Most workers at NY nursing homes aren’t getting COVID-19 vaccine-By Carl Campanile, Bernadette Hogan, Kevin Sheehan and Bruce Golding-January 26, 2021 | 7:44pm2

So few staffers at one Queens nursing home have opted to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, that the facility on Tuesday warned its workers to get their shots now — or wait their turn like everyone else.Across the Empire State, vaccines have been administered to only about 44 percent of all employees at long-term care facilities, according to state officials.But at the Holliswood Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare, the vaccination rate among staff was at about 17 percent at the start of the week, officials said.That was expected to go up Tuesday, with workers telling the Post they faced a deadline to sign up for inoculations.“If we don’t get it today, they’re saying we have to wait until it’s open to the general public,” one worker said.Three employees said that between 25 and 50 of their colleagues lined up Tuesday to get the shots.But some workers said they had no intention of doing so themselves.“No, I ‘ain’t taking it! Hell no! Why? I don’t trust the government!” one man said.The 44 percent of long-term care workers now inoculated statewide is up slightly from the 37 percent that Cuomo reported on Jan. 18. Nursing home workers and residents were among the first in the state eligible to receive the vaccine.“We are concerned. It’s an extraordinary concern,” Gareth Rhodes, a member of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 Response Task Force, told The Post.By comparison, 72 percent of the state’s healthcare workers have been vaccinated, Cuomo said on Monday.Cuomo has threatened to reallocate the unused nursing home vaccines so they can be given to the general public, but Rhodes declined to say when that might happen.In July, state officials blamed infected workers for spreading the coronavirus among nursing home residents, whose official death toll from COVID-19 is now more than 8,000.Holliswood has 21 confirmed resident deaths from COVID-19, and another 40 suspected — a total that’s about 20 percent of its 314-bed capacity, according to official state figures.The nursing home is owned by Centers Health Care, which lists 51 facilities in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island on its website.A spokesman, Jeff Jacomowitz, acknowledged that the vaccination rate for workers at its New York City nursing homes was just 16 percent.But Jacomowitz said the company wasn’t trying to pressure its employees into getting inoculated.“By New York state law, we cannot make someone get vaccinated,” he said.

Trump officially opens ‘Office of the Former President-By Kenneth Garger-January 25, 2021 | 8:40pm | Updated

Former President Donald Trump has officially opened an office in Florida that will serve to continue his political agenda.A statement from the office Monday night said it will manage Trump’s correspondence, public statements, appearances and official activities to “advance the interest of the United States.”The office will also “carry on the agenda of the Trump Administration through advocacy, organizing, and public activism,” the statement says.The move comes less than a week after Trump left the Oval Office.Last Friday, Trump said he will make a comeback in some form, but did not specify how.“We’ll do something, but not just yet,” Trump told journalist Rob Crilly of the Washington Examiner.

45 GOP senators including McConnell vote to toss Trump impeachment trial as unconstitutional-By Ebony Bowden-January 26, 2021 | 4:53pm | Updated

WASHINGTON — Forty-five Republican Senators on Tuesday voted that former President Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial is unconstitutional, suggesting that he will almost certainly be acquitted for a second time.GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky forced a Senate vote on a motion to dismiss the trial, arguing the impeachment proceedings would be unconstitutional since Trump is now a private citizen.The vast majority of Republicans in the upper chamber, 45 of them, agreed, including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who has criticized Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 siege on the US Capitol that he is accused of inciting.The Senate requires a two-thirds majority to convict, meaning 17 Republicans would need to vote with Democrats — a seemingly unlikely outcome as the Tuesday day vote indicates.Just five Republican Senators broke with their party on Tuesday afternoon and voted with Democrats to allow President Trump’s impeachment trial to proceed, but  the Paul measure was still blocked on a 55-45 vote.GOP Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of Maine, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is serving his last term, crossed the aisle.Romney was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump on the abuse of power charge during his previous impeachment trial.Ten GOP lawmakers also sided with Democrats to impeach Trump in the House in a 232-197 vote on Jan. 13.Despite the motion being blocked, Republicans are considering Tuesday’s defeat a victory.If less than 34 lawmakers sided with Paul, it would have suggested that Trump may have been convicted, but he easily reached that threshold.Paul told reporters that the vote meant the impeachment trial would be “dead on arrival.”In a fiery speech on the Senate floor Tuesday, Paul said Democrats’ calls for unity were hollow and that the impeachment of a former president and private citizen were “the antithesis of unity.”“Private citizens don’t get impeached; impeachment is for removal from office. And the accused here has already left office,” Paul said.“Hyper-partisan Democrats are about to drag our great country down into the gutter of rancor and vitriol the likes of which has never been seen in our nation’s history,” he went on.All 100 Senators were sworn-in on Tuesday afternoon as jurors in Trump’s second impeachment trial which will be overseen by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and not Supreme Court Justice John Roberts since Trump is no longer president.

Trump asked Justice Department to go to Supreme Court to overturn election: WSJ-January 25, 2021

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former President Donald Trump considered replacing the acting attorney general with an official willing to pursue unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, and he pushed the Justice Department to ask the Supreme Court to invalidate President Joe Biden’s victory, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.Citing people familiar with the matter, the Journal said the efforts in the last weeks of Trump’s presidency failed because of resistance from his Justice appointees who refused to file what they viewed as a legally baseless lawsuit in the Supreme Court.Other senior department officials later threatened to resign if Trump fired then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, several people familiar with the discussions told the Journal.The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Reuters on Saturday.Senior officials including Rosen, former Attorney General William Barr and former acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall refused to file the Supreme Court case, concluding there was no basis to challenge the election outcome and the federal government had no legal interest in whether Trump or Biden won the presidency, some of these people told the Journal.Then-White House counsel Pat Cipollone and his deputy, Patrick Philbin, also opposed Trump’s idea, which was promoted by his outside attorneys, these people said.After his Supreme Court plan got nowhere, Trump explored replacing Rosen with Jeffrey Clark, a Trump ally who had expressed a willingness to use the department’s power to help Trump continue his unsuccessful legal battles contesting the election results, the people told the Journal.Trump backed off that plan after the threats from senior Justice Department leadership to resign if Rosen were removed, people familiar with the discussions said.The plan to oust Rosen was first reported by the New York Times.A Trump adviser, asked to respond to the U.S. media reports, said the former president “has consistently argued that our justice system should be investigating the broader, rampant election fraud that has plagued our system for years. Any assertion to the contrary is false and being driven by those who wish to keep the system broken.”Democrats reacted with fury on Saturday to the New York Times’ report, with Senator Richard Durbin, incoming chairman of the Judiciary Committee, saying he would investigate efforts to use the Justice Department to further Trump’s efforts to overthrow the election results. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer calling on the department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, to investigate “this attempted sedition.”Trump’s relentless and baseless claims of election fraud – and his refusal to acknowledge Biden’s victory – culminated on Jan. 6 when Trump urged a rally of his supporters to march to the Capitol to protest the certification of the results. The resulting rampage led to five deaths, including a Capitol police officer.The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives impeached Trump for a second time a week later for inciting the insurrection at the Capitol, and a Senate trial on the charge will begin the week of Feb. 8. Biden took office on Wednesday.(Reporting by Timothy Gardner and John Whitesides; Editing by Colleen Jenkins and Daniel Wallis)

