( Brock Simmons ) In what appears to be a coordinated disinformation campaign ( to quote the New York Times in their articles about Project Veritas ) , several news outlets associated with the Nexstar Broadcasting conglomerate are using a picture of a Portland rioter being arrested by police to falsely frame the elections integrity protests as being violent and out of control .
The picture is from an entirely separate event and has absolutely nothing to do with the pro-Trump protests .

A Life In The Machine
Ozzie’s story is an illustrative one, and an example of how things work in Philadelphia politics—a “machine,” one insider told The Federalist, that has a lot more in common with “a living organism” that doesn’t need instructions “to know how to breathe.
Michael “Ozzie” Myers was born in 1943 in Philadelphia. When he was 19, he was arrested for burglary but later acquitted (“a misunderstanding,” he’d say). When he was 27, his illegally owned handgun was used by his cousin to kill a non-union construction worker in what one newspaper characterized as “a union quarrel.” His cousin was fine, winning office as an election judge while still in prison, assuming his new office after release, and pleading the Fifth to stealing ballots shortly after taking the job.
Ozzie quickly made a name for himself. In 1975, by then 32 and a member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly, he sued to cut off federal funds to the local federal prosecutor. The next month, he was the lone vote against expelling a colleague on his way to prison. He was rewarded for being such a reliable guy, and the following year the 16 ward leaders of District One nominated him to replace the Democratic congressman who had died in office (with the mayor easing early concerns Myers wasn’t even Italian). “I’m not going to tell you what I’m going to do until I get there,” Ozzie told the Democrats voting to send him to Washington.
When he did get to Washington, he partied. In 1979, when a Northern Virginia motel security guard told them they had to quiet down, Ozzie replied, “I’m a congressman, we don’t have to be quiet,” before beating the man with his friends. When the 19-year-old girl who worked the register tried to help the guard, they attacked her as well. When the police arrived, one of Ozzie’s buddies was naked from the waist down, screaming “beat me!” The naked man was arrested, and a warrant issued for the congressman’s arrest. During their sentencing, the judge warned the two to “keep their records clean.”
Ozzie did not follow the judge’s advice, and the following year, 1980, he explained to undercover FBI agents delivering him a $50,000 bribe that “money talks in this business, and bullshit walks.” When video emerged he was expelled from Congress — the first congressman expelled since the Civil War—and went to prison. When Ozzie got out, he appears to have gone right back to work, and in July 2020 was charged with bribing a Philadelphia elections judge to stuff ballots for his candidates.
Three of those candidates, who have not been identified, now sit on the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. Judges on this court have already denied the Trump campaign’s ballot-watchers access, providing crucial unsupervised time to ward vote counters before a successful appeal at a higher court.
Ozzie is a particularly colorful character, but not an unusual one, according to interviews The Federalist conducted with multiple current and former members of Philadelphia’s Democratic Party, who agreed to talk to us on condition of anonymity.

Benford’s law or the first-digit law is used to check if a set of numbers are naturally occurring or manually fabricated. It has been applied to detect the voting frauds in the Iranian 2009 election and various other applications including forensic investigations.
This is what described by Wikipedia:
“Benford’s law, or the first-digit law, is an observation about the frequency distribution of leading digits in many real-life sets of numerical data. The law states that in many naturally occurring collections of numbers, the leading digit is likely to be small. For example, in sets that obey the law, the number 1 appears as the leading significant digit about 30% of the time, while 9 appears as the leading significant digit less than 5% of the time. If the digits were distributed uniformly, they would each occur about 11.1% of the time. Benford’s law also makes predictions about the distribution of second digits, third digits, digit combinations, and so on.”
One of the examples is the population of the world, which are naturally occurring numbers.
Distribution of first-digit (in %) of population numbers in 237 countries in 2010.

100,000 Provisional Ballots May Swing Pennsylvania Election Back to Trump Despite MASSIVE FRAUD by the Left

( Jim Hoft ) Pennsylvania still has 100,000 provisional ballots to count.The ballots are going three to one to President Trump .
Related BREAKING : Several Major Outlets Call Race For Biden After Projecting Pennsylvania President Trump could win Pennsylvania outright — AGAIN — despite the criminal activity of the Democrat party .
Even when Trump wins in the courts due to the tricks of the left he may already be declared winner .

