Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that former President Donald Trump should not be too much of a “snowflake” to testify to the January 6 House Select Committee. Wagner said, “Do you expect that he is going to comment testify? I mean, there are reports that he’ll testify if he can do so live. Reports are the committee is considering that. But we have been down this road before where Donald Trump says, oh, yes, sure, I will absolutely testify, aka, the Mueller saga, and it never happens. What is your over under that he’s...

The sister of a slain West Philadelphia community leader said she is "fed up" with a "broken" system as she slammed the city's Democratic prosecutor for lax criminal justice policies that allowed a suspect in the case to have been freed from prison following a previous violent crime.

His sister told "The Story" Friday their family and community is missing its leader. —— break ——- he suspect sought in Gossett's killing, Jamir Harris, was last...

On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN Tonight,” U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) responded to House Majority Whip Rep. James Clyburn’s (D-SC) statement that “all of us knew” the American Rescue Plan would increase prices by stating that he didn’t vote for the bill knowing it would cause inflation but refused to directly say Clyburn’s assertion that Democrats knew the bill would cause inflation is wrong and stated that there weren’t a lot of good options, and “we had to get that done. I don’t regret doing it.” After playing a clip of Clyburn saying that, “all of us are...

I have been reluctant to broach this subject but I think something is up , and the Democrat-Communist regime has something planned to try and stop the election. Last night at about 6:45 PM, the electrical power starter to act weird. It wasn’t a typical outage, the lights were acting odd. The power went off for a few minutes, then it came back at less than the 120 volts. The computers don’t work and the lights came back dim if at all. The only lights full are the LED. It is now. 7:45 AM. I called SoCal Edison periodically through...

If you've been thinking about quitting your job, you're in good company. Joblist reports that almost 48 million Americans quit a job in 2021. But now, some are starting to regret that choice. In fact, in a recent survey, Joblist found that 26% of workers aren't happy with their decision to quit a job. Now, you may have different reasons for wanting to leave your job. Maybe you're unhappy with your pay. Or maybe your salary is decent enough, but you find the work you do boring and uninspiring. You may even be thinking of quitting to escape a group...

[Catholic Caucus] Intentions Abandoned and Ignored: Cardinal Montini at Vatican II, Sixty Years Ago Today The 60th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council (11th October 1962) has recently passed, accompanied with the usual panegyrics and plaudits, this time round with the addition of so-called "synodality". Indeed, we should, so the Pope says, "return to the Council's pure sources of love... rediscover the Council's passion and renew our own passion for the Council."I thought, then, that it would be perfectly in keeping with the Pope's words to look at what the Council Fathers actually had to say...

The Pensioner Who Hid a WWII Panther Tank in his Basement Collecting war memorabilia is nothing uncommon, but rare are the people that have collections as impressive as the elderly German gentleman we are going to talk about today. Under German privacy laws, his identity was kept a secret, being dubbed as Klaus-Dieter F. Klaus was a millionaire and he loved collecting Nazi Germany memorabilia. Guns, uniforms, medals, the things in his collection grew in both number and size and included things like torpedoes, 8.8cm flak cannon and, as a crown jewel of his collection, a partially functional demilitarised PzKpfw...

It is all too likely our Republican leaders will betray us once again and will turn our Nov. 8 victory into a defeat. It is all too likely we will once again suffer the "death of a thousand cuts" at the hands of our leadership – bleeding away the impact of electoral success and draining the life from our great movement. Sen. Mitch McConnell will likely hold GOP leadership in the Senate; who can stop him? He likely will be erroneously credited with the success of new and MAGA Republican senators – even though he fought against the election of...

In a nation bitterly divided between political partisans, corporations face fraught choices. The staying power of the new “woke” will likely face its greatest test if Republicans, as expected, capture a majority in the House of Representatives after the November elections. For example, CPAC’s Matt Schlapp recently sent a letter to House Republicans warning that his organization won’t endorse any candidate for a leadership race unless they vow to reject meetings with “woke” corporations. “Pledge you will not meet with these CEOs or their leadership teams, especially their Government Affairs staff, who have been hostile to policies that help all...

The Jan. 6 committee, which held its ninth and likely final hearing Thursday, has lionized the figure of the Decent Republican. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the committee, was its obvious star, imbued with moral authority by the fact that she’d sacrificed her position in Republican leadership, and possibly her political career, to stand up to Donald Trump. There were many others. “When you look back at what has come out through this committee’s work, the most striking fact is that all this evidence comes almost entirely from Republicans,” the committee’s Democratic chair, Bennie Thompson, said Thursday. This attempt to...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...
