Former President Donald Trump lost a bid Friday to toss lawsuits holding him responsible for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Federal Judge Amit Mehta rejected Trump’s attempt to dismiss the civil cases with a claim that he has absolute immunity because he was in office at the time. “To deny a President immunity from civil damages is no small step,” Mehta wrote in a 112-page ruling. “The court well understands the gravity of its decision. But the alleged facts of this case are without precedent, and the court believes that its decision is consistent with...

Former Trump admin aide Alyssa Farah Griffin predicted on Sunday the GOP would use the ex-president to help win the midterms before dropping him for the 2024 presidential elections. Griffin, who served in various White House rolls including the director of strategic communications during former President Donald Trump's time in office, said she believes Republicans will keep him around for fundraising during the midterms. "Republicans are going to keep him around through 2022 because he will be helpful in winning back House seats, getting back the House majority," she said on CNN's State of the Union. "He is monster fundraiser....

The debate is over. After a year spent investigating claims of election fraud, the media has determined that any fraud in the 2020 election was too insignificant to have changed the outcome and Joe Biden legitimately won. Now we can get back to our normal lives, or whatever passes for normal now…except that’s fiction. In 44 BC, Roman Senators murdered Caesar, claiming they acted to protect the Republic. In fact, they simply sought power. Their coup d’état put the final nail in the coffin of a republic that had been dead in deed, if not name, for decades. Coup d’états...

... Lindell said the "cyber guys"—technological experts who are Certified Information Systems Security Professionals—will show "packet captures" that prove that votes were flipped from Trump to the election's winner, Democratic President Joe Biden. "Packet captures" are computer data files taken from a specific moment of network activity. These packets can then be analyzed to understand network behavior at a later time. Lindell claimed that the "cyber guys" will use the packet captures to show how many votes were flipped in different parts of the country. "It's going to be a worldwide event," Lindell continued. "Millions are going to see it....

Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III said on Thursday the Navy will investigate SEAL Eddie Gallagher over his admission in a recent interview that he did intend to kill an ISIS detainee despite being acquitted of the man's murder in 2019. (emphasis mine) Gallagher made the bombshell admission in an interview on Apple's 'The Line' podcast on Tuesday regarding the 2017 death of a 17-year-old militant captive in Iraq. ... 'I didn't stab him. I didn't stab that dude,' Gallagher said. 'That dude died from all the medical treatments that were done – and there was plenty of medical treatments...

Back in February, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped of her committee roles, despite her expression of "regret" for some of her more extreme views. One of the charges against Rep. Greene is that she has supported QAnon, whose central claim is that there exists an elite whose members exercise political power and who indulge in promiscuity and other corrupt forms of behavior. In a Washington Post article co-written by Isaac Stanley-Becker and Rachel Bade, Greene was dismissed as having endorsed the "baseless theory" of QAnon. Stanley-Becker and Bade devoted most of their article to critiquing QAnon rather than addressing...

Before President Biden departed the White House for a visit to Chester, Pennsylvania, he took questions from reporters on a possible visit to the southern border and to which countries the U.S. might give COVID-19 vaccines.

NORTH Korea's been playing hard to get, its vice-minister confirmed - saying the country has been intentionally dodging the Biden Administration's calls and even e-mails asking for a sit-down between the two countries. "The U.S. has tried to contact us since mid-February through several routes including New York," North Korean First Vice Minister Choe Son Hui said in a statement on Wednesday. "It recently requested to contact us by sending e-mails and telephone messages via various routes," she continued in the statement released by the official Korean Central News Agency. "Even in the evening before the joint military drill it...

Build Back Better. This is the slogan of the New World Order – aka the Great Reset. You hear it often these days intoned — in the manner of dutiful Stepford Wives — by everyone from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Prince of Wales to Canadian blackface artiste Justin Trudeau and, inevitably, Joe Biden who has adopted it as his campaign slogan. About the only leader you won’t hear using it is Donald Trump because he recognises its true significance. Build Back Better is the code phrase for one of the most terrifying and dangerous, globally co-ordinated assaults...

