House Republicans voted to allow Rep. Liz Cheney to keep her leadership role within the chamber after she voted to impeach former President Donald Trump last month.
GOP lawmakers voted 145-61 in favor of keeping Cheney as House Republican Conference Chair -- the third highest-ranking party position in the chamber -- in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday night, NBC News reported. Cheney did not apologize for her decision to join nine other Republican members of the House in voting to impeach Trump on charges that he incited an insurrection when he delivered a speech to his supporters before they stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6.

It didn’t take long for the incoming Biden administration to become embroiled in scandal, though it remains to be seen whether or not they will amount to much given how the ‘mainstream’ media serves as the Democrats’ biggest enablers.The latest involves White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who should have been less willing to try and impress her left-wing friends on social media during President Donald Trump’s administration and more careful about what she actually wrote.Screenshots of old tweets unearthed and posted online by One America News’ Jack Prosobiec show that Psaki doesn’t care much for roughly half the country because — wait for it — they’re supporters
When Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., spoke against the constitutionality of the Democrats’ impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump, he reminded his colleagues that Democrat elected officials had recently told their followers to attack Republicans. If Trump was to be impeached for asking followers to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard by members of Congress on Jan. 6, what to do with Democrats’ more incendiary rhetoric and actions, he wondered.(Snip)“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer threatened

During January Riot replies
The hashtag “#AlexandriaOcasioSmollett” became a top trend on Twitter Wednesday as users connected the dots to find that the New York congresswoman wasn’t in the Capitol building during her “near-death experience.”(Snip)Since the attack, the 31-year-old Democrat has only escalated the hysteria surrounding her own safety, speaking directly to her millions of followers on Instagram and publishing inflammatory posts on Twitter, contradicting herself along the way. The week after the attack, AOC claimed her Republican colleagues would help the criminal rioters find and hurt her as the mob stormed the Capitol complex.
A Catholic priest from Nebraska who boasted about performing an 'exorcism' at the US Capitol during the January 6 MAGA riots is facing calls to be defrocked.
Video showed the Rev David Fulton speaking to a filmmaker, Eddie Becker, about how he performed the exorcism on a demon named 'Baphomet' who he said is 'dissolving the country' as he stood in a sea of President Donald Trump's supporters.
Fulton, who was wearing a clerical collar, identifies himself as a 'Roman Catholic' from Nebraska and holds up a book entitled: 'Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers in Latin and in English'.
'Got this going,' he says, pointing to the book.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is facing criticism over initial claims she made about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, with many noting that she wasn't even in the Capitol when they occurred.
The controversy erupted after the New York congresswoman posted a video in which she described a confrontation with Capitol police at her office, which is located on the larger Capitol complex. But it is not in the Capitol itself — which includes the dome, the House, and the Senate — and was where many rioters stormed in and were seen breaking windows.
Her office is located in the Cannon building, which is accessible through underground tunnels connected to the Capitol
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has ordered a staggered pause of operations across the entire US military so commanders can have "needed discussions" with service members about the issue of extremism over the next 60 days, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby announced on Wednesday.Austin hopes the pause, known as a stand down, will accomplish two things -- he wants leaders of each branch to be able to communicate their expectations of how their troops should behave, and leaders to "gain insight" from members on the "scope of the problem from their view," Kirby said. The issue of extremism in the military has been at the forefront since the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. Correction*
Everything old is new again. The corruptocracy of the Obama administration is back with a vengeance in the White House. Once more, the "S" in "DHS" stands not for security — but for sleaze. Our nation is back for sale to the highest foreign bidders and their "America last" cronies.Last Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee pushed through the nomination of Alejandro "Ali" Mayorkas to head the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Six Senate Republicans sided with Democrats in breaking a GOP filibuster: Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Rob Portman of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, and Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) challenged President Joe Biden’s Education Secretary nominee on his statement it is “appropriate” to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports by asking, “What planet are you from?”During a confirmation hearing Wednesday of the Senate committee that oversees education, the Kentucky senator asked Miguel Cardona if he thinks it is “fair” to allow boys claiming to be transgender to participate in girls’ sports, and about how it affects girls competing in these athletic events.“I think it is appropriate,” Cardona replied. “It is the legal responsibility of schools to provide opportunities for students to participate in activities and this includes

extremists, experts tell NYT replies
Academics and technology experts want President Biden to appoint a “reality czar” and a “truth commission” to mitigate the threat of domestic extremists and the spread of conspiracy theories. A piece by The New York Times titled “How the Biden Administration Can Help Solve Our Reality Crisis” includes experts from Harvard University, Stanford, the University of Maryland, and other organizations with their take on how best to handle “hoaxes, lies and collective delusions.” Technology columnist Kevin Roose’s piece specifically focuses on QAnon group chats, claims of widespread election fraud leading to Mr. Biden’s election, and news disseminated from staunchly conservative media outlets.
This bill turned out to be more mountain than molehill. The handmade “mountain” prop Gov. Andrew Cuomo trotted out at summer press briefings to illustrate the state’s COVID-19 battle cost the state $415.34—more than twice the amount officials previously said, a report said Wednesday. Cuomo used the glorified school project at a handful of briefings starting in late June, presenting it as a metaphor for New York’s work against the pandemic.(Snip) Dani Lever, a spokeswoman for Cuomo at the time, told USA Today that the project cost about $185 reimbursed by Cuomo’s campaign war chest, was “made in-house,” and used supplies
President Joe Biden said he's open to refining key elements of his nearly $2 trillion coronavirus package during a call with House Democrats on Wednesday, but stressed the urgency of delivering the massive relief bill quickly to the pandemic-stricken nation.
Biden told the House Democratic Caucus that he was willing to compromise on who will be eligible for the next round stimulus checks — but remained firm on the size of the $1,400 check, according to multiple sources on the call.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday ripped into his Democratic colleagues for refusing to consider a compromise regarding stripping GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments.
“I understand that Marjorie’s comments have caused deep wounds to many and as a result, I offered Majority Leader Hoyer a path to lower the temperature and address these concerns,” McCarthy said in a statement.
“Instead of coming together to do that, the Democrats are choosing to raise the temperature by taking the unprecedented step to further their partisan power grab regarding the committee assignments of the other party,” McCarthy said.
Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz on Wednesday offered to represent former President Trump in his second impeachment trial, telling Fox News he would be willing to resign from his seat in the House of Representatives if asked to join the Trump legal team.
Gaetz, R-Fla., told Fox News on Wednesday that he has not been asked to join the former president’s defense, but offered to do so.
"I only regret that I have but one political career to give to my president," Gaetz told Fox News.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a gay slur at Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham late 2020, a tweet from August shows.
“Only in 2020 does #LadyG get to push a bunch of debunked conspiracy theories while questioning @SallyQYates (aka an American hero),” Psaki tweeted in August 2020, before she assumed her role in the White House.
Psaki’s reference to “Lady G” refers to rumors that have circulated on social media about Graham’s sexuality. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Very disappointed someone in her position would embrace this style politics,”
Rodeo President and CEO Chris Boleman announced on Wednesday morning there will not be a RodeoHouston 2021 season because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The rodeo tweeted "community health is our priority" along with a video message from Boleman.
This year's rodeo was previously scheduled to be held in May instead of March, a postponement because of the pandemic. But now it has been canceled entirely, including the rodeo competition, concerts and carnival.
Former Vice President Mike Pence announced Wednesday that he’s opened an office in Arlington, Virginia, across the river from Washington. The Office of the Former Vice President will manage correspondence, scheduling requests, public statements, and official activities for Mr. Pence and former second lady Karen Pence. “The Vice President and Mrs. Pence look forward to continuing to elevate causes that are near and dear to their hearts and serving the American people when called upon,” they said in a statement. The Pences are living in northern Virginia and plan to move back to Indiana this summer, the statement said. A recent report speculated
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Wednesday urged President Biden to block the construction of a pipeline that would cross through her state to carry oil from Canada to Wisconsin after a court refused to temporarily block its construction. Omar, in a letter to Biden, invoked both climate change and tribal rights issues. “I joined millions of Americans celebrating your announcement to withdraw permits for the Keystone XL pipeline,” the congresswoman wrote. “I ask that you extend this scrutiny to another massive fossil fuel infrastructure project that will have a comparable impact on our planet: the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline currently
We keep hearing from Nancy Pelosi and the White House that it is “urgent” and an “emergency,” that Congress pass another $1.9 trillion spending bill. Right now, there isn’t a moment to lose. Do not pass go. Schools, police departments, hospitals, orphanages are running out of money.
But how urgent can this new package be when the House Budget Committee Republicans have discovered that the feds still haven’t spent at least $1 trillion of the money from the five previous COVID relief bills last year with a price tag of $3.7 trillion.
Four House Republicans want to see all official documents from President Joe Biden’s White House and one of his cabinet-level transition teams on the firing of the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) two top lawyers. Biden fired NLRB General Counsel Peter Robb near the end of his first day in the Oval Office, then fired Robb’s acting successor, Deputy General Counsel Alice Stock. The General Counsel has a central role in managing cases the NLRB accepts and how it decides them. The position requires Senate confirmation for a four-year term. Robb’s term would have concluded in November 2021.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has spoken at length about her experience during the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6. From her live Instagram videos, it has seemed like she was on the front line, facing down Trump supporting rioters in the halls outside her office. But it turns out, Ocasio-Cortez wasn't in the Capitol at the time of the assault on Congress, she was in her office another building entirely.
Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said she intends to remove the fake news media from the 2024 Republican presidential debate process.Yeah, well, I’ll believe that when I see it.
Anyway…During a Tuesday appearance (24 minute mark) on Newsmax’s Spicer & Co., McDaniel promised to put a stop to these disastrous suicide runs: SPICER: Is the RNC willing to set up a similar system and ensure that these mainstream media outlets that have gone against this president, that have made it very clear that they are mouthpieces for the DNC or the Biden administration, will not host an RNC-sanctioned debate?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) latest order, requiring individuals to wear masks when using public transportation or residing in transportation hubs, will be “further enforced by other federal authorities,” the agency announced in its order, which went into effect this week.Under the order, individuals are required to wear masks while using public transportation, which includes “awaiting, boarding, disembarking, or traveling on airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-shares as they are traveling into, within, or out of the United States and U.S. territories,” per the CDC.“People must also wear masks while at transportation hubs
About 60% of the $546 million Ohio paid in pandemic unemployment benefits last December were for fraudulent claims, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
In December, $330 million worth of PUA benefits were paid to scam claimants, Director Kimberly Henderson said Wednesday. In comparison, only $216 million was sent out that month for legitimate PUA claims, according to ODJFS spokesman Tom Betti.
In all, money was paid out for 56,000 fake Pandemic Unemployment Assistance claims in December, Henderson said during a Zoom call with reporters. Another 100,000 fraudulent PUA claims made that month were flagged, and no money was paid out, she said.

