Taking a break from the Senate speeches after the seditious attack on the Capitol building Wednesday, CNN’s PrimeTime host Chris Cuomo openly wondered if the day’s chaos may “mark a beginning or an end for this country.” Some time went by before he eventually walked it back, but not before he received surprising push back from

Footage of a protester shot on Capitol Hill went viral on Wednesday after a mob stormed the Capitol building and tried to break down doors within the building. The woman was taken to an area hospital, where she later died. BREAKING: Woman who was shot inside the US Capitol building has died, several law enforcement

Call this a very special form of a be careful what you wish for story. Now that it appears that Joe Biden will have the narrowest of Senate majorities for the next two years, progressives have begun a campaign to claim the best spoils possible. Having gotten burned by the refusal of late Justice Ruth Bader

The coronavirus may become a yearly event that will require vaccinations similar to the flu, a medical director told the Daily Caller News Foundation during an exclusive interview. Dr. Anthony Harris, the Chief Innovation Officer and Associate Medical Director for WorkCare, spoke with the Daily Caller News Foundation’s Samantha Renck about potential side effects of

Protesters storm into the U.S. Capitol during clashes with police in Washington, D.C., January 6, 2021. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters) One of the unfortunate knee-jerk habits these days of extremely political people is to insist that any violence caused by people on their own side must actually be a false-flag conspiracy of their political opponents in disguise.

The commentator diagnoses why so-called conservatives are unable (or unwilling) to combat draconian rule in the age of the pandemic. Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens during a warm-up question before the recording of BBC One’s political debate programme, Question Time, hosted from St Paul’s Cathedral in London for the first time in the programme’s

Update: This is a rapidly developing story. “Twitter locked President Trump out of his account for the first time late Wednesday,” The Washington Post reported after 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Post also claimed, “The 12-hour timeout also included the removal of three tweets and a warning that Trump could be subject to a permanent suspension”

On Wednesday, after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and blocked Congress from counting the Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, President Donald Trump called for supporters to “go home” but repeated his insistence that he won the 2020 election in a “landslide.” Twitter responded by blocking three of Trump’s tweets and locking his account

Don’t expect to get a reaction tonight from Donald Trump on … well, much of anything. The White House has already called a lid for tonight and sent the media home after the riot on Capitol Hill. Now Twitter has decided to do what his staff and his family couldn’t — take the phone out

A bomb was reportedly found at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee Wednesday and the Democratic National Committee is under evacuation after receiving a suspicious package. The explosive device at the RNC, which is being called a pipe bomb, was successfully destroyed by law enforcement, according to the New York Times, citing officials close

This is why police have guns, no? We should treat this episode like what it is. If this rabble had been wearing turbans instead of MAGA hats, the mob would have been met with overwhelming force. That is how it should be met. If we have to build an extra federal prison to lock up

Evidence abounds that the game was rigged, and the courts clearly failed us. But no good can come from continuing opposition. The Republican Party is split over whether to challenge the electoral college vote on January 6th. Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who vigorously opposes the maneuver, claims there may be well over 100 House members

Wokester reporters at the New York Times forced out its editorial page editor this summer after he published an op-ed by Republican U.S. Senator Tom Cotton that called for military help in quelling street riots. Yet it’s perfectly happy to prominently feature Chinese Communist propaganda from its own staffers suggesting China’s brand of authoritarianism is the wave of

I was cautiously optimistic that the GOP would hold at least one seat in Tuesday’s runoff elections in Georgia. Frankly, I gave the edge to Kelly Loeffler, whose opponent, Raphael Warnock, had been exposed as a far-left radical who supports defunding the police. Heck, while I still don’t believe Joe Biden legitimately won the state

Just tacking this news onto Ed’s post earlier. I must say, having Trump turn on his most loyal soldier in government as the final act in this endless sh*tshow is simply delightful. In case any Republicans in the Senate are still on the fence about how to vote today, here’s a bracing reminder from the

The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate will convene in a joint session of Congress to observe the unsealing of the state’s electoral votes, hear objections and ultimately name the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election. Objections to the results of several states are expected which will force the two chambers to convene in

President Trump has chosen to punish Mike Pence’s four years of loyal service by placing him in an impossible position in today’s joint session of Congress, with the untenable claim that Pence has the power, by himself, to throw out slates of electors certified by state governors: The Vice President has the power to reject

A piece of commentary by David K. Shipler crossed my computer screen the other day, and it deserves some attention because it reflects the ongoing liberal obsession with Donald Trump these days, even as his White House tenure nears its well-deserved termination. Shipler is a serious journalist and author with an impressive resume that includes

NBC’s This Is Us has had pro-life episodes during its long run. In previous episodes, characters have welcomed unplanned pregnancies. It also routinely gives a nuanced and life-affirming perspective on adoption. But in the 2020s, there are certain left-wing sacred cows you cannot touch. Back in the late ’90s and early aughts, female characters on television could acknowledge abortion regret.

On Monday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a new rules package explicitly striking gendered language from the official House Rules. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) noted that at least 23 of the Democrats who voted for the new gender-neutral rules nevertheless use gendered terms to describe themselves on social media. House Democrats passed

America’s political dysfunction requires rational reform. Fortunately, many necessary changes don’t require constitutional amendment. There is little doubt that President Trump, before both the 2016 and 2020 elections, did all he could to undermine confidence in their results. In 2016, he was abetted by his opponent, whose delayed and graceless concession was followed by state

Radical Rev. Raphael Warnock is running against a Senator the New York Times calls “strident Trump loyalist” Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of two U.S. Senate runoffs that end Tuesday in Georgia. The Times has been feverishly promoting both Democratic runoff candidates (the other is Jon Ossoff), especially Warnock, while lobbing accusations at the Republicans. The

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo shut down New York, dispatched untold numbers of elderly nursing home residents to die of COVID, bragged about his awesomeness, wrote a book about his awesomeness, accepted an International Emmy for his alleged awesomeness, and then announced that he’d really like to escape the surly bonds of lockdown and go

There was never a question that it would come to this once he started digging in on the idea that he was cheated, only a question of how explicit the threats of violence would become. We’ll get a sense tomorrow of how far he’s prepared to go at the rally his fans are holding while

Half of Chicago public school teachers required to attend class preparation did not show up in defiance of city orders, the city said Tuesday. Just 49.7% of all Chicago public school teachers who were required by the city reported to work Monday, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) head Janice Jackson said Tuesday, NBC Chicago reported. Including

There are plenty of unpleasant things that ought to be left behind in that nightmare of a year. God willing, Fukuyama will be one of them. Among America’s excuse for an elite, each intellectual in-group has its big-brain shibboleths by which initiates and aspirants signal their transcendence over the mental failings and fixations of the
