December 4 , 2020 ( Turning Point Project ) — Bishop Robert McElroy of San Diego recently said that Catholics should be “ proud collaborators ” with the Biden administration .
On the other hand , Archbishop Vigano , the former Papal Nuncio to the U.S. , frames the current conflict between Trump and Biden as part of an apocalyptic struggle between good and evil .
And he urges Catholics to resist the leftist attempt to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significant number of Catholics agree with Vigano , a great many others , even those who aren ’ t happy with Biden , feel that you just have to accept the results of the election and move on .
There is , of course , a good chance that Biden ’ s “ victory ” may be overturned if sufficient election fraud is uncovered by Trump ’ s legal team .
But if that doesn ’ t happen , should that be the end of it ?
Should the Catholic resistance cease and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better result in the mid-term elections ?
That largely depends on what sort of a situation we ’ re in .
Are we in the midst of a normal transition of power from a right-of-center party to a left-of-center party both of which share the same basic values ?
Clearly not .
The two parties can no longer agree on what the Declaration of Independence calls “ the laws of Nature and of Nature ’ s God.
” One party , on the whole , accepts the Judeo-Christian view that marriage should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The other party holds that idea in contempt .
One party maintains that there are only two sexes ; the other party believes that there are an infinite number .
What ’ s more , the party of the second part believes it has the right to force the party of the first part to believe as they do .
Or else the non-conformists will be subject to reputation loss , job loss , and financial loss .
The two parties are even in disagreement about the purpose of government .
One party @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that governments are instituted among men primarily to protect life and liberty .
By contrast , the protection of life , liberty , and property are far down the list of priorities subscribed to by the other party — many notches below the protection of the environment , the right of 8-year-olds to choose their own gender , and the right of educators to teach children to hate their country .
If the first duty of a government is to protect the life and liberty of its citizens , then a good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not qualified to lead the government .
Few prominent Democrats spoke out about the rioting , looting , and assaults that occurred in hundreds of cities during the spring and summer of 2020 .
Few seemed concerned with calls to defund and/or abolish the police until some realized that silence on the issue might affect their chances for re-election .
In short , the “ party of the people ” doesn ’ t seem to care if there are no police to defend the people .
What ’ s more , as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and even gun confiscation , they want to take away the people ’ s ability to defend themselves .
Democrats seem to lack enthusiasm for the Second Amendment .
How about the First ?
Freedom of speech ?
Sure .
But only if they approve of what you say .
Otherwise you can look forward to six months of sensitivity training .
The right of assembly ?
Yes , but only if you limit your assembly to ten people , put on your mask , practice social distancing , and refrain from inappropriate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s perfectly okay as long as your church doesn ’ t teach anything that conflicts with approved secular doctrine .
As we ’ re rapidly learning , the left-liberal establishment is no friend of the Constitution or of the liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights .
This brings us back to the question of whether or not Catholics and other citizens are bound to accept the election results .
If the election of a Democratic administration means the end of Constitutional government , are citizens constitutionally required to abide by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a pro-slavery party had somehow managed to win the election , would the rest of the country be obliged to accept the re-establishment of slavery ?
If a present-day pro-slavery party seems unimaginable , suppose that a pro-environment , pro–population control party came to power .
And suppose one plank in their platform called for the culling of a certain percentage of people above the age of 80 and below the age of two .
This would be by lottery , of course , to give everyone an equal chance .
That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imagine , is it ?
But should we insist that because the population control party won the election fair and square , the rest of us must fall in line ?
In short , is there a point at which citizens are justified in rejecting duly appointed leaders ?
The Declaration of Independence unequivocally states that there is such a point .
To wit : “ Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [ Life , Liberty , and the pursuit of Happiness ] , it is the right of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and to institute new Government ... ” After which comes a qualifier : “ Prudence , indeed , will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes ... ” However , “ when a long train of abuses and usurpations ... evince a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism , it is their right , it is their duty , to throw off such Government , and to provide new Guards for their future security.
” Two sentences later , the Declaration reiterates the right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are usurping the rights of the people and attempting to establish an “ absolute Tyranny.
” The question for us is whether or not we have reached the stage of absolute tyranny .
Have we ?
No not quite yet .
The governing class still pays lip service to the Constitution , and they do not yet control every aspect of our lives .
But they are very close to doing that .
And because they have far more resources at their disposal , they are capable of establishing a far more total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imagined .
They aspire not only to control behavior , but also thoughts .
How do you control thoughts ?
By controlling access to information .
It ’ s difficult to think clearly about a situation if you are poorly informed about it .
And the woke among us have become very skilled in the science of controlling what we ’ re allowed to know .
Here ’ s a case in point .
A new survey conducted by the Media Research Center ( MRC ) found that media censorship of news stories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the election .
The MRC found that “ one of every six Biden voters we surveyed ( 17 % ) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these stories.
” For example , 35.4 % of Biden voters were unaware of “ Biden sex assault allegations ” and 8.9 % of those voters say they would have changed their vote if they had known .
Likewise , an amazing 45.1 % of Biden voters were unaware of the “ Hunter Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those would have changed their vote if they had known .
The MRC study concluded that had voters not been kept in the dark about these and six other stories , Trump would have won the election handily .
The MRC poll and numerous other similar revelations suggest that the Orwellian future we have long feared has arrived ahead of schedule .
As in Orwell ’ s 1984 , inconvenient facts are dropped down the “ memory hole , ” or else — as in the incriminating facts on Hunter Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surface in the first place .
Obviously , we are no longer dealing with a single person ( such as King George ) or a single party ( such as the Democrats ) , but with a ruling elite — a governing class made up of like-minded people in government , media , academia , and big business .
This governing class is agreed that there are certain things that people should be allowed to know , and certain things that they must not even think about .
It looks as though this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of view is a traitor class , ) has launched a seemingly successful coup attempt against our existing Constitutional order .
Prominent members of the Democratic Party—the political wing of this elite movement—have already made clear that they plan radical changes to the Constitutional system of checks and balances .
By packing the Supreme Court , extending voting rights to D.C. , Puerto Rico and territories yet to be named , and by transforming illegal immigrants into registered Democrats , they hope to secure permanent and absolute one-party rule .
In the language @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are the usurpers whose “ direct object is the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.
” With the help of their accomplices in big business , media , academia , and the deep state , they are in the process of dismantling the system of government created by the authors of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution .
In this light , President Trump ’ s refusal to concede the election is not an attempt to alter or abolish our still-existing system of government , but to preserve it and– @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hijacked– restore it .
President Trump ’ s determination not to yield the American system of government to a massive left-wing conglomerate intent on destroying that system seems consistent with the intent of the founders .
They were men who devoted much of their lives to the cause of resisting usurpation and restoring liberty .
They were aware , however , that the survival of liberty depended not only on the content of constitutions , but also on the character of the people .
As John Adams observed , “ Our Constitution was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people .
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
” That ’ s a powerful insight .
As the influence of the Judeo-Christian heritage on our society declines , we can see the truth of it .
Once American citizens and their political leaders lose their moral compass , there is no system of government or electoral process that can ’ t be corrupted .
Such people and their utopian schemes should be resisted to the best of our abilities .
There is no duty to submit to tyranny .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ resist peacefully if at all possible .
If they are principled , the Democratic leadership will have no objection to this resistance .
After all , they ’ ve been resisting the last election for the last four years .

On the other hand, Archbishop Vigano, the former Papal Nuncio to the U.S., frames the current conflict between Trump and Biden as part of an apocalyptic struggle between good and evil. And he urges Catholics to resist the leftist attempt to “reset” the culture.
Although a significant number of Catholics agree with Vigano, a great many others, even those who aren’t happy with Biden, feel that you just have to accept the results of the election and move on. There is, of course, a good chance that Biden’s “victory” may be overturned if sufficient election fraud is uncovered by Trump’s legal team. But if that doesn’t happen, should that be the end of it? Should the Catholic resistance cease and deist, and simply work toward a better result in the mid-term elections?
That largely depends on what sort of a situation we’re in. Are we in the midst of a normal transition of power from a right-of-center party to a left-of-center party both of which share the same basic values? Clearly not. The two parties can no longer agree on what the Declaration of Independence calls “the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.” One party, on the whole, accepts the Judeo-Christian view that marriage should be between one man and one woman. The other party holds that idea in contempt. One party maintains that there are only two sexes; the other party believes that there are an infinite number. What’s more, the party of the second part believes it has the right to force the party of the first part to believe as they do. Or else the non-conformists will be subject to reputation loss, job loss, and financial loss.
The two parties are even in disagreement about the purpose of government. One party believes, per the Declaration of Independence, that governments are instituted among men primarily to protect life and liberty. By contrast, the protection of life, liberty, and property are far down the list of priorities subscribed to by the other party — many notches below the protection of the environment, the right of 8-year-olds to choose their own gender, and the right of educators to teach children to hate their country.
If the first duty of a government is to protect the life and liberty of its citizens, then a good case can be made that the Democrats are not qualified to lead the government.

Few seemed concerned with calls to defund and/or abolish the police until some realized that silence on the issue might affect their chances for re-election. In short, the “party of the people” doesn’t seem to care if there are no police to defend the people. What’s more, as evidenced by their penchant for gun control and even gun confiscation, they want to take away the people’s ability to defend themselves.
Democrats seem to lack enthusiasm for the Second Amendment. How about the First? Freedom of speech? Sure. But only if they approve of what you say. Otherwise you can look forward to six months of sensitivity training. The right of assembly? Yes, but only if you limit your assembly to ten people, put on your mask, practice social distancing, and refrain from inappropriate speech. Freedom of religion? That’s perfectly okay as long as your church doesn’t teach anything that conflicts with approved secular doctrine.
As we’re rapidly learning, the left-liberal establishment is no friend of the Constitution or of the liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights. This brings us back to the question of whether or not Catholics and other citizens are bound to accept the election results.

But should we insist that because the population control party won the election fair and square, the rest of us must fall in line?
In short, is there a point at which citizens are justified in rejecting duly appointed leaders? The Declaration of Independence unequivocally states that there is such a point.

How do you control thoughts? By controlling access to information. It’s difficult to think clearly about a situation if you are poorly informed about it. And the woke among us have become very skilled in the science of controlling what we’re allowed to know.
Here’s a case in point. A new survey conducted by the Media Research Center (MRC) found that media censorship of news stories damaging to Biden gave him the edge in the election. The MRC found that “one of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these stories.” For example, 35.4% of Biden voters were unaware of “Biden sex assault allegations” and 8.9% of those voters say they would have changed their vote if they had known. Likewise, an amazing 45.1% of Biden voters were unaware of the “Hunter Biden scandal,” and 9.4% of those would have changed their vote if they had known. The MRC study concluded that had voters not been kept in the dark about these and six other stories, Trump would have won the election handily.
The MRC poll and numerous other similar revelations suggest that the Orwellian future we have long feared has arrived ahead of schedule. As in Orwell’s 1984, inconvenient facts are dropped down the “memory hole,” or else — as in the incriminating facts on Hunter Biden’s laptop — they are not allowed to surface in the first place.
Obviously, we are no longer dealing with a single person (such as King George) or a single party (such as the Democrats), but with a ruling elite — a governing class made up of like-minded people in government, media, academia, and big business. This governing class is agreed that there are certain things that people should be allowed to know, and certain things that they must not even think about.
It looks as though this elite class (which from one point of view is a traitor class,) has launched a seemingly successful coup attempt against our existing Constitutional order. Prominent members of the Democratic Party—the political wing of this elite movement—have already made clear that they plan radical changes to the Constitutional system of checks and balances. By packing the Supreme Court, extending voting rights to D.C., Puerto Rico and territories yet to be named, and by transforming illegal immigrants into registered Democrats, they hope to secure permanent and absolute one-party rule.

They were men who devoted much of their lives to the cause of resisting usurpation and restoring liberty.
They were aware, however, that the survival of liberty depended not only on the content of constitutions, but also on the character of the people. As John Adams observed, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
That’s a powerful insight. As the influence of the Judeo-Christian heritage on our society declines, we can see the truth of it. Once American citizens and their political leaders lose their moral compass, there is no system of government or electoral process that can’t be corrupted.

December 4 , 2020 ( American Thinker ) — On Wednesday , The Ingraham Angle on the Fox News channel broadcast a mind-boggling live interview with a world-renowned microbiologist who said the `` looming '' COVID-19 vaccine is `` downright dangerous '' and will send you `` to your doom . ''
The expert , Sucharit Bhakdi , M.D.
, speaking on a Skype video link from his home in Germany , also said this : Laura Ingraham , Fox News channel host : On the social distancing and the mask , just to focus on that for a moment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ research and your work has been the most displaced ?

