What if you were President of the United States? The MSM is reporting that you lost your bid for re-election. You believe the election was stolen by massive fraud. There is significant evidence of that, but probably not enough to influence any court.  What if you had evidence that the next President was potentially guilty of peddling influence with Ukraine, China, Russia, and others. What if Russia appears to have hacked much of our critical infrastructure. What if there are indications that China was directly involved in manipulating the machines and software used to process election results. What if these machines and software were also used in Venezuela?

What if a key member of the House Intelligence committee turned out to have a former sexual relationship with a Chinese spy? What if this spy arranged for interns to be in this Congressman’s office? What if the FBI knew about this, but did nothing other than let that spy return home to China?

What if CISA, which was telling the world that this was the most secure election in history, missed the biggest hack on our IT structure, ever? What if this turns out to be a grave threat to national security, caused by the direct overt action of a nation-state?

Would you continue to give classified briefings to the President Transition team? Would you take the action necessary to fix this, or would you trust that the “President elect” would or even could deal with this?

Everyone is telling Donald Trump to shut up and go home. Incredibly, even Republicans in the Senate are telling him that. But what if they are either aware or unwilling to confront the reality of the situation. What would you expect a President to do? What would the constitution require our President to do?

Talk about the horns of a dilemma. Who would have predicted this? This all seems delusional, but there is a lot of evidence that this is exactly what is happening. What is lacking is any evidence that Democrats, or even Republicans in congress are willing to confront the reality and seriousness of this. They don’t appear to be even investigating this. The Supreme Court is also unwilling to get involved. The MSM would simply cover it up.

There is obviously truth out there. This is either accurate or it is not. What it cannot be is unimportant. A lot of people who have a duty to get this right are trying to sit this out. That may be the most dangerous possible decision. Have they considered the possibility that the President must either do the unthinkable or tolerate the unthinkable?

He has tried and failed to get the courts to intervene. He has tried and failed to get the MSM to investigate. He has tried and failed to get State Legislatures to intervene. He has tried and failed to get Republicans in congress to intervene. What should he do now? Should he just ignore this, like everyone else, and go home? Anyone see a good option here? Anyone?

Many people, including myself, are more than dismayed at the direction of this country. There have been previous times when there was concern regarding the choice for President of the United States. I was less than thrilled when the American people replaced George H.W. Bush with Bill Clinton. I was appalled when Clinton was re-elected. I was also disgusted when Barack Obama was elected. But never sorry that either John McCain or Mitt Romney did not become President. In all these cases I thought the American people would pay a price for bad decisions, but the country would survive and at some point, things would change, as they always do.

But this time it is different. Not because of Donald Trump or even because of Joe Biden. It is rather than it seems so obvious that this election was literally stolen. The most difficult thing to believe is that Joe Biden really got 80 million votes. What we already know about the Dominion voting machines and Smartmatic software should give everyone pause. There are numerous reports that this is the same system used Venezuela. I have seen no one dispute that, just arrogant self-righteous pronouncements that this was the most secure election in our nation’s history. Do they really expect us to believe that? Do they even believe that?

It is obvious that someone has launched a serious cyber-attack on the U.S. By all accounts, this is beyond bad. The Cyber Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) said the following in an alert published Thursday:

Advanced Persistent Threat Compromise of Government Agencies, Critical Infrastructure, and Private Sector Organizations | CISA

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is aware of compromises of U.S. government agencies, critical infrastructure entities, and private sector organizations by an advanced persistent threat (APT) actor beginning in at least March 2020. This APT actor has demonstrated patience, operational security, and complex tradecraft in these intrusions. CISA expects that removing this threat actor from compromised environments will be highly complex and challenging for organizations.

CISA has determined that this threat poses a grave risk to the Federal Government and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as critical infrastructure entities and other private sector organizations

It is impossible to reconcile this situation with the arrogant assertion by the former Director of CISA, Chris Krebs, that this was the most secure election in history. It is now more than obvious why Trump fired Krebs.

Some has described this as a Pearl Harbor level attack against the United States. I am not sure that is an exaggeration.

Several things are happening. The Pentagon halted briefing the Biden transition defense briefings. The DOD says that Acting Pentagon Defense Secretary asked for a one day pause and both teams agreed to a two week break over the holidays. One thing is sure, the Biden transition team will get no more briefing this year.

Nancy Pelosi received the COVID 19 vaccinate today. Shortly after that she postponed her weekly press conference for the second time. It was originally scheduled for 10:45 a.m., then postponed for 2:00 p.m., then postponed indefinitely. At 2:31 p.m. today the FBI began briefing GOP Minority Leader Keven McCarthy and Speaker Nancy Pelosi regarding Rep. Eric Swalwell’s relationship with Chinese Spy Christine (Fang) Fang. McCarthy has been demanding that briefing saying that Swalwell is a national security liability. Is that briefing a coincidence?

Sprawling hack of federal agencies spurs alarm in White House – POLITICO

Last Saturday The U.S. National Security Council (NSC) held an emergency meeting at the White House. The National Security Council is chaired by the President. Its regular attendees (both statutory and non-statutory) are the Vice President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the statutory military advisor to the Council, and the Director of National Intelligence is the intelligence advisor. The Chief of Staff to the President, Counsel to the President, and the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy are invited to attend any NSC meeting. The Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget are invited to attend meetings pertaining to their responsibilities. The heads of other executive departments and agencies, as well as other senior officials, are invited to attend meetings of the NSC when appropriate.

The office of the Director of National Intelligence and U.S. Cyber Command are both involved in the investigation and this was described as a nation-state confrontation.

 “The government suspects that the FireEye and agency hacks are connected and is now worried that “the same techniques … could have been leveraged against other agencies” because “everybody uses Microsoft products,” the U.S. official said.”

Trump is apparently scheduled to meet with Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller in the Oval office at 3:30 p.m. President Trump’s Executive Order on Foreign Interference in Our Elections is due today. There are unconfirmed reports that John Ratcliffe refused to sign the report because it did not include substantial allegations of direct interference by China in our elections. That report may not become public today, but it is certain that John Ratcliffe will update the President today. He may have already briefed Trump on this.

None of us know what is going on. We just know that the most serious people in this government are using terms like grave risk to the Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments. We also know that this is discussed as a nation-state confrontation. It would be insane to underestimate this.

Prior to December 7, 1941, few Americans had any interest in participating in a foreign war. But, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, that changed overnight. This time, we have clearly been attacked, not with planes from a carrier, but rather with a far more serious weapon able to do incalculable damage. The U.S. Government will respond and none of us should underestimate the significance of that.

We do not know the extent, if any, to which this affected the election. But since if affected almost everything else, odds are it also impacted the election. If there is evidence that a foreign government hacked the results of a presidential election, and the American people are confronted with this, the results are likely to be similar to the response after Pearl Harbor or 9-11. Pearls of wisdom demand we don’t jump to conclusions, but they also demand we do not ignore the obvious nor the significance of events that are well documented.

Bob Denver played the role of Gilligan on Gilligan’s Island, and later Maynard G. Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. The best way to describe this character was decidedly and hysterically weird. If anyone mentioned “work”, “marriage”, or “police” Krebs would jump with fear and sometimes faint. faint. Few people took Maynard G. Krebs seriously. Few people should take the modern version of Krebs seriously either.

Chris Krebs, is the former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Mr. Krebs took repeated shots at President Trump for daring to suggest that there was widespread corruption in this election. Democrats swooned all over him and viewed this as proof positive that Trump was spreading misinformation. I wonder if anyone noticed that under Krebs’s watch, CISA missed a serious hack by foreign intruders that negatively impacted thousands of businesses.  CISA had to issue an emergency order telling people to stop using SolarWind Orion software immediately because it had been hacked by someone. Democrats and the MSM blame Russia, but they always blame Russia. This has not actually been confirmed.

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/12/u-s-treasury-commerce-depts-hacked-through-solarwinds-compromise/

It is poetic justice to quote from an article by Krebson Security. All Krebs are not created equal.

This was certainly not prevented by CISA and it wasn’t even discovered by CISA. It was discovered by FireEye, who did the responsible thing by reporting the hack and putting people on alert. This compromised more that 425 of the Fortune 500 companies. It affected all ten of the top ten U.S. telecommunications companies, all five branches of the U.S. military, all five of the top five U.S. accounting firms, the Pentagon, the State Department, the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice, The Commerce Department, the U.S. Treasury, AT&T, CBS, Harvard, John Hopkins, Lockheed Martin, the New York Times, Smith Barny, the CDC, the U.S. Postal Service, and the White House. Nice! Way to go Krebs!

This is the same arrogant jerk bad mouthing the President and claiming, without evidence, that this was the most secure election in American history. Democrats on the committee lapped this up like it was straight from the lips of God. What a joke. It may not be his fault that this happened, but it happened on his watch and he was Director of CISA with the task of preventing exactly this kind of nonsense. At a minimum someone should have asked an obvious question. If you missed the widespread hack on SolarWind, how do you know you aren’t missing something regarding the election? His basic argument is that he is too smart, and his agency was too awesome for this to have occurred. If anything, the massive failure of CISA regarding SolarWind should give great pause regarding the credibility of CISA when it “certified” this election.

Who knows what shoe is going to drop next? There is almost certain to be a Special Counsel assigned to investigate Hunter Biden and that will include investigating Joe Biden. That demonstrates the real problem here. If the allegations against Joe Biden are true, then electing him President of the United States would constitute a clear and present danger to National Security. That should concern everyone in both parties. If you think people are unhappy now, imagine if this comes out after the inauguration, after Joe has totally botched things up and pushed our economy completely off the cliff. Imagine this coming out after there is more and more solid evidence that this election was stolen. Now imagine Biden being removed from office and replaced by Kamala Harris. Try not to throw up.

A lot of people, both Republicans and Democrat should really think about this. The only thing predictable is that virtually everyone will be angry at someone. Progressives won’t get the Green New Deal, Socialized Medicine, Gun confiscation and Defunding of the Police they expect. Even if Democrats take control of the Senate there are still some Democratic Senators who will not write a blank check for this nonsense. Joe Manchin is one and he may be joined by people like Sinema and even Kelly. Don’t assume that just because Democrats control the Senate that they control all the Democrats.

This continues to get weirder by the day. Look at how much things have changed since March. None of us would have predicted any of this last year at this time. No one can predict what will happen between now and January 6, 2021. Expect the unexpected.

Who would write this script? A lot of people want you to believe that the election of Joe Biden is official. But they are ignoring some important developments. One is that Republicans in six states voted for a separate slate of electors to vote for Donald Trump. This included Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. I don’t ever remember something like this happening before, do you? Texas asked the Supreme Court to overturn the election because of systemic fraud and 18 states joined in the action. Has anyone ever seen that before?  One hundred and twenty-five GOP Senators joined in support of this lawsuit. I don’t believe that has happened before either.

There are always a certain number of people who do not believe a President is legitimate. That was certainly true of George W. Bush and Donald Trump. Both were strong leaders who managed to govern despite the opposition. But Biden is not a strong leader. He has no discernible communication skills. He gave his victory speech last night and It was ghastly. He looked and sounded terrible. This was a public display of why his campaign hid him in his basement during the entire campaign. Biden obviously has good days and bad days. Last night was a bad day. But this was the day his election became official, so he had to speak.  His eyes were watering, and he coughed all the way through. Expect his campaign to call a lid first thing in the morning.

Rather than looking presidential by being gracious, honored, and humbled, he looked bitter and angry, slamming Trump by claiming he was delusional with his claims that this election was riddled with fraud. I wonder if Biden realized he was telling millions of people that they were delusional too. The same people he is calling upon to unify behind his Presidency. Seriously? Did he notice that when Texas filed with the Supreme Court to overturn the election that 18 other states joined in? Does he realize that six states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin voted for alternative electors, because they believe the election was fraudulent? No evidence? Please!

Either the MSM is wrong or everyone else is wrong. I wonder if any of them consider the consequences of Joe Biden assuming the Presidency under these circumstances. There is already one Special Prosecutor and don’t be surprised if William Barr either expands his authority or appoints a second Special Prosecutor as a Christmas present to Donald Trump before leaving office on December 23, 2020. Combine that with his lack of leadership and millions of people who believe the election was literally stolen and this is unlikely to end well. Add in his idiotic plans for a national mask mandate and more lockdowns, combined with left wing radical cabinet appointments and this is beyond bad. The only thing worse than this would be a President Kamala Harris who is even less capable than Joe Biden and who has an extremely annoying personality. She finished LAST during the Democratic primaries for a reason.

Every member of congress should ask themselves a simple question. What if Joe Biden is incapable of being President and that becomes obvious almost immediately. How do you think people will respond? There are already reports that close to 15% of people who voted for Joe Biden would not have done so if they knew about the Hunter Biden emails. Next year most Americans will be united on one subject, Joe is not the man for the job.

A lot of people are literally in grief over this election. There are four stages to grief. The first is denial, where people still hope that somehow this can be avoided. We are in that stage today. But the second stage is anger. A lot, and I do mean a lot, of people are going to be furious at those who let this happen on their watch. The MSM will pay the highest price because no one on either side believes them anymore. Democrats will also pay a high price and are likely to get steamrolled in the next election. But Republicans who failed to fight hard enough to prevent this disaster are in for a tough time too. The last time we saw this kind of disenchantment with the federal government we ended up in a civil war. This is not an exaggeration, there are already states talking about secession. That will not happen, but it is an indication of the extreme outrage.

I thought Trump was probably finished, but now I am less sure of that. There is just too much evidence and Joe Biden is just too obviously unqualified to be President of the United States. I sincerely believe a lot of people in congress are just waiting for some bombshell piece of evidence that will justify them overturning the results of this election. It will take a major bombshell, but if the reports we see now are true, such a bombshell is a distinct possibility.