Body For Awareness Project : Your clothes , your body , your truth .
Support alt-media and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I learned last evening that there are roughly 100,000 provisional ballots still out and uncounted in Pennsylvania .
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania defines a provisional ballot this way : Sometimes county elections officials need more time to determine a voter ’ s eligibility to vote .
Election officials may ask that voter to vote a provisional ballot .
A provisional ballot records your vote while the county board of elections determines whether it can be counted .
A provisional ballot might include , for instance , a person registered to vote at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different precinct and thus had had to fill out a provisional ballot .
That ’ s just one of a variety of examples .
( Click the website for more criteria and details . )
Pennsylvania election officials have just now ( this Saturday morning ) started to count these ballots .
The process works like this : There are groups/boards of three individuals who examine each ballot .
Each candidate on the ballot is allowed a representative at this “ hearing.
” The board looks at each ballot , reads the ballot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the reason that the person voted provisional .
At that point , a candidate ’ s representative can object whether the ballot should or should not be counted .
That ballot is set aside and is evaluated further .

(Jim Hoft) Pennsylvania still has 100,000 provisional ballots to count.The ballots are going three to one to President Trump.

President Trump could win Pennsylvania outright — AGAIN — despite the criminal activity of the Democrat party.
Even when Trump wins in the courts due to the tricks of the left he may already be declared winner. Always remember — the mainstream media is crap!
Via The Spectator:
I learned last evening that there are roughly 100,000 provisional ballots still out and uncounted in Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania defines a provisional ballot this way: Sometimes county elections officials need more time to determine a voter’s eligibility to vote. Election officials may ask that voter to vote a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot records your vote while the county board of elections determines whether it can be counted. A provisional ballot might include, for instance, a person registered to vote at one precinct but who voted at a different precinct and thus had had to fill out a provisional ballot. That’s just one of a variety of examples. (Click the website for more criteria and details.) Pennsylvania election officials have just now (this Saturday morning) started to count these ballots. The process works like this: There are groups/boards of three individuals who examine each ballot. Each candidate on the ballot is allowed a representative at this “hearing.” The board looks at each ballot, reads the ballot number aloud, and examines the precinct and the reason that the person voted provisional. At that point, a candidate’s representative can object whether the ballot should or should not be counted. That ballot is set aside and is evaluated further.

A ballot may be spoiled if it is damaged and unable to go through a scanning machine, if it is blank or if more choices are marked than permitted (overvoting).
Spoiled ballots are not included in the vote count.
Poll workers in Bucks County were throwing spoiled ballots in the garbage rather than preserving them for three years.
“The poll worker should not have thrown it in the garbage,” PA Board of Elections Director Tom Freitag confirmed.
“Whoever was the judge of elections, didn’t do it correctly,” he said.

My 1940s born Dad raised me to be patriotic and proud, to love the war bird airplanes of his era as much as he does, and to respect our flag and our country as a sacred thing. I grew up thinking that being an American was the greatest gift a person could have. I grew up thinking that our country was as strong, and honest and true as my Dad. I grew up thinking I was free.

We will be working until we die, because the Social Security we’ve been forced to pay into has also been robbed from under us.

Outside of shoes, socks and underwear, almost everything my family wears was bought used. We’ve been on one vacation in 12 years.
We don’t have cell phones, or cable, or any sort of streaming services, just a landline and internet. We hardly ever eat out. Our house is 1400 square feet, no air conditioning.

We now have short term insurance that isn’t really insurance at all, and I live in fear of one of us getting injured or sick with anything I can’t fix from the medicine cabinet.

