FBI Under Fire After Blaze Report Links Ex-Capitol Officer to Jan. 6 Bombs

By Steve Baker and Joseph M. Hanneman | The Blaze A computer program that compared the bomb suspect’s gait to that of Shauni Kerkhoff produced a 94% match. A forensic analysis of a female former U.S. Capitol Police officer’s gait is a 94%-98% match to the unique stride of the long-sought Jan. 6 pipe-bomb suspect, according to a Blaze News investigation confirmed by several intelligence sources. A source close to a congressional investigation of Jan. 6 additionally told Blaze News evidence has emerged recently that pointed toward law enforcement possibly being involved in the planting of the pipe bombs. ‘They were f**king in on it.’ A software algorithm that analyzes walking parameters including flexion (knee bend), hip extension, speed, step length, cadence, and varian...

ICE Labels Democrat Lawmakers’ Oversight Claims “Completely Absurd”

By Brandon Richard | Denver7 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has responded to criticism the agency received from members of Colorado’s Democratic delegation following a tour of an Aurora detention facility Monday, accusing the lawmakers of demanding special treatment and “making up lies.” Representatives Jason Crow (CO-6), Brittany Pettersen (CO-7), Joe Neguse (CO-2) and Diana DeGette (CO-1) paid a visit to the ICE facility Monday, claiming they faced obstacles in conducting routine oversight. Crow claimed an “unacceptable” lack of transparency during the tour, which was granted three weeks after the congressman said he was denied access for an unannounced visit. ICE on Tuesday pushed back on those claims in a statement to Denver7 political reporter Brandon Richard. ...

Aurora ICE visit leaves Colorado Democrats with more questions than answers

By Gabrielle Franklin | KDVR.com DENVER (KDVR) — A handful of Democrats in Colorado’s congressional delegation went inside the GEO ICE facility in Aurora on Monday. The visit comes as they try to gain clarity and access from the Trump administration about what is going on there. They spoke with members of the press after the visit to share what they say they saw. Democratic U.S. House members from Colorado visited the ICE facility, saying they left the building with more questions than answers. “When I walked through the facility, it felt like a prison,” Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen said at a press conference following the visit. The Colorado Democratic congressional members said the GEO ICE facility in Aurora has changed since the last time they went inside it. “Afte...

Hancock: The beauty of balance between urgency, authority and the republic

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Reclaiming the Wisdom of a System Built for Both Crisis and Constraint One of the most brilliant features of the U.S. Constitution is its recognition of human nature—not just in its vices, but in its limitations. The framers didn’t just aim to prevent tyranny; they aimed to build a system that could govern well even though no institution—or person—is omniscient or omnipotent. It’s a humility baked into the structure. That’s why Congress makes the laws, and the President executes them—two separate powers working together. But what the Constitution also quietly acknowledges is that not every problem can be solved by committee. In a world where markets shift overnight, threats emerge in real time, and global actors often cheat the syste...

Rand Paul introduces bill to audit the Federal Reserve after $2.5B renovation uproar

By Washington Examiner Staff | Washington Examiner Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) introduced legislation on Thursday calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve. The senator’s proposal comes after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has faced scrutiny for the $2.5 billion in renovations he authorized for two federal buildings in Washington, D.C. Paul’s bill, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, would require a complete audit of all of the Federal Reserve’s operational activities and mandate an enhancement of its decision-making through increased congressional oversight. The Comptroller General of the United States would complete the audit and include an inspection of “the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of Federal Reserve banks,” acco...

Intel chair demands release of secret report on 2016 Russia hoax

By Jerry Dunleavy | Just the News The GOP House Intelligence Committee Chairman is critiquing the Trump CIA director's review of the Intelligence Community's assessment on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. And the CIA is pushing back. The Republican chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) has sent a letter directly to President Donald Trump telling him that CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s recent memo – which offered some critiques of the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of Russian meddling in the 2016 election – was a “whitewash” that “protects the deep state,” Just the News learned Thursday. Ratcliffe on Wednesday morning released a “lessons learned” review of the December 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA)...

Musk rips House-passed ‘Big Beautiful Bill’: “Disgusting abomination”

By Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire "Shame on those who voted for it." On Tuesday, tech billionaire Elon Musk unleashed his ire at the House-passed version of the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” which has the blessing of his former boss, President Donald Trump. The massive bill, which is now being considered by the Republican-led Senate, contains many provisions in line with Trump’s second-term agenda, but also is estimated to add trillions of dollars to the national debt, already nearing $37 trillion. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk said in a post on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” He added in another post, “It...
