When a federal judge rendered his opinion in President Donald Trump's effort to challenge the outcome of the 2020 election by alleging fraud in Pennsylvania, the ruling not only dismissed the case, it was dismissive of the president's legal team. Judge Matthew Brann, a Republican, described the legal case Saturday as a "Frankenstein's monster" that was "haphazardly stitched together." The last time a presidential campaign became embroiled in a protracted legal battle, in 2000, some of the nation's most prestigious lawyers signed on with then-Gov. George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. The case catapulted many of them to...

The 1992 election cycle was dubbed by the media as “the year of the woman,” and Democrats set about getting that tattooed on their lower backs to commemorate the election of a group of female lawmakers, mostly Democrats, to Congress. The left drooled over it, “think pieces” were written about how this was a direct result of the Supreme Court nomination fight over Justice Clarence Thomas and the wild, false allegations of sexual harassment by Anita Hill. It perfectly fit a liberal narrative at the time, and still, that Republicans are somehow anti-women, so the election results that year were...

Having your win stolen blatantly and yet concede it without a fight is not a sign of the moral high ground. Instead, it is a death sentence to your political future. The Republican establishment is trying hard to convince President Trump to concede. Some of the so-called conservative pundits are eager to assure their viewers and readers that now is the time to look forward to 2022 and 2024. There is only one perfect label for them: cowards! There is massive evidence showing that the Left have committed the greatest election theft in history. Anyone with an open mind can...

Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal lawyer, explained why the Trump campaign released a statement on Sunday distancing itself from attorney Sidney Powell. “I think it’s because we’re pursuing two different theories,” Giuliani told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs. “Our theory of the case to get to the Supreme Court, now in four places, and it’s soon going to be in two others, and there will be an overall lawsuit, is basically misconduct of the election by state officials in at least five or six different states in which the misconduct of the election involved deprivation of constitutional rights for the...

What was Joe Biden thinking for his choice of climate-change ambassador extraordinaire? John Kerry is one of the biggest gasbags in American politics, singlehandedly responsible for massive amounts of terrible emissions. People have been laughing at him since Yale, when Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau was zinging his pretentious, vacuous self-promotion. We look forward to the anti-carbon lectures from a guy who travels the globe on private jets and luxury yachts. Set aside his deer-in-the-headlights loss as Democrats’ presidential nominee in 2004. He was a joke as secretary of state under President Barack Obama - off on his yacht during Egypt’s...

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Meijer is limiting liquor purchases as Michiganders gear up for the Thanksgiving holiday. The grocery retailer is limiting spirit purchases to two bottles of each item, WPBN/WGTU reports. The limit doesn’t apply to beer, wine or giftsets. Meijer spokesperson Frank Guglielmi told the TV station the move is meant to insure against shortages that would leave some shoppers without ingredients for their holiday cocktails.

Your hatred for Trump will be your undoing. I do NOT believe Trump will reverse the election.

Long ago Mitch McConnell vowed to leave no federal judicial vacancy unfilled by the end of Trump’s first term. That promise is close to being kept despite Democrat and media outcry. Mitch McConnell long ago promised to leave no federal court vacancy unfilled by the end of Trump’s first term. Depending on what happens in the next three weeks, this may be Trump’s only term and McConnell has continued moving judicial nominations through to confirmation. Needless to say, Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are not happy, particularly as Republican’s move to fill a vacancy on the First...

President-elect Joe Biden will give his first post-election TV interview to Lester Holt of NBC News, the network announced Monday. The interview will air Tuesday at 6:30 pm on “NBC Nightly News.” Additional clips will air Wednesday on the “Today” show and cable channel MSNBC. Holt hosted a controversial campaign town hall event with Biden last month that critics slammed as an “infomercial” for the Democratic candidate. Two of the “undecided” voters who asked Biden questions at the Holt-moderated town hall had appeared on MSNBC in August to support Biden. It’s unclear when exactly the interview will be conducted.

