Why I will not accept Joe Biden as president Unwillingness to accept election result grows out of a level of outrage unlike anything previously experienced by Newt Gingrich https://www.washingtontimes.co...-biden-as-president/ A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s victory. The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events. So, my friend asked why was 2020 different? Having spent more than four years watching the left #Resist President Donald Trump and focus entirely on undoing and undermining the 2016 election, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings. As I thought about it, I realized my anger and fear were not narrowly focused on votes. My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years involvement in public affairs. The challenge is that I — and other conservatives — are not disagreeing with the left within a commonly understood world. We live in alternative worlds. The left’s world is mostly the established world of the forces who have been dominant for most of my life. My world is the populist rebellion which believes we are being destroyed, our liberties are being cancelled and our religions are under assault. (Note the new Human Rights Campaign to decertify any religious school which does not accept secular sexual values — and that many Democrat governors have kept casinos open while closing churches though the COVID-19 pandemic.) We also believe other Democrat-led COVID-19 policies have enriched the wealthy while crushing middle class small business owners (some 160,000 restaurants may close). In this context, let’s talk first about the recent past and the presidency. In 2016, I supported an outsider candidate, who was rough around the edges and in the Andrew Jackson school of controversial assaults on the old order. When my candidate won, it was blamed on the Russians. We now know (four years later) Hillary Clinton’s own team financed the total lie that fueled this attack. Members of the FBI twice engaged in criminal acts to help it along — once in avoiding prosecution of someone who had deleted 33,000 emails and had a subordinate use a hammer to physically destroy hard drives, and a second time by lying to FISA judges to destroy Gen. Michael Flynn and spy on then-candidate Donald Trump and his team. The national liberal media aided and abetted every step of the way. All this was purely an attempt to cripple the new president and lead to the appointment of a special counsel — who ultimately produced nothing. Now, people in my world are told it is time to stop resisting and cooperate with the new president. But we remember that the Democrats wanted to cooperate with Mr. Trump so much that they began talking about his impeachment before he even took office. The Washington Post ran a story on Democrat impeachment plots the day of the inauguration. In fact, nearly 70 Democratic lawmakers boycotted his inauguration. A massive left-wing demonstration was staged in Washington the day after, where Madonna announced she dreamed of blowing up the White House to widespread applause. These same forces want me to cooperate with their new president. I find myself adopting the Nancy Pelosi model of constant resistance. Nothing I have seen from Mr. Biden since the election offers me any hope that he will reach out to the more than 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump. So, I am not reacting to the votes so much as to the whole election environment. When Twitter and Facebook censored the oldest and fourth largest newspaper (founded by Alexander Hamilton) because it accurately reported news that could hurt Mr. Biden’s chances — where were The New York Times and The Washington Post? The truth of the Hunter Biden story is now becoming impossible to avoid or conceal. The family of the Democrat nominee for president received at least $5 million from an entity controlled by our greatest adversary. It was a blatant payoff, and most Americans who voted for Mr. Biden never heard of it — or were told before the election it was Russian disinformation. Once they did hear of it, 17% said they would have switched their votes, according to a poll by the Media Research Center. That’s the entire election. The censorship worked exactly as intended. Typically, newspapers and media outlets band together when press freedom is threatened by censorship. Where was the sanctimonious “democracy dies in darkness?” Tragically, The Washington Post is now part of the darkness. But this is just a start. When Twitter censors four of five Rush Limbaugh tweets in one day, I fear for the country. When these monolithic Internet giants censor the president of the United States, I fear for the country. When I see elite billionaires like Mark Zuckerburg are able to spend $400 million to hire city governments to maximize turnout in specifically Democratic districts — without any regard to election spending laws or good governance standards — I fear for the country. When I read that Apple has a firm rule of never irritating China — and I watch the NBA kowtow to Beijing, I fear for our country. When I watch story after story about election fraud being spiked — without even the appearance of journalistic due diligence or curiosity — I know something is sick. The election process itself was the final straw in creating the crisis of confidence which is accelerating and deepening for many millions of Americans. Aside from a constant stream of allegations of outright fraud, there are some specific outrages — any one of which was likely enough to swing the entire election. Officials in virtually every swing state broke their states’ own laws to send out millions of ballots or ballot applications to every registered voter. It was all clearly documented in the Texas lawsuit, which was declined by the U.S. Supreme Court based on Texas’ procedural standing — not the merits of the case. That’s the election. In addition, it’s clear that virtually every swing state essentially suspended normal requirements for verifying absentee ballots. Rejection rates were an order of magnitude lower than in a normal year. In Georgia, rejection rates dropped from 6.5% in 2016 to 0.2% in 2020. In Pennsylvania, it went from 1% in 2016 to .003% in 2020. Nevada fell from 1.6% to .75%. There is no plausible explanation other than that they were counting a huge number of ballots — disproportionately for Mr. Biden — that normally would not have passed muster. That’s the election. The entire elite liberal media lied about the timeline of the COVID-19 vaccine. They blamed President Trump for the global pandemic even as he did literally everything top scientists instructed. In multiple debates, the moderators outright stated that he was lying about the U.S. having a vaccine before the end of the year (note Vice President Mike Pence received it this week). If Americans had known the pandemic was almost over, that too was likely the difference in the election. The unanimously never-Trump debate commission spiked the second debate at a critical time in order to hurt President Trump. If there had been one more debate like the final one, it likely would have been pivotal. This is just the beginning. But any one of those things alone is enough for Trump supporters to think we have been robbed by a ruthless establishment — which is likely to only get more corrupt and aggressive if it gets away with these blatant acts. For more than four years, the entire establishment mobilized against the elected president of the United States as though they were an immune system trying to kill a virus. Now, they are telling us we are undermining democracy. You have more than 74 million voters who supported President Trump despite everything — and given the election mess, the number could easily be significantly higher. The truth is tens of millions of Americans are deeply alienated and angry. If Mr. Biden governs from the left — and he will almost certainly be forced to — that number will grow rapidly, and we will win a massive election in 2022. Given this environment, I have no interest in legitimizing the father of a son who Chinese Communist Party members boast about buying. Nor do I have any interest in pretending that the current result is legitimate or honorable. It is simply the final stroke of a four-year establishment-media power grab. It has been perpetrated by people who have broken the law, cheated the country of information, and smeared those of us who believe in America over China, history over revisionism, and the liberal ideal of free expression over cancel culture. I write this in genuine sorrow, because I think we are headed toward a serious, bitter struggle in America. This extraordinary, coordinated four-year power grab threatens the fabric of our country and the freedom of every American. . | |||

