“In auditing you look for red flags. That’s weird bits in the data that suggest something shifty is going on. You flag those weird things so you can delve into them further. One flag doesn’t necessarily mean there’s fraud. Weird things happen. A few flags mean stupidity or dishonesty. But a giant pile of red flags means that there’s bad shit going on and people should be in jail. …

ARIZONA: President Donald Trump gained a net of 9,288, or 56 percent of the votes, upon the submission of a new batch of results from Maricopa County and Pinal County. There are still tens of thousands of mail-in ballots left to process, primarily in Maricopa County. The remaining ballots in the county are ones that require additional time, such as military and overseas ballots.
The current margin is 0.61 percent, with Biden ahead. If it narrows to within 0.1 percent or less, an automatic recount will be triggered.
ALSO, Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a lawsuit stating that some in-person votes were disregarded because of what appears to have been poorly trained poll workers.
COUP: “Keep in mind that we have endured over the past 4 years a seeming century’s worth of dishonesty, hoaxes, threats, wild conspiracy theories and widespread corruption from those on the left. Indeed, Liberals appear to have made sport of treating Donald Trump and his supporters much like a cat treats a litter-box. And we got the message: There is no limit to just how low they are willing to sink.” – Marc Sheppard
DOJ: Thirty-nine Republican congressmen have written a letter to AG Barr asking him to investigate claims of voter fraud and make sure only legal votes are counted in this election.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Saturday that he will be calling on the Department of Justice and the postmaster general to investigate a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower’s claim about an alleged plot to backdate mail ballots in Pennsylvania.
Graham received a sworn affidavit signed under the penalty of perjury from Richard Hopkins, a mail carrier in Erie, Pennsylvania, who claims that the local postmaster, Rob Weisenbach, had instructed U.S. Postal Service workers to collect mail ballots they receive after Nov. 3 and hand them over to him to be backdated.
FOX: The ONE channel we had has SOLD OUT. I guess China owns them now, too.
Nick Nolte writes that Fox has lost its base. “The backlash had been brewing for a while but really took off after Chris Wallace’s dreadful and dreadfully biased and dishonest role as moderator in the first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.
“The backlash then went nuclear after Fox News maliciously and erroneously called Arizona for Joe Biden on Tuesday night — a state that is still too close to call.”
They also canceled Judge Jeanine! Who’s next? Greg Gutfeld? Tucker Carlson?
GEORGIA: Biden currently has a 4,000-vote edge, but roughly 8,000 military ballots have yet to be counted. The military votes predominantly Republican and Georgia has voted Red for every president since 1992.
LATINO VOTE: Early exit polls showed Trump improved his 2016 performance among this demographic in key states by 11 points, which may have anchored his victory in Florida and contributed to a convincing win in Texas.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Dan Bongino said the Left would push this “Biden has won” narrative to put pressure on the courts to decide in Slow Joe’s favor.
They may have the power to manipulate public opinion, but WE have the power of PRAYER and the authority of JESUS. We just have to use them!
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, have mercy on the U.S.
MICHIGAN: Two observers who were at a Detroit absentee ballot site have produced affidavits claiming they witnessed workers create thousands of new voter files with information obtained from ballots. These names were not in the Poll Books or Supplemental Sheets, meaning they were not registered voters … until workers helpfully invented them. Funny thing, they were all born on Jan 1, 1900.
A Michigan Republican county official has won re-election in a race that he conceded earlier this week, thinking he lost by about 100 votes — but a fixed computer glitch has since put him back in the lead. That glitch also caused 6,000 Trump votes to switch to Biden. (Funny how the “glitch” only made Republican votes turn Democrat …) They caught and fixed the problem in Antrim County (which is Red), but 47 other Michigan counties used the same software, along with 29 other states.
The Michigan Republican Party is expanding its investigation into Dominion Voting Systems, the software that switched Antrim County Republican votes to Democrat last week. Dominion Voting Systems has ties to prominent Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi’s longtime Chief of Staff is a key executive and Richard Bloom, Senator Feinstein’s husband, is a significant shareholder of this company.
NEVADA: Biden is up by nearly 23,000 votes. But tens of thousands of southern Californians have condos in Nevada to evade state taxes. Democrats sought them out and got them to vote twice for Biden.
