New Jersey Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics on Capitol Hill, is demanding the president and his aides be investigated and prosecuted after they leave office.

Pascrell, D-9th Dist., said late Tuesday that a failure to do so would embolden “criminality by our national leaders” and continue "America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism.”

The congressman, re-elected Nov. 3, ticked off a litany of “innumerable crimes” that he said the president should be held accountable for.

“He has endangered our national security,” Pascrell said. “He ripped families apart. He poisoned the Census. He has personally profited from his office. He has attacked our elections and sought to throttle democracy. He was rightly impeached by the House of Representatives. He has engaged in treachery, in treason. He has all but given up on governing and protecting our nation and if he had a shred of dignity he would resign today.”
Pascrell said that the U.S. Justice Department and others should investigate the entire Trump administration next year, and that any effort by the president to pardon his aides should be considered “obstruction of justice” and a self-pardon would be illegal.

“Donald Trump along with his worst enablers must be tried for their crimes against our nation and Constitution,” Pascrell said. “Failure to hold financial and political wrongdoing accountable

in the past has invited greater malfeasance by bad actors. A repeat of those failures in 2021 further emboldens criminality by our national leaders and continues America down the path of lawlessness and authoritarianism. There must be accountability.”

The Trump campaign nor the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
 
One of Trump’s most loyal members in the House, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., did respond, calling Pascrell’s position “disgusting.”

Pascrell has used Twitter, Trump’s favorite communications medium, to regularly bash the president and his aides.

He also led the so-far unsuccessful effort to obtain Trump’s tax returns, and quickly used his new position as chair of the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee to demand that Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles Rettig release the returns.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: NATIONAL VACCINE INFORMATION CENTER ABOUT CHILD VACCINES WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT

Dear NVIC Advocacy Team Members,

We need your quick one minute action to reach out to the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, to tell her to VETO B23-0171.

The DC City Council passed the dangerous and predatory bill B23-0171 by a vote of 10:3 on Tuesday 11/17/2020. This law will not only permit children 11 years old and older to consent to vaccines on their own without parental knowledge or consent, the bill requires insurance companies, vaccine providers and schools to conceal the fact that the child has been vaccinated from the parent! It also sets up these young children to be targets of bullying and coercion to be vaccinated behind their parents' backs!

There are multiple federal and local laws that will be broken by this new DC law (Family Educational Rights and Privacy ActNational Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986Religious Exemption to Vaccination). The law is also in conflict with Supreme Court precedent affirming parental rights, and it puts children’s health and safety at risk not only for serious reactions and even possible death, but it exposes children to be victims of under-documented overvaccination.

Mayor Bowser has up to 10 days to respond.  We need her to VETO this new law.  Please help her get the message loud and clear that America is watching and this is not an acceptable action by government!

Contact DC Mayor Muriel Bowser IMMEDIATELY to VETO B23-0171 Vaccinating Children Behind Parents’ Backs

Did Dominion Help Hugo Chavez Maintain Dominion Over Venezuela?

The disinformation media is projecting that all information challenging this fraudulent election is “disinformation.”

The disinformation media is trying to stop people from exposing their disinformation. But it’s no longer working the way it used to because there are now too many independent journalists who have decided to do the job that journalists are supposed to do, which is to follow the truth to wherever it goes.

As I wrote on what’s left of my social media platforms, about the “no evidence” media:

There is “no evidence” that Islam motivates jihad, “no evidence” that antifa are fascists, “no evidence” that “anti-racists” are racist, “no evidence” that “peaceful protests” are murderous riots….

“This election was completely free of fraud.” -the fraudulent media

The “Kavanaugh was a gang rapist” media

The “Trump is an illegitimate president” media

The “Islam means peace” media

The “climate change is an existential threat” media

The “Trump is Hitler” media

The “Jussie Smollett attack was real” media

The violent riots are “peaceful protests” media

Etc.

Regarding the dominion software that the leftist media is desperately trying to Not Cover, here’s some of what IS being covered about it, from a story at Bongino.com titled Scenes From a Not So Free and Fair Election:

“Dominion has a software that it gets from a company called SmartMatics. SmartMatics is a Delaware company, but it’s owned by Venezuelans. Venezuelans who are close to Chavez and Maduro. They actually count the vote. They count the vote in Barcelona, Spain. So the vote goes from here to Barcelona, Spain. They count it and then they give it back to us.”

“Can their software change the vote?” Giuliani asks rhetorically. “Any way they want. Absolutely.”

He mentions the 6,000-vote flip in Antrim County, Michigan that we’ve heard so much about. Although election officials claim this was an accidental glitch, Giuliani believes otherwise.

Giuliani provides some background on SmartMatics. The company “was actually established by Chavez. And the whole purpose of it was to steal elections. It’s their expertise. Stealing elections.”

And this just in, from The Epoch Times, in an article titled “Whistleblower Alleges Software Manipulated Votes to Change Venezuelan Election Results”

“I was witness to the creation and operation of a sophisticated electronic voting system that permitted the leaders of the Venezuelan government to manipulate the tabulation of votes for national and local elections and select the winner of those elections in order to gain and maintain their power,” the affidavit states.

“From that point on, Chavez never lost any election. In fact, he was able to ensure wins for himself, his party, Congress persons and mayors from townships.”

The whistleblower claimed the “software and fundamental design of the electronic electoral system and software of Dominion and other election tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendant of the Smartmatic Electoral Management System.”

“In short, the Smartmatic software is in the DNA of every vote tabulating company’s software and system,” the whistleblower said.

And I’ll leave you with this passionate woman from Venezuela warning about how Dominion election software, used by 28 states in America, was used to steal elections in Venezuela. And she even notes that –similar to our election—votes changed dramatically in the middle of the night.

Update: the leftist media is claiming that there’s no connection between the companies, Smartmatic and Dominion, that Guliani cited, but as usual, they’re lying.

Dominion Servers Seized In Germany – Findings Will “Shake The Globalists to Their Core”

Trump Recount Committee warns of mass left-wing violence after Trump's re-election

BY KELEN MCBREEN

SEE: https://www.infowars.com/posts/dominion-servers-seized-in-germany-findings-will-shake-the-globalists-to-their-core/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

During a Wednesday interview on Newsmax, Trump Recount Committee member Brian Trascher claimed overseas servers for voting machine company Dominion have been seized.

“Now that we have seized the servers for Dominion that were over in Germany, we’re starting to get some raw data off of that,” he explained. “I want everybody to listen to me. The things that are going to come out are going to shake the globalists to their very core.”

Next, Trascher warned Americans that the months of rioting seen around the country leading up to the election will appear tame in comparison to what will be unleashed once Trump is re-elected.

“When President Trump is declared the winner of this election, what you saw last weekend in the streets with Trump supporters getting attacked in DC, that’s nothing. These people are coming for every city and every suburb, so be prepared because this is happening and you need to protect yourself.”

When asked to specify on “what things are going to come out,” regarding Dominion servers and election fraud, Trascher countered with his own question.

“Why are American election ballots being counted overseas?” he pondered. “That’s a question I’ve yet to get to the bottom of. But some of the raw data coming off of this is showing clear examples of how votes were actually switched by an algorithm in the software.”

“It was distributed for every single vote that goes one way for one candidate, they automatically add votes in the other,” Trascher continued. “That’s why you saw in the New York Times own data tracker on election night, within 68 seconds President Trump went from being ahead by tens of thousands of votes – I think it was in Wisconsin – to all of a sudden being behind ten thousand votes. In 68 seconds, that’s a statistical anomaly.”

The Trump Recount Committee member also said the elite are “freaked out” that Dominion and Smartmatic are household names.

He noted federal court cases have just started, and that cases that were thrown out in recent weeks were all in “state courts run by Democrat hack judges.”

As mainstream media constantly claims the election is over and Joe Biden has won, it is clear that legal battles will decide the fate of the American presidency.

 
 

 

Cybersecurity Director Chris Krebs Dismissed Claims of Election Fraud~Trump: You’re Fired!

