November 17, 2020 (American Thinker) — President Donald Trump left the glamorous world of celebrity, fame, and fortune in June 2015 on a mission, not for himself, but for the American people.
Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People. There is nothing the political establishment will not do, and no lie they will not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.
He knew that the path ahead would be lonely. Before his famous escalator ride at Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his candidacy, he prophetically warned his son Don Jr.:
The day of the announcement my father told me something that I would remember, again and again in the coming weeks and months. It would be one of the most accurate observations I would hear since my own immersion into politics. We got on the elevator and he turned to look at me and he said, “Now we find out who our real friends are.”
Trump has few real friends these days within the Washington, D.C. ruling class, aside from his inner circle. After as corrupt an election as one can imagine, many of his so-called friends are eager to stick a shiv in his ribs rather than defend him against a coup that makes Spygate looks like child's play.

Trump led in the crucial swing states on Election Night to a degree that if it were any other candidate or election, the media would have called it before midnight. Instead, the voting stopped at midnight, and votes were either fabricated for Joe Biden or magically switched from the Trump to Biden column, in only the states and in only the amounts to put Biden over the top so the DNC media could declare Biden the winner.
How convenient that just before Trump hit the magic number of 270, Fox News called Arizona for Biden, with other states on cue, stopping their vote counts, allowing the vote-rigging to begin, avoiding having to declare Trump the winner. It almost seems like a coordinated plan. Was it?
We are learning more by the day about corrupt voting machines and software, and a scheme, as Trump attorney Sidney Powell describes, “organized and conducted with the help of Silicon Valley people, the Big Tech companies, the social media and even the media companies.”
It was less than a year ago that Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Ron Wyden were concerned about these voting machines, yet today this is all “conspiracy theory.” Was there foreign interference in the election via corrupted voting machines? Were U.S. votes routed through servers in Spain and Germany? Election interference was of great interest to congressional Democrats during Trump's first term, yet they seem to have no interest in such interference today.
Where are the Republicans? Where are so-called conservatives? Where is the outrage? Where are Trump's friends? Does he have any these days?
How ironic that George W. Bush was quick to congratulate “president-elect” Joe Biden. Bush barely “won” his election in 2000, while his opponent Al Gore fought for 37 days before the U.S. Supreme Court forced his concession. Bush felt it reasonable to fight dimpled and hanging chads in one single state, yet he scoffs at Trump fighting multi-state fraud?
Failed former Republican primary candidate Chris Christie suggests that it may soon be time for Trump to “move on.” What a show of support. No wonder his candidacy failed.
Another loser, Mitt Romney, joined the chorus. I would not be a bit surprised if Romney had the 2012 election stolen from him in the same way as is happening to Trump today. Yet like most establishment Republicans, Romney prefers to give a “statesman-like” concession speech rather than soil his wingtips in a street fight to claim what is legitimately his. Interestingly, the Romney family has financial ties to voting machines.
World leaders have been quick to call and congratulate the assumed president-elect, the café-au-lait crowd happy to see the America-first president sent packing in exchange for another sap in the White House willing to pay the credit card bills of their freeloading nations. Trump is learning who is friends are.
There are a few exceptions. Leaders from Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Slovenia, and North Korea have not offered Biden their congratulations, prudently waiting to see how this plays out. Perhaps they know more about a recent U.S. raid on a voting machine server facility in Frankfurt, Germany that might reveal an international conspiracy to switch votes in our recent election. Perhaps, as in the case of Mexico's leader, they know the smell of a stolen election when they see it.
Most congressional Republicans lost their voices after the election, even those fair-weather friends who happily rode Trump's coattails to election or re-election. They see nothing suspicious or sinister in Republicans maintaining control of the Senate and gaining ten-plus seats in the House while the leader of their party supposedly lost re-election.
Members of Congress eager to investigate bogus claims of Trump colluding with Russia have no interest in probing electoral irregularity that defies statistics and common sense. How did states where Trump drew 50,000 to his rallies and Biden could not draw 50 to his events choose the unpopular dullard to lead the country?
Trump has 89 million Twitter followers compared to 19 million for Biden. But more people voted for Biden?
Then there is voter turnout higher than the number of registered voters, and in some areas, a slew of 120-year-old voters in some cities.
Where have Trump's friends been on Spygate? This was a fraudulent and illegal attempt to disrupt an election, transition, and presidency, and to date, there has been only a single plea deal for some mid-level no-name while the ringleaders are writing books and securing lucrative cable news gigs. The GOP establishment wants to “move on” from this scandal as well.
NeverTrumps, once apparently conservative Republicans, have made themselves irrelevant by becoming liberal Democrats. Fox News, once a “fair and balanced” alternative to the left-wing drumbeat of the remaining big media, is following the NeverTrump path into irrelevancy.
Trump thought he had friends at Fox News, giving frequent interviews and shout-outs, only to have them stick the first Election Night shiv between his ribs. Who will watch Fox now, as they are not at all different from any of the other far-left news outlets?

Novembe r17 , 2020 ( American Thinker ) — A few days ago , Sidney Powell said the Trump team would release the Kraken ( a mythical giant squid that shatters sailing ships ) against the election results that claim that Biden won .

