Biggs: The January 6th Committee Kindly Asks You to Ignore the FBI Biggs: The January 6th Committee Kindly Asks You to Ignore the FBI From Rep. Andy Biggs, writing for Townhall.com : The Senate has acquitted President Trump of inciting any sort of riot on January 6th. The FBI has no evidence that the events of January 6th were coordinated, that President Trump had any involvement, or that his allies had any sort of inclination that individuals would enter the Capitol. And they will find none. In a matter of months, the committee will cease to exist. Many of its key players will no longer be members of the House, and its faux authority will be reduced to the ash heap of history. Its members are keenly aware of this reality, and they’d rather go down spouting vitriol and partisanship than go away quietly. NEWS & RELEASES .

CPAC Statement on SCOTUS Kennedy v. Bremerton School District Ruling CPAC Statement on SCOTUS Kennedy v. Bremerton School District Ruling Alexandria, VA — Today Matt Schlapp, Chairman of the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC), released the following statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District: “The decision of Kennedy v. Bremerton School District is a monumental step forward in protecting religious liberties and free speech in the United States. In this case, Coach Kennedy held a post-game prayer on the fifty yard-line. Kennedy had “not actively encouraged, or required, participation” in the prayer. For this, the Bremerton School District placed Coach Kennedy on administrative leave and recommended that Kennedy’s contract not be renewed the following season. “In its ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the most essential tenets of our republic: free speech and religious liberty – principles this country was founded upon. As the majority opinion stated, “the Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religion and nonreligious views alike.” No longer should government employees and contractors have their job security threatened for following their faith. This is a tremendous victory for religious liberties and free speech. “We also appreciate that Chief Justice John Roberts has decided that it is never judicial activism to simply uphold the clear reading of the Constitution.” ### NEWS & RELEASES .

New op-ed from Matt Schlapp: Election Day sent loud and clear message to America’s far-left progressives New op-ed from Matt Schlapp: Election Day sent loud and clear message to America’s far-left progressives The woke political movement was humiliated on Election Day by American parents, first-responder supporters and patriotic voters who are exhausted from the ubiquitous charge that everyone and everything in America is racist. Last year our country was pulled apart by the coronavirus , race riots and no-rules voting. A sad acceptance crept in with the perception that our country had embraced a very radical reimagining of itself. Socialists had a slim grasp on power after the strangest of elections and they took full advantage of it by jamming every piece of their agenda possible into an emergency spending measure and executive actions with little response from timid Republican judges. However, one thing remained constant: this radicalized Democratic party failed to convince voters that their ideas were beneficial to them and their families. American voters sent a message on Election Day , even from blue Virginia, that a Democratic party enamored by socialism is too strident and offensive for common sense Americans.
