The Senate has confirmed an Indiana prosecutor to replace Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on a federal appeals court based in Chicago. Thomas Kirsch, who currently serves as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, will replace Barrett as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. Kirsch was confirmed Tuesday on a 51-44 vote. Three Democrats — Arizona Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin — voted for him in what was otherwise a party-line vote. Four Republican senators and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris did not vote.

Did she just say "Continuity of Government"!!!?!?!? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_of_governmentContinuity of government (COG) is the principle of establishing defined procedures that allow a government to continue its essential operations in case of a catastrophic event such as nuclear war. COG was developed by the British government before and during World War II to counter threats, such as that of the Luftwaffe bombing during the Battle of Britain. The need for continuity of government plans gained new urgency with nuclear proliferation. During and after the Cold War countries developed such plans to avoid (or minimize) confusion and disorder due to a power vacuum...

Gettysburg Address 2020Twelve score and four years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a cold civil war, testing whether that Nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are engaged on many battle-fields of that war — in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada. Will these fields of battle become the graveyard and final resting place for the free Republic that millions of American men and women risked or gave...

Question. All federal monies projects require intermittent drug testing and Marijuana is not permitted. Schools and Healthcare institutions all swim in federal dollars and are not intermittently drug tested. Why??

The World Economic Forum proclaimed Cyberpandemic has begun: defense, power, water, finance, and our supply chain are all vulnerable to massive disruptions after FireEye & SolarWind have unleashed weapons of mass digital destruction AND unlocked the back doors of governments, militaries, and nearly the entire Fortune 500.Christian breaks it down, and asks: "Who stands to benefits from this Cyberpandemic?" in this Ice Age Farmer broadcast. https://youtu.be/oe3y-OdNSsw

[Catholic Caucus] The Mystical Body of Christ and the Great ResetWould we be facing the threat of a disastrous “Global Reset” now if the Catholic Church had not been undermined from within for the past several decades? Our answer depends, in large part, on whether we believe the Catholic Church is truly what it has always claimed to be. If it is merely a human institution with illusions of supernatural significance (as many of its hierarchy appear to believe), then its strength or weakness has little bearing on the momentous world events we now see. However, if the Catholic Church...

A look at the media’s attempts to ‘fact-check’ President Trump’s predictions on the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine shows exactly why journalism is a dying industry. The country’s first Covid-19 vaccines were administered on Monday. President Trump predicted as much prior to the election. The President predicted this day would come in historically record time. “We’re looking to get it by the end of the year if we can, maybe before,” Trump said at a White House event in May. “Vaccine work is looking VERY promising, before end of year,” he tweeted as well. Not wanting the President to celebrate...

In November of 2019, CBS 2 interviewed Anjanette Young for the first time. A social worker and active in her church, Young had a jarring and traumatic story to tell: she told us her safest place – her home – was invaded that February. We quickly learned she was the latest victim in a pattern of wrong raids by the Chicago Police Department, uncovered by our team as part of its two-year series. But the story was different than others we reported in the past. Young said during the wrong raid, police entered the home and handcuffed her, all while...

I’ve watched this video about 100 times today already. A man wearing a face mask and questionable shorts is stalking a woman around a store, demanding that she put on a mask. She very wisely decides to film him and eventually he storms off with righteous indignation. His good deed for the day has been foiled. Facebook will definitely be hearing about this! Thankfully the people watching this unfold took the side of the woman filming and told this man to leave her alone, which he eventually did. Unfortunately this woman’s experience is not an isolated one. All over the...

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) of Washington, D.C. is investigating a “Black Lives Matter” sign burning that occurred at pro-Trump and “Stop the Steal” protests on Saturday as a potential hate crime. “The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this offense as potentially being motivated in whole or in part by hate or bias. The designation can be changed at any point as an investigation proceeds and more information is gathered,” a press release from the department read.

Concerned about possible election evidence being destroyed, members of a joint session of the Michigan Legislature’s House and Senate oversight committees on Tuesday voted to issue subpoenas to Detroit and the nearby suburb of Livonia demanding they surrender hard drives, emails, absentee voter counting board laptops and other election-related materials. One Senate Democrat reportedly joined his Republican colleagues in supporting the subpoenas. A Nov. 28 order memo from the State Bureau of Elections had followed the same protocol as prior elections and ordered the deletion by November 30 of “E-Pollbook laptops and flash drives … unless a petition for recount...

As President Donald Trump has received an unexpected number of Electoral College votes from states with ongoing controversies and contests relating to the 2020 presidential election, the opportunity is rapidly approaching for both Vice President Mike Pence and the Republican-led Senate to, with help from Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) in the South, deny the Electoral College votes of battleground states with suspicious or fraudulent election results.As National File exclusively reported today, officials have confirmed that an effort is underway in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and other states to send a slate of presidential electors intending to vote for President Donald Trump.This...

Unwittingly or not, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), cryptically provided justification for the US Congress to nullify Georgia’s slate of Electors to the Electoral college in his announcement of a signature match audit of Cobb County in his state. Raffensperger announced the audit after claims of voter fraud, just a very few claims of vote fraud his office has taken action on. The Secretary of State told reporters Monday that he launched the audit in order to restore Georgians’ faith in the election. Describing himself as a “conservative Constitutional Republican”, a claim many of his Republican colleagues in...

More fruit harvested today from the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn as the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom wins in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. From the decision today against Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak’s clearly discriminatory anti-Covid regulations that penalized churches with severe attendance limits while leaving casinos essentially free to operate with no such considerations: “The Supreme Court’s decision in Roman Catholic Diocese compels us to reverse the district court. Just like the New York restrictions, the Directive treats numerous secular activities and entities significantly better than religious worship services. “Casinos, bowling alleys, retail...

The CEO of Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday said the company has never used a platform that experts believe was breached by hackers as far back as last year.“We don’t use the SolarWinds Orion package that was the subject of the DHS report from the 13th,” CEO John Poulos told legislators in Michigan via video link.However, a screenshot of a Dominion webpage that The Epoch Times captured shows that Dominion does use SolarWinds technology. Dominion later altered the page to remove any reference to SolarWinds, but the SolarWinds website is still in the page’s source code.SolarWinds’s technology was exploited by...

Democrat Raphael Warnock was already struggling to beat back allegations of anti-Semitism, and then Linda Sarsour and Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib jumped into the Georgia Senate election picture. The Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] plans to hold Sunday evening a virtual “vote-a-thon” aimed at encouraging Georgia Muslims to vote in the Jan. 5 run-off elections, an event featuring the Democratic congresswomen as well as Ms. Sarsour. All three have expressed support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment cause, and all three have been embroiled in recent years in headline-grabbing anti-Semitism controversies. All three...

Study of England, Scotland and Wales dispels myth of ‘Asian grooming gangs’ popularised by far right The majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under the age of 30, an official paper has said. The report, which covers England, Scotland and Wales and summarises a range of studies on the issue of group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE), also known as grooming gangs, said there was not enough evidence to conclude that child sexual abuse gangs were disproportionately made up of Asian offenders. High-profile cases including in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford have involved groups of men...

COLUMBIA — University of South Carolina students could be fined and suspended if they fail to get monthly COVID-19 tests the school is mandating in the spring semester. The state’s largest college is requiring monthly checks after it needed T-shirt giveaways and prize drawings at times to conduct nearly 50,000 student tests on campus since August. An unknown number of tests were conducted off campus.

Explanation: It's happening. Saturn and Jupiter are moving closer and will soon appear in almost exactly the same direction. Coincidentally, on the night of the December solstice -- the longest night of the year in the north and the longest day in the south -- the long-awaited Great Conjunction will occur. Then, about six days from now, Saturn and Jupiter will be right next to each other -- as they are every 20 years. But this juxtaposition is not just any Great Conjunction -- it will be the closest since 1623 because the two planetary giants will pass only 1/10th...

The video clips are disturbing. They show a massive brawl involving scores of teenagers at Atlantic Station on Saturday night. Some are running, some yelling, some throwing punches. At the end, one youth collapses, having been pummeled. After a few kicks to the head, he starts to quake. “I am in tears. Dear Lord, help us. I pray he is okay,” Atlanta City Council President Felicia Moore said Monday in a social media post, nearly 48 hours after yet another incident outside a local shopping facility. It’s not solely the harrowing footage that some find disquieting. It’s not only the...
