The Department of Justice is well aware that the Proud Boys who attended the Stop the Steal rally on January 6 were not violent and did not conspire to enter the Capitol—yet are prosecuting them on conspiracy charges anyway, FBI documents obtained by Gateway Pundit reveal. Five members of the group are currently in pre-trial detention on federal charges: Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl. A whistleblower leaked “a treasure trove” of exculpatory documents, and text messages—some marked “Highly Sensitive”—to the Gateway Pundit reporter Cara Castronuova. “These documents would be buried forever and never see...

YouTube has declared war on anyone who dares to push back against the left’s radicalized gender ideology on its platform. The Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing slammed YouTube’s assault against his news network’s popular lineup of podcast hosts in a fired-up Twitter thread on Sunday. Boreing accused YouTube of censorship over the allegation that his outfit’s content, spanning through the accounts of Hosts Candance Owens, Michael Knowles and Jordan B. Peterson, violated the anti-free speech platform’s “Hateful and Derogatory” content policies over their content related to "transgender" . Boreing wrote that “@realDailyWire has received ~200 violations from @YouTube,” resulting in...

(LifeSiteNews) — Major box store Target is drawing renewed backlash after recent reports indicated that one of the designers who created merchandise for the corporation’s controversial “pride month” celebration is a transgender-identifying woman who also designs and sells items featuring violent and explicitly satanic imagery. The items, which are not stocked by Target, include pins encouraging violence against people considered to be “transphobes.” As LifeSiteNews previously reported, Target has received blowback from conservatives for its decision to sell sexualized pro-LGBT clothing and accessories for babies, children, and teens. The offerings include clothing items designed to facilitate gender-confused children appearing as...

Knowles brings politics to the Turkey day dinner and the liberals go berserk. Link HERE. Also a copy I dropped onto YouTube HERE.

Conservative author and commentator Michael Knowles was assaulted by a protester while giving a lecture at the University of Missouri-Kansas City campus on behalf of Young Americans for Freedom. The Thursday event was called “A Night with Michael Knowles," and the topic of the lecture was "men are not women." Knowles was lamenting the identity politics peddled by many progressives, which he says has cheapened higher education. There is a course being taught right now at an American university on angry white men. When I look at who's angry, I'm not so sure," said Knowles, 29, a Yale University graduate....

Ferguson, Missouri’s top elected official in the tumultuous 32 months since the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown won another three-year term Tuesday. James Knowles III, the mayor who was the public face of Ferguson after Brown’s death in August 2014, held off a challenge from city Councilwoman Ella Jones, who was seeking to become the St. Louis suburb’s first-ever black mayor. Knowles won with 56 percent of the vote to Jones’ 44 percent. It will be Knowles’ final term in office, due to term limits. Ferguson voters also approved a ballot measure adding strict police body camera requirements to...

A Miami Beach police officer accused of hassling the sister of pop star Beyoncé in a dispute over an inflated banana has had 16 internal affairs complaints filed against him, and 33 documented incidents of using force to make an arrest in his 16 years with the department. Officer John Pereira was suspended for 120 hours in 2005 for using excessive force, and has been reprimanded three times, including once for violating the department's rules for integrity, records show. Pereira, who was in uniform working an off-duty shift at Club Cameo in South Beach, allegedly intervened when Solange Knowles was...

Well, this could make things even more interesting in Alaska. Tea party candidate Joe Miller looks likely to unseat incumbent Lisa Murkowski, but now the Daily Beast is reporting that the state's senior senator is mulling a third-party run. While the deadline for independent candidates to file has passed, "a source within the Murkowski campaign says they know of one possible legal option to pursue a third party run." And then it gets even more complicated, as rumors fly that Democrats might substitute former Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles for Scott McAdams, the winner of yesterday's primary, on the November ballot....

On last night's "Daily Show", Jon Stewart took aim at MSNBC for the network's continued slide toward what he sees as the same partisan cheerleading that one has witnessed over the past eight years at FOX News. Watch: http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=210922 While many liberals have hailed the rise of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow as a long-overdue cable news counterweight to their ideological rivals on FOX, others, like Stewart, bemoan the further blurring of the line between news and commentary. The latter group decries the loss of objectivity in journalism. Left or right, it matters not who commits this crime. What's important...

Sarah Palin (R) 47% Tony Knowles (D) 40% Undecided 13% 500 Likely Voters Survey conducted October 9th

Former Wasilla mayor Sarah Palin knocked embattled incumbent Gov. Frank Murkowski out of office in the Republican primary race for governor Tuesday, setting the stage for a general election showdown with former two-term Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles and for a potential shake-up in her own party.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Former Alaska Gov. Tony Knowles said Monday that he will run for a new term. In an interview with The Associated Press, the two-term Democrat invoked Alaska's only three-term governor, fellow Democrat Bill Egan, who returned to office in 1970 for the final planning of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. "In that same spirit, I will make sure a natural gas pipeline is constructed," Knowles said. "We will never again have to pray for another boom if we have the will and the strength to do this one right." Also Monday, House Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz, D-Anchorage,...

Republican Gov. Frank H. Murkowski of Alaska announced today that he would seek a second term, ending months of speculation. The announcement comes just days before the state's June 1 filing deadline. “He has a lot of unfinished business to do,” said Murkowski's deputy press secretary Will Vandergriff, adding that the governor hopes to improve education and state services in a second term. Alaska's political establishment had been waiting on Murkowski's announcement, which was originally expected in January, for months. He is seen as vulnerable despite the strong Republican leanings of Alaska’s largely conservative electorate — and his own track...

LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — Jesse Knowles, whose decades of public service ranged from being a World War II prisoner of war to a longtime member of the state Legislature, has died. Knowles, of Lake Charles, died Sunday night at an area hospital. He was 86. During a lifetime spent in the public eye, Knowles won the Purple Heart, co-wrote the Lake Charles city charter, led the local Armed Forces Committee and was a familiar figure at school programs and veterans ceremonies. As a member of the U.S. Army Air Corps, Knowles was a survivor of the Bataan Death March....

Traitors of Record: The Record of the New York TimesBy Fedora “. . .the most untrustworthy paper in the United States. . .” --President Dwight Eisenhower, referring to the New York TimesIntroductionLast week Senator John Cornyn criticized the New York Times for endangering national security with a James Risen story on NSA surveillance timed to coincide with a vote on the Patriot Act and, incidentally, with the release of a book by Risen. A review of the record illustrates that endangering national security through irresponsible leaks is nothing new for the New York Times. Some particularly outrageous examples are worth...

For info purposes, this was posted by Patrick Hynes, a GOP campaign consultant, proprietor of crushkerry.com and former political director of the New Hampshire State GOP Committee Alaska Update. The predominant thinking on the US Senate race in Alaska was that Sen. Lisa Murkowski was going to lose and the Democrats would pick up the seat. Dem nominee Tony Knowles is popular and has run a good campaign. But I just spoke to the pollster on the race who told me the last three nights of tracking had Murkowski taking and holding onto a lead. Keeping Alaska is great news...