Based on the details she imparted , the Biden dinghy ( for it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) is n't just going to take on water ; it 's going to a long deserved rendezvous with Davy Jones 's locker .
Powell , who has been working to save General Flynn from the morass his first attorneys , who were compromised , led him into , is now part of President Trump 's post-election team .
On Friday , she appeared on the Lou Dobbs show and memorably said , `` I 'm going to release the Kraken . ''
The problem is that we Trump-supporters have been hearing many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yes , there has been a lot of fraud shown : in myriad jurisdictions , people are testifying about absentee ballot dumps , banned poll-watchers , cemetery votes , etc .
But there 's always been the worry that these actions , while true , may not convince a judge ( or nine justices ) to overturn the election .
Then word started leaking out that statistics could prove that the enormous Biden surges after the polls shut down were statistical impossibilities .
American Thinker authors have written about some of those problems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them .
If you 're curious , you can find some examples here , here , here , here , and here , all of which are written in easy-to-understand English rather than statistician or programmer English .
Nevertheless , it was not entirely clear that the Trump team understood the immensity of what happened .
On Sunday morning , however , Sidney Powell appeared on Maria Bartiromo 's show and revealed that the Trump team understands exactly what happened .
The statistical analyses are right on the money , and Powell claims @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who committed election fraud and how they did it .
According to her , the evidence is ready to be shown before the certification date , and it may mandate an entirely new election — only one without fraud .
The culprits are Dominion Voting Systems , which makes election software , and Smartmatic , which makes the voting machines on which the software runs .

On Sunday, Powell spelled out what this Trump Kraken looks like — and she vouches for its existence.

lifesitenews--2020-11-17--Benedict XVI: In ‘new totalitarianism,’ opposing abortion means ‘social excommunication’

November 17 , 2020 ( Libero ) — Last May there was controversy over the anticipation of some statements made by Benedict XVI to Peter Seewald published in his biography that was about to be published in Germany .
This work has now been translated into Italian with the title Benedetto XVI .
Una vita ( Garzanti ) , and so we are now able to better understand the pope ’ s words .
The crucial question placed by Seewald to Ratzinger is this : The pope replies that this was not an allusion to the problems of the Vatican @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many thought .
Benedict XVI explains : The true threat for the Church , and thus for the Petrine service , does not come from this sort of episode : it comes instead from the universal dictatorship of apparently humanistic ideologies .
Anyone who contradicts this dictatorship is excluded from the basic consensus of society .
One hundred years ago , anyone would have thought it absurd to speak of homosexual matrimony .
Today those who oppose it are socially excommunicated .
The same holds true for abortion and the production of human @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intends to formulate an anti-Christian creed : whoever contests it is punished with social excommunication .
Being afraid of this spiritual power of the Antichrist is all too natural , and what is truly needed is that the prayers of entire dioceses and of the world Church come to the rescue to resist it .
The media have simplified everything superficially by sparking controversy over these examples .
But this is not the center of Benedict XVI ’ s reasoning , which has a very different inspiration .
He speaks of the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dictatorship of apparently humanistic ideologies.
” Here is the point .
That a man of great culture , profound spirituality , and recognized authority would speak of the “ threat ” of a “ universal dictatorship ” can not leave anyone indifferent .
One may object , but in fact this theme has already emerged in public debate .
Even secular intellectuals have shown themselves to be worried about the evident imposition of an “ aligned thought ” and even MicroMega [ an Italian news magazine ] has called out “ the new @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which has led to the rediscovery of censorship by ‘ progressives.
’ ” Not only this .
Authoritative thinkers — such as Giorgio Agamben — have sounded the alarm in recent months over “ the state of exception ” during “ the health emergency , ” but more generally over politics becoming bio-politics .
Even a secular intellectual who is on the other end of the spectrum from Ratzinger ’ s thought , like the Frenchman Michel Onfray , has published the book Teoria della dittatura [ The Theory of Dictatorship ] in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new type of totalitarianism.
” And so the theme exists [ in secular discourse outside the Church ] .
Ratzinger speaks of the “ dictatorship of apparently humanistic ideologies ” and adds that “ modern society intends to formulate an anti-Christian creed ” and that “ being afraid of this spiritual power of the Antichrist is all too natural.
” Here Benedict XVI ’ s reflection meets — for example — the thought of one of the greatest philosophers of our time : René Girard .
Girard effectively uses the same categories @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cadere come la folgore [ I See Satan Falling Like Lightning ] ( Adelphi ) to reflect on the present situation .
He too identifies “ the new totalitarianism.
” Girard explains that Christianity introduced “ pity for victims ” into the world .
Today there is humanitarianism ( Ratzinger ’ s “ apparently humanistic ideologies ” ) that makes this sensitivity its own , but does so against Christianity : “ the strongest anti-Christian movement is the one that makes concern for victim its own and ‘ radicalizes ’ it in order @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The new totalitarianism presents itself as the liberator of humanity.
” Just like Ratzinger , Girard too invokes the New Testament figure of the Antichrist — that is , the one who “ imitates Christ in an ever better way and even claims to surpass him.
” The entire twentieth century was filled with literary figures of the Antichrist — from Vladimir Soloviev ’ s A Story of Antichrist to Robert Hugh Benson ’ s Lord of the World — as a great humanitarian and philanthropist , a “ usurping imitation ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fresco by Luca Signorelli [ of the Deeds of the Antichrist in the Orvieto Cathedral ] .
“ The Antichrist , ” writes Girard , “ boasts of bringing people peace and tolerance , ” while in fact “ he brings with him the effective return to all sorts of pagan practices ” ( Girard , like Ratzinger cites abortion and other modern situations ) .
In practice , Girard shares Ratzinger ’ s alarm at an anti-Christian modernity that both of them do not hesitate to juxtapose with the apocalyptic figure of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the Antichrist and modernity have also been made by Mario Tronti and Massimo Cacciari in various interventions in the book Il potere che frena [ The Power That Restrains ] ( Adelphi ) .
This book refers to another question made by Seewald to the pope .
Seewald explains that Agamben says that “ he is convinced that the real reason for your resignation [ from the papacy ] was the will to awaken the eschatological conscience .
In the divine plan of salvation the Church would also have the function of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Church of the Antichrist.
’ The resignation would then be a prefiguration of the separation between ‘ Babylon ’ and ‘ Jerusalem ’ in the Church.
” Agamben was referring to an old essay by Ratzinger on Tychonius .
The pope emeritus does not respond directly , but recalls with Augustine that “ many are part of the Church in an only apparent way , while in reality they live against her , ” while “ outside the Church there are many who — without knowing it — belong profoundly to the Lord @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Church.
” Then he adds : “ We know that there are moments in history in which the victory of God over the forces of evil is visible in a comforting way , and other moments in which the forces of evil obscure everything.
” This article was first published in Libero on November 15 , 2020 .

