The controlling shareholders of Fox News, the Murdoch family and its 89-year-old patriarch Rupert Murdoch, have a long history of backing Democrats like Hillary Clinton and their liberal causes. After four years of fairly critical coverage of President Trump (Fox “confirmed”, for example, a skepticism-inducing report that Trump called fallen soldiers “suckers and losers,” a claim that even Trump foe John Bolton denied,) many conservatives are re-evaluating Fox News’ true commitment to “fair and balanced” media. Federal election records show that Murdoch has donated to far-left Democratic politicians including John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, Anthony Weiner and even Hillary...

A polling manager in Fulton County, Georgia, told state lawmakers on Thursday that she opened up a box of ballots to find a batch of 110 that were “pristine” and not folded. “Most of them were pretty worn, until we came up to a batch that is, it was, my words were ‘pristine.’ It was white, it was so white,” Susan Voyles told a state Senate committee in Atlanta. Most absentee ballots are folded because they were sent through and received back through the mail, she added. “But the thing that really jumped out at us besides the feel of...

Trying to preserve the integrity of American elections by insisting that Americans not speak about their real concerns only makes the 2020 election outcome more suspect. “Why are you forcing me to wear a mask but not forcing me to wear disposable gloves?” “Because I said so.” “Why are Fortune 500 stores allowed to stay open while local businesses must go bankrupt?” “Because I said so.” “Why must I believe the 2020 election was untainted by fraud when nothing about it smells right?” “Because I said so.”If any lesson has been driven home during the last year, it is that...

A witness brought forward by the Trump campaign in its election contest in Nevada alleged that the memory disks used to store vote totals from election machines during the early vote period had the vote tallies unexplainably changed overnight, according to a presentation at an evidentiary hearing in Carson City on Dec. 3. According to Jesse Binnall, who presented the evidence on behalf of the Trump campaign, the witness, whose name is shielded by a protective order, said that the vote tallies were collected from the machine at the end of every voting day and stored on Universal Serial Bus...

Big Rally Saturday Night in Georgia!!!

A wanted "armed and dangerous" suspect from Massachusetts has been shot and killed in New York City following a confrontation with U.S. Marshals early Friday, according to multiple law enforcement sources.

In October, the Seattle City Council floated legislation to provide an exemption from prosecution for misdemeanor crimes for any citizen who suffers from poverty, homelessness, addiction, or mental illness. Under the proposed ordinance, courts would have to dismiss all so-called “crimes of poverty”—which, according to the city’s former public-safety advisor, would cover more than 90 percent of all misdemeanor cases citywide. In effect, the legislation would create a new class of “untouchables,” protected from consequences by the city’s powerbrokers. This is the latest and most brazen effort in the city’s campaign to establish what might be called a “reverse hierarchy...

The ball is completely in your court, Governor. – Yesterday’s legislative hearing in Georgia apparently had an impact, at least on RINO Governor Brian Kemp, it seems. In a Fox News interview last night, Kemp called for what should have happened two weeks ago, a full signature audit of mail-in and absentee ballots in the state. From a story at DailyWire: Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp called for a signature audit of the state’s election results on Thursday night during an interview on Fox News, saying that some of what allegedly came out today during a Georgia Senate Government Oversight...

[Note: This piece contains heavy video content.] This video evidence has gone viral across all social media platforms and is placing a huge amount of pressure on the Georgia Governor and Secretary of State to finally do the right thing. But – and there is always a “but” in this month-long soap opera, it seems, if Sidney Powell is right in her repeated claims that both officials are themselves compromised by having financially benefitted in their leadership in awarding Dominion Systems a huge contract to provide vote counting hardware and software in their state, then they will likely just keep...

It may fall on Congress to determine who has won the closest House race in 36 years. The race in Iowa’s 2nd District was decided by just six votes after a recount, with Republican state Sen. Mariannette Miller-Meeks appearing to defeat former Democratic state Sen. Rita Hart in the open-seat race. State election officials certified the results Monday, and on Wednesday, Hart announced she plans to appeal to the House to consider ballots not included in the recount. The overturning of state-certified results by the House is rare and last happened after the 1984 elections. Hart could have challenged the...

