‘Never bet against me’: Trump makes first post-election comments, lays out path to victory
“It’s probably two weeks, three weeks” to know outcome, President says
By Joseph Cur, Just the News, November 13, 2020 – 12:30pm
That’s what President Trump told Washington Examiner reporter Byron York on Thursday, in his first post-election comments on the state of the 2020 presidential race.
Trump was optimistic, laying out a scenario in which he pulls out wins in key battleground states and gets to the magic number of 270 votes in the Electoral College.
“We’re going to win Wisconsin,” the president said in the exclusive phone interview. “Arizona – it’ll be down to 8,000 votes, and if we can do an audit of the millions of votes, we’ll find 8,000 votes easy. If we can do an audit, we’ll be in good shape there.”
“Georgia, we’re going to win, because now, we’re down to about 10,000, 11,000 votes, and we have hand-counting,” he said, referring to a call by Georgia’s secretary of state do perform a full audit on the election. “Hand-counting is the best. To do a spin of the machine doesn’t mean anything. You pick up 10 votes. But when you hand-count – I think we’re going to win Georgia.”
Trump also presented a rosy view on North Carolina, where he leads by more than 70,000 votes. He predicts a win there unless, he said jokingly, “they happen to find a lot of votes. I said, ‘When are they going to put in the new votes in North Carolina? When are they going to find a batch from Charlotte?’ ”
That leaves Pennsylvania (where Trump trails 60,000 votes) and Michigan (where he’s behind by more than 145,000 votes).
The two big states,” Trump said, adding, “They’re all sort of big.”
Trump then complained about the process in Pennsylvania.
“They wouldn’t let our poll watchers and observers watch or observe,” he said. “That’s a big thing. They should throw those votes out that went through during those periods of time when [Trump observers] weren’t there. We went to court, and the judge ordered [the observers] back, but that was after two days, and millions of votes could have gone through. Millions. And we’re down 50,000,” he said.
The president told York he has contemplated losing. “I’m a guy who realizes – five days ago, I thought, ‘Maybe,’” he said. “But, now I see evidence, and we have hundreds of affidavits,” referring to the testimony included in lawsuits by his campaign.
“When I asked him how quickly he might turn things around,” York wrote, “he said, ‘I don’t know. It’s probably two weeks, three weeks.’”
“He knows the situation. He has heard many people tell him it’s over and time to concede. But at the very least, it is important for his most devoted supporters to see him fighting to stay in office. And he closed with a good-natured warning for everyone who has told him there is no hope: ‘Never bet against me,’” York wrote.

Proverbs 6:16–19 NKJV. These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren.
I have recently been made aware at a men’s fellowship group of a Bible quote in Proverbs by my good friend Bob Armstrong. Joe Biden says he is a Catholic. I am a Catholic. Because I am a Catholic I unequivocally believe in the sanctity of life, the sanctity of marriage as between one man and one woman and in the God given right to practice my religion freely in these United States of America.
As I read these words in Proverbs I wondered if Joe Biden is an abomination to God?
Joe Biden, as the head of the Democrat Party, believes in abortion, gay marriage and members of his party have suppressed freedom of religion using Covid as a useful excuse.
Let’s look at the six things that God hates and you decide if Joe Biden is an abomination to God.
A proud look. A proud look speaks of a person who would want his or her will above the will of God and the will of others. It speaks of people who are arrogant and full of themselves. Does Joe Biden care more about enriching himself than feeding the poor?
A lying tongue. Satan is identified as “the father of lies” (John 8:44 NLT). It’s as clear as day: God is truth, and Satan is the father of lies. Therefore when we lie, we are behaving more like the children of the devil than the children of God. Does Joe Biden lie?
Hands that shed innocent blood. The most innocent of blood is that of the unborn in the womb.
A heart that devises wicked plans. Look at the 2020 election and you be the judge.
Feet that are swift in running to evil. Does Joe Biden denounce evil (e.g. the riots that have destroyed cities across America) or does he embrace evil?
A false witness who speaks lies. Joe Biden has declared himself the president elect of the United States before the legal votes of all states have been counted and certified.
One who sows discord among brethren. Does Joe Biden hate those who did not vote for him as the leader of the Democrat Party?
One may say that all of us violate each of these things that the Lord hates. This is so. None of us is without sin.
However, it is only those of us who understand that we are sinners and do everything we can to repent, only then will we be looked at with favor by God.
Many are quick to blame politicians for many of our woes. Perhaps we should blame ourselves for electing un-Godly men and women? For American was created by and for a moral people.
As President John Adams stated:
Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

ALBANY, NY—Many thought it was great news when they heard about the effectiveness of Pfizer’s coronavirus vaccine, but one person is alarmed by this development: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. In fact, Cuomo says he has scientists developing a vaccine that will render President Trump’s vaccine ineffective.
“We are doing great here in New York, and I have done everything perfectly,” Cuomo told the press, “just ask anyone in the media — especially my brother Chris. So we don’t need Trump coming in here and mucking everything up with his vaccine that’s been unproven except for multiple tests by the FDA.”
Cuomo hopes to have the vaccine-vaccine ready next week and will make it mandatory for all citizens of New York. “No one is getting cured by Trump,” Cuomo stated. “Not on my watch.”
Other governors have expressed interest in Cuomo’s vaccine-vaccine, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom. “Trump is just trying to endanger everyone by giving them the freedom to leave their houses when they want and do what they want,” Newsom said. “Californians just aren’t ready to abandon my guidance on their everyday activities.”
President Trump seemed unperturbed by the resistance to his vaccine, though. “Those states didn’t vote for me,” he said, “so I hope they all die.”

On Saturday evening, presidential front-runner Joe Biden—who doesn’t actually become president-elect until vote counts are certified—gave a preliminary victory address.
In that address, he spoke of his mandate to govern: a mandate, he said, that extended to marshalling the “forces of decency … fairness … science … hope.” Which is a pretty vague mandate, as it turns out.
But there was another overarching mandate Biden expressed: a mandate to come together, to unify as Americans. “To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy,” Biden said. “We are not enemies. We are Americans.”
All of that is nice. Who wouldn’t like a country in which we could enjoy cultural events together without being lectured about the alleged evils of the country, in which we could attend family events without being castigated as bigots, in which we could disagree and still enjoy one another?
The left is actively working to undermine the integrity of our elections. Read the plan to stop them now. Learn more now >>
Who wouldn’t like an America in which our neighbors no longer see us as cancel-culture targets, in which we no longer have to fear our compatriots rioting and looting over supposed systemic injustices, in which our social interactions are not limited by our voter registration?
But.
Americans are right to have some rather serious trust issues with calls for unity in our polarized time. After all, former President Barack Obama pledged American reunification right up until he began treating tea partyers as unspeakable threats and political opponents as crypto-racists. Everything was hopey and changey right up until the time … it wasn’t.
So, in order to earn our trust, Biden would have to call his own side out for raising the temperature. And he has steadfastly refused to do so.
He hasn’t called out Black Lives Matter for the suggestion that America is systemically racist; he has cheered it on. He hasn’t condemned Antifa; he has deemed it a philosophy rather than a dangerous movement. And he certainly hasn’t said a word about the continuing attacks on Trump supporters.
We will wait in vain for Biden to chide former first lady Michelle Obama for declaring that 70 million Americans “voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division.” Our bones will likely bleach before Biden tells Hillary Clinton that Trump supporters aren’t deplorables.
No, “unity” in the Biden formulation isn’t a recognition of what we have in common; it’s a demand that we silence ourselves in order to mirror Biden’s priorities.
Unity, you see, can be achieved one of two ways: through recognition of the other, through a determination to understand those who think differently than we do; or through ideological domination. It’s rather obvious which pathway Democrats will choose. After all, social ostracization is one of their most powerful tools. Why disarm now?
Americans can only come together when we share a common philosophy, history, and culture. Democrats have spent years attempting to tear away those commonalities in favor of coalitional interest-group politics.
They’ve declared American philosophy racist from inception; they’ve declared American history a litany of brutalities; they’ve declared American culture bigotry embodied. Now they want unity—the unity of absolute victory.
Ironically, it’s that very desire—the desire for monolithic control—that will be their undoing.
Unless Biden is serious about unity—unless he’s willing to cross the aisle and recognize the humanity of those with whom he disagrees, and to call out those on his own side who won’t—Biden’s term is likely to be contentious, polarizing, and ultimately unsuccessful.

New research shows that domestic violence surged during quarantine.
The unintended consequences of the COVID-19 lockdowns have been severe: mass unemployment, increased drug overdoses and suicides, and widespread social unrest are but a few of them.
On Monday, the National Bureau of Economic Research released a paper detailing another: increased domestic violence.
Analyzing government-mandated lockdowns in India, researchers Saravana Ravindran and Manisha Shah found evidence of a 131 percent increase in complaints of domestic violence in May 2020 in “red zone districts,” or districts that experienced the strictest lockdown measures, relative to districts that had less strict measures (“green zones”).