“YOU SHOULD BE IMPEACHED! You Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff!” – Rudy Giuliani DESTROYS Democrats’ Illegitimate Impeachment of Donald Trump-By Joe Hoft-Published January 26, 2021 at 9:11am

The corrupt and seditious Democrats are again projecting.  This time they are claiming President Trump committed sedition when he claimed the stolen 2020 election was stolen.The Democrats are getting much worse.  They have always projected their faults and crimes on fellow Americans but now they really believe what they are saying.  For example, the Democrats claim President Trump and his supporters are racists yet they are the only party in the world today that supported slavery, the Klu Klux Klan and segregation.  They still support segregation today in demanding white males, females and children give up their ‘privilege’.Democrats and foreign agents interfered in the 2020 election.  We found proof.  The Democrats pushed absentee ballots and violated laws.  But the law requires that these changes be made in the legislatures not by far left politicians.China and other foreign entities interfered in our election and Democrats have yet to acknowledge this:The Democrats and their allies are actively censoring discussion of the election being interfered with and the numerous anomalies and what are likely fraudulent acts that occurred.  Instead of looking at their own seditious acts, they blame President Trump for being seditious.Rudy Giuliani released his most recent ‘Common Sense’ discussion and he discussed the upcoming impeachment going to the Senate.  The Democrats base their reasoning, not on evidence, but on their feelings.  They claim Trump supporters, after hearing the President’s speech on January 6th, stormed the Capitol.  But they provide no support for such allegations.The President was still speaking when the Capitol was breached.  We don’t know if all of the people who went into the Capitol even committed a crime by doing so.  Many were let in the Capitol.  We do know Antifa was there inside the Capitol and Antifa members were breaking glass in the Capitol and they were all around Ashli Babbitt when she was shot dead by a Capitol policeman:Rudy says it was very cold that day and they all wanted to go back to their rooms it was so cold.  The walk to the Capitol from where President Trump spoke was about a 40 minute walk.The Democrats have not provided one individual who listened to the President’s speech and then went inside the Capitol and threatened Congress and damaged property.The Democrats call President Trump seditious for giving a speech about a stolen election. But Rudy shared the obvious (at the 17:30 mark below):How do you define the good, better or best American?  The belief in the values of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence to hold us together.  Where’s the belief in this Constitution that says you shall impeach someone to remove them from office and then you have an impeachment to remove then someone who’s been removed?  [Someone]  who you attempted to impeach before and who was acquitted.  And now it turns out it was a phony charge before.YOU SHOULD BE IMPEACHED!  You Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff!  And you should be tried after that for conspiracy to defraud the United States!  And then we should see how much did Obama know – how much did Biden know?  Oh and by the way, you’re impeaching a man who’s removed from office for not committing a crime and you just inaugurated a President where there is a hard drive showing 30 years of criminal activity and you censored that from the American people.WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OUR COUNTRY?  YOU’RE RIPPING IT APART.  Prosecuting an impeachment to remove a man from office who’s been removed based on no allegation of a crime and not a single witness.Democrats believe free speech based on facts is not as good as accusations based on lies.

Add Virginia to the List of States Where a Forensic Audit of the 2020 Election Results is Absolutely Necessary-By Joe Hoft-Published January 26, 2021 at 1:30pm

President Trump was winning the race in Virginia all night on election day.  Every report showed the President way up in the Presidential race.  Then suddenly while the President was still ahead, Big Media declared Joe Biden the winner.  A judges new ruling demands that this state have a forensic audit of results performed now.We’ve reported on Virginia’s questionable results in the 2020 election already.  There were 378 separate entries or feeds related to the Presidential race in Virginia in the file obtained and shared around the web that originated from the New York Times on election night.  Of these entries the first 125 entries reported in the NYT data feed related to Virginia were basically reasonable.  The results varied in percentage of votes between Presidential candidates and appeared to be random with most votes going to President Trump.  Up through this time (11:03 Eastern), President Trump was leading 52% to Biden’s 46%.  At this time 3.3 million of the eventual 4.4 million votes had already been cast or about 75% of the vote was in.   This is when things went off the rails.Overall three entries of over 300,000 votes were posted in the data base to Biden’s vote total.  Two entries of over 300,000 votes were taken away.  The same happened to President Trump’s totals but in much smaller amounts.  Overall 851,000 votes were added to Biden’s totals and only 318,000 were awarded to President Trump between 11:14pm (Eastern) on November 3rd and 5:00am November 4th.  This resulted in over half a million more votes net and 73% of the votes going to Biden during this time frame.After these entries noted above were recorded, nearly every entry made into the system for the Presidential election had the same proportion of votes of Biden to Trump.This is not reasonable – it’s impossible.  There is nothing random about this.  It is highly, highly unlikely that the results of all these entries would be at the same proportion. This too indicates fraud.We reported all of this on November 15th:Now a judge has ruled that Virginia should not have allowed any ballots counted in their results that were received up to three days after the election:There’s some fresh news from the “Where Were You in November” department this week. In Virginia, Republicans and Democrats have been continuing a feud in the courts over “emergency rules” passed by the Democrats to allow greater numbers of mail-in ballots to be counted during the last election. One of those changes allowed ballots arriving after election day and without a postage mark indicating when they were mailed to be counted. Now a circuit court judge has ruled that the rule in question violates state statutes and the practice will be banned in the future. The lawsuit leading to this decision was brought by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF). This update comes from the Daily Caller.Virginia election officials claim no absentee ballots received after election day were added to the state’s totals but really, who knows? It’s time to request that a forensic audit performed by Jovan Pulitzer be performed in Virginia of all the ballots from the 2020 election.  Something tells us that the results of this audit will show a different outcome than the current results reported by the state.

