Democrat indicted for vote fraud in Virginia

MSNA grand jury report is revealing new details about the investigation into Buchanan County Supervisor Trey Adkins.

Adkins has been charged with 82 felony counts, including election fraud and embezzlement.

Adkins has been indicted on 34 counts of false statement - election fraud, 11 counts of absentee voting procedure violation, 8 counts of public embezzlement, 11 counts of forgery of public record, 15 counts of uttering public record, and 3 counts of conspiracy to make false statement - election fraud.

I had to work very hard to find a news article willing to say what political party the indicted man belongs to. Most completely ignored the story. Those that didn't ignore it, didn't mention his party. The exceptions were the usual more right leaning sources, but not Fox news; not a peep from them.

Veritas exposes fake news reporting on Jan 6th

Project Veritas via ZerohedgeProject Veritas published a bombshell video on Tuesday showing Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times correspondent, Matthew Rosenberg, speaking about the events of January 6, 2021, in a way that contradicts his own reporting.

Rosenberg, who covers national security matters for the Times says on the undercover video that “there were a ton of FBI informants among the people who attacked the Capitol.”

This revelation is a break from Rosenberg’s reporting on the matter where he characterized such a notion of FBI informants in the crowd as a “reimagining of Jan. 6.”

This was not the only time Rosenberg’s commentary to Project Veritas’ undercover reporter directly contradicted his own published words. Despite telling a Veritas journalist that January 6 was “no big deal,” his article says that downplaying the events of that day was “the next big lie.”

This has been obvious for some time, but the admission is nice.

NYTimes admits Biden's laptop is real

GreenwaldWhat this means is that, in the crucial days leading up to the 2020 presidential election, most of the corporate media spread an absolute lie about The New York Post's reporting [on the Hunter Biden laptop] in order to mislead and manipulate the American electorate. It means that Big Tech monopolies, along with Twitter, censored this story based on a lie from “the intelligence community.” It means that Facebook's promise from its DNC operative that it would suppress discussion of the reporting in order to conduct a "fact-check” of these documents was a fraud because if an honest one had been conducted, it would have proven that Facebook’s censorship decree was based on a lie. It means that millions of Americans were denied the ability to hear about reporting on the candidate leading all polls to become the next president, and instead were subjected to a barrage of lies about the provenance (Russia did it) and authenticity (disinformation!) of these documents.

This probably also explains Biden's recent comments about being blackmailed.

The New York Post's accurate reporting on this laptop got their newspaper (and many others who just linked to the story) banned from Twitter.

Fake Hate

PJMediaThe entire SIU Edwardsville campus apparatus was deployed to mitigate the damage to the students’ psyches. Police, housing, the campus EEOC office, Title IX officials, and even the Secret Service immediately sprang into action to soothe students and punish the perpetrator.

The white student was cleared, and we now know who the perpetrator is, according to charging documents.

The perpetrator, it turns out, is also the victim.

These days, I just assume "hate crimes" committed against black people or Muslims are fake. That just seems to be the way to bet. Asians and Jews do seem to get real hate crimes, which I'm sure doesn't thrill them.

NYTimes caught altering its own printed words

QuilletteThe history of the American Revolution isn’t the only thing the New York Times is revising through its 1619 Project. The “paper of record” has also taken to quietly altering the published text of the project itself after one of its claims came under intense criticism.

This doesn't surprise me a bit; the left has been memory-holing their mistakes for quite a long time. But occasionally it is necessary to point out just how dishonest even the "respected" press organs can be.

"If we don't do it now, if we don't address the cost of childcare... if we don't address the climate crisis, if we don't ensure that universal pre-k is a reality now, we're not going to have the same opportunity to do it for some time."

About the false-flag operation on Jan 6th...

Gateway PunditReeder was about to get a light sentence this week after telling the judge he is “not a Trump supporter” and because of this he demanded a light sentence. And he was about to get a very small sentence with an excellent plea deal because of this.

But then a video turned up before his sentencing of Robert Reeder attacking police on Jaunary 6th.

It turns out he was shouting at the crowd extremely violent rhetoric while loosely wearing a MAGA hat to make the real Trump supporters appear violent by association. Reeder was the typical Biden agitator who wanted to interrupt the Republican objections inside the Capitol. And he wanted to frame Trump supporters as violent insurrectionists.

For the record, there were Antifa gatherings at the various monuments on Jan. 6 that were organized by John Sullivan.

Disgusting. But to the Democrats, useful.

Fake News to influence elections

Legal InsurrectionThe Los Angeles Times covered the racist egging attack on Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder. One woman wore a gorilla mask.

The publication used a photo that makes it look like Elder is slapping a woman instead of a picture from the attack.

The headline made it sound like Elder had a part in the attack: “LAPD is investigating altercation at Venice homeless encampment.”

There's a recall election running in California. One of the candidates is Larry Elder, a well-known (for his radio talk show) black Republican. Recently, he was attacked by a (white) woman in a gorilla mask throwing eggs. (Surely the gorilla mask is indicative of racism?)

And the LA Times reports on the story with a picture of Elder touching a woman's face; not the same woman, it should be noted, who threw an egg at him. Anyone who reads the headline and sees the picture will assume Elder was slapping the innocent woman. They'll have no idea that it was Elder who was attacked.

And that is very obviously deliberate deception by the LA Times.

There are no real hate crimes

Legal InsurrectionTennessee’s now-former vaccine chief Michelle Fiscus claims she ran afoul of Republican state officials by urging teens as young as 14 to get vaccinated without parental consent.

In the brouhaha leading up to her eventual firing for “poor interpersonal communication skills, ineffective management and attempting to steer state money to a nonprofit she founded,” Fiscus claimed to have received a dog muzzle from Amazon.

She claims to have taken it as a message that she shut up about vaccinations. It has now been revealed by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security who investigated the incident that Fiscus sent the muzzle to herself via a secondary Amazon account using her personal American Express card.

All alleged hate crimes are to be assumed fake until proven otherwise. Unless terrorism... wait, no, not unless terrorism anymore.

The body of Christopher Sign, 45, was found in his Birmingham, Alabama apartment on Saturday morning around 8 a.m. His death is being investigated as a suicide, according to police Lt. Keith Czeskleba.

The idea that someone who badly damaged Hillary's political ambitions would "commit suicide" a few years later seems like a very suspicious event. I hope this death is thoroughly investigated by an honest and courageous police officer.

Trump did NOT clear protesters from park for a photo op

Conservative TreehouseIn May and June of 2020 Antifa and Black Lives Matter protestors were rioting all over Washington DC, attempting to destroy statues, looting businesses and lighting fires. The Mayor of DC allowed the protestors space to destroy the city. The epicenter of the left-wing rioting and violence was Lafayette park, across the street from the White House.

Thus began a major controversial narrative in June of last year as the media and democrats decried how the U.S. Park Police cleared protestors from Lafayette Park shortly before President Trump walked to St. John’s church. The media shouted that President Trump told park police to fire tear gas into the crowd and dispurse the protesters in any manner or method. However the report today [pdf here] shows President Trump had nothing to do with it. It was all lies, all of it.

Despite what all the news talking heads told you at the time.

Mind you, (some of) the protesters were trying to burn down a church, so clearing them out was entirely appropriate. It just wasn't a decision Trump had anything to do with.

A full explanation of the Windham date discrepencies

Granite GrokThe forensic audit for the Windham November general election mandated all of the ballots be fed through all of the voting machines. They were. In order to simulate the general election, the machines had to be reset to 11/03/20 before the ballots were fed through the machines. They were.

But… that is a misleading statement.

Read the whole thing.

The bottom line is, the one machine which behaved strangely on election day had its date set to 11/5/20 (after the election) instead of the correct date (11/3/20). This means any specific election coding based on the date of the election would not run, and this corresponds exactly to a method demonstrated by the very person auditing the machines for hacking an election. Hursti, the auditor, cannot claim ignorance as he was the very person who demonstrated the technique a decade ago on the very same model of machine.

Changing the date in that fashion means that if the audit gives the machines a clean bill of health, the audit cannot be trusted and the auditors are covering up what they found. Hursti can only restore his credibility by reporting, honestly, that he found something unusual on the malfunctioning machine and investigated it by changing the date and rerunnning the election to see if the problem reoccurred.

To repeat: any claim of properly functioning machines is now disproven. The audit must report on the date change and unusual data found on the data card for machine #2 or be discredited.

Fake News about coronavirus statistics in Florida

National ReviewThis is a story about Rebekah Jones, a former dashboard manager at the Florida Department of Health (FDOH), who has single-handedly managed to convince millions of Americans that Governor Ron DeSantis has been fudging the state’s COVID-19 data.

