President Biden and others claim that President Trump incited the Capitol Riot, falsely described as an “insurrection,” on January 6, 2021. This belief explains Colorado’s failed attempt to remove Trump’s name from the ballot because he is an “insurrectionist,” as well as a national YouGov poll that found that 54% of Americans approved of the Colorado action. It is now used as a justification for Biden to refuse to debate Trump. This claim remains a serious problem — not only for Trump, but for obtaining an accurate history of what happened on January 6. A rational evaluation of Trump’s words...

Lefty reps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib have called out the arrest of fellow ‘Squad’ member Ilhan Omar’s daughter during Columbia University’s disruptive anti-Israel protest, griping the crackdown was “appalling.” The two progressive members of Congress chimed in after scores of students were cuffed and hauled away from the Ivy League campus on Thursday after the NYPD were brought in to clear out the large tent encampment. “What is going on here @BarnardCollege @Columbia? How does a student with no disciplinary record suddenly get to a suspension less than 24 hours after a nonviolent protest?” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted alongside a...

Mobs of crazed, pro-Hamas lefties have been blocking traffic this week in various parts of the country this week, shutting down bridges and blocking access to air ports. As usual, very few of them are being arrested or prosecuted for this terrorism, but those who are held accountable are being bailed out. Where is the bail money coming from? Organizations funded by George Soros, naturally.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faced criticism on Tuesday over comments he made during a case focused on the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol. "In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case," lawyer and former CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Thomas made comments on Tuesday as the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case relating to the Capitol riot following the 2020 presidential election with...

Independent Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. described his recent interview with CNN host Erin Burnet when he famously explained how Joe Biden is more of a threat to democracy than Donald Trump. Via Vigilant Fox. Robert Kennedy, Jr.: “She asked me, “Don’t I think Trump is very dangerous for the republica?” And I said to her, I can make an argument that President Biden is even more dangerous to the republic. And she had this kind of astonished look — where her brain stopped working. And I said the reason for that, that I would say that, is because President...

Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General says she will not enforce an 1864 law that was upheld by the state Supreme Court on Tuesday banning nearly all abortions. “The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom. Make no mistake, by effectively striking down a law passed this century and replacing it with one from 160 years ago, the Court has risked the health and lives of Arizonans,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (pictured above) said in a statement. “The Arizona Court of Appeals decision, which the Supreme Court has struck down [on Tuesday], was...

James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group has released undercover footage of a Federal Reserve employee admitting to how Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell sabotaged President Trump and wants to go down in history as “someone who held the line against Trump.” Principal Economist Aurel Hizmo, a self-proclaimed liberal, told an undercover journalist more about Powell’s hatred for Trump, saying, “As soon as he became Chair, Trump wanted him to lower interest rates. Because when you lower interest rates, it stimulates the economy, and Trump was President. He wanted to stimulate the economy, but he wouldn’t do it. And he started raising...

The Biden administration's new State Department diversity chief previously called America a "failed historic model" and demanded the destruction of tradition "at every juncture" on the altar of antiracism. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced last week the appointment of Zakiya Carr Johnson as their chief diversity and inclusion officer. Blinken touted Carr Johnson for bringing "expertise and a fresh perspective on how we build a workforce that reflects America." Carr Johnson previously served as then-President Barack Obama's senior adviser and director of the first Race, Ethnicity and Social Inclusion Unit at the State Department.

A group of anti-Israel protesters calling for Congress to support a ceasefire and end military aid to Israel shut down the Senate cafeteria. The group of protesters, Christians for a Free Palestine, was captured on video in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and could be heard chanting, “We are Christians for Free Palestine,” “We are here to pray for the food of Gaza,” and “Our Scriptures say, ‘Woe to you! To eat while others go hungry,’ and ‘Woe to you! For there is famine in Gaza.' “Congress and their staff will not eat today,” the protesters can be heard saying...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. decided to issue a statement on the January 6 prosecutions saying "there is little evidence of a true insurrection. The protesters carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and Trump himself urged them to protest peacefully." "Like many reasonable Americans, I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives have motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the J6 defendants, their long sentences, and their harsh treatment. This demonstrates a disturbing pattern of the weaponization of government agencies — the DoJ, the IRS, the SEC, the...

The DOJ has filed opposition to the defendant’s motion, saying it has ‘no obligation to investigate’ who the men in the videos are. . Recently released Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol Police security video shows a suspected FBI special agent clapping and cheering as crowds surged up steps to the Columbus Doors and another meeting with an FBI tactical team just before it entered the Capitol after the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt.

The Biden administration’s strategy of politicizing the justice system to knock former President Donald Trump out of the 2024 presidential race has repeatedly hit roadblocks, so an MSNBC panel on Tuesday called on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to wage its own lawfare campaign against Trump for having a successful trading day.Trump’s “Truth Social” app went public on March 25, with the company’s valuation reaching $13 billion, according to the Financial Times.

Liz Cheney spearheads the assault on Donald Trump via the J6 committee, alleging his intent to incite a revolution on January 6th. However, emerging revelations expose her complicity in questionable dealings, including tampering with Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony.

I was present when Donald Trump authorized 10,000 National Guard troops days before Jan. 6 in the Oval Office. My testimony never changed. The greatest con job ever to happen in American politics is the false Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative. The singular mission of this narrative is to stop Donald Trump from ever setting foot in the Oval Office again. A key pillar of the left’s propaganda about insurrection is to distort the truth surrounding whether Trump authorized, prior to Jan. 6, the deployment of National Guard troops to keep order on that day. The main architect of this disinformation...

Tennessee State Senator Charlane Oliver (D-Nashville) warned state Republicans on Thursday moments after the Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill prohibiting local governments from inhibiting law enforcement that her Democrat constituents may respond with riots. @FoxNashville posted footage of the Thursday press conference at which Oliver and other Democrat legislators held at the Capitol in which they announced their disapproval of the bill. The legislation easily passed in the State Senate on Thursday in a partisan vote 26 to 6. The previous week, the Tennessee House passed the bill in a partisan 68 to 24 vote. “So yeah, we’re gonna...

Incensed by the US Supreme Court's unanimous decision to disallow Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold's action to bar Trump from being on her state's primary ballot, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md) has revived a bill that would grant the Department of Justice (DOJ) the power to declare a person guilty of insurrection and disqualify them from appearing on the ballot. "Everyone knows Trump committed insurrection," Raskin said. "We all saw him on TV urging his followers to storm the Capitol and stop Congress from counting the electoral votes that made Joe Biden the nation's lawful president. The Court overlooked this...