Cybersecurity Director Chris Krebs Dismissed Claims of Election Fraud. Trump: You’re Fired!

BY BOB ADELMANN

SEE: https://thenewamerican.com/cybersecurity-director-chris-krebs-dismissed-claims-of-election-fraud-trump-youre-fired/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

President Donald Trump ran out of patience with Chris Krebs, his director of CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), and on Tuesday night fired him, as he noted in a tweet:

The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud — including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, ‘glitches’ in the voting machines which changed votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more.

Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Krebs knew it was coming. For weeks he had been denying that there was intentional fraud involved in the president election, even setting up a “Rumor Control” website that repeatedly challenged the president’s claims of fraud.

On November 12, his agency released a statement declaring that the election was “the most secure in American history”:

The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result.

There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised….

While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.

When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections.

A closer look revealed that Krebs had a close relationship not only with Miles Taylor, who recently disclosed that he was the anti-Trump resistance author “Anonymous,” but also with top people at Dominion Voting Systems (DVS). It’s increasingly clear that DVS was the primary tool allegedly used to swing the election to Joe Biden.

Krebs hosted an Election Night “watch party” that was attended by two staffers of DVS. In addition, Krebs retweeted a message urging people not to circulate “wild and baseless claims about voting machines, even if they’re made by the president.”

The last straw was Krebs’ tweet on Tuesday afternoon:

ICYMI: On allegations that election systems were manipulated, 59 election security experts all agree, “in every case of which we are aware, these claims either have been unsubstantiated or are technically incoherent.”

Those “59 election security experts” apparently hadn’t learned that renowned attorney L. Lin Wood (who successfully represented “Atlanta bomber” Richard Jewell and Kentucky teenager Nicholas Sandmann) had spent a day with Trump’s top legal experts Rudy Guliani and Sydney Powell reviewing their proof of election fraud. Afterwards, Wood told Newsmax TV host Howie Carr:

I’ve seen sworn affidavits, I’ve seen sworn video statements. I think that Rudy and Sidney have done a magnificent job in a short period of time of piecing together a solid legal case on what was intended to be a complicated scheme of fraud as it relates to the voting machines….

When you boil it down, it simply amounts to the fact that the United States of American was relying on voting machines that were subject to manipulation.

One of those affidavits came from a member of former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez’s security detail. In it he said:

I was witness to the creation and operation of a sophisticated electronic voting system that permitted the leaders of the Venezuelan government to manipulate the tabulation of votes for national and local elections and select the winner of those elections in order to gain and maintain their power….

[The] software and fundamental design of the electronic electoral system and software of Dominion and other election tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendant of the Smartmatic Electoral Management System.

The editorial staff at World Net Daily revealed that the CEO of Smartmatic, Antonio Mugica, admitted in an Associated Press interview in August 2017 that his company’s machines and software created at least one million votes for Hugo Chávez in Venezuela. While this alone is not proof of fraud here in America, it certainly raises suspicions and ought to be investigated further.

It was long past time for the president to rid himself of Krebs. If he ends up winning a second term, it is likely that the president will continue to clean his administration obstructionists in an effort to make certain that no presidential candidate in the future will have to face such evident and provable election fraud.

15 Senators, including CHRIS COONS, Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders, urge Facebook to block ‘anti-Muslim hate’

BY ROBERT SPENCER

Incitement to violence against any group should always be blocked. The problem here is that Islamic advocacy groups and their allies in the West have for years claimed that any honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad violence was “anti-Muslim hate.” Facebook already makes such discussion virtually impossible to find. Expect it to be completely blacked out in a Biden/Harris administration.

“US senators call on Facebook to address anti-Muslim bigotry,” Middle East Eye, November 16, 2020 (thanks to Henry):

Democratic senators are calling on Facebook to “do more” to mitigate the spread of anti-Muslim bigotry, after the social media giant was criticised for failing to address attacks against the faith group on multiple occasions, including the aftermath of the Christchurch shootings.

In a letter sent to Facebook to CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday, a group of 15 Senators said the platform needed to immediately enforce its community standards to address anti-Muslim hate and ban the use of event pages for the purpose of “harassment, organizing, and violence” against the Muslim community.

The letter also said that Facebook had not taken proper steps to enforce its “call to arms” policy, a year-old rule created in large part due to pressure from Muslim advocacy groups, which since 2015 had flagged multiple instances where organisers of Facebook events had advocated for followers to bring weapons to mosques and other places of worship.

“We recognize that Facebook has announced efforts to address its role in the distribution of anti-Muslim content in some of these areas,” the letter, signed by Senator Chris Coons, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and 12 others, said.

“Nevertheless, it is not clear that the company is meaningfully better positioned to prevent further human rights abuses and violence against Muslim minorities today.”

An independent civil rights audit of the social media company released in July outlined that despite having policies that did not allow for hate speech against religious groups, incidents of hate speech continued to persist across Facebook.

Muslim Advocates, a rights group that called for the audit two years ago, thanked the senators for writing the letter.

“Since 2015, Muslim Advocates had warned Facebook that the platform’s event pages were being used by violent militias and white nationalists to organize armed rallies at mosques,” the group’s executive director Farhana Khera said on Monday.

“We need to know what Facebook plans to do to end the anti-Muslim hate and violence enabled by their platform – and end it now.”…

“As members of Congress who are deeply disturbed by the proliferation of this hate speech on your platform, we urge you to do more,” the senators’ letter read.

With another COVID-19 wave on the horizon, several states are restricting the number of guests you can have over for Thanksgiving.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, however, is adding several new measures, including testing and quarantining for people coming into the state (with some exceptions) and requiring the wearing of masks in your own home if you have company over.

Pennsylvania already has a statewide mask mandate and other social distancing guidelines. But these new mandates are in response to a spike in cases despite their existing coronavirus-fighting efforts.

It’s a good time to move to Florida.

Despite the release of the results of the largest face mask study ever performed which concluded that masks have a statistically insignificant effect on spreading the coronavirus, tyrants in the state of Pennsylvania are ordering residents to wear them, all the time, even in your own home.

“Strengthening masking order,” the Pennsylvania Health Department tweeted yesterday. “Masks are still required. Indoors: masks now required anytime you’re with people outside of your household, even if you’re socially distant. Applies to all indoor facilities + if you have people in your home not part of your household,” they continued.

Nevermind that your home is your castle and the state has no authority over how to act in your own home. These people aren’t in this for your health — they are about totalitarian control. It was understandable, though arguable, that people may have thought that face masks may have had some impact on the spread of the coronavirus during the early stages of the outbreak. There were very little data and science to go on. However, the fixation with facemasks — particularly among the far-left Democrat states — is indicative of something much more sinister. These people want to control you.

PENNSYLVANIA: Trump Lawyer Faces Harassment From Boockvar’s Law Firm

EXCLUSIVE: Lawyer at Pa. Secretary of State's Law Firm Harassed Trump Lawyer, Accused Her of Treason

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

On Sunday, a lawyer representing President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign in the case against Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar asked the court to sanction Boockvar’s law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, after a lawyer at the firm allegedly sent her harassing phone calls, text messages, and physical threats.

The Trump lawyer, Linda Kerns, in a filing provided exclusively to PJ Media, claims she has faced “continuous harassment in the form of abusive e-mails, phone calls, physical and economic threats, and even accusations of treason – all for representing the President of the United States’ campaign in this litigation.”

Kerns claims an unnamed lawyer in the office of Kirkland & Ellis, the outside law firm representing Boockvar, had broken “the laws of decorum.”

“It is quintessentially the Court’s role to police and appropriately sanction law firms appearing in front of it for such conduct,” Kerns argues.

In the filing, the Trump lawyer specifies that on “November 14, 2020 at 8:43am, an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis left a one-minute voicemail for undersigned counsel. The voicemail, which has been provided to counsel of record from Kirkland & Ellis in this case and will be provided to the Court via email upon request, speaks for itself and by any measure falls afoul of standards of professional conduct.”

