Trump as a One-Term President Would Become DC’s Nightmare By J.B. Shurk

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/trump_as_a_oneterm_presid

Even as the president’s legal team continues to dispute election results in battleground states with large numbers of questionable mail-in ballots and election anomalies, Establishment Washington is pushing Donald Trump out the door. What it failed to accomplish through four years of Deep State sabotage and bipartisan efforts at thwarting the MAGA agenda, the D.C. Club may have finally succeeded through good old-fashioned vote fraud. The District of Corruption is salivating over the possibility of freeing itself from a foe who has singlehandedly damaged the Swamp forever.

No victory could be more pyrrhic.

Forcing Donald Trump from the presidency while half of all likely voters believe the election was stolen from him (including a stunning one-third of Democrats) would backfire on Washington spectacularly. Trump is too ferocious a competitor and too powerful a cultural force to ever disappear into a retirement not of his choosing. At least 75 million Americans voted for the president because, among other reasons, he is seen as an “outsider.” Now Washington insists on making him a martyr, as well.

What will happen if President Trump leaves office in January? He will instantly become the most consequential and powerful ex-president Americans have seen. Making Donald Trump a one-term president will become Establishment Washington’s biggest nightmare.

The man who said the election was the most secure ever didn’t know about a massive government hack by foreign actors? By Jack Hellner

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/the_man_who_said_the_election

Let me get this straight:

The media and other Democrats absolutely believe the now-fired Christopher Krebs, who had been the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, when he said the U.S. election was the most secure ever.

Yet, somehow, Russia or someone was hacking computers at many government agencies, under Kreb’s watchful eyes, for months, and yet he either didn’t know or did nothing to stop it.  

It doesn’t appear that Mr. Krebs or his agency did an analysis of the Dominion Voting Systems machines to find out whether they had capacity to flip votes, so why does anyone believe him when he says the election was the most secure ever?  

Does anyone believe that the Russians or other hackers have the ability to break into computers throughout government, but didn’t want to do it on voting machines?

Why isn’t it in the news that a forensic audit of voting machines in Michigan showed a 68% error rate, forcing ‘bulk adjudication of ballots’ by officials, which must be done by hand? Does anyone think that only that county had that problem?

The clear reason that so few supposed news outlets report about the clear evidence of fraud is because they just repeat the talking points that there was no fraud. They like judges who refuse to hear the evidence and just rule by fiat. 

With U.S. Senate Runoffs Near, Georgia’s Not Prosecuting Its Unprecedented Number of Double Voters By Paul Sperry

More than 1,700 Georgians illegally cast two ballots in 2020 — including the presidential race — but their fraudulent votes weren’t canceled out.

Note: The full-length version of the following article was published Nov. 13 by RealClearInvestigations.

More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections – including last month’s presidential race – but their fraudulent votes weren’t canceled out, according to state election officials. And so far, none of the cheaters have been prosecuted, raising concerns about continued fraud as Georgia prepares to vote again in twin U.S. Senate runoff elections next month.

The majority of double voters were Democrats who cast an absentee ballot either by mail or drop box and also voted in person on Election Day, officials said, which is a felony under state law.

The highest share of offenders were from Fulton County, which includes Atlanta – many of whom were allowed to cast a second ballot by poll workers, officials said.

Hundreds of workers assigned to county poll sites were recruited and trained by the Democrat-run Georgia chapter of the ACLU and by Happy Faces Personnel Group, a minority-owned temp agency run by Democrat donors, according to documents obtained by RealClearInvestigations. 

The ACLU chapter is now signing up poll workers for the Jan. 5 runoff races. And the temp agency remains under contract with the county to supply workers for that critical election, despite complaints from poll managers and poll watchers that its recruits were “poorly trained” and “highly partisan.” The Georgia runoffs will determine control of the U.S. Senate.

Though the number of suspected double-voting felons is the largest in state history, RealClearInvestigations has learned that no cases have been referred to the state attorney general for criminal investigation.

