Glenn Beck rips CNN for finally acknowledging the Hunter Biden scandal AFTER the election
[The Blaze] If you've been listening to the Glenn Beck Radio Program over the past year, you already know about Hunter Biden's alleged business dealings in China while his father Joe Biden was vice president. You also know that Hunter Biden's alleged laptop appeared to contain even more proof that something fishy was going on. But if you watched the mainstream media, you were told it was all a conspiracy theory, or Russian disinformation, or a smear tactic to benefit President Donald Trump.

Now reports have dropped that Hunter Biden's taxes have been under investigation since 2018 and CNN even acknowledged on Wednesday that Hunter's business dealings in China are front-and-center.

On the radio program Thursday, Glenn Beck ripped into CNN and other mainstream media for waiting to aknowledge the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden until after the presidential election.

Watch the video below to hear more from Glenn:

Senator Dianne Feinstein ‘seriously struggling' with cognitive decline: report
[New York Post] WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the oldest member of the Senate at age 87 and the most senior Democrat on its powerful Judiciary Committee, is "seriously struggling" with cognitive decline, a new report says.

People familiar with the California lawmaker’s situation told the New Yorker on Wednesday that Feinstein’s short-term memory has grown so poor that she "often forgets she has been briefed on a topic, accusing her staff of failing to do so just after they have."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has had several "painful" discussions with Feinstein about stepping aside, but the octogenarian reportedly soon forgets about their talks, forcing Schumer to confront her again, one source said.

"It was like Groundhog Day, but with the pain fresh each time," the source said.

Overtures were also reportedly made to Feinstein’s billionaire husband, Richard C. Blum.

Former Special Forces Officer Warns of Color Revolution Tactics Used Against Trump
[ET] Color revolution tactics that have been used against foreign leaders are now being used by President Donald Trump’s opponents to oust him, a former special forces officer has warned.

"A color revolution is a tactic to affect regime change," the officer, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Epoch Times. "What I see happening is a Marxist insurgency that’s using a color revolution to affect regime change."

The 2019 Transition Integrity Project, according to the officer, is an indicator that the events of this year’s presidential election were "transparently orchestrated" by "Marxist elements within the Democratic Party and their Marxist allies in foreign governments."

"It may not have fallen out just as they wanted, because anytime you carry out an operation like this, the enemy will get a vote. But the plan was we will not concede the election. The goal here was never the presidency," the officer said. "The goal of the opposition was to fundamentally change the country. They are attacking the efficacy of the Constitution."

To achieve their goal, the anti-Trump opposition focused their main effort on affecting the election, the officer said.

Some of the most notable color revolutions took place amid turmoil sparked by disputed elections. In 2004, mass protests in Ukraine following allegations of a fraudulent presidential election, which initially showed pro-Russia Viktor Yanukovych as the winner, led to a new vote won by Viktor Yushchenko, the candidate backed by the European Union and the United States.

The officer said the tactics used by the anti-Trump opposition can be found in the Special Forces’ guide for overthrowing a government.

"What you’re getting from me, this is supported in all older unconventional warfare doctrines," the officer said. "You could go to our manuals and pull from them the information I’m telling you. This isn’t from someone who’s a rabid Trump supporter. This is what’s happening."

The officer then talked about how President Barack Obama used his eight years in office to "seed his political allies all through the institutions," created an "underground" or "shadow government" supported by legacy media and rioters.

"With the president being unable to get his own people into the administration, we effectively had a third administration of Obama," the officer said. "So we come to what we have today: The underground are the elements within the government. We saw how they opposed the president, how they tried the impeachment."

"The press is the auxiliary on the outside. The only thing we’re missing is a real guerrilla force, and we would be mistaken to think that’s just Antifa or Black Lives Matter. There are professional revolutionaries within those movements."

#8  I have to say; to theorize in hindsight is easy.

What about the markers of a complete putsch that we can see now, even from oceans away? A re-configuration of race, class and industrial relations into something resembling a banana republic, with China flunkies as leaders. We've seen it done to lesser nations, shitholes with shanties, so the scale is difficult to imagine, but superimpose the model on what's happening. But so called 'lesser evolved' societies have one right which no amount of western theories of legalist propriety have been able to strip them of. They don't capitulate, they fight tooth and nail first.

At what time does the counter-revolution start? Can it start? Who will it hit, with all the 'you can't kill this guy or that girl or this thing'? Are the targets even identified, the 'trained marxists' who coordinate and mobilize? Or will people stop short of waving their fists in faces and stomping around, still trusting in constitutionalism. What was that about the 'tree of liberty... the blood of...'? The less and less liberty in a polity, even to the point of having to hide your affiliations to be safe, means there's just not enough blood flowing.

Forgive me for my ugly questions, you can say 'What's it got to do wit' you?'; but somebody must ask them.

Georgia Republicans fired up for Senate runoff despite 'rigged' election fears
VALDOSTA, Ga. (Reuters) - Convinced that the presidential election had been stolen from Donald Trump, the young couple from Blairsville, Georgia at first resolved to skip the state’s Jan. 5 runoffs for two U.S. Senate seats. What’s the point, they figured, of voting in another rigged election?

Is Our Second Civil War -- also a 'Forever War'?
[Townhall] When the Electoral College meets Monday, it will almost surely certify former Vice President Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States. And he will take the oath of office Jan. 20.

There is, nationally, a growing if grudging realization of that reality.

Yet millions of Americans will refuse to accept the legitimacy of that election and its outcome and will continue to believe, with President Donald Trump, that it was "rigged."

