The political crisis the United States faces brings into the open a contest for the soul of our country. As important as this recent election is, the stakes transcend particular political arrangements. They go to fundamental issues about which each of us must make a choice and take a stand. A peculiarity of our current situation: While every American is intricately familiar with the pandemic and the effect it has had on our lives, this is not the case for voter fraud, despite the evidence being overwhelming. Some Americans are ignorant of these facts because they have been misinformed by a media that willfully withholds information. The reason for this might surprise you.
Republican state senators in Georgia started a push on Monday to delay the Jan. 6 counting of electoral votes. At least a dozen have signed a letter directed to Vice President Mike Pence asking him to officially delay the count—and the number is still growing.
“There’s about 16 or 18 of us now that signed this letter to the Vice President … asking him to delay the electoral vote for 10 to 12 days,” Sen. Brandon Beach told The Epoch Times.
“We were going to get it to him tomorrow morning,” Beach said, adding that more Senators might still sign on.
Beach says that he is concerned about the integrity of the election.
Kamala Harris actually said this. Phony Kamala Harris completely made up a story about how she participated in a civil rights march in Oakland, California when she was a young child in a stroller in an October interview with Elle Magazine. Harris told Elle that she had fallen out of the baby stroller and her parents didn’t notice she was gone because they were so caught up in the energy of the march. By the time Kamala’s parents realized she was gone, they doubled back and found little Kamala upset. When asked what Kamala wanted, she just looked at her mom and said “Fweedom.”
David Perdue, the Georgia Republican facing a Senate runoff election on Tuesday, has twice bought a significant number of shares in a US bank shortly after meeting with financial policy makers, raising more questions about his prolific stock trading while in office. In one case, in May 2015, Perdue bought between $15,000 and $50,000 worth of shares in Regions Financial Corporation two days after a 10-minute phone call with then treasury secretary Jack Lew. Perdue bought additional shares in the bank two years later, on 18 May 2017, two days after a half-hour meeting with then Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen.
Attorney General William Barr personally questioned the last inmate to share a cell with Jeffrey Epstein before the perv died by suicide, a source told the Daily News. The multimillionaire sex offender was found hanging from cloth tied to a bed frame early on Aug. 10, 2019, rocking the highest levels of the Justice Department. Investigators’ attention turned to Efrain “Stone” Reyes, who had been transferred out of a cell he shared with Epstein the day before the shocking suicide at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in lower Manhattan.(Snip)The 51-year-old caught coronavirus at the Queens Detention Facility last year, was released this past April and died
I. Flask Monsters What happened was fairly simple, I’ve come to believe. It was an accident. A virus spent some time in a laboratory, and eventually it got out. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, began its existence inside a bat, then it learned how to infect people in a claustrophobic mine shaft, and then it was made more infectious in one or more laboratories, perhaps as part of a scientist’s well-intentioned but risky effort to create a broad-spectrum vaccine. SARS-2 was not designed as a biological weapon. But it was, I think, designed. Many thoughtful people dismiss this notion, and they may be right. They sincerely believe
Boris Johnson is expected to announce a set of new national restrictions for England, similar to the March lockdown, in a televised address at 20:00 GMT.
The PM is likely to urge the public to follow the new rules from midnight.
It is expected people will be told to work from home if possible and schools will close for most pupils.
It is not yet clear when the measures will be reviewed, but MPs are likely to be given a vote to approve them retrospectively on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the UK's chief medical officers warned of a "material risk of healthcare services being overwhelmed" in several areas over the next 21 days.
Democratic Party leaders hoping to sweep two special Senate elections in Georgia may want to be mindful of the old adage about being careful what you wish for — lest you get it.
Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are gunning to defeat Republican incumbent Sens. David Purdue and Kelly Loeffler in the Peach State's Jan. 5 runoff election. Twin victories would give the party control of the White House, House of Representatives, and a tie in the Senate which could be broken by soon-to-be Vice President Kamala Harris.
But full control brings responsibility — and potential peril. With the party's far-Left emboldened to advance their agenda, centrist Democrats
Actress Tanya Roberts is still alive -- she is hospitalized -- despite reports of her death over the weekend.
The star's publicist mistakingly announced on Sunday that the former Bond girl had died at the age of 65.
Roberts' death was confirmed via a post on her official Facebook page, which was attributed to Mike Pingel, and multiple outlets, including TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter, reported that a representative for the star confirmed the death to them directly as well.
The US government is considering giving just half-doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to help accelerate the unexpectedly slow rollout, the program’s chief science adviser revealed. Despite a concerted effort to ramp up vaccinations over the past few days, the number of shots dispensed is still only about 4 million—a fraction of the 20 million initially predicted by the end of 2020. Dr. Moncef Slaoui of the Operation Warp Speed vaccine response told CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday that his team is keen on administering half-doses to double the available supply.
“We know that for the Moderna vaccine, giving half of the dose
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have seized a South Korean vessel “for polluting the Persian Gulf with chemicals” amid rising tensions between Iran and the US during the final days of Donald Trump’s presidency. Iranian news agencies published photos showing Revolutionary Guards speedboats escorting the tanker MT Hankuk Chemi and said the vessel’s crewmembers, including nationals of South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and Myanmar, had been detained. The tanker is being held at Iran’s Bandar Abbas port city. South Korea’s foreign ministry demanded the vessel’s immediate release and said South Korean forces stationed in the strait of Hormuz had been dispatched to the area.
The leader of the alt-right Proud Boys has been arrested on the eve of the group’s planned demonstration against certifying the presidential election results. The New York Times reported Monday evening that Enrique Tarrio was arrested earlier in the day on charges of vandalizing a black church and also found to be in possession of weapons. He had two high-capacity firearm magazines, the Times reported, and was also charged accordingly with possession of them, as well as destruction of property. The Metropolitan Police, who confirmed the arrest to the Times, accuse Mr. Tarrio of burning a Black Lives Matter banner
Washington, D.C. officials are restricting the constitutional rights of some Americans planning to gather in the nation’s capitol this week in support of President Donald Trump.According to a notice by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department anyone with a valid D.C. concealed carry license who plans to exercise their First Amendment right to peacefully protest at planned events this week will not be allowed to bring their firearms within 1,000 feet of the rally.The ban on firearms in the vicinity is in effect beginning Monday and runs through Thursday, January 7, one day after Congress is set to meet to certify the presidential election results.D.C. officials are reportedly preparing the area
President Trump on Monday suggested that the election results can't be certified due to "verifiably WRONG" numbers, and teased the release of "the real numbers" during a speech in Dalton, Georgia set for 8:30p.m. eastern time tonight. (Tweet) Trump's Monday night rally is intended to boost Republican Sens.

