November 24, 2020 (American Thinker) — One of the many disheartening aspects of the current electoral scandal, the greatest fraud ever perpetrated in the history of the United States, is the extent to which a significant number of conservatives and conservative news-and-opinion sites have opted to take a “cautious approach” — as one of my editors said — to what they see as an impending Democrat victory or a victory they regard as already given. It is as if they have decided to “play nice” in the hope of being spared retribution by the enemy following its putative occupation of the White House.
Thus, Democrat shills and prevaricating spokespeople are treated with a certain respect or cited neutrally while individuals and organizations fighting for justice, constitutionality and electoral integrity, and struggling to expose the workings of the great hoax, are either ignored, condescended to, or criticized. I have read many articles written by people nominally on the right or center-right where a sentiment of capitulation, of opportunistic coddling of the Democrats, was distressingly evident, as if they had given up the fight and were already accustoming themselves to a Biden dispensation. Others seem to be buckling under corporate pressure. Tucker Carlson's irascible snit, for example, over Sidney Powell's refusal to show her hand in her ongoing investigation of the electoral swindle, which the courts would likely have seen as premature and prejudicial to her cause and which would have provided her adversaries with information they could have used, is a case in point.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition In a bombshell press conference, President Trump's legal team has revealed evidence of alleged massive voter fraud in several constituencies key to election victory in 2020. Appealing to every American, Rudy Giuliani, Team Trump's lead counsel, said: "Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots. Give us an opportunity to prove it in court, and we will." Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition asking state legislators, IN EVERY U.S. STATE, not to allow election certification of their state until all of the evidence has been ruled on and every legal challenge exhausted. This is not about President Trump or former Vice President Biden...at this stage, our republic and the integrity of our elections literally hang in the balance. The claims of voter fraud made by Team Trump were very alarming, but here are some of the worst: The lack of oversight and security of mail-in ballots;
Direction by some election officials to election workers to violate election statutes;
The eviction of Republican observers who were kept away from inspecting ballots in some cities;
Instances of 'overvoting', where more ballots were cast in some precincts than registered voters;
The arrival of thousands of ballots - all marked for Biden - at one count center, in the middle of the night And, all of the these claims are backed-up by sworn affidavits of people who allegedly witnessed these fraudulent actions take place.

The practice of reluctance, the unwillingness to confront the scandal in which as many as possibly ten million votes* may have been either fraudulently cast or illicitly rejected in Biden's favor, along with the implicit and over-hasty assumption that Biden has won the White House, together contribute to Biden's momentum toward a counterfeit victory. It is astonishing that such conservatives cannot see, in virtue of such behavior, that they have become the de facto allies of a criminal party, a spurious election, and a corrupt and devious challenger. They will have helped to bring the disaster about.
Some conservatives try to console themselves with a vision of a redemptive future.
One of the assumptions floating around is that Trumpian populism has taken root in the culture, ensuring that the nation can weather four years of Bidenesque incompetence and treachery; come back in 2024, perhaps with Trump or possibly Nikki Haley at the helm; and exact revenge on a felonious presidency. This is a pipe dream if ever there was one.
Four years of a Biden administration will see the further entrenching of systematic electoral fraud plus a tornado of grateful refugees, illegal aliens and Muslim immigrants from Somalia and similar regions, on whose votes the Democrats can count with complete assurance. The result is inevitable. The papier-mâché charade of a two-party political system will remain in place, but Republicans will never win another election, and America will have devolved into an undeclared one-party nation — effectively, a leftist totalitarian regime.
This is not a mere hypothesis, but a plausible eventuality in the absence of popular resistance and judicial redress. It represents what is at stake as the current electoral disgrace unfolds. Clearly, an event on this scale, which is like the impact of a political asteroid wiping out all signs of decency, propriety, and constitutional legitimacy cannot be passed over or validated. Its unprecedented magnitude must be acknowledged and no responsible citizen, columnist, or judge, and certainly no conservative-oriented outlet, should permit it to succeed.

lifesitenews--2020-11-25--Swiss health economist proposes denying healthcare to ‘corona rebels’

SWITZERLAND , November 24 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – A Swiss health expert has suggested that “ skeptics ” of the coronavirus might be denied “ their right to intensive care , ” saying that “ it often takes a penalty for the system to work.
” In an interview with Swiss news outlet Tamedia , health economist Willy Oggier shared his controversial thoughts on what measures might be put in place to ease the burden on a stretched ICU during an influx of coronavirus-infected patients .
According to Oggier , “ corona [ skeptics ] forfeit their right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care place in the event of bottlenecks ” and that “ these people [ should ] be recorded by name and , in case of doubt , not be given an intensive care bed.
” It is unclear exactly who Oggier would classify as coronavirus “ skeptics ” or “ rebels.
” Oggier denied that this system punishes those who criticize the government ’ s response to the coronavirus outbreak , but rather believes that medical professionals will have to make a choice of who to give empty beds to , and that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corona rebel is left behind than when it simply hits the oldest patient in the room.
” To bolster this statement , Oggier said that “ it often takes a penalty for the system to work.
” Oggier went on to say that , although at present it would not be appropriate to mandate a vaccine , after the side effects had been studied mandatory vaccination would make sense .
Many world leaders are also refusing to rule out mandating citizens be forced to take a coronavirus vaccine .
The New York State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New York to make vaccination mandatory for all residents .
In lockstep with many European governments , Oggier strongly supports the wearing of face masks in public , decrying a situation he witnessed at Zurich ’ s main railway station , where citizens supposedly did not heed the police ’ s request to don a mask .
His reaction was that “ [ t ] his can not be !
” The claim that masks offer a sure safeguard against the spread of coronavirus is disputed by numerous reputable health professionals .
Oggier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ standpoint , it would be impossible to control the rate of spread of the virus without strict measures in place : “ the looser the measures , the more strictly they have to be enforced .
Otherwise we wo n't get the infection numbers under control quickly enough.
” The economist also suggested that , in order to swiftly bring about compliance , “ [ a ] n immediate legal basis is needed for hefty fines that can be issued without a long process.
” When asked how this system might be put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ q ] uite simply : Anyone who is reported because they deliberately disregard the rules of distance and hygiene should be responsible for their actions.

In an interview with Swiss news outlet Tamedia, health economist Willy Oggier shared his controversial thoughts on what measures might be put in place to ease the burden on a stretched ICU during an influx of coronavirus-infected patients.
According to Oggier, “corona [skeptics] forfeit their right to an acute bed or an intensive care place in the event of bottlenecks” and that “these people [should] be recorded by name and, in case of doubt, not be given an intensive care bed.”
It is unclear exactly who Oggier would classify as coronavirus “skeptics” or “rebels.”
Oggier denied that this system punishes those who criticize the government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, but rather believes that medical professionals will have to make a choice of who to give empty beds to, and that it is “fairer when the self-proclaimed corona rebel is left behind than when it simply hits the oldest patient in the room.” To bolster this statement, Oggier said that “it often takes a penalty for the system to work.”
Oggier went on to say that, although at present it would not be appropriate to mandate a vaccine, after the side effects had been studied mandatory vaccination would make sense.
Many world leaders are also refusing to rule out mandating citizens be forced to take a coronavirus vaccine. The New York State Bar Association recently advised the state of New York to make vaccination mandatory for all residents.
In lockstep with many European governments, Oggier strongly supports the wearing of face masks in public, decrying a situation he witnessed at Zurich’s main railway station, where citizens supposedly did not heed the police’s request to don a mask. His reaction was that “[t]his can not be!” The claim that masks offer a sure safeguard against the spread of coronavirus is disputed by numerous reputable health professionals.
Oggier also said that, from an economic standpoint, it would be impossible to control the rate of spread of the virus without strict measures in place: “the looser the measures, the more strictly they have to be enforced. Otherwise we won't get the infection numbers under control quickly enough.” The economist also suggested that, in order to swiftly bring about compliance, “[a]n immediate legal basis is needed for hefty fines that can be issued without a long process.”

