Chick-fil-A is always a cheery place, but there’s one location that’s really stepping up its holiday spirit game.
The location in Athens, Georgia, has started a tradition thanks to a man named Alex Clark.
“Meet the man behind the lights, Alex Clark!” Chick-fil-A Athens/Atlanta Highway shared on Oct. 28.
“Our operator started #LightsOfAthens to spread #HOPE and create family traditions. He hung up almost half a million lights this year!”
Footage of the restaurant shows a completely bedazzled property — pretty much everything except the dirt and pavement is strung in Christmas lights.
The sides of the building itself are covered with sheets of lights, the trees and bushes are all aglow and rows of lights radiate out from the roof of the restaurant.
Dubbed the “Lights of Athens” by Clark, the location has become somewhat of a local legend, and it’s dazzling whether you drive or fly by.
“Thank You Alex,” one person commented on the post. “They are always amazing to see. All of us love viewing them. It is a tradition for us every year.”
“Thank[]you for all the hard work you and your family put into this!” another wrote. “We always look forward to the lights at your restaurant!”
“Thank you,” a third wrote. “They are beautiful and much needed this year.”
The lights have been a tradition since 2016, but this year they’ve added a radio station with a curated playlist so people can have a bit of that dine-in experience while waiting in the drive-thru.
There’s a video circulating and shared by the fast-food restaurant that shows an aerial shot of the lights at night from a drone perspective.
“Although football season is coming to an end, our Friday Night Lights are in full swing!” the restaurant wrote.
For those who want an even more up-close-and-personal experience, the restaurant suggests that customers order their food and then enjoy it on-site — just not indoors.
“Family night out idea!” it posted on Nov. 19.
“Place a Mobile-Curbside or Drive-Thru order and enjoy #LightsOfAthens out on our lawn. Tag who you want to bring!”
This holiday season might be a little different from the ones we’re used to, but there are still ways to celebrate, and Chick-fil-A is certainly doing its best to give customers a Merry Christmas.

Some versions of the Chevy Camaro have become off limits for California and Washington residents who want to order a new 2021 model .
The issue is that the copper levels in the brake pads violate state laws .
There are four 2021 Camaros on the banned list : the SS , 2SS , ZL1 , and ZL1 1LE models .
Customers can order neither the coupe nor the convertible , although if a dealer has what they want on the lot , they still can buy a model on the banned-order list , according to the website GMAuthority .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington state related to copper brake pads , customers in those states can not order [ the four Camaro models ] for delivery after January 1 , 2021 , ” said Kevin M. Kelly , senior manager of Chevrolet Cars and Crossover Communications .
Kelly said Camaro lovers should not lose heart entirely .
“ Customers can , however , purchase these models from available dealer stock in those states , ” he said .
And for those who are picky but patient , there is good news .
“ We will resume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to order the Camaro SS , ZL1 and 1LE models for the 2022 model year when we introduce a new brake system that is compliant with the copper requirements , ” Kelly said .
By then , more rules might change .
California has imposed tougher emissions standards in 2021 and is moving toward having all cars sold in the state as of 2035 be emissions-free .
The ban on ordering some 2021 Camaros did not sit well with many on Twitter .
RELATED : Carjackings Have Risen an Astonishing 537 % in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brakes has been waged for years .
In 2010 , then-California Gov .
Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the California Motor Vehicle Brake Friction Material Law , which banned the sale of brake pads “ containing more than trace amounts of copper , certain heavy metals , and asbestos.
” Next month , brake pads with more than 5 percent copper will be banned , according to Yahoo .

Although Election Day was more than a month ago , questions about the validity of the 2020 presidential election still hang heavy in the air .

“ That is not a sustainable state of affairs for our country , ” Johnson said .

“ When is this nonsense detrimental to our democracy going to end ?
” the New York Democrat whined from the Senate floor Thursday .
“ To use a Senate committee to spread misinformation about our own elections , it ’ s beyond the pale.
” Schumer called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky to muzzle Johnson and stop President Donald Trump from challenging the election results over alleged voter fraud and irregularities .
All 50 states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Electoral College is expected to meet Monday to cast ballots that will make former Vice President Joe Biden the president-elect .
Despite all of the bloviating from the left about Trump just being a sore loser , there are serious allegations that haven ’ t been completely vetted yet .
There were the “ suitcases ” full of votes in Georgia and sworn affidavits about hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots vanishing , not to mention the simple logical problem of how Republicans managed to thwart the “ blue wave ” and flip @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while still losing the presidency .
In addition , 18 states have signed on to a Texas lawsuit challenging the election results on the basis that other states ’ irregularities and fraud hindered the ability to hold a free national election .
None of this means that these allegations are true or that they would have even had a major impact on election results , but they deserve the proper serious scrutiny and resolution , one way or another .

Dr. Jill Biden, the wife of former Vice President Joe Biden, spoke to members of the Washington, D.C., National Guard on Thursday.
During a question-and-answer session, Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins asked for her reaction to the news that Hunter Biden was the subject of a tax investigation.
Unsurprisingly, Jill Biden ignored the question.
And according to a pool report from “PBS NewsHour” correspondent John Yang, at that point, “the wranglers stepped in front of cameras and shooed us away,” the Daily Caller reported.

While it sounded as though media availability was ending before Jenkins asked Jill Biden about Hunter, it’s still notable that not only did she ignore the question, but the “wranglers” made sure there wouldn’t be any follow-up.
On Wednesday, in an attempt to get ahead of the story, Biden’s transition team had released a statement from Hunter Biden in which the younger Biden said he had learned just the day before that the Justice Department was investigating him.
“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” the statement read.
Will Hunter Biden ever be held accountable for his foreign business dealings? Yes No

Also Wednesday, Politico reported that the “Justice Department’s interest in Hunter Biden covered more than taxes” in a story that discussed investigations into foreign ties and even possible money laundering.
Citing a source with “direct knowledge of the investigation,” the outlet reported: “In addition to Delaware, the securities fraud unit in the Southern District of New York also scrutinized Hunter Biden’s finances.”
Moreover, “federal authorities in the Western District of Pennsylvania are conducting a criminal investigation of a hospital business in which Joe Biden’s brother James was involved,” the outlet added, citing a second source.
Now it’s worth noting that none of the reported probes directly implicate Joe Biden, and that the former vice president has claimed to have had no knowledge of his son’s foreign business affairs.
However, emails found on a laptop reportedly belonging to Hunter Biden suggest he may have been aware of his son’s dealings and allegedly may have even benefited financially from them. (Remember that one 2017 batch of emails apparently referenced a deal Hunter Biden was trying to make with CEFC, a Chinese energy company. Those emails estimate Hunter Biden would be paid “850” and that shares in a new company he was trying to start would be split with “10 held by H for the big guy.”)
So, if the Bidens have nothing to hide, why not just answer the question?
Even if he is innocent when it comes to allegations of corruption, the fact remains that presumptive President-elect Joe Biden has been compromised by his son’s foreign business dealings — particularly with China — which could certainly represent a counterintelligence risk to the U.S. were Biden to become president.

San Diego Health Official Admits Hospital Capacity Is ‘Very Close’ To Where It Was in 2017 Flu Season

