Showing it's always Russiagate-o'clock in US Congress, Senator Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada) rejected any claims of election fraud as false narratives 'pushed' by RT and Sputnik at a hearing featuring ex-CISA chief Chris Krebs.

Krebs, a former Microsoft executive who led the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency until he was fired by President Donald Trump last month, testified before the Senate on Wednesday.

While the president tweeted that Krebs had been "totally excoriated and proven wrong" at the hearing, Rosen, a Nevada Democrat, dismissed all claims by the Trump campaign lawyer Jesse Binnall as baseless.

As the Republic dies the next generation of political leaders must rise

Rand Paul and Tulsi Gabbard
The first rule of screenwriting, or in fact any fiction writing, is, "Conflict doesn't create character, it reveals it." People are who they are and we only find out what they are made of when tested to their limit.

This is the essence of all good storytelling — create characters who rise to be role models for us as we navigate our way through a Universe hostile to our very existence.

While I hesitate to ascribe such noble ideas as 'character' to any politician there are a few out there who have shown great potential. I've written about all of them at various times in the past few years.

Matteo Salvini in Italy, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Russian President Vladmir Putin, Nigel Farage in the UK and even a flawed figure like Donald Trump are all examples of men who history will remember as having stood up when needed.

Christian purge envisioned during Biden/Harris administration by 'Secular Democrats of America'

communist America
A group backed by congressional Democrats touting a "Secular America" has sent a 28-page document to the Biden transition team advising him to strip First Amendment rights from Christians who advocate traditional biblical positions on the sanctity of life, marriage, education and the nuclear family.

The group, calling themselves the Secular Democrats of America, sent the letter to Biden's team under the title "Restoring Constitutional Secularism and Patriotic Pluralism in the White House: Prepared exclusively by Secular Democrats of America PAC for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris Transition Team."

The document, presented by Reps Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Jared Huffman, D-Calif., and endorsed by Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Calif., states that an incoming Biden administration must "educate the American public," particularly those identified as the "religious right," on the need to keep their "religious dogma" to themselves. The document calls for a purge of social conservatives from all levels of government, labeling them as "white nationalist" and "conspiracy theorists."

"They don't have a problem with churches, they have a problem with conservative churches that voted for Donald Trump," Brannon Howse, a conservative radio host who aired a program on the document Monday night, told LeoHohmann.com. "And some of the people promoting this are members of the leftist neo-evangelical community."

Says stay-at-home orders betray "authoritarian instincts" of governments.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador slammed lockdowns as a form of "dictatorship" during a press conference, telling reporters that such measures betray "authoritarian instincts."

The populist leftist leader, known as AMLO by his supporters, said that COVID-19 lockdowns were "fashionable among authorities...who want to show they are heavy handed, dictatorship."

"A lot of them are letting their authoritarian instincts show," he added, noting that, "The fundamental thing is to guarantee liberty."

Comment: How refreshing it is to see a democratically elected leader speak out against deceptive and injurious lockdown and mask-wearing mandates. We can use a few more like AMLO...

Israel is responsible for unrest in the Middle East - Russia's ambassador to Israel

Moscow and Tehran both back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad but their visions for post-war Syria have diverged at times.
In a noteworthy interview with an Israeli newspaper on Tuesday, Russia has accused Israel of being responsible for the unrest in the Middle East, while relieving Iran and its allies of blame.

"The problem in the region is not Iranian activities," Russian ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov told the Jerusalem Post in comments later shared by Moscow's embassy in Tel Aviv. "It's a lack of understanding between countries and noncompliance with U.N. resolutions in the Israel-Arab and Israel-Palestinian conflict."

Israelis have steadily annexed and settled across territories deemed Palestinian by the United Nations. Violence between the two sides has stymied peace efforts for decades, though frictions between Israel and Iran, along with fellow pro-Palestinian partners such as Lebanese Shiite Muslim movement Hezbollah, have taken precedence.

Ireland paid millions for faulty ventilators that it never used

A multimillion-euro deal to bring medical ventilators into Ireland saw the HSE pay cash up front a month in advance to a company with no trading history.

The HSE paid Roqu Media International Limited, a Dublin-based company with a history of managing festivals in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Bulgaria, €14.1 million for the supply of intensive care Boaray and Eternity ventilators "on or about March 23" of this year as Ireland faced into its first lockdown.

US confirms cyberattack hit government networks, says it's ongoing

The U.S. government has confirmed that a recent cyberattack affected its networks and said the attack was "significant and ongoing."

A joint statement issued on December 16 by the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) called it a "developing situation" and said investigators were continuing their work to fully understand its full extent.

"Over the course of the past several days, the FBI, CISA, and ODNI have become aware of a significant and ongoing cybersecurity campaign," the joint statement said.

"We know this compromise has affected networks within the federal government," the statement added.

The FBI, CISA, and ODNI have formed a Cyber Unified Coordination Group to coordinate the U.S. government's response, the statement said.

