![]() Note: Esper served as Chief of Staff at The Heritage Foundation think tank. Update: Trump Fires Insubordinate Esper Background: Trump threatened to restore law and order through the Insurrection Act and when his own Secretary of Defense Mark Esper undercut him, he backed off. Who is in charge anyway? Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark A. Milley has in effect denounced Trump for including him in that photo-op in front of the church. Why does Milley still have a job? This seems like a “Seven Days in May” scenario where the top brass revolt against their Commander-in-Chief. In the movie, the president wins. In real life, who knows?

From a Trump campaign insider:
”Ok in a nutshell. This is going to the Supreme Court. Where they will rule that the election is invalid due to fraud or mistakes on a countrywide scale. It will go one of two ways, either they will rule that all the unconstitutional mail-in ballots will be removed and the states ordered to recount without them or they will simply rule the election is invalid due to mass voter fraud and at that point it will be sent to the congress and senate for a vote. This is where it gets good. The house/congress votes on who the President will be. It has nothing to do with what party that has power. Every State gets one vote and 30 States are held by Republicans and 19 by Democrats. They have to vote down party lines, they have no choice due to the 12th Amendment of the Constitution and the Senate votes for the Vice President where a similar even will take place. This is The law. This is why the Democrats are so mad at Nancy Pelosi. This will all happen in January. The only way President Trump won’t be President is if he concedes the election and that will never happen. So stop watching the fake news and don’t let your heart be troubled and live your life knowing this will all work out. President Trump will remain President.
The 2020 "Selections" - News Networks Don’t VOTE, Count or Certify Elections
By JB Williams – November 9, 2020 © CDJ News Excerpt: If the U.S. Supreme Court fails to ensure the visible integrity of this election cycle, the people will have no other means of redress but the streets. It is the LAST RESORT, but this right of the people is fundamental to freedom and liberty, codified in our Declaration of Independence. By JB Williams Everything we have witnessed in the 2020 “Selections” so far, including the late Friday night or Saturday “projections” that Joe Biden won, we anticipated long ago. We expected the fraud to be unprecedented and it has been. We expected the “deep state” to be totally prepared to steal the 2020 “Selections” via numerous methods and we have witnessed ALL of those methods in play. We saw in late January and certainly by April Fool’s Day, that the news media and social media giants were all totally in the tank for this “global reset” when they all jumped on board the COVID19 (aka the common cold, SARS 2.0) fear-mongering train, keeping American people locked down, out of work, fearful for their health, increasingly dependent upon government assistance and forced in large part to accept fraud-ridden “mail-in” balloting. At this moment, the United States of America is the laughingstock of the world as the visibly most corrupted country on earth. The entire world knew that empty vessel Joe Biden and totally unqualified Kamala Harris had no real chance in any honest election process. They also knew, as many of us did, that 2020 was going to be the most fraudulent election in the history of elections, anywhere on earth. Even Iraqi’s were stopped from illegal voting by way of purple inked fingers. Americans DID NOT vote for higher taxes, less freedom or a return to $5 a gallon gas prices. We DID NOT vote for lockdowns and masks, much less another year or two of it, as promised by the Biden Campaign repeatedly. Get real! We the People DID NOT vote for unemployment or any government handouts. It just didn’t happen! PROJECTIONS are NOT Election Results IGNORE THESE DEEP STATE ACTORS! News Networks have no more access to the votes, the vote counting or election certifications than you or I. They have been telling the American people all year that Biden and Harris would win the 2020 elections. But their polls and projections have been so wrong for so long, that almost no one believed them. Pollsters were projecting that they would all be out of business if they got another election wrong… so, THEY MUST BE RIGHT! Right? News networks don’t vote. They don’t count votes and they don’t certify elections in this country. They only issue “projections,” just like they issue pollster “projections” ahead of the elections. But all of their “projections” are based entirely on the counting of “illegal votes” in numerous states. Most notably, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada. When these so-called “news outlets” rarely even mentioned the term “fraud,” it was usually accompanied by the term “conspiracy theory” and often discounted by their uneducated opinion that “there is no such evidence.” However, despite massive efforts by all social media giants to shut down all voices not on-board the Biden train, a flood of video, audio, credible eyewitness accounts and “whistleblowers” are circulating the globe via those platforms. The “news media” can deny the evidence for a while, but not forever. Sooner or later, that evidence flooding the internet is going to bury every single denier who claims to be an honest journalist, and every network with them. THE FRAUD HAPPENED THIS WAY If there are 100 ways to commit election fraud, the global left has used all of them this time, desperate to defeat the American people and usher in global Marxism and the communist global reset. Fundamentally, they are stealing this election via these broad measures…
