Other than politics, how do you lose a case where large numbers of voters, far more than you need to flip Pennsylvania, are disenfranchised? Vote Observers thrown out of counting rooms. People going to vote finding out they have already voted through a fake ballot – go home!

One of the Republican Michigan state legislators who met earlier this week with outgoing president Donald Trump said in an interview on Fox News Sunday that the state could face a Constitutional crisis if the Board of State Canvassers fails to certify the election Monday, the Detroit News reports.

“If there were to be a 2-2 split on the State Board of Canvassers, it would then go to the Michigan Supreme Court to determine what their response would be, what their order would be,” Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield said on “Fox & Friends” Sunday. “If they didn’t have an order that it be certified, well now we have a constitutional crisis in the state of Michigan. It’s never occurred before.”

The Michigan Constitution requires that the Board certify the vote totals after having each county submit certified vote tallies.  All 83 counties have submitted certified vote counts and submitted them to the state board.

“If this way doesn’t work, obviously, now we have questions that have arisen in Michigan for the very first time,” Chatfield said.  “It’s a place that I really don’t want to be in.”

Axios: “Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that President-elect Biden’s administration ‘must not go back to the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.’ The comments — at the annual memorial ceremony for David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister — signal that Netanyahu is planning to repeat the public campaign against an Iran deal that he engaged in during the Obama administration. Domestically, they also indicate that Netanyahu is preparing for a new election campaign in which he will claim he is the only one who can stand firm against Biden and protect Israel from Iran. What he’s saying: Netanyahu said that Israel must stick to an uncompromising policy of ensuring that Iran will not develop nuclear weapons.”

“Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said on ‘Meet the Press’ on Sunday that it is past time to “cooperate with the transition” to President-elect Joe Biden, adding that he believes President Trump still has the right to continue fighting in court over election results. Trump has refused to allow the transition process to begin as he has sought to discredit the election results in swing states across the country – baselessly alleging mass voter fraud. His campaign continues to file and lose lawsuits, most recently on Saturday night in Pennsylvania, where a judge dismissed a suit that sought to invalidate millions of votes. What he’s saying: ‘[Trump] is a reflection of millions of people that want to see him fight this to the end. Now, there has to be an end,’ Cramer told host Chuck Todd. ‘I frankly do think it’s past time to … at least cooperate with the transition. I’d rather have a president that has more than one day to prepare should Joe Biden end up winning this, but in the meantime, again, he’s just exercising his legal options'” – Axios.

AP: “The head of the U.S. effort to produce a coronavirus vaccine says the first immunizations could happen on Dec. 12. A Food and Drug Administration advisory committee is set to meet Dec. 10 to discuss Pfizer Inc.’s request for an emergency use authorization for its developing COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech recently announced that the vaccine appears 95% effective at preventing mild to severe COVID-19 disease in a large, ongoing study. Dr. Moncef Slaoui, head of the Operation Warp Speed, the coronavirus vaccine program, says plans are to ship vaccines to states within 24 hours of expected FDA approval. Slaoui told CNN he expects vaccinations would begin on the second day after approval, Dec. 12”

Politico: “President Donald Trump has spent the three weeks since he lost the election savaging a pair of GOP governors for not backing his claims he was robbed. Republicans are worried it’s just the start of what’s in store from the soon-to-be-ex-president. Trump’s attacks on Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine – both of whom are up for reelection in 2022 – has led to broader concerns within the party that he will use his post-presidency to exact revenge on perceived enemies and insert himself into races in ways that are not helpful.”

“While the 2022 midterm elections are a ways off, the president’s broadsides are giving fuel to would-be primary challengers in both states – raising the prospect that Republicans will be forced into ugly and expensive nomination fights that could jeopardize their hold on the two governors’ mansions. Trump’s intrusions into Georgia and Ohio provide an early test case for how he might use his stranglehold on the conservative base to control the party long after he leaves the White House. Never mind that Trump will no longer be in power: Cross him, and you will pay. ‘The president’s jabs at Govs. Kemp and DeWine could invite primaries, and that’s exactly the chatter he wants to start,’ said Republican strategist Mike DuHaime, who oversaw Chris Christie’s successful New Jersey gubernatorial campaigns. ‘The power the president holds over elected Republicans is due to his strength among GOP primary voters in every state and district right now. He may be able to make or break candidates in GOP primaries for years to come,’ added DuHaime, who formerly served as a senior adviser to the Republican Governors Association.”

“Friend, Did you watch my legal team’s press conference earlier this week? They were SPECTACULAR. Rudy Giuliani is exactly right. I was WAY AHEAD of Joe Biden on Election Night, and yet, when we woke up the next morning, I was down. How is that possible? The reality is, Joe Biden did NOT win this Election. There have been irregularities in Democrat-run cities all across the Nation FOR YEARS. They have gone UNCHECKED for far too long, and now it’s up to YOU to hold them accountable. This is your chance to show them that this is YOUR COUNTRY, NOT THEIRS” – Email sent by Trump campaign at 9:54 pm EST Saturday, the second of seven sent in the 12 hours prior to 7:45 am EST Sunday morning.

New York Times: “As President Trump brazenly seeks to delay the certification of the election in hopes of overturning his defeat, he is also mounting a less high-profile but similarly audacious bid to keep control of the Republican National Committee even after he leaves office.”

