  • Tuesday News Roundup: Emmet Sullivan is Still out of Control and Elon Musk Flees to Texas

    [Note: this post contains heavy video content.] I’m old enough to remember when a presidential pardon meant something. – But it obviously means nothing to corrupt federal judges like Emmet Sullivan, the presiding judge in the frame-up case against General Mike Flynn. Despite the full and complete pardon issued by President Donald Trump a couple of weeks ago, Sullivan has decided to keep his kangaroo court persecuting Flynn running, most likely in an attempt to force Sidney Powell to take time away from pursuing her challenges to the Democrat theft of the presidential election in various states. On Monday, Sullivan...

    The entire Promised Land Reset design will ultimately fail. Every morning, the news headlines read like the taxonomic description of a brand-new political phylum. Not only do we have the traditional clusters generic to abuse of power — intolerance of freedom, the criminal appropriation of the state by the latest oscillation of "woke" Davos robber barons and their ANTIFA-BLM thugs — but there has emerged an unprecedented efflorescence of hallucinatory, utopian "imagining." I pinch my arm in a worthless attempt to convince myself I am not stuck in a lurid, cyborg hot-house phantasma. This particular "Promised Land" ideology is altogether...

    Judging from the fake news media's collective primal scream this weekend, you would think the American economy were lying flat on its back in the intensive care unit. Yes, the economy has been battered in blue states that have masochistically shut down their hometown businesses. But in most red states that are keeping commerce flowing despite a second deadly wave of the virus, unemployment is typically below 6%. The jobs recovery has been so strong that we have 94.5% of the jobs we had before the worst pandemic in a century, and total wages and salaries are back up to...

    NEW ALEXANDRIA, Pennsylvania -- If you're not paying close attention, you can easily miss the dirt road that leads to the Flemings Christmas tree farm just off U.S. Route 22 in western Pennsylvania. The sign for the turnoff from the two-lane highway is covered in fresh snow, and within just a few feet along the narrow road, you enter a winter wonderland that curves along a steep mountain ridge. The scene soon becomes majestic as you find yourself surrounded in all directions by the tree-filled Laurel Mountains that make up this nearly century-old farm. At the very base of the...

    TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Monday raided the home of a former Department of Health data analyst who has been running an alternative website to the state’s coronavirus dashboard, alleging that she may have broken into a state email system and sent an unauthorized message to employees. But Rebekah Jones, who was was fired from her job in May as the geographic information system manager for health department’s Division of Disease Control and Health Protection and who has since filed a whistleblower complaint against the state, denied having any role in the alleged intrusion into the...

    NEW DELHI (AP) — Health officials and experts are still baffled by a mysterious illness that has left over 500 people hospitalized and one person dead in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. The illness was first detected Saturday evening in Eluru, an ancient city famous for its hand-woven products. People started convulsing without any warning, said Geeta Prasadini, the director of public health.

    Today could be the day, Folks. SCOTUS Judge Alito will hear and perhaps rule himself on the arguments regarding the thousands of mail in ballots in PA. It comes down to this, and only this: Millions of people voted for Trump. They went to the ballot box. They showed their ID, filled out a ballot and they signed it. These people were disenfranchised by millions of write in votes from people with no names no signatures no background nothing. That’s the whole thing in a nutshell. It’s got nothing to do with Trump, whether you are a democrat or republican,...

    ....Now, with mere weeks to go before the year changes, we have to confront an ugly truth. 2020 is just prelude to crises and conflicts to come. When they end, we cannot say. The 2020s may prove a troubled decade. I don’t pretend to have a crystal ball. But there are matters we can be sure of. One need only survey the scene -- the wreckage, really -- of 2020 to understand that America faces the gravest risks to its existence as a free and united country in 160 years. From the vantage point of 2019, had we been told...

