Four years ago, the media enjoyed covering the phenomenon of so-called Never Trumpers; Republicans who wouldn’t vote for Donald Trump. There was speculation that these voters, many well connected to the Washington establishment, would put the icing on the electoral cake for Hillary Clinton. Of course, this notion proved fanciful. The Never Trumpers are back in 2020. They’re no greater in number, but the media has gobbled it up again. But there’s another group of Republicans: those who enthusiastically supported GOP candidates other than Donald Trump before he was nominated. They remained cautious about Trump even after the Republican National...

Have been considering getting a radio scanner so I can hear local police and first responder traffic. Curious if this traffic has been encrypted or is transmitted over cellular networks? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

HELL—In a bid to increase torture in the afterlife, managers of Hell confirmed today that Kamala Harris's grating cackle will be played over the loudspeakers in the place of perpetual torment for all eternity. "Effective immediately, we are no longer playing Limp Bizkit 24/7," said one spokesperson. "We are switching to the Kamala cackle. Studies have shown this is the most effective way to punish people for their sins." People in hell quickly filed a lawsuit claiming this form of torture is "cruel and unusual," even for people who offended a holy God. The only judge who hears such cases,...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is facing new allegations of antisemitism after he threatened to cut off public assistance to yeshivas, or religious seminaries, this weekend, and added that some Jews had “never complied” with coronavirus rules. New York CBS affiliate WLNY reported: As enforcement ramps up in the city’s COVID-19 cluster zones, the governor again made it clear on a telephone conference call on Thursday who he felt the problem was. “Some of the complexity in the enforcement here, especially with members of the ultra Orthodox community. They have never complied with the rules,” Cuomo said. The governor’s words...

Most Democrat in 2020 have no conceptual understanding of what voting Democrat actually means. Californians are fleeing in record numbers for red states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada. New York City is emptying out as people with means relocate; many are going to Florida. For reasons only the Heavens know, there are normal people still living in Portland. It is not hard to see what is happening: People are fed up with the overreach of Democrat-monopolized government. Their policies are inhibiting the possibility of retaining personal independence and achieving any sense of self-fulfillment. This is on top of not being...

We all know someone who, when it comes to politics, simply can’t let it go. Whatever it is – how you vote compared to them, some politician you like that they hate, a single issue on which you disagree – they simply can’t get past the difference. The obsession has ruined friendships and families. The thing that is new in year of the pandemic of Trump Derangement Syndrome is it’s ruining businesses now, too. I’d never heard of Expensify before this weekend. It’s apparently a company that helps people and companies keep track of their expenses. It’s likely not a...

Ohio may be a red state with a Republican governor and state legislature, but the Ohio Department of Education kicked off this school year by promoting far-left, racialist, anti-police propaganda in the form of its recommended “Anti-Racist Allyship Starter Pack,” a resource for social studies teachers. The starter pack contains about 200 links to “antiracist” op-eds, essays, and blog posts, which exemplify what President Trump meant when he spoke of a “left-wing cultural revolution” in our schools “designed to overthrow the American revolution” in favor of “far-left fascism.” The ODE recommended an article on “The Souls of White Folk.” The...

It all went exactly according to plan. The senators all got their allotted time to pontificate and whine on the Senate floor; Mitch McConnell was able to sum everything up, excoriating the Democrats for their pathetic petulance and rank hypocrisy; 52 Republican senators did the right thing and voted to confirm the new Supreme Court Justice; 47 Democrats were joined by despicable RINO Susan Collins in voting against her; and finally, exactly one month to the day after she was nominated and eight days before Election Day 2020, Amy Coney Barrett was sworn in as the 115th associate justice to...

[snip] It turned out that biased press coverage wasn’t enough to keep Mr. Trump from winning. So for 2020 the press introduced a new corollary: Joe Biden must never be asked a tough question. [snip] This see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil approach to Mr. Biden started with Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who accused the candidate of having sexually harassed her in 1993, when she’d worked for him. [snip] Or what about the Associated Press? In September it revised its stylebook to say reporters should use the term “unrest” instead of “riots” to describe the criminal violence in cities from Portland,...

The Hunter Biden laptop at the center of the political scandal had a sticker on it with the name of the Beau Biden Foundation. The sticker has been widely reported, but not its full name. The full name of the foundation named after Joe Biden’s son and Hunter Biden’s brother is the Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children. It’s both tragic and disgusting then that Rudy Giuliani has alleged that the laptop contained material involving underage girls. It’s unclear if the Hunter Biden laptop actually belonged to the Beau Biden Foundation, but the The Mac Shop, at the...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.fox5ny.com/news/with-coronavirus-cases-soaring-newark-reinstates-curfew So in Newark they want gyms to close for 30 minutes for a thorough cleaning every hour. I think this regulation is in the top 1% of idiotic Coronavirus rules. I challenge anyone to show me 5 rules that are more idiotic than this one. - Deaths still dropping in Texas and all I hear is crickets from Governor Abbott. - https://thehighwire.com/state-big-pharma-moves-aggressively-against-parents-rights/ Above is a link to some article I refuse to read that discusses making vaccines mandatory for kids such that parental consent is not needed.

A caravan of vehicles stretching for six miles departed Tremonton, Utah, on Saturday to show support for President Donald Trump. More than 100 cars were estimated to have taken part in the “Utah I-15 Trump Train” that eventually made its way to St. George, according to the St. George News. “Along the way, the Trump Train grew as it picked up new vehicles as their drivers joined the flag-waving caravan,” the outlet said. Crowd Surfing host Farrell Lafferty shared video footage on YouTube of participants gathering for the parade:

"I'm just glad to see that the process is beginning to really do the investigation into Rudy Giuliani. He has clearly broken many laws." Sen. @KamalaHarris - I don't know ... I believe ...

As Amy Coney Barrett takes her seat on the Supreme Court, much will be made of the new “6-3 conservative majority.” That is a flawed observation for two reasons. First, the inclusion of Chief Justice John Roberts in that majority is proving to be a dicey presumption. Second, the description of those justices as “conservative” misses the point of what they are supposed to do. They are not there to oppose Obamacare, stand up for man-woman marriage or assist the pro-life agenda. Those are conservative interests, properly pursued through the crafting of law. The Supreme Court’s job is to assess...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar on Monday tweeted 'expand the court' just moments after Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed by the Senate. Cortez added: 'Republicans do this because they don't believe Dems have the stones to play hardball like they do. And for a long time they've been correct. But do not let them bully the public into thinking their bulldozing is normal but a response isn't. There is a legal process for expansion.' Her initial tweet was reposted by fellow squad member Ilhan Omar, who also wrote: 'Expand the court.' House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said: 'Should we expand the...

“I’m not telling you not to wear a mask,” Paul said at a rally for Nick Freitas, a Republican candidate for Congress in central Virginia, which was streamed on Freitas’ Facebook page. “The cloth masks… I’m just telling you the truth, they don’t work. Ninety-seven percent of viruses go through a cloth mask.”Paul did not cite at the time where he got this figure. But his office sent a tweet from Paul last month sharing a 2015 study that found particle penetration of cloth masks was 97 percent. Not noted, however, was that the authors of the study revisited it...

Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the judicial oath to Amy Coney Barrett on Tuesday following her confirmation to the Supreme Court on Monday evening. The Supreme Court announced that Roberts will give the judicial oath to Barrett in a private ceremony Tuesday after she was officially confirmed by the Senate in a 52-48 vote. “Upon administration of that oath, she will be able to begin to participate in the work of the Court,” the Supreme Court release states. Barrett will be recognized in a formal ceremony at a special sitting of the Supreme Court “at a later date.” The...
