The truth is starting to work its way to the surface and it does not bode well for Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and the fake news media. Recent footage released by InvestigateJ6 reveals police officers started firing on an unsuspecting crowd without warning. The Trump supporters had no idea they were going to be fired on by heavily armed police. The Trump supporters also had no idea that federal officers, and undercover police had invaded the pro-Trump crowd that had worked its way to the US Capitol. This video below by Investigate J6 is devastating. It shows police firing on...

An outspoken pro-war blogger who has fiercely criticised Russia's military strategy in Ukraine has said he wants to challenge Vladimir Putin in next March's presidential elections. Igor Girkin, 52, led pro-Russian fighters in eastern Ukraine in 2014, following Moscow's annexation of the southern Crimea peninsula. Girkin is in jail awaiting trial for extremism, which he denies. He said he wanted to disrupt the "sham" poll with the winner already known. This comment is widely seen in Russia as a reference to President Putin, who is yet to publicly declare that he will run again. In a letter to supporters published...

Europe and the U.S. have been arguing that wealthier emerging economies such as China and Saudi Arabia should also give money to the fund. Hoekstra said that what is true for the European Union and North America should be true for any country in a position of economic and geopolitical strength. “And that means driving down emissions and doing your fair share in covering the bill for those who cannot,” he said. Given the magnitude of the problem, “every single country with the ability to pay and the ability to contribute should contribute,” he said. A statement issued by China’s...

A former editor for the left-leaning website The Recount has reportedly been charged with multiple counts of child pornography. According to Massachusetts authorities, 44-year-old Slade Sohmer has pleaded not guilty to two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of dissemination of child pornography. Sohmer was arrested at his residence in Otis, Mass., on Friday, several weeks after law enforcement obtained a search warrant and confiscated his personal electronic devices.

Millennial and Gen-Z women say they've been inspired to convert to Islam by the Israel-Hamas war - and are sharing their religious awakenings on TikTok. Recent converts say the conflict, which began with the murder of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, become a driving factor for their decision to join the Muslim faith. Experts suggested for many, the choice is the 'ultimate rebellion against the West'. Among those sharing their journey is a self-described 'leftist queer gremlin' named Alex, who recently purchased a copy of the Quran - even though most interpretations of Islam take a dim view of LGBT...

Mormon leaders are 'covering up' an 'epidemic' of sexual abuse that rivals scandals exposed within the Catholic church, victims have alleged to DailyMail.com. The Utah-based religion has repeatedly protected perpetrators and punished those who speak out in a bid to protect its reputation 'at all costs', it is claimed. Victims believe abuse is 'rampant', with Mormon families said to be suffering 'extremely high rates of incest'. Young girls subjected to horrific abuse say they are told to 'forgive' their assailants and discouraged from reporting it to the police. The Mormon church has been embroiled in several high profile cases in...

Months ago, I was asked to give a lecture at the Federalist Society’s National Lawyers Convention. It was a surprising invitation for a number of reasons. First, I am not a lawyer. Second: I am not a member of the Federalist Society—the libertarian and conservative legal organization. (If the name rings a bell it’s probably because you’ve heard of it in the context of the hearings of any of the conservative justices who currently sit on the court.) Third: if you look at the people who previously gave this particular lecture—Supreme Court Justices, attorneys general, people like Bill Barr, Don...

Guadalcanal Diary is the first real American combat document of World War Two, written by a war correspondent who had gone ashore with the Marines in the first U.S. ground offensive in the Pacific. Richard Tregaskis wrote it for an audience who were desperate to know what their sons, husbands, brothers and friends were experiencing as soldiers, fighting an enemy they probably hadn't given much though to just over a year earlier.It's an actual diary, compiled from Tregaskis' notes, and amidst the accounts of encounters and movement and excitement and discomfort you'd expect from a diary, it has occasional moments...

Free Press founder/editor Bari Weiss has posted the text of her Federalist Society Barbara K. Olson lecture “You are the last line of defense” together with video at The Free Press. Weiss’s lecture runs to some 4,000 words, but nothing in it is superfluous. Nothing is expendable. Events have not superseded it. The message remains urgent. Here is an excerpt taken from the top of Weiss’s remarks: Some Israelis were literally disappeared on October 7—burned at such high heat that volunteers are still sifting through the bones and the remnant teeth to identify them. But we know that more than...