PETITION UPDATE (3/15/21) -
Reports suggest that the U.S. Catholic Bishops' Conference (USCCB) is preparing a vote on what to do about pro-abortion Joe Biden (and, presumably, other abortion-promoting politicians) who continues to present himself (themselves) for Holy Communion.
Public excommunication would be a suitable response for Biden's obstinate, public and grave sin of scandalously promoting abortion.
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this important petition.
__________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (2/4/20)
Since Joe Biden was sworn-in on the 20th of January, he has wasted no time in signing Executive Orders to destroy the protections which former President Trump offered to the unborn and to the innocence and modesty of children of the United States.
In one executive order, Biden rescinded the Mexico City Policy prohibiting the federal government from spending taxpayer monies on abortion and the promotion of abortion.
And, in another executive order, Biden seeks to force girls' athletic programs, restrooms, and locker rooms to accept gender-confused males.
Since the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was shamefully silent throughout the presidential campaign on the pre-eminent issues of abortion and gender ideology, and what Biden vowed he would do as president, it is cold comfort that their pro-life office is now speaking up about this Administration's wilful disregard for human life and for God's design of human nature (i.e., two biological sexes).
Stated plainly, Joe Biden is as bad as he said he would be, and the bishop, acting in unison (as the USCCB) have an obligation to the Lord (first) and to the faithful (second) to refuse Holy Communion to this grave public sinner.
With all due respect to these bishops, they diminish the Holy Eucharist and their high office, as well as cause grave scandal to the faithful, by dialoguing with a man who is promoting mass murder of the unborn against the constant teaching of the Church.
A man who continues to use the church as a backdrop for statements about how "Catholic/religious" he is, but, at the same time, is now doing everything in his power to protect the murder of the innocent, needs to publicly repent before dialogue can begin.
The bishops should not dialogue with or congratulate someone who has publicly betrayed the Church's teaching and who is leading others astray.
It's an embarrassment and a scandal for the bishops to continue to allow him to receive Holy Communion.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition today!
________________________________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20)
Prior to the election on November 3, the U.S. bishops did not address Joe Biden’s anti-Catholic position regarding faith and morals as a unified body.
The USCCB, the organization to which every U.S. bishop belongs and which is staffed and led by bishops, remained disgracefully silent in the run-up to the election.
What were the bishops afraid of, losing their charitable tax status with the IRS, or being deprived of fat checks from the HHS (immigration programs) and USAID (foreign aid programs)?
Or, were they just too cowardly to clearly declare Christ's law to be above man's law and risk the ire of a Joe Biden as president?
Either way, the bishops’ lack of clarity in this regard is a terrible scandal in itself and probably greatly contributed to the possible election of a pro-abortion, anti-Catholic Catholic to the presidency.
Given the fact that exit polling shows Catholics split their vote 50-50 for Trump and Biden, even a slight deviation in the heavily-Catholic swing-states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania could have produced different results.
The bishops could have spoken out against Biden’s pro-abortion stance collectively, but, again, they were overwhelmingly and shamefully silent.
Because of this, they will be at least partly responsible for the policies advanced by a Biden administration, in the event that Biden is sworn into office.
However, the bishops can, even now, mitigate the damage done by their inaction by taking the following steps: 1) Speak with one voice, as the USCCB, and plainly condemn Biden's pro-abortion stance; 2) Publicly advise Biden not to present himself for Holy Communion because of his scandalous position on abortion and homosexual "marriage;" and, 3) Tell Biden to publicly repent of publicly promoting the wilfull murder of the preborn, sins against nature, and diminishing the natural family.
Thankfully, some individual bishops have spoken out forcefully on Biden's scandalous behavior, and his standing in the Church.
On November 9, Archbishop Strickland of Tyler, Texas tweeted: “A dark cloud has descended on this nation when the USCCB and Planned Parenthood speak in unison in support of a Biden-Harris administration that supports the slaughter of innocents by abortion for all 9 months of pregnancy.”
Additionally, Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, Colorado and Archbishop Charles Chaput have both declared publicly that Joe Biden “should not receive Holy Communion."
But, to add insult to injury, Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C. has said that he will give Holy Communion to Biden because “it’s a matter of the responsibility that I have as the archbishop to be engaged and to be in dialogue with him, even in those areas where we obviously have some differences.”
And, Bishop W. Francis Malooly of Wilmington, Delaware and Bishop McElroy of San Diego also congratulated Biden in statements, but they have not indicated whether or not they would administer Holy Communion to him.
With all due respect to these bishops, they diminish the Holy Eucharist and their high office, as well as cause grave scandal to the faithful, by dialoguing with a man who is promoting mass murder of the unborn against the constant teaching of the Church.
A man who uses the church as a backdrop to make sickening political advertisements about how "Catholic/religious" he is, but, at the same time, says that he will do everything in his power to protect the murder of the innocent, needs to publicly repent before dialogue can begin.
The bishops should not dialogue with or congratulate someone who has publicly betrayed the Church's teaching and who is leading others astray.
It's an embarrassment and a scandal for the bishops to continue to allow him to receive Holy Communion.

