Arizona’s eleven Republican Presidential Electors have convened to cast their votes for President Donald to be reelected. In doing so, Arizona became the fourth swing state casting procedural ballots for Trump while the states continue to be contested. ...... Snip...... The state party added that “the legitimacy and good sense of two sets of electors meeting on December 14 to cast competing votes for President and Vice President, with the conflict to be later sorted out by the courts and Congress, was pointed out by prominent Democrat lawyers Van Jones and Larry Lessing in an essay published last month on...

The risk of catching the novel coronavirus from a family member is less than one in five, a new study suggests. In a meta-analysis, researchers found that just 16.6 percent of all people with COVID-19 passed it on to members of their family. More than one in three people spread the virus to their spouses. What's more, when the infected person did not have symptoms such as cough, fever or shortness of breath, the transmission rate was just 0.7 percent. The tam, from the University of Florida, says the results show that, because people with suspected or confirmed cases are...

So I'm having another one of those debates on homosexuality, this time the issue is the views of African-Americans towards homosexuality. I remember reading some years ago that statically African-Americans hold a more negative view of homosexuality than do whites, a point I decided to raise once the other guy decided to compare the lack of gay "marriage" to slavery or Jim Crow. He pointed out that gallup had stated otherwise, that close to 70% voted to maintain same-sex "marriage" in Nevada recently. I can't remember where I read the original study but I'm just wondering if it is still...

While police departments across the United States are being defunded to appease leftists, the federal government is dedicating hundreds of thousands of dollars to advance "gender equality" in the "police forces" of a Latin American nation.

On or about this date in 1974, a young American traveler — or perhaps intelligence agent — named Charles Dean and his Australian friend Neal Sharman are believed to have been executed in Laos by the Pathet Lao guerrillas. The 23-year-old Dean was in the midst of a protracted post-university globetrotting when he was apprehended with his friend traveling down the Mekong River in the war-torn country. They were held in captivity for three months — long enough for the family to learn they were detained, and Dean’s father to fly to Laos to negotiate in vain for his release....

Director of Intelligence John Ratcliffe said in a Sunday morning last week that there might not be a Joe Biden administration. While appearing for an extensive interview with the Epoch Times on Sunday, attorney Sidney Powell discussed irregularities she has uncovered over the course of her investigation into alleged election-related fraud, and expressed confidence that the time is soon approaching where most of her bombshell claims will be confirmed.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Today, 22 Legislators and 8 Legislators-Elect sign joint resolution calling on Congress to accept the alternative slate of electors and abstain from accepting the Biden electoral votes until investigations are completed.

I will put this simply–Donald Trump is the duly elected President of the United States. Not Joe Biden. Thanks to a brave judge in Michigan, we now have indisputable, concrete evidence that the votes tabulated in any county or jurisdiction in the United States using electronic voting machines supplied by Dominion Voting Systems Corporation were tainted and the audit trail required to prove the integrity of those machines has been erased. You can (and you should) read the damning results of the forensic investigation of the Dominion Voting System machines used in Antrim County, Michigan. Here are the key facts...

Are we witnesses to a historic paradigm shift? Have we been conquered by complacency? Would we be the first to think ‘This can’t happen here? ‘Did most Russians think they would fall prey to control of the bolsheviks? No. Were most people in Cambodia oblivious to Pol Pot’s revolution? Yes, until they were rounded up and killed because they could read or wore glasses.. Did anyone in North Korea get a vote on how life should be? It will start with the disappearances of the conservative voices we listen to. Eventually it will be the shaming and persecution of any...

This morning Google had a wittle boo-boo. YouTube had a wittle oopsie. Google Home and Nest users couldn't adjust their thermostats or lights. Frankly, if you're stupid enough to let Big Tech control your home, you deserve what you get! But I digress. All the Google apps went down this morning...sorta'. The outage only affected some people in select places. Am I the only one with dubiously raised eyebrows??? According to the DailyMail, "There has been no explanation provided for today's difficulties." Later Google blamed it on, "internal storage quota issue." Uh-huh. Apparently, they forgot to include "buy more servers"...

Selected by President Grant as a Man to be Depended Upon in Perilous Times How for Many Days He Watched Every Movement of Samuel J. Tilden This is a story about Lou F. Payn, the new Superintendent of Insurance for New York State. The events occurred Just twenty years ago, but. had never been printed until they appeared recently In the New York Sun. Reference was made to the obituary notices of Mr. Reid, who died recently, to his connection with the determination of the Republican National Committee of 1876 to claim the election of Hayes at sunrise the morning...

Rep. Paul Mitchell of Michigan quit the Republican Party on Monday over the GOP’s refusal to admit that President Donald Trump lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden. Mitchell, in a scathing letter to GOP leaders, wrote that Trump’s baseless claims alleging widespread ballot fraud, and the Republican Party’s tolerance of those claims, threatened “long-term harm to our democracy.”

Good Evening And WELCOME To The Mark Levin Show!

President Trump announced that Attorney General William Barr will be leaving the Trump administration just before Christmas. "Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family," Trump tweeted on Monday afternoon. "Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen, an outstanding person, will become Acting Attorney General. Highly respected Richard Donoghue will be taking over the duties of Deputy Attorney General. Thank you to all!" Barr's...

The media have been lying about voter fraud for 20 years. The New York Times and The Washington Post will tell you: Let’s get something straight. There are only two cases of voter fraud in history and they were both Republicans. NEVER? No voter fraud ever? Nope! That’s your first clue they’re lying. Liberals don’t try to say partial-birth abortion never happens. They don’t say black men killing cops never happens. They don’t say immigrants ripping off government programs never happens. Only voter fraud NEVER HAPPENS. I bet you couldn’t find EVEN ONE! How about these? — JOHN ASHCROFT, 2000...

HISTORIC AND UNPARALLELED - PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ, NV, and NM all had GOP electors cast votes for @realDonaldTrump . That preserves @POTUS right to remedy fraud with his own electors.

CIVICUS Monitor, an international civil rights alliance, issued a report detailing how governments around the world—including the United States—"have used the pandemic as an opportunity to introduce or implement additional restrictions on civic freedoms." According to the report, "the Covid-19 pandemic has had a dire impact on civic freedoms globally. Increases in the aggressive use of force against protesters and censorship of criticism have become widespread. In fact, 87% of the world's population now lives in nations with strongly negative civic freedom ratings, a 4% increase from last year." The report was especially critical of enforcement policies that use detention....

The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to take up an Indiana case seeking to reverse a lower court’s ruling that allows both members of same-sex couples in the state to be listed as parents on the birth certificates of their children. The high court turned aside without comment a petition that Indiana’s attorney general, Curtis Hill, filed with the court last month. Hill had argued for the justices to reverse a January decision by the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that affirmed a ruling by Indiana’s federal southern district court that said Indiana laws limiting who can be called...

Like other churches, Claremont Unified Methodist Church set up a holiday nativity scene, but they did it with a twist. Their nativity scene depicted Black individuals and paid homage to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Explanation: The streak across the sky is a capsule returning from an asteroid. It returned earlier this month from the near-Earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu carrying small rocks and dust from its surface. The canister was released by its mothership, Japan's Hayabusa2, a mission that visited Ryugu in 2018, harvested a surface sample in 2019, and zoomed back past Earth. The jettisoned return capsule deployed a parachute and landed in rural Australia. A similar mission, NASA's OSIRIS- REx, recently captured rocks and dust from a similar asteroid, Bennu, and is scheduled to return its surface sample to Earth in 2023. Analyses...