However, I must admit that William Barr resigning is evidence that at least he thinks this is over. If he thought Trump would be re-elected, he would never have resigned. William Barr is no fool and he is no left-wing radical partisan, so that gives me pause.

Only a fool would predict Trump being re-elected at this point. But 2020 is a really weird year and it is not over yet. The DNI report has not been produced yet and Joe Biden is capable of mucking things up to a fare thee well. We must all prepare to endure the unendurable. But we should also remember one thing. Sometimes, losing big is necessary to achieve the ultimate victory. It is always darkest just before dawn.

Winston Churchill was everyone’s last choice for Prime Minister, until he became the only choice. It is impossible to explain the election of someone like Abraham Lincoln, other than the tragedy of the events leading up to the Civil War. I make no prediction other than this. There is zero chance Joe Biden will be a successful President of the United States. Those who fail to realize that are the ones who are truly delusional.

Winston Churchill prescribed ‘unlimited alcohol’ after accident that may have changed WW2 | UK | News | Express.co.uk

History, when based on truth, is always weirder than fiction. In 1931, Winston Churchill was hit by a car while crossing Fifth Avenue in New York City. He suffered a head wound and developed neuritis. His doctors prescribed more alcohol, particularly at mealtime. Note that this was during prohibition. Guess who else was hit by a car in 1931? An up-and-coming German politician named Adolph Hitler. Real history is what happens when you are making other plans.

I predict nothing but am prepared for the almost anything.

Antrim County Michigan released the forensic results today. These allege that the Dominion voting machines are engineered to swap votes. In addition, that the votes are not tabulated locally but transmitted to someplace else. That is a real bombshell. It makes the pending report by DNI John Ratcliffe very interesting. Col. Waldron said that they were able to watch votes transmitted by Dominion to a server in Frankfurt in real time. How would he know that? Who did he mean by “we.” There are reports, unconfirmed, that some U.S. agency seized a server in Frankfurt. Sidney Powell said it was seized by the good guys. There is absolutely zero verification of this. But Trump did issue an executive order in September 2018, declaring a state of emergency and directing the DNI to investigate and report on foreign interference in elections no later than December 18, 2020. Yesterday Trump sent out a tweet warning people that certifying results in a fraudulent election is a serious criminal violation. I doubt that Trump wrote that himself. That may have been a serious warning.

One would note that Dominion is in Canada. If the Dominion machines and/or software interfered with election results, that would constitution foreign intervention.  That executive order authorized severe and immediate sanctions as well as seizure of foreign assets. It is hard to imagine that order being ignored. It is impossible to imagine that a John Ratcliffe would ignore this.

SolarWinds advertises that it is used by the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corp, IC, DoD, U.S. Census Bureau, DOJ, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Treasure, U.S. Department of Veterans affairs and more. It has been reported, but not confirmed, that Dominion software uses SolarWinds.

Someone outed Eric Swalwell as having a “personal” relationship with a known Chinese Communist Spy. Swalwell responded by saying this was “classified.” Good luck with that. Sky News Australia is releasing a list of known Chinese Communist Party members who have infiltrated all over the world.

In October 2020, Breitbart published a list of “key domestic contacts” for a Chinese Business venture proposed in 2017 by Hunter and James Biden. This came from an e-mail by Jim Biden:

Report: Kamala Harris Listed as ‘Key Contact’ for Biden Family Business Venture in China (breitbart.com)

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe. We don’t know if any of them were actually contacted, but they were certainly on a target list.

Why is this happening now? A lot of coincidences here. Just when you thought 2020 could not get any worse.  Perhaps the DNI has been doing a lot more than anyone suspected. This is exactly what one would expect if the DNI was all over this and ready to release a bombshell report. There is a strong wind blowing and it is impossible to predict the extent of the damage. This could be a very stormy week. This all reads right out of a spy novel. But, it makes more sense than the theory that 80 million people really did vote for Joe Biden.

Many people, including me, are totally depressed at the charade pretending to be a fair and honest election. If this weren’t so serious, it would be hard to control the giggles. While the DNC, the MSM and too many RINO Republicans are willing to accept the results of this election, millions of people will never believe. Even if Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States, he will not have nearly the power he or his supporters expect. Joe Biden remains a 78-year-old incompetence senile racist crook with virtually no communication skills.

