The January 6 Select Committee, chaired by Democrat Bennie Thompson, appeared to have deceptively edited security footage from the Capitol Hill riot that unfolded on January 6th. Fox News host Tucker Carlson released new unseen footage showing scenes that ran contrary to some of the narratives put forth by the committee claiming it was an “insurrection”.

One particular piece of footage showed Jacob Chansley, a.k.a. the “Qanon Shaman” being calmly escorted through the Capitol by police officers – contrary to what was implied in the video put out by Thompson and Pelosi’s committee.

When pressed by Kerry Picket of the Washington Times if the committee had deceptively edited footage, Thompson denied it and added he did not know who Chansley was – further calling into question his credibility as chairperson for this select committee.

Thompson also claimed it wasn’t true that they selectively edited security footage to paint an image of insurrection – even though their tape on former President Donald Trump appeared to do just that. The tape showed Trump referring to his peaceful rally over a mile away but played over visuals of clashes between rioters and police – suggesting Trump praised them when he did not.

It is clear from this incident that Thompson and Pelosi’s committee were more interested in pushing their political agenda than providing an honest and impartial account of what happened at the Capitol Hill riot on January 6th – which is concerning for those looking for accountability in our government officials.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is delivering on his promise to make Florida the number one state in the nation. He’s protecting Floridians from job and vaccine mandates, providing tax relief, fighting illegal immigration, and investing in cancer research. He’s proving that he puts Floridians first by creating a safe environment for residents and visitors alike.

DeSantis has created an economic environment that encourages businesses to form in Florida with record-breaking numbers of new business formations. Also, more people are employed now than before the pandemic hit – making Florida one of the most desirable places to live and work.

Not only is DeSantis keeping Floridians safe but also he is making sure their wallets stay full too. His dedication to tax relief has resulted in over 1 billion dollars being put back into citizens’ pockets already this year. Plus, with Florida’s lowest per capita state tax burden among large states, everyone can rest easy knowing they won’t be burdened by high taxes.

Also, DeSantis has made sure Floridians have access to quality education with school choice laws that allow parents to decide where their children receive their education as well as increasing parental involvement in education – ranking first nationwide for these initiatives.

He is also fighting against illegal immigration by banning sanctuary cities, suing the Biden administration for catch-and-release policies, and transporting illegal aliens out of Florida into sanctuary jurisdictions so they can be taken care of properly without putting a strain on our resources here at home.

Finally, DeSantis launched his wife’s Cancer Connect Collaborative which will break down silos between researchers, cancer facilities, and medical providers to improve research and treatment options so those affected by cancer can get the best care in Florida.

As DeSantis says “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

President Donald Trump Jr. has called for tough anti-China regulations on all social media platforms to protect Americans’ private data from falling into the hands of the Chinese government. He says that any solution seeking to address privacy concerns with TikTok should also tackle national security issues posed by other companies who allow their data to flow through China.

Trump Jr. believes that U.S. data privacy laws are not enough and Congress needs to broaden its approach if they want to solve the problem properly. He suggested that no American data should be allowed through China for any social media company, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee is pushing a bill sponsored by Chair Michael McCaul which would allow President Joe Biden to ban TikTok from the United States altogether as a solution to national security risks posed by the platform. Sen Mark Warner, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is considering proposing a similar ban but targeting a broader “category of applications” instead of just one app specifically.

Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers commented on this issue saying “these efforts will continue with Tik Tok” and that ByteDance-owned TikTok has knowingly allowed access for Chinese Communist Party access American user data.” The federal government and several states have passed new laws restricting the use of TikTok on government devices. At the same time, negotiations between CFIUS and the company over a national security agreement remain ongoing.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew will testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on March 23rd about these issues in hopes of finding an acceptable compromise between both sides regarding US regulation of its platform and its potential risks to US security interests in mind.

Something must be done about these issues considering how much our personal information can be exposed when it flows through foreign countries with questionable motives or loyalties towards us citizens or our country at large. Hopefully, these talks with Chew will reveal more information about his company’s intentions in the future so we can better understand where we stand as far as being protected from unwanted foreign interference or invasion into our personal lives via technology goes moving forward.

The case of JayCee Cooper, a transgender weightlifter who is suing to be allowed to compete in the women’s category of USA Powerlifting, has been met with outrage by those who believe it is unfair and dangerous to allow biological men to compete against natural-born women.

This decision comes after Cooper began sending demanding letters and filed a lawsuit in state court back in 2019 after being denied the opportunity to compete as a woman. The Minnesota Human Rights Act was cited as part of his argument for why he should be allowed to compete under his “chosen gender.”

