[American Greatness] A researcher at the Department of Justice on Tuesday released a 25-page report indicating a high probability of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. World-renown economist John Lott Ph.D., examined election results from Pennsylvania and Georgia, as well as potential election fraud in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
"This paper’s approach allows us to quantify how large a potential problem vote fraud and other abnormalities might be in the 2020 election," Dr. Lott wrote.
White House advisor Peter Navarro heralded Lott’s study results on Twitter:
[Aljazeera] Citing racism and a desire for belonging, Americans and Britons of African descent are moving from the West to the African continent. It’s part of a Pan-African campaign to encourage repatriation and investment in tourism in Africa, and it’s a trend that culminated in 2019 with Ghana’s Year of Return, which marked 400 years since the first enslaved people from Africa were brought to the Americas. We speak to two women about their decision to leave the US and the UK to move to Ghana and The Gambia for good.

I've worked with many Africans in the oilfield. They do not like American blacks. Not in the slightest. Many of the Africans in the oilfield that make it to the US are the really sharp ones and good at their jobs.

I had a pleasant experience employing a hard-working man from Cameroon. He was a truck driver that part-timed doing yard work and, what I was interested in, tree surgery. He immigrated because over Cameroon was corrupt and "He wasn't related to anybody so he couldn't get a job." He had been in the US previously on a church sponsored green card and found the US Embassy was appreciative of someone that followed the law.

Go. The more the better. Better for them and better for us. Not sure it will benefit the Africans but that's another matter

We get these stories periodically — the idea is very popular in certain circles, but it turns out that the numbers involved are generally in single digits. Because moving to a Third World country isn’t nearly as romantic as it appears from a distance.
[Babylon Bee] Across the country, there is general consensus that 2020 has been the "worst year ever." According to studies, 82% of Americans agree that 2020 has been a terrible year of unprecedented suffering and misery. Experts confirmed that 2020 was indeed the worst year, provided you have never lived in virtually any other time period in all of human history.
"We noticed that most of the respondents who called 2020 the worst year also enjoyed delicious food being delivered to them for 8 months while they sat on their couches with the air conditioning on and binge-watched shows the whole time," said one researcher.
"While we understand it hasn't been easy, we also found very few instances of Viking raids, Black Plague, famine, world war, using rotary telephones, needing to look things up in a physical dictionary, slavery, people being burned at the stake, walking miles to school, living in caves, sleeping on the ground, ice ages, Nazi holocausts, civil war, infant mortality, global floods, ethnic cleansing, using leaves as toilet paper, using leeches as medicine, using wooden mallets as an anesthetic, fighting wild saber-tooth tigers, cannibalism, occupation by the Persian Empire... what was I talking about again? Oh yeah-- most people in 2020 never experienced any of those things, so comparatively speaking it's been a pretty decent year!"
"Worst. Year. Ever." Tweeted one local man who has been making more money than most Zambians make in a lifetime -- all from the comfort of his computer.
"Can 2020 be over yet??" Tweeted a New York fashion executive whose preferred candidate just won the presidential election.
"I just can't anymore. Ugh!" exclaimed another after Uber got his dinner order wrong.
The only exception was one oddball who walked out of his front door and took a deep breath of the morning air. "Thank you, God, for this amazing air!" he said. The oddball has been detained for further scientific study to figure out what the heck is wrong with him.

