Still Fighting: White House Refuses to Recognize Biden as President-Elect Following Electoral College Vote; Arizona State Senator Subpoenas Maricopa County for Election Audits; Legislative Committees Slap Multiple Cities With Election-Related Subpoenas

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany declined to echo Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s acknowledgment of Joe Biden as president-elect.

“The president is still involved in ongoing litigation related to the election,” McEnany told reporters on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Electoral College met across the country to affirm Biden’s win, giving the president-elect 306 votes to President Trump’s 232, 37 days after multiple outlets called the Nov. 3 election in Biden’s favor on Nov. 11.

McEnany, instead, referred questions to the Trump campaign, describing the electors meeting as “one step in the constitutional process.” (Read more from “Still Fighting: White House Refuses to Recognize Biden as President-Elect Following Electoral College Vote” HERE)

Arizona State Senator Subpoenas Maricopa County for Election Audits

By Washington Examiner. An Arizona state senator subpoenaed the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, demanding audits of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the state’s largest county.

Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann announced that Eddie Farnsworth, a Republican who is the chairman of the state Senate’s Judiciary Committee, served the subpoenas on Tuesday.

“Today, under my direction as Senate President, Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth issued subpoenas to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. One subpoena calls for a scanned ballot audit, to collect an electronic ballot image cast for all mail-in ballots counted in the November 2020 general election in Maricopa County, Arizona. The second subpoena calls for a full forensic audit of ballot tabulation equipment, the software for that equipment and the election management system used in the 2020 general election,” Fann said in the statement obtained by the Washington Examiner.

“The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors were served these subpoenas on Tuesday afternoon, and they call for the information to be delivered to the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman on or before 5 p.m. on December 18, 2020. I appreciate Board Chairman Clint Hickman’s commitment to the integrity of the Arizona election process, and I know he shares all of our concerns,” Fann added.

Rush Limbaugh: Is This the Real Reason Supremes Rejected Texas Election Case?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a lawsuit brought by Texas and joined by 18 others against four swing states because the Washington establishment wants to get rid of President Donald Trump, contends talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh.

“There isn’t an entity in the American Deep State, Washington establishment, whatever, that doesn’t want to get rid of Donald Trump, including enough justices on the Supreme Court,” he told his listeners on Tuesday.

“The bottom line is that this is the best chance they’ve ever had to get rid of Trump and they’re not gonna hear these cases. They want him gone. It’s no more — in my humble estimation — no more complicated than that,” he said. . .

Limbaugh was asked Tuesday whether it is impossible to bring an election lawsuit.

“No, I don’t think that’s what [they are] saying because if it’s a case they wanted to take, they would take it,” he said. “You know, a friend of mine sent me a note after the Supreme Court refused to hear the Texas case. And the note is, ‘Supreme Court just said that a state that cheats in a national election, which screws everybody in the nation, is the only entity that’s allowed to do anything about it? It’s asinine. It’s like saying the only person who can prosecute a murder is the murderer.” (Read more from “Rush Limbaugh: Is This the Real Reason Supremes Rejected Texas Election Case?” HERE)

Obama to Give Green Light to Dems to Take Biden Out?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

If Joe Biden becomes inaugurated as the next president, it will likely be his former boss, Barack Obama, who will personally have Biden ousted from office, says talk-radio star Rush Limbaugh.

“I think we’re seeing enough information on the Bidens now to safely say that Biden will serve at the pleasure of Barack Obama,” Limbaugh said Tuesday on his national broadcast.

“If Obama gives the green light to Democrats to take Biden out, there will be ample evidence that Biden has lied about his knowledge his family was selling his name and office with his permission, and if that’s in fact the case, then there’s likely unreported money that will be found.

“The fake news media will temporarily become hard news media if the decision is made that Biden has to step down. Until that time, they will be covering for Biden, they’ll be making excuses for Biden, they’ll be ignoring all the negatives.”

Limbaugh continued: “I really think Obama’s running the show. Obama’s been running the Democrat show since 2016. He ran the operation against Trump. He ran the Russia sting. He ran the Russian coup. He ran everything, and he’s now running this. And as long as Biden accomplishes or does what Obama wants, then he’ll be fine. But I do believe that it will be up to Obama, Biden’s fate.” (Read more from “Obama to Give Green Light to Dems to Take Biden Out?” HERE)

AMERICA COMPROMISED: Leaked Database Reveals China Has Embedded Thousands of Spies in U.S., Other Western Governments

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Daily Mail out of Australia claims that “thousands of CCP members have infiltrated corporations” and that the “Chinese ‘state-sponsored spy ring’ [has also] infiltrated Australian, British and US consulates.”

The news outlet describes the “extraordinary leak of a database of 1.95 million registered Chinese Communist Party members. . . believed to be the first of its kind,” and contends that it reveals “how Beijing’s influence has stretched into every corner of Western governments, defence firms, banks and pharmaceutical giants.”

Apparently, a communist Chinese database was hacked by dissidents who ultimately published the party membership list on the encrypted messaging platform, Telegram.

The Daily Mail contends that “[h]undreds of Communist Party members listed in the database were exposed as working in top corporations including defence aerospace firm Boeing, Airbus and Rolls-Royce.”

Former CIA Station Chief: Swalwell Report Shows China ‘Ruthlessly Focused’ on U.S. Spying

By Fox News. The extent of the Chinese espionage efforts in the United States is diverse and ubiquitous, and checking it requires working with local leaders to stop the kind of targeting that ensnared Rep. Eric Swalwell, a former top CIA official told Fox News on Friday.

