On Sunday ’ s airing of “ The Next Revolution , ” Sara A. Carter explained the battle the left is waging on America , saying that the American people must fight to uphold the constitution in order to save the country and the world .
“ We have to realize that we ’ re in a battle , ” Carter told host Steve Hilton .
“ This isn ’ t a battle just against Trump .
And I ’ ve said this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a battle against the American people that voted for Trump against the establishment.
” She continued , “ The establishment is what wants to stop this .
They are trying to teach everyone a lesson , and unfortunately , the establishment has a mainstream media on their side that is working in conjunction with them.
” Concluding her statement , Carter explained the American values at stake and said if the Constitution isn ’ t sustained , then the United States of America and the world will have ‘ nothing left.
’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as Americans to stand up , to stand up to that in such a way peacefully and defend our Constitution because she is the one thing that we have.. , ” Carter explained .

And , guess what , the rest of the world has nothing left either because there is no place on this planet like the United States of America .
”

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.

Bill Maher gets Zinged by Jenna Ellis on ‘ Beijing Biden ’ HBO ” s ‘ Real Time ’ host Bill Maher sparred with President Donald Trump ’ s legal advisor Jenna Ellis on Friday , as she outwitted the comedian on “ Beijing Biden.

Would you acknowledge that ?
” Of course , he was referring to the November 3 , presidential election and the media ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t flinch , even if being on the liberal HBO show could be a little nerve wracking she didn ’ t show it .
She stuck to the argument regarding the irregularities during the election based on the facts .

Moreover , she reminded the late night talk host , a number of the preliminary election results are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple states and those lawsuits are now before the judges in courts of law .
Maher , however , couldn ’ t help himself and tried throwing Ellis a fast ball that she promptly crushed .
“ Why do you think so many people on the right , including people like Rupert Murdoch , Karl Rove , Erdoğan – the strong man of Turkey – the Pope , China now congratulated Biden , why have so many people come over to this idea , ok , America had a free and fair election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s the way it works , you win some , you lose some , why , ” asked Maher .

King Newsom Dethroned : Judge rules he overstepped authority in CA , by mandating vote-by-mail ballots Judge Sarah Heckman of the Sutter County Superior Court said Governor Gavin Newsom lacked the authority needed to amend or change existing elections law .
Newsom did so under the guise of an emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic .
However , Heckman said that wasn ’ t even reason enough to trample election law with the Executive Order that required all Californians receive vote-by-mail ballots for the Nov. 3 general election .
The executive action was taken as part of the California Emergency @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gives Newsom special powers during a public emergency — in this case the novel coronavirus pandemic .
Newsom signed an executive order that mandated all registered voters receive vote-by-mail ballots and allowed counties to reduce precincts on Election Day if they provide in-person voting centers for at least three days prior as a way to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 .
Think about what happened across the nation as Democratic governors and those that supported the push for mail-in ballots opened the door to fraud and election night havoc .
Newsom , like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frighten people enough to effort the emergency orders to send out universal ballots to voters , suggesting it was too dangerous to vote in person .
They used the epidemic to push lawsuits across the country early on to ensure that their loosey goosey provisions would be implemented at the expense of securing the election .

In fact , the CDC issued a health memorandum before the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in person as long as everyone wore a mask and maintained the six feet of social distancing .
Now , weeks after the election , a judge rules that Newsom didn ’ t have the authority .
Of course , he didn ’ t .
It doesn ’ t matter now , because the election is long past .
Think about it , the Democrats didn ’ t have to bother going through the state legislatures but instead , many they figured out that they could bypass it by taking these issues straight @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Newsom ’ s executive order that was issued before the legislature passed a similar law .
See how he did it .
It was a two for one .
Newsom made sure he issued an executive order he had no right to issue and then he insured that his friends in the legislature would go along with it , in case anyone figured out earlier that he far exceeded his authority .

