Georgia Republican leaders Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are both caught on tape in scandalous situations connected to China, which will likely hamper their re-election chances in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is determined to defeat them as revenge for their refusal to help Trump in the 2020 election overtime period. President Trump endorsed Rep. Jody Hice, who is running against Raffensperger for Secretary of State in the Republican primary in 2022. Trump is also planning to campaign hard against Brian Kemp, who is expected to seek re-election in 2022. Raffensperger did not even manage...

The lie that George Floyd was murdered by racist police officers in Minneapolis has made its way around the world several times over, leaving countless violent riots and more than $2 billion in property damages in its wake, but it seems that the truth is finally putting on its shoes. In June of 2020, 60 percent of surveyed adults deemed George Floyd’s death to be murder at the hands of police officer Derek Chauvin. As of last month, a little more than a third of Americans believe that. That’s a stunning near-reversal of public opinion. How did that happen? The...

Michael Sherwin, the federal prosecutor who until recently was leading the criminal investigation into the Capitol riots, told CBS' "60 Minutes" Sunday that evidence indicates sedition charges will be laid against some suspects.Why it matters: Few people have faced this Civil War-era charge, which makes it a crime to conspire or overthrow the government. But Sherwin told CBS' Scott Pelley "the evidence is trending towards that" charge "and probably meets those elements." "I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that," he added.Of note: During his interview, Pelley...

In a bombshell new video, the Senate Majority Leader in Michigan, Mike Shirkey, is secretly recorded confessing that the January 6 U.S. Capitol takeover was “staged” in order to secure an impeachment against President Trump. He went on to claim that, not only was it “pre-arranged”, but Mitch McConnell was “part of it”.

President Trump’s attorney Michael van der Veen dispelled mainstream media’s false claims about his acquittal. He refuted an attempt by a CBS reporter to downplay the significance of Democrat impeachment managers selectively editing evidence for the Senate trial.“The media has to start telling the right story in this country…the media is trying to divide this country,” stated the attorney. “You are bloodthirsty for ratings!”Van der Veen noted, Democrats committed massive wrongdoing during the sham impeachment and mainstream media is covering that up.

Peter Navaro, President Trump’s Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, and the National Defense Production Act policy coordinator, spoke out today on Sunday Morning Futures about former Attorney General William Barr. According to Peter Navaro, Bill Barr was fast-tracking Biden’s Executive Orders while he was slow-walking President Trump’s.

Bill Barr, President Trump’s Attorney General, also it turns out, happens to be...

This week, Seattle Public Schools (and other area schools) are teaching students in kindergarten to pick their gender, combat a so-called hetero-patriarchal society, and disrupt the nuclear family structure. The lessons are part of the Black Lives Matter at School movement. The radical, political agendas on gender identity and the family structure have some parents livid. These topics are not age appropriate. Hoping for an alternative viewpoint to BLM talking points? There are none presented to students and it’s by design. Indeed, SPS believes them to be bigoted. Seattle Public Schools will spend this week promoting Black Lives Matter lessons...

To expand on the awakening…. and based on a recent call for clarity… here is some brutally obvious points about DC that connect through the stop-Trump operation commonly known as “spygate”.Robert Mueller had two goals as special counsel. Goal #1 was to continue the fraudulent DOJ/FBI “Stop Trump” operation initiated by James Comey, Andrew McCabe and their crew technically named Crossfire Hurricane. Goal #2 was to bury the illegal action; to create the cover-up needed for everything that took place in the “Stop Trump” operation.It is the second goal that most people never reconciled; however, it is also that second...

Most Americans learn in school about flagship political excesses in U.S. history like Joe McCarthy’s 1950s inquisitions, the post-World War I Red Scare and the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Yet a recent Washington Post opinion piece purports to explain “what the 1798 Sedition Act got right.” The law banned a wide range of political speech and publication. It was passed by the ruling Federalists to suppress the rival Democratic-Republicans, whom they saw as seditious. The Post piece argues that though their solution was “flawed,” the Federalists had reason to worry about “unregulated freedom of the press.” We highlight...

And the left shrieks about the right inciting violence? On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show Thursday afternoon, MSNBC contributor and former FBI agent Clint Watts said: "If you took what President Trump said, and instead put it in Anwar Awlaki's mouth, we would be talking about a drone strike overseas."

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) during an online forum presented by the Economic Club of Chicago on Tuesday said Republicans must publicly announce President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election legitimately to achieve national unity. Romney said, “There is no question that the nation is divided now, and there is a lot of anger. To the people on my side who say an impeachment trial is going to inflame passions more. I say, first of all, have you gone out publicly and said that there was not widespread voter fraud and that Joe Biden is the legitimate president of the...

Rosenstein offered to wear wire on Trump, wanted fired Comey's advice on special counsel, newly declassified memos show. Newly declassified FBI memos provide startling new details that undercut the frenzied 2017 effort to investigate Donald Trump for obstruction, revealing the FBI knew Director James Comey's firing had been conceived by Justice Department leadership long before the president pulled the trigger during a key moment in the Russia probe. The memos written in May 2017 by Acting Director Andrew McCabe and a lieutenant also provide contemporaneous proof for some of the more jaw-dropping lore of the now-discredited Russia collusion scandal. For...

"It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency," the New York Democrat told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. "He can do many, many things under the emergency powers ... that he could do without legislation," the Senate leader said. "Trump used this emergency for a stupid wall, which wasn't an emergency. But if there ever was an emergency, climate is one," Schumer added. For the first time in nearly a decade, Democrats control the Senate, House and White House. But most legislation still has to pass the 60-vote hurdle. Schumer -- who hasn’t committed to leaving...

The radical Chicago Teacher’s Union is defying the school board that has ordered teachers to return to in-person instruction. But the teachers claim the schools aren’t safe to work in, and on Sunday, they voted overwhelmingly to continue to teach remotely.This isn’t sitting well with many parents — especially minority parents — in the 355,000-student school district. They aren’t stupid. They know their kids are falling farther and farther behind white suburban kids because there just isn’t any substitute for in-person learning.But teachers are resisting because the plans and procedures to keep teachers safe — the same plans and procedures...