An all-Black officiating crew worked an NFL game for the first time in league history when the Los Angeles Rams faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

It’s just the flu, bro. I have been listening to a lot of Jordan Peterson discussing alexander solzhenitsyn, who wrote the Gulag Archepelego. This is the book that made outright Communism untenable for the leftists - too many people knew it was evil. Instead, leftists were forced to promote more subtle versions of what they wanted, such as democratic socialism. “To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good... Ideology - that is what gives devildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social...

“You’re already unsellable.” This week in inexplicable crimes: police in Kushiro City, Hokkaido Prefecture announced the arrest of a woman suspected of puncturing 13 melons with her finger. However, rather than the simple greed that compelled a man to damage several Demon Slayer packages to get to the toy he wanted, her motives remain a mystery. The crime occurred on 28 July, when the 64-year-old suspect entered a supermarket and allegedly stabbed the baker’s dozen of melons with her finger at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon. It’s important to note that these aren’t just ordinary melons, but the renowned Yubari...

LONDON/BRUSSELS - Can you put a price on pollution? Some of the world’s biggest economies are doing just that as they wrestle with how to make good on grand pledges to tame planet-warming emissions. Matters are coming to a head. China, Japan and South Korea have all followed the European Union in pledging to cut emissions to “net zero” in recent weeks, where they release only as much as they remove from the air. U.S. President-elect Joe Biden made the same promise in his election campaign. Next year they are set to lay out the first practical measures to meet...

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said in an op-ed on Monday that he hopes President-elect Joe Biden will take “America First” out of the national security strategy for his incoming administration. Mattis penned the op-ed, titled “Defense in Depth,” for Foreign Affairs with Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, Jim Ellis, a fellow at the Hoover Institution and former commander of U.S. Strategic Command, and Joe Felter, a fellow at the Hoover Institution. “In January, when President Joe Biden and his national security team begin to reevaluate U.S. foreign policy, we hope...

Trumpy Bear is exasperated! We continue to hear that Joe Biden is the "President Elect" and that is just not true. The main stream media can say that until they are blue in the face but that will not make it true. And by the way, you can include Fox News in this fiasco. Did you know that Fox News is 56% owned by the Arabs? I wonder if that has anything to do with their current position? Arabs sell oil and Biden will stop fracking. Try checking that one out. Journalism is dead. Trumpy Bear remembers those "young minds...

Like everybody else on the “far right” I have been interested for the last week in “The Great Reset” that has been hyped by the Magic Mountain set at the World Economic Forum. *snip* Notice how the WEF’s “green recovery” and “inclusive” align with Joe Biden’s proposed $500 billion a year climate plan and his “systemic racism” plan? But it’s not a conspiracy! No sir! Actually, what it is, is less exciting. It is a manifestation of what Joe Sobran and then Tom Bethell called, many moons ago, “The Hive.” Quite simply, humans, like bees, don’t need to have detailed...

We do well to further examine a quality of Christ’s kingship mentioned in yesterday’s sermon notes, namely that he is a “concealed” King. In the gospel, both the saved and condemned are surprised and wonder when they encountered Jesus at all, whether as hungry, thirsty, naked, a stranger, sick or in prison. He replies, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ (Matt 25:41). So, although concealed, Jesus says he was, quite present in those who were in such need. To examine and further understand the concealment...

This war is much more than disputes over fraudulent elections, though that would be cause enough. The Democratic Party is a means. The new war has been imagined, developed, and phased in over decades by the left. It’s unconventional, asymmetric, and cunning. It’s insidious, and has been about stealth and infiltration more so than outright confrontation -- until this year, when state shutdowns have been imposed to test the limits of tyranny… to gauge the level of tolerance of unconstitutional centralized rule over a free people. Targeted violence has been employed in cities to engender angst, a sense of helplessness,...

November 24 2020 Memorial of Saint Andrew Dung-Lac, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs Thirty Fourth Tuesday in Ordinary TimeLectionary: 504Reading 1 RV 14:14-19 I, John, looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, “Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth’s harvest is fully ripe.” So...
