Fraud & Audits: Because of their Battleground State status, there should be a FULL forensic audit immediately for GA, PA, AZ, MI, WI, and NV. There are enough “irregularities” that the American people deserve transparency. Maybe a Special Prosecutor?
We need a legitimate and fair result for this election so that the American people are comfortable. There are enough anomalies and irregularities that should be looked into. A forensic audit will put these issues to bed. A Special Prosecutor can get to the bottom of any illegal activities. We the People deserve no less.
I want this over with…but I want the truth. I want the real results. And I believe if ANYONE cheated, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Georgia U.S. Senate Races: Nothing is more important. Both the Democrats are out of the mainstream leftist progressives, who support the radical positions on the far left. The only “check” on a run-away left wing progressive agenda is to have a check on the Executive Branch and Congress…hence a Republican controlled Senate that would require moderation and compromise.
Give, volunteer and help in any way you can. Our way of life may truly depend on it.

Legal Group Argues Electoral College Deadlines Aren’t Constitutional and When Fraud Is Involved — May Prevent Free and Fair Elections
The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released a white paper on Friday making the case that current Electoral College deadlines are arbitrary and not set in stone, contrary to what most news outlets have reported.
The white paper says that these deadlines — Dec. 8 for disputes to be resolved and Electors to be determined, and Dec. 14 for the Electoral College to meet in person and vote in their respective states — are a “direct impediment to states’ obligations to investigate disputed elections.”
See Press Release here: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/election-integrity-watchdog-amistad-project-december-8-deadline-for-selection-of-electors-does-not-apply-to-disputed-states-301186795.html
According to the Amistad Project press release, the paper examines the history of Electoral College deadlines, which “are not only elements of a 72-year old federal statute with zero Constitutional basis, but are also actively preventing the states from fulfilling their constitutional — and ethical — obligation to hold free and fair elections. Experts believe that the primary basis for these dates was to provide enough time to affect the presidential transition of power, a concern which is fully obsolete in the age of internet and air travel.”
Trump teases 2024 run at White House event
President Donald Trump hinted to supporters Tuesday evening at a White House Christmas party that he is looking to wage a 2024 comeback campaign, the most public comments he’s made about seeking another term since losing the 2020 election.
“It’s been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I’ll see you in four years,” Trump told a crowd of mostly Republican National Committee members, who immediately erupted in cheers, according to video of the remarks viewed by POLITICO.
Trump has been privately telling advisers for weeks that he’s pondering a 2024 campaign, and some close to him think he could announce a bid in the immediate weeks ahead. But Tuesday appears to mark the first time outside those private conversations that he’s spoken about seeking a return to the White House, as President-elect Joe Biden prepares to move into the Oval Office on Jan. 20.
Trump’s interest in a comeback bid has threatened to freeze the field of future Republican presidential aspirants, hampering their ability to lay the groundwork for national campaigns at a time when he maintains tight control over the party and vast popularity among its rank and file voters.
Joe Biden is talking about civility but his left flank isn’t interested
In a speech earlier this month, Joe Biden talked about civility and lowering the temperature of the national discourse. “It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, to lower the temperature, to see each other again, to listen to each other again, to make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy,” he said. He added, “We are not enemies. We are Americans.”
Some Democrats seem surprised that Republicans aren’t convinced he means it but it’s really not hard to imagine why. If you look around there are plenty of Biden voters who are already urging him to drop the civility and fight. About a week ago the Guardian published this piece by a Princeton professor named Jan-Werner Mueller. It’s titled “End the odes to political ‘civility’. Do you really think Republicans will reciprocate?” After acknowledging Biden’s statements about civility Mueller then quickly shifts to suggesting the problem isn’t partisanship but disrespect:
“Fierce partisanship is not in itself a symptom of politics gone wrong. On the contrary: we would not need democracy if we did not have deep disagreements and divisions – which are inevitable, as long as we live in a free society. The problem arises when disagreement translates into disrespect. Disrespect doesn’t mean just being impolite; it means denying the standing of particular citizens – and, as a logical next step, actively trying to disenfranchise people. Republicans have been working towards a situation in which a combination of voter suppression and what the philosopher Kate Manne has called “trickle-down aggression” – acts of private political intimidation tacitly endorsed by Trump – shrinks the political power and relevance of many Americans in a way favorable to the interests of the Republican party.”
