In the name of fighting COVID-19, Harris County (Texas’s largest county) health officials announced a plan that includes randomly knocking on doors to collect blood samples. “Teams of health workers wearing yellow vests will make their rounds from Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” reports the Houston Chronicle. Their plan, they say, is to better determine how many people have been infected with Coronavirus by conducting antibody tests.(Snip)Sure, the program is voluntary, but there’s something about health officials knocking on your door wanting a blood sample that’s wholly unAmerican, regardless of the circumstances.

In the past day there have been two very disturbing developments in internet deplatforming. We are all familiar with deplatforming from major social media services such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as those platforms outright silencing important news that harms Democrats, like the Biden family influence peddling scandal.(Snip)WordPress.com should not be confused with the WordPress website software. WordPress.com is a hosting platform owned by Automattic:(Snip)Non-leftists (notice, I didn’t say “conservatives”) need to prepare to decouple. The creation of Parler, funded by conservative Rebekka Mercer, is the future. We need our own platforms, and we need to decouple on our own terms.
After allegations emerged that called into questioned the integrity of voting machines produced by Dominion Voting Systems, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)—part of the Department of Homeland Security—issued a statement on Nov. 12 disputing the allegations, saying “the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history.” What the agency failed to disclose, however, is that Dominion Voting Systems is a member of CISA’s Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, one of two entities that authored the statement put out by CISA.In addition, Smartmatic, a separate voting machine company that has been the subject of additional concerns, is also a member. The joint statement on the integrity
A Republican National Committee monitor in the Georgia recount efforts came forward claiming he witnessed a counted wrongly calling out votes. According to the monitor, the counted called votes that should have gone to President Donald Trump and claimed they were for former Vice President Joe Biden. "So, second person was supposed to be checking it, right. So, three times in three minutes she called out Biden. The second auditor caught it and she said, 'No. This is Trump.' Now, that's just while I'm standing there," Hale Soucie, the monitor explained. "So, does the second checker catch it every time? But this lady, three times in three minutes,

When asked what he would do immediately to address the long-term unemployment facing the nation, former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that he would pass the Heroes Act, and he accused President Donald Trump of “still playing golf” and doing nothing to get a deal.At a press conference in Wilmington, Del., a reporter asked, “Your plan that you've outlined just now about a million union jobs, clean energy jobs, investment in HBCUs, those are things that take time. We have a problem with long-term unemployment that's growing fast right now.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota announced Sunday that she had severed financial ties with her husband’s consulting firm after her campaign had divvied out nearly $3 million to the company.Omar’s campaign was the largest known client of Tim Mynett’s firm, E Street Group, having paid the firm $2.78 million since July 2019, Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show. Mynett co-owns the firm with Will Hailer, a former staffer for Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. E Street Group’s second-largest client that reports to the FEC was the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, which has reported payments of $128,000 to the firm.
Former first lady Michelle Obama on Monday appeared to urge Trump administration officials and Republican lawmakers to accept corporate media’s declaration that former Vice President Joe Biden has won the 2020 presidential election.In an Instagram post, Obama blasted what she described as “groundless conspiracy theories” regarding the election and called for a “smooth transition of power” from President Donald Trump to Biden.“Our love of country requires us to respect the results of an election even when we don’t like them or wish it had gone differently—the presidency doesn’t belong to any one individual or any one party,” Obama wrote.
On Saturday, many thousands of President Trump’s supporters came to Washington, D.C. But Joe Biden, who fancies himself the president-elect who will “heal” this nation, was M.I.A. after antifa and BLM attacked peaceful “Million MAGA March” ralliers. (Tweets/Videos) And no Democrats condemned the violence, not even Joe Biden. “Today, one week after Biden called for unity and his supporters took to the streets to celebrate his media-projected win, Trump supporters were attacked in our nation’s capital by far-left protesters and Antifa,” noted Breitbart contributor Kyle Morris. “Not one Democrat member of Congress has denounced today’s violence.”
GUILFORD, CT — A class of middle schoolers, 8 teachers, a paraprofessional and kids that rode the bus all are in quarantine after one student tests positive for COVID-19. In a letter sent to families Friday, schools superintendent Dr. Paul Freeman said that the student and their family were told to isolate at home for 10 days. But the one case led to a whole class being sent home along with many educators and kids that rode the bus with the student. Freeman said that, "As a result of contact tracing, the Guilford Health Department determined that students who were in

Radical Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Monday called President Trump’s campaign rallies “Klan rallies.” Ilhan Omar’s lies and dehumanization of Trump supporters is precisely why there was violence against men and women who attended the million MAGA march for Trump in DC over the weekend.

