Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) late Friday evening certified the state's presidential election results following a hand recount, where former Vice President Joe Biden came out by roughly 12,000 votes. During the recount President Donald Trump picked up an additional 888 votes. Kemp did, however, call for another hand recount, citing major errors in Floyd, Douglas and Walton Counties, CBS News reported.Kemp's concern wasn't the legitimacy of the hand count but rather the process that took place. Specifically, he cited thousands of uncounted ballots being found in various counties while the hand recount was taking place.The governor, who previously served...

It’s hard to overemphasize the monumental impact The Exorcist has had on American culture. The nation was captivated in 1973 when the film burst onto the big screen, terrifying moviegoers with the otherworldly story of a little girl who was “possessed by a mysterious entity.”[i]The success and immediate impact of The Exorcist was so jarring that the film caught the notice of outlets like the New York Times, with 1970s news reports detailing not only its popularity but also the pervasive problems the movie was creating. After the film’s release, a 1974 Times piece warned of “terrified teenagers and priests”...

I downloaded the owners manual for the Dominion voting machines. There is a flow chart that outlines how the process works. If you look closely you will see that two folders of scanned ballot files are created as images. These files should immediately be subpoenaed as evidence in all questionable counties. If fabricated ballots were entered or same ballots scanned multiple times, the proof would be here. If the files were destroyed, even more evidence of a conspiracy.

MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- Battered by accusations that they tried to disenfranchise military voters, Vice President Al Gore's campaign enlisted a war hero of their own Tuesday to call on Republicans to retract those "unfair and irresponsible" claims. Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey, a former Democratic presidential candidate and Medal of Honor winner, said allies of Texas Gov. George W. Bush were attempting to undercut the legitimacy of a possible Gore victory in Florida's tight presidential recount. "Many of the things that are being said, if they are believed by the American people as the truth, will cast a pall of...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Tuesday, Nov. 20. The meeting of congratulation, which was, at first, intended for a county jubilee, has, unexpectedly, assumed gigantic proportions. An immense and excited crowd is in attendance, and the illumination is nearly universal and brilliant beyond anything ever seen in the West. All the public buildings and a vast number of stores and dwellings are ablaze with fantastic devices. In the dome of the State-House four locomotive head lights are blazing, clearly visible for many miles. A large procession of Wide-Awakes has been parading. When they came to the residence of Mr. LINCOLN they halted and...

ELECTION 2020: America’s Vatican II MomentWhat do the circumstances surrounding the Mueller Report tell us about the importance of safeguarding the presidential election process? If we as a nation are concerned about a candidate potentially working with a foreign actor to release true information about his or her political opponents, does it seem likely that we would be unconcerned about a candidate coordinating with the media, polling firms, state officials, poll workers and vote counters to directly manipulate voting? In other words, if we think there is a problem with a relatively minor threat to the democratic process, do we...

After Trump’s legal dream team held a press conference to give an overview of the allegations about massive election fraud, the media, from CNN down to Fox went on the attack. Even Tucker Carlson attacked Sidney Powell for allegedly failing to produce evidence supporting her claims against Dominion. By Friday, Powell explained why she didn’t appear on Tucker’s show -- and what she said didn't reflect well on everyone’s favorite conservative analyst.As always with all the news nowadays, there’s a back story here: Ever since Rupert Murdoch retired, and his left-leaning sons took over, Fox News has systematically and incrementally...

Call, contact your US Senate reps demanding a special, emergency investigation of the Dominion Voting machine systems and affiliates. We will not be silent in the face of a coordinated evil coup attempt.

Look folks, there’s an easy way about the government ban on having a traditional Thanksgiving feast with friends and family. Hold a protest against colonialist oppression instead! As we know, protests are exempt from the rules, and are “scientifically” proven to pose lower risk of COVID spread than, say, a MAGA meetup or a motorcycle rally in Sturgis. It’s foolproof (necessary when dealing with government fools these days): just make up a sign that says, “This protest meal is 1619 Project compliant.” Who knew that the Ibram X. Kendi wing of the left is literally a turkey wing? Well it...

The U.S. government stands to lose more than $400 billion from the federal student loan program, an internal analysis shows, approaching the size of losses incurred by banks during the subprime-mortgage crisis. The Education Department, with the help of two private consultants, looked at $1.37 trillion in student loans held by the government at the start of the year. Their conclusion: Borrowers will pay back $935 billion in principal and interest. That would leave taxpayers on the hook for $435 billion, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The analysis was based on government accounting standards and didn’t...

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany mocked a CNN reporter who kept shouting questions about President Trump admitting he had lost, saying she doesn’t call on “activists” before walking away from the podium. REPORTER: “When will you admit you lost the election?” MCENANY: “Thank you everyone for the very good and substantive questions today.” REPORTER: “Do you understand that? He lost.” MCENANY: “Thank you. I don’t call on activists.”

Cary C Charlson phone call fragment of Sidney Powell former Federal prosecutor on Newsmax talking about how they're going to file federal lawsuits by the end of next week after Thanksgiving. Why the FBI is not securing the voting equipment from Dominion and allowing them to move their office and Destroy evidence is just crazy.

"Peace" was recently achieved between Armenia and Azerbaijan, who had been fighting for nearly two months, after the Christian nation agreed to cede its ancestral lands in Artsakh to its Muslim neighbor. From a temporal and myopic point of view, such a settlement may seem like progress; from a long point of view, it is a regress and reflective of the continuum of Armenian-Islamic history and relations: in exchange for peace, Christians have always been forced to cede territory to Muslims. After all, the heart of the Muslim world — the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia Minor — were...

I confess to having been utterly naïve. I had wondered why on Earth the business community would prefer a frail and corrupt president Biden over a pro-business president Trump. Trump has a track record of economic growth and stands for lower regulations and taxes, fairer international trade, and a stronger military. Biden wants to increase taxes and regs and put in place a number of new initiatives like the Green New Deal that might bankrupt the economy. But Wall Street, the tech industry, and many more backed Biden, while even many GOP congressmen seemed lukewarm to Trump. The choice for...

This concludes my report on an interview with Rep. Elise Stefanik yesterday afternoon. I posted the first installment here, including my daughter Eliana’s 2014 NR profile of her just before she became the youngest woman elected to Congress at the time. I mentioned to Rep. Stefanik how much I admired women standing up to run for office on our side because of the abuse to which they subject themselves. Unlike their Democratic counterparts, the abuse won’t be offset by features glamorizing them in the fashion magazines. We’re not holding our breath for Stefanik’s 2020 class to be featured by Glamour...

When President Trump refused to concede the election to Joe Biden in the immediate aftermath of Nov. 3, we argued that he had the right to mount legal challenges if he believed there had been irregularities, mistakes, fraud, or all three. Democratic objections and outrage were as hypocritical as they were inevitable, coming as they did from a corps that refused to accept the 2016 election result not for days, weeks, or even months, but for four years. But although fair-minded people know there are legitimate procedures for litigation, and that these should be allowed to play out, there is...

“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts . . . The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death” (Proverbs 21:2 KJV).

Brian Kemp also rallies behind future voter ID enhancements after certifying election results for Biden. After certifying his state's election results, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is now urging his state to conduct an audit comparing the signatures of voter applications and mail-in ballot envelops to those on the approved voter file to determine if fraud occurred. Kemp, a Republican, made the appeal to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger during a news conference on Friday. “It’s important to note that this audit only looked at ballots, not the signatures on the absentee applications or the signatures on the ballot envelopes," the...
