Link in the body fixed. Sometimes those links act up if the URL is set in quotation marks, even though that is the standard way to do it. Removing the quotes generally fixes the problem, so I did — and it did. :-)
Long, as Al Ahram op-eds generally are. Bottom line, while they don’t miss that weaselly, Iran-loving Obama, at least he understood the proper order of doing things with regard to Israel, unlike President Trump, who is Doing It Wrong. But Egypt cannot possibly join a regional alliance containing Israel, so they will have to find a new way to be important in the region.
[AlAhram] With Gulf normalisation with Israel, a new strategic landscape is emerging in the region, one from which Egypt would do well to remain independent.
[drrichswier.com] The state of Ohio certified its election results Friday giving the win to President Donald Trump, who has still not conceded the election.
"I’m fully confident Ohio’s voice was heard in a fair and honest election," Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose said in an interview with News Center 7. According to Fox News, Trump won the popular vote in Ohio by 8.03 percentage points, with 3,154,834 votes compared to President-elect Joe Biden’s 2,679,165.
"When people invent conspiracies about elections that aren’t based in reality, that’s damaging and that’s irresponsible and shouldn’t happen," LaRose said, according to The Associated Press. "Because the fact is that elections are run better and more honestly than, really, I think they ever have been."
Trump has not yet conceded the election but has ordered the government to begin the transition process for Biden. He says that does not mean he has conceded the election.
"Remember, the GSA has been terrific, and Emily Murphy has done a great job, but the GSA does not determine who the next President of the United States will be," Trump said in a Tuesday tweet.
So far there are only a few Republican senators who have called Biden the president-elect, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse, and Maine Sen. Susan Collins.
[Washington Examiner] DORAL, Florida — The political banter that once took place in line for a pork and cheese-filled arepa at El Arepazo restaurant in the heart of South Florida’s Venezuelan community has died down since Nov. 3. But the fear that a socialist sympathizer will enter the White House lingers strong.
"Trump used the idea that the United States would turn into a Venezuela," Venezuelan American Jorge Luis Gonzalez, 58, told the Washington Examiner in a Spanish-language interview, surrounded by television screens showing unrest and soccer in his home country.
"It’s politics," he added, of the socialist label that stuck to Biden in South Florida and influenced thousands of votes in Miami-Dade County, helping deliver President Trump a solid win in Florida this year.
Gonzalez said he voted for Trump for different reasons.
"Many of us voted for Trump for all the effort he made to change things in Venezuela," he said, noting policies such as recognizing National Assembly President Juan Guaidó as Venezuela’s leader, increasing sanctions, and ramping up political pressure.
His vote was also based on the pre-COVID economy.
"The economy was good. We were paying less taxes. The only big problem that Trump had was his language, the way he spoke," he said. "If he was mute, he would have won the election."
Behind the food counter, where Venezuelan men cook sweet cornbread cachapas over a griddle, and Venezuelan women take orders and serve hot plates of plantains and rice, customer conversations in the days leading up to the election often crossed the plexiglass divider.
"They were saying, ’Who are you going to vote for? Who do you support?’" said one 19-year-old server, a Venezuelan political asylum seeker who asked the Washington Examiner not to use her name for fear of political persecution in her home country.
"Many people had the idea that a vote for Joe Biden is a vote for socialism," she said, having suffered, until two years ago, the trappings of a bankrupt petro-state.
[Breitbart] A founding member of the Black Lives Matter Global Network accused former Vice President Joe Biden of capitalizing "on our efforts to defund the police." The organizer of the group’s BLM Los Angeles chapter said Biden also tried to condemn the effort at the same time.
Former Vice President Biden "capitalized on our efforts to defund the police, and then tried to condemn the words at the same time," BLM Los Angeles chapter lead organizer Dr. Melina Abdullah
...the 3rd gen Communist was born Melina Rachel Reimann. Her paternal grandfather was one of the German-Jewish Marxists who fought against the Nazis until he fled to London in 1934, and her father was a Trotskyite union organizer who married a Black woman. Melina acquired the name Abdullah as a souvenir from a temporary marriage to filmmaker production assistant Phaylen Abdullah, and her PhD from USC in PoliSci ...
said during a Tuesday morning protest, according to the Daily Wire.
Abdullah’s comments came at the beginning of a series of protests this week outside the home of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Carcetti. The protests have a stated goal of depriving the city’s mayor an appointed position in a potential Biden-Harris administration.
Hizzoner no doubt thoroughly deserves any and all protests, so that’s all right.
Biden repeatedly claimed to be against the Defund the Police movement. "I not only don’t want to defund the police, I’m the one calling for $300 billion — million more for local police, for community policing," Biden told a news station in September, Breitbart News’ Kyle Olson reported.
"We want to be very clear that as we happily usher out the Trump regime, we will not accept liberal white supremacy in the White House in the form of Joe Biden," Abdullah said. ... "It doesn’t matter to me that Kamala Harris is your vice president if you’re using her black woman body to usher in oppressive systems and oppressive people like Eric Garcetti."
In March, Abdullah reminded people of Biden’s history of having a "lock them up approach."

