To say there are sketchy issues in FultonCounty, Georgia, elections would be the understatement of the year. So many issues have been raised with the Atlanta area 2020 election processes it would be impossible to encapsulate them in one article. One consistent pattern continues…. It appears specific lots of ballots -all favoring JoeBiden- were counted multiple times. The multiple-counting-issue is just one aspect, one point of data, that current lawsuits within the region are attempting to resolve. The scanning of the same batches of ballots multiple times would explain the “missing batches” issue. The batches are “missing” because they were...

Not looking good for Phil after Round One.

TOPLINE Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) expressed openness to a major reform to the Senate filibuster in a private call with donors to a group that promotes bipartisan cooperation in Congress on Monday, according to leaked audio published by The Intercept.

If you’ve followed this story at all then you know that there is a serious backlash to the spread of Critical Race Theory (CRT) into public and private schools around the country. And, not surprisingly, there is now a media backlash to that backlash which is arguing a couple of things. First it suggests that what parents and many conservatives are calling CRT isn’t actually CRT as understood by scholars. Marc Lamont Hill and Nikole Hannah Jones have both made that argument. For instance: Ida Bae Wells@nhannahjones · Jun 9, 2021 Replying to @nhannahjones Like, basic reporting would demand that...

Do you smell their fear rising over the competing reeks of Prius new car smell, of kale, and of the armies of shambling, squatting hoboes that have come to symbolize modern liberalism? That eau d’ uh-oh is the scent of progressives realizing that maybe pushing an ideology that tells the majority of America “You stink!” is not going to lead to the sweet smell of success. Everyone hates CRT, critical race theory, that bizarre, ridiculous, and morally illiterate hodge-podge of Marxist mumbo-jumbo blended with a healthy dose of the kind of racial hash that would make Democrat David Duke beam....

Explanation: NGC 6888, also known as the Crescent Nebula, is a about 25 light-years across blown by winds from its central, bright, massive star. A triumvirate of astroimagers ( Joe, Glenn, Russell) created this sharp portrait of the cosmic bubble. Their telescopic collaboration collected over 30 hours of narrow band image data isolating light from hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The oxygen atoms produce the blue-green hue that seems to enshroud the detailed folds and filaments. Visible within the nebula, NGC 6888's central star is classified as a Wolf-Rayet star (WR 136). The star is shedding its outer envelope in a...

Earlier this month, we told readers, “Lumber Prices Slump As Historic Boom Hits A Wall,” as sawmills were catching up with the flurry of demand from North American homebuilders amid supply chain issues, which created massive supply constraints, which propelled lumber prices to record highs. Ole Hansen, Saxo Bank’s chief commodity strategist, said the plunge in lumber prices might spiral down some more as speculators exit their positions and supply catches up with demand. Lumber futures on Chicago Mercantile Exchange are down more than 2% on Thursday. Prices have fallen 44% since May’s record high of over $1,700 per thousand...

If Catholicism, in the end, managed to elude the political hatred it engenders, I have almost no doubt that this same spirit of the age which seems so opposed to it would become supportive and that it would suddenly achieve extensive conquests. —Alexis de TocquevilleAlmost two centuries ago, Alexis de Tocqueville predicted that Americans would either totally abandon Christianity or convert to Catholicism, writing, “our descendants will tend increasingly to divide into only two parts, some leaving Christianity entirely and the others embracing the Church of Rome.” He predicted a smaller Church—of which Pope Benedict XVI agrees—saying, “Nowadays, more than...

On October 18, 1931, Winnie Ruth Judd, an attractive 26-year-old secretary from Phoenix, Arizona, arrived by train in Los Angeles. She had some very strange baggage with her when she rolled into the station – trunks that contained the severed body parts of Winnie’s two best friends. She had murdered them, it seems, all in the name of love. The bizarre tale began in Arizona. Winnie, along with her two friends -- Agnes “Anne” LeRoi, 32, and Sarah Hedvig “Sammy” Samuelson, 24 – were all in love with the same man. His name was Jack Halloran and he was a...

A little over a month ago, BofA spooked even the most dovish elements on Wall Street and in the Marriner Eccles building, when the bank said that judging by the explosion of references to surging prices in Q1 earnings calls, the bank concluded that this “pointing to at the very least, “transitory” hyper-inflation ahead.” Yes… really: Fast forward to today when BofA’s economist Alex Lin quantified what his bank qualified to so many shocked gasps one month ago. As Lin writes, with core CPI inflation at 3.8% yoy in May, “we must assess how much of the acceleration in inflation...

Reports from across the nation indicated that teenage boys are suddenly much less interested in sneaking to the mailbox and taking out the mailers and fliers from Victoria's Secret in the mail before their parents get to them. The change seemed to have something to do with the lingerie and women's clothing company announcing the cancellation of its supermodels, the "Angels", who are being replaced with feminist icons such as Megan Rapinoe. "Yeah, you know what? Mom can keep this one," said one disappointed boy, Oliver Hampton, putting the catalog back in the mailbox after seeing Rapinoe on the cover....

Joshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it. Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive. "COVID ended up attacking my lungs," Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News. After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza's health deteriorated rapidly. On Feb. 2, when he ended up falling while trying to walk, his wife called for an ambulance to take him...

Biden wishes to double tax inheritances. This will spell the end of small family fortunes.

Singer and actress Cher said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that every time former President Donald Trump did “something,” she got “angry” and “sick.” Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “I know you’re a big political junkie. I know you know and follow all the debates going on. I wanted to ask you if you’re sleeping better at night with President Biden in office?”

Fed’s Reverse Repo Soars To Stunning $756 Billion, Spikes By $230 Billion Overnight While it received far less attention that the Fed’s dot plot, the only thing that the Fed actually did change yesterday were its administered rates, as it raised the rate on its overnight Reverse Repo facility from 0% to 0.05% and the rate on excess reserves (IOER) from 0.10% to 0.15%. Since the RRP hike meant the GC rate would also have to increase, we noted last night that “with both market rates and RRP at .05%, there’s really no economic incentive for cash investors to move...

President Biden told reporters Wednesday he gave President Vladimir Putin a list of 16 critical infrastructure entities that are "off limits" to a Russian cyberattack. Those entities include energy, water, health care, emergency, chemical, nuclear, communications, government, defense, food, commercial facilities, IT, transportation, dams, manufacturing and financial services. "We'll find out whether we have a cybersecurity arrangement that begins to bring some order," Biden said. Putin, for his part, denied any involvement in a recent spate of cyberattacks that have hit major industries across the U.S. "I looked at him. I said, ‘How would you feel if ransomware took on...

A spokesman for Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ) confirmed to Breitbart News Thursday afternoon that the congressman was indeed the representative seen on a Zoom meeting with colleagues wearing a Captain America T-shirt and boxer shorts. The video, which was shared by Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and others, appears to show an internal Zoom video of a meeting of the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security to consider the department’s budget request for Fiscal Year 2022.
