Georgia Governor Changes Tune After Trump Lawyers Present Troubling Video of Alleged Fraud
[Townhall] Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp roused the ire of President Trump in recent days for not doing more in response to reports of election fraud in his state. But that may be changing now that Gov. Kemp is calling for a signature audit after CCTV footage was presented on Thursday showing election workers purportedly unloading suitcases of hidden ballots.

Katie wrote earlier about the video presented by the Trump campaign's lawyers during an emergency hearing in Georgia on Thursday. The video allegedly shows election workers in Fulton County wheeling in suitcases full of ballots after an election worker told poll watchers and others to go home for the night. The ballots were allegedly then counted for two hours without witness supervision.

#1  Like a Quickly Growing Number of voters here in Ga., I also see Gov. Kemp working overtime to reduce his already narrow possible win margin this coming re-election.

He should quickly distance himself from any perceived sidings of DC/Deep-State anti-USA types and focus only his GA. Voters. IF! he wants a second term.

Otherwise his name could still end up having that "*" beside it. With a notation:
"* Played a complacent role in the officially documented and internationally organized and funded efforts to corrupt the US Election System. Which resulted in violating the Civil Voting Rights of Millions of US Citizens."

#2  My understanding is that there were "ballot losses" or ballot disappearances down in traditionally republican Fayette County, GA. (south of Atlanta) Evidently the dems have been unable to turn Fayette County totally blue.

#3  A lot of losses in a lot of 'swing' states, Besoeker.

A few ('margin of error') here, a few ('margin of error') there, and it all adds up.

Lose a few dozen of them in each of the comfortable R counties and no one would be the wiser. It would affect the state's totals, however.

Mike Lee to Seek Senate Approval of S.386 Outsourcing Bill by ‘Unanimous Consent'
[Breitbart] Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is expected to seek Senate passage of his S.386 job-outsourcing bill Wednesday evening.

If no Republican or Democrat objects to Lee’s actions, his bill will pass the Senate by so-called "Unanimous Consent," (UC), setting the stage for a joint House-Senate conference to draft a final bill.

Lee’s aggressive effort to pass the bill by UC is a threat to the GOP Senators and their slim majority, an immigration activist told Breitbart News. "They have to give Georgia Republicans a reason to vote [in January] — and UC for this bill ain’t that," the activist said.

Lee is trying to pass the bill after Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) dropped his opposition to the legislation.

Activists hope that Georgia Senators Kelly Loeffler and Sen. David Perdue will announce opposition to the bill — although Lee’s surprise move caught them while they are campaigning in Georgia. In August, Loeffler praised President Donald Trump for adopting reforms of the H-1B program.

Trump teases 2024 presidential run at White House Christmas party
[IsraelTimes] ‘We’re trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I’ll see you in four years,’ US president says, while repeating baseless fraud allegations.
One way or another he is going to be a great big fly in their ointment for the next four years.

‘Mercenary’ donor exploited US politics to help Erdogan, other foreign officials
[IsraelTimes] Federal officials say Imaad Zuberi, who was close with top Democrats and Republicans, repeatedly lied and broke campaign financing laws to serve his own — and others’ — interests.

As an elite US political fundraiser, Imaad Zuberi had the ear of top Democrats and Republicans alike — a reach that included private meetings with then-Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden

Sidney Powell Files Suit in Wisconsin to Block State From Certifying Results
[THEEPOCHTIMES] Attorney Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit on Tuesday alleging an "egregious range of conduct" in Wisconsin at the direction of Wisconsin state election officials.

Powell is asking the court to block Gov. Tony Evers from transferring currently certified election results in Wisconsin to the Electoral College, and have Evers and the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) reverse the certification, "pending a full investigation and court hearing." Powell is also asking the court to order an independent audit of the election "to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election."

The suit (pdf) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against the WEC and Evers. It alleges an "egregious range of conduct" in Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee, along with Dane County, La Crosse County, Waukesha County, St. Croix County, Washington County, Bayfield County, Ozaukee County, as well as other counties throughout the Third District and throughout Wisconsin that employ election software and hardware from Dominion Voting Systems.

