While sitting in the Delta lounge in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight back to Washington, a white gentleman approached me and struck up a conversation. Politics was on his mind, and seeing me, a black woman, he was sure that he had found a kindred spirit to share his hopes that Democrats will prevail in both U.S. Senate runoff races in Georgia. I politely straightened him out, leaving him a bit in shock that he had incorrectly assumed that seeing the outside of me was sufficient information to know what is going on inside of me. Several months...

Not for long. The debt is $30 trillion and there's $33 trillion in our plans. If we couldn't win Georgia Trump's stolen argument is without air. The rats will have 2 years to do their thing. I'm too old to go out and protest or send money to the Kelly Loffers out there and the younger generation is all woke. They will proudly take us out.

Slight delay for the contest. Many have asked that we start a few minutes later. I will post the Cryptogram at 9:15 EST

The '1776 principles have led to a tremendously successful country and overcome great national trials,' Rollins noted. They 'helped make us more peaceful, more just and more prosperousIf you’ve read any leftist coverage of President Trump’s 1776 Commission, you’d have been surprised to listen in on its first meeting Tuesday. It was brief, orderly, included a wide range of voices and life experiences united by a commitment to American ideals, and commission members repeatedly emphasized their interest in avoiding partisanship and reaching out to Americans of all backgrounds and walks of life. Their goal is to unite Americans, as Trump’s...

The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) believe that primordial black holes, which formed in the early Universe, could be hidden ‘baby universes’. Primordial black holes could be responsible for some of the observed gravitational waves signals, and seed supermassive black holes found in the centre of our Galaxy and other galaxies. The team hypothesise that primordial black holes could also play a role in the synthesis of heavy elements. Kavli IPMU researchers believe that when these early black holes collide with neutron stars and destroy them, they release neutron-rich material. There is also...

There was a time when the thought of the French military using a weapon developed in another country might have been unthinkable. However, the Glock 17 will now serve in the French military. Here’s how it happened. Background While many nations have routinely adopted small arms developed in other nations, the French have always been fiercely independent – and France was among the few nations of Europe not to employ a Maxim machine gun at the outbreak of the First World War. That trend in domestically-produced infantry weapons largely continued through the Cold War era, but military leaders in Paris...

​Democrat Jon Ossoff declared victory over GOP incumbent Sen. David Perdue Wednesday morning in the second of the Senate runoff races in Georgia — despite the election not yet being formally called. “I thank the people of Georgia for electing me to serve you in the United States Senate, thank you for the confidence and trust that you have placed in me,” Ossoff said in a video on YouTube. Perdue has yet to concede.

The best way to secure public trust in the outcomes of our elections is to ensure that our elections are trustworthy. Right now, they’re not.On Wednesday, a dozen Republican senators along with more than half the Republican members of the House will raise a formal objection to Joe Biden electors during the Electoral College count certification. They will object over concerns about election integrity following widespread allegations of voter fraud, reports of irregularities in the counting of absentee ballots, and documented violations of election law in several battleground states.The corporate media have with one voice denounced these Republicans and dismissed...

According to a new study led by University College London, UK, heating cancer cells whilst they undergo chemotherapy is a highly effective method of killing them. The study, published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry B, suggests that delivering chemotherapy drugs using specialist magnetic particles is up to 34% more effective at destroying the cancer cells than traditional chemotherapy treatment. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles that carry the chemotherapy drug shed heat when exposed to an alternating magnetic field. Once the nanoparticles have accumulated in the tumour area, an alternating magnetic field can be applied from outside the body, allowing...

@realDonaldTrump States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud, plus corrupt process never received legislative approval. All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage! This claim about election fraud is disputed @RepThomasMassie No majority of any state’s legislature has asked us to reject their electors.

Two Australian anglers rescued a naked man clinging to mangrove branches over crocodile-infested waters — and later learned he was a criminal fugitive who fled into the wilderness and survived by eating snails. “Completely naked, cuts all over him, swollen feet, covered in mud,” Voskresensky allegedly removed a location-tracking ankle monitor days prior to his rescue in jumping bail on an armed robbery case

By late morning on Wednesday, at least 53 Hong Kong residents — former lawmakers, activists and an American lawyer among them — had been detained under Beijing’s new national security law, and their offices and homes raided. Accused of subversion, they face up to life in prison for holding a primary vote last year ahead of legislative elections that were ultimately postponed and which many of them were barred from contesting.

The legislative elections were boycotted by the opposition and denounced as a sham by the U.S. CARACAS, Venezuela – Nicolás Maduro was set to extend his grip on power Tuesday as the ruling socialist party prepared to assume the leadership of Venezuela’s congress, the last institution in the country it didn’t already control. Maduro’s allies swept legislative elections last month boycotted by the opposition and denounced as a sham by the U.S., the European Union and several other foreign governments. While the vote was marred by anemically low turnout, it nonetheless seemed to relegate into irrelevancy the U.S.-backed opposition led...

Though coined much earlier, the acronym RINO — "Republican in Name Only" — came into broader usage in the early 1990s by those on the extreme right to disparage members of the Republican Party whom they accused of being insufficiently "conservative." These days, though, people disparaged as RINOs are usually much more firm believers in republicanism than those deploying the so-called slur, who have commandeered control of the "Republican" Party and perfected the Orwellian art of using words to mean the opposite of what they are. Put more plainly, it is the Trump acolytes and members of the Republican Party...

Communist China is betting on a return to the status quo ante of American acquiescence to, and support of, its hegemonic ambitions through comprehensive "engagement" and outright appeasement under a Biden administration. That is the primary takeaway, if the recent remarks of Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi are any indication. In the waning days of 2020, Wang delivered a speech at the Asia Society entitled, "Reorient and Steer Clear of Disruptions for a Smooth Sailing of China-U.S. Relations." The title itself gives away the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) game: It seeks a reversion to the...

A Black Lives Matter supporter attacked a Trump supporter this evening in Washington, leaving her face bruised and bloody. When other Trump supporters demonstrating for the president’s reelection struggle stepped in to protect the victim and request that the police arrest her assailant, the police responded by pepper spraying the entire group. Look at what BLM did to this woman!!! Right in front of DC police!!! pic.twitter.com/PONmmiuZFO — KforpmurT21 (@K4queplus21) January 6, 2021 The DC Metro Police have repeatedly proven that the Blue Lives Matter movement must readjust their sights away from city cops. City cops are a different breed,...

Radicals on campus do more than just “cancel” speakers. Failure by administrators to stand firm alters the atmosphere at colleges as well as, eventually, our system of government. The most profound consequences may come less from ideological zealots than from our own cowardice to oppose them. Some colleges now respond to ideological intimidation not by defiantly defending their principles, but by devising furtive techniques to eliminate politically incorrect faculty. In a new Martin Center policy brief, Scholastic Gag Orders: NDAs, Mandatory Arbitration, and the Legal Threat to Academics, I explore how non-disparagement agreements (NDAs) and mandatory arbitration (MA) provide a...

I expect gas prices to be $5.00+ per gallon within a year. I also expect the stock market to take a big tumble.

The leader of the Proud Boys was banned from staying in Washington, D.C. until his next court hearing, a judge ruled Tuesday. Proud Boys Chairman Enrique Tarrio, 36, was charged with stealing and destroying a Black Lives Matter banner and for possessing two high-capacity firearm magazines and issued a pretrial stay away order, according to court records. Tarrio was released from jail, but is subject to arrest if he remains in the district, the judge ruled. The Proud Boys are part of the pro-President Donald Trump protests against certifying the results of the presidential election, organizers said on Twitter. The...
