1.. Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I'm working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said; "Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile." ------------------------------ 2.. Today, after my 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn't recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and...

Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on Monday evening joined a small group of GOP senators referring to Joe Biden as president-elect after the presidential race was called for him more than a week ago. Rubio joins a club of only four other Republican senators who have acknowledged Biden's win. They are Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine and Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who have all also congratulated Biden for clinching the White House. Rubio made the reference when he was asked by Capitol Hill pool reporters what he made of reports that his...

Yes, according to the law, all ballots of all types must be counted before an election can be officially closely or certified. This includes ballots coming from overseas, from drop boxes, polling places, etc. Winners can be announced before counting is complete:It is mathematically possible to “call” an election and announce a winner before the ballot counting is complete – (but that does not mean the counting stops!) The calculation is made based on the ballots already counted to that minute and remaining outstanding ballots to count.When the polls have closed and ballot counting reaches a point where one candidate...

My beloved fellow FReepers, it tells us in God's Word to "faint not at the promises of God." Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit is in control of all things, and His Word is "Yes" and "Amen." The word Amen means "so be it"--The Almighty God's confirmation that we can have the utmost confidence that everything in Holy Scripture will come to pass. All who have put their faith in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, can...

European leaders must not let up on efforts to construct an autonomous bloc that is capable of resisting the duopoly of China and the US, Emmanuel Macron has said in his first extended response to the US presidential election. The French president said the US would only respect Europe if it was sovereign with respect to its own defence, technology and currency. Warning that US values and interests were not quite the same as Europe’s, he said: “It is not tenable that our international policies should be dependent on it or to be trailing behind it.” The same need for...

More than 2,600 votes have reportedly been uncovered in Georgia amid its recount process that weren’t previously included in the state’s overall tally of ballots in the presidential election. The ballots, Sterling said, hadn’t previously been included in the state’s unofficial tally because they hadn’t been uploaded from a ballot scanning machine’s memory card. Sterling called the mishap “an amazing blunder” in comments to the paper, saying, “It’s not an equipment issue. It’s a person not executing their job properly.” “This is the kind of situation that requires a change at the top of their management side,” he continued while...

The Sacramento Kings appear to have made a statement by firing an announcer who said, “all lives matter,” only to replace him by hiring someone who claimed that Donald Trump is a “white supremacist terrorist.” Back in June, Kings announcer Grant Napear was pressured to resign from his 30-year broadcasting job after stirring vitriol from the left because he said that “all lives matter.” Napear, who had been with the team since 1988, later explained that he was not aware that “all lives matter” was somehow considered racist. Napear also lost his job on KHTK radio over the incident.

Sidney Powell appears with Lou Dobbs to discuss an affidavit delivered to her showing how SmartMatic software was designed to manipulate election outcomes. Quite remarkable.

In the past day there have been two very disturbing developments in internet deplatforming. We are all familiar with deplatforming from major social media services such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as those platforms outright silencing important news that harms Democrats, like the Biden family influence peddling scandal. Twitter regularly now places notices or restrictions even on Trump’s tweet on the allegation that his opinions on the election are disputed. In the four years Trump as been the subject of dishonest and malicious conspiracy claims, particularly Russia collusion, I can’t remember Twitter ever placing such restrictions on the tweets...

Lin Wood interview. Very interesting.

There is a lot of speculation on tucker Carlson's future with Fox News now that it has lurched over to the far Left. Here is Tucker in his own words.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has rarely broken publicly with President Donald Trump, but the reports of a planned troop drawdown from Afghanistan and Iraq were enough to lead the Kentucky Republican to speak on the Senate floor lambasting the idea. “Of course, all wars must end,” he said. “The question is now how they end and whether the terms on which they end are favorable or unfavorable to the security and interests of the United States. And nothing about the circumstances we face today suggest that if we lose resolve, the terrorists will simply leave us alone.”
