Ever since the Capitol riot, Republicans have been subjected to non-stop pious lectures from Democrats, their allies in the mainstream press, and on the NeverTrump “right” about how it is undemocratic to allegedly undermine and delegitimize “sacred institutions” in America like the Supreme Court and Congress.But as Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee reminded them this week during a predictable hearing on so-called “Supreme Court ethics reform,” it’s Democrats themselves who are guilty of the worst offenses on this front, which include repeated smear attempts – likely coordinated at high levels – against sitting conservative members of the court like Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch.
Former Obama-era CIA Director Mike Morell and current Secretary of State Antony Blinken were recently exposed as being behind the infamous “intel letter” that sought to dismiss Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation. Now, a new report is providing unassailable evidence of exactly what the motive behind the gambit was. According to The Washington Examiner, Morell sent a recruitment email to gather signatories for the letter. Notably, in the email, he admitted that the entire purpose was to give Joe Biden a rebuttal to Donald Trump’s attacks during the presidential debates.

You learn a lot on Twitter about banking, and it’s fascinating. Simple stuff to start, like if Jim Cramer says “This is the GREATEST [fill in the blank]!!!” I now know to giggle and run the other way as fast as I can.
If I had any money, that is, so this is rhetorical, of course. Since I don’t, I’ve learned to sit back and watch whatever he’s loving explode shortly after he acts the fool about it.
I’ve also learned that the people in charge of our finances right now – with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the top of the power structure

In a rare and candid email exchange between two former CIA bosses, Michael Morell told John Brennan in October 2020 that he was organizing a letter of 51 intel experts claiming the emergence of the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian influence operation because he wanted to give Joe Biden's campaign a "talking point to push back on" Donald Trump during the last presidential debate of the 2020 election, according to documents obtained by Just the News. (snip) Intelligence professionals reacted swiftly to the news Wednesday night, saying the revelation that two former CIA chiefs used their bona fidis to influence the 2020 election was troubling.
An embattled George Soros-bankrolled prosecutor in St. Louis resigned Thursday amid a legal effort by Missouri's attorney general to fire her for allegedly neglecting her duties.
St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kimberly Gardner, the city's top prosecutor, is stepping down following repeated, bipartisan calls for her resignation from officials across the state.
Gardner's office tweeted her resignation letter, which was addressed to the people of St. Louis. Gardner is one of the first progressive prosecutors whom Soros, a liberal billionaire and Democrat mega-donor, bankrolled in 2016 and again for her re-election in 2020. She announced last month that she would seek a third term. Her resignation is effective June 1.
Amid a huge ratings spike in recent weeks, Newsmax is revamping their 9 p.m. Eastern weeknight timeslot with a brand new show featuring conservative radio talk show host Chris Plante and current host Jenn Pellegrino, in addition to three other panelists. Plante's new show Chris Plante The Right Squad will launch Monday, May 8, at 9 p.m. Eastern.
This new role will be in addition to his radio hosting duties as a late morning radio show based out of WMAL in Washington, D.C., and syndicated on over 100 radio stations nationwide.
One of the more frustrating consequences of the radical Left’s takeover of America’s big cities has been that the elected saboteurs are rarely, if ever, forced to answer for their destructive acts. Who will hold a deranged mayor accountable when the City Council, district attorney, and others all practice the same groupthink?
On that count, America owes Texas Governor Greg Abbott a debt of gratitude.
Since last summer, Abbott has been showing America the folly of sanctuary policies and the hypocrisy of those who support them. By sending buses of newly arrived illegal aliens to some of America’s major metropolitan centers, Abbott
Some Republicans are now floating the idea of impeaching President Biden over a whistleblower claim that he accepted cash from a foreign national seeking favorable policies when he was vice president.
Even though the claims have not been substantiated, a number of Republicans said if the claims were found to be true they would try to remove Biden from office.
'I think that's a very strong possibility,' Oversight member Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., said on Fox Business Thursday morning. 'I think it's certainly on the table.'
Ousted Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson has floated hosting his own 2024 Republican primary debate - and has spoken to former President Donald Trump about putting on a candidate forum.
The Washington Post reported Thursday on what Carlson might do next - writing that he would be willing to walk away from millions of dollars still owed to him in his Fox contract to have a hand in the 2024 election cycle.
What Carlson pitched would be an unsanctioned debate outside the Republican National Committee debate system.
The Nevada Republican Club (NRC) hosted a sold-out luncheon on Tuesday in Las Vegas, featuring Scott Presler, a well-known Republican speaker, voter engagement leader, and recipient of CPAC’s Ronald Reagan Award.Presler spoke about the importance of voter registration, early voting, and legal ballot harvesting, urging Republicans to vote early like Democrats do — who vote for weeks — and saying that Republicans only vote for 12 hours on Election Day. Presler also emphasized that Nevada is in play for the 2024 presidential election, and he committed to spending the next year-and-a-half of his life making sure that Joe Biden is a one-term President.
Two former top intelligence officials will testify this month before the House Judiciary Committee’s weaponization of the federal government panel about the statement they signed in 2020 discrediting the bombshell story about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper will appear before the panel in behind-closed-door interviews on May 11 and May 17, respectively, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Breitbart News.
With Bud Light sales down 26.1% from 2022 levels, Anheuser-Busch executives are finally starting to realize that the controversy over their making the fake female man of the hour, Dylan Mulvaney, the face of the alleged beer brand is not going to blow over quickly or easily. And so only now, over a month after the news first broke that Mulvaney was now the front man for the Drag Queen of Beers, the beer giant has sent a letter to wholesalers in which it addresses the issue directly for the very first time. Will this make the trouble go away and restore Bud Light to its former preeminence? Unlikely.
Former Trump White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany will be stepping in to host “Fox News Tonight” in the network’s coveted primetime slot, which recently opened up after the company’s ousting of Tucker Carlson, all of next week.
McEnany shared the news on Twitter Thursday afternoon, writing, “I am honored to share that I will be hosting Fox News Tonight on @FoxNews at 8pm ET all next week (5/8-5/12)! Set your DVR.”
One thing I've learned as an adult is that people who actually care about someone don't let them continually fail. Instead, they address that person's problems head-on, because people who care actually want you to succeed, and success often requires course correction. (Snip) This phenomenon has been on full display in the Left's response to the sad killing of Jordan Neely this week. Neely was a homeless man with a long history of arrests who was suffering from extreme mental illness. Neely tragically died while being restrained in a chokehold by a passenger on the subway after Neely was aggressively

