Shut Up and Take It It doesn’t matter how many times the ruling class has misled us, either intentionally or purposely. After all, who are you to complain? By Julie Kelly

“Now we are told that election fraud isn’t real, just another “baseless conspiracy theory” promoted by QAnon and the Bad Orange Man. Despite extensive evidence to the contrary, offered by a handful of Americans still fruitlessly tethered to the U.S. Constitution and a sense of patriotic duty, the ruling class assures us there is nothing to see. Witnesses are harassed, bullied, and mocked for having the wrong hair; any credible claims of law-breaking are met with promises to “get it right next time.”

Shut up and take it.”

Dave Morris was fed up.

As a gainfully-employed television news reporter aired a live segment outside a small café to tell viewers that Morris was keeping his business open despite a government order to close it, the Portage, Michigan restaurant owner confronted him. The Kalamazoo Health Department had issued a warning to Morris on December 1 for allowing indoor dining against the wishes of Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer; he was instructed to shut down his business immediately or face a fine imposed by the government.

The local journalist was on the scene, however, to tattle.

“Everyone needs to stand up,” Morris told WWMT-TV reporter Tavarious Haywood on Wednesday. “This isn’t an order . . . this is tyranny. Wake up, stand up, this is America, be free.” (Haywood later tweeted about his own bravery in the face of an “angry business owner” who “interrupted” him.)

Morris, who has owned D&R’s Daily Grind Cafe for 12 years, said he’s lost $100,000 in business this year and is going broke. “I can go down quietly or I can go down making some noise so people understand what’s going on,” he said.

But this is America in the year 2020. People like Morris—or really anyone not empowered with an executive pen or a cable news gig or a sinecure in some public health bureaucracy—are supposed to go down and go down quietly.

Shut up and take it.

The Dems Had No Choice But to Rig the Election This time they were ready — because there was too much at stake. Ayad Rahim

Looking back at the unusual election we just had, and viewing it in the context of political events going back 150 years, it’s clear that the Democrats had no choice but to rig the presidential election — and, now, they’re going for all the marbles.

In the last weeks of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump was drawing tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters several times a day, and people across the land, and at sea, formed massive rallies and caravans of their own. Meanwhile, the Biden camp was barely limping along, with one or two funereal gatherings a week, before, at best, a few dozen people (sometimes, overwhelmingly outnumbered by Trump supporters); the campaign’s apparent strategy was to minimize the candidate’s exposure (and let the media do the work for them) — not only because the candidate was feeble and the campaign advocated lockdowns, but also because evidence began emerging of the Biden family’s dealings with foreign oligarchs and corrupt countries — most importantly, Communist China.

So, as election day approached, things were looking good for the president. Indeed, as the results came in on election night, the president was headed for re-election. He was ahead in the electoral college, and had big leads in the handful of remaining states he needed to win.

Then, suddenly, the counting stopped. Late at night, five decisive states announced at the same time that they stopped counting. Has the counting of votes ever stopped on election night in any election, let alone a presidential election? It’s as if, with a couple of minutes left to play in a basketball game, one team is way ahead and “running away with it,” and the other team is down and dejected, staring defeat in the face; and all of a sudden, the referees stop the game for the first time ever, and for no stated reason. Then they send the team that’s winning, home, blindfold them, and tie their hands; leave the trailing team on the court by itself, with control of the scoreboard and the keys; and ask them to send in the final score, whenever they want. If there were fans in the stands, they’d yell, “How much they payin’ you, ref?”

Byron York’s Daily Memo: Are Trump allies trying to sabotage GOP in Georgia? by Byron York,

ARE TRUMP ALLIES TRYING TO SABOTAGE GOP IN GEORGIA? Wednesday witnessed one of the most extraordinary events in recent political history. With two critical Senate races underway in Georgia — with Republican control of the Senate at stake — two prominent allies of a Republican president traveled to the state to urge voters not to vote for Republican candidates.

Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, two attorneys who are pursuing lawsuits alleging massive voter fraud in the presidential election in Georgia and elsewhere, attended a “Stop the Steal” rally in Alpharetta, outside of Atlanta. The rally came a little more than a month before Georgia’s January 5 runoff elections, in which Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are running against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. If either Perdue or Loeffler wins, Republicans will have a narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate. If both win, a 52-48 majority will give Senate Republicans more power. But if Democrats win both races, the Senate will be split 50-50 and in the control of Democrats, since a Vice President Kamala Harris will have the tie-breaking vote.

With the swearing-in of Joe Biden as president, and with Democrats remaining in control of the House, the future of the Senate is absolutely critical to Republican fortunes. If GOP lawmakers control the Senate, they can stop Biden’s agenda cold. If Democrats control, they can enact the Biden agenda, and in the process wipe away much of President Trump’s legacy. So Georgia is the whole ball game.

Which is why Wednesday’s rally was so weird. In her speech, Powell expanded on her theory that Dominion machines and Smartmatic software, developed for the late Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, were used to change millions of votes from Trump to Biden. Now, she puts more emphasis on China. “We’ve already traced a lot of the money that did this back to China,” Powell told the crowd.

Biden, the ‘Not’ Candidate, Does Not Have a Mandate By J. Peder Zane

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/12/03/biden_the_not_candidate_does_not_have_a_mandate_144773.html

Kudos to Joe Biden for already fulfilling his one and only campaign promise: He’s not Donald Trump. Problem is, a four-year term awaits with no mandate for change.

That’s the price for conducting one of the most negative campaigns in American history. It’s not that Biden was nasty – though calling the president a “racist” and a “clown” at the first debate was downright Trumpian. It’s that he ran as the Candidate of Not. He was not Trump. He was not a radical leftist. He was not against fracking, not against the police, not a supporter of antifa – except when he was, which took us into the realm of the double negative campaign.

He pursued that strategy while not really running for office, hunkering down in his Delaware basement. This helps explain a recent Morning Consult poll that found that 44% of his supporters said they were chiefly voting against Trump.

It also illuminates Biden’s surprising lack of coattails, as Democrats lost House seats and Republicans held their own in legislative races as an expected blue wave turned a reddish purple.

Campaigning as the Candidate of Not will make it hard to govern a third term of Yes We Can! The question that has dogged Biden throughout his 47-year career – what, if anything, does the guy stand for? – remains.

Trump Team to File Lawsuit: 40,000 People Voted Twice in Nevada By Jack Phillips

https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-team-claims-40000-people-voted-twice-in-

A lawyer for President Donald Trump’s campaign said the team is preparing to file a lawsuit soon alleging that 40,000 people voted twice in Nevada, which, if true, could potentially erase Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s lead.

Trump attorney Jesse R. Binnall, speaking to Fox Business on Dec. 2, said that they found evidence of “real voter fraud” including “thousands and thousands of instances” in Nevada that will be submitted to a court in the Silver State.

“We have instances, for instance, of 40,000-plus people who have voted twice in the election,” Binnall said.

He didn’t provide a source for his claim, such as an affidavit or a whistleblower, but later said lawyers will present evidence to the court. It isn’t clear where the bulk of the alleged fraudulent ballots were cast in the state.

Binnall, who helped defend retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, also said that some people who were recorded as having voted via mail never received ballots and told Trump’s team that they didn’t vote.

Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Cegavske has released few public statements since the Nov. 3 election.

Several weeks ago, in response to allegations of fraud, Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria’s office told The Associated Press that the Trump campaign’s “complaints … misstate and misrepresent evidence” and claimed they “parrot erroneous allegations made by partisans without firsthand knowledge of the facts.”

The Real Kraken: What Really Happened to Donald Trump in the 2020 Election By J. Christian Adams

https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2020/12/02/the-real-kraken-what-really-happened-to-donald-trump-in-the-2020-election-n1185494

Eric Holder was a big loser on election night. He was the guy raising tens of millions of dollars to make America safe for Democratic redistricting. A red wave turned Holder’s dreams into dust in state legislative races. State legislatures are where the redistricting action is, and the GOP flipped three chambers red, gaining 192 state house seats and 40 state senate seats nationwide.

Republicans now control both House and Senate chambers in 31 states. The country is a huge swath of red legislative control with Democrats largely confined to the cultural monoliths on the Pacific coast and urban Northeast.

The red wave extended to the United States House of Representatives, where for now, Republicans have gained nine seats.

But this wasn’t supposed to happen. The president isn’t supposed to lose when all the Republicans are winning.

Something’s fishy.

Indeed, something profoundly fishy happened in the 2020 election, but it wasn’t the Kraken or Venezuelan communists running remote software when they can’t even make the red lights work in their own country. Those shiny objects will play out with time and examination of evidence.

What happened in 2020 is something more fundamental and profound. What happened in 2020 is cultural and systemic, and sadly, generally legal. Until Republicans, and more importantly Trump supporters, understand what happened to them this year, it will happen again.

Two things happened in 2020. First, COVID led to a dismantling of state election integrity laws by everyone except the one body with the constitutional prerogative to change the rules of electing the president – the state legislatures.

Second, the Center for Technology and Civic Life happened.

If you are focused on goblins in the voting machines but don’t know anything about the CTCL and what they did to defeat Donald Trump, it’s time to up your game.

Sidney Powell’s Election Lawsuit in Georgia Gets Expedited Appeal By Zachary Stieber

https://www.theepochtimes.com/sidney-powells-election-lawsuit-in-georgia-gets-expedited-appeal_3603117.html

A federal appeals court agreed on Wednesday to expedite the appeal in a case brought by lawyer Sidney Powell against election officials in Georgia.

A judge on Sunday blocked election officials from wiping or altering Dominion Voting Systems machines in three counties but Powell was seeking a statewide order, prompting her to seek an emergency appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

The appeals court on Dec. 2 granted the emergency appeal, ordering plaintiffs to file their initial brief by midnight and defendants to file their response by midnight on Dec. 4. Plaintiffs can file a response to the response by midnight on Dec. 6.

The initial brief wasn’t listed on the docket as of early Thursday.

Also on Wednesday night, the Democratic Party of Georgia entered an emergency request to grant an intervention so they can participate in the appeal. The party is being represented by Washington firm Perkins Coie, a longtime Democrat-linked company. [delete]

The Five Legislatures That Must Do Their Constitutional Duty To Confirm Trump’s Reelection Lewis K. Uhler and Peter J. Ferrara

https://issuesinsights.com/2020/12/01/the-five-legislatures-that-must-do-their-constitutional-duty-to-confirm-trumps-reelection/

After four years of bitter partisan infighting, Democrats have gone even further this time with the one thing they do well: steal elections. They have been doing that for more than 100 years, from Tammany Hall in New York to Chicago with former Mayor Richard Daley’s political machine counting the votes.

But this time the national media have become a willing accomplice, failing to report the charges Trump and his allies have been making against that fraud.  

On election night, fraud became increasingly obvious when the vote count stopped late at night in major Democrat controlled cities, in particular Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, where in the dark of night trucks pulled up at voting centers to deliver new ballots to count. Democrats were following the most brazen vote-stealing practices going back over a century, calculating what votes were needed to reverse the results to favor Joe Biden.

At times before the ballot counts were stopped, Trump was leading by several hundred thousand votes. But once the sun rose, Biden’s vote count had increased by several hundred thousand. Some ballots had only a vote for Biden, with no votes for anyone else down ballot.

Our old friend and conservative ally Woody Jenkins, editor of the Central City News of Baton Rouge, La., summed it up as follows:

“While the mainstream media has crowned former Vice President Joe Biden as president elect, the facts on the ground are quite different, at least in two swing states that have been called for Biden – Georgia and Pennsylvania. In those two states careful analysis of the data show that both states voted for President Trump, and the election was stolen. It was fraud by computer.” (He goes on to identify Dominion and Smartmatic as the culprits).

Democrats faked birthdays in Pennsylvania and are caught by statistics

https://joannenova.com.au/2020/12/democrats-faked-birthdays-in-pennsylvania-and-are-caught-by-statistics/

Counties with more suspicious birthdays were more likely to vote for Biden

When people picked fake dates for fake voters they didn’t spread them in a normal pattern through the year. Instead of having more birthdays in the summer months (which is normal in the US) there were more births than expected in December and January. There were also more birthdays on the nice round numbered days like the 10th, 20th and 30th days of the month.

In a layered and detailed study Carl Bell uncovers how wildly unlikely these birthdays are. Not only are the days suspicious, the months are too, and then there is the red hot flag that the counties with the oddest birthday patterns are usually Biden supporters. And furthermore, they are counties that differed the most from their past voting behaviour and also counties with higher votes for third parties too (like the libertarians). It’s almost like fake voters wanted Joe Biden to win, but not win by too much, so they had to add in some votes for “others” as well.

The “birthday” tool could not only to be used to spot suspicious counties in the first place, it was so detailed it could give an estimate of what votes might have been if those outlier counties had had a more normal distribution.

As usual, when they take out the fakes, Trump won.

This looks like something that would be useful in a court of law. “Beyond reasonable doubt”.
