Two police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6 filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block rioters from receiving money from a new federal settlement fund. Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn filed the suit against the Trump administration's $1.77 billion anti-weaponization fund, calling it an illegal slush fund and a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act. Hodges is known for being caught on video nearly crushed in a doorway during the Capitol attack — widely regarded as one of the most violent moments of that day. Dunn has been vocal since the January 6 insurrection, testifying before Congress...

The Lectern Guy@lecternleader·3hOn a serious note, I am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week. Maybe I'll fly to DC and deliver it personally.My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books. What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods.I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey.My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is working to increase the retirement age for U.S. Capitol Police officers as the number of threats to lawmakers continues to climb and the department struggles to recruit and retain enough officers. Legislation passed unanimously by the Senate on Thursday would allow Capitol Police officers to apply to extend their service until age 62, while a bill passed by the House earlier this year would allow them to serve until age 65. That would raise the current age from 60 for officers who apply for waivers to work beyond the legal forced retirement age of 57...

The marker was installed on the Senate side of the Capitol and is expected to stay there until both chambers can agree on a more permanent place for it.Just before dawn Saturday, a plaque honoring U.S. Capitol Police along with other law enforcement agencies who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6 was installed. It comes more than five years after insurrectionists stormed the building. The Senate voted to install the plaque after the House GOP refused to display it. “I think that speaks volumes about, they’re doing this because they were forced to do it, and they did it in...

An 18-year-old man armed with a loaded shotgun allegedly rushed toward the West Front of the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, prompting a swift interception by U.S. Capitol Police. U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said that just before noon, the suspect got out of a Mercedes SUV and started running toward the capitol carrying a loaded shotgun and additional rounds. Officers intercepted the man, ordered him to drop the weapon, and took him into custody, according to Sullivan. The man, whose identity has not yet been released, was wearing a tactical vest, tactical gloves and had a Kevlar helmet and...

JERUSALEM – The board of a nonprofit organization on which Sen. Barack Obama served as a paid director alongside a confessed domestic terrorist granted funding to a controversial Arab group that mourns the establishment of Israel as a "catastrophe" and supports intense immigration reform, including providing drivers licenses and education to illegal aliens. The co-founder of the Arab group in question, Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi, also has held a fundraiser for Obama. Khalidi is a harsh critic of Israel, has made statements supportive of Palestinian terror and reportedly has worked on behalf of the Palestine Liberation Organization while it...

Police arrested Congressional Black Caucus chair Joyce Beatty on Thursday afternoon after she led pro-voting rights protesters into a Senate office building. Officers moved in as Beatty, 71, and a handful of other activists, including Women's March co-founders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, chanted, 'Fight for justice,' and, 'End the filibuster.' Capitol Police later said they had arrested nine people for 'demonstrating in a prohibited area on Capitol Grounds.'

A picture is beginning to emerge about the suspect accused of planting two pipe bombs next to Democratic and Republican headquarters on the eve of the 2021 Capitol riot, following his arrest on Thursday. Neighbours and family members described Brian Cole Jr, 30, as "naive" and a "quiet guy" who often walked a chihuahua in their Washington DC suburb. He also told investigators he thought the 2020 election was "rigged", US media reports say. Authorities arrested Mr Cole and charged him with attempted malicious destruction with explosive materials. The bombs did not detonate. He was arrested without incident, US Attorney...

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Investigators in Wyoming sought to identify two men they believe left a homemade bomb in front of the state Capitol, causing the building’s evacuation after a passerby found the object and brought it inside. The bomb, at a time of heightened political angst in the U.S., put the sleepy capital of the least-populated state on edge for awhile, with drones overhead and officers with bomb-sniffing dogs combing the Capitol grounds. But a day later, things appeared back to normal. No security was visible at the 135-year-old, sandstone building where visitors have always been able to more...

In an exclusive new interview, Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) — Chairman of the New January 6 Select Subcommittee — tells GP reporter Cara Castronuova that key evidence surrounding the January 6 pipe bomber was “mysteriously disappeared” or “corrupted,” raising questions about what Biden’s FBI and Pelosi’s Select Committee were hiding from the American people. VIDEO AT L:INK................ “The story that we were fed all this time doesn’t hold a lot of water,” Loudermilk said. “None of it makes logical sense.” **CROWD SOURCING ALL CITIZEN JOURNALISTS AND GP SLEUTHS! Please listen to the full interview and after hearing the evidence so...

Now that the curtain’s getting pulled back more and more on the January 6th setup… and yes, the infamous “Pipe Bomb” hoax that aged about as well as gas-station sushi, the bombshells are coming in fast and furious style. Most of us already knew J6 was less “insurrection” and much more “fedsurrection,” and that the pipe bomb story was a political fairytale. So, while a lot of people are done with bombshells and ready for indictments, it’s still worth connecting the dots. Because, let’s face it, if there’s one person who wants justice more than anyone, it’s President Trump… the...

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said."Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the...

A friend of mine sent me an email this morning asking why President Trump didn't simply "override" Speaker Pelosi and send in the National Guard on January 6, 2021....

Trump’s decision to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C., will be defended as a matter of national security. History teaches us this is not about protecting the people at all. The National Guard was deployed to protect the political class from the people. The United States is now following the same path we have seen throughout history. In ancient Rome, once the Praetorian Guard was stationed in the city to guard the emperor, it became the power behind the throne. Their loyalty was to themselves and the politicians in control at the moment. The guard was not sent to...

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day. ... But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol...

A former U.S. Capitol Police officer and Metropolitan Police officer suing to force the installation of a Jan. 6 memorial for law enforcement, a plaque authorized by Congress in 2022, slammed court filings from two convicted and pardoned rioters who the officers say are seeking to "relitigate the reality" of that fateful day. Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges' lawsuit has a straightforward purpose: compelling Architect of the Capitol Thomas Austin to put up the plaque as Congress expressly intended. Brian Mock and Cindy Lou Young, two of the many Jan. 6 convicts that received pardons from President Donald Trump, have...

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired more than 20 Department of Justice employees who were involved in investigating the January 6 protest and the case regarding President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to a new report. On Friday, at least 20 employees from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team were let go, including two prosecutors, seven support staff members, and U.S. Marshals, according to reports from Reuters and Axios. Per Axios: The firings are part of a massive purge aimed at clearing DOJ of attorneys and support staff who took part in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution of Trump...
