"Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel sent a ‘cease and desist’ letter to Big League Politics about their exclusive content #DetroitLeaks that outlined poll worker training wherein workers were bragging about committing voter fraud in a variety of different ways.
"The intrepid reporter who broke this story, Shane Trejo, was also one who was a witness for the voter fraud in Detroit. Trejo says he considers this “witness intimidation” and is fearful that it will be used as pretext for some criminal actions.
"In the shocking letter dated Oct. 28, the Michigan Attorney General cites to two or three factual errors in the bulk of Trejo’s reporting and demands on behalf of the Michigan government to take every single article related to #DetroitLeaks off the internet.
"Shane received the letter today. It was marked October 28."
"The series of leaks also revealed that even challenged ballots would be processed as regular ballots. Incoming State Representative Steve Carra and Michigan activist Bob Cushman filed a successful lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over the explosive allegations that poll workers were being trained in how to commit voter fraud.
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered ...
Nothing exists except an endless present in which The Party is always right."
"It was smarter to revile than to revere ... more fashionable to depreciate than to appreciate ...
"Debunking is ... a sign of decaying foundations."
"The book, A People's History of the United States (1980), written by socialist author Howard Zinn, is of this debunking genre." . . .
Civil War: Tucker Carlson Hits His Own Network in Epic Post-Election Monologue"As I wrote last night, Fox News seems intent on driving its current audience away. They are now getting into the practice of “protecting” viewers from information they don’t like. In the latest example, they cut away from a presser held by Kayleigh McEnany in which evidenced claims of voter fraud were made, including citing of the court cases being filed. Neil Cavuto smugly declared that he couldn’t expose whoever bothers to watch his show to that information in “good conscience,” mimicking a practice popularized by CNN (which of course they never apply to liberal politicians).
"Tucker Carlson had apparently seen enough last night. He took a largely unprecedented swipe at his own network for their behavior in what was a far-reaching, epic post-election monologue.
"We’ll get to the broader monologue in a minute, as it covers a lot of ground. But in regards to the above clip, Tucker is clearly throwing shade at Fox News for cutting away from Trump’s presser earlier in the day. As he explains, you can’t just demand people “accept” what you want them to accept as a news organization. People can not be forced to acquiesce to what are ultimately issues of opinion, i.e. whether the election is “over” or not despite vote counting and challenges still being ongoing.
"As RedState covered, Chris Wallace actually got incensed that Ted Cruz wouldn’t call Joe Biden “president-elect,” a made-up office that doesn’t even exist, much less is it a viable term before the electors cast their votes. Tucker nails that attitude to the wall, noting that it is not his network’s job, nor the job of any news outlet, to ignore legitimate questions from citizens or to declare them improper and unclean. That is dictatorial, illiberalism, not something that promotes an environment of free discussion.
Obama Invents 'Office of the President-Elect' . . . "Writer Larry Anderson referred to the “made-up little title” on the American Thinker Web site, and declared: “I nearly busted a gut ..." “ 'Once again, [Obama] can’t wait to invest himself with the trappings of office.' " . . .
"Tucker didn’t stop there though. Here’s the rest of what he had to say, and it’s worth every minute of the watch."
"It’s been progressively getting worse. But when they called Arizona for Joe Biden even before the New York Times and a lot of the left-wing media and continued to review the election in a manner hostile to the president, that was too much for many Fox viewers." . . .
‘Whoa, whoa, whoa’: Neil Cavuto slammed after he cuts off Kayleigh McEnany presser“ 'There is only one party in America trying to keep observers out of the [vote] count room, and that party, my friends, is the Democrat Party,” McEnany said. “You don’t oppose an audit of the vote because you want an accurate count. You don’t oppose our efforts at sunlight, at transparency, because you have nothing to hide. You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting.”
"That’s when Cavuto cut away, saying: “Whoa, whoa, whoa! She’s charging that the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing this.”
"(Cavuto’s snub was so egregious, Fox colleague Tucker took a swipe at him later on his show):" . .
"Reminder: Cavuto, Fox News, and the mainstream media relentlessly covered the sham “gang rape” accusations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh despite the fact that the flimsy claims were not supported by any real evidence.
