MASSIVE SOFTWARE "GLITCHES", DELIBERATE FRAUD THROUGH SOFTWARE ALGORITHMS TO SHIFT VOTES TO BIDEN
"There has been a massive coordinated effort to steal this election... more than 450,000 ballots in the key states... miraculously only have a mark for Joe Biden." Six states with 79 electoral college votes give Biden an edge of just 269,715 voters. Wow.

A Stolen Presidential Election in the Nation’s Election Fraud Capitol
The corruption of Philly Democrats is worse than you can imagine.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.
In October, someone got away with a laptop and USB drives full of encrypted data at the warehouse where Philadelphia's voting machines are stored.
Philadelphia city officials swiftly assured voters that there was nothing to worry about because all the data was encrypted. Meanwhile, a local reporter was able to enter the warehouse and stroll around the voting machines without anyone in the warehouse stopping him. Others had noted that accessing the USB slot for the voting machines was surprisingly easy.
But there were bigger problems at the warehouse than that. The serial numbers on the voting machines didn't match election records. In a familiar story, officials blamed clerical errors.
And there were a whole lot of errors.
The new voting machines had been incorrectly recording votes. In a previous election, Northampton County voters who voted Republican suffered a "weird technical glitch" in which votes cast for Republicans instead went to the “instructional text box”. The manufacturer blamed the problem on "human error" and claimed that it only affected some 30% of machines.
Northampton County, one of the bellwether counties, was said to have flipped for Biden. The margins in some key precincts were between “a handful to hundreds of votes.”
There were problems with 366 of the same model of voting machines in Philly.
According to the manufacturer, voting machines only accept "certified and approved USB flash drives containing encrypted data", which had apparently been stolen before Election Day.
The same month that the laptop and USB drives were stolen, elsewhere in the state, an elections judge in Allentown was charged with, "insertion and alteration of entries in documents, and prying into ballots".
The judge, the Reverend Everett E. Bickford, or Erika, who now wears flowers in his hair and heavy makeup, along with a clerical collar, was hauled into court, but went on working as an election judge. Officials promised to watch him closely on Nov 3.
The current numbers claim that Biden beat Trump in the Reverend's 3rd Ward by 522 to 173.
The media amplified stories about election fraud in Pennsylvania largely when it affected Democrat primaries. That same media is vocally denying that there could be any fraud now.
Why would anyone think there could be any fraud in the nation’s election fraud capital?
In '86, Councilman Lee Beloff, the son of a judge, was charged alongside his legislative aide, and mob boss "Little Nicky" Scarfo, with extorting $1 million and an apartment for his mistress.
Less glamorously, Beloff was also indicted, along with his wife and two Democratic committee members for " conspiracy, voting more than once and giving false information on voter registrations to elderly people living in a nursing home."
Beloff had previously received a gubernatorial pardon for interfering with a poll watcher so he could run for public office.
After serving 6 years of his 10 year sentence, Beloff got out and became a Democrat ward chairman.
“We stay loyal to our people,” a local Democratic ward leader said.
A photo last year from the Philly Public Record shows a meeting of the "combined 39th Ward Democratic organizations".
One of the photos is titled, "A South Philly Classic" and features Lee Beloff and Ozzie Myers.
Ozzie Meyers, a former Democrat Congressman who had been convicted of bribery and conspiracy, and spent three years in prison in the Abscam scandal, was indicted again this year for "conspiring to violate voting rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections, bribery of an election official, falsification of records, voting more than once in federal elections."
Domenick J. Demuro, an election judge in the 39th Ward, pled guilty to having "accepted bribes in the form of money and other things of value in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates on the voting machines in his jurisdiction and for certifying tallies of all the ballots, including the fraudulent ballots."
Why wouldn’t you trust these guys?
As Judge Scirica noted in his ruling, voter fraud, "including the practice of voting dead or non-resident citizens, is no stranger to Pennsylvania, especially to the City of Philadelphia."
"Hispanics would sign anything," Democrat campaign workers joked in the case that would lead to the state's biggest absentee ballot fraud case. So of course it came out of Philly in the 90s.
William Stinson, an assistant Deputy Mayor to Mayor Ed Rendell, was running for a State Senate seat with Democrat control of the Senate at stake. A poll showed him 4% behind his Republican opponent and he allegedly ordered campaign workers to get black and Latino voters to sign absentee ballots.
Campaign workers were given a buck for every ballot, which they "helped" voters fill in.
Not satisfied to settle for actual voters, evidence was heard in court that workers had filled in the names of dead people and prison inmates.
When the votes were counted, Stinson had won a staggering 80% of the absentee ballots. The Republicans smelled a rat and The Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed voters and found 220 irregularities and 24 instances where documents were forged. Mostly minority voters were told to check boxes, vote on behalf of family members, and misled into voting for the wrong man.
In one investigation of the 37th Ward, only 15% of the absentee ballots had been legally cast.
"There were probably mistakes made by workers not understanding the rules of absentee ballots," Rick Bloomingdale, the executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party and future AFL-CIO boss, argued. "It was all intended to increase voter participation."
A federal judge removed Stinson and replaced him with his Republican opponent, who had been winning before the absentee ballots arrived, accusing the Democrat candidate and the Philadelphia County Board of Elections of a "massive scheme"
A state investigation led to charges against Stinson and two Democrat campaign workers. Stinson admitted to unlocking voting machines and opening absentee ballots, but claimed he never actually looked at them.
A judge took mere minutes to acquit him.
How could anyone possibly believe that there’s anything rotten in Philly? Multiple trials, indictments, and judicial rulings, decade after decade, don’t prove a damn thing.
Except that there’s no such thing as an honest election in Philly.
Some Democrat municipalities at least take pains not to look crooked. That’s not the sort of thing they go for in Philly. That’s why you can see that photo of Beloff and Myers in the Public Record, whose motto is, "The Good Things We Do Must Be Made a Part of the Public Record."
There’s a third man in the photo next to Beloff, who had been convicted of voter fraud, and Ozzie Myers, who would go on to be indicted for election fraud, and that man is Bob Brady.
Bob Brady is the Chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic Party.
Brady is famous for two things, winning every election with over 80% of the vote, and stealing the Pope’s cup.
“Like I’m not gonna take that cup?” he replied.
After spending 20 years as a House Democrat, including as a ranking member of the Committee on House Administration and on the Subcommittee on Elections, he stepped down after an FBI investigation into a $90,000 payment made by his campaign to get his opponent to drop out by disguising it as a payment for a poll.
Two of Brady's aides were sent to jail in the case, but neither of the politicians were. After getting out of prison, Ken Smukler, one of those aides, was back working together with Brady and other Democrat leaders on the fight to help Biden win Pennsylvania.
In this episode of Behind The Deep State, host Alex Newman exposes how elements of the Deep State and the Fake News legacy media are ignoring allegations and evidence of potential voter fraud to illegally unseat President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence in order to install globalists Joe Biden and Kamala Harris into the presidency and vice-presidency, respectively. Newman goes through clips from Project Veritas of one USPS whistleblower exposing how mail-in ballots were backdated and put through the express system in Michigan, how the USPS sent extra ballots to wrong or previous addresses in Nevada, and how Republican poll watchers and observers in Detroit were barred from observing the ballot counts. Newman further emphasis the need to expose these Deep State schemes and to investigate every and all allegations of potential voter fraud. 📰 Full Article: https://bit.ly/massive_vote_fraud

Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis Has An Update On The Election Challenges In Various States
Giuliani breaks down evidence that could secure election for Trump
When Donald Trump was elected, the head of the United States Cyber Command warned Trump about a planned coup against him by America’s elites. He was spot-on.
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:
On November 17, 2016, a meeting that may turn out to have been one of the most pivotal in American history took place at Trump Tower in New York City. On that day, nine days after the tumultuous 2016 presidential election, Admiral Michael S. Rogers met secretly with President-elect Donald Trump. It was a meeting that set off Deep State alarms, and those alarm bells instantly started echoing throughout the controlled Deep State media empire.
Why the intense anxiety? As director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Admiral Rogers was then also chief of the Central Security Service (CSS) and commander of the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). He had previously served as the director for intelligence for both the Joint Chiefs of Staff and U.S. Pacific Command, as well as commander of the U.S. 10th Fleet and commander of the U.S. Fleet Cyber Command. In other words, he was the top dog in the world of signals intelligence (SIGINT) and held the keys to the kingdom of America’s powerful surveillance-state apparatus.

