Over a week ago we reported about certain Edward Jones who wrote a Facebook post four days before the bombing in Nashville that now could create a huge cloud of controversy and a lot of conspiracy theories. So far we can’t confirm that any Dominion forensic contracts being handed out. Not sure if it makes sense AT&T would even do them or why machines would be sent to Nashville. Image of the Facebook status below: The independent citizen journalist Alexander Higgins Has reached out for comment to Edward Jones. Alexander Higgins contacted Edward Jones and he confirmed that the post...

Well, there was this little thing called a VOTER REBELLION that occurred last November. Neither party wants to take responsibility (yet) for their own shortcomings, and neither party wants to admit (yet) that it's really happening. It'll take another election or two where the voters throw the bums out before they start getting the message. It's way too early to send the success or failure of Trump's presidency to the jury, but I'm still happy. He already saved the nation from complete collapse under either Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton, the two uni-party favorites. The establishment elites from both parties...

Writing at the Washington Post, Margaret Sullivan bemoans the fact that conservatives have flipped the meaning of “fake news” from a term used by the mainstream media to attack stories that are troublesome for progressives to a label to call out the media’s false narratives:

“President-Elect Trump’s appointment of Scott Pruitt is a breath of fresh air. No longer do we have to suffer under President Obama’s ridiculous EPA ‘climate’ regulations. It is also refreshing that a Republican President is not throwing the EPA over to the green activists and the media by appointing a weak administrator. Christine Todd Whitman he is not!

Today, I offer a flashback to a post I published one year ago today which offered 10 Reasons Not to Elect Barack Obama president of the United States. Was I right?

Remeber all the moaning from the Democrats. Remember all their promises to make it right. Now is their chance. Just watch what their prioritys are. I could say I told you so but I won't.

Florida Gov. Jeb Bush says he is "not ruling in or out" running for president or vice president in 2008. "I don't know what the future holds for me," Bush told NewsMax as he leaves office this month after eight years as governor. "To be honest with you, the only job in public life that I've been interested in over the last 15 years has been to be governor. It's been my dream come true. I guess it's hard for people to appreciate, but I've never viewed it as a stepping stone to anything else." Bush said he would feel...

Moshe Yaalon says during Herzliya Conference Israel failed to create effective, reliable deterrence against rocket attacks; ‘Arabs’ refusal to recognize Israel is source of all violence directed against it from dawn of Zionism to this day,’ he adds Former IDF chief of Staff Moshe Yaalon said Monday that Gaza has turned into “Hamastan, Hizbullahstan and al-Qaedastan” following Israel’s withdrawal from the area last summer. Speaking at the Herzliya Conference on the Balance of Israel’s National Security, Yaalon said Israel easily gave up on principles such as border supervision and demilitarization. The former IDF head said Israel failed to create effective...

When Benedict was elected pope, a new word was instantly coined on the Internet by Catholics delighted over his election: Ratzenfreude. Unreality on the Right and the Left I must confess I indulged in a bit of Ratzenfreude myself. It was hard not to as the Usual Suspects in the Media shrieked that he was a Nazi and emitted the usual blah blah about our need to remain faithful to the teachings of the Third Vatican Council which will soon make abortion a sacrament and guarantee God's blessing on whatever it is Americans want to do with our groins today....

I predicted it. I told you those expected to oppose the nomination of John Roberts to the U.S. Supreme Court would come around after realizing they got their wish – another Anthony Kennedy or David Souter. It's happening. Just check out the column earlier this week by the Washington Post's Richard Cohen. This is the beginning. Soon you will see some of the most partisan Democrats in the U.S. Senate coming around. Mark my words. Cohen's commentary is not directed to Republicans in the Senate, who will support the nomination by President Bush unanimously. It is directed to those who...

No country lasts forever. That’s an inarguable fact. History reveals three primary reasons why countries fall, governments change and ways of life vanish. The Taliban, Saddam, Nazis and many other governments fell because of war with other nations. Revolutions brought on by internal strife, an insurgency, social unrest and disillusionment, reduced respect and admiration of the nation’s military (note that the Marines and Army are finding it very difficult and sometimes impossible to meet their recruiting goals), loss or reduction of social values and norms, and political extremism bring down some governments. Examples include Iran in 1979, France in the...

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip - Palestinian policemen, who have been given the task of restraining militants, say they can't or won't do the job. Interviewed at their front-line positions, some say they feel sympathy for the gunmen, while others fear getting shot at by Israeli troops. The shortcomings of Palestinian police were evident last week when officers stood by as Hamas militants fired dozens of rockets and mortar rounds at Jewish settlements in Gaza. Officers also did nothing when gunmen broke into Gaza's central jail, killing two inmates and abducting a third who was later slain. "This is all part...

Let's pick up where I left off: It is highly unlikely that I will be voting Republican for president in 2008, no matter what happens in Iraq. But my suggestion to the contrary was the only statement made in Tuesday's column, "What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?", that I didn't sincerely mean. I feel the need to offer that clarification because those who read this space regularly are familiar with my tendency toward sarcasm, but Tuesday's column reached a whole other level of readers out there in cyberspace who have never seen a Mark Brown column...

Having said what we think’s wrong with the war in Iraq and having made known our disagreement with American policy, the only real question for Canadians and for the rest of the world is “Now what?”In my view, there are only two options. One, we can sit by and let America  go its own way. We can let Iraq suffer, we can let the whole damn thing noisily go to hell in a hand basket. There seems to be a frantic debate in America about that right now, some say to hell with you, their administration seeks our assistance. Here...

Al Franken just gave a surprisingly candid list of Kerry's mistakes : Global Test, turning over our defense to UN, France Health Care program was a bloated nightmare Admitted Kerry lied about his purple hearts, were self inflicted wounds, and throwing his medals away "Banning the Bible" [I don't remember this??]

i am not a democrat or republican. i am saying right now that Bush will lose in November. i'll be back after the election to say i told you so.

SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger hinted that raising taxes may be unavoidable, acknowledging he is under extreme pressure to increase the state's revenue to offset a $14 billion budget shortfall. Schwarzenegger, who has opposed new taxes, said on Tuesday it would be "wishful thinking" to assume the state would not increase taxes. "I'm going through wishful thinking that I'll never have to go there," Schwarzenegger said. "Because I just don't like it. I try to work around and find ways so we don't have to do that. So that's the stage I'm in right now." He said increasing taxes...

Chinese Superpower Space Project China has joined an elite club of world powers with its launch of the manned Shenzhou spacecraft – code-named Project 921. However, the Chinese manned space program is neither a civilian effort nor peaceful. The Chinese manned space program is under the complete and direct control of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The Shenzhou missions are part of an overall space program under the personal command of PLA general Li Jinai. Gen. Li is a senior member of the Central Military Commission and head of the General Armaments Department of the PLA. Li was trained in...

Another loser enters the race. If at first you run a crappy campaign, try, try again.

Bill Simon must be stopped. He is heading towards losing TWO election for Republicans in California. Simon needs to be convinced by any means neccessary to drop out and put his support behind Tom McClintock. California FReepers must organize to get the message to him. Put up signs in front of his home, direct confrontation, action committes and networks, whatever it takes. California cannot afford to have Bill Simon blow yet another election. We have put too much work into making this recall happen, and its Simon's fault in the first place. He is obviously too stupid to get a...
