“Disappointed, frustrated and angry.” That is how New York City’s Public Schools chancellor David Banks described how he felt after the “remote-learning test” the bureaucrats decided they would impose on children in place of giving them a snow day off on Tuesday. “Disappointed, frustrated and angry,” is surely how millions of public school children felt too, when they were informed they would be “remote-learning,” instead of going to the park to build snowmen when they saw the forecast.

In his deposition last week, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris and his lawyer invoked attorney-client privilege at least 17 times over questions related to his payments and work for Hunter Biden. According to the transcript of the testimony reviewed by Just the News, Morris said that he began representing Biden about one week after the December 2019 California fundraiser for his father, Joe Biden, who became president in 2020. The details surrounding this meeting were previously reported by Just the News. Morris’ early representation of Hunter Biden allowed him to invoke the privilege frequently, to avoid answering questions about his first...

Legal analyst and attorney Jonathan Turley warned on Saturday of a critical "problem" within the complicated relationship between Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, and his lawyer Kevin Morris. Hunter Biden has been on Republicans' radar amid a House impeachment inquiry into President Biden. GOP members on the House Oversight Committee have claimed that the president has been involved in and benefited from his son's foreign business dealings. The White House has repeatedly denied that the president had any involvement in his son's dealings. President Biden, meanwhile, has called the inquiry a "baseless political stunt." On Thursday, House Oversight Committee...

Its been almost two years now since we were first contacted by January 6 police brutality victim Philip Anderson. Phillip Anderson was on the ground on the steps of the US Capitol with Rosanne Boyland when she died that day. Phillip was knocked unconscious at the time when he was gassed and pushed into a pile by Capitol Police. He was later rescued and revived by Jake Lang, a current January 6 political prisoner. Rosanne Boyland was not as “lucky.” She was killed that day by Capitol Police. Cara Castronuova at The Gateway Pundit later posted video of Capitol Police...

Use-of-force expert says DC Metro Police officer committed felony in attack on Rosanne Boyland A District of Columbia police officer used a large wooden stick to strike the body and head of protester Rosanne Boyland three times as she lay motionless on the ground on Jan. 6, 2021, according to bodycam footage from several officers obtained by The Epoch Times. Use-of-force expert Stanley Kephart, upon reviewing the previously unreleased footage, concluded that the three full-force blows by D.C. police officer Lila Morris constituted a felony assault with intent to cause great bodily harm. Kephart called Morris’s use of force “indefensible”...

I've been utterly perplexed by claims that Ashli Babbitt wasn't actually killed by police. What purpose is served by the police falsely creating a martyr? But I just saw footage of Roseanne Boyland's death and I'm much more disturbed. First off, she doesn't appear to have been trampled in any of the video footage. The footage starts with her already sprawled out on the ground, largely undisturbed, while the police officer whose body camera this footage is taken from, simply wields a baton over her. The crowd grows more and more angry, until as someone starts screaming, "she's dead!" it...

One of the five people killed in the DC riots was a pro-Trump protester who was trampled to death, according to her friend. Rosanne Boyland, of Kennesaw, Ga., died as the mob stormed the Capitol building, squaring off with police Wednesday. The friend she was with, Justin Winchell, recalled her final moments as protesters began falling over one another. “I put my arm underneath her and was pulling her out and then another guy fell on top of her, and another guy was just walking [on top of her],” Winchell told CBS46. “There were people stacked two, three deep …...

Recently released bodycam video from DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers provides more angles to the Jan. 6 beating of protester Victoria White in the Lower West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.The newest bodycam footage, from Officer Jeffrey Leslie, was captured directly behind MPD Cmdr. Jason Bagshaw, who landed most of the baton strikes and punches to White’s head and face during a four-minute span on Jan. 6, 2021.

A team is preparing to defend Hunter Biden against an expected onslaught of investigations by House Republicans. Allies of the president's son gathered for a private strategy session last September in California where they discussed going after Hunter's accusers and critics with defamation lawsuits, according the Washington Post. Hunter's attorney and friend Kevin Morris suggested at the meeting the suits be filed against Fox News, Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani, along with a probe into the repairman who handed over his laptop. Morris told the group he was crucial for Hunter's camp to be more aggressive and also 'outlined extensive...

Last night I caught Dick Morris' show on Newsmax. In his first segment, Morris stated that Democrat early voting numbers were way ahead of the GOP. Morris acknowledged that many GOP voters intend to wait until election day to vote because they don't trust early voting. Morris opined that this was a mistake because "stuff can happen", a kid can get sick, a severe toothache can result in an emergency visit to the dentist etc. Waiting until the last day to vote, therefore, may not go as intended. Meanwhile, the majority of Dem ballots have already been submitted. Morris stated...

A nurse in Kentucky has been arrested for allegedly unlawfully killing a 97-year-old World War 2 after she allegedly administered a sedative she said was 'something special' and disabled his oxygen monitoring machine. Eyvette Hunter, 52, was indicted Monday on murder charges for the death of James Morris, a patient she was treating while employed at Baptist Health in Lexington, Kentucky on April 30. A complaint filed with the Kentucky Board of Nursing, which stripped Hunter of her nursing license on Monday, reveals the events that led to Morris' death, which police called the 'direct result' of Hunter's actions. Hunter...

This week the Democratic campaign strategy for ’22 and ’24 became painfully apparent. They’ve tried everything they can to defeat Donald Trump. They framed him in the phony Russian collusion scandal. They impeached him twice. They manipulated the 2020 election, and they tried to persuade America that he was an insurrectionist trying to topple the government. All of that failed. Trump’s incredible wins in primary after primary show that his base has not abandoned him and that he has the solid support of the Republican Party. It is clear as I point out in my book, The Return, that he...

Asked if she would run for president in 2024, Hillary answered: “No, out of the question. First of all, I expect Biden to run. He certainly intends to run. It would be very disruptive to challenge that.” For anybody who speaks Clintonese, that’s close to a declaration of candidacy! Had she said, “No. no way” and shut up it would be different. But by tying her denial to Biden running again, knowing full well that he won’t, she is basically declaring her candidacy if and when Biden drops out. Hillary for President III? Here’s how it could unfold: Step One:...

An Indiana woman was charged with murder after she allegedly followed a man she said was her boyfriend to a bar using an Apple AirTag, accused him of cheating on her and proceeded to intentionally run him over with her car, court documents show.

The beating of an unconscious Trump supporter by a DC Metropolitan Police Department officer on January 6 was deemed to be “objectively reasonable” after an investigation by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, The Epoch Times has learned. The Internal Affairs investigation was opened in September 2021 based on a complaint filed by a Texas man who assembled video evidence of the officer striking an unconscious Rosanne Boyland with a steel baton and a large wooden stick at the entrance to the West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Ga., was pinned under...

Many conservatives these days are channeling Neville Chamberlain, the former UK Prime Minister whose failure to stand up to Hitler helped bring on World War II, often recycling the arguments for appeasement that he used to undermine British preparedness and hasten Nazi aggression. Particularly among conservative cable commentators, the legacy of Ronald Reagan is being trashed by a new kind of isolationism. Largely spearheaded by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson, the case for letting Putin help himself to Ukraine is growing, shattering the national security consensus that has dominated the right for seventy years. At the same time, the modern...

Former Clinton adviser and Newsmax TV Dick Morris said he sees former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) vying for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination. Morris said Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and current Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would also be among those competing for the party’s nod.
