It’s just the flu, bro. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/coronavirus-updates-stimulus-checks-delayed-until-next-week-california-will-likely-extend-stay-at-home-orders-stocks-soar-to-records/ar-BB1cjmFt The above Coronavirus news update highlights three things: 1.stimulus checks increased from 600 dollars to 2000 dollars - this is a step toward the commie dream of universal basic income. I know of many people who refused to work because they didn’t want a “pay cut”. This behavior is also significant in other Western Countries too. This check doesn’t help the USA avoid socialism. 2.California extends lockdown by 3 weeks - and I bet they will extend again and again. Newsom is an idiot and the only hope is the courts if anyone wants...

Nearly everyone has seen the classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption." Well, it turns out there is a real life "Red" Redding, the character played by Morgan Freeman. He is in prison in Alabama. He has been there for nearly 40 years. He was guilty of his crime: a murder he committed as a teenager in a drug operation. But so many people who have interacted with Rutledge in prison see the similarities in character with Red. He grew up in a broken home with a father he never knew. His mother was a child of 13 years old and was...

How rigged is the system in Georgia? – So rigged that state judges rule that it is illegal for election officials to purge out-of-state voters from the voter rolls. Check out this story: From the story at Politico: A federal judge in Georgia on Monday ordered two counties to reverse a decision removing more than 4,000 voters from the rolls ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate. The judge, Leslie Abrams Gardner — the sister of former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a prominent ally of President-elect Joe Biden who has led voter...

Reagan wrote about this earlier today about how the House speakership of Nancy Pelosi could be in danger. The Democratic House majority will be smaller next Congress. Democrats lost seats they weren’t expecting in the 2020 election. Similar disappointment marks how liberal America faired down-ticket this cycle, which puts a huge damper on the national election results. Pelosi surely didn’t expect that members of her delegation from the California suburbs would have to update their resumes come January. So, she really has no cushion for error here. The same goes for any legislation the Democrats want to pass in the...

This year was a disaster in just about every respect, but nothing compares to the overall disaster that is the media. Informing the public and seeking the truth took a backseat to agenda pushing and straight-up advocacy. While everyone in the media soiled themselves this year, to one degree or another, some people are just so awful they deserve special recognition.Joy Reid. Liberals fail up. There’s really no other explanation as to why this conspiracy theorist who only takes a break from lying to would get a new show on MSNBC. The fraud who lied about her blog being hacked...

Shame on all of us for allowing mass hysteria and stupidity to ruin our lives, and the lives of children.

Perhaps more is going on than I can see, but what is visible to 75 million Trump supporters, those who have endured ridicule and scorn for supporting their president, is that nothing is happening. This is Trump’s administration and he’s the boss... *snip* The buck stops with him. If nothing is happening, then that’s on him. Is he flailing away in a vain attempt to win a second term? *snip* At one level it sure seems that way. The clock is ticking with important electoral dates breezing by, getting ever closer to the final date of Jan. 20? On the...

The above image will undoubtedly be disturbing to most Americans. Some will be inclined to laugh it off. Some will take it more seriously. If we look at maps of Latin-America (Central and South America) this is exactly what they look like. In short, Latin-America looks a lot like Europe with large land masses broken up into multiple smaller countries. Even Brazil, the largest Latin-American nation, only takes up a fraction of South America. Only in Anglo-America (North America situated north of the Rio Grande) do we see the phenomenon of a two singular nations, stretching continent-wide, from ocean to...

A man on the scene shot the robbery suspect in the chest and abdomen, police said. It is not clear if the man was the owner, employee, or another customer. Police said the shooter, 29, had a valid concealed carry permit. The robbery suspect was transported in critical condition to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The House voted Monday evening to override President Donald Trump’s veto of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, in a 322-87 vote, including more than 100 Republicans. Two-thirds of the House was needed to override Trump’s veto, and the House passed that threshold, with 109 House Republicans joining Democrats voting to override Trump and 20 Republicans not voting. Trump last week vetoed the annual bill, which authorizes Pentagon activities and $740 billion in spending for 2021, over the absence of a provision to rescind Section 230, which grants big tech companies immunity from lawsuits, as well as provisions including one...

A federal judge on Monday ordered two Georgia counties to reverse a decision removing thousands of voters from the rolls ahead of Jan. 5 runoff elections that will determine which political party controls the U.S. Senate.The counties seemed to have improperly relied on unverified change-of-address data to invalidate registrations, the judge, Leslie Abrams Gardner, said in her order filed late on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia.“Defendants are enjoined from removing any challenged voters in Ben Hill and Muscogee Counties from the registration lists on the basis of National Change of Address data”, Gardner...

Join with fellow FREEPERS to pray for PRESIDENT TRUMP and VICE PRESIDENT PENCE and for AMERICA: Government, Family, Military, Business, Education, Churches, and the Media. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1 JOHN 5:14 Religion Forum threads labeled [Prayer] are closed to debate of any kind. And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

California was placed under a new set of strict lockdowns earlier this month, courtesy of Gov. Gavin Newsom. Californians have since decided to look at Newsom as a role model and have largely ignored the latest order. According to mobility trend data collected from cellphones by Google, California residents have returned to the level of outside-the-home activities seen in November, before Newsom’s latest lockdown order. After an initial dip, visits to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, retail stores, and workplaces have rebounded to November levels. **SNIP** And then, of course, there is Newsom himself. In November, California residents watched as their...

Scotty, the chief engineer on the fictional U.S.S. Enterprise who was always scrambling to heed the cry, “Beam me up, Scotty!” has been transported himself. The ashes of James Doohan, the actor who portrayed the original “Star Trek” character Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, have been interred for a dozen years on the International Space Station (ISS). And on Monday, the backstory of how they came to be there was revealed in full....

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a rising star in the Democratic Party who was recently considered for a position in President-elect Joe Biden's cabinet, is coming under fire for her administration's handling of a surge in violent crime in her city. Saying she was 'open to suggestions' on stopping the crime wave, the mayor was on the defensive over the holiday weekend after three people were fatally shot in the city, bringing Atlanta's homicide count to its highest in more than two decades. A 7-year-old girl who was shot in the head by a stray bullet after Christmas shopping with...

Interesting thoughts. Here's the bottom line, Patriots: We are in a Great Battle. The winner will control the fate of history for all time - and the stakes couldn't be higher. Who will win this EPIC BATTLE of Good vs. Evil...?! Let's travel down this VIRAL MIND-BLOWING Rabbit Hole, shall we now, Patriots?!

"Is Christ's work finished? Is God's word true? Yes, verily. Then, if I simply trust therein, I am pardoned, justified, and accepted. All my sins were laid on Jesus when He was nailed to the cursed tree. Jehovah made them all meet on Him. He bore them and put them away; and, now, He is up in heaven without them. This is enough for me. If the One who stood charged with all my guilt is now at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens, then, clearly, there is nothing against me. All that divine justice had against...

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will try to pass legislation on Tuesday to increase the amount of the stimulus checks included in a recently signed coronavirus package from $600 to $2,000. Schumer’s effort, which he announced on Monday night, comes after the House passed the legislation in a bipartisan 275-134 vote, kicking the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate. “Tomorrow I will move to pass the legislation in the Senate to quickly deliver Americans with $2,000 emergency checks. Every Senate Democrat is for this much-needed increase in emergency financial relief, which can be approved tomorrow if no Republican blocks it...
