Democrat Governor Tony Evers Furious After Wisconsin Supreme Court Tosses Out His Latest Covid Stay-at-Home Order

The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday tossed out Democrat Governor Tony Evers’ Covid stay-at-home order.

The state Supreme Court ruled Tony Evers overstepped his authority when he unilaterally extended the lockdown order for another month without the legislature.

Evers, like other tyrants of yesteryear was angry that GOP legislators convinced the Supreme Court to toss out his authoritarian lockdown order.

“Today, Republican legislators convinced four members of the state Supreme Court to throw the state into chaos. They have provided no plan. There’s no question among anybody that people are going to get sick. Republicans own that chaos,” Evers said in a conference call.

The Washington Times reported:

The 4-3 ruling essentially reopens the state, lifting caps on the size of gatherings, allowing people to travel as they please and allowing shuttered businesses to reopen, including bars and restaurants. The Tavern League of Wisconsin swiftly posted the news on its website, telling members, “You can OPEN IMMEDIATELY!”

The decision let stand language that had closed schools, however, and local governments can still impose their own health restrictions. In Dane County, home to the capital of Madison, officials quickly imposed a mandate incorporating most of the statewide order. City health officials in Milwaukee said a stay-at-home order they enacted in late March remains in effect.

Chief Justice Patience Roggensack wrote for the majority that health secretary Andrea Palm’s order amounted to an emergency rule that she doesn’t have the power to create on her own.

“Rule-making exists precisely to ensure that kind of controlling, subjective judgement asserted by one unelected official, Palm, is not imposed in Wisconsin,” Roggensack, part of the court’s 5-2 conservative majority, wrote.

This isn’t the first time Wisconsin’s high court has tossed out Tony Evers’ authoritarian lockdown order for bypassing the state legislators.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court in May tossed out Evers’s Coronavirus lockdown order in a 4-3 decision, ruling it “unlawful” and “unenforceable.”

Democrat officials are issuing new Covid lockdown orders in order to prevent Trump supporters from rallying in support of Trump as he fights voter fraud in the courts.

Trump campaign enjoys minor victory in Pennsylvania lawsuit over voter ID

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s re-election campaign was handed a minor legal victory on Thursday when a Pennsylvania judge ruled that a small number of ballots be tossed, from people who did not provide ID by a Monday deadline.

The Pennsylvania appellate court ruling bars counties from including in their final tally mail-in ballots from people who failed to validate their identification against state records by Nov. 9.

It comes as Trump refuses to concede the election, claiming widespread fraud, and his campaign files lawsuits challenging the vote count in swing states.

Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar tried to extend that deadline to Thursday, but Commonwealth Court President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled she had no authority to do so.

It’s unclear how many votes will be scrapped but it will not make a difference in Joe Biden’s current 54,000-vote advantage over Trump in the Keystone State since they were never included in Pennsylvania’s official tally.

In Philadelphia, officials only found some 2,136 ballots where election officials were unable to verify the voter’s identification, often done with a driver’s license.

Nonetheless, Trump 2020 counsel Matt Morgan celebrated the ruling in a call with reporters, as “a win for the Trump campaign and voters alike” in the state.

Morgan said the ruling “supported our continued assertion that the Secretary of State continues to play fast and loose with statutory deadlines, and has done so throughout this entire election.”

Pennsylvania has been the focal point of the Trump campaign’s legal fight as they seek to claw back the commonwealth’s 20 electoral votes, claiming Pennsylvania was stolen from the president.

Commerce Department Stops Tik Tok Ban

The Commerce Department said Thursday that they are delaying the implementation of a regulation that would essentially shut down the Chinese-owned video app Tik Tok, the Wall Street Journal reported.

The regulation was set to take effect Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Under the law, Tik Tok would no longer appear on the app store, and all U.S. based companies would be prevented from offering it as a mobile app. Tik Tok would also be barred from using the web-hosting services of any U.S. based company, like Amazon and Alphabet, making the app essentially useless.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone in Philadelphia imposed a preliminary injunction against the shutdown after Tik Tok stars Douglas Marland, Cosette Rinab, and Alex Chambers filed a lawsuit, the Journal reported. Beetlestone said that the government likely doesn’t have the power to impose the Tik Tok ban because the regulation “presents a threat to the ‘robust exchange of informational materials’.” The International Economic Powers Act, which the Trump administration relied on to impose the regulation, did not grant the administration power to take action against Tik Tok, Beetlestone said.

The Commerce Department cited Beetlestone’s preliminary injunction when making their decision, saying in a statement that Tik Tok will not be shut down “pending further legal developments.”

