Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock will defeat Republican challenger Herschel Walker in Georgia's high stakes Senate runoff election, The Associated Press projects.While the Senate majority has already been decided, Warnock's victory in the last ballot box showdown of the 2022 midterm elections gives the Democrats a 51-49 margin in the chamber and a bit of breathing room in their razor-thin control of the Senate. "Thank you, Georgia. We did it again," Warnock tweeted soon after his victory was projected.

Did anyone expect a different outcome? I mean, come on. First of all, Herschel was a great football player/athlete. Otherwise, what were his qualifications for office? And a closet full of skeletons. Not the best candidate. Secondly, Georgia elections are rigged. Good candidate or bad, Herschel was never going to win. Welcome to hell.

Thought judge said ballots could be counted 3 days after election. So we’re all those drop box ballots counted? Or just not needed by the Dems. Republicans never learn. Shoujd have stuffed those boxes weeks before the election.

Sorry Herschel. You deserved better than the Republican party that refused to be completely committed to your campaign. Btw, where do all the Walker supporters now go for representation at the national level? Certainly not Warnock. In other words, they have no representation.

Walker was never a viable candidate for the Senate. All he brought to the table was his name recognition and his skin color. The Republicans suck at retail politics.

Dems outspent Republicans by something like 3X or 4X in this runoff and in the prior election in November. Mitch McConnell and the RNC have to answer for that. The seat was there for the taking, but they were unwilling to go "all in" for Walker. Shameful.

A half million fewer voters voted in the run off than voted in the general election. Walker got about 200,000 votes less than he got in November. Warnock got about 100,000 fewer votes than in November. Walker lost because Republicans didn't turn out. Had Walker gotten as many votes as he did in November, he would be senator elect right now. Warnock didn't steal the election. Republicans didn't turn out. Period, full stop.

RE Reply 2: "...what were his qualifications for office?" Good Lord, I am so bloody tired of that phrase. Article 1, Section 3 of the Constitution clearly states the "qualifications" of a U. S. Senator: "No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen." That's it, kiddies. That's it and that's all. There are NO other qualifications to be a Senator. Period. Full stop. Herschel Walker: Age of thirty years? He is Sixty years old? Check. Nine Years a Citizen of the United States? Sixty years a citizen. Check. ...when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen? Born, raised and long time resident of the State of Georgia. Check. So, Mr. Walker most assuredly fulfills the Constitutional qualifications to be a Senator. Ooooh, now I get it! He is not qualified to be a Senator because of his lack of "experience in politics". In other words, he did not spend his entire life dragging on the government teat while rabidly seeking stolen wealth and illegitimate power over other people's lives. Mr. Walker actually held real jobs in the real world. Patriotic Citizens of the United States (and I am certain in other countries, as well) have had quite enough of people who meet the qualification of "experience". Paragons of good government such as Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Et al. People who spent their entire lives shoving their filthy snouts deeper and deeper into the taxpayer's trough. Those types should not be reelected; they should be arrested, indicted, tried, convicted and sentenced in a court of law to long prison terms or perhaps something more "severe". In my somewhat less than humble opinion, the greatest president in my lifetime had ZERO experience in politics. If you disagree, I cannot begin to tell you how little I care. That is all.

#14, go change your diaper. You may not need any qualifications, but I for one would at least have some idea of how they might vote. Not how they say they might vote. And as for your rant about "pigs in the trough", you don't have to be up in that cesspool long to get rich. See Warnock and AOC as prime examples. And if you think Trump is not controlled by the same globalist bankers as all of the other scum in DC, you better wake up.

A member of a Boston suburb's Human Rights Commission resigned after posting a profanity-laden post to Facebook last week that mocked God and cursed her fellow citizens amid controversy regarding a local library's Christmas trees. The town of Dedham, Massachusetts, about 30 miles southwest of Boston, drew national attention after Lisa Desmond, manager of the local Endicott Branch Library, wrote on Facebook earlier this month that its annual Christmas tree display had apparently been canceled to prevent offending people. "I have never posted a negative post on Facebook," Desmond wrote on Dec. 2. "That is, until now. I found out today that my beautiful library will not have [its] Christmas tree

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban maintains close relations with Russia and seems to be turning a blind eye to the presence of Russian agents in Hungary. In late November 2022, Ukrainian special forces arrested a suspected Russian agent at the Ukraine–Hungary border. The man had been attempting to smuggle secret information into EU member state Hungary on a flash drive that he had allegedly concealed in his an*s. The flash drive contained stolen personal information about senior figures and staff at the Ukrainian domestic secret service SBU and the Ukrainian military intelligence service GUR, as well as sensitive data on Ukrainian army bases, weapons and logistics.

"According to our findings, the association has set itself the goal of eliminating the existing state order in Germany, the free democratic basic order, using violence and military means." This is how Attorney General Peter Frank described the reasons that led to a major raid this week against supporters of the so-called ReichsbĂźrger movement.

We don’t make exceptions for jokes or satire.” That line from a third tranche of company documents released by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, captures the social media giant’s censorship culture. Its humorless, officious tenor is all too common with state censors throughout history. Censorship creates an insatiable appetite for more censorship, where even jokes become intolerable. These latest Twitter files shatter past denials of “shadow banning” and other suppression techniques targeting disfavored viewpoints. That includes denials by former CEO Jack Dorsey under oath before Congress and public denials by top corporate executives. The legal ramifications will become clearer as more information emerges.

Democrats spanning the nation condemned the acquisition, claiming that it was “dangerous” for America. Now, we’re starting to figure out why. After the release of the “Twitter Files” last week, which documented the censorship of the accurate New York Post report about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election, the left is panicking.

Elon Musk’s release of the "Twitter Files," showing behind the scenes efforts to suppress the New York Post’s bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story didn’t just break news, it was also an attempt to break the legacy media’s grip on news itself. Instead of appearing on 60 minutes, as most CEO’s would, or giving the internal materials to the New York Times or Washington Post, Musk handed the story to independent journalists Matt Taiibi and Bari Weiss and then broke the story on his own platform. Not only that, he teased the release to create a kind of appointment viewing for the document dump.

“1984” author George Orwell warned that “if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” That line has never been more relevant than in the aftermath of the second release of Twitter documents this week. Many liberals had denied the social-media giant was engaging in censorship by using the more pleasant term “content modification.” Now, documents show Twitter executives burying “disfavored” views as “visibility filtering” and “amplification” limits. Calling executives the “Head of Legal, Policy, and Trust” (Vijaya Gadde) and the “Global Head of Trust & Safety” (Yoel Roth) doesn’t alter their status as some of the greatest censors in history.

The second installment of Elon Musk's so-called "Twitter Files" shed light on the company's practices of secretly "blacklisting" certain tweets and users. "A new #TwitterFiles investigation reveals that teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users," journalist Bari Weiss began her thread on Thursday. "Twitter once had a mission ‘to give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers.’ Along the way, barriers nevertheless were erected," Weiss wrote.

3 Unsexy Reasons Warnock Beat Walker In
The Georgia Runoff

The Georgia runoff is over. Raphael Warnock came out on top (as expected). And Republicans are once again running the “quality candidate” canard as the reason for Herschel Walker’s loss (in addition to the overblown, overused, Trump scapegoat). Yet despite the fact Walker was outspent by Warnock nearly 3 to 1 (Warnock spent $126,232,942 to Walker’s $48,455,356), Walker performed remarkably well, netting 48.6 percent of the vote to Warnock’s 51.4 percent. This as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp only came out in full force for Walker after he coasted to reelection in November (loaning his field organizing team to the Senate Leadership Fund — the GOP’s Senate super PAC which backed Walker).
