The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

This is why I watch dominant media "news" no longer. Not even the local electronic fish wrap--except for skipping to the weather forecast. This is why I quit Facebook (which also owns Instagram), and Twitter. This is why I expect to soon delete the last vestiges of my presence on Google.

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

You know it is interesting. I believe President Trump has accomplished many great things for America and the world in his first term in office. Quite possibly more than President Reagan, and certainly more than anyone since.

Still, it seems to me that if he is successful in stopping this coup, exposing the corruption, and prosecuting, convicting, and jailing those involved, that will be even better for America than everything he has managed so far.

Cap that off with whatever else he is able to accomplish in his second term and we might even be ever so slightly fatigued with (but absolutely not tired of) winning.

Bring it on President Trump, we are behind you all the way!

Nope, it's glaringly obvious / egregious at this point! They've pulled back any veil of objectivity, and they're now VERY out in the open, operating in plain sight for anyone with an IQ above room temp to see! That said, it's all been quite obvious to me since Reagan was president... Wink

Facebook just REMOVED the Title of "PRESIDENT" from Trump's official page and designated him as "Political Candidate".

I know it doesn't change reality, but that's obscenely disrespectful.

Look Closely: Trump Still Has A Shot At Winning Reelection

The Biden/Harris team and their complicit allies in the mainstream news industry are attempting one of the most audacious heists in American political history. In “calling”Joe Biden the winner Saturday, political prognosticators in the major cable news outlets reveal not only their continued bias but also their strong sense of dread of the ultimate outcome for their basement-dwelling candidate of choice.

The facts are, as of Monday, a full week after election day, Biden is behind President Donald Trump in the undisputed electoral count — Biden’s 226 to Trump’s 232 (assuming Trump wins North Carolina) — with a full 80 outstanding electoral votes in seven states still in a legal fog and unlikely to be determined much before the Dec. 14 state deadlines to report the count to Congress.

Only the candidate with at least 270 actual electoral votes reported to Congress on that date will be declared the winner. Nothing more and nothing less. And it certainly won’t be “declared” by CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

So what can we say at this point about the outstanding 80 electoral votes in those seven states? What are the states in play and what are the ultimate likely outcomes?

The seven states still counting votes, or with recounts ordered, or audits forecast, or credible evidence of fraud or system “glitches” include:

Georgia’s 16 electoral votes under a scheduled recount.
Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes under a scheduled audit and a Supreme Court order.
Michigan’s 16 electoral votes with statehouse subpoenas for election officials.
Wisconsin’s 10 votes under a scheduled recount and statewide canvas.
Nevada’s six votes chasing legal challenges for fraud and a Bill Barr Justice Department investigation.
Arizona’s 11 votes still counting and under scrutiny for voter irregularities.
And Nebraska’s one electoral vote in their District 2 under investigation.

That’s 80 outstanding Electoral College votes for which no one can at this point reliably predict a final resolution. How can anyone possibly know the results of any investigation, audit or recount before they have begun?

The only thing that is known for certain at this date is that Biden needs to capture 44 of the remaining 80, while Trump needs only 38. The combination of states to get to either of those totals are a bit varied, but there is one final determinate that heavily advantages Trump.

Of those seven outstanding states, all but Nevada’s six electoral votes are the responsibility of strong Republican statehouse majorities. Why, you might ask, is that important?

The Constitution of the United States provides in Article 2 that the final authority for every elector from each state is solely vested in that state’s legislature. Meaning any final disputes or resolutions of accusations of fraud will be determined by the majorities in those states. And since all but six of these outstanding 80 votes are controlled by Republicans, Trump has more than a good shot at being re-elected.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich cited on Fox on Nov. 9 the legal precedent that where election law has been violated, the court has invalidated the results of that entire vote. Even to the point of switching the result of the election from a corrupt Democrat to a Republican challenger.

So now you know why the left and their handmaidens in the media are so wild-eyed about projecting Biden now. Unfortunately for them, it doesn’t look promising.

Do the GOP members in those states legislatures have the backbone to stand up and do the right thing? PA and GA look good. We need one of WI, MI, or AZ though.

Huh, I thought that once you held the title of President you retained the title of President the rest of your life.

It also says he congratulated Biden. How is one of the most conservative states filled with such pieces of crap? I can't think of one good GOP elected official outside of Lee and he even has his wishy-washy moments of having to get along.

That IS terribly disrespectful

Good thing President Trump has a thick skin. Lesser Presidents (obama, I'm looking at you) would have had a complete breakdown over something like this.

Yeah, I assumed he'd be a shithead just like Gov. Herbert. I voted against Cox in the primary. These crap Republicans always seem to make it past the primaries and then are a shoe in for the general.
