THE LEGAL ELEMENTS TO INCITEMENT WERE NOT MET, NOT EVEN CLOSE, BUT THESE SEVEN SENATORS VOTED TO CONVICT - Romney (24), Murkowski (22), Sasse (26) and Cassidy (26) will be primaried. Murkowski will try her write-in gambit again and probably throw the seat to the Dems. Toomey and Burr aren't running. Collins will not be primaried because she is likely the only person in Maine who could keep that seat Republican in 2026.
THE HYPOCRISY ISN'T THE POINT, IT'S THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD THE POWER TO HIDE IT. SOCIALISTS ARE PLAYING FOR KEEPS. WAKE UP.
Time recounts the massive "conspiracy" that "saved democracy." Biden pulled out an electoral victory by 42,000 votes out of about 160,000,000 cast. Considering all of the additional work this took to change laws and censor the free exchange of facts damaging to Biden on social media, it's impossible to accurately frame this as a win for democracy.
The asymmetric threat from big tech represents a technical, social and economic force that threatens to destabilize the national balance between a clear-eyed tradition-influenced paradigm and cynical damn-it-all existentialism. This balance keeps us on the cutting edge. If the progressives destroy the voice of those who see clearly where we are yet consider with respect what came before, and leave themselves alone to run amok in the major spheres of influence (all tech BTW), we will devolve into a banana republic. Godspeed Governor Des antis.
42,000 votes made the difference between Trump's reelection and defeat. Fox News polling, which was run by a Dem firm this cycle, along with constant doom-saying about Trump's chances, likely made the difference. They are trying to make amends with infuriated former viewers but it shouldn't matter. Newsmax and OANN deserve Trumpers' support because they are essential anti-establishment media voices. Despite these firings, Fox News remains establishment first.
Establishment blue-blood Liz Cheney deserves to be removed. Her vote to impeach Trump was not based on the law, but personal animus. The irony is that the impeachment implies that Trump elevated his own political interests above that of the nation, which he did not do. Cheney, on the other hand, ignores all due process in a rush to judgment partisan impeachment. Hypocrite, yes. She deserves to be removed from leadership. She does not represent the overwhelming majority of her party.
This poll tells us there is no risk of Trump actually being convicted by the US Senate. A GOP senator would literally be committing political suicide to vote to convict Trump on the impeachment vote. Look for GOP Trump-hating Senators to find an off ramp, like saying this process is unconstitutional, to avoid voting to convict.

Losing in Georgia is undoubtedly bad for the GOP establishment. Trump's supporters will not blame him, although establishment media and politicians will. Blaming Trump because he is contesting the election is like blaming a cancer patient for the cancer, ignoring the problem makes it worse. He tried to save the GOP by promoting the $2000 stimulus, which is overwhelmingly popular, but McConnell refused to allow a vote. The establishment owns this loss.
Where my projection went wrong? Assumed the rally would engage Trump voters. It did not. Trump voters are staying home. If McConnell had embraced the $2000.00 stimulus, it could have made the difference. As it stands, Trump voters feel rejected by the GOP establishment and have failed to turnout for two GOP establishment candidates. Not a surprising result. These races were very difficult to call because turnout is so difficult to anticipate in a runoff.
- We hear the same line from the Post now as Fox News, no evidence of widespread voter fraud. This is misleading. We have seen widespread evidence of election fraud, probably more serious than voter fraud because it's committed by election workers who literally make up the system, so it's by definition systemic.
They used to lead everything, now they trail in virtually every category. Fox News polling was headed by an actual Democratic polling firm in 2020 and the decision room acted strategically to benefit Joe Biden in its Arizona call and refusal to call states Trump clearly won. They ignore all evidence of systemic election fraud or rigged systems so evident in PA, WI, MI, NV & GA. No conservative or America-first voter should watch that network at any time. The conservatives they have, and there are a good number on the screen, only serve to draw in conservative viewers so the pollsters and decision people behind the scenes can demoralize them with phony polls and doom-saying election coverage when it counts. In the back office where it matters, they are secular corporate globalists masquerading as conservative-friendly. In the end, they don't mind China running the world because China offers slave labor to western businesses who have lost any commitment to western values. | FREE EVERYWHERE - NEWSMAXTV.COM OR TRY AMERICA'S VOICE
Chris Christie has trashed all efforts to call into question the election irregularities in the battleground states from the beginning. He and Mitt Romney have been the biggest voices trashing Trump for questioning the process. Put aside the Sidney Powell/Lin Wood arguments, he has dismissed all questions on the election, including the corrupt sweeping election law changes based on the pandemic made by courts and state administration officials that demonstrably gave Biden the edge. Whether Trump runs or not, Christie has zero chance at securing Trump supporters who now dominate the party. This fantasy he has may explain why he's hitting Trump so hard now, perhaps to secure the establishment endorsement. If he doesn't know that's a losing ticket already, he's shockingly clueless. The party has been transformed.
You can trust this poll. The poll internals match the 2020 electorate, 51 Biden to 47 Trump and party ID is on point as well. Half of the country believe fraud occurred while the media and the establishment want to sweep this under the rug. Rove warned Trump that he risks making himself look like a sore loser if he continues this. On the contrary, these numbers suggest he would put himself at greater jeopardy if he allows the establishment to get away with it.
Federal District Judge Brett Ludwig, a recent Trump appointee, deserves credit for finding that Trump has standing and that the case is not moot. This judge finds the Trump has until Jan. 6th to find relief in courts. I disagree with his reading of the Electors Clause, specifically his interpretation of the term "manner" of election, but he makes a ruling on the merits at least. The Electors Clause gives the power to determine the "manner" of appointing electors to the state legislature. The judge views the term manner as only addressing the broad mode of determination, either by popular vote or appointment. He views the allegedly illegal ballot boxes, address corrections and widespread claims of indefinite confinement as administrative issues, within the Wisconsin Election Commission's delegated authority to change, even in direct contradiction to election statutes written by the legislature. If this reading of the Electors Clause is adopted or allowed to stand by the Supreme Court, any administrative agency with some colorable delegation of election authority can rewrite state law and no immediate legal recourse exists. The President can appeal this decision.
So, you’re the President of the United States, and you just went through an election where you got more votes than any sitting President in history, by far - and purportedly lost. You can’t get “standing” before the Supreme Court, so you “intervene” with wonderful states that, after careful study and consideration, think you got “screwed”, something which will hurt them also. Many others likewise join the suit but, within a flash, it is thrown out and gone, without even looking at the many reasons it was brought. A Rigged Election, fight on!
It was denied for lack of standing because the Court says Texas has no interest in how another state conducts its election. I disagree. All states have an interest in making sure other states do not run rigged elections because our existence as a nation depends on it. The Court said tonight there is no forum to correct for renegade states changing laws at the last minute to rig elections. Pennsylvania's Supreme Court and Secretary of State changed the law and ignored laws in ways that led directly to Biden winning. Michigan is ignoring widespread illegality, including almost certain ballot stuffing to the tune of 170,000 ballots, that allowed Biden to win. One man in Georgia changed its election law in fundamental ways that undoubtedly allowed Biden to win. Wisconsin directly violated its own election laws in material ways that directly led to Biden's win. We should expect to see other states doing this in the future because there is no recourse in the law. Chaos won tonight. The rule of law lost. A process this rigged and unjust does not deserve respect.
