My confidence in President Trump's eventual reelection is based on a preponderance of evidence that seems blatantly clear. But there's a chance the forces arrayed against him will not allow the truth to come out. There's also a slight chance he simply doesn't want to be president anymore.

“Today, an emergency appeal was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the election results in Pennsylvania. This appeal raises serious legal issues, and I believe the Court should hear the case on an expedited basis. “The Pennsylvania Constitution requires in-person voting, except in narrow and defined circumstances. Late last year, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that purported to allow universal mail-in voting, notwithstanding the Pennsylvania Constitution’s express prohibition. “This appeal argues that Pennsylvania cannot change the rules in the middle of the game. If Pennsylvania wants to change how voting occurs, the state must follow the law to...

One of the things happening in South Dakota is an infection rate that's among the worst in the nation, at about 8,000 cases per 100,000 people. In Vermont, another small, rural state with a Republican governor, Gov. Phil Scott has embraced safety measures, and the differences are pretty stark. Like South Dakota, Vermont has fewer than 1 million residents, most of whom don't live in cities. It has about 500 cases per 100,000 people. That's the lowest rate in the nation.

Facebook-owned Instagram on Thursday announced it will temporarily remove the “Recent” tab from hashtag pages in an effort to reduce the spread of misinformation in the run-up to the Nov. 3 U.S. election. “We’re doing this to reduce the real-time spread of potentially harmful content that could pop up around the election,” the social network said in a tweet. When people tap on or search for a hashtag on Instagram, the app shows them top results and recent results. The recent tab shows the latest content labeled with that hashtag, regardless of whether it’s relevant to the topic.

Twitter locked the account of CPB Commissioner Mark Morgan over a post that touted the progress and effectiveness of the wall on the southern border. The tweet claimed that “walls work” and that “every mile helps us stop gang members, murderers, sexual predators and drugs from entering our country,” according to a screenshot provided to The Federalist. Twitter said Morgan violated the company’s rules against “hateful conduct.” “You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease,” Twitter’s message...

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey were unable to think of any liberal person or entity that has been censored by either platform during Wednesday’s Senate hearing on big tech censorship. Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee asked Zuckerberg and Dorsey to name “one high-profile person or entity from a liberal ideology” that was barred off either platform. However, neither CEO was able to think of someone on the spot. “I can get you a list of some more of this but there are certainly many examples that your Democratic colleagues object to when … a fact-checker might...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz excoriated Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Wednesday over his company’s flagrant censorship against conservatives. Some background Dorsey and his company have come under fire over the past months for openly censoring conservatives and conservative topics on the platform, including labeling or removing multiple posts from President Trump and his campaign the company decided were in violation of its rules. Dorsey has himself been quite open about his progressive viewpoints. Back in 2018, Dorsey shared with his nearly 5 million followers on Twitter a Medium article that essentially called for the ostracizing of Republicans and their supporters because...

A former Hunter Biden business partner said Tuesday he was warned against going public with information about their business dealings when another ex-partner told him: “You’re just going to bury all of us.” During an appearance on Fox News, Tony Bobulinski said he spoke with former partner Rob Walker to demand that Walker get US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to retract his claim that The Post’s recent reporting on Hunter Biden’s emails was part of a Russian-orchestrated “smear on Joe Biden.” Host Tucker Carlson then played a snippet of an audio recording that Bobulinski said was part of the phone...

CNN this week accused conservatives of trying to ruin Big Tech’s reputation ahead of the election but failed to mention Facebook and Twitter’s censorship of the bombshell New York Post report about Hunter Biden. The CNN story: The piece, penned by CNN’s Brian Fung, suggests that there is a collective effort on the side of conservative to “discredit social media platforms.” He also notes the timing of the criticism, asserting that it escalated shortly before the presidential election. “A right-wing offensive is underway to discredit social media companies just days before the election,” Fund declared. “What began as complaints about...

During the final presidential debate on Thursday, Joe Biden pledged to transition away from fossil fuels. The statement caused alarm for many who are worried about the economic impact of losing the energy industry, and the potential devastation on the labor force. POLL: Did you watch any of the 2020 Presidential Town Halls last night? Following the debate, the campaign and Biden himself "clarified" his comments about the oil industry that drew ire. "By the way, I have a transition from the oil industry, yes," Biden said during the presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee.

A woman supporting Joe Biden was blasted on social media for saying she forced her dying father to vote for him. A video posted to Twitter on Sunday shows the woman holding up cards explaining how she got her father, apparently a lifelong Republican, to change his mind. “My 55-year-old conservative dad has never voted Democrat in his LIFE,” the cards said. “He’s dying of Aplastic Anemia. We’ve had some intense exchanges about him voting for Trump this year, which has been painful, since we’ll almost certainly lose him in the next few weeks/months.”

Seattle has had a rough go of it for 2020, and that’s not even taking into consideration the pandemic. Liberals have overtaken the city. First, they had to deal with CHAZ, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. Now, they’re dealing with radical leftist leaders who want to allow the criminals to rule while punishing the law-abiding citizens. Seattle officers are done with it all – and many are retiring years before anticipated just to distance themselves from the stupidity. While they could turn in their paperwork and go silently, they’re standing up to their oppressors. They’re being bold and honest in...

Popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God says he believes the reason President Trump is successfully reaching out to young black voters is that the president is “actually talking” to them, unlike his opponent, Democrat Joe Biden, who he said is only offering “lip service” and ignores young African Americans. “The Breakfast Club” co-host made the remarks in an appearance on CNN this week.

President Trump needed a strong debate performance to have any hope of slowing Joe Biden's momentum in the closing days of the 2020 campaign. And a strong debate performance is what he delivered. Trump didn't interrupt Biden or moderator Kristen Welker of NBC News. There was considerably less shouting than at the first debate. You could actually understand what was going on. And Trump was on message. He contrasted his record, policies, and outsider persona with Biden's. He argued for coping with the pandemic while reopening the economy and resuming in-person schooling. Perhaps most important, he defined Biden as a...

Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson revealed a letter from CNN host Chris Cuomo’s apartment building manager that called out the CNN journalist for refusing to wear a face-covering in the building in violation of state mask requirements. Before he began his report, Carlson played several clips of Cuomo, a recovered COVID-19 patient and the brother of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, strongly advocating that people wear masks, in one video even professing that he wears a mask “for you as much as I do it for me.”

A small Christian school in Oregon is suing Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and other Oregon officials after claiming the state is discriminating against private and religious schools by keeping them locked down while allowing public schools to reopen. The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed a lawsuit Friday on behalf of Hermiston Christian School, a K-12 school in Hermiston, Oregon, which has a student body of 51. The lawsuit reads in part: “After 41 years of faithful service, Hermiston Christian School (‘HCS’) could be forced to shut its doors for good unless the Court stops an obvious case of discrimination:...

Ben Shapiro put out a video explaining why he’s voting for Trump this year after not having voted for him in 2016. In the middle of a litany of policy successes, he said, “He’s resisted using the federal government to control everybody’s life during COVID. That’s a big thing. This is the biggest government power grab during my lifetime, and Trump refused to do it.” Under immense pressure by the media and other Democratic operatives, at a time when nearly all global leaders were using the pandemic as an excuse to seize greater control, Trump did not.