When I write “single-handedly,” I mean it, for Jones is not one of the people who have advanced this conspiracy theory but rather is the person who has advanced this conspiracy theory. It has been repeated by others, sure: by partisans across the Internet, by unscrupulous Florida Democrats such as Nikki Fried and Charlie Crist, and on television, by MSNBC in particular. But it flows from a single place: Rebekah Jones. To understand that is to understand the whole game. This is about Jones, and Jones alone. If she falls, it falls.

And boy does it deserve to fall.

Funny how everyone in the media was so desperate to use her claims to attack Republicans (Trump and DeSantis) for keeping Florida open, rather than investigating her claims.

Video released of officers allowing protesters into the Capitol

ZerohedgeOne officer, identified in the video and confirmed by charging documents as Officer Keith Robishaw, appears to tell Chansely’s group they won’t stop them from entering the building. “We’re not against . . . you need to show us . . . no attacking, no assault, remain calm,” Robishaw warns. Chansley and another protestor instruct the crowd to act peacefully. “This has to be peaceful,” Chansley yelled. “We have the right to peacefully assemble.”

The video directly contradicts what government prosecutors allege in a complaint filed January 8 against Chansley: “Robishaw and other officers calmed the protestors somewhat and directed them to leave the area from the same way they had entered. Chansley approached Officer Robishaw and screamed, among other things, that this was their house, and that they were there to take the Capitol, and to get Congressional leaders.”

Chansley later is seen entering the Senate chambers with a police officer behind him; he led several protesters in prayer and sat in Vice President Mike Pence’s chair. (The man in the yellow sweatshirt is William Watson, a drug dealer out on bond. He was arrested in January.)

The police let them in.

Any charges related to trespassing should be immediately dropped.

Any prisoners still being held should be immediately released.

The only person murdered during the protest was Ashli Babbit. She was shot by a police officer without warning while unarmed.

Paying social media influencers to push the vaccine

Michelle MalkinOne Instagram star and fashion blogger with 409,000 followers, South Carolina entrepreneur Whitney Rife Becker, spilled the beans on how “two vaccine campaigns paying thousands of dollars” had contacted her to “go and get the vaccine and record it and take a selfie while getting the vaccine.” She was asked to tell her followers how “excited” she was to take the vaccine and to gush about “how much she would be able to do” once she submitted to her shots. She was promised that an unnamed entity would “put money behind” her Instagram videos or photo posts if she boosted the COVID vaccine.

Becker rejected the offers, but many others have accepted the bribery. Sometimes, the quid pro quos mean cash. In other cases, the rewards mean VIP treatment. In Florida, Miami’s Jackson Health System threw vaccine parties for social media influencers who agreed to write positive posts or produce videos about getting the Pfizer vaccine. While there was “no payment made to any influencer,” the Internet stars and their “plus ones” moved to the head of the vaccine appointment line. “Each influencer will be allowed to bring one spouse, partner, or relative who meets Florida’s eligibility requirement” to the party, health officials informed a select group of social media stars.

Joe Smyser, the head of a nonprofit called “Public Good Projects,” told Politico his outfit pays “microinfluencers” to post about getting the COVID vaccine and compensates them “anywhere between tens to hundreds of dollars.” The Oklahoma City-County Health Department has paid 35 young social media stars undisclosed sums to post government-approved COVID vaccine content and convince their peers that they need the shots to return to “normal” life.

This is how "news" is made and "public opinion" is shaped.

NPR corrects story about Biden's laptop, admits laptop could be his

Just The NewsNational Public Radio has corrected a story about Hunter Biden that stated the U.S. intelligence community had discredited stories about a laptop he left at a repair shop and that perhaps had information about his overseas business dealings.

The correction was made on Thursday in a story about a recently published memoir by Biden, the son of President Biden, titled "Beautiful Things."

Now that the election is over, they are in a rush to admit all the things so that they will be old news by the time the next election rolls around. And also, the usual sequence: don't print the claims for as long as possible, then print the story that they have been discredited on the front page, then print the correction 6 months later buried in the middle of a book review no one will read.

Gateway PunditOne Capitol Police officer died and another was injured after a suspect rammed a vehicle into a police barricade outside the Capitol building Friday afternoon and exited his vehicle with a knife.