Kerns cites Local Rule 83.23.2, which adopts a code of professional conduct in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. That code of conduct includes a commitment to “treat with civility and respect the lawyers, clients, opposing parties, the court and all the officials with whom I work.” The Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct also state that a “lawyer should demonstrate respect for the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers and public officials.”

Kerns claims she contacted Boockvar’s legal team about this harassment and the law firm claimed the harassing voicemail may not have come from Kirland & Ellis. Yet the law firm later admitted the caller ID suggested the call came from the firm, but “excused the conduct by saying the lawyer (who works in the same office) does not work on this case or in litigation, and offering that the call was ‘discourteous’ and apologizing for wasting time.”

“That is not good enough under the Rules of this Court or the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, and this Court’s authority to issue sanctions exists in order to protect litigants, counsel, and the Rules themselves,” Kerns added. “It is sad that we currently reside in a world where abuse and harassment are the costs of taking on a representation unpopular with some. It is sanctionable when that abuse and harassment comes from an elite law firm representing the Secretary of State. An appropriate sanction should issue—one which deters such misconduct in the future.”

Kerns filed a motion for an order to show cause relating to harassment.

This filing comes in the midst of a critical election lawsuit. The Trump campaign sued Boockvar, claiming that the State of Pennsylvania set up an “illegal two-tiered voting system for the 2020 General Election, devaluing in-person votes.” Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis claimed that Pennsylvania’s election results are “irredeemably compromised.” The lawsuit seeks an order from the court preventing Boockvar from certifying the results of the election.

According to Decision Desk HQ, Democratic nominee Joe Biden leads Trump by just over 45,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Most news outlets hailed Biden as the president-elect after calling Pennsylvania for the Democrat.

This filing is unlikely to make an impact in the overall litigation, but the alleged harassment is disturbing. President Trump has a right to contest the election results and to point out serious irregularities — and there were many in Pennsylvania. Even if Biden prevails in the election after the litigation is settled, Trump’s lawyers are not traitors for representing the president during this process.

Amani al-Khatahtbeh tells her story on Twitter:

Here is video:

Most people, of any and every race and creed, can recall an incident or incidents in which someone cut in a line in front of them, but Amani al-Khatahtbeh, a self-described “veiled Muslim woman,” took it upon herself to create a clamor and claim that the incident was all about race, openly labeling the man an “entitled white man” and then accusing him of a temper tantrum as the incident escalated.  No Muslim, or anyone else, should be subject to discrimination or racism; but in observing al-Khatahtbeh’s approach to this incident, one can understand why her aggressiveness may have caused nervousness among other passengers. She tweeted:

Y’all know if I, a VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN, had the audacity to throw a temper tantrum and run through TSA security, I would have gotten BODIED. I would have been detained, missed my flight, possibly gotten charged, etc.

The man did not initially throw a  “temper tantrum,” by her own account; nor did he “run through TSA security.” He went ahead of her, explaining that he was in first class with TSA precheck. He may have been rude, as many people are to others of all races and creeds. But now the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is involved, acknowledging that all the facts are not yet known, but nevertheless escalating the incident further with erroneous accusations of discrimination against American Airlines:

“Although we do not yet know all of the facts about this incident, we do know that American Airlines has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement.”

It is policy to remove a passenger who is disagreeable and creating a scene, and then to investigate afterward.

Like good little dhimmis, American Airlines, after the pattern of many other businesses, will likely apologize and even pay money to al-Khatahtbeh and CAIR in order to end the accusations of “Islamophobia.” Instead, the airline should be challenging CAIR for stating that it “has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers.”

Imagine if everyone made a scene and hurled accusations of discrimination about every person butting in line in front of them. It would also hardly make news, unless of course it was a “veiled Muslim woman” with “unindicted co-conspirator” CAIR backing her.

“A Muslim woman says she was removed from an American Airlines flight because a white passenger felt ‘uncomfortable'”, by Yelena Dzhanova, Insider, November 15, 2020:

A Muslim influencer said she was booted from an American Airlines flight in New Jersey on Saturday because a white male passenger told agents he did not “feel comfortable” with her onboard.

Amani al-Khatahtbeh, an activist and the founder of a blog geared toward Muslim women, said in a Twitter thread that “an entitled white man” complained about her after a tense interaction while standing in line for airport security.

The man, whose identity is not yet known, was standing behind her when he “insisted on cutting me in line because I was ‘still taking my shoes off,'” al-Khatahtbeh said in a tweet.

“When I said he could wait like everyone else, he started going off about how he’s ‘pre check’ and ‘first class,'” she added.

The man then pushed his luggage and shoes ahead of hers, al-Khatahtbeh said in a tweet, and then ran through the body-scanning machine.

“TSA did NOTHING,” she wrote on Twitter. “Not only did they not do anything, a TSA officer had the audacity to tell ME to ‘cut it out.'”

Al-Khatahtbeh wrote in a subsequent tweet that if she had behaved in the same way as the man had, she would have faced retribution from security.

“Y’all know if I, a VEILED MUSLIM WOMAN, had the audacity to throw a temper tantrum and run through TSA security, I would have gotten BODIED,” she added. “I would have been detained, missed my flight, possibly gotten charged, etc.”

When she boarded the flight, she learned that the man had complained about her to an airline agent, she said. American Airlines then tried to remove her from the flight.

Al-Khatahtbeh posted a video to Twitter in which a man wearing a yellow American Airlines manager vest is saying he’s going to remove her.

“The captain asked me, as a manager, for me to remove you from the aircraft because there’s a passenger on board who doesn’t feel comfortable with you being here,” he said.

The manager is heard saying in the video that he was not there to witness the interaction between al-Khatahtbeh and the passenger.

She then told the manager she didn’t feel comfortable with that passenger. “I want that passenger removed as well,” she told him.

The manager told her they can “discuss that outside.” The video does not show the passenger in reference.

Al-Khatahtbeh told Insider that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim rights nonprofit, has reached out to American Airlines on her behalf.

“Although we do not yet know all of the facts about this incident, we do know that American Airlines has a history of mistreating Muslim travelers,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a statement to Insider. “The airline must immediately explain why it singled out Amani by contacting the police and ejecting her from a flight based on the word of a man who had allegedly harassed her.”…

"REPUBLICAN" GOVERNOR KEMP:

TRUMP ATTORNEY LIN WOOD:

BY JEFF REYNOLDS

In a tweet Monday afternoon, attorney Lin Wood announced that he had filed an amended complaint against the secretary of state of Georgia alleging due process violations in regards to the contested presidential election in that state. In that tweet, he also said Governor Brian Kemp “better come out of his basement.”

Wood has been hammering Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, over the perception that they aren’t doing enough to reject invalid ballots in the recount of the presidential election. Kemp and Raffensperger are both Republicans, but have been accused of blocking President Trump’s attempts to investigate allegations of election fraud in Georgia.

Wood, who represented Nicholas Sandmann in his defamation lawsuit against the Washington Post and currently represents Kyle Rittenhouse in his murder defense, joined the Trump legal team to litigate suspected election fraud in several battleground states. He has adamantly claimed that Trump won in a landslide, but that the Democrats stole the election via surreptitious means.

Georgia County Finds 2,600 Votes During Recount—Elections Director Asked to Step Down

Wood has mounted an unrelenting public relations campaign against Brian Kemp.

In fact, Wood accused Kemp and Raffensperger of receiving kickbacks from the state elections software contract.

As an outspoken critic of the election process, Wood has, naturally, suffered social media shadowbans.

Wood went on John Fredericks’ show in Virginia on Monday to explain why he filed suit against the Georgia secretary of state, and to detail his suspicions about the election:

The lawsuit I filed was against the secretary of state and other appropriate defendants. And it stems out of a March 2020 consent settlement that the secretary of state entered into in litigation with the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party was represented by Perkins Coie– you might also call Perkins Coie the Hillary Clinton Law Firm. But that consent agreement made substantive changes in the absentee voting rules. You can’t do that.

