As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the lawsuit by Stephen Richer is backed by Protect Democracy, the same far-left Soros-tied nonprofit behind Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss’ $148 million defamation lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani after he claimed the two women contributed to voter fraud in Georgia’s 2020 election.

Jan 6 as related by DemocratsIf you want to see hyperbole in action, spend some time on Twitter (X). It is populated by quite a diverse assortment of liberal yokels. Someone seizes upon a theme and when the dog whistle is blown they come a runnin' for a day or two and then the air comes out of the balloon. But one theme persists-that Jan 6 was an insurrection. It wasn't. But that doesn't dissuade the left from continuing the nonsense.

Mayor Eric Adams wants to add trains and planes to his executive order limiting migrant buses arriving in the Big Apple — as City Hall attempts to stem the flood of asylum seekers now flocking in on New Jersey transit trains. The call comes as Adams was scheduled to huddle with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy over the new wrinkle in the crisis, which saw busloads of migrants thwarting the crackdown by heading to the Garden State, where asylum seekers would then hop trains into Manhattan. “We’re dealing with a person who just wants to disrupt,” Adams said Tuesday, referring...

Predictably, in her resignation statement, she played the victim, offered no apologies and blamed her downfall on those who exposed her misconduct. In a key passage showing that her sense of entitlement remains intact, she wrote that “it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor — two bedrock values that are fundamental to who I am — and frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus.” In another passage, she ignored the elephant in the room by insisting that her appointment let people from...

The United States Navy has appropriated $34 million for six new workforce initiatives at Bath Iron Works (BIW) as part of the Fiscal Year 2023 Defense Appropriations bill. This inclusion came at the request of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) as part of a larger effort to improve the infrastructure at shipyards responsible for building the Navy’s destroyers. “The crews of the Bath-built DDG-51 destroyers defending commercial shipping in the Red Sea today serve as vivid reminders of how important it is that the United States maintain a robust shipbuilding capability to support the U.S. Navy,” Sen.

Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'. They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors. But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme. 'Having the Koreans out front could have been a false flag to give China or another country plausible deniability if the...

New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay was furious on today's Morning Joe over Harvard's president Claudine Gay (no relation) being forced to resign. Mara Gay proclaimed "This is an attack on diversity. This is an attack on multiculturalism. I don’t have to say that they’re racist, because you can hear and see the racism in the attacks."In fact, it is the Claudine Gays of the academic world who are the biggest enemies of true diversity -- diversity of ideas. CG's the one, for example, who hounded two Harvard faculty members for failing to toe the DEI line. The...