— 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.

lifesitenews--2020-12-04--With ‘exceptionally’ low flu rates, Canadian doc speculates COVID edging out flu

December 3 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – According to the government of Canada , influenza rates for the fall flu season of 2020 are “ exceptionally ” low , which has one Canadian doctor speculating that COVID-19 overpowers the flu virus .
“ We could speculate that a more virulent organism ( SARS-CoV-2 ) will bump flu viruses off stage and this phenomenon has apparently been observed .
To what degree , I do not know , ” said Dr. Stephen Malthouse , a Canadian doctor with over 40 years of experience in family medicine , to LifeSiteNews .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ family medicine in British Columbia , made headlines for writing to his province ’ s top doctor to blast the government ’ s COVID-19 lockdown policy .
He also speculated to LifeSiteNews that to see “ such a drop in flu numbers from flu shots , ” which he says at the very most are 60 % effective , “ seems unlikely.
” Malthouse also theorized that the flu shot “ might increase coronavirus and other respiratory infections ” while “ while dampening flu incidence.
” He pointed to studies that suggest this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study shows that those who got the flu vaccine were 36 percent more likely to test positive for pre-SARS CoV2-type coronaviruses .
“ Examining noninfluenza viruses specifically , the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to unvaccinated individuals ( OR = 1.36 and 1.51 , respectively ) ( Table 5 ) , ” reads the U.S. military study .
A 2018 three-year Centers for Disease Control ( CDC ) study that focused mostly on children found that there was an increase “ in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ARI ) in kids who had the flu shot compared to those that did not .

'We could speculate that a more virulent organism (SARS-CoV-2) will bump flu viruses off stage,' Dr. Stephen Malthouse told LifeSiteNews.
December 3, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – According to the government of Canada, influenza rates for the fall flu season of 2020 are “exceptionally” low, which has one Canadian doctor speculating that COVID-19 overpowers the flu virus.
“We could speculate that a more virulent organism (SARS-CoV-2) will bump flu viruses off stage and this phenomenon has apparently been observed. To what degree, I do not know,” said Dr. Stephen Malthouse, a Canadian doctor with over 40 years of experience in family medicine, to LifeSiteNews.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Concerns over the health and safety of the human test subjects in Pfizer's European COVID vaccine study have caused two eminent doctors to launch a petition calling for an immediate halt to those studies. On December 1, 2020, Dr. Michael Yeadon, an ex chief of research at Pfizer and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a lung specialist and former department head of public health lodged an appeal to the EMA, the European Medicine Agency responsible for approving drugs across the EU, asking them to suspend the ongoing Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study on BNT162b (EudraCT number 2020-002641-42). LifeSite is joining Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg in their call for an immediate suspension of this study and we are encouraging people to co-sign their petition to the EMA which is to be found in the petition section on this page. Please SIGN and SHARE this important petition, and then please contact the EMA at the address listed below, in the 'For More Information' section. In their application to the EMA, Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg give the following reasons why the Pfizer study could pose dangers to the health and safety of the study participants: First, the doctors say that the study design must be improved as the highly inaccurate PCR test is currently being used to detect the presence of COVID in the study participants. This means that the efficacy of the vaccine is in doubt. The doctors recommend changing from the PCR test to Sanger sequencing.
Second, and more important, the doctors advocate animal testing of the vaccine to exclude the possibility of the risks to the life and health of human participants from known side-effects of other similar studies on corona viruses. These side-effects can include: an exaggerated immune response when the subject comes into contact with the "real world" virus; possible infertility of an "indefinite duration" for women; severe allergic responses to polyethylene glycol which is contained in the mRNA vaccine being tested by Pfizer; and, other latent, serious side effects which, because of the short duration of the study, may only become known well after the conclusion of the study. Because of these unacceptable risks to the life and health of the Pfizer/BioNtech COVID vaccine study participants, we are joining with Drs. Yeadon and Wodarg as co-signers of their petition to the European Medicine Agency, asking for an immediate halt to these studies. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING, today!

