[HuffPOO] "I wouldn’t be surprised if they found thousands and thousands and thousands of votes" for him, he tells cheering guests.
Donald Trump hinted to cheering Mar-a-Lago guests that the disturbing Arizona ballot audit by a partisan private company could lead to his White House reinstatement.
"Let’s see what they find," Trump said in remarks captured on video at his Florida golf resort.
"Some very interesting things are happening in Arizona," he noted in the footage that appeared to be taken Wednesday during his farewell remarks before he headed to New Jersey for the summer. It was posted on TikTok by 45covfefe.
"Let’s see what they find. I wouldn’t be surprised if they found thousands and thousands and thousands of votes," Trump added.
"After that we’ll watch Pennsylvania, and you watch Georgia, then you’re going to watch Michigan and Wisconsin, and you’re watching New Hampshire. They found a lot of votes up in New Hampshire just now ... you saw that?" he added, though it was unclear what Trump was referring to.
"This was a rigged election, everybody knows it, and we’re going to be watching it very closely," he concluded.
There’s absolutely no evidence it was a rigged election.

If Arizona opens the door to Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin recounts, it is anyone's guess what might happen. SCOTUS was feckless and untrustworthy in trying to insure the honesty of the 2020 election.
#3
They won't change 2020 no matter what they find, but if they clean up the the vote this will motivate GOP into a wave like we've never seen at all levels.

There’s absolutely no evidence it was a rigged election.
My favorite version of this is: There is no evidence of widespread election fraud.
Which is true. The fraud was narrowly focused in a handful of critical swing states. You know, the ones where they stopped counting in the middle of the night...
#6
More disinformation. The statistical odds of one candidate winning the election while losing 19 out of 20 bellwether counties and losing Ohio by a landslide are about 1 in 5,000.
Just stop f---ing lying to us.
You pledged yourselves to getting rid of Trumpy Hitler by any means necessary, including nonstop lies, witch hunts, rigged absentee ballots, censorship, not one but two bogus impeachments, and violence and anarchy unleashed at will.

Simple 'Recounts' won't do it as they'll just re-count both the good, bad and 'additional' ballots.
Real audits of the election results (similar to AZ) might be another story.
That's why the Dems and Media (but I repeat myself) are so up in arms about the Arizona audit process.
As I tell my liberal acquaintances, do the full audit and prove Trump and over half of the American public wrong (or not). They stare blankly for a few moments before reverting to the "There’s absolutely no evidence it was a rigged election" meme after their systems re-boot.

The audit might not change the outcome of the 2020 election but it would certainly be gratifying if some of the perpetrators went to jail.

[Breitbart] The CIA released a recruitment video in March that’s just starting to receive some much-needed attention. The video proves the CIA not only kneels in fealty before the Cult of Woke, it also proves the CIA is hiring and actively looking to recruit the most immodest, narcissistic, grotesquely self-serving people in the world — Woke Millennials.
Watch this obscenely pompous piece of garbage, and while you do, see if you can catch the one word that is not used:

Wasn't at all certain I could have rated these foks any lower but again, I was wrong. This piece takes my opinion of them into the Marianas Trench of sickening disgust.

Gag me with a spoon. But, hey, if you want ambitious people who don't know any better than to do the bidding of people like John Brennan, the Third World is where to find them.

You mean they went back to only hiring Yale students? CIA as always been a self serving elitist organization. Nothing new here, they just found another venue for hiring narcissists like them...

Wow... she actually believes that she wasn't hired just to mark off a 'Diversity' box. They even gave her a diversity service award for being a person of color! Can you say "Participation Trophy"? I knew you could!
I'm impressed! (/sarc)

[The Hill] Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday expressed optimism about the United States' ability to stand up to China as it works to grow its influence and become the world's dominant power.
In a wide-ranging interview with "60 Minutes" that aired on Sunday, Blinken told CBS’s Norah O’Donnell that the U.S. does not have "the luxury of not dealing with China."
"There are real complexities to the relationship, whether it's the adversarial piece, whether it's the competitive piece, whether it's the cooperative piece," Blinken said.
Blinken said China is the "one country in the world that has the military, economic, diplomatic capacity to undermine or challenge" the rules-based international order, which is the written and unwritten code that determines how nations deal with each other.
He stressed that the U.S. is not trying to "contain China," but instead "uphold this ruled-based order."
"Anyone who poses a challenge to that order, we're going to stand up and-- and defend it," he added.
Blinken did say, however, when asked by O’Donnell, that he has never seen China as assertive or aggressive militarily as it is now.
He said the country is "acting more repressively at home and more aggressively abroad."
The secretary of state also said it is "profoundly against the interests" of both China and the U.S. to get to the point of military confrontation, or "even to head in that direction."

Blinken comment blamed for onslaught of noxious Henry Kissenger squirters. Tech oligarchs enraged as well. Search for new Foggy Bottom head likely to begin soon.

Not as long as the US and Europe each are gutting their industrial base and sending the ChiComs $400 billion/year each for the equivalent of cheap Commie plastic dog shit.
#6
Bullshit! You cannot "uphold a rule-based order" with communists. The only rule they respect comes from the barrel of a gun. The only "complexity" in the relationship is corruption. The only sensible way to deal with China is the same way Reagan did with the Soviet Union. If Blinken wasn't corrupt he'd be saying that and if Norah O'Donnell wasn't corrupt she'd call him on it.

