Major League Baseball faces increased public outrage on Monday after observers noted that the league pulled its All-Star Game from Georgia 24 hours after inking a deal with streaming service Tencent, a Chinese company close to the Communist Party.

South China Morning Post pointed out that MLB has replaced the NBA as the “latest sporting battleground” after announcing it is building a more significant presence in communist China with a new deal with Tencent, among other deals.

The Global Times, an approved Chinese state news outlet, noted that MLB will continue its relationship with Tencent, but has also struck a new deal with Oriental Pearl New Media, “allowing the 2021-23 seasons to be shown on cable TV in China.”

The continuing deal with Tencent will allow MLB games to be streamed through the 2023 season. The agreement also enables Tencent to broadcast MLB games to other Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, through its international arm WeTV.

The decision to grow its presence in China through the communist government’s approved services comes on the heels of the league’s decision to pull its All-Star Game out of Atlanta, Georgia, over the state’s new election integrity law.

Last week, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred insisted that pulling the game from the majority-black city of Atlanta was “the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport.”

Meanwhile, the communist Chinese have celebrated the deal with American baseball. As Beijing Enterprises Real-Estate Group Ltd. chairman Qian Xu said in 2017 when MLB made an earlier deal, “We are thrilled to have a strategic alliance with Major League Baseball that seeks to enhance the playing level of professional baseball teams in China.”

Just like American pro sports, China has not been above using its relationships to push its politics. In 2019, Tencent stopped airing the NBA’s games when Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted his support for the pro-democracy movement in China-controlled Hong Kong. The NBA apologized to China, but the apology did not bring the country’s streaming service back to the fold for nearly a year.

Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) took aim at MLB for ramping up its dealings with the communist Chinese even as it pulls out of an American state, saying that MLB is a “little too woke.”

“Your sports league might be a little too woke if it will freely do business with Communists in China and Cuba, but boycotts a U.S. state that wants people to show an I.D. to vote.,” Sen. Paul tweeted on Saturday.



Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton also criticized the league with a tweet asking how many days of early voting China has.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued a statement Monday morning, outraged over corporations falling for a “fake narrative” and using “economic blackmail to spread disinformation.”

“There is no consistent or factual standard being applied here. It’s just a fake narrative gaining speed by its own momentum… Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box,” McConnell said in his statement.

McConnell said the public is currently witnessing what he called a “coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people” in order to “mislead and bully the American people.”

President Joe Biden has called any state-level debate on voting procedures “Jim Crow or Jim Crow on steroids.” McConnell said, “Nobody actually believes this,” adding, “nobody really thinks this current dispute comes anywhere near the horrific racist brutality of segregation.” He questions why a host of powerful people and institutions think they can stand to benefit from echoing lies about state-level voter integrity bills.


The Kentucky Republican pointed out even the Washington Post has repeatedly exposed the disinformation about the Georgia law. He emphasized the Post saying, “In reality, Election Day hours were not changed and the opportunities to cast a ballot in early voting were expanded.”

“Plenty of Democrat-run states allow fewer days of early voting than the new Georgia law requires,” he said, continuing to make note, a poll from AP-NORC Friday showed an overwhelming majority of Americans (72 percent) favor requiring a photo ID in order to vote.

“Last summer, just weeks after Senate Democrats used the filibuster to kill Senator Tim Scott’s police reform and anti-lynching legislation, Democrats abruptly began calling the same rules they happily used themselves a ‘Jim Crow relic,'” saying their tactics have predated the law in Georgia.

McConnell claims Democrats have a purpose for spreading all the disinformation, since the “Washington Democrats want to pass a sweeping bill that would let them rewrite all 50 states’ election laws and turn the Federal Election Commission into a Democrat-run partisan body.”

“Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling,” the Minority Leader said. “It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves.”

Corporations have already been “dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government” and taken a side on matters “from election law to environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment.”

Which is why the private sector has to stop talking signals from the “Outrage-Industrial Complex.” One day, corporations will have to endure “serious consequences” if they continue to be a driving factor in the “far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order,” McConnell said.
“Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box,” he concluded.

Nolte: Coca-Cola Banned from Georgia GOP Offices for Misleading Citizens

The Georgia Republican Party is booting Coca-Cola from state legislative offices after the soda giant deliberately misled the public about Georgia’s new voter integrity law.

In a letter sent directly to Coke’s Woke Gestapo, the Georgia State House of Representatives said in part:

Given Coke’s choice to cave to the pressure of an out of control cancel culture, we respectfully request all Coca-Cola Company products be removed from our office suite immediately.
…
Should Coke choose to read the bill, share its true intentions and accept their role in the dissemination of mistruths, we would welcome a conversation to rebuild a working relationship.
…
We have the responsibility to all of Georgia to not engage in those misguided intentions nor continue to support corporations who choose to. Given Coke’s choice to cave to the pressure of an out-of-control cancel culture, we respectfully request all Coca-Cola Company products be removed from our office suite immediately.

If you recall, last week, after Georgia passed a law that expanded voting access and voter integrity, a law that is still not as tough as the laws in His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s Democrat-run home state of Delaware, the Woke Gestapo at Coke freaked out with a press release full of lies condemning the law.

To begin with, Coke’s Woke Gestapo attacked the bill as “racist” over its photo ID provisions, a provision popular with 70 percent of the American people, including black Americans.

What was especially notable about this is that you cannot gain entry to a Coca-Cola shareholders meeting without a photo ID.

Oh, and Coke does business with China and has said nothing about the communist country’s concentration camps or its persecution of Muslims.

Leading the attack against voter integrity is His Fraudulency Joe Biden, who described the new law as “Jim Crow” and has so far told at least three lies about the bill. He said it restricts absentee voting — lie. That it outlaws giving people in line water — lie. That it decreases the number of hours polling places are open — lie.

Right-leaning people like myself are genetically opposed to collective action such as boycotts and the like, but what we have here is the fascist left using our own principles against us. If we don’t consider things like boycotts, how else are we going to fight back against fascist corporations like Coke (not to mention Big Tech) that are circumventing the Constitution to strip us of our rights by way of their vast corporate power?

I am open to suggestions.

The Top Reason Why the Arizona Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Are Delaying Counting of Their Results – They are Hiding Something

By Joe Hoft
Published April 5, 2021 at 8:35pm

Let’s hope the Maricopa County audit of the 2020 Election results occurrs soon.

Last week the Arizona Senate announced that they had selected the firms that would be doing their audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 Presidential Election results.

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Arizona Senate Republicans Courageously Announce Team Who Will Perform Maricopa County Election Audit and It’s Good News for America!

After the announcement the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors held an emergency closed door meeting after it was reported that the Arizona Senate had selected the entities to perform their audit of the Maricopa County 2020 Presidential Election results in Arizona’s largest county by population. The result of the meeting was that the Board would not allow the Senate auditors to perform their audit at the County’s Tabulation Center:"

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to Arizona Senate – You Cannot Do Your Audit Here at the Tabulation Center – Where Do You Want the Ballots Delivered?

Expert Attorney and Professor David K. Clements listed various reasons why the Board of Supervisors most recent action should be challenged. The number one reason being that the Board could claim the ballots have been tamported with once moved, which is why they did this in the first place.



Arizona Red Roots has put together a letter to send to the Arizona Senate to encourage them to get with the judge and work through the letter provided to them from the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors:


The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors act like they have something to hide. Their actions are not normal behaviour for those who have nothing to hide, to be sure.

RON PAUL: Vaccine Passports Might Be The Thing That Makes People Wake Up And Say Enough (VIDEO)

By Mike LaChance
Published April 6, 2021 at 12:53am

Ron Paul is a former congressman, presidential candidate and medical doctor. He is also the father of Senator Rand Paul.

He recently wondered if the idea of ‘vaccine passports’ might be enough to make people realize how much of their freedom they have given up.
Advertisement - story continues below

Paul suggested that this is a clear indication that the government wants people to think that their rights come from government.

Real Clear Politics has a transcript:

RON PAUL: I think the vaccine passports might be the one that, or hopefully, that the people finally wake up. That’s enough. I am not going to put up with a passport identifier in my body. I mean that is a sacrifice — that solidifies the whole concept that our lives belong to the government.

I always said the military draft was a symbol of who owns our bodies and the Internal Revenue Service because they own everything and allow you how to spend it. They own liberty and now you are going to get permission to use a little bit of it.

They are going to divvy it out a little bit. You’ll never get back what you should have. But that is what’s happening.

This is their guide for how to do it. Where you go, what you do, what store you can go in, what baseball game you can go, where you can go to school.

If this is not stopped — it is true, the people who are making these dire predictions about how bad things are going to get. If this continues, it is going to be bad. Right now, there is an effort, there is still an ability for us to speak out, if nothing else, one-on-one, talk to friends…

Three-Peat: Majority of Republicans Want President Trump to Run Again in 2024 – Most Believe Election Was Stolen

By Jim Hoft
Published April 6, 2021 at 9:05am

A majority of Republicans want President Trump to run again in 2024 election.

They also believe the election was stolen as we have argued here at The Gateway Pundit for months.

Meanwhile, leftist organizations continue to ignore the rampant fraud and corruption of the 2020 election.

Via far left Reuters:

Six in 10 Republicans also believe the false claim put out by Trump that November’s presidential election “was stolen” from him due to widespread voter fraud, and the same proportion of Republicans think he should run again in 2024, the March 30-31 poll showed.

And at least 6 in 10 Republicans want President Trump to run again in 2024.

Via far left Newsweek and the Palmieri Report:

The poll, which was conducted from March 30 to 31, showed that six in 10 GOP voters think that Trump should run for president again in 2024. Further, the same amount believe the false narrative that the election “was stolen” due to widespread voter fraud.

Happy Easter to ALL, including the Radical Left CRAZIES who rigged our Presidential Election, and want to destroy our Country!” Trump said in a Sunday Easter message, continuing to push the baseless conspiracy.

MLB Moves All-Star Game From 51% Black Georgia To 9.8% Black Denver (Which Already Has Voter ID).

• APRIL 6, 2021
• CATHERINE SALGADO

Major League Baseball (MLB) announced on Friday that it would be relocating its 2021 Draft and Midsummer Classic from “diverse” Atlanta, Georgia, to overwhelmingly-white Denver, Colorado in response to Georgia’s legislature recently passing some voting reform laws.

The voting reform legislation is being compared by leftists to “Jim Crow” laws and the MLB responded to pressure to relocate its draft pick and all-star game from Georgia. The 2021 Draft and Midsummer Classic will now be held at Coors Field in Denver, home of the Colorado Rockies.This move is ironic, considering MLB relocated supposedly to show support for black Americans.

According to the US Census Bureau, Atlanta, Georgia, has a population that is 51.0 percent black. According to the same source, Denver, Colorado has a population that is only 9.8 percent black. These facts seem to indicate that, as usual, leftists activists and organizations such as MLB are only virtue-signaling rather than really trying to show constructive support for black Americans.

Furthermore, as the Daily Caller noted on Monday, Colorado law states that “campaign workers are allowed outside of polling places to offer water, snacks, and other items to voters who are waiting to vote,” but are not allowed to do so if they wear political branding.

Colorado also requires voter ID for in-person and absentee voting.

“All voters who vote at the polls must provide identification,” Colorado’s law states. “If you are voting by mail for the first time, you may also need to provide a photocopy of your identification when you return your mail ballot.”

McConnell: Corporations Shouldn’t Fall for Absurd Disinformation on Voting Laws

‘There is no consistent or factual standard being applied here. It’s just a fake narrative gaining speed by its own momentum... Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box.’