Trump he was being spied upon and inform him of a Deep State coup effort that included other intelligence chiefs. (Photo credit: AP Images)
What was Admiral Rogers doing at Trump Tower? According to globalist Deep State media assets, such as the Washington Post, NPR, and the New York Times, he was ingratiating himself to Donald Trump, hoping to get a job in the new administration as director of national intelligence (DNI), a position then held by Obama appointee James Clapper. The admiral’s detractors claim that he was about to be fired by President Obama for NSA intelligence failures and for his “aloof” leadership style. But according to Rogers’ defenders, the admiral’s journey to New York was a daring mission to warn the incoming president about a treasonous coup plot involving top members of the Obama administration and key leaders in the other intelligence agencies. And the media efforts to denigrate Rogers’ reputation were aimed precisely at publicly undermining his credibility and the warning he was delivering.
The extraordinary events of the past four years support the position of Admiral Rogers’ advocates, not his attackers. We all have witnessed, in real time, an unprecedented and ongoing coup effort in which high-level officials within the Trump administration, together with members of Congress, former government officials, media organizations, major think tanks, tax-exempt foundations, labor unions, and militant street mobs have carried out a coordinated and relentless campaign of disruption, subversion, insurrection, sabotage, and “resistance” to cripple and topple President Donald J. Trump. During that time, a continuous stream of revelations — through leaks, whistleblowers, inspector general reports, court rulings, congressional investigations, and Department of Justice investigations — has provided crucial witness testimony and documentary evidence to connect many of the dots.
Some of these crucial disclosures have only come to light in the final weeks leading up to the November 2020 elections. It has taken that long — the entire (first) term of the Trump presidency — to pry loose the damning evidence of criminality and treachery behind, for instance, the infamous (and phony) “Steele dossier”; the illegal FISA court warrants obtained for Spygate; the sham “Trump-Russia collusion” charge; the vicious FBI/DOJ/Mueller railroading of General Michael Flynn, Carter Page, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort; the real evidence of Hillary Clinton-Russia collusion; the FBI/DOJ/Mueller collusion with Hillary Clinton, Fusion GPS, and Crowdstrike — and much, much more.
The Empire Strikes Back
The Trump Tower rendezvous between the president-elect and the NSA chief, understandably, caused a panic attack among the Deep State coup plotters. Although the actual content of the conversation between Trump and Rogers has not been publicly revealed, all indications are that the admiral spilled some pretty big beans. On the same day of that meeting, having apparently been apprised by Rogers that they were being spied upon, the Trump Transition Team surprised everyone with the abrupt announcement that they were immediately moving all transition activity to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Trump then had a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF, constructed at Trump Tower to prevent hostile surveillance — from enemies both foreign and domestic. On November 19, 2016, two days after that historic Trump-Rogers meeting, the attacks on Admiral Rogers began. Naturally, the Deep State conspirators chose the Washington Post, their longtime favorite disinformation spigot, to lead the smear campaign. The Post article, entitled “Pentagon and intelligence community chiefs have urged Obama to remove the head of the NSA,” stated, “The heads of the Pentagon and the nation’s intelligence community have recommended to President Obama that the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, be removed.”
“The recommendation, delivered to the White House last month,” the story continued, “was made by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr., according to several U.S. officials familiar with the matter.” Typical of media hatchet jobs, the article was replete with alleged negative statements and allegations by anonymous “senior officials.”
Although it is dangerous to believe anything carried in that lie factory, it turns out the Post was correct in stating that top Department of Defense and intelligence community officials were urging President Obama to fire Admiral Rogers even before his trip to Trump Tower. Why? Well, as we subsequently learned, Rogers had been throwing sand into the gears of the coup plotters for the past year, challenging and thwarting their illegal activities. It appears that for months prior to the Trump Tower meeting, Rogers had been playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Obama administration and its lackeys in the “Intelligence Community.” Defense Secretary Ashton “Ash” Carter, who is also a director of the globalist-minded Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), along with Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, took the lead in calling for his ouster. However, apparently it was Department of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) head John P. Carlin who had been assigned the job of deep-sixing the troublesome admiral.
Jeff Carlson, who writes for the Epoch Times and has posted some of the most detailed and perceptive articles on the coup intrigue, wrote that “Carlin was setting up Rogers as the scapegoat” for the very crimes Rogers was trying to stop and expose. Rogers had gone to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to report violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by the Obama administration and members of the intelligence community. Section 702 of FISA is aimed at protecting Americans against warrantless search and seizure. Under Section 702, the NSA “may not intentionally target any person known at the time of acquisition to be located in the United States.” Among additional prohibitions, it “may not intentionally target a U.S. person reasonably believed to be located outside the United States.”
Carlin was the official at DOJ responsible for ensuring that the administration abided by FISA restrictions, prohibitions, and procedures. However, he had covered for the Obama administration’s routine violation of those restrictions, prohibitions, and procedures. Admiral Rogers became aware of the serious nature and extent of FISA violations and ordered the NSA’s Office of Compliance to “do a fundamental baseline review of compliance associated with 702.” Among the findings of the review was that the FBI, which had access to NSA intercepts, was illegally sharing this FISA data on individuals with private contractors. This criminal use of private contractors was one of a number of violations condemned by FISC presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer in her stinging rebuke of the FBI in her April 26, 2017 ruling. This FBI abuse apparently had been brought to her attention by Admiral Rogers, who had already shut down all FBI contractor access a year before, in April 2016. Although Judge Collyer’s ruling redacts the names of the contractors, various analysts have reasonably suggested from clues in the text, timelines, and related data that at least some of the contractors cited are very likely entities associated with Hillary Clinton’s campaign, such as Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike.
Additionally, the NSA compliance review found numerous “About Query” violations. “Rogers shut down all ‘about query’ activity on Oct. 21, 2016,” reported Jeff Carlson in the Epoch Times on December 20, 2019. “‘About queries’ are particularly worrisome,” Carlson noted, “since they occur when the target is neither the sender nor the recipient of the collected communication; rather, the target’s ‘query,’ such as an email address, is being passed between two other communicants.”
Admiral Rogers and the FISA court also dinged the FBI and DOJ for failure to comply with Standard Minimization Procedures. The website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) describes “minimization” as “a detailed set of procedures designed to minimize the acquisition, retention, use, and dissemination of U.S. person information acquired under Section 702.”
Subsequent revelations highlighted another egregious intelligence abuse, the illegal “unmasking” of individuals in NSA data by Obama officials. And as Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), then chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has said, these violations had “nothing to do” with Russia or national security matters. They were all about weaponizing and politicizing the intelligence functions.
Representative Nunes was one of many who came to Admiral Rogers’ defense when he was attacked by Carter, Clapper, and the Washington Post. Nunes’ defense of Rogers, as well as his pit-bull tenacity in exposing the criminal deeds of the coup plotters, soon earned him even more vicious attacks in the Deep State-aligned press than had been dished out to the NSA chief.

