The knife-wielding suspect who mowed down two Capitol police officers, killing one and leaving the other critically injured, before being shot dead has now been identified as a 25-year-old Nation of Islam follower. Noah Green, 25, who described himself as a 'Follower of Farrakhan' on his now-removed Facebook page, was identified by NBC and the New York Post as the perpetrator behind the deadly attack on the US Capitol Friday. Green allegedly killed Capitol Police Officer Billy Evans, an 18-year veteran of the force, after mowing him and another unidentified officer down with his blue Nissan Altima. Green, who was from Indiana but has ties to Virginia,

Former President Donald Trump provided some parenting advice in his latest interview, highlighting the importance of keeping children away from alcohol and drugs — just as President Joe Biden’s son Hunter is in the headlines discussing his battles with addiction.Trump frequently raised Hunter’s well-documented troubles during the last election campaign, and his comments will be taken as a thinly veiled swipe at the new first family.In Thursday’s interview with Gina Loudon, the co-chairwoman of Women for Trump 2020, he was served a series of softball questions, including how he had managed to raise such fine children.“I think you have to give them a lot of attention,” he said

According to U.S. Capitol Police, all Capitol buildings have been locked down “due to an external security threat.” Staff members were informed that they were not to go into or exit the buildings.
Those already inside the Capitol are being allowed to move throughout the buildings but they have been instructed to stay away from exterior windows and doors. Those that are outside have been told to take cover immediately. (Video) An anonymous source told the AP that police responded to a possible shooting near

Joe Biden on Friday once again told Americans to cower in fear and wear masks in order to be able to have barbecues and enjoy the 4th of July.“If the American people continue to do their part — mask up, practice social distancing, we can have a more normal July 4th.”WATCH: (Tweet/Video) This isn’t the first time Joe Biden has told Americans how we can spend the 4th of July.Last month Biden told Americans if we “do our part” we can have barbecues and spend time with family and friends on July 4th.
Hunter Biden has revealed his father staged an intervention to get him to give up drugs last year, during the Presidential election, in his first sit-down interview for months where he also admits the damaging laptop with details of his business dealings in Ukraine 'could' be his, but says he was 'hacked by Russians'. Hunter did two interviews with CBS to promote his new memoir, Beautiful Things. The first will air on Sunday morning, and the second will air on Monday morning. The network teased a trailer for both on Friday morning. It is the first time it is publicly known that the Biden family staged
Donald Trump Jr. and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle have just shelled out $9.7 million on a Florida mansion. And it looks like they snagged a bargain. The home was initially listed back in 2017 for a whopping $19.9 million, property records show. But after three years on-and-off the market, and a $10 million price cut, the home finally sold to Trump Jr., 43, and his gal pal, 52, who recently revealed that she already feels like she’s married to him. The sale took place two-and-a-half months after the pair made their exit from the Big Apple following the results of the 2020 election.
The Internet Accountability Project (IAP) released a report showing big tech employees and corporate PACs contributed more than 12 times the money to Democrats than Republicans in 2020. The IAP, whose mission it is to “rein in big tech before it’s too late,” discovered employees of Facebook and Twitter, compounded with their PAC donations, have contributed over $5.5 million to Democrats while contributing less than $435,000 to Republicans, a ratio of 12 to one. A portion of the money donated to Democrats as a whole includes $72,838 to Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday night decried big tech “censorship” after an interview he gave to his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, was taken off Facebook.“I did a very nice interview with Lara,” the former commander-in-chief said in a separate interview on cable news channel Real America’s Voice. “Facebook took it off and it’s disgraceful,” he told host Dr. Gina Loudon.The interview was for Lara Trump’s podcast and published Tuesday. When she posted the footage to Facebook and sister-company Instagram, it was removed.
There are a lot of ironies when it comes to increased Democrat calls for more gun control — which always happens when they are in power — and corresponding record increases in gun sales, but this one might just be the granddaddy of them all.As reported by “Washington Secrets” columnist Paul Bedard, gun sales hit another record in February as Joe Biden and congressional Democrats once again ramped up calls for new gun control measures, politically exploiting, as they always do, a series of tragic mass shootings.Bedard writes:For the second time in three months, the FBI broke its record for gun sales, concealed carry, .
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question on Thursday about smugglers throwing small children over the southern border wall, and instead shifted attention to the reporter’s motivation for asking the question.“And then, on immigration, has the White House considered beefing up border security now that there is video of a three-year-old and a five-year-old being thrown over the wall in New Mexico?” Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked.Psaki said that the administration has “spoken out about our concerns” regarding what the smugglers are doing.“Yes, but they still got close enough — as you guys are talking about addressing root causes
Georgia’s election reform legislation is pretty good. But the future of the republic is at stake, and “pretty good” isn’t good enough.
Unfortunately, while the omnibus bill contains a number of laudable provisions, such as stricter ID requirements and absentee ballot safeguards, it also includes glaring flaws that could render the final product largely meaningless.Most significantly, the language used to “ban” private funding of election administration has a loophole large enough to drive a semi-truck full of ballots through. Although the legislation bars election officials from directly accepting private funding, the wording expressly allows funding to flow through “the governing authority of the county or municipality,”
Thirteen states are joining forces to sue President Joe Biden’s administration over his power grabbing American Rescue Plan which banned states from cutting taxes if they received COVID-19 relief funds.The Daily Caller reports: “The 13-state coalition argued that the provision included in the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package preventing states from cutting taxes if they accept relief from the federal government is unconstitutional. The coalition, led by Republican West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, filed the federal lawsuit Wednesday evening in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.”In a statement released on Wednesday, Morrisey said, “Never before has the federal government attempted

