Somewhat relevant of what is happening now, except that Cass Elliot would be eating the fake ballots rather than counting them.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk put his California houses on the market this year while he was sparring with state lawmakers over Covid-19 restrictions. He’s simultaneously been expanding operations in Texas and cozying up to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. Now, several of his close friends and associates say that Musk has told them he’s planning to move to the Lone Star State. The people with knowledge of his plans asked not to be named because their conversations were private. Musk, the world’s second-wealthiest person behind Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, is in Texas frequently already. He spends most of his time between Austin,...

Brian Kemp, Brad Raffensperger, Geoffrey Duncan, Gabriel Sterling. Remember names. They are ALL going to jail. They are complicit in foreign interference with national election. They will be joined by many others. To those threatening me, stop wasting your time. I am fearless.

Right after the interview, Tapper talked with 10pm host Don Lemon, who said “it feels like we are watching … a president-elect and a president who are on Earth One and Earth Two. And at this particular Earth that is in reality, it was very normal, very sedate. And it was welcoming news. It was good to watch. It was good to actually get content. We heard no fake news. We heard no conspiracy theories. We heard no personal grievances. We heard a President-Elect and a vice president who want to work with the other side.” “No fake news:” That’s...

Hollywood actor Wendell Pierce appears to have made an attempt to trick Trump supporters into boycotting the Georgia runoff elections by parroting talking points recently made by attorneys Lin Wood and Sidney Powell. In a tweet on Friday, the left-wing star of HBO’s The Wire and Amazon’s Jack Ryan told the MAGA base to boycott the Georgia runoff elections set for January 5. “#MAGA Boycott the Vote. Don’t Vote in GA. Rigged Election. Don’t Vote. Listen to President Trump,” Wendell Pierce said in the tweet, which he has since deleted.... ... Georgia is ground zero in the battle for the...

Head of Pfizer Research: Covid Vaccine is Female SterilizationThe vaccine contains a spike protein (see image) called syncytin-1, vital for the formation of human placenta in women. If the vaccine works so that we form an immune response AGAINST the spike protein, we are also training the female body to attack syncytin-1, which could lead to infertility in women of an unspecified duration.Dr. Wodarg and Dr. Yeadon request a stop of all corona vaccination studies and call for co-signing the petitionOn the one hand, the petitioners demand that, due to the known lack of accuracy of the PCR test in...

Illegal conduct by state and local officials during the election process can alter the deadlines for choosing electors. The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released a white paper on Friday making the case that current Electoral College deadlines are arbitrary and not set in stone, contrary to what most news outlets have reported. The white paper says that these deadlines — Dec. 8 for disputes to be resolved and Electors to be determined, and Dec. 14 for the Electoral College to meet in person and vote in their respective states — are a "direct impediment to states'...

While the Black Lives Matter Global Network, led by ‘trained Marxist’ Patrisse Cullors, embraced the windfall of donations following the George Floyd protests across America, local chapters say they were left holding the bag. It was through the hard work of “radical black organizers” engaging in a “protracted struggle for our lives against police terrorism” that Black Lives Matter attracted millions of dollars in contributions this year, yet the BLMGN only recently invited selected chapters to apply for a $500,000 grant, ten chapters from across the US said in a statement this week. “This is not the equity and financial...

The presidential election of 1912 reflected a time of party division and booming progressivism in partisan politics, as former President Theodore Roosevelt led a robust movement of Republicans who opposed reflexive conservatism. Roosevelt, who served as president of the United States from 1901 to 1909, dove into a vigorous presidential campaign for the Progressive Party, or Bull Moose Party, advocating against President William Howard Taft and his leadership. Taft’s presidency triggered Republican party division, prompting Roosevelt to form the Bull Moose Party, a political faction within the Republican party, and made Roosevelt become a prominent third-party candidate on the presidential...

A Maryland lawyer was charged in an 11-count indictment for his alleged role in a scheme to fraudulently obtain control of more than $12.5 million that was held by financial institutions on behalf of the Somali government, to improperly take part of those funds for fees and expenses, and to launder a portion of those funds to accounts for the benefit of his co-conspirators.Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur of the District of Maryland, Special Agent in Charge Jennifer C. Boone of the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office, and...

In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "castle doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home. "I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people...

Recently Joe Biden said that another 250,000 people could die by January: “Christmas is going to be a lot harder,” Biden said during a virtual briefing to business owners. “I don’t want to scare anybody here, but understand the facts. We’re likely to lose another 250,000 people dead between now and January … because people aren’t paying attention.” He wants everyone to wear masks. democrats have introduced mandatory mask legislation: Two Senate Democrats have authored legislation that would force every American to wear a mask or other face covering amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It would have been better for the owner of Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill if Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti had come by and slapped her in the face. At least that would have caused temporary pain instead of the figurative slap in the face she received from the Mayor instead. Her business has been financially ravaged by the coronavirus lockdowns. They’ve done everything they can to stay afloat, including making massive accommodations for outside dining with tables placed seven feet apart. Yet the latest round of “close everything” from both the Mayor and Governor Gavin Newsom have brought them...

If significant numbers of Republican voters choose to not participate in the January 5 runoff elections for both Senate seats, and that leads to victories by Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, that will do nothing for Donald Trump, Trump’s legacy as president, the Republican Party, and the cause of conservatism. It will, however, do a lot for Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, who would instantly become major power brokers in the Republican Party. They could take their “your vote was stolen by rigged machines” conspiracy-theory schtick to any state in the union and hold don’t-get-out-the-vote rallies for any race, telling...

The 11th Circuit just issued its decision in L. Lin Wood's appeal of the district court's denial of his request for an injunction against the Georgia election results. The decision holds that (a) Wood lacks standing, and (b) even if he didn't, any election challenge is now moot because Georgia already certified its electoral votes.

A federal appeals court on Saturday rejected a bid by a conservative lawyer to block President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia and left in place procedures that will make it easier for voters to cast absentee ballots in January when two Senate seats are up for grabs. U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg, who was nominated by Trump, rejected attorney L. Lin Wood’s arguments and found in a Nov. 20 opinion that the lawyer had no standing to sue. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta agreed with the lower court, saying Wood had failed “to allege...

On December 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump signed the Executive Order on Promoting the Use of Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in the Federal Government, which establishes guidance for Federal agency adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to more effectively deliver services to the American people and foster public trust in this critical technology. This order recognizes the potential for AI to improve government operations, such as by reducing outdated or duplicative regulations, enhancing the security of Federal information systems, and streamlining application processes. It also directs agencies to ensure that the design, development, acquisition, and use of AI is done in...

Steve Adler, the Democrat mayor of Austin, Texas, told residents they should “stay home” in the midst of a surge in the coronavirus pandemic via a video he filmed while on vacation in Mexico. “Stay home if you can … We need to keep the numbers down,” Adler said in a clip uploaded to Facebook. “This is not the time to relax.” It turns out Adler himself was relaxing, since he made the video, according to the Daily Mail, “speaking from his timeshare in Cabo San Lucas.” Fox News reports that the Democrat was at a timeshare “after flying on...