edit to add: I agree w Pale Horse post below that although many sites report Sacker was working for CNN, other sites just say she appeared on CNN w Sullivan. TBD https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1349885882262761473 video at link CNN's (?) Jade Sacker penetrating the Capitol with a member of BLM/Antifa cheering, “We did it!” And then asking her conspirator if he was filming, he said he’d delete it, he lied. CNN was in on it. CNN was embedded with BLM/Antifa pretending to be Trump supporters videoing them incite a riot. Sacker (CNN) "Give me a hug" "You and I. We did it" Sullivan (BLM): “I tried to tell you but I couldn’t say much” "I didn't record you" indicating awareness of the plan to storm the capitol. adding: According to sources she was working on a CNN project, but she's done a lot of work for NBC and NPR. xxxxxxxxxx I think the guy she is talking to is John Sullivan aka JAYDENX | |||

Does anyone have proof that Sacker actually works for CNN, or was sent by CNN? It looks like she’s a freelance photojournalist. Being a contributor and having been interviewed is far from being employed or deployed by CNN, which is what the headline and story implies. There is no mention of her even being a contributor on her site, which mentions several other “news” agencies. “Everybody wants a Sig in the sheets but a Glock on the streets.” -bionic218 04-02-2014 | |||

So why wasn't JAYDENX charged with sedition, incitement to riot, treason, conspiracy, homicide (engaging in criminal actions that contributed to the death of Ashli), and a lot of other stuff? | |||

Back, and to the left |
I wondered that and just as quickly realized he probably traded immunity for his testimony. He talks pretty cavalierly for someone confessing to multiple crimes. | |||

I believe he is, check SDY‘s post a page back. „Sullivan was charged this week with unlawful entry, disorderly conduct, and attempted obstruction of law enforcement. He faces jail time if convicted.“ | |||

