WASHINGTON, Friday, Nov. 30. Mr. COBB will not resign until after the assembling of Congress and the delivery of the President's Message. Messrs. COBB, FLOYD and THOMPSON will issue a disclaimer, to be published in some Washington paper, repudiating the position, taken by the President and the remainder of the Cabinet, which will, it is believed, lead directly to breaking up the Cabinet. It is generally understood that Mr. COBB acts not so much upon his own judgment as upon the advice of PHILIP R. CLAYTON, Assistant-Secretary of the Treasury, who favors secession, and is reported to be the author...

When the Covid-19 pandemic forced the closure of most U.S. schools last spring, students were thrown into new and unfamiliar ways of learning. Special education students and children learning English lost support that their schools struggled to provide online. Many students had no access to computers or internet and were completely cut off from their teachers. The true toll these disruptions have taken on student learning won’t be known for months or years, but new reports from national education-testing organizations have begun to offer an early look at that impact. The latest is a report from NWEA, formerly the Northwest...

Why is the 2nd Amendment important? Because the 2nd Amendment is the one that guarantees all of the others. Sure, we need to defend free speech because without it we can’t express ideas (good or bad) openly or criticize the government. But can it back itself up on its own? No, if we had only the 1st Amendment but not the 2nd, we could lose our right to free speech at any moment. The government could simply take it away. Just look at what is happening in Hong Kong; when its citizens tried to exercise their human right to free...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] I have warned you all along that the courts are literally the President’s only chance at reversing these election results, and his court cases are long shots as well. That is not because his cause isn’t just – it clearly is – but because getting any legislature or court to act to do the right thing here requires an extraordinary act of political or judicial courage on their part. The vast majority of GOP politicians and judges are cowards at heart. They talk a good game but seldom possess the courage to follow...

If Israel, as is universally believed and has not been denied, was behind the assassination of Iran's leading nuclear scientist, questions arise:Why would the Israelis kill him? And why would they do it now?The scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, it is conceded, was a leader in Iran's nuclear bomb program, but that program was disbanded in 2003.Under George W. Bush, in 2007, all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies declared with "high confidence" that Iran no longer had a bomb program.Four years later, the same intel agencies affirmed that finding.Since 2015, Iran's nuclear facilities, under the Iran nuclear deal, have been subject to U.N....

The outbreak, which occurred in the town of Girin-ri, killed 19,000 ducks, the OIE said in a website alert, quoting the South Korean agriculture ministry. Some 392,000 chickens and ducks at a total of six farms were killed preventively, the ministry also said.

A Los Angeles County supervisor dined outdoors last Tuesday just hours after voting to ban the practice over COVID-19 concerns, a new report said. Sheila Kuehl, one of five elected supervisors that govern the county, was seen eating outside Il Forno Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, Fox 11 reported. Earlier that day at a board of supervisors meeting, Kuehl called the outdoor dining “a most dangerous situation” with regard to the possible spread of COVID-19. Kuehl and two other members of the Board of Supervisors voted to ban outdoor dining at Los Angeles County’s 31,000 restaurants, which began...

Attorney Sidney Powell said on the Sean Hannity show on Fox News Monday night that a witness to election irregularities was beaten up and is in the hospital. Powell spoke about the attack while speaking about witnesses needing protection as a reason some are not going public and signing affidavits. Powell said some are in the government, others are in roles that require confidentiality, and that they need protection by the government. Powell: “They’re gonna lose their job. Their lives have been threatened. Uh, one witness we know of got beaten up and is in the hospital. There have been...

“The point of tyranny is not to genuinely convince you it’s true, it’s to ram the lie down your throat and make you live with it.” - Mark Steyn, in for Rush yesterday How many times over the past week, month…decade have you asked yourself “how on earth did we get here?” Perhaps this little story from 2018 will help explain: A new poll shows that only a little over a third of Americans would pass a basic multiple choice [ed. they can’t even guess at the right answer] U.S. citizenship test, modeled after the one taken by immigrants in...

Following the assassination of Iran’s top nuclear scientist, Barack Obama's former China ambassador Max Baucus on Monday accused Israel of having "nefarious" motives in the Middle East. Baucus said Israel likely assassinated Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in order to sabotage President-elect Joe Biden's ability to reenter the Iran Nuclear Deal, which President Donald Trump pulled out of in 2018. "[Israel's] nefarious ulterior motive is to complicate matters in the Mideast and make things difficult for Biden to try to reenter the Iran nuclear accord," Baucus said. Baucus, a former Montana senator who endorsed Biden for president, served as ambassador...

Majority Forward sent the cash to groups active in the Georgia runoffs A dark money organization aligned with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) funneled a record $40 million to liberal advocacy groups for voter engagement efforts, new filings show. Majority Forward, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit that is affiliated with Schumer's Senate Majority PAC, sent the grants to more than a dozen left-wing groups, several of which are active in Georgia's pivotal runoff elections. The new tax forms show that Majority Forward experienced a financial windfall heading into the 2020 elections. The group raised $76 million from anonymous donors between June 1,...

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...