PETITION UPDATE (9/29/20)
Cardinal Raymond Burke has stated that Democratic candidate Joe Biden should not receive Holy Communion because of his support for abortion.
In an interview for Thomas McKenna's Catholic Action for Faith and Family podcast, Cardinal Burke states the following (starting around 5:00):
First of all, I would tell him [Biden] not to approach to receive Holy Communion, out of charity toward him, because that would be a sacrilege and endanger the salvation of his own soul.
But, also, he should not approach to receive Holy Communion because he gives scandal to everyone, because if someone says, 'I'm a devout Catholic," and, at the same time is promoting abortion, it gives the impression to others that it's acceptable for a Catholic to be in favor of abortion.
Of course, it's absolutely not acceptable, and never has been, and never will be.
We give thanks for Cardinal Burke's frankness and clarity. And, we call on every U.S. Catholic bishop to follow Cardinal Burke's lead and call out Joe Biden for his bloody-minded hypocrisy on the issue of abortion.
To reiterate: You cannot be a Catholic and support abortion.
Thank you for continuing to sign this urgent petition.
___________________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (8/17/20)
The Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, keeps claiming to be Catholic but has said he will do everything in his power to support abortion.
And, with his pick of California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, Biden has just cemented abortion into the Democrats' 2020 presidential ticket.
Indeed, Harris is vehemently pro-abortion.
During her time as attorney general of California, Harris played a key role in defending Planned Parenthood over its sale of aborted baby parts (which violated multiple federal laws, according to undercover video of abortion industry personnel).
And, last year, Harris unveiled a plan to essentially force pro-life states to seek permission from the federal government before pro-life laws can take effect.
Additionally, Harris has dangerous views on religious liberty and freedom of speech.
Harris displayed anti-Catholic bigotry in the confirmation hearings of Judge Brian Buescher. Harris cited his membership in the “all-male society” the Knights of Columbus and its stances against abortion and same-sex “marriage” as grounds for rejecting Buescher for a federal district court in Nebraska.
And, David Daleiden, head of the pro-life investigative group Center for Medical Progress, wrote that from his firsthand experience, he considers Harris the “greatest threat to First Amendment civil rights our country has ever seen.”
Joe Biden has seriously erred by taking on Kamala Harris as his running mate, further distancing himself from the truths of the Catholic Faith, especially that every life is sacred from conception till natural death.

And, please continue to SIGN and SHARE this petition.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Of course, these two things are incompatible: you cannot be Catholic and pro-abortion.
And, a "Catholic" politician's responsibility in this regard is absolute: On pain of serious sin, he or she can never promote abortion because abortion is the wilful murder of innocent preborn human beings, and also because doing so causes grave scandal to the Church and the faithful.
Please SIGN this urgent petition asking the bishops of the United States to refuse to give Holy Communion to Joe Biden until he publicly repents from his scandalous promotion of abortion.
Biden recently promised to “codify Roe v. Wade” as president, adding, "my Justice Department will do everything in its power to stop the rash of state laws that so blatantly violate a woman’s protected, constitutional right to choose."
And, since starting his latest run for the presidency, Biden also flip-flopped against the Hyde Amendment, saying that he would allow federal funds to be spent on abortion - a position he claimed to be against for more than 40 years.
In short, Joe Biden will do everything in his power to enable and defend the wilful murder of innocent preborn human beings.
So, this should not be a hard decision for our U.S. bishops. In fact, in another circumstance, it was already done by an Illinois bishop.
Indeed, Bishop Paprocki, of Springfield, Illinois, invoked Canon 915 of the Code of Canon Law to withdraw Holy Communion from two Illinois state politicians who had worked to enact radical new abortion legislation in 2019.
Canon 915 states: "Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."
Of course, no-one, least of all the bishops, wants anyone to be deprived of Holy Communion.
A politician who publicly and obstinately advocates for the murder of innocent preborn babies puts himself out-of-communion with the Church and her teaching.
Pro-abortion politicians should not think that they can advocate for the murder of the unborn and receive the Body of Christ at the same time. This would be to defile the Eucharist while giving scandal to the faithful.
Depriving politicians of Holy Communion is not just meant to prevent scandal; it is also designed to bring a grave public sinner to repentance. In this way, such an action is meant to be for the good of their souls, too.
Thank you for SIGNING this urgent petition which calls on the U.S. Catholic bishops to refuse to admit Joe Biden to Holy Communion until he publicly repents from his scandalous promotion of abortion.

