Just a few months into President Biden’s presidency, we’re already getting a very grim look into the challenges everyday Americans are going to face over the next four years. Biden is explicitly cutting American jobs, funding corrupt and unaccountable international organizations, handcuffing the oil and gas industry, and undermining our country’s economic competitiveness abroad. President Trump consistently prioritized Americans over the political pressures to kowtow to other countries’ interests. President Trump values American lives and livelihoods over political agendas, and his agenda lifted millions out of poverty. Among the elected officials from Colorado, no one was a stronger supporter of...

The FBI “cannot disclose the cause of death” of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, after The New York Times and other news outlets either retracted or updated reports claiming he was killed by being hit with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6. FBI Director Christopher Wray responded to a question from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) during a Senate hearing on Tuesday about whether the agency has determined Sicknick’s cause of death. Grassley noted “conflicting reports” about his cause of death and whether there is a homicide investigation. “There is an ongoing investigation into his death,”...

On Tuesday, March 2nd, Sen. Chuck Grassley asked FBI Director Wray if there had been a determination as to the cause of Sicknick’s death.Wray didn’t just shockingly obfuscate, but actually refused to say if they even have a determination of the cause of death yet.

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday refused to tell senators the cause of death for Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, whose death heavily influenced coverage of the Capitol riot. Reports after Jan. 6 originally said Sicknick died after being bludgeoned by a fire extinguisher while fighting off then-President Donald Trump’s supporters, which authorities didn’t deny at the time. The claim became part of the impeachment trial case against Trump for allegedly inciting the riot — though his family now says it’s untrue. Wray cited an “ongoing” investigation into Sicknick’s death. “I certainly understand and respect and appreciate the keen interest...

WASHINGTON, DC – Gladys Sicknick, the mother of the New Jersey native and U.S. Capitol Police Officer who died during the January 6th incursion of the U.S. Capitol was not killed by an angry mob of Trump supporters or beaten by a fire extinguisher. Instead, Mrs. Sicknick said she believes her son died instead of a stroke. Over one month later, his family still has few answers about his death. Mrs. Sicknick told the Daily Mail on Tuesday that she believes her son suffered a fatal stroke and discounted mainstream media accounts that claimed he was beaten to death with...

In a quiet but stunning correction, the New York Times backed away from its original report that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was killed by a Trump supporter wielding a fire extinguisher during the January 6 melee at the Capitol building. Shortly after American Greatness published my column Friday that showed how the Times gradually was backpedaling on its January 8 bombshell, the paper posted this caveat:UPDATE: New information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.The paper continued to...

What Happened to Officer Brian Sicknick?No one should discount the idea that Democrats and the news media would intentionally promote a totally fabricated story to destroy Donald Trump and vilify his supporters.The claim is so pervasive as not to be questioned: Five people died as a result of the January 6 “insurrection” at the Capitol building, killed by blood-thirsty Trump voters at the president’s behest, out for revenge over a stolen election.Even though only one death—the shooting of Ashli Babbitt by a still-unidentified police officer—is provable by video evidence, the other fatalities nonetheless are accepted as an article of faith...

The retired firefighter who appears to be the man caught on camera throwing a fire extinguisher that hit at least three officers at the Capitol during a riot was arrested Thursday, officials said. Robert Sanford, of Chester, Pa., faces three federal felony charges including assaulting a police officer, the Wall Street Journal reported.

SNIPPET: "Though car bombs are infrequently used in southern Thailand, where smaller motorcycle bombs and IEDs of roughly 5 kg are more common, there has been a trend this month towards large bombs, in the 20 kg range. For example, 20 KG IEDs were used on 19th, 20th and twice on the 21st while on 8 August a 20 kg IED hidden by the road was recovered by government forces. While insurgents routinely employ time-delayed bombs to target security forces responding to attacks, there has been one other new trend in IEDs. On 8 August, a military bomb disposal unit...