Last month, District Court Judge Patrick Diamond ruled in favor of Cooper’s attack on USA Powerlifting’s ban on transgender women, citing an “increased risk of depression and suicide, lack of access to coaching and practice facilities, or other performance suppression common to transgender persons” as competitive disadvantages for transgender athletes. This ruling gave USA Powerlifting two weeks to change its policies concerning transgender contestants.

This decision has caused much debate among those who are worried about the safety and fairness implications that allowing biological men into female sports could have. It also raises questions about how far these rules can go before they start infringing upon the rights of natural-born females.

Some argue that this ruling will give an unfair advantage to transgender athletes due to their higher levels of testosterone when compared with natural-born women. Others point out that this could lead down a slippery slope where we begin erasing hard-earned achievements from female athletes over time due to the increasing competition from trans athletes.

USA Powerlifting President Larry Maile said that their position had been aimed at balancing the needs of cisgender (non-trans) and transgender women whose capacities differ significantly in strength sports such as powerlifting. However, many are still concerned about what this decision will mean for female athletes going forward and how it will affect them both physically and mentally if they are unable to keep up with competitors who have different physiological advantages than them due simply based on gender identity rather than biology or skill level.

The Biden administration’s handling of the Chinese spy balloon incident has been nothing short of disastrous. The Pentagon denied an early request from the 11th Air Force in Alaska to shoot down the balloon before it entered U.S. airspace, allowing it to loiter over sensitive military sites for days and even cross over half of US territory before finally being shot down by American forces.

This failure to act swiftly is concerning and raises questions about why the military was not allowed to take decisive action when they first tracked the balloon “from far away” as reported by Sen Dan Sullivan.

What’s more, this incident comes after Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceled his trip to Beijing due to civilian sightings of the balloon in Montana, raising further questions about why U.S. authorities were unaware that a foreign surveillance device had crossed into U.S. airspace until civilians spotted it and notified higher authorities.

The Pentagon claims that it did not want to shoot down the balloon due to concerns about avoiding casualties on the ground or damage done by debris, despite most of its flight path being sparsely populated or over unpopulated ocean areas. This explanation does not make sense given that modern-day fighters are capable of taking out targets with precision and accuracy without causing collateral damage or destruction.

It is also clear that President Joe Biden was only briefed on this incident on March 1st – weeks after it had first entered U.S airspace – which shows how little attention this issue was given when it could have posed a serious security threat if left unchecked any longer than necessary.

This situation highlights how seriously our national security must be taken at all times and underscores just how important swift action can be in situations such as these where time is true of the essence and failure to act quickly can have severe consequences for our country’s safety and security going forward both domestically and abroad throughout other nations around the world as well.

Americans have long been taken advantage of by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The latest example of this is the investigation into China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) by the Department of Transportation Inspector General (IG). CRRC, owned and operated by the Chinese government, has profited off billions in American taxpayer money building rail cars for several cities across the United States.

The company was awarded a $138 million contract with Philadelphia to build 45 new rail cars, however, that project has been plagued with delays and hazardous production issues like “‘repeated failures of water-tightness tests,’ faulty interior panels, wiring issues, repeated brake test failures and ‘unsafe emergency exit windows.’”

In response to these allegations Representatives Sam Graves (R-MO), Rodney Davis (R-IL), and Rick Crawford (R-AR) asked the DOT IG to investigate whether CRRC was adhering to Buy American rules which require 70 percent of components be sourced from domestic manufacturers.

The result is an audit being conducted to assess how well Federal Transit Administration (FTA) oversees SEPTA’s compliance with Buy America standards as it relates to its contract with CRRC MA. This audit could potentially determine whether or not American taxpayers are getting what they paid for when it comes to these contracts.

Unfortunately, this isn’t likely going to be enough to stop future abuse from occurring as there is evidence that Chinese companies have already secured billions more in contracts across other major cities like Boston and Chicago. If allowed each one of those contracts will cost thousands of American jobs as every job created through these deals costs 3 – 5 additional jobs here at home according to Oxford Economics research.

It’s time we put an end to this type of foreign interference once and for all. It’s unacceptable that hardworking Americans are having their money used against them for China to benefit financially rather than our citizens. The investigation into CRRC needs to serve as an example that our government won’t tolerate any such behavior moving forward.

Pete Buttigieg, the Transportation Secretary in the Biden administration, is facing scrutiny for his relationship with disgraced former College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn. Wojahn was taken into custody last week on 56 child porn-related charges.