The researchers, who used a difference-in-differences empirical strategy, found the increase in domestic violence complaints was consistent with a surge in Google search activity for terms related to domestic violence over the same period.
The authors’ findings “contribute to a growing literature on the impacts of lockdowns and stay-at-home policies on violence against women during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The findings, which also found a decline in reported sexual assaults because of decreased mobility, are similar to those from research that found lockdowns led to a 100 percent increase in intimate partner violence calls in Mexico City. A study analyzing data from police departments in four US cities showed smaller increases in domestic violence, 10-27 percent, during lockdown periods.
Globally about one-third of women experience “intimate partner violence” (IPV), which negatively impacts female earnings, labor participation, earnings, mental health, and household consumption.
Unseen Costs of Lockdowns
The global increase in domestic violence during the lockdown period has received relatively little attention, though CNN recently reported on the increase south of the US border.
In Mexico, federal lawmakers shut down most of its economy on March 23, urging people to stay indoors. Activists told the network the action spurred “an onslaught of domestic violence,” and data show 911 calls for domestic violence are up 44 percent from the same time the previous year.
“The lockdowns triggered violence in so many ways,” Perla Acosta Galindo, Director of Más Sueños A.C., a women’s community center, told CNN. “People can’t work, there’s alcoholism, overcrowding; it’s a lot.”
Lockdowns Are Destructive
To some degree, the COVID pandemic has been portrayed as a morality play. Some would have you believe those who care about people support lockdowns; those who don’t care about people oppose them. We’re presented with false choices: we can support the economy or protect American lives.
These types of arguments only serve to divide. They can also obscure a basic truth: there are human costs to lockdowns, besides the economic ones, that can ravage lives just as badly as any disease. The Washington Post, for example, recently reported on ”a hidden epidemic within the coronavirus pandemic”: drug overdoses. One Ohio coroner said he can’t process the bodies fast enough.
“We’ve literally run out of wheeled carts to put them on,” Anahi Ortiz told the paper.
Statistics suggest the trend is national in scope. Data from the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program show that overdoses were up 18 percent in March, 29 percent in April, and 42 percent in May from the same periods the previous year.
These statistics should come as no surprise. Social scientists have been writing about the deadly consequences of social isolation for years.
It’s not just higher stress levels, disrupted sleep patterns, and altered immune systems. One 2015 study determined that social isolation substantially increased the risk of stroke (32 percent) and heart disease (29 percent).
Social isolation is also linked to suicide. While there is no comprehensive 2020 data on suicides, anecdotal evidence suggests many are struggling to cope with quarantine life. In May, during the peak of the lockdowns, one California doctor told local media his hospital has seen “a year’s worth of suicide attempts in the last four weeks.”
Recognizing That Lockdowns Have Victims
As the French economist Frédéric Bastiat stressed, every policy, “produces not only one effect, but a series of effects.” The immediate and intended effects are what he calls “the seen,” while the indirect, unintended consequences are “the unseen.” “The seen” usually gets all the attention, while “the unseen” often goes neglected.
In this case, “the seen” are the victims of the virus and those who hopefully avoid spreading or catching the disease because of the lockdowns. They are, without a doubt, worthy of our care and attention.
But we also must not ignore “the unseen”: the millions of human beings who, as a result of the lockdowns, have become victims of domestic violence, drug overdoses, depression, suicide, and more.
As Antony Davies and James Harrigan wrote, “The uncomfortable truth is that no policy can save lives; it can only trade lives.” It may one day be determined that the lockdowns saved more lives than they destroyed, although recent evidence suggests the correlation between lockdown severity and COVID-19 deaths is weak. But let’s not underestimate the devastating human toll of this policy.
The lives ruined or snuffed out by the lockdowns deserve better than that. They deserve to be seen. COLUMN BY

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945.
A friend sent me a meme that shows a mother scolding her child saying, “If you don’t stop lying you’ll grow up to be a factchecker for Facebook!”
The meme was intended as political satire but, sadly, has turned into political reality. We are seeing lying and cheating at unprecedented levels before, during and now after the 2020 presidential election.
Lying and cheating are two lanes on the road to perdition. Lying and cheating go with one another like hate goes with fear. The intent of lying is to fool people. The goal of cheating is to steal from people. In the case of the 2020 election cycle we have witnessed both at levels never seen before.
I find it most interesting and revealing that Democrats, the media, the tech giants like Facebook, Twitter, Google, are spreading lies while doing everything in their power to cover up the massive election cheating. They are stealing the truth from the American people. This is the greatest forced “thought crime” in my lifetime.
I have witnessed this level of lying and cheating in the former Soviet Union, Communist China, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Syria, and Russia, to name a few. I never thought I would ever see it here in America.
Liars Cheat and Cheaters Lie
Bill Little is doing a series of videos titled The Stolen Election – American Pravda. Watch the first in his series that analyses just one interview between ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and the Governor of South Dakota Kristi Noem. WATCH:
If anyone was listening to the entire interview then watched Bill Little’s analysis they would clearly come away with the truth, that they have been lied to and cheated on before, during and after the 2020 election. I can hardly wait for Bill’s next episode. Here are some examples of how this election was stolen:
The pollsters and media were lying before the election in favor of Biden over Trump.
The exit pollsters, media and social media were lying as people were stealing votes on November 3rd.
The media, social media, Democrats, Biden, Harris lied that Biden won and Trump lost.
Finally, the media, social media, Democrats, Biden and Harris suppressed the truth of massive election fraud by lying.
The recounts, and subsequent lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign, have proven that massive cheating and theft, destruction of Trump votes in multiple swing states, dead people voting, mail-in-ballot fraud have happened and are real.
Conservatives won House races on Election Day and many of these new members are expected to bring fresh perspectives to Capitol Hill as they represent millennials, minorities, the disabled, and immigrants, among others.
Here are five of the House’s incoming freshman Republicans.
1. Kat Cammack, 3rd District of Florida
Kat Cammack defeated Democrat Adam Christensen to win Florida’s 3rd Congressional District with 57.2% of the vote. Cammack, 32, is a former aide to Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., having served as his chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and campaign manager. She now will succeed Yoho, who is retiring after four terms.
The left is actively working to undermine the integrity of our elections. Read the plan to stop them now. Learn more now >>
Born in Denver into a family of cattle ranchers, Cammack is a strong Second Amendment advocate and committed to supporting farmers and ranchers.
The congresswoman-elect completed her bachelor’s degree at Metropolitan State University in Denver before earning a master’s of science degree in national defense and strategic studies at the Naval War College.
Cammack says she became active in politics in 2011 after her family lost their ranch, which she blamed on the Obama administration’s Home Affordable Modification Program, a program intended to help homeowners refinance underwater mortgages.
During her time working for Yoho, she established four new Veterans Affairs clinics in Florida; crafted Project Putnam, intended to “improve the economic, social, educational, and overall development of Putnam County”; and oversaw Yoho’s North Central Florida Human Trafficking Task Force.
Matt Harrison, Cammack’s husband, is a firefighter and paramedic. Together they founded the Grit Foundation, a nonprofit supporting veterans, first responders, and local law enforcement.
2. Madison Cawthorn, 11th District of North Carolina
Madison Cawthorn, 25, will become the youngest member of Congress in modern history when he is sworn in in January.
Cawthorn defeated Democratic candidate Morris Davis to win North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District with 54.5% of the vote.
Born and raised in the 11th District, which encompases much of the westernmost part of the state, Cawthorn hoped to join the Navy and attend the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, to which Mark Meadows, former North Carolina congressman and current White House chief of staff, had nominated him.
Cawthorn was forced to change his life plans when he sustained serious injuries in a car accident in the spring of 2014 that put him in the intensive care unit of a hospital for five weeks.
Cawthorn’s extensive injuries left him partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair. The young congressman-elect says he can relate to people who feel they “have been dealt a bad hand.”
Before running for Congress, he worked as a staff assistant in Meadows’ district office and attended Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, Virginia, for a time. In 2019, he started his own small real estate investment business.
In a campaign video, Cawthorn said that, as a millennial, he plans to bring a fresh perspective to Congress and is committed to saying “no to high taxes [and] no to socialism.”
3. Byron Donalds, 19th District of Florida
Byron Donalds defeated his Democratic opponent, Cindy Banyai, in a landslide, capturing 61.3% of the vote in Florida’s 19th Congressional District.
On his website, Donalds, 42, claims to be “everything the fake news media [say] doesn’t exist: a Trump-supporting, liberty-loving, pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment black man.”
Donalds was raised by a single mother in Brooklyn, New York, and credits her for instilling in him a passion to “leave future generations better than the current [one].”
He settled in Florida after graduating from Florida State University in 2002 with degrees in finance and marketing. He worked in insurance, banking, and finance for a number of years in southwestern Florida and became politically involved in 2016 when he was elected to serve in the state House of Representatives.