" 'Even if you disagree with the Trump campaign’s assertions that "Democrats committed election fraud, the mere fact that the sitting U.S. president is making such an allegation is a newsworthy event that the media should cover."
Fox News pays the price for betraying its viewership"Under Roger Ailes, Fox News was reliably conservative. When he left, and when Rupert Murdoch handed the reins over to his sons James and Lachlan, things started getting shaky. James, the fiery leftist, left Fox only this July. Now Lachlan, who is married to a fiery leftist, is at the helm, helped by Paul Ryan, the RINO rodent, among others on the Board. With this leadership, while voters have rightly suspected creeping NeverTrumperism in the newsroom for some time now, it all came to a head with this election.
"Things went pretty sour for viewers when Chris Wallace turned the first presidential debate into a three-way affair, with Wallace siding with Biden. Nevertheless, viewers were willing to give Fox another chance on election night. Fox failed that test.
"The kill switch for many viewers was that Fox News hired a hard leftist to run its election desk on Election Night. Predictably, Arnon Mishkin called the race in ways only a leftist could love. With hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, he called Arizona for Biden. Meanwhile, he refused to call obviously pro-Trump states such as Texas and Alaska.
We have bloggers with lots of time on their hands going through voter rolls and showing that person after person who voted in a swing state also fought in the Civil War or maybe the War of 1812. It was funny at first, but the overwhelming number now goes beyond humor and rubs our faces in it.
Jay Valentine"Like many, I spent the last few nights waking up at 2:03 A.M., no reason, then looking at my phone for news, any news, that might be positive for President Trump. I survived on Rush, Bongino, Mark Levin. When the news continued to be ugly, I even checked in on ridiculous bloggers promising that ballots were watermarked and D.J. (our household name for a president we love) was actually launching a sting on the Deep State.
"Enough already. Stop the madness.
"Hey, I have a degree in statistics, and I have some level of critical thought. If there is such pessimism in my tribe, I am not going along.
"So today, I started to dig into the numbers, and as I did, I fought my confirmation bias at every step.
"I realized that I, like millions of others, had been numbed into despondency by the overwhelming press, media, social media push to certify President-Elect Biden. (I put that in there so you can see how repellent it is.)
"Hey guys, this thing is not only not over; it is scary for Biden. I mean really scary, and most of all, the media know it. Thus, the rush to get everyone in line with the narrative that a 78-year-old, early-dementia former V.P., who could not draw a crowd larger than a dozen, just beat D.J. in a fair election.
"Process that for a moment.
"Start with Pennsylvania. Biden, as of this writing, is at 290 electoral votes. Pennsylvania is 20.
"I read the Justice Alito opinion, and it is pretty clear that he wants the after election night at 8:00 P.M. votes separated for a reason. Biden is going to lose at the Supreme Court, and they know it. Four justices already said the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cannot adjust voting rules. A new arrival, Justice Barrett, says she is there to apply the rules in the Constitution. OK, wanna bet she does?" . . .
However, those election-thief conspirators that took the analog route by corrupting hard-copy ballots, by either throwing away Trump votes and/or adding illegal Biden votes, well, they can become cooperating witnesses. Or else too bad for them because I hope they enjoy their stay at a “Club Fed” and living with a lifelong felony conviction in the thereafter.
The tide is already turning for President Trump "Attorney General Barr just mobilized the Department of Justice to engage as appropriate to investigate election fraud throughout America. He is on very solid legal grounds. It is a very simple means of addressing the greatest attempted political theft in American history and I would rather be us, Trump Nation, than them, the Democrat party's illegal operatives.
"This is because President Trump and his team laid the legal ground work for identifying and prosecuting such criminal behavior in 2017:
Federal Prosecution of Election Offensives
Eight Edition 2017
“Our constitutional system of representative government only works when the worth of honest ballots is not diluted by invalid ballots procured by corruption.
"The actual fact that AG late last night triggered the use of the DOJ legal handbook bodes very ill for those who are involved in electoral cheating.
"For them, when the men and women in suits arrive on their doorstep to politely inquire "can you explain this," with “this” being one of many the many felonies listed above, the campaign operative is likely to immediately have a life-altering moment. As often is said: you can go easy or you can go hard, but make no mistake, you are going to address your behavior. And as the joke goes, never steal anything small and the Democrat team certainly took that to heart." . . .