‘criminal scheme’ to trade money for
policy, Republicans say replies
The FBI has been sitting on a report detailing a scheme involving then-Vice President Joseph R. Biden to accept money in exchange for policy decisions on behalf of a “foreign national,” two senior Republicans said Wednesday.
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, and Rep. James Comer, Kentucky Republican, said their information was “highly credible” and came from whistleblowers who pointed to a confidential human source report that the FBI has had for several years.
They did not say when the alleged dealing occurred nor what country was involved.
Like the sad corporate slave that he is, Biden’s handlers recently sent him, hat in hand, to the multinational banker mafia to beg for an additional $1 billion to complement the cool billion he got handed last time around — in exchange for a solemn promise on his part that “nothing will fundamentally change” once elected president.

"Joe Biden is racing to win early support from Democratic donors for his re-election bid, hoping to beat the $1bn haul he landed in 2020 ahead of what some pundits predict will be the most expensive presidential race in US history.

Shortly after announcing it is suing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Disney blocked pedestrian access to and from the U.S. Armed Forces’ flagship resort in the continental United States. The decision to do so further demonstrates that the Disney of 2023 is not the Disney of 1971 (when Walt Disney World opened) or the Disney of 1955 (when Disneyland did so). Unlike modern Disney’s previous questionable actions, however, this one comes directly at the expense of U.S. military families and veterans—and needlessly and senselessly so. Moreover, the action is tied to the Reedy Creek Improvement District, over which DeSantis, the Florida legislature, and Disney have been battling.
Thursday morning, the Washington Post released a report suggesting that insiders close to Tucker Carlson say the ex-Fox News host has considered being a moderator in an alternate Republican 2024 presidential debate.
Apparently, Carlson has even discussed the idea with former President Donald Trump, who signaled his intentions to steer clear of the primary debate schedule laid out by the Republican National Committee.
Long-time readers of CTH research will remember a very specific agency inside government, the Dept of Justice Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS).This little-known, quasi legislatively authorized, Eric Holder weaponized, silo inside the justice system operates to control information that would be deemed ‘adverse to the peace and tranquility interests of the nation.’ In non-pretending terms, the DOJ-CRS controls any information in the criminal justice system that doesn’t fit the agenda of the radical communists and left-wing activists within it.
The CRS controlled the George Zimmerman case. The CRS controlled the Darren Wilson case (Ferguson). The CRS controlled the Baltimore-Six case. The CRS controlled the Stephen Paddock case (Las Vegas).
Billionaire Stephen Deckoff spent $60 million to buy Jeffrey Epstein’s two Caribbean islands, which were the the so-called headquarters of the convicted pedophile’s international sex trafficking ring.
The 57-year old co-founder of private equity firm Black Diamond Capital Management has plans to turn the infamous islets — with the smaller of the two dubbed “Pedophile Island” or “Epstein Island” — into a 25-room luxury resort that’s slated for a 2025 opening. (snip) A significant portion of the sale proceeds will go towards the $105 million sex trafficking case against Epstein’s estate settled by the US Virgin Island’s government, AP reported.
Former President Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by seven points in a hypothetical general election match-up, according to a Rasmussen poll.
The poll, commissioned by Political Media and first reported by the Post Millenial, shows that 48 percent of likely voters prefer Trump, while 41 percent back Biden. (snip)
The poll sampled 1,050 likely voters across the country from April 27 through May 2 with a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
A religious liberty nonprofit is threatening the federal government with a legal battle after a Catholic hospital in Oklahoma was offered the choice of either extinguishing a sacred candle in its chapel or being stripped of its federal funding. (snip) The hospital entreated the agency in vain four times for a waiver regarding the candle, according to the Becket Fund, which noted that similar flames in the building such as pilot lights and those in gas stove heaters did not prove to be a problem.

Is Zelensky On Thin Ice?
replies
There’s a low rumble of speculation ongoing over the drone attack on the Kremlin. Some say Russia has taken a page out of their book on US history—the chapter on the Tonkin Gulf Incident. Others say, No, it really was a Ukrainian attack. Still others suggest that, if it was the Ukrainians, then it only went ahead with US approval and, perhaps, assistance. All these analysts point to Zelensky’s current peregrinations as a possible sign that he’s staying abroad to avoid a retaliatory strike against himself personally (snip)

The largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. continued its downward trend as it hemorrhaged more than 100 churches and 53,000 members while losing 285 ministers last year, according to statistics released this week. The liberal Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA) went from approximately 1.193 million members to approximately 1.14 million members over the past year (snip)
Conservative Presbyterians who spoke to Fox News Digital last fall laid partial blame for the mainline denomination's decline on what they described as a departure from its historical biblical teachings.
Former President Donald Trump sued The New York Times, three of its reporters, and his own niece in 2021 over an investigation into his tax returns. On Wednesday, a New York trial judge dismissed the suit, saying the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into his finances was clearly protected by the First Amendment.As The Times eagerly reported, Trump accused the paper and three of its reporters of conspiring in an “insidious plot” with his estranged niece, Mary Trump, to improperly obtain his confidential tax records and federal tax returns for a series of stories published in 2018.
My thoughts on Karine Jean Pierre's job performance have been rather clear, and clear-eyed, since the very beginning. Having spoken to multiple people who used to occupy her exact role, as well as a number of public-facing Democrats, let's just say that my assessment is not an outlier. This week, on the subject of the border crisis, the White House Press Secretary did an especially poor and mendacious job on consecutive days. I say this not because she garbled words or offered little of value, which is par for the course, but because she told a massive lie, then got snippy and churlish in response to legitimate questioning
True confession time. (Snip)
Ardent supporters of all things progressive, we were therefore equally surprised when the CBS Evening News performed (what used to be known in the business as) an “act of journalism.” In a really thorough and honest (!) report, they went after the waste being generated by the renewables industry.
(Snip) Driven primarily by wind and solar power, renewable energy sources surpassed coal for electricity generation in the United States last year, marking a significant milestone. However, as the industry expands, a new problem emerges: what to do with the mounting waste generated by worn-out solar panels and wind turbine blades.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), who publicly advanced claims in the infamous Steele dossier, said Thursday on “CNN’s This Morning” that House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) is pushing out “unsubstantiated allegations.”
Comer has subpoenaed the FBI for records alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Partial transcript as follows:KAITLAN COLLINS: Oversight chair James Comer is now subpoenaing records from the FBI. He has subpoena power, of course. He claims they could show then Vice President Biden receiving bribes allegedly from a foreign national in exchange for policy favors. I should note the White House has strenuously denied this.

