“As we continue to review the report, we noticed that several high-level former government officials directly involved in Crossfire Hurricane either declined or partially declined to cooperate with your investigation,” the senators wrote. “It seems odd that individuals would be allowed to avoid fully cooperating with your office, particularly given your authority to compel testimony and records.”

Pro-Ukraine fighters appeared to use at least three U.S. military vehicles as they attacked Russian territory on Monday, according to a new report that undermines promises from the Pentagon that U.S. military equipment will only be used within Ukraine's borders. Russian forces captured at least two American Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) trucks, according to photos confirmed by The New York Times. The equipment was reportedly used by pro-Ukraine proxy forces, which often include Russians who oppose Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is unclear how these pro-Ukraine forces may have obtained U.S. military equipment. Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press...

"Our goal is to make all students feel welcome," Cardona said. "We don't think it's fair that a person born with a penis should be barred from being on the girls' teams for a birth defect over which that person had no control." Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) pointed out that "biological males have some physical traits that would give them an...

A close relative of the man recently identified as the infamous Zodiac Killer exclusively told RadarOnline.com that she “100 percent” believes he committed the murders. In a striking development to come just days after Air Force veteran Gary F. Poste was identified as the Zodiac Killer by a former FBI agent, the alleged killer’s family spoke out to claim that Poste was “entirely capable” of committing the cryptic crimes. Poste’s family also revealed that Poste was a “twisted,” “sadistic,” and “very secretive” person before his death in 2018 at the age of 80. Poste’s former daughter-in-law, who asked only to...

I truly love baseball. But more than baseball, I love God. Given the decision between being a fan of any sports team and supporting my religious beliefs, I know that God is my real captain and I will always choose my faith. And I believe that when push comes to shove, most people feel the same. I also recognize that it is my religious obligation to support other people of faith in their journey. Which is why I am so sad that I will not be attending baseball games thanks to the irresponsible management of the Los Angeles Dodgers and...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday that President Joe Biden has reduced the deficit in a meaningful way since the start of his tenure, a claim which comes as House Republicans insist on broader spending reforms. One reporter noted that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), with whom the commander-in-chief has been negotiating over moves to raise the debt ceiling and implement future spending caps, said Democratic officials refuse to decrease expenditures. When asked if she agrees that Democrats “have a spending problem,” Jean-Pierre at first answered with a simple “no” and later said Biden “believes in...

Democrats want to defund police who enforce the law, and expand police forces that use law as a political weapon on Democrats’ behalf.Democrats are communicating loud and clear that they support law enforcement so long as it abuses police power to serve their political goals. They want to defund police who enforce the law, and expand police forces that use law as a political weapon on Democrats’ behalf.One proof is that in last week’s hearing on FBI weaponization, support for the FBI was split exactly by political party. Democrats uniformly supported the FBI in face of evidence of gross and...

If your big takeaway from the Durham report is that it didn’t solve the mystery of Trump and Putin, you might be checked out from reality.There was a time, years ago, when I looked forward to reading Peggy Noonan. Her weekly Wall Street Journal column seemed to cut through the noise of national politics and the churn of the news cycle to articulate some important nugget of wisdom about the state of our shared civic life. Whether I agreed with her or not, I always wanted to know what she thought, and I always took the time to read her.Those...

The largest mob lynching in the South was of Italians.The 1891 lynching of 11 Italians in New Orleans, after a roundup of over 1,000 Italians, grew out of an internal conflict among Louisiana Democrats and was praised by progressives of the era.“These sneaking and cowardly Sicilians, the descendants of bandits and assassins,” the New York Times editorial board railed. “Lynch law was the only course open to the people of New Orleans.”Future Louisiana Gov. John M. Parker, who helped organize the lynchings, described Italians as “just a little worse than the Negro, being if anything filthier in habits, lawless, and...

In 2021, the Equal Justice Institute celebrated a settlement with the University of California in which the system agreed to stop using SAT and ACT test scores, objective merit-based metrics, in college admissions, until 2025.

Like a lot of destructive leftist activists, Lisa Holder received a Soros Justice Fellowship from the radical billionaire’s Open Society Foundation.

Regulators in Britain have banned a Christian teacher from the profession for life for “misgendering” a student, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the country. The Teaching Regulation Authority (TRA) has ruled that Joshua Sutcliffe, 33, formerly of the Cherwell School at Oxford, should be banned from the teaching profession for failing to use the so-called preferred pronouns of a girl student who identified as a boy, which they claimed amounted to not providing the pupil with “dignity and respect”. Sutcliffe admitted that there was an instance in which he praised a group...

To our TGP readers: We had the honor and pleasure to speak with and interview Victoria White in October 2022.
