CENSORSHIP ON STEROIDS: Mainstream Media Cut Away From Trump’s Election Press Conference; USA Today Removes All Video, Lies About Remarks (VIDEO)

By The Hill. Two television networks cut away from President Trump early Wednesday morning to allow journalists to fact-check him as he made baseless claims of fraud as votes continued to be counted in key battleground states across the country.

MSNBC cut away from the president’s remarks mid-speech to allow anchor Brian Williams to correct Trump’s claim that he had “already” won the election.

“We are reluctant to step in, but duty-bound to point out, when he says ‘we did win this election, we’ve already won,’ that is not based in the facts at all,” Williams told viewers.

On ABC News, anchors cut in during remarks made by Vice President Pence directly after Trump’s to inform viewers that the president was currently trailing his opponent in both the popular vote and in Electoral College votes from states called by news networks.

WATCH: Pennsylvania Postal Worker Claims Higher-UPS Instructed Workers to Backdate Ballots; Pennsylvania Dem Poll-Watcher Reveal ‘Coup’ Against President

By Townhall. Watchdog group Project Veritas on Thursday released their third video of alleged voter fraud. A United States Postal Service carrier in Erie, Pennsylvania claims to have overheard a conversation earlier in the day where his postmaster instructed carriers to allegedly backdate newly-received ballots.

“This morning I was casing my route, and I saw the postmaster pull one of our supervisors to the side and as he was – and it was really close to where my new case was so I was able to hear, listen in and I heard him say to the supervisor that they messed up yesterday,” the whistleblower explained. “… And he told the supervisor they had postmarked one of the ballots the 4th instead of the 3rd, because they were supposed to put them for the 3rd.” . . .

“All these ballots that are coming in today, tomorrow, yesterday, are all supposed to be postmarked the 3rd,” the carrier explained.

The whistleblower said that the order to backdate ballots that are currently received “still stands.” He knows that to be true “considering that they still want us to pick up ballots tomorrow.” (Read more from “WATCH: Pennsylvania Postal Worker Claims Higher-UPS Instructed Workers to Backdate Ballots” HERE)

Pennsylvania Dem Poll-Watcher Reveal ‘Coup’ Against President

By WND. A Democrat from Philadelphia on Thursday joined a chorus of concerns expressed by Republicans about possible fraud in the vote-counting process.

The Democrat identifies himself as a poll watcher in Pennsylvania.

“They will not allow us within 30 to 100 feet to supervise the ballots being counted,” Brian Mchafferty said. “This is a coup against the president of the United States of America and I want to call out the mayor of Philadelphia, James Kenny … the Attorney General Josh Shapiro who tweeted that there was no way that Donald Trump would win president of the United States of America.

“I can’t believe what I’m seeing right before my eyes. This has nothing to do with Joe Biden or Donald Trump. This has to do with our democracy and I will tell you, there is corruption at the highest levels in the city of Philadelphia.”

Democrats Urge Twitter to Suspend Trump Until Ballots Counted

Democratic lawmakers want Twitter to suspend President Trump’s account until all the ballots have been counted in the 2020 presidential election.

Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly said on Twitter that Trump’s claim that he has won Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina before counting is finished is “pure disinformation,” Fox Business reported.

“Suspend his account, @Twitter,” Connolly wrote. “Valid votes are being counted. This is America, not Russia.”

Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline called Trump’s tweet Wednesday “a threat to our democracy.”

Politico reported Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris previously called for Twitter to block the president. (Read more from “Democrats Urge Twitter to Suspend Trump Until Ballots Counted” HERE)

Critics Blast Oregon Dems for Calling National Guard to Quell Portland Riots Now That Elections Are Over

Democratic leaders on the state level in Oregon, as well as in Portland, are being dragged online for calling in National Guard troops to quell post-election rioting in the city after it had gone on for months.

Critics online accused Gov. Kate Brown and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, the latter of whom won reelection Tuesday, of allowing the rioting to go on all summer long while opposing President Donald Trump’s repeated offers of federal intervention because it played better for them politically.

“And now Ted Wheeler sees no benefit to them rioting and is cracking down immediately. People in that city were used for politics. Businesses were damaged for politics. So gross man,” one user wrote.

State Passes $15 Minimum Wage Amendment

With all precincts reporting, Floridians have approved an amendment to raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2026.

With 10.48 million votes counted, 60.8 percent of Floridians voted “yes” on the measure, just barely crossing the 60 percent threshold that constitutional amendments need for approval.

Orlando lawyer John Morgan, who spent millions trying to get the amendment passed, said “God answered my prayers.”

“Tonight the people of Florida gave the working poor a forever raise,” Morgan said in a text message. “This was not a political issue, it was a moral issue.”

The amendment increases the state’s minimum wage from $8.56 to $10 in September next year, then go up by $1 each year until it reaches $15 in 2026. Florida will be the eighth state where the minimum wage will be set at $15 in the near future. (Read more from “State Passes $15 Minimum Wage Amendment” HERE)

Report: Defense Secretary Mark Esper Prepared Letter of Resignation

President Trump’s defense secretary has reportedly prepared a resignation letter.

