Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Scruggs will have his day in court, but no single case will restore the equilibrium razed by J6 prosecutors.By way of introduction, my name is Adam Johnson — but most people know me as “the Lectern Guy.” On Jan. 6, 2021, I kind of broke the internet after I was photographed smiling and waving as I was carrying then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s podium through the Capitol rotunda. Suffice it to say, the authorities did not look kindly on what I did, and I was later arrested.Eventually, I was transferred to a courtroom after four...

The University of New England welcomed two former White House chiefs of staff to the Biddeford Campus on Wednesday for the 13th annual George and Barbara Bush Distinguished Lecture Series, offering behind-the-scenes accounts of a presidential administration during a transformational time in history. Featured speaker John Sununu, former chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush, and moderator Andrew Card, once Sununu’s deputy, painted a picture of a president who cared deeply about his domestic agenda, even though he was known for his foreign policy. “George Bush’s reputation as a foreign policy president was earned,” Sununu said. “But (he) was...

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) responded to Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen’s Monday press conference by stressing that she does not need a sheriff giving her a “lecture on constitutionality.” Breitbart News reported that Allen used his press conference to make clear that neither he nor his deputies will enforce Grisham’s ban on concealed and open carry of firearms. He described the ban as “unconstitutional.” In video published by ABQ Raw, Allen said, “I hold my standards high and I do not, nor ever will, hedge on what is right. I take my oath seriously.” He went on...

IDF officers directed harsh criticism at a civics lesson with Reserve Major Professor Yishai Bar, which is required for those hoping to advance in rank. The officers claim Professor Bar spoke against the government's judicial reform plan and religious education. The officers reported to Torat Lehima, a nonprofit advocating for Jewish values in the IDF, that some of the officers demanded that the course commander, Lt. Col. Hanoch Dauba, stop the lecture, which sparked a fierce dispute among the officers present. Soldiers in the course who intend to become company commanders in the IDF said: "We have no problem engaging...

First Lady Jill Biden will join Sesame Street and the United Services Automobile Association (USAA) to lecture U.S. military families about race — despite the fact that the U.S. military is more diverse than the rest of the federal government and the American population in general. The Hill reported Monday: First lady Jill Biden is partnering with “Sesame Street” and the United Services Automobile Association (USAA) to help military families discuss race with their children. In a joint statement, “Sesame Street” and the USAA shared their joint partnership by releasing a new collection of resources for military families on the...

Hardcore liberals are far more apt to engage in public criticism and protest to support their views than conservatives. A recent poll has just confirmed what we’ve all known in our gut for a long time: While conservatives are hesitant to express their political views in public -- whether it be at school, the workplace or at social gatherings, for fear of damaging reprisals -- extreme liberals have no such reservations. Emboldened by supportive social media platforms and major media outlets that are unabashedly liberal and decidedly anti-Trump, the far Left has no fear of repercussions as a result of...

Awesome. This guy has it going on.

The son of former German President Richard von Weizaecker was killed during a lecture on Tuesday evening after an audience member brutally attacked him with a knife, police said. Dr. Fritz von Weizsaecker, 59, was presenting a lecture about fatty liver disease at the Schlosspark-Klinik medical clinic where he worked in Berlin when police say a 57-year-old German man jumped up from the audience and attacked him with a knife. Authorities have not released the identity or motive of the suspect, who remains in police custody, but did add that he was not a patient at the hospital. Von Weizaecker...

Cornell Republicans are worried that students may have collected as many as 88 tickets to lower turnout for Tuesday’s Dick Cheney lecture in a move taken without seeking approval from the student organizations leading the protest against the former U.S. vice president. Marco Antonio Peralta-Ochoa, freshmen representative-at-large for the Student Assembly, approached members of the Cornell Republicans and admitted to collecting dozens of tickets “countless times” in what Weston Barker, current C.R. freshmen representative and incoming treasurer, considered a serious, 45 minutes to 1 hour-long conversation in Amit Bhatia Libe Cafe last Wednesday. Peralta-Ochoa declined to comment to The Sun...

Angela Davis, a former Communist Party USA leader and Black Panther, as well as a former member of FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted, recently spoke at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Her speech, entitled "Freedom is a Constant Struggle: Why Movements for Social Justice Support Palestine," was far from impartial or fair. Her speech was co-sponsored by the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the GW Black Student Union and GW Feminist Student Union. It was to kick off SJP's ‘Palestine Awareness Week' to promote awareness about the occupation of Palestine. Per Campus Reform, Davis did not mince words...

SNIP to the meat: The President routinely describes reporting he dislikes as FAKE NEWS. The Administration calls the press “the opposition party,” ridicules news organizations it doesn’t like as business failures, and calls for journalists to be fired. Mr. Trump has called for rewriting libel laws in order to more easily sue the press. This isn’t unprecedented in U.S. history, though you might have to go back to the Administration of John Adams to see something quite like it. And so far the rhetorical salvos haven’t been matched by legal or regulatory action. Maybe they never will be. But the...

When Regent University law professor James Duane first delivered his "Don't Talk to the Police!" lecture back in 2008, he likely had no idea that it would go viral again nearly a decade later. Duane's lecture, which encourages people to exercise their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, has been getting renewed attention in the wake of Netflix's "Making a Murderer" documentary, which covers the trial of Steven Avery, who was found guilty in 2007 of killing photographer Teresa Halbach.

He even hates us in the Oval Office. Or at least disrespects us, thinking that if he doesn't give us one more condescending lecture on how great Muslims are that we're going to start lynching them. Republicans are bad, Muslims are good, let's not talk tough. And, no, we're not actually going to go and fight the people who are at war with us. That's what Barack Obama said last night. Long past the point that everybody stopped listening to him, he is speaking more and more and saying less and less. And what he is saying has become completely...

Fox News contributor John R. Lott Jr., author of the book, “More Guns, Less Crime,” will present a lecture on gun control and crime at Dickinson College.