WASHINGTON D.C. , November 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — In a recent interview with CBS , former president Barack Obama heavily criticized President Trump , comparing him to a child for not conceding the election and calling for a collaboration between the media and Big Tech to “ inform the public better.
” Speaking to CBS program 60 Minutes , Obama answered questions concerning the election , voter fraud , and George Floyd in an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upon President Trump and his current contesting of the pre-emptively called election .
Scott Pelley , who conducted the interview , asked Obama what his advice would be for Trump .
Obama answered : “ When your time is up , then it is your job to put the country first and think beyond your own ego , and your own interests , and your own disappointments.
” Continuing , Obama referred to Trump : “ I think it was time for him to concede , probably , the day after the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the election .
When you look at the numbers objectively , Joe Biden will have won handily .
There is no scenario in which any of those states would turn the other way , and certainly not enough to reverse the outcome of the election.
” Meanwhile , evidence is emerging suggesting that voter fraud has in fact occurred in a widespread manner , particularly in crucial swing states .
The former president then suggested that Trump ’ s refusal to concede the election was actually a threat to national security : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , not just as a consequence of this election , but over the last several years.
” Obama also attacked Trump ’ s presidency over the last four years , claiming that Trump had “ disregarded a whole host of basic institutional norms ” and accusing him of promoting the view that “ not only do we not have to tell the truth , but the truth doesn ’ t even matter.
” “ I think that there has been this sense over the last several years that literally anything goes and is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” claimed Obama .
The allegation led to Obama dealing with the subject of voter fraud , which Pelley prefaced with the description “ false claims of widespread election fraud.
” Obama suggested that Trump “ doesn ’ t like to lose and–never admits loss , ” and that any Republicans supporting the President after the election were simply “ humoring him in this fashion.
” Trump ’ s contesting the media-called election results is even “ delegitimizing not just the incoming Biden administration , but democracy generally , ” according to Obama @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a disobedient child : “ We would never accept that out of our own kids behaving that way if they lost , right ?
I mean , if my daughters , in any kinda competition , pouted and — and then accused the other side of cheating when they lost , when there was no evidence of it , we ’ d scold ’ em.
” The former president also made derogatory inferences toward Trump , referring to “ strongmen and dictators.
” Obama said : “ There are strongmen and dictators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I can do anything to stay in power .
I can kill people .
I can throw them in jail .
I can run phony elections .
I can suppress journalists.
’ But that ’ s not who we ’ re supposed to be.
” While Obama inferred that Trump was holding a “ phony election , ” evidence has pointed to voter fraud being committed in favor of the Democrats , with Democrats advocating for policies that would assist their election goals .
Commenting on the role of the media in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to play a role in a new manner of informing citizens and insisted that “ democracy doesn ’ t work ” unless citizens are informed .
A collusion of “ media and with the tech companies ” is necessary , according to Obama , “ to inform the public better about the issues and to — bolster the standards that ensure we can separate truth from fiction.
” Obama blamed traditional media and social media for dividing the nation : “ The voters are divided [ . ]
...
The media landscape has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters ’ perceptions have changed.
” Obama mentioned political partisanship and then grouped Trump and social media together as being responsible for the political situation , although did not hold them wholly responsible : “ I am somebody who does not blame the current partisanship solely on Donald Trump or solely on social media.
” Pelley also noted that in criticizing Trump in this manner , Obama is doing something new .
Regarding his previous silence , the interviewer stated that “ [ m ] any Americans , Mr. President , believe you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How Trump will expose and stop biggest election heist in world history .
Help stop voter fraud : The Trump Campaign has created “ Defend Your Ballot ” to report election issues .
Report fraud here or call 888-630-1776 .
Project Veritas is also accepting voter fraud tips here .
The FBI says to report suspected instances of voter suppression/fraud to your local FBI field office or at tips.fbi.gov .

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!

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In the latest Big Tech hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee , Facebook and Twitter CEOs were grilled by Republican senators for cooperating in censoring accounts and accessing private information without people ’ s knowledge .
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared via video link before the Judiciary Committee , as senators had the opportunity to question the two about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chair , Sen. Lindsey Graham , R-South Carolina , opened by stating , “ There ’ s Republican and Democrat concern about the power that ’ s being used by social media outlets to tell us what we can see and what we can ’ t : what ’ s true and what ’ s not.

” “ Your answer is always , ‘ once we silence you , we can choose to allow you to speak , ’ ” declared Cruz .

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – On Tuesday , American Principles Project and its affiliated American Principles Project PAC filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission ( FEC ) against Facebook , Inc .
The complaint alleges that Facebook ’ s censorship of an APP PAC ad focusing on Sen. Gary Peters ’ ( D-Mich. ) and Joe Biden ’ s support for legislation undermining women ’ s sports amounted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Democrats ’ campaigns .
Earlier today , during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Big Tech and elections , Sen. Mike Lee ( R-Utah ) questioned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over his company ’ s censorship of APP PAC ’ s ad .
“ Facebook censored several APP PAC ads this election cycle , ” explained Terry Schilling , executive director of American Principles Project .
“ The basis for this FEC complaint focuses on the first , which attacked Gary Peters and Joe Biden for their support for the Equality @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s sports if it were passed into law.
” He continued , “ By censoring this ad on such a flimsy basis , and by allowing ads in favor of Democrats to run unfettered on its platform , Facebook materially contributed to the campaigns of Peters and Biden .
Our complaint alleges that this in-kind contribution amounted to nearly $ 50,000 — a clear violation of federal campaign finance law.
” Schilling added , “ We urge the FEC to consider APP PAC ’ s complaint and launch an investigation as soon as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Senate to confirm President Trump ’ s FEC appointees to ensure a quorum so the agency could adjudicate potential violations of campaign finance law .
The FEC has been unable to function for the majority of 2020 .