Country music star Morgan Wallen's recording contract has been suspended "indefinitely" and a nationwide radio station operator has pulled his songs from rotation after a video surfaced showing him shouting a racial slur.
The video, which was first published by TMZ on Tuesday night, showed Wallen yelling profanities outside a home in Nashville, Tennessee. Wallen has apologized for using the language.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still very much a threat in the United States. For that reason, Dr. Anthony Fauci wants Americans to watch Super Bowl LV between the Chiefs and Buccaneers at home. In an appearance on "Today," the chief medical advisor to President Joe Biden said people in the United States should avoid large Super Bowl parties and believes that COVID-19 cases could increase even further in the country if people hold or attend Super Bowl parties. "Every time we have something like this, there always is a spike, be it a holiday, Christmas, New Year's Thanksgiving," Fauci said.
In another reversal of Trump-era policy, the Biden administration on Wednesday dropped its discrimination lawsuit against Yale University that alleged the Ivy League school was illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants. Wednesday's voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit, which had been brought by the Trump administration, followed a November 12 decision by a federal appeals court that Harvard University's use of race in undergraduate admissions complied with federal civil rights law.(Snip) Yale was gratified and pleased by those two developments, spokesperson Karen Peart said. 'Yale has steadfastly maintained that its process complies fully with Supreme Court precedent, and we are confident
78-year-old Donna Szucs says she has lost thousands in unpaid rent from the tenant of a home she owns in Wyoming County.
"It's very frustrating because I have to provide him with water, heat, and everything else even though he pays me nothing," Szucs said.
Szucs has no legal recourse. The New York State moratorium on rent, aimed at helping those who lost jobs due to the pandemic, allows for people to miss rent payments and not face eviction. For Szucs, that's meant almost 12 months of lost wages.

