Kellyanne Conway says Trump has the right to sue over the election, but ‘it looks like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will prevail’

"You always need a peaceful transfer of democracy"

Kellyanne Conway said that although President Donald Trump had the right to exhaust every legal option he has, that it appeared that former Vice President Joe Biden had win the election.

Conway made the comments in an interview with 19th News on Friday.

"If you look at the vote totals in the Electoral College tally, it looks like Joe Biden and [Sen.] Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) will prevail," said Conway. "I assume the electors will certify that and it will be official. We, as a nation, will move forward, because we always do."

Conway made history when she became the first female campaign manager to run a winning presidential election in 2016. She had voraciously defended the president as a member of his administration but later left her position to look after her family.

"You always need a peaceful transfer of democracy, no matter whose administration goes into whose administration. There's no question," she added.

She noted that Trump did not stand in the way of the GSA beginning the official transition process from his administration to Biden's administration.

"The president wants to exhaust all of his legal avenues, as he has made clear many times. His team is doing that, I see in the paper they're doing that, they're going to different states and trying to do that, and of course, that is his right," she said.

The president is pursuing several legal avenues in order to prove his contention that the election was stolen from him through fraud. On Friday the speaker of the House in Arizona, who is a Republican, rebuffed demands that the legislature call a special session in order to award the state's electoral votes to Trump.

Conway also said she would work with the future administration if they needed her help. "If there's anything I can ever do to help," she added, "they can count on me."

Here's the video of Conway's comments:

Biden Taps Former Chinese Tech Mogul For Trade Transition

Ted Dean managed company tied to Chinese Communist Party

President-elect Joe Biden tapped a businessman and lobbyist with ties to Chinese Communist Party-run technology firms to help lead a trade agency review team.

Ted Dean joined Biden’s agency review team for the Office of the United States Trade Representative in November. A former Obama administration bureaucrat, Dean also worked for multiple organizations that dealt with the business and technology arms of the Chinese Communist Party. Dean served as the principal and president of a large Chinese tech consulting firm, as well as the chairman of a China-friendly business lobbying organization.

From 1999 to 2013, Dean held leadership roles at BDA China Limited, a company focused on "advising on investments in China’s consumer sector," according to the company’s website. BDA scrubbed details from its site describing how the company was founded following a conference hosted by the Chinese government. While BDA has not publicly disclosed its Chinese clientele, a 2016 New York Times report said BDA helped raise capital for state-owned enterprises including China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile. China Unicom and China Telecom were named in April as companies that are vulnerable "to the exploitation, influence, and control of the Chinese Communist Party," according to Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai. Congress moved Tuesday to punish China Mobile for its noncompliance with American regulatory policies.

The Biden transition team did not respond to requests for comment about Dean's business activities.

Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.) panned Dean’s selection, saying it indicates a Biden administration would take a less aggressive approach to America's chief geopolitical rival.

"There are already several potential appointees whose coziness with China would disqualify them from working in a normal administration. But this administration’s stance towards China isn’t normal," Banks said. "Joe Biden is poised to undo consensus U.S. foreign policy which treats China as our foremost global adversary. Why? I’m not sure. But I do know Biden’s financial ties to China predate his recent cabinet picks and involve people a lot closer to Joe Biden than any cabinet appointee."

BDA hired multiple other figures with links to the Chinese Communist Party and tech giants during Dean's tenure, which ended when he joined the Obama administration in 2013. Duncan Clark, the chairman and founder of BDA, touted his association with Jack Ma, a Chinese Communist Party member and founder of Chinese e-commerce supergiant Alibaba. Clark wrote a fawning biography of Ma and his approach to Chinese industry titled Alibaba: The House That Jack Ma Built, published in 2016. BDA managing director Lei Shi joined the consulting firm by way of Chinese telecom giant Huawei in 2008. At Huawei, Shi worked on projects in the Middle East and China. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called Huawei and other Chinese companies "Trojan horses for Chinese intelligence" in February. Several Western nations have banned Huawei from operating within their borders because of national security concerns.

