    Dominion Voting Systems offered to testify before the Michigan state Senate in an effort to debunk voter fraud allegations about its operations and voting machines. John Poulos, the CEO of the company, sent a letter to Senate Oversight Committee Chairman Ed McBroom, a Republican, on Wednesday, thanking him for offering the opportunity to have a company representative testify Tuesday or Wednesday about “the continuing malicious and widespread disinformation campaign” against Dominion, according to the missive, which was obtained by the Detroit Free Press. “I appreciate the opportunity to correct the baseless and defamatory claims being made about our systems. They...

    With Pennsylvania’s COVID-19-related deaths hitting their highest point in the last two days since the pandemic began and the number of new cases consistently topping 10,000 each day, Gov. Tom Wolf and state Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine are imploring the state’s residents to hit a three-week pause on certain activities. Among them, they are banning indoor dining at bars and restaurants, halting school sports and activities, and prohibiting entertainment venues such as casinos, theaters and bowling alleys from being open starting this Saturday until 8 a.m. on Jan. 4. Tom Wolf has now tested negative for the coronavirus following...

    Left-wing Hollywood celebrities are putting their star power behind the runoffs, with cast reunions of popular movies and TV shows helping to rake in the cash. The latest effort comes from Will Ferrell and Zooey Deschanel, who will lead a cast reunion of the 2003 movie Elf to raise money for Georgia Democrats. The livestream event, set for Sunday, will also feature Elf-costars Bob Newhart, Edward Asner, Mary Steenburgen, Amy Sedaris, Jon Favreau, and Andy Richter. Noticeably absent from the line-up is James Caan, who played Ferrell’s biological father in the original movie.

    ...I would go even further. If states are allowed to arbitrarily and capriciously change voting procedures in such a way that the vote can be manipulated to produce a particular result, do those states even meet the Constitutional requirement of having a “republican form of government?” What has been sort of surprising to me is that folks on the right who I generally respect are now lining up to belittle the case. Some have even gone so far as to declare the case is ridiculous and that this is nothing more than Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton trolling for a...

According to Hampden District Attorney spokesman Jim Leydon, on December 5, members of the District Attorney’s Hampden County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant of 29-year-old Julian Delgado’s home at 26 Columbia Terrace in Springfield for his alleged involvement in the distribution of cocaine. A prior motor vehicle stop led to the arrest of Delgado and yielded one kilogram of cocaine. After detectives searched...

    There is a COVID-19 virus; however, COVID is not more dangerous than all other flu-like viruses that impact the respiratory system. COVID-19 is very manageable and doesn’t carry a higher fatality rate. [Usefulness As A Narrative] Why is COVID-19 being disproportionately hyped as such a dangerous threat, when the reality of the statistical danger is intense level of hype?… That is the key question. The answer is… social changes under the guise of COVID-19 mitigation, are the entry point for the goals and aspirations of the political left on a national and global scale. COVID-19 is a virus, but also...

    Explanation: It's easy to get lost following the intricate looping filaments in this detailed image of supernova remnant Simeis 147. Also cataloged as Sharpless 2-240 it goes by the popular nickname, the Spaghetti Nebula. Seen toward the boundary of the constellations Taurus and Auriga, it covers nearly 3 degrees or 6 full moons on the sky. That's about 150 light-years at the stellar debris cloud's estimated distance of 3,000 light-years. This composite includes image data taken through narrow-band filters where reddish emission from ionized hydrogen atoms and doubly ionized oxygen atoms in faint blue-green hues trace the shocked, glowing gas....

    Prophecy Questions Blog ^ | December 12, 2020 | Charles S. Meek
    A tenet of Dispensationalist/Christian Zionist teaching is that 1948 marked the beginning of the end of the world. Hal Lindsey, John Hagee, Edgar Whisenant, Chuck Smith, and the rest of the rapture gang thought all prophecy would be fulfilled within a 40-year generation after 1948 (Matthew 24:34)―end of the world, rapture, the Parousia, etc. This is because a biblical generation is 40 years (Numbers 32:13; Job 42:16; Psalm 95:10; Matthew 1:17; 23:36; Hebrews 3:8-10). But 1988 came and went, proving them to be false prophets. This should be adequate proof that 1948 has nothing to do with Bible prophecy. Edgar...

    A South Texas Congressman has gotten several lawmakers to sign off on a letter asking President-elect Joe Biden to rescind border wall contracts and other aspects with the controversial 730-mile project started by the Trump administration, Border Report has learned. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, on Wednesday sent Biden a letter asking that the new administration rescind the national emergency declaration and reprogrammed funding; direct the Department of Justice to dismiss all condemnation suits; terminate for convenience all current and pending Army Corps of Engineer contracts; and rescind Homeland Security waiver authority relating to the construction of new border barriers.

    The Supreme Court said Thursday that federal agents can be forced to pay out of their own pocket for religious liberty violations. The decision allows three Muslim men to seek monetary damages from FBI agents who allegedly placed them on the no-fly list as retaliation for turning down requests to become informants. Justice Clarence Thomas delivered the opinion for a unanimous Court. "This is a good decision that makes it easier to hold the government accountable when it violates Americans' religious liberties," said Lori Windham of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which filed a brief supporting the plaintiffs.

    What role is Barack Obama playing in America’s election crisis? This is arguably the most underreported aspect of the extraordinary effort to take down Donald Trump and demolish America. The more you research this question, the more you realize: All roads lead to Barack Obama. In today’s Trumpet Brief, I want to spotlight just one of these roads. In his new book, A Promised Land, Barack Obama heaps praise on David Plouffe, his former campaign manager. Obama has publicly lauded Plouffe as the unsung hero and supreme architect of his presidential campaigns. Plouffe was the strategic mastermind behind Team Obama’s...

    Maggie Haberman is an America-hating liberal who works at The New York Times where she terrorizes the right half of our nation by obstructing our leadership and helping put targets on the backs of our private citizens. Maggie is paid handsomely for this work. Her leftist activism is of course executed under the banner of “impartial journalism” which, as noted many times in recent months, is a lie that deserves every shred of our focus because it incites and is at the heart of our nation’s ubiquitous disunity. If we can get our elected Republican officials to merely pick the...

    Those who have joined us in recent years have been spared something on this forum that was all too common for all too long: the dreaded “opus.” Sometimes shrill, sometimes plaintive, often quite lengthy, these were vanity posts explaining why the member was leaving FR. For the life of me I could never figure out why we were treated to these narcissistic rambles. Well, today I am 20 years on Free Republic, and this is my “no-pus,” because I’m not going anywhere.

    A U.S. government advisory panel endorsed widespread use of Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine Thursday, putting the country just one step away from launching an epic vaccination campaign against the outbreak that has killed close to 300,000 Americans. Shots could begin within days, depending on how quickly the Food and Drug Administration signs off, as expected, on the expert committee’s recommendation... Pfizer has said it will have about 25 million doses of the two-shot vaccine for the U.S. by the end of December. But initial supplies will be limited and reserved primarily for health care workers and nursing home residents, with other...

    Donald Trump's election as President in November of 2016 has been the most effective part of the ongoing revolt of the electorate against the Left/Media/Deep State political machine flunkies, technocrats, liars and cheats. One of the great accomplishments of the four years of President Trump's first term, has been to rip the mask off the Media, the tech giants, the deep state, and the Left, to show how they all work together to control the population through the control of information.They have ruled the United States, with minor interruptions, for at least 50 years. Their control is greatest in...
