Patriot groups in Arizona are rallying to push for a new election on December 6, 2022, and so far 4 counties have said they will hold off on certifying the election results they have been given. Kari Lake recently made a lengthy statement about the status of the election results. There were serious issues in Maricopa County on November 8. Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots. Republican voters were told to drop their ballots into a...

Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Officials with a national monument in Florida said an unusual object washed up on the beach this week: a vintage streamer trunk from the 1930s. The Fort Matanzas National Monument said in a Facebook post that the trunk was found washed up on a park beach near St. Augustine late last week. "While nothing of interest was found within this trunk, it itself is a unique piece of history," the post said. The post said the trunk was from an aptly-named brand called Neverbreak Trunks. The black trunk dates from the 1930s and was manufactured by...

There are only 15 counties in the state of Arizona. So far, Mohave, Conchise, and Yavapai counties have refused to certify the suspect election. Gila county may be following suit. Caroline Wren, a senior advisor for Kari Lake, talked with Steve Bannon about what’s happening in Arizona, saying, “We are facing an existential crisis as a party. Our Grassroots supporters do not have faith in the elections. Nor should they. And if we don’t fight now, then when?” Gateway Pundit reported that on Friday, the Cochise County Board in southeast Arizona delayed certification of the suspect midterm elections. An apparent...

A food processing plant belonging to one of the biggest faux meat companies is riddled with bacteria and food safety violations. Internal documents and photos from the Beyond Meat plant in metro Philadelphia paint a picture of dangerous conditions with possible repercussions for consumers. Bloomberg obtained the evidence from plant whistleblowers, publishing the findings in a Monday report. A food safety attorney interviewed by Bloomberg indicated that the conditions at the plant were seriously unhygienic. “If neat and tidy is one and filthy is 10, I’d put this at an eight,” attorney Bill Marler said of the plant. A food...

Actor James Woods made an ominous prediction yesterday in a viral tweet after CBS News finally acknowledged the Hunter Biden laptop’s authenticity as House Republicans move to investigate. Woods declared in the tweet that “The laptop will end this administration.” “It’s going to be bigger than Watergate,” Woods insisted. Woods added, “These grifters are rotten to the core.” As we reported yesterday, CBS News released a report after performing an “independent forensic review” on a copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop data. The report has been mocked as being too little too late as the network apparently tries to save face...

SAN FRANCISCO - The Bay Area’s largest transit agency is considering drastic measures to replace its funding model — such as cutting weekend service — as it attempts to resolve the financial instability spurred by the pandemic. BART is looking ahead to 2025, when the agency is expected to fully exhaust the $1.6 billion in federal assistance it received to remain afloat during the pandemic. The funding model for BART before the pandemic relied mostly on farebox recovery, which amounted to about 70% of its overall funding. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the agency responsible for regional transportation planning and financing,...

Weight loss is never an easy nut to crack, but a handful of almonds could keep extra kilos at bay according to research. Examining how almonds can affect appetite, researchers found that a snack of 30–50 grams of almonds could help people cut back on the number of kilojoules they consume each day. The study found that people who consumed almonds—as opposed to an energy-equivalent carbohydrate snack—lowered their energy intake by 300 kilojoules (most of which came from junk food) at the subsequent meal. Dr. Sharayah Carter says the research provides valuable insights for weight management. "Rates of overweight and...

White House correspondent Simon Ateba, who works for Today News Africa, was among a trio of journalists who triggered a meltdown today by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Newsbusters’ Curtis Houck detailed what transpired in a three-part tweet that also included clips of the incident. “WATCH: KJP did NOT like it when @DailyCaller‘s @DianaGlebova shouted out a question to Fauci about the origins of COVID and the @NYPost‘s @StevenNelson10 came to her defense.” “PART 2 — KJP scolds @DailyCaller‘s @DianaGlebova for again trying to ask Fauci about the origins of COVID: “We have a process here. I’m not calling...

A dietary change could be a key to enhancing colon cancer treatment, a study finds. Cancer cells need nutrients to survive and grow. One of the most important nutrient sensing molecules in a cell is called mTORC1. Often called a master regulator of cell growth, it allows cells to sense different nutrients and thereby grow and proliferate. When nutrients are limited, cells dial down nutrient sensing cascade and turn off mTORC1. "In colon cancer, when you decrease the nutrients available in the tumors, the cells don't know what to do. Without the nutrients to grow, they undergo a kind of...

Russian-installed occupation officials on the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea have rejected social-media reports claiming that civilians were being evacuated from the city of Armyansk, near where the peninsula connects to the mainland. " The situation in the city is stable," wrote Armyansk occupation chief Vasyl Telizhenko, adding that the evacuation reports were "all fake information." Earlier, it was reported that Russian troops had begun digging emplacements in northern Crimea in apparent anticipation of a Ukrainian attack.

Outgoing “Pelosi Republican” Adam Kinzinger had a public meltdown on social media over a meme regarding the war in Ukraine and as a result, threatened popular Twitter account Catturd. Conservatives had a field day mocking the Never Trump Republican infamous for crying during a January 6 Committee hearing. “It’s dumb that I’m laughing way too hard at this,” author and Conservative wit Catturd wrote on Twitter, sharing a meme depicting a cartoon character simultaneously crying blue and urinating yellow, which formed the colors of the Ukrainian flag underneath him.

The rifle used by the alleged 22-year-old attacker who killed five at Colorado Springs’ Club Q Saturday night was purchased “legally.” ABC News reported the officials briefed on the investigation into the attack say the attacker “legally purchased” his rifle. The officials who spoke with ABC News officials also pointed out that the attacker’s “2021 arrest may not have appeared on background checks because the case does not appear to have been adjudicated.”

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN — Individuals and organizations are quitting Twitter in droves to protest Elon Musk's "recklessly violent" decision to reinstate Donald Trump's Twitter account, chief among them the Taliban. The legitimate government's final tweet read, "So long, and thanks for all the American weapons!" "Long has Twitter served as a safe haven of free speech for North Korea, Iran, Al Qaeda, and ourselves," said Taliban Spokesman Badrash Onmyrhir, still tired from a long day of lashing young women for daring to remove their head scarves. "But with Trump's return to the platform, we no longer feel safe from his violent...

Survivors of childhood cancer who consumed more total sugar, added sugar, and sugar-sweetened beverages had more aging-related health conditions than survivors who consumed less sugar. Children with cancer are often treated with harsh regimens such as chemotherapy and radiation, which can damage growing tissues and cause health problems later. One pattern that researchers have recognized is the propensity for childhood cancer survivors to develop aging-related health conditions at a younger age than the general population. Lan and colleagues identified 3,322 patients from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort who provided information about their typical diet using a food frequency questionnaire. They...

Archbishop Viganò Critiques Benedict XVI’s Theology, Decries “Permanent Revolution” of Vatican II PDF ButtonDE HOC MUNDOThe “Secularization” of Authorityas a Premise for Religious Freedom and Ecumenical DialogueTheorized by Vatican IIRegnum meum non est de hoc mundo.Jn 18:36I. IntroductionThe wound inflicted by the Second Vatican Council on the ecclesial body and — consequently — on the entire social body is anything but healed after sixty years, and indeed continues to become gangrenous with very serious damage before the eyes of all. The enthusiastic and self-congratulatory tones with which the Bergoglian Sanhedrin praises the Council cannot cancel the ruin it has brought...

So the GA runoff is 2 weeks from today. For those in GA whats going on on the ground? Other than some posts regarding getting early voting started earlier and that suit.. haven't seen much. Walker lost by .9% of the vote, and libertarian got 2.1% It's hard to see Warnock losing much of his vote, so is there a shot a walker getting any of that 2.1%? Is the GOP ground game strong enough to seriously mount the turnout needed to win? Last runoff Democrats managed to do better than a combination of the 2 D's running in first...

A group of Russian archaeologists and historians was invited to Mexico to examine the famous collection of El Toro artifacts. As a rule, these are stone and clay products, which depict various motifs of ancient Indian culture. However, among the numerous objects found, images that clearly point to paleocontact are of the greatest interest. Academic science at the beginning of the 21st century proclaimed all artifacts related to such topics as falsifications. And, by the way, about 20 thousand items have already been discovered, and their number is increasing. It was the latest artifacts from the collection that ended up...
