Biden To 'Immediately' Send Congress Bill That Would Offer Citizenship To 11 Million Illegals
President-elect Joe Biden will 'immediately' send a legislative package to Congress which would provide a pathway to citizenship for some 11 million illegal immigrants, according to the Los Angeles Times, according to "immigrants rights activists in communication with the Biden-Harris transition team."
The bill would also provide a shorter pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people living in the United States under a temporary protected status and/or who qualify under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program who were brought into the US as children.
And in what the Times calls a "significant departure from many previous immigration bills under both Democratic and Republican administrations," the Biden plan would contain zero provisions for stepped-up immigration enforcement and security measures, according to Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center Immigrant Justice Fund, who was informed of the details by Biden staffers.
Both Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have said their legislative proposal would include a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants in the U.S. without legal status, and The Times has confirmed the bold opening salvo that the new administration plans in its first days doesn’t include the “security first” political concessions of past efforts.
Hincapié, who was co-chair of the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force on Immigration — part of Biden’s outreach to his top primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and his progressive base — said that Biden’s decision to not prioritize additional enforcement measures was probably a result of lessons learned from the Obama administration’s failed attempt to appease Republicans by backing tighter immigration enforcement in hopes of gaining their support for immigration relief. -Los Angeles Times
"On Inauguration Day, President-elect Biden will sign roughly a dozen actions to combat the four crises, restore humanity to our immigration system, and make government function for the people," reads a Saturday memo by incoming Biden chief of staff, Ron Klain, who said the incoming president's agenda included "the immigration bill he will send to Congress on his first day in office."

Woke Elementary
A Cupertino elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
An elementary school in Cupertino, California—a Silicon Valley community with a median home price of $2.3 million—recently forced a class of third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
Based on whistleblower documents and parents familiar with the session, a third-grade teacher at R.I. Meyerholz Elementary School began the lesson on “social identities” during a math class. The teacher asked all students to create an “identity map,” listing their race, class, gender, religion, family structure, and other characteristics. The teacher explained that the students live in a “dominant culture” of “white, middle class, cisgender, educated, able-bodied, Christian, English speaker[s],” who, according to the lesson, “created and maintained” this culture in order “to hold power and stay in power.”
Next, reading from This Book Is Antiracist, the students learned that “those with privilege have power over others” and that “folx who do not benefit from their social identities, who are in the subordinate culture, have little to no privilege and power.” As an example, the reading states that “a white, cisgender man, who is able-bodied, heterosexual, considered handsome and speaks English has more privilege than a Black transgender woman.” In some cases, because of the principle of intersectionality, “there are parts of us that hold some power and other parts that are oppressed,” even within a single individual.
Following this discussion, the teacher had the students deconstruct their own intersectional identities and “circle the identities that hold power and privilege” on their identity maps, ranking their traits according to the hierarchy. In a related assignment, the students were asked to write short essays describing which aspects of their identities “hold power and privilege” and which do not. The students were expected to produce “at least one full page of writing.” As an example, the presentation included a short paragraph about transgenderism and nonbinary sexuality.
The lesson caused an immediate uproar among Meyerholz Elementary parents. “We were shocked,” said one parent, who agreed to speak with me on condition of anonymity. “They were basically teaching racism to my eight-year-old.” This parent, who is Asian-American, rallied a group of a half dozen families to protest the school’s intersectionality curriculum. The group met with the school principal and demanded an end to the racially divisive instruction. After a tense meeting, the administration agreed to suspend the program. (When reached for comment, Jenn Lashier, the principal of Meyerholz Elementary, said that the training was not part of the “formal curricula, but the process of daily learning facilitated by a certified teacher.”)
The irony is that, despite being 94 percent nonwhite, Meyerholz Elementary is one of the most privileged schools in America. The median household income in Cupertino is $172,000, and nearly 80 percent of residents have a bachelor’s degree or higher. At the school, where the majority of families are Asian-American, the students have exceptionally high rates of academic achievement and the school consistently ranks in the top 1 percent of all elementary schools statewide. In short, nobody at Meyerholz is oppressed, and the school’s high-achieving parents know that teaching intersectionality instead of math is a waste of time—and potentially dangerous.
One parent told me that critical race theory was reminiscent of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. “[It divides society between] the oppressor and the oppressed, and since these identities are inborn characteristics people cannot change, the only way to change it is via violent revolution,” the parent said. “Growing up in China, I had learned it many times. The outcome is the family will be ripped apart; husband hates wife, children hate parents. I think it is already happening here.”
The small fight at Meyerholz reflects a larger development: for the first time, Asian-Americans on the West Coast have become politically mobilized. In 2019, Asian-Americans ran a successful initiative campaign against affirmative action in Washington State; in 2020, Asian-Americans ran a similar campaign in California, winning by an astonishing 57 percent to 43 percent margin. In both cases, they defended the principles of meritocracy, individual rights, and equality under the law—and roundly defeated a super-coalition of the states’ progressive politicians, activists, universities, media, and corporations.
The stakes are high for the Asian-American community. For progressives insisting on the narrative of “white supremacy” and “systemic racism,” Asian-Americans are the “inconvenient minority”: they significantly outperform all other racial groups, including whites, in terms of academic achievement, college admissions, household income, family stability, and other key measures. Affirmative action and other critical race theory-based programs would devastate their admissions to universities and harm their futures.
At Meyerholz Elementary, the Asian-American families are on high alert for critical race theory in the classroom. Since their initial victory, they have begun to consider campaigning against the school board. “We think some of our school board members are [critical race theory] activists and they must go,” said one parent. The capture of our public institutions by progressives obsessed by race and privilege deserves opposition at every level. The parents of Cupertino have joined the fight.
This article is part of an ongoing series on critical race theory in American schools.

