Liz Cheney Under Fire: Damning Accusations of Evidence Concealment Rock J6 Committee. Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s actions on the January 6 Committee have come under scrutiny amid allegations of evidence suppression. A recently unearthed transcript reveals that the committee may have concealed crucial information regarding President Donald Trump’s purported push for 10,000 National Guard troops to safeguard the capital. Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims that the White House had offered to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops ahead of January 6. A suppressed transcript from an early interview with Deputy Chief...

Over the weekend, the Biden administration ratcheted up its rhetoric against Israel’s fight against the terrorist group Hamas, as Vice President Kamala Harris declared that there could be “consequences” for Israel if it invades the southernmost Gazan city of Rafah, which remains the last major stronghold of Hamas. Experts and lawmakers say that despite the difficult situation in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees are encamped, the U.S. must support Israel’s military efforts to rid Gaza of Hamas in the wake of the terrorist group’s October 7 atrocities.

A commuter was struck and killed by a Manhattan subway train Monday after being shoved onto the tracks by an emotionally disturbed person in an unprovoked attack, according to police and sources. The victim was pushed onto the tracks as a northbound 4 train was entering the East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station in East Harlem just before 7 p.m., police sources said. The train was unable to stop in time and fatally struck the individual, an adult male whose identity has not been released. The man was pronounced dead shortly after and a suspect, described as an emotionally...

Lucid said on Monday it is raising $1 billion in capital from an affiliate of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), sending the shares of the luxury electric carmaker up about 8%. The latest investment by the sovereign wealth fund underscores a key advantage Lucid has in the race for survival among struggling EV startups. The Saudi government, which has a 60% stake, has invested billions in Lucid’s success as part of a strategy to diversify the Kingdom’s economy beyond oil. Ayar Third Investment Company, a PIF affiliate, will buy $1 billion in convertible preferred stock and will be able...

At the nexus of most of America’s current crises, the diversity/equity/inclusion dogma can be found. The southern border has been destroyed because the Democratic Party wanted the poor of the southern hemisphere to be counted in the census, to vote if possible in poorly audited mail-in elections, and to build upon constituencies that demand government help. Opposition to such cynicism and the de facto destruction of enforcement of U.S. immigration law is written off as “racism,” “nativism,” and “xenophobia.”The military is short more than 40,000 soldiers. The Pentagon may fault youth gangs, drug use, or a tight labor market. But...

The Chinese Communist Party has aggressively built up its military, expanding its arsenal of both conventional and nuclear capabilities. The growth was largely funded by its rival, the United States.That is one of the arguments made by James Fanell, a retired U.S. Navy captain, and Bradley Thayer, a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy, a Washington-based think tank, during a recent interview with EpochTV’s “American Though Leaders“ program.“The Chinese Navy now is over 150 naval combatants greater than the U.S. Navy. They are now the largest navy in terms of numbers of hulls and tonnage,” said Mr. Fanell,...

Not all news in the polling world is bad for Biden. But most of it is, as in the new Harvard-Harris poll released today. The top-line of the poll isn't encouraging, but the "internals" of the poll are simply devastating. It's pretty clear that if voters felt better about the alternatives to Biden the president would be toast in this election. 🇺🇲 2024 GE: "If Trump is convicted of crimes related to his handling of classified presidential documents"🟥 Trump 54% (+8)🟦 Biden 46%—If Trump is convicted for inciting the Capitol riots of January 6th, who would you vote for?🟦 Biden...

Gut bacteria and a diet rich in the amino acid tryptophan can play a protective role against pathogenic E. coli, which can cause severe stomach upset, cramps, fever, intestinal bleeding and renal failure, according to a study. The research reveals how dietary tryptophan—an amino acid found mostly in animal products, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes—can be broken down by gut bacteria into small molecules called metabolites. It turns out a few of these metabolites can bind to a receptor on gut epithelial (surface) cells, triggering a pathway that ultimately reduces the production of proteins that E. coli use to...

Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system.. The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT's key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched. 90% of the world's central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don't want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with...

The California company working to start a deluxe overnight passenger train between San Francisco and Los Angeles says it has signed a “landmark memorandum” with Union Pacific Railroad. It’s not a final contract, but Dreamstar Lines of Newport Beach said the memorandum of understanding “formaliz[es] the parties’ negotiations toward a comprehensive final agreement” and “identifies the fundamental terms for Dreamstar to operate its trains” on UP’s Coast Line via Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and San Jose. Dreamstar wants to start the service in summer 2025. Union Pacific owns most of the 470-mile route. To complete the link between San...

Well, retracts is too strong a word, at least so far. Instead they have memory-holed the story, removing it from their website without having to admit that they were wrong. Anybody familiar with the war in Gaza had a right to suspect that the story was fabricated, not because sexual assaults don't happen in war, but because the story had the stench of propaganda all over it. Al Jazeera forced to retract fabricated story of IDF troops assaulting Palestinian women.The story accused, without evidence, Israeli troops of s**ually assaulting multiple Palestinian women in Shifa Hospital.The Qatari owned media outlet has...

Joe Biden abandoned Israel on Monday when he refused to have the U.S. veto a UN Security Council resolution. The resolution called for an immediate ceasefire, which would then stop Israel from wiping out the Hamas terrorists. The ceasefire was not conditional on releasing the hostages, according to the Israeli UN ambassador Gilad Erdan. Republicans, including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted Biden for throwing Israel under the bus and throwing a lifeline to Hamas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also ripped the move, saying that he would be canceling a trip to D.C. that his...

Putin lets his people die to cover up the truth about Islam. Biden and the EU says that Vladimir Putin is nothing like them, but in at least one area, he’s very much like them. After the Islamic terror attack in Moscow by Muslim migrants, Putin, the Russian regime and its online ‘IRA’ influencers are choosing to blame everyone, from Ukraine to America and Israel, rather than Islam. Putin claimed that the Islamic terrorists were headed for Ukraine. Why go to Ukraine when there are plenty of Islamic enclaves in and around Russia? After having hosted a terror summit that...

President Biden’s poll numbers have been in the tank in recent months, with several showing former President Trump beating him in November’s presidential election.But the news gets worse for the commander-in-chief as a survey released Monday by the “In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda” group shows that enthusiasm for the president among black voters has plunged since his election in 2020. The bloc is crucial to his reelection chances as he took in 87 percent of their votes last time around. The percentage he takes won’t matter much if the turnout numbers crater.The report found that...
