Democrats Elect Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House For Two More Years

 

House Democrats voted Wednesday to elect Nancy Pelosi (CA) as Speaker of the House for the 117th Congress.

 

“Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi, once again elected by House Democrats to be our fearless leader and nominee for Speaker of the House for the 117th Congress!” House Democrats said in a tweet on Wednesday.

 

Pelosi was visibly irritated last Friday morning when a reporter asked her if she takes any responsibility for the loss of House seats.

 

“Do you take any responsibility for the loss of House seats?” a reporter asked.

 

“I accept credit for winning the majority and holding the House,” Pelosi said with her arms up.

 

The Democrats got shellacked in the House because Americans rejected their Marxism and calls for abolishing the police.

 

According to the fake polls and lying pundits, the Democrats were supposed to expand seats in the House under Pelosi’s leadership.

 

That didn’t happen.

 

Republicans have actually flipped 12 seats red and may flip a few more.

Trump Campaign Files For Recount In Two Wisconsin Counties

 

Update (1110ET): The Trump campaign has filed a petition to recount two counties in Wisconsin - Milwaukee and Dane - alleging that absentee ballots were altered and improperly issued, and that voter ID laws were circumvented.

 

The Trump campaign is expected to file for a recount in the state of Wisconsin on Wednesday, a move which will cost the campaign up to $8 million in a state which Trump lost by just over 20,000 votes as of Wednesday - the closest margin out of the three Midwestern "blue wall" states" which flipped back after Trump won them in 2016.

 

Winning Wisconsin on a recount would give Trump just 10 electoral votes - not enough to retain the presidency, but it would be a decisive victory amid ongoing claims of election fraud and other irregularities throughout swing states. The campaign could shave money off the $7.9 million estimated cost if they file for recounts in select counties.

 

Recounts would need to start no later than Sunday and be finished by December 1st.

 

In addition to recounts, an audit of every November election is required by Wisconsin state law, whether requested by a candidate or not. According to the Star Tribune, "The audit will either take place as part of the recount or before the Dec. 1 certification if there is no recount, said Wisconsin Elections Commission spokesman Reid Magney. The audit of ballots from 190 randomly selected reporting units is done by hand to verify the machine count, Magney said."

Michigan Democrat State Rep.-Elect Telegraphs Threat to GOP Wayne County Canvasser’s Children in Racist Diatribe Over Vote Certification

 

Michigan Democrat state Representative-Elect Abraham Aiyash, 26, telegraphed a threat to the children of Republican Wayne County Board of Canvasser’s member Monica Palmer in a racist rant over Palmer’s initial vote to not certify the corrupt election results in the county which includes the city of Detroit. The poll books in Detroit are notorious for not matching the vote count. Last night the GOP canvassers decided to stop looking past the fraud and got railroaded into submission. Aiyash warned Palmer her children could face retribution from Black classmates in school as he named the school they likely attend. Aiyash wagged his finger at the camera as he intimated the threat.

 

(UPDATE at end: Aiyash denies.)

Aiyash made his remarks during a virtual meeting of the four member board comprised of two Republicans and two Democrats. The two Republicans initially voted against certification, however after threats were made online and during the meeting, a second vote was held off camera in which the two Republicans changed their vote and certified the election with a request that the Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson audit the county’s election.

 

Abraham Aiyash:

 

One quick point. So, uh, I am, I was on the ballot. And I am the state Rep.-elect for House District 4 and we have been without a state representative since March 29th because my friend and state representative (Rep. Isaac Robinson (D) passed away from COVID-19. Now your refusal to certify the election today, despite me not having any challenger on the ballot for the partial term, despite having no one file to run as a write-in, will continue to deny the people of House District 4 of Hamtramck in Detroit, that is majority Black, to have a voice in the state legislature.

“I Think We’ll Find He Had At Least 80 Million Votes!” Sidney Powell on The Magnitude of President Trump’s 2020 Win

 

Sidney Powell went on Newsmax Tuesday night and discussed the efforts of the Trump team to stop the attempted steal of the US Election by the Biden Campaign.