Taking Out His Teammates
For much the same reasons that they wanted to get rid of Admiral Rogers, the Deep State’s globalist elites wanted to make sure that General Michael Flynn would not survive as President Trump’s national security advisor. General Flynn had been director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) under President Obama. However, he had been forced out, into early retirement, in 2014 by Clapper and Obama. He shares many of the traits of Admiral Rogers that make the insiders of the Obama-Biden-Clinton-Pelosi circles of power (and those above them) very nervous. He knows too much and can’t be depended on to go along with their subversion of the Constitution and the rule of law. Thus, he was forced to resign, by a campaign of lies and innuendo, on February 13, 2017, only 24 days after having been sworn in.
However, General Flynn’s long ordeal was just beginning. The coup plotters were determined to make an example of him, to crush him, to send him to prison. They very nearly succeeded. Four years later, the general’s tribulation is still not over. The Department of Justice under Attorney General William Barr filed a motion on May 7, 2020 to dismiss with prejudice the charges against Flynn. The DOJ motion noted that Flynn’s questioning “was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation.” However, federal district judge Emmet G. Sullivan has refused to dismiss the case and continues to fight the dismissal with extraordinary measures.
The pretext for the vendetta against General Flynn is the charge that he lied about the content and nature of his communications with Russian ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak. This was all part and parcel of the hoax aimed at convincing the American public that Donald Trump and other members of his team were colluding with and/or were compromised by Russia and Vladimir Putin. The congressional investigations found no evidence to substantiate these charges. Neither did the much-ballyhooed two-year “Russia probe” by Office of Special Counsel (OSC) Robert Mueller. Nor did any of the media sleuths who had been trumpeting the “Russia, Russia, Russia” theme for four years.
Many stakes have been driven into the heart of the “Russia collusion” corpse, but the latest one delivered by FBI agent William Barnett this past September may finally do the job. Barnett, who was the FBI’s lead agent on the Flynn case, has described the investigation and prosecution of Flynn as an operation to “get Trump.” Barnett says he and other FBI and CIA investigators and analysts recognized early on that the probe was an “exercise in futility” and that the prosecutors were “groping” to find a crime. According to Barnett, top Mueller team prosecutors such as Jeannie Rhee and Andrew Weissmann were “obsessed” with finding a Trump-Russia connection and used overly aggressive tactics to obtain what they wanted. He says he had to intervene multiple times during interviews with Flynn and others due to misleading questions by Mueller team members.
FBI Director James Comey, Special Counsel Robert Mueller (a former FBI director), and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates had stacked the FBI/DOJ/OSC investigations with virulently partisan, anti-Trump staffers, as the notorious e-mail and text messages of FBI Agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page show.
Real Collusion: Russia-Hillary
On October 3, 2020, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified notes of former CIA Director John Brennan. It was an explosive revelation, but (surprise!) none of the “mainstream” media seemed to show the slightest interest. What did the notes reveal? They showed that Brennan had briefed former President Obama on July 26, 2016 concerning Hillary Clinton’s alleged “plan” to smear then-candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Russia as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
Brennan’s handwritten notes state:
We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED]. . . CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.
On July 31, 2016, five days after Brennan’s briefing of Obama on the Clinton scheme, Comey’s FBI opened its bogus “investigation” of the Trump campaign and its alleged ties to Russia.
Consider the enormity of this: The Steele dossier, as it has now been incontestably shown, was put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, with the assistance of Russian intelligence. It was then used by not only Hillary Clinton but also her co-conspirators Barack Obama, James Comey, James Clapper, Nancy Pelosi, Representative Adam Schiff, the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, CBS, and all the rest of the Deep State cabal to vilify Trump, precisely as directed in the Clinton scheme outlined in Brennan’s briefing to President Obama. So, it is Hillary Clinton who is the Russian colluder.
Then Clinton and her campaign lawyer Marc Elias repeatedly lied and denied any connection to the obscene “pee dossier” — until documentary evidence forced them to admit that they had financed it. Then Hillary switched her tune and even defended funding the dossier. It was just legit “opposition research,” she told ABC News.
Audacious it certainly was, especially since the Clinton-Russia ties go far deeper than her collusion with Russian intelligence to produce the aforementioned “Steele dossier.” It was/is Hillary Clinton (and her husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, and their Clinton Foundation), not Donald Trump, that has all the ties to Putin and Russia. As we have reported in The New American many times over the years, Hillary Clinton had notoriously concluded a number of deals with Putin’s regime that materially aided Russia’s military-industrial-techological advancement, while simultaneously striking serious blows to America’s national security. Along these lines we could mention, for example, the Uranium One deal that gave Russia a controlling interest in our American uranium production, and the technology transfers that have helped build Skolkovo, Russia’s hi-tech Silicon Valley.
Of course, that was already known by the Deep Staters who were, nevertheless, pushing the Trump-Russia theme with a vengeance.
Those Spreading the Lies
Thus far in this article, we have focused primarily on the Deep State’s coup efforts through the operations of its captive intelligence agencies. This is not to suggest that all or even most of the men and women who serve in the FBI, CIA, DIA, and other intelligence-community agencies are parties to this treachery. Indeed, it is due to leaks and testimony from many brave and patriotic employees who have risked their careers, reputations, pensions — and even their lives — to expose the crimes and treason of the political hacks who are their bosses, that we know about the fraud and lies.
The intelligence community wields enormous power, but it is only one facet of the larger Deep State cabal that has been attacking the Trump administration — and America — from every angle and on every level.

Working closely in tandem with the Deep State intelligence community is the controlled establishment media, whose indispensable role we have highlighted in an article on page 16. Together with the Big Tech social-media giants and search engines — Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube, Reddit, Yahoo, Microsoft, Bing, etc. — they are transforming American society ever more rapidly to resemble the totalitarian system of Communist China. Not only are they dispensing statist prop-aganda that more and more mimics the Chinese Communist Party line, but in true Orwellian fashion they are blatantly punishing “thought crime” with censorship, demonetization, deplatforming, bullying, doxing, and label-lynching.
Deep State operatives within the intelligence community and throughout the federal bureaucracy also collude with the anti-Trump/anti-American media to produce a steady deluge of strategically timed leaks, many of which involve classified material, and all of which are calculated to disrupt and cripple the operations of government. Like the Antifa street thugs, they may as well adopt the revolutionary slogan, “Make America Ungovernable!”
Speaking of Antifa, we should mention here the important role they and their comrades in Black Lives Matter are playing in the orchestrated coup effort. Their job is to provide pressure from below while Deep State operatives in government and the media provide pressure from above. The BLM/Antifa rioters would have amounted to nothing except for: 1) the massive funding they have received from George Soros and other globalists; 2) the massive media promotion and propaganda they have enjoyed; 3) the enormous boost they have received from radical politicians and particularly from mayors and prosecutors (many of whom are Soros-funded) who refuse to prosecute the rioters; and 4) the crucial leadership of hard-core Marxist-Leninists of the Revolutionary Communist Party, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and other revolutionary groups. But, naturally, these things are never mentioned by the controlled media, which would have us believe the lie that the BLM/Antifa mobs are authentic, grassroots organizations.
Still another important element of the ongoing coup effort is the campaign to expand and empower the United Nations and all of its programs. President Trump not only has initiated action to withdraw the United States from the disastrous UN Climate Accord, but also has terminated U.S. membership in UNESCO, WHO, and the UN Arms Trade Treaty, which is a thinly disguised attack on the Second Amendment. Obviously, these and other Trumpian attacks on the globalists’ New World Order could not be allowed to stand. Then we saw the convenient unleashing of the COVID-19 “pandemic” upon the world by Communist China to wreck the rebounding U.S. economy, while pro-Beijing globalists such as Bill Gates, George Soros, and their confreres at the Council on Foreign Relations and World Economic Forum have cheered the moves by Western governments to adopt Chinese-style totalitarianism and “global health governance.”
As we go to press (on November 5) the official results of the election are still up in the air, though it is obvious that operatives of the Deep State have been active at all levels, and using all illegal means at their disposal, to steal votes from President Trump and throw the count to Joe Biden. As the decision over who won the White House gets thrown to the courts, we can expect that the BLM/Antifa mobs will also be unleashed into the streets. There also are crucial U.S. Senate and House races that remain unresolved. The outcomes of these races will hugely impact our nation, not the least of matters being whether or not we will see a packing of the Supreme Court, as many leading Democrats are calling for. Stay tuned for important updates at thenewamerican.com.

With recounts and legal battles on the horizon, many still believe that President Trump will emerge victorious in the 2020 presidential election. The media, ignoring these pending battles, decided to crown Joe Biden the victor anyway, putting massive pressure on Trump’s team to fall in line—despite alleged fraud in various states.
Of course, anyone who dares challenge the media narrative that Joe Biden was elected president is being branded a sore loser. The Trump campaign has signed affidavits of witnesses to voter fraud, yet the media is telling us to ignore this.
Is it being a sore a loser to ensure that the results of the election were legitimate? Is exposing voter fraud so terrible?
Enough is enough. When we have plenty of evidence that there was systemic fraud, we have to get to the bottom of it. If Joe Biden is so confident he won legitimately, he’d be calling for audits too.
The truth is, it’s not Trump supporters who are sore losers. They just want to have faith the results were legitimate.
If you really want to find the sore losers, just look back to 2016.
After Trump won the 2016 election, a Change.org petition called on “conscientious electors” to “protect the Constitution from Donald Trump, and to support the national popular vote winner.”
“Donald Trump has not been elected president,” the petition read. “The real election takes place December 19, when the 538 Electoral College Electors cast their ballots – for anyone they want. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win,” the petition noted. “However, in 14 of the states in Trump’s column, they can vote for Hillary Clinton without any legal penalty if they choose.”
This wasn’t just some random petition with a few measly people signing onto it. A whopping 4,893,520 people signed this petition.
But, Trump supporters are the “sore losers”? Trump voters aren’t calling on faithless electors to change the result. They want to expose the fraud. Shouldn’t we all want to know that the election was fair and legal?
In 2016, Hillary supporters wanted the Electoral College to overturn the rightful result of the election. When that didn’t happen, they immediately latched on to the Russia collusion hoax to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. In 2020, evidence of fraud that could potentially have altered the results of the election is just too much to ignore.
The Trump campaign will do what it takes to expose the fraud. When we can be confident that the election results were legitimate we can see who the real winner is. But nothing will change the fact of who the real sore losers were: the millions of Hillary voters who wanted to coerce the Electoral College electors to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

