Governors across the country have placed restrictions on residents ahead of Thanksgiving in a purported effort to curb the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. In Colorado, there’s a 10-person limit on gatherings, but GOP Rep.-elect Lauren Boebert has found a workaround. Rather than hosting a dinner, she’s having a “funeral” for the dead turkey. “In Colorado, Thanksgiving is limited to 10 people, but funerals are limited to 30,” she told Fox News. “So I’m going to have a peaceful funeral for a turkey and have about 30 people at my house.” Garfield County, Colorado, where Boebert resides, is under a...

Late Show host Stephen Colbert practically bowed down before Barack Obama during a sit-down interview with the former President on his Tuesday night CBS show. After starting off the show gushing over how much they both enjoyed each other, a star-struck Colbert confessed he needed to “drink in” Obama's presence: "Can we just take moment -- I can just -- and I want to talk. I just want to take a moment to drink you in for just a moment. Because I'm having to get used to looking at a President. [LAUGHTER] Again. You know, I've gotten out of --...

Democratic leaders lambasted President Trump for pardoning his former national security adviser Michael Flynn on Wednesday, condemning the move as a "brazen" abuse of power. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that Trump's act was one of "grave corruption" and said that Flynn "must be held accountable" for a "serious and dangerous breach of our national security." “President Trump’s pardoning of Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his dealings with a foreign adversary, is an act of grave corruption and a brazen abuse of power," Pelosi said in a statement. "Trump is again using...

According to new data, the U.S. currently ranks first in total COVID-19 cases, new cases per day and deaths. Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Hopkins, critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.” From mid-March to mid-September, U.S. total deaths have reached 1.7 million, of which 200,000, or 12% of total deaths, are COVID-19-related. Instead of looking directly at COVID-19 deaths, Briand focused on total deaths per age group...

An expert in Bible codes found a shocking clue that the prophecy of Zechariah that most of the people alive today will perish is due to come about this year. Actually, according to one interpretation of the prophecy, this has already happened. BIBLE CODES: “IN 5781 MOST LIVING THINGS EXTERMINATED” Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an expert in Bible codes, prepared a video using special software to find hidden clues in equidistant letters in the Torah referring to a verse in Zechariah describing the end-of days. Throughout the land —declares Hashem— Two-thirds shall perish, shall die, And one-third of it shall survive....

Kyle Rittenhouse faces two charges of first-degree intentional homicide and a count of attempted homicide. Now the judicial process can begin here. But there are questions that go beyond whether Rittenhouse is guilty of killing two people on Aug. 26, a night of unrest in Downtown Kenosha following the shooting of a black man by a Kenosha police officer. Those questions pertain to the actions, or inaction, by law enforcement officers that night.

The Trump administration is rushing to make a number of federal regulatory changes before President-elect Joe Biden takes office on January 20, ProPublica reported on Wednesday. One of those changes, proposed by the Department of Justice, would allow some federal death-row inmates to be executed by means other than lethal injection. Many states allow for electrocution or a firing squad if lethal injection is not available or if another method is preferred by the prisoner.

Summary below of the main takeaways, VOTE TOTALS, and suggested remedy from the MI lawsuit filed by Sidney Powell yesterday. This suit is MUCH more coherent than the rambling GA suit, thank goodness. Lots of overlap between the two as it relates to Dominion and the alleged Constitutional violations. As with the GA suit, converting the document to searchable PDF screwed up a bunch of formatting, particularly creating tonsofsentenceswithnospacesbetweenwords. Also worth reviewing with respect to MI election fraud is the Great Lakes Justice Center complaint against Wayne County filed 11/8/20: https://www.greatlakesjc.org/cases/costantino_v_detroit/ Against MI election code, election challengers were deprived of...

Freedom is still the reason to come to America and the reason to stay. It’s still something to be thankful for and something to fight for.Four centuries ago, the Pilgrims of the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. They were fleeing religious persecution in the Old World. This is to say they were seeking freedom in the New World. All these years after the Mayflower’s voyage, the world has changed, but the reason to come to America remains the same: freedom. That’s it. That’s the whole deal. Freedom, and the opportunities that come with it. Think about it. Why else would...

Alex Trebek left a Thanksgiving message behind ... a message of faith and hope as he valiantly fought his battle with cancer.

Alex, whose voice...

For years I was the lone pro-Trump mom in my local Catholic community—MAGA in the tweets, trad in the sheets. In 2016, my friends mostly pined for Marco or Ted and scowled at the prospect of four years with the Big Orange Adulterer. Trad Catholic women are by nature not going to instantly embrace a playboy from the 1980s with a long, sexy history that may or may not include a few wives and some low-budge mistresses.
