MSNBC’S STEPHANIE RUHLE: “Another state being hit hard, my home state of New Jersey. It recorded more than 6,000 cases for the first time yesterday. The governor of New Jersey, Democrat Phil Murphy, joins us now. Governor, thank you for joining me. You know, I have to ask you about this party. The New York young Republicans couldn’t hold an event in New York, because the rules wouldn’t permit it, but they held a gala here in our state....

KATHMANDU — Mount Everest is higher than previously thought, Nepal and China said on Tuesday, settling a long-running conflict over the height of the world’s tallest peak that straddles their shared border. Kathmandu and Beijing had differed over its exact height but after each sent an expedition of surveyors to the summit they have agreed that the official height is 8,848.86 metres (29,031.69 feet), a bit more than their previous calculations. Everest is an “eternal symbol of … friendship between Nepal and China,” said Nepali Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali, announcing the findings of their surveys on a video call...

China's economy is roaring back as Americans gobble up everything from its cellphones to its health masks, raising the stakes for trade relations with the United States as President-elect [nope] Joe Biden gets set to take over. Data on Monday showed China notched a record $75.4 billion trade surplus in November after exports from China to the rest of the world jumped 21.1% compared to a year ago. Much of the increase was driven by a 46% jump in exports to the United States – despite tariffs imposed by President Trump that have contributed to the worst relations between the...

A New York Supreme Court justice said that election officials have found 12 uncounted ballots in a drawer that could affect a race where the GOP congressional candidate holds a slim 12-vote lead. “WOW: Justice DelConte casually mentions an additional 12 ballots were found in Chenango County in a drawer last week,” said local CBS reporter Josh Rosenblatt on Twitter. “This is on top of the 55 ballots I reported were found last week, now making it 67 found ballots.” Of the 55 uncounted ballots found last week, 11 were found to have been cast by unregistered voters. The news...

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. “My message couldn’t be simpler: It’s time to hunker down. It’s time to cancel everything,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said last week. “If you’re able to stay home, 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 blunt messaging worked to bend the curve in the spring, when fear...

The US suffered its deadliest week from the coronavirus pandemic last week — and it’s only going to get worse, numerous experts have warned. Data from Johns Hopkins University shows that 15,658 Americans died over the last seven days — in what the university says is a new record surpassing even the initial peak in April.

The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution. Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were...

by Laurie AzgardBrian D. Hill of USWGO alternative news had filed an appeal brief in his federal criminal case, challenging U.S. District Court tyrant judge Adolf Thomas David Schroeder claiming that all affidavits, witnesses, evidence, and testimony in support of Brian’s claims of fraud upon the court against AUSA Ramaswamy are all “meritless”. How are all affidavits, witnesses, and witnesses without cross examination meritless????The attacks against Brian and his entire family cannot be coincidental, the corrupt NAZI-type-tyrant U.S. Court of Appeals judges, and the constant lying and backlashes by U.S. Chief Judge Thomas David Schroeder for the “Middle District of...

The left-wing New York Times admitted that the “Joe from Scranton” image that the liberal media was peddling for former Vice President Joe Biden was basically dismissed by the working class. A new “economic analysis” cited by The Times revealed politically devastating news for the Democratic Party: “Of the 265 counties most dominated by blue-collar workers — areas where at least 40 percent of employed adults have jobs in construction, the service industry or other nonprofessional fields — Mr. Biden won just 15.” To put this into context, “Mr. Biden fared worse than Mrs. Clinton in 2016 and Barack Obama...

A lot of historical ebooks. Some free, and some "to borrow" ebooks on Stonewall Jackson . Get them before the Commies have them cancelled. (I recommend the .pdf formats.) PDF formats seem to have fewer issues as far as optical character recognition errors.

Many cases regarding November’s election results have been winding their way through the courts and although most have not been decided in President Trump’s favor so far, Sidney Powell predicted tonight when speaking with Greg Kelly on Newsmax that the fight is far from over. “There should be at least 3 states in front of the Supreme Court with enough electoral votes to change the outcome before the end of the week,” Powell claimed. Powell shared another clip of the interview on Twitter which gave information on how to get in touch with her and help out the cause. “Discussing...

“I drove thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.” When I heard the above statement this week from Jesse Morgan as he testified before President Trump’s legal team investigating the widespread frauds in the 2020 general elections, it was an “a-hah! moment” for me. I live in Queens County in New York City, about 10 minutes outside Jamaica. My zip code actually falls within Jamaica town. My apartment complex is a post-World War II red brick six-story building. It was completed in 1946 and has been occupied continuously ever since. But because it’s been well-maintained, it still retains its...

There is no question that our most essential freedoms are under attack here in America. And there is no question that elements on the left want to silence the Church. There is also no question that many believers in America have already suffered some levels of persecution. Some have been defamed, or lost jobs, or been put out of educational programs, or even going to jail. But let’s not have that pity party quite yet. Believers around the world are going through persecution for the gospel on a whole another level. May their courage inspire us. Last Thursday I received...

Some Chinese researchers have recently sounded the alarm on China’s declining birth rate, aging population, and severe gender imbalance, as the skewed demographics are set to exacerbate social problems. The irregularities are an after-effect of the Chinese regime’s one-child policy. Introduced in 1979, the restriction was implemented as part of population control measures as Beijing became worried about the rapidly growing population putting a strain on the country’s resources. Due to the preference of males over females in Chinese culture, especially in rural areas where men can contribute manual labor, many families chose to abort or abandon female newborns. This...

On Monday, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Jenna Ellis predicted that legislatures in four key swing states would reverse their certifications of 2020 election results showing Joe Biden prevailing over Trump, exercising their authority to change the way electors in the Electoral College are apportioned and handing the president the election. This legislative approach represents another facet of the Trump team’s push to reverse the allegedly tainted results. “We do have the parallel paths. We are continuing on in the judiciary and I do anticipate that we will get to the Supreme Court,” Ellis told Fox Business’s Charles Payne. The...

During a White House ceremony Monday to award the Medal of Freedom to wrestling legend Dan Gable, ​President Trump jokingly challenged the Olympic gold medalist to a match, asking, “Think I could take you?” Trump awarded Gable the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest honor, for his wrestling accomplishments.. The president noted the hall of fame grappler’s remarkable record of 64 wins in high school, 117​-1 record ​at Iowa State and his winning ​six ​matches in the Olympics and playfully questioned whether he would pin Gable. “Now I’m larger than you a little bit. You think I could take...

The Food and Drug Administration says that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is safe and effective. Their analysis finds “no specific safety concerns identified that would preclude issuance of an [emergency use authorization].” FDA approval of the vaccine is expected within days.President Trump has praised the unprecedented speed at which vaccine development has occurred with the assistance of his administration. “No medical breakthrough of this scope and magnitude has ever been achieved this rapidly, this quickly. And we’re very proud of it,” Trump said during remarks at the Rose Garden back in November. “Operation Warp Speed is unequaled and unrivaled anywhere in...

Our form of government provides that citizens are lawfully allowed to vote for any candidate in whom they so choose. This unique system saw millions of Americans vote for whomever they wanted and for an array of reasons. Millions of Americans voted for Donald Trump to once again be president. They did this not because they particularly liked the man, although some did, but because they enjoyed the direction in which the country moved. These Americans appreciated high employment numbers, lower gas prices, more stability in the Middle East, etc. Then millions of Americans voted for Joe Biden to be...
