According to Election Day results from the Rabbit Hash Historical Society, Wilbur Beast, a 6-month-old French bulldog, won the race with a record-breaking 13,143 votes.
Two other candidates — a Beagle named Jack Rabbit and Poppy, a Golden Retriever — trailed the newly elected mayor’s tally and were installed as “Rabbit Hash Ambassadors.”
NBC News reported Wilbur has assumed the seat previously held by pit bull Brynn since 2016.
The yearly Rabbit Hash election, a fundraising tradition since the 1990s, kicked off on Sept. 18, raising a dollar for each vote attached to one of the cuddly candidates. This year, the initiative raised over $22,985.
Fox News reported, “Rabbit Hash is known for its historic general store that dates back to the 19th century, but it was destroyed in a 2016 fire. The store has since been rebuilt, and the mayoral ‘election’ is a fundraiser in which each dollar donated counts as a vote for the candidate of the donor’s choice.”
“Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, has never had an actual person or human as a mayor,” said Amy Noland, Mayor Wilbur’s human counterpart, who put his biscuit into the ring for the seat.
According to the historical society election rules, a voter “can vote early and vote often, we don’t require an ID and there is no age requirement.”
On its Facebook page, the historical society described its role “trustee and owner of Rabbit Hash,” having purchased the tranquil “early 19th century river hamlet” on the Ohio River for a “nominal amount.”
Former first lady Laura Bush designated the Kentucky location, also on the National Register of Historic Places, as a Preserve America Community, the organization said.
“It [Rabbit Hash] still looks much the same as it has for each preceding generation,” the historical society wrote.

As votes continue to be counted and a Joe Biden presidency becomes increasingly likely, it’s important for conservatives to remember that the 2020 elections had some positive outcomes.
When it comes to the radical left, Americans voted firmly against two of their most heinous propositions.
Voters in Dem-controlled California and Illinois rejected extremely progressive ballot measures.

westernjournal--2020-11-07--Pelosi Cheers Biden ‘Mandate,’ Ignores That 2020 Is One of Closest Elections in US History

Most Americans were glued to the TV for at least some of the past hundred or so hours watching election results .
I would venture that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has probably watched more of it than the average American .
So , maybe she was watching at some point in the coverage that we all missed in which Joe Biden had secured a “ mandate ” for his agenda .
Or maybe she missed the point .
Whatever the case , Pelosi came out during a Friday news conference and told America she was “ so officially pleased with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spun a close election as a landslide of sorts .
“ This morning , it is clear that the Biden‑Harris ticket will win the White House .
This election is historic , propelled by the biggest vote ever in the history of our country , 73.8 million and counting Americans , the most votes ever received by any presidential ticket in history , ” Pelosi said .
TRENDING : There 's Still the Possibility of a 269-269 Electoral College Tie - Here 's What Would Happen Next “ President‑elect Biden has a strong @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ll have a strong Democratic House with him and many Democrats in the Senate .
This has been a life‑or‑death fight for the fate of our democracy , as he says , ‘ the soul of our country.
’ We did not win every battle in the House , but we did win the war.
” That ’ s a curious statement given the facts of the matter .
As of Saturday morning , major news organizations called the race in Biden ’ s favor .
However , The Western Journal has not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numerous court challenges and potential recounts that must be resolved before any state can certify its results , and therefore before any responsible news outlet can call several contested states for Biden or for President Donald Trump.
” As for a “ strong Democratic House , ” ask the other members of the Democratic caucus , who apparently shouted and cried during a post-mortem conference call in which Pelosi and her top lieutenants tried to wrangle with a disappointing result on Election Day .
For instance , take Rep. Abigail Spanberger , a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claimed victory despite the fact her race hasn ’ t been officially called as of Saturday morning .
According to The Washington Post , she reacted “ heatedly ” to the party ’ s messaging .
“ We need to not ever use the word ‘ socialist ’ or ‘ socialism ’ ever again .
.
.
.
We lost good members because of that , ” she added .
“ If we are classifying Tuesday as a success .
.
.
we will get f—ing torn apart in 2022.
” Rep. Rashida @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the party , angrily told those upset with the party ’ s underwhelming performance and problematic messaging that “ it sounds like you are saying stop pushing for what black folks want.
” And then , according to Politico , you had the lachrymose Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida , who was moved to tears by Democrats who were “ tweet [ ing ] ” barbs at one another .
In short , does this sound strong to you ?
In the Senate , meanwhile , the Democrats have managed a net @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predicted to pick up several more .
Their hopes now rest upon winning two Georgia runoffs , something that would be difficult even without an energized Republican base .
This , again , wasn ’ t the predicted outcome , particularly with vulnerable GOP incumbents like Sens .
Susan Collins of Maine , Joni Ernst of Iowa and Thom Tillis of North Carolina all appearing to have held on to their seats .
And then there are Pelosi ’ s statements about Biden and how he “ has a strong mandate to lead.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , all of them misleading .
Sure , Biden will have “ the biggest vote ever in the history of our country , 73.8 million and counting Americans.
” That ’ s because there was a high turnout in this election .
President Trump also has over 70 million votes , which would mean he would have the biggest popular vote for any loser in presidential history .
But that ’ s not what matters — and if Biden holds serve in the states where he ’ s currently ahead , he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , according to the Washington Examiner .
That ’ s the same total that Donald Trump won back in 2016 .
( Two individuals were faithless electors , leaving him with 304 votes in the final tally . )
I know it ’ s been four years , but remember the mockery and derision when he tweeted this out ?
This wasn ’ t Trump ’ s best moment , especially considering that was close to the 10 tightest presidential races of all time .
No .
10 is 1968 , where Richard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the electoral votes with 301 , with Hubert Humphrey taking 191 and George Wallace winning 46 .
If Biden doesn ’ t win one of the states where he ’ s ahead , it could well be a lot closer than that .
In the case of Trump , however , he hit 306 with no political experience , no political machine , roughly half the cash of his opponent and the media arrayed against him .
Joe Biden had every advantage possible in 2020 and the best estimate is that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , having grossly underperformed at both the state and national level .
This was supposed to be a leveling “ blue wave ” election .
It wasn ’ t .
If the Democrats don ’ t pick up both Georgia seats , there are questions about Biden ’ s mandate to even get a cabinet filled out , much less to pursue his legislative agenda .
The House Democrats are about an inch away from a socially distanced “ Lord of the Flies ” on their conference calls .
It ’ s for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from behind a mask since I doubt even she could have given that mandate talk with a straight face .