Commentary on the war between Gaza and Israel has descended to a level of epic cluelessness. As, for example, this headline in the Star Tribune: “Their families wiped out, grieving Palestinians in Gaza ask why.”Why? Because you started a war, dummies. Maybe this will teach you not to do it next time.

Many Americans have noticed a disturbing rise in antisemitism in the country since October 7th. We're not naive, we realize it's sadly been there for a long time, but people are no longer trying to hide it ... One has to wonder why. Welp, a big chunk of the 'why' has to do with our pals in the mainstream media who, for whatever reason, seem to think they can trust Hamas for sources in their reporting. We made a similar face. David Collier put together a damning thread showing who exactly the media has been relying on for tips and...

CHICAGO — Marcus Brewer has the rare honor of being mentioned in two Cook County sheriff’s office press releases in under a month. The first announced that he had been swept up in a human trafficking and prostitution sting. The second announced that deputies and a U.S. Marshal’s task force tracked him down after he failed to appear in court. So what happened after the task force hauled him before a judge for failing to appear in court last week? The judge released him again. Brewer, 36, was charged last month with promoting prostitution after a sheriff’s office vice unit...

JERUSALEM, Israel — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his opposition Saturday night to a proposal by U.S. President Joe Biden to restore control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority (PA) once Hamas is removed from power and destroyed. On Saturday, Biden published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which he supported Israel, though once again joining the Israeli cause to the Ukrainian one, putting Hamas and Russia in the same category as enemies of the United States. Biden also reiterated his support for a “two-state solution” as the only answer to the conflict, and added: “As we strive...

A stunning 8 in 10 Britons are dissatisfied with how Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government is running the country amid growing concerns about the future of the UK economy and public services. The latest Ipsos Political Monitor, conducted between the 1st and 8th of November, found that just 13 per cent of the public are satisfied with the way the government is running the country, compared about 80 per cent who disapprove.

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. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles 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 a vehicle is captured and then...

Argentines will vote on Sunday in a run-off election to choose the man who will lead the South American country for the next four years. Opinion polls put the two candidates, left-wing economy minister Sergio Massa and far-right libertarian Javier Milei, neck and neck. Mr Massa won the first round with 36.7%, ahead of Mr Milei with 30%. But polls suggest Mr Milei, who has promised to "blow up" Argentina's political system, has made gains since. Polling gets under way at 08:00 local time (11:00 GMT) and closes at 18:00. With 40% of Argentines living in poverty, high prices and...

In case you haven’t noticed – The Biden regime hates America. Joe Biden’s handlers are out to destroy the country. Every single policy is meant to make life harder, more expensive, less free, and more dangerous for Americans. Crazy Biden energy secretary, jennifer Granholm, who has successfully decimated US energy independence, is now under fire for inviting top Russian and Chinese officials to tour the National Nuclear Security Administration site in Nevada— where sensitive nuclear experiments are carried out. https://twitter.com/VRWCTexan/status/1722678378300424360? https://twitter.com/Travis_in_Flint/status/1722665804305477814? Obviously, this won’t be making any headlines. Townhall reported: A senior Biden official is under fire after reports reveal...

A former South Carolina teacher was arrested Wednesday for preying on a 17-year-old high school football player, according to a local news station. Married mother-of-two Reagan Anderson, 27, is facing two counts of sexual battery on a Holly Hill Academy student for the alleged abuse, WCSC reported. The alleged victim's mother blasted Anderson at a bond hearing on Thursday. "A trusted coach, teacher and friend that abused our trust and violated her oath as an educator. She has ruined our son's life," the teen's mother read from a statement in court. "He should be 100% focused on being a fun-loving...

One of the best-known stories from the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war is the story of Rachel Edri—the Israeli grandmother from the city of Ofakim in the Southern District of Israel, who was held hostage by five terrorists whom she stalled by cooking for them; giving them cookies, pineapple, Coke Zero, and coffee; and chatting with them until she and her husband were rescued, 19 hours later. The entire world heard of this woman’s level-headedness and resourcefulness, which saved her life. The beautiful and moving narrative of this quintessential Jewish mother, who knows that the best way to keep someone...
