The House Just Voted to Create a Jan. 6 Commission. Such Investigations Are a Long American Tradition Time 2 hrs ago Olivia B. Waxman © Mostafa Bassim—Anadolu Agency/Getty Images Police face off with insurrectionists who forced their way into the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021. More than four months after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the House of Representatives voted Wednesday—over much Republican opposition—to approve legis...

View Comments So you think Congress is hopelessly divided and bipartisanship is the new third rail of politics? Consider the quiet movement by a fledgling group of Senators and House members to come to grips with one of the great mysteries of the Sept. 11 attacks. Politics sometimes manages to carve strange roads through rocky landscapes that can lead to unusual destinations. The path to Congressional bipartisanship in recent years, however, has been akin to a walk through an unlit room where ...

The Democratic chairman of the House homeland security committee, Bennie Thompson, from Mississippi, and the ranking Republican on the panel, John Katko, of New York, said the new body would be modelled on the 9/11 Commission. That panel, formally known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, was created in late 2002 and published its report in 2004. Authorities are still examining videos and photos from 6 January. Told by Donald Trump to “fight like hell” in...

Three months after rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Democrats and Republicans alike are responsible for a shameful failure to respond as hopes fade for a comprehensive review of the deadly assault on the seat of our government. A new attack on the complex by a lone actor took the life of another U.S. Capitol police officer on Good Friday, a tragic reminder of the ongoing threat to the force itself and the lawmakers they sacrifice to protect. While various congressional committees are investiga...

In reviewing the Biden administration’s catastrophic immigration proposals, the first question that should come to every American’s mind is, how does this benefit America and struggling Americans? This is especially true because the Biden immigration bill would likely result in the lawful admission of more than 100 million immigrants! Incredibly this fact has been ignored by the mainstream media, but we will explore the true magnitude of the Biden Amnesty shortly. News cov...

As House leaders haggle over the formation of a 9/11-style commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, a bipartisan group of senators is pressing ahead with a series of investigative hearings to scrutinize the security breakdowns that failed to prevent the deadly pro-Trump rampage.

From 9/11 to 1/6. Welcome to America’s new national terrorism commission. It’s hardly news that the nation wants to understand what took place nearly seven weeks ago when mobs of supporters of former President Donald Trump tore into the U.S. Capitol, trashing offices, killing one cop and beating up 140 others while also threatening staffers and elected officials and calling for the hanging of then-Vice President Mike Pence. As with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the violence of Jan. 6 was...

Joseph Prezioso/Getty Six weeks have passed since domestic terrorists — egged-on by Donald Trump in the waning days of his presidency — led a deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol, yet nobody really has a full picture of the events of the day, nor of who should be held responsible. That’s why U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is making the right call in pushing for a 9/11-type independent commission to investigate the Jan. 6 attack. The commission will “investigate and report on the facts a...