Reports: Biden to roll back President Trump’s crackdown of China-OAN Newsroom-UPDATED 4:30 PM PT – Monday, January 25, 2021

The Biden administration is reportedly planning to roll back President Trump’s crackdown on malicious Chinese practices.During a press briefing on Monday, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said Joe Biden would start a review of President Trump’s policies towards China. This includes the recent delisting of Chinese telecom firms from the New York Stock Exchange for stealing U.S. technology.Tune in for a briefing with @PressSec Jen Psaki. https://t.co/dbxU3SVctI — The White House (@WhiteHouse) January 25, 2021-Critics speculated Biden would take a softer stance on China due to his corrupt business dealings with Beijing in the past.Psaki said Biden would take a more comprehensive approach to Chinese relations.“We’re starting from an approach of patience as it relates to our relationship with China,” Psaki said. “So that means we’re going to have consultations with our allies, we’re going to have consultations with Democrats and Republicans, and we’re going to allow the interagency process to work its way through, to review and assess how we should move forward with our relationship.”White House's Psaki says there is an ongoing review of US relations with China and that a "comprehensive strategy and a more comprehensive approach" are needed. — Steve Holland (@steveholland1) January 25, 2021-Psaki acknowledged the theft of U.S. technology by China, but she did not provide details on how Biden would counter such practices.

Sen. Cotton: China blackmailing Biden with sanctions-OAN Newsroom-UPDATED 8:15 AM PT – Sunday, January 24, 2021

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) called out the Chinese Communist Party over their alleged attempt to blackmail the Biden administration. On the Senate floor Friday, Cotton urged Joe Biden to take action against our most persistent adversary.This came after China issued a slew of sanctions against nearly 30 Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Cotton noted the sanctions were put in place just moments after Biden took office.Moments after President Biden took office, China sanctioned 28 members of the outgoing administration. These sanctions were a warning, an attempt to blackmail Biden administration officials with personal financial ruin if they dare to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party. pic.twitter.com/QaYtO0d98G— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) January 22, 2021“They’re not bluster. They are another step in China’s long-term campaign to coerce Americans at every level of government and business,” Cotton stated. “They are a direct attack on the independence of U.S. policy toward China and an attempt to blackmail the Biden administration with personal financial ruin in the future if they dare to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party.”Cotton called on Biden to denounce the “acts of intimidation” and treat them as a day-one assault. He urged the administration to issue sanctions against Chinese officials who are responsible for the blackmail efforts.However, many Republicans have speculated Biden will likely be soft on China, and Beijing even reportedly wanted him to win the 2020 election.

Report: 81 election fraud cases brought to courts, 30 active cases-OAN Newsroom-UPDATED 1:10 PM PT – Tuesday, January 26, 2021

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions has put together a comprehensive list of all of the court cases on election fraud brought forward in recent months.The group found there have been a total of 81 cases filed in Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Jersey, Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, New Mexico, North Carolina, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, New York, Ohio and Washington D.C.Many of those that are still active were filed in the battleground states, where county totals were decided by just a handful of votes.The case brought by the President’s campaign against the Secretary of Pennsylvania entered it’s third round as the petitioner pushed for the state Supreme Court to consolidate and reconsider former rulings regarding the counting of thousands of ballots that were improperly cast, but counted anyway.2 ⚖️NEW: The Trump campaign is appealing its loss in PENNSYLVANIA fed dist ct yesterday to the 3rd Circuit pic.twitter.com/09itnRd7Nz — John Kruzel (@johnkruzel) November 22, 2020-The Nevada Republican Central Committee v. Clark County was filed in October and called for election officials to make voter records public as vote by mail processes led to a number of issues in the days following the election. In November, a judge ruled the county must reveal the number of ballots that were flagged due to signature issues, including signatures that were missing or unmatched.While a majority of the lawsuits were brought forth by the President and his team, pockets of voters from across the country became their own advocates, filing lawsuits against election officials and state leaders all on their own.One such group of voters in Georgia, many of whom doubled as poll tabulators and electors, filed suit detailing numerous instances of voting irregularities. A hearing was held in early January where the petitioners had the chance to bring their concerns forward.“It is clear from the video that the people’s business in this very important process that we all hold so dear in this democracy, called elections, a one man one vote, was conducted in secrecy, not in the open,” Bob Cheeley, attorney for the petitioner stated.Meanwhile in Arizona, two groups, “Mi Familia Vota” and “Arizona Coalition for Change” sued Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.The two groups ran voter registration drives and reported signing up more than 1,500 voters a week until last minute coronavirus restrictions brought their operations to a near standstill. They alleged Hobb’s deadline for registration violated their First Amendment right to free speech, and further violated the due process clause outlined in the 14th Amendment.Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will not appeal recent court order extending voter registration deadline to Oct. 23. She urges Arizonans to update or register as soon as possible, as a further court ruling remains possible. See statement below. pic.twitter.com/r5kiBEOKM6 — Secretary Katie Hobbs (@SecretaryHobbs) October 6, 2020-The report went on to say millions of Americans are disappointed with the U.S. judiciary system, with many concerned the issues of 2020 may come back to haunt voters just in time for the midterms.

