Sadly, the Newsom Chronicles has not yet been canceled, but added a new episode. After King Gavin’s “Doubling Down on Stupid”, and new curfews, we have this curious development: “California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his family are in isolation after three of his children were exposed to a California Highway Patrol officer who tested positive for COVID-19, Newsom said in a tweet late Sunday night. “Newsom said that his entire family tested negative but will adhere to local guidance by quarantining for 14 days. ” ‘We are grateful for all the officers that keep our family safe and for every...

Big Data Poll Director Richard Baris slammed both Big Tech and the liberal media after being silenced by Twitter for speaking out about voter fraud in the 2020 election. Baris was blocked from his Twitter account earlier this month for sharing research pointing to the possibility of voter fraud. His wife Laura and his polling firm were also blocked from their respective accounts as well. Baris’s account has since been restored. In a new interview with MRC Business, Baris warned about the interference of Big Tech and the liberal media into the 2020 election by hoodwinking the American people into...

The 2020 American Music Awards delivered a big decline in rating and total viewership from last year, falling to record lows in both measurements. Last night’s awards show, which was hosted by “Empire” star Taraji P. Henson and saw Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Dan + Shay emerge as the big winners, averaged a 0.9 rating among adults 18-49 and around 3.8 million total viewers. That represents a 50% rating decline and a 43% loss in total viewership. For comparison, last years AMAs were down only 4% on the year prior in the ratings column, and in fact gained around...

[excerpt] "...while Black Lives Matter claim to oppose police abuse and racism around the world, the organization is simultaneously a great supporter of some of the world’s most brutal and repressive dictators. In particular, the founders of BLM have been staunch supporters and allies of the sanguinary Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro and of the Castro regime in Cuba. In December 2015 Black Lives Matter sent a delegation, headed by the organization’s co-founder, Opal Tometi, to act as observers during the Venezuelan Parliamentary elections of that year. The Maduro regime did not allow accreditation for observers from the Organization of American...

My sweet Mom found this Thanksgiving funny online today: "Make sure that you turn your weight scale back 10 lbs. Wednesday night before retiring." :-D

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced Monday morning that the Department of Justice will not pursue an investigation into the funding behind the violent agitators who attacked RNC attendees after the Republican National Convention last summer. Senator Paul, his wife, and many other Republicans were terrorized by a “crazed mob” on the streets of D.C. upon exiting the White House grounds following President Trump’s RNC acceptance speech on the night of August 27. “The DC U.S. Attorney today confirmed to me that they will not pursue an investigation of who is funding the thugs who attacked my wife and me and...

A woman walking a Florida beach thought she had come across a decapitated body. Thankfully, it just turned out to be the type of figure you’d see showing off clothing from a store window. The headless mannequin spotted on Perdido Key near A volunteer for an environmental nonprofit in Florida discovered what she thought was a dead body while cleaning up a beach in the state — but the corpse turned out to just be a store mannequin. Ocean Hour, a Florida based nonprofit that organizes beach cleanups across the state, shared news of what happened on Facebook on Monday....

Although the outcome of the presidential election has yet to be certified – and with recounts, lawsuits, and investigations ongoing – gun control advocates are wasting no time cozying up to Joe Biden, and demanding his “executive action” to restrict access to firearms. A recent article in Michael Bloomberg’s gun control propaganda arm, The Trace, detailed what it called “7 Ways Biden Could Go It Alone on Gun Violence Prevention.” The article noted that the would-be president’s own website states, “Joe Biden ... knows how to make progress on reducing gun violence using executive action.” “Executive action” in this...

With more than 19,000 mail-in ballots returned to Broome County this year, there were bound to be a few errors. In those cases, election workers were tasked with curing the ballot. That means reaching out to the voter and letting them correct the mistake before election commissioners disqualify the ballot. But not all counties in New York cured ballots until this fall. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a “notice and cure” act in August, after the state saw an unprecedented number of absentee ballots for the June primaries returned with errors and rejected. Dutko said the law requires boards...