Millions of Californians are stuck at home due to Democratic Gov .
Gavin Newsom ’ s latest draconian stay-at-home order , which cited a shortage of intensive care unit beds as a factor for triggering another emotionally and financially taxing shutdown .
But according to a public health official in one of the state ’ s most populated counties , the number of such beds currently occupied is relatively similar to that of a bad flu season .
“ As COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations continue to rise at an alarming pace and threaten to overwhelm the health care delivery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Regional Stay at Home Order that will be triggered if Intensive Care Unit ( ICU ) capacity drops below 15 percent in a given region , ” Newsom ’ s office stated last week in a media release .
“ State health officials are tracking the state by five regions : Northern California , Bay Area , Greater Sacramento , San Joaquin Valley and Southern California .
No regions currently meet this threshold but some are projected to within the next week.
” Those five regions , of course , include millions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ losing money and being psychologically tormented by the loneliness of isolation .
The order also came after the World Health Origination , a credible source for Democrats , came out strongly against using ineffective and unconstitutional lockdowns .
“ We are at a tipping point in our fight against the virus and we need to take decisive action now to prevent California ’ s hospital system from being overwhelmed in the coming weeks , ” said Newsom himself .
“ By invoking a Stay at Home Order for regions where ICU capacity falls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the curve as we ’ ve done before and reduce stress on our health care system .
I ’ m clear-eyed that this is hard on all of us — especially our small businesses who are struggling to get by.
” It ’ s easy for Newsom to talk about how to “ flatten the curve ” and to even claim he , too , is suffering .
But Newsom has been seen out enjoying meals with company at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in Yountville , California , according to KTTV-TV .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ who aren ’ t elected Democrats are being asked to sacrifice their liberties to preserve ICU beds in some hospitals that , according to a report , have historically been occupied at about the same frequency which they are now .
That ’ s the case in San Diego County at least .
Thanks to some intrepid reporting from San Diego ’ s KUSI-TV , we know that despite the fear mongering from public health officials , the situation with that county ’ s hospital beds is on par with a season with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ KUSI-TV reported that it reached out last week to Dr. Wilma Wooten , who is the county ’ s public health officer , to inquire about what pre-pandemic hospital capacity looked like .
It ’ s a valid question , considering that prior to this year , the availability of ICU beds wasn ’ t much of a topic for breaking news .
Newsom nor his predecessor , former Democratic California Gov .
Jerry Brown , ever asked people to stay home , lose their livelihoods and become dependent on drugs and/or alcohol @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seasons .
Now , millions are at home in California ’ s major population centers , and KUSI-TV , to their credit , asked a serious question .
The outlet ’ s reporters wanted to know what hospital capacity looks like in a given year in San Diego , where they ’ ve been told the situation is dire , so they asked Wooten .
RELATED : Watch : Biden Completely Botches the Name of His HHS Nominee Wooten apparently dodged that question last Saturday .
But , the outlet persisted throughout the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ San Diego County Health official on Wednesday .

But Wooten then gave the outlet some very interesting information .

westernjournal--2020-12-11--Game-Changing Video Shows Blank GA Ballots Turned Into Votes Using Dominion Machine

Two recently released videos seem to reveal a possible method of voter fraud using Dominion Voting System software .
Filmed by a Georgia county election supervisor , the videos demonstrate serious security flaws within Dominion ’ s adjudication process .
The company ’ s machines were used in Georgia and other states during the still-contested November general election .
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani , who is leading President Donald Trump ’ s legal fight over alleged voter fraud and irregularities , presented the videos while appearing before a Georgia state House committee on Thursday , according to Fox @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Martin , elections director of Coffee County , gives a step-by-step demonstration of how this fraud could have taken place .
In the first video , Martin walks through the process , which involves election supervisors analyzing ballots that were unable to be scanned into the Dominion machines .
The process is meant to authenticate ballots , determining whether they should be processed for a particular candidate or thrown out due to discrepancies such as over-voting ( voting for more than one candidate ) .
Martin seemingly demonstrated in the video , however @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use Dominion ’ s software to process any ballot however he or she sees fit .
Trump votes could be turned into votes for his Democratic opponent , Joe Biden , or vice versa .
Blank ballots could be attributed to any candidate .
Essentially , election supervisors would have the power to use this system to create votes from nothing .
In the second video , the camera is taken outside what is presumably an office for election supervisors , illustrating that poll observers would not be able to tell exactly what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stand outside of the office .
Gabriel Sterling , Georgia ’ s voting systems implementation manager , criticized Martin ’ s demonstration during a briefing at the Georgia Capitol on Thursday , according to Georgia Public Broadcasting .
According to Sterling , the process Martin showed is meant to be performed during the adjudication process in the presence of a full voter review panel with the system logging the changes and showing who made them for later review .
RELATED : Sen. Ron Johnson Calls Senate Hearing on Alleged 'Irregularities ' in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the street and shoot someone , that would be against the law , ” Sterling said .
“ What she was doing would be against the law , if she did that .
So it ’ s a little disingenuous to say , ‘ Oh , it ’ s a massive hole in the system.
’ No , it ’ s how the system is supposed to work.
” Regardless , it is clear that the Dominion system is set up in a way that allows election officials to change contested votes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of ballots sent through the adjudication process was significant .
In Fulton County , Georgia ’ s most populous county , 106,000 ballots were adjudicated by the night of Nov. 4 , according to NBC News .
That ’ s 106,000 votes in one county in a race where Biden received about 12,000 more votes than Trump across all of Georgia .
Maybe all of those adjudications were legitimate .
Maybe some weren ’ t .
Either way , these videos seem to demonstrate Dominion software could be used to create votes from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any effect on the election , no one person should have that much power — not even an election supervisor .