Representatives of the National Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the FBI briefed members of Congress on December 16. Senator Dick Durbin (Democrat-Illinois) later told CNN that "this is virtually a declaration of war by Russia on the United States, and we should take that seriously."


Comment: Durbin is a shameless political opportunist and all-around hack. At this point, no one knows who was responsible for this cyberattack, and no evidence has been presented even hinting at who is behind it.

The revenge of the Establishment is complete - the deep state Trump sought to overcome has conspired to defeat him

Trump

The President who valiantly tried to take on the Washington elite, one man against many, has in the end, been crushed by them. We, the American people, now need to finish the task he started.

​It now seems increasingly likely that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have gotten away with the "f-word" and will be sworn in to the White House on January 20.

​At every level, the courts have deemed the overwhelming evidence of electoral fraud as insufficient to even justify a full hearing, let alone the enforcement of the law. The administration of justice in America increasingly resembles that of the Third World, where political and ethnic affiliations determine outcomes.

Even I, almost inured to our nation's decline, have been shocked by the blatant evidence of cheating and the inaction of the justice system in the face of such criminality. Factor in the media constantly pushing an almost 100 percent negative slant against Trump at every turn, and where does that leave you?

​It leaves you with the sickening knowledge that the establishment - the deep swamp that is the Washington machine - has won. Again. It has triumphed over Trump. And trampled all over us. Again.

'Compared to you, we are squeaky clean': Putin blames West for betraying promises to Moscow and launching 'new Cold War'

Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has pointed the finger at NATO members for their aggressive actions on the world stage, claiming that "peaceful" Russia is not responsible for the growing tensions between Moscow and the West. In particular, Putin chided the US for pulling out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces and Open Skies treaties, which Russia is still a part of, and reeled off the names of the five countries that spend more money on their military than Moscow.

The president also noted how the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty is soon to expire, due to Washington's lack of willingness to agree to prolong it, and called the US "aggressive" for its vast numbers of military bases around the world.

"Who is the peaceful one here?" he asked rhetorically.

The comments came in response to a question from Steve Rosenberg, a correspondent from British state broadcaster the BBC, who had asked the president whether Russia was "squeaky clean," or deserved to shoulder some responsibility for helping to ignite a new "new Cold War." In particular, the journalist mentioned the 2018 Skripal poisoning in Salisbury.

Comment: Who was Navalny working with? Putin claims it was American intelligence:
Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that opposition figure Alexey Navalny is supported in his work by US intelligence services. Putin added that if Russian security services wanted to assassinate the western-leaning protest leader, they would have "finished the job." He also insisted that the FSB were within their rights to follow Navalny, given their suspicions.

Earlier this week, a joint report by the US and UK state-funded Bellingcat, Russia's The Insider, plus mainstream news outlets CNN and Der Spiegel, claimed that Navalny was poisoned with the knowledge of the very highest echelons of government, including Putin himself. In response, the Russian head of state rubbished their work as "fabrications."
"This is not some kind of investigation. This is the laundering of materials from the American special services. Our special services know this and use telephones wherever they see fit."
Shaking up the status quo, Russia is flooded with party options for next year's election:
Russia's parliamentary system is evolving, with at least 16 parties set to participate in next year's election, having been dominated by three groups for almost two decades.

Russia's two largest opposition parties, the Communists and the LDPR, have been led by Gennady Zyuganov and Vladimir Zhirinovsky since 1993 and 1992 respectively. Both men are now in their 70s, and it is expected that they will soon need to pass on the baton.

Putin noted that political parties with local representation no longer need to collect a long list of signatures to participate in federal elections and, therefore, could pose an extra challenge to the current "traditional, established" factions. "The voter decides who is elected," Putin said. "The goal of all traditional parties is the same: the well-being of the country."

Russia's next parliamentary election is coming in 2021, the first following updates to the constitution granting more powers to elected MPs across a number of issues. According to new laws, the State Duma now makes more decisions regarding the formation of the government, with the ability to select the prime minister and deputy prime ministers. "There is now the perfect coupling between the government and MPs," Putin said.

President Trump is our President. He is not going to allow Communists to take over the United States.

Per an article at the Western Journal on Sunday, Sidney Powell is building a RICO case against voting machine companies Dominion and Smartmatic :
Attorney Sidney Powell says that her battle over the Nov. 3 election is far from over, saying that the evidence she is gathering could turn into a major racketeering case under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act...

...Four names, she said, were central to her investigation: Jorge Rodriguez, a former minister for communications for Venezuela; Khalil Majid Mazzoub, whom Powell identified as a link to the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hezbollah; Gustavo Reyes-Zumeta, a computer programmer; and Antonio Mugica, CEO of the elections technology company Smartmatic, which has been linked in some accounts to Dominion Voting Systems.
Here are some comments from Powell on Lou Dobbs Thursday night:
