Maryland police said two people are dead after a man fired at them, stole a police cruiser, and then hit a relative with the vehicle as he fled the scene early Tuesday morning. Prince George County officers responded to calls of a suicidal man with a gun around 1 a.m. in Lanham, Maryland, in a residential neighborhood, Interim Police Chief Hector Velez said during a press conference, WUSA9 reported.

Four people were killed in shootings Monday and early Tuesday in Philadelphia, bringing the city’s 2020 homicide toll to 426, its highest in a quarter-century.

I have been looking for an alternative to Facebook from the beginning. I never subscribed to Facebook, though my family has. I disagree with the policies, deception, censorship, advertising policy, etc. BUT I see the value in friends, family and general society connections. I just heard of WeMe.com. Seems interesting. Does anyone have any experience with this service? We need to dump Facebook, and to do this we need an alternative. Is WeMe that alternative?

Can you provide recommendations for the best organization to give a donation that will help the Trump stop the steal effort. And why that is a good one. I don't want to give to something that will be squandered on typical uni-party nonsense.

"There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," Pompeo told a State Department news conference. He later sought to assure the world that America's post-election transition would be successful.

[Catholic Caucus] ‘The Vatican fiction continues’: Abp. Viganò issues first response to McCarrick report 'Unlike many characters involved in this story, I do not have any reason to fear that the truth will contradict my denunciations, nor am I in any way blackmailable.' November 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Below is the first reaction of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò to the McCarrick report. Today the official Report of the Holy See regarding the McCarrick case has been made public. Before I express myself on its merit, I will take time to analyze its content. However, I cannot fail to note the surreal...

By trying to name and shame Trump supporters, the ‘Trump Accountability Project’ betrays a preference for Soviet-style retribution over a commitment to basic decency. If 2020 didn’t already feel enough of a Kafkaesque nightmare, the latest bit of depravity from the “hate has no home here” totalitarian left is a ghoulish scheme announced by three former Barack Obama and Pete Buttigieg staffers on Twitter last week called “The Trump Accountability Project.” Aspiring apparatchiks Emily Abrams, Michael Simon, and Hari Sevugan lauded the website whose stated mission is to “never forget those who furthered the Trump agenda.”According to the now privatized...

The Democrat stronghold in New England has weakened after a few lower-ticket 2020 election surprises, including an entire state’s legislature flipping to red and two House speakers being ousted by Republicans. One enormous upset came out of New Hampshire, where both chambers of its legislature and its Executive Council lost their Democrat majorities.

There are four major devices involved, the master registration computer, ballot issue computers, voting machines and the tabulating machine. Voters vote on voting machines. The supervisor of elections of a populous county might have 2000 ballot issue computers, 500 voting machines and one tabulating machine. Each voting machine compiles records of votes and of election worker interactions with the machine. I will use English representations for the records and will use an exclamation point as a comment indication for my explanations to you, which of course are not recorded by the machine. The voting machine will record election worker interactions...

Big Science Tells Biden What to Do November 10, 2020 | David F. Coppedge There is perhaps no institution more globalist in outlook than Big Science, except perhaps the United Nations. Scientific sharing and collaboration is desirable, of course, unless it includes dual-use technologies: discoveries with civilian and military applications. China has long been guilty of stealing US technology secrets. Trump was strong against that, but China sees Biden as their friend who will let them have anything they want. Republicans point to how the Biden family could be severely compromised over prior deals with China for the Biden’s personal...

On National Day for the Victims of Communism, we solemnly remember the more than 100 million lives claimed by communism in the 20th century. We commit ourselves to stopping the spread of this oppressive ideology that, without fail, leaves in its wake misery, destruction, and death. As proud Americans who cherish the blessings of freedom and democracy, we promise to support the more than one billion people currently captive within communist regimes and denied their unalienable rights to life and liberty. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the decisive Polish victory against Vladimir Lenin’s Bolsheviks in the Battle of...

On World Freedom Day, we commemorate the historic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, which liberated the people of East Germany from the grip of tyranny.  This watershed event marked the triumph of freedom and liberty for hundreds of millions of people who rejected the oppression of Soviet communism and its Marxist-Leninist ideology.  Today, we celebrate the blessings of freedom in Germany and across the world, and reaffirm our Nation’s support for all who wish to be free.Following World War II, the Soviet Union built an Iron Curtain between the East and West, isolating the city of West Berlin and...

With the news of a Covid-19 vaccine on the horizon, many are wondering when it will be widely available and how it will be distributed safely, effectively and fairly. **SNIP** Phase 1: An estimated 727,00 - 951,000 people, including those closest to the Covid-19 crisis. This phase is broken into two subgroups. Subgroup 1a includes health care workers and first responders who are at high-risk due to their jobs. These individuals include nurses, doctors, paramedics, pharmacists and community health workers. A second subgroup in Phase 1 includes long-term care facility residents and staff at congregate living facilities as well as...

The cable guy just fixed the internet. I disconnected the cable box to see what cutting the cord was like. Commenters recommended Pluto TV, which was available as an app through my PS4. It's free. It took about 60 to 90 seconds to download and install. I found it in about one minute scrolling through all the apps listed on the PS4. You can go to Pluto.tv to view their website, and see how to connect, whether by smart tv, a streaming device like Amazon Fire stick or Roku or the PS4, or even on your phone. There are more...

One of the biggest stories in this election is how President Trump, whom leftists and their media allies have constantly called a “racist,” made great inroads with minorities. The left is clearly shocked. Rather than humbly spending some time on self-reflection, however, they are doubling down on identity politics by blaming minority Trump voters. Since Election Day, leftists have been attacking minority Trump voters from two angles. First, they claim minorities who voted for Trump are “white” voters who shouldn’t be classified as minorities. This nonsense is nothing new. Prior to the election, Joe Biden famously said black voters who...

The county’s signature verification process didn’t work. The county flagged only my ballot — the most obvious signature that didn’t match. But the other ballots, featuring printed names and signatures that didn’t match those on file, all went through. In contrast, the county’s process for “curing” my signature worked well. It required me to submit photo ID proving I was who I claimed to be.

On Monday, the campaign to reelect President Donald Trump filed a mammoth lawsuit accusing Pennsylvania Secretary Kathy Boockvar and county elections boards throughout the state of violating the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally revising the law in a manner that deprives some voters of their rights to a free and fair election. “In a rush to count mail ballots and ensure Democrat Joe Biden is elected, Pennsylvania has created an illegal two-tiered voting system for the 2020 General Election, devaluing in-person votes,” the lawsuit alleges. “For voters that appeared at the polls, those citizens were required to sign voter registrations, have...
