Trump Finally Admits… ‘Biden Won’ the presidential election

It never is that simple with Trump. Although he finally publicly proclaimed that Joe Biden won the presidential election, he followed up his statement with more lies and misleading information.

The president’s comments, made in a seemingly offhand post on social media, come as his campaign continues to challenge the results of the election in court and as his administration holds up formal transition processes.

In subsequent tweets, Trump wrote that he would not concede.

The ostensible acknowledgement of defeat came on Twitter, in response to a post by the Fox News show “Watters’ World” that suggested that Biden “didn’t earn” the presidency.

“He won because the Election was Rigged,” Trump wrote, repeating an allegation that has been debunked by election officials around the country and his own Department of Homeland Security.

Shortly after writing that Biden had won, though, Trump wrote in another post that he conceded “NOTHING” and claimed that “WE WILL WIN!”

“He only won in the eyes of the FAKE NEWS MEDIA,” Trump wrote.

Trump Could Face Criminal Prosecution When He Leaves Office

It is now apparent that Donald Trump cannot count. He somehow thinks his 214 Electoral votes is more than Biden’s 290, and thus, makes him the winner. But there may be another reason why Trump wants to hold on to the Oval Office… a prison jumpsuit could be in his near future.

Yahoo News is reporting that when he leaves the White House in January, he will also lose the constitutional protection from prosecution afforded to a sitting president.

After Jan. 20, Trump, who has refused to concede and is fighting to hold onto his office, will be more vulnerable than ever to a pending grand jury investigation by the Manhattan district attorney into the president’s family business and its practices, as well as his taxes.

The two-year inquiry, the only known active criminal investigation of Trump, has been stalled since last fall, when the president sued to block a subpoena for his tax returns and other records, a bitter dispute that for the second time is before the U.S. Supreme Court. A ruling is expected soon.

Trump has contended that the investigation by the district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., a Democrat, is a politically motivated fishing expedition. But if the Supreme Court rules that Vance is entitled to the records, and he uncovers possible crimes, Trump could face a reckoning with law enforcement — further inflaming political tensions and raising the startling specter of a criminal conviction, or even prison, for a former president.

“He’ll never have more protection from Vance than he has right now,” said Stephen I. Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas.

Barack Obama “troubled” that Republicans continue “humouring” Trump

In an interview with 60 Minutes, former president, Barack Obama expressed frustration with Republicans who continue kissing up to Trump. Mr. Obama says he’s troubled by this because they “clearly know better.”

“They appear to be motivated, in part, because the president doesn’t like to lose and never admits loss,” Obama responded, adding, “I’m more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion.”

Obama was interviewed by “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley about his memoir “A Promised Land.” CBS released a short excerpt that dealt with the 2020 election and Trump’s refusal to concede.

The televised interview will air on Sunday.

Stacey Abrams Credited for Massive Voter Turnout in Georgia

Giving credit where credit is due…

Stacey Abrams, who earlier this year was on a short list of potential vice-presidential candidates, was ultimately not chosen by Joseph R. Biden Jr. But on Friday, as Mr. Biden took a narrow lead in Georgia, it was Ms. Abrams who was celebrated, a sign of her remarkable ascent as a power broker since her failed bid for governor of that state two years ago.

Celebrities, activists and voters across Georgia credited Ms. Abrams with moving past her loss — she came within 55,000 votes of the governor’s mansion — and building a well-funded network of organizations that highlighted voter suppression in the state and inspired an estimated 800,000 residents to register to vote.

“You have to build the infrastructure to organize and motivate your base, and you have to persuade people,” said Jason Carter, a Democrat who was the party’s candidate for governor in 2014. “Stacey built that infrastructure, and Donald Trump’s presidency energized that infrastructure, and it opened up voters to persuasion who were previously not open, particularly in the suburbs.”

Mr. Biden pulled ahead of President Trump in Georgia, a state that has not elected a Democratic presidential candidate in nearly three decades.

Pennsylvania Postal Worker Recants Story about Voter Fraud in Erie P.A

The Washington Post reports that the Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities, admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

Richard Hopkins’s claim that a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Justice Department calling for a federal investigation. Attorney General William P. Barr subsequently authorized federal prosecutors to open probes into credible allegations of voting irregularities and fraud, a reversal of long-standing Justice Department policy.

But on Monday, Hopkins, 32, told investigators from the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General that the allegations were not true, and he signed an affidavit recanting his claims, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tweeted late Tuesday that the “whistleblower completely RECANTED.”

Georgia’s Republican Lt. Governor Denies Claims of Fraud in Election

Not all Republicans got the memo. While most of Trump’s Minions are going around trying to convince Americans that Trump won the election, Georgia Lt. Governor, Geoff Duncan went on CNN today and denied any validity to Trump’s “rigged election” talking point.

Asked multiple times about any irregularities in Georgia’s presidential election, Duncan continuously slapped down Trump’s fraud claims.

“My office has been in close communication with the secretary of state’s office, and the attorney general‘s office and made sure that if there’s any sort of systemic examples of fraud or voter disenfranchisement across the voting base to let us know. We’ve not had any sort of credible incidents raised to our level yet, and so we’ll continue to make sure that the opportunity to make sure every legal ballot is counted is there, but at this point, we’ve not seen any sort of credible examples.”

PFizer Announces 90 Percent Efficacy With New Covid Vaccine

If proven to be true, this is huge!

“This could be the greatest medical advance in 100 years,” said Pfizer chairman and CEO Dr. Albert Bourla of his company’s blockbuster announcement that its COVID-19 vaccine is showing a 90 per cent efficacy. The announcement has made headlines around the world and has sent stock markets soaring in optimism.

To be clear, what 90 per cent efficacy means is that out of the nearly 44,000 people of diverse backgrounds not previously exposed to the disease enrolled in Phase 3 of the study when Pfizer looked at the infected and non-infected patients, 90 per cent of those infected were shown to have received the placebo, while only 10 per cent of the infected had received the actual vaccine. Thus, 90 per cent efficacy.

This is great news because scientists have long indicated that a vaccine with a 50 per cent efficacy would go a long way to controlling the spread of the pandemic.
