Fifty-seven-year-old Bronx resident Paul Alexander was arrested Thursday for allegedly trafficking girls as young as 12 years old. “The arrest was the result of a joint investigation by the state prosecutor’s office called ‘Operation Mile High’ — a nod to his job as CEO of Central Jet Charter, New York Attorney General Letitia James said Saturday,” the New York Post reported. Alexander allegedly charged an undercover agent $300 for sex with two girls, with both victims earning a third of the money, the article read. The New York attorney general’s office detailed the events in a press release on Saturday:...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Dec. 6. The Select Committee on the Perilous Condition of the Country was announced to-day, and will go to work and report each proposition separately, as agreed on, beginning with that of Fugitive Slaves. This, it is believed, will strengthen the conservative party in the Gulf States, and prevent separate secession. HOUSTON and COBB say their Districts will send thirty of the one hundred delegates to the Alabama Convention, pledged against, precipitation. Costa will send three, Mobile four, Green three, and Autagua one, also pledged against it. The Republicans are alive to the dangers threatening the country. SHERMAN,...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Psalm 65For the director of music. A psalm of David. A song. 1 Praise awaits[b] you, our God, in Zion; to you our vows will be fulfilled. 2 You who answer prayer, to you all people will come. 3 When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave[c] our transgressions. 4 Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. 5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds, God our Savior, the hope of...

On Saturday, I received an email from Stephen Fee, the Communications Director for PEN America, alerting me to a virtual gala celebration on December 8 to honor Barack Obama with its 2020 Voice of Influence Award. Among other topics, Obama will share with the PEN audience how “disinformation -- and media outlets willing to spread it -- are an immediate threat to democracy.” PEN’s mission, so they tell us, is “to protect free expression in the United States and worldwide.” Is this a hoax? Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize more than he deserves this award. A report released by...

... Democracy expert Larry Diamond recently wrote, “Come January, American democracy will still be in serious trouble. And only the American people can fix it.” But with the electorate as divided as the branches of government, no consensus will emerge anytime soon. This leaves only the bureaucracy - what’s left of it - to save democracy from itself. The so-called deep state - or at least, the deep state as Trump himself has defined it - must fight back. It must fix itself so that better governance becomes easier than the current path of partisanship driving democracy into further decay....

As the media and pundits leap to disparage Georgia attorney and Trump supporter Lin Wood or discredit his claims of widespread voter fraud—it is important to consider who he is: a defamation lawyer. And perhaps no one is better equipped or proven at correcting a false narrative than Wood. His biggest victories include representing two of the most publicized instances of defamation or libel in the last 20 to 30 years in his representation of Richard Jewell and Nick Sandmann. Jewell was incorrectly identified by the media and FBI as the bomber during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and Sandmann...

A former professional boxer is a prime suspect in the bludgeoning murder of her husband, whose body was found inside their apartment in Switzerland. Brazil-born bruiser Viviane Obenauf, 34, is suspected of clobbering her hubby “with a blunt object” inside the home they shared, the UK’s Daily Star reported. She was arrested last week after the victim, identified only as 61-year-old “Thomas,” was found dead of “massive injuries” sustained during a “violent assault,” Swiss police said. Obenauf - who fought in three world title bouts during her career - held a 14-6 record and two World Boxing Federation international titles...

Bob Dylan, the nasally voice of the nation for decades, has signed a blockbuster deal to sell his entire song catalog, spanning more than 600 copyrights and six decades. Universal Music announced Monday that it has signed a “landmark agreement” with the 79-year-old singer-songwriter for his lifetime of work, “from 1962′s cultural milestone ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ to this year’s epic ‘Murder Most Foul.’” “To represent the body of work of one of the greatest songwriters of all time — whose cultural importance can’t be overstated — is both a privilege and a responsibility,” Jody Gerson, the chairman and CEO...

"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen." —Vladimir Lenin This has been such a week or several weeks. Everything seems to be happening. Most of it not so good. And it ain't over. At such times, it is easy to become despondent. Americans are watching cherished institutions crumble in the face of leftist ideology: the FBI, the courts, election officials, the Justice Department, ballots in trucks, ballots in suitcases. No need to review that here. Well, there is something else going on, and maybe it's time to dig into it a bit. Stand back...

This was an interview Trump NSA O'Brien gave. He is not so happy with China on COVID: First, as we are now a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, I would like to get your thoughts on China’s role in this crisis. The Trump administration in the past has been very tough on Beijing, criticizing their reaction, lack of transparency, and initial response. How much blame today, if any, do you place on China for the spread of the Coronavirus? Do you think they could have done more? They absolutely could have done more. From the very start, we wanted...