My family has taken an enormous financial hit as I stay home to home school our child. At least she’ll be able to do old-fashioned math well enough to see how much they are screwing her. A silver lining to every cloud, I guess.
I’ve sat by and held my tongue as I was called deplorable and a bitter clinger and told me that I didn’t build that. I’ve been called a racist and a xenophobe and a chump and even an “ugly folk.” I’ve been told that I have privilege, and that I have an inherent bias because of my skin color, and that my beloved husband and father are part of horrible patriarchy. Not one goddamn bit of that is true, but if I dare say anything about it, it will be used as evidence of my racism and white fragility.
Raised to be a Republican, I held my nose and voted for Bush, the Texas-talking blue blood from Connecticut who lied us into 2 wars and gave us the unpatriotic Patriot Act. I voted for McCain, the sociopathic neocon songbird “hero” that torpedoed the attempt to kill Obamacare that’s killing my family financially. I held it again and voted for Romney, the vulture capitalist skunk that masquerades as a Republican while slithering over to the Democrat camp as often as they’ll tolerate his oily, loathsome presence.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s attorney announced Saturday the lawsuit during a press conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with several Republican poll watchers who were prevented from entering the poll sites or the rights of poll-watching were blocked.
Biden Takes the Lead in Pennsylvania As Ballot Counting Continues
A federal lawsuit will be filed on Monday in Pennsylvania and more expected in other states.
“We’re going to file a federal lawsuit that will cover here [Philadelphia] and Pittsburgh, and we will have as many witnesses as the court needs. Right now, it could be as many as 90 witnesses,” Giuliani said.
Several witnesses joined Giuliani during the press conference, all are local Philadelphia residents.
Lisette Tarragano, one of the witnesses, said she was never allowed to enter the polling site along with other five to six Republican poll watchers. “I was never brought in. Actually, I never got past the first identification stage, they kept saying that mine as well as five or six other Republicans, their names hadn’t been entered into the system,” she said.
Two other poll watchers, Darrell Brooks and Matt Silver said they were kept 15 to 20 feet away from the ballots.
Silver also alleged that some unusual ballot boxes were witnessed inside the polling site.
“There seem to be at least certain boxes seem to be in the same unusual pen, and seem to have very similar handwriting. Some boxes were normal, some boxes were like that,” he said.
The Biden campaign, the Office of Philadelphia City Commissioners, the election division of Allegheny county government, and the Pennsylvania Department of State didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment from The Epoch Times.
It was reported that a Republican poll watcher was temporarily blocked on Election Day in Philadelphia.
Kevin Feeley, a spokesman for the Philadelphia City Commissioners, admitted that the one poll watcher was prevented from entering the polling site on Nov. 3.
“The mistake was corrected, and the guy was admitted,” he said, claiming it was an isolated incident.

During the election night, Trump led when the ballot canvassing started in several swing states including Pennsylvania. But the lead was diluted by the lately-counted mail-in ballots. In Pennsylvania, Democratic party presidential candidate Joe Biden took a slight lead after the mail-in ballots were counted.
Because the results are very close and several lawsuits are ongoing over the election outcome in several battlefield states, it’s more and more clear that this election will be settled through the judicial system.
The expected lawsuit by the Trump campaign will start another battle line over the outcome of the election in some swing states: mail-in ballots counted without Republican observers.
Over the past few days, Trump has been vocal over the need to protect the sanctity of the ballot box while claiming that Democrats are trying to “steal” the election from him due to efforts to count late-arriving ballots, which he alleges are “illegal.” He and his legal teams have been arguing that mail-in ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 but received after election day should not be counted and that votes that were counted without Republican observers present in the ballot-counting centers should also be considered “illegal votes.”
The U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito late Friday ordered Pennsylvania election officials to segregate ballots that arrived after Election Day.

Is Yoga as Beneficial as Aerobic Exercise ?
There is considerable debate as to whether yoga should be classified as an aerobic or anaerobic form of exercise .

