    WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden has privately told advisers that he doesn't want his presidency to be consumed by investigations of his predecessor, according to five people familiar with the discussions, despite pressure from some Democrats who want inquiries into President Donald Trump, his policies and members of his administration. Biden has raised concerns that investigations would further divide a country he is trying to unite and risk making his presidency about Trump, said the sources, who spoke on background to offer details of private conversations. They said he has specifically told advisers that he is wary of federal tax...

    A Republican National Committee monitor in the Georgia recount efforts came forward claiming he witnessed a counted wrongly calling out votes. According to the monitor, the counter called votes that should have gone to President Donald Trump and claimed they were for former Vice President Joe Biden. "So, second person was supposed to be checking it, right. So, three times in three minutes she called out Biden. The second auditor caught it and she said, 'No. This is Trump.' Now, that's just while I'm standing there," Hale Soucie, the monitor explained. "So, does the second checker catch it every time?...

    It should be of grave concern that America's avowed enemies are cheering on the possibility of a Biden presidency. Thus, "Iraq's pro-Tehran factions have welcomed Joe Biden's election as US president[.]" That such politicians who have called the U.S. "evil" and shout the phrase "death to America" would be pleased by a possible Biden win speaks volumes. Vijeta Uniyal explains: The Iranian regime is equally upbeat in its statements about a possible Biden-Harris administration, hoping to revive the Obama-era appeasement policies. If the mainstream media and the Biden-Harris camp have their way, the Tehran and pro-Iran terrorist groups may have...

    -- The incident reportedly took place at Wattisham Flying Station in Suffolk on Nov. 6, 2020. The AH-64D in question had returned to this base the day before after experiencing a malfunction with the gun during live-fire training. As such, it had been loaded with practice rounds, which have solid projectiles, rather than high-explosive or high-explosive-incendiary shells. -- The exact circumstances of the incident, including how the M230 went off, are still unclear. It's also not known if British Army personnel were actually working on the gun at the time of the discharge. There are unconfirmed reports that ground crew...

    "We're fixing to overturn the results of the elections in multiple states. President Trump won by not hundreds of thousands of votes but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose. We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed — it was designed to rig elections." — Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and a member of President Trump's legal team. "It's the software that was the problem. Even their own manual explains how votes can be wiped away, it's like drag and drop Trump votes into a...

    The idea of complaining about the people funding the conservative movement seems a bit odd, after all, they cut a lot of big checks. They fund think tanks and websites, the very heart of the conservative movement, and those organizations have done some great work in the past. The only problem is it’s not the past anymore, and the old model no longer works. The people funding the left have out-flanked the right, and it is long past time for the right to catch up. Yes, it was a good year for Republican House candidates, and depending on how Georgia...

    Of course, I believe that Donald Trump won the November 3rd election fair and square and he should use every legal means to prove it. But, it seems to me that we are not going to get out of the present cold civil war until the American people teach the Democrats a lesson they will never forget. At least until next time. Here’s what I don’t understand. I thought that all the smart people agreed with Judis and Teixeira about The Emerging Democratic Majority of women, minorities, young people, and professionals. So who needs to game the vote, Democrats? So...

    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...
  • Vote Recount In Georgia Finds Over 2,600 Ballots In Floyd County

    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...
