Actor Dick Van Dyke, who turns 99 next month, suggested he would happily not be around to see the next four years under President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in the White House.

In retrospect, maybe running the DEI hire for president was not a good idea. On the other hand, President Joe Biden's revenge plan worked perfectly. As reported by The New York Times, after his catastrophic debate, Biden’s White House staff kept presenting congressional Democrats with data proving he still had a much better chance of beating Trump than his vice president did. Then, the moment he was defenestrated, guess who Biden endorsed? Kamala Harris, the candidate he’d told them could not win. But she was a black lady, so … checkmate! Inasmuch as the sole motivating factor of the modern...

Election officials in Erie, Pennsylvania just admitted that they "incorrectly" sent duplicate mail-in ballots to almost 300 voters due to a "software issue." The county outsourced its mail-in ballot operation to a private company out of Ohio called Election IQ. I have some questions for Election no-IQ. What kind of software glitch causes two ballots to be shipped to 300 different people? Has this glitch occurred in any other election? As for Erie officials, why can't you guys handle your own mail-in voting operation? How hard can it be? Will you now terminate the contract you have with this garbage...

Tiffany questioned city clerk Witzel-Behl on how the error occurred in the first place, whether any of the duplicate ballots have been returned to the clerk's office, and whether the clerk's office has identified the person who made the mistake. Republican Wisconsin Rep. Tom Tiffany on Wednesday called for a local investigation into how 2,215 duplicate ballots mistakenly went out to voters in the state's capital of Madison. Madison officials revealed the mistake on Tuesday but said that the duplicate ballots have the same barcode as the original ballots so they cannot be counted twice. The error occurred when officials...

The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office found that around 1% of voters for the Nov. 7 special election may have received duplicate ballots, it was announced Wednesday. According to the registrar, the mistake impacts voters in the county Board of Supervisors District 4 special election and less than a dozen voters in the city of Chula Vista special election. Following the discovery of the duplicate ballots, the registrar's office "immediately contacted the print and mailing vendor to determine what happened and how many voters were impacted," according to a statement from the office. "After researching, they reported that...

UK police have resorted to new technology to police in accordance with the Public Spaces laws. Police have hired 1500 mind readers to assist the police. In the initial test, mind readers accompanied police on their rounds and arrested 100 individuals for violations of the Public Spaces laws. Accuracy of the mind readers was validated by the fact that 93 of the 100 arrested confessed during the month of their confinement before trial. The other 7 would have confessed but they unfortunately Died Suddenly before they could confess. Based upon this monumental success, the remaining mind readers will be deployed...

President Joe Biden's non-binary nuclear waste official has left the administration. Sam Brinton, 35, who uses 'they/their' pronouns, no longer has their Department of Energy job after they were accused of stealing luggage in two separate incidents. A Department of Energy spokesperson said on Monday evening: 'Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters.' Brinton, who was appointed in June, is now accused of stealing suitcases from airports in Minneapolis and Las Vegas. The White House has repeatedly refused to comment on the scandal, claiming it is a...

My synopsis: This video is commentary by Mr. Reagan. Did Lindsay Graham sabotage the midterm election by introducing a national abortion ban? Did he do this because the Deep State is afraid of a Donald Trump presidency? Why did Mitch McConnell give so little money to Trump-endorsed candidates?

Did you ever wonder where all those billions of dollars were going in Ukraine? Did you ever wonder why anyone was trusting the elites in US politics like the Bidens with billions in funds going to Ukraine? Today it turns out that these were excellent questions. …. We have information that the tens of billions of dollars going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency. Now the money is gone and FTX is bankrupt.

(KTLA) – Two female ... social media influencers say they were denied entry into a popular Los Angeles nightclub because of their size. Ella Halikas said a bouncer told her and fellow “curvy model" Alexa Jay they couldn’t follow their friends into The Highlight Room in Hollywood. “(Alexa) asked him, ‘Hey what’s going on? I’m with that party you just let in,’ and he said, ‘I know,’ and looked her up and down and said, ‘Not tonight,’” The women shared their story on social media and said it has resonated with women all over the country. “It was so dehumanizing,”...

“Melania doesn’t like the idea of strangers going rifling through her things. Who knows who touched her underwear during the raid?” Trump’s friend said. “She’s never going to feel comfortable wearing those ever again.” Shortly after the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump confirmed reports that the agents searched through Melania’s bedroom and closets. “Just learned that agents went through the First Lady’s closets and rummaged through her clothing and personal items. Surprisingly, left area in a relative mess,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Wow!” Melania Trump’s friend noted that she is a “bigger germaphobe” than the former president,...

For the Left, Donald Trump is synonymous with “fascism” (or “semi-fascism,” as Joe Biden put it the other day). And for Liz Cheney and most of the NeverTrumpers, he remains an existential threat to democracy. But to quantify those charges, what exactly has Trump done extralegally—as opposed to his bombast and braggadocio about what he might have wished to have done? And what are the standards by which to judge this supposed menace? Did Trump illegally and with a mere signature nullify over $300 billion of contracted student loans—to firm up his college-student and college-graduate base nine weeks before the...

The controversial online influencer and self-described misogynist Andrew Tate has been banned from Meta platforms Instagram and Facebook. Tate, a former kickboxer and reality TV star, was removed for violating Meta policies “on dangerous organizations and individuals”, the company confirmed by email. Tate first rose to prominence after appearing on the TV show Big Brother in 2016, when he was removed from the series after a video of him beating a woman outside the show surfaced. Since then, he has garnered backlash for his posts across social media, which domestic abuse charities have called “extreme misogyny”. He stated on Twitter...

What was once planned as a quick visit to Israel-and-the-Palestinians by President Biden has become a three-way affair, with Saudi Arabia not only added to the itinerary, but has become the main event, the meeting in Riyadh with the Saudi Crown Prince will overshadow his lightning visits to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. In Israel, Biden will attend the Maccabiah Games and no doubt discuss with Prime Minister Bennett ways for Israel to tamp down “tension” in the area – even though all such tension is provoked by the Palestinians – and he will repeat, in his conversations with both Israel...

France's highest administrative court has upheld a ban on full-body "burkini" swimsuits in public pools, rejecting an appeal by the city of Grenoble. Last month, Grenoble authorised all swimwear, including burkinis... But the court said it could not allow "selective exceptions to the rules to satisfy religious demands". France has strict laws on which swimming costumes can be worn and the issue of religious expression in public places is divisive. French opposition to the burkini stretches as far back as 2016, when several local municipalities attempted to outlaw it on beaches for violating the country's strict separation between religion and...

After lying for months, the media are preparing the public for Ukraine’s military collapse. It is long overdue. The Western media did everything in its power to give the Ukrainian defense the appearance of far greater strength than it really possessed. Russian errors were exaggerated out of all proportion to their significance. Russian losses and the true extent of Ukraine’s own losses were distorted, fabricated, or simply ignored. But conditions on the battlefield changed little over time. Once Ukrainian forces immobilized themselves in static defensive positions inside urban areas and the central Donbas, the Ukrainian position was hopeless. But this...

Donald Trump has weighed in on January 6 ahead of the made-for-tv House committee hearing spearheaded by Democrats and a few RINOS.In a post on his social media platform, TRUTH Social, Trump said that “January 6th was not simply a protest, it represented the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again.”Trump began, “The Unselect Committee didn’t spend one minute studying the reason that people went to Washington, D.C., in massive numbers, far greater than the Fake News Media is willing to report, or that the Unselects are willing to even mention, because January 6th...
