Kamila Harris just provided clear evidence of why the Biden campaign has been hiding her. She released a video sharing her Kwanzaa message:

VP-Elect Harris shares Kwanzaa message | | wfsb.com

“You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa,” said Harris. “Every year, our family would – and our extended family, we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we’d tell stories. The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders would sit in chairs, and we would light the candles, and of course, afterwards have a beautiful meal. And, of course, there was always the discussion of the seven principles. And my favorite, I have to tell you, was always the one about self-determination, kujichagulia.”

“And, you know, essentially it’s about be and do. Be the person you want to be, and do the things you want to do, and do the things that need to be done,” she continued. “It’s about not letting anyone write our future for us, but instead going out and writing it for ourselves. And that principle motivates me today, as we seek to confront the challenges facing our country and to build a brighter future for all Americans. So, to everyone who is celebrating, Happy Kwanzaa from our family to yours.”

This was trolled mercilessly on Twitter.  One example is from someone who is actually “Jamaican.”

We “Jamaicans” do not celebrate Kwanzaa. Also, being first-generation myself, I’m confused as to how you could celebrate with multiple generations. This is such a fake post, I understand it’s intent, but please do not be fake about it. Just say happy Kwanzaa.

The real issue here is why Kamala Harris felt the need to lie about this. It is something she shares with Joe Biden, the need to lie about things that shouldn’t matter. Biden claimed he graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and that he was the outstanding student in the political science department. None of that was true.

https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/499065-lies-damned-lies-and-the-truth-about-joe-biden#:~:text=In%20fact%2C%20Biden%20has%20a%20long%20history%20of,campaign%

Ironically, Biden himself explained the reason he lied. In his own book, Promises to Keep, also full of lies, he explained why he did it in this case: “it sounded to me that one of my own supporters doubted my intelligence.” 

This is the real problem with both Harris and Biden. Neither have a sufficient record of actual achievement necessary to justify their current positions. They both know that, so they both lie repeatedly, trying to convince others and themselves, that they are competent. Truly competent people do not do that. They don’t need to do that.

A lot of people are lying to you. They are desperate to convince you of things that are not true. While they sound arrogant and self-assured, it is really the opposite. If the truth were on their side, they would not bother to lie.

Trump and Giuliani are promising that the truth will be exposed very soon. So far, they have not delivered on those promises. The real question we should all ask ourselves is this. What are the facts? Did Joe Biden really get 80 million votes or are the reports of systemic corruption a better explanation? We should not base this on what we want to believe, but rather on the facts and evidence. Do we believe the hundreds of people who personally witnessed voter fraud, or the people who say voter fraud is extremely rare? Do we believe Dominion machines and Smartmatic software are totally reliable or do we believe those who say these machines were manipulated?

One thing is certain. This election was rigged, if not on election day, then by the gross misrepresentation over the past 12 months by the MSM, Google, Facebook, and Twitter. If the truth has been told about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden wouldn’t have come close to winning this election. The same people lie about Donald Trump at every opportunity.  If the truth comes out, after Joe Biden is President and has mucked things up to a fare-thee-well, then the widespread anger will be unfathomable.

I do not know who will be elected President on January 6, 2021, but I do know this will still be the greatest country on this planet regardless of who is the temporary occupant of the White House. I also know that truth will always out, in the end.

Something big is obviously going on. Last week there were numerous reports of a four-hour plus meeting in the White House regarding the tactics to contest the results of the election. It was, by all accounts, a very heated discussion. There were the traditional leaks that painted this in the worst possible way. But perhaps the best account was from Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Overstock.com, who was in the meeting. The following article explains a lot about this man:

Maria Butina: Russian agent deported from US to Moscow – BBC News

Byrne, Sidney Powell, and Lt. General Michael Flynn were all part of that meeting. Powell has been back to the White House twice since then, including Monday when Trump met with Republican congressional representatives. Congressional representatives who left pledging to contest the results of the electoral college on January 6, 2021.

Trump is President of the United States and he has access to the DOJ and our intelligence agencies who should have been able to verify election fraud if it happened. But, so far, no one has really made the case. If there was massive fraud, which seems beyond obvious, there must be more than this.

The person in charge right now is Donald Trump. He does not play by anyone else’s rules and history shows us that he gets things done no one thought possible. The peace efforts in the Middle East, violating every rule of diplomacy, are proof of that.

We have never had a year like this. Almost anything is possible. Somethings are clear. Somethings border on bizarre. Either Sidney Powell has the evidence, or she is a delusional fool. A President of the United States knows things no one else knows, but he is also one of the most sheltered people on this planet and sometimes it is impossible to get information past his gate keepers. If you want to see how this works, watch Tora, Tora, Tora again. See how the Military Establishment decided when and what information was provided to FDR.

This President, more than most, has a history of bypassing the establishment. He gets input from people who strongly disagree with the status quo. That is one reason the establishment hates him. Some, perhaps most, of the people giving him advice know less than he does about the subject.

Real life is always messy. Trump was told by Fauci and Birx that if he did not lock down the country, 2.5 million people would die. That was wrong. As of today, there are reportedly 1.7 million deaths world-wide, and that is probably over-stated. COVID 19 is very real, but the exaggeration of the risk is equally real. A lot of people, particularly Governors in Democratic states, made drastic decisions based more on emotion than on scientific reality. Today we are all paying a harsh price for those decisions.

In my professional career I learned that it is critical to ask questions from people who think outside the box. There were many times when people I knew and respected recommended one thing, but someone else, mostly ignored, had a very different opinion. Sometimes, those opinions turned out to be most accurate. Sometimes the person who looks at this from a completely different perspective is the one with the clearest vision.