Democracies have, unfortunately, been overtaken by socialism. But in every case several things were required. One was a charismatic leader who could use propaganda to get people to foolishly believe in his agenda. Another was the support of the military. Finally, there was support of the police. It is really this simple. Once people realize the extent of the lies told to them, their natural tendency is to revolt. The only way for the government to retain control is by the use of overwhelming force by the military and the police. Without that support, socialism always fails because it is based on ideas and assumptions that do not and cannot ever work.

The electoral college will almost certainly vote to elect Joe Biden President of the United States on Monday.. The MSM will immediately declare that this is official, that Joe Biden will be the next President of the United States. Sadly, this will be supported by the usual suspect RINO Republicans.

But, regardless of what is said, that is not true. During the Bush-Gore fiasco, Justice Ginsburg wrote that even though the electoral college deadline was imminent, the real deadline was when a Special Joint Session of Congress voted to elect the next President of the United States. That was her reasoning for letting the vote counting in Florida to continue.

Nothing about this situation is predictable by anyone. But I did notice a couple of things that give me pause. One is that Sidney Powell frequently says that people who certify the results of this election will be certifying fraud. Some of that is political rhetoric, but it is also reality. If people certify this election and the electoral college votes to elect Joe Biden and there is later undeniable evidence of systemic fraud, those people who voted to certify this election may have put themselves in legal jeopardy.

Contrary to the reporting on the MSM, there is a ton of evidence regarding systemic fraud. The fact that they and the courts were so willing to ignore that reality does not change the truth of things. The evidence of fraud was so overwhelming that 18 states joined with Texas in their lawsuit file in the Supreme Court. In addition, 125 members of congress supported that lawsuit, as did numerous members of the legislatures in Pennsylvania and Michigan. The Supreme Court did not deny the evidence, it merely ruled that Texas lacked standing to pursue the matter. Wise attorneys, not influenced by the Jeffrey Toobins of this world, realize that.

So far, no one in the federal government seems to be investigating or concerned about the obvious fraud. But that may not actually be true. Trump ordered people to investigate this back in 2018. Are we to assume that either they did not do this investigation or that they could find no evidence? That seems unlikely. The DNI must issue a report no later than December 18, 2020. It is interesting to note that this date is after the vote of the Electoral College. Yet, if one expected this report to prevent the theft of a federal election, wouldn’t the date have been before the electoral college voted. What this a mistake? Was 45 days chosen arbitrarily and stupidly timed so that the report would have no impact? But what if the timing of the report was designed to get people to publicly commit themselves, before the hammer is dropped? I do not know. I only know that this raises some interesting questions.

So, imagine if John Ratcliff, DNI, delivers a report on December 18, 2020 providing documented proof that this election was not only stolen, but it was also stolen with the help of foreign governments. We know that according to the DNC and the people running elections in key states, Joe Biden got 80 million votes. According to them Donald Trump increased his vote count significantly, in almost every demographic, yet lost to Joe Biden hiding in his basement. The man who drew enormous crowds willing to wait for hours in horrible weather just to catch a glimpse of his shadow was defeated by someone like Joe Biden. That defies all logic. This is particularly true when most of Joe Biden’s margin took place in voting districts famous for systemic voter fraud. When much of his margin came from mysterious, undocumented votes, delivered in the wee hours of the morning. We already know that millions of Americans think the election was stolen. That is not because they are naïve and gullible people willing to believe any theory proposed by Donald Trump. It is because they have seen the evidence already presented but ignored by the MSM. So far, the evidence has not been accepted by any court and this allows the MSM and others to pretend it does not exist. But pretending something does not exist, does not alter the truth. Eventually, this will all come out. I wonder if Democrats and the MSM understand the consequences if this comes out AFTER Joe Biden is sworn into office. Talk about an unprecedented constitutional crisis.

That brings the question of the VOICE. For this coup, and that is what it is, to succeed, the opposition to President Trump needs a voice. They need someone with the communication skill to convince the American people that everything is ok. Someone people can trust. Someone people can believe. Do any of you think that Joe Biden is that person? Do any of you think that such a person exists in the Democratic Party. Remember that Joe Biden was only selected because everyone else was much worse.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is exactly that kind of voice. And when he says this election was stolen, people believe him. Few, on the other hand, trust CNN and the rest of the MSM. Almost no one trusts Joe Biden. No matter what happens Monday or even on January 6, 2021, that is a huge problem.

I cannot possibly predict what will happen on January 6, 2021. We all need to prepare for the possibility that Joe Biden will be elected President of the United States. But it will not end there. There is already one Special Counsel investigation and odds are there will be another one appointed before the election. Those cabinet appointments by Joe Biden need to be confirmed by the Senate. That means Republican Senators can ask questions. Questions to which the answers have the potential to incriminate Joe Biden. Don’t expect them to lie under oath to protect Joe Biden.