Now, the people doing this in the news media, have been telling you that ANTIFA and BLM events were all “peaceful protests” even as every American watched them vandalize, loot and burn cities across the country for the past six months, live on TV. Believe them still? Simply stated, the massive fraud can only stand if… a) the news media will hide it; b) the fraud is happening in darkness and most importantly; c) the American people accept it all as the “new norm” in America, where no election from this day forward, will ever be legal, honest, fair or free, ever again! This circumstance we find ourselves in today, isn’t about Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Republican v. Democrat or anything “typical” in American politics. It’s about much, MUCH more… If this disaster is allowed to stand as-is, as-of this moment, the United States is GONE! No matter political partisan interests, NO AMERICAN can afford to stand idly by and allow brazen corruption and fraud to determine the future of this country. Not now and NOT EVER! IT MUST BE STOPPED – BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY Peacefully and legally is the first option, but it isn’t the final option. EVERY AMERICAN should be able to agree on ONE thing if nothing else…. EVERY LEGAL VOTE MUST BE COUNTED and THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ILLEGAL VOTES or ILLEGAL VOTERS. Because evidence of massive fraud exists in numerous states via numerous methods, the U.S. Supreme Court MUST step in and order ALL states in question to STOP counting and reporting, with a 30-day deadline to complete a ballot-by-ballot hand count, before any election results can be certified anywhere! Suits have been filed already with the Supreme Court and the court cannot sit this out on the sidelines. If they do, they are placing every other means of resolving this disaster in the hands of the people at large and they will then be directly responsible for everything that happens next. If a ballot-by-ballot hand count in at least the seven states identified above, cannot guarantee the American people that a free, fair election has taken place, due to too much fraud involved to be able to sort it all out, then a NEW ELECTION must be held right away in every state where evidence of election fraud is present. In this event, the new election must be vote in person on election day only! There is ZERO public confidence in these mail-in voting systems at this point. The Last Resort is Fast Approaching We can already see that the Governors, Secretaries, Attorney Generals and Election Commissions in these states are NOT trustworthy. Even law enforcement officers sent out to intimidate and even arrest polling officials for refusing to violate election laws, cannot be trusted either, especially in Pennsylvania and Michigan. If the U.S. Supreme Court fails to ensure the visible integrity of this election cycle, the people will have no other means of redress but the streets. It is the LAST RESORT, but this right of the people is fundamental to freedom and liberty, codified in our Declaration of Independence. In this case, voter against voter in some Civil War is NOT the proper solution. A full-scale rebellion against the people truly responsible for this, is the appropriate solution. That includes all of the people at the TOP who are in the position to either carry out this blatant coup d'état against the American people, be they politician, media personalities, judges, social media moguls, global financiers behind it all, every last one of them. Now, to be very clear…. I am not calling for, inciting, organizing, hoping or praying for any such rebellion, in fact, quite the contrary. I, like many others, am working around the clock to find peaceful, legal solutions. But sooner or later, I’m afraid President John F. Kennedy was right, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." For most Americans, Patrick Henry was right too! “Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!” Bottom line, any person who opposes EVERY LEGAL VOTE BEING COUNTED in broad daylight, is not an American at all! TRUMP MUST FIGHT TO THE FINISH! Not for himself or the GOP, but for EVERY AMERICAN! ![]() America Is Worse Than Communist Venezuela By Cliff Kincaid – November 9, 2020 Using a strange choice of words, Mary Anastasia O’Grady of the Wall Street Journal wrote years ago about how the communist regime in Venezuela held “the trump card” in national elections because the national electoral council uses electronic voting machines, controls the voter registry, and does not allow opposition audits. She added, “Government critics long held that London-based Smartmatic, which used to provide the regime with voting-machine technology, was complicit in its shenanigans.” Now we find out about electronic voting machines in the U.S. which are becoming known for computer “glitches.” Here, we don’t have a “national electoral council.” But we do have “news” agencies which pick winners and Big Tech organizations that defend election fraud. The Epoch Times is one of the few newspapers which won’t declare a winner until all results are certified and any legal challenges are resolved. It points out, “State legislatures and the Electoral College are the bodies that certify presidential elections.” Now we have learned that Diane Feinstein's husband Richard Blum is connected to the computer “glitches” switching Trump votes to Biden. A report from a neutral source confirms the suspicious nature of this arrangement. We are no better than communist Venezuela. In fact, we are in worse shape, since America is supposed to be the leader of the Free World, an example to other countries. Venezuela has one set of electronic voting machines, and we have another. That’s the difference. Plus, the mail-in voting schemes that President Trump warned about were utilized as well. That makes America’s elections even more suspicious. In America we have an Orwellian “Ministry of Truth” which serves the Deep State. For example, if you go to this video about the election process, from the point of view of an attorney sympathetic to Trump, you