Justice Department Punishes J6 Defendants for Obstruction but Not Democrats Why didn’t the Department of Justice hold the 2016 Democratic congressional obstructionists to the same standard as those now being charged with obstructing an official proceeding on January 6? It has been said that if not for the Left’s double standards, they would have no standards at all. That rings true for a whole host of reasons. How does one begin to describe the depth and breadth of Democratic Party hypocrisy? From ignoring their own mask mandates as they hobnob with celebrities and hopping on private jets as they lecture...

Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), who challenged the report by the Capitol that said she failed to complete a security screening before entering the House building.

That is outrageous. And we're not talking about allegations. We're talking about it's been confirmed that that many more than 10,000

Except . . . someone should have told Scarborough not to laugh, smirk, and smile as he introduced the segment, saying, "Louie, Loui-e-e-e, Louie."Get the rest of the story and view...
