Maria Bartiromo will interview President Trump on Fox Business on Sunday morning — his first since the election.The interview is scheduled to run live at 10 a.m. ET, the network said.Trump has yet to speak to the media about the election, ignoring reporters’ shouted questions at his public appearances since then.He also has yet to concede that Joe Biden has won the Nov. 3 election, tweeting Saturday that “fraud and illegality” were rampant in Pennsylvania, where he hopes state Republicans can still contest the results.On Friday, a federal appeals court upheld Biden’s win in the state, finding that the Trump campaign’s claims of fraud “have no merit.”
Newt Gingrich believes the 2020 election may be the “biggest presidential theft” since 1824 and is urging state legislatures to “demand recounts.”“The more data comes out on vote anomalies that clearly are not legitimate the more it looks like 2020 may be the biggest Presidential theft since Adams and Clay robbed Andrew Jackson in 1824,” the former House speaker said in a Friday tweet: (Tweet) On Saturday morning, Gingrich encouraged Republican state legislators to read an analysis from Patrick Basham, founding Director of the Democracy Institute and senior fellow of the Cato Institute.
A clever bar owner in New York City is borrowing a tactic from left-wing anarchists in an ongoing spat with the government over coronavirus lockdown restrictions. The pub, located in Staten Island, declared itself an "autonomous zone" as a new ban on indoor dining at bars and restaurants took effect on Wednesday.
The New York Post reported on Saturday that a sign outside Mac's Public House in Grant City read, "!ATTENTION! We hereby declare this establishment an !!!AUTONOMOUS ZONE!!!"
"We refuse to abide by any rules and regulations put forth by the Mayor of NYC and Governor of NY State," the message continued.
Since Election Day three weeks ago, we have heard from some on the Left, including the Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, resounding calls for “unity.”
Biden offered a victory speech a few days after Election Day, where he extended an olive branch to supporters of President Trump, saying "I understand the disappointment tonight. But now let's give each other a chance. It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature. And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They're Americans."
Throughout the campaign, however, Biden did not act in this cordial manner,
The liberal media seems to prove that journalism may indeed be dead with the latest “breaking news” report about Democrat Joe Biden. After four years of presenting leaked lies from unnamed sources as hit pieces on President Donald Trump, the mainstream media now seems to be shifting its tone in readiness for a journalistic vacation under a potential Biden administration. Hence, CBS Sunday Morning dropped a new kind of bombshell as the Bidens “exclusively” shared news about their pets. Not only are Biden and his wife Jill planning to bring their two German shepherds to the White House, if the former vice president is actually certified
A resurfaced video in which CNN’s Fareed Zakaria explained the “legal and constitutional” way President Trump may be re-elected even after a seeming loss has raised some eyebrows.The video, released before the election, showed the columnist for The Washington Post and host of CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” laying out the case on how Trump can remain the president “without actually winning the vote.Democrats and supporters of Democrat nominee Joe Biden, who still has not been certified as the official winner of the 2020 presidential election, expressed concern on social media as the video got fresh attention this week.

The U.S. ordered the U.S.S. Nimitz and its strike group to return to the Persian Gulf to serve in a defensive capacity as U.S. forces in the region continue to drawdown during the final weeks of the Trump administration. The action coincides with rising tensions in the region between U.S. allies and Iran after a top Iranian nuclear scientist was taken out in a highly coordinated hit this week.“There were no specific threats that triggered the return of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group,” Commander Rebecca Rebarich, spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet, said in a statement. “This action ensures we have sufficient capability available to respond

Barack Obama’s new memoir, A Promised Land, bills itself as “a riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.” (Snip)
So okay, now that Barack Obama is firmly and forever instantiated among the one percent, we might ask: What does A Promised Land have to say about, for instance, income inequality and high-end financialism? This is a particularly pertinent question because much of Obama’s presidency was defined by his relationship with Wall Street, including the bailouts, the cost of which a 2010 estimate put at $14.4 trillion.

Harmeet K. Dhillon said that former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell’s allegations in her lawsuit filed in Georgia are serious enough to change the results of the election.
“These are serious allegations. … Either of these big themes would be enough to change the election results given the narrow margin for Biden,” Dhillon said in a lengthy tweet on Thursday.