Shockingly, it has been revealed that Buttigieg and Wojahn had a close relationship. They had known each other for seven or eight years after meeting at a U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting in D.C., where Buttigieg was assigned to be Wojahn’s mentor.

Buttigieg continued to mentor Wojahn over the years, even attending White House receptions during the Obama administration with him and his husband Dave Kolesar – who also visited the White House several times since Biden became President earlier this year!

It’s outrageous that Pete Buttigieg would associate himself with someone like Patrick Wojahn – a man now charged with 40 counts of possession of exploitative child material and 16 counts of distribution of exploitative child material! How could anyone think it would be ok to spend time with such an individual?

This relationship makes us question whether Pete Buttigieg is fit for public office. It’s clear he has poor judgment when deciding who he associates himself with, which is not something we should expect from our leaders in government. We need people in power who are held accountable and have good moral standards – not those who excuse lousy behavior or look away from criminal activity.

Alex Murdaugh, a prominent and well-connected South Carolina attorney, has been found guilty of the double murder of his wife and son after a six-week trial. The jury unanimously convicted Murdaugh on two counts of murder, as well as two counts of possession of a weapon during a crime.

Murdaugh’s attorneys argued that law enforcement failed to conduct an appropriate investigation into the case. However, prosecutors pushed back against those claims and argued that Murdaugh had been withholding and obstructing justice by not admitting he was at the scene earlier in the day.

The saga began when Murdaugh’s wife, Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh, 52, and his son Paul Murdaugh 22 were found shot and killed outside the dog kennels at the family’s hunting lodge in Islandton, South Carolina. During Thursday’s closing arguments, it was revealed that a Snapchat video recorded by Paul showed Alex’s voice in the background shortly before their deaths.

In addition to this double homicide conviction, Alex is also facing nearly 100 charges for various financial crimes including fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, and forgery. He is accused of stealing more than $8 million from his former law firm and former clients as well as attempting to hire an assassin to kill him as part of a $10 million life insurance scam.

For these crimes, he faces 30 years to life in prison without parole for each murder charge as well as additional sentences for his other alleged offenses pending further court proceedings. This conviction serves as yet another reminder that no matter one’s power or influence within society they are still accountable under our laws when committing heinous acts such as these murders.

America is in the midst of a crime wave and President Biden’s potential move to sign a resolution that would terminate Washington, DC’s soft-on-crime law shows he has no interest in stopping it.

The Democratic Party has been trying to push through laws that reduce punishments for criminals across the nation, and this latest attempt in our nation’s capital is just another example of their irresponsible approach.

The D.C. city council passed the criminal law with penalties for serious crimes being reduced, overriding Mayor Bowser’s veto in the process. Since then, crime rates have drastically increased throughout the city – homicides are up 25%, vehicle theft 111%, theft from auto 21%, theft 16%, and arson 300%.

President Biden has gone against his party by saying he will sign the Republican resolution to block this dangerous D.C. law if it passes in the Senate – though it remains unclear if he will follow through on his word should enough votes come together to pass it. By doing so, Biden risks alienating far-left voters who may ultimately decide not to turn out at all during election season due to his stance on this issue.

It is clear Republicans are right when they accuse Democrats of being soft on crime: their approach seems more focused on coddling criminals instead of protecting innocent citizens who could become victims of these same offenders down the line.

We need leaders who can bring our cities back under control before tragedy strikes again – unfortunately, President Biden has yet to prove himself capable of doing just that by potentially signing off on a measure that weakens current laws rather than strengthens them.

Today, the Senate passed a resolution that would scrap President Joe Biden’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rule. The resolution passed 50-46 with two Senate Democrats voting with Republicans. This bill now goes to the President’s desk, where he will likely veto it.

The ESG rule is an attempt by Wall Street asset managers and activist investors to push private companies to adopt leftist positions such as combatting climate change, advocating racial justice, and diversity requirements. This has been seen in many cases across the country where these organizations have tried to make their agendas become reality.

Republicans are calling this move an attempt “to circumvent the democratic process to advance an inherently political agenda” and “to take advantage of hardworking Americans and attempt to circumvent the democratic process to push [their] agenda.” They have also expressed concern about how this will harm American workers if it were allowed to go forward.

It is expected that President Biden will veto this resolution when it reaches his desk, but Republicans are hopeful that they can get enough votes in Congress to override his veto. If they can do this, they will be able to stop the ESG rule from going into effect and protect American workers from being taken advantage of by Wall Street asset managers and activist investors looking for their own gain at others’ expense.
