The word is “horrendous”.
Ben Shapiro over at Real Clear Politics looks at the oncoming free train and says…
After spending two years avoiding serious questions about his policy preferences, his team and his prospective presidency, we now know what Joe Biden intends to do should the Electoral College, as expected, vote for him in December: He’ll reopen the swamp for business. The media spent four long years suggesting that President Donald Trump was steeped in corruption, ensconced in partisanship, enmeshed in dangerous foreign policy fiascos. The media assured us that they would defend democracy from Trump’s brutalities, that they would spend every waking moment fighting to prevent anyone from accepting Trumpian standards as the “new normal.”
And of course let’s ignore the fact that that’s precisely the change that the people voted for back in 2016.
Instead, the media suggested we needed to return to the old “normal” — by which they meant a system in which the media and Democrats worked hand-in-glove together to lie to the American public about the content of policy (“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor!” — former President Barack Obama); in which conventional wisdom was treated as gospel truth, no matter how wrong it was (“There will be no advanced and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process” — John Kerry on Israel); and in which cozy relationships between corporations and government were considered de rigueur.
essentially, what we’re going to have is four years worth of liberal backsliding. Assuming that the country lasts quite that long under their “leadership”.
Frankly at this point that’s an open question.
We’ve been played, folks.

A new study published in the journal Nature has found that people who are either asymptomatic or undergoing a secondary illness of COVID-19 are simply not infectious, and don’t give the virus to others.
In other words, it appears that the only time people can infect others is when they have the virus for the first time, and only when they are symptomatic. Lock downs and the use of masks by the healthy accomplish nothing. All you need to do is quarantine the symptomatic patient, as human societies have been doing for centuries and centuries.

The emphasis is mine.
…and I wouldn’t say it was completely useless, after all it helped sway an election. Ladies and gentlemen, what we have been witness to is Stalin and the chicken writ large. And it would appear that Americans have figured that part out

I DON’T WANT TO READ ANOTHER ANALYSIS OF “WHY TRUMP LOST” BECAUSE HONESTLY? ALL INDICATIONS ARE TRUMP NOT ONLY DIDN’T LOSE. HE OUTSTRIPPED THE WIN THAT THE DEMS COUNTED ON SO MUCH THEY HAD TO BE BLATANT IN THEIR FRAUD
And the reason I don’t want to hear it is because this is not remotely about Trump anymore. This is about us, and our right to representation. This is about a Republic if we can keep it. So stop rolling over, because rolling over is going to get you under the boot of the global oligarchy. You’re Americans. Remember that. Stand on two.
This is no time to be “reasonable.” Mr. Reasonable has left the room. And he’s taken Ms. Conciliatory with him.
Deb at at American Greatness digs in..
Giuliani stressed that he has 100 more affidavits attesting to election fraud but the witnesses are afraid to have their names publicized because “they don’t want to have their lives torn apart by the goons on the other side.
“We don’t do that to them” the former NY mayor noted. “They’ve done that to a lot of our people And they’ve done it for four years. And it’s outrageous that it’s tolerated, and it’s tolerated because YOU condone it in the press and you don’t cover it and you don’t condemn it,” Giuliani declared, pointing at the reporters in the room. “A lawyer shouldn’t have to withdraw from a case because he’s representing the president of the United States.”
“In Michigan and Wisconsin we have overvotes in numerous precincts of 150 percent, 200 percent, and 300 percent. One of the reasons the two Republicans did not certify in Wayne County, Michigan is because the overvote was so high—monstrously high in about two thirds of the precincts in the city of Detroit,” Giuliani told reporters.
Sidney Powell said that she has collected evidence of a vote switching scheme involving Dominion machine and Smartmatic software.
She told reporters that the Smartmatic technology software was developed in Venezuela to steal elections for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez almost 15 years ago, and stated that she had a strong witness who had submitted an affidavit testifying to that.

This isn’t going away, folks.
This thing has smelled from the beginning and now it’s beginning to be revealed.
According to reports I’m seeing the official numbers of people who have left New York City since March to take up life elsewhere in the country easily tops 300,000 people. Since some of those numbers are change of address which could include entire families the number is in all likelihood much higher period some estimates I see as high as 750,000.
I know people that have spent their entire lives in New York City never having traveled outside of it for more than a day or two, who are now considering leaving the place permanently.