Direct translation of the article
[Regnum] After the Japanese government and command became aware of the terms of surrender, set out in the Potsdam Declaration of the Allied Powers of July 26, 1945, intensive meetings were held in Tokyo at which an answer to the ultimatum was worked out. If politicians from the "party of peace" were ready to accept all the provisions of the declaration and declare surrender, the Japanese generals opposed this, trying to negotiate their agreement to end the war on their own terms.
At the same time, fearing retribution for crimes committed by the Japanese army monstrous war crimes, they were opposed to the 10th paragraph of the Potsdam Declaration, which read: "We do not intend that the Japanese shall be enslaved as a race or destroyed as a nation, but all war criminals, including those who committed atrocities against our captives must be severely punished. " The Japanese generals advocated that the war criminals "be punished by the Japanese themselves."

Always buried is the Sack of Manila. When war started in 1941, the American territory of the Philippines was already scheduled for independence. The Japanese occupied the place through 1945. The atrocity of Manila is ignored by the usual suspects who scream Hiroshima like waving a bloody flag. The Japanese just used bullet, bayonet and barbed wire to kill about as many. There is an old saying in warfare, those who give no quarter should expect none themselves.

Hidden Horrors(1996) by Yuki Tanaka; "This landmark book documents little-known wartime Japanese atrocities during World War II. Yuki Tanaka’s case studies, still remarkably original and significant, include cannibalism; the slaughter and starvation of prisoners of war; the rape, enforced prostitution, and murder of noncombatants; and biological warfare experiments."
Grisly and mind-boggling...
[Creators via Bongino] At least 74 million Americans voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. Everyone I know believes the number was actually much higher, but 74 million is the number the biased, "fake news" media counts as fact.
This is the base of the Republican Party. I know what these 74 million (and probably a few more million) voters believe in. How? Because I tested my beliefs at three major GOP events in the past month where I was the keynote speaker. And I got wild, enthusiastic standing ovations at all three.
What's amazing is that the GOP leadership in Washington, D.C., and the Republican National Committee have no clue what their most loyal, passionate voters believe in.
[IndiaToday] Bill Gates has been in the headlines for several reasons since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. The tech mogul was celebrated, mocked and even scathingly criticized for his stand on the production and distribution of a vaccine candidate for the novel disease. A new comment by Gates puts him in a bad light yet again, as the tech entrepreneur suggests not to share patented vaccines with other countries.
In an interview with Sky News, Bill Gates was asked if a change in intellectual property law be helpful in the current Covid crisis? The backing thought was to share the vaccine formula and production techniques with countries other than the US so as to enable localised production.
To the surprise (and shock) of many, Gates said no.
He provided a couple of reasons for his argument. One of these was the limited vaccine factories across the world. Another was the process of transferring the technology itself, which would not be very effective without the "grants" and "expertise" that the US has, as per Gates.
Both vague, uninspiring reasons and not true to the slightest of thought. But even if you start to consider them as legit challenges, it is what Gates said in the midst that ticked off the deafest of ears.
The fact that India is a vaccine manufacturing hub is known to the world. At the start of this year, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hailed the country's vaccine production capacity as "the best asset that the world has today" in the fight against Covid-19. The backbone of this production is, anyway, a technology transfer between SII and AstraZeneca and not an individual effort to come up with a magic solution. So how Gates can point this out as a challenge is anybody's guess.

Bill's a population control nut. Of course he doesn't want India to have the experimental gene therapy (I refuse to call it a vaccine). Where better to start other than China which we know he won't go after.

Aside from the usual 'Myeh... Indians are best off snake charming and rope climbing' conceit, I think I know what his problem is.
The modified FCRA [Foreign Contribution Regulation Act 2010] crippled subsidiaries of foundations like Gates' in India, when the government disallowed the unregulated use of money for running 'charities' and 'humanitarian' rackets. This was done seeing that the money was being brought in to empower only the narrow interest groups that were anti-India, islamist or communist leaning. From lawyers' retainers to bribes and gifts and grants buying influence for certain Leftist interests... the money was not for alleviation of poverty, education or preservation of life. It was only going into activities aiming at degrading sovereignty, encroaching on democratic rights, lobbying, influence etc.
The foundation still has its offices here and is distributing aid too but they cannot do it with the abandon they can afford in other countries. And while such people are allowed the media hype and a few nice venues to speak at, nobody entertains their overtures for being consultants in the business of India.
Until the administration here changes. The opposition are the sort who couldn't kiss enough foreign bungholes.

Like a Star Trek Next Gen episode.
One culture has the disease and the other has the cure but just doles out enough to keep themselves wealthy and the other needy. Of course Next Gen made it a drug problem because they weren't deep thinkers like the original series.

There is more to this than the cheesy over view: "In an interview with Sky News, Bill Gates was asked if a change in intellectual property law be helpful in the current Covid crisis? "
India, in their own self-interest, has been aggressively trying to acquire foreign intellectual property rights on the cheap. Understandably so as they are a rival to foreign Big Pharma™ in output and, yes, there are certainly many poor Indian people that would benefit from cheaper drugs. CoVid-19 drugs and vaccines are just another skirmish in a long war.
Is Bill Gates a Big Pharma™ shill or is he looking at his own computer IP to protect? Or do we embrace the power of 'And' ?
