WASHINGTON — At least four members of the far-right Proud Boys organization were found guilty Thursday of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean and Zachary Rehl each faced nine counts, and were found guilty on the rare charge of seditious conspiracy under a Civil War-era statute. They were also found guilty of conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. The jury has only reached a partial verdict, U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly said Thursday, and the verdicts on other charges are still being read.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that American need to make “serious change” in our gun laws because “we have some of the highest levels of gun violence.” Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “I want to start on this issue. Our viewers remember, of course, that your wife, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was critically wounded in a shooting. You’ve made gun safety a primary issue. Your colleague said to me recently that someone is dying within the soul of this nation. Do you think America is numb to gun violence?”

Speaker McCarthy and the GOP majority in the US House made a number of promises as this session of Congress began. Will this Congress act or will they pull a Lindsey Graham? In 2018 Senator Lindsey Graham promised to get to the bottom of the Mueller exam. The DOJ and FBI committed crimes in attempting a coup of the Trump Administration. Graham promised to get to who was behind this unconstitutional and criminal effort. But he lied. He never had any intention of digging into Obamagate and all the crimes that took place before the 2016 election and into the...

The most interesting and perhaps most important single political campaign this year is occurring right now over the seventh and decisive seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Judge Protasiewicz has indicated that she will find a right to abortion in the state constitution if such a case arrived at the court. Justice Kelly has insisted, correctly, that a judge takes cases as they come and has refused to take a position.

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that nobody is above the law when asked about former President Donald Trump possibly being charged with a crime. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s start with the latest on Trump. Obviously, arresting a former president would be unprecedented in the history of the United States. We do not know what exactly charges could be filed yet. What we do know includes the idea that falsifying business records might be one of the charges. That’s a misdemeanor in New York unless prosecutors use what a lot of experts say...

Below is my column in the New York Post on the suggested censorship of bank critics by Sen. Mark Kelly (D., Ariz.). It was only the latest example of how censorship has become a reflexive response of many Democrats to opposing views. It is now increasingly common for certain views to be declared as simply too dangerous to be tolerated or allowed on social media, including (it seems) questioning the solvency of banks. Here is the column: Concerned about your money after recent bank failures? You might want to keep those thoughts to yourself. While some rushed to get their...

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., asked during a meeting about the bailout of Silicon Valley Bank whether social media could be censored to prevent misinformation going out that could lead to a bank run, according to reports. Michael Shellenberger, an independent journalist who reports on the Twitter files and has contributed to Fox News reported that Kelly asked the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit and Insurance Corp (FDIC) about censorship measures during the meeting on Sunday. Republican House members on the call confirmed with Shellenberger’s publication, Public on Substack, that a Democratic senator asked about censoring social media companies,...

Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly - who is charged with murdering a Mexican migrant by shooting him dead on his land last month - was released from custody Thursday on a $1million surety bond secured by his ranch. Family members for Kelly, 73, have been able to raise over $350,000 on GiveSendGo, a Christian alternative to GoFundMe after the mainstream crowdfunder took pages Kelly's pages down. Kelly was in custody on a single murder charge for shooting Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, on January 30. He told police and border patrol agents that he fired warning shots when he saw Cuen-Butimea and at...

The migrant shot dead by an Arizona rancher on his land last month was likely a cartel drug smuggler or scout, according to a former Border Patrol chief, who says the area is known for 'violence'. George Alan Kelly, 73, was arrested on charges of first degree murder for shooting Gabriel Cuen-Butimea on January 30 at his home. That charge has now been downgraded to a second degree murder charge. He denies the murder, insisting he only ever fired warning shots when he saw what he perceived to be a gang of cartel smugglers on his land. Former Border Patrol...

Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, who is facing murder and other charges in the shooting of a Mexican national on his border property, has been released from custody, Fox News Digital confirmed Thursday. Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Gerardo Castillo confirmed that 73-year-old Kelly posted bond Wednesday after appearing in court.

