He says Dr. Steve Pieczenik (the one who made the infamous claim of watermarked ballots) likely had something to do with him being fired by InfoWars and Alex Jones. The GOOD NEWS: He is starting a new show on various platforms. He just needs some time to set it up: Update from David Knight ...

Maybe I'm alone here, but I feel like I learned a lot of dark lessons this year. I thought I was already cynical and anti-government enough already back in 2019. Little did I know. What did you learn in 2020 that you didnt know before?

The Deep State Democrat globalists never imagined Trump would fight this hard against the massive election fraud that made Biden the pretend president. The Deep State is freaking out, and this is why so many on both sides are calling for Trump to give up. He’s NOT going to simply give into massive fraud. Newman says, “I think the Deep State is very, very concerned about what President Trump might be thinking. The President is clearly promising to fight.

ONLY GOD GIVES PEACE The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. Psalm 29:11 One of the greatest ways God speaks to us and leads us is through the inner witness. In other words, we just know inside what is right or wrong. It is a deeper level of knowing than "head knowledge". This type of knowing is in the spirit...we simply have peace or a lack of peace. By the presence or absence of peace, we know what we should do. I once spoke with a woman...

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. ( I John 4:18-19)Do Not Fear for I am with you, Be not anxious for I am your God. I will uphold you, surely I will help you, surely I’ll deliver you with my righteous right hand…” (Isaiah 41:10)When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do...

@RepThomasMassieNDAA Veto override will likely happen on Dec. 28th with 50+ Democrats voting by proxy (from home). If constitutionality of proxy voting is going to be challenged, this could be the vote to do it on. Members could deprive Pelosi of a physical quorum by refusing to vote that day.

Virginia’s new driver privilege cards for noncitizens bring a mix of relief and anxiety to advocates of immigrants rights. Immigrants that have entered the U.S. unlawfully can apply for these cards starting Jan. 1, 2021, according to Virginia’s Department of Motor Vehicles. For years activists have been pushing for the permit, arguing it was a matter of public safety, according to WTOP news partner NBC Washington. The first General Assembly controlled by Democrats in a generation passed the legislation back in March...

Trump-supporting lawyer Sidney Powell is going after the Republican Party for failing to back the president’s attempts to challenge the presidential election results. Powell, who has led a number of cases challenging the results in several states and raising accusations of fraud, took to Twitter to quote a story about the Republican Party opposing incoming Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville from joining an attempt to suspend the tally of the Electoral College vote next month. “WOW. The #Republican party is history,” Powell tweeted. “It committed suicide So out of touch-they don’t get #TrumpWon. Not #GOP Patriots will create a new one...

When Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on October 1, 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) stood before the tremendous task of rebuilding the state on the basis of Soviet-style Communist principles. Yet despite their desire to create a new China, Communist leaders drew on old political and social traditions which brought about a hybrid of ancient imperial policies and Communist doctrines. Other Chinese states, such as the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan as well as Singapore, have also incorporated traditional values and ideas into their state-building process. It is the purpose of...

SolarWinds, the company that fell victim to a devastating cyber attack in March, is owned by Silver Lake and Thoma Bravo. Until 2015, Silver Lake owned SunGard, an IT company with a data center virtually in the same location where the Nashville Christmas Day bomb exploded yesterday. On Christmas morning, police responded to a “shots fired” call and came upon a strange RV that was close to an AT&T building on near Second Avenue and Commerce street. The police did not find any evidence of a shooting, so they called in the bomb squad. About 30 minutes later, the RV...

One of the things that irked me the most about most Republicans and even many conservatives over the past four years is their support of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. They would often tout his ability to get Trump-nominations, particularly in the judiciary, pushed through at a “record” pace. He was simply doing the most basic requirement of his job. Praising him for getting nominations on the book is like praising a middle manager at small company for writing an employee schedule every week.McConnell’s opportunity to shine came when Republicans held control of the House, Senate, and White House from...

America is facing a generational crisis where younger people have no wealth built up and lack the financial literacy to do so, said Kevin O’Leary, star of Shark Tank and chairman of O'Shares ETFs. “In America today, there’s 100 million people that have nothing set aside for retirement,” O’Leary said. “That is a failure of financial literacy that started as far back as the 1970s.” Reform needs to happen at the educational level, O’Leary said. “We really need to change the curriculum in high school, at the ages of 13 and 14, to start to explain how a credit card...