Former first lady Michelle Obama this week announced her latest initiative, co-founding PLEZi Nutrition in an attempt to “raise healthier kids.”
“I’m proud to announce the national launch of a company designed not just to provide better products, but to jump-start what I hope will be a race to the top that will transform the entire food industry,” Obama said while delivering a speech at the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival.
Obama penned the “about” page of the PLEZi website, in which the former first lady claimed to have dedicated “so much” of her life to help children live healthier lives, pointing to her White House “Let’s Move!” initiative.
Two trend lines extend into the future. One tracks government's increased oppression, surveillance, and social control. The other tracks people's rising spiritual faith, desire for personal freedom, and determination that government should leave them alone. This is our reality. It also exposes the chink in totalitarianism's armor. The greater the government's coercion, the more convinced a growing share of the population becomes that illegitimate government must go.
The same tug of war has played out time and again. With the luxury of hindsight, there is a clear trigger point when governing authorities cross a line into such unacceptable tyranny that their eventual fall becomes certain.

Ordered To Write Apology Letter For Assaulting
Cop; No Jail Time replies
The ‘daughter’ of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA), who identifies as ‘nonbinary,’ has been sentenced to 30 hours of community service and will be required to write an apology letter to the police officer she assaulted during an anti-cop protest in Boston earlier this year.
Jared “Riley” Dowell, who is a biological male, has been given a one-year probation and no jail time for taking part in an Antifa rally on the Boston Common in January. Dowell, 23, spray painted “Stop Cop City” and “ACAB”, an acronym for “all cops are bastards,” on a concrete bandstand and fought officers who placed her under arrest.
The CEO of Anheuser-Busch has unceremoniously disowned the disastrous Dylan Mulvaney stunt – insisting it was 'not a campaign' as a letter to retailers says it was 'just one can'.
Global boss Michel Doukeris addressed the mass backlash over working with trans influencer Mulvaney, 26, for the first time in an earnings call with investors on Thursday.
Doukeris told investors there is 'misinformation' spreading on social media about the company's team-up with Mulvaney, according to Fox Business.
“She’s a [expletive] professor”! Those four words screamed by pro-choice protesters could well sum up the issue for the State University of New York at Albany after the arrest of sociology professor Renee Overdyke. At a recent pro-life demonstration, Overdyke unplugged an electric display to prevent students from expressing their opposition to abortion. She then resisted arrest. The question, which we have previously discussed, is where the university should draw the line in the conduct of faculty in preventing free speech.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) has reversed course from a previous statement to The Epoch Times, when the agency said the so-called manifesto and writings of Nashville school shooter Audrey Hale would be released to the public soon.
The department cited the advice of legal counsel amid litigation filed this week for those same documents to be released.
The Epoch Times contacted MNPD on May 3, but officials would not comment, citing the pending litigation. The story regarding MNPD readying the documents for public release was published April 27
On May 1, the Tennessee Firearms Association (TFA) filed a lawsuit against MNPD over a previously denied public records request for
There's a new report from a leftist outlet today accusing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni Thomas, of enrolling a child in private school, having the tuition paid by a wealthy and longtime friend and failing to disclose the payments on his financial statements to the Court.
In 2008, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas decided to send his teenage grandnephew to Hidden Lake Academy, a private boarding school in the foothills of northern Georgia. The boy, Mark Martin, was far from home. For the previous decade, he had lived with the justice and his wife in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
Washington — The one-time president of the far-right Proud Boys group Enrique Tarrio and three subordinates were convicted of numerous felonies including seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
A federal jury in Washington, D.C. found Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Zachary Rehl and Joseph Biggs guilty of conspiring to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden and using force and prior planning to hinder the 2020 presidential election certification.
There was no verdict for Dominic Pezzola on the most serious charge, seditious conspiracy, but he was found guilty along with the others of obstruction of a official proceeding.
“The investigation has advanced to the point that writings from the Covenant shooter are now being reviewed for public release and that process is underway and will take a little time.”
That was a spokesman for the Metro Nashville Police Department speaking to the New York Post last Thursday. That day marked one month since Audrey Hale, a woman who thought she was a man, murdered Evelyn Dieckhaus, 9, Mike Hill, 61, William Kinney, 9, Katherine Koonce, 60, Cynthia Peak, 61, and Hallie Scruggs, 9, at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee.
Nashville police “could not give a firm date when the writings would be released.” Shortly after the murders,
Having convinced themselves that Democrats will cream President Trump next year thanks to ballot harvesting, the left has moved to remove the last obstacle to their total control of our country, which was a constitutional republic until January 20, 2021’s installation of Biden in the White House.
The left now attacks the Supreme Court.
Democrats want to give Congress control of the court by creating an ethics commission of some sort. That’s like Jack the Ripper calling for knife control.