will find this claim inserted by Facebook, “Election officials follow strict rules when it comes to ballot counting, handling and reporting.” The source is the “Bipartisan Policy Center.” Sounds impressive. Of course, the claim is false, since there are multiple reports of fraudulent vote counting. Facebook and Twitter treat the American people like dummies eager for direction from the self-appointed “experts.” It would be ridiculous were it not so serious. Twitter even inserts warning signs on most Trump Tweets about fraud. Remember Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote? Her group was harassed by the IRS and other federal agencies under Barack Hussein Obama. She testified, “In 2010, I filed two non-profit applications with the IRS, one for True the Vote, and the other for a community group I had also started called King Street Patriots. Since those filings in 2010, my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and I personally, have been subjected to more than fifteen instances of audit, inquiry, for investigation by federal agencies, including the IRS, OSHA, ATF, and the FBI.” She understood from the start that the elections themselves were being targeted. That is why the Obama/Biden Administration came down on her like a ton of bricks. In regard to mail-in voting in 2020, she had warned in advance:
All of this was predicted and yet the media allowed these questionable practices to proceed and in fact defended them. Now, commentators such as CNBC’s Jim Cramer cite Chris Christie as someone who is claiming there’s no proof of fraud and that Trump should just get over his “anger.” It turns out that Christie is the Trump “adviser” who recommended Christopher Wray as Trump’s FBI director. It was Wray who failed to lift a finger to stop the anticipated vote fraud. Ironically, all of this is occurring as the United States is considering imposing sanctions on certain people in Belarus for supposedly being “involved in falsifying the results” of an election there. For his part, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko looks at what is happening in the U.S. and comments, “The bulwark of democracy. Look what is happening with these elections. This is a disgrace, a mockery of this democracy.” He’s right. America is a laughing stock. Our system is falling apart, worse than Venezuela and Belarus. An article about Belarus noted that its president “added that the U.S. elections are being held with serious violations, and the Western countries and the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe] will be afraid to demand re-elections, as they demand from Belarus.” He’s right again. The Europeans won’t demand new elections in the U.S. because they hate Trump and want Biden’s New World Order implemented under the rubric of the “Great Reset.” This scam is global. *For updates, please go to www.usasurvival.org and use he contact form. Former Presidents, Prime Ministers, UN leaders and Government Ministers Call for a Strengthened United Nations System
September, 2020 Open letter: To Heads of Government, United Nations Member States A Time for Renewal: Calling for a Strengthened Multilateral System Excellencies, As former ministers of government and United Nations officials, we are deeply concerned that the institutional framework of global governance, with the United Nations at its core, must do more to provide the guidance, leadership and decisions required to ensure human safety, security and sustainable development in our interdependent world. From climate change to human rights, gender and racial equality, and from sustainable development to international peace and security – the international community should honor its commitments to the UN’s founding Charter, Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement. There is a crying need for a stronger, more accountable, inclusive multilateral system that encompasses renewed intergovernmental initiatives with the full participation of civil society and key stakeholders. COVID-19 has underscored humanity’s shared vulnerability, with disproportionate impacts on women and girls. The devastating consequences of the pandemic are felt first and foremost in the loss of human lives, but also in economic costs and deepening social inequality. Recovery from the COVID19 pandemic and institutional retooling go hand in hand. They both call for national leadership and effective global cooperation. Yet even before the beginning of the pandemic, multilateralism was under threat and weakened by withdrawals from important treaties and forums, budget cuts and the failure to uphold international law. As the international community commemorates the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, this is a time not only to celebrate past achievements, but also to take stock of the need for reforms that strengthen the Organization. We therefore call on world leaders, meeting virtually this September 21:
As we address a weakened global order, this is not a time for governments to remain idle, but rather to scale up their commitments and actions for a world that is fairer, more inclusive and sustainable. Let future generations look back on 2020 as the year when humanity, its leaders and decision makers recognized the need for a shared future of dignity, hope and prosperity for all. And let us use this 75th anniversary of the United Nations as an opportunity to inspire and speed up the actions so urgently needed to honor the principles and vision enshrined in the United Nations Charter. Sincerely,