 

The great attorney of General Michael Flynn and now President Trump. Sidney Powell, was on with Greg Kelly on Newsmax last night and she discussed the colossal corruption that was used in the 2020 election to steal the election for Joe Biden. She shared:

 

 

And the will of the people in this country was that Donald Trump win in a landslide. If we can get to the bottom of it, and I am determined to do that, I think we’ll find he had at least 80 million votes.

 

The only reason the glitches happened in the system is because he was so, had so far many more votes than they had calculated in advance. Their algorithms wouldn’t perform the functions they had originally performed that were set to perform. They couldn’t make up the vote count. He gotten so many hundreds of thousands more than they planned. So that’s when they had to stop the counting and come up with a way to back-fill votes or destroy votes for Trump while they fabricated votes for Biden.

 

Sidney Powell confirmed what we have been reporting – that large dumps of hundreds of thousands of votes were recorded early in the morning after the election in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan. After these dumps were recorded, in all of these states nearly every entry of new votes came in at an exact percent in hundreds of entries with Biden leading Trump by the same percent (i.e. 51% to 49%, Biden to Trump).

 

Again, we found that after Biden was finally (given) the lead, almost every single entry after that was at the same ratio of Biden to Trump votes in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan:

 

The Biden election steal is the boldest and most corrupt action in US history. This even far exceeds the Russia collusion scam.

‘Merkel must go, democracy must stay!’ Anti-lockdown protesters detained, doused with water cannon at central Berlin rally

 

Protesters have taken to the streets in downtown Berlin to denounce a bill that would enshrine lockdown measures into German law. The police detained several people and deployed water cannons when the crowd refused to leave.

 

Thousands have gathered at the iconic Brandenburg Gate, which is located in the heart of Berlin, near the country’s parliament building, the Bundestag. Protesters held signs reading “Wake Up,”“Free Speech,” and “For Enlightenment. Peace and Freedom.”

 

One person carried a banner with the words “Merkel must go, democracy must stay!” referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel.

 

Barricades were set up to prevent protesters from getting too close to the Bundestag. The police were filmed detaining several people.

Officers complained that some demonstrators were violating Covid-19 restrictions by not wearing masks, and warned that “the use of water cannon cannot be ruled out” if they had to disperse the crowd.

 

Water cannons were later deployed when protesters refused to leave.

Officials had previously rejected a dozen applications to rally outside the parliament building. In a letter to MPs obtained by the media, the police warned about possible “attacks” on the Bundestag. There were attempts to break into the building during a similar demonstration in August.

Lawmakers are expected to pass a bill on Wednesday that would write a long list of concrete quarantine measures, such as mask-wearing and social distancing rules, into the country’s existing law on protection from infections.

 

The government argues that the change is necessary if there is to be a robust response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Critics say the bill was put forward in a rushed manner and would give the government too much power in regulating the lives of ordinary people.

 

Germany has been living under a month-long nationwide lockdown since November 2. People are being encouraged to stay home, restaurants and bars remain closed, and public meetings are limited to just two households of up to 10 people in total. The tougher measures were introduced in response to the growing coronavirus infection rate.

US plan for containing China relies on taming international organizations and reeducating Americans, leaked doc reveals

 

The US State Department has outlined a ‘Kennan-style’ China containment policy, which it hopes will help undercut its economic strength and maintain a Washington-led world order, a leaked paper has revealed.

 

The 70-page document called “The Elements of the China Challenge” was prepared by the State Department's Office of Policy Planning and published by Axios on Tuesday. The plan goes along the lines of the “Long Telegram,” a 1940s foreign-policy blueprint authored by then-US ambassador to the Soviet Union George Kennan, who described the country as “impervious to logic of reason” but “highly sensitive to logic of force” and advocated its containment.

 

“The Elements of the China Challenge” is full of conservative undertones and promotes American exceptionalism, but doesn’t fully go into the realm of the “clash of civilizations.” That framing was noticeably voiced by the former head of the Office of Policy Planning, Kiron Skinner, who’d initially led the work on the plan. Last year she compared her country’s competition with the USSR to the unfolding rivalry with China, saying the former was “a fight within the Western family” while the latter is “striking” in the sense that “it's the first time that we will have a great power competitor that is not Caucasian."

Communist villains

 

The new State Department paper says it was time to dispel “the starry-eyed optimism about [China] that has distorted US policy” towards it for many years. Washington should consider China a threat to “established world order,” driven by “a distinctive blend of Marxism-Leninism and … an extreme version of Chinese nationalism” of the ruling Communist party.

 

It says China by nature has inherent weaknesses, including constraints on innovation, difficulties in forming alliances, demographic imbalance, environmental degradation, persistent corruption and the costs of maintaining order at home, or, as the document describes it, “monitoring, censoring, and indoctrinating 1.4 billion people in China.”

 

There is also “the illness, death, and social and economic devastation wrought worldwide by the Covid-19 pandemic born in Wuhan,” which, according to the State Department, has led to international anger over Beijing’s “contempt for human life, indifference to other nations’ well-being, and disregard for international norms and obligations.”

 

The document stresses that Washington blames China’s leadership rather than the Chinese culture. “Freedom and democracy” can flourish in China “as they do in Taiwan and South Korea, and did in Hong Kong,” it says.

Securing US-led world order

 

Tackling the “China challenge” will require a “multi-pronged approach” that “will enable the United States to secure freedom” at home and for the rest of the world. The State Department lists ten points of action necessary to contain China.

 

At home Washington needs to “preserve the constitutional order,”“foster a growing economy based on a free market” and “cultivate a vibrant civil society.” It needs to “maintain the world’s most powerful, agile, and technologically sophisticated military” to protect America’s commercial interests.

England’s Test and Trace head told to self-isolate by her own service

 

Baroness Dido Harding, who is the head of England’s NHS tracking service, revealed on Wednesday morning that she had been told to self-isolate after being contacted by her own service’s app.

 

Harding tweeted out “nothing like personal experience of your own products”, revealing she needs to self-isolate until midnight on 26th November after coming into contact with someone who’s tested positive for coronavirus.

 

Nothing like personal experience of your own products ….got this overnight. Feeling well. Many hours of Zoom ahead. pic.twitter.com/Ims9W9gbQh

— dido harding (@didoharding) November 18, 2020

 

The NHS app alerts other users if they have spent 15 minutes or more within two meters of someone who has tested positive for the virus. Under the government’s guidelines, if you are contacted by the app, you must isolate for 14 days from the last time you met with the infected individual.

 

The news comes after Baroness Harding’s husband John Penrose, a Conservative MP and former minister, revealed on Monday that he was already in self-isolation after being contacted by the app. Penrose is one of 11 Conservative MPs, including the Prime Minister, who are self-isolating after an event at Downing Street.

 

The Baroness has faced criticism over her appointment to oversee England’s coronavirus tracing program due to her perceived lack of experience in the field and the repeat failure of the service to reach its required target of contacts reached, delays in results and test centers finding it challenging to meet demand.

 

The most recent set of NHS figures, for the week ending 4th November, showed that only 60.4% of contacts of people who tested positive for coronavirus were reached, making it one of the lowest rates since the service launched in May.

Kayleigh McEnany blasts 'Orwellian' COVID-19 Thanksgiving restrictions

 

McEnany criticized Oregon's two-week 'freeze' limiting in-home gatherings

 

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday blasted some state coronavirus restrictions on Thanksgiving gatherings as "Orwellian," decrying threats of arrest from some state officials for those who gather for dinner in greater numbers than the state will permit.

 

Appearing on Fox News' "Fox & Friends," McEnany was asked by co-host Steve Doocy about "suggestions and guidelines" issued by some governors that limit the size of private gatherings because of spiking coronavirus cases as families prepare to celebrate the holidays.

 

"I think a lot of the guidelines you're seeing are Orwellian," McEnany said.

 

She pointed Doocy to CDC guidelines on wearing a mask and social distancing before arguing that Americans, as a free people, should be trusted to take care of themselves without threats from the government.

 

"The American people know how to protect their health. We've dealt with COVID for many months," she continued. "But it's Orwellian in a place like Oregon to say, 'If you gather in numbers more than six, we might come to your house and arrest you, and you get 30 days of jail time.' That's not the American way. We don't lose our freedom in this country. We make responsible health decisions as individuals."

 

Last week, Oregon Democratic Gov. Kate Brown announced a two-week "freeze" to slow the spread of coronavirus. The freeze went into effect Wednesday, limiting the size of at-home, social, and worship gatherings. Additionally, in-door dining has been shut down at restaurants, workplaces that are able have been ordered to mandate work-from-home, and gyms, museums, zoos, and indoor recreation facilities have been closed.

 

Tomorrow begins the statewide Two-Week Freeze. I know this will be difficult but Oregonians come together in times… https://t.co/uLAdFx7Ws4

— Governor Kate Brown (@Governor Kate Brown)1605655550.0

 

A press statement from the governor noted that "all of the freeze measures are enforceable by law upon both individuals and businesses," but emphasized that the governor is "urging voluntary compliance."

 

"I expect local law enforcement to continue to use an education first approach, but Oregonians need to understand that these rules are enforceable under law. A large majority of Oregonians continue to do the right thing to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their neighbors," Brown said.

 

"However, when Oregonians don't take COVID-19 seriously, and don't take steps to reduce the spread of the disease, they put all of us at risk. We need all Oregonians to use common sense, make smart choices, and take seriously their individual responsibilities during a public health emergency."

 

Violations of the governor's executive order could result in citation, fine, or arrest, but state law enforcement has been instructed to take matters that far only as a last resort, KATU-TV reports.

 

Doocy asked a follow-up question, noting that "nobody likes to have anybody tell people what they can and cannot do inside their houses" but that the Trump administration deferred to state and local authorities to enact coronavirus restrictions.

 

"Ultimately, didn't the White House say, 'Do what you want to do?'" Doocy asked.

 

"Yeah, of course. It's up to every state to do what they want to do, but there are consequences for those states," McEnany replied, noting that hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers have fled the city over the past eight months during the pandemic.

 

"The American people are a freedom-loving people," she continued. "We can make good decisions. We can wash our hands, wear masks, socially distance. But we can also decide in our own personal domicile, our own home, whether we can have our family members present at any given time. That is the American way. That is freedom."

PA Rep. Mike Kelly: Same People Criticizing Trump, GOP for Questioning Election Results Peddled Russia Collusion Hoax

 

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) pushed back on Democrats and their allies in the media who have criticized the Trump campaign for questioning the election results and pursuing efforts to ensure election integrity, telling Breitbart News that they are the same group of individuals who have struggled to accept President Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as legitimate and spent years peddling the Russia collusion hoax.

 

Kelly, who recently introduced the Protect Election Integrity Act of 2020 as a companion piece to Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) measure in the upper chamber, told Breitbart News in a Tuesday interview that Trump has “every right to question what’s going on and to look at anything that could have possibly happened in this election.”

 

The same people who spent years attempting to delegitimize Trump’s presidency — even moving forward with a failed attempt to remove him from office — are now the individuals telling Trump and his supporters to accept the results of the election as is, he explained.

 

“What the American people have been through since 2016, a party that has questioned since the day that the president was elected — when he was president-elect Trump, every day including today — that it was an illegitimate election. That somehow Trump was elected and shouldn’t have been elected. These are the same people that are now saying, ‘Well why can’t you just accept what the networks are telling you? Why are we questioning these things? You have no proof.'”

 

“I said really? What was the Russia collusion? What was that? What proof did we have there? Really? So the phone call to the Ukraine president,” he said, mentioning the Democrats’ failed impeachment effort.

 

“There is a lot we need to question in this election and the President of the United States, the sitting president, has every right to question what’s going on and to look at anything that could have possibly happened in this election,” Kelly said, emphasizing that Democrats should welcome the checks and balances.

 

“In fact, I think if I were a Democrat, and I was confident that it was on the up and up, I would ask for that kind of scrutiny to take place. As you remember, the Russia collusion, the investigation into that, took place while President Trump was in office. That wasn’t an odd thing. That was actually, the administration itself, when you look at how that all came about, when you look at it, you start to think to yourself, ‘My gosh. This is so one-sided, and there’s such a double standard right now,'” he said.

 

Kelly, however, believes that the American people see the double standard and simply expect fairness and equality in our election process.

