‘When the law demands three signatures on tabulator tapes and the county fails to follow the rules, those 315,000 votes are, by definition, uncertified.’ arlier this month, Fulton County admitted that approximately 315,000 early votes from the 2020 election were illegally certified but were nonetheless still included in the final results of that election. The admission came during a Dec. 9 hearing before the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) stemming from a challenge filed by David Cross, a local election integrity activist. Cross filed a challenge with the SEB in March 2022. Cross alleged that Fulton County violated Georgia statute...

Willis had attempted to prosecute Trump and 18 of his allies in the state on racketeering charges for allegedly attempting to overthrow the 2020 election. The district attorney said Wednesday that she stands by her attempt to prosecute the group. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis defended her prosecution of President Donald Trump and his allies Wednesday during a three-hour-long hearing in front of the Georgia state Senate. The Senate Special Committee on Investigation has been warring with Willis over a subpoena first issued in 2024, and the hearing comes after the state Supreme Court heard oral arguments over Willis'...

Nick Reiner made his first court appearance in Los Angeles today on homicide charges for his parents' double murder. The 32-year-old was seen in jeans and an anti-suicide vest without a shirt underneath. He did not enter a plea and his arraignment has been continued until January 7. When judge asked Reiner if he agreed to to waive his right to a speedy arraignment, he said: 'Yes, your honor.' Nick's lawyer, Alan Jackson, made a statement to the public saying that there were 'very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case,' and asked that 'throughout this...

Levy went as far as to praise Diaz for illegally crossing the border several times, saying, “I commend you for supporting your family, for expressing your devotion to them and for working here in the United States in jobs that Americans apparently do not want to work in and certainly not for the wages that were undoubtedly abusive of your work for them.”

“And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2: 9-11 Our friends down under have experienced a slaughter on their beach.

Explanation: Stars are forming in the Soul of the Queen of Aethopia. More specifically, a large star forming region called the Soul Nebula can be found in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia, whom Greek mythology credits as the vain wife of a King who long ago ruled lands surrounding the upper Nile river. Also known as Westerhout 5 (W5), the Soul Nebula houses several open clusters of stars, ridges and pillars darkened by cosmic dust, and huge evacuated bubbles formed by the winds of young massive stars. Located about 6,500 light years away, the Soul Nebula spans about 100...

She’s Kathy Kevorkian. Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday she’ll sign a controversial doctor-assisted suicide bill – capping a years-long battle over making New York a state that allows terminally ill people to take their own lives. Many religious leaders and disability advocates quickly condemned Hochul’s decision to approve the Medical Aid in Dying Act, while the governor cast it as civil rights issue on par with gay marriage. “The right to spend their final days not hearing the droning hum of hospital machines but instead the laughter of their grandkids echoing in the next room. The right to tell their...

Former Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has slammed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, delivering a passionate 50-minute speech at a Bondi Beach vigil in front of mourners and news crews. The former politician, who is Jewish, urged the PM to “take personal responsibility” for Sunday’s mass shooting, saying the government has “failed” the Jewish community. He also offered an 8-point plan of what the Government should do - taking aim at everything from neo-Nazis, the immigration system, Islamic extremism, and pro-Palestine protests.

Once the darling of American transplants, Florida’s appeal seems to have dimmed. Just three years ago, Florida ranked among the nation’s top destinations for people making a move. But that momentum seems to have faded. Florida still offers the warm climate and favorable tax structure that remain major draws, but it’s lost ground on the crucial affordability factor. In the year through November, just over half of global moving company Atlas Van Lines’ Florida-related moves were inbound, the firm said in its annual Migration Patterns Study — a near-even split between people moving in and moving out that marks a...

Last night, the San Francisco chapter was set on fire. During the final Shabbat of the semester—while students and staff were inside preparing for services—an attempted antisemitic mass-casualty attack was carried out at a Jewish building in San Francisco. Police have confirmed it was arson: a suspect arrested, significant damage done, the building shut down, and Shabbat and Chanukah events canceled. This is the inevitable consequence the moment campus quads were allowed to morph into open-air terror rallies, from the moment chants for intifada were tolerated and even encouraged, and from the moment administrators decided calls for Jewish death qualified...

WARSAW, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Polish security services have detained a 19-year-old student suspected of seeking to establish contacts with Islamic State and charged with preparing an attack at a Christmas market that could have caused mass casualties, authorities said on Tuesday. Mateusz W., a student at the Catholic University of Lublin, wanted to commit an attack using explosives and planned to join a terrorist organization, said Jacek Dobrzynski, a spokesperson for Poland's special services. "The man was very fascinated by Islam, sought to establish contacts with the Islamic State, and was preparing an attack in Poland, in one of...

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is preparing to quit the Trump administration in the next few weeks, according to a report. Bongino has started boxing up 'knick-knacks' from his office in Washington, DC, and sending them back to Florida, where he plans to return to work as a pro-Trump broadcaster ahead of the midterm elections, sources told The New York Times. The former podcaster and Fox News host gave up a lucrative media career earlier this year to join the Trump administration. However, his brief tenure has been marked by a public ambivalence about the role, as well as internal...

Paris insists that the decision to cancel its New Year’s Eve open-air concert on the Champs-Élysées is merely a matter of crowd control. Officials speak of logistics, unpredictability and prudence. Yet few observers truly believe this is the whole story. The reality, uncomfortable though it may be, is that Europe’s great capitals are quietly recalibrating public life in response to a persistent and ideologically driven threat — one that has now asserted itself far beyond Europe’s borders. Seen in this light, Paris’s muted New Year feels less like administrative caution and more like an admission of reality – Europe’s Muslim...

It was an honor to be recognized by President Trump at the White House Christmas Party. It is an even bigger honor that the President of the United States @POTUS just scooped me on publicly announcing my own engagement to the world from the White House! 💍 I’m very excited to be getting married, and I am thrilled that the greatest President ever approves of the greatest man in my life. ❤️ Thank you, President Trump!

PROVIDENCE, RI — Leadership at Brown University, frustrated with the lack of progress in tracking the shooter who killed two students and injured many more on December 13, has reportedly recruited Police Chief Clancy Wiggum of Springfield to assist in the case. "Two deaths and nine injuries — sounds like the work of rowdy teens!" Wiggum said in a press conference as he laid out his progress on the case. "I talked with the FBI profiler, and she said it was some lone nut, but that's nuts." Chief Wiggum has been busy since arriving in Rhode Island just days ago....

Two years ago, I'm driving through Nebraska. 2 a.m. See a car pulled over. Hazards on. Woman standing outside. Looking scared. I pulled over. She backed away when she saw me. I'm 6'4", 280 pounds, covered in tattoos. I get it. "Ma'am, I'm not stopping to hurt you. I'm stopping to help. What's wrong?" Her car died. Phone dead. She'd been there three hours. Nobody...
