My friend Kevin tested Covid19 positive yesterday. He is a man who loves Jesus and is a key mand in helping get supplies to our hospitals and first responders. We have not heard from him since yesterday. Prayers up for Kevin please.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio danced with his wife in Times Square before midnight on New Year’s Eve while keeping the rest of New York out of the famed plaza for the first time history as he enforced coronavirus restrictions. De Blasio had closed off Times Square to the hundreds of thousands who typically gather in Times Square, Reuters reported:

The office of Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes released a prolific offender after an assault arrest with no charges. That suspect then nearly stomped a separate man to death just a few hours later with kicks “so forceful and loud” a witness heard it from inside a car. Holmes’ office blames “proof issues” for denying an original charge against the suspect. But the incident report reveals a different story. This is the latest in a long list of cases highlighting the city’s light-on-crime approach that will get someone killed. Holmes bears the responsibility. How many victims must Holmes create before...

Democrats are outraged that Republicans are planning on objecting to the certification of electoral votes. It’s “conspiracy and fantasy,” says Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. “The effort by the sitting President of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic,” the New York Democrat said. “The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting.” “This is America. We have elections. We have results. We make arguments based on the fact and reason—not conspiracy and fantasy,” he added. There’s only one problem with Chucky’s “argument based on fact and reason.” Democrats have...

The Buffalo Bills have a good season. At the moment they are 12-3 and that leads to post season play. King Andrew wants to go. As you know, fans have largely been prohibited from attending NFL games this year. New York has not allowed fans into the NFL stands this year. But King Andrew wants to goGov. Andrew Cuomo floated the idea of opening up Buffalo’s Bills Stadium to a limited number of fans — if the upstate New York team makes it to the NFL playoffs this year.The governor — an admitted Bills fan — said that decision depends...

The caller, identified as “Bob from West Hartford,” hit a nerve when he dialed into Gov. Ned Lamont’s Jan. 9 appearance on WTIC-1080 AM with morning hosts Ray Dunaway and Joe D’Ambrosio. “Hi Governor Lamont. In the most recent [state] budget you diverted $170 million out of gas taxes in the Special Transportation Fund,” Bob said. “That’s a myth that gets perpetrated day-in and day-out,” Lamont responded. “There is no diversion taking place, so you can put that one to rest.” Not so fast, governor. Although Lamont and fellow Democrats insist the diversion charge is a “myth,” the truth is...

Dear friends, January 6th is quickly approaching and what will become of our nation is yet to be seen! One thing we all know is that we as a people, nation and world are indeed on the brink of the Day of the Lord (Matt. 24; Rev. 6-19)! We at present are indeed a drunken nation adrift; staggering, confused, immoral deceived; self-inflicting, oblivious and doomed! All warnings from our Founding Fathers; men of faith and those of like mind have been totally rejected by the majority of the D.C. Swamp (Red Democrats and Republicans), Americans and conservatives alike. Dear friends,...

@paulsperry_Why does Joe Biden always have to have his wife Jill at his side in public appearances and interviews like some hand-holder or nursemaid? Does he propose giving her a seat at Cabinet meetings?

Dear Friends, In light of January 6th, let us hear from the ghosts of our American past and their warnings to us in 2021. One of the most remarkable observations in the study of history is the caution and warnings that are always given by Founders of great civilizations. It seems that those who lay foundations for great civilizations are quite aware of the seeds of pride, selfishness, and contention in human nature which over time usually begin to manifest themselves in society--even good societies. These Founders, realizing the tendency of human nature to degenerate, have always closed their public...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that voting to certify the presidential election results will be "the most consequential I have ever cast," in a Thursday morning conference call, first reported by Axios.

Josh Hawley just tweeted that he’s still fighting, today on New Year, for those $2k stimulus checks that Mitch is blocking: Josh Hawley @HawleyM I am headed to the Senate floor try again to try one last time to pass $2000 in #covid relief for working families - our strong working Americans deserve it https://mobile.twitter.com/HawleyMO/status/1345055369706549248 I say , thanks Josh but let’s realistic and give it up. Mitch isn’t going to budge. If we want stimulus from him we need to move to Pakistan or get a job with a defense contractor

California’s most vulnerable immigrants have faced unprecedented challenges this year, with some weighing whether it’s worth staying in the United States altogether. Ten months of a pandemic that has disproportionately sickened immigrants and devastated some of the industries that rely on immigrant labor, combined with years of anti-immigrant policies by the Trump administration have exacerbated insecurities for undocumented people and immigrants working low-wage jobs across California.

A Chicago Teachers Union leader is facing criticism for vacationing in the Caribbean while at the same time claiming it’s unsafe for teachers to return to the classroom. Sarah Chambers is on the union’s executive board and is an area vice president. As recently as Thursday, she tweeted to rally special education teachers not to return to work Monday because it’s unsafe. Just a few hours earlier, Chambers posted a picture on Instagram that appears to show her pool side in Puerto Rico and talking about going to Old San Juan for seafood

It's a one minute video. If you still think Biden has a snowball's chance in hell of being President you really really need to turn off Laura Ingraham. I stated with 100% confidence on Nov 8 Trump will remain our President, and never doubted for a second. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3903454/posts

Dr. Anthony Fauci said it’s possible that COVID-19 vaccines will become mandatory in order to travel to other countries or attend school. “Everything will be on the table for discussion,” Fauci, who will be chief medical adviser to President-elect Joe Biden, told Newsweek. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases stressed that it’s “not up to me to make a decision,” but added that “these are all things that will be discussed [under the Biden administration].” “I’m not sure [the COVID-19 vaccine] going to be mandatory from a central government standpoint, like federal government mandates,” Fauci...

The Senate will vote on overriding President Trump's veto of the National Defense Authorization Act, the must-pass annual defense policy bill, setting up a final challenge for congressional Republicans to oppose Mr. Trump in the waning days of his presidency.

The House of Representatives is asking a court to reject a petition from Republicans that requests judges to say Vice President Mike Pence has the authority to reject some electoral votes. “This Court should reject plaintiffs’ effort to overturn Congress’s centuries-old role in counting electoral votes and resolving disputes about them in the constitutionally mandated Joint Session,” the House said in an amicus brief on Dec. 31. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans this week sued Pence, asking a judge to authorize Pence to pick Republican electors over Democratic ones. They said the U.S. Constitution gives Pence the “exclusive...

By: Hassan.Mahmoudi The presidential elections of the Islamic Republic of Iran will take place on June 18, 2021. The presidency has already turned into a war between the factions of Khamenei and Rouhani with two different strategies for the survival of the mullahs’ regime. Khamenei, by appointing Raisi as head of the judiciary and Qalibaf as head of the legislature has taken two steps towards gaining total control and is now taking the next step by putting the engineering for the head of the executive branch, the President, on the agenda of organizations and institutions affiliated with him. Fear of...
