THAT WAS FAST: Minutes after Biden took office, the Report of President Trump’s 1776 Commission (on which my colleague Peter Kirsanow served) was taken off the White House website. I am told a Biden Executive Order has abolished the 1776 Commission already. This afternoon I got an email from Pete. As he put it, this “tells you everything about the Left’s priorities–can’t have the truth about America out there for even a minute” and “I’m sure the Fahrenheit 451 crowd is tracking down every copy they can.”

“Federal prosecutors quietly closed the investigation into a leak of General Mike Flynn’s calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak to Washington Post reporter David Ignatius. According to the New York Times, prosecutors found no wrongdoing by Obama officials involved in the leak of sensitive information (potentially classified) to the media.“ PROSECUTORS NOT INTERESTED

As Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is sworn in as the 46th President of the United States of America today, while the U.S. Senate takes up the second impeachment attempt against Donald J. Trump by the House of Representatives, we are left with some thorny issues that deserve answers sooner than later.Looking Beyond WordsAs Nathaniel Fischer reminds us, “When judging a statesman, we must look beyond his words and values to assess his true impact. While good values can play an important role, impact also depends on prudence to navigate contemporary challenges, the work ethic to push for results, and the...

If there has been one politician on these pages we have WARNED ABOUT over the years it is Senator Mitch McConnell. The Senate Majority Leader is the most conniving, cunning and Machiavellian member of the republican party.With his positions solidifying CTH warnings for well over a decade, his actions over the past several weeks now highlight the dark background of his politics. Today, McConnell took the final stab at the people’s president as Donald Trump prepares to depart the White House. The bloom is off the ruse:video at the link>>The institution of the modern UniParty senate chamber requires a voter...

On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning." Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage. At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship. Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris -- an extraordinarily and transparently manipulative and mechanical politician -- spouted a canned speech about relentlessness. "I was raised to not hear no -- let me be clear about it," said Harris. "I eat no for breakfast!" This prompted...

<p>THOUSANDS Lined the streets of Palm Beach, Florida today to welcome President Trump home from the DC Swamp.</p><p>After four long years of constant and unprecedented attacks by Democrats, their fake news media it must feel good to be back in Florida.</p>

Turns out our flippant speculation about Joe Scarborough's fragile psyche wasn't so funny after all. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough made the stunning admission that at times during the last four years, he was so "agitated" by the news that "Mika would have to watch the news for me."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Georgia’s new senators, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, are getting sworn in the same day the nation’s new president is giving the Democrats effective control of the 50-50 Senate. After a Capitol riot aimed at stopping the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral count, then an impeachment and scorched-earth debate on political extremism, the Peach State’s Senate runoffs of just two weeks ago seem like old news.There is, however, a common thread you can draw from Donald Trump’s actions in this election to outcomes that hurt the Republican Party, the conservative movement, and, more importantly, the country. Yes, other people were...

"If I'm your president," Joe Biden promised at the Democratic National Convention last summer, "on day one we'll have a national mask mandate." Now that Biden is the president, his policy has changed from a general requirement to an executive order that applies only on federal property and interstate transportation. While supporters of a nationwide face mask mandate to combat COVID-19 may be disappointed, constitutionalists should be pleased. The switch is a hopeful sign that Biden acknowledges limits to presidential power, even during a public health emergency. Until he backtracked in September, Biden had been promising that he would "do...

Ever since the election, I was exceedingly confident that President Trump would prevail in the end. Mountains of evidence of widespread voter fraud was available within a week after the election and only grew with every passing day. But invariably, it was ignored by mainstream media and suppressed by Big Tech.This didn’t shake my confidence because I made a false assumption. Between the state legislatures and the judicial branch, I assumed there was enough support for exposing the facts to circumvent the propaganda and false narratives. My assumption was there were honorable people intermingled among The Swamp to make sure...

Ukraine confirms Biden Corruption in Press ConferenceUkraine confirms Biden Corruption in Press Conference. The whole thing was over 1 hour long, with bank records and witnesses.