The link to the video is interesting but unfortunately neither of Trump's AG's didn't have what it takes to use available information and fix some of the garbage thats going on in Washington. Now with the democrats in control of all 3 branches it really doesn't matter what evidence is presented.
Social media and the liberal press have joined with the corrupt liberals and they are using a scorched earth strategy to destroy anything that resembles a conservative mind set.
Some people are talking about gaining some ground back at the mid-term elections in 2 years... I really don't think anything will be different in 2 years... nothing re the election process will have changed by then and it will be same crap all over again. The Republicans don't seem to have any interest in getting involved in a fight so this mess won't be straightened out until the people take it on themselves to fix it. And that will likely be years in the making.

ReutersSaturday 09 January 2021
A Sriwijaya Air plane with more than 50 people on board lost contact after taking off from Indonesian capital Jakarta on Saturday en route to Pontianak in West Kalimantan province, local media reported.
Reliable tracking service Flightradar24 said on its Twitter feed that Flight SJ182 “lost more than 10,000 feet of altitude in less than one minute, about 4 minutes after departure from Jakarta.”
The aircraft is a 27-year-old Boeing 737-500, according to registration details included in the tracking data.
Sriwijaya Air, an Indonesian airline, said in a statement it is still gathering more detailed information regarding the flight before it can make any statement.

Tesla chief Elon Musk passes Jeff Bezos to become world's richest person
Tesla (TSLA) chief Elon Musk has become the richest person in the world, with a net worth of more than $185bn (£136bn).
Shares in Musk’s electric vehicle and clean energy company surged on Thursday pushing him past Amazon (AMZN) boss Jeff Bezos, who had been the world’s wealthiest person since 2017.
Bezos’ net worth currently stands at about $184bn.
Musk’s growth in fortune over the past year marks the fastest rise to the top of the rich list in history. Musk’s net worth at the beginning of 2020 was around $27bn, placing him just inside the list of the world’s top 50 richest people.

"Trump lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden by more than 7 million votes ..."
A more correct way to state that would be to say that the democrats stole the election from Trump by more than 7 million votes.
Never mind that a tractor trailer trailer with 280,000 votes on it for Biden was trucked from New York to Pennsylvania... Or that the pole workers are shown on video as they reentered the same stack of votes into the counting machines many times over and over again. Or that many counties had votes for Biden in excess of 90% of the total votes cast... Statistically impossible. Or maybe the fact that the Dominion machines were reporting fractional share count results... which is only possible by adjusting results by a multiplier. And then there is the instance in Fulton County Ga where an increase in the Biden count of 175,173 was recorded with an exact decrease of 175,173 in the Trump count... in the middle of the night of course when they thought no one was watching.
No... Trump did not lose the election. Massive fraud and corruption gave it to Biden. The democrats seem proud of the way they have destroyed this country, as time goes on they will regret what they have done. They too will have to live in this 3rd world country they have created.
2020 Gun Sales Shatter Records As Americans Lock N' Load
Amid 2020's 'perfect storm' of racial tensions, lockdowns, and a record spike in unemployment which coincided with a national crime wave, people have been stocking up on firearms like never before.
According to monthly FBI data, November was the busiest month on record for background checks with over 3.6 million applications - a figure which is up 40% from the prior November, putting the country at an all-time high of 35,758,249 checks so far this year - and 26% higher than 2019's 28,400,000 checks.

