Well, looks like another Deep State darling is biting the dust. This time, it’s Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger—and let’s just say, the timing is more than a little suspicious. ... Chief J. Thomas Manger will retire from the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, his office announced Tuesday. […] Manger’s four years on the Hill weren’t without incident. In January, a man managed to slip a handgun past security while on a Capitol tour. The incident provoked bipartisan condemnation from House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and ranking member Joseph D. Morelle, D-N.Y. “The USCP has requested a nearly...

Tarik Johnson posted a shocking report on X that he said could not wait until Monday morning. According to Tarik Johnson, a House staffer gained entry into one of the House office buildings that leads to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday and he was in possession of a gun! The staffer was reportedly caught and arrested. Tuesday night was President Trump's much anticipated speech to a joint session of Congress and to the nation. According to Tarik Johnson: Emergency Update!!!!!!! I was going to wait until Monday for this but things are developing rapidly so I must inform the public...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson Former US Capitol Officer Harry Dunn BLOWS UP on J6 patriot and gets HUMILIATED: Dunn: “Pull that same sh*t you did on J6th” J6er: “Do I have permission to go in again?” Dunn: “What’d you do to get in?” J6er: “Asked an officer and they said yes.”

As Jim Hoft reported earlier, Joe Biden pardoned Tony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the entire J6 Select Committee of liars in his final act as president. They were all faithful servants to the Democrat machine. Now comes their reward. Now, we learn Biden has extended one final middle finger to the victims of J6 by pardoning all of the Capitol police officers who testified regarding the J6 protests. This means a full pardon to incompetent US Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who killed Air Force veteran and American war hero Ashli Babbitt.

There is a video from Tommy Tatum that shows Rosanne allegedly shot in the face by police before she was knocked to the ground and smothered and before Officer Morris beat her dead. In the video, you clearly see J6 defendant Philip Anderson duck as a projectile is shot at him as he was stuck in the crowd of Trump supporters in the West Tunnel. Philip and Rosanne and dozens of Trump supporters were clearly “stuck” in the tunnel and could not move in any direction. When Philip was able to duck, the projectile, likely a pepper ball, hit Rosanne...

United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers prevent a man from bringing a machete and three knives past a screening checkpoint in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). Just after 2:00 p.m., during security screening at the CVC’s north doors, USCP officers spotted a machete in a bag, which was going through the x-ray machine. Officers stopped the machine and searched the bag, which contained a machete and three knives. “Our officers know they cannot let their guard down for one second,” said U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger. “It is this constant focus and attention to detail that helps keep...

The U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt at the Capitol on Jan. 6 was recommended for termination in 2001 for abandoning his post in the Speaker’s Office for a card game in a nearby cloakroom, then lying about it to Internal Affairs Division investigators, Blaze News has learned. The 2001 investigation of Michael L. Byrd, 56, was the first known disciplinary case brought against the lieutenant who crept from his blind near the doors to the Speaker’s Lobby on Jan. 6, 2021, and shot Babbitt to death. The 2001 incident is the fourth such disciplinary case...

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) was assaulted by a “pro-trans man” on Capitol grounds Tuesday evening, according to posts to Mace’s social media accounts. Capitol Police informed reporters a man had been arrested for “assaulting a government official.” Mace posted that her arm was injured, requiring a brace and some ice.

House Democrats pressured U.S. Capitol Police to provide special financial assistance and even a promotion to the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in taxpayer and charitable assistance not provided to other officers, according to internal emails reviewed by Just the News. "He is very upset about how he is being treated. He wants us to figure this out and now," a top congressional aide to then-House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, wrote to Capitol Police in November 2021 pressing for more assistance to Lt....

Well, this is a bit odd. The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a congressional staffer on Monday morning after he was caught trying to smuggle ammo into the Cannon House Office Building. The staffer works for Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), who currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee and is the Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration. The USCP said in a statement: At approximately 8:45 a.m., a House staffer entered the Cannon House Office Building and put his bag through screening. USCP officers noticed what appeared to be ammunition on the x-ray screen. After a hand search of...

