On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut,” host Joy Reid reacted to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and San Francisco Mayor London Breed eating out, and Austin Mayor Steve Adler (D) urging residents to stay at home while he was in Mexico by stating that “Even the good politicians are messing up. And I don’t know what to do at this point if even the good guys are messing up.”

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.1 Chronicles 5:18-2218 The Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men ready for military service—able-bodied men who could handle shield and sword, who could use a bow, and who were trained for battle. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish and Nodab. 20 They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him. 21 They seized the livestock of the...

We just learned that Professor Walter E. Williams passed away. He was 84 and born in 1936. In my case, I got to know Professor Williams when a fellow conservative gave me Race and Economics: How Much Can Be Blamed on Discrimination? to read. It made so much sense that I gave my copy to another friend, bought a second one and gave it to another friend to read and finally bought my own copy and locked it in my desk so I would never give it away again. What a great book!In the 1990s, the professor became Rush Limbaugh's...

A mysterious object temporarily orbiting Earth is a 54-year-old rocket, not an asteroid after all, astronomers confirmed Wednesday. Observations by a telescope in Hawaii clinched its identity, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The object was classified as an asteroid after its discovery in September. But NASA’s top asteroid expert, Paul Chodas, quickly suspected it was the Centaur upper rocket stage from Surveyor 2, a failed 1966 moon-landing mission. Size estimates had put it in the range of the old Centaur, which was about 32 feet (10 meters) long and 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter. Chodas...

The China National Space Administration Friday released images showing China's national flag unfurled from the Chang'e-5 probe on the moon. The images were taken by a panoramic camera installed on the lander-ascender combination of the probe, before the ascender blasted off from the moon with lunar samples late Thursday. In one of the images, a robotic arm to collect lunar samples can be seen next to the flag. China's Chang'e-5 probe was launched on November 24, and its lander-ascender combination touched down on the north of the Mons Rumker in Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms, on...

There are serious questions about the Pennsylvania election others have documented. My goal is to find additional items that need to be questioned.I began performing an analysis of the Pennsylvania results from the JSON files being referenced to determine on an hourly basis if there were any timeframes with ballot "spikes." Logic would seem to indicate that those might be timeframes that need investigation. Before I could really dig into that analysis, I noticed some other items I could not explain. I then set calculations to examine the vote totals by reported minutes. And I found some items that I...

Layoffs were taking place on Thursday at ABC News as part of a restructuring and job cuts across The Walt Disney Co. The layoffs were in the “low single digit” percentage of the workforce and were across the news division, according to a source with knowledge of the matter. The news division has about 1,400 employees. Other network news divisions also have laid off employees over the past year, including NBC News, CBS News and Fox News.

ATLANTA — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted attorney Lin Wood on Thursday for “trying to mislead” Georgians after Wood called for voters to boycott the critical Senate runoff election on January 5 because of alleged voter fraud that occurred in the presidential election. Cruz emphasized the implications of Republicans refusing to vote in the runoffs, where the Senate majority hinges on at least one of the two Republican candidates on the ballot, Sens. David Perdue or Kelly Loeffler, winning their runoff race.

"It's a bloodbath." That's how two longtime Disney staffers have described the wave of layoffs happening at the company Thursday. The staff reductions are taking place in Disney's General Entertainment Content unit, overseen by Peter Rice, and Dana Walden's Walt Disney Television division, including ABC and studio 20th Television.

At the Georgia Senate Committee Hearing on December 3, 2020, a Security Expert testified that his company developed a mathematical model which accurately predicted expected vote percentages for Biden and Trump by county across the country EXCEPT for counties that used Dominion Systems voting equipment. In counties that used Dominion Systems machines, Biden overperformed the model by FIVE PERCENT. With so much attention being given to the revelation of the hidden suitcases of ballots that were counted after people were told to go home for the night, it seemed to me that this equally important revelation was being overlooked. So...

(Alvesgaspar/Wikimedia commons/CC BY-SA 3.0) =============================================================== A tiny brown invasive species of spider that's creeping its way across the UK has a dangerous reputation for dissolving flesh, one that many experts have argued isn't deserved. There's now compelling evidence suggesting that stories of the false widow spider (Steatoda nobilis) causing horrid skin infections has at least some basis in fact. The false widow has called the UK home ever since it was spotted on its shores in the 1870s, most likely having hitched a ride from Madeira and the Canary Islands off the African coast. In recent decades its range has...

An activist group demanding a COVID relief package piled-up body bags in front of the homes of several Republican lawmakers Tuesday morning. The group – known as SPACEs In Action – left the body bags in front of homes belonging to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), James Inhofe (R-OK), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The group accused McConnell of having “blood … on his hands” by “blocking a vote on COVID relief” and bragged about their stunt on social media stating they brought “the bodies to his doorstep.” The targeted harassment at the private homes...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a new set of physical requirements for its field officers in 2015. For the first time since the year 2000, the Bureau established a fitness test. It is puzzling that over those 15 years, agents have not had such a test, whereas in the 1980s and 1990s physical fitness testing was mandatory. As if announcing that such tests somehow represent a revelation, the director of the FBI cited that protecting the lives of American citizens, as well as FBI colleagues, "may well depend" on FBI agents' physical abilities, such as running, fighting, and...

William Stringer, using the handle Endeez, thinks he found a bombshell with Biden taking a minimum of 98% of a 23,487 vote batch at 12:18 am. The author of the clip asks people to watch the first minute. He believes he has found fraud. Biden’s lead in Georgia is only 12,781 votes. “This analysis is based on official timestamped election night data from Edison Research which was obtained from the NYT website,” Endeez writes. Endeez continues: This batch of 23,487 votes went, at an absolute minimum accounting for all decimal places, 97.9779% for Biden. This batch was uploaded at 12:18...

If you’re on the left, you believe that the traditional idea that humans come in two sexes (male and female) is not only outdated but evil. Instead, leftism insists that human sex identification is an infinitely malleable matter of personal choice, untethered to genetics. Conservatives respond that it’s not a matter of choice. Instead, people who claim to be transgendered almost invariably have complex mental issues, often stemming from their upbringing. A recently recovered 1991 study supports conservatives. During his pre-election town hall, Joe Biden happily accepted that little boys and girls know exactly what sex they really are (separate...

Key Native American leaders working with the Biden campaign offered tribal members and associates Visa gift cards, jewelry, and other “swag” to vote in the presidential election, according to several videos being used by the Trump campaign’s effort to challenge Nevada’s vote. In one long video, officials from the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony are shown offering a raffle for gift cards in values of $25, $100, $250, and $500 to those who can prove they voted. Other gifts for voting include bracelets, necklaces, earrings, T-shirts, and masks. “If you come here to vote or if you voted already, RSIC is having...

Georgia Republican Sen. David Perdue appeared to accept that President-elect Joe Biden won the election in a conference call with a GOP group even though he has yet to do so publicly. Perdue, who, along with Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the other senator from Georgia, is facing a runoff election next month with the Senate majority on the line, and President Trump is heading down to the Peach State this weekend to campaign for them. Neither incumbent has publicly addressed Biden as the president-elect, as President Trump has refused to concede, but the Washington Post obtained and published a Zoom video...