Slanted is the third book by Sharyl Attkisson. As with her other two, it is a refreshing read. It is nice to know that there are still independent journalists who put fact over opinion, and she is one of those. To no one's surprise, she talks about the shift in the news, from a focus on reporting the facts to pushing a narrative on the American people. American Thinker had the privilege of interviewing her. The emphasis of the book is on "the Narrative," a phrase describing how powerful interests shape the news and information online. This strategy includes discouraging...

“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live” (Proverbs 4:4 KJV).

Most Republicans who voted for Trump sleep well at night, with a clear conscience. Their bottom line was trying to keep a political party out of power which is the sworn enemy of Judeo-Christian culture, economic freedom, the original intent of the Constitution and its corollary of limited government. Now just a little past Nov 3rd we are left with a bitter taste in our mouths -- a Republican victory that seemed ever so close has now evaporated in the haze of millions of mail-in votes. What disheartened Republicans must realize now, is that in a very short period of...

A whistleblower told the Amistad Project that, in October, as many as 280,000 ballots that were transported from New York to Lancaster, Pennsylvania had “disappeared.” Phill Kline, a former district attorney and Kansas attorney general who is director of the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said during a Tuesday news conference that he had received evidence that between “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, New York to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where those ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared” on Oct. 21.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said President Donald Trump's veto would hold up a $908 billion bipartisan stimulus bill from passing. In a statement circulated to media outlets on Wednesday, McConnell said that only his much smaller proposal reflects "what the President is ready to sign into law." "At the risk of repeating something we all know, making law will require not just the Senate's approval, but also the signature of the President of the United States," McConnell's statement read. The $908 billion bill, which was backed on Wednesday by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck...

The novel coronavirus was circulating undetected in the United States for weeks in December—about a full month before the first confirmed case in the country, according to a new study that has been published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The eye-opening research arrived at its conclusion after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found evidence of coronavirus antibodies in blood collected in December 2019. The samples had been gathered originally to test for exposure to mosquito-borne illnesses like the West Nile virus. After analyzing blood donations collected by the American Red Cross from individuals in nine states...

Donald Trump has doubled down on his threat to veto a $740bn (£549bn) defence bill that does not include a repeal of protections for internet companies. Congressional negotiators reached a compromise deal on Thursday regarding the National Defense Authorisation Act (NDAA), which addresses pay for service members, troop levels and weapons procurement. The bill is expected to go to the House and Senate floors next week, where it will likely pass, before going to Mr Trump for final sign-off. But shortly before midnight on Thursday Mr Trump, in an angry late-night Twitter tirade, vowed to veto the legislation over its...

During the COVID pandemic, much science is at play, treated either as gospel or hate speech, enough for science professionals to lose their jobs or be suspended from social media platforms if their views are inconvenient to the establishment’s narrative. The all-knowing, all-caring, anointed guru of all things COVID, Dr Anthony Fauci, has been wrong at least as often as he has been right, with a predictive value of a coin flip. Yet any scientific utterance from him is treated in the media as a scientific law, on par with gravity, as long he speaks convenient science. The CDC and...

Americans cherish religious freedom. And the COVID-19 crisis has reminded people of faith, especially how much they value this critical First Amendment right. For me, a Christian, the past eight months of lockdowns have underscored the importance of in-person worship or, rather, the importance of fellowship in nurturing one’s spiritual life. As David Mathis, a pastor and executive editor of Desiring God, says, “Worshipping Jesus together may be the single most important thing we do. It plays an indispensable role in rekindling our spiritual fire and keeping it burning. Corporate worship brings together God’s word, prayer, and fellowship, and so...

If you claim to hate racism and then claim that all white people are racists, you just might be a Democrat. And 21 more indications of donkey-brain. If you believe it’s okay to kill your own baby in your womb, but that hunting should be banned, you just might be a Democrat. If you think invasive species are an existential threat to the United States, but that illegal aliens always enrich us with their presence, you just might be a Democrat. If you think smoking cigarettes should be banned, but smoking marijuana should be legalized, you just might be a...
