President Trump’s lead in the state has dropped from over 600,000 on election night to approximately 266,000 at the time of this writing, with an estimated 86 percent of the ballots counted.

“Philadelphia, unfortunately … has a reputation for voter fraud,” Giuliani said.
He argued that Republican absentee ballot observers are being blocked from doing their jobs in Philadelphia by being forced to stand 20 or more feet away from where the ballots are being processed.
The former U.S. attorney explained representatives from both parties are to be allowed to observe the counting, checking the envelopes are signed, post-marked, and properly addressed.
“Not a single Republican has been able to look at any one of these mail ballots,” Giuliani said. “They could be from Mars as far as we’re concerned or they could be from the Democratic National Committee.”
Rev. Graham is right: We must pray that God’s will is done and any fraud is exposed.
The future of liberty in America depends on it.

westernjournal--2020-11-04--Fred Weinberg: It’s Time We Kicked Some Media A**

What passes for the media should be ashamed of itself .
As this is written , we ’ re waiting for Pennsylvania and some other states to finish their vote counts and we ’ re waiting to see what actually happened in a few other states before declaring whether President Donald Trump has won a second term .
The ridiculous polls trumpeted by the so-called media had Trump losing big-time .
That is clearly the way they wanted it , and it did not work as a voter suppression tactic .
My guess is that Trump wins , there ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But it ’ s time we kicked some media ass .
TRENDING : Discovery of Arizona Data Error Suddenly Throws Early Calls for Biden Into Question The truth is that for the past 20 years , what we call the media has become an arm of the Democrat Party .
And that includes many — but not all — of the players at Fox News .
For whatever the reason , today ’ s so-called journalists are mostly creatures of the left .
And they know every trick in the book .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ make pretty good campaign managers .
One of those tricks is the use of phony polls .
When you start with a conclusion you want , it ’ s hard to call any polling result legitimate .
This week , The Wall Street Journal , for example , ran a “ poll ” done with NBC News which posited that Biden was 10 points ahead of Trump nationally .
What they didn ’ t go out of their way to tell us is that the poll consisted of 1,000 responses to determine the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voters .
I can tell you right now that they were wrong .
Even today .
But , what the hell , even a stopped clock is correct twice a day .
How is it that the so-called media can produce this crap ?
And stand behind it ?
Worse was the reaction of Fox News after Trump made a statement suggesting that it was possible the Democrat officials would try to steal his win in Pennsylvania .
Chris Wallace accused him of tossing a match into a volatile situation , and token @ @ @ @ @ @ @ As if Fox is the sole arbiter of who wins a state .
They have a “ decision desk ” — a bunch of nerds who make a call that means … nothing .
The “ media ” doesn ’ t make the decision .
We do .
Frankly , if Trump feels he ’ s being screwed by state officials of Joe Biden ’ s party ( Pennsylvania , Michigan ) , he should go to court .
Clearly , what he ’ s trying to do is to stop someone from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ count should be over .
And it ’ s not as if Philadelphia hasn ’ t been down that path in the past .
The president has clearly overperformed — way overperformed — the media ’ s phony polling .
And self-appointed “ experts ” such as Wallace and Williams simply don ’ t like that sort of thing being pointed out .
But what do they actually know ?
“ We were wrong , and some of these polls were wrong , and I think many of them probably were wrong for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carlson said , emphasizing his criticism isn ’ t directed at Fox News but at the media more broadly .
“ That ’ s a problem .
That ’ s misleading , and we should cop to it , I think.

What passes for the media should be ashamed of itself.
As this is written, we’re waiting for Pennsylvania and some other states to finish their vote counts and we’re waiting to see what actually happened in a few other states before declaring whether President Donald Trump has won a second term.
The ridiculous polls trumpeted by the so-called media had Trump losing big-time. That is clearly the way they wanted it, and it did not work as a voter suppression tactic.
My guess is that Trump wins, there’s some litigation and he still wins.
But it’s time we kicked some media ass.
The truth is that for the past 20 years, what we call the media has become an arm of the Democrat Party. And that includes many — but not all — of the players at Fox News.

What they didn’t go out of their way to tell us is that the poll consisted of 1,000 responses to determine the preferences of 130 million or more American voters.
I can tell you right now that they were wrong. Even today.
But, what the hell, even a stopped clock is correct twice a day.
How is it that the so-called media can produce this crap? And stand behind it?
Worse was the reaction of Fox News after Trump made a statement suggesting that it was possible the Democrat officials would try to steal his win in Pennsylvania. Chris Wallace accused him of tossing a match into a volatile situation, and token lefty Juan Williams went nuts agreeing.

