Investigators are still hunting for suspects seen at the January 6 Capitol attack two-and-a-half years ago, despite more than 1,000 arrests that include more than 350 people charged with "assaulting or impeding law enforcement".The riot has become a fractious topic for many conservatives, some of whom have decried the manner in which those who entered the Capitol building have since been treated.The riot began following a pro-Trump rally near the Capitol, with the crowd typically described as Trump-supporting.Yet a recent tweet by Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, suggested that an associate of the left-wing movement Antifa was also...

An enraged motorist has been filmed assaulting a Just Stop Oil protester in London, after a “slow walk” protest blocking traffic reportedly caused a pregnant woman to crash her car. Video of the incident posted online by the controversial group showed a man in a red hat punching a protester and knocking him to the ground before kicking him in the head. The man is seen furiously arguing with another person who steps in to intervene, before returning to a damaged silver Mercedes with his distressed female companion. The car appears to have been struck on the rear driver’s side...

Many find it shocking the Department of Justice (DOJ) could be capable of ginning up false allegations against a former president in a previous election and would again do the same prior to the 2024 election. This shock, however, is a mark of just how drastically conservatives have failed to recognize the long decline of the DOJ and its ultimate transformation into a political subsidiary of a radicalized Democratic Party. Conservatives would do well to observe seminal moments that have led the country’s top law enforcement entity to its present dire state. In that review, all roads ultimately lead back...

Our Republic is at risk from radical Republicans.We keep being told this, but somehow all the threats to legal decisions and legal norms seem to come from the Left.You have probably noticed the full-court press against the Supreme Court the Left has been playing. Constant threats to ignore its rulings, attacks on its integrity (which, in an unusual move, the Supreme Court Justices unanimously denounced), and threats to pack the Court to regain a Leftist majority.Now we have yet another direct attack on the Constitution and the legal system from the Arizona Attorney General.I always predicted that some state was...

Nanaimo RCMP say they’re looking to speak with key witnesses after arresting a man accused of deliberately setting several brush fires on Tuesday. Police were called to the area of Northfield Road and the Nanaimo Parkway just before noon to multiple witness reports a man was setting fires on walking trails.

London (AFP) – Revellers massed in central London Saturday for the annual Pride festival amid warnings that gay rights are under threat worldwide after decades of progress. Organisers, anticipating more than 1.5 million attendees in total over a day of marching and partying, defied threats of disruption from the climate action group Just Stop Oil. The group, which has been staging high-profile protests including at an England-Australia cricket match this week, was angered by Pride's partnership with headline sponsor United Airlines. Just Stop Oil had also demanded that Pride ban parade floats sponsored by "high-polluting industries", and nine of its...

It started with the peaceful protest of a “pride” drag show by a children’s theater group during the first-ever Pride Day in a small town near Portland, Ore. It could have ended there but for a brawl between the Proud Boys and the masked bunch who attempted to infiltrate the group on Saturday. The gauzy in-between of it all is being seized upon by politicos such as former Congressman Adam Kinzinger and Rep. Eric Swalwell to make their political points. Even Elon Musk wanted to know what was going on. Naturally, because the media and Democrat narrative prevails, the Proud...

Canadian fires set deliberately

CHEVY CHASE, Md. — As the group of about a dozen protesters rounded the corner and approached Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house on a leafy suburban street, the two deputy U.S. marshals on guard watched unmoved from their perch in the driveway. One whispered into his radio. The other took a sip from a coffee cup. The protesters, who had gathered on the evening of May 4, walked past the house singing “I went down to the rich man’s house and took back what he stole from me.” The deputy U.S. marshals watched but said nothing as the group passed. The...

PARIS, May 1 (Reuters) - French police clashed with black-clad anarchists in Paris and other big cities during trade union-organised protests against President Emmanuel Macron's increase in the retirement age, as workers joined Labour Day rallies across Europe. In the French capital, police were pelted with projectiles, ride-sharing bicycles were torched and bus stops smashed up just as the union-led march got underway from the central Place de la Republique. Unrest also erupted in Lyon, where several vehicles were set ablaze and some business premises were trashed, television images showed. In Nantes in western France, a fire blazed in front...

Hridindu Sankar Roychowdhury, 29, was arrested at Boston Logan Airport on Tuesday as he prepared to board a one-way flight to Guatemala City. During the incident in question, two Molotov cocktails were thrown into the office, and graffiti was spray-painted on the side of the building stating, "If abortions aren't safe then you aren't either."

According to Cal Fire, in 2019, they made 70 arson-related arrests statewide. And, in 2022, it more than doubled with Cal Fire making 163 arson-related arrests. Zulliger also said about 20% of their yearly calls are arson-related. “I would say, in general, arson is a crime just like any other crime,” Zulliger said. “So, when you see an increase of crime, in general, arson is going to rise with those other crime numbers as well.

"Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit, obtained by the Detroit News.

...Somehow, despite the accusations and criticisms from some of the most credible people in the race grievance industry, King has continued to raise money. It appears he’s used that money to make some very important purchases in the fight against racial injustice. Among those purchases is a $40,000 dog, a Mastiff for his family they named Marz. King’s PAC, Grassroots Law, has handed over the sum in a pair of payments to Potrero Performance Dogs in California since December, the Washington Free Beacon reported. The PAC paid Protero $10,000 in December, followed by a $30,650 payment in February. Days after...