The Gray Curtain Descends, Part 1
Authored by Robert Gore via Straight Line Logic,
Let’s dispense with the obscenity that expressed intentions excuse all crimes and consequences.
It’s a close contest between which officially approved story is more implausible: Coronavirus as the Scourge of Humanity or America’s Free and Fair Election. The former enabled the latter, and they were propagated by the same people pursuant to an all-in power grab. Both are riddled with glaring inconsistencies and fraud, none of which are mentioned in polite society.
It was strange, she thought, to obtain news by means of nothing but denials, as if existence had ceased, facts had vanished and only the frantic negatives uttered by officials and columnists gave any clue to the reality they were denying.
Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, 1957
The stories’ propagators don’t address the inconsistencies and fraud because they can’t; they simply deny their existence. They suppress questions, inquiry, and exploration of actual evidence and facts, and promote mindless slogans. The legacy media censorship has been overt, but not as effective as hoped, thanks in large part to the alternative media. The censorship itself is a red flag. If the approved stories are Shining Truth, why can’t they bear challenge?
The propagandists are suppressing free inquiry and debate, and they’re about to eliminate it entirely. With next month’s ascension of Biden and Harris and the predatory and parasitic ruling cabal to which they answer, the prize is in site. They see no need to continue feigning fealty to anything other than subjugation and control.
For the most part they’ve even dropped their shopworn rhetoric of concern for their subjects. In the good old days there was “for the people” codswallop with the goodies, which you got as long as you did what you were told. The new diktat will be to do as you’re told or else, but there will be no goodies; governments are bankrupt and the ruling cabal has no ability to produce. They will not be bothered by destitution and deaths among the ruled, that’s a feature, not a bug. Indeed, any detectable concern would be grounds for immediate expulsion from the cabal.
Let’s dispense with the obscenity that expressed intentions excuse all crimes and consequences. Totalitarianism has never produced anything but destruction, destitution, and death and never will, regardless of the totalitarians’ lofty rhetoric. Totalitarians are vultures, not eagles, and the current kettle of vultures intend to dine on the corpse of history’s most advanced civilization.
Draft animals work harder for a morsel or kind words than for the whip or switch, but somehow humans are different. Whips, switches, prisons, and subjugation pave the road to utopia. When they instead lead to a charnel house, that’s not the fault of the whippers, switchers, wardens, or subjugators. Except it is. Orwell said it best: “The object of power is power.” Power’s trite slogans and rationalizations don’t excuse its murderous depredations, they only increase its inescapable guilt.
Compromise between good and evil spells death for the good. If I ask you to drink a cup of cyanide and you refuse, but we compromise on half a cup, who wins?
It’s these sort of compromises, exacted bit by bit over decades, that have destroyed a once great nation. It’s understandable how it happened. There’s a problem and more power for the rulers is always the solution: a Civil War, central bank fiat debt, an income tax, make the world safe for democracy, a New Deal, Frontier, or Covenant, Hope and Change, leader of the Free World, wars on poverty, drugs, terror, and now, germs, and so on.
The compromises serve as precedents that launch the next compromises and consequent government accretions of power. (The Civil War was precedent for both the income tax and fiat currency 48 years later.) Solutions are always presented in a blinding blaze of propaganda. There are always the unblinded few who question and dissent. They are always ostracized or worse.
The rest learn the lesson. Herd behavior is hard-wired. Like a pack of wildebeests after one spots a lion, there are times when reflexive flight is the right response. However, nothing government does is quick enough to be considered reflexive; there’s been time enough to question, analyze, and protest virtually everything the US government has done since its inception. Unfortunately, at the individual level, sticking with the pack often makes perfect sense. To be the one who refuses to obey, or to even question the dictates of a powerful government that is both stoking and benefiting from herd frenzy, is to risk ruin, imprisonment, and sometimes, death.
The crowd does what the crowd does. Regardless of the arguments, and perhaps the insults and deprecations from the few outside the crowd, it rationalizes its own behavior. Who are we to question? It’s still a great nation, it could be worse. Why risk our comfortable lifestyle for intangible principles? Better safe than sorry. And there’s the secret thought: yes, there may be unfortunate consequences, but I’ll be dead by then.
Except the unfortunate consequences have arrived. We’re confronted by a dystopian totalitarianism the design of which the totalitarians are no longer trying to hide. Virtually everything has already been compromised and the meager remnant of freedom is on the table. As the crowd is prodded into the cattle cars (not social distancing, their well-being no longer even a faux concern) uneasy whispers circulate: is the final destination the abattoir?
However flimsy the excuses offered by the ruled have been, they’ve at least had the usual rationalizations of cowardice. There’s no excuses or rationalizations for our rulers. They want to impoverish, subjugate, or kill us. Don’t give them too much credit believing the latter isn’t the preferred option. Such deeds never spring from motives other than all-encompassing, unremitting malice and hate. The honest and honorable are left to wonder what, if anything, has replaced those forfeited souls. We may never know the answer.
What do they get from their brave new world? Adding to their already substantial fortunes? Still more power over an impoverished, cowed population, more transhuman robots than people, dutifully following orders but unable to produce anything beyond what is programmed into their quantum microchips, bereft of the sparks of inquiry, innovation and joy that propels humanity and make life worth living? Do they not know that a gray curtain will descend over the dazzling world of wealth and privilege they now inhabit? That turning people into appliances plugged into an all-seeing internet will leave everyone in a electric panopticon that’s as sterile and joyless for the watchers as the watched?
The gray curtain descends. What further demonstration is necessary of impoverish, subjugate, and kill than Coronavirus totalitarianism, which has done all three? It’s the preview of coming attractions. The last flimsy excuse for the ruled is the one that would presumably be offered by roadkill if it wasn’t dead: it was too stunned by the headlights to think or act. The moment is nigh: you’ll be totalitarian roadkill if you’re too stunned by the brazen evil unfolding to think and act, now.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are no more the rightful president and vice president than I would be the rightful owner of your house if I forced my way in, held a gun to your head, and made you sign over the deed. Unlike the solipsistic plaints after President Trump won a semi-legitimate election in 2016 (“Not my president!”), Joe Biden will not be my or anyone else’s rightful president in 2021. (The 2016 election probably was rigged—for Hillary—the riggers just didn’t do an adequate job, unlike 2020.) Biden and his partner in crime are usurpers and SLL will not refer to either one by their stolen titles. Until the inauguration SLL will refer to Biden as Not Our President-Elect, or NOPE. They’re small gestures, but revolutions start with small gestures.
NOPE and Vice-NOPE will be nominal capos of the largest organized crime syndicate in history. Unchallenged crime and evil are not static; they get worse. Investing any hope in “things will get better” has been a loser for more than a century. Governments generally do nothing but get worse—more taxes, more laws and regulations, more debt, more fiat fraud, more wars, more corruption, and more power—as the freedom of individuals who must live under them vanishes.
Hope without action is not a strategy, but there is cause for hope if it’s coupled with action.
Part Two will be posted next week.