"Was the 2020 election stolen by the establishment to get rid of a president, Donald Trump, whom it loathed?" will be debated decades hence -- as are questions such as, "Did FDR have advance knowledge the Japanese were going to attack?" and, "Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone in Dallas?"

That perception that something was afoot first arose in the minds of millions in the hours after the election on Nov. 3, when 83% of Republicans polled by Gallup said they did not believe reports of Trump's defeat.

Things perceived as real are real in their consequences.

And there was justification for that perception. Who was not stunned to learn that as Trump seemed to be pulling ahead in the voting count on Nov. 3, suddenly, around midnight, the vote counting appeared to stop in the crucial swing states, and we were told it would begin again early the next morning? Why the halt?

Again, things perceived as real are real in their consequences.

The Washington Post reports this week that, midway between Election Day and Inauguration Day, only 27 congressional Republicans would acknowledge Biden's win. Some 220 GOP members of the House and Senate -- 88% of Republicans serving in Congress -- would not say who won the election.

#1  There's nothing to debate.

Probably 75% of the voters were let in the dark by this country's newsmedia regarding the undeniable corruption and likely compromise of the Democrat candidate by the Chinese Communist Party.

Had our media not given him such an in-kind donation, there is no way he would have won. In fact, he very likely would have been forced to leave the race, if not politics altogether.

He and his family would likely have been indicted on many of the same charges that have already resulted in convictions and prison terms for their corrupt American and Chinese business partners: money laundering, tax fraud, bribery and violation of the FCPA.

This election was rigged as early as the beginning of October, when every single major media outlet except the New York Post and Tucker Carlson's show put a spike through the story of Biden's corruption and compromise by China.

The Election Night absentee ballot bullshit was simply the cherry on this shit-sundae. The fix was in, weeks before Nov. 3.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam provides instruction on how to prey
[Breitbart] Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced new coronavirus restrictions Thursday and urged people of faith to stay out of their churches during the Christmas season.

"This year, we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building?" Northam said at a press conference. "For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers."

He urged faith leaders to "lead the way" and "set an example" for their communities.

"Worship with a mask on is still worship, worship outside or worship online is still worship," Northam said.

Northam conceded that he could not legally limit in-person worship ceremonies, noting that the recent Supreme Court decision against the state of New York prevented him from doing that.

But he blamed churches for contributing to the spread of the virus, noting that some houses of worship were not social distancing or wearing masks.

"I have heard reports. They don’t use distancing inside the church. They are not wearing masks. Quite frankly we know that a lot of the spread is coming from this," he said.

Northam also instituted a curfew from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., arguing that it was better not to be out of the home late at night.

"I will also say something that my parents taught me when I was younger, and that is nothing good happens after midnight," Northam said.

Northam also ordered all bars and restaurants to stop selling alcohol at 10:00 p.m.

Social gatherings must be limited to 10 people, he added, down from the previous 25.

He also mandated that everyone wear masks indoors, even if a group remained socially distant.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Is Israel Racist? A Reply To An Anti-Semitic Writer (Part 2)
[Townhall] The Jewish State, by definition, rejects some and welcomes others into the fold.

In "Is Israel Racist?", a reply to an anti-Semitic interviewer (he bailed), the emphasis was on demonstrating why Israel’s particularism is an extension of the individual’s right as a sovereign, discerning human being. For the freedom to include or exclude is not racist. Rather, it is the inherent right of free individuals, living severally or collectively."

Jews are to be faulted only to the extent that they deny to other nations the rights they claim for the Jewish ethno-state.

Israel’s particularism, moreover, is not race-based, it’s religious.

As understood in the U.S., racism is more often concerned with discrimination based on distinct physical characteristics. It’s thus important to understand that Jews no longer constitute a race.

Before the two exiles of the Jews from Israel, the first in 586 BCE, I would hazard that Hebrews were likely genetically quite distinct.

Immediately After Moving To Texas, Elon Musk Announces Tesla AR-15
[Babylon Bee] AUSTIN, TX—After years of fighting lame California politicians who want to lock everyone in their homes so they can't go to space or build cool stuff, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced he was moving to a land flowing with milk and honey called Texas. Almost immediately after the move, he announced a new product the whole world has been waiting for: the Tesla AR-15.

"Um... h-howdy, I think," said Elon, expertly taking on the local dialect. "Y'all want a Tesla AR-15? You got it, partner!"

The new firearm will look similar to a standard AR-15 but will in fact be a battery-powered railgun capable of firing 3 million rounds per minute. It will also feature a fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth capability, heat-seeking ammunition, and a chainsaw bayonet, to name a few.

"We really wanted to re-think self-defense," said Musk. "This new firearm will be the go-to rifle for our SpaceX volunteers when they encounter hostile aliens. It's also a celebration of the Second Amendment. If any federal authorities try to confiscate it, the rifle will automatically connect to the internet and file a lawsuit for you!"

The Federal Government has requested that Tesla at least remove the AI-powered "self-driving" feature on the firearm before selling it.

#4  I call BS on the AR-15 Size rail-gun.
The article reads like a joke waiting to played of commenters not reading to the end.

Besides no AR-15 size Rail-Gun could fire 3 million rounds a minute. It would have to be connected to a Mega-Watt Power Plant and have capacitor circuity that allows reloading, firing and recharging at 50,000+ rds a sec. Imagine the recoil at 50,000 rds a sec.

Now think of the Thermodynamics vs. Metallurgy issues alone. An the fact it would have to wrapped in a Helium cooled case and fed from a large cylinder tank.


Yes I looked into building a single shot model back in late 2000+ after seeing one in come movie. Yes I love to tinker, but I flush the idea after seeing the size, cost and issues.