Only the state legislature is permitted to make a change in a federal election conducted in the state. That’s been strongly suggested and will be upheld eventually by Judge Justice Alito in Pennsylvania. Even recently by a judge in California where they tried the same thing with the governor. So they changed the rules under the guise of COVID to try to increase the ability of people to vote by mail.

And as a result, you got fraud of a massive amount through the mail-in votes and you’ve also got fraud in your computer voting machines. It’s not the first time they’ve done this. What happened this time is that Trump won by such a large margin that they had to go out and get these mail-in votes in the middle of the night to try to carry some of the key states.

But in Georgia, the election is void and unlawful. It’s going to work through the court system unless the state legislature was to take action in advance of the courts because the election is void. There’s going to have to be a new election. They can’t do it for the president. They’re going to do it through the electoral college. But every down-ballot contest is going to have to be redone. It’s not going to be a runoff. It’s going to have to be a new election.

He went on to say that Governor Brian Kemp has been nowhere to be found. Wood is not the only one publicly calling for Kemp to respond. Last week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla. ) went on Hannity to talk about the irregularities in the Georgia election:

Gaetz talked up how Florida changed its system and said, “Every Republican state legislator has an obligation now to persue election integrity legislation in their state to ensure that we do not have these mass mailings of ballots.”

He then took a shot at Kemp, saying, “Brian Kemp was chief elections official for the state of Georgia. Why didn’t he do the things that Ron DeSantis did during his transition to clean up the process, to ensure integrity, to remove the bad actors, and then to give our voters confidence.”

Hannity asked, “Why didn’t he do it now?”

“I think that for Brian Kemp,” Gaetz continued, “it was more important that Kelly Loeffler beat Doug Collins than that Donald Trump beat Joe Biden. He could’ve set that Collins-Loeffler primary earlier. We would’ve had a more united Republican party if that were the case, but in a close election that stuff really matters. It really matters, Sean. And he did not put us in the best position to win.”

PJ Media’s Rick Moran reported this morning that Georgia’s secretary of state did respond, unlike Kemp:

Several outlets are reporting that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is saying fellow Republicans are pressuring him to find ways to exclude legal ballots. And Donald Trump spent the weekend trashing Raffensperger as being a “RINO” for allowing mail-in ballots.

Associated Press:

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday that Sen. Lindsey Graham asked him whether he had the power to reject certain absentee ballots, a question he interpreted as a suggestion to toss out legally cast votes.

“It sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road,” Raffensperger said.

Raffensperger made the comments to The Washington Post, saying he’s faced rising pressure from fellow Republicans who want to see Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow lead in the state reversed. Nearly 5 million votes were cast in the presidential election in Georgia, and Biden was leading President Donald Trump by about 14,000 votes.

At a “Stop the Steal” rally in front of the governor’s mansion, Brian Kemp was nowhere to be seen. His absence fueled more bitterness as the Wall Street Journal reports that many Republicans worry the breach may cost them one or both Senate seats.

As the election lawsuits rage on, collateral damage will inevitably result.

DOMINION/SMARTMATIC ELECTION FRAUD UPDATES: ATTORNEY SIDNEY POWELL INTERVIEWS

Sidney Powell: Smartmatic Voting Machine’s Chairman of the Board Peter Neffenger Named to Joe Biden’s ‘Transition Team’

Mark Levin interviews Sidney Powell on Dominion Voting Systems 

Listen to Mark Levin's full show here: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/d... On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Dominion Voting System was recently profiled by PBS as part of their reporting on making elections more secure. However, Democrats filed multiple lawsuits prior to the election to weaken the safeguards protecting elections in all of the battleground states. Alex Halderman, a white-hat hacker checking for vulnerabilities, found that glitches in the programs caused candidate names to disappear. There were several systemic issues with the Dominion Voting System that affected the election and they were known at least three weeks prior to the election. Yet, federal judge Amy Totenberg allowed the State of Georgia to use this system anyway even after the vulnerabilities were known and a last-minute patch was issued to repair it. Then, Federal litigator Sidney Powell calls in to discuss an affidavit from a witness that has come forward to testify of their involvement in using this software to change vote counts in Venezuela and at least one other country. Powell re-iterated that there is plenty of opposition from all sides to end this litigation. Sen.'s Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-KS) have issued letters in the past requesting information on the security of this software. Powell believes that Dominion Voting System has negatively affected several million votes in favor of Joe Biden. The people attacking the recount are undermining our constitutional system. Those trying to eliminate Trump's due process are showing their fascistic colors.

Trump COVID Adviser: “The Only Way This Stops Is If People Rise Up”

BY STEVE WATSON

Dr. Scott Atlas, a leading member of President Trump’s coronavirus task force, announced Sunday that “The only way this stops is if people rise up.”

Atlas was responding to the decree of a new lockdown by Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Atlas tweeted out a thread with Whitmer’s announcement, and a graphic made by The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services highlighting what will be allowed to remain open and what will be forced to closed.

Atlas encouraged people of Michigan to “rise up”, and added “You get what you accept. #FreedomMatters #StepUp”:

We have been warning you for months, if not years, of the WHO’s depopulation plan. Only now is it confirmed by world leaders that COVID was designed for the Agenda 2030 to begin.

Leftists immediately accused the doctor of encouraging violence, and ‘endangering’ Whitmer’s life:

Atlas clarified that he never endorsed violence of any sort:

Whitmer responded to Atlas during an interview with CNN, stating “We know that the White House likes to single us out here in Michigan — me out in particular. I’m not gonna be bullied into not following reputable scientists and medical professionals.”

Sidney Powell, Who Promised to ‘Release the Kraken,’ Joins Trump Legal Team

Despite the media claiming Trump has acknowledged that Biden “won” the election, President Trump clearly signaled the opposite Saturday night when he announced the addition of Sidney Powell to his campaign’s legal team.

“I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!”

Sidney Powell entered the national spotlight when she became the defense attorney for former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, dramatically changing the trajectory of his legal fortunes.

On Friday, Powell told Lou Dobbs of Fox Business that she is going to “release the Kraken,” and that she “can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion.”

“President Trump won this election in a landslide,” Powell told Dobbs. “It’s going to be irrefutable. Patriots are coming forward every day, all day, faster than we can collect their information.”

“We’ve got statistical evidence of just hundreds of thousands of votes just being put in and replicated,” she added, before she called for a  “massive criminal investigation,” which she says will “affect millions of voters and elections.”

“People need to come forward now and get on the right side of this issue and report the fraud they know existed in Dominion Voting Systems because that’s what it was created to do,” she continued. “It was its sole original purpose, it has been used all over the world to defy the will of people who wanted freedom.”

Dobbs then responded by noting that there have been multiple attempts to “overthrow his presidency” and asked Powell if she agrees the alleged voter fraud that occurred in the presidential election was part of it.

“Oh, absolutely,” she replied. “It’s been organized and conducted with the help of Silicon Valley people, the big tech companies, the social media companies, and even the media companies. And I’m going to release the Kraken.”

Leftist MUSLIM privilege: Ilhan Omar has paid husband’s political consulting firm nearly $2,800,000

BY ROBERT SPENCER

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

If there were an investigation, which there almost certainly will not be, Ilhan Omar would likely be found completely innocent of any wrongdoing, no matter what the facts of the case may be. Why? Because as a quadruple victim — female, migrant, black, Muslim — she has a coveted protected status in American society today, and privilege to do essentially whatever she wants. I’m not saying she is guilty of violating any laws here, as there is no law against a political campaign hiring a relative or spouse. But this is the same sort of situation as that of Hunter and Joe Biden. Hunter Biden was hired by a Ukrainian oil company for a massive salary despite having no experience in the industry. Even if no actual laws were broken, it was quite clearly a case of buying influence in the U.S. government, just as Omar here is taking advantage of a lacuna in the laws to funnel campaign money into her personal account. And of course, there is plenty of evidence of her violating other laws. Nonetheless, no matter what she has done, she is golden. If she were a Christian male born in the U.S., and a conservative, there would be heavy pressure on her to resign in disgrace, she would be vilified in the media on a regular basis, and legal proceedings would be underway against her.

