The feds will dispatch monitors to polling sites in 27 states on Election Day, the US Department of Justice announced. Nearly a third of the 86 jurisdictions where the department will keep tabs on polling sites are in the nation’s seven most closely watched swing-states. Monitors are set to visit six counties in Michigan, five in Georgia, four each in Wisconsin and Arizona, three apiece in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, and one in Nevada on Nov. 5. Republican leaders in other states, including Texas, Missouri and Florida, said they would reject the DOJ request for access to polling sites, according...

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Justice has given Ret. Special Forces Green Beret another preposterous but expected ultimatum: Take a plea agreement for four misdemeanor charges or face the full wrath of the United States government! The Biden administration has warned Jeremy that he now faces up to 20 years in prison. He is an innocent man who is being targeted by his government. Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces...

The Justice Department faced criticism on Friday for pushing back on a federal court's order to expedite the timeline for determining whether recordings of President Biden's interviews with then-Special Counsel Robert Hur should be released. The situation developed after advocacy groups filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the recording last month. The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project, as well as Judicial Watch and CNN, all filed requests seeking the release of the tapes, which congressional Republicans have sought and unsuccessfully subpoenaed. The three organizations' FOIA requests were combined into one suit. In April, the DOJ announced it would...

Biden’s DOJ is letting Hunter walk away with the kind of slap on the wrist most defendants can only dream about from inside a prison cell. What a breathtaking and damaging act of misdirection. After five years of investigation into a host of criminal acts by Hunter Biden, the Department of Justice (DOJ) finally brought charges against the president’s wayward son. But while the DOJ hopes the public focuses on words like “charges” and “guilty” to form an image of accountability for all, it’s letting Hunter walk away with the kind of slap on the wrist most defendants can only...

If you read the entire statement, it’s abundantly clear that this was not just a misunderstanding brought about by a group of people who weren’t aware of the rules. They were informed multiple times over multiple days via multiple incidents that they could not be in any of the Capitol buildings without a credentialed escort. Earlier on June 16th, they had been escorted out of the Capitol Rotunda and told the rules. Their intent to ignore the law in order to harass GOP members isn’t in doubt. It’s also untrue that they were invited into the building on June 16th,...

Biden Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Thursday that it will not investigate the widespread mishandling of nursing homes in Pennsylvania at the height of the pandemic, according to The Hill. The DOJ sent a letter to the office of Governor Tom Wolf (D-Penn.) informing him of their decision. Wolf had been accused of violating the law and gross negligence in his mandate that nursing homes be forced to accept patients who had tested positive for the coronavirus, despite the clear and dangerous threat this presented to otherwise healthy residents. Governor Wolf was not the only Pennsylvania official who...

Protesters have gathered Friday outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department for a sixth night after the death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright. Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter fatally shot Wright during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon. Potter has since resigned from the department and has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. 6:00 p.m. A KSTP reporter at the scene estimates 200 people are already outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department. The protesters are up against the fence and chanting, but it has been a peaceful assembly so far. Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott announced this evening that he will change...

The FBI has investigated at least six internal sexual misconduct allegations involving top brass over the last five years — but none of the accused officials ever faced discipline, even when the reports were substantiated... The cases include an assistant FBI director who was accused of drunkenly groping a female subordinate, a senior FBI official who allegedly sexually harassed eight employees and another high-ranking official accused of blackmailing a young employee for sex... Two of those claims came this week ... none of the high-ranking members faced discipline beyond quiet transfers and early retirements. “They’re sweeping it under the rug,”...

We have been tracking reports of paramilitary and other far-right actors who are showing up at or adjacent to protests demanding an end to racist policing and a transformation of our carceral state.

Given the variety of groups and factions involved and types of incidents, we have...

Companies endorse liberal causes at seemingly every turn, virtue-signaling their way to what they hope are greater profits.

Bill and Hillary are at a Yankees home game, sitting in the first row, with the Secret Service people directly behind them. One of the Secret Service guys leans forward and whispers something to Bill. At first, Clinton stares at the guy, looks at Hillary, looks back at the agent, and shakes his head "no". The agent then says, "Mr. President, it was a unanimous request of the entire team, from the owner to the bat boy." Bill hesitates but begins to change his mind when the agent tells him the fans would love it. Bill shrugs his shoulders and...

A federal judge dismissed Ferguson, Mo., rioters’ $40 million civil rights that claimed police used excessive force against them Monday. U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey ruled in favor of the Missouri law enforcement, reports WWMT. The nine plaintiffs, “have completely failed to present any credible evidence that any of the actions taken by these individuals were taken with malice or were committed in bad faith,” Autrey wrote in his ruling.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sat during the national anthem in each of the team's three preseason games and plans to continue to do so until he sees real change when it comes to racial oppression in the United States. "Yes, I'll continue to sit," Kaepernick said. "I'm going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me this is something that has to change. When there's significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it's supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it's supposed...

The Justice Department fired back at the Texas judge who ordered its attorneys to undertake ethics classes after finding they misled the court in a high-profile challenge to President Obama’s deportation amnesty — saying the order was beyond the judge’s authority and would cost millions to implement. In a motion filed Tuesday asking for a stay of the order, in which U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen said DOJ attorneys were “intentionally deceptive,” government attorneys outlined their objections to both the training requirements and his requirement that by June 10 the Department of Homeland Security turn over identifying information for 50,000...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — The Justice Department will investigate an episode at a high school here in which a white police officer is seen in a video upending the desk of a black female student in a math class and dragging her when she refused to leave the classroom. The video of a deputy sheriff, Ben Fields, in the classroom quickly went viral, and prompted the Richland County Sheriff, Leon Lott, to ask federal officials to investigate the encounter at Spring Valley High School. On the department’s Facebook page on Tuesday, Sheriff Lott said the federal investigation had begun. Local law...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Justice Department will fast track the sending of $29 million to South Carolina to help families of victims of the mass murder of nine churchgoers at a historic black church in Charleston, a Justice Department spokesman said on Friday. An unspecified portion of the money, allocated under the government's national Crime Victim Assistance Formula Grant program, can be used to provide services to the families of victims of the shootings at Emmanuel AME Church, spokesman Kevin Lewis said.

Documents obtained through a lawsuit recently issued against the City of Phoenix by government watchdog Judicial Watch reveal a weapon from the Department of Justice's Operation Fast and Furious was used to injure two people in a 2013 gang-style assault on an apartment complex. When the incident occurred and during investigation afterward, police worked with federal law enforcement agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency in the case, raising suspicions the assault wasn't simply a typical, local gang shootout and prompted questions about the details of where the weapons...