They "shall suffer death." -- The first penalty mentioned in U.S. law for people guilty of treason. So, Joe Scarborough: what shall it be for President Trump and others you've suggested could be guilty of treason? Death, or one of the lesser penalties enumerated? Public executions, perhaps, on Inauguration Day? Wanna volunteer for the firing squad? On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough accused President Trump and his legal team, with the "silent approval" of Mitch McConnell, of attempting a "coup" to "overthrow the presidency" of Joe Biden....which hasn't been certified yet. Scarborough concluded his rant by melodramatically intoning: "None dare...

So, here is my question. Would you be willing to risk catching Covid if it would mean that your kids and grandkids would have a "normal" life? I am 65, but otherwise I have no co-mobidities, and I am very healthy. I don't want to get the disease, but I would rather be sick for a few weeks if it would mean that life could get back to normal for my family. I am sick of my kids suffering inadequate online classes (for college and graduate courses), of cancelled weddings (twice for us thus far), of cancelled summer plans to...

Everything you need to know about what gun and ammo makers face.~~~Firearms manufacturers are certainly in the crosshairs as both the Democrat's campaign website and his stump speeches have specifically targeted the industry. So let's see what a Biden presidency might mean for gunmakers and potential sales.Shooting through the roof Industry observers dubbed former president Barack Obama the greatest gun salesman ever because sales soared during his administration due to fear he would enact strict gun control legislation. FBI criminal background checks more than doubled during his eight years in office, rising from 12.7 million in 2008 to over 27.5...

Nov. 23 (UPI) -- A Florida man jumped into a pond to rescue his puppy from the jaws of a hungry alligator that had grabbed the canine and dragged him under water. Richard Wilbanks said he was outside his family's Estero home when he heard Gunner, the puppy he had only recently adopted, crying out in distress. Wilbanks rushed to the back of the house, where he saw an alligator had grabbed Gunner and was dragging the dog under water. A Florida Wildlife Federation surveillance camera recorded the moment Wilbanks jumped into the water to pry open the gator's jaws,...

I’m sorry for the vanity, but this seems like a VITAL question that nobody’s talking about. Have the voting irregularities in Michigan not just victimized Trump, but also an AFRICAN-AMERICAN CANDIDATE FOR US SENATE? I’m talking about GOP candidate John James. If so, shouldn’t the GOP have had John James at the press conference with Rudy and the other lawyers last week? The Democrat Party systematically disenfranchised black voters in the South for decades after the Civil War. Have they tried to do so this year for supporters of a black US Senate hopeful?

Attorney L. Lin Wood, who has been filing lawsuits for President Donald Trump challenging the election results, called on Republicans to withhold their votes for two GOP senators in an upcoming runoff election that will decide which party holds the majority of the Senate, Mediaite reports.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — A 230-meter (755 feet) tall wind turbine in Arctic Sweden came crashing down on the snow during the weekend as high winds swept across the region, officials said Monday. No one was injured. She added that she believed it was the first time such an incident took place in Sweden. It was not clear whether the collapsed wind mill was working or whether it was under construction at the time of the collapse.

What we saw in the lead up to the elections, and what we’ll witness for years to come, is utter contempt for Trump voters and conservatives in general.American satirist Ambrose Bierce defined the presidency as “the greased pig in the field game of American politics.” If ever there was a year in which that is true, surely it is 2020. Most of us, in one way or another, have looked about as foolish and flummoxed as participants in a country pig scramble.Yet if I were to offer a vote for most absurd, it would be those who indulged in sanctimonious...

Ardern said Biden wanted to pursue the discussion on New Zealand’s response further. But she cautioned that the nation’s model may not be able to be replicated everywhere. “While New Zealand has a number of natural advantages that have assisted us in managing the virus, I do absolutely believe that international cooperation continues to be key to getting the virus under control,” Ardern said. “We are happy to work with any country to share our knowledge and data if its helpful.” Biden praised Ardern’s “extraordinary leadership” following a 2019 mass shooting at two Christchurch mosques,