The killer, later identified as Noah Green, was shot dead by police at the scene. Noah Green is a devout Muslim and follower of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

On Friday night Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe told Wolf Blitzer on CNN that Friday’s attack on the Capitol was “one of the results” of the Jan. 6 riot.

As soon as I saw news of this attack I figured the Democrat-Media complex would be using it to try to scare up more paranoia about insurrectionists and Trump followers. And in fact McCabe is trying to do just that -- despite the race, religion, and likely political views of the attacker.

I expect we'll find out later on that the FBI was aware of the danger this man represented and failed to do anything about it. That seems to be the pattern.

Intel community report on election interference

Conservative TreehouseToday, literally hours after congress votes to certify the election results, that very same DNI report is now delivered to congress.

Buried inside an article noting that politically motivated intelligence officers intentionally withheld information about China’s active involvement in the 2020 election, we find this sentence: “The intelligence community’s classified assessment on foreign influence in the 2020 election … was also submitted to Congress on Thursday.”

They submitted the report within hours of the electoral college vote being counted, meaning that it was being deliberately withheld prior to that for political purposes. Yet another act of treason by the intelligence agencies against the president.

Washington ExaminerPoliticization problems exist in U.S. spy agency assessments on foreign influence in the 2020 U.S. election, including analysts who appeared to hold back information on Chinese meddling efforts because they disagreed with the Trump administration's policies, according to an intelligence community inspector.

“Given analytic differences in the way Russia and China analysts examined their targets, China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. The analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tend to disagree with the administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies,” Zulauf concluded, saying this behavior violated analytic standards requiring independence from political considerations.

It sounds like they left out a lot from what they did submit, too.

The newspaper has reassigned its star terrorism reporter, Rukmini Callimachi, who hosted the series.

Note: they "reassigned" him instead of firing him.

Faking vaccines?

KTSMSome of our viewers raised questions about video KTSM 9 News showed from Tuesday’s COVID-19 vaccine injections at University Medical Center of El Paso, specifically the second vaccine that was administered.

In our video, you can see the UMC health care worker with his sleeve rolled up, but when it comes time for the injection, it appears that the person administering the shot doesn’t push down on the plunger — the plunger looks like it is already depressed.

Some eagle-eyed KTSM 9 News viewers wondered if the worker received the vaccine at all.

“After numerous reports emerged on social media claiming one of the five nurses receiving a vaccination on Tuesday did not receive a full dose of vaccine, we want to remove any doubt raised that he was not fully vaccinated and further strengthen confidence in the vaccination process,” UMC said in a statement to KTSM. “The nurse in question today was vaccinated again. UMC has confirmed with the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) that re-vaccinating the nurse will not cause adverse effects. The nurse will need to return after three weeks to receive his second dose.”

... if he was really vaccinated the first time, he wouldn't need to be vaccinated "again". I have no idea why this place would stage a vaccination, but they clearly did. Maybe it was for some innocuous (heh heh heh) reason. Whatever the reason and intent, it damages their credibility and the credibility of the people desperately pushing a vaccine for a disease most people barely notice.

And speaking of lost credibility, note that they aren't going to broadcast their volunteers' second sticking, just promise that he got one without showing any proof.

For a good roundup of potential problems with the vaccine, see here. While these are all in the realm of potential problems (with the exception of possible fertility issues, for which there is evidence in similar viruses, making is more than just speculative), the insane rush towards applying this vaccine to everyone makes my risk-management antenna twitch like mad.

Mayor of London also faked getting his vaccine.

Media censorship of election disputes

NewsmaxAT&T Inc.’s WarnerMedia, the parent of CNN and other cable networks, rejected two ads from President Trump’s campaign that attacked the election results, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The ads were to “inform viewers of the widespread corruption that occurred in the 2020 election,” the campaign said, citing claims about “suitcases of Biden ballots, dead people voting and money-for-vote schemes.”

Just to make this clear: Trump hasn't proven his claims yet, but he has the right to make them in public.

Fake News

Irons in the FireWhite House correspondent April Ryan raised eyebrows on Friday after she appeared to endorse the idea that journalists shouldn't reveal contradictions between President-elect Joe Biden's public and private statements.

On Thursday, Ryan appeared to express disapproval that a recording of Biden claiming "defund the police" rhetoric hurt down-ballot Democrats in last month's elections was leaked to The Intercept, which duly reported on it.

