The title is the tweet.

Should Biden secure the presidency, it is almost certain that Americans will see their liberties evaporate very quickly in the coming years. Taking into account the resulting outrage over these developments, it is likely that heretofore law-abiding citizens will gravitate toward citizen militias and even nationalist organizations that may employ terrorist tactics. Once again, such a progression could escalate into civil war. We are most certainly already at war, although few have acknowledged this fact. I've taken some heat for comparing the first few salvos we've seen to actual military engagements and the horror that goes with them, but those...

Disney is expanding the scope of its layoffs to around 32,000 workers as the coronavirus pandemic continues to pummel the theme park industry. In an SEC filing published Wednesday, the company revealed that thousands of employees will have their jobs terminated in the first half of fiscal 2021. The majority of these layoffs will be from its parks, experiences and products division and include the 28,000 workers that the company previously announced in September. Prolonged closures at Disney’s California-based theme parks and limited attendance at its open parks has forced the company to slim down its workforce. In addition, as...

On Thanksgiving Day, we thank God for the abundant blessings in our lives. As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this season of generosity, hope, and gratitude, we commemorate America’s founding traditions of faith, family, and friendship, and give thanks for the principles of freedom, liberty, and democracy that make our country exceptional in the history of the world. This November marks 400 years since the Mayflower and its passengers faced the unknown and set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. Propelled by hope for a brighter future, these intrepid men and women endured two long months at sea,...

The U.S. Supreme Court granted an injunction Wednesday evening against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s restrictions on religious services in a 5-4 decision that saw Justice Amy Coney Barrett with the conservative majority — and Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the liberal minority.

The U.S. senator from Oklahoma said that while the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective, it will not be mandated for people to take it.

ANDY HUANG, WHO SERVES AS CORE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AT DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS, PREVIOUSLY WORKED AT CHINA TELECOM, THE NATIONAL PULSE CAN REVEAL. China Telecom is wholly run by the Chinese government, and has been identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as having collaborated with the country’s military for over two decades. Similarly, the Department of Justice flagged the firm for “concerns that China Telecom is vulnerable to exploitation, influence, and control by the Chinese government” and how “the nature of China Telecom’s U.S. operations” provide “opportunities for Chinese state-actors to engage in malicious cyber activity enabling...

In September, October, and November, the dead voted. This is stated as fact, by reporters and politicians, by attorneys and prosecutors. But it makes no sense. Zombies and vampires are fictional, the dead can’t really vote. So what does it mean when people say they did? Well, sometimes, there’s a simple explanation: through the use of such tools as traditional absentee ballots and the recent explosion of mail-in voting and “early voting,” it’s possible for a person to vote legally in September or October and die on or before election day. This does happen occasionally, but it’s a miniscule percentage...

Thanksgiving is a good time to reflect on the things you and your family are appreciative of in your lives. America is no different as a whole. America is better for having Trump as President the past four years, of that, we can certainly be thankful for this holiday. While it would be easy to simply say ‘Thank God America was led by Donald Trump the last four years as opposed to Hillary Clinton’ and leave it at that, there’s a little more substance to analyze. Here are 5 reasons our nation should be grateful that President Trump defeated Clinton...

While confusion has arisen in recent days in the media over "the moral permissibility" of using the COVID-19 vaccines just announced by Pfizer Inc. and Moderna, it is not "immoral to be vaccinated with them," the chairmen of the U.S. bishops' doctrine and pro-life committees said Nov. 23. Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine, and Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of Kansas City, Kansas, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, addressed the issue in a memo to their brother bishops. A copy of the memo was...

…And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me… John 11:41–42 - NOVEMBER 26 - THANKSGIVING CAN RAISE THE DEAD!

AUGUSTA, Friday, Nov. 23. A resolution was offered in the Georgia Legislature demanding the repeal, by Northern States, of laws obstructing the rendition of Fugitive Slaves; also an enactment of Congress for removing obstructions by Territories in the introduction of all property; such action being contingent on Georgia remaining in the Union. From the Albany Evening Journal. Here is something tangible. It suggests a basis on which negotiations can be inaugurated. South Carolina goes ahead without "rhyme or reason." There, it is not disunion for cause, but disunion per se. Assuming the possibility of coming together in a fraternal spirit...

As Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Al Jazeera continue to haunt his Senate campaign, a fact-checker claimed that an ad from an outside GOP group highlighting those ties is “misleading.” The ad points to Ossoff’s business ties to both PCCW, a media company partially owned by the CCP, and Al Jazeera, which has been deemed a “mouthpiece for terrorists.” Ossoff’s business dealings with Al Jazeera also caused trouble for his 2017 congressional bid. The ad also points out Ossoff’s initial failure to disclose these ties in his filings with the Federal Election Commission...

Matt Drudge Logs Off The Drudge Report has become a conformist shadow of its formerly bratty, oppositional self. Why?It was the kind of story that would once have had Matt Drudge deploying font sizes that newspapers used to reserve for declarations of war. On Oct. 14, Twitter and Facebook blocked users from spreading a New York Post article alleging that Hunter Biden had brokered meetings between his father, then the vice president of the United States, and executives at a Ukrainian energy firm where the younger Biden held an $80,000-a-month sinecure. The Post’s article included photos of what appeared to...

During the days of America's founding, colonies would declare: days of prayer when times were bad; days of fasting when times were real bad; and days of thanksgiving when things turned around. This developed into many colonies, like New Hampshire and Massachusetts, having annual days of fasting, often on Good Friday. This is evidence that colonists were not deists, who believed God set the laws of nature in place and then let the world run on its own. America's founders believed in a living relationship with God, where: if people sinned, He would call them to repent; if they did...

Almost everything we know about the first Thanksgiving in 1621 is based on a few lines from a letter. "Our harvest being gotten in, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might after a special manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labors; they four in one day killed as much fowl, as with a little help beside, served the Company almost a week, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoit, with some ninety men,...

Sanford Health Systems CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft is stepping down after sending a controversial email about his recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. Sanford Health’s Board of Trustees announced on Wednesday that the two have “mutually agreed to party ways.” Krabbenhoft had been serving as the company’s CEO since 1996. Krabbenhoft told employees in an email last Wednesday that he believes he’s immune to COVID-19 “for at least seven months and perhaps years to come” adding that he isn’t a threat to transmit the virus, according to the Associated Press. He also said that wearing a mask was merely for show. “For...

On election night in Georgia President Trump was running away with the Presidential election, then suddenly it was reported that vote counting had stopped in Fulton County due to a water main break in Atlanta.

The broken pipe allegedly did not lead to any ballots being damaged, elections officials said they performed better than the disastrous June 9 primary, which made national headlines as voters waited hours in line to...
