LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court made Joe Biden’s win in the state official on Tuesday, approving the state's final canvass of the Nov. 3 election. The unanimous action by the seven nonpartisan justices sends to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak results that will deliver six electoral votes from the western U.S. battleground state to Biden. The court action drew extra scrutiny amid legal efforts by the state GOP and Trump campaign to prevent sending vote-by-mail ballots to all 1.82 million active registered voters and then to stop the counting of the 1.4 million votes that were cast.

If I could give Donald Trump a message I would say, please Mr. President, keep the faith. You have been nothing short of spectacular over the last four years. Your limiting of regulatory overreach so that Americans of all stripes could pursue success and happiness unfettered by government was genius. The result was an economy on fire and record unemployment. Your track record of filling courts with originalist jurists has created a bulwark against the red tide of liberalism. Your willingness to step away from organizations and policies that have been followed for decades to America’s detriment took extraordinary courage....

An education company producing school textbooks and exam papers has revealed guidelines to "flip" gender stereotypes in its products. Pearson, which owns exam board Edexcel and is one of the country's biggest education companies, has asked employees to "avoid unconscious bias" by promoting "women and girls in traditionally masculine roles and vice versa". It says this could include girls dressed as firefighters, astronauts or playing with trucks, and boys watering plants, playing in a pretend kitchen, or performing a dance competition. "Show women as the business owner, painting the house, wearing the lab coat and fixing the car and men...

In the bordered table below, I posted an inspiring exchange between FReepers TruthWillWin and missthethunder. If you just want a quick look, skip over my comments here to read the text in the bordered table below. While I may not agree with the hypothetical result should we fail to rise and demand fair elections, (I think we'd be owned/operated by the Chinese/UN), I believe it portrays OUR RESOLVE. We're still Americans, lest our enemies forgot. After years of prior presidents' efforts to destroy the Constitution, we're still here to defend it. The MSM and their handlers are trying to shame...

The Chinese Coronavirus (COVID-19) hit American shores — officially, anyway, there is significant evidence that it arrived earlier — in late January 2020. The American public was then told that a two-week shutdown of the economy would “flatten the curve,” relieving the pressure on hospital intensive care units and saving lives in the long run. The average American, including conservatives, being people of good faith, complied, thinking that this was a common-sense measure that would save lives in the wake of a new and mysterious pandemic. But two things quickly happened: First, the goalposts moved. No longer was it enough...

<p>A sixteen-year-old Muslim youth opened fire on Friday and killed a member of Pakistan’s minority Ahmadi community in eastern Punjab province, police and the community’s spokesman said. The shooting came as a group of Ahmadis were gathered for worship at a home in the district of Sanghla Hill. The attacker, Mohammad Mohab, was arrested, the police chief said. The slain main, Tahir Ahmad, 31, was a homeopathic doctor. Three other Ahmadi men were wounded in the shooting, including the doctor’s father whose condition was described as critical. The shooting came as a group of Ahmadis were gathered for worship at a home in the district of Sanghla Hill, local police chief Malik Shamshair said. The attacker, Mohammad Mohab, was arrested, the police chief said. The slain main, Tahir Ahmad, 31, was a homeopathic doctor. Three other Ahmadi men were wounded in the shooting, including the doctor’s father whose condition was described as critical. ADVERTISEMENT According to Shamshair, the teen said he opened fire at the Ahmadis because they were insulting Islam. Saleem Uddin, a spokesman for Pakistan’s Ahmadi community, condemned the attack and said the members of their community were targeted because of their faith. The Ahmadis have failed to get adequate protection from Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government amid a surge in attacks in recent years, he said. The Ahmadi faith was established on the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, whose followers believe he was a prophet. Pakistan’s parliament declared Ahmadis non-Muslims in 1974. Since then, Ahmadis have repeatedly been targeted by Islamic extremists in this Muslim majority nation in attacks that have drawn condemnation from human right groups.</p>

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said during a press conference that not wearing a mask while being out in public is like driving while drunk and there is no Constitutional right to do either of those things. "Well, it's sort of like saying, 'I have a Constitutional right to drive drunk. I have a Constitutional right to not wear a seatbelt,' or to yell 'fire' in a crowded movie theatre or to not follow the speed limit. We're talking about a quarter of a million people dying already. More than the Korean War, the Gulf War, and the Vietnam War...