Most major media are continuing to push back on claims by President Donald Trump’s campaign that voting machines in some key battleground states were manipulated in favor of Democratic rival Joe Biden.But on Saturday, the president tweeted a clip of an August 2019 NBC News report featuring technology correspondent Jacob Ward who explained how easy it is for hackers to penetrate and manipulate voting machines made by top companies such as Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart Intercivic.(Video) Ward’s complete report, which is posted at NBC News’ website, is titled, “How hackers can target voting machines,” and was filed shortly after the world’s biggest underground
President Trump on Monday encouraged a re-election challenge to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine after the fellow Republican said Trump should begin handing over the reins to President-elect Joe Biden.“Who will be running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio? Will be hotly contested!” Trump tweeted, shortly after writing, “I won the Election!”DeWine, a former senator who worked for 12 years alongside Biden in Congress, was elected to a four-year term as governor in 2018 and won’t face voters again until 2022.On Sunday, DeWine said in a CNN interview that Trump must begin the formal transition process
Former first lady Michelle Obama shamed President Donald Trump and his administration for refusing to start the transition to the Biden-Harris administration because some things are 'bigger than anybody’s ego.' 'Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive,' the former first lady wrote in an Instagram post Monday. 'But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside.' Obama said that compelled her to reach out to incoming first lady Melania Trump and walk her through what the position entailed.
Election Week 2020 brought us an abundance of memes, viral videos and internet jokes, but amid all those John King fan cams and riffs on Nevada’s glacial-pace vote counting, the nation turned its attention, once again, to the city of Philadelphia.
When it became apparent that Philly and its surrounding suburbs would help propel Joe Biden to the White House, the internet suddenly stopped ridiculing the City of Brotherly Love and instead began to appreciate the beauty buried somewhere within.
US military commanders are anticipating that a formal order will be given by President Donald Trump as soon as this week to begin a further withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and Iraq before Trump leaves office on January 20, according to two US officials familiar. The Pentagon has issued a notice to commanders known as a "warning order" to begin planning to drawdown the number of troops in Afghanistan to 2,500 troops and 2,500 in Iraq by Jan 15, the officials said. Currently there are approximately 4,500 US troops in Afghanistan and 3,000 troops in Iraq.

On the promotional trail for his new memoir “A Promised Land,” former President Barack Obama sat down with “60 Minutes” for an interview that aired Sunday. (Snip) Through private donations, the Obama Foundation has raised more than half of the estimated $500 million cost for the project, but that price tag doesn’t include infrastructure improvements that will be paid for by taxpayers. Due to a lengthy federal review process and pending litigation related to the Jackson Park location, the center has yet to break ground.
A deep dive into the results in one Michigan County shows a similar pattern as was identified by Dr. Shiva in his Michigan analysis. Dr. Shiva’s numbers can be replicated. Votes were transferred from President Trump to Joe Biden based on consistent rate of transfer.This is VERY IMPORTANT that this analysis can be replicated by data analysts! This is not a conspiracy. This really did happen in the 2020 election. Votes were stolen from President Trump and given to Joe Biden.We’ve previously reported on a number of instances where fraud presumably occurred in the 2020 election. We reported on shifts in votes and lost votes across the country
Former President Barack Obama said in an interview with National Public Radio (NPR) that people who voted for President Donald Trump may not have had “facts” because of their news sources and that he believes Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will “restore a bunch of norms.” In the interview, host Michel Martin asked Obama about the election but did not mention that it has not been officially certified. “Let’s talk about the campaign,” Martin said. “How do you understand the election results? I mean, by that I mean, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win the White House, but Republicans make gains in the House.”
Georgia Senate hopeful Reverend Raphael Warnock is facing scrutiny over a 2016 sermon in which he called on the US to “repent for its worship of whiteness” over the success of President Trump’s candidacy. Video of the sermon, delivered in October 2016 at Emory University, reemerged over the weekend, as the battle between Warnock and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in their special Senate race heats up. In the sermon, entitled “How Towers Tumble,” Warnock discussed Genesis 11:4, in which humans want to construct a tower reaching heaven over fear of being scattered across Earth. “Somebody lied and told them that uniformity,
President Donald Trump's national security adviser promised a 'very professional transition' to the administration of President-elect Joe Biden in an interview broadcast Monday, even as Trump continues to falsely claim he won the November election. Speaking to the Global Security Forum hosted in part by Qatar, Robert O'Brien several times mentioned the transition and referred to recent peace deals that Bahrain, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates struck with Israel as 'a great legacy for the president to have as he leaves office.' While caveating that Trump did have outstanding court challenges, O'Brien's comments signaled some of the firmest statements yet
Susan Rice has produced a “Trump is harming national security/democracy by stalling the transition” article for the New York Times. This is now the party line, and Rice has been dutifully spouting Democratic talking points for years — most notoriously with her lies about Benghazi.
A few things make Rice’s latest set piece stand out in relation to others of the same genre. One is the use of “I.” My friend who alerted me to Rice’s article wasn’t exaggerating when he said, “Not since [former Washington Post columnist] Richard Cohen retired has there been an author who so abused the pronoun ‘I.’”
Q: I was on a business trip to San Antonio a year ago (my first time in Texas) and was treated to tamales (my first) at a restaurant there. They were so delightful that all this time later I think about them still. As Tex-Mex restaurants are scarce where I live, I have decided to make my own. I’ve located recipes online and have even found masa. Corn husks are another matter. Is there such a thing as commercial corn husk suppliers? Where do restaurants in Texas get their husks for tamales? I’m as curious to know as I am ravenous for tamales.

Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss significant evidence of vote and ballot fraud. Ms. Powell highlights several areas of ongoing investigation from software designed to manipulate ballot results to payments from vote counting companies to local/state officials.
Ms. Powell also notes the CIA has a relationship with Dominion and Smartmatic software providers who have used their election counting products in foreign countries. The subjects within the conversation are very alarming and includes statements about identified algorithms used to manipulate the counting. Ms. Powell states the evidence is so overwhelming there is likely going to be another election. MUST WATCH: (Video)
CNN analyst Mary Katherine Ham caused a great disturbance in the CNN energy on Saturday's Newsroom by decrying liberal double standards on COVID and conceding elections.
Anchor Ana Cabrera began by expressing disgust at the MAGA protests: "Ryan, the president's supporters, they have poured into the streets of Washington this weekend to try to give life to these unfounded and baseless claims of a rigged election. We literally had far right groups like the Proud Boys marching down Pennsylvania Avenue.This election is over. How did this become normal?"
Politico's Ryan Lizza replied it's "because the president has decided to delegitimize the crystal clear results of the election."
President Donald Trump’s campaign has dramatically scaled back its federal lawsuit challenging the election results in Pennsylvania, dropping legal claims stemming from observers who assert they were blocked from viewing vote-counting in counties dominated by Democrats.
The retrenched version of the suit filed late Sunday morning with a federal court in Williamsport, Pa., withdrew the request for relief over the poll-watching allegations and now focuses solely on varying practices by county officials for handling mail-in ballots that lacked an internal secrecy envelope or otherwise ran afoul of the state’s election rules.

President Trump’s policies limiting immigration, decried by liberals and the Biden-Harris ticket, won broad bipartisan and Hispanic support in the election and even turned several border towns red for the first time in years. According to two reviews, majorities of Hispanics and Democrats supported the administration’s curbs on immigration to stop the coronavirus, protect jobs, and maintain the current population mix. And in several heavily immigrant border counties, voters rejected the demonization of Trump’s policies and agents of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
President-elect Joe Biden’s transition leader for U.S.-owned media outlets, Richard Stengel, supports restricting free speech and creating new guidelines that would make “hate speech” a crime.In a Washington Post op-ed published last year, Stengel, who served as President Barack Obama’s Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, suggested the government should make “statutes to penalize speech” that is offensive.“Hate speech has a less violent, but nearly as damaging, impact in another way: it diminishes tolerance,” Stengel wrote. “Why shouldn’t the states experiment with their own version of hate speech statutes to penalize speech that deliberately insults people based on
Conservative radio and television host Mark Levin slammed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for “undermining” the U.S. Constitution by claiming an election victory. The Fox News host called out the former vice president for sounding “like a dictator” as he defended President Donald Trump and the integrity of America’s voting system. In a scathing monologue on “Life, Liberty and Levin” Sunday, he also took a shot at former President Obama for making “pronouncements” about the election results while blasting the media for not covering the truth.

Russian writer, historian, and political prisoner Alexander Solzhenitsyn was one of the most consequential men of the 20th century. He not only singlehandedly destroyed communism as an idea, but also had many things to say about the West which were greeted then about the way they'd be greeted by the Squad and progressives today. Yet they are worth revisiting in this turbulent era today.
Like many of us, Solzhenitsyn had been de facto silenced by the Western media and denounced as a nut for recounting the true history of the Bolshevik Revolution and its bloody aftermath ase well as making warnings to the West.

No matter who ultimately wins the presidential election, the Jews in America are the big losers. As Professor Ruth Wisse of Harvard has long explained, Jews are the bellwether for the health of democracies. Hatred of Jews rises in societies whose democratic institutions and values are in crisis. Jew-hatred is generally low in healthy, working democracies.
If we learned nothing else from the election campaign and its aftermath, we learned American democracy is in crisis.
The media is the first force responsible for this crisis. For the past four years, all major U.S. television networks and national newspapers have dedicated themselves not to reporting news,
Near the city of Timmins, Ontario, residents recently discovered the remains of a pair of moose, shot and killed by suspected poachers. That’s unpleasant enough on its own, but another detail has further complicated matters: one of the two moose had white fur, the result of a recessive gene. Consequently, white moose are very rare — and they’re considered sacred to the Indigenous communities nearby.
As Leyland Cecco reports for The Guardian, the killing of this particular moose has led to widespread outrage across Canada. Wildlife officials are seeking the people responsible for killing the moose,
A few months before Russian oligarch Elena Baturina wired $3.5 million in February 2014 to a Hunter Biden-linked firm, his business associates scrambled to secure U.S. bank approval because she was on a federal government "watch list" for financial transactions, according to never-before-revealed emails and documents.

A few days ago, Sidney Powell said that the Trump team would release the Kraken (a mythical giant squid that shatters sailing ships) against the election results that claim Biden won. On Sunday, Powell spelled out what this Trump Kraken looks like – and she vouches for its existence. Based on the details she imparted, the Biden dinghy (for it’s certainly not a ship of state) isn’t just going to take on water; it’s going to a long-deserved rendezvous with Davy Jones’s locker.

South Australia state is battling a growing number of Covid-19 infections, with 17 cases now linked to a family cluster in the capital, Adelaide. “It is a very, very dangerous situation we’re in,” state Premier Steven Marshall said Monday, urging residents to get tested if they had symptoms. He said his government would consider tougher social-distancing restrictions if necessary, adding “we will do whatever it takes to get on top of this cluster.” (Snip) The outbreak in South Australia comes just after the nation’s eight states and territories dismantled internal border restrictions that have controlled the spread of the pandemic

Joe Biden’s big selling point to both the Democratic Party and the American people was that, in a crowd of candidates standing far left of center, he was the moderate choice. Now, as he staffs a possible White House with far-left media re-treads and George Soros’ socialist acolytes, we’re seeing that his supposed moderation was just another of his endless lies.
No one should be surprised. President Barack Obama played the moderate in his first campaign, then became the most far-left president in our history. He, too, opened the White House doors to Soros-linked socialist apparatchiks. Their inept policies led
President Donald Trump left the glamorous world of celebrity, fame, and fortune in June 2015 on a mission, not for himself, but for the American people. Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.He knew the path ahead would be lonely. Before his famous escalator ride at Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his candidacy, he prophetically warned his son Don Jr.
It appears that the bureaucracy is more afraid of the Democrats than the people, as a report emerges claiming the Justice Department is dropping the investigation into Spygate, nearly two years after it began.

A source familiar with Durham’s ongoing investigation of the bogus Russian collusion operation tells @FDRLST: “Durham isn’t doing anything. Dropping his investigations. He’s worried about blowback from Biden. What an absolute disgrace.”
Should that desiccated old weirdo eventually be inaugurated, he would stagger into office a shambling mess and his corrupt inauguration would set the stage for massive populist-conservative comeback in 2022 and 2024. We should ruthlessly exploit his weakness, corruption, and stupidity in our quest to ruin his followers’ hateful dreams.