Sen. Paul speaks out on alleged voting irregularities in 2020 election-OAN Newsroom-UPDATED 1:20 PM PT – Monday, January 25, 2021

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has continued to firmly assert that voter fraud occurred in the 2020 election. In an interview on Sunday, Paul said there were instances of people voting twice, dead people voting and illegal immigrants voting during the election.Paul also noted in several states, voting laws were unconstitutionally changed by secretary of states.“There were several states in which the law was changed by the secretary of state and not the state legislature. To me those are clearly unconstitutional, and I think there’s still a chance that those actually do finally work their way up to the Supreme Court,” Paul explained.Although Paul was outlining concerns millions of Americans have expressed, ABC talk show host George Stephanopoulous attempted to dismiss the claims as dishonest.“People coming from the liberal side like you, you immediately say everything is a lie instead of saying there are two sides to everything. Historically what would happen is if I said that I thought there was fraud, you would interview someone else that would say there wasn’t,” Paul stated. “But now you insert yourself in the middle and say the absolute fact is everything I’m saying is a lie.”I voted to certify the electors and seat the new President. It’s not about that anymore. They won’t even admit there is election fraud and want to pretend nothing happened. — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 24, 2021-Paul’s rebuttal did not stop the former Clinton White House adviser’s attacks, prompting the Republican once again to call out the mainstream media.Despite liberal outlets animus towards claims of election fraud, Paul said he will be working to address alleged irregularities over the next two years.“In Wisconsin, tens of thousands of absentee votes had only the name on them and no address. Historically, those were thrown out, this time they weren’t. They made special accommodations because they said, ‘oh it’s pandemic and people forgot what their address was,’ so they changed the law after the fact,” Paul said. “That is wrong, that’s unconstitutional, and I plan on spending the next two years going around state to state and fixing these problems, and I wont be cast out by liberals in the media who say ‘there’s no evidence here and you’re a liar if you talk about election fraud,’ no, let’s have an open debate, it’s a free country.”Paul stressed that alleged irregularities need to be investigated in order to increase confidence in our elections.

Bloomberg: Biden sets new record taking dark money donations-OAN Newsroom-UPDATED 9:50 AM PT – Tuesday, January 26, 2021

Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign set a new record in dark money donations despite Democrat calls to end this questionable practice.According to Bloomberg News, Biden received $145 million from dark money donors last year, which includes anonymous donations through third-party mediators. By contrast, President Trump received only $28 million in such donations.Biden’s dark money haul beat out the previous record set by Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) in 2012, who raked-in about $113 million in those donations.Democrats have railed against the use of dark money in politics because dark money groups do not have to reveal information on their donors. They have argued this makes it nearly impossible for voters to know who is funding political messaging and what the motivation behind those messages may be.In fact, Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, has cited dark money donations as a serious threat to U.S. democracy and justice.Eleven years ago today, #CitizensUnited opened the floodgates for unlimited dark money in our politics. Since then, corporations have doubled down on trying to drown out the voices of everyday people. To put families first, we need campaign finance reform.— Katie Porter (@katieporteroc) January 22, 2021-At the same time, Biden campaigned on banning certain non-profits from putting money into swaying elections and requiring organizations spending over $10,000 on elections to disclose its donors to the government.A Biden-affiliated PAC, Priorities USA, attempted to defend the influx of dark money by saying they had to use all options against President Trump.Despite dark money donations, President Trump outperformed Biden in terms of overall fundraising. He raises almost $2 billion compared to Biden’s $1.7 billion.

Biden signs record number of executive actions in first week-By Emily Jacobs-January 26, 2021 | 4:24pm | Updated

President Biden has signed a record 37 executive actions in his first week in office, and the exact number of executive orders is not known because the Federal Register has not been updated since Jan. 21.With just six days in office under his belt, the 46th commander-in-chief has issued more edicts in his first week than any of his predecessors.Executive orders are legally binding, and as a result, are published in the Federal Register. Executive actions, by contrast, are more often symbolic efforts to enact change.On Tuesday, Biden signed four items, all focused on “racial equity.”The first order directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development to address the issue of housing discrimination.The second action, which was also an order, instructed the Justice Department to not renew federal contracts with privately-run prisons.The third item, ordered the federal government to engage with tribal governments.The fourth action, which does not appear to have been an order, condemned anti-Asian bias, which saw a spike in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.The president has signed 10 orders related to invoking the Defense Production Act and launching his COVID-19 response, and 15 orders that addressed other policy differences between Biden and his predecessor.Of those 15 orders, Biden halted construction of the southern border wall and the travel ban from countries with heightened terror concerns, two signature campaign proposals from former President Donald Trump.Other actions include rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, which Trump withdrew the US from in 2017, as well as the World Health Organization, which Trump withdrew from due to the agency’s botched handling of the coronavirus pandemic.Biden has also signed orders extending moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures, and deferrals on student loan payments, as well as halting construction on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, counting non-citizens in the US census and strengthening workplace discrimination protections based on sex and gender.In another action, he called on Congress to grant permanent status to Dreamers as part of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which Trump challenged in court.Regarding his Covid-19 strategy, Biden has issued orders creating a pandemic testing board focused solely on increasing test availability nationwide, with a focus on schools, as well as requiring the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services to provide federal guidance on reopening, “with the goal of getting a majority of K-8 schools safely open in 100 days.”In the first hours of his presidency in January 2017, Trump signed a single executive order focused on “minimizing the economic burden” of the Affordable Care Act as his administration began work to repeal it.Additionally, then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus issued a memo on the president’s first night in office directing an immediate “regulatory freeze,” preventing federal agencies from implementing or issuing any new regulations.A Biden administration spokesperson did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on the record number of executive orders.

