CNN’s Jake Tapper Tells Trump Staffers Concede or Get Blacklisted

CNN’s Jake Tapper joined the growing list of media elites and Democrats (but I repeat myself) calling for Trump staffers to be blacklisted.

Tapper is using a blacklist threat to try and convince Trump staffers to stop contesting the disputed 2020 election. He’s not even hiding it.

“I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy,” the far-left CNNLOL anchor tweeted Monday, adding, “but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.”

Joseph McCarthy couldn’t have said it better.

Although the Trump campaign is coming forward with eyewitness accounts in the form of sworn statements alleging widespread vote fraud, although the Trump campaign is legally entitled to recounts in a number of swing states, the venal Tapper is still threatening them — telling them if they don’t give up their legal rights to legally contest a whisker-close election, they deserve to be blacklisted.

In other words, Gee, that’s a nice career you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

This, obviously, is not the first time the disgraced anchor has engaged in McCarthyism and blacklisting.

Without proof, Tapper spent three years falsely accusing President Trump and his campaign staff of colluding with the Russians. Tapper did this despite the fact he knew the documents alleging collusion were bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Worse still, Tapper almost certainly colluded with disgraced bureaucrats, such as former FBI Director James Comey, to make Clinton’s phony Russia dossier public…

All of Tapper’s red-baiting is right out the McCarthyism Handbook.

And now he’s openly threatening Trump staffers that if they do not roll over and concede to his candidate, they will have a hard time making a living in the future.

Tapper appears to be in some sort of narcissistic downward spiral of hate and self-delusion. He’s openly fantasized about the president of the United States being “physically escorted from the building.” He publicly mocked White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for defending her colleague Stephen Miller with a (misspelled) tweet heckling her with “Bye, Felisha.” (It’s Felicia.)

Back in September, undisputed texts revealed Tapper tried to meddle in a Pennsylvania congressional election by convincing GOP challenger Sean Parnell not to challenge incumbent Democrat Congressman Conor Lamb. We later received credible reports that Tapper basically harassed the Parnell campaign after those texts were released.

Tapper then straight up lied about his meddling, and again got caught. But Tapper and lying go together like water and wet.

Graham: If GOP Doesn’t Fight, There Will ‘Never Be Another Republican President Elected Again’

“This is a contested election, the media doesn’t decide who becomes president. If they did you’d never have a Republican president forever, so we’re discounting them,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham to host Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“President Trump should not concede,” continued Graham. “These computers… do not pass the smell test. We can’t let the media run America.”

Nolte: Corrupt Media Desperate to Close Books on Contested Election

Joe Biden is not “president-elect.” Joe Biden has not won the 2020 presidential election. Donald Trump’s re-election has not been defeated. Right now, Joe Biden is merely “ahead in the count” of enough states to win the presidency.

But this is a contested election and we have a long way to go, probably more than a month and a plethora of legal filings, before a winner is declared.

Per our own Constitution, there is only one institution legally entitled to declare a winner in a presidential election, and that’s the Electoral College, which does not meet until the middle of December.

Only the Electoral College can dub someone “president-elect.”

The fake news media, of course — the corporate media, the same corrupt media that told us to be patient if Election Day lasted weeks, now want us to forget all that, want to close the book on the election before it has been audited, want us to believe unelected liars who sit in anchor chairs have the legal authority to declare Joe Biden “president elect.”

Well, they don’t, and the state legislatures, the district and Supreme courts would be doing the country a great disservice if they allowed themselves to be gaslighted into believing this election is over.

They must ignore the corrupt media and do their duty.

Of course, Democrats, most especially Joe Biden, are also trying to gaslight us into believing the election is over (along with Vichy Republicans), which is why Biden gave a premature victory speech on Saturday, and why he is already behaving like a president-elect.

What Biden is doing is un-American, anti-democratic, fascist, and fooling no one.

It’s also not going to work because Donald Trump is still the president, Donald Trump does not give up, and Donald Trump cannot be intimidated or gaslighted by anything or anyone.

Overall, though, what we are seeing the media do, aside from dismiss the possibility of widespread voter fraud before anyone has had adequate time to make their case and produce evidence, is declare Joe Biden the winner even before the legal recounts and re-canvassings have taken place.

The bottom line is that the media want this election shut down before anyone has a chance to look into what happened, before anyone has a chance to even see if Biden did indeed win fair and square.

