A bombshell report from the office of U.S. Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed that the FBI was present and involved in the events of January 6, 2021, with IG Horowitz saying that the initial reports from the FBI related to January 6 were “inaccurate” and not reflective of what actually transpired at the U.S. Capitol. For context, in a press release from December 12, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, Michael E. Horowitz, confirmed that after a thorough review, it was clear that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was involved in responding to the...

I picked a J6 case at random to review because I wanted to see how bad it was. And let me tell you the random one I picked did not disappoint. This defendant went into the capital and walked down the corridor. He was not accused of violence. He did not break anything. He did not hurt anybody. He was sentenced by a jury to 19 months in prison he was overcharged by the prosecutor to the point where it should be called malicious prosecution, and a judge rubber stamped every single thing the prosecutor asked for. The most egregious...

Capitol Police arrested a staffer for Sen. Cory Booker who was carrying a gun Monday evening, hours after the New Jersey Democrat kicked off a marathon “filibuster” speech in the upper chamber. “Yesterday afternoon a Member of Congress led an IDed staff member around security screening at the Hart Senate Office Building. Later that evening, outside the Senate Galleries, the IDed staff member — who is a retired law enforcement officer — told our officers he was armed,” a rep for US Capitol Police said in a statement Tuesday. “The staff member, 59-year-old Kevin A. Batts of New Jersey, was...

Blaze News’ Steve Baker exposes Aaron Black, who he has dubbed “Pelosi’s precious,” for allegedly lying about his role at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Did Black, known to associates as Nancy Pelosi’s “fixer,” orchestrate agitators at the riot and skew the narrative to benefit Democrats? And did he lie about his presence at the Capitol during the riot? Baker joins Glenn Beck (‪@glennbeck‬) to break down the findings recorded in a Blaze News exclusive report, including Black’s history of fomenting unrest using CIA-style color revolution tactics and his deep connections to Pelosi.

Transgender activists stormed the Iowa Capitol on Thursday as lawmakers consider a bill that would eliminate “gender identity” as a protected class from state civil rights law. “Hundreds of Iowans again packed the Iowa Capitol rotunda to protest the bill, waving pride flags, holding signs and chanting ‘no hate in our state’ and ‘you represent us.’ A line of protesters led out the building’s door as more people waited to be let inside,” the Des Moines Register reported.

Activists are protesting outside of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC, on Presidents Day, claiming to stand against “executive overreach.” “​​The #50501 protests were a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies,” the movement’s website states. “The idea—50 protests in 50 states on 1 day—was born on r/50501 and spread rapidly on social media,” it explains. One of those protests is taking place in the nation’s capital. The event page has a series of sign suggestions for participants, including “Down with authoritarianism,” “Hands off our federal dollars,” “Bring back...

WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Wednesday held top officials at the Washington, D.C., Department of Corrections in civil contempt, after ruling they violated the civil rights of a U.S. Capitol riot defendant by impeding his access to medical care. "It is more than just inept and bureaucratic shuffling of papers," U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth said. "I find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abridged. I don't know if it's because he is a Jan. 6 defendant or not, but I find that this matter should be referred to the attorney general of...

Just as fate brought Donald Trump improbably back to the presidency, there is cosmic irony in the last-minute change of venue for his swearing-in today. The polar vortex that brought snow and arctic temperatures to Washington meant the official moment of Trump’s comeback triumph had to be moved into the Capitol Rotunda, the very scene of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that Democrats and the media catastrophized to try to destroy him and his America First populist nationalist movement. Who would have thought back then that Trump would be taking the oath of office in the same sacred place that...

The special agent in charge of the Secret Service's Washington, D.C., field Office said Monday there is a higher threat environment for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20 that in previous years and that there will be a more robust security plan.

The inauguration will be coming after D.C. had seen enhanced security measures following Congress' certification Jan. 6 of Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris...

VIDEOOut of the THOUSANDS of supposed "insurrectionists" from January 6, 2021 only ONE, count 'em, ONE could not be tracked via cell phone data. Why? Because, aw gee, although everyone else was easily traced via cell phone data it turned out that ONLY the pipe bomber could not be identified because his cell phone data was corrupted. To quote Steven D'Antuono the lead FBI investigator attempting to identify the pipe bomber, "It just sucks for everyone!"

In the four years since the Capitol riot, Democrats have tried incessantly to turn it into a national tragedy akin to 9/11 and/or the Pearl Harbor attack. With the goal of preventing Trump from being able to seek the presidency again, they even called it an insurrection (it wasn’t) and accused Trump of inciting it (he didn’t). Their efforts failed, and Trump was reelected on November 5, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win the national popular vote since George W. Bush. Oh, what a sweet victory it was. On Monday, Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris was certified, and...

WASHINGTON — The congressional joint session to count electoral votes on Monday is expected to be much less eventful than the certification four years ago that was interrupted by a violent mob of supporters of then-President Donald Trump who tried to stop the count and overturn the results of an election he lost to Joe Biden.This time, Trump is returning to office after winning the 2024 election that began with Biden as his party’s nominee and ended with Vice President Kamala Harris atop the ticket. She will preside over the certification of her own loss, fulfilling the constitutional role in...

A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence. The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators. In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.” However, according to the whistleblower, the...

Elon Musk, the co-head of President-elect Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, met with incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) Thursday morning ahead of meetings later in the day with Senate and House Republicans. Musk walked into Thune’s office with one of his children perched atop his shoulders. “I think we should be spending the public’s money wisely,” he told reporters while walking through the Capitol’s hallways. Musk has said he wants to cut at least $2 trillion from the federal budget, which now exceeds $6 trillion a year. But any proposed cuts would likely face substantial opposition in...

Democrats long ago became convinced that the January 6, 2021, Capitol "insurrection," coupled with desperate attempts to convince a majority of Americans that President-elect Donald Trump is the second coming of Adolf Hitler, or at least a "fascist," and that Trump loyalists are white-supremacist "Nazis," would virtually guarantee Democrat succession of Democrat of President Joe Biden. Boy, oh boy, how wrong and misguided they were. The House January 6 Committee Report.. As described by George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turl(''): Whether you refer to that day as a riot or an insurrection puts you on one side or...