    LOS ANGELES - With the coronavirus running rampant in Los Angeles and hospitals projected to overflow by Christmas, officials have fallen back on a familiar refrain: Stay home. Some 33 million Californians are now under a new regional stay-at-home order that began Sunday night, a last-ditch effort to turn the corner on an alarming rise in coronavirus cases statewide. The percentage of Angelenos staying home except for essential activities has remained unchanged since mid-June - around 55% - despite pleas from health officials in recent weeks for people to cut down on their activities, according to a survey conducted by...

    Irish Pride An Irishman moves to the USA & finally attends his first baseball game. The first batter approached the batters' box, took a few swings and then hits a double. Everyone was on their feet screaming "Run, Run". The next batter hits a single & the Irishman listened as the crowd again cheered "RUN, RUN"!! The Irishman enjoyed the game & began screaming with the fans. The fifth batter came up and four balls went by. The umpire called "walk" and the batter started his slow trot to first base. The Irishman stood up and screamed, "R-R-Run ye lazy...

    It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/opinion/covid-public-health-messaging.html NY Times says it is time to scare people about COVID. The propaganda machine will be heating up. We will see a barrage of images of people’s lungs, children who died of Coronavirus (extremely rare but anyway), and patients on ventilators. Each child who dies, regardless of what other circumstances led to it, will be shown at the age of 4 with their favorite stuffed animal. - The news is that there is no news. There was talk that Coronavirus laws would end after the election. Unfortunately that goes against the Democrat view that...

    I’ve always been interested in World War II, but really only the war in Europe. The war in the Pacific, though equally as important to world history, just never grabbed me. Maybe it’s because of the movies “Patton” and “Saving Private Ryan” and the lack of an equivalent movie in the other theater? I don’t really know why, it just is. The whole thing happened a lifetime before I was born, but something about it captured my imagination, which is how imagination works – you don’t have to have been a part of something for that something to be a...

    NEW YORK - Clarence Hamer doesn’t expect to hang on to his house much longer. His downstairs tenant owes him nearly $50,000 in back rent on the four-bedroom duplex in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Without those rental payments, Hamer has been unable to pay the thousands he owes in heat, hot water and property taxes. In September, after exhausting his life savings, he stopped paying the mortgage, too. “I don’t have any corporate backing or any other type of insurance,” said Hamer, a 46-year-old landlord who works for the city of New York. “All I have is my home, and it seems...

An exclusive report detailing the alleged work of Chinese national Fang Fang, or Christine Fang, was published by Axios. Fang reportedly targeted budding politicians, including a US congressman, in California's Bay Area and across the county from 2011 to 2015.

    My top five incontrovertible truths of the 21st century…so far:1. 9/11 was NOT an “inside” job regardless of what Rosie the physicist thinks.2. Prior to COVID-19 lockdowns anthropogenic global warming was the biggest hoax of the century (bonus points for explaining - if I may deploy a liberal semantic - their ‘intersectionality’).Michael Mann’s completely discredited (debunked) hockey stick graph “proving” global warming3. China purposefully unleashed the Wuhan murder virus on the world (again, bonus points for ‘intersectionality’ interpretations and extrapolations).4. The 2020 presidential election ‘results’ are based on fraud (need I remind you of the bonus points?).Late election night curve...

    A man shot at Peachtree City first responders Tuesday morning, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding and nobody got hurt or even arrested. Here’s the story as told by the department’s Facebook page: “On the morning of December 1st, Peachtree City PD received a welfare check request from the daughter of an 83-year-old man that lives in the Hampton Green neighborhood. [That’s off Braelinn Road and Peachtree Parkway in south Peachtree City.] “The daughter, who lives out of state, explained that her father has been ill and she has been unable to reach him for three days —...

    Question: What book is the opposite of the left? Answer: the Torah. The Torah is the Hebrew name of the first five books of the Bible, the "Five Books of Moses." The Torah is the foundation of the rest of the Bible and the rock on which both Judaism and Christianity stand. No Torah, no Judaism. No Torah, no Christianity. No Torah, no God, no divine creation, no Exodus, no Ten Commandments, no "love your neighbor as yourself," no Judeo-Christian values, no Western civilization and no America. As I am about to finish the third volume of my five-volume commentary...
