Summary of Video Transcript North Carolina Republican Senator Thom Tillis told CNN's "State of the Union," in response to President Trump calling him a RINO (Republican in Name Only), that if being in the party means defending Trump's positions on Iran, January 6, and Russia, "then don't call me a Republican." "Just call me a conservative. And I'm waiting for my Republicans to come back, if in fact they think they can argue that effectively. They can't. The American people want right-of-center conservative policies that have been successfully proposed by this president," Tillis said. "But these distractions are harmful to...

SEOUL, Jan 14 (Yonhap)-A special counsel team has requested the death penalty for former President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed imposition of martial law, describing him as the ringleader of an insurrection who sought to stay in power by seizing control of the judiciary and legislature. Special Counsel Cho Eun-suk's team made the request during the final hearing of Yoon's trial at the Seoul Central District Court on Tuesday, just over a year after the then president declared martial law on Dec. 3, 2024, with the stated aim of eradicating anti-state forces. The court plans to hand down its...

Dearborn, Michigan, was back in the national spotlight last month after a far-right protest spiraled into street clashes, a near-Quran burning, and the latest debate about religion, identity and political extremism in America's largest Muslim-majority city. The drama began when Jake Lang – a January 6 rioter, newly pardoned by Donald Trump, and now a long-shot Republican US Senate candidate in Florida – arrived in Dearborn with an entourage, cameras, and a self-styled 'anti-Sharia' crusade. He carried bacon in one hand and a Quran in the other, marching through the city center in combat gear and trolling locals, daring them...

The BBC misled viewers by doctoring a video of President Donald Trump to make it appear he was encouraging the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021, according to a whistleblower memo viewed by the Telegraph. The corporation aired the video during a Panorama program titled "Trump: A Second Chance," which was broadcast a week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The spliced-together version made it seem as though Trump said: "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be with you, and we fight. We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not gonna have...

After targeting one former FBI director he forced out, Trump raised the prospect of an investigation into a different former FBI director he forced out.For more than four years, a wide variety of Republican conspiracy theorists clung to a ridiculous idea about the Jan. 6 attack: It was federal law enforcement, they’ve claimed, that secretly instigated the insurrectionist assault on the Capitol. The absurd claims grew so common that they were given a name: the “fedsurrection” narrative.Indeed, at the heart of the theory is the idea that insurrectionist rioters were actually the victims on Jan. 6: These poor, unsuspecting partisans...

It has been blazingly obvious that the Jan. 6 “insurrection,” which the left has used for over four years now to try to portray Trump as a dangerous would-be dictator and his supporters as violent fascists, was a set-up ever since the videos began circulating of police holding open the Capitol doors as the supposed “insurrectionists” strolled leisurely in. Now, however, it is even clearer that the whole Jan. 6 “insurrection” was an attempt to frame Trump for allegedly trying to overthrow the government, which, if it had worked, would have kept him from running for president again: it has...

EXCLUSIVE: The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said."Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the...

During a review of the FBI's January 6, 2021 after-action report it was discovered that 274 plain clothes FBI agents were assigned to mingle with the crowd that trespassed in the Capitol on that day. Many of those agents later filed complaints with the after-action team saying they "were sent into an unsafe scenario without proper safety equipment or the ability to identify themselves readily as armed officers to other police agencies." Another agent said "I no longer feel it is legally or morally acceptable to support a federal law enforcement and intelligence agency motivated by political bias." Yet another...

Many thanks to the irreplaceable Julie Kelly for reading Kamala Harris’s new memoir, 107 Days, and posting relevant sections. The section most relevant to Kelly and the folks at Revolver News, who helped break this story, deals with the legendary pipe bombs found on January 6, 2021, near the RNC headquarters in Washington and just outside the DNC HQ. The bottom line: Harris still can’t get her story straight about her activities on January 6, and her lies have been costly for J6ers. In the way of background, for nearly a year after January 6 prosecutors were telling J6 judges...

This is different from what Director Christopher Wray stated, over and over again! That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as “Law Enforcement Officials.” I want to know who each and every one of these so-called “Agents” are, and what they were up to on that now “Historic” Day. Many Great American Patriots were made to pay a very big price only for the love of their Country. I owe this investigation of “Dirty Cops and Crooked Politicians” to them! Christopher...

The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years. Scores of FBI agents and personnel – many from the bureau’s premier Washington field office (WFO) – sent anonymous complaints to the after-action team detailing how agents were sent into an unsafe...

The case against Douglass Mackey was always a sham. A weaponized DOJ tried to turn a meme into a federal crime. The same DOJ has also gone after January 6 prisoners and President Trump with political prosecutions. Different cases, but the goal was the same. It had zero to do with justice. It was all about political punishment, intimidation, and total control. Yes, Mackey’s conviction was tossed out by an appeals court months ago… and overwhelmingly, by the way. But the story didn’t end there. In the days that followed, prosecutors had the chance to fight back, to appeal, and...

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday that the city’s police force has crime under control and doesn’t need the National Guard, law-enforcement sources said. The pair met for about 30 minutes behind closed doors at One Police Plaza in Manhattan, with the tête-à-tête occurring as President Trump has taken a keen interest in boosting public safety in the city — including by potentially deploying additional boots on the ground in the five boroughs. The president has already sent armed National Guard troops to crime-riddled Washington, DC. But the Big Apple’s top cop politely pointed...

Apparently trumps threat is starting to get real. They have to have a preliminary plan to give [t]o the mayor by Wednesday of how CPD will respond if the national guard is deployed... will cpd have to assist in any way if anyone is arrested for local and non federal charges etc etc. some are hinting this may happen in time for Mexican independence weekend. This will be a disaster... Au contraire dear reader....this will not be a disaster. This will be entertainment of the highest order. We have contacts standing by at three different hospitals and a mole in...

Screencap of Twitter/X video. Trump has had control of Washington, DC for a little over a week and it has already made a tremendous difference, and while partisans and talking heads on TV continue to describe this as ‘authoritarian’ many of the people who actually live there seem to appreciate it. In the video below, which has been shared widely on Twitter/X and other social media platforms, a young woman from Washington, DC marvels at what Trump has been able to do in such a short amount of time. You will not see this young woman featured on CNN or...

ot a single member of government is against the system, which is, entirely based on a library of information that captures the electronic data of every American..... . FISA becomes so absolutely critical for the interests of the National Security Apparatus.... isn’t a single govt official who would dare step forth to challenge the baseline of the FISA process, because the FISA process is the tool that permits the legal exploitation of the NSA Database. There was no way for Tulsi to get beyond the block of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), the group that held control of...

Nancy Pelosi is probably kicking herself over her most recent X post, because it opened a can of worms she never wanted spilled. But TDS got in the way, and she couldn’t help herself. In a desperate effort to smear President Trump’s plan to clean up DC’s deadly streets, Pelosi took to X and claimed that Trump “delayed” deploying the National Guard on January 6… a claim that instantly blew back on her, in a big way, dredging up an old debate about her role that day. ... But even worse for Pelosi was the blistering response from former Capitol...
