Trump Set To Ignore GOP Advice To Delay Presidential Announcement

Donald Trump is set to ignore GOP advice to hold off on announcing his presidential candidacy until after a Georgia runoff election that could potentially decide the Senate, with the announcement now expected on Tuesday.

Trump has reportedly been itching to announce his comeback run for months, but Republican leadership insisted that he hold off until after the mid-terms.

Now Trump has revealed he will make a special announcement at 9pm EST from his Mar-a-Lago home next week.

During a rally last Monday, Trump indicated he would make the announcement the following week, although with final election results in several states not expected for days, that won’t happen.

The Georgia run off is scheduled to take place on December 6 and could determine who controls the Senate, depending on the results in Nevada and Arizona, where votes are still being counted.

There was speculation as far back as June that Trump was about to announce his candidacy, claims that were bolstered when an unlisted video discovered on YouTube showing the former president’s plane getting a new paint job.

However, with some of the candidates Trump endorsed underperforming, more Republicans are now aligning behind Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, although DeSantis would have an uphill struggle defeating Trump in the primaries.

Clark County Will Need Three More Days to Count 50,000 Ballots

The number of outstanding mail-in ballots has potential to grow as late as Monday

Election officials Clark County, Nevada — the state’s most populous county that includes the Las Vegas area — have stated that they will need an additional three days to count upwards of 50,000 outstanding ballots. Mail-in ballots postmarked prior to election day can be counted if they arrive as late as Saturday, meaning that Nevada does not yet have a final count on the number of outstanding ballots. The state is home to one of the nation’s most closely watched races, as Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt currently leads incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto in a race that could decide the balance of the U.S. Senate candidate.

Joe Gloria, Clark County’s registrar of voters, said at a press conference Thursday that a little more than 50,000 ballots still need to be counted.

“My staff has been working very diligently,” said Gloria. “We’ve been here from early in the morning until late at night. We’ve been fully staffed. We’re working as hard as we possibly can in order to get the ballots counted, but whether we like it or not there’s no way that we can move any faster than we’re currently moving.”

He added that the outstanding votes all represent mail-in ballots, which require election officials to individually match voters’ signatures on those ballots to the state’s records under Nevada election law. This, Gloria says, creates a multi-step that is slowing down the count.

The Clark County Elections department has sent out roughly 10,000 letters notifying mail-in voters whose ballots were either missing a signature or didn’t match their registration profile. Included in the in the letter is a set of instructions for voters to correct the issue and “cure” their ballots, which they will be able to do until 5 p.m. on Monday.

About 7,100 still had not been resolved as of Thursday, Gloria said.

This could further inflate the number of mail-in ballots that need to be counted, which heavily tilt Democrat. In addition, the state began the process in 2021 of mailing ballots to every registered voter in the state. Mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day can be counted if they arrive until Saturday so long as they were postmarked prior to Tuesday, November 8.

As Clark County officials state that it will take four additional days to count the ballots, Republicans have questioned how the process could take so long when larger states and even nations complete much larger counts in a shorter amount of time.

“How come Florida w/ population of 22 million can get same day election results and Arizona w/ population of 7 million can’t?” said Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren.

“Brazil, a country of 215 million, finished their vote count in one day. So did Florida, the third largest US state,” wrote former U.S. diplomat Alberto Miguel Fernandez in a tweet. “Counties in Arizona and Nevada seem to be looking forward to a long and leisurely holiday weekend before finishing their job. Incredible.”

Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt maintains a narrow lead as the unknown and potentially expanding number of Democrat favored mail-in ballots remain outstanding. Laxalt has expressed confidence, however, stating that he does not believe Cortez Masto will be able to make up the deficit.

“Clark County Clerk just reported there are just over 50K ballots left. This number includes Election Day drop off,” Laxalt wrote in a tweet Thursday evening. “We know there are rural and Washoe votes to be counted. Assuming these two at least offset, then Cortez Masto needs 63.5% to catch us. We remain very confident.”

New Jersey Mayor Says Ballots Went Missing: ‘We Will Not Rest Until We Get to the Bottom of This’

Robbinsville, New Jersey, Mayor Dave Fried said in a Nov. 9 statement that officials were notified at approximately 5 p.m. that “the ballots of one of our districts had gone missing.”

“The fundamentals of Democracy is that every vote would be counted. Clearly, this has yet to happen in Robbinsville, as approximately 11 percent of our residents’ votes have yet to be safely delivered and counted,” Fried said.

Fried said officials are working with the county, which is in charge of the election.

