Republicans appear to have defended every U.S. House seat they won in California in 2020, despite determined Democratic efforts to take them back. The last undecided race in the nation, the contest in the newly-created 13th district in the Central Valley, Republican farmer John Duarte appeared to hold a narrow lead of several hundred votes over Assemblyman Adam Gray (D-Merced), such that some analysts were ready to call the race.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to dozens of major American cities were left behind when Black Lives Matter and other agenda-driven ideologies rioted after Floyd died while in custody of Minneapolis police early in 2020.

Mitt Romney (R-Utah) compared former President Trump to a failing pitcher on a baseball team who remains on the mound despite a series of losses, noting Trump has been the party leader as the GOP has had disappointing election outcomes in 2018, 2020 and 2022. Romney, a vocal critic of Trump in the Republican party, told the Associated Press that Trump has “been on the mound and lost three straight games.”

For the first time in nearly 30 years, Guam elected a Republican as its non-voting U.S. Congressional delegate on Tuesday. James Moylan, a senator in the island’s legislature, defeated Democrat Judith Won Pat by 1,648 votes out of 32,502 votes cast, according to the Pacific Daily News. The results are partial and unofficial. He was the first Republican elected to the position since 1993 and only the second since 1972, when the seat was created, the newspaper reported. As an island in the western Pacific Ocean, Guam was the first midterm contest decided on Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team thought that getting a case challenging Georgia’s election results before Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was their “only chance” to derail the Jan. 6, 2021 congressional vote count certifying the election of Joe Biden, newly published emails show. “We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue some sort of stay or other circuit justice opinion saying Georgia is in legitimate doubt,” Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a Dec. 31, 2020 message to his colleagues obtained by Politico. Though the states had certified Biden as the winner of...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” said the attack against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi was part of a recent surge in political violence that started with the riots in the summer of 2020 in the wake of the death of George Floyd. Anchor Chuck Todd said, “You had to cancel your outdoor inauguration at the start of 2021. It was the day after the January 6th attack. You talked about direct threats against your family. I think it was your COVID policies that seemed to fire up people to do these threats....

Bob Woodward writes in a new op-ed that former President Trump “continues to lead” a “seditious conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election” that the veteran Washington Post journalist believes will “destroy democracy” in the U.S. Woodward writes that “Trump has learned where the levers of power are” in the American government and is seeking to to pull them to gain full control. “And full control means installing absolute loyalists in key Cabinet and White House posts,” Woodward writes. “The record now shows that Trump has led — and continues to lead — a seditious conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election,...

Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman hypocritically wanted indefinite pandemic lockdowns. In an interview with John King on CNN on April 17, 2020, John Fetterman proposed that Pennsylvania should not lift pandemic restrictions, despite breaking the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s rules and going on vacation months later. “It wants to spread and what we’ve done in Pennsylvania through the governor’s aggressive stay-at-home orders has really stopped that, and I believe we’re plateaued. But we are weeks away from any kind of major announcement opening — if at all,” Fetterman said in a video unearthed by the Republican National Committee (emphasis...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Friday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that former President Donald Trump should not be too much of a “snowflake” to testify to the January 6 House Select Committee. Wagner said, “Do you expect that he is going to comment testify? I mean, there are reports that he’ll testify if he can do so live. Reports are the committee is considering that. But we have been down this road before where Donald Trump says, oh, yes, sure, I will absolutely testify, aka, the Mueller saga, and it never happens. What is your over under that he’s...

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, now an MSNBC contributor, is wholly perplexed by the fact that there is a share of independent and Democrat voters who say they would support a candidate who questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake torpedoed talking points about her being a 2020 “election denier” by listing numerous examples of Democrats behaving like “election deniers.”The moment occurred during a campaign stop on Tuesday when a reporter asked Lake about a recent spike in Google searches for her name and how so many people wanted to know if she was a “election denier.”That prompted her to cite the many instances of Democrats outright denying election results, from failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.“Here are 150 examples of Democrats denying election results,” said Lake as she...

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald J. Trump responded on Friday to a promised subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault with a lengthy, rambling letter that attacked the panel’s work, reiterated false claims of widespread voting fraud and presaged a potentially bruising battle over whether he would be compelled to testify about his role in the riot and his efforts to subvert the 2020 election. In a 14-page missive that did not address whether he would comply with the subpoena, Mr. Trump perpetuated the same lies that had fueled the attack and boasted about the size of...

President Joe Biden said Tuesday on “CNN Tonight” that he will decide if he is going to run for president in 2024 after the midterms and if he does, he said he believes he will beat former President Donald Trump again. Biden said, “I just think there’s, you know, it’s a matter of has anybody done more in the first two years of their administration? For a guy, they’ve been saying this about my age since I began to run. So, you know, you can come work out with me in the morning.” […] Biden said, “Well, look, I’m not...

Once referred to as America’s “newspaper of record,” the regime-approved New York Times is back with its latest “pie in the face” moment, and boy is it a doozy.On Monday, the left-wing outlet published a lengthy piece admonishing a group of “election deniers” and “conspiracy theorists” for expressing concerns last month that Konnech, a relatively small U.S. software company that handles poll worker data, “had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States.”“In the ensuing weeks, the conspiracy theory grew as...

Most readers already know that Tony Bobulinski was the business partner of Hunter Biden and his uncle, Jim Biden, the president’s brother, as they attempted to put together deals with foreign actors. That partnership broke up, and Bobulinski has become a whistleblower. But his efforts to interest the FBI in multiple Biden family felonies, including against him, have come to naught. Last night, in a second sit down interview with Tucker Carlson, Bobulinski laid out stunning details on how the FBI deep sixed any public revelations, much less indictments, based on what Bobulinski says are thousands of pages of proof,...

Charlie Kirk talks with John Solomon about the bombshell story of government-directed censorship during Election 2020 e Charlie Kirk: While I was getting ready to speak at the great Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, Producer Andrew was emailing me and texting me about the story that came out on the terrific website, justthenews.com. And I couldn’t quite process it in time. And then I had a chance to read it and the weekend happened and I saw Sean Hannity did a segment on this with John Solomon. And essentially, it turns out new documents show that there is a censorship machine...

Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski expressed outrage at the FBI's handling of damning information he provided them about the first son's business dealings involving his uncle, James Biden, Chinese and other foreign interests, and reportedly the current president of the United States himself. Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and the former head of SinoHawk Holdings, which he described as a partnership between the CEFC Chinese energy conglomerate and two Biden family members, told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in an exclusive interview Tuesday that he decrypted subtle word choices by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg from his own sit-down with UFC commentator...

As they say, life moves fast.On Monday, the New York Times published a story about a “small group of election deniers” who pushed a “conspiracy theory” that “a small American election software company, Konnech, had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States.”On Tuesday, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced that Eugene Yu, Konnech’s CEO, had been arrested in Michigan “as part of an investigation into the possible theft of personal identifying information of [LA County election] workers” and that...