Address to the Nation on the BP Oil Spill
Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Oval Office
Good evening. As we speak, our nation faces a multitude of challenges. At home, our top priority is to recover and rebuild from a recession that has touched the lives of nearly every American. Abroad, our brave men and women in uniform are taking the fight to al Qaeda wherever it exists. And tonight, I’ve returned from a trip to the Gulf Coast to speak with you about the battle we’re waging against an oil spill that is assaulting our shores and our citizens.
On April 20th, an explosion ripped through BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, about forty miles off the coast of Louisiana. Eleven workers lost their lives. Seventeen others were injured. And soon, nearly a mile beneath the surface of the ocean, oil began spewing into the water.

Joe Biden Appears To Outperform In Counties Using Dominion Or HART Voting Machines: Data Analyst
( The guy that did the analysis has a video describing how he did this... )
https://rumble.com/vbz2ld-2020-election-shows-joe-biden-over-performs-in-72-of-counties-using-dominio.html
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden outperforms in counties that use the Dominion or HART InterCivic voting machines, according to a data analyst.
“Analysis evidence suggests the use of the Dominion X/ICX BMD (Ballot Marking Device) machine, manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems, and machines from HART InterCivic appear to have abnormally influenced election results,” the data analyst wrote in a report that went public on Thursday.
The data analyst, who chose to remain anonymous for safety reasons, has 30 years of experience in data analysis, according to his profile reviewed by The Epoch Times.
In his research, he used voting data and 2017 census data to set up a baseline scenario to predict the election result. Then, he used the baseline model to compare the results of the November election.
The results show Biden falling above the prediction line in 78 percent of counties that use voting machines from those two companies.
His analysis also indicates that Biden consistently received 5.6 percent more votes in those counties than he should have.

“That should not happen … The counties using Dominion machines are clearly too high,” he said in a video introducing his research results.
“That is a dramatic red flag in my opinion … something’s going on here.”
He said that the “plus 5.6 percent” pattern is not caused by the above-mentioned voting machines being widely used in strong Democratic counties, as it can also be found in counties that have strong support for President Donald Trump.
Hart InterCivic didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from The Epoch Times. Dominion Voting System refused to comment on the results of the analysis. The company said that “courts of law across America have confirmed multiple times that there is no credible evidence to suggest any vote switching or fraud using Dominion Voting Systems.”
The analysis said he didn’t draw any conclusion on who caused the possible irregularities.
However, he believes that there must be a big scheme if the potential irregularities in his analysis have been caused by intentional activities.
“The patterns I’m seeing are across many counties—so my findings concern an organization with large-scale, national impact. That is, what I am seeing is not a local optical scan operator running a box of ballots through the system three times.”
He didn’t name any company or related party for wrongdoing.

