My money is on Q13 Fox being just plain stupid but the error (!?!) on their website is fascinating to say the least. Frankly, I can understand why they made it! After you force yourself to toddle from Q13's site over to Joe Biden's website (gag! retch!) to check the "Official" schedule for this week's events, you'll find it's about as clear as mud. (see slideshow) It very clearly states that "I Do Solemnly Swear: The U. S. Presidential Inauguration" is scheduled for high noon on Tuesday, January 19th. That seems pretty clear, doesn't it? High Noon. Inauguration. What's one...

Following last week’s vote by the Maricopa County GOP in Arizona to censure Cindy McCain, widow of the late senator John McCain, the state Republican party is considering a similar measure. The state party vote is expected to take place on January 23rd. The Maricopa County censure railed against Mrs. McCain as a “troubled individual, with a past riddled with drug abuse and illegalities associated with such behavior.” The measure also notes that McCain has supported “leftist causes” including gay marriage, big government, and “others that run counter to Republican values.” Well, that and going well out of her way...

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has reportedly sued the federal government for $250,000 over his treatment at a Colorado prison where he is currently serving a life sentence. The lawsuit specifically cites in part the allegation that prison guards took his hat and bandana away while restricting his use of showers, something Tsarnaev asserts is contributing to his anxiety. The Boston Herald reports that Tsarnaev “specifically cites the confiscation of his white baseball cap and bandana that he purchased at the prison commissary and not being able to take more showers.” The report notes that Tsarnaev claims “the harsh treatment...

<p>Screenshots from a Discord chat channel allegedly hosted by John Sullivan – a far-left, anti-Trump activist who appears to have incited violence at the U.S. Capitol while posing as a journalist – reveal he and his followers infiltrated the January 6th Save America March in Washington, D.C.</p>

Washington, DC is beginning to resemble a war zone, as National Guard troops numbering in the tens of thousands are armed and have been given permission to use lethal force as Joe Biden’s inauguration date looms. A statement from the D.C. National Guard indicates “National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members of Congress and their staff.” A defense official confirmed to U.S. News & World Report that the authorization “includes permission for Guard troops to use lethal force.” Reports indicate that 20,000 National Guard...

An op-ed by the staff at Forbes threatens companies who plan to hire members of President Trump’s inner circle that they will immediately be dismissed by the magazine as liars. The column begins with the assertion that the Capitol riots were “rooted in lies” about a “fair election.” The magazine then mocks Trump associates as “fabulists.” They reference an image above the column that shows former White House press secretaries Sean Spicer, Stephanie Grisham and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, current press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and former counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway. “Let it be known to the business world: Hire...

After an uproarious attack on the U.S. Capitol last week, Vice President Mike Pence split from his commander-in-chief and quickly condemned the mob-like behavior from pro-Trump supporters—leadership that was tested as President Donald Trump initially hesitated to act. Pence has exercised “unflinching loyalty” towards Trump up until this point, as the president blasted Pence’s constitutional duty in certifying the electoral college results. Trump and his close allies attempted to push his political partner to reject the vote based on baseless claims of voter fraud, but Pence firmly denied the request and proceeded with his authority over the Senate—a job that...

John Earle Sullivan, a 26-year-old left-wing activist and “known agitator,” has been arrested for his role in the Capitol riots after he was caught on film shouting “it’s our house” and “we got to get this s**t burned.” Sullivan, who has previously taken part in Black Lives Matter protests, told multiple media outlets prior to his arrest that he was simply on-site to ‘document’ the events at the Capitol. In an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper after the riot, the left-wing agitator “implied that he was passively observing the situation as it unfolded.” Sullivan told Fox News last week that...

DORSEY: “You should always feel free to express yourself in whatever format manifestation feels right. We do intend to do the full retro as I said in my note, it is going to take some time. And then the other thing, just to close out a little bit. We know, we are focused on one account right now. But this is going to be much bigger than just one account, and it’s going to go on for much longer than just this day, this week. And the next few weeks and go on beyond the inauguration. We have to expect...

The publisher of The Bulwark and executive director for one of NeverTrumper Bill Kristol’s get-rid-of-Trump campaigns is a donor to President-elect Joe Biden. Kristol’s Republican Accountability Project (RAP) is working to protect anti-Trump Republicans in Congress. It is guarding those who “vote to impeach, remove, and disqualify President Trump” by warding off primary challenges, according to the campaign’s webpage. RAP announced that it would also be looking to punish more than 100 GOP members who objected to certification of the Electoral College. Specifically, RAP would do this by “standing up primary challenges” to Republicans who didn’t toe the line and...

