Was there a coup? That question, when asked in the context of American politics, invites ridicule from respectable quarters. Yet when the subject turns to foreign regimes, that same question is treated with analytic seriousness. Political scientists pore over cases from Georgia to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Egypt, cataloguing the hallmarks of so-called "color revolutions", soft regime-change efforts executed through legal, media, and civic levers, rather than military ones. Oddly, however, the moment one notices similar tactics deployed on American soil, the conversation ends. That silence deserves scrutiny. For there is a credible case that the 2020 effort to remove...

I suppose this could be your Friday rhetorical question, as we all know a fish rots from the head, and the head of the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is none other than the rotten-to-the-core Alvin Bragg. The same Alvin Bragg who prosecuted Donald Trump for falsifying business records. The same Alvin Bragg whose office unsuccessfully prosecuted subway hero Daniel Penny for manslaughter when he subdued a drug-crazed, psychotic vagrant threatening fellow passengers. The same Alvin Bragg and his crew of progressive malcontents who have been declining to prosecute any of the rampaging terrorist supporters shrieking, chanting, vandalizing, and threatening Jewish...

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that millions of Americans are “downright ashamed” of President Donald Trump’s actions in dealing with Ukraine.Schiff said, “This is an effort to pressure Zelensky into giving up something for nothing. And I have to say this, on top of the resolution at the United Nations– where the United States sided with Russia, betrayed Ukraine – is one of the most shameful incidents in modern history. I think millions and millions and millions of Americans watching this not only disagree with the president but, maybe for the first time, are just...

President Donald Trump has begun the process to investigate the Biden DOJ’s injustices against Jan. 6 protestors. The DOJ launched a “special project” to probe Biden-era prosecutors’ decisions to stretch an obstruction statute to prosecute hundreds of individuals who protested the certification of the 2020 presidential election inside the U.S. Capitol. Ed Martin, the acting U.S. district attorney for the District of Columbia, announced the investigation in a memo to two prosecutors who led these charges. Martin demanded the turnover of “all information you have related to the use of 1512 charges, including all files, documents, notes, emails, and other...

Many of Jack Smith’s prosecutors also fear they will go bankrupt defending themselves if Trump’s DOJ decides to launch an investigation into the Biden Regime’s weaponization of the department. The swamp is draining itself.

Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) responded to President-elect Trump’s threat that he would throw members who sat on the House committee that investigated rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in jail, calling his remarks an “assault on the rule of law.” “Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” Cheney said in a statement provided to The Hill. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes.

It was a dramatic day in New York City on Friday as the jury in the Daniel Penny case came back deadlocked multiple times. While that would normally lead to a mistrial and Penny going free, the judge in the case decided to set what appears to be a new precedent, and it's rightfully leading to outrage. As RedState reported, at the prosecution's request, count one (second-degree manslaughter) was dismissed, with the judge ordering the jury to be sent back to deliberate on count two (negligent homicide). ... Yes, that is a judge saying he will "take a chance" with...

You can’t make this up: Dafna Yoran is the Manhattan prosecutor currently throwing the book at Daniel Penny. In 2019, she gave a reduced sentence to a black man who murdered an asian college professor as he was withdrawing cash from an ATM. She said that it was under the guise of “restorative justice” and ended up giving him 10 years for manslaughter after he was originally charged with murder. Now she’s attempting to imprison an innocent man who protected a group of people on the subway.