According to Ph.D. psychologist Robert Epstein, his team of Google monitors captured evidence that between Monday, October 26, 2020, and Thursday, October 29, 2020, Google sent vote reminders to liberal users but not to conservative users. On Thursday, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) sent a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai demanding an explanation.
Cruz, Johnson, and Lee cited Pichai’s August 6 testimony pledging that Google “won’t do any work, you know, to politically tilt anything one way or another. It’s against our core values.” In a follow-up letter, he added, “Google does not modify any products, including Search, to promote a particular political viewpoint…[we] will not do so for the upcoming 2020 presidential election.”
Yet Epstein, who studies the psychological effect of search results, recounted a troubling instance of potential meddling between October 26 and October 29. Epstein has launched an election monitoring project using a politically-diverse group of 733 field agents in Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina. “Through their computers, we were able to preserve more than 400,000 ephemeral experiences that tech companies use to shift opinions and votes and that normally are lost forever,” Epstein explained to Johnson.
“One of our most disturbing findings so far is that between Monday, October 26th (the day our system became fully operational) and Thursday, October 29th, only our liberal field agents received vote reminders on Google’s home page. Conservatives did not receive even a single vote reminder,” Epstein reported. “This kind of targeting, if present nationwide, could shift millions of votes, in part because Google’s home page is seen 500 million times a day in the U.S.”
This pattern disappeared on October 29. Epstein sent materials about the project to The New York Post‘s Ebony Bowden, who wrote a story on the project. Late that evening, the Post pulled Bowden’s article and Google’s apparent targeting ceased.
“From midnight on the 29th to the end of Election Day, all of our field agents have received the vote reminder. Because of the demographics of the people who use Google, this is still a vote manipulation, but it is far more benign than the extreme targeting we detected last week,” Epstein noted.
“Based on Dr. Epstein’s response, it would appear your assertion that ‘We won’t do any work, you know, to politically tilt anything one way or the other’ is not true,” the senators wrote to Pichai.
“We will be asking Dr. Epstein to provide Congress with the evidence of Google’s politically biased activities his monitoring collected during this election cycle. We are writing to provide you another opportunity to conduct a thorough review with your management team to determine the veracity of your previous responses to the congressional inquiry regarding this issue, and correct your answers if necessary,” the senators concluded. They requested Pichai’s responses by 5 p.m. on Nov. 12.
Just a few days before Election Day, Epstein warned Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that Google’s search engine has a “very substantial pro-liberal bias” and could swing 15 million votes in the election. He claimed that Google is effectively making a “huge in-kind donation” to campaigns like that of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
“Based on the data that we’re collecting, I would say that if what we’re seeing is present nationwide, they are probably shifting this year in this election about 15 million votes without anyone’s awareness and except for what I’m doing, without leaving a paper trail for authorities to trace,” Epstein told Carlson.
“We’re finding very substantial pro-liberal bias in all ten or at least nine out of ten search results on the first page of Google search results… not on Bing or Yahoo though,” Epstein reported. “And we’re seeing that bias in every single demographic group. In fact, in one report we generated recently, we saw more liberal bias in Google content going to conservatives than going to liberals.”
Naturally, the alleged liberal bias in search results may not be intentional or nefarious. The American literary establishment, from universities to legacy media outlets, has shifted to the left in recent decades. Newspapers long known for their high editorial standards, like The New York Times, seem to be squandering their reputations in a rush to gain attention from the Left.
Even if Google intentionally shifts its search results to the Left, the company may claim it is only doing so in the name of objectivity and favoring ostensibly more credible legacy media sources.
The company can claim no such thing in response to the October 26-October 29 biased vote reminders, however.
Epstein, who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016, has long warned about Google’s power to manipulate elections. In 2017, he wrote a white paper arguing that Clinton’s popular vote margin was almost entirely attributable to pro-Clinton bias at Google. “Without the pro-Clinton bias in Google’s search results, her win margin in the popular vote would have been negligible,” Epstein wrote at the time.
A 2018 survey found that conservative employees in Silicon Valley tech companies live in fear that their political beliefs will be found out. James Damore said conservatives at Google are “in the closet” and that Google executives are digging through a secret email list in order to out them.
In September, a Google whistleblower told Project Veritas that Google News results are intentionally biased against Trump. This seemed to confirm the results of an unscientific test on Google News bias run by PJ Media editor Paula Bolyard last year (tweeted out by Trump himself), and a more scientific study also suggesting bias. The Google News slant is not a conspiracy theory, though Google of course denies manipulating results. After all, Google employees heavily favor Democrats in their political donations.
More than 90 percent of political contributions from employees of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, have gone to Democrats since 2004. In 2018, 96 percent went to Democrats. A former Google engineer said the company will try to prevent Trump’s reelection.
The idea of Big Tech bias seems all the more troubling after Facebook and Twitter took unprecedented actions to suppress a bombshell New York Post story claiming that Joe Biden was actively involved in Hunter Biden’s corrupt overseas dealings, even before the story could be fact-checked. As it turns out, more evidence has come to light backing up the original story, but much of the legacy media has ignored the story. A recent Media Research Center poll suggested that the effort to suppress the story may have handed Biden the election.
Epstein has raised some serious concerns, and the Republican senators were right to demand answers from Pichai. Google has not responded to PJ Media’s request for comment. This story will be updated if Google does respond.

Sodomites from around the country are celebrating as a record number of homosexuals and sexually aberrant candidates ran for office in this year’s elections. According to Crooks and Liars (that’s the actual name of this blog…fitting), “more LGBTQ candidates ran for office in the United States in 2020 than ever before – at least 1,006,” Timothy Bussey wrote. “That’s a 41% increase over the 2018 midterms, according to the LGBTQ Victory Fund.”
The Scriptures speak of homosexual celebrity as judgment against a nation. When a nation turns its back on God, according to Romans 1, God gives that nation over to sexual immorality. There can be no question that God has given America over to the lusts of their hearts. A nation filled with evil people — even those who claim to be conservatives — celebrate homosexuality and abortion at record rates.
Bussey argues that “better representation” in the political arena could “help LGBTQ Americans maintain some of their hard-won rights, which have come under attack over the past four years.”
These “rights,” however, are nothing more than wrath and judgment being poured out. These “rights” are signs that a nation does not worship the one true God, but has, instead, refused to acknowledge him (Romans 1:28). Even the Church has joined with Sodom to celebrate this immense perversity.
The Church deserves every bit of persecution she will see come her way in the next decade. Even if God decides to extend mercy, the Church, in her weakness and refusal to boldly proclaim the one true living God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, will face an increasingly difficult and perilous time. God will not allow other gods before Him. If you think it’s bad now, just wait.

“Our Trump legal team & poll watchers are being barred from the ballot counting – despite a court order.”- Attorney Ron Colemanin Philadelphia, November 5, 2020
While there are complaints about GOP poll watchers being denied access to ballot counting across America, Philadelphia is in a category all on it’s own, but Nevada and Michigan are not far behind. RAIR Foundation USA has compiled some of these instances and will be updating as needed.
Some poll watchers were captured on film attempting to assume their duties, only to be thwarted.
Pennsylvania:
“They will not allow us within 30 to 100 feet to supervise the ballots being counted.”

Around the country businesses boarded up their windows before election day.
Our Montana MassResistance activists show why things remain calm there!
November 8, 2020
When hundreds of fanatical Black Lives Matter demonstrators descended on this Montana downtown park, some of the citizens came to make sure that it really was peaceful! [All photos by MassResistance except where noted.]
In cities and towns across America on Nov. 3, people braced for post-election riots and destruction by Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa – a continuation of the violence those groups had been committing for months – which had been threatened by top Democrats. Store owners boarded up their windows. Police were put on alert, and in some places the National Guard was called up.

But not in Montana. Earlier this year, Black Lives Matter and Antifa got a clear message that their brand of intimidation and violence would not work there! Here’s just one story.
On June 6, hundreds of agitated BLM-allied leftists converged on Depot Park in the center of Kalispell, Montana for a so-called “protest.” Kalispell, a small city north of Missoula in the northwest corner of the state, had not seen anything like this before.
Many locals feared that a mob would attempt to deface or destroy the Flathead County Veterans Memorial in the center of the small downtown park, as BLM activists had done to other monuments (particularly those involving military figures) across the country. And neighborhood businesses were on edge.

