The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously rejected an appeal by the Trump campaign late last night of its earlier and comprehensive loss on the merits of their claims of massive fraud in the 2020 election. The court found that the campaign’s appeal identified no errors or new facts to warrant reconsideration of Judge James Russell’s fact-finding or legal reasoning:The Nevada Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Tuesday night to reject an appeal from President Trump’s campaign to overturn the state’s election results, the latest loss in the president’s ongoing legal efforts to...

A 10-year plan presented last week to the federal Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee... calls for the Department of Energy (DOE), the main sponsor of U.S. fusion research, to prepare to build a prototype power plant in the 2040s that would produce carbon-free electricity by harnessing the nuclear process that powers the Sun. The plan formalizes a goal set out 2 years ago by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and embraced in a March report from a 15-month-long fusion community planning process. It also represents a subtle but crucial shift from the basic research that officials in...

No Bread, No Circuses, No ProblemIt’s not a coincidence that America’s Founders met in taverns, or that our current ruling class is closing them down. They want us cowed.This year has been extraordinary. Americans have been ordered to lockdown, mask up, stay at home, avoid their loved ones, and otherwise suffer in the vain hope of controlling the coronavirus. The fruit of these efforts has been mostly needless suffering. When core freedoms were infringed, millions thrown out of work, and government power multiplied, things remained orderly. Other than a few mask protests in Michigan earlier in the year, and a...

Breaking news – Daily Mail reports that at least four individuals contracted Bell’s Palsy after taking Pfizer’s COVID-19 Vaccine. Relations between Pfizer and China also in question.The vaccine business is big money for Big Pharma – the large corporations that benefit from the production of vaccines. This was summarized by Bobby Kennedy, Jr. months ago as he listed the protections these companies receive from the US government (similar in the manner Big Tech is protected):UNBELIEVABLE: In New Interview Bobby Kennedy Jr. Claims Dr. Fauci will Make Millions on Coronavirus Vaccine and Owns Half the PatentThe list of side effects from...

JK Rowling has called for an end to the 'climate of fear' around the trans debate after being sent 'heart-breaking' letters from women who had irreversible gender reassignment surgery. The Harry Potter author, 55, said she 'had a huge postbag' with hundreds of letters following her comments over the summer, adding that 90 per cent of them were in support of her stance. She told Good Housekeeping magazine: 'Many women are concerned about the challenges to their fundamental rights posed by certain aspects of gender identity ideology.' It comes after Keira Bell, 23, brought legal action against the Tavistock and...

Greg Teufel, the attorney for Republican Sean Parnell in his Supreme Court case in Pennsylvania, joined National Report on Newsmax on Wednesday morning to discuss his client’s case and the upcoming Texas SCOTUS case. Greg Teufel had this to say about the Texas Supreme Court case, “That’s an interesting case… In this case they’re not appealing any court below. They’re seeking to start their case in the Supreme Court. It’s still discretionary on the court’s part on whether it takes the case. It appears they (SCOTUS) have as you reported, they ordered a response. That doesn’t necessarily say they are...

Shark Tank star and businessman Kevin O’Leary ripped apart the draconian economic lockdowns states have inflicted on the American restaurant industry in response to the pandemic. During the Dec. 7 edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, co-host Joe Kernen asked O’Leary if it was “possible to thread the needle” between “total lockdowns” and protecting the “vulnerable, because the cure” could be “as bad as the disease.” O’Leary didn’t hold back his frustration against what these orders have done to food service businesses where he holds shares, specifically in Los Angeles, California. O’Leary’s critique — in a nutshell — centered on the...

The Big Apple turned into a rotten fruit that spoiled the Wall Street bunch. It turns out that Wall Street could star in the next reboot of Escape From New York as Goldman Sachs has reportedly joined the exodus of companies potentially fleeing The City That Never Sleeps for sunshine and tax advantages. Bloomberg News broke the story that the financial titan is considering relocating its $8 billion management arm to either Palm Beach County or Fort Lauderdale as it researches real estate spots and engages with local Florida officials about tax benefits. Could Wall Street 2.0 form in the...

