HEADLINES - RAW & UNVERIFIED |
My January 6 legal saga This is the first of a two-part series on the legal travails of Blaze Media contributor Steve Baker and his reporting surrounding the events of January 6, 2021. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recuses himself from Jan. 6 case The justice offered no explanation for the recusal, but many believe it may be due to one of his former law clerks, John Eastman, being a litigant in the case. Obama Judge Rejects Removal Of Fulton County Case To Federal Court Where Jeff Clark Could Get A Fair Trial The Fulton County circus is nonsensical — and precisely why Congress created removal jurisdiction for federal officials. Supreme Court case threatens left's unaccountable finance regulator The case challenges the funding structure of the powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which conservatives argue violates checks and balances by insulating it from oversight, allowing overreach; the court's ruling could undermine or even unravel the left's prized unaccountable regulator. Landmark Texas, Florida social media cases added to Supreme Court term The Supreme Court said Friday it would wade into the future of free speech online and decide whether to allow laws passed in Texas and Florida that would restrict social media companies from removing certain political posts or accounts. J6 Prosecutor’s Alleged Stabbing Rampage Exposes Our Failed Justice System Our rulers and persecutors may be acting like Nero, but it doesn’t mean we have to be their mob; we cannot meet injustice with more injustice. Democrat congressman carjacked in Washington’s Navy Yard Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, was carjacked Monday night in Washington's Navy Yard neighborhood, the latest high-profile crime to raise alarm in the nation's capital. As juvenile crime soars, DC attorney general targets conservatives instead As violent juvenile crime spikes in Washington, the left-wing AG is investigating a conservative leader out of state while asserting kids shouldn't face consequences. Philadelphia journalist who mocked crime concerns shot and killed at home In social media posts, Philadelphia journalist and activist Josh Kruger often mocked those who stated fears over violence and homicide deaths in the city. Infrastructure paralysis plagues once can-do California California, renowned for efficiently building acclaimed roads, bridges, and dams last century, now excels only at demolition as major projects like high-speed rail stall. Bloated bureaucracies, stringent regulations, and misplaced environmental priorities get the blame. US Postal Service unveils stamp honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg The stamps will costs 66 cents. |

Congress and Washington wonder if Biden and McCarthy cut secret Ukraine funding deal The suspicion is that Biden agreed to sign a stopgap federal government funding deal that did not include Ukraine aid he wanted to provide, in exchange for McCarthy agreeing to hold a stand-alone vote on that aid later. Gaetz introduces resolution to remove McCarthy from speakership The Florida Republican on Monday introduced a privileged resolution to oust House Speaker Kevin McCarthy amid frustrations with the California lawmaker's handling of budget negotiations. Here’s What Democrats Reportedly Want In Exchange For Helping Kevin McCarthy Keep His Job Democrats are planning on requesting several concessions from Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in return for their help if a motion to oust him is brought this week, Politico reported Monday. NY Times: Democrats Weigh Whether to Rescue McCarthy from His Fellow Republicans Party officials said that without promises to address their policy priorities, Speaker Kevin McCarthy should not count on Democratic votes to save him. The House Republicans joining Matt Gaetz's motion to oust McCarthy A motion to vacate only requires only five Republicans to succeed if all House Democrats vote to oust McCarthy. Marjorie Taylor Greene warns GOP that expelling Matt Gaetz 'will not be tolerated' "We are here because Congress operates on a calendar set up for producing annual failure," she added. Let’s face it: The GOP is the problem The right has a problem. It is not merely a Mitch McConnell or Kevin McCarthy problem. It’s a Republican Party problem. Conservatives will never have leverage to fight the issues that matter in any meaningful way until we find a new home. That is the stone-cold truth. Congrats! Gavin Newsom Picks The Perfect Democrat Is it really that weird that Laphonza Butler, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s pick to replace Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, lives in Maryland? CNN analyst hits Newsom for playing 'extreme' identity politics with Laphonza Butler appointment On Monday, Newsom announced that he chose Laphonza Butler to complete Feinstein's term. Butler is the president of Emily's List, a radical pro-abortion group, and a black LGBTQ woman. You never, under any circumstances, had to hand it to RFK Jr. The efforts of some on the right to elevate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a sane and laudable Democrat may now be backfiring, an entirely predictable turn that most people could have seen coming. |
