Andrew Breitbart: We didn't declare war on the Left. They declared war on us

“Where are the missing military ballots in Georgia?” President Donald Trump asked right after the election night on Twitter. “What happened to them?” In Georgia, a state official answered: There are no missing military ballots. Urban and suburban counties where Biden has allegedly outperformed Trump had the most military ballots outstanding, including Fulton with 956, DeKalb with 802, and Gwinnett with 741, according to data released on November 4th. Those could include service members anywhere in the world who are still registered in Georgia. But some strange stuff did happen in Georgia as all 900 military ballots in Fulton County...

-- abstract -- We investigate the consequences and predictors of emitting signals of victimhood and virtue. In our first three studies, we show that the virtuous victim signal can facilitate nonreciprocal resource transfer from others to the signaler. Next, we develop and validate a victim signaling scale that we combine with an established measure of virtue signaling to operationalize the virtuous victim construct. We show that individuals with Dark Triad traits—Machiavellianism, Narcissism, Psychopathy—more frequently signal virtuous victimhood, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic variables that are commonly associated with victimization in Western societies. In Study 5, we show that a...

Olivia Troye, a former aide to Vice President Mike Pence, claims she is “very concerned” about violence taking place on January 6th. Troye, who made the assertion during an appearance on MSNBC’s Deadline, added any violence that might ensue would take place because President Trump is encouraging it. “I’m actually very concerned that there will be violence on January 6th because the president himself is encouraging it,” she fretted. “This is what he does,” Troye continued. “He tweets, he incites is, and he gets followers and supporters to behave in this manner, and they believe they are being patriots because...

In his December 13, 2020 column in the London-based Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, senior Lebanese journalist Hazem Saghiya defends the countries that recently normalized their relations with Israel. These countries, he says, have crucial existential concerns and national needs of their own, and they cannot be expected to sacrifice them for the sake of the Palestinian cause, "to which nobody ascribes much importance any longer." He stressed that, although everyone recognizes the Palestinians' right to an independent state, their cause is no longer consistent with the national interests of other Arab states, and sometimes even contravenes these interests. He adds...

A researcher at the Department of Justice on Tuesday released a 25-page report indicating a high probability of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. World-renown economist John Lott Ph.D., examined election results from Pennsylvania and Georgia, as well as potential election fraud in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin. “This paper’s approach allows us to quantify how large a potential problem vote fraud and other abnormalities might be in the 2020 election,” Dr. Lott wrote. White House advisor Peter Navarro heralded Lott’s study results on Twitter:

In all Trump gave us — the good, the bad, the hilarious, and the unsettling — his administration brought much-needed clarity to the GOP and the country.At the end of his second term, amid the early retrospectives about his presidency, George W. Bush reportedly remarked, “the true history of my administration will be written 50 years from now.” It was a wise reminder that the passage of time generally yields a more honest, dispassionate analysis of events than is often allowed by the heated political present.While we are left to wonder how history will judge the last four years of...

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Becky Hammon became the first woman to direct a team in NBA history, taking over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers following Gregg Popovich’s ejection in the first half. Popovich was ejected by official Tony Brown with 3:56 remaining in the second quarter. Popovich screamed at Brown and entered the court following a non-call on DeMar DeRozan’s attempted layup and a subsequent attempted rebound by Drew Eubanks. Popovich was applauded as he exited the court by several of the team’s family members that were in attendance at the AT&T Center.

The transcript of a July 15, 2020 : https://lawflog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2020.12.30-Exhibit-8-Hersh-depositionstamped.pdfThe National Security Agency is hiding records about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, according to one of my sources, who informed me yesterday that the records are classified as a special access program (the highest level of classification) because they include intercepted communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Not even the coronavirus pandemic could slow down Florida Man in 2020. While much of the world was locking down, socially distancing and laying low for most of the year, Florida Man still found time to deliver the wacky and wild stories he's known for. Without further ado, here are the most Florida Man and Florida Woman stories of 2020:

Southern California has recorded the state's first case of the mutant 'super-COVID-19' strain, Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Do you want to have good luck this 2021? A dish in Pennsylvania could bring you that, and one ice cream shop in Harrisburg has scoops of it. Urban Churn turned sauerkraut into one of its flavors for good luck this new year. "You know, it is a perfect combination," said Brackbill, "A lot of people think sauerkraut is disgusting, but when you do add it to the dairy, it just churns the dairy to buttermilk and gives it that nice creamy, tart vanilla flavor." Owner Adam Brackbill said the flavor leaves customers pleasantly surprised. "They're thinking...

With progressive radicals Raphael Warnock and Jon Osoff on the ballot in the January Georgia Senate run-off elections — it is imperative to revisit why the coming fight matters in the first place. As is well-known, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Presley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) encompass “The Squad.” This identification came to be when AOC posted a picture on Instagram with the four lawmakers at Congressional Freshman Orientation Week — captioned on November 12, 2018. Yes, it is all so very touching. There is a reason “The Squad” have banded together, as should be transparent...

Harvard Med Postgraduate and Continuing Education @HMSPostgradCE Replying to @HMSPostgradCE The webinar panelists used the term "birthing person" to include those who identify as non-binary or transgender because not all who give birth identify as "women" or "girls." We understand the reactions to this terminology and in no way meant for it to erase or dehumanize women. From November.

2020 was one hell of a year for the country. We had an insane election, a pandemic that revealed authoritarians at every level of government, and left-wingers burning down their own cities. Socially and politically, it was a year of chaos. It wasn’t all bad however. This year for me, the editor of this publication, was an opportunity to get closer to family and build relationships. Nothing was a waste. In April, I found out my wife was pregnant and I became a father to my son in early December. I couldn’t be happier. For the Houston Courant, it was...

And added a Broken Glass Belt to the Rust Belt. Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism. Americans have $1.3 trillion in personal savings. A study published in The Economics of Disasters and Climate Change found that the coronavirus pandemic will result in between $3.2 trillion to $4.8 trillion in GDP losses. That approaches the economic output of Japan. Much of those losses were caused by the lockdowns which could result in a 60.6% fall in GDP. Governors, most of them Democrats, destroyed...
