A pro-life activist whose 2022 arrest by the FBI under the Biden administration drew national headlines has reached a seven-figure settlement after suing the Justice Department over his arrest and prosecution. Mark Houck filed a lawsuit against the department in 2023 seeking restitution for what he called "a faulty investigation" and "excessive force" after a SWAT team of around 25 people arrested him in front of his children at his home on Sept. 23, 2022, allegedly with guns drawn.

A Department of Homeland Security employee was shot and stabbed to death while walking her dog in Atlanta on Monday, part of a series of attacks that killed another woman and critically wounded a homeless man. The 26-year-old suspect, a British-born man naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2022, has a prior criminal record and faces murder charges for attacks across the Atlanta area. Lauren Bullis was remembered by Homeland Security colleagues as warm, kind and compassionate, with a fellow auditor recalling: “You couldn’t meet her and not be her friend.”

RealRobert@Real_RobNHere it is:The United States government, under the single greatest criminal organization in American history:Over $100 billion in taxpayer money was extorted and funneled to left-wing corporations to build bridges to nowhere during the last 76 days of the Biden–Harris terrorist administration, while the same program allocated only $40 million over the previous 15 years.Every single member of Biden’s Cabinet, including his White House staff, should be placed on the FBI Most Wanted list and taken into custody to face charges of bribery, fraud, abuse of power, extortion, racketeering, money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the United States government and...

Joe Biden will be remembered as a historic President, but for all the wrong reasons. I and many Americans will remember Biden as he was above- evil incarnate. He was easily the most abusive and corrupt President in history. Joe Biden demonized Republicans, calling them a "clear and present danger." In a fiery prime-time speech, President Joe Biden launched an all-out assault on former President Donald Trump and “MAGA Republicans,” saying they “pose a clear and present danger” to American democracy. And as a means of dealing with that threat Biden chose censorship, in part by floating a Disinformation Governance...

A Department of Homeland Security employee was murdered by a convicted felon immigrant who was naturalized under the Biden administration during a bloody killing spree in Georgia early this week, officials said Wednesday. Lauren Bullis, who worked as an auditor at the federal agency, was shot and stabbed in Atlanta when 26-year-old Olaolukitan Adon-Abel allegedly went on his deadly rampage on Monday morning. Bullis, a 40-year-old auditor for the DHS, had taken her dog out for a stroll when she was targeted as part of three random attacks allegedly carried out by the madman across the city. Adon-Abel’s alleged rampage...

Close, but no Obama. Former President Joe Biden spotted a familiar face on stage during his portrait unveiling at Syracuse University School of Law Tuesday and demanded the man join him at the podium in an awkward exchange. “I always want to turn around to one guy and say … ‘Barack, what are you doing?’” Biden joked during the event at his alma mater. The 83-year-old former president was referring to Jeffrey Scruggs, who is black and the chairman of the school’s Board of Trustees, and apparently reminds Biden of the 44th president, Barack Obama. Biden awkwardly put the spotlight...

The Justice Department on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders who were sentenced to prison terms for leading members of the far-right extremist groups in attacking the U.S. Capitol to keep President Donald Trump in the White House over five years ago. Trump commuted the prison sentences of several Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. The request by the Justice Department would go a step further and...

Former President Joe Biden reportedly wanted Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to be his vice president but “had to choose” former Vice President Kamala Harris. An Atlantic article profiled the Democratic governor and potential 2028 presidential candidate on Sunday and reported how Biden considered Whitmer for his running mate in 2020, particularly after her pushback against President Trump. Though Whitmer was ultimately not chosen, the Atlantic claimed that Biden “wanted it to be Whitmer” and was pushed into picking Harris after the Black Lives Matter protests. “All of this attention seemed like it might add up to something, and by summer...

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden “withheld evidence” and approved “aggressive arrest tactics” when targeting pro-life defendants — and then slapped them with longer prison sentences than pro-abortion ones, according to an explosive internal review released Tuesday. The DOJ revealed the stunning abuses in a nearly 900-page report after examining more than 700,000 records related to the Biden administration’s prosecutions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The 1994 law was passed to protect access to houses of worship, religious institutions, abortion clinics and pregnancy resource centers. But the Biden DOJ was...

The Justice Department has fired at least four prosecutors who were involved in prosecutions under the FACE Act during the Biden administration, a government official familiar with the firings told CBS News. Among those fired Monday is Sanjay Patel, a longtime federal prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division's criminal section who was placed on administrative leave last month, sources told CBS News at the time. The terminations occurred at about the same time a report on the FACE Act and the Biden Justice Department was being finalized. Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994 to address rising concerns about threats...

