newspunch--2020-09-28--Nasty Nancy Prepares Dem-Controlled House to Vote to Elect Next POTUS

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has officially declared that the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives could decide this year ’ s presidential election – and has urged Democrats to focus on winning races that could decide the outcome .
The House could dictate the results of the election of no candidate achieves a majority in the Electoral College .
It seems almost certain that neither party will accept a close result in the presidential election on November 3 .
And given the likely delays due to vote-by-mail , recounts , and legal challenges , it is possible neither President Donald Trump nor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an Electoral College majority by December 14 , when the Electors cast their votes .
The election will then be decided by the House of Representatives , as indicated by the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution .
( It has happened before , in 1800 and 1824 . )
The 12th Amendment states that “ if no person have such majority [ in the Electoral College ] , then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President , the House of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the President.
” The word “ immediately ” means that the current Congress would choose .
That , in turn , would seem to mean Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ( D-CA ) and the majority Democrats would prevail , and pick Biden .
Not so fast : The 12th Amendment goes further .
“ But in choosing the President , ” it says , “ the votes shall be taken by states , the representation from each state having one vote ” [ emphasis added ] .
While there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 50 votes .
And a current tally of representatives in each state shows that there are more Republican-majority delegations than Democrat-majority delegations .
Republicans control 26 delegations ; Democrats dominate 22 ; Pennsylvania is tied and Democrats have a 7-6 Michigan plurality .
Pelosi has done the math , and expects the new Congress to handle the presidential election — if it comes to that .
Therefore , she has told Democrats to focus their resources on winning in states where Republicans only control a slim majority of seats .
Pelosi , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ urged them to consider whether the House might be pulled into deciding who is president when determining where to focus resources on winning seats in November .
This could lead to more concerted efforts by Democrats to win in states such as Montana and Alaska — typically Republican turf but where Democrats have been competitive statewide .
In these states , Democratic victories could flip an entire delegation with a single upset House victory .
“ The Constitution says that a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegations to win , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ achieve that majority of delegations or keep the Republicans from doing so.
” Trump also alluded to a possible House vote in a speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday .
The odd math of a possible House of Representatives vote to elect the president means that states like Alaska are in play .

Breitbart.com reports: As Breitbart News explained three weeks ago, in “How Pelosi’s House of Representatives Could Re-elect Trump“: JOIN THE FIGHT: BECOME A CITIZEN JOURNALIST TODAY!
It seems almost certain that neither party will accept a close result in the presidential election on November 3. And given the likely delays due to vote-by-mail, recounts, and legal challenges, it is possible neither President Donald Trump nor former Vice President Joe Biden will have an Electoral College majority by December 14, when the Electors cast their votes. The election will then be decided by the House of Representatives, as indicated by the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (It has happened before, in 1800 and 1824.) The 12th Amendment states that “if no person have such majority [in the Electoral College], then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.” The word “immediately” means that the current Congress would choose. That, in turn, would seem to mean Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the majority Democrats would prevail, and pick Biden. Not so fast: The 12th Amendment goes further. “But in choosing the President,” it says, “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote” [emphasis added]. While there are 435 representatives, there will only be 50 votes. And a current tally of representatives in each state shows that there are more Republican-majority delegations than Democrat-majority delegations. Republicans control 26 delegations; Democrats dominate 22; Pennsylvania is tied and Democrats have a 7-6 Michigan plurality.
Pelosi has done the math, and expects the new Congress to handle the presidential election — if it comes to that.
Therefore, she has told Democrats to focus their resources on winning in states where Republicans only control a slim majority of seats.
As Politico reported Sunday:
Pelosi, in a Sunday letter to House Democrats, urged them to consider whether the House might be pulled into deciding who is president when determining where to focus resources on winning seats in November. This could lead to more concerted efforts by Democrats to win in states such as Montana and Alaska — typically Republican turf but where Democrats have been competitive statewide. In these states, Democratic victories could flip an entire delegation with a single upset House victory. “The Constitution says that a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegations to win,” Pelosi wrote. “We must achieve that majority of delegations or keep the Republicans from doing so.”
Trump also alluded to a possible House vote in a speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The odd math of a possible House of Representatives vote to elect the president means that states like Alaska are in play.
Politico listed the most narrowly divided states:
Democrats hold a one- or two-vote seat edge in seven states that are expected to feature at least one sharply contested House race: Arizona, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and New Hampshire. Republicans hold a similarly tenuous edge in Florida. The Alaska and Montana at-large seats are held by Republicans, meaning a Democrat would change the delegation’s vote in a presidential tally.