In October, Malthouse, who practices family medicine in British Columbia, made headlines for writing to his province’s top doctor to blast the government’s COVID-19 lockdown policy.
He also speculated to LifeSiteNews that to see “such a drop in flu numbers from flu shots,” which he says at the very most are 60% effective, “seems unlikely.”
Malthouse also theorized that the flu shot “might increase coronavirus and other respiratory infections” while “while dampening flu incidence.” He pointed to studies that suggest this is plausible.
A recent U.S. military study shows that those who got the flu vaccine were 36 percent more likely to test positive for pre-SARS CoV2-type coronaviruses.
“Examining noninfluenza viruses specifically, the odds of both coronavirus and human metapneumovirus in vaccinated individuals were significantly higher when compared to unvaccinated individuals (OR = 1.36 and 1.51, respectively) (Table 5),” reads the U.S. military study.
A 2018 three-year Centers for Disease Control (CDC) study that focused mostly on children found that there was an increase “in the hazard” of acute respiratory illness (ARI) in kids who had the flu shot compared to those that did not.
“Among children there was an increase in the hazard of ARI caused by non-influenza respiratory pathogens post-influenza vaccination compared to unvaccinated children during the same period. Potential mechanisms for this association warrant further investigation,” reads the study.
Overall, this study found that there was a 65-percent increase in the risk of non-flu ARIs in a timeframe of 14 days after receiving the flu vaccine.
To date, there are only 17 confirmed cases in total of the flu in Canada. The federal government says a total of 12,285 participants reported to the weekly FluWatch surveillance network from the period of November 15 to 21, noting that only four lab-confirmed cases of the flu were reported in that time.
The FluWatch surveillance is run by the public health arm of the Canadian federal government.
During the same week in 2019, a total of 298 laboratory-confirmed cases were confirmed across Canada.
“All indicators of influenza activity remain exceptionally low for this time of year, despite continued monitoring for influenza across Canada,” reads the FluWatch surveillance site.
“Influenza surveillance indicators may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes in healthcare-seeking behaviour, impacts of public health measures and influenza testing practices. Current data should be interpreted with consideration to this context.”
In October, Donald Trump, Jr. caused a stir when he retweeted a Daily Mail report that went over a sharp drop in influenza-related deaths across the world this year compared to last.
“We went from 75,000 flu deaths last year in America to almost 0,” he wrote. “Does anyone actually believe that? Or do you think there may be allocation games being played to manipulate the truth?”
The Daily Mail report says countries in the Southern Hemisphere, whose flu season starts before northern countries, showed a dramatic drop in flu cases compared to last year.
The Mail report cites a virus expert, Professor James Stewart from the University of Liverpool, who theorizes that people’s “[i]mmune system cells come in and help destroy the first infection, and if another virus comes along that same response will fight it off.”
Malthouse also told LifeSiteNews that to his knowledge, masks have not been “shown to reduce influenza or influenza-like illnesses.”

“Since the PCR test is completely inaccurate as a means of diagnosing virus agents of infection, we really do not know what is COVID-19 and what is not. There is a great overlap of symptom patterns with Covid and flu and influenza-like illnesses (parainfluenza viruses),” Malthouse told LifeSiteNews.
“We have seen some peculiar symptoms, like early ground glass appearance of the lungs on CT, but since we are really looking much harder than was ever done with flu, even these seemingly pathognomonic findings might not be specific to Covid.”
In Canada, public health officials in every province and territory have made it a high priority to urge people to get the flu shot. As a result, there has been an increase in demand for the vaccine, which has caused shortages.
In November, the province of Nova Scotia recalled certain flu vaccines after three adverse reactions were reported. Health Canada later said the flu vaccines are safe to use, however, after conducting tests on them.

