Bezos, the richest man in the world, benefitted from pandemic conditions More than 4,000 warehouse workers at Amazon, the e-commerce giant founded by the world's richest man, depend on food stamps to make ends meet in nine states, according to new U.S. Government Accountability Office data this week. The report said 70% of food stamp recipients who work at the United States' second-largest employer and other chain retailers like Walmart work full time. Amazon -- whose workers are pictured smiling in ads to match the company's curved arrow logo -- markets its jobs to high school graduates, according to Bloomberg....

This is not the time for flights of spiritual fantasy. Either the charismatic prophets who declared unanimously that Donald Trump would be reelected to a second consecutive term were right or they were wrong. Either there is going to be some last minute, seemingly miraculous intervention that overturns the vote of the electoral college, or Trump will not serve a second consecutive term. There is no middle ground. There is no third option. There is no reality in which Trump actually did win but in fact didn’t win. Or in which he’s the president in God’s sight but not in...

Republicans have fired a legal salvo against lax absentee ballot procedures in Georgia as the GOP seeks to make sure that all legal votes are counted — and illegal ones are left out.The party has filed 3 lawsuits in federal court in advance of the January 5 Senate runoff elections, challenging signature verification procedures as well as the use of drop boxes to collect absentee ballots.The suits have been filed despite hundreds of thousands of votes already cast in early voting and mail-in ballots.Politico:The net result of the suits, which are backed by a combination of local, state and national...

---SNIP--- OnlyFans, a subscription service for pornography, now has an official Pennsylvania Health Department endorsement. In other recommendations, however, the health department sounds cautious about the physical consequences of random sex in a way the left has jeered and fought for decades. “If you usually meet your sex partners online,” says the PDH, “consider taking a break from in-person dates.” Instead, the health department is asking people to use “video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms, or chat rooms.”

Identity politics seems to be sticking around. Important election results seemed to refute the notion that Americans vote for their ethnic or racial identity. Hispanic voters trended significantly toward the supposedly anti-Hispanic Donald Trump, and Californians, while voting 63% for Joe Biden, rejected racial quotas and preferences in a referendum by an even larger margin than in the 1990s. But Joe Biden, even as the Supreme Court rejected the last pro-Trump lawsuit and the Electoral College confirmed his 306-232 majority, seemed to be playing identity politics with his major appointments. "Identity-based groups," The New York Times is reporting, "continue to...

Twitter Screenshot (@HotepJesus)This is rather inexcusable. The University Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, decided to televise COVID-19 vaccines for staff members. I am sure the leaders’ intentions were good. Showing medical workers taking the vaccine helps to increase confidence in the process and may encourage those hesitant to receive it.However, if you watch this video of this vaccination, the syringe is clearly empty. The black plunger is fully depressed when the person administering it correctly pulls back on it. The vaccine is an intramuscular, or “IM,” injection. When you give someone an IM injection, you pull back slightly to...

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2020/10/23/how-the-president-could-invoke-martial-law/ Throughout 2020, America has faced a global pandemic, civil unrest after the death of George Floyd and a contentious election. As a result, an influx of fear about the possibility of the invocation of martial law or unchecked military intervention is circulating around the internet among scholars and civilians alike. “The fear is certainly understandable, because as I’m sure you know, martial law isn’t described or confined or limited, proscribed in any way by the Constitution or laws,” Bill Banks, a Syracuse professor with an expertise in constitutional and national security law, told Military Times. “If someone has declared...

Although it’s seemingly good news that there’s a Wuhan virus vaccine available, not everyone is embracing it. After all, they’ve seen the medical establishment, from Fauci on down, make one mistake after another during this difficult year. Worse, many in the medical establishment are proving to be insane as only leftists can be. The latest example is the once prestigious and reliable New England Medical Journal, which published an article declaring biological sex irrelevant.In the latest issue of the NEMJ, two doctors and a lawyer have written that it’s time to do away with putting a newborn baby’s biological sex...

Jon Ossoff, a Democrat Georgia Senate candidate, believes federal immigration officials should provide workplace protections for illegal immigrants, which includes enforcement of a minimum wage. Ossoff made the argument at a campaign event over the weekend. The Democrat was asked by a woman taking advantage of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program what he would do to protect her and her family. “Dreamers, DACA recipients are every bit as American as any of us, and I will have your back in the U.S. Senate,” replied Ossoff. ... In a video posted to his timeline, Jon Ossoff then makes...

WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence received the Covid-19 vaccine in a televised appearance Friday morning in an effort to promote its safety and boost public confidence in its effectiveness. The Pfizer vaccine was also given to his wife, Karen Pence, and Surgeon General Jerome Adams in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the the White House by a medical team from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. "I didn't feel a thing. Well done," Pence said in remarks after receiving the shot in his left arm. "Karen and I wanted to step forward and take this vaccine to assure...

The call and clamor for secession has steadily increased within the United States over perhaps the last decade and a half. Prior, for the most part, it was more of an intellectual exercise than anything else. Despite its troubles, America remained the most free, prosperous nation on the planet as we rolled into the 20th century. Then things began to change. Perpetual war, out-of-control spending, and a lack of governmental transparency and accountability, along with cultural corrosion, began to weaken and divide the nation. The 2020 election with its specter of fraud and corruption has perhaps ignited the conversation, particularly...

During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of CBS’ “Late Show,” President-Elect Joe Biden stated that we are “going to get to the place we can open schools.” And by this time next year, “we’ll be awfully close to” back to normal “if not there.” Host Stephen Colbert asked, “Do you think this time next year, when you’re both in the White House, we will have what you could call a normal Christmas? Will the country be back to normal?”

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” that it was time for Republican lawmakers to accept President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and not try to “disturb the certification of the Electoral College.” Cuomo said, “What do you say to members of your party who are in Congress who are even contemplating doing something on January 6th to disturb the certification of the Electoral College?” Christie said, “Chris, you know, whenever anybody loses an election, party, an individual, there’s great disappointment, but elections have consequences. And this one was clearly won by president-elect...

President Trump has argued "fraud" and the voters are apparently listening: For the second day in a row, a new voter survey has found support for President Trump’s vow to fight on with his challenge to the election, with more believing that it was plagued with fraud. While a Tuesday Pew Research Center survey said that it was mostly Republicans who believed that fraud occurred, the new McLaughlin & Associates poll found that all voters, by a 46%-45% margin, believed that there was fraud. Beyond that, Rasmussen now reports that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that the media hid...

Peter Navarro is the Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. He’s also someone with a clear, logical mind, and a gift for distilling the narrative essence of complicated, disparate facts emerging from the six contested states in this election. The 30-page report, plus six pages of supporting footnotes, sets out the six different kinds of frauds and explains how they appeared in each state. It then concludes that, especially given Biden’s narrow margin of victory in the contested states, removing the fraudulent votes gives Trump an overwhelming victory and a clear Electoral College win.The report, entitled The...

With cowardice and treachery swirling in the December air like snowflakes, we wonder what fate will befall the Republic. The epic elections scam is within inches of triumph. We’re near calling for a Hail Mary pass. We pray for a Trump victory. If that pass misses the receiver, though, then a frail, faltering, corrupt old man will make a mockery of the oath of office by taking it at high noon on January 20. All those who participate in that charade on that gloomy day are, in their ways, culpable in the greatest crime ever committed against the American people....

On Thursday, pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood unleashed on Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, calling for his immediate resignation. "This may be most important tweet of my life," Wood started. "Chief Justice John Roberts is corrupt & should resign immediately. Justice Stephen Breyer should also resign immediately. They are “anti-Trumpers” dedicated to preventing public from knowing TRUTH of @realDonaldTrump re-election." Wood also questioned whether or not Roberts had visited pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's island. "I have long had questions about “the John Roberts” on Jeffrey Epstein private jet flight logs," he added in another tweet. "I suspected it was our Chief Justice....

Everywhere we look, it seems there’s a leftist talking about how important it is for Joe Biden to unify the nation. It’s not overly surprising. After all, if the nation unifies in the next two years, it increases the chance that Democrats will make gains in both the House and the Senate in two years, rather than lose it as normally happens. It also means a better chance for a Democrat to win in 2024, whether Joe Biden runs again or not. However, what these progressive voices need to understand is that their calls for unity seem a bit hollow...
