Congress cannot change powers expressly stated in the Constitution based on a voice vote... I note, today, the sudden end of that effort trying to convince us that the Vice President, the sole authority empowered under the Constitution to conduct the election on January 6th, really has no such power. The ruse intends: as his role is purely ceremonial, he has no ability to prevent frauds being practiced in our elections. Having failed in that effort... Today, instead, I hear the Congress has voted to pass new "rules" for the conduct of the election on January 6th, which rules are...

The surface transportation construction industry has long had to rely on Washington for its prosperity. We spend most years holding our breath and hoping we will receive more Federal funding to fix our crumbling roads, bridges and highway systems. Currently in the United States, 7 percent of bridges are structurally deficient, and 19 percent of major highway pavements have deteriorated. Yet, our existing financing structure has few tools to address the looming reconstruction challenges facing existing infrastructure. In 2020, Congress passed a one-year extension of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. While the one-year extension of the FAST Act...

A variant of the coronavirus identified in South Africa is more problematic than the mutation found in the U.K., Britain’s health minister said Monday, as both strains spread rapidly. Health Secretary Matt Hancock told the BBC the variant found in South Africa was especially concerning. “I’m incredibly worried about the South African variant, and that’s why we took the action that we did to restrict all flights from South Africa,” he told the BBC’s “Today” program. “This is a very, very significant problem ... and it’s even more of a problem than the U.K. new variant.” Both countries are struggling...

LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Monday a new national lockdown for England until at least mid-February to combat a fast-spreading new variant of the coronavirus, even as Britain ramped up its vaccination program by becoming the first nation to start using the shot developed by Oxford University and drugmaker AstraZeneca.

Donald Trump made a call to the Georgia Secretary of State the other day. That's where the agreement about everything ends. Right on cue, democrats are once again in the same ditch they've been in for the last four years, i.e. making a crime out of nothing. State and federal officials have called for investigations into whether President Trump violated election laws — or possibly committed other crimes — in his Saturday phone call to Georgia’s secretary of state. A recording of the one-hour call was released Sunday by the Washington Post. The president is heard pressuring Brad Raffensperger,...

Defenders of Civilization?Our grandees seem too exhausted, too guilty, or too ignorant to pass on and improve the civilization they inherited for others to come.The year 2020 witnessed a long series of writs lodged against an America beset with plague, quarantine, recessions, riot and arson, and the most contested election since 1876.What was strange was not so much the anarchist Left’s efforts in the present to wipe away the past to recalibrate our Animal Farm future. What was odder were both the absurdities of the complaints against American civilization, and the unwillingness or inability of Americans to rebut them and...

It's already been a day loaded with bombshells... and all of this was revealed before noon. Today is bombshell day for Trump supporters as multiple stories have emerged just two days before Congress is set to meet in a joint session to determine the next President of the United States. The first was a crazy, albeit plausible drop by attorney Lin Wood that tells of blackmail, sex trafficking, and pure evil. Then, data analysts revealed incontrovertible proof that over 400,000 votes for President Trump in heavily contested Pennsylvania were “disappeared” during and after Election Day. Now, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick...

California's top energy bosses soon will decide when to snuff out natural gas flames in new homes.

Ron Estes and U.S. Reps.-elect Tracey Mann and Jake LaTurner, who all endorsed Trump’s re-election, have announced their intent to support Trump’s quest to overturn the election by first delaying the process in which Congress counts Electoral College votes and certifies the winner of the presidential races. In the Kansas delegation, Republican...