The suit alleges "massive election fraud" that violates the Wisconsin Election Code and the U.S. Constitution. It alleges a "scheme and artifice to defraud" in Wisconsin that was done "for the purpose of illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to manufacture an election of Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
as President of the United States, and also of various down-ballot democrat candidates in the 2020 election cycle."

"The fraud was executed by many means, but the most fundamentally troubling, insidious, and egregious ploy was the systemic adaptation of old-fashioned ’ballot-stuffing.’ It has now been amplified and rendered virtually invisible by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that very purpose," the complaint states.

Georgia Video Footage Allegedly Shows Poll Workers Staying Behind, Producing 'Suitcases of Ballots'
[THEEPOCHTIMES] President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
’s legal team on Dec. 3 presented surveillance footage at a Georgia state legislature hearing that appears to show ballot-counting workers telling poll observers late at night on Election Day to leave before continuing to count and pulling out what appears to be suitcases filled with ballots.In the hearing on Dec. 3, Jacki Pick, a lawyer who is volunteering with the campaign’s legal case, said the team received video footage from State Farm Arena’s vote-tabulation center in Fulton County, Georgia. The team said that GOP poll watchers weren’t allowed to watch the counting process in the poll center.

According to Pick, an unusual occurrence took place later in the evening at around 10 p.m. local time. A woman—described as a blonde woman with braids—told workers to stop counting and notified everyone to go home.

Describing the video footage, Pick said, "Everyone clears out, including the Republican observers and the press, but four people stay behind and continue counting and tabulating well into the night." The four counted unobserved until about 1 a.m.

Pick said that video footage shows Fulton County election workers waiting at their scanning areas until GOP poll watchers and news hounds left the room before they started "scanning ballots," ostensibly without any observation. Pick noted that this contravenes state and county law.

#1  Let's see. China was losing the economic war with Trump and maybe facing Civil War.
The Democrats lost the impeachment
Then:
In October China bought %75 of the questionable voting machine company. So this was just before the election and after the virus they unleashed on the world and the Antifa/BLM they funded through proxies in the USA. Even the purchase was sort of proxy. They own %75 of a UBS Asian arm that is still based in Switzerland. That's the "proxy" that bought the voting machine company. The original CEO, a Canadian national fled his US court summons and was last seen, briefly, in Singapore before vanishing.
The purchase just appeared in the published SEC filings. It was not available, even to Trump, before the election.
Well played war by China.
China as the source nation of Sun Tzu obviously follows his thoughts.

'Don't back down': Tulsi Gabbard tells Trump he has her full support in terminating Section 230
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President Trump has Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s full support in terminating Section 230."@realDonaldTrump I fully support you on this. Please don’t back down. The freedom and future of our country is at stake," Gabbard tweeted Thursday.

The tweet came in response to Trump's writing, "Section 230, which is a liability shielding gift from the U.S. to ’Big Tech’ (the only companies in America that have it - corporate welfare!), is a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity. Our Country can never be safe & secure if we allow it to stand."

"Therefore, if the very dangerous & unfair Section 230 is not completely terminated as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), I will be forced to unequivocally VETO the Bill when sent to the very beautiful Resolute desk. Take back America NOW. Thank you!" he continued.

Trump and his allies have railed against Big Tech censorship, saying platforms such as Twitter and Facebook censor conservative voices and views. Since the election, Trump’s criticisms of technology firms have increased as Twitter and Facebook repeatedly flag his posts concerning election fraud.

#1  I concur with this libertarian's take on the issue.

Total abolition of 230 will destroy nascent free-speech alt-tech competitors like Bitchute/Parler/Gab while the big platforms have the resources to openly exert editorial control.

It would be better to strip those who exert de facto editorial control of all 230 protections while maintaining 230 for platforms that only offer communications infrastructure.

