Two Newly-Elected Progressives Decline to Say if They’ll Back Pelosi for Speaker By Brittany Bernstein

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/two-newly-elected-progressives-decline-to-say-if-theyll-back-pelosi-for-speaker/

Representative-elect Cori Bush (D., Mo.) and Representative-elect Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), both of whom are progressives, declined to say Sunday if they will vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.

“I am going to make sure that voices of the people of St. Louis are heard and we have what we need. And so you will find out then,” Bush said in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Host Dana Bush then asked Bowman, who said, “You will find out when my vote is tallied and, again, organizing with our community to figure out what’s best.”

Bush beat out Representative William Lacy Clay Jr. in August before handily winning election in November. Bowman defeated longtime New York Representative Eliot Engel in the Democratic primary in July.

Pelosi is looking to serve her fourth two-year term as Speaker of the House, where Democrats hold a small majority after losing ten seats in the November election. Meanwhile, some Democrats will leave their posts to hold positions in the Biden administration.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has emerged as the de facto spokeswoman for House progressives, criticized her party’s leadership in an interview earlier this month for refusing to cede power to a new generation of lawmakers.

“I do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party,” Ocasio-Cortez said on The Intercept’s podcast Intercepted. However, there aren’t any alternative candidates for House leadership positions because the party didn’t invest in “real grooming of a next generation of leadership.”

Judge, Who Is Stacey Abrams’ Sister, Orders Georgia Counties To Keep Voter Rolls Dirty Daniel Greenfield

Stealing an election the old fashioned way. The classics never go out of style

“A federal judge in Georgia on Monday ordered two counties to reverse a decision removing more than 4,000 voters from the rolls ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate.

The judge, Leslie Abrams Gardner — the sister of former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a prominent ally of President-elect Joe Biden who has led voter registration efforts across the state — concluded that the counties appeared to have improperly relied on unverified change-of-address data to invalidate registrations in the two counties.”

I like the use of ‘concluded’ to pretend that there was some sort of process here, as if Judge Stacey’s Sister had to think long and hard about whether she would allow the election to proceed free of interference… or help her sister take over the state.

“Gardner, an appointee of President Barack Obama, noted the recusal request in her ruling granting the restraining order and said she is declining to step aside.

“The Court has reviewed the motion and finds no basis for recusal. An Order detailing the Court’s reasoning is forthcoming,” the judge wrote.”

The fox has reviewed the request that it stop guarding the henhouse and eating all the chickens and finds no basis for the request.

Person of the Year – The Disenfranchised American Voter The elites can steal an election. But they can’t steal a movement. Daniel Greenfield

When the Constitution formed this nation, we were a country of around 4 million. But in 2020 at least 74 million Americans have had their votes tossed in the trash along with the Constitution.

More Americans had their votes discarded, stolen, nullified, corrupted, and obstructed in this election than existed in the entire United States when it fought for its independence from monarchy and tyranny, when it brought into being a “more perfect union”, when it expanded westward, and when brother against brother fought in a civil war to preserve that union.

There were more Americans who voted for President Trump than were living in the United States in 1890. The entire nation, as it was in 1890, had its vote usurped by a corrupt oligarchy.

While the battles go on across cable news and social media, these are the forgotten men.

They were the forgotten men and women who rallied to Reagan and to Trump, falling behind in a nation whose elites can’t wait to leave 1787 and 1890, along with old mill towns, steel plants that made a nation’s skyscrapers, rusting factories that once supplied her people, port cities on whose ships cargoes once flowed to the world that are now filled with Made in China junk ships.

They are the coal miners who were told to learn to code, managers dragged into unconscious bias training before being fired anyway, carpenters sidelined by illegal aliens, police officers beaten by grad students chanting Black Lives Matter, IT men whose jobs were offshored, women who were called ‘Karens’ for calling 911 after being attacked in a mall parking lot.

Mathematician on PA Election: ‘State Actor Was Able to Optimize Desired Outcome’ Bombs away! John Salvatore

https://flagandcross.com/mathematician-on-pa-election-state-actor-was-able-to-optimize-desired-outcome/

We all knew that Democrats were going to attempt something monumental to kick President Trump out of office. After all, the Russia hoax failed impressively – so did impeachment.

The only logical next step was to rig a national election in their nominee’s favor, knowing nobody on their side could defeat a historically popular president (in Republican circles).

The sad part is how many people in America today are okay with election fraud, so long as it means Trump is gone. Why don’t they see the dangers of this slippery slope?

Mathematician Bobby Piton testified during Arizona’s election fraud hearing, not too long ago. He was immediately suspended from Twitter for not being a radical leftist On Sunday, Piton dropped some bombs about Pennsylvania – and more.

Louie Gohmert Lawsuit Seeks to Give Mike Pence Power to Overturn Electoral College Vote

https://pjmedia.com/election/tyler-o-neil/2020/12/28/louie-gohmert-lawsuit-seeks-to-give-mike-pence-power-to-overturn-electoral-college-vote-n1289433

On Sunday, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) led a group of Republicans in suing Vice President Mike Pence in order to empower Pence to overturn the Electoral College vote in favor of Joe Biden and give President Donald Trump a second term. Gohmert’s lawsuit asks the court to strike down the 1887 Electoral Count Act as unconstitutional, enabling Pence to select which slate of electors he will count from each state. Some Republicans in contested swing states have formed their own slates of electors and claimed to cast Electoral College votes for Trump.

On January 6, 2021, Pence will meet before Congress to count the Electoral College votes and finalize Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. While there are serious concerns about fraud and irregularities in the presidential election, team Trump’s lawsuits have failed to overturn the results and it seems unlikely that further efforts will conclusively prove that Trump won more legitimate votes than Biden in key swing states.

The lawsuit seeks to empower Pence to effectively overturn the election results by selecting alternate slates of electors and counting their votes instead of the votes cast by the state’s official electors based on the states’ certified election results.

In order to enable this switch, the lawsuit claims that the    1887 Electoral Count Act — which made the vice president’s role largely ceremonial — violates the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution (ratified in 1804). The amendment merely states that “The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted.”

Wisconsin Lawmakers Join Lawsuit to Block Certification of Presidential Electors By Tom Ozimek

Two Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin have joined a federal lawsuit that seeks to block the counting of Electoral College votes from several contested states when Congress meets in a joint session on Jan. 6.
Wisconsin state Reps. Jeff Mursau and David Steffen signed onto a suit filed on Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society and the Wisconsin Voters Alliance, among others. Also included in the list of plaintiffs are two GOP members of the Michigan House, Reps. Matt Maddock and Daire Rendon, according to the complaint.

Attorney Erick Kaardal of the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society argued in the complaint that the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona were prevented from exercising their power under the U.S. Constitution to certify the presidential electors’ votes cast on Dec. 14.

“State legislative post-election certifications of Presidential votes and of Presidential electors are part of constitutionally-protected voting rights,” Kaardal wrote. “Everyone who votes—distinguishable from those who don’t—have a constitutionally-protected interest in state legislative post-election certification of Presidential electors. The Defendants violate those voting rights by counting ballots of Presidential electors without the constitutionally-required state legislative post-election certification.”

Here’s What New York Democrat Party Boss Thinks of an AOC Primary Challenge Against Chuck Schumer

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronsonstocking/2020/12/26/new-york-democratic-party-boss-had-this-to-say-to-aoc-about-primarying-chuck-schumer-n2582152

Jay Jacobs, chairman of the New York State Democratic Committee, made it clear where he stands when it comes to rumors of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) preparing a primary challenge against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). 

“I think it would be a primary driven by ambition more than by need,” Jacobs told the New York Post.

Rumors have circulated for months that AOC will attempt to unseat Sen. Schumer in 2022, but Jacobs told The Post that such a primary challenge between Ocasio-Cortez and Schumer would be a loss in more ways than one. 

“Chuck Schumer has been a progressive force in the state for decades,” said the Democratic chairman. “She has a constituency that admires her and supports her, and they’re in her community, and I think it would be a loss for them if she were to do that.”

And Ocasio-Cortez would “absolutely” lose her challenge against Schumer, warned Jacobs, while admitting that he has never met the young lawmaker. 

“We’ve never met. I would look forward to doing that,” Jacobs added. “I am open to that at any time.”

In an interview earlier this year, AOC said she was focused on winning her re-election this past November but then setting her sights on higher office. 

The intimidation of Mellissa Carone By John Dietrich

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/the_intimidation_of_mellissa_carone.html

Dominion Voting Systems is presently going on attack.  Attorneys Thomas Clare and Megan Meier, representing Dominion, sent letters to President Donald Trump’s supporters demanding that the cease making false and “defamatory” claims about the company’s role in voter fraud.  Their letter to Mellissa Carone, dated 22 December 2020, has been posted on the internet.  The letter reveals that Dominion may not be competently represented.  The attorneys claim that Carone was Giuliani’s “star witness” who made outlandish accusations “without a shred of corroborating evidence.” Who designated Mellissa Carone a “star witness”?  Giuliani had several witnesses.