Socialist International A welcome victory for Biden in the USA 7 November 2020 The Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has surpassed the threshold of votes in the Electoral College to win the US presidential election. In addition, the former vice-president received the largest majority of votes ever cast for a presidential candidate in US history. Thus, the majority of American people have chosen building consensus and empathy over animosity and division. We congratulate the president-elect Joe Biden, his running mate Kamala Harris, and the Democratic Party on their successful campaign. In a record-breaking election, voter turnout reached unprecedented levels. The increased participation in the democratic process by the American people is one of the outstanding features of these elections, and electoral authorities across the country should also be commended for their dedication to ensuring that all valid votes were counted, in particular in light of the challenges posed by holding an election at the height of the coronavirus pandemic and the unfounded calling into question of the democratic process by the sitting president. Joe Biden’s commitment to governing in the interests of all Americans, regardless of party affiliation, is commendable and contrasts greatly with the outgoing administration. After four years during which the leadership of the United States followed a narrow approach to key global issues, the announced priorities of the President-elect are a welcome change, with his commitment to tackle and overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, combat climate change, build economic prosperity, secure health care for all, eliminate systemic racism, defend human and women’s rights and to strengthen democracy. These are common challenges and cannot be solved by nations working alone. The victory of Joe Biden offers an opportunity to strengthen multilateralism in a world which greatly needs it for the benefit of all. We social democrats from around the globe are convinced that the outcome of this presidential election will have many positive repercussions for both the USA and for the world, and we wish the president-elect every success. Why the Biden Call For Unity Rings Hollow
By J.C. Hawkins - November 8, 2020 Now that the Elite Traitor Media (ETM) has held a coronation for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, let’s put its irresponsibility into perspective. With the Trump campaign pursing legal action in potentially as many as 10 states, it’s clear the media and Republican turncoats have jumped the gun. For sure, at least two states (Wisconsin and Georgia) will have to undergo a recount. They’re showing absolutely no respect for the rule of law, the role of state legislatures, or the United States Constitution. You would think there might be a few of those folks who can recall the drawn-out conclusion to the 2000 election. Nonetheless, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris soldier on, basking in their phony victory, issuing calls for all Americans to join in a giant “Kumbaya.” For those of us on The Forgotten Street, Main Street USA, those calls ring very hollow. First, we easily recall how quickly Democrats, backstabbing Republicans, and the ETM turned on President-Elect Donald J. Trump, forming a “resistance” that began even before Inauguration Day, January 20, 2016. Worst of the lot by far were former presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. They never provided their successor with the respect and cooperation previous presidents showed to them. They totally disgrace the office they once held. Beginning in the 2016 campaign with Hillary Clinton, Trump supporters were subjected to relentless attacks as “racists, Nazis, deplorables, you name it.” So, after The Deep State, Far Left, Democrats, ETM and Never Trumpers have treated us like irredeemable Neanderthals by urinating all over us, they’re trying to tell us it was only raining. The level of pure hatred, scorn, disdain, and disgust they’ve shown for us is completely unforgivable. Should the Biden/Harris election theft stand, they must understand they will be accorded the same level of respect and support Donald Trump received in 2016 as a newly-elected president. They’ve alienated at least 70 million American voters, and quite frankly, have no recourse to win them over. More interestingly, Far Left members in the Democrat Party have started grumbling as well. The Bolsheviks aren’t interested in national unity. They are compiling lists of Trump supporters they want to eliminate in one fashion or another. The 2020 election has produced some incredible results, in addition to the presidential stalemate. President Trump has achieved the highest vote total ever for any sitting president, as well as the best numbers for a Republican among minority voters. Pending the outcome of the Georgia runoff elections for U.S. Senate, it appears Republicans will maintain control of the upper chamber of Congress. More importantly, the GOP picked up seats in the House of Representatives, narrowing the margin of majority for Democrats. Included in that total are a dozen conservative Republican women. At the state level, the GOP continues to strengthen its grip on governorships and state legislatures. Given those results, it’s obvious President Trump has expanded the Republican base by bringing in potentially millions of new voters. For his incredible work and powerful coattail effect for down ballot Republicans, he still suffers the scorn of a number of Deep State Republicans, who are more concerned with feathering their own nests than building a dominant national political party. Foremost among them are the two remaining politicians in the Bush Crime Family, George and Jeb. They couldn’t wait to congratulate Joe Biden on his alleged “victory.” The Bush family is the driver of the Never Trumper movement, most likely because they don’t want their rampant crimes and disloyalty to America to be revealed. There’s no shortage of GOP globalist turncoats, who never appreciated the brilliance of the America First foreign policy doctrine and how it resonated with everyday working class Americans. Included in this Legion of Shame are: Mitt Romney; Chris Christie; Ben Sasse; Larry Hogan; Charlie Baker; Pat Toomey; Paul Ryan; Nikki Haley; and Dan Crenshaw. Across the aisle, Democrats are celebrating: some a