Dick Cheney, America’s most powerful modern vice president and chief architect of the “war on terror,” who helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 84. This is a developing story and will be updated.

We’ve seen this before, just on a smaller scale. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is following the infamous playbook of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who managed to convict an innocent man while the guilty one walked free — and Fitzgerald knew it. They both went after and indicted people who either did not commit any crimes or were indicted for things unrelated to the purposes for which they were appointed. Both were in hotly political environments with supportive media. Both were open-ended investigations. And, it seems, both were hungry for convictions for the sake of convictions — not truth or justice....

How can this be? Liz Cheney’s husband is a partner at Latham & Watkins. This firm has represented companies connected to China’s military. This same firm yesterday was identified as having clients connected to the spying on the Trump White House. Liz Cheney appears to be the real leader of the effort to punish President Trump and those who supported him on Jan 6 in protest of the stolen 2020 Election. Now we find out her husband is a partner at a law firm whose clients are companies connected to the China military and the same firm with connections to...

Ten days before the 2008 presidential election, as blame was beginning to be laid out for John McCain’s “likely defeat,” a top communications adviser to the campaign wrote a detailed strategy memo focused on how to preserve the reputation of another key adviser, Steve Schmidt, POLITICO has learned. *** The protective maneuver sheds more light on the final days of the 2008 campaign, a period of low morale marked by tensions between the Palin and McCain camps and the expectation of defeat. *** “Thankfully, and rightfully so, some members of the political punditry are already coming his defense (Rove, McKinnon,...

The official report of the House Select Committee, which runs to more than 800 pages, is too deeply biased to give much help. This was foreordained given the hyper-partisan way the Select Committee was formed. Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected then-House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s two Republican appointments to the committee—Representatives Jim Jordan and Jim Banks—and instead appointed two virulently anti-Trump Republicans, Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.More important than the report’s factual errors are the serious questions never investigated by the Select Committee. Why did Democrat congressional leaders turn down repeated offers of National Guard troops to protect the...

Left-wing actor John Leguizamo, star of John Wick and Disney’s Encanto, recorded a series of videos for his fans and followers of himself reading a political manifesto called Project 2029, he says was written by Liz Cheney, as a path forward for democrats after their defeat last November. “This is from Liz Cheney. She had to do it, because, well, dear Democratic Party: I need more form you. You keep sending emails, begging for $15, while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time,” Leguizamo began in a video posted to the leftist echo chamber Bluesky on Thursday. Liz Cheney...

Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, and revoked clearances and access to classified information for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Fiona Hill, and Alexander Vindman.

Former GOP Congresswoman Liz Cheney faced backlash from conservatives on social media after defending her work with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The exchange drew the attention of DOGE leader Elon Musk, who escalated critiques of Cheney’s past role at USAID. Cheney’s held positions within embassies in Poland, Hungary, Russia, and Ukraine. The controversy intensified as Musk’s comments coincided with calls from former President Donald Trump to close USAID, citing concerns of corruption. Responding to the criticism, Cheney wrote, “[Expletive] right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend...

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett has urged President Donald Trump not to let the money being saved by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to be spent by “war pimps at the Pentagon.” Rep. Burchett shared his concerns with the president during a recent meeting.“I said, Mr. President, my biggest fear is this, you’re making all these great cuts with DOGE, and every dollar is going to be absorbed by the war pimps at the Pentagon and the war pimps in Congress,” the congressman told Breitbart News. Burchett continued, “And I said, your problem is not going to come from the...

The effort to undermine President Trump continues in the US Senate .. @SenTomCotton is working behind the scenes to stop Trump’s pick, Elbridge Colby, from getting confirmed at DOD Colby is one of the most important pieces to stop the Bush/Cheney cabal at DOD Why is Tom Cotton doing this? .... Why is Tom Cotton blocking Colby? Simple, he’s still carrying water for the Bush/Cheney war machine. Colby wants America First defense policies, not endless wars, not neocon nation-building. Cotton siding against him just exposes where his real loyalties lie. ... Tom was prominently mentioned as presidential material 4-5 years...

