The Poynter Institute is a Florida-based journalism organization that runs PolitiFact. On Poynter.org, a daily media report runs by Tom Jones, who sounds like Brian Stelter’s identically thinking twin. Poynter says it supports “responsible news and fact-based information,” but its incessant party line of liberal-media cheerleading and conservative-media loathing really came through when Jones made a list of the “best and worst of news media in 2020.”Best national news: “ABC’s David Muir, with his steady presence behind the desk, is leading what has become the best network evening newscast.” But he loves CBS and NBC, too! “All, however, are good, and that includes the ‘PBS NewsHour’ with outstanding anchor
It was one of the highest-grossing films of the 1970s and has been delighting audiences ever since.
But now the hit musical Grease has become the latest target of ‘woke’ critics who have condemned it for racism, sexism, homophobia and ‘slut-shaming’.
Outraged detractors have called for the story of Sandy and Danny’s rollercoaster high-school romance to be cancelled – and never shown on TV again.
When BBC1 screened the movie on Boxing Day, 42 years after its cinema release, youngsters took to social media to label it ‘rapey’ and misogynist for showing how strait-laced Sandy, played by Olivia Newton-John, transformed herself into a vamp to bag the man of her dreams...
A homeless man was busted Saturday for the horrific New Year’s Eve strangulation rape by a bogus deliveryman, thanks to Manhattan cops who spotted a jaywalker in a canary yellow jacket—the same distinctive color worn by the attacker, sources told The Post.(Snip) They recognized him from surveillance photos, sources said after the arrest of Elijah Kelly, 23, who lived at the nearby and notorious 30th Street Men’s Shelter next to Bellevue Hospital. The massive, 1,000-bed facility has sheltered dozens of homeless sex offenders at a time. Kelly has at least three strangulation accusations on his rap sheet, the earliest from fights
With apologies to Mark Twain, reports about the death of Trumpism are premature. At least for a few days more, Donald Trump has license to keep upsetting apple carts in Washington.Just when it seemed the president was roadkill and about to be abandoned by his own party, growing numbers of GOP members of Congress are signing on to a last-ditch effort to challenge the election results. Because success in any state would require a majority of both houses to vote no, the objectors are virtually certain to fail. Yet the swelling ranks of supporters in both chambers signals that it’s still Trump’s party and that enough of his 74.2 million
Two Minnesota legislators called for a nationwide audit of death certificates this week, alleging that the number of coronavirus deaths is being deliberately inflated.Republican state Rep. Mary Franson and Republican state Sen. Scott Jensen appeared on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday to discuss the possible inflation.The lawmakers alleged that, although many death certificates list COVID-19 as the cause of death, they found multiple instances in the state where patients actually died of something else entirely.Franson said she made the discovery after she was approached by concerned citizens who had documents from the Minnesota Department of Health
Vice President Mike Pence has said he will support the bid by a dozen Republican Senators to overturn Joe Biden's election win in Congress next week. Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, issued a statement Saturday saying the VP 'shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election.' '(Pence) welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on Jan. 6th', the statement continued.
One important public service President Donald Trump has performed for the American people has been to pull the veneer back and fully expose the incredible bias of the establishment media.Only 28 percent of Americans surveyed by Gallup last month rated the honesty and ethical standards of journalists as either “very high” or “high.”Contrast that with police officers, who earned a combined 52 percent rating in those categories, down just 2 percentage points from 2019, despite the massive “defund the police” protests nationwide.Not surprisingly amid the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses (at 89 percent), medical doctors (at 77 percent, up 12 percentage points from ’19)

