2020: CLICK (or not … I only got through 1:17 before my BP got dangerously high) https://www.facebook.com/whitehousebrief/videos/746684032588187 [4:31] to listen to Speaker Lying Liar lie out her lying pie hole about “no evidence” that the election wasn’t PERFECTLY secure and how “poisonous” it is of us 70+ million nasty Nazi Trump voters to actually want to talk about the HUNDREDS of sworn affidavits to the contrary.

FYI: The report she reads from was reported on by Reuters on Nov 12th. AMAZING how, after just one week and zero investigation into the tsunami of voter fraud allegations, some jerks in the swamp were able to tell us definitively that no votes were deleted or lost. How many years and millions of dollars did they spend investigating Russian collusion?

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) has stated that he believes there is evidence of voter fraud and other alleged irregularities.

2019: The official line NOW is, “Voting machines are safe and secure! Believe us! Joe Biden won!”

But after the 2018 mid-term elections, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D), Amy Klobuchar (D) & Ron Wyden (D) expressed serious concerns about the safety and integrity of those same voting machines. E.g., “voters in South Carolina [were] reporting machines that switched their votes after they’d inputted them.”

2008: Prominent Democrats are now demanding that President Donald Trump drop investigations into alleged voter fraud, claiming the campaign’s challenges have been made “without evidence.”

But in 2018, after a tightly contested election for the ninth congressional district of North Carolina, Democrats won an order for a “redo election” because of allegations of voter fraud which have STILL not been proven in court.

2004: The 2004 presidential election in Ukraine bore many similarities to our 2020 election with very high voter turn-out, special voting boxes that allowed citizens to vote from home, and election observers being expelled from vote counting.

The U.S. State Department declared it a corrupt election that “even Stalinist North Korea would envy.”

BACKLASH: The Trump Accountability Project, which proposed blacklisting supporters of President Donald Trump, is “no longer active.”

CALIFORNIA: Scratch a Democrat and find a hypocrite.

COVID-19: The feds have struck a deal with Rite Aid, Walgreens, Albertsons, Publix, Costco and Walmart to make coronavirus vaccinations available free at their pharmacies, the same as flu shots are now.

ALSO, Elon Musk had mild sniffles, cough, and slight fever. He took four rapid antigen tests by BD on the same day. Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse.

DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS: It was used in 28 states for the 2020 election. Before the election, PBS did a deep dive and found numerous troubling problems. The seven minute piece is embedded at the Bright Scoop link below.

The Dominion Voting Systems, which has been used in multiple states where fraud has been alleged in the 2020 U.S. Election, was rejected three times by data communications experts from the Texas Secretary of State and Attorney General’s Office for failing to meet basic security standards.

Dominion Voting Systems is the system that switched 6,000 Trump votes to Biden in Antrim County, Michigan. Ninety-six percent of Dominion employee donations went to Democrats.

FOX: Fox News Channel had a great market niche: half of the country. Emphasis on “had.” Their market shares are down 12%, 6% on Thursday alone. Daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime ratings are even WORSE.

A month ago, Greg Kelly’s show on Newsmax was averaging 100,000 viewers. Now, it’s at 1 million. Kelly should send the CEO at Fox a bouquet of flowers to thank him. He could include this note from Rush Limbaugh on the card. “You don’t turn on the people who got you where you are because you would rather be friends with other people. You just don’t do it.”

LIARS: Wait, wut?

MINNEAPOLIS: Liberal stupidity in action – In June, a city council majority vowed to defund and dismantle the police department and replace it with a new agency focused on a mix of public safety and violence prevention.

Meanwhile, more than 100 officers have left the force – more than double the number in a typical year – including retirements and officers who have filed disability claims, some citing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder linked to the protests over Floyd’s death.

Crime has skyrocketed. Dozens of Minneapolis residents spoke before the city council last month, many complaining of trauma from the constant gunfire and violence and robberies.

On Friday, the city council voted to allocate nearly $500,000 for the police department to temporarily hire officers from neighboring law enforcement agencies to help patrol city streets from Nov. 15 until the end of the year.