Within 72 hours of the election, the Trump team had already found more 3,500 fraudulent votes. I doubt they have stopped looking.
I’d love to see these people convicted, with lots of press about it. If there were serious consequences for vote fraud, people would at least PAUSE before doing it!
PENNSYLVANIA: The ballots received after 8 pm have miraculously put Biden up by about 29,000. BUT if SCOTUS rules to remove the after 8:00 P.M. Ballots, then Biden loses Pennsylvania. Four Supreme justices have already said the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cannot adjust voting rules to allow after 8:00 pm ballots to be counted. And the newest arrival says she is there to apply the rules in the Constitution, which gives the power to make voting rules only to state legislatures.
ALSO, President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign plans to file a lawsuit today challenging all of the mail-in ballots that were counted without Republican poll watchers onsite. Even after the court instructed ballot observers be within six feet of the counting, the closest observers were only allowed 50 feet from the counting and most of the counters were even further away. Trump mentioned observers using binoculars to try and see what was going on.
UNBELIEVABLE: Trump won Michigan by just 10,704 votes in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, but Biden is allegedly ahead by 146,123 votes.
A statistical analysis of Milwaukee’s results found that in many city wards, votes counted after 3 a.m. on Nov. 4 went to Biden by a much larger margin than those counted before. Sometimes, the difference was as high as 40 percentage points.
In Pennsylvania, nearly 10,000 votes were removed from President Donald Trump’s count at around 9 p.m. on Nov. 4. Then, around 9 a.m. on Nov. 6, more than 27,000 votes were added to the count, nearly all of them to Biden.
WISCONSIN: [1:33] – Trump’s campaign took steps to seek a recount based on the reports of irregularities, Biden is supposed up by about 20,000 votes, but this total may substantially change following investigations into at least two problems.
One, there were way more votes cast than there are registered voters. Two, Wisconsin election clerks followed their instructions to illegally modify mail-in ballots where witnesses left out critical information.
I just read about a vision that a fellow Catholic had in 2015. He woke one night to find an enormous angel praying in his bedroom. He was wounded and tired. He looked at the fellow and said that he was the angel assigned to protect the United States, but that he and his forces were losing the battle for our nation to Satan and his forces. He asked the fellow to tell everyone to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy daily for the salvation of the nation.
This chaplet* is recited using ordinary rosary beads. Begin as usual with the Sign of the Cross.
On the crucifix, recite the Apostles’ Creed.
On the first big bead, recite the Lord’s Prayer.
On the three small beads, recite a Hail Mary each for Faith, Hope, and Charity.
On the big beads at the start of each decade, say “Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.”
On the 10 small beads of each decade, say “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
When I say “us,” I like to think “U.S.”
At the end, say three times, “Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.”
End with the Sign of the Cross.
*There’s a more complicated way to do it, with long, optional prayers, which you can find on-line. I prefer to follow the basic pattern for the rosary, so I can focus on the prayers and not be fumbling with a pamphlet.
2020: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
2020: [8:36] – Lou Dobbs talks with Tom Fitton (Judicial Watch) and Sidney Powell (Mike Flynn’s lawyer) about how the FBI reportedly investigating the use of NSA software to ensure the election for Joe Biden.
The Left is declaring Joe Biden the next president based on states that have not yet been decided. IGNORE THEM!
President Donald Trump says he will not stop fighting to reach a fair and transparent conclusion for the presidential election because he wants to ensure the election system is free of fraud.
“We believe the American people deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification, and that this is no longer about any single election. This is about the integrity of our entire election process. From the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted, yet we have met resistance to this basic principle by Democrats at every turn. We will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee that the American people have confidence in our government. I will never give up fighting for you and our nation.” – President Trump
The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced on Friday they have set up legal teams in the four battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, amid alleged “clear irregularities” in the vote counts for the general election.
BLUE STATES: Democrat-run states had the most severe lockdowns, yet suffered the most coronavirus deaths per capita. Unsurprisingly, they also had the highest increases in unemployment and continue to lead the nation in unemployment.
