Federal authorities won't explain why three men who participated in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, have mysteriously disappeared from the FBI's Capitol Violence Most Wanted list. One unidentified man wore an earpiece during the riot and was filmed carrying what appeared to be a concealed handgun on his left hip. The man was pictured on the FBI's most wanted list for over five months until he was removed without explanation on the same day the New York Times reported an FBI informant was at the Capitol on Jan. 6. A second unidentified man was filmed beating police officers...

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) had some pointed comments for Democrats complaining about President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon almost 1,500 individuals convicted on charges related to the riot at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021. The president rankled more than a few feathers when he issued the pardons, with high-profile Democrats criticizing the move. Yet, as Thune pointed out, perhaps Democrats should be more upset with former President Joe Biden for paving the way for this move. While answering questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, Thune addressed the issue directly. He noted that he is not familiar with...

President Donald Trump offered a scathing rebuke of his predecessor's term while laying out the immediate actions he plans to take on the first day of his second term in office, saying in his inauguration remarks, "America's decline is over." Trump whiplashed between painting a dire picture of the country under the Biden administration while proclaiming himself as a "peacemaker and unifier" and that the "Golden Age" of the country is beginning. He also referenced his personal legal battles and historic political comeback to the White House during his nearly 30-minute remarks after taking the oath of office in the...

United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers prevent a man from bringing a machete and three knives past a screening checkpoint in the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). Just after 2:00 p.m., during security screening at the CVC’s north doors, USCP officers spotted a machete in a bag, which was going through the x-ray machine. Officers stopped the machine and searched the bag, which contained a machete and three knives. “Our officers know they cannot let their guard down for one second,” said U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger. “It is this constant focus and attention to detail that helps keep...

For the first time in history, a Nativity scene was displayed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Tuesday, marking what organizers say is a milestone for religious freedom and the First Amendment. The display, accompanied by prayer, Christmas carols and a reading of the Christmas story, was made possible by a landmark federal court decision that granted Rev. Patrick Mahoney and his supporters the right to peacefully celebrate the Christmas season on Capitol grounds. Held on the southeastern steps of the Capitol, the display was the culmination of a legal battle that began over a decade ago when Mahoney,...

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly set to address the House Republican Conference on Wednesday at the United States Capitol. Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman reported on the forthcoming meeting on Tuesday. “Preparations are underway for President-elect DONALD TRUMP to address the entire House Republican Conference when he comes to the Capitol tomorrow, according to multiple sources familiar with the planning,” he wrote in a post on X.

Jeremy Brown did nothing wrong. Jeremy Brown, a former Green Beret, is a political prisoner of the Biden-Harris regime. THREE YEARS ago this week, the US government arrested Jeremy Brown on two misdemeanor trespassing charges. The arrest was executed by the very same federal agents who were part of an attempt to recruit former Green Beret Jeremy Brown to spy on law-abiding citizens as a paid confidential informant in the weeks prior to January 6, 2021. MSG (Ret.) Jeremy Brown became a target of the FBI after he released the recording of the conversation he had with the FBI JTTF...

Personal information for some 3,191 congressional staffers has been leaked across the dark web, according to new research from internet security firm Proton being released Tuesday. The firm said the data available in the hidden online hubs includes passwords, IP addresses and information from social media platforms. “Many of these leaks likely occurred because staffers used their official email addresses to sign up for various services, including high-risk sites such as dating and adult websites, which were later compromised in data breaches,” Proton said in a statement. “This situation highlights a critical security lapse, where sensitive work-related emails became entangled...

Jeremy Brown is a Green Beret and former Republican candidate for Congress in Florida’s 14th Congressional District. Brown served in the United States Army from 1992 to 2012 and reached the rank of Special Forces Master Sergeant. Jeremy Brown served his country honorably. Jeremy Brown NEVER entered the US Capitol on January 6. His crime was, in reality, refusing to be an FBI informant, as TGP described in several previous posts. As The Gateway Pundit reported over two years ago now, Jeremy Brown refused to be an informant for Chris Wray’s FBI on January 6 — They wanted him to...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Also today: 3 Democrat judges on DC appellate court declared that the US Capitol is no longer the "People's House." This relates to appeal of J6 defendant convicted of petty offense of "parading" in the Capitol--a misdemeanor ex-chief judge Beryl Howell admitted in 2021 that federal courts in DC never handle:

New CCTV video was posted earlier on Tuesday that shows Kamala Harris exiting the US Capitol at 11:21 AM on January 6, 2021. The DOJ later lied and later filed indictments for a year against Trump supporters claiming Kamala Harris was still in the building later that day. The video was released today by Free State Will. Newly released Capitol CCTV shows Sen. Kamala Harris exiting the Capitol at 11:21 a.m. on January 6.

House Republicans released 5,000 hours more of security footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol on Friday, but Speaker Mike Johnson announced -- in a reversal -- that the House Administration Committee will no longer blur the faces of individuals in the footage.

This is sounds like gaslighting by the U.S. Mint while they look to make a tidy little profit too. Maybe the Mint ought to just call it the Lon Horiuchi federal marksmanship award?!? Here’s the description: Bronze miniature replica of the Congressional Gold Medal honoring the U.S. Capitol Police and those who protected the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. 1.5 inches in diameter. Every day, the United States Capitol Police protects the U.S. Capitol, Members of Congress, staff, journalists, and the visiting public. On January 6, 2021, a mob of insurrectionists forced its way into the U.S. Capitol building...

US Attorney Matthew Graves has suggested that those who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and did not go into the building can be prosecuted. Graves said, that protestors—if they were on restricted Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, and had not gone in the building—would have "committed a federal crime."

The absurdity of the liberal secular push claiming the Founders intended the First Amendment to bar Christian Christmas images from public places is most evident by the fact that these same Founders actually used the U.S. Capitol as a church week after week from the start of the United States of America. The liberal secularist argument would indicate the Founders messed up so badly in writing the Bill of Rights that they contradicted themselves in the very first words. The liberal secularist argument would mean that, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," contradicts "or prohibiting the...

Johnson is now moving forward with the approval process to hand over Capitol CCTV videos and images to the Blaze—which was STALLED under McCarthy—according to @TPC4USA

Hunter Biden's now 29-year-old daughter, Naomi Biden, allegedly 'vandalized' the United State's Capitol back in 2011 while she worked as a Senate Page. The then 17-year-old allegedly 'deformed' the Dome, prompting her father to apologize to the head of the page program at the time. Naomi was a student at Washington D.C.'s elite Sidwell Friends High School when she landed a gig as a page for Nevada Senator Harry Reid. At the time, Reid was the chamber's majority leader, and her grandfather, Joe Biden, was Barack Obama's Vice President. Naomi was given a tour of the prestigious Capitol Dome in...

Protesters from the climate crisis group Extinction Rebellion have brought disruption to Capitol Hill in Washington, superglueing themselves to doorways to block politicians and staff. Just after 6pm, six activists stood in doorways to a tunnel connecting the Cannon office building to the US Capitol in an attempt to prevent members of Congress attending an evening vote. A total of 17 activists were arrested and charged with crowding and obstructing, according to US Capitol police. Several were also charged with defacing public property. Demonstrators said their goal was to force a House and Senate concurrent resolution on the climate emergency...