Twitter just deplatformed President Trump premanently! And, other conservatives, including General Flynn and Sidney Powell, were also deplatformed.
Conservatives, Christians and freedom-loving Americans of all political persuasions must now take a decision to preserve their free speech AND their ability to peaceably assemble by dumping Twitter and Big Tech, and by finding other good alternatives to communicate with each other and share their opinions.
Please SIGN our petition-pledge to Dump Twitter and Big Tech, and take back your freedom of speech and privacy. [CLICK HERE for our "Goodbye Google" resources page to find good alternatives to Google!]
When you use Twitter or Facebook to communicate, or Google to search for something online, these companies can stifle your ability to share your thoughts and opinions and manipulate your search results, threatening your privacy, your freedom of speech, and even our democracy.
Evidence suggests that Twitter and Facebook's 'community guidelines' are selectively enforced against conservatives and Christians, while Google rigs their search algorithms to direct traffic away from conservative and Christian websites, effectively choking traffic to those sites.
Simply put, Twitter, Facebook and Google (who owns YouTube) appear to be actively suppressing access to pro-freedom, pro-family and pro-life news and opinion.
Don't contribute to this assault on democracy: Stop using Twitter, Facebook and Google as your default social media platforms and search engine! [CLICK HERE to find a good alternative to Google.]
To repeat: a few liberal and completely unaccountable computer programmers in Silicon Valley are dictating what we do and do not see in our Twitter and Facebook feeds, and in our Google searches.
We, here, at LifeSite, also recently had our Twitter account suspended by the company over "misgendering" a man who claims to be a woman.
LifeSite has also experienced a fall-off in Google search-related traffic since the company updated its search algorithms at the beginning of May.
And, since the November election, Twitter and Big Tech appear to have dramatically INCREASED their censorship of conservatives and Christians as the President Trump disputed the results of the election and when evidence of election fraud began to mount.
Now, it seems likely that they are trying to cut-off conservative leaders (like President Trump) from conservatives on the ground, and effectively exclude us from the national conversation.
But, this tactic will not work. Because Twitter, Facebook and Google are not the only game in town! There are a good number of excellent alternatives which we list in our 'Goodbye Google' Resources page.
The great irony is that, while Twitter, Facebook and Google executives talk a lot about maintaining freedom of speech and diversity, in fact, these hypocrites are ATTACKING free speech point-blank!
This kind of manipulation poses a lethal threat to our democracy, but as we see so clearly now, Twitter and Big Tech have shown no hesitation in excluding conservatives and Christians from the public square.
So, at this point, the only way to stop Twitter, Facebook and Google is to quit using their platform.

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Fox News host Tucker Carlson addressed allegations of election fraud and the “ Great Reset ” during his popular show last night .
In his opening monologue , Carlson pointed to the renewed suppression of personal liberties in the United States and , noting that masks and lockdowns have not stopped a “ spike in coronavirus infections ” , presented Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What is going on ?
” the pundit asked , and continued : Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has some idea .
Viganò is one of the truth-tellers in his church .
He made himself deeply unpopular with many in the hierarchy several years ago by exposing their complicity in decades of sex abuse .
Viganò is 79 years old and in the way that older people stop caring what others think , he really doesn ’ t care .
So instead , he says what he thinks is true .
A few @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to President Donald Trump assessing the lockdowns from a perspective you almost never hear in this country .
“ No one , up until last February , ” Viganò wrote , “ would ever have thought that , in all of our cities , citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street , to breathe , to want to keep their businesses open , to want to go to church on Sunday .
Yet now it is happening all over the world … The fundamental rights of citizens and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman , faceless tyranny.
” Carlson said that his viewers might not have heard about Viganò ’ s letter because the “ news media did their best to suppress and discredit ” it .
( LifeSiteNews published the archbishop ’ s letter immediately here . )
But Carlson believes that the archbishop should be taken seriously .
“ [ W ] hat Viganò wrote is actually true , ” Carlson said .
“ It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is factually accurate.
” The host then played a video of Canada ’ s Prime Minister , Justin Trudeau , speaking to the United Nations .
Trudeau actually stated that the pandemic had given leaders a chance for “ a reset.
” “ This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset , ” Trudeau said .
“ This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty , inequality and climate change.
” Carlson suggested that what Trudeau was saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people from “ a virus with a 99 % survival rate , ” but to bypass democracy to impose untested theories : The host underscored that a “ head of state ” had declared that “ the pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset , ” and that the founder of the World Economic Forum , Klaus Schwab , has written a book called COVID-19 : The Great Reset .
“ The book isn ’ t really about science or medicine .
No , instead , it describes ‘ what changes will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , resilient and sustainable world going forward.
’ ” Carlson contrasted the way leaders are talking about the coronavirus pandemic now with the way they were talking about it in mid-March .
At the time , leaders like Gavin Newsom , the Democratic governor of California , predicted that huge numbers of people — 56 % of people in his state , which is more than 25 million — would become infected , and talked about short lockdowns .
But the reality is quite different .
“ As of November 15 , about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ California has been infected , ” Carlson said .
“ That 's roughly 20 million fewer people than Gavin Newsom predicted to be infected by May .
So , in some ways , that looks like a victory .
Can we declare victory ?
No , just the opposite.
” “ Monday , Newsom announced that more lockdowns are underway , ” he continued .
“ Right now , 41 counties in our biggest state are under the most restrictive form of lockdown .
Churches , gyms , and restaurants can not conduct @ @ @ @ @ @ @ didn ’ t stop Newsom from dining out with a dozen people at a fancy restaurant , however .
“ What does the Great Reset look like ?
” Carlson asked .
“ This is what it looks like : The people in charge doing whatever they want because they ’ re in charge .
No principle is universal .
No standard is evenly applied.
” The Fox News host called the situation a “ weird and yet weirdly recognizable combination of hypocrisy and authoritarianism.
” However , he held out a message @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the situation will end .
“ In his letter last month to the president , Archbishop Viganò wrote this and it ’ s worth hearing : ‘ This Great Reset is designed to fail because those who planned it do not understand that there are still people ready to take to the streets to defend their rights , to protect their loved ones , to give a future to their children and their grandchildren.
’ ” The top-rated pundit also discussed allegations of fraud in the elections , concentrating on concerns about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump campaign have stated that there is evidence the machines actually changed votes .
“ People have legitimate concerns about the integrity of our elections , and right now a lot of those concerns center on the software that many states use to keep track of ballots , ” Carlson said .
“ Several Trump campaign attorneys , prominently Sidney Powell , say they have evidence that certain voting software was rigged and that millions of ballots were changed from Donald Trump to Joe Biden , ” he continued .
“ That is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not dismiss it out of hand .
We ’ re dealing here , on the Left , with people who support third trimester abortions and BLM riots.
” The host suggested that , having no limits , these people are capable of anything .
However , he also clarified that he had not yet seen the evidence .
Carlson pointed out that “ legitimate claims of fraud ” will have to be proven by the deadline of November 23 , when Pennsylvania must certify the election results .
Currently , however , Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that fraud may have happened .
Carlson finds this strange , for even before the 2016 elections , Democrat leaders have worried very publicly about the vulnerability of voting software to manipulation .
“ The Democrats had been warning about electronic election fraud for a long time , long before Donald Trump showed up , ” Carlson said .
“ In 2014 , for example , left-wing outlet Vox tweeted that 68 % of Americans think elections are rigged.
” “ Ron Klain , who is apparently is set to become the Chief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that .
‘ That ’ s because they are , ’ Klain replied [ to the tweet ] .
” Carlson reflected that it was fair to ask “ if Klain had a point.
” The host also drew attention to the fact that the votes of some American states had still not been counted days , even weeks , after election day , whereas countries like Brazil managed to count all their votes in 24 hours .

