saraacater--2020-11-28--Allegations of voter fraud MUST be investigated to ensure our Election integrity

Allegations of voter fraud MUST be investigated to ensure our Election integrity Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell promised she would file several lawsuits revealing extensive election fraud and she ’ s done just that in recent weeks .
President Donald Trump ’ s lawyers Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani have also done the same , exposing what they say is extensive fraud in the 2020 General Election .
Powell ’ s lawsuit against Georgia this week revealed 30 plus allegations of electoral fraud , among other alleged irregular activities in election .
For Powell , Ellis and Giuliani proving the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ensuring that the allegations are thoroughly investigated is essential .
It is our duty as Americans to know if there was fraud in this election , we can ’ t afford not to investigate .
These lawyers , however , are up against a behemoth of enemies .
The media is relentlessly targeting them and attempting to to turn the serious questions they are posing into jokes or deflecting from the truth with circus side bars .
For Powell , the attacks have been relentless .
She has been up against a media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theorist , despite an incredible career as a top notch lawyer .
Why ?
Because in the end , the majority of those in the media don ’ t really care if there was election fraud in the general election – they are more than happy to see President Donald Trump removed from office .
So the battle is all the more difficult but it doesn ’ t mean it isn ’ t worth fighting .
In fact , it means the fight is that much more necessary .
Moreover , as President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ many of the lawsuits aren ’ t from Trump ’ s team of lawyers or Powell , “ but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses.
” Still , regardless what anyone thinks of Powell , or others who believe massive fraud occurred in the 2020 general election , the world is watching .
Yes , other nations and news outlets all over the world are questioning the sanctity of the American election .
If we are to remain a beacon of light and a nation above reproach we need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leave no stone unturned .
Those questioning the sanctity of the election are right to question it .
They are right to question it no matter what the outcome .
Either there was significant fraud or there was not .
Either way we must and should know .
The majority of the allegations submitted in Powell ’ s Georgia lawsuit are based on witness statements and expert testimony .
The issues range from questions surrounding the absentee ballots , testimony raising questions regarding suspicious ballots , mail-in-ballots , as well as allegations that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by enemy foreign actors and tampered with in the United States .
The witness testimony and their allegations of voter fraud are enough , in my opinion , to investigate .
Powell certainly has had a tough month .
She was recently distanced by Trump campaign lawyers Jenna Ellis and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani from their current ongoing election fraud lawsuits .
Ellis has suggested on Twitter that it was due to the fact that the lawyers were investigating different aspects of election fraud .
Either way , all of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accusations of election fraud are doing the right thing .
The American people should have no doubt in their mind that election was legitimate and that every legitimate ( legal ) vote was counted .
Some opponents suggest that Powell ’ s lawsuit is nothing more than a conspiracy theory , while others , like me , who have known Powell for many years , know she is dedicated to the truth and her intentions are out of pure patriotism .
In these politically charged and divided times , her battle will be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media bias will ensure that she is subjected to ridicule by those who don ’ t want any form of investigation into the election .
They I , for one , believe it is absolutely essential that there needs to be an investigation into all the allegations surfacing from Georgia , Pennsylvania , Michigan , Arizona , as well as other states .
Let ’ s just find out the truth and let the lawsuits play their way through the court without judgement .
Isn ’ t there a moral imperative in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ elections .
A thorough investigation is necessary to gain the trust and confidence of the American people .
After all , more than 73 million people voted for President Trump , that is more than any other Republican President .
There should never be any doubt in America that the elections are above reproach .
Our elections – as our peaceful transfer of power – are envied and should be emulated throughout the world .
So why not look into the fraud allegations set forth in Powell ’ s lawsuits ?
Let ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ellis and Giulliani ’ s lawsuits ?
I believe only people with something to hide at this point don ’ t want an investigation .
If I feel this way , I know there are many other Americans feeling exactly the same .
If we don ’ t believe in the sanctity of the American electoral system then our nation really will be in peril and our freedom in jeopardy .
Here ’ s some of the allegations , under sworn affidavits , presented in Powell ’ s Georgia lawsuit : • Andrew @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and election security expert said the vote tallies used by Dominion machines can be manipulated by imputing a malicious code with just “ 7 minutes alone with [ the voting machine ] and a screwdriver.
” • The lawsuit alleges that Dominion Voting machines was hacked by rogue agents from enemy states such as China and Iran , “ in order to monitor and manipulate elections ” including the 2020 election .
Powell submitted an affidavit from a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence .
“ By using servers and employees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials , Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections , including the most recent one in 2020 , ” the lawsuit notes .
• According to an affidavit submitted by Ronald Watkins , a software and cyber-security expert who reviewed the Dominion software manual , the machine operators can change the setting to exclude certain ballots from being counted on the Dominion voting machines .
He said scans of the excluded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the operator can delete them simply using Windows File Manager .
Defendants have a duty to guard against deprivation of the right to vote through the dilution of validly cast ballots by ballot fraud or election tampering .
Rather than heeding these mandates and duties , Defendants arbitrarily and capriciously denied the Trump Campaign and Republicans meaningful access to observe and monitor the electoral process by : ( a ) mandating that representatives at the pre- canvass and canvass of all absentee and mail-ballots be either Georgia barred attorneys or qualified registered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sought to observe and monitor ; and ( b ) not allowing watchers and representatives to visibly see and review all envelopes containing official absentee and mail-in ballots either at the time or before they were opened and/or when such ballots were counted and recorded .
Instead , Defendants refused to credential all of the Trump Campaign ’ s submitted watchers and representatives and/or kept Trump Campaign ’ s watchers and representatives by security and metal barricades from the areas where the inspection , opening , and counting of absentee and mail-in ballots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meaningful access with actual access to see the ballots invited further fraud and cast doubt of the validity of the proceedings .