Mark Esper, a former Army officer who has been secretary since July 2019, wrote the letter under the impression that he could be forced out of his Cabinet position after the election, three defense officials told NBC News.

This follows an Axios report last month that said Esper, along with FBI Director Chris Wray and CIA Director Gina Haspel, are among those Trump expects to replace if he wins reelection.

At the time, the White House said the president had not made any Cabinet decisions. “We have no personnel announcements at this time, nor would it be appropriate to speculate about changes after the election or in a second term,” White House spokesman Judd Deere told the Washington Examiner.

WATCH: How False Media Narratives Are Influencing the Election

On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway and Culture Editor Emily Jashinksy examine how the media has ignored the truth and peddled false narratives to influence how Americans view the pending election results.

One example of this, Hemingway notes, is the news outlets’ dismissal of potential voter by fraud without investigation. . .

Despite their mistakes while covering President Donald Trump and conservatives over the last four years, Jashinksy and Hemingway both agreed that the battle is not over and the mainstream media will not change course.

Reports of Election Fraud Keep Piling up in Michigan. What’s Going On? (VIDEO)

As absentee ballot counting continues in a handful of key states across the country, reports of voter fraud, ballot tampering, and the illegal removal of Republican election observers are cropping up in Michigan, especially in Detroit, a Democratic stronghold which has a long history of voter fraud.

On Wednesday, the Trump administration announced it was filing a lawsuit in Michigan over what it claims are systematic efforts to prevent Republican election observers from monitoring the ballot counting process as allowed under state law.

The lawsuit comes as video clips continue to surface on social media showing election officials denying access to authorized GOP poll watchers.

Aric Nesbitt, a Michigan state senator, posted a video on Twitter Wednesday afternoon of election workers at the convention center in Detroit, where absentee ballots are being counted. The video shows workers cheering every time an official election observer with the Michigan GOP is ejected from the counting room. Apparently this has been happening frequently, in violation of state law. Democratic observers, says Nesbitt, now outnumber Republicans observers at the convention center 3 to 1.

Here’s why that’s a problem. When an absentee ballot is unreadable for whatever reason, a ballot counter takes out a blank ballot, lays it on the table next to the unreadable ballot, and transposes the vote so it can be filed and tallied. Republican and Democratic “poll challengers,” as they’re called, are supposed to observe this process as it happens and make sure that the vote is transposed accurately. In addition, Michigan state law requires that a Republican and a Democratic official sign off on every voting precinct where absentee ballots are cast in this manner.

Courts Unlikely to Decide Presidential Election

A battery of lawsuits from the Trump campaign in battleground states is not likely to tip the outcome of the election.

The multi-pronged legal attack in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia does not involve issues that are likely to change vote tallies. The campaign’s lawsuits have mostly involved modest claims that seek to ensure election procedures are followed. The actions do not seek to invalidate large numbers of votes or stop the canvassing process.

A dispute over a grace period for mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania is currently pending before the Supreme Court, but it is not clear that the votes in question will be decisive to the outcome in the Keystone State. All told, apart from the dispute over Pennsylvania’s post-Election Day ballots, the Trump campaign does not have an obvious path for the Supreme Court showdown President Donald Trump advocated on election night. . .

Trump campaign lawyers also sued Michigan secretary of state Jocelyn Benson (D), claiming that GOP vote challengers were being kept away from absentee vote counting boards and surveillance video of ballot drop boxes. The Trump plaintiffs named only one GOP challenger allegedly kept away from the canvassing process and did not explain the circumstances for his removal, nor did they connect the incident to a broader pattern of malfeasance.

In a Thursday-afternoon hearing, Michigan Court of Claims judge Cynthia Stephens said she will dismiss the Trump campaign’s lawsuit in a written decision by Friday afternoon. Stephens said the suit lacked specificity, and it seemed to her that the campaign was suing the wrong person. Rather than bringing a suit against Benson, Stephens said the campaign should have filed against local election officials, who are legally empowered to give the campaign the access it was allegedly denied. She also noted that the absentee vote canvass has effectively been completed. (Read more from “Courts Unlikely to Decide Presidential Election” HERE)

Public School Faces Lawsuit Over Ban on Religious Masks

A Mississippi public school is facing a lawsuit for prohibiting a third-grader from wearing a mask that read “Jesus Loves Me.”

The religious liberty law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is suing Mississippi’s Simpson County School District because the school forced the third-grader, Lydia Booth, to remove a religious message from her face mask and retroactively changed its masking code.

When Booth’s mother asked for the specific policy that banned free expression on face masks, school officials responded with an updated copy of the school’s coronavirus plan that included a ban on religious messages—which had not been in the original plan.

The new policy prohibits messages on masks that are “political, religious, sexual or inappropriate symbols, gestures or statements that may be offensive, disruptive or deemed distractive to the school environment.”

ADF legal counsel Michael Ross said the school’s policy violates the First Amendment. “Officials simply can’t … arbitrarily pick and choose messages that students can or can’t express,” Ross said. “Other students within the school district have freely worn masks with the logos of local sports teams or even the words ‘Black Lives Matter.'” (Read more from “Public School Faces Lawsuit Over Ban on Religious Masks” HERE)
