Trumpism Is On the March Whoever is inaugurated on January 20, the spirit of Trumpism, which is the spirit of America, is not vanquished. By Roger Kimball

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/12/trumpism-is-on-the-march/

I confess that I do not usually read columns by David Axelrod, the former senior advisor and campaign strategist for Barack Obama. But I chanced upon “History will scorn the cowards who fear Trump,” one of his CNN columns that was linked at RealClearPolitics, and I glanced through it. It is the usual partisan anti-Trump stuff, full of animadversions about President Trump’s “appalling attempt to undermine democracy,” etc. No surprise there. And let us acknowledge that there are plenty of columns written from the opposite end of the political spectrum that are equally partisan. 

What interested me about Axelrod’s column was not its partisan nature—that, as I say, comes with the territory—but rather the heat and direction of its rhetoric. Axelrod is a canny writer, and his column is an artfully wrought statement, not so much for its argument—Trump and his supporters are terrible for challenging the election, etc.—but for its cunning deployment of utopian virtue signaling. “History,” he says at the end, will not only scorn Trump and all his works, but it will also honor those who “showed courage and fidelity to the rule of law during this time of trial.”

“History,” you see. I would like to know what History will think myself. I sadly acknowledge that I do not know. I am not privy to her secrets. Only people like David Axelrod (and his former boss, Barack Obama) know them, or pretend they know them, just as they know that they are on the side of the angels and that Donald Trump and his crew are nasty “authoritarian” dispensers of “blatant lies” setting a “chilling precedent” by daring to challenge the 2020 presidential election. 

Some people with a macabre sense of humor will find all this funny. They will chuckle as they juxtapose Axelrod’s talk of “fidelity to the rule of law” with the erupting boils of scandal surrounding what Rudy Giuliani apostrophized as the Biden Crime Family. They will smile when they recall Barack Obama’s refusal to enforce the country’s immigration laws when the state of Arizona attempted to police its Southern border. (“The rule of law? We’re beyond all that. We’re for the rule of virtue.”) And they will be rolling in the aisles with laughter when they contrast Axelrod’s high dudgeon about Trump’s efforts to contest the election with the behavior of Hillary’s supporters in 2016. 

Why Some States Are Ripe for Election Fraud Jeff Davidson

It’s been nearly six weeks since the election and electoral votes in swing states are in flux. Texas, joined by at least 17 other states, sought to sue Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia for unconstitutional changes to 2020 election Laws. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, ruled that Texas has no standing.

Texas and fellow litigants had a legal precedent from seven weeks ago. On October 26, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a bid by a 5 to 3 margin from Wisconsin Democrats “to extend the deadline for counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.”

Apart from all the squabbles, legal wrangling, and controversy, what makes Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada conducive to election fraud and criminal activity, and less so in Florida, North Carolina, or Ohio? 

Concentrated Population Centers

Examining the population centers of the six states still in question, something unmistakable and rather remarkable emerges. 

Here are the largest populated cities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Philadelphia (1,591,800), Pittsburgh (294,860), Allentown (122,623), Erie (94,619), Reading (88,521), Scranton (77,218), Bethlehem (76,370), Lancaster (59,392), Levittown (51,726), and Harrisburg (49,301). So, in adding up the numbers, Philadelphia’s population outflanks the nine next largest cities combined. In short, the state is top-heavy and by concentrating fraudulent activities in Philadelphia, a political party could swing the state to their candidate.

THE POLITICAL “MIRACLES” OF CHANUKAH BY LARRY LEVINE *****

We are in the season of Miracles, Chanukah, the festival of lights, Festivus, and our Presidential election.  

To the amazing miracles we have all recently observed in a year bereft of many. 

Yes, 2020 will go down as a very “interesting” year, a year of miracles and coincidences. 

First, the miracles of our election, the defining event of our generation.

A few weeks after the election, a vaccine was announced from not one but at least three major pharmaceutical companies. Anthony Fauci and major media had criticized Trump for asserting that a vaccine would be ready by the election. Fauci and the Trump detractors all changed their minds when the pharmaceutical companies announced this … when the coast was clear. 

Those companies compete with the immaculate conception for birthing these vaccines without any help from operation “warp” speed from the Trump administration. 

Yes, it is a miracle. 