GEORGIA: This race is so close, there will have to be a recount. Georgia holds 16 electoral college votes. A candidate can request a recount in Georgia if the margin is less than 0.5%. Right now, it is well within that at 0.1%.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: In 2017, when President Trump said that purveyors of fake news are enemies of the state, the shrieking heads in the Left Stream Media yammered for hours about how he was an existential threat to our freedoms.
These same Defenders of Freedom had crickets to say about it when Nancy Pelosi denounced President Trump and his allies “domestic enemies to our voting system and honoring our Constitution.”
NEVADA: Lawyers for the Nevada Republican Party sent a criminal referral to Attorney General William Barr on Thursday, claiming they have received reports of at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud in the battleground state.
“We expect that number to grow substantially,” the party tweeted. “Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV.”
NEW YORK: NYC – Congratulations, Democrats! You have succeeded in making what once was the greatest city in the world into the worst to do business in America.
RAAACISM: Silly me … and here I thought my objections to defunding the police were protecting the public, particularly in low income, high crime neighborhoods. And I foolishly thought my objections to socialism were about how it makes the middle class poor and the poor destitute, all while increasing the so-called wealth gap (which AOC claims to despise so much). But what do I know? I’m just a deplorable enemy of the state.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter has actively censored six of President Donald Trump’s posts over the 24 hours between Thursday mid-morning and Friday. Twitter’s censorship can lower the engagement of a Trump tweet by more than 80 percent, according to one recent analysis of their performance.
Facebook is demoting content that its “systems predict may be misinformation” relating to election fraud. On Thursday, Facebook blacklisted a grassroots group called “Stop the Steal,” deleting the group after it had gained more than 300,000 members.
SPORTSMANSHIP: [1:43] – Democrats could learn a thing or two from this fine athletes. After his opponent’s missed a turn because of an equipment mal-function, Sergio Garrido chose not to shoot again either.
STATE ELECTIONS: The parties that control the state legislatures this year will be the ones redrawing the maps after the census. Going into the election, Republicans controlled 29 state legislatures compared to 19 for the Democrats.
Despite a major push and hundreds of millions of dollars spent by the Left, Democrats don’t appear to have taken control of any chambers. Arizona could still go their way depending on the final count. On the other hand, Republicans managed to pick up the New Hampshire House and Senate.
Seems just a TAD odd that the GOP did so well at the state level, maintained its hold on the U.S. Senate, AND picked up seats in the House of Representatives … but somehow or other elected Joe Biden?!
All of the states with problems are run by Democrats and all of the problems favor their candidates. Golleeee geeeee whiz … who woulda thunk?
MICHIGAN: In Detroit, GOP poll watchers have been denied access to counting stations.
According to Michigan election law, all mail-in and absentee ballots have to be submitted before 8pm on Election Day, but tens of thousands of absentee ballots arrived on Wednesday morning at 3:30 am.
In Antrim County, a conservative stronghold, a software glitch switched about 6,000 votes from GOP to Dem. This mistake was discovered after printed tabulation tapes were manually entered. The same vote tabulating software is used in 47 counties in Michigan!
In a conservative precinct, voter turnout was 35% lower than anywhere else, so somebody went looking and found a mess of uncounted absentee ballots that gained Trump an additional 500 votes.
In the “great” State of Michigan, at least seven 2020 voters were born before 1902. One was a real record setter, having been born in 1850. (The oldest human alive today was born in 1903).
The corrupt Democrat machine in Pennsylvania is brazenly stealing the election from President Trump. Since the morning AFTER the election, they have “discovered” more than 1 million ballots all in favor of Joe Biden! Also, military ballots (most for Trump) were found in the trash.
The Trump campaign has challenged a decision to allow votes received up to three days after the election to be counted. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Alito has ordered any ballots received after 8 PM on Election Day in Pennsylvania be segregated and secured and counted separately until the court can rule. The Constitution gives each state’s legislature the power to set its own election rules, but as I understand it, this late ballots decision was just imposed from on high, not passed by the legislature, which would likely mean SCOTUS will not allow those late ballots to be included.
CLICK https://twitter.com/mikeroman/status/1324858704722792448 [:50] to see a volunteer in a Philly suburb working with absentee ballots in the basement lunchroom of the counting center. She claimed to not know her supervisor’s name or why she was alone in the basement. She didn’t really seem to know what she was doing. Maybe they were those post-8pm segregated ballots? Who knows?