The New England Journal Of Medicine Is Now Fully Woke
Although it’s seemingly good news that there’s a Wuhan virus vaccine available, not everyone is embracing it. After all, they’ve seen the medical establishment, from Fauci on down, make one mistake after another during this difficult year. Worse, many in the medical establishment are proving to be insane as only leftists can be.
The latest example is the once prestigious and reliable New England Medical Journal, which published an article declaring biological sex irrelevant.
In the latest issue of the NEMJ, two doctors and a lawyer have written that it’s time to do away with putting a newborn baby’s biological sex – as demonstrated by its external genitalia – on birth certificates. The article is behind a paywall, but the summary is there for all to see:
Sex designations on birth certificates offer no clinical utility, and they can be harmful for intersex and transgender people. Moving such designations below the line of demarcation wouldn’t compromise the birth certificate’s public health function but could avoid harm.
First, let's meet the authors.
Vadim Shteyler is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Brown University. He’s a hospitalist, which means he’s a regular internal medicine doctor who doesn’t have an office practice but works only in a hospital.
Jessica A. Clarke is a law professor at Vanderbilt Law School. “She studies constitutional and statutory guarantees of non-discrimination based on traits such as race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion and disability.”
Eli Y. Adashi is the former Dean of Medicine and Biological Sciences at Brown University. His clinical specialty is gynecology.
As you can see, these people are not fringe crackpots. They are associated with reputable institutions. They’re getting published in the New England Medical Journal, one of the most prestigious medical magazines in the world. They can be said to represent the mainstream of American medical thinking and its intersection with legal principles.
And from that pinnacle of professionalism, they’re telling us that whether a child is a boy or a girl is irrelevant for purposes of a birth certificate. And why do they say that? Because a vanishingly small percentage of the population has a mental illness that leads those sad people to believe that they’re in the wrong body.
Keep in mind that there is no study at all supporting the magical transgender theory. It is a purely psychological problem, often associated with severe childhood trauma, especially in the form of absentee fathers or insane mothers. Accepting as true person’s claim that he or she is really a member of the opposite sex is precisely the same as accepting as true an emaciated anorexic’s claim that she is morbidly obese – and offering her diet pills and stomach stapling.
Reality is not a construct. We can quibble about our approaches to reality (I say the fabric’s color is puce, you say it’s eggplant), but the real world exists. Gravity is a thing and even if you tell yourself you’re a bird, when you step off that roof and flap your arms, you’re not going anywhere but down.
When a society abandons reality – when it pretends that the genetic coding that dictates our body’s sex – is meaningless, that society is headed for a disastrous landing. Mentally ill men who think they’re women do not need to go to a gynecologist like Dr. Adashi because they do not have a uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or any of the other organs associated with a female animal’s prime function, which is to incubate babies.
Likewise, mentally ill women who think they’re men do need to go to that same gynecologist because their reproductive organs can fall prey to all sorts of unpleasant diseases and conditions that are best treated by someone trained in the area – something like Dr. Adashi, for example. When we start pretending that boys are girls and girls are boys, the pretend girls waste gynecologists’ time, while the real girls pretending to be boys dangerously ignore their biological needs.
Once doctors start playing along with these anti-science, anti-reality fantasies, these same doctors lose the trust of the 95% or so of Americans who inhabit a fact-based world in which human animals with penises are boys and human animals with vaginas are girls. And what sane person would trust a doctor, of all people, who can’t tell the two apart?
And that get’s us back to those vaccines the college-educated, increasingly leftist medical establishment is insisting we must take. It seems that many are asking themselves when it comes to a vaccine that was rushed into production, why they should take medical advice from a doctor who is incapable of telling a boy from a girl or a medical establishment that supports such madness.

San Francisco to rename Abraham Lincoln High School because former president did not demonstrate that 'black lives mattered to him' - as woke renaming committee also takes aim at Democrat senator Dianne Feinstein and Teddy Roosevelt
San Francisco Unified School District's renaming committee decided Abraham Lincoln High School will be renamed
Under his watch, Indigenous peoples had much of their land taken from them through the 1862 Homestead Act and the Pacific Railway Act
In 1864, the Lincoln administration oversaw the deportation of the Navajo tribe from their land in Arizona to march a brutal 450 mile journey to New Mexico
Lincoln was also behind the largest mass hanging in US history, where 38 Dakota men were condemned to death in Minnesota in 1862
But Lincoln also abolished slavery in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation
44 of the 125 schools in the San Francisco Unified School District to be renamed
Other names include George Washington, Herbert Hoover and Thomas Edison
Senator Dianne Feinstein's name will be stripped from the Dianne Feinstein Elementary School for allowing the Confederate flag to fly outside City Hall
The renaming of the schools comes as part of a nationwide reckoning around racial justice that has seen statues toppled and military bases renamed
More crazy stuff her...

I'm certain that Biden just told us that now is the time that we should all act as one... Did I miss something ?
Now Oracle's exiting California for Texas. Will the last one in Silicon Valley, please turn out the lights?
If the outbound migration from Silicon Valley to Texas continues at its current clip, we may soon see a sign on southbound Highway 101 “Will the Last One in Silicon Valley, Please Turn Out the Lights?” (although California’s frequent blackouts might render the sign redundant).
Just 11 days after Hewlett Packard Enterprise, part of the firm that created Silicon Valley in 1939, announced it was moving its headquarters from San Jose, California to Houston, Texas, Oracle announced that its headquarters had moved to Austin, Texas from Redwood City, California.
Oracle, part of the S&P 100 with 138,000 employees, was founded 43 years ago in Silicon Valley. It’s not yet known if Larry Ellison, Oracle’s co-founder, Executive Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, is moving to Texas.
Of note, Ellison is the second-largest investor in Elon Musk’s Tesla.
ORACLE MOVING FROM CALIFORNIA TO TEXAS, JOINS TESLA, HEWLETT PACKARD
Musk announced a personal move out of California to Texas a few days ago. Musk has frequently clashed with California politicians and bureaucrats during the past year over COVID-19 restrictions and stifling governmental overreach, likening the state to a sports franchise that won for so long it has now forgotten what it takes to win.
California’s increasingly burdensome regulatory climate has driven Elon Musk’s Tesla to build a gigafactory in Texas outside of Austin. Within weeks of the announcement, the new plant was under construction.
In California, it would have taken five years just to navigate the environmental lawsuits — most of which are merely used as tools to extract concessions for union labor and other entrenched California special interests.