“Rep. Omar has paid husband’s political consulting firm nearly $2.8M,” by Mark Moore, New York Post, November 11, 2020:

Rep. Ilhan Omar has funneled nearly $2.8 million to her husband’s political consulting company since the beginning of 2019, according to a report.

Omar’s campaign paid $1.6 million to E Street Group LLC, which is owned by her husband, Tim Mynett, from the start of 2019 to July 22, 2020, Fox News reported Tuesday, citing Federal Election Commission data.

Another $1.1 million was sent to the firm in the third quarter and $27,000 in the following weeks.

The $1.1 million figure represented nearly 70 percent of the $1.6 million that her campaign spent in those three months, the report said.

The expenses were for a range of campaign services, including cable advertising, “digital consulting,” video production and editing, Fox News said.

Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, easily won re-election last week.

Her campaign and E Street Group did not respond to requests for comment from Fox News.

Omar has defended her expenses and said her campaign worked with Mynett’s firm long before they began a relationship.

“We consulted with a top FEC campaign attorney to ensure there were no possible legal issues with our relationship,” she said in a Twitter post in March, just days after she married Mynett. “We were told this is not uncommon and that no, there weren’t.”…

Airlines to Require “Health Pass,” Vaccine Certificate Before Allowing Passengers to Fly

BY PAUL JOSEPH WATSON

SEE: https://summit.news/2020/11/13/report-airlines-to-require-health-pass-vaccine-certificate-before-allowing-passengers-to-fly/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

Airlines are likely to require passengers to sign up for a “health pass” which includes a digital certificate of vaccination against COVID-19 before allowing them to fly, according to a new report.

The system would be similar in nature to that being considered by Ticketmaster, who it was revealed earlier this week are considering making customers prove they’ve had the vaccine or a negative coronavirus test before allowing them to purchase tickets.

Ticketmaster later clarified that a final decision on such measures would be up to event organizers but that they were still mulling over the implementation of the system.

Now according to a new report by Axios, airlines are likely to follow the same model.

“Three global alliances representing 58 airlines are pushing governments to allow widespread COVID-19 testing of passengers instead of existing quarantine restrictions that they argue are ineffective and have killed travel demand,” states the report.

Airline passengers would be subject to similar measures being considered by Ticketmaster whereby they would have to verify they’ve been vaccinated or tested negative 24 to 72 hours before the flight.

“The bottom line: No heath pass? No admittance. And perhaps, no flying,” states the report.

The system would likely be organized under the auspices of CommonPass, a program sponsored by the World Economic Forum, which is pushing for a post-COVID “Great Reset” that would transform the world.

With Uber and other companies also beginning to refuse services to people who fail to comply with coronavirus restrictions, the “new normal” will likely create a lower caste of refuseniks who are barred from traveling, any form of social life, and in the future even basic financial services.

Joe Biden’s Covid-19 Taskforce Member Recommends Withholding Food Stamps, Rent Assistance From Those Who Refuse Vaccines

Get ready for an Orwellian medical police state run by fascist vaccine pushers & Big Tech censors

BY MIKE ADAMS

SEE: https://www.infowars.com/posts/joe-bidens-covid-19-taskforce-member-recommends-withholding-food-stamps-rent-assistance-from-those-who-refuse-vaccines/;

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational & research purposes:

If you vote for tyrants, you get tyranny.

This is what millions of Joe Biden supporters are about to discover if their candidate manages to steal the election and seize control of the White House.

A prominent member of Biden’s Covid-19 taskforce, a CIA-linked operative named Luciana Borio, says that people who refuse to be vaccinated should be deprived of food stamps and rent assistance.

And in order to convince Black Americans to take the vaccines, influencers should be hired to brainwash Blacks with special compliance messages that are scientifically tested in social engineering focus groups.

In other words, obey or starve. This is all contained in the report linked in this story, by the way.

This is on top of another Biden taskforce member now calling for a 4-6 week national lockdown for all Americans — a kind of national economic suicide to finish off whatever small businesses might have survived the covid nightmare so far.

This covid tyranny is exactly what we’ve warned was coming: Lockdown tyranny and vaccine tyranny, enforced through a horrifying new “medical credit scoring” system that tracks your compliance with government mandates for vaccines, lockdowns and masks.

The task force member in question here is Luciana Borio, MD, the Vice President of In-Q-Tel, a CIA-linked propaganda front that uses social engineering tactics to enslave humanity. She’s listed as the top member of the “Working Group of Readying Populations for COVID-19 Vaccines” as described in a document from the Center for Health Security, released in July of this year by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. A copy of this PDF has been saved at the Natural News servers, in case they try to take it down from its original location.

The document says that federal agencies should collude to develop a “national promotion strategy” — which might as well be called a “national propaganda strategy” — for convincing people to take potentially dangerous and deadly covid-19 vaccines which have skipped any real rigorous testing.

“Bundling” of vaccinations with food stamps, health care and rent assistance

The document recommends that vaccine mandates get “bundled” with other social services such as food stamps (WIC program), rent assistance and health care services. The report explains:

Local and state public health agencies should explore collaboration with interagency and nongovernment partners to bundle vaccination with other safety net services.

It also says that “bundling” vaccines with food stamps would be, “a way to build trust and streamline vaccine provision” among low-income people such as “Blacks and minority communities.”

Yes, just as we’ve all known for quite some time, the depopulation vaccines will be targeting Blacks in America, which is exactly what the abortion industry targets as well. But anyone who criticizes the forcing of vaccines onto Black Americans will be called racist, of course. The report also talks about putting in place a medical police state monitoring infrastructure to surveil Blacks and minorities in real time, making sure they surrender to forced immunizations:

It will also be critical to monitor in real time who has gotten the vaccine and what the key facilitators and barriers to vaccination have been within communities, so local public health departments can adapt their approaches accordingly.

The document even talks about Blacking-up the vaccine propaganda language in order to appeal to Blacks and so-called anti-vaxxers:

Given the diverse nature of social identities in the United States, vaccination communications will need to be tailored to specific audiences that are key to an equitable and effective COVID-19 response (eg, essential workers, parents, groups with high comorbidity rates, communities of color, vaccine-hesitant persons).

In order to brainwash Blacks and minorities into accepting dangerous, experimental covid-19 vaccines, document authors say that influential celebrities (such as Hollywood stars and music stars) should be recruited to deliver messages so that uninformed people can be influenced:

Engage a broad network of trusted spokespersons who can deliver and reinforce a unified message about COVID-19 vaccination…  To motivate people to take protective actions like vaccination requires that they hear a salient and specific message repeatedly, delivered by multiple trusted messengers and via diverse media channels.

The report even admits that Blacks and minorities have been lied to and abused by the government before, especially involving public health issues: “…minority groups have often experienced a history of government abuse that may make it harder build trust.”

Finally, the document proposes that scientific testing on “vaccination messages” should be openly published by the NIH, CDC and NLM (National Library of Medicine) so that all the authorities have access to all the social engineering experiments that attempt to brainwash Blacks with pro-vaccine propaganda.

Mandatory vaccine sites: Grocery stores, pharmacies, schools, workplaces, senior citizen centers and churches will all be used to force vaccines on everyone

The document not only recommends that food assistance and rent assistance be withheld from those who refuse mandatory coronavirus vaccines, it also says that “home visits” should be used to inject people on a door-to-door basis. In addition, workplaces, pharmacies, churches and schools are named as candidates for forced immunizations, and the document recommends that pharmacists be allowed to “administer a vaccine directly without a standing order.”

The document specifically states that vaccine efforts should include “nontraditional sites” such as “places of worship” or senior centers, and that covid-19 vaccines should be “bundled” with other essential social services such as food stamps (see below).

From the document: (emphasis added)

COVID-19 vaccination may require ramping up the use of sites that are already available and accessible to older adults but are used less frequently; widely placed community pharmacies, for example, are an underutilized site for routine vaccine promotion and administration,111 but they were used successfully for expanding access to pandemic vaccine in 2009 and 2010.112 Most adults in the United States live closer to a pharmacy than to a clinic, and pharmacy vaccination programs can be especially effective for harder-to-reach populations. Pharmacy immunization efforts work best when pharmacists are given adequate training in administering a new vaccine and when state-level policies allow pharmacists the ability to administer a vaccine directly without a standing order. Other nontraditional vaccination settings include grocery stores, senior citizen centers, health departments, mass vaccination clinics, and local corporations; these have been assessed as safe and acceptable sites for pneumococcal and influenza vaccines.113-115 After doctors’ offices, the next most common settings for influenza vaccination are pharmacies, stores (eg, supermarkets), and workplaces.116 To allow adults to be vaccinated directly in their workplaces seems prudent, especially for essential workers likely to be in the first tier for vaccination. Schools, which are trusted institutions present in every community and available on weekends and at night, are an additional candidate location; they were used during mass polio vaccination campaigns.117 In some cases, it also may be acceptable and feasible to deliver vaccination via home visits by community health nurses when vaccination is bundled with delivery of other preventive health services; this approach has received a strong recommendation in the past from the Community Preventive Services Task Force.118 Ensuring that all COVID-19 vaccination sites maintain safe physical distancing practices may require additional planning.

The report also urges vaccine pushers to plan for the “logistics” of using grocery stores as “frontline” sites in a “vaccine rollout.” Here’s the text from the report:

Federal, state, and local health officers and their strategic partners should actively involve experts on preparedness and planning in vaccine rollout preparations as early as possible, given that novel or nontraditional sites for vaccination may become the frontlines of a successful vaccination program. These experts can help coordinate efforts at heterogeneous sites and adapt strategies that suit each site accordingly. For example, the vaccination logistics and rollout at a grocery store site will require different planning and preparation than vaccine rollout in traditional physicians’ offices.

Get ready for the rolling out of an Orwellian medical police state run by fascist vaccine pushers and Big Tech censors

The bottom line in all this? If Biden is elected President and his covid-19 taskforce becomes a reality, America will be transformed into a vaccine-pushing medical police state where you can’t even go to the grocery store or go to church without being harassed by crazed vaccine zealots.

All independent journalism that questions the safety or efficacy of vaccines will be completely banned, and the CDC — using taxpayer money — will roll out an endless stream of pro-vaccine propaganda by hiring famous actors and recording artists to brainwash the masses into getting vaccinated.

This is what happens when you vote for tyrants: You get tyranny.

So roll up your sleeve, Biden supporters, and prepare to be forcibly injected with an experimental, potentially deadly vaccine cocktail that will make the Tuskegee experiments look like a cakewalk.

Blacks and minorities are about to be targeted with the ultimate depopulation weapon: An engineered euthanasia shot called a “vaccine,” that’s so deadly and dangerous, every propaganda trick imaginable has to be used to convince people to take it… even when it’s free.

And if you say no, you won’t be able to buy groceries, go to church, attend a concert, travel by air or even open a bank account. If you continue to resist, don’t worry: They’ll send “isolation teams” to your home to kidnap you and throw you in a CDC concentration camp, where you’ll be “recycled” into biosludge that’s deposited onto the food crops.

It sounds a lot like the Green New Deal, doesn’t it? Except it’s actually the Green New KILL.

Welcome to Covid-1984.

H.R. 8424: Supreme Court Term Limits & Regular Appointments Act Taking Aim at SCOTUS

Judges Court Gavel Law Legal

BY JOHN PETROLINO

SEE: https://www.ammoland.com/2020/11/hr-8424-supreme-court-term-limits-regular-appointments-act/;

New Jersey – -(AmmoLand.com)- As the crack of freedom rings out across the nation in the wake of our election for President of the United States, all kinds of bills are popping up for the next legislative session.

It's clear that the people have spoken and Joe Biden is our president-elect!!… I jest, as we are wading into some of the muddiest waters in election history of most everyone’s lifetimes.

The crack of freedom is not only undermined by the continual speculation on what the actual results are but that this is or was, in fact, a very close race. What may come from Trump’s challenges to the election results remains to be seen.  However, we need to be posed and positioned for an anti-freedom Biden Presidency.

The country is fairly split, and anti-freedom lawmakers should not be clicking their heels saying “the people have spoken” and thus introduce laws that would limit any rights of the people, specifically the 2nd Amendment.

More and more people are embracing firearm ownership and many of them may have voted for Biden.

It seems across the nation that lawmakers are emboldened by a Biden win, and all kinds of new legislation have been introduced.  With these bills being proposed on the state and national level, of course, freedom limiting measures are being brought up.  Beyond the legislative, there are murmurs that Biden’s team has already met with the head of the ATF with plans to do what?  Speculation says the banning of arm-braces, a concern that was uncovered in a recent NJ state OPRA request shows the anti-gun group Moms Demand Action in correspondence with New Jersey policymakers (see OPRA W160618 Moms Demand Action Phil Murphy New Jersey 6-25-2020).  Further, the regulation of 80% lowers, to make “ghost guns” unavailable might be on the menu.  Rumors are flying.

What a Biden presidency would mean to the 2nd Amendment and what gets done executively remains to be seen, but we should take his word at it that he’s no friend to lawful gun ownership.  The ATF has been running out of their lane as it is, and what other damage they’re going to do is up in the air.  This is further compounded by legislation introduced to increase the scope of the ATF’s abilities to regulate.

Would a Biden presidency mean the United States entering back into the UN Small Arms Treaty (a scary proposition)?

One thing that continues to be clear, is the progressive agenda and its assaults on the system when America does not go their way.  The progressive agenda does not try to work within the rules like Trump does with his vote count challenge that is within the rules. No, instead, they try to change them to favor one agenda.

Enter H.R. 8424: Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2020

Scene in HR 8424, the Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2020, introduced September 29, 2020.  Interestingly enough, this bill did not pop up in the wake of this year’s election, as many have, but only a scant 11 days after the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Not only is the introduction of this legislation telling because it’s a clear way to try and change the goal post concerning Supreme Court Justices, but it also highlights how disgusting and distasteful some could be by bringing such a bill up not even a full fortnight after RBG’s passing.

The bill proposes that Supreme Court Justices only serve 18-year terms and that every two years the president will get a chance to appoint two new justices.  The current court would be exempt from these provisions, so this is clearly a long game that is being played.  On a personal level, I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of justices having term limits, sure, this could be a good thing, potentially a bad thing.

I think before turning their sights on the courts, congress should be discussing instituting term limits for themselves, prior to projecting on another branch of the government.  A little housekeeping perhaps?

The troubling part of the proposed bill is not so much the 18-year terms, and again, arguments can be made either way on that.  But rather, the more troubling thing is the bill is a direct retaliation and response to the Garland appointment that did not see the light of day, and how Trump was able to fill that seat.  The stonewalling of Garland can be talked about for years to come, and the more progressive-leaning individuals, as they lick their wounds on that loss, had a new nightmare come to fruition, the death of RBG right before the election.

In all rights, RBG should have retired under Obama’s watch if she was particularly worried about securing her seat with a justice that would support policies similar to her own (legislating from the bench).  She rolled the dice and lost. Regardless, the Senate followed the rules, as they did during the Garland appointment, it's just the rules that did not suit progressives.

The dangerous provision of HR 8424 is this:

If the Senate does not exercise its advice and consent authority with respect to a President’s nominee to the Supreme Court within 120 days after the nomination, the Senate shall be deemed to have waived its advice and consent authority with respect to such nominee, and the nominee shall be seated as a Justice of the Supreme Court.

