Democrats pulled off a surprising upset on Tuesday evening by flipping a Georgia state House district that has historically leaned Republican. Democrat Eric Gisler defeated Republican Mack Guest IV in the special election in Georgia’s House District 121. President Trump won the district last year by 12 points. DDHQ: Eric Gisler (D) has defeated Mack Guest IV (R) in Georgia HD-121 Special Election GOP to FLIP Eric Gisler ran for this same seat in 2024 lost by 22 points This district was Trump+12 in 2024 pic.twitter.com/rBjYNeE7dS — InteractivePolls (@IAPolls2022) December 10, 2025 Georgia Recorder shared further: Eric Gisler, a tech executive and small business owner, took the lead in the Athens-area district with 50.85% of the vote, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s office. Republican candidate Mack “Dutch” Guest IV was nearly 200 votes behind, with 49.15% of the vote. And in metro Atlanta, two candidates vying for an open House seat are headed to a runoff after no one managed to clear the 50% threshold required to win a seat outright in the six-way contest. Republican Bill Fincher and Democrat Scott Sanders advanced to a Jan. 6 runoff. The two races are the latest in a series of off-year special elections for state legislative seats in Georgia to replace lawmakers who have died, resigned, or been appointed to other political offices. In addition to the Georgia upset, Democrats celebrated a victory in Florida by winning the Miami mayor’s office for the first time in nearly 30 years. Results Are In For Miami Mayoral Election As Democrats Seek To Win Office For First Time In Nearly Three Decades “I think we had the right message for the time,” Gisler said in an interview, according to ABC News. “A lot of what I would call traditional conservatives held their nose and voted Republican last year on the promise of low prices and whatever else they were selling," he continued. ?BREAKING? In an absolute shocker, Democrat Eric Gisler has defeated Republican Mack Guest IV in the Georgia State House 121 Special Election. Gisler lost this same district 61% to 39% in 2024. This is a flip from ? to ?. pic.twitter.com/yiWav4uzEM — The Political HQ (@ThePoliticalHQ) December 10, 2025 ABC News has more: Republicans remain firmly in control of the Georgia House, but their majority is likely fall to 99-81 when lawmakers return in January. Also Tuesday, voters in a second, heavily Republican district in Atlanta's northwest suburbs sent Republican Bill Fincher and Democrat Scott Sanders to a Jan. 6 runoff to fill a vacancy created when Rep. Mandi Ballinger died. The GOP majority is down from 119 Republicans in 2015. It would be the first time the GOP holds fewer than 100 seats in the lower chamber since 2005, when they won control for the first time since Reconstruction. The race between Gisler and Guest in House District 121 in the Athens area northeast of Atlanta was held to replace Republican Marcus Wiedower, who was in the seat since 2018 but resigned in the middle of this term to focus on business interests. Most of the district is in Oconee County, a Republican suburb of Athens, reaching into heavily Democratic Athens-Clarke County.

Democrats have flipped the Miami mayor’s office for the first time in nearly three decades. Eileen Higgins defeated Emilio Gonzalez to become the first Democrat mayor of the Florida city since 1997. Decision Desk HQ called the race at 7:08 p.m. ET. According to The Hill, Higgins won the runoff election 59.5 percent to 40.5 percent. Decision Desk HQ projects Eileen Higgins to win the Miami Mayoral Runoff election.#DecisionMade: 7:08 pm ET pic.twitter.com/CSpm55Vw67 — Decision Desk HQ (@DecisionDeskHQ) December 10, 2025 The Hill shared further: The win is the latest boost for Democrats, who are coming out of better-than-expected elections in November and a strong showing in this month’s special House election in Tennessee. The party hopes that an energized base and a focus on issues like affordability will help them flip the House and possibly even the Senate in next year’s midterms. Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Ken Martin lauded the win in a statement, describing it as “testament to what Democrats can accomplish when we organize and compete everywhere, including in Miami.” “Tonight’s result is yet another warning sign to Republicans that voters are fed up with their out-of-touch agenda that is raising costs for working families across the country,” he added. Higgins and Gonzalez were both forced into a runoff after neither candidate was able to receive at least half the vote. Higgins, who has become known as “La Gringa,” received 36 percent support in the November election, while Gonzalez received close to 20 percent.

May God bless Miami and our future,” he added. Grateful beyond words for the thousands of Miami residents who stood with us for integrity, safety, and putting families first. While this election didn’t end the way we hoped, our fight for accountability, transparency, and a city that works for residents not insiders… — Emilio T. Gonzalez for Mayor of Miami (@Emilioformiami) December 10, 2025 More from Newsweek: As with any election between general and midterm elections, both parties will be taking note of the result in Miami and adjusting plans accordingly. With the midterms looming, Republicans will be looking to continue the momentum seen in 2024 and maintain a hold on both chambers in Congress, while Democrats will be looking for any signs they could upset that majority. Miami will likely remain a hotly contested area, with the city having been won by former Vice President Kamala Harris by one point in 2024, while Miami-Dade County flipped red for Trump. As the second-largest city in Florida, and one which is extremely diverse, the party’s likely cannot write off the mayoral race as they might in other parts of the country, especially with Trump’s endorsement of Gonzalez.

The plane was mere seconds away from colliding with Coffey’s vehicle, but instead flew over and crashed into the other car, he recalled. “I noticed it was there, because there’s a plane right there, I was like, ‘Hopefully it lands to the side,” his son, Peter Coffey, who also witnessed the crash, said. “I thought it might maybe aim around and not hit the car, but bam, the wheel just smacked right dab on the back of the car.” “Fortunately, the car didn’t roll, it kind of mashed and went to the side,” Jim Coffey said. Additional photos of the aftermath of the wreck showed the crumpled up trunk of the car and the plane, which appeared to have had its nose and wheel torn off.

The more I learn about DMSO the more I am starting to think it is truly a miracle compound. Have you heard of it before? For decades, the pharmaceutical industry and its enablers in the FDA, CDC, and mainstream medicine have systematically suppressed the truth about DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide)—a powerful, natural compound extracted from trees that holds the key to tissue regeneration, cancer remission, inflammation reversal, and chronic pain relief. Article by Mike Adams, republished with permission from Naturalnews.com DMSO is one of the most well-researched yet censored substances in modern medicine, with over 11,000 scientific studies documenting its therapeutic potential since the 1960s. Yet Big Pharma buried it under a mountain of false “safety concerns” because it cannot be patented, and worse—it threatens the profitability of toxic chemotherapy, opioids, and synthetic pharmaceuticals. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on this forbidden cure, exposing how DMSO (alongside nature’s other hidden remedies like fenbendazole and therapeutic peptides) hold the potential to: Reverse cancer (including cervical, prostate, and breast tumors). Regrow some nerves, potentially heal spinal cord injuries, and restore damaged organs. Eliminate chronic pain (without opioids or surgery). Detoxify heavy metals and spike protein fragments lodged in tissues. Supercharge cellular signaling to activate the body’s innate healing power. (Disclaimer: The following is based on decades of research and clinical observations. Always consult a holistic physician before use.) How DMSO works: The science of miraculous healing 1. The Ultimate Cellular “Trojan Horse” DMSO is a polar solvent—meaning it can dissolve and transport both water-soluble and fat-soluble compounds deep into tissues. When applied topically or taken orally, it: Penetrates cell membranes instantly, carrying healing compounds (like curcumin, herbs, or peptides) directly into cells. Breaks the blood-brain barrier, delivering nutrients and detox agents (like glutathione) to the brain. Resets cellular voltage by restoring the body’s bioelectric signaling (as proven by Dr. Robert Becker in The Body Electric). Case Study: A 2014 study in Cancer Letters found that DMSO combined with hematoxylin (a plant dye) induced complete remission in cervical cancer patients by forcing apoptosis (cancer cell suicide). Yet this research was buried because it threatened the chemo-radiation industrial complex that profits from ongoing cancer. 2. Pain Relief Without Opioids DMSO is a potent anti-inflammatory that works by: Annihilating Free Radicals & Oxidative Stress (The Root of Chronic Pain) Unlike Big Pharma’s chemical band-aids (NSAIDs, steroids), DMSO is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, reducing the oxidative stress driving inflammation, arthritis, and even neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Dissolving Calcified Scar Tissue—Reversing Stiff, Painful Joints Naturally Stiff shoulders, frozen joints, and arthritic pain are often caused by calcification—an accumulation of hardened scar tissue. DMSO dissolves these deposits, restoring flexibility and function without surgery. Blocks Substance P—Shuts Off Pain Like a Switch Substance P is the neurotransmitter that screams “PAIN!” to your brain. DMSO shuts it down, offering near-instant relief for sports injuries, nerve pain, and arthritis—without addiction or side effects. Veterinarians and sports doctors have secretly used DMSO for decades to treat racehorses, athletes, and chronic pain patients—all without side effects. Yet the FDA restricts its use in humans, despite allowing toxic opioids to flood the market, generating billions in profits for Big Pharma. Get DMSO on Amazon here: 3. Nerve Regeneration and Organ Repair The most stunning application of DMSO is its ability to reactivate the body’s regenerative potential. Just as lizards regrow severed tails and human livers regenerate, DMSO stimulates stem cells and neuroplasticity by: Delivering topical peptides (like BPC-157 or thymosin beta-4) to damaged nerves. Triggering photonic signaling (light-based cellular communication) to rebuild tissues. Combining with essential oils such as Helichrysum—another powerful regenerative compound documented to heal severe nerve damage (I used this combo to regrow my own index finger after it was nearly severed in a ranching accident). DMSO—The Cancer Tumor Dissolver & Immune System Warrior Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know: DMSO has been studied for decades as an anti-cancer agent due to its ability to: Penetrate tumors and enhance delivery of anti-cancer molecules such as hematoxylin (while reducing chemo’s brutal side effects). Starve cancer cells by disrupting their glucose metabolism and cutting them off from the body’s blood supply. Boost immune function, helping the body recognize and destroy malignant cells. Yet the FDA ignores the research while approving deadly chemo drugs that bankrupt patients and destroy their bodies. Why Are Vets & Coaches Using DMSO—But Your Doctor Isn’t? While the FDA censors DMSO for human use (despite approving it for bladder inflammation), insiders have relied on it for decades: Racehorse trainers use it to speed muscle recovery. Pro athletes treat injuries with topical DMSO to heal fractures, sprains, and tears in days, not months. Veterinarians apply it on animals because it works without poisoning the liver like NSAIDs. The medical-industrial complex would rather push dangerous opioids (which kill thousands) than allow access to a safe, natural, and dirt-cheap healing liquid like DMSO to be readily available to the public. GET DMSO HERE The great DMSO cover-up In the 1960s, DMSO was on track to become Big Pharma’s worst nightmare: A Journal of Oncology study proved it shrank tumors. Dr. Stanley Jacob (U. of Oregon) used it to treat spinal cord injuries. NFL teams and Olympians used it for rapid recovery from injuries. Then the FDA launched a smear campaign, claiming (falsely) that DMSO caused eye damage in rabbits (later debunked). The real reason for this attack? DMSO outperformed chemo, painkillers, and steroids at a fraction of the cost. Today, Big Pharma still suppresses DMSO by: Blocking clinical trials for cancer and Alzheimer’s applications. Making sure doctors don’t know anything about DMSO, so they can’t tell patients about its miraculous properties. Pushing synthetic alternatives with deadly side effects that addict patients on high-profit opioids. The truth, in summary: DMSO is non-toxic, non-addictive, and effective for: Spinal cord injuries (studies show it reduces swelling and nerve damage). Stroke and brain trauma (by reducing oxidative damage). Burns, ulcers, and skin lesions (speeding healing by 300%). Many cancers such as cervical cancer where it provides a permanent cure, not just “remission.” Yet the FDA protects the opioid racket—while attacking natural medicine… all in order to protect the profits of Big Pharma. Get DMSO on Amazon here: How to use DMSO safely Do your own research. This is not medical advice. But use these ideas as starters for your ongoing research and your conversations with your naturopathic physician: 1. For Cancer and Tumors Mix DMSO + hematoxylin dye (or consider researching phycocyanins from spirulina) and apply topically to penetrate the tissue and kill cancer cells. Also read this MidwesternDoctor.com story about DMSO. Learn about fenbendazole (a potent anti-parasitic with anti-cancer properties) and ivermectin (studied for tumor suppression) as complementary therapies. 2. For Tissue Regeneration and Nerve Repair Research DMSO + Helichrysum oil (applied to injured area) for tissue regeneration. Research DMSO + BPC-157 peptide (a healing peptide that repairs tendons and nerves). 3. For Chronic Pain/Arthritis Research DMSO / aloe solutions at 70% / 30% for use on joints. Consider adding a very tiny amount of magnesium oil (just a drop or two) or MSM flakes for enhanced absorption and to drive MSM into your tissues and joints. WARNINGS: Avoid scented DMSO products (fragrance chemicals = cancer risk). Most DMSO product combinations sold online are filled with fragrance chemicals which can actually promote cancer. Don’t apply DMSO on your skin if you already have fragrance products, lotions, laundry detergents or other toxic chemical products on your skin. The DMSO will drive the toxins into your tissues. Always test for allergies or skin reactions first (apply to a small patch of your skin). Check with your naturopathic physician for guidance. The future of healing is here The human body already knows how to heal itself—it just needs the right signals (light, electricity, and natural compounds like DMSO). While Big Pharma pushes toxic drugs and depopulation jabs, the real cures are hiding in plain sight. Did you know that: Pig bladder stem cells can regrow human teeth. Fenbenazole, ivermectin and DMSO are crushing cancers worldwide. Phycocyanin from spirulina destroys pancreatic cancer tumors (micro-injection research in Japan). Infrared light + peptides assist with longevity and so-called “anti-aging.” Next Steps: Find a trusted source of DMSO. We cannot sell it for regulatory reasons. Currently we cannot recommend a DMSO brand, but we will be evaluating different DMSO brands and making recommendations based on what we find.

RELATED REPORT: Dr. McCullough Reveals the Cancer-Fighting Drug Big Pharma Doesn’t Want You to Know About Dr. McCullough Reveals the Cancer-Fighting Drug Big Pharma Doesn't Want You to Know About The COVID-19 pandemic, and the ensuing response by the medical establishment, was an eye-opening experience for tens of millions of Americans. We watched as the medical establishment put the biopharmaceutical complex’s bottom line above the health and well-being of the American people. Sadly, greed in medicine isn’t new and it isn’t restricted just to pandemic responses. Indeed, greed is often the primary motivation for much of our medical establishment’s response to almost every single healthcare challenge we face. This is certainly the case when it comes to the fight against cancer: A recent study in the journal Cancer takes a closer look at the impact of cancer drug prices on pharma revenues. Dr. Daniel Meyers at the University of Calgary and colleagues looked at the total revenue generated by ten large pharmaceutical companies from 2010 to 2019, and compared the revenue from cancer and non-cancer drugs. They found that sales from cancer drugs are becoming an increasingly important part of pharmaceutical companies’ revenue. While the annual revenue generated by cancer drugs increased by 70% from 2010 to 2019, the revenue from non-cancer drugs decreased by 18%. In 2010, 14% of total revenue from these ten companies was from cancer drugs; in 2019, cancer drugs made up one quarter of revenue. Even worse, there is little correlation between the amount of money charged for these drugs and treatments and health outcomes: If we were getting vastly improved clinical outcomes for these expensive drugs, they might be worth the price. But in the US, the cost of cancer drugs is not correlated with clinical benefit, according to a study in The Lancet Oncology. And once the price of a drug goes above $100,000, it doesn’t matter how good the drug is — when people can’t afford it, they won’t take it. It should come as no surprise then, that big pharma and the medical establishment have absolutely no interest in pursuing low-cost treatments. Fortunately, medical professionals like Dr. Peter McCullough are committed to delivering healthcare solutions that are safe, effective AND affordable. This is exactly why Dr. McCullough and his team are digging in to the potential for ivermectin in combatting cancers. According to a new study, the early returns are promising. According to the McCullough Foundation: The study titled “A Review of Ivermectin Use in Cancer Patients: Is it Time to Repurpose the Ivermectin in Cancer Treatment?” was just published in the journal Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica – Drug Research… Based on the most comprehensive systematic review of ivermectin use in cancer patients to date, ivermectin appears to be safe—even in individuals undergoing active chemotherapy. Its broad range of anticancer mechanisms demonstrated in preclinical models, combined with anecdotal reports of cancer-related improvements, support its candidacy for repurposing as an oncologic therapy. Well-designed, large-scale clinical trials should be launched as soon as possible to properly assess ivermectin’s potential against cancer. Indeed, ivermectin in concert with mebendazole has shown even more promise in treating a wide variety of cancers. Mebendazole, an anti-parasitic like ivermectin, has been prescribed for 100 years to help eradicate parasites – which over 60 million Americans have inside their body today, according to the CDC. Safe, Effective and Affordable! If you feel off, a parasite cleanse may help you regain your health.

A really tragic and maddening story to share with you…. I wish I wasn’t covering this, but I’m going to use this platform to reach and help and maybe save as many people as I possibly can. In a horrific story, a West Virginian teen committed suicide just three hours after being “sextorted” online.  Tragic and should NEVER have happened. ‘They say it’s suicide, but it’s 100% murder’: W. Va. teen died three hours after being ‘sextorted,’ as groups like 764 target US kids https://t.co/jrni3p7KkU pic.twitter.com/M4fdDdXsEn — New York Post (@nypost) December 9, 2025 The NY Post shared the heartbreaking details: The afternoon that 15-year-old Bryce Tate was sextorted started off as a perfectly normal Thursday. The Cross Lanes, W. Va., sophomore came home from the gym on Nov. 6, scarfed down a plate of tacos prepared by his mom, then went outside to shoot hoops. At 4:37 p.m., he received a text message from a strange number. Three hours later, Bryce was found in his dad’s man cave — dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “They say it’s suicide, but in my book it is 100% murder,” Bryce’s father, Adam Tate, told The Post. “They’re godless demons, in my opinion. Just cowards, awful individuals, worse than criminals.” According to his dad, Bryce was apparently the latest victim of a vicious sextortion scheme targeting teen boys — one that law enforcement says is surging. A representative for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children told The Post the group tracked over 33,000 reports of child sextortion in 2024 alone — with nearly that number reported in the first six months of this year. Online scammers scour public social media profiles to learn about a teen, then pose as a flirtatious peer. “They acted like a local 17-year-old girl. They knew which gym he worked out at, they knew a couple of his best friends and name-dropped them. They knew he played basketball for Nitro High School,” Adam said. “They built his trust to where he believed that this was truly somebody in this area.” Within three hours of allegedly receiving the first threatening text message, Bryce had shot himself. The Post is told that the photos Bryce received were not AI-generated but most likely of a real girl who was another victim. Scammers then ask for illicit photos in return and, once they have them, extort the victim for money by threatening to show the pics to family and friends. For Bryce, that sum was $500. “My son had 30 freaking dollars and he’s like, ‘Sir, I’ll give you my last $30.’ And these cowards wouldn’t take it,” a tearful Adam told The Post, recounting his son’s final exchange. “They acted like a local 17-year-old girl. They knew which gym he worked out at, they knew a couple of his best friends and name-dropped them. They knew he played basketball for Nitro High School,” Adam Tate said of the scammer who allegedly lured his son online. “The FBI has seen a huge increase in the number of sextortion cases involving children and teens being threatened and coerced into sending explicit images online,” FBI public affairs specialist Bradford Arick told The Post of cases. If the target doesn’t have the money to send via untraceable methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency or apps like Cash App or Venmo, the extortionists threaten violence and, in Bryce’s alleged case, outright encourage the victim to kill himself “because your life is already over.” In the last 20 minutes of Bryce’s life, he was messaged 120 times, a tactic to keep teens feverishly engaged — creating a “tunnel vision to where you can’t set your phone down,” Adam said authorities told him.

Why does this article have a big old picture of John Rich for it's main image? Because all credit for this article and for the life-saving tips I am about to show you go to him. Here's the quick summary...a few months ago, John Rich attended a small local event where some agents from DHS were telling how perverts groom children online and then eventually meet up with and molest them.  Or even kidnap them. And we're not talking just a few events either, we're talking tens of thousands of times each year, maybe even hundreds of thousands. As John Rich says, as parents we would never let someone just walk into our house and do whatever they wanted to our family, we'd fight or shoot them right on the spot! But that's exactly what we do by giving them phones, iPads and social media.  And most parents and grandparents have no idea it's happening. After learning this and being floored by the scope and depravity of it all, Rich immediately teamed up with DHS to blast this out to his large audience (bravo sir, you have my immense respect!) and now I am jumping in to partner with both Rich and DHS to help blast this message ever further to our 5+ million monthly readers!

THE BIGGEST RED FLAGS (grooming & extortion) Unknown “friend” gives gifts, Robux, V-Bucks, skins, money, etc.Anyone asking to move off the gaming platform to Instagram/Snapchat/Discord/KikAnyone asking for photos (even “harmless” ones) or to turn on webcamSudden mood change, hiding phone, depression, fear of phone being taken away If your child is being sextorted right now: DO NOT PAY (it never stops)Block the account immediatelyDO NOT delete anything (evidence)Tell a trusted adult → call the HSI tip line 1-866-347-2423 or go to know2protect.gov and report RESOURCES (bookmark these tonight) know2protect.gov – DHS official hub (videos, tip sheets, request a live agent presentation)Report directly to Homeland Security: 1-866-347-2423National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or report.cybertip.orgTake It Down service (helps remove leaked nudes): takeitdown.ncmec.org This is not about scaring parents — it’s about simple, free, 5-minute fixes that make your child a “hard target” that predators simply skip and move on from. Thousands of families who watched this stream locked everything down the same night and later wrote that their kids actually thanked them once they understood the danger. You now have the exact playbook the predators use and the exact playbook law enforcement uses to stop them. Take the 10–15 minutes tonight and protect your kids. Then repost/share the video so every other parent you know can do the same. I'll end with this.... On a related note, Rich got so fired up about this he wrote a new song called "The Righteous Hunter" and let's just say it's AWESOME! Watch here: And his other song going viral right now is called "Revelation" which is about what you might expect. Watch here: Love this version too: This is the COOLEST thing I've ever seen! A children's choir sang my song "Revelation" at their school. I thought I'd seen it all, but this is the top! Thanks kids, I'm honored:) Stick with Jesus, and He'll stick with you (Let's get these boys and girls a million views:) pic.twitter.com/REFyqmNSEp — John Rich (@johnrich) February 7, 2025 Please share this article everywhere you can.