NEW YORK CITY: CLICK https://fb.watch/1LngzpK4fL/ [3:44] to hear Tucker Carlson report on how Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio are doing their best to crush NYC businesses … all while allowing leftist gatherings.

NEW YORK STATE: President Donald Trump received a greater share of support in New York state than any Republican has since George H.W. Bush in 1988.

Current results reveal that Trump secured almost 43% of the vote in New York, almost 6.5% more than he received when running against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The decreased margin of Democratic victory in New York is one of the largest numerical differences between the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections in any state.

PENTAGON: Trump’s “near-total decapitation” of civilian leadership within the Department of Defense this week came amid speculation flying that the officials disagreed with plans for a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Jim Jeffrey, the retiring U.S. Special Representative to Syria and the special envoy in the fight against the Islamic State, confirmed Thursday that he and other senior administration officials routinely misled President Donald Trump on troop levels in the Middle East to keep him from following through on his promise to withdraw.

“We were always playing shell games to not make clear to our leadership how many troops we had there,” he stated. “When the situation in northeast Syria had been fairly stable after we defeated ISIS, [Trump] was inclined to pull out. In each case, we then decided to come up with five better arguments for why we needed to stay. And we succeeded both times. That’s the story.”

PROGRESSIVES: [1:06] – Believe them when they say they intend to fundamentally change America.

GRAMMY NOTES: A FB friend posted, “It is impossible for the world to contain anything less interesting to me than FB’s opinions on the election.”

I replied, “Oh I dunno … some of my husband’s excruciatingly detailed descriptions of precisely where something or other is nudges out Facebook for me. At least I can just click Hide or scroll past the latter LOL. Lately, I’ve tried holding up my hand in a stop please motion and reminding him AGAIN (for the eighty millionth time) that I have zero sense of direction and I’m really, honestly, fine with something like ‘near Greek Peak.’ He ignores me and continues droning on anyway. But I gotta love the man. He called me a Ferrari once.”

2020: Not-President-Elect Joe Biden is taking calls with foreign leaders. ::coughMikeFlynncough::

2000: On Election Day, November 7, 2000, the networks called that election’s key swing state of Florida for Gore, then for Bush, then said it was too close to call. Gore conceded, then rescinded his concession. For the next 36 days, there were multiple legal challenges and stops and starts to the recount.

Officials conducted an electronic recount, in which ballots were re-fed into the same machines, but Gore asked for a hand recount. The Florida Supreme Court ordered a recount of undervotes in all of Florida’s 67 counties, which was quickly appealed by Bush, and the case headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The court voted 7-2 that the Florida recount, as it was being conducted, was unconstitutional on the grounds that there were no clear standards that were being applied consistently to all ballots. Then, the court voted 5-4 (along ideological lines) that time had run out to devise a remedy, which stopped the count with Bush ahead. About 80 percent of poll respondents told Gallup that they accepted the results as legitimate.

The whole thing dragged on for five weeks. Trump has only been challenging the outcome for a week and a half.

ABUSE: I saw this graphic on FB with “The Left is akin to an abusive spouse who blames their victim for the terror they dish out. It’s truly repulsive.”

ARIZONA: The race in Arizona is very tight and will likely go to a recount.

President Trump’s campaign filed a lawsuit in Arizona this week demanding a hand count of ballots it says were incorrectly counted.

FOX NEWS: CLICK https://twitter.com/ScottAnthonyUSA/status/1325839471800160256 [:45] to see the clip. They run it twice just so you can fully savor the Leftist witch’s sneering disregard for the Constitution.

Under Roger Ailes, Fox News was reliably conservative. But now the network is run by his Leftie son, Lachlan, who has swampy NeverTrumping Paul Ryan on his Board. Within a week of the election, Fox went from trouncing CNN and MSNBC in the ratings, to trailing them both. Meanwhile, formerly loyal Fox viewers have switched to OAN and NewsMax.

