Finally got to watch the final episode of Showtime's documentary on The Reagans. This time he's presented as a man who used the fools of the religious right as a voting and fundraising scheme by lying to them about wanting to repeal Roe v Wade. Not sure if that was a strategy he thought up on his own or if it was orchestrated by Nancy's astrologer, who also figures prominently in this episode. We also found out that he only approved of the Strategic Defense Initiative because it reminded him of a movie he was in and how one sentence...

Sen. Ted Cruz said on Monday he would make oral arguments to the Supreme Court should they agree to hear an appeal from Pennsylvania Republicans suing to flip their state's election results from Joe Biden to President Trump. "Because of the importance of the legal issues presented, I have publicly urged the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case brought by Congressman Mike Kelly, congressional candidate Sean Parnell, and state representative candidate Wanda Logan challenging the constitutionality of the presidential election results in Pennsylvania," Cruz said in a statement to the Washington Examiner, which was first reported by Fox News....

As most of California goes back under stay-at-home orders, the street artist Sabo is urging the recall of Gov. Gavin Newsom, calling the Democrat politician a “dirtbag” and a “crappy individual” for taking away people’s rights. In a video message obtained by Breitbart News, Sabo lashes out at Newsom and argues that lockdowns are all about controlling people and taking over the country. “It takes a special kind of dirtbag to shut down Southern California beaches on the fourth of July,” Sabo said. “And then to have the balls to try to dictate how many friends and family members you...

The filing was in response to a letter the federal Bureau of Prisons sent the judge, insisting that Maxwell is well cared for and has maintained a healthy...

Academic says Trump trade war cut off spies China influenced American policies for decades through a covert network of “old friends” — sympathizers and agents — who had penetrated the highest levels of the U.S. government and financial institutions before the Trump administration, according to an academic linked to the Chinese government. Di Dongsheng, a professor and associate dean of the School of International Studies at Renmin University in Beijing, also suggested in a Nov. 28 speech that China’s Communist Party helped Hunter Biden, a son of presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden, obtain Chinese business deals. On influencing the United...

Approximately 566,958 people voted absentee in Wayne County, where Detroit is located, in the 2020 general election. 2060 appear to have been dead.The Secretary of State published the data of who those specific people were, their home address, and their birthdate.The Gateway Pundit took that data, and ran it through a simple “deceased suppression” service provided for a fee by the Lorton Data Services company.The result was that 2,060 names came back as people who are recorded as having both been dead, and having submitted an absentee ballot.There may be errors in the data. There could be people with the...

How did @GoyaFoods, CEO Bob Unanue (ooh-NON-new-a) respond to AOC's threatened boycott of his delicious foods? Well, he named her "employee of the month" for helping increase sales. Interesting man, & unafraid to speak of faith, family & patriotism:

On November 16, several members of the MI State legislature sent a letter to Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson requesting that a full, independent audit of the accusations prior to the certification of the vote. This was after reviewing hundreds of sworn affidavits by GOP and Independent poll challengers and evidence of vote switching by Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan. The radical Secretary of State, who has a problem with telling the truth, ignored their request.On November 23, Matthew DePerno of DePerno Law Offices, LLC filed a lawsuit on behalf of Central Lake resident William Bailey,...

SYDNEY: Australia locked in plans on Tuesday to make Facebook Inc and Google pay its media outlets for news content, a world-first move aimed at protecting independent journalism that has drawn strong opposition from the internet giants. Under laws to be introduced to parliament on Wednesday, Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the Big Tech firms will have to negotiate how much they pay local publishers and broadcasters for content that appears on their platforms. If they cannot strike a deal, a government-appointed arbitrator will decide how much they will need to pay. "This is a huge reform, this is a world...

[Catholic Caucus] Viganò: Francis Uses Covid-19 "To Humiliate God"Like on Easter, Francis uses Covid-19 again to cancel Christmas and the December 8 veneration of the Immaculate on the Piazza di Spagna, Archbishop Viganò writes in a December 7 statement.For him, the "so-called ‘church’ of Bergoglio" closes churches and arrogates to itself a right to deny God public worship and to deprive the faithful of the Sacraments "through a wretched connivance with civil power.”Therefore - Viganò believes - the Bergoglio church "humiliates the Most Holy Trinity" by lowering it to the level of idols and demons with sacrilegious rituals of a...

Last week, a video was released from Georgia purporting to show partisan observers being told to leave the room, after which the remaining workers took out containers of votes and began to scan them. Gov. Kemp took it seriously enough to call for a signature audit in response. In what was a less than shocking development, those involved then decided to investigate themselves and have assured us that nothing untoward happened. That was enough for the media to start shouting from the roof-tops that the video had been “debunked.”Conservative commentator and Fox News personality Mollie Hemingway isn’t buying it. RedState’s...

A question that I have not yet seen posed directly, nor has there been any suggestion of an answer — obviously — is whether the FBI in Atlanta, working with the US Attorney in the Northern District of Georgia, has taken an interest in the individuals who were in the room where the surveillance video was recorded.My view of what has been happening in Georgia is that the “sound and fury” has all been behind the lawsuits filed by Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, while the Trump Campaign has more quietly pursued an “election contest” lawsuit filed last Friday in...

President Donald Trump told a Fox News reporter that he believes “the case” for election fraud “has been made” before the American people, and now it will be a process of prosecuting this case, apparently in state legislatures, courtrooms, and potentially before the Supreme Court of the United States.The Fox News reporter asked the president, “Are you looking to try to change the outcome of the election, or try to make a case to the American people that it wasn’t a fair election?”“Well I think case has already been made, if you look at the polls,” said the President, interjecting....

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s political alliance claimed a sweeping victory Monday in congressional elections boycotted by the most influential opposition politicians and widely criticized internationally as being fraudulent. The win gives Maduro control of the last major branch of government outside his grasp. It plays out in the waning days of the Trump administration, which leaves office with Maduro firmly entrenched despite its efforts to bring about his departure through diplomacy and sanctions. “We have recovered the National Assembly with the majority vote of the Venezuelan people,” Maduro said in a televised address. “It’s a great victory without a doubt...
