Election 2020 (11/20/2020)

Anyone who has ever wagered on an NFL football game knows the feeling when what appears to be a sure win slips away. As the scores scroll across the bottom of the television screen displaying what seemed to be an insurmountable lead dissipate. The game's highlights soon reveal a perfect storm of controversial officiating, questionable coaching decisions, and bad play making. You know the outcome before the game ends and it is not good. Such was the case when millions of Americans viewed the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Election day shenanigans are nothing new. Especially in our major cities. In the 1960 presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, the New York Times went to press before midnight with the headline, "Kennedy elected President". Times managing editor, Turner Catledge recalled in his memoirs that he secretly hoped a certain Midwestern mayor would steal enough votes to pull Kennedy through. Many believed that mobster Sam Giancana "played a role" in Kennedy's win in Illinois.

The 2020 election was no exception. In most states Joe Biden did not do well. However, he did much better in the states he needed such as, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia. The democrats did not fare well in the House elections but Trump did not match the success of their republican opponents. For this to occur voters would need to have selectively split their voting tickets. Republicans also did better than expected in the Senate races but again, no coattails for the president. This may suggest fraud.

One thing that the COVID pandemic has taught us is that the democrats are the party of government regulations. With one exception - voting rules.

The chicanery continued in the Philadelphia, Detroit and Atlanta in 2020.

Poll watchers from the minority republican party were denied access to view the election process. In Detroit, democratic officials placed poster board on the windows to deny poll watchers' visual access. When a judge imposed an order in Philadelphia to allow poll watchers access to within six feet of barriers, the democrats simply moved the machines twenty-five away making poll watching virtually impossible. It took a full week to tally the votes in Philadelphia. Most states completed their counts on that same day.

Election results for Fulton County which includes the majority of Atlanta were delayed due to a pipe bursting in a room where absentee ballots were being counted. This delayed the county from fully reporting results until the Friday after Tuesday's election.

Strangely there was no widespread reporting of voting fraud in the states that Biden won easily. The problems mainly occurred in the swing states of Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania. While Joe Biden failed to get as many votes as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the last few elections in every major city somehow he was able to surpass them in Atlanta, Detroit and Philadelphia.

Poll watching is necessary to insure a clean election process. These benefits both parties. The winner needs to be accepted by the entire electorate to show legitimacy.

Although opponents of President Trump proclaim that here was no election day fraud the evidence suggest otherwise. Below is a checklist of the many different instances of fraud that occurred during election day:

Although the aforementioned implies a strong likely hood of election day fraud, the real fraud occurred prior to the election. Throughout our countries history we have shined above others in the way that we peacefully transfer power. Times have changed.

As a response to the last question in the first presidential debate, President Donald Trump predicted that the 2020 presidential election would be a disaster. Although there is mounting evidence of a rigged election, the rigging started well before election day.

Several key stories that could have impact on the election were not even mentioned by the "free press". During the Obama administration, Joe Biden's son Hunter was given several prominent jobs by his vice president father. These were positions that the vice president's son had no prior qualifications but this did not prevent him from wielding million-dollar payoffs. When a credible witness came forward to collaborate these misdeeds, only FOX news covered the story. Video was shown on FOX of Vice President Biden threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine if the Ukraine attorney general did not withdraw his investigation of Hunter Biden. What was most interesting was the pre- and post-election coverage of the scandal. The rest of the mainstream media did not even reference the scandal. On October 16th the Washington Post headline read that "The Truth Behind the Hunter Biden Non-Scandal". After the election that same Washington Post ran a headline stating, "Hunter Biden Tax Probe Examining Chinese Business Deals". On October 19th Politico reported "Hunter Biden Story is Russian Disinformation. Dozens of former intel officials say false yet again." On December 2nd Politico read, "Justice departments interest in Hunter Biden covered more than taxes." The rest of the mainstream media did not even reference the scandal. Also not mentioned was President Trump being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace and stability to the Middle East.

Liberal bias crossed all forms of media. The Big Tech repeatedly censored President Trump supressing posts on Twitter and Facebook that were not favorable to Joe Biden. They would not press him on questions such as would he pack the Supreme Court by adding three more seats to the bench. Many times, the national TV media would not cover Trump's news conferences. The liberal press never questioned Joe Biden's cognitive difficulties during the campaign, of which there were many:

• Thinking that he is running for the senate while running for president.
• Mistakenly saying he was wearing an Eagles football jacket to a small crowd in Philadelphia.
• Forgetting the name of senator Mitt Romney.
• Referring to his opponent in the presidential race as George.
• Not knowing what state he is in.
• Referring to his possible administration as the Harris/Biden administration.

Vice President Biden barely made himself available on the campaign trail, opting instead to bunker down in his basement while President Trump traveled the country visiting many key battleground states. The media gave Biden a pass, buying into his fear of spreading the COVID virus. However, this same media ignored the widespread celebrations for Biden after election day. They also ignored the lack of social distancing when it comes to rioting by radical groups BLM and Antifa.

