Georgia Democrats have announced that they are suing the state over not allowing early voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in the Warnock-Walker Senate runoff, despite voting law saying ballot boxes can only open the following Monday. The party says the lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County by the Warnock for Georgia campaign, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), and the Democratic Party of Georgia is meant to "protect Georgians’ access to Saturday early voting." "Illegal attempts to block Saturday voting are another desperate attempt by career politicians to squeeze the people out of their own democracy...

Did the Rev Al stay up a bit too late overnight, watching Steve Kornacki at the Big Board? The question arises because this morning, Sharpton made a statement so strange that it made you wonder about his state of mind. On Morning Joe, asked by Joe Scarborough to comment on the meaning of Georgia having voted "to elect America’s first black vice president in November, and . . . the Democratic party’s first black senator after four years of Donald Trump," Sharpton responded: "It means that this country has really come back unto showing that we’re not going backwards to...

Advisers to President-elect Joe Biden signaled Tuesday they were privately skeptical of Democrat chances in winning the Georgia Senate runoff election. “Privately, Biden’s team does not expect to win the races, according to Democratic officials,” Politico reported, but clarified that they were “more optimistic about their chances than they were weeks ago.”

Investors will have their eyes peeled on the Georgia run-off elections on Tuesday to determine which party will control the Senate. A Democratic win of the two contested Senate seats could trigger a selloff in the markets, according to Oppenheimer strategist John Stoltzfus. “Should the Democrats win both seats, we expect the S&P 500 to become vulnerable to a downdraft in the neighborhood of 6% to 10%,” wrote Stoltzfus in a note to investors. “In our experience the markets prefer that Washington’s Capitol Hill have enough checks and balances in place to keep political power out of just one party’s...

Source: Credit Perdue for SenateOn January 5, 2021, Georgia voters will put a capstone on a disastrous 2020 by deciding which party controls the U.S. Senate. And truly, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Georgians will either decide to put a check on a future-President Joe Biden’s worst leftist influences and impulses, or they’ll choose permanent one-party rule. And by one-party rule, I do mean one … party … rule. Soviet-style, but with a smile (at least at first). If it weren’t so deadly serious, it would be comical that the future of our country comes down to not one but...

Nothing bespeaks a city's healthy, vibrant culture like a big "adult entertainment industry," and the proliferation of strip clubs! At least, if you listen to Tiffany Cross . . . On her MSNBC show this morning, Cross devoted a segment to a political ad currently running in Georgia called, "Get Your Booty to the Poll." It features strippers dancing around a "pole" urging black voters to get to the "poll" in the Senate run-off elections. Cross had as a guest the creator of the ad. Cross bragged about how the "adult entertainment industry" in Atlanta brings in more money than...

A federal judge has agreed to allow a Georgia county to require that certain voters cast provisional ballots, just days before two runoff elections in the state that will decide control of the U.S. Senate. More than 4,000 voters faced eligibility challenges ahead of the Jan. 5 runoffs based on unverified postal change-of-address records. The new injunction from U.S. District Court Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, issued just before midnight on Wednesday, replaces an earlier restraining order she had issued that prevented Muscogee County from forcing those voters to cast provisional ballots at all. The latest order represents a significant move...

When the Supreme Court of Chief Justice John Roberts rejected the lawsuit of the state of Texas and other states that said the election rules in contested battleground states like Pennsylvania were unconstitutionally written, SCOTUS ruled that it could not prove Texas or its citizens suffered harm by the processes by which another state selects electors and writes election rules. This of course is nonsense. Supreme Court Justices are like field goal kickers. They have one job. In the case of SCOTUS, it is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. We are a union...

Democrat Stacey Abrams cheered 7.7 million registered voters in Georgia just in time for the January 5th Senate runoff elections. Does this surprise anyone? In November Democrats, with the assistance of Republican leadership in the state, were able to flip a reliably Republican state to Joe Biden who campaigned in his basement. Democrats used dead voters, criminals, phantom voters, late-night ballot dumps, criminal drop boxes and stashed suitcases filled with Biden ballots to steal the state, so far, for Dementia Joe. ...... Snip...... The GOP DID NOTHING to fix the criminal activity in the election! And now Stacey Abrams has...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff’s plan to ban semiautomatic rifles is reminiscent of Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s not-so-distant pledge to take away Americans’ AR-15s. It was during the 2019 Democrat presidential primary when O’Rourke said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” O’Rourke bobbed and weaved for weeks when questioned about the confiscatory pledge. Then, in typical Democrat fashion, tried to paint police enforcement of a ban on AR-15 ownership as something other than confiscation. On October 16, 2019, he told MSBNC’s Morning Joe that police would go to homes to “recover” the rifles from the non-compliant once...

Suzanne Guy and her neighbors hold the future of the United States in their hands. Mrs. Guy lives in Georgia, where two Senate races to be decided in January will determine the direction of the country. “Who would have thought that our state would be the epicenter of all this,” said Mrs. Guy, a pro-life activist who lives in Marietta. “Never in a million years would I have thought it would come to this.” As everyone by now knows, the outcome of the Georgia elections will determine control of the U.S. Senate. Republicans need at least one candidate – either...

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat vying for one of Georgia's two contested Senate seats, claims his Republican opponent, incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler, is running "smear ads." She is "taking things I've said out of context from over 25 years being a pastor," says Warnock. Loeffler warns Warnock is a "radical liberal" who would change America. Warnock denies it. Sorry, Reverend, but you proved yourself the extremist during Sunday night's nationally televised debate. In your own words, there was nothing edited or taken out of context. At the debate, Warnock didn't deny he wants to eliminate cash bail and empty...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff (GA) is endorsed by Giffords, the Gabby Giffords-founded gun control group focused on firearm laws and legislation. Ossoff is headed toward a January 5, 2021, runoff election against incumbent Sen. David Perdue (R-GA). And whereas Perdue is pro-Second Amendment, anti-gun control, Ossoff wants to ban the sales of semiautomatic rifles and magazines Democrats deem “high capacity.” Moreover, he wants to institute red flag laws, universal background checks for gun purchases, place more restrictions on gun shows, and license that semiautomatic rifles and handguns that are already privately owned. The NRA endorsed Perdue, seeing him as...