Catholic Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has some idea. Viganò is one of the truth-tellers in his church. He made himself deeply unpopular with many in the hierarchy several years ago by exposing their complicity in decades of sex abuse. Viganò is 79 years old and in the way that older people stop caring what others think, he really doesn’t care. So instead, he says what he thinks is true. A few weeks ago, he wrote a letter to President Donald Trump assessing the lockdowns from a perspective you almost never hear in this country. “No one, up until last February,” Viganò wrote, “would ever have thought that, in all of our cities, citizens would be arrested simply for wanting to walk down the street, to breathe, to want to keep their businesses open, to want to go to church on Sunday. Yet now it is happening all over the world … The fundamental rights of citizens and believers are being denied in the name of a health emergency that is revealing itself more and more fully as instrumental to the establishment of an inhuman, faceless tyranny.”
Carlson said that his viewers might not have heard about Viganò’s letter because the “news media did their best to suppress and discredit” it. (LifeSiteNews published the archbishop’s letter immediately here.) But Carlson believes that the archbishop should be taken seriously.
“[W]hat Viganò wrote is actually true,” Carlson said. “It’s not a conspiracy theory; it is factually accurate.”

“This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset,” Trudeau said. “This is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change.”
Carlson suggested that what Trudeau was saying was not that leaders wanted to save people from “a virus with a 99% survival rate,” but to bypass democracy to impose untested theories:
Oh. “This is our chance,” says Justin Trudeau. Not our chance to save you from a virus with a 99% survival rate. You’ll almost certainly be fine, and they’re aware of that. This is our chance to impose unprecedented social controls on the population in order to bypass democracy and change everything to conform with their weird academic theories that have never been tested in the real world and, by the way, don’t actually make sense. This is their chance.
The host underscored that a “head of state” had declared that “the pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset,” and that the founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, has written a book called COVID-19: The Great Reset.
“The book isn’t really about science or medicine. No, instead, it describes ‘what changes will be needed to create a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world going forward.’”
Carlson contrasted the way leaders are talking about the coronavirus pandemic now with the way they were talking about it in mid-March. At the time, leaders like Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, predicted that huge numbers of people — 56% of people in his state, which is more than 25 million — would become infected, and talked about short lockdowns.
But the reality is quite different. “As of November 15, about 2.6% of the total population of California has been infected,” Carlson said. “That's roughly 20 million fewer people than Gavin Newsom predicted to be infected by May. So, in some ways, that looks like a victory. Can we declare victory? No, just the opposite.”
“Monday, Newsom announced that more lockdowns are underway,” he continued. “Right now, 41 counties in our biggest state are under the most restrictive form of lockdown. Churches, gyms, and restaurants cannot conduct any kind of indoor operations.”
That didn’t stop Newsom from dining out with a dozen people at a fancy restaurant, however.
“What does the Great Reset look like?” Carlson asked. “This is what it looks like: The people in charge doing whatever they want because they’re in charge. No principle is universal. No standard is evenly applied.”
The Fox News host called the situation a “weird and yet weirdly recognizable combination of hypocrisy and authoritarianism.” However, he held out a message of hope delivered by Archbishop Viganò that the situation will end.
“In his letter last month to the president, Archbishop Viganò wrote this and it’s worth hearing: ‘This Great Reset is designed to fail because those who planned it do not understand that there are still people ready to take to the streets to defend their rights, to protect their loved ones, to give a future to their children and their grandchildren.’”
“Let's hope that's true,” Carlson commented.
Allegations of election fraud
The top-rated pundit also discussed allegations of fraud in the elections, concentrating on concerns about the Dominion voting software. Lawyers from the Trump campaign have stated that there is evidence the machines actually changed votes.
“People have legitimate concerns about the integrity of our elections, and right now a lot of those concerns center on the software that many states use to keep track of ballots,” Carlson said.
“Several Trump campaign attorneys, prominently Sidney Powell, say they have evidence that certain voting software was rigged and that millions of ballots were changed from Donald Trump to Joe Biden,” he continued.
