The most recent study from China on the prevalence of infection after a lockdown found no transmission of the CCP virus among people who were in close contact with asymptomatic patients, contradicting the current narrative that asymptomatic transmission plays a major role in the pandemic.
An asymptomatic carrier is someone who has not displayed symptoms after being infected, but may spread the virus to others. This is different from someone who is presymptomatic, meaning the person doesn’t feel or look sick, but eventually shows symptoms later, and does transmit the virus during that presymptomatic phase.
At a time when many Joliet area restaurants and bars are not following Governor JB Pritzker's rules outlawing indoor dining amid the coronavirus pandemic, Aurelio's Pizza has announced it is joining that group. If Aurelio kept obeying Pritzker, Joliet's long-time pizzeria at 3101 West Jefferson St. will be an empty building at this time next year, the restaurant management predicted.
Aurelio's Pizza recently announced that its dine-in restaurant is now open as of Dec. 2. Aurelio's has also brought back its buffet.
"There have been zero documented Covid cases linked to Aurelio's of Joliet," the restaurant management announced on Facebook. "We will continue to follow CDC safety guidelines
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics” — Joe BidenThis election was stolen. I don’t need the media, or Democrats, or RINO Republican Never Trumpers, or the Attorney General of the United States to agree with me. They are all either compromised, in on the scam, or blind, deaf and really dumb.Anyone who isn’t blind can see it with our own two eyes. Just ask Joe Biden. See his campaign quote above.
Aside from ousting Donald Trump from the White House, the story of the 2020 election has an unhappy ending for Democrats. They failed to win back the Senate, nearly lost the House and fell short in statehouses all across the country.
But from the botched caucuses in February to the party's wipeout on Election Day, nowhere was more miserable this year for Democrats than in Iowa. Long a focal point of the party's political universe, Democrats there are now on the brink — their losses up and down the ballot in November have made the state’s first-in-the-nation caucus status more precarious than ever.

Did Joe Biden and the Democrats steal this year’s presidential election? Polls suggest that a great many Americans, including many Democrats, believe that they did. I don’t know whether the election was stolen or not. I will say this: the Democrats went to great lengths to commit, or enable, voter fraud. To cite just a couple of examples, in a number of states, including my own, they used corrupt, collusive litigation to eliminate the minimal safeguards that prevented fraudulent mail-in votes from being submitted, like the requirement that signatures be witnessed. Why would they do this?

Think what you will of Lin Wood and Sidney Powell as lawyers – I have no idea if they’re any good at the law or not, they’ve just had some high-profile cases that went well – but as political strategists…they make fine lawyers.
I don’t know who the Democrat is who came up with the idea of convincing Wood and Powell to tell people in Georgia not to vote in the upcoming run-off, but whatever they’re paid is not enough. They may be good at riling up a crowd, but they’re really dumb when it comes to winning elections.
President-elect Joe Biden has picked California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to be his health secretary, putting a defender of the Affordable Care Act in a leading role to oversee his administration’s coronavirus response.
Separately, Biden picked a Harvard infectious disease expert, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If confirmed by the Senate, Becerra, 62, will be the first Latino to head the Department of Health and Human Services, a $1-trillion-plus agency with 80,000 employees and a portfolio that includes drugs and vaccines, leading-edge medical research and health insurance programs covering more than 130 million Americans.

A CNN “journalist” complained Saturday after first lady Melania Trump refused to be a virtue-signaling covidiot hypocrite like the network’s beloved Democrat politicians.As the first lady was walking up to Marine One with President Donald Trump to board it so that they could travel to Georgia to rally on behalf of incumbents Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, she didn’t have a mask on.Why? Because not only is wearing a mask while social distancing outdoors not required by coronavirus health restrictions — it’s also completely pointless, according to some.“There’s no need to wear a face mask outdoors if you’re not going to be near other people, experts told cleveland.com,”
Georgia’s Republican House Majority Leader Jon Burns and others are calling on the secretary of state’s office to review the absentee ballot process ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff for two Senate seats.
Burns submitted a letter (pdf) signed by over 100 state House members to encourage Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to ensure that Georgia voters “have confidence” in the state’s election process ahead of the runoff, after conflicting statements issued by Raffensberger’s office and Fulton County officials since the Nov. 3 election.
Burns and the other GOP lawmakers did not make mention of disputes over the Nov. 3 presidential election.
A U.S. voter rights group informed the Department of Justice on Dec. 3 of a link between the Nevada election emails system and a Pakistani company with ties to military and intelligence.
True the Vote requested the Nevada voter file from the secretary of state after the Nov. 3 election. The state responded with a voter file in an email, but the message was copied to Waqas Butt, CEO of Pakistani-based Kavtech Solutions Ltd.

