I have long said that Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 Committee is a one-sided kangaroo court designed to keep former President Trump from running again in 2024, with two ‘never-Trumper’ Republicans to provide it a fig leaf of bipartisan cover. But when even CNN thinks it is, you know Democrats are in trouble. When the Chair of the Committee can’t point to any evidence that Trump in any way directed the January 6 Capitol Riot, the committee’s relevance fades even more. California Democrat Adam Schiff – who is the Chairman of the January 6th Commitee – joined CNN host Dana Bash…

I wish this was satire from Babylon Bee, but it is in fact, the latest dangerous Team Biden effort to empower the government to control conservative speech and criminalize words they don’t like when used against people they do like. Now they are focused on colluding with Big Tech media platforms to restrict our God-given and Constitutionally protected right to mock or criticize politicians and public figures regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or professed perversions. All this under the banner of combatting online harassment and abuse. According to a statement by President Biden, Vice President ‘Cackling’ Kamala Harris is leading…

While movie-goers and critics alike are praising the patriotic blockbuster sequel to the 1986 ‘Top Gun,’ the far-left is going ballistic over ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’ And they are angrily voicing their disgust, calling it unoriginal, unrealistic, fascist warmongering, even claiming documents show it secret Pentagon propaganda. This is despite the high acclaim most regular Americans are showering on this decidedly un-woke flick. As Sarah Sicard notes in Military Times: Since it landed full throttle in theaters on May 27 the long-anticipated “Top Gun: Maverick” has raked in more than $400 million at the domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing movie of the year.…

Heavily armed pick-up trucks as weapons of war became a thing during conflicts in Somalia, Libya, and Chad in the 1980s and 1990s. The latter conflict was known as the ‘Toyota War’ because of the widespread use of such vehicles by both sides. Now, they are being used to great effect by Ukrainians against Russia. As I wrote about here,‘technicals’ are “open-backed civilian pickup trucks or other four-wheel-drive SUVs mounting a machine gun, anti-aircraft gun, rotary cannon, anti-tank weapon, anti-tank gun or missile mortar, multiple rocket launcher, recoilless rifle, or other support weapon.” “And Toyota trucks seem to be the platform of choice for…

In a not-so-subtle message to China’s increasingly belligerent communist leaders, the head of Taiwan’s Legislative Assembly – You Si Kun – warned China that its domestically produced Yun Feng (Cloud Peak) supersonic cruise missile has the ability to reach Beijing. The warning came after China provocatively claimed ownership over the Taiwan Strait earlier this week. On Monday, Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for China’s foreign ministry, said ‘China has sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait.’ “It is a false claim when certain countries call the Taiwan Strait ‘international waters’ in order to find a pretext for manipulating issues related to Taiwan…

According to a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), as global tensions flare, the number of nuclear weapons in the world is set to rise for the first time since the Cold War. The nine nuclear powers had a combined total of 12,705 warheads in early 2022, down from 70,000 in 1986, but in 2021 the decline appears to have been mainly due to the U.S. and Russia dismantling warheads that had been retired from military service several years ago, while the number of operational weapons remained relatively stable. Still, SIPRI Director Dan Smith said in a statement that…