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: No to mandatory vaccination for the coronavirus Show Petition Text 1082415 have signed the petition. Let's get to 1100000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition People of goodwill can disagree about the safety, efficacy and religious implications of a new vaccine for the coronavirus. But, everyone should agree on this point: No government can force anyone who has reached legal adulthood to be vaccinated for the coronavirus. Equally, no government can vaccinate minors for the coronavirus against the will of their parents or guardians. Please SIGN this urgent petition which urges policymakers at every level of government to reject calls for mandatory coronavirus vaccination. Fear of a disease - which we know very little about, relative to other similar diseases - must not lead to knee-jerk reactions regarding public health, nor can it justify supporting the hidden agenda of governmental as well as non-governmental bodies that have apparent conflicts of interest in plans to restrict personal freedoms. The so-called "public health experts" have gotten it wrong many times during the current crisis. We should not, therefore, allow their opinions to rush decision-makers into policies regarding vaccination. And, while some people, like Bill Gates, may have a lot of money, his opinion and that of his NGO (the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) - namely, that life will not return to normal till people are widely vaccinated - should not be permitted to influence policy decisions on a coronavirus vaccination program. Finally, we must also not allow the rush by pharmaceutical companies to produce a new coronavirus vaccine to, itself, become an imperative for vaccination. Unwitting citizens must not be used as guinea pigs for New World Order ideologues, or Big Pharma, in pursuit of a vaccine (and, profits) which may not even protect against future mutated strains of the coronavirus. And it goes without saying that the production of vaccines using aborted babies for cell replication is a total non-starter, as the technique is gravely immoral. However, if after sufficient study of the issue, a person who has reached the age of majority wishes to be vaccinated with a morally produced vaccine, along with his children, that is his business. But we cannot and will not permit the government to make that decision for us. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition, urging policymakers at all levels of government to reject mandatory coronavirus vaccination.

November 24 , 2020 ( American Thinker ) — According to the media , Trump and his deplorables are doing a great disservice to the nation by demanding assurances about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election .
After all , Joe Biden has been all but inaugurated by news personalities and the Democratic Party , and the social media censors have assured us that there 's no evidence of any wrongdoing , so it 's obviously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to mull the outlandish possibility that Americans are the victims of what Biden described ( either carelessly or carefully ) as the `` most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics . ''
Funny thing , though : The public does n't seem to agree that the idea of a stolen election is so fringy .
At the risk of lending credence to that archaic and thoroughly discredited barometer of public opinion known as polling , a new survey shows that not only nearly half of Americans think @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but nearly 30 percent of Democrat voters think the election was stolen from Trump .
That 's an incredible number .
Consider that roughly the same percentage of Democrats believe that their own party may have stolen the 2020 election as the percentage of Democrats who are supportive of late-term abortion .
Democrats guilty of having the former suspicion are reviled as members of a fringe cabal of evil conspiracy theorists , while supporters of the latter atrocity write the Democratic Party platform on abortion and earn media applause .
Curious how that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how does it come to be that three quarters of Republican and nearly one third of Democrat voters all believe that the election was stolen from Trump ?
The reason why so many voters , and even Democrat voters , might believe that this election was stolen is really quite simple .
It 's that , much to the media 's chagrin , we Americans still have eyes to see the obvious signs of election fraud that exist .
Election night in 2020 was different from anything that I , or anyone else @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are numerous indicators suggesting that the election was stolen from Trump .

November 24, 2020 (American Thinker) — According to the media, Trump and his deplorables are doing a great disservice to the nation by demanding assurances about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. After all, Joe Biden has been all but inaugurated by news personalities and the Democratic Party, and the social media censors have assured us that there's no evidence of any wrongdoing, so it's obviously just a waste of time and energy to mull the outlandish possibility that Americans are the victims of what Biden described (either carelessly or carefully) as the “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Democrats guilty of having the former suspicion are reviled as members of a fringe cabal of evil conspiracy theorists, while supporters of the latter atrocity write the Democratic Party platform on abortion and earn media applause. Curious how that works.
The question looms: just how does it come to be that three quarters of Republican and nearly one third of Democrat voters all believe that the election was stolen from Trump?
The reason why so many voters, and even Democrat voters, might believe that this election was stolen is really quite simple. It's that, much to the media's chagrin, we Americans still have eyes to see the obvious signs of election fraud that exist.

All the feverish interest in the results that we'd seen all evening was suddenly gone.
What happened?
At the New York Stock Exchange, trading is halted when the market dips below specified levels during a single trading day. A seven-percent daily drop in the S&P 500, for example, triggers a 15-minute trading halt. Another 15-minute halt would occur at a 13-percent daily drop in the index, and trading would end for the day altogether with a 20-percent drop. These are known as market circuit breakers, and they're designed to halt calamitous market trends.
Such a mechanism should obviously not apply to elections, unless those administrating the elections feel that too significant a trend in one direction would be calamitous. Yet, for many, this appears to be the most logical explanation for what happened on Election Night. When Trump looked to be only hours away from securing his victory, a circuit breaker was triggered in those swing states where Trump was surging.
We Americans awoke to an entirely different reality when reporting resumed. Trump had suddenly become an underdog. Massive, Biden-heavy ballot dumps and improbable statistical anomalies appeared, particularly in and around cities like Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Atlanta, which are all run by corrupt Democratic machines. This aided Biden in recovering from a deficit of hundreds of thousands of votes in those swing states where Trump had only won by tens of thousands of votes only four years ago, and in spite of Trump earning more votes than any other presidential candidate in American history — with the lone exception, we are told to believe, of a doddering, plagiarizing, gropy, unquestionably corrupt swamp creature who hid in the basement throughout the election and has difficulty stringing a sentence together, even when a teleprompter is directing him.
We all saw the unprecedented energy around Trump's campaign in 2020, which earned him 10 million new voters since 2016, including a greater share of all ethnic minorities and women. And we also saw the equally unprecedented lethargy of Biden campaign events, which couldn't draw more than flies and a few news cameras. Are we to believe that that guy got more votes than Obama in 2008, and more than Trump in 2020?
Apparently, for almost half of Americans, our own eyes and simple logic suggest not.
There's no mystery as to why people have serious questions about what we saw go down on Election Night. Are we seriously expected to accept that Trump gave up a lead of tens or hundreds of thousands of votes in states like Michigan (which lives under perpetual, soul-sucking, and Democrat-induced COVID lockdowns) or Wisconsin (which has been ravaged by left-wing riots that were stoked and allowed to proliferate by Democratic leadership) or Pennsylvania (in which hundreds of thousands of families subsist on an energy industry that Biden has pledged to destroy), all under cover of darkness and absent ample bipartisan oversight, without substantial proof that fraud didn't take place?
There needs to be a truthful and believable explanation as to how and why this coordinated circuit breaker was triggered on Election Night, if not to reverse the trajectory of the election that all Americans were witnessing. Americans have never seen anything like it, or the countless irregularities that followed. An engaged citizenry should demand answers for all of this. And an honest, functioning media would certainly demand accountability for it, rather than suggesting that anyone questioning it is somehow a threat to our democracy.
After all, if the scenario were reversed, does any among us think Democrats would be demanding anything less than answers and accountability?

lifesitenews--2020-11-24--New Mexico closes grocery stores in lockdown ‘reset’ as food insecurity grows