 

“For anybody to deny somebody’s looking into something and say, ‘Well they just need to accept this … they’re ruining our faith in the system.’ Say, ‘Really, no. Questioning it didn’t ruin it,'” Kelly said.

 

The Pennsylvania lawmaker, who described the situation in Pennsylvania as a “hot mess,” said a number of people have approached him, telling him that lawmakers “can’t let this happen” and asking what he plans to do about the integrity of the election moving forward. One of his answers is found in his Protect Election Integrity Act of 2020, which would amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002, requiring states to implement a series of election procedures. That includes a ban on ballot harvesting and guaranteed access for poll watchers.

Dominion Voting Systems Is Not PCI Compliant and Failed 10 of 12 Requirements

 

The ElectionsOnline HOA software uses online voting and PDF postal mail voting.

 

They are compliant and follow all Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards for all their voting data, especially things through the net. They treat votes just as important as money.

 

Dominion Voting Systems is not PCI compliant and fails 10 of the 12 requirements.

 

So the $800 HOA voting software is clearly more secure than the $800,000 government software. Think on that!

 

The 12 requirements for Payment Card Industry compliance are:

 

1. Firewalls: block access of foreign or unknown entities attempting to access data (FAIL)

  1. Proper Password Protections – (FAIL: many share same password)

  2. Protect Voter/Cardholder Data – (FAIL: data dumps of private voter data)

  3. Encrypt Transmitted Data – N/A

  4. Use and Maintain Anti-Virus – on all devices that interact with net or data (FAIL: has malware)

  5. Properly Updated Software – Firewalls & anti-virus and patches for vulnerabilities (FAIL)

  6. Restrict Data Access – strictly “need to know” only (FAIL: many externals have access)

  7. Unique IDs for Access – creates less vulnerability, quicker response time (FAIL)

  8. Restrict Physical Access – secure locked locations, logs any access (FAIL: can access hardware or software)

  9. Create and Maintain Access Logs – use special software to log access & accuracy (FAIL: can alter logs)

11. Scan and Test for Vulnerabilities – Done regularly (FAIL: years pass with same issues)

12. Document All Your Policies – For flow, storage, access, etc.

 

It is very disturbing that elections officials would choose Dominion Voting Systems for their communities considering its poor ratings and likelihood of fraud.

MI Gov. Whitmer on Lockdown: ‘Incredible Empathy’ for Small Businesses Hurting but ‘We Have to’ Combat COVID Spread

 

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Wednesday discussed her recently announced coronavirus lockdown that will reportedly “temporarily halt in-person instruction at high schools and colleges, dine-in service at restaurants and bars, and high school athletics as well as close some businesses, including movie theaters, bowling alleys and casinos.”

 

Despite pushback from small business owners, Whitmer told CNN’s “New Day” the decision to enter the three-week shutdown is necessary to “combat the spread” before hospitals get overwhelmed and deaths spike. She also blamed the lack of strategy on the national level for having to close businesses such as restaurants.

 

“First, let me say, you know, the restaurant industry has really had a tough year because of COVID because there’s not been a national strategy and we have seen COVID just explode across the country in waves,” Whitmer outlined. “This is really driven by our epidemiologists and our public health experts that tell us it’s inherently dangerous with the kind of community spread that we have all across Michigan and all across the Midwest and, frankly, all across the country. The inherently dangerous situations are when you are inside with people from a different household or many different households for a prolonged period of time with masks off. That’s what happens in restaurants, and that’s why it’s really going to be critical that the feds get their act together and give us some stimulus support for these small businesses, for these restaurant workers.”

 

She continued, “I have incredible empathy for what [small businesses are] struggling with, and yet we have to follow the epidemiology, the public health experts and make decisions that combat the spread before our hospitals get overwhelmed and before we hit 1,000 deaths a week in Michigan because that’s what the modeling is telling us where we’re headed right now.”

China Berates Australia: Bow Down to Beijing’s Might and Ignore the U.S.

 

The new defense pact between Australia and Japan signed Tuesday in Tokyo has been dismissed as “dangerous” by Chinese state-owned media, which warns any resistance to Beijing is futile and will come at a heavy cost.