"This is madness. We have a process, recounts are appropriate, going to the court is approp & pursuing every legal avenue is appropriate, but trying to get electors not to do what the people voted to do is madness," Frank Thorp V of NBC News quoted Romney as saying. A representative for Romney confirmed his statement to Business Insider. President Donald Trump's campaign and some allied Republicans have waged lawsuits in multiple states seeking to overturn the 2020 election results. President-elect Joe Biden's victory became clear days after Election Day, but Trump has yet to concede.

Sometimes, at the card table, an experienced poker player can read an opponent's hand by means of a "tell." Some players give obvious visual clues as to whether or not they are bluffing or holding good cards. In 2012, I recall David Axelrod, a Red Diaper Baby, and faux journalist who became a political operative and campaign manager, use the phrase "The cake is baked" to describe the likely outcome of the presidential election between Obama and Romney. In 2020, several leftist activists such as George Clooney and George Conway have used the same words. I have interpreted "the cake...

YouTube said Wednesday it will start removing any content uploaded to its platform that contains allegations of widespread fraud or errors in the 2020 presidential election after Tuesday's so-called safe harbor deadline that essentially locked in President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. The deadline marked the date by which all states are required to have resolved any election-related disputes. President Trump, however, has not conceded in the race, even as state officials have certified their election results showing Biden has the Electoral College votes to be the 46th president. In a blog post, YouTube said content “that misleads people by alleging that...

Before Nov. 3, neither OAN nor Newsmax could come anywhere close to matching, or surpassing, the ratings from America's reigning king of cable: Fox News, the conservative-leaning news and opinion network that helped cultivate the base of GOP voters which Trump rallied to victory in 2016, has finally lost its crown.According to media reports, Newsmax beat Fox News among the coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic for the first time ever on Monday evening. The ratings win comes amid a breakthrough in the Trump Administration's push to challenge the election results in the court of public opinion to try and "delegitimize"...

Former Obama administration Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan lies. He doesn’t just lie in the sense of speaking hyperbolically, spinning events, or painting in shades of gray out of purported fealty to national security considerations. Brennan tells outright falsehoods, in venues from television studios to Congress, on matters of utmost importance.One must ask: Why does corporate media continue to give someone who has proved to be a uniquely deceptive character, whose most noteworthy activity since leaving government has been spewing invective against the president on Twitter, valuable airtime?Brennan Lies About RussiagateIn his latest public display of dishonesty, Brennan took...

As serious questions surrounding the tabulation process in Fulton County, Georgia, remain unanswered, officials in that county are slow walking critical documents to kill the clock.............. In a stunningly transparent and disingenuous effort to run out the clock on any challenge to the 2020 General Election, the attorney for Fulton County, Georgia informed an open records petitioner that no information would be available until 24 hours before the January 20, 2021 Presidential Inauguration. A local news media organization, The Georgia Star News, filed an open records request on December 1, 2020 requesting all ballot transfer records for the November 3,...

In Venezuela, Ana Mercedes Díaz was appointed deputy director general of the country’s National Electoral Council in 1991. Díaz was fired in 2004 after she published information on electoral fraud occurring in Venezuela’s referendum. She said that what’s happening in the United States mirrors the issues with Smartmatic in Venezuela. Díaz later emigrated to the United States. Since Venezuela’s 2004 referendum until his death in 2013, Chávez won all of the country’s elections through a “fraudulent system,” she said. Díaz noted other parallels and similarities between issues in this year’s election and what she saw in Venezuela. Many American poll...

A massive lawsuit from President Donald Trump lays out tens of thousands of illegal votes for Joe Biden — well beyond the 11,779 vote margin. The lawsuit was filed on Friday, but had to be refiled after the Fulton County Superior Court rejected it on Monday due to incorrect paperwork and missing filing fees. Both issues have now been corrected. Some of the highlights of the 1,585 page suit include 2,560 felons who voted, 66,247 underage voters, and 2,423 votes from people who were not registered. The lawsuit additionally lists 1,043 individuals registered at PO boxes, 4,926 individuals who voted...

In the early 19th century, Texas was frontier and a land of great opportunity and promise. It was also a magnet for folks who wanted (or needed) to leave Europe or the United States behind and start fresh. As the exhibit I co-wrote and produced for the Alamo in 2017 attested, Jim Bowie himself was but one of many who moved into Texas for fortune, glory, and to escape things that may be best left behind. When people left their homes and headed west to the Texas frontier, they’d often leave a simple carving in a prominent tree or another...