We had the highest turnout ever this year. Disenfranchisement clearly didn’t determine the outcome. If you follow that second link you’ll see it’s a piece from 2016 which is largely about abortion politics. Specifically, the piece argues that pro-life politics are really just a form of misogyny. A way to punish women. And already I think you can see why Mueller’s argument is really an argument against civility.
Candace Owens Challenges Fact-Checker, And Wins
“I wanted to show that these fact-checkers just lie, and they usually go unchecked because most people don’t have the money, don’t have the time, and don’t have the platform to go after them — and I have all three.”
Conservative author and commentator Candace Owens challenged left-leaning fact-checking site PolitiFact, a partner with Facebook, over a “false” rating — and won.
Not only did PolitiFact remove their “false” rating and retract an article on why Owens’ video was allegedly false, but the site offered an added “correction” admitting their fault.
Owens’ video, which was posted on Nov. 12, offered commentary on the 2020 presidential election, and was captioned, “Joe Biden is literally and legally not the President-elect. So why is the media pretending he is?”
The video was hit with a “false” rating, and, as noted by Owens, theoretically, every single person who shared the post was alerted by Facebook that they had shared “false” content.
“Weeks ago, [Facebook] censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that [Joe Biden] is NOT the President-elect. So I got lawyers involved,” she said Saturday via Twitter. “Conclusion? [PolitiFact] uncensored the post & admitted that they LIED by rating my post false. The fact-checkers are lying for Democrats.”
FBI Background Checks For Guns Surged 41% In November, Accelerated By Biden Victory
Federal background checks for gun purchases rose 41% in November year-over-year, propelled by the election of President-elect Joseph Biden, as well as Black Friday sales and a heightened desire for self-protection during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it conducted more than 3.62 million background checks last month, compared to 2.57 million in November 2019. Background checks in November 2020 were also higher than the previous month by about 10%. The FBI conducts background checks for gun purchases by federally licensed dealers, which includes all gun shops.
Last month was the strongest November since the FBI started keeping track in 1998. Mark Oliva, public affairs director for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents the gun industry, said the FBI tally of 186,645 for Black Friday 2020 was a historically strong number but it was still lower than the 2019 Black Friday figure of 202,465.

Walter Williams, R.I.P.
America has lost one of its greatest economists and public intellectuals. Walter Williams died Wednesday morning after teaching his final class at George Mason University on Tuesday. He was 84.
For 40 years Walter was the heart and soul of George Mason’s unique Department of Economics. Our department unapologetically resists the trend of teaching economics as if it’s a guide for social engineers. This resistance reflects Walter’s commitment to liberal individualism and his belief that ordinary men and women deserve, as his friend Thomas Sowell puts it, “elbow room for themselves and a refuge from the rampaging presumptions of their ‘betters.’ ”
A onetime cabdriver who grew up poor in Philadelphia, Walter knew injustice—and understood the way to fight it wasn’t by emoting but by probing and learning. In 1972 he earned a doctorate in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he learned to look beneath surface phenomena for deeper causes and consequences.
His pioneering 1982 book, “The State Against Blacks,” is an eloquent, data-rich broadside against occupational licensing, taxicab regulations, labor-union privileges and other fine-sounding government measures that inflict disproportionate harm on blacks by restricting the employment options and by driving up the costs of goods and services.
Tracking the Coronavirus. Vaccines That Will End the Pandemic
The biggest vaccination effort in history has begun. This week, the U.K. was first to clear the use of a new shot from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE. The U.S. will likely do the same, and a separate vaccine from Moderna Inc. is close behind. By the end of 2020, tens of millions of people could be inoculated. Next year: billions more.
Bloomberg is tracking nine of the most promising vaccines around the globe, from national procurement deals to shots in patients’ arms. By our count, at least 7.85 billion doses have already been allotted.
It’s enough to cover half the world’s population (most vaccines use two doses), if the shots were distributed evenly. That, however, isn’t likely. Rich countries have hedged their bets with extensive supply deals, and ultra-cold storage requirements make some vaccines difficult to deliver to far-flung places.
Other countries have struck their own paths: China and Russia authorized their vaccines in July before they’d been fully tested. Including those, a total of five vaccines are now available in limited quantities, in three countries.
