A homosexual federal judge has endorsed a Colorado state LGBT agenda point signed into law by a gay governor that imposes viewpoint discrimination on Christian counselors, threatening them with so-called "unprofessional conduct" charges if they encourage clients who want to rid themselves of same-sex attractions to do just that. They can, however, encourage clients to pursue homosexual behavior. It's part of a worldwide agenda against the fact that some people want to leave homosexuality, and, in fact, do. Such cases destroy the LGBT community's claim that people are "born" that way.

We have entered a time warp and are now in 2015 and 2016. Donald Trump will never be president, we hear from everyone. Evidence for same includes that Trump-endorsed candidates for Senate were defeated in the recent midterms. He must be the kiss of death the national media proclaim. The "let's blame Trump" crowd forget the Dobbs decision "ending abortion," the great student loan scam, the marijuana legalization ploy, and the Big Lie about losing our democracy. All of these are chimeras. Abortion is not illegal — just turned over to the states which are mostly protecting it quite well....

That was a big mistake, and every painful moment was captured on video.Savannah Sprague from California warned a bully that she did not want to fight. Varsity cheerleader Savannah Sprague repeatedly told a bully that she did not want to fight.

“This is a huge victory for Moscow over Washington,” former national security director John Bolton declared this morning on CBS. “It endangers other Americans in the future, who can be grabbed and used by bargaining chips,” he said of the swap of Brittney Griner for Viktor Bout, one of the world’s most dangerous men before his arrest and conviction.Bolton also revealed in this clip that the Trump administration had an offer to trade Paul Whelan for Bout two years ago. They passed, and as Bolton says, “for very good reasons” (via Caleb Howe at Mediaite):The 1-for-1 prisoner swap of Brittney...

In May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed into law No. 7172-1 that will ban opposition parties and seize their property. The law targets opposition parties if they deny the armed aggression against Ukraine.The law includes actions that support the Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus, the two invading countries.The news was first published on the Ukrainian news website UKRinform. This news was reported the same day US GOP Senators paid him a visit in Kyiv to show their support.Zelenskyy also closed all of the TV stations and consolidated them into one state-run channel.“Ukraine has had to take extraordinary measures to...

The use of flash drives in the election process has been well documented. New evidence suggests that these flash drives aren’t used for reporting election results by the media. We first became aware of the use of flash drives during the 2020 Election when an individual in Milwaukee misplaced a flash drive and was forced to turn around and go get it at about the same time that 145,000 votes were recorded for Joe Biden only in the state. There were other reports on the misuse of flash drives and the related lack of controls that we shared over the...

For decades the Democrats and leftists have fought ferociously to prevent the cleanup of State voter registration rolls. Recognizing a potential niche, left wing activists created ERIC to clean voter rolls their way, using their rules. So in 2012 the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was formed as a membership organization primarily for blue States. ERIC is essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up. But it’s been gaining traction in Red States too. Originally funded by the Soros Open Society, it is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in 31 States, plus D.C....

Sometimes it seems like nothing ever happens, but this seems like it could be a big deal… Background: The Brazilian people have flooded the streets in protest at an allegedly rigged and stolen election. Truckers are blocking all highways. Farmers have blocked all ports from exporting agriculture. Bolsonaro has exhausted his legal options, with his election appeal being rejected by a corrupt, opposition-appointed Chief Supreme Court justice. Bolsonaro is now huddling with the military to plot his next moves. What is Article 142? The lying New York Times explains: Many of the protesters said their demands for intervention were supported...

The now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX donated $1 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a Super PAC associated with Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), two weeks prior to declaring bankruptcy. FTX first filed for Chapter 11 protection two weeks ago. During the 2020 presidential campaign, now-former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried donated over $5 million to Joe Biden. During the 2022 midterm election cycle, Bankman-Fried doled out $40 million dollars to mostly Democratic politicians, making him the party’s second-largest financial backer after George Soros. According to FTX’s latest filing with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the cryptocurrency exchange also gave $750,000...