President Trump awarded Rep. Devin Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Monday. Nunes (R-Calif.) is the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and is well known for investigating misconduct in the FBI’s 2016 Russia investigation. Trump presented the medal to Nunes (R-Calif.) at a closed-door Oval Office ceremony attended by Republican congressmen including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), a source told The Post. Nunes’s family and staff also attended. Another pro-Trump stalwart, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), also is expected to receive the award in coming days, but a date has not been announced.
On Sunday, liberal Washington D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser lashed out as the "Stop the Steal" protests in her city of Washington D.C. are gearing up to take place on January 6th.Bowser is allegedly calling in the National Guard for the pro-Trump protests in fear of violence from Trump supporters, not the violent liberal extremists.“I am asking Washingtonians and those who live in the region to stay out of the downtown area on Tuesday and Wednesday and not to engage with demonstrators who come to our city seeking confrontation, and we will do what we must to ensure all who attend remain peaceful,” Bowser said in her statement.
Corrupt politicians in Georgia are doing all they can to prevent the forensic analysis of absentee ballots in the state.
Moments ago, Heather Mullins from Real America’s Voice reported that the hearing set for today to determine if ballots from the November 3rd election could be forensically inspected, as supported by the Georgia Senate vote, was cancelled and the case was to be transferred to another county: A few minutes after the above memo went out, Mullins reports that the hearing was derailed in an attempt to send the case to another county.
CONCORD -- A chief architect of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign predicted Monday that despite the misgivings of some of its members, Congress will uphold the Electoral College 2020 victory for President Elect Joe Biden later this week. “I don’t think you are going to see an overturning of the Electoral College. I don’t think that is going to happen,” said Corey Lewandowski of Windham. (SNIP) Trump will go on to play a major role as kingmaker for friendly Republicans in key midterm elections in 2022, he predicted. “You are going to see a lot of Donald Trump in the 2022 cycle,”
A day after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said that he would not object to the upcoming certification of the states’ electoral college votes, President Donald Trump on Monday set his sights on the potential 2024 presidential candidate for refusing to join 11 current and incoming senators in challenging President-elect Joe Biden‘s 2020 election win.
“How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG,” the president tweeted Monday morning. “You will see the real numbers tonight during my speech, but especially on JANUARY 6th. @SenTomCotton Republicans have pluses & minuses, but one thing is sure, THEY
Billionaire Jack Ma, one of China's richest men and the founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba, is suspected missing since he has not made a public appearance in more than two months, according to a report from Yahoo Finance. Ma's reported disappearance comes after he called for economic reform in an Oct. 24 speech in Shanghai, according to Yahoo Finance.

