President Trump is asking about a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s business deals with China and tax allegations. Hunter Biden revealed last Wednesday that he is under investigation by the feds over his taxes. ....... Snip...... President Trump has support from Republican lawmakers. Senator Lindsey Graham said he is also calling for a special prosecutor to investigate Hunter Biden’s business deals with China. “If you believe a special counsel was needed to look at the Trumpworld regarding Russia — how can you say that there’s no need for a special counsel regarding Hunter Biden?” Lindsay Graham said to reporters...

A Cole County man was one of five people in the state selected for Missouri's first elk season in modern history. The five randomly selected hunters from all corners of the state were given the opportunity to hunt elk beginning this October. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) randomly selected the few lucky winners from a pool of 19,215 permit applications including 33 for one resident-landowner antlered-elk permit and 19,182 for four general permits.

Biden announced Buttigieg was his pick for transportation secretary, calling him a 'leader, patriot, and problem-solver' President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team has deleted an ad from earlier this year hammering Pete Buttigieg’s lack of experience after Biden chose the former mayor to serve as transportation secretary.

widespread "irregularities" on Election Day, a group of Democrats in Congress objected Thursday to the counting of Ohio's 20 electoral votes, delaying the official certification of the 2004 preside rntial election results. The move was not designed to overturn the re-election of President Bush, said Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones and California Sen. Barbara Boxer, who filed the objection. The objecting Democrats, most of whom are House members, said they wanted to draw attention to the need for aggressive election reform in the wake of what they said were widespread voter problems. In a letter to congressional leaders Wednesday, members...

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The SH-288 toll lanes are open and you'll have to pay to use them starting today. Until now, the fees had been waived. Adjustable pricing is based on time of day and volume of traffic. In other words, if the lanes get too congested, toll prices will increase to control traffic. "I think you have to realize that the tolls will be managed based on time of day. If you're in the tolls during peak, it will cost a little more. If you're driving off peak, it will be less. And that's how they're designed," said...

My mother was telling me tonight that my cousin Tina had covid. I asked her if the rest of her family got it? Turns out my cousin Tina got it, her daughter who was in high school got it, her son who is in his early twenties did not get it, her husband who is the same age and works in a hospital did not get it. Here's the kicker, her brother who lives with them is 49 years old and had a heart transplant last year got it and recovered in a week. The rest who got it pretty...

IF IF IF Trump is forced to concede... Free Republic ^ | 11/14/20 | M. Thatcher Posted on 11/14/2020, 12:24:26 AM by M. Thatcher …this is what I’d love to hear from the President. I want it defiant and optimistic - to give those who love America a wonderful outlet and channel bitterness into future victory. "As I acknowledge the political reality that there is no longer a path to re-election... I have directed my campaign team to immediately form a new Party: the MAGA Party. I am a builder. And with you, we have built a beautiful new movement...

Saw the info below posted in one of my local FB groups. Apparently, Fulton County has decided that its shenanigans on November 3 weren't enough. They now have "Mobile Voting (fraud) Units". (Fulton is one county south of me.) Fulton County took the unprecedented step of deploying a ‘Mobile Voting Unit’ for use in the run-off. To my knowledge, they are the only county out of 159 in this state to do so. Why would they need such a thing? Fulton County has 32 early-voting locations. They have 64 approved Voting Polls. Their voters requested and received over 155,000 absentee...

Hunter Biden lobbied since-vanished Chinese oil tycoon Ye Jianming to “quickly” wire him $10 million to help establish and fund his failed business venture SinoHawk Holdings in 2017, according to an email obtained by The Post. In the June 18 email, President-elect Joe Biden’s scandal-scarred son sent “best wishes from the entire Biden family” before outlining his expectations for their joint venture. The trove of documents were among more than 900 made public by Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski

Just a good video.. Recent Episode

The One Party System in Washington D.C. Typical of the national media, Reuters reports “Trump, 70, takes over a country divided after a savage election campaign.” The fact is that voters were divided way before the election campaign; however, there was no such division in Congress. “Striking a defiant tone, Trump said American workers have been devastated by the outsourcing of jobs abroad.” Trump defied the one party system in Washington D.C. His defiance was a pushback against the One-Party-System. For example, the Republicans were complicit in raising the national debt to more than $9 trillion dollars. Republican voters opposed...

A new effort to save California's restaurants is underway at the state capital. A bipartisan group of eleven state senators, including Sen. Andreas Borgeas of Fresno and Sen. Melissa Hurtado of Hanford, are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to classify restaurants as an essential business and allow them to reopen. "Many restaurants have gone out of business, and now, with the approach of winter and new guidelines that restrict indoor dining, many others will be forced to consider a similar choice," the letter said. So far, there's been no comment from the governor's office.

Listening to US Vice President – Elect Kamala Harris speak about Hanukkah frightened me more than Rashida Tlaib’s vulgar tweets. As I see it , the danger lies in distorting the meaning and intent of the Hasmonean revolt against the Syrian occupation. If one may paraphrase Churchill’s tribute to the RAF during the battle of Britain, we may say of the Maccabees that never before in the history of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few. Had the Maccabees failed there would be no Judaism, no Jews and no Christianity or Christians. Neither would there be...

By now, Monday’s massive Google outage is history for most people. While it was a minor inconvenience for some, with most Google services being down for hours on end, it was a much larger pain in the electronic ass for the tragically hip who have surrendered their “smart” homes to Google. In fact, of the services that went down, it was Google Home users who were literally left in the dark during the outage on Monday, RT notes. As a result, “smart home” users were complaining about not being able to perform once-simple tasks at their homes – like turning...

The 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment focused on foreign election influence will be delayed, Fox News has learned, amid a dispute between senior intelligence analysts over whether China sought to influence the election. "This afternoon the DNI was notified by career intelligence officials that the Intelligence Community will not meet the December 18 deadline, set by Executive Order and Congress, to submit the IC’s classified assessment on foreign threats to the 2020 U.S. elections," Amanda Schoch, Assistant DNI for Strategic Communications said in a statement to Fox News

TWITTER LINK: 29 Second Video Clip

Twitter is now censoring and attaching warnings to tweets made by Trump and other conservatives who point out the existence of voter fraud. At the same time Twitter never disputes claims made by the Democrats, no matter how little evidence exists to support those claims. We thought a series of "Things you will never see on Twitter" will help to make this discrepancy more obvious.
