All it takes is one from the House and one from the Senate to shut down the Electoral College count, to open debate on the question of fraud and irregularities in the election in the contested states.When Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said that he would join Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) and about ten other House members, they had enough to open the discussion and call for a vote on the question.As we reported, Democrats flipped out and attacked Hawley. Since then, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-MA) even said Hawley’s actions “bordered on sedition and treason.” But they of course were being hypocritical,
On Tuesday morning, Fox News viewers got to see that, for the first time, President Donald Trump has come in first place in Gallup's annual poll of "most admired man" of the year.But in contrast with how journalists swooned over former President Barack Obama the last time he came in first place, the other networks have so far ignored the finding.On Tuesday's Fox & Friends, news reader Jillian Mele informed viewers that Trump had pulled ahead of Obama for the first time, and that, in spite of winning the presidential election, President-elect Joe Biden still comes in behind Obama.
Cortney wrote about the lawsuit Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) filed this week against Vice President Mike Pence over the 2020 election. It basically would have granted the vice president the power to pick the electors by overturning the 1877 Electoral Count Act. There was a lot of funny business during the 2020 election. The legal front on this battle is over, however. It’s now up to what happens on the Hill on January 6. As we speak, Mike Pence has moved to dismiss Gohmert’s lawsuit, saying he’s not the proper defendant in the proceedings (via the Hill):
It’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve like you’ve never seen it before. The Crossroads of the World turned into an eerie ghost town on Thursday, as officials closed off the area to revelers because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As the final hours of 2020 ticked away, the NYPD blocked off public access to the site known around the world for its New Year’s Eve celebrations packed with partygoers. A live video feed of the area from Reuters showed just a handful of people milling around
Vice President Mike Pence asked a federal judge on Thursday to reject an effort to give him “exclusive authority” to decide which Electoral College votes should be counted during the upcoming joint session of Congress.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans last week filed a lawsuit against Pence, requesting that the court grant Pence power to decide which votes to count on Jan. 6, 2021, when lawmakers will gather to observe the formal certification of states’ electoral votes for the president of the United States.
Pence argued that he was not the correct defendant to the lawsuit, reported The Hill.
The federal judge who on Monday blocked two Georgia counties from removing voters from voter rolls eased her order just before midnight Wednesday.
District Court Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, an Obama appointee, ruled that Ben Hill County still cannot remove any voters from voter rolls but said the Muscogee County Board of Elections and Registration can remove voters if they do not rely solely on the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address system.
The board must allow voters whose eligibility has been challenged to cast a provisional ballot in the Jan. 5, 2021, runoff elections. They also must advise the voter of specific evidence of ineligibility by phone and in writing
Seattle—Data from the Washington state Department of Health shows only a fraction of the more than 356,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine delivered here have been used. During a briefing Wednesday, health officials said less than 20% of the distribution—59,491 doses—had been administered as of Wednesday morning. Health officials blamed some of the delays on the holidays, as the Moderna vaccine arrived in the state on Christmas Eve.
Other states across the country are showing similar trends. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show more than 12 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been distributed to states, but so far less
New York has administered less than a third of the coronavirus vaccine doses it has on hand so far—even as Mayor de Blasio boldly claimed Thursday he’d have a million city residents inoculated within a month. Around 630,000 vaccine doses have been sent to the Empire State, but just 203,000 doses had actually made their way into New Yorkers’ arms as of Wednesday, state data shows. The figure, around 32 percent, is slightly higher than the national rate, with around 22.5 percent of the 12.4 million doses distributed being administered as of Wednesday, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A series of pet food products have been recalled due to “potentially fatal” levels of a toxin, the Food and Drug Administration announced Wednesday.
Several Sportmix products from Midwestern Pet Foods have been linked to deadly levels of aflatoxin, a toxin that grows on mold on corn and other grains used as ingredients in pet food. At least 28 dogs have died so far and eight others have fallen ill.(Snip) Symptoms of aflatoxin poisoning include sluggishness, loss of appetite, vomiting jaundice (yellowish tint to the eyes, gums, or skin due to liver damage) and diarrhea, according to the FDA.
Alexander Wang performed sex acts on a young man while he was blacked out from drinking and refused to let him know where he was, a man has exclusively claimed to DailyMail.com. The 37-year-old celeb-favorite designer was accused this week of sexual assault and spiking drinks with MDMA by multiple alleged victims who claimed Wang's 'predatory' behavior was an open secret in the fashion industry for years.(Snip) The outpouring of claims came after model and graphic designer Owen Mooney took to TikTok to share his alleged encounter with Wang in 2017, describing how he 'froze' when Wang groped his crotch
President Donald Trump returned to Washington D.C. on New Year's Eve amid a fight with Congress over $2,000 stimulus checks, the defense bill and the upcoming certification of the electoral college vote - and he released a New Year's video message claiming that 'everyone is calling' to thank him for the vaccine. Trump and first lady Melania Trump held hands as they walked from Marine One toward the White House with the president splitting off from his wife to go to the Oval Office. The return from Florida came a day earlier than planned and the first couple is missing the annual New Year's Eve gala at Mar-a-Lago,
VALDOSTA, Georgia—South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem urged Georgians to rally behind GOP Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) here on Wednesday, the second of many stops in her latest swing through the Peach State ahead of Tuesday’s upcoming U.S. Senate runoffs.Loeffler and Perdue, this coming Tuesday, respectively face Democrats Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in runoffs that will determine majority control of the upper congressional chamber. If both Democrats win, the U.S. Senate would deadlock at a 50-50 tie and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would cut the ties, throwing control of the chamber to the Democrats.
A Jewish Brooklyn man faces hate crime charges for allegedly scrawling messages on four synagogues, and burglarizing one of them, during an hour-long crime spree. Emil Benjamin, 39, was charged Thursday with burglary and criminal mischief as a hate crime in connection with the early Saturday spree. Benjamin told the Daily News in 2011, after he was stabbed on a Brooklyn subway platform, that he’s a Kavkazi Jew. Five years later, he was accused of stealing four Torah scrolls worth more than $200,000 from another synagogue in Midwood.(Snip) He’s accused of writing “Pedophiles,” “Thieves” and “Anti-Acculturation” on the front and sides of the buildings.
A review has been launched after more than 40 people were mistakenly injected with the Regeneron antibody treatment instead of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine at a West Virginia clinic. The West Virginia National Guard announced the monumental blunder Thursday revealing that 42 people were given the antibody cocktail at a vaccination clinic in Boone County in the southwestern part of the state the day before. Officials insisted the antibody injection is 'not harmful' to the individuals but said the health department will follow up 'regularly' with them anyway.
The group has also been prioritized and offered the real vaccine Thursday.
Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday he will hear Sen. Josh Hawley make his case next week against Congress certifying President-elect Joseph R. Biden‘s election victory, but cast doubt on his colleague’s prospects for success.
“Senator Hawley has every right to object,” said Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “But it’s another thing to overturn an election of another state.” Mr. Hawley, Missouri Republican, announced Wednesday he will object when Congress meets next week to count the Electoral College votes affirming Mr. Biden‘s decisive victory over President Trump. Citing concerns about how the election was conducted in several states,
The hacking group behind the SolarWinds compromise was able to break into Microsoft and access some of the company’s source code, Microsoft said Thursday. In a blog post, the company said its investigation had turned up irregularities with a “small number of internal accounts” and that one of the accounts “had been used to view source code in a number of source code repositories.” The disclosure adds to the ever-growing picture of the compromises associated with the SolarWinds hack, which used the Texas-based company’s flagship network monitoring software as a springboard to break into the sensitive US government networks and other tech companies.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) officially stated that he will object to the Electoral College vote count to be held in the Senate on January 6. May this courageous man be the first of many senators to take a stand against the overwhelming evidence of election fraud. If neither candidate wins enough Electoral College votes on January 6, Trump should win — and it's all in the Constitution without the need for any strained statutory interpretations.Let me start with an overview of what happens on January 6. It's crucial to appreciate how this can end if Hawley is joined by several senators who refuse to certify
Ontario's finance minister has been forced to resign after going on a lockdown-busting St Barts vacation and posting a fake Christmas Eve video in an effort to hide his real location. Rod Phillips shared a video of himself drinking eggnog in a sweater in front of a fireplace with a gingerbread house and a little Christmas tree. He thanked Ontarians staying home and avoiding nonessential travel because of the pandemic over the Christmas holidays, telling them: 'I want to thank every one of you for what we are doing to protect our most vulnerable.' Except that Phillips was enjoying a Caribbean vacation at the time
Richmond, Virginia School Superintendent Jason Kamras accepted the “heartfelt” apology by 2019 National Teacher of the Year Rodney Robinson for calling for the beating of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). Robinson later said he meant the comment as a joke. Kamras did not indicate whether Robinson will face any repercussions.(Photo) “Who are Mitch McConnell’s neighbors? I’m just saying Rand Paul’s neighbor did what a true Kentucky hero should do. It’s your turn to step up.”
On Thursday, members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate sent an urgent letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House GOP leader Keven McCarthy, telling them to dispute the election results in the state of Pennsylvania.The letter was signed by 27 Pennsylvania lawmakers."Today, members of the PA House and Senate request that Sen Mitch McConnell and Rep Kevin McCarthy dispute the PA election results until an investigation is conducted into the numerous claims of fraud," said Pennsylvania state Senator Doug Mastriano.
A federal judge has agreed to allow a Georgia county to require that certain voters cast provisional ballots, just days before two runoff elections in the state that will decide control of the U.S. Senate.
More than 4,000 voters faced eligibility challenges ahead of the Jan. 5 runoffs based on unverified postal change-of-address records. The new injunction from U.S. District Court Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, issued just before midnight on Wednesday, replaces an earlier restraining order she had issued that prevented Muscogee County from forcing those voters to cast provisional ballots at all. The latest order represents a significant move in the direction the county board urged during a court hearing
An anti-lockdown protester and comrade of Jeremy Corbyn's anti-vaxxer brother Piers has been arrested for filming inside a hospital and sharing footage on social media she claims shows the coronavirus pandemic is a 'massive scam'. Debbie Hicks wandered around Gloucester Royal Hospital on Monday saying it was 'shut down' and 'dead' and was arrested in her dressing gown by two officers who visited her home in Stroud 24 hours later. In the eight-minute film, viewed by 158,000 people on Facebook, she says: 'We've been put in Tier 3, for this? It's a disgrace. I've seen less than 20 people. It's completely dead
Hilaria Baldwin has claimed that she hails from Spain, but a genealogist has weighed in to confirm that Boston-born Hillary Hayward-Thomas is anything but Spanish. Genealogist Dr. Adina Newman says there is 'no Spain in sight' after tracing Hilaria's lineage back to England, Ireland, Germany, Quebec, modern day Slovakia and finally settling in New England. Nowhere in her family tree does the mother-of-five have any ties to Spain, with the only connection being vacationing in the European country during her childhood and her parents retiring to the island of Majorca in 2011.(Snip) Hilaria's roots are so deep in New England,
I don't know if fed up Americans will rise up in the near future and defend their liberties against an ever more abusive and oppressive system of government, but I do know that 2020 has revealed vividly the post-constitutional wilderness the nation has entered. Not since the days of slavery or internment have federal and local governments attacked the natural rights and freedoms of individual Americans so concertedly as they have this past year. Arbitrary house arrests; the denial of religious freedoms; the closing of private businesses without any equitable measures of compensation; the intentional disregard for the destruction of private property while anarchists are given
Yesterday Senator Josh Hawley announced that he will object during the Electoral College certification process on Jan 6. He will call for Congress to launch a full investigation of potential fraud and election irregularities and enact election integrity measures. Several House Republicans have previously signaled their intention to do the same.(Snip)Representative-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wrote in a tweet that the word on Capitol Hill is that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell may strike a deal to change the rules in how congressional members can object to Joe Biden’s slate of electors.
San Francisco announced Thursday it is extending its stay-at-home and 10-day travel quarantine orders. The extension of both orders will continue until California lifts the stay-at-home order for the entire Bay Area region. "We have been proactive in putting the stay at home order and travel quarantine in place to protect San Franciscans and in the hopes that by acting quickly, we could flatten the curve and re-open faster," Mayor London Breed said in a statement. "This seems to be working but we need more time to determine that we are moving in the right direction and that the December
The presidential election is all but over now—“all but” because it was so obviously stolen that there is still a chance truth and justice will prevail, with Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) yesterday becoming the first senator to announce plans to object to congressional certification, which will force the House and Senate to vote on whether to uphold Biden’s contested victory in the Electoral College. The wokies are beyond ecstatic, humming “Hail to the Chief” whenever they think of Joe Biden—or even Hunter Biden, China Joe’s son, under investigation by the Justice Department since late 2018.
The woke media—a media too corrupt to print,
President-elect Joe Biden’s pick for a top Pentagon post has a lengthy Twitter history of defending British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited dossier and promoting allegations of Trump-Russia collusion.
A statement issued on Wednesday said Colin Kahl, a former deputy assistant to President Barack Obama and national security adviser to then-vice president Biden from 2014 to 2017, was announced as Biden's nominee for undersecretary of defense for policy, along with Kathleen Hicks picked as deputy defense secretary. Biden said Kahl would “help lead the Department of Defense with integrity and resolve” and “safeguard the lives and interests of the American people.” He currently works as co-director of Stanford's Center
The family gap

In a speech to the Federalist Society in November, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito reiterated his concern that ‘in certain quarters, religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored right’. Small wonder that the subject was on his mind. A week earlier, the Court had heard oral arguments in the latest religious-liberty case, Fulton v. City of Philadelphia. In it, Catholic Social Services — one of some 30 agencies used by the city to place foster children in private homes — claimed religious exemption for its policy of placing kids in traditional mom-and-dad family settings.
So far, one might think, so unremarkable: a Catholic agency conforms its good works to Catholic principles.
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after a gang of 25 teenagers launched a brazen attack on a luxury SUV while the driver and his terrified 74-year-old mother sat inside fearing they would be killed. Horrifying video shows a gang on bicycles smashing up Max Torgovnick's BMW on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue in broad daylight on Tuesday. Torgovnick, who hails from the Upper East Side, was behind the wheel when the mob started leaping on the vehicle and stomping on its windshield as his elderly mother wept beside him and screamed 'They are going to kill us'.

Jon Ossoff has heard the critiques from skeptics who doubt he can really win his runoff election against Sen. David Perdue: He’s too young. He lacks the political experience. He’s out of touch with real Georgians. But Ossoff insists he’s paid his dues and is poised for victory. “I’m not just showing up with an election around the corner and asking for support,” Ossoff told Yahoo News in a phone interview on Monday. “I cut my teeth working for John Lewis. ... I’ve been working on criminal justice reform issues for a decade. I have a heart for justice and
The hullabaloo about a retired Northwestern University lecturer denouncing Jill Biden’s use of the honorific “doctor” occurs amid a larger debate over the value of the university and its degrees.
As faculty members at Northwestern, and as officers in the campus chapter of the American Association of University Professors, we worry that a surprise grade change policy announced earlier this fall shamelessly eviscerates Northwestern’s educational mission.(Snip) the policy puts the bow on Northwestern’s gifting of degrees, not education. Promising credit for a hidden “D” assures tuition payments from the wealthy students and is a cheap way to increase the likelihood that students receiving financial aid will graduate, a key metric
Urban and suburban counties where Biden has allegedly outperformed Trump had the most military ballots outstanding, including Fulton with 956, DeKalb with 802, and Gwinnett with 741, according to data released on November 4th. Those could include service members anywhere in the world who are still registered in Georgia.
But some strange stuff did happen in Georgia as all 900 military ballots in Fulton County went for Biden.
During the hearing, Georgia poll watcher announced that 93% of the military ballots in Georgia were impossibly for Biden.
The Georgia State Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections unanimously passed motion to audit Fulton County’s absentee ballots on Wednesday following the bombshell testimony of an expert witness who said his team was able to hack into the Dominion voting system.