The U.S. has officially signed a five-year extension of the New START nuclear weapons treaty with Russia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday morning.“President Biden pledged to keep the American people safe from nuclear threats by restoring U.S. leadership on arms control and nonproliferation,” Blinken wrote in a statement. “Extending the New START Treaty ensures we have verifiable limits on Russian ICBMs, SLBMs, and heavy bombers until February 5, 2026. The New START Treaty’s verification regime enables us to monitor Russian compliance with the treaty and provides us with greater insight into Russia’s nuclear posture, including through data exchanges and onsite inspections that allow U.S. inspectors
Sean Penn penned a fiery letter to the staffers of his COVID-19 vaccination site in Los Angeles after two anonymous workers complained about the operation online.

The foundation has received heaps of praise over the last year for its swift responses to the coronavirus pandemic by providing test and vaccine centers.

The coronavirus pandemic was kind to Andrew Cuomo. The New York governor has a well-earned reputation as something of a bare-fisted political thug in Albany but an event that turned out to be a disaster for President Donald Trump and most Americans has been a political windfall for Cuomo.Or at least it was until last week, when New York Attorney General Letitia James issued a report concluding Cuomo’s administration had undercounted the number of coronavirus deaths of nursing home patients by nearly 4,000. The real death total was far higher than Cuomo had claimed. Within hours of the report being issued, the state Health Department released previously unpublished records

Black History Month presents an opportunity for us to celebrate the contributions of Black Americans.

Longtime oil and gas industry workers David and Kristina Dickerson are criticizing President Joe Biden’s executive order canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline. They say the order, which displaced them from the project, is threatening their economic stability. "I feel pretty betrayed," David, who has worked in the oil and gas industry for 31 years, said Wednesday morning on "Fox & Friends." The president signed an executive order in January revoking the March 2019 permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The project was expected to create approximately 13,000 high-paying union jobs in the U.S. and Canada, according to an October 2020
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday ordered the resignation of the hundreds of people that serve on the Pentagon’s 42 civilian advisory boards, effectively purging a number of Trump loyalists named to the boards in the Trump administration's final days.
The resignations are part of a broader review Austin has ordered to look at the viability of the boards and to eliminate potential overlaps. But the Pentagon's top spokesman acknowledged that the resignations and the review had been prompted by the last-minute appointments of Trump loyalists to the boards, including Trump's former campaign manager.
Big Apple students are this week being taught a Black Lives Matter agenda inspired in part by a cop killer who is one of the FBI’s most wanted suspects. City schools are joining others around the US in a Black Lives Matter at School “week of action” encouraging a “lifetime of practice” on 13 guiding principles, including being queer- and trans-affirming. The BLM at School’s home page centers on one inspirational quote—from Assata Shakur, the former Black Panther who fled prison in 1979 where she was serving life for the execution-style murder of a New Jersey State Trooper.