December 4 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Divisions boiled over this week among supporters of President Donald Trump due to attorney Lin Wood publicly calling on conservatives to withhold support from Georgia ’ s Republican Senate candidates in protest of the state Republican Party ’ s failure to investigate election fraud .
Wood , who is not formally part of the president ’ s legal team , is a trial lawyer whose clients over the years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( the child beauty queen murdered in 1996 ) , Richard Jewell ( a security guard who helped evacuate the 1996 Summer Olympics bombing , yet was wrongly accused of planting the bomb ) , Nick Sandmann ( a pro-life teen falsely accused of harassing an elderly Native American at the 2019 March for Life ) , and Kyle Rittenhouse ( the Illinois teen charged with murder for shooting protesters in apparent self-defense this summer ) .
For weeks , Wood has independently filed various lawsuits contesting the results of last month ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ alleged vote fraud and irregularities , particularly the theory that vote totals were manipulated via machines from the company Dominion .
On Tuesday , Wood appeared with attorney Sidney Powell and several other figures at a “ Stop the Steal ” rally in Georgia , during which he and Powell both suggested that conservatives and Republicans abstain from voting for David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler in the January 5 runoff elections for the U.S. Senate .
Powell suggested threatening not to vote as a sort of bargaining chip to demand tougher election integrity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wood , who has repeatedly railed against Perdue and Loeffler on Twitter , framed the question in more personal terms , declaring the two “ have not earned your vote ” : Though highly critical of state Republican leaders such as Gov .
Brian Kemp , President Trump , his son Donald Trump Jr. , and other Trump allies have unequivocally endorsed both federal candidates and urged their followers to support them .
Tensions on the matter have been brewing for days among Trump supporters , but Wednesday ’ s rally — during @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to rebuke pro-Trump Democrat Vernon Jones for urging attendees to support Perdue and Loeffler — seems to have inspired various prominent conservatives to voice those tensions more candidly .
The Trump campaign went so far as to share a Breitbart report detailing Wood ’ s history of voting in Democrat primaries ( which itself is not unusual ; Rush Limbaugh ’ s “ Operation Chaos ” famously urged Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries on the theory she would be a weaker general-election opponent than Barack Obama ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : “ Wood also has a long history of donating to top Democrats ’ presidential , gubernatorial , senatorial , and congressional campaigns , ” Breitbart reports .
“ While he did shift a little bit during the Trump era and made some donations to Trump and some congressional Republicans and to the Republican National Committee , per Federal Election Commission ( FEC ) records , Wood has long backed Democrats for federal office and especially for Georgia offices .
Donations to Democrat Party politicians from Wood over a decade plus total more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as far back as 2004 through as recently as 2018.
” Wood responded by tacitly acknowledging he had supported Democrat candidates in the past , while emphasizing the significant amounts he donated to Republicans in 2020 : The runoffs elicit strong passions because they will determine whether a prospective Biden administration will have a united Democrat Congress to approve the full slate of transformative agenda items Biden campaigned on — including court-packing , codification of Roe v. Wade , the LGBT “ Equality Act , ” and amnesty for illegal immigrants — or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left-win agenda until a future Republican candidate can retake the White House in four years .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

lifesitenews--2020-12-05--Millionaire Democrat Bloomberg spent at least $4M promoting abortion in 2020 election

December 5 , 2020 ( NewsBusters ) — Bloomberg News owner Michael Bloomberg spent millions trying to prop up pro-abortion candidates in the 2020 elections .
Open Secrets records show Bloomberg gave the Planned Parenthood Votes ( PPV ) super PAC at least $ 4 million in the 2020 electoral cycle .
The group , associated with Planned Parenthood , “ makes contributions to candidates who support abortion , ” according to Influence Watch .
The grand total PPV spent on the 2020 federal elections amounted to $ 10,092,809 .
This means that Bloomberg ’ s contribution accounted for a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s entire spending on federal elections in 2020 .
Bloomberg has funneled millions to Planned Parenthood over the years .
Between 2014–2017 alone , the Bloomberg Family Foundation gave the abortion mill at least $ 13,962,000 .
LifeSiteNews referred to the liberal billionaire in November 2019 as “ one of the most radical pro-abortion politicians in American history.
” He apparently wanted to carry that status well into 2020 .
Bloomberg spending millions promoting this disgusting policy position aligns with former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s expected efforts to put his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser referred to Biden ’ s abortion plans as “ extreme.
” Specifically , Dannenfelser stated that a “ Biden-Harris administration could convert every post office and pharmacy into a virtual abortion center — a longtime goal of the abortion industry , which prioritizes profits over health and safety.
” She continued : “ The threat to unborn children and their mothers is staggering.
” Bloomberg ’ s millions were used to help make such leftist policies a reality .
Bloomberg ’ s spending to promote abortion is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he was slated to spend to try to claim the swing state of Florida for Biden .
President Donald Trump would end up winning the state by a 51.2 percent to 47.9 percent margin .
This is in addition to the $ 60 million Bloomberg pledged in August in an attempt to expand the Democrats ’ majority in the House of Representatives , which also failed to materialize .
It ’ s also on top of the more than $ 1 billion he spent on his failed Democratic presidential campaign , the $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign to the Democratic National Committee and the $ 35 million pledge he made to fund the data consulting firm Hawkfish to help Democrats .
One thing is clear : Bloomberg ’ s multimillion-dollar spending on abortion advocacy this year indicates that he wanted to make sure that the slaughter of the unborn continues under a Biden presidency .

