What if President Trump’s team really does have the goods to prove a massive voter fraud on the part of the Democrats? Then what should we do? How far should we be willing to go? Should we let ourselves be cowed by the threat of leftist violence in the streets — by the prospect of 2020’s riots multiplied by 10 or 20? To answer that, let’s stop and consider history. I’m not usually someone to talk about “appeasement.” That’s typically the card played by some armchair strategist neoconservative. He whips it out when he’s trying to gin up a useless,...

Lockdowns are back on in Europe and are making a quick comeback in the US as well. Spain, the UK, Belgium, and France are back in full lockdown mode, although a multitude of restrictions on movement within each country remained in place even when full lockdowns were ended over the summer. In France, for instance, one now “need[s] a certificate to move around,” yet in spite of long maintaining some of the continent’s most stringent lockdown and social distancing measures, total deaths per million are rapidly accelerating, to the point that France is likely to soon join other countries with...

President Trump suffered no grand repudiation across the country but was dealt a blow in the popular vote by voters dominating the coastal regions.One of my new neighbors in Denver ended our friendship a few days ago over what I do for a living and my vote for President Donald Trump. A sign for your front yard. pic.twitter.com/YWBcKsYL7h — Christina Sommers (@CHSommers) November 17, 2020In Denver, however, 71,000 people still voted for the president, a few of whom are probably on my street. They just choose to hide it. Trump reaped a record-breaking 73 million votes this election, totaling more...

Chapter 1. The Salutation. Praise of the Corinthians Before the Breaking Forth of Schism Among Them.The church of God which sojourns at Rome, to the church of God sojourning at Corinth, to them that are called and sanctified by the will of God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, from Almighty God through Jesus Christ, be multiplied.Owing, dear brethren, to the sudden and successive calamitous events which have happened to ourselves, we feel that we have been somewhat tardy in turning our attention to the points respecting which you consulted us; and especially to that shameful...

Restrictions include a stronger mask mandate and new capacity limits [cut] According to Sisolak, Nevadans and visitors are required to wear a mask at all times, whether indoors or outdoors, when not in the presence of someone who is part of their household. No additional businesses will be closed. However, occupancy at both indoor and outdoor restaurants and bars occupancy will be reduced to 25 percent. No more than four people will be allowed at one table, and reservations will be required. "I know the majority of our bars and restaurants are doing their best, but these settings are proven...

When Jesus asked the father of the demon-possessed son how long he had been that way, the man replied, “From childhood” (Mark 9:21). In other words, it had been a long time. It was this long, ongoing difficulty that sparked the father’s desire to seek God’s help. God will use the difficult season in our lives to bring about a desire to seek him and to have faith in his deliverance. Take, for example, Elijah. James 5:17 says, “Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not...

Executive Summary We find considerable evidence consistent with the possibility of electoral fraud in vote counts in Montgomery County, PA. In particular, we examine a highly anomalous update to mail vote totals in the NYT/Edison data which enormously benefited Biden, and which looks suspicious on a number of dimensions. At a high level, our results are suggestive of a new and highly suspicious batch of mail ballots being added to the count sometime between Wednesday early morning and Thursday morning. These ballots are drawn from an implausible distribution that enormously favored Biden and simultaneously harmed Trump (the latter being done...

A precious missionary wrote to our ministry about quitting his post. He explained, “I felt as if God had brought me into a wilderness and then left me twisting in the wind. I left the ministry in utter dismay and became bitter. I now see what my problem was. I didn’t put down any roots of trust during my testing time. When the trials came, I didn’t rely on what I knew of God’s Word and his faithfulness. I forgot his promise that he would never fail me.” In Jeremiah 20:14 and18, the prophet let loose with a tirade that...

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) pushed for the cancellation of student debt to help “ensure” an “equitable” economic recovery from the effects of the shutdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic. Pressley told MSNBC that she will push the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration to cancel student debt via executive order on day one. “I’m certainly not going to abdicate my responsibility to continue to fight for [a coronavirus relief package],” Pressley advised. “You know, this Democratic majority-led House has passed multiple bills to meet the scale and scope of this crisis to mitigate the hurt people are feeling, and this callous, and might...