AND CAN BE CONTROLLED TO STAY IN OUR ROOMS. WITHOUT RIOTING OR PROTESTING. FOR THE CHILDRENS SAKE. AND FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTH.AS THE PEACE LOVING-SEWER RAT-HITLER LOVER-BABY KILLERS-DEMOLIBNUTCASES BELIEVE AND WANT FOR REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES. JUST LIKE THE SEWER RAT-DEMOLIBNUTS IN AMERICA ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF DONALD JOHN TRUMPY AND MIKE LINJDEELL OF MYPILLOW.COM. I CAN NOT WAIT TILL TRUMP BECOMES PRESIDENT VERY SHORTLY AGAIN. AND UNTIL ITS REVEALED THAT THE DEMOLIBNUTS SET UP THE FAKE RIOT AT THE CAPITAL. TO NAIL TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS. THEN THE DEMOLIBNUTJOBS FIXED THE DOMINION VOTER MACHINES  ON ELECTION NIGHT. SO AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF VOTES WERE DONE. THE MACHINE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE EVERY VOTE FOR BIDEN. AND AGAINST TRUMP. THE DEMOLIBNUTS WHEN FINALLY REVEALED FOR THIS CHEATING FRAUD AGAINST TRUMP AND AMERICAN CITIZEN VOTERS. WILL PAY WITH LAWSUITS AND JAIL SENTENCES FOR SURE. RIGHT DNC. AND THERES STILL NO JUSTICE TO THE DNC AND DEMOLIBNUTJOBS FOR FAKELY IMPEACHING TRUMP TWICE FOR FAKE RIOTS. AND FAKE RUSSIA TIES. THE FAKE RUSSIA DUNG BY THE SEWER RAT-POWER HUNGRY HITLER PROPAGANDISTS DEMOLIBNUTS WENT ON AS SOON AS TRUMP WAS INAUGURATED FOR AN HOUR. THESE SEWER RAT-BABY MURDER-HITLER PROPAGANDISTS DEMOLIBNUTCASES AS WELL AS THE SAME NAMED MEDIA PUPPERTS PAID BY THE NUTCASES TO SPEW THE HITLER PROPAGANDA AGAINST TRUMP. AND IMPEACH HIM TWICE. WHEN CAUGHT AND FINALLY REVEALED. THESE CRY BABY SNOW FLAKE LIBERALS THAROPY NEEDERS. WILL NEED ALL THESE AND MORE. WHILE THESE RADICAL SEWER RATS ROT IN JAIL CELLS UNTIL THEY DIE. THEN THESE SEWER RATS WILL THEN AFTER THE SECOND THEY DIE. WILL BE SENT TO FIRST (SHEOL) HELL IN BURNING TORMENTS. THEN BROUGHT BEFORE JESUS FOR THE FINAL ETERNAL BURNING IN THE LAKE OF FIRE (GEHENNA) FOREVER-NEVER ENDING. SO WE CHRISTANS-JEWS-CONSERVATIVES AND TRUMP-LINDELL. FEAR NOT-THE DEMOLIBNUTCASES WILL BE JUDGED FOR ALL THEIR CORRUPTION AND SEWER RAT HITLER LIES. AND PAYOFFS AND PAYOUTS TO DESTROY TRUMP AND LINDELL. THESE TWO ARE BEING USED BY GOD. AND THESE DEMOLIBNUTS WHO ALL SET UP AND TRYED TO DESTROY THESE TWO. ARE DIRECTLY COMING AGAINST GOD. AND THEY WILL PAY BIGTIME. GOD WILL REVEAL THEIR SINS TO THE WORLD. BEFORE DESTROYING THEM LIKE GOD DID AGAINST EGYPT IN THE SEA. OR JUST LIKE GOD REKNEWED THE EARTH BY PURIFYING IT INTO A FRESH START WITH A FLOOD OF 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS OF RAIN. NOW GOD MIGHT JUST TEACH THE DEMOLIUBNUTS A LESSON. SINCE GOD SAID HE WOULD NEVER REKNEW THE WHOLE EARTH THREW WATER AGAIN. BUT HE DID SAY FIRE (NUCLEAR WEAPONS OR ELEMENTS) WOULD BE THE FINAL JUDGEMENT ON THE DEMOLIBNUTJOB AGE OF GRACE-ISRAEL-JESUS-GOD-CHRISTIAN HATERS. EITHER WAY WE WIN. AND WHEN JESUS IS RULING ON EARTH FOREVER FROM JERUSALEM. THERE WILL NEVER EVER BE A DEMOLIBNUT IN POWER OR IN A POWERFUL POSITION EVER AGAIN. SO THESE LOSER DEMOLIB SEWER RATS BETTER ENJOY THEIR POWER HUNGRYNESS NOW. BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE ONLY JEWS AND CHRISTIANS WILL BE LEADING EVERY POWER POSITION ON EARTH. THE DEMOLIBS WILL BE LOOKING ON WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. IF THEIR PART OF ONLY THE HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION (4 BILLION) TO SURVIVE THE END OF THE AGE NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND SPACE NUCLEAR WARS. GOOD LUCK DEMOLIBS IF USE THINK USE CAN BUY PEOPLE TO DESTROY ANYBODY IN THE FUTURE. ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN. AND USE WILL PAY FOR ALL YOUR SINS OF PRIDE-LUST FOR POWER AND MONEY. AND GREED.JESUS WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT.

BETWEEN JOE AND HUNTER BIDEN THEY MADE MILLIONS FROM THE CHINESE FROM THE BIDEN NAME. AND FROM CHINESE INVESTMENTS.


Democrats file second impeachment against Trump in Senate ahead of trial-Prosecutors deliver sole charge of ‘incitement of insurrection’ amid signs that Republicans are easing off criticism of former president for role in prompting storming of Capitol-By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK-JAN 26,21-Today, 2:40 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats marched the impeachment case against Donald Trump to the US Senate Monday night for the start of his historic trial, but Republican senators were easing off their criticism of the former president and shunning calls to convict him over the deadly siege at the US Capitol.It’s an early sign of Trump’s enduring sway over the party.The House prosecutors delivered the sole impeachment charge of “incitement of insurrection,” making the ceremonial walk across the Capitol to the Senate. But Republican denunciations of Trump have cooled since the Jan. 6 riot. Instead Republicans are presenting a tangle of legal arguments against the legitimacy of the trial and questions whether Trump’s repeated demands to overturn Joe Biden’s election really amounted to incitement.What seemed for some Democrats like an open-shut case that played out for the world on live television, as Trump encouraged a rally mob to “fight like hell” for his presidency, is running into a Republican Party that feels very differently. Not only are there legal concerns, but senators are wary of crossing the former president and his legions of followers who are their voters. Security remains tight at the Capitol.Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said if Congress starts holding impeachment trials of former officials, what’s next: “Could we go back and try President Obama?”Besides, he suggested, Trump has already been held to account. “One way in our system you get punished is losing an election.”Arguments in the Senate trial will begin the week of Feb. 8, and the case against Trump, the first former president to face impeachment trial, will test a political party still sorting itself out for the post-Trump era. Republican senators are balancing the demands of deep-pocketed donors who are distancing themselves from Trump and voters who demand loyalty to him. One Republican, Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, announced Monday he would not seek reelection in 2022 citing the polarized political atmosphere.President Donald Trump speaks during a rally protesting the electoral college certification of Joe Biden as president, shortly before the assault on the US Capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)-For Democrats the tone, tenor and length of the upcoming trial, so early in Biden’s presidency, poses its own challenge, forcing them to strike a balance between their vow to hold Trump accountable and their eagerness to deliver on the new administration’s priorities following their sweep of control of the House, Senate and White House.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Republicans appear more eager to argue over trial process than the substance of the impeachment case against Trump, perhaps to avoid casting judgment on the former president’s “role in fomenting the despicable attack” on the Capitol.He said there’s only one question “senators of both parties will have to answer before God and their own conscience: Is former President Trump guilty of inciting an insurrection against the United States?”Failing to conduct the trial would amount to a “get-out-jail-free card” for other officials accused of wrongdoing on their way out the door, Schumer said.On Monday, it was learned that Chief Justice John Roberts is not expected to preside at the trial, as he did during Trump’s first impeachment, potentially affecting the gravitas of the proceedings. The shift is said to be in keeping with protocol because Trump is no longer in office.Instead, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D- Vt., who serves in the largely ceremonial role of Senate president pro-tempore, is set to preside.Leaders in both parties agreed to a short delay in the proceedings that serves their political and practical interests, even as National Guard troops remain at the Capitol amid security threats on lawmakers ahead of the trial.The start date gives Trump’s new legal team time to prepare its case, while also providing more than a month’s distance from the passions of the bloody riot. For the Democratic-led Senate, the intervening weeks provide prime time to confirm some of Biden’s key Cabinet nominees.Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., questioned how his colleagues who were in the Capitol that day could see the insurrection as anything other than a “stunning violation” of the nation’s history of peaceful transfers of power.“It is a critical moment in American history,” Coons said Sunday in an interview.An early vote to dismiss the trial probably would not succeed, given that Democrats now control the Senate. Still, the mounting Republican opposition to the proceedings indicates that many GOP senators would eventually vote to acquit Trump. Democrats would need the support of 17 Republicans — a high bar — to convict him.Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., said he doesn’t believe the Senate has the constitutional authority to convict Trump after he has left office.“I think a lot of Americans are going to think it’s strange that the Senate is spending its time trying to convict and remove from office a man who left office a week ago,” Cotton said.Democrats reject that argument, pointing to an 1876 impeachment of a secretary of war who had already resigned and to opinions by many legal scholars. Democrats also say that a reckoning of the first invasion of the Capitol since the War of 1812, perpetrated by rioters egged on by a president as Electoral College votes were being tallied, is necessary to ensure such a siege never happens again.A few GOP senators have agreed with Democrats, though not close to the number that will be needed to convict Trump.Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said he believes “what is being alleged and what we saw, which is incitement to insurrection, is an impeachable offense.” Romney said, “If not, what is?”But Romney, the lone Republican to vote to convict Trump when the Senate acquitted the then-president in last year’s trial, appears to be an outlier.

Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill is in trouble, and Democrats might not be able to pass the next round of stimulus until March-Jake Lahut-JAN 25,21

With tight margins between the two parties in Congress, President Joe Biden is already confronting both political and logistical hurdles to his $1.9 trillion stimulus plan.The new round of coronavirus relief may not get a vote until mid-March, when the $300 weekly unemployment assistance program expires, according to Punchbowl News.Last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will be ready to vote on the bill by the first week of February. However, things get complicated once the focus turns to the Senate side. With the filibuster rule currently in place, the bill could get derailed unless the Democrats can get 10 Republicans to join them in closing debate and moving on with a vote on the bill, a process known as cloture.Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnnell holds substantial leverage over the process, given the 50-50 split and power sharing agreement between the two parties.And two members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate might prevent the stimulus package from passing  as its currently written.en. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Sen. Angus King of Maine have objected to certain aspects of the proposal, such as direct payments going to families making up to $300,000 per year.As Insider's Joseph Zeballos-Roig reported last week, Manchin in particular will wield substantial influence over any major legislation pushed by Biden and the Democrats.Manchin is a moderate who holds several positions at odds with the Democratic consensus, particularly when it comes to deficit spending and climate change. He supports the coal industry and has expressed skepticism over an overly broad use of direct payments.There is a way for the Democrats to try and pass the bill without the 60 vote filibuster-proof majority, but Manchin once again stands in the way.Instead of going down the conventional path, Democrats could use the budget reconciliation process, which would allow them to pass Biden's bill with just 51 votes. Theoretically, that could happen with no Republican support, with Vice President Kamala Harris coming in to break the tie.Sen. Bernie Sanders, the new chairman of the budget committee, has advocated for using budget reconciliation on a variety of issues going back to his 2020 presidential campaign. Sanders once again called for it over the weekend, saying Democrats cannot "wait weeks and weeks" for GOP support.White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki did not rule out budget reconciliation in one of her press briefings last week.Yet budget reconciliation is not necessarily a faster way to pass the bill than getting 60 votes to clear the filibuster. A so-called vote-a-rama comes with budget reconciliation, so instead of worrying about getting enough Republicans on board to avoid a filibuster, any Senator could propose an amendment to be tacked onto the bill. The last time this happened was in 2017, when more than 700 amendments were debated on the Trump tax cuts.This time around, there could be more than 1,000, according to Punchbowl.Once all of that is out of the way, multiple House and Senate committees would need to essentially rewrite the bill. The scope of the Biden stimulus plan would require more committees than usual to get involved in that process, which is normally dominated by the House Ways and Means Committee along with the Senate Finance Committee.It's still early for the Biden administration, but a lot will need to go their way simultaneously for the stimulus package to land on the president's desk by February.The coronavirus pandemic-The 5th largest school district in the US announced a plan to phase back into in-person learning after a rise in student suicides. As he faced death threats, Fauci said he once opened an envelope that contained a 'puff of powder' he feared was anthrax or ricin.Israel is freezing flights in and out of the country to slow the spread of COVID-19 strains.Sanders says Democrats can't 'wait weeks and weeks' to gain Republican support to pass COVID-19 relief and should use reconciliation to avoid the filibuster.Deborah Birx says there were 'definitely' COVID-19 deniers in the Trump White House.If you have a story about the coronavirus pandemic you'd like to share, email us at covidtips@businessinsider.com.Get the latest coronavirus business & economic impact analysis from Business Insider Intelligence on how COVID-19 is affecting industries.

