Republicans are hoping for high in-person turnout on Tuesday as their party's control of the Senate hangs in the balance. Democrats' get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of Tuesday's runoff election in Georgia appear to be lagging behind those in the November general election. To date, the early voting numbers are below the 2020 election figures. "When we start early voting today, we have every belief that we're going to see a turnout that is unlike anything Georgia has seen," former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, director of the voting rights organization Fair Fight, said on Dec. 14. "We have the investment. We...

Project Veritas released a new video today exposing the Executive Director for Atlanta’s Central Outreach and Advocacy Center (COAC), Kimberly Parker, admitting to the organization’s routine practice of registering homeless people to vote using the same address. “So, the majority of the people we serve don’t have an address, so we allow them to use our address if they register to vote and to get Georgia State ID,” Parker said. Watch the video at the bottom of the story. VIDEO AT LINK.................... “Because you have to have proof of residence, and so although we are not a shelter, we do...

Former New York Times and Newsweek journo Kurt Eichenwald exploded in a spiteful rant on New Years’ Eve, blaming supposed “antimaskers” for the effects of the coronavirus disease. “I have so much hate in my heart tonight. My sister, widowed by COVID, has Covid because of antimaskers,” Eichenwald claimed. “About 4,000 died today; GOP says nothing. [Republican Sen. Josh Hawley] & his ilk are working to harm America. I wish them & their loved ones all the pain & misery they inflicted on this country.” The discredited mainstream media lifestyle magazine figure would go on to speak of his desire...

President Donald Trump's phone call Saturday urging Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to overturn the state's election results might have violated federal and state election laws, but it would be difficult to prosecute, legal experts said Monday. The potential violation of federal election law centers on a provision that says it is a crime for a person "who in any election for federal office knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a state of a fair and impartially conducted election process." But while some former prosecutors said that they believed the call...

Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera said Monday on “The Story” that supporters of President Donald Trump who believe that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election are listening to “propaganda.” Anchor Martha MacCallum said, “The Atlanta Journal-Constitution did a piece where the reporter said not one person on the Republican side believes Joe Biden won this race. That is a pervasive belief out there. What do you say to all that.”

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- On 25 August 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse was chased and attacked by multiple assailants while attempting to escape them. He shot and killed two of the attackers.

If Vice President Mike Pence decides not to attend Wednesday’s U.S. Senate debate over counting the electoral college votes, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley will preside instead over what promises to be a bitter, partisan battle. Grassley, a Republican, is senate president pro tempore. “I’m going to be sitting in the chair listening to what all of my colleagues have to say during that debate,” Grassley says, “and at that time will decide how to cast my vote after considering all of the information before me.” Some Republicans plan to challenge the results of the electoral college vote, claiming there’s widespread...

AMERICANS FLOCKED WEST and South in 2020, with Idaho experiencing the most inbound moves and New Jersey seeing the most outbound exoduses amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to an annual study by the moving company United Van Lines.The company's 44th annual study of customers' migration patterns – which considered states where at least 250 families moved through United Van Lines – shows that, unsurprisingly, the COVID-19 outbreak played a role in people's moving decisions. More than 25% of people who moved did so to be closer to family – a significant increase compared to previous years, according to the company.

NEW: Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate president pro tempore, says he and not Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the certification of Electoral College votes, since "we don't expect him to be there." Grassley said he will listen to debate and that "it would be really wrong for me to say I have my mind made up." Grassley's office clarifies that he was meaning to explain what would happen if Pence had to step away during Wednesday's proceedings to count Electoral College votes. "Every indication we have is that the vice president will be there," Grassley's office...

It’s easy to understand Donald Trump’s disappointment and anger as he witnesses the overthrow of his transformational presidency. What he managed to build in just three quarters of a single term, against all odds, battling an unprecedentedly rabid opposition party, a nasty no-not-you faction within his own party, and a corrupt press corps which has redefined the term “media bias” and further weaponized junk science, was nothing short of astounding. The stuff of Nobel Peace Prizes were his name not Trump. To watch it all being torn down, not by popular demand, not even by a failed strictly-partisan impeachment, but...

@thehill Georgia voter: "I have been a lifelong Republican. This is the first time I've ever voted for a Democratic candidate just because there are issues regarding our environment, regarding taxation, regarding diversity issues and so forth that I think need to be addressed."

My friend buried her husband today. He didn’t die from COVID, but he died all alone, a few days after Christmas. Here in the wasteland of fear that California has become if you enter a hospital, you may never be seen again. Nobody can visit. If you’re too unwell to have the strength to communicate via FaceTime or Zoom, you will miss any possible comfort from, or communication with, those who care about you in your last moments. The same is true for those in nursing homes who have suffered for so long. California is shut down tight, the populace...

2020 punctuated the generations-long decline of our republic. Will that half of America that sent Trump to drain the swamp care anymore after believing themselves disenfranchised in 2020?“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.” Never has...

As we’ve seen, proving election fraud is difficult. Often, the data is in the hands of Democrat politicians and bureaucrats who refuse to make it available. Additionally, computers mean that a lot of suspected changes take place invisibly and, even if the Democrat pols and bureaucrats allowed a deep dive into the computer systems, it can be impossible to track what happened. However, the one thing that cannot be hidden is negative vote counts. In a system that adds votes, irrefutable evidence that Trump kept having thousands of votes subtracted would prove that the system was being manipulated.On January 3,...

The president of North Dakota State University has offered an apology to the campus community and proposed a “plan of action” to help fight campus racism. President Dean Bresciani suffered the wrath of student activists who, in early December, had demanded more action against racist hate speech. Bresciani’s response to a racist Snapchat incident was called “completely unacceptable” and “horrible” by at least one student. Not helping Bresciani’s case with the activists — despite it being 100 percent correct — was his pointing out that the university is limited by the First Amendment as to what sanctions it can mete...

And how they further the dark purpose of the BDS movement. While the pandemic greatly disrupted campus activities in 2020, the student governments of at least three universities managed to focus their efforts to pass BDS resolutions, bills that asked their respective universities to divest from holdings of companies doing business with Israel. At the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, that school’s resolution “called on the university to divest from Northrop Grumman, Raytheon Company, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar Inc. and Elbit Systems Ltd. for what the resolution alleges is partaking in human-rights violations in the Palestinian territories. . . .” Additionally,...

Some of us who smelled a rat from the outset of “the Pandemic”—a catchall term that has been used by the power- and ratings-obsessed to justify all manner of illegality and immorality—find ourselves struggling over how, assuming that there ever will be a restoration of some semblance of pre-COVID normalcy, we can, or even should, resume relationships with those of our friends, relatives, and members of our local communities who chose months ago to sever real, live contact with us for fear of contracting “The Virus” which, judging from their actions, is as uniquely contagious as it is deadly. As...

All politics have consequences. But few political issues are as consequential as immigration because it alone raises that all-important question: "Who are we?" Immigration policy determines whether America exists as a coherent political unit, a home to a people sharing an identity and national destiny, or as "only a geographical expression" in the fashion of pre-unification Italy, where principalities and powers vied over a space known incidentally as the Italian peninsula. Rending Italy from the hands of petty princes formed an essential part of Niccolò Machiavelli's life work, for only a unified Italy could resist evils from within and without....
