Free Republic

Wayne County, Michigan, canvassers reversed course late Tuesday night and voted to certify results from the November 3 election, which have been disputed. The Board of Canvassers had originally voted 2-2 along party lines. But later into the night, the Republican canvassers flipped and voted with the Democrats, while the live video stream was down. “After hours of angry responses from Wayne County residents, the change in course was approved by the two Republican and two Democratic canvassers with the demand that the Secretary of State’s office conduct a ‘comprehensive audit’ of precincts with unexplained out-of-balance tallies,” the Detroit News...

Judy Shelton's controversial nomination to the Federal Reserve suffered a possibly fatal blow Tuesday in a key procedural vote in the Senate. The upper chamber voted 50-47 against a move that would have advanced the nomination by limiting debate, typically a death knell because the opposition simply could block the vote from ever coming to the full floor.

Yellow-bellied GOP cowards, unfortunately, are many. Well, that was short lived. It looked like two Republicans on the four-person Wayne County, Michigan, Board of Canvassers were showing some spine, refusing to certify county election results after significant voting irregularities. But that all changed hours later after pressure, some in the form of threats, caused the two to vote unanimously to certify the results. Add to that Michigan State Senate Majority leader Mike Shirkey (R) who says Joe Biden is the president–elect and that the Republican Majority State Legislature will not award the state electors to President Donald Trump. “Not Going...

President Trump has so far been unwilling to concede to Joe Biden, and his latest argument is that the voting machines must have been rigged. Where’s the evidence? Strong claims need strong proof, not rumors and innuendo on Twitter. Chatter is swirling around Dominion Voting, a company that supplies equipment in some 28 states. What seems to have launched this theory was an early misreport of results in Antrim County, Mich. In 2016 Mr. Trump won 62% of its 13,600 ballots, so eyebrows rose this year when the initial tallies showed Mr. Biden up by 3,000. In reality, Mr. Trump...

With extraordinary and inexplicable speed, the GOP in Michigan seems to be all in for Biden. For a while there, it looked as if the elections board in Wayne County, Michigan, which is home to Detroit, would refuse to certify its election results based upon evidence of fraud. Two Republican board members, however, abruptly collapsed and the county certified the votes. Then, in another strange step-down, the state senate’s majority leader, a Republican, announced that his team was all in for Biden. What the heck is going on? Tuesday evening started off well for the Trump team when news break...

Tesla will be added to the S&P 500 index on Dec. 21. Based on its market value Monday, the electric car maker would be one of the top 10 companies in the benchmark index upon entry. S&P Dow Jones Indices made the announcement after the closing bell. Tesla shares jumped nearly 14% in after-hours trading. Tesla became eligible to join the S&P 500 after posting its fourth consecutive profit in the second quarter of this year. However, it was not selected for inclusion in the index in September by the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Tesla shares have...

The mainstream media continues to pitch the idea that the November 3 presidential election was free and fair. Yet the numbers just don’t add up. Looking closely at outcomes in states like Minnesota and Wisconsin, certain “red flag” patterns emerge. First, both states experienced an anomalous 89% voter turnout, a number between 14 and 22 points higher than the turnout in the 2016 General Election. Secondly, both states had a surprisingly high number of ballots that were not completely filled out with a large portion of incomplete ballots either cast for Biden but not for a U.S. House Democrat (95%...

It’s just the flu, bro. So we have curfews in California and other US jurisdictions. We have lockdown insanity in Scotland with all gyms shutdown and massive restrictions on movement. Scotland is a dump of a place...the desire for actual freedom which was seen in Braveheart has been totally gone for at least 100 years. In contrast to the above we have Desantis in Florida. He says no new lockdowns. He is a true leader. When a politician goes against the grain to do the right thing then that politician has earned a massive amount of goodwill that will not...

... Activists and public officials in the months leading up to the Nov. 3 election launched major informational campaigns and voting drives to help as many people as possible vote via mail. A reported 65 million ballots were cast by mail in the 2020 election, far outstripping earlier years. Along with that major shift in voting methods came the predictable headaches including numerous reports of voters receiving multiple mail-in ballots - in some cases even when none was requested - as well as voters not receiving requested ballots in time for the election. Voting irregularities in the key battleground state...