Congresswoman and QAnon supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene announces articles of impeachment against Biden-Julie Gerstein-Jan 21, 2021, 11:30 PM

One day after President Joe Biden was inaugurated, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she was introducing articles of impeachment against him.The Georgia lawmaker made waves even before she joined Congress given her support for the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory; her claim that the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, was a hoax; and her long history of racist and anti-Semitic beliefs.In a statement released Thursday, Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, said: "President Joe Biden is unfit to hold the office of the Presidency. His pattern of abuse of power as President Obama's Vice President is lengthy and disturbing."Greene then went on to claim that Biden had committed a quid pro quo with Ukrainian officials while he was vice president to help his son "siphon cash from America's greatest enemies Russian and China."Republicans have repeatedly accused Biden of inappropriately leveraging his role as vice president to boost his son Hunter's business interests. A GOP-led Senate committee, however, conducted a months-long investigation into the matter and found no evidence to support the claim.Multiple witnesses who testified in President Donald Trump's first impeachment also said the allegations had no merit. Hunter Biden is under criminal investigation over his financial affairs, but there is no evidence that the president is a subject of interest to federal prosecutors.Greene said Biden should be impeached for "enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, by allowing his son to influence the domestic policy of a foreign nation and accept various benefits — including financial compensation — from foreign nationals in exchange for certain favors."Greene's announcement relied largely on unsubstantiated claims floated in a New York Post story last year that Hunter Biden used his father's government position to do business deals in Russia. The Post's story was coordinated by Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani and was widely met with skepticism. The FBI is investigating whether the laptop at the center of the story was part of a foreign influence operation.Along with filing the articles of impeachment, Greene asked supporters to text and sign a petition and donate funds to her impeachment filing, though language on the donations page specifies that the donations are being made to "Greene for Congress" and "will be used in connection with federal elections."Both chambers of Congress are controlled by Democrats, making it virtually impossible that Greene's impeachment push will move forward. It's also unlikely that she'll get much support from within her own party; following the insurrection at the Capitol, the prevailing sentiment among the GOP establishment was that it was time to move forward and acknowledge Biden's victory.Greene's announcement this week is the latest in a series of controversies she's been embroiled in since joining the House. When she was sworn in January 4, Greene refused to put on a mask and left the House floor, prompting a shouting match between.Democratic and Republican staffers.On Sunday, Greene's Twitter account was suspended for 12 hours after she suggested in a now-deleted tweet that Trump supporters "mobilize and make your voices heard in opposition to these attacks on our liberties" ahead of Biden's inauguration.Greene is one of two members of Congress — along with Rep. Laura Boebert of Colorado — who have expressed support for QAnon, the baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that alleged Trump as president was secretly fighting a "deep state" Satanic cabal of child-eating pedophiles.The FBI warned in August 2019 that conspiracy theories like QAnon posed a domestic-terrorism threat. This year, it surfaced that many of the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol were QAnon believers.Emails to Greene's office were not immediately returned.
   
Congress to implement new safety protocols after Capitol siege, including metal detectors and mask requirements-Oma Seddiq-Jan 12, 2021, 6:14 PM

Congress implemented new safety measures on Tuesday in response to the Capitol breach last week, when a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building and forced a lockdown.The acting House Sergeant-at-Arms, Timothy Blodgett, sent a notice informing "all persons," including lawmakers, staffers and reporters, that they will be subject to security screenings starting at 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Metal detectors have been set up outside the House chamber. The Senate has not yet issued any additional protocols."Failure to complete screening or the carrying of prohibited items could result in denial of access to the Chamber," the memo read.The latest procedures come after the Capitol erupted into chaos last Wednesday, leaving Washington, DC, along with the rest of the nation concerned over the security failures. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice on Tuesday stated that they have opened an unprecedented investigation into the Capitol siege, opening more than 160 subject files and charging 70 cases so far. Threats of additional violence also loom ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20. Since the turmoil, at least three members of Congress have also tested positive for coronavirus. They have pointed blame to several members, particularly Republicans, who had been maskless while sheltering-in-place last week.Blodgett, who recently became the House's chief law-enforcement officer after Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving resigned last week, emphasized on Tuesday that Congress members are "required to wear masks when entering and while in the Chamber." "Members not wearing a mask will not be admitted to the Floor and Members who fail to wear a mask will be removed from the Floor," the notice stated.The House is also swiftly moving to impose a fine system that would penalize members who refuse to wear a mask, according to a senior Democratic aide, reported by multiple news outlets. It includes a $500 fine for a first-time offense and $2,500 for a second offense, which would be deducted from the lawmaker's pay. The language will be considered on Tuesday evening during a vote on Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin's resolution that calls on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Insider has previously reported that Pence has opposed the idea, though the House is expected to pass the measure.In the notice, Blodgett also reminded Congress members that any firearms they carry are "restricted to a Member's Office," reiterating a 1967 rule that lawmakers are allowed to keep guns in their offices. Freshman Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado released an ad last week, before the riots, in which she said that she intends to carry her glock around DC and the Capitol.

Voter fraud is real, just not on the scale claimed by Trump-Politics by Mark Pazniokas November 13, 2020 Keith M. Phaneuf :: CTMirror.org