"Feminist author Naomi Wolf has angered everyone on both sides of the political spectrum by admitting she had no idea what Joe Biden supported before voting for him and now she regrets it. “If I’d known Biden was open to ‘lockdowns’ as he now states, which is something historically unprecedented in any pandemic, and a terrifying practice, one that won’t ever end because elites love it, I would never have voted for him,” she wrote.
"But people who are not trapped in the New York Times and CNN bubble already knew this and tried to point it out to her. People who never go outside of mainstream media have a completely false view of reality, where President Trump called white supremacists “fine people” (he didn’t) and told people to “drink bleach” (he didn’t)." . . .
“Let’s not have any lectures, no lectures, about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election and who insinuated that this one would be illegitimate too if they lost again — only if they lost,” the majority leader added. In fact, millions of Americans signed a petition urging the electors to vote for Hillary Clinton after Trump won in 2016.
PJ Media"On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) celebrated Republican victories in the 2020 elections and defended President Donald Trump’s decision to challenge the preliminary results of the presidential race. He emphasized that “no states have yet certified their election results” and noted that the American system is actually built to allow for legal challenges in the case of serious election concerns.
“ 'According to preliminary results, voters across the nation elected and reelected Republican senators to a degree that actually stunned prognosticators,” McConnell noted. “Likewise, the American people seem to have reacted to house Democrats’ radicalism and obstruction by shrinking the House speaker’s majority and electing more Republicans. And then there’s the presidential race.”
. . .
"While Trump’s challenges should be taken seriously, at this point, Biden’s leads seem too considerable for recounts or specific complaints — like post-Election Day ballots in Pennsylvania — to overturn the expected result. It is premature for news outlets to call Biden the president-elect, but Trump has a rather large hurdle to cross.
"Americans should support a vigorous debate about the challenges that Trump and his campaign raise, in order to deal with serious concerns and ultimately put fears to rest, whether or not those challenges ultimately reverse Biden’s leads.
"No matter who wins the presidential election, it will be better for the country if neither side fears that voter fraud or other election shenanigans cost its candidate the presidency. McConnell was right to defend Trump’s challenges and Americans should take them seriously."
Do they think we can’t remember that the Obama Administration corrupted the peaceful transfer of power, set up Mike Flynn, spied on Trump campaign and transition people? And the media was complicit?! Do they think we’ve forgotten the lives they destroyed and the people they defamed?
"One can’t help but wonder if their calls for unity are in reality demands for submission.
"Submit to us and we’ll unite with you, otherwise, you’re a racist who supports lies, hate, chaos and division!
Ben Shapiro
@benshapiro
Joe Biden is calling for unity. That’s nice. I look forward to his condemnation of Michelle Obama, who suggested that 70 million Americans who didn’t vote for Biden supported “lies, hate, chaos and division” in order to vote for the “status quo.”
I don't know about you, but I'm going to jettison Fox in my house. Tucker Carlson gets an exemption because Fox apparently is still giving him independence. The same is true for Greg Gutfeld. However, if you want actual news, go to Newsmax or OAN (One American News Network). Both report the news honestly and are equally honest in their support for conservatism, rather than the weak-sauce anti-Trump RINOism that is infecting Fox.
Andrea Widburg"Fox News's Judge Jeanine Pirro has a regular slot on Saturday night at 9 P.M. for her show Justice. Many viewers consider her their Saturday night date. However, this past Saturday, Judge Jeanine was a no-show. The reason? It seems that Fox News was not going to tolerate her strong defense of President Trump.
"A little background is useful here. When Rupert Murdoch stepped down from Fox Corp., he handed the reins over to his sons James and Lachlan. James is a hard-left Trump-hater. He finally left Fox in July because he couldn't stand its politics.
"Lachlan now heads Fox. While he's more conservative than his brother, which is good, let's talk about Lachlan's wife, Sarah Murdoch. If you check out the information at the FEC regarding her individual political contributions, you see donations to Biden, the Lincoln Project, and the DNC, all in fairly small-dollar amounts.
"Beginning in January 2019, Sarah also donated on a daily basis — sometimes several times a day — to ActBlue. Someone wiser in the ways of political donations than I can explain her daily $3–$5 donations to that Democrat-funding organization for almost two years. Whatever Lachlan's politics is, at home, he's getting a steady Democrat drumbeat from his wife. Rumor has long had it that Sarah was the driving force behind firing Bill O'Reilly.
"In March 2019, Fox welcomed Paul Ryan, a spineless NeverTrump, to the Board. Ryan has allegedly long been pushing Fox to dump Trump. Other Trump-hostile people at Fox are Donna Brazile (who ought to be shunned for helping Hillary cheat), Martha MacCallum, Juan Williams, Neil Cavuto, and Chris Wallace. You remember Chris, don't you? He was the one who stabbed Trump in the back and the chest during the first presidential debate.
"Still, because Fox News is more conservative than MSNBCBSABCNPRPBS, the monolithic hard-left Democrat propaganda media outlet(s), it's long been the go-to place for Trump-supporters. Tucker Carlson remains a bright spot, as do Greg Gutfeld and his panel. The remaining Fox News team members are increasingly suspect." . . .
"It’s unclear if the point on the 2020 election timeline has been reached that allows for serious discussion of legal challenges around what the Trump camp is suggesting looks like widespread fraud. Too early and the newly gracious and delicate media will revert back to hurling invective, painting those giving such insane notions quarter as mad and pathologically incapable of just letting a legitimate loss go. But the Trump administration’s legal challenge — and his legal team has shown amazing resolve in revealing only little bits here and there — is starting to take shape, and it could put as many as 94 electoral college votes in play by some estimates. So here’s to risking the smear.
"There are many angles the Trump administration could take based on anecdotal reports out of many states. In Michigan and Georgia there were problems with glitches in the vote counting software (Dominion, used in 28 states, which has its own interesting history I won’t get into here except to say in 2010 it bought the software named in a federal investigation into the 2004 recall election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela). It should be noted, the Michigan county in question is disputing Dominion — used in almost all other Michigan counties — was the source of the glitch. Georgia, however, has four counties that experienced some kind of tech glitch, Spalding and Morgan counties, Gwinnett (which led to a delay counting absentee ballots), and Fulton (which led to people being asked to fill out provisional ballots). Fulton has also indicated a problem with their vote count reporting leading to a rescanning of some ballots.
"Then there’s Nevada, where a whistleblower has come forward indicating he witnessed illegal ballots being counted." . . .
"President-elect Joe Biden has already selected the heads of his coronavirus taskforce, including the surgeon general who was fired soon after President Trump took office.
"Vivek Murthy, who was the nation’s top doctor when Biden was vice president under President Barack Obama, will be named as one of the co-chairs along with former Food and Drug Administration commissioner David Kessler, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, told NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday." . . .
"Murthy was appointed by Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate in December 2014 after a long delay. Murthy had incurred the wrath of the National Rifle Association by saying gun control was a “healthcare issue”.
"While Americans were focused on communist-driven violent riots and Chinese coronavirus tyranny, the most powerful players in the mainstream media were scheming to launch a coup against President Donald Trump using the deceptively-named “Trusted News Initiative.” The TNI was also put in place to silence dissent on the preferred coronavirus narrative.
"On July 13, 2020, Variety reported that the TNI “is setting up a shared early warning system of rapid alerts to combat the spread of disinformation during the upcoming U.S. Presidential election.”
"The idea is that the mainstream media coordinate their message to shut down voices they deem contrary to their narrative.
"It is unclear who elected the mainstream media and massive corporations such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Twitter to be the Arbiters of Truth, yet that is exactly with TNI purports itself to be, referring to their effort as “an industry collaboration of major news and global tech organizations working together to stop the spread of disinformation where it poses risk of real world harm.”
“ 'Some people have tried to turn the term ‘mainstream media’ into a form of abuse to undermine credibility, but we are on the public’s side and will fight tirelessly to get high-quality journalism to as many people as possible,” said Tony Hall, President, European Broadcasting Union.
"The effort is reminiscent of JournoList, which was a secret email list run by Vox’s Ezra Klein to coordinate pro-Obama messages. JournoList included dozens of progressive journalists, and even included Jared Bernstein, chief economist for then-Vice President Joe Biden.
"The “Trusted News Initiative” is JournoList on steroids." More here...
