As we previously reported at The Gateway Pundit —
A recent hand recount in the Rockingham District 7 NH House Race in Windham, New Hampshire, found that the Dominion-owned voting machines shorted EVERY REPUBLICAN by roughly 300 votes. The Dominion-owned machine counted results were wrong for all 4 Republicans in Windham by almost exactly 300 votes.
Granite Grok reported: The Town of Windham used Dominion machines to count paper ballots and upon a believable hand recount, it was confirmed each Republican was machine-cheated out of roughly 300 votes.
You would think this would have been solved by the Dominion machine company,

Ugly truth about ‘Honest Joe’
replies
Now that the election is over and President Biden is installed in the White House, it’s safe for the truth about his character to dribble out. And what do you know? Turns out the ethical standards of “Honest Joe” aren’t worth a hill of beans. Starting with the obvious, Hunter Biden is still in business with the Chinese Communist Party. White House press secretary Jen Psaki admitted a little over a week ago that the president’s wayward 51-year-old son still owns 10 percent of Chinese equity firm BHR Partners.
Only after former President Trump was acquitted for the second time in an impeachment trial did ABC finally give any form of credence to the Republican argument that the Senate was not the right place to hold a former president accountable. And during Valentine’s Day Sunday, Good Morning America was trying to count the ways and charges Trump could face and the federal and state levels to bar him from running for office ever again.“In his speech after the vote to acquit, after he, in fact, voted to acquit, [Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell [R-KY] said,
BREAKING: Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has released a statement confirming he believes former President Donald Trump is guilty of inciting insurrection against the United States government. This is a developing story. Updates will be provided as warranted. [sarc]
Really, Mitt? Good thing you cleared that up, bud.
Lest anyone accuse Romney of believing Trump was guilty as the Capitol riot was unfolding, he wanted to make sure everyone knew he only arrived at his decision “after careful consideration.” [rolling-eyes emoji]
“After careful consideration [LOL] of the respective counsels’ arguments, I have concluded that President Trump is guilty of the charge made by the House of Representatives.
Katy Tur has never been known as a straight shooter. One of the more partisan voices on MSNBC (and that’s saying something), she presents herself as a hard news anchor while finding it absolutely impossible to not let her left-wing bias show through. At one point, she compared journalists to fire fighters, rushing into burning buildings because there’s no more a delusional group of people on the planet than those who work in the legacy news industry.
Yesterday, the Trump team dropped a video at his impeachment trial of Democrats calling to “fight like hell” over the last several years.
Now that impeachment is just one more card in the political deck, to be played by whichever party controls the House of Representatives, the question naturally arises: what should Republicans do when they retake control of the House, very likely in 2022?
Lindsay Graham warns that if the Democrats could impeach Donald Trump with the false assertion that he incited violence, a far stronger claim along the same lines can be made against Kamala Harris: Tom Cotton, among many others, has also pointed out Harris’s explicit support for rioting, looting and arson (not demonstrating or protesting, as no one was arrested for that), although not specifically in the context of impeachment:
Wow, what coincidental timing.
The story claiming that a police officer was murdered by Trump supporters during the Capitol Hill protest on January 6 is, for all practical purposes, retracted by the NYT the day after Pres. Trump is acquitted on the impeachment charge of having instigated those protests — which were declared by Democrats and the media an “insurrection” against the government. If you search for the original NYT story today, you find the following “Note” now at the top:

Players for Scotland and Wales all remained standing ahead of their Six Nations rugby match on Saturday, defying uproar over many players not kneeling to Black Lives Matter at the earlier Scotland vs England fixture.
While players for England — with some notable exceptions — decided to “take a knee” for Black Lives Matter before facing off against the Scots team in their home stadium, only a handful of Scottish players followed suit.
The Scots went on to heft the Calcutta Cup after soundly defeating the English team — their first win over their much larger neighbour on English soil since 1983
In the wake of the Democrat’s second failed attempt to impeach and remove President Trump, Lindsey Graham, in an appearance of Fox News Sunday, said that Democrats have now opened Pandora’s Box, and that by the standard they’ve set, Kamala Harris has met their requirement for impeachment.
“The trial record was a complete joke,” Senator Graham said. “Hearsay on top of hearsay, and we’ve opened Pandora’s Box for future presidents and if you use this model, I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if Republicans take over the House because she actually bailed out rioters,
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to release about 25,600 migrants, who have been in Mexico, into American communities in Texas and California, Breitbart News has learned.After Biden ended the “Remain in Mexico” policy — which drastically reduced asylum fraud by keeping migrants in Mexico while they await their asylum hearings in the United States — DHS announced that it would begin processing the 25,600 migrants in the program on February 19.Ultimately, the migrants will enter the U.S. interior.
Between 10 and 15 million voters in this country decide the outcome of Presidential elections and the partisan makeup of the Congress. These are the voters who “swing” from one party to the other during election cycles. Capturing the majority of these voters is the path to winning control of the government. It is said that Donald Trump received 75 million votes in this past election while Joe Biden received 81 million. Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton but prevailed by narrow margins in a handful of states in order to win the Electoral College. Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney
Bluefield College, a small Baptist liberal arts school nestled in the Appalachian mountains in Bluefield, Virginia doesn’t seem to be a likely place to make national news. But when players on the men’s basketball team took a knee during the playing of the national anthem — after being warned several times it was against school policy — the school president promptly suspended the players and forfeited a game.
The players had knelt several times before games in January and February, at both home and away contests. After being warned about the practice, the players decided to stay in the locker room
Utah’s Republican governor has signed a bill into law allowing residents to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.
The law, signed by Gov. Spencer Cox on Friday, goes into effect in May and allows anyone age 21 and older to carry a concealed weapon without a background check by the FBI or a training course, according to Fox 13 Salt Lake City.
"With the passage of this bill, Utah joins 17 other states with some form of permitless concealed carry," Cox said. "This bill protects Second Amendment rights, reduces permitless open carry and includes significant funding for suicide prevention.”
Oklahoma City — Much of the country is bracing for a major blast of winter and bone-chilling cold. This weekend, Seattle saw its most snow in nearly half a century. And on Sunday night, at least 168 million people are under winter weather alerts. Snow is expected from Texas to Maine. Ice is a big concern in the South and Northeast. The Midwest is already in a deep freeze — with arctic air expected to descend all the way to the Gulf Coast.

Just as it has for the last four years, the uber-liberal “Saturday Night Live” show opened with Trump, Trump, Trump.But during the show’s “Weekend Update,” the anchors mocked the partisan, pointless impeachment trial, which predictably ended with former President Donald Trump’s acquittal.“Well, like so many other men living in Florida, Donald Trump has once again escaped from justice,” said co-host Colin Jost.“This has to be the dumbest trial I’ve ever seen. Here’s how dumb it was: the jurors who were deciding the case were the ones attacked by the defender; the trial took place at the scene of the crime;
Impeachment: McConnell's Verdict
replies
It is one of the ironies of the trial of President Trump on a charge of incitement of insurrection that the remarks most likely to be studied by historians is the speech delivered after the verdict — not guilty — was brought in. It was after the Senate ordered the outcome be sent for safekeeping with the Secretary of State, and the court of impeachment was adjourned, that Senator Mitch McConnell unloaded. His speech is likely to go down as one of the most remarkable ever delivered in the Senate.
One of former President Donald Trump’s impeachment lawyers accused media companies of trying to push a narrative instead of sticking to the facts, saying news outlets are “trying to divide this country.”
“What this country wants and this country needs is this country to come together,” Michael T. van der Veen said, adding that the reason why there is so much divisiveness is “because of the media.”
“The media wants to tell their narrative rather than just telling it like it is,” he said, adding that corporate media outlets have “to start telling the right story in this country” and that the “media is trying to divide this country” to make a

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that former President Donald Trump had no future in politics.Anchor Chris Wallace said, “Lindsey Graham makes it clear he thinks that Donald Trump is still a viable and important force in the Republican politics. Is he?”Klobuchar said, “No. That’s because you can see what the numbers are with how he’s doing, what people think of him across the country. I say no.

