Now, we learn Biden has extended one final middle finger to the victims of J6 by pardoning all of the Capitol police officers who testified regarding the J6 protests. This means a full pardon to incompetent US Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who killed Air Force veteran and American war hero Ashli Babbitt. Biden, though, sees nothing wrong with pardoning a man many feel is guilty of cold-blooded murder. “Even when individuals have done nothing wrong-and in fact have done the right thing-and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and...

As Jim Hoft reported earlier, Joe Biden pardoned Tony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the entire J6 Select Committee of liars in his final act as president.

This means a full pardon to incompetent US Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd, who killed Air Force veteran and American war hero Ashli Babbitt.

Incoming Vice President JD Vance has received some notable criticism for his comments on J6 protesters earlier today, and now he is firing back. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Vance appeared on Fox News Sunday today to speak about the incoming Trump Administration’s plans to save America. But he inadvertently whipped up a social media uproar when the subject turned to J6 pardons. During the discussion, Vance revealed to host Shannon Bream how Trump will decide who should get a pardon and who should stay in jail. And this is bad news for some notable J6 prisoners. “It’s very simple,”...

The New York Times has buried numerous important and relevant pieces of information in its latest high-profile story regarding the shooting death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt. The Times’ story seems to intentionally shrouds the mysterious circumstances surrounding Babbitt’s death to protect a trio of unknown, shadowy or radical figures who were involved in the fatal incident. ----SNIP---- Despite the extraordinary video, conveniently captured by an Antifa-supporting activist named John Sullivan, there have been very few attempts by major media outlets to dissect what really happened with the shooting of the Trump supporter

Following McCarthy's ouster, acting Speaker Patrick McHenry ordered Nancy Pelosi to leave the special hideaway office she didn't relinquish following her party's defeat in the 2022 mid-terms.

Patrick McHenry ordered former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to vacate her Capitol hideaway office by Wednesday, according to an email sent to her office viewed by POLITICO. “Please vacate the space tomorrow, the room will be...
