Media decree makes it so? Biden propaganda is a naked attempt to silence Republicans, even as NOTHING has changed

For large swaths of the corporate media, the work to elect a Democratic president never ended.

Nothing has changed since Friday night.

You might find that strange, given the media stampede to certify the election results for their man, but it's crucial. The calls made Saturday morning are as arbitrary as they were last Tuesday, could just as easily have waited for Monday, and fly in the face of massive evidence of voter irregularities that, at minimum, should be heard in court before anyone considers calling the election.

Add pending lawsuits and official recounts in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin, and the conclusion is an attempt by the American media to pick our president and decide our election. The danger comes now, when in concert with Silicon Valley censors they use their own decree to dismiss and silence anyone who says otherwise.

Nevada whistleblower witnessed processing of illegitimate votes

Fox News reported on Saturday that a whistleblower in Nevada swore an affidavit declaring that he witnessed illegitimate processing of ballots as an election worker.

Specifically, the whistleblower claimed to have been instructed to count ballots needing signature verification that lacked the requisite signatures to be eligible.

Fox News's John Roberts said:
In just the last hour in Nevada, an election worker whose job was to process mail-in ballots says he witnessed irregularities in counting those ballots and was told by a supervisor — who he names — to put through ballots he believed needed signature verification without that verification first being done.

He says he was also told to ignore discrepancies with addresses. That worker has sworn out an affidavit which has been sent to the Department of Justice here in Washington. A Trump campaign attorney says of that, quote, "The affidavit makes clear that we're not dealing with oversights or sloppiness. This was intentional criminal conduct."

Though the mainstream media has declared that Democrat nominee Joe Biden is the winner of the 2020 election, it looks like President Donald Trump is closing in on former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in one key state.

News coming out of Arizona Friday evening just showed that Trump is gaining on his Democratic rival. Trump picked up an additional 6,955 votes in Maricopa County. Out of its 71,932 votes, 38,388 were for Trump, and 31,433 went to Biden.

As of press time, there were 173,000 outstanding ballots in the state Trump would need to secure the win. Even if Pennsylvania stayed in his favor through their contentious counting process, Trump couldn't get to 270 electoral votes — the threshold for either candidate to cross for the win — without it.

Trump still has an uphill climb with Biden ahead by 29,861. There were roughly 173,000 ballots left to be counting, including 47,000 provisional ballots that are cast without being able to properly identify the voter has the right to do so for one reason or another.


Comment: Trump would need to win a greater percentage than he did with those Maricopa County votes in order to overtake Biden's lead. He would in all likelihood do so, if not for the rampant fraud.


The 2020 presidential election results still hang in the balance, even as both candidates and their surrogates pronounce them the winner. The legal battles will likely stretch on even as states declare winners.

Britons could launch class-action lawsuit for BILLIONS for government 'falsely imprisoning' the nation in a lockdown

UK PM Boris Johnson and pandemic message - the exact same one from last March
Britons could potentially sue the Government for billions of pounds in compensation for 'falsely imprisoning' the nation with its Stay At Home order at the outbreak of coronavirus in March, a law lecturer has predicted.

Dr Jonathan Morgan, director of law at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, said a class action against the Government was 'unprecedented' - but added that so was the lockdown itself.

In a blog post published yesterday he wrote:
'Could the regulations' invalidity expose the Government to mass liability — to the entire UK population — for the tort of false imprisonment? Thus stated, the proposition seems highly unlikely. It would certainly be unprecedented. But perhaps that is because a pre-emptive quarantine of the entire population is also unprecedented. It is worth thinking about a hypothetical claim.'

Comment: This is the Einstein-attributed definition of insanity...only worse. Suing the government may get their attention. Jail sentences - as in their own personal lockup for the lockdown - would also work. Oh heck...do both!

House Dems in marathon call squabble over how they lost seats amid projections of Blue Wave

House Democrats are squabbling over their disappointing results in Tuesday's elections in which Republicans unexpectedly cut into their majority.

