The City of Detroit wants Sidney Powell and her self-styled “Kraken” team to face sanctions for “frivolously undermining ‘People’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government.'”The Motor City’s motion asks a federal judge to fine the lawyers, ban them from practicing in the Eastern District in Michigan and refer them to the Wolverine State’s bar for grievance proceedings.“It’s time for this nonsense to end,” Detroit’s lawyer David Fink told Law&Crime in a phone interview.“The lawyers filing these frivolous cases that undermine democracy must pay a price,” Fink added.Under standard procedures for Rule 11 sanctions, opposing counsel...

CLEVELAND, OH—Due to mounting pressure from a growing consensus of 12 people on Twitter and The New York Times, the Cleveland Indians have finally chosen to change their team's name and get rid of the highly offensive "Chief Wahoo" mascot. After testing several new names with focus groups, the owners finally settled on the highly non-offensive title "Cleveland Genderless Sports Players With No Discernable Racial Features Or Specific Ethnic Background." "After listening to the earnest pleas of a few recent college grads who sat through a Native American History course once, we realized something had to change," said owner Paul...

Raphael Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, is currently running as the Democratic candidate for Senate. Warnock has long struggled with claims he is anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic. But recent revelations about Warnock paint a picture of a man for whom there is no struggle; he is absolutely aligned with powers that oppose the existence of a Jewish state and Muslim figures who make unabashedly anti-Semitic statements. WARNOCK: ANTI-ISRAEL In a 2018 sermon, after the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, Warnock gave a sermon in which he accused Israeli security personnel of shooting innocent...

Last month, China released details of its 14th five-year plan, the outline for how it will double its GDP by 2035, rebalance its economy, attain technological self-reliance, transition to a sustainable economic model, and stage a green industrial revolution to boot. Good luck. In the short time since the plan’s announcement, the country’s biggest-ever IPO (for Jack Ma’s Ant Financial Group) has collapsed, several strategic tech firms have run into financial trouble, and now the country’s national champion chipmaker, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), has been thrown into turmoil by the (apparent) shock resignation of its CEO. China has started...

Hundredfold Reward, by Grace Today’s Scripture: Matthew 19:29 “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters . . . for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold.” In the verses immediately preceding the parable of the workers in the vineyard in Matthew 20, Jesus promised a "hundredfold" reward, or ten thousand percent, to "everyone" who has sacrificed for Jesus’ sake. God’s rewards to us will not only be of grace, but will indeed be gracious—that is, generous beyond all measure. So the grace of God in our service to him does not negate rewards but rather makes them...

Daniel Scavino Jr. is an American political advisor serving as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications and Director of Social Media for the White House. Last night Scavino reportedly put up a tweet only to have it taken down a short time later. An individual at the Donald.win reported this story first. Apparently Dan Scavino put up a tweet showing the picture above and he shared:

Abstract BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) is a potentially lethal disease that may progress into severe respiratory distress syndrome requiring ventilatory support. While azithromycin (AZI) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) are considered similar to placebo in COVID-19, other drugs such as ivermectin (IVER), are being repurposed to treat this pandemic. This study was designed to assess the effects of ivermectin on duration of febrile illness and disease outcomes in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection in a community setting. METHODS: In this case-control study 95 suspected patients of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 were included. The controls (Group-A) received AZI+HCQ for seven days while the cases (Group-B) received IVER+AZI+HCQ...

Within about three hours of the first shipments of the coronavirus vaccine arriving Monday morning at Joint Base San Antonio, Maj. Andrew Gausepohl became the base’s first military health care worker to receive the injection... The Defense Department’s initial allocation of the vaccine is 43,875 doses, Army Lt. Gen. Ronald J. Place, director of the Defense Health Agency, said last week. Each of the initial 16 U.S.-based military sites included in the first round of distribution has more than 1,000 people who are in the top priority group to receive vaccines, such as health care workers. Once the Defense Department...

A group of over two dozen black ministers has signed a letter expressing strong criticism of Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock over his support for abortion. Warnock is headed for a January runoff election against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler. “Unborn Black, Brown and White lives are so much more than clumps of cells, burdensome inconveniences, or health problems,” the ministers wrote to the radical Democrat, who is also a reverend. “They are sacred human persons endowed by God with inalienable dignity and worth,” the letter continues. “We implore you to uphold the Biblical defense of life and to fight against...

London - Air pollution "made a material contribution" to the death of nine-year-old London schoolgirl Ella Kissi-Debrah, a U.K. coroner ruled on Wednesday. The landmark ruling is the first time air pollution has been officially listed as a cause of death for anyone in the U.K. Ella Kissi-Debrah died in 2013 after suffering severe asthma attacks for three years, her mother Rosamund Kissi-Debrah told CBS News last year. When she died, the cause of her death was determined to be a severe asthma attack leading to respiratory failure. But a report compiled for Kissi-Debrah by Stephen Holgate, the former chair...

In a stunning upset, Republican Mackenzie Kelly defeated Democrat incumbent Jimmy Flannigan in Austin’s District 6 runoff Tuesday. Kelly ran on a platform that includes restoring police department funding and ending the city’s permissive homeless camping ordinance. She won with 52% to Flannigan’s 48%, a margin of just about 700 votes overall. Kelly’s win, and Republican Jennifer Virden’s near-win in District 10, may signal a major shift in Austin voters’ thinking. The Democrat-dominated city was already up in arms over the homeless camping ordinance, which allows homeless people to camp just about anywhere they want all over the city (except...

Want to see how the left is normalizing pedophilia? Well, look no farther than California. There, Sen. Scott Weiner of California has introduced a bill, which the California State Assembly approved, to lower the requirements to register someone as a sex offender. The bill states the following: “Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires a person convicted of one of certain crimes, as specified, to register with law enforcement as a sex offender while residing in California or while attending school or working in California, as specified. This bill would exempt from mandatory registration under the act a person...

The Supreme Court has stomped out an attempt by the state of Kansas to revive voter identification laws, in another move that will further disenfranchise Republican efforts to retain senators in Georgia. The law, which had been heavily promoted by former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach, would have required voters to provide a birth certificate, passport, or other proof of citizenship to be able to vote. This would have prevented illegal aliens from voting in the state of Kansas and shown the blue print for other states to adopt in order to prevent fraud. Kansas District Court Chief Judge...

If nearly 40 percent of the entire nation anticipates spending the next 12 months in "survival mode", that is not a good sign for what the coming year will bring. Traditionally, Americans have looked forward to the turn of the year with tremendous optimism, but this time around things are very, very different. 2020 brought us the COVID pandemic, tremendous violence and civil unrest in our major cities, and the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Sadly, a large chunk of the country is anticipating more difficulties in the coming months, because one recent survey found...

Kirk Cameron stuck it to Gov. Gavin Newsom and his COVID guidelines by getting hundreds of people together in public to sing Christmas carols ... something he does not regret. The "Growing Pains" star helped organize a massive outdoor gathering Sunday in the parking lot of the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks -- where literally swarms of people were huddled up, not wearing masks and singing their hearts and lungs out ... breathing up a storm. Looks like a good time, sure, but it comes mid-pandemic, and in an area where infection rates are already high. Kirk wasn't concerned ......