Worst year ever? WWII years, Korean War years, 911, polio years. Probably an individual experience. if you had a dad or mom or spouse or child who died at any time, it was probably the worst year(s) ever. But then it's the Babylon Bee.
[Townhall] Was 2020 the worst year ever? The media keep saying that.
We did have the pandemic, a bitter election, unemployment, riots and a soaring national debt.
But wait, look at the good news, says historian Johan Norberg. His new book, "Open: The Story of Human Progress," points out how life keeps getting better, even if people just don't realize it.
2020 was "the best year in human history to face a pandemic," he says.
Had the pandemic happened in 2005, "You wouldn't have the technology to create mRNA vaccines."
"In 1990," he continues, "we wouldn't have a worldwide web. If we had had this pandemic in 1976, we wouldn't have been able to read the genome of the virus. And ... in 1950, we wouldn't have had a single ventilator."
These last 20 years, adds Norberg, have been especially good. "Mankind has attained more wealth than ever."
I push back: "There's more to life than wealth! And lot of this money went to the top 1%. Ordinary people think they're doing worse."
"If you look at specifics like global poverty, child mortality, chronic undernourishment and illiteracy," Norberg replies, "they all declined faster than ever."
Those things: global poverty, child mortality, undernourishment,and illiteracy are pretty good measures of quality of life.
"Literacy might be the most important skill," says Norberg. "It's the skill that makes it possible to acquire other skills. We've never seen literacy at these high levels ever before. (Even) in the most problematic countries around the world, it's better than it was in the richest countries 50, 60 years ago. That's most important for those who have the least."
Of course, there were bad trends in 2020. Murder rose in the United States. Social media algorithms divided us further. "Suicide is up," I tell Norberg.
"I can definitely see the problems," he replies, "but once upon a time, if you ended up in the wrong school or neighborhood, you had nowhere to go -- no other community available to you. Now there is, and that opens up a world of opportunity. Some awful things as well, but some beautiful things."
That meant that even during this pandemic, people found new ways to help others.
Volunteers used the internet to find better ways to donate their time. Young people brought food to the elderly.
Zoom and Slack taught us that not being in the office sometimes works as well, or better.
Businesses had new tools with which to adapt.
Restaurants moved to takeout and delivery, aided by apps like UberEats and Grubhub.
Such healthy adaptation rarely makes news, because news hounds seek out problems.
Many worry loudly about climate change. Some claim the environment keeps getting worse. A dismayed CBS correspondent mourned, "Biodiversity is reportedly declining faster than any time!"
Even if that were true, says Norberg, "We have never made this much progress against pollution. The six leading pollutants, the ones that used to pollute our lungs and forests and rivers, they've declined by some 70%!"
In January of this year, when President Trump announced the liquidation of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, "World War III" trended on Twitter. The Selective Service website crashed for fear there would be a draft.
"People think there's more war," I say to Norberg.
"But we've forgotten the wars that we had in the past! When I grew up in the 1980s, there were more wars, and battle death rates were four times higher."
Less war is one reason people keep living longer. After COVID-19, that trend will continue.
"We have this tendency, for good reasons, to focus on problems, because that's our way of solving problems," says Norberg. "But then there's the risk that we'll just despair and think it's hopeless and we give up. That's not the solution to our problems.
"Just cheer up and be happy?" I ask.
He answers, "Be a little bit grateful for what we have."

'Tis the best of all years to make war
On a foe with machine guns, by far!
Since we're likewise prepared,
There's no need to be scared,
So, three cheers, my lads! Hardy har har.
[Just the News] resident Trump bid farewell to a pandemic-filled 2020 and rang in the New Year with a tweet celebrating the roaring stock market and its impact on Americans' retirement funds.
"Finished off the year with the highest Stock Market in history," Trump tweeted shortly before the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. "Setting records with your 401k’s, just like I said you would. Congratulations to all."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 200 points on the final day of the year, to end at an all-time high of 30,606. The market was driven in part by the good news that first-time jobless benefit claims unexpectedly declined by 19,000 to 787,000 last week.
After the market bottomed out in March during the height of the first pandemic wave, the S&P 500 rose 68 percent to shatter countless records as investors reacted to the president's handling of the economy and the early congressional stimulus packages that kept unemployment lower than feared and many businesses propped.
[Breitbart] The coronavirus pandemic took nearly two million lives worldwide and caused unprecedented economic devastation this year, but 2020 had at least three big winners who came out stronger in spite of — or perhaps because of — the pandemic: the world’s billionaires, Silicon Valley’s tech lords, and communist China, where the virus originated.
COMMUNIST CHINA
China’s communist regime is sounding increasingly triumphalist in the wake of the economic destruction wreaked by the pandemic that originated in Wuhan and could have been prevented by Beijing. China’s communist dictator Xi Jinping boasted in his New Year’s Eve address that China is "the first major economy worldwide to achieve positive growth" in 2020, while the rest of the world’s economy shrank.
"China’s economy is projected to grow by 2% in 2020 and by another 8.4% in 2021. By the end of next year, its economy is expected to be 10.6% larger than it was at the beginning of this year," Axios reports. "By contrast, after shrinking by 3.6% this year and growing by a projected 4% next year, the U.S. economy is going to end 2021 just 0.25% larger than it was at the beginning of 2020."
Much of this is due to China’s dominance of global manufacturing; and with the whole world still reeling from the pandemic, China is moving to solidify its monopoly on the world’s supply chains through expanded free trade agreements, including a new agreement with the European Union. The pandemic’s economic damage has also allowed China to buy influence in the Third World through its international infrastructure program known as the Belt and Road Initiative, which the U.S. government has criticized as imperialist colonization via a predatory debt scheme.