They have a “decision desk” — a bunch of nerds who make a call that means … nothing. The “media” doesn’t make the decision. We do.
Frankly, if Trump feels he’s being screwed by state officials of Joe Biden’s party (Pennsylvania, Michigan), he should go to court. Clearly, what he’s trying to do is to stop someone from “finding” ballots way after the count should be over. And it’s not as if Philadelphia hasn’t been down that path in the past.
The president has clearly overperformed — way overperformed — the media’s phony polling.
And self-appointed “experts” such as Wallace and Williams simply don’t like that sort of thing being pointed out.
But what do they actually know?
Fox’s Tucker Carlson put it best.
“We were wrong, and some of these polls were wrong, and I think many of them probably were wrong for honest reasons but wrong nonetheless,” Carlson said, emphasizing his criticism isn’t directed at Fox News but at the media more broadly. “That’s a problem. That’s misleading, and we should cop to it, I think.”
And he went on to suggest that those pollsters be fired and get jobs “hanging sheetrock.”
Amen.

“Since then, the Clerk’s Office has been reviewing the results and the multiple redundancies to search out any possible discrepancies. Staff is currently working with township officials and with Election Source, the company that provides the voting software programs and hardware.”
According to WPBN-TV, Guy said the vote totals on printed tabulator tapes and totals counted by the election software did not match. The printed tabulated tapes from each precinct will be counted manually as a result.
According to KXXV-TV anchor Joe Gumm, the Antrim County Clerk’s Office is now in the process of reviewing over 16,000 ballots cast in the county.
Even worse for the integrity of elections in Michigan, the program used to conduct voting in Antrim County is reportedly being used in 33 other counties across the state.
UPDATE: The Antrim County Clerk’s Office in Michigan told me the election program it used (Election Source) had issues and the office is now reviewing 16,047 total votes. The source I spoke with said she believes 33 other counties used the program. #postelection2020 — Joe Gumm, MSc (@JoeGummKXXV) November 4, 2020
“The irregularities reported this morning are incredibly troubling, especially given how close the election results are in Michigan,” Michigan Republican Party Chair Laura Cox told WPBN-TV.
“At this point, it is unclear whether or not these issues were caused by incompetence or corruption, but the fact that they exist is of great concern, and the Michigan Republican Party will spare no expense to expose the truth of what happened in yesterday’s election.”

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden currently leads the state by some 60,000 votes.
Michigan, and its 16 Electoral College votes, sits as a critical step towards the presidency. Some have called the race for Biden, but the Associated Press and others have not yet called the race as votes continue to be tallied.
The campaign of President Donald Trump filed suit in Michigan Wednesday afternoon to halt vote counting after his team was allegedly denied access to observe counting.

It’s unclear how far-reaching the seemingly faulty election program’s impact is.
As Election Day turns into election week, there’s no sign of this political contest ending anytime soon.

Dan Calabrese: If There’s 1 Thing the Election Taught Us, It’s That Americans Don’t Want Radical Leftist Policies

We still don ’ t know who the next president is going to be , but there ’ s one thing we can conclude with certainty about this year ’ s election results : America does not want radical left-wing policies .
Voters sent this signal in several ways yesterday .
First , they sent it by re-electing almost all of the Republican U.S. senators who stood for re-election .
Going into this year ’ s Senate contests , Republicans were in a very precarious position , having to defend 23 of the 33 seats that were contested this year @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats in 2018 faced a similar situation .
It was so difficult for them to overcome that , even in a year when they swept to control of the House , they actually lost two Senate seats .
It is extremely difficult to hold your own when you have to defend that many seats .

Instead , they lost — at most — a net one .
If John James somehow pulls out an upset in Michigan , which is still possible as of this writing , Republicans will return next year with the same 53 senators they had in this session .
How is that even possible ?
It ’ s possible because voters heard the radical left-wing agenda of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate , Sen. Kamala Harris and , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rid of Donald Trump , they were determined to send others to Washington who would serve as a check on the Democrats ’ ambitions .
The second signal voters sent was to flip five House seats from Democrat to Republican .
This was not supposed to happen .
All the polling indicated Democrats were going to increase their majority in the House and give Speaker Nancy Pelosi even more power to pursue her big-government priorities .
Instead , Democrats found themselves dumbfounded as they woke up this morning with a smaller majority than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Democrats not be able to get their looniest ideas through a Republican Senate , they ’ ll even struggle to get them through a Democrat House that includes quite a few House members from districts Trump won .
These folks will be reluctant to sign on to the left ’ s most radical agenda items , meaning Pelosi might not even be able to get things like tax increases and government health care through her own chamber .
Finally , voters signaled their distaste for the radical left ’ s agenda by giving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the polls had indicated .
We still don ’ t know if Trump won or lost , but we do know the blue wipeout the media promised us came nowhere near happening .

