What is going on in Arizona? After finally obtaining the right to audit the ballots in Maricopa County, those in power refuse to move forward and allow an audit by a legitimate forensic auditor. Their actions show their desire to hide invalid ballots rather than identify any issues with the 2020 election in Arizona. We reported on December 30th that concerned citizens in Maricopa County in Arizona got together to look into the election fraud in their state. They performed data analysis and found between 160,000 to 400,000 ‘Phantom’ Ballots and performed door to door canvasing and found up to...

Today the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell accused President Donald Trump. of provoking the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people,” McConnell said in a speech on the Senate floor. The U.S. House of Representatives last Wednesday impeached Trump for a second time.