Own Rules During The Pandemic replies
The long New Year holiday weekend is no excuse for stricter restrictions to be put in place by Austin Mayor Steve Adler during a spike in coronavirus cases. Adler took it upon himself to clamp down on bars and restaurants in the last minute order earlier this week in the name of coronavirus mitigation. The Supreme Court of Texas sided with Governor Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a lawsuit asking that the restrictions be halted. This is an update to a post I wrote on Thursday. Mayor Adler imposed new restrictions limiting indoor and outdoor dine-in food and beverage services after 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Jason D. Meister, Advisory Board Member of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc, tweeted a couple days ago one possibility for how President Trump remains President of the United States for the next four years.This information was republished at The Palmieri Report and the tweets were apparently from an Epoch Times article. The 12th Amendment sets forth a procedure for resolving a disputed election where neither candidate achieves a majority of electoral votes. In that case, a “contingent election” is held by the House:

Courts Leaving Americans No Choice
But to Take to the Streets replies
Rep. Louie Gohmert blasted federal courts including the Supreme Court for punting on every election-related case brought before them before and after the Nov. 3 elections, including one he filed last week.Gohmert’s suit challenged the constitutionality of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, which specifies how electoral ballots are supposed to be tallied. According to the suit, the law is unconstitutional because the 12th Amendment lays out the procedure and, specifically, does not say that the president of the Senate – who is the sitting vice president – has to choose specific sets of electors when there are competing sets, as there are this year.
Left-wing CNN political commentator and host Don Lemon was caught with a blackface Mammy cookie jar, and this has inspired a debate over whether it’s inappropriate and potentially racist for him to own such a divisive object.Lemon was caught with the Mammy cookie jar while broadcasting from his home on New Year’s Eve alongside fellow left-wing CNN commentator Brooke Baldwin.(Tweets/Photos) In case the photo has been removed, an archived copy remains here.

VALDOSTA, Georgia — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Breitbart News exclusively here that whoever wins the Georgia Senate runoffs will directly impact mothers across the state and the country.Noem’s interview came during a campaign stop here in downtown Valdosta at Jessie’s Restaurant after she met with GOP voters as part of an effort to turn out the vote for Sens. David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) in Tuesday’s upcoming runoffs. The Wednesday interview, which aired on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, came after she spoke and took questions from local GOP voters gathered in the restaurant.
Vice President Mike Pence said he welcomes efforts by lawmakers to challenge Electoral College results in the upcoming congressional joint session on Jan. 6, when the votes are formally counted, according to a statement sent by his chief of staff to reporters.

U.S. troops suspect that Iran may attempt to take revenge on President Donald Trump for the death of Quds Force General Qassem Soleimani on the anniversary of the airstrike that killed Soleimani. This week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani sent a cryptic warning to Trump, gloating about Trump’s loss in the 2020 election and warning that the American president’s life “will end” in “a few days.” In a speech during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rouhani warned, “As I said after the martyrdom of Martyr Soleimani, I emphasise again that if you cut off Martyr Soleimani’s hand, we will cut off your leg from the region
A Chicago rabbi has called on social service agencies to help a mother who has been accused of leaving her seven children alone inside a vacant Humboldt Park apartment.Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef, president of Tikkun Chair Inter-National, held a news conference Saturday afternoon outside the Circuit Court of Cook County, where the mother, Jessie Hunt, made her first court appearance.
Chicago police arrested 31-year-old Hunt after officers discovered seven children inside a vacant apartment unit during a well-being check at approximately 4 p.m. Friday in the 700 block of North Trumbull, authorities said.(Snip)Calling for empathy for Hunt's situation, Yosef said she needs help from social services instead of potential jail time.
A driver accused by police of killing two pedestrians in downtown San Francisco on New Year’s Eve while intoxicated and in a stolen car is a parolee who remained free despite being arrested several times in the city in recent months, according to city officials and public records. Troy Ramon McAlister, a 45-year-old city resident who was released on April 10 from a state prison sentence for robbery, was not charged with new crimes by the District Attorney’s Office after any of last year’s arrests, the most recent of which occurred on Dec. 20.

