    Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who earlier this year pledged to donate $10 billion of his own money to help fight climate change, on Monday announced initial grants totaling $791 million for 16 different environmental groups. The recipients includes a number of prominent groups that deal with global warming, including ClimateWorks Foundation, Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Union of Concerned Scientists, World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund. "I've spent the past several months learning from a group of incredibly smart people who've made it their life's work to fight climate change and its impact on communities around the...
  • The Republican Party is committing suicide

    There are so many assertive actions the Republican Party could take to support Trump, but it’s utterly passive. Its suicide comes at a cost for Americans. If the Republican Party fails to use every possible stratagem to retain the Presidency in 2020, it will have signed its death certificate. The majority of the 73 million people whose votes for Trump were properly counted may well turn away from the Republican Party in disgust. Why bother to vote if the Republican Party is too feckless and incompetent to mount a successful challenge to a stolen election? However, this act of suicide...

    Professor Mehrsa Baradaran has applied pressure to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to openly embrace a reparations plan for black Americans Mehrsa Baradaran, a professor at the University of California at Irvine's School of Law and prominent advocate of reparations for black Americans, has been tapped to join the Biden-Harris transition team. Baradaran argues that reparations, giving money to black Americans to compensate for slavery, would correct capitalist "white supremacy" in America and close the resulting racial wealth gap. "A reparations program could take many forms from simple cash payments or baby bonds to more complex schemes such as subsidized...
  • The numbers prove voter fraud

    How do we know there is massive voter fraud? Let’s take a glance at past presidential voting totals and compare them to this year’s: 2008: 129,500,000. 2012: 127,000,000. 2016: 129,000,000. So how many more votes should there have been this year, if any voter tallies were honest? Let's say Trump did a good job of getting more of his supporters registered and voting. How many did that harvest? Two million, and that's being very generous? And how many did the Democrats honestly register and got to vote, given their extraordinary anti-Trump motivation? Three million, again to be generous. So this...

    Election tech company Dominion Voting Systems is rebutting assorted claims of partisan bias and voting manipulation in the 2020 election, including rumors of a secret U.S. military raid on purported servers in Germany and ownership interests and other influence in the firm by prominent Democratic families. At the same time, Dominion has confirmed reports it made a donation to the Clinton Foundation and hired a former Nancy Pelosi staffer as a lobbyist. Dominion has been at the center of a firestorm since Nov. 3, when its election management software, which is widely used across the country, led to an unofficial...
  • What American Schools Should Teach About Race, Racism and Slavery

    Townhall.com ^ | November 17, 2020 | Dennis Prager
    Regarding race and much else, America's students are not taught history. In fact, they are not taught; they are indoctrinated. With anti-Americanism. The purpose of all teaching about race in American schools is to engender contempt for America. They are, therefore, "taught" the lies of The New York Times' "1619 Project" -- that the United States was founded to preserve and protect slavery -- and of such works as Robin DiAngelo's "White Fragility." So, then, what should American schools teach about race? They should, of course, teach students about slavery and racism. But, if truth and moral clarity are to...

  • 'Free speech' social media platform Parler is a hit among Trump supporters, but experts say it won't last

    ABC "News" / Disney ^ | November 17, 2020 | By Laura Romero
    Parler, a Twitter-style social media platform, has gained popularity mostly among President Donald Trump's supporters and right-wing conservatives after the 2020 presidential election, but experts told ABC News they believe it's unlikely the platform will grow any further. "They have this echo chamber and they can't trigger anyone or target anyone because everyone believes what you believe," said Fadi Quran, campaign director at Avaaz, a global civic organization that studies misinformation. "It gets boring to be sharing the same type of hate, and so they end up having to come back to the top five social media platforms." Last week,...

    The key to conservatives reclaiming and rescuing any sense of America as we have known it for the last several decades is education. Not just raising our children to know right from wrong and good from evil, though that’s a good start. Regardless of your religious affiliation, it usually doesn’t hurt to throw a little God in for good measure. It’s not necessary that they be devout followers but learning that there’s something bigger than them... than all of us... will be helpful. The way to start taking back this country is by getting conservatives and conservative ideas back into...

    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 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.

    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...