Tik Tok also filed an injunction for the ban in U.S. District Court in Washington, the Journal reported. The video app is asking for an injunction from U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols because they say different plaintiffs who have different interests are involved in the Philadelphia case. Also, the preliminary injunction in the Philadelphia case “is, by definition, temporary,” Tik Tok said in a court filing. If it were lifted, it would be “leaving Tik Tok’s entire business in jeopardy.”

In an order issued in August, President Donald Trump said that the popular video sharing app would be banned in the U.S, citing security concerns. However, he said that he would consider approving a divestiture to a U.S. company, the Journal reported.

Tik Tok is “focused on continuing to engage CFIUS and look forward to reaching a resolution that addresses their security concerns, even as we disagree with them,” the company said in response to the Commerce Department’s actions Thursday.

MICHIGAN WITNESS: GOP Poll Challengers Were Assaulted at TCF Center trying to Protect the Vote

New Witness: GOP Poll Challengers were ASSAULTED when they tried to protect the vote!

This represents ANOTHER WITNESS who saw VOTER FRAUD!

GOP Challengers were prevented from seeing ballots!

GOP Challengers were ejected for no reason!

Detroit poll workers were HARDLINE DEMOCRATS

WITNESS SAYS: “THE MOST CROOKED THING I’VE EVER SEEN”

Witness says all the rules used to eject challengers weren’t applied evenly. PARTISAN HYPOCRISY!

Absentee ballots from Wayne County/Detroit were supposed to be counted by 8:00PM on election night last week, but a 3:30am delivery of what witnesses have described as 50-61 boxes of ballots puts into doubt the validity of the surprising election results. That surprise brought a commanding Trump lead of 300,000 votes for Michigan’s 16 electoral votes into a 120,000 vote deficit after votes from Wayne County were counted.

Ann Rudisill went down to the counting area after hearing that a large batch of suspicious ballots had arrived in the middle of the night. Rudisill noticed a total lack of security at the TCF Center when she entered. “There was no sign in sheet. There was nothing. Maybe a hundred of us walked in there.”

She described poll challengers as being purposefully prevented from being able to review the ballots as they were being counted on Wednesday, the day after the election, by poll workers and Democrat Poll Challengers. “I was completely unable to see the ballots.”

Rudisill described physical assaults against Republican poll challengers and herself when they attempted to document problems with the process at the TCF Center. The rules, according to Rudisill, were inconsistently enforced. She was told, “we don’t need Republicans here” according to her statement. “They looked at you like you were the lowest form of human being, and they didn’t care if they hurt you.” She described Democrats being excused for lunch and let back in, though Republicans were told that they would not be allowed re-entry for any reason.

Rudisill also pointed out the hypocrisy of COVID distancing requirements that apparently only applied to Republicans, considering that all the ballot counters, poll workers, and Democrat groups were not subject to the same requirements.

MY DAD WINS

Feinstein urges Graham to stop processing Trump judicial nominees 'now that the 2020 election has concluded'

She says the Judiciary Committee should hold off and allow Biden to make his own picks

Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) has written a letter to Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), urging her colleague to stop processing President Donald Trump's judicial nominees.

She says the panel should hold off on such business now that the election is over and allow Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to make his own picks.

What are the details?

"Now that the 2020 election has concluded, it is clear that the American people have overwhelmingly rejected a second term for President Trump," Feinstein began, before noting that Biden and his running mate, Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) "are already implementing their transition plan."

Although the presidential election is currently being contested in several lawsuits by the Trump campaign, which alleges voting irregularities and fraud, Feinstein pointed out that "the Biden-Harris ticket is on track to receive 306 electoral votes, and has already garnered the votes of more than 77 million Americans."

"In light of that," she wrote, "it is imperative that the Judiciary Committee cease to process judicial nominees and allow President-Elect Biden the opportunity to appoint judges following his inauguration on January 20, 2021."

Feinstein went on to write that there was precedent behind her argument, saying that "although processing judicial nominations is one of the Committee's principal responsibilities, the Committee's long and established tradition in presidential election years is to halt consideration of judicial nominees after Election Day."

California's senior senator noted that there have only been two exceptions to that since 1984: "Once in 2004, following President George W. Bush's reelection, and once in 2012, following the reelection of President Obama."

"Unlike Presidents Bush and Obama," she wrote, "President Trump has lost his reelection bid."

Courthouse News pointed out that Graham had already scheduled a nominations hearing for next week, prior to Feinstein's letter.

Appointing Trump's judicial nominees has been a priority of his administration and the Republican-controlled Senate.

NBC News reported in June that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had "confirmed 53 Circuit Court judges appointed by Trump in three-and-a-half years," noting for comparison:

"Obama confirmed 55 in all eight years of his presidency. For all judges, Trump has now confirmed 200. George W. Bush follows with 197 at this point in his presidency, and Bill Clinton with 186."

Emmanuel Macron says Biden presidency is chance to 'make our planet great again'

Biden has vowed to rejoin the Paris climate accord

French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday expressed his excitement over Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's promise to re-enter the U.S. into the Paris climate accord, describing the prospect as an opportunity to "make our planet great again."

Despite President Donald Trump contesting the election results following mainstream media's widespread declaration that Biden has won the White House, Macron joined world leaders this week in congratulating the Democrat on his win.

Reuters reported that Macron specifically hailed Biden's vow to re-enter the Paris climate accord, noting that the Democrat "has pledged to rejoin the pact and to invest $2 trillion to wean the country off planet-warming fossil fuels."

"It is proof that we had to stand firm against all headwinds," Macron said. "'Make our planet great again' is a possibility, not just in words but also in deed."

The U.S. officially withdrew from the multinational climate initiative on Nov. 4, the day after Election Day and three years from when Trump vowed to withdraw from the agreement that he saw as a bad deal for America.

As TheBlaze previously reported:

President Trump has been a staunch critic of the United States' participation in the international agreement, which commenced under the Obama administration, arguing it "hamstrings the United States while empowering some of the world's top-polluting countries."

Following America's departure from the accord, Biden said he would rejoin it on his first day in office, tweeting, "Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement. And in exactly 77 days, a Biden Administration will rejoin it."

Today, the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement. And in exactly 77 days, a Biden Admini… https://t.co/7dT22UeN7h

— Joe Biden (@Joe Biden)1604539080.0

Macron and Trump's differences on climate policy have been a sticking point in their relationship for years, leading Macron to create his play on the U.S. president's rallying cry to "Make America Great Again."

Politico reported in 2017:

When Trump announced in June that he would yank the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, Macron spied an opportunity: Within hours, his office took a poke at Trump, unveiling a social media campaign around the tongue-in-cheek slogan "Make Our Planet Great Again," complete with a website where U.S. climate researchers could apply for residency and work in France.

Behind the viral tweet, retweeted 235,896 times, Macron's political message was clear: France would lead the world on climate change research and technology, leaving the United States to choke on coal fumes.

Ghosts of the past come back to haunt PM

One day after Scott Morrison tried to bury the past, it came back with a force that is impossible to ignore.

The Prime Minister had a holding line on Tuesday about the behaviour of Christian Porter and Alan Tudge, the two ministers at the centre of new allegations about the culture of Parliament House.

"Those matters were addressed by my predecessor at the time," Morrison said. He dismissed the idea of an investigation into his ministers because the events had taken place two or three years ago, when Porter and Tudge answered to Malcolm Turnbull.

But the holding line did not hold for long. It was too flimsy to hold much, anyway. Within a day, it was clear the government would have to deal with formal complaints that were filed last week with the Department of Finance. The ghosts had come back from the grave.

Morrison now has damaged ministers in his cabinet. The questions about them are questions of character. The ABC’s Four Corners program on Monday night aired opinions and allegations that cannot be unsaid.

Porter denies breaching the code of conduct that bans ministers from having sex with their staff and rejects the ABC's depiction of events. But there are several witnesses to his time at the Public bar in Canberra with a young woman from another office in Parliament House. And the Four Corners claims about his university years, with lawyer Kathleen Foley describing him as sexist and misogynist, will leave a permanent mark.

Labor bans all MPs from sexual relationships with their staff

Porter is one of the government’s most capable ministers. He carries a bigger load than others – as Attorney-General, Industrial Relations Minister and the government leader in the House of Representatives – and is always across his brief.

But voters do not just assess what you do as minister – rightly or wrongly, they judge who you are. Porter has been named for years as a potential prime minister. Right now, that dream looks dead.

Tudge expressed regret about his behaviour soon after Four Corners revealed his affair with his former media adviser, Rachelle Miller. His supporters say the events are several years old – like Morrison, they want to leave the past behind him.

If only there was a statute of limitations on personal hurt.

Miller has lodged two complaints with the Department of Finance. In the first, she claims Tudge bullied and intimidated her while she worked for him – in fact, while she was also in a relationship with him. Tudge says he anticipates an inquiry on this.

Outsiders with USB’s and VCards Were Allowed in Pennsylvania Counting Areas with No Observers Present

An IT specialist reached out to the Gateway Pundit and provided more evidence regarding the weak and non-existent system controls in place in the Dominion voting machines and applications. These machines never should have been used in a Presidential election.