Members during a three-hour conference call Thursday accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's leadership team of numerous missteps including what they considered poor voter messaging and strategy, including too little grassroots campaigning.

They also lamented about Republicans this election cycle having won over many Hispanic and black voters - particularly in Texas and in Florida, in which Democrats lost two House seats in the once-reliable Miami-Dade area, according to news gathering agencies that had access to the details of the conversations in the call.

Among the biggest concerns, some of the lawmakers said, was failing to pass a second, major coronavirus stimulus package, with election-year politics having stalled negotiations between Pelosi and the White House.

Others said Republicans had successfully tagged incumbents as "socialists," as a result of some the caucus's most liberal members having supported calls to "defund" police departments following the May 25 death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody.

Comment: It's interesting how the House lost Democrats and gained Republicans if Trump truly lost the election - considering these two outcomes should be relative/parallel to each other's results. Dems are eating their own.

Britain died for me this week. It's become a Covid-obsessed police state, and I don't understand what it stands for anymore

London, Britain • November 5, 2020
I've always been proud to say I'm British - until now. The authorities' bloody-minded determination to implement lockdown rules at the expense of people's wellbeing is not what our great country should be about.

Sometimes you can be too close. You are looking, but you don't see it. That's where I found myself this week with the current state of Britain, amid another round of ever tighter restrictions caused by the pandemic.

Don't get me wrong. There are loads of things I've always loved about my country - our traditional British good manners for example. Rather than see it as a sign of weakness, I pride myself on our reputation for queuing in an orderly fashion. I also like that we hold the door open for the person behind us.

I admire our outstanding National Health Service, which allows everyone to access medical treatment without having to dig out a credit card or an insurance plan. And I enjoy flying British Airways over far-flung lands, offering me some form of attachment - even if it is superficial.

I won't apologise for tea being regarded as the boring and bland equivalent to freshly ground coffee - it's our drink, and I love it. And the way we honour our war heroes with the humble poppy is thoroughly respectful.

But this week, some of that pride in being British died for me. It's a very different sentiment I'm feeling. Beyond disillusionment. Fury even. How could Britain have fallen so far in the way it treats its own people?

Horrific rise in cases of baby abuse is the hidden cost of lockdown that we simply cannot ignore

New figures show injuries to infants because of abuse or neglect have increased dramatically during the pandemic. As England enters a second lockdown, this is a stark reminder that society's most vulnerable are being hit hardest.

There is nothing more heartbreaking in our society than the death of an infant by abuse. And yet the incidence of this, both deliberate and accidental, is on the increase in England, a direct result of the terrible impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent double lockdowns on vulnerable families.

While Chancellor Rishi Sunak paints a picture with the government's furlough scheme of households where reliably industrious parents are managing to work from home, attend Zoom conferences, cook, clean, referee disputes between bickering and sometimes bored offspring and generally enjoy a happy life, the reality for some could not be more different. Lockdown becomes a living hell for those families already in difficulty.

Comment: The toll of the lockdowns are manifold, and governments throughout the West continue to reimpose them despite their own numbers showing the destruction they are causing; and we can expect the situation to get even worse because the full impact of the lockdowns has yet to even be felt: UK gov figures show 75,000 could die because of lockdown, excess deaths are already soaring

The three new suspects are accused of "criminal terrorist conspiracy," according to judicial sources. Ten people have now been charged in connection with the murder of teacher Samuel Paty last month.

Two 18-year-old men and a 17-year-old girl were charged Friday with "criminal terrorist conspiracy" in the murder of French history teacher Samuel Paty, a judicial source told news agency AFP.

Paty, 47, was decapitated last month in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine after showing cartoons of Prophet Muhammad during a class discussion on freedom of speech. He was murdered by 18-year-old Abdullakh Anzorov, who was shot dead by police.

Confessions of voter fraud: 'I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots' - Top Democrat operative

voter ballot box
A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he's been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.

But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception. His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State. Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed.
