More than three dozen House Republicans, including House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), penned a letter Friday to Attorney General William Barr asking him what he is doing to ensure the integrity of the 2020 presidential election amid allegations of irregularities.
“While each state runs its own election process, the United States Department of Justice is ultimately responsible for the integrity of federal elections. The American people must have the utmost confidence that the outcome of the presidential election is legitimate,” said the letter, authored by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX).
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), a staunch Trump administration ally, tweeted about the letter on Saturday:
As Thanksgiving approaches, Americans are facing the decision of whether to gather with families and friends, and if so, how to do it safely. But aside from celebrating with only members of your household, it's very difficult to completely avoid any risk of Covid-19 exposure. One way to reduce risk, however, is for every single guest to quarantine for two weeks before the holiday, experts say. Thanksgiving this year falls on Thursday, Nov. 26, so public health experts advise that quarantine should begin this Thursday, Nov. 12. The two-week quarantine time frame is called for because that's the length of

Republican attorneys general from across the U.S. are taking legal action in Pennsylvania to challenge mail-in ballots.
Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, and Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter spoke about the subject during a virtual press conference Monday afternoon.
“We have constantly reminded the American people that we represent and stand up for the rule of law,” Landry, the chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, said. “As such, we believe the voting system should be free of outside, undue influence.”
Landry compared President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential race to “referees getting to change the rules midway through the football game.”

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.

It actually makes a certain kind of sense that Biden, a D.C. sewer-dweller, has been pulled up by his bot-straps by the nation of open sewers and insta-potties (anywhere you crouch becomes a toilet): India.
According to a Zenger News investigative report released several days before the election, some sneaky little devil acting on Team Biden’s behalf contracted with “troll farms” in New Delhi and Mumbai to create several hundred thousand (more than 100,000 in August alone) fake pro-Biden Twitter accounts.

One of publishing’s most thriving genres of the past four years, books about President Donald Trump, is not going to end when he leaves office.
In 2021 and beyond, look for waves of releases about the Trump administration and about the president’s loss to Democratic candidate Joe Biden. Works already planned include the anti-Trump “Preventable: The Inside Story of How Leadership Failures, Politics, and Selfishness Doomed the U.S. Coronavirus Response,” by former Obamacare head Andy Slavitt. There’s a campaign book from New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns. And former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is reportedly working on a memoir.
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.
The chairman of the Texas Democratic Party said the red wave that moved through South Texas’s Starr County was due to three issues critical to Latino voters in that area: pandemic shutdowns, oil industry jobs, and abortion.
According to a report at the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Sunday, the idea that Starr County would have 8,224 residents vote for President Donald Trump is mindboggling. In 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton held a 60-point margin over Trump in Starr County, but, in 2020, Joe Biden barely slid over the edge to beat Trump by five points, making the county the largest swing to Trump of any in the United States.

But yesterday the NY Times pointed out that Democrats are actually in danger of losing three seats in California that they managed to flip in 2018.

A British member of the House of Lords derided trailblazing Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as “the Indian” in a social media post that is being condemned as racist. “What happens if Biden moves on and the Indian becomes President," John Kilclooney asked in a tweet that he later deleted. Harris, the first black woman to hold the No. 2 office in the U.S., is the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joined some of his Republican colleagues in calling for a recount, audit, and full review of the election, stating Monday morning that “fewer than 100,000 votes total” separate former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump in key swing states.“Right now — there are fewer than 100,000 votes total — out of almost 150 million cast — separating AZ, GA, WI, & PA (plus other close states like NV) with a number of lingering questions,” the congressman, who defeated Democrat challenger Wendy Davis, said.“Recounting, auditing, & a full review is necessary. Patience. #StandUpForAmerica,” he added in the Monday morning tweet:
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.

