As early as August, the DOJ had been investigating the White House in an alleged bribery for pardon scheme.

...fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same.

President Trump has approved President-elect Joe Biden to receive classified presidential daily briefings, or PDBs, a White House official tells The Post. Trump approved the sharing of intelligence with Biden after authorizing the General Services Administration on Monday to ascertain that Biden is president-elect, beginning a formal transition.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Nevada Supreme Court made Joe Biden’s win in the state official on Tuesday, approving the state's final canvass of the Nov. 3 election. The unanimous action by the seven nonpartisan justices sends to Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak results that will deliver six electoral votes from the western U.S. battleground state to Biden. The court action drew extra scrutiny amid legal efforts by the state GOP and Trump campaign to prevent sending vote-by-mail ballots to all 1.82 million active registered voters and then to stop the counting of the 1.4 million votes that were cast.

President Donald Trump is sweating over his campaign lawyers’ dismal and often outlandish efforts to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected electoral victory. Trump is worried that his campaign’s legal team, which is being led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is comprised of “fools that are making him look bad,” NBC News reported Monday. That crew, which has unironically called itself an “elite strike force team,” to date has failed to win any legal victories that would invalidate votes for Biden, the former Democratic vice president, even as the legal eagles tout wildly broad claims of fraud for which they...

I now believe that Trump is carefully allowing enough time to allow the media and local officials to fully develop an alibi for voters. when crimes are investigated it is usually the lower level participants who get snared, mid-level actors cutting plea deals and higher level actors getting slaps on the wrist if anything at all. Many of the poll workers are definitely passionate supporters. But to believe that enough of them were there with the intent to commit fraud requires us to assume they were able to plan and coordinate enough to pull it off. I can not force...

Karl Rove, the architect of former President George W. Bush's gubernatorial and presidential campaigns, acknowledged Wednesday that the 2020 presidential election will not be overturned regardless of the flurry of lawsuits from President Donald Trump challenging the results.

NewsMax just reported a huge vote dump for Biden from DeKalb County. They've moved Georgia to likely Biden. They say the President now must win PA, MI, WS. Stacy Abrams said I'll deliver Georgia. Looks like she did.

With regard to COVID, we are awash in unreliable or even intentionally misleading empirical claims. A neurosurgeon from D.C. who understands statistics analyzes a popular claim that is being made on behalf of mask mandates. I encountered a Washington Post figure making its way through social media, suggesting that not wearing masks is conclusively the reason for COVID spread:

I have been looking for alternative sources to find a good video feed since I do not get much useful from youtube/google anymore. This one seems good. Here is a great skynews report/interview with the NY Post reporter. https://www.bitchute.com/video/cyWMT6h6GdzP/

I keep seeing how the polls are incredibly biased. I have no reason to question that statement but, in the words of the great President Reagan, we should always trust but verify. Does anyone have statistical analyses that support the existence of bis and just how far warped the polling currently is? Would love to see some so I can try to undistort the current polls

Those who are interested, let's talk about the games. We'll see if those who dislike/despise the NFL feel a childish compulsion to pester us - or not.

"Tyranny is that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry. One look at the aforementioned contradictions is all that it takes to know that those Democrat politicians have tyrannical tendencies. If they didn’t, then they wouldn’t act in that manner. Instead, they would live lives that show why they believe the right things. They would avoid non-eco-friendly means of transportation. Or avoid guns entirely. Or give away their entire income to the government. But they don’t do that, of course. Living what they preach would mean making lifestyle sacrifices and admitting that they are wrong. They...

He just doesn't have the 'IT' factor-a term reserved for NFL QB's. History suggests he could rest on Trumps laurels and win a 4 year term like Bush 41'. Unfortunately the pendulum swings both ways and if they come up with another smooth talker like B.J./Obama we're in trouble-it's boredom that sets in. Any likeness to 41' and we all pay the price. It's up to us to get it right.

On the second night of the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump resorted once again to the favorite trick in his bag: a televised surprise. An impromptu naturalization ceremony put on as part of the Tuesday night festivities was, as a political matter, an attempt to show a softer side of a president with one of the most anti-immigration records in recent memory. Senior Trump administration officials widely view the law as a joke, and have often traded quips over how consequence-free their infractions have been and how much Democrats harp on the violations, two ex-officials said. Some Trump lieutenants have...

Dinesh D'Souza questioned Kamala Harris' speech by noting that rather than being born disadvantaged in US society, that she was actually raised with privileges bestowed upon her by her professionally successful parents. Is Kamala Harris a mere pandering white-collar phony? https://twitter.com/KamalaKancel/with_replies

Late last month the CEOs of four of the most powerful tech companies in the world — Amazon, Facebook, Apple, and Alphabet, which owns Google — testified before the House Judiciary Committee, which has spent a year investigating their companies’ alleged anti-competitive and monopolistic practices. That’s quite a fall for Big Tech, which just a decade ago was viewed by Congress as an unalloyed social good. With every aspect of Big Tech’s behavior now under review, perhaps it’s also a good time to revisit its “patent troll” narrative. This is the notion, unlikely on the face of it, that somehow...

I live in Massachusetts but lately I have been seeing those lovely Jean Shaheen ads. It is making me actually consider moving to New Hampshire so I too can vote for Jean. She just seems like everybody's nicest next door neighbor or you child's favorite teacher. In all her ads she certainly sounds like she has all the answers and really cares about the people. What would you suggest? Is she really as smart and nice as she seems? Signed, Thinking about moving.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new book by former President George W. Bush will highlight an issue which now sets him apart from many of his fellow Republicans — immigration. Crown announced Thursday that Bush’s “Out Of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants” will be published March 2. The book includes 43 portraits by the 43rd president, four-color paintings of immigrants he has come to know over the years, along with biographical essays he wrote about each of them. Bush, who served as president from 2001-2009, has often praised the contributions of immigrants, a notable contrast to President Donald Trump’s...
