RINGGOLD, Ga. (AP) — As he met with voters recently in a part of northwest Georgia where Donald Trump is still very popular, David Perdue invoked his belief in the lie that elections in 2020 and 2021 were stolen from the former president and himself. “First of all, it was stolen,” Perdue said. “The facts are coming out.” When the rally was over, Perdue visited the storefront office of a group that similarly espouses election falsehoods. Perdue posted a photo on his Facebook page of himself beaming as the group’s cofounder talks under a banner proclaiming “a legal vote requires...

Russia unleashed a string of attacks Monday against rail and fuel installations deep inside Ukraine, far from the front lines of Moscow's new eastern offensive, in a bid to thwart Ukrainian efforts to marshal supplies for the fight....Five railroad stations in central and western Ukraine were hit, and one worker was killed, said Oleksandr Kamyshin, head of Ukraine's state railway.

CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter, who claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” before it was verified by the establishment media, claimed free speech is unattractive to Americans.“If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party, or are you going to decide to stay home?” he rhetorically asked. “And that’s a question for Twitter users.”

WILLIAMSPORT – A federal judge has recommended dismissal of suits aimed at removing two conservative Republicans from the May primary ballot because of their efforts to overturn the election of President Joe Biden. U.S. Middle District Magistrate Judge William I. Arbuckle on Tuesday refused to certify the suits Jeffrey D. Hill filed seeking to have Doug Mastriano and Scott Perry disqualified. State Sen.

A male contraceptive pill could be tested in humans in just two months, scientists say — after it showed promise in trials on mice. Researchers at the University of Minnesota, who invented the drug, say it could enter clinical trials as early as this July. The non-hormonal pill, medically named YCT529, blocked 99 per cent of pregnancies in mice during tests — putting it on a par with the female birth control medication. It also did not trigger any visible side-effects, such as weight gain, and male mice were able to father pups four to six weeks after administration was...

Fort Worth, Texas, is now the first city government in the United States to mine bitcoin — and in an almost poetic devotion to the initiative, Mayor Mattie Parker oversaw the construction of a small mining farm in City Hall. Three Bitmain Antminer S9 mining rigs will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the climate-controlled information technology wing of Fort Worth City Hall. The city says the miners will be hosted on a private network to minimize the security risk. Bitcoin operates on a proof-of-work mining model, meaning that miners around the world run high-powered computers...

Gov. Brian Kemp has a chance of landing an outright victory against former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll that shows the Republican incumbent with a hefty advantage over his Donald Trump-backed challenger. Kemp led Perdue 53% to 27% in the poll of likely voters in the Republican primary, which is now less than a month away. That would put the governor above the majority-vote threshold needed to avoid a June runoff. Other challengers were in the single digits; an additional 15% were undecided. The poll was conducted April 10-22 by the University of Georgia’s School...

Explanation: The world is waking up to a picturesque planet parade. Just before dawn, the eastern skies over much of planet Earth are decorated by a notable line of familiar planets. In much of Earth's northern hemisphere, this line of planets appears most nearly horizontal, but in much of Earth's southern hemisphere, the line appears more nearly vertical. Pictured over the Sydney Opera House in southern Australia, the planet line was captured nearly vertical about five days ago. From top to bottom, the morning planets are Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. As April ends, the angular distance between Venus and...

The Russian government has accused the UK of "provoking" Ukraine into attacking Russian territory. Russia's defence ministry said it was ready to hit "decision-making centres" in Kyiv should such attacks occur. The presence of Western advisers at such centres might not affect its decision to retaliate, it added. It comes after a UK defence minister said it was "not necessarily a problem" for Ukraine to use UK-supplied arms against military targets in Russia. James Heappey said Ukrainian military strikes to disrupt supply lines were a "legitimate" part of war, and described Russian claims of Nato being in conflict with Russia...

Rediscovering Archbishop Lefebvre’s Intolerance for Error Before There’s No Tolerance for Truth “Nothing is done in the world that does not relate to our Lord; it is either for Him or against Him, with Him or without Him. Our Lord is the key to the solution of all the problems. There are none here below that are indifferent to our Lord. Men try in vain to work without reference to our Lord, but it is impossible because our Lord is everywhere. He created everything; therefore everything is in His hands. Everything belongs to Him, nothing is outside of Him....

Trailer for "2000 Mules" looks pretty good. They've got video and cell phone tracking data showing hundreds/thousands of trips to multiple voting drop boxes by the same individuals.

With his livelihood on the line, Rob Lennick texted the wrong Deborah. The CEO of the Jewish Federation of New Mexico, Lennick sent a message asking for support of an extension to his contract. He was also asking for a $30,000 forgivable loan from the federation to pay for the repair of a home he was hoping to purchase. Lennick had meant to reach Deborah Boldt, who was serving on the federation’s board of directors — but he reached Deborah Albrycht, the federation’s human resources officer.

It’s been a half-century since airlines started hiring women and people of color to fly passenger planes, allowing a handful of pioneering pilots into the flight deck. In the decades since, commercial aviation has grown exponentially, democratizing travel and rewiring how Americans live, work and play. But one part of the industry has remained mostly the same. Piloting is stubbornly monolithic: About 95 percent of airline pilots in the U.S. today are male. Nearly as many are white. Zakiya Percy is one of a small and growing number of people trying to change that. Ms. Percy, 29, used to dream...

United States District Judge Christopher “Casey” Cooper on April 26 granted five petitions seeking to intervene in former Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann’s upcoming trial for allegedly making a false statement to the FBI. Special Counsel John Durham, in April 6 court filings, sought to compel the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hilary Clinton’s 2016 campaign, Fusion GPS, the Perkins Coie law firm, and former Neustar senior vice president Rodney Joffe to provide documents and communications they’ve refused to hand over, claiming attorney-client privilege. Durham maintains there were 1,455 documents and communications between the parties that were withheld from federal prosecutors...

Vladimir Putin is seen with a shaking hand and firmly gripping his chair in video captured two months ago - adding to mounting speculation over the state of the Russian president's health. The clip, which was taken on February 18, just before the onset of his invasion of Ukraine, shows him welcoming fellow strongman Alexander Lukashenko at the Kremlin. The Russian president has been dogged by claims of his failing health in recent months, fueled by footage of his bloated face, slouching posture, and constant gripping for support. In the video taken in February, Putin is seen standing up awaiting...

Who Is Defending and Who Is Criticizing the Nine Years of Francis’ Pontificate? This March 13, 2022 was the date of the ninth anniversary of the election of Pope Francis. Turning 85 last December 17, the sovereign pontiff has seen his health problems increase over the past year (cf. FSSPX.News), to the extent that Vaticanists feel they need no longer hide, but can openly discuss his succession.In this particular climate, two facts hold must be considered: a discreet meeting organized on March 25 and 26, in the United States, by the defenders of Francis’ course; and an anonymous memorandum...

A global surge in mysterious hepatitis cases in children may have been caused by lockdown and social distancing, health chiefs have warned as cases in the US rose to 11. Officials probing the outbreak in Britain said a lack of exposure to common infections during their 'formative' years may have left more children than usual vulnerable to the deadly liver disease. Many experts warned during the pandemic that locking down children, despite their low risk of severe Covid, could weaken their immunity against other illnesses, as well as hamper their education and long-term health. Three-quarters of cases in the UK...
