Trump nominee to replace Amy Coney Barrett on appeals court sent to Senate

President Trump nominated his pick to fill the appeals court vacancy left by Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. A White House statement on Monday announced that the nomination of Thomas Kirsch II, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Indiana, was sent to the Senate for consideration. "Thomas L. Kirsch II, of Indiana, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit, vice Amy Coney Barrett, elevated," the statement said. The White House announced that Kirsch, an Indiana University and Harvard Law graduate, was Trump's pick for the vacancy weeks ago, but the notice on Monday now puts Kirsch's future in the hands of the Senate. Republicans currently hold a slight majority in the upper chamber of Congress, but runoffs in Georgia leave the balance of power in the upper chamber uncertain next year. After graduating from Harvard Law, Kirsch worked as a law clerk for Judge John Tinder in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. He was a partner in the Winston & Strawn law firm and worked in multiple roles at the Justice Department. He then went on to work as an assistant U.S. attorney in Indiana from 2001 to 2008, focusing on white-collar crime.

"Mr. Kirsch led numerous complex high-profile white collar investigations and has prosecuted offenses in numerous areas, including mail and wire fraud, honest services fraud, tax fraud, bank fraud, health care fraud, conspiracy, extortion, money laundering, racketeering, obstruction of justice, perjury, and gangs and narcotics," according to his biography on the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of Indiana website. "Mr. Kirsch has received numerous local and national awards, including the Department of Justice Director’s Award for Superior Performance and awards from The American Lawyer, The National Law Journal, Law360, and Benchmark Litigation. Mr. Kirsch is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers," the biography said. It wasn't immediately clear who would be picked to replace Kirsch in the U.S. attorney role if his nomination to the appeals court is confirmed.

Georgia Recount Reveals 2,600 Uncounted Ballots In Pro-Trump County

A recount of ballots in Georgia’s presidential race revealed more than 2,600 ballots in Floyd County that were never entered into the final tally. Floyd County Republican Party Chairman Luke Martin says the ballots, once counted, will likely give President Trump a roughly 800-vote bite into Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s roughly 14,000-vote lead, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Trump is currently leading Biden in Floyd County by a nearly 43% margin of difference. The recovered votes may also help out GOP Sen. David Perdue, who is roughly 14,000 votes away from securing 50% of the vote in his bid for reelection and avoiding a runoff against Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff. “It’s very concerning,” Martin said. “But this doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue. I’m glad the audit revealed it, and it’s important that all votes are counted.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office said the votes were missed because election workers failed to upload a memory card containing the votes into a ballot counting machine. The Floyd County discrepancy does not appear to be a widespread issue, the office of the secretary of state said. Floyd County has had other problems tallying votes this election cycle. About half of a batch of 5,000 ballots were not initially recorded after being missed by scanner. State Elections Director Chris Harvey said the 2,600 missed ballots will be added to the final vote count by the time the recount is over on Friday. “You want every vote counted right the first time, but that is one of the goals of the audit: to identify problems,” Harvey said. “All the votes will be uploaded, and the results will be what they are.” Raffensperger initiated the recount last week, saying it was necessary to restore voter confidence in the 2020 election results. “This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvas all at once,” Raffensperger said at the press conference. “It will be a heavy lift.”

The secretary of state had said just days after the election that the state was headed for a recount because the presidential race was so close. “Right now, Georgia remains too close to call,” Raffensperger said at a news conference on Nov. 6. “Out of approximately 5 million votes cast, we will have a margin of a few thousand. The focus for our office and for the county election officials for now remains on making sure that every legal is counted and recorded accurately.” Raffensperger has had a rocky election season and taken heated criticism from GOP and Democratic politicians and candidates running for election in Georgia. On Nov. 9, both of Georgia’s GOP senators, Kelly Loeffler and Perdue, echoed their Democratic challengers’ calls that Raffensperger should resign over errors in the state’s election process. “While blame certainly lies elsewhere as well, the buck ultimately stops with the Secretary of State. The mismanagement and lack of transparency from the Secretary of State is unacceptable. Honest elections are paramount to the foundations of our democracy,” Loeffler and Perdue said in a joint statement. “The Secretary of State has failed to deliver honest and transparent elections. He has failed the people of Georgia, and he should step down immediately.” Raffensperger hit back at the senators in his own statement, saying, “that is not going to happen. The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the one to fire me.”

Twitter accounts for Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Lin Wood were ‘search banned’ today

The self-proclaimed arbiters of truth in Big Tech want to keep the truth under wraps.

As accusations and lawsuits surrounding massive voter fraud in the 2020 elections continue to mount, many Trump-supporting observers have expressed concern over the lack of information available about one of the biggest scandals known so far. But according to the man President Trump placed in charge of his legal efforts to bring about a lawful conclusion to the election, some of the wait may be over soon. Unfortunately, you may not be getting the information if you receive your news from Twitter. Reports are coming in that the social media giant is suppressing and even censoring accounts and websites that bring attention to Dominion Voting Systems. Attorney Lin Wood‘s popular Twitter account was recently “search banned” on Twitter. As of yesterday, a search for a Tweet he posted about Dominion displayed his Tweet. Today, it’s not being found despite the Tweet still being live. According to Shadowban.eu, a service that checks for restrictions on Twitter accounts, Wood’s profile was hit.

Chatter across conservative Twitter DM rooms have been erupting all morning with anecdotal reports of similar situations. Some are being suspended. Others are being shadowbanned. The single common factor appears to be mentions of Dominion Voting Systems.

Twitter isn’t the only one committing this blatant censorship. WordPress, the technology that powers millions of major websites and that hosts The Conservative Treehouse, is deplatforming them: What does this mean? It means CTH is being kicked-off the WordPress website hosting platform because the content of our research and discussion does not align with the ideology of those who define what is acceptable speech and what is not. What was our violation? After ten years of brutally honest discussion, opinion, deep research and crowdsourcing work -with undeniable citations on the events we outline- there is no cited violation of any term of service because CTH has never violated one. The WordPress company is not explaining the reason for deplatforming because there is no justifiable reason for it. At the same time, they are bold in their position. Perhaps this is the most alarming part; and everyone should pay attention. They don’t care.

As we reported earlier today, we’ve heard from within the Trump camp that revelations would be released this week. We are expecting bombshells. The question that remains unanswered is if there are other major announcements coming or is the team focused mostly on the technological side of the effort. Dominion Voting Systems is at the center of the digital component of voter fraud that seems to have contributed greatly to former Vice President Joe Biden’s questionable “wins” in several key states. Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona are among the most focused upon races associated with Dominion, but the company’s reach extends to other swing states as well. Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin have districts that also use Dominion Voting Systems. General Michael Flynn’s attorney and member of the Trump legal team Sidney Powell has also been one of the most outspoken members of the Trump team, stating over the weekend that she was going to “release the Kraken.” Her account is also being “search banned.”

NOQ Report first reported on Dominion Voting Systems two days after the election following reports of a county in Michigan that had obvious challenges with how the votes were reported. Antrim County appeared to swing from red to blue, but closer examination of the voting system revealed a massive discrepancy. With a talented team of attorneys working to expose the Democrats’ shenanigans, it’s important for patriots to be patient and let the process work its way towards demonstrating a landslide for President Trump. Twitter is doing everything they can to slow the spread of voter fraud information. But they don’t control Rudy Giuliani. They don’t control Sidney Powell. They don’t control Lin Wood. And last I checked, Supreme Court Justices don’t call Jack Dorsey for legal advice.