In a “Festivus” miracle not seen for generations, Donald Trump received ten million more votes than he did in 2016. Everyone went to sleep on Nov 3 thinking that Trump would win in a landslide but alas, millions of votes appeared late at night out of nowhere to give Joe Biden the lead strategically only in the four most crucial swing states. 

More miracles to observe:

Dead people arose only to vote for Biden and then go back to their long eternal sleep, or the next Democrat election. 

With time running out, Democrat voters could take one vote and extend them out to 8 or more by running it through the machine multiple times, it is a MIRACLE. 

There was a “flood” of epic proportions not seen since the red sea parted; the state farm arena in Georgia was closed, leaving only a few Democrats to count the absentee ballots without Republican observers until late in the evening. 

It turned out to be a toilet that overflowed.

Media’s pre-election burial of Hunter Biden story proves dereliction of duty By Joe Concha,

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/529736-medias-pre-election-burial-of-hunter-biden-story-proves-dereliction-of

There are two kinds of bias in the media. First there is the kind we regularly see from many – not all – outlets in broad daylight, which includes openly rooting for one political party while echoing rapid-response opposition research against another. And then there is the more invisible, insidious variety — the bias of omission.

If teaching a class in the latter, as it pertains to the bombshell admission that President-elect Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has been under grand jury investigation for “tax affairs” by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware, then the bias of omission absolutely has been applied in the most blatant manner. 

To be clear, omission-bias is when an outlet or publication purposely suppresses or outright ignores a newsworthy story that is carried by others. In this case, the “others” initially was an exclusive in the New York Post, which was dismissed immediately by other media outlets and by Democrats as Russian disinformation or a smear campaign by the Trump administration.

And not just dismissed, either. The story was outright banned from public discourse by social media giant Twitter, which limited its members from sharing a New York Post report on Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and China. This New York Post report wasn’t just the usual “he-said, she-said” hearsay that we once saw on a daily basis as it pertained to alleged Russian collusion and the Trump campaign. It contained actual emails from Hunter Biden’s own laptop.

Irregularities, Fraud Caused Trump to Lose Wisconsin: Election Commissioner Zachary Stieber

https://www.theepochtimes.com/irregularities-fraud-caused-trump-to-lose-wisconsi

A member of the Wisconsin election board said Friday that irregularities, fraud, and “Democrat tricks” caused President Donald Trump to lose the state after narrowly winning it four years ago.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden beat Trump in this year’s election by approximately 20,000 votes.

Bob Spindell, a Republican commissioner on the Wisconsin Elections Commission, said the vote difference stemmed from allegedly outdated voter rolls. Plaintiffs in an ongoing court case say about 130,000 voters should be removed from the rolls, asserting the commission ignored state law by adopting policies that allow voters who have moved to maintain active voter registrations at old addresses beyond 30 days.

A circuit court judge ruled for the plaintiffs early this year but the commission ignored the ruling, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court eventually overrode the lower court.

“These 130,000 were kept on the rolls for the November election, presumably sent absentee ballot applications by outside groups,” Spindell told state lawmakers during a hearing in Madison. “Hopefully it will be determined by the parties how many of these people actually voted by mail or otherwise.”

Of the 2.7 million absentee ballot applications sent out by the state, Spindell, added, tens of thousands were returned, marked saying they were sent to invalid addresses.

Attorney: Michigan Vote Flip Happened Due to Computer Program, Not Human Error By Zachary Stieber

https://www.theepochtimes.com/attorney-michigan-vote-flip-happened-due-to-computer-program-not-human-error_3615410.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-12-12-3

An attorney in a Michigan election case on Friday said that an infamous vote flip happened because of a computer program, not human error.

“Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said it happened by human error. We discovered that’s not true, that’s a lie. It didn’t happen by human error. It happened by a computer program called Dominion Voting System[s],” Matthew DePerno said on Newsmax.

DePerno is representing plaintiff William Bailey in a lawsuit against Antrim County. Bailey noted that the county initially reported Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden winning the county by more than 2,000 votes over President Donald Trump, but later changed the results to show Trump received nearly 4,000 more votes than Biden.

Officials claimed what happened was due to a human error, after initially suggesting it was in part because of a software issue.

DePerno said that through the lawsuit, his team was able to get access to the Dominion Voting Systems program. They went earlier this month and retrieved 16 thumb drives and 16 data cards, as well as the forensic image of the actual tabulation machine in the Antrim County clerk office.

“My team has been running analysis through that forensic image since Sunday,” he said.