China is massively expanding its weather-modification program, saying it will be able to cover half the country in artificial rain and snow by 2025

China's government has announced that it is expanding its weather-control project, which creates artificial rain and snow, by fivefold.

The State Council said Tuesday the project will soon cover 2.1 million square miles and be ready by 2025. That is about 56% of China's entire surface area.

China is one of dozens of countries using "cloud seeding" to try and manufacture good weather conditions for crops or to prevent natural disasters.

"Cloud seeding" involves spraying chemicals like silver iodide or liquid nitrogen into clouds, where water droplets condense and fall.

China is massively expanding its weather-control project, and is aiming to be able to cover half the country in artificial rain and snow by 2025, the government said Tuesday.

The practice of "cloud seeding" was discovered in the US in 1946 by a chemist working for General Electric. China launched its own similar program in the 1960s.

Dozens of other countries — including the US — also have such programs, but Beijing has the world's largest, employing around 35,000 people, The Guardian reported.

In a statement, China's State Council said that the country's cloud seeing project will expand fivefold to cover an area of 2.1 million square miles and be completed by 2025. (China encompasses 3.7 million square miles, meaning the project could cover 56% of the country's surface area.)

The project will be at a "worldwide advanced level" by 2035, the State Council said, and will help alleviate "disasters such as drought and hail" and facilitate emergency responses "to forest or grassland fires."

Are Bill Gates’s Billions Distorting Public Health Data?

Thanks to the Microsoft founder’s support, the IHME can make its own rules about how to track global health. That’s a problem.

Aperennial feature of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the guessing game of whether things are getting better or worse—and how policy approaches (masks, shutdowns) and changes in the weather will affect the coronavirus. Dozens of research institutes have published educated guesses about what’s coming next, but none have had the impact or reach of the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

In the early days of the pandemic, the IHME projected a far less severe outbreak than other models, which drew the attention of Donald Trump, who was eager to downplay the danger. At a March 31 press briefing, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, Debbie Birx, with the president at her side, used IHME charts to show that the pandemic was rapidly winding down.

““Throughout April, millions of Americans were falsely led to believe that the epidemic would be over by June because of IHME’s projections,” the data scientist Youyang Gu noted in his review of the institute’s work. “I think that a lot of states reopened based on their modeling.”

The IHME brushed aside the widespread criticism that emerged—“Many people do not understand how modeling works,” its director, Chris Murray, explained in a Los Angeles Times op-ed—and continued to push headline-grabbing projections that drew alarm from its peers. For example, while many researchers limit their projections to a few weeks into the future, Murray used his regular appearances on CNN to chart the course of the pandemic many months in advance, putting the IHME’s highly contested estimates in a position to guide policy-making ahead of other models.

“It seems to be a version of the playbook Trump follows,” says Sam Clark, a demographer at Ohio State University. “Absolutely nothing negative sticks, and the more exposure you get, the better, no matter what. It’s really stunning, and I don’t know any other scientific personality or organization that is able to pull it off quite like IHME.”

The institute’s uncanny resilience, unconventional methods, and media savvy have long made it controversial in the global health community, where scholars have watched its meteoric rise over the past decade with a mix of awe and concern. Years before Covid, the IHME gained outsize influence by tracking hundreds of diseases across the planet and producing some of the most cited studies in all of science.

Yale Law Center: Fedcoin Will Make Bitcoin Obsolete

As talk continues to intensify about the Federal Reserve introducing its own e-currency, what would happen to Bitcoin under such circumstances?

Three academics at Yale University, Sahil Gupta, Patrick Lauppe and Shreyas Ravishankar put out a paper in 2017, Fedcoin: A Blockchain-Backed Central Bank Cryptocurrency, where they attempt to answer that question.

