There are constitutional rules on how prisons are operated, how zoning laws must be drafted and what rights members of the LGBT community must be accorded; however, there are no rules regarding modern voting machines, as well as the hardware and software used to tabulate votes. Clearly, some constitutional rules should apply to these machines because they control our most basic rights, which includes the right to vote and the right to have it counted honestly. It must surely be considered unconstitutional for a municipality to utilize voting machines that allow poll workers to switch a vote if they thought...

The Frederick County Sheriff's Office is investigating the deaths of an 80-year-old man and his 77-year-old wife in Sabillasville, authorities announced Friday. First responders were dispatched at about 2 p.m. Friday to the 17000 block of Harbaugh Valley Road for a report of two people in cardiac arrest, according to FCSO spokesman Todd Wivell.

Their bodies were transported to the office of the chief medical examiner for autopsies to determine the cause of death, and the next of kin had been notified. There were no signs...

If feminism destroys spaces for men, society will collapse. Is that inevitable or can the rot be stopped?

A Texas high school football player has been charged with assault one day after attacking a referee during a game. Edinburg High School senior Emmanuel Duron was booked into jail Friday morning and charged with "assault causing bodily injury," according to Hidalgo County jail records. Duron, 18, posted a $10,000 bond on Friday evening and was expected to be released. The incident happened during the second quarter of Edinburg’s 35-21 victory over Pharr-San Juan-Alamo. Duron received one personal foul penalty for roughing the opposing quarterback and another after an apparent exchange of words with the referee. After referee Fred Gracia...

This happened in Valdosta, Georgia last night: Thousands of Georgians turned out to see President Donald Trump speak, exemplars of the 75 million Americans who voted for him in November and who won’t be just fading into the woodwork in the wake of this clearly stolen election. At several junctures throughout the night, the crowd of patriots loudly stated what they intend to keep doing: Naturally, no TV outlet carried the rally as the corrupt media continues its efforts to bully the public into accepting an election stolen vial massive voter fraud, but the event attracted hundreds of thousands of...

[Note: This piece uses heavy video content.] In a just and free society in which laws mattered, John Brennan would be in federal prison, not making Sunday morning appearances on Fox News or raking in millions from his contributor deal with MSNBC. But that’s all been lost in America over the past 25 years, aided and abetted during the Trump Administration by worthless Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and William Barr. To exemplify just how abjectly worthless Barr and his “Special Counsel” John Durham have been, late last week Director of National Intelligence told an interviewer that he and his staff...

Slanted is the third book by Sharyl Attkisson, and 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 more on trying to push a narrative on the American people. Attkisson begins Slanted by talking about George Orwell's book 1984. Attkisson tells the story of "the hapless protagonist, Winston Smith, a government records editor at the Ministry of...

Former Trump Team attorney Sidney Powell's lawsuit that has been filed in Georgia alleges: “… the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China & Iran in order to monitor & manipulate elections, including the most recent U.S. general election in 2020.” A Dominion executive was quoted as saying: “Trump is not going to win. I made f***ing sure of that.” Powell's suit cites "a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence with experience gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence," saying "the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China and Iran in...

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada state Republican Party promised Friday to appeal a judge’s refusal to overturn the results of the statewide presidential election and stop the state’s six Democratic presidential electors from voting for President-elect Joe Biden. A statement from GOP spokeswoman Jessica Hanson came after Judge James Todd Russell in Carson City said he saw no clear or convincing proof “under any standard of evidence” that he should declare President Donald Trump the winner in Nevada or throw out results of the statewide vote. “Contestants did not prove ... that illegal votes were cast and counted that...

Facebook on Thursday said it is revising its systems to prioritize blocking slurs against Black people, gays and other groups historically targeted by hateful vitriol, no longer automatically filtering out barbs aimed broadly at whites, men, or Americans. The change in Facebook's algorithm is a shift from the social network's ethnicity and gender-neutral system that removed anti-white comments and comments such as "Men are dumb" or "Americans are stupid." "We know that hate speech targeted towards underrepresented groups can be the most harmful, which is why we have focused our technology on finding the hate speech that users and experts...

Just days after some 50 Christmas trees were stolen from a local hardware store, the Spokane Police Department said it has arrested the real life “Grinch” who stole them. Upon reviewing store security video at River Ridge Hardware, 2803 W. Garland, Ave., it was clear the incident happened at 3:30 a.m. when someone packed the trees into a trailer. A post on the store’s facebook page asked the public to share any information they might have with the Spokane Police Department, according to a department news release. On Monday, officers with the Patrol Anti-Crime Team and Downtown Neighborhood Resource Officers...

This is a 2-year-old educational video from Symantec that I found on YouTube 12/6/2020. It shows how easy it would be to hack a voting machine. The media and Dems keep saying vote stealing couldn't happen. Well this video from Symantec, the long-time cyber security leader, shows it can.This is Symantec's own statement about the video: "To demonstrate how vulnerable some of our digital election infrastructure really is, we bought two voting machines from an online auction site for less than $200. They were last used in State and Federal elections in 2012 and 2013. What vulnerabilities will we find?...

Legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin need to fix this state of affairs. In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, we have heard about massive voter fraud in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. It appears that the fraud, if reversed, would change the winner in these states from Joe Biden to Donald Trump. The electoral votes in question add to 79. This would give Trump a total of 311, easily making him the winner. Trump has tried suing to right the situation, but unfortunately, almost all of the judges hearing the cases dismiss them without...

President Donald Trump on Saturday suggested former Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) primary Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the next gubernatorial election. Collins, who ended up third in a free-for-all race to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the retirement of Sen. Johnny Isakson, joined Trump on stage during a rally in Valdosta on Saturday night. After calling Collins “one the greatest advocates I’ve ever met in Washington,” the president added, “Doug, you want to run for governor in two years?” The crowd cheered and applauded as Trump said Collins would “be a good-looking governor.”

VALDOSTA, Georgia - U.S. President Donald Trump campaigned in Georgia on Saturday for two Republican senators at a rally that some in his party feared could end up hurting, not helping, their chances by focusing on his efforts to reverse his own election defeat. In his first rally appearance since he lost to Democrat Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 presidential contest, Trump urged the crowd to vote for Republican candidates in the Georgia runoff election on Jan. 5 despite his unsubstantiated claims of significant electoral fraud in the state. But he gave considerable time in his remarks to allegations,...

It’s just the flu, bro. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt_laws_in_the_United_States Seat belts - is that where this medical socialism and the Coronavirus fauxdemic lockdowns originated? Why didn’t we riot in the streets in the 1980s when the first seat belt laws came into effect? We should have. Only the “live free or die” state, New Hampshire, has no seat belt laws. Every other state has told its citizens that you can’t enjoy the freedom of driving a car with no seat belt. In Canada, and other places with socialized medicine, this is the justification for seat belt laws, helmet laws, etc. - all citizens...

Showing admirable fortitude, President Trump held a rally in Valdosta, Georgia, in support of Republican Senate candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in their early January, 2021runoff election against Democrats Warnock and Ossoff. Trump walked a perilous high wire, without a safety net. Against the background of seemingly great election fraud, Trump had to exhort the raucous crowd to vote, using the same suspect voting apparatus that cheated him a month earlier. The speech had remnants of speeches past, but Trump’s affect was somber, serious and restrained. Jokes were absent, name calling mostly, too. He did give a shout-out to...

Jakarta (AFP) - Indonesia's social affairs minister was arrested Sunday for allegedly taking $1.2 million in bribes linked to food aid for those hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Juliari Batubara was named as a suspect after Indonesian anti-corruption agents seized suitcases, backpacks and envelopes stuffed with cash equivalent to $1.2 million in a sting operation on Saturday. He turned himself in on Sunday at the anti-corruption agency's headquarters, becoming the second minister in President Joko Widodo's government to be arrested over alleged graft in recent weeks. "That's the people's money... it's aid urgently needed to help during Covid-19 and for...

What will future mainstream published books on "president-elect" Biden say about the "dashing, coherent, charismatic statesman"? With the release of Obama's third book, a 700-page self-glorification tome, we each need to be reminded of what gets published and promoted in the mainstream press, and what never sees the light of day. From the day Donald Trump was inaugurated and, realistically, even months before that, the mainstream press, major book publishers, and most print media had ill-will for Donald Trump. Seemingly 24/7, Trump’s every move was detected, inspected, analyzed, and categorized as something malevolent. A spate of published books during his...