“That is a shocking claim, but we do not dismiss it out of hand. We’re dealing here, on the Left, with people who support third trimester abortions and BLM riots.”
The host suggested that, having no limits, these people are capable of anything. However, he also clarified that he had not yet seen the evidence.
Carlson pointed out that “legitimate claims of fraud” will have to be proven by the deadline of November 23, when Pennsylvania must certify the election results. Currently, however, Democrat leaders seem very resistant to the idea that fraud may have happened. Carlson finds this strange, for even before the 2016 elections, Democrat leaders have worried very publicly about the vulnerability of voting software to manipulation.
“The Democrats had been warning about electronic election fraud for a long time, long before Donald Trump showed up,” Carlson said. “In 2014, for example, left-wing outlet Vox tweeted that 68% of Americans think elections are rigged.”
“Ron Klain, who is apparently is set to become the Chief of Staff for Joe Biden agreed with that. ‘That’s because they are,’ Klain replied [to the tweet].”
Carlson reflected that it was fair to ask “if Klain had a point.”
The host also drew attention to the fact that the votes of some American states had still not been counted days, even weeks, after election day, whereas countries like Brazil managed to count all their votes in 24 hours. “What’s wrong with us?” he asked.

HBO actress apologizes, pulls support of sex trafficking charity whose founder made ‘anti-abortion’ comments

November 17 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Actress Melissa McCarthy has apologized for supporting an anti-sex trafficking organization because of past “ anti-abortion ” and “ anti-LGBTQ ” comments made by the organization ’ s founder .
McCarthy , her husband director Ben Falcone , and HBO Max launched a “ 20 Days of Kindness ” campaign on behalf of their new film , Superintelligence , in which they donate $ 20,000 daily to a different charity for 20 days .
One of those charities was Exodus Cry , which People magazine described as “ an evangelical organization that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the past.
” “ We made a mistake and we backed a charity that upon proper vetting stands for everything that we do not , ” McCarthy wrote on Instagram .
In a separate statement to The Wrap , HBO Max also apologized for supporting the charity .
“ We were made aware of the issues surrounding Exodus Cry and have removed then from the list of partners associated with the 20 Days of Kindness campaign.
” Vanity Fair quoted the organization ’ s founder , Benjamin Nolot , who tweeted in 2013 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ God ’ s mercy over America as more and more light is being shed about the modern-day holocaust of abortion , ” and “ I oppose homosexual marriage on the premise that it is an unspeakable offense to God and His design for marriage between a man and a woman.
” Exodus Cry ’ s website states that they are a group “ that exists to combat sex trafficking and all forms of commercial sexual exploitation both domestically and internationally.
” While acknowledging that Nolot “ has expressed his personal views that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the womb , ” the charity admits that they have “ never taken any position on those issues , ” and that they “ partner with , and are inclusive of , organizations that are both for and against abortion.
” Nolot ’ s position on same-sex “ marriage , ” however , has “ changed and evolved over the last ten years.
” “ I love , respect and advocate for the right of all people to be free from all forms of oppression .
Without question that includes the LGBTQ community.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as one of their partners .
But “ 20 Days of Kindness ” campaign ’ s website indicates it has donated to America ’ s largest abortion chain , Planned Parenthood , and radically pro-LGBT groups .
Those include Girls Who Code , which is “ building the world ’ s largest pipeline of future female engineers ” by “ reaching girls around the world and are on track to close the gender gap in new entry-level tech jobs by 2027.
” However , the group also “ welcomes into our community and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of assignment at birth .
Our programs also welcome people who identify as non-binary or gender nonconforming and want to be in a female-identified environment.
” 20 Days of Kindness also supports the Human Rights Campaign , one of America ’ s most well-funded and powerful homosexual lobby groups and the Trevor Project , which under the guise of preventing suicide lobbies for bills banning talk therapy that helps people overcome unwanted sexual attractions .
Planned Parenthood aborts over 300,000 children every year in the U.S. Exodus Cry created the documentary Nefarious : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ started a campaign called Traffickinghub that seeks to “ shut down Pornhub for aiding trafficking ” and includes an online petition .
McCarthy , who was adamant about distancing herself from Exodus Cry on her Instagram post , complimented the other 19 charities for the “ amazing things ” that they were doing and said , “ Let the kindness continue .
”