saraacater--2020-11-16--Reuters: Trump poised to settle for partial Afghan withdrawal, despite Pentagon shakeup

Reuters : Trump poised to settle for partial Afghan withdrawal , despite Pentagon shakeup Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali of Reuters have reported on Monday that , according to sources , President Donald Trump may settle for a partial withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan .
An anonymous U.S. official told Reuters that the military was expecting formal orders in the coming days to go down to about 2,500 troops in Afghanistan by early next year from around 4,500 currently .
Another anonymous official , this time from NATO , reportedly also cited expectations of a 1,500 to 2,000 troop decline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and replaced him with Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller .
The president appointed other top Pentagon officials last week , Reuters said , after longstanding concerns that his priorities were not being dealt with urgently enough at the Defense Department .
According to Reuters , these concerns included the ambitious goal of ending the 19-year-old war in Afghanistan before Christmas .
Those who oppose the longest war in the history of the U.S. were receptive this goal , but Trump ’ s critics have warned that completely pulling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ violence from Taliban militants that has been disrupting Afghanistan .
An anonymous senior U.S. defense official told Reuters that Afghanistan has been featured in a number of introductory calls by Miller to U.S. allies ’ defense ministers and chiefs of defense .
“ It was a part of many of them because it is of great importance to our NATO allies , our allies in the region and also just global security and protecting the American homeland , ” the unnamed official said .
But the official , speaking after the calls with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not push a withdrawal faster than conditions on the ground allow .
Furthermore , U.S. and Afghan officials are concerned by the ongoing violence by Taliban insurgents and persistent Taliban links to the terrorist group al-Qaeda .
Following the September 11th attacks in 2001 that al-Qaeda carried out , it was those ties between the two groups that triggered the initial U.S. military intervention in October 2001 .
Nearly 2,400 American troops and over a thousand coalition troops have died in fighting in Afghanistan since its start .
Some U.S. military officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , have privately urged Trump against going to zero at this point and want to keep U.S. troop levels at around 4,500 for now , per Reuters .
“ The president has acted appropriately in this , has never said : ‘ Hey , we ’ re going to zero .
Let ’ s go tomorrow.
’ It has always been a conditions-based effort and that effort continues , ” the senior U.S. defense official said , without explicitly detailing future drawdown plans .
However , U.S. officials say Trump has yet to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On Monday the first U.S. official said to Reuters that the Pentagon had told commanders to start planning for the more moderate reduction to 2,500 troops .

Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali of Reuters have reported on Monday that, according to sources, President Donald Trump may settle for a partial withdrawal of forces from Afghanistan.
An anonymous U.S. official told Reuters that the military was expecting formal orders in the coming days to go down to about 2,500 troops in Afghanistan by early next year from around 4,500 currently.
Another anonymous official, this time from NATO, reportedly also cited expectations of a 1,500 to 2,000 troop decline.
This comes one week after Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper and replaced him with Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller. The president appointed other top Pentagon officials last week, Reuters said, after longstanding concerns that his priorities were not being dealt with urgently enough at the Defense Department.
According to Reuters, these concerns included the ambitious goal of ending the 19-year-old war in Afghanistan before Christmas. Those who oppose the longest war in the history of the U.S. were receptive this goal, but Trump’s critics have warned that completely pulling out troops could be reckless amid continuing violence from Taliban militants that has been disrupting Afghanistan.
An anonymous senior U.S. defense official told Reuters that Afghanistan has been featured in a number of introductory calls by Miller to U.S. allies’ defense ministers and chiefs of defense.
“It was a part of many of them because it is of great importance to our NATO allies, our allies in the region and also just global security and protecting the American homeland,” the unnamed official said.
But the official, speaking after the calls with allies, suggested to Reuters that Trump would not push a withdrawal faster than conditions on the ground allow.
Furthermore, U.S. and Afghan officials are concerned by the ongoing violence by Taliban insurgents and persistent Taliban links to the terrorist group al-Qaeda.
Following the September 11th attacks in 2001 that al-Qaeda carried out, it was those ties between the two groups that triggered the initial U.S. military intervention in October 2001. Nearly 2,400 American troops and over a thousand coalition troops have died in fighting in Afghanistan since its start.
Some U.S. military officials, citing U.S. counter-terrorism priorities in Afghanistan, have privately urged Trump against going to zero at this point and want to keep U.S. troop levels at around 4,500 for now, per Reuters.
“The president has acted appropriately in this, has never said: ‘Hey, we’re going to zero. Let’s go tomorrow.’ It has always been a conditions-based effort and that effort continues,” the senior U.S. defense official said, without explicitly detailing future drawdown plans.
However, U.S. officials say Trump has yet to issue orders to carry that withdrawal out. On Monday the first U.S. official said to Reuters that the Pentagon had told commanders to start planning for the more moderate reduction to 2,500 troops.
Additionally, the aforementioned NATO official said to Reuters that the belief was the United States could soon announce a drawdown to 2,500 to 3,000 troops by Christmas.
NATO allies also in Afghanistan are very reliant on the U.S. for logistical support, which U.S. officials told Reuters would make a total withdrawal at this moment difficult for the U.S. military to execute.
Taliban militants have asked that Trump stick to an agreement made back in February that would see U.S. troops withdrawn by May 2021 as long as certain security guarantees are upheld.

