Until today, no one has bothered to review the video footage from the TCF Center on election night. The Gateway Pundit requested the TCF video back in December! Advertisement - story continues below The TCF Center tried to quote us over $22,000 for one day’s worth of video. We requested two hours of video. Last Friday we were sent the requested video. Since last week we have been combing through the hundreds of hours of security camera footage from the TCF Center on the morning of November 4th. And what we found is a political bombshell. ** At 3:23 AM...

A voting technology company is suing Fox News, three of its top hosts and two former lawyers for Donald Trump – Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell – for $2.7bn. The lawsuit charges that the defendants conspired to spread false claims that the company helped “steal” the US presidential election, which was in fact fairly won by Joe Biden. The 285-page complaint filed on Thursday in New York state court by Florida-based Smartmatic USA is one of the largest libel suits ever undertaken. Dominion Voting Systems sues Giuliani for $1.3bn over baseless election claims Read more On 25 January, a rival...

On Tuesday, November 3rd President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in the swing state of Michigan by over 100,000 votes. This appeared to be another solid win for President Trump in Michigan with a greater margin than his 2016 victory. The ballot counting in Detroit, Michigan on election night took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall. This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP observers, and where hundreds of affidavits by election observers...

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) stated that we have to make sure teachers “feel safe” returning to school and that she doesn’t know the specific details on whether it’s safe for schools in Chicago and Washington, D.C. to re-open. Co-host Joe Scarborough asked, “Are the teachers’ unions dragging their feet too much on this?”

My brilliant late father, who would have turned 100 this week had he lived, was fond of delivering mock-pompous Johnsonian pronouncements (no, not that Johnson; I mean Samuel, of dictionary fame). Three in particular stick in my mind. The first was his reaction when I passed my 11-Plus, after I told him that school friends who'd been similarly successful in the exam had been promised bicycles by their parents. 'Bicycles, indeed!' he spluttered. 'I'd have thrashed you, my boy, if you'd failed!'

Reported infections are down an astounding 30 to 40 percent now that the political season is over Since President Biden’s inauguration, the infection rates in the COVID pandemic have plummeted by between 30 and 40 percent, a statistic that stands opposed to Joe Biden’s prediction of a “dark winter.” Reports of COVID infections and hospitalizations are on the decline around the world. Cases of the virus are down 30 percent from last in the United States alone. The United States averaged 141,146 cases per day over the past week. This is a 30 percent decline from the average two weeks...

The USS John S. McCain "broke into China's Xisha territorial waters without the permission of the Chinese government," Beijing's military said in a statement. Also, Taiwan sent fighter jets, broadcast radio warnings, deployed air defense missile systems to track PLAAF planes after breach of Taiwan's ADIZ (air defense identification zone). There is something unfolding which has “all the hallmarks of the world’s next major military drama.” “Well what a week it's been for this standoff between China and Taiwan, which we cannot ignore, and neither can the United States,” Mr Smith said. read more...

This isn’t a record – that honor is still held by Barry and Big MO – but 13 days in and we already have literally dozens of POTUS/FLOTUS cover–fluff stories. Like this: In First White House Interview, Joe & Jill Biden Talk Marriage, Family, Prayer — and the Challenges Ahead. Ground breaking material. From the neck down Dr. Jilly could pass for Nancy P, and from the neck up President-Good-Old-Joe could pass for Hank Johnson.Is the White House starting to feel like home?President Biden: It's surreal ... but it's comfortable. We were here for eight years, just not in this...

The liberal media told us that the election of President Biden was going to yank America out of its dark days plagued by the coronavirus, economic depression, and former President Donald Trump’s tweets, but a new survey shows that U.S. “satisfaction” has hit rock bottom. In the latest Gallup survey, satisfaction is the lowest the firm has recorded, down to 39%. And the survey started in 2001 showed its steepest one-year plunge, down from 53% a year ago, before the virus swept through the world and when the Trump economy was sky-high. “Americans' satisfaction with seven broad aspects of the...

The hashtag “#AOClied” began trending on social media following claims by critics that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) wasn’t in the Capitol building during the riots in which she purportedly feared for her life. In an Instagram Live video earlier this week, AOC (D-NY) told an elaborate story about the day of the riots. It was a tale that encompassed accusing Republicans of using the same tactics as those who commit sexual assault and questioning if a Capitol police officer had purposefully put her at risk. Ocasio-Cortez said she hid in her office bathroom to remain safe. “I thought I was going...

A new sexual consent app in Denmark allows lovers to grant permission from their smartphones - after the country toughened its rape laws to require explicit consent. The press of a button on the iConsent app gives permission for 'one intercourse' which is valid for 24 hours and can be withdrawn at any time. But the app has met with a cool reception in Denmark, where one newspaper called it 'as unsexy as another corona press conference'.

KEY POINTS: The Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer of New York, along with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and other Democrats on Thursday put forward a resolution calling on President Joe Biden to forgive $50,000 in student debt for all borrowers.

Dozens of Democrat senators in a Senate session that is still going early Friday voted to show their support for sending stimulus checks to illegal immigrants. Republicans offered a flurry of amendments during the Senate’s budget reconciliation debate as Democrats aim at using the budget process to ram through President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 relief package. The nonbinding amendments are a way to get Democrats on the record about various issues. “Senate Republicans will be ready and waiting with a host of amendments to improve the rushed procedural step that’s being jammed through. We’ll be getting senators on the record about...

An interesting compare-&-contrast arises amid reports out today of Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, getting a book deal to publish his memoir “Beautiful Things”. The controversial life of Hunter Biden includes abusive relationships, sex scandals, drug use and retaining a position of affluence by trading on his father’s position in government. Everything surrounding Hunter Biden is not only sketchy, it is the life of a very troubled, manipulative, opportunistic and creepy person… e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

I discovered this a couple of weeks ago and I think it's worth promoting

A Pennsylvania coalition is gearing up to lobby for proposed state legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants to get a state driver’s license. ---SNIP--- Driving PA Forward, an immigrant-led coalition, argues the license provides the basic human right of an identity and that driving is a basic need. The group is gearing up for 40 days of action starting later this month, to lobby support for the bill. “We are talking about mothers who cannot pick up their kids because they don’t have an ID ... we’re talking about people who cannot get their prescriptions because they don’t have an...

Name a condiment more divisive than mayonnaise — oh wait, you can't. Mayonnaise can play a significant role in the kitchen, namely adding much-needed moisture to sandwiches, overcooked meat, and even cake, but let's face it, plenty of people hate it, and that's one hundred percent justified (even if they are wrong). Are you in a relationship that's been divided by mayo? I am, and to be honest, if my partner is gonna tease me about something, I'd much rather it be my love of mayonnaise than any of my flaws. The folks over at Kraft seem to share that...

When it was learned in 2016 that Russia may have hacked the emails of John Podesta and the DNC, and passed the fruits on to WikiLeaks to aid candidate Donald Trump, mighty was the outrage of the American establishment. If Russia's security services filched those emails, and a troll farm in Saint Petersburg sent tweets and texts to stir up rancor in our politics, it was said, this was an attack on American democracy and its most sacred of rituals -- the elections by which we chose our leaders. Some called it an "act of war." Others compared it to...

That's why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.“

When embattled freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., took to the U.S. House floor Thursday morning in advance of a chamberwide vote to possibly strip her of all committee assignments, she spoke through a face mask embroidered with that most iconic of all American rallying cries: "FREE SPEECH." Greene thus followed in the footsteps of many others on the right who respond to a domineering and increasingly illiberal ruling class with rote proceduralist appeals to free speech and open discourse -- whether in the context of media/academia-driven "cancel culture," ideologically homogenizing Big Tech censorship or elsewhere. On the merits, it...