This is exactly why observers from BOTH parties are supposed to be present to watch EVERYTHING.
But these are Pennsylvania Democrats … the same disgusting people who allowed Kermit Gosnell to operate his house of horrors for nearly two decades without a single health and safety inspection (despite repeated complaints).
And they are the same people who, after Gosnell was exposed, passed a new law beefing up health and safety inspections of abortion clinics … which they are now ignoring just like they’re ignoring the court’s order to allow GOP observers to actually watch the ballot counting.
I think Satan is warming up a special Pennsylvania District in Hell for them.
2020: We aren’t done. This is not a political or legal fight. It’s a SPIRITUAL one. We only get one vote each, but we can say as many prayers as we want! And we have JESUS on our side, so hit your knees, Patriots!
CLICK https://www.facebook.com/aklavan/videos/1102880920232694 [16:44] to hear Trump’s presser about the results so far. His main theme = “It doesn’t matter who wins, as long as it is the people who decided it, not cheaters stealing it.” Reporters = “Are you being a sore loser?”
Lord Jesus, This is YOUR nation. Save us from Satan’s force on the Left who lie, cheat, steal, destroy, and even kill to get power away from Americans who love You. Amen.
ABORTION: Planned Parenthood has dropped its court challenge of three pro-woman Arizona laws, including a 24-hour waiting period that ensures women are not rushed into an abortion, a requirement that abortions be performed by licensed physicians and another requiring that abortion drugs be provided during an in-person visit rather than through telemedicine. PP didn’t give a reason, but some of its own lawyers admitted that courts have upheld similar pro-life laws in the past, so it’s likely they decided not to waste time and money on a lost cause.
NEVADA: This is one of the states that decided to mail ballots to all registered voters this year. Before the primaries in Clark County, Nevada, which covers the Las Vegas metro area, more than 223,000 mail ballots bounced due to old or wrong addresses.
PILF, a right-leaning election watchdog, also found that some Nevada voters registered at commercial addresses, which the state doesn’t allow. When a PILF investigator visited some of the addresses, he found no sign of the voters actually living there. One address was an empty lot.
And now at least one voter says she went to the ballot, but was not allowed to vote, because she was down as having already voted. But she says she hadn’t.
The Trump campaign is suing, alleging that votes were cast for both the deceased and non-residents in Nevada and that the campaign wasn’t allowed to inspect the ballot verification.
Adam Laxalt, former Nevada Attorney General and co-chairman of Trump’s campaign in Nevada says, “We were told that signatures would save us from all fraud. But to date, we still have not been able to observe these signatures or meaningfully challenge a single mail-in ballot out of hundreds of thousands of casts. We firmly believe that there are many voters in this group of mail-in people that are not proper voters.”
NORTH CAROLINA: Final election results from North Carolina won’t be available for another week because the state has decided that ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted, provided they’re received by election officials by Nov. 12. This decision was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last month.
OREGON: Portland – Rioting has been going on in Portland for six months. During all that time, the state’s Democratic Governor Kate Brown refused to allow the National Guard to come in. The protesters have been arrested again and again, only to walk free because the Progressive District Attorney refuses to prosecute them.
The day after the election, Antifa organized a “March of Terror”, during which they vandalized businesses, smashed windows, and desecrated a Catholic church. The governor called in the National Guard for the first time.
PENNSYLVANIA: After a Pennsylvania court denied Republicans a right to watch ballot counts, the state’s appellate court overturned the ruling. Effective immediately, “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.”
Republicans in Philadelphia say the Democrats are still cheating. Trump campaign associate Pam Bondi told reporters outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Thursday afternoon that the election officials inside have moved the barricade within 6 feet of the counting area, as required by the judge’s order.
Then they moved all the counting machines to the back of the building where they cannot be seen!
“They are still not in compliance,” Bondi said. “It’s unbelievable what they are trying to do to our votes that have been legally cast. They will not let us see anything. Now, we’re going to take further remedy to fix this.”
If they had nothing to hide, then they wouldn’t be doing this!
PENNSYLVANIA: The Supreme Court has ordered Pennsylvania Democrats to respond by Thursday evening in a case challenging the state’s three-day extension for counting mail-in ballots.
The extension was mandated by the state’s Democratic Party and Secretary of State, despite that the state legislature setting the deadline as Election Day.
The lawsuit takes issue with a state Supreme Court ruling that postmarked ballots be presumed to have been mailed before Nov. 3, even if not clearly postmarked to that effect.
PROJECT VERITAS: In an earlier Bits & Bytes, I posted a Project Veritas undercover video showing a woman in San Antonio working as a “ballot chaser.” As I recall, she admitted to committing at least 3 felonies hundreds of times on behalf of a Democrat candidate. (Gee, why is it always Democrats who have to cheat to win?)
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says his election fraud unit is investigating. “What’s shown in the video is shocking and should alarm all Texans who care about election integrity. We are aggressively investigating the serious allegations and potential crimes that Project Veritas’s documentary audio and video recordings shed light on today.”
SHARPIES: A lot of voters were upset by FAKE NEWS regarding the use of Sharpies on ballots. They were provided with the pens at voting centers, but heard later that the bleed through to the reverse side would invalidate their ballots.
I heard this yesterday and was a teensy bit concerned, because I had used my President Trump Sharpie (his signature is on the side in gold) for my Absentee Ballot. But it didn’t make sense to me that the back of the ballot would matter. Since when do scanners look at the BACK of anything?
So I asked Dearest, who works the polls here in New York. He says he’s pretty sure there’s no up or down for these scanners. You can feed your ballot in either way. In that case, marks on the back are concerning. But it also makes sense of the Maricopa County Board of Elections statement that “the offset columns on ballots ensure that any bleed-through will not impact your vote.” IOW, the scanner isn’t going to see bleed through marks, because they won’t line up with the columns they’re programmed to scan.
As for Sharpies being provided at polling places, Maricopa says the pens “are recommended by the manufacturer of the new vote tabulation equipment because they provide the fastest-drying ink.” That makes sense also. Wet ink on a ballot will glop up the scanner, which would be bad.
VOTING: In Mexico, they instituted a voter ID system that is far, far beyond what Democrats tell us is a racist attempt to suppress the vote. They have to go to the election office with proof of citizenship, register, and have their face photographed and thumb printed. Two weeks later, they have to go back to pick up the card in person. After they put this system into place, voter participation increased 15%, because Mexicans finally felt like their votes were being fairly counted.
WISCONSIN: Trump was leading, then suddenly a surprise ballot dump of all Biden votes came in.
It is tempting to succumb to fear and depression over the election mess. But that is SATAN talking!We only get one vote each, but we can PRAY as much as we want. And we have JESUS on our side, so hit your knees, Patriots!
2020: The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia. The new filings join existing Republican legal challenges in Pennsylvania and Nevada.
BIDEN CORRUPTION: The Biden Cancer Initiative (BCI) is one of several non-profits former Vice President Biden created following his tenure in the White House. Despite it’s noble-sounding mandate, financial records show it is little more than a money laundering operation.
Tax forms from 2017 and 2018 show it raised and spent $4.8 million over its two years in operation. Slightly more than $3 million of that amount went to salaries, compensation, and benefits, while $1.7 million went to other expenses and $740,000 went into conferences, conventions, and meetings.
It did not cut a single grant to any other group or foundation … not for cancer research … not to help families devastated by the disease … not even to one of those Make A Wish groups that give dying kids the thing they want most before they go.
Nope. It ALL went into their own pockets or else into providing perks for themselves. Joe Biden’s son Beau DIED of cancer. Somehow that makes it seem even worse than it would otherwise.
NOTE: The All Seeing Algorithms wouldn’t let me post this at Facebook with the URLs to the sources (below). Said it was spam. So maybe it is. Or maybe it is just one more story the Left is squashing.
CALIFORNIA: Bossy Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has been dethroned by a Superior Court judge who reminded him on Monday that he’s not a king, but a servant of the people – people who elected a legislature to make laws. He is been permanently barred from issuing further unconstitutional orders.
COVID-19: Democrats have been vehement about the need for a national mask mandate and claim Trump’s failure to enforce such a thing has led to countless deaths. They claim the SCIENCE backs up their assertions, but they are lying. Multiple studies show that face coverings provide little to no benefit.