But when the BLM supporters arrived, the area around the monument was surrounded by dozens of well-armed local citizens. (Montana allows open-carry of firearms without a permit.) And the locals were prepared to also protect the nearby local businesses if necessary.
As a result, everything was peaceful. The leftists got the message! The virtue-signaling local people were surprisingly restrained. They stayed on the side of the street with their signs and banners and didn’t even block traffic. Even the more surly rabble-rousers held back.
Here are photos taken by our Montana MassResistance chapter:
When the BLM mob showed up at the park, local townspeople were there, too.
This was the scene in front of the Veterans Memorial.
A few of the early BLM arrivals.
There were a lot of mindless virtue-signalers. When we asked a woman about her sign that said "Against Fascism" she couldn't explain what fascism is.
The police in Montana aren't exactly "militarized." But ... whatever. [Note the passing pickup truck's message to the demonstrators: "Black Unborn Lives Matter."]
There were several hundred in the Black Lives Matter crowd, and many of them were quite agitated. But this time they peacefully lined the street around the park and didn't even block traffic.
Naturally, there were a lot of juvenile signs.
A view from the back of the crowd.
And the word got around. There haven’t been any Black Lives Matter or Antifa problems in Montana.
How civilized life was intended
This is, of course, what the founders of America intended. Regular citizens who have a stake in the community are supposed to be able to protect themselves and others, especially at times of civil unrest. For most of our history, that’s how things were.
Unfortunately, in most of the country people now continue to live in fear of uncontrolled, lunatic mobs burning and looting buildings, tearing down monuments at will, and even attacking (and sometimes killing) bystanders. People living in fear and insecurity gives power to the Left and elected officials. And to make things even worse, the fake-news media viciously distort legitimate self-defense by citizens. But it’s not what America is all about.
This was the scene in Boston the night after the election. Rabid "protesters" came and took over the streets. The Governor had to call in the National Guard to keep them from destroying property and looting. {Photo: Boston Herald]
Other attributes in Montana
Montana is quite civilized and normal. This is largely because most citizens are serious about preserving their Constitutional rights. And it’s much more than just self-protection.
They have maintained fair elections: At the polls, voters always had to show their photo ID to cast their ballot. Although this time most counties opted instead to go to mailed-in ballots, local election offices still kept the process clean. (It helped that many Montanans hand-delivered their ballots to election offices, rather than trust the US Mail.)
As a result of having a legitimate process, President Trump won Montana with 57% of the vote, and Republicans won the races for Governor, US Senate, US House, and all the major statewide offices.
We’ll see what happens in the rest of the country …
Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- As gun owners watch Joe Biden prepare to claim victory, allegations of vote fraud fly around cyberspace and legal actions are being filed faster than John Wayne could pull a sixgun. President Donald Trump’s team and their allies have set up a website for people to report possible cases of fraud or voting irregularities. You can report voter fraud you personally experienced, witnessed, or found via the world web. Report everything before they hide the evidence:
At this writing, it appeared anti-gun former Vice President Joe Biden was on the verge of securing the required 270 Electoral College votes to win the election.
But there are questions about the integrity of elections in several key states, and while some news agencies have raced to dispel those concerns, many Trump supporters, including American gun owners concerned about Biden’s plans to erode their Second Amendment rights, are paying attention.
Post Office Corruption
One alarming video has been posted by James O’Keefe and Project Veritas, depicting a phone conversation he had with an alleged Post Office whistleblower in Pennsylvania who claimed late ballots had been back-dated.
Voter Fraud in Michigan
There have been other suspicious postings on social media, allegedly showing how a few cases of voter fraud were perpetuated using the identities of dead people.
A similar video posted on YouTube demonstrates how alleged voter fraud has or could occur in Michigan, a state where several questions have been raised about a ballot drop that either entirely or largely went to Biden. Critics have contended it is statistically impossible for a shipment of ballots to arrive at voter headquarters and not have a single Trump ballot in the bunch. While there may be no satisfactory way to prove or disprove the allegation, this video is keeping the controversy alive:
In Plain Sight
Another video, apparently showing some vote tabulators at work in Pennsylvania, appears to allege that counters are filling in blanks on ballots. Whether that is the case or not, the video has apparently raised concerns about the integrity of the tabulating process.
Ballot counter in PA stamping the ballot as accepted then filling it out???
While all of this is happening, establishment media outlets are scrambling to refute claims of vote fraud, but they are going about it in ways that seem more like editorials than matter-of-fact reporting. For example, CNN stated in its lead paragraph of one story, “Top Republicans are defending President Donald Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud and a rigged election even as some rank-and-file congressional Republicans have spoken out against the President's latest remarks.”
The story went on to assert the president was making “false claims” that “that a count of legally cast ballots would show him winning the presidential race…”
It is not clear how CNN determined any of Trump’s claims are “baseless,” and the use of that word only reinforces the belief of many that the president has never gotten a square treatment by the American press.
The Associated Press ran this paragraph as its lead: “Key Republican lawmakers, including 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romney, on Friday slammed President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that Democrats are trying to ‘steal’ the election, even as GOP leaders struck a more neutral tone — and others urged the White House to fight.”
Even The Guardian has gotten in on the act, declaring in the lead paragraph of one report, “In his Wednesday evening address, an increasingly desperate Donald Trump continued his assault on the democratic process by lying about widespread voter fraud.”
Meanwhile, Fox News is reporting that Republican leaders in Pennsylvania are encouraging people to “relax,” amid the high tensions in the Keystone State, one of four or five key battleground states.
Perhaps none of this would be happening, or at least the tensions might be reduced, had Fox News not declared Arizona a win for Biden on just a small percentage of Election Night returns. The news network’s jumping of that gun only made matters worse, it appears.
While all of this is happening, many people are watching Senate races in North Carolina and Georgia, which could determine whether Republicans maintain control of the Senate, providing a barrier to any programs a Biden administration might try to push through.
The “1st” count may be nearing completion, but the court challenges could be just getting underway.

The 2020 election saga continues to unfold. Joe Biden has been closing in on the 270 electoral votes he needs to become the 46th president of the United States. But as Yogi Berra once famously said, "It ain't over till it's over.” Actual vote counting is continuing in key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. However, the next act of the 2020 election drama is just beginning, with lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign challenging the legal validity of the voting and counting procedures used in various states. Meanwhile, leftists who don’t want to wait for the election drama’s denouement have already started rioting, demanding that “every vote be counted.” Those who believe in the rule of law are demanding – peacefully – that every lawful vote be counted, in accordance with statutes passed by the state legislatures and with the Constitution.
Joe Biden appeared before reporters on Thursday afternoon to urge Americans to remain calm while the vote counting continues. He declared, however, that he and Kamala Harris have "no doubt" that, after votes are counted, they "will be declared the winners."
President Trump subsequently addressed the media from the White House briefing room. He showed no signs of backing down in his claims that he is the legitimate winner of the election. The president said he will fight in the courts against what he called a stolen election. He also blamed false “suppression polls” for attempting to discourage his own supporters from bothering to vote. "They thought there was going to be a big blue wave. That was false. It was done for suppression reasons but instead, there was a big red wave."
“If you count the legal votes I easily win,” the president said. “If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal the election from us.” Alleging fraud and attempts to “rig” the election, the president pointed to efforts in Pennsylvania and Michigan to keep Trump campaign poll watchers from observing closely the counting of votes.
Trump said that his voting numbers have been “whittled away in secret.” As he was speaking, his vote margin over Biden dropped significantly in both Georgia and Pennsylvania. The president repeated his frequent complaints regarding mail-in ballots, which he said are “so one-sided.” He vowed that there will be “a tremendous amount of litigation,” adding that “This is a case where they are trying to steal an election.”
Some media outlets including Fox News have called Arizona with its 11 electoral votes for Joe Biden. That would put Biden within 6 electoral votes of securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Nevada, where Biden is ahead in the popular vote, just happens to have the 6 electoral votes that would put Biden over the top. But this assumes that Biden turns out to be the definitive winner in Arizona, which the Trump campaign strongly believes will not be the case.
Meanwhile in Pennsylvania, where the vote count is continuing, President Trump is leading by a rapidly diminishing margin of about 64,000 votes as of the writing of this article. In Georgia, Trump has a razor thin lead, with mail-in votes still to be counted in counties where Biden has the edge. If Biden ends up winning Georgia, it won’t matter what happens in Arizona or Pennsylvania so long as Biden takes Nevada. All in all, Biden has significantly more pathways to reach the goal of 270 electoral votes than Trump does.
Despite all these crosscurrents, here is what we do know so far:
--- Intense voter interest in the 2020 election amongst a very divided electorate resulted in the highest number of ballots cast in a U.S. presidential election in history, no doubt reflecting in part the substantial increase of mail-in ballots cast this year. This election also saw the highest voter turnout rate among eligible citizens in more than a century.
--- The oft-proclaimed “blue wave” never materialized. There was no Biden landslide. Assuming Biden wins, it will be by the skin of his teeth, particularly in the major battleground states. The voters did not repudiate en masse the Trump agenda or Republican policy priorities. The Republicans are expected to maintain control of the Senate, although a final determination will have to wait for what appears to be two run-offs for both Senate seats in Georgia that will have to be held next January. The House will remain in Democrat hands. However, contrary to predictions, Democrats are projected to lose at least five House seats.
--- Most pollsters got the presidential results in key battleground states grievously wrong. Take Florida, for example, where President Trump won by 3.4 percent. The final RealClearPolitics average of Florida polls had shown Biden with a .9 percent advantage. In Wisconsin, the final RealClearPolitics average of polls showed Biden with a 6.7 percent advantage. An ABC News/Washington Post Poll released on October 28th gave Biden a whopping 17 percent advantage. Biden ended up winning Wisconsin by only .6 percent. The race turned out to be so close that the Trump campaign will be entitled to a recount if it requests one. Most pollsters also badly underestimated President Trump’s overall electoral strength across the country. The 2020 polling error, according to G. Elliott Morris, a political data journalist for the Economist, “matches the pattern of the 2016 error really well, so there really does seem to be something wrong here. It’s not just two random polling errors.”
--- Democrats wasted millions of dollars trying to unseat incumbent Republican Senators, such as South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, Maine’s Susan Collins, and Texas’s John Cornyn.
--- Black and Hispanic support for President Trump increased from 2016. According to preliminary estimates from exit polls conducted by Edison Research for the National Election Pool, Trump’s overall share of the black vote in 2020 increased to 12 percent, as compared to 8 percent in 2016. His share of the Latino vote was 32 percent in 2020, an increase of 4 percent from 2016. As Daniel Greenfield wrote for this publication, “After four years of being accused of every form of bigotry on earth (and some that have yet to be discovered), Republicans brought home the largest share of non-white voters since 1960. The last time Republicans had numbers like these, Democrats were the segregationist party.”
In the typical patronizing fashion displayed by leftists who expect blacks to vote monolithically, New York Times columnist Charles Blow tweeted, “This is so personally devastating to me: the black male vote for Trump INCREASED from 13% in 2016 to 18% this year. The black female vote for Trump doubled from 4% in 2016 to 8% this year.” He added insult to injury when he complained about the increase in votes for Trump among Latino and Asian voters this time around. “Also, the percentage of Latinos and Asians voting for Trump INCREASED from 2016, according to exit polls. Yet more evidence that we can’t depend on the ‘browning of America’ to dismantle white supremacy and erase anti-blackness,” Blow tweeted.
--- The stock market has been surging since Election Day. Market experts have explained that investors are anticipating a divided government, with Biden in the White House and the Senate still controlled by the Republicans. Investors are assuming that in such a scenario the corporate income tax cuts enacted in 2017 would not be repealed, nor capital gains taxes increased, to fund the progressives’ radical policy agenda.
We also know that there will be plenty of work for lawyers to do as the presidential contest shifts to the courts. The Trump campaign has already filed or is planning to file lawsuits challenging vote counting procedures in several battleground states, including Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Of all these challenges, federal litigation in Pennsylvania could prove to be pivotal if the state’s 20 electoral votes are still needed by both candidates to reach 270.
There are two Pennsylvania cases making their way through the courts, only one of which is consequential. A case brought in state court has to do with the Trump campaign representatives’ request for closer observation of the vote counting process. A similar lawsuit was brought in Michigan. While the Trump campaign is arguing the potential for mischief in the counting process which it would like to see stopped until its observers are afforded more reasonable access, this tack is unlikely to succeed in affecting the final outcome. The more significant legal challenge in Pennsylvania involves a lawsuit originally brought by Pennsylvania Republicans in federal court. The lawsuit claims that mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but arriving after Election Day cannot be legally counted under Pennsylvania law because the Pennsylvania legislature has required all ballots to be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. The case stems from the decision of the highly partisan Pennsylvania Supreme Court to disregard the firm Election Day deadline set by the Pennsylvania legislature and grant the three-day extension because of alleged Post Office delays. The Trump campaign has now petitioned for the right to intervene in this case.
The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Pennsylvania Republicans’ original motion on an expedited basis before the election. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who had just joined the Court, did not take part in this decision. Justice Barrett did not think she was prepared at that point to weigh in. But with the election now over and the potential for the late ballots to make a crucial difference in the outcome if they are counted, the U.S. Supreme Court may decide to hear the motion on the merits after all. Justice Samuel Alito noted that “the Court’s denial of the motion to expedite is not a denial of a request for this Court to order that ballots received after election day be segregated so that if the State Supreme Court’s decision is ultimately overturned, a targeted remedy will be available.”
If, as expected, the major media outlets decide sometime during the next several days to call the presidential election for Joe Biden, the fight will still not be over. President Trump has no intention of bowing out until he has had his full day in court. Stay tuned as the 2020 election drama continues.

