NEW YORK - Former President Barack Obama, already a million-selling author, is also a prize-winning author. PEN America announced Wednesday that Obama will receive its second annual Voice of Influence Award in recognition of how his writings “have traversed political, social, and ideological bounds and framed a self-reflective humanism that has marked his influence on public life.” During the ceremony, Obama and historian Ron Chernow, a former PEN board president, will discuss freedom of expression and the importance of truth in a world of misinformation. “As an organization of writers, we have always seen President Obama not just as a...

By the time you read this, Sidney Powell may have released her Kraken on America in the form of a filing about election events in Georgia. Until then, though, there is a healthy debate about whether Powell can make the case that Dominion and Smartmatic, both of which played a role in the disputed states, have Venezuela ties that prove their connection to American fraud. Roger L. Simon has entered the fray, detailing what two informants told him as background about these two companies and their ties to Venezuela.Writing at the Epoch Times, Simon, who tackles facts like a rigorous...

Will South African style land transfer legislation be coming to the United States? An American nationalist by the name of Michael Lewis reached out to the Red Elephants to raise awareness about legislation being introduced by U.S. Senator Cory Booker that would set up a race-based land grant system inside of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. On November 19, 2020 Booker released a statement about the bill titled The Justice for Black Farmers Act that plans to establish The Equitable Land Access Service system. This land redistribution system would be led by an Under Secretary of Agriculture for Equitable Land...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and President Trump have found one thing they can agree on. The governor took aim at members of the media for taking on a “nastier tone” and openly disrespecting the president at press conferences. “The way they question President Trump at some of these press conferences is just — I’ve never heard that tone with the president,” the New York governor told WAMC host Alan Chartock on Monday. When Chartock countered with, “Well, he deserves it, doesn’t he?” Cuomo doubled down.

See also: Sorry, Tucker, your outrage is too little, too lateIt’s no secret that I admire Tucker Carlson, an honest, brave, and extraordinarily insightful commentator whose Fox News program was, until recently, the most popular program on cable news. With Fox News’ news operation calling Arizona for Biden early on Election Night, and subsequently dogmatically labeling Biden “president-elect” and often dissing those who question the legitimacy of the election tabulations of the mainstream media and the media’s proclamation of the winner, conservatives are infuriated at the network and all its personnel.Dex Bahr today excoriates Tucker on these pages, but I...

Imagine what Thursday will be like at her house.

The Trump campaign paid millions of dollars for a recount in Wisconsin’s Milwaukee and Dane counties. Recall, Wisconsin suspended counting on election night when President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by approximately 130,000 votes.

Governor Kristi Noem @govkristinoem The Christmas tree is a symbol of rebirth and renewal. Tonight, we turned the lights on to all the beautiful Christmas trees lining the halls of the State Capitol. Thank you to all who helped make this possible. Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the Christmas season!

President Trump has frequently and openly speculated about firing FBI Director Christopher Wray after the election, but Mr. Wray continues to enjoy support from some GOP senators. Sen. Jerry Moran, the Kansas Republican who chairs the appropriations subcommittee that controls the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s budget, defended FBI Director Christopher Wray in a statement to The Wall Street Journal this week, saying he “has professionally led the bureau through its complex missions to reduce violent crime, combat foreign threats and terrorism, preserve the integrity of the financial system, and protect our children from exploitation.”

In a bizarre video retweeted Tuesday by President Donald Trump, a sinister-looking Randy Quaid is seen in a closeup with flashing lights illuminating his bearded face as he intones, “Fox News daytime ratings have completely collapsed.” Did the actor, who posted his proclamation nearly two weeks ago, know what he was talking about? Fox’s daytime viewership dropped 32 percent from the two weeks prior to Election Day to the two weeks after, the Nielsen company said. The post-election, weekday average daytime viewership of 1.63 million was roughly equivalent to that of CNN (1.68 million) and MSNBC (1.71 million). CNN was...

Nina Jain was regularly checking the nation’s COVID-19 data and holding out hope that her son Antonio, a sophomore who attends college in Iowa, could come home to Sacramento, California, for Thanksgiving this week. Jain, who works in a government office, had her hopes dashed when she saw U.S. COVID-19 cases rise by an average of more than 168,000 per day last week. Antonio canceled his flight on Friday, hours before it was scheduled to depart, heeding public health warnings that a nationwide dispersal of college students heading home for the holidays could fuel a deadly wave of infections. “It’s...

The Bible makes it clear that our trials are orchestrated by God. It was he who allowed the Israelites to hunger and thirst — even though he was always faithful to his Word and miraculously provided for his people. “He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and water gushed out … For He remembered His holy promise” (Psalm 105:40-42). The Father led the children of Israel into dire testings for a specific purpose: to prepare them to trust his holy Word. Why? Because he was about to take them into a land...

"By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's edict" (Heb. 11:23). God makes His plans; you walk in them by faith. He doesn’t need your help or counsel—just your obedience and trust. It has been wisely said that trying to improve on God's plan is more pretentious than trying to improve the Mona Lisa with an ink pen. All you'd do is ruin the masterpiece. The story of Amram and Jochebed, the parents of Moses, is about...

Journalists have strongly slanted the "news" during the Trump era in order to destroy Donald Trump's presidency, and to destroy it early if possible. Their actions betray that they feel they have important and influential platforms from which they can and should run America in between elections. The voters can have a say for about two weeks every two years. Recall 2004, when Newsweek's Evan Thomas admitted the press would go all in for Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees John Kerry and John Edwards, and that the effort would "be worth maybe 15 points." That wasn't enough in 2004....

The Democrats, their Big Media and Big Tech giants all claim Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the election of 2020. They say Biden is the 46th President of the United States. Big Media claims Biden and Harris won: .......Snip....... Crazy thing is, if this is true, then why hasn’t Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President in US history, not resigned from the Senate?

KANSAS CITY, MO -- Despite an ongoing pandemic that has killed at least 5,326 Kansans and Missourians, Kansas City area bars are expecting a lot of people out on the town to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. The Wednesday before Thanksgiving - sometimes referred to as Drinksgiving or Blackout Wednesday - is a famously busy day for bars. But this year comes with new rules amid the pandemic. At Chicken N Pickle in Kansas City, MO, they are having to turn some customers away from their pop-up Christmas bar "Snowbound" because the reservations filled up so quickly. Bars like Chicken N...

During an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Joe Biden stated that “it’s a patriotic responsibility to wear a mask, to socially distance.” And that both items are “critical pieces to dealing with bringing down this virus in a more manageable place.” Biden said, “I hope that we’re going to be able to have a united voice on the need to mask, socially distance, testing and tracing. They’re critical, critical pieces to dealing with bringing down this virus in a more manageable place. The words of a president matter. And I think it’s critically important, I think...

Scott Baio, a Trump-supporting actor, threatened to move to Utah and run against Mitt Romney in an effort to “unseat” the Republican senator. Baio, best known for his role as Chachi, cousin of ‘The Fonz’ in the late-70s to early-80s sitcom Happy Days, took issue with Romney’s latest criticism of the President. “Hey [Mitt], beautiful golf courses in Utah … maybe I’ll move there, play a few rounds and unseat you,” Baio tweeted. The actor also alleged that Romney’s campaign kept a $2,600 contribution from his wife for a fundraiser in Beverly Hills that was canceled. “My wife is still...