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.
MLB is taking its ball and leaving Georgia. The league announced on Friday that it is moving the 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta as backlash grows over a new Georgia law that is seen as an attack on voter access.
“I have determined the best way to demonstrate our value as a sport is relocating this year’s All-Star Game and MLB Draft,” commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “MLB fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box.”
Manfred’s decision comes as a growing number of corporations, including Atlanta-based Delta and Coca Cola,

Little Petey Buttigieg is now playing in the big leagues, having made the tremendous leap from ineffectual mayor of a crime-ridden city to Transportation Secretary of the United States of America. To make a point about alternative transportation, he rode a bicycle to his first White House cabinet meeting – after first having several burly men drive him near the White House and then escort him and his bike. This kind of theater is typical for leftists, who often seem incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.
Last week, Little Petey (who always reminds me of a cross between Alfred “What, Me Worry?” Newman and Beaver Cleaver)
Don't call it cancel culture, call it cancel careerism. Nearly 140 documentary filmmakers have signed onto a letter given to PBS executives, suggesting the service may provide an unfair level of support to white creators, facing a "systemic failure to fulfill (its) mandate for a diversity of voices."
Titled "A Letter to PBS From Viewers Like Us," the missive references Ken Burns, arguably one of PBS' biggest non-fiction stars and creator of popular projects like Baseball, Jazz, The Civil War and an upcoming six-hour program called Hemingway.

Federal health officials gave the green light Friday for fully vaccinated people to resume travel as an estimated 100 million Americans have had at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and evidence mounts of the shots’ effectiveness. The long-awaited guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is welcome news for the growing number of vaccinated adults who want greater freedom to visit family members and take vacations for the first time in a year. It is also expected to help boost the travel and airline industries that have been seeking a relaxation of restrictions. Until Friday’s announcement

‘Concealable Assault-Style Firearms’ 23 replies
A group of House Democrats has asked President Joe Biden to take executive action on “concealable assault-style firearms,” citing two mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder, Colorado, last month.
“Concealable assault-style firearms that fire rifle rounds pose an unreasonable threat to our communities and should be fully regulated under the National Firearms Act consistent with the intent and history of the law. The recent tragedy in Boulder, Colorado where 10 people including a police officer were killed is one in a string of deadly incidents involving this style of weapon,” Reps. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), Joe Neguse (D-Colo.), Val Demings (D-Fla.), and Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) said in a letter to Biden.

ViacomCBS is the first major Hollywood studio to speak out against Georgia’s voter integrity law, claiming without citing evidence that the legislation intended to fight voter fraud actually impedes the “equal right to vote.” The media conglomerate, which owns Paramount Pictures and the CBS network, stopped short of endorsing the left’s demands to boycott the state.
In a statement posted to Twitter, ViacomCBS said that it opposes the new law and will work to promote an “open and fair voting system” through its programming and partnerships with activist groups.
