The Biden White House has said that it is in a "different place" after President Joe Biden as well as others have spent months calling President-elect Donald Trump a "fascist" as well as an “existential threat," and Trump and Biden met in what appeared to be a friendly meeting after Trump stood victorious against Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5 in the presidential election. When she was pressed by media on Biden no longer using the phrases since Trump was elected, Jean-Pierre replied that Biden is "now in a situation where we have to deal with a peaceful transfer...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that President Joe Biden “still stands” by his claim that President-elect Donald Trump is an “existential threat,” even though he also wants a peaceful transfer of power. Jean-Pierre was asked about Biden’s earlier descriptions of Trump during the campaign, given his warm reception for Trump last week and seeming comfort with the idea of a man Democrats likened to Adolf Hitler returning to office. Critics on both sides of the aisle have suggested that Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris never really believed Trump was an existential threat to America at all,...

Election officials have confirmed widespread problems with voting machines and software on Election Day in two heavily Republican counties in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. Officials have confirmed issues with scanning ballots in Cambria and Bedford counties, which former President Donald Trump won four years ago with 68% and 83% of the vote. “The Cambria County Board of Election learned early this morning that a software malfunction in the County’s Electronic Voting System has prevented voters from scanning their ballots,” Cambria County Solicitor Ron Repak said in a statement. “This should not discourage voters from voting at their voting...

Only 17% of about 2,500 voter registration applications the Lancaster County district attorney was reviewing have been found to be fraudulent so far, county officials said Monday. Another 26% are still being reviewed and 57% were verified as legitimate applications.*** The county's announced investigation in many ways proved the system's controls against fraud were working. But it has still fueled misinformation about Pennsylvania's elections. Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly falsely claimed that the applications were in fact fake ballots. He revisited that claim during a rally over the weekend claiming the county found "2,600 ballots all done by the...

ActBlue, the Democratic fundraising platform that has collected millions of dollars for Kamala Harris, has been named in a bombshell racketeering lawsuit by a Wisconsin Republican strategist who alleges his identity was stolen to make at least 385 fraudulent donations to left-wing causes — including to the Harris Victory Fund.Mark Block, former chief of staff to Republican 2012 presidential candidate Herman Cain, alleges that a total of $884.38 given in his name and without his knowledge between May and October was designed to circumvent federal election law and may be part of a larger scam involving tens of thousands of...

You don't believe you gained your wealth on the backs of the poor. You are not wealthy, but want to be, but don't wish to rob or scam anyone to get that way. You don't feel guilty about wanting to keep more of what you've earned. You don't hate or wish to punish the people who have more than you, simply because they have more than you.

The World Bank will give equal weight to curbing emissions and helping poor countries deal with the “disastrous effects” of a warming world as it steps up investments to tackle climate change in the first half of the 2020s, it said on Monday. The bank and its two sister organizations plan to double their investments in climate action to about $200 billion from 2021-2025, with a boost in support for efforts to adapt to higher temperatures, wilder weather and rising seas. The latest figures on international climate funding for developing nations show barely a quarter has been going to adaptation,...

Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with the Atlantic on Monday that while “terrorism is a real threat … it’s not an existential threat to the existence of the democratic country of the United States of America.” […] “My dad used to say to me, ‘Champ, if everything is equally important to you, nothing is important to you,’” Biden said. “So the hardest thing to do, I’ve found in 44 years, is to prioritize what really are the most consequential threats and concerns, and allocate resources relative to the nature of the threat.” Biden characterized his system of...

Monckton: Obama crew 'existential threat' to U.S. But warns GOP not in position to reverse socialism John Griffing recently interviewed Lord Monckton, who is sounding the alarm that unless the current warnings are heeded, the West is on the precipice of financial and political collapse. Lord Monckton: "The U.S. Constitution, perhaps to a unique degree, is a document that defines not the duties of the people to their government but the duties of the government to the people. In terms of present-day politics, all forms of Socialism are variants of Legalism, while the enlightened live-and-let-live approach that your founding fathers...