In 2017, he was named a “Champion of Economic Freedom” by the nonprofit Americans for Prosperity, and in 2018, the American Conservative Union Foundation honored him with its Award for Conservative Excellence.
Donalds is chairman of the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee of the Florida House of Representatives. Criminal justice reform, education, and elder affairs are three of the issues he has focused on during his time in the state House.
The father of three sons, Donalds and wife Erika live in Naples, Florida. He has served as a youth leader in his church and serves as a volunteer coach for local youth basketball and football leagues.
Donalds has received a 100% rating from Florida Right to Life.
4. Yvette Herrell, 2nd District of New Mexico
New Mexico native and small business champion Yvette Herrell won the election in New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District with 53.9% of the vote, with 95% of the vote reported.
This was Herrell’s second congressional bid. In 2018, she was defeated by Democrat Xochitl Torres Small by a narrow margin of 3,800 votes out of more than 199,000 cast, according to Ballotpedia.org. In their rematch, Herrell won the seat despite being outspent 3 to 1.
Herrell, 56, has committed to “take New Mexico’s values to Congress and work across party lines,” noting endorsements on her website from both former Democratic Rep. Harry Teague and former Republican Rep. Steve Pearce.
Herrell, a Heritage Action for America sentinel, served in New Mexico’s House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019. As a member of the Cherokee Nation, she will be the third Native American woman to serve in Congress, according to the Las Cruces Sun-News.
As an entrepreneur, real estate agent, and former small businesses owner, Herrell says she is prepared to fight against big government overreach. In 2018, the Rio Grande Foundation’s Freedom Index ranked her in first place for upholding principles of economic freedom among more than 100 political leaders in the state.
Herrell doesn’t shy away from a discussion of the border wall and says she is committed to completing it and to standing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents. She also advocates for the growth of America’s military and says New Mexico would be an “ideal location” for the military to develop its new Space Force branch.
5. Maria Elvira Salazar, 27th District of Florida
Congresswoman-elect Maria Elvira Salazar was born to immigrant parents who fled Cuba and came to America to escape Fidel Castro’s dictatorship. Salazar, who turned 59 two days before the election, grew up in Miami and Puerto Rico, where her parents instilled in her the value of freedom.
She defeated Democratic freshman Rep. Donna Shalala in a rematch of their 2018 contest to win Florida’s 27th Congressional District, capturing 51% of the vote, according to Miami’s Channel 4, a CBS affiliate. Shalala served as secretary of health and human services for eight years in the administration of then-President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001.
Salazar has lived the American dream, attending the University of Miami before going on to Harvard University to earn a master’s degree in public administration. She has had a successful career as a journalist, becoming a prominent anchor for CNN Español and later covering the Persian Gulf War and El Salvador’s civil war, the latter for Univision.
Salazar served as a Pentagon and White House correspondent for Univision for a number of years before becoming the bureau chief for its Central America division.
As the senior political correspondent for Telemundo in Cuba, Salazar interviewed Castro at the Cuban mission to the United Nations in 1995.
The winner of five broadcasting Emmy Awards, Salazar has been praised for her “passion for freedom and uncovering oppressive, communist, and socialist regimes in Latin America, especially in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua,” as noted on her website.
Salazar, who has two daughters and lives in Miami with her husband, is a staunch anti-socialist, writing on her website: “Socialism isn’t a romantic ideal as those on the left want us to believe.” She promises to “fight so everyone can pursue the American dream.” COLUMN BY

This is not a banana republic. This is the United States of America.
Here we are on the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Compact (November 11, 1620)—the document that initiated American democracy that culminated in the Constitution and our freedoms.
And yet election integrity is at risk. How this is resolved may well determine what kind of a country we become and what kind of a legacy we leave for our children and posterity.
As one man put it, “The importance of getting it right outweighs the importance of rushing to judgment.” Who was this? Some rube with the Trump campaign? No, actually, that was former Clinton cabinet member Warren Christopher on November 11, 2000, speaking on behalf of the Gore campaign during the hotly contested Bush-Gore election.
The media, including Fox News, have already called this race for Joe Biden. Many are calling him “president elect.” Is it not more honest to call him, at best, the “projected president elect”? Besides, who died and gave the media the authority to decide who is president?
There’s always cheating in elections, I suppose. It seems that conservatives always have to get a percentage or more of extra votes to counteract the cheating. Hmmmm. If the left is so great, why do they so often have to cheat to win?
There are serious and credible allegations of voter fraud in some of the key swing states. The swing states include Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
Here are some examples:
Citizen Free Press reports: “Giuliani tells Maria Bartiromo [Fox News] this morning [11/8/20] that as many as 900,000 invalid ballots were cast in Pennsylvania, and that the Trump campaign will reveal the full slate of evidence in court.”
Trump attorney Sidney Powell added that they’ve identified 450,000 ballots in PA that only had Biden on them (not any vote for candidates of other offices on the ballot).
In Pennsylvania, supposedly 840 voters were 101 or older; 39 lived through the Civil War; 45 were born in the 1800s. These are among the 21,000+ dead people in Pennsylvania that are reported to have voted. As some wag noted, “I see dead people voting.”
Despite court orders, poll counters in Philadelphia and Detroit reportedly have prevented Republican vote counting monitors from seeing the ballot counting. Furthermore, in some instances, workers have boarded up windows, eliminating any pretense of transparency.
A software “glitch” in Michigan has caused thousands of votes for Trump to be applied as votes for Biden. Ian Miles Cheong tweets (11/6/20): “The software used to tabulate the votes in one county sent at least 6,000 Trump votes to Biden. 47 counties used the software. Other states may have, too. Was it a glitch or a ‘feature’?”
“This is the first time in American history, where you have a party systematically set out to win an election after the election. That’s what they’re doing, and it has to be stopped.” [Emphasis added]
Why does no one in the media remember this exchange in the first debate between Chris Wallace and Vice President Biden: “final question for you…will you pledge not to declare victory until the election is independently certified?
What you saw on the morning of November 7, 2020 were the convulsions of America the Beautiful before her death. A massive voter-fraud has been going on within our electoral system to make the U.S. into a Venezuela or USSR. The credibility of the entire electoral process was poisoned. On the afternoon of November 7, 2020, Joe Biden was declared 46th President by the media that abetted his candidacy. No one had understood nor been aware why Joe chose November 7, 2020, no one commented on the date. I got it the moment Joe proclaimed his winning. I knew the reason because I am a former Soviet attorney, writing about Russia and Putin’s KGB for the last thirty-five years. It was all a part of Putin’s vendetta against America for the collapse of the Soviet Union to make a demented Biden as President and a giggling twit as VP. Oh boy! Putin will play his puppet Biden like a Stradivarius!
Writing about Russia and her Intel for years, I warned you by my refrains: Knowledge of Russia and her Intel is a MUST. I also warned Republicans to learn, because I saw the Democrat Party’s transformation from JFK’s to Lee Harvey Oswald’s and knew the result. Then in Russia, I worked within the legal community at the time of the KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov and had known his plan to subvert and take over America. Then in the 1960s I didn’t believe his design would succeed, and was stunned to see its gradual implementation when I immigrated to America. Before my eyes the CBS 60 minutes was transformed by Socialist propaganda, the Universities and Colleges are unrecognizable, Newsweek and Time lost their objective attitude to events, and Truman’s Party died. I knew why it happened: Vladimir Putin was a devoted disciple of both Stalin and Andropov and continued their legacy.
If you think that the Collapse in 1991 of the Soviet Union has changed Russia, you are wrong, you don’t know Russia and her Intel. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t a collapse of the USSR, it was a collapse of the Socialist economy that couldn’t produce and compete with capitalism. Yet, the collapse didn’t touch the security apparatus (the real power in the country)—the KGB. Using the instability and chaos in Russia during those days, Socialist KGB took over and catapulted Vladimir Putin to presidency—and the circle of authority was established. Today Russia is run by the KGB apparatus. The old socialist economy was replaced by a crony capitalism under the secured KGB’s total control… Considering the political setting worldwide, an awareness of the Russian leader’s shenanigans is imperative. Putin, armed with the legacy of Stalin’s postulates and Socialist modus operandi has achieved a great deal across the world.

Vladimir Putin and the Political Setting of Socialism/Communism
Had you read my books and this column, you would be familiar with Putin and his career. Putin, a counter-intelligence officer of the KGB, had never changed his political view. As a lawyer with a major in the International Law, he has instilled Socialist mentality throughout the world since 1975. Socialism has its modus operandi: lies, deceit, and fraud combined with symbols and slogans. Socialism is a lawless system, a cult, a religion. The Soviet Socialist economy collapsed in 1991 because it was built on lies, deceit and fraud. Yet, Putin’s vendetta continues running the Socialist ideas. There is an axiom in political philosophy: peaceful coexistence between Capitalism and Socialism is a myth—they are absolute mortal enemies and one of them must be defeated. It is a law of survival hence, Russia and China will be together fighting capitalism. The major role in this fight for now belongs to the devoted disciple of Stalin and Andropov—Vladimir Putin.