STOP THE STEAL: [10:04] – L. Lin Wood, the lawyer who successfully represented teen Nicholas Sandmann in a defamation suit against The Washington Post and CNN, has joined the president’s efforts to challenge attempts by Democrats and the media to steal the election for Joe Biden.

“This country is under attack. This was nothing more than a revolution. They’re trying to take away your rights. They’re trying to take away your Constitution. They’re trying to take away ultimately your freedom. Don’t let them do it. Donald Trump is for the people that’s why the people voted for him.”

2020: [6:02] – A good update from Epoch Times with particular emphasis on Pennsylvania. This was posted on Nov. 10th, but I don’t think a lot has changed.

ARIZONA: As of Nov. 11, Trump was 12,828 votes behind Biden. BUT there are 14,099 votes from Maricopa County alone cast by people who are unable to establish U.S. Citizenship. Whatchawannabet they were ALL for Biden …

CATS: Catlife.co wrote this about their unique bed design – “With our bed, our cat clients don’t feel invaded in their territory, nor do they have to run looking for a safe space to hide. Under this bed, they find a quiet place, full of calm and security, and best of all, it still has the same functionality for the owner! You will continue to rest as you normally would, but now, you provide a unique den to your cat.”

Underwhelmed responses included:

“Yes! please do loudass hot laps beneath me while I sleep.”
“The sound of a cat warfing under my head as I’m trying to sleep sounds amazing.”
“So do you have to take the bed apart every time you’re looking for them to go to the vet?”
“Even in the marketing images, they show the little a**hole ignoring the expensive amusement park they bought for it to still sleep on the humans’ bed.”
“Until someone starts fighting at 2 am. Right under your face.”
“My cat brings in way too many mice and lizards for this to be a good idea.”
“‘Great idea!’ Said no person who’s owned a cat, ever”
“The people that made this obviously don’t own cats.”
“I’ve never owned a cat and I can say with great confidence that neither has the person who designed this.”

COVID-19: A study that purported to show that hospitalizations decreased after mask mandates were passed has been withdrawn. Wait, wut? Masks don’t work?

“The authors have withdrawn this manuscript because there are increased rates of SARS- CoV-2 cases in the areas that we originally analyzed in this study.”

N.b., the issue is about the use of masks in non-medical settings.

EVIDENCE: There is not only some evidence of voter fraud, there is a WHOLE HELLUVA LOT of it!

On Tuesday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany announced the Trump team has 234 pages of sworn affidavits JUST for Wayne County, Michigan.

In them, witnesses say there was a batch of ballots where 60 percent had the same signature, 35 ballots that had no voter record but were counted anyway, and 50 ballots that were run multiple times through a tabulation machine.

One woman alleges that her son was deceased but nevertheless somehow voted.

“These are one of many many allegations in one county, and a county no less, where poll watchers were in many cases threatened with racial harassment, they were pushed out of the way, and Democrat challengers were handing out documents, how to distract GOP challengers,” she continued. “These are real, and anyone who cares about transparency and the integrity of the system should want this to pursue to the discovery phase.”

FOX NEWS: They got woke and now, like the NBA and others, they will go broke. CLICK https://twitter.com/NikkiMcR/status/1325917697968844801 [1:29] to see Neil Cavuto cut away from Kayleigh McEnany because he couldn’t “in good conscience continue showing you this.”

Conservative viewers have at least two alternatives – OAN and NewsMax. If I had cable, I’d have already switched. As it is, I’ll continue to consume my news on the internet and decide for myself on a case-by-case basis which sites go on my “Never Click” list.

GEORGIA: On November 11, Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the state will carry out a manual hand recount of ballots.

GOP: If you’re active with your local Republicans, you might want to read this.

ILHAN OMAR: Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar has now funneled nearly $2.8 million of her campaign’s money to E Street Group LLC, a political consulting firm owned by her current husband, Tim Mynett. Mynett’s firm got nearly 70% of her third-quarter disbursements. Assuming the two share finances, Omar is effectively getting a royalty on every campaign payment sent her way.