ALBUQUERQUE , New Mexico , November 24 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Amidst rising unemployment and worries about sourcing food , the governor of New Mexico forced grocery stores to close as part of the latest COVID-19 lockdown .
Democratic Gov .
Michelle Lujan Grisham ’ s latest rules in the New Mexico “ reset ” have resulted in “ businesses with four or more rapid responses of COVID-19 cases reported within in a 14-day period to close for two weeks.
” Grisham ’ s new rules stipulate that essential stores , including grocery stores , must operate on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 75 customers inside or exceed 25 percent of maximum occupancy at any time , whichever is smaller , ” and must also close by 10 p.m .
The Washington Examiner reports that by Monday afternoon , “ [ m ] ore than 25 essential businesses were shut down , ” due to positive tests for COVID-19 among staff .
Of this number , “ nearly half were grocery stores or major retailers.
” When asked to justify her laws , Grisham answered last week , “ You can ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ store that sells groceries if all of the employees or the vast majority of them have COVID.
” However , despite Grisham referring to “ all ” or “ the vast majority ” of employees being infected with COVID-19 , her new laws order the closure of any business “ following the occurrence of four ( 4 ) or more ” positive cases of the virus “ within a fourteen ( 14 ) day period.
” KOB 4 reports that people living in southeast New Mexico “ said they ’ re worried a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ force people to travel out of state or to stand in line at other stores and cause the virus to spread.
” One of Gov .
Grisham ’ s spokesmen said , “ The state is not forcing anyone to stand in a crowded line , as you suggest , ” and that talk of long lines outside stores was simply “ politically motivated , ” and even a “ Republican talking point.
” In response , the Pinon Post provided numerous photographs , documenting the lines of people queuing outside stores , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s edict .
The Pinon Post described the statements as “ inaccurate ” and “ ignoring reality.
” The Republican Party of New Mexico also responded to the governor ’ s spokesman , saying , “ Visit any grocery store in NM & then tell all those people in line that they are just ‘ Republican talking points ’ .
” The governor ’ s office sent a press statement to KOB 4 in reference to the story : “ There is no community in the state of New Mexico where COVID-19 closures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or medicine options for any community or group of people .
Every single community where the virus is forcing closures has alternate stores , alternate resources .
Moreover , stores are only ordered closed for the protection of public safety when the store 's staff members have an abundance of COVID-19 infections among them — surely you and everyone in New Mexico can agree that not one of us would like to be shopping among staff that are contagious.
” A study by Feeding America showed that New Mexico was ranked 5th most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people projected to be without proper access to food this year .
Of that predicted number , 162,960 would be children .
The figures show a rise of just under 120,000 people with “ food insecurity ” compared to the previous year .
While lockdowns are being reintroduced across the globe in supposed attempts to combat the spread of COVID-19 , studies are proving that such measures are ineffective .
Conducted by the Heritage Foundation , a paper in July examined the United States , Germany , Australia , New Zealand , South @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Sweden , and Iran .
The study found that lockdowns “ are less effective at combating COVID-19 than strategies more narrowly targeted at those most in danger.
” More recently , the American Institute for Economy Research ( AIER ) issued a report re-affirming the findings that lockdowns cause widespread damage to normal life .
The AIER showed that lockdowns significantly detrimentally affected mental health , unemployment figures , crime rates and healthcare .

PETITION UPDATE (8/27/2020)
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE this petition, which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask orders within their borders.
Facebook has restored the share link for this petition, saying that the decision to block it was a 'mistake...'
Please share with your Facebook friends, but we should all take heed of this warning: when an organization or individuals have to beg, plead and cajole just to express objective truths, it may be time to start looking for other social networking platforms.
Facebook needs to treat its users with respect, no matter their political persuasion. Moreover, Facebook needs to treat objective reality and facts with more respect.
One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/25/2020)
Facebook is actively censoring this petition, saying that some people find it 'abusive.'
How anyone could find alternate facts about oppressive mask mandates 'abusive' is incredible...that is, impossible to believe.
This is exactly the kind of censorship which Big Tech is getting a bad reputation for.
The fact that Facebook calls differing opinion and objective reality "abusive" says a lot about Facebook and their agenda to silence reason and logic, not just conservatives and Christians.
But, people are more intelligent than Facebook give them credit for.
And, the more this continues, the more reasonable people will look alternate platforms to share their thoughts and connect with their friends and family. The more that happens, the less revenue Facebook will generate.
All of us have a decision to make, and the time is coming where we might have to tell our Facebook friends that we are moving to another platform.
We are encouraging people to continue SIGNING this petition and SHARING it via other platforms such as Parler and Gab, and to share the link below with your family and friends on Whatsapp, Telegram, Threema and Signal.
Thank you!