Andropov’s Project: Operation Barbarossa
Andropov’s design was a simple and arrogant one: to infiltrate simultaneously the media and all American security apparatus. In my writings I called it—Operation Barbarossa, because I didn’t believe in its validity. I was wrong. Fixing America was begun with the first American Manchurian President elected in 1992. He created the Dems/apparatchiks and delegated George Stephanopoulos (in my opinion the KGB agent) to culminate the changes that had been occurring in America’s media. Bill Clinton has polluted the courts system and Socialist propaganda machine indoctrinated majority of Americans. The second American Manchurian President was elected in 2008 and continued to build up the process of transformation to Socialism. Barack Obama did it openly before your eyes. All of that was possible due to a massive infiltration of Putin’s KGB in the midst of our entire society. Read my book Socialist Lies: From Stalin to the Clinton’s, Obama’s, and Sanders, XLIBRIS, 2016.
History is the Mother of all sciences and I knew the Russian history of Socialist Revolution. It occurred hundred years ago November 7, 1917 at the time of the deadliest pandemic in history – the Spanish flu which infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide. It took the Socialist/Communist forces a hundred years to develop the similar conditions of the events in the world. And here we are. Don’t be surprised by the Chinese COVID-19 Pandemic launched by Socialist and Communist forces to inflict psychological desperation and fear to intimidate and paralyze you. We are dealing with the hundred-year agenda to transform the American Constitutional Republic to Socialism. Vladimir Putin is the major force to achieve the result.

It is not very easy to find good news in the American election. Or to announce whatever good news one has found in a tone that is not surly. But it seems to me there is very good news here on the perennial accursed topic of race, what Barack Obama rightly called America’s original sin.
As Kurt Mahlberg wrote recently on Mercatornet, perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that “at this year’s election, Trump gained ground with almost every demographic except — wait for it — white men.” He did better among blacks, Latinos, Jews, even LGBT voters. And as Mahlberg observed, this outcome seemed to displease and baffle many pundits; he acerbically quoted Paul Krugman’s characteristic tweet that: “The more I look at this election, the less I imagine I understand.”
Fair enough. Pundits get things wrong and occasionally even admit to being baffled. Honesty is good. But Krugman’s tone is not really one of self-examination or reconciliation; it reads more like a condescending snarl at dumbo minorities who don’t know what’s good for them.
Mahlberg finds two things to like in this outcome. First, he says “everyday Americans just don’t buy woke-think” including non-white, non-male, non-straight etc. And as a result: “Whatever the final outcome of this election, the future on the right hand side of politics is looking bright and energetic.”
I think he is right on both points. But horses before carts, people. The really good news is buried behind Krugman’s bafflement and Mahlberg’s consolation, is incredibly good news. It is that America is not a racist swamp. If it were, all these minorities including the one that’s not, which is women, and the one that soon won’t be, which is non-whites, would be huddling round the Democrats for protection and warmth. As many long did. And not without cause.
It will not do to deny the obvious. For a great many years the United States was the land of the free, provided you were not dark-skinned. Various pallid ethnic minorities encountered a certain degree of bigotry, from the Irish in the 19th century to southern and eastern Europeans into the early 20th, especially if they were Jewish. But they generally found that life was better the moment they set foot in America and it just kept improving. The bigotry was real, but not nearly as bad as, say, anti-Semitism in the Russian empire. And every day in every way it became less oppressive.
For blacks and others with dark skin, and for Native Americans, the situation was different. Dreadfully different. So appallingly different that one blanches at descriptions of it. It was true and there’s no denying it.
As a result, it was the Republican Party that got the overwhelming majority of the few votes blacks were able to cast even in the North from the end of the Civil War down through the Great Depression. But the black vote then swung massively to the Democrats, even though they were still the party of white supremacy in the south, because the New Deal included them with an unprecedented degree of fairness and they were hardest hit by hard times. The GOP remained formally committed to civil rights to a greater degree than the Democrats until the Johnson Administration in the mid-1960s. But after that the Democrats dropped the Confederate flag literally and figuratively and good for them doing so.
Now here the conventional story becomes disturbing. Supposedly, when the parties basically switched clothes around the time of Richard Nixon, trading electoral bases, it was because as the Democrats became enlightened on race the GOP started blowing nasty dog whistles to which tens of millions of Americans nastily responded.
If true it would confirm Hillary Clinton’s claim about the “basket of deplorables”. But it was not true. Because if there is no denying that America denied freedom to blacks, there is also no denying that the freedom in question was real, precious and ultimately extended to blacks and other minorities too.
I do not say that all Republicans voted from pure motives. I do not say that no Republicans were racist. (Of course I do not say all Democrats voted from pure motives either, or that none of them were racist, including a surprisingly large, vocal and loathsome fringe that hates white people.) But one of the things that has poisoned American politics, and here I do take on a surly tone briefly, is the torrent of abuse unleashed at conservatives for being unreconstructed haters.
If many supported Trump, and excused or even welcomed his belligerent tone, it is not because they were racist. It’s because they were sick of being unfairly called filthy names as a matter of course. And who would not be?
Of course if their reaction were driven by a guilty conscience it would be inexcusable. But it was not. It was driven by resentment at being abused relentlessly and without cause. And if Democrats want to know who lowered the tone of American politics, in addition to looking to their own unwavering support for Bill Clinton, they should examine carefully their own harsh rhetoric not just about Republicans but about systemic racism, pervasive bigotry, haters and so on.
I have found this “narrative” depressing as well as infuriating. Not so infuriating that I ever excused or backed Trump; I will not be dragged down into the boiling mud. But it was so unfair and so discouraging given the amazing progress Americans have made on race, to some extent pulling the rest of the world with them. Oh, we mock and jibe, but what other Western nation has had a non-white head of government?
It was only 40 years from the riots of the 1960s and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr to the election of Barack Obama. What comparably inspiring story exists in the annals of human history? And yet in the face of it, those most ostensibly committed to racial harmony kept irresponsibly sowing the seeds of bitter division, telling black Americans their white neighbours despised them, that they could not get a break, that America stinks and always will and so on and so on in a foul torrent. But it wasn’t true and the intended audience increasingly knows it.
My silver lining thus is not that more blacks and other official victim groups voted Republican. I do think it’s a good thing. But my silver lining is why they did it. It’s because the whole story of America as unredeemable, deplorable, loathsome and structurally oppressive is just wrong. And I welcome the growing recognition of it because I welcome the thing being recognized.
What becomes of American partisan politics going forward? I don’t know. I don’t know whether Biden can heal, Trump will finally go away, the old bipartisan consensus on unaffordable spending will continue, America will fall as Rome fell. In any case I want good government not partisan victory, and know that those who put their faith in politics generally face disillusionment in short order. But it’s not the point.
The point is that America’s original sin really does seem to have been healed. Its lingering effects have not, and will not easily be erased. But the millions who voted for Trump, even those currently suffering a mental breakdown at his defeat, are not racists. Especially not those who are themselves not white and are not ashamed to be seen with those who are.
So there’s some very good news amid the wreckage and anxiety. COLUMN BY

U.S.—Very legitimate President-elect Joe Biden assured all Americans in his victory speech last Saturday night that the elections held nationwide were “mostly legitimate.” His comments come as a rebuke to those who were saying totally baseless things about voter fraud, illegal ballots being counted, and poll workers counting ballots in a boarded-up building with no oversight.
“It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, to lower the temperature, to see each other, to listen to each other again,” Biden said. “Well, everyone who accepts this totally legit election—I mean, c’mon man. Everything was by the book.”
All election experts and hosts from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NPR, and the AP immediately backed up every point of Joe Biden’s speech condemning the few scattered millions of people who still had some lingering doubts.
“You want to know how I know those stories about tabulation software glitches and dead people voting are part of a disinformation campaign?” asked CNN’s Brian Stelter on his program. “Facebook and Twitter are censoring them. That’s how you know what’s real and what’s not.”
“Just listen to the election experts and people censoring other points of view like me,” he added.
At publishing time, rumors about the Trump campaign filing several lawsuits disputing the election results were being censored by social media companies.

“We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.” – President John F. Kennedy (shocking isn’t it that this was a Democrat from 1960) “Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels – men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower “We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness.” – Archbishop Carlo Vigano November 4, 2020 “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this – who will count the votes and how.” – Joseph Stalin
Stop with the fear, the worry, and the anger because God has a plan. Trump knew, he’s got a plan, wait and see. And if Trump is still illegally ousted, God’s plan is perfect… so chuck your pain, your anxiety, your dread…the Lord Almighty is always in control. Meanwhile pray! And write your legislators about vote fraud!
