New Civil War I believe Trump will win this election battle and his next of his four years will be like the American Civil War (1860-1864). It will be four years of Trump waging Civil War II mostly against big business, Big Tech (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.), the deep state and the mainstream media. It will not be typically a battle involving geography, as North vs. South in the first Civil War (despite the idea of coastal vs. flyover territory). It will be a battle mostly fought in the courts. It will be a battle to preserve the intuitions that...

Seventy-eight years to the day since his heroic actions in World War II, Ordinary Seaman Edward 'Teddy' Sheean has become the first Navy crew member to be awarded Australia's highest military honour, the Victoria Cross. In an investiture ceremony in Canberra on Tuesday, Ordinary Seaman Sheean was being honoured for his "remarkable gallantry, sacrifice and the significance of his actions to modern Australia". In December 1942, the 18-year-old defied orders to abandon the rapidly-sinking HMAS Armidale off the coast of East Timor, which was under heavy attack by Japanese aircraft, and instead strapped himself to the ship's anti-aircraft gun and...

The United States Supreme Court rebuked Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for lockdowns imposed on houses of worship, but Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom is ignoring the high court’s lifting of restrictions in New York and is doubling down on his coronavirus lockdowns on religious gatherings. Newsom has informed the court that his actions are justified by the increase in virus cases and the “perils” of indoor gatherings where people sing or chant. “California is experiencing an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases, creating an even greater public health need for restrictions on prolonged communal gatherings in indoor places,” California...

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Breed celebrated socialite Gorretti Lo Lui's 60th birthday on November 7 at the three-star Michelin restaurant in Yountville.

President Trump has vowed to return to the White House 'in four years' if he doesn't manage to cling onto the presidency now with his claims of election fraud following Joe Biden's win. The president hosted a Christmas reception at the White House on Tuesday evening where he teased a 2024 run and once again repeated allegations that he was the true winner of the presidential race earlier this month. 'It's been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years,' Trump told the crowd, which included many Republican National Committee members.

Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to “Big Tech” (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand. Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!

The government is exceeding its authority for trying to ban illegal immigrant child abusers, drunk drivers, and a series of other violent criminals from getting asylum in the United States, according to open borders groups challenging a Trump administration rule scheduled to take effect this month. A Clinton-appointed federal judge agrees with the leftist nonprofits and has blocked implementation of the policy issued jointly by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to ban foreigners with serious criminal histories from being rewarded with asylum and all the taxpayer-funded perks that come with it. This includes disqualifying...

Beijing says China advocates for global peace and security, not intimidation or coercion.

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, included China in its list of challenges in a lengthy report on recommendations for internal reform that was due to be released later on Tuesday. Its contents were hinted...

A few days ago, I penned a piece detailing a little talked about House race in New York. NY-22 was a battle between Republican Claudia Tenney and Democrat Anthony Brindisi. (UPDATE: That piece received an amendment after this article published. Tenney’s comms director reached out. She is apparently still up 12 votes per their information and the judge has not made a final determination on the disputed ballots). Now, a batch of “found” ballots has been revealed, this time from Chenago County. You will be less than shocked to learn that these votes could break 65% or so for Brindisi...

PA: Emergency Application for Writ of Injunction Pending the Filing and Disposition of a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to SCOTUS via Alito

Video description: Jesse Morgan, a truck driver with USPS subcontractor says he was suspicious of his cargo load of 288,000 COMPLETED ballots: “I was driving completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. I didn’t know, so I decided to speak up.”

The claims were announced on the same day the Justice Department said they have found no proof of widespread voter fraud. A conservative law firm says that several whistleblowers from the United States Postal Service have come forward, alleging that thousands of ballots in some states were backdated, tampered with, or tossed out ahead of the 2020 election, to the disservice of President Trump, despite the Justice Department announcing Tuesday it has found no proof of widespread voter fraud. The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, which has forged ahead with an independent investigation of alleged voter fraud in...

Wait: Biden Won 200 Fewer Counties Than Obama … but Still Got 13 Million More Votes?

Several whistleblowers on Tuesday cast new uncertainty on the 2020 election process, claiming up to 288,000 ballots disappeared, another 100,000 were improperly backdated, and mail promoting President Trump was junked while mail for Joe Biden was delivered. In the most extraordinary report, a U.S. Postal Service contractor said his trailer full of 144,000-288,000 completed mail-in ballots, which he drove between New York and Pennsylvania, disappeared after he delivered it to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, depot. Another claimed that ballots were backdated by postal workers, and in Traverse City, Michigan, Trump campaign mail was put in bins labeled “Undeliverable Bulk Business Mail”...

Seattle – Two people arrested on the BNSF Railway tracks near Bellingham, Whatcom County, were charged with terrorist attack and other violence against a railroad carrier, and appeared in federal court today, announced U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran. Samantha Brooks, 27, and Ellen Reiche, 23, both of Bellingham, Washington, were arrested Saturday night in Bellingham as they allegedly placed a ‘shunt’ on the tracks. A shunt disrupts the low level electrical current on the tracks and can disable various safety features. “Since January there have been 41 incidents of shunts placed on the BNSF tracks in Whatcom and Skagit counties—causing...

My latest in PJ Media: https://pjmedia.com/culture/robert-spencer/2020/11/28/california-isis-jihadi-stabs-four-in-university-classroom-university-blames-toxic-masculinity-n1179840 The FBI last Wednesday released new details about the case of Faisal Mohammad, who in November 2015, while he was a freshman at the University of California, Merced, entered a classroom and stabbed four people. It was already known back at the time of the attack that young Mohammad was a jihadi: The College Fix reported that he “was found to have an image of the ISIS flag, a handwritten manifesto with instructions on how to behead someone, and reminders to pray to Allah.” The new information that has just been released about the...

On Wednesday evening, a 31-year-old Palestinian “refugee” decapitated and cut off the hands of a historical Virgin Mary statue in Marghera, a suburb of Venice, Italy. The police discovered that the Palestinian accused of the attack was issued a travel document for refugees in Belgium and does not have a residence permit. Police have launched a terrorism investigation and procedures for expelling him from Italy. The Catholic News Agency reports that the local parish “is organizing a community rosary to be prayed at the statue on Dec. 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.” According to a local Italian news...

MERCED, Calif. - A troubled California university freshman who burst into a classroom in 2015, stabbing four people before police shot him dead, planned to praise Allah while slitting the throats of classmates and use a gun taken from an ambushed officer to kill more, according to records released by the FBI. Authorities determined that Faisal Mohammad, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of California, Merced had no connections to organized hate or terror groups and no past behavior to suggest violence. Still, records released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to the Daily Beast publication include a chilling, handwritten...

CAIRO, Egypt (Morning Star News) – A young Christian teacher in northeastern Egypt is facing charges of insulting Islam after he posted comments on Facebook, according to local reports. Youssef Hany of Ismailia, a city on the Suez Canal 78 miles northeast of Cairo, posted the comments earlier this month in reply to a Muslim who had expressed her opposition to criticisms of Islam by the president of France and other French citizens.
