Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Thursday blasted President Donald Trump's leadership -- or lack thereof -- during the deadly coronavirus pandemic as "a great human tragedy."
"Well, this hasn't been the focus of his rhetoric, apparently, and I think it's a great human tragedy, without question," Romney told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on "The Situation Room" when asked where Trump's leadership is as the President focuses on other issues amid the worsening pandemic.
"The extraordinary loss of life is heartbreaking -- and in some respects unnecessary. Not all respects, but we've relaxed our standards as individuals," added Romney,

A witness brought forward by the Trump campaign in its election contest in Nevada alleged that the memory disks used to store vote totals from election machines during the early vote period had the vote tallies inexplicably changed overnight, according to a presentation at an evidentiary hearing in Carson City on Dec. 3.
According to Jesse Binnall, who presented the evidence on behalf of the Trump campaign, the witness, whose name is shielded by a protective order, said that the vote tallies were collected from the machine at the end of every voting day and stored on Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives overnight.
Nature is determined to destroy humanity through flood, famine, fire, and pestilence, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres declared Wednesday, prophesizing the time has come for us to repent and mend our ways through a great climate and economic reset.
In an address at Columbia University in New York City, Guterres said the global climate has long been “reacting” to man-made changes, but emphasized there’s still time to prevent a total biodiversity collapse if we fall in behind the U.N. and its multiple agencies.
White House communications director Alyssa Farah resigned on Thursday, making her the highest-profile member of President Donald Trump’s administration to step down following the 2020 election.The Washington Post broke the news of her departure, which White House officials then confirmed to the Daily Caller Thursday evening.Farah had occupied various communications roles during her more than three-year tenure in the administration.

WASHINGTON—White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany’s husband broke his silence on Thursday following a string of negative news stories which claimed he shouted from the back of the briefing room and got into a “bickering match” with a photographer for not wearing a mask.Sean Gilmartin — a relief pitcher who started his career with the New York Mets in 2015 and played for the Tampa Bay Rays last season — made his first appearance in the James S. Brady Briefing Room on Wednesday to support McEnany, but quickly became embroiled in the latest West Wing controversy when a White House pool report claimed he shouted, “You crushed it, Kayleigh!”
How Team Trump Wins

The evidence is overwhelming.On the night of the election President Trump was winning in all the key battleground states. Then the local Democrat authorities all decided to halt their counts. Once they were restarted, hundreds of thousands of ballots for Biden were miraculously “found.”Since then, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Joe DiGenova, Victoria Toensing, and the rest of the president’s small but intrepid legal team have found evidence of multiple instances of fraud in all the key voting districts.Now brave Americans have dared to challenge decades of Democrat voter fraud by giving their names to sworn affidavits and publically testifying to the crimes they have witnessed

President Trump has Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s full support in terminating Section 230.
“@realDonaldTrump I fully support you on this. Please don’t back down. The freedom and future of our country is at stake,” Gabbard tweeted Thursday. The tweet came in response to Trump's writing, “Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to ‘Big Tech’ (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand.”

President Donald Trump’s legal team on Thursday presented surveillance footage to a Georgia State Legislature hearing that appears to show election ballot-counting workers kicking out poll observers late at night on Election Day before pulling out what appear to be suitcases allegedly filled with ballots.
A woman who identified herself as Jackie Pick, a lawyer who is assisting with their legal case, said the team received video footage from State Farm Arena’s vote-tabulation center in Fulton County, Georgia. The team said that GOP poll watchers were not allowed to watch the counting process in the poll center.

President-elect Joe Biden plans to call on Americans to wear masks for his first 100 days in office, he announced Thursday.
Biden has long urged Americans to wear masks to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper Thursday, he put a specific time period on what his request will be.
"Just 100 days to mask, not forever. 100 days. And I think we'll see a significant reduction" in COVID-19 infections, Biden said, according to a preview of the interview that will air Thursday evening. While Biden wants everyone to wear masks, he will not have the constitutional authority to directly order
The Georgia election was stolen for Joe Biden. That is the only viable conclusion one can come to after seeing what was presented for the first time during the Georgia legislature hearings Thursday morning. In it, we see voter fraud happening before our eyes.
Attorney Jackie Pick presented video evidence that Georgia election officials in that State Farm Arena tabulation center instructed press and ballot observers to leave around 10:20 pm on election night because counting was going to stop until the morning. We can see the observers leave while four people stayed behind doing nothing.
A New Mexico city council voted to disregard Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s coronavirus lockdown measures and reopen businesses and schools.
The Roswell City Council held an emergency session on Monday evening over the governor’s lockdown regulations, many of which have remained in place since the outbreak of the coronavirus in the United States in March. The council had voted in July not to enforce the governor’s orders, leaving all enforcement actions up to the state police.
During the meeting, Councilman Jacob Roebuck introduced a motion for the city manager to restart schools and return the city government to normal
The Justice Department said Thursday that Facebook “intentionally” discriminated against U.S. workers and hired foreign guest workers instead—and actively tried to deter Americans from even applying. For most of its jobs the tech giant abides by the law, but in cases when a foreign worker is already employed on a temporary visa and seeks a permanent job, Facebook locks out any other candidates, the government said in a new complaint filed in immigration court. “Facebook then implements a recruitment process intentionally designed to deter U.S. workers from applying,” Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband said in the complaint. “Facebook does not advertise the positions
Warner Bros. announced Thursday that it will make its full 2021 film slate available to stream for a one-month period each, exclusively on HBO Max. Each of the films will be simultaneously released in theaters and available for the limited window on the streaming service.
The new hybrid model represents a novel deviation from the typical program studios follow, where films are released in theaters first, and then hit other platforms months later.
Movie theater stock prices fell on the news. AMC shares dropped more than 15 percent, while Cinemark was down 14.5 percent.
The move comes as theaters continue to be closed in many markets because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Convinced that President Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection, the media suddenly became less hysterical. Just like that, the media, at least to some degree, rediscovered concepts such as fairness and perspective, AWOL the last four years. Two weeks after the election, New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristof haltingly, grudgingly and reluctantly, admitted that yes, Trump was right. Banning in-person school education to fight COVID-19 was and is bad policy. Kristof wrote: "Some things are true even though President Trump says them. Trump has been demanding for months that schools reopen, and on that he seems to have been largely right.
It was the summer of 1973 and Pam Kelley was a free-spirited 18-year-old living in Massachusetts who loved animals (especially stray cats) and swimming and her boyfriend, David Kennedy, the fourth of Robert and Ethel's 11 children. On Aug. 13, the young couple went on a beach trip near Nantucket accompanied by Kim Kelley, Pam's sister, as well as three friends and David's older brother Joseph Kennedy II. On the way home their jeep, driven by 20-year-old Joe, swerved at an intersection and flipped over, throwing out all of the passengers — and shattering Pam's life. In the hospital, she learned
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is dealing with some online backlash over the $58 price tag on a "Tax the Rich" sweatshirt in her campaign shop. Ocasio-Cortez announced preorders for the black sweatshirt emblazoned with "TAX THE RICH" in all caps on Wednesday night, adding that the items are "made in the US with dignified, union jobs paying living wages."
"Only the rich can afford this idiotic sweatshirt," conservative commentator Ben Shapiro wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against a pandemic-related order by California Gov. Gavin Newsom banning some indoor religious services, agreeing with critics that it is unconstitutional.
In a one-page order, the high court granted a petition from lawyers for Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Calif., seeking to set aside a lower court ruling upholding Newsom's ban. The unsigned order instructed members of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to reconsider their opinion on the case in light of last week's Supreme Court ruling in a similar case, when it backed religious groups in challenging the state of New York's COVID-19 restrictions.
Donald Trump won’t get immediate relief from the Wisconsin state supreme court, but technically his lawsuit over the election isn’t dead either. The court voted in a narrow 4-3 decision that the Trump v Evers lawsuit brought by the campaign should originate in a state district court rather than come directly to the top court first. Notably, none of the concurrences or dissents discuss any factual issues presented in the complaint: The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, saying the case must first wind its way through lower courts
The court must take the case

Amid ample evidence that Democrats cheated in a dozen different ways to steal the presidential election, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide the election. I have no doubt Chief Justice John McCain Roberts would love to deny President Donald John Trump his day in court because Roberts is a passive-aggressive evil little man who repeatedly stabs in the back those who entrusted him with the highest judicial office in the land.
Not hearing the case is a nifty way to certify a stolen election without accepting responsibility for their decision.(Snip) Hundreds of whistleblowers put their lives on the line signing affidavits giving testimony to election theft.
Attorney Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging an “egregious range of conduct” in Wisconsin at the direction of Wisconsin state election officials.
Powell is asking the court to block Gov. Tony Evers from transferring currently certified election results in Wisconsin to the Electoral College, and have Evers and the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) reverse the certification, “pending a full investigation and court hearing.” Powell is also asking the court to order an independent audit of the election “to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election.” (Snip) The suit alleges “massive election fraud” that violates the Wisconsin Election Code and the U.S. Constitution.

The prospect of a potential Biden presidency and a radical left Democratic administration running the country fills me with dread. But I believe it is instructive to compare my dread to what I felt 12 years ago when I contemplated the imminent Obama administration. According to his own words, Obama planned to bring about radical changes to American society. Here’s a partial list of his intentions: Nationalization of health care. Massive tax increases, sharply indexed. Cap & Trade and other crippling societal maneuvers aimed to avert or ameliorate imminent and severe – but unsubstantiated – climate change calamities.

Black Lives Matter is facing a rebellion within its own ranks as regional affiliates seek greater control over the movement and demand answers about where millions of dollars in donations have gone. After years of tensions between the national organization and local outlets, the rift went public this week with the release of a statement by 10 BLM chapters accusing the top brass at the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation of failing to open their books or share the wealth with the rank and file. “For years, there has been inquiry regarding the financial operations of BLMGN and no acceptable process of either public

America’s three most recent former presidents have reportedly all said they would publicly take a COVID-19 vaccine once one is approved to help promote the drug’s safety.

Shively Mayor Beverly Chester-Burton was arrested Tuesday night and charged with driving under the influence after falling asleep in a drive-thru line, according to police. Louisville Metro Police officers were dispatched to Manslick Road on reports of a vehicle crashed into a pole at about 11 p.m., according to Chester-Burton's arrest citation. When officers arrived, they found a silver Cadillac smashed against a large utility pole, with Chester-Burton standing next to it, the citation said.

Where's your medical degree?
That's the common response to those critical of media reports on the coronavirus. Who are you to question the experts?
So I talked to a physician in our community with decades of experience. His skepticism echoes mine.
"I would never say there's not a pandemic," the doctor told me. But, he said, "it's all political," noting that people are ignoring science and "I see doctors on TV who are lying."
Nine months ago, when this all began, he and I had a conversation where we agreed that it was difficult going into a health crisis without news media we could trust.
LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is again asking Angelenos to cancel all non-essential activities and "hunker down" as the city experiences a dangerous surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. The city revised its "Targeted Safer at Home Order" late Wednesday. While the new restrictions and allowable activities mirror those issued by Los Angeles County last week, the language and messaging is far stronger than before. ''Subject only to the exceptions outlined in this Order, all persons living within the City of Los Angeles are hereby ordered to remain in their homes," the mayor's order states. That is not
Immersed as we are in President Trump’s efforts to wrest victory from a sinister collection of fraudsters, we’re understandably sparing little time to consider what happens if addled Joe Biden’s handlers get away with stealing the elections. These Democrat hacks, malignant leftists, BLM grifters, Antifa spoiled brats, D.C. lifers, traitorous RINOs, Big Tech plutocrats, and MSM propagandists, all suffering a variety of conceits, are convinced they’re pulling off the biggest heist in their wretched existences. Maybe a new Leni Riefenstahl will be found in Biden’s press pool to immortalize the feat?

Since the Trump revolution, there has been much ado about “zombie Reaganism.” The “dead consensus” of free enterprise and limited government, the thinking goes, lost its appeal for a newer (older?) kind of conservative.

Despite Trump’s defeat, they assure us that the GOP has changed tack: Laissez-faire and procedural liberalism are out; industrial policy and the common good are in
On Tuesday evening, an interview was released showing former President Barack Obama condemning the slogan, "Defund the Police" as he argued that it turns away voters from the Democratic party.
“If you believe, as I do, that we should be able to reform the criminal justice system so that it’s not biased and treats everybody fairly, I guess you can use a snappy slogan like ‘defund the police,’ but you lost a big audience the minute you say it, which makes it a lot less likely that you’re actually going to get the changes you want done,” Obama said to show host Peter Hamby.