MICHIGAN: At the pdf link, you can read the law suit filed on behalf of Plaintiff “to raise numerous issues of fraud and misconduct that occurred in order to protect the rights of all voters in Michigan, especially Wayne County.” It contains very specific testimony regarding ballot handling irregularities.

PENNSYLVANIA: On Nov. 1, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, decided that voters could provide proof of identification until Nov. 12. State law stipulates that voters have until Nov. 9. The Trump campaign sued and on Thursday, a Pennsylvania judge ruled in their favor. There are other outstanding legal challenges in Pennsylvania, but this appears to be our first win in what will be a busy season for the judicial system.

PILGER: Richard Pilger resigned from his position as director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Department of Justice (DOJ) because … wait for it … his boss, U.S. Attorney General William Barr issued a memo directing prosecutors to investigate potential voter fraud.

The New York Times (aka, Fish Wrap of Record) described Pilger’s resignation as a principled stand by a career official. But there is a whole lot of what Paul Harvey would’ve called “the rest of the story.” I recommend the American Thinker article linked below. It explains why the DOJ has not pursued voter fraud cases up until now!

SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook is “fact checking” most things about election fraud. Some accounts get suspended temporarily or even canceled. If this were going in the other direction, “President-elect” Republican and his illegitimate “transition team” would be the ones getting fact checked 24-7 with helpful links to articles about what the Constitution says about how elections are decided and how it’s not over until it’s over.

STOP THE STEAL: The person who accidentally uncovered and exposed Maidengate says it goes way further than maiden names. She encourages everyone to check their voter registration status anywhere and under any name they’ve ever been registered. Even if you’re like me and have only been registered in one place, check variations of your name. The second link below has links for every state. Thankfully, my maiden name records both came up empty.

WELCOME TO THE GULAG: What percentage of Democrats congratulated George W. Bush on his win over Al Gore while they were recounting votes in Florida?

USPS whistleblower did NOT recant

Erie, Pennsylvania, USPS whistleblower, Richard Hopkins, signed an affidavit attesting to his having been told to back date late ballots so they would be counted.

On Tuesday, Democrats released a document in which Hopkins recanted his story. But he says he was coerced into signing it … and he has a tape of the interview to back up his story.

The tape of the two hour interview is posted @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkNkQ2nDQfc.

https://www.projectveritas.com/news/marine-veteran-and-usps-whistleblower-richard-hopkins-stands-by-original/

Hopkins is a Marine combat veteran who says he came forward, because he believes that the integrity of the election and of our democracy depends on people speaking up when they see wrongdoing.

The USPS has fired him for doing the right thing.

ARIZONA: According to the latest unofficial results, Trump has 1,633,896 (49.02 percent) votes, while Biden has 1,648,642 votes (49.47 percent). As of Nov. 10, more than 60,000 votes remain to be counted.

Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican, addressed the lengthy counting time, saying it’s the result of their efforts to ensure the integrity of the election.

George Khalaf, the president of Data Orbital, a Phoenix-based data analysis and political consulting firm, said that, based on their data, “we strongly feel that it [Arizona] will flip back to President trump … we feel like he will win a narrow victory.”

BIPARTISANSHIP: [:55] – I used to believe in “reaching across the aisle” … until I started to pay attention and realized that for the Left, it means, “Do everything we say or we will hurt you.”

COVID: Continuing with the Left’s Jackboot approach to managing the rarely lethal disease, Joe Biden’s illegitimate “transition team” announced the creation of a COVID-19 advisory board. On the agenda for Americans if we end up burdened with a President Biden will be increased Covid-19 testing, an unconstitutional, national mask mandate and the possibility of nationwide lockdowns.

CNBC’s article states this will all happen “once President-elect Joe Biden takes office Jan. 20.” Yeah, no.

