INTRO: Stop the Ballot Madness! Today’s US electronic vote system, used in Trump v. Biden, including swing states, was originally designed, funded and deployed in communist Venezuela. Co-owned by the Venezuelan government and state-owned Bitza software. CIA reported in first use, Smartmatic falsified an election for dictator Hugo Chavez to stymie a recall. Says NY Times: “Smartmatic was a little-known firm with no experience in voting technology before it was chosen by the Venezuelan authorities to replace the country’s elections machinery ahead of a contentious referendum that confirmed Mr. Chávez as president in August 2004.”Does Smartmatic still sabotage elections?Kelly O’Connell’s...

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has moved forward to confirm a number of federal judges this week and praised President Trump for their nominations. “While our committees are working, the full Senate is keeping busy with one of our core constitutional responsibilities: continuing to confirm well-qualified men and women to lifetime appointments to the federal judiciary," McConnell said from the Senate floor Tuesday. "Yesterday, we voted to advance the nomination of Kristi Haskins Johnson, the current Solicitor General of Mississippi with multiple impressive clerkships under her belt, to serve as a District Judge for the Southern District of Mississippi. She’ll...

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday said all the state law requires is observers be allowed “‘in the room’ where ballots are counted. The law does not set a minimum distance between them and the counting tables…The legislature didn’t provide one, and the court can’t, either.”

CNA Staff, Nov 17, 2020 / 07:00 am MT (CNA).- A Polish Catholic university rejected Saturday claims that St. John Paul II failed to combat clerical abuse. The rector’s college of the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin said Nov. 14 that the assertions had no factual basis and lamented the “fallacious accusations, calumnies, and slander directed recently against our patron saint.” In a statement, the rector and vice-chancellors of the university in eastern Poland said: “The subjective theses expressed by some circles are by no means substantiated by facts and objective findings -- for example, presented in the...

In interviews with the Hill, Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) suggested that a deal could be struck between Democrats, Republicans, and a potential Biden White House on the nation’s illegal and legal immigration system. Grassley said such a deal would need to be “somewhere in between” the vocal open-borders wing of the Democrat Party and the immigration reformers of the Republican Party. A middle ground, as previous deals highlighted, generally includes some form of amnesty for illegal aliens. “It’s kind of a case of the extreme points of view — like people who think we can load...

This work has now been translated into Italian with the title Benedetto XVI. Una vita (Garzanti), and so we are now able to better understand the pope's words. 'Humanistic Ideologies' EncroachingThe crucial question placed by Seewald to Ratzinger is this: "One phrase from your first homily as pope has remained particularly impressed in our memory: 'Pray for me, that I may not flee for...

Bill Kristol @BillKristol From the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, to the firing of Chris Krebs, to the DOD announcement about drawing down troops--I'm going to say it: I AM ALARMED.

Powerful interview. https://youtu.be/IZp8e3Mcmdc

"Well, I say I can't enforce the order because I think it's unconstitutional." "Under the Constitution, the order is very vague and it says, '10 or less people is the most you can have in your private residence.' Well I don't think that the Constitution allows for the infringement of the number of people you have in your own home," Giardino said. "So, he [Cuomo] has authority to do a lot, but not to tell us as law enforcement to go into people's houses and count who's there."

VIDEO Ukraine filing serious charges against Joe Biden.

The Wayne County, Michigan Board of Canvassers deadlocked on a 2-2 party line vote on whether to certify the results of the November 3 elections, with the two Republican members refusing to approve the vote because of poll books that did not match vote tallies. Wayne County includes the city of Detroit where most of the problems occurred. According to the current count, Joe Biden leads President Trump by just under 150,000 votes statewide. Detroit election worker puts up paper to block citizen observers of election count, November 4, file image. The next step will be for the state board...

"I've seen sworn affidavits, I've seen sworn video statements," he said Monday in a Newsmax TV interview with Howie Carr. "I think that Rudy and Sidney have done a magnificent job in a short period of time of piecing together a solid legal case on what was intended to be a...
