Being a legal analyst often makes you a killjoy at a party. As millions broke out in celebration over the calling of the election for Joe Biden (including most of my immediate family), I watched with a mix of shared excitement and silent apprehension. It does appear that Biden won this election and his speech last night was the perfect pitch and message for a divided nation. However, there are still legal challenges being filed in a half dozen, new affidavits containing troubling sworn allegations, and relatively close state contests. As someone who has covered presidential elections for networks going...

**SNIP** Now there are six states in dispute: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin and Michigan. So why is it that merely four days after the current election and with six states being contested in lawsuits by President Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared on a Fox News affiliate, all smiles and speeches, claiming a premature victory? Sidney Powell, attorney on President Trump’s legal team was interviewed on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the software glitches that occurred in battleground state voting sites. When asked about the voting irregularities this is what Ms. Powell stated: “The computer...

We want courts to order audits of the results. This document breaks down step by step what is done in each county when that process begins. Just checking voter registrations against who voted against the social security death records might flip Michigan. https://www.michigan.gov/documents/sos/Post_Election_Audit_Manual_418482_7.pdf

In the 2018 midterm elections, more than 187,000 Pennsylvania voters cast a traditional absentee ballot, and for the millions who chose to vote in-person at their precincts, it only required a few touches of an electronic screen. But as a result of a much-needed bipartisan makeover of the way the battleground state administers its elections and a pandemic that pushed voters into seeking safe options, nearly 4 out of every 10 voters in this year’s presidential election cast an absentee ballot. And when the results came in, what was originally intended to be another option to vote ended up as...

First, let me start out by reminding the goose-stepping list-makers of the left that my last name contains two H’s. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that it was me who supported President Donald Trump and not some other guy. I write this in Las Vegas, where I answered Ric Grenell’s call to come out and help with the Nevada post-election chaos. I’m not going to talk about specifics here, but I’ve seen individual and systemic irregularities that are sometimes shocking. The idea that we are suppose to just shrug and accept this fiasco and go on...

We got a taste this morning of the kind of civil war brewing within the Democrat party should Joe Biden indeed become the next president. Appearing on MSNBC's AM Joy show, Brittney Cooper, a Rutgers professor of women's, gender, and Africana studies, issued a demand coupled with a stark warning to Biden. Her demand: Biden must "pony up" with policies and "real investments" for black people in general, and black women in particular, whom she described as being responsible for his victory [if such it was.] Her warning to Biden: don't "make this about appealing to centrist voters and Trump...

It’s just the flu, bro. The lack of love for freedom held by a large percentage of the population is one of the reason GOP politicians are cowards about the Coronavirus. Until the population loves liberty over security politicians will err on the side of security. Trump is a great leader and a fighter but verbally articulating the virtue of liberty over security has not been his focus (his actions were better than his words when it came to liberty). So which is it that we need first - the people to love liberty or a politician to articulate the...

In the court of popular opinion, the officers in whose custody Mr. Floyd died have already been tried and convicted of manslaughter, if not murder. Fortunately for said officers, we have a judicial system in this country in which a jury of their peers—not public opinion—will decide their fate. I do not have any personal acquaintance with any of the officers or with the late Mr. Floyd, and I have never been either a law enforcement officer or a criminal (Mr. Floyd had been previously imprisoned for armed robbery and narcotics violations), so my interest in the matter is not...

Yes, it is true. Philadelphia did in fact keep poll watchers out. The baloney propaganda that they were allowed in to do their job is, as the censors of Facebook might say, “partly false.” Quite clearly, once allowed into the polling place they were told they had to stand six feet away from the person doing the counting. (And only after a storm of complaints was the distance whittled down from over three times as far to six feet.) Plain old-fashioned common sense says there is no way in the world anyone can thoroughly examine a ballot from six feet...

