New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) said Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) cost the GOP in the midterm elections with their respective comments on abortion and Social Security. Sununu said on “Julie Mason Mornings” on SiriusXM’s POTUS channel in an interview that aired on Friday that Graham “didn’t do anybody any favors” when he proposed a 15-week national abortion ban, nor did Scott with his comments in support of requiring Congress to renew Social Security every five years instead of it being automatically renewed.

A chipper President Biden declared victory in the midterm elections, saying “the red wave didn’t happen. So, I’m not changing anything.” He took special pride from polls showing that 75 percent of voters are unhappy with the country’s direction by reminding everyone that “we won anyway. This is a vote of confidence in our party’s ability to turn things around.” However, Joy Behar, co-host of ABC’s “The View” was less exuberant than Biden and castigated voters “for not giving Democrats a super-majority. Democrat policies are saving the planet, protecting women’s rights to terminate unwanted pregnancies, and saving us from covid....

Republican Adam Laxalt warned his supporters Saturday that Democrat mail-in votes were coming in at a higher rate than he had expected, and they could erase his lead in the Nevada Senate race. “We are up only 862 votes," he tweeted. "The race will come down to 20-30K Election Day Clark drop off ballots." He said it was possible the remaining ballots could tip the race to Democrat incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez-Masto. "If they are GOP precincts or slightly DEM leaning then we can still win," Laxalt explained. "If they continue to trend heavy DEM then she will overtake us.”...

About 200 people gathered near the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center in Phoenix on Saturday to protest the voting tabulation process while holding signs that decried voter fraud. Other signs called Katie Hobbs, the Democratic candidate for Arizona governor, “corrupt,” and another sign said, “FBI honor your oath, arrest all traitors.” In a tweet on Friday, state Sen. Wendy Rogers, R-Flagstaff, called for patriots to “rise up to rally” and “pray for the Light to shine in the darkness and for His truth to be revealed.”

A new cold case investigation has been opened into the long unsolved murder of child beauty pageant star JonBenet Ramsey. Police in Colorado hope that new forensic techniques could finally solve the murder of the six-year-old girl found dead in the basement of her family home in Boulder almost three decades ago. Her body was found beaten and strangled on Boxing Day in 1996, hours after her parents, John and Patsy, reported her missing and a ransom note was found in the house. Her death has been ruled as a homicide, though nobody has ever been charged over her murder....

Saying he wants to clear his name, Alec Baldwin on Friday sued people involved in handling and supplying the loaded gun he was using when it fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a 2021 filming accident in New Mexico. Baldwin filed a cross-complaint in Superior Court in Los Angeles alleging negligence against some of the people sued by a script supervisor, Mamie Mitchell. Among other things, it seeks a share of any damages that Mitchell may win from the people Baldwin names and asks that they pay for any damages assessed against him. Mitchell was standing behind Hutchins, who died...

The puzzle as to who is really running the country, has been with us for some time. Certainly, all logic points to the fact the Joe Biden is an example of a man who has risen to his level of incompetence. His age, reflecting the early stages of dementia, makes him a prime target for manipulation. Those closest to him in the West Wing are making the day-to-day decisions, but where are they getting their direction? In a strong Presidency, that would be the President, the is the captain of the ship, as was the case with President Trump. Obviously,...

2 months prior to the 2022 Midterm elections, the FIB seized Mike Lindell's cellphone. WHY DID THEY DO THIS?The timing of this is in itself suspicious, two months prior to the midterm election. I allege that the FIB was looking to see if Lindell had ADVANCE INFORMATION AS TO HOW THE DEMONRATS WOULD STEAL THE 2022 MIDTERM ELECTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS WHY THEY TOOK HIS PHONE. They wanted to see if he was talking to anyone who KNEW the Midterms would be stolen and the methods this would be done.Just looking at Laxalt's senate race in Nevada, it is...

When something is so obvious, if the outcome makes no sense, if the outcome is literally impossible, then it is what it is. Forget “proof.” You know it. You saw it. You felt it. You experienced it. It happened. It’s real. The 2022 midterm was just stolen. Just like 2020. If you disagree, you’re either delusional, terribly naïve, or brain-dead. Or you’re in on the fix. It’s time to admit we’re all part of a massive experiment in fraud, theft, brainwashing, and gaslighting to a degree never seen in world history.

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...

Turkish President Erdogan commented on the terrorist attack in Istanbul: "The blast was caused by a planted explosive. Attempts to take over Turkey and the Turkish nation through terrorism will not achieve their goal today or tomorrow, as they have not...

ROME — Climate change alarmists are pressing for faster transition away from affordable fossil fuels, insisting that the world has only nine years to avoid a “critical climate change threshold.” Citing the yearly Global Carbon Budget report, Zack Budryk wrote in the Hill Friday that humanity must radically reduce its consumption of fossil fuels to avoid crossing the 1.5-degree warming threshold, warning that at current levels that threshold will be reached in just nine years. Assuming 2022 emissions levels, the Global Carbon Budget to limit global warming to 1.5, 1.7, and 2º C has reduced to the equivalent of 9,...

An update to the story that The Point discussed here. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed to resist mass migration. The low bar at stake here is the migrant smuggling operation in which NGOs pick up mostly Muslim migrants and “rescue them” by transporting them to Italy. The new Italian government lightly put its foot down and refused to let the male migrants leave the smuggling ships and enter Italy. The migrant smugglers claimed that Italy had an obligation to take them because the Muslim migrants were all vulnerable Italy allowed in women, children and anyone sick and said that the...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the Republican reaction to the hammer attack on her husband Paul turned off voters. Anchor Dana Bash said, “You alluded to this when I asked about your husband. I want to ask specifically, and point-blank about the fact that there has been such extremism, such political violence, and what happened to your husband was horrific. Do you think that that had an impact on voters as they cast their ballot?” Pelosi said, “What I’m hearing is it wasn’t just the attack, it was the Republican reaction...

A popular, attractive, honest, and competent Republican candidate had his race taken from him after several days of delayed vote counting. This time it was Adam Laxalt in Nevada. Laxalt led the polls and had a good election day turnout. He led the race by tens of thousands of votes. On Thursday Adam Laxalt told Tucker Carlson that his opponent did not have a valid path to victory. Adam Laxalt told Tucker that his opponent needed 63% of the remaining 84,000 votes in Clark County, Nevada to catch up with him in the vote count. Adam Laxalt told Tucker: “She...

Outgoing Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump kept causing Republicans to lose elections. Anchor Dana Bash said, “You’ve kind of been on an island, maybe a few others are with you, as a Republican warning against GOP extremism and specifically election denialism. How do you interpret the results?” Hogan said, “I’ve been talking about this for years. It seems as if I was the only one talking about it. Today there are a whole lot more people talking about it. The way I would interpret it, look, this should...