This couldn't happen to a nicer guy !
( Eric Swalwell is caught with a Chinese spy in his bed and he is blaming it on Trump ? Wow.. what a nut job ! )
You cannot make this up...
Yesterday, we reported on a widespread effort by China to inflitrate people at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence.” Most specifically that Christine Fang, also known as Fang Fang, was able to gain access to politicians through campaign fundraising, extensive networking and romantic or sexual relationships, according to Axios. She became particularly close with Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell, the report noted.
The extensively researched report, published by very left-leaning new media outlet Axios, found that a suspected Chinese spy developed close relationships with U.S. politicians as a way to gain access to and influence U.S. political circles.
But, Swalwell, who was one of the most outspoken lawmakers who pushed the Russia collusion narrative since Trump took office, as Fox News reports, is now claiming that the president was behind Axios' explosive reporting during an interview with Politico.
The utter desperation of Swalwell's attempt to distract from this debacle, by claiming that President Trump was somehow behind the Axios report, is mind-numbing to all but the most cognitively dissonant Trump-hating liberal.

YouTube to remove content that alleges widespread election fraud
YouTube said Wednesday it will start removing any content uploaded to its platform that contains allegations of widespread fraud or errors in the 2020 presidential election after Tuesday's so-called safe harbor deadline that essentially locked in President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
The deadline marked the date by which all states are required to have resolved any election-related disputes. President Trump, however, has not conceded in the race, even as state officials have certified their election results showing Biden has the Electoral College votes to be the 46th president.
In a blog post, YouTube said content “that misleads people by alleging that widespread fraud or errors changed the outcome” of the presidential election will be removed. The update applies to content uploaded Wednesday or anytime after.

US Election "Success"... And Hey Presto "Russian Interference" Disappears
( I'm sure that if the democrats lose the Georgia runoff election that the Russians will be back ! )
The United States’ election victory of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has yet to be officially confirmed. That requires the 500-plus Electoral College comprising the 50 federal states to cast the final vote when the constitutional body meets on December 14. Biden holds a commanding lead of over 300 delegates in the Electoral College, more than 70 above Donald Trump’s quota and decisively more than the 270 threshold required for election to the White House.
Nonetheless, already one thing is indisputably clear. Biden’s nominal victory from the popular vote tallies is glaring proof that Russia did not interfere in the American presidential ballot. Not in 2020. And not, we may discern, in 2016, nor in any other election. Yet the silence in US media over this obvious conclusion is deafening.
Four years of frenetic and unsubstantiated allegations of “Russian interference” have disappeared overnight, it seems. Poof! Gone! As if by a magic conjuring trick. Now you see it, now you don’t, so to speak.
The New York Times has declared the recent presidential contest a “great election.. a resounding success free of fraud”. The Department of Homeland Security pronounced the election to be the “most secure in American history.” Other US media outlets have jettisoned supposed political neutrality and can barely contain their elation at Biden’s electoral victory.
But hold on a moment.
In the months and weeks leading up to the November election, there was a fever pitch in US media among politicians, national security chiefs, pundits and anonymous intelligence sources that Russia was allegedly stepping up “interference efforts” to get Trump re-elected.
Those evidence-free claims were predicated on the equally absurd assertion that Trump was a Manchurian candidate for the Kremlin. That “Russiagate” fable was first spun in 2016 and for the past four years elaborated into a tangled web to “explain” how a maverick former reality TV star had been elected to the White House.
Suddenly, however, the Democrats and supportive US media are now asserting that the voting process was impeccable and unblemished by any malfeasance. Of course they would say that in order to bolster legitimacy of Biden’s win against the Republican White House incumbent Donald Trump. But the thundering takeaway which the US political class and media are bizarrely ignoring is that Russia did not interfere not in the 2020 race nor in any other election. Russia has always categorically said it is not meddling in US politics and its electoral process. Turns out that Russia is de facto vindicated in its protestations against American slander.