Joe Biden victory; others a Donald Trump defeat. It’s clear there remains a severe fissure between more traditional Democrats and younger progressives who don’t think the party has turned far enough to the Left. It’s possible that over the next few years, the two major political parties could totally fracture into four distinct factions, making it difficult for favorites to emerge as presidential contenders in 2024. Even with a 2020 defeat, the Trump movement is not going to go away quietly. There’s no question it’s been the most successful grassroots movement in American political history. We are no longer “deplorables.” We are “unconquerables.” America First and Make America Great Again still resonate with the folks on The Forgotten Street. They will continue to do so. It’s interesting to ponder how all this may evolve. If somehow the Biden Steal succeeds, that would mean Donald Trump would be eligible for another run at the White House. It’s highly unlikely that Joe Biden will still be the occupant of the Oval Office by then. Just remember this: Grover Cleveland. Karma is a funny beast. Thanks for reading! The fireworks truly begin tomorrow as the legal maneuvers intensify. Both Rudy Giuliani and Dick Morris appeared on Newsmax TV today to provide background on what’s ahead. It’s worth recognizing Donald Trump still has a little more than two months remaining as President of the United States should the Biden Steal succeed. There’s a lot he can accomplish in terms of declassification of documents related to the Obama Administration’s spying on his campaign and presidency. The power of the pardon is a powerful option as well. Like Samson, he can tear down the Deep State temple if he so chooses. ![]() America’s Venezuela-style Election Farce By Cliff Kincaid – November 8, 2020 America sanctions communists in foreign countries who steal elections. Here, communists commit the fraud and expect to occupy the White House. The Biden-Harris movement should be considered an army of occupation. President Trump, with more legal votes on election day, should remain in office. Trump has said that he won, and he’s right. We have to protect the president from this coup. Today’s situation is comparable to the war of 1812, when British forces burned the White House. Later, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in a speech to the U.S. Congress about how the British embassy celebrated that event, would say, “Sorry about that.” People laughed. We should not be laughing now. They are threatening to burn down our country by taking the White House on the basis of fraudulent votes. Biden said Saturday night he wanted to bring Americans together, and then proceeded to divide us up, saying, “I’m proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse coalition in history. Democrats, Republicans, independents, progressives, moderates, conservatives, young, old, urban, suburban, rural, gay, straight, transgender, white, Latino, Asian, Native American.” Transgender? Remember it was Biden who promised that 8-year-olds could pick their gender identities with “zero discrimination.” This is demonic. It’s more Cultural Marxism, of the kind that has already devastated our families. Regarding the election, we already have enough evidence demonstrating that massive fraud took place. People saw it for themselves. The mysterious votes out of nowhere which arrived the early morning after the election and turned several states against Trump constitute the proof we need. This is the kind of thing that happens in Venezuela. One analyst noted that the U.S. has now become the joke of the world due to the depraved, ignominious, and low-class cheaters carrying out this fraud in front of us. “It was similar to Venezuela,” he noted, “when the governing party halted the vote count when trailing in the night.” At daybreak, he said, “everybody knew that they had come from behind in every state and never looked back! It is typical to cheat at night.” Back in 2017 the U.S. Treasury actually sanctioned several communist officials in Venezuela for being “associated with undermining electoral processes, media censorship, or corruption…” The U.S. said that state elections in Venezuela “were marked by numerous irregularities that strongly suggest fraud helped the ruling party unexpectedly win a majority of governorships.” Are you kidding? That is what is happening here. Censorship? Look at Twitter, Google, and YouTube. Corruption? Look at Hunter Biden’s laptop. Irregularities? Start with Philadelphia and Detroit. We have photos of “vote counting” facilities in Detroit being boarded up and concealed, in violation of the law. That allowed thousands of votes to be secretly brought on to change election outcomes. The fraudsters have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar, by virtue of the crumbs on their smiling faces. They are laughing at us, the American people, thinking they have pulled off a heist and there’s nothing we can do about it. In addition to what attorney David Evans has documented in Detroit, anybody with even basic curiosity can find stories like this, many the result of the fraudulent mail-in voting schemes:
Regarding those computer “glitches,” the forensic files in this case lead to Langley, Virginia, headquarters of the CIA, whose current and former officials constituted the Deep State base of support for the Biden/Harris ticket. The agency has been implicated by such figures as retired Lt. General Thomas McInerney in a vote fraud scheme using surveillance and hacking technology developed by the NSA. Those doubting what happened should think back to when Russia-gate prosecutor Robert Mueller filed suit against Russians in the “Internet Research Agency” and other groups alleging interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. It sounded serious and important. The Russians had been caught red-handed! Then, all of a sudden, the case was dropped against the one Russian company fighting the charges in a U.S. court. The case was dropped because the Russians were seeking documents about what U.S. intelligence agencies know or did about these “crimes.” A news outlet sympathetic to Mueller said his group of lawyers argued that the company’s request to have sensitive new evidence sent to Russia “unreasonably risks the national security interests of the United States.” The lawsuit, in other words, was just a show. And when the Russians defended themselves and demanded the evidence, Mueller’s boys tucked-tail and ran. Perhaps the Russians were seeking to expose the fact that real election interference comes from U.S. intelligence agencies. Perhaps the same technology that was used to “monitor” what the Russians were doing can be used against the American people. Is this the “state secret” the U.S. intelligence establishment doesn’t want revealed? One disturbing report from attorney David Evans concerned the “rather unusual looking” so-called “police officers” that were used to keep observers and Republican challengers from looking inside the vote-counting places. He explained, “I say unusual because their uniforms were not consistent. Some did not have badges and some were not well groomed.” Who were these people? It’s the same question I asked when I covered the mysterious death of former Clinton lawyer Vincent Foster and a witness in the case was followed and harassed. The witness, Patrick Knowlton, had evidence Foster did not kill himself, as the media and a special prosecutor claimed. Foster had secretive NSA binders before he was found dead. In the middle of all this stands President Trump, fighting against the Deep State, Big Tech, Big Media, and other forces. While Trump has an impressive legal team, and they are pursuing actions regarding hundreds of thousands of illegal votes that must be thrown out, one of my readers suggests a legal case to correct the fraud in all states by highlighting the “glitch” that switched thousands of votes from Trump to Biden. The voting systems need to be scrutinized immediately. The role of intelligence agencies in the fraud must be exposed. Two months ago Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared, in regard to Venezuela, that “conditions for free and fair elections do not exist” and the U.S. would not recognize a scheduled “electoral farce” there. America’s November 3 election was a farce, and everybody knows it. One of my readers responds to the effect, “Are you saying that when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, it was an honest election, but now it’s a rigged election?” The answer is “Darn tootin.” They didn't expect Trump to win in 2016 and didn't prepare. They did prepare this time. You’re a sucker if you haven’t figured it out. *For updates, please use the contact form at www.usasurvival.org Kamala Harris: Good evening. Good evening. Good evening. Thank you. Thank you. Good evening. Thank you. Good evening. So Congressman John Lewis, Congressman John Lewis, before his passing, wrote, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” What he meant was that America’s democracy is not guaranteed. It is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it, to guard it and never take it for granted. Protecting our democracy takes struggle, it takes sacrifice, but there is joy in it and there is progress, because we, the people, have the power to build a better future. When our very democracy was on the ballot in this election, with the very soul of America at stake, and the world watching, you ushered in a new day for America. To our campaign staff and volunteers, this extraordinary team, thank you for bringing more people than ever before into the democratic process and for making this victory possible. To the poll workers and election officials across our country, who have worked tirelessly to make sure every vote is counted, our nation owes you a debt of gratitude. You have protected the integrity of our democracy. And to the American people who make up our beautiful country, thank you for turning out in record numbers to make your voices heard. I know times have been challenging, especially the last several months, the grief, sorrow, and pain, the worries and the struggles, but we have also witnessed your courage, your resilience, and the generosity of your spirit. For four years, you marched and organized for equality and justice for our lives and for our planet. Then you voted and you delivered a clear message. You chose hope and unity, decency, science, and, yes, truth. You chose Joe Biden as the next president of the United States of America. Joe is a healer, a uniter, a tested and steady hand, a person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us as a nation reclaim our own sense of purpose, and a man with a big heart who loves with abandon. It’s his love for Jill, who will be an incredible First Lady. It’s his love for Hunter and Ashley and his grandchildren and the entire Biden family. While I first knew Joe as vice president, I really got to know him as the father who loved Beau, my dear friend who we remember here today. And to my husband Doug and our children Cole and Ella and my sister Maya and our whole family, I love you all more than I can ever express. We are so grateful to Joe and Jill for welcoming our family into theirs on this incredible journey. And to the woman most responsible for my presence here today, my mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris, who is always in our hearts. When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn’t quite imagine this moment. But she believed so deeply, and in America, where a moment like this is possible. And so, I am thinking about her and about the generations of women, Black women, Asian, white, Latina, Native American women who, throughout our nation’s history, have paved the way for this moment tonight, women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality and liberty and justice for all, including the Black