I think it goes without saying that if the shoe were on the other foot, the media would be preaching for patience, as they originally told us Deplorables to do.

However this comes out, let’s be sure to remember that the media had no interest in looking into voting irregularities and vote fraud, had no interest in looking into potential software glitches and fraud, had no interest in valid recounts.

No, it’s worse than that…

Esper, on his way out, says he was no yes man

As had long been expected, President Donald Trump fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday, cutting short what would have otherwise been his final months at the Pentagon, in anticipation of President-elect Joe Biden’s transition in January.

Delivered via tweet, Trump announced Chris Miller, previously the National Counterterrorism Center director, will step in immediately as acting defense secretary.

Esper’s Pentagon exit had been expected for months, as tension both subtle and obvious bubbled with the White House. Some had expected that Esper would beat him to the punch with a resignation, but with the election coming up, it appeared neither side wanted to rock that particular boat.

In fact, Esper went nearly underground in the run-up to the election, last hosting a Pentagon briefing in late July. He continued to bring reporters along on several trips both within the U.S. and abroad, but declined on-the-record interviews. Former Vice President Joe Biden’s apparent election victory temporarily quelled rumors that Esper would either resign or be fired, but in the end, the Trump administration decided it would rather finish out its last 10 weeks with someone else.

Speaking to Military Times in an exclusive interview on Nov. 4, Esper confirmed that he never had any intention of quitting, and though he expected the other shoe to drop, he didn’t have a good read on when.

“So what I’m trying to do is, kind of, share my views and perspectives while they’re still fresh,” he said.

He was also conscious of his legacy, particularly where it concerned the National Defense Strategy.

GSA Tells Biden Campaign: No Transfer Of Power Until A 'Clear, Constitutional Winner' Is Decided

As the campaign for Joe Biden attempts to push the General Services Administration (GSA) to approve a transfer of power, the agency said that it has not made an assessment of the situation.

“An ascertainment has not yet been made. GSA and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law,” a spokesperson with the GSA told Epoch Times on Monday morning.

The agency said that the GSA administrator, Emily Murphy, will only initiate the transition when a “clear winner is clear based on the process laid out in the Constitution.”

“The Administrator’s ascertainment is done for the purposes of making services provided by the [Presidential Transition Act] available,” the spokesperson added.

“Until an ascertainment is made, the statute allows for the Biden Transition Team to continue to receive the pre-elect services from the government (e.g., limited office space, computers, background investigations for security clearances). GSA has met all statutory requirements under the PTA for this election cycle and will continue to do so.”

A number of media outlets projected that Biden, a Democrat, was the winner, although Trump’s team has filed lawsuits in key battleground states, alleging irregularities and voter fraud. And in others, vote-counting is still ongoing.

The Epoch Times will not declare a winner of the 2020 presidential election until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved. Both candidates have claimed victory in certain states, but it appears increasingly likely that this election will be resolved in the courts.

Trump’s campaign has also pushed for recounts and canvasses in several states like Wisconsin and Georgia. Trump’s team said they would provide more evidence and announce more lawsuits.

According to Reuters, if the GSA signed off on the transition plan, it would provide Biden’s campaign with federal funding for travel and salaries.

Sen. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Operations, told Reuters that there needs to be a speedy transition process due to the pandemic.

“The Administrator plays a critical role in the peaceful transfer of power and ensuring vital government services are not disrupted. This is all the more important amid a deadly pandemic,” Connolly added.

In a 1963 law (pdf), the GSA’s administration will decide when a winner is determined. Then it opens the doors to U.S. federal agencies and provides them with operational funding. The incoming administration then had about two months to organize itself before Jan. 20.

UK spy agency to launch pro-vaccine offensive cyber operation

BRITAIN’S SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE AGENCY is preparing to launch a major offensive cyber operation against state-sponsored propaganda aimed at undermining research on the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the London-based Times newspaper, which published the information about the purported cyber operation, it will be aimed mostly against disinformation campaigns coming out of Russia.

According to the paper, the operational mandate of the 77th Brigade and GCHQ prevents them from tackling disinformation and misinformation originating from ordinary social media users, rather than state agencies. Additionally, the offensive cyber campaign cannot target websites that are based in Britain’s so-called Five Eyes allies, namely Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. Instead, British spies are required to notify their Five Eyes counterparts, so they can take action instead.