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that Republicans could move to impeach Vice President Kamala Harris — arguing that former President Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial over provoking the Capitol riot “opened Pandora’s Box.”Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” a day after the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit the former president on a single charge of “incitement of insurrection,” the South Carolina Republican argued that the vice president’s support for a fund that bailed out protesters over the summer could leave her liable for the same punishment.“And if you use this model, I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if the Republicans

On Sunday, former Vice President Joe Biden took a big step forward in the push to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights. In a statement designed to coincide with the third anniversary of the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Florida, Biden called for the Democrat-controlled Congress to get cracking to produce legislation that would impose harsh new restrictions on ownership of firearms. The official White House statement played heavily on emotions by emphasizing the suffering of the victims’ families as well as the tragedy of the promising young lives cut short and promised action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer”
A white van that showed up in the middle of the night at Detroit‘s ballot counting center on Nov. 4 is Exhibit A for voter fraud, “Stop the Steal” advocates claim. But as the tale reemerged last week, Michigan state officials call the narrative grossly misleading. The vehicle and teams were simply working late on the busiest ballot-handling election in state history. The Washington Times interviewed two Detroit officials and reviewed court records. The verdict: evidence of fraud falls flat. The white van story sprouted shortly after Election Day as evidence of massive bogus ballot dumping. Jim Hoft, editor in chief

McConnell and the GOP elites (GOPe) worked against President Trump for years preventing him from passing his wildly popular agenda to protect America, its workers, and its citizens. McConnell did not hold back as he ripped Trump apart for a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and attempting to “overturn the election.” He claimed that the protesters stormed the Capitol because they had been “fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on earth,” and that Trump was “practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day.” CORRECTION*
The suspected “A-Train Ripper” is a 21-year-old homeless man from Brooklyn who confessed to the weekend subway slash spree and has previously been busted at least four times — including for felony assault just last month, police and law-enforcement sources said Sunday.
Rigoberto Lopez, who lives in a shelter in Boerum Hill, was charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree attempted murder over his latest alleged crime — the fatal knifings of a man and woman and the slashing of two other guys, the NYPD said.
A homeless man with a history of mental illness was charged Sunday with a grisly stabbing spree on the A-train line that left two people dead and two others wounded — and the city gripped with fear.
Rigoberto Lopez, 21, was nabbed Saturday night at W. 186th St. and Audubon Ave. in Washington Heights after hundreds of cops were deployed to keep the public safe and find the mystery killer. He confessed to all four unprovoked attacks, sources said.Cops charged him with murder and attempted murder Sunday afternoon.
TOLEDO, Ohio — When General Motors boldly announced its goal last month to make only battery-powered vehicles by 2035, it didn’t just mark a break with more than a century of making internal combustion engines. It also clouded the future for 50,000 GM workers whose skills — and jobs — could become obsolete far sooner than they knew. The message was clear: As a greener U.S. economy edges closer into view, GM wants a factory workforce that eventually will build only zero-emissions vehicles. It won’t happen overnight. But the likelihood is growing that legions of autoworkers who trained and worked

In recent months, the hatred of Fox News from the left has been almost matched by trending memes – from the right!

The acquittal of former President Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial is a fitting outcome to a case that should not have happened. Never before has a former president been impeached and put on trial, and it should never happen again. This was a show trial, an attempt by Democrats to humiliate Trump after his election defeat and force Republicans to side with him or against him. While the president’s speech before the Capitol riot was at times too angry and bitter, there was nothing in it that could reasonably be seen as intending to incite an insurrection,
It’s never going to stop, is it?
Today, Donald Trump was acquitted for a second time by the Senate after being impeached. This time, he was found not guilty of inciting the riot at the Capitol Building on January 6th. Though much hyperventilating has commenced, I believe the facts supported that decision. Trump simply didn’t meet the standard for incitement, even some low-bar political standard set forth by Congress. To have found differently would presuppose that rowdy, yet commonly used political speech (“fight like hell,” etc.) now qualifies as promoting violence. That’s not a standard I think anyone in Washington truly wants applied evenly.