States are blocking pro-lifers from sharing the simple message “Choose Life” on their vehicles!
Please SIGN this joint petition between LifeSite and The Children First Foundation to make "Choose Life" license plates available in every state! Tell governors and state officials to allow this pro-life freedom of speech.
Advertising industry statistics show that, for the typical vehicle, a “Choose Life” plate and its simple, powerful message will be seen by other drivers 30,000 to 80,000 times a year.
And, across the U.S., “Choose Life” vehicle license plates (or tags) have raised more than $28 million for pro-life pregnancy centers, maternity homes, safe havens, and adoption centers, varying with each state.
The potential for expanding the “Choose Life” license plate program to new states and new members is incredible – but only if citizens are allowed to have the plates!
It is appalling that seventeen U.S. states do not allow their citizens the right to put “Choose Life” license plates on their vehicles.
The plates have been called pro-life “scare tactics” by Planned Parenthood and unlawful or hateful “private speech” by pro-abortion lawyers. The “Choose Life” message, however, is one of pure love that scares nobody except those who profit from death.
It is unacceptable that we are blocked from our God-given and Constitutional right to spread the message of love and life for vulnerable unborn and newborn children.
Your signature on this petition – no matter where you live – will help to get the “Choose Life” license plate program in states where it is not yet permitted!
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition to make a real difference in persuading these state governments and Departments of Motor Vehicles to “Choose Life.”
Consider, for example, our experience in New York, where Governor Andrew Cuomo is a nationally-recognized advocate of abortion and has been a relentless opponent of the pro-life movement.
Cuomo has blocked the approval of “Choose Life” license plates in NY, despite widespread support for these truly positive messages of love and life. A headline in the New York Post declared, “The DMV Acts Like We Live in Pyongyang.”
And, in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut, similar hurdles were faced.
But we took the fight to the government officials and even to federal court. And, with the help of petitions, we were able to get “Choose Life” license plates on the road in both states.
It is high time for us to convert EVERY state in America to choose life.
Your signature on this petition - no matter where you live - will help make that happen by placing “Choose Life” license plates on tens of thousands more cars.
For love, for life, for the babies, please SIGN and SHARE our worldwide petition to tell state officials and politicians to stop blocking approval of the “Choose Life” license plate!

lifesitenews--2020-12-05--Muslims quote Scripture to encourage ‘Doormat Christianity,’ submission to Islam

December 5 , 2020 ( American Thinker ) — Past and present , one of the least known — and , until the modern era , largely futile — tactics used by Muslims to disarm Christians has been to insist that Christianity is against warfare and violence in general .
The most recent Muslim to take on this mantle of Christian theologian is none other than Somalia-born Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-Minn. ) .
Around November 18 , after Sen. Marco Rubio ( R-Fla. ) criticized Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock for claiming that Christians could not serve both God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Muslim , turned to quoting — that is , misquoting — the Bible .
In a tweet with an embarrassed face emoji , as if to suggest that what Rubio was saying was so embarrassing — in fact , the emoji was appropriate , but more because of her spelling errors — she posted : Omar is hardly the first Muslim to try to manipulate Christian theology to Christians ' own detriment and disadvantage .
For example , prior to the Crusader siege of Antioch in 1098 , Muslim emissaries were sent to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their masters were `` amazed that you should seek the Sepulchre of your lord as armed men , exterminating their people [ Muslims ] from long-held lands — indeed , butchering them at sword point , something pilgrims should not do . ''
These diplomats said nothing about what `` their people '' had been doing to Christian subjects and pilgrims — that is , extorting , torturing , raping , and killing them — which is what occasioned the Crusades in the first place .
Similarly , Omar , who hails from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deemed the third worst persecutor of Christians in the world — would much rather scold Christians into disarming than have them resist violence , especially at the hands of Muslims .
In other words , she , like so many others , is an advocate of Doormat Christianity — a passive , nonjudgmental form of Christianity that deems lying down before an enemy virtuous .
Muslims and other elements are persecuting innocents around the world ?
Show love and tolerance , turn the other cheek , say a prayer , and feel guilty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your ancestors ' crimes .
That is one of the dominant strains of this brand .
Doormat Christianity was regularly on display during Barack Hussein Obama 's presidency : `` On Easter , I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian , I am supposed to love , '' he said in 2015 — three days after a terror attack targeting Christians killed 147 people in Kenya , provoking a few American Christian groups to express anger .
`` And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ get concerned . ''
Similarly , during the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5 , 2015 , Obama directly invoked Doormat Christian tenets to shame Christians from being too critical of Islamic State atrocities : `` Lest we get on our high horse and think this [ Islamic beheadings , sex-slavery , crucifixion , roasting and burying humans alive ] is unique to some other place , '' the American president admonished , `` remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition , people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ did they respond when Muslim diplomats expressed their shock that they , Christian pilgrims , had come with the sword ?
With more knowledge of Christian Just War theory than Omar , Obama , and their ilk would have us believe .
According to the account of Robert the Monk , with `` one accord , '' the crusaders replied : Thirty years earlier , and as just one of countless examples , a German pilgrim wrote of what the Muslims did to a `` noble abbess of graceful body and of a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Jerusalem : `` The pagans captured her , and in the sight of all , these shameless men raped her until she breathed her last , to the dishonor of all Christians .
Christ 's enemies performed such abuses and others like them on the Christians . ''
Before the walls of Antioch , where the word `` Christian '' was first coined , the Crusaders continued by noting that the land `` belonged to our people [ Christians ] originally and your people [ Muslims ] attacked and maliciously took it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can not be yours no matter how long you have had it . ''
Accordingly , `` payback will be exercised by Frankish swords on your necks ! ''
The modern reader may find such an approach extreme , certainly `` medieval . ''
But for the proponents of Doormat Christianity , nothing less than total capitulation will ever do .
To quote Karen Armstrong , a former nun turned advocate for Islam , `` During the 12th Century , Christians were fighting brutal holy wars against Muslims , even though Jesus had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not to exterminate them . ''
In short , Christianity makes ample room for Just War — even as those who seek to subvert justice argue otherwise .