The Times reports that the British government considers shutting down the alleged Russian disinformation campaign a strategic priority, which grows in significance the closer British scientists get to their goal of creating a successful vaccine against the pandemic. London has therefore ordered the British Army’s 77th Brigade, which specializes in information operations, to launch an online campaign that will counter deceptive narratives about a potential vaccine against the coronavirus.

Whitehall has also mobilized the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), Britain’s signals intelligence agency, which focuses on cyber-security, to launch offensive operations against the sources of the disinformation, says The Times. The paper cites a government source as saying that the spy agency will be using tools originally developed to monitor and incapacitate websites and other online platforms used by the Islamic State for recruitment.

EU pushes for access to encrypted messages, Austrian broadcaster reports, amid recent terrorist attacks

In the wake of the Vienna terror attack, the EU wants to access the type of encryption that makes communications nearly impossible to snoop on, an Austrian broadcaster has reported. Actually, this has been in the works for years.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) protects communications between two devices from eavesdropping by a third party, even if the snooper intercepts the message. Popular Services like WhatsApp, Telegram or Facebook Messenger use it to protect user privacy.

Austrian public broadcaster ORF reported on Sunday that the EU may soon get access to this type of protection, linking the potential policy shift with the recent terrorist attacks in Europe, including in Vienna. It cited a draft document of the Council of the European Union, which member states may approve as soon as this month.

The EU believes that “competent authorities must be able to access data in a lawful and targeted manner,” according to the draft. E2EE makes it “extremely challenging or practically impossible” to see the contents of the communications “despite the fact that the access to such data would be lawful.”

Actually, the document in question has been in the works long before the latest terrorist attacks in Europe, while the issue of undefeatable encryption has been under debate for years. Public perception of encryption gained a boost in the wake of the 2013 revelation by Edward Snowden of mass electronic surveillance by the US and its allies. E2EE helps journalists protect their sources, facilitates anonymous anti-government speech in repressive nations and otherwise serves the goals of freedom.

Bureau of Labor Releases Top 20 Most Dangerous Jobs—Cops Aren't

Every single day, we are constantly reminded via politicians, television, and the mainstream media in general of just how brave those “boys in blue” are to work in such “dangerous” conditions. The thin blue line, we’re told, is akin to storming the beaches at Normandy.

But do these claims of mass danger and death hold water? Is it really necessary to dump 12 rounds into an unarmed autistic 13-year-old, so you can “make it home to your wife and kids”?

Over the last two decades police departments across the country have been steadily increasing their firepower, while their jobs have actually gotten LESS dangerous.

A report put out at the beginning of the year by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, highlights that lack of danger by showing a decrease in police officer deaths this year and a downward trend year over year.

Other jobs, however, appear to be getting more dangerous. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), recorded a preliminary total of 5,250 fatal work injuries in the US in 2018 which is a jump from 4,821 in 2014.

Flu vaccine derived from genetically modified TOBACCO plants sails through clinical trials

In a significant breakthrough for vaccine research, a flu jab grown in plants has passed two large-scale clinical trials. Researchers extracted virus-like particles from tobacco plants to create the inoculation.

The boffins used native Australian tobacco relatives that were genetically modified to create the viral proteins. The two trials involved nearly 23,000 people and the results indicated that the plant-derived vaccines are just as safe as current flu vaccines.

The influenza virus poses fresh problems for vaccine developers every year as it constantly shapeshifts. This is a massive undertaking and researchers have been crying out for an upgrade to the current technology.

The breakthrough is the largest ever demonstration of the potential to produce vaccines using plants.

“This is the first time a plant vaccine has been tested in a [human] clinical trial,” John Tregoning, an infectious disease researcher from Imperial College London, said about the results. “It is a milestone for this technology and sows the seeds for other plant-based vaccines and therapeutics.”

The development promises to be a huge boost to the annual fight against influenza, as plants can be mass-engineered to produce viral proteins at scale. Currently, most influenza vaccines are made using virus particles grown in chicken eggs or lab-grown cells.

The scientists used an Australian relative of the tobacco plant, Nicotiana benthamiana, engineered to produce just the outer shell of influenza viruses. These virus-like particles are then extracted and purified to make a flu vaccine.