This is their conclusion:

Our digital money, locked up in private ledgers and exchanged through dozens of heterogenous databases en route from creditor to debtor, lacks the speed, stability, scalability, and security of a good cryptocurrency. A successful Fedcoin would make bank notes, credit card companies, and Bitcoin obsolete, while transforming the nation’s medium for money.

As I have previously written, a Federal Reserve created digital coin could be one of the most dangerous steps ever taken by a government agency. It would put in the hands of the government the potential to create a digital currency with the ability to track all transactions in an economy—and prohibit transactions for any reason.

This is even more reason to end the Fed.

Foul play suspected in deaths of decorated master sergeant, veteran at Fort Bragg

The bodies of the two men were discovered in a training area

Foul play is suspected in the deaths of a master sergeant and an Army veteran whose bodies were discovered Wednesday in a training area at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

The deceased were identified as Master Sergeant William J. Lavigne II, 37, and veteran Timothy Dumas, 44.

No weapon was found at the scene, but CBS News reported that according to an Army official, "shell casings were found on the ground, leading investigators to suspect that it was a double homicide resulting from a drug deal gone wrong." The official explained that both men had been under investigation for using and selling drugs.

The Washington Post reported that "their remains were found together in a remote part of the training area, with one body in a car, according to [an Army] official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the circumstances are under investigation."

Lavigne was a decorated soldier. WNCN-TV reported that he graduated from the Special Forces Qualification Course in 2007 and served several deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was a recipient of two Bronze Stars and a Meritorious Service Medal.

In a statement, Lavigne's commander, Lieutenant Colonel Justin Duvall, said, "The loss of a Soldier is always tragic. Master Sgt. Lavigne dedicated himself to the Army for 19 years and deployed multiple times in the defense of our Nation. Our condolences go out to his family during this difficult time."

Less information has been released on Dumas, but he also had special forces experience, an official told The Post.

WAFFLE: Arizona House Speaker Claims They Can’t Enforce Constitution, Won’t Commit To Calling Legislative Hearing

Bowers seems to have a shallow understanding of the Constitution.

Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers claims the state cannot enforce the Constitution regarding Electors, and won’t commit to calling a legislative hearing.

Speaker Bowers was one of the top Arizona legislators who on Friday called for an immediate and “expeditious” forensic audit of the Dominion voting machines and software used in Maricopa County, due to concerns that the machines may have been used to assist in massive voter fraud.

However, following the publication of that statement, Bowers came out with one of his own, claiming that “the rule of law” forbids the overturning of certified election results, which Arizona has already done, even if there was clear evidence of voter fraud.

“The Trump team made claims that the election was tainted by fraud, but presented only theories, not proof,” Bowers said in the statement. “If such evidence existed, the Arizona Legislature simply couldn’t do what is being asked,” referring to calls for the Arizona Legislature to take control of the state’s Electoral College votes, claiming it would require a bipartisan supermajority to even call a special session to begin to contest it.

ARIZONA: GOP Chair Kelli Ward Calls for Immediate Legislative Hearing Into Voter Fraud

He argued that current Arizona law gives the power to voters to decide who wins the election. “The law was aimed at ensuring that Arizona’s electors would remain faithful to the vote of the people,” Speaker Bowers claimed, saying that “nothing in the US Constitution or the decisions of the US Supreme Court even suggests that the Arizona Legilsature could retroactively appoint different electors who would cast their ballots for different candidates.”

He noted that Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, Trump’s legal team, cited the Supreme Court Case McPherson vs Blacker [1892] during the previous election integrity hearings, which argues that the legislature “can resume the power to appoint [electors] at any time.” Ellis told Pennsylvania legislators that due to delegation of authority to the legislature via the Constitution, they can take that back:

You also have an instance here that the law was completely ignored, so even though you have a manner in which your electors are generally selected in Pennsylvania, and that’s worked for the past presidential elections since the statutes were authorised and gone through the legislature, this is an election that has been corrupted, so you can’t go through that method. Those laws were violated. The general assembly here, the legislature, is the authorised entity in the constitution that selects the manner. You can take that power back at any time.

