Social media's campaign of tagging every election post that doesn't fit the mainstream media narrative is now being mocked in memes ranging from Paul Revere's ride to the priest warning the Trojans about the Greek wooden horse.

The meme that kicked it all off appeared sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday, showing a "learn how British taxes are beneficial for society" label on a mock-up of a tweet by Paul Revere, with the famous quote attributed to him, "The British are coming!"

Revere was the rider who warned the Massachusetts colonists in 1775 that British troops were being sent to suppress them, ahead of the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord that would begin the American War of Independence.

A former Philadelphia election official has pleaded guilty to taking thousands of dollars in bribes to stuff the ballot boxes for Democrats in local races between 2014 and 2016.

Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, a former judge of elections in South Philadelphia, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights when he padded the votes for the elected positions, U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain announced Thursday.

"DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear," said U.S. Attorney McSwain in a statement.

Retail giant Target has removed a book from its assortment after a single tweet complaint, alleging the book contained transphobic content, leading to massive outrage on social media over the company's compliance to PC culture.

In a now hidden Thursday tweet, an anonymous user complained about Target selling the book Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters, by Abigail Shrier. The tweet demanded to know why the chain was selling the book and said the trans community "deserves a response" from the company.

Unhinged: Arizona Secretary of State in charge of certifying election results called Trump voters 'neo-Nazis'

Katie Hobbs

Katie Hobbs is Arizona's Secretary of State. She is the one responsible for certifying the election results in her state. She hates the president, and believes his supporters to be neo-Nazi's.
Katie Hobbs is Arizona's Secretary of State. She is the one responsible for certifying the election results in her state. She hates the president, and believes his supporters to be neo-Nazis.


Comment: Sadly, Secretary Hobbs is representative of many political and media figures who have lost all perspective (not to mention their collective minds) in regards to who Trump is, and what he actually stands for; Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real and scary thing for the way it facilitates the projection of all that's dark within the individual who is unwilling, or incapable, of psychological insight and introspection.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
Victims' lawyers called report "attempt to whitewash" the Justice Department's mishandling of case.

The Justice Department's probe into Jeffrey Epstein's 2007 plea deal in Florida on sex-related crimes has been concluded with investigators determining that Miami federal prosecutors committed no "professional misconduct" when declining to prosecute the wealth financier.

Epstein, who last year committed suicide inside a Manhattan jail awaiting trial on sex-crime charges, in 2007 pleaded guilty in a Florida state court for soliciting sex from a minor and a prostitute. But as part of the plea deal, he avoid federal prosecution on allegations he had sexually abused dozens of other underage females.

The Trump Accountability Project, which blacklists supporters of President Donald Trump, is "no longer active." The announcement came after the mainstream media's projected winner of the presidential election Joe Biden called for unity in America.

"Accordingly, in the spirit of the President-elect's call to build a more united country, this project will no longer be active," organizers wrote in a statement on the project's website.

Admins noted that the project was purportedly started, because "restoring democratic norms are vital to protecting America's future."

While there have been people who tested positive for COVID-19 on flights in Canada, the country's top doctor said that transmission while onboard a plane is really low.

Dr. Theresa Tam said during a press conference on November 10 that there have been a couple of reports about people getting infected on flights but it's a really small number.

She noted that modern planes are "really good" with how airflow happens in cabins.

Comment: So does this mean Canada will lift its travel restrictions and people will actually be able to leave the country under some guise of normalcy? No. No it doesn't.

Society: Woke women are killing marriage and dating

Woke culture
Several days ago, I posted a story on Facebook highlighting the inflated expectations many women have of men and marriage. The purpose was to show how simple most men's needs are when compared to women's. To drive the point home, I suggested women lower their standards. Until recently, this message would not have been met with so much as a raised eyebrow. In fact, to the best of my knowledge, this story, officially entitled The Husband Store, has been told for some time as a joke of sorts. I've known people to laugh about it but never to get mad.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla sold millions in stock on same day of vaccine reveal

pfizer
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla cashed in on his company's coronavirus vaccine breakthrough.

The executive sold more than $5.5 million worth of Pfizer stock on Monday — the same day the drugmaker said its experimental COVID-19 shot was more than 90 percent effective, records show.

The groundbreaking development sent Pfizer's share price surging as high as $41.99 that day, its highest level in more than a year. Bourla dumped more than 132,000 shares for $41.94 apiece, just five cents shy of that peak, according to a Tuesday securities filing.

Comment: RT reports:
Many questions remain unanswered about Pfizer's vaccine ahead of its expected effort to seek emergency FDA approval. The company has not released information about side effects or safety in general, and indeed has not released much information at all beyond its claim that there were fewer symptomatic cases of Covid-19 among clinical trial participants who received the vaccine than in those who received a placebo. Bourla has promised the data will be released "in the coming weeks."
Are we seeing a pattern here? Moderna executives also dumped stocks following a public announcement of vaccine success, pocketing $millions from the sales: For more on Pfizer's murky history, see the articles below:
