There continues to be a lot of talk about secession now. I think the invitation to secede should last decades, and be extended on a county by county basis. After 4 or 5 decades, we solidify the borders, and those blue enclave counties that haven't drained out will be treated with the same respect that other sovereign nation enclaves within the US have been treated, i.e. the Indian Reservations, which are still sovereign. I think the invitation to secede should be extended to counties in Canada and Mexico as well, since we are forming a new country. Not all divorces...

The Harvard Law Review has named a Los Angeles-born Egyptian-American as what it believes is its first Muslim president in its 134-year history, elevating him to the top of one of the most prestigious U.S. law journals. Harvard Law School student Hassaan Shahawy said he hoped his election represented "legal academia's growing recognition of the importance of diversity, and perhaps its growing respect for other legal traditions."

An new video obtained by journalist from the Gateway Pundit reveals tens of thousands of ballots being secretly carted in to the TCF Center several hours after the ballot counting deadline had passed. This adds to the already mountain of irregularities and instances of fraud that we’ve seen around the country during this election. This latest instance of fraud from Michigan, where Donald Trump held a substantial lead, over 100,000 votes, late on Tuesday, Nov 3rd. But that lead evaporated suddenly on the 4th as large dumps of Biden “votes” came in.

A man who was filmed smashing windows in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, at the spot where Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot, was arrested Saturday after a family member tipped off the FBI, federal prosecutors said. Zachary Jordan Alam was arrested in Pennsylvania and faces charges of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous or deadly weapon, destruction of government property, unlawful entry in a restricted building without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct, a federal criminal complaint said. In photos and videos cited by the affidavit, an FBI officer said Alam was seen breaching Capitol...

Everything Wrong With the Capitol Shooting In 21 Minutes Or Less

Federal agents have launched an investigation into claims that high-powered explosives have gone missing from a Marine Corps training installation in California. About 10 pounds of composition C-4 plastic explosives disappeared from Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms during a January exercise, ABC10 News in San Diego reported. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is investigating the matter, said Jeff Houston, a spokesman for the agency. Marine Corps officials referred questions -- including when the explosives are believed to have gone missing, how they're typically safeguarded, what units were involved in the recent exercise, and whether any suspects have...

Some people believe that the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights is as important to the world as America’s famous foundational documents are to America. But true concern for what humans need and are entitled to goes back way past WW2 and the Declaration Of Independence and the Bill Of Rights. e.g. The New Testament I would argue that human rights are the heart of conservatism (defined by Ron Paul as “preserving what’s good”). Progressives who want to change everything for changes’ virtue-signalling sake are not the champions of human rights they tout themselves to be.

Lawmakers in Virginia voted on Friday to make it the first Southern U.S. state to abolish the death penalty, a significant sign of waning support for capital punishment across the country as the practice is weighed at the federal level. The state’s Democratic-led House of Delegates voted 57-41 on a measure to end the practice. The Senate passed the measure earlier this week, and Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat, said he will sign the repeal into law. Virginia has conducted 1,390 executions since 1608, the most in the United States and 68 more than Texas, the state with the second...

The United States aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, known for anchoring US power in the Middle East, has been ordered back home, US Naval Institute News said citing American officials.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin instructed the carrier and the 5,000 sailors and Marines of...

Conservatives in and out of California were giving each other digital high-fives this week as the Recall Gavin 2020 efforts broke the 1.4 million milestone, less than 100,000 signatures away from being successful. Except, that’s not exactly true, and careless “conservative” publications like the Daily Caller are spreading this misinformation.A recall election of California Governor Gavin Newsom will be triggered by 1,495,709 validated signatures, or 12% of the previous total votes cast for the office. In 2003, the recall challenge against Governor Gray Davis yielded well over 1.6 million signatures, but around 15% of them were invalidated. In the end,...

TIME Magazine has published an extraordinary investigative piece titled, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” detailing how an extensive network of powerful and wealthy people ran a “shadow” campaign in order to save the election. The column, authored by Molly Ball, lays out a scenario involving “a well-funded cabal of powerful people” who worked in concert to change election laws and control the dissemination of information before and after the election.

The Biden administration has re-implemented the Obama-era “catch and release” method of dealing with undocumented migrants caught along the South Texas border with Mexico... On Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden issued executive orders significantly changing immigration policies set under the Trump administration. McAllen Mayor Jim Darling on Tuesday told Border Report that city officials met with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, who told them last week that family units — undocumented migrants traveling with children who cross into South Texas — are now being paroled into the United States as they await their asylum proceedings... however many years that...

Rachel Marie Powell, wanted for her alleged role in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, was taken into custody Thursday night in New Castle, Pennsylvania, according to the FBI in Pittsburgh. Powell, known as the "bullhorn lady," is a mother of eight from rural Sandy Lake in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. She was recognized in videos and photographs of the rioting wearing a pink hat, ramming a pole into the Capitol building and using a bullhorn to issue orders. In the FBI's criminal complaint, Powell is connected to a scene inside the Capitol in which a group of people were...

In a stunning admission, Time magazine has inadvertently pulled the veil on the Left’s master plan to align with big tech in a coordinated and secret effort to take down President Trump. “President Trump was right”. Time is gleefully revealing this in a new story out today on how the left waged a shadow campaign to rig the 2020 election and prevent President Trump from winning. Here’s how it begins:

Brian P. McCreary was arrested Thursday for being part of the mob that breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. In a statement given voluntarily to the FBI, McCreary said he was frustrated by the outcome of the presidential election and had traveled to Washington, D.C., where he listened to former President Donald Trump urge his supporters to take their grievances to the Capitol. And so he did, according to authorities, joining a march from the White House, at times scurrying along side streets to get ahead of the growing crowd and arriving among the first rioters to reach and...

As President Biden considers putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, a group has emerged with several other proposals to put women on bills.

Whoa, Canada! Our neighbor to the north has come under fire for drawing COVID-19 vaccine doses from the international consortium meant to preserve supplies for poorer countries, a consortium that the US under Donald Trump pointedly eschewed in favor of Trump’s “America First” philosophy. Now, Justin Trudeau’s government has resorted to defending its self-interest, vowing no apologies for putting Canada first:
