Here is John Nolte's latest column.

The Trump administration continues to deny our election results and slow government transition efforts. It also has stayed firm in downplaying the coronavirus, denying a relief package in support of small businesses, economically endangered cities, states and average citizens.

So we ask, “Where are the Republicans?” But the real question is, “Why are Republican leaders silent?” They are not cowering in fear of Trump, and they are not fools. They are waiting patiently for the impending catastrophe they have fomented to cripple America in 2021, blame it all on the Democrats, and solidify their resurgence by leading a business-first, capitalist-driven America. If their plan works, prepare to be a grateful recipient of whatever trickles down from above. The voting process in the two Senate run-off elections in Georgia is the next chess move.

Will it be free and fair, or restrictive? Support free and fair.

Note from KBJ: You're an idiot, Bill. If it weren't for President Trump, there would be no vaccine and the American economy would be in a depression.

This is BIG NEWS. Dominion Voting Machines are a disaster all over the Country. Changed the results of a landslide election. Can’t let this happen. Thank you for the genius, bravery, and patriotism of the Judge. Should get a medal! https://t.co/4WwiA83Prg

I saw five bobcats on today's ride. Four were at this spot (one ran into the woods); one was at a spot over a mile away. Click to enlarge.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

I imagine it took Gov. Tom Wolf but a split-second to burst out in raucous laughter upon learning that a group of Republican members of the General Assembly, led by Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, asked him to call a special session to address what they believe are vast election irregularities that caused Joe Biden to inaccurately be awarded a win in Pennsylvania (Dec. 3, “GOP Lawmakers Want Wolf to Call Session on Election”).

Mr. Metcalfe, arguably the most virulent anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-gay member of the General Assembly, has fought every sensible initiative the governor has proposed. He has called for open rebellion, protests in the streets, to challenge the economic restrictions the governor has imposed in an effort to stem the spread of the coronavirus, which now rages out of control and threatens to overwhelm our hospitals by Christmas.

I believe that every member of the band of Republican insurgents knows that the election results are final and that Mr. Biden won fair and square. They are acting at the behest of constituents who believe anything and everything they are told by the liar-in-chief notwithstanding the fact that election officials and elected officials at all levels, and on both sides of the aisle, have made it clear that there was no fraud that would change the result of the election in any state.

The individuals who display hyperpartisanship in an effort to perpetrate a bloodless coup are not fit to lead and should be ashamed. Thank God we have a governor who is not delusional, a leader who recognizes the law, the Constitution and our democracy.

Note from KBJ: Stop projecting your mendacity onto President Trump, Oren. He hasn't lied about anything and you know it.
