Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted House Republicans’ “extreme” agenda on Friday for focusing so heavily on investigations in its first real week of business in Congress. “You know what the American people want us to do — they want us to do things to make their lives better,” Schumer told CNN on Friday morning. “They don’t want just Congress to investigate” The House voted strictly along party lines on Tuesday to form the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government within the Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee, which will be led by Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), aims...

The U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed Jan. 6 protester Ashli Babbitt was housed for six months in a hotel suite reserved for top brass at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, according to newly released Air Force records. Capitol Police paid for a suite for Lt. Michael Byrd and a “pet” at the hotel inside the fenced base from July 2021 to January 2022 for thousands of dollars, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch. Byrd, who did not face any charges in the killing of the unarmed Babbitt, revealed his role in August 2021 and said that...

PETA is calling for the University of Georgia to be “a winner not only in football but also in its treatment of” animals. In the wake of its second straight National Championship, the animal rights organization wants the school to immediately halt its use of its live mascot, an English bulldog named Uga. The group claims that the school’s use of Uga “drives demand for breathing-impaired breeds (BIBs),” like pugs, boxers, and English and French bulldogs. “As the back-to-back national champion, can’t UGA find it in its heart to honestly examine the impact of its promotion of deformed dogs and...

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...

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday blamed a staffer working on her reelection campaign for sending out the widely condemned email asking teachers to incentivize students to volunteer for her with class credit, calling it a “mistake” after an investigation was launched into the matter. The “Windy City” mayor on Thursday denounced the recruiting initiative, placing the blame on her campaign staffer for sending the email to the official work inboxes of several Chicago Public Schools teachers a day earlier. According to WTTW News, the email reportedly sent by Lightfoot’s deputy campaign manager Megan Crane, encouraged teachers to offer students...

The Biden administration on Thursday launched an online appointment system for migrants seeking exemptions from pandemic-era limits on asylum - the U.S. government's latest major step in eight days to overhaul border enforcement. U.S. Customs and Border Protection began allowing migrants to make appointments up to two weeks out using its website and through CBPOne, a mobile app that the agency has used in limited ways since 2020. CBPOne is poised to replace an opaque, bewildering patchwork of exemptions to a public health order known as Title 42 under which the government has denied migrants' U.S. and international rights to...

The Biden administration is apparently looking to ban gas stoves, calling them a “hidden danger”. But while that sounds bad enough, a deeper dive shows – as usual – it’s not really about what they say it’s about. Talk of banning gas stoves and “unregulated indoor air quality” could be a Trojan horse designed to get even more “smart” monitoring technology into your home. Let’s jump in.

The BBC has stoked controversy after giving a virtually unchallenged platform to a Covid jab critic on its rolling news channel. The UK broadcaster interviewed Dr Aseem Malhotra about a cholesterol medication story on Friday morning, but the vaccine sceptic hijacked the conversation to fan conspiracies about Covid shots. The exchange is going viral in anti-vax circles on social media. He told BBC presenter Lukwesa Burak that his research had shown that coronavirus vaccines “carry a cardiovascular risk.” He said they had contributed to 30,000 excess deaths involving heart disease in the UK since the pandemic began. Malhotra replied that...

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday expressed his support of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Biden’s potential mishandling of classified documents from his time as vice president. “We now have special prosecutors on for both of these situations, very serious people,” Schumer said in an appearance on CNN, discussing both the Biden documents case and that of former President Trump. “We should let it play out,” he added. “We don’t have to push them in any direction or try to influence them. That’s all I’m going to say. Let the special...

WASHINGTON — A new special counsel investigation into the discovery of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s home and office puts both him and his attorney general in awkward positions as another special counsel investigates his predecessor for his own mishandling of secret papers. Although the circumstances of the cases involving Biden and former President Donald Trump are markedly different, as a political matter, the new inquiry will muddy the case against Trump, who is already using it to argue that he is being selectively persecuted by the administration of a president he plans to challenge in 2024. Attorney General...

Yevgeny Prigozhin's feud with the Russian Defence Ministry over Soledar is escalating. Prigozhin shared a post on his Telegram feed that chastizes the Defence Ministry for claiming paratroopers helped Russia in in Soledar and said that Wagner Group fighters did it exclusively.

A conservative group is trying to stop former Indiana governor Mitch Daniels from running for a U.S. Senate seat. Daniels has been considering a 2024 run to replace Senator Mike Braun, who is giving up the position to run for governor of Indiana. Club for Growth Action is now airing TV commercials that say Daniels is “wrong for Senate”. It is unclear when Daniels will publicly announce whether or not he will pursue the seat.

Following yet another failure of government control of transportation -- the FAA system debacle -- Pete Buttigieg has been soundly thrashed again for his incompetence. The FAA failure is only one of many fiascos over the past year laid at the feet of the erstwhile secretary of Transportation. Recall when he and his “husband” were on paternity leave for nearly two months while the maritime shipping supply chain crisis was going on last fall. Next, he was AWOL during the railroad strike negotiations and really played no role in brokering a deal. As a matter of fact, he was on...

There is a cohort of elected officials in the United States presently engaged in an anti-capitalist crusade against free-market principles. No, they are not socialists. They are congressional Republicans, and they are attempting to prevent financial institutions from allocating capital in accordance with investor preferences and risk management principles. This attempted crackdown is purely ideological in nature — it is an exercise in political pressure to force a gross government overreach into U.S. capital markets. This campaign, which should offend anyone with even a modicum of pro-market sensibilities, is being championed from within the Republican Party. Republican state lawmakers and...

Vladimir Putin will seek to nominate his chosen successor this year amid heavy losses on the battlefield, Abbas Gallyamov, his former speechwriter, said Putin's circle no longer see him as a 'guarantor of stability' and are alarmed by the rise of Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the well-armed Wagner private army, which is so far loyal to the Kremlin but could turn on an elite seen as failing in the war, Gallyamov said. They fear being slaughtered with Prigozhin's sledgehammer - the extrajudicial punishment given to his jail convict soldiers who refuse to fight or seek to defect to Ukraine. One...

Maryland Democrats are pushing restrictions for licensed concealed carry that would prevent the legal carriers from being armed for self defense in pubic places. WBAL-TV reports that State Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher (D) is pushing the Gun Safety Act of 2023, would bans concealed carry in “schools, hospitals, libraries, synagogues, churches, mosques. Also parks, restaurants, anywhere the public is gathering.” The synopsis of Waldstreicher’s bill says: “Prohibiting a person from knowingly wearing, carrying, or transporting a firearm onto the real property of another unless the other has given certain permission to the person or the public generally; and prohibiting a person...

Nobody says it better than Mark on Hannity tonight: “This whole thing stinks to high heaven.” They found the first files in November and we’re only finding out about it now?!? Biden got burned—he thought he was going to be able to sweep his classified files under the rug, but now thanks to Corvette-gate, his true colors are showing..

House Democrats voted nearly unanimously Wednesday in opposition to a bill to protect babies born alive following a botched abortion – and all of California’s Democrat House delegation voted against it. House Republicans passed the bill requiring doctors to care for infants born alive after failed abortions. Democrats offered hysterical reactions and insisted the legislation poses a threat to the infants that it seeks to protect. H.R. 26, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed 220 to 210. The legislation would amend Title 18 of the United States Code to “prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the...