It turns out Leonardo di Caprio isn’t the only one taking private jets to pick up climate awards. Biden global climate czar John Kerry flew by private plane in 2019 to accept an award for his climate work in Iceland, a decision he defended at the time as “the only choice for somebody like me,” as shown on a video posted Wednesday by FoxNews.com.(Snip) A private jet produces up to 40 times more carbon-dioxide emissions per passenger than a commercial airplane, but Mr. Kerry offered no apologies for his transportation mode, touting his climate bona fides and saying his schedule gave him little choice.
Rochester Public Schools Superintendent Michael Muñoz has resigned amid accusations that he plagiarized school-related communications including graduation speeches and letters to staff. The school board voted unanimously late Tuesday evening to accept Muñoz's resignation, which is effective June 30. Board members did not discuss the matter publicly either before or after the vote, which came nearly six hours into the board's regular meeting and followed a closed session that was not noted on the meeting agenda. Muñoz was previously disciplined by the board in December after he apologized for plagiarizing most of a Thanksgiving letter he sent to school staff members.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday canceled courtroom arguments scheduled for the next few weeks over two aspects of former President Donald Trump's immigration policy — a reflection of the new administration's reversal on both issues. The court granted the Justice Department's request to remove two Trump administration appeals of lower court rulings from the argument calendar, one being against the use of Pentagon money to build the southern border wall and the other against making immigrants wait in Mexico instead of the U.S. Stopping the wall project was among the first steps President Joe Biden took after he was sworn
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held a news conference Tuesday to announce the support of legislation to protect social media users’ privacy, saying “big tech has come to look more like big brother with each passing day.”
The governor said the legislation will seek a slew of changes that DeSantis says will protect privacy and censorship by social media platforms.
He called out Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple and Amazon for being "nameless, faceless boards of censors."

Washington—A $25 billion grant program for struggling restaurants will be included in President Biden’s whopping $1.9 trillion coronavirus package—with a large chunk of that going to the Big Apple’s ailing eateries, The Post has learned. The details of the provision are still tentative but would allow eligible food service and drinking establishments to file for grants of up to $10 million to make up for lost revenue in 2020 caused by the coronavirus pandemic, a source familiar with the negotiations said.(Snip) Grants would not need to be paid back, unless grantees permanently closed or did not spend the grants on eligible expenses,
A Minnesota man twice bailed out by a Vice President Kamala Harris-backed nonprofit group has been busted a third time on felony drug charges, authorities said. Thomas Moseley’s latest collar stems from his arrest on Oct. 15, 2020, when he was picked up at a George Floyd-related protest and charged with damaging the Minneapolis Police Department’s Fifth Precinct months earlier, WCCO-TV reported. Police found a handgun in his waistband and charged him with possession of a dangerous weapon. Moseley, 29, of Minneapolis, was also busted on rioting charges from a Dec. 31, 2020, demonstration. In both cases, he was freed
The framework of Liz Cheney’s DeceptiCon perspective is actually turning out to be a valuable asset. By watching who steps out to defend Ms. Cheney we get a more clarified picture of who the DeceptiCons are. Liz Cheney is a walking ‘TOUCHSTONE“, a test or criteria for determining the genuine ideology of corrupt political alignment.
Last night Mitch McConnell stood up on Cheney’s behalf. Today Lindsey Graham does the same. These republican names reflect politicians who are aligned with Globalism, Wall Street, and the leftist agenda of Big Government; these are the DeceptiCons.
Debate is expected at the meeting about the standing in the conference of Reps. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. Cheney angered many of her fellow Republicans with a vote to impeach former President Trump, triggering a push by some of the Trump loyalists in the conference to remove her as the conference chair. And intense focus is on Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., over Greene. The GOP leader Tuesday had his long-awaited, in-person talk with Greene – who's shown little if any remorse for previously espousing conspiracy theories. Correction*

