Garland seeks to trample Americans’ due process rights to get Trump

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist The release of the special counsel report by the attorney general would severely prejudice the due process rights of the individuals identified in that report, a brief filed late Saturday in a Florida federal court argued. All eyes now rest on Judge Aileen Cannon’s docket to see how she responds to this weekend’s bombshell filing. The flurry of court filings began exactly one week ago when Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira filed two emergency motions to enjoin the release of the special counsel’s report. Special Counsel Jack Smith had indicted Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in the Southern District of Florida for alleged crimes related to Trump’s retention of classified documents.  Last year, presiding judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charge...

Eight bombshell findings in Florida’s grand jury report on big pharma’s Covid shots

By Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist On Tuesday, a Florida grand jury released its final report on potential “criminal or wrongful activity” regarding the creation and promotion of the Covid jabs. Requested by Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and authorized by the Florida Supreme Court in December 2022, the grand jury was tasked with looking into whether individuals and entities, “including, but not limited to, pharmaceutical manufacturers (and their executive officers) and other medical associations or organizations” possibly violated state law related to the development, clinical testing, and marketing of the mRNA shots. The jury previously released interim reports in February and May 2024, respectively, which undercut much of the ps...

Davidson: The legacy of Jan. 6 should be massive reform of the FBI and DOJ

By John Daniel Davidson | Commentary, The Federalist Monday marked the four-year anniversary of Jan. 6, 2021, when tens of thousands of peaceful Trump supporters demonstrated outside the U.S. Capitol and a small number of them clashed with police before entering the Capitol itself. For Democrats and the left, Jan. 6 is the events that vindicates their hatred of Donald Trump and his supporters. They would have us believe it was among the darkest days in our nation’s history, when democracy itself hung in the balance and violent insurrectionists nearly prevented the peaceful transfer of power. Many of them actually believe and still repeat, as Sen. Amy Klobuchar did on Monday, that pro-Trump rioters killed police officers on Jan. 6. Above all, they insist that President Trump was...

Cleveland: Efforts to sentence Trump in sham NY criminal case confirm Democrats’ crazy lawfare

By Margot Cleveland | Commentary, The Federalist The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts was pure lawfare. On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan entered an 18-page order denying Trump’s motion to vacate the jury verdict and to dismiss the criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought against him with the help of several Biden-connected lawyers. Quoting the words President Biden used in pardoning Hunter for any crimes his so...

Lyman: Here’s who Biden’s FBI decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist Imagine how much worse Wednesday’s deadly event would have been had the FBI not taken dangerous grandmothers off the street? Early Wednesday morning, a radical Islamic terrorist drove his truck through a crowd of people celebrating the start of the new year in New Orleans. Fifteen people were murdered and more than 35 injured. But maybe this tragedy could have been avoided if the FBI spent less time targeting parents, Catholics and countless other dissidents and instead focused its resources on catching actual  terrorists. Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag before shooting at police officers, who fatally shot Jabbar. Jabbar “recently converted to Islam” and ...

China rapidly builds up weapons and psychological warfare operations

By Chuck DeVore | The Federalist China’s military buildup and cognitive warfare strategy are clear indications of its intent to defeat the U.S. and its allies by any means necessary. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology. The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower....

Fleetwood: How Trump can restore integrity and lethality to America’s declining military

By Shawn Fleetwood | Commentary, The Federalist Americans are ‘sick of the possibility that the conflicts in which the military fights might not be worthwhile, and that’s devastating to recruitment.’ t’s safe to say that America has suffered greatly under the Biden-Harris administration. From a wide-open southern border to economic hardship, the laundry list of pains inflicted upon the public have been nothing short of horrific. While no institution has been spared from these radical policies, there’s one in particular whose suffering Americans who care about the future security of the United States should take heed of: the military.

3 million ‘temporary’ migrants will now sway congressional seats thanks to Census Bureau change

By Beth Brelje | The Federalist The U.S. Census Bureau will now count refugees and border releases in its population estimates, a move that will affect congressional apportionment and demographic data. In a blog post Thursday announcing the change, the bureau noted, “a net of 2.8 million people migrated to the United States between 2023 and 2024. This is significantly higher than our previous estimates.” The data offers a glimpse of how congressional apportionment maps could change by 2030. It also shows how, as U.S. citizens flee states with garbage leftist policies, the inclusion of noncitizens in census data allows those states to keep congressional seats because their population is propped up by illegal aliens. Every 10 years, shortly after the census, the congressional a...

By M.D. Kittle | Commentary, The Federalist I can only imagine how much delusion filled the room of the PolitiFact “brainstorming” session to choose the “winning” selection of its latest “Lie of the Year.” Bonchie at RedState nailed it with a post on X musing about what the meeting must have looked like through the eyes of a fresh-faced intern yet to realize that PolitiFact is nothing more than a leftist propaganda operation.  READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE FEDERALIST

House Republicans refer Liz Cheney for federal criminal investigation

By Tristan Justice | The Federalist House Republicans recommended disgraced ex-Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney face a criminal investigation related to “witness tampering” as vice chair of the illegally established and since disbanded Select Committee on Jan. 6. Previous documents released by congressional investigators reviewing the Jan. 6 panel’s work revealed Cheney coordinated with the Select Committee’s star witness, Cassidy Hutchinson, using the encrypted Signal app. The pair communicated to circumvent Hutchinson’s own attorney, Stefan Passantino, whom the Jan. 6 Committee ultimately targeted with an operation intended to strip him of his law license. Passantino was cleared of any misconduct following multiple investigations from ethics watchdogs. In the House interim repo...
