Who and what we are is a huge determinant of what we can be. A Biden presidency born in stripping his predecessor of the basic right to speak cannot end well. Can Biden find a way to be magnanimous to Donald Trump?

It feels as though the entire universe is against Trump (and those who voted for him). Public opinion dictates that there are no more options for Trump from here on out. "Give up! He lost!" "How did he not see this coming? Maybe he didn't deserve to win!" "I just can't see a way out of this...maybe we should accept our future of a Biden Administration." "After last week at the Capital Trump has truly destroyed his legacy." "I thought Trump was a winner! Why has he given up??" With all of the events the past two months, what does...

Kenneth R. Timmerman today properly reminds us that it is leaders, not institutions, that have betrayed us. James S. Corum reminds us today of the deep bench that resides in the party below the level of top congressional leaders — and the formidable power of state governments and political organizations under GOP control. Discarding these tools amounts to unilateral disarmament just as we need them in the critical elections ahead. Leaders can be influenced and discarded, but institutions take a long time to build. We have state-level redistricting in immediate prospect and a midterm election in less than 22 months....

Conservatives must boycott Big Tech companies. Those companies, the FAANG companies + Twitter, are tyrannical. They must be stopped. If we boycott Big Tech, then we might be able to get them to backdown and reopen the public square. If not, then at least we will have found products to use that won’t use the money they make to destroy America. Finally, one other thing everyone should do to boycott Big Tech is sell their stocks in those companies. If you’re an investor, you might be invested in some of those. They’ve delivered great returns. But they’ve used that money...

Now we know you are weak, we"ll create our own revolution.! AURORA-US Fired, and you just, like, nothing, nothing, nothing...

Trump protesters just broke into the Capitol. Video of Capitol break-in. Trump protesters are demanding to see senators.

In the November race, Doug Collins and Kelly Loeffler earned 1.1 million more votes than Warnock.

Opinion writer Bari Weiss got chased out of The New York Times for her political views — not because she’s an uncompromising conservative, but because she is a moderate. In our team-sports era of politics as tribal warfare, we’re expected to be all-in for one side or the other. Figures such as Weiss or slightly nonconforming public figures such as author J. K. Rowling (a liberal feminist who expresses some reservations about transgender orthodoxy) or Goya CEO Robert Unanue (whose firm is being boycotted because he said something nice about Donald Trump) are a problem for the cheap moralists and...

Stacey Abrams on a Monday night episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" expressed her confidence in Democrats ahead of the Georgia runoff elections. During her appearance on the show, the former Democratic gubernatorial candidate discussed mobilizing voters as well as her belief that Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock will secure a victory against Republican David Perdue — whose Senate term ended Sunday — and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in Georgia's Senate runoff elections on Tuesday. “I think we’re ready to get it done,” Abrams said. “I put my money on blue.” Abrams told Colbert that she...

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made a desperate plea to President Donald Trump on Twitter this week.

In the rocky terrain of the Whitmore mountain range in Antarctica, there have been found fossilized skeletal remains of what seems to be extremely small humans. Interestingly enough, this discovery was made while yours truly was in Antarctica on assignment for The National Reporter to debunk a ridiculous tabloid story about a UFO base in the area.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the upcoming electoral vote certification "the most consequential vote" on a call with senators this week, according to Senator Mitt Romney, who was on the call. Congress will convene on January 6 to count each state's electoral votes and reaffirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

Lin Wood has seen and raised his fellow conspiracy-theorist Sidney Powell in a series of tweets that would make Q blush:My information from reliable source is that Roberts arranged an illegal adoption of two young children from Wales through Jeffrey Epstein. I think we can all agree that Epstein knows pedophilia.If only Jeffrey Epstein was still alive . . . Wouldn’t that be something? https://t.co/DwhgKO3gMp— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) December 31, 2020A couple of more questions for Chief Justice John Roberts:(1) You are recorded discussing Justice Scalia’s successor before date of his sudden death. How did you know Scalia was going...

Two more iconic restaurants have succumbed to the coronavirus pandemic. This time, the historic locations affected are on the West and East Coast. The owners of San Francisco’s well-known The Cliff House restaurant are closing its doors for good after running the establishment for nearly 48 years. The Cliff House location has a history that dates back 157 years. The Cliff House had temporarily switched to take-out orders during the pandemic, but it wasn’t enough to keep the iconic restaurant in business during the COVID-19 crisis. The restaurant, which is known for its ocean views of the Pacific Ocean, will...

I think that to most Americans right now, it should be becoming readily apparent (if it was not already) that the left is racist. From their policy prescriptions for America’s ills, such as their applause and cheerleading for more abortions, to their way of discussing race and the various racial groups in America, I think that the left has blatantly pursued racist rhetoric and ideas. Of course, they will never admit that. They claim that America is a racist country and that President Trump is an especially virulent racist. Both of those claims are untrue, as I have discussed in...

In an extraordinary interview with Maria Bartiromo of the Fox Business Network (FBN), a frustrated Donald Trump claimed that there was no way Joe Biden had secured 80 million votes to defeat him except for “massive fraud.” The president explained that he and his people had expected that he would win the election if he could secure 68 million votes (he won in 2016 with 63 million), and while he actually got at least 74 million — the highest of any president running for reelection — Biden’s 80 million appeared to secure Biden the victory. To this day, most of...

Senate Republicans are sending a clear message to President Trump: The election is over and Joe Biden won. While Trump is digging in and showing little sign of ending his public campaign despite a long losing streak in the courts, GOP senators - from leadership on down - are signaling they view the election result as settled and want to move on without a messy weeks-long fight. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) publicly congratulated Biden during a Senate floor speech, in his first public acknowledgement of the former vice president's victory. He subsequently urged Senate Republicans during a caucus...

Senior Republicans recognised Joe Biden as the president-elect of the United States on Tuesday as President Donald Trump continued to deny the outcome of the election. In a significant break with the president, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Mr Biden and vice-president-elect Kamala Harris on their victory, a day after the electoral college confirmed the election result. “As of this morning our country has officially a president-elect and a vice-president-elect,” Mr McConnell said on the Senate floor. “Many of us hoped that the presidential election would yield a different result, but our system of government has processes to determine...

Alex Jones and the Infowars crew descended on Washington D.C. with thousands of other furious patriots Saturday for the Stop The Steal march aimed at letting the globalists know America won’t put up with an electoral coup.

We are being manipulated ... by Donald J Trump!ONLY the president can use the BSA to reveal the source / person(s) who ordered a halt to counting in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Detroit, and Milwaukee on election night. Whomever ordered that stop counting command which resutled in the observers being expelled and the counting resumed without licit oversight is the key to this seditious defrauding of American voters.Withholding that key piece of information from the American people who have supported Donald Trump is manipulating US rather than including us in the truth as a basis for our opposition tot he defrauding....