Wast just informed by my boss I will be asked to go home if I don't wear a mask while on premise. Informed him of my anxiety condition and he said get a doctors note. Informed him the are I work in is 900 Square feet and I am generally the only person in that office and "the rules" say I am exempt from a mask under those conditions. "Go tell your king newsom but, that is the way it is" he replied. "If you have to wear a mask at the grocery store, you can wear one at work"...

Worst apartheid regime ever. Will this gesture of good will stop the “Palestinians” from disseminating genocidal rhetoric and glorifying those who murder Israeli civilians? Of course not. The jihad imperative continues regardless of what the kuffar do. “Israel to Procure, Transfer Millions of COVID-19 Vaccines to Palestinians,” i24 News, November 22, 2020: i24 News – A senior Palestinian Authority official claimed on Sunday that Israel has agreed to transfer millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine to Ramallah in the coming months, according to Israeli daily Israel Hayom. Some three to four million coronavirus vaccines are expected to reach Palestinian medical...

Fox News revealed its true colors on election night. At least that’s the common narrative spoken in conservative circles. But the truth is more nefarious, more sinister. Fox News has been quietly working against President Trump and conservatives since shortly after his election. They just did it stealthily and attempted to shift their network and their formerly massive audience to the center. This is why they must be pushed even further. If there’s one thing we can say about CNN, MSNBC, and network news channels, it’s that we know the enemy well. There is no subterfuge in their ideology, no...

Georgia will begin a second recount on Tuesday after President Donald Trump’s campaign requested another recount over the weekend. “Today, the Trump campaign filed a petition for recount in Georgia.” The Trump campaign said in a statement on Saturday. “We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted.” “President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards.” The statement continued. “Without signature matching, this recount would be a sham...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff (GA) is endorsed by the Mike Bloomberg-founded gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety. Everytown originally announced its endorsement of Ossoff on September 15, 2020, then re-announced it following the development of a January 5, 2021, runoff between Ossoff and pro-Second Amendment Senator David Perdue (R-GA). On November 8, 2020, Everytown posted their announcement of support for Ossoff in the runoff, making clear their backing includes the support of Bloomberg gun control subsidiary, Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety. Everytown’s John Feinblatt said, “David Perdue…[has] declared fealty to the gun lobby and opposed bipartisan gun...

Massive (but not widespread) election fraud occurred on November 3: Smartmatic election software was developed in Venezuela with porous security and built-in functionality allowing system administrators to override the security features it pretended to incorporate. Among the extraordinary privileges it granted to administrators were abilities to: 1. shave votes continuously from one candidate to another; batch ballots for later “adjudication” but which instead became a pool of votes that the administrator could simply assign to the candidate of choice; generate blank ballots. 2. Through a string of corporate mergers and acquisitions, that software ended up in systems made by Dominion...

By Jim Reid, chief credit strategist at Deutsche BankMonday’s are the new Friday’s. AstraZeneca/Oxford Uni kept the vaccine Monday theme going this morning by revealing their vaccine is effective (70% average) albeit with the tantalising prospect that the technique that suggested 90% effectiveness (half dose first followed by the full dose) could be used for all rather than the 62% effective treatment (two full dosages). In terms of why a half dose might be more effective first it could be with how it better primes the immune system.Today’s chart of the day updates when we could first vaccinate the vulnerable...

An employee at a Publix supermarket in Miami-Dade county was allegedly prohibited from wearing a mask at work. Now his family is suing the company over his death. The coronavirus had already made its way well into the US by the time Gerardo Gutierrez, 70, asked his employer if he’d be permitted to wear a face mask while he worked. Despite the fact that his deli counter colleague was showing signs of the illness as they worked together on March 27 and 28, Publix told him that masks were not allowed because they may “scare” customers, the family’s lawyer has...

Life is too short to live it in fear of dying.More than eight months after “15 days to flatten the curve,” our so-called medical experts, politicos, and pundits are bidding us to avoid our family at all costs over the holidays, lest we die. This Thanksgiving week, family separation is the name of the game, with governors and local authorities implementing onerous restrictions to discourage people from leaving their homes.“If you are planning to spend Thanksgiving with people outside your household, we urge you to reconsider,” wrote a group of governors in the pages of the Washington Post.