First came the outcry in a Denver newspaper op-ed, arguing that Colorado’s coronavirus vaccination plan would bring relief to a man who fatally shot four people before it protected the author’s law-abiding, 78-year-old father. Then came the backlash on social media. The accusation that state leaders were coddling convicts like Nathan Dunlap, who is being held for life in the Colorado State Penitentiary for the 1993 slayings at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, caught fire in pro-Trump Facebook groups with titles such as “ALL ABOARD THE TRUMP TRAIN.” Within days, the person behind the broadside, a Republican district attorney, was
One of America's most senior government officials says the most 'credible' theory about the origin of coronavirus is that it escaped from a laboratory in China.
Matthew Pottinger, who is President Donald Trump's respected Deputy National Security Adviser, told politicians from around the world that even China's leaders now openly admit their previous claims that the virus originated in a Wuhan market are false.(Snip) Iain Duncan Smith, the former Tory Party leader who attended the meeting, said Mr Pottinger's comments represented a 'stiffening' of the US position on the theory that the virus came from a leak at the laboratory, amid reports
If you don't believe masks work as much as the media tells you, left-wing journalist and NY Times bestselling author Kurt Eichenwald wants to literally "beat you to death". Yes, that's what he tweeted. In a New Years Eve twitter meltdown, Eichenwald blamed "anti-maskers" for the death of his brother in law, even though he provided no proof that a maskless person infected him. “I have so much hate in my heart tonight. My sister, widowed by COVID, has Covid because of antimaskers,” he wrote on Thursday. “About 4,000 died today; GOP says nothing. [Republican Sen. Josh Hawley] & his ilk are working to harm America.
Officials in the District of Columbia are characterizing a pro-Trump rally planned for January 6 as backed by extremists, but organizers say the event will feature well-respected conservative activists and elected lawmakers from across the country. According to the rally’s website, it will feature a wide range of conservatives, including Tea Party Patriot’s Jenny Beth Martin; president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles, Ed Martin; founder and president of Moms for America, Kimberly Fletcher; and Andrew Pollack, a school safety activist whose daughter was killed in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting. Elected officials slated to speak include Reps. Lance Gooden (R-TX) and Paul Gosar (R-AZ),
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed a bill Wednesday requiring women to either cremate or bury fetal remains from surgical abortions.
The bill signed into law states the “pregnant woman is responsible for the costs related to the final disposition of the fetal remains at the chosen location.”
If cremation is chosen, the fetus must also be placed in a “grave, crypt, or niche,” the measure states.
Whoever fails to follow the bill’s requirements will face “a misdemeanor of the first degree.”
Planned Parenthood has slammed the bill as unnecessary and described it as another attack against women.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and 10 other GOP senators have signed a letter announcing they will vote “to reject the electors from disputed states as not ‘regularly given’ and ‘lawfully certified’” until a 10-day emergency audit can be conducted in those states. “We do not take this action lightly. We are acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it,” Cruz wrote in the letter, which was released Saturday. The letter states that the 2020 election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities,” which exceed previous elections and must be investigated fully.

Over 400 people from the Intelligence Community (IC), military, law enforcement, and the judiciary have formed a loose network to investigate irregularities in the 2020 election.
Robert Caron, one of the organizers of this network, began his intelligence career with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He later worked for the Special Situation Group, a task force established by President George H.W. Bush that includes strategic planning, technologies, and foreign and domestic investigations.
He told The Epoch Times that he was recruited to the network in 2014, during which time many in the intelligence community (IC) were seeing an increase in improper operations. Many IC officers were withholding information from their leaders, and
A printing business in upstate New York that has been a staple in the community for nearly a century burned to the ground on Christmas Eve. Taking 70 firefighters to put out the raging flames, City Blue Imaging Services on Scio Street in Rochester was reduced to rubble by Christmas morning.

A group of GOP senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will object to the Jan. 6 certification of the presidential election results next week unless there is an emergency 10-day audit of the results by an electoral commission. Cruz and the other senators claim the Nov. 3 election "featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud and illegal conduct."

U.S. health care workers are first in line to receive the COVID-19 vaccine—but an alarming number across the country are refusing to do so. Earlier this week, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine disclosed that about 60 percent of the nursing home workers in his state have so far chosen not to get vaccinated. More than half of New York City’s EMS workers have shown skepticism, The Post reported last month. And now California and Texas are experiencing a high rate of health care worker refusals, according to reports. An estimated 50 percent of frontline workers in Riverside County in the Golden State opted against the drug,
Louisville, Ky.—Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's home in the Highlands area of Louisville was vandalized overnight. Messages were written on the front of the home in red and white spray paint. The words "Weres my money" were spray painted on the front door along with other messages along the front porch. That is in reference to the $2,000 stimulus check increase that was blocked by the senator. The rest of McConnell's home appears to be untouched.

A group of 11 senators on Saturday announced they’re going to challenge electoral votes during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.
“America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law,” the group wrote in a joint statement.
Twenty-four Louisiana House Republicans are calling on the state’s Republican congressional delegation to reject the electors for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen.

Gohmert “alleges at most an institutional injury to the House of Representatives,” Kernodle wrote. “Under well-settled Supreme Court authority, that is insufficient to support standing.” (Snip) In a written statement, Gohmert added, “When no one ever has standing, what good is a court system?”
Colorado's minimum wage went up 32 cents an hour on Friday, with restaurants holding on by their fingernails during the COVID-19 pandemic saying it may be the last straw. The increase could prove catastrophic to restaurants already on the verge of closure, said Sonia Riggs, CEO of the Colorado Restaurant Association.

Nancy Pelosi’s House Caucus might have received a beatdown in the 2020 election, 2021 might be ushering in a new Congress in which the Democrats will have a razor-thin majority, and Donald Trump might not be around much longer to trash, 24×7, but make no mistake: the Democrat Party will continue its march to the Left without even breaking stride.One look at the 117th Congressional Rules Package is all you to make the point.Henceforth, as announced by House leaders on Friday, “future-focused” proposals will abound, one of such being a proposal to replace “gendered terms” with “gender-neutral” terms.

If you’re starting to feel like you’re in some kind of a live punk’d version of The Sting (the classic Robert Redford, Paul Newman film for our younger readers) then you are not alone. Put another way, those of you who are beginning to feel that we’re not only living in an “upside-down world,” as some conservative pundits are wont to say, but are living in a world that has fully become one big con job, divorced from truth, then join the crowd.One of the active ingredients in this false construct of today’s fabricated reality is the notion that if it’s truthful it must be verified on the blockchain.
In the aftermath of the election, the Democrats who control the election machinery in the disputed states have gone out of their way to avoid scrutiny. Americans have been inundated with stories of shredded mail-in envelopes, lost thumb drives, wiped computers, and slow-walked requests for documents that states are required to preserve for post-election reviews. No state, however, has acted with such heavy-handed desperation as Georgia when it comes to hiding ballots. We’ve already reported here twice about the Georgia ballots, but the story keeps developing and there’s always more to tell.
On Wednesday, Susan Knox and Sally Grubbs testified before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee.

In the year of Joe Biden, set to steal a fraudulently won presidency, the mainstream media are pushing another fraudulent "narrative," this one of America rejecting capitalism.
Both the New York Times and the Washington Post opened the new year with an appalling attack on free markets.
The page one headline from the Washington Post was this:
The stock market is ending 2020 at record highs, even as the virus surges and millions go hungry.
Not to be outdone, the New York Times ran a front page explainer headlined with this:
Why Markets Boomed in a Year of Human Misery.
The logic here is atrocious.
A big question for 2021 is whether Americans will continue to put up with the lockdowns. An obituary honoring an 86-year-old man in Bismarck, North Dakota, may reflect a rising tide of anger that sees Americans rebel against the arbitrary, capricious lockdown regulations that hypocritical politicians impose. The obituary, in addition to celebrating a true American, tells the brutal truth about how this man died all alone, kept from his family for almost a year, because of lockdown policies that arguably have made no difference whatsoever.