Remember Mad Magazine? What? Me Worry? What is the worst thing that can happen to us? We die. And if we die, we go home to the Lord and see our family and friends, so stick the worry in a box and close and lock it. God has our future and all of His kids in His Hands. Rest in the Lord. Meanwhile…get to work!
President Trump has fought hard for America and her people; it’s time for us to scream bloody murder for him. Where the hell is the Durham report that has been put off since summer and was promised after the election? Where is that stinking report? Does it even exist or is it going to be buried? It’s after the election, so where the hell is it?
We need a call to arms of all deplorables. It’s time to rise up for our President. Let our voices be heard loud and strong. And where the hell is the investigation into Hunter and Joe Biden and their pay to play games? What is being done with those rotten filthy loaded computers? Is the FBI burying them too?
Deplorables, it’s time to fight…put on the full armor of God and get with it! The game is on!
Subversion and Electoral Fraud
A courageous priest spoke the truth about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Fr. Edward Meeks said the Democratic Party is the party of death and a vote for Biden is stepping off the cliff into the abyss. That abyss is the destruction of the greatest nation in the world via communism. And Archbishop Vigano has penned another letter about the “reset” and how election reality is denied, but truth shall prevail.
Yes, the devil and his minions have been busy for the last four years setting up a system across the country in democrat held states to steal an election and eliminate the valid votes for Donald J. Trump.
Remember hearing that Willie Brown told Kalamity Harris not to run for VP? Perhaps she disregarded his warnings because she knew the fix was in and had been planned since 2016. We rarely saw her campaigning and if we did, zero crowds.
Choosing mail-in voting for those who fell for the fear mongering of Covid-19, was truly the death knell of liberty. Massive amounts of dead people voting, people who are no longer even in the state, signatures with no record, back-dated envelopes, ballots found dumped hither and yon. Postal workers can use their own vehicles to transport mail, even those with Biden stickers on their bumpers.
Mail-in ballots guaranteed chaos. The enemies of freedom utilized the pandemic to create this nightmare and deprive Donald Trump of his victory. And I believe Fauci was involved.
Eric Holder and his fellow comrades have been busy throughout the country for four years. Remember in 2018 when Republicans in California went to bed believing they had their elections locked up only to lose in ensuing weeks of vote counting?! Check out what happened to Young Kim and Mimi Walters! They had strong leads and then lost to democrats. The democrats in Sacramento passed laws aimed at greasing their voting machine. That project started in 2015 with automatic voter registration, following Oregon…another bastion of communist democrat control.
Then in 2016, California passed the Voter’s Choice Act which allowed counties to mail every voter a ballot…sound familiar? Used to be they had to request it, now it comes automatically…totally against the original intention of the founders of this country and how we would cast our votes. Ahh yes, ballot harvesting, that’s the game.
Subversion is the undermining of the power and authority of an established system or institution…the ruthless subversion of our representative Republic. A plutocracy is a government or society who rules by their wealth. Check out the salaries of those in Congress who start out as middle-class Americans and end up as multi-millionaires. It’s an atrocity not intended by our founders and is why so many remain for decades in Congress.
P.J. Media’s David Solway writes the truth when he says, “Everyone knows that Donald Trump has won the 2020 election. Everyone knows that electoral tampering has been massive and ubiquitous, and that a fair vote would have borne landslide numbers for the president. Everyone knows that ballot harvesting, mail-in voting, and extended vote tallying for an indefinite period after the polls close, when new ballots are miraculously found and illegible or absent postmarks are ignored, is the broad, well-trodden path to electoral fraud. And everyone knows that the fix was in from the start.”
The plot to eliminate the greatest president in over a century was started November 8th, 2016. And Solway is right, the swamp is deep and wide and the entire mainstream media is part of it, and is characterized by endemic duplicity and suppression of countervailing truths, lying and censorship. They’ve slandered and libeled this president from day one and yet he stood tall and continuously worked for the American people and our country.
Joe Biden and Kalamity Harris are threatening to eviscerate the principles of federalism and the Bill of Rights with special emphasis on getting the Second Amendment.
How many times have we heard “no one is above the law” about our President? Well, neither are any of these commie sell-outs!
This election may end up in the Supreme Court just as the Bush/Gore 2000 Florida hanging-chad debacle did. Three of the attorneys who worked for George W. Bush are now on the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Roberts, Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
Hammer and Scorecard
Mary Fanning and Alan Jones reported that in February 2009, the Obama administration commandeered and used a powerful supercomputer known as the Hammer. The Hammer is Brennan and Clapper’s secret surveillance system and I wrote about it in November of 2019. Fanning and Jones write that the Hammer utilizes an exploit application known as Scorecard. Hammer’s designer, former CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, says Scorecard is capable of hacking into elections and stealing the vote. In late 2015, Montgomery revealed that Scorecard was used by Obama on Florida election computers to win the 2012 election.
Fanning and Jones write that Scorecard has been activated once again; this time to steal the election for Joe Biden in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and Arizona.
The research in TheAmericanReport.org by Fanning and Jones has always been impeccable. And I’m not the only one saying this. Attorney Sidney Powell and Lt. General Thomas McInerny have exposed what Fanning and Jones have reported on Steve Bannon’s program. Powell says, “And the likelihood that three percent of the vote total was changed in the pre-election ballot voting that were collected digitally by using the Hammer program and the software program called Scorecard would have amounted to a massive change in the vote that would have gone across the country and explained a lot of what we’re seeing.”
“In addition, an algorithm was run to calculate votes they might need to come up with for Biden in specific areas. That explains what happened in Michigan where a computer glitch resulted in the change of votes of about 5,500 for Trump in just one of 47 districts. All those districts need to be checked for that same “software glitch” that would change the result in Michigan dramatically. The same thing is happening in other states. We’ve had hundreds of thousands of ballots mysteriously appear solely for Mr. Biden which is statistically impossible as a matter of mathematics. It can all be documented; we are putting it into materials that we will file in federal court and no down-ballot selections made.”
Powell suggests that this number of single vote ballots is suspect, and indicative in part of “abject fraud” that she says flipped the election to Biden. Powell claims her team has found 450,000 fraudulent ballots for Biden only and they are set to file new lawsuits. Powell said, “We have got to fight tooth and nail in federal court to expose this abject fraud and the conspiracy behind it, and get a recount and audits in every place its’ needed, which is frankly most of the country.” “Hammer” and “Scorecard” are a pair of programs initially designed for the CIA before being privatized by Deep State players from the Obama administration. The CIA is not allowed to operate in the USA, so presumably they were privatized to allow them to be used in the US.
Dominion Software
The election software system in Michigan that switched 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden is called Dominion. It is used in 33 states including Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania, every single major swing state. Every single one!
Dominion Voting Systems, which commands more than a third of the voting-machine market without having Washington lobbyists, has hired its first, a high-powered firm, Brownstein Farber Hyatt and Schreck, that includes a longtime aide to Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Nadeam Elshami, Pelosi’s former chief of staff, is one of the lobbyists on the account.
Democrat Diane Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum has a major stake in Dominion, he owns 60 percent of the software company used to steal Trump votes in swing states.
Chairman of the Board of Smartmatic’s (Dominion Voting Systems) manufactured voting machines used in Michigan, Georgia and 33 U.S. states is Mark Malloch Brown, and he serves on the Open Societies Foundation Board (founded by George Soros, Malloch Brown’s ties to Soros are strong and many.)
We also know that Dominion has ties to the Clinton Foundation. The philanthropy group that worked with Dominion from 2014 – 2017 to provide “access to Voting Technology” for “emerging democracies” was The Clinton Foundation. This voting technology may now be the largest automated system to steal an election in U.S. history.
Coup Underway
James O’Keefe of Project Veritas has exposed Pennsylvania, Nevada and Michigan voter fraud. A Pennsylvania-based USPS Richard Hopkins came forward and agreed to testify. He told that late ballots were back-dated for November 3rd, and other postal workers know this as well. Link, Link
John Solomon of Just the News reports backdating of ballots were also ordered in Detroit. A city worker stepped forward and claimed election workers were asked to backdate ballots that had come in after the election deadline had passed.
At the Canadian border a USPS worker was arrested with 800 pieces of mail, including absentee ballots.
An attorney filmed ballot boxes arriving at a counting center in Detroit, Michigan at 5 a.m., eight hours after closing. The truck was not from the postal service and whoever lowered the polls did not have identification or the proper uniform. People were bringing ballots in coolers. They were supposed to have stopped counting.
In Clark County, Nevada a whistleblower exposed intentional criminal conduct.
In Maricopa County, Arizona Sharpie markers and felt tip pens were handed out for voting and every vote was discarded. The Arizona Attorney General is investigating.
Pam Bondi and Corey Lewandowski are fighting the fraud in Pennsylvania regarding the court’s refusal to grant access to voting process.
There are thousands of reports of vote fraud especially in the swing states.
