Trump Campaign Highlights 'Deeply Alarming' Election Red Flags Across the Country
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel drew
attention to “highly alarming” election red flags in a Monday press
conference. She excoriated the legacy media for overlooking these
concerns and asked reporters to interview the Americans who are worried
about the legitimacy of the election results.
“Democrats and the media want to ignore these irregularities,”
McDaniel said. She argued that if President Donald Trump were ahead in
preliminary results, legacy media outlets would refrain from calling the
election but “because it’s Biden and a very slight lead, the media
demands the race is over and there’s nothing to see here.”
McDaniel said her office has received a deluge of calls from worried
voters. “I am asking the media, interview these people, talk to these
people,” she said.
The RNC chairwoman listed many worrisome reports, mostly in Michigan.
She noted that Wayne County poll watchers have been denied the right to
observe ballot counting, she repeated reports of “blocked windows and
padlocked doors,” and “thousands of reports of poll watchers being
intimidated and unable to do their job.”
She lamented that “thousands of people who spent hours” working on
the integrity of the election “don’t feel like there was transparency.”
“Even one instance of voter fraud should be too many for all of us,” McDaniel insisted.
The RNC chairwoman referenced reports from election staffers who testified
that “they were told to backdate the ballots to November 2 or November
3” even though the ballots came in after Election Day and that other
election officials were “coaching voters to vote for Joe Biden.” She
also referenced the human error — originally reported as a “glitch” — in
Antrim County that reportedly switched 6,000 Trump votes to Biden.
“What we are seeing is deeply alarming,” McDaniel said. “We are asking the questions that many of you should.”
Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary who spoke at the
press conference in her personal capacity, noted that thousands of
out-of-state voters cast ballots in Nevada.
“What we’re asking from you right now is patience,” McEnany insisted.

It's On: Bill Barr Breaks His Silence, Sets Wheels in Motion to Pursue 'Substantial Allegations of Voter Fraud,' Irregularities
Here we go.
People have been wondering where Attorney General Bill Barr has been
with all these swirling questions of voter fraud and irregularities.
Well, wonder no longer. He’s on it and the fight is on.
He clearly thinks there’s enough smoke to pursue the issues,
authorizing prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting
irregularities from the election.
JUST IN: AG Bill Barr directs U.S. Attorneys and others to pursue allegations of voting irregularities. “While serious allegations should be handled with great care, specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries.” pic.twitter.com/Lea0bIulzr
“While serious allegations should be handled with great care,
specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a
basis for initiating federal inquiries.”
Good, then it’s hard just to dismiss the claims as media and
Democrats have been trying to do if prosecutors are formally looking
into it.
Barr declared it “imperative that the American people can trust that
our elections were conducted in such a way that the outcomes accurately
reflect the will of the voters” and that the DOJ had an obligation to
ensure that the voters could have “full confidence” in the process.
“I authorize you to pursue substantial allegations of
voting and vote tabulation irregularities prior to the certification of
elections in your jurisdictions in certain cases, as I have already done
in specific instances. Such inquiries and reviews may be conducted if
there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities
that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal
election in an individual State[…..]
While it is imperative that credible allegations be addressed in a
timely and effective manner, it is equally imperative that Department
personnel exercise appropriate caution and maintain the Department’s
absolute commitment to fairness, neutrality and non-partisanship. You
are the most senior leaders in the United States Department of Justice
and I trust you to exercise great care and judgment in addressing
allegations of voting and vote tabulation irregularities. While serious
allegations should be handled with great care, specious, speculative,
fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating
federal inquiries. Nothing here should be taken as any indication that
the Department has concluded that voting irregularities have impacted
the outcome of any election. Rather, I provide this authority and
guidance to emphasize the need to timely and appropriately address
allegations of voting irregularities so that all of the American people,
regardless of their preferred candidate or party, can have full
confidence in the results of our elections. The American people and the
leaders they freely elect deserve nothing less.
The left is already melting down, that’s how you know it’s good.
Here’s Crazy Mazie:
Bill Barr disgraces his office again by acting like Trump's consigliere -- sending US Attys on a fishing expedition to legitimatize baseless conspiracy theories.
Come Jan. 20, it will be a relief to have an AG who will uphold the rule of law on behalf of the American people. https://t.co/UqVicDAIHQ
Amid all of the election ramifications and discussions, Donald Trump Jr. outlined a thought today that has likely been on the mind of many, myself included.
I have spent a great deal of time thinking about this since the media began their insufferable onslaught and “president-elect Biden” narrative. The time has long past for President Trump to fully demand his executive cabinet members declassify the evidence outlining intrusive government surveillance upon not only himself, but all Americans.
CTH has a rather unique perspective on the declassification angle. This conversation has traveled with me for over two years as I have talked to people inside the machinery. Ultimately the discussion ends around something like this:
Is the DC political surveillance state, and all of the ramifications within that reality, so fundamentally corrupt and against our nation’s interests, that no entity dare expose the scope and depth of it? And ultimately… is it the preservation of institutions that is causing so many disconnected outcomes from evidence intentionally downplayed?
If we assume the scale of unconstitutional conduct has become systemic, that likely answers the questions. Personally, I believe this is the most likely scenario.
“Likely” meaning the entire apparatus, DOJ, FBI, Legislative Oversight and the Intelligence Community (IC), is now so enmeshed within this corrupt out-of-control state that no-one, even the good guys, is willing to expose it because the institutional collapse would be devastating.
This is what I would call the Biggest of the Big Ugly.
This catastrophic outcome, in combination with DC having made the system the primary source of their income, is what unites the Republicans and Democrats to stop anyone from exposing it. Once any elected official goes inside this system, they end up serving it.
All of that said, I have previously outlined a pre-election process for President Trump to declassify information that would lay the system naked to We The People. However, I don’t think post-election this will work, because the executive branch cabinet officers will refuse to support it. The enemies inside the gate will protect DC.
[OCTOBER 2020] Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information; and understanding the current authorization is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders are adverse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.
The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.
As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch. With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.
In anticipation of litigation:
President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:
All versions of the Carter Page FISA applications (DOJ) (FBI) (ODNI).
All of the Bruce Ohr 302’s filled out by the FBI. (FBI) (ODNI)
All of Bruce Ohr’s emails (FBI) (DOJ) (CIA) (ODNI)
All relevant documents pertaining to the supportive material within the FISA application. (FBI) (DOJ-NSD ) (DoS) (CIA) (DNI) (NSA) (ODNI);
All supportive documents and material provided by Bruce Ohr to the FBI. (FBI)
All intelligence documents that were presented to the Gang of Eight in 2016 that pertain to the FISA application used against U.S. person Carter Page; including all intelligence documents that may not have been presented to the FISA Court. (CIA) (FBI) (DOJ) (ODNI) (DoS) (NSA)
All unredacted text messages and email content between Lisa Page and Peter Strzok on all devices. (FBI) (DOJ) (DOJ-NSD) (ODNI)
The originating CIA “EC” or two-page electronic communication from former FBI Agent Peter Strzok: and all communication between former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey that started Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016. (CIA) (FBI) (ODNI)
The full and unredacted April 2017 FISA court 99-page opinion written by Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer outlining the compliance audit conducted by the NSA in 2016. (NSA) (ODNI) (DOJ) (FBI) (DOJ-NSD)
ADD TO THIS – Everything and Anything related to contracts, vendors, services and the intelligence apparatus connected to the 2020 United States election.
The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch lead intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.
The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Ratcliffe) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB). There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.
Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Ratcliffe) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.
Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.
Therefore, National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Ratcliffe) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Minority leader Kevin McCarthy, HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff, HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Richard Burr and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]
In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.
[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified document according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]
At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.
The President, no-one else, only the President, then collects the printed portfolios as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.
At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director Alyssa Farah with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.
Done.
The American people are aware…
The system will now turn immediately to destroy Donald J Trump….
Update from Andrea Widburg in The American Thinker
It’s Not 270, It’s 26-24 *UPDATED*
UPDATE from Andrea Widburg:There's even more cause for optimism. As I explained here, it's not the current House of Representatives that matters, it's the incoming House of Representatives:
Here's how that works: under the Twentieth Amendment,
congressional terms end and begin on January 3, over two
weeks before the newly elected president assumes office on January 20:
The
terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th
day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon
on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have
ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their
successors shall then begin.
G.A.H.
caught that Mr. Valentine was less optimistic than he should be and
explains why looking forward to the new House is so important:
It is the NEW 2021 Congress which would vote, and due to R house pickups Nov 3, the Democrats have just lost three delegations, and are on the verge of losing a fourth. The Democrats have now lost control of, and are now tied in:
MN (now 4R, 4D), and MI (now 7R, 7D) and PA (now 9R, 9D). IA is
presently 2R, 1D, with the fourth seat [IA CD2] now only 161 votes
apart -- if IA CD2 goes R, the final delegation split will be 27R, 20D, 3 Tied. If, on the other hand, IA CD2 goes D, then the final split will be 26R, 20D, 4 Tied.
I think this is very important,
because when people see a headline like “26-24”, some may think there
go the Republicans, trying to sneak in their ticket when the delegation
split is only 26-24, just 1 state vote. . . . . but, given that the
real split is 26-20 (or even 27-20, AND given that the Democrats just
lost control of 3 (or 4 state if IA CD2 goes R) delegations on Nov 3,
it is even more justified if the outcome of the Presidential election
eventually goes to a House vote under the 12th Amendment, particularly
since the American people just voted to take away 3 to 4 delegations
from Democrat control.
P.S.
This is also important, because in some universe it is conceivable that
a 26-24 delegation with a couple of liberal RINO R delegation flips
could possibly go Biden. Since it will actually be either 26-20 or
27-20, there is no way Biden could ever win the House voting by
delegations under the 12th Amendment, because he actually has a 6 or 7
delegation deficit, NOT merely a 2 delegation deficit....
James
Madison’s, Alexander Hamilton’s, and certainly Ben Franklin’s ghosts
are laughing as their genius in founding the Electoral College is likely
to be vindicated.
We
have a generation born to an age where civics is no longer taught,
millions of Americans do not know the difference between a
representative and a senator and too many think the Electoral College is
a land grant school west of Omaha.
They are about to get that civics lesson leftists baked out of curricula.
Trump’s
legacy is the opening of the political system to millions who never
voted before, minorities who for the first time broke Republican, and
more women Republican representatives in Congress.
The
Deplorables may not have understood raw political power, Leftist
manipulation via vote fraud conveniently covered by the media and Big
Tech. But they appear to get it now.
The
Democrats way overplayed their fraud hand. Scores of bloggers are
publishing lists of the Dead Vote. Statistical algorithms used to
identify voter fraud in third world countries, applied to this vote,
show massive fraud.
It
is only going to get uglier every day as more people come forward with
fraud testimony, photos of trucks delivering ballots, and records of
software that stops in the middle of the night.
The
mainstream media and Big Tech almost unanimously deliver the message
that “Biden won, it is time to come together, let’s move on.” That
would have worked before, but it is not going to work now.
It is not going to work because Donald Trump is not just a President. As others have said, he is “our champion.”
That changes the equation to one of a “cause” rather than an election.
There is no “coming together” when it’s a cause. Not after this kind of raw, bare fraud. No compromise here.
That dynamic, plus Trump’s fight-it-out-every-day mentality, is pretty hard to beat.
So what’s next?
Vote
fraud on the scale seen this week can hardly be quantified between
today and when the Electoral College casts its vote. Lawsuits take
time, discovery is a slow. We cannot trust our own Justice Department,
the FBI, and intelligence community who have been implicated trying to
destroy the current President.
There is legal proof and common-sense proof.
Legal
proof may take a bit but the common-sense measurement showing massive
fraud is off the charts, and it is only five days after the election.
There’s plenty more to come.
Biden
is at 290 Electoral College votes, with the 20 from Pennsylvania
looking more wobbly daily as even the Pennsylvania legislature has begun
hearings. The Supreme Court is pretty much on record that those 20 are
far from in the bag.
The fights in Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Minnesota and other states go on.
Most, perhaps all, of the states in question have Republican legislatures – both houses.
Many
state legislators are the farm team waiting for that shot at Congress
or becoming a governor or attorney general. They are politicians, and
politicians, of any party, always have an eye on the next prize.
Then
there is MAGA-nation. 71 million voters who are about to get a civics
lesson that their state legislators can certify this obvious electoral
fraud by certifying the current fraudulent vote or they can put in their
own electors, or they can just choose to sit it out.
But there is another the next step.
Let’s
go there. America was here before. It was Rutherford B. Hayes against
Samuel Tilden. Nobody had enough Electoral College votes, so it went
to Congress to decide. The history of what happened is interesting.
State legislators in seven or eight key states, not the court, not the governor, choose the electors.
When
the Deplorables learn that the guy next door who is a state rep, or
their insurance agent who is a state senator, certifies this election
fraud, do you think they might just make a call?
Republican
legislatures are inhabited by many of the same craven political hacks
who then move on to Congress. They care about only one thing: getting
elected.
It is rumored that archeologists tested bones of 18th-century
politicians to see exactly when and where the “courage gene” was
eliminated from their genome sequence. They believe it may not have
ever existed.
State
legislatures in six or seven or more states, run by Republicans, have a
choice: certify an election that was clearly fraudulent, certify a
different slate of electors who will vote against the popular, but
fraudulent vote, or just fail to certify.
My bet is several may choose option 3. If even one state or two fail to certify, the election goes to Congress.
What
Republican state legislator wants to see MAGA-nation pillory them with
“…Jack’s vote put Joe Biden in office!” The thousands of Trump rally
attendees in Butler, Pennsylvania, acting in one voice, calling state
reps and senators. Just think of what fun it would be!
Big
Media, Big Tech, Facebook, none of it matters to that anonymous state
rep or state senator. They are painfully visible to their
constituents. They see their voters daily at the grocery store, in
church, at the Kiwanis Club.
It
is said that all politics is local. It just got very local for this
presidential election and there are unlikely to be many state reps or
state senators who want to have 71 million MAGA-nation Deplorables
targeting them.
Why
not let Congress decide? The legislator can be a hero to his or her
constituents while they dodge a certain electoral bullet in the next
election.
Congress gets to vote -- each state, one vote. Wyoming and California, each one vote.
Pretty fast, the new election math goes from 270, path to victory, to 26 -24, Trump wins.
Don’t Jump Off That Ledge. This Is Just a Blue Smokescreen
By Sarah Hoyt • Nov 08, 2020
So, yesterday, at my monthly dinner with my fans and commenters on my blog, I found out that I’m not alone.
What am I not alone in?
In having slept like cr*p since Tuesday and eaten even worse. I’ve been living on popcorn and coffee, which, to be fair, is what I lived on in college. I’m sleeping about three hours a night and dreaming of catastrophic headlines, until waking up more tired than I went to bed.
I’ve been alternating between angry and depressed, and frankly, from what I saw of my fans and commenters, I’m not alone.
And then today I went to Facebook, and lately, they’ve been doing this thing of pushing all sorts of outright propaganda at me. This one was an article about the great future of reconciliation (and truth tribunals) once Joe Biden takes over. And there at the end, almost invisible, was one line: based on projected results.
Oh, projected results, is it? According to whom and why? The mass media? The same people who’ve been projecting a blue wave for half a year now? The same people who pushed their projection that two million people would die of COVID-19? THOSE projections?
I realized what I was looking at, and suddenly I’m not depressed anymore.
I’m still angry, though. I’m angry at the left for their staggering chutzpah and their treasonous attempt to stab at the heart of the republic, and I’m a little angry at all you zombies (Heinlein reference) out there who bought and are buying into it, and yes, that includes me till about two hours ago.
So, why did that make everything click for me?
Well, guys, think about it. The stuff going on with the voting is inky as all get-out. We all saw it happen in real-time.
And it’s not just the rumors, oh no. My friend, Larry Correia, who used to be a forensic accountant and is now a bestselling writer, wrote a post about all the anomalies with the vote count.
There are a lot of other posts about this, ranging from the wishy-washy “mistakes were obviously made” to the reasonable “look, guys, we know that precincts don’t vote in those proportions, ever” to the out-there fringe “secret watermarks on real ballots.” But Larry brings it all together and ties it with a bow, and it’s done with the kind of analytical mind that dissects why the whole thing smells to high heavens. Some of the things he linked have been changed; in the comments, you’ll find the waybackmachine links to those. Because, yeah, they’re changing the record, since, for the left, 1984 is a how-to manual.
This doesn’t even include the people dual-registered and voting in both California and Arizona brought up in this article. Oh, and apparently the software update issue was in other places, too.
That second article is what finished making me sure we were witnessing a leftist psyops.
You know how they kept talking about the red mirage? Well, this is the blue smokescreen.
It’s not really very convincing, and you can kind of squint through it and see the antifa goons looking all sad-faced, and how the low-info lefties are going to be disappointed like the kiddies who got a healthy snack for Halloween. Honestly, guys, if you look at this the right way, you’ll still be hopping mad, but you have to have a heart of steel not to laugh like a hyena.
Things are bad for the Dems. Really bad.
You see, they thought that they had frauded (totally a word) enough in advance, and the polls assured them they were doing fine. Then, come Election Day, that darn Trump pulled off a landslide election, and they had to stoop to counting and do their best to manufacture more votes ASAP.
Unlike their normal fraud operation (more on that later), this was clumsy and in your face, and we all saw that improbable curve on our screens and went “that just ain’t right.”
Do I have proof they normally fraud? Well, only my lying eyes, when in 2012 I saw 1/3 of the people coming to vote at the poll I was observing being told they’d already voted, and being told in some Denver precincts that the percentage was 2/3. Must be a lot of amnesia going around, right?
Now is this general? Well, there is some reason to believe it is. If nothing else, the fact that the right has made a meme out of “beating the margin of fraud.”
However, the right didn’t want to undermine confidence in our elections, and kept lumping it.
Until Trump. Trump broke the system by being a totally unexpected win, which the left will never forgive. They thought they had it in the bag.
Because they project like IMAX they immediately decided he had cheated with the complicity of the Russians, which, BTW, is one of the most ridiculous just-so stories they could have invented, given how Trump’s policies are far worse for Russia, whose main product is oil, than Obama’s were, what with throttling domestic production.
But this year? This year the left ran what can only be called a Potemkin campaign. And they could only get away with it because of having put most of the nation on lockdown.
And then, to cap it all, they had… what was it that Biden said aloud instead of keeping to himself? The most extensive fraud network in American history? Something like that.
To facilitate it, of course, they mailed everyone unsolicited mail-in ballots in several states, which, as we know, is a crazy-unsecure form of voting.
This on top of the ability to fraud from Motor-Voter, which allows people to sign up to vote who aren’t citizens and sometimes tries to sign them up to vote even when they get their driver’s license with a foreign passport. (Note this is not the only instance of this I’ve heard of, but it is the one I know how to find online. Some of them were published when Motor-Voter was new and shiny, before the net was a thing I could even access.)
So. They committed stupendous levels of fraud. And Trump attracted way more votes than before.
Hence, they were caught, in the middle of the night and then for four days, allegedly madly fabricating votes in instances too numerous to tell. And also discarding a record number of votes in ditches, etc.
Which—
Which is how we get to where we are. The right is mad as hell. We have reason to be. And the left is terrified. Or at least those in the know are terrified.
This wasn’t the normal, carefully planned, subtle fraud. This was fraud created the same way that one breaks into a bank with two sticks of dynamite, instead of picking at the lock.
Such fraud leaves traces. If we look into it we’ll find them. And once we find them, even some secure blue states with all vote-by-mail will be looked at.
And when Trump wins, despite all this nonsense (yes, the left will riot. But that will be different from the last year, how?), and things are looked into, they might lose their permanent fiefdoms created by “all vote-by-mail” states. And then what?
I mean, they had to go the extra mile, because Trump is already on the verge of revealing a lot of their fraud, and now they went and made it worse.
Fall back into what worked before: A massive psyops. Convince the left all is lost, and it’s shameful that Trump hasn’t conceded yet, and get the whole process stopped, and win, and then stop all the investigations into Russiagate and Hunter and—
So, that’s what they’re doing.
And it’s why we have losers like Keith Olberman demanding someone drag Trump from office, right now, which doesn’t even make any sense.
They’re scared.
Oh, not the sheep on the streets. They fell for it, just like they fell for “two million dead from covid.” But the higher-ups, they’re scared.
Years ago, during the ’04 election, a friend told me the Democrats always get louder and more triumphalist when they’re losing. I’ve observed this is true, since then.
So, step down from the ledge. Go take a shower. Have some real food. Eat a vegetable. Ease up on the coffee. Go for a walk.
And don’t fall for the blue smokescreen. And DO NOT abandon Trump. He’s got this, if you guys don’t stab him in the back. He’s got this all the way. Let him play it.
Yes, the Republic is in danger, and yes, things can still go wrong because a lot of the institutions are corrupted.
But the left is covered in flop sweat. They don’t think they’re going to win this.
At least they won’t if you don’t let them into your head.
Be not afraid. In the end, we win, they lose.
And then we clean up our voting system.
But first of all, stop being depressed. Angry is okay. You should be angry. But not depressed. Chances are we’ll be okay. And if we’re not? Well, then we’ll deal with it.
But it starts with not letting the left in your head. Remember that. And don’t get up on the ledge again.
Without President Trump Conceding The Election Biden Has No Access To Government Funding For His Transition Team
By Nemesis
CNBC is reporting the Covid-19 transition team has zero funds without President Trump conceding the election, nor does any of Biden's teams. Pay close attention to the beginning of the video and what is said.
It seems Biden has no access to ANYTHING until President Trump concedes the race...they can't even talk to the administration. I'll bet that has Sleepy Joe in a knot....
But according to the reporting Biden isn't doing anything more than Trump's plan for relief and management of the virus.
Biden is walking into a Covid-19 plan that has already been established. He's doing nothing. Except predicting doom and gloom...with excessive spending.
Perhaps Trump should wait until the Electoral College declares a winner to concede...in December.
The inability of Fox News and the Republican Party to deliver a victory to us as we consume our politics in the comfort of our own homes scandalizes us.
The only reason any of us on the Right has any concept of the discrepancies between the reality of the vote count and the narrative that Fox News and other media outlets are presenting is due to a small army of hardworking independent journalists active mostly on Twitter and in alternative media. These political animals refuse to accept the official narrative, and are venturing into the political sphere to find out for themselves what is going on. This is what self-rule looks like.
Those of us who are scandalized by this election need to ask ourselves some uncomfortable questions: what are we doing to help new media outlets and independent journalists who are doing the hard work for us?
In the months leading up to this election, did we familiarize ourselves with the voting and election laws in our states, and especially with the changes that were happening as the Democrats sued to make voting laws more conducive to their efforts? We had plenty of warning. Going forward, what can we do in our own cities and states to reform voting laws and work to change the Left’s stranglehold over the election process in key cities?
Politics as a spectator sport is not going to get it done. Part of the awakening happening on the Right is a slow realization that lack of participation, lack of any real political action, will result in an eventual loss of our institutions and freedoms.
Regardless of legality, what is happening right now in Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Phoenix is real political action. Papering up the windows so that your opponent cannot watch as you count ballots is political action. These shenanigans in the field cannot be countered by national think tanks, theoretically friendly news channels, or even national party leaders. This kind of political warfare can only be fought by political action on our side: volunteering at voting locations, volunteering to observe and keep the process clean, and fielding forceful and decent candidates at the state and city level in order to have official eyes on this process.
Consuming politics in the same way we root for our favorite sports teams is comfortable. Watching Fox News or listening to talk radio is enjoyable, and it feels like political action. We flatter ourselves that we are an informed, self-governing people because we keep track of politics with traditional media outlets. The past week has—or should have—removed this comfortable illusion.
In the end, we have merely been consumers of these goods, pretending that our consumption is “making a difference.” We give money to lots of conservative causes—how many of them have any power to do anything to ensure the legality of this election?
Real political action takes time and sacrifice. Self-rule—self government—is much more difficult than spectator politics. It’s especially difficult for working people with families or small businesses to run.
The Left is at a natural advantage in retail politics, because their political philosophy attracts childless drones with extra money and time on their hands to run for city council or volunteer at the polls. The political philosophy of the Right produces toddlers and profit and loss statements. In addition to this natural disadvantage, the Left is also flush with cash from corporations, billionaires, foreign governments, and special interests. The reality is that the Left can afford to pay its political actors. The Right—the real party of the working class—is dependent upon volunteers.
Disappointment with Fox News and with the validity of this election process, and disillusionment with the American political system is right and just. We should feel disillusioned. But shock and scandal at the impotence of our news channel, our political party is, in reality, disillusionment with ourselves. We are a self-governing people and we feel like we have no say in our government. Whose fault is that?
This election year has taught us that politics has the power to change everything in our lives: whether we can make money, whether we are allowed to do business, whether and in what way our children can be educated, whether we can gather with our families in our own homes, whether we can eat in restaurants or go on vacation. “Election Week” brings with it a new sense of helplessness. Are our elections honest? Do we really have a say in our government? How can our political movement survive with every large media organization, labor union, political machine, and monied corporate interest working against us?
The answer to these questions is political action. Not political consumption, where we watch eagerly and root for our team to win. Not street politics and riots, where we have public tantrums because we feel that the laws and customs of this country are against us but we are too impatient or impotent to do the difficult work of marching back through our institutions and passing laws, electing candidates, and effecting political change.
We need real political action, where we volunteer and run for local office, where we do the work to identify honest independent journalists and citizen reporters and fund them and their work. Where we research voting laws and practices in our state before important elections and work to make them more conducive to self-government. We must show up at the polls—not just to vote, but also to work, observe, and oversee.
We get out there and we do it. We don’t wait for a national figure and a national media and a national movement to do it for us as we watch. We do it.