I’ve spoken with moving companies and what they tell me is precisely the same thing I’m hearing on local news in NYC… Existing moving trucks are booked until at least mid-june.
Reasons officially listed for this mad rush to the exits?
Everything being closed down, and covid-19. The real reason, of course, is government, which has both mishandled the coronavirus, and has shut everything down. In this case, specifically, Cuomo the lesser, and de Blasio the communist. Because of those two idiots, crime is through the ceiling, (NYPD being throttled as it is) disease is rampant, taxes are outrageous, and the price of everything is through the roof. All of these can be directly laid on the lap of government both city and state.
I grant you that 750,000 people in terms of New York City doesn’t seem all that large, and can likely be counted as one city block.the thing is, this Exodus shows no sign whatsoever of slowing down anytime soon.
One can only hope that the New Yorkers that have finally reached the international “enough” line, and have made for the exits don’t bring their Democrat party voting habits with them thereby turning wherever they move to into the same hell that they escaped.
I am sure Eric will appreciate this story. There are few jobs with warmer hot seats that an on-air broadcast personality. The on-air talent sells his trust, and the company sells advertising. Lose the trust, lose the advertising.
Fox has lost the trust of patriotic Americans and is losing audience, look who is gaining, from Red State:
Well, this is unexpected. While I knew Fox News was losing viewers (at least during the times when Tucker Carlson and the rest of the prime time lineup aren’t saving them), I didn’t expect a competing, right-leaning network to do this well, this soon against the conservative news giant.
Newsmax broke 1 million viewers for the first time ever. ‘Greg Kelly Reports’ was the happy recipient of what appears to be a wave of Republican viewers changing the channel.
Fox News gained fifty percent market share when it was a dependable patriotic news source. That share is up for grabs. If a playboy like Ted Turner can make his cable news, I am sure that a businessman, say Donald J. Trump (Sr. or Jr.) can as well. The magazines are full of ordinance read to fire.
Addendum: (Eric)
I was wondering which way that particular race was going to go. I am reminded of a somewhat less critical battle between AM radio stations back in the middle 70s, here in the Rochester area, between WBBF and WAXC, the two top 40 stations in town at that time.
WBBF was a little 1,000 w station that for almost a decade have been kicking butt on the rest of the market, all but one of which had larger coverage.
Along came WAXC, who decided they were going to challenge the hold that BBF had on the market. It took them a few years but they eventually did it period when they did the owners decided okay I’ve had enough and they sold it to a new owner who immediately changed the format and the call sign of the station. Completely different feel, completely different music, and their audience basically disappeared overnight. The new call was WWWG, which, the local pundits labeled “what went wrong guys?”
I’d like to say that’s all this is with Fox news. Even though the majority of it fits, there is a political angle to all of this that cannot be ignored… And the repercussions of it are going to be large.
Do you know if anybody else that actually has three autobiographies? That’s our Barry. I think we have an operative description for “vane and self-centered.” I mean, look I will grant you that anyone running for office has a healthy ego, but, come on.
I’m not going to bother linking it but the New York Times reviewed it a couple of days ago and is absolutely orgasmic over it. Then again, they would be.
Found this elsewhere this morning…

“In his forthcoming memoir, “A Promised Land,” Obama claims Trump’s presidency was the result of “millions of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House.”
So what you’re saying is Donald Trump got elected because we’re all racist. It always seems to come back to that crutch, doesn’t it?
Sorry, Barry, but, no. There are several Black people I would be proud to cast my vote for president.
I was “spooked” by a leftist in the White House who hates Americans, Christians, and White people. It had absolutely nothing to do with your skin color.
Allow me to put this as plainly as possible;
I don’t give a damn what your skin color is. If you are of the idiotic mindset that government is the solution, you are the problem.

First of all let’s remember that the covid-19 virus was cooked up in a lab in China.
Let’s also remember that the Democrats have always been in China’s pocket

So along comes Grandpa Gropes, saying that he plans to shut the entire country down including just about everybody for 6 weeks. He makes the claim that this will help the economy.
Well it doesn’t make sense on the surface, this claim, but let’s dig in.
I’ve been saying all along that the virus would basically disappear along about the time that the election came along. We even have several Democrats on file linking the two events. We either vote for basement joe, or you’ll never get out of the lockdowns. Gretchen Whitmer for one.
It would have disappeared by now too, assuming that we weren’t all playing “stay behind the mask”. that nonsense is kind of like novocaine which doesn’t deaden pain it merely postpones it. What we did … All we did..
was we postponed the demise of the disease as a problem.
Even so, covid19 has about run its course. In another 6 weeks regardless what else happens, it will no longer be a factor. So in doing this, Basement Joe gets to shut down the economy, claim that it’s all Trump’s fault, and then claim that he fixed the whole problem, and when he opens things up again the economy takes off,comparatively speaking…. After being nearly dead for a year because of this nonsense, it could hardly do otherwise.
It’s a clever move, but rather transparently fraudulent.
It’s also premature, given that the election is hardly a settled question yet.
The Democrats fully understand that point too. Didn’t anybody notice that all of a sudden, when the election did not come out with a clear winner, suddenly there were spikes of covid-19 in the reporting of the MSM?
Now what do you suppose could cause that?
Never let it be said that I thought that Slow Joe, a/k/a Potemkin Joe, b/k/a Joseph Biden(moron – DE) was smart. Oh in is younger days, and his fleeting rational moments, he was glib.
The Angel of the Night, Sarah Hoyt, dug a great, but too long to excerpt analysis from Larry Correia, who asks experts in the field of fraud if they had ever seen case with so many red flags that was not fraud:
Former military intelligence professional here (yes, we did investigations without any evidentiary standards to get in the way). I’m insulted at how sloppy with was carried out.
Information operations depend on not being noticed. They have to be part of what looks like the background noise to nudge people toward a conclusion. If the hand is seen, the magic is lost and the mark spots the trick.
Team Biden engineered over the last four years a layered plan to still the election. One they inflated Slow Joe’s apparent popularity with rigged polls. Two, dug up, registered and voted dead voters. Three the used Chinese software to steal Trump votes for Slow Joe. to put him over their anticipated Trump totals. Then the scat hit the fan. Trump exceeded Team Biden’s projects. Team Joe had a panic attack, closed down the vote count, and dumped hundreds of thousands to blank ballots into democrat controlled polling centers.
Now Team Biden can deny the vote fraud, but it sure looks and smells
like vote fraud. What looks like a crime should be investigated as if it were a crime, steps:
- Investigate the apparent crime. If the stats attorney general says that the vote count had to stopped because a pipe burst, make him show the broken pipe.
- Insure that every valid ballot is counted and every invalid one rejected.
- If possible remedy the vote count.
- Award the electors only to the side which has the greater probability of being the winner. It is only necessary to identify the fact of vote fraud at this stage. The conviction can wait.
- Find and prosecute the guilty parties. I’d start with who called the democrat tabulating centers and told them to stop the count. Somebody in charge of the centered issued an order to stop counting and somebody directed the stop.
Hold every, state and federal, democrat and republican, politician’s feet to the fire. Remember President Donny, and team, was persecuted for four years over fictional case created and pushed at the behest of Mrs. Clinton
Al Gore conceded on December 13th.
Someone remind me.
What’s the date today?
There is an old saying that suggests any organization that does not specifically start as a conservative organization will end up working in precisely the opposite direction, eventually.
Apparently, so it is with FoxNews.
I will start with Jack Hellner over at American Thinker.
I used to enjoy watching Fox News with news host Bret Baier, which was a great remedy to ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. But not all that much anymore, because it seems to be going left. (Correction: Fox News ratings are not declining, as earlier indicated, and FNC has been #1 in cable news for 22 weeks in a row.)
I see it in places I’d never expect. Take Baier. Recently, Baier said he has a tough time explaining Sean Hannity. Bret has been moving left just like the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page has. (The news section has long been hopelessly left-wing.)
Why are Baier and so many others acting so out of character? I think it’s because all those people obviously want to be liked by their peers and don’t care about their viewers. Instead of giving us any sort of balance in the news, they are rapidly coming to resemble their peers.

Whike I agree with Hellner that’s probably a lot of it, it goes a little deeper than that.
The management has changed at Fox, and not for the better.
Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit sinks his teeth into this one:
Well it’s official, FOX News has decided that crushing the competition is no longer their goal. Instead, the CEO decided to join its far-left competition and symbolically indicated that FOX will now be far-left as well. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, the son who recently took over the reigns of the company from his elderly father, is now running the show. This explains the far-left bias during the daily news shows on the FOX News channel when Trump supporters either tune them out, turn them off or gratefully go to work so they don’t have to watch the daily shows.
Son Lachlan is bound and determined to turn FOX News into CNN. He evidently has no common sense and is willing to stick it to his customers (viewers) who are not of the same ideology as he is. Unfortunately, the younger Murdoch is not concerned with keeping FOX a going concern, but rather making sure far-left ideas are pushed to viewers.
So much for Fox News.
You would think, I suppose, that these new Fox executives would be worried about losing viewers but that’s not how social justice warriors like these work.
In October 2013, 34 times more people registered firearms than registered for Obamacare.
Assuming the Democrats managed to drag his sorry backside over the finish line, what do you suppose the reaction is going to be to a Joe Biden presidency?
Buckle up kiddies, incoming!!
The top boss of all the election officials, Trey Trainor, has confirmed that in his professional opinion, “there has not been transparency in the election” and “this election is illegitimate.“
He dropped the bombshell on the liberal news media at Newsmax when he made the announcement that he believes “that there is voter fraud taking place in these places.”
Gee, no kidding.
I sense a change in the wind, says I.
Interesting point made on the five this evening. Basically this.
Remember when Democrats were telling us that the protests were mostly peaceful, something seven or eight percent of the people involved with the BLM etc were violent disruptive? It didn’t take 7% for that business to turn ugly in a hurry.
Time was, when the Democrats were trying to convince us that there was no voter fraud. That’s changed..Right now the Democrats are claiming that there is no evidence of mass voter fraud.
The thing is, that’s never really been the issue. The issue is the one or two percent in various areas like Philadelphia and Wisconsin and Georgia and New York City and Detroit.

It only takes a small percentage of fraud to tip the scales in an election, particularly when it’s this close. You’ll never hear any of the Democrats or for that matter the news media say that. But… That’s what’s going on here
And have you noticed that when vote fraud comes up it always seems to be favoring the Democrats? That’s not an inconsequential trend.