One-size-fits-all oppressive government mask mandates must stop!
Healthy adults and children should not be forced - by the state - to wear masks when the risk of infection is low and the benefit of wearing a mask is highly questionable.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse mandatory mask mandates within their borders.
Public health policies should be based on science and logic, not on the type of political posturing and virtue-signaling which led Joe Biden to recently call for a national mask mandate.
And, public health policies certainly shouldn't lead to a situation where more people could become sick.
But, that is exactly what these mandatory mask mandates are doing.
Here are four inconvenient facts about masks:
1) Masks** are largely ineffective at stopping the transmission of viruses.
The vast majority of masks worn by the public are made from material which cannot filter-out viruses because virus particles are too small to catch or obstruct. Wearing cloth masks to stop a virus is like putting a bee in a bird cage to keep it from flying away.
Wearing a mask for long periods of time ensures that the wearer has a warm and moist receptacle around his or her mouth, on which viruses and bacteria can land and accumulate.
Thus, masks are actually likely to have little effect in stopping the spread of COVID-19 acting as a barrier, but could actually make things worse acting as a receptacle.
2) Mandates which call for masks to be worn outdoors are both absurd and oppressive.
3) There are clearly documented hazards of wearing masks for long periods of time.
4) And, since school is on everyone's mind...
Notwithstanding the above information on the ineffectiveness of most masks against viruses, we don't know if asymptomatic children can even transmit the virus.
But, it was a reported in an article in the July 21, 2020 Uk Times that: "There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the UK government's leading scientific advisers."
And, we also know that children are extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die from COVID infections. In any case, children cannot possibly be expected to wear a mask properly in a way that would cut transmission.
There are still a lot of unknowns about COVID-19, but we have grown in our understanding of this disease since the beginning of the crisis.
The knowledge we have gained should allow government and health authorities to make more nuanced policies than the current one-size-fits-all mask mandates.
Where are the legislative hearings in county commissions, and state, provincial or federal legislatures before these drastic actions are mandated? Where are the open and transparent debates among experts that provide our representatives with the necessary information to make good policy decisions?
The real pandemic is the panic and the resulting tyranny that is being caused by dictatorial governors, corporate media and the monopolistic Big Tech.
The truth is that COVID-19 is like a bad cold for most people; this is not ebola or the plague.
Of course, the very elderly and those with serious health conditions should take precautions or be quarantined, but the rest of society should begin the long process of returning to normality.
The frenzy to force everyone to wear a mask, at all times, has gone beyond all comprehension, and goes against science and logic.
Please SIGN this petition which asks policymakers at all levels of government to reverse any mandatory mask order within the borders of their county, state, province, or country.
Thank you!

November 24 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In a rant by Pope Francis where he lets down his guard and allows his leftist colors to show more than in the past , the Pope said of anti-lockdown protestors , “ you ’ ll never find such people protesting the death of George Floyd , or joining a demonstration because there are shantytowns where children lack water or education , or because there are whole families who have lost their income.

lifesitenews--2020-11-24--Trump lawyer teases brand-new ‘shocking’ lawsuit about Georgia election

