But today, Raffensperger gave an interview to local news outlet WSB-TV where he made a claim that makes absolutely no sense regarding the number of Republicans he said voted absentee in the GOP primary but didn’t vote in the general:In new intv with me, @GaSecofState says 24,000 GOPs who voted absentee in primary did not vote in General – says Donald Trump cost himself the election by sowing distrust in absentee: "he would have won by 10 thousand votes he actually suppressed, depressed his own voting base"— Justin Gray (@JustinGrayWSB) November 17, 2020Are we supposed to believe that 24,000 faithful...

Today’s Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:4 “I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus.” In his comments on 1 Corinthians 1:4, Dr. Gordon Fee has helpful insight on the connection of grace and gifts: "The specific basis of Paul’s thanksgiving in their case is God’s ‘grace given you in Christ Jesus.’ Commonly this is viewed as a thanksgiving for grace as such, i.e., the gracious outpouring of God’s mercy in Christ toward the undeserving. However, for Paul charis (?race’) very often is closely associated with charisma/ charismata...

The government of France, which brokered the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, was hauled before the Council of State by Grande-Synthe, a low-lying northern coastal town which is particularly exposed to the effects of climate change. The Council, which rules on disputes over public policies, noted that "while France has committed itself to reducing its emissions by 40% in 2030 compared to 1990 levels, it has, in recent years, regularly exceeded the 'carbon budgets' it had set itself." It also noted that President Emmanuel Macron's government had, in a decree in April, deferred much of the reduction efforts...

We Chumps are not likely to be as pleased as Chucky about his plans for how Joey can spend our money without our consent - before it’s even “deemed” to be “his” to spend. Of course forgiving student loans was Pocahontas’ plan to win the Dem primary. Didn’t work out well for her, possibly for the same reason referenced by Damon, above - Chump anger:A man approached Warren with a question. “My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money [so that] she doesn’t have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”“Of course...

...."As you can clearly hear and see on the video recording, Deputy Santiago–Miranda gives repeated verbal commands -- seven to be exact -- for the driver of the vehicle to stop the car; however, the driver of the vehicle, 16-year-old Angelo Crooms turns and accelerates the vehicle towards Deputy Santiago-Miranda who was then forced to fire his service weapon in an attempt to stop the deadly threat of the car from crashing into him," Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a statement sent to FOX 35 News....

The apostle Paul says of God, “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began” (2 Timothy 1:9). Simply put, every person who is “in Christ” is called by the Lord. And we all have the same mandate: to hear God’s voice, to proclaim his Word, to never fear man and to trust the Lord in the face of every conceivable trial. Indeed, God’s promises apply to all of his servants. That is, we...

Like millions of Americans, I have in recent days grown sick of Facebook. Like hundreds of thousands, I've abandoned it for Parler. When I said goodbye to my friends on Facebook, they were all kind. Many said they'd miss me, and others offered advice. One told me she had glanced into Parler and had found it horrifying. But, she said, she was sure I had done my due diligence before signing on. Indeed I had. Parler allows you to choose whose words you read and whose memes you chuckle at. I'm not a fan of outlandish conspiracy theories so I...

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Nov. 18. Information has been received here that Gov. AIKEN, of South Carolina, opposes secession. Public sentiment seems to be settling down under the idea that Southern States, South Carolina included, will unite in a demand for an additional constitutional guaranty, which it is thought the Free States will cheerfully grant. A Convention of all the States can embody a new clause in the Constitution, securing the Slave States against further agitation, and fixing a geographical line -- perhaps the old Missouri compromise line between Free and Slave Territory. Such is the solution of the difficulty by leading...

It’s just the flu, bro. I have finally come to accept that lockdowns and masks and vaccines will be pushed by governments for at least the next several years. How do I know this? Governments, and many people, try to find ways to encourage things that provide a communal benefit, even if this benefit is fake. So if governments currently ban plastic straws, ban plastic bags, tax cow farts, and tax large SUVs all in the name of trying to reduce the global temperature by a quarter degree over the next 100 years, then why wouldn’t they similarly enforce massive...