So far, Trump has listened to the professionals regarding how to contest this election, and they have let him down. His legal team has often looked like a clown show, losing more often than it wins. That is because they were playing on the opposition’s field under the opposition’s rules with the opposition’s referees.

Donald Trump is a lot of things, but he is not stupid, and he is not delusional. He knows that unless something changes, he is on his way out of the White House. That does not mean he has given up and it does not mean that he is going to do something drastic like declare martial law. Trump has a history of disruptive and rash rhetoric, but he also has a history of making good decisions.

Trump is now listening to people ignored by almost everyone one. Sidney Powell is at the top of that list. She is either delusional, or she is right. She can either prove systemic fraud, or she can’t. As for me, the hardest thing to believe is that 80 million people really voted for Joe Biden. That is what seems delusional.

Trump is clearly taking over and only a fool underestimates this man. He is listening to all sides and letting people literally shout it out. He has done that before. Sometimes, letting people voice the unthinkable is the shortest path toward reality. It is often those who go against the flow that change the world.

I do not like Jeff Bezos. But he saw the potential for Amazon long before anyone else.  As recently as 2013, Amazon was nearly bankrupt. But Bezos reimagined how people would buy things if he could get this right and he is now the richest man in the world. The person who will push him off this throne is already out there; you just don’t know who that is yet.

This is guaranteed to be a wild week. Trump is going to do something. The clock is ticking, and he is running out of time. He either acts now or faces certain defeat. He already declared December 24, 2020 a national holiday. Perhaps, just perhaps, he is preparing us all for a very White (House) Christmas.

William Barr clearly knew that the FBI and the DOJ were investigating Hunter Biden. He also knew that this involved Joe Biden to at least some degree. But he chose to not disclose this, before the election, because the DOJ has a policy against doing anything that would interfere with an election. That sounds like an honorable decision by an honorable man. But this case is different because the allegations are that Hunter Biden was selling influence regarding China, among others, and there is a strong possibility that Joe Biden was involved. That would make Joe Biden’s actions bordering on treason. The American people had a right to know that, regardless of the political consequences.

I strongly believe that a lot of people are going to have serious regrets regarding this situation. Few of them considered the consequences of failing to disclose this and people learning about it only after the election. People are always angry when they learn they had been told lies. But they are most angry when this is done by people who demanded that we trust them.

FOX News is learning this the hard way. The network is shredding viewers and may never recover. One person at the Valdosta rally for Trump last week said it very well: “We trusted you.”

If Biden is sworn in as President, he will instantly be operating under a cloud. He already has a serious problem with the obviously rigged election. If ratified by congress, Biden would take office, in failing health, increasing senility, a collapsing economy, and a pandemic that will not go away.  Yesterday he said kids could go back to school as early as next fall. He also has Kamala Harris literally breathing down his neck.

To make things worse, add in the Swalwell spy gate fiasco. Republicans in the Senate are going to investigate “China” collusion with the DNC, and odds are they are going to find stuff, lots of stuff. In short, if Biden win, he loses. Those people who lied and collaborated to inflict this disaster on the American people will pay an even higher price. They will have achieved a fundamental change in this country, but it won’t be the change they want or expect. In their lust for total power, they will soon find themselves completely out of power.

Millions and I do mean millions, of people are likely to show up in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 holding signs and chanting stop the steal. Republican politicians are typically timid creatures afraid to make difficult decisions. They fear overturning this election because they fear the wrath of the American people. This demonstration may remind them that they may have more to fear from ratifying an obviously fraudulent election than from doing the right thing. I doubt that many Republicans, other than Mitt Romney, think this election was even close to fair. I doubt that many of them, including Mitt Romney, think Joe Biden is remotely capable of being President of the United States.

Failure to confront evil, is not honorable, it is cowardness. If someone or something does not reverse course and stop Joe Biden from stealing the Presidency, we are headed toward tumultuous times. It is impossible to overstate this.

Imagine facts coming out proving that Hunter Biden did take millions from China, the Ukraine and Russia in exchange for peddling influence. That seems almost certain. Imagine that emails directly implicate the former VP and current President of the United States. That also is extremely likely.

Once again people are asking: “what did the President know and when did he know it.” Biden would likely respond by either firing the prosecutor or pardoning Hunter. He cannot afford to let the investigation continue. That would create a huge dilemma. Do you impeach Biden only to have him replaced by someone like Kamala Harris, who would likely then nominate Gavin Newsom to be her VP? How do you think people would respond to that?

How will people respond to Biden’s insane plan to fight climate change by putting harsh restrictions on us, ignored by everyone else in the world? How will they respond to increasing lockdowns and vaccine distribution focused on social justice rather than common sense? How will they respond to higher taxes and a demand for unity while demonizing anyone who disagrees with him? How will they respond to a President of the United States who cannot answer any questions without a script, and he will botch that too?

The only good news is that progressives and moderate Democrats will be just as disgusted with Joe Biden as everyone else. All of this is predictable and preventable. It just takes people with the courage to recognize the obvious, and to take the action required to prevent all this. The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good people to do nothing. Pretending evil does not exist, when the evidence is all around you is not a recipe for success. There is no honor among thieves and far too little honor displayed by members of congress or the Supreme Court.

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.

On December 13, 2020, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued the following statement:

Active Exploitation of SolarWinds Software | CISA

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is aware of active exploitation of SolarWinds Orion Platform software versions 2019.4 HF 5 through 2020.2.1 HF 1, released between March 2020 and June 2020.’

SolarWinds acknowledge that this happened, but said it involved fewer than 18,000 customers. Its stock crashed today:

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.
