The devices — made out of 1x8-inch pipes, kitchen timers and homemade black powder —...

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...

The suspect’s grandmother, Loretta, told The New York Post: “He’s almost autistic-like because he doesn’t understand a lot of stuff. I hope he is not talking.” She also alleged: “He’s very naive…He would not hurt a fly. He’s just not that kind of person. I don’t believe this at all. He’s not a terrorist.” The grandmother told The Post that Cole works for the family’s bail bondsman company, “Brian Cole Bail Bonds.” She added that he also worked for DoorDash for a time. “He doesn’t have any ties to DC,” she added. “I don’t even know how they included him...

December 2015 was a pivotal month in many respects. During the first week of December 2015, Donald Trump began to establish a substantial lead over his Republican primary opponents. Vice President Joseph Biden traveled to Ukraine to announce, on December 7th, a $190 million program to “fight corruption in law enforcement and reform the justice sector,” but behind the scenes explicitly linked a $1 billion loan guarantee to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who had been investigating the energy company Burisma, which employed Biden’s son Hunter. On December 9, 2015, the reported whistleblower Eric Ciaramella held a meeting...

October 12 marks the 12th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole. The grim milestone comes as President Obama faces mounting questions about his administration's dereliction of duty during the murderous attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. And it comes just a day after resurgent al-Qaida thugs pulled off the drive-by assassination of a top Yemeni security official who worked at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa. These are not "bumps in the road." These are gravesites on the blood-spattered path to surrender. Seventeen U.S. sailors died in the brutal suicide attack on the guided Navy missile destroyer as...

Mona Gunn, who lost her son Cherone, says, "There is no closure." NORFOLK, Va. — This week marks 24 years since the terrorist attack on USS Cole. The Norfolk-based guided missile destroyer was docked in Yemen on Oct. 12, 2000, for refueling when al-Qaida suicide bombers attacked, killing 17 sailors and 37 injured crew members. It is considered one of the darkest days in U.S. Navy history.

Well, this is what happens when, as a Republican, you protect one of Congress' most notorious Democratic liars while voting against conservative interests in important spots: You get primaried -- and by someone with money to spend. Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, is facing several primary challengers -- but one sticks out, according to the Oklahoma Voice: Paul L. Bondar, which the outlet called "a newcomer with deep pockets who recently moved into the state."

Political newcomer Paul Bondar is running to unseat incumbent Congressman Tom Cole in the Republican primary for Oklahoma’s Fourth Congressional District this June. Bondar’s campaign purchased ad time on Oklahoma television stations. This week, the ads began airing. Oklahoma Congressman Tom Cole becomes chair of House Appropriations Committee “Paul Bondar is a successful businessman, devout Christian, and Trump Republican,” a narrator proclaims in Bondar’s ad. “Tom Cole voted with Democrats for billions in new deficit spending. Paul Bondar opposes new federal spending.”

Dr. Ryan Cole, owner and operator of Cole Diagnostics, has been very outspoken against the Covid lockdowns/quarantine and has warned about the mRNA vaccine. The Idaho doctor on Wednesday said he is not anti-vaccine but he warned against the experimental Covid jabs. “We’ve seen more deaths from this shot than all vaccines in the last 20 years combined — and that’s just in the first 4 to 5 months,” he said during an appearance on Rose Unplugged 1320 WJAS.

Canadian Dr. Charles Hoffe has administered 900 doses of the Moderna mRNA vaccine. After a number of these patients complained of persistent fatigue he decided to test for blood clots. He found that 62% of these vaccinated patients had microscopic blood clots. While these clots are not large enough to cause a immediate health danger, he is concerned that from a longer term perspective the vaccines might pose a serious risk. He speculates that "the vaccines stimulate the body to produce billions of spike proteins. The hope is that these will cue the body's immune system to develop antibodies to...

Even at this late date in the presidential race, a few things stand out to those who have followed Hillary Clinton's career as a Marxist sympathizer and greedy politician/foreign policy Conan "The Destroyer" type. It is the refusal of the mainstream media and even some of the conservative media, to really dig into her past and even open actions to see things that would greatly disturb an honest, educated person, namely her accepting large amounts of money from Organized Crime and her relationship with a woman who gave all appearances of being a Cuban propaganda asset at the least, and...