In their paper published in The Lancet, the scientists say that their plant-based system can produce the first doses of a newly designed flu vaccine within two months of identifying an emerging influenza strain.

The results are hugely promising but the researchers still have to secure regulatory approvals for the vaccine, so it may be some time yet before plant-grown vaccines bear fruit.

Easing of Scotland's Covid-19 restrictions ‘highly unlikely’ says Sturgeon, ahead of Tuesday review

Scotland’s First Minister has warned that any easing of current Covid restrictions is “highly unlikely,” ahead of a government meeting on Tuesday to review the current measures.

Nicola Sturgeon told the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday that case numbers made it difficult for the government to consider an easing of Covid restrictions.

Cases in Scotland are still too high for comfort

Sturgeon claimed that there was some evidence that the measures taken, including the circuit breaker lockdown in October, and the new five-tier system, were starting to have an impact on the spread of the virus.

However, the first minister insisted that they needed to see a “significant and sustained reduction in cases” before making any decisions to reduce Covid restrictions.

The government will be reviewing the five-tier Covid restrictions system for the first time on Tuesday, having introduced it on November 2. Sturgeon said that any easing would be “highly unlikely.”

The first minister also described the announcement that Pfizer’s vaccine is 90 percent effective as the “best news in weeks.”

Scotland’s most populated areas are currently subjected to tier-three measures, which sees severe restrictions on hospitality venues and on socializing.

Following a firebreak lockdown in October and the introduction of the five-tiered system, Scotland is the least coronavirus-afflicted nation in the UK.

Overall infection rates in Scotland are significantly lower than in England, with 147.3 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days in Scotland compared to 243.2 cases per 100,000 in England.

Report: Wisconsin election clerks may have unlawfully altered mail ballots: 'The statute is very, very clear'

Biden leads Trump by a little more than 20,000 votes in Wisconsin

Wisconsin election clerks are being accused of violating state law regarding absentee ballots.

Although Election Day is over, legal challenges across the country are heating up as vigilant Americans scrutinize the electoral process. Whether lawsuits or vigilance pay off remains to be seen. But in a year where many elections are determined by razor-thin margins, the court system could play a greater role in determining election results than ever before.

What are the details?

According to WISN-AM, Wisconsin clerks and poll workers may have "unlawfully altered witness statements" on thousands of mail-in ballots.

Wisconsin state law requires that absentee ballots are signed by a witness, who is also required to list their address. In fact, the Wisconsin Elections Commission circulated a flier in August reminding voters that mail ballots are required to have the voter's information, the voter's signature, and a qualified witness' signature and address.

"If any of the required information above is missing, your ballot will not be counted," the WEC said.

However, just weeks before Election Day, the WEC told clerks that missing witness information needs to be corrected, of course — but the witnesses don't have to do it themselves.

The October directive said:

Please note that the clerk should attempt to resolve any missing witness address information prior to Election Day if possible, and this can be done through reliable information (personal knowledge, voter registration information, through a phone call with the voter or witness). The witness does not need to appear to add a missing address.

Sources told WISN this directive resulted in the inadvertent invalidation of thousands of ballots because clerks filled in the information themselves after the ballots were cast.

"The statute is very, very clear," retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman told WISN. "If an absentee ballot does not have a witness address on it, it's not valid. That ballot is not valid."

"In defiance of and direct contradiction to the statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance — that is, cover — to all 72 county clerks and turned the statute on his head," Gableman added. "They said, 'Gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but county clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness' address if there's no address on the absentee ballot."

German Doctors Write Letter to Chancellor Merkel: Put an End to the COVID ‘Fear Machine’

Dear Chancellor Dr. Merkel,

We, the signatories, are doctors from all areas of healthcare, who have been serving people in practices and clinics for decades. During this time, we have witnessed more than one seasonal infection in Germany, most of them with far more severe conditions and significantly more deaths than since January 2020 from COVID infectious diseases. Together we serve approx. 70.000 people.

The circumstances of the coronavirus wave in the FRG have been perceived differently than the media and the ongoing warnings of politics, which were unjustified in fact, presented to the public for months. Predictions of individual advisory virologists with millions of seriously ill and hundreds of thousands of deaths in Germany have not been true in any way.

In the practices, hardly any infected patients were infected and if, then with normal, mostly mild progressions of virus flu. The hospitals have been more empty than ever before. There was no overload of ICU. Doctors, doctors and nurses were skillful in short-term work.

Initially, we found the wave of the virus running towards us to be threatening and were able to understand the infection protection measures.

However, there are months of secured evidence and facts that this wave of the virus is only slightly more intense than an ordinary seasonal flu and must be considered much more harmless than, for example, influenza infection in 2017/2018 with 27.000 deaths in Germany.

According to the data situation, there hasn’t been a threat to the German population from Covid-19 for months.

This must be the reason to return to normal life in Germany – a life without restrictions, fear and infection hysteria.

“People” born in 1800 voting in Pennsylvanian

https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/people-born-in-1800-voting-in-pennsylvanian/

We need an election redo, not a recount

The furthest-left urban enclaves in America’s key swing states are clearly engaged in mass voter fraud, which is why many are now demanding an official recount. A much better option, though, is to simply hold a whole new election.

There comes a point when trying to accurately recount ballots, especially those that arrived in sealed envelopes from the mail, becomes improbable, if not impossible – and truth be told, we are already long past that point.

Keep in mind that hundreds of thousands of mystery ballots appeared in the middle of the night after the polls closed. A recount would capture these fraudulent votes alongside legitimate ones, producing the same questionable outcomes we are already witnessing.

Fixing the damage that has already been done will only be possible if the seven states Democrats appear poised to steal – Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia – are forced to redo their elections in a much more secure way, in other words.

The first thing that needs to go is mail-in voting, a highly insecure process that is easily tampered with, evidence shows. Unlike absentee voting, mail-in voting involves sending out ballots willy-nilly to all registered voters, rather than specifically to those who are out of town and request them.

Mail-in ballots are precisely what pushed Joe Biden over the top in most of the aforementioned swing states, as they were carted in under the cover of darkness and added to the official tallies without proper oversight or verification.

States can also not be allowed to count votes indefinitely, especially those that arrive long after the election has already ended. This is what has been taking place in Democrat strongholds like Detroit and Philadelphia, where ballot counting suddenly stopped for no reason, only to resume after new cartloads of mystery Biden ballots manifested in the middle of the night.

“… sorting out which ballots are legitimate and which are not in the wake of such widespread evidence of fraud is a tall order, and probably impossible on a state scale where officials have not acted in good faith,” writes Monica Showalter for American Thinker.

To preserve election integrity, Americans deserve a redo

Should the courts ultimately rule that an election redo is warranted, it would not be a first. North Carolina did it in 2018 after it was verified that a Republican congressional candidate engaged in illegal ballot harvesting.

A “well-funded and highly organized criminal operation,” much like the one that seems to be stealing votes for Biden, was exposed and uprooted in North Carolina, leading to an election redo that instilled confidence in voters by reassuring them that fraud will not be tolerated.

This is the only solution to America’s current conundrum which, if left to persist, will erode all of the remaining integrity that our election process still had prior this debacle.

The Trump administration is already promising to file legal challenges in every state where voter fraud is apparent. We hope the Trump team will demand not a recount but an election redo, as this is the only way to ensure that the integrity of our election process is both preserved and strengthened.

“Recounts are a fool’s errand,” Showalter warns. “Throwing out a bad election and ordering a new one, with hard observation on all sides, full transparency, and judicial supervision is frankly the far better solution, as it is the only way to restore confidence in the system.”

Erdogan Accepts Resignation of Turkish Finance Minister

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accepted the resignation of Finance Minister Berat Albayrak, the Turkish leader's office said in a statement.

The announcement of the resignation of Albayrak, who is Erdogan's son-in-law, due to health problems appeared on Sunday on the minister's Instagram amid a record depreciation of the Turkish lira.

"Berat Albayrak spread a message on social networks on November 8 about his resignation for health reasons. Our president considered this application and accepted the minister's resignation," the statement says.

​At the same time, Erdogan noted that thanks to the efforts of Albayrak, Turkey passed the period of the coronavirus pandemic with minimal losses, it says.

Erdogan replaced the head of Turkey's central bank on Saturday after the Turkish lira depreciated from 7.45 to 8.55 per US dollar over the past two months. Murat Uysal was replaced in this post by Naci Agbal.