It’s just the flu, bro. So many people over 65 have learned a lot about heath and nutrition as a result of this Coronavirus fauxdemic. The increase in vitamin D levels alone may lead to an increase in longevity. This may go down as the first “pandemic” that fuels an increase in longevity, as opposed to a drop in life expectancy. This might not kick in right away, unfortunately, as governments are busy making it difficult for people to receive their routine health care as a result of Coronavirus lockdown rules. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3912884/posts Article above is somewhat related to the longevity...

The U.S. Constitution was directly violated in the presidential election in Pennsylvania and half a dozen states. A new friend of the court brief filed last Thursday explains in the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Joseph B. Scarnati v. Pennsylvania Democrat Party, et al. First, can anything be done? Each state legislature has the power to cure invalid elections in their state by directly appointing the Electors from their state who will vote in the Electoral College on December 14, 2020. We do not lack legal and constitutional remedies. We lack elected officials with guts. The Supreme Court...

It is totally obvious that there was massive, coordinated cheating in this 2020 Presidential election. The biggest piece of evidence for me was the 19 bellwether counties with a 100% accuracy record for predicting who would be President suddenly being wrong when Trump won 18 of 19 of them and supposedly lost. Didn't happen. Then, there's the mountain of other statistical evidence I won't rehash. It is plainly known that the Democrats in an organized crime fashion secured machine votes, false ballots and God knows what else to make it look like Biden won when he couldn't have won a...

ATLANTA - Sen. Kelly Loeffler repeatedly refused to acknowledge that President Donald Trump lost reelection in November, as she debated her Democratic opponent, Rev. Raphael Warnock, ahead of twin Georgia runoff elections that will determine which party controls the Senate. Asked specifically about President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia and whether she agreed with Trump’s unfounded accusations of widespread voter fraud, Loeffler sidestepped the matter during a debate Sunday. Although Trump has lost round after round of court challenges in Georgia and other battleground states, and Georgia’s results were certified last month, Loeffler described Trump as merely pursuing “every legal...

1) The Decline of America There is really no end-time power in the Bible other than a Revived Roman Empire from which the Antichrist will headquarter. Thus, prophecy watchers have always known America must decline. This year we have watched capitalism come under attack and socialism and globalism be heralded. Some progressive but deluded political leaders are even hailing Marxism, including many on the Biden team. 2) The Rise of Lawlessness, Anarchy and Spirit of Antichrist We see unbridled lawlessness in Matthew 24 and parts of Revelation, although the context of both is the Tribulation. So once again, we see...

[Note: this piece uses heavy video content.] Think of how America’s posture towards the ChiCom government is going to shift if China Joe Potato Head Biden, whose family has profited to the tune of millions from Chinese interests over the past decade, is installed into the presidency. Think of how easy it will then become for Xi Jinping and the ChiComs to subvert our political system, especially if the Democrats win both runoff elections in Georgia and assume control of both houses of congress. In the media, talking heads at every major TV and radio outlet and newspapers have been...

Paris (AFP) - Last month was the hottest November on record as Europe basked in its highest Autumn temperatures in history, the European Union's satellite monitoring service said Monday. The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) analysis of surface and air temperatures found that November 2020 was 0.8C warmer than the 30-year average of 1981-2010 -- more than 0.1C hotter than the previous record. "These records are consistent with the long-term warming trend of the global climate," said C3S director Carlo Buontempo. "All policy-makers who prioritise mitigating climate risks should see these records as alarm bells and consider more seriously than...

The origins of the Pearl Harbor attack can be traced back to 1853 when the United States essentially forced a feudal Japan to open trade via Commodore Matthew Perry’s squadron of armed ships. Japan, at that time was very much like much of Europe was centuries before with warlords using the obsolete sword as the primary weapon of war duking it out among their various tribes with little central control. This forced Japan out of some 250 years of self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world and they opened one port for international trade. Other nations, including Russia soon...

A systematic review published 12/3/20 by the Oxford U has confirmed that cov2 rtPCR testing patient sample cycle thresholds >30 are associated with NEGATIVE viral cultures. What does that mean? It means that roughly 80% of all "positives" being reported in your state/region are likely non-infectious and clinically meaningless. If health authoritarians changed the testing standard by lowering the cycle threshold (CT) cutoff to less than "30", cases would magically drop 80+ percent. Excerpt from the study: ..."Complete live viruses are necessary for transmission, not the fragments identified by PCR. Those with high cycle threshold are unlikely to have infectious...
