Colorado county clerks demand election deniers produce evidence of fraud or back down By: Kristian LopezApr 03, 2022 DENVER — Colorado county clerks gathered Sunday morning ahead of planned rallies at the state Capitol by a group of election deniers. They're asking these election conspiracy groups to either provide compelling evidence of election fraud or stop making these claims. During the meeting, a bipartisan group of county clerk officials said they've endured two years of false claims, which have caused an "unprecedented assault on election processes." They're calling for the individuals behind these allegations to provide evidence to law enforcement,...

resident Joe Biden is likely staring these days at the rising budget deficit along with his desire to spend far more money than the US Treasury has in its coffers. He must also notice his sinking poll numbers and dim prospects for his party in the November midterm elections. In response he has proposed a wealth tax on the uber rich. The White House calls it the “billionaire minimum income tax” which is neither limited to billionaires nor is a tax on income. Anyone with a basic understanding of economics may call it instead an “economic malpractice tax”. As the...

Tesla Co-founder and CEO Elon Musk has purchased a 9.2% stake in Twitter, Inc, according to a Monday filing from the SEC.

“‘For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished’” (Matthew 5:18). In considering our obligations to the divine Scripture, two other major obligations are crucial for the Christian. First, he or she must defend the Word of God. We should strive for the integrity, authority, and purity of the Bible. As Jude exhorts us, we must “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints” (Jude 3). Charles Spurgeon wrote this about defending the Word: The...

In 17th Century Europe, you’d have swung for blaspheming against the dominant church of the day. In 2022, you can now be criminalised for professing the scripture of that same faith. A Bishop and a parliamentarian have been tried for ‘hate speech’ in Finland, in this case for merely quoting and affirming biblical views. In 2019 MP Päivi Räsänen, grandmother of seven, had sent a tweet, accompanied by a Bible verse, criticising her church for co-sponsoring the Helsinki Pride parade. Less than 280 characters triggered a life-changing police investigation. Räsänen was charged for the tweet, and also for backing biblical...

He had married Susanna daughter of Hilkiah, a woman of great beauty; and she was God-fearing, because her parents were worthy people and had instructed their daughter in the Law of Moses. Joakim was a very rich man, and had a garden attached to his house; the Jews would often visit him since he was held in greater respect...

WASHINGTON, Thursday, April 3. SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. The indorsement by the Senate, yesterday, of President LINCOLN's emancipation proposition, was followed up to-day, in that body, by the passage of Senator WILSON's bill to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia, creating considerable excitement in the city, but indicating nothing in opposition to the measure. The announcement, some days since, by a New-York print, that the introduction of the bill had caused negroes to be insolent to pedestrians on the streets in this city, cannot be sustained by respectable witnesses. The bill named above will undoubtedly pass the...

Perhaps the Real Collusion is with Leftist Environmental Groups and Russia. NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen made a startling statement in the summer of 2014: “I have met allies who can report that Russia, as part of their sophisticated information and disinformation operations, engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organizations—environmental organizations working against shale gas—to maintain European dependence on imported Russian gas.” Of course, Russia’s efforts to undermine natural gas production are not limited to Europe. In December 2019, Fiona Hill testified during the ridiculous Trump impeachment hearings that Russin President Vladimir Putin “saw American fracking as a great threat to...

Last week the Russian government held a press conference where it aired accusations of breathtaking corruption on the part of Joe Biden and his family. Unfortunately, this event was no fake news Russian propaganda. The incriminating evidence presented at the event came straight from the hard drive that belonged to Joe Biden’s son Hunter. As you may know, in 2019 Hunter Biden carelessly abandoned his laptop at a computer repair shop in Delaware. This was an act of astounding recklessness, since the emails, text messages, files, photos, and videos contained on that computer provided extensive record of greed, corruption, bribery...

@nickgillespie Massive debt & unsustainable entitlements are staring us right in the kisser but @JoeBiden's budget doubles down on federal spending that is fueling inflation--it promises a $1.2 trillion deficit next year. He's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic! Video...

It was easy to see this coming. We knew the moment any Republican legislature pushed back in even the slightest way against gender identity indoctrination in public education the Democrats and the media would lose their minds in a frenzy of wrath. One thing I didn’t see coming: The Walt Disney Company going all-in to defend the proposition that 5-year-olds should be exposed to sexualized content in public schools, and committing to further sexualizing their content aimed at young children. This is not normal. But it’s also not at all surprising. After all, anyone who has “done the work” to...

In pursuit of its utopian omelet, the Left cares little about the millions of middle-class Americans it must break to make it. The last 14 months have offered one of the rare occasions in recent American history when the hard Left has operated all the levers of federal government. The presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the permanent bureaucratic state are all in progressive hands. And the result is a disaster that is uniting Americans in their revulsion of elitists whose crazy ideas are tearing apart the fabric of the country. For understandable reasons, socialists and leftists are...

**WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT** Mass graves uncovered in Bucha, city to the west of Kyiv which Russian forces retreated from at the weekend One containing the bodies of at least 57 civilians was uncovered in the ground of a church in the city centre Satellite images reveal pit was dug some time before March 31, as Putin's men were still in control of the area Officials say the bodies of at least 410 civilians have been found in total, with many strewn through the streets One grave contained the bodies of a mayoress and her family who were killed for...

Anyone here had the procedure to correct? My googlefoo says 80 to 90 percent of patients experience a positive outcome. Ten to 20 percent experience no net gain. It also says (that for the people who experience a positive outcome) that the net benefit is 35% to 54% improvement (in visual acuity). Finally, the potential for complications of the vitrectomy seem to be high, but manageable. Any of you ever had this? Any retinal surgeons on FR with an opinion? Thanks.

The dishonesty over the recently signed Parental Rights in Education Bill in Florida has reached fever pitch, with LGBTQ+ groups and now the Disney Corporation proclaiming that it is a “don’t say gay” bill. SNIP Not a word about gay. The bill insists that parents, not educators, should be leading discussions with their own children about sexuality and sexual identity. To think that a five to eight-year-old has the mental or emotional capacity to grasp the concept of sexuality or gender identity is ludicrous. In America, children cannot be interviewed by a police officer or prosecutor without an adult being...

Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk holds a 9.2% stake in micro-blogging site Twitter Inc, according to a regulatory filing on Monday. Twitter shares rose about 28% in pre-market trading after a 13G filing revealed Elon Musk has taken a 9.2% passive stake in the social media company. Twitter shares were last up 28.49% in at $50.51 in pre-market trading following the news. The world's richest man bought nearly 73.5 million shares, a document filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission shows. Musk, a prolific user of Twitter himself, has been critical of the social media platform and its policies...

They understand that, when it comes to grooming, they’re facing a now or never situation. We are familiar with Florida’s HB1557 law prohibiting Kindergarten through 3rd-grade teachers from discussing or introducing in any manner the topics of transgenderism, sexual orientation, and gender identity. When the leftists and the LGBTQ+ community, including Disney, came down with both feet on this bill, even misrepresenting it (as is normal for them) as the “Don’t Say Gay Bill,” I wondered why this level of vehemence. I wrote it off to their not wanting to lose any battle when it comes to their agenda, even...

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked for support amid Russia’s invasion of his country during an impassioned and previously unannounced speech that aired during Sunday’s Grammy Awards. “Fill the silence with your music! Fill it today to tell our story,” Zelenskyy said during his video address at the celebrity-filled theater at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. “Tell the truth about this war on your social networks, on TV,” he continued. “Support us in any way you can. Any, but not silence, and then peace will come.” Zelenskyy said 153 children have died and more than 400 kids were injured...
