VIDEOHere it is. FIVE YEARS after January 6, 2021. For Liberals a very sad day because it did NOT turn out as they planned. They had hoped that their media aided crafting of the events of J6 would forever discredit President Donald Trump and MAGA. At first they thought their plan worked to the extent that Sleepy Joe early in 2021 gloated that perhaps the GOP wouldn't even exist by the following election. Unfortunately, inconvenient facts about J6 began trickling out from REAL journalists until the flood of suppressed information convinced the public to reject the Democrat J6 fictions by...

Faith leaders gather outside Trump Tower and call on county officials to roll back tax assessments and request lawmakers in Springfield to enact caps on the amount property taxes can be raised year over year. --SNIP-- Residential property tax bills are rising fastest in predominantly Black neighborhoods on the South and West sides because the county’s tax burden is being shifted away from the economic center of the city, according to a Cook County treasurer’s office report last month and a Sun-Times analysis of five years of tax bills. Other neighborhoods, such as Pilsen, have seen similar increases and th

HOUSTON — Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is warning Texans to stay alert as mysterious seed packages keep showing up in mailboxes across the state. Since February 2025, the Texas Department of Agriculture has collected 1,101 packs of unsolicited seeds from 109 locations across the state. Officials say the packages, often shipped from overseas, may look harmless but pose serious risks to crops and ecosystems. "At a glance, this might seem like a small problem, but this is serious business," Miller said. "The possible introduction of an invasive species to the state via these seeds poses real risks to Texas...

The Viking Ship Museum in Denmark recently announced an unprecedented discovery in the Øresund Strait: the world’s largest and most advanced medieval cargo ship ever found. Hailed as “a milestone in maritime archaeology,” the discovery occurred while divers were investigating the seabed in the Sound, in anticipation of Copenhagen’s new Lynetteholm district, and stumbled upon a record-breaking cog buried beneath centuries of sand and silt. Found approximately 43 feet deep, the precious wreckage escaped destructive forces, resulting in an extraordinary state of preservation that provided archaeologists with a rare, close-up look at never-before-seen details. “It is extraordinary to have so...

The conceptual Bulgarian-born artist Christo died over five years ago. It’s a shame, because the Democratic Party and the American left need him again. Christo, for those of you who aren’t into his “art,” was into wrapping stuff up. Not just like Christmas presents, although his work could be dismissed as such. No, he liked covering up stuff like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the Reichstag building in Berlin, and the gates in Central Park, New York. His work, ladies and gentlemen: Christo and his collaborator, Jeanne-Claude, may have been hacks of the highest order, but when it comes...

Explanation: How complex is Jupiter? NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter is finding the Jovian giant to be more complicated than expected. Jupiter's magnetic field has been discovered to be much different from our Earth's simple dipole field, showing several poles embedded in a complicated network more convoluted in the north than the south. Further, Juno's radio measurements show that Jupiter's atmosphere shows structure well below the upper cloud deck -- even hundreds of kilometers deep. Jupiter's newfound complexity is evident also in southern clouds, as shown in the texture and color enhanced featured image taken last month. There, planet-circling zones...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom showered praise on his Minnesota counterpart Tim Walz – and was promptly blasted for boosting his fellow Democrat in the wake of an alleged billion-dollar welfare scandal. Newsom spoke of Walz in glowing terms in a Monday social media post after the Minnesota pol dropped his gubernatorial reelection bid as welfare fraud accusations swirled. “Tim Walz is a man of character, strength, and compassion,” Newsom said on X. “Minnesota — and America — is better off thanks to his lifelong public service.” People were quick to react to Newsom’s post on social media, questioning his endorsement...

In a shocking betrayal of American sovereignty, Kaohly Vang, who brazenly admitted to being an illegal alien along with her parents due to fraudulent paperwork, was sworn in as St. Paul Mayor. Conservatives erupted in outrage, labeling Minnesota a national security threat riddled with corruption and voter fraud under Gov. Walz. Many users drew attention to the significant breach of national sovereignty and expressed shock at the lack of consequences. Others called for deportations or denaturalizations in response to this scandal. Many also tagged members of the Trump administration to bring order to this chaotic situation. Posting the news to...

SOMEWHERE IN THE NEVADA DESERT — U.S. President Donald Trump was spotted fleeing from international cops in a high-speed chase after allegedly breaking international law again. The International Police Squad is an elite law enforcement team that has been imbued with all the power and authority of the international community to enforce international laws, which are not "fake and gay" at all, as some claim. The sitting president of the United States set their alarm bells off after deciding to protect his country from a narcoterrorist communist dictator who was actively harming the people of Venezuela and the United States....

President Donald Trump told House Republicans on Tuesday, during remarks at their annual retreat, that ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro had tortured people, describing him as responsible for widespread violence and abuse. "He's a violent guy and he's killed millions of people," said Trump, in comments airing on Newsmax, while decrying Democrats' complaints about the weekend military operation that led to the capture of Maduro and his wife. "They have a torture chamber in the middle of Caracas that they're closing up. But he's tortured people," he said.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood by his new top tenant advocate Tuesday after her past inflammatory social media posts sparked a firestorm — and a warning shot from the Trump administration. Longtime housing activist Cea Weaver, the new director of the Office to Protect Tenants, received a boost from Mamdani even as controversy engulfed his administration over her recently unearthed posts branding homeownership “a weapon of white supremacy” and declaring, “Seize private property.” “We made the decision to have Cea Weaver serve as our executive director for the mayor’s office to protect tenants, to build on the work that she has...

While no Democrat has won statewide in Texas in more than 30 years, Cornyn's seat is an especially tough nut to crack... This year's contest, however, is marked by an especially bitter Republican primary headlined by Cornyn, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and U.S. Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston. Many Democrats believe that provides them with an opening. Numerous polls suggest their best chance will come if Paxton — who has a history of scandals and is in the midst of a high-profile divorce from his wife, McKinney state Sen. Angela Paxton – becomes the GOP nominee. Two major Democratic...

Gov. Brian Kemp has set a special election for Tuesday, March 10, 2026, to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s 14th congressional district. On Nov. 21, 2025, Greene - who was elected to the northwest Georgia district in 2020 and overwhelmingly re-elected since - said she was resigning over her disillusionment with the nation’s current political climate, stemming from a recent political split with President Donald Trump. The election will decide who will fill the rest of Greene’s 2026 term. About an hour after Kemp’s announcement, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office announced the qualifying dates: Monday, Jan. 12,...

The red-green alliance is the greatest threat to human survival. The global left is not a political movement; it is a parasitic organism that feeds on the foundations of sovereign nations. For decades, it has operated as the primary architect of chaos, hiding behind the veneers of "human rights" and "social justice" while systematically empowering the most regressive forces on the planet. From the destruction of Imperial Iran to the current subversion of the United States, the left’s objective remains constant: the eradication of excellence, nobility, and national identity. To understand the left’s methodology, one must look at the 1979...

In one of his autopen’s last acts before Joe Biden left office was to pardon Capt. Mike Byrd, the DC officer who shot and killed January 6 protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood during the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. As TGP’s Brian Lupo noted, video evidence captured Byrd shooting an unarmed Babbitt without warning as she attempted to climb through a narrow window near a barricaded entryway to the Speaker of the House’s office area in the U.S. Capitol. Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although questions remain about the escalation to lethal...
