Dedicated coronavirus police patrols are being put on across Devon and Cornwall to stop people breaching the new tier system from Wednesday. Devon and Cornwall Police have confirmed "up to 10 additional dedicated double-crewed units" will be made available across both counties whose "sole purpose will be to respond to COVID-related matters". A force spokesman told Sky News the extra patrol cars are for "public engagement and reassurance". Cornwall is the only area of mainland England going into Tier 1 on 2 December, which means residents can mix with other households indoors and drink in pubs without ordering a "substantial...

It's not exactly clear how it happened. No one expected it, least of all the media and pollsters. But that promised big blue wave of Democratic victories across the country turned instead into a red tidal wave from coast to coast. Most progressive ballot issues in the states -- from tax increases to racial preferences -- also came crashing down. A big reason for this turnaround in the election was the massive turnout for President Donald Trump on Election Day. The irony is that Trump's coattails pulled hundreds of Republicans over the goal line -- but as things currently stand,...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Psalm 23 A psalm of David. 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;...

CHICAGO - President-elect Joe Biden is considering former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a substantial and somewhat divisive figure in Democratic Party politics, to serve as his transportation secretary. Biden’s selection of his nominee to lead the Transportation Department is not believed to be imminent, and Emanuel is among multiple candidates in the running for the Cabinet position, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations. But his candidacy threatens to pull at the divisions among Democrats that Biden has largely managed to avoid as he begins to fill out...

The entire existence of a media fact-checker is a reality of redundancy. If the press was in fact doing its job there would be no need for this subculture, as they would be expected to have already laid out the facts in the standard reporting. But years ago a number of news outlets developed their own fact-checking divisions as a means of beating back conservative media voices, becoming only more entrenched in the Donald Trump era. As the press pounced on the numerous claims of presidential prevarications they became seen as a needed service. What has evolved however is these...

We need to see indictments for election fraud. Back in 1959, Elvis was doing his military service, so RCA released an L.P. entitled 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong: Elvis' Gold Records, Volume 2. It was a collection of his hit singles like "I Got Stung." Well, don't blame President Trump and 75 millions of us if we feel as though we got stung on Election Day. How did Biden get 80 million votes and the Democrats otherwise do so poorly? It's a tough question for them to answer, as David Catron just wrote: During the weeks following November 3rd,...

WASHINGTON - President-elect Joe Biden is vetting three environmental justice leaders to head up the White House agency that will take the lead in coordinating efforts to safeguard communities disproportionately affected by pollution, according to sources familiar with the process. The shortlist for head of the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) signals a focus by the incoming Biden administration on environmental policies that aim to ensure improved clean air and water for poor and minority communities that have historically taken the brunt of industrial pollution. The Biden transition team is considering Mustafa Santiago Ali, Cecilia Martinez and Brenda...

Matt Duss / YouTube screenshot 6:00 PM A top aide to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) accused Israel of terrorism following the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist and military official believed to be instrumental in Tehran's nuclear weapons program. Matt Duss, a Sanders foreign policy adviser and frequent critic of Israel and Jews, wrote on Twitter that incoming president Joe Biden should reenter the landmark nuclear deal with Iran and offer it billions of dollars in sanctions relief to send a message to Israel that "terrorism doesn't work." Duss's Monday morning tweet came shortly after the assassination of Mohsen...

The Arecibo Observatory's platform collapsed this morning due to structural failure. In mid-November, the National Science Foundation had announced that the Observatory would be dismantled because of the danger it posed.

ELK CITY, Okla. - The Elk City Police Department is investigating a deadly home invasion. Police said the victim told investigators two men broke into his bedroom. That's when investigators said the homeowner then opened fire on both, killing one of the would-be thieves. “I saw five or six police cars, they had all alleys blocked off,” said Tristian Wooten, Elk City resident. “Cones had the area shut off.” People living nearby said they woke up and noticed police all over their neighborhood Saturday morning. “They blocked off all in front of the tennis courts there to the south and...

