"Newly revealed surveillance footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows two Capitol police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, the be-horned so-called "QAnon Shaman" who has come to symbolize the riot, through the halls of the Capitol and to the very door of the US Senate." - Tucker Carlson

What do we call people who don't pay the help? Well, in the past, they were known as plantation owners, or slave-holders, a hot topic for wokester leftists. Nowadays, just say "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez." She's got quite a track record of not paying the help based on her appearance at the Met Gala last year, according to revelations from the congressional ethics investigation on her. She not only took "gifts" (really big gifts, which started with the $35,000 price of the ticket), but failed to pay in any timely manner the staff who fluffed her up in her famous "Tax...

A Los Angeles County jury awarded $1.5 million to a prosecutor as part of a retaliation lawsuit against District Attorney George Gascon, who faces similar complaints in a series of legal actions. Shawn Randolph sued Gascon, claiming she was transferred from supervising the DA's juvenile division, and effectively demoted, for speaking out against his policies, which have come under heavy scrutiny from his own prosecutors and elected officials. Randolph previously raised concerns that Gascon's criminal justice reforms could be harmful or unethical.

While moderate, abortion-friendly Larry Hogan has decided to sacrifice his pretend presidential ambitions to try and defeat Donald Trump, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a quasi-clone of Hogan, isn’t ready to stand down. In a splashy Wall Street Journal article out on Sunday, the newly re-elected governor of the Granite State lays out his case for why a moderate, pro-choice candidate would be the best chance Republicans have at taking back the White House in 2024. After I clean up the coffee I spit on the keyboard, it’s worth a discussion for discussion’s sake. You don’t need to go much...

To this day, media accounts claim Sicknick was “slain” on Jan. 6, and powerful Democrats, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi have continued to cite his death as evidence of a “deadly insurrection” at the Capitol that day. But hitherto unseen surveillance footage from inside the Capitol, aired by Fox News host Tucker Carlson Monday night contradicts that claim. It shows Officer Sicknick walking through the building “after he was supposedly murdered by the mob outside.”Electronic bookmarks archived on the Capitol database show that the Jan. 6 committee examined the same footage of a healthy Sicknick walking around...

Rich Eisen, the NFL Network anchor, spent the week in Indianapolis and dished on several rumors that he heard at the NFL Scouting Combine, including a juicy one concerning a possible Tom Brady un-retirement. “This one just blew my mind: Tom Brady might not be done after all,” Eisen said. “A couple people were just like, ‘Hang on, just you wait.’ And I was like, ‘He’s Instagramming out pictures of his cat.’ But it doesn’t look like he’s getting big and fat, does it? Let it play out. Let’s see who wants what.” Eisen then named the Dolphins as the...

Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick still is described as a victim of January 6, murdered by Trump supporters rioting at the Capitol, despite an autopsy report which shows he died of a stroke the following day. The New York Times initially reported that Sicknick had been beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, before retracting the claim more than a month later.

Former Russian commander Igor Girkin, also known as Igor Ivanovich Strelkov, criticized Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner Group, and the Kremlin's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu over Moscow's recent operations in Ukraine...But he also contended that removing Prigozhin from leading Wagner was "urgently necessary."

"I've had hiccups," the "Frasier" star admitted to USA Today. "I've had some tragic times." He continued, "I have wrestled with those and worked my way through them: sometimes rejecting faith, sometimes rejecting God even, in a period of being pretty angry about it, like, 'Where were you?' That kind of thing." "But I have come to terms with it and have found great peace in my faith and in Jesus. It's not cavalier – Jesus made a difference in my life. That's not anything I'll apologize for."

The modelling study found that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from three major sources: Meat...

Denver, Colo., Mar 4, 2023 / 11:43 am (CNA). In the wake of the Dobbs Supreme Court decision overturning the pro-abortion rights Roe v. Wade ruling, several bodies at the University of Notre Dame are hosting an event series dedicated to “reproductive justice.” The series has attracted criticism for its decidedly pro-abortion slant: an “abortion doula” with a tattoo of abortion equipment is one of the speakers at its next event. Critics say the series conflicts with university policy requiring the presentation of Catholic teaching at such events. “We have a series that so far has been dedicated to opposing...
