BERLIN - German police fired water cannons Wednesday at demonstrators protesting coronavirus restrictions in Berlin’s government district, after crowds ignored calls to wear masks and keep their distance from one another in line with pandemic regulations. As the cannons soaked protesters outside the landmark Brandenburg Gate, police in riot gear moved through the crowd carrying away some participants. Some demonstrators threw fireworks and flares in response as police helicopters hovered overhead. The protests came as German lawmakers debated on a bill providing legal underpinning for the government to issue social distancing rules, require masks in public and close stores and...

Sen. Mike Lee: "As far as the president's arguments about the election and how they turned out inciting violence... the only violence that I'm aware of has occurred in connection with antifa -- antifa's response to pro-Trump peaceful rally attenders."

Republican leaders, many of whom are in the back pockets of defense contractors, are crying foul at President Trump’s proposal to bring most of the troops out of Afghanistan by the end of his first term in office. A rapid withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan now would hurt our allies and delight the people who wish us harm,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said.

An emotional Gov. J.B. Pritzker clarified his family’s Thanksgiving plans on Tuesday, saying his wife and teenage daughter plan to remain in Florida “indefinitely” after a false social media post sparked “hateful, threatening messages” directed at the high school student. Pausing briefly to clear his throat before discussing the matter at his daily coronavirus briefing, the Democratic governor said the posts falsely portrayed his daughter as flouting COVID-19 restrictions at an outdoor restaurant with friends, igniting a firestorm directed at the girl even after the governor’s office had made it clear she was not in the photograph. “That was a...

The Texas electoral map looks pretty red except for those blue squares in Dallas and other cities. Yes, Texas is starting to look a lot like other states where people live in Democrat cities, competitive suburbs and rural areas dominated by the GOP.So what happens in blue cities? Crime goes up, and Dallas is no exception, as we see in these news reports: A new spike in violent crime drew response Monday from Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and Police Chief U. Renee Hall.Since Wednesday, there have been at least 24 shootings with 29 victims and 11 deaths.The string of violence...

The former National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, appeared recently on Fox News, where he was interviewed by Bret Baier. He had words of warning for Joe Biden, urging him not to rejoin the Iran deal – JCPOA – because it did not sufficiently curb Iran’s nuclear program, did not deal at all with Iran’s ballistic missiles, and did nothing to curb Iran’s regional aggression that threatened Israel and several Gulf Arab states. The story is here: “Former Trump advisor: Israel may act against Iran before Biden admin.,” by Cody Levine, Jerusalem Post, November 12, 2020:Former National Security Advisor...

The usual suspects in the media, i.e. both the Democrat operatives posing as “journalists” as well as anti-Trump Republican operatives posing as the same, are insisting that President Donald J. Trump has yet to supply any “proof” to substantiate his thesis that there has been voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election race. Before proceeding, let me put the reader on notice that I have long since stopped trying to convince partisan ideologues who lean even remotely leftward to recognize the error of their ways, to say nothing of the egregiousness of the errors of their anti-Trump biases. What follows...

Recent weeks have witnessed once again radical Islamist attacks in Europe, ostensibly, aimed to intimidate and stifle free speech in multicultural Europe. This time, the targets were France and Austria. For Vienna, it was a traumatic experience; the city is not used to such violence. Austria has not been a targeted by Islamic terrorist in recent times. The motive of the Islamist killers, like that in France, was apparently outrage over cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. The killers in both countries pledged their loyalty to the Islamic State. The original excuse for the Islamist perpetrator of the heinous murder...

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has assessed that North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) re-entry vehicles are likely to “perform adequately” if flown on a normal trajectory to mainland United States, according to an American think tank report Tuesday. Concurrently, the U.S. Navy intercepted and destroyed an ICBM target using a ship-launched missile over the Pacific Ocean, northeast of Hawaii, announced the Missile Defense Agency Tuesday, part of the Pentagon’s move to build and test a layered missile defense system for the U.S. mainland.

On election night, Trump’s decisive win in Florida was a bellwether to punters in the betting markets. The Trump campaign also seemed to outperform Election Day voting in states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, especially given the turnout seen in Florida. A shy Trump vote did exist, especially in the suburbs among women, and the GOP was morphing into a working-class, increasingly multiracial party. Betting odds swung in Trump’s favor, peaking at around 85 percent. That’s when things went south for the Trump campaign. In a yet unexplained move, states including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin stopped releasing vote counts on election...

As is their right, a segment of Americans appear to protest the presidential contest by not voting for any candidate while voting down ballot, for example on the Senate race. The number of protest "no votes" appears to be significant enough to impact a close election.This is a fascinating article, and I am very focused on the Biden-only ballot numbers. Why not have 500,000 or 1,000,000 Biden only ballots to secure an election? I believe that all involved are smart and know that numbers on that scale would create major concerns due to the new vote totals. So, then, how...

A new poll suggests that a plurality of Americans want President Donald Trump to concede the presidential election “right away,” but the figure of 46% falls short of a majority. The new Politico/Morning Consult poll of nearly 2,000 registered voters was conducted Nov. 13 to 16.

Although the poorly documented, sudden appearance, of thousands of "Biden" ballots may appear to be fraud, it's not proof. And in any event, they're mixed in with the full ballot pool, and can't be disentangled. Or can they? Let's consider the dumping scenario. Due to the limited time frame required to falsify ballots, it's likely that only a limited number of people participated. So what does this mean? It means that : (1) the same sets of fingerprints should appear on multiple ballots (likely in the same place(s) on the ballot), and (2) these identifiers won't match known voting ballot...