“The fact that this company was cc’d on an email containing access to the Nevada voter registration database appears to be evidence of a breach within the Nevada Secretary of State’s email system,” Engelbrecht wrote.
Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has tested positive for the coronavirus, spent the days leading up to his diagnosis hugging supporters and spending hours inside hearings held indoors across the nation.In one of the hearings, held in Michigan on Wednesday, Giuliani, 76, even asked his first witness to remove her mask.Jessy Jacobs refused, and continues to testify despite Giuliani's request. Giuliani, the official spearheading his claims of election 'fraud', has rarely, if ever, been seen wearing a face mask.
Goldman Sachs, an icon of New York finance headquartered in a downtown Manhattan skyscraper a short walk from Wall Street, is considering shifting its asset management operations to Florida, according to a new report. Company executives have looked at possible South Florida office space near Miami, covering areas like Palm Beach County and Fort Lauderdale, people with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg News. If the plans pan out, the bank would join other New York-based financial services firms in making similar moves out of the state and to cheaper states and markets as the coronavirus pandemic spurred a wave
Deputies in Los Angeles County are not expecting to go all-out in enforcement at businesses if -- or when -- Governor Gavin Newsom's new stay-at-home order kicks in for Southern California.
LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva explained enforcement at businesses is the health department's job, not his deputies."I want to stay away from businesses that are trying to comply the best they can," Villanueva said. The county's sheriff understands these businesses have been through a lot during the pandemic.
"They bent over backwards to modify their entire operation to conform to these current health orders, and then they have the rug yanked out from under them, that’s a disservice. I don’t
Riverside County, Calif. Sheriff Chad Bianco published a video on Friday saying he will not enforce California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest lockdown orders that will devastate local hospitals, businesses, schools, and civil liberties.
“These closures and stay-at-home orders are flat-out ridiculous,” he added. “The metrics used for closures are unbelievably faulty and are not representative of true numbers, and are disastrous for Riverside County.”
Bianco said his police department will not be coerced into threatening the livelihoods, safety, and security of local residents. Instead, they will trust local citizens to protect themselves and others with “common-sense” precaution
With the entire state of California under a new lockdown and the city of L.A. under a directive that reads “All persons living within the City of Los Angeles are hereby ordered to remain in their homes. All travel, including, without limitation, travel on foot, bicycle, scooter, motorcycle, automobile or public transit is prohibited,” it might be tempting for Californians in general and Angelenos in particular to wonder if their political leaders actually know what the hell they’re doing. After all, a mere two hours after voting for last week’s countywide ban on in-person dining, L.A. County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl went in-person dining at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica.
Tensioned flared in East Akron Saturday night as a mostly white crowd upset with local COVID-19 laws that regulate private businesses and homes protested outside a Black councilwoman’s home, where her friends and family came in greater numbers to her defense. (SNIP) Many in the crowd had shirts, hats or flags supporting President Donald Trump. Some stayed in a black SUV parked on the street in front of Samples’ home. They called Samples and those who came to support her expletives, “terrorists” and “rioting trash."
Samples’ defenders called the crowd expletives, “crackers” and "fatties."

He looks like an African F. Murray Abraham. An almost completely bald Muslim immigrant from Gambia with crow’s-feet and liver spots has been passing himself off as a 15-year-old boy in order to get some tasty “refugee” perks in the British city of Coventry. Now, Coventry has a rich history involving the locals turning their backs to something nakedly obvious, and initially there were no Peeping Toms when the local school district placed the very clearly fortysomething “child immigrant” in classes alongside actual children.

It’s already been over a month since the election and there has been little movement towards fixing the results of the election to match the will of the people instead of the will of those who would cheat to put Joe Biden in the Oval Office.(Snip)Our job is to keep fighting, keep praying, and understand that God’s will must be done.(Snip)We’re learning who among us is weak or even traitorous. And if the President is reelected, which I believe will happen, then it will be clear to many that God’s will and not the will of men made it happen.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito asked officials in Pennsylvania to file briefs by Tuesday at 9 a.m. in response to a lawsuit filed by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) in a bid to overturn the state’s election results.
Tuesday, notably, is the “safe harbor” deadline that requires controversies surrounding elections to be ended so states can choose their electors before the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College. Alito initially called for response arguments by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9, before it was changed.
The Tuesday, Dec. 8 deadline could be a signal that the Supreme Court takes up Kelly’s case, which was shot down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court last weekend.

The 48-year-old left Como, in the north of Italy, and traveled 280 miles south over a period of a week.
He walked about 40 miles a day in an attempt to soothe his anger, according to the Independent.
Eventually, the man reached Fano - a beach resort on the Adriatic coast.

