Trump legal people like Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Powell ran around condemning voting machines and promoting shady allegations of fraud. But they could never produce forensic evidence of wrongdoing - and both have suffered greatly for their advocacy. ... Now, a terrible picture is beginning to emerge and ground zero is Silicon Valley, California. That's where Mark Zuckerberg lives. The Facebook chief apparently took a very large financial interest in the Trump/Biden race for the White House. How large? Well, how about $420 million dollars. ... Here's how it worked. "Vote Navigators" were paid well to canvas mostly poor neighborhoods...

... Based upon interviews with the foregoing witnesses, as well as other witnesses who were interviewed during the course of the investigation, and in the inspection of approximately 1,000 absentee ballots and ballot images, the Secretary's investigators have been unable to substantiate the allegations that fraudulent or counterfeit ballots were counted. Investigators looked into claims made by Suzi Voyles, who worked the county's risk-limiting audit and claimed to see a batch of "pristine" ballots that looked suspicious. Voyles is now running for Congress as a Republican in the 6th Congressional District. After interviewing Voyles two separate times, investigators checked several...

… As if I don't remember the moment I finally knew that my father was never coming home. Or I don't remember the sound of my sister's cries down the hall when that moment came for her. Or the day we told my grandparents that there was no one left to be rescued, that their son was somewhere in that pile of rubble and yet he wasn't there at all. The terrible sound of my grandfather's voice as he sobbed, "My baby. My baby" about his 52-year-old son. The wordless wails my grandmother made as she lay on my sister's...

haha ok, really?!? No one has bothered to post this for struggling newbies in DAX like me? In the words of our bumbling leader "C'mon Man!" Yeah ok, I get that DAX whizes probably figured this out on their first day but whatever. Thought I'd post this here, so maybe it'll show up on some search somewhere, and help a poor schlep like me out sometime, working through this for the last few WEEKS, going nowhere with this. (this is why I haven't posted anything about election irregularities by the way in recent weeks, been struggling with this dang WORK...

A Texas man who murdered five family members, including his 7-year-old and 9-month-old daughters, apologized to his in-laws and thanked his father and Jesus for turning around his life before he was executed Thursday evening. Abel Revill Ochoa, 47, was denied his last appeal an hour before his execution by lethal injection 18 years after he shot his wife, Cecilia, two daughters, Crystal and Anahi, his father-in-law, Bartolo, and his sisters-in-law Alma and Jackie with a handgun.

Got an ASUS motherboard? Are you having problems booting sometimes? Do messages regarding ‘chassis intrusion’ get displayed on your screen, and stop the boot process, even though no-one has opened the case? There might be a simple solution. Chassis Intruded! Fatal Error... System Halted. The first time I got the above message I was a bit surprised. I’m the only one that uses my computer, there are no kids in the house, and the case hadn’t been opened for months. Pressing the Reset button resulted in a clean boot, so I wasn’t worried. Computers do strange things sometimes and reboots...

Introduction Okay, last week, in my summary of "lessons learned" in the discussion with Pastor Greg Smith, I mentioned how the Achilles heel of Protestantism is infallibility - or, actually, the lack of it, in Protestant theology. No one - absolutely no one! - in Protestantism can make an infallible interpretation of any passage of Scripture. Which means, no one can make an authoritative interpretation of Scripture that is binding on anyone else, because each and any interpretation, being fallible, could be wrong. And you can't bind someone to believe in error. Which further means that Protestantism, in its most...

Republican Roy Moore, the anti-Republican establishment candidate, is tied at 42 percent...with Democrat Doug Jones in the U.S. Senate race... A Fox News Poll also finds that among just the 53 percent of Alabama registered voters who are extremely or very interested in the race, Jones has a one-point edge over Moore (46-45 percent). ...

Today is my birthday, I thought everyone should know since I have an inflated view of myself! Now all together: Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday To You! Happy Birthday Dear 47... Happy Birthday to YOUU! And may He Return Soon!!! Indeed, Maranatha, may He return soon! But sadly, today was not the Father's Will that He return. But He will some day! For now though, back to the grind of work, school, taxes, voting Democrats out of office and fighting the scourge of Islamic terror around the world. Or maybe we can focus on that tomorrow, and for now...

A widely spread photo that appears to show an anti-fascist activist beating a police officer is a doctored image. The image showing a man wielding a club and wearing an "antifa" jacket while standing over a downed officer was widely shared after the deadly violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The image has been circulating for several months among those opposed to the antifa movement, which is comprised of far-left-leaning militant groups that resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists.

As a former White House chief of staff, the best advice I could have given Gen. John F. Kelly has been overtaken by events: Don’t take the job. Kelly, who has rendered extraordinary service and sacrifice to the nation, just signed up for what may truly be an impossible mission: bringing discipline, order and strategic focus to the chaos that is the Trump White House. To have any chance of succeeding, he will have to accomplish three extraordinary tasks, all at odds with President Trump’s instincts....

My grandmother passed away early this morning in her sleep. It was expected from her condition, and it was by all indications a peaceful death but still sad news. Please pray for her if you are so inclined, her name is Helen, as well as our family during this time. Thank you.

... The amendment authored by Lee and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, would have allowed insurers to sell plans that don't comply with Obamacare insurer mandates such as protections for people with pre-existing conditions. The catch was they had to at least sell a plan that does. But experts and insurers questioned whether people with pre-existing illnesses such as cancer or diabetes would face higher premiums. The thinking goes that only sick people would buy the Obamacare plans and healthy people would go to the ostensibly cheaper non-Obamacare plans. It remains unclear what the new provision is. An outline of the...

Over 130 Muslim religious leaders have refused to say funeral prayers for the terrorists who took part in Saturday’s London Bridge attack, a decision that was seen as “unprecedented” because the ritual is usually performed on the deceased no matter his past actions. The imams and religious leaders agreed not to say the prayers and urged other leaders to join them. The decision was made as Muslim community leaders came out to support the effort to report extremism in their neighborhoods. “We, as Muslim Imams and religious leaders, condemn the recent terror attacks in Manchester and London in the strongest...

A New Jersey family fed up with getting creepy notes about their "young blood" is seeking to demolish the spooky home coveted by a mysterious figure known as "The Watcher." The anonymous letter-writing weirdo has pestered Derek and Maria Broaddus with eerie messages since they purchased the six-bedroom house for nearly $1.4 million in 2014, according to the family. ... The Broaddus' filed suit against the town of Westfield after its planning board rejected their plan to raze the house and subdivide the land so they could build two houses. They say they can't live in the house because of...

A mass grave containing the remains of babies and young children has been discovered at a former Catholic orphanage in Ireland, government-appointed investigators announced Friday in a finding that offered the first conclusive proof following a historian's efforts to trace the fates of nearly 800 children who perished there. The judge-led Mother and Baby Homes Commission said excavations since November at the site of the former Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway, had found an underground structure divided into 20 chambers containing "significant quantities of human remains." The commission said DNA analysis of selected remains confirmed...

Conspiracy theorists have been warning a massive planet – called Planet X or Nibiru – will wipe out life on Earth for some time. Now a paranormal researcher claims to have combined astronomy, scientific research and the Bible to calculate the date of the apocalypse. ... Meade claims the Book of Revelation, in the Bible, says when Nibiru will reveal itself. Revelation 12: 1-2 speaks of a “sign in heaven” of “a woman clothed with the Sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head”. Using computer models of the movement of the...
