New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is downplaying the significance of a Supreme Court decision blocking him enforcing stringent attendance limits on religious institutions in Covid hot spots. “That Supreme Court ruling on the religious gatherings is more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else,” Cuomo said on a Thanksgiving morning briefing call. “It’s irrelevant from any practical impact.”

"By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin" (Heb. 11:24-25). The world has little to offer compared to the riches of Christ. For forty years Moses enjoyed the best of everything Egypt had to offer: formidable wealth, culture, education, and prestige (Acts 7:22). Yet he never forgot God's promises toward his own people, Israel. Then, "when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered his mind to visit his brethren, the sons...

Flynn By Almighty God’s grace and with the love and courage of my wife Lori, the strength and fortitude of our families, and the inspiration of our friends and every single patriot who circled me with their prayers, wisdom, and kindness, I say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

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...

The Defense Policy Board is an outside advisory group of former high profile national security officials who "provide the...

Alas, we have a victory for religious freedom in the COVID lockdown era. The Supreme Court recently ruled that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo illegally targeted churches in his COVID lockdown order—and Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the deciding vote.

Andrew M. Cuomo had imposed to combat the coronavirus. The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and the court’s three liberal members in...

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...

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock (D) released an apology after being caught violating his own plea of staying home for this year's Thanksgiving. Thirty minutes after his account tweeted for people to not travel due to COVID-19, he was on a plane to leave Denver. "Pass the potatoes, not COVID.

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...