women who are often too often overlooked, but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy. Kamala Harris: (07:13) All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century, 100 years ago with the 19th Amendment, 55 years ago with the Voting Rights Act, and now in 2020 with a new generation of women in our country who cast their ballots and continue the fight for their fundamental right to vote and be heard. Tonight I reflect on their struggle, their determination, and the strength of their vision to see what can be unburdened by what has been. I stand on their shoulders. What a testament it is to Joe’s character, that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exist in our country and select a woman as his vice president. But while I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities. To the children of our country, regardless of your gender, our country has sent you a clear message: dream with ambition, lead with conviction, and see yourselves in a way that others may not, simply because they’ve never seen it before. But know that we will applaud you every step of the way. And to the American people, no matter who you voted for, I will strive to be a vice president like Joe was to President Obama, loyal, honest, and prepared, waking up every day thinking of you and your family, because now is when the real work begins, the hard work, the necessary work, the good work, the essential work to save lives and beat this epidemic, to rebuild our economy so it works for working people, to root out systemic racism in our justice system and society, to combat the climate crisis, to unite our country and heal the soul of our nation. The road ahead will not be easy, but America is ready, and so are Joe and I. We have elected a president who represents the best in us, a leader the world will respect and our children will look up to, a commander-in-chief who will respect our troops and keep our country safe, and a president for all Americans. And it is now my great honor to introduce the President-elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden. Joe Biden Speech Transcript Hello, my fellow Americans and the people who brought me to dance, Delawareans. I see my buddy Senator Tom Carper down there and I think Senator Coons is there and I think the governor’s around. Is that Ruth Ann? And now former governor Ruth Ann Minner. Most importantly, my sisters-in-law and my sister Valerie. Anyway, folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They’ve delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory, a victory for we the people. We’ve won with the most votes ever cast for a presidential ticket in the history of the nation, 74 million. Well, I must admit it surprised me. Tonight, we’ve seen all over this nation, all cities in all parts of the country, indeed across the world, an outpouring of joy, of hope, renewed faith, and tomorrow bring a better day. I’m humbled by the trust and confidence you’ve placed in me. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide but unify, who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States, and work with all my heart, with the confidence of the whole people, to win the confidence of all of you. For that is what America, I believe, is about. It’s about people. And that’s what our administration will be all about. I sought this office to restore the soul of America, to rebuild the backbone of this nation, the middle class, and to make America respected around the world again and to unite us here at home. It’s the honor of my lifetime that so many millions of Americans have voted for that vision. Now the work of making that vision is real. It’s a task, the task, of our time. Folks, as I said many times before, I’m Jill’s husband, and I would not be here without her love and tireless support of Jill, and my son Hunter and Ashley, my daughter, and all our grandchildren and their spouses and all our family. They’re in my heart. Jill’s a mom, a military mom, an educator. She’s dedicated her life to education. But teaching isn’t just what she does. It’s who she is. For American educators, this is a great day for you all. You’re going to have one of your own in the White House. Jill’s going to make a great First Lady. I’m so proud of her. I’ll have the honor of serving with a fantastic vice president. You just heard from Kamala Harris, who makes history as the first woman, first Black woman, the first woman from South Asian descent, the first daughter of immigrants ever elected in this country. Don’t tell me it’s not possible in the United States. It’s long overdue. We’re reminded tonight of those who fought so hard for so many years to make this happen. But once again, America’s bent the arc of the moral universe, more toward justice. Kamala, Doug, like it or not, you’re family. You’ve become an honorary Biden. There’s no way out. To all those of you who volunteered and worked the polls in the middle of this pandemic, local elected officials, you deserve a special thanks from the entire nation. To my campaign team and all the volunteers, and all who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible, I owe you. I owe you. I owe you everything. All those who supported us, I’m proud of the campaign we built and ran. I’m proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse coalition in history. Democrats, Republicans, independents, progressives, moderates, conservatives, young, old, urban, suburban, rural, gay, straight, transgender, white, Latino, Asian, Native American. I mean it, especially in those moments and especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest ebb, the African American community stood up again for me. You’ve always had my back, and I’ll have yours. I said at the outset I wanted this campaign to represent and look like America. We’ve done that. Now that’s what I want the administration to look like and act like. For all those of you who voted for President Trump, I understand