In the crucial Georgia Senate runoff races, Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are using President Donald Trump’s latest push for larger stimulus checks to bash incumbent GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. In video posted Tuesday night, Trump called the $900 billion Covid relief bill passed by Congress an unsuitable “disgrace” and urged lawmakers to make a number of changes, including increasing the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000. The two Democratic Senate candidates, who have advocated for larger direct payments, wasted no time in responding to Trump’s move and criticizing their opponents..........."

Jon Ossoff, the Democrat challenging Republican Sen. David Perdue for U.S. Senate in Georgia, is reportedly declining to provide details behind his film company’s financial position, and he has not released his tax returns or made public the sum of his inheritance. Ossoff, who is CEO of Insight TWI, a company that produces investigative video, reported his company value between $1 million and $5 million on his latest Senate financial disclosure form. The same form estimates Ossoff’s net worth between $2.3 million and $8.8 million, which includes the value of the company. Ossoff, however, according to a recent Washington Post...

It would be problematic that Jon Ossoff took money from China and al-Jazeera under any circumstances. The al-Jazeera issue speaks for itself; how can we trust a politician to run the war on terror if he is indebted to the people who defend terrorists like bin Laden? The China issue, however, is far worse. We have seen, in recent months, the extent to which China has bought off the Democrats and Never Trumpers. General Mattis has financial ties to China. Joe and Hunter Biden, as the Hunter Biden emails show, are owned by China. Eric Swalwell was sleeping with and...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said during a virtual Sojourner Truth Project event last week that ousting Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) will give them significant power to pass legislation because they can pass bills with a simple majority in the Senate using reconciliation. Pelosi spoke virtually at the Sojourner Truth Project on December 22 via Zoom. During the event, she discussed how Georgia Senate Democrat candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock’s potential victories would give Democrats significant power to pass legislation in Congress. She compared their Democrats’ potential power to having essentially 60 votes in the...

Despite being a crusader for transparency on the campaign trail, Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff is refusing to disclose information about his personal finances and investments, according to a new report. The 33-year-old is challenging GOP Sen. David Perdue in one of two crucial Peach State races that will decide whether Joe Biden has control of the upper chamber of Congress or will be forced to negotiate with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). On the campaign trail, Ossoff touts himself as a crusader against corruption who has produced hard-hitting documentaries on fraud in countries like Ghana through his...

Jon Ossoff “may be a security risk,” according to Sen-elect Bill Hagerty (R-TENN). Hagerty, former US Ambassador to Japan, told Breitbart he made the assessment after learning Ossoff's film company made money off a company tied to the CCP. He is “certainly not an acceptable choice for senator.” In a July financial disclosure, Ossoff admitted that his 2013 investment in Insight TWI, made more than $5,000 in two years from the Hong Kong-based telecoms firm PCCW, a subsidiary of China Unicom, w/ close ties to the CCP. “China has proven it will brazenly leverage any relationship to gain influence in...

One of the nation’s more accurate pollsters is bullish on Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s chances to win her runoff race against Raphael Warnock but less confident that Sen. David Perdue will best Jon Ossoff. “We see the Warnock-Loeffler race as one that will be less close. We feel more confident that Loeffler is going to probably prevail,” Robert Cahaly, the chief pollster for the Trafalgar Group, told the Washington Examiner. “We feel more confident that the other one is going to be closer.” Trafalgar’s most recent polls in Georgia show two different races developing, with Loeffler leading Warnock by almost 7...

Georgia Senate Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff has a few words for anyone wondering about where he got all of his money and the finances of his film production company. That’s none of your business. This beacon of transparency who would like to replace Republican David Perdue in the upper chamber has faced questions recently about payments made to Insight TWI, his movie company, from Asian interests with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. After initially fessing up to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about one payment that somehow failed to show up on his initial campaign finance filing, reporters sought more information....

The Senate and House will meet in a joint session on Jan. 6, a day the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg labeled the date of “ultimate significance” in our electoral process, to count the recently cast electoral votes.

Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is scheduled to travel to Georgia on Monday to take part in campaign events for Democrat U.S. Senate candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. The trip was announced Friday by the Biden-Harris transition team, which stated that Harris, who has been ranked the most liberal senator, will appear at rallies in Columbus and Suwanee. Harris’s scheduled trip to Georgia comes on the heels of President-elect Joe Biden’s visit earlier this week to Atlanta, Georgia, where he pleaded with residents in the state to vote for Warnock and Ossoff. “It’s time to stand up, take back our...

A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO STOP THE SENATE STEAL IN GEORGIAThis challenge concerns a very nebulous statement by the United States Supreme Court, as to whether “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote for federal Senate seats. The Supreme Court specifically dodged this issue in 2013, and it’s time a Georgia litigant brought it back to them, and fast. If a federal court were to hold that “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote, then, according to Georgia law, only voters who were registered to vote in the general election this past November could vote in the runoffs. The Seventeenth Amendment...

Progressives leaders and groups such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and the Working Families Party have poured millions into the Georgia Senate runoffs, believing that the advancement of their leftist agenda hinges on the election of Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Politico reported Saturday that progressives have declared a cease-fire with more moderate Democrats to focus on taking the Senate majority. “If Democrats don’t take back control of the Senate, much of the progressive agenda is doomed,” Politico wrote.

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff’s plan to ban semiautomatic rifles is reminiscent of Robert “Beto” O’Rourke’s not-so-distant pledge to take away Americans’ AR-15s. It was during the 2019 Democrat presidential primary when O’Rourke said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” O’Rourke bobbed and weaved for weeks when questioned about the confiscatory pledge. Then, in typical Democrat fashion, tried to paint police enforcement of a ban on AR-15 ownership as something other than confiscation. On October 16, 2019, he told MSBNC’s Morning Joe that police would go to homes to “recover” the rifles from the non-compliant once...

GA law states that a runoff election is a continuation of a primary election; therefore only persons who voted in the primary can vote in the runoff less than a month from now. I contend that the knowledge exists to state the maximum number of votes possible in the coming runoff. All the Secty of State has to do is report the names of the voters from their vote history of who voted in the primary. From that list you delete the voters with address changes out-of-state. Clearly anyone recently registered is double-checked not to be on the runoff list...

The survey of 1,018 likely voters, taken December 8-10, found incumbent Sen. David Perdue (R) down slightly to Democrat challenger Jon Ossoff, 49.1 percent to 48.8 percent. Just 2.1 percent of respondents were undecided. Meanwhile, in the special election, incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler is ahead of far-left Democrat Raphael Warnock, 50.4 percent to 47.3 percent. The poll found 2.3 percent of voters undecided.

After Axios reported on Tuesday that a Chinese spy had been romantically involved with Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff is coming under fire after allegedly hiding his own ties to a pro-Chinese Communist Party (CCP) media company. Georgia GOP officials had filed a complaint accusing Ossoff of knowingly failing to disclose payments from a pro-CCP media company, PCCW Media Limited, in his May 2020 campaign financial disclosure. Ossoff amended the filing in July to reflect receiving the payments. The spy at the center of the Swalwell scandal,...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff (GA) is endorsed by Giffords, the Gabby Giffords-founded gun control group focused on firearm laws and legislation. Ossoff is headed toward a January 5, 2021, runoff election against incumbent Sen. David Perdue (R-GA). And whereas Perdue is pro-Second Amendment, anti-gun control, Ossoff wants to ban the sales of semiautomatic rifles and magazines Democrats deem “high capacity.” Moreover, he wants to institute red flag laws, universal background checks for gun purchases, place more restrictions on gun shows, and license that semiautomatic rifles and handguns that are already privately owned. The NRA endorsed Perdue, seeing him as...

As Georgia Democrat Jon Ossoff’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Al Jazeera continue to haunt his Senate campaign, a fact-checker claimed that an ad from an outside GOP group highlighting those ties is “misleading.” The ad points to Ossoff’s business ties to both PCCW, a media company partially owned by the CCP, and Al Jazeera, which has been deemed a “mouthpiece for terrorists.” Ossoff’s business dealings with Al Jazeera also caused trouble for his 2017 congressional bid. The ad also points out Ossoff’s initial failure to disclose these ties in his filings with the Federal Election Commission...

Democrat Senate candidate Jon Ossoff (GA) is endorsed by the Mike Bloomberg-founded gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety. Everytown originally announced its endorsement of Ossoff on September 15, 2020, then re-announced it following the development of a January 5, 2021, runoff between Ossoff and pro-Second Amendment Senator David Perdue (R-GA). On November 8, 2020, Everytown posted their announcement of support for Ossoff in the runoff, making clear their backing includes the support of Bloomberg gun control subsidiary, Moms Demand Action for Gun Safety. Everytown’s John Feinblatt said, “David Perdue…[has] declared fealty to the gun lobby and opposed bipartisan gun...