As for a “strong Democratic House,” ask the other members of the Democratic caucus, who apparently shouted and cried during a post-mortem conference call in which Pelosi and her top lieutenants tried to wrangle with a disappointing result on Election Day.
For instance, take Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a more centrist Virginia Democrat who’s claimed victory despite the fact her race hasn’t been officially called as of Saturday morning. According to The Washington Post, she reacted “heatedly” to the party’s messaging.
“We need to not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again. . . . We lost good members because of that,” she added. “If we are classifying Tuesday as a success . . . we will get f—ing torn apart in 2022.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, on the left of the party, angrily told those upset with the party’s underwhelming performance and problematic messaging that “it sounds like you are saying stop pushing for what black folks want.”
And then, according to Politico, you had the lachrymose Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell of Florida, who was moved to tears by Democrats who were “tweet[ing]” barbs at one another.
In short, does this sound strong to you?
In the Senate, meanwhile, the Democrats have managed a net gain of one seat when they were predicted to pick up several more. Their hopes now rest upon winning two Georgia runoffs, something that would be difficult even without an energized Republican base.
This, again, wasn’t the predicted outcome, particularly with vulnerable GOP incumbents like Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Joni Ernst of Iowa and Thom Tillis of North Carolina all appearing to have held on to their seats.
And then there are Pelosi’s statements about Biden and how he “has a strong mandate to lead.” She bases this on several facts, all of them misleading. Sure, Biden will have “the biggest vote ever in the history of our country, 73.8 million and counting Americans.”
That’s because there was a high turnout in this election. President Trump also has over 70 million votes, which would mean he would have the biggest popular vote for any loser in presidential history.
But that’s not what matters — and if Biden holds serve in the states where he’s currently ahead, he’ll end up with 306 electoral votes, according to the Washington Examiner. That’s the same total that Donald Trump won back in 2016. (Two individuals were faithless electors, leaving him with 304 votes in the final tally.)
I know it’s been four years, but remember the mockery and derision when he tweeted this out?
In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 27, 2016
This wasn’t Trump’s best moment, especially considering that was close to the 10 tightest presidential races of all time. No. 10 is 1968, where Richard Nixon won a little over 55 percent of the electoral votes with 301, with Hubert Humphrey taking 191 and George Wallace winning 46.
If Biden doesn’t win one of the states where he’s ahead, it could well be a lot closer than that.
In the case of Trump, however, he hit 306 with no political experience, no political machine, roughly half the cash of his opponent and the media arrayed against him.
Joe Biden had every advantage possible in 2020 and the best estimate is that he’ll get — 306 electoral votes, having grossly underperformed at both the state and national level.
This was supposed to be a leveling “blue wave” election. It wasn’t. If the Democrats don’t pick up both Georgia seats, there are questions about Biden’s mandate to even get a cabinet filled out, much less to pursue his legislative agenda.
The House Democrats are about an inch away from a socially distanced “Lord of the Flies” on their conference calls.
It’s for the best Speaker Pelosi delivered these remarks from behind a mask since I doubt even she could have given that mandate talk with a straight face.