The fairness of the presidential debates can also be called into question. The moderator of the first presidential debate, Chriss Wallace displayed extreme bias in favor of Joe Biden. Each time the president pressed Joe Biden for answers to questions that Wallace neglected to ask, such as asking him to name one law enforcement agency that supports him, Wallace interrupted and rescued a struggling Biden.

The second debate was canceled so instead President Trump participated in a Town Hall meeting in Miami that was hosted by NBC news anchor Savannah Guthrie. Guthrie repeatedly interrupted the president dominating the Town Hall format and limiting the amount of time public questioners were allocated. Juxtapose this event with the "soft ball" type questions Biden received from ABC's George Stephanopoulos which aired at the same time and it was plain to see that the two were not competing on an even playing field.

In the months leading up to the election, most of the polls projected Biden as the winner. This can become a self-fulfilling prophesy. Why go to the polls if pollsters say your guy is toast? Self-fulfilling prophesy did not only happen on election day but in the days leading up to the election (How to Spot Disonest Arguments, page 89; Reed, John T., 2020). This is significant because it influences voters and helps fund raising. It is a form of voter suppression.

A "witch hunt" mentality against the president existed almost as soon as he took office. Hillary Clinton, refused to accept the 2016 election results along with many of her colleagues, accusing the election of being manipulated by Russia. On May 17, 2017, in spite of a lack of credible probable cause that a crime was committed, former FBI head Robert Mueller was appointed as special council overseeing an investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. On June 14, 2017, The Washington Post reported that Mueller's office is also investigating Trump personally for possible obstruction of justice, in reference to the Russian probe. Mueller put several Trump associates in jail for matters unrelated to the purported subject matter of the investigation, and found no conspiracy between Trump and Russia (How to Spot Disonest Arguments, page 77; Reed, John T., 2020).

On March 24, Attorney General Barr submitted a summary of findings to the United States Congress. He stated in his letter, "The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russian in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

At the conclusion of the investigation, the World's most expensive Witch Hunt has found nothing on Russia & the president. Robert Mueller resigned his post on March 22, 2019.

The "witch hunt" did not end with the failed Mueller report. House speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated a formal impeachment inquiry on September 24, 2019. On December 13, 2019, the House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to pass two articles of impeachment: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. After debate, the House of Representatives impeached Trump with both articles on December 18. The Trump legal team argued that the impeachment was "constitutionally and legally invalid" because Trump was not charged with a crime and that abuse of power is not an impeachable offense. On February 5, Trump was acquitted of both charges.

"Never let a crisis go to waste." Throughout the nation many school districts acquiesced to teacher unions concerns over COVID and closed schools. This occurred predominantly in liberal districts in spite of lacking evidence that children are at risk to COVID. Weeks after the election Corona virus cases spiked nationwide. Ironically, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York public schools would re-open after the first week of December. Shortly thereafter Dr. Fauci issued a statement saying that schools should be open.

Weeks before the election, Trump proclaimed that a vaccination for the COVID virus would be coming in weeks. Less than a week after the election Pfizer released a vaccine. Pfizer had the data that their vaccine was 90% effective as early as October but deliberately did not look at it until after the election in order to prevent Trump from getting any credit for his COVID policies. It is likely that the FDA did the same with an 8-week delay in approving the vaccines. Some have claimed that Trump has blood on his hands. Conversely, any one who has delayed the distibution of the vaccine has blood on their hands.

The last four years the press has called President Trump an illegitimate president. Yet this same liberal media expected the president to graciously concede shortly after "they" have called the election for Biden.

The media was not alone in their liberal bias against the president. Politicians were also compliant. The economic stimulus package that was desperately needed to provide relief for many Americans was in the crosshairs of the Democratic party. The Dems loaded the bill with excess pork knowing that the Republicans could not pass it. The Economic Stimulus bill was passed to give qualifying Americans each $600. Below is a list of some of the more outrages giveaways that were included in the bill. Pay particular attention to item #11:

1. $300,000,00 for Migrant and Refuge assistance
2. $100,000,00 for NASA
3. $20,000,000 to the UPS
4. $300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Arts
5. $300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Humanities
6. $300,000,00 to Public Broadcasting
7. $500,000,00 for Museums and Libraries
8. $25,000,000 for cleaning supplies for the Capitol Building
9. $7,500,000 for the Smithsonian
10. $35,000,00 for the JFK for Performing Arts
11. $25,000,000 for additional salary for House of Representatives (f you divide $25,000,000 by 535, you get: $46728 to each member of Congress. That's how much they just INCREASED their SALARY.)
12. $13,000,000 for Howard University
13. $9,000,000 for misc Senate expenses

To President's credit he has threatened to veto the bill.

Due to mail-in ballots and voter enthusiasm, turnout for the 2020 presidential election was the highest in our nation's history. Credit should be given to the voting public for participation in the election process whether by mail-in or standing in long lines for hours. Perhaps one voter's patience stands out amongst the rest. Philadelphia favorite son Joe Frazier overcame tremendous odds to cast his ballot. Frazier is the former boxer who defeated Muhammad Ali for the world's heavyweight championship. Joe Frazier died less than one week after election day - November 7th 2011.