Rep. Brian Mast, an Afghanistan war veteran and double amputee, fired back at Jake Tapper after the CNN anchor questioned his patriotism. Tapper, during a segment covering impeachment proceedings in the House, went low and questioned Mast’s commitment to Democracy as the congressman spoke in opposition to the impeachment of President Trump. “Congressman Brian Mast, a Republican from Florida – who lost his legs, by the way, fighting for democracy abroad, although I don’t know … about his commitment to it here in the United States,” Tapper told a panel. Mast repeatedly condemned the Capitol protests that led to Trump’s...

Kenneth R. Timmerman today properly reminds us that it is leaders, not institutions, that have betrayed us. James S. Corum reminds us today of the deep bench that resides in the party below the level of top congressional leaders — and the formidable power of state governments and political organizations under GOP control. Discarding these tools amounts to unilateral disarmament just as we need them in the critical elections ahead. Leaders can be influenced and discarded, but institutions take a long time to build. We have state-level redistricting in immediate prospect and a midterm election in less than 22 months....

There’s more than one way to neutralize a threat and these novel, thin, finned steel projectiles can put on a hurt at greater distance than buckshot - Flechettes were first used as small bomblets dropped from airplanes in World War I and World War II. Their use in small arms began in February 1951, when Irwin R. Barr of Aircraft Armaments Inc. came out with the concept of firearms flechettes. Initially, the emphasis was on firing one flechette instead of a standard rifle bullet. This led to the Army’s Special Purpose Individual Weapon (SPIW) program, as the concept was tested....

A growing number of GOP lawmakers are calling on Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to resign from her leadership post following a statement indicating explaining her vote to impeach President Trump. Cheney is the House GOP Conference chairwoman and No. 3 Republican Representative to vote in favor of impeachment. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,” Cheney said in a statement. “Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President.” ... Showing a divide in the Republican party over the impeachment issue, some...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell reportedly signaled support for impeachment, saying the Democrats’ move could help the GOP get rid of President Trump and his movement. The New York Times initially claimed that McConnell was “pleased” that House Democrats had introduced an article of impeachment against Trump. Fox News adds that multiple sources have confirmed McConnell is “done” and “furious” with the President. The Kentucky Republican, according to Fox, “told associates that impeachment will help rid the Republican Party of Trump and his movement.” McConnell’s anger, according to the article, stems not only from the way President Trump handled the...

AOC is calling on Congress to directly violate the First Amendment by ‘reining in’ media that might be favorable to President Trump. ‘We’re going to have to figure out how we reign in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation’ Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated that some Congress members are discussing the need to create an investigative commission to “rein in” media sources that she said “spew disinformation and misinformation” that played a part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol building. “There’s absolutely a commission that is being discussed, but it seems to...

Republican California Rep. Tom McClintock said there might not have been any Capitol riot if the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and antifa rioters had been prosecuted “with the same determination” as impeachment. MCCLINTOCK: “And if we prosecuted BLM and Antifa rioters across the country with the same determination these last six months, this incident may not have happened at all. Now, short of declaring war, the power of impeachment is the most solemn and consequential act that Congress can take. To use it in this manner, in the heat of the moment, with no hearings, no due process, many members...

No other U.S. Air Force aircraft could fly faster or higher than the Lockheed SR-71 “Blackbird,” and on its final flight, it set a truly impressive record. The reconnaissance aircraft flew from the west coast of the United States to the east coast – some 2,404 miles – in just 68:17 minutes. During that flight, it traveled from St. Louis, Missouri, and Cincinnati, Ohio, a distance of 311 miles in about eight and a half minutes.

President-elect Joe Biden is reportedly concerned that implementation of his agenda will be slowed significantly by the Democrats second impeachment of President Trump. House Democrats officially impeached Trump on Wednesday, making him the first President to ever be impeached twice. The earliest the Senate could begin an impeachment trial would be January 20th, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the day of Biden’s inauguration. Biden, knowing that the Senate process for potential conviction would be time-consuming, is concerned his agenda could get derailed right out of the gate. “I had a discussion today with some of the folks in...

The Democratic Party Left, their media myrmidons, and their Wall Street/Silicon Valley allies have brutalized, terrorized, and silenced Trump supporters since 2016. Conservative complacency is to blame. It has finally come to pass. The Kakistocrats have prevailed and they are silencing dissent. Trump voters are to speak only with bated breath, if they are permitted to speak at all, in the presence of the Democratic Party masters, their surrogate thugs, their monied puppet masters and their media myrmidons. For those of us who experienced the rioting and insurrection perpetrated by Democrats and their surrogates during President Trump’s 2017 Inauguration, we...
