The "Wild" Washington celebrations Trump wants. What will that be? Marches, Protests, Speeches, Petitions? I hope it will be public hangings. I hope he restores public hanging. Hangings for people like Comey, Brenan, Biden, Hillary, Roberts, etc. All the traitors to the country that had a four year rolling coup. How many gallows are they now erecting? Will lampposts do? It's not about the need for more lection fraud evidence, or to have the evidence shown to enough people. The people in power know there is a ton of evidence and are trying their darndest to avoid it. They are...

Sources in the Trump administration confirmed to National File that President Donald Trump’s most vocal advocates within the White House have determined that both U.S. Code and the Constitution contain language that requires Vice President Mike Pence to reject unlawful Electoral College certificates, but Pence must act by no later than Wednesday, December 23.

Oregon has lifted capacity limits on religious gatherings following a series of US Supreme Court orders that indicated Oregon’s restrictions were likely unconstitutional. The change was made in the “Sector Risk Level Guidance Chart” of restrictions published by the Oregon Health Authority in a low-profile footnote that “Capacity limits for faith institutions are recommended only.” Although the Governor’s COVID-19 website has not been updated as of this morning, OHA documents say this change was effective Friday, December 18, 2020. Other requirements, such as maintaining six feet of social distance between households, regular sanitation, and wearing masks are still applicable. This...

Shocking details of the giant bill passed by both the US Senate and the US House of Representatives on Tuesday exposes how civil servants in DC view their host, the American Taxpayer, including one amendment that was attached to the spending bill that would limit the President’s Constitutional authority as Commander and Chief. In a shocking power grab the power-drunk office dwellers hid in the 5,893-page bill a provision that says: “Nullifies the President’s use of the Insurrection Act.”

District officials in San Diego evidently believe that the practice of grading students based on average scores is racist.K-12 students in large public school districts across the country spent much of the fall semester at home, a less-than-ideal result of the COVID-19 pandemic. But Zoom learning was hardly the only significant change to the education system. Some school districts are embracing trendy but dubious ideas about how to fight racism in the classroom. The San Diego Unified School District, for instance, moved this fall to abolish its traditional grading system. Students will still receive letter grades, but they won't reflect...

With these words, King Abdallah II of Jordan solemnly reaffirmed the role of the royal family as guardian of the Christian holy places in his so-called "Speech from the Throne" on Thursday 10 December in Amman, on the occasion of the inauguration of the 19th extraordinary session of the Jordanian Parliament.

Places of worship can legally stay open in all parts of the UK but church leaders are urging vicars and ministers to review their plans and think about whether they should, with some pastors deciding to close. Churches can stay open for services in all tiers in England, even in the new Tier 4 level which restricts people leaving their home except for essential reasons. This means families in Tier 4 could still see each other at church on Christmas Day, although would not be able to ‘mix’, interact or mingle. Churches in Wales can also remain open despite the...

Out of rabid concern about the monstrosity of a COVID "relief" bill, which seemed to benefit every illegal bum who sneaked into the U.S. and a bunch of absurd projects in OTHER countries (not the U.S.--we're only the eternal ATM machine for the world), and added tremendously to our national debt in a year the economy was dealt a serious blow from the COVID shutdowns, I emailed President Trump in the White House and told him he should VETO this bill. I actually received a reply a day later. It did not discuss any veto, but was just a generic...

"We shouldn't forget Sindona, who was found poisoned in prison"Cardinal George Pell has claimed he was framed on child sex charges by senior figures in the Catholic Church due to his work on Vatican financial reform. In an interview with Italian media channel RAI 1, Cardinal Pell, 79, alleged everyone who investigated the church’s finances had been ‘publicly attacked’. ‘All the most important people that have worked together on financial reform, every single one of us, I believe with very few exceptions, has been attacked in the media and had our reputations besmirched in one way or another,’ he told...

A 7-year-old boy saved his baby sister from their burning Tennessee home, climbing through a window from the outside into her bedroom and pulling her to safety. Chris and Nicole Davidson, both former firefighters, couldn't get to the bedroom where their 22-month-0ld daughter was because of flames in the living room, Nicole told WVLT-TV.

President Trump appeared to threaten to veto the COVID-19 stimulus package that Congress passed almost 24 hours earlier, telling lawmakers to boost checks for Americans to $2,000 as well as “get rid of wasteful and unnecessary items” in the spending bill Trump said “throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked COVID relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election…” “it’s taken forever” to get a package and the bill passed “is much different than anticipated.” “It really is a disgrace,” he added.