Colorado was the first state in the U.S. to report a case of the B.1.1.7 variant late last month. Researchers
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico — Mexican authorities said Sunday that a Honduran woman gave birth on the Mexican side of the border bridge linking Matamoros to Brownsville, Texas. The woman was apparently trying to reach the U.S. side, but felt unsteady when she got there and was helped by pedestrians on the Mexican side waiting to cross. The woman was identified as Leidy Hernández, 24. Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said the incident occurred Saturday afternoon on the Ignacio Zaragoza border bridge, also known as “Los Tomates.” It said authorities received an alert from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials regarding “a
An El Paso-Juárez border bridge was blocked Tuesday overnight when a huge group of Cubans and other migrants tired of waiting in Mexico showed stormed into the United States.
The migrants on that bridge showed up with high expectations that the coming Biden administration somehow had already managed to swing open the gates as promised, never mind that Trump still has a few weeks to go.
The intelligence community may grow in size in the near future. The CIA has unveiled a massive overhaul of its website to bolster its recruitment efforts. “The CIA started the New Year with a new look to recruit talented Americans to join the Agency’s foreign intelligence mission,” the federal agency said in a statement released Monday. “With a completely revamped website focused on recruitment, CIA aims to attract talent by creating an engaging, unique, and streamlined experience for applicants.” The new site features a stark and dramatic landing page with a simple message and a bold look. “We are the nation’s first line of defense.
A simple treatment for COVID-19 could be cheaper than 20 bucks — and familiar to most grade school nurses.
Head lice drug ivermectin is being explored as a potential treatment for the coronavirus following a promising new study that showed an 80% reduction in hospitalized COVID-19 patient deaths.
Just 8 out of 573 patients who received ivermectin passed away, compared to the 44 individuals out of 510 who died after being given a placebo.
An earlier study of the antiparasitic prescription drug, which costs between $17 and $43 for a course of treatment, according to GoodRx, revealed promising results in April — by removing all viral RNA within 48 hours of a single
Some 100 National Guardsmen will be in Washington this week to help support police officers patrolling protests planned by President Donald Trump supporters this week.