The Turkish lira hit a new all-time low ahead of the announcement of the results of the US presidential election. Analysts believe that relations between Ankara and Washington could worsen if Democratic candidate Joe Biden wins.

Earlier, the fall of the Turkish lira was associated with the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the strong earthquake in Izmir and the economic crisis in Turkey amid the coronavirus pandemic.

US Police Chief Resigns Over Apparent Calls for Violence Against ‘Marxist Democrats’

An Arkansas police chief has resigned after he authored several posts on a right-wing social media website that called for violence against so-called “Marxist Democrats” in relation to US President Donald Trump losing the recent election, according to a recent statement from Marshall Mayor Kevin Elliott.

Elliot announced in a Saturday news release that he “strongly condemns” the online “bullying” and “threats of violence” tied to Lang Holland, the former police chief of Marshall, Arkansas.

“The Marshall community does not in any way support or condone bullying or threats of violence to anyone of any political persuasion! We condemn it!” he wrote.

The mayor’s comments came on the heels of tweets exposing posts authored by an account using Holland’s name and likeness on Parler, a social media website that promotes “free speech” and has a majority pro-Trump base.

“When this is over and Trump is president for 4 more years. Do not go to sleep,” user @Langholland wrote on the website. “Do not forget what these Marxist Democrat bastards have tried to do. When you see one in public get in their face do not give them any peace.”

Another post by the account declared, “Death to all Marxist Democrats.”

(2/n) These posts made Friday night quickly circulated social media.

The posts, as well as the @Langholland account, were removed from the platform hours later, according to KATV News’ Viktoria Capek.

A new profile, @Chieflangholland, was created soon after with private account settings.

KATV reported the new profile claimed to be “the real chief” and said the other account was an imposter, as he was a “protector of all citizens.”

Both accounts were inactive as of Saturday, according to the outlet.

“Upon my meeting with Mr. Holland he resigned as Police Chief for the City of Marshall effective immediately. Mr. Holland is no longer employed with the city,” Elliot wrote in the release.

Holland previously drew attention to the small city over the summer after he penned a news release stating his department would not be enforcing the face mask mandate imposed by Republican Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson.

“I Chief Lang Holland feel this order is a very large overreach of the powers given to State government by the citizens of the state of Arkansas,” he wrote in the July 17 release.

“It is a free country if you want to wear a mask wear one, if you do not want to wear one don’t wear one.”

Top USAID Official Tells Agency Leadership: ‘There Is No Transition In Place’

The acting deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, John Barsa, told colleagues on Monday that there will be "no transition" until the General Services Administration certifies the election results.

"You should be aware, the only official announcement about an election result that matters is from the head of GSA, so until the head of GSA makes a determination as to who won an election, nothing changes. There is no transition in place," Barsa told his colleagues, according to a recording of the call obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The General Services Administration is tasked with determining when an election winner has been "ascertained" and enabling a transition effort thereafter.

The White House intervened on Friday to save Barsa's job and keep him atop the agency. Because he had been serving as acting administrator, Barsa was slated to step down: Under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act, acting officials must step aside after 210 days. So the director of presidential personnel, John McEntee, fired deputy administrator Bonnie Glick, who was slated to take over the agency. Barsa is now serving as acting deputy administrator.

A spokeswoman for the agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On the same call, White House liaison Catharine O'Neill reiterated the White House's view that "the election is still happening."

"The Electoral College has not voted yet, so we are still here, business as usual, working for the president, and making sure that everything that we’re doing is to serve the president of the United States," she said.

McEntee is also warning political officials that anybody caught looking for a new job will be fired, according to CNN's Jake Tapper. McEntee himself, who previously served as body man to President Donald Trump, was escorted out of the White House in 2018 over an unspecified "security issue" and brought back earlier this year.

Barsa had a more muted warning for his colleagues: "D.C. is a really small town, sooner or later everyone gets outed for who they are," he told colleagues. "So until you are no longer in your role, please continue to carry out your duties with the same pride and enthusiasm you have always had for your jobs, don’t let anything distract you from the mission you have before you and the task the president has trusted you to execute. It’s a small town. Comport yourself in a manner that you’ll be proud of years from now."