This the hard bit—the wait.
Sometimes I think I can hear my friends across the pond holding their breath, collectively, not daring to breathe or move or eat in case it somehow jinxes the swing states yet to call.
I dare not text anyone, because I just don’t see how words are going to help right now. Only a win will make this stop.
Trump has called it already. The President of Slovenia has even sent his congratulations, and yet the noise from my radio and TV tells me that the media are launching an all-out assault to ensure the win is not given.
I cannot tell you how many times our State Broadcaster (the BBC) has "plotted the Biden path to victory" on the irritating tech toy they insist on using, but it is countless, as if by plotting his path to a win they can make viewers believe it so —and bring down the will of the American people.
And when my children ask me "Who won?" I can’t bring myself to say it is undecided. Or to report that it is "too close to call" or "all the votes haven’t been counted yet." None of that rings true to me. I think of all the faces I have met at Trump rallies and Republican events over the last few months, and I know they are the truth of America.
I tell them Trump will win, the media just aren’t willing to say it yet. Just like in 2016 when CNN pundits couldn’t bring themselves to call Pennsylvania, their faces contorted with the pain of the truth to the extent they appeared to be suffering from some kind of physical illness.
And of course, the coverage has been universally nauseating on all sides, including our own. The pocket-sized Ben Shapiro took all of 20 seconds to leap to Twitter to declare it was wrong for Trump to claim a win. Funny how these Never-Trumpers from 2016 never really got over themselves despite hanging on to Trump like a tick on a dog for four years.
Other channels seem determined not to call states for Trump, or to talk about how amazing it is that every single pollster was wrong yet again. No one wants to talk about the fact that whoever wins Ohio wins the Presidency, preferring one-sided ranting from idiot half-cousins of Martin Luther King or bizarre interviews with Reverend Jesse Jackson who is incomprehensible even when sober or awake, neither of which appeared to be true.
At 2.30 a.m. Trump made a speech from the East Room of the White House declaring victory and calling the election a "fraud on the American people." And despite the scowls on the faces of Never-Trumpers, I think this was a masterstroke of a genius at work.
Team Trump is well prepared for this election to be stolen, and will have a plan in place. This is Trump working the plan, signaling to the American people that he is still fighting —and doesn’t plan to stop until democracy wins.
I am reminded of one of the biggest rollockings of my Army career when my running coach observed me stopping my 800 meters at the line.
“Run through the line, Hopkins. Run through the line. The race finishes after the line - you festering idiot of a woman.” (Only with more swearing and insults in my direction)
And Trump knows this. He knew this election would not end on election day, or even after all legitimate votes had been counted. And it's why he is stating so clearly his intention to stop fraudulent ballots being added to the pile.
It is not about ignoring legitimate votes. It is about preventing Democrats from committing massive voter fraud in swing states that were headed for a Trump win, right before some globalist-sized pause button was pressed and the vote-counters went to bed instead of getting the job done.
The fraud seemed to happen right before our eyes.
Nevada stopped counting at 5:30 EST leaving the state too close to call. They didn’t plan to resume their count on this most important election in history until 11:30 EST. On what planet is that a reason or responsible course of action?
Wisconsin saw Trump clearly surging ahead until a vote dump from Milwaukee put Biden ahead by 317,251 to Trump's 134,555. Things are not adding up. In fact, it’s the sort of dodgy math you would expect a demented Biden to come up with. And apparently he has.
In Arizona, there are huge concerns over voter fraud involving the use of Sharpie pens handed out by election officials, but the use of Sharpie pen ink making ballots invalid. Voters are encouraged to track their ballots and ensure they were counted.
I wonder if it is easier as a foreigner and an outsider to find comfort in the darkness. Perhaps distance lends perspective. It is not a lack of emotional engagement on my part, having just returned from a brutal three months on the road in this fight for your President.
But I remain confident. I believe Trump has won this election. Florida, Ohio and North Carolina are bellwethers in this storm and they indicate the American people have defied the MSM, the pollsters and Big Tech —and chosen Trump for four more years.
Trump knows his enemy, knows how to beat them, and is already confident of success.
"We will win this. As far as I am concerned we have already won," Trump told supporters.
Our job right now is to trust him to do just that.

A Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court judge overturned a lower court ruling and ruled that election observers can stand “within six feet” of the vote-counting process after the Trump campaign sued the state for “hiding the ballot counting and processing from our Republican poll observers.”
The Trump campaign had bitterly complained that election officials had kept their observers hundreds of feet away from the ballot counting. The ruling requires election officials to allow Republican observers to stand six feet away.
Pam Bondi reports that officials are playing games.
The judge’s order demands that Philadelphia election officials allow “all candidates, watchers, or candidate representatives be permitted to be present for the canvassing process … and be permitted to observe all aspects of the canvassing process within 6 feet, while adhering to all COVID-19 protocols, including, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.”
The Trump campaign declared the decision “a major victory for election integrity [and] election transparency,” which came after they filed a lawsuit to stop the vote tallying until they were granted “meaningful access” to oversee the counting. The campaign filed a similar suit in Michigan, filed a separate lawsuit in Georgia, and plans to demand a recount in Wisconsin.
We are seeing this sort of nonsense all over the country. It’s a simple matter of fairness — something Democrats say they’re all about. But in a lot of jurisdictions, belittling and humiliating Republicans is more important than being fair.
“As a result of this incredible legal victory, the lower court’s order has been reversed. Now, according to the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, ‘all candidates, watchers, or candidate representatives’ shall ‘be permitted to be present for the canvassing process’ and ‘be permitted to observe all aspects of the canvassing process within 6 feet, while adhering to all COVID-19 protocols, including, wearing masks and maintaining social distancing,'” he added. “For the good of the nation, every Pennsylvania county should follow the lead of this judge and provide access for observers to ensure transparency and integrity in Pennsylvania. That is the only way to ensure a fair, transparent election in which all Pennsylvania voters can have confidence their vote will count.”
The election officials are appealing the ruling of the Commonwealth judge to the state supreme court.They claim they’re not violating any laws by keeping Republican observers 100 feet away from the counting. And if it’s not illegal, it should be allowed. They say the observers will be a “danger” to election employees and the privacy rights of voters if they stand 6 feet away.
Getting to oversee the ballot-counting process is a good thing. But observers in Pennsylvania cannot challenge individual mail-in ballots. They can stand anywhere they want and it won’t make a difference if Democrats are cheating.
Dr. Duke Pesta interviews Alex Newman, Senior Editor of The New American, to discuss Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's apparently last-minute vote gains in Wisconsin and Michigan edging him closer to the White House. Newman discusses numerous irregularities in the vote tabulation and how the election has the earmarks of the "Color Revolutions" that the Deep State globalists have engineered to steal elections overseas. Dr. Pesta and Newman both warn how Fox News undermines the integrity of both the elections and our constitutional republic, by serving as the Establishment's gatekeeper for so-called conservative news while constantly taking the wrong position when it matters most. 🇺🇸 The New American: http://www.thenewamerican.com/