Similarly, Omar, who hails from a radically Islamic nation, Somalia — deemed the third worst persecutor of Christians in the world — would much rather scold Christians into disarming than have them resist violence, especially at the hands of Muslims.
In other words, she, like so many others, is an advocate of Doormat Christianity — a passive, nonjudgmental form of Christianity that deems lying down before an enemy virtuous. Muslims and other elements are persecuting innocents around the world? Show love and tolerance, turn the other cheek, say a prayer, and feel guilty for your own crimes — or even your ancestors' crimes. That is one of the dominant strains of this brand.
Doormat Christianity was regularly on display during Barack Hussein Obama's presidency: “On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love,” he said in 2015 — three days after a terror attack targeting Christians killed 147 people in Kenya, provoking a few American Christian groups to express anger. “And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned.”

Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter.

Similarly, during the National Prayer Breakfast on February 5, 2015, Obama directly invoked Doormat Christian tenets to shame Christians from being too critical of Islamic State atrocities: “Lest we get on our high horse and think this [Islamic beheadings, sex-slavery, crucifixion, roasting and burying humans alive] is unique to some other place,” the American president admonished, “remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ.”
Speaking of the Crusaders, how did they respond when Muslim diplomats expressed their shock that they, Christian pilgrims, had come with the sword? With more knowledge of Christian Just War theory than Omar, Obama, and their ilk would have us believe.
According to the account of Robert the Monk, with “one accord,” the crusaders replied:
No one with any sense should be surprised at us coming to the Sepulchre of Our Lord as armed men and removing your people from these territories. Any of our people who came here with staff and scrip [unarmed pilgrims] were insulted with abominable behavior, suffered the ignominy of poor treatment and in extreme cases were killed.
Thirty years earlier, and as just one of countless examples, a German pilgrim wrote of what the Muslims did to a “noble abbess of graceful body and of a religious outlook” who undertook a pilgrimage to Jerusalem: “The pagans captured her, and in the sight of all, these shameless men raped her until she breathed her last, to the dishonor of all Christians. Christ's enemies performed such abuses and others like them on the Christians.”
Before the walls of Antioch, where the word “Christian” was first coined, the Crusaders continued by noting that the land “belonged to our people [Christians] originally and your people [Muslims] attacked and maliciously took it away from them, which means it cannot be yours no matter how long you have had it.” Accordingly, “payback will be exercised by Frankish swords on your necks!”
The modern reader may find such an approach extreme, certainly “medieval.” But for the proponents of Doormat Christianity, nothing less than total capitulation will ever do. To quote Karen Armstrong, a former nun turned advocate for Islam, “During the 12th Century, Christians were fighting brutal holy wars against Muslims, even though Jesus had told his followers to love their enemies, not to exterminate them.”
In short, Christianity makes ample room for Just War — even as those who seek to subvert justice argue otherwise.
