Trump Announces New Sanctions on China’s Military Industry

The Trump administration unleashed new sanctions on companies that contribute to China’s military-industrial base, the White House announced Thursday.

The executive order will prohibit Americans from owning shares of 31 companies that support the industrial, communications, and technological capabilities of China’s People’s Liberation Army. Pentagon officials designated the firms as “Communist Chinese military companies” in June and August memos, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The targeted companies have enjoyed the support of American investors—many of the sanctioned firms are traded on Chinese stock exchanges, and two of them are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Even if the latest sanctions are reversed by a Biden administration next year, investment experts believe the White House’s order could deter further American investment in Chinese companies.

Media Outlets Declare Biden Winner in Arizona

Several media outlets, including CNN and the New York Times, have called Arizona for Joe Biden (D), who leads President Trump by roughly 11.4 thousand votes, though the president has expressed confidence that he will emerge as the victor if an audit is conducted.

More than a week after the election, several media outlets fell in line with Fox News and declared Biden the victor of the presidential race in the Grand Canyon State. Trump did not hit the markers he needed in Thursday evening’s ballot drop in Maricopa County, taking 43 percent of approximately 4,000 ballots counted. That leaves Trump trailing Biden by 11,434, according to the Arizona Republic, though other estimates vary.

According to Data Orbital, roughly 16 thousand ballots remain, 5.5 thousand of which are provisional ballots:

Trump Campaign Scores Victory in Pennsylvania Case; Lawsuit: Dead People, Felons Voted Illegally in Michigan; AG Barr Is About To Drop the Hammer on Vote Fraud

By WND. President Trump scored a legal victory Thursday in one of several cases in Pennsylvania in which his campaign is challenging the results of the presidential election.

Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ordered that the state may not count ballots in which the voter failed to provide proof of identification by Nov. 9.

The judge ruled that Kathy Boockvar, the secretary of the commonwealth, lacked the authority to overrule the state legislature and extend the deadline to Nov. 12.

On Friday, a hearing is scheduled to take place regarding thousands of ballots the Trump campaign claims should not have been counted because they lacked required information.

The campaign also is awaiting action from the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision to overrule the state legislature and extend the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots three days past Election Day.

Lawsuit: Dead People, Felons Voted Illegally in Michigan

By Breitbart. The election integrity group True the Vote is suing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and county officials in Wayne County, Washtenaw County, and Ingham County, Michigan, alleging that dead people and felons voted illegally in the presidential election.

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, is seeking to invalidate ballots in counties where they allege widespread illegal ballots and fraudulent ballot-counting took place. The lawsuit cites reports claiming that about 10,000 dead people returned mail-in ballots to vote in Michigan.

True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht said:

Every illegal vote that is counted dilutes the voting rights of law-abiding American citizens, and jeopardizes Americans’ trust in their electoral process. Enough is enough. True the Vote is taking a stand on behalf of Michiganders — and all Americans — to stop bad actors who are stripping away citizens’ most basic rights by refusing to secure our election process. We will take proper action to put an end to it.

AG Barr Is About To Drop the Hammer on Vote Fraud

By WND. . . .Lying is the language Big Media and Big Tech have been speaking almost exclusively since Trump became president: deliberate falsehoods, misrepresentations, distractions, diversions, suppression of dissent, amplification of false witnesses, accusations that truth-tellers are guilty of exactly the crimes they themselves are committing and multi-faceted, multi-dimensional coordination of this campaign within a vast network of co-conspirators. We are literally witnessing corruption of biblical proportions. . .

Just this morning, former CIA intelligence analyst and strong Trump supporter Larry C. Johnson published a highly persuasive article suggesting that Attorney General Bill Barr is about to bring the hammer down on the crooks behind the election fraud. Conservatives have grown increasingly frustrated with Barr over the past months for what they perceive as a reluctance to take action on the obvious “alleged” criminal conduct of the anti-Trump conspirators. I agree, it would have been helpful politically for indictments to have come down on numerous individuals involved in the now-exposed conspiracy to defraud the FISA court and to sabotage the Trump administration – but that may be the exact reason why they haven’t happened … yet.

If the Justice Department is to tackle the biggest politically motivated criminal conspiracy in American history, it cannot itself be tainted with the perception of political bias in the administration of justice. Of course, nothing will prevent the left from insisting that the prosecution of their fellow travelers is political, but whatever fair-minded people are left in this country will almost certainly consider Bill Barr’s refusal to bring charges before the election as a pretty solid defense to that charge.

Obama Blames Sarah Palin for Rise of Donald Trump

In his new post-presidency memoir, former President Barrack Obama explicitly states that his election in 2008 gave rise to racial tensions in the United States that he says President Donald Trump exploited for political purposes. He also accuses former Gov. Sarah Palin, the vice presidential nominee in 2008, of unleashing “xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, and antipathy towards black and brown folks” in the Republican Party, giving way to Trump’s rise.

“It was as if my very presence in the White House had triggered a deep-seated panic, a sense that the natural order had been disrupted,” Obama writes. “Which is exactly what Donald Trump understood when he started peddling assertions that I had not been born in the United States and was thus an illegitimate president. For millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House, he promised an elixir for their racial anxiety.”

Obama’s memoir, titled “A Promised Land,” details his childhood, rise in politics, historic presidential campaign, and the first four years of his presidency. The book, which is due out Nov. 17, is the first volume of a planned two-volume work. In excerpts from the book published by CNN, Obama accuses the Republican Party, and Palin in particular, of making racist and conspiratorial attitudes mainstream.

“Through Palin, it seemed as if the dark spirits that had long been lurking on the edges of the modern Republican Party — xenophobia, anti intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, an antipathy toward Black and brown folks — were finding their way to center stage,” Obama writes.

