Archaeologists found something much more fascinating than they got credit for when searching under the waters of Lake Michigan for shipwrecks: they uncovered a rock with a prehistoric carving of a mastodon, as well as a collection of stones arranged in a Stonehenge-like manner. In modern archaeology, the use of remote sensing techniques is common: scientists regularly survey lakes and soil for hidden objects. Archaeologists uncovered sunken boats and cars and even a Civil War-era pier at a depth of around 40 feet into Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, using sonar techniques to search for shipwrecks, but among all these,...

In the world of Democrats and communists if you speak up about the corruption within the system, you get penalized. Poll worker Susan Voyles spoke up after the election and proved that Dominion took over Georgia voting machines remotely during the 2020 election. The truth cannot be told or tolerated by the left. Speaking up was the last thing Susan Voyles would do for the election process in Georgia. Newsmax reports: Two Fulton County poll workers in Georgia who spoke to news outlets or filed affidavits claiming voting irregularities in the November election have been told they will not return...

Published: November 27, 2020This week, the latest US national antibody data covering the period from September 7 to September 24 has been published. With the exception of a few northeastern states (notably New York), most US states still had an antibody seroprevalence below 10% or even below 5% (see charts below).These are very low antibody levels. Until early October, the US counted about 300,000 excess deaths, of which about 200,000 deaths were associated with covid, according to the CDC. Of these, about 82,000 or 41% occurred in care homes, according to the LTC covid-19 network.It is clear that covid in...

The holiday season is in full swing and with it usually comes long travels, great food, and a lot of time with family. But this year, the holidays look quite different. As COVID-19 cases are on the rise, a few localities, like the city of Dallas and Harris County, are advising residents to cancel their holiday gatherings. Many are even considering new shutdowns. Let’s be clear: Forcing Texans to endure another round of COVID-19 lockdowns, especially during the holidays, will do more harm than good—for both body and mind. It didn’t take long after the initial wave of government shutdowns...

A new variant of the coronavirus in Great Britain that researchers say spreads 70 percent more effectively is causing Prime Minister Boris Johnson to shutter many parts of the country for Christmas.The new strain of COVID-19 is no deadlier than the original virus, nor does it appear to make people sicker. But it does spread more easily, and that has spooked the British government into basically canceling Christmas.The researchers believe the vaccine developed by Pfizer will still be effective, but scientists are scrambling to confirm that.CNN:According to Whitty, the new variant is responsible for 60% of infections in London, which...

For at least seven years, many when his father was vice president, Hunter Biden pursued a lucrative deal to run an investment firm founded by millions of dollars from a Chinese partnership. Joe Biden claims he never spoke with Hunter about his dealings, and never profited from any group his family set up, but e-mails and text messages found on Hunter Biden’s old laptop hard drive — first published by The Post — show “the big guy” being referenced repeatedly. A federal investigation into Hunter is ongoing, and Republicans vow to continue to probe how Hunter profited off his father’s...

On a Thursday in August in Louisville, months before the 2020 election, a parade of cars filled with Kentucky Teamster representatives and labor groups, showed their fury at Mitch McConnell’s constant blocking of critical COVID aid. They drove by McConnell’s office raucously honking and bearing signs saying “Mitch better have my money.”In 2017, a Public Policy Polling Survey asked Kentuckians, “Do you approve or disapprove of Senator Mitch McConnell’s job performance?” Only 18% approved. He clawed his rating back up to 39% on the eve of the election.So, what exactly drove these angry Kentuckians to re-elect Mitch McConnell with a...

I just discovered yesterday that I've been banned by youtube for "repeated offensive or threatening" behavior. I do no such thing...not here,not on youtube,not anywhere. Just thought I'd show you all what I wrote on the "appeals" form I sent them.Of course I don't expect the decision to be reversed.Didn't twitter just announce that they'll be banning the President if (when?) he leaves office? "I comment on videos I see connected to politics and social issues.I don't use language nearly as strong or "offensive" as much of what I see nor do I make threats of any kind.Yes,I offend people...

Donald Trump on Friday held a meeting with Sidney Powell, who was unceremoniously dropped from his legal team, to consider appointing her as special counsel for election fraud, according to a report. Powell, who was Michael Flynn's lawyer and is known for her support of wild conspiracy theories, was briefly a member of Trump's team, headed by Rudy Giuliani. On Friday, as Powell was in the White House, Giuliani joined the discussion by phone.