Report: Big Tech, Media 'Stole the Election' by Burying Biden-China Scandal

In the critical weeks before Election Day, Big Tech and the legacy media took extreme measures to bury the unfolding story of Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s personal ties to his son Hunter’s notorious business deals in China, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Facebook and Twitter suppressed a New York Post story even before a fact-check, and legacy media outlets refused to cover the story even as evidence mounted. According to a blockbuster new poll, this unprecedented suppression of a bombshell story arguably cost President Donald Trump his reelection.

A Media Research Center (MRC) poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates found that 36 percent of Biden voters were not aware of the evidence behind claims that Joe Biden was personally involved in his son Hunter’s business deals with China. Thirteen percent of those voters (4.6 percent of Biden’s total vote) said that if they had known the facts, they would not have voted for Biden.

Such a shift away from Biden would have given Trump the election, according to MRC’s analysis of the preliminary — and contested — election results predicting a Biden win. Had the Biden-China story seen the light of day, Trump would have won the election with 289 electoral votes.

“It is an indisputable fact that the media stole the election,” MRC President Brent Bozell argued. “The American electorate was intentionally kept in the dark. During the height of the scandal surrounding Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, the media and the big tech companies did everything in their power to cover it up.”

Bozell noted that Twitter and Facebook limited sharing of The New York Post‘s bombshell report, while legacy media outlets largely ignored it. After the Post story failed to get the kind of traction many expected it would, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, came forward with firsthand knowledge — and evidence — tying Joe Biden to the notorious deals.

Democrats, former intelligence officials, and even the Biden campaign claimed — without evidence — that the evidence was “Russian disinformation.” Not only did numerous sources debunk that claim, but Vladimir Putin himself came out to vouch for Hunter Biden.

Even so, many media outlets refused to cover the story in the lead-up to the election.

“Now we know the impact of that cover-up,” Bozell argued. He noted that “4.6% of Biden voters say they would not have voted for him had they been aware of evidence of this scandal. This story would have potentially changed the outcome of this election. The media and Silicon Valley were fully aware of this, so they actively tried to prevent it from reaching the American public. The American people deserved to know the truth; now it’s too late.”

MRC and McLaughlin surveyed 1,000 actual voters (including early voters).

“At the time you cast your vote for President, were you aware that evidence exists in emails, texts, eyewitness testimony and banking transactions that the FBI has been investigating since last year directly linking Joe Biden to a corrupt financial arrangement between a Chinese company with connections to the Chinese communist party and Hunter Biden’s business, which may have personally benefitted Joe Biden financially?” the survey asked.

Perhaps surprisingly, 73 percent of respondents said they had heard about the allegations, while only 27 percent said they had not heard of them — a rather impressive showing for conservative media breaking through the Big Tech and legacy media efforts to bury the story. Yet 36 percent of Biden voters said they had not heard of the allegations.

Christian Porter was warned over public behaviour with young female staffer by then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull

Cabinet minister Christian Porter was warned by then-prime minister Malcolm Turnbull about his public behaviour with a young female Liberal staffer, because of Mr Turnbull's concerns he could be at risk of compromise or blackmail.

Key points:

Christian Porter was given a warning by Malcolm Turnbull after Mr Porter was spotted "kissing and cuddling" a young staffer at a Canberra bar

Another minister, Alan Tudge, angrily pressured a journalist to delete a photo of Mr Porter and the woman

Mr Tudge also had an affair with a staffer

A Four Corners investigation can reveal Mr Porter raised eyebrows among political staffers in 2017 after being seen with the young woman — who was working for another Cabinet minister — at Canberra's Public Bar.

At the time, Mr Porter had a wife and toddler at home in Perth.

Shortly before appointing Mr Porter to the role of Attorney-General, Mr Turnbull warned him he would be out of the ministry if he heard of this public behaviour with young female staff again.

The investigation can also reveal Mr Turnbull's infamous "bonk ban" was not just aimed at former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, but also at Mr Porter and the now-Acting Immigration Minister, Alan Tudge, who was having an affair with a female adviser in 2017.

Both Mr Porter and Mr Tudge have campaigned on family values.

Mr Turnbull described Mr Porter's conduct with young women as "unacceptable".

"I had a meeting with Porter in my office and I told him that I had had reports of him being out in public, having had too much to drink and in the company with young women," Mr Turnbull told Four Corners.

"He acknowledged that; he didn't argue with that.

"And I just said, 'Look, this is unacceptable conduct for a Cabinet minister and it exposes you to the risk of compromise.'"
