Is it just me or does anyone else feel themselves in a state of suspended animation? Like in Sleeper where Miles Monroe, the amateur clarinetist and fulltime neurotic, wakes up in the 22nd century from a 200-year bout of suspended animation to discover America has turned into a totalitarian police state. Hijinks ensue.Miles: What kind of government you guys got here? This is worse than California! The majority of society is comprised of conformists who look to The Leader for direction and guidance. But a band of underground anti-government radicals resuscitate Miles in hopes that – because he doesn’t exist...

Attorney and longtime critic of President Donald Trump George Conway declared Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that President Donald Trump has lost the 2020 election. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “How long can Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy and Roy Blunt deny reality? I expect that President Trump will deny reality the rest of his life, but how long can Republican leaders do it?”

Democrats have every intention of pursuing investigations into President Trump and his administration even after he leaves office, CNN reports. According to the network, some lawmakers have expressed interest in continuing the witch hunt against the President. “They [Democrats] argue they have an obligation to scrutinize the actions of Trump and his administration that they charge violated constitutional norms and eroded the separation of powers,” the report states. There are also multiple ongoing lawsuits according to CNN, “including efforts to obtain Trump’s tax returns, key financial documents, testimony from a former White House counsel and grand jury material from the...

Corrupt federal judge Emmet Sullivan finally, at long last, dismissed the frame-up case against General Mike Flynn, but not before he had compiled and submitted a petulant, 42-page rant smearing the General one last time. Because that’s the kind of raging asshat Emmet Sullivan truly is. “The history of the Constitution, its structure, and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the pardon power make clear that President Trump’s decision to pardon Mr. Flynn is a political decision, not a legal one,” Sullivan said in his Tuesday order. “Because the law recognizes the President’s political power to pardon, the appropriate course is...

As President Donald Trump prepares to pardon those unfairly targeted by James Comey, the president should include Martha Stewart on the list.In 2018, news broke that President Donald Trump was considering commuting the sentence of disgraced former Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich and a pardon for Martha Stewart after granting one to conservative pundit Dinesh D’Souza.Two years later, D’Souza was exonerated, the governor’s sentence was commuted, and Stewart remains the only one out of the three to have secured no form of clemency. Yet reasons remain abundant for why Stewart, released from federal prison 15 years ago, remains even more...

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration dove back into Capitol Hill’s confusing COVID-19 negotiations on Tuesday, offering a $916 billion package to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that would send a $600 direct payment to most Americans — but eliminate a $300 per week employment benefit favored by a bipartisan group of Senate negotiators.

Very few of the lawsuits that Trump’s legal team has filed since Election Day have really worried the left, but when Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit directly with the Supreme Court on Monday night they immediately began freaking out. The reason why they are so alarmed is because they understand that this suit has the potential to flip the election. The suit alleges that the states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin conducted their elections in ways that violated the U.S. Constitution, and if the Supreme Court agrees that would almost certainly mean that the Supreme Court...

A public school in San Antonio recently distributed a homework assignment to 7 & 8 year old children with what appears to be a liberal political message. The homework assignment (shown below) asks students to write down the name of the current US President on a fill-in quiz sheet. Joe Biden is listed as one of the options at the bottom of the page but the name of Donald Trump, our current US President, is missing. Obviously this is a false statement that appears to have an underlying political agenda. President Trump's legal team is still challenging the election results...

This low IQ State Michigan Representative that does not undertand their is the 1st Amendemnet. People have a Right to a political opininon. She went online and threatened Trump supporters, and is encouraging physcially attacks. https://twitter.com/UncleGulag/status/1336531504869076993

With all the screaming about "Big Tech," "The Masters of the Universe," "Silicon Valley," and so on, it's time to sort out the signal from the noise. President Trump wants to get rid of Google's, Facebook's, and Twitter's immunity from prosecution for its blatant censorship of conservative voices. Democrats want the censoring strengthened. And some argue that there should be no changes, since without CDA 230, we would not have the internet as we know it. CDA 230? What's so important that it has to be hidden behind this abbreviation? Communications Decency Act Section 230 says (emphasis added): No provider...

The terrorist who beheaded a French school teacher near Paris for showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to his class has been given a hero's funeral in his native Chechnya. Footage shows mourners at the ceremony for Abdullakh Anzorov, 18, in his native village of Shalazi in the oil-rich Russian region. The body of the killer who decapitated teacher Samuel Paty, and was lauded as a 'lion of Islam' at his funeral, had been returned from France on Saturday. Anzorov was shot dead by French police minutes after the beheading in the Paris suburbs on October 16. Some 200 people...

The Katsina State House of Assembly has passed a bill to protect children from abuse, but says the legislation will not regulate the age of marriage. The decision means although the Child Right Protection Bill defines a child as a person below the age of 18, people who should by that definition be considered underage can still marry. In what appears a contradiction, the sponsors of the bill say it is meant to guarantee children’s right to education and check underage marriage, cruelty and sexual assault against children. The House Committee chairman on the Child Protection Bill, Musa Nuhu, while...

Police discovered 30 half-naked illegal immigrants held by cartels in a Houston house last week. The house’s captives included 29 men and one woman. Investigators said most of the people came from Cuba, Central America and Mexico. On Thursday, one man wearing only underwear escaped the house and ran through the street, shouting that he had been kidnapped, according to Telemundo. Cartels often take the clothes of people they traffic as a control technique, Pastor Robert Sanchez told The Christian Post. Sanchez leads El Tabernaculo Church near the border and often works to help illegal immigrants trafficked by the cartels....

Every time I read an op-ed piece from some English professor (and isn’t it always an English professor?) whining about the demise of the humanities, in The Chronicle of Higher Education or elsewhere, I’m reminded of that great scene from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. You know the one. As Anakin Skywalker and his erstwhile friend and mentor turned mortal enemy Obi-Wan Kenobi engage in an epic lightsaber duel, Anakin accuses Obi-Wan of being responsible for the recent disasters in his life, including the loss of his beloved Princess Padme. Obi-Wan regards Anakin stoically then delivers one...

How do you fight an obvious election fraud? It's a matter of political will. Who has the strongest killer instinct? That's really what it all comes down to. Never mind the fancy legal arguments; don't bother learning the tortuous logic of constitutional law. This is a rough-and-tumble battle, a street fight. The forces arrayed against Trump and his supporters are awesome, possibly insurmountable. The various mainstream media are telling everyone that the election is over, and that anyone saying otherwise is indulging in baseless conspiracy theories. Silicon Valley has been aggressively censoring any news item or video that purports to...

3 Nigerian Christians killed trying to save their village from radical Fulani militants Three Nigerian Christians were murdered Tuesday while fending off an armed attack by suspected Fulani militants who are also believed to have kidnapped a woman. A peaceful night turned violent when armed extremists, believed to be affiliated with a Fulani tribe, fired their guns at the Christian village of Gura-Pwana, south of the Nigerian city of Jos, said Swanta Kumai in an interview with the Emancipation Center for Crisis Victims in Nigeria. The gunfire woke his 28-year-old son, Joseph Swanta, from his sleep. Together, they rushed from...

It's been over a month since the election, and all is not well in Mudville. The home team fights round the clock to prove that the challenger cheated, and the challenger makes no effort to calm fears or address concerns — just continues naming cronies and planning not just to take over the ballpark, but to change the rules for the entire sport. For those who care, the internet still exists, and there are more sites than Twitter, Facebook and news services out there where the truth actually matters. So why does anyone have to search for the truth? Investigations...
