In another unhinged moment, former president Donald Trump vowed to supporters that he would trigger a "landslide" on election day. Being the movement downslope of a mass of earth and rock, landslides have been known to kill people and cause massive property damage to communities around the country every year. This is the first time a former president has threatened to trigger one on election day if the election doesn't go the way he thinks it should. "Landslides kill 25-50 people in the United States every year on average either from falling rocks, debris flows, or collapsing buildings," said a...

A Target superstore in West Virginia has shut down after a slipping hillside caused it collapse, tearing off one corner of the building. Shocking video shows a giant crack in the corner of the store in Barboursville where the ground beneath has given way, causing it to fall free. The store closed on February 2 when the hill first slipped, and then when it slipped even further on Wednesday, the store was forced to shut its doors indefinitely. It's not yet known what caused the slippage, but three families were evacuated from homes behind the Target, with the shopping chain...

“… in 1966, a political revolution emerged in America that would have a massive impact on millions of families and marriages. The man behind it was President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who reached the White House amid a national tragedy but grabbed the reins of power quickly and purposefully, bent on transforming the country.

Poor Lee Zeldin. If only he would have run for governor in a state that still has free and fair elections. The Republican candidate was leading in several polls on election day in New York State but lost to hapless Kathy Hochul, a complete imbecile. Now New York State can continue its death spiral of crime, violence, socialism, and oppressive regulations. Lee Zeldin helped elevate Republican candidates in the state. Lee Zeldin probably helped save the House by bringing four new Republican congressmen-elect across the finish line. We owe him a lot.

Friday on HBO’s “Real Time,” liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore defied conventional wisdom and predicted a “landslide” victory for Democrats in November’s midterm election. Moore based his prognostication on Republican skepticism of the 2020 presidential election and said voters would show their disapproval of that skepticism at the ballot box. “There are so many signs of this that I think, I honestly think, if we all do our work and we all get people to get out there, and we get out there ourselves,” Moore said. “I think we can throw out a huge number of these Republican traitors in...

Thursday afternoon, Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell detailed foreign corruption behind Dominion Voting Systems, the same software used during the 2020 presidential election in the United States.

We told you yesterday about the 2631 votes being “discovered” in Floyd County that hadn’t been tabulated into the vote count because of an alleged scanner problem and then it just was not counted. Most were for President Donald Trump, which gave him about an 800 vote pick up in Georgia. This was after folks on the left said this kind of thing could never happen and you don’t pick up that number of votes in a recount, that all of this wouldn’t show anything. Well, guess what? It just happened again, in another county. Oh, my, can we say...

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump5mThe recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud - including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, “glitches” in the voting machines which changed......votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more. Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. 8:07 PM · Nov 17, 2020·Twitter for iPhone

Well, this drip drip drip is showing there is a problem with how the counties collect and count votes and will need to be corrected sooner rather than later. However, will it be corrected soon enough to help the President retain the White House this year is still yet to be shown? President Trump on Monday hailed a “Big Victory” in the election results of a Clark County Commissioner race being thrown out by the election commission in Nevada’s largest county. The results do NOT include any other race in this district including the Presdital race but do show irregularities...
