I was eleven years old in November 1960 when my father and I watched Richard Nixon concede the presidential election to John F. Kennedy. My father, a former FBI agent, shook his head. “Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said. “What does that mean?” I asked. “It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered. “Then why doesn’t Nixon do something about it?” I asked indignantly. “Because it would tear the country apart, and no one wants that.” “Why not?” “It doesn’t work that way,” he replied. “Nixon is being a gentleman.” Of course, it wasn’t just my...

Lawyer Sidney Powell filed two substantive lawsuits on Thursday in Georgia and Michigan. Both lawsuits allege constitutional violations, statistical anomalies and impossibilities, and fraudulent behavior on the part of election officials. The allegations are backed by expert testimonies and signed affidavits from citizen witnesses. (Stay tuned for a closer look at Michigan.) In the Georgia civil lawsuit, C.J. Pearson v. Kemp, Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State and Chair of the Georgia State Election Board Brad Raffensberger are named in addition to others. The lawsuit claims to “bring to light a massive election fraud, multiple violations of Georgia...

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has rejected a request from a Louisiana pastor who’d sought emergency relief from criminal charges he faces for the apparent crime of holding large church services in contravention of the state’s coronavirus rules. ... As the months passed, Spell wound up accruing three additional charges, making for a total of nine. Now fast-forward to last week, when he filed a motion with Justice Alito requesting an injunction against the charges he faces. ... For reasons that remain unclear, Alito outright rejected the request — meaning it won’t receive a full hearing in the Supreme Court...

"It was pretty grim. There was a lot of sadness in people's eyes. A lot of fear of the unknown." Matt Lanigan is describing life on Melbourne's Chapel St during the city's recent four-month lockdown. "The streets were completely deserted. It was like something out of [post-apocalyptic film] Mad Max," says Mr Lanigan, who owns cafe Lucky Penny on the iconic shopping strip. Melbourne first went into lockdown in March, but its second, which began in July after a fresh Covid outbreak, was a bigger blow. That lockdown went on to become one of the longest and strictest in the...

The Marine Corps is looking for industry sources to produce a man-portable system capable of launching swarms of kamikaze drones over contested battlefields, according to a new notice. In a request for information published earlier this month, Marine Corps System Command detailed a fresh need for an "individually operated, man-portable, anti-materiel, anti-personnel ground-launched loitering munition system" for fielding to grunts in the coming years. The so-called Organic Precision Fire-Infantry (OPF-I) capability will consist of a fresh infantry-operated system capable of launching drones that can conduct explosive strikes and are "capable of swarming" over a 20-kilometer range for up to an...

Sidney Powell's Michigan lawsuit is shorter than the Georgia lawsuit she filed (although I suspect that has do to, in part, with a smaller font and different formatting choices). Nevertheless, it's every bit as complex, because while Michigan had the same overarching forms of fraud (fraud revolving around paper ballots and their counting and voting machine fraud), the supporting facts are different. Enter Doug Ross, who has a real knack for creating uncomplicated infographics that clearly explain complicated materials. If you haven't already seen it, I reproduced here Doug's infographic about the complaint Sidney Powell filed in Georgia. It's a...

Ferris State University professor Thomas Brennan has been placed on leave from his school after writing a letter about the COVID-19 scamdemic while exposing the “satanic, globalist elite.” “I believe the COVID-19 pandemic is a stunt designed to enslave humanity and strip us of all our rights and our freedoms,” Brennan wrote in his letter. This was a sentiment that he expressed publicly that got him into hot water. Brennan issued the letter to clear the air and double down on his assertions. “The end result of this hysteria, if unchecked, will be a mandatory vaccine,” he explained. “No one...

Watch Joe DiGenova’s analysis. This is going to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Many people today don’t really know who the real Che Guevara was. They think of him as some sort of communist Robin Hood, whereas in reality, he was a monstrous murderer and fanatical communist ideologue. Perhaps that misconception is one of the reasons why Ayn Rand lashes out against the Robin Hood tale in Atlas Shrugged; it is used to justify the actions of all sorts of evil men and what they did to further the cause of forced wealth redistribution.

A video that was released recently alleges a phone call between a certain person and a Chinese manufacturer. The manufacturer is allegedly in Kwangtung, China. You can views the video with a translation in English below: LinkEverything we say about this video is “alleged” because we still can’t confirm it’s validity, but if proven to be real, this could cause an international incident. Video evidence is easily proven or disproven. US mail coming from other countries is easily verified. This will be easy to verify. Two years ago President Trump accused China of attempting to meddle in the November midterm...

SOARING tensions between China and the US in the South China Sea could easily spill over into armed conflict, according to the Philippines' defense secretary. Delfin Lorenzana said the intense rivalry between Beijing and Washington was the major security concern in the volatile region warned his country would bear the brunt of any escalation in hostilities. Mr Lorenzana told a Manilla defence forum: "If ever a shooting war happens, the Philippines — which is right smack in the middle of the conflict — will be involved whether she likes it or not. "This is the crux of the security challenge...

A rare event in the heavens just ahead of Christmas will feature an alignment of planets that a famous astronomer believed was the phenomenon that is mentioned in the Bible when Jesus Christ was born. The alignment of Jupiter and Saturn will appear in the skies on December 21, the winter solstice. The last time the rare alignment of the planets was this close was in 1623, nearly 400 years ago. That was only 14 years after Galileo discovered the moons of Jupiter with the invention of the telescope. Another famous astronomer, Johannes Kepler, posited in 1614 that the alignment...

Sense of an impending something-or-the-other is palpable. That is, something big is up, and is building toward something else that’s monumental. Never, as I’ve said before, have we experienced what we’re experiencing now in this nation–and in this world. There is a great dividing of people on one side or the other, politically and in many other ways. Things, some say, have changed forever with the COVID-19 imposition upon this generation. And, it is indeed an “imposition” in my view, and, I believe, in the view of the Sovereign God of Heaven. The pandemic came from out of nowhere to...

(CNN) -- When a New York couple was told their over 100-year-old home was built by a notorious bootlegger, they passed it off as small town legend. But during a recent home renovation, the couple discovered something that revealed the legend could be true. In early October, Nick Drummond and Patrick Bakker said they found more than 66 bottles of whiskey from the Prohibition-era hidden within the walls and floorboards of their home, which was built in 1915. "Our walls are filled with bundles of booze!" Drummond, who documented the unexpected find in a series of posts on social media,...

A video was released on Friday in Mandarin Chinese of a phone call request for fake ballots customized by Chinese factory. The manufacturer is reportedly in Kwangtung, China.

According to the legacy media, there have been more than 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 since the so-called pandemic began. That means to the average American that there are 250,000 plus Americans who are dead today who would otherwise still be with us. Those people were killed by the virus. That seems a matter of common sense. Is it true? Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Johns Hopkins University, recently 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...

(h/t foldspace)Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.Q describes this awakening as follows: "The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’),...