Bowers disagreed, claiming that Bush vs Gore [2000], overrules this. He cited this passage from the decision: “When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental.”

“No election is perfect, and if there were evidence of illegal votes or an improper count, then Arizona law provides a process to contest the election: a lawsuit under state law,” Bowers continued. “But the law does not authorise the Legislature to reverse the results of an election”:

As a conservative Republican, I don’t like the results of the presidential election. I voted for President Trump and worked hard to reelect him. But I cannot and will not entertain a suggestion that we violate current law to change the outcome of a certified election. I and my fellow legislators swore an oath to support the US Constitution and the constitution and laws of the state of Arizona. It would violate that oath, the basic principles of republican government, and the rule of law if we attempted to nullify the people’s vote based on unsupported theories of fraud. Under the laws that we wrote and voted upon, Arizona voters choose who wins, and our system requires that their choice be respected.

Biggs Demands that AG Barr release findings of DOJ election fraud probe

Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs demanded Friday that Justice Department Attorney General William Barr release the current findings of “his election fraud investigation.”

Biggs, who spoke at a press conference outside on Capitol Hill, said on Twitter that it “is imperative that the American people receive clarity as to the allegations and claims that have been raised about the 2020 election.”

“This election took place almost exactly one-month ago,” said Biggs, who is the Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus. “And when this election was concluded at least on that November 3 day, and there began to be questions about the integrity of that election – there were a number of us that did call the Department of Justice to begin looking investigating and going through the claims that were arising and going forward throughout this country.”

He added that “as votes were bing counted post Election Day complaints continued and we urged the Attorney General to investigate, to make sure that we can rely on the integrity of the election. In a republic there is nothing more detrimental than to not be able to trust your institutions created by those who have the ultimate power.”

“We don’t have any power as members of Congress. It is the people of this country from which our authority is derived because they delegate it to us,” Biggs added.

Last week, Barr disclosed to The Associated Press that thus far his “we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election.”

President Donald Trump’s lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, shot back at Barr in a statement saying, “with all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been a semblance of a Department of Justice investigation,” they said. “We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined.”

Let’s see what the DOJ has investigated. So far, with the Russia investigation into the FBI’s malfeasance and now with the election fraud probe it appears to be all talk and no action.Maybe it’s just gaslighting because we haven’t seen anything yet.

I agree with Biggs it’s the American people who must demand that the Justice Department do its job and present us with the facts. After all, we pay their salaries.

Yesterday, I led a press conference to demand that Attorney General Barr release the findings of his election fraud investigation.

Hezbollah Releases Drone Footage Of Israeli Bases In Upper Galilee

On December 4, the Lebanese al-Manar TV aired footage of Israeli bases in Upper Galilee, which were filmed by a Hezbollah drone.

The footage was showed as a part of the series dubbed “the Secrets of the Second Liberation.” The series documents Hezbollah’s support for the Syrian government and the movement’s battles against terrorist groups in the region.

A base of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Brannite and a command center in Rowaysat al-Alam can be seen in the footage, which were apparently taken by a small drone.

According to al-Manar, the Hezbollah Air Force filmed it on the second day of the IDF’s “Lethal Arrow” large-scale drills, which were held in northern Israel. The Hezbollah Air Force operates a variety of drones, some with combat capabilities. Reports say that the Lebanese movement established its air force with a direct support from Iran.

On December 4 of 2014, Hassan al-Laqqis, the mastermind behind Hezbollah’s drone program, was assassinated in Beirut’s Southern Suburb. The al-Qaeda-affiliated Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade claimed responsibility for the attack. Nevertheless, Hezbollah said that Saudi Arabia and Israel may have been involved in the assassination.

Despite the permanent threat from Israel and the general pressure from the US-led bloc, Hezbollah continues to develop its offensive capabilities. Today, the Lebanese movement is better trained and equipped than many armies around the world.
