A while back a fellow Freeper was talking about the refusal by judges to look at possible evidence of cheating in the 2020 election. They did not use the term “No Standing” or the term “Hearsay”. It was a legal phrase I had never heard before but it had to deal with a judge refusing to look into the evidence even when it was possibly valid. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you for your help.

Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not underestimate her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in a debate setting. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “Kamala Harris is running a very different campaign than she did when she ran in the 2020. She’s moving to the center on a number of issues and walked back previously held positions like calling for banning fracking. She’s gearing up to do this must-watch debate with former President Trump on Tuesday. Do you think it’s a strategic mistake that she hasn’t explained some of these positions...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. won two appeals Friday as he seeks to have his name removed from state ballots, delaying the expected first mailing of absentee ballots of the 2024 elections.In North Carolina, an appeals court said Kennedy should be removed from the ballot, a ruling that would require counties to reprint ballots which were expected to be mailed beginning Friday. It's unclear if that ruling, which reverses a lower court's denial Thursday, will be appealed. But it will at least temporarily delay the distribution of mail ballots.In Michigan, an appeals court agreed to remove Kennedy from the ballot as...

A New York judge extended Donald Trump a political lifeline on Friday, pushing back his sentencing on his conviction for falsifying business records until after Election Day. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan agreed to reschedule Trump’s sentencing date from Sept. 18 until Nov, 26, removing the potential for an unprecedented legal distraction going into the home stretch of the presidential election.

A Denver law firm, hired to look into an alleged gang takeover of an Aurora apartment building, says they found the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang began taking over the Whispering Pines Apartments in late 2023. Since then, the gang has engaged in violent assaults, threats of murder, extortion, strongarm tactics, and child prostitution as they have exerted a "stranglehold" on the Aurora apartment complex. That's according to a letter sent to Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, Aurora City Manager Jason Batchelor, and the interim police chief that was obtained by CBS News Colorado. (snip) The property manager told the law...

The Oaxaca state government and the municipality of Reyes Etla teamed up to organize the record attempt.

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) signed a dumb law requiring some retailers to install panic buttons for store employees. But-but-but I keep being told crime is down in America! But-but-but I keep being told that people like myself are exaggerating the crime that’s destroying Democrat-run cities! Panic buttons are what happens when stupid voters continue to vote for failure in the form of Democrats. “[A]mong other things,” reports Reuters, “retailers with 10 or more employees [are required] to adopt a violence prevention plan and maintain records of violent incidents for at least three years.”

Florida and Texas are within the margin of error in the presidential race between former President Trump and Vice President Harris, according to a poll released Friday. The survey from Emerson College Polling/The Hill showed Trump leading Harris in Florida by 5 points, 50 percent to 45 percent, and in Texas by 4 points, 50 percent to 46 percent. The results are a bit closer than what some other polling has found on the races but not completely out of sync with recent polls that have shown a tighter race in those states. *** The forecast model from The Hill/Decision...

n the 2000 presidential election, a mere 629 votes separated the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore in Florida. When the absentee overseas votes finally arrived, George W. Bush was able to take the 537-vote lead from Al Gore and win the presidency. Democrats paid attention. Are Democrats really interested in attracting more overseas voters, or is it the flawed voter registration system they use that could be a game-changer in our upcoming election if properly utilized by unscrupulous election officials? On August 12, 2024, the DNC released a memo announcing it would spend six figures to collect...

A CNN host discovered what we have all known for years, what Kamala Harris says and what she does are two totally different things.

A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump's sentencing on felony criminal charges until Nov. 26. "This is not a decision this Court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this Court's view, best advances the interests of justice," Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the decision handed down Friday.

More than 2 billion people regularly eat insects—on purpose. They're a great source of protein for communities around the world and some are considered delicacies reserved for special occasions. And it's entirely possible that eating bugs could become more common in the U.S. too. To discuss why the practice of eating arthropods, or entomophagy, is gaining in popularity, UCR Magazine called on Erin Wilson-Rankin, a professor in the Department of Entomology. She teaches a course for nonmajors about the history of insects, including who eats them and why.

Have you ever wondered why the lowlife, Marxist, socialist scumbag Obama -- aka ∅bummer-Boy -- did so well for 2 terms? And why is the lowlife scumbag, socialist, Marxist Kama-Lama-Ding-Dong is doing to well in the polls? So did I, but after doing some "Rush Research", I found out ***why***: The Limbaugh Theorem (great article at that link). She is, as Obama did, running against herself, and her admin's policies, and it's not real... The Limbaugh Theorem:

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” Luke 5:37–39This short parable comes at the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. He just called Levi, the tax collector, to become one of His disciples, and then Levi invited Jesus to dine at his home with other tax collectors and sinners....

Milton Friedman, Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences discusses how he balances the libertarians' desire for a small, less intrusive government with environmental, public safety, food and drug administration, and other issues.

Robert Kennedy Jr., a former independent presidential candidate, reversed course and told his supporters in every state to vote for former President Trump, the GOP presidential nominee. He previously said his supporters could still vote for him on the ballot in uncompetitive states, despite his endorsement of Trump. “No matter what state you live in, I urge you to vote for Donald Trump,” he wrote in a fundraising email on Thursday. “The reason is that is the only way we can get me and everything I stand for into Washington D.C. and fulfill the mission that motivated my campaign.” Kennedy...
