WASHINGTON, D.C. — On the anniversary of the January 6, 2021, incident at the U.S. Capitol, Democrat lawmakers gathered together once again to solemnly remember the only riot they didn't like. At a somber ceremony of remembrance, congressional Democrats met to observe the fifth anniversary of the only violent protest in history that they weren't happy about and refused to celebrate. "We're normally all about violent riots, but not this one," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "This one was bad. But only this one. All the other times large mobs of people flooded the streets to loudly protest, damage...

In one of his autopen’s last acts before Joe Biden left office was to pardon Capt. Mike Byrd, the DC officer who shot and killed January 6 protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood during the protests on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021. As TGP’s Brian Lupo noted, video evidence captured Byrd shooting an unarmed Babbitt without warning as she attempted to climb through a narrow window near a barricaded entryway to the Speaker of the House’s office area in the U.S. Capitol. Following an investigation, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing, although questions remain about the escalation to lethal...

VIDEOHere it is. FIVE YEARS after January 6, 2021. For Liberals a very sad day because it did NOT turn out as they planned. They had hoped that their media aided crafting of the events of J6 would forever discredit President Donald Trump and MAGA. At first they thought their plan worked to the extent that Sleepy Joe early in 2021 gloated that perhaps the GOP wouldn't even exist by the following election. Unfortunately, inconvenient facts about J6 began trickling out from REAL journalists until the flood of suppressed information convinced the public to reject the Democrat J6 fictions by...

January 6th was terrifying for many Americans. After all, they saw it on television. But what did they really see? Did they know what actually unfolded that day? Did they even ask? Trump is the Jan. 6 President, proclaims the New York Times’ Editorial Board. And the text: What I learned, living through these events as a former Democrat, is that the New York Times Editorial Board is lying through its teeth. Or maybe they aren’t lying. Maybe they really do believe it. They exist inside the Doomsday Cult of the Left, after all, along with all of those high-minded...

New legislation would require schools to teach students about the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. According to the New York State Senate, the legislation will amend the Education Law to include instruction about the Jan. 6 insurrection as part of the state’s required courses regarding patriotism, citizenship, civic education and values, shared history of diversity, religious tolerance and human rights issues. The legislation, proposed by John C. Liu from New York’s 16th Senate District, is currently in the Senate’s Education Committee. If passed and signed into law, the amendment would take effect in July.

After Trump’s mass pardons of the U.S. Capitol rioters, some have gained influence inside the Justice Department, meeting with officials to push for prosecutions of the federal lawyers who once helped convict them, Reuters found. The January 6 prosecutors describe mounting threats, harassment and fear of lasting damage to the U.S. justice system. The Capitol riot of January 2021 set off the largest criminal investigation in the Justice Department’s history. For federal prosecutor Ashley Akers, it was a defining moment in a seven-year career spent untangling complex cases, from wire fraud to domestic terrorism. She helped put away dozens of...

The Capitol riot of January 2021 set off the largest criminal investigation in the Justice Department’s history. For federal prosecutor Ashley Akers, it was a defining moment in a seven-year career spent untangling complex cases, from wire fraud to domestic terrorism. She helped put away dozens of rioters – including some who swung bats and beat police officers. Then the tables turned. On his first day back in office, U.S. President Donald Trump granted clemency to every criminally charged January 6 rioter. Akers resigned. Now, Akers and other prosecutors who handled Capitol riot cases face a new threat. Reuters has...

As we asked last week… Why is this demon still working at the DOJ? Why was she not cut loose? Why is she not being prosecuted? Jocelyn Ballantine was one of the Department of Justice attorneys assigned to Michael Flynn’s prosecution. The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time. Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia. When the US government threw out the case against...

Synopsis of “Why I Think The J6 Fedsurrection Was Planned At This Secret Meeting In June 2020” This YouTube video, uploaded by independent journalist and commentator Darren Beattie (of Revolver News), runs approximately 25 minutes and presents a speculative but evidence-based theory that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot—derisively termed the “J6 Fedsurrection” by the host—was not a spontaneous insurrection but a manufactured event orchestrated by federal intelligence agencies. Beattie argues that the groundwork was laid at a secretive June 2020 meeting involving key players from the military, intelligence community, and political operatives. The tone is investigative and urgent, blending...

Here is a question you can ask the Google AI: "Can the Associated Press editorialize?"And here is the answer you will get:"No, the Associated Press (AP) strives for factual, nonpartisan reporting and prohibits its journalists from editorializing or expressing personal opinions in their news coverage; their core mission is to provide objective news, but they face scrutiny and debate over potential biases, requiring consumers and member editors to remain vigilant for bias and clearly identify third-party contributions."That's some remarkably unintelligent artificial intelligence.Well, it sure seems like the AP violated its own alleged prohibition of editorializing with their Saturday story about...

A picture is beginning to emerge about the suspect accused of planting two pipe bombs next to Democratic and Republican headquarters on the eve of the 2021 Capitol riot, following his arrest on Thursday. Neighbours and family members described Brian Cole Jr, 30, as "naive" and a "quiet guy" who often walked a chihuahua in their Washington DC suburb. He also told investigators he thought the 2020 election was "rigged", US media reports say. Authorities arrested Mr Cole and charged him with attempted malicious destruction with explosive materials. The bombs did not detonate. He was arrested without incident, US Attorney...

VIDEOThe only thing worse than an incompetent FBI official is an FBI official who is incompetent on purpose so as to avoid identifying a suspect that he doesn't want to be identified. Such was the case with the former assistant director of the FBI DC field office Steven D'Antuono who LIED to Congress about the pipe bomber's cell phone data supposedly having been corrupted when it wasn't.So when will D'Antuono be indicted for LYING to Congress?

WASHINGTON — The Virginia man charged with planting pipe bombs at the headquarters of the Democratic and Republican National Committees on the eve of the Capitol riot confessed to the crime on Thursday afternoon, sources tell The Post. Brian Cole Jr., 30, will make an initial appearance in DC federal court Friday afternoon to be formally arraigned on charges of transporting explosives across state lines with intent to kill, injure and cause damage and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials.

The Trump administration blamed Biden for failing to catch the Jan 6 pipe bomb suspect - with Dan Bongino even alluding to a 'massive cover up.' 'There is a massive cover-up, because the person who planted those pipe bombs—they don’t want you to know who it was, because it’s either a connected anti-Trump insider, or this was an inside job,' Bongino said in 2024. 'Those bombs were planted there. This was a setup. I have zero doubt.'

During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, providing perhaps the first indication of a possible motive for the bombs placed near the DNC and RNC headquarters, people briefed on the matter said. Cole spent hours with FBI investigators and made multiple statements, the sources said. Dan Bongino, deputy FBI director, told Fox News on Thursday that the FBI had interviewed the suspect at length, but didn’t elaborate. The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment for this story.