Back when Fox just didn't care. If it was well written and funny, we got to see it.

Illinois Cook County prosecutors have dropped state sex-crime charges against singer Robert Sylvester Kelly, known as R. Kelly. The charges that have been dropped are aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse counts involving four accusers, three of them minors. On Monday, County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said that they are being dropped in part because of the prison sentences he is already facing for his federal convictions. Kelly had been charged in federal courts in New York and Chicago after Foxx’s office filed charges in 2019.

by Becca London | RNNElon Musk triggered a whole lot of folks on the left Sunday when he dared to tweet against their beloved Anthony Fauci – while also making fun of the ridiculous “pronouns” fad: We already covered how the Krispy Kreme Colonel Alexander Vindman lost his donuts over it. Well now Scott Kelly - liberal astronaut and identical twin brother of Democrat Senator Mark Kelly (AZ) has shown his displeasure as well, sending this tweet Musk's way, both defending Lord Fauci and basically accusing Elon of being a bigot as well: After all, people who have "preferred pronouns"...

A 12-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with murder in a hit-and-run car crash that killed an 82-year-old woman last month, Dallas police said Wednesday. Police said the boy was behind the wheel of a grey sedan that struck Florence Kelly as she was driving in north Dallas on Nov. 7. Police did not identify the child by name. He is charged as a juvenile, and it was not immediately clear whether he has a lawyer who could speak for him. Kelly's car was struck by the speeding Toyota Avalon around 11 a.m. as she was pulling into an...

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly says she was unimpressed with former President Trump’s speech announcing he’s running for president again in 2024. “He kind of did disappoint a little last night, not to be too hard on him,” Kelly said Wednesday on her podcast. “I know he was trying to do presidential and he was trying to not screw anything up for Herschel Walker, but he did seem a little low energy. I was slightly bored.” Kelly took it a step further, saying, “I’m not going to lie, I did fall asleep before the end of the hour.” “Now, I’m getting...

Arizona Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters refused to concede his race against Democrat incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly Saturday, hours after news outlets called the election in Kelly’s favor — and vowed to fight on until “every legal vote is counted.” “For my people who knocked doors in 115-degree heat, and for the million+ Arizonans who put their faith in me, we are going to make sure that every legal vote is counted,” Masters wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “If, at the end, Senator Kelly has more of them than I do, then I will congratulate him on a...

The Fox News Decision Desk can project that Democratic Senator Mark Kelly has won re-election in Arizona. He defeats Republican challenger Blake Masters. Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, was seeking a full term as Senator of Arizona in the 2022 race, after winning the 2020 race against Martha McSally, the Republican who was serving the rest of John McCain's term after he passed away while in office. Throughout the election cycle, the race was under the national spotlight, being one of the best pickup opportunities for Senate Republicans this year.

Incumbent Kansas Democrat Gov. Laura Kelly has secured a second term in an extremely close election against Republican challenger state Attorney General Derek Schmidt, NBC News projects. Both NBC News and CNN called the race on Wednesday morning after waiting for remaining vote counts to trickle in. By 10:30 a.m. ET, Kelly was ahead of Schmidt by roughly 15,000 votes, 49.2 percent to 47.6 percent. Independent candidate Dennis Pyle syphoned off 2 percent of the votes.

Just a month after national Republicans appeared to give up on Arizona Republican Blake Masters, the Trump-backed Senate candidate has staged a comeback — and Arizona is in play. National and Arizona Democratic operatives are privately fretting that incumbent Sen. Mark Kelly is endangered, noting a shift by previously undecided voters toward the GOP, aided by a patchwork of new Republican spending to bolster Masters. Recent polling has shown Kelly’s lead shrinking to a few points, much tighter than surveys showed throughout August and September. “There’s a very narrow path to victory for Democrats in Arizona,” said Roy Herrera, a...

Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has a four-point lead over Democrat Katie Hobbs, meanwhile, Republican Blake Masters is trailing closely behind Sen.