'We need to radically reimagine our concept of justice and safety' A group of far-left activists working to end federal funding for police and "close all federal prisons" is pledging to spend big in Georgia in an effort to "secure the Senate." Black Lives Matter cofounder Patrisse Cullors launched BLM PAC in October in order to "ensure there are candidates in office that manifest the demands from the streets for the liberation of Black and brown communities." Cullors requested financial support for the super PAC in a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, promising to invest in a "strong digital...

I always thought no one -- including Israel -- could pull off something as incredible as the July 4, 1976, raid on Entebbe, Uganda. To remind readers what happened that day: A week earlier, on June 27, two Palestinian and two German terrorists hijacked an Air France Tel Aviv to Paris flight with 248 passengers on board, which they diverted to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. At the airport, the hijackers and four additional terrorists, aided by Uganda's Idi Amin regime, held the Israeli and other Jews, and allowed the 148 non-Jewish passengers to fly on to Paris. The terrorists announced...

Democrats and NeverTrumpers are working hard to demoralize Trump voters so that they willingly embrace defeat. Resist this pressure. Trump-supporters can't miss the message: you guys are stupid idiots who fell in love with a con artist and can't accept the truth. There was no fraud. There were no impossible numbers and no vote dumps. Instead, the mentally sharp, erudite, and honest Joe Biden, with the charming, quick-witted Kamala Harris at his side, swept into the White House with 80 million votes. Ignore his missing coattails and his receiving more black votes than Obama in 2008, even though Trump increased...

Typical. Ignoring evidence of irregularities and pretending Biden is legit, I just heard a local Miami media tv report say later today the two Demon Rats will name THEIR nominees...

President Trump’s supporters gathered outside of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix on Monday for a “Stop the Steal” rally, which coincides with the election integrity hearing between members of the Arizona State Legislature and the Trump campaign. State lawmakers hope “to hear testimony and view evidence related to allegations of electoral compromise related to the 2020 election,” according to Republican State Rep. Mark Finchem (R). Trump campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis are also participating in the hearing on Monday. Meanwhile, Trump supporters have gathered outside the hotel as a show of support for the president. Arizona Rep....

TThe Democrats have been practicing for this election for a long time but, until this year, they had to keep relatively secret the fact that they had the code to make elections break in their direction. This year, they abandoned secrecy. Their conduct and the possible outcome are reminders of both the British “Enigma” dilemma and of Elgar’s Enigma funeral march. In World War II, the British achieved an incredible strategic and technological triumph over Germany when, in 1940, they cracked the Germans’ secret communications code, known as Enigma. Having advanced knowledge of German war plans, the British were able...

On Thanksgiving day, President Donald Trump held a press conference, and the media relentlessly pressured him with questions about whether he would leave the White House, in effect repeatedly calling on him to concede. The scene reminded me of the Cultural Revolution in China and how the media attacked Liu Shaoqi. Li Shaoqi, the president of China between 1959–1968, was attacked by the media day and night after the communist leader decided to get rid of him. Within a few days, he was removed. Abused, he died alone, without even his family being informed. At the crematorium, he was an...

Yes, COVID-19 is real, and it’s dangerous. The virus can be deadly, very deadly, to the elderly, people with co-morbidities, and seemingly random people since it, unlike most viruses we know of, appears to manifest itself wildly differently in people with no, at least as of yet, discernible pattern. That being said, there are some aspects of the pandemic that deserve, really require, serious conversations and examination by both the medical profession and the public. But that’s not being allowed to happen by the media and the medical profession. That should concern everyone. A recent newsletter from Johns Hopkins raised...

Jen Psaki, who was named to serve as President-elect Biden's White House press secretary, is facing fresh scrutiny over a photo that shows her wearing a Russian hat that bears the communist hammer-and-sickle logo.

Know your personal limitations - if you are a lurking fearbro then you need to avoid the temptation to give in to the porn. - I have been reading more and more about the importance of vitamin D and it’s relationship to having a healthy immune system.

I am 100% convinced that rules limiting outdoor activities in any way wind...