The attorneys claim that Carone was “hired through a staffing agency for one day to clean glass on machines and complete other menial tasks.”  She was simply a cleaning lady.  John Poulos, Dominion CEO, testified that her role was “really limited to a type one type of technician who provides — she would have been told how to clean the glass read heads or at least she should have been.”  Poulos concedes that Carone was a “technician” but still minimized her role.  Wikibious describes her as a “contracted IT worker who was responsible for fixing malfunctioning vote-counting machines at Michigan’s TCF Center.”

Carone is warned of possible litigation.  “Litigation regarding these issues is imminent.”  They present her with a list of demands that would require a full-time staff to meet.  She has to “preserve all documents relating to such claims,” including “any and all communications she may have had with Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, Jenna Ellis, Rudy Giuliani and any other member of the Trump campaign.” They also demanded “preservation of records for every person who has compensated her—or any entity related to her—for making public statements about Dominion.”  

The demand for various documents is nearly 400 words long.  They then inform her that, “The laws and rules prohibiting destruction of evidence apply to electronically stored information in the same manner that they apply to other evidence.”  The laws are spelled out clearly in 18 U.S. Code§ 1519.  The only problem is that this statute deals with Federal litigation.  Clare and Meier have not even begun their court case.  Perhaps they believe Carone will not be advised by several attorneys that they have no authority.  They are simply trying to intimidate her.

A Supreme Court in Hiding is Dangerous for Our Country By Jerome Michaels

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/a_supreme_court_in_hiding_is_dangerous_for_our_country.html

In accordance with Art VI of the Constitution, every sitting Supreme Court justice has taken an oath swearing that he or she will “support this Constitution.” The Constitution the justices have sworn to protect is predicated upon free and fair elections so that the government reflects the will of the People. When the justices refuse to protect election integrity, they are violating their sworn oath and putting our constitutional republic at grave risk.

I recently wrote a suggested Supreme Court opinion. It said the Court must decide “credible and significant” claims of election wrongdoing on their merits before elected officials are sworn in—-except for the President, where the Constitution provides a fallback political method of election. My article suggested what the Supreme Court should do. This article discusses their inaction and warns of the consequences if the justices continue to run and hide.

Americans paying attention to the 2020 Election must be baffled by our courts. A thousand sworn statements about election wrongdoing, bizarre 4 a.m. “vote spikes” for one candidate, hundreds of thousands of ballots driven from one state to the another, counting machines with 68% error rates, etc., etc. Such claims should at least get a day in court.

Yet so far, they can’t get a sniff. With few exceptions, no state or federal court in our country has had the courage to look at the merits of these claims. The most significant challenge to our Constitutional Republic since the first Civil War can’t get a parking ticket.

The Pennsylvania Supremes liked “laches” or simply put, “you waited too long.” The claim asserted was simple—- the Pennsylvania Constitution does not authorize mail-in voting so the legislature can’t do it. (One brave judge said “good point” and was promptly swept away by her betters). The Pennsylvania Supremes said you had to sue before the election. Of course, if you had, they would have said “go away you haven’t been injured.” Welcome to the legal Land of Oz.

What Denying Election Fraud Accomplishes By Mark Andrew Dwyer

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/what_denying_election_fraud_accomplishes.html

There were voluminous reports, from eyewitnesses and experts, of widespread election fraud in the so-called battle states and beyond.  Specific allegations were made, and evidence of election rules violations and statistical anomalies were collected.  Yet the courts refused to listen to virtually all witnesses and experts, rejected most of the evidence, and refused to subpoena more evidence requested by the plaintiffs.  Many state government officials and some top representatives of companies supplying voting machines and software categorically denied any election fraud.

So, on the one hand, there is plenty of evidence strongly suggesting that the widely observed election fraud took place during the 2020 presidential elections.  On the other hand, all we have are assurances of the election fraud–deniers that there was no election fraud, which were later changed to admissions that although election fraud did take place, it wasn’t large enough to sway the results.  No verifiable facts that would clearly invalidate the specific election fraud allegations were presented to the public as of time of this writing, while quite a lot of obstruction of investigations, like denials to subject the vote-counting software and hardware to examination by independent experts, took place.  Some of this obstruction had all appearances of a cover-up.

I must say that anyone who, knowing the above, claims that Joe Biden has received required majorities of legitimate votes to become a duly elected president is either stupid or willing to cover up the truth about the rigged elections that we have allowed to continue in America.

I am not going to analyze the stupid.  However, I would like to look into possible reasons why an intelligent observer would opt for cover-up of election fraud if it did take place.