Orange County announced Sunday that it will conduct a risk-limiting audit of ballots aimed at strengthening the integrity of the 2020 presidential election process by providing "strong statistical evidence that the election outcome is correct." The risk-limiting audit will take place on Nov. 13 at the Registrar of Voters building located at 1300 South Grand Avenue, Building C in Santa Ana, and will be conducted in addition to the one percent tally of precincts, according to Registrar officials. "Conducting a risk-limiting audit is an excellent way to audit elections and provide an important check on the integrity of the election...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blamed 'Republican narratives' for tearing Democrats apart as she revealed over the weekend she considered not running for reelection due to in-house fighting between the progressive and establishment arms of the Party. When asked by The NY Times if she would consider running for the Senate if Biden's administration ended up being too 'hostile' toward progressive causes, she said, 'I genuinely don't know. I don't even know if I want to be in politics. You know, for real, in the first six months of my term, I didn't even know if I was going to run for re-election...

Pakistan has blocked the YouTube channel of an Indian YouTuber who goes by the name of Zafar Heretic, an ex-Muslim atheist, for speaking out against Islamic extremism, Jagran has reported. The YouTuber is an outspoken critic of Islam and publishes videos on YouTube where he elaborates on the dichotomy between Islam and what its adherents preach. Zafar Heretic considers himself to be an-Muslim atheist and has published 17 videos thus far on his YouTube channel. On one of his videos, he has documented why he left Islam. He mentions that once upon a time he used to believe that critics...

Patrisse Cullors, one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement, has sent a letter to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, congratulating them on their win. Cullors also requested a meeting with the pair to "discuss the expectations that we have for your administration and the commitments that must be made to Black people."

Governor and Utah Department of Health Issue Statewide Mask Mandate, Pause Extracurricular Activities, Ask Utahns to Limit Gatherings to Household Only Following weeks of continued stress on Utah’s hospital networks due to a rise in cases of COVID-19, Gov. Gary R. Herbert has declared a new State of Emergency to address hospital overcrowding. The situation is dire and unsustainable. We must take action now to protect our hospitals and healthcare workers and to avoid further devastation on our families, communities, and businesses. Along with the State of Emergency, the governor and Utah Department of Health have issued concurrent executive and...

BEIJING - China, which has held off on congratulating U.S. presidential election winner Joe Biden even as leaders of other countries have done so, said on Monday it would follow custom in responding to the result. “We noticed that Mr. Biden has declared election victory,” foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a daily media briefing. “We understand that the U.S. presidential election result will be determined following U.S. law and procedures.” In 2016, Xi sent congratulations to Trump on Nov. 9, a day after the election.

Hundreds of Orthodox Jewish mourners gathered on the Lower East Side of Manhattan on Sunday for the funeral of a prominent rabbi despite social distancing rules - a day after thousands took to the streets to mark Joe Biden's election win. The mourners were packed together shoulder to shoulder for the funeral for Rabbi Dovid Feinstein, 91, outside the Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem, a 113-year-old yeshiva - or religious Jewish education institution - that he headed. The gathering was in violation of social distancing guidelines, but such restrictions have been routinely ignored for the past 24 hours in New York City...

The Trump administration, in coordination with Israel and several Gulf states, is pushing a plan to slap a long string of new sanctions on Iran in the 10 weeks left until Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, two Israeli sources briefed on the effort told me. Why it matters: The Trump administration believes such a “flood” of sanctions will increase pressure on the Iranians and make it harder for the Biden administration to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, the Israeli sources told me. Behind the scenes: In the last several weeks, the Trump administration — with the encouragement and assistance...

It’s no secret. Facebook and Twitter have been relentlessly attacking conservative media outlets, Republicans, and Trump supporters for quite some time, but this week, they took their actions to a whole new level. The two tech giants have squelched the President; censored major conservative-leaning media outlets and personalities; and essentially declared an information war against anyone who disagrees with their political views. Parler, a social media alternative to Facebook and Twitter, owned in part by Conservative media figure Dan Bongino has welcome “Faceblock” and “Shtitter” political refugees with open arms and it has paid off. This week Parler became the...
