Conservative operatives and a super PAC with ties to infamous GOP dirty trickster Roger Stone are calling for Trump supporters to punish Republicans by sitting out Georgia’s crucial Senate runoffs or writing in Trump’s name instead. And though their efforts remain on the party’s fringes, the trajectory of the movement has Republicans fearful that it could cost the GOP control of the Senate. The most aggressive call to boycott or cast protest ballots in the two runoff races has, so far, come from a dormant pro-Trump super PAC with ties to Stone that unveiled a new initiative to retaliate against...

A former rookie San Francisco police officer who was on his fourth day on the job when he fatally shot an unarmed carjacking suspect in 2017 has been charged with manslaughter, the city's top prosecutor announced Monday. District Attorney Chesa Boudin said it marked the first time a San Francisco law enforcement officer has been charged with a homicide while on duty. Christopher Samayoa was charged with voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, assault by an executive officer, assault with a semi automatic firearm and negligent discharge of a firearm in the killing of 42-year-old Keita O'Neil, Boudin said. Boudin called the...

We’ve given you a taste of the God-awful Fox television series that is Filthy Rich. There’s the greed and corruption from the Monreaux family of televangelists, including the illegitimate children. While last week's November 9 episode, “2 Corinthians 3:17” included a mother retelling how she refused a coerced abortion, that was an outlier. November 16's episode, “James 4:1,” pushed abortion. With Eugene Monreaux (Gerald McRaney) presumed dead, Margaret Monreaux (Kim Cattrall) is running the show. She must now cope with her daughter, Rose (Aubrey Dollar), going to New York City for an abortion. The father, Mark (Mark L. Young), presented...

Senator Dianne Feinstein caved to growing demands from the left-wing of the Democratic Party this week; announcing her decision to step-down from her leadership position on the Judiciary Committee after praising Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Supreme Court nomination process. “After serving as the lead Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for four years, I will not seek the chairmanship or ranking member position in the next Congress,” she said in a press release. ‘The nation’s eldest senator faced Democratic outrage after she concluded Barrett’s confirmation hearing by hugging Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and praised Graham for ‘one of the...

At least two Catholic bishops have been urging pro-lifers not to use the COVID vaccines on the ground that their development involved abortion. (You may recall a controversy last month regarding how President Trump’s COVID case was treated.) Drudge is linking to this story that centers on Joseph Brennan, the Catholic bishop of Fresno. Hayley Smith reports: Brennan joins a growing chorus of Catholic organizations concerned about stem cells and COVID-19 vaccines. . . . In July, the Philadelphia-based National Catholic Bioethics Center shared a statement in which President Joseph Meany described the potential reliance on a stem cell-developed vaccine...

The nasty, murderous old communist Leon Trotsky was wrong about almost everything. He died as he lived, as a bandit, with an icepick jammed in his head. Few men deserved it more. But one thing he said is correct: “You may not be interested in politics. But politics is interested in you.”Trotsky helped Lenin set up a system where that statement was truer than ever before. Where the state would forbid mothers and fathers from teaching their children about God. And citizens who wrote unorthodox opinions in private letters would disappear into gulags. (Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a decorated war veteran, was...

In the instance of a "prima facie case" of "substantial computerized election fraud," they wrote, McCarthy "would have even those state legislators who become fully persuaded that the count was fraudulent to sit back and see the person that their constituents actually elected be de-throned by CNN and National Review." "Legislators who want to carefully examine the election process, and take action if significant election fraud is found, would be simply giving effect to the vote of the people, not denying it. They should not, as Mr. McCarthy would want them to do, avert their eyes to the Big Steal."...

The Times reports that "Mr. Cuomo announced on Monday afternoon that he had invited his 89-year-old mother, Matilda, and two of his daughters to celebrate a very Cuomo Thanksgiving with him this week in Albany." The move was met with a slew of criticism from many, who questioned the Governor's hypocrisy on the matter. A few hours later, the Governor's plans had changed. The Times reports that "By Monday evening, Mr. Cuomo had rethought his Thanksgiving plans" and he would no longer be having dinner with his mother and daughters. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, the New York Governor has been...

Usually when we take time to dissemble a jerry-rigged pro-abortion post, we oft times go through it paragraph by paragraph. In this case, one of the latest in Media Matters’ never ending attacks on “right wing media,” we could actually conclude with just a look at two paragraphs since the rest of the post is just variations on its silly theme. Media Matters is described as a “politically left-leaning 501, nonprofit organization which acts as media watchdog for scrutinizing right-leaning media outlets.” Once upon a time it had some prominence as a counterweight to the conservative Media Research Center. Not...

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Laura Ingraham expressed her pessimism about the prospects of the 2020 presidential election going in Donald Trump’s favor. Ingraham also disputed any notion that saying it was likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden would be sworn in was a departure from conservatism.

