Brennan ‘Concerned’ What Trump Might do in the Next 70 Days, Calls For Trump to be Removed From Office

Former CIA Director John Brennan this week called for President Trump to be removed from office.

John Brennan went into panic mode after President Trump terminated Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday.

“In 70 days, you can do a lot of damage in 70 days. He is still president of the United States and is he going to carry out these vendettas against other individuals… I’m very concerned what he might do in his remaining 70 days in office,” Brennan told CNN’s Chris Cuomo.

“Is he going to take some type of military action? Is he going to release some type of information that could, in fact, threaten our national security interests?” he added.

“What can be done? Cuomo said.

“If Vice President Pence and the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism, I think they would seriously consider invoking the 25th Amendment and, you know, pushing Donald Trump out because he is just very unpredictable now,” Brennan said.

Kayleigh McEnany brandishes 200 pages of affidavits alleging voter fraud as she appears on Hannity a day after being cut-off by Fox for unsubstantiated claims - as former RNC chair admits the numbers are too small to make a difference

08:41 - News

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany appeared on Fox News to present 234 pages of affidavits she claimed were proof that election fraud took place, as she listed new cases the Trump campaign alleges to have uncovered.

Her appearance on Hannity came a day after the network cut away from McEnany as she spoke in a 'personal capacity', claiming that they could not air her claims of fraud as they were unsubstantiated.

Yet she was given free reign on Tuesday night, listing a number of allegations as both she and RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel vowed that they would continue to contest the election result until the end.

McDaniel revealed that they have now received claims of 11,000 incidents of fraud from witnesses and have compiled 500 affidavits from these witnesses so far, as they work slowly to verify their claims. So far Republicans have filed a tiny handful of affidavits making it impossible to verify McEnany's claims that the 500 contain fraud.

Yet their claims of new evidence came just minutes after former RNC Chair Reince Priebus warned Hannity that if the GOP is to continue fighting for the chance to appeal the results they have to stop trying to make claims of fraud in places which they convincingly lost.

Despite broadcasting the claims of fraud from Trump-loyal Republicans over the past few days, Fox has announced Joe Biden as winner, as have the other major networks.

McEnany claims she is working in a 'personal capacity' for the Trump campaign; as a government employee she is forbidden from speaking on political issues. It is unclear if the Harvard law graduate - she got in on a transfer - is speaking in her capacity as an attorney.

McEnany had with her the 234 pages of affidavits she said came from Wayne County, Michigan, and brandished them as proof on several occasions while berating the media she accused of ignoring the reports.

'We keep hearing the drum beat of where is the evidence but right here 234 pages of sworn affidavits, from real people, real allegations, signed with notaries,' she said.

'In one county, Wayne County, Michigan, in one batch of ballots, 60 percent had the same signatures, 35 had no voter record but were counted anyway, 50 ballots were run multiple times through a machine.

'One woman said her son was deceased but still voted,' she added. None of those claims can be verified and the affidavits have not been released.

Arizona Secretary of State Rejects ‘Independent Analysis’ of Voting Data, Says It Would Amplify Baseless Theories

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) rejected a request for an “independent analysis” of voting data in the state, concluding that it would simply amplify the voices of people who seek to “undermine our democratic process for political gain.”

“It is patently unreasonable to suggest that, despite there being zero credible evidence of any impropriety or widespread irregularities, election officials nonetheless have a responsibility to prove a negative,” Hobbs wrote in response to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann (R), who requested an “independent analysis” of voting data to restore confidence and credibility among residents.

“To be clear, there is no ‘current controversy’ regarding elections in Arizona, outside of theories floated by those seeking to undermine our democratic process for political gain,” Hobbs continued, adding that elected officials should “work to build, rather than damage, public confidence in our system” before formally denying the request:

I respectfully decline your request to push aside the work that remains to be done to ensure an orderly completion of this election and instead launch and fund with taxpayer dollars a boundless “independent” evaluation of “all data related to the tabulation of votes in the 2020 General Election.”

The Prescott Republican made the request on Monday, contending that an independent analysis would “help to restore credibility and hopefully end the current controversy over fairness in the election process in Arizona” given the mounting concerns and suspicions of fraud and abuse.

“I am not claiming fraud was involved in Arizona’s election, but we must do everything we can to satisfy Arizonans that the count was lawfully done,” Fann added.

The state Senate leader has maintained that the request is reasonable, particularly if the allegations are, in fact, baseless as Hobbs assumes.

“If there’s no factual basis on any of these things, then absolutely, let’s put that to rest and show them that’s not true,” Fann said on Wednesday. “If there’s something there that needs to be fixed, let’s fix it.”

Philippines again suspends plans to order US troops out of the country

The Philippines has once again suspended its decision to end its longstanding military pact with the United States and get all American troops out of the country.

Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin released a statement on Twitter saying Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had instructed him to convey “his decision to extend the suspension of the abrogation of the Visiting Forces Agreement by yet another 6 months.”

The Foreign Ministry’s statement laid out how delaying the cancellation would allow the Philippines and US to “find a more enhanced, mutually beneficial, mutually agreeable and more effective and lasting arrangement.”

The Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the two nations came into effect in 1999, allowing the US to station troops at five military bases and participate in joint training and military exercises with Philippine forces.

Duterte has been vocal about his opposition to US forces in the region and has called for America to withdraw all troops from the Philippines, accusing them of interfering in the country’s foreign policy. Instead of fostering the long-term alliance with America, shortly after taking office, Duterte announced his “separation” from the US and stated he was realigning the country with China. Declaring that “America has lost,” he laid out plans for Beijing and Manila to work together on increasing military and economic cooperation.

Earlier this year, Duterte notified Washington DC that Manilla would be cancelling the deal, following a dispute over the United States denying a senator a visa. America refused entry to Duterte’s ally and former national police chief Senator Ronald dela Rosa in January 2020, after he was blacklisted over allegations he was involved in extrajudicial killings as part of the country’s drug war.

Duterte previously delayed the decision to end the pact in June without explaining his reasoning, only saying that it came “in light of political and other developments in the region.”

Chaos erupts after Dems claim that USPS whistleblower recanted his testimony, whistleblower denies recanting

The bizarre case of the Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S. Postal Service whistleblower who claims that he overheard his supervisors discussing backdating the postmarks on absentee ballots took another twist Tuesday when Democrats on the House Oversight Committee claimed that the whistleblower recanted, only to have the whistleblower release a video denying that he recanted.

The whistleblower, who has been identified as Richard Hopkins, claimed in an affidavit that he overheard his supervisor telling another postal employee that he had backdated a group of mail-in ballots that were collected on Nov. 4 to make it appear that they had in fact been mailed on Nov. 3. Under a ruling from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, ballots that were mailed by Nov. 3 will still be counted (pending a legal challenge to this ruling) even if they were received after Election Day.

It is important to note that, even if the whistleblower's allegations are true, none of the ballots received after Nov. 3 have yet been counted or added to either candidate's total. Thus, the whistleblower's allegations do not directly pertain to Biden's current lead in the state. The state has revealed that about 10,000 votes total were received in the mail between Nov. 3 and Friday, but those ballots have remained sequestered and uncounted pending the Trump campaign's legal challenge to their inclusion. Presumably, if the Trump campaign's challenge fails, those ballots will only serve to increase Biden's current lead in the Keystone State.

Nevertheless, the whistleblower's affidavit has become a flash point of controversy as it represents one of the few concrete allegations of voter fraud that have been brought forth by the campaign. The affidavit appears to have been the reason for remarks by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) over the weekend promising a Senate Judiciary Committee investigation into voting irregularities.

The controversy intensified Tuesday afternoon when Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a statement claiming that the whistleblower had "recanted" his testimony, a claim that was magnified by many in the media.

Netanyahu Recognized Biden as President-Elect. Now He Has a List of Favors He Wants From Trump

Delayed jumping on the regime coup against investigating the vote for a full 12 hours

For nearly four years, U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East policy—from axing the Iran nuclear deal to marginalizing Palestinians to brokering normalization deals between Israel and Gulf Arab states—has been the gift that keeps on giving for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The policies have helped endear Trump to his evangelical base and allowed Netanyahu to advance his hard-line agenda.

Now, with Trump raging over baseless claims that the U.S. election was “stolen,” some officials and analysts are worried that he’ll use the last 10 weeks of his term to grant more favors to Netanyahu—on Iran and on Jewish settlements in the West Bank—that could complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s approach to the region or, worse, tip it further into chaos.

“Netanyahu hopes to get other things from the Trump administration in the weeks that remain,” said Moav Vardi, an international affairs reporter for Israel’s public broadcaster. “There are a number of issues on the agenda.”

The two sides are already discussing a new round of sanctions on Iran, an issue that reportedly came up during a stop in Jerusalem this week by the U.S. special representative for Iran, Elliott Abrams. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will follow up with a visit to Israel on Nov. 18.

But sanctions might not be the only thing Trump is planning. His recent dismissal of Defense Secretary Mark Esper has spurred speculation that the president might be considering a military attack on Iran.

Netanyahu, long concerned about Iran’s nuclear program, has been agitating for war against the Islamic republic for years.

In addition to pressuring Iran, the Trump administration could still help the Israeli leader by brokering a new diplomatic opening in the Arab world or by looking the other way while Israel takes steps to expand Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

That slate of potential unfinished business might help explain Netanyahu’s silence for more than 12 hours after U.S. news organizations over the weekend projected Biden as the winner in the election, Vardi said. [A whole 12 hours!]

Into The Abyss Of Hell With A Biden Presidency

“You know, there’s a uh, during World War II, uh, you know, where Roosevelt came up with a thing uh, that uh, you know, was totally different than a, than the, the, it’s called, he called it the, you know, the World War II, he had the war – the War Production Board.” —The unintelligible ramblings of the next President of the United States, Joe Biden

As we wrote this, the likelihood that Joe Biden will become president of the United States is pretty much a foregone conclusion. The obstacles against Trump appear to be insurmountable, even with court cases and re-counts. The evidence of voter fraud may be the worst we have seen in the history of the Republic but does it amount to enough votes to declare Trump the winner? It isn’t likely. The forces and the billions of dollars working to elect Joe Biden and defeat Donald Trump were and are formidable and international in scope. Trump was up against overwhelming obstacles that even he couldn’t see.

All that aside, Joe Biden will set about once again to “fundamentally transform” America into his distorted and unconstitutional image of what the Socialist Republic of America should be. The only saving grace will be the Republicans holding onto the Senate.

Even though Wall Street gurus are saying that divided government is a good thing for the markets and the economy, that position overlooks the damage that Biden can do with Executive Orders and appointments to the various cabinet secretaries.

Trump decreased both taxes and regulations and the result was a booming economy. In order to implement the Agenda 21, Green New Deal and Climate Change policies without having to go through Congress, Biden will reverse that trend and there will be an explosion of higher taxes and bureaucratic rules that will dramatically change the face of America, from rural communities to big cities. Biden will appoint Progressive radicals to an alphabet soup of federal agencies. From the EPA, to HUD, to HHS, to DOE, to DOJ, to FBI, to USDA, to NSA, to CIA, to DOD, etc. the directors of these agencies will be drawn from a register of socialists and environmentalists, many from the over-educated, liberal academic community, or from Obama’s czars.

Three areas in which regulations will grow the most will be from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Health and Human Services and the Department of Energy (DOE). Any Biden appointee to the EPA will come with an overriding environmental bias and the regulations emanating from that bias will be draconian. Rural landowners will be a singular target of the new EPA rules. After all, the Green New Deal calls for the phasing out of fossil fuels and cattle. Just try running a farm without fossil fuels. Under a Biden presidency, landowners will need our powerful, legally intimidating No Trespassing signs even more than they do now. (See: HERE and HERE)

Government has spent £333bn on the coronavirus pandemic - more than TWICE the NHS budget: Costs hit £83bn for furlough plus £40bn for 'moonshot' Covid tests as public debt soars above £2TRILLION

The cost to the taxpayer is now more than twice the annual NHS England budget

Includes £240billion from Treasury on measures to save the economy and jobs

£40billion is being spent on the new 'moonshot' coronavirus testing system

£12billion has been spent on much-critisised Test and Trace system

Government spending on anti-coronavirus measures has surpassed an eye-watering third of a trillion pounds since the pandemic began.

Analysis by MailOnline shows that the cost to the taxpayer of saving lives and securing jobs and businesses has reached an astonishing £333billion - more than twice the annual NHS England budget.

The spending includes around £240billion from the Treasury on measures to save the economy and jobs - including around £83 million on furlough.

Billions more are being spent on the new 'moonshot' coronavirus testing system that is being piloted in Liverpool before a nationwide roll-out.

And the estimated £40billion cost that has emerged so far is just for the cost of manufacturing the tests and having them analysed in labs across the UK. It does not include the administrative and logistical costs involved with such a massive project.

On top of the identified spending there is also likely to be billions more in associated costs like an increase in benefit payments caused by the increase in unemployment - although furlough spending is designed to reduce the number of people who find themselves out of work.

The huge figures are likely to cause consternation among Tory MPs. British government debt has surpassed £2trillion, or 103.5 per cent of gross domestic product, its highest since 1960 when the country was still recovering from heavy spending during World War Two.

Annual borrowing looks set to hit 400 billion pounds for its highest share of GDP since the war at around 20 per cent of GDP.

Boris Johnson will face sustained pressure from within his own party not to extend the national lockdown next month after senior backbenchers formed a resistance group.

Former chief whip Mark Harper and ex-Brexit minister Steve Baker will lead a 'Covid recovery group' to oppose any extension of the measure in a Commons vote promised by the Prime Minister.

Mr Johnson argued that the four-week lockdown was needed to prevent an 'existential threat' to the NHS and said he expected England to return to a local tiered system when the measures end on December 2.

But Mr Harper said: 'The cure we're prescribing runs the risk of being worse than the disease.'

Here we look at some of the main areas where taxpayers money has been used in huge amounts:

ANOTHER OFFICIAL DISMISSED AT THE PENTAGON AS TRUMP CONTINUES UNUSUAL SHAKE-UP

“The president is taking back control of DOD. It’s a rebirth of foreign policy. This is Trump foreign policy,” said an official briefed on the effort.

Lee Fang

November 11 2020, 12:28 p.m.

THE SWEEPING DISMISSAL of Pentagon officials, an overhaul that began on Monday with President Donald Trump’s sudden firing of Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, has continued. The Intercept has learned that Mark Tomb, the deputy chief of staff to the undersecretary of defense for policy, was ousted from his position yesterday.

Tomb, who declined to comment when reached by phone, was forced into retirement as part of a wave of firings of top Defense Department officials that included James Anderson, the Pentagon’s acting policy chief; Joseph Kernan, the undersecretary for intelligence; and Esper’s former chief of staff Jennifer Stewart.

The Tuesday exodus represents a major shake-up that has been planned for months, according to one Trump administration official briefed on the effort, with more firings to come across the department.

That official, who shared a draft list of other Pentagon officials under consideration for removal, said that Ellen Lord, the undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, would likely be dismissed next.

…

The firings also make way for controversial figures who are seen as far more dutiful in protecting Trump and carrying out his agenda. Anderson was swiftly replaced on Tuesday with Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata, a former Fox News contributor who had been previously nominated for the Pentagon’s top policy job. Tata’s nomination stalled in the Senate after old tweets were unearthed showing him criticizing former President Barack Obama as a “terrorist leader” and sharing an article that depicted Obama as a “Manchurian candidate.”

Esper maintained a rocky relationship with Trump, which degraded further last summer after he publicly opposed Trump’s call to deploy active-duty military in response to street protests sparked by the police killing of George Floyd. The former Raytheon lobbyist-turned-Pentagon chief was replaced by Chris Miller, the former senior director for counterterrorism and transnational threats at the National Security Council.

Stewart, Esper’s chief of staff, was replaced by Kash Patel, a former National Security Council official who previously served as an aide to Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. Patel gained a following in the administration for his role in leading the push on Capitol Hill to question intelligence agencies and Democratic lawmakers over the Russian collusion probe.

Kernan was replaced by Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a young former aide to Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser. Cohen-Watnick, on an acting basis, will now oversee the Pentagon’s intelligence operations.

The Intercept reported in August that Gina Haspel, the CIA director, and Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, were also at risk of replacement, and the New York Times has now reported that they could be next in line to be removed from office.

DeKalb County (GA) Schools launches ‘Black Lives Matter’ week

DeKalb County Schools says it hopes to engage with students and parents around social justice issues this week.

The school system on Monday launched “Black Lives Matter at DeKalb Schools Week of Action 2020,” which includes five days of events and school-based instructional activities.

“DeKalb County School District is a diverse school district and we celebrate that beautiful diversity in every way,” Superintendent Cheryl Watson-Harris said in a news release. “Black Lives Matter at DeKalb Schools Week of Action 2020 gives our scholars and staff an opportunity to recognize the positive images for our students in our communities while speaking out against racial and social injustices in our communities.”

Events will include a social media celebration of historically Black colleges and universities today, focus on Black-owned businesses in DeKalb County on Tuesday, a “My Black is Beautiful Unity Day” on Wednesday and a student-led panel discussion on Thursday.

“In today’s society, the Black Lives Matter Movement represents a visual representation of what our ancestors fought for throughout history,” DeKalb Board of Education member Diijon DaCosta said. “Our ancestors fought for justice, freedom, equality, and change, which benefits minorities and people of color. We must continue to build on their legacy by being involved, staying informed, and choosing to let our voices be heard.”

Trump ultra-loyalists are installed in series of top Pentagon jobs after purge in wake of Defense Secretary Mark Esper being fired

President Donald Trump's firing of Defense Secretary Marc Esper has broadened into a broader Pentagon purge, with senior civilian officials departing and Trump loyalists coming in.

Trump fired Esper Monday, in the most high-profile move as the White House pushed out a series of top agency officials throughout the government in the days since the election.

But that was just the beginning.

President Donald Trump is conducting a purge of the Pentagon's civilian leadership in the days after the elections, after refusing to concede or congratulate President-elect Joe Biden

Among the loyalists climbing the ranks in the Pentagon is Anthony Tata, a former Fox News commentator who was unable to win Senate confirmation or make it through the Senate Armed Services Committee following disclosures about explosive and racist comments from his past.

He called former President Barack Obama a 'terrorist leader' and falsely said he was a Muslim (Obama is a Christian).

Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Joseph Kernan, a former Navy SEAL who headed SEAL Team 6 and SEAL Team 2, has effectively resigned.

Also coming taking the reins at key posts are Kash Patel, a former aide to Rep. Devin Nunes of California who helped undermine the Russia probe, and Ezra Cohen-Watnick, a former aide to fired National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, as acting undersecretary for intelligence.

Patel will serve as chief of staff, replacing Jen Stewart, who resigned.

Tata, a retired brigadier general, won't be able to work in an 'acting' role, as have many top Trump officials. But the Pentagon is granting him substantial duties of its top policy job.

Feds to Biden: You’re Not Getting Transition Funds Because You Haven’t Won Yet

The funds are usually released the morning after election but in 2000 they were held up until mid-December

The General Services Administration is refusing to turn over nearly $10 million in federal dollars to the Biden camp to begin the transition between administrations, saying the funding won’t be given until it “ascertains the apparent successful candidate once a winner is clear based on the process laid out in the Constitution.”

Which, to those who errantly believe it’s up to cable news outlets to call a presidential race, is very upsetting.

“An ascertainment has not yet been made. GSA and its administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law,” GSA spokeswoman Pamela Pennington said in a statement, reiterating that “the GSA administrator does not pick the winner in the presidential election.”

Pennington added that the GSA is providing the Biden team with whatever aid is currently allowed under the law, but won’t hand over any resources that can only be given once an official winner is declared.

“The administrator’s ascertainment is done for the purposes of making services provided by the PTA available. Until an ascertainment is made, the statute allows for the Biden Transition Team to continue to receive the preelect services from the government (e.g., limited office space, computers, background investigations for security clearances). GSA has met all statutory requirements under the PTA for this election cycle and will continue to do so.”

Back in February, Congress had allocated $9.9 million in federal funding to help with a potential transition between administrations.

But contrary to what many in our woefully uneducated American society believe, it’s not up to CNN, Fox News, Hollywood celebrities or Twitter to determine who won a presidential race. It’s up to Congress and the Electoral College – neither of which have made an official determination on the winner of the 2020 election, which is now tied up in litigation across several key battleground states as the Trump administration has made multiple claims of potential voter fraud and ballot count manipulation.

It Was a Mistake to Close Schools, UK Study Concedes

On March 12, 2020, the memo went out from the pen of Carter Mecher, bioterrorism expert advising the Veterans Administration. It went out to public health officials and others from around the nation. Close the schools. Pull the trigger now. And it happened, and with it, civic freedoms we have long taken for granted – freedom to travel, operate businesses, go to the movies, even leave our homes – were taken away.

They shut the schools. Then it was like dominos falling, one by one. The businesses had to close so that people could watch the kids at home. The shopping centers had to close because otherwise the kids would just gather there. The churches too. Entertainment venues were shut. Even parks closed. The stay-at-home orders followed from the school closures. In many ways, the whole legitimacy of lockdown hinged on the merit of the school closure.

A small group of pro-lockdown scientists cheered, as their decade-and-a-half-old dream of conducting such a social experiment was finally becoming a reality.

The school closures had a disproportionate effect on working women. They left their jobs to care for the kids, attempting to help them navigate the strange new world of Zoom classrooms and do assignments via email. Men stayed working in jobs as the primary breadwinners.

In nine months of this hell, one might suppose there would have been a clear test of whether and to what extent severe outcomes from catching the virus were really associated with school attendance. It has finally arrived, and the news is not good for the lockdowners.

It is by now obvious (and has been since February) that almost no children are in danger from the virus. The age/health gradient of the virus affects almost exclusively the elderly with comorbidities. The children might have been helpful in achieving good public health goals and burning out the virus, rather than losing almost a full year of quality schooling thus far, to say nothing of the trauma of mandatory masks and being taught that their friends are potentially pathogen-carrying enemies.

The kids would have been fine but what about the staff and adults? Does locking up the kids in homes really keep people safe and dial back the infectiousness and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2? How might one test this? One simple way could examine the difference in disease outcomes between domestic environments in which kids are present versus those where they are not.

This seems like an obvious test. Finally just such a study has appeared, as released by the prestigious medical journal Medxriv: “Association between living with children and outcomes from COVID-19: an OpenSAFELY cohort study of 12 million adults in England.”

It is the largest study yet conducted (35 authors) of Covid risk to adults from contact with children, and it has a not-so-surprising conclusion, at least for those who have followed the science so far. It discovered no increase in severe Covid-related outcomes for adults living with children. It demonstrated a small increase in infections but without bad outcomes. In fact, the study demonstrated fewer deaths associated with adults living with children at home than home without children.

To quote from the study directly:

This is the first population-based study to investigate whether the risk of recorded SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe outcomes from COVID-19 differ between adults living in households with and without school-aged children during the UK pandemic. Our findings show that for adults living with children there is no evidence of an increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes although there may be a slightly increased risk of recorded SARS-CoV-2 infection for working-age adults living with children aged 12 to 18 years. Working-age adults living with children 0 to 11 years have a lower risk of death from COVID-19 compared to adults living without children, with the effect size being comparable to their lower risk of death from any cause. We observed no consistent changes in risk of recorded SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe outcomes from COVID-19 comparing periods before and after school closure.

What does this imply?

Our results demonstrate no evidence of serious harms from COVID-19 to adults in close contact with children, compared to those living in households without children. This has implications for determining the benefit-harm balance of children attending school in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Election Uncertainty Prompts Surge in Gun Sales

Fear of a Biden-Harris administration drove Americans to purchase a record number of guns and ammunition in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. And with the election results still uncertain, gun purchases will continue to soar, the Daily Wire reports.

The presidential election is just the latest factor to contribute to a spike in gun sales this year. The COVID-19 pandemic and associated government lockdowns and shortages resulted in an unprecedented growth in firearms ownership in the United States, Ammo.com reports, with two million guns sold in the month of March 2020 alone. An additional three million were sold between March and July.

Data shows the election has also had a significant impact on gun sales. FBI figures reveal more than 3.3 million background checks for gun sales were conducted in October. This marks a 14-percent increase from the prior month, and a 38-percent increase from one year ago.

The Democratic presidential ticket is radically anti-Second Amendment, and when polls falsely indicated Biden was going to handily win the presidency, Americans responded accordingly.

“They’re buying anything they can get their hands on. High capacity magazines, guns, ammo anything that they’re calling assault weapons,” said Chris Harding, owner of H&H Tactical in Exeter, Pennsylvania. “A year ago, before all this started, we would roughly sell 2,000 rounds a month. Now we’re selling between 50 to 70 thousand rounds a week.”

Harding told Fox 56 that 60 percent of his customer base is now first-time gun owners. Those customers have stated they fear a Democratic gun grab if Biden wins the White House.

Forbes reports retailers have said their customers are motivated by political and civil unrest, COVID-19, and the “risk of increased gun control if Democrats win the White House.”

Tellingly, Fox News reports gun sales in the seven key swing states showed a 77-percent increase overall from 2019.

Americans are clearly frightened by the impacts a Biden presidency would have on the Second Amendment.

Just days before Election Day, Biden tweeted, “It’s long past time we take action to end the scourge of gun violence in America. As president, I’ll ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, implement universal background checks, and enact other common-sense reforms to end our gun violence epidemic.”

But Biden’s tweet should not have shocked anyone, given his anti-Second Amendment record.

As noted by Ammo.com, Biden voted for the 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act, and was instrumental in the passage of the Brady Bill. As a Senator, Biden wrote the “assault weapons” ban that expired in 2004.

What we Can Expect from a Biden-Harris Administration: Abject Looting, Scamdemic Tyranny, Hate Crime Hoaxes and Secret ‘Police’

A Little Glimpse of How This New Ol’ Political Cabal Will Operate

This week, globalists and criminal cabals worldwide will undoubtedly be celebrating the announcement of China Joe as the 46th POTUS and Kabala Harris as the nation’s first female veep.

Say what you must about Trump, he did make some progress toward restoring the sovereignty of the United States. Now, after four years of non-stop Lugenpresse “Orange Man bad” propaganda, our country has taken a giant step backward. The old guard used the playbook of Saul Alinsky and ideology of Karl Marx to retake the asylum.

Biden and Harris are not the A Team. They’re the B Team. They’re merely puppets for unseen masters. Their masters include the Clinton crime syndicate, Chicago crime families, Israeli neocons, the Council on Foreign Relations, World Bank, big banks, big tech, Chinese oligarchs, unions, big pharma, etc.

Before long, Americans will not only have to rely on foreign countries for medications and consumer products, we will have to rely on foreign food, as our ag and cattle farms are turned into fields of weeds that supposedly filter carbon from the atmosphere. We will have to go back to relying on foreign oil — but not for long. Auto manufacturers will be given a deadline to stop production of gasoline-powered vehicles, just as has happened in California, which is “Green New Deal” Kabala’s home state.

Was this really what Americans wanted? I doubt it. Nevertheless, here we are. So let’s have a little preview of what we can expect from a Harris-Biden administration.

Scamdemic Looting and Tyranny

Biden announced on Thursday night that his first order of business is covid-1984. It begins with an immediate nationwide mask mandate. You’ll be required to wear a mask on federal property, which means while driving on federal highways and in federal parks. He said he will encourage governors to impose mask mandates — even when people are alone outdoors — and he will strong arm state leaders who do not comply.

Biden also promised “free” vaccinations. Of course, nothing is ever “free.” In Democratic Party speak, “free” means corporate looting. Americans — not the insurance companies — will be expected to burden the cost down the road, and that cost will not be negotiated. It means pharma companies can go back to charging the U.S. five times more than Europe and other countries around the world for the same products and services just as they’ve done for the last couple decades.

Biden has been acting coy about making vaccines mandatory.

Showing Efficacy of Mask Mandates—as Biden Pushes Nationwide Requirement

One retracted study does not prove anything about the effectiveness of masks. Nevertheless, Americans should be wary of sweeping mandates that would use local police to enforce a federal initiative.

A study showing that more than a thousand counties in the US saw COVID-19 hospitalizations decrease after passing mask mandates has been withdrawn. The study, published on October 23 on the medical site medRxiv, had alleged that hospitalizations for COVID-19 decreased in 1,083 US counties after lawmakers passed mask mandates. The article was updated on November 4. “The authors have withdrawn this manuscript because there are increased rates of SARS- CoV-2 cases in the areas that we originally analyzed in this study,” the updated abstract reads. “New analyses in the context of the third surge in the United States are therefore needed and will be undertaken directly in conjunction with the creators of the publicly-available databases on cases, hospitalizations, testing rates.”

A Polarizing Subject The use of face masks has become an increasingly polarizing topic in the US. The effectiveness of masks has been a subject of debate, at least in part because public health officials have sent mixed messages. Early in the coronavirus pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO), the US Surgeon General, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, a leading member of the Trump administration's White House Coronavirus Task Force, all advised against using a mask in public if you were healthy. While the WHO, the Surgeon General, and Fauci eventually modified their position, some of Europe’s top health officials have continued to resist calls to mandate or even recommend the use of masks to slow the spread of COVID-19, saying there is little empirical evidence to suggest they have a positive impact. “The studies so far have not shown a dramatic effect, countries such as France and others, which have obligatory mask-wearing in place, have still experienced a big spread of the disease,” Dr. Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s top infectious disease expert, recently observed.

One retracted study is hardly enough to prove Tegnell and other European health officials are right. But it is likely to fuel debate surrounding the ethics of forcing individuals to wear masks, which some argue is a violation of the Principle of Effectiveness, which states public health agencies are only allowed to recommend interventions they know are effective. It’s also worth pointing out that masks were not initially controversial. Many Americans began wearing masks in public at the onset of the pandemic. Masks did not become polarizing until governments began mandating their use, which has at times resulted in violent confrontations. In May, for example, a 22-year-old mother who was not wearing a face covering was wrestled to the ground by New York City police in front of her child after allegedly refusing to comply with requests to cover her nose and mouth. The encounter prompted the city to end the practice of arresting people for not wearing masks. The woman, Kaleemah Rozier, announced in June she is suing the city for $10 million for excessive force.

Judge Jeanine Appears to Take Veiled Swipe at Fox, Slams Censorship and Cancel Culture

Fox News host, Judge Jeanine has taken to Twitter earlier today to show her anger towards censorship. Included in that tweet she mentioned being censored on social media and that she “despises censorship on tv!”.

This statement comes after reports came out saying Fox News canceled her show as she was going to “expose” voter fraud.

This has only been reported and we are still unclear whether the show was canceled because of the election or direct action against the Judge.

Below you can see her Tweet.

As we previously reported yesterday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut off White House Press Secretary Kayleigh Mcenany when she was talking about voter fraud as he said there was “zero evidence”.

Fox seems to be taking a sharp turn to the left regarding the election and voter fraud across the country.

We will have to wait until the weekend to see if the Judge will return or whether she is facing punishment.

If Fox fires her, they should expect a large push back from their audience as it is just another example of what Fox is turning into.