You can see day long testimonials of similar fraud if you watch streaming news programs rather than the conventional cable shows such as CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS etc. Even FOXNews is carrying very little of what's going on.
I recently stopped my cable service because I'm paying waaaay too much for 700 crap stations that I don't even watch. So I kept my internet connection and I get everything that I'm interested in with a single subscription to YoutubeTV.
Anyone that wants to know what is really going on re the election fraud needs to get the info from the streaming news providers such as NewsMax or RightSide Broadcasting. There are others... I'm still learning my way around the sources.
The election fraud is outrageous... Every thing from poll watchers being physically removed to 10's of thousands of ballots, all with the same birthdate, showing up in the middle of the night. What is going on is disgusting. And if they weren't able to provide enough fake votes the next step was to adjust the Dominion voting machines. One witness testified that THE USER MANUALS FOR DOMINION PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CREATE 1.3 VOTES FOR ONE CANDIDATE WHILE TAKING AWAY .3 VOTES FROM THE OTHER CANDIDATE. The Admin user name and password was taped to the tables beside each machine!
A US Postal Service truck driver testified that he delivered a tractor trailer full of ballots from New York to Pensilvania. I always thought that my vote is counted in my state, not in a different state where it might be needed to gain a majority.
Anyone interested in testimonials from the people that experienced this crap should watch the streaming news providers... Your regular news sources are ignoring most of this.
Nasdaq proposes new listing standards requiring board diversity and disclosure
Nasdaq Inc. filed Tuesday a proposal to adopt new listing rules, aiming to require board diversity and disclosure. If approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, all companies listing on the Nasdaq exchange will have to publicly disclose "consistent, transparent diversity statistics" regarding their board of directors. And most Nasdaq companies would have to have, or explain why they don't have, at least two "diverse" directors, including one female and one who self-identifies as either "an underrepresented minority" or LGBTQ+. "Nasdaq's purpose is to champion inclusive growth and prosperity to power stronger economies," said Chief Executive Adena Friedman. "Our goal with this proposal is to provide a transparent framework for Nasdaq-listed companies to present their board composition and diversity philosophy effectively to all stakeholders; we believe this listing rule is one step in a broader journey to achieve inclusive representation across corporate America."

Congress could select the president in a disputed election
If Trump can find a way to prevent the electoral college from voting, possibly with legal challenges, then the next president will be decided by the House.
In this event each state gets one vote depending on the makeup of the State's representatives... Republican or democrat. The Republicans would have the majority since there are more Republican states.

I was actually attempting to point out that when the conservative groups have their rally that things generally go in a peaceful manner but when the liberals do their stuff they end up burning the place down. Another example is the boarding up of businesses in major cities prior to the election and putting the national guard on alert in several places. That also ending up anti-climatic because Biden was/is considered to be the next president. Had the vote favored Trump it would have been a totally different story... The national guard would have been very busy.
They said that the guy in the video you linked to that was pushing everybody around was a Trump supporter. He got what he was asking for. I'm confident that his attitude has been adjusted a bit.
If Trump finds a way to prevail you will see the same thing again in spades... The liberal side will come out in large numbers and destroy everything in their path as an expression of free speech.
Bottom line... The two sides act very different.

SG&A only went up 10% with a doubling in sales. It’s a clue that management is willing to use available money to grow the business rather than pay it out as salaries. Often times when more is available you see SG&A go up a lot. That’s not the case here and that’s a very good sign.
Yes... it does look much better. This will get some attention.
Ex-CIA Chief Under Obama Urges Palace Coup Against Trump So He Doesn't "Declassify Everything"
Days ago amid the Trump administration's election challenge turmoil which has resulted in over a dozen lawsuits filed in several battleground states, Donald Trump Jr. urged the president to unleash the nuclear option: "DECLASSIFY EVERYTHING!!!" he wrote in all caps on Twitter. "We can't let the bad actors get away with it."
Others also picked up on the idea: "Here’s something constructive Trump could do before leaving office at noon on January 20: he could order — demand, insist — that all classified intel and other documents related to the origin of the Russia/election investigation be declassified and released to the public forthwith — unredacted," columnist Sheldon Richman wrote.
It didn't take long for this distinct possibility to attract the attention of both the mainstream media and the intelligence establishment which has so long been at odds (or even at 'war') with the president. Reacting specifically to the ouster of Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Monday, ex-CIA spy chief under the Obama administration John Brennan essentially urged a palace coup against Trump prior to January 20th to ensure he doesn't declassify anything sensitive or too revealing:
Pres. Trump is "like a cornered cat…he's going to lash out and the fact...that he has the powers of the presidency in his hands is quite worrisome."
Former CIA dir. John Brennan calls on VP Pence and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and strip Pres. Trump of his powers.
In the incredible Monday evening CNN interview, Brennan - himself responsible for stoking the now widely debunked Russiagate claims from the start of the Trump presidency - brazenly urged Vice President Mike Pence to seize power.
He asserted that despite Biden preparing to transition into the White House on inauguration day, still two months away, at this point Trump is a threat to national security:
"I’m very concerned what he might do in his remaining 70 days in office," said Brennan on Monday's edition of Cuomo Prime Time. "Is he going to take some type of military action? Is he going to release some type of information that could, in fact, threaten our national security interests?"
Brennan took things even further and added specifics in terms of what the former longtime spy chief wants to see happen: "If Vice President Pence and the cabinet had an ounce of fortitude and spine and patriotism, I think they would seriously consider invoking the 25th Amendment and pushing Donald Trump out because he is just very unpredictable now," he added.

