A majority of voters consider the election decided, according to a poll, but a large portion of Trump supporters view Joe Biden as an "illegitimate" winner and want the president to fight to remain in power.

With the Electoral College set to officially vote on Monday, and enough states certifying their results to give Biden the electoral votes needed for a victory, Trump's options for reelection are quickly dwindling, though the Republican insisted on Sunday the fight is "not over" and he is continuing to pursue legal avenues.

According to a new CBS News poll released on Sunday, the majority of his supporters back the president's efforts to deny Biden as the legitimate winner of the presidential election.

Caitlyn Kaufman Nashville ICU nurse
A Tennessee man has been arrested in the fatal shooting of a Nashville intensive care nurse.

Devaunte Lewis Hill, 21, was charged with criminal homicide in Caitlyn Kaufman's death, the Metro Nashville Police Department tweeted on Friday. The 26-year-old healthcare worker was shot during her commute to St. Thomas West Hospital on Dec. 3.

According to The Associated Press, a Metro Parks police officer found Kaufman's gray Mazda CX-5 SUV on the right shoulder of Interstate 440 at 8:52 p.m. and stopped, believing it to be a single-car crash site. She died at the scene.

Comment: From RT:
The police said their investigation was continuing and may lead to more arrests. They would not speculate over the motive of the crime, but said they had confirmed that Kaufman and Hill didn't know each other. Over the week the media had speculated that the killing was the result of a case of road rage.

According to WKRN, a local affiliate of ABC, Hill has an extensive criminal record. In 2016, when he was 16, he pled guilty to three counts of attempted criminal homicide. The shooting incident reportedly happened after his mother and grandmother attempted to wake him up for school. Hill is said to have hit his grandma, 12-year-old sister and six-year-old nephew.

Two months after the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS) returned him to his family in 2017, he was arrested for aggravated robbery near his home and put back into custody until his 19th birthday. Next year he was arrested for drug possession while, this year, he was charged with assault with bodily injury.

Project Veritas on Thursday released undercover video of Georgia Senate candidate Jon Ossoff's deputy political director revealing the Democrats are hiding their plans to pack the Supreme Court with liberal justices.

The corrupt officials in Georgia are trying to steal the 2020 election through voter fraud and they're also trying to steal the twin senate runoff on January 5th.

GOP incumbent Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler are fighting to keep their seats against Marxist Warnock and far left Jon Ossoff.

Cover-Up: ABC, CBS barely cover Hunter Biden Probe, ignore business deals in China

Just over a month after the 2020 presidential election, Hunter Biden and his father's team dropped their spin operation on Wednesday against any and all criticism of Hunter's corruption business dealings, admitting that Hunter's under federal investigation over his taxes.

Most importantly, there's no word yet on whether the Biden team and their media allies (ranging from CNN to The New York Times) will continue to argue this investigation is part of a Russian disinformation effort.

But when it came to the network evening newscasts, ABC and CBS couldn't be bothered to each give it even a minute's time or even allude to the efforts by those such as the New York Post and Tucker Carlson to expose his dealings in China.

Question

Will anyone face any consequences for gaslighting Americans on the Hunter Biden story?

Ben Domenech
The Federalist
Fri, 11 Dec 2020 00:01 UTC
joe and hunter biden
So now that it is overwhelmingly evident the New York Post's initial Hunter and Jim Biden story wasn't based on hacked material, wasn't Russian misinformation, is clearly something people deserved to know before voting, and that big tech and America's corporate media tried to make sure that didn't happen - and that once again rather than alter their behavior or ask for forgiveness, they're going to instead attempt to gaslight you about all of it - I have a number of questions.

First, when did Joe Biden first learn that his repeated claims the stories about his son and his brother were Fake News - or in his phrasing, debunked, smears, and the like - were in fact false? When was he briefed on this exactly, and by whom? And why, given that every effort was made to distance Hunter from the campaign, did the defensive announcement come from the Transition instead of just from Hunter himself if Joe, as he has always claimed, has nothing to do with this?

Second, William Barr reportedly worked very hard to keep the Hunter Biden investigation hidden from the public - something that won't help his standing with the conspiracy minded. While I can understand why this was done, will there be some explanation offered as to why this wasn't an unusual act of deference, influenced by the 2016 concerns over James Comey's behavior? Andrew McCarthy offers an explanation here, one which I am not sure will satisfy critics who believe American voters at least deserved to know the rumored investigation was real much earlier in the process.

NYC DRUG USERS ADVISE POLICE
Lawrence Downey (left) -- accused of killing Ronnie Massaro (right) -- is fed up with NYC's crime wave.
Even the bad guys are dispensing advice on how to make the city safe.

"This could be avoided if you just get the drugs off the street," Lawrence Downey, a career criminal accused of fatally knifing a WWE star's brother, told cops as he was collared for the brazen killing in front of a Midtown pizzeria last month.

Downey, 59, whose rap sheet stretches back to 1995, even pointed out to the arresting officers from the Midtown South Precinct, "It's so bad right now (it's) on your own block."

The myth of overpopulation

Kit Knightly

In his latest, "Mouse Utopia and the Blackest Pill", James Corbett takes aim at perhaps the most insidious propaganda narrative of all, and one that is very close to my heart: Overpopulation.

This has been a personal bugbear of mine since I grew old enough to detect subtext, but long before I could articulate exactly why: The pervasive and destructive idea that there are too many people.


A propaganda construct that seeks to create contempt for masses of ordinary people, whilst excusing hubristic and inhumane practices by institutions and elites.

These destructive belief systems have come to the fore during this "pandemic", made obvious by the fevered gleeful enthusiasm with which so many took up the narrative. One UN representative claimed the coronavirus was Earth "sending us a message".

Bill Gates smirks as he says bars and restaurants should 'sadly' be closed for 4-6 months, no return to 'normal' until 2022

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes a return to "normal" life is further down the road for the US than people expect, despite a Covid-19 vaccine being approved and distributed this week.

Conceding that by the summer of 2021, the US should be "way closer to normal than we are now," Gates, who has donated millions to vaccination efforts through his foundation, believes a full return to normal will likely not be possible until after 2022.

The billionaire told CNN on Sunday that "unless we help other countries get rid of this disease" and see "high vaccination rates" within the US, the "risk of reintroduction" will be possible.

"Big public gatherings" should continue to be banned and most bars and restaurants around the country should "sadly" be closed to curb infection rates, according to Gates. A real return to normal, he theorized, is possible only after 12 to 18 months "if we manage it well."

Caitlin Johnston: Who the #Resistance was actually #Resisting these last four years

The anti-Trump #Resistance billed itself as a revolutionary force against a monster that had taken over the White House. But it was never intended to resist the powerful - it was meant to ensure the comfort of the establishment.

After it was announced that the Biden camp had selected a Raytheon board member as his secretary of defense, I joked in my last article that it would be more honest if Raytheon itself was Biden's Pentagon chief since the US Supreme Court ruled that corporations are people anyway. Raytheon for defense secretary, Boeing for secretary of state, Goldman Sachs for secretary treasurer, ExxonMobile head of the EPA, Amazon for CIA director and Google for director of national intelligence. Waka waka, I'm so silly.

Anyway, since that rant was published NPR has reported that the the next US director of agriculture will be a man named Tom Vilsack, whose corporate cronyism the last time he occupied the same position earned him the nickname (I s**t you not) 'Mr Monsanto'. Which is just too perfect for words, really.

Bloomberg reports: "Some supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders campaigned against Vilsack when he was under consideration to be Clinton's vice president, branding him 'Mr. Monsanto' and citing his role in brokering a compromise on legislation labeling foods containing genetically modified organisms. Sanders opposed the national legislation, which overrode a stricter Vermont state law."

Nanny state in your home: San Francisco bans tobacco smoking INSIDE apartments, approves weed (Update)


New York Post
Thu, 03 Dec 2020 07:48 UTC

Comment: This won't mean much to the sleeping masses, who are by now used to being told what to do in their homes, but we'd just like to note for the record: 'told ya so!' Decades ago, we said this is where things would end up if people (smokers and non-smokers alike) accepted the fascist smoking bans in bars and restaurants...

This is how they roll in San Francisco.

Smokers in the Golden Gate City have been banned from smoking tobacco in their apartments, but smoking a marijuana joint inside is perfectly fine, officials announced Tuesday.

The Board of Supervisors approved the new law in 10 to 1 vote, making San Francisco the largest city in the country to adopt the tough measure against tobacco smokers, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Lawmakers originally proposed to ban marijuana smoking in buildings, but they reversed their position after cannabis activists protested that it was the only legal place they could smoke.

Tobacco smokers argued the new law violated their rights especially while living in their homes. However, officials greenlighted the bill citing secondhand smoking concerns.

Comment: No, tobacco does NOT kill 'half a million Americans annually.' In fact, there's no evidence tobacco 'kills' anyone.

Doctors do though.

As for govts, no one's keeping count.

Again, while they attempt to literally eradicate tobacco, note their encouragement to smoke cannabis.

Clearly, one is good for you and the other is not.

We leave it to readers to figure out which is which.

San Francisco nixes the cigarette smoking ban in apartments for now:
An ordinance to ban cigarette smoking in San Francisco apartments failed to get a second vote from supervisors Tuesday, meaning the proposal is dead for now.

Supervisors last week approved the measure, saying that non-smoking residents living in cramped apartment buildings should be free from secondhand smoke. The measure carved out an exemption for marijuana, which cannot be smoked in public spaces.

The legislation required two separate votes, and Tuesday's yes vote was considered a given.

But Supervisor Aaron Peskin on Tuesday requested the proposal be sent back to committee, saying that he had heard from long-time, low-income tenants and worried about the ban's impact. The motion passed 6-5.
