Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a long list of old lies in her “closing argument” speech in Washington, DC, on Tuesday night, defying fact-checkers and repeating false claims that had already been debunked during the campaign. Here are the most egregious of Harris’s false claims: 1. Then-President Donald Trump “sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people.” Trump did not send a “mob”; he told his supporters to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol. Rioters were already there — but they were not “armed” with guns. Only five rioters were ultimately...

Over 75,000 people have gathered in Washington, D.C., to hear Vice President Kamala Harris' closing argument speech at the same site of former President Donald Trump's rally on January 6, 2021. Harris' event at the Ellipse comes one week before Election Day, and follows Trump's closing arguments at Madison Square Garden on Sunday that received backlash for its inflammatory and racist rhetoric. As the vice president took the stage Tuesday night, her campaigns' rapid response director, Ammar Moussa, posted to his X (formerly Twitter) account that "are OVER 75,000 people on the National Mall to watch Kamala Harris deliver her...

Vice President Kamala Harris will give a speech in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday in what's being billed as her closing argument to voters. The speech will take place at the Ellipse, the same spot where then-President Donald Trump held his Stop the Steal rally before the riots at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. "We are not at this location by accident," said Jen O'Malley Dillon, campaign manager for the Harris-Walz ticket. "We believe the ellipse is significant, and it's significant for two reasons. One, of course, is the backdrop of the White House. It's really a reminder of the...

Vice President Kamala Harris will make her final case to voters Tuesday on the Ellipse—one last opportunity before Election Day to contrast her campaign with that of former President Donald Trump, who hosted his infamous “Stop the Steal” rally at the same White House-adjacent park on January 6, 2021. Here’s what Washingtonians should know ahead of Harris’s closing remarks:

<p>When then-President Donald Trump finished his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol.</p><p>But a Secret Service agent blocked him from going, according to a newly disclosed account.</p><p>President Trump and Robert Engel, his lead Secret Service agent, entered the SUV around 1:10 p.m. after President Trump concluded his speech, which was delivered on the Ellipse.</p>

Special Counsel Jack Smith will use Trump’s phone data at his January 6 trial in DC according to a new court filing reviewed by The Gateway Pundit. In September Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. According to the court filing, Jack Smith will call in an expert to testify on Trump’s phone data and location on January 6, 2021. The expert witness has reportedly “extracted and...

Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle which is why we experience aphelion and perihelion. The degree...

Washington (CNN)Federal agencies are investigating at least two possible incidents on US soil, including one near the White House in November of last year, that appear similar to mysterious, invisible attacks that have led to debilitating symptoms for dozens of US personnel abroad. Multiple sources familiar with the matter tell CNN that while the Pentagon and other agencies probing the matter have reached no clear conclusions on what happened, the fact that such an attack might have taken place so close to the White House is particularly alarming. Defense officials briefed lawmakers on the Senate and House Armed Services Committees...
