The woman accused of spitting on former U.S. Attorney Ed Martin in Washington, DC, may soon be heading to jail. Emily Gabriella Sommer has allegedly violated the conditions of her release after the incident and is accused of threatening Martin through posts on the X social media platform, the Daily Wire reported on Thursday, citing prosecutors and court documents. Video footage from May 8 shows the moment she approached Martin during his interview with Newsmax. “Who the fuck are you? You are Ed Martin,” she said before apparently spitting on him then walking away: Sommer was released without bail on May…
Elise Stefanik is finally back on the House Intelligence Committee. On Friday morning, Speaker Mike Johnson added the New York Republican back to the influential spy panel, after months haggling over how to return the GOP star to her coveted committee post. Stefanik was added to the committee under unanimous consent, along with Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.). The congressmember was originally set to maintain her seat on the Intelligence Committee this January, but gave up the assignment when she was tapped to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. President Donald Trump pulled his selection back in March due…
Video screenshot. As the world commemorates the 81st anniversary of D-Day, the White House shared a message to commemorate the day and honor the American and Allied forces who paid a tremendous price for their heroic actions. From the White House: In the pre-dawn hours of June 6, 1944, American and Allied forces stormed a 50-mile stretch of beach in Normandy, France, winning a crucial victory that turned the tide of World War II and changed the course of history. The largest amphibious invasion in history—Operation Overlord—was achieved through meticulous planning, utilizing 13,000 aircraft and gliders, 23,400 paratroopers, 5,000 ships…
The most powerful aspect of learning to lead better is that it transcends specific settings. It works in the hospital and the clinic, it works at home, it works with relationships, it works with your pets. Leadership is leadership is leadership. getty A point I like to make in my writing and keynotes is that leadership can be taught. I don’t think it’s a matter of talent or luck of the genetic draw. Yes, some people are seen as natural leaders, but that’s typically after years of growth and development—and the influence of family, community, church, sports teams, and the…
The Department of Justice announced a new Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The … MoreCopyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved There have been many “Firsts” in the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). The first director of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) was Sanford Bates who got the job in 1930. Charles Samuels was the first African American director and Kathleen Hawk Sawyer was the first woman director. Now, a Deputy Director has been named to the BOP and that too will be a first. According to an internal memo from the BOP, Joshua Smith was named…
“A nation divided against itself cannot stand,” said Abraham Lincoln. Sadly, I think that’s precisely the point. I recently flew with my friend Bill Maher to DC, where he was to have dinner with the Bad Orange Man. I was not attending the dinner, I was just along for the ride…but I was wholeheartedly in support of my friend exhibiting the courage to set an example and communicate to his audience (consisting of tens of millions) a desire to dampen the vitriol and rhetoric, and to telegraph that it accomplishes nothing to reside in our bubbles and hurl insults at…
President Donald Trump is reportedly considering selling the Tesla he purchased earlier this year — which was originally done in a show of support for Elon Musk — following Musk taking a turn, criticizing President Donald Trump over his support of the “big, beautiful bill.” White House officials have confirmed to various outlets that Trump is considering either selling or giving away the red Model S Tesla he purchased earlier this year. The Tesla currently sits outside the White House and is said to be available for use by staffers. Trump originally held an event in March showing support for…
Lawmakers with the ruling leftist Democratic Party in South Korea moved to pass legislation through the National Assembly potentially expanding the nation’s Supreme Court from 14 to 30 seats on Wednesday — hours after their leader, Lee Jae-myung, was inaugurated president. The conservative People Power Party (PPP) boycotted the subcommittee vote on amending the Courts Organization Act on Wednesday, protesting the proposal to dramatically reshape the structure of the nation’s top court during a period of intense political turmoil in the country. Multiple reports in South Korean media suggested that the Democrats arrived at 30 for their proposed number of justices…
Thursday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) criticized the Democratic Party for its willingness to turn a left-wing mob against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Texas Republican said, based on that public showing, it was apparent the Democratic Party was the party that “embraces violence.” Senator, it sounds to me like they have no problem on the left putting these guys’ lives in jeopardy. That is outrageous to me, and I frankly think we should pass legislation against it. “Yeah, look, that kind of rhetoric is really dangerous, and it’s really harmful,” Cruz replied. “And we’ve seen Democrats…
Thirteen House Republicans are urging Senate leaders to “substantially and strategically” improve clean energy tax credit provisions in the House-passed megabill. Led by Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), the lawmakers said they remain “deeply concerned by several provisions” that would aggressively phase down incentives from the Democrats’ 2022 climate law and add strict new supply chain requirements. Such steps could jeopardize billions of dollars in investments and thousands of jobs, companies and trade groups have said. The letter Friday from Kiggans and Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Juan Ciscomani of Arizona and Andrew Garbarino of New York, among others, comes as…