SPLC Funded Ballot Drop Boxes in Georgia, Now It’s Suing to Defend Them for the Runoff By Tyler O’Neil

https://pjmedia.com/election/tyler-o-neil/2020/12/18/splc-funded-ballot-drop-boxes-in-georgia-now-its-suing-to-defend-them-for-the-runoff-n1218235

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), most notorious for smearing conservative and Christian nonprofits as “hate groups” to raise millions and to cut its ideological opponents off from polite society, also donated money to run ballot drop boxes during the 2020 presidential race in Georgia. Those drop boxes, also funded by Mark Zuckerberg’s Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), weakened crucial ballot safeguards, opening the door for fraud. The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit to restore ballot protections but the SPLC joined a legal effort to preserve the drop boxes for the January 5 Senate runoff election.

“Drop boxes decentralize election oversight to an absurd level,” J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, warned in a statement to PJ Media. “Centralized elections with official oversight are the gold standard. SPLC should stick to smearing people and stay out of election administration litigation.”

Yet on Thursday, the SPLC joined the ACLU of Georgia in representing the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in filing an amicus curiae brief opposing the RNC effort to safeguard the election.

On December 9, the RNC and the Georgia Republican Party sued Fulton County, requesting that drop boxes only be accessible during business hours and asking county registrars to host a livestream video of the drop boxes’ surveillance videos on the internet. The SPLC’s brief urges Fulton County to allow access to the drop boxes after business hours and warns that a drop box livestream “poses a significant risk of increasing voter intimidation for the runoff elections.”

Georgia announces signature matching review for presidential election ballots Move is attempt to “instill confidence in Georgia’s voting systems”

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/georgia-announces-signature-matching-review-all-counties-over

After three recounts, Georgia certified the 2020 presidential election.

But on Thursday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced a statewide move to match signatures to their absentee ballots in all 159 counties in the state. 

The announcement comes just weeks before two Georgia Senate runoff elections on Jan. 5 will determine which party controls the Senate.

Raffensperger announced that the signature matching will be done in partnership with the University of Georgia. The study will review a random sample of signatures for mail-in ballots that were cast in the presidential election.

“We are confident that elections in Georgia are secure, reliable and effective,” Raffensperger said.

“Despite endless lawsuits and wild allegations from Washington, D.C., pundits, we have seen no actual evidence of widespread voter fraud, though we are investigating all credible reports. Nonetheless, we look forward to working with the University of Georgia on this signature match review to further instill confidence in Georgia’s voting systems,” he also said.

Earlier this week, Georgia officials announced an audit of signatures for mail-in ballots in Cobb County, a suburb of Atlanta.

Guess Who Was a Guest Preacher at Raphael Warnock’s Church in 2014? Bronson Stocking

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bronsonstocking/2020/12/17/remember-jeremiah-wright-raphael-warnock-hosted-him-in-2014-n2581787

Georgia Democrat candidate Rev. Raphael Warnock is running for Senate, but he’s also running from a pretty checkered past. Warnack has come under fire for interfering with a child abuse investigation, for his church’s decision to welcome communist dictator Fidel Castro and various other statements Warnock has made in support of Marxism and the like. 

Fox News is now reporting that Warnock hosted the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright as a guest preacher in 2014. A flyer for the event at Ebenezer Baptist Church bills Warnock as the senior pastor and Wright as a guest preacher. 

In a statement to Fox News, Sen. Loeffler’s communications director, Stephen Lawson, blasted Warnock’s decision to host the Wright. 

“Not only did Raphael Warnock praise Jeremiah Wright’s ‘God Damn America’ sermon, he thought it was so great that he invited him to Ebenezer Baptist to deliver it,” said Lawson. “Does Georgia really want a U.S. senator who thinks God should damn America?”

In a 2003 sermon, Rev. Wright railed against the United States following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. 

Ivanka, Hunter and Vanity Unfair Tim Graham

https://townhall.com/columnists/timgraham/2020/12/18/ivanka-hunter-and-vanity-unfair-n2581779

No media analyst believes Vanity Fair is a “news” magazine. It’s a glossy liberal rag. But on Dec. 16, it displayed some amazing partisan gymnastics on the offspring of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

This headline by writer Bess Levin was certainly clickbait for the haters: “Ivanka Trump Faces Off With Father to See How Many People They Can Kill With COVID-19.” We can guess no “independent fact-checkers” will get involved to insist that, in reality, the Trumps aren’t plotting to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Just a month ago, Vanity Fair ran a story by a purported ex-best friend of Ivanka Trump’s in which she claimed that Trump once asked, “Why would you tell me to read a book about f—ing poor people?”