The nice thing about a crisis–you quickly learn who are your enemies and who are your trusted friends. The theft of the 2020 Presidential Election by the Democrats, Big Tech and foreign governments (with China playing a leading role) is a dark cloud with a silver lining. We now know that you cannot and should not trust the Republican Party. Period. The last straw was today. Mitch McConnell, a craven, corrupt snake, falsely accused President Trump of inciting a riot. Trump did no such thing but leave to a dishonest cretin like McConnell to engage is such villainous slander. I...

... In the 1960s, the liberal-progressive establishment successfully managed black anger, which became explosive in major cities, by accommodating demands for civil rights and allocating vast sums for economic uplift while preserving America’s existing hierarchies of wealth and power.... Ronald Reagan’s uncompromising clarity about the moral evil of the Soviet Empire helped bring the Cold War to a successful conclusion. Nonetheless, the end of communism strengthened the liberal-progressive establishment. In the cultural mythology of the twentieth century, the moderation of the volatile class resentments of the modern era is credited entirely to managerial liberalism. The same is assumed when it...

Fox News Just reported that VP Mike Pence will not attend President Trump’s farewell ceremony, but he will ensure he’s at Biden’s inauguration. UPDATE: CNN covers for Biden and says it’s a time constraint… we are raising the BS flag on that. Trump send off is at 8am, the inauguration begins at 11am, that’s a 3 hour window for a 5 min helicopter ride from Andrews AFB to the National Mall. — Vice President Mike Pence is not expected to attend President Trump’s departure ceremony at Joint Base Andrews, according to two Pence sources. Logistically, the sources said it would...

You are no longer allowed to question the regime. Questioning the fraudulent election will no longer be tolerated. So what if Pennsylvania had 205,000 more mail-in ballots than the number that were sent out? You are not allowed to question the results. So what if GOP poll workers were locked out of the counting rooms in Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee? You are not allowed to question the results. So what if they were trucking trailers full of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania and into Wisconsin? How dare you question this operation? So what if they were rolling out suitcases...

America’s Demise Is Near At Hand America R.I.P. Paul Craig Roberts For years I have been cataloging America’s decline into collapse, not merely economic collapse from economic concentration and the offshoring of jobs and investment, but also the collapse of the belief system that created some unity among a diverse population. Today not only is the economy done for, but so is the belief system that sustained social and political stability. America no longer exists. A geographical entity exists of diverse peoples and interests, but not a country, much less a nation. The United States itself has degenerated into an...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic congresswoman from New York, flashed a double white-power symbol during a Zoom conference about New York City’s crime uptick. Perhaps it was just an “OK” sign or even just a mindless gesture, but that doesn’t matter these days. During the Zoom video, which The Hill uploaded to its YouTube channel Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez spoke to constituents and answered press questions about rising crime rates in the Big Apple. She pointed to the Wuhan virus, financial instability, and police brutality as reasons for the rise in crime, failing to mention anything about the violent riots that swept the...

Biden’s camp is becoming increasingly paranoid after stealing the 2020 election. In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad. In fact, there are more US troops in the nation’s capital today than in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan combined. Armed US troops authorized to use lethal force are manning checkpoints to enter and leave downtown Washington, D.C. Green Zone and and Red Zone perimeters have been established. Several bridges into the city from neighboring Virginia are scheduled to be closed next week for the inaugural. Razor wire...

For months now, since Election night on November 3rd, The Gateway Pundit has been exposing the massive and unprecedented fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The days when Democrats find 500 ballots in a trunk of a car are over. Today their election fraud includes likely every segment of the election process from illegal voters to fraudulent counting. Since the US Capitol rioting on January 6th the Democrat-Media Complex, including the tech giants, will no longer allow ANY discussion on fraud in the 2020 election. Democrats and RINO Republicans like Lindsey Graham are determined to shut this discussion down. This...

When Sundown Joe takes office on Wednesday, the old gang will be back in the saddle again: the foreign policy establishment hacks who have done nothing but fail, fail, and fail again, and in response keep getting rewarded not with dismissal and a forced return to private life, but with honors, awards, and promotions. AFP reported Saturday that Biden has appointed Wendy Sherman, whose chief claim to fame is negotiating the notorious Iran nuclear deal, to be deputy secretary of state. It’s a classic example of failing up. Biden said of Sherman and anti-Russia career diplomat Victoria Nuland, whom he...