For example, a study published in the highly respected New England Journal of Medicine concluded that “Wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
Furthermore, the graphs shown above demonstrate that mask mandates, even in highly compliant populations, are ineffective at controlling the spread of respiratory disease. Similar graphs from U.S. states appear at The Federalist link below.
HIGHER EDUCATION: CLICK https://fb.watch/1xBDU-TGGk/ [9:04] to hear Gina’s story of discovering truth and reclaiming her freedom. This is excellent! “Higher education kind of destroyed me.” Gina Florio graduated Harvard University as an angry atheist taught to hate America. So much so that she abandoned her birth country for Australia. When a freak accident sent her back to the U.S., a video by Candace Owens, then others by Dave Rubin and PragerU, opened her eyes to the lies she had been believing all of those terrible years.
MEDIA MALPRACTICE: Dan Bongino played a wonderful media slime montage on his Nov 3d show. It starts at about 60 minutes. After that, he has a supercut from election night in 2016. ::snork:: He broadcasts on Rumble now, which doesn’t embed here, but it plays well at this link.
NEW YORK: Our gracious master, His Lordship King Cuomo, hath decreed that people who visit New York will have to quarantine for three days and then prove they are negative for COVID-19 before they are “free to go about their business.”
PATRIOTIC EDUCATION: President Trump signed as Executive Order to put the true history of our founding back into school curricula. Of course, if he loses, Biden (or more likely Kamala) will ignore it.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY: On Wednesday, SCOTUS heard oral arguments in the first religious liberty case since ACB’s confirmation. The case involves the city of Philadelphia ending a contract with Catholic Social Services, because the religion-based adoption agency does not place children with same-sex couples. The city claims this is a violation of its anti-discrimination rule. CSS says it’s sincere religious expression and thus protected under the Constitution.
KEEP PRAYING: We cast our votes, but we are NOT DONE. This is not a political or a legal battle. This is a SPIRITUAL battle and we have ALL the authority and ALL the power we need in Jesus Christ through PRAYER. We all need to pull up our socks, get on our knees, and FIGHT for what we know is right.
OVERVIEW
CONGRESS: No big change here – We lost two seats in the Senate, but picked up one and may pick up another, so a net of 52 or 53 GOP seats.
In the House, we outperformed polls predicting Dems would pick up 15 seat. Instead, they lost five seats, including several we had lost in 2018. Sadly, the Democrats still have the majority and thus two more years to be utterly annoying. But there is hope for 2022.
ELECTION INTEGRITY: President Donald Trump said early Wednesday morning he is prepared to contest the election results all the way to the Supreme Court. “We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4:00 a.m. in the morning and add them to the list, okay?” he said.
“As befits the already awful year of Our Lord, 2020, the presidential election is going to come down to a nasty street fight of lawyers, public relations spin, and positioning involving four states. Donald Trump has won all four, and now he must successfully defend all four wins from the very mail-in shenanigans he (and all of us) predicted would happen months ago. This is flesh and blood people versus theoretical pieces of mail. The people must win this.” – C. Edmund Wright
IDENTITY POLITICS: The president the Left continually calls a vile racist, worse than Hitler or Osama bin Laden, has succeeded in finally making the GOP a party of racial diversity.
According to exit polls, Trump improved his national performance among black voters from 8% of the total to 12%, which I find rather disappointing. His approval ratings were much higher.
Among Asian American voters, he increased his share from 27% to 31%.
Among Hispanic voters, he increased his share from 28% to 32%. The most Hispanic county in the U.S. – Starr County, Texas – swung 55 points from D to R. In 2016, they voted Hillary 79% vs Trump 17%. Today, with 98% of the vote counted, Biden has a slim 5 point lead.
PRESIDENTIAL TIE: A tie would send the election to the House of Representatives, but not for a simple vote. Each state would have one vote. Democrats have a majority of seats, but Republicans control 26 states. The only state with a divided delegation is Pennsylvania, consisting of nine Democrats and nine Republicans. The whole thing could boil down to which of those representatives decides to switch sides. If the House cannot make a determination, there’s a procedure, but it’s complicated and unlikely so meh.
PRO-LIFE: The Susan B. Anthony List, a leading pro-life organization, invested $52 million into supporting pro-life candidates and it paid off bigly.