A new video was released recently depicting the seven men and Trump supporters who were shot in the head without warning by Capitol Police on January 6, 2021. According to earlier reports, Capitol Police Inspector Thomas Loyd Jr. ordered police to fire on the unsuspecting Trump supporters. There is now video that shows the Trump supporters were not acting violently and had no idea they police were about to start firing rubber bullets at their heads.

On Thursday, Former Lt. US Capitol Police Officer Tarik Johnson posted an Emergency Alert on X. According to his sources on Capitol Hill, the Capitol Hill Police Chief Thomas Manger is falling asleep in meetings with officers discussing security for the 2025 inauguration ceremony. This is a serious accusation and needs to be investigated.

EMERGENCY‼️…….. EMERGENCY ‼️ Today, I have received multiple messages about upcoming security preparedness issues for Capitol Police led events in January. As we all know one of those events is the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. I’m told USCP Chief J Thomas Manger and USCP Assistant Chief Sean Gallagher are holding eleven (11) briefings with Department employees. I’m being told that Gallagher is leading these briefings and I’m hearing first hand that officers in attendance are being packed in rooms like sardines in a can and can barely hear Gallagher speaking. Additionally, they are holding these briefings at the beginning and end...

The Capitol Police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riots and then was promoted has a lengthy internal affairs and disciplinary record that includes firearm-related incidents, a sweeping congressional investigation has found. The issues in Captain Michael Byrd's background included a failed shotgun qualification test, a failed FBI background check for a weapon's purchase, a 33-day suspension for a lost weapon and referral to Maryland state prosecutors for firing his gun at a stolen car fleeing his neighborhood, according to congressional and police documents obtained by Just the News. Byrd’s record was uncovered during a larger...

We’re approaching the four-year anniversary of the infamous January 6 pipe bomb case, and still the FBI pretends to be clueless as to the identity of the suspect. In this same span of time, Revolver News is proud to have broken countless stories regarding the pipe bomb case that overwhelmingly point toward a government cover-up involving the FBI, ATF, the Secret Service, Capitol Police, and even Kamala Harris herself. The evidence is so damning that we have long referred to the January 6 pipe bombs as one of the two smoking guns of the Fedsurrection (the other smoking gun being...

Documentary The War on Truth challenges the official narrative of January 6, highlights alleged political manipulation, media distortion, and injustices against Capitol rioters. Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas is a former sheriff, Army National Guard Major, and the recipient of 2 bronze stars. Nehls vocally criticized Nancy Pelosi, the J6 Committee, and Capitol Police leadership for their handling of January 6. Soon after, under Nancy Pelosi’s authority, on November 20, 2021, Capitol Police illegally entered his office and photographed confidential legislative materials. Two days later, while Congress was in recess and Nehls’ office was supposedly vacant, they returned dressed as...

A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to “answer” charges in a $30 million wrongful death suit on behalf of Ashli Babbitt, the 35-year-old Trump supporter shot dead as she entered a lobby just off the House floor during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots. In a sign that the case filed by Babbitt’s estate and Washington-based Judicial Watch has been greenlighted, U.S. District Court Judge Ana C. Reyes gave the government a month to address four of the seven counts in the lawsuit. Those four include the “wrongful” death count as well as negligence and assault and battery claims...

We have long maintained that the two smoking guns of the January 6 Fedsurrection are the curious case of Ray Epps, on the one hand, and the RNC/DNC pipe bomb hoax, on the other. Our extensive reporting on the case of Epps enjoyed a natural assist from the fact that the now-iconic video of Epps urging the crowd to go “into the Capitol” and the subsequent chants from the crowd of “Fed, Fed, Fed” were seemingly tailor-made to go viral. While our ground-breaking reporting on January 6 had been no less comprehensive and no less damning, for the longest time...

One wonders what thoughts passed through the fevered mind of Officer Lila Morris as she struck the seemingly lifeless Rosanne Boyland over the head with a branch, then struck her again, and then struck her a third time so hard that the branch snapped in half. If Morris thought Boyland a hateful white supremacist who deserved her fate, one could, if not forgive her, at least understand how she came to think that way. For the last two years, Morris had heard little else about these MAGA minions and the monster who led them. President-elect Joe Biden had set the...

Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.
