Arizona’s 11 GOP Electors have joined a lawsuit filed in Texas to define the authority of Vice President Pence to reject Electors as his role as President of the Senate.The lawsuit, filed along with Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, asks the United States District Court for Texas’s Eastern District to “declare that Vice President Pence… has the exclusive authority to determine whether to count or not count competing slates of electors from Arizona and other contested states.” The 12th Amendment which “contains the exclusive dispute resolution mechanisms” for elections gives Pence that power as President of the Senate.Arizona GOP Chair...

The CAIFC delegation, composed of China’s former top military leaders, visited Clinton after stopping in Hawaii to meet...

"Both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, 'I will proclaim Thy name to My brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will sing Thy praise.' And again, 'I will put My trust in Him.' And again, 'Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me'" (Heb. 2:11-13). Our holy Christ has made us holy; thus He can now call us His brothers. From our own perspective and experience, it is difficult to think of ourselves as holy. Sin simply...

A press release from a Pennsylvania legislator made major waves yesterday. Well, it should have. It revealed clear-cut evidence of massive voter fraud that was more than enough to turn a Trump victory in the state to a narrow Biden “win” at the last moment. But it didn’t get the coverage we expected. In fact, it was skipped over completely by some of the most high-traffic conservative news outlets out there.Here’s the short version: Pennsylvania’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors, or “SURE” System, tallies the votes from each county on behalf of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. It is the...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — During reporter questions after his Monday COVID-19 briefing, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned against trying to cut in line for a coronavirus vaccine. Newsom said health care providers who violate the vaccine priority guidelines will be sanctioned and that the state will be putting out details soon on how the COVID-19 vaccine hierarchy will be enforced in California.

The party has changed. We all saw this in 2016. Four years later, the transformation is complete. President Donald J. Trump is the Republican Party. Those on the Hill unwilling to fight could see themselves out of a job soon. Well, maybe not all, there are annoying folks, like Mitt Romney, who will probably represent their states for life given the demographics, but the Olympia Snowe’s of the GOP are either being primaried out or forced out. The party is more populist. It’s bluer collar. And to the liberal media’s chagrin—actually is more diverse. Trump gained among non-white voter blocs...

The New York Post editorial board over the weekend published a scathing op-ed demanding that President Trump “give it up” when it comes to trying to challenging the 2020 election. The board went on to call challenges to the integrity of the election a “dark charade” and alleged any efforts to overturn certification of the electoral college vote an “undemocratic coup.” In reality, voter fraud is an actual example of an ‘undemocratic coup,’ an irony seemingly lost on the Post’s board members. “You have tweeted that, as long as Republicans have ‘courage,’ they can overturn the results and give you...

Just days after Gov. Charlie Baker vetoed a bill that would expand abortion access in Massachusetts, the state’s Democrat-led House of Representatives has voted to override the veto. Last week, Baker, a Republican who supports abortion, elected to veto abortion legislation known as the ROE Act. The bill, which was originally included as part of the state’s budget for fiscal year 2021, would codify the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion nationwide into law and loosen abortion restrictions in the state. “I strongly support a woman’s right to access reproductive health care, and many provisions of this...

SCOTUS justices must order a new presidential election or admit they are not the guardians of the Constitution they claim to be. The U.S. Constitution states "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Providing this guarantee is one of the Supreme Court's most important duties. Vote-flipping machines and allowing the dead to vote which were reported in some states are not consistent with "a Republican Form of Government, " Ordering a new presidential election is the only practical way to deal with an election that has wide spread irregularities. The United...

It would indeed have been a Merry Christmas had Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito found a key to the governor’s office under her Christmas tree. But alas, it was not to be. Maybe next Christmas. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, rounding the corner of his second four- year term, is not going anywhere, at least for now, and especially not in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic

An Oregon salon owner who opened her business in defiance of the state's lockdown orders accused Gov. Kate Brown of "retaliating" against her family in a $100,000 lawsuit, which details the damages she sustained due to extended closures and exorbitant fines issued against her.

I am asking for prayers for my sweet friend Beth. She was recently diagnosed with early stages of dementia. Beth was a tremendous source of strength and courage for me when I lost my mother to cancer back in 1997. I tried to help her as she watched her own mother languish for several years as dementia took her piece by piece. Beth worked with my husband for over 20 years until recently when she had to retire due to "episodes" brought on by the same disease that took her mom. For Christmas, I made her what I hoped was...

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is threatening to filibuster in the Senate “until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class.” In a bipartisan vote joined by dozens of Republicans on Monday, the Democrat-controlled House passed a bill to increase the amount of direct payments to Americans struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic from $600 to $2,000. “The House passed a $2,000 direct payment for working people. Now it’s the Senate’s turn,” Sanders said, calling on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to take action. “If McConnell doesn’t agree to an up or down...

Will Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi rob Iowa voters by seating Democratic House candidate Rita Hart instead of the actual election winner in Iowa's 2nd District, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks? Hart is challenging the certified election results and seeking for the U.S. House to declare her the winner. The same may occur in upstate New York, where Democratic incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi and former Republican congresswoman Claudia Tenney are separated by fewer than 20 votes. House Democrats refusing to validate certified election results in two closely contested districts is not exactly a crime. However, it certainly would rob voters in...

A source close to the investigation said Warner had bought “chemical precursors and security alarms” using a credit card in his name. The Sun was told: “The FBI has received information from a bank holding company on an active credit card for Warner. “Preliminary searches indicates the purchases of chemical precursors to make explosives and security alarms.” The source added: “Initial results also show nitroglycerin was found on a residue swab taken from a tree trunk at the blast site.” The source said: “It is believed Warner had his dog with him at the time of detonation. “Canine DNA has...

Shelly Berman improvised this monologue on New Year's Eve in 1956. Mom and Dad had the album. Every decade or so I listen to it. Berman's humor is certainly good for a hearty laugh. Hope you enjoy. A blessed Christmas and New Year to all y'all!

Did you realize that “Tiki bars are a beverage industry mainstay – with a painful and underexamined past” requiring “reclaiming” and “repair”? That’s the sour message on the front of the New York Times Sunday Business section, written and researched by Sammi Katz and illustrated in mock-retro-advertising style by Olivia McGiff. An online headline actually read “History of Tiki Bars and Cultural Appropriation.” On its eternal quest to ruin innocent pleasures, the Times is suffering a social justice hangover and is passing the headache to its readers. Meanwhile, 99% of the population will remain blissfully unaware they should beware of...

A statue of Abraham Lincoln with a freed slave appearing to kneel at his feet - optics that drew objections amid a national reckoning with racial injustice - has been removed from its perch in downtown Boston. Workers removed the Emancipation Memorial, also known as the Emancipation Group and the Freedman’s Memorial, early Tuesday from a park just off Boston Common where it had stood since 1879. City officials had agreed in late June to take down the memorial after complaints and a bitter debate over the design. Mayor Marty Walsh acknowledged at the time that the statue made residents...
