Kyle DeFreytag, a veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department, who responded to the Capitol riot, was found dead.

This is the fourth case among those who responded to the 6 January attack on the Capitol said to have taken his own life. Earlier, another officer – Gunther Hashida, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith and Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood were also reported to have died by suicide.

The White House on Friday nominated Deborah Lipstadt, a Dorot professor of Modern Jewish history and Holocaust studies at Emory University, as an ambassador to monitor and combat anti-Semitism. However, the historian's older statements have resurfaced. In one such comment, she criticised Rep. Ilhan Omar's comments about Israel.

Earlier, in March 2019, Lipstadt waded into a debate over Omar after the Minnesota Democrat criticised pro-Israel Americans as having "allegiance to a foreign country.”

"Sadly, I believe it is. Dual loyalties are part of the textbook accusations against Jews. They are cosmopolitans, globalists, not loyal to their country or fellow citizens," Lipstadt said, while being asked at the time if Omar’s comments were "textbook anti-Semitism.”

❗️New York Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, including employees at his office, an investigation has found.

Announcing the results of the inquiry, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women who are current and former state employees. The investigation also found the governor and his team targeted a former employee who accused him of wrongdoing.

The scene outside the Pentagon appears under control, with swarms of police, emergency and medical services present.

Shortly after the investigation’s findings were published, the New York governor released a pre-recorded statement in which he claims never to have touched anyone inappropriately.

"I want you to know directly from me that I never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. I am 63 years old. I have lived my entire adult life in public view. That is just not who I am and that's not who I've ever been," Cuomo said.

As we all know Obama is going to throw a massive b-day party while Democrats are imposing unscientific mask mandates and contemplating more lockdowns on common people.

Can you imagine what all these elites would say if this party was for @real_DonaldJTrump ? But just look at what Jen Psaki had to say about the party during a White House briefing:

🗣 “This event, according to all the public reporting, is outdoors and in a moderate zone. But in addition, there is testing requirements and other steps they are taking, which I’m sure they can outline for you in more detail,” she said.

Are CDC guidelines optional if you are a Democrat? What do you think?

🇺🇸"Secret" donors have already poured millions of dollars into the 2022 US midterm election, a campaign finance watchdog group said, adding that the so-called dark money has largely gone to ad campaigns either attacking or defending President Joe Biden's legislative agenda.

“Dark money” refers to campaign spending where the source of the money is not disclosed, with donors typically hiding their identities behind politically active nonprofits and shell companies, according to OpenSecrets.org.