A research article published in the journal Brain Plasticity has revealed that regular yoga practice may impart the same functional benefits to your brain as aerobic exercise.[i]
The review detailed research led by University of Illinois professor Neha Gothe, in conjunction with Wayne State University professor Jessica Damoiseaux, that summarized the findings of 11 prior studies examining the effects of yoga practice on the structures, function and cerebral blood flow of the brain.
As the health benefits of exercise continue to be validated by science, the virtues of yoga, specifically for the brain, have begun to draw interest from neuroscientists. With periods of focused concentration on the breath and incorporation of meditative practice, yoga is known as a science that engages the mind in ways that other physical fitness activities do not.
Gothe and Damoiseaux sought to understand the effects yoga has on the brain, specifically through assessments done with brain scans performed with MRI, fMRI and SPECT devices.
Is Yoga as Beneficial as Aerobic Exercise?
There is considerable debate as to whether yoga should be classified as an aerobic or anaerobic form of exercise. Anaerobic, meaning without air, pertains to exercise conducted in short, intense bursts, such as weight lifting and stretching. Yoga is generally not considered an aerobic activity, but this can vary depending on the style and intensity of an individual’s practice.
Previous studies on yoga have produced results indicating that yoga may impart similar benefits to the body as aerobic exercise.[ii],[iii] Gothe’s team set out to understand if benefits may also be comparable regarding yoga’s structural and functional effects on the brain.
In this scientific review, the research team reviewed 11 studies examining the effects of yoga practice on brain structures, regional functioning and cerebral blood flow. The styles of yoga practiced in the studies were Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga and combined methodologies; what was consistent across the array were that all forms of yoga integrated physical postures, breath control exercises and meditation.
Of the studies reviewed, five involved individuals who were new to yoga and engaged in one or more yoga sessions per week for a period of 10 to 24 weeks. Functional MRIs were done on the brain prior to beginning yoga practice and at the end of the study period, with comparisons of the “before yoga” brain and the “after yoga” brain.
Six studies engaged participants with a regular yoga practice, defined as three or more years of practicing yoga for at least 45 minutes per session, three to four times per week. Their brain health was compared against individuals who were “yoga naïve,” having no yoga or meditation experience, to detect cross-sectional differences between the groups.
None of these cross-sectional studies offered a standardized definition or specific criterion to define a yoga practitioner. Per the review, “[A] yoga practitioner was defined as an individual who had consistently practiced yoga for at least 3 years on a weekly basis.”[iv]
Each of these studies used brain-imaging techniques such as MRI, functional MRI or single-photon emission computerized tomography, and all were conducted on older adult populations, with five of the studies having a mean age of greater than 65 years for the subjects.
Yoga: A Brain-Healthy Alternative to Intense Aerobic Exercise
After analysis was complete, researchers determined that, collectively, the studies demonstrated a positive effect of yoga practice on the structure and/or function of the hippocampus, amygdala, prefrontal cortex, cingulate cortex and brain networks, including the default mode network (DMN).[v]
Specific study findings include greater cortical thickness among female adults over the age of 60 with eight or more years of yoga experience compared to a non-practitioner control group.[vi] Additional findings showed that the volume of the left hippocampus was significantly greater among yoga practitioners compared to age- and sex-matched controls with similar “non-yoga” physical activity and fitness levels.[vii]
The brain changes observed in what was collectively called “the yoga group” are associated with better cognitive tests scores and improved emotional regulation. While these types of neurological functions are generally associated with age-related decline, this study suggests that yoga may reverse this effect in older female subjects.[viii]
According to Gothe, behavioral mind-body interventions such as yoga may be linked to these beneficial anatomical changes in the brain. In a brief released by the News Bureau at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Gothe stated:
“Many studies looking at the brain effects of aerobic exercise have shown a similar increase in hippocampus size over time. Yoga is not aerobic in nature, so there must be other mechanisms leading to these brain changes.”[ix]
While Gothe admitted that, so far, we have not identified what those mechanisms are, she believes that the key to yoga’s positive effects on the brain lies in enhanced emotional regulation.[x] “The practice of yoga helps improve emotional regulation to reduce stress, anxiety and depression and that seems to improve brain functioning.”[xi]
This research offers promising early evidence that behavioral interventions like yoga may hold promise to help mitigate age-related and neurodegenerative decline. Gothe and Damoiseaux have called for further research involving larger, longer studies with more direct measurement of changes in the brain and on cognitive performance, as well as standardized approaches that allow for better comparison against other forms of exercise.
Yoga Benefits Your Body and Mind
Yoga is an ancient science of mind-body integration that connects you with your own deeper truths, as well as to your innate wellness. While yoga’s age-defying effects have been confirmed by science, this may not be the practice’s most profound health benefit.
Yoga’s stress-relieving ability may be its most popular virtue, making it an ideal form of exercise for stress-junkies and anyone with a hectic lifestyle. Yoga can also be called upon during uniquely challenging times, such as during menopause or peri-menopause, or when you want to devote additional focus to your mental wellness.
Kundalini yoga, a science that works directly on the central nervous system, has shown promise for treating veterans with PTSD and offers a hopeful natural alternative to often-risky pharmaceutical interventions.
