Every new year's eve we have a family tradition; we get a big box of chocolates and we get in a circle and tell the stories of the most memorable fun we had as a family. These stories are stored in a memory book to be retold to the future generations. We give thanks to God for our blessings. We savor the sweetness of the chocolate to remind us that life can be sweet. Then we review the events that were very hard but that we got through. We discuss that at the end of the year we write our...

President-elect Joe Biden said Republicans will have "much more room to run and cooperate" after President Donald Trump leaves the White House. In an interview with CBS 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert, Biden said he doesn't blame Republicans who have been slow to congratulate his win and believes Trump's hold over the party will become less of a barrier to cooperation. "I think I can work with Republican leadership in the House and the Senate, I think we can get things done, and I think once this president is no longer in office, I think you're going to see his...

Ilhan Omar blames Trump's 'criminal neglect' for her father's COVID-19 death during interview with MSNBC Ilhan Omar has blamed Donald Trump's "criminal neglect" for her father's death from COVID-19 during an interview on MSNBC. The Congresswoman said: "My father and over 300,000 people have lost their lives because of dangerous criminal neglect by Trump and his administration. My father should be here today. So many of our family members should be here today and they're not here with us because we have leaders who didn't care about their lives. "The President to this day has not shown an ounce of...

Lord Sumption, who served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom until 2018, has branded lockdowns “useless” and a “profoundly immoral” imposition on the young ... We are forever being told not to blow it now by throwing away our past efforts. Truth is, our past efforts have been useless,” he claimed. The 72-year-old jurist suggested that successive waves of national lockdowns, tiered regional lockdowns, and so on have only reduced infections by “shifting them into a later period” and “That is why we are where we are now.” ... The judge also questioned the moral...

Rep. Omar asked for privacy when her father died over the summer. And that seemed fair enough since she didn't politicize his death beyond a brief Islamic social media tribute. But Omar can't stop being her own usual horrible self for very long and so she decided to blame President Trump for her father's death. "My father and over 300,000 people have lost their lives because of dangerous criminal neglect by Trump and his administration," she told MSNBC. "I agree with Clyburn that it is not enough for us just to issue subpoenas, we have to investigate and prosecute...

When should you file a lawsuit over an election? If you're a Democrat, the answer is at any time. But if you're a Republican the answer is never. Here's February, 2020. A federal judge, this week, ruled against Gov. Brian Kemp in a lawsuit filed against him in 2018, while he was still Secretary of State. According to the suit, Kemp, in his role as secretary of state, was accused of using a racially-biased methodology for removing as many as 700,000 legitimate voters from the state's voter rolls during a period between 2016 and 2018. In her conclusion, the...

Americans have grown dangerously accustomed to tyranny as of late. Whether that tyranny’s source is the incompetent federal government’s agents, such as Dr. Fauci, tyranny from hypocritical blue state governors, or the tyrannical actions of the Big Tech monopolies, Americans don’t resist anymore. They just bend the knee and go along with it. When the government says to stay at home, most people stay at home. If some blabbering fool issues a diktat from city hall that demands businesses remain closed, then most small business owners keep their businesses shuttered, even if that means their life’s work and wealth is...

...Such illegal and unlawful acts against all established international norms, signify mal-intent of Indian Army to target not only innocent civilians residing along the Line of Control but UN Peace Keepers as well. This act only goes to show Indian Army’s complete disregard to principles enshrined in [the] UN Charter. It is indeed a new low for Indian Army...

Larvita McFarquhar is America embodied. An African-American single mom with four children to support, Larvita never asked for handouts. She opened Haven's Garden, in Lynd, Minnesota, a family-oriented restaurant with an attached gymnasium for kids to have a good time. She is the ultimate entrepreneur and family woman, but in Walz's Sodom and Gomorrah, she is now a criminal. She had the audacity to pursue the rights spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and kept her business open at great expense with full compliance with all the unscientific distancing restrictions. The twisted irony is that Walz is all in...

President Trump has called for a protest in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2020. Perhaps this post can serve as a signup sheet for those Freepers who will be visiting D.C. in anger on that date.

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) has always stood up for justice. He has written a pamphlet book, Countdown to Socialism in the style of what Thomas Paine had distributed preceding the Revolutionary War. In the late eighteenth century, pamphlets electrified the colonies and helped to forge American democracy, ringing the alarm for what was wrong and what needed to be done. Now, Congressman Nunes is warning Americans that something needs to be done before this country loses its morals and values. American Thinker had the privilege of interviewing him. In Chapter One, he wrote, “the Left has wholly rejected the fundamental...

Pray For the Peace of JerusalemLambs, Sheep, and Shepherds.Isaiah 32 See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. 2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. 3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. 4 The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear. 5 No longer...

Russell Ramsland: "I think there will be huge evidence coming forward in the next couple of days that will drastically change the playing field. The question is will anyone report on it." at minute 6:00 in the video link. Ramsland: The courts aren't going to help us. All the case dismissals are not related to evidence. Not one court has looked at any evidence yet. Ramsland also talks about his forensic examination of the Antrim county voting machines report. Ramsland responds to Dominion CEO's denial that the system can flip votes or uses fractional voting. "He needs to go back...

MSNBC political analyst Jason Johnson predicted Friday on “Deadline” that violence over Donald Trump losing the White House would increase. Johnson said, “This is just the beginning of how this is going to be. Senator Tuberville he abandoned Texas Tech. He leaves everything but not Trump-ism. He abandoned three different colleges but he’s not abandoning Trump-ism. You still have Proud Boys who are marching through Washington D.C. and tearing down signs. The moment that Donald Trump is out of power, these groups will become more unhinged. The Republican Party is full of individuals, even if they don’t believe the things...

Republicans’ hope of stopping the Democrats' radical agenda lies in the Georgia Senate runoffs that will be decided on January 5th. There is a lot to fear from complete Democratic control of government, like burdensome environmental regulations that cause even more businesses to close their doors, and tax hikes that end up getting passed on to the middle-class and working families. One thing Republicans should not fear, and certainly should not campaign against, is the possibility of Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state. Puerto Rico recently voted in favor of statehood for the third time in less than a decade,...