Hundreds of National Guard troops are being deployed to Washington, D.C., in anticipation of potential protests and rioting in response to Congress’s forthcoming vote to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
After Mayor Muriel Bowser on New Year’s Eve requested assistance from the Guard on the streets from January 5 to 7, 340 National Guard troops will be activated, according to the Associated Press.
A joint session of Congress will meet Wednesday to tally Electoral College votes. A long and contentious session is expected after a number of Republicans have vowed to challenge the electoral votes. President Trump has refused to concede
Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Gulf countries are expected to sign an agreement on Tuesday toward ending a diplomatic crisis in the Gulf after 3½ years.
The big picture: A Saudi-led coalition severed ties with Qatar in 2017 and closed their airspace and sea routes to Qatari planes and vessels, citing Qatar's alleged support for terror groups and relations with Iran. In recent weeks, Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been under pressure from the Trump administration to end the dispute.
Pennsylvania election data shows that over 432,000 votes were removed from President Donald Trump during the November election, data scientists say.
According to an analysis by the Data Integrity Group, obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times, votes for Trump—from both Election Day and mail-in ballots—were removed from the totals in at least 15 counties.
Time-series election data shows Trump’s votes decrementing in various counties at numerous time points instead of increasing as would be expected under normal circumstances. The group said that Election Day vote removals happened during the vote tabulation process in at least 15 counties,
For Dr. Lauren Westafer, the decision to get a COVID-19 vaccine was a complicated one. The emergency physician at Baystate Medical Center in western Massachusetts was one of the first to be offered a Pfizer vaccine after rollout began in December, in line with the state's distribution plan and a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation that front-line health care workers be among the first to get the shots. (Snip) But there was also a catch: After months of fertility treatment, Westafer was seven weeks pregnant. As is often the case, neither Pfizer nor Moderna
“Mealworms are very versatile. They have a nutty taste,” says Tiziana Di Costanzo, co-founder of Horizon, a small-scale edible insect farm in London.

The business now sells live mealworms and dried crickets to customers in the UK.(Snip) The farming of insects for food has been billed as the next sustainable food revolution in western countries many times over in the past few years.

The House of Representatives and the Senate on Sunday adopted rules that outline how the counting of Electoral College votes will take place on Jan. 6.(Snip)
The certificates and papers will be opened, presented, and acted upon in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama.
This is when dozens of Republicans—50 representatives and 12 senators, according to an Epoch Times tally—are planning to object to some certificates, alleging election irregularities including voter fraud and failure to follow state election laws.
That will trigger a withdrawal from the joint session and a two-hour debate, followed by votes in each chamber. Only with a majority vote from both the House and the Senate would a challenge be
All 10 living former Defense Secretaries have delivered an extraordinary warning to President Trump in an op-ed denouncing the possibility of the military becoming involved in the current election dispute.

The latest Trump freakout comes courtesy of Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger the Washington Post, who mysteriously received a copy of a recorded call between Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, and President Trump. Here’s the transcript of the call.
Nothing in the call is surprising, especially if you are familiar with the things Trump has been saying since the election and if you recognize that Trump tends to speak in a clumsy, casual manner. The WaPo selects some pieces of Trump’s dialogue to make it seem like he is asking Raffensperger to create votes and manufacture a Trump victory in Georgia.
Bertica Cabrera Morris, a business and political consultant who was born in Cuba and has spent most of her adult life in central Florida, has helped several Republican Presidential candidates with Latino outreach, among them George W.

Some won; some lost, as Trump did this fall, but not before increasing his share of the Latino vote to thirty-two per cent, up four points from 2016, according to exit polls.
Listen up, Georgia Republicans! I get it – you’re exhausted, angry and sick to death of ads warning that only you can fend off a Democrat Socialist Republic.
Here’s the bad news: those ads are true. You have the terrible responsibility, in these last remaining hours, to decide the future of our country. For the sake of the nation and of Georgia, you must get out and vote to elect Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler to the Senate.

As 2021 begins, some new trends are already emerging. Third-world political elites are privately acquiring COVID-19 vaccines and activists are advocating a social justice basis to allocate it internationally. (Snip) Even as some are cadging drugs, the Los Angeles Times reports that many American health care workers paradoxically want to refuse it. “So many frontline workers in Riverside County have refused the vaccine — an estimated 50% — that hospital and public officials met to strategize how best to distribute the unused doses.”

The mainstream media and Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, are utterly disgraceful, dishonest, and manipulative people. Raffensperger released a private phone call that the media immediately claimed – falsely -- showed Trump begging Raffensperger to fraudulently find enough votes for Trump to win. In fact, Trump called Raffensperger to try to get him to stop obstructing the fraud investigation. As Trump explained during the call, evidence proves Trump won Georgia by a massive margin, only to have victory stolen through equally massive fraud. Trump sought to avoid litigation forcing Raffensperger to do his job
The 2020 Insurrection
replies
Can we now stop calling this an election? By pretending this insurrection is a legitimate democratic process, we're playing into our enemy's hands, giving credence to the lie that a decrepit, corrupt, sickly old man, Joe Biden, has been elected president of the United States. This is not an election; it's a coup.
A coup d'état.is any "sudden and decisive action in politics, esp. one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force." Note that the definition says "illegally or by force," thus equating a rigged election with a military invasion. But election fraud is the weapon of choice for these enemies.

The Democratic Party/corrupt-media-outrage machine is in full gear after Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger leaked a phone call between him and President Trump, resulting in the claim that Trump “pressured” Raffensperger to “recalculate” the election results and “find” the votes necessary for him to win the state.Of course, that’s the spin coming from the same media that has engaged in a four-year-long vendetta against this president.The call was on Saturday, and the Washington Post had the story up Sunday, two days before the critical Senate run-off elections in Georgia, after receiving audio of the call from the Republican secretary of state.
More than 74 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump have justifiably lost confidence in the electoral system because election laws in decisive battleground states were ignored or altered outside of the legislative process.Tennesseans elected us to fight for their views and values in Washington, which certainly means upholding the rule of law, and we plan to exercise our constitutionally prescribed role of reviewing the electoral college results to ensure that those voices we represent are heard.Understandably, Americans are questioning the results of an election in which the laws designed to ensure fair and secure voting were rewritten at the last minute by unaccountable
Joe Biden has started attacking the Trump administration for not getting the COVID vaccines distributed fast enough. It’s the exact opposite of what Biden was saying before the election.
“As I long feared and warned, the effort to distribute and administer the vaccine is not progressing as it should,” Biden said last week.
As he “long feared and warned”? Who is he kidding?
Before the election, the only fear Biden expressed was that Trump was making wildly unrealistic claims about how quickly a vaccine could be developed, and that Trump was putting pressure on regulators to rush approval. “I trust
President Trump on Monday is expected to award Rep. Devin Nunes the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor, according to a report.

Nunes has been a vocal defender of the president, and an outspoken critic of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. In 2018, when Nunes was the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Trump suggested the California lawmaker should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his opposition to the investigation,
Imagine changing the rules in the middle of a football game. The halftime score is 14-12, the Raiders scoring two touchdowns while the Broncos kicked four field goals. In the second half the rules change with field goals worth seven points and touchdowns only three points. Suddenly the Broncos are ahead 28-6. Absurd isn’t it?
That’s what is happening with the reporting of COVID deaths versus vaccine deaths, the media and medical establishment now defining deaths far differently in order to push their agenda of COVID bad, vaccine good.

Reade, a former staffer for Joe Biden's Senate office, accused Biden of sexually assaulting her.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday responded to criticism over his plan to challenge the electoral college results on Jan. 6 unless an emergency 10-day audit to assess election fraud allegations takes place.
Cruz and 10 other senators announced their intention to challenge Electoral College votes from contested states over concerns that the 2020 election “featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities.”
The senator from the Lone Star State said in a recent interview that after the senators made the announcement, Democrats began urging that Cruz “should be arrested and tried for the crimes of sedition and treason.”
Several new members of the Senate on Sunday were sworn in for the 117th Congress.
The new members include Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.), and Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.).
Tuberville defeated former Sen. Doug Jones, a Democrat; while Hickenlooper defeated former Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.). Marshall succeeded former Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Hagerty succeeded former Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Lummis succeeded former Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.).

Sunday on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called into question the “legitimacy” of the Joe Biden presidency.
According to Gingrich, the 2020 presidential election “was the most corrupt election in modern times.” He argued that efforts by Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to “maximize Democratic turnout” in the election “raises enormous questions about the legitimacy of the Biden potential presidency” because it is “a direct violation” of the 2002 Help America Vote Act.“I think the Democrats focused on the election where Republicans focused on the campaign.

The Biden administration is widely expected to take a softer approach in dealing with the Chinese