Dhillon, who specializes in First Amendment rights and election law matters, classified the allegations into two groups one is “numerous irregularities in vote-counting” based on procedure changes. The allegations under this category, according to Dhillon, include “putting ballots in the wrong stacks en masse, pre-printed ballots that were ‘pristine’ and unlined;
DES MOINES, Iowa — Democrats once dominated Koochiching County in the blue-collar Iron Range of northern Minnesota. But in this month’s presidential election, President Donald Trump won it with 60% of the vote.
That’s not because voters there are suddenly shifting to the right, said Tom Bakk, who represents the area in the state Senate. It’s because, he said, Democrats have steadily moved too far to the left for many rural voters.

John McCain's widow Cindy is expected to be selected by Joe Biden to be the US ambassador to the UK. The lifelong Republican is seen as instrumental in the Democrat winning the key state of Arizona, which hadn't turned blue since since 1996. Biden insiders have said the job is is "hers if she wants it" as she is seen as "delivering " him the state, reports The Times of London.

Three Minneapolis city councilmembers proposed a new 'Safety for All' budget plan on Friday. Councilmembers Phillipe Cunningham, Steve Fletcher and Council President Lisa Bender proposed the plan, which they say will "invest in data-driven, research-backed solutions to begin the process of transforming our public safety system and to increase community safety for all," according to a release.
The plan would help reduce the Minneapolis Police Department's burden and deliver what the release says will be "more effective and appropriate responses for people in need." (snip) To fund this plan, it calls for a cut of $5 million in police overtime,

President Trump’s disastrous mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic probably cost him re-election. Yet it seems mind-boggling that he still won more votes than any incumbent president in American history despite his dereliction of responsibility at a time of a once-in-a-century health crisis and economic devastation.
Why are President-elect Joe Biden’s margins so thin in the states that clinched his victory? And why did the president’s down-ticket enablers flourish in the turbulent, plague-torn conditions they helped bring about?
Democrats, struggling to make sense of it all, are locked in yet another round of mutual recrimination: They were either too progressive for swing voters — too socialist or aggressive with ambitious policies
Former Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to pick Cindy McCain, the wife of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. McCain, 66, a lifelong Republican and Anglophile, is credited with delivering the state of Arizona during the 2020 elections to the Democrats in the state where her husband served as Arizona’s senator from 1987 until his death from cancer in 2018, the Times of London reported.“It’s hers if she wants it,” a Biden insider told the Times. “She delivered Arizona. They know that.”Cindy McCain was one of the most outspoken Republicans against President Donald Trump during the election:

“Willie, this is Joe Biden, president-elect of the United States.” (Snip)
“Don’t you mean president of the United States?” Brown says with a laugh. “You had me worried with that business about running for the ‘U.S. Senate,’ but it worked out.”

According to the legacy media, there have been more than 250,000 deaths from COVID-19 since the so-called pandemic began. That means to the average American that there are 250,000 plus Americans who are dead today who would otherwise still be with us. Those people were killed by the virus.
That seems a matter of common sense. Is it true?

Pennsylvania Republicans showed a level of courage and patriotism woefully lacking in the establishment GOP, which is ready to dispatch Donald Trump and move on with a Biden presidency.
“This is not the United States of America, what happened.”
President Trump, in what might be considered an uncharacteristic understatement, made that remark via cell phone to a Pennsylvania State Senate committee hearing the day before Thanksgiving. The president was referring to emerging evidence that election workers in the Keystone State successfully manipulated hundreds of thousands of ballots to ensure Joe Biden won the state’s 20 electoral votes.(Snip)This is the sort of stuff American election watchers once condemned as undemocratic.
WEXFORD, Pa. — Only a few seats shy of a majority within the State Home of Representatives, Democrats in Pennsylvania this 12 months zeroed in on Republican-held suburban districts, the place disdain for President Trump ran sizzling.
Considered one of their prime targets was within the North Hills suburbs exterior Pittsburgh, that are dwelling to large brick homes, wonderful public colleges and “the fastest-trending Democratic district within the state,” in line with Emily Skopov, the Democratic nominee for an open seat there, who gamely knocked on the doorways of Republican voters within the days earlier than Nov. 3. She was half proper.
The judge who ordered Pennsylvania to not certify the results of the 2020 election wrote in an opinion on Friday that the Republicans who filed the related lawsuit will likely win the case.
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough made the assessment as part of an opinion explaining her rationale for blocking Pennsylvania’s election certification.
A group of Republican lawmakers and candidates sued the Keystone State earlier this week, arguing that the state legislature’s mail-in voting law—Act 77—violated the commonwealth’s constitution.
“Petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because petitioners have asserted the Constitution does not provide a mechanism for the legislature to allow for expansion of absentee voting
Just a few comments on this, as we dangle suspended in the Twilight Zone. Politico published Tuesday on a Marco Rubio tweet about the individuals Joe Biden has listed for his national security team, including Anthony Blinken as secretary of state, Jake Sullivan as national security adviser, and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as U.S. ambassador to the UN.
No one would mistake Rubio’s tweet for an endorsement of Biden’s selections. But it’s not a tweet that frames the issue in the useful light of reality either. Basically, we have to let our minds be ruled by lies to accept the terms of Rubio’s tweet.