During the Vietnam War there was a slogan, “What if they called a war and nobody came?” It was a stupid slogan. But there was an element of truth about it. What if Joe Biden is President of the United States in name only and he does not have the support of the military or the police. How, exactly, does he expect to govern? We already know that police in this country are revolting against incompetent Democratic leadership. They understand the threat from those who want to defund the police and just ignore criminals and crime. Joe Biden may speak, but there is no guarantee anyone will listen.

Ultimately, this may depend on the Voice. Right now, there is only one person in the country with that powerful of a voice. His name is Donald Trump. Regardless of what happens in this election, that won’t change. I am reminded that Abraham Lincoln had such a voice. He was assassinated, but his death only made his voice even louder.

When I was about 13 years old, I was staying with my Grand Parents in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There wasn’t a lot to do, so I watched a lot of TV. One day, on this black guy from Detroit showed up on a local daytime TV show. He said he had invented a new kind of sound that would dominate the music scene. He then introduced three teenage girls he had brought from Detroit.  I did not remember their names at the time, but I later learned this was Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and Diana Ross, who went on to become known as the “Supremes.” I must admit I was too young and stupid to realize I was seeing something special. I knew they could really sing, but I never dreamed that I was watching the start of what became Motown.

Today, most of us are disappointed in the Supremes, but recall I did warn that it was unlikely that any court would overturn the results of this election. It is now likely that the Electoral College will meet next Monday and vote for Joe Biden. But, although the MSM will say this makes the election of Joe Biden official, that is not true. Biden won’t officially become President of the United States, if at all, until a joint session of congress votes on January 6^th.

The Trump campaign is not winning many if any court battles, but they are making a strong case for widespread and systemic corruption during this election. In addition to Texas, 18 states asked the Supreme Court to intervene. So did representatives from the legislature of Michigan and Pennsylvania. More importantly, so did 106 GOP members of congress. That means there are people, a lot of people, who believe this election was exactly the systemic fraud described by Donald Trump.

While the Supreme Court rejected the Texas Lawsuit, it was only after it had allowed Texas to make its case, in writing. It was also only after Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia presented its rebuttal evidence. Their only rebuttal against solid evidence of corruption was to scream outrage at being questioned.

The MSM will declare this over. So will a lot of Republicans. But the MSM has been lying to us for at least four years. They lied to us about the Russian collusion hoax. They lied about Trump and the Ukraine. They lied about COVID19. They lied about Joe and Hunter Biden. They lied about Trump and white supremacists. They lied about Black Lives Matter. They lied about Antifa. They lied about everything. The real challenge is to find something, anything, they didn’t lie about.

Obviously, unless something changes, Biden will be elected President on January 6, 2021. But that is three weeks away and 2020 has taught us that a lot can change in three weeks. Last week the MSM continued to cover up the Hunter Biden fiasco. This week they are, finally, asking Joe questions.

What would that take? Imagine if Joe Biden became incapacitated or even died. Would congress vote to elect Kamala Harris President of the United States? What if there are more bombshells? What if our intelligence agencies were investigating Dominion software and foreign interference and they have the proof? I mean, Trump did order them to do that in 2018. That report isn’t even due until the 18^th. Would it still matter?

In 1989 the LA Rams and the 49ers played on a Monday Night in Anaheim. I was there with a friend. The person in front of us was wearing every piece of clothing ever manufactured with a LA Rams logo. He found out I was from San Francisco and the game was on. The Rams were killing the Niners. They were leading 27 to 10 when the Niners finally scored a touchdown. The Rams drove back down the field and had first and goal from the 5. This guy decided it was finally safe to go to the john. He staggered up the steps to the restroom to drain the six beers consumed in the second half. He stopped just long enough to flip me the bird on the way. I just said that I had learned to never give up on Joe Montana. On the next play the Rams fumbled. The Niners recovered. Joe Montana hit John Taylor for a 95-yard touchdown. The Niners kicked off and the Rams fumbled again. By the time this guy got back from the john, the score was 27 to 24 and the Niners were lined up for the winning touchdown. Roger Craig scored from one yard out and the Rams had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. This guy looked at me, white as a sheet, then said words I will never forget: “Aw, I knew they’d lose.” It has been over 40 years and I still remember him, and that game and I still laugh out loud. It reminded me that yes, there is a God and He is the only Supreme.

The point being that it is never over until its over. It won’t be over until January 6, 2020. Things admittedly look tough, but Donald Trump is still Donald Trump and Joe Biden is still Job Biden. It may be difficult for Trump to win, but Joe Biden is more than capable of losing.