Fox News
Fox News has made it clear that it is no longer fair and balanced. Lachlan Murdoch now runs the show with help from board member, Paul Ryan. Their Decision Desk Director, Arnon Mishkin, a registered democrat, called Arizona prematurely for Biden and potentially suppressed Trump votes in Nevada. He previously voted for Hillary.
We saw Judge Jeanine’s show cancelled last Saturday for supporting President Trump’s battle against the election corruption, and we watched as so many guests were removed for saying anything negative about George Soros.
There are new and rising networks available. Newsmax and One America News Network are truly conservative. Most cable networks carry them, as well as ROKU.
“The core principle here is not complicated: in the United States of America, all legal ballots must be counted, any illegal ballots must not be counted.” -@senatemajldr pic.twitter.com/nCKGBMkPw3
“The ‘journalists’ of the news media have begun the relentless drumbeat of proclaiming ‘President-elect Biden.’ This is make-believe.” – Writer Chris Farrell
Shortly before the November 3rd election for President of the United States, the proprietors of storefronts, buildings, restaurants, dealerships, and businesses of all types across our entire vast country boarded up their facades in anticipation of widespread rioting, arson, looting, massive destruction and violent assaults by Republicans if Joe Biden won the contest.
Just kidding. In fact, these measures were taken to avoid the by-now familiar acting-out violence that Democrats and the thugs they support in Black Lives Matter and Antifa have been demonstrating for the world to witness for the past six months—in at least 15 once-peaceful Democrat-run cities—when they object to this or that policy, statue, police department, et al.
STILL UNKNOWN
It goes without saying that those proprietors—who spent multi-thousands of dollars to protect the businesses that support their families, and that help them pay taxes to our government, boarded up their properties knowing that if President Trump won reelection, they would be the merciless targets of the bought-and-paid-for Democrat anarchists who unfortunately symbolize today’s Ugly Americans.
Interestingly, several days after the election and in eager anticipation of the Biden-Kalamity [premature and erroneous] announcement of their victory, a large crowd of Tolerant Democrats rallied outside the White House, as always spewing vulgarities and displaying placards expressing nastiness and filth. Who can draw a conclusion other than the Democrats are both sore losers and sore winners?
We have still to learn the outcome of the election, thanks to the new and unprecedented Covid-dictated “rules” about mail-in ballots, late voting, delayed returns, strange rulings by Democrat-appointed judges, and chilling reports of such rampant voter fraud by Democrats that it defies what any American—living or dead—has ever seen.
Why? Because the Never-Trumpers and, again, the bought-and-paid for corrupt media, were beyond desperate, having failed thunderously for the previous four years to take the president down and to bring about the coup d’état they have dreamed about since 2016.
What to do? Why, rig the election, of course!
Below is just a tiny sampling of the massive voting irregularities and fraud that were discovered both before and after Joe Biden and Kalamity Harris declared victory through their media lackeys, in clear defiance of the U.S. Constitution and 243-years of American tradition:
On Election night at approximately 4 a.m., 138,000 ballots were “instantaneously” counted in Wisconsin and, magically, every single ballot was for Joe Biden (Mmmm).
The next day, Rudy Giuliani, in Philly, PA, spelled out massive fraud re mail-in ballots that Republican observers were illegally stopped from overseeing the vote—the same illegalities happening in Arizona, Detroit, Nevada, and Milwaukee.
In Michigan, a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower reported that his superiors told him to backdate late mail-in ballots so they would be accepted. They also recorded the vote of a man born in 1850 and another who died in 1984.
Also in Michigan a software error (Mmmm) switched 6,000 Republican votes to Democrat. The same software is used in 47 Michigan counties!
A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleged there were at least 21,000 dead people on PA’s voter rolls. As of October 2020, at least 9,212 registrants had been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants dead for at least 10 years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years.”
In a county in Georgia, poll watchers took ballots home with them. https://mynewscorp.com/updated-military-ballots-found-in-the-trash-in-pennsylvania-most-were-trump-votes/
In VA, Trump held roughly a 300,000-vote lead, but then—again, magically—a huge trove of approximately 400,000 votes came in for Joe Biden—but not one for Donald Trump. “Amazing, writes blogger Fred Miller, “how one can suddenly discover huge batches of votes 100% for Biden, 0% for Trump, when and wherever one chances to need them.”
Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney explained that a pair of computer software programs—Hammer and Scorecard—initially designed for the CIA before being privatized by Deep State players from the Obama administration, were used to change votes from Trump to Biden in multiple voting locations…possibly in all the swing states. Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons, on his death bed (in Nov. 2019), reportedly told his longtime friend McInerney: “The Hammer is key to the coup.”
Another computer system, Dominion, although known to be defective, was used in 30 states, including every swing state. And whaddaya know? Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband are both shareholders in Dominion!
Author Michael Charles Master reported (read the entire riveting article) that at midnight, “Trump led in all the battleground states by large margins…but for some unexplainable reason, WI, MI, PA, NC and NV all stopped counting votes simultaneously… and none of those states counted any additional votes for the next three hours….and NOT ONE TV commentator—including on now-leftist Fox—asked why! Master pointed out that all five of those states have Democrat governors. Mmmm.
But don’t take my word for it. Here, in his own words, is Hunter Biden’s father boasting of having participated in developing “the most extensive voter fraud organization in history.”
THE ONION
An onion, as everyone knows, has many many layers. Just try peeling an onion to see why it is the perfect metaphor for complicated subjects that require many levels of exploration to plumb their depths and understand their meaning.
But the Trump onion phenomenon has only two layers, both of them psychological.
The first layer is jealousy, which I have always believed is the strongest human emotion, going back to the Bible. Stronger than hatred. Stronger than anger—responsible, in fact, for most criminal acts, from theft to conspiracy to violence to murder. This is the stuff of tragedy… and also, sometimes, redemption.
In our metaphorical onion, the human emotion that competes most ferociously with jealously is fear. One has only to look at the international dread of the Covid-19 virus to see the power of fear to destroy economies, isolate human beings for months on end, and inspire Democrats to defy the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law in order to try to rig the most important election of our lifetimes in their favor.

On a Monday evening that saw CNN rescind its Arizona call for Biden and Real Clear Politics deny it had called Pennsylvania for the former Vice President, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in the Middle District of Pennsylvania asking for a temporary injunction seeking to prevent the state from certifying the results of the November 3rd election. The complaint offered the public its first opportunity to view the quality and magnitude of the allegations against Pennsylvania’s elections boards.
The complaint, obtained by thefederalistpages.com and linked on its website, describes a process so chaotic and corrupt that the only remedy appears to be a do-over. For example, the complaint alleges that “Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties alone received and processed 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots without review by the political parties and candidates” in direct contradiction to the Pennsylvania Election Code. It goes on to point out that these “are unprecedented numbers in Pennsylvania’s elections history.”
Pennsylvania’s actions have been so brazen, the lawsuit points out, that it has essentially created a dual system of voter scrutiny offensive to the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and the Constitution’s Elector and Election Clauses. The complaint observes that while in-person voters were “required to sign voter registrations, have those signatures checked against voter rolls, vote in a polling place monitored by statutorily-authorized poll observers, and have their votes counted in a transparent and verifiable open and observed manner,” the nearly 2.65 million votes cast through a “mail-in” required nothing more than a signature for verification. Additionally, the scrutiny applied to voters differed depending on the county in which he or she voted, a process that favored urban, Democrat voters over rural Republicans.
Through witness testimony, the Trump campaign also cited scores of examples of gross violations in the manner in which the mail-in ballots were handled. For example, in a flagrant disregard of the legislature’s mandate that only votes post-dated on or prior to election day be counted, many ballots appearing in counties since the November 3 deadline have been accepted. The magnitude of the votes involved is startling. To quote the complaint:
. . . in Delaware County, the county’s Wednesday, November 4 report indicated that Delaware County reported it has received about 113,000 mail-in ballots and counted approximately 93,000 voted ballots. On the next day, November 5, the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s 4:30 report reflected that Delaware County had received about 114,000 ballots. Several hours later, the Delaware County solicitor reported to an observer that the County had received about 126,000 mail-in ballots and counted about 122,000. As of Sunday, November 8, 2020, the Department of State’s website reflects that the County has counted about 127,000 mail-in ballots. Plaintiffs have received no explanation for where the additional 14,000 voted ballots came from, when they arrived, or why they are included in the current count.
152. Also in Delaware County, an observer in the county office where mail- in ballots were counted witnessed a delivery on November 5, 2020, of v-cards or USB drives in a plastic bag with no seal and no accompanying paper ballots. The v- cards or USB drives were taken to the back counting room, where observer access was limited. There was no opportunity to observe what happened to the v-cards or USB drives in the back counting room.

Many people apparently believe this election is like any other, when it is as unprecedented as the response to this year’s flu has been. Those who get all their information from the media, aka “fake news,” will believe what they’re told: Trump is a dictator who lost the election but refuses to accept the loss! After all, the media’s been branding him as an illegitimate president all along, so this fits in with their established narrative.
