Is this ok? Is this acceptable? Is this…calling for violence? Isn’t that a phrase we heard over and over for the past four years by the weaponized Biden Regime against regular Americans who spoke out against them? Regular Americans were deemed to be “calling for violence”. And yet, now we have this…. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls for violence as he says people must “fight” President Trump’s agenda “in the streets.” Not taken out of context, here’s the full clip: WATCH: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries calls for violence as he says people must “fight” President Trump’s agenda “in the streets.” pic.twitter.com/ZEEkhtIGbZ — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 31, 2025 Backup video here: BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries just called for violence against President Trump’s agenda, pushing for “fighting” in the streets: “We’re going to fight it legislatively. We’re going to fight it in the courts. And we’re going to fight it in the streets.” pic.twitter.com/IyuJi1kKFy — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 31, 2025 The Trump White House has already responded and demanded an apology: BREAKING: The White House DEMANDS an apology from Hakeem Jeffries for his inciting violence earlier today. pic.twitter.com/FpwgzVcQoQ — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) January 31, 2025 See the statement here: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 01/31/25 Will House Minority Leader Jeffries Apologize to the American People? At a press conference this morning in Brooklyn, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made a sick call for violence and incited his followers to “fight” President Trump’s agenda “in the streets.” Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?

Remember Tonya Harding? Figure skater, allegedly was involved in a conspiracy to “knee cap” Nancy Kerrigan because Nancy Kerrigan was better than her so if you can’t beat ’em, beat ’em with a collapsible baton right? Isn’t that how the saying goes? Well, Tonya is back and she’s on X now! And, let’s just say, time has not been easy on her: Hi everyone! I’ve finally figured out how to make an account on here!! I’m very excited to reconnect with you all(if anyone remembers me) With love,Tonya pic.twitter.com/lfhiwdeYbY — Tonya Harding (@itstonyaharding) January 29, 2025 Glad you finally figured out how to make an account in 2025 Tonya, it sure is tricky! Also, hilarious that you’re just moving on like nothing happened….let’s see, 1994, flash forward to 2025, that’s 31 years, that should be enough to pop up again right?  (Allllegedly….) Yes folks, she’s back and she’s just “blown away by all the support” she’s getting: I’m absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the amount of love and support I’ve received since I joined X last night! I love you all so much xoxo — Tonya Harding (@itstonyaharding) January 30, 2025 I know for sure my life was not complete until I could finally hear from Tonya Harding again now that she’s on X! Harding says she will never forget this great moment: This video is from the 1991 U.S. Nationals where I landed my first triple axel. I’ll NEVER forget this moment! It brings back so many great memories. pic.twitter.com/eGYXITkoh8 — Tonya Harding (@itstonyaharding) January 31, 2025 And I will never forget Nancy Kerrigan’s knee cap from getting busted in. But for the record, Harding vehemently denies that she had anything to do with that, although she did plead guilty to conspiracy to hinder the investigation: No. Tonya Harding did not personally strike or “knee cap” Nancy Kerrigan. The actual physical attack on Kerrigan occurred on January 6, 1994, at a practice rink in Detroit. A man named Shane Stant used a police baton (sometimes described as a collapsible baton) to hit Kerrigan’s right leg just above the knee. Here are the key points to keep in mind: The Attacker Shane Stant was hired by Tonya Harding’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckardt. Stant was the one who carried out the assault. Tonya Harding’s Legal Outcome Although Harding has long denied that she was directly involved in planning the attack, she eventually pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder the investigation into Kerrigan’s assault. Harding received probation, community service, and a significant fine. The United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) also banned her for life from participating in USFSA-sanctioned events. Nancy Kerrigan’s Injury Kerrigan was bruised but avoided long-term damage to her leg. She managed to recover quickly enough to win the silver medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. Because of its sensational nature, the story is often reduced to the incorrect shorthand of “Tonya Harding hit Nancy Kerrigan.” In reality, Harding did not physically attack Kerrigan herself; however, her involvement in the larger conspiracy (and subsequent guilty plea to hindering prosecution) remains a key part of the scandal. I hope that helps clear things up! Now here’s where it gets kind of weird… And I’m not searching out some grand conspiracy theory here, I’m just reporting. No less than 12 hours after Tonya Harding joins X, the American Airlines plane carrying the figure skating team goes down: Wait a minute. ????? ??????? joins X, and it just so happens that her first post is 12 hours before the collision between flight 5342 and the military Black Hawk that ?????? ??????? ?????? ??????? pic.twitter.com/xYjEgkyR50 — ????????? ?.?? (@Zen232) January 30, 2025 You can’t make this stuff up. Here was Nancy Kerrigan’s reaction: So yesterday former figure skater Tonya Harding makes an announcement on X that she has opened an account. Now the skater she had allegedly assaulted back in 1994 Nancy Kerrigan is speaking today at the Skating Club of Boston, whose members allegedly died in the DC plane crash… pic.twitter.com/AisUHXQph4 — Vision4theBlind (@Vision4theBlind) January 30, 2025 Wow, it’s 2025 and here I am covering Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. It feels like the 1990s all over again and I love it! From Fox News: Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan scandal While preparing to compete in the 1994 Winter Olympics, figure skater Kerrigan was attacked and struck in the knee with a baton, rendering her unable to participate in the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Investigators eventually found that Kerrigan had been attacked by a man named Shane Stant. Stant carried out the attack on Kerrigan, but Harding’s ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, her bodyguard, Brian Sean Griffith, and Derrick Smith, an associate of Shawn Eckhardt (another one of Harding’s bodyguards), together planned the attack. Harding, Kerrigan’s competitor, vehemently denied having any knowledge of the plan before it was carried out. Still, she later pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hinder the prosecution, charged for not coming forward with knowledge about the planned attack. Harding was sentenced to three years of probation and 500 hours of community service. She was also ordered to pay a fine of $160,000 and she was banned from the U.S. Figure Skating Association. Where is Tonya Harding now? Harding, now 53, struggled after being banned from skating. According to People, she was arrested twice — once for a DUI — and released a sex tape with Gillooly, her ex-husband, in the years following her criminal case. In 2002, she appeared on FOX’s Celebrity Boxing and sparred with Paula Jones, the Arkansas woman who sued former President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment. Harding met her husband in 2010 while having drinks with a friend shortly after returning home to Washington from Los Angeles. According to The New York Times, her now husband Joe Price was on the karaoke stage singing “Great Balls of Fire.” They welcomed a baby boy in February 2011. The release of the critically acclaimed movie “I, Tonya” in 2017 gave Harding a chance to retell her story in a different light.

