We’ll admit it—we’ve laughed at our fair share of Chuck Norris jokes over the years. However, the physique of the United States Army veteran and martial arts champion is nothing to laugh at. At 84 years old, Chuck isn’t slowing down, and he shared a video of a workout on Instagram that’s quite impressive. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Chuck Norris (@chucknorris) The Octogenarian’s Reps Looked Effortless In the video, his son walked into the gym and asked his dad what he was doing and Chuck responded, “Just warming up.” The humongous weights just move up and down like nothing. Chuck captioned the video, “Rumor has it when I finish my workout, the weights have to take a break, haha! All kidding aside, I hope you all had a great summer and continue to have a wonderful rest of your year. God Bless, Chuck Norris.” Of course, fans loved Chuck’s sense of humor and poking fun at himself. Someone wrote, “I thought it was fake until I saw it was Chuck Norris.” The classic Chuck Norris jokes abounded in the comment section. Like this one, “When normal people joke about themselves, they reveal an insecurity. When Chuck Norris jokes about himself, he reveals a new power.” And this, “One quiet morning Chuck Norris went for a swim, rode his bike and jogged for a bit. We now know it as the IronMan triathlon.” And this hilarious joke. “In his living room Chuck Norris has a Grizzly bear rug, the bear is alive but is afraid to leave. A person who claimed to know about weightlifting gave their two cents, “An amateur might look at this and assume Chuck Norris is casual curling 5 plates. But, in fact, as a weightlifting enthusiast and experienced gym-goer, I can in fact confirm that is NOT what’s happening here. You can clearly see his biceps incredibly relaxed and his triceps flexing much more. You see, Chuck Norris is not curling 5 plates. No, Chuck Norris is using 5 plates as leverage and is instead DOING REVERSE GRIP TRICEP PUSHDOWNS TO MOVE HIS ENTIRE BODY AND THE VERY PLANET BENEATH HIM. The weight is only capable of providing enough leverage to perform this movement because Chuck Norris simply told it to stay still, and the weird now refuses to move for even the entire planet out of raw fear.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Taylor Swift is arguably the biggest star in music right now. Her highly anticipated Eras Tour consistently broke attendance and ticket sales records while bringing thousands of Swifties together night after night. Among Taylor’s most devoted demographic is young girls who love everything Taylor. Last month, during a Taylor Swift-themed event for children in the United Kingdom, multiple people were stabbed. Tragically, three young girls died from their injuries. Taylor was heartbroken to hear the news and quickly released a statement on Instagram that read in part, “The loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone who was there, the families and first responders. These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to even convey my sympathies to these families.” Taylor Swift Recently Met Two Survivors At A London Show Hoping to spread some joy in a way that only she could, Taylor and her mom, Andrea, posed for pictures with two fans in London. @_samifoster You drew stars around my scars ….

The Georgia State Election Board will require that the number of ballots counted in the Nov. 5 presidential election doesn’t surpass the number of voters who cast ballots, in a move narrowly approved Monday.  The election board voted 3-2 after more than three hours of heated debate on what proponents contend was a commonsense election reform.  Bridget Thorne, who was elected in 2022 to the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, said she supported the outcome but was disappointed the vote was so close.  “I felt like it should have gotten a unanimous vote. It seems like such a commonsense rule,” Thorne told The Daily Signal. “The rule follows exactly the existing law.” Thorne added: “To say this will cause delays in election certification is just hypothetical fearmongering.” Left-leaning activist groups—including Fair Fight Action—opposed the measure, arguing that county election boards shouldn’t be allowed to investigate irregularities, as allowed under the rules change.  But some Georgia Republicans—including the top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger—opposed the change based on practical concerns of delaying certification of an election.  Ken Cuccinelli, chairman of the Election Transparency Initiative, testified in favor of the new rule at the Georgia State Election Board’s meeting, saying it sets uniform standards for counties to follow an existing law about reconciling the number of votes counted with the number of voters casting ballots. “Secretary Raffensperger is, I believe, sincere in his opposition. But he is prioritizing speed, and we are prioritizing accuracy,” Cuccinelli, a former Virginia attorney general, told The Daily Signal.  Raffensperger last week warned against the rule change, asserting that it would slow down the certification process.  “The [Georgia] General Assembly knew that quick reporting of results and certification is paramount to voter confidence and passed SB 202, but misguided attempts by the State Election Board will delay election results and undermine chain of custody safeguards,” Raffensperger said in a public statement. “Georgia voters reject this 11th-hour chaos, and so should the unelected members of the State Election Board.” Raffensperger was referring to Georgia’s election law reform, Senate Bill 202, enacted in 2021 and including a voter ID requirement for mail-in ballots, among other things.  Cuccinelli noted that most opponents of the election board’s so-called reconciliation rule were the same ones who opposed SB 202.  “There are plenty of mistakes made. You don’t even need to get to the fraud,” he said. “This will help minimize mistakes and make fraud more difficult.” Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at The Heritage Foundation, also gave expert testimony ahead of the board’s vote on the rule.  A former member of the Fulton County election board, von Spakovsky said he was surprised when opponents of the change said county boards have no authority to review when the numbers don’t add up.  “The idea that county boards are not allowed to investigate is absurd. Under the law, county election boards are fully required to run elections,” he said.  Von Spakovsky called the concerns about delaying certification “misplaced,” noting the deadline for certification remains 5 p.m. on the Monday after the election.   “I was astounded by the opposition to this rule that just says that votes cast and counted should match the number of people who came to vote,” von Spakovksy said. “The fact that anyone opposes it is unbelievable.” How about a little love for Georgia’s State Election Board members? They are standing up to the SOS, AG, and liberal media to make sure Georgia’s 2024 elections are fair, secure, and ACCURATE.Thank you @IAm_JanelleK, @RickJeffaresGA, and Dr. Johnston! pic.twitter.com/5wKKKNhHHP— Greater Georgia (@GreaterGeorgia) August 20, 2024 After the board’s vote Monday, Georgia-based Fair Fight Action spokesman Max Flugrath blamed former President Donald Trump. Flugrath said the rule was pushed by MAGA, an acronym for the Trump slogan “Make America Great Again.” Fair Fight Action was founded by Stacey Abrams, who has lost two general election races for Georgia governor. “Trump-backed Georgia [State] Election Board passes rule change that Trump allies can use to delay certification of 2024 election results,” Flugrath posted on the social media platform X, adding, “The rule change was advanced by MAGA election deniers.” The liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington called Georgia’s new reconciliation rule “fishy” and vowed to challenge it. A court could overturn the board’s decision. Or legislation passed by the state Legislature and signed by the governor could undo the decision.  “The Georgia State Election Board is trying to pass an illegal rule that would legitimize efforts to sabotage the election certification process,” the organization posted Tuesday on X.  Something fishy is happening in Georgia.The Georgia State Election Board is trying to pass an illegal rule that would legitimize efforts to sabotage the election certification process.We're objecting to this rule.https://t.co/A2tpeN9bcS— Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) August 20, 2024 Reconciling the number of voters with the number of ballots already is required by state law, although it’s not enforced by every county. Georgia Code § 2I-2-493(b) states that a county’s superintendent of elections “shall compare the registration figure with the certificates returned by the poll officers showing the number of persons who voted in each precinct or the number of ballots cast.” The state law adds that when the number of votes “exceeds the total number of persons who voted in such precinct or the total number of ballots cast therein, such excess shall be deemed a discrepancy and palpable error and shall be investigated by the superintendent; and no votes shall be recorded from such precinct until an investigation shall be had.” Under the new rule, a county’s election superintendent will transmit a reconciliation report to the Georgia Office of the Secretary of State on the total of ballots cast in each precinct and the number of voters who received credit for voting in each precinct.   “Any discrepancies in the aggregate total of ballots cast in each precinct compared to the aggregate number of voters who received credit for voting in a precinct shall be fully investigated by the election superintendent or designee,” the new rule says. “The explanation for any discrepancy shall be included in the reconciliation report.”  Early voting in Georgia will begin Oct. 15.  The Peach State has 16 votes in the national Electoral College that ultimately decides who is elected president. In the 2020 presidential race, Biden narrowly won the state over Trump, the incumbent, becoming the first Democratic presidential nominee to win there since Bill Clinton in 1992.  The post Why Vote Counting Could Be More Accurate in Georgia for Nov. 5 Election appeared first on The Daily Signal.