November 24 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – President Donald Trump ’ s case contesting the initial election results is far from over , according to a member of his legal team who teased a “ shocking ” new set of legal challenges will soon be filed in Georgia .
“ We have got lawsuits likely to be filed in Georgia on either Monday or Tuesday , ” Jordan Sekulow told Newsmax over the weekend , the Epoch Times reports .
“ I can ’ t tell you right now , but what ’ s coming in Georgia will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal court Monday or Tuesday , ” he added .
“ It ’ s nothing that we have talked [ about ] before.
” “ I will tell you , the Lt. Gov .
[ Geoff Duncan ] in Georgia , the Secretary of State in Georgia [ Brad Raffensperger ] in Georgia , they ’ re in for quite a shock on Monday and Tuesday about how poorly ... they ran the elections in one of their major counties , ” Sekulow continued , adding that the new charges are “ completely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week by attorney Rudy Giuliani , Jenna Ellis , and Sidney Powell .
At the time of publication , no new lawsuit has yet been filed in Georgia , but a full machine recount requested by the Trump campaign began Tuesday , following the completion of a by-hand audit which reduced former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s lead over Trump from approximately 15,000 to 12,284 , falling short of the margin necessary to flip the state .
That recount is not expected to significantly alter the results , mainly because it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demanded by conservatives and election-integrity activists .
Republican Gov .
Brian Kemp , facing heat for his part in approving the current rules and results so far , on Monday called on election officials to “ conduct a sample audit of signatures on the absentee ballot envelopes and compare those to the signatures on applications and on file at the Secretary of State ’ s Office , ” but state voting system manager Gabriel Sterling claimed the evidence of irregularities was not enough to warrant it .
As for that evidence , Just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 0.2 % of mail-in ballots over such flaws in 2020 , a rate more than 30 times lower than the rejection rate of 6.4 % in 2016 .
University of Florida political science Professor Daniel Smith says this is simply because the “ cure rate ” – contacting absentee voters to resolve discrepancies before their ballots have to be tossed – was “ much higher.
” However , Breitbart ’ s Joel Pollak suggests the curing and rejections would still be higher if not for a consent decree the state settled with Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made meaningful signature matching dramatically less likely by not only requiring any election official who finds a potential mismatch to consult with two colleagues before acting ( “ With hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted , it is difficult to pull additional officials off their assignments to examine a signature ” ) , then requiring all three to sign their own names to the rejected envelope ( potentially subjecting themselves to retaliation for “ voter suppression ” ) .
Further , The Federalist ’ s John Daniel Davidson adds , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signature on file with eNet , the absentee ballot signature only had to match the signature on the absentee ballot application .
The key word in the settlement was ‘ any.
’ That is , an absentee ballot can only be rejected if it doesn ’ t match ‘ any ’ of the signatures on file—either in eNet or the signature on the absentee ballot application.
” This means that “ if someone fraudulently filed an absentee ballot application , that same person could then sign the absentee ballot itself , and since @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballot would be accepted , ” Davidson warns .
Most media outlets have called the presidential election for Biden , though Trump ’ s lawyers say they have identified more than double the number of questionable ballots necessary to prove Trump the legitimate winner .
Trump would need to flip multiple states in addition to Georgia to secure a second term .

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition **Photo credit: Shutterstock.com Mainstream media sources are promoting offensive suggestions by some doctors that people who refuse a vaccine for COVID-19 should be "punished" by the government and by business - effectively coercing them into taking the vaccine. One group of doctors writing in 'USA Today' suggested that the government impose special taxes (i.e., fines) on people who refuse the vaccination and that business simply refuse to serve them. [see story below]
Another doctor writing in an online publication called 'The Conversation' shamelessly suggested that people who refuse a vaccine should be given a psychoactive drug to induce compliance. [see story below] But, these suggestions are plain political posturing, and have nothing to do with science or with the recent trends of the disease. And, in case they haven't noticed, we live in a democracy not a medical dictatorship! Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks policy-makers and business people, at all levels, to pledge to respect the rights of those who, in good conscience, decide not to vaccinate themselves or their children. People should not have to live in fear of governmental or corporate retribution for refusing a vaccine which is being rushed to market by Big Pharma and their fellow-travelers in NGOs, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It would be intolerable and immoral for the government or business to coerce someone, and their family, to take a COVID vaccine against their will to avoid a fine, or just so they can do their weekly grocery shopping. Medical freedom must be respected in principle and also in practice. So, it is now time that our policy-makers listen to all voices involved in this vital conversation, and start to represent those who will not tolerate being punished for refusing a vaccine. Simply put, legislatures must begin to act as legislatures again. Questions must be asked. Hearings and investigations must be held. And, the legislatures of each state and country must return to the business of representing the people who voted for them, assuming their rightful place as the originator of legislation. We can no longer accept the dictates of executive branches without question, especially now that, statistically speaking, the initial brunt of the COVID crisis has passed. Neither can we accept the dictates of doctors who seem detached from reality and from science, and who only seem to be attached to the idea of promoting ideas which contribute to the agrandizement of power and control of political interests, and wealth of those who stand to make a lot of money from the sale of a COVID vaccine. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks government and business leaders to pledge to respect the rights of those who refuse a COVID vaccine, and not seek to punish them for doing so.

