Pardoned January 6 defendants and others gathered in Washington DC on Tuesday to mark the 5-year anniversary of the Capitol protest. More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – were charged by Joe Biden’s DOJ with Merrick Garland at the helm. Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag. President Trump granted blanket clemency to all of the January 6 defendants shortly after he was sworn into office last January. On Tuesday, the January 6 defendants waved American flags as they marched to the Capitol. The marchers...

George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley is not a conservative, but he is an honest and very smart man. Since the news of Maduro’s capture by the U.S. Military under Trump this morning, he has been pointing out that Trump did not need approval from congress to do this, despite what Democrats are claiming now. Turley uses the example of Manuel Noriega, who was removed from Panama by the United States in 1989 under similar circumstances. He refers to the actions of other presidents as well.

In a move that has shocked conservatives across social media, a niqab-wearing Muslim woman named Lakeshia M.

In a bizarre and revealing interview, Lakeshia Mashonda Ruddi Alston, the niqab-wearing Muslim woman running as the sole Republican candidate for North Carolina’s State Senate District 22, delivered a series of rambling and contradictory statements that have only intensified suspicions of her true intentions. Alston, who has a documented history of voting Democrat since at least 2008, insists she’s a genuine Republican representing the party’s future. But her interview responses, filled with odd declarations, have left many questioning whether this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the GOP primary. Alston, a self-described educator, entrepreneur, and community advocate with no prior...

In a blistering video, former Fox News contributor and Newsmax TV host Dennis Michael Lynch didn’t hold back, issuing a stark ultimatum to the Trump administration.Lynch’s outrage stems from the massive Somali-led fraud scandals in Minnesota, which have exposed billions in stolen taxpayer dollars under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz’s watch.“This is going to be the shortest video I’ve ever done in my life, based on what we’ve all seen in Minnesota,” Lynch begins in a clip posted on X.“If tens of thousands of Somalians are not deported back to their third-world country, and if government officials like Tim Walz and...

A wacky ex-Democrat politician suffered a terrifying attack earlier this week in Massachusetts while at his place of employment.

Mass migration has caused one city in Massachusetts to resemble a foreign nation, as even its own mayor seems unable to speak or understand a word of English. As The Eagle-Tribune reported, Lawrence Mayor Brian DePena testified earlier this month during a hearing in support of former acting police chief William Castro’s appeal against revoked credentials from a 2024 traffic incident. According to WCVB, Castro “engaged in a motor-vehicle pursuit in violation of the policies of the Lawrence Police Department.” Moreover, he was “untruthful” regarding the chase while he and his superiors failed to investigate the incident independently. Video has...

It further protects minors from chemical castration or hormonal treatments. Parents who facilitate, consent to, or transport the minor to receive sex change surgeries could also be charged. This...

In a clear display of frustration with New York’s soft-on-crime policies, Anthony Caines, the 45-year-old Brooklyn man infamous for his alleged spitting spree targeting white women, was left bloodied and battered on a Williamsburg sidewalk after two unidentified men delivered what looks like vigilante justice. The incident, captured on video and shared widely on social media, shows Caines curled up in a fetal position as the duo kicks and punches him, issuing a stern warning to “Stop violating these females out here, you heard?” The beatdown went down outside a hair salon on Sixth Street, though the exact date of...

Why wasn’t Kamala Harris cleaning her collard greens in the bathtub this year? Kamala Harris on Thursday posted a TikTok video of herself preparing Thanksgiving dinner with her nieces. Harris chose to post a small clip herself preparing collard greens. Of course she did. Is she preparing to run for office again? “We are preparing collard greens!” Harris said. Recall that last year on the campaign trail Kamala Harris told a Georgia voter she used to clean her collard greens in the bathtub. Maybe her Indian mother taught her that? Kamala then told the Georgia voter that she uses Tabasco...

Los Angles Mayor Karen Bass recently did a little victory dance about the ‘first rebuild’ of a house in the Pacific Palisades after the wildfires. Hey, it has only been almost a year, right? There is one little problem with the house that Bass is celebrating, however. It was a developer project that was in the works before the fires even happened. That’s right, this house wasn’t even one of the average homes destroyed by fires and her incompetence. What a surprise. The New York Post reports: LA Mayor Karen Bass called out for ‘phony’ Palisades rebuild after devastating wildfire...

In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor. There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable. Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about it to the far left Washington Post. Raffensperger’s office later ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call. After they were caught lying to the America...

Actress Bette Midler has called on Joe Biden to arrest House Republicans and execute Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. Responding to the Supreme Court ruling this week that gave Donald Trump immunity for his official acts in office, Midler was one of many leftists unable to contain their frustration. “Now that Joe has total immunity, many are urging him to be GOP ruthless,” Midler wrote. “Here’s a suggestion for implementing his new powers.” Midler then linked to a New Republic article by former Clinton henchman Sidney Blumenthal, which fantasized: I regret to inform you that Speaker of the House Mike Johnson...

Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL) was indicted by a federal grand jury for stealing $5 million in FEMA funds. According to the Justice Department, Rep. Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother Edwin Cherfilus allegedly stole $5 million in FEMA funds and funneled it through different accounts to pay for the defendant’s 2021 congressional campaign. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick is facing up to 53 years in prison if convicted. “Using disaster relief funds for self-enrichment is a particularly selfish, cynical crime,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “No one is above the law, least of all powerful people who rob taxpayers for personal gain. We will...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) goes on House floor and makes an embarrassing mistake as she accuses certain Republicans of taking money from Jeffrey Epstein. Credit: C-SPAN screenshot Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) provided some unintentional comic relief right before the House decided to give her fellow Democrat, Stacey Plaskett, a pass regarding her dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening voted against censuring Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.) over her collusion with Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. The House voted 214 -209 against censuring Plaskett. Every Democrat voted against the censure, while...