Levin’s Ivanka screed carried a subhead reading, “The first daughter, a noted epidemiologist, doesn’t think lockdowns are ‘grounded in science.'” That’s not exactly what Ivanka tweeted in response to a video of a businessman frustrated with the lockdowns. “These blanket lockdowns are not grounded in science,” she said. “These arbitrary rules imposed by callous politicians are destroying lives. It is just wrong for small business owners to have fight so hard to keep their American dream alive.”

WHO IS VERNON JONES?

Vernon Jones is an American politician who has served as a State Representative in the Georgia House of Representatives since 2017, and previously from 1993 to 2001. A member of the Democratic Party, Jones was Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia, from 2001 to 2009. He stands alone among Democrat legislators who support Donald Trump and his efforts to thwart election fraud.

The Institutionalization of Election Fraud By Jon N. Hall

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

Many Americans, including this writer, contend that the 2020 presidential election is being stolen. About 70 percent of Republicans and even some Democrats believe that such a theft is happening. But despite considerable evidence, they cannot prove their case and put a number on the full extent of this alleged fraud.

Other Americans contend that the 2020 presidential election is not being stolen, and they, too, cannot prove their case. This second camp doesn’t deny that election fraud occurred but alleges that the margins are too great for fraud to have changed the outcome. Even respected conservatives have taken the position that Biden’s margins of victory are too great to overcome. But that seems to beg the question, because unless one can demonstrate the legitimacy of each and every ballot, one can’t really say what the margins are.

To prove what the legitimate vote count is, one would need to establish the eligibility of all the voters. Essentially, one would need to reregister all the voters. And that effort would be just the first of the several tasks that would be needed to demonstrate what the true vote count is.

If election fraud occurs cycle after cycle and is even tolerated, it can’t be said that America has a real democracy. Recently, this writer urged that the U.S. Supreme Court vacate the presidential elections in several problem states and order new elections to be conducted. This would be an unprecedented event, of course, but the glaring irregularities, anomalies, and illegalities are also without precedent. However, an editorial at National Review asserts that “the Supreme Court doesn’t have the authority to order new elections in those states.”

COVID Panic To Rule Biden’s First 100 Days The old normal looks further away than ever. By Julie Kelly

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/17/covid-panic-to-rule-bidens-first-100-days/

It will be the perfect virtual start for the most remote presidential candidate ever elected—thanks in large part to voters who also never needed to show up.

On January 20, barring some last-minute miracle that rescues Donald Trump’s presidency, Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Inauguration Day once served as a symbol of hope to subjugated people around the world; the ceremony proved that democracy works, free citizens can and should choose their national leadership, and political disagreements are settled with ballots, not bullets. Sadly, like so many once-revered American traditions, the peaceful transfer of power from one political party to the other has been desecrated, hijacked by vengeful partisans intent on keeping power at any cost.

Inauguration Day also is a long and grueling event. Festivities begin in the morning; the outgoing First Couple greets the incoming First Couple at the White House for photos and tea. Beltway aristocracy attends a noon swearing-in ceremony. The new president then delivers his first official address to the nation. Parades, signing ceremonies, and inaugural balls go on well into the night. Biden, of course, has attended every Inauguration Day this century, including twice as the vice president.

But this year will be different. Team Biden will wring every last infected droplet out of the COVID-19 panic for at least the first 100 days of a Biden Administration. Democrats and the Biden campaign shamelessly exploited the health crisis to damage President Trump, push for an unprecedented volume of absentee ballots that overwhelmingly favored the Democratic presidential nominee, and leveraged “social distancing” dogma to keep Republican poll watchers far away from mischievous Democratic canvassers in several key cities.

Why give up the political gift that keeps on giving?