This is clearly an agenda to move the goal post on the selection of Supreme Court Justices when there is an upcoming election.  Let’s change the rules to suit our needs so this never happens again.  When the shoe is on the other foot, conservatives do what they usually do, pick themselves up by their bootstraps, and carry on.

In a United States that did not have judges and justices trying to legislate from the bench, maybe this would not be a bad thing?  I don’t know.  But what I do know is that justices and judges are legislating from the bench all the time, not looking into the history, text, and tradition of the Constitution, rather leaning on “feelings.”  We cannot continue to have a country that has the executive branch or judicial branch create laws.  We must maintain a system to protect what little is left of this ideal.  That means constitutionalists in the courts.  Strong and originalist judges and justices, at this juncture, are the only stop-gap the US has to safeguard against executive overreach and malfeasance of the law in lower courts.

I don’t think HR 8424 will make it anywhere, as most bills don’t.  However, we’d be remiss to not at least point out what is in the playbook.  About those term limits that Donald Trump wants/ed in a second term?

Maybe we should be writing our legislators to impose limits on how long members of Congress can stay in office.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE Alito: ‘You Can’t Say That Marriage Is a Union Between One Man and One Woman’ in America Today

Justice Alito Discusses: Abortion, Speech, Assembly, Religion, Guns, Supreme Court

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made compelling remarks on variety of important topics, including recent threats against the Supreme Court by politicians. This video condenses the content, but the full speech can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/tYLZL4GZVbA?t=940

In a Federalist Society speech on Thursday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito raised the alarm about threats to religious freedom, free speech, and the rule of law — threats exacerbated in the “constitutional stress-test” of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. These threats are by no means limited to lockdown restrictions and COVID-19 issues, but the virus has highlighted them.

“The pandemic has resulted in previously unimaginable restrictions on individual liberty,” Alito said. “I am not diminishing the severity of the virus’s threat to public health, and putting aside what I will say shortly about a few Supreme Court cases, I’m not saying anything about the legality of COVID restrictions. All that I’m saying is this… we have never before seen restrictions as severe, extensive, and prolonged as those experienced for most of 2020.”

Alito mentioned many “live events that would otherwise be protected by the right to freedom of speech” that state and local governments have prohibited, including the fact that churches were closed on Easter Sunday by government fiat.

“The COVID crisis has served as a sort of constitutional stress-test. And in doing so it has highlighted disturbing trends that were already present before the virus struck,” the justice argued.

Alito first highlighted “the dominance of lawmaking by executive fiat rather than legislation.” He rightly traced this idea back to “the vision of early twentieth-century progressives and the New Dealers of the 1930s … that policy-making would shift from narrow-minded elected legislators to an elite group of elected experts, in a word, that policymaking would become more scientific.”

For instance, a Nevada law gives the state’s governor extraordinary powers. If the governor finds that there is “a natural, technological, or manmade emergency or disaster of major proportions, the governor can perform and exercise such functions, powers, and duties as are necessary to promote and secure the safety and protection of the civilian population.”

Yet the Supreme Court has a duty to step in “whenever fundamental rights are restricted.”

Along those lines, Alito warned that religious freedom has grown increasingly out of favor.

Barr: COVID Lockdowns Are ‘Greatest Intrusion on Civil Liberties in American History’ Besides Slavery

“It pains me to say this but in certain quarters, religious liberty is fast becoming a disfavored right,” he lamented. He briefly mentioned the Supreme Court case Employment Division v. Smith and Congress’s passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993. The House of Representatives unanimously passed the bill, while the Senate passed it, 97-3. President Bill Clinton signed it into law.

“Today, that widespread support has vanished. When states have considered or gone ahead and adopted their own versions of RFRA, they have been threatened with punishing economic boycotts,” Alito said.

He also briefly covered recent Supreme Court cases illustrating the threat to religious freedom.

Alito mentioned the Little Sisters of the Poor, “women who have dedicated their lives to caring for the elderly poor, regardless of religion.” Some of their beneficiaries have testified that the Little Sisters “will keep you alive for ten years longer.”

“Despite this inspiring work, the Little Sisters have been under unrelenting attack for the better part of a decade. Why? Because they refuse to allow their health insurance plan to provide contraceptives to their employees. For that, they were targeted by the prior administration,” the justice noted.

The Obama administration threatened the Little Sisters with hefty fines “if they did not knuckle under and violate a tenet of their faith.” While the group of nuns won a Supreme Court case last spring, the case went back to the Court of Appeals. President Donald Trump created a religious freedom exemption in the contraception mandate, but Joe Biden has pledged to drop that exemption.

In another case, the State of Washington required pharmacies to carry all contraceptives, including the morning-after pill. The Christian pharmacy Ralph’s refused to carry that abortifacient pill, but it gladly referred women to nearby pharmacies that did carry it. The state decided that this work-around was not enough.

Alito also mentioned Jack Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop who notoriously refused to bake a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding. He cited a member of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission who said that freedom of religion had been used “to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the Holocaust, we can list hundreds of situations where freedom of religion has been used to justify discrimination.”

“For many today, religious liberty is not a cherished freedom. It’s often just an excuse for bigotry, and it cannot be tolerated,” Alito warned.

He mentioned that not a single employee of the Little Sisters has asked for contraception, no woman lacks contraception because of Ralph’s, and no same-sex couple has failed to get a cake because of Jack Phillips.

“A great many Americans disagree, sometimes quite strongly, with the religious beliefs of the Little Sisters, the owners of Ralph’s, and Jack Phillips. They have a perfect right to do so. That is not the question. The question we face is whether our society will be inclusive enough to tolerate people with unpopular religious beliefs,” the justice noted.

Alito cited Harvard Law professor Mark Tushnet, who notoriously wrote, “The culture wars are over. They lost, we won.” Terrifyingly, the professor compared social conservatives to the defeated Axis powers in World War II.

“My own judgment is that taking a hard line (‘You lost, live with it’) is better than trying to accommodate the losers, who – remember – defended, and are defending, positions that liberals regard as having no normative pull at all,” he argued. “Trying to be nice to the losers didn’t work well after the Civil War, nor after Brown. (And taking a hard line seemed to work reasonably well in Germany and Japan after 1945.)”

This hostility to traditional religion has bled into COVID-19 restrictions.

Alito referenced a Supreme Court decision on Nevada’s restrictions upholding the state’s double standard on casinos and houses of worship. The governor opened casinos — some of which are truly humongous — at 50 percent capacity while restricting religious services to 50 people or fewer. “If you want to worship and you’re the 51st person in line, sorry, you are out of luck. The size of the building doesn’t matter, nor does it matter if you wear a mask or stay 6 feet apart.”

“The state’s message is this: forget about worship and head for the slot machines or maybe a Cirque du Soleil show,” Alito said.

“Take a quick look at the Constitution. You will see the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment which protects religious liberty. You will not find a craps clause, or a blackjack clause, or a slot machine clause,” the justice quipped. “Nevada was unable to provide any plausible justification for treating casinos more favorably than houses of worship, but the Court nevertheless deferred to the governor’s judgment, which just so happened to favor the state’s biggest industry and the many voters it employs.”

Biden Staffer: Traditional Religious Beliefs Should Be ‘Taboo’ and ‘Disqualifiers’ for Public Office

The justice contrasted this “blatant discrimination” against religious freedom with a Maryland district judge’s decision to strike down an FDA rule providing that women who want medication abortions must go to a clinic in person to access them. The judge struck down this rule in the name of protecting women from COVID-19, even though Gov. Larry Hogan (R-Md.) had allowed people to go to gyms, casinos, and hair and nail salons in a limited reopening at the time.

Alito also warned that “support for freedom of speech is also in danger and COVID rules have restricted speech in unprecedented ways.”

While coronavirus lockdowns have shut down attendance at speeches, conferences, lectures, rallies, and more, “even before the pandemic, there was growing hostility to the expression of unfavorable views.”

Alito quipped that there are “seventy times seven” things that Americans cannot say if they are students or professors at a college or university, or employees speaking for a corporation.