Will Joe Biden and the Democrats succeed in stealing the election? It’s early yet, but there are disquieting signs already. Pennsylvania’s wildly partisan attorney general Josh Shapiro tweeted Saturday, before a single vote was counted: “If all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose.” In Shapiro’s Philadelphia on Tuesday morning, the Philadelphia Republican Party charged that certified Republican poll watchers were being denied access. In Georgia, all the voting machines in Spalding County, which voted 60% for Trump in 2016, went down. Scott Adams noted: “The Fake News will try to install Biden as president, no matter the vote count, if the election outcome is even slightly questionable. And it will be.”
If the efforts to install Biden in the White House, no matter what the vote count really is, fail, then there will be riots. The numerous boarded-up businesses in major cities testify to their likelihood. For all too many on the Left, it seems as if the choice America faces today is Biden or Blood.
That recalls another presidential election in our nation’s distant past, when the Republican governor of Ohio, Rutherford B. Hayes, ran against the Democratic Governor of New York, Samuel J. Tilden. As Rating America’s Presidents notes, Tilden was the Democrats’ third straight candidate from New York (and General George B. McClellan, their 1864 standard-bearer, was from New Jersey). With the South largely in their camp even during Reconstruction, the Democrats knew that it was the North they had to win to regain the White House. And while the Republicans “waved the bloody shirt,” as they had in 1868 and 1872—that is, accused the Democrats of responsibility for the Civil War—the Democrats had an effective comeback as the party of clean government fighting against what they characterized as the party of corruption.
It almost worked; actually, it may really have worked. Tilden won the popular vote by 250,000 votes over Hayes. He also seemed to have won the electoral vote, and hence the presidency. However, in three Southern states, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida, the Democrats and Republicans produced two separate popular vote tabulations, both claiming victory in each state. There was also a dispute about one elector in Oregon, where the Democratic governor had appointed a Democrat after a Republican elector resigned and the Republicans cried foul. At stake were twenty electoral votes. The undisputed tally had Tilden with 184 and Hayes with 165, so if Hayes were awarded all twenty of the disputed votes, he would win the presidency by one vote.
The dispute roiled the nation. No one was sure what to do, as the Constitution hadn’t provided for such a contingency, and while the Republicans may have been engaged in voter fraud, the Democrats had almost certainly practiced voter suppression, preventing freedmen, who voted for the party that freed the slaves, from voting, or throwing out their votes uncounted. In 1878, a congressional investigation found evidence of Democratic attempts to bribe election officials. But it is unlikely that the Republicans weren’t cheating as well.
Enraged Democrats charged that the Republicans were trying to steal the election. Some, crying “Tilden or Blood!” even threatened a new civil war if their candidate was not declared the victor. Finally, Congress appointed a commission of seven Democrats, seven Republicans, and one independent to determine which votes to accept and which to reject. The independent, however, Supreme Court Justice David Davis, resigned to take a seat in the Senate; his replacement was a Republican, and the die was cast. On an 8–7 party-line vote, the Republican vote totals were accepted. Hayes was named “the duly elected president of the United States” on March 3, 1877, the day before the inauguration.
The Democrats accepted this, although they derided Hayes as “Rutherfraud” throughout his presidency. Tilden took the news resignedly, saying: “I prefer four years of Hayes’ administration to four years of civil war.” He withdrew from the field while maintaining the rightness of his cause: “I can retire to private life with the consciousness that I shall receive from posterity the credit of having been elected to the highest position in the gift of the people, without any of the cares and responsibilities of the office.”
One reason why the Democrats did not draw out the dispute or refuse to accept the commission’s decision that Hayes had won was that they had driven a hard bargain: as a condition of their accepting Hayes’s election, they demanded, and received, the withdrawal of federal troops from the South. Reconstruction was over, and with it died any semblance of equality of rights for black Americans. Republican “carpetbaggers” packed up their carpetbags and returned to the North; the South became a one-party state that replicated antebellum society, with blacks denied voting rights and discriminated against in numerous other ways.
Was the reinforcement of second-class status for the freed slaves and the end of any chance to make America a society in which all people truly enjoyed equality of rights worth it, so that the country could experience the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes? No.
And here we may be again. But today, the Left has created an atmosphere so overheated that even a deal like that of 1876, as flawed as it was, may not be possible. Will Democrats accept the will of the people if their man loses? Or will it be Biden or Blood?

The election talk right now is about how, after authorities suspiciously ceased vote counting in states President Trump seemed poised to win, Michigan and Wisconsin suddenly “flipped” overnight and could give Joe Biden the presidency. But while such shenanigans were long planned and predicted, deeper questions should be pondered: How did America descend to a point where many state and local elections are run as in a Third World banana republic?
Related to this, how did we reach a stage at which a party with a radical, anti-American, anti-life, and anti-science agenda could be so electorally competitive that cheating would matter?
Author Dex Bahr laments this at American Thinker today, writing:
That the senile and corrupt Joe Biden could finish so strong speaks to either the gullibility or unseriousness of far too many Americans.Biden obviously has mental acuity issues and has a history of corruption, but that did not seem to be a big deal to the Americans who voted for him. I guess the probability of more lockdowns are lost on a number of Americans who are more frightened by the Wuhan virus than the probability of America becoming a socialist, if not communist, nation under a Biden presidency.
Speaking of a Biden presidency, if he were to win, odds are he would not finish out his first term. Vice President Kamala Harris would become president, a person who dropped out of the Democrat primaries before a single vote was cast based on her lack of voter support, and a politician who is one of the most leftist senators. So the people who squandered American freedom and prosperity for safety or because they don’t like Trump’s personality, are basically voting for a figurehead, to be replaced by guess who. Either these voters are oblivious to this fact or they simply do not care.
Bahr goes on to say that Biden voters also are either unaware of “his pay-for-play schemes with Ukraine, China, and more, as revealed by son Hunter’s laptop” or “think it’s not a point of contention.”
“Now granted, the corporate media and big tech teamed up to squelch these revelations, but the information could be found if one did one’s due diligence before casting a vote,” he continues. “Trump certainly mentioned Biden’s corruption in every single one of his rallies in the last few weeks.”
The problem, however, is deeper still. Just as how people get the government they deserve, as Joseph de Maistre observed, they also in a sense get the entertainment, academia, big business (including tech), and media they deserve.
This is overlooked and, as a proposition, can be taken the wrong way; it may appear condemnatory, as if one is saying, “You’re a bad person, and that’s why bad things are happening to you.”
Even without exploring the theology of man’s sinfulness, this issue isn’t quite that simple, though. If a person fails to maintain a country home and it degrades, we no doubt would consider hyperbolic the claim that its dilapidation is punishment for his wickedness. Yet if he pouted about how he didn’t deserve the broken down house, we may very well point out that he has no one to blame but himself.
All things in life move toward disorder without an application of energy; culture is no exception. Moreover, the energy often applied in our current culture, even by “good” people, is too frequently in the wrong direction.
Every time we purchase a product or service or watch a TV show we are essentially casting a “vote” for that thing. The many millions of these “votes” cast daily by Americans determine how our culture will be.
If enough people tuned out the propagandizing mainstream news, it wouldn’t be around to propagandize; the same is true of corruptive entertainment. If Americans didn’t pay the left-wing propaganda mills masquerading as institutions of “higher learning” to miseducate their kids, these colleges wouldn’t exist and the kids wouldn’t be miseducated. Yet many otherwise good people — a few close to me included — have funded these indoctrination centers (paying tuition) because sending their children to a “prestigious” institution is “the thing to do.”
If you could transport our toxic, vulgar, sexualized entertainment and loony academia back to, let’s say, 1954, people would be aghast. But most Americans today have through gradual, generational desensitization been inured to these things and blithely accept or even endorse them.
With politics downstream from culture, it’s unsurprising that the same phenomenon is apparent in politics. Matching the worst culture in America’s history is the worst presidential candidate (Biden), probably the worst vice presidential running mate (Harris), and worst party platform (the Democrats’) in our nation’s history.
Never intellectually impressive and long corrupt, gaffe-machine Biden is now also clearly suffering dementia, as Bahr noted (on Election Day, Biden introduced a granddaughter as his deceased son Beau and incorrectly said the latter had been a senator). Kamala Harris is a power-hungry phony who was rejected by her own party in the primaries and owns the Senate’s most left-wing voting record.
As for their party, it now generally favors prenatal infanticide up till birth; free healthcare for illegals; amnesty; open borders; a radical “transgender” agenda; statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. and eliminating the Electoral College (to cement power); packing the Supreme Court; economy-rending, “Green New Deal”-like environmental policies; and socialism.
Decades ago people even hinting at one-tenth such lunacy were relegated to society’s fringes and discussed their dystopian dreams in darkly lit rooms. Now their Demoralization 5.0 ideological descendants are elevated to prominence. Heck, it’s no surprise Biden was interviewed by vice-peddling, “WAP”-(in)famous rapper Cardi B: His party is now the Cardi B of politics.
And the modern West, increasingly, is becoming the Cardi B of world history. Don’t be surprised that our elections now are defined by Third World corruption. As our second president, John Adams, warned, “Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private [virtue].” — and private virtue is lacking today.
As I’ve often put it, we can’t MAGA unless we MAMA: Make America Moral Again. The consequence for not doing so will be the loss of our whole way of life. For as Adams warned in the second part of his above quotation, “Public virtue is the only foundation of republics.”