...than Donald Trump.”

Former Rep. Liz Cheney emphatically acknowledged her past work for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) when responding to a tweet by Elon Musk. Musk, who is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort to slash government waste and fraud, has the agency in his crosshairs. "Interesting," Musk wrote in response to a post in which Mike Benz, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Freedom Online, said Cheney had been "spawned out of USAID." Benz shared a screenshot from an article that said Cheney had worked at the agency. "Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what...

A new report has revealed that key Republican lawmakers chose not to subpoena former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson during their investigation into the events of January 6, 2021, allegedly to avoid the exposure of compromising personal messages. Aides to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) reportedly discouraged efforts to call Hutchinson to testify, citing concerns that sexually explicit messages from certain lawmakers to Hutchinson could become public. The revelation comes as Johnson, who recently revived the GOP-led inquiry into the Capitol events, faces scrutiny over the direction and intent of the investigation. Johnson’s office also actively advised Rep. Barry Loudermilk...

'Multiple colleagues had raised concerns with the speaker’s office about the potential for public disclosure of ‘sexual texts from members who were trying to engage in sexual favors’ with Hutchinson...' Last month, Breitbart News reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson blocked GOP investigators from subpoenaing Cassidy Hutchinson, who was the Democrat-controlled January 6th Commission’s “star witness” in the wake of Jan. 6, 2021. At the time, it wasn’t clear why Johnson was protecting Hutchinson, who was caught changing her testimony during the course of the Jan. 6 Committee hearings. On Thursday, the Washington Post revealed what may have motivated Johnson....

Former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who were both on the House committee investigating the attack on Jan. 6, release a statement following pardons from Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency. “We have been pardoned not for breaking the law but for upholding it,” the statement says.

resident Biden issued a string of 11th-hour pardons Monday to everyone from Dr. Anthony Fauci to members of the House panel that probed the Jan. 6 riots — a move blasted as “disgraceful’’ by President Trump. “Many are guilty of MAJOR CRIMES!” Trump fumed to NBC News’ Kristen Welker. Biden issued the pardons on his way out of the White House, just hours before Trump was due to be sworn in as the 47th commander-in-chief. Some of the beneficiaries of Biden’s wide-ranging pardons included the truth-challenged former chief medical adviser Fauci, embattled retired General Mark Milley and members of the...

Biden’s handlers did exactly what many expected—they issued blanket pardons for some of the swamp’s most corrupt and evil creatures, all under the guise of protection from revenge. But there’s an interesting twist to these desperate Deep State pardons that has a lot of people talking. ... Deep State is playing their usual game, pretending to protect innocent so-called “democracy warriors” from Trump’s supposed political revenge. But let’s call it what it really is: the powerful protecting their dutiful little flunkies. ... Biden issues 11th hour pardons of globalist crime syndicate members! The DEEP STATE is running scared! ... These...

President Joe Biden might give Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci preemptive pardons, according to an interview the president gave to USA Today’s Susan Page. Receiving a preemptive pardon would indicate an admission of guilt, although some Democrats claim a preemptive pardon would only be intended to block President-elect Donald Trump from cleaning up Washington. In the interview, Biden said preemptive pardons are on the table for his allies, including Cheney and Fauci, Page reported Wednesday: Biden said he is considering preemptive pardons for public figures such as former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney and former senior health official Dr. Anthony Fauci...

A thin-skinned Liz Cheney could not help herself in firing back at President Trump on Friday over his savage remarks regarding the medal she received from Joe Biden and ended up making a huge error in the process. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden awarded the second-highest civilian medal to 20 individuals on Thursday. These included the leaders of the January 6th select committee, Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), along with two of his longtime friends/cronies, former Senators Ted Kaufman (D-DE) and Chris Dodd (D-CT). The award, known as the Presidential Citizens Medal, is generally given to Americans...
