Ray Epps, the former Marine Sergeant from Arizona at the center of a controversy that sees him as a potential informant for the FBI, or asset for another government agency, was video taped inciting others to riot at the Capitol on January 6. But he didn’t only incite rioting, the Trump cap-wearing Epps specifically and repeatedly encouraged others to breach and enter the Capitol building. His behavior was so contrived that many in the crowd at the Capitol began yelling that he was a “Fed.” However, not only has he not been charged with any crimes, but his photo, which…

Florida governor Ron DeSantis is having a blast poking fun at the far-left Democrats who are fleeing their own oppressive COVID lockdown policies for the freedom of Florida. “If I had a dollar for every lockdown politician who decided to escape to Florida over the last two years, I’d be a pretty doggone wealthy man, let me tell you,” DeSantis joked at a press conference one week ago. “I mean, Congress people, mayors, governors, I mean you name it.” (RELATED: DeSantis Gives Perfect Response to Media Obsessed With January 6th) Fox News reported: That remark was made after progressive Rep.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, the newly appointed chief of the British defense staff, believes Russia could target this vital global network of internet cables responsible for carrying 97 percent of international communications. This could potentially ‘black out’ the west. According to the Daily Mail, he said there had been ‘a phenomenal increase’ in Russian submarine activity over the past 20 years, adding: ‘Russia has grown the capability to put at threat those undersea cables and potentially exploit them.’ Asked whether destroying cables could be considered an act of war, Britain’s most senior military officer said: ‘Potentially, yes.’ SEE ALSO: PDB – Biden Blames…
If Republicans retake the House majority in 2022 – as is increasingly expected – House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will likely become Speaker and plans to remove far-left Democrats Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from their respective House committees. Democrats set this new standard with their removals of Republicans Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) from their committees last year and McCarthy has said that his party will not hesitate to use this same standard against Democrats. Republicans also point to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to seat two of McCarthy’s picks for the Jan. 6…
The U.S. Army will decide this summer on its next generation infantry rifle – its first new all-purpose infantry weapon in decades. Three companies were competing to replace both the venerable M4 (M-16 carbine variant) rifle, and the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), with one rifle, reports Defense News (DN). The three Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) prototypes made by Sig Sauer, Textron Systems, and General Dynamics Ordnance (initially partnered with Lone Star Future Weapons/True Velocity), were tested in September 2021. The next prototype test will be in February 2021. SEE ALSO: American-Made Weapons Flood Afghan Gun Shops The NGSW rifle and automatic rifle are expected to be selected…
ANALYSIS – In the ongoing attempt to force-feed Americans the notion that the mob attack on the Capitol was an “insurrection” rather than a riot, CBS News published the results of its latest highly flawed poll. In her tweet on the poll, CBS reporter Kathryn Watson shows a graphic with only four options. https://twitter.com/kathrynw5/status/1479102134712897548?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1479102134712897548%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Famericandefensenews.com%2F2022%2F01%2F08%2Fcbs-news-poll-on-jan-6-doesnt-include-riot-as-an-option-hides-that-most-americans-say-it-was-just-a-protest-that-went-too-far%2F According to this snapshot of the poll, Americans could only decide between the incident on January 6 being an “insurrection” or “attempt to overthrow the government,” or “patriotism” or “defending freedom.” Of course, the numbers were split between Democrats and Republicans with most Democrats (85%) favoring the…
