The Arizona forensic audit continued today at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in downtown Phoenix.
In Arizona, for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in that large and important county. The Board members claim everything was fine but they won’t allow anyone to get close to their results. They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally concluded the election results.
But despite their best efforts to prevent an audit of the Maricopa County results the forensic audit is taking place today at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The audit is being live-streamed from 9 different angles from the arena floor at AZAudit.org.
Portland’s mayor struck a new tone on Friday as he called for residents to help “unmask” people behind the continued violence in Oregon’s largest city.
In his most urgent appeal yet, Mayor Ted Wheeler encouraged whoever has information about the self-described anarchists who are committing crimes in late-night riots to contact the police.
The rabble rousers often show up to their so-called direct action events in cars. If anyone spots a license plate on one of the vehicle, they can give that information to the authorities, he added.
“Our job is to unmask them, arrest them, and prosecute them. I want to personally thank neighbors, family, friends, and others who have come forward with vital evidence. People know who these criminals are. They know what they’re up to,” Wheeler said during a virtual briefing.
The mayor also made clear that he was not asking people to become violent.
“If you see somebody engaged in criminal activity, and you can safely film it or take a photograph, please do so. To be clear, we’re asking people to be engaged in a way that is nonconfrontational, that is nonviolent,” he said.
While a large majority of Democrats approve of President Joe Biden’s flooded border, a majority of American adults disapprove, according to the latest ABC News/The Washington Post poll.
There were 53% who disapproved of Biden’s handling of the influx of illegal border crossers, including 44% who strongly disapproved among the poll’s adults.
But 64% of Democrats at least somewhat approved of scores of migrants cramming into facilities in violation of COVID-19 guidelines on social distancing, compared to just 10% of Republicans.
Also, the poll found a majority of Americans (53%) are concerned Biden is going to “do too much to increase the size and role of government in the U.S.,” including 32% very concerned. But that, too, did not resonate with Democrats (just 6% very concerned and 18% somewhat concerned.)
On the Monday before Easter 2021, Gallup published a poll indicating that membership of a church, synagogue, or mosque had dropped below fifty percent of U.S. adults for the first time in eight decades.
For six of those decades, the number hovered around 70 percent. It has since dropped to just 47 percent, with the sheerest decline occurring in the past two decades.
Religion In America Is Hollowing Out.
The study noted:
“The decline in church membership… appears largely tied to population change, with those in older generations who were likely to be church members being replaced in the U.S. adult population with people in younger generations who are less likely to belong. The change has become increasingly apparent in recent decades because millennials and Gen Z are further apart from traditionalists in their church membership rates (about 30 points lower) than baby boomers and Generation X are (eight and 16 points, respectively).”
Similarly, Pew Research has found that more Americans (41 percent) reported the global pandemic strengthening family bonds, compared to the 28 percent who reported it had strengthened their personal religious faith.
Despite that, America led other advanced economies by 12 percentage points in believing their faith had been strengthened.
Kamala Harris has yet to tackle the situation at the border, but the kids in cages are receiving English-language copies of her children’s book.
Photographs reveal that, despite Vice President Kamala Harris being tasked by the Biden administration to tackle the flood of illegal immigrants at the southern border – which Joe Biden describes as a crisis, but the White House does not – she is instead giving unaccompanied minors, who are living in cages, copies of her children’s book.
The New York Post notes that, while Harris has yet to address the crisis at the border, or even visit the border, “a children’s book she wrote is waiting there for young migrants who are being welcomed into the country.” Specifically, the largely Spanish-speaking children are greeted with a copy of her 2019 book, “Superheroes Are Everywhere,” in which she writes “Whenever there’s trouble, superheroes show up just in time.” The discovery was made after photo journalists with mainstream media outlets captured the book on the tightly packed cots used by the illegal immigrant minors.

Drug cartels fighting a fierce turf war in western Mexico began weaponizing commercial drones by turning them into delivery systems for improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Breitbart Texas obtained exclusive photographs of the explosives devices and the methods used by cartel operators.

Bill Maher pummeled young Americans who subscribe to far-left ideologies such as communism and abolishing the police in a scathing diatribe. In a discussion about ageism, the liberal host of the HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher” hammered progressive millennials and Gen Z for being “gullible” enough to actually want to cancel capitalism and Abraham Lincoln.
Maher highlighted countries such as Greece and Japan that respect their elders and go to them for wisdom, but noted that America’s youth shows disdain for older people.
“This is the only country in the world dumb enough not to get this most basic, intuitive, obvious, ‘file-it-under-duh’ concept: that if, as they say, you learn something new every day, it stands to reason someone who’s logged 10,000 more days is going to be, in general, wiser,” Maher stated. “Life is a series of patterns. You don’t see it the first time — because it’s not a pattern yet — but by the third time, you go ‘okay, I get it now.'”
The HBO host asked, “Is there anything more piss-ignorant than not using old people as a resource, not taking advantage of their accumulated knowledge?”
“Do you know the reason why advertisers in this country love the 18-34 demographic? Because it’s the most gullible,” Maher quipped.
Maher referenced a 2020 Gallup poll that young Americans were far more likely to embrace the revolutionary idea of abolishing the police.
“A third of people under 35 say they’re in favor of abolishing the police — not defunding, but doing away with a police force altogether, which is less of a policy position and more of a leg tattoo,” Maher joked.
President Joe Biden’s left-wing deputies will force abandoned, battered, and raped women to share sleeping quarters in homeless shelters with men who say they are women.
The draft regulation was described by officials as a progressive effort to help men win their claimed legal right to female identity:
“Access to safe, stable housing-and shelter-is a basic necessity,” said Secretary [Marcia] Fudge. “Unfortunately, transgender and gender non-conforming people report more instances of housing instability and homelessness than cis-gender people. Today, we are taking a critical step in affirming [Housing and Urban Development] HUD’s commitment that no person be denied access to housing or other critical services because of their gender identity. HUD is open for business for all.”
Biden’s pro-transgender rule replaces a regulation set by deputies working for President Donald Trump. Trump’s rule allowed managers at taxpayer-funded shelters to recognize and consider each person’s sex before allocating them to rooms with men, women, or people who claim to be members of the opposite sex.
Former Republican President George W. Bush, during one of the most consequential elections in the country’s history, refused to choose the conservative major party candidate on the 2020 ballot, and instead wasted his vote, he has disclosed.
Bush, who was president from 2001 to 2009, told People magazine in an interview published this week that he voted for Condoleezza Rice, his second-term Secretary of State, and not former President Donald Trump. Bush said he wrote in Rice’s name, which is a fact she is aware of.
“She knows it,” Bush told the left-wing entertainment and lifestyle outlet, “But she told me she would refuse to accept the office.”
While it’s moderately comforting to know that the former commander-in-chief and leader of the GOP did not directly vote for then-candidate Joe Biden, it’s a bit of a gut punch for conservatives who spent eight years defending him and his family name from attacks from the left.