the disappointment tonight. I’ve lost a couple of times myself. But now let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again. To make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They’re Americans. They’re Americans. The Bible tells us to everything, there’s a season, a time to build, a time to reap and a time to sow, and a time to heal. This is the time to heal in America. Now this campaign is over, what is the will of people? What is our mandate? I believe it’s this: American have called upon us to marshal the forces of decency, the forces of fairness, to marshal the forces of science and the forces of hope in the great battles of our time, the battle to control the virus, the battle to build prosperity, the battle to secure your family’s healthcare, the battle to achieve racial justice and root out systemic racism in this country. And the battle to save our planet by getting climate under control. The battle to restore decency, defend democracy, and give everybody in this country a fair shot. That’s all they’re asking for: a fair shot. Folks, our work begins with getting COVID under control. We cannot repair the economy, restore our vitality, or relish life’s most precious moments, hugging our grandchildren, our children on our birthdays, weddings, graduations, all the moments that matter most to us until we get it under control. On Monday, I will name a group of leading scientists and experts as transition advisors, to help take the Biden-Harris COVID plan and convert it into an action blueprint that will start on January the 20th, 2021. That plan will be built on bedrock science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern. I will spare no effort, none, or any commitment to turn around this pandemic. Folks, I’m a proud Democrat, but I will govern as an American president. I’ll work as hard for those who didn’t vote for me as those who did. Let this grim era of demonization in America begin to end here and now. The refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not some mysterious force beyond our control, it’s a decision, a choice we make. If we can decide not to cooperate, then we can decide to cooperate. I believe that this is part of the mandate given to us from the American people. They want us to cooperate in their interests, and that’s the choice I’ll make. I’ll call on Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, to make that choice with me. The American story is about slow yet steadily widening the opportunities in America. Make no mistake, too many dreams have been deferred for too long. We must make the promise of the country real for everybody, no matter their race, their ethnicity, their faith, their identity, or their disability. Folks, America has always been shaped by inflection points by moments in time where we’ve made hard decisions about who we are and what we want to be: Lincoln in 1860 coming to save the union, FDR in 1932 promising a beleaguered country a new deal, JFK in 1960 pledging a new frontier, and 12 years ago when Barack Obama made history and told us, yes, we can. Well, folks, we stand at an inflection point. We have an opportunity to defeat despair, to build a nation of prosperity and purpose. We can do it. I know we can. I’ve long talked about the battle for the soul of America. We must restore the soul of America. Our nation is shaped by the constant battle between our better angels and our darkest impulses, and what presidents say in this battle matters. It’s time for our better angels to prevail. Tonight, the whole world is watching America, and I believe, at our best, America is a beacon for the globe. We will lead not only by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. I know I’ve always believed, and many of you heard me say it, I’ve always believed we can define America in one word: possibilities. That in America everyone should be given an opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God-given ability will take them. You see, I believe in the possibilities of this country. We’re always looking ahead, ahead to an America that’s freer and more just, ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect, ahead to an America that cures diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s, ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind, ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in. This is a great nation. It’s always been a bad bet to bet against America. We’re good people. This is the United States of America. There’s never been anything, never been anything, we’ve been not able to do when we’ve done it together. Folks, in the last days of the campaign, I began thinking about a hymn that means a lot to me and my family, particularly my deceased son, Beau. It captures the faith that sustains me and which I believe sustains America. I hope, and I hope, we can provide some comfort and solace to the 230,000 Americans who’ve lost a loved one due to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well. It goes like this. “And he will raise you up on eagle’s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, and make you just shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of His hand.” Now together on eagle’s wings, we embark on the work that God and history have called upon us to do. With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with love of country, a thirst for justice, let us be the nation that we know we can be, a nation united, a nation strengthened, a nation healed, the United States of America. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s never, never, been anything we’ve tried we’ve not been able to do. Remember, as my grandpappy said when I walked out of his home, when I was a kid up in Scranton, he said, “Joey, keep the faith.” And our grandmother, when she was alive, she yelled, “No, Joey. Spread it.” Spread the faith. God love you all. May God bless America and may God protect our troops. Thank you, thank you, thank you. |