McConnell: Corporations Shouldn’t Fall for Absurd Disinformation on Voting Laws
April 5, 2021

LOUISVILLE, KY – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement regarding disinformation campaigns surrounding debates over election laws:​

“We are witnessing a coordinated campaign by powerful and wealthy people to mislead and bully the American people.

“The President has claimed repeatedly that state-level debates over voting procedures are worse than Jim Crow or ‘Jim Crow on steroids.’ Nobody actually believes this. Nobody really thinks this current dispute comes anywhere near the horrific racist brutality of segregation. But there’s an old cynical saying that ‘history is just the set of lies agreed upon.’ And a host of powerful people and institutions apparently think they stand to benefit from parroting this big lie.

“The Washington Post has repeatedly debunked White House lies about legislation in Georgia: ‘In reality, Election Day hours were not changed and the opportunities to cast a ballot in early voting were expanded.’ Plenty of Democrat-run states allow fewer days of early voting than the new Georgia law requires.

More than 70 percent of Americans, including a majority of Democrats and a supermajority of independents, favor commonsense voter I.D. requirements; even so, Georgia will accept alternatives to driver’s licenses to verify absentee voters. All the facts disprove the big lie.

“These absurd tactics predate this Georgia law. Last summer, just weeks after Senate Democrats used the filibuster to kill Senator Tim Scott’s police reform and anti-lynching legislation, Democrats abruptly began calling the same rules they happily used themselves a ‘Jim Crow relic.’

“This disinformation has a purpose. Washington Democrats want to pass a sweeping bill that would let them rewrite all 50 states’ election laws and turn the Federal Election Commission into a Democrat-run partisan body. This power grab is impossible to defend, so the left wants to deflect. Instead of winning the debate, they want to silence debate by bullying citizens and entire states into submission.

“It’s jaw-dropping to see powerful American institutions not just permit themselves to be bullied, but join in the bullying themselves. Wealthy corporations have no problem operating in New York, for example, which has fewer days of early voting than Georgia, requires excuses for absentee ballots, and restricts electioneering via refreshments. There is no consistent or factual standard being applied here. It’s just a fake narrative gaining speed by its own momentum.

“Our private sector must stop taking cues from the Outrage-Industrial Complex. Americans do not need or want big business to amplify disinformation or react to every manufactured controversy with frantic left-wing signaling.

“From election law to environmentalism to radical social agendas to the Second Amendment, parts of the private sector keep dabbling in behaving like a woke parallel government. Corporations will invite serious consequences if they become a vehicle for far-left mobs to hijack our country from outside the constitutional order. Businesses must not use economic blackmail to spread disinformation and push bad ideas that citizens reject at the ballot box.”

DOJ quietly acknowledges there was no sedition at the US Capitol

Media hyperbole was the root cause of fabricating crimes that didn't exist
April 3, 2021

byLaw Officer


(Wikipedia Commons)

Despite all the outrage and the threats of charging “insurrectionists” with sedition—the act of attempting to overthrow the government—proving them based upon actual facts and evidence seems to be increasingly unlikely. For example, Michael Cantrell reported on America’s Sheriff that:

“Many of the trials for individuals involved in the Capitol riot of January 6th have started and much to the chagrin of liberals everywhere, the charges these folks are facing aren’t quite as serious as we were all led to believe they would be. In fact, the Justice Department has now said that the body of evidence in these cases is not as damaging as it was previously thought to be.”

Further, developing reports indicate that none of the 400 people who have been arrested for their involvement in the riot have been charged with sedition, according to the Post Millennial. The most serious charge that has been brought against a defendant in this incident has been assault. To be clear, there is quite a leap between the charges of assault—and the charges of conspiring to overthrow the government.

Even more perplexing, while others have been charged with conspiracy and obstruction, there’s a rather inconvenient fact that prosecutors must reckon. As the Post Millenial explained: “Others have been charged with conspiracy, and obstruction. While five people lost their lives during the riot, only one was killed with a weapon, and that was Ashli Babbit, who died after being shot by an unnamed Capitol Police Officer.”

The secrecy surrounding the death investigations of Sicknick and Babbit do nothing to bolster confidence in “transparency.” The additional three victims suffered medical emergencies, yet transparency is still lacking in these cases as well.

Prosecutors assigned to the cases have been feverishly working to prove a mass conspiracy. However, “less than 25 people are facing that charge, and ten people are said to have ties to the Oath Keeper militia movement,” the report continued.
Arizona prosecutors who detained Jacob Chansley (you know, the guy who wore the “horns”) had originally stated that they had a lot of strong evidence to support the charge of sedition and/or mass conspiracy. And the evidence included Chansely’s “own words and actions,” which prosecutors said indicated that the “intent of Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials.” However, Cantrell asserts that no proof of this was ever submitted.

Further, the Post Millenial report explained two other key points: “Another man, Ethan Nordean, was accused of sending ‘encrypted communications’ to the Proud Boys, but this, too, was dropped when it turned out that his phone battery died and he was unable to use it. The judge in Nordean’s case said there was a ‘dearth of evidence’ and declined to jail him. Prosecutors are trying again, however.” Once again, there is a stark contrast between the threatened charges that were publicly declared, and the actual charges in the court cases.

And in perhaps the most telling aspect, the report also cited Michael Ferrara, an attorney with Kaplan Hecker & Fink, LLP, and former federal prosecutor, who explained that “if it becomes clear that prosecutors overreached, engaged in hyperbole, of simply misunderstood social media and text messages, it would be no ‘small error.’”

Ferrara also stated that the zeal of the prosecutors could “color the way the judge sees the case going forward,” which could have a huge impact on the outcome for many of the defendants.

Ferrara isn’t the only one concerned. During a hearing in the case against the Oath Keepers, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta said that remarks made by DOJ officials “threatened to taint the prosecution of individuals accused of taking part in the assault,” as the Washington Examiner reported.

Indeed, despite the actual facts and (lack of) evidence of sedition, apparently prosecutors and the media are putting in a lot of effort to steer the outcome of these cases.

Fortunately, thanks to their eagerness, it’s almost impossible to ignore the hyperbole, the overzealousness, and the hypocrisy of politicians, prosecutors, and the media. And no matter the outcome of these cases, they stand in even starker contrast to the far less aggressive prosecution of violence and rioting that have taken place in the past year.

As many law enforcement officers continue to wonder: where was the aggressive prosecution for the thousands whose rioting caused numerous deaths—including the deaths and injuries of police officers—and billions in property damage that ravaged US cities in the past four years?

If these cases were pursued just as aggressively—and with just as much hyped-up media reporting—life for many Americans would be a whole lot safer.

Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger Both Caught On Tape In CHINESE SCANDALS

President Donald Trump Seeks To Defeat The Georgia Quislings

by PATRICK HOWLEY
March 31, 2021



Georgia Republican leaders Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger are both caught on tape in scandalous situations connected to China, which will likely hamper their re-election chances in 2022 now that President Donald Trump is determined to defeat them as revenge for their refusal to help Trump in the 2020 election overtime period.

President Trump endorsed Rep. Jody Hice, who is running against Raffensperger for Secretary of State in the Republican primary in 2022. Trump is also planning to campaign hard against Brian Kemp, who is expected to seek re-election in 2022. Raffensperger did not even manage to become a Republican Party delegate in his own precinct, underscoring his unpopularity with Georgia conservatives following “Raff’s” Quisling rollover on the issue of election integrity.

BRAD RAFFENSPERGER BEGGED FOR VOTES IN CHINESE-AMERICAN BALLOT SCHEME, AND SPOKE CHINESE ON TAPE TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO GOT HIM INTO THE GEORGIA HOUSE

Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was placed into office in the Georgia House of Representatives in 2015 by a powerful network of Mandarin-speaking Chinese people in the United States of America. NATIONAL FILE has obtained video of Raffensperger speaking at an event with Mandarin-speaking Chinese people, begging the Chinese people to get him more than 100 votes to secure his victory in the election (which he ended up winning by 159 votes). A Mandarin-language newspaper that actively coordinates with United Front, a network controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, even explained the strategy to place Raffensperger into office by use of “absentee ballots” that could be obtained by one Chinese person and distributed to others.

Raffensperger is trying to stop Communist China’s geopolitical foe President Donald Trump from gaining a proper accounting of the votes in the 2020 presidential election.

HERE IS A LINK TO RAFFENSBERGER MAKING A CALL, SPEAKING IN CHINESE, THANKING THE CHINESE FOR ELECTING HIM TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE IN 2015.

HERE IS A LINK TO A MANDARIN-LANGUAGE ARTICLE FROM 2015 in the “Atlanta America Chinese Life” publication at Americachineselife.com, a publication supporting Democrats in the January 2021 Georgia U.S. Senate runoffs. THIS NEWSPAPER ACTIVELY COORDINATES WITH UNITED FRONT, A CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY NETWORK, AS EVIDENCED BY THIS ARTICLE DOCUMENTING THEIR MEETING.

The article about Raffensperger’s election in the United Front-linked newspaper can be translated into English via Google Translate, and states the following — emphasis added:

“One of the reasons why we did not participate in elections in the past was that “one more vote, one less vote has no effect on the results of the election.” This time is different. In the first round of election, there were only two candidates left in the 50th District of the House of Representatives where Johns Creek was located: Brad Raffensberger (sic) and Kelly Stewart. They are all conservative Republicans, with almost the same political opinions. Only 2,500 of the 25,000 voters in the first round voted: Brad was only 26 votes behind Kelley.

Brad took the initiative to approach the Asian community to understand and listen to our voices. He visited the Chinese Dance and Culture School in the city center the previous weekend. Last Saturday he visited the Atlanta Modern Chinese School with more than 500 students. On Sunday, he hosted 30 Chinese at home to talk about his ruling philosophy. As a city councillor, he also participated in the award ceremony of my boy scout team and spoke on behalf of the city government…

According to statistical calculations, we only need 100 Chinese votes this time to determine the outcome of the election and make Brad a victory. He will represent our voice in the state legislature in the future. We have already boasted about Haikou with him and guaranteed 100 votes. This is an excellent opportunity for us Asians to show their strength. Your vote has never been so important. Election day is Tuesday, February 3. If you can’t vote in person on the day of something, I can apply for an absentee ballet (sic) for you. After you receive it, you can fill in and send it out. Due to the tight mailing time, if you need, please email me vale@PingMortgage.com.

In addition, in the municipal council election in September this year, Chinese people are likely to stand for election. Thank you for your attention…Xiao Yu”
(NOTE: Georgia law forbids people applying for absentee ballots for other people except if the person is out of the county temporarily or if the person applying is a direct relative of the voter).

HERE IS A 2017 ARTICLE IN WHICH THE SAME CHINESE-LANGUAGE PUBLICATION BRAGS ABOUT HANDPICKING RAFFENSPERGER FOR OFFICE, stating, “After a month of hard work and help from the Chinese, he finally won the final election…Shun aroused fighting spirit, so I and Brad reported the number of Chinese votes every hour. In the end, Brad won the victory. The numbers we quoted are very close, obviously the Chinese votes played a key role in winning.”

BRIAN KEMP AND CHINA

Republican Georgia governor Brian Kemp met with and made deals with the Chinese Communist Party, according to Chinese-language records. Kemp reportedly “warmly welcomed” the Chinese Consul General from Houston in a meeting in which Kemp invited Chinese business investment in Georgia.

That Consul General was accused by the Trump administration’s State Department of running an espionage ring, and the United States closed his Consulate in July 2020. Kemp effectively prevented China’s geopolitical foe President Donald Trump from getting a fair count of the votes in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

HERE IS AN OCTOBER 9, 2019 ARTICLE IN THE CHINESE-LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER “Atlanta America Chinese Life,” an outlet that coordinates with United Front, a network controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The article, translated by Google, reads in part:

“At the end of September 2019, Consul General Cai Wei visited Georgia in person, visited Atlanta, Gunet County, and other regions, and had a cordial meeting with Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. Consul General Cai Wei called on Georgia Governor Kemp. At the meeting with Governor Kemp, Consul General Cai reviewed the cooperation between China and Georgia. Consul General Cai expressed his willingness to continue to promote bilateral exchanges and practical cooperation on the basis of previous work. Governor Kemp warmly welcomed Consul General Cai to take office, introduced the business environment in Georgia, and said that he welcomes more Chinese companies to invest and more Chinese students to study. At the same time, Governor Kemp spoke highly of the outstanding contributions made by overseas Chinese to the local economic and cultural development.”


Kemp’s relationship with the Chinese Communists is concerning considering China was the outbreak spot for the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic that resulted in 2020 election chaos in America, with many paper ballots getting counted late at night in Fulton County, Georgia. China has been open about its adversarial relationship with President Trump after Trump imposed tariffs to gain trade concessions from the Chinese regime.

NATIONAL FILE REPORTED:
In a Chinese advertisement released by Georgia USA, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is seen on video encouraging Chinese investors to consider working with Georgia, noting that “China is a top source for imports.”

“China is a top source for imports and our third largest export market. We welcome thousands of Chinese visitors every year to the ‘Peach State’ and we are constantly helping to develop new opportunities for Chinese companies,” said Kemp, standing in front of the Chinese flag.

The Gateway Pundit’s Joe Hoft joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Tuesday to discuss the latest outlandish comments by Liz Cheney.

As reported on Monday, Liz Cheney, the third-ranked Republican in the US House of Representatives, attacked conservative Republican Study Committee member Jim Banks (R-IN) on a call this week. Banks cheered the news that the Republican Party is now the party of working Americans. Liz Cheney sneered at the idea.

Representative Liz Cheney Now Attacking Republican House Members and Deriding Them for Being the Party of the Worker

Tuesday on The War Room TGP’s Joe Hoft and Steve Bannon ripped the elitist Republican for her complete cluelessness to the changing political landscape.

Via The War Room:

Cheney recently attacked another Republican house member who urged the GOP to continue to be the party of the working class as it became under President Trump. Cheney called the idea “neo-marxist.”

“She’s really a piece of work, isn’t she?” Hoft said.

“How could she come up with that even?” Hoft said. “Trump has laid everything right at the feet of the Republican Party and people like Liz Cheney have no appreciation.”

“She’s just like Hillary Clinton,” said Stephen K. Bannon. “She thinks the Deplorables are the Deplorables.”

Hoft blasted Cheney for again attacking President Trump, when she did nothing to stop the stolen election. Hoft said establishment Republicans are lacking the perspective of the crisis America is in.

Playing games, whether it be team sports, video games, or board games with friends and family, can be one of the greatest joys in life. Because people have always relished friendly competition, the opportunity to push mental and physical limits, and even bragging rights, games in some form have been a part of our existence since the beginning of human history. Sadly though, as long humans have desired to win games, a small minority has always been willing to cheat or even change the rules mid-game to their own advantage.

From baseball to gin rummy, there are and must be rules to every game. These define the parameters of competition, ensure a fair and equitable outcome, and allow the losers to leave the ‘field’ of play disappointed for sure, but comfortable in knowing they lost fair and square and fully aware of what they need to do in order to improve their game for the next time they play. Allow a cheater to prevail, however, and everything falls apart. For example, what if your tennis opponent suddenly decided that balls they hit that land in the doubles zone count, but yours don’t? You would naturally pause and have a word with your opponent. If he or she failed to listen to reason, what would you do? Why, stop playing, of course, right?

Which, oddly enough, brings me to politics, something that is most definitely NOT a game (though I sometimes wish it were). The rules of the ‘game’ in the United States are so simple that most of us learned it in high school civics class, though the actual sausage-making has become uber-complex. It takes a House majority and at least 60 votes in the Senate - if one side invokes the filibuster - in order to pass a bill to the president, who can then sign or veto. Then, the Supreme Court has the power to determine the constitutionality of the passed law.

However, within this framework, there are ways to tweak the system - to ‘cheat’ - that may be technically legal, but if enacted would fundamentally change the ‘game.’

Adding Senators

The Senate, a body created to be deliberative with long-standing rules that foster compromise, is comprised of two senators from each state. The last time a state was added, the political balance of Alaska and Hawaii were carefully considered so as to not unfairly benefit one party. Though there has been some clamoring to break up California, at no point have Republicans suggested, ‘hey, why not break up Alabama into four states so Republicans can get six extra senators.’ It's a game anyone of any political persuasion could play all day.

Republicans could find new ‘states’ in southwest Virginia, eastern Oregon, northern New York, and countless other solid blue states, while Democrats could point to places like southern Florida, western Tennessee, and others.

For now, Democrats ‘merely’ want to make Washington D.C. a state, followed by Puerto Rico. Notwithstanding the recent runoff results in Georgia, they know the Senate is their Achilles heel with small, red states able to send as many senators to Washington as California or New York. To that end, they see four new Democratic senators, and an almost unsurpassable Senate majority, as their birthright.

Packing Courts

Yes, Congress technically does have the power to change the number of Supreme Court justices. However, Franklin Roosevelt once proposed packing the Supreme Court with justices friendly to his agenda, only to be laughed out of the room by members of both parties who saw it for the disgusting political power-play that it was. Democrats today, however, see packing the Supreme Court as a way to undo former President Trump’s success in appointing justices.

Elections

In their efforts to rid the country of every means to ensure that every eligible citizen gets one vote and one vote only, Democrats know that enabling cheating will result in wins for the side that (primarily) cheats. Why else would they be pushing for ballot harvesting and the end to voter ID?

Immigration

The unending hordes of illegal immigrants are coming here at the encouragement and invitation of President Biden and Democrats. If these were potential Republican voters, do you think they’d receive the same welcome mat?

Of course not. Ultimately, smart people on the left know that their ideas are toxic and in many cases super unpopular. Therefore, the only way they can keep winning elections is to import voters they see as sympathetic to their cause.

Ending the Filibuster

It all starts here, of course. The Senate filibuster, though it has undergone some changes throughout history, has never been this close to ending at the hands, or tentacles, of a raw power grab. Former President Trump begged then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to do away with the filibuster, but the Kentucky senator refused, rightly appealing to tradition, fairness, and the chances that the tables would eventually be turned. Democrats strongly agreed … then … but now that the tables HAVE turned, they’re singing an entirely different tune. They know, as does President Biden and every leftist granola-cruncher from here to Woodstock, that they have a small window in which they could - if they could only ditch the filibuster - conceivably pass everything they’ve ever dreamed of passing, from the Green New Deal to making Washington D.C. the 51st state.

In other words, they want to change the rules so they can change the rules. Why? So they can stay in control of our lives forever. Tragically, this is NO game, and there’s nothing noble or even slightly well-intentioned about their motives. They are ghouls, and the language they speak is power.

So, what should fair-minded participants do when bad actors they are in a ‘game’ with cheat and change the rules to suit their own evil ends? Sure, we should try to stop it, and that’s what Republicans, even some of the weak-kneed ones, are trying to do. The jury is out on whether they’ll find success.

But what’s the answer if Republicans don’t succeed? What’s the answer if the left rigs the game so that the United States becomes a permanent one-party state? Well, at that point, millions of conservatives may eventually just stop playing the game.

Election Fraud Prosecution at an ‘All-Time High’: Texas Attorney General’s Office

Election Fraud Prosecution at an ‘All-Time High’: Texas Attorney General’s Office
BY JACK PHILLIPS

April 6, 2021 Updated: April 6, 2021

An official in Texas’ Attorney General’s office testified during a state House hearing that the number of election fraud cases in Texas is at an “all-time high.”
The amount is “higher than our historical average by a long shot,” said Jonathan White, the head of the election fraud agency within the Texas Attorney General’s Special Prosecution Division, to the Texas House Elections Committee last week, reported The Texan.

When asked by a state lawmaker if there were trends in election fraud prosecutions, White said that “have 510 offenses pending against 43 defendants in court right now,” saying it’s “for several reasons probably.” He did not elaborate.

White said that about 80 percent of those pending cases involve alleged mail-in ballot fraud, and 60 percent of resolved cases involved mail-in voting.

The attorney general’s office prosecuted 534 election fraud-related cases committed by 155 people since 2005, according to the report.

“I think we could both agree that 99.9 percent of people are honest and forthright, they don’t cheat at elections. They don’t go around murdering people or committing aggravated robberies, either,” White said in the hearing.

Last week, the Republican-led Texas state Senate approved legislation that would ban mail-in ballot drop boxes and most drive-thru voting, a measure that Republicans say “ensures election integrity.” Democrats have said it’s voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote.

The measure, according to state Sen. Bryan Hughes, a Republican, is “designed to address areas through process where bad actors can take advantage because we want the people of Texas to be confident their elections are fair, honest, and open.” The legislation “standardizes and clarifies” voting rules so “every Texan has a fair and equal opportunity to vote, regardless of where they live in the state.”

It also will require voters who have disabilities to prove that they can’t access polls in person in order to qualify for a mail-in ballot, and would also require authorization from top state leaders to be alerted about any private funding of more than $1,000 that is given to election departments, according to KXAN.
Democrats said the bill will lead to voter suppression.

“Every eligible Texan deserves to have their voice heard at the ballot box—regardless of their race, ethnicity, disability, gender, age, income, or party. SB 7 makes it harder for every Texan to vote,” a statement from the state Democratic Party said. “We aggressively fought this bill because we know it will disenfranchise racial and ethnic minority voters and voters with disabilities, including veterans.”

Lin Wood on Saving America: Speak Truth and Fight Back
By
Michelle Edwards
-April 5, 2021


L. Lin Wood, a recent transplant to South Carolina, is an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Georgia, a privilege he’s held for almost forty-four years.

During that time, he’s been a member in good standing with the State Bar of Georgia. A true patriot who cares deeply about the United States of America and all she stands for, Mr. Wood is currently under attack by the State Bar of Georgia with an unprecedented effort underway by its Disciplinary Board to ban him from practicing law in the state unless he submits to a psychological evaluation to determine his mental fitness.

The profoundly reverential Wood, a fierce supporter of President Trump, election integrity, and the First Amendment, is no stranger to uphill battles and controversy. He calmly, intently, and unabashedly shares his trials and tribulations on social media, where his steadfast and resilient character holds the line. And while the Georgia Bar threatens his license over out-of-state grievances, forward-thinking Wood recently announced he is running for chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, clarifying a compelling reason behind his decision:

“This is the time for action by the people in this country that love freedom and love America. It is time for the leadership of the Republican Party to recognize and appreciate the amazing Patriots stepping up to get involved in the party—this is NOT the time to take action to exclude them from the Party.”

The Humbling Path That Led Wood To Law
Wood, 68, grew up in a household plagued by alcoholism and domestic violence. When he was 16, Wood arrived home one night to discover that his father had killed his mother during a drunken blackout. After checking his mother’s pulse and realizing she was deceased, Wood called the police. He spoke of the life-altering experience in a past interview, sharing:

“I remember walking down the driveway and driving off in my mother’s car. I was going to stay with a friend, but first I stopped in the park and kind of had a little heart-to-heart with myself. I said, ‘You’re in charge of your life now. You’ve got to do something with it.’ That doesn’t mean that I wasn’t affected by it emotionally. I just knew that I had a horrible situation and I had to deal with it. I’ve been fairly independent ever since.”