WASHINGTON - Lawyers for a Libyan militant convicted in the Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans have asked for a new trial, citing what they say is “recently disclosed exculpatory evidence.” Ahmed Abu Khattala is serving a 22-year prison sentence after being convicted of multiple terrorism-related charges in connection with the 2012 attack on diplomatic compounds in Benghazi. The motion filed Monday in Washington’s federal court does not detail the newly disclosed evidence but says it concerns a key government witness who testified under a pseudonym at Khattala’s trial. The motion also says there is...

“We’ve had severe viral pandemics over the years, but this was the first pandemic of panic” with COVID-19, write the authors of the new book, The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic into a Catastrophe. This insightful, lucid work carefully exposes how global elites in academia, media, and politics responded to the latest coronavirus outbreak with botched societal cures truly worse than the disease. “The global response to COVID-19 vastly exceeded that to any other pandemic in history,” note the trio of Biola University biology professor Douglas Axe, statistician William M. Briggs, and Catholic...

Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com, went on with Christopher McDonald of “The McFiles” to discuss the “drop and roll” strategy Democrats used to steal the 2020 election from President Donald Trump. President Trump set all new records for a sitting US president in a presidential election. President Trump’s coattails were deep and wide, winning at least 14 GOP seats in the US House, holding the senate and picking up seats in several state legislative bodies. But it wasn’t enough to beat Joe Biden. As we previously reported Democrats used the “Drop and Roll” technique to steal the states...

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has banned the sale of alcohol at bars and restaurants across the state from 5 P.M. Wednesday, November 25th, until 8 A.M. Thanksgiving Day, November 26th. Wolf says the 15-hour prohibition is needed to protect Keystone State residents from the coronavirus...

The message to terrorists is that the U.S. and Israel don’t forgive or forget. Arch-Terrorist Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, also known by the name Mohammad al-Masri, a leading member of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, was assassinated, apparently by Israeli agents, in Tehran, Iran, at the request of the U.S., or more specifically the CIA. The timing of the revelation was aimed to embarrass the radical Shiite-Muslim Iranian regime, just as the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was about to deliberate on renewing the embargo against Iran. Moreover, exposing the fact that the Ayatollahs of Iran sheltered a leading al-Qaeda terrorist implicated...

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday that Texas can remove Planned Parenthood facilities from the state’s Medicaid program. Texas moved forward with cutting Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood in 2016 after the Center for Medical Progress released undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood staff appearing to participate in the illegal trafficking of aborted fetal body parts. After a years-long court battle, the Fifth Circuit has overruled a lower court ruling and has sided with the state of Texas. “Undercover video plainly showed Planned Parenthood admitting to morally bankrupt and unlawful conduct, including violations of federal law by manipulating...

Joe Biden has gone back to the well of the foreign policy establishment to select his Secretary of State-designate. Biden chose his longtime confidante Antony Blinken, who served as the former Deputy Secretary of State and Deputy National Security Advisor in the Obama administration and as then-Vice President Biden’s National Security Advisor. Blinken is a globalist who worries more about how other countries perceive America than how other countries, especially China, have manipulated multilateral institutions and agreements to the detriment of the American people. Indeed, Blinken wants to re-engage with the Chinese regime to deal with such global threats...

Hating America while it hands you the American Dream. Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was the first undocumented person to ever be a finalist for the National Book Award in 2020, according to the National Book Foundation. Her book The Undocumented Americans, published this year, is a runaway bestseller. It chronicles the lives of undocumented immigrants as well as Villavicencio’s own life in America. She was brought to the United States of America from Ecuador at age four or five by her parents—also undocumented immigrants. Villavicencio was also, she believes, the first undocumented immigrant to graduate from Harvard University. She did so...

Mamadou Ba, head of the Portuguese “anti-hate” group SOS Racismo, spoke of the need to “kill the white man” at a recent online conference on “hate speech”. Ba, a Portuguese citizen originally from Senegal, attended the conference on Saturday which was on the topic of “Racism and the Advancement of Hate Speech in the World”. During the conference, which was attended by Portuguese speakers from Portugal and Brazil, Ba stated “it is necessary to kill the white man, murderer, colonial, and racist” to “prevent the social death of the black political subject”. According to a report from Portuguese daily newspaper...

I never thought that my adopted home, the land of the free, would so soon start sounding like the one-party dictatorial state I left behind.The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is reportedly in the process of creating a global blacklist of critics who have supported or funded the freedom and democracy movement in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The list specifically targets those who reside outside mainland China. The scale of the project might be massive because, in Taiwan alone, at least 6 million people support Taiwan’s independence, which is a punishable crime in the eyes of the CCP. The Global Times,...