Michael J. Brandi, executive director of the State Elections Enforcement Commission.President Donald J. Trump is correct in saying voter fraud is real. And if he were a losing candidate for, say, the Board of Representatives in Stamford, Conn., in 2015, Trump might have a valid claim he was robbed. But not in the 2020 race for president.All evidence points to voter fraud as local, small-scale and relatively rare — not national or assembly-line efficient. A dozen or so improperly obtained absentee ballots can conceivably tip a close local election, as was alleged to have happened in Stamford five years ago. It never has been pervasive or scalable.Trump’s unsupported claim Thursday that 2.7 million votes were somehow deleted or altered in electronic voting systems provoked a remarkable rebuke from within his own administration about the president’s ignorance, willful or not, about how U.S. elections are conducted.“All of the states with close results in the 2020 presidential race have paper records of each vote, allowing the ability to go back and count each ballot if necessary,” said a cybersecurity panel within the Department of Homeland Security. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”“REPORT: DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE. DATA ANALYSIS FINDS 221,000 PENNSYLVANIA VOTES SWITCHED FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BIDEN. 941,000 TRUMP VOTES DELETED. STATES USING DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS SWITCHED 435,000 VOTES FROM TRUMP TO BIDEN.” @ChanelRion @OANN — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2020-Dominion Voting Systems provides software used by elections officials in several battleground states.“While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too. When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections,” said the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, part of Homeland Security.In Connecticut, Michael J. Brandi, the executive director and general counsel of the State Elections Enforcement Commission, said the president’s unfounded accusations undermine the public confidence in elections.Insurance Matters - 728 x 90 - V1-“I think it does an incredible disservice to all the dedicated elections officials across the country. It impacts people’s faith in elections. That’s the core of our democracy, and it shouldn’t be,” Brandi said.That’s not to say mistakes aren’t made — or that fraud doesn’t happen.There is at least one documented case of someone registering and voting in two different towns in the same election in Connecticut. In another, SEEC could neither prove nor disprove that someone voted twice, faulting local election records that should have left no doubt.Brandi said those cases are extremely rare. Connecticut has a statewide database that allows local officials to ensure a voter is registered only in one community, and the state is one of 30 participating in ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center, which allows cross-state checks.“Absolutely, mistakes are made,” Brandi said. “There’s a lot of human process in this. And it happens, but we have so many checks and balances within the system that those mistakes are caught and corrected as soon as possible.”Connecticut had such an incident this year. It is not clear how, but results from one of the nine polling places in the 90th House District of Cheshire and Wallingford were not uploaded to the state’s election management system. Democrat Jim Jinks was deemed the winner until Monday, when Wallingford officials discovered the error.The corrected results gave Rep. Craig Fishbein, R-Wallingford, a 21-vote win, a margin that prompted an automatic recount. On Friday, a recount witnessed by representatives of both candidates confirmed Fishbein as the winner by 17 votes.“It’s good to know it does work,” said Barbara Thompson, the town clerk of Wallingford. “You can believe in the results.”In Connecticut, votes are cast by paper ballots and counted by optical scanners, which are not linked to the internet, providing both a paper trail and a safeguard against hacking. In the 90th District recount, every paper ballot was fed through the scanner again.Most of the elections enforcement fraud cases involve absentee ballots. In 2015, officials say, a Democratic Party official in Stamford submitted as many as 29 forged absentee ballots applications in a case that both exposed weaknesses and safeguards in the system. He later was accused of fraudulently obtaining 14 ballots.The clerk’s office then erred by giving the official absentee ballots to deliver, rather than follow state law and mail them.Brandi said the scheme was uncovered by the ultimate check and balance: On election day, one of the voters whose name had been forged on an application turned up at the polls to vote. He was allowed to vote, but the absentee ballot cast in his name was impounded and referred to the State Elections Enforcement Commission.The resulting investigation led to a criminal referral to the Chief State’s Attorney’s office and the arrest of John Mallozzi, who then was the Democratic town chair. His case is pending.The commission also has a pending investigation of allegations of absentee ballot fraud in a municipal election in Bridgeport.While Trump complained this year that absentee and mail-in ballots were vulnerable to  fraud, his concern four years ago was about the dead: He complained that the failure by the states to regularly update voter rolls and strike the names of the dead left the system open to fraud. He cited a report issued in 2012 by the Pew Center on the States to back up his claim that the dead vote, and plenty of them remain on the rolls.But the Pew report never suggested evidence of widespread voting using the names of the dead. Rather, it was a call to update voter registration systems so that they more quickly reflect voters who move and, yes, those who die.Playing it Safe - 728 x 90 V2-The dead occasionally are marked as voting. But in every case investigated by elections officials in Connecticut, it has turned out to be a clerical error, not fraud. Typically, a father and son have the same name. The father dies, the son votes — but the father is wrongly checked off as voting, not the son.In 2014, a sharp-eyed official in Watertown found what appeared to be an open-and-shut case of fraud when an absentee ballot  arrived in the mail from a man known to be dead. A complaint was filed, and the ballot set aside for investigators. But when they opened the envelope with the ballot, investigators found evidence of honesty, not fraud.Inside was an unmarked ballot with a sticky note affixed by the man’s widow: “George Died 9-17-2014.”The case was closed.

First Israeli minister makes Sudan visit after normalization-Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen leads delegation for first meetings with Sudanese leaders since Khartoum signed Abraham Accords-By TOI staff and Agencies-JAN 26,21-Today, 6:09 am

Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen visited Sudan on Monday, becoming the first Israeli minister to visit the Arab country following the recent signing of a normalization deal between the two countries.Cohen led a delegation from his ministry and from the National Security Council, holding talks with senior Sudanese officials, including Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the ruling sovereign council, and Defense Minister Yassin Ibrahim.Cohen signed a memorandum of understanding with Ibrahim on security-related issues and invited Sudanese leaders to visit Israel, Israel’s Kan public broadcaster reported.Details of the understandings were not immediately released.After a brief trip, Cohen returned to Israel just in time before a week-long shutdown of the airport as part of efforts to control the spread of coronavirus variants into Israel.Sudan earlier this month signed the “Abraham Accords” with the United States, paving the way for the African country to normalize ties with Israel.Now-former US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin and Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari inked the deal, a largely symbolic document indicating Sudan’s intentions to move forward with normalization. The memorandum did not officially establish diplomatic ties between Khartoum and Jerusalem, a move that is expected to happen in the near future, at an as yet undetermined date.US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin (L) and Sudanese Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdulbari sign the Abraham Accords in Sudan’s capital Khartoum, January 6, 2021. (Screen capture: Facebook)-Recent US-negotiated deals between Arab and Muslim countries and Israel have been a major foreign policy achievement by former US president Donald Trump’s administration.The deals were named the Abraham Accords after the biblical patriarch revered by Muslims and Jews.The signing came just over two months after Trump announced that Sudan would start to normalize ties with Israel.Before Sudan, the administration engineered diplomatic pacts late last year between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. Morocco also reestablished diplomatic relations with Israel, after cutting ties in 2000 in solidarity with Palestinians during the Second Intifada.The accords have also contributed to the severe isolation and weakening of the Palestinians by eroding a longstanding Arab consensus that recognition of Israel should only be given in return for concessions in the peace process.Mnuchin’s visit was the first by a senior American official since Trump’s administration removed the African country from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism in a deal that saw Sudan normalize its ties with Israel.Sudan is on a fragile path to democracy after a popular uprising led the military to overthrow longtime dictator Omar al-Bashir in April 2019. The county is now ruled by a joint military and civilian government that seeks better ties with Washington and the West.The government has been struggling with a huge budget deficit and widespread shortages of essential goods, including fuel, bread and medicine.Annual inflation soared past 200% in the past months as prices of bread and other staples surged, according to official figures.In December, Trump’s administration finalized the removal of Sudan from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. The move was a key incentive for the government in Khartoum to normalize relations with Israel.Sudan