President Donald Trump spent his fourth year in office running for re-election on major accomplishments for the country but also battling the effects of the Chinese coronavirus. Despite a challenging year, there were key victories for the president and his supporters felt particularly vindicated about their decision to vote for him. These moments are “MAGA moments,” when it was clear Trump was keeping his campaign promise to his supporters to Make America Great Again.Here is this year’s list: 15.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris recently tweeted:
“Our Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories. The whole family would gather around across multiple generations and we’d tell stories and light the candles. Whether you’re celebrating this year with those you live with or over Zoom, happy Kwanzaa!”
Post some pictures, Kamala! We’d love to see your Brahmin and Jamaican grandparents sitting around the Kwanzaa candles recalling celebrations way back when they were three or four years younger. (The Washington Post‘s “Fact Checker” should start counting Kamala’s lies!)
Kwanzaa, celebrated exclusively by white liberals, is a fake holiday invented in 1966 (when Kamala was 2 years old) by black radical/FBI stooge Ron Karenga
This is rather remarkable. In real time, during live testimony before a Georgia Senate Committee, a witness testifies to using Wifi capbility to enter the Fulton County voting system via the internet while the hearing was ongoing. WATCH: (Video)
Nearly all would agree that 2020 has been a miserable year. A major reason for that misery, apart from the Chinese COVID-19 pandemic, was the utter failure of the American media. Our information purveyors no longer tell the truth or deal in facts, but rather trade in bankrupt far-left theories of wokeness, political correctness and cancel culture.
And now that Joe Biden could be our next president, the big media’s soft gloves will go back on. No more tough questions, according to The Atlantic.