“The continuing influence of Mr. Trump could also have implications for some of the national committee’s most critical assets: Its voter data and donors lists contain thousands of names of contributors and detailed information about supporters. The voter data in particular is a focus of attention, after distrust arose between the committee and the Trump campaign over the data’s use in the final months of the campaign. While the committee and the Trump campaign are in the process of untangling joint agreements over access to that information, Mr. Trump sees control of the lists that he helped build over the past four years as a way to keep a grip on power — and to neutralize potential challengers for supremacy over the party, according to Republicans close to the White House. This power play is alarming a number of R.N.C. members, party strategists and former committee aides, who are highly uneasy about ceding control of the committee to a potential candidate in 2024, a step that they fear would shatter the party’s longstanding commitment to neutrality in nominating contests.”

Reuters: “Polls opened in Burkina Faso on Sunday in a presidential election dominated by jihadist violence, which has cost over 2,000 lives this year and will prevent voting in hundreds of villages. President Roch Kaboré is seeking a second five-year term, campaigning on achievements such as free healthcare for children under the age of five and paving some of the red dirt roads that snake across the arid West African country.”

“But a surge in attacks by groups with links to the militant groups al Qaeda and Islamic State has eclipsed everything else. Three weeks after his inauguration, al Qaeda’s regional branch attacked a hotel and a cafe in the capital, killing 32 people. An ambush on mine workers in the east last year killed 39. ‘We need someone who is going to bring peace to our country. The president needs a second mandate to end what has started,’ said secretary Maimouna Tapsoba, 59, who wiped purple ink from her finger after voting in Ouagadougou.”

According to the COVID Tracking Project, the US increased the number of people infected with the coronavirus by 178,000 patients Saturday, a day when outgoing president Donald Trump skipped a G-20 meeting on the pandemic to play a round of golf.

Another tracker, from Johns Hopkins University, the US surpassed 12 million total cases since the coronavirus hit American shores.

More than 83,000 patients were hospitalized with coronavirus, continuing a trend of having a 50% growth over two weeks, foreboding an increase in deaths in the coming weeks.

Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, a member of the Elite Special Force Team which is 2-26 in legal decisions about the election, claimed in a Saturday night interview with NewsMax, a little-known cable news network, that she is preparing a “blockbuster” fraud case that she cannot release the details of as yet.

“We’re very clear on the law and the facts on multiple issues,” Powell claimed despite judges saying there’s no substance to the ESFT arguments, “and we’ve yet to present the Big Fraud case yet that I’m still working on, and it’s going to be a blockbuster.”

Powell claimed that the affidavits the ESFT has introduced into courts are “hardcore evidence” of crimes and fraud, however no judge has agreed with them.  She said the affidavits present a picture of “how and why the system was created and how it worked to accomplish the objective for Hugo Chavez.”

Chavez, the former president of Venezuela, died in 2013. 

“Today, the Trump campaign filed a petition for recount in Georgia. We are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted. President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards. Without signature matching, this recount would be a sham and again allow for illegal votes to be counted. If there is no signature matching, this would be as phony as the initial vote count and recount. Let’s stop giving the People false results. There must be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots. Hopefully it is coming soon” – Trump Campaign press release.

“U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s campaign said Saturday she is self-isolating after she tested positive for the coronavirus and later received an inconclusive result. It’s not clear how the diagnosis will affect her nationally-watched Jan. 5 runoff, one of two races that will determine control of the U.S. Senate. Loeffler’s spokesman Stephen Lawson said she took two COVID tests on Friday morning. He said her rapid test results were negative and that she was cleared to attend a pair of events with Vice President Mike Pence. He said she was informed later Friday that a PCR test came back positive and she was retested Saturday morning and the results were inconclusive. ‘Senator Loeffler followed CDC guidelines by notifying those with whom she had sustained direct contact while she awaits further test results,’ said Lawson.” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

KDKA: “Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey has said that President Donald Trump has ‘exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania… With today’s decision by Judge Matthew Brann, a longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair and unbiased jurist, to dismiss the Trump campaign’s lawsuit, President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania,'”

“‘I congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their victory,’ Senator Toomey’s statement said. ‘They are both dedicated public servants and I will be praying for them and for our country. Unsurprisingly, I have significant policy disagreements with the President-elect. However, as I have done throughout my career, I will seek to work across the aisle with him and his administration, especially on those areas where we may agree, such as continuing our efforts to combat COVID-19, breaking down barriers to expanding trade, supporting the men and women of our armed forces, and keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals and the dangerously mentally ill… To ensure that he is remembered for these outstanding accomplishments, and to help unify our country, President Trump should accept the outcome of the election and facilitate the presidential transition process'”

Mr. Room Rater, is it possible now that the election is over to rate rooms on a non partisan basis? Are you a room rater or a hyper partisan person that is the problem? We need less hyper partisanship on backgrounds at this time for our country. https://t.co/6oPKILYLZB

A Minnesota judge has rejected the divorce agreement submitted by Derek Chauvin, the officer charged in the homicide of George Floyd, and his alleged-estranged wife, Kellie, because of a suspicion of fraud, KMSP Fox-9 News reports.

In the divorce agreement submitted to the Court, Derek Chauvin would give Kellie all the equity in their homes, all of their funds in the bank and investment accounts, and all of Derek’s pension and retirement accounts, except for the nonmarital portion of two accounts.

Judge Juanita Freeman, the Washington County district judge overseeing the case, noted that Derek Chauvin was giving up virtually all the wealth and possessions amassed by the couple.  The judge noted that this agreement could be a fraudulent deal to protect assets held by the couple.