Moreover, as President Donald Trump tweeted earlier this month, many of the lawsuits aren’t from Trump’s team of lawyers or Powell, “but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses.”

Still, regardless what anyone thinks of Powell, or others who believe massive fraud occurred in the 2020 general election, the world is watching. Yes, other nations and news outlets all over the world are questioning the sanctity of the American election. If we are to remain a beacon of light and a nation above reproach we need to do investigate these allegations of fraud and leave no stone unturned.

The majority of the allegations submitted in Powell’s Georgia lawsuit are based on witness statements and expert testimony. The issues range from questions surrounding the absentee ballots, testimony raising questions regarding suspicious ballots, mail-in-ballots, as well as allegations that Dominion Voting Systems may have been compromised by enemy foreign actors and tampered with in the United States.
The witness testimony and their allegations of voter fraud are enough, in my opinion, to investigate.
Powell certainly has had a tough month. She was recently distanced by Trump campaign lawyers Jenna Ellis and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani from their current ongoing election fraud lawsuits. Ellis has suggested on Twitter that it was due to the fact that the lawyers were investigating different aspects of election fraud.
Either way, all of the lawyers involved in exposing and investigating the accusations of election fraud are doing the right thing. The American people should have no doubt in their mind that election was legitimate and that every legitimate (legal) vote was counted.
Some opponents suggest that Powell’s lawsuit is nothing more than a conspiracy theory, while others, like me, who have known Powell for many years, know she is dedicated to the truth and her intentions are out of pure patriotism.
In these politically charged and divided times, her battle will be met with extraordinary opposition. Moreover, media bias will ensure that she is subjected to ridicule by those who don’t want any form of investigation into the election.
I believe it is absolutely essential that there needs to be an investigation into all the allegations surfacing from Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, as well as other states. Let’s just find out the truth and let the lawsuits play their way through the court without judgement.
Isn’t there a moral imperative in a Democracy to ensure the sanctity of the elections. A thorough investigation is necessary to gain the trust and confidence of the American people. After all, more than 73 million people voted for President Trump, that is more than any other Republican President.
There should never be any doubt in America that the elections are above reproach. Our elections – as our peaceful transfer of power – are envied and should be emulated throughout the world.
So why not look into the fraud allegations set forth in Powell’s lawsuits? Let’s also investigate the allegations revealed in Ellis and Giulliani’s lawsuits?

