The Secret Service may have violated federal records laws by failing to preserve data - including information related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack - after it had been requested by investigators, the House committee investigating the riot said Wednesday. The condemnation came after the panel subpoenaed the agency following an allegation from the inspector general at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees the Secret Service, that it had “erased” the texts during a device replacement program. “We have concerns about a system migration that we have been told resulted in the erasure of Secret Service cell phone...

WASHINGTON - The Secret Service has no new text messages related to the Jan. 6 attack to hand over to the special House committee investigating the Capitol riot, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News on Tuesday.

The committee issued a subpoena for those records last week. The Secret Service plans to do a “forensic examination” of agents’ phones identified in the inspector general’s report, the source said, but added that...

And while kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper are the backbone of briskest at most joints in the state, there are often more ingredients added. Inside the prep rooms of several top-ranked pitmasters, there’s also commercially produced seasoned salt. Last June, Jonny White released a video on his Jirby BBQ YouTube channel describing his method for brisket seasoning. He’s the pitmaster and co-owner...

BREAKING: US govt asks Russia to keep the written response to Moscow’s demand on security guarantees —a secret, to not publish any contents of the US response - Washington Post citing leaked dochttps://twitter.com/ASBMilitary/status/1484793098592944129 1. Biden knows Putin has checkmated NATO this time. The U.S cannot afford a major war in Europe at a time when China could pounce on Taiwan at any moment. Biden also understands NATO could come off second best in a war against Russia, given the fact that Russia was the first to mobilize and deploy. In other words, Moscow is 100% ready. NATO is not (Europe's...

Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) is requiring parents to sign a form comparable to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to view a portion of the district’s new curriculum inspired by critical race theory, according to documents reviewed by the Daily Caller.

A man from Sussex, England recently experienced what was essentially a real-life game of “Clue.” The man found what used to be a door hidden behind a bookshelf leading to a series of underground tunnels that led to various secret rooms left closed for decades, maybe centuries. The New York Post reports that the family of 23-year-old Freddy Goodall has lived on the estate for roughly 500 years. As Goodall perused through some old photos featuring the home’s library, he noticed something strange: a doorway that was nowhere to be found in the modern day was clearly pictured years ago...

A few years into waiting for “the storm” to sweep away former President Donald Trump’s enemies, some believers in the prophetic QAnon conspiracy theory have decided to take matters into their own hands. These “digital soldiers” aren’t picking up guns or marching on the Capitol - though many actually did that. Instead, nearly 100 Q-aligned candidates ran for Congress in the 2020 election, according to watchdog site Media Matters for America, with dozens of others running for governor, state legislature seats and county offices. Some were hardcore Q evangelists, while others had merely retweeted a QAnon hashtag. But all had...

<p>Rumsfeld was a true American patriot but also the archetype of disaster in the republic in the modern era, an outstanding tactician and an overmatched strategist.</p><p>It is one of the irritating defects of genius that, particularly when surrounded by crushing mediocrity, the audacity of having ideas becomes a source of recurring controversy. To have the most ideas means you have the most good ideas, but also the most bad ideas. I have had the great fortune to know and meet more than a handful of figures in my life who truly qualify as men of genius, and one of them was certainly Donald Rumsfeld, who passed away yesterday at the ripe age of 88.</p>

You could call it returning to the scene of the crime. Anthony Weiner has rejoined the secret messaging app Confide, on which he had a months-long online sexting relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Users of the app — which allows people to communicate with messages encrypted for privacy that disappear right after they’re read and leave no digital trace — were shocked to see Carlos Danger is back in town. It seems that if Weiner’s personal e-mail was already saved in a user’s contacts, said Confide user got a message last week: “New friend. Anthony Weiner joined Confide. Send Anthony...
