While promising to crack down on election misinformation on its platform and labeling a large number of President Donald Trump’s posts, Twitter allowed misinformation about Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) to spread virally across its platform freely.Social media giant Twitter has promised to make many efforts to prevent the spread of misinformation on its platform.

GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy this week said Democrat Rep Eric Swalwell should be removed from the House Intel Committee and ultimately removed from Congress over his ties to Chinese Communist spy and honeypot Fang Fang. Earlier this week Axios reported that a Chinese spy raised money for Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA) and planted an “intern” in his congressional office. A Chinese national named Fang Fang, AKA, Christine Fang targeted politicians in California between 2011 and 2015 at the direction of China’s internal spy agency and even had intimate relationships with two Midwestern mayors. Fang was a “bundler” for...

One of the amazing attorneys who’s been fighting with me and for me for years on Seth Rich has finally been able to levy the FBI into admitting what they’ve refused to admit for four years. Through emails today, the FBI has now admitted the following: After three years of claiming that it could not find any records about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, the FBI admitted today that it has thousands of pages of information about him, further admitting that it has custody of his laptop. So what changed between then and now? Here’s an excerpt from...

California Rep. Eric Swalwell reacted predictably to the story about him being compromised by a “honeypot” sent by Beijing to spy on up-and-coming officials.He blamed Trump.I am not kidding. This revelation should humiliate him more than his bout with on-air flatulence, but he’s determined to simply deflect blame. In a cringe-worthy interview with Politico, he said he’d been targeted in the media — the spy story was broken by left-leaning Axios — because of his criticism of Trump. (Right.) “I’ve been a critic of the President,” he said. “… I was on both committees that worked to impeach him. The...

The Marine Corps is conducting random drug testing at one base in North Carolina because of reports that personnel there are using the hallucinogenic drug lysergic acid diethylamide, better known as LSD. The 2nd Marine Division in Jacksonville, North Carolina, has conducted nearly 4,000 random tests for LSD since the start of the summer. Maj. Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the division commander, said the recent rise in LSD use among sailors and Marines on the base has prompted them to change how they test for illegal substances. In the past, the Department of Defense drug lab only accepted individual samples...

Outrageous – simply outrageous. How can the good people of Georgia take it? Corrupt Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is not willing to go in front of the Georgia legislature to testify about his actions in this year’s corrupted election in Georgia, but he is able to initiate an investigation into a county which uncovered issues with the Dominion voting machines. This morning we reported that the Georgia Secretary of State, Raffensperger won’t testify in front of the Georgia legislature today: However, Raffensperger is willing to go after a county in Georgia which uncovered major issues with the Dominion...

Ellen DeGeneres has tested positive for COVID-19. The embattled talk show host, 62, shared the news Thursday via Twitter. “Fortunately, I’m feeling fine right now,” she wrote. “Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified, and I am following all proper guidelines. I’ll see you all again after the holidays. Please stay healthy and safe. Love, Ellen.” The reveal comes one day after BuzzFeed’s latest exposé on the host and her daytime series, which has reportedly suffered a dip in ratings, sponsors and support from A-listers following this summer’s accusations of a “toxic” workplace.

Coffee County election officials refused to certify the electronic recount earlier this week, citing irreconcilable anomalies with the voting machine results in a letter to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. In the letter, the Coffee County Board of Elections and Registration stated that the electronic recount was unable to repeat duplicate, credible results. “Any system, financial, voting, or otherwise, that is not repeatable nor dependable should not be used. To demand certification of patently inaccurate results neither serves the objective of the electoral system nor satisfies the legal obligation to certify the electronic recount,” the letter says. The board noted...

The Narimasu Library in Itabashi, north of Tokyo, has had a machine installed since 2018 but the facility’s manager said that it is now being used three times as much.

@RandPaulI'll soon be speaking on the floor about our America's endless war.. Today, the subject is war powers. The hawks and neocons somehow want you to believe, in contrast to all logic, that the President of the United States has the unitary power to go to war anytime he wants, anywhere, free from interference from Congress. Yet, they now say a President cannot LEAVE a war without their permission. How absurd is that? It’s exactly the opposite of what both the constitution and logic would dictate. Effectively, these neocons put forth a belief that the commander in chief has virtually...

Russians are marveling at American Bolshevism on full display on our college campuses. Lilia Kim is one Russian expat who lives in Los Angeles and has observed the retro communism fan boys and girls at close range. It scares her. She wrote a post recently that has gone viral on the subject. The post is translated below (not the best translation) and the original in Russian is here. The comments are epic. https://www.facebook.com/lilya.kim/posts/1615663161968657 In short, beware of what you wish for, because you just might get it, and it is deadly.
