Readers, remember when the legacy media broadcast a story about a major study showing President Trump’s summer rallies acted as potential “COVID superspreader events,” and I pointed out that, like with climate change, models (essentially, algorithmic projections) were used to come up with those “statistics”? Well, in another piece from back in October, Stacey Lennox from our sister site PJ Media brings the receipts on the real reason why the number of coronavirus cases appear to be “spiking,” and it’s become even more relevant this week, as the legacy media’s reports increase to a hysterical pitch leading up to Thanksgiving. Stacey writes: (emphasis added)

President Donald Trump really wants to be president and continue to serve.
But he also knows that the battle underway is contentious.
So it says a lot about him what he just did. Democrats and anti-Trump people have been threatening the GSA head Emily Murphy for the past two weeks, demanding that she authorize the transition to Joe Biden, claiming that he is the president-elect despite the ongoing legal challenges in the case and that there have been no official determination yet by the Electoral College.
Murphy just released a letter saying that she was going to go ahead with authorizing transition monies and resources for Biden despite the fact

More than two weeks after clinching electoral victory, President-elect Joe Biden can finally start his formal transition to the White House. The General Services Administration formally recognized Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election Monday, allowing his team to get working on the logistics of the transition, with President Donald Trump announcing the move in a tweet. The president also said he was not conceding.
By law, the president-elect cannot access federal transition funds or contact federal agencies to plan staffing until the GSA recognizes an electoral winner.

ALBANY – New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo abruptly canceled his Thanksgiving plans Monday, less than two hours after revealing he planned to spend the holiday with his mother and two of his daughters.
During a radio interview Monday around 3:45 p.m., Cuomo revealed his "current plan" for the holiday: His 89-year-old mother, Matilda, and two of his three daughters, Michaela and Cara, are planning on joining him in Albany.
Cuomo's gathering would have complied with his own order limiting gatherings at private residences to no more than 10 people, a measure meant to stem the further spread of COVID-19 in New York.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Monday criticized President Trump’s legal team over their chaotic press conference last week that failed to provide any evidence to back up their claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
“You call a gigantic press conference like that — one that lasts an hour — and you announce massive bombshells, then you better have some bombshells,” Limbaugh said during his show on Monday. “There better be something at that press conference other than what we got…I talked to so many people who were blown away by it, by the very nature of the press conference. They promised blockbuster stuff and then nothing happened

President-elect Joe Biden is set to tap former Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen for Treasury secretary in his administration, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
Yellen, 74, became the first woman to head the central bank after her Senate confirmation in 2014 and would also be the first female Treasury secretary should she be confirmed to the cabinet position. Democrats hope some members of the Senate’s Republican majority will vote to confirm Yellen, a less progressive choice than other names that were floated for the position, including Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Bloomberg News published an editorial today arguing that canceling student loan debt would “backfire on Biden.” That’s because while it purports to be a progressive step forward and is backed by Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer, canceling student debt (or some portion of it) really winds up mostly benefitting people at the top. No matter how it’s designed, student-debt forgiveness is very poorly targeted. A lot of the money tends to go to the relatively well off, who are more likely to attend college and hence to have debt. Consider the $10,000 proposal: An analysis by the Urban Institute suggests that it would cost almost $370 billion

The Texas National Guard has been deployed to El Paso to help manage the number of bodies at morgues due to the coronavirus pandemic. El Paso is a hot spot with a spike in cases. The border city has received the help of a 36-member team from the Texas National Guard to help out in the morgues. The Texas National Guard team replaces jail inmates who were being used, volunteers who helped move bodies. In El Paso, 855 people have died since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, 300 since October. Local leaders are offering increased pay to try and recruit more morgue workers.

The prominent diversity consultant Robin DiAngelo raked in $12,750 for a speaking gig last month at the University of Wisconsin—70 percent more than the other keynote speaker, black female author Austin Channing Brown.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Division of Diversity, Equity, and Educational Achievement paid Channing Brown just $7,500 for her keynote address at its annual Diversity Forum, receipts obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. The payments were negotiated with the Harry Walker Agency, a New York-based speakers bureau that represents both women.
DiAngelo has called such inequitable treatment the racist heart of capitalism

We’re seeing some states now really cracking down on renewed Wuhan coronavirus rules especially places with crazy Democratic governors like Gavin Newsom in California and Andrew Cuomo in New York. As my colleague Kira Davis explained:
Last week Newsom and the state he presides over was the subject of pervasive ridicule after he released his new rules for Thanksgiving gatherings. The rules include ridiculous edicts like single-serving meals, dining outdoors, replacing masks in between bites, and limiting attendance to “no more than three separate households.” We can also sing or chant but only if we wear masks and only if we keep the volume to the level of a soft

Joe Biden will nominate former secretary of state John Kerry for climate czar in his presidential cabinet, the Biden-Harris transition team announced on Monday.
If approved by the Senate, Kerry would fill the post of “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate.” The position would be the first post in a presidential national security cabinet to deal with climate change. “America will soon have a government that treats the climate crisis as the urgent national security threat it is,” Kerry wrote in a Twitter post. “I’m proud to partner with the President-elect, our allies, and the young leaders of the climate movement

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Saudi Arabia over the weekend, a senior Cabinet minister told local media, signaling a potential major breakthrough for Israel as it strives for acceptance in the region. Various local news outlets and Axios, citing Israeli sources, reported Monday that Netanyahu had met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a visit with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — the first known meeting between the two leaders.
On Israel's Army Radio, Education Minister Yoav Gallant congratulated Netanyahu on the "remarkable achievement"
