Hard to prove election fraud in a court when no court will allow evidence to be presented.

But thanks for keeping up, Marsh; I'd just about given up hope.

Classic case of "waving the bloody shirt." The true facts of Sicknick's death has been suppressed.


Dobbin

I believe Officer Sicknick died of natural causes - a brain aneurism. His family asked that his death not be politicized after a persistent rumor circulated that the mob had hit him in the head with a fire extinguisher. (Not the case.) I read he was a Trump supporter.

May he RIP.

Looks like a documentary paid for/produced by Mike Lindell will be released soon with Dr. Shiva, Jovan Pulitzer and other experts on the election fraud.

I know Jovan has gone underground until March 1 due to death threats and the need for a team of body guards.

It is all so clear now. What we are dealing with is a multigenerational Marxist Insurgency, a conspiracy so deep that it involves nearly our entire political, economic, military, media and educational systems. Further, they have gotten aid and comfort from our enemies, China especially. And they are now implementing classic Marxist modus operandi, just like they did in both Russia in 1917 and China in 1949, and Cuba in 1959, and a large number of other countries.

Phase One is demoralization of the native populace, and in this case it is the white "racists," Using literally DECADES of cultural indoctrination and sowing self loathing of the predominant european culture and population, they moved on to phase two.

Phase Two is Destabilize which was from the riots and the social anarchy they unleashed all of 2020. Steal the Election was part of this effort.

Phase Three is Crisis, which is where they are moving to now, with the January 6 Deep State/Marxist psyops. Crisis also may involve either, or both, Civil War and/or Military invasion. We are also in that phase with Trump's impeachment, which was also classic demoralize and destabilize tactics. However, despite biden's 42 Executive Orders, they can't move decisively until they deal with Trump and his 80 million ARMED SUPPORTERS.

Phase 4 is normalization, which is the direct imposition of the Marxist leadership, many of which will murder all the ones who actually secured power. Once in, they will be killed off as fast as needed to make way for the real powers, the ones behind Biden and harris and all these antifa and piglosi types.

We are now in phase three, with armed conflict, again either civil war or military invasion, likely to break out, which is why they are giving China access to our power grid, and demonizing Trumpsters as domestic terrorists.

The only "wild card," or in Asminov's Foundation Trilogy Series is The Mule, or chaos impacting the situation in unknown ways. For example, this will be the only Marxist Tyranny being imposed on an armed populace. They are dealing with that with this bill in the House, but we shall see.

Lock and Load. Read this essay if you don't believe me.

Spiritual Prayer is also something they haven't planned on or even know how to deal with.



Four Stages of Marxist Takeover: The Accuracy of Yuri Bezmenov
The journalist and Soviet defector long ago pegged the current left-wing moment.

It’s important to understand that this is a revolutionary moment in American history, and it isn’t a bad idea to act in ways that would fall under the traditional description of “accordingly.”
But it’s also important to understand that the revolution taking place in America is not yet a “kinetic” one. That may come soon, or it may not. The battle taking place presently is a war of information — or disinformation, as the case may be.
And the revolution is a Marxist revolution. You should make no mistake about that. The groups fomenting it, the intellectuals promoting it, and the money financing it are all quite open about who they are.

In any other time in American history a presidential candidate would have dumped Duckworth as a potential VP the minute she came out against George Washington.

Click to expand...

The object of this information revolution? To begin with, defeating Donald Trump and installing Joe Biden as the Hard Left’s puppet president. Biden is, for now, palatable to the American people in ways that actual communist Bernie Sanders, spawn of a communist Pete Buttigieg, Sandinista sympathizer Bill de Blasio, and other far-left revolutionary (remember: Sanders has spent years traipsing around the country calling for a revolution) figures were not. But despite his lack of bona fides, Biden offers something quite beneficial to the Left — he is wholly incapable of executing the duties of president of the United States owing to a clear deficiency of mental function that shows itself every time he makes a public appearance. Couple that with Biden and his handlers being so utterly devoid of principle and scruples that he and they are willing to serve as an empty vessel into which might be poured whatever horrors the Left is willing to use him to bring on.

Joe Biden isn’t Vladimir Lenin. Biden is Alexander Kerensky, the Russian politician who served as the vessel for the revolutionaries to overthrow the old guard in 1917 and then, once he had proven himself useful toward that end, was shuffled aside so the real power could assume control. And as in Kerensky’s case, what comes after will bring the end of all that we know.

They’re not even trying to hide this anymore. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrice Cullors repeatedly says “We are trained Marxists.” Antifa’s imagery, dogma, public statements — all straight from the Marxist playbook. The bleatings of the Democrat Socialist crowd, including AOC, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and the rest — unabashedly Marxist. What do you think every one of these “community organizing” outfits catching oversized checks from the Soroses of the world are teaching to their new recruits? Where do you think critical race theory, repressive tolerance, and intersectionalism, the tools of the cultural revolutionaries setting fire to all our traditions and institutions, came from? They came from the Frankfurt School, all of whom were Marxists.

This playbook was written long ago. If you think that Bernie Sanders or Kshama Sawant or Alicia Garza are smart enough to dream up a plan for taking down the greatest society the world has ever known, you are out of touch with reality. The only way they could have been as effective as they have so far is to follow somebody else’s plan. Which they are doing.

The reason you believe a Marxist revolution on these shores is far-fetched is that your faith in America’s institutions makes you believe the loss of your freedom and prosperity are impossible.
That confidence isn’t a flaw in your character. To the contrary, it’s a sign of your patriotism. But this moment makes that confidence unwarranted, if not obsolete.

Joe Biden is telling you that if he wins in November he will “transform” America. He’s telling you that he will institute massive, crushing tax increases. He’s talking about getting the Post Office into the banking business (not just putting the Post Office in charge of ballot security, banking as well), while his fellow Democrats are talking about creating a cashless society — the combination of which will effectively eliminate private finance and the cash economy, meaning no escape from the tender mercies of the IRS and government regulators who will then be able to audit and analyze all of your financial transactions.
Now is where you should be thinking about China’s new social credit scoring system, elements of which are already creeping into our society, and how that might merge with government banking and the elimination of cash.

The frightening promises Biden is making to the Hard Left in this country while he vets anti-American loons like Tammy Duckworth — who openly discusses the defenestration of George Washington and calls Abraham Lincoln and Jackie Robinson “dead traitors” because Trump praised them at Mount Rushmore, then pretends to be insulted when people rightly call that the offensive idiocy that it is — as his vice presidential choices, show that he is the Left’s puppet. Biden jumped in to defend Duckworth after her insane ranting, in case you missed it; in any other time in American history a presidential candidate would have dumped her as a potential VP the minute she came out against George Washington.

You shouldn’t believe the polls that show Biden with such huge leads. But the reason those polls are delivering the numbers they do should make you concerned.
Those polls are trash, because Trump voters are “shy voters.” If you’re voting for Trump, are you really going to tell a stranger over the phone whom you’re voting for? Doing so might put you on a list, get you doxxed, get you fired from your job, beat up, or worse.

Why do you as a Trump voter worry about that? You, and everyone else in America, are being demoralized.

There is a video interview from a long time ago that you should see if you haven’t already seen it. It’s one of those things that many of our readers may have seen years ago and then forgot about — but all of a sudden it’s incredibly relevant again. The interview dates back to 1984, and it was conducted by the author, filmmaker, and John Birch Society gadfly G. Edward Griffin with a Soviet defector and former KGB operative named Yuri Bezmenov.
Forget about Griffin’s background. He was something of an Alex Jones of his time, and he’s still around in his dotage, obsessing about things that cost him his relevance. It’s Bezmenov who matters. The Russian was involved at relatively high levels as a propagandist par excellence before leaving the USSR for Canada, and he laid out in excruciating detail the process by which a free society might be brought to collapse.

Bezmenov didn’t dream that up. It wasn’t even a secret. Nikita Khrushchev, who ran the Soviet Union from 1958 to 1964, was quite open in predicting the destruction of the United States and furthermore said it would happen in the way that every society eventually collapses — internally.

“We will take America without firing a shot,” Khrushchev said. “We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within.”
Khrushchev and the Soviets weren’t just bragging. What he was talking about was an entire system of Marxist indoctrination and takeover they had perfected and executed in country after country during the 20th century. Eastern Europe. North Korea. North Vietnam, then all of Vietnam. Cuba. Nicaragua. Later, Venezuela. Various African countries, including South Africa, the communist bloom of which has only recently come to pass. Some of those countries went communist because the Soviets rolled the tanks in; most went communist because the pre-communist society collapsed for various reasons. All went communist after they had been infiltrated with Marxist revolutionaries.

The point being that there was a template in place for how to penetrate a society with Marxist ideals and implode it so that the revolutionaries would control the ruins. Bezmenov, whose father was a high-ranking Soviet military official and who was trained to be an elite KGB overseas operative, was taught the template and put to work in India attempting to infiltrate that country and bring it into the Warsaw Pact. He also worked at the Soviet RIA Novosti news organization, editing and planting propaganda materials into foreign media. The man knew exactly what he was talking about when he outlined how a Marxist revolution might be America down without firing a shot, just as Khrushchev had predicted.

Of course, the Soviet Union didn’t take America down. We won the Cold War and they lost. The USSR collapsed before we did, mostly because America had a leader in Ronald Reagan who had the vision and will to pressure the Soviets into collapse and openly talked of a day when Soviet communism was on the ash-heap of history.

But Reagan also warned that freedom is a fragile thing, and that it’s never more than one generation from extinction. That warning expired when Reagan did, as Americans grew far too complacent after the USSR fell apart and forgot what communism means. And as the cold warriors of the 20th century passed into the history books, what replaced them was an American cultural and political elite either ignorant of the Marxist threat and how it might materialize, or far more concerned with the rise of Islam.

That’s how you got a red diaper baby like Barack Obama elected president of this country for two terms. It’s also how you got Republican state legislators, governors, and congressmen fully invested in throwing money into education, and particularly higher education, without a second of thought as to what they were funding. The teachers’ unions were the largest donors to Bernie Sanders. What do you think that tells you? Why are you surprised the schools are turning out students who think Washington and Jefferson were villains?

Back to Bezmenov, who warned us in 1984 that a free society collapses in four stages, and the first is demoralization. What he meant by demoralization is a process by which students in schools controlled by disciples of leftist thought would be indoctrinated into a set of values and beliefs foreign to those of the American tradition. Bezmenov said, in 1984, mind you, that this would happen when the 1960s and 1970s student radicals began to control the educational institutions, and their project would be to throw out traditional Judeo-Christian morality, classical education, and American patriotism. Is there any doubt this has happened? Our young people are the least patriotic in our nation’s history, and the most ignorant of the cultural, intellectual, and ideological patrimony of which they are heirs.
It’s even worse than that, because the cultural Marxist project not just in our schools but in our media and entertainment institutions has poisoned those against the country. Remember when the NFL was an escape from politics? Remember when the movies Hollywood made extolled American values and made viewers feel good about their country?

Why Has Wisconsin Done Nothing With the 200,000 Ballots Its Supreme Court Claimed Were Likely Invalid In the 2020 Election?

By Joe Hoft
Published February 2, 2021 at 2:20pm



There were numerous corrupt activities that took place in Wisconsin in the 2020 election, many which were never addressed. But the Wisconsin Supreme Court did rule on 200,000 ballots which were invalid but no one in the state has ever addressed these ballots to determine the accurate final count in the state. Why?

We will never have a free and fair election again if we don’t stand up and demand truth and integrity in our elections. This starts with the 2020 election, not elections into the future. How do you know what to fix when you don’t know what was broken and how badly it was broken?

Wisconsin was the target of corrupt attorneys and politicians who knew they needed to steal the state in order to win the election for low energy and senile Joe Biden. So they conjured up activities like adding ballot drop boxes around the state. These boxes were illegitimate because they never were approved through the Wisconsin legislature but that didn’t stop the state from using them.

This issue has never been properly settled


There were many problems with drop boxes. Proper chain of custody and dual controls to prevent fraud were missing. Who was picking up the ballots at these boxes? Were they keeping lists of the ballots picked up and were there members of both parties present to prevent fraud from occurring. Ultimately the entire drop box mess was a disaster because it wasn’t constitutional in the first place.

Another major issue revolved around ‘indefinitely confined’ individuals. This classification of voter was intended for those who were unable to easily vote due to serious conditions preventing them (e.g. individuals with serious handicaps). \

For these individuals the requirement of a valid photo identification is waived.
The Supreme Court in Wisconsin ruled that COVID was not a condition that would entitle someone to the indefinitely confined status. They stated that not all voters with this status could be thrown out but that the state had to determine on a one by one basis of the over 200,000 voters with this status, who was actually indefinitely confined and who was not.


Unfortunately, nothing has been done to date to review and validate these voters.

Ultimately the fault of having done nothing to address these cases lands with the legislature who oversees elections in the state. But much of their work is given to the Wisconsin Election Commission. If you look at the Election Commission website there is nothing noted related to these ballots or any status of review. Nothing.

The questions all of America and all of Wisconsin should be asking is why not?

Why are those elected officials and others in the position to address this fraud not doing anything? The people of Wisconsin and America want to know what is the final accurate vote count in the state. But for some reason those in power have moved on, not Americans, just those in power.

The next logical question to be answered is why has nothing been done and why is the Wisconsin Election Commission still in existence with all the fraud in the state that it allowed to be embedded in the state’s certified results?

The politicians and people in power don’t yet fully appreciate it yet but the majority of Americans, those who voted for President Trump, want to get to the bottom of what happened in 2020, what was the true and accurate result and then what can be done to ensure free and fair elections are in place for the future.

Americans in no way support cheaters and liars and coverups. Americans want action. The politicians and the Wisconsin Election Commission are failing their people and all of America in not addressing the correct status of cases brought before their Supreme Court.

[COMMENT: After the decision, there was a group that looked at the "indefinitely confined" voter rolls to try and spot those who had claimed the status unlawfully. The issue that came after that, was that the identity of the voter is separated from the ballot in the processing to ensure privacy. There is no way to pull those ballots from the count and no court or government board would accept the assertion that they were all Biden votes without proof. The legislature could accept that the magnitude of unlawful votes was sufficient to affect the outcome and void the election results all together, but that also voids lawfully cast votes. The state legislature was unable to get leaders to call the legislature into special session to void the electors allocated by the Governor before they were sent to Congress.]

Arizona Senate Needs to Perform a Comprehensive Review of 2020 Election Ballots of Maricopa Country — Here’s a List of State Senators to Contact!

By Joe Hoft
Published February 2, 2021 at 8:25am

The people of Arizona have spoken and have made it clear that they want a thorough review of the results of the 2020 election in their state and in particular Maricopa County.

Has the Arizona Senate really heard their call?

** Please encourage the Senators in Arizona to ensure all the ballots in Maricopa County are forensically reviewed to determine their validity. This really must be done. Here is a list of Arizona Senators to contact.

Big Media won’t report it. Big Tech will censor you if you report it. The DOJ won’t prosecute it, in part because the FBI won’t investigate it, but ELECTION FRAUD WAS RAMPANT ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN THE 2020 ELECTION.

Americans are livid and want to get to the bottom of it. They want to know the truth about the results from the 2020 election but the politicians won’t give it to them.

In Arizona for months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have complained about calls for a forensic review of the ballots in that large and important county. The Board members claim everything was fine but they won’t allow anyone to get close to their results. They spent weeks after the election messing with ballots before they formally came to a conclusion on the election results.

Finally, the Board of Supervisors relented, after suing the Senate in an effort to prevent a competent audit, and said that there could be an audit if performed by auditors of THEIR choice. They claimed the two firms they selected were EAC certified but they weren’t. These same firms are the firms that certified the controversial Dominion voting systems around the country before and after the election.


Last week the Senate reported – ENOUGH. They would select auditors to perform the audit of the county themselves. They have a right to do it and they will. The AP Reported:

The Republican leader of the Arizona Senate announced Friday that she has hired an independent auditor to scour election results in Maricopa County, where supervisors voted earlier in the week to hire two firms to audit election equipment and software used in last November’s election.

Click to expand...

The move comes after the county refused to allow the Senate access to election equipment, copies of ballots and other materials under a subpoena issued by lawmakers, some of whom continue to question whether Democratic President Joe Biden won.

Senate President Karen Fann said in a statement that the auditor will be tasked with doing an audit much larger in scope than the county intends.

“We must bring back confidence that the election results reported are how votes were legally cast,” Fann said. “The Senate’s forensic audit will bring accuracy and detail to the process, and with that restore integrity to the election process.”

The county said supervisors respect the Senate’s right to hire its own auditors to review material the county has already provided. Still, the county plans to move ahead with the hiring of the two firms to audit election equipment and software. The firms are the only ones in the nation certified to examine the equipment.

“If the source code from our tabulation equipment is exposed and posted online, that could jeopardize the integrity of voting systems across the country,” the county said in a statement issued by spokesman Fields Moseley. “Therefore, the county prefers to use these companies.”

Click to expand...

Of course, the Maricopa Board’s response is the opposite of the truth. The source code for election voting machines should be open source, not hidden. Individuals should be able to review and identify openings that should be fixed. By withholding this information from the public the voting machine companies indicate that they are hiding something.

We don’t know the firm or firms selected to perform the audits in the county by the Senate. One firm thought to be considered is a firm related to Colonel Phil Waldron who presented a couple of months ago on the voting systems being used in the state. His team no doubt can do an excellent job on the workings of the machines and determine if they do comply with standards set in the industry.

His forensic audit will no doubt far surpass the audit work by the two firms who were said to be certified by the Board of Supervisors.

But this still will leave open the question of how many total ballots were fraudulent as a result of the identified failings in the systems. Here is where the work of inventor Jovan Pulitzer would be best provided. Pulitzer has a process and the patents surrounding the process where he can identify fraudulent ballots based on the paper used, creases in the paper, the ink on the forms and other characteristics. Pulitzer can identify fraudulent votes which then will ultimately result in the accurate results of the 2020 election when these votes are accounted for.

Pulitzer explained his process in Georgia previously:

Experts of the data in Maricopa county estimate that more than 100,000 fraudulent ballots may have been counted in the county in this election (of course nearly all are suspected of going to Joe Biden):


** Please encourage the Senators in Arizona to ensure all the ballots in Maricopa County are forensically reviewed to determine their validity. This really must be done. Here is a list of Arizona Senators to contact.

These Senators need to know the American people want a full and fair audit of results from 2020 to ensure fair and free elections into the future.

The Arizona Senate is doing more than any other states currently to address the people’s number one concern – what are the true results of the 2020 election. Please encourage them to ensure all the ballots are reviewed in Maricopa County through a legitimate, comprehensive and accurate forensic audit.

Mitt Romney Niece, RNC Chair and Traitor, Ronna McDaniel Regrets Allowing Giuliani Make Claims About Voter Fraud

By Patty McMurray
Published February 2, 2021 at 9:00am

100 Percent Fed Up – On the eve of the 2016 election, MI GOP Chair Ronna Romney-McDaniel had an important phone call to make before making her way to Trump’s final campaign rally of the season in Grand Rapids, MI. It wasn’t a call to a member of the Trump campaign or even a major donor, it was a call to MI grassroots leader, Marian Sheridan, of the MI Trump Republicans. McDaniel’s call was urgent—she needed Marian Sheridan to find as many volunteers as possible to watch votes being processed at the TCF Center on election day. The truth is, the leader of the MI GOP had dropped the ball and didn’t have a single Republican poll challenger scheduled to work on election day, in Wayne County, a Democrat stronghold, and largest ballot-counting facility in Michigan. Marian Sheridan, who worked harder than any other Republican in Michigan to help secure votes for Donald Trump was also on her way to Trump’s final rally, but she had to cancel her plans, so she could stay back and do the work McDaniel should have done months ago.


Marian Sheridan – MI Trump Republicans, and MI Conservative Coalition
Trump ultimately won the state of Michigan, and although the women and men at the Michigan Conservative Coalition did more than anyone else in the state of Michigan to secure his win, Ronna Romney-McDaniel was rewarded with a role as the RNC Chair.

Fast forward four years later to November 6, McDaniels stood in front of the media and bravely proclaimed to the media that the Republican Party would fight to make sure that the elections were free and fair, telling them, “Every candidate in every office from President down to the local level has the legal right to challenge irregularities that occur in the process of canvassing ballots.”

She added, “We intend to ensure that every lawful voter has their vote counted in accordance with the law, that observers are granted the access they are due under state law, and that any irregularities that occurred whether by malicious intent or incompetence, are fully investigated to the fullest extent allowed under the law.”

Romney-McDaniels told them, “We will not give up on this process until every last issue has been resolved.”

She cited a number of shocking incidents reported to them by poll watchers, including threatening and intimidating behavior by election workers.

Now that Joe Biden has been inaugurated, the RNC Chair who was given a second term by President Trump is suddenly expressing regret for her decision to stand up for the millions of Americans who believe massive voter fraud took place in the November 2020 election.

The Hill reports – in a new interview that she regrets letting former President Trump’s lawyers, namely Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, spread unproven claims about the 2020 election from the organization’s headquarters.

Speaking with The New York Times, McDaniel indicated she thought it had been a mistake to allow Giuliani and Powell to make the claims about election rigging days after the vote at the RNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“When I saw some of the things Sidney was saying, without proof, I certainly was concerned it was happening in my building,” McDaniel told the newspaper.

“There are a whole host of issues we had to deal with — what is the liability of the RNC if these allegations are made and unfounded?”

Data Expert Claims His Team Has Identified Enough Fraudulent Ballots in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin to Overthrow the Election

Matt Braynard was on with Steve Bannon and the War Room crew today and he discussed the 2020 election results that he and his team uncovered after the election.

Matt Braynard from the data integrity project have identified a number of fraudulent votes included in the 2020 election which when addressed he claims would overturn the results of the election in three states (Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin) and be enough to overturn the 2020 election.

Braynard and his team have been going at this since the election and they have uncovered thousands of invalid ballots included in this election:


Tonight on the War Room Braynard reported that:

Among these three states, the number of illegal ballots surpassed the margin of victory. Georgia, Wisconsin and Arizona – without those three Joe Biden isn’t President.

Of course Joe Biden didn’t win the 2020 election based on valid votes. The guy could hardly talk at times while President Trump had the most valid votes by a Republican and a sitting President and and any candidate before him and most likely more valid votes than Biden as well.

FINALLY AN HONEST REPORTER: Rob Schmitt Is First News Host to Honestly Lay Out the Abnormalities, Fraud and Illegal Rule Changes in the 2020 Election

By Jim Hoft
Published February 3, 2021 at 7:30am

Newsmax host Rob Schmitt opened his show on Tuesday discussing the upcoming impeachment of private citizen Donald Trump. Schmitt also took time to mention the many irregularities, rule changes and fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Schmitt may be the only honest reporter left in America today.

Rob Schmitt: Well, just a quick flashback to reality. That day the president spoke at a rally designed to urge Republicans to stand up and not certify the election. Trump and others wanted an investigation into multiple allegations of fraud. They wouldn’t get it. The president cited a number of election abnormalities that to this day remain astonishing such as his own tremendous success in the bellwether counties while also not winning. And the simple fact that Joe Biden, a worn-out old man who barely campaigned, got more than 80 million votes, astonishing to this day. Those stats defy all logic. The president also took aim at those state officials who illegally changed election rules without consent from legislatures to give an edge to Democrats by allowing tainted or late ballots to be counted. It’s an obviously fair point. And an obvious example of election meddling that benefitted Democrats. The Zuckerberg ballot drop off boxes are another example of giving Democrats an unfair advantage. And to be fair the president also made some other egregious unproven claims that got his legal team in trouble.

Arizona’s Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Rejects Arizona Senate Subpoena Demands – Now Face Contempt Charges

By Joe Hoft
Published February 3, 2021 at 7:10am

Arizona’s Maricopa County Board of Supervisors decided to reject the Arizona Senata’s subpoena to provide a date for turning over machines and documents for a Senate audit of the county’s results. The Senate is drafting a resolution now regarding contempt charges.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has again rebuked the Arizona Senate and the people of Arizona by refusing to provide a date for when they will turn over ballots and machines for the Senate to audit:

The Arizona Mirror reports:

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors did not comply with the Arizona Senate’s request to set a date for turning over materials that Republican lawmakers subpoenaed for a proposed audit of the 2020 general election.

And that could land them in jail for contempt, if one of the Senate Republicans who issued the subpoenas has his way.

The Senate had given the county supervisors a deadline of noon Tuesday to say when they would comply with the disputed subpoenas, which Maricopa County has challenged in court and says are outside the purview of the Senate’s legal authority. After conferring with legal counsel on Tuesday morning, the supervisors again refused the Senate’s demand for ballot tabulation machines, software, data and more than 2 million paper ballots.

After Weeks of Delays the Detroit TCF Center Turns Over Security Camera Footage of 3:30 AM Biden Ballot Dump to Gateway Pundit

By Jim Hoft
Published February 3, 2021 at 7:45am


The American media today would make Pravda blush.

The media keeps telling us there was absolutely no fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The Democrat establishment demands Republicans move on and accept Joe Biden’s improbable win and the unlikely results.

But we also know that President Trump was leading Joe Biden in Michigan alone by over 100,000 votes on election night when suddenly Biden received 150,000 votes in less than one minute at 6:31 in the morning.


In Wayne County, the election night counting of absentees took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall. This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP, and where hundreds of affidavits claim they witnessed voter fraud.

And until now, no one has bothered to review the video footage.

The video can settle for once and for all:

• How many people were in the TCF Center and is there any validity to the excuse that they were past “COVID capacity” – the excuse they used to exclude the Republicans from watching vote processing
• Why did so many Democrat poll workers bring in suitcases? Did they hide illegal ballots in them like their colleagues in Georgia?
• Were the machines networked? Can we see the modem and the wires networking the tabulating machines as described by Patrick Colbeck?
• Who brought in what at 3:30/4:00am, were they ballots as the Republicans have said they witnessed, or was it food/camera equipment as the media claimed? Shane Trejo and Jose Aliaga say it was ballots.
• Was there any security keeping people out of the building who did not have credentials to get in?
• Were there other unexplained ballot dumps past the 8:00PM deadline for ballots as several other witnesses have alleged?
• Was Nick, the co-owner of Dominion Voting Services, present on site, as Mellissa Carone has said?
• Were GOP Poll Challengers being ejected for making good-faith challenges or were they refusing to wear a mask?

Your Gateway Pundit has requested the TCF video back in December!

The TCF Center tried to quote us over $22,000 for one day’s worth of video.
We requested two hours of video.

This week we were sent the requested video.

We have waited for two months for the requested video.

And for the record — The Michigan Legislature also recently subpoenaed the video, but there is no word on whether they will make the materials they gather public, or how aggressively they will pursue the anticipated failure to comply by one of the most corrupt cities in America.

This evidence has the potential to blow-up the results in Michigan.
So why did they slow-walk this information?

There has been a substantial period of time to cover their tracks, but since written affidavits make no impact on the media, witness video statements make little to no impact, perhaps the physical video evidence can corroborate the many witnesses and further establish the systemic voter fraud that took place in Detroit.

We will update our audience with our findings as soon as the video is reviewed.

Arizona’s vote count continues to be under scrutiny. Fearless and tireless GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward has kept the pressure on for getting a full audit of the Arizona ballots and machines. She now has considerable support in the Arizona Senate.


For over a month there have been charges of machine malfunctions or outright fraud in public hearings held on November 30. The current standoff is between the Senate and the Maricopa Board of Supervisors (four out of five of which are Republicans). First, the Board rejected calls for an audit. Arizona’s senators then reminded them they did not have the authority to make that call. When the Board continued its obstructionism, and the Senate issued a subpoena for the voting machines. According to GOP majority whip Sonny Borrelli, the Board continued to drag its feet until forced into court. On January 13, the judge, Timothy Thomason—as has been common across the country—did not want to rule in a political case. On January 13, he refused to order the County to hand over the election data as per a legislative subpoena but instead wanted the parties to “sit down and work this out.” He said he’d give both sides a week to reach a deal before again taking up the Senate’s request to enforce the subpoenas. Included in the subpoenas are both hand count audits and machine audits.



According to Borrelli, the Board wanted to use ProV&V, an Election Assistance Commission (EAC) approved firm to handle the audit. (The EAC claims it does not certify any firms). But ProV&V only confirms that the machines work, not that they are syncing up to the paper ballots. Senators claim they do not include a lengthy forensic assessment of changed votes as is needed. According to some, ProV&V is not qualified for the deep analysis required. Instead, the Senate wanted to name its own outside firm, including but not limited to Digital Discover, Allied Security Operations, Sullivan and Strickler, or Cyberninjas. It is not known at present what the as-yet-unnamed firm’s services would cost, and certainly, Democrats and the Board would balk at spending anything above the minimum.

Borrelli was convinced the audit would proceed with one of the firms the Senate chose. Once started, the audit will take about ten days and include paper ballots, machines, and tabulation systems for Maricopa County. This would leave unchallenged, so far, the claim that the machines added 35,000 votes to Joe Biden at the outset in Pima County. “Right now,” said Borrelli, “we’re just concerned with Maricopa County. Currently, Joe Biden’s margin of victory in all of Arizona was roughly 10,500 votes. Maricopa is by far the largest county in the state, with 4.4 million people. Theoretically, it contains far more than the number needed for Donald Trump to erase Biden’s supposed victory margin.

In its stall campaign, the Board of Supervisors has suggested that there were intergovernmental “separation of powers” issues that prohibited them from handing over the machines for inspection. Yet to date, no one has yet specified exactly what infringements would occur. Arizona’s Attorney General rendered a decision in December that the Board had to comply with the legislature’s subpoenas.

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors

Borrelli was adamant that the Senate would not be deterred, and that if an arrangement weren’t reached, the Senate would vote to enforce the subpoenas and, if there still wasn’t compliance, to charge the Board members with contempt. Under such a threat, or out of deference to Thomason, the Board moved from rejecting all calls for an audit to agreeing to a selective audit, to agreeing to a full audit and only by EAC. The Senate seems unlikely to accept this offer and the possibility of concurrent audits by different groups looms. One wonders what the reaction would be if both audits found that, in fact, machines were flawed and/or programmed to add votes to Joe Biden and subtract them from Donald Trump? Or, conversely, if both audits revealed that Joe Biden actually won Arizona?

Bonus episode: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency

Last month, Axios published "Off the rails," a series taking you inside the end of Donald Trump's presidency, from his election loss to the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection that triggered his second impeachment — and a Senate trial set to begin next week.

In this bonus edition, we take you back into those final weeks — to one long, unhinged night a week before Christmas, when an epic, profanity-soaked standoff played out with profound implications for the nation.

Four conspiracy theorists marched into the Oval Office. It was early evening on Friday, Dec. 18 — more than a month after the election had been declared for Joe Biden, and four days after the Electoral College met in every state to make it official.

"How the hell did Sidney get in the building?" White House senior adviser Eric Herschmann grumbled from the outer Oval Office as Sidney Powell and her entourage strutted by to visit the president.

President Trump's private schedule hadn't included appointments for Powell or the others: former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, and a little-known former Trump administration official, Emily Newman. But they'd come to convince Trump that he had the power to take extreme measures to keep fighting.

As Powell and the others entered the Oval Office that evening, Herschmann — a wealthy business executive and former partner at Kasowitz Benson & Torres who'd been pulled out of quasi-retirement to advise Trump — quietly slipped in behind them.

The hours to come would pit the insurgent conspiracists against a handful of White House lawyers and advisers determined to keep the president from giving in to temptation to invoke emergency national security powers, seize voting machines and disable the primary levers of American democracy.

Herschmann took a seat in a yellow chair close to the doorway. Powell, Flynn, Newman and Byrne sat in a row before the Resolute Desk, facing the president.

For weeks now, ever since Rudy Giuliani had commandeered Trump’s floundering campaign to overturn the election, outsiders had been coming out of the woodwork to feed the president wild allegations of voter fraud based on highly dubious sources.

Trump was no longer focused on any semblance of a governing agenda, instead spending his days taking phone calls and meetings from anyone armed with conspiracy theories about the election. For the White House staff, it was an unending sea of garbage churned up by the bottom feeders.

Powell began this meeting with the same baseless claim that now has her facing a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit: She told the president that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged their machines to flip votes from Trump to Biden and that it was part of an international communist plot to steal the election for the Democrats.

[Note: In response to a request for comment, Powell said in an emailed statement to Axios: “I will not publicly discuss my private meetings with the President of the United States. I believe those meetings are privileged and confidential under executive privilege and under rules of the legal profession. I would caution the readers to view mainstream media reports of any such conversations with a high degree of discernment and a healthy dose of skepticism.”]

Powell waved an affidavit from the pile of papers in her lap, claiming it contained testimony from someone involved in the development of rigged voting machines in Venezuela.

She proposed declaring a national security emergency, granting her and her cabal top-secret security clearances and using the U.S. government to seize Dominion’s voting machines.

"Hold on a minute, Sidney," Herschmann interrupted from the back of the Oval.

"You're part of the Rudy team, right? Is your theory that the Democrats got together and changed the rules, or is it that there was foreign interference in our election?"

Giuliani's legal efforts, while replete with debunked claims about voter fraud, had largely focused on allegations of misconduct by corrupt Democrats and election officials.

"It's foreign interference," Powell insisted, then added: "Rudy hasn't understood what this case is about until just now."

In disbelief, Herschmann yelled out to an aide in the outer Oval Office. "Get Pat down here immediately!" Several minutes later, White House counsel Pat Cipollone walked into the Oval. He looked at Byrne and said, "Who are you?"

The meeting was already getting heated.

White House staff had spent weeks poring over the evidence underlying hundreds of affidavits and other claims of fraud promoted by Trump allies like Powell. The team had done the due diligence and knew the specific details of what was being alleged better than anybody. Time and time again, they found, Powell's allegations fell apart under basic scrutiny.

But Powell, fixing on Trump, continued to elaborate on a fantastical election narrative involving Venezuela, Iran, China and others. She named a county in Georgia where she claimed she could prove that Dominion had illegally flipped the vote.

Herschmann interrupted to point out that Trump had actually won the Georgia county in question: "So your theory is that Dominion intentionally flipped the votes so we could win that county?"

As for Powell's larger claims, he demanded she provide evidence for what — if true — would amount to the greatest national security breach in American history. They needed to dial in one of the campaign's lawyers, Herschmann said, and Trump campaign lawyer Matt Morgan was patched in via speakerphone.

By now, people were yelling and cursing.

The room was starting to fill up. Trump's personal assistant summoned White House staff secretary Derek Lyons to join the meeting and asked him to bring a copy of a 2018 executive order that the Powell group kept citing as the key to victory. Lyons agreed with Cipollone and the other officials that Powell's theories were nonsensical.

It was now four against four.

Flynn went berserk. The former three-star general, whom Trump had fired as his first national security adviser after he was caught lying to the FBI (and later pardoned), stood up and turned from the Resolute Desk to face Herschmann.

"You're quitting! You're a quitter! You're not fighting!” he exploded at the senior adviser. Flynn then turned to the president, and implored: "Sir, we need fighters."

Herschmann ignored Flynn at first and continued to probe Powell's pitch with questions about the underlying evidence. "All you do is promise, but never deliver," he said to her sharply.

Flynn was ranting, seemingly infuriated about anyone challenging Powell, who had represented him in his recent legal battles.

Finally Herschmann had enough. "Why the **** do you keep standing up and screaming at me?" he shot back at Flynn. "If you want to come over here, come over here. If not, sit your ass down." Flynn sat back down.

The meeting had come entirely off the rails.

Byrne, backing up Flynn, told Trump the White House lawyers didn't care about him and were being obstructive. "Sir, we're both entrepreneurs, and we both built businesses," the former Overstock CEO told Trump. "We know that there are times you have to be creative and take different steps."

This was a remarkable level of personal familiarity, given it was the first time Byrne had met the president. All the stanchions and buffers between the White House and the outside world had crumbled.

Byrne kept attacking the senior White House staff in front of Trump. "They've already abandoned you," he told the president aggressively. Periodically during the meeting Flynn or Byrne challenged Trump's top staff — portraying them as disloyal: So do you think the president won or not?

At one point, with Flynn shouting, Byrne raised his hand to talk. He stood up and turned around to face Herschmann. "You're a quitter," he said. "You've been interfering with everything. You've been cutting us off."

"Do you even know who the **** I am, you idiot?" Herschmann snapped back.

"Yeah, you're Patrick Cipollone," Byrne said.

"Wrong! Wrong, you idiot!"

The staff were now on their feet, standing behind one of the couches and facing the Powell crew at the Resolute Desk. Cipollone stood to Herschmann's left. Lyons, on his last day on the job, stood to Herschmann's right.

Trump was behind the desk, watching the show. He briefly left the meeting to wander into his private dining room.

The usually mild-mannered Lyons blasted the Powell set: "You've brought 60 cases. And you've lost every case you’ve had!"

Trump came back into the Oval Office from the dining room to rejoin the meeting. Lyons pointed out to Powell that their incompetence went beyond their lawsuits being thrown out for standing. "You somehow managed to misspell the word 'District' three different ways in your suits," he said pointedly.

In a Georgia case, the Powell team had misidentified the court on the first page of their filing as "THE UNITED STATES DISTRICCT COURT, NORTHERN DISTRCOICT OF GEORGIA." And they had identified the Michigan court as the "EASTERN DISTRCT OF MICHIGAN."

These were sloppy spelling errors. But given that these lawsuits aimed to overturn a presidential election, the court nomenclature should have been pristine.

Powell, Flynn and Byrne began attacking Lyons as they renewed their argument to Trump: There they go again, they want to focus on the insignificant details instead of fighting for you.

Trump replied, "No, no, he's right. That was very embarrassing. That shouldn't have happened."

The Powell team needed to regroup. They shifted to a new grievance to turn the conversation away from their embarrassing errors. Powell insisted that they hadn't "lost" the 60-odd court cases, since the cases were mostly dismissed for lack of standing and they had never had the chance to present their evidence.

Every judge is corrupt, she claimed. We can't rely on them. The White House lawyers couldn't believe what they were hearing. "That's your argument?" a stunned Herschmann said. "Even the judges we appointed? Are you out of your ****ing mind?"

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

Powell had more to say. She and Flynn began trashing the FBI as well, and the Justice Department under Attorney General Bill Barr, telling Trump that neither could be trusted. Both institutions, they said, were corrupt, and Trump needed to fire the leadership and get in new people he could trust.

Cipollone, standing his ground amidst this mishmash of conspiracies, said they were totally wrong. He aggressively defended the DOJ and the FBI, saying they had looked into every major claim of fraud that had been reported.

Flynn and Powell had long nursed their antipathy to the FBI and Justice. Flynn had pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation but withdrew the plea after hiring Powell as his lawyer in June 2019.

The two alleged the FBI had entrapped Flynn and failed to disclose exculpatory evidence, known as Brady material, as required by law. They had found an ally in Barr, a fierce critic of the Russia investigation who finally directed the DOJ to drop Flynn's case.

Herschmann, known inside the White House as a defender of Barr and the DOJ, went off on Flynn again: "Listen, the same people that you're trashing, if they didn't produce the Brady material to Sidney, your ass would still be in jail!"

It was no longer technically true that Flynn would be in jail, as he had received a post-election pardon from Trump. But Flynn was furious. "Don't mention my case," he roared. Herschmann responded, "Where do you think Sidney got this information? Where do you think it came from? From the exact same people in the Department of Justice that you're now saying are corrupt."

Byrne, wearing jeans, a hoodie and a neck gaiter, piped up with his own conspiracy: "I know how this works. I bribed Hillary Clinton $18 million on behalf of the FBI for a sting operation."

Herschmann stared at the eccentric millionaire. "What the hell are you talking about? Why would you say something like that?" Byrne brought up the bizarre Clinton bribery claim several more times during the meeting to the astonishment of White House lawyers.

Trump, for his part, also seemed perplexed by Byrne. But he was not entirely convinced the ideas Powell was presenting were insane.

He asked: You guys are offering me nothing. These guys are at least offering me a chance. They’re saying they have the evidence. Why not try this? The president seemed truly to believe the election was stolen, and his overriding sentiment was, let's give this a shot.

The words "martial law" were never spoken during the meeting, despite Flynn having raised the idea in an appearance the previous day on Newsmax, a right-wing hive for election conspiracies.

But this was a distinction without much of a difference. What Flynn and Powell were proposing amounted to suspending normal laws and mobilizing the U.S. government to seize Dominion voting machines around the country.

Powell was arguing that they couldn't get a judge to enforce any subpoena to hand over the voting machines because all the judges were corrupt. She and her group repeatedly referred to the National Emergencies Act and a Trump executive order from 2018 that was designed to clear the way for the government to sanction foreign actors interfering in U.S. elections.

These laws were, in the view of Powell, Flynn and the others, the key to unlocking extraordinary powers for Trump to stay in office beyond Jan. 20.

Their theory was that because foreign enemies had stolen the election, all bets were off and Trump could use the full force of the United States government to go after Dominion.

It was remarkable that the presidency had deteriorated to such an extent that this fight in the Oval Office between senior White House officials and radical conspiracists was even taking place.

"How exactly are you going to do this?" an exasperated Herschmann asked again, later in the conversation. Newman again cited the 2018 executive order, which prompted Herschmann to question out loud whether she was even a lawyer.

Then Byrne chimed in: "There are guys with big guns and badges who can get these things." Herschmann couldn't believe it. "What are you, three years old?" he asked.

Lyons, the staff secretary, told the president that the executive order Powell and Flynn were citing did not give him the authority they claimed it did to seize voting machines. Morgan, the campaign lawyer, also expressed skepticism about their idea of invoking national security emergency powers.

To help adjudicate, Trump then patched in the national security adviser, Robert O'Brien, on speakerphone. Trump's personal assistant brought O'Brien into the call with no explanation of what madness would await him.

O'Brien said very little in the short time he was on the call but intervened at one point to say he saw no evidence to support Powell's notion of declaring a national security emergency to seize voting machines. There was so much fiery crosstalk it was hard for anyone on the telephone to follow the conversation.

Trump expressed skepticism at various points about Powell's theories, but he said, "At least she’s out there fighting."

The discussion shifted from Dominion voting machines to a conversation about appointing Powell as a special counsel inside the government to investigate voter fraud. She wanted a top secret security clearance and access to confidential voter information.

Lyons told Trump he couldn't appoint Powell as a special counsel at the Justice Department because this was an attorney general appointment. Lyons, Cipollone and Herschmann — in fact the entire senior White House staff who were aware of this idea — were all vehemently opposed to Powell becoming a special counsel anywhere in the government.

By this point Trump had also patched into the call his personal lawyer Giuliani and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Meadows indicated that he was trying to wrap his mind around what exactly Powell's role would entail. He told Powell she would have to fill out the SF-86 questionnaire before starting as special counsel.

This was seen as a delaying tactic. The sense in the room was that Trump might actually greenlight this extraordinary proposal.

At its essence, the Powell crew's argument to the president was this: We have the real information. These people — your White House staff — don't believe in the truth. They're liars and quitters. They're not willing to fight for you because they don't want to get their hands dirty. Put us in charge. Let us take control of everything. We'll prove to you that what we're saying is right. We won't quit, we'll fight. We're willing to fight for the presidency.

On some level, this argument was music to Trump's ears. He was desperate. Powell and her team were the only people willing to tell him what he wanted to hear — that a path to stay in power in the White House remained.

The Oval Office portion of the meeting had dragged on for nearly three hours, creeping beyond 9 p.m. The arguments became so heated that even Giuliani — still on the phone — at one point told everyone to calm down. One participant later recalled: "When Rudy's the voice of reason, you know the meeting's not going well."

Giuliani told Trump he was going to come over to the White House. The president, having forgotten about the others on the line, hung up and cut multiple people off the call.

Herschmann, Cipollone and Lyons left the Oval Office, but soon discovered that the Powell entourage had made their way to the president’s residence. They followed them upstairs, to the Yellow Oval Room, Trump's living room, where they were joined by Giuliani and Meadows.

Trump sat beside Powell in armchairs facing the door, separated by a round, wooden antique table. Giuliani sat in an armchair to the right of them, while Byrne and Meadows sat on a couch. Byrne wolfed down pigs in a blanket and little meatballs on toothpicks that staff had set on the coffee table.

Herschmann was primed to brawl and ready to dump on Powell. It had been a long day.

"Rudy," he said, turning to Giuliani, "Sidney was just in the Oval telling the president you don't know what the **** you're doing. Right, Sidney?" He turned to Powell: "Why don't you tell Rudy to his face?"

"Eric, really it's not appropriate," Trump replied curtly.

"What's not appropriate?" Herschmann shot back. Turning to Powell, he said, "Why don't you repeat to Rudy what you just told the president in the Oval Office — that he has no idea about the case and that he only just began to understand it a few hours ago."

Three days later, Giuliani would publicly distance himself from Powell, telling Newsmax that Powell did not represent the president, and that "whatever she's talking about, it's her own opinions."

It didn't take long for the yelling to start up again. They were now in hour four of a meeting unprecedented even by the deranged standards of the final days of the Trump presidency.

Now it was Meadows' turn, blasting Flynn for trashing him and accusing him of being a quitter. "Don't you dare challenge me about whether I'm being supportive of the president and working hard," Meadows shouted, reminding Flynn that he'd defended him during his legal troubles.

Trump and Cipollone, who frequently butted heads, went at it too, over whether the administration had the authority to do what Powell was proposing.
Powell kept asserting throughout the night that she had — or would soon produce — the evidence needed to prove foreign interference. She kept insisting that Trump had the legal authority he needed to seize voting machines. But she did not have the goods.

Powell at one point turned to Lyons and demanded, "Why are you speaking? Are you still employed here?" The staff secretary, who had already resigned, laughed and joked, "Well I guess I'm here until midnight."

It was after midnight by the time the White House officials had finally said their piece. They left that night fully prepared for the mad possibility Trump might still name Sidney Powell special counsel. You have our advice, they told the president before walking out. You decide who to listen to.

Arizona Senate Drafting A Resolution Of Contempt Against The Maricopa Election Officials For Failing To Comply With The Senate Subpoena For Dominion Machines

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is again refusing to buckle to pressure from Republicans who control the Arizona Senate and turn over elections equipment and ballots from November’s general election.

The Republican-dominated board on Tuesday let a noon deadline for complying with a Senate subpoena pass without acting after hearing from their attorneys.

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Warren Peterson, warned of “serious legal consequences” if the board continues to drag its feet.

This could land them in jail for contempt, if one of the Senate Republicans who issued the subpoenas has his way.

Peterson tweeted that the Senate was drafting a contempt resolution against the board for failing to comply with the subpoena. It would take a majority vote of the Senate for that resolution to pass. Republicans hold 16 of 30 seats,

The Board of Supervisors have played all sorts of games to defer and dodge a comprehensive and accurate ballot of their results!

But now they could face jail time, if they did they would be the first casualties of the disputed 2020 elections.

In any case, if the election officials are clear and are telling the truth why delay the audit?

The Senate had given the county supervisors a deadline of noon Tuesday to say when they would comply with the disputed subpoenas, which Maricopa County has challenged in court and

Maricopa Board of Supervisors Still Blocking Legislatures Audit of the Ballots What are they hiding?

Call for a Total Recall

Wisconsin’s ‘Indefinitely Confined’ Voter Status Excludes Requirement for Voter IDs – 265,000 Ballots Cast in 2020 Election

By Joe Hoft
Published February 3, 2021 at 4:45pm

Wisconsin’s Indefinitely Confined voter status is ripe for fraud – expect Democrats to promote this status in all 50 states soon.

The ‘Indefinitely Confined’ status available for Wisconsin voters excludes a requirement for providing an ID when applying. In 2020 the number of indefinitely confined individuals in the state exploded. According to the state’s own report that will be discussed at a Wisconsin Elections Commission being held today, the number of absentee votes exploded in 2020:


The numbers surrounding absentee ballots in Wisconsin are shocking. In 2016 less than 28% of all votes were absentee votes but in 2020 the number exploded to 60% of all votes. Nearly 2 million absentee ballots were cast in Wisconsin in 2020 compared to around 800,000 in 2016 – a 250% increase. Only 4,ooo or .2% of all absentee ballots were returned and rejected and only 85,000 absentee ballots or 4% were not returned. In 2016 2.5% of absentee ballots were rejected, the equivalent in 2020 would be around 50,000 ballots.

Of the absentee ballots, over 265,000 ballots were in an indefinitely confined status, compared to 67,000 in 2016. This was an increase of 200,000 indefinitely confined voters.

The Wisconsin Election Commission claims that a majority of indefinitely confined voters “have a photo ID on file or have otherwise previously presented photo ID to vote in a recent election. A review of election records found that approximately four fifths of the voters meet these criteria.” (However, it is unknown how many individuals were sampled and which locations this estimate came from. Although this estimate might be overstated based on the work they performed to obtain this estimate, that’s still 52,000 ballots in the 2020 election in Wisconsin with no photo ID provided.)

The Election Commission reports that 57% of voters voted by mail in Dane County (nearly 200,000 voters of the Madison located county) and almost 50% in Milwaukee (nearly 220,000 ballots). Nearly 60,000 of the Milwaukee ballots were in an indefinitely confined status.

Also note that on election night more than 100,000 ballots were dropped in Milwaukee early the next morning.


The Wisconsin Supreme Court reviewed the state’s process surrounding indefinitely confined voters and observed that the Democrat Governor issued a directive in March 2020 regarding COVID-19. Based on this, the Dane County and Milwaukee County clerks issued almost identical orders declaring that all voters may considered themselves indefinitely confined due to illness, a part of which is noted below:

I have informed Dane County Municipal Clerks that during this emergency and based on the Governors Stay at Home order I am declaring all Dane County voters may indicate as needed that they are indefinitely confined due to illness. This declaration will make it easier for Dane County voters to participate in this election by mail in these difficult times. I urge all voters who request a ballot and have trouble presenting a valid ID to indicate that they are indefinitely confined.

Click to expand...

The Supreme Court ruled that a county clerk “may not “declare” that any elector is indefinitely confined due to a pandemic.” The Court went on to say if voters, “did not follow the statutory mandate and continued to vote as indefinitely confined, despite no longer meeting the statutory requirements, they would cast their votes contrary to the statute.”

We received a response from the Wisconsin Elections Commission overnight where they noted that “Nowhere in the [Supreme Court] decision does the court order the state to take any action in making a determination on whether voters qualify as indefinitely confined.” This is their excuse for not addressing any of the suspected invalid indefinitely confined voters in the 2020 election – they were not ordered to do so.

In addition, the Election Commission provided a memo they provided to County Clerks in an information only presentation in January. They had already moved on from the 2020 election and decided to address this issue. The memo states in part: “Due to the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, many voters requested absentee ballots as indefinitely confined voters. Voters who were indefinitely confined for the 2020 election(s) may no longer be indefinitely confined.” Then recommendations on how to address these voters are provided.

No where does the Election Commission address how to address the invalid indefinitely confined voters from the 2020 election. The solution to this madness is to request a valid and comprehensive forensic ballot review of the 2020 election in at least Dane and Milwaukee counties. Recounting garbage ballots is not the answer.

With 60,000 indefinitely confined voters in Milwaukee County alone and other abnormalities, like the loss of a flash drive, all ballots should be examined in a forensic review to determine validity even if the Supreme Court didn’t order this.

Arizona Senate Drafts Resolution Threatening Arrests of Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for Not Handing Over Requested Election Machines and Ballots

By Joe Hoft
Published February 4, 2021 at 7:30am

For some reason Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors would rather go to jail than hand over voting machines and ballots in their county to the Arizona Senate for purposes of performing a forensic audit of machines and ballots from the 2020 election.

Populist Press linked to this article at US News and World Report:

Republicans who control the Arizona Senate are moving ahead with their threat to pass a contempt resolution finding Maricopa County has failed to comply with a subpoena demanding access to elections equipment and ballots cast in the November election…

…The Republican-dominated board on Tuesday again refused to comply with subpoenas GOP lawmakers issued as they try to show that fraud or other election misdeeds led to Democratic President Joe Biden’s win in the state. Courts rejected eight lawsuits filed by backers of former President Donald Trump after his loss, finding there was no evidence that he did not lose.

The Senate has demanded access to voting machines and all 2.1 million ballots cast in the election. The board has said it can’t comply because ballots are sealed by law and the voting machines the Senate wants to examine need to remain secure.

Arizona Central reported yesterday that the Senate did meet:

Republicans in the Arizona Senate have escalated their ongoing fight with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors over the 2020 election.

Click to expand...

On Wednesday, they introduced a resolution to hold the board’s members in contempt for not turning over — or at least providing access to — ballots along with other records. It’s not clear exactly what a contempt finding against the supervisors would result in, though the resolution appears to allow for their arrest.

Click to expand...

Republican lawmakers are intent on conducting their own audit of the county’s election results after Democrat Joe Biden won the county and state. They have issued subpoenas for ballots, voting equipment and moreover the past two months…

…It would be the first time in decades — if ever — that the Senate has held anyone in contempt.

Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, said the chamber may vote on the measure on Monday if an agreement with the county is not reached. The Senate could then go back to court or ask the attorney general to prosecute. Disobeying a legislative subpoena is a class 2 misdemeanor.

Click to expand...

We’ve recommended that the state of Arizona should perform a thorough review of voting machines by forensic auditors who are not connected with Dominion voting systems and to have a forensic audit of ballots looking into paper, ink, creases and other anomalies to determine the extent of the fraud, if any.


We are not certain who the Senate is likely to use in their audits but pray they are thorough and efficient and have made our recommendations for using firms related to Colonel Waldron and Jovan Pulitzer.

The fact that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is so reluctant to turn over machines and ballots indicates they are hiding something.

Perhaps they’re scared that material fraud will be identified and they will go to jail for longer terms than contempt charges will allow?

As reported previously Antifa protester John Sullivan was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol on January 6th.


Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 as he damaged federal property.

Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington. This is a lie. He is a leader of the Utah Antifa-BLM movement and has been previously arrested.

“It’s just recording, solely, and not being active in it,” he told Fox News last week.



Sullivan also organized an Antifa-Insurgence rally on January 6th at the Washington Monument at 11 AM before they stormed the US Capitol.
The mainstream media refuses to report these facts.


Now there is video of Antifa-Black Lives Matter leader John Sullivan giving instructions to his co-conspirators on his channel Insurgence USA on how to effectively pull off criminal protest actions without detection. CNN invited Sullivan on their channel and described him as a reporter.

In the training video Sullivan offers tips on how to prevent detection and information on bulletproof shields to wear during planned insurrection activities.

Mathematician Edward Solomon looked into the results of the 2020 election at a precinct level and determined they are “impossible” and “cannot occur naturally.”

The results of the 2020 election are simply not possible. When looking at the precinct level, mathematician Edward Solomon says computers must have used an algorithm to change the results.

We Got It! TGP to Release SMOKING GUN Video from TCF Center in Detroit!

By Jim Hoft
Published February 4, 2021 at 9:46am

As we previously reported, on November 3rd President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in Michigan by over 100,000 votes. The ballot counting in Detroit on election night took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.

This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP observers, and where hundreds of affidavits by election observers claim they witnessed voter fraud.

At least three election observers testified in sworn affidavits that they witnessed vehicles delivering fraudulent ballots to the TCF Center early in the morning on November 4th.

And until now, no one has bothered to review the video footage from the TCF Center on election night.

The video can settle for once and for all:

• How many people were in the TCF Center and is there any validity to the excuse that they were over the “COVID capacity” – the excuse they used to exclude the Republicans from watching vote processing
• Why did so many Democrat poll workers bring in suitcases? Did they hide illegal ballots in them like their colleagues in Georgia?
• Were the machines networked? Can we see the modem and the wires networking the tabulating machines as described by Patrick Colbeck?
• Who brought in what at 3:30/4:00 am, were they ballots as the Republicans have said they witnessed or was it food/camera equipment as the media claimed? Shane Trejo and Jose Aliaga claim these were ballots.
• Was there any security keeping people out of the building who did not have credentials to get in?
• Were there other unexplained ballot dumps past the 8:00 PM deadline for ballots as several other witnesses have alleged?
• Was Nick, the co-owner of Dominion Voting Services, present on-site, as Mellissa Carone has said?
• Were GOP Poll Challengers being ejected for making good-faith challenges or were they refusing to wear a mask?

The Gateway Pundit requested the TCF video back in December!

The TCF Center tried to quote us over $22,000 for one day’s worth of video.

We requested two hours of video.

This week we were sent the requested video.

We have waited nearly two months for this video.

And after our initial review of the TCF security video, we can assure you — We have evidence of illicit and likely criminal activity and we have it on video.

We hope to release our first report of many on Friday.

CNN Even Admits There’s Still No Evidence Capitol Officer Sicknick Was Killed by Blunt Force to the Head on January 6th

By Joe Hoft
Published February 4, 2021 at 7:00am

After nearly a month since his death there is no evidence Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from blunt force to the head on January 6th.

Even CNN admits it’s more likely he died from the effects of chemicals sprayed into the crowd that day.
The media ran with the story that Officer Sicknick was beaten over the head with a fire extinguisher by Trump supporters.

It was only later that the facts came out. Propublica reported that Sicknick told his brother he was merely pepper-sprayed. And according to Officer Sicknick’s family, he suffered from a blood clot and stroke and was on a ventilator, according to Western Journal.

Officer Brian Sicknick died on January 7th, the day after the Capitol protests and immediately the media reported he died from injuries caused by blunt force to the head on January 6th. But it is unlikely this occurred since after a month of investigations, there is no evidence this happened. We first reported on January 10th that Sicknick reportedly died from something other than getting hit on the head by a fire extinguisher:


The Democrat led Congress held Sicknick in the Capitol rotunda this week to publicize Sicknick’s death while holding onto the narrative that angry Trump supporters clobbered him in the head on January 6th.

The problem with the Democrat’s narrative shared in Big Media is that it holds no water. After a month of investigations there is no evidence to support the story. Even CNN is coming around:

Investigators are struggling to build a federal murder case regarding fallen US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death as he defended the Capitol during last month’s insurrection.

Click to expand...

Authorities have reviewed video and photographs that show Sicknick engaging with rioters amid the siege but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said.

Click to expand...

Soon after Sicknick died on January 7, prosecutors in Washington opened a federal murder investigation, dedicating a team inside the US attorney’s office to build out a case, authorities have said.

Click to expand...

Now that the story of Sicknick’s brutal death has been used to the fullest extent, CNN is even reporting it might have been ‘friendly fire’ that contributed more to Sicknick’s death than a hit to the head:

In Sicknick’s case, it’s still not known publicly what caused him to collapse the night of the insurrection. Findings from a medical examiner’s review have not yet been released and authorities have not made any announcements about that ongoing process.

According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.

One possibility being considered by investigators is that Sicknick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed in the crowd. But investigators reviewing video of the officer’s time around the Capitol haven’t been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far, the official said.

The case could also be complicated if Sicknick had a preexisting medical condition. It could not be learned if he did.

Another day, another liberal lie. It’s all about power – nothing more.

BOMBSHELL: Arizona Senate Resolution Threatens Arrest Of Maricopa County Board For Failure To Adhere To Subpoena For Election Equipment & Ballots.

A VOTER PLACES AN ELECTION BALLOT IN A BALLOT DROP-OFF BOX IN SOMERVILLE. (JESSE COSTA/WBUR)

The Arizona Senate is set to pass a contempt resolution finding that the Maricopa County Board has failed to comply with a subpoena demanding access to elections equipment and ballots cast in the November election, with the potential threat of arrest alluded to in the sure-to-pass resolution.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday:

The Senate introduced the resolution Wednesday afternoon. Timing on a full Senate vote is unclear, but all 16 Republican senators are listed as sponsors, meaning it is virtually certain to pass.

If the resolution is enacted, the five members of the county board could be arrested for failing to comply. It authorizes Senate President Karen Fann to take “all legal action” needed to enforce the subpoena.

The document (in full below) demands:

That the President of the Arizona Senate take all legal action pursuant to section 41-1153, Arizona Revised Statutes, to enforce the subpoena.

Section 41-1153 states:

A. If a witness neglects or refuses to obey a legislative subpoena, or, appearing, neglects or refuses to testify, the senate or the house may, by resolution entered in the journal, commit him for contempt.

B. A witness neglecting or refusing to attend in obedience to a subpoena may be arrested by the sergeant-at-arms and brought before the senate or house upon authority of a copy of the resolution signed by the president or speaker, and countersigned by the secretary or chief clerk.

AP continued:

The Senate has demanded access to voting machines and all 2.1 million ballots cast in the election. The board has said it can’t comply because ballots are sealed by law and the voting machines the Senate wants to examine need to remain secure.

Board Chairman Jack Sellers said Wednesday he was frustrated that the Senate was threatening to find the board in contempt, saying he met personally with Senate President Karen Fann and thought both sides agreed to try to settle the issue.

“I want to be clear: the county will participate in any court hearing with the Senate if they plan to argue the restrictions on ballots should be waived,” Sellers said in a statement. “Instead of suggesting that we are violating the laws the Legislature wrote, they should turn their attention to finding a solution.

“If they truly believe in the legality of their position, they will join us in seeking a solution through the courts,” Sellers said.

GOP state senators sponsor resolution to declare Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in contempt

The entire contingent of 16 Republicans in the Arizona state senate has sponsored a resolution to hold the five members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in contempt for not complying with subpoenas pertaining to equipment, ballots and more related to the 2020 election.

The resolution may raise the possibility of arrests. It calls for the state senate president to "take all legal action pursuant to section 41-1153, Arizona Revised Statutes, to enforce the subpoena." That section of Arizona law states: "A witness neglecting or refusing to attend in obedience to a subpoena may be arrested by the sergeant-at-arms and brought before the senate or house upon authority of a copy of the resolution signed by the president or speaker, and countersigned by the secretary or chief clerk."

Since the chamber's 14 Democrats will probably not support the resolution, all 16 Republicans will need to vote for it in order for it to pass when the chamber eventually votes on it, according to the Arizona Mirror.

"It is our understanding that state law prohibits the release of the ballots once they have been sealed," Board of Supervisors Chair Jack Sellers said in a statement. "There is nothing prohibiting the Senate and their lawyers from going into a courtroom and explaining to a judge why the Board should disregard state law and allow access to people's ballots and personal information."

Four out of the five members of the county's Board of Supervisors are Republicans.

Democrat Lawyer Marc Elias Claims Faulty Voting Machines in New York Race

JOEL B. POLLAK3 Feb 2021673

Marc Elias, the election lawyer who represented Democratic challenges to state rules throughout the 2020 election, alleged in a court filing this week that a close congressional race in upstate New York was marred by faulty voting machines.
Republicans have been vilified for making similar claims about the 2020 presidential race.

In the congressional race for New York’s 22nd district, Republican Claudia Tenney currently leads incumbent Democrat Anthony Brindisi by a razor-thin margin of 125 votes. Tenney declared victory on Tuesday, though challenges continue.

In a legal filing Monday requesting a manual audit of the election, Elias, whose Perkins Coie law firm is representing Brindisi, argued that there were “substantial errors and irregularities in the conduct of the election.”

Citing alleged discrepancies between votes counted by hand and votes counted by ballot machines, Elias argued that the error rate, extrapolated across the entire district, could mean that thousands of votes were improperly counted by the machines.

He also complained about procedural faults with the conduct of the voting process, alleging failures to comply with New York State election law.
In one passage, he asserted (original emphasis):

In this case, there is reason to believe that voting tabulation machines misread hundreds if not thousands of valid votes as undervotes, (supra at 4), and that these tabulation machine errors disproportionately affected Brindisi, (id.). In addition, Oswego County admitted in a sworn statement to this Court that its tabulation machines were not tested and calibrated in the days leading up to the November 3, 2020 General Election as required by state law and necessary to ensure that the counts generated by tabulation machines are accurate.

Elias is also representing defeated Democrat Rita Hart in Iowa’s 1st congressional district, who lost by six votes to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller Meeks (R-IA). He is asking the Democrat-controlled House to overturn the result of the election and seat Hart, despite certification of the vote by state election authorities, bypassing Iowa courts in the process.

In addition, as Breitbart News has noted, “Elias was responsible for hiring opposition research firm Fusion GPS, on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, [which produced] the fraudulent “Russia dossier” on then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.”

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — A self-proclaimed "Sergeant of Arms" for the the nationalist organization the Proud Boys faces charges related to the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

The department announced charges against Ethan Nordean, 30, of Washington state, following the riots four weeks ago. Those charges include:

• Obstruction or impeding an official proceeding;
• Aiding and abetting;
• Knowingly entering or remaining in restricted building or grounds; and
• Violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

According to the release, Nordean, who also goes by Rufio Panman, is "the self-described 'Sergeant of Arms' of the Seattle Chapter of the Proud Boys, a group self-described as a 'pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world; aka Western Chauvinists.'"

The U.S. Department of Justice said Nordean was marching in front of a group of Proud Boys members before the riot began. Federal investigators said he was also part of the group that broke into the U.S. Capitol Building, as well as "confronted and vastly outnumbered" U.S. Capitol Police officers.

His involvement in the Jan. 6 events was not spontaneous, according to the release; on Dec. 27, 2020, Nordean posted on social media, asking for donations of protective gear and communications equipment.

Just two days before the deadly riots, Nordean posted a video on social media that was captioned, "Let them remember the day they decided to make war with us." He also reposted a fellow Proud Boy leader's comments, adding, "And fight we will."

In another video, he recorded a conversation with another Proud Boys member; the release alleges Nordean discussed "blatant, rampant voter fraud" in the 2020 Presidential Elections. He also described that the group would "bring back that original spirit of 1776 of what really established the character of what America is."

"Democracy is dead?" Nordean said in the video. "Well, then no peace for you. No democracy, no peace."

He continued to post on social media following the Jan. 6 events, posting a photo of a U.S. Capitol Police officer using pepper spray during the riot. As a caption, he wrote, "If you feel bad for the police, you are part of the problem."
Nordean was slated to appear in court Wednesday afternoon in Washington state.

GOP Candidate Mellissa Carone Says Her Goal Is to Make Sure Dominion Voting Machines Are Removed from all Michigan Voting Stations
By Jim Hoft
Published February 4, 2021 at 5:17pm

Dominion whistleblower Mellissa Carone announced her intention to run for State Rep in Michigan’s 46th District in late January. Carone hopes to replace conservative Michigan State Rep. John Reilly, who defeated his Democrat opponent in 2020 with 62% of the vote. Reilly is a popular conservative who is unable to run for office again because of term limitations.



Carone told 100% Fed Up that if she is elected in 2022, her number one priority will be election integrity.

The fearless whistleblower was threatened with a lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems after her testimony on election fraud in the 2020 election. She says her goal will be to make sure Dominion voting machines are removed from all polling locations in Michigan.

Mellissa told The Gateway Pundit she running on election integrity, going back to in-person voting including no more mail-in ballots. Mellissa pledged, “I’m getting rid of these Dominion machines and getting voter ID In Michigan. We are going to eliminating these gender studies and getting God and the Pledge of Allegiance back in our schools.” Mellissa added that she is 100% pro-life.

Mellissa Carone was interviewed for the documentary with Mike Lindell that OAN is playing on Friday.

Outgoing MI GOP Chair Who Left GOP Poll Challengers To Fend For Themselves At TCF Center Makes DIRTY Last Ditch Effort To Retain Power

By Patty McMurray | Feb 4, 2021

On the eve of the 2016 election, Michigan’s do-nothing GOP Chair Ronna Romney-McDaniel had an important phone call to make before making her way to Trump’s final campaign rally of the season in Grand Rapids, MI. It wasn’t a call to a member of the Trump campaign or even a major donor; it was a call to MI grassroots leader Marian Sheridan of the MI Trump Republicans. McDaniel’s call was urgent—she needed Marian Sheridan to find as many volunteers as possible to watch votes being processed at the TCF Center on election day. The truth is that the MI GOP leader had dropped the ball and didn’t have a single Republican poll challenger scheduled to work on election day in Wayne County, a Democrat stronghold and largest ballot-counting facility in Michigan. Marian Sheridan, who worked harder than any other Republican in Michigan to help secure votes for Donald Trump, was also on her way to Trump’s final rally, but she had to cancel her plans, so she could stay back and do the work McDaniel should have done months ago.


RNC Chair Ronna Romney McDaniels (L), who now admits she regrets allowing Rudy Giuliani to talk about voter fraud. Current MI GOP Chair Laura Cox (center) sent out a nasty email attacking the soon-to-be MI GOP Chair Ron Weiser in a last-ditch attempt to save her seat.

Fast-forward to 2020…
Michigan Republicans knew they were fighting an uphill battle with a newly elected radical Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who made the unilateral decision to send unsolicited absentee ballot applications to every registered voter in Michigan. With 7.7 million absentee ballot applications, drop boxes, and mail-in-voting with no ID necessary, Michigan’s November elections were ripe for massive voter fraud.

Outgoing MI GOP Chair Laura Cox.

QUESTION: Knowing that her predecessor was completely unprepared to address potential voter fraud at the TCF Center in 2016, how did Romney-McDaniel’s hand-selected MI GOP Chair Laura Cox prepare for the very real possibility that a deficit in Biden votes could easily be made up at the TCF Center where hundreds of thousands of ballots were being counted?

ANSWER: She relied on the same people her predecessor relied upon—Michigan powerhouse grassroots activists, Meshawn Maddock, and Marian Sheridan of Michigan Trump Republicans. Together, Meshawn Maddock and Marian Sheridan enlisted and trained an army of volunteers to work as GOP poll challengers and to sign up to be hired by the Wayne Co. Board of Elections as election workers at the TCF Center.

I worked as a GOP poll challenger and was stunned at the lack of planning by Laura Cox, who did nothing to ensure GOP poll challengers were protected from threats by Democrats and outside agitators. I was equally stunned by the chaos I found inside the room. Volunteers were forced to step up and assume leadership roles, as Cox left us with the daunting task of covering almost 150 counting tables with no organized plan for volunteers to address irregularities or outright fraud that we witnessed. The reason so many GOP poll challengers testified in front of the MI Senate Oversight Committee is because we were frustrated by the Democrat’s ability to run us over at the TCF Center with no one to turn to…no leadership whatsoever. That critical failure in leadership and organization at the TCF Center falls directly on Laura Cox.

When former Ambassador Ron Weiser, who’s been heavily involved in the MI GOP for decades, asked the very popular, outspoken Meshawn Maddock if she would consider running as the GOP Party vice-chair with him, it was a no-brainer for the woman who’s been trying to shake up the old ways of the Republican Party for years.

Former US Ambassador Ron Weiser

Maddock knew that having a role at the top of the party would allow her to make some much-needed changes in the party. The engaging grassroots leader, whose philosophy includes replacing establishment Republicans with true conservatives who aren’t afraid to fight back against the Left, hasn’t always been popular with the old guard, like Laura Cox and her husband Mike Cox, who’ve spent years as elected officials in the Republican Party but offered nothing in terms of results. For the Cox’s, it’s less about results or shaking up the Republican Party that’s been broken for decades and more about remaining relevant in social circles.

MI GOP Vice-Chair candidate, and National Women for Trump Advisory Board member, Meshawn Maddock

When it was announced that Maddock agreed to run with Weiser, local Detroit media worked overtime to smear her and her conservative, badass husband, MI State Rep. Matt Maddock, who, like his wife Meshawn, agreed to run for public office to give conservatives a true voice in Congress.

Instead of supporting the dynamic duo set to take the helm at the MI GOP, former MI AG Mike Cox, husband of the soon-to-be-former MI GOP Chair Laura Cox, worked behind the scenes to take down Meshawn Maddock. On January 12, Mike Cox retweeted a ridiculous hit piece on the Maddocks with an inflammatory and misleading headline by the far-left Detroit Free Press: “Rep. Matt Maddock, wife join conservative Facebook group discussing possibility of civil war”
In his tweet, Cox called the powerful conservative, grassroots couple “disgusting.”

Disgusting?

From the Detroit Free Press article:

State Rep. Matt Maddock, R-Milford, and his wife, Meshawn Maddock, who is poised to become the next co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, have joined a Facebook group where members have discussed the possibility of a civil war, decried a ban on open carry inside the state Capitol and hope for a “big cleanup” of elected leaders.

Click to expand...

Does former MI Attorney General Mike Cox really believe the Maddocks should be held responsible for comments made by “members” of a Facebook group they belong to?

Someone should tell the out of touch spokesperson for his failed MI GOP Chair wife that the possibility of civil war has been widely discussed and written about in multiple major publications. As a former AG, Cox should also know that MI is an open carry state and that the ban on the inside the MI State Capitol was a highly debated issue on many social media platforms. By criticizing Maddocks for being part of a Facebook group that debated the issue on a public forum, is Cox saying he’s against Facebook user’s First Amendment Right to free speech? And finally, the reason the Maddocks are so much more popular than the do-nothing Cox’s in Michigan is that they’ve been fighting for a “big cleanup” of elected leaders, which makes Cox’s endorsement of this shameful attempt at a hit piece on the Maddocks by the Detroit Free Press even more laughable.

@ronweiser @meshawnmaria Agree Benson is a Twitter hack and POTUS accomplished much. But he lost and conceded! Joining a FB group talking civil war?

This morning, the unpopular, do-nothing former MI GOP Chair, Laura Cox, who likely knew she had no chance of being re-elected in a fair and square election, made a last-ditch effort via a nasty email to MI delegates to save her political future.

Cox’s email accuses the uncontested MI GOP Chair candidate Ron Weiser of paying Stanley Grot, a MI Sec. of State candidate, $200,000 to drop out of the race in 2018. Cox claims she’s known about the payment since 2019, leaving many to question why she’s bringing it up now, less than 48 hours before the delegates vote for new leadership on Saturday?

“I, in good conscience, cannot sit quietly while Weiser refuses to address this enormous issue he created,” the outgoing MI GOP Chair wrote. “I am sharing this with you because he cannot and should not be the Republican Party chair.” Cox asks delegates to vote for her, assuring them it would only be “temporary,” then adds, “if you don’t want backroom deals, then vote for me.” If Cox plans to resign immediately after being elected, why would her so-called integrity matter to the MI delegates?

Cox ends her email with “The choice is clear.” If the choice was so clear, why didn’t Cox run for re-election? Why wait until the 11th hour to pull out an allegation against the soon-to-be-elected Ron Weiser that she’s known about for 3 years?

The answer is simple, this has nothing to do with Ron Weiser and everything to do with the very popular Meshawn Maddock who Cox knew she had no chance of defeating in an honest election.


According to the Detroit News – Grot labeled the allegation “nonsense” and said Thursday he was paid for work he did for the party. Weiser did not immediately respond Thursday morning to a request for comment. But Cox’s message included a 14-page internal report by attorney Jon Lauderbach on the payments to Grot. Cox said she asked Lauderbach, past campaign chairman for Attorney General Bill Schuette, to initiate the report.

In it, Lauderbach said Weiser told him that “nothing wrong” had happened with the payments to Grot. The attorney also said they arrived “at no definitive conclusion here; we believe the circumstances merit further investigation.”

“Mr. Weiser expressed a belief that this investigation is politically motivated,” Lauderbach wrote. “He believes that the investigation was commenced to aid Ms. Cox’s campaign for reelection as state party chair, and hence hinder his own campaign for that office.”

Lauderbach added, “Mr. Weiser reiterated his question about the timing of the investigation, asking, “they’ve known about this for two years, why didn’t they do this before?”

Instead of dividing the party to satisfy their own selfish political ambitions, Ron Weiser and Meshawn Maddock have a plan. In full disclosure, I am a Michigan delegate and am disgusted by the tactics of this the Cox’s, a has-been political couple who Republicans in Michigan are gladly replacing with the hard-working, honest, God-fearing Maddock couple, who represent the best interests of Michigan residents.

On Tuesday, I received an email from the soon-to-be MI GOP Chair. Here’s an excerpt from his letter to the MI delegates:

I can’t speak for every Michigan delegate, but I can tell you that the delegates I know are sick and tired of MI Republican leaders who are only interested in their next political move, and that’s why I reject these dirty tactics by the dirty husband and wife team, Mike and Laura Cox, who, like the Democrats in November, knew she could never defeat Meshawn Maddock in a fair election, so she’s resorted to a dirty last-minute tactic in hopes of stealing power from a very worthy team.

WI Elections Commission Report: Over 54K “Indefinitely Confined” Voters In WI Never Showed ID

Published on : February 4, 2021 Published by : Jacob Palmieri


Another example of the disaster that was the 2020 election.

According to a new Wisconsin Election Report, 54,360 voters who claimed indefinite confinement in Wisconsin did not show ID but voted in the 2020 election.

From Newstalk:

A Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) report released this week reveals that a staggering 54,360 voters who claimed indefinite confinement did not have valid photo identification on file with their municipal clerk and were thus able to circumvent Wisconsin’s Voter ID Law.

Click to expand...

The WEC’s Election Data Report reveals that 265,979 voters (a full 12.6% of the state’s total voters) claimed to be “indefinitely confined [to their homes] because of age, physical illness or infirmity” or were “disabled for an indefinite period” in accordance with Wisconsin Statute 6.86(2). Given that just 70,218 claimed indefinite confinement during the 2018 election cycle, this sudden 279% increase is even more suspicious.

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s the Breakdown on the 80 Cases Related to the 2020 Presidential Election

By Joe Hoft

The media in the United States is no longer interested in the truth. They are corrupted beyond belief. They used to be biased, now they are clearly dishonest.

Over and over we heard how President Trump didn’t win a single case in the 2020 Presidential election related to fraud in the election. The media called this proof that there was no fraud. Far left Buzz Feed reported in December:

President Donald Trump had another brutal weekend in court, with the US Supreme Court and other judges across the country rejecting his latest efforts to overturn his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.

Trump and his allies have lost 59 times in court since Nov. 3, according to a running tally on Twitter from Marc Elias, the lawyer leading Democrats’ fight against the GOP’s post-election challenges. The Supreme Court’s one-paragraph rejection of Trump and Texas’ bid to invalidate more than 20 million votes on Friday night was just one of a string of fresh losses that the president has faced over the past 72 hours alone.

Problem number one was it was Buzzfeed, problem number two was Buzzfeed relied on Marc Elias for their information. Apparently, Elias has a unique way of counting cases.

When looking at the number of cases related to the 2020 Presidential election that were decided on merits, there were only 21 cases decided so far. Of these cases, President Trump won 14. The President won 14 of 21 cases decided on merits which is two-thirds of the cases.

What the media doesn’t tell you and omits from their reporting is their greatest lie.

According to a list of all 2020 election cases related to President Trump found at the following link here:

The report as of February 4th, 2021 shows:

• There are 80 court cases to date based on the 2020 election
• In 28 cases President Trump was/is the plaintiff
• In 48 cases President Trump was/is not the plaintiff
• In 4 cases President Trump is the defendant
• 21 of these cases have been decided on merits
• Of the 21 cases decided on the merits, President Trump won 14 of them or two-thirds of the cases
• 25 cases remain active

It is horrible that the courts have not made the cases related to the 2020 election a priority. The courts’ procrastination in addressing these important cases in a timely fashion was, and is, abhorrent.

There are still 25 cases to be decided related to the 2020 election.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Visited Home of Trump Supporter Who Was Working in DC, But Did Not Even Attend the Rally

Published February 4, 2021 at 9:30pm

The FBI visited the home of Trump supporter Noel Fritsch, formerly of Big League Politics, for being in DC on January 6 — even though he was no where near the rally or subsequent takeover of the Capitol Building.

Fritsch says that the agents harassed his pregnant wife and attempted to intimidate her, while she was home alone with their four young children.

Speaking to the Gateway Pundit, Fritsch said that while he was in DC, he was miles away from the action. “I was at my laptop working. I work in conservative politics against Mitch and McCarthy trying to elect Tea Party and MAGA candidates to help the Trump Agenda,” he explained.



The visit by the two agents took place on Wednesday around 11:30 a.m. while his wife was at home with their children, all of whom are 7-years-old or younger.

At first, the agents, one male and one female, played nice and claimed that her husband was not in any trouble and that they were just looking to speak with him. They told her that they weren’t looking to arrest anyone and “didn’t even bring handcuffs.”

“They asked if she was there and if she was with me,” Fritsch explained. His wife answered that she is home with their children all the time. They asked if he was in DC on the 6th and she explained that he is constantly travelling for work and was not sure.

“We just wanted to know if he was there, or if he was the kind of guy who was standing on the outskirts saying ‘yay Trump’ — or if he was the kind of guy who would be on the inside breaking stuff,” she recounted them asking her. “It doesn’t look like he would be that kind of a guy because we’re looking around at your beautiful home and beautiful children.”

“Most of the time people are just so mean to us right when we walk up and you are just so nice. Thank you for being so nice,” she recounted them saying, attempting to butter her up.

The tone quickly changed, however, as the agents told her that they will have to keep coming back until they speak to Mr. Fritsch.

Fritsch said that he believes it was “nothing but pure intimidation tactic.”

“They want conservatives and MAGA country to give up and go home. The Harris Biden DOJ is looking to punish potential political enemies,” Fritsch added, “and they are using American resources to do it.”

“Memo to China Joe and Heels up Harris: MAGA country is only getting stronger,” Fritsch stated.

WOW! TIME Magazine Admits in Great Detail How 2020 Election Was Rigged Against Trump by Secret Cabal of Wealthy and Politically Connected Elites

By Jim Hoft
Published February 5, 2021 at 9:10am

For weeks after the 2020 election President Trump and anyone paying attention argued the election was rigged.

President Trump even warned months before the election that the only way Republicans could lose was in a rigged election.

Trump was right.

And today TIME Magazine even admitted in a long and detailed screed by leftist Molly Ball that a secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites joined together to rig the election against Trump.

Via Jack Posobiec.

Rigged.


The Supreme Court is still scheduled to decide on the illegal moves by Pennsylvania officials before the 2020 election.

The alliance of Trump-haters was even behind the illegal moves by far-left swing state officials to change voter laws without consent of the state legislatures.

TIME Magazine cheers this.

It was the definition of “rigged.”


So were they behind the illegal late-night ballot dumps too?

Molly Ball at TIME Magazine reported:

There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans. The pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain–inspired by the summer’s massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests–in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump’s assault on democracy.


The handshake between business and labor was just one component of a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election–an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted. For more than a year, a loosely organized coalition of operatives scrambled to shore up America’s institutions as they came under simultaneous attack from a remorseless pandemic and an autocratically inclined President. Though much of this activity took place on the left, it was separate from the Biden campaign and crossed ideological lines, with crucial contributions by nonpartisan and conservative actors. The scenario the shadow campaigners were desperate to stop was not a Trump victory. It was an election so calamitous that no result could be discerned at all, a failure of the central act of democratic self-governance that has been a hallmark of America since its founding

Their work touched every aspect of the election. They got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of millions in public and private funding. They fended off voter-suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time. They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears. They executed national public-awareness campaigns that helped Americans understand how the vote count would unfold over days or weeks, preventing Trump’s conspiracy theories and false claims of victory from getting more traction. After Election Day, they monitored every pressure point to ensure that Trump could not overturn the result. “The untold story of the election is the thousands of people of both parties who accomplished the triumph of American democracy at its very foundation,” says Norm Eisen, a prominent lawyer and former Obama Administration official who recruited Republicans and Democrats to the board of the Voter Protection Program.

Exclusive: The TCF Center Election Fraud – Newly Discovered Video Shows Late Night Deliveries of Tens of Thousands of Illegal Ballots 8 Hours After Deadline

By Jim Hoft
Published February 5, 2021 at 7:20am

By Cassandra Fairbanks and Jim Hoft

On Tuesday, November 3rd President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in the swing state of Michigan by over 100,000 votes. This appeared to be another solid win for President Trump in Michigan with a greater margin than his 2016 victory. The ballot counting in Detroit, Michigan on election night took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.

This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP observers, and where hundreds of affidavits by election observers claim they witnessed voter fraud.

At least three election observers testified in sworn affidavits that they witnessed vehicles delivering fraudulent ballots to the TCF Center early in the morning on November 4th.

Michigander Shane Trejo witnessed the 3:30 am Biden Ballot Drop that gave Joe Biden an outstanding lift. “There were thousands of ballots in each box,” Trejo says. “There were at least 50 boxes that I saw unloaded at 3:30 am, well after the 8:00 pm deadline for ballots to show up.”

The 3:30 am was the first ballot delivery since 10:30 pm when 138,000 ballots showed up suddenly. Shane later testified that he noticed that the city of Detroit Clerk’s Office and its emblem were written on the white van that showed up with the ballots. City Clerk Janice Winfrey‘s name was on the van and a number presumably for Janet Winfrey’s office. Trejo says the ballots could not be processed when they arrived, so by the time they were counted, a new shift of poll workers had come in for the day.

After these ballot drops Joe Biden took the lead in Michigan.


Shane Trejo explained how the timing was important. The Biden Ballot Drop took place at the end of one shift. The ballots were left uncounted. So when the new shift came to count ballots they didn’t know where the ballots had come from.

Trejo repeatedly asked about this truck to site supervisors and was STONEWALLED.

Former Michigan State Senator Pat Colbeck was also present at the TCF Center on the morning of November 4th. Senator Colbeck also witnessed the 3:30 am Biden Ballot Drop. Colbeck spoke with The Gateway Pundit back in November, “I went back there and I witnessed a mini-panel truck if you will with a Detroit Election Bureau regalia all over the side and a vehicle ID number on it… And inside of it, and this gets into some chain of custody discussions, there was no indication that there was a Republican and a Democrat (present) during transfer. We don’t know if they stopped by a sidestreet in Coney Island and picked up a few more ballots during transfer. We have no way of verifying any of that information.”

The authorities and media in Michigan were completely uninterested in following up on this shocking story.

Until today, no one has bothered to review the video footage from the TCF Center on election night.

The Gateway Pundit requested the TCF video back in December!

The TCF Center tried to quote us over $22,000 for one day’s worth of video.
We requested two hours of video.

Last Friday we were sent the requested video.

Since last week we have been combing through the hundreds of hours of security camera footage from the TCF Center on the morning of November 4th.

And what we found is a political bombshell.

** At 3:23 AM The Gateway Pundit has exclusive video of a white van registered to the city of Detroit entering the gate into the TCF Center.
** At 3:25 AM we discovered video from a second camera showing three individuals unloading over 50 boxes of ballots in a hallway inside the TCF Building and just outside the counting room.
** The ballots were then wheeled away on carts into the ballot counting room.
** The van is then seen on video leaving the center about 25 minutes later.
** Then we saw the van returning an hour later, entering the TCF Center again and unloading more boxes of ballots.
** The white van was escorted by a black sports car for both ballot deliveries.
** The white van was allowed through an electronic gate to enter the TCF complex.

This is video proof of the fraud in Detroit, Michigan. It is exactly as the GOP observers described it to us back in November!

We have more damning video from the TCF Center to release in the coming days.

Here is our video on the election fraud in the Detroit TCF Center on election night:

Supreme Court to consider election lawsuits in February

by Nicholas Rowan, Staff Writer |
February 05, 2021 09:20 AM

The Supreme Court on Friday listed several high-profile election lawsuits for consideration at its mid-February conference.

The cases include challenges to the 2020 election from Trump-aligned lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as Republican Rep. Mike Kelly's Pennsylvania lawsuit. Nearly every lawsuit takes issue with the expanded use of mail-in ballots by many states.

The decision came after the court declined to fast-track all election-related litigation in early January.

In nearly every plea for expedition, lawyers backing former President Donald Trump told the court that if the cases were not heard before President Biden's inauguration, their success would be unlikely.

But after the court pushed them off, many lawyers said that the challenges were still important and could have long-term implications for election fairness. Trump lawyer John Eastman told the Washington Examiner that even with Trump out of office, it was important to settle the issues raised by expanded mail-in voting.

"Our legal issue," he said, referring to the way in which Pennsylvania conducted the 2020 election, "remains important and in need of the court’s review."

Similarly, Kelly's lawyer Greg Teufel, told the Washington Examiner after the court refused to hear his case before the inauguration that the 10-year congressman and major Trump ally had no intention of dropping the suit.

As election litigation continues to play out in the courts, many Republican state legislators have begun introducing bills to curb mail-in voting through law.

If the Supreme Court accepts any of the election lawsuits, it is likely that they won't be heard until October.

WATCH: House Democrats apologize for privilege, discuss their trauma related to Jan 6 Capitol riot

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Scott Phillips, and other members of the Democratic Party spoke on the house floor on Thursday night, sharing their stories from the Capitol Hill riots that took place one month ago.

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Scott Phillips, and other members of the Democratic Party spoke on the house floor on Thursday night, sharing their stories from the Capitol Hill riots that took place one month ago.

Ocasio-Cortez's statements started by paying tribute to the two officers and four others who lost their lives during the riots, saying the events were incited by former President Donald Trump.

"Some are already demanding that we move on, or worse, attempting to minimize, discredit, or belittle the accounts of survivors. By doing so, they not only harm those who were there that day, and provide cover for those responsible, but they also send a damaging message to survivors of trauma all across this country; that the way to deal with trauma, violence, and targeting is to paper it over and move on."

Ocasio-Cortez would go on to compare all survivors of trauma to the experiences on the Capitol.

"We know what it feels like thinking that its a real possibility that we would to see our families and loved ones again. We won’t forget… I’m not here this evening seeking sympathy or just to tell my story, rather to make a public apology for recognizing that we were sitting ducks in this room as the chamber was about to be breached, I screamed to my colleagues to follow me to the republican side of the chamber so we could blend in," said Phillips, saying that the "insurrectionists" would "spare us if they simply mistook us for Republicans."

Phillips said, through tears, that he apologized to those in congress of color who could not blend in with the mostly white Republicans.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib's comments were even more tearful, as she recounted stories of previous death threats to conclude the session.

"This is so personal," Tlaib started. "This is so hard because, as many of my colleagues know, on my very first day of orientation I got my first death threats.

It was a serious one, the FBI had to go to the gentleman’s home. I hadn’t even been sworn in yet."

Tlaib would go on to list other instances where her life was threatened.

"I feel bad for Alexandria and many of my colleagues who were here. And as I saw it, I thought ‘thank God I am not there.’ I saw the images that they didn’t get to see until later."

"It paralyzed me, and all I wanted to do was serve the people that raised me."

"It’s hard when my seven brothers and six sisters pegged me to get protection, many urging me to get a gun for the first time. And I have to tell you, the trauma from just being here existing as a Muslim is so hard, but just imagine my team which I lovingly just adore, they are diverse. I have LGBTQ staff, I have a beautiful Muslim who wears her hijab proudly in the halls, I have black women who are so glad to be here to serve their country. And I worry every day for their lives, because of this rhetoric,” Tlaib said.

‘QAnon Shaman’ unrecognizable in mugshot from Virginia jail

‘QAnon Shaman’ unrecognizable in mugshot from Virginia jail

The accused Capitol rioter dubbed the QAnon Shaman is sporting a new look — sans horns — in this newly released mugshot.

The notorious shaman, whose real name is Jacob Chansley, is virtually unrecognizable without the furry headdress, horns and face paint in the jailhouse photo released by officials in Alexandria, Va.

Mugshots of federal inmates are difficult to obtain, according to Law and Crime, which published the photo.

In 2016, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that suspects can assert privacy interests in booking photos. The majority of judges in that case ruled that mugshots “convey guilt” and “haunt the depicted individual for decades,” the outlet reported.

However, as in Chansley’s case, federal inmates are sometimes housed by state or local law enforcement agencies, which may release the images pursuant to underlying state law.

On Thursday, Chansley was moved to a jail in Virginia after a federal judge ordered authorities to provide him with organic food while he’s in custody.

He was transferred to the Alexandria Detention Center after his lawyer argued that his client had gone nine days without eating because organic food wasn’t served at the jail in DC.

Jacob Chansley was indicted on civil disorder, obstruction, disorderly conduct and other charges for his role in the Jan. 6 riots at the US Capitol.

A judge ordered corrections officials to provide the special diet, which attorney Albert Watkins said is part of his “shamanic belief system and way of life.”

Chansley lost 20 pounds since being transferred from Arizona to Washington last week, Watkins told the judge.

On Thursday, US District Judge Royce Lamberth said the US Marshals Service told the court that the District of Columbia Department of Corrections had asked for Chansley to be moved because they couldn’t honor the court’s order to feed him organic food.

He was among a group of hundreds of President Donald Trump supporters who charged past police and stormed the building as Congress was meeting to vote to certify Joe Biden’s electoral win.

Good afternoon, my first post on the forum. I have been a long time watcher of the forum for many years. The fraudulent election was what prompted me to cross the line and join. My first post is this Absolute Proof . It is on the election fraud, a very long video and I hope I did not violate any rules posting. Take care

Time Magazine has published intricate details of what they deem “a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs. Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans.”

The article even confirms both The National Pulse’s reporting on former Obama lawyer Ian Bassin, as well as Revolver.news’s assertion of the involvement of Norm Eisen in what amounted to a major admission of a globalist set up to leverage the coronavirus, mail-in voting, and corporate interest to oust President Trump from office.
