The evidence of illegal voting in the United States is shocking. Very recently, the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports released the shocking results of their survey of 1,085 national likely voters. Of the ten questions asked, I think the most disturbing responses were related to these: - “During the 2020 election, did you cast a mail-in ballot in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident?” (17% said, “Yes.”). - “During the 2020 election, did a friend, family member, or organization, such as a political party, offer to pay or reward you for voting?” (8% said, “Yes.”). -...

(KRON) — With the new year comes new changes involving housing in California. Governor Gavin Newsom signed several bills into law this year that will go into effect starting Jan. 1, 2024. Some bring changes to the workplace, others to the state’s official symbols. Here are five impacting housing that you’ll want to be aware of: 1. Security deposits Tenants will no longer have to fork over several month’s rent as a security deposit. A new bill caps the amount a landlord can charge to one month’s rent. 2. Evictions based on alleged criminal activity Tenants will not be able...

A New York appeals court has again upheld a gag order that bars Donald Trump from commenting about court personnel in his civil fraud trial, ruling Thursday that the former president’s lawyers used the wrong legal mechanism to fight the restriction. A four-judge panel in the state’s mid-level appellate court ruled Thursday that Trump’s lawyers erred by suing trial Judge Arthur Engoron, who imposed the gag order in October after Trump disparaged his law clerk. Instead, the appellate judges wrote, Trump’s lawyers should’ve followed the normal appeals process by asking Engoron to reverse the gag order and then, if denied,...

"Whether it's eating less meat or cycling instead of driving, humans can do many things to help prevent climate change.Unfortunately, breathing less isn't one of them.That might be a problem, as a new study claims the gases in air exhaled from human lungs is fueling global warming.Methane and nitrous oxide in the air we exhale makes up to 0.1 per cent of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, scientists say.And that's not even accounting for the gas we release from burps and farts, or emissions that come from our skin without us noticing.

This is not a metaphor, but what’s happening in the country, literally. I mean, you can’t make this sh*t up: https://twitter.com/satanic_temple_/status/1734937818210897994 It is 100% impossible to restrict gun rights based on the US Constitution. “Shall not be infringed” is very straightforward. However, the people in charge of the country have been violating the Constitution since the late 19th century and they threw it out completely in the 1960s.

George Santos was a constant headache for Republicans, starting when he was exposed as a con man shortly after winning a Long Island Congressional seat a year ago. That continued until this month, when he was expelled from the House after publication of a searing ethics report. But the mood among local Republicans is likely to shift now that they’ve found what appears to be a dream candidate for the Feb. 13 special election to succeed Santos. Mazi Melesa Pilip, 44, is a two-term member of the Nassau County Legislature whose life comes out of central casting. She was born...

Democratic Rep. Wiley Nickel will not run for re-election in his home state of North Carolina in 2024, instead opting to explore a run for U.S. Senate in 2026 after a GOP-led redistricting drastically changed his seat. “Republicans have rigged the system to favor themselves and I don’t have a path to run for re-election in the 13th District,” Nickel said in a statement, referencing redistricting in his state that fundamentally changed the demographic and partisan makeup of the statewide map. “But I’m not giving up and neither should you. Next year, I’m going to be working to elect North...

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s days “are numbered,” a senior Biden administration official said Thursday, pledging that “justice will be served.” Coinciding with a visit to the region by U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, the official said of Sinwar, “I think it’s safe to say his days are numbered…He has American blood on his hands.”

Republican Rep. Drew Ferguson said Thursday he won't seek reelection to his Georgia seat in 2024.

He said he plans to serve the remainder of his fourth term representing western Georgia's 3rd District, which expires at the end of next year.

"Russia lost 360,000 people in the war, according to Putin," Matveev wrote. "244 thousand mobilized. 486 thousand volunteers. And there are only 617 thousand at the front. Entertaining military mathematics from Putin. "The losses were 113 thousand people," he continued. "But there was also the invasion group and those who were recruited before mobilization. And this is around 250 thousand. That is, Putin literally admitted irretrievable losses in the amount of 363 thousand people.".. The figure does come close to the 315,000 claimed Russian troop casualties that were revealed in a leaked declassified U.S. intelligence document this week. The General...

British detectives have launched a manhunt for a boy's mother and grandfather in southern France after they allegedly kidnapped him and took him to a 'spiritual commune' six years ago where he was 'brainwashed' before he managed to escape. Alex Batty, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was just 11 when he did not return from a holiday to Spain with his mother Melanie, then 37, and grandfather David, then 58, in 2017. His grandmother and legal guardian, Susan Caruana, who has spent an agonising six years not knowing if her grandson is alive, said in 2018 that she believed her daughter...

"It was an all consuming fear that I would just stop breathing in my sleep, but still, all I wanted was to take more." "I approached my own son in the street asking for drugs, that's how low I was, benzos just destroyed my life." These are the stories of two separate people with the same catastrophic addiction to a prescription drug. Thirty years apart in age and 200 miles apart in distance, their stories are scarily similar. I meet Rory Maslen (they/them), 21, at their university flat in Leeds. As Rory sank into the sofa, they look at me...

Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Thursday that the Jan. 6 case the Supreme Court has agreed to take up "probably" applies to former President Donald Trump, in addition to a number of other Jan. 6 defendants, including his client."Look, these were not obstructions of justice," Dershowitz said during an appearance on "National Report." "These were attempts to exercise First Amendment rights to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Some of the people went too far and destroyed property, but those people who just tried to influence the congressional hearings were exercising their constitutional right. (snip)...

The Dumbing Down of America is a bold and provocative message from the late Dr. D. James Kennedy revealing the threats to education in our nation. Scripture Reference: Hebrews 2:1-9 Feature Description: The Bible’s clear that ônly fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.ö But God has largely been removed from public education.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, in a continuation of his efforts to protect Americans’ civil liberties and push for reform to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) forced a Senate vote to remove reauthorization of FISA from the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). A bipartisan group of 34 senators joined Dr. Paul in voting to remove the reauthorization of FISA from the annual NDAA. The final vote tally was 35-65, six votes short of ending domestic spying authority. Below are excerpts from Dr. Paul’s prepared remarks he delivered ahead of the vote:...
