Officers arrested the armed man “in the park across from Union Station,” according to a Capitol Police statement. “At this time we have no reason to believe there is an ongoing threat,” the statement read. “We are working to gather more information and will put out more details when they are confirmed.” In a separate alert, officers alerted members, staff and press to the presence of a suspicious package “in the Upper Senate Park.” They advised all to avoid the area until further notice

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) in a Tuesday statement criticized her colleagues’ attempts to silence her, saying they were more focused on controlling her words than saving the lives of people in Gaza under siege from Israel’s attack on Hamas. The House later Tuesday is expected to vote on two separate measures censuring Tlaib over remarks she has made about the Israel-Gaza war. “It’s a shame my colleagues are more focused on silencing me than they are on saving lives, as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 10,000. Many of them have shown me that Palestinian lives simply do not matter...

At the end of World War II, the world was in shock as it had discovered the horrors of the Holocaust that had come from one of the most educated countries on the planet. Depending on how one looks at it, the Holocaust took place ONLY eighty years ago or ALREADY eighty years ago. Within the scope of human history, it wasn’t a long time, but when we look at man’s lifespan, it helps us understand that almost all those who have gone through the horrors of the “Shoah” (catastrophe) and survived it are now gone, simply because of old...

Have the Hamas attacks on Israel put "wokeness" on the ropes? Conservatives certainly seem to think so—and for some it's a purposeful strategy. But some progressives are acknowledging the phenomenon, as well, due to an increasing number of left-wing college students and other progressives who are siding with Hamas-ruled Gaza after attacks on Israel that began October 7 resulting in the death of 1,400 Israelis and the kidnapping of some 200 men, women and children

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for the immediate suspension of Presidential elections in his country, so that he may focus all his efforts on fighting to protect democracy in Ukraine. "We must suspend democracy to save democracy," said Zelensky during his weekly fundraising telethon. "If we allow democracy to get in the way of fighting for democracy, we might lose our democracy. And our billions of sweet, sweet American dollars. And my superyacht in Dubai... anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, it's time to cancel elections so I may remain president indefinitely." Sources say Zelensky...

The New Left of the early 1970s knew they could not mount a violent revolution against the government. Not if they wanted to be successful. They could no longer throw bricks through windows, scream at police officers, and hold unruly demonstrations in the public square if they wanted to win hearts and minds to their cause — at least not yet. For now, they had to take the ideas of Marx, the ones that they had worked so hard to bring to the United States, and quietly slip them into the minds of people in some other way. The question...

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares told Breitbart News Daily that Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) led the “Virginia Renaissance” as Old Dominion voters go to the polls Tuesday. Virginians are going to the polls on Tuesday as all 100 House of Delegates seats and 40 Senate seats are up for elections, which could decide the fate of the Republican majority in the House and the Democrat majority in the Senate. Opening the segment, Breitbart News Daily host Mike Slater wondered how then-candidate Joe Biden could win the state by 10 points during the presidential election, but Virginia flipped red during the...

How a small plane’s 16-day trip from Vermont to Florida might foreshadow a new era of battery-powered air travel long considered implausible.

It's always nice to see smug people get a slice of humble pie, isn't it? This is a few years old, but it went viral again over the weekend and it's a great laugh/lesson: 1 minute video at link........... The smug PhD was SO sure of herself! "Two, me. I don't know!

Credentials ≠ intelligence! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She was last!.......................

In the final years of his legendary life, Popcorn Sutton put his wife up on a pedestal – and on the catwalk above the 2,500-gallon pots where his moonshine was being distilled. It’s only fitting the woman the notorious moonshiner was sweet on learned to stir the sugar. “He made the best moonshine this side of the Mississippi, and I don’t care what anybody else says,” Pam Sutton told Knox News. “A lot of these so-called moonshiners would come and buy it from Popcorn and take it back home and sell it as their own and tell people they made...

Barry Loudermilk (R-Georgia) has released video images from Jan. 6, 2021, showing the movements of a Capitol Police officer who Blaze News investigative journalist Steve Baker said appears to have given false testimony regarding his whereabouts that day during a key encounter with members of the Oath Keepers. Loudermilk, chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, said in a statement to Baker that he released the still frames — from closed-circuit TV video with timestamps — of U.S. Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus because "an allegation of a Capitol Police officer lying under oath...

Ukraine has already received more than $100 billion dollars in US aid for their war with Russia. The Biden Administration is asking for another $61 billion. Since the war seems to be a stalemate there doesn't appear to be much sense in investing more money in it. The argument that Putin is a "bad dude" is an insufficient rationale for funding more slaughter and destruction. Recent allegations of massive corruption in Ukraine's handling of the US aid raise more doubts about the wisdom of keeping on doing what we've been doing. In the light of these developments, Republicans in Congress...

The Department of Homeland Security partnered with Stanford University and other colleges to create a 'disinformation group' to censor speech leading up to the 2020 election, new emails reveal.

Phil Gurtler, a public affairs officer for the Great Lakes at the U.S. Coast Guard station in Cleveland, said a manpower shortage nationwide is forcing the decision to restore staffing and other resources to levels they should be in areas where service calls are highest. “We are going to reallocate some of the personnel and assets,” he said. On average, he explained, staffing at all locations is down by about 10 percent from what the Coast Guard feels a station should have to be “optimally manned.” The numbers reflect the growing challenge of recruiting people into the military over the...

The Australian government was left with almost 46m unusable face masks after handing $100m in Covid contracts to an obscure online retailer, who sourced the equipment via companies registered in the low-tax jurisdiction of Cyprus. The Department of Health awarded the contracts in April and June 2020 to Australian Business Mobiles NSW (ABM), a small company whose experience lay predominantly in selling air fryers, robot vacuum cleaners, bedding and massage guns. ABM sub-contracted the supply of the PPE to two companies registered in Cyprus, owned by twins Ricky and Evan Neumann. The Cyprus-registered companies made about $40m on the deals,...
