It seems that even the most substantial election cases are subject to extraordinary levels of foot-dragging by courts, and VoterGA's Fulton County counterfeit ballot case is no exception. The multiple setbacks due to various opinions and delays in rulings in this case have caused considerable confusion on social media platforms over the timeline of the case and where it currently stands in the courts. Originally filed on Dec. 23, 2020, with ample evidence and affidavits, Petitioners now patiently await the court to assign a new judge pursuant to their motion to recuse Judge Robert McBurney from the case because of...

Christine Braley Ford is already pushing for removal of the one-week time limit senators agreed to Friday on a new FBI investigation of her allegation that Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually molested her 36 years ago at a high school party. Ford “welcomes this step in the process,” her attorney, Debra Katz, said in a statement.

Presidents before him earned their presidential chops dealing with diplomats, senators and assorted supplicants with good manners and proper deference, and the Donald absorbed the...

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton suggested Republicans should literally force Democrats to vote on President Trump’s nominees Tuesday, by ordering the sergeant at arms to “haul” them into the committee room.“I don’t know how long they plan to do this,” Cotton said on the Senate floor, after Democrats began a “boycott” of committee-level votes on several of Trump’s nominees. “I don’t know if they intend to abscond out of the District, if we’re going to have to vote to have the sergeant at arms track them down, haul them to work to do their business.”The sergeant at arms takes orders from the...

As Tuareg rebels battle radical Islamists with heavy weapons for control of the northern Mali city of Gao, Mali and the other 15 nations of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are planning a military offensive designed to drive both groups out of northern Mali in an effort to re-impose order in the region and prevent the six-month old conflict from destabilizing the entire region. So far, however, operational planning has not been detailed enough to gain the approval of the UN Security Council for authorization of a Chapter Seven military intervention, leaving ECOWAS and the African Union...
