Seems like its Contention 4, America 0, but who knows?
Biden been declared the winner, there are too many states that aren't that close, but Trump hasn't quit.
Maybe Trump will follow the Hillary 2016 playbook - after conceding the race she joined a no-hope recount effort just to assure her supporters that every stone had been turned and then thrown.
Team Trump should spend a few minutes in Philly. Cobble together a Steal Dossier, fire up the FBI for some ludicrous FISA warrants, and away we go! Flip the House in 2022, impeach Biden... never gets old. [Uhhh, it was old the first time..]

Actually, I want to see the Trump plane flying from city to city broadcasting snark by shortwave. Melania can do daily fashion critiques of Dr. Biden, which someone SHOULD have done over Big Mike's wardrobe, and so forth.
That family and a few like Ric Grenell have been the only interesting people on TV anyway.

Jeff Sessions HAD to have known he would need to recuse on the Russia hoax before he became AG. The question is WHY, when all along his big deal in the campaign was straightening out immigration, did he turn down DHS and press for AG?
Posted by: MissMarple2 | November 08, 2020 at 10:55 AM
No, there isn't a winner. The late philly ballots will be thrown out and some key precincts will be audited and pitched. OTOH the media has fomented civil war so that when Biden is not sworn in, hunker down or fight.

--Trump was essentially Step 2 of the Tea Party. I've said all along the derp state wouldn't like the next step if they didn't play by the rules.--
Best thing I've read today.
WE not they hold the trump card because of the Founders.
They can escalate but, contra dipshit Barry, we own the guns, the history, the legacy and the determination to bring 300 million guns to a knife fight. [The number of formerly meek, mild and humble Christians now with clenched jaws, approaching me for advice on what to arm up with for what is coming is impressive and something I've never seen the like of]
If the leftist enemies were aiming for a benign dictatorship they might boil us to death, but they aren't. They are deep down totalitarians because the ideology they serve is a totalitarian one. It can and will end no other way than them attempting to enforce their rule over us and to silence us and take our God given rights and our political liberty. They already are. And on top of that they will impoverish us to enrich themselves and their far flung globalist pals. They're doing that too.
That's why they prefer to be citizens of the world, because they are today's version of the Comintern; they have more in common with, more affinity for and have made common cause with their globally like minded progs against the United States. Biden and Harris will profess fealty to the US and the Constitution but we have seen Biden's true fealty on his son's laptop and Harris strikes me as something not far from a psychopath.
So you can think this will end with us meekly giving in but if you do, you truly are a fool and very wrong. Now is the time to gird your loins for what is coming eventually. It might still be decades away or possibly months. As a wise guy once said; “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour”. I don't pretend to know the future, but history and my own lying eyes give me the chance to hazard a pretty decent guess and so let's keep watch together.
And while we do let's consider the words of another wise guy; “A man’s rights rest in three boxes: the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.”
Frederick Douglas said that after the Civil War when our present tyrant's predecessors in interest were attempting to disarm freed blacks.
We have already lost or are in the process of losing the first two boxes. The stark red line they cannot be allowed to cross and will not be allowed to cross is the last one.

--Also, (if he does lose) thinking that Trump might be the guy for us in 2024 is unrealistic (age) and unhelpful. It is time to pass the torch to a younger generation of leaders for our movement, and if there are none, then that right there is our problem.
Moses led his people to, but not into, the Promised Land.--
I don't concur with this.
In November 2024 Trump will be five months older than Biden is right now. Barring any serious health issues in the interim he will be about 20 years younger mentally than the Paste Eater in chief.
And Moses didn't didn't get to lead his people into the Promised Land because he disobeyed God in how he was to lead the people, not because he was too old.

Just to clarify; optimism doesn't mean you don't think bad things are going to happen or have not already happened. That is foolishness, perhaps even idealism [h/t JMH :)]
It means you believe they will be overcome. Recognition of reality gives the prudent the opportunity to take those steps that make that happen.
So, my advice? Arm yourselves and advise your friends and family to do the same. With rifles especially. Handguns are fine for self defense at close quarters. But they are no substitute for what is needed for what the progs have in mind.

A short, excellent and recommended column by Mirengoff;
UNITE BEHIND JOE BIDEN? YOU MUST BE JOKING.
Posted by: Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki | November 08, 2020 at 11:32 AM
This was released yesterday about 11:45, but clearly drafted in anticipation of the media trying to coerce the election.
Democracy, Reckoning & Renewal
Today, we celebrate the democratic process. New leadership in our nation’s highest office will give the country an opportunity to reflect on our history and create a path forward to a society in which all people in U.S. cities are economically secure, building wealth, and living abundant, dignified, and connected lives. We have had many opportunities before to collectively reckon with our past and imagine a better future, such as the end of the Civil War, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and most recently, the Great Recession of 2008. Yet we have consistently chosen not to do the necessary work to repair past harms. It is our hope that President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris do not miss this opportunity to center racial equity to build a better country.
More immediately, Biden and Harris are inheriting an economic shutdown fueled by the COVID-19 crisis that has hit Black and brown communities especially hard. There are still widening racial gaps that urgently need to be addressed at the local level, and it’s up to local leaders to work to close them. Their first priorities in office should be to center those communities and ensure that their recovery is paramount to our nation’s collective rebuilding. We will hold the Biden administration accountable to their stated commitments on racial equity, and in particular, to Black America.
To do so, we call on the Biden administration to prioritize the following recommendations as they plan for their agenda:
Reckon with the long-term effects of racism on our nation. As we work to close the income and wealth gaps, we must honestly reckon with our history and its implications on the current context. We must support residents and leaders who are willing to put their social capital on the line to learn together about racial equity, the history of race in their own cities and to hold themselves and their organizations accountable to change. Places like Buffalo, Cleveland, and New Orleans have already trained thousands of residents and government employees and are leading the way.
Address long-standing power imbalances. This reckoning will necessarily lead to a conversation about who has historically had power, and who hasn’t. With federal, state and local government decision-making, power must shift to an accountability relationship with the community members who are most affected by the decisions being made. We need to disrupt the behaviors and beliefs of those in leadership who are perpetuating racial gaps, continuing to fail to address history, and undermining our ability to see and approach each other with the fullness of our humanity. So many of the root causes of racial inequity are within the power of government to affect. The Biden administration has the opportunity to reimagine the operations and everyday functions of government to engage communities and earn public trust.
Invest in and empower cities. The COVID-19 crisis has affirmed the importance of strong, nimble and competent local government, especially at the city level. Mayors and other local officials have been on the frontlines, shutting down their cities, coordinating medical supplies, and advocating for their constituents’ needs, in the absence of federal leadership. Additional funding and support should be given to local governments to help them manage their recovery and create more equitable systems.
Change the way capital flows. COVID-19 has cost us millions of jobs, with businesses owned by people of color suffering a disproportionate share of the losses—a result of the racial wealth gap, the legacy of racism in banking, and myriad inequities in entrepreneurial ecosystems. These barriers were in place long before COVID-19, and it remains critical that we undo them. The Biden administration should encourage policies and practices that put people of color in decision-making positions in investment institutions, and challenge definitions of creditworthiness and other norms.
Living Cities is guided by a set of values that keep us grounded in and accountable to the Black and brown communities in which we work. We will stay committed to these values throughout the length of the Biden administration, and push him and those in government to realize their promise of a better, united country. We will work with our members and partners to ensure they live these values as well and join us on our journey.

Posted by: Buckeye | November 08, 2020 at 11:33 AM
Here is the set of values since I have an email with hot links but have been unable to find a good link to this from their Catalyst newsletter.
Founded in 1991, Living Cities is a collaborative of the world’s largest foundations and financial institutions. We foster transformational relationships across sectors to connect those who are willing to do the hard work of closing racial income and wealth gaps.
Together, we are partnering with cross-sector leaders in cities across the country to imagine and create an America in which all people are economically secure, building wealth and living abundant, dignified, and connected lives. Our staff, investments, convenings, and networks support efforts that operationalize racial equity and inclusion in local government, create inclusive narratives, bring communities together to devise and act on a shared vision for the future, and eliminate inequities in systems such as entrepreneurship, homeownership, and access to capital.
The foundations and financial institutions that fund us are critical partners in our efforts to close racial income and wealth gaps. Beyond simply funding together, our board has explored ways to collaborate and move toward alignment on the deep root causes of the issues each of us is trying to address.
Our Mission, Vision and Values
Mission:
Living Cities harnesses the collective power of philanthropy, financial institutions, and local governments to close racial income and wealth gaps in American cities.
Vision:
All people in U.S. cities are economically secure, building wealth, and living abundant, dignified, and connected lives.
Values:
Living Cities’ core values – those we believe are fundamental to the organization’s success in achieving its mission – are collaboration, innovation, leadership, impact, and racial equity and inclusion. These organizational values guide our everyday decisions about how, why and what we do.
We value:
Collaboration: As a partnership of foundations and financial institutions, collaboration is at the core of our work. We believe that respect, diverse perspectives, power sharing, and the open exchange of ideas among varied partners will lead to the structural changes necessary to close racial income and wealth gaps.
Innovation: Changing broken systems and closing racial gaps requires disrupting the status quo and elevating and sustaining successful ideas from communities, while recognizing the value in fresh approaches to old problems. We aim to take risks and test novel solutions in service of economic opportunity for all.
Leadership: We continually ask difficult questions, engage in uncomfortable conversations, challenge obsolete assumptions, and support others to do the same in an effort to close racial gaps – in our institutions and across systems. And we not only strive to lead by example, but also learn from the labor of those who came before us and those who continue to do the work of fostering a more just and equitable country.
Impact: We are committed to the economic security of all people in U.S. cities by undoing racist systems that create disparities for people of color. Through a combination of race-centered approaches and a results focus, we hold ourselves accountable to this commitment and are intentionally self-reflective as we work to continuously improve.
Racial Equity and Inclusion: Racism is at the root of so many of the problems we are trying to solve, so addressing racism must be squarely at the center of how we work. We rely on each other to hold the organization accountable to moving the needle on racial equity and inclusion by living the following cultural norms: work to understand history and the ongoing legacy of racism, interrogate our own biases, extend mutual acknowledgement and respect, challenge damaging power norms, be open to vulnerability and risk.
Lots of money and power behind that vision. Connected closely to all those media companies determined to anoint and install their pick for the Presidency going forward, not that of the American voters themselves.

One more point. I started following Living Cities as part of recognizing the role of what Brookings now calls Metropolitianism in the broader vision education reform and its true goals are tied to. As part of that investigation, in 2012, I was reading a related book published in 1998 which al gore wrote the Foreword to while serving as VP.
It stated explicitly which metropolitan areas were deemed the furthest along in this broad, inclusive, regional vision that I would later come to recognize as the Marxist Humanist vision. (The reason I know it was August 2012 when I stumbled across this element was because I took the book with me while moving one of my children into freshman dorm).
The cities mentioned in order were Portland, Oregon; Minneapolis-St Paul, Minnesota; and Atlanta, Georgia.
Think about where those cities are now in the antifa vision as well as this week's election fraud.

Losing the chain of custody of this thumb drive violates multiple cyber security countermeasures. Thumb drives can be infected with viruses and malware so that when you insert them into a computer causes the computer to become defective.
In the DoD every USB port is configured so that if you insert a thumb drive or connect your smartphone to a USB port a warning goes off and the network sysadmins are alerted. Your account will get locked down while they investigate and even if the thumb drive had no viruses, your name will get added to a shit list that is sent to the chain of command.

Metropolitanism picks up the suburbs and beyond within broader vision. The actual city limits of atlanta are irrelevant. It picks up the 10 county metro area. I actually attended a regional State of the Region affair years ago and ended up sitting next to a well-connected black mover and shaker. The sort others, including kasim reed came up to speak to. He asked me why I was there and I explained where my following the trail of ed reform had led me and what my conclusions were.
He smiled and said: "You are right of course, but it's too late to stop this (I think this was 2013 just about time book came out). Anyway, anyone clever enough to piece all that together will do just fine no matter what kind of economy we now have."
Never have forgotten those words and not because in his mind he was paying me a compliment. This is why I have worked so hard to stay on this trail and piece it all together and now listen in on confirming webinars and online presentations.

It began with the Chicoms intentionally spreading their disease worldwide and the disgusting corrupt progs impeaching trump while their CCP allies were making the world sick, continued with the statists destroying the economy and our civil liberties for no reason other than harming Trump and acquiring power, grew worse with the literally and openly communist violent riots in the streets over a continuum of lies regarding race, history, the cops and America and now they seek to crown their gibbering king of corruption, a man essentially on the payroll of the Chinese communists who have such a large hand in all this mess, with the fruits of the calculated disaster they unleashed on us through by far the most blatant election theft in our history. And to top it off they seek to gaslight us by not only telling us not to believe our lying eyes but to sit down and shut up about it.

One difference Ig - Biden "campaigned" from a recliner. If Trump shows any sign of remaining in politics, he'll be attacked relentlessly for the next four years. (May get that treatment anyway.)
If he survives that to get to 2024, he'll have to run yet another gauntlet to win the presidency again.

As Breitbart always noted politics is downstream from culture.
The most important thing we can do, if we wish to change the culture, is to not sit down and shut up.
Cultures are changed by those who exercise their voices. And cultures are lost by those who allow themselves to be silenced.
So, if we want to change the culture peacefully and have any chance of avoiding a civil war we will have to stop silencing ourselves. That is a form of surrender and it's one they count on.
No more shutting up to keep the peace. No more letting our relatives insult and walk all over us. No more watching, using or listening to people or their products or services that hate us and want us, at best, silenced and, at worst, permanently so.
Thy are bullies and our diffidence is a form of battered wife syndrome.
We are now the Monkey Wrench Gang because Edward Abbey's sick shitbirds used their wrenches to break the old world and create this horrible new one in which we live. If you want to change that before they start building camps, punch a bully in the nose, with your mouth.

From the last post, and JOM fooling itself.
I'll be the first to admit that I fooled myself. For all my cynicism and ranting, I truly did believe in a lot of things happening that never did, and in retrospect clearly were never going to.
I don't want to make that mistake again.

This may be the worst thing I've heard from a prog yet, including Jen Rubin and her cra-cra list;
Bill Maher's Excellent Adventure Into American Unity Will Blow Your Mind
[and what a tool who wrote the article for Redstate.]
Maher is one of the most defamatory, vile creeps on the left. If Biden had lost he would be calling us Nazi's, racists and all the rest as he has all along.
The patronizing little shit pretends to be magnanimous only because his pals are stealing an election. Had Trump crushed Biden, let alone stolen an election from him Maher would be foaming at the mouth and turning bug-eyed purple.
It's just his version of "I've got nothing against black people some of them are my friends" except it is us who he condescends to.
Get bent, butthole.

I truly did believe in a lot of things happening that never did, and in retrospect clearly were never going to.
They were happening, and an honest election would have shown that. We know that Trump increased his share of the vote among blacks, Jews, and Hispanics. We know that he increased his overall vote total substantially. We always knew that he'd have to overcome fraud and manipulation by the Dems and their toadies in the judiciary. If the Dems succeed in installing Joe Dementia, Trump will lead a backlash over the next 4 years, that will make 2010 look like a garden party, hopefully including serious voting reform. It's hard to see him running again at age 77, but he could have a big influence on who does run and win. And it won't be milquetoasts like anyone named Bush or Kasich.

If Trump lawyers can convince the SCOTUS to invalidate the 169K ballots on the thumb drive that was lost then that would almost certainly flip Wisconsin in Trump's favor.

Trump moved the ball in the right direction, Biden can't push it back that much if the GOP takes the House in 2022. It's just a reality that we're going to see a battered dollar, defensive stock market, weak real estate prices, foreign policy blunders, Babylon Bee-style social program proposals, etc. Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito need to eat all their vegetables and get plenty of rest.

Tom R. A few steps in between. Next is the canvass, which reconciles counts to ballots. Then a recount. Either could backup the votes reported by Milwaukee. Especially if physical ballots are in the system (valid or not). A thumb drive ain’t squat. The Supreme Court knows that.
Focus on voting process issues.
1. Failure to purge voting lists under WI law and court orders.
2. County voting officials assisting mail in voting at “get out the vote” events before in person voting was allowed. (Dane & Milwaukee Counties. With Jill Biden, Harris, even Joe Biden at these events).
3. Clerks in Dane and Milwaukee encouraging people to classify as “indefinitely confined” and subvert voter ID.
4. The selective “curing” of vote by mail ballots based on voting “D”
That list needs to be fixed. Thumb drives are a distraction.

Some of you might remember I stopped going to my church when our interim pastor sobbed as he admitted his 'white privilege' and he invited speakers from BLM sympathizers.
I've been watching different churches online at fb and youtube. This morning I watched the pastor at the FBC at a Wednesday night prayer meeting. One of the first things he said was I don't want to stand up here and preach politics, but I'm going to -- I'm afraid other pastors won't; and, why they won't is because they are cowards. He talked about their fear has helped cause political correctness in our culture.
However, the best part of the Wednesday night prayer meeting was an activity he had members participate in. He passed out cards with a topic word and asked small groups of four to five to get together and work out one word that described the topic. Explaining it, he told them here's one card with 2020 on it. Held it up and laughed as chuckles and groans went through the crowd. There were topics like covid, single, election, etc.
The one word answers to a few:
2020 - crucible
covid - fud (they made up a word, fear, uncertainty death - he chuckled, said you only get one word, but allowed it, they've had quite a few members die from covid)
alone - unexpected
coffee - versatile (he grinned and said, I thought you'd say essential)
single - someone immediately answered lonely and a woman's voice rang out and said freedom (the whole group laughed.
friend - confidant (he used a big French accent, said he loved the word)
He went to single again: lonely. Pain of being alone. Single: solitude. The glory of being alone. Time to strengthen.
He segued into only 30% of millenialls believe marriage is important. He spent quite a bit of time on how important marriage is to our culture and what can be done to enlighten the young.
Also, earlier he had announced there was a 15-year-old suicide here last week and asked everyone to pray for the law enforcement people who have to deal with this. A small town five miles away where my sister lives had a teen suicide last week. He prayed for both families, naturally.
He prayed that our Lord pushes back the darkness and strengthens us during this time. Of course his prayer was beautiful and longer, but this little prayer service made me feel so calm, peaceful, and (hopefully) strong again.

A thread at TDW is questioning why Trump had a press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping to which another poster asks, "Why did Lewendowski say Four Seasons Landscaping are heroes?"

Paranoia alert:
Over the last few months I've had an issue posting TWIP to my homies. After chasing inbound/outbound spam filters from our email provider, my only resolution was to copy Hoyden's post on JOM, as is, with the text overlay and maybe a picture. Those go out OK.
Now for the last few weeks, Mrs MT has been blocked from sending Clarice's Pieces (her first thing to do Sunday mornings). I can send them, but 'not my job!'
So for the last couple Sundays, I've tried many different options/pathways.
> different email accounts including POP3 vs IMAP
> Platforms - all prior activity on iPhones, but tried different mail app on Mac.
> I can sent Clarice's out to all homies, but Mrs MT can't reply all, unless the initial link is removed.
> We've done every possible variation of hard reboots, test emails, C&P vs browser assisted formatting, adding text, pix, etc.
So, here is the absurd, but paranoid conclusion:
Some conservative websites have a network filter that blocks their links for being passed around via email, but perhaps randomly invoked for specific senders. (??)
Keep in mind this is separate from my normal dozen or so outbound links/day and quotes from here. Mrs MT less so, but no other problems.
Anyone else had this problem?

Happy Birthday, Captain!!!🎂
One thing we know about President Trump — he doesn't do things by half measures. Given the results we've seen so far, he walloped Biden. Apart from the blue hell states, the democrats performed poorly. All that aside, the media's haste to declare demented Joe the winner in the face of the information that has come out about the all important count is not just naive, it's criminal.
This has to be pursued fully. I believe Justice Alito recognizes this. It must scare the depends off Biden.
Posted by: Barbara | November 08, 2020 at 01:10 PM
Speaking of not silencing oneself- son sent email to UMass chancellor correcting him on his email congratulating Biden on his win. He’s not expecting a reply - except to tell him he’s on double-secret probation.

https://notrickszone.com/2020/11/08/baffling-choice-for-press-conference-location-is-trump-team-miles-ahead-on-2020-voter-fraud/
This link as well as the embedded tweets are must reads IMO.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping is in an industrial zone of Philly next to a porn shop and crematorium. When I started watching Rudy's press conference I thought to myself WTF why are they holding the press conference here? Numerous Fake News organizations were ridiculing the Trump campaign for choosing Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
If, and this is a big IF, Team Trump selected the Four Seasons Total Landscaping location for the reasons being speculated then it was a massive mindfuck on their part. It's stuff like this that gives me confidence that Team Trump has everything under control.
Cliff notes version for anyone who doesn't want to go to the links. Four Seasons Total Landscaping has donated to multiple Democrat politicians. The Twitter Sleuth who started the discussion speculates the Democrats used Four Seasons Total Landscaping as a money laundering operation.
Why else would the Trump campaign pick that location except to send a signal to the Democrats that they are one step ahead of them and that the hammer is about to drop?

Manuel Transmission:
I don't send out many links by email, so I have nothing to report on that front. I have noticed that lately I frequently get an "Oh snap, something went wrong," when I click on American Thinker links from here though. When I refresh the page, the article appears, so there's nothing wrong with the linked URL. I've been getting that kind of two-step on Twitter as well. The funny thing about Twitter is that you can click their "Try Again" button till kingdom come without success, when the refresh button will work first time around.
"Some conservative websites have a network filter that blocks their links for being passed around via email."
I've never heard of that before. Why would a site do that?
In any case, I do get the distinct feeling that there's a lot of experimenting with ways to control traffic going on, and I hope someone who knows more than I do on our side is working on tracing such efforts and developing preventatives.
Posted by: JM Hanes | November 08, 2020 at 01:27 PM
So, my advice? Arm yourselves and advise your friends and family to do the same.
Agreed, but I also think the best move is to get out of blue areas if you can. It'd be much easier to defend a place like South Dakota than little Republican towns in blue states, especially after the leaders there get down on their knees like some are already doing.