President Donald Trump pushed back on appeals from fringe individuals who have called on Republicans to sit out next month’s Senate runoff elections, saying that everything that Republicans have achieved under his administration is on the line, and conservatives must show up to protect what he’s built.“We built the greatest military in the world, and the better it is, the less likely it is that we’re gonna have to use it,” Trump said. “But everything we’ve achieved together is on the line on” January 5th. “If you don’t vote, the socialists and the communists win; they win,”
Now that he has been rescued from the legal purgatory that he was trapped in, retired General Michael Flynn is free to tell his side of the story and he is doing exactly that. The former head of military intelligence under Barack Obama was tapped by President Trump as his national security adviser but was set up and entrapped by corrupt FBI agents acting on behalf of James Comey in the first weeks of the new administration.In what has to go down as the worst of Trump's personnel decisions, he allowed Flynn to be forced out and removed a key asset who knew where all the bodies were buried
Fox News’ Chris Wallace very noticeably corrected Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar Sunday over his reference to President-elect Joe Biden. Wallace raised a contrast between Biden and President Donald Trump on masks — the former pushing for a 100-day mask commitment and the latter undermining public health officials’ push for masks early on in the pandemic. “If President Trump had worn a mask then and urged everyone to wear a mask then back in April the way Joe Biden is right now, wouldn’t we be in much better shape?” Wallace asked. “Well, Chris, I welcome Vice President Biden
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has made a critical decision which may signal that court's willingness to hear a controversial case attempting to flip Pennsylvania's 2020 election results.Originally, Alito set a Wednesday deadline for the state to respond to GOP Rep. Mike Kelly's lawsuit alleging that a 2019 state election reform, known as Act 77, violates both the state and federal constitutions by creating a so-called "no-excuse mail-in" voting regime. (Snip) In other words, the Tuesday deadline may signal that the Supreme Court takes Kelly's case, which was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court with prejudice last weekend.
According to Kelly's filing, (Snip) people must vote in person unless a
Georgia’s Dekalb County does not know if it is in possession of the ballot transfer forms used to record the chain of custody for absentee ballots dropped into some 300 drop boxes around the state.
The Georgia Department of Voting, Registration and Election responded to an open records request for the transfer forms from Georgia Star by writing that “it has not yet been determined if responsive records to your request exist.”
“DeKalb County and VRE are currently operating within its COVID-19 Emergency Response Plan. These remote operations and VRE’s current workload greatly impact how soon responsive records can be provided,” the response from the department stated.
President Trump said Saturday during a rally in Valdosta, Georgia, that he has worked harder in the past few weeks than he ever has in his life.“I thought we’re gonna easily win, and that maybe for the first time in a long time, I’d go take a nice little vacation for about two days and then we go back,” the president explained during the campaign rally for Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and Sen.

It may take two to three weeks to know whether Gov. Ralph Northam’s pandemic restrictions imposed before the holiday are working to stem Virginia’s rise in cases. But things aren’t looking good. At a news conference Wednesday, Northam said local health departments already are getting troubling signs: For instance, reports that whole families in Mount Rogers Health District, which includes Bristol, Galax and neighboring Southwest Virginia counties, are quarantining after exposure at Thanksgiving gatherings, he said. The governor, usually delicate with words, used a somewhat firmer tone to deliver his message. “Virginia, you know the truth,” he said. “If you
Joe Biden has continued to contradict his story regarding his role in the 2011 mission to kill Osama bin Laden, claiming he had suggested doing 'one more pass' over the compound, before telling Obama to 'trust his instincts'. The president-elect recalled the administration's discussion on whether or not to take action during Operation Neptune Spear, in CNN's new documentary, 'President in Waiting,' that aired Saturday night. 'When it came time to go or not go, the president went around the room. I think there were 17 people around the table ... and [he] said, 'what do you think we should do?'
Vaccinations in the U.S. could begin as early as Friday, with the Food and Drug Administration set to vote on emergency-use authorization for the Pfizer Inc./BioNtech SE shot the day before, an FDA adviser told NBC News. As states put in their orders for vaccines -- and began deciding who will get them first -- California set another record for infections. New York City’s outbreak continued to worsen, as North Carolina again recorded its highest infections and hospitalizations. Fatalities across the U.S. are rising sharply.
Like Scott S. Powell, I think this presidential election was marked by very obvious fraud.
Common sense, longstanding predictable voting behavior patterns in many specific jurisdictions, big data statistical pattern analysis and forensic analysis of Dominion Voting Systems machines and software, and polling place wrongdoings in the contested states don’t just reveal garden variety voting irregularities, but rather overwhelming massive voter and polling place fraud.
Slanted is the third book by Sharyl Attkisson, and as with her other two, it is a refreshing read. It is nice to know that there are still independent journalists who put fact over opinion, and she is one of those. To no one's surprise, she talks about the shift in the news, from a focus on reporting the facts to more on trying to push a narrative on the American people.
Attkisson begins Slanted by talking about George Orwell's book 1984.
I’ve spent some time reading comments to this story I wrote yesterday as well as many other legal analysts’ views on what — if anything — can be divined from the fact that Justice Samuel Alito ordered the State of Pennsylvania and other defendants to respond by December 9 to the action filed by GOP Congressman Mike Kelly seeking to declare unlawful the “no excuse” mail-in voting scheme used in the November election.
