The 2020 mess of an election has highlighted the tremendous impact that faulty elections in one state can have on the country as a whole. It’s wasn’t until we were 244 years into it that we realized that our country desperately needs federal election regulation reform.The truth is that country-wide popular elections are a modern advent. Our country started out with mostly legislative selection of electors. In our nation’s first presidential election, six of the 10 states appointed electors by direct legislative appointment, without holding popular elections. In the second presidential election, nine of the 15 states did the same....

Los Angeles’ newly elected district attorney, George Gascon, has a plan for ensuring compliance with the county’s draconian stay-at-home orders: make the city so dangerous that Angelenos will be terrified to step outside. Gascon belongs to a wave of well-funded left-wing prosecutors who have come to office promising to eliminate racial disparities in the criminal-justice system. They are doing so by eliminating key components of the criminal-justice system itself. Gascon’s office will no longer prosecute a wide range of misdemeanor offenses. They include: Trespass. Los Angeles streets, in all but its wealthiest neighborhoods, are already overrun by squalid encampments. Business...

It’s just the flu, bro. Just a friendly reminder of the following chain of events which were predicted by several Flubros (I can’t remember who, but it happened): 1.Coronavirus scam 2.Weasel politicians from both parties 3.Absentee ballot laws change, which leads to massive ballot fraud 4.Joe Biden appears to win election, by stealing it from Trump - Anyone who says any of the following probably has the wrong mindset: 1.Government needs a common, sense pragmatic approach to handling Coronavirus 2.Government needs to help protect Americans from Coronavirus 3.Government can save the lives of Americans by doing the right Coronavirus policies...

During the 2012 presidential election, the far-left Agenda Project Action Fund produced a video showing vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan pushing granny off the cliff because he had the supposed audacity to propose a sensible budget, rather than the money-tree approach of Democrats. Instead of becoming vice president, Ryan landed only one step behind the VP in the presidential succession as Speaker of the House. While he didn’t push granny off the cliff, he did push himself and his party off a cliff by undermining the president of his own party as often as he could. Ryan ended up on...

We’re witnessing a historical rift in a cold (so far) civil war. It’s like overlooking the battlefields pre-Gettysburg, or looking at Hiroshima before the bomb. DEFCON-3: What is that? Most center-right readers know. DEFCON is a military preparedness alert system. It’s how we assess enemy threats. Our normal DEFCON number sits at 5, sometimes going to 4. We don’t know details, but it musters military readiness due to intelligence rumblings. DEFCON-3 is a rare signal of danger. *snip* DEFCON-3, moving rapidly towards DEFCON-2. A cultural alert: 1. We just had an election that was stolen. The evidence is clear, the...

There’s an undeniable pleasure in imagining the blue states cut off from America and forced to fend for themselves without normal Americans to feed them, fuel them, and defend them from the kind of dirtbags they kiss up to in order to show us knuckle-dragging Jesus-folk what for. But secession is a terrible idea, for them, but more importantly, for us. And while I don’t think America will unravel anytime soon – though those of us who read real history instead of silly oppression studies dreck understand that all great civilizations do eventually collapse – it remains possible that our...

For those interested and wondering.

It’s looking pretty grim right now regarding President Trump’s chances of getting the four more years he deserves, and that he almost certainly would have received had the Democrats’ cheating game not gone to all time high levels. It’s also looking like justice and honesty are going to play a diminishing role in the United States for the foreseeable future, as evidently about forty or so percent of the country is perfectly comfortable with massive voter fraud and willing to participate in it, all because they wanted to have their own way. With that, it also looks like we are...

President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday that he intends to “declassify everything,” over his own apparent concern that the Department of Justice and Attorney General William Barr withheld information about an ongoing DOJ investigation into Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son. Hunter Biden acknowledged that he is under investigation over questions about his tax returns and possible unreported income from Ukrainian oil and gas firm, Burisma. As The Daily Wire noted late last week, further information seems to have emerged creating questions about Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, including a possible entanglement in China. “In addition to Delaware, the securities fraud unit in...

ISLAMABAD -- A roadside bomb exploded near a police station in the Pakistani garrison city of Rawalpindi on Sunday, wounding at least 23 people, police said. Initially police said a hand grenade was thrown near a water filtration plant across the road from the police station, but a senior Rawalpindi police officer Ahsan Younas later confirmed the blast was from a device planted on the side of the road. Police said three of the casualties received deep wounds, while others were given medical care and discharged from the hospital. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the explosion.

There seem to be some disturbing double standards in the American legal system. It must have been obvious to an intelligent observer that a lack of meaningful and publicly verifiable monitoring of elections integrity has disproportionately benefited Democrat candidates. So many times, when election processes or other circumstances facilitated fraud and cheating, it was the Democrat Party that was the foremost beneficiary of that facilitation. The 2020 presidential election is not an exception from that pattern. We have seen it over and over again. Many races that Democrat candidates were decidedly losing during Election Day often ended up in their...

‘Twas the night before the electoral college would meet, At the DNC, All was sweet. the illegal ballots were stuffed, in their boxes with care, knowing the Supreme Court, just wouldn’t dare. The Biden’s were nestled, all snug in their beds, while reruns of ‘West wing’, dance in their heads. And my wife in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap, When suddenly on Twitter, there occurred such a clatter I sprang from the bed, to see what was the matter. Away to the Computer I flew like a flash, Opened...

It is clear that the fight is about killing the Constitution whether we act or not. They have already declared that this is their aim. The presidential election of 2020 has revealed America’s present state of social and spiritual chaos. It has also cast light on the paths we might choose going into the future. While we wait for the Georgia senatorial runoff that will begin that future in earnest, here is where we are right now. There are two different world views in competition. The one that seems to be on the ascendant, calls itself by many names so...

'You can now engage with the Tweet, but in line with our Civic Integrity Policy policy it will continue to be labeled in order to give more context for anyone who might see the Tweet,' Twitter stated when lifting the restrictions. December 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Twitter once again restricted President Donald Trump’s account Saturday for contradicting the website’s preferred narrative on the presidential election, temporarily preventing users from liking or replying to a handful of tweets reacting to the U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of Texas’s election lawsuit last night. The suit asked the Supreme Court to void the November...

There are numerous safety concerns associated with the virus, especially for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. WASHINGTON, D.C., December 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced Friday that it has approved the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals over 16 years of age. Although the Pfizer vaccine was not developed using a cell line derived from an aborted baby, it was tested — that is, the laboratory phase which verifies the quality of the vaccine on cell tissues — using such a cell line, HEK-293, reports Children of God for Life.