Joe Biden is not “president-elect.” Joe Biden has not won the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump’s re-election has not been defeated. Right now, Joe Biden is merely “ahead in the count” of enough states to win the presidency. But this is a contested election and we have a long way to go, probably more than a month and a plethora of legal filings, before a winner is declared.
Per our own Constitution, there is only one institution legally entitled to declare a winner in a presidential election, and that’s the Electoral College, which does not meet until the middle of December.
Let’s face the fact here and now: Biden isn’t Obama. Not only does common sense say this, but the data also says it. In following the run-up to the 2020 election, I watched polling data, voter registration data, and other key factors that would lead to the suggestion of who would win the race in Wisconsin. Let me be clear, I didn’t predict a Trump landslide. I said he would win with 285 to 295 votes, with Minnesota being a super-reach state. (Snip)in Wisconsin, data suggests that there are issues that need looking into in 5 counties
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)
Progressive Democrats and activists will be warily watching Joe Biden’s cabinet choices, US Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez said Monday—while publicly weighing in against former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. “Someone like Rahm Emanuel would be a pretty divisive pick,” Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times. “And it would signal, I think, a hostile approach to the grass-roots and the progressive wing of the party.”(Snip) “I don’t envy the Biden team. It’s a very delicate balance. But I think it’s really important to strike a good one. Because it sends a very, very powerful message on the intention to govern.”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in a lengthy floor statement on Monday declined to congratulate Joe Biden or recognize him as the president-elect and instead defended President Trump's legal fight against ballot counts showing him behind in key states. "Obviously no states have yet certified their election results. We have at least one or two states that are already on track for a recount and I believe the president may have legal challenges underway in at least five states," McConnell said. The GOP leader asserted that "in the United States of America, all legal ballots must be counted, any illegal ballots not be counted,"
Voting machines used in Michigan’s Wayne County appeared to have been connected to the internet, according to a sworn affidavit signed by a poll watcher.
At approximately 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, Patrick Colbeck observed an icon identifying an active internet connection on the screens of the computers used to tabulate and adjudicate ballots.
“All it takes to confirm the connectivity status of a Windows computer is to roll the cursor over the LAN connection icon in the bottom right comer of the display,” Colbeck’s sworn affidavit states. “When there is no internet connection, a unique icon showing a cross-hatched globe appears. I proceeded to review the terminal screens for the Tabulator
Was this election rigged? According to precedents set by our State Department, the answer is “yes.” OANN Chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion tweeted out an interesting tidbit of information that Americans, and even their own government, may find interesting. Going to the State Department’s own website, we can see back in 2004 that our government was monitoring the Ukrainian elections and, after witnessing events that took place there, qualified the election as “rigged.” Why? Because Ukraine experienced a wave of oddities that mirror exactly what happened during the 2020 election here in America.
As the campaign for Joe Biden attempts to push the General Services Administration (GSA) to approve a transfer of power, the agency said that it has not made an assessment of the situation.
“An ascertainment has not yet been made. GSA and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law,” a spokesperson with the GSA told Epoch Times on Monday morning.
The agency said that the GSA administrator, Emily Murphy, will only initiate the transition when a “clear winner is clear based on the process laid out in the Constitution.”

Biden must call for audits — recounts — or Pennsylvania electoral votes denied. Yes, it is true. Philadelphia did in fact keep poll watchers out. The baloney propaganda that they were allowed in to do their job is, as the censors of Facebook might say, “partly false.”
This election is NOT over. And most certainly President Trump should not concede.
Quite clearly, once allowed into the polling place they were told they had to stand six feet away from the person doing the counting.
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.

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.
Employees may be more likely to become infected with the novel coronavirus in an office setting rather than working from home, according to a new report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Thursday.
Public health officials interviewed about 300 people who took a COVID-19 test in July and compared the telework between those who tested positive or negative for COVID-19. “Participants were asked ‘In the 14 days prior to becoming ill, were you: Going into an office/school regularly; Working from home/teleworking; Both,”

Biden declared victory on Saturday night.
Big mistake.
Democrats took the bait. Now President Trump can go to the Supreme Court and have the elections in Michigan and Pennsylvania declared invalid. Without those Electoral College votes, Biden fails to reach 270 and the election gets thrown into the House.
President-elect Joe Biden pleaded with the American people to wear a mask as he warned that the country is 'still facing a very dark winter' despite good news Monday on the COVID-19 vaccine front. He also had a message for President Donald Trump, who continues to refuse to concede. 'This election is over,' Biden said. 'It's time to put aside the partisanship and the rhetoric that is designed to demonize one another.'(Snip) The president-elect repeated the same message over and over again onstage at the Queen theater in Wilmington, Delaware—wear a mask.
On Monday, a report was issued indicating that among 353 U.S. counties, 1.8 million more voters might have been registered than eligible voting-age citizens. Judicial Watch (JW) revealed the results of their 2020 study showing that the total in the counties of registration rates surpassed 100% of eligible voters. The eight states where state-wide registration rates exceeded 100% included Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. “The September 2020 study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves.

