Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is facing a powerful defamation lawsuit arising from false claims he made about a Republican election volunteer in his 2021 book “Integrity Counts.” He wrote and published that a video presentation of unsupervised ballot counting at State Farm Arena in Atlanta had been “doctored,” “chopped up,” “cut,” “sliced up,” and “deceptively sliced and edited so that it appeared to show the exact opposite of reality,” allegedly including a “slice of video that had removed the clear evidence” that the law had been followed. None of that was true. Jacki Pick, a Republican volunteer on...

President Obama made a crude joke about the size of President Trump’s manhood. The crass remark came during his address to delegates at the Democratic National Convention meeting in Chicago. Obama, using his hands to illustrate, suggested Trump’s manhood was small. What’s even more curious is why Obama would be obsessed with another man’s nether regions.

A judge blasted Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for trying to throw the book at two New Yorkers who bought fake COVID-19 vaccine cards — despite routinely going easy on others charged with far more serious crimes.

During a private briefing before Congress on Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin threatened to deploy American troops to Ukraine if further aid funding for the war-torn nation is not approved by Congress.Breitbart reports that during the briefing, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-Texas), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, took Austin’s side and claimed without evidence that “if [Vladimir] Putin takes over Ukraine, he’ll get Moldova, Georgia, then maybe the Baltics.”“And then the idea that we’ll have to put troops on the ground in Secretary Austin’s word was very likely,” McCaul continued. “That’s what we’re trying to avoid.”Meanwhile, Speaker Mike...

Note: I discovered rather quickly that this video is a new simulation of the TWA800 disaster, but that is obviously NOT how it is presented. The following is how this video is presented by the YT publisher, 'the last mayday':Normally, the average flight from New York to Rome takes 8 hours and 24 minutes. Emphasizing 'normally.' However, during the horror flight of TWA 800, this was anything but normal. Just fifteen minutes after takeoff, the pilot received a distressing message:"Look at that crazy fuel flow indication on number four."What is going on here? Stay tuned!A Boeing 747-100, carrying 230 passengers...

NBC News contributing “journalist” Simon Moya-Smith, 39, who is also a lecturer at the University of Colorado at Denver, recently put out the following tweet:“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion.

She doesn’t need us.” Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion.

Dee Snider took aim at former President Donald Trump’s supporters, claiming that “MAGAT FASCISTS” and others like them were the reason behind Twisted Sister’s iconic anthem “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Snider alternated between all-caps and normal text in a tweet that mirrored the tone of the angry protest rock for which he is famous. --snip-- ATTENTION QANON, MAGAT FASCISTS: Every time you sing "We're Not Gonna Take It" remember it was written by a cross-dressing, libtard, tree hugging half-Jew who HATES everything you stand for. It was you and people like you that inspired every angry word of that...

[Catholic Caucus] Repair scandal through the healing of the EucharistPity the grocery shoppers in Buffalo, the school kids in Texas, their grieving families, and everyone now more afraid than ever of doing those simple, everyday things. You’ve got to wonder about reasons for refusing reasonable limits on gun ownership, which are inspired by the common good and offering protection from harm. We readily identify things like abortion and capital punishment as life issues, which Catholic teaching identifies as absolutely wrong under any circumstance. But protecting the earth, our common home, or making food, water, shelter, education and health care accessible,...

"Upon completing her first trip to Alaska, Secretary Haaland left with a “parting gift” of more Washington restrictions, declaring that millions more acres that were once open to oil and gas exploration would be locked under environmental regulation."

It all comes back to Biden’s brutal bungling of the Afghanistan pull-out, including the emptying of the prison at Bagram.History is teaching us a lesson in real-time. Under one party’s administration, violent jihadis are running scared. Under the other one, they flourish.

After a quiet January that saw one horror sequel and the same holiday releases putter out over several weeks, the domestic box office finally has a new leader.

Please excuse the personal nature of this story but I am getting very desperate and I thought there would be others on here that have dealt with a similar situation who might have advice/suggestions/etc My son married this gal (SWMBO) 10 years ago. As time has gone on she has become more and more: Controlling, domineering, misandristic (hatred of men), you name the pathology. Obviously, sad to admit, my son has completely lost his balls. He works hard and prefers to lay back and let her run roughshod over my 3 grandkids, me, him and whoever else might cross her...

The head of Dominion Voting Systems, John Poulos, revealed he broke down in tears as he watched Rudy Giuliani's infamous 'sweaty' press conference, where the former mayor of New York accused the company of rigging the 2020 election. As a bead of sweat mixed with hair dye dripped down his face, Giuliani, working as a personal attorney for former President Trump, said in the November 2020 news conference that Dominion 'specializes in voter fraud.' Oh, my God!' Poulos screamed as he heard the accusations, according to an interview he gave to the New York Times Magazine. 'I can't believe what's...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said former President Donald Trump should stop peddling conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen, arguing that the claims are inconsistent with putting America first and damage the Republican Party’s efforts to blunt President Joe Biden’s agenda. “I think it would be better if he accepted the results of the 2020 election. And I think that would be better for the country. There hasn't been any type of substantive evidence that has come forward,” the former two-term governor and Republican 2024 contender said during a virtual appearance at the annual Texas Tribune Festival.

In a resignation letter he shared publicly on Monday night, 68-year-old West slammed Harvard's administration and revealed a litany of personal and professional complaints.

"Israel is Winning Battles, Hamas is Winning the War." So ran the headline in the Jerusalem Post atop an analysis of the Gaza war, which began, "The IDF is registering great achievements in Operation Guardian of the Walls, but meanwhile the house appears to be collapsing from within." Hard to disagree. Consider this New York Times commentary about Israel's prime minister from the runner-up to the Democratic presidential nominee in the primaries of 2016 and 2020, Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Mr. Netanyahu has cultivated an increasingly intolerant and authoritarian type of racist nationalism ...(and) legitimized these forces ... by bringing them...