The media kept quiet about a hearing on Wednesday before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections. Perhaps they did so because important information emerged establishing beyond a doubt that significant fraud occurred in Georgia, enough to change that state’s electoral votes. This post focuses on voting machine hacking, shredded evidence, statistical improbabilities, negative counts, and over one hundred thousand “adjudications” that destroyed all evidence of a citizen’s original intent.
Jovan Pulitzer (snip) announced during the hearing that his team had easily hacked into a voting system identical to the systems used during the election
In 2015 and 2016 candidate Donald J Trump was able to break through the controls of the Republican party apparatus by gathering overwhelming grassroots support and then not backing down from the internal fight with the elites. The Trump movement is based on a non-special interest, color-blind and large coalition of middle-class workers and American patriots who want to see the best interests of our nation supersede all other issues.
Despite a similar populist style, albeit clouded with larger government intervention, what Donald Trump did with the RNC candidate Bernie Sanders refused to do with the DNC.
On Dec. 28, Pennsylvania lawmakers concluded that "Numbers Don’t Add Up, Certification Of Presidential Results Premature and In Error"
President Trump tweeted about it:

These lawmakers need to recall the slate of electors and tell House and Senate that the election results cannot be ascertained in their state. They should probably hold a vote that overturns the certification of the awful election.

A group of genes passed down from human cousins who went extinct 50,000 years ago explains why inhabitants of certain regions of the world are far more susceptible to COVID-19 than people living elsewhere, according to new interdisciplinary research.
Two distinct phenomena—the migration of homo sapiens from east Africa to the north and east between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago and the spread of the novel coronavirus in the opposite direction over the past year—are connected, concludes Duke University scholar Adrian Bejan in his paper, “Coronavirus Invasion and Neanderthal Retreat.”

LOS ANGELES -The leading U.S. infectious disease specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said on Wednesday he foresees America achieving enough collective COVID-19 immunity through vaccinations to regain "some semblance of normality" by autumn 2021, despite early setbacks in the vaccine rollout. Fauci made his remarks during an online discussion of the pandemic with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who announced at the outset that a more infectious coronavirus variant originally found in Britain has been detected in his state, a day after the first known U.S. case was documented in Colorado. Newsom said the coronavirus variant B.1.1.7 had been confirmed earlier in
This year has been dominated by the pain and suffering thrust upon the globe by the criminal acts of the Chinese Communist Party.

The French writer Jean Raspail died this summer. It was somehow fitting that the man whose dark novel The Camp of the Saints foretold the end of western civilization should pass at a time when everything seemed to be falling apart.As a summary of the state of the world at the time of his death, one could hardly do better than to quote a passage from Raspail’s prophetic book: “Day by day, month by month, doubt by doubt, law and order became fascism; education, constraint; work, alienation; revolution, mere sport; leisure, a privilege of class; marijuana, a harmless weed; family, a stifling hothouse; affluence, oppression; success,

8 Education Choice Wins in 2020
replies
This year, the coronavirus pandemic presented new hurdles for 55.1 million students and their families after 124,000 public and private schools closed nationwide. Despite these unprecedented challenges, policymakers and families responded quickly with innovative solutions, which helped to advance education choice in 2020.
Here are eight examples of education choice wins from this year:
1. Supreme Court Protects Religious Schools’ Rights
The Supreme Court case Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue was a victory for private school choice. The court affirmed that states cannot stop religious schools from participating in a state’s school choice program.
Life seldom offers second chances. When opportunity knocks you can either answer the door or sit idly by as opportunity moves on to the next house, never to return. Opportunity is knocking on the doors of elected Republicans today. Will the door be answered? Do Republicans hear the knocking, or are their fingers in their ears, trying hard to not hear anything, reminiscent of Sergeant Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes?
President Trump is the door knocker. He started knocking in June 2015 when he rode down the Trump Tower escalator promising to Make America Great Again. Some in the GOP answered his call and stood firm to support Trump’s agenda
Follow the Science” has become a frequently heard rallying cry from the Left and their media in recent months. An even newer phenomenon is the bumper sticker asking “Got Science?” which is often spotted adorning a Prius or Subaru, between the drivers’ other decals pleading “Feel the Bern” and “Resist.” Anyone paying attention understands that those of us who disagree with our friends on the Left on matters of science tend to do so not based on any aversion to science, but rather the political nature and behavior of individuals within the scientific community. The issue isn’t science at all. The problem is scientists,