Drip, drip, drip. Three years after the COVID-19 pandemic, more details are being revealed concerning the failure of federal public health officials to come clean about lingering safety issues with the COVID-19 vaccine. Senate investigators have conclusively proved, for example, that Biden administration officials downplayed the risk of vaccine-induced myocarditis (heart inflammation) and failed to warn the public. Widespread and dangerous loss of trust in public health authorities is thus hardly unsurprising.

Joe Biden and his wife Jill ventured out in Santa Monica, Calif., amid his battle with cancer, Page Six is told. Spies spotted the former first couple at celeb favorite Giorgio Baldi with Scott Miller, the former Ambassador to Switzerland, and his husband, LGBTQ+ activist Tim Gill. Fellow diners told us that Joe — who was diagnosed in May 2025 with an aggressive form of stage 4 prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones — was quiet for much of the dinner, but piped up to sing “Happy Birthday” to guests celebrating at a neighboring table. “Jill did most...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Biden administration was driving energy systems "into a ditch" through massive subsidies to unreliable sources like solar power and draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Wright appeared with his wife, Liz, on "The Katie Miller Podcast" Tuesday, where he criticized former President Joe Biden's energy policies for having a profound effect on the rest of the country. "If you get energy wrong, you destroy your society," Wright said. "Another reason I think President Trump won, you know, the Biden administration literally wanted to drive our energy system into the ditch," he added. "Just outrageous. We,...

The Department of Education announced on Monday that it has rescinded Biden-era resolution agreements to several schools that imposed the previous administration’s “radical transgender agenda.” The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) uses resolution agreements to require schools to resolve noncompliance with federal civil rights laws. The Department said previous Democrat administrations “distorted the law contrary to its plain meaning to police discrimination on the basis of ‘gender identity,’ not sex, and imposed resolution agreements with no legal foundation, but rather, based on an ideologically-driven interpretation of Title IX.” The Department said previous administrations admonished school districts with Title...

The Democratic Party is facing criticism after it posted an Easter-themed message about "Better times at the White House" featuring former President Barack Obama, while leaving out former President Joe Biden. The post, published Saturday by the official Democratic Party X account, shows Obama from behind standing beside a person in an Easter Bunny costume with the Washington Monument in the background. The caption reads, "Better times at the White House." Biden is not pictured or mentioned in the post, and much of the reaction centered on that omission. Social media users wondered why the account appeared to invoke nostalgia...

An ex-security staffer for President Joe Biden who posed for pics with former VP Kamala Harris in front of a presidential jet was arrested for a chilling murder in San Francisco. Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, just 24 hours after he allegedly shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, at a home in San Francisco’s Sunset District. Wood identified himself as a part-time security staffer for Biden’s White House Secret Service team starting in November 2023 on his LinkedIn profile. He worked at the White House through July 2025, finishing out his...

A US Secret Service agent, working on security detail for the former first lady Jill Biden, shot themself (sic) in the leg at the Philadelphia international airport on Friday morning, an agency spokesperson said. The Secret Service special agent suffered a “non-life-threatening injury” after they (sic) discharged their (sic) weapon at around 8:30 am. Biden was not near the agent at the time and no one else was injured. …

Even while faced with a Russian invasion of their nation, some elements in the Ukrainian government were plotting to help the Biden re-election campaign — with U.S. taxpayer money. That was the gist of an explosive article Thursday from the Washington-based website Just the News, citing a declassified intelligence report. And Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly on the case. The Just the News report was authored by website founder John Solomon, a veteran, highly respected D.C. journalist, and Just the News chief investigative correspondent Jeff Dunleavy. It claimed that U.S. intelligence intercepts had revealed that personnel in...

U.S. INTERCEPTED UKRAINE MESSAGES OF PLOT TO ROUTE MONEY TO BIDEN CAMPAIGN “The United States government, the National Security Agency, intercepted conversations of President Zelensky's government in Ukraine in 2022...conspiring with federal workers at the USAID to come up with a plan to take $200 million dollars of USAID money, that is your money folks, taxpayer money, route it through a series of transactions, move it into the United States, and launder it into Joe Biden's 2024 campaign and the Democratic National Committee.” - 2 min video https://x.com/realamvoice/status/2037292005105996157?

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal...
