WILMINGTON, Del. – David C. Weiss, United States Attorney for the District of Delaware, announced today that Rodney Phipps, 30, of Georgetown, was sentenced today to 37 months in prison by the Honorable Richard G. Andrews, United States District Judge for the District of Delaware.Phipps pled guilty in January 2020 to five counts of making interstate threats and one count of making a false threat involving explosives in relation to a string of “swatting” phone calls he made to police departments and emergency dispatch centers across the country. “Swatting” involves making hoax emergency calls in order to elicit an armed...

ALBANY, N.Y. (WIVB)–Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on Congress to pass a new round of jobless benefits before it’s too late. New federal labor numbers show more than 13-million Americans are receiving unemployment benefits through Cares Act programs, but those funds will expire the day after Christmas. Senator Schumer says rising covid infections are likely to hurt hiring, putting more families in peril. “So many millions have been thrown out of work through no fault of their own. They’ve been living not luxuriously, and on less salary, than they usually get through the pandemic unemployment insurance that we passed.”

The coronavirus vaccine developed by American drugmaker Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech was being sent to hospitals across the U.K. in super-cold containers on Sunday, two days ahead of the kickoff of Britain’s biggest-ever immunization program, one being closely watched around the world. Around 800,000 doses of the vaccine are expected to be in place for the start of the rollout on Tuesday, a day that British Health Secretary Matt Hancock has reportedly dubbed as “V-Day,” a nod to triumphs in World War II. “Despite the huge complexities, hospitals will kickstart the first phase of the largest scale vaccination campaign in...

The left has ALWAYS used talking points to get their message out and they hammer it out ad nauseum. It's time WE do the same! Why they are called the Mainstream Media is beyond me! There is NOTHING mainstream about them. WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE MAINSTREAM AND THEY DON'T REPRESENT US! From now on, I hope you will join me by referring to them as the MARXIST MEDIA. After all, that is what they are and who they represent! Besides, it is a 'catchy' name and will drive them CRAZY to have the tables turned on these sick Hate...

he liberal elites of Hollywood spent the past four years declaring Donald Trump to be an illegitimate president, and whining that Hillary Clinton was the real winner of the 2016 election. So it’s nice to see Academy Award-winning A-lister Matthew McConaughey step up to weigh in and remind America yet again that he’s not your typical, out-of-touch Hollywood elitist. Ever since the media declared last month’s presidential election for Joe Biden, however, Hollywood lefties Alyssa Milano and Chelsea Handler have done a complete 180. They went from declaring 2016 election results a sham to belittling or shaming any Trump supporter...

Dr. Anthony Fauci made a virtual appearance at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) Monday briefing, where the men discouraged small gatherings during the holiday season, prompting Fauci to warn that the U.S. could be in for a “dark time” in January.

The Civil War (1861-1865) was nothing less than a revolutionary reorganization of American government, society, and economics. It claimed almost as many lives as every other U.S. conflict combined and, by war's bloody logic, forged the nation which the Founding Fathers could not by settling once and for all lingering national questions about state sovereignty and slavery. The postwar period, however, was one of arguably greater turmoil than the war itself. This is because many men in the South did not, in fact, lay down their arms at the end of the War. What’s more, freedmen, former slaves that were...

Attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Sunday that he believes the Supreme Court may get involved in adjudicating on whether state legislators have the power to pick alternate Electoral College electors who would vote for President Donald Trump if legislatures determine there was voter fraud, even after an initial slate of electors has cast its votes on Dec. 14. Dershowitz made the remarks in an interview with Fox News in which he was first asked about what he thought of claims made by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, who said there was a pattern of fraudulent activity that swayed the election in...

In one corner, President Trump and his allies claim massive fraud cost him the 2020 election. In the other, Democrats and sympathetic media allies argue that the vote was free and fair and that the charges of fraud amount to sour-grapes conspiracy mongering. Many allegations advanced by the president, his surrogates and supporters have been challenged and some have been dismissed by courts or debunked.Still, in numerous instances, media fact checkers have not been diligent. They have simply run the allegations past state authorities and other officials who would have orchestrated the alleged fraud or had an interest in minimizing...

I’m publicly asking the Washington Post to investigate the Gateway Pundit’s claim that Georgia had 53 consecutive batches of votes where Biden had 50.05% and Trump had 49.95%. If this claim is true, then it’s definite proof of fraud.The Gateway Pundit wrote:“In Georgia President Trump was up by as much as a 57% to Biden’s 42% and with 50% of the votes counted Trump was still way ahead. Then Biden was allocated batches of votes for hours, some with negative Trump votes and then with 89% of the votes in, Biden took the lead. From that point on for the...

Once upon a time Seattle was one of my favorite cities in the world. Situated as it is beside the beauty of Puget Sound with the Cascades in one direction and the majesty of the Olympic Peninsula in the other, it is placed in one of the world’s most beautiful locations. The climate also is enviable, never too cold, never too hot, perhaps a bit damp but nothing compared to the nearby rain forests. Wandering through Pike Place market was a magical experience then. Not anymore. Seattle has gone mad, lost to the inherently irrational “progressive” agenda that is raging...

On Sunday, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito moved up the deadline for officials in Pennsylvania to submit their responses to a lawsuit filed by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), in a bid to overturn the state’s election certification and toss out mail-in ballots. Alito, who oversees matters before the Third Circuit, which includes Pennsylvania, had originally called for response arguments from state officials to be filed by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 9, but he changed that yesterday morning to Tuesday by 9 a.m., Law&Crime reported, adding the change is “crucial.” As noted by Kelly in his 50-page lawsuit...

As the United States' Ambassador to Japan, I've seen firsthand the Communist Chinese regime's predatory practices. Make no mistake: Communist China remains a threat to our nation and to the world. They are an adversary and must be treated as such. Just look at what's afoot right now. The Communist Chinese regime is trying to blame Italy for the spread of COVID-19. The Communist propaganda machine is never impeded by the truth. The world knows this virus originated in Wuhan, China -- but that won't stop the Communist regime from spreading false information. We must continue to hold them accountable...

This family in south Australia didn’t need to buy a new ornament for their Christmas tree this year. That’s because they unexpectedly got a new one – and it’s alive! The McCormicks decided to adorn their faux fir tree with silver, pink, and blue decorations for this year. While the old plastic leaves of their Christmas tree already looked worn, they made up for it by adding colorful baubles on each branch and wrapping twinkling lights around it. Little did they know that another piece of ornament would attach itself to their tree very soon. 16-year-old Taylah McCormick was the...

Facebook is censoring criticism of a fake fact-check published by an “independent fact-checker,” who is bankrolled by both China and Big Tech.The Federalist published a piece Monday headlined, “The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not ‘Debunked.’ Not Even Close,” by Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway, which investigates how one of Facebook’s designated fact-checkers supposedly debunked claims related to an explosive video corroborating Republican charges of election fraud in Georgia.Moments before the post was published on Facebook however, the company released a notification to users that the post had been flagged for misinformation based on a supposed “fact-check” by one of its...

A Brit’s perspective of the turmoil festering in America – Author Unknown at this time This was written by a self-identified “outsider”. His perspective is well worth the time it takes to read this. OK, the first thing to say is to apologize for the sheer cheek of some upstart limey like me commenting on the election in America, but I have to say something because I am sitting here in shocked astonishment looking at what appears to be an engineered tyrannical coup d’état against not just President Trump but against the very ideal of democracy itself. I’m not going...