The Georgia native was born on Dec. 13, 1945, just months after the end of World War II.
Cain’s parents — Luther (a barber, janitor and chauffeur) and Lenora (a domestic worker) — had two big dreams for their family: to buy a house and to see their two sons graduate from college.
Through hard work, both dreams came to pass.
The documentary film “From Poor to CEO: The Incredible Journey of Herman Cain” chronicles the improbable rise of the American icon from a lower-income, working-class family in Atlanta to CEO of Godfather’s Pizza to chairman of the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City to president of the National Restaurant Association and later to candidate for president of the United States.
The movie has a personal, warm feel to it, interspersed with that trademark Herman Cain humor.
The media personality shares with director Barry Tolli in the film that his parents laid the foundation for his future success.

westernjournal--2020-12-11--Walking Contradiction: Warnock Ripped for Saying He’s a ‘Pro-Choice Pastor’ – His Other Beliefs Aren

Walking Contradiction: Warnock Ripped for Saying He’s a ‘Pro-Choice Pastor’ – His Other Beliefs Aren’t Any Better

The Rev .
Raphael Warnock , one of the Democratic candidates running for a Senate seat in Georgia ’ s upcoming January runoff elections , shocked the world on Tuesday with five simple words .
“ I am a pro-choice pastor , ” Warnock , the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta since 2005 , tweeted .
Numerous prominent Christians responded by pointing out the obvious hypocrisy in Warnock ’ s contradictory stances of claiming to follow the ways of Jesus Christ while actively supporting the dismemberment and murder of children in the womb .
Many progressives , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ views .
For example , on her MSNBC show , “ The ReidOut , ” Joy Reid claimed that Republicans were hypocritical for defending Amy Coney Barrett ’ s “ extremely doctrinaire , ultra-right-wing Christian beliefs ” but refusing to defend Warnock ’ s beliefs .
But Reid was conflating two different issues .
While liberals attacked Barrett for following her Christian beliefs , Republicans are criticizing Warnock for feigning Christian faith while holding radical , un-Christian beliefs .
Moreover , Warnock ’ s pro-abortion stance is far from the only anti-Christian view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also denies the fact that Jesus Christ was Jewish and has even called him a “ poor Palestinian prophet ” and a “ Palestinian peasant.
” Warnock also promotes the tenets of Marxism , a materialistic world-view designed by Karl Marx to uproot and replace all religions .

The Rev. Raphael Warnock, one of the Democratic candidates running for a Senate seat in Georgia’s upcoming January runoff elections, shocked the world on Tuesday with five simple words.
“I am a pro-choice pastor,” Warnock, the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta since 2005, tweeted.
I am a pro-choice pastor. — Reverend Raphael Warnock (@ReverendWarnock) December 9, 2020
Numerous prominent Christians responded by pointing out the obvious hypocrisy in Warnock’s contradictory stances of claiming to follow the ways of Jesus Christ while actively supporting the dismemberment and murder of children in the womb.
Many progressives, however, are defending Warnock’s views. For example, on her MSNBC show, “The ReidOut,” Joy Reid claimed that Republicans were hypocritical for defending Amy Coney Barrett’s “extremely doctrinaire, ultra-right-wing Christian beliefs” but refusing to defend Warnock’s beliefs.
But Reid was conflating two different issues. While liberals attacked Barrett for following her Christian beliefs, Republicans are criticizing Warnock for feigning Christian faith while holding radical, un-Christian beliefs.
Moreover, Warnock’s pro-abortion stance is far from the only anti-Christian view espoused by the Georgia candidate.
Warnock also denies the fact that Jesus Christ was Jewish and has even called him a “poor Palestinian prophet” and a “Palestinian peasant.”

The Georgia candidate’s anti-Christian rhetoric doesn’t stop there.
Warnock also promotes the tenets of Marxism, a materialistic world-view designed by Karl Marx to uproot and replace all religions.
In his 2013 book, “The Divided Mind of the Black Church,” Warnock praised Marxism, claimed “the Marxist Critique has much to teach the black church” and rebuked what he called “white capitalistic forces.”

According to an Op-Ed from The Washington Post, the man Warnock says was his mentor, James Hal Cone, was a controversial black theologian who labeled white Christians as racist and “white Christianity” as “the Antichrist.”
These and so many more of Warnock’s views are far from the actual teachings of Jesus Christ.
The reason for this is simple: Warnock interprets the Bible through the lens of Black Liberation Theology.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Warnock is an avid proponent of black liberation theology (BLT), which filters its Christology (doctrine of Christ) through an ethno-cultural lens. Read his book, “The Divided Mind of the Black Church” and you’ll see. — Darrell B. Harrison (@D_B_Harrison) December 8, 2020
Speaking with The Western Journal via Twitter, theological expert Darrell B. Harrison explained the tenets of BLT and how exactly a pastor like Warnock could arrive at such radical positions in his interpretation of scripture.
Harrison, who serves as Dean of Social Media at Grace to You (the bible-teaching ministry of John MacArthur), is a fellow of the Black Theology and Leadership Institute at Princeton Theological Seminary and is the lead host of the “Just Thinking” podcast, one of the most prominent Christian podcasts in America.
According to Harrison, BLT is a “branch of early twentieth-century liberation theology” promoting the idea that Jesus Christ came into the world with the purpose of identifying with “poor, marginalized, and oppressed black people in their struggle for liberation from their white oppressors.”
Of course, none of this is actually supported by true biblical doctrine.
“It preaches a Marxist-styled ‘gospel’ that advocates for the deconstruction of the systems, structures, and institutions that resulted from that oppression, as well as the procuration and redistribution of any and all wealth that was acquired by white people as a result of 400 years of black enslavement in America,” Harrison told The Western Journal.
“BLT teaches that in order for the gospel of Christ to have its intended and full-orbed effectual in the world both the Church and, to a great extent the Federal government, are obligated to engage in targeted and concerted efforts of ‘social justice’ so as to ameliorate, primarily through the payment of monetary reparations, the effects of hundreds of years of slavery of and racial prejudice toward in black people America.”
Pushed by Warnock and other radical Marxist preachers, the tenets of Black Liberation Theory effectively “distorts biblical truth” in various ways, according to Harrison.
“BLT distorts biblical truth in many ways, not the least of which is that it proffers a Christology (doctrine of Jesus Christ) and a soteriology (doctrine of salvation) that is ‘racialized,’ meaning, Jesus Christ is preached as being black and, as such, is the Savior of black people as a ‘race’ — not exclusively, but especially,” Harrison explained.
“Consequently, the ‘salvation’ the gospel is meant to bring to fruition is that which liberates poor, marginalized, and oppressed black people from the effects of white racism — which people like Raphael Warnock believe is ‘America’s original sin.'”
Christian pastors are tasked with the goal of teaching the inspired word of God as it was intended.
You can’t simply interpret the biblical text through whatever cultural lens best suits the time — it is the job of pastors to understand who the Bible was written for, what the message was for that audience at the time and how that message can be applied by Christians today.
Warnock’s message isn’t centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as it should be.
It is instead centered on the same ridiculous race-obsessed, pseudo-religious philosophy that’s been spouted off by Black Lives Matter leaders and Critical Race Theory professors throughout 2020.
A philosophy that damns the innocent lives of the unborn.