 

The Reciprocal Access Agreement will enable Australian warships and aircraft to operate further north and offer greater legal protection for service personnel across both countries, offering a crucial counterbalance to Beijing’s military which has expanded and advanced rapidly in recent years.

 

It was signed during Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga in Tokyo.

 

But the Global Times, official mouthpiece of the Chinese communist dictatorship, said the U.S. allies were forcing Beijing to explore deeper military co-operation with other nations by their actions.

 

“We suggest Japan and Australia exercise restraint on the way to form a quasi military alliance against China,” it wrote on Tuesday night. “They will surely pay a corresponding price if China’s national interests are infringed upon and its security is threatened.”

 

The Global Times condemned both nations for “recklessly” taking the first step to conduct deep defence co-operation that targets a third party, and accused them of shifting the responsibilities of safeguarding regional unity to China.

 

“This is not only unfair, but also very dangerous,” it wrote. “China is unlikely to remain indifferent to U.S. moves aimed at inciting countries to gang up against China in the long run. It’s inevitable that China will take some sort of countermeasures.”

 

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian also entered the fray during his daily news conference on Tuesday, the South China Post reports.

 

He made it plain there was disappointment at Australia’s continued challenges to China’s presumed authority in the Indo/Pacific region as well as Canberra’s ban on Chinese companies contributing to Australia’s 5G telecommunications network.

 

The Australian government’s call for China to explain its bungled handling of the deadly coronavirus pandemic could spark a boycott by Chinese consumers. https://t.co/OxT3IvMQo7

 

— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) April 27, 2020

 

“(They) have subsequently taken a series of wrong moves related to China, which is at the root cause of China-Australia relations taking a sharp downturn and stuck in the current difficult situation … the responsibility for causing this situation doesn’t lie with China at all,” Zhao said.

 

He then described three areas in which Australia had displeased the Chinese communists.

 

The first was Morrison’s decision to call for an international inquiry into the source of the coronavirus outbreak and China’s subsequent sloppy handling of the crisis.

 

“(This) seriously interfered with international cooperation on pandemic prevention and control,” he claimed.

 

The spokesman then denounced Australia for its attempts to crack down on alleged foreign interference in its domestic politics, a campaign Beijing believes was targeted at China.

Finally Zhao berated Australia for repeatedly commenting on human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, as well as the Chinese military’s threatening behavior toward the independent state of Taiwan, as Breitbart News reported.

 

“These practices have grossly interfered in China’s internal affairs and seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese people,” Zhao said.

German Migrant Taxi NGO Adds New Larger Ship To Be Launched in 2021

 

 

German migrant transport NGO Sea-Eye has purchased a new vessel, larger than their current ship, and plans to begin missions in the Mediterranean in 2021.

 

The ship, which is the fourth vessel purchased by the NGO, is set to be named the Sea-Eye-4 and is much larger than the current ship used by the NGO, the Alan Kurdi.

 

According to a report from Deutsche Welle, the ship has been financed in large part by the United4Rescue group, a Hanover-based association that describes itself as a “broad alliance to support civilian sea rescue.”

“We unite all social organisations and groups that do not want to stand idly by and watch the thousands of deaths in the Mediterranean,” the group states on its website.

 

United4Rescue states that the new ship is 60 meters long and 11 meters wide but does not list how many migrants are able to be accommodated per trip, simply stating: “the aft deck offers sufficient space for the safe accommodation of the rescued, who often have to spend several days or even weeks on board.”

 

According to Sea-Eye themselves, the ship will also be outfitted to deal with migrants who may be potentially infected with the Wuhan coronavirus.

 

Earlier this year, Italian doctor Caterina Ciufegni, who worked for Sea-Eye at the time, played down concerns over the coronavirus saying, “Facing people who run away from torture, coronavirus takes second place. I think we all accepted the risk.”

The new vessel comes as migrant landings have surged in the Mediterranean, particularly in Italy where the island of Lampedusa has seen hundreds of migrants arrive, sometimes withinin a period of only a few days at a time.

 

While Italian authorities have made some attempts to hinder migrant taxi NGOs after the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus, some, such as the Spanish NGO Open Arms, remains operating off of the Libyan coast. On Saturday, Open Arms transferred 255 migrants to Italian authorities in Sicily.