“We will not rest until we get to the bottom of this unconscionable mishap, and we will not consider the 2022 election over in Robbinsville until every single ballot is counted and done so securely,” he said.

Robbinsville officials, meanwhile, said in a statement published on social media late on Thursday, citing a local report, that ballots in one district “have been located and counted.” The officials noted, however, that they had not received official confirmation.

“We still have not received official confirmation of this from Mercer County or the Board of Elections,” the statement reads.

The missing ballots could affect a local Robbinsville school board race, where 103 votes separate Peter Oehlberg and Christopher Emigholz, the New Jersey Globe reported.

The “mishap” is unlikely to affect any races for federal offices, where candidates are ahead by thousands of votes with 95 percent of votes in, according to figures by The Associated Press.

CIA Director’s Former Think Tank Hired Experts From Nonprofits Controlled By Chinese Spy Agencies

Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has employed over a dozen experts who’ve worked for front groups controlled by Chinese spy agencies, the Daily Caller News Foundation determined after reviewing author Alex Joske’s new book “Spies and Lies.”

Carnegie employed the majority of the experts in question while current CIA Director William Burns served as the think tank’s president, the DCNF found.

“The director must explain why he allowed our top adversary to infiltrate his organization, the extent of his interactions with potential Chinese spies, and most importantly, why he lied to the American people during his confirmation hearing,” Texas Republican Rep. Lance Gooden told the DCNF.

An elite Washington, D.C., think tank has employed individuals who’ve worked for front groups controlled by Chinese spy agencies, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace has employed over a dozen individuals who’ve worked in a range of capacities at China-based nonprofits set up or co-opted by Chinese intelligence agencies, including the Ministry of State Security (MSS) and the intel arm of the People’s Liberation Army.

These individuals have served as experts in various policy areas, including international relations, American politics and nuclear policy while working at both the think tank’s D.C. headquarters and at its Tsinghua University center in Beijing. Moreover, not only did Carnegie employ the majority of these experts while current CIA Director William Burns was president of the think tank, but, according to the nonprofit’s current records, Carnegie still employs individuals working for Chinese intelligence front groups.

Carnegie, the CIA and Director Burns did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the DCNF.

The DCNF was able to identify Carnegie staff who’ve worked for Chinese spy fronts by cross-referencing publicly available employment information with a new book on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intel and influence operations written by Alex Joske, a former analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

The book, called “Spies and Lies,” details Chinese intelligence agents’ efforts to infiltrate and influence Western institutions. Joske reveals a front set up by China’s version of the CIA began courting Carnegie in the early 2000s — a relationship the DCNF discovered has persisted to this day.

To be sure, Joske does not label any of the individuals who’ve worked for Chinese intelligence front groups prior to working for Carnegie as “spies.” Joske, however, does detail how Chinese Communist agents established various front groups with an eye toward attracting partnerships with Western think tanks.

Using tactics first deployed against George Soros’ China Fund in the late 1980s, Joske’s book details how China’s MSS set out to lure influential Western institutions with close government ties into partnerships with various Chinese nonprofits.

“[The MSS] went after people’s best intentions towards China,” Joske told the DCNF. “There were plenty of people who believed in this vision of a more democratic and more open China and thought it was something that could be realized, even under the Chinese Communist Party.”

Joe Biden Honors Veterans Day by Praising Climate Envoy John Kerry as ‘Literally One of the Most Decorated Men to Fight’

President Joe Biden celebrated Veterans Day on Friday by falsely praising his Climate Envoy John Kerry as one of the most decorated men to fight for America.

“I want to thank one proud American veteran, a lifelong public servant, a dear friend, and literally one of the most decorated men to fight, Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry,” Biden said.

The president spoke about veterans and John Kerry during his speech at the climate summit in Egypt.

Kerry, who served in Vietnam, was awarded a Bronze Star, a Silver Star, and three Purple Hearts, but is not even on the list of the top 50 most decorated veterans.

Kerry’s service medals were the subject of a controversy in 2004 when he ran for president against George W. Bush.

In 1971, Kerry told a local media outlet that he threw back his Vietnam combat medals over the fence of the White House while protesting the Vietnam war.

Kerry later said it was a myth, but told columnist Robert Novak that he “threw away my ribbons not my medals.”

In 1984, Kerry said he tossed other shoulders’ medals across the fence, not his.

In 1971, Kerry testified to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee accusing American soldiers of atrocities and war crimes.

Kerry’s military service was questioned by the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 election, as the group of men who served in Vietnam questioned his patriotism.

During his speech, Biden also reminded the audience this his son Beau Biden was also a veteran.

“On this special day and every day, I honor all those who sacrificed for our nation like my son,” he said.