saraacater--2020-11-16--Rep. Biggs asks for ‘100 percent’ audit of Maricopa County ballots

Rep. Andy Biggs ( R-Ariz. ) on Friday co-signed a letter to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors asking for a “ 100 percent ” audit of the county ’ s votes , despite the margin between the two presidential candidates being outside that which would automatically trigger a recount .
This comes after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Kiley threw out a GOP lawsuit on Friday that claimed “ potentially thousands ” of Arizona voters were disenfranchised on November 3 , alleging that election workers had overridden ballots with possible “ overvotes.
” This occurs when voters mark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ race on their ballots .
Friday ’ s letter , also co-signed by Arizona GOP Reps. Paul Gossar and David Schweikert , cited affidavits from hundreds of voters claiming that their ballots were discounted .
These affidavits , however , were dismissed by Judge Kiley , saying , “ The fact that your process for obtaining these affidavits yielded affidavits that you yourself found to be false does not support a finding that this process generates reliable evidence.
” The letter also used the narrow vote margin between President Donald Trump and former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ audit , despite the margin not being narrow enough for a recount .
Despite this loss , Biggs ’ team insists that the legal challenges against the election results continue in Arizona , saying that the Dominion Voting System software has raised red flags in other parts of the country .
Allegations surrounding this software have received heavy scrutiny .
When asked for a comment , a spokesperson for Congressman Biggs said that “ The overvotes lawsuit wasn ’ t the only thing that has been raised in Arizona ” and that “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dominion service for ballots , and as you know , that has raised some red flags in other parts of the country.
” “ As Rep Biggs said in his statement : let ’ s leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of accountability and transparency , ” the spokesperson added .

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.

saraacater--2020-11-15--Newsom Dethroned: Judge rules he overstepped authority in CA, by mandating vote-by-mail ballots

Newsom Dethroned : Judge rules he overstepped authority in CA , by mandating vote-by-mail ballots Judge Sarah Heckman of the Sutter County Superior Court said Governor Gavin Newsom lacked the authority needed to amend or change existing elections law .
Newsom did so under the guise of an emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic .
However , Heckman said that wasn ’ t even reason enough to trample election law with the Executive Order that required all Californians receive vote-by-mail ballots for the Nov. 3 general election .
The executive action was taken as part of the California Emergency Services @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsom special powers during a public emergency — in this case the novel coronavirus pandemic .
Newsom signed an executive order that mandated all registered voters receive vote-by-mail ballots and allowed counties to reduce precincts on Election Day if they provide in-person voting centers for at least three days prior as a way to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 .
Think about what happened across the nation as Democratic governors and those that supported the push for mail-in ballots opened the door to fraud and election night havoc .
Newsom , like others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people enough to effort the emergency orders to send out universal ballots to voters , suggesting it was too dangerous to vote in person .
They used the epidemic to push lawsuits across the country early on to ensure that their loosey goosey provisions would be implemented at the expense of securing the election .
However , the CDC didn ’ t seem to think it was an absolute emergency and didn ’ t require people to stay at home .
In fact , the CDC issued a health memorandum before the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person as long as everyone wore a mask and maintained the six feet of social distancing .
Now , weeks after the election , a judge rules that Newsom didn ’ t have the authority .
Of course , he didn ’ t .
It doesn ’ t matter now , because the election is long past .
Think about it , the Democrats didn ’ t have to bother going through the state legislatures but instead , many they figured out that they could bypass it by taking these issues straight to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Newsom ’ s executive order that was issued before the legislature passed a similar law .
See how he did it .
It was a two for one .
Newsom made sure he issued an executive order he had no right to issue and then he insured that his friends in the legislature would go along with it , in case anyone figured out earlier that he far exceeded his authority .
There were only two assembly members — James Gallagher , R-Yuba City , and Kevin Kiley , R-Rocklin , sued , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authority to issue the order .
Wow , two Republicans held him accountable .
The 2020 general election was mired in corruption and COVID-19 was used as a tool by the Democrats to ensure they would muddy up the waters to give media President elect Joe Biden every fighting chance against to steal the win from President Trump .

Give it time, you’ll see.
Arlington National Cemetery is outdoors and the ceremony is outdoors. The events can always be modified by the groups who will all be wearing masks.
But that is not enough for those imposing these restrictions. They are afraid that even if one person comes down with a light case of COVID-19 the left will target them and call them super-spreaders.
It’s a fear of being criticized by those charged with virtue signaling and it’s also a way to show support for those imposing restrictions across the nation- it’s a way of saying I’m one of you.

The COVID-19 pandemic should not allow our government to sidestep or pillage our American freedoms granted in the Constitution.
Read Arlington National Cemetery Press Release Below:
Due to the current COVID-19 situation across the nation and within the National Capital Region, it is with great regret that Arlington National Cemetery is canceling Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery and the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home Cemetery on December 19, 2020.
Following a thorough analysis of the annual Wreaths Across America Wreaths-In event this year, and in close collaboration with the Joint Task Force, National Capital Region, we determined that we could not implement sufficient controls to mitigate the risks associated with hosting an event of this size under current and forecasted infection and transmission rates, while still conducting a respectful and honorable public event.
“We did not make this decision lightly. Despite the controls developed to disperse potential crowds in time and space, and required personal safety protocols, we determined that hosting any event of this scale risked compromising our ability to accomplish our core mission of laying veterans and their eligible family members to rest,” stated Karen Durham-Aguilera, Executive Director, Office of Army National Cemeteries and Arlington National Cemetery. “We reviewed various options to safely execute this long standing event and held numerous consultations with WAA leadership and local government and public health officials. We understand that although this is disappointing for so many, we could no longer envision a way to safely accommodate the large number of visitors we typically host during this event.”
ANC’s most sacred mission to lay our nation’s veterans and their family members to rest continues during this COVID-19 environment. In order to ensure that our primary mission takes place, and to protect our workforce and visitors, the cemetery is taking this proactive step to adhere to the guidance outlined by the CDC to prevent contracting or spreading respiratory illnesses like the flu or COVID-19.
“Our strong hope is to be able to resume hosting this great event next year in 2021,” said Charles “Ray” Alexander, Superintendent, Arlington National Cemetery. “While many of our families and visitors associate the wreath event with the holiday season, we thank all the thousands of volunteers who had planned to take this time to Honor, Remember, and Explore those who are laid to rest at our nation’s most hallowed ground.