When Susan Sellers was diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia, she was sent to the emergency room at Duke University Hospital, where doctors told her she would be admitted to treat her labored breathing and severe cough.
Then they returned a short time later with an alternative: Sellers could go home, through an experimental home health program for COVID-19 patients. She’d be given the supplemental oxygen she needed, have her condition and vital signs checked regularly through a tablet and receive as many visits from a nurse as she needed each day.
The American media today would make Pravda blush.The media keeps telling us there was absolutely no fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The Democrat establishment demands Republicans move on and accept Joe Biden’s improbable win and the unlikely results.But we also know that President Trump was leading Joe Biden in Michigan alone by over 100,000 votes on election night when suddenly Biden received 150,000 votes in less than one minute at 6:31 in the morning.
Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson exclaimed in an interview with Business Insider she is “completely over the moon” that abortion rights champion Kamala Harris is now vice president.“She has really demonstrated her facility of understanding our issues but also the intersection of sexual and reproductive healthcare with issues of race, with issues of the economy, with issues of democracy and our American values,” Johnson said in the interview published Monday.“I’m completely over the moon and so excited to support her leadership and support their vision for how we transform healthcare, as well as sexual reproductive healthcare,”
House Republicans have slammed White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and demanded she 'immediately apologize' for 'demeaning' the US Space Force. Alabama Rep. Mike Rogers and Florida Rep. Mike Waltz both hit out at Psaki Tuesday for what they described as a 'disgraceful' quip about the newest branch of the military where she joked it was 'the plane of today'. Psaki also managed to ruffle more feathers in the briefing room Tuesday when she hit out at a Politico reporter accusing her of 'putting words in my mouth' over the White House's China strategy.
Politics sometimes does strange and sad things to people, especially to elected officials in Washington. Sometimes it makes them forget who they are—or become someone else entirely. In the case of Illinois Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, it seems to have confused his loyalties: in exchange for attaboys from Twitter blue-checks and MSNBC, he turned on his own family.(Snip)In true D.C. fashion, Kinzinger used his feting by corporate media to promote his new PAC, Country1st, for which he released a little video. In the video he goes beyond just selling out his family and actually paraphrases the words of Jesus Christ, shamelessly appropriating them for contemporary American politics
Immediately after the election, data maven Matthew Braynard began to determine how many fake ballots were cast in the disputed states. He now says he has absolute proof that Biden’s victory in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin came through election fraud. (snip) Even though the courts, from the Supreme Court on down, have refused to look at claims of election fraud, the reality is that elections are legal processes. (snip) In the world of contract law, if the court concludes that one party was inveigled into the contract because the other party lied about fundamental facts, that contract is void ab initio.
The impeachment managers from the Democrat House, along with co-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, seem convinced that a Senate “trial” will dispatch Donald Trump from the American scene.
Not so fast….

If they come to an understanding, we should support her in issuing an apology
When not attacking the Trump administration for the pace of COVID-19 vaccine distribution, candidate Joe Biden said he’d dramatically accelerate the rate at which Americans got treated. What’s more, he was supposed to be ready on day one. At least, that’s what he and his team kept telling the public.
So why is the growth rate of daily vaccinations decelerating? And why is President Biden now busy making excuses?
Before taking office, Biden stated that he’d directed his team to prepare a “much more aggressive effort, with more federal involvement and leadership, to get things back on track.”

Several House Republicans are moving to remove far-left Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from her committee assignments this week after Democrats announced recently that they are pushing to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a conspiracy theorist, from her committee assignments.“The House is set to consider a measure this week that calls for Taylor Greene, a controversial first-term lawmaker known for his support of the QAnon conspiracy theory, from her assignment on the Education and Labor Committee,” Fox News reported. “A proposed GOP-backed amendment to that measure calls for Omar, frequently identified as a member of the ‘Squad’ of progressive Democrats, to be removed from her committee assignments.”
Buried underneath the reams of data, statistical analysis and affidavits that put the Democrats' win in the recent presidential election in serious question, lies one salient fact: The Democrats planned to rig that election regardless of whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton won in 2016, because the Democrats were rigging the 2016 primaries for Clinton. Project Veritas revealed the Democrats' scam that year in a two-part video series, "Rigging the Election." The series not only shows how paid agitators attempted to disrupt Trump's campaign, as FrontPage Magazine reported in "Capturing the False Flag." It uncovers schemes to register ineligible voters and transport non-residents into neighboring states to vote.
In the furor over the January 6 riot, which Sen. Mitt Romney called an “insurrection incited by the president of the United States,” a more serious assault on the Capitol has been overlooked. For those who weren’t around or may have forgotten, here’s what went down on the evening of November 7, 1983.
“Listen carefully, I’m only going to tell you this one time,” a caller from the “Armed Resistance Unit,” told the operator at the Capitol switchboard. “There is a bomb in the Capitol building. It will go off in five minutes. Evacuate the building.” A Senate document, “Bomb Explodes in Capitol,” describes what happened.
