Two NYPD officers were shot in Queens, New York on Tuesday by a City University of New York peace officer, police said, with both officers currently recovering at the hospital from their “very serious injuries,” the New York Post reported. Officer Christopher Wells was shot in both hands while his colleague Officer Joseph Murphy was bleeding immensely from a wound to his upper right thigh. Police said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon that the CUNY officer, Rondell Goppy, had previously had his gun taken away from him after a domestic dispute but had it returned to him a few...

In the early hours of November 4th, 2020, Democratic candidate Joe Biden received several major “vote spikes” that substantially — and decisively — improved his electoral position in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia. Much skepticism and uncertainty surrounds these “vote spikes.” Critics point to suspicious vote counting practices, extreme differences between the two major candidates’ vote counts, and the timing of the vote updates, among other factors, to cast doubt on the legitimacy of some of these spikes. While data analysis cannot on its own demonstrate fraud or systemic issues, it can point us to statistically anomalous cases that invite further...

The CNN host said Trump will forever be remembered as a viciously divisive demagogue “who lied about a pandemic to suit his own interest.” CNN’s Chris Cuomo delivered an ice-cold rebuke of Donald Trump after the president allowed the transition to his successor’s administration to begin, more than two weeks after the race was called for President-elect Joe Biden. “Lie, defy, deny. That is why he lost,” Cuomo said. “Now get this. He’s worried that this tantrum that has kept us from dealing with a pandemic and our duly elected president-elect ― it may hurt his brand. “Know this. This...

Man who discovered Eric Coomer Dominion Voting's Director of Strategy and Security and hardcore antifa. Promised his comrades Trump would not win.

“The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable” (Proverbs 25:3).

Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 “I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, . . . says the Lord Almighty.” What will it be like when we enter the presence of the Lord? The apostle Peter gave us an inspired perspective on this in 2 Peter 1:11, where he said, "There will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ." This is a picture of a grand and glorious homecoming. At the end of World War II thousands of servicemen returned home from Europe and the...

It’s just the flu, bro. There are massive numbers of false positives and very few true Coronavirus deaths these days. The recent weekly death numbers are similar to any mild flu season. This will never be worse than a mild flu season ever again - last April it was like a bad flu season. Politicians are panicking and they shouldn’t be. They are stripping people of their rights. Even Florida, which I thought eliminated all it lockdown rules, forced a bar to shut down because people were maskless. There is likely tyranny in all 50 states and the GOP are...

If only there had been a police officer there to save him. But Black Lives Matter had spent 2020 howling that police officers were racist slave-catching agents of a colonial state who needed to be abolished. Crime skyrocketed and BLM's racist organizers aren't immune from the consequences of their policies. A young protest leader known for his energy and optimism amid Louisville's movement for racial justice became a new symbol of gun violence when he was shot and killed early Monday. "Gun violence" is actually crime. Guns don't decide to carjack a car and then shoot someone. Criminals do. Unless...

If there’s one thing the recent riots (not protests) over George Floyd’s death have shown, it’s that Antifa is a terrorist organization. While patriotic Americans from both sides of the political spectrum peacefully protested to show their displeasure and disgust with the murder of George Floyd, the Antifa hooligans have been rioting and looting, destroying communities with lighters and thrown bricks. That shows that Antifa is a terrorist organization; they’re trying to use violence and public terror of their actions to affect a political outcome that they desire. Of course, just because Antifa is a terrorist organization doesn’t mean that...

The Wow! signal represented as "6EQUJ5". Credit: Big Ear Radio Observatory and North American AstroPhysical Observatory (NAAPO) ====================================================================== Amateur astronomer and YouTuber Alberto Caballero, one of the founders of The Exoplanets Channel, has found a small amount of evidence for a source of the notorious Wow! signal. In his paper uploaded to the arXiv preprint server, Caballero describes searching the Gaia database for possible sun-like stars that might host an exoplanet capable of supporting intelligent life. Back in 1977, astronomers working with the Big Ear Radio Telescope—at the time, situated in Delaware, Ohio—recorded a unique signal from somewhere in space....