“You can’t say that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. Until very recently, that’s what the vast majority of Americans thought. Now, it’s considered bigotry,” he warned.

“That this would happen after our decision in Obergefell [the 2015 case striking down state laws on marriage] should not have come as a surprise. Yes, the opinion of the Court included words meant to calm the fears of those who cling to traditional views on marriage. But I could see, and so did the other justices in dissent, where the decision would lead,” Alito warned.

He quoted his own dissent in the case, “I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes. But if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and being treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.”

“That is just what is coming to pass,” the justice lamented. Indeed, in one recent case, the Kroger Company fired two women in Little Rock, Ark., who refused to wear a rainbow-colored heart emblem on an apron because they did not want to endorse LGBT activism.

Religious freedom and free speech are indeed under assault in America today, and even if the coronavirus pandemic fades away tomorrow, these threats to fundamental rights will persist.

American Center for Law and Justice: Election Challenges Head to Court, Live Updates From Washington, DC

Power lawyer Lin Wood “100% confident Trump will be President”

As election challenges head to court, we’ve got updates from Washington, D.C.

On today’s Jay Sekulow Live, we discussed the election legal challenges heading to court. Several lawsuits have already been filed and there will be additional lawsuits filed over the next several days.

There are filings out of Michigan, and several in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. There’s more to come. This is just to beginning. I would encourage you to avoid feeling like you are on pins and needles every moment. This is a process and there is still plenty of time to go.

My dad, Jay Sekulow, is in Washington, D.C. and he gave us an update of what’s going on:

I understand the anxiety and the frustration but these are not going to be decisions that come down in the next two or three days that are going to end this one way or another or overturn this. What you have right now, first of all, the electors have not met. The Electoral College has not met so all of these controversies that you are seeing are what we call live controversies.

Now on Friday, in my outside private capacity as the President’s attorney, we went to the Supreme Court and asked the Court to issue a directive, an order, saying you’ve got to segregate these ballots in Pennsylvania. That’s a have-to. Number two, and equally important, you have to make sure that those votes, although counted, these ballots that came in late are not added to the general totals. So far, I will say, the order has stayed in place. Justice Alito issued it. Now it has been referred to the entire Court. So the question will be what the entire Court does with this in the days ahead. This was a very important, very significant first step in the legal process. It’s not the end of the legal process. It’s the very beginning of the Supreme Court side of this.

ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Ekonomou added the following:

The reason it went to Justice Alito, for those of you who don’t know, he’s the Circuit Justice that handles matters that come out of the 3rd Circuit. Pennsylvania is in the 3rd Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals. So requests for emergency action, for administrative stays go to the circuit justice and therefore it went to Justice Alito. Justice Alito ordered the segregation of the ballots. That was an important first step, a critical first step, because it sets the ground work for the future litigation.

That’s the step that if you don’t get it, then you’re case is in real trouble. As always, we’ll keep you updated on the latest developments in this legal phase of the presidential election.

The American Center for Law and Justice continues to do our vital work, which is more important than ever before. We need your support in this critical time. This month is an extremely important month for the ACLJ. Our Matching Challenge month is here and we need your support to keep doing the important work of the ACLJ. The Matching Challenge means your generous donation is doubled. $5 becomes $10. $10 becomes $20. We cannot keep the fight up without your support. Please support the work of the ACLJ and donate today.

The full broadcast is complete with much more discussion by our team of the latest updates in the ongoing legal phase of the presidential election, Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez’s political enemies list, and much more.

Trump Steps Up Fox Attacks, Touts Newsmax; Pelosi Losing Speaker Support; Polls Suppressed GOP Vote

Bloomberg: Trump at War With Fox, Touts Newsmax

Fox News faces an array of challenges after President Donald Trump leaves office: a potential ratings decline, Trump’s tweets attacking the network, and the threat that he could start a rival media outlet.

Yet Fox News has faced many obstacles during its 18 years as the No. 1 cable news network, and has managed to maintain its lead. It has weathered a sexual-harassment scandal, the death of founder Roger Ailes, the departure of stars Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly, and the arrival of right-leaning rivals, Newsmax and One America News Network.

Few observers expect Trump’s barrage of attacks to knock Fox News off its throne anytime soon.

“They have the distribution, talent and resources to be successful no matter who is president,” said Christopher Balfe, chief executive officer of Red Seat Ventures, which helps build businesses for media personalities like former HLN star Nancy Grace.

Still, Fox News’s resilience could be put to the test like never before. Axios reported Thursday, citing unidentified sources, that Trump is planning a subscription-based streaming platform similar to Fox Nation, a $6-a-month service launched two years ago.

Meanwhile, Trump is stepping up his attacks against the network after an election loss that he has steadfastly rejected. Fox News, like nearly all major media, has declared Joe Biden the presidential winner.

On Thursday, Trump tweeted that Fox’s daytime ratings have “completely collapsed” because the network “forgot what made them successful, what got them there.” Fox News was the biggest difference between the 2016 and 2020 elections because the network forgot its “Golden Goose,” he said.

Trump also amplified a series of Twitter posts from users criticizing Fox News as insufficiently loyal to the president and urging conservatives to switch to competitors such as Newsmax.

Shares of Fox News’s parent company (FOX) declined more than 6% Thursday amid the attacks and speculation that Trump might back or launch a rival news service.

Newsmax, which was founded by Trump ally Christopher Ruddy, has seen an uptick in viewers in recent days. It still hasn’t declared Biden the president-elect and has used that decision to curry favor with Trump supporters who are skeptical of the results and angry that Fox News made an early call for the Democrat in the key state of Arizona.

On Thursday, Ruddy tweeted that Trump called him and “congratulated Newsmax on our ratings explosion.” Trump is “watching Newsmax,” he said, “and also wants every vote counted!”

Negotiating Tool

Trump’s relationship with America’s most-watched news channel has waxed and waned over the years. He was a frequent Fox News guest long before he decided to run for president, and the network’s evening commentators have been ardent supporters of him throughout his time in office. With the ties fraying, Fox would be wise to patch things up quickly, said Jon Klein, a former president of CNN’s U.S. operations and current co-chairman of the streaming company Tapp Media LLC.

“Many Fox News viewers adore President Trump,” Klein said. “If Trump undertook a concerted ongoing anti-Fox News campaign, that would have a real impact on Fox’s numbers because those Trump loyalists will do as they’re told.”

Still, the real estate mogul behind a book called “The Art of the Deal” could be using his attacks against Fox as a bargaining tool, Klein said.

“Everything for him is about the negotiation,” Klein said. “Once the dust settles, I’m sure he will make the best deal he can, whether it’s starting his own company or getting paid a lot of money to appear on someone’s else air.”

Trump has continued to praise Fox News’s prime-time hosts, which he sees as more sympathetic to his cause. On Thursday night, he recommended a segment by commentator Sean Hannity about voting machines.

Fox management remains upbeat that it can weather the latest turmoil. On an earnings call last week, CEO Lachlan Murdoch pointed out that the network has led the cable news industry through a number of administrations.

“We love competition,” Murdoch said. “We have always thrived with competition, and we have strong competition now.”

In response to Trump’s tweets on Thursday, Fox News said its daytime audience is up 62% -- averaging 2.7 million viewers for the seven days through Wednesday -- from the same period last year, citing Nielsen data. The network also was the most-watched on election night, with an audience of 14.1 million.

Other Options

If Trump wants to start his own media company, he could follow the path of former Fox News star Glenn Beck, relying on his large base of grassroots supporters to pay him monthly subscriptions.

But while Beck was able to attract tens of thousands of subscribers to TheBlaze, former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin shut down her online TV channel only a year after its launch.

Trump could create a meaningful media business with his own streaming service -- which would be less of a major threat to Fox.

“I think a lot of people would sign up for a $5 or $6 a month subscription service to watch his show and support him,” Balfe said. “I don’t think it’s a Fox News channel competitor, but it could be a very successful streaming channel.”
