Emerald Robinson Latin cross @EmeraldRobinson Just remember that @RichLowry & @guypbenson and plenty of other unpopular NeverTrumpers targeting Lin Wood this week were targeting Jenna Ellis & others on Trump's legal team for their "wild allegations" of election fraud last week. That's why @politico & @foxnews pays them. 4:26 PM · Dec 3, 2020·Twitter Web App

President Donald Trump on Wednesday gained unexpected support from a former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate after he criticized Section 230’s protections for Big Tech companies. Trump on Tuesday threatened to veto the National Defense Authorization Act, a bill to authorize defense spending, demanding that Congress first reform Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The law protects web publishers from being sued for content posted on their platforms by third parties. “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...

@RepThomasMassie In Oversight & Reform Committee, I questioned LA's Attorney General Landry about the "perverse incentive" created for states when the census counts illegal aliens. As he explains, the current system creates "a competition between states to try to attract illegal immigrants." Video...

I do not want Democrats to have control of the Senate. It would be an existential threat to the United States if they had 50 Senate seats and, God forbid, Kamala Harris was the Vice President and deciding vote.With that said, there’s a horrendous misunderstanding happening right now over attorney Lin Wood’s comments yesterday. He called for Republicans to withhold their votes in Georgia’s runoff election if Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue do not get on board with fighting against the massive voter fraud that has encompassed their state. And as much as I don’t want to see Chuck...

Cris Collinsworth is facing backlash for saying he was “blown away” by some women’s knowledge of football during Wednesday afternoon’s broadcast of the Steelers-Ravens game, which aired on NBC. “Everybody’s a fan, in particular the ladies that I met,” he said during the second quarter. “They had really specific questions about the game and I’m like, ‘Wow.’

Many conservatives, even, are conceding the election to Joe Biden in their own minds because only days remain before the Electoral College meets on Dec. 14 to vote for the perceived “winner.” But this alleged “deadline” is not what it seems, especially when the fate of our country is on the line. According to Gen. Thomas McInerney, there is no requirement that President Donald Trump vacate the White House in accordance with any prescribed timeline until every last fact surrounding election fraud is analyzed and addressed, which has not yet occurred. Speaking to Brannon Howse of Worldview Weekend during a...

A Cleveland-based technology company partnered with Purdue University to develop a rapid diagnostic test to detect numerous pathogens, including the molecule that causes COVID-19. The technology from the Purdue and IdentifySensors Biologics collaboration can also be modified to detect influenza, Zika, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, chickenpox, and more. “This test can be done fast, it’s accurate and can be done at home,” IdentifySensors CEO Gregory Hummer, MD, said. According to Purdue University, the real-time technology identified pathogens “by their induced distinctive resistance chance to electronic materials” and automatically transmits results to the individual’s cellphone and appropriate health departments. “We intend to...

Gloria Estefan followed the pandemic rules. She claims she “rigorously” complied with health and safety measures, limiting her exposure to others. But the 63-year-old singer admitted during an Instagram video chat that she was “one of the victims of Covid.” Despite her adherence to protocols, Estefan said she dined outdoors at a restaurant in Miami with three family members. She tested negative days later, but soon started feeling ill and got the classic coronavirus symptoms of losing taste and smell, along with a cough and dehydration. “The only thing that I can imagine happened is that someone came up to...

The final version of the National Defense Authorization Act has a provision that would effectively block President Donald Trump's attempt to significantly reduce US troops in Germany, a move the President said was because of Berlin's failure to spend adequate amounts on defense.... ...The legislation also has a similar provision regarding the approximately 28,500 US troops stationed in South Korea, prohibiting any reductions in US personnel until 90 days after the defense secretary certifies that certain conditions have been met. The bill also could affect Trump's efforts to reduce US troop levels in Afghanistan, requiring "the Administration to submit a...

