Dershowitz explains how Supreme Court could get involved in Georgia election challenge Dershowitz says high court may be asked to weigh in on who can choose state’s electors: Ronn Blitzer

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dershowitz-supreme-court-georgia-election-challenge

Attorneys Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr appeared on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss recently revealed evidence of possible voter fraud in Georgia, and explained the possible processes for how the Trump campaign could use it in their effort to reverse the result of the presidential election in that state.

Starr, who rose to fame as the independent counsel investigating President Bill Clinton, pointed to information presented to Georgia state senators last week, including video that purportedly showed ballots being counted without supervision. While Georgia officials have insisted that the video simply shows “normal” ballot counting procedure, Starr said Georgia legislators “seemed to be really troubled” by the video and other evidence presented to them.

“There certainly is probable cause for investigating and looking further,” Dershowitz said. “Giuliani has made very serious accusations. The question is which institution is designed constitutionally to look into it. Is it the state legislature? Is it the courts? Is the clock running in such a way that there won’t be time to look into this?”

Dershowitz, the Harvard Law professor emeritus, said he has proposed for the future the creation of a neutral panel consisting of former judges and justices that would field election-related complaints.

Ossoff, Warnock Campaign with Democrat Congressman Who Called Jews ‘Termites’

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/05/ossoff-warnock-campaign-with-democrat-congressman-who-called-jews-termites/

Georgia Senate Democrat candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff will campaign Saturday with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), who in 2016 compared Israeli settlers to “termites.”

Warnock and Ossoff will attend a “Drive-in Rally” hosted by the Rockdale and Newton County Democrats with Johnson.

Johnson’s rally with Ossoff and Warnock raises questions about Johnson’s controversial remarks, including his own commentary on Israeli settlers.

At an event in 2016 sponsored by the Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation — which supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement (BDS), Johnson said:

There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you’ve been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming.

2020 meltdown leaves Iowa Democrats on edge After the botched caucuses and the party’s Election Day wipeout, the state’s first-in-the-nation status is more precarious than ever.

http://2020 meltdown leaves Iowa Democrats on edge After the botched caucuses and the party’s Election Day wipeout, the state’s first-in-the-nation status is more precarious than ever.

Aside from ousting Donald Trump from the White House, the story of the 2020 election has an unhappy ending for Democrats. They failed to win back the Senate, nearly lost the House and fell short in statehouses all across the country.

But from the botched caucuses in February to the party’s wipeout on Election Day, nowhere was more miserable this year for Democrats than in Iowa. Long a focal point of the party’s political universe, Democrats there are now on the brink — their losses up and down the ballot in November have made the state’s first-in-the-nation caucus status more precarious than ever.

“There’s a lot of soul searching going on in Iowa right now,” said Sean Bagniewski, chairman of the Polk County Democrats. “It looks pretty dire for the next couple of years.”

The hits started early, with the caucuses, and are still coming a month after the election. Earlier this week, state officials certified Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ six-vote victory over Democrat Rita Hart in the state’s open 2nd Congressional District — making it one of two House seats that flipped to GOP control this year. If that excruciatingly narrow result withstands a challenge from Hart, it will leave Democrats with just one of Iowa’s four House seats.

That’s on top of Trump trouncing Joe Biden in the state, Democrats failing to dislodge GOP Sen. Joni Ernst and Republicans expanding their majority in the legislature. This month, the party is expected to release an audit of the caucus fiasco, just as Democrats begin to look ahead to the midterms and the presidential nominating calendar for 2024.

Moshe Phillips: Trump should let the Quartet die with James Wolfensohn see note please

https://www.jns.org/opinion/trump-should-let-the-quartet-die-with-james-wolfensohn/

James Wofensohn was also one of the philanthropists that had the hair brained idea of buying the productive and state of the art Jewish farms and agricultural machines and systems in Gaza, in order to persuade Israel to leave Gaza. As soon as the Israelis left, local Arabs trashed and burned every single appurtenance and every home, barn, greenhouse and all the produce…..rsk

A review of the Quartet’s website is instructive in examining just what’s wrong with the body. Its failures—and they are plentiful—stem from its entire approach to Israel.

James Wolfensohn, the former president of the World Bank Group, passed away on Nov. 15, and in the conclusion of his obituary, The New York Times quoted his “mission impossible” quip about his envoy experience with the Quartet on the Middle East.