Last week, former President Donald Trump announced that he is running for a second term as president. Great! Let the 2024 race begin, democracy proceeds! Unless. Unless Attorney General Merrick Garland gets his way in a full-scale assault on democracy. In the style of a banana republic, Garland said this: Based on recent developments, including Trump’s announcement that he is a candidate for president in the next election, and the current president’s intention to be a candidate in the next election, I have concluded it is in the public interest to appoint a special counsel. Got that? Because Joe Biden...

The congressional midterm elections are thankfully over. Predictions of a red wave, including by yours truly, didn’t materialize. Instead, it was more of a pink trickle with the GOP flipping the House. The Senate is still up for grabs, with the best outcome for the GOP being a 50-50 split, depending on the Georgia run-off results. Red wave predictions made sense at the time, given President Biden’s unpopularity and incompetence, leading to a declining America. This includes 40-year high inflation, a recession, open borders, energy shortages, supply chain disruptions, World War III simmering in Ukraine, and a woke culture ruining...

In July, Joe Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, told CNN the southern border is secure. Of course, this was an outright lie and everyone knows it including Secretary Mayorkas. Over 5.5 million illegal aliens have entered the US in the first 20 months of Joe Biden’s administration. There are no barriers keeping out illegals and they are welcomed into the US as soon as they step foot into the country. Once again on Tuesday DHS Secretary was asked if the US southern border is secure. Mayorkas, once again, answered, “Yes.” This is the type of evil we are...

A common trope from supporters of the likely presidential run of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is that he stopped COVID lockdowns in his state during the height of the pandemic while President Donald Trump was pushing them from the White House.But the record shows that this is not what occurred. DeSantis used his authority as governor to enforce lockdowns, shuttering businesses, and use the power of the state to punish noncompliance with his edicts.Video from June 2020 shows DeSantis threatening bars with revoking their liquor licenses unless they abided by his arbitrary restrictions enacted supposedly in the name of science:For...

On Thursday night, with midterm races still yet to be called in key states that will determine the balance of power in Congress, former President Donald Trump issued a statement targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who walloped Democrat Charlie Crist in one of the few clear GOP victories of what was supposed to be a national "red wave" night in repudiation of President Biden's agenda. Trump's lengthy statement began by using his new nickname for DeSantis — for whom he voted in Florida this week — "DeSanctimonious," and called him "an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations" who "has...

I’ve written before about data analyst David Shor. He’s a progressive who found himself canceled back in 2020 after he tweeted some data suggesting that riots made for bad politics. That didn’t go over well in the BLM summer and he got fired. But he’s become a leading figure on the left both for analyzing election data but also for warning Democrats about repeating deeply unpopular phrases like “defund the police” or terms like “Latinx.” He wants Dems to win and he can see certain woke terms are just off-putting to voters.Today New York Magazine published an interview with Shor...

Former President Donald Trump has been under attack since he began stumping for GOP candidates ahead of the midterms. Those incendiary remarks have gone into overdrive since Election Day on Wednesday, even from Republican supporters who spoke out against him after he referred to Florida governor Ron DeSantis as “Ron DeSanctimonious” during a final rally pre-midterm rally in Pennsylvania.Throughout the election, Trump has been a top supporter of Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, which earned his criticism, most notably from one of his biggest media adversaries, Maggie Hagaman of the New York Times. After Oz’s stunning loss to John...

Resolute ‘America First’ proponent Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for Governor of Arizona, told her supporters that voters are “tired of shoddy elections run by imbeciles” as the state continues to wait for midterm election results to be announced.Lake, one of Donald Trump’s most high-profile election-integrity candidates, is neck and neck with Democrat Katie Hobbs in the race for governor. But Hobbs’s grip on power is slipping away, and Lake is ready to declare her victory.Arizona is a battleground state that could determine which party controls Congress; however, it could take several days for Democrats to get their head around...