Now that the dust is settling (a bit), let’s give some thought to the folks we think are our heroes, who stood up and did the right thing for us and for our president? Off hand, I’m thinking of Mike Pompeo, Ric Grenell, Peter Navarro, Jim Jordan, Kayleigh McEnany. Ted Cruz of course. Who else was a stalwart in this fight? _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

I'm curious. I've gone to certain sources for years. Wall Street Journal editorial section. National Review. Modern venue podcasts such as The Editors featuring editors of the National Review which has been around for 60 years. I listen to podcasts featuring right of center thought and theory. The Dispatch. Mad Dogs and Englishmen. Even the young fire brand Ben Shapiro. All of these outlets say the election was not stolen. All of these outlets say voter irregularities did happen but not to the point of stealing this election. These irregularities happen with each election. Not one court case produced any evidence to the contrary. Trump acted horribly but not illegally. Putting all that aside I'd really like to know. Where do you get your information? Who do you listen to? _________________________ OH, Bonnie McMurray! | |||

In reference to the video that sdy linked about the CNN reporter....that’s only the first half of the video. I just saw the same video on Gab (can’t figure out how to grab it from there though) that continues on with him (John Sullivan) later when it’s dark out walking down the street and he’s bragging how he bought a Trump hat and posed as a Trump supporter earlier. Just so nobody wonders if it’s really him or not. Same exact voice from the shortened video that only shows the female from CNN. | |||

There were trials held so evidence could be presented? I must have missed that! I'm alright it's the rest of the world that's all screwed up! | |||

I'm not sure how Gab works but could you possibly copy and paste the address from the address bar. I'd really like to see the rest of that video. I've been saving all of the videos that I can to my hard drive in case they disappear. That sounds like one I'd like to keep. _______________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

Goose5, consider something, what happens to those outlets if they go against the media’s chosen narrative? Maybe they are saying what they are saying because to speak the truth would get them attacked and maybe destroyed by the increasingly militant leftist media cartel. They could also lose credibility among their own customers. At best they get labeled a fringe media outlet worse case scenario they get driven out of business. Without clear evidence of wide spread cheating they would be labeled lunatics and discredited by a rabid media barrage from multiple rival outlets. Unfortunately I have not seen one media outlet bring up the fact that cheating doesn’t have to be widespread to effect an election. It need only be targeted to a few areas where it would have the maximum effect. There were so many changes made with ballots and mailing in ballots that it opens the process up to fraud and makes auditing an election potentially impossible. Another thing to consider is if the election was so secure why the rush to run out the clock? Why the mass censorship and media crackdown on any dissenting voice? Why did a MAJOR media outlet prior to the election say something to us to the effect of “it is our job to say who won elections” then delete that tweet? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

It opens the video player on my phone. I’ve tried to press and hold but nothing works. Might be by design for gab. Dunno. | |||

Who posted the video on GAB? Can you take a screen shot? | |||

The actions the President's legal team brought to challenge the election results were civil actions, not criminal ones. There would be no trial by juries. His legal team would have had to present evidence to a judge of election fraud or irregularities in sufficient number to overturn the results of the election. It would not be sufficient to submit a couple of examples of election fraud. The President's team would be free to turn over any evidence of election fraud to a prosecutor for criminal action. But that would be separate from the civil action challenging the election results. The President's team was able to present evidence of voter fraud. It's just that it was before a judge, not a jury. The fact is that the President's legal team was unable to provide evidence that there was voter fraud in sufficient numbers to change the results of the election in any state. This includes cases presented in front of Trump appointed judges. (Just as an aside this is more proof that all those lefty Demokrats were full of shit when they claimed that the Trump judges would be crazies who would do the President's bidding and follow a far right crazy agenda). So it is just simply a fact that the President's legal team was given an opportunity to present evidence of voter fraud. (Again keep in mind that it would have to be in sufficient numbers to overturn the results of the election). They were not successful. You might be able to make a case that maybe some of those Trump judges were compromised in some manner so that they ruled against the President. But I think it would be a tough sell to suggest that every single Trump judge in every single jurisdiction was somehow compromised to the extent that they ruled against the President, | |||