"All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own. "And indeed if they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared...

“[God] said, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ Then [Moses] said to Him, ‘If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here’” (Exodus 33:14-15). Moses knew it was God’s presence among them that set them apart from all other nations. The same is true of God’s people today. The only thing that sets us apart from nonbelievers is God’s presence “with us,” leading us, guiding us, working his will in and through us. His presence drives out fear and confusion. Moses’ attitude was essentially, “We operate on one...

After four years of attacking President Donald Trump as "illegitimate," "fascist," "Nazi," "tyrant," "dictator," "racist," "anti-Semitic," "Russian stooge," "traitor," "grifter," "xenophobe," "sexist," "homophobe," "ignorant," "fat" and "lazy," former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive president-elect, now says, "Let's heal." In his "victory speech," Biden said: "And to those who voted for President Trump, I understand your disappointment tonight. "I've lost a couple of elections myself. But now, let's give each other a chance. "It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each other again. "To make progress, we...

Perhaps there is something few have thought about. First, it is obvious that there was massive cheating in this election. As I have posted before: 1. A friend took his family on a 48 state tour just prior to the election. He said he saw almost NO Biden signs on the entire trip, not on lawns, not on cars. That indicates very little public support across the entire nation. 2. The Democrats went ballastic on Amy Coney Barrett's nomination and she had impeccable credentials. They expected this election to end up being contested in the Supreme Court. Why? 3. The...

Mainstream media outlets are all too happy to interview Dr. Anthony Fauci as an “infectious disease specialist.” They find his big government solutions that cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas most pleasing. He wants us to wear masks forever, even though he once said they weren’t any good back in the spring. It’s true that Fauci plays a doctor on these TV shows. But we have good reasons to believe that he is only acting rather than actually being a responsible physician. And it is only a low-information public that allows the MSM to get away with pushing his advice. To set...

A petition circulating at Harvard University to prevent Trump administration officials from stepping foot on campus is getting mixed reviews from a range of students, showing that not all those attending the prestigious college are in line with the progressive agenda of the petition's organizers, FOX Business has learned. Despite apparently getting the thumbs up by most of the liberal arts school, students at the Kennedy School and the renowned Harvard Business School were less enthusiastic. The petition organizers then changed the wording of the document from an outright ban of Trump administration officials speaking, teaching or attending the university...

I have to choke back laughter every time I hear some leftist whine about the country needing “unity” now that the election is over. I have a two word answer, though not the two words I’d like to use (which start with “f” and “y”): no thanks. Listening to Democrats pretend to care about everyone, or as Joe Biden regularly reads off a teleprompter, “I will be President of all Americans,” really does make me sick. Given how these people have acted for at least the last 20 years, I’m down for anything Republicans do to oppose and thwart everything...

Republicans decide to fight back in Wayne County, Michigan. – Don’t look now, but the two GOP members of the Canvassing Board in Wayne County, Michigan – home to the communist Democrat-run city of Detroit – reversed course once again in the wee hours of this morning, refusing to certify the obviously-fraudulent election results from their county. Board Chairwoman Monica Palmer and fellow GOP member William C. Hartmann, who had been shamefully bullied into changing their original “no” votes to “yes” by the despicable Democrat members of the Board on Tuesday night, notified the board via sworn affidavits that they...

[Note: this piece contains heavy video content.] Governor Andrew Cuomo held one of his Fidel Castro-like press events yesterday, ostensibly designed to provide the public with useful information and comfort about the draconian new shut-down restrictions he is imposing on them yet again. Instead, the Central American dictator-in-training went completely off the rails, blaming his citizens for the problems with the China Virus, and haranguing one reporter who simply asked whether or not the state’s schools would be shut down.