Judge Orders Two Voting Machines to Be Cracked Open After Poll Worker Makes Big Mistake

A poll worker’s mistake has led to a court order to open two voting machines in New Jersey’s Monmouth County.

The issue took place in the town of Manalapan, according to the New Jersey Globe.

Deputy Attorney General George Cohen said Thursday that a poll worker “inadvertently failed to get vote results” before the machine was sealed.

Cohen said a poll worker removed two USB sticks from the machine before the results were completely uploaded. Because one has results on it and one does not, officials are unsure of the actual results.

Superior Court Judge David Bauman has given the Monmouth County Superintendent of Elections approval to open the machines.

“The entire process will be bi-partisan,” Cohen said to the judge.

It is unknown if the results found in the machine could change Tuesday’s elections.

Vote totals released Wednesday showed the two candidates elected to the Township Committee with handy margins over their rivals, according to CentralJersey.com.

Initial results showed the two seats going to Republicans Mary Ann Musich, who had 8,986 votes, and Eric Nelson, who had 8,740 votes. Democrat Jamie Herr received 5,082 votes, while fellow Democrat Lisa Lenn received 5,056 votes.

New Jersey’s Mercer County has also had machine issues, according to northjersey.com.

Scanning problems on Tuesday with machines made by Dominion Voting Systems resulted in a large number of paper ballots being required in the county.

Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello asked the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office to “investigate as to whether this scanning problem occurred based on an error or whether something was intentionally done to create chaos and distrust in the election system.”

Sollami-Covello said officials are “not suspicious of any specific wrongdoing,” but they “do need to investigate the matter fully.”

On Thursday, Mercer County Superior Court Judge William Anklowitz approved an order to open the voting machines, according to northjersey.com.

FBI Agents Raid Home of Owner of a Popular Website that Tracks Everything About the Secret Air Base in Area 51

The FBI reportedly raided the home of the owner of a popular website that tracks everything related to Area 51. This is according to a report from a lead investigative reporter of KLAS TV, an affiliate of CBS.

“FBI agents came down hard on the operator of a popular website devoted to all things Area 51–its programs, lore, and legacy. More than a dozen agents served a no-knock warrant on the Rachel, NV home of Joerg Arnu, owner of http://dreamlandresort.com…” investigative reporter George Knapp wrote.

Joerg Arnu is the founder of Dreamland Resort and Webmaster. According to IMDb, Joerg Arnu grew up in Germany where he obtained a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and started his career as a software developer. Today Joerg is a 25-year Area 51 research veteran, living in Rachel, NV, just outside the gates of Area 51. His Dreamland Resort website is all about the military R&D aspect of Area 51, Black Projects and Military Aviation.

“For 20 years and counting Dreamland Resort has been the most comprehensive source for information on Area 51, Black Projects, the Nellis Ranges, TTR, and the ET Highway. The webmaster is a 25-year Area 51 Research veteran and a resident of Rachel, NV, right outside the gates of Area 51,” according to the Dream Land Resort website.

George Knapp added, “They seized all computers, files, phones, photos. At the same time, another team of a dozen or more agents stormed into Arnu’s Las Vegas home, seized all digital devices and files, held his girlfriend at gunpoint.”

The motive for the raid is still unknown.

“The warrants were served one week ago. Arnu noted on his site that he does not know the reason for the raid or whether specific images of the secret base posted online may have initiated such a vigorous action by federal law enforcement. We are gathering more info.”

California School District PAYS Trans Org To Indoctrinate

The Transfamily Support Services willingly accepted the money and the invite to come on campus in the Poway Unified School District PUSD in Poway, California. The District intends to pay $3,000 a year for people to go and teach what it means to be transgender.

Wenyuan Wu is the executive director of Californians for the Equal Rights Foundation. He mentioned that the deal between the School District and the TransFamily Support Services TFSS is more familiar than the media makes it out to be. The Daily Caller quoted him

as saying, “TFSS has had a long working relationship with PUSD, which has not [been] brought to public scrutiny for lack of accountability and transparency on the part of the School District.”

The school District hid the relationship from parents for as long as possible. And when the state fell deeper into liberal hands, the leadership in the District decided the time to come clean about the deal was at hand.

The Daily Caller also reported on the secret deal that “TFSS and PUSD have benefitted from a strong informal partnership in the past and have collaborated on many efforts to ensure an inclusive setting for all students. TFSS has made mini-presentations to principals, counselors, student services specialists, and a few school sites, as well as assist in the formation and support of Gay-Straight Alliance clubs on campus and as a resource for parents and students.”