One IT system expert told us that he never would have approved the Dominion system for use. It is that bad. Another IT expert provided a review of Dominion based on a vendor user guide he obtained

In the audit report the auditor states:

The Secretary of State ran the Functional Test as if it were a jurisdiction that just purchased the voting system. Testing of the system began by setting up all equipment in a configuration that mirrored a production voting system. The DS5.10 architecture allows elections officials to use one or more, permanent server(s) and set of centraloffice voting devices, known to be running unaltered, certified software and firmware to create memory cards before each election and to use another, physically separate “sacrificial” server and set of voting devices after the election to tabulate results and generate reports. To transfer election specific data, the ICP2 machines utilize SD cards, the ICC and ICE machines utilize CF cards, and the ICX utilizes USB sticks. The election specific data (files) transferred on these cards are encrypted. An iButton is required to unencrypt the SD and CF cards for the ICP2, ICC, and ICE, and a smartcard is needed to unencrypt the USB sticks used to transfer data to the ICX machines. The key used for these devices can be unified or not. A unified key is one that is election specific. A key specific to that iButton (polling place specific) can be used also. This would prevent a malicious actor from accessing the entire system with just one key.

In the audit it is reported:

During the ICX source code vulnerability review, one potential vulnerability was discovered and the level of access required to take advantage of this potential vulnerability would be open to a variety of actors including a voter, a poll worker, an election official insider, and a vendor insider. This potential vulnerability has a more widespread potential. Polling place procedural controls are one method of mitigating this issue, with poll workers actively verifying that the USB ports are covered and the covers sealed to prevent access.

This means unless you block the USB ports they are at risk of being compromise. But then the report mentions the key control weakness in these machines:

Vote-stealing software could easily be constructed that looks for undervotes on the ballot, and marks those unvoted spaces for the candidate of the hacker’s choice. This is very straightforward to do on optical-scan bubble ballots (as on the Dominion ICE) where undervotes are indicated by no mark at all. The autocast configuration setting that allows the voter to indicate, “don’t eject the ballot for my review, just print it and cast it without me looking at it.” If fraudulent software were installed, it could change all the votes of any voter who selected this option, because the voting machine software would know in advance of printing that the voter had waived the opportunity to inspect the printed ballot.

Finally, in situations like in Arizona, where voters were given sharpies instead of pens, the Dominion system could identify ink types and kick these votes out of the system.

The Dominion system was ripe for fraud and never should have been allowed near the Democrat Party.

In the post above we shared a tweet whereRon@CodeMonkeyZstated that the local IT guy as the power to decide elections:

Zuckerberg Tells Employees Biden 'Is Going to Be Our Next President' - Report

Though Biden himself has declared victory in this election and even outlined his first steps in the White House, the official results of the presidential race are still to be announced.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes Democrat Joe Biden is going to be the next US president, according to an audiotape obtained by Buzz Feed News on Thursday.

"I believe the outcome of the election is now clear and Joe Biden is going to be our next president", Zuckerberg told his employees at a company town hall. "It's important that people have confidence that the election was fundamentally fair, and that goes for the tens of millions of people that voted for Trump."

Despite mainstream media projecting Biden's victory, incumbent US President Donald Trump says this year's presidential race was rigged by Democrats in favour of Joe Biden, citing witness accounts of mass election fraud and irregularities. Following preliminary polling results, Trump wondered why he was leading the former vice president in a number of states but within hours, the results showed Biden ahead.

According to Zuckerberg, Americans do have the right to challenge the credibility of the election results, but he says it is "unhelpful" that they are inspiring hopes the election outcome would be different "from what was projected".

However, a number of Facebook employees reportedly challenged Zuckerberg calling Biden the winner, while one of them said the election "wasn't fair".

Weeks before Election Day, Facebook introduced new restrictions, which prompted Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Zuckerberg to testify over acts of censorship and restrictions on free speech in October. President Trump, along with other Republicans, blasted Facebook for limiting the circulation of a New York Post story about potential corrupt dealings of Joe Biden and his son Hunter in Ukraine.

"We have seen Big Tech, we have seen Twitter and Facebook actively interfering in this election in a way that has no precedent in the history of our country", GOP Senator Ted Cruz said. "Never before have we seen active censorship of a major press publication with serious allegations of corruption of one of the two candidates for President."

In the House of Representatives, Republicans also called on their Democratic colleagues to hold a similar emergency hearing on "Big Tech's censorship and election interference".

On Wednesday, Facebook said it will continue to temporarily ban election-related advertisements at least for another month. Media reported that both Democrats and Republicans were concerned about political advertising being hidden due to the upcoming Senate runoffs in Georgia. On Tuesday, Facebook reportedly pulled several pages connected to ex-Trump administration chief strategist Steve Bannon for allegedly spreading misinformation about the 2020 presidential race.

In early November, the Washington Post reported how Facebook, which also owns Instagram, could use a "shadow-banning" technique against Trump and members of his family during the 2020 election campaign.