Michigan AG and Sec. of State Block Results of Forensic Audit of 22 Dominion Machines in Antrim County By Debra Heine

Aloha, Electors! If the Supreme Court will not provide a remedy in the Texas lawsuit, what is the remedy? A law is not a law if it does not provide a remedy. By Jay Whig

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/11/aloha-electors/

The “Office of the President Elect” is on a collision course with the Hunter Biden corruption scandal. The media turned off the radars when the New York Post broke the news that Hunter Biden had an addiction, prostitution, tax, bribery, and corruption issue that went all the way up to the “Big Guy.” Now with screws turning full ahead, the Office of the President Elect is headed straight for the rocks.

Biden’s inaugural address, if it happens, will be a valedictory speech. The Supreme Court on Friday made it likely that it will happen. But maybe it won’t happen. The media will bury the idea, like it buries everything that contradicts its narratives. But let’s explore a little.

“Aloha, motherfuckers!”

Former Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young, never short on colorful speech, chose this salutation for Detroit media in a press conference televised from Hawaii. Young, like Trump, had a healthy contempt for the media. He knew them to be an enemy of the people, and he said so, to their faces. 

Too many Republicans lack the fortitude necessary to tell the media and the Left to shove off. It is an unfortunate fact that a defining feature of folks like Senators Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), and the 70 Republican members of the House who declined to sign on to an amicus brief in support of Texas, is fear. They fear parting with norms that the Left respects only when it suits the Left’s purposes, which are—pay attention now—winning, winning, and winning. In their fearso doing, these Republicans set conditions to the contest which perpetually foreordain their own defeat.

How NBC News Helped the Biden Campaign Ruin an Innocent Man and Bury the Hunter Laptop Story By Jeff Reynolds

https://pjmedia.com/election/jeff-reynolds/2020/12/12/how-nbc-news-helped-the-biden-campaign-ruin-an-innocent-man-and-bury-the-hunter-laptop-story-n1206496

Hunter Biden was the October Surprise that wasn’t. A report so explosive, so potentially damaging, so dangerous for national security that it should have destroyed Joe Biden’s bid for the White House. In any other election, fleets of investigative reporters would have been unleashed to verify the claims in the report. Instead, in the ultimate expression of Trump Derangement Syndrome, a major media company set out to personally destroy the man who they thought put the report together and thereby discredit the report to the point that the entire media complex in America took turns ridiculing the story instead of investigating it. The results could have dire implications for national security.

But hey, at least they got rid of the Bad Orange Man.

The week before Election Day, RedState published a series of articles about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, based on a 64-page report from researchers who combed public records to reveal how compromised the Biden family is to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). You can read Part 1 here. The four-part series lays out deeply disturbing connections between Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and the CCP.

The pro-democracy news outlet Apple Daily, based in Hong Kong, used an earlier 40-page version of the report and was the first to report on its findings. In response, NBC News launched a coordinated attack on one of the publishers of the report, Christopher Balding. This attack had all the appearances of being coordinated with the Biden campaign and it had the effect of benefiting the CCP.

 

The report goes into intimate detail about the deep connections between the Biden family and the CCP. In fact, Hunter Biden’s company BHR is listed as a subsidiary of the Bank of China, owned by the CCP.

Sidney Powell is still out there fighting By Andrea Widburg

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

“Those of you who are downhearted are also forgetting one of the most important weapons we have: Each other. We are fighters who believe in our constitutional, free-market, morally-governed democratic republic. We matter.”

As I write these words in the wee hours of Saturday morning, it’s tough not to be disheartened by the Supreme Court’s refusal to take up Texas’s challenge to those states accused of running corrupt elections. Still, that was just one of many efforts to return sanity to the election. One of the most interesting actors now, as before, is Sidney Powell. (The other is Lin Wood, with whom she works.) This post sums up Powell’s most recent pronouncements.

First, late Friday night, after the Supreme Court had already dismissed the Texas case, Powell told people to “Pay attention!”

I did pay attention and was able to get a link to the 97-page emergency petition she filed – except that I can’t get it to load. You can find it here and it may work for you.

Incidentally, even without reading the petition, I believe absolutely that Powell is correct that the American people have standing. In our federal republic, the votes in 50 stand-alone states are combined to elect a president. When a state engages in unconstitutional cheating for Biden in a way that affects the election outcome, that conduct not only invalidates votes for Trump within the state, it destroys the vote of all Trump voters who participated in constitutionally-run elections in other states.
