U.S. troops suspect that Iran may attempt to take revenge on President Donald Trump for the death of Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani on the anniversary of the airstrike that killed Soleimani. This week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani sent a cryptic warning to Trump, gloating about Trump’s loss in the 2020 election and warning that the American president’s life “will end” in “a few days.”In a speech during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rouhani warned, “As I said after the martyrdom of Martyr Soleimani, I emphasise again that if you cut off Martyr Soleimani’s hand, we will cut off your...

L. Lin Wood, an attorney who purports to be trying to help President Trump prove the election was stolen, made some outrageous, nay, insane statements on Twitter on New Year’s Day, saying that Vice President Mike Pence is a traitor and predicting that the VP will “sing like a bird” when he faces a firing squad.The latest conspiracy theory to make the rounds (so far as I can tell) is that Pence has been surreptitiously leading the Deep State effort to remove Trump as the lawful president. The “evidence” revolves around a lawsuit filed by Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and...

Every day, states report on how many new hospitalizations they had for covid patients. During September and October, as cases were rising, we could reliably predict how many people would be hospitalized based on the number of new diagnoses. Clinically, we know that after someone is diagnosed, it usually takes a few days before they get sick enough to be hospitalized.... But as we entered November, something began to change. For instance, on Nov. 1, the Covid Tracking Project’s seven-day average showed about 80,000 new cases – which we would predict should lead to about 2,800 new hospitalizations a week...

The election was two months ago, and I'm still waiting to hear about a Democrat who beat a GOP candidate in a competitive election. On the contrary, none of the Democrats who won in 2020 have a reason to send Joe Biden "a thank you" card.There are many reasons to be skeptical about this election, but the lack of "coattails" tops my list. This is from Victoria Taft:Stories about President Trump's weak coattails were legion before the election. His likability was questioned and still is, but, what ho! Look what actually happened.After the usual midterm 2018 thrashing for the president...

Fasten your seatbelts for the new year, New York: With Democrats now boasting veto-proof supermajorities in both the Assembly and the state Senate, and several Democratic socialists joining the ranks, the left is emboldened — and that spells big trouble. “We recognize the mandate we’ve been given by voters,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins warned in November. “We will assert ourselves accordingly.” Yikes! ... Progressives feel no need to justify tax hikes, of course: Their enduring goal is to redistribute wealth, even if it makes everyone equally poor. (Recall Mayor Bill de Blasio’s assurance that the city has “plenty of...

In the aftermath of the election, the Democrats who control the election machinery in the disputed states have gone out of their way to avoid scrutiny. Americans have been inundated with stories of shredded mail-in envelopes, lost thumb drives, wiped computers, and slow-walked requests for documents that states are required to preserve for post-election reviews. No state, however, has acted with such heavy-handed desperation as Georgia when it comes to hiding ballots. We've already reported here twice about the Georgia ballots, but the story keeps developing, and there's always more to tell.On Wednesday, Susan Knox and Sally Grubbs testified before...

Anybody have any experience by using a flour/plaster of paris or flour/baking soda method to get rid of mice or kindred rodent invaders?Our kitty is pretty good, but she is still not getting them all. I do not want to risk harming Miss Kitteth with poison or glue traps. Is there a better ratio that 1 to 1?Anybody else have experience to fine tune?

The Kentucky home of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was vandalized just days after he refused to allow the upper chamber to vote on boosting stimulus checks to $2,000. ‘WERES MY MONEY’ was spray painted on the front door to McConnell’s home in the Highlands section of Louisville on Saturday. On the window adjacent to the front porch, graffiti is seen which says: ‘MITCH KILLS THE POOR.’ The vandalism was first reported by WDRB-TV. DailyMail.com has reached out to the Louisville Metro Police Department seeking comment. The spray painted message was found more than 24 hours after vandals struck the...

Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) pushed back Friday on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) characterization of $2,000 coronavirus relief payments to Americans as “socialism for the rich.” “With all due respect to my Republican colleagues, a $2k direct payment for individuals and families who are struggling is not socialism,” Graham tweeted. “In my view it is necessary in the times in which we live.” Last month, congressional leaders reached a long-sought deal on a new coronavirus package that included $600 checks for taxpayers, though both Democrats and President Trump have called for the amount to be increased to $2,000. The...

There was an article on Freerepublic in the past week and I can't find it. An anonymous teen girl is suing the UK government because it is keeping a list of people accused of "hate incidents". It is unfair because it includes people NOT convicted of a crime, and it is searchable by employers and police years later. What is the original source for that?

Madison Cawthorn, 25, wants to create 'new Republican Party' that inspires young people Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C., beat out a candidate backed by President Trump and the Washington establishment to become the youngest incoming member of Congress at age 25. So he arrived in Washington beholden to no one and determined to shake up the Republican Party through new messaging, new recruits and new ways to fundraise. "My election was really a referendum on the establishment," Cawthorn told Fox News in a recent interview. "They're really sending me up here to fight against that." Winning the seat without the help of...

If Pence is arrested, @SecPompeo will save the election. Pence will be in jail awaiting trial for treason. He will face execution by firing squad. He is a coward & will sing like a bird & confess ALL.— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) January 1, 2021

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dashed hopes that 2021 will be any better than 2020 by tweeting his support of the Great Reset.‘Build back better’ is, as Johnson is perfectly well aware, the slogan of the World Economic Forum’s deeply sinister Fourth Industrial Revolution — aka ‘the Great Reset‘ – whose aims include the deliberate crashing of the world economy, the crushing and destruction of small businesses, and the creation of a new cash-free society in which no one (save the technocratic elite) owns private property...

Somebody left Speaker Nancy Pelosi a very disturbing message to kick off the new year ... and it seems to be related to the ongoing financial struggles of millions of Americans. Pelosi's San Francisco home was vandalized overnight ... most of the damage was done to her garage door and driveway. The perp or perps spray-painted "Cancel Rent!" and "We Want Everything" in big black letters on her door ... and there's also a nod to the failed $2,000 government stimulus checks. Twitter Link .....

And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?

Epidemiologist Knut Wittkowski thinks he can answer the riddle. "Influenza has been renamed COVID in large part," said the former head of biostatistics, epidemiology and research design at Rockefeller University. "There may be quite a number of influenza cases included in the 'presumed COVID' category of people who have COVID symptoms (which Influenza symptoms can be mistaken for), but are not tested for SARS RNA," Wittkowski told Just the News on Thursday. Those patients, he argued, "also may have some SARS RNA sitting in their nose while being infected with Influenza, in which case the influenza would be 'confirmed' to...

As a Georgia voter, let me be clear to our Republican political hierarchy here in Georgia. Your political aspirations are not safe! You have angered and riled the honest, hardworking citizens of this state to cater to the RINOs and the Stacy Abrams left. We are aware of your deeds and this will not bode well for you in 1022. You are cowards, you have allowed the will of the people to be overturned. Democrats who voted for Trump were probably the most disenfranchised of the lot because their democrat affiliation mail-in votes were most likely set aside to be...