Texas filed a lawsuit against four states. They were required to file their briefs in response today. Predictably, these responses are mainly outrage that Texas would interfere with their election. Most legal experts do not believe the Supreme Court will even hear the case. However, 2020 is a weird year in every way, so we all need to wait and see.

Texas has support from 17 other states. That, at least, should give pause. In addition, the responses from those four states are from the Attorney Generals, not the legislatures. Technically, only the state legislature is authorized under the constitution to determine how elections are conducted. I am not sure if this will matter.

However, even if the Supreme Court does not hear this case, a lot of things are happening. One is the criminal case against Hunter Biden. Another is the Special Prosecutor who is investigating the origins of the Russian Collusion case. In addition, contrary to what is being reported in the MSM, there is a ton of evidence regarding systemic corruption. That evidence is going to continue to come out and there is the potential for some real bombshells. We all need to remember that the election is not over until January 6^th, when a joint session of congress will meet to decide. Then and only then does anything become official.

There is something else. Everyone has been frustrated because of the lack of obvious investigation by the FBI and/or the DOJ. But I went back and read the transcript of the speech by Donald Trump on December 2, 2020. The media downplayed this as just another Trump rant, but Trump said this may be the most important speech I’ve ever made:

President Trump National Address on The Election: “The Most Important Speech I Ever Made” – Full Video and Transcript… – The Last RefugeThe Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

“ This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections.

On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.

In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly.

Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster.”

This reminded me that Trump signed an executive order regarding foreign interference in our election on September 12, 2018:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-s

Section 1. (a) 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. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

The election was on November 03, 2020. This report is due on December 18, 2020. More importantly, this investigation is done by the DNI in consultation with other agencies, including the CIA and the NSA. This means if there is an investigation, it was done by our intelligence agencies, not the DOJ or the FBI.

That investigation is required to report:

(i) the extent to which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, the tabulation of votes, or the timely transmission of election results; and

(ii) if any foreign interference involved activities targeting the infrastructure of, or pertaining to, a political organization, campaign, or candidate, the extent to which such activities materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, including by unauthorized access to, disclosure or threatened disclosure of, or alteration or falsification of, information or data.

There are numerous reports of foreign interference in this election, particularly regarding Dominion software. Do you think that John Ratcliff, DNI, ignored that? One thing is certain, no one will know anything unless he or President Trump decides to tell you.

Like I said, a lot of moving parts here and most people commenting on this have no clue regarding what really matters. In the meantime, the Ayes of Texas themselves could change everything.

I am sure everyone was disappointed that the Supreme Court rejected the claim filed by PA representatives. However, as expected, the MSM is reporting misleading information. The Supreme Court did not reject the claim, they just refused to issue an emergency injunction overturning the election results in Pennsylvania. They case is still open and likely to be decided later. Since Pennsylvania clearly violated the law, the plaintiffs have a good chance of winning. Even the Chief Justice of the PA Supreme Court who wrote a consenting and dissenting opinion admitting that.

This may be good news. Just overturning Pennsylvania would not be enough to change the results of the election. In addition, while the complaint is legitimate, the specific impact of this breech is difficult to quantify. The case filed by the State of Texas is far more significant.  As of now, eight other states have joined in the lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that certain officials in Defendant States presented the pandemic as justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in ballots. That is easily proved.

Here is part of what is included in that lawsuit:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-texas-files-lawsuit-against-4-states-at-supreme-court-over-election-rules

“Elections for federal office must comport with federal constitutional standards. For presidential elections, each state must appoint its electors to the electoral college in a manner that complies with the Constitution,” Paxton said in a statement. “The Electors Clause requirement that only state legislatures may set the rules governing the appointment of electors and elections and cannot be delegated to local officials. The majority of the rushed decisions, made by local officials, were not approved by the state legislatures, thereby circumventing the Constitution.”

“Without Defendant States’ combined 72 electoral votes, President Trump presumably has 232 electoral votes, and former Vice President Biden presumably has 234. Thus, Defendant States’ electors will determine the outcome of the election. Alternatively, if Defendant States are unable to certify 37 or more electors, neither candidate will have a majority in the Electoral College, in which case the election would devolve to the U.S. House of Representatives under the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

This could be a brilliant legal argument. It allows the Supreme Court to make a decision without being asked to directly determine the results of the election. The Court could simply remand this to the State Legislatures to either approve or reject the decisions made by local officials regarding this election. That would give State Legislatures, all controlled by Republicans, a valid excuse for rejecting vote by the slate of electors certified by the Governor(s). This would throw the election into congress on January 6, 2021. That would be a joint session of congress operating under unique rules. The House would choose the President, with each state getting two votes. Since Republicans control 27 states and Democrats control 21 states the advantage is for Trump. The Senate would choose the Vice President, also using two votes per state. If Republicans win one of two races in Georgia, they win there too.