President Donald Trump quickly released a defiant statement Saturday attacking the establishment media for calling the presidential race for Democratic nominee Joe Biden .
Most of the country ’ s major establishment media outlets quickly called the race Saturday morning after they projected Biden to be the winner of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania .
The reality is , the election has not yet been officially decided , and it will not be decided until each state certifies its results .
But that didn ’ t stop media outlets , and Biden himself , from declaring that the former vice president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : There 's Still the Possibility of a 269-269 Electoral College Tie - Here 's What Would Happen Next Trump quickly issued a statement after the premature calls by the media to end the race on Saturday .
“ We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner , and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him : they don ’ t want the truth to be exposed , ” Trump said in a statement .
He added , “ The simple fact is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states , let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts , or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
” Trump continued , “ In Pennsylvania , for example , our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process .
Legal votes decide who is president , not the news media.
” Trump also announced that starting Monday , his campaign would begin laying out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated .
“ The American People are entitled to an honest election : that means counting all legal ballots , and not counting any illegal ballots .
This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election .
It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent , manufactured , or cast by ineligible or deceased voters , ” Trump said .
“ Only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ keep observers out of the count room — and then fight in court to block their access.
” Trump concluded , “ So what is Biden hiding ?
I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.

“His life is busy, with a lot of love, laughter and loudness! I have enjoyed working with him and witnessing the children bond as siblings.”
The family is now looking to move into an even larger home where Carter will help his five kiddos “grow into our next future leaders,” according to a GoFundMe set up for the family.
Carter said that a lot of what they’re up to now is “[m]aking memories to replace a lot of the bad ones.”
Because he went through the same trauma, he knows what they need to hear.
“Every night I talk to them and let them know, ‘I’m your dad forever. I know what it’s like and I’m always here for you,'” he explained.
“Like Marionna. She’s warmed up so much since the beginning. At first, she didn’t like me. She walked in my room last night and said, ‘I just want to say thanks for taking us in and taking care of us when our real mom couldn’t.'”
“It just really touched me. So just making memories, letting them know I’m here and they never have to go. I’m here for them no matter what.”

“Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster” may need to rethink its name after a mishap on Sunday that resulted in 13 passengers needing to be rescued from one of the roller coaster’s high tracks.
SeaWorld San Antonio’s website says the roller coaster “launches you on an exciting adventure as you join the SeaWorld Rescue Team in their quest to help an animal in danger.”
Most rescues take hours of planning and work to carry out, so the riders were no doubt looking for something a little less intense and time-consuming. Or at least not being the “animal in danger” themselves.
“Straddling a jet-ski style car, you race out over the lake, launching 60 feet into the air through banks and turns along 2,600 feet of track,” the description continues.
“With a height limit of only 48″ this is sure to be a family favorite.”
It was around 1 p.m. on Sunday when help was called out for a “technical rescue,” according to My San Antonio. The ride was stuck high in the air and at an angle.
Rescue crews worked for three hours using a cherry picker to extract each of the 13 guests from the 61-foot-high roller coaster.
The day after the incident, SeaWorld San Antonio released a statement confirming the mishap and stating that the San Antonio Fire Department was able to rescue the hapless riders.
“[Sunday] at 12:51pm the Wave Breaker roller coaster stopped during the ride,” a SeaWorld spokesperson told WOAI-TV. “Thirteen guests were onboard. Consistent with our established safety protocols we worked with the San Antonio Fire Department to safely evacuate all guests on the ride.”
“We apologize for the guest inconvenience. The safety of our employees and guests is our top priority.”
The ride has been open since June 2017, and many have enjoyed the attraction. No cause for the malfunction has been given.
Many have commented on footage of the rescue, posing deep philosophical questions about the passengers on the family-friendly ride like, “who would cry more: the parents or the kids?” and using this example as evidence for why they won’t set foot on any roller coaster.
Others pointed out that it wasn’t as bad as it could be — the roller coaster could have malfunctioned while the passengers were upside-down.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported and all were rescued safely, though those 13 may have second thoughts about riding a roller coaster again anytime soon.

westernjournal--2020-11-07--Pat Nolan: Thou Shalt Not Steal… an Election

When something dear to you is stolen from you , you call attention to it and try to recover what was rightly yours .
How could anyone say you were wrong to do so ?
But the media and a handful of wimpy Republicans are throwing shade on President Donald Trump for saying the Democrats are trying to steal the election , despite evidence that that is exactly what the Democrats are doing .
I have experience with stolen elections : For the last 40 years the GOP has had multiple seats stolen .
I witnessed one those thefts firsthand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican assemblyman in California .
The GOP worked hard to increase our numbers so that we could prevent Willie Brown , Jerry Brown , Maxine Waters and their squad of leftists from wreaking havoc on the Golden State .
In the ’ 80 election we added two new Republicans , bringing us to 32 out of the 80 members .
We were on a roll .
TRENDING : There 's Still the Possibility of a 269-269 Electoral College Tie - Here 's What Would Happen Next But a funny thing happened on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats stole one of the seats we had rightly won .
In Stockton , the Republican candidate had won by 21 votes .
That was close , but nevertheless it was a win .
In fact , it was so clear that our candidate had won that he was sworn into the Assembly with all the other members just a month after the election .
But chicanery was afoot .
The night of the election , after the votes were all counted , the registrar placed the ballots in a storeroom .
There @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a seal was affixed to that door .
When the staff arrived the next morning , they found the seal broken and a new tray of absentee votes inside .
There was no explanation of where the tray had come from or who had broken the seal and placed them in the closet .
However , the Dems brought in an extremely aggressive lawyer from back east to engineer their theft of that Assembly seat that we had won outright .
When the registrar had completed counting the ballots on election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2/3 of the absentee votes .
However , in what can only be described as a modern-day miracle , 2/3 of the “ immaculately conceived ” absentee ballots were marked for the Democrat candidate — exactly the opposite of all the other absentee ballots .
To no one ’ s surprise , that was just enough to erase the GOP win of 21 votes and hand the seat to the Dem by 35 votes .
We wuz robbed !
I was incensed by their trickery and I vowed that I wouldn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I had my staff track down the “ junkyard dog ” lawyer who stole what we had rightly won .
I immediately put him on retainer so that Willie Brown would not have the lawyer ’ s help in stealing another seat from us in 1982 .
When we contacted the lawyer , he chuckled and said , “ I wondered when you would get around to calling me .
I have stolen seven seats from you across the country.
” That ’ s right .
He was that open about his skullduggery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us his modus operandi for stealing elections .
RELATED : Op-Ed : 8 Options for How To Run the 2020 Election Here are their tactics : • Assemble a team of hard-core attorneys ( usually union-affiliated ) who are willing to get in the face of the county clerk staff and our volunteer lawyers .
• Identify the spot on the ballot where the office they are trying to steal is located .
Then , ignore the rest of the ballot , focusing entirely on the target race .
• When we challenge @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight tooth and nail to get it counted .
Over time , the clerks and our volunteers are worn down by these tactics and from then on are reluctant to bring on the wrath of the junkyard dog labor lawyers .
• If the ballot is marked for our candidate , unleash their frothing-at-the-mouth tactic to disqualify that ballot and raise a fuss until they overwhelm our objections .
If the clerks side with us , the Dem lawyers heap abuse on them .
After a couple hours of these attacks the clerks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to them than to incur their hateful abuse , and they relent .
• Surreptitiously wedge pencil lead under fingernails and make stray marks on ballots cast for our candidate .
Then , challenge those ballots for having stray marks , which automatically invalidates them .
• During breaks , have shameless Dem lawyers sidle up to clerks whose seem predisposed to the Democrats .
Flatter these clerks and pump them for information that will be helpful as the count goes on .
From then on , the clerks the lawyers cozied up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats in any disputes .
• The most emphatic point he made was : Once their candidate is in the lead , even if by one vote , stop counting right then , and fight like hell to end the count .
He said that continuing the count only risks adding more votes for our candidate .
Which brings me to the current controversies about the 2020 presidential election .
Of course , we want to count every legally case vote .
However , the Democrats have systematically kept our monitors from being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We must have access close enough to see the ballots as they are opened , and to challenge the invalid votes and flag improper handling of the ballots .
Our monitors have been kept far from the counting tables in many jurisdictions .
The counting in the contested states must be halted until our observers have the access they are entitled to by federal law .
Contrary to their claims , the Democrats are not for “ counting every vote.
” They only want to count enough votes out of sight of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they have won .
It should be noted that in all of the contested states the secretaries of state were elected with huge contributions from George Soros .
In addition , the registrar in Maricopa County , Arizona , was elected with large contributions from Soros .
These far-left secretaries of state preside over the counting of ballots in Arizona , Nevada , North Carolina , Pennsylvania , Michigan , Wisconsin and Minnesota .
What a coincidence .
These states may ring a bell — they are precisely the states where the counting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morning a huge increase of Biden votes appeared , with none for Trump .
Nothing to see here , folks .
Just move right along .
Do they think we are stupid ?
These tactics are outrageous .
Remember the tray of “ new ” absentee votes in Stockton in 1980 ?
They are at it again .
Every concerned American should be angry at this clear corruption of the election process .
As the Communist dictator Joseph Stalin is often said to have observed , “ Those who vote decide nothing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” We must insist that “ Thou Shalt Not Steal ” be the byword in counting the votes .
It is not wrong to take back what was rightly yours to begin with .
Saying “ Stop , thief !
” is totally appropriate .
And acting to regain what was stolen is virtuous , particularly when it is as sacred as our vote .

westernjournal--2020-11-07--Facebook Oversight Board Member Lets Her Trump Hatred Show While Celebrating Potential Biden Win

A Facebook Oversight Board member has brought new scrutiny to the group that helps shape Facebook ’ s content by exulting in the possibility that President Donald Trump may have lost Tuesday ’ s election .
Current results give potential presumptive president-elect Democrat Joe Biden the edge , but Trump has challenged the results in a post-election battle that as of Saturday showed no sings of abating .
But Tawakkol Karman , a Nobel laureate who has trumpeted her support of the Muslim Brotherhood , proclaimed that if Trump leaves office , hate will magically vanish .
“ With # @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of hate and intolerance will end not only in # America but also across the world .
USA is moving towards ending one of the fiercest waves of hate in modern history , ” she tweeted Friday .
TRENDING : There 's Still the Possibility of a 269-269 Electoral College Tie - Here 's What Would Happen Next She had earlier sent an Arabic tweet that was published in English by Fox News .
“ With the fall of Trump , the wave of hatred and intolerance will decline in the world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ translated version of the tweet read .
“ It is heading to tide over one of the most heinous waves of hate.
” Amid the waves of partisan rhetoric , Fox News noted that there was something disturbing in the commentary coming from a member of a board that helps determine what kinds of content Facebook allows .
“ Karman ’ s role on the Facebook Oversight Board makes the anti-Trump tweets alarming , as they can be seen as a signal that she might not be able to fairly do her job @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also raised eyebrows at the tweet .
Facebook has claimed that the board “ uses its independent judgment to support people ’ s right to free expression and ensure those rights are being adequately respected.
” Board members are “ empowered to select content cases for review and to uphold or reverse Facebook ’ s content decisions , ” Facebook said .
In its reporting on the Oversight Board , the Media Research Center ’ s NewsBusters blog wrote in September that “ The board ’ s most radical member , for example @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Muslim Brotherhood .
She announced in a June 7 tweet amidst international destructive protests that she is ‘ standing with the revolutions ! '
” MRC founder and President Brent Bozell noted that most original members of the board are not from the U.S.. “ Seventy-five percent of them are making decisions on content based on free speech values that are not based on the Constitution , ” he said .