Wood’s father was arrested and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

Using money raised by the community, Wood hired attorneys Hank O’Neal and Manley F. Brown to represent his father (who served two years) at a reduced fee.

Wood believes they agreed to the case out of a desire to help him and his sister, who each excelled in school despite their troubled home life. Wood said of the impact of their gesture, which inspired his decision to become a lawyer, “Somebody stepping in to help me like that was a great comfort, and I try to remember that when I help my clients.”

Wood went on to attend undergraduate and law school at Mercer University in Macon, GA with scholarships, student loans, and working various part-time jobs.

He opened his Georgia law practice in 1983, focusing primarily on victims of medical malpractice. Wood quickly established a reputation as a trial lawyer skilled at winning large verdicts and settlements, and it wasn’t long before he was attracting national headlines for defending high-profile cases. For 16 years, Wood represented the late Richard Jewell, who was falsely accused of setting off the Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

He also represented the family of Jon Benét Ramsey, filing defamation suits on their behalf and settling in 2019 a civil lawsuit against CBS. Wood’s extensive client list is impressive.

The Metaphor of Mercer Law School’s Attack on Lin Wood
Although previously in good standing with his alma mater, in late January of this year, Wood learned that Mercer Law School was holding a Zoom call with students and faculty to discuss demands that his name be removed from a courtroom in the university that had been designated in his honor following a $1 million donation—a recognition request he did not make. During the call, which Wood joined without her knowledge, Dean Cathy Cox vilified Wood, passing judgment on his relationship with his children and attacking, among other things, his support for President Donald Trump. Making no mention of the well documented, long-standing concerns surrounding election fraud, Cox declared that since last summer, she witnessed Wood (through the biased lens of Twitter) spiral downward, going from the “super-charged Trump supporter” to the “angry Trump supporter” to ultimately the “violent Trump supporter.”

When Wood finally spoke up on the call to respond to Cox (a Democrat who oversaw Georgia elections as Secretary of State from 1999 through 2007 and led them to become the first state to exclusively use touch-screen voting equipment, purchasing 19,000 machines to the tune of $54 million), he immediately expressed his embarrassment over her lack of honesty and professionalism on the call, and he informed her that she was, in fact, using propaganda to attack him without giving him the courtesy of due process. In his characteristically calm and articulate demeanor, Wood reminded the students on the call that, as per the First Amendment, he had “exercised his right of free speech,” adding that, “some people believe in Trump, and some don’t [but] I hope we all believe in the right of free speech.”

As a quick aside, to further illustrate the evolution of the serious election security issues shared by Wood and countless others, the 2006 Princeton University video below addresses voting machine vulnerabilities that began to plague our nation following the introduction of electronic voting equipment. Remember, in 2002, under the direction of then SoS Cathy Cox, Georgia became the first state to deploy paperless, “unauditable” touchscreen direct record electronic (“DRE”) voting machines statewide.

Picking back up on the Zoom call, Wood further explained that two and a half years ago, he “got tapped on the shoulder by God,” and became a follower of Jesus Christ, which he believes led to his estrangement with his children and the change in some people’s attitude toward him. He added that “some people think that when you follow Jesus, you’re crazy.” Wood continued, sharing with Cox his resentment over her defamatory comments about his mental health, adding:

“I have actively sought as a lawyer to pursue evidence, overwhelming evidence, of what I believe was election fraud in the state of Georgia and across the nation. I’ve been joined in that investigation by a number of very skilled and professional lawyers. I’ve also been joined in that investigation by Gen. Michael Flynn, who served this country for thirty years. He’s a fine man. The only other thing I’ve done is that I have been privy to receiving information which I investigated for credibility that would show some very dark corruption in high-ranking members of our government. I would think it is a lawyers duty, when presented with that information, [and] deem it credible, to bring it to the public’s attention.”

Choosing to ignore Wood’s principled and undeterred duty to the pursuit of truth and justice, Cox, like countless others in legacy media and left-leaning politics currently trying to destroy Wood, instead labeled him a mentally unfit conspiracy theorist who shouldn’t be associated with the sanctity of justice.

Part 2 of 2

When in reality, many, including colleague Mark V. Spix, put the blame for the attacks against Wood squarely on the more plausible possibility that the intent of destroying Wood runs parallel to the fact that he is hitting dangerously close to exposing the truth.

2:15 min

The fallout from the relentless attacks on Wood spreads far and wide. In January, a judge in Delaware, who referenced Wood’s statements about Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, blocked Wood from representing former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. In the same month, Kentucky teen Nicholas Sandmann, who won millions in settlements from the Washington Post and CNN as Wood’s client, also fired Wood, presumably after his tweet about former Vice President Mike Pence. With no hard feelings, Wood wished Sandmann nothing but the best after being let go, stating:

“I love Nicholas Sandmann. I was honored when he asked me to lead the battle against the angry mob which falsely accused him. I did my best for him and am proud that I obtained settlements for him against mainstream media giants CNN and The Washington Post. I wish Nicholas continued success in his remaining cases against NBC, CBS, ABC, Rolling Stone, Gannett, and The New York Times.

Todd McMurtry is an excellent lawyer who I assume will lead the battles for Nicholas now that I have been fired. I wish Todd luck. I am sure the best is yet to come.”

State Bar of Georgia’s Disciplinary Committee Joins the Fight
On Feb. 5, 2021, the State Bar of Georgia filed a 1,677-page official grievance complaint against Wood, stating he may have engaged in conduct in violation of Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and Bar Rule 4-104. The document is not a judgment or a disciplinary finding—it is an accusation focused on Wood’s public statements and legal proceedings related to the 2020 presidential election.

Recently, while examining the Georgia Bar’s assault against him, Wood expressed curiosity about the relationship between the Executive Committee of the State Bar of Georgia and Gov. Brian Kemp, Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, SoS Brad Raffensperger, AG Chris Carr, and former SoS and Mercer Dean Cathy Cox, pointing out that the grievance filed against him accuses him of wrongdoing “for every lawsuit filed across the nation asserting election fraud.” According to Wood:

“The GA State Bar attaches the lawsuit filed by my former office-sharing colleagues but not my answer denying the allegations. That case is being litigated and is unresolved. The GA State Bar attacks my social posts, even impliedly mocking my public statements of my religious faith. The GA State Bar accuses me of being responsible for the Jan. 6 “insurrection” in Washington, DC. The GA State Bar accuses me of making false accusations against Pence, Roberts, & Rosenstein but fails to mention the interview of the credible whistleblower which I provided to the Bar two weeks ago which supports my statements. The GA State Bar asserts claims against me arising out of media articles in which I am not even mentioned. Plus much more. In short, the GA State Bar is trying to crush me to silence me and prevent me from practicing law.”

Wood, who often shares critical feedback about himself that comes across as strikingly honest and accurate, maintains that he doesn’t deserve to have his license threatened and possibly revoked because he supports and defends President Trump, Sidney Powell, the Bill of Rights, honest elections, whistleblowers, the fight against pedophilia and child sex trafficking, and takes a solid stand against corruption in high government officials. Committed to undertaking these noble causes, Wood defends his mental acuity, stating numerous times he will not undergo a mental evaluation to keep his license, declaring:

“Are you kidding me? If the State Bar of Georgia starts testing its members for mental health and alcoholism (I have not had a drink in over 8 years), 75% of the lawyers in Georgia will not be able to practice law. I will be one of the 25% still practicing. I have done nothing wrong. I have only exercised my right of free speech. I will not allow the State Bar to persecute me for doing so and thereby violate my Constitutional rights.”

On Mar. 23, Wood filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Wood v Frederick, et al) against the members of the Georgia Disciplinary Board in their individual and official capacities, seeking injunctive relief, stating they violated his constitutional rights by requesting he undergo a mental evaluation to maintain his law license without due process of law, and violated his right to privacy under the 1st, 9th, and 14th Amendments.

The Board of Directors of #FightBack, a Texas 501(c)(4) non-profit foundation is pleased to announce the election of Herschel Walker to its Board.

Wood’s complaint states that in every reported Georgia case in which an attorney has been required to submit a mental health evaluation, there was first a threshold determination based on complaints from the attorney’s clients which raised concerns of some significant impairment or disability that rendered the attorney unable to represent his clients’ interests. Wood alleges that in this case, not one of his current or former clients has complained to the Bar that he has shown any signs of “mental illness, cognitive impairment, alcohol abuse, or substance abuse,” which are the sole predicate factors stated in Rule 4-104 for determining an attorney’s need for a referral to an appropriate medical or mental health professional.

On Mar. 31, Wood filed another lawsuit asking the court to stop all proceedings by the State Bar of Georgia and its unsupported request for a mental evaluation as a condition to maintain his Georgia law license due to his outstanding constitutional case with the court. Wood argues the court can’t proceed with his disciplinary hearing until the federal court adjudicates his constitutional claims.

View attachment 259905

Wood has also filed a motion seeking to have the judge assigned to the case, the Honorable Timothy C. Batten, Jr., disqualified/recused because of bias due to the judge’s previous rulings against him on election lawsuits. In explaining his motion, Wood points out that the fifteen judges on the Northern District Court bench are randomly assigned after a lawsuit is filed in federal court, adding:

“… of the three prior 2020 election-related cases filed in Georgia, Judge Batten was the judge in two of them, which he dismissed for “lack of standing.” Judge Steven Grimberg tossed the other case out also for “lack of standing.” No decision was ever rendered on the merits of those cases. What are the odds that a computer would randomly select Judge Batten in three out of the four election cases?”

Wood’s Move to South Carolina to Rebuild the Republican Party
On Feb. 1, after buying property and spending some time there last year, Lin Wood changed his legal residence from Georgia to South Carolina. Wood loves his new home and the loyal Patriots that are now his neighbors, who he says have “opened up their arms and embraced him.” When several members of the South Carolina GOP approached him and asked if he would be willing to run for Chairman of the SC Republican Party, he took the idea seriously, noting that South Carolina Republicans are “tired of the Lindsay Grahams and the people in office for money and power.” Wood said he agreed to run for the SC GOP Chair position, despite the “false accusations and efforts to harm him” currently in play in GA.

According to Wood, he’s got a solid chance of taking the seat away from Drew McKissick, the current party Chair. Early signs suggest the battle between the two will be a familiar one to Wood, who recently indicated that his opponent had a hand in removing master thumb drives from Horry County’s data entry system as volunteers were working. Wood asserts that “counties run their counties.
Interference by the state has no place in this county process.”

There is no doubt that Wood, who is the Chairman of the Board and CEO of #FIGHTBACK, is on a fervent mission to restore and defend the constitutional rights of all Americans. His main goal is to rebuild and reestablish integrity within South Carolina’s GOP, hoping it will then serve as a model for other states around the nation to return to a truly representative form of government—not one corrupted by officials on the state and federal level who gain power by selling their influence. “Drain the Columbia SWAMP” is an objective listed on Wood’s new campaign website, where he shares:

“I will have some influence within the party to see who is going to be running the show as representatives from SC. It’s going to be people that believe in honest elections, people that are willing to fight, and people that want to go to Washington or the State Capitol and they want to honestly represent the views and goals of THE PEOPLE of the Republican Party no the officials of the Republican Party.”

The Fake News Got it Wrong About Sidney Powell

f

By MIKE HUCKABEE Published on April 6, 2021

Mike Huckabee
The last we heard about Sidney Powell, conservatives were scratching their heads about a story concerning her defense in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against her.

Case Dismissed?
According to news reports, Powell’s attorneys were embarking on a surprising defense: that what she’d said about Dominion Voting Systems was so outrageous, so downright crazy, that “no reasonable person” would believe it. And if people don’t believe what she’s been saying, then how can Dominion be damaged in any significant way? (Good question; I can almost hear the gavel pounding and the judge saying, “Case dismissed!”)

But when Trump supporters who distrusted the outcome in states with electronic voting systems, particularly Dominion’s, heard about this defense strategy, many had a hard time with it. Pundits accused Powell of shooting holes through her own theory of election cheating in order to avoid Dominion’s retaliation. I didn’t think she was doing that at all, and said as much. Considering that Dominion itself had called her claims “outrageous,” etc., she appeared to be turning that around on them. Little did we know the media had gotten the story wrong.

Powell is Back
Powell is back, in an interview on Rumble with Dinesh D’Souza. Please keep in mind that most media platforms will not allow any examination of the 2020 election, let alone an interview with Sidney Powell that specifically discusses Dominion Voting Systems, so the difficulty in finding her has nothing to do with her believability, only with the realities of censorship and “cancel culture” in 2021.

In Part 1, D’Souza introduces Powell as the attorney for Michael Flynn; recall that she completely upended the non-defense that Flynn had been receiving and helped him change his plea from guilty to not guilty, and hijinks ensued. We all stood up and cheered that Flynn, after being so abused by the FBI and Obama White House, was finally getting the mother-bear defense he deserved.

Recall that even when the Justice Department finally withdrew the case against him, Judge Emmet Sullivan wouldn’t let it go and weirdly continued to act as prosecutor. It took a pardon from President Trump to stick a fork in this overbaked case. My point: Sidney Powell is one powerhouse attorney. As D’Souza points out, she’s been the lead attorney in over 500 federal appeals, 350 of these as assistant U.S. attorney, in addition to her many other credentials. She’s well known for her book Licensed to Lie.

She does not back down, and she is no crackpot. So when my team and I accepted the odd story about her defense, it was because we assumed there must be a method to her madness.

The Stuff We’re “Not Supposed to Talk About”
D’Souza begins the interview by saying, “We’re gonna talk about all the stuff we’re ‘not supposed to talk about’” because “the digital moguls have decided that we can’t.” And then they do.

He repeats the argument on the left, notably from CNN’s Jake Tapper, that Powell’s defense against Dominion is “a big win for his [Tapper’s] side” because it means that what she’d been saying about Dominion was opinion, not fact. He asks her flat-out if she’s backtracking from what she’d said in the beginning about Dominion.

And she says that no, she isn’t. She is taking back nothing in her original claims.

The Data Does Not Lie
She says that news reports referring to her DC Circuit case have misquoted a statement from the decision or have taken it out of context. In other words — who would believe it? — reporters got it wrong.

It’s not what I said at all, she tells D’Souza. No, I firmly believe everything I said was true. It was based on thousands of pages of affidavits, expert reports, mathematical analysis that cannot be challenged, statistical work that cannot be challenged. I mean, the data does not lie.

Let me make it clear, I’m simply passing along what Sidney Powell is saying about her personal belief that there was widespread fraud. It is a fact that she believes this, and what I say here is a correction to a previous widely-reported story that falsely suggested she doesn’t. I do not have hard evidence that widespread fraud changed the outcome of the election, but Sidney Powell claims it’s there, and I’m quoting her.

She accuses NBC of reporting “a bald-faced lie” when they said she doesn’t believe what she had said about Dominion.

It’s a complete mischaracterization of what we said in our pleading and what I believe and know to be the truth. I’m not backin’ up one inch.
Everything I said about Dominion, I had a factual basis for, she continues. Any reasonable person looking at the evidence I’ve seen would have to come to the same conclusion.

And There’s More …
The interview is divided into four parts. [Interview previously posted above.]

ACTION ALERT: New Hampshire House to Vote for the “Windham Incident” Forensic Audit – Wednesday or Thursday

By Jim Hoft
Published April 7, 2021 at 9:55am

New Hampshire activist and Granite Grok contributor Ken Eyring sent out this action alert on Tuesday.

Via Granite Grok:

Please contact all NH State Reps TODAY (easy email address lists below) and respectfully ask that they support SB43. Your voice makes a difference!

This important Bill is currently part of the House Consent Calendar, which is usually passed by a voice vote without incident along with all of the other Bills on the Consent Calendar. But any State Representative is entitled to pull a Bill from the Consent Calendar and ask for it to be voted on separately. If that happens, them amendments could also be proposed and voted on and it could get messy… so as a measure of caution, it is important to let our State Representatives know that we want them to support SB43.
Related: What The Heck Happened In Windham’s November Election? (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)

Why is SB43 Important?


Senate Bill SB43 mandates an audit of Windham’s disturbing November 3, 2020 general election results that produced a massive discrepancy between the machine vote tally for the State Rep race on election day and a hand recount 9 days later. The recount showed a difference of 1,363 votes for the State Rep race being shifted with only 10,006 ballots were cast. That is a big discrepancy – and we need to know why!

Senator Bob Giuda spearheaded a herculean effort to push SB43 through the Senate with a 24-0 vote in February because the AG’s office refused to perform an investigation into the disturbing results. The Bill was subsequently strengthened via a house amendment and passed by the House Election Law Committee 20-0. It will now be voted on by the full house tomorrow or Thursday.

The passage of SB43 into law is critical to ensure election integrity is verified not only in Windham, but across NH – because the same machines are used to count 85% of all votes in NH.

What You Can Do!

DC Correctional Officers Brutally Beat Jan. 6 US Capitol Protester, Zip-Tie His Hands, Fracture His Skull, Blind Him in One Eye

By Jim Hoft
Published April 6, 2021 at 8:53pm

Ryan Samsel was leading the charge against Capitol Hill Police on January 6 protests.

Samsel pushed the flimsy bike racks and stormed the US Capitol. Samsel reportedly injured a female police officer.

Since his arrest, Ryan Samsel has been held in Washington DC. On March 21, he was awakened by correctional officers, his hands zip-tied, then walked to an unoccupied cell and brutally beaten by the officers. Then Ryan Samsel lost an eye in the beating.

This will not make any headlines.


Politico reported:

For weeks, Capitol riot defendants being held in Washington have complained that they are locked in their cells with virtually no human contact for 23 hours a day. But a startling, graphic account offered publicly in court on Tuesday by one such inmate, Ronald Sandlin, went further: alleging that guards have subjected those charged in the Jan. 6 events to violence, threats and verbal harassment.

“Myself and others involved in the Jan. 6 incident are scared for their lives, not from each other but from correctional officers,” Sandlin said during a bail hearing conducted by video before U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich. “I don’t understand how this is remotely acceptable,” he added, saying he was being subjected to “mental torture.”

In an unusual direct plea to the judge, Sandlin said another Capitol riot defendant, Ryan Samsel, “was severely beaten by correctional officers, [is now] blind in one eye, has a skull fracture and detached retina.”


Sandlin also described racial tension between minority guards and the largely white defendants, some of whom have been publicly accused of membership in or association with white supremacist groups.

Facts First? CNN Host Don Lemon Insists Biden "Misspoke" On Georgia Election Law... Repeatedly

WEDNESDAY, APR 07, 2021 - 11:27 AM
Authored by Jonathan Turley,

The White House is not the only outfit struggling to explain the false statements repeatedly made by President Joe Biden about Georgia’s election law.

Biden’s false claims have been widely refuted, including by the Washington Post. Yet, CNN’s host Don Lemon mocked those raising the false statements and insisted that Biden merely misspoke. The problem is that he repeated the false claims after they were refuted and White House Press Secretary Jan Psaki has insisted that Biden was speaking truthfully in the Biden version of “alternative facts.”

What was also not explained on CNN was how the Georgia law is “Jim Crow on steroids” if these two objections are untrue and states like New York and Delaware (and Colorado where the MLB is sending the All-Star game) have stricter provisions.

CNN ran the slogan “Facts First” throughout the Trump Administration, but it seems that facts are more fluid in 2021.

Lemon lashed out at critics of Biden as “incredibly dishonest and openly partisan” for his statements on the election law. Lemon mocked those raising the issue:

“Get this, Republicans have a new talking point, trying to turn Trump’s big lie onto Joe Biden, saying Joe Biden is lying about what’s in Georgia’s new voting law that restricts ballot access. New GOP talking point: Trying to turn Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ on to Biden for misspeaking about Georgia’s voting law.”

The problem is that Biden and the White House have continued to assert the statements as true.

During an interview on ESPN, Biden repeated his claim that the law is “Jim Crow on steroids” and added: “Imagine passing a law saying you cannot provide water or food for someone standing in line to vote, can’t do that? C’mon! Or you’re going to close a polling place at 5 o’clock when working people just get off?”

As we previously discussed, it is hard to “imagine” because it is not true and the White House knows that it is not true. I will not repeat the clearly false claim about closing polling places early. As the Washington Post noted, “the net effect [of the Georgia law] is … to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.”

Even CNN eventually called out the claims as untrue.

CNN’s fact-checker Daniel Dale noted that Biden’s statement “is misleading for two reasons. First, the new law does not change Georgia’s Election Day voting hours, which still end at 7 p.m. Second, while the law does set a default end time of 5 p.m. for early voting on weekdays and on Saturdays, counties were already allowed to end early voting at 5 p.m. under the previous law. The new law gives counties the option to offer early voting as late as 7 p.m. if they want to.”

Biden and the White House have also pushed the claim that Georgia will not let voters receive water at polling places, which is demonstrably untrue. The law does not prevent people from giving water to those standing in line. The law allows “self-service water from an unattended receptacle” for voters waiting in line. It also allows anyone to give water or food to any voters outside of limited area around the polling place. The change in the language followed complaints in the last elections that campaigns were circumventing the rules by distributing water and food within the limited area. It makes no sense to bar people from politicking in the area if they can display the same political identifications in approaching people in line for the purpose of giving away free food or drink.

Instead, it allows for non-partisan distribution of water in these receptacles. If the concern is truly for the waiting voters, it should not matter that the water is distributed without a political affiliation. States like New York ban any water or item worth more than a dollar. Period.

It is hard to maintain that Biden misspoke repeatedly when his Press Secretary is still trying to claim that he spoke truthfully. The first evidence that Biden misspoke could be Biden correcting his statements and saying that the Georgia law actually expands the guaranteed hours for voting and that voters can be given water while standing in line from non-political self-service bins.

Moreover, the claims on the hours and water were the primary reasons cited for claiming that the law was worse than the Jim Crow laws — laws that mandated racial segregation. The law does mandate voter identification but so do many “blue” states like Colorado. New polling shows that, even after this campaign, Americans continue to overwhelmingly support such mandatory identification rules with almost 75 percent in favor of such rules. Indeed, over 50 percent of Democrats support such voter identification rules. Some polling shows 63 percent of Democrats supporting such mandatory rules.

So if Biden misspoke about the hour and water changes, what in the law is worst than Jim Crow? If it is the voter identification, then blue states like Colorado are equally guilty as are most Democrats who support such provisions.

These issues have been rallying cries for seeking the unprecedented federalization of elections, including a preemption of state voter identification rules. The campaign was successful in prompting companies like Delta and United Airlines (which require photo identification to fly) to condemn the law as well as the MLB (which requires photo identification to enter the game).

There are legitimate issues to debate on these election laws. Let’s debate them but, as CNN once said, “Facts First.”

Georgia Secretary of State Refers 3 Counties for Investigation over Election

Georgia Secretary of State Refers 3 Counties for Investigation for Violating Absentee Ballot Regulations

HANNAH BLEAU7 Apr 2021114

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) has referred three counties for investigation for violating absentee ballot regulations, he announced Wednesday.

Raffensperger referred Coffee, Grady, and Taylor counties for investigation after the three Peach State counties “failed to do their absentee ballot transfer forms in violation of Georgia Rules and Regulations,” per a release of the announcement.

Absentee ballot drop boxes were permitted last year via an emergency rule, stemming from adjustments prompted by the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.
“The emergency rule required counties with drop boxes to fill out ballot transfer forms that included the date, time, location, and number of ballots in the drop boxes whenever election officials collected ballots from the drop box,” the release explained, noting 123 counties utilized such absentee ballot drop boxes for the November election. Of those, 120 followed the rules, filling out and retaining the transfer forms. Coffee, Grady, and Taylor, however, failed to do so.

“Since day one, I have made securing Georgia’s election a top priority and I have not stopped working since then,” Raffensperger said in a statement, noting that the “overwhelming majority of counties did what they were supposed to.”

“This demonstrates that new steps need to be taken to fully secure our elections. Securing elections is work that is never truly finished,” he added.

According to the release, the three counties account for less than half a percent of the absentee ballots cast in the November election.

Raffensperger has remained a polarizing figure since the November election as he denied the existence of “systematic fraud” occurring in his state, which ultimately fell in Joe Biden’s column by a razor-thin margin — 49.5 percent to former President Trump’s 49.2 percent.

“We’ve never found systemic fraud, not enough to overturn the election,” he said during a December appearance on ABC’s This Week.

“We have over 250 cases right now. We reached out to the governor and asked for additional manpower resources that gives us additional reach to finish up these investigations quickly, but right now, we don’t see anything that would overturn the will of the people here, Georgia,” the secretary of state continued.

“I’m a Republican. I vote for Republicans. So I wish them well. The job of the Republican Party is to raise money and turn out the vote. My job as secretary of state is to make sure we have honest and fair elections,” he added. “It’s as simple as that, and integrity matters.”

Raffensperger has since emerged as a fierce defender of the state’s recently signed election integrity law, which Democrats have falsely characterized as suppressive, deeming their narratives “lazy, biased, and political as they are demonstrably wrong.”

Retired Lt. Gen. Honore calls 'BS' on Capitol Police, rioters, in latest commentaries

Retired Lt. Gen. Honore calls 'BS' on Capitol Police, rioters, in latest commentaries
The former Army three-star general has continued his run of spirited observations.

By Susan Katz Keating
Updated: April 7, 2021 - 9:48am

Within a day of describing a security assessment from the U.S. Capitol Police union chief as "BS," retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honore on Tuesday said that rioters breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 after being told "a little BS about what they want to hear."

Honore made his most recent comments on April 6 while he appeared on a video panel to address extremism in the U.S. armed forces and police agencies. Honore, who in January was appointed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to lead a task force to examine security at the Capitol, deviated from the panel's topic, and presented his views on what caused the Jan. 6 breach.

The former Army three-star general said that the attack was the result of "propaganda" that gave people "a little BS about what they want to hear."

"I think we've been had by a little propaganda and a superb use of information operation, which is an offensive weapon to shape people's minds," Honore said during the panel organized by the Atlantic Council. "And again, just tell them a little BS about what they want to hear, a sliver of truth and have them act on it."

The comments followed a Monday press appearance wherein Honore seemingly both contradicted and agreed with a union official regarding the state of the Capitol Police.

Over the Easter weekend, Capitol Police union chief Gus Papathanasiou said that the department has 233 fewer officers than the allotted 2,000-member force.

"We are struggling to meet existing mission requirements even with the officers working massive amounts of forced overtime," Papathanasiou said in a statement. "In the next 3-5 years we have another 500 officers who will be eligible to retire. Many of these officers could put in their retirement papers tomorrow."

Honore on Monday dismissed the union chief's comments, while also seeming to support them.

"That's BS," Honore said April 5 on CNN. "The Capitol Police can meet the mission. The former Army officer noted that he understands the "enthusiasm" to hire more officers, but the union chief's claim is an "overstatement."

Honore also said, however, that his task force report addressed the staffing issue.

"We made the recommendation that they need to get the funding to recruit and hire the 233 officers they are short," Honore said. "We made a recommendation to hire another additional 800 officers. Those recommendations are there, it's up to Congress to take action."

While Honore's most recent comments are notable for their contradictions and use of the term "BS," military observers who know the longtime infantry officer privately noted that the comments are far from being "full Honore."

Earlier this year, Honore drew ire from Republicans, particularly from Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, after critiquing police. The outspoken retired general, known for his role during Hurricane Katrina, sounded off in a tweet against Hawley.

"This little piece of s--- with his @Yale law degree should be run out of DC and Disbarred ASAP," Honore reportedly wrote in a now-deleted tweet.

In another tweet that still appears on his feed, Honore wrote of Colorado Republican and gun rights activist Rep. Lauren Boebert: "Put Her Stupid A-- on the No Fly List."

Honore now frequently gives seminars and speeches to private clients. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Just the News.

Texas Rep’s Gohmert and Fallon Destroy Woke Fascism in Newsmax Interview

by Liberty Loft News
April 7, 2021




Charlotte, NC — Rep’s Louie Gohmert and Pat Fallon both appeared in an interview together on Newsmax where they were discussing the recent voter ID moves by various states. One subject specifically discussed was the decision by Major League Baseball to move the all-start game from Georgia to Colorado.

Rep. Gohmert was asked about the push back on the Texas law that has been proposed, similar to that of Texas. He said that the organizations that spoke out against the law were either racist to the max or that there was no issue with the law based on how those businesses operate. He said there was nothing racist about the bills, but there was one additional professional sport that he would not watch this year.

After the Newsmax host shared how expansive the Georgia law was in expanding access to voting compared to New York and New Jersey, Rep. Fowler said that what was being said reminded him of the quote in hoping the alligator would eat you last. He spoke about how Republicans and conservatives were the ones defending corporations from the woke agenda and that they were stabbing them in the back.

Fowler did not hide his feelings as he continued his comments. He said that this was simply woke fascism that cannot be tolerated. He said the law does not make it more difficult to vote, but that it makes it more difficult to cheat.

Gohmert continued saying that these major sports were cutting off their noses despite their face. He said that they were destroying their fan base as the woke fascists come after them. Gohmert said that he would like to see someone get into talk to the CEO of Dell Computers without a photo ID. That the arguments that the company is making is simply ridiculous.

What the two Texas Representatives said is entirely true. These businesses are simply out of touch with what is taking place in American culture. They want to overlook their own ID rules, while insisting that ID rules are racist. You can see the full comments in the video below.

1,000 'woke' companies unite against election-integrity laws!

Civic Alliance includes McDonalds, Amazon, Verizon, Microsoft, PayPal, Uber

The opposition of major corporations such as Coca-Cola and Delta to a Georgia election law has drawn attention to an alliance of more than 1,000 companies that, in effect, have identified themselves as opponents of voting integrity.

The Civic Alliance boasts on its website that its membership has grown to 1,119 companies that employee more than 5 million people.



"As a coalition of businesses, we use our voice, our brand, and our reach to strengthen our democracy. We support safe, accessible, and trusted elections, and we inspire our employees and customers to participate in civic life," the alliance says.

However, the objective of making elections "accessible" translates to opposition to laws such as Georgia's that seek to ensure that every vote represents a legitimate voter and that voters are not disenfranchised.

Amid the controvesy over Georgia's law, the Civic Alliance issued a letter last Friday condemning any effort to "restrict" ballot access, signed by 200 companies, including Salesforce, ViacomCBS and The Estée Lauder Companies.
"Companies have their fingers on the pulse of what's going on with their consumers and employees, and this is a priority for folks and so companies are making it a priority for themselves," said Mike Ward, co-founder of the Civic Alliance, NBC News reported.



The letter said in part, "We stand in solidarity with voters – and with the Black executives and leaders at the helm of this movement – in our nonpartisan commitment to equality and democracy."

The statement said there are "hundreds of bills threatening to make voting more difficult in dozens of states nationwide."



The alliance's membership reads like a who's who of corporate America, featuring Amazon, Verizon, McDonalds, Microsoft, PayPal, Uber, Airbnb, Best Buy, Capitol One, Dow, Hewlett Packard, Macy's, Starbucks, United Airlines, Under Armour and Pepsico.

See the Civic Alliance's list of 1,119 member companies.
Civic Alliance says it's "ambitious goal is 80 percent voter turnout."

"We may have a long way to go, but by working together, we will create a culture where civics matter and participation is a habit, it says.

The alliance asks companies that become members to agree to a pledge:

We believe the strength of the United States lies in its people, each with the power and the potential to shape the future of our country.
Together, our companies have the platform and the reach to encourage every American to speak up, achieving the promise of their participation.


Like all Americans, our companies have unique values. Yet we are united in envisioning a future where everyone is engaged in civics, starting with voting in every election.

'False narrative'
WND reported Monday a website called Stop Corporate Tyranny has been launched by a center-right coalition that aims to help citizens combat "the Left’s weaponization of corporate America against traditional beliefs and values."

The site offers activism campaigns in which citizens can engage. One of the latest responds to the corporations headquartered in Georgia that are opposing the election law.

After condemnation of the law by the CEO of Delta Air Lines, the Coca-Cola Company, President Biden and others, Major League Baseball decided Friday to withdraw the All-Star Game from Atlanta.

But Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott fought back Monday, announcing he has declined to throw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers' home opener. Abbott said he won't take part in any Major League Baseball events, and Texas won't host the All-Star Game.

"Major League Baseball adopted what has turned out to be a false narrative about the election law reforms in Georgia, and, based on that false narrative, moved the MLB All-Star game from Atlanta," he said.

On Friday, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement announcing the withdrawal of the All-Star Game from Atlanta that the league's "values" are at stake, charging the Georgia law discriminates against minorities.

The Georgia law requires proof of identification but it also expands the number of early voting days, and it continues to allow voters to cast absentee ballots without an excuse. The law allows observation of ballot counting and prohibits ballot harvesting.

Make Georgia like Delaware
Biden continues to make false claims about the Georgia law, calling it "Jim Crow on steroids," even after earning the maximum four "Pinocchios" from the Washington Post fact-checker. In response, a Georgia state lawmaker, noting that laws in the president's home state of Delaware are more protective of election integrity than Georgia's, has proposed legislation.

State Republican Rep. Wes Cantrell, PJ Media reported, said he's calling his bill The President Joe Biden Jim Crow On Steroids Voter Act.

He said it will have five key features "to make us like Delaware."

"Instead of having up to 19 days of early voting like we have here in Georgia, we’re going to have exactly zero early voting days, because that’s how they do it in Delaware," Cantrell said. "Instead of having no-excuse absentee voting, like we have here in Georgia, we're going to make you have an excuse to have an absentee ballot, and that excuse will be you’re either sick or you’re disabled, because that’s how they do it in Delaware.

"Instead of having secure drop-boxes where you can place your absentee ballot in one of those drop-boxes for security’s sake, we’re going to provide you with exactly zero drop-boxes, because that’s how they do it in Delaware," he said.

"And instead of being able to get food or drink from anyone outside of the 150-foot buffer zone while you’re voting, or being able to be provided water inside the 150-foot buffer area, we’re going to make it illegal for you to receive anything of value at any point while you’re standing in line to vote, because that’s how they do it in Delaware," the lawmaker said.

'What Democrats truly think about us'
Many Democrats contend requiring voter ID is racist, insisting such laws suppress the vote among minorities.

However, a Rasmussen national survey last month found that 69% of likely black voters and 75% overall believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver's license before being allowed to vote.
Candace Owens, a black conservative activist and author, said Monday that any corporation "telling you that Voter ID laws are racist is run by white supremacists."

"Black people know how to get ID," she wrote on Twitter, with the hashtags #coke and #delta.

"Pretending we are too stupid to figure out how to get to the DMV is an insult and speaks volumes about what Democrats truly think about us."

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: ‘Protect Democracy Project’ – The Group Threatening Arizona Auditors Is Connected to Obama, Soros, China and Biden’s DOJ

By Joe Hoft
Published April 7, 2021 at 3:15pm

The corruption from the Obama years is not over. It’s just beginning. The so-called “Non-For-Profit” group, the Protect Democracy Project, is now involving itself in the Arizona Senate’s audit of Maricopa County. They are connected to Obama, Soros, China, and Biden’s DOJ, and are fighting to prevent an accurate count of the valid votes in the county.

Yesterday we reported that some legal firms joined the Not-For-Profit Protect Democracy Project in threatening the auditors selected in Arizona by the Senate to audit the 2020 Election results of Maricopa County.

BREAKING: Law Firms Now Threatening to Sue the Auditors Selected by the Arizona Senate Who Just Want to Determine the Accuracy of the Election Results in Maricopa County

We noted:

In a letter emailed Tuesday to the Senate’s hired auditors, attorneys for the non-profit voting-rights group Protect Democracy and three Phoenix firms warn that the auditors’ plan to knock on doors to search for voters likely violates state and federal law.

Per an article from the National Pulse the Protect Democracy Project is connected to all sorts of crooked players, including the Chinese:

…President Obama’s former associate White House Counsel, Ian Bassin, who heads the anti-Trump litigation efforts Protect Democracy Project and United to Protect Democracy.

Bassin previously headed the far-left Avaaz network, founded in turn by the leftist MoveOn.org group, as well as the Truman National Security Project, which has featured lead Joe Biden policy advisor Jake Sullivan and Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden on its board.

Despite claims of being non- or bi-partisan, The National Pulse exposed the group as a host of NeverTrump activists, partnered with [George Soros] Open Society Foundation staffers, and partnered in turn with Chinese Communist Party officials.

Bassan was not the only Obama operative in this ‘NFP’. Also, Emily Loeb worked in the Obama White House and now she’s been given a top job at the DOJ. We are unable to find information as to whether Loeb still is working for the Protect Democracy Project. Below is from the 2019 Protect Demacracy Project’s tax filing:

Think about this. An appointee of the Democratic Biden administration, serving in a senior position in his DOJ, is (or was until recently?) an executive committee member of the nonprofit which is attempting to sabotage the Arizona Senate’s attempt to simply determine the accuracy of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, by threatening the auditors hired by the Arizona Senate to conduct the audit.

The Protect Democracy Project was one of the 24 powerful, progressive and activist nonprofits singled out in the February 4, 2021 Time article, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” which The Thinking Conservative called “The Real Conspiracy to Steal the 2020 Election and Screw the American People.”

Ian Bassin, founder of the Protect Democracy Project, was quoted in that Time article:

Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated,’ says Ian Bassin, co-founder of Protect Democracy…”

The ‘proper’ outcome of the election was apparently not the legitimate outcome. If it was, these culprits wouldn’t be attempting to stop the valid and accurate recount in Maricopa County.

Democrat Georgia Lawmaker Who Was Arrested For Disrupting Governor Kemp’s Election Bill Signing Won’t be Prosecuted

Two weeks ago Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed a sweeping bill that overhauls his state’s election laws that includes new restrictions on mail-in voting.

The legislation was pushed through Georgia’s House and Senate after Kemp and the crooked Secretary of State handed Georgia over to the Democrats in TWO separate elections.

One Georgia state lawmaker became furious with Governor Kemp for signing new election laws that she began knocking on Kemp’s door where he was live-streaming his announcement.

Rep. Park Cannon (D-Atlanta) was forcibly removed, dragged through the Capitol and arrested by Georgia State Troopers.

Cannon was charged with obstruction of law enforcement and disrupting General Assembly sessions, according to the Georgia State Patrol.
On Wednesday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced that Ms. Cannon will not be charged.

ABC News reported that after reviewing video evidence, interviewing witnesses and Capitol Police, Willis decided to “close this matter” and will not present the case to a grand jury.

“While some of Representative Cannon’s colleagues and the police officers involved may have found her behavior annoying, such sentiment does not justify a presentment to a grand jury of the allegations in the arrest warrants or any other felony charges,” the statement said.

There is a two-tiered justice system in the US: One for Democrats and one for conservatives.

FBI agents have conducted pre-dawn raids, harassed and jailed conservatives who entered the US Capitol on January 6, but Cannon, a Democrat, walks free.

Ashli Babbit, a 14-year veteran from San Diego who served 4 tours with the US Air Force as a high-level security officer was killed on January 6.

Ashli Babbit, who was unarmed at the time, was shot through a window on a closed door by an officer.

Babbit appeared to be standing behind a group of people who were attempting to gain entry into the chamber.

Police had barricaded the doors and were attempting to keep the patriot protesters out — and then drew their weapons.

They opened fired and shot Ashli in the neck.

She was wheeled out of the Capital in a stretcher covered in blood and later pronounced dead.

We still don’t know who killed Ashli Babbitt and we still haven’t seen Sicknick’s autopsy.

Ashli Babbitt officially ruled a homicide death; the only one so far from the U.S. Capitol riots.
And officials are still hiding the name of the shooter.

Ashli Babbitt’s death was ruled a homicide.

And who will be charged?

Maybe that John Earl Sullivan dude (Jayden-x) - the one who worked in concert with a photographer (and waved Babbitt and her friends in through the glass door?) He actually saw and commented upon the armed guard before Ashli took the next step.

Today in Maricopa County, AZ, law firms aligned with the Democrat Party coup orchestrated last November threatened to sue the auditors planning to go door-to-door in AZ to verify who voted and who didn’t.

Think about that.

Why on God’s green Earth would you threaten to sue over such a thing? The only answer is you don’t want anyone to know about the massive election fraud that installed illegitimate Joe Biden in The White House.

In a letter emailed Tuesday to the Senate’s hired auditors, attorneys for the non-profit voting-rights group Protect Democracy and three Phoenix firms warn that the auditors’ plan to knock on doors to search for voters likely violates state and federal law, wrote The Gateway Pundit.

The lawyers say lawsuits could follow if the audit proceeds as planned.

In Georgia, Fulton County has played delaying tactic games as well; there is a hearing on April 13th to decide how the forensic audit of ballots at ground zero of election fraud in the Peach State moves forward. We expect more shenanigans there too.

In short, along with actions in other states where the election fraud took place, the legitimacy of the Biden regime is about to be revealed, in a major way.
The criminals cannot let this stand. They cannot let the ballots be analyzed. Their criminal house of cards will collapse.

We expect extreme measures from the dark side.

However, the public is watching. The Deplorables are winning the public relations war.

Arizona Should Sue the Far-Left 'Protect Democracy Project' for Misrepresenting Itself and Claiming It's Not Political Which Doesn't Appear to Be the Case | The Gateway Pundit | by Joe Hoft

The state of Arizona should say “Enough!” Far left “Protect Democracy Project” appears to be masquerading as a non-political and non-biased not-for-profit but looks more like another far-left entity taking advantage of the not-for-profit status to prevent paying its fair share in tax dollars.

Arizona Should Sue the Far-Left ‘Protect Democracy Project’ for Misrepresenting Itself and Claiming It’s Not Political Which Doesn’t Appear to Be the Case

The state of Arizona should say “Enough!” Far left “Protect Democracy Project” appears to be masquerading as a non-political and non-biased not-for-profit but looks more like another far-left entity taking advantage of the not-for-profit status to prevent paying its fair share in tax dollars.

We mentioned yesterday that the corruption from the Obama years is not over. It’s just beginning. The so-called “Non-For-Profit” group, the Protect Democracy Project, is now involving itself in the Arizona Senate’s audit of Maricopa County. They are connected to Obama, Soros, China, and Biden’s DOJ, and are fighting to prevent an accurate count of the valid votes in the county.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: ‘Protect Democracy Project’ – The Group Threatening Arizona Auditors Is Connected to Obama, Soros, China and Biden’s DOJ

The problem with the Protect Democracy Project is that it, like so many other far-left outfits, claim a not-for-profit status but there are good arguments that this is just not the case.

Now the nonprofit Project Democracy Project, along with teams of lawyers including Hillary Clinton’s Perkins Coie, sent threatening letters to the Maricopa County ballot auditors chosen by the Arizona State Senate. Is this not interfering with official acts?

The Protect Democracy Project was one of the 24 powerful, progressive and activist nonprofits singled out in the February 4, 2021, Time article, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” which The Thinking Conservative called “The Real Conspiracy to Steal the 2020 Election and Screw the American People.”

Ian Bassin, founder of the Protect Democracy Project, who served as associate White House counsel under the Obama administration from 2009-2011, and his nonprofits are continuing their vicious, partisan activism and are, in fact, likely guilty of “interfering in the proper outcome of the election” by sending threatening letters to the auditors selected by the Arizona Senate to audit the outcome of the Maricopa County 2020 election. Bassin’s nonprofit, and the large team of lawyers it has engaged – including Hillary Clinton’s Perkins Coie, may now be crossing into the area of election interference.

Conservapedia shares this about the Protect Democracy Project:

[The Protect Democracy Project] was born in ‘early 2017’ by ‘a group of former high-level executive branch officials who served in the White House Counsel’s Office and upper echelons of the Department of Justice” from the Obama administration. Among the cohort are high-ranking officials such as Special Assistant to the President and Associate White House Counsel Michael Gottlieb, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, and Senior Deputy Director of Operations and Director for Finance Beau Wright. Advisors to the group include a bevy of vocal Trump critics such as failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin, NYT reporter Anne Applebaum, and Jerry Taylor, President of the Niskanen Center, which has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros’s Open Society Institute. PDP’s mission statement vows that President Trump ‘must be blunted.'”

The Protect Democracy Project has the well-used, typical nonprofit corporate structure which the Democrats have utilized for decades, the marriage of a 501(c)(3) with a 501(c)(4). Linking these two corporate entities serves to allow for the obscuring of the names of donors and donor amounts; obscuring the fact that political activism and electioneering and election influencing is being conducted utilizing “charitable” dollars, which must remain apolitical; and keeping secret how much donor money, exactly, is actually going into partisan political activism and electioneering.

In other words, a 501(c)(3) – 501(c)(4) corporate platform is designed as what appears to be a sneaky, well-oiled, nonprofit political money-laundering scheme.

The two nonprofit arms, in this case, are the 501(c)(3) – Protect Democracy Project, and the 501(c)(4) – United to Protect Democracy (UPD). 501(c)(3)’s, doing apolitical charitable work, are empowered by the IRS to grant tax exemptions to their donors. This benefits Democrat-progressive millionaires and billionaires who can park money there and get a tax advantage. Then, the (c)(3) can turn around and shift monies from the (c)(3) books to the (c)(4) books – (c)(4)’s (which can not give donors tax exemption) being allowed to do political activism by the IRS. Those funds can then be secretly utilized for the most partisan, sneaky, underhanded political gambits you can imagine.

The donors, wealthy Democrat-progressive millionaires and billionaires, get the best of both worlds: tax exemption with their donor gift and the implementation of their dark and secretive, partisan “grassroots, social justice” political goals.
Here’s how they describe their ethical donation process on their website:

“Please note this contribution to United to Protect Democracy, a 501(c)(4) organization, will support advocacy work to protect democracy, and is not tax deductible. If you would like to make a donation to Protect Democracy Project, our partner 501(c)(3) organization, for educational work about protecting democracy.”

The people of Arizona and the state Senate of Arizona should immediately demand that this nonprofit and its legal henchmen be forced to cease their activities in the state – be “defeated” in their attempts to “interfere with the proper outcome of the election,” if need be through a court order.

Arizonians have a right to a free and fair election and an audit to ensure this is the case.

BREAKING UPDATE: New Hampshire Senate Joins House – Passes SB43 to Mandate an Audit of Windham’s Fradulent 2020 Election Results – Off to Governor to Sign!

UPDATE— This is breaking news — via Ken Eyring at Granite Grok.

In a HUGE WIN for We, the People, and for New Hampshire election integrity, the NH Senate voted 24-0 just minutes ago to concur with the House amended version of SB43. This Bill was championed by Senator Bob Giuda and will validate election integrity in our state by mandating a forensic audit on Windham’s 11/3/20 general election ballots and voting machines as configured on November 3, 2020.


The forensic audit will determine the huge discrepancy between the election day results and subsequent recount of Windham’s November 3, 2020 State Rep. race where a difference of 1,363 total votes from just 10,006 ballots was uncovered.

New Hampshire lawmakers were scheduled to vote on the Windham Amendment SB43 this week.

And now it has passed the New Hampshire House and Senate.

Via Granite Grok:
Why is SB43 Important?

Senate Bill SB43 mandates an audit of Windham’s disturbing November 3, 2020 general election results that produced a massive discrepancy between the machine vote tally for the State Rep race on election day and a hand recount 9 days later. The recount showed a difference of 1,363 votes for the State Rep race being shifted with only 10,006 ballots were cast. That is a big discrepancy – and we need to know why!

Senator Bob Giuda spearheaded a herculean effort to push SB43 through the Senate with a 24-0 vote in February because the AG’s office refused to perform an investigation into the disturbing results. The Bill was subsequently strengthened via a house amendment and passed by the House Election Law Committee 20-0. It will now be voted on by the full house tomorrow or Thursday.

The passage of SB43 into law is critical to ensure election integrity is verified not only in Windham, but across NH – because the same machines are used to count 85% of all votes in NH.

On Thursday morning we received word from GOP official Dave Strang that the bill passed through the New Hampshire House.

Hi Jim:
Just a quick FYI email. SB43, the NH bill that will compel the AG and Sec. of State to investigate the Windham voting anomaly, passed the House of Reps today by virtue of being on the consent calendar.” This is where bills that are expected to pass without opposition go. Because this bill was modified by the House Election Law Committee. (where stronger language was inserted), it must be revoted on in the NH Senate. That could happen as early as tomorrow. I expect it will pass the Senate without opposition (no one in the NH Legislature has voted against this bill yet) and conceivably it could be on the Governor’s desk as early as tomorrow evening. Feel free to do a follow up to your article on the website today with this info included.

Stay tuned,
Dave Strang

More from Dave — Once signed, the clock starts ticking. It requires the forensic audit of the machines and ballots within 45 days of passage of the bill (signature by the Governor).

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms Issues Administrative Order Refuting Georgia’s New Election Integrity Law

Here we go again. In the advent of Obama came sanctuary cities and other laws which conflicted with federal law. As if our law enforcement officers don’t have enough challenges doing their jobs. Now Obama radicals are creating bogus city administrative orders in an attempt to not have to comply with state laws created to protect elections.

The 2020 Presidential Election was stolen in Georgia. We can say this confidently since to this day there are over 400,000 absentee ballots that were counted in the 2020 election (mostly for Joe Biden) that lack the legally required chain of custody documentation required by law:

UPDATE: Four Months After the 2020 Election in Georgia, Over 400,000 Absentee Ballots are Missing Legally Required Chain of Custody Documentation, Yet Biden Was Given the State by 12,000 Votes

Georgia ‘Republican’ Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger counted all these ballots in the election because he needed them so he could give the Georgia election to Biden by 10,000 votes. Clearly, the results in Georgia were not valid.

So the state created a new law a week ago to protect Americans from similar corrupt results in the future (of course Raffensperger had no right to certify the 400,000 ballots which were invalid in 2020 in the first place).

VIDEO ANALYSIS: Georgia Voter Integrity Bill Is HUGE WIN for Rule of Law and Monstrous Blow to Democrat Election Fraud

The Democrats and other corrupt politicians don’t want fair elections. They want to be able to fill out and hand in as many fraudulent ballots as they can so they can steal elections. So in response to the state’s new voter election law, the Democrats in Atlanta decided to create their own law for their elections.

Trending politics is reporting:

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms issued an Administrative Order on Tuesday that pushes back against Georgia’s new election integrity law.

Mayor Bottoms’ order states that the election integrity measures signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp make changes that “include empowering officials to take over local election boards, limiting the use of ballot drop boxes, and imposing new voter identification requirements and limitations for the use of absentee ballots.”

The mayor also argues that these “voting restrictions will disproportionately impact residents in cities and counties with high density populations, including the City of Atlanta, and will impose barriers to their ability to vote.”

Two contentious aspects of the Georgia election integrity law are the use of ballot “drop boxes” and unsolicitied mail-in ballots.

“Voting drop boxes can only be located inside early voting locations and available during voting hours under Georgia’s new law,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. “Georgians will be required to provide a driver’s license number, state ID number or other documentation when requesting an absentee ballot. Voters will have to request absentee ballots at least 11 days before election day.

Additionally, local governments will be prohibited from mailing unsolicited absentee ballot application forms.”

All of these new election requirements make sense if you want to have free and fair elections. But let’s face it. Democrats and some other politicians don’t want that.

Ga. election chief Raffensperger in 'coverup mode,' says plaintiff in Fulton Co. vote fraud suit

Ga. election chief Raffensperger in 'coverup mode,' says plaintiff in Fulton Co. vote fraud suit

"If he's trying to intimidate us, it won't work," said Voter GA co-founder Garland Favorito.

An attempt by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to block physical inspection of ballots cast in Fulton County, Ga. in the November presidential election is part of an election fraud "coverup," voting integrity activist Garland Favorito charged Tuesday in an interview with Just the News.

In December 2020, Favorito's organization Voter GA filed a suit against the then-chairperson of the Fulton County Board of Elections based on a sudden, implausible spike of 20,000 votes in favor of Joe Biden on election night, along with sworn testimony from hand count auditors who say they saw batches of counterfeit ballots during the county's post-election hand recount. The witnesses cite uncreased ballots, different paper stock, and ballots marked with toner instead of writing implements as reasons for their suspicions.

File
petition-for-declaratory-and-injunctive-relief-stamped.pdf

Based on the affidavits and other evidence, the judge in the case found probable cause to conditionally unseal the county's ballots for a forensic audit. Voter GA was given until March 25 to submit a plan to the judge detailing what the audit would look like — which experts they were going to use, where the audit would take place, etc.

Last week, Raffensperger, who is not a party to the suit, filed an amicus brief in an attempt to block the effort to unseal and examine the ballots. a Republican who has resisted demands by former President Donald Trump and others to investigate claims of vote-counting mischief in the state's 2020 presidential vote,

In the months following the November election, Raffensperger unbendingly defended the validity of the ballots cast in Georgia. In the process, he emerged as a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, who repeatedly told Raffensperger that if his office scrutinized the ballots in Fulton County, they would find election cheating.

Favorito believes Raffensperger filed his amicus brief because Trump is right, and the secretary of state has something to hide. Raffensperger is "in coverup mode," alleged Favorito. "There's nothing new in this brief that concerns us. What concerns us is that we have a secretary of state who doesn't believe in election integrity."

File
sos-amicus-brief.pdf

In his brief, Raffensperger cites Georgia's new election security bill, signed into law by Republican Governor Brian Kemp on March 25, as allowing the "public disclosure of ballot images, but not ballots," meaning the auditors would have access to digital images of the ballots, created by the tabulation machines, but not the physical ballots themselves.

"In creating this limited exception, the General Assembly expressed its clear intent to only allow public disclosure of ballot images while maintaining the confidentiality of ballots from public," asserts the secretary of state's brief.

The Raffensperger filing goes on to warn that, even if the judge were to permit the audit of the physical ballots, it would be a felony for anyone who is not the officer charged with handling the ballots to touch them.

"[A]ny legal challenges to the results of the 2020 general are also moot," claims the brief, "as the results of that election have already been tabulated, audited by hand count, recounted by machine tabulation, and were certified by the secretary of state on November 20, 2020, who has the sole authority to certify election results" under Georgia law.

"The public interest would not be served by allowing Petitioners to undergo an unlawful fishing expedition into sealed ballots in their attempt to undermine the results of the general election," continues the brief.

Raffensperger insists that his brief does not prevent an audit, emphasizing his support for the release of ballot images, as opposed to actual ballots.

"Unfortunately, some in the media are mischaracterizing our motion, insinuating that we are preventing an audit, which is false," Raffensperger said in a statement Monday. "The paper ballots have been sealed, and recent updates to the Georgia Open Records Act allow for the public disclosure for ballot images only (not ballots)."

"There's nothing in that bill that would prevent us from looking at ballots," Favorito countered. "That's just complete hogwash."

As for Raffensperger's threat that unauthorized handling of Fulton County ballots could be charged as a felony, Favorito is undeterred. "If he's trying to intimidate us, it's not going to work,” he said. "If the court says we can inspect the ballots, we're going to inspect them."

Wyoming Republican Governor Gordon signs bill requiring photo ID to vote
Wyoming follows a slew of other states such as Georgia in requiring photo identification to vote.

Wyoming Republican Gov. Mark Gordon has signed a bill requiring residents to present photo ID before voting.

Gordon on Monday signed House Bill 75, which requires the ID at polling place or for absentee ballot. The bill allows as vaild proof driver licenses, U.S. passports, tribal identification, university identification, U.S military identification and Medicare or Medicaid insurance cards.

"It is a necessary function of our Republic to provide our citizens with confidence that our elections are secure, fair and valid," state Republican Rep. Chuck Gray told The Epoch Times.

the Wyoming vote measure was signed into law as other Republican governors signed similar ones – including the most high-profile one recently in Georgia that resulted in Major League Baseball pulling its annual All Star game out of Atlanta, over criticism the law made voting more difficult for minorities.

A formal complaint filed in Wisconsin on Thursday alleges that public officials allowed private agents to "control significant aspects of the 2020 elections," up to and including vote counting and the curing of disputed ballots.

The filing with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, announced in a press release from the election integrity watchdog group the Amistad Project, claims that "emails obtained through public records requests" revealed that the Green Bay, Wisconsin mayor's office "handed over the keys to the [vote] counting room" to a local Democratic operative, one who "worked with the Center for Tech and Civic Life to bring in Democrat political consultants and lawyers to set election policy in the presidential election."

The Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit voting advocacy group, generated controversy during the 2020 election for having plowed millions of dollars into local election systems in what it said was an effort to ensure safe and easy voting last year.

The Amistad Project claimed that "several other left-leaning political advisors and lawyers [were] involved in deciding Green Bay’s internal counting room policy and the city’s targeting specific voter demographics favorable to Democrat Party candidates for outreach and voter turnout efforts."

“Private interests dictating how government manages elections ensures public doubt about election outcomes and involves government in playing favorites,” Phill Kline, the director of the Amistad Project, said in the release.

The Amistad Project "also filed a document detailing the minimum investigatory effort necessary to gain an understanding of who managed the 2020 election," the press release said.