“The surge of victorious pro-life women candidates in the U.S. House is a stunning blow to Nancy Pelosi and her pro-abortion agenda,” Susan B. Anthony List president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, said. “So far, we have more than doubled the number of pro-life women in the House, with more races to be called. Seven pro-life women candidates flipped pro-abortion Democrat-held seats.”
In Texas-21, Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis failed to win back her place on the hill by challenging Rep. Chip (100% Pro-Life Voting Record!). Davis is a radical pro-abort who favors late-term abortions on viable unborn babies and opposes informed consent measures as well as legislation to protect women from shoddy abortion facilities that cannot meet basic health and safety standards.
THE OUTLOOK: If Trump wins, he can continue his gains in foreign policy, go after Big Tech, drain the swamp in the Intelligence Community, and see to it the DOJ pursues the corruption revealed on Hunter’s laptop.
If Biden wins, he will have no popular mandate, no Senate, and no help from the Supreme Court to pass the Prog’s wish list of huge tax increases, big changes in health care, and Green New Deal nightmare. However, he (or more likely Harris) administration would have the freedom to undo some of President Trump’s accomplishments in foreign policy.
“That’s the genius of the American political system. To make big changes you need either a big majority or a small majority for a very long time, and the Democrats have neither.” – David Goldman
ARIZONA: Some of the networks called Arizona for Biden, but have now retracted those statements. There are at least 900,000 votes outstanding that haven’t been counted. About half of these are in Maricopa County, which they say it’s breaking significantly toward Trump 2-1.
This doesn’t mean a Trump win, but it’s enough to make the difference. The Trump campaign believes that Trump will ultimately eke out a victory in Arizona by 30,000 votes. Data Orbital, a data analytics and survey research firm based in Arizona’s capital, agrees.
FLORIDA: Trump not only won his new home state by a lot. In 2016, he won by just over 110,000 votes statewide. This time he has more than 350,000 votes over Biden.
Sadly, Florida Amendment 2 passed with 61% of the vote, meaning the state’s minimum wage will go up to $15 by 2026.
In better news, District 19 elected Byron Donalds to Congress. He is a conservative, pro-life, anti-socialist American who also happens to be Black.
GEORGIA: As of midnight, Trump was up more than 101,000. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) says he wants every legal vote counted by the end of today. Fulton County’s absentee ballot count may be delayed due to a burst water pipe. They say that none of the ballots were harmed, but I’m guessing they have to be dry before they can be scanned.
LOUISIANA: Amendment 1 passed with 65% of the vote. It adds the following language to the Louisiana Constitution: “To protect human life, nothing in this constitution shall be construed to protect a right to abortion or the tax payer funding of abortion.”
The campaign of President Donald trump has filed a lawsuit in the state of Michigan after it says election officials there prevented its officials from observing the vote counting process. The campaign wants to ensure the integrity of the vote tabulation in the key battleground state that is one of several that will determine the outcome of the election.
NEVADA: They sent every registered voter a ballot and have counted all in person early votes, all in person Election Day votes, and all mail ballots through Nov. 2. At the moment, Biden is up by about 7,500 votes. Hillary Clinton won Nevada’s six electoral votes in 2016 by over 27,000 votes. Nevada still has to count mail ballots received on Election Day, provisional ballots, and mail ballots that will be received over the next week.
OREGON: Portland – What an embarrassment this city is … their mayoral choices were the dope they’ve had who managed to keep the rioting going for months when other cities had shut it down in days OR an Antifa Maoist. Sheesh. (They picked the dope.)
Speaking of dopes … Oregonians voted to decriminalize possession of small, “non-commercial” amounts of drugs like heroin, methamphetamines and cocaine.
PENNSYLVANIA: As of early Wednesday, Trump had amassed a lead of more than 600,000 votes in the Keystone State. But there are still a large number of outstanding absentee and vote-by-mail ballots that have yet to be counted. Pennsylvania plans to count all mail-in ballots that arrive by Nov 6, even if there is no clear postmark showing it was mailed on time and even if the signature on the ballot does not match voter roll.
The state’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro (who called the state for Biden BEFORE Election Day!) is currently trailing Republican candidate Heather Heidelbaugh by several points. Shapiro took the Little Sisters of the Poor to court to force them to provide abortion pills in their health care coverage.
WASHINGTON: Nearly 60% of voters in Washington State have approved a “comprehensive sex education” for public schools. The curriculum starts in kindergarten and continues through high school. The Catholic bishops of Washington had opposed the measure, saying it “does not adequately address complex moral issues tied to human sexuality.”
WISCONSIN: With 97 percent of estimated votes reported, Biden is up by more than 20,000, which is well within the threshold for a recount. Trump’s campaign said they will request an immediate recount. His campaign manager said, “There have been reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results.”
BLACK VOTERS: Last week, Rep. Maxine Waters (R-CA) said, “For those black young men who think somehow they can align themselves with Trump, not only are they terrible mistaken, any of them showing their face, I will never, ever forgive them for undermining the possibility to help their own people and their own communities.”
Like Don Lemon, she has given zero thought to actually listening to these people she so despises. “It just hurts me so bad to see blacks talking about supporting Trump. I don’t know why they would be doing it. I don’t know why it is on their minds.”
CNN: On yesterday’s edition of Cuomo PrimeTime, CNN’s Chris Cuomo introduced his guest, New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, with, “Few people are more respected for how they think and how they communicate than our next guest. And he says something pretty scary. That this could be the last week of America as we know it.”
Friedman informed viewers that the GOP was “a giant political brothel that basically rents itself out to the night to whoever will energize its base.” His list of whores that entertained the Johns (aka the average Republican voter) over the years included Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and Trump. “And unfortunately, for the last four years, the red light as always been on.”
Cuomo suggested it was not fair to place all the blame on Trump, because GOP voters suck big time. “We have never seen Republicans swallow the kind of manure that they have with a big smile on their face for the last few years.”
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE: Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf says, “We have no indications that a foreign actor has succeeded in compromising or manipulating any votes in this election.”
GOOGLE: [1:30] – But Google doesn’t discriminate. Just ask them!
PENNSYLVANIA: The Attorney General of the Keystone States informed us all that Biden has already won, but just in case, they’re not going to call the state until after in case the stupid voters pick Trump.
Meanwhile, reports are coming out of Philadelphia of Democrat poll watchers attempting to bar Republican poll watchers from entering. Also Democrats handing out campaign literature to people waiting in line to vote AND campaigning inside polling stations. Both are illegal.
TDS: What is wrong with this woman that she can’t see the difference between joyful Trump supporters driving around, honking their horns, and Muslim terrorists moving troops to a new location to continue destroying churches and cultural treasures, raping women and children, and slaughtering anyone who disagrees with their particular brand of Islam?
VOTER SUPPRESSION: “Democrats were post-Civil War pioneers championing voter suppression. Think of lynching, grandfather clauses, literacy tests, and poll taxes to frustrate likely Republican Party voters. The Democratic Party including President Woodrow Wilson opposed the Woman’s Franchise Amendment to hold its southern base.” – Bruce Fein
GRAMMY NOTES: Our Texas grandson cast his ballot in school (graphic). Dearest is working an 18 hour shift at the polling station in my old elementary school today. And Mama Buzz write, “[Papa Buzz] and I went to early voting. Such a positive energy at the polling station and they announced every time there was a first time voter and we all clapped and cheered! I had been feeling nervous about running into angry crazy people, but prayed God would have us go to a polling station that was safe … prayers answered and then some!”
I joined the FB Walk Away group a few months ago. I just saw yet another in a long line of posts by someone who had never cared enough to vote before this year. I’m glad they’re finally wised up, but maybe that kind of apathy is why things got so bad in this country!
I am so thankful to my family for teaching me that voting is a sacred honor. I was privileged to travel behind the Iron Curtain twice before I turned 18. Ever after our trip to Budapest in 1965, my mother went to Mass on July 4, said it was her new Holy Day of Obligation.
In 1967, my eldest brother was nearly killed by a sniper in Vietnam, so I have long known the blood price paid for my right to vote.
Also, I miss the old voting machines … going into the booth and pushing that heavy handle over to close the curtains with a loud THUNK. Clicking down the levers, then pushing and THUNKing again to register my vote and open the curtains.
The process felt sacramental … shades of my Catholic experiences in the confessional booth.