“China practices their own Orwellian espionage on their citizens and they’re mounting a full-throttle espionage campaign against us here,” former CIA station chief Dan Hoffman told “America’s Newsroom.” If we don’t come together as Democrats and Republicans, we won’t be able to counter them very well.”

Swalwell, D-Calif., is under fire for ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, raising questions about how extensive China’s spying is in the United States. Axios reported earlier this week that a woman named Christine Fang, who is also known as Fang Fang, allegedly developed ties with local and national politicians, including Swalwell. Fang reportedly met Swalwell more than six years ago when he was a councilman before he was elected to Congress.

That same report said that Fang allegedly had sexual encounters with at least two Midwestern mayors, which raised questions about Swalwell’s relationship with Fang. China reportedly has a history of conducting suspicious activities to gain access to and influence U.S. political circles.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Forbes. Rallies were staged across the country Saturday in support of President Trump’s campaign to overturn the election following a crushing Supreme Court loss, with at least two devolving into violent clashes with counter-protesters that left eight hospitalized and dozens arrested.

Thousands of the president’s supporters, including members of militia groups, gathered in cities big and small, rallying outside the capitals of Washington state, Georgia and in the nation’s capital, as well as in smaller towns like the Mobile, Alabama suburb Spanish Fort, where roughly 100 pro-Trump protesters showed up in support of the national “Stop the Steal” movement.

In Olympia, Washington, a counter-protester was shot during scuffles between two opposing groups of protesters, leading police to declare it a riot (Washington State Patrol told The New York Times that two people were in custody in connection with the shooting, but did not respond to questions from Forbes about the condition of the person shot).

Sidney Powell: Trump Could Trigger 2018 Executive Order

/0 Comments/in , , /by

With time running out for President Trump, attorney Sidney Powell is raising the option for the commander in chief to invoke his 2018 executive order concerning foreign interference in U.S. elections.

The order, signed by Trump on Sept. 12, 2018, states “not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election.”

Powell told the Epoch Times the evidence of foreign interference is “more than sufficient to trigger” the order, providing the president “all kinds of power … to do everything from seize assets to freeze things, demand the impoundment of the [voting] machines.”

“Under the emergency powers, he could even appoint a special prosecutor to look into this, which is exactly what needs to happen,” Powell continued.

“Every machine, every voting machine in the country should be impounded right now. There’s frankly more than enough criminal probable cause to justify that, for anybody who’s willing to address the law and the facts purely on the basis of truth and not politics, or corporate greed, or global wealth.” (Read more from “Sidney Powell: Trump Could Trigger 2018 Executive Order” HERE)

Just Saying This Famous Jesus Quote Could Land You in Jail

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Christians in the United Kingdom and Canada are being warned that foundational religious beliefs and practices soon could be criminalized under laws banning the counseling of people seeking help with unwanted sexual attraction.

Activists want to ban not only the so-called “conversion therapy,” they also want to prevent people from criticizing their lifestyle.

And that includes a veto on the preaching and the practice of churches regarding sexuality, according to the U.K.’s Christian Institute.

Pastoral counseling, communion or even membership could become criminal matters.

For example: “A lesbian activist visits church on a day when the minister – who knows her personally – is preaching on sexual ethics. He teaches that sex is a gift reserved for marriage between a man and a woman, and says singleness is an honorable calling. She reports this as an attempt to change or repress her sexual orientation.” (Read more from “Just Saying This Famous Jesus Quote Could Land You in Jail” HERE)

SCOTUS DENIES TEXAS CASE, Incredibly Claims “No Standing” in an Original Jurisdiction Case; Justices Thomas and Alito Issue Tepid Dissent; Is Secession the Only Answer?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In an outrageous decision just minutes ago, the Supreme Court of the United States denied the State of Texas’s complaint regarding the 2020 presidential election. The Texas case, joined or supported by numerous other states claimed equal protection violations. Specifically, Texas argued that their citizens’ votes were diluted by votes from states like Pennsylvania that changed election rules unlawfully, or even after voting had started.

Only Justice Thomas and Alito dissented: “we do not have discretion to deny the filing of a bill of complaint in a case that falls within our original jurisdiction.” But Alito went on to add, “I would therefore grant the motion to file the bill of complaint but would not grant other relief, and I express no view on any other issue.”

The SCOTUS opinion can be found here and is below:

Texas GOP Floats Secession for Law-Abiding States

By Tal Axelrod. Texas GOP chair Allen West rebuked the high court in a statement, saying that “law-abiding states” should “form a Union” after the decision throwing out the lawsuit from Texas.

Seventeen other states and 126 House Republicans had backed Texas’s effort to overturn the election results in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — four key states that secured President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

The court’s ruling, which said that Texas lacked the legal right to litigate over how other states conduct their elections, represented a devastating blow to efforts by President Trump and his allies to challenge the election results.

“The Supreme Court, in tossing the Texas lawsuit that was joined by seventeen states and 106 U.S. congressman, has decreed that a state can take unconstitutional actions and violate its own election law resulting in damaging effects on other states that abide by the law, while the guilty state suffers no consequences,” West said after the ruling. “This decision establishes a precedent that says states can violate the U.S. constitution and not be held accountable.

“This decision will have far-reaching ramifications for the future of our constitutional republic,” he continued. “Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution.” (Read more from “SCOTUS denies Texas Lawsuit” HERE)