"I asked an incoming White House source was the meeting contentious with civil rights leader and @JoeBiden and the answer was 'no'. A rights leader at the meeting says @JoeBiden was passionate," Ryan tweeted. "The question is who taped this meeting and why? What is the agenda?"

Media censorship

Reclaim The NetA fresh study into Twitter’s mass censorship of President Trump over the last couple of years has revealed that tweets from Trump and his campaign have been restricted a staggering 436 times between May 31, 2018 and December 7, 2020.

The study was conducted by media watchdog Media Research Center (MRC) and found that 111 of these censored tweets (around 25% of the total tweets) were flagged between November 30, 2020 and December 7, 2020.

Youtube to begin banning accounts that contest the election results

PJMediaThe Trump legal team still has active challenges to the election results in several states. Mike Kelly et al. v. Pennsylvania, et al. and Texas v. Pennsylvania, et al. are two pending cases before the Supreme Court. There are many, many witnesses who have signed affidavits alleging voter fraud in various states.

But, according to YouTube, you don’t have a right to see that evidence or be told that fraud even occurred. Your ability to view content and make your own decision about the evidence is superseded by their desire to keep you in the dark about not just mere allegations, but evidence as well. Will YouTube not allow live streaming of hearings alleging ballot fraud too? Should the Supreme Court take up any of the current challenges, will any coverage related to those challenges be allowed on their platform?

There is an increasing air of desperation to their demands that we shut up.

Newly discovered security footage from Georgia’s State Farm Arena showed dozens of ballot counters, media, and Republican observers leaving en masse at the same time from the ballot-counting area for Fulton County. After they left, a small remnant of about four workers began pulling trunks containing thousands of ballots from underneath a table with a long tablecloth and running them through machines.

There are no excess deaths in 2020

Behind The BlackA new analysis of the 2020 death statistics in the United States has revealed that despite the panic over COVID-19, the total number of deaths in all age groups — including the elderly — showed no change before or after the arrival of the virus.

This bears repeating, in bold and italics: There have been no excess deaths in 2020.

It appears that either a) COVID killed everyone who would have died anyway, or b) a lot of people who died from normal causes had COVID incorrectly listed on their death certificate, or c) both.

UPDATE: Johns Hopkins took down the study. Not because it was wrong but because they didn't like that people noticed and shared it because it went against the narrative of covid terror.

12 best claims of voter fraud

Just The NewsWhile many Democrats and their allies in the traditional media argue there is no evidence of systemic voting irregularities in the Nov. 3 election, a mountain of evidence has been amassed in private lawsuits alleging there was, in fact, significant and widespread voting misconduct.

The question for the courts is whether the irregularities were widespread enough to impact the outcome or erase Joe Biden's lead in at least three of the six battleground states where results are being contested.

And while both President Trump's campaign and private entities like the Amistad Project are planning to file more lawsuits on Monday, Just the News reviewed the scores of filings and affidavits and declarations in the court cases.

Here are the 12 most compelling pieces of evidence presented to the courts as of Sunday night

Another example of Fox News turning to the left

Fox NewsJones made the remark online after retweeting a reporter from The Washington Post who shared a story by the Miami Herald about DeSantis backing “anti-mob” legislation that would bolster Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law. Unique to self-defense laws in other states, the statute does not require a person to retreat before using deadly force to prevent bodily harm to themselves or others or to prevent a felony.

The bolded portion above is a lie.

National Conference of State LegislaturesLaws in at least 25 states allow that there is no duty to retreat an attacker in any place in which one is lawfully present. (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.) At least ten of those states include language stating one may “stand his or her ground.” (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Carolina.)

So why the blatantly false editorializing in your news article, Fox?

ZerohedgeRichard Stengel, the top state media appointee for US President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team (namely, the official US Agency for Global Media), has enthusiastically defended the use of propaganda against Americans.

"My old job at the State Department was what people used to joke as the chief propagandist," Stengel said in 2018. "I’m not against propaganda. Every country does it, and they have to do it to their own population. And I don’t necessarily think it’s that awful."

Between a rock and a hard place

Fox NewsPresidential historian Jon Meacham was reportedly let go as an MSNBC contributor after he apparently failed to disclose to the network that he was a speechwriter for President-elect Joe Biden, including the victory speech he gave on Saturday night.

Sources told The New York Times that Meacham had been "playing a larger role than was previously known" behind the scenes, "both writing drafts of speeches and offering edits on many of Mr. Biden’s big addresses, including one he gave at Gettysburg last month and his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention."

Biden campaign press secretary TJ Ducklo told the Times, “President-elect Joe Biden wrote the speech he delivered to the American people on Saturday night” but that "given the significance of the speech, he consulted a number of important, and diverse, voices as part of his writing process, as he often does.”

So. MSNBC employed a speechwriter for Joe Biden and didn't bother to mention it until after the election. Well, ok. We know they are biased, this is like calling out one specific turd in a dog park. We know there are turds there, why is this one special? Well, special enough to get stuffed into a plastic bag and thrown out, apparantly.

But I'm especially amused by the comments from the Biden campaign that Biden "wrote the speech he delivered."

Biden is famous for plagiarizing speeches.

And apparently this MSNBC employee got fired for writing the speech that Biden wrote himself.

Media suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story swung the election

PJMediaA Media Research Center (MRC) poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates found that 36 percent of Biden voters were not aware of the evidence behind claims that Joe Biden was personally involved in his son Hunter’s business deals with China. Thirteen percent of those voters (4.6 percent of Biden’s total vote) said that if they had known the facts, they would not have voted for Biden.

Such a shift away from Biden would have given Trump the election, according to MRC’s analysis of the preliminary — and contested — election results predicting a Biden win. Had the Biden-China story seen the light of day, Trump would have won the election with 289 electoral votes.

Of course it did.

The problem is how to answer it.

Good news may be coming

American ThinkerSo today, I started to dig into the numbers, and as I did, I fought my confirmation bias at every step.

I realized that I, like millions of others, had been numbed into despondency by the overwhelming press, media, social media push to certify President-Elect Biden. (I put that in there so you can see how repellent it is.)

Hey guys, this thing is not only not over; it is scary for Biden. I mean really scary, and most of all, the media know it. Thus, the rush to get everyone in line with the narrative that a 78-year-old, early-dementia former V.P., who could not draw a crowd larger than a dozen, just beat D.J. in a fair election.

Process that for a moment.

This is what I have been hammering all along. Media calls mean nothing. We have a legal process to go through, and Trump still has multiple paths to victory. Yes, they depend on court challenges, but the most obvious of those is a relatively safe bet and already before the Supreme Court (PA).

So why the media blitz and the frantic censorship?

It's not aimed at We The People; we've voted. It's aimed at Trump and his advisors. It's designed to force a concession before the court battle.

Because they know their fraud will not stand up to a forensic audit of the results.

Maybe the lawsuits and audits and recounts can find enough to discern what the People actually voted for, and maybe not, but I think it is inevitable that they will find enough to tar a Biden presidency in a way that even massive censorship cannot cover up.

Trump's role is simple: Refuse to concede. Fight in court. Flip PA, and the media pressure drops as it is suddenly up in the air again.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings, and Hillary ain't even been arrested yet.

Saturday morning at 11:45AM, while President Trump was off playing golf, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the AP, and USA Today, virtually in unison as if operating on some sort of pre-arranged cue, all made the call for Joe Biden with Fox News joining them all of ten minutes later.

Trump campaign files lawsuit challenging fraudulent ballots in Nevada

The Daily Wire“They’ve changed this election inside 90 days and as votes are being counted and America thinks that with all these mail-in ballots, that you think you have people watching that counting going on, we are still not allowed to watch the signature-matching,” Laxalt continued. “We are not allowed to challenge any of those signatures. So, they switch us to this new system, and they give us no right to be sure that only legal voters count. As America knows, those that stayed up like me all night — they dumped these at 3 a.m. They counted through the middle of the night.”

“They’re counting all day today,” Laxalt went on. “And we’re still having to wait until tomorrow. And we are still right at this second, not in that door. And I warned them about this — that if it came down to Nevada, we’d finally get people to pay attention to the fact that the Democrats didn’t give us this right, and a judge agreed that we weren’t entitled to this right. Of course, we disagreed with that, and we’re still fighting that. But just for your viewers, that has to be quite startling that almost 400,000 votes were cast last night, and there was no observation, no transparency. And you know, we’re supposed to just trust but not be able to verify.”

“There is no question that Donald Trump would have won Nevada last night convincingly if we did not move to mail-in ballots,” Laxalt asserted. “And again, we don’t know how bad voters there are in this giant stack. We also know there are likely to be dead voters. There are likely to be people that have moved out of Las Vegas but found their ballots were still cast. So we’re looking into all of this, but it’s just astounding when you watch the news commentary last night about this. They keep acting these systems are foolproof, and there’s no way that any improper voter can get through. And it is just simply not true.”

The Trump Campaign filed a lawsuit challenging those ballots. More information.

Twitter censors President Trump again

Just The NewsTwitter placed a notice on a tweet from President Trump and blocked platform users from certain engagements on the post on Monday.

The social media company blocked people from liking the tweet and leaving a comment. It also stopped people from retweeting the post, though it did allow people to retweet provided that they added their own comment when retweeting.

The Supreme Court decision on voting in Pennsylvania is a VERY dangerous one," Trump tweeted on Monday night. "It will allow rampant and unchecked cheating and will undermine our entire systems of laws. It will also induce violence in the streets. Something must be done!"

The Supreme Court's decision in PA was not final, but does allow for ballots without postmarks to be counted up to three days after the election and kept segregated pending a final decision.

This decision -- opposed by the three conservative justices and flipped by Roberts, with Barrett not yet participating -- means that election law decisions will not be made until after the election. The Supreme Court (led by Roberts) is punting the political football and hoping they are not required to make a decision, when instead they should be taking a clear stand before the election to avoid appearances of deciding the election politically after the people have voted.

Separately, Twitter should be ... ashamed is not strong enough. Twitter has abandoned all pretense of neutrality if a tweet as basic and correct as Trump's can be censored.

The censored article, based on recently revealed emails and witness testimony, raised critical questions about Biden’s conduct.

Kennetz said she later saw the photographer persuade a young couple to spray paint the garage door while recording it with her cellphone. Police confiscated the phone, Kennetz said, and an Oakdale police spokeswoman confirmed the incident was under investigation.

The media are not just lying to you, they are literally inciting people to violence. And then trying to lie to you about the violence not happening.

So just to be clear in how I characterize this: The reporter standing in front of a burning building describes it as "mostly a protest, not generally speaking unruly" while different reporters are egging people on to vandalize police buildings or bring pitchforks and torches to a Trump fundraiser.

Also, reality check: when you burn down someone's home or business, riot in their city, loot the stores they shop in, and then they hate you... that's not racism. That's cause and effect based on your actions.

ABC News tries to pass off Knob Creek machine gun shoot video as real combat footage from Syria.

UPDATE: The talking head twice uses the uncomfortable terminology "appears to show" when describing the Knob Creek video as depicting the Turkish assault. That sounds to me like he knows it doesn't even as he airs the video.

Caravan filled with men who are not seeking asylum

Ace of Spades"From what we've seen, the majority are actually men and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum. Instead, they have talked about going to the United States for a better life and to find work," Schwartz added.

It's hard to fake the news when you're reporting live from the scene and there's video. It's also hard to fake the news when people have internet access to your archives.

Fake News

PJMediaSen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) asked if the companies were addressing "micro targeting to discourage voting," what he called "one of the most powerful tools in the propaganda arsenal" that has "certainly been used in the past with the Russians to discourage minority Americans from voting."

"So what are you doing to prohibit this micro targeting?" Wyden said. "I mean, what about ads that share false information about the date of the election or the location of a polling place or ads that tell people they can vote with a text message from their phone."

We've read about what "the Russians" did with their Facebook ads. It wasn't this. This is just Dem Senator Ron Wyden saying something to rile up his minority constituencies.

To be sure, there are jokes about that sort of thing all the time. They are obviously jokes and are not microtargeted to anyone, unless "anyone in earshot" counts as microtargeting.

But that is not what the Russians did, and what the Russians did did not change the outcome of the election, because it was absurdly ineffectual.

PJMedia (quoting Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey)"We didn't have enough communication going out in terms of what was seen and what was tweeted, and what people are falling in to," the Twitter boss elaborated. "...We need to meet people where they are, and if we determine that people are subject to any falsehoods or any manipulation of any sort, we do need to provide them the full context of that. And this is an area of improvement for us and something that we're going to be diligent to fix."

Well, I fixed the falsehoods in this Congressional hearing for you. Will you please direct everyone to my website so they can get the full context?

More seriously, it seems Twitter (along with the other social media giants) has decided to take a more... editorial stance on the content from its users. That stance invalidates the legal protections associated with being a common carrier type platform.
