A driver smashed through a barrier outside the US Capitol and struck two cops, and he was shot by police when he got out and pulled a knife, according to officials and reports. All three were taken to the hospital—with the suspect in police custody—as the building was placed on lockdown during the 1 p.m. chaos. The incident took place at a vehicle checkpoint on the north side of the Capitol along Independence Avenue in Washington DC, police said. Sources told NBC News that the driver got out of the car with a knife after hitting the officers, and police shot him.

Amazon has joined the chorus of corporations condemning Republican efforts to tighten election laws in Texas and Georgia. The e-commerce colossus said it opposes measures “aimed at restricting the ability of Americans to vote” as the Lone Star State’s Senate passed a bill that would limit access to mail-in ballots and ban drive-thru voting. “It has been fifty-six years since the Voting Rights Act became law, yet efforts to disenfranchise Black people and other minorities continue to this day,” Amazon exec Jay Carney, who served as ex-President Barack Obama’s press secretary, said in a statement Thursday.

Former House Speaker John Boehner claims the GOP thought ex-President Barack Obama was a 'secret Kenyan Muslim traitor,' he called Sen. Ted Cruz a 'reckless a**hole' and said Republican 'morons' flooded Congress in 2010.
In Boehner's new book, 'On the House: A Washington Memoir,' the chain-smoking, red wine-sipping former top Republican doesn't hold back when judging members of his own party. Boehner ascended to the speakership in 2011 after the Tea Party movement helped the GOP capture the House majority two years into Obama's tenure.(Snip) Boehner complained about the tone of the new Tea Party-tied members.

National Public Radio has corrected an online article that falsely asserted that documents from first son Hunter Biden’s laptop had been “discredited by U.S. intelligence.” A book review of Hunter Biden’s memoir “Beautiful Things” initially dismissed the documents first reported in October by The Post. “The laptop story was discredited by U.S. intelligence and independent investigations by news organizations,” the book review by NPR senior editor and correspondent Ron Elving initially claimed. The correction on the Thursday article now says, “A previous version of this story said U.S. intelligence had discredited the laptop story. U.S. intelligence officials have not made a statement to that effect.”

America's top health agency has rowed back on a bold claim made by its director that 'vaccinated people do not carry the virus'.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a TV interview this week: 'Vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that is not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real world data.'
The CDC has now distanced itself from her claim, issuing a statement saying that 'the evidence isn't clear' and its director was 'speaking broadly'.(Snip) Dr Walensky's comments are not backed by evidence that the Pfizer

President Joe Biden's Secretary of Education is looking into whether the president can cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt for millions of borrowers. White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said at a Politico Playbook event Thursday that Biden has asked Education Secretary Miguel Cardona to figure out if the president has the legal authority to wipe out their balances. On the campaign trail he said he wanted to wipe away $10,000 per borrower, but prominent Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have pressed him to pursue $50,000 in debt relief per student.

New York—There was a terrifying attack in lower Manhattan earlier this week. A family of three was slashed while walking down the street. One of the victims is only a year old, CBS2’s Alice Gainer reported Thursday. Police have already arrested the man they believe is responsible. The attack happened on State Street near Battery Park on Wednesday just before 6 p.m. A Hasidic family, including a man and a woman both 22 years old, are seen on video walking with a 1-year-old in a stroller. A man with an umbrella walks past them and then turns around and attacks them from behind.

His name is John and he is a patriotic American. He is a law-abiding citizen who works as an electrical engineer. He pays his taxes and coaches youth sports. He is married, owns a home in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and is a good neighbor. Yet, in this world of mass murderers, brainsick terrorists and unknown illegals streaming across our southern border, the FBI has become obsessed with John. Agents come to his house and bang on his door. They call him at work. They persistently threaten him with ominous questions.(Snip) They got a tip, they told him, that he was at the Capitol

An argument outside a Taco Bell in Maryland became a little too spicy when a driver plowed into a crowd of people—then crashed through a glass door into the restaurant, according to a video. In the wild footage, a group of people are seen shouting at each other in front of the fast food joint in Waldorf at around 10:20 p.m. Wednesday before the driver hits the gas—striking at least two people and smashing into the restaurant, according to ABC 7 News.(Snip) Two women in the car had allegedly just picked a fight with a worker in the drive-thru window

Selecting Dung Biden was supposed to usher in a harmonic convergence of kindness and understanding, but it seems people are more enraged than ever before, breaking into senseless violence at the slightest provocation.