Far-left Democrat Adam Schiff spent years representing his deep-blue state of California in the House of Representatives. After winning his Senate bid last year, however, he is now legislating from the upper chamber on Capitol Hill. At least one of his former colleagues from the other side of the aisle is clearly not impressed with how he is fitting in so far. Following Schiff’s combative questioning of Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, Sen. Devin Nunes (R-CA) weighed in on the performance, per Fox News: “The American people lost him in the United States House of Representatives. That was a gain for the House of Representatives. But I think the Democratic senators are now realizing that the circus has come to them,” former Congressman Devin Nunes said on “The Will Cain Show” Thursday. “I thought Adam Schiff was an embarrassment like he normally is. He clearly has an ax to grind with Kash Patel, because it was Kash on our team that made a mockery of this guy year after year after year for lying to the American people.” Schiff sparred with Patel during his confirmation hearing on Thursday, particularly over a recording of a song released by Jan. 6 Capitol riot inmates. While Schiff’s fellow leftists celebrated his line of questioning as effective, many other commenters determined that Patel handled himself admirably in the face of such aggressive questioning: I’ve been looking forward to watching Adam Schiff make a fool of himself while screaming at Kash Patel for a while now. It did not disappoint. Well worth 8 minutes of your time! I’d probably react like this too if one of the guys I was caught illegally spying on was about to… pic.twitter.com/Ts3ansvMgU — TheStormHasArrived (@TheStormRedux) January 30, 2025 Where is it written that a good and decent man like Kash Patel has to be subject to ridicule from a guy like Adam Schiff, who was pardoned bc of the crimes he committed against this country Who else wants Leader Thune to remove Adam Schiff from participating in these hearings pic.twitter.com/BvWNavbjOV — @Chicago1Ray (@Chicago1Ray) January 31, 2025 Adam Schiff appeared markedly unsettled during his exchange with Kash Patel. There appears to be concern from Schiff regarding the implications of Patel’s potential confirmation. Upon confirmation, thorough investigations may follow! Confirm Kash Patel! Let justice be served. pic.twitter.com/WDObUKhU9x — The Independent Major (@TheINDEPMajor) January 31, 2025 Adam Schiff is clearly terrified of Kash Patel and was WILDLY unprepared for this hearing. Lie after lie. Dude has nothing on Kash. What else is new from Adam Schiff? pic.twitter.com/ObWKa56g0k — AmericanPapaBear (@AmericaPapaBear) January 30, 2025 The Independent covered one exchange that showed Schiff at his most pugnacious: “I want you to turn around. There are Capitol police officers behind you. They’re guarding us. Take a look at them right now. Turn around,” said Schiff. “I want you to look at them if you can, if you have the courage to look them in the eye, Mr. Patel, and tell them you’re proud of what you did.” “Tell them you’re proud that you raised money off of people that assaulted their colleagues, that pepper sprayed them, that beat them with poles,” he added. “Tell them you’re proud of what you did. Mr. Patel, they’re right there. They’re guarding you today. Tell them how proud you are.” “That’s an abject lie,” said Patel. “I’ve never, never, ever accepted violence against law enforcement.” Following the song’s release, Patel bragged about its success on social media. “Buh Bye Miley, Taylor, Rihanna, and all the rest who spent Millions trying for the coveted Number 1 spot,” he wrote in 2023. “Hello new Music Mogul @realDonaldTrump. We just took a flame thrower to the music industry.” Trump took part in the recording, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance while the prison choir sang the national anthem. At his rallies, Trump would at times salute as the song played while images of the Capitol riot were shown on big screens. Like many of Trump’s nominees, Patel showed his loyalty by refusing to say the president lost the 2020 election. During questioning from Peter Welch, a Vermont Democratic Senator, Patel repeatedly refused to say that Biden won the election more than four years ago. “Can you say the words Joe Biden won the 2020 election?” Welch asked. “Joe Biden was the president of the United States,” Patel responded. “I can say the words Donald Trump won. I don’t like to say it, but I must say it,” said Welch. “And you cannot say that Joe Biden won the election.” “What I can say is the same for both of them, Senator, both of their elections were certified, and they are both… one was and one now is president,” Patel responded. Here’s a clip of Nunes’ remarks on “The Will Cain Show”:
