Stunning Facts: Lord Mark Malloch Brown, a George Soros lieutenant, whose company Smartmatic, is intimately tied to Dominion Voting Systems who flipped votes from Trump to Biden. Brown was also named UN #2 – Deputy Secretary General on March 3rd, 2006, and also former VP of the World Bank. His machine was used in all the swing states. Could this help explain the MI 200,000 vote sudden dump of Biden ballots, while WI got 100,000 late night delivery?(Snip)Smartmatic & Dominion Failures: CBS News reported in 2019, “The voting machine lobby, led by the biggest company, ES&S, believes they are above the law,” said Sen.

RUSH: Folks, here’s where we are with this. It is vital that our constitutional framework be protected.(Snip)The Founding Fathers of our country knew that there would always be intense political battles. They created defense mechanisms and insurance policies as best they could, starting with creating three branches of government to ensure a government of law, not of men.(Snip)There are checks and balances throughout our system.(Snip)But there needs to be very clear, specific facts presented in a scholarly and concise way.

Trump campaign expands lawsuits in strategy

As the Trump campaign expands its lawsuits--including new filings Wednesday in Georgia and Pennsylvania--legal scholars say they are likely rooted in the Constitution's voting law authority, which limits the power of non-legislative actors trying to assert their power over balloting.(Snip)The Elections Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 4) gives state legislatures the authority to set the time, place and manner of federal elections, i.e., the rules governing the election process, including absentee ballots. Republicans say this legislative power has been eroded by both executive and judicial mission creep.
The Trump campaign on Monday warned that Democrats are seeking to “delegitimize Eletion Day results” and “create a smoke screen by casting blame all around.”(Snip) “We are aware that Democrats have already cut television ads they are prepared to deploy to further cement the ‘Red Mirage’ misinformation, seeking to convince people that all Joe Biden would need for victory is more time, extending well beyond Election Day. At the same time, we fully anticipate that Democrats will be in court arguing to extend deadlines for accepting and counting votes mailed and received well past deadlines enacted by individual state laws.”

Masks have become a political tool and a talisman. When COVID-19 hit, governments panicked and created enormous fear. The Centers for Disease Control currently estimates a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.99 percent for people younger than 50, but the damage created by the panic was too great to undo. It is likely that some politicians eventually realized their mistake and needed a way to back-pedal without admitting their lockdowns were a policy disaster. Their solution was for people to put any old piece of cloth across their face and magically believe that it’s okay to go out shopping again.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett officially became Justice Barrett following a private ceremony in the Supreme Court's East Conference Room Tuesday morning. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the Judicial Oath to Barrett, officially making her the court's 103rd associate justice. "Upon administration of that oath, she will be able to begin to participate in the work of the Court," the Supreme Court said in a press release, adding that a "formal investiture ceremony will take place at a special sitting of the Court in the Courtroom at a later date."
A “Jews For Trump” vehicle convoy was repeatedly attacked and heckled as it made its way through New York City Sunday to show its support of the president, video shows. The convoy took place in several Orthodox Jewish communities ahead of a planned event in Brooklyn’s Marine Park organized by Boris Epshteyn, an advisor to the Trump campaign and co-chair of Jewish Voices for Trump, the Jewish Telegraph Agency reported Friday. Multiple video clips of the convoy posted on @NYScanner show crowds not taking too kindly to rows of vehicles with hoisted Trump 2020 flags.
A group of leading Hasidic (‘ultra-Orthodox’) Jewish Rabbis have signed and released a letter effusively praising Donald Trump for his support for religious freedom, particularly in light of government shutdowns.(Snip) “You have given a powerful voice to what all good people know beyond any doubt: that now, more than ever, we must turn to Almighty G-d, fortifying our faith and staying true to our values in the face of these current tribulations,” continued the rabbis. “You understand, Mr. President, that it is our faith in G-d that will keep us strong and lift us out of this calamity,” wrote the rabbis.
The Trump administration led a 32-nation signing ceremony of a declaration that affirms there is no international right to abortion. The declaration serves as a rebuke to the pro-abortion rights U.N. and World Health Organization (W.H.O.). It states the nations join to promote women’s health as well as the “strength of the family and of a successful and flourishing society.” The governments also affirm “the essential priority of protecting the right to life.” The nations that signed onto the declaration, which represent 1.6 billion people, also “reaffirm ‘all are equal before the law,’” and that “human rights of women are an inalienable,

Target Trump Supporters if Biden Wins 18 replies
Members of the professional left are now proposing a ‘truth and reconciliation commission’ to shame Trump supporters if Joe Biden wins. These would be the same people who have spent four years calling Trump an authoritarian, a dictator, a fascist, a cult leader, and worse. Those same people are now proposing Orwellian forms of public shaming for having the ‘wrong’ views.(Snip) Make no mistake about what is being suggested. These people are talking about a vindictive form of retaliation for wrongthink. Tucker Carlson highlighted this on his show last night and included a segment from MSNBC where the subject is discussed.

Cindy McCain, a member of presumptive President-Elect Joseph R. Biden’s transition team, said Monday she’s helping look for “good” Republicans to serve in the new administration. Ms. McCain, the widow of the late GOP Sen. John McCain of Arizona, said she’s “proud” to serve on a transition team advisory board. “My job is to help put good Republicans into places within the administration,” Ms. McCain said on ABC’s “The View.” “This is an administration that’s going to be all-inclusive and there is a role for Republicans in the administration.” Ms. McCain had endorsed Mr. Biden and appeared in a video
Ratings for Fox News have tumbled significantly over the past week since the network called Arizona for Democrat Joe Biden on Election Night and has since joined other outlets in declaring him the winner of the 2020 presidential election. “Fox News’s audience plummeted yesterday after Biden became president-elect. During the Biden/Harris speeches, Fox had three million viewers, the lowest total of any network,” wrote Michael Grynbaum in an “Updates” column in The New York Times. (Video)
In a series of tweets congratulating Democratic voters for backing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in their White House run, former first lady Michelle Obama chastised the more than 70 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump, claiming that their votes meant supporting "lies, hate, chaos and division." In a Nov. 7 tweet, Mrs. Obama praised Biden and Harris and claimed they were "headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House," even though the election has not been decided
Democrats are moving quickly to seize power after the media crowned Joe Biden on Saturday and a campaign to shame Republicans into forcing President Trump to concede is underway.With Trump preparing to make his case that the election was influenced by fraud in a number of Democrat-controlled states and cities, the resistance is turning up the heat on already weak-kneed and squeamish GOP members who haven't exactly rushed to defend their POTUS. On Sunday morning, the "news" shows that serve as launching pads for the week's official talking points were an overflowing sewer of Democrat propaganda with the usual cast of subjects being trotted out to
Top Republicans in Washington are reluctant to call Joe Biden the president-elect publicly, fearing a rebellion by grassroots conservatives loyal to President Trump that would sink the party’s Senate majority.
Republican insiders privately concede Biden ousted Trump and dismiss suggestions voter fraud, ballot errors, or other issues would be uncovered sufficient to alter the election. But with the president claiming otherwise and two Georgia runoff elections set for January that will decide the Senate majority, plus midterm elections in 2022, most congressional Republicans are backing Trump. The move is purely transactional.
The Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud has resigned after Attorney General William Barr authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue 'substantial allegations' of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite little evidence of fraud. Richard Pilger will step down from the post within hours, according to an email he sent to colleagues that was obtained by The New York Times.(Snip) Pilger, whose 25-year career has been devoted to election crimes and public corruption, told his colleagues in the email on Monday evening that he was quitting, in a sign of how worried

after Trump outperforms polls: 'Sell real estate' 35 replies
Republican pollster Frank Luntz told Fox News’ "Media Buzz" on Sunday that the credibility of his profession has been irreversibly damaged after President Trump outperformed polls for a second straight presidential election.
The Veteran pollster told host Howard Krutz that that public opinion surveys significantly underestimated Trump’s support again, and urged those responsible for botching back-to-back presidential elections to seek a new profession.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top disease expert, warned last month that President Trump was “asking for trouble” by holding large rallies amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but has so far been silent on celebrations being held nationwide over President-elect Joe Biden’s projected win.
Fauci, 79, made the comments during an Oct. 12 interview on CNN to discuss Trump’s decision to hold campaign rallies despite having recovered from COVID-19.(Snip for tweet) “We know that that is asking for trouble when you do that,” Fauci told host Jake Tapper.
CBS announced a new diversity pledge Monday that will have a visible impact on its staple of reality shows: All future casts will contain at least 50 percent Black, indigenous and people of color. That means hits like Survivor, Big Brother, and Love Island will be far more diverse starting with the 2021-2022 season. "The reality TV genre is an area that’s especially underrepresented, and needs to be more inclusive across development, casting, production and all phases of storytelling," said George Cheeks, president and chief executive officer for the CBS Entertainment Group.
As political tensions continue to rise amongst Americans, tensions are even higher in Washington.Monday morning, it was reported that the Trump Administration is refusing to sign documents allowing the Biden Campaign to begin the "transfer of power" process.Every incoming administration has been allowed a federal stipend to begin taking over office space and putting their own employees in nearly every federal agency - that amount this year is nearly 10-million dollars.The reluctance to sign such documents is no surprise, given the fact that Joe Biden has no officially been named as the President Elect, but only, the projected President Elect.
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nevada — President Trump's Nevada legal team beefed up its legal challenge to mail-in ballot signature verification in the state with startling claims of voter and ballot fraud.
Among the allegations: dead voters, votes from thousands who no longer live in Nevada, and a van marked "Biden-Harris" full of opened mail-in ballots.
Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is helping Trump's legal effort in the state, detailed grievances that the campaign has with mail-in ballot signature verification in Clark County, Nevada, which accounts for the vast majority of voters in the state.
Attorney General Bill Barr has authorized a Justice Department probe of allegations of “voting irregularities” — despite little evidence of voting fraud in the 2020 presidential election, a report said Monday.The Associated Press reported the move by Barr Monday evening, but did not provide specifics on what the probe would focus on or what allegations they would investigate.President Trump and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani have repeatedly made broad allegations of voter fraud in a number of states, but have not provided evidence for their claims.Trump has filed lawsuits in a number of states that he either lost to former Vice President Joe Biden or is

Is closure of polling places a COVID-19 “coincidental” hardship on voters, or a politically “convenient” hardship on voters? Perhaps a “mixed bag?”
