Something different happened along the Rio Grande. Republicans ran up their numbers in the overwhelmingly Hispanic, reliably Democratic counties along the border... The shift extended through the more than 1,200-mile border, from the populous lower delta of Brownsville and McAllen to the sparse ranchland near Laredo and the high desert of El Paso. Biden won majorities in most counties, but by dramatically smaller margins than Hillary Clinton in 2016. Clinton won Starr and Hidalgo counties by commanding margins — 60 and 40 percentage points, respectively. Biden won Starr County by five points and Hidalgo by 17. The bluest of blue...

VATICAN CITY — A highly anticipated Vatican report found on Tuesday that Pope John Paul II had rejected explicit warnings about sexual misconduct by Theodore E. McCarrick, now a disgraced former cardinal, choosing to believe the American prelate’s denials and misleading accounts by bishops as he elevated him to the highest ranks of the church hierarchy. ... Given Mr. McCarrick’s long career — as a priest in New York, archbishop of Newark and a Washington cardinal with a national and international profile — the 449-page report had the potential to engulf three separate papacies in scandal. Since the abuse carried...

Attorney General Barr just mobilized the Department of Justice to engage as appropriate to investigate election fraud throughout America. He is on solid legal ground. It is a very simple means of addressing the greatest attempted political theft in American history, and I would rather be we, Trump Nation, than they, the Democrat party's illegal operatives. This is because President Trump and his team laid the legal ground work for identifying and prosecuting such criminal behavior in 2017:

Members of the United States Marines have officially begun a training operation in Taiwan to help boost its military's combat readiness, the island's navy confirmed Monday. Amphibious training exercises led by a group of visiting Marine Raiders were described as "routine" by Taiwan's Naval Command. It marked the first public acknowledgement of American troops in Taiwan since Washington and Taipei ended formal diplomatic ties in 1979. The Raiders are believed to have arrived in Taiwan as early as October 26, but observed two weeks of quarantine as part of the island's measures to contain COVID-19. The U.S. Marines are the...

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon’s elections director was abruptly fired in a text message by the secretary of state after he pointed out serious issues with the state’s aging and vulnerable technology for running elections. Elections Director Stephen Trout learned in a text message Thursday night - as his department and county elections officials were still counting votes from the Nov. 3 election - that he was out. On Friday, Secretary of State Bev Clarno, a Republican appointed to the position by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, announced to county clerks and other elections officials in Oregon’s 36 counties that “today is...

Conservative social media site Parler, touted by prominent Republicans as a "freer" alternative to Facebook and Twitter, was downloaded nearly 1 million times in the five days after Election Day. Parler, similar to social networks like Gab and MeWe, advertises itself as a platform for free speech, where users can post "without fear of being 'deplatformed' for your views." The social media app has emerged as a central hub for Republican officials, conservative pundits, and Trump supporters protesting election results. Downloads have surged just as Twitter and Facebook have tried to crack down on election misinformation. Facebook, for example, has...

President Donald Trump is gearing up for post-election lawfare after a host of media outlets called the presidential race for Joe Biden on Saturday. The Washington Free Beacon will track Trump's legal efforts state-by-state and update this story as new information becomes available. Biden leads in critical battlegrounds like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, and it's not clear how Trump might erase those margins by litigation. An initial wave of lawsuits quickly fizzled last week as vote counters around the country tabulated results, though the campaign may ask for recounts and seek court orders establishing procedures for that process.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joined some of his Republican colleagues in calling for a recount, audit, and full review of the election, stating Monday morning that “fewer than 100,000 votes total” separate former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump in key swing states. “Right now — there are fewer than 100,000 votes total — out of almost 150 million cast — separating AZ, GA, WI, & PA (plus other close states like NV) with a number of lingering questions,” the congressman, who defeated Democrat challenger Wendy Davis, said.

Despite careful, multiple, readings of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's statement [below] regarding President Trump's challenges to the election results, we were unable to divine therein a single f-bomb. But CNN's John Berman would purport to powers exceeding ours. On this morning's New Day, Berman somehow saw an f-word that we missed. Opening the show with an emotional statement [see screencap] worthy of the most partisan Democrat, Berman claimed that after Joe Biden called for unity: "The response from the outgoing president? No. The response from the administration? Hell no. The response from Republican leaders in Congress? F no." Get...

SANTA MARIA, Calif. – A Santa Maria man was arrested Sunday after driving his vehicle into a Trump parade, causing a rollover crash and two injuries. Santa Maria police said the Trump rally was traveling westbound down Stowell Road around 2:10 p.m. At the same time, a 20-year-old Santa Maria man was driving eastbound on Stowell when he made a U-turn and caught up with the rally, gesturing and shouting aggressively at participating vehicles.

When asked to look into fraud now, he resigned! I’m so shocked

On Tuesday afternoon, a full week after the election, The Decision Desk HQ has called North Carolina for President Donald Trump and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), showing a sound defeat for Tillis’ well-funded Democratic challenger, Cal Cunningham, who National File exposed for having an extramarital affair with the wife of a U.S. Army veteran who apparently became suicidal after learning his wife was cheating him.

The latest spate of terror attacks in France and Austria will not hamper the cooperation between the government and Germany’s Muslim community, Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said on Tuesday. “We won’t let terrorism and extremism derail us,” Seehofer said at the start of this year’s German Islam Conference. Seehofer praised an Islamic theology program for German-speaking imams in the city of Osnabrück as a significant contribution towards preventing radicalization. The interior ministry-funded project is “money well-spent for societal cohesion in our country,” Seehofer said. […] With many imams receiving their religious training abroad, very often in Turkey with the contentious...

The lies, omissions, and mischaracterizations are designed to prevent oversight and accountability of Russia hoax that the Washington Post perpetuated. A reporter who won a Pulitzer for her role in perpetrating the Russia collusion hoax on the American people continued to lie about it in an article in TuesdayÂ’s Washington Post. Ellen NakashimaÂ’s attempted hit piece on Trump appointee Michael Ellis included multiple falsehoods: In March 2017, [Ellis] gained publicity for his involvement in a questionable episode involving [Devin] Nunes, who was given access at the White House to intelligence files that Nunes believed would buttress his baseless claims of...

House Democrats have the majority and are ripping each other to shreds. Senate Democrats fell short for the third cycle in a row, but are only grousing about getting out-messaged by Republicans. The two caucuses are going about their soul-searching a little differently.