A work of art constructed with plants, recycled material and musical harmony aims to reforest the planet, beginning in the heart of Rome, in support of the UN’s Trillion Tree Campaign. It is the Living Chapel in the Botanical Garden, a concrete fruit of the commitment to creation proposed by Pope Francis in “Laudato si’”. With us are Consuelo Fabriani and Father Joshtrom Isaac Kureethadam.Australian-Canadian composer Julian Darius Revie was deeply impressed upon reading Pope Francis’s Encyclical Laudato si’. Already in 2015 he took to heart the exhortation to rediscover “harmony between humankind and nature” and reflected on how that...

On Dec. 21, humans can witness something not seen in nearly 800 years. That’s right, during the upcoming winter solstice, Jupiter and Saturn will line up to create what is known as the “Christmas Star” or “Star of Bethlehem “Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to be to one another,” Patrick Hartigan, astronomer at Rice University, told Forbes. “You’d have to go all the way back to just before dawn on March 4, 1226, to see a...

Lance Gooden @Lancegooden We need a decisive resolution to the lingering questions of our election integrity. I sent a letter to @realDonaldTrump asking him to instruct AG Barr to immediately appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the irregularities in the #2020election.

Now we’re learning that the Internal Revenue Service also sent checks to an untold number of random European citizens, not Americans, who aren’t even US residents. “The IRS now acknowledges that its own error caused some citizens of other countries to mistakenly receive $1,200 coronavirus relief payments — and that the mistake is likely to happen again if more stimulus money goes out,” NPR reports. For example, Stockholm resident and Swedish citizen Susanne Wigforss received a check from the IRS. "This is so wrong," Wigforss told NPR, "because I saw that a number of people were being evicted every month...

BOSTON — Gov. Charlie Baker is urging those attending services at houses of worship in Massachusetts to adhere to COVID-19 precautions, like wearing masks and practicing social distancing particularly for indoor services. The state is still seeing too many COVID-19 clusters that can be traced back to houses of worship, the Republican said at a Tuesday press conference. Since the start of the pandemic, houses of workshop have experienced a total of 36 clusters, Baker said. “We know that houses of worship have always served as a place of refuge especially in difficult times like this,” Baker said at a...

Elites won’t allow any sympathy for poor whites Netflix’s new adaptation of JD Vance’s “Hillbilly Elegy” is devastating for the left’s political narrative. How do I know that? Because so many leftists are trying to keep people from watching it. Critics complain that the movie has too many noble country folk — though neither Vance’s 2016 memoir nor the film version is exactly focused on nobility as such. They even gripe that the autobiography of a white guy from the hill country doesn’t have any major black characters. Well, yes. For a film made out of a bestselling book by...

In Waldrop v. City of Johnson City,Tennessee, (ED TN, Nov. 30, 2020), a Tennessee federal district court dismissed a suit by several individuals who were distributing religious literature at a gay pride event. Plaintiffs claimed that their free speech and free exercise rights were infringed when they were required by police to move from the entrance to the park where the event was being held to a nearby sidewalk. The court said in part: The evidence supports only the conclusion that the officers escorted Plaintiffs from Founders Park, and voiced any attendant warnings to them about their return there, in...

Does anyone have relief from sinus headaches and colds with colloidal silver? If so how do you use it?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Governor @dougducey of Arizona hired a lawyer today. Wouldn’t allowing a strong check of ballots, which would be easier and so much better for our Country, be easier on him and the great State of Arizona?

President Trump gave a glimpse of his plans moving forward, suggesting at a White House Christmas party that he would be back again in 2024. At the event, Trump looked back fondly at his first term, noted how he is currently battling the 2020 election results, and suggested if things don’t work out he’ll be back again in four years. “It’s been an amazing four years,” Trump is heard saying in a live stream of the party by former Oklahoma Republican Party Chair Pam Pollard. “We’re trying to get another four years,” the President continued, “but otherwise I’ll see you...

The Trump campaign will file a lawsuit in Georgia Thursday night contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election in the state, Jordan Sekulow, a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team, said during an appearance on Newsmax TV. ''Might be this evening on the video that we’re seeing just now that will contest the entire election,'' Sekulow told Chris Salcedo in reference to a video out of Fulton County allegedly showing workers counting votes without Republicans or Democrats watching. ''The security camera shows that. That’s a huge election law violation,'' he said. ''That’s illegal. You can’t count votes without...