Voting Machine USB Drives Had Totals Altered Overnight, Witness in Nevada Election Contest Alleges
[THEEPOCHTIMES] A witness brought forward by the Trump campaign in its election contest in Nevada alleged that the memory disks used to store vote totals from election machines during the early vote period had the vote tallies inexplicably changed overnight, according to a presentation at an evidentiary hearing in Carson City on Dec. 3.According to Jesse Binnall, who presented the evidence on behalf of the Trump campaign, the witness, whose name is shielded by a protective order, said that the vote tallies were collected from the machine at the end of every voting day and stored on Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives overnight.

"What they would do is they would log these disks in and out. Good practice. And the disks had a serial number on them. And numerous times that disk would be logged out with one vote total on it and logged back in the next morning during the early vote period with a different number on it. Sometimes more, sometimes less," Binnall said.

"What that means is that literally in the dead of night, votes were appearing, and books are disappearing on these machines."

Binnall said that the USB drives were not encrypted and the voting machines were not password protected. "And they were hooked up with laptops, then where the laptops themselves could have been compromised," he added.

The allegation about the vote total alterations was one of several Binnall presented during an evidentiary hearing, the first of its kind for the Trump legal team’s six-state post-election effort.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Center-Left rifts mar effort to unseat Netanyahu
Lots of sausage-making and poll statistics, at the end of which we must conclude that Bibi Netanyahu and Likud will be the winners for the fourth time ... assuming the Knesset actually votes to go ahead with the wasteful exercise. But whatever happens, the Left will be even farther out of power than ever.
[Jpost] "There is no room in the election for imaginary parties."

A Panels Research poll taken on Wednesday and Thursday for The Jerusalem Post and Maariv found that if elections would be held now, Netanyahu's Likud would easily win the most seats, due in part to the split among his competition.
Day one of the 2021 election on Thursday featured infighting in the Center-Left camp that could make it even more difficult than expected to defeat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu whenever Israelis end up going to the polls.

The day began with opposition leader Yair Lapid calling upon his former partner in Blue and White, Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz, to run together under his leadership.

Unlike bread, where half an imaginary loaf is totally better than no loaf at all.

Lots of inside baseball, but it sounds like Netanyahu's opponents hate each other even more than than they hate him. Gosh, that sounds familiar!

Video Montage of Biden Picks Mocking Him
[Washington Examiner] Several of President-elect Joe Biden's picks for administration roles have a history of criticizing their new boss.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson
Those of you who are Never-Tuckers, please restrain yourself and just stop reading.
aired a montage of clips featuring top hires in the Biden-Harris White House, beginning with a 2019 video clip of incoming White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who appeared to mock Biden's gaffes openly.

"Last year, interestingly, Jen Psaki wasn't on Team Biden at all," Carlson said before playing a clip of Biden answering a question about HIV rates among black Americans during a presidential town hall in October 2019. In the clip, Biden said, "Back 15 to 20 years, we talked about this, and San Francisco was all about gay bathhouses. It's all about round-the-clock sex. Come on, man!"
Some people may want to watch the video, for more laughs.
Carlson then played a clip of Psaki poking fun at Biden, who she said was appealing because "he says things your uncle says" while a female colleague hung her head to hide laughter.

"There have been a number of moments where even those of us who have affection for Vice President Biden think, 'What on the Earth is happening now?'" Psaki said.

Carlson recounted how Biden's alleged allies, including Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, threw Biden under the bus repeatedly while campaigning against him. Carlson played a clip of Harris saying she believed some women who alleged Biden assaulted them.

"I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story, and I encourage them to do it," Harris said at the time.
But that was before Hunter knocked up the stripper.
Finally, Carlson played a video of Harris's chief spokeswoman Symone Sanders, who in 2016 suggested that Democrats don't need "white people leading" the party.

"Joe Biden isn't just assembling a team of rivals, he's assembling a team of people who will refuse to take the same elevator with him, so how is this going to work out exactly?" Carlson asked. "They hate him, but they're working for him?"
Is Soros assembling the base of The New Undercover Resistance?