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has revealed on a podcast he will not submit to a COVID vaccine when they are readily available , while also calling Bill Gates a “ knucklehead ” and admitting the pandemic has made him question his faith in humanity .
‘ It has diminished my faith in humanity , the whole thing…the irrationality of peope in general , ’ the South Africa native said .
Speaking Monday in an interview with Kara Swisher on the New York Times ’ podcast Sway , Musk said that he won ’ t take a vaccine , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are “ not at risk.
” When asked ‘ Will you get a vaccine ?
What will you do with your own family ?
’ he curtly replied , ‘ No , I ’ m not at risk for COVID .
Nor are my kids.
‘ Musk also slammed the lockdowns that took place across the country and the world as an irrational mistake .
‘ I mean this is a hot button issue where rationality takes a back seat .
In the grand scheme of things what we have something with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contagion , ‘ he said .
‘ Essentially the right thing to do would be to not have done a lockdown for the whole country but to have anyone that who is at risk quarantine until the storm passes , ’ he added .
Musk noted that he ’ s been going to work as normal and his company SpaceX has sent astronauts to space and back while others are sheltering at home .
Musk ’ s Tesla factories in California have also been working , though they faced some hurdles remaining open @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , apart for several weeks where we were shut down by the state , and then the overzealous Alameda County , which was a travesty , but apart from that we ’ ve been making cars this entire time and it ’ s been great , ’ Musk said .
DailyMail report : In May Tesla sued Alameda County officials for trying to shutter the company ’ s main Fremont warehouse due to the virus through June .
Host Swisher pointed out his perspective on the pandemic is contradictory to much of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ humanity – from space exploration to eco-friendly electric cars .
‘ Everybody dies , ’ Musk said on the human cost of the pandemic that has infected more than seven million in the US and killed more than 204,000 .
Musk said the US should have better assessed what does the ‘ greater good ‘ and lockdowns were not the solution .
‘ It has diminished my faith in humanity , the whole thing…the irrationality of peope in general , ’ the South Africa native said .
When asked how his employees who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work Musk replied , ‘ Great , stay at home…If they have a legitimate reason to be at risk then they should stay at home.
‘ Swisher pressed further asking him to step into the shoes of his employees who feel daunted to work amid the pandemic .

Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has revealed on a podcast he will not submit to a COVID vaccine when they are readily available, while also calling Bill Gates a “knucklehead” and admitting the pandemic has made him question his faith in humanity.
‘It has diminished my faith in humanity, the whole thing…the irrationality of peope in general,’ the South Africa native said.

Speaking Monday in an interview with Kara Swisher on the New York Times’ podcast Sway, Musk said that he won’t take a vaccine, and neither will his family, because they are “not at risk.”
When asked ‘Will you get a vaccine? What will you do with your own family?’ he curtly replied, ‘No, I’m not at risk for COVID. Nor are my kids.‘
Musk also slammed the lockdowns that took place across the country and the world as an irrational mistake.
‘I mean this is a hot button issue where rationality takes a back seat. In the grand scheme of things what we have something with a very low mortality rate and high contagion,‘ he said.
‘Essentially the right thing to do would be to not have done a lockdown for the whole country but to have anyone that who is at risk quarantine until the storm passes,’ he added.
Musk noted that he’s been going to work as normal and his company SpaceX has sent astronauts to space and back while others are sheltering at home.
Musk’s Tesla factories in California have also been working, though they faced some hurdles remaining open for business.
‘Tesla has been, apart for several weeks where we were shut down by the state, and then the overzealous Alameda County, which was a travesty, but apart from that we’ve been making cars this entire time and it’s been great,’ Musk said.
Elon Musk, 49, said he won’t get a coronavirus vaccine when they’re available because he’s ‘not at risk’, in a Monday interview on the NYT podcast Sway
When podcast host Kara Swisher (above) asked ‘Will you get a vaccine? What will you do with your own family?’ he curtly replied, ‘No, I’m not at risk for COVID. Nor are my kids.’
DailyMail report: In May Tesla sued Alameda County officials for trying to shutter the company’s main Fremont warehouse due to the virus through June.
Host Swisher pointed out his perspective on the pandemic is contradictory to much of his other work in the name of saving humanity – from space exploration to eco-friendly electric cars.
‘Everybody dies,’ Musk said on the human cost of the pandemic that has infected more than seven million in the US and killed more than 204,000.
Musk said the US should have better assessed what does the ‘greater good‘ and lockdowns were not the solution.
‘It has diminished my faith in humanity, the whole thing…the irrationality of peope in general,’ the South Africa native said.
When asked how his employees who feel at risk would feel coming into work Musk replied, ‘Great, stay at home…If they have a legitimate reason to be at risk then they should stay at home.‘
Swisher pressed further asking him to step into the shoes of his employees who feel daunted to work amid the pandemic.
‘Let’s just move on… Kara, I do not want to get in a debate about the COVID situation,’ Musk briskly replied.
Musk noted that he has been putting effort into the coronavirus pandemic, working with Harvard University’s epidemiology team.
‘We’ve also spent quite a lot of time with the Harvard epidemiology team doing antibody studies, Tesla makes the vaccine machines for CureVac, [Bill] Gates said something about me not doing…like hey knucklehead we actually make the vaccine machines for CureVac, the company you’re invested in,’ Musk said.
Musk said that he isn’t focusing too much on the pandemic and is instead trying to do as much as he can to improve humanity.
‘I really am just trying to do the most amount of good with the time that I have on this Earth, not really succeeding, but that’s the goal. And then it’s like man, but I got to do this without my head exploding and going to crazy,’ he added.
In the interview the CEO said he thinks Tesla ‘will be worth more in five years’, even as the company’s stock has risen over 400 percent this year alone.

Joe Biden is raking in Wall Street cash from all the big banks at five times the rate of President Trump , according to a CNN report .
An analysis by CNN found that “ all the big banks are backing Biden ” against Trump , with Biden taking a larger margin of Wall Street donations than even Hillary Clinton did in 2016 .

It has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , $ 51.1 million , to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden .
That means Trump is losing the fundraising race among Wall Streeters by a slightly greater magnitude than in 2016 .
During that cycle , former New York Senator Hillary Clinton and groups aligned with her raised $ 88 million from the securities and investment industry , while Trump took in just $ 20.8 million .

newspunch--2020-09-29--Singing and Dancing Now ILLEGAL in UK Pubs – Citizens Face £10,000 Fines

George Orwell is rolling in his grave .
If it wasn ’ t already outrageous enough to impose a 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants , the UK government has decided to further cripple the dying hospitality industry .
The new regulations will “ ban pubs and bars from playing loud music or allowing people to sing and dance , ” according to reports .
The same rules also say that pub landlords or those who run other venues like hotel bars , restaurants and members clubs , must take “ all reasonable measures ” to stop singing and dancing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of more than six .
Former Tory minister Steve Baker compared the ban on singing and dancing in bars and restaurants to Orwell ’ s dystopian novel 1984 .
He also likened Mr Johnson to King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings books , telling Times Radio : “ The king is under the spell of his advisers .
And he has to be woken up from that spell.
” The Prime Minister is under pressure to give Parliament the opportunity to debate and vote on future restrictions , with more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the matter .
MPs will vote on Wednesday on whether to renew the powers in the Coronavirus Act , with Sir Graham Brady , chairman of the influential Tory backbench 1922 Committee , leading calls for ministers to consult Parliament before introducing new curbs on people ’ s freedoms .
Sir Graham had criticised ministers for having “ got into the habit of ruling by decree ” .
Some 52 Conservatives publicly back the amendment , enough to wipe out Mr Johnson ’ s Commons majority if it is put to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

Draconian new coronavirus rules in the UK ban ordinary citizens from singing or dancing in pubs.
George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

If it wasn’t already outrageous enough to impose a 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants, the UK government has decided to further cripple the dying hospitality industry.
The new regulations will “ban pubs and bars from playing loud music or allowing people to sing and dance,” according to reports.
Standard.co.uk reports: The Government has also introduced separate laws which ban pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes from playing music which exceeds 85 decibels – although live performances are exempt.
The same rules also say that pub landlords or those who run other venues like hotel bars, restaurants and members clubs, must take “all reasonable measures” to stop singing and dancing on the premises by customers in groups of more than six.
Former Tory minister Steve Baker compared the ban on singing and dancing in bars and restaurants to Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
He also likened Mr Johnson to King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings books, telling Times Radio: “The king is under the spell of his advisers. And he has to be woken up from that spell.”
The Prime Minister is under pressure to give Parliament the opportunity to debate and vote on future restrictions, with more than 50 Tory MPs signalling they could rebel on the matter.
MPs will vote on Wednesday on whether to renew the powers in the Coronavirus Act, with Sir Graham Brady, chairman of the influential Tory backbench 1922 Committee, leading calls for ministers to consult Parliament before introducing new curbs on people’s freedoms.
Sir Graham had criticised ministers for having “got into the habit of ruling by decree”.
Some 52 Conservatives publicly back the amendment, enough to wipe out Mr Johnson’s Commons majority if it is put to a vote and the opposition parties support it.
Mr Baker, one of those who signed up to Sir Graham’s amendment, said: “I know it’s inconvenient for ministers to come to the House before they take away people’s liberties, but what I’d say to ministers is it is supposed to be. It is what keeps us a free people.”
Tory grandee Lord Lamont spoke from the Upper Chamber to criticise the Government’s national restrictions, likening them to the so-called “dodgy dossier” used to justify the Iraq war in 2003.
The ex-chancellor told peers: “The powers that the Government have taken are far-reaching. Some might call them draconian.
“The minister has often said that this is a war. Well, I hope that it is not, like the war in Iraq, based on a dodgy dossier, or like the war in Afghanistan, which cannot be won and to which there is no end.”
Warning of the economic cost of the Government’s restrictions, Lord Lamont added: “Having repeated lockdowns while we wait for a vaccine is not a tenable strategy.”
The raft of new rules, including fines for businesses, must be reviewed within six months but could last up to a year unless the Government decides to scrap them earlier.
Some industry leaders said the growing restrictions on hospitality businesses were making it hard for pubs to survive.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “The cumulative impact of layering restriction upon restriction is making it harder for pubs to survive.
“We have already seen a total ban on music in pubs in Scotland, which has seen trade plummet there.
“The sector has not been consulted on the evidence base for these extra restrictions on music.
“We are acutely aware of our responsibilities as businesses, but the Government is in danger of cutting off any chance of a recovery.”
It comes as leaders in Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester warned the Government their hospitality sectors are at risk of collapse unless coronavirus restrictions are reviewed.
In a letter to Health Secretary Matt Hancock and Business Secretary Alok Sharma, the leaders and chief executives of the three city councils said restrictions in place in the regions were threatening a “huge, disproportionate” economic impact.
Guidance in place in the cities advises people not to mix with other households but the council leaders said it was “unenforceable” as well as being “contradictory and confusing”.
In the letter, they said: “The stark reality is that these businesses are facing the prospect of a complete decimation in trade, not just in the short term but as we look ahead to the sector’s traditional lifeblood of the Christmas period and almost certainly continuing into spring/summer of next year which we know with certainty will result in mass market failure, huge levels of redundancies and depleted and boarded up high streets.”

newspunch--2020-09-29--UK MP Pushes Mandatory Coronavirus Vaccine For Travel & Suggests Military Oversee Its Rollout

British Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood has urged the government to draft in the armed forces to oversee the rollout of a mass coronavirus vaccination program .
The program would include mandatory certificates which would allow people to travel internationally .
While speaking in the House of Commons on Monday night , Ellwood argued that the mass coronavirus vaccination scheme is a challenge of the scale and complexity of “ the D-day landings and Dunkirk.
” RT reports : The MP for Bournemouth East told the parliament that a vaccine could be six months away and urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the process of delivering it to the UK population .
Mass vaccine rollout is an enormous responsibility , and we need to get it right , ” Ellwood said .
“ I stress that there is huge scope for this to go wrong if we do not start to plan now , ” he added .
The politician told the House that he has written to Johnson urging him to use the Ministry of Defence and the army to set up regional distribution hubs as well as to develop a “ national database @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certificates.
” Ellwood , who is Chair of the House of Commons Defence Select Committee , said that vaccination certificates “ will probably have to be internationally recognized in order to allow travel , international travel.

Volunteers working for Democrat nominee Joe Biden ’ s presidential campaign are going on record admitting that “ staggering ” numbers of Americans are convinced the former vice president is a “ pedophile.
” “ I have been doing a lot of text banking and the number of people who think Biden is a pedophile is astounding , ” one volunteer tweeted last week .
“ They immediately start calling Biden a pedophile , ” another phone banker told Mother Jones .
“ I send out 500 texts in a pop and maybe it ’ ll come up five to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the vast majority of texts are not going to yield a reply and only a fraction of the recipients are Trump voters , that ’ s a very high response rate .
It seems Creepy Joe Biden has a serious image problem among grassroots voters and the mainstream media is terrified to address it .
Another volunteer in Pennsylvania ranked the “ Biden is a pedophile ” response as the second most common “ across the board ” in her text-banking conversations .
Bradd Silver , a Biden volunteer from California , recalled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who told him that “ Biden never goes by a young girl without smelling her hair or touching her on the back.
” Imagine my shock .
Where on earth could that voter have gotten that idea from ?
“ My wife has gotten this about pedophiles a bunch , too , ” the Biden volunteer added .
“ We have a response for that , which is sort of , ‘ this is just nonsense let ’ s talk about real issues.
’ But no one wants to talk about real issues.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ spoke to numerous Biden volunteers and phone bankers .
They all confirmed that a “ staggering ” number Americans across the board think Biden is a pedophile :

“They immediately start calling Biden a pedophile,” another phone banker told Mother Jones. “I send out 500 texts in a pop and maybe it’ll come up five to seven times.”
When you consider that the vast majority of texts are not going to yield a reply and only a fraction of the recipients are Trump voters, that’s a very high response rate.

Another volunteer in Pennsylvania ranked the “Biden is a pedophile” response as the second most common “across the board” in her text-banking conversations.
Just spent a few hours text banking for the Democrats in PA. The complaints about Biden were consistent across the board: 1. Biden is mentally/physically unfit, and 2. Biden is a pedophile. The propaganda machine is hard at work! — Sharona, PhD, MPH (@sharonasoks) September 12, 2020
Bradd Silver, a Biden volunteer from California, recalled a recent text exchange with a voter who told him that “Biden never goes by a young girl without smelling her hair or touching her on the back.”
Imagine my shock. Where on earth could that voter have gotten that idea from?
“My wife has gotten this about pedophiles a bunch, too,” the Biden volunteer added. “We have a response for that, which is sort of, ‘this is just nonsense let’s talk about real issues.’ But no one wants to talk about real issues.”
MotherJones dived into the debate and spoke to numerous Biden volunteers and phone bankers. They all confirmed that a “staggering” number Americans across the board think Biden is a pedophile:
After we spoke, Silver checked the Slack channel he’s in for Biden text-bankers to see if this had happened to anyone else. “Looks like 72 or so texters reported getting replies about Joe being a pedophile,” he wrote to me.
Another volunteer I spoke with, who said she gets at least one pedophile comment during every text-banking shift, sent along a smattering of screenshots of responses her fellow volunteers had received.
One voter said, “I personally believe that pedophiles should be fed feet first in to a woodchipper.”
Another said that they could not support a candidate who would “associate with know [sic] pedophiles while being accused by the public to be a pedophile.”
“I’d rather catch COVID-19 then [sic] vote for that pedophile…Trump 2020 bitch,” responded yet another. …..