He said he “wonder(s) sometimes” about whether the late 2008 Republican nominee John McCain would still have chosen Palin if he had known “her spectacular rise and her validation as a candidate would provide a template for future politicians, shifting his party’s center and the country’s politics overall in a direction he abhorred.” (Read more from “Obama Blames Sarah Palin for Rise of Donald Trump” HERE)

Transgender Veteran Added To Biden’s Transition Team

Just a week after Election Day, President-elect Joe Biden is doubling down on promises made to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans during his campaign and signaling his intent to reverse course from the Trump administration, which was marked by several rollbacks in LGBTQ rights. . .

That ambitious platform includes pledges to enact the Equality Act, reinstate Obama-era guidelines preventing anti-LGBTQ discrimination in areas like federal contracts, fight against broad carve-outs in antidiscrimination law on the basis of religious beliefs, end the transgender military ban, and eliminate LGBTQ youth homelessness. . .

To that end, Biden announced his transition team on Tuesday, with a press release stating “40 percent represent communities historically underrepresented in the federal government, including people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities.”

One particularly notable LGBTQ member is Shawn Skelly, named as part of the Department of Defense advisory team. Skelly became the first transgender veteran appointed by a president when [he] joined the Obama administration in 2013. (Read more from “Transgender Veteran Added To Biden’s Transition Team” HERE)

Fox Tumbles as Trump Urges Followers To Turn Away Amid Rumors About Rival Offering

Shares of Fox Corp., the corporate parent of Fox News and many of Rupert Murdoch’s remaining media assets following the sale of most of his entertainment business to Disney, are sliding Thursday after President Trump urged viewers to abandon Fox.

In a tweet, Trump essentially blamed the network for the election results, and argued that the network “forgot what made them successful”. . .

Trump’s comments probably had more impact since earlier today, Axios reported that the president has revived plans to launch his own digital media offering. Instead of a television channel, which would require enormous startup costs, the president is looking into a digital streaming project to rival Fox’s “Fox Nation” digital-subscription service.

Biden Informed of Pfizer’s Vaccine News Before Government Health Officials

Former Vice President Joe Biden was informed of Pfizer’s successful coronavirus vaccine news before the nation’s incumbent chief health care administrator, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar.

“I, as Secretary of Health and Human Services, learned about this from media reports on Monday morning,” Azar said Wednesday during an interview with Washington D.C. radio station WMAL. . .

“If the Biden campaign found out Sunday night but you … didn’t find out until Monday, that sounds like there’s a problem there,” WMAL host Vince Coglianese said during his interview with Azar.

“There certainly was a gap in communication, let’s say,” Azar responded.

According to RealClearPolitics, White House staff fumed at learning of the vaccine through the media as opposed to directly from the company as Biden did. (Read more from “Biden Informed of Pfizer’s Vaccine News Before Government Health Officials” HERE)

China: Republicans Working With Democrats to ‘Kick Trump Out’

China’s state-run Global Times reported on Thursday that “pro-establishment elites from both the Democrats and the Republicans are working together to kick Trump out of the White House” while President Donald Trump is still pursuing legal challenges against ballot counting in several close states.

“Chinese analysts said on Thursday that although Trump might have to accept his defeat eventually, his legacy has already made irreversible changes to the U.S. — The U.S. society has become more conservative and polarized, and the U.S.-led international alliance has become divided,” the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) paper wrote.

The Global Times cited American media reports indicating Trump could be planning a comeback bid in 2024 as “an implied acknowledgment of Trump’s failure among Republicans,” who must now accept the victory of former Vice President Joe Biden if they have any hope of hanging on to the 72 million votes Trump received during the election.

Expert Chinese analysts made the stunning prediction that Trump might not win the 2024 GOP primary if he runs again, because “Republicans such as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Tom Cotton may seize the opportunity and have stronger influence by then,” and even Trump’s running mate Mike Pence could shoulder past him to run for the top job.

WATCH: Biden Breaks Serious Promise He Made at the First Debate With Trump

Joe Biden is moving ahead as the media-declared president-elect, but during the first presidential debate with President Trump, he affirmed he would “not declare victory until the election is independently certified.”

Moderator Chris Wallace posed the question to the former vice president during the Sept. 28 debate in Cleveland. . .

But amid lawsuits and investigations presenting evidence of serious vote fraud in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada, Biden delivered a victory speech Saturday declaring “the election is over.”

While major media outlets have called the race for Biden, none of the states have certified their votes, and the process won’t be finalized until January.

After local election officials verify their counts, the governor or another state official certifies the statewide results. The governor then certifies the slate of electors for the Electoral College.

Majority of Trump Voters Believe Biden’s ‘Win’ Is ‘Illegitimate’

The Trump campaign’s effort to undermine confidence in the integrity of the presidential election is working among voters who cast their ballot for President Trump but not many others.

Conducted between Sunday and Tuesday, a new poll from the Economist and YouGov revealed that 86% of the people who voted for the president believe Joe Biden did not win the presidential election “legitimately.” Only 14% of the Trump voters included in the poll believe Biden won the election “legitimately.”

Nearly all of the Biden voters surveyed in the poll said they believe he won the presidency “legitimately” — only 1% said the former vice president’s victory was illegitimate.

On Saturday, many mainstream outlets projected Biden to win the presidency. Trump’s campaign has brought up allegations of widespread fraud in many battleground states where Biden is ahead. The president has not yet conceded the election even though Biden has begun acting as president-elect. (Read more from “Majority of Trump Voters Believe Biden’s ‘Win’ Is ‘Illegitimate'” HERE)
