ASHINGTON — The Biden administration says it is in critical need of more money to bring the Jan. 6 rioters to justice. But it’s not clear Congress will grant that request in a major funding bill planned for December. And if it fails to do so before the new year, a potential Republican-led House could imperil the resources they need.

Thirty-four US political prisoners of the Biden regime penned a very sad letter this week requesting a transfer to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba facility where they would receive meals, sunlight, freedom of religion, exercise, entertainment, and be treated like human beings. These thirty-four January 6 political prisoners have been held for over a year and a half without trial for misdemeanors and trumped-up felony charges. This group of men have been isolated, beaten viciously, abused, threatened, tormented, and belittled by the guards based on their political and religious beliefs. The men and women have been without medical assistance, medications, exercise, and...

For carrying a “large wooden stick” on January 6 -- and for things the ex-officer said and believed.. Former police officer Thomas Robertson, who according to CBS News, “stormed the U.S. Capitol” on January 6, 2021, will spend more than seven years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Robertson, 49, was charged with interfering with police officers and “entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon, a large wooden stick.” The seven-year sentence, handed down last Thursday, matches the longest prison term among the Jan. 6 cases to date. Its severity was not entirely the result of...

Trump still holds sway over a sizeable section of the Republican Party and has the support of millions of American voters – a fact that drives Democrats to tear him down. Aside from the austere posturing and holier-than-thou reasons, what is motivating the January 6 hearings? Democrats' desperation to render Trump powerless. Democrats attempted impeachment based on January 6, which failed. The J6 hearings are now a second chance. They're hoping Merrick Garland will come to their aid if that doesn't work. You would wonder, why is that? Our latest Golden/TIPP Poll has the answer. Democrats know that Trump is...

Lawyers acting for constitutional law professor John Eastman have picked apart the raison d’etre for the January 6th Congressional committee, as well pointing out the potential for abuse of power and breaches of House rules. Eastman – a target of the commission – is held up as guilty of insurrection by the political left for having the constitutional opinion that Vice President Mike Pence had no obligation to count ballots for states where political and legal proceedings were underway regarding election fraud. The fisking of the committee will irk the already enfeebled group of Democrats, fresh off their latest round...

Even in this toxic political atmosphere, will American juries consent to criminalize previously lawful political protest in the nation’s capital? More than eight months after the worst attack on Washington since the Civil War, as Joe Biden describes it, not a single American has been charged with sedition or treason related to the alleged “insurrection” on January 6, 2021. (SNIP) But the Justice Department’s premier felony charge—obstruction of an official proceeding—is on shaky legal ground, to say the least. It’s a substitute for the sedition cases they cannot prove in court. Prosecutors have slapped the felony count, which is punishable...

While the “unindicted conspirators” may not be FBI agents, it’s still possible the FBI was involved -- and Biden’s still going to crack down on all of us. On Tuesday, Revolver and Tucker Carlson made a stunning claim: They argued that the FBI’s charging papers against the people they arrested for entering the Capitol on January 6 (almost all of whom are still in solitary confinement) reveal that the FBI may well have been the ones encouraging people to engage in the activity the Democrats now claim was an “insurrection.” Having an “insurrection” now justifies AG Merrick Garland's forming an...

VIDEOBrian Craig, co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, speculated today that the corrupt Department Of "Justice" might be delaying the trials of the Capitol Hill "insurrectionists" until just before the 2022 midterm elections. That is why I am urging everybody to bookmark this video for reference in the Autumn of 2022 to highlight just how corrupt the DOJ and FBI have become. We already have ample examples of very selective, politically motivated law enforcement such as the raid last week on a home in Alaska in which the FBI knocked down the door of a home where they merely...

Michael Sherwin, the federal prosecutor who until recently was leading the criminal investigation into the Capitol riots, told CBS' "60 Minutes" Sunday that evidence indicates sedition charges will be laid against some suspects.Why it matters: Few people have faced this Civil War-era charge, which makes it a crime to conspire or overthrow the government. But Sherwin told CBS' Scott Pelley "the evidence is trending towards that" charge "and probably meets those elements." "I believe the facts do support those charges. And I think that, as we go forward, more facts will support that," he added.Of note: During his interview, Pelley...

October 2, 2019 The Honorable Eliot L. Engel, Chairman Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman: I am writing to strongly object to the abdication of the Foreign Affairs Committee's oversight jurisdiction to the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. It will damage the credibility of our committee and minimize our Members' expertise in the exercise of that jurisdiction. On September 27, 2019, you and two other chairmen sent a letter to the Secretary of State claiming to "schedule" without subpoena the depositions of five State Department officials to "be conducted jointly by the Committee...

Shortened title. Full title: ANOTHER MUELLER GAFFE: Lawyers Defending Russian Firm Tell Court Named Employees DON’T WORK FOR THEM – Mueller MADE IT UP What a Sideshow — The Mueller Case Is Falling Apart Lawyers defending the Russian company Concord Management indicted by the corrupt Mueller team again called out Mueller’s liberal hacks and labeled their allegations as “made up” nonsense. As reported on Wednesday, Concord Management’s lawyers revealed that Mueller’s team of ignored over 70 discovery requests they had made for information before the case. In response Mueller’s team offered to give Concord Management’s lawyers a massive amount of...

The Yalta Conference wrapped up. American President Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Churchill and Soviet leader Stalin came to agreement on several important issues regarding the outcome of the War. The leaders agreed that the unconditional surrender of German would be the way the war ended. Germany and Berlin would be divided into four occupation zones after the war ended. There would be international trials of German war criminals. In addition the Soviets agreed to declare war on Japan within three months after the war in Europe ended. They would join the UN. The Soviets would also retain possession of that...

August 9, 2015 George Will: “Trump Supporters Need To Come Into The Republican Party On Our Terms, Not Theirs”… by sundance The Pontificating Arrogance of The GOPeIn a very clear and deliberate delivery of how the GOPe establishment view those who do not want to accept Jeb Bush in the White House, the republican party elitist and BFF of Charles Krauthammer, George Will, outlines the acceptable parameters for Donald Trump supporters -those unwashed, unintelligent masses- to be good little Republicans.Money quote (ie. Sunlight upon how the GOPe feel about you) at 04:33: VIDEO These are voters the Republicans want, the...

Donald Trump, Counterfeit Republican By GEORGE WILL August 12, 2015 In every town large enough to have two traffic lights there is a bar at the back of which sits the local Donald Trump, nursing his fifth beer and innumerable delusions. Because the actual Donald Trump is wealthy, he can turn himself into an unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate. It is his right to use his riches as he pleases. His squalid performance and its coarsening of civic life are costs of freedom that an open society must be prepared to pay. When, however, Trump decided that his next...

Who made George Will the spokesman for the GOP? HeÂ’s defining himself in this article as the consummate judge of who and who isnÂ’t a conservative or a Republican. This is one of the most dishonest political hits I have ever read. Never mind that WillÂ’s wife works for Scott Walker, who I already had issues with because of the people he has surrounding himÂ… IÂ’m sure that has nothing to do with this at all (thatÂ’s sarcasm by the way). I support and want Ted Cruz elected, but I take great umbrage at the way Trump is being treated....

August 14, 2015Hey George Will, Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner? The “Vulgarians”…. By sundance Donald Trump is a counterfeit Republican and “an affront to anyone devoted to the project William F. Buckley began” ~ George Will (Excerpt from Jeffrey Lord) Back in April of this year, two months before Trump announced his candidacy, Will was on the panel of Bret Baier’s Special Report at Fox and said this when the panelists were asked how much money they would place on various candidates in Baier’s “candidate casino.” When he got to Trump he said: ..”One dollar on Donald Trump in the...

In a compelling column, George Will – who knows a thing or two about conservatism – makes the conservative case against Donald Trump. Mr. Will refers to Trump as an “unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate” who is coarsening our civic life. He labels Trump “a counterfeit Republican and no conservative.” And he argues that Trump is an affront to anyone devoted to the legacy of William F. Buckley, Jr., the founder of National Review and a giant in American conservatism. Just as Buckley excommunicated the John Birch Society from the conservative movement in the 1960s, so should conservatives today...

“Trumpites” are only “lightly attached to the political process”George Will has written a thought-provoking piece over at WaPo in which he argues that the GOP should purge itself of Trump and Trump’s supporters. Will explains: "When, however, Trump decided that his next acquisition would be not another casino but the Republican presidential nomination, he tactically and quickly underwent many conversions of convenience (concerning abortion, health care, funding Democrats, etc.). His makeover demonstrates that he is a counterfeit Republican and no conservative. He is an affront to anyone devoted to the project William F. Buckley began six decades ago with the...

On “Fox News Sunday,” conservative columnist George Will said voters will eventually turn on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump when they ask themselves “Do we really want to give nuclear weapons to Donald Trump?” Will said, “What’s going on is that those deemed least qualified to be president, are most qualified to do what the voters want done today, 160 days before the first votes are cast in Iowa, which is send a message. That was George Wallace’s engaging theme in 1968. He said, ‘Send them a message!’ The antecedent of the pronoun ‘them’ was anything you wanted it to...
