Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are going to be podcasters. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Spotify to host and produce their own podcasts, they announced Tuesday. They are again following in the footsteps of the Obamas by signing up with both Netflix and Spotify.

Sidney Powell's "Kraken" has finally made it to the docket of the Supreme Court. The suit is perhaps the strongest collective argument yet against voter fraud. It contains the forensic audit done in Michigan that proves systemic voter fraud occurred through the Dominion Voting System tabulation. It also has proof of at least 200,000 FRAUDULANT VOTES casted in the election.Further, it contains official Georgia elections records that prove the Dominion Voting Systems program's "inability to repeatably duplicate creditable election results." In other words, official Georgia election canvassers could not rely on Dominion Voting Systems' software to count the vote because...

A man suspected in 23 misdemeanor sexual battery cases in the West Los Angeles area has been arrested, police said Wednesday. The man, described as a “sexual predator” by police, is believed to have victimized women since Oct. 23 around UCLA and Westwood Plaza. Authorities began their investigation on Nov. 18, Los Angeles Police Department officials said in a news release. The assailant was usually dressed in a hoodie and a “surgical type mask that concealed his face,” which made it difficult to identify him, officials said. With the help of the UCLA Police Department, detectives eventually identified a possible...

CHICAGO — Predictions of a “surge on a surge” of coronavirus cases caused by Thanksgiving travel may be coming true in some parts of the U.S., but Illinois has seen a drop in new infections on average even as the state reports more lives lost than at any other point of the pandemic. The Illinois Department of Public Health reported 7,123 new confirmed and probable cases of COVID-19 Wednesday, as well as 146 additional deaths.

This is quite extraordinary. Twitter on Wednesday announced they were switching back rules to before the election. The rules served their purpose. They were able to list any criticism of the fraudulent election as “disputed” or “fake news.” And they especially hit President Trump hard.

In Boston Harbor, a group of Massachusetts colonists disguised as Mohawk Indians board three British tea ships and dump 342 chests of tea into the harbor. The midnight raid, popularly known as the “Boston Tea Party,” was in protest of the British Parliament’s Tea Act of 1773, a bill designed to save the faltering East India Company by greatly lowering its tea tax and granting it a virtual monopoly on the American tea trade. The low tax allowed the East India Company to undercut even tea smuggled into America by Dutch traders, and many colonists viewed the act as another...

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has confirmed that the gas collected from the sample container inside the re-entry capsule of the asteroid explorer, Hayabusa2, is a gas sample originating from asteroid Ryugu. The result of the mass spectrometry of the collected gas within the sample container performed at the QLF (Quick Look Facility) established at the Woomera Local Headquarters in Australia on December 7, 2020, suggested that the gas differed from the atmospheric composition of the Earth. For additional confirmation, a similar analysis was performed on December 10 – 11 at the Extraterrestrial Sample Curation Center on the JAXA...

Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) confirmed on Dec. 16 that she is open to objecting to electoral votes during the Jan. 6, 2021, joint session of Congress.“I haven’t looked at it,” Loeffler told reporters in Georgia. “January 6 is a long way out and there’s a lot to play out between now and then.”A spokesperson referred The Epoch Times to Loeffler’s remarks, when asked if the senator has decided whether or not to object to votes during the joint session.On that day, the House of Representatives and Senate are scheduled to meet to count electoral votes from 50 states and the...

The 39-page report compiled by the Thomas More Society’s Amistad Project claimed that the bulk of $500 million from Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan went to the previously little-known leftist non-profit Center for Tech and Civic Life. Although listed as a non-partisan organization, the CTCL funded ballot collection sites in traditionally Democrat dominated jurisdictions and “considered state election integrity laws as obstacles and nuisances to be ignored or circumvented, ” states the authors.

Just a brief cruise through the conservative Blogisphere will reveal a hardening resistance forming to the violence being done to our Constitution by Marxist scum and the willingness of weak-kneed GOP leadership to accept the stealing of our election without a fight. Soon we who believe in freedom will not have that luxury. I think most of us are again looking for a leader that shares our values and will lead us in this fight. Beyond doubt, President or not, Donald Trump is that person. If we had the time our movement would simply absorb the establishment Republican Party. 25%...

New York’s golden geese are flying south, and not just for the winter. The analytics firm Unacast reports that more than 3 million have fled the city during the pandemic — replaced by slightly fewer who earn a lot less, for a net reduction in income of some $34 billion. Its estimates, based on cellphone data, may be off a bit, but signs that higher earners have left town are everywhere. And top businesses are eyeing the exits, too. Deutsche Bank AG is the most recent in a long line of major companies looking to escape the tax-heavy, high-cost city...

Among U.S. adults aged 25 to 44, there were 19% more deaths than expected — or 12,000 people — from March through July 2020 (JAMA. 2020;Published online December 16). The researchers — including Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who has been nominated to lead the CDC — report that 38% of this excess mortality was directly from COVID-19 (coded as either “underlying cause” or “multiple cause” of death), but that proportion varied by region. Deaths from COVID-19 were similar to or exceeded unintentional deaths from opioids in this age group in 2018 in several areas of the country. The authors write that...

emocratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has never seemed like a big fan of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's leadership. And now the firebrand progressive sounds as if she doesn't much likes how Chuck Schumer, another fellow Democrats, leads in the Senate. "We need new leadership in the Democratic Party," Ocasio-Cortez said during a podcast with The Intercept on Wednesday. The Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill asked Ocasio-Cortez whether Congress’s failure to pass COVID-19 relief this year should be blamed on Pelosi and Schumer. "Isn’t this grounds ... to take a stand and say, 'No, I’m sorry. Nancy Pelosi should not be the speaker and...

Christmas feasting, decorating, and gift-opening can be dangerous to your health, according to a decidedly non-systematic review described in The BMJ's cheeky Christmas edition. Among the documented harms associated with the holiday: a young man coming down with acute arsenic poisoning from painting his Christmas cards in 1876, a gifted pet hamster leading to an outbreak of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in 57 people in New York, and Haitian toy drums that transmitted anthrax bacilli from their goatskin hides. In addition, more common maladies such as food poisonings are detailed. For example, 97 partygoers in Warsaw were sickened with norovirus from...

In the wake of announcements from multiple pharmaceutical companies about safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines, many are expressing ethical doubts about whether it is OK to take these vaccines. Do Catholics have a moral duty to decline an inoculation if it was unethically produced using a cell line that came from an abortion? The short answer is “no.” This has been discussed and explained in several magisterial church documents in recent years. In 2008, for example, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith reminded us in the Instruction Dignitas Personae that: “Grave reasons may be morally proportionate to justify...

He described such lockdown measures as “fashionable among authorities … who want to show they are heavy handed, dictatorship”, according a report by the Associated Press. He went on to claim that the advocates of such measures have “authoritarian instincts” and do not respect the freedom of the Mexican people...