China - which has a very genetically uniform, when compared to other countries, population - really, really, shouldn't have opened the hell gates of microbiological warfare.
[The Burning Platform] With all the talk about dark winters from Biden, Harris, Fauci, tyrannical Democrat governors, pandemic hysteria medical "experts", and the corporate media paid to propagate the vital narrative, my mind was naturally drawn to the words of J.R.R. Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings trilogy. It is a story of good versus evil, with a foreboding mood of darkness and doom.
To those of us of a conspiratorial nature, according to those who conspired to overthrow a duly elected president for four years and are currently conspiring to steal the presidency through blatant election rigging and mail-in ballot fraud, we believe the darkness engulfing our nation has been initiated by the billionaire globalist evildoers marshaling dark forces in their Mordor on the Potomac.
The globalist elites, along with the Deep State and social media tyrants of Silicon Valley are rich, influential, and arrogant. They have stepped out from the shadows and are now blatantly flaunting their capture of our government, electoral systems, financial systems, mainstream media, social media, and medical complex.
They have gauged the intellectual, ethical, and mathematical aptitude of the masses and found them wanting. They have no fear of significant pushback as they commit treason by stealing a presidential election, trashing the Constitution, destroying small business owners, impoverishing what remains of the middle class, and imposing totalitarian restrictions upon a compliant obedient populace.

Yes. Anytime you hear some GOPer talking about the deficit or "the good of the country," try to tamp down your gag reflex.

From the party of "deficits don't matter". Well, if/when the gum'ment mandates electronic currency, then they definitely won't matter. Who needs 30-year bonds...or any bonds?

[Pipeline] If I’m calculating this correctly, we’re about to enter our forty-second week of "Two Weeks to Stop the Spread." I’m just a cop with no claim to medical expertise, but if I may offer a layman’s opinion, weeks three through forty-one don’t seem to have been any more effective than the first two. What would lead anyone to believe the next two, three, or forty-one will be?
And we’re still being inundated with grim news about how the worst is yet to come. Every day at the top of the Los Angeles Times website one finds a collection of stories presented with the apparent intent of arousing dread in the reader.
Newt Gingrich: Democrats will ’brainwash the entire next generation if they can get away with it’
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the Democratic Party is weaponizing the U.S. education system to convert young hearts and minds to its ideology.
The Georgia Republican delivered the scathing assessment of his political opponents in an interview with the Guardian on Tuesday
"What you have, I think, is a Democratic Party driven by a cultural belief system that they’re now trying to drive through the school system so they can brainwash the entire next generation if they can get away with it," he said...
"You look at these Democratic governors who are petty dictators, and you look at the challenges facing us — whether it’s a collapsing education system, a collapsing infrastructure, [or] competing with China — and you know that the Democrats, as the party of government employee unions and liberalism, aren’t going to be able to deal with any of this," he added.
Here’s more from The Guardian piece by David Smith:
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