Loyal, gullible Democrat voters, conditioned to regard Trump as that racist, homophobic, xenophobic “clown” in the White House, must be jubilant at the prospect of finally being rid of him—never imagining that they’ve inadvertently just voted away their future in favor of a Marxist dystopia: austerity, enslavement, and misery for themselves and their children. No one would knowingly sign on to this—unless, of course, they expected to be the rulers.
Trump vs. Biden? No Contest!
Interestingly, I’ve read that Sleepy Joe got more popular votes than any president in our history! Hmmm… that’s quite a head-scratcher. How can arguably the weakest nominee who ever ran for the presidency have managed that trick? Biden has nothing to show for his 47 years in government, unless you count his profiteering in scandalous pay-for-play schemes. In fact, this tsunami of votes for him came right on the heels of the breaking news about his drug-addled son Hunter blithely selling Daddy’s influence to Communist China, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan for millions of dollars earmarked for the Biden family—including 10% for “the big guy.” I’d say Biden was also the most corrupt person ever to run for the presidency, but I think we need to bestow that dubious honor on Trump’s last opponent, Crooked Hillary.
On the other hand, Trump, in addition to his powerful advantage as the incumbent, has also proven himself to be one of our greatest presidents. His track record would take another 6 pages to recount: all the more astounding, as he accomplished this feat with both hands tied behind his back by the Deep State. And unlike most politicians, he actually loves America and the American people; he’s fearless, genuine, compassionate, amazingly hard working, honest, smart, funny, charismatic—and truly an inspiration to millions of Americans who by now love him so much they’ve started chanting “We love you!” at his recent huge rallies.
A Trump Second Term: Justice for Coup Plotters
I’d go so far as to say that many Democrats and their assorted globalist pals don’t actually hate Trump himself. What they hate is being exposed and being thwarted, and Trump has been brilliant at doing both. They’re also fearful.These folks don’t want to wait four more years. They’ve committed treason—they’re in it up to their eyeballs. Recall that in 2016, Hillary was caught screaming at Matt Lauer for putting her on the spot in a presidential candidate forum. Afterwards, in one of her storied meltdowns, she yelled, “If that f—ing bastard wins, we all hang from nooses!” The prospect of the noose is why the Dems and Deep State have been so desperate to get Trump out. Unfortunately, all this time, POTUS has been without an attorney general who would aggressively pursue justice for these felons. And now we may have to pay a high price for the DOJ’s negligence, dereliction of duty, or, more likely, complicity. And yes, I mean Barr. No more benefit of the doubt.
For now push has truly come to shove. The Leftist cabal—including not only the Democrats, but also the international banking cartel, Soros and pals, Big Tech, the Deep State (including those embedded in the DOJ, FBI and CIA), etc., is going for broke. They would have preferred to implement their grand agenda of world domination under a Hillary presidency, since she’s one of them and would have aided, rather than impeded their plans. However, to usher in their vaunted New World Order, I believe they would have used the same Covid Pandemic ruse they inflicted on us this year—they had that playbook established at least as far back as 2011 (see the film “Contagion”).
The Dems’ Multiple Coup Attempts—Third Time Charm?
Recall that the Deep Staters concocted an “insurance policy” to get Trump out of the Oval Office as soon as he got there. That was the Russia Hoax, which dragged on for nearly two years. Then came the even more desperate Ukraine Phone Call Hoax. That one was beyond absurd, but it kept the “Orange Man Bad” narrative alive, which I believe was its intended purpose.
And now we come to the ultimate coup d-état—the classic kind—the overthrowing of the government. Now the Dems and the enormously powerful globalist/Marxist cabal behind them, are trying to overturn the election that Trump clearly won. This time, they’re seeking to oust him not by cooking up more phony scandals, but through massive election fraud. They’re playing hardball. This is nervous time for us. These are very dangerous waters.
Just as the enemies of America war-gamed the pandemic (Event 201) shortly before unleashing it on us, so too did they war-game stealing this election from President Trump. Anyone with half a brain could see Trump was going to win in a landslide, even after the globalist Left pulled the rug out from under Trump’s soaring economy with the draconian lockdowns. He was drawing unprecedented crowds at rally after rally, while Joe either hid in his basement, or emerged briefly and spoke to groups of 30 people compared to Trump’s 30,000. While Trump galvanized the crowds, speaking for an hour and a half or more, Sleepy Joe said as few words as possible, many of them garbled. He did, however, make one honest, revelatory statement: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” This has to be the most damning Freudian slip ever. The truth will out.
War-gaming Overturning the Election
While the Russia Hoax showed some ingenuity, the Plandemic is the evil geniuses’ masterpiece that continues to wreak havoc with our lives. By contrast, their election fraud is blatantly obvious and would be easy to expose and counter, were it not for the media’s collusion. Tens of thousands of ballots mysteriously appearing at 4am, nearly all for Biden, overtaking Trump’s dramatic lead in multiple swing states? C’mon, man! Yet this outrageous plan could conceivably work here, as variants of it have worked abroad. More on that below.
The globalist elites’ war-gaming for this coup was conducted by the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), including strategies for removing Trump if he won the election, and replacing him with Biden. Huh? Why would you war-game a coup d’état against your own President if he’d just won the election? Three guesses. According to Roger Stone, the brains behind this treasonous plan is Norm Eisen—the Dem operative who also orchestrated the Ukraine phone call impeachment of the President.
A Snake in the Grass: Norm Eisen
Worse yet, Eisen is apparently the mastermind behind many of the so-called “color revolutions,” largely funded by Soros, that have successfully effected regime changes in a number of Eastern European and Middle Eastern countries, by toppling legitimate heads of state through nefarious subterfuge. In fact, Eisen is a key author of the blueprint for overthrowing regimes: “The Democracy Playbook: Preventing and Reversing Democratic Backsliding.” How’s that for an Orwellian title? Alarmingly, Eisen and his pals are now bringing their diabolical strategy to our own election and our own President.
It’s actually a pretty simple blueprint. To pull off a regime change, you need control of the media—which the Dems have in America— boatloads of money (think Soros, etc.)—and hired thugs who’ll riot in the streets when you give the signal. You spread rumors that the election was fraudulent and/or you mess with the votes to serve your purpose. You mobilize your shock troops of lowlifes to stage protests, carrying placards calling for the ouster of the leader you want to overthrow. You trigger violence and mayhem. The press blares out your narrative on cue: the people are demanding that so-and-so step down! And presto—you send the legitimate leader packing and install your guy in his place.
On November 6, 2020 at 7:17am Cuban opposition leader Berta Soler, currently in Cuba shared the following in Spanish over Facebook: “I am Cuban and I have never had the opportunity to go to the polls to vote for my president. If I could vote in the US I would do it for Trump, but whatever happens in the United States elections I support Donald Trump. He is a President whose policy of state against the communist regime of Cuba has been carried out by him as it should be. Trump 2020”
This black Cuban woman who has spent the last 17 years resisting a white minority dictatorship in Cuba is publicly supporting President Trump and his policy in Cuba. She did this today, when such a stance can cost her much both in Cuba and in the United States. It is important to understand her reasoning, while at the same time listening to other voices and their perspectives on the significance of Latino support for Trump in South Florida.
Tuesday’s majority vote by Cuban Americans, Nicaraguan Americans, Venezuelan Americans, and other Latinos for President Trump in Florida has been met with outrage and confusion in the media. First of all the focus has been on Cuban American voters, while ignoring (for the most part) citizens of Nicaraguan, Venezuelan, or other Latin American origin. There have also been attempts to explain this vote that disregard the agency of these voters.
For example in Vogue magazine on November 6th, Paola Ramos, argues that “Trump reopened people’s wounds. He tapped into that feeling of betrayal by falsely but very masterfully casting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the return of communism.” William Kelly, a PhD candidate in Latin American and Caribbean history at Rutgers University, makes the argument that Trump’s “brashness and a bravado” attract younger Cuban Americans, who recently arrived from Cuba, who ” admire him for espousing their breed of economic self-sufficiency, and they are familiar with his brand of politics.” Mr. Kelly spends time painting a positive picture of the Castro regime, as the “global face of the struggle against oppression.” He also mentioned that Castro “swiftly and systematically restructured every aspect of the Cuban government to bring it under his direct control,” but failed to mention the regime’s role in genocide in Ethiopia or mass televised executions in Cuba.
Ms. Ariana Hernandez-Reguant, a cultural anthropologist, writing for North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) makes a similar argument about recently arrived Cubans presenting a caricature of Cuban Americans describing how she ” can tell the Trump supporters’ houses from the Democrats’, not just because of their Blue Lives Matter, QAnon, Trump or plain U.S. flags, but because of their spectacular displays of all kinds.”
Both Hernandez and Kelly when discussing immigration and Cubans do not mention that it was the Obama Administration that on January 12, 2017 closed the door on Cuban refugees when they ended the Wet Foot Dry Foot policy and the asylum policy for trafficked Cuban doctors, two long term demands of the Castro regime. Kelly doesn’t mention Wet Foot Dry Foot, but Hernandez-Requant does, but fails to mention the Obama Administration’s role in ending it.
At The New York Times, Nikole Hannah Jones, of the 1619 Project, looked to cast the vote by Cuban Americans within the lens of race and whiteness, and identified Cubans as white as opposed to other Latino groups, such as Puerto Ricans who she identifies as black or Guatemalans that she identifies as indigenous.
The problem with Ms. Jones race based argument is that Cuban Americans and other hispanics of all racial origins in South Florida not only came out to vote for Trump, but many took to the streets to support the Republican candidate, and the images are not just “white Cubans”.
On the immigration policy front the choice between Republicans and Democrats for Cubans is a mixed bag. This raises the question what drove Cuban, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and Colombian voters into the Republican camp in 2020? The Biden campaign failed to address an unpopular policy, and doubled down on it instead.
Andres Oppenheimer’s column “Biden blew it with Miami’s Cuban, Venezuelan voters, and got clobbered” was published on Nov. 4, 2020 and he laid out a pre-existing problem the Vice President had with Cuban American voters. “Many Cuban exiles, especially older ones, still resent President Obama’s 2014 decision to restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba. Biden, then vice president, was part of that move.” … “But Biden could have overcome that by admitting that the Obama administration’s opening with Cuba has not worked as it should.” Instead for far too long in 2020 the campaign claimed that things had been better for Cubans under the Obama Cuba policy.
A partial review of what took place demonstrates why it remains unpopular.
On April 17, 2009 President Barack Obama said that his Administration sought “a new beginning with Cuba” and stated further that he was “prepared to have my administration engage with the Cuban government on a wide range of issues — from human rights, free speech, and democratic reform to drugs, migration, and economic issues.”
Towards the end of 2009 the White House was tested by Havana when U.S. citizen Alan Gross was taken and held hostage by the Castro regime. U.S. diplomats did not see him until 25 days later. Furthermore, the policy of rapprochement and loosening of sanctions continued despite Gross’s continued detention.
On January 14, 2010 the “illegal” Cuban Commission for Human Rights, reported the confirmed deaths of at least 20 mental patients at the Psychiatric Hospital known as Mazorra due to “criminal negligence by a government characterized by its general inefficiency” and a day later the Cuban government confirmed that 26 patients had died due to “prolonged low temperatures that fell to 38 degrees.” This only occurred because the images of the victims had been leaked and reported by independent journalists.
On February 23, 2010 Cuban prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo died after a prolonged hunger strike. He had been the victim of numerous beatings and ill treatment that rose to the level of torture over nearly seven years that drove him to go on a water only hunger strike. Prison guards periodically cut off his access to water, contributing to his death.
Extrajudicial killings continued at a higher documented rate than in prior years.
Cuban human rights defender Juan Wilfredo Soto García died on May 8, 2011, three days after being beaten up by police officers in a public park in Santa Clara, Cuba. Amnesty International raised concerns on the circumstances surrounding his death. Juan Wilfredo had previously been a political prisoner for 12 years.
Laura Inés Pollán Toledo, a courageous woman spoke truth to power and protested in the streets of Cuba demanding an amnesty for Cuban political prisoners. She had been a school teacher, before her husband was jailed for his independent journalism in 2003 along with more than 75 other civil society members. Laura was greatly admired both inside and outside of the island.
Laura reached out to the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters of the 75 prisoners of conscience jailed in March of 2003 among them was her husband, they founded the Ladies in White, and they carried out a sustained nonviolent campaign that after nine years obtained the freedom of their loved ones. Since she did not dissolve the Ladies in White when her husband returned home because she recognized that the laws had not changed, and that political prisoners remained behind bars and that she would continue her human rights activism, the Castro regime did away with her on October 14, 2011. Berta Soler was elected the new leader of the Ladies in White following the founder’s death.
On July 22, 2012 Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, founder and leader of the Christian Liberation Movement and Harold Cepero Escalante, member of the cited movement, lost their lives on the Las Tunas-Bayamo highway, in Cuba. Evidence that the “car accident” was a premeditated act arranged for Oswaldo Paya was that this was not the first time; the regime had also tried with another vehicle 20 days earlier while he was in Havana. The East German Stasi trained the Cuban State Security service known as “G2” and one of its standard tactics was arranging car accidents. Calls for an international investigation continue to circulate and fall on deaf ears. Their movement had launched a petition drive that obtained over 24,000 signatures demanding human rights reforms in an initiative called the Varela Project that forced the regime to change the Constitution to block this type of petition in the future.
The Obama White House and the Castro regime began having secret meetings in June 2013 in Canada. These meetings continued throughout 2013 and 2014. Reporting on these meetings do not mention any reaction to provocative actions by the Cuban dictatorship.
On July 15, 2013 the Cuban government was caught red handed smuggling tons of weapons to North Korea. This was confirmed by a March 6, 2014 report by a panel of experts for the United Nations Security Council that also reported:
6. In addition, various parts for three SA-2 and six SA-3 missiles were in the cargo, such as the nose cones housing proximity fuses, auto-pilots and transponders, transmitter antennas and some actuators (figure 4). 4 __________________ 4 The Panel notes that some of the SA-2 and SA-3 parts could also meet the criteria defined in the list of items, materials, equipment, goods and technology related to ballistic missile programmes (S/2012/947), whose export and import by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are prohibited. See in particular the Category II, Item 9 of S/2012/947 covering “instrumentation, navigation and direction finding”
There were no consequences for this action of by Havana that was also illegal under international law because the White House had prioritized the normalization of relations with Cuba, and pressed ahead with their secret negotiations.
On December 17, 2014 both President Obama and General Raul Castro announced that they intended to normalize relations. Alan Gross was finally free after nearly five years in captivity, travel would be further liberalized and that some Cuban political prisoners were to be freed was news that would be received positively.
Many Cuban Americans were outraged for a number of reasons. Three spies who had spied on military installations, congressional offices,and had plotted terrorist acts in the United States were returned to Cuba. This spy network had been implicated in the February 24, 1996 murder of three American citizens and one American resident were freed in a swap, setting a terrible precedent. Kidnapping an American and holding him for ransom for five years paid off. Moderate elements within the dictatorship, seeking to transition Cuba into a responsible member of the family of nations, would remain silent. Gerardo Hernandez, who was serving a double life sentence for espionage and murder conspiracy, returned to Cuba and is now in charge of spying on Cubans domestically through the national network of the Committees in Defense of the Revolution.
Things did not improve, and the consequences of the opening became better known.
On February 3, 2015, Rosa María Payá, in testimony before a subcommittee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, indicted the indifference of the US government and the international community:“The Cuban government wouldn’t have dared to carry out its death threats against my father if the U.S. government and the democratic world had been showing solidarity. If you turn your face, impunity rages. While you slept, the regime was conceiving their cleansing of the pro-democracy leaders to come.”
On April 8, 2015 Cuban diplomats streamed out of the Cuban Embassy in Panama attackedcivil society representatives who were laying flowers at a bust of Jose Marti in a public park nearby. Several activists were injured and at least one required surgery. During the Summit of the Americas Cuban diplomats disrupted official meetings in order to block Cuban and Venezuelan dissidents from taking part, despite being officially accredited. It was during this Summit that President Obama and General Raul Castro met in a high profile meeting.
Cuban dissident Sirley Ávila León, age 56, was gravely wounded in a machete attack on May 24, 2015 by Osmany Carrión who had been “sent by state security thugs” and that she is sure that the aggression “was politically motivated.” The attack was severe enough that she suffered deep cuts to her neck and knees, lost her left hand and nearly lost her right arm. Sirley had been a local official who had sought the reopening of a school for Cuban children, and drew the ire of the dictatorship with her persistent demands.
On May 29, 2015 the State Department removed Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, despite evidence of continued bad actions.
On Monday, July 20, 2015 at the State Department, Rosa Maria Payá Acevedo attended a press conference with Secretary of State John Kerry and Castro’s foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez. Rosa Maria had proper accreditation as a member of the press. Rear Admiral John Kirby, the State Department spokesman, took Rosa Maria aside and warned her that she would be physically removed if she asked any questions.
The United States reopened its Embassy in Havana, Cuba on August 14, 2015, but did not invite Cuban human rights defenders to the flag raising ceremony in what the media labeled a snub. The State Department argued that it was a government to government affair and that there was not enough space to accommodate the dissidents. However, the State Department did accommodate “entrepreneurs and Cuban American activists” who flew down with Kerry and his official delegation. Despite the plane load of lobbyists and businessmen CNN anchor Jake Tapper in a tweet observed that there was plenty of space to have invited Cuban dissidents.