Funny how when Slow Joe was VP, there were periods of time when at least two far more lethal viruses were spreading around the country. At one point, Biden suggested people think twice before traveling on mass transit to avoid infection. The White House quickly walked that one back, assuring all of us that there was no danger whatsoever from riding in taxis, buses, trains, or planes.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY: [4:16] – Jody Shaw has blown the whistle on her employer, Smith College, because of its offensive and abusive Critical Race Theory indoctrination for staff. As with many colleges and universities around the country, it is implementing Critical Race Theory (“CRT”) training, including how students, faculty, administrators, and staff should deal with their “white privilege.”

FACEBOOK: Working hard at carrying water for the Dems.

FOX NEWS: The network was No. 1 on Election Night … when it did such a rotten job that, for the first time in ages, it has fallen to No. 3 in ratings behind MSNBC and CNN.

FRAUD: [2:18] – The Slime Stream Media, Democrat leadership, and NeverTrump Republicans are all hooting that there is No Evidence of Voter Fraud. They can say it all they like. Don’t make it so. Click to see a compilation of links to articles and videos that expose their lie.

#MAIDENGATE: Voters across America are alleging that votes have been cast in their maiden names or former names in some states that handed Biden a victory.

One tweeted, “I am currently registered to vote in 3 possibly 4 different states. My ex husbands last name, my current husbands last name, and my maiden name.”

The article includes links to each state’s voter data bases, so you can check your name(s). My maiden name came up clean, but I have only ever been registered in one county, so when I got married, I changed my name. Not a lot of wiggle room for cheaters LOL.

MEDIA MALPRACTICE: The Left just can’t STAND to let Trump have credit for doing anything right. Not ever. On Monday, it was reported that Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has shown a 90 percent effectiveness rate and will be available soon.

Instead of cheering the good news that a vaccine is right around the corner, the disgusting media tried to make the story about how Pfizer wasn’t involved in Trump’s “Operation Warp Speed” efforts to develop a vaccine.

However, the reason Pfizer will be able to mass produce and distribute 100M doses is that the U.S. government placed an initial order of 100 million doses for $1.95 billion.

MICHIGAN: A Detroit election worker has filed an affidavit stating that she witnessed election workers “coaching” voters to vote for Joe Biden. The affidavit is part of a lawsuit in which the city employee, Jessy Jacob, states:

“I directly observed, on a daily basis, City of Detroit election workers and employees coaching and trying to coach voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. I witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do a straight Democrat ballot. I witnessed these election workers and employees going over to the voting booths with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them for whom to vote.”

NORTH CAROLINA: The state hasn’t been officially called, because its state election board unconstitutionally extended Election Day until Nov. 12.

PFIZER’S VACCINE: In good news for pro-lifers, Pfizer’s soon-to-be available COVID-19 vaccine was developed without using fetal cells. As a consequence, the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute listed the vaccine as “ethically uncontroversial.”

The second Lozier Institute link below goes to a chart showing which of the vaccines under development do and do not use fetal cells.

TEXAS: Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is offering cash rewards for anyone who turns over evidence of voter fraud to local law enforcement. If a tip leads to an arrest and conviction, the whistleblower will be paid a minimum of $25,000.

“I support President Trump’s efforts to identify voter fraud in the presidential election and his commitment to making sure that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is disqualified,” Patrick said.

TEXAS: Limestone County – Kelly Brunner is a social worker who is supposed to be serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the supported living center where she works. Instead, she abused their inability to give effective consent to commit 134 felony counts of election fraud. If convicted, Brunner faces up to 10 years in prison for these offenses.

WISCONSIN: Gateway Pundit reports that “evidence was provided to us that showed that the vote totals for Rock County appeared to be switched between President Trump and Joe Biden. 9,516 votes were eliminated from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden. This 19,032 vote difference when corrected would eliminate Biden’s lead in Wisconsin.

Evidence has also come to light regarding illegal guidance issued by the Wisconsin Elections Commission that resulted in municipal clerks filling out missing witness addresses on absentee ballot certificates. The law says that if the witness address is missing under the witness signature, it’s a spoiled ballot or invalid ballot. Instead of setting these ballots aside, clerks were told to fill in addresses using red ink. The Epoch Times spoke to four poll watchers who witnessed the red ink on absentee ballots that were counted on Election Day in Milwaukee.