The news comes shortly after a similar announcement last month by an official in the West Midlands Police in the U.K.
David Jamieson, the politician responsible for the U.K. police force in the West Midlands area, made the comments to The Telegraph, stating, “If we think there’s large groups of people gathering where they shouldn’t be, then police will have to intervene. If, again, there’s flagrant breaking of the rules, then the police would have to enforce.”
Jamieson, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for West Midlands Police (WMP), oversees the department and has the power to appoint and fire the chief constable.
Since Jamieson’s comments, the U.K. government has announced an easing of the current national lockdown, with plans to allow three households to meet over the Christmas period. In place of a national lockdown, the country will return to a stricter tiered system of restrictions.
While lockdowns are being reintroduced across the globe in supposed attempts to combat the spread of COVID-19, studies are proving that such measures are ineffective. Conducted by the Heritage Foundation, a paper in July examined the United States, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Italy, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Iran. The study found that lockdowns “are less effective at combating COVID-19 than strategies more narrowly targeted at those most in danger.”
More recently, the American Institute for Economy Research (AIER) issued a report re-affirming the findings that lockdowns cause widespread damage to normal life. The AIER showed that lockdowns significantly and detrimentally affect mental health, unemployment figures, crime rates and healthcare.

Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/16/2020) - Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—has spent billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market. Now, the FDA has granted emergency approval to roll out the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, and people in the UK and the US are already receiving it. Though the Pfizer vaccine was not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, it was tested using the HEK293 fetal cell line to create humanized mice. And, more unethical vaccines are reaching the finish line and are being funded and promoted by the HHS with our tax dollars. We must continue to demand that this stop and that a fully ethical vaccine be brought to market instead! SIGN and SHARE our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop using our money to support the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. _________________________________________________________________________________ Operation Warp Speed—the HHS’s program to accelerate the development, manufacture, and distribution of COVID-19 therapeutics—is spending billions of our tax dollars to bring a COVID vaccine to market as quickly as possible. Now, two of the Operation Warp Speed vaccines (one created by Pfizer/BioNTech and one created by Moderna/NIH) are nearing the finish line, soon to be applying for emergency FDA approval for mass distribution. And, while LifeSite neither advocates for or against voluntary vaccination, there are several apparent problems with the vaccines being fast-tracked by HHS’ Operation Warp Speed. First among the vaccines’ major problems: they were tested using aborted fetal cells . Please SIGN and SHARE LifeSite’s urgent petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop funding and promoting this unethical practice, and bring a fully ethical vaccine to market instead. The production and testing of vaccines that use the remains of aborted children, regardless of when they were killed and at what point they were used in the process, is morally unacceptable and must be consistently opposed by the whole pro-life movement. And, although the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines were not designed or produced using aborted fetal cells, the Personhood Alliance recently reported that the vaccines’ testing phases used the HEK293 aborted fetal cell line to create humanized mice. This stomach-churning practice transferred immortalized cells from a child killed in 1973 into mouse embryos, so that when the mice were born, they had tiny human lungs that researchers infected with COVID to test the vaccines. This type of Frankenscience has no place in a civilized society, certainly not one whose citizens are forced to fund it! Sign our petition with the Personhood Alliance to demand that the HHS stop supporting the grisly connection between abortion and biomedical science. We can make a difference if we raise our voices together, but we’re running out of time! Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition today!
