THE BATTLE IS FAR FROM OVER
As it stands now, fewer than 40,000 votes switched from the Democrat nominee Joe Biden to Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona would give Trump the election 279 electoral votes to Biden’s 259.
If Biden retained Pennsylvania, and only 25,000 votes shifted from Biden to Trump in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, the Electoral College would be tied 269 each, and Trump would be reelected by the House of Representatives where each state delegation casts a single vote; Alaska’s one congressman has equal weight to California’s 53.
This epic struggle is far from over in many ways.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN A REAL CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE LEFT AND AMERICA
“Civil war” has been a term much in use by both the Left and the Right these days. Try a web search on “civil war in America 2020,” and the result is hundreds of links speculating about the “coming war between Left and Right and who will ignite the spark” (and a lot of other related themes).
The Left claim that “white supremacist and white nationalist militias” will get things started, and the legacy media have produced dozens of articles “investigating” militias and propagating that false narrative.
One of the latest investigative reports on Oath Keepers and militias along those lines was published in the November issue of The Atlantic. I maintain that the militia movement is completely different than the caricature that the legacy media have made it out to be. It will blow your mind how different.
RELEASING THE KRAKEN
Sidney Powell, lead lawyer for former National Security Advisor Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn, and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani are both alleging that statistical evidence shows hundreds of thousands of votes switched from Trump to the “projected winner” Joe Biden and that President Trump actually won the election in a landslide.“Dominion is running our Election. Rigged! https://t.co/xvwrpLpAZa— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 16, 2020”
On Friday (11/13), Powell told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs that she was about to “release the Kraken” to prove it, saying she could “hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion.”

TRUMP’S PENNSYLVANIA LAWSUIT IS BRILLIANT
It was filed in federal court, not state. The gist is that some of the state's actions, and particularly the exclusion of Republican poll-watchers during the counting of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots, violated federal constitutional requirements.
The point is obvious enough once one thinks of it, but it's brilliant all the same. It shifts the focus from state law, where a politicized Pennsylvania court has the last word, to federal law, where the U.S. Supreme Court rules.
As for the obviousness of the point, consider as a thought experiment a state law requiring that all votes be counted in secret by an unelected board named by the party in power. Could it survive a constitutional challenge?
DON’T GIVE AN INCH
Elections don’t make democracies; free and fair elections do. Today, in the midst of post-election chaos, we find ourselves in a fight for the latter.
In that sense, this election is about far more than Donald Trump the man, or even his policies. The question is this: either democracy survives or one political party will be allowed to bully, lie, cheat, and steal its way into power.
To that party, the Democrats, we must answer: Absolutely not.
They have not earned our trust, and they do not deserve one picogram of it. They should be given no political quarter.
THE BLUE WAVE THAT NEVER WAS
PINE TOWNSHIP, Penn. — Had you spent any time in this northern suburb of Pittsburgh listening to voters, finding out what matters to them when it comes to schools, community growth, economic prosperity and the emotional impact of the COVID-19 lockdowns, you would have at least been skeptical of the media narrative and the polls that claimed suburban voters here are no longer center-right.
Surely, reporters thought, these suburbs had fully embraced “wokeism” and rejected center-right values and principles. They thought they would cave under the cultural pressure, push left and send a blue shock wave across the country with their votes.
And that’s precisely what did not happen.
TWELVE WAYS FOR TRUMP TO BOMB THE ELECTION FRAUD BATTLEFIELD
President Trump is right to refuse to concede the 2020 election until every legal vote has been counted and allegations of significant fraud have been fairly investigated. His voters deserve and need to know if we were beaten by massive cheating.
Since the president’s team has begun releasing increasingly good evidence of large-scale voter fraud in key states, the tide may be turning. However, a savvy embattled leader will prepare for all possible outcomes, and make war on all fronts possible. .
That means right now President Trump needs a skunkworks team coming up with as many political land mines as possible to embed in the landscape if Republicans are forced to retreat from the White House in January. Here are 12 such land mines.
THE TIDE TURNS FOR TRUMP
Attorney General Barr just mobilized the Department of Justice to engage as appropriate to investigate election fraud throughout America. He is on very solid legal grounds. It is a very simple means of addressing the greatest attempted political theft in American history and I would rather be us, Trump Nation, than them, the Democrat party's illegal operatives.
That may well be why Deep State operative Richard Pilger resigned immediately after Barr issued his directive last night (11/09): Richard Pilger, Linked to IRS Scandal, Resigns DOJ Post over Voter Fraud Memo.
Barr was able to issue his Memo on Post-Voting Election Irregularity Inquiries because President Trump and his team laid the legal ground work for identifying and prosecuting such criminal behavior in 2017:

To: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States

From: A Fellow Patriot
Dear Mr. President –
On behalf of the more than 71 million Americans who voted for you to continue to be their President, I would like to respectfully propose a draft speech for your consideration in addressing the Nation on the current election crisis.
WHY TRUMP WILL TRIUMPH IN PA LITIGATION
If you’ve been following the mainstream media, you’ve probably read that Trump has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania to “stop counting votes.”
There is a lawsuit, no doubt; and it will involve a lot of votes being thrown out. The plaintiff (Trump and/or the Republicans) will win, because Pennsylvania’s highest court has almost certainly violated the Constitution of the United States.
That’s why, in the weeks ahead, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is going to rule in favor of Trump. Let’s wind the clock back about a week to explain how we got here.

THE PARTY OF TREASONOUS THIEVES
The Democrats and all the shadowy groups that do their dirty work behind the scenes have been planning to prevent a Trump second term for four years. For example, the Transition Integrity Project and the Lincoln Project made up of former-Republican NeverTrumpers are just two of many organizations created solely to defeat the President.
“Treason is very much a matter of habit, Smiley decided.”― John Le Carré, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
“THE MOST EXTENSIVE VOTER FRAUD ORGANIZATION IN HISTORY”
The counting was paused after it became clear that Trump had built large leads in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, his voters debunking the media's scam that Joe Biden was going to win in a landslide.
With the fate of the nation now hanging in the balance and the election in limbo, it is important to point out that Lunchbucket Joe let the cat out of the bag with one of his trademark gaffes; admitting that Democrats had put together – as you see above -- the most “extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."

Forty government officials were indicted or jailed as a result of Watergate. White House staffers H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman went to jail. White House counsel John Dean went to jail. Attorney General John Mitchell went to jail. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, Charles Colson and James McCord – all jailed.
"Obamagate," or the "Russia Hoax" is a political and criminal scandal exponentially more serious and damaging to the constitution. Like the Richter Scale measurements of earthquakes, Obamagate can be measured in "orders of magnitude" greater seriousness than the third-rate Watergate burglary.

TRUMP EXPANDS HIS BASE WITH RECORD NUMBERS OF TRUMP DEMOCRATS
If you pay attention only to the polls and the mainstream media narrative, you’ll believe that, even though the presidential race is tightening, Biden still maintains a lead and can handily win the upcoming election.
However, if you look at the information on the Twitter feed of Ronna McDaniel, @GOPChairwoman, you’ll see an entirely different story and one that is more in sync with Trump’s well-attended rallies compared to Biden’s anemic afternoon teas. It’s the story of record numbers of Trump Democrats.

SCHADENFREUDELICIOUS! ENJOY THE DEM MELTDOWN OVER JUSTICE ACB
Amy Coney Barrett’s ascension to the Supreme Court marks the first time in 81 years – in three generations – that the Republicans will have a majority on the Supreme Court.
The Democrats, rather than accepting gracefully that the regularly-applied constitutional rules finally stopped favoring them, have responded with a complete meltdown. They’ve resorted to apocalyptic predictions, hysterical rants, and threats, lots and lots of threats.
The last time the Democrats behaved this disgracefully was in 1860, a temper tantrum that ended in a Civil War that left over 650,000 Americans dead.
Before enjoying the Democrats’ psychological collapse, it’s essential to understand the Barrett confirmation was constitutionally correct and had historical precedent. But when have Dems cared about that?
IT’S NOW THE BARRETT COURT
Her arrival is likely to have the most profound effect on the nation’s highest court since simultaneous appointments of William Rehnquist and Lewis Powell in the 1970s and the replacement of Thurgood Marshall by Clarence Thomas in the early 1990s.
Perhaps more so. Here are the dynamics.
THE BIG GUY IS SLEAZY JOE
Wait until Scranton hears about this.
One of Joe Biden’s ways of contrasting himself with President Trump has been to declare the election a battle of Park Avenue values vs. Scranton, Pa., values.
Now we learn that Biden has secretly been playing footsie with China.
The statement last night (10/21) asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese Communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.
The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and Joe’s brother Jim in the China scheme. His full statement is below.
HOW THE PRESIDENT CAN SEAL THE DEAL WITH VOTERS TONIGHT
The so-called mainstream polls of the swing states show the race narrowing. If the trend continues at the current rate, President Trump could poll even next week—in addition to the “other” polls that show him near there already.
So Trump’s mission at the final debate tonight is to continue to accelerate his momentum, not to take risks to melt down Joe Biden with verbal fireworks.
Here are my respectful suggestions on how he can “seal the deal” with the tens of millions of voters who will be watching the final debate tonight.

WHY MAIL-IN VOTING WILL NOT DECIDE OR DELAY THIS ELECTION
Most of the people supporting Trump in this election are confident that he will get more votes than he got in 2016 but are afraid that fraudulent mail-in votes will illegally steal the election -- or that we will have to wait weeks before we know the results because "so many states" are allowing ballots to arrive long after the November 3, 2020 election day.
Based on a study of the voting rules in each state, and the 2016 electoral map, it appears that neither of those things are likely to happen. This is my analysis of why on both counts. I hope it allays your concerns.
“TRUMP DOES WHAT HE SAYS” – AMERICAN MUSLIMS SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT
President Trump, whose Middle East plan is winning support from Arab nations, is gaining strong support from Muslim leaders and their followers in the United States who believe that the Democrats haven't delivered on years of promises, according to a new survey of Islamic leaders.
In a shocking turnaround, 61.48% of the 109 Muslim leaders who “represent two million voters” plan to vote for Trump. That is a slight edge over their 2012 vote for Barack Obama.
Those results represent a dramatic flip of the Muslim vote, which for years has sided with the Democrats.