In an incident sadly familiar to many New Yorkers, a man living on the streets with a long history of mental illness started screaming, acting erratically, and threatening the people sharing his subway car earlier this week. “I don’t mind going to jail and getting life in prison,” screamed the 30-year-old Jordan Neely, who had 44 arrests under his belt and an outstanding warrant for felony assault, as he flailed around throwing items of his clothing. “I’m ready to die!”
In response, a 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran put Neely in a chokehold, incapacitating him and releasing him after he stopped struggling and passed out. A freelance reporter
FRISCO, Texas - The city of Frisco has decided to pull the special event permit for the Frisco Fair effective immediately due to public safety concerns. The Fair, which was scheduled to run until May 14, has been canceled effective immediately after 911 was called multiple times on Saturday night. The city says 911 dispatchers received multiple calls regarding disruptive behavior arguments, fights and gunshots. Frisco police later posted on Facebook that social media posts inaccurately reported the incidents at the fair and said that no arrests were made and that there were not any known gunshot victims.
A viral TikTok video of Southern California restaurant customers standing and singing the Star-Spangled Banner caused many America-hating trolls to post how triggered they were, writing things like “this seems like a horror movie” and “I would be scared for my life.”

The account holder, @paulinappa_0, captioned the post with the ridiculous statement, “By far the most dangerous situation I’ve ever been in.” If that’s true, she must not have ever left her house.

A former Space Force lieutenant colonel who was relieved of his command in 2021 after criticizing the rise of wokeness and critical race theory principles within the military sounded off on the U.S. Navy's latest recruitment strategy: showcasing drag performers. Matthew Lohmeier, who was commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron in Colorado before he made comments on a podcast critical of Marxism, told Fox News it is sad that whenever the U.S. military makes the news, it is for items like the drag-themed recruitment videos.

You already know what’s happening. In Tennessee, the Legislature passed a bill that puts a stop to transgender surgeries for minors, and the Left went crazy. Not long after the bill passed, a biological female still living at home at 28 snapped, descending on a Christian school in a psychotic rage and killing three school staffers and three 9-year-olds before law enforcement gave her the suicide-by-cop she wanted. The shooter wrote a manifesto explaining the crime, which the police still refuse to release — a telltale sign that trans politics played a role. CORRECTION*

In late April 2022, the White House named Nina Jankowicz—who believed in the Steele dossier and considered the Hunter Biden laptop story Russian disinformation—its disinformation czar. But the Department of Homeland Security Disinformation Governance Board that Jankowicz headed lasted only four months; Jankowicz herself resigned after just three weeks.
