State legislators and Congress share responsibility for fraud that casts doubt on the outcome of the election. While other news media has breathlessly reported on the many lawsuits filed to deal with election fraud, the real story is the failure of Trump’s first term Republican Congress and State Republican controlled legislatures. They should have enacted laws that would have prevented the steal. To file suit, there must be a “case or controversy,” which means, someone’s rights have been violated and the court can do something about it. It’s the last part that is lacking in every lawsuit filed to deal...

I happened to glance out my window to check on the progress of our share of the Nor'easter in Baltimore. In doing so, I obtained photographic evidence of 4 Chinese nationals constructing a strange structure right here on U.S. soil. One of the males is a medical doctor completing a post-doc in statistical epidemiology. The other male is a Ph.D student in math. The women are completing Ph.D studies in other subjects. They were observed coordinating efforts to gather snow with a shovel and then fashion it into different-sized balls. They then placed the largest ball on the bottom, a...

The ‘Squad’s’ newest member Cori Bush is demanding President-elect Joe Biden move to grant clemency to everybody currently sitting on death row. Bush’s view shows once again that there isn’t any level of criminal the group won’t embrace. The Missouri Democrat made her views clear in an op-ed with Time Magazine on Monday. “If [Biden] truly opposes the death penalty,” she wrote, “he must do everything in his power to stop it for good. Granting clemency to all on federal death row is his most effective tool.” Bush went on to describe the death penalty as “murder in the name...

In a Facebook post Monday, TV host and personality Mike Rowe denounced student loan forgiveness and encouraged people to reconsider taking on debt for a four-year degree that may not even land them a job. “Many it seems, suspect that I’ll be supportive of these efforts since I’ve written at length about the outrageous rise of college tuition and the scandalous ways in which hundreds of thousands of students have been conned into borrowing ridiculous sums of money to purchase degrees that never lead to an actual job,” Rowe wrote. “Well, for the record, I do not support student loan...

I have this feeling that McConnell has been "promised" he will remain Majority Leader in exchange for stabbing Trump/74 million voters in the back.

Gov. Jay Inslee issued a proclamation Monday halting the termination of a city-county health department or the withdrawal from a health district until the COVID-19 state of emergency is over, as local public health districts face continued politicization. The proclamation was announced just one day before a vote in the Pierce County Council to break its county-city health department agreement. The Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department has received attention in the past few weeks after members of the county council proposed breaking a decades-long agreement between Tacoma and Pierce County to share a health department. “The pause is necessary to ensure...

Jackson DeLude, an 8-year-old double-amputee and Buffalo resident, received a dream vacation to Disney World with a twist -- a set of prosthetic blades that would allow him to run properly, which he hadn't been able to do because of his partially-developed legs being amputated when he was an infant.