This month has brought some good news in the battle against COVID-19, as well as some bad news.
On the positive front, Pfizer announced that its COVID-19 vaccine had proven 90% effective, which is significantly better than expected. Additionally, the pharmaceutical giant expects to be able to distribute tens of millions of doses to those in most urgent need starting before the end of the year. If all goes well, the vaccine will be more widely distributed early next year, and the United States will be able to move on from this mess by the spring.
The bad news is that the fears of many public health officials are becoming true,

Last January, a small but telling exchange took place at an Elizabeth Warren campaign event in Grimes, Iowa. At the time, Warren was attracting support from the Democratic Party’s left flank, with her bulging portfolio of progressive proposals. “Warren Has a Plan for That” read her campaign T-shirts. The biggest buzz surrounded her $1.25 trillion plan to pay off student-loan debt for most Americans.
A man approached Warren with a question. “My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money [so that] she doesn’t have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”
“Of course not,” Warren replied.
Joe Biden shouldn’t want to begin his administration with a renewed migrant crisis at the border, but that’s what his priorities risk creating.
After many false starts — including the zero-tolerance policy that drove family separations — the Trump administration got a handle on the border thanks to its “remain in Mexico” policy and “safe third country” agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

If the first victim of war is truth, then the first victim of COVID-19 was a sense of proportion. The pandemic continues to dominate the news every waking hour, as well as continuing to restrict our lives in ways not seen since wartime — in some ways even more severely. Yet how many people even noticed this week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the estimated number of deaths globally from measles climbed to 207,500 in 2019, a 50 percent increase on 2016? The news was hardly reported. Unless you happened to be visiting the CDC’s, or the WHO’s website
Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn has been entrapped, prosecuted, and persecuted. He pled guilty to lying to the FBI in an interview that was set up to corner him into a lie. Now, with President Trump having lost the election to former vice president Joe Biden, the stage is set. But for what?
Sidney Powell, Flynn’s lawyer, met with President Trump in September and asked him to not pardon Flynn. Flynn evidently doesn’t want a pardon because it carries the stigma of guilt, which Flynn vehemently denies despite his guilty pleas which were reportedly extracted under threat of prosecution of his son.
In the aftermath of the election, many questions have emerged not just about individual instances of voter fraud or vote suppression, which are legion, but more systematic issues involving software and electronic vote tracking. We know, for example, that thousands of votes that were cast for President Trump in Michigan were improperly shifted to Joe Biden due to an alleged software “glitch.”
I have no opinion on whether the election was stolen by the Biden campaign or not. I don’t think there is any way to know, on the current evidence, whether, if only legal votes were counted, and each voter voted only once,
You just had to see the enthusiastic cheer of tens of thousands of pro-Trump protesters who flocked to Washington, DC, over the weekend to understand it doesn’t really matter what the final electoral vote tally is: Trumpism has won.
For four years, Donald Trump was written off, attacked, spied upon, lied about and impeached, and yet, after all that, just by standing firm for traditional American values, he increased his vote by 10 million.
More than 73 million free-thinking Americans refused to be intimidated, tricked or shamed out of voting for Trump. T
As with so many stories in politics these days, this one started with a tweet. In this case, it was from former governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. Given all of the election fraud stories we’ve been covering for this entire cycle, her comments seemed innocuous enough. (Snip for tweet)Surprise, surprise. Twitter almost immediately slapped a “disputed” warning label on the tweet. But rather than meekly accepting this next round of censorship, Haley pushed back. She asked why she was singled out for this sort of attention when Ayatollah Khamenei is allowed to tweet out Holocaust denial material.
Interviewer Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes supplied the ignorance. He appears to have no more knowledge of what transpired during the past four years than does, say, a Whoopi Goldberg or a Kathy Griffin.
Barack Obama supplied the scare. His solution to make the right half of America as ignorant as the left would do Trotsky proud.
Pelley’s ignorance flared throughout the embarrassingly sycophantic interview, but it reached something of a crescendo with his and Obama’s elaborate discussion on the etiquette of presidential transitions.
Kenneth Starr, former Whitewater independent counsel, and Laurence Tribe, constitutional law professor at Harvard, sparred on Sunday over President Trump's legal challenges in several battleground states, with Starr wanting to allow the "litigation to run its course" and Tribe arguing that "it's time to move on."

Raphael Warnock, the Democratic candidate running in one of two high-profile U.S. Senate runoffs in Georgia, tried on Sunday to refocus the race as not about regaining control of the Senate, but as “about the people of Georgia.”
Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, Warnock, 51, sought to reframe to race as a referendum on the progressive agenda, with things like providing access to affordable healthcare.
