Fox News host Tucker Carlson released the first portion of never-before-seen angles of footage from the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol by Trump supporters on Monday, describing the scene at one point as “mostly peaceful chaos.” “‘Deadly insurrection.’ Everything about that phrase is a lie,” Carlson said on his widely watched weeknight program. “Very little about Jan. 6 was organized or violent. Surveillance video from inside the Capitol shows mostly peaceful chaos.”There have been multiple deaths tied to the attack, and roughly 1,000 arrests have been made in connection with it, while some 500 have pleaded guilty over...

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday raised eyebrows with some comments she made about conservatives during a conversation on climate change. Harris was in Colorado Monday at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities to discuss the Biden administration’s push for clean energy. Sharing the stage with panel host Sasha Digiulian and Colorado state Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Colorado, Harris recounted how she became environmentally conscious. The vice president said the Bay Area, where she was born, was one of the birthplaces of the environmental movement. “We called it ecology at the time. So, some of us who were born...

As Twitchy reported earlier, California State Sen. Scott Wiener posted video of The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh calling for trans genocide at CPAC over the weekend. The Daily Beast ran a headline saying that Walsh had said the transgender community must be “eradicated.” After being called out by Knowles, The Daily Beast eventually corrected its headline to more “literally” use Walsh’s words, saying that Walsh said that transgenderism and not “the transgender community” had to be eradicated from the public sphere. Apparently, Media Matters “senior researcher” Jason Campbell thought this was a good time to share another (partial) Walsh quote....

Former Bush 43 adviser Karl Rove said Monday on FNC’s “The Story” that former President Donald Trump needs to “move on” from claiming he won the 2020 presidential election. Sunday at CPAC in Maryland, Trump said, “We are never going back to the party of Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and Jeb Bush.” Anchor Martha MacCallum said, “President Trump went after you at one point, went after other Republicans and said, you know, that’s not the direction we’re going anymore. We’re moving hard on America first, and this is the last battle. Everyone knows it. The country could be lost forever.”...

Last month, the left-leaning Urban Institute published a new report that examined the consequences of the Biden administration’s proposed changes to student loan repayment rules. Not surprisingly, their analysis finds that the generous changes to repayment rules will result in the program shifting from its intended purpose, to provide a safety net to borrowers who struggle to repay their debt, to a giveaway program for most students who borrow. Specifically, their analysis indicates that less than one-quarter of borrowers would ever repay their debts in full under the proposed regulations. This new report comes on the heels of a similar...

No wonder the dems were up in arms over this tape being released...

At least three transgender women — Brazil Johnson, Regina Allen and now Cashay Henderson — have been killed in Milwaukee in the last nine months, and the murders are leading to worries about violence against people in the LGBTQ+ community.Just days after the murder of Cashay Henderson, members of the trans community called for change during a vigil for the 33-year-old woman.

The Biden administration is considering reinstating the policy of detaining migrant families who cross the border illegally, a practice President Joe Biden had ended when he came into office, two administration officials said. It is one of several options administration officials are mulling as they prepare for the end of Title 42, the public health order that allows border agents to immediately turn away certain migrants who crossed the southern border illegally. White House and Department of Homeland Security officials have had multiple meetings in recent days to discuss the possibility of reviving the practice ahead of the anticipated expiration...

The passenger killed on a private jet that experienced severe turbulence while flying over New England last week has been identified as a prominent Washington lawyer who served on both the Clinton and Obama administrations. Also an alumnus of The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States - better known as the 9/11 Commission - Dana J. Hyde's name was released by Connecticut cops investigating the incident on Monday. Hyde, 55, was one of five onboard the DC-bound aircraft, which was forced to divert to Bradley International Airport in Connecticut late Friday afternoon after encountering the unforeseen instability....

This is the moment a man, said to be a Ukrainian prisoner of war, takes one last drag from a cigarette next to a shallow grave before reportedly being executed by Russian troops. The chilling video has emerged as Kyiv described the death of the soldier as a 'heinous war crime'. In the grim footage, a man - who can be seen smoking a cigarette in a small hole in the ground - says 'Glory to Ukraine' - while a group of unseen soldiers are heard sneering in the background. He is then shot to death with automatic weapons in...

Eternal Law does not change. But sometimes how we have to interpret it does change. How do we bring the atrocities of the PC Left under control? Faith helps us survive. God Is Good. We do the best we can. Most of us.

WASHINGTON - President Biden’s top spokesperson refused to comment Monday on why two Russian billionaires associated with first son Hunter Biden have escaped US sanctions over the year-old war in Ukraine. The Post asked press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for an explanation after reporting fresh details last week on the association between the Biden family and oligarchs Vladimir Yevtushenkov and Yelena Baturina. “Could [you] share the reason why President Biden hasn’t sanctioned the Russian billionaires Vladimir Yevtushenkov and Yelena Baturina?” The Post asked Jean-Pierre at her regular briefing. Yevtushenkov and Baturina partnered with Hunter Biden while searching for US property investments...

Republican Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton introduced a bill Monday to allow Texans to vote on whether the Lone Star State should secede from the United States. If the Texas Legislature passes the Texas Independence Referendum Act," or TEXIT, a referendum will be placed on the ballot during the 2024 general election. "The Texas Constitution is clear that all political power resides in the people. After decades of continuous abuse of our rights and liberties by the federal government, it is time to let the people of Texas make their voices heard," Slaton said in a statement.

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who was subpoenaed last month by the special counsel overseeing investigations into former President Donald Trump relating to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, filed a motion on Friday to block the subpoena, according to reports. CNN reported that a source familiar with the filing claimed Pence filed the motion on the basis that the U.S. Constitution’s Speech or Debate clause protects him from providing testimony related to Jan. 6.

"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...
