Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has scored a decisive election victory to win a sixth term, the country’s election commission said on Saturday, but his main rival Bobi Wine denounced the results as fraudulent and urged citizens to reject them. The 76-year-old Museveni, in power since 1986 and one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, dismissed the allegations of fraud in an evening address to the nation, saying Thursday’s election may turn out to be the “most cheating free” in Uganda’s history. The Electoral Commission said final counts showed Museveni won 5.85 million votes, or 58.6%, while Wine had 3.48 million votes (34.8%)....

Prosecutors in Georgia are moving closer to opening a criminal investigation into President Donald Trump, according to The New York Times. Fulton County's new district attorney, Fani Willis, is seriously considering whether to launch an official inquiry into Trump's attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 Election, the paper reported. Willis has also deliberated over whether to hire a special assistant to oversee the inquiry, sources told the Times. The calls for Trump to be investigated have come from watchdog groups and Democratic lawmakers. Earlier this month, the sole Democrat on Georgia's state election board, David Worley, called on...

As the FBI continues to arrest dozens of people allegedly involved in the Capitol Building riot earlier this month ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, it was just four years ago when similar rioting took place throughout Washington, D.C., as newly-inaugurated President Donald Trump began his term. Only then, instead of right-wing protesters, it was a riot dominated by supporters of anarchist groups like Antifa and left-wing organizations including Black Lives Matter. Video footage that was taken the morning of Trump’s inaugural shows black-clad mobs occupying streets, smashing storefront windows, attacking police officers, overturning trash cans, and generally causing mayhem...

Despite the fact that satellites and drones can provide an eagle-eyed view to remote regions of the world for the United States military and intelligence community (IC), an aircraft design older than its pilots continue to serve a crucial role in intelligence gathering. It is the sixty-year-old Lockheed U-2. Initially projected to have an operational life of just two years, this aircraft has been flying high for more than six decades and has been present in every American conflict since.

Think about it carefully…. 25,000 troops needed at the U.S. Capitol to install the Biden administration. How many armed soldiers do you need at the inauguration of the “most popular Presidential candidate in American history after the most secure election in history?” WASHINGTON DC – As many as 25,000 National Guard troops will be in Washington, D.C., for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration next week, the Army confirmed on Friday. The Defense Department authorized up to 25,000 service members — an increase of 5,000 from numbers confirmed earlier this week — to support the “federal law enforcement mission and security preparations”...

Operation Detachment: Starting January 20, 2021The time has come where we do not accept the hostile takeover of our country, but we must accept the current position we are in. War has been declared on us – openly by certain officials in power. Those that once thought war was coming have either come to realize we now exist in a bellicose realm, else they are already lost – waiting for their inevitable fate.But there are the remnant among us - 75 million strong - who have not and will not surrender. We are looking forward; looking for answers. We are...

Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson joined Greg Kelley last night to talk about President Trump’s next moves when he is expected to leave office next week. Emerald says Trump is “out for blood” and ready to help primary the anti-Trump haters from the party. “It goes back to what Fred said. There were some things that happened to the president that just were unnecessary. It was bad advice. It was bad personnel.” The demonic left tried to destroy Trump and remove him from his base. It didn’t happen despite the committed coup against this president since before he took office, and...

THE BIBLICAL LAST DAYS by Charles Meek Years ago, when I began studying the Bible seriously, I decided to "test all things" to see if what I was being taught about Christian doctrine was correct, as the Bible itself instructs us to do in 1 Thessalonians 5:21. I wanted to know and to teach the truth, even if the truth was contrary to my previous assumptions. I did extensive studies of all the popular doctrines of classical Christianity, including: the evidence for God, the divinity of Christ, the Trinity, the atonement, the resurrection, the inspiration of Scripture, the sinful nature...

Today is a tremendous milestone for the Gab community. After over a year of work Gab is finally migrated to our own in-house servers. If you talk to anyone in the technology industry they will tell you that this is no easy task. Most technology startups have the luxury of using third-party cloud hosting providers like Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and others.Gab does not have this luxury.Over the past four years we have been banned from multiple cloud hosting providers and were told that if we didn't like it we should “build our own.”So, that's exactly what we did.Gab isn't...

A new name became familiar to most of Americans this last week. His name is John Sullivan. He is a left-wing radical activist an agitator who stirred up trouble on January 6 of the United States Capitol. In this video, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik and the host unravel for us who it is that is behind John Sullivan and people like him.The video is a little bit funny in that it has an animated character in it, but I think that’s probably because the person hosting doesn’t want his face known. That’s the kind of fear...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said the Senate should consider removing Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) via the 14th Amendment over their objections last week to the Electoral College results. Speaking to PBS's "Firing Line" on Friday night, Manchin said the Senate should explore the option after a violent mob, riled up by President Trump and convinced by Republicans such as Hawley and Cruz that the election was fraudulent, ransacked the Capitol in one of the darkest points in American democracy. "That should be a consideration," Manchin responded when asked if the 14th Amendment should be triggered. "He...

The deadly siege on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has prompted U.S. security officials to think the unthinkable as they scramble to secure Washington ahead of next week’s Inauguration: that the enemy is already inside the house. More than a dozen law enforcement officers and current and former military officials are reported to have taken part in the violent Jan. 6 insurrection that killed a U.S. Capitol Police officer and cost four supporters of President Donald Trump their lives. One Navy and two Air Force veterans are among those being investigated by law enforcement for the attack, as is...

I was struck by Dennis Prager's comparison of "Good Germans" with "Good Americans," but I now think it misses the mark.The true comparison is West Berliners to East Berliners.In the United States, we have families split between open Red States and closed Blue States. In open Red states, one can go out to dinner at local restaurants and bars, get haircuts and manicures, go to parks and theaters. In closed Blue states, there are curfews and fines, travel restrictions and quarantines, "essential" workers and everyone else.The Democrat party erected a wall between Red and Blue states, literally overnight. If you...

Critics of the sweeping actions argue, rightly, that censorship violates not only First Amendment freedoms but also the spirit of the law protecting internet service providers from liability. But this isn’t censorship. Rather, it’s part of the strategic logic of mass conflict. The leadership of the political, corporate, and cultural establishment that today rules America shut down the communications of those against whom they are waging war. *snip* Jan. 6 was indeed a big deal, but not for the reasons the regime gives publicly. From its perspective, what Hawley did was much more dangerous when he officially questioned the integrity...
