Washington (CNN)Congressional Republican leaders rejected a resolution that asserted that Joe Biden is president-elect, the latest effort by the Hill GOP to refuse to accept the election results even though it's been clear for weeks that President Donald Trump lost. The rejection came Tuesday in a private meeting after House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer offered a motion to affirm that it is preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Rules Committee Chairman Roy Blunt of Missouri voted with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy in blocking the motion, effectively...

A Nevada hospital has resorted to treating coronavirus patients in its parking garage — as hospitalizations soar in the state.

Republican members of the Arizona State Legislature had an election integrity hearing on Nov. 30 that included President Donald Trump’s lawyers Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani, Ellis, and others held a hearing in front of Pennsylvania State Republican senators on earlier, where they argued that the state legislature should take steps to reclaim the ability to appoint electors to the Electoral College. Witnesses who claimed they saw allegedly illegal or irregular vote-tabulation efforts in the Keystone State also offered statements. According to GOP members of the Arizona State Legislature, the hearing is designed “to gather the evidence that justifies...

============================================================== Little-understood black hole phenomena could be string-theory "fuzzballs," scientists say. The math is still emerging, but the right instruments could maybe detect the fuzzballs. Black holes are enigmatic and require a different kind of thinking in the first place. ============================================================ What if string theorists have been right all along, and black holes are just balls of yarn? These celestial rat kings, scientists say, represent a place where a huge bunch of fundamental strings have tangled together and can’t be extricated. This sounds far out, but we don’t understand a great deal about how black holes work to begin with....

HOUSTON — Edward O’Neal was 18 when he first made headlines in 2016 as an alleged devil worshipper charged with murder. Now, O’Neal is in the news again because he’s accused of committing another murder while out on bond for the first case.

More than a quarter of this censorship occurred between November 30 and December 7. A fresh study into Twitter’s mass censorship of President Trump over the last couple of years has revealed that tweets from Trump and his campaign have been restricted a staggering 436 times between May 31, 2018 and December 7, 2020. The study was conducted by media watchdog Media Research Center (MRC) and found that 111 of these censored tweets (around 25% of the total tweets) were flagged between November 30, 2020 and December 7, 2020. Some of the labeled tweets were simply live streams of Trump’s...

@paulsperry_ BREAKING: FEC records show fired FBI Director James Comey's wife Patrice last year gave at least $10,000 to Stacey Abrams' PAC which financed Abrams' campaign to change voting rules and regs in George and several other swing states, including Democrats' mass mail-in voting scheme

Many people in the UK are fearful of the imposition of WTO-allowed tariffs on future UK exports to the EU. As an American, this is somewhat of a mystery as American exports to the EU are already subject to EU-imposed WTO-level tariffs. There is no audible bellyaching whatsoever in the USA about EU-imposed WTO-level tariffs on American exports to the EU. To allay UK fears, I wish to point out that the effect of EU tariffs on the incomes of UK citizens could be offset by UK Treasury compensatory payments to impacted UK citizens paid out when they retire, financially...

Three organizations representing nearly 700 Pennsylvania’s nursing homes are suing Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration in what they term is a fight for some of the facilities’ survival and to protect their residents and staff against the coronavirus. The lawsuit filed on Monday in Commonwealth Court demands the administration direct the more than $153 million allocated to Pennsylvania through the first federal stimulus package, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, to these health providers that care for tens of thousands of the state’s older and vulnerable residents. In Pennsylvania, the state Department of Health reported on Tuesday there are 40,541 resident...

I wish every American could attend a Trump rally. I attended a couple of them in Central Florida as a local media personality, but the Valdosta rally was the first time I got to hang around with with my people in the crowd. It was one of the most exciting and unique experiences you can imagine. Here’s what happened: On Sunday afternoon a friend of mine joined my wife and I on a road trip to Valdosta, Georgia, for the Victory Rally, featuring President Trump and Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Both senators are in runoff elections against...

-- With numerous cruise lines suspending their 2021 seasons into spring – and in some cases, beyond -- is it possible that the companies are simply waiting to restart operations until a COVID-19 vaccine is widely available? It's a plausible theory, although no cruise line executive has said that publicly. As of early December, numerous lines have cancelled voyages into March and April, while some have postponed sailings into June and even the fall for select vessels. While the lines have cited the restart regulations put forward by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the reason for...