In summary, while we would have liked the Supreme Court to issue the injunction in Pennsylvania, that was a rather crude attempt much less likely to succeed than the Texas lawsuit, particularly when 8 other states have joined in the lawsuit.

There is also an interesting development in Coffee County Georgia. The Board of Elections and Registration wrote a letter to the Secretary of State saying they cannot certify the electronic recount numbers, because of its inability to repeatably duplicate credible election results. It then states that “Any system, financial, voting, or otherwise that is not repeatable nor dependable should not be used.” This is very similar to what was reported in Antrim County, Michigan.

While the MSM is still pretending this is over, it obviously is not. If nothing changes, they will be right, and Joe Biden will be the next President. But there are a lot of things that could change before January 6, 2021 and it is only then that anyone will know for sure who will be the next President of the United States.

We do not know how the Supreme Court will respond to the Texas lawsuit. But even if it goes down the way of Pennsylvania, one thing is certain. This election won’t be over until January 6, 2021. That is good news, because nothing good has happened during 2020.

If you want to see how this really works, the following link discusses this in detail:

January 6, 2021, a day that will live infamy, either way.

The Supreme Court deadline for a response from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the lawsuit filed by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly was today. The first paragraph of the response is significant:

Disclose.tv 🚨 on Twitter: “JUST IN – #Pennsylvania has filed its brief (requested by Alito) to the Supreme Court. They basically urge the court not to open pandora’s box even if federal laws of the US constitution have been violated. https://t.co/OId7w3GnNH” / Twitter

Kelly’s lawsuit was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Supreme Court vacated a Commonwealth Court’s order preliminarily enjoining the Commonwealth from taking any further action regarding the certification of the results of the 2020 election.

The reasoning by the Supreme Court was not based on the merits of the suit, but rather on the doctrine of laches. That basically means they should have filed this before the election. One of the Justices, Chief Justice Saylor, filed a concurring and dissenting statement. He agreed that the court should not issue an injunctive relief restraining certification of the election. But then he went on to admit there are relevant substantial challenges regarding the constitutional validity of the new mail in voting scheme.

He also specifically said that “laches and prejudice” can never be permitted to amend the Constitution.

So far, no court has been willing to overturn the results of this election. That does not mean they did not find serious concerns, but rather that they don’t want to “disenfranchise voters.” This pattern has been consistent with all the court hearings. The courts are terrified of overturning an election.

It would be naïve to think that the Supreme Court would be any different. But it would also be naïve to think they are not very concerned about the numerous and substantial allegations of systemic fraud.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth lawyers make the same argument. That no court has ever issued an order nullifying a governor’s certification of presidential election results. They basically warn the Supreme Court that if they do this, the result would be a total loss of public trust in our constitutional order. But one could argue that this is exactly why the Supreme Court should act. There already is a lack of trust in this election, there is substance evidence of systemic fraud and failure to act disenfranchises those voters who did not cheat.

I still think the safest decision for the Supreme Court would be to issue an injunction and delegate the responsibility for determining the results of the election to the state legislature. That is, after all, what the constitution requires.

This is clearly a very important and high-risk decision for the Supreme Court. If Justice Roberts were still in control, the court would almost certainly punt. But Justice Roberts no longer controls this court, it appears to be Justice Clarence Thomas. We saw the first example of the Thomas court recently when they not only blocked the restrictions on religious freedom imposed by Governor Cuomo in New York, they vacated the decision approving these restrictions imposed by Governor Newsom in California. The current court, with the replacement of Justice Ginsburg by Justice Barrett cannot be predicted. It is important to know why the court under Roberts made the decision to not block this action by Cuomo because he said it was not necessary for the Supreme Court to rule on such a serious and difficult question. In the Supreme Court opinion overturning that, Justice Gorsuch wrote something very interesting:

20A87 Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo (11/25/2020) (supremecourt.gov)

“I can only surmise that much of the answer lies in a particular judicial impulse to stay out of the way in times of crisis. But if that impulse may be understandable or even admirable in other circumstances, we may not shelter in place when the Constitution is under attack. Things never go well when we do.”

We will soon know. The evidence of systemic fraud is obvious to everyone, except the MSM who pretends to be the sole source of authority regarding this election. One must assume that the Supreme Court justices are aware of this. The question is when is enough enough? Will the Supreme Court “shelter in place” or act because the Constitution is under attack? If Ginsburg were on this court, with Roberts in charge, the answer would obviously be to shelter in place. But, while Roberts remains Chief Justice, he still only gets one vote. Hold your breath.
