imprison a Fed economist during a trip to Shanghai unless he agreed to provide nonpublic economic data, a congressional investigation found. The investigation by Republican staff members of the Senate’s Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs found that Fed employees were offered contracts with Chinese talent-recruitment programs , which often include cash payments, and asked to provide information on the U.S. economy, interest-rate changes and policies, according to a report of the findings released Tuesday.

Text from the tweet is below. Why is he not blinking? There's something 'off' about this video. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-democracy. You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-American.

President Biden @POTUS United States government official Brave women and men in uniform across America should never forget that the defeated former president of the United States watched January 6th happen and didn’t have the spine to act.

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jul 16, 2022 / 03:00 am A Texas bishop emeritus is calling on his fellow Catholic bishops — and all pro-life Americans — to take action against pro-abortion policy in favor of pro-life measures that support women and the unborn. “Our own president is considering declaring abortion a public health emergency,” Bishop Michael D.

But in the end, Abbott, a professor in the Adelaide University School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, claims it was strands of the man's hair trapped in a...

Former President Donald Trump explained why he continues to fight for what he called America First, Make America Great Again-loving patriots, stopping short of declaring an official presidential campaign for 2024: "Because I love our country.""Never forget, everything this corrupt establishment is doing to me is all about preserving their power and control over the American people," Trump told the America First Agenda Summit, delivering an America First Policy Institute speech, which aired live on Newsmax.

The head of the Russian church, Patriarch Kirill gave a powerful, patriotic sermon on Sunday during celebrations to her most important Saint, St. Sergius of Radonezh. The main thrust of the sermon was that God has always delivered Russia during conflicts with her enemies because Russia always turned to God at these times, even during WW2, when Russia was officially atheist. GO has a longer description of the events with several excellent videos and images here. In the sermon, the Patriarch lambasted Europe for having 'banished God', creating a situation in which people are afraid to admit publicly that they...

As Twitchy has reported, President Joe Biden has claimed that “lives were lost” on January 6, and Donald Trump left cops to suffer three hours of “medieval hell,” dripping in blood and surrounded by carnage. The brave women and men in blue should never forget that, Biden says in a new video. He also says you can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-cop. We’ll admit we kind of tune out whenever someone calls the storming of the Capitol an “insurrection” — if it was, there have been a handful of insurrections since. We’re less interested in what Biden has to say in...

"What they're doing to our country is ruining it. They're poisoning our country."Trump pointed out that his administration "deported record...

The concept of America First embodies the American people’s aspirational goals to see policies that primarily benefit them, especially in an era when it feels as if they are being overshadowed by special-interest groups, corporate lobbyists and foreign agendas. It’s undoubtedly linked with President Donald Trump, but the question remains for the 2024 election: Can this idea thrive with someone else’s leadership?