westernjournal--2020-12-11--NFL Legend Tony Dungy Calls Raphael Warnock’s Christian Faith Into Doubt with Biting Questions

Legendary NFL coach Tony Dungy brought his hard-hitting style to the battle over abortion with a tweet that called out Democratic Senate candidate Rev .
Raphael Warnock .
Warnock is battling Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of the two runoff elections that will take place in Georgia next month .
Warnock has declared himself to be a “ pro-choice pastor.
” “ Rev Warner may be a pastor , ” Dungy tweeted , later blaming spell-check for not getting Warnock ’ s name correct .
“ My question would be ‘ Is he a Christian ?
’ That is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jesus and does he believe that the Bible is the absolute word of God ?
” Dungy further pressed his case as he debated with others on Twitter .
He later noted that it takes more than working in a church to be a Christian .
“ I would think it would be difficult for someone who believes that God sees us when we are in the womb ( Psalm 139:13-16 ) to think that it is OK to choose not to bring that life to fruition.
” “ Please read Psalm 139:13-16 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God puts babies in the womb or man does ?
If you believe they randomly get there , then I have no argument .
But if you believe God puts them there , then how does anyone have a right to ‘ choose ’ which ones survive ?
” Dungy also noted that his comments are not related to the upcoming election .
Dungy has often publicly expressed his faith .
“ I ’ ve always felt that my Christian principles and what I believed about life was more important than anything , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was going to be at the forefront , ” Dungy said in a 2016 interview , according to The Columbus Dispatch .

That provoked questions from Dungy.
“Rev Warner may be a pastor,” Dungy tweeted, later blaming spell-check for not getting Warnock’s name correct.
“My question would be ‘Is he a Christian?’ That is, does he follow the teachings of Jesus and does he believe that the Bible is the absolute word of God?”

Dungy further pressed his case as he debated with others on Twitter.
If you’re going to pick one verse and give it to me I’ll pick one verse for you. Look at Mark 2:27 — Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 9, 2020
I’m not judging anyone. I’m just asking two questions. The answers to those two questions will tell me a lot. No interpretations necessary. Just yes or no answers. — Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 9, 2020
He later noted that it takes more than working in a church to be a Christian.
I didn’t ask where he served. I asked if he follows the teachings of Jesus and if he believes the Bible absolutely—that it is 100% accurate and is truly the word of God. — Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 9, 2020
“I would think it would be difficult for someone who believes that God sees us when we are in the womb (Psalm 139:13-16) to think that it is OK to choose not to bring that life to fruition.”

Dungy said abortion destroys what God creates.
“Please read Psalm 139:13-16. Then tell me if you think God puts babies in the womb or man does? If you believe they randomly get there, then I have no argument. But if you believe God puts them there, then how does anyone have a right to ‘choose’ which ones survive?”

Dungy also noted that his comments are not related to the upcoming election.
Not talking politics here. Not talking about the law. Talking about right and wrong. — Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 10, 2020
I didn’t say anything about public office. That is not my concern at all. — Tony Dungy (@TonyDungy) December 10, 2020
Dungy has often publicly expressed his faith.
“I’ve always felt that my Christian principles and what I believed about life was more important than anything, so whatever job I did, that was going to be at the forefront,” Dungy said in a 2016 interview, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
