Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson cast doubt on the Democratic Party’s characterization of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot during a Monday episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Democrats have compared the riot to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 and labeled it an “insurrection” spearheaded by President Donald Trump. Hanson, however, pushed back on multiple aspects of their narrative on the Daily Signal show, asserting it all “seems inaccurate.” (RELATED: New FBI Footage Shows RNC, DNC Pipe Bomber Suspect From Day Before Jan. 6)WATCH: [embedded content] “Everything that we’ve been told by that narrative from the…

As a member of the Pentagon Press Corps, we have raised this issue with USAF management and look forward to their response on measures taken to address this serious threat. If I was a domestic airbase commander, or overseas theater commander, this would give me nightmares — an 18-wheeler pulls up a click from an airbase, the top opens, and scores of armed drones fly out, targeting your aircraft lined up on the ramp. Think billions in American force projection capability destroyed in a few minutes…at home, or abroad…irreplaceable. Operation Spider Web by Ukraine* (aided by the West obviously) against…
Former Democratic Georgia state Rep. Karen Bennett was charged Monday with fraudulently acquiring COVID-19 pandemic-era unemployment benefits, according to news coverage.

After President Donald Trump’s removal of Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, the U.S. has emerged as the “master of the hemisphere” and is positioned to leverage the Latin American nation’s resources to outpace China, Russia and Canada in the coming years, energy sector experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation. American energy companies essentially built and led innovation within the Venezuelan oil industry from the 1900s until the early 21st century, when former socialist dictator Hugo Chávez nationalized the industry. Chevron is now the only major U.S. company operating in Venezuela, and Trump’s move to “run” or otherwise influence the…
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will be tightening its licensing requirements for drivers as pressure mounts to boot poorly vetted migrants from the trucking industry. The major federal agency is working with its contracted trucking providers to “phase out” the use of non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) operators who have not been thoroughly screened by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, according to a statement released late Monday. USPS says the move is in line with the Department of Transportation’s efforts to tighten regulations over non-domiciled CDLs.

The death of the mainstream media, at least the TV part of it, is much closer than you think. Comcast, which desperately wanted to be in the cable news (so desperately it gave Al Sharpton a job) just as desperately doesn’t want to be in the cable business so it ‘spun off’ or dumped its cable business into a company called Versant.

President Donald Trump delivers remarks at the House GOP member retreat at 10 a.m. ET on Jan. 6. …
Come on, man. We all know why.John Fetterman does as well, surely, but he made the rhetorical point this morning on Fox & Friends. The deposing of a narco-trafficking usurper propped up by Cuba, Hezbollah, and the cartels has opened a path to liberation for Venezuela and seriously damaged the nefarious networks Nicolas Maduro operated and relied upon for power. Even if one has rational reservations about the potential consequences, it doesn’t negate Fetterman’s point. Why pretend that Maduro’s capture is a bad outcome?

This might just take the cake for the 2025-26 college basketball season when it comes to peak awkwardness. Michigan State dominated USC with an 80-51 blowout victory Monday night, but while the action on the court lacked suspense, we had crazy drama in the stands.The game coincided with the annual Izzone Alumni Night, bringing a host of former Spartans back to East Lansing to celebrate head coach Tom Izzo. Ex-Michigan State center Paul Davis was among those in attendance, but he didn’t make it to the end of the game, and it certainly wasn’t his decision to leave early. (RELATED:…

Greetings, Dear Reader, Big Timbo is out. There’s only one real way to interpret his sudden withdrawal from the governor’s race. TIM WALZ’S LITTLE SECRET Whatever you’re thinking about the fraud that’s captured America’s attention lately, I can assure you, it’s 100x worse. Tim Walz just essentially resigned the governorship of Minnesota. In a press conference yesterday, he announced that he was opting to end his re-election campaign. Just a year ago, Tim was considered a shoo-in for a third term. He was even the party’s VP nominee. Despite losing, his moves later as governor showed that he still had national…

Comedy Central host Jon Stewart praised President Donald Trump Monday, saying former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro “oversaw a repressive regime” before he was “reverse-ICEd.” Trump announced in a Saturday post on Truth Social that federal law enforcement officers arrested Maduro and his wife in Caracas while military units, including the United States Army’s elite Delta Force commando unit, protected the operation.

I feel bad for the President. He is out here today doing what I’m sure will be his best to rally them for 2026. The reason I feel bad is they don’t want to be rallied or successful.

Protests against Iran’s murderous Islamic regime continued across the country for a ninth straight day over the weekend, as nationwide unrest intensifies and the government struggles to maintain control. Demonstrations have now spread to multiple cities throughout Iran, with citizens openly defying the Islamic Republic and targeting its symbols of power.

The evil regime has already murdered dozens of brave, innocent protesters, mostly young students. One of the most heartbreaking cases circulating online involves…
Utah state officials have urged a judge to lift a longstanding block on the state’s abortion ban, a move that pro-life advocates say would protect unborn babies by allowing the life-saving law to finally take effect. The Utah Attorney General’s Office filed a motion for summary judgment this week, asking 3rd District Court Judge Charles Stormont to dissolve a preliminary injunction that has kept the ban on hold since 2022. The law, passed by the Republican-led Legislature in 2020, prohibits most abortions from the earliest stages of pregnancy, with exceptions only for rape, incest or when the mother’s life is…

After years of heading in the wrong direction, nobody can deny that the United States is facing overwhelming problems. So why don’t we focus on fixing those problems first? The truth is that we can’t do everything because our resources are very limited. U.S. households are more than 18 trillion dollars in debt, and the federal government is more than 38 trillion dollars in debt. Even though we have literally stolen trillions upon trillions of dollars from future generations, our major cities are rapidly decaying, our infrastructure is crumbling, corruption is rampant, the middle class is shrinking, most of the population…
