"Listen"? Biden's already hatching plans to crack down even harder to silence patriots and dissidents who share their ideas online.

So, in order to earn our trust, Joe Biden would have to call his own side out for raising the temperature. And he has steadfastly refused to do so. He hasn't called out Black Lives Matter for the suggestion that America is systemically racist; he has cheered it on. He hasn't condemned Antifa; he has deemed it a philosophy rather than a dangerous movement. And he certainly hasn't said a word about the continuing attacks on Trump supporters.
We will wait in vain for Biden to chide former first lady Michelle Obama for declaring that 70 million Americans "voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division." Our bones will likely bleach before Biden tells Hillary Clinton that Trump supporters aren't deplorables.
No, "unity" in the Biden formulation isn't a recognition of what we have in common; it's a demand that we silence ourselves in order to mirror Biden's priorities. Unity, you see, can be achieved one of two ways: through recognition of the other, through a determination to understand those who think differently than we do; or through ideological domination.

Americans can only come together when we share a common philosophy, history and culture. Democrats have spent years attempting to tear away those commonalities in favor of coalitional interest-group politics. They've declared American philosophy racist from inception; they've declared American history a litany of brutalities; they've declared American culture bigotry embodied. Now they want unity – the unity of absolute victory.
Ironically, it's that very desire – the desire for monolithic control – that will be their undoing. Unless Biden is serious about unity – unless he's willing to cross the aisle and recognize the humanity of those with whom he disagrees, and to call out those on his own side who won't – Biden's term is likely to be contentious, polarizing and ultimately unsuccessful.

There are serious and credible allegations of voter fraud in some of the key swing states. The swing states include Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Citizen Free Press reports: "[Rudy] Giuliani tells Maria Bartiromo [Fox News] this morning [Nov. 8] that as many as 900,000 invalid ballots were cast in Pennsylvania, and that the Trump campaign will reveal the full slate of evidence in court."
Trump attorney Sidney Powell added that they've identified 450,000 ballots in Pennsylvania that only had Biden marked on them (not any vote for candidates of other offices on the ballot).
In Pennsylvania, supposedly 840 voters were 101 or older; 39 lived through the Civil War; 45 were born in the 1800s. These are among the 21,000-plus dead people in Pennsylvania that are reported to have voted. As some wag noted, "I see dead people voting."
Despite court orders, poll counters in Philadelphia and Detroit reportedly have prevented Republican monitors from observing the ballot counting. Furthermore, in some instances, workers have boarded up windows, eliminating any pretense of transparency.
A software "glitch" in Michigan has caused thousands of votes for Trump to be applied as votes for Biden.

Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan said, "This is the first time in American history, where you have a party systematically set out to win an election after the election. That's what they're doing, and it has to be stopped." [Emphasis added.]

Judge Darrell White is a conservative Christian and the founder/director of Retired Judges of America. I once interviewed him for Christian television in reference to America's Christian heritage.

We are trustees for the next generation." [Emphasis added.]
As trustees, it is up to us to make sure that we preserve our national heritage and genuine trust at the polls. White adds that "our founders clearly had a biblical worldview" – a major component of which is a belief in the "notion of the depravity of man."
The division of powers by the founders was based on their knowledge that man is sinful. James Madison, a key architect of the Constitution, put it succinctly: "All men having power ought to be distrusted." That's not cynical. It is because of that view we enjoy the freedoms we enjoy.

1 megapastor's pre-election jaw-dropper

On Oct. 18 , 2020 , right before the election , a pastor of a megachurch told his congregation at Sunday service : `` I do n't care … who you vote for . ''
Thousands attend his Sunday services in person , while tens of thousands watch online every week .
He is a pastor with a huge influence in a battleground state where the race is so close and votes are being questioned .
I greatly respected and admired this pastor , who has close ties to President Trump .
He openly shared in services about his trips @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for him .

The whistleblower, whose identity was hidden and whose voice was modified at her request, told host Laura Ingraham that she noticed white envelopes being passed around and ripped open near a Biden-Harris van while on a walk during her lunch break. The envelope handlers then leaned against the side of the van in order to mark the papers, which she recognized as ballots.
“As I got closer, I thought, ‘Those are ballots,’” she said. “I walked by four or five times. On the next time I walked by, they were putting them in the envelopes. They were putting them in a white and pink envelope.”

wnd--2020-11-12--Biden adviser calling for lockdown condemned same strategy in March

The coronavirus adviser to Joe Biden who is advocating a national lockdown of four to six weeks had a very different view of lockdowns in March , when he argued in a Washington Post op-ed that the economic and social costs are enormous and the science points to better alternatives .

`` If we did that , then we could lockdown for four-to-six weeks . ''
TRENDING : 'Hundreds of thousands of ballots are going to have to be discarded' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the Washington Post , Osterhom , along with writer Mark Olshaker , warned of the high economic and social costs of `` the near-draconian lockdowns '' in effect at the time in China and Italy , which ultimately do n't reduce the number of cases , only stretching them out over time .
`` But how and when will these two 'test ' nations return to normal life ? ''
the professor asked .
`` And when they do , will there be a major second wave of cases ?
If that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeat ' ? ''
He said in March that `` [ a ] s a country , with momentum building for a possible national shutdown directive , we are on the verge of ringing a giant bell that we don ’ t know how to un-ring . ''

`` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advocate lockdowns as the primary means of control of this virus , '' Nabarro said .
Osterholm warned of a serious global pandemic in a 2005 piece for Foreign Affairs magazine in which his said that time `` is running out to prepare for the next pandemic .

He reprised his warning in his 2017 book `` Deadliest Enemy : Our War Against Killer Germs . ''
In his interview Wednesday with Yahoo Finance , he referenced an August New York Times op-ed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Neel Kashkari in which the two argued for more restrictive and uniform lockdowns across the nation .
`` The problem with the March-to-May lockdown was that it was not uniformly stringent across the country .
For example , Minnesota deemed 78 percent of its workers essential , '' they wrote .
`` To be effective , the lockdown has to be as comprehensive and strict as possible . ''
In contrast , Osterholm wrote for the Post in March that the nation may soon `` have to acknowledge that attempting to stretch out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ curve reasonably flat is unworkable . ''
`` Then , as we wait for either our scientific or natural redeemer to come , we can start trying to put things as back to normal as we can — doing our best to protect those at high risk , but acknowledging that people will get sick , some will die , and our health-care system is going to be overrun to a great extent no matter what we do , '' he wrote .
He emphasized in his Post op-ed there is `` no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will have to figure out what shade of gray we can accept and apply .

`` Covid-19 will go away eventually in one of two ways .

In fact , WND reported in October a study published in the British Medical Journal concluded the closing of schools in response to the coronavirus pandemic could increase the number of deaths resulting from the disease .
The U.K. study found lockdowns were `` highly effective at reducing peak demand for intensive care unit ( ICU ) beds . ''

“Energy in the executive” was Alexander Hamilton’s famous phrase in The Federalist suggesting how the presidency would be the powerful engine of political purpose under the Constitution. Nowadays, though, the phrase takes on a new and narrower meaning: what will the nation’s chief executive do about – well, energy?
As the 2020 presidential election campaign drew to a close, it became apparent that enthusiasm among Democrats to ban fracking for oil and gas production might cost them the all-important state of gas-rich Pennsylvania and stifle any dreams of putting Texas into play. Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris backtracked on their earlier, more aggressive opposition to fracking, saying now that they would limit it to federal lands, of which Pennsylvania has few. Beyond the fracking issue, there’s a larger energy story that may play out in ironic ways in what liberals hope will be the equivalent of Barack Obama’s third term.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Although Biden appears to have edged out Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, a look at the county-by-county vote reveals that Trump did indeed increase his support in Pennsylvania’s rural counties, where natural gas production through fracking has rejuvenated previously sagging local economies. In Texas, energy may have played a significant role in the most startling shift in this election: Trump’s support in several low-income, heavily Hispanic areas of southwest Texas near the border surged dramatically. The large Hispanic support for Trump in Florida is attributed to anti-socialist sentiments among Cubans and other central American emigres, but the same cannot be said of south Texas Hispanics.
While we await survey data or deep-dive analysis from political reporters like Salena Zito, a simple look at the map might provide a common-sense clue about what happened: there is considerable overlap between these pro-Trump Texas counties and the Eagle Ford and Permian shale basins. It does not take brilliant insight to surmise that the Hispanic populations of these areas like the prosperity that the oil and gas boom has delivered. Promises to phase out oil and gas likely don’t sound very promising to these beleaguered communities. Texas may be (surprisingly) the nation’s leading wind-power state, but very little wind-power activity accrued to these south Texas regions.
Beyond the fracking factor is the larger question of the prospective Biden administration’s general energy posture. One of the ironies of our time, little noticed by the mainstream media, is that oil and gas production enjoyed its greatest boom under . . . the Obama administration, though the administration was indifferent if not hostile to oil and gas expansion. The mainstream media also seldom report that the self-styled “climate hawks” who generated the extravagant phantasms of the Green New Deal are privately disappointed at the meager achievements of the Obama years. All they got from Obama was a signature on the largely toothless Paris Climate Accord (which James Hansen, the Paul Revere of climate change, has called “a fraud”) and an EPA regulatory regime – the so-called “Clean Power Plan” – for the electricity sector that was in big trouble in court before Trump pulled the plug on it.
Given that Obama failed to pass a modest emissions-trading scheme (the 2009 Waxman-Markey Bill) when Democrats had big House and Senate majorities, the prospects for the Green New Deal with a closely divided Congress now are less than nil.

Under such a declaration, the president could divert some defense funds to renewable-energy projects, just as Trump used defense funds to build the border wall. He could also suspend existing oil and gas leases on federal land, speed up regulation of auto and truck emissions standards, cancel pipeline projects, and even limit coal exports.
This “anti-energy in the executive” approach would no doubt thrill the Democratic Party’s grassroots, but it would fare poorly in energy-intensive states like Michigan and Pennsylvania that delivered Biden’s narrow victory. But, at 78 years old by the time he takes office and facing the strong possibility that he will be a one-term president, Biden may be an old man in a hurry, one who discounts conventional political calculations.

wnd--2020-11-12--Muslim Brotherhood terrorists rejoicing over Biden 'victory'

The Muslim Brotherhood has congratulated Joe Biden for his `` victory '' in the 2020 presidential election , buoyed by its belief that he will bring the movement regarded widely as a terrorist organization back to power in Egypt .
Moroccan researcher Amin Al-Alawi said the Muslim Brotherhood 's `` celebration of Biden reflects a nostalgia for the era of revolutions and the Democrats ' support for the Arab Spring , '' wrote Jerusalem-based journalist Khaled Abu Toameh for the Gatestone Institute .
The Muslim Brotherhood , the Moroccan researcher wrote , partnered with democratic administrations `` in ruining the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Muslim Brotherhood believes that Biden will bring them back to power [ in Egypt ] , especially after [ President Donald ] Trump 's four-year presence has aborted their ambitions .

Toameh said the `` message Arabs are sending to the new U.S. administration is : Do not repeat the mistakes of former President Barack Obama , whose administration sided with then Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi , a Muslim Brotherhood member . ''
The Arabs , he said , also `` want to remind a potentially new U.S. administration that the Islamists and their supporters are inveterate liars who care only about their own interests . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Arab Weekly has documented the enthusiasm among Muslim Brotherhood activists for Biden .

The Muslim Brotherhood has congratulated Joe Biden for his "victory" in the 2020 presidential election, buoyed by its belief that he will bring the movement regarded widely as a terrorist organization back to power in Egypt.
Moroccan researcher Amin Al-Alawi said the Muslim Brotherhood's "celebration of Biden reflects a nostalgia for the era of revolutions and the Democrats' support for the Arab Spring," wrote Jerusalem-based journalist Khaled Abu Toameh for the Gatestone Institute.
The Muslim Brotherhood, the Moroccan researcher wrote, partnered with democratic administrations "in ruining the region and supporting extremism."
"The Muslim Brotherhood believes that Biden will bring them back to power [in Egypt], especially after [President Donald] Trump's four-year presence has aborted their ambitions."
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Toameh, a journalism fellow at the Gatestone Institute, pointed out that the Muslim Brotherhood is considered by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Syria to be a terrorist organization.
The UAE and Bahrain are two of the three Arab nations, along with Sudan, that made peace agreements with Israel this year under the leadership of the Trump administration.
Toameh said the "message Arabs are sending to the new U.S. administration is: Do not repeat the mistakes of former President Barack Obama, whose administration sided with then Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood member."
The Arabs, he said, also "want to remind a potentially new U.S. administration that the Islamists and their supporters are inveterate liars who care only about their own interests."
Toameh noted that the London-based paper The Arab Weekly has documented the enthusiasm among Muslim Brotherhood activists for Biden.
The paper said: "Analysts attributed this enthusiasm to their [Muslim Brotherhood's] wish for an encore of their experience in the era of former President Barack Obama, during which they played a remarkable role riding the wave of the 'Arab Spring' uprisings. Pro-Muslim Brotherhood activists and media professionals in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and the Gulf states did not hide their prayers for a Biden victory."
The Arab Weekly pointed out Biden's citation of hadiths from Muhammad in his pitch to Muslim voters.
The Muslim Brotherhood published a statement on its official website in which it wrote that it "appreciates the American electoral process, which resulted in Mr. Joe Biden winning the position of the new President of the United States, a victory that proves that the American people are still able to impose their will."
Toameh noted that the "labeled terrorist organization said, with a straight face, that it 'wishes Mr. Biden, the American people, and the peoples of the whole world to continue to live in dignity under the principles of freedom, justice, democracy and respect for human rights.'"
The Muslim Brotherhood endorsement of Biden was scorned by a Saudi writer.
Tariq Al-Homayed wrote: "As expected, the Muslim Brotherhood organization came out of its hole and issued a statement congratulating Joe Biden and asking him to act against those they call dictatorships. ... We say expected, because the Muslim Brotherhood, who used to condemn their critics as agents of the West and Zionists, have revealed their face, and they are urging America to intervene against our countries now under the pretext of democracy."
Toameh warned that no U.S. administration "can afford to dismiss the warning bells sounded by Arabs in the wake of the Muslim Brotherhood's attempt to present itself as a peaceful group that seeks to bring freedom and democracy to the Arab world."
"Islamists are desperate to return to power in Egypt, which is why they are prepared to even court the American 'Satan' to reach this goal," he wrote.