GRAMMY NOTES: It’s very dusty in here right now. My grand-daughter’s kindergarten teacher posted video and photos on their private FB page from their special Veteran’s Day visit from two very special to me veterans. My daughter and her husband. The video of the class marching around the school while former Drill Sergeant Sil led them in a cadence just really got to me.

Pennsylvania

It is likely that the courts will decide the fate of Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes. On Nov. 9, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and seven county boards of election charging that “almost every critical aspect” of the election was “effectively shrouded in secrecy.”

It also alleges that the Pennsylvania election process violated the Constitution by creating different standards of verification and transparency for mail-in and in-person voters, as well as disparate treatment of Republican and Democrat voters and poll watchers.

An independent research says 100,000 absentee ballots have return dates that raise questions. Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date. More than 9,000 have no sent date.

The Philadelphia GOP has identified at least 840 dead people who voted in the election. A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) claims that at least 21,000 dead people were not removed from the Pennsylvania voter rolls before the election.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Monday he has learned about illegal potential ballot harvesting in Pennsylvania nursing homes where up to 25,000 residents in different nursing homes requested mail-in ballots at the exact same time.

Graham also told critics of Trump’s fight for a fair election, “We don’t need their permission to look into these allegations. We owe it to those who voted for President Trump and the country at large to test this system. If we don’t deal with voting by mail in 2020, we will never win the White House again.”

Nevada

New evidence of massive voter fraud has been brought to light by a whistleblower who was an election worker in Clark County. This person has signed an affidavit signed on Nov. 8 describing multiple instances of fraud and misconduct on behalf of Joe Biden. The affidavit can be viewed at the Washington Examiner link.

“I personally witnessed two people handing multiple unopened mail in ballot envelopes to two other people who then opened and filled out the ballots against the side of the Biden/Harris van,” the affidavit said. “The same two people who marked the ballots then put the marked ballots in official pink and white envelopes. These people were not poll workers.”

He also said that other people attempted to block his view of the illegal activity.

Just a personal note about the second screenshot of the affidavit. Nevada law requires photo ID to vote. But this whistleblower said people who showed up without a photo ID were allowed to go outside where someone was conveniently placed to “schedule them to get a driver’s license.” Then, they were allowed to come back inside and vote!

New York does not require photo ID to vote and I vote by absentee ballot anyway. But the last time I went for blood work, which I have to do regularly, the lab tech said they’d changed the rules. From now on, photo ID will be required. She let me get off without it last time, which was “nice” seeing as she has drawn my blood numerous times so, hello, she knows who I am. But she said I better get a photo ID before the next time so she wouldn’t have to bend the rules a second time.

I haven’t had a photo ID in all the years since my last driver’s license expired. I’ve been “seriously disabled” (my legal classification) and largely home bound for more than 20 years, so I just didn’t bother about it. Now that I really have to have one, I downloaded the forms to get a New York non-driver’s license.

Here is a list of the ID items I recently gathered together to prepare for going to apply for the card and get my photo taken: Social Security card; birth certificate; bank statement showing my name and street address; Social Security statement showing my name and street address; marriage certificate; health insurance card.

The form provides three pages of documents that can be used to provide proof of name, address, and Social Security number. Each thing has a point value assigned. The documents provided have to add up to enough points to qualify. I had to have six. I was only able to come up with seven, because a bunch of things I could have used, like our utility bills, are not in my name.

Anyway, this one item of voter fraud really ticked me off. I mean, it took about two hours to download the forms and understand it all, then find all the right papers! I still have to go download MV-44 (the application), fill it out, make an appointment, then go to the DMV to present it all and get my photo taken. But these people were allowed to violate state law and vote based on having made an appointment with some random person in a parking lot to allegedly go to the DMV at some time in the future! ARGH!
