EASTLAND - The New York Times reported on the miraculous tale. Some 3,000 onlookers witnessed it firsthand. And today, nearly a century later, true believers scoff at the doubters. They swear by the story of Old Rip, the horned toad who refused to die.In the second decade of the 20th century, this little town 55 miles east of Abilene was in the midst of a boisterous oil boom, with fortunes being made and population soaring to about 25,000.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump will hold up to two holiday events a day between now and Christmas with nary a mention of masks on the invites. The celebrations come as coronavirus cases have spiked throughout the country, as Washington D.C. has cracked down on the size of gatherings, and medical experts have asked people to scale back their holiday plans to avoid any super spreader events. But the Trumps are going all out for their last holiday season in the White House, planning a full spray of holiday parties celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah and other religious holidays.

Rahm Emanuel, the former Chicago mayor, Illinois congressman and Obama White House chief of staff, is being strongly considered to run Joe Biden’s Department of Transportation, according to reports. Emanuel’s infrastructure chops include the development of a $2.3 billion railway extension project in Chicago and the renewal of the city’s two aging airports during his eight years as mayor. But his office’s decision to suppress dashcam footage of the murder of a black teen at the hands of police in 2014 has made him a divisive figure even in his own party,
President Donald Trump lashed out at Arizona Gov Doug Ducey Monday night for 'rushing to put a Democrat in office' as a video appeared to show him ignore a call from the White House during a press conference where he certified the state's vote for Joe Biden. Just a few seconds into the press conference, Ducey is seen pulling a cellphone from his coat pocket. He then appears to ignore the call that was reportedly from the White House. 'HE'LL GET BACK TO YOU Back in July, Gov. Ducey said he changed his White House ringtone to "Hail to The Chief" so he wouldn't miss a call from Trump/Pence.

"It affects the bedrock of our democratic republic," Powell started as she detailed fraud in the 2020 election.

(Video) Powell has been very aggressive in recent weeks as she presents her case of voter fraud to the American people. Last Wednesday, Powell filed a 104 page bombshell complaint in the state of Georgia

Editor’s note: After this article was published, Leah Hoopes would correct herself to say the agents who came to her door where not from the federal government.
Amid all the inquiries into where Attorney General Bill Barr has been in the face of voter fraud allegations, there has been a sighting of federal agents — the question is, what were they investigating? Leah Hoopes, a Republican poll watcher on Election Day in the state of Pennsylvania, dropped what’s being reported as a “bombshell,” which is that special agents from the Justice Department paid her a visit at home after she testified before the Senate last week. Hoopes testified that massive voter fraud may have taken place in Delaware County, Pa., and she appeared on Steve Bannon’s podcast “War Room: Pandemic” on Monday Article intro corrected at Source.

WASHINGTON — Neera Tanden, President-elect Joe Biden’s new appointee as director of the Office of Management and Budget, spread baseless conspiracy theories after the 2016 election insisting that Hillary Clinton lost to President Trump because Russian hackers flipped votes.The 50-year-old president of liberal think tank Center for American Progress and long-time Clinton loyalist served as an unpaid adviser during her 2016 White House bid and repeatedly claimed in the weeks after Trump’s victory that Clinton only lost because of Kremlin operatives.In a series of tweets, some still online Monday, Tanden claimed the “Russians did enough damage

Joe Biden is the worst presidential candidate the Democrats ever nominated. Biden couldn’t get anyone to attend his boring and awkward drive-in rallies so his campaign used Covid as a cover. 78-year-old Joe Biden can’t even form a coherent sentence. Hardly anyone listens to his speeches and in reality, hardly anyone actually voted for him.
The Democrats knew that Joe Biden had no charisma and virtually no support so they relied on their massive vote fraud organization (Joe Biden’s own words) in order to drag the demented fool across the finish line.

the 2020 election ‘deeply puzzling’ gains steam 8 replies
Patrick Basham, director of The Democracy Institute, penned an article run in The Spectator that detailed an exhaustive list of reasons why he finds the 2020 election “deeply puzzling.”Published Friday, the piece created a stir online as Basham declared, “If only cranks find the tabulations strange, put me down as a crank.”The “tabulations” he speaks of includes remarkable, even historic statistics showing that President Donald Trump was on his way to being reelected, but for three cities in three battleground states — these being “exactly the locations necessary to secure victory” for Joe Biden.
Conservative Talk radio host Mark Levin was so impressed by the article,
An eight-mile wall of prehistoric rock art featuring animals and humans has been discovered in the Amazonian rainforest after it was created up to 12,500 years ago. The historical artwork, which is now being called the 'Sistine Chapel of the ancients', was uncovered on cliff faces last year in the Chiribiquete National Park, Columbia, by a British-Columbian team of archaeologists funded by the European Research Council. The date of the paintings has been based on the portrayal of extinct animals from the ice age such as the mastodon - a prehistoric relative of the elephant which hasn't been seen in South America for at least 12,000 years.

WASHINGTON — Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday the Justice Department has not uncovered evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. His comments in an interview with The Associated Press come despite President Donald Trump’s repeated baseless claims that the election was stolen, Trump’s effort to subvert the results of the 2020 presidential election and his refusal to concede his loss to President-Elect Joe Biden. Barr said U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election.

A group of minority leaders gathered Sunday to urge members of Congress and Gov. J.B. Pritzker to prioritize the distribution of any coronavirus vaccine to Black and Brown communities hit hard by the pandemic. (Snip) A recent study commissioned by the COVID Collaborative, a coalition of health care experts and former government officials, found that just 48% of Black respondents said they would probably or definitely take a free vaccine, compared to 66% of Latino respondents. Meanwhile, large academic hospitals in Chicago have had a tough time recruiting minority volunteers to test vaccines, namely members of the Black community.
Sean Hannity urged President Donald Trump to issue blanket pardons for both himself and all of his family members before he leaves office in January, to protect them over any possible crimes that they committed during his four years in the Oval Office. On the Monday edition of his radio show, Hannity complained to pro-Trump lawyer and election fraud conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell that the incoming Biden administration was being publicly encouraged to investigate and prosecute Trump for any criminal misconduct while he was president.
Six months ago, notably, Hannity offered his own vocal endorsement of Trump investigating his White House predecessor during an interview with Mediaite.

Attorney Sidney Powell said on the Sean Hannity show on Fox News Monday night that a witness to election irregularities was beaten up and is in the hospital. Powell spoke about the attack while speaking about witnesses needing protection as a reason some are not going public and signing affidavits. Powell said some are in the government, others are in roles that require confidentiality, and that they need protection by the government.
"There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy — hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny." —Frederick William Robertson
Add cowardice to Robertson's words. By now it is abundantly clear to any American paying attention that the Biden campaign/Democrat machine set out to guarantee that Donald Trump would not, could not, win the 2020 election. (snip) What is so shockingly infuriating to the millions of people who voted for President Trump is the abject cowardice of most Republicans in Congress and in those state legislatures. It is as though they've been gelded.

It might be called a metaphor -- Joe Biden getting off to his purported presidency -- on the wrong, or broken, foot.
Which might explain why Biden didn't want to let the news get out.
Biden blocked reporters from taking pictures of him and his broken foot, something he claims to have sprained with hairline fractures while playing with his dog named 'Major.'
According to RedState, which has an excellent curation of various reporter tweets, Biden attempted to hide from press scrutiny of his condition, this time by refusing to allow reporters to get off the bus. Here's a screenshot sample
The far-left magazine Teen Vogue ran a column this week suggesting white people need to go after their racist relatives at the holiday dinner table. [Snip] “Often, during the holidays, the dinner table feels so safe that many family members are comfortable uttering their most racist, transphobic, queer antagonistic, misogynistic, and generally ugly ideas over their turkey and cranberry sauce,” Jackson writes.
New stay-at-home orders could be coming to areas of California where COVID-19 is spreading out of control and threatening capacity in hospitals’ intensive care units, Gov. Gavin Newsom warned Monday. Over the weekend, California reported the highest number of coronavirus hospitalizations since the onset of the pandemic. New case numbers continue to top those seen during the state's summer surge, with a seven-day average of 14,657 daily cases. According to Newsom, the state’s previous case numbers peaked in July with a seven-day average of 9,881. "If these trends continue, we're going to have to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic
MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell dinged the Biden team Monday for their lack of transparency about the president-elect's foot injury over the holiday weekend. (Snip) On Monday, Mitchell pointed out that it "wasn't until Sunday" that the White House press pool found out Biden was "going somewhere," which ended up being a visit to the doctor. She suggested it should not have taken so long for the public to find out. "They weren’t as forthcoming as you would hope they would be with the press pool that’s supposed to cover him," the NBC News correspondent said. PBS NewsHour White House correspondent