When Michigan and Pennsylvania certified their election results this week, they proved that our democratic processes are resilient, capable of withstanding the onslaught of lawsuits and other measures by President Trump and his legal team to toss out votes. But voting rights advocates and activists still worry that even if the president's efforts to undermine the vote in predominantly Black communities didn't succeed, they could still have a negative long-term impact. The Trump team's questioning of the legitimacy of the votes in cities like Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Atlanta without presenting any evidence in court of large-scale illegal voting "really...

Question for all you guys on the left who were so concerned about Russian interference in the 2016 election: any thoughts on China’s in 2020?Biden's National Security Pick Said US Should "Encourage" China's Rise & Not Contain ItAnd what do you suppose they expect in return for their money/interference?Pretty much everything.Ah yes, the sheer inevitability of it all. It’s Chinatown.Posted from: MOTUS A.D.

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] This election was stolen. That becomes increasingly clear with every passing day. How it was stolen varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but a couple of common denominators are clear: – The presence of Dominion systems; and – Control of the process by Democrat election officials in big cities like Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. The state-level elecion officials are also Democrats in every state under scrutiny save Georgia, where nominal Republican Sec. State Brad Raffensperger was in control and nominal Republican Gov. Brian Kemp appears to have also been involved. Even today, more...

While President Donald Trump continues to resist the American tradition of conceding his election defeat, he took part in another time-honored tradition Tuesday: Pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey. The annual event typically serves as a light-hearted reprieve from the partisan rancor of Washington, with the president delivering remarks stuffed with bad puns and concluding with a playful pardon of a turkey. This year, the atmosphere surrounding Tuesday's pardon was notably more subdued. The president has largely remained out of public view since his election defeat, not taking a single question from reporters in the three weeks since and has instead...

WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden is expected to deliver a Thanksgiving address on Wednesday from Wilmington, Del. Biden's White House transition team said in a press release that the president-elect's speech would touch on "shared sacrifices Americans are making this holiday season" while delivering a message "that we can and will get through the current crisis together." Biden's speech comes as the coronavirus cases continue to increase around the country, raising alarm among some health officials that holiday travel and indoor gatherings could lead to more outbreaks. The country is also facing a surge in food insecurity due to the...

We not only had serious delays, but we had key states (MI, WI, and PA) suddenly flip from Trump to Biden overnight after some ballot dumps. PA suspiciously stopped counting mail in ballots at 9:30 PM. A Leftist source reports a very strange spike in Wisconsin for Biden. Another PA ballot dump reported a 92-8 margin, while another ballot dump of 23,277 was for Biden. Michigan’s vote dump had 138,339 Biden votes, which Decision Desk HQ said was an error that added an extra zero. Michigan gave 6,000 votes to Biden, but it was another glitch. Antrim County flipped blue...

As November winds down and Advent still looms, the traditional meditation we make on the four last things (death, judgment, Heaven, and Hell) is still operative. A classic writing by St. Cyprian comes to mind. It is a meditation on the fundamental human struggle to be free of undue attachment to this world and to have God (and the things waiting for us in Heaven) as our highest priority.In this meditation, St. Cyprian has in mind the Book of James and the Epistle of St. John. Yes, surely these dramatic texts are present in his mind as he writes....

Dissecting the electronic Steal by Patrick Byrne

This is a line in the g-ddamn sand: Several Penguin Random House Canada employees confronted management about the company’s decision to publish a new book by controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson at an emotional town hall Monday, and dozens more have filed anonymous complaints, according to four workers who spoke to VICE World News. On Monday, Penguin Random House Canada, Canada’s largest book publisher and a subsidiary of Penguin Random House, announced it will be publishing Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life by Peterson, to be released in March 2021. The book will be published by Portfolio in the...