TGP has a link to the affidavit of an expert consultant to Sidney Powell in her legal challenges to the election.(Snip)This is the conclusion of the affidavit that TGP quotes:
"I conclude with high confidence that the election 2020 data were altered in all battleground states resulting in a hundreds of thousands of votes that were cast for President Trump to be transferred to Vice President Biden. These alterations were the result of systemic and widespread exploitable vulnerabilities in DVS, Scytl/SOE Software and Smartmatic systems that enabled operators to achieve the desired results. In my view, the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible."
The Democrats knew what they were doing when they pushed voters to vote early.
"Vote. Please vote. Vote early. Come up with a plan to vote. Go to iwillvote.com. If we use our vote, and we use our voice, we will win," Kamala Harris exhorted in a Joe Biden/Kamala Harris Facebok campaign ad, screwing up her face and pumping her fist for emphasis.
Turns out that was great for them, but a bad deal for the voters. In fact, it was a sleight of hand comparable to three-card monte, to a lot of sad marks who gave up their right to an Election-Day vote,

Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden doesn’t appear to know how to pronounce the word Psalms, which is odd given as he’s supposed to be a Catholic.On Wednesday he live-streamed a Thanksgiving speech in which he referenced the psalmists who wrote the Bible’s Psalms but referred to them as “palmists.”The remark about “palmists” came at the tail end of his speech as he attempted to quote from Psalm 28:7.According to a written copy of his speech given beforehand to CNN — who else — this is what he should have said (pay attention to the bolded part):“On this Thanksgiving, and in anticipation of all the Thanksgivings to come,
A winner is going to be declared one way or another. I wish it wasn’t like this, but you’ll never going to convince me the Joe Biden won this race without a ton of voter fraud. The question is can we prove it. The allies of the Trump campaign have struggled to make their case. No judge is going to just toss out ballots. So far, the legal front has been a spectacle, and not in a good way. The Trump campaign did score a big win in Nevada where they will be able to present their findings. We’ll see what turns up at the December 3 hearing.

I was eleven years old in November 1960 when my father and I watched Richard Nixon concede the presidential election to John F. Kennedy. My father, a former FBI agent, shook his head. “Another victory for Mayor Daley of Chicago,” he said.
“What does that mean?” I asked.
“It means Mayor Daley stole the election,” he answered.
“Then why doesn’t Nixon do something about it?” I asked indignantly.
“Because it would tear the country apart, and no one wants that.”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t work that way,” he replied. “Nixon is being a gentleman.”
Of course, it wasn’t just my dad who felt that way.
On Friday, news broke that President Trump removed several members of the Defense Department’s civilian Defense Policy Board. This follows hard on the heels of his decision to fire Defense Secretary Mark Esper. The question is why now? I’ve heard some interesting, informal theories suggesting that this has to do with those Scytl machines in Germany.
On November 9, President Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. In some ways, as Breitbart notes, it was a “long-anticipated move”:
The relationship between Trump and Esper soured quickly after Esper preempted the president by declaring he did not support using active-duty forces to restore peace during a summer of violent riots.
On Friday, President Trump tweeted something important. He asserted that Biden must prove that his votes did not result from fraud. People scoffed, but as a practical matter, Trump is correct.
Most people know about the different burdens of proof a plaintiff carries in court. In descending order of intensity, they are “beyond a reasonable doubt,” “clear and convincing evidence,” and “preponderance of evidence.” Practically, speaking, though what do those mean?

The mainstream media, rather than cover in any real detail the serious allegations of voting fraud that were presented at a Gettysburg hearing of the Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee on Wednesday, instead mocked and dismissed the event.CNN made no effort to hide its extreme bias over the hearing in its headline which described it as a "baseless voter fraud event," "Trump invites Pennsylvania GOP lawmakers to White House after calling in to baseless voter fraud event."In addition, the story put "hearing" in quotes so as to present it as somehow not a real hearing.