“The Middle East turned out to be my mission impossible,” claimed Wolfensohn. He was tasked with working on Israel’s so-called disengagement from the Gaza Strip. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair would succeed Wolfensohn in leading the Quartet and be the last leader of the Quartet to have any gravitas on the world stage.

The Quartet has outlived both the involvement of Wolfensohn and Blair, who ended his own involvement with his 2015 resignation and now has outlived Wolfensohn himself. But it has also quite literally outlived its usefulness, if it ever had any at all.

This Crisis Demands a Constitutional Analysis of Voting Machines Jeff Crouere

https://townhall.com/columnists/jeffcrouere/2020/12/06/this-crisis-demands-a-constitutional-analysis-of-voting-machines-n2581110

There are constitutional rules on how prisons are operated, how zoning laws must be drafted and what rights members of the LGBT community must be accorded; however, there are no rules regarding modern voting machines, as well as the hardware and software used to tabulate votes.

Clearly, some constitutional rules should apply to these machines because they control our most basic rights, which includes the right to vote and the right to have it counted honestly.

It must surely be considered unconstitutional for a municipality to utilize voting machines that allow poll workers to switch a vote if they thought a mistake was made. Poll workers cannot be allowed to hack into the machine’s hardware or software and reverse a vote just because they thought a voter hit the wrong button.

Consequently, the idea that there must be constitutional rules regarding both the hardware and the software used in voting machines is not far-fetched, and indeed, its implementation is now obviously long overdue.

Millions of Americans have been closely following the president’s legal challenges to the 2020 election. The reams of evidence the president’s team have compiled indicates severe problems with the hardware and software used to cast and count votes. The focus has been on several swing states, but the problems might be prevalent across the country.

It seems possible to not only change votes, but also to disregard votes and create large batches of phony votes out of thin air.

Our approach to election fraud is lunacy By Jay Latimer

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/our_approach_to_election_fraud_is_lunacy.html

Does no one really care about our country?

Nothing is more important to our rights as a citizen than being assured of a free and fair election.  If we can’t trust in our election process, are we really in a democracy or just a banana republic?

Tens of millions of Americans feel with good reason that the election is tainted.  There are hundreds of well documented anomalies including over a thousand affidavits stating under the penalty of perjury that significant irregularities occurred.

But we are relying on a skeleton crew of privately funded lawyers to try to get to the bottom of what by all accounts appears to be a massive fraud.  Why is this all-important effort left to a few brave souls and not the main focus of our government’s efforts?

Where is the Justice Department?  The FBI?  Why doesn’t the Defense Department do a review of military mail-in ballots that inexplicably went 100% for Joe Biden?

How about a forensic analysis of the tens of thousands of Biden-only mail-in ballots that weren’t folded and appeared to be on different paper?  Who rented the P.O. boxes used for tens of thousands of illegal voters in Georgia and other states?  Where is the investigation of postal officials who ordered carriers to throw away Trump mailings?  Why aren’t the poll workers who sent observers home and then illegally continued counting in the dark of the night arrested and charged?

More suspicious voting data arise in Virginia By Maker S. Mark

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/more_suspicious_voting_data_arise_in_virginia.html

There are many questions about the presidential election others have documented.  Virginia would seem to have been solidly blue.  Ms. Powell and others continue to insist they have evidence of something in the vote-counting in Virginia.  To further my personal mission to examine some of the data myself, I applied the same formulas to the Virginia JSON data that I utilized on the Pennsylvania data.

My goal is to find additional items that need to be questioned and audited in any state with discrepancies. I have calculations now that allow me to extract the vote total, the percentages to each candidate, and the timestamp in the JSON file.  I now have the ability to examine by hour or by minute the reported totals.  In Virginia, I found some items that I have to question.  I will continue to examine additional states throughout the weekend.

This is the first example of a data issue for Virginia.  We see the vote totals decrease twice over the space of 18 minutes.  The time stamps for the decrease are 05:12 and 05:30.  (Remember, this is the UTC time reported in the JSON files used by the MSM.)

France Is Still Under Attack by Guy Millière

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16818/france-under-attack

“If nothing changes, in a few decades, France will have submitted to Islam, and Islamic violence will probably be even greater than today. It is already almost impossible for the country’s leaders to react. They are hostages of a Muslim population that is less and less integrated and whose anger they do not want to arouse. They are under the gaze of groups that immediately denounce any criticism of Islam and under pressure from many countries in the Muslim world that France does not want to offend”. — Alan Wagner, “L’Europe face à l’islam”, interview on Tepa, August 2, 2020.

“For Muslims, Islamic law has God as its author. Any other legislator is illegitimate.” — Mohammed Hocine Benkheira, historian, Le Point, March 21, 2016.

“Macron… is still not able to pinpoint the real problem because it would be politically incorrect for him to do so… This is the problem with someone like Macron and what he’s saying… they can never acknowledge that what’s happening is integral or a part of authentic Islam….” — Raymond Ibrahim, “Islamic Terror in France”, SkyWatch TV, October 30, 2020.

“France still does not understand the reality it is facing. It believes that it has been struck by terrorists… but it is suffering a guerrilla war that is gradually gaining momentum…” — Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, lexpress.fr, October 18, 2020.

October 29. Nice, the main city on the French Riviera. A man in the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption decapitates a woman and murders two other people while shouting “Allahu Akbar!” [“Allah is the greatest!”]

This is the second beheading in France by an extremist Muslim in less than a month. Two weeks earlier, on October 16, a middle school teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded in the suburbs of Paris after showing his students some Mohammad cartoons during a discussion on freedom of speech.

Melissa Carone, Michigan election witness, becomes a ‘star’ By John Dietrich

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/melissa_carone_michigan_election_witness_becomes_a_star.html

Election witness Melissa Carone has had the courage to testify, and as a result, she is being held up to ridicule.

The Michigan House Oversight Committee hearings have provided some interesting information. Contrary to what Attorney General Bill Barr has stated (“to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”) and what the Associated Press has reported (“Donald Trump’s persistent, baseless claims”), there appears to be overwhelming evidence of fraud.  It is repeatedly asserted, “Claims of widespread voter fraud and accusations that Democrats engaged in a coordinated scheme to steal the election have been repeatedly debunked.”  The repetition does not necessarily make it true.

An extremely effective witness was Melissa Carone.  

Carone has been pilloried because she was not sufficiently obsequious when responding to our elite legislators.  It is claimed that she must have been drunk.  She appeared to be “slurring her words.”  Her past has been gone over with a fine-tooth comb.  She has a criminal history.  Everything is being done to discredit her except for an analysis of what she is alleging.  Her testimony is just dismissed.  

In defense of Carone’s critics, she does sound like a “valley girl.”  This is a dialect that frequently reveals a lack of seriousness.  However, a close review of her testimony does not suggest that she lacks intelligence.  It also does not reveal any slurred speech.  At the 6:49 point of the video Carone had to assist Rep. Cynthia Johnson find the word “oath.”  Perhaps Rep. Johnson had been drinking.  Carone’s major failing was that she was not sufficiently humble.

The chair of the committee, Matt Hall, asked her, “But why is that we’re not having more people come forward?”  Her response explains why so few people have come forward: “I’ll tell you why.  My life has been destroyed.  My life has been completely destroyed because of this.  I’ve lost family. I’ve lost friends. I’ve been threatened.  My kids have been threatened.  I’ve had to move.  I’ve had to change my phone number.  I’ve had to get rid of social media.  Nobody wants to come forward.  They’re getting threatened. Their lives are getting ruined.  I can’t even get an actual job anymore because Democrats like to ruin your lives.”  She is not the only person to allege intimidation.  

Bringing History to the Classroom: The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History . By Mike Sabo

https://realclearwire.com/articles/2020/12/04/bringing_history_to_the_classroom_the_gilder_lehrman_institute_of_american_history_651924.html

Though it’s easy to be pessimistic about America’s future after such a traumatic year, James Basker, president of the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, feels optimistic: “History teaches us that our country has faced terrible crises in the past and still found its way forward.”

GLI offers a full-spectrum view of American history to classrooms and the general public by providing a vast collection of primary source documents, along with education programs and interactive online exhibits.

Housed at the New-York Historical Society, GLI’s publicly accessible archive contains a treasure trove of documents from 500 years of American history, from Christopher Columbus’s 1493 letter describing the New World to letters soldiers sent back home while fighting World War II and in Vietnam.

GLI’s namesakes are the late Richard Gilder, an investor who helped revitalize New York’s Central Park and the New-York Historical Society, among other important New York City landmarks; and Lewis Lehrman, an entrepreneur, academic, and author of many well-received books such as Lincoln at Peoria: The Turning Point and Lincoln & Churchill: Statesmen at War.

Basker has fond recollections of Gilder, who died earlier this year. “Dick rejoiced at the flow of immigrants into America and did everything he could to encourage it,” he says, “because of his passionate belief that our country was based on a set of ideals anyone of any background could embrace and make their own.”