They never wanted him to be the nominee. They tolerated him as president. They cheered (some quietly) when he lost. Now they want him to go away. But he won't. Why should he? At CPAC yesterday, Donald Trump reaffirmed what many of us already knew. This is his Republican Party. That’s not to say he has any sway with lawmakers currently on Capitol Hill or the RNC itself. But he still holds the hearts and minds of a majority of Republican voters. Conservatives and populists generally love him. The moderates and neocons who support the Republican Establishment do not. With...

THE US Capitol will remain on high-alert until mid-March amid a bizarre theory that Donald Trump will become president this week.Thousands of National Guard troops will remain in Washington over fears QAnon's claim may lead to another attack on the US Capitol, after followers spoke of a "military investigation" into President Joe Biden.The request for 4,900 National Guard troops to continue their deployments in Washington until March 12 was made by US Capitol Police, Robert Salesses, a Pentagon official said."We work very closely with the FBI, Secret Service, and others and the Capitol Police to try to determine what they...

We’re now six weeks or so into the sham presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and already the end of the Biden Era seems near. A bumbling shell of a man, constantly attended by his wife, Jill, and with the lengthening shadow of his vice president, Kamala Harris, looming in the background, Biden seems incapable of doing anything except signing the slew of executive orders his handlers shove under his nose until at last, exhausted, his team “calls a lid” on his workday and packs him back off upstairs at the White House for a nice lie-down before noontime. It...

For some QAnon conspiracy theorists, March 4, 2021 is a date circled in red Sharpie on the calendar. The truly devoted believe that, on this special date, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the United States. "Some QAnon followers are borrowing discredited arguments from sovereign citizens in order to yet again move the goalposts,” Travis Week, co-host of the conspiracy-debunking podcast QAnon Anonymous, explained via tweet, “They're absurdly claiming Trump will be inaugurated on March 4, because the U.S. was ‘incorporated’ in 1871 and all Amendments passed after that are invalid.” At the Trump International...

Former President Donald Trump delivered his first major speech after leaving office, charting a path forward for the Republican Party and conservatives but suggesting that he might run in 2024.“I may even decide to beat them for the third time,” he said.Trump said the conservative movement he created “is far from being over” but did not declare that he would try to run against for president in 2024. “There’s never been a journey more successful,” he remarked, adding that conservatives “will be victorious and stronger and greater than ever before.”“The future of the Republican Party is as a party that...

Kimberly Guilfoyle confused Twitter users on Friday with a prediction about ex-President Donald Trump.“I will confidently say that (former) President Trump from his desk at Mar-a-Lago will accomplish more for America in the next four years than (President) Joe Biden and (Vice President) Kamala Harris could ever dream of,” former Fox News host Guilfoyle, who is the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Donald Trump was a bull in a china shop of a President. Or at least that’s the way the media, Democrats, academia, Hollywood and establishment Republicans painted him. And that’s the key to understanding Donald Trump... knowing him through his enemies. Voltaire said: “I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it." That prayer very much applies to Donald Trump. His enemies are ridiculous. They are failures at virtually everything they touch. From destroying American schools and cities and the military, Democrats have made themselves beyond...

It is and has been obvious to anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty that Joe Biden is mentally compromised. He is suffering from senility at best and Alzheimer's at worst. Readers will note that Biden has not delivered a State of the Union address, likely because he retires at 7 pm and sundowns. The evidence of his decline is, as Adam Schiff loves to say, in plain sight. Here he says, well, watch https://youtu.be/WChD50UBCWMBiden cannot recall details about his campaign in Ohio President Joe Biden on Tuesday struggled to correctly remember the exact date and location of an event...

If you still believe in Q, “trust the plan”, etc. I would like to know why. What makes you so confident that Q is not BS now that Biden is in the White House?

After breaking his month of silence, President Trump was asked on a Newsmax phone interview whether he will run again in 2024. His message was classic Trump. “I won’t say yet, bet we have tremendous support.” It’s clear that there will be no formal announcement in the foreseeable future. Yet many polls suggest that Trump’s approval among Republicans remains high. In fact, post impeachment, Trump’s approval just keeps climbing among conservatives. It’s clear that if he decides to run again in 2024, the chances of him being the Republican choice is high. If he does run and the party refuses...

President Donald Trump in his first public appearance since leaving the White House will lay out an optimistic vision for America and focus on standing up to China, reviving U.S. manufacturing, dismantling the monopoly of Big Tech, reopening schools, and securing the border, among other topics, according to former Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller.
