Lindell, who promised to pay the $5 million award to anyone who could debunk his data that purportedly proved election fraud, was ordered to pay the sum by a private arbitrator, who ruled that Robert Zeidman, a software expert, successfully disproved Lindell’s claims. “Based on the foregoing analysis, Mr. Zeidman performed under the contract,” the ruling said. “He proved the data Lindell LLC provided, and represented reflected information from the November 2020 election, unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data.

In settling with Dominion Voting Systems, Fox News has avoided an excruciating, drawn-out trial in which its founding chief, Rupert Murdoch, its top managers and its biggest stars would have had to face hostile grilling on an embarrassing question: Why did they allow a virulent and defamatory conspiracy theory about the 2020 election to spread across the network when so many of them knew it to be false?

(CNN)State Rep. Liz Harris was expelled Wednesday from the Arizona House of Representatives for ethics violations resulting from inviting a conspiracy theorist to publicly testify before lawmakers earlier this year. The resolution to expel the first-term Republican, elected in November, stated that she had brought "disrepute and embarrassment to the House of Representatives," resulting in "disorderly behavior." Forty-six Arizona representatives in the GOP-controlled House voted to remove her from her elected position, meeting a two-thirds threshold to expel lawmakers. Thirteen members opposed her expulsion. ..... Snip..... In February, Harris had invited Jacqueline Breger to present findings of what Breger and...

Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of Fox Corporation, once suggested that Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham could go on air and declare that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. .... Snip.... On January 5, 2021, Murdoch emailed Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott: “It’s been suggested our prime time three should independently or together say something like ‘the election is over, and Joe Biden won.'” He said that such a statement “would go a long way to stop the Trump myth that the election was stolen.” Scott then forwarded Murdoch’s suggestion to Meade Cooper, the primetime...

Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell can move forward after the Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider Lindell’s attempt to block the case. No vote count was made public. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did not take part in consideration of the case. Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages, claiming it was harmed by unfounded statements from Lindell and other allies of former President Donald Trump that Dominion rigged its machines in favor of Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Lindell has denied any wrongdoing. Lindell was appealing a lower court ruling that previously...

The new head of CNN has said he wants the network to become less of a partisan liberal outlet. In particular, Licht has called for on-air people to avoid using Democrat tropes like "the big lie." Mediaite reports: "Licht argued that using 'the big lie' makes the mistake of adopting branding used by the Democratic Party, thereby weakening the objectivity of the network." Despite Licht's supposed mandate to lean away from liberal partisanship, and to avoid using Democrat tropes, in the very first minutes of this morning's New Day, discussing yesterday's primary results, co-hosts Brianna Keilar and John Avlon parroted...

President Trump shared a triumphant post on Truth Social in response to news of the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s ruling to make absentee drop boxes illegal. “This means I won the very closely contested (not actually!) Wisconsin Presidential race because they used these corrupt and scandal-ridden Scam Boxes,” he stated. On Friday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the state’s standing statutory regulations require that absentee ballots be delivered personally to the clerk or an authorized representative of the clerk. Absentee drop boxes were found to have violated that requirement. According to the 4-3 ruling, The Gateway Pundit reported that drop...

The Left sets up an alternative reality and then creates narratives to support it. It usually involves catchy phrases like 'The Big Lie' to describe their election theft. I figure with the brilliant minds that pursue these threads we could come up with some narrative phrases of our own. That involves a few areas ripe for targeting: 1) Joe Biden stole the Presidency. He does not deserve the title of President. What then do we call him? 2) The RATs keep calling their J6 Wrap Up Smear Operation an 'Insurrection'. What should the patriotic side call it? 3) The RATs...

Former Attorney General William Barr criticized the media on Monday for pushing the "lie" that former President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election. "You decided when Robert Mueller chose not to analyze whether there was criminality on obstruction, you decided, ‘I’m attorney general, I’m going to make the decision,'" Savannah Guthrie asked Barr during an appearance on NBC's "Today" show. She said Barr "acknowledged" in his new book that he believed it was a "phony scandal" and asked why he decided to take the decision upon himself when "the whole point of the counsel was to...

Despite the Russian invasion of Ukraine continuing to escalate, President Joe Biden remains at his private estate in Delaware. Fox News reported that Biden remains at his private residence in Delaware and that the media is having difficulty making contact with the administration.

Meet Donald Trump, the constitutional scholar. The twice-impeached former president is claiming that the bipartisan effort to reform the Electoral Count Act of 1887 proves that ex-Vice President Mike Pence had the legal right to overturn the results of the 2020 election that Trump lost. “If the Vice President (Mike Pence) had “absolutely no right” to change the Presidential Election results in the Senate ... how come the Democrats and RINO Republicans are desperately trying to pass legislation that will not allow the Vice President to change the results of the election?” Trump asked. Without providing any facts or legal...

Despite a mountain of evidence showing the 2020 presidential contest wasn’t rigged against Donald Trump, nearly 6 in 10 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (57 percent) now say they will not vote in upcoming elections for any candidate who admits that Joe Biden won the presidency "fair and square." Only 17 percent say they would consider voting for a candidate who accurately characterizes Biden’s victory as legitimate. These numbers underscore the degree to which Trump’s “big lie” claiming Biden cheated his way into the White House — a falsehood that three-quarters of Trump voters (74 percent) now believe — has become...

resident Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Georgia Tuesday to push their party's bill to federalize U.S. election procedures on terms favorable to Democrats. "We are going right to the belly of the beast, or ground zero, for voter suppression, voter subversion and obstruction," senior White House official Cedric Richmond told Politico. Led by Stacey Abrams, who refused to accept the results of the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election (she lost), Democrats have used the unsupported notion of widespread voter suppression as the foundation for two bills -- the "For the People Act" in the House and the...

The two biggest misconceptions about the legacy media are “that we are lying” and that they manifest “political bias,” according to CNN’s “Reliable Sources.” The media’s bias actually benefits the people journalists are biased against, the show insisted. “The single biggest misconception is that we are lying,” guest Mara Schiavocampo told host Brian Stelter on Sunday’s episode, which tackled alleged common myths about the state of American journalism. “There is a lot of media mistrust,” she said accurately. Schiavocampo said she frequently encounters media misconceptions “when I’m at a cocktail party.” “I hear this all the time. And here’s what...

According to reports, unvaccinated citizens in Austria could face prison time for failing to comply with the Covid-19 vaccine mandate currently in place.Susanne Fürst of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), which voted against the amendment to an administrative law, warned that a year’s imprisonment could be introduced to punish the unvaccinated.The amendment raises fines for failing to comply with the mandate from €726 (£617/$818) to €2,000 (£1,701/$2,255), whilst also increasing prison time for those who refuse to pay from four weeks up to a year.Not only would Austrians who fail to comply with the vaccine mandate in February face fines...

With the global pandemic causing the huge demand for vaccines, innovations could not only eliminate the prick we feel but also improve reliability, says a researcher.The past 20 months has seen an explosion of vaccine development, with COVID-19 vaccine testing and rollout happening at an unprecedented pace in the face of a global pandemic. There have been absolute triumphs – the fact we have multiple safe, effective vaccines is remarkable – but there have also been challenges. We’ve seen storage and delivery issues, vaccine hesitancy, breakthrough infections and the beginnings of waning immunity.

Law enforcement has taken little action as backers of Donald Trump aim stark threats at election officials. Reuters tracked down nine of the harassers. Most were unrepentant.

There was no significant 2020 election fraud in Arizona's Maricopa County, partisan election reviewers again acknowledged in testimony before Congress on Thursday. The state Senate-ordered review of the county's presidential election published its findings in September, nearly 11 months after the election, and came to the same conclusion Maricopa County did: President Joe Biden won the county. "The most significant findings of the audit is that the hand count of the physical ballots very closely matches the county's official results in the presidential and U.S. Senate races," former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who served as the Senate's liaison...

Election analyst Seth Keshel discovered at least 8.1 million fraudulent votes nationwide cast for Joe Biden last November. On Monday, Keshel explained how he compared purported election results with voter registration data and demographic trends.The Intelligence analyst went on to claim the numbers in many states and counties didn’t add up. Keshel said his research has shown Trump apparently won in seven swing states including Georgia, Pennsylvania and Nevada. ***Keshel went on to say Trump also won by the number of clean votes in Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. He also asserted elections in California, New York and Virginia were mired...
