WATCH: Liberals Are Probably Fuming Over These Seven Words Trump Uttered in Rejecting COVID Bill; Trump Demands Congress Add $2000 Direct Payments To Bill

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Trump was not happy with the amount in the relief checks. He wants a bill with $2,000 payments and has threatened a veto. Yes, I like the veto threat, but it’s probably a symbolic gesture. Trump could whip out the pen, but these current spending and relief bills passed with veto-proof majorities. Should this happen, it will be overridden. I don’t know. I’m not a big fan of harping on moral or symbolic victories. Yet, in his video address regarding these bills, Trump brought the 2020 election into focus, warning that the next administration will have to handle COVID relief, and that administration might be him.

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired exclusively obtained police bodycam footage on Tuesday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” of Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock and his then-wife speaking to police after a domestic dispute in March.

Warnock’s then-wife, Ouleye Ndoye, appears to tell police that her husband is “a great actor” who is “phenomenal at putting on a really good show” after he denied purposefully running over her foot.

The pastor and Democratic U.S. Senate candidate was not charged with a crime after police found no damage to his wife’s foot. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported on the incident in March as Warnock was just beginning his Senate campaign.

In the video, Warnock denies running over Ndoye’s foot and tells police that disputes between them have escalated as they were at the time in the process of getting a divorce, Fox News reported.

A Shocking Amount of Americans Think the 2020 Election Was Stolen in Some Way

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .A new poll from Rasmussen showed that roughly half the country thinks the election was stolen from Trump in some way. Even with the Trump campaign being unable to successfully argue mass fraud in the courts based on what they thought was solid evidence, half the country still thinks there was fraud (via Rasmussen):

Most voters say this year’s unprecedented level of mail-in voting was largely successful and continue to think President Trump should concede the presidential race. Republicans, however, strongly believe Democrats are likely to have stolen the election.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that [f]orty-seven percent (47%) say it’s likely that Democrats stole voters or destroyed pro-Trump ballots in several states to ensure that Joe Biden would win.

[…]

Sixty-two percent (62%) of Republicans say it’s Very Likely the Democrats stole the election, a view shared by 17% of Democrats and 28% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

Alleged White Supremacist Plot To Attack U.S. Power Stations Revealed

/0 Comments/in , /by

An alleged plot by white supremacists to attack power stations in the southeastern US next summer was brought to light on Tuesday.

The scheme was detailed in an FBI affidavit mistakenly unsealed last week, The Associated Press reported.

The documents were originally filed under seal, along with a search warrant, in Wisconsin federal court in March, according to the AP.

They alleged that an Ohio teenager with a fondness for Nazi flags discussed the plan — which he dubbed “Light’s Out” — with a small group of people over text in the fall of 2019.

The then-17-year-old said he wanted to create a power outage by shooting rifle rounds into power stations, and there were plans to carry it out next summer, the affidavit states. (Read more from “Alleged White Supremacist Plot To Attack U.S. Power Stations Revealed” HERE)

Americans bought a record number of firearms in 2020 amid a year that challenged our conventional wisdom about civil liberties, showed us the delicate balance between law and order and even strained the country’s supply chains. . .

More U.S. Lawmakers Join Electoral College Challenge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Joining about a dozen Republican colleagues who pledge to challenge Electoral College votes on Jan. 6, a Texas congressman has formally asked his state’s two U.S. senators to join him.

Republican Rep. Lance Gooden said in a letter Tuesday to Republican Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn: “I intend to object to the certification of the Electoral College vote submissions on January 6th, and I respectfully ask you to stand with me,” the Epoch Times reported.

A challenge to any state’s Electoral College votes submitted to Congress for certification requires at least one House representative and one senator to object. The House and Senate then would each vote on the challenge. A majority of both chambers would be required to reject a state’s votes. If both Biden and Trump lacked the required 270 electoral votes, the House would choose the president, with one vote for each state delegation, and the Senate the vice president.

“We must stand up for the tens of millions of Americans who want answers to the irregularities surrounding this election,” Gooden wrote. “It is our duty to ensure the integrity of our election is unwavering, and the American people deserve to feel confident their vote matters.”

Gooden called for “a full audit of every ballot in states like Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania,” where there have been “widespread reports” of fraud and irregularities. (Read more from “More U.S. Lawmakers Join Electoral College Challenge” HERE)

Flight from the Cities: Supply of Existing Homes for Sale Hits Record Low

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sales of previously owned U.S. homes fell in November as supply fell to a record low and prices continued to climb.

Existing-home sales fell 2.5 percent in November from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.69 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. But even with the decline, sales are up a massive 25.8 percent compared with a year ago.

This was the highest sales rate for November since 2005.

The push for big-city residents to buy homes away from dense urban centers has created a severe shortage of houses on the market. Total housing inventory declined from the prior month and one year ago to 1.28 million, enough to last 2.3 months at the current sales pace – both record-low figures. That represents a 22 percent decline compared with a year ago.

“Housing affordability, which had greatly benefitted from falling mortgage rates, are now being challenged due to record-high home prices,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “That could place strain on some potential consumers, particularly first-time buyers.” (Read more from “Flight from the Cities: Supply of Existing Homes for Sale Hits Record Low” HERE)

How the GOP Plans to Challenge the Election Results; Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Townhall. President Donald Trump on Monday met with a handful of Republican members of Congress about how to move forward with challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows tweeted after the meeting saying the group is “preparing to fight back against mounting evidence of voter fraud.”

. . .According to Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), a number of Republican legislators have questions about voting irregularities that took place.

“I believe we have multiple senators and the question is not if but how many,” Brooks told CNN.

One of Brooks’ goals is to challenge election results in a minimum of six battleground states, although there’s a potential for more. He is also hoping to get 72 lawmakers – between both chambers – to make five minute speeches, something he dubs “a significant task.” (Read more from “How the GOP Plans To Challenge the Election Results” HERE)

Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania

By WND. President Trump on Monday announced “big news” is coming from Pennsylvania after his legal time filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in a case challenging the outcome of the 2020 election.

“Big news coming out of Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Very big illegal ballot drop that cannot be accounted for. Rigged Election!” . . .

At a public hearing held by Pennsylvania lawmakers and President Trump’s campaign on Nov. 25, a witness drew gasps when he described “spikes” in the vote count the evening of the election in which Joe Biden gained 570,000 votes to the president’s 3,200.

Meanwhile, a U.S. Postal Service contractor, Jesse Morgan, has claimed his trailer full of from 144,000 to 288,000 completed mail-in ballots disappeared after he delivered them from New York state to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, depot.

The overnight spikes in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh reported at the November hearing came after Trump held a lead of some 700,000 votes. The official count ended with a Biden lead of some 80,000. (Read more from “Trump Teases ‘Big News’ From Pennsylvania” HERE)

Former Judge: Court System ‘Deeply Intimidated’ by the Left

/0 Comments/in , /by

A former judge from Wisconsin, who is now representing the Trump campaign in the state, told lawmakers that he believes intimidation by the left has prevented lawyers and judges from accepting and hearing election fraud cases.

“We have to acknowledge that the court system has been deeply intimidated by the left, just as the lawyers have been intimidated,” James Troupis told the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Dec. 16. “And that’s a sad, sad state of affairs.”

The committee was conducting a hearing to explore voting “irregularities” from the 2020 general election. During the hearing, witnesses testified about a litany of alleged instances of election fraud occurring in multiple contested states.

Their claims are backed up by mounting evidence from witnesses, whistleblowers, and data experts that have emerged in recent weeks, alleging that a proportion of ballots cast and counted in these battleground states were done so under irregular and fraudulent circumstances. Much of the evidence was presented through affidavits in the lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign or third parties, and through state legislature hearings hosted by Republicans.

During the Senate hearing, Troupis, one of the witnesses, explained why he decided to represent the campaign in its effort to challenge election results when many lawyers refused. He said that he believes many prominent law firms didn’t want to participate in the lawsuits because of fear of retaliation by the left.