THE PANDEMIC IS ALL BASEMENT BIDEN HAS LEFT
How on earth did his party put Basement Biden up as a presidential candidate at this moment in time? He is the exemplar of everything we do not want or need as a leader, let alone as president.
The Dems knew then what we all know now: Joe Biden is neither smart nor wise. He lacks character and is profoundly corrupt. He has never accomplished anything of import in forty-seven years but to enrich himself and his family, nuclear and extended.
The Democrats know well that their candidate is not only flawed but cognitively impaired. At this point they don’t care. They are prepared to drag him across the finish line by any means necessary. And all they’ve got to do so is the manufactured scare story of the pandemic.
THE COMING COUP
As if 2020 were not insane enough already, we now have Democrats and their ruling class masters openly talking about staging a coup.
You might have missed it, what with the riots, lockdowns and other daily mayhem we’re forced to endure in this, the most wretched year of modern times. But it’s happening. We know it’s happening because the Dems have told us.
In his famously exhaustive discussion of conspiracies, Machiavelli goes out of his way to emphasize the indispensability of “operational security”—i.e., silence—to success. The first rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy. The second rule of conspiracy is, you do not talk about the conspiracy.
So why are the Democrats—publicly—talking about the conspiracy? Here’s why.

DEMS CAN’T DEMAGOGUE UNFLAPPABLE AMY
They came, they questioned and they got nothing. It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for Democrats. Almost.
With a history of vicious misbehavior and the political calendar limiting their ability to smear Amy Coney Barrett, Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee were reduced to being annoying nags and finger-wagging scolds. They fumed and sputtered about the possibility that the court might be called on to make key ballot rulings after the election and hoped she would not participate. No luck. They all struck out.
Their basic problem is that Barrett came across as an appealing Superwoman. Flanked by her husband, six of their seven children and her six siblings, she was flawless in answering those questions she could and in politely sidestepping the traps.
FADING JOE’S VERY BAD DAY
At a campaign stop in Toldeo, Ohio, he actually forgot he was running for president, saying what you just saw: “I’m running as a proud Democrat for the Senate.”
When Biden was confronted with a poll that said 56 percent of registered voters believe they are better off than they were four years ago (when he was vice president), Biden said they shouldn’t vote for him. And this was Joe just warming up – there’s lots more!
EVEN DEMOCRATS ARE IMPRESSED WITH ACB
Now, on day two of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Dems are telling reporters are impressed with what they see.
While Barrett was still being grilled Tuesday (10/13), even liberal reporters on CNN and NBC had to admit that she was doing a good job answering the Senators’ questions.

TRUMP & ATLAS – TIME TO FACE DOWN CORONAVIRUS FEAR
POTUS with Dr. Scott Atlas
The uproar over the President’s COVID-19 diagnosis made one thing abundantly and terrifyingly clear: The media’s China Virus hysteria is here to stay— certainly through the election, and far beyond after Trump wins.
The paranoia is so baked in now, you wonder how the public will come to its senses. Well, it appears that Trump’s new COVID advisors are having an impact.
In August, the President appointed Dr. Scott Atlas, a critic of lockdowns and our one-size-fits-all remedy to cure the virus. Atlas, 65, is a much-needed antidote to the attention-hungry, flip-flopping Anthony Fauci, who refuses to exit the media’s adoring spotlight or entertain any opposing viewpoint.
PRESIDENT TRUMP BECOMES CAPTAIN AMERICA
What did former President Obama call this? A “teachable moment.” But it’s not the lesson Democrats hoped for.
I’ve studied Donald Trump my entire adult life. Growing up as a kid in New York, and being 15 years younger than Trump, he served as my hero, mentor and role model since my college days at Columbia University. Donald Trump has three traits above all others:
THE LOATHSOME GHOULS OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS
Well, there is Antifa, the violent arm of BLM, the Muslim Brotherhood, et al., but for what is supposed to be an assemblage of professional, objective journalists, this White House press corps is about as mature as a clique of mean girls in any middle school.
They are as politically deluded as Baghdad Bob, pathetically self-important, ridiculously overly impressed with their own positions of power and influence, and as malicious as Shakespeare's Iago. When they do not get their way, they act out like toddlers in the throes of a tantrum.
While their glee at the news that Trump had contracted COVID was shameful, their hysteria over his brief ride in The Beast to wave to supporters outside the hospital, their abject fury at his being released from Walter Reed today, was beyond redemption. These ghouls are seriously mentally ill. They wanted him to die, and he didn't.