It’s probably the lowest thing Gov. Cuomo has ever done, and that’s saying something. On Monday morning, when everyone else was celebrating the spectacular news that Pfizer’s vaccine for COVID-19 looks 90 percent effective, Cuomo, as is typical, reverted to politics. “We can’t let this vaccine plan go forward the way Trump is planning it,” Cuomo said. “We need to fix it or stop it before it does damage.” First he let people die in nursing homes because of his ineptitude. Now Cuomo wants the body count to keep climbing because god forbid President Trump oversee a vaccine effort.
Over the weekend, I reviewed Joe Biden’s victory speech and pointed out his claim that he was going to roll up his sleeves and get to work on getting the pandemic “under control.” What was missing from his remarks was any hint about what he was going to do to accomplish this. I somehow doubt Uncle Joe reads Hot Air, but he came out yesterday with an attempt to answer the questions I raised. He set forth a few of the steps he planned to take in terms of the virus, at least in general terms, along with naming some people he planned to assign to his pandemic “working group.”

The NeverTrump Never Again
replies
NeverTrump was a loose term for lots of different Republican apostates. First, were a small cadre of self-described conservatives and doctrinaire Republicans, who under no circumstances would have ever voted for Trump or embraced his agenda, or in some extreme cases, ever voted for any who would vote Trump. So there are gradations of NeverTrumpers. But mostly the general pique comes down to cultural, comportment, class—and often careerist—concerns, rather than policies per se. After the election, we can now see better the contours of who and what these NeverTrump cliques were.
The Hardcore - Give the hardcore tiny credit for consistency: they hated candidate Trump.
The True Deplorables
replies
With the manufactured “news” that Pennsylvania and Nevada have been called for Joe Biden by news media, liberals celebrating the supposed victory of the purported 46th president took to the streets in euphoria and revelry. It seems logical to assume that many of today’s celebrants were also participants in the street protests four years ago when Donald Trump beat their gal Hillary.Hillary Clinton made the fatal mistake of revealing the way she truly thought of half of the American population that supported Trump by calling them “a basket of deplorables.”

When Joe Biden was declared president-elect Saturday morning, Melissa Bland hustled to her computer to price airline tickets from Florida to Washington to attend his Jan. 20 inauguration. Bland found a few available seats but waited until Saturday afternoon to book her flight. By then, the fares had gone up $100. And the only hotel availability she could find in downtown Washington was at the Hilton Garden Inn in Georgetown for a nonrefundable $700 a night. “Shoot, it’s worth it,” said Bland, a 43-year-old high school teacher from Fort Walton Beach. “I’m only staying there one night. It’s my first
Former Vice President Joe Biden is preparing a bevy of executive orders to issue on his first day in the White House that will reverse some of the key policies of the Trump administration.Biden, whom the Associated Press declared president-elect on Saturday, has already tasked his transition team with focusing on how to leverage the “executive power” of the Oval Office, according to the Washington Post.Some of the orders that Biden plans to issue deal with hot button topics like immigration and national security.

Now that the media have declared the election over and Joe Biden is president, the left is busy trying to conjure up a mandate for his administration. But if there is anything clear in this disaster of an election, it’s that Biden and his band of socialist Democrats have not been ordained to do anything.
On Friday, Biden said his voters have “given us a mandate for action on COVID, the economy, climate change, systemic racism.” On Sunday his deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said that Biden had “campaigned on an incredibly progressive and aggressive agenda” and that “he’s going

I was a big fan of James Woods’s work as an actor long before he started sharing his political views. (snip) But since he has outed himself as a conservative in Hollywood, much of his best work appears on Twitter. Yesterday, he was almost poetic in a tweet that provided the best possible analogy to understand the behavior of the media proclaiming that Biden “won” the election.
We and many others were warning months ago that the Democrats were going to try to steal the 2020 election. When the counting, recounting, and lawsuits are done, they might well have succeeded. It’s simply in their nature to do whatever they believe is necessary to further their agenda.
The belief in one’s own moral superiority eventually erases the conscience. After all, if one is morally superior to others, then no conscience is needed. All actions and behaviors are acceptable because they’re done in an effort to make the world a better place. C.S. Lewis explained this in his 1948
The Coming Purge if Trump Loses
replies
The 2020 presidential election is the stuff of banana republics as the ruling class loathes the boss and is trying to steal the election in broad daylight. (Snip) Will the new Democrat regime just “move on,” to borrow a phrase that Democrats used after Bill Clinton’s impeachment? Fat chance.
This will only embolden the left to begin a “purge.” Google the word purge and the most hits are for the famous purge in the old Soviet Union under Stalin, as History.com describes,
The leader of Communist Russia, Joseph Stalin, was paranoid of opposition. It was this paranoia that led to the Great Purge where millions of people were executed

