saraacater--2020-10-09--2020 ELECTION: 50,000 Ohio voters got the wrong absentee ballots

President Donald Trump has warned about election fraud for months and the problems plagued with universal mail-in-voting .
We are seeing those concerns come to fruition , when Franklin County , Ohio ’ s election board announced that 50,000 voters received an incorrect absentee ballot this week .
Those ballots account for almost 21 % of the ballots mailed out this week in Franklin County , The President immediately tweeted on Friday , after his much anticipated radio rally with conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh , “ Breaking News : 50,000 Ohio Voters getting wrong absentee ballots .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
!
!
” The information was issued in a press release from the election board .
With only 25 days left until the election , the election board had to rush to start processing and printing ballot replacements to all individual voters who received the wrong ballots .
The officials noted that the ballots will be sent through the U.S .
Postal Service within 72 hours to the voters .
“ We want to make it clear that every voter who received an inaccurate ballot will receive a corrected ballot , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ noted that “ stringent tracking measures are in place to guarantee that a voter can only cast one vote.
” For information on the issue and to verify the information on your voter ballot please go to the Franklin County , Ohio government website .

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.

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:
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.

saraacater--2020-10-10--STUNNING: Biden says voters ‘DON’T’ deserve to know if he’ll pack the SCOTUS

STUNNING : Biden says voters ‘ DON ’ T ’ deserve to know if he ’ ll pack the SCOTUS Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden again refused to answer whether he would pack the Supreme Court if elected in November , even when directly asked by a local reporter on the campaign trail .
It was the second time on camera Biden has angrily said he wouldn ’ t answer the question .
This time , however , he said voters don ’ t deserve to know his answer .
Packing the SCOTUS , is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ add more justices to the Supreme Court .
It ’ s become a topic of discussion since President Donald Trump announced he was nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg .
The reporter informs Biden that viewers have been asking him for days if the former Vice President is considering packing the highest court in the land .
Currently there are nine Supreme Court Justices .
Biden proceeds to tell the reporter : “ You ’ ve been asked by the viewers who are probably Republicans who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to talk about what they ’ re doing to the court right now ?
The reporter then says , “ don ’ t the voters deserve to know ?
And Biden sharply responds “ No , they don ’ t ” but then a sound similar to the word “ deserve ” is uttered by Biden and then trails off from the end of his sentence .
“ He ’ d love me to talk about , I ’ ve already said something , court , court pack ” says Biden , not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was talking about voters so it doesn ’ t appear to make sense .
“ He ’ d love that to be the discussion instead of what he ’ s doing now , ” said Biden .
I ’ m assuming he was talking about President Donald Trump , even though the reporter never once mentioned the President in this particular question .

Officials found an illegal Chinese biotech laboratory being conducted in a warehouse in Reedley, California. The Chinese medical company Prestige Biotech “was the largest creditor of the now defunct med-tech company Universal Meditech and took control of it following bankruptcy. The Chinese-run company did not have a license to operate in California” reports National Review.
Wang Zhaolin, a spokesman for Prestige Biotech, told the San Joaquin Valley Sun that the mice “were genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid-19 virus,” the newspaper reported. Court documents further showed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducted tests on the more than 800 chemicals found at the site and that over 20 infectious agents were found present, including Hepatitis B and C, streptococcus pneumonia, chlamydia, rubella, and Herpes 1 and 5.
The investigation began in April after a garden hose was illegally attached to the back of the building. Biological agents from the building were destroyed July 7 following a legal abatement process by the Fresno County Public Health Department.
Foreign Desk News reports:
According to reports, the tenant of the illegal lab was Prestige BioTech; a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with the company’s President, Xiuquin Yao, who told officials that Prestige BioTech transferred assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc. (UMI), to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went bankrupt.
Another official from the company, Wang Zhaolin, told investigators the mice were genetically engineered to catch and spread the COVID-19 virus.
The lab had “around 30 refrigerators, operational and non-operational freezers, incubators, and medical testing supplies. Upon searching the building, officials found 800 different chemicals and have yet to identify all of them.”

” Click below to listen to Andrew Weissmann interview on MSNBC :

In an unexpected turn of events, the city of Goodhue in southeastern Minnesota finds itself without a police force as the chief and other department members tendered their resignations.
Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck conveyed the city’s determination to move forward despite the setback, assuring the public of continued police coverage.
Mayor Buck emphasized, “I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue. That is not an issue.” Police Chief Josh Smith, who will remain in his position until August 24th, attributed the force’s dissolution to the inability to recruit new officers, according to reports from Fox News.
“This has been three weeks now, we have zero applicants, and I have zero prospects,” Smith disclosed on July 26. “I’ve called every PD around for the youngest guys out there, getting into the game. There’s nobody getting into the game.”
Chris Schmit, a Goodhue City Council member, praised the police force for their commitment to upholding law and order in the city, underscoring their invaluable contribution to the community’s safety. “I can probably speak for everyone when I say that they provided excellent safety and security to our community. And the small-town policing that they did, we want that back.”
Smith bared a stark truth to the Goodhue City Council, unraveling the crux of the department’s recruitment turmoil. The resounding echo of low wages and the unrelenting surge of rivalry from neighboring larger communities reverberated through his words. With an urgency born of necessity, he underscored the imperative for swift and substantial transformation to reorient this daunting trajectory.
In a state that has witnessed significant policing developments, including the George Floyd case, Minneapolis serves as a prominent backdrop. The latest ex-Minneapolis police officer convicted in Floyd’s death received a sentence of four years and nine months on August 7. Prior to his sentencing, Tou Thao, the former officer, shared a personal reflection on his faith journey while incarcerated.
Despite repeated attempts, the Goodhue Police Department, the mayor, and city council members remained unavailable for comments.
This unexpected loss of an entire police force underscores the challenges many smaller communities face in maintaining law enforcement personnel amidst increasing demands and competition from larger urban centers.

Trump says he will check on reports of UFOs , ‘ I ’ ve heard that…so I ’ ll check on that.
’ President Donald Trump told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo that he will investigate reports of unidentified advanced aircraft witnessed visually by military personnel and captured by the United States military on radar .
The Sara Carter Show podcast has been interviewing experts in this field and here ’ s what some have had to say .
The topic used to be treated as a laughing matter , that is until recently , when the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ seriously by the military .
Moreover , there have been a number of these Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon captured in recent years and more and more witnesses that can ’ t be dismissed have come forward .
In fact , this year the Pentagon first disclosed its secret program and made some of the evidence its special unit had collected on its UFO investigations public in an expose in The New York Times .
“ Well , I ’ m going to have to check on that , I mean , ” said Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that , I heard that two days ago , so I ’ ll check on that .
I ’ ll take a good look at that.

Musk answered on Twitter , but his answer was a bit cynical saying , “ I have seen no evidence of an advanced civilization visiting Earth .

” However , the Department of Defense in the United States , along with intelligence and military agencies around the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has reportedly interfered with nations defense and military systems .
Last month , on The Sara Carter Show podcast , I invited Luis Elizondo to speak with me about the ongoing work inside the Pentagon to identify these aircraft .

He has also served as the senior counterintelligence officer for the Department of Defense , working throughout the world in places like Afghanistan , the Middle East @ @ @ @ @ @ @ few .
Elizondo is also a host and investigator on the History Channel ’ s new television documentary series called Unidentified : Inside the America ’ s UFO Investigation .
Elizondo , who still retains a high level security clearance with the U.S. government , went into extraordinary detail with me on several podcasts .
He was straight forward about the dangers for the nation ’ s national security if the government ignores the hundreds of reports from accredited pilots , military personnel and regular citizens of these unidentified aerial vehicles over the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these unexplained aerial phenomena in historical context as well and why modern technology may be the reason the government has been more open about what it is investigating .
Elizondo said “ the American people either may or may not be surprised that we spend each year we as American taxpayers ” on trying to identify what is happening in the sky ’ s above our planet .
He said “ forget about internationally just us billions of dollars with a NASA budget billions with a B , in order to send probes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ etc .
and moons to in the hopes of maybe kind of possibly finding some sort of microbial life ” “ And then you have other efforts such as SETI , SETI Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ” which was “ actually part of their mission to find extraterrestrial intelligence.
” “ And at one point , again , millions of taxpayer dollars were used to try to find these electronic signatures in these perhaps EXO worlds , that that exists beyond our solar system , ” he said > “ So hopefully , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signs of life .
So for so for us to to engage in this effort as a country .
I don ’ t think it ’ s unusual .
There ’ s a long sea history of us doing this in the past and frankly doing it even currently.
” Elizondo told me “ So what we did in the Pentagon is simply that using that same line of logic , and ask the question , okay , we have pilots that are seeing interesting things in the sky , we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we ’ re picking them up on radar .
Is it possible that that there is potentially potentially some of this , this , this this life , right here on this planet ?

“ And what you will notice unless you really look carefully , all you see is this black vastness of space , and some We ’ re in the middle of that black vastness of space , you ’ ll find this little tiny , maybe four pixels , blue dot , and that is everything we have ever known , everything we have ever done.

saraacater--2020-10-13--Trump: Dr. Fauci’s ‘pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications’

Trump : Dr. Fauci ’ s ‘ pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications ’ Dr. Anthony Fauci , one of the nation ’ s top epidemiologists who ’ s a member of the President ’ s COVID-19 task force , has been in a tense battle with the Trump Campaign over a recent advertisement featuring what appeared to be his past praise of President Trump ’ s response to the virus .
However , Dr. Fauci argues that his comments were “ taken out of context ” and is asking that the commercial be taken down .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Twitter , saying his “ pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications.
” The President was referring to Dr. Fauci ’ s early advisory for a nationwide lockdown to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 , but also maybe his less than perfect first pitch at the opening baseball game of the Major League Baseball season .
At least when it comes to lockdowns , the World Health Organization , which also initially advocated for such a response , has recently reversed its early advisory saying it shouldn ’ t be a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , adding that the damage of shutting down may be even more devastating to world economies .
“ WHO no longer likes lockdowns-just came out against , ” Trump added in his Tuesday tweet .
“ Trump was right .
We saved 2,000,000 USA lives !
!

” Dr. Fauci on Monday night told CNN ’ s Jake Tapper that the commercial should be taken down , calling the ad “ dissapointing .

Trump Jr.: ‘WTF’ Southwest Airlines passenger removed for pulling mask down to eat peanuts. Oh, he was also wearing ‘Black Voices For Trump’ hat

Trump Jr. : ‘ WTF ’ Southwest Airlines passenger removed for pulling mask down to eat peanuts .
Oh , he was also wearing ‘ Black Voices For Trump ’ hat Flying has become absolutely insane .
All you need to do is watch this video posted to Twitter and filmed by a passenger on a recent Southwest Airlines flight to understand what I ’ m saying .
It appears to show another passenger with a ‘ Black Voices For Trump ‘ cap being asked to get off the aircraft for allegedly having his required COVID-19 face mask temporarily down @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the video was eating peanuts at the time his mask was down , or the fact that he was wearing a ‘ Black Voices for Trump ’ cap and a Trump face mask .
The latter half of the information above appears to be the suspected reason for asking the man to leave the flight .
It ’ s like extortion on a flight .
I actually hate flying now because anything you do or say can get you kicked off a flight .
No one complains anymore because of that very reason @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even need to speak to get kicked off – just eat some peanuts and wear a Trump hat .
The person filming the incident before the flight had taken off asked the flight attendant repeatedly what the airline regulations were for eating on a flight .
She specifically asked if there was a rule against pulling the mask down to eat .
The flight attendant didn ’ t appear to want to answer the passengers questions in the video .
Southwest Airlines could not be immediately reached for comment .
This story will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the airline responds .
I remember the days when Southwest was fun .
Some people in the video speculated it wasn ’ t about the food but about the passengers open support for President Trump that led to the incident .
Donald Trump Jr. responded with disgust , as did I after seeing the viral video on Twitter .
“ WTF ?
?
?
This is disgusting , ” said Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter .
“ I ’ ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I did it on a southwest flight earlier this week.
” Still , it ’ s hard to believe in America that something like this could happen but when you watch it on video it ’ s daunting .
In fact , many people responded to the post on Twitter , questioning why the gentleman was forced off the flight when almost everyone flying during these COVID-19 restrictions can lower their masks to eat .
But hey , remember it was Southwest Airlines that pulled a Texas family off a flight when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with autism , refused to wear a mask on a flight within the state .

Flying has become absolutely insane. All you need to do is watch this video posted to Twitter and filmed by a passenger on a recent Southwest Airlines flight to understand what I’m saying. It appears to show another passenger with a ‘Black Voices For Trump‘ cap being asked to get off the aircraft for allegedly having his required COVID-19 face mask temporarily down.
Never mind that the man in the video was eating peanuts at the time his mask was down, or the fact that he was wearing a ‘Black Voices for Trump’ cap and a Trump face mask. The latter half of the information above appears to be the suspected reason for asking the man to leave the flight.
“WTF??? This is disgusting,” said Donald Trump Jr. “I’ve been on a thousand flights in the last few months and everyone lowers their masks to eat and drink. I did it on a southwest flight earlier this week,” Donald Trump Jr.
