OK, I confess, I was watching Lou Dobbs on Fox. Sidney Powell was on, and broke the news that the (CIA? That's a question) programs called Hammer and Scorecard were used to tabulate votes in Michigan illegally, and accounted for a shift of 5k votes in one county. Total number of counties using these programs was 47. Sidney looked... Dead serious.

"She was able to get herself in a position where she could CHANGE THE LAW OF THE LAND." Quoting from memory but this is close to verbatim what Joe read from his notes. Isn't that an admission that RBG legislated from the bench?

"the king said to Queen Esther, “In the fortress Shushan alone the Yehudim have killed a total of five hundred men, as well as the ten sons of Haman. Esther 9:12 (The Israel Bible™)"Referring to the high number of government officials in Iran who were infected with coronavirus, Rabbi Yaakov Yagen said: “Maybe those idiots are his gilgul (reincarnation) already. A lot of them in their government are dead from (coronavirus) it that they admitted to – imagine what they’re not admitting to.” Rabbi Yagen however did imply that it’s possible that there are more higher up officials in Iran...

Last night MSNBC hosted the Democrat debate in Las Vegas, but it was the presidential town hall event hosted by CNN was that has many people now talking. A new video has surfaced of the event that is raising eyebrows. Here’s the set up: Tom Steyer is being interviewed either before the event starts or during a break – but either way, it’s not Steyer I want you to focus on. Look beyond him and you’ll see what appears to be a CNN employee in the background working as a “warmup person” for the audience. What’s odd about this, is...

The Bulge, Day One, December 16th, 1944.

Inspired by Homer Simpson's historical works from newspaper archives, this is a brief recollection of the opening days of The Battle of the Bulge, particularly the first three days of it. I will be doing this as my work schedule and time permit, so I apologize in advance that it will not be up to the same editorial standards as Homer's previous, well-known work here at FR.The intent of it is to examine the chronology of certain events leading up to the legendary defense of the crossroads city of Bastogne, Belgium by the 101st Airborne division and other elements of...

Hickok45: "We have high hopes that the NRA will come out of all this strong, lean, and more effective; however, we've come to the tough decision that we can no longer take support from the NRA or continue to use our brand to ask people to join. It was not easy yesterday to tell the NRA folks we needed to part ways, but they were very professional about it and understood.

U.S.A. -(Ammoland.com)- Large, powerful, political organizations such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) are seldom transparent or without internal struggles. The internal struggles at the NRA have been enlarged to engulf Christopher W. Cox, head of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). Christopher Cox has been suspended from his position at the head of the NRAILA.

Sometime around yesterday, someone posted a factoid about Hitler and V.I. Lenin being born on April 20th and 22nd, respectively, with another mass murderer in the middle, born on April 21st. Don't recall who it was or what thread or topic it was...

NEW YORK CITY - Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, the seventh Oklahoma Sooners football player to win college football's most coveted award. Murray beat out Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Ohio State signal caller Dwayne Haskins for the honor, handed out in New York City in front of a national television audience. Murray's win one year after Baker Mayfield's is the first back-to-back Heisman win for one school since Army West Point's Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis did it back in 1945 and 1946. Murray led the nation in total yards with 4,945 and had 51 touchdowns...

One is finding conflicting information and recommendations regarding routine maintenance of automatic transmissions. We're talking regular automobiles and light trucks here. Dealerships want to sell a "BG" flush package, where the transmission is supposedly flushed out with a pressurized system. Others recommend a more conventional approach, where a technician drains the fluid, drops the pan, pulls the filter, cleans everything up without a high-pressure hose, checks for ugly stuff, and then puts it all back together with a new filter and seals, and of course tests it... Others advocate just draining however much fluid can be drained out and then...

Can someone name this tune? It's the modernistic sounding classical piece that used to be... (not sure if it still is...) played as Hannity's intro theme. NOT the Martina Mcbride C&W song, or whatever it is that in turn took the place of it. I'm referring to the orchestral piece, with chorus. The chorus is sung in some language other than English. It's a familiar piece but I have no idea what it is or whom the composer is. I describe it as modernistic but I'm an amateur... It starts pianissimo, builds to fortissimo and resolution, at least that seems...

Since FR is the best source for advice on the planet, I have a vanity request. I've begun putting together what I call a gentleman's personal tool bag, which I carry around with myself thru the day. I'm off to a good start with it with some of the usual items... ink pen, hand wipes, aleve, certain other things but you get the idea... However I still need to add a couple of items. Particularly, I'd like to include a first aid kit. Specs are - useful but small and lightweight, but would be serviceable in the event of a...

Army gave No. 5 Oklahoma all it could handle on Saturday, nearly pulling off a huge upset. The Black Knights totally controlled the time of possession and had a chance to take the lead late in the ballgame. An Army interception, however, plus a missed field goal by OU, forced overtime and the Sooners eventually prevailed, 28-21. After coming so close to pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the season so far, the Black Knights had to be disappointed, but that did not stop them from showing tremendous respect for their host. This is what the visiting locker...