It's been happening for several years now, especially in the autumn, but it never ceases to unsettle meteorologists like myself: Temperatures in the Arctic are astonishingly warmer than they should be. According to the University of Maine's Climate Reanlayzer, this weekend the Arctic Circle was an average 12 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. "It's all but becoming an annual reminder of the rapid climate change we have observed in the Arctic," explains Dr. Zack Labe, an Arctic climate specialist from Colorado State University. While the pace of global warming is the fastest we have seen in millions of years, nowhere is...

With credible allegations of fraud compounding by the day, the American people deserve a special counsel investigation to set the record straight.Well, it’s been decided. The powers that be have declared that Joe Biden is the next president of the United States, signaling an end of discussion for all right-thinking members of polite society. The election is over, Biden won, and it was legitimate. They’re sure of it. And no, they’re not taking any questions. Everyone of goodwill in the country is now supposed to accept on faith that those overseeing the election process are reasonable and honorable people, bound...

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wants to put in place a tax on certain guns that people already own. According to one analysis, the plan could cost current gun owners across the country a total of up to $34 billion. Biden wants to enact legislation to ban the manufacture and sale of “assault” weapons and high-capacity magazines. He also plans to include those weapons into the National Firearms Act in order to impose a $200 tax for each gun that someone possesses already. Nicholas Giordano, a Professor of Political Science at Suffolk Community College, says Biden’s proposal goes against the...

"By faith Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped" (Heb. 11:21). Jacob’s life typifies the spiritual pilgrimage from selfishness to submission. Jacob's life can be outlined in three phases: A stolen blessing, a conditional commitment, and a sincere supplication. From the very beginning it was God's intention to bless Jacob in a special way. But Jacob, whose name means "trickster," "supplanter," or "usurper," tricked his father into blessing him instead of his older brother, Esau (Gen. 27:1-29). As a result, Jacob had to flee from Esau and spend fourteen years herding flocks for...

On November 19 an extraordinary press conference was held, led by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, powerhouse attorney Sidney Powell, and Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis. Backed by additional members of President Trump’s legal team, the group provided what they described as an “opening presentation” that detailed the direction their subsequent legal challenges would take and provided examples of some of the large amounts of evidence that they said they had received or collected. Anyone watching the conference live as it happened could not have been anything but impressed with the gravitas and enormity of the event, of the...

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday announced that the State Department will ban funding for any organization it determines participates in the global boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, labeling such activity as anti-Semitic. The announcement was expected for several weeks and had earlier drawn pushback from civil and human rights groups that warned the effort politicized the fight against anti-Semitism and could delegitimize the work human rights organizations conduct around the world. The secretary made the announcement alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while on travel in Jerusalem and said the State Department would work quickly...

Mark Levin: Let’s see, Georgie invites Christie on his show, predictably Christie trashes Trump’s lawyers, and Hogan, the Maryland governor who voted for Reagan this last election, and Toomey, who was involved in the appointment of the Pennsylvania judge who should not have dismissed that case, are also critical. None of these three nitwits have addressed what the Democrats have done in these states to make it extremely difficult for a Republican presidential nominee to win these states again, and none of them have any concern at all about the constitutional issues. I understand this is hard and the pressure...

President Donald Trump tweeted late Sunday night that "there were more votes than people who voted" in key swing states and insisted that he won the 2020 presidential election. "In certain swing states, there were more votes than people who voted, and in big numbers. Does that not really matter?" the president wrote on Twitter. "Stopping Poll Watchers, voting for unsuspecting people, fake ballots and so much more. Such egregious conduct. We will win!" In another post, Trump linked to a Breitbart piece detailing how his "Anti-Globalism, Pro-Police Message" led to gains in Hispanic support and added, "Great, but we...

Technically, it was one pocket of that historically Black neighborhood, a two-block zone bounded by Fillmore, Steiner, Golden Gate and Fulton streets. (If you think of places in terms of landmarks, that’s catty-corner from the northeast tip of Alamo Square.) There, Trump earned 35.04% of the vote.