The mullahs had it so good from 2009 to 2017, they’re working hard to restore the status quo ante.
“DHS and FBI warn Iranian hackers are targeting state election websites and pushing disinformation,” by Jerry Dunleavy, Washington Examiner, October 31, 2020:
An Iranian cyber group was responsible for the targeting of U.S. election websites, the voter intimidation emails sent to potential voters, and the dissemination of election-related disinformation on voter fraud through a propaganda video this month, according to the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI.
DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the bureau issued a joint cybersecurity advisory related to an Iranian “advanced persistent threat” hacker organization just a few days before Tuesday’s presidential election, saying the U.S. analysis indicated that the Iranians had also “scanned state websites, to include state election websites” in late September and that it was also observed “attempting to exploit websites to obtain copies of voter registration data” in September and October. CISA and the FBI confirmed that the Iranian hackers “successfully obtained voter registration data in at least one state” and that “a review of the records that were copied and obtained reveals the information was used in the propaganda video.”
An FBI FLASH Alert also noted that Iranian cyber actors “are likely intent on influencing and interfering with the U.S. elections to sow discord among voters and undermine public confidence in the US electoral process” and “are creating fictitious media sites and spoofing legitimate media sites to spread anti-American propaganda and misinformation about voter suppression.” The FBI said that the Iranians “had taken specific actions to influence public opinion relating to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election” and advised that the Iranian-backed propaganda video that has circulated online “is almost certainly intended to make U.S. voter information and the voting process appear insecure and susceptible to fraud.”
There is no indication that the Iranian hackers have changed any votes or that they have the ability to interfere with any tallies….

Voting With a Biblical Worldview
The sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage and the protection of religious freedom are the key issues for Christians as they cast their vote in this year's election. There is only one party that upholds and supports these Christian values. Therefore, the decision should be easy for those who desire to please God. Yet recent polls indicate that many Christians will vote for the godless party platform which opposes Christian values and promotes a woman's "right" to destroy her unborn baby. What hope do the American people have if the people of God will not stand against evil and the powers of darkness? America is at a crossroads, and the Church must continue to be salt and light and the restraining force against the willing pawns of the evil one. We cannot be cowardly, or complicit or silent. We must stand up and speak out for what is right and true!
Voting Is Our Privilege and Responsibility
What is our Christian responsibility as American citizens? Is it a matter of conscience and Christian liberty as to how we vote? How can we approach this election with a biblical worldview? Our guiding principle should be to honor our Creator by submitting to the authority of His Word. As we make moral decisions, we must obey biblical commands and biblical prohibitions. It is true that we have two flawed candidates; however, the two platforms they represent are polarized morally, politically, and theologically. The two platforms are diametrically opposed on the issues of the sanctity of life and the sanctity of marriage. It is important to consider that these are spiritual and moral issues because they are clearly revealed throughout God's Word. All other issues must be secondary to these. As Christians, we must always oppose infanticide, the destruction of traditional marriage, and the pending loss of Christian liberty. Scripture exhorts us to destroy every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God and to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5).
Our Votes Could Help Put An End to What God Hates
God hates hands that shed innocent blood. They are an abomination to Him (Prov. 6:16-17). There is nothing more evil or wicked than destroying the innocent life of a defenseless baby in a mother's womb. Those who support politicians who give women the right to murder their unborn children are complicit with those who disobey the clear commandment of God - "...Do not murder" (Luke 18:20). Abortion is morally evil and a serious capital offense that must be outlawed and punished, not condoned, excused, overlooked, or allowed. "Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man (Gen. 9:6). Even an inadvertent killing of an unborn baby justified killing the responsible person (Exodus 21:22-23). How much more serious is it when done intentionally? Let us vote righteously to save unborn children who are the most defenseless and helpless of all people. We can be the voice for the voiceless.
Our Votes Reveal What We Approve or Disapprove
The apostle Paul warned those who give approval to people who practice such wickedness. He wrote: "...although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them (Rom. 1:32). We are to "have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them (Eph. 5:11). Christians who support an immoral, ungodly, and unbiblical platform are giving approval to their wicked works of darkness and clearly not reproving them. We are called to "abhor what is evil and hold fast to what is good" (Rom. 12:9). Since God requires government to restrain evil, voting is about supporting the candidate who will restrain as much evil as possible (1 Pet. 2:14).
Our Votes May Determine if We Rejoice or Groan
There is so much at stake in this year's election. After it is over, we will either rejoice or groan. "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man rules, people groan" (Prov. 29:2). We must vote and vote righteously because "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people" (Prov. 14:34). Christians have been called out of the world, sanctified by the truth, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live lives pleasing to our Lord. May all of our decisions of the conscience be fortified by a biblical worldview. Let us pray for God's people to do what is right!
How Are 53% of Protestant Pastors Voting?
Nashville-based LifeWay Research found 98% of Protestant pastors in the U.S. say they plan to vote in the presidential election. When they cast their ballot, 53% of pastors plan to vote for Donald Trump. Joe Biden is the choice of 21% and 22% say they are still undecided. About 4% say they are voting for a different candidate. When asked which characteristics of the candidates are important in deciding how to vote, clear majorities of pastors say the candidate's position on abortion (70%), their ability to protect religious freedom (65%) and their likely Supreme Court nominees (62%) are key factors. In terms of the most important issue in determining their vote, evangelical pastors are more likely than mainline pastors to say abortion is most important (33% to 5%). Read more.
An oxymoronic group that calls itself "Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden" has released a document calling for evangelical Christians to vote for pro-abortion candidate Joe Biden for president. Billy Graham's granddaughter is part of the group. It is inconceivable that all Christians would refuse to take a stand against abortion, yet Southern Baptist president, J.D. Greear, allows a pro-abortion woman to teach Bible study at his church. John Piper will not vote for the prideful pro-life candidate because it is "presumptuous to assume that pro-abortion policies kill more people than a culture-saturating, pro-self pride." What hope does our country have if the church cannot get it right?
Biden Was Asked: "How Will You Explain Supporting Abortion to God?"
A Tennessee Catholic bishop asked Joe Biden how he will account to God for his support of killing innocent unborn babies in abortions. Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville, Tennessee has not been shy about criticizing the Democrat presidential candidate. Biden claims to be a devout Catholic, but he supports abortions without restriction and wants to force taxpayers to pay for them. He and his vice-presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, are being described as the most pro-abortion presidential ticket in history.
The Catholic Church clearly condemns abortion and teaches that every human life is valuable from conception to natural death. Biden claims to faithfully live out his Catholic faith, but he openly opposes the church's teachings about the sanctity of human life. For these hypocritical claims, he is being called out by Catholic leaders across America. In 2019, a South Carolina priest even refused to give Biden communion because he supports killing unborn babies in abortions. Read more.
The Roman Catholic Church does not build its theology on the historical text of Scripture or on the authors' original intent. Instead, it has added 1600 years of religious traditions that nullify, distort and oppose the Word of God. The tragic result is that millions of Catholics are embracing a distorted gospel that is leading them down the wide road of destruction. Evangelist Mike Gendron gave a message on Catholic Teachings that Oppose the Gospel of John. As you listen to the message, you can view the Keynote slides here.