A young man with his girlfriend who fought off an attack by rioters Saturday after the Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C., described to Breitbart News on Monday what happened–and urged Trump supporters not to be afraid. Charles Downs, 26, described to Breitbart News what happened before and during the attack, video of which showed him in a red Trump sweatshirt shielding his girlfriend from rioters and guiding her to safety.

You present to a physician with severe abdominal pain. He examines you and concludes that your ingrown toenails are the cause of your abdominal distress. He prescribes that you soak your feet in warm water but that does not bring relief to your abdominal pain. Then he suggests that you apply antibiotics to your feet. Still no relief. Then the physician suggests that you wear sandals instead of shoes. Still no relief. The point of this story is that your toenails can be treated until the cows come home, but if there is improper diagnosis, then you are still going...

Many people ask how we got to this point in our country, where everything now hangs in the balance, and the socialist takeover is quite real. The answer is [...] twofold. First, neither ordinary people nor public opinion leaders understand what socialism is [...]. However, there are very few academics whose works correctly describe the essence of socialism. Their lonely voices drown in the stream of misconceptions about the subject. The first misapprehension is that socialism is solely equated with Marxism and Marx's materialist philosophical concepts. The materialist definition of socialism posits communal ownership of the means of production, collective...

However, years later, experts discovered they were creepy ‘death whistles’ that made piercing noises resembling a human scream, which the ancient Aztecs may have used during ceremonies, sacrifices, or during battles to strike fear into their enemies. The Aztec Death Whistles were Not Common Instruments Two...

Doctors on the White House Coronavirus Task Force stressed to Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday that the coronavirus pandemic situation is dire and only getting worse, two senior administration officials familiar with the meeting told CBS News. The doctors fear the U.S. could see an average of 1,500 deaths a day next week, and up to 2,000 a day by Christmas without any changes to mitigation measures. The doctors on the task force are also concerned the predicted spikes will completely overrun hospitals and force the U.S. back to the hectic early phase of the pandemic. To prevent this...

Singer John Legend said on Thursday that donating to Democratic candidates hoping to flip the U.S. Senate is more important than giving to the needy. "The bottom line is that the Senate flipping would be far more impactful than a food bank donation," Legend tweeted in reply to liberal billionaire Mark Cuban. "We need massive stimulus and aid to individuals and small businesses. Government needs to do this. Charity isn’t sufficient." Democrats are looking to funnel a massive amount of money from deep-pocketed, out-of-state donors into the runoff races in Georgia as part of a last-gasp bid to flip the...

Jewish groups ask the Supreme Court to step in New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s (D.) coronavirus restrictions discriminate against Jews and violate the First Amendment, a coalition of Jewish groups told the Supreme Court in an emergency filing Monday afternoon. The contested restrictions were imposed after a sharp increase in coronavirus infections in New York City. The governor called the outbreak "predominantly an ultra-Orthodox cluster" and attributed it to Jewish religious practices in an Oct. 5 press conference. "In a series of press conferences, the governor explained that he was enacting new restrictions on places of worship, in certain neighborhoods...

For many of the officials who helped guide the nation through a 2020 presidential election that saw record turnout in the midst of a deadly pandemic, the past two weeks of protests and cries of voter fraud have been both baffling and frustrating. "We're rather offended because we know how hard we worked to conduct free and fair elections and follow Florida law," said Jennifer Edwards, the supervisor of elections in Collier County, Florida. Edwards described carrying off an election with the highest turnout for any county in Florida -- over 90% of registered voters there cast ballots -- and...

Top adviser Frank Mora has pushed to lift sanctions on Castro regime The Biden administration is relying on an adviser who has pushed to lift critical sanctions against the communist regime in Cuba, sparking outcry from lawmakers and experts. President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team includes a former Pentagon appointee from the Obama administration who was a leading advocate for engaging and normalizing relations with Cuba. Florida International University professor Frank Mora served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Western Hemisphere from 2009 to 2013 and supported easing long-standing sanctions against Cuba. Mora is now one of 23 volunteer...