ZeroHedge has a slightly different understanding of the Richard Pilger resignation...
""Having familiarized myself with the new policy and its ramifications... I must regretfully resign from my role as director of the Election Crimes Branch."
Does it not seem odd that when asked to investigate voter fraud, the gentleman who is in charge of investigating voter fraud chooses to resign rather than do his f**king job?
Perhaps it was his alleged involvement in the Lois Lerner IRS targeting Tea Party groups debacle that triggered this resignation?"

An Analysis Of Vice President Biden’s Economic Agenda: The Long Run Impacts Of Its Regulation, Taxes, And Spending
Click here to download this report.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report explores the potential impact of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s proposals on the economy as a whole. We conclude that in the long run, Biden’s agenda would reduce full time equivalent employment per person by about 3 percent, the capital stock per person by about 15 percent, real GDP per capita by more than 8 percent, and real consumption per household by about 7 percent. Relative to the CBO’s 2030 projections for these variables, this suggests there will be 4.9 million fewer employed individuals, $2.6 trillion less in GDP, and $1.5 trillion less consumption in that year alone. Median household income in 2030 would be $6,500 less.
While these effects may seem large, they are actually conservative estimates of the negative impact of the full Biden agenda.
Our report specifically assesses the impact of policies in four areas: taxation, health insurance, regulation, and energy policy. It estimates the changes in incentives that the policies produce, and then incorporates those changes into a macroeconomic model commonly relied upon in the academic literature.
We reach three key conclusions:
First, transportation and electricity will require a lot more inputs (including 1.3 million net additional energy workers) to produce the same outputs because of Biden’s ambitious plans to further cut the nation’s carbon emissions. Because these industries are a nontrivial share of the overall economy, that means 1 or 2 percent less total factor productivity overall. These effects would be significantly larger —likely dwarfing the (nontrivial) rest of the agenda—if the energy goals are taken literally. The costs would also be concentrated geographically.
Second, labor wedges (the amount of the value created by additional work that goes to third parties) are increased by proposed changes to regulation as well as to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The quantitative findings for the ACA should be no surprise given the findings from previous efforts in the United States and other countries to expand health insurance coverage.
Third, Biden’s agenda reduces capital intensity by increasing average marginal tax rates on capital.
Increases in the business tax rates would come primarily from three proposed changes: raising the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, phasing out the qualified business income (QBI) deduction, and extending the payroll tax to income above $400,000. The phase-out of the QBI deduction raises marginal tax rates on pass-through business income, and the extension of the payroll tax raises marginal tax rates on sole proprietorship and partnership income through the self-employment tax.
Pass-through entities employ more than 40 million workers in the United States, and the fully phased in Biden plan would increase the top tax rate on these entities by more than 25 percent, especially because of the payroll tax increase. We estimate that 73 percent of firms would face this tax increase. The report provides estimates of the share of total employment in the aggregate and in each state occurring in pass-through businesses facing tax hikes in 2020 under the Biden plan. These affected shares of total employment range from a low of 31 percent in Hawaii to 51 percent in Idaho. Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming would be particularly hard hit, as pass-through businesses provide a majority of employment in each of these states.
Biden’s energy proposals are intended to wean the United States from its reliance on fossil fuels, both in transportation and in power generation. Unless Americans drive a lot less, the electrification of all, or even most, passenger vehicles would increase the per capita demand for electric power by about 25 percent at the same time that more than 70 percent of the baseline supply (i.e., electricity generated from fossil fuels) would be taken off line and an additional 11 percent (nuclear) would not expand. To put the 25 percent figure in perspective: that is the amount of the cumulative increase in electricity generation per person since 1979, a period during which nuclear and natural gas generation tripled.
Another way to visualize the scale of these policy changes is to start with the observation that the value of the deposits of fossil fuels in the ground, according to our estimates, is about $5 trillion. Even under conservative assumptions that include much less draconian reductions in fossil fuel use than would follow from a literal interpretation of the Biden plan, we find that the sharp reduction reduces American mineral wealth by $6,800 per household.
As for health insurance coverage, Biden proposes four major changes to the individual markets created by the Affordable Care Act. First, premium tax credits would become more generous. Second, premium tax credit eligibility would be expanded by eliminating the income ceiling. Third, the federal government would offer plans alongside private exchange plans. Fourth, people ages sixty to sixty-four (many of whom were ACA customers) could buy into Medicare. All of these potentially affect marginal tax rates on employment and labor income.
We estimate that the combination of these ACA modifications resembles an increase in average marginal labor income tax rates of 2.4 percentage points. These higher rates contribute significantly to our estimates of the labor market effects of Biden’s policy proposals.
Finally, if we assume that the Biden plan would return regulatory policy to the path set by the previous administration, then recent literature allows us to measure the added opportunity costs to society of the heightened regulations. Our analysis suggests these amount to $279 billion per year.
Economists have paid little attention to the economic effects of the Biden plan as a whole. This report suggests that these effects are potentially very large indeed.
