ROME – Former Italian deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, a populist and known opponent of Pope Francis and the Italian bishops on the issue of immigration, is going on trial for kidnapping related to his refusal to allow migrants to disembark a ship in 2019. In February this year, the Senate Chamber of the Sicilian city of Catania authorized the trial against Salvini on charges of aggravated kidnapping for preventing 116 migrants rescued at sea last August to come ashore, leaving them stranded for five days on a crowded ship in the sweltering summer heat with insufficient supplies. The ship...

Former special prosecutor and solicitor general Ken Starr testified before the senate committee as an expert witness.

With no disrespect, the electoral college has voted. The only other option is for Congress to vote against sitting a set of electors and that would require a Nancy Pelosi controlled House to vote for sitting Trump. You have a better chance of a meteor hitting Earth causing us to all go extinct like the Dinosaurs than Nancy Pelosi electing Donald Trump President. I mean seriously, what is the play here? I don't get it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging GOP Senators to accept Joe Biden as their next President. Newsmax has taken to calling Joe Biden the “President-Elect.” Many “conservative” news outlets have failed to expose blatant voter fraud while trying to salvage their credibility by ripping on Joe Biden’s fictional cabinet picks. And it is fiction, folks. Joe Biden is not the President-Elect. His so-called “appointees” and “nominees” are nothing more then hypothetical bureaucrats in the event that they can maintain the illusion of an election victory until January 20th. It’s unfortunate that we have to continue to hammer home the...

To quote that peerless existentialist, The Dude, there’s no rug tying the room together anymore. Was the election to be somehow overturned before January 20, the Deep State would go Shock and Awe to finish the job. In either case, The Deplorables will become...
