Governor Kemp’s staff received 40,000 election fraud affidavits for the 2020 election in Georgia. But how can this be? It was the most secure election ever. A local group called Georgia Patriots (led by Holly Kelser) showed up to deliver about 40,000 sworn affidavits regarding 2020 election fraud to the office of Governor Brian Kemp. Former Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson and the Pillow Guy Mike Lindell accompanied them as the staff showed their displeasure. To be fair, Kemp tightened up the election laws, after the fact, and took a hit for that. On the other hand, Secretary of State Raffensperger...

Bob Beckel, a Democratic strategist and former co-host of "The Five," has died at age 73. Beckel first joined Fox News in 2000 as a contributor providing political analysis and rejoined the network in 2011 as one of the original hosts of "The Five." Columnist Cal Thomas posted on Facebook about Beckel's death. When "The Five" premiered in July 2011, it was only supposed to have a five-week run to temporarily fill the timeslot. Instead, the show stuck around and has become one of the highest-rated shows in all cable news. Beckel was there during the inception of "The Five"...

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are acknowledging the messages that were leaked out of a chat group “RCMP Musical Ride” that included officers joking about and cheering the abuse of protesters.As we’ve reported there have been multiple instances where the police engaged in what appeared to be excessive force including beating and kicking people, hitting them with rifle butts, and — perhaps most infamously — running over people with their horses. The RCMP officers joked and laughed about it in their chat.🚨BREAKING🚨 LEAKED RCMP MESSAGESRCMP working in Ottawa to assist in the crackdown on peaceful protesters had fun laughing about...

HOUSTON – A Houston couple has been indicted for capital murder in the death of 8-year-old Keyontae Holzendorf, who died in a motel room bathtub after being severely beaten, handcuffed, and bound with duct tape in March 2021. “The way this little boy died is almost unthinkable and absolutely horrifying” Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said. “We believe he was handcuffed, bound at the ankles and legs with ligatures and duct-tape, had his mouth taped shut and was beaten so severely that he either died from blunt force trauma or suffocated on the blood from his broken teeth.” The...

President Biden said on Friday that he would extend the national emergency that was first declared in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The additional authority had been set to expire on March 1. The decision, contained in a letter from Mr. Biden to Congress that the White House made public, comes as a wave of coronavirus cases driven by the highly transmissible Omicron variant recedes in the United States, and many states and localities ease pandemic restrictions. But the pandemic is taking a continuing toll on the country. As of Friday, more than 75,000 Americans were hospitalized...

The US embassy in Moscow has warned American nationals about alleged threats of terror attacks in public places in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in areas near the Russian-Ukrainian border. ... However, it cited no concrete media source to back its warning. ... It also advised to "have evacuation plans that do not rely on U.S. government assistance.".

The Virus that Dare not Speak Its NameThe most glaringly obvious and the single most unheard thing about the mRNA products (but something that explains virtually all the adverse events, both in kind, degree, and combination) is that each of those products is, at the very least, the functional equivalent of a virus, with a few notable but still very serious distinctions. I came to this conclusion by considering the nature of the therapeutic vehicles they are using. I had been reading about most of these at least since starting grad school over 25 years ago. I remember talking with...

Democratic political operative and former Fox News host Bob Beckel has died at age 73, his longtime friend and fellow columnist Cal Thomas confirmed Monday evening. His cause of death was not specified. Beckel famously ran Walter Mondale’s failed 1984 presidential campaign and later became a Fox News political analyst, often serving as a token Democratic voice on the network’s panels. In 2011, he became the curmudgeonly co-host of the network’s midday talk show, The Five, until he was unceremoniously kicked to the curb following his recovery from back surgery, with Fox declaring in a statement that the show would...

Picture it: A car-free trip to Santa Cruz, for an attractive fare, on a train that took you to the beach in the morning, back home that night, and showed you some great scenery along the way. That describes the Sun Tan Special, operated by the Southern Pacific railroad between San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz on summer weekends and holidays for most of the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s. It was more than just a conveyance. “[It’s] a happy train, filled with people in a vacation mood,” says a 1940s Southern Pacific flyer. “It gives you six hours on...

It has not been a good few months from the crypto world. After rampaging higher during the middle of last year, cryptocurrencies have broadly speaking dropped around 40-50% since their November highs, and have become more and more correlated with the traditional financial system as long-duration, hyper-growth companies have seen their share prices decimated by the realization that 'this time is serious' from The Fed on their policy-tightening plans.And while 98-year-old curmudgeons are busily saying cryptos are "like some venereal disease ... I just regard it as beneath contempt," the rest of the tech world is beavering away envisioning -...

The big wildcard in today's dramatic escalation in tensions over east Ukraine, is how and when Beijing will react to Putin's announcement recognizing the Donbass region as independent and immediately deploying "peacekeeping" forces to Donetsk and Lugansk. A hint as to what may be coming, came earlier on Monday when China said it would impose new sanctions on U.S. defense contractors Raytheon Technologies and Lockheed Martin due to their arms sales to Taiwan, stepping up a feud with Washington over security and Beijing’s strategic ambitions.Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin announced the move at a daily press briefing, citing a newly...

Anti-Trumpers like Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) will be attending their own “counterprogramming” session to compete with the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) this coming weekend. Dubbed the “Principles First Summit,” the meeting of the anti-Trump minds will go from February 26 to February 27 and plans to build on the success of the summit from 2020.

The choice in North Dakota’s U.S. Senate race, according to one of the candidates, is a simple binary: a bowl of oatmeal, or an egg-avocado breakfast platter. That metaphor was recently posted on Facebook, in meme form, by Rick Becker, a Republican state lawmaker who just launched a primary campaign to unseat Republican incumbent Sen. John Hoeven. Neither of their names are referenced. But the suggestion is clear: Becker—a fire-breathing MAGA conservative popular with the state’s ultra-right—is meant to be the exciting, appetizing choice. And Hoeven—a reserved two-term senator who is as likely to appear on an agriculture policy newscast...

Virginia school principals will have to once again report certain misdemeanors to law enforcement after Democrats in the state Senate voted with Republicans to pass one of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s legislative priorities. The bill from Del. Scott Wyatt (R-Hanover) that lawmakers passed Monday was one of many backed by Youngkin that proposed to roll back a law giving principals and superintendents discretion on reporting some misdemeanors that occur on school grounds. Under the current law, administrators have to report felonies but have discretion when referring students to law enforcement for conduct that could be a misdemeanor in Virginia. These include...