I am generally against defunding the police but if they are going to ignore criminal behavior at multiple levels (rioting, looting, assaults, corruption, fraud....) then what are we paying them for? To fine small business owners and harass law biding citizens and write tickets for traffic violations?
[Federalist] The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected the Trump campaign's attempt to block Pennsylvania’s certification of a Joe Biden victory. The former vice president has an 81,000-vote lead in the state.
"Charges of unfairness are serious," Judge Stephanos Bibas, whom President Trump himself appointed, wrote in his 21-page opinion on Friday. "But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here...Nor does the campaign deserve an injunction to undo Pennsylvania's certification of its votes. The campaign's claims have no merit."
"Tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too," the judges write. "That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised."

Cancelling a bogus vote disenfranchises nobody.
Allowing each fraud disenfranchises all legitimate Pennsylvania voters, canceling each vote for Trump and lying to those who voted Biden on their own accord.
[American Thinker] In her Georgia complaint, Sidney Powell included the declaration of Navid Keshavarz-Nia, an expert witness who stated under oath that there was massive computer fraud in the 2020 election, all of it intended to secure a victory for Joe Biden. Dr. Kershavarz-Nia's name may not mean a lot to you, but it's one of the weightiest names in the world when it comes to sniffing out cyber-security problems.
We know how important Dr. Kershavarz-Nia is because, just two and a half months ago, the New York Times ran one of its Sunday long-form articles about a massive, multi-million-dollar fraud that a talented grifter ran against the American intelligence and military communities. Dr. Kershavarz-Nia is one of the few people who comes off looking good:
Navid Keshavarz-Nia, those who worked with him said, "was always the smartest person in the room." In doing cybersecurity and technical counterintelligence work for the C.I.A., N.S.A. and F.B.I., he had spent decades connecting top-secret dots. After several months of working with Mr. Courtney, he began connecting those dots too. He did not like where they led.
Not only does Dr. Kershavarz-Nia have an innate intelligence, but he's also got extraordinary academic and practical skills in cyber-fraud detection and analysis. The reason we know about his qualifications is that it takes seven paragraphs for him to list them in the declaration he signed to support the Georgia complaint.
His qualifications include a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in various areas of electrical and computer engineering. In addition, "I have advanced trained from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), DHS office of Intelligence & Analysis (I&A) and Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT)."
Professionally, Dr. Kershavarz-Nia has spent his career as a cyber-security engineer. "My experience," he attests," spans 35 years performing technical assessment, mathematical modeling, cyber-attack pattern analysis, and security intelligence[.]" I will not belabor the point. Take it as given that Dr. Kershavarz-Nia may know more about cyber-security than anyone else in America.
So what does the brilliant Dr. Kershavarz-Nia have to say? This:
1. Hammer and Scorecard is real, not a hoax (as Democrats allege), and both are used to manipulate election outcomes.
2. Dominion, ES&S, Scytl, and Smartmatic are all vulnerable to fraud and vote manipulation — and the mainstream media reported on these vulnerabilities in the past.

I pray he has courage, bodyguards, and good security for himself and his family. The Deep State is playing for keeps now because they know Trump will gut them if he retains office.

I haven't written to POLS in years, but here's list of the Keystone State Senators I just wrote asking them to stop the fraudulent certification. I got a few un-deliverables, but it's mostly accurate.

As an aside, I have just bren informed that someone is scrubbing Dr. Kershavarz-Nia’s presence from the internet, so anyone interested may want to download or print out key web pages.