Peter Navarro releases 36-page report alleging election fraud 'more than sufficient' to swing victory to Trump https://washex.am/3nwaBCe. A great report by Peter. Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election. Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!

The narrator talks about regional unrest in Mongolia (massive protests, strikes, 8,000 to 10,000 detained/arrested) a few months ago, and one of the interviewers noted that similar protest is taking elsewhere in China now.The MSM conceals the brutality of China, as well as the heroic efforts of the oppressed to rid themselves of their abuses.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDYfEEcPZu8Today, I saw the thread below about blackouts and have to wonder if China will ration coal to regions that don't protest. Maybe China will let unwanted dissidents freeze unless they comply, that way China is not openly admitting to killing off those who resist. Mass...

What He Could’ve Done. Maybe an investigation of Silicon Valley billionaires ballot harvesting in black neighborhoods, for starters, and then a warrant for surveillance cameras at counting facilities in Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta and Detroit, with federal agents on hand to double check the chain of custody of boxes coming through the back door. Instead, election integrity was preserved with federal investigations to prevent nonexistent seditious activity emanating from dubious white militias. The “reckless and dangerous” mail-in ballot operation the Attorney General warned about was ignored.

https://twitter.com/RayDalio/status/1340110013122134019 It is with great pain that I am sharing with you that my 42 year old son was killed in a car crash yesterday. My family and I are mourning and processing and would prefer to be incommunicado for the time being. 7:41 PM · Dec 18, 2020

In his surprise album released Friday, rapper Eminem reaffirms his admiration for former NFL star Colin Kaepernick, comparing himself to the national anthem protestor in an expletive-filled song featuring pop star Skylar Grey.

Here is information on the use of the Metro to get in and out of DC. It is fairly easy to use. I have used it several time, the last was on November of 2019. Washington, DC’s Metro is one of the busiest public transportation systems in the country. Its expansive network of tunnels and above ground tracks connect all four quadrants of DC with suburban Virginia and Maryland. The system is heavily used by local commuters and it’s a popular, convenient and affordable way for visitors to DC to get around the region.Find information about the Washington, DC Metro...

Tropicana orange juice is under fire after a cheeky ad campaign that suggested parents stash the ingredients for a mimosa in fridges around the house to take a break. The ad was found to be offensive by many social media users, including a sobriety group. The new ad campaign, which has since been shut down, was targeted at stressed out parents who've been home with their kids throughout the quarantine and asked them to #TakeAMimoment for themselves. But some commenters on Twitter were offended, pointing out that the idea of drinking in secret from your family is probably not the...

Vote reparations would empower us to replace oppressive institutions with life-affirming structures of equality.Black votes in this country are worth less than white votes. Joe Biden won the Electoral College because Black voters in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia turned out in significant numbers. But even with overwhelming Black support—94 percent of Detroit voted for Biden!—the outcomes in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were worryingly close.One core problem is the Electoral College. Wyoming, which has just 580,000 residents and is 93 percent white, gets three electors because of its two senators and one representative in the House. By comparison, Georgia’s...

The legendary Sarah Palin has made a touching video calling for Julian Assange to be pardoned. Palin has been an unlikely supporter of the organization, as WikiLeaks published Palin’s own hacked emails during the 2008 election while she was a presidential candidate.“Hey this is Sarah Palin up in Alaska and I am the first one to admit when I make a mistake,” Palin begins in the video. “I made a mistake some years ago, not supporting Julian Assange — thinking that he was a bad guy, that he leaked material that perhaps he shouldn’t — and I’ve learned a lot...

China is suffering mass power cuts in the south, prompting cities to dim street lights, suspend factory production and tell office blocks to turn off heating unless the temperature falls below 3C. The electricity crisis appears to have been prompted by a shortage of coal after Beijing banned imports from Australia. China imposed trade bans against Australia after Canberra demanded an inquiry into the origins of coronavirus and criticised Beijing’s treatment of the people of Hong Kong.

Anyone in Wichita feeling the earthquakes? We’ve had 4 in the past hour.