First, let me start out by reminding the goose-stepping list-makers of the left that my last name contains two H’s. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that it was me who supported President Donald Trump and not some other guy.
I write this in Las Vegas, where I answered Ric Grenell’s call to come out and help with the Nevada post-election chaos. I’m not going to talk about specifics here, but I’ve seen individual and systemic irregularities that are sometimes shocking.
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.
I t looks as if control of the Senate will be determined by a pair of January runoff elections in Georgia.
Democrats insist they will win both seats and tie the Senate 50-50 (with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie). But history is not on their side.
Republicans have won every statewide runoff vote in state history, an unbroken string that started in 1992.
Democrats counter by saying that Georgia is changing, and record turnout of mail-in ballots made the difference in giving Joe Biden his current lead in the state.
Political groups have already spent over $173 million on the Georgia Senate races this fall.
Deplorables Don't Riot

For months, the media has warned us that a narrow Joe Biden victory in the presidential election could lead to civil war. President Donald Trump would refuse to accept the result and his supporters would resort to violence. Well, the first part seems right; Trump is clinging on to the bitterest of ends. The second part, however, is wrong — so far, at least.
There have been no outbreaks of Trumpist violence. The Proud Boys are not marauding the suburbs and ‘pivot counties’ with AR-15s. Buildings are not being set on fire. Yes, there have been entirely (not just ‘largely’) peaceful protests.
It is remarkable watching the Democrats — the party of litigation and trial lawyers — attacking the Trump team for challenging election results and filing court challenges. Through four years of the Trump presidency’s first term, the Left ran to the courts to challenge virtually every presidential initiative, every executive order, every policy. They ran to the courts to protect illegal immigration, to protect the illegal violations of Sanctuary Cities, to attack, attack, attack. They knew and know where to find their Clinton-Obama judges, in federal districts in the Ninth Circuit and elsewhere, and they played the courts like a fiddle to get rulings they wanted. They ended up
Despite what Fox News might think, this election—as it drags ever closer to unreality—is not decided by Fox News.
On Election Night, Fox News Channel’s decision desk “called the House,” saying Democrats would gain five seats. This happened while Californians were still voting. Why does that matter? Because there are four districts in California that Democrats won from Republicans in 2018 and which Republicans were trying to retake. They are likely to win at least three of them.
In all, a source close to House Republican leadership says the GOP is likely to go into the next Congress with between 210 and 214 seats.
There’s more evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election than there ever was of Russia collusion, so America is owed a legal examination of the election irregularities alleged by the Trump campaign.
It’s not crazy to say this, despite the gaslighting from much of the media.
Basically, the election is down to roughly 120,000 votes of almost 150 million votes cast.
That’s 0.08 percent, a tiny margin by anyone’s reckoning.
Recounts have been ordered. The Trump campaign is challenging hundreds of thousands of votes in the courts.
James Madison’s, Alexander Hamilton’s, and certainly Ben Franklin’s ghosts are laughing as their genius in founding the Electoral College is likely to be vindicated. (snip) America was here before. It was Rutherford Hayes against Samuel Tilden. Nobody had enough Electoral College votes, so it went to Congress to decide. (snip) State legislatures in six or seven or more states, run by Republicans, have a choice (snip) If even one state or two fail to certify, the election goes to Congress.
Joe Biden may have wound up winning a stay in the White House, but we continue to see signs of fallout further down the ballot indicating that he may have been an outlier. The progressive agenda and some of its more vocal Democratic supporters took a beating around the country this week. The latest example comes to us from the Big Sky State. There was a referendum on the ballot in Montana that would prevent local and municipal governments from passing laws restricting gun ownership and portability beyond the limits of state and federal gun control laws already in place.

after Trump outperforms polls: 'Sell real estate' 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.
So, yesterday, at my monthly dinner with my fans and commenters on my blog, I found out that I’m not alone. What am I not alone in? [Snip] I’ve been alternating between angry and depressed, and frankly, from what I saw of my fans and commenters, I’m not alone. And then today I went to Facebook, and lately, they’ve been doing this thing of pushing all sorts of outright propaganda at me. This one was an article about the great future of reconciliation (and truth tribunals) once Joe Biden takes over. And there at the end, almost invisible, was one line: based on projected results.
It’s unclear if the point on the 2020 election timeline has been reached that allows for serious discussion of legal challenges around what the Trump camp is suggesting looks like widespread fraud. Too early and the newly gracious and delicate media will revert back to hurling invective, painting those giving such insane notions quarter as mad and pathologically incapable of just letting a legitimate loss go. But the Trump administration’s legal challenge — and his legal team has shown amazing resolve in revealing only little bits here and there — is starting to take shape, and it could put as many as 94 electoral college votes