Republicans maintaining their strength in Texas is bad news for Democrats, who have been increasingly putting efforts into capturing the state.
“After promising gains in 2018, Texas Democrats had support from national leadership, well-funded candidates, and grassroots enthusiasm.

And there was sky-high turnout in early voting, including millions of new voters that the party has long insisted would turn the tides in Texas,” Justin Miller of the Texas Observer wrote.
It didn’t this year. As Miller wrote, Texas Democrats failed to oust a single Republican member of Congress.
“Meanwhile, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee had made Texas its biggest battleground, targeting several congressional districts largely centered around Austin, Houston, and the suburbs of North Texas around Dallas.

In 2018, the Democrats spent millions in an attempt to replace Republican Sen. Ted Cruz with former Rep. Robert “Beto” O’Rourke.
O’Rourke narrowly lost by 2.6 percent, but dominated in major cities and south Texas.
While the “purple Texas” narrative collapsed this year, and Republicans are performing strongly when it comes to House, Senate, and state level races, there is cause for concern in future presidential elections.
President Donald Trump won Texas’s 38 electoral votes Tuesday night, but Biden garnered well over 45 percent of the vote.
This is mainly due to a large numbers of people moving to Texas in recent years, making suburbs highly competitive outside metropolitan areas throughout the state.
Republicans have won every presidential election in the state since 1976.
While Texas continues to consistently go red, changing demographics need to keep Republicans on alert in future elections.

The president’s particularly strong support among Cuban- and Venezuelan-Americans is linked to his forceful stand against socialism.
“Our country will never be a socialist country,” Trump said a Miami rally for Venezuelan-Americans last year.
Cubans and Venezuelans fled to the U.S. to escape the oppressive socialist regimes in their native lands and have no interest in seeing it gain a foothold here.
Rubio highlighted the diversity of Trump’s Latino supporters at a rally near Miami on Sunday night.
The senator joked that maybe they could get the president to dance to salsa music instead of his traditional “YMCA” jig.
Rubio asked in Spanish where the Cubans were in the crowd, which drew loud cheers. There were similar reactions when the senator did the same for Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Colombians and those from the Dominican Republic.
Rubio culminated the roll call asking where the “Americanos” were, causing the audience to cheer and break out into chants of “USA! USA! USA!”
“This president has united tonight in one place, at one time people from all over the world, united by one thing: They are proud Americans!” Rubio said.
Apparently, none of these Latinos got the Democratic/media memo that Trump is a white supremacist, and their repudiation of the idea has to be terrifying to the Democratic machine.
Latinos just see him as a good leader who loves freedom and wants them to succeed.

Tim Tebow is a wildly popular figure known for three major things: sports, faith and charity.
Tebow has used his platform to bring more visibility to many issues, but instead of just highlighting worthwhile causes, he often leads by example.
Though the Tim Tebow Foundation mentions several programs, including Special Needs Ministry, Orphan Care + Prevention, Children with Profound Medical Needs and Anti-Human Trafficking, one of the biggest ministries he’s known for is the annual “Night To Shine.”
“Night to Shine, a prom centered on God’s love for people with special needs held simultaneously around the world on the Friday before Valentine’s Day each year, is not just an event, but an invitation into a community that values, honors and supports people with special needs and their families,” the foundation’s website states.
The plight of the homeless is also close to his heart. In 2014, Tebow reserved an entire theater for Trinity Rescue Mission and City Rescue Mission, providing an advance screen of “Heaven is for Real” for interested enrollees, as detailed by his website.
But his good deeds aren’t relegated to the past — though perhaps mixing and mingling was easier before this year.
In October, he visited St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix, Arizona, with 50 pairs of new shoes — a commodity that is vital for those who are suffering from homelessness.
He handed out the shoes, but there were still people without. As he exited, he handed off the last pair he had with him: his own.
“We were fortunate to have Tim Tebow visit our main campus in South Phoenix last week,” St. Vincent de Paul shared on Facebook.
“He went above and beyond and donated 50 pair of shoes to be given away to SVdP clients who needed them the most.
“And not just that, he took his shoes off to give them to a person who was left without shoes. We appreciate his generosity and support of our community.”
He even went beyond that sacrificial act — he also took down the information for the other clients who still needed shoes, and made sure their needs were met as well.
St. Vincent de Paul, CEO Steve Zabilski said that the athlete’s heart is every bit as impressive as his game.
“If you ask me, or many of our guests, Tim has gone from professional athlete to super hero in just a few years,” Zabilski told KNXV-TV.
“His actions off the field are as impressive as any last-minute touchdown pass, or game-winning home run. I think we all can agree on that.”
