President-elect Joe Biden says he will ask Americans to wear their face masks for 100 days after he takes office in January. Biden told CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday that he hopes the mandate would help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. “On the first day I’m inaugurated, I’m going to ask the public for 100 days to mask. Just 100 days to mask, not forever, just 100 days,” Biden said. “I think we’ll see a significant reduction.” Biden previously said wearing a mask is a “patriotic duty” and that it shouldn’t be politicized. Biden has acknowledged he...

We have to do something!

I'm looking for books on American history that I can give to my ten year son. He's interested in the American Revolutionary War but he's interested in other topics as well. I'm concerned about ordering something from Amazon or elsewhere that might contain nonsense about transgender Founding Fathers or Muslim pioneers who took part in the Constitutional Convention. Any suggestions?

A group of Trump supporters filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging widespread voter fraud and challenging the Arizona election results. The plaintiffs claim that due to rampant fraud largely connected with the state’s electronic voting system, the Court should order the Arizona election results to be de-certified and stop Gov. Doug Ducey and the secretary of state from transmitting those results to the Electoral College. “The scheme and artifice to defraud was for the purpose of illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to manufacture an election of Joe Biden as President of the United States, and also of...

Ok. I actually am old enough to remember the greatest crime in the last 100 years or so, I'm talking about the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I remember being at school and the teacher coming back in and telling us that our parents were coming to pick us up, then riding in the car on the way home and my mom crying in the front seat. I remember Oswald getting shot and the funeral, it's a very fuzzy memory but sadly, I did live it. It would be a few years before I saw the Zapruder film and witnessed...

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- After all 100 North Carolina counties completed a statewide recount, Republican Paul Newby led Democrat incumbent Cheri Beasley by 401 votes out of nearly 5.4 million ballots cast in the Supreme Court Justice race, the State Board of Elections announced Wednesday night.

The forum was sponsored by the National AIDS Memorial and included New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Robert Garcia, their counterpart in Long Beach, Ca. Chicago’s first openly-gay mayor recalled having traveled to New York City for a Pride Parade shortly...

The NRA endorsed Perdue, seeing him as...

Does security camera video show a Fulton County, Georgia, election supervisor suspiciously pulling suitcases filled with ballots from under a table after telling poll workers to leave the room? And did that election official continue to illegally count ballots without required monitors in a manner that calls into question Joe Biden's narrow win over Donald Trump in Georgia? No, those claim are not true: Two high-level officials with the Georgia secretary of state's office and a state elections board monitor each told Lead Stories that their investigations revealed nothing suspicious in the video. The officials said the ballots seen in...

Posting as a vanity but based on the linked article: As January 6, 2021 approaches, the two parties take to cable news and social media to test various arguments as to why their candidate is the winner entitled to be inaugurated as president on January 20. Some Republicans take the especially aggressive position that Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, has the unilateral authority under the Twelfth Amendment to decide which certificate of electoral votes from Pennsylvania is the authoritative one entitled to be counted in Congress and that he, accordingly, will count the certificate from the electors appointed...