If we don’t believe in the sanctity of the American electoral system then our nation really will be in peril and our freedom in jeopardy.
Here’s some of the allegations, under sworn affidavits, presented in Powell’s Georgia lawsuit:
Andrew Appel, Princeton professor of computer science and election security expert said the vote tallies used by Dominion machines can be manipulated by imputing a malicious code with just “7 minutes alone with [the voting machine] and a screwdriver.” The lawsuit alleges that Dominion Voting machines was hacked by rogue agents from enemy states such as China and Iran, “in order to monitor and manipulate elections” including the 2020 election. Powell submitted an affidavit from a former electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence. “By using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020,” the lawsuit notes. According to an affidavit submitted by Ronald Watkins, a software and cyber-security expert who reviewed the Dominion software manual, the machine operators can change the setting to exclude certain ballots from being counted on the Dominion voting machines. He said scans of the excluded ballots are placed in a separate folder and the operator can delete them simply using Windows File Manager.
From the Georgia lawsuit:
Defendants have a duty to guard against deprivation of the right to vote through the dilution of validly cast ballots by ballot fraud or election tampering. Rather than heeding these mandates and duties, Defendants arbitrarily and capriciously denied the Trump Campaign and Republicans meaningful access to observe and monitor the electoral process by: (a) mandating that representatives at the pre- canvass and canvass of all absentee and mail-ballots be either Georgia barred attorneys or qualified registered electors of the county in which they sought to observe and monitor; and (b) not allowing watchers and representatives to visibly see and review all envelopes containing official absentee and mail-in ballots either at the time or before they were opened and/or when such ballots were counted and recorded. Instead, Defendants refused to credential all of the Trump Campaign’s submitted watchers and representatives and/or kept Trump Campaign’s watchers and representatives by security and metal barricades from the areas where the inspection, opening, and counting of absentee and mail-in ballots were taking place. The lack of meaningful access with actual access to see the ballots invited further fraud and cast doubt of the validity of the proceedings.

saraacater--2020-11-29--Federal Judge reverses original order stopping Georgia from resetting and wiping voter machines

Federal Judge Timothy Batten issued an emergency order Sunday notifying defendants involved in a Georgia election lawsuit that the voting machines and servers must remain intact and not tampered with pursuant to the court order but then reversed his decision several hours later .

saraacater--2020-11-29--President Trump Slams Justice Department, says it’s ‘missing in action’

Where is Department of Justice prosecutor John Durham ?
Where is Attorney General William Barr and their years long investigation into the FBI ?
These are question all of us who have been investigating the FBI ’ s debunked investigation into President Donald Trump ’ s 2016 campaign and the lies that his administration was connected to Russia have been asking .
On Sunday , in his first interview with Fox News Maria Bartiromo since the election Trump responds to Bartiromo ’ s question “ where ’ s the DOJ ?
Is the DOJ investigating ?
” “ Missing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you where they are , ” he said .
“ I ask are they looking at it everyone says yes , they ’ re looking at it .
Look where are they with ( James ) Comey , ( Andrew ) McCabe and all the other people .
You know I said I ’ ll stay out of it .
I wish I didn ’ t make that statement , there ’ s no reason really why I have to but where are they with Comey , with McCabe , with ( John @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they lied to Congress.
” He went on to say they “ lied , they leaked , where they spied in our campaign .
I see Carter Page is bringing a lawsuit that ’ s good news , where are they with all of this stuff ?
” The President isn ’ t the only one wondering where DOJ Attorney General William Barr and Durham are in their investigation .
Remember when Barr kept promising that Durham ’ s report would be made publicly available by September ?

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

UPDATE: NYC Mayor de Blasio says he’ll reopen elementary schools Monday, reversing an earlier decision

UPDATE : New York City Mayor de Blasio announced he will be reopening the city ’ s elementary schools in a complete reversal from an earlier decision to close all schools in the country ’ s largest school district .
Leave it up to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to make a situation go from bad to worse , particularly for parents in the city .
Earlier this week , he told millions of parents that he will “ keep re-opening schools ” even though he shut down the largest district days before to mitigate a resurgence of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ this morning you said that when we get into December , we ’ re going to start re-opening schools .

“ We ’ re going to start with the special education district 75 schools , work our way up pre-K , three K and elementary , ” he added about reopening schools .

” All that talk left out the most important fact that days earlier he had closed down five boroughs , sending millions of children to attend schools at home and putting New York City parents in another predicament : how do you balance work and teach kids at home .

UPDATE: New York City Mayor de Blasio announced he will be reopening the city’s elementary schools in a complete reversal from an earlier decision to close all schools in the country’s largest school district.
JUST IN: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced elementary schools will be reopening in-person on Monday, Dec. 7, in a reversal from a previous decision. https://t.co/jDqHzKJrd5 — ABC News (@ABC) November 29, 2020
Leave it up to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to make a situation go from bad to worse, particularly for parents in the city. Earlier this week, he told millions of parents that he will “keep re-opening schools” even though he shut down the largest district days before to mitigate a resurgence of COVID-19.
A reporter called out asking, “this morning you said that when we get into December, we’re going to start re-opening schools. Can you clarify what that means?”
“I spoke to this yesterday, we’re going to be in an orange zone until December, the orange zone rules for opening schools are very clear, they’re very stringent but we can meet that standard but it’s going to take a lot of work and like I said parents got to be really involved but we can do it,” de Blasio said.
“We’re going to start with the special education district 75 schools, work our way up pre-K, three K and elementary,” he added about reopening schools. “It’s going to take a lot of work that we never had to do on this level before so we’re shifting a lot of testing resources over but we will keep reopening schools and we want to fight back this second wave, and as we fight it back successfully we’ll be able to speed up that process.”
All that talk left out the most important fact that days earlier he had closed down five boroughs, sending millions of children to attend schools at home and putting New York City parents in another predicament: how do you balance work and teach kids at home.

ELECTION 2020: Don’t let the media shame you into silence. You have an obligation question everything

ELECTION 2020 : Don ’ t let the media shame you into silence .
You have an obligation question everything Since the night of the general election , it seems anyone who questions the results of the presidency is targeted by major media outlets as a conspiracy theorist , shamed on social media platforms and outed in news outlets as some sort of quack .
It ’ s a strategy that is extraordinarily effective and they have used it on everyone , including highly respected prosecutors , supporters of President Donald Trump and anyone who challenges the reporting of elitist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ combined with the gaslighting of the American public is a weapon used by opponents of Trump and it has proven highly successful in keeping many people from speaking publicly about their concerns regarding the election .
I mean , they ’ ve already set the standard with the well-known and highly successful attorneys representing Trump , like Jenna Ellis and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani .
But no one has been targeted more viciously than Sidney Powell , who has filed several election lawsuits targeting the very questionable Dominion Voting Systems software @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other irregularities .
Of course , the company has denied all allegations against it but why is the media so intent on shaming this well respected prosecutor ?
Just take a look at the headlines this weekend : The Washington Post , For Trump advocate Sidney Powell , a playbook steeped in conspiracy theories ; Business Insider , Meet Sidney Powell , the former federal prosecutor turned conspiracy theorist who ’ s fueling baseless claims about election fraud , and so many more just like them .
The majority of media outlets have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ former Vice President Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States .
If anyone questions the election or the outcome called by the major media outlets , ‘ God help them ’ because they will be ostracized and publicly shamed .
So where does that leave the rest of America ?
Where does that leave the 73 million plus who voted for Trump and is now wondering if there may have been fraud ?
Well , if the punishment could be public shaming and who wants to be lumped in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has been pushing a massive anti-Trump agenda since he came into office .
Many news outlets , like CNN and MSNBC , worked diligently to vilify Trump daily – targeting his family , friends and those who supported him .
Because of that many Americans became a silent majority – willing to support the president but not always showing that support overtly .
Many , who were consumed by the media hate everyday decided it was better to keep their political beliefs silent .
That ’ s the unfortunate result of what happened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years .
But now after the election the tens-of-millions that wanted President Trump back in office for a second term are perplexed that he has lost .
They are questioning the strangeness of an election that showed a surge never seen for a Republican candidate in recent memory , dissipate in the early morning hours when a surge of unsuspecting votes in certain states , like Pennsylvania , Michigan and Georgia came in for former Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 4 .
Maybe , it ’ s all legitimate .
But it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the duty of the media – to question everything .
The major media outlets should be at the front of the line combining through all the allegations of irregularities and shouldn ’ t be used as a tool by the government to shame anyone who does .
Patrick Basham , a pollster with the CATO Institute , published an opinion editorial in The Spectator that sums up the reasons we all should be concerned about this general election .
It ’ s titled “ Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ strange , put me down as a crank.
” President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection .
He got 11 million more votes than in 2016 , the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent .
By way of comparison , President Obama was comfortably reelected in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than he received in 2008 .
Trump ’ s vote increased so much because , according to exit polls , he performed far better with many key demographic groups .
Ninety-five percent of Republicans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well with rural male working-class whites.He earned the highest share of all minority votes for a Republican since 1960 .
Trump grew his support among black voters by 50 percent over 2016 .
Nationally , Joe Biden ’ s black support fell well below 90 percent , the level below which Democratic presidential candidates usually lose .
Trump increased his share of the national Hispanic vote to 35 percent .
With 60 percent or less of the national Hispanic vote , it is arithmetically impossible for a Democratic presidential candidate to win Florida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mexico .
Bellwether states swung further in Trump ’ s direction than in 2016 .
Florida , Ohio and Iowa each defied America ’ s media polls with huge wins for Trump .
Since 1852 , only Richard Nixon has lost the electoral college after winning this trio , and that 1960 defeat to John F. Kennedy is still the subject of great suspicion .
I suggest you read the full opinion editorial at The Spectator and then ask yourself why the media , which should be a watchdog against government corruption isn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can follow Sara A Carter on Parler @ SaraCarterOfficial or on Twitter @ SaraCarterDC

Well, if the punishment could be public shaming and who wants to be lumped in as a conspiracy theorist.
The media has been pushing a massive anti-Trump agenda since he came into office. Many news outlets, like CNN and MSNBC, worked diligently to vilify Trump daily – targeting his family, friends and those who supported him. Because of that many Americans became a silent majority – willing to support the president but not always showing that support overtly. Many, who were consumed by the media hate everyday decided it was better to keep their political beliefs silent. That’s the unfortunate result of what happened to our nation over the past four years.
But now after the election the tens-of-millions that wanted President Trump back in office for a second term are perplexed that he has lost. They are questioning the strangeness of an election that showed a surge never seen for a Republican candidate in recent memory, dissipate in the early morning hours when a surge of unsuspecting votes in certain states, like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia came in for former Vice President Joe Biden on Nov. 4.
Maybe, it’s all legitimate. But it’s our duty – and frankly the duty of the media – to question everything. The major media outlets should be at the front of the line combining through all the allegations of irregularities and shouldn’t be used as a tool by the government to shame anyone who does.
Patrick Basham, a pollster with the CATO Institute, published an opinion editorial in The Spectator that sums up the reasons we all should be concerned about this general election. It’s titled “Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling. If only cranks find the tabulations strange, put me down as a crank.”
President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection. He got 11 million more votes than in 2016, the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent. By way of comparison, President Obama was comfortably reelected in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than he received in 2008. Trump’s vote increased so much because, according to exit polls, he performed far better with many key demographic groups. Ninety-five percent of Republicans voted for him. He did extraordinarily well with rural male working-class whites.He earned the highest share of all minority votes for a Republican since 1960. Trump grew his support among black voters by 50 percent over 2016. Nationally, Joe Biden’s black support fell well below 90 percent, the level below which Democratic presidential candidates usually lose. Trump increased his share of the national Hispanic vote to 35 percent. With 60 percent or less of the national Hispanic vote, it is arithmetically impossible for a Democratic presidential candidate to win Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. Bellwether states swung further in Trump’s direction than in 2016. Florida, Ohio and Iowa each defied America’s media polls with huge wins for Trump. Since 1852, only Richard Nixon has lost the electoral college after winning this trio, and that 1960 defeat to John F. Kennedy is still the subject of great suspicion. Patrick Basham, CATO Institute
I suggest you read the full opinion editorial at The Spectator and then ask yourself why the media, which should be a watchdog against government corruption isn’t investigating these anomalies.

saraacater--2020-11-30--COVID-19:  Moderna files for U.S. European emergency Vaccine approval

Moderna – along with other U.S. pharmaceuticals – filed for U.S. and European emergency regulatory approval of its highly successful vaccine that they hope to make available on a large scale , according to reports .
The push for approval comes as epidemiologists raise concerns that the virus will surge this winter as more and more people travel throughout the holiday season .
According to reports , the trial data of Moderna ’ s mRNA vaccine will be examined by regulators .
In Moderna ’ s clinical studies – which was released several months ago – the vaccine is 94 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Pfizer also has a highly successful vaccine and has applied for the same emergency approval .
Moderna says it hopes to gain UK approval soon , now that it has trial data from 30,000 volunteers – including high risk groups like the elderly – that suggests it works .
In those studies , 15,000 people received the real vaccine while the other participants got placebo injections .
No serious side effects were reported.During the studies , 185 people in the placebo group fell ill with Covid-19 , and some severely so .

Members of the Select Committee sent a letter to Secretary Antony Blinken this week asking the Biden administration to sever the “Agreement Between the United States and the People’s Republic of China on Cooperation in Science and Technology.”
“In the letter, committee representatives cited reports that research partnerships between the U.S. and China organized under the Science and Technology Agreement have developed technology that could later be used against Americans” reports the Center Square.
The Science and Technology Agreement is set to expire on Aug. 27 if it is not renewed by the Biden administration. Among the partnerships is between the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and China’s Meteorological Administration. Under the STA’s authority, the groups worked to launch technologically advanced weather balloons to study the atmosphere in 2018.
“As you know, a few years later, the PRC used similar balloon technology to surveil U.S. military sites on U.S. territory,” representatives wrote in the letter. Chairman on the Select Committee Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., sent the letter to Blinken. Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and eight other members of Congress also signed the letter.
Other reports explained the collaboration between the U.S. and China regarding sensitive agricultural technologies, some of which included “clear dual-use applications, such as […] techniques for analyzing satellite and drone imagery for irrigation management.”

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

The NYPD also described the @ @ @ @ @ wearing dark clothing .

In a surprising twist, a newly unsealed court document has unveiled that Special Counsel Jack Smith managed to gain access to former President Donald J Trump’s Twitter account, including its private messages and draft tweets. This revelation comes amidst his ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoings by the ex-president.
The document indicates that Smith obtained a secret search warrant in January, permitting him to scrutinize the ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ account for potential evidence related to criminal activities. Initially, a judge imposed a hefty fine of $350,000 on Elon Musk’s social media conglomerate, previously known as Twitter, for its refusal to cooperate, as revealed in documents released last week.
Furthermore, the court order also restricted the company, now identified as X, from informing Trump about the warrant. According to sources from Smith’s special counsel team, the fear was that if Trump were alerted to the warrant, he might interfere with the investigation.
An attorney from Smith’s team explained, “There actually are concrete cognizable reasons to think that if the former president had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward.”
Following some legal wrangling, the unsealed filing discloses that Twitter ultimately provided the requested records. The court filing specifies that Smith secured a search warrant that directed Twitter to hand over ‘data and records’ linked to Trump’s Twitter account, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The content of the messages and draft tweets remains undisclosed.
As per a transcript included in the submission, a legal representative from Twitter affirmed that the company divulged ‘all direct messages, including those in ‘draft form,’ to the special counsel’s team. Moreover, access to both ‘eliminated’ and ‘retained’ direct messages from Trump was accorded to the special counsel’s team.
The former president, in response, accused Joe Biden of being responsible for the warrant and criticized Smith for what he deemed a violation of his privacy. Trump posted on Monday to voice his displeasure, stating, “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, breaking into my Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known.”
Smith’s actions have culminated in a 37-count indictment against Trump, with charges ranging from obstruction of justice in relation to classified materials to his efforts to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment also implicates Trump in spreading falsehoods and encouraging the events of January 6th, characterized as an attack on the Capitol “fueled by lies.”
In response to these developments, Smith issued a public statement underscoring that the assault on the Capitol was “fueled by lies” propagated by Trump, aiming to disrupt the core workings of the U.S. government’s electoral process. Smith asserted his commitment to a ‘swift’ trial as part of his pursuit of justice.

USCIS “has had enormous problems, going back years,” Carter said, adding that she covered the DHS for years. She then brought up whistleblowers and how they were reportedly treated during his tenure at USCIS.

In a tweet Monday, President Donald Trump asked Governor Brian Kemp to override Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on matching signatures during the state’s recount.
“Why won’t Governor @BrianKempGA, the hapless Governor of Georgia, use his emergency powers, which can be easily done, to overrule his obstinate Secretary of State, and do a match of signatures on envelopes. It will be a “goldmine” of fraud, and we will easily WIN the state….”
He added, “You may find that there are so many more ballots than there are envelopes.”

Trump said Sunday he was “ashamed” for endorsing the Republican Georgia Governor after he lost in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.
“The Governor’s done nothing,” Trump said Sunday on Fox News. “He’s done absolutely nothing. I’m ashamed that I endorsed him.”
Kemp released a statement Monday morning responding to Trump’s comments.
“Georgia law prohibits the Governor from interfering in elections. The Secretary of State, who is an elected constitutional officer, has oversight over elections that cannot be overridden by executive order. As the Governor has said repeatedly, he will continue to follow the law and encourage the Secretary of State to take reasonable steps – including a sample audit of signatures – to restore trust and address serious issues that have been raised.”
Raffensperger has said that matching the signature on the outer envelope to the absentee ballot on the inside is impossible because the ballots are separated from the envelopes when they are opened to protect voter privacy.

saraacater--2020-11-30--Facebook fact-checker forced to issue correction after Candace Owens challenged ‘false’ rating

Conservative author and commentator Candace Owens has won a legal battle against PolitiFact after the left-leaning fact-checking website labeled a video she posted as “ false ” and caused it to be censored on Facebook .
Owens posted a video on Nov. 12 about the 2020 presidential election and captioned it , “ Joe Biden is literally and legally not the President-elect .
So why is the media pretending he is ?
” The video was immediately labeled as “ false ” and every person who shared the video received a Facebook alert that they had shared “ false ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Weeks ago , @ Facebook censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that @ JoeBiden is NOT the President-elect .
So I got lawyers involved .
Conclusion ?
@ PolitiFact uncensored the post & admitted that they LIED by rating my post false .
The fact-checkers are lying for Democrats , ” Owens wrote on Twitter .
PolitiFact removed their “ false ” rating , retracted an article about why Owens ’ video was allegedly false and offered an added correction admitting their mistake .
PolitiFact said in a statement , “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ false in our capacity as a third-party fact-checker for Facebook .
On Nov. 20 , an appeal to that decision was made on behalf of Ms. Owens .
PolitiFact approved the appeal on Nov. 20 , determined that a correction was appropriate , and removed the false rating.
” Owens is currently suing fact-checkers from USAToday and Lead Stories , for similar reasons .
According to Owens , the fact-checking has led to her Facebook page being demonetized .
“ It is time to fact-check the fact-checkers , ” Owens said .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suckers through discovery and figure out what the relationship is that they have with Facebook.
” Owens launched a website , called FactCheckZuck.com , to help raise funds for her legal battle .
“ Our freedoms are being stripped away .
The overlords of Big Tech are determining what Americans can and can not say , share , like , and post .
Support our legal efforts today as we fight back against Facebook ’ s fact-checkers , confronting those who are suppressing free speech , thought , and expression across our great @ @ @ @ @ @ @

Trump legal team pushes back against AG Barr’s statement to AP that he found no widespread election fraud

Trump legal team pushes back against AG Barr ’ s statement to AP that he found no widespread election fraud Department of Justice Attorney General William Barr told the Associated Press Tuesday that the DOJ , which has been investigating claims of voter fraud , has not yet uncovered any evidence of widespread voter fraud that could ultimately change the outcome of the 2020 general election .
Barr made these comments despite the fact that they directly contradict those made by President Donald Trump and his attorneys , who are investigating voter fraud claims across the country and asking State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the votes .
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani , who is leading Trump ’ s legal team in their fight against voter fraud , shot back at Barr , questioning the validity of Barr ’ s statement regarding an FBI investigation into voter fraud .
“ With all due respect to the Attorney General , there hasn ’ t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation , ” stated Giuliani in a press release Tuesday .
“ We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud .

Again , with the greatest respect to the Attorney General , his opinion appears to be without any knowledge or investigation of the substantial irregularities and evidence of systemic fraud.

When asked by host Sara A.

” He then focused on the allegations and his belief that they should @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think that it ’ s important for not just this election , but for the next one , that we get the answers [ … ] to questions people have right now about whether there was fraud , about whether this was in fact not just a vote that we know was marred with irregularities , but where there was also cheating.
” “ But , ” Sexton emphasized , “ they ’ ve got to produce the goods on our side .

This story has been updated to include Sen. Lindsey Graham’s statements
U.S. Attorney General William Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that in October he had appointed Connecticut’s U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel under the same federal statute that oversaw special counsel Robert Mueller during the initial probe into claims of Russian election interference.
Furthermore, he told The AP that Durham’s investigation into the origins of that initial Russia probe has been tightening its scope to focus more on the conduct of FBI agents who worked on the Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane.
This relates to text messages of two FBI agents assigned to the probe in which they criticized President Donald Trump and for which Mueller removed them from the probe’s team. Republicans have claimed that these texts, which were publicized in December 2017, are proof that Mueller’s Russia probe was politically motivated against Trump.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after Attorney General William Barr notified the committee that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham with the powers and authority of a special counsel.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters Tuesday in a press release that he agreed with Barr’s decision to appoint Durham as a Special Counsel in the investigation related to the “Department of Justice and FBI’s conduct in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.”
Graham said that ‘based on hearings we held in the Senate Judiciary Committee, it is obvious the system failed and the FISA Court’s rebuke of the Department of Justice and FBI was more than warranted.”
The chairman stated that the only way to restore credibility to the DOJ and FBI “after this disgraceful episode, people have to be held accountable – either through criminal prosecution or administrative action.”
“I have complete confidence that Mr. Durham is the right man at the right time to be appointed special counsel,” Graham said. “I hope his work product will help restore confidence in the Department of Justice and FBI after the debacle called Crossfire Hurricane.”

Additionally, Barr has provided extra protection to Durham, The AP also reported, giving him the authority of a special counsel to complete the work without being easily fired.
Under federal regulations, according to The AP, a special counsel can only be fired by the U.S. attorney general and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty, or conflict of interest. On top of that, an attorney general must document such reasons in writing.
