Biden's influence-peddling is consistent with what I wrote in my book, 'Capitol Hills Criminal Underground'
[American Thinker] More than three years ago, MedLaw Publishing released my book, "Capitol Hills Criminal Underground" in which I, the book's author, describe a long-running "protection racket" being run by then-Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Attorney General Eric Holder and New York Senator, Chuck Schumer.

The three amigos effectively arranged to have all Wall Street criminal cases directed to the lefty-friendly Southern District of New York, and for the right "payments" the cases would be closed. Money would then go into PACs controlled by Schumer and distributed to all those involved. In return for those payments, there would be no investigations, no prosecutions and no regulatory action. As author, I tracked over $110,000,000 in payments to politicians.

The CIA tracked some of the money-laundering related to the theft by these Wall Street companies and was able to track back the payments to senior DOJ officials and senior politicians like Vice President Joe Biden.

I, and a senior CIA officer, offered this evidence to both FBI Director James Comey and DoJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. They both declined to respond. I filed criminal complaints with the FBI and was told by field agents that senior leadership at the DOJ would not allow anyone to work the criminal complaints.

I want to encourage all Americans to read my book, "Capitol Hill's Criminal Underground" and decide for themselves.

The older I get the more I realize, some things are simply beyond me. Donald Trump gave us a taste of what 'could be.' Win or lose, I wish him well. He deserves much better than he has received over the past four years, much, much better.

Armies of lawyers on standby if cloudy US election outcome heads to court
[IsraelTimes] Both sides say they are ready with thousands of attorneys to make sure ballots get counted, or excluded; 300 lawsuits already filed in dozens of states across country.

Signature matches. Late-arriving absentee votes. Drop boxes. Secrecy envelopes.

Democratic and Republican lawyers already have gone to court over these issues in the run-up to Tuesday’s election. But the legal fights could take on new urgency, not to mention added vitriol, if a narrow margin in a battleground state is the difference between another four years for US President Donald Trump

#7  Washington Examiner - Twitter censors Trump tweet claiming people are trying to 'steal' election

Twitter restricted the ability to view and share President Trump's tweet claiming that people are trying to "steal" the election.

The label, placed on a tweet posted at 12:49 a.m. EST on Wednesday, reads "some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process." The tech giant only allows users to quote tweet the president's comments, allowing them to make their own statements on Trump's comments or the social media company's label.

"We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed," the president tweeted.

I grew up in the Detroit area. In close races, there was *always* a box of ballots that were found in a church basement or miraculously produced from the trunk of a car. I assumed this was normal - at least until I was old enough to understand what was going on.

#12  How can Trump lose Michigan when John James is winning the Senate race?

NY Times says Detroit vote tally is reported as Biden 93 to Trump 7.

That's absurd. Not consistent with anything seen anywhere and certainly not with a stunning victory by the black Republican candidate down ticket.

It's not f'ing possible absent cheating.

Worried MSNBC Slimes Cubans as Dupes 'Susceptible' to 'Propaganda' on Socialism
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] As Florida turned sour for the Democrats and Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
on election night, worry crept in at MSNBC. civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
slimed Cuban voters as dupes who are susceptible to "propaganda." Nicolle Wallace fretted that the liberal network’s viewers might be heading to the "liquor cabinet."

At 8:55 PM ET, Al Sharpton smeared, "We don't have the same dynamics that we have in Florida where you have like in Miami-Dade. I think as Joy pointed out a large Cuban influence in terms of Cuban voters who look more to the propaganda that we're dealing with socialism and all that offset a large black turnout."

Pretty early in the night, at 8:07 PM ET, Wallace worried about viewer drinking over Florida: "You can feel the hopes and the dreams of our viewers falling down and you can hear liquor cabinets opening all across this great land." She also downplayed the state’s importance: "But Florida was not a state the Biden campaign was counting on. Florida was not a state essential to a Biden win."

#15  Agree that a massive shift in hispanics in FL + a huge shift in MI to a Republican African American senator would not also be accompanied by a decisive shift to Trump in by these groups in most or all of the battleground states.

This shift to Trump happened in the battleground states with Republican governors: Trump won by a mile in both Florida and Ohio.

The only plausible explanation for Trump not sweeping battleground states with high black and Hispanic populations -- PA AZ NC GA MI WI -- is fraud and chicanery by Democratic elected officials in those states' big urban centers.

#23  Looks like WI and MI vote tallies are now being updated with batches of votes that are as slanted as 100% for one candidate only. Guess which one.

If this is true, then the jig's up:
Biden got a 138,339 tranche of votes in Michigan without a single vote for Trump, in case you were wondering what is happening.

In Wisconsin another surge early this am of about 200,000 votes for Biden with next to zero for Trump.

How does that happen?

#24  How does President Trump go about proving it.

Time-stamp every online update of the election tallies for every state. These reflect batches of ballots in one or more counties.

If any of these batch updates at a particular point in time fails to adjust the tallies for BOTH candidates, then there is an error with the tally - it could be a software bug, but more likely this is evidence of vote harvesting.

The magnitude of this lopsided - actually one-sided -- bizarre batch of ballots suggests a systematic effort by that candidate's party to distort the results.

This will all come out in litigation eventually.

The latest plot twist comes from Arizona, which had reportedly counted 95%+ of its votes. NYT notes that "due to an error in an Edison Research data feed of results ... the actual estimate is that 86% of the vote has been counted."

Jeff Dufour @dcdufour 4h
Replying to @dcdufour
This gives some credence to the Trump camp's argument in a call with reporters that it expects to pull ahead in Arizona, because most of the outstanding vote is in Trump-friendly territory.

Trump takes Oklahoma, defending territory he won in 2016 race
[NYPOST] President Trump has swept through Oklahoma, winning the Sooner State, according to CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
The incumbent can add the state’s seven electoral votes to his war chest in the quest for the 270 votes needed to win four more years.

With the win over Democratic challenger Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
, Trump repeated the success he had in Oklahoma in 2016, when he beat out opponent Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
for the state.

Trump was widely projected to carry the state, according to polling.

Mitch McConnell holds onto Senate seat from Kentucky
[NYPOST] Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell won a seventh term on Tuesday, turning back a challenge from Democrat Amy McGrath, according to a projection announced by Fox News.McConnell, a six-term Republican, has been the Senate majority leader since the GOP took control of the upper chamber of Congress in 2015.

His victory came just weeks after he shepherded President Trump’s nomination of appeals court Judge Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and strengthen the high court’s conservative majority, 6-3.

On his official government website, McConnell touts his reputation as "the most conservative leader of either party in the history of the Senate."

He also takes pride in calling himself the "Grim Reaper" for his ability to kill liberal legislation put forward by House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
(D-Calif.).

During the campaign, McConnell said his powerful post allowed him to deliver federal funds and craft policies that benefit the Bluegrass State.

[BIZPACREVIEW] Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has mobilized the National Guard to reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
in preparation for potential unrest in the days following the 2020 general election.

Pritzker said he’s putting the military personnel "in state of readiness," as he claimed the election results for the state may not be available until "Wednesday, or Thursday, or even Friday," according to the Chicago Tribune.

The move to station the National Guard is reminiscent of an earlier decision by the city in September, which followed the controversial verdict to charge one of three Louisville, Kentucky, officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, the local outlet reported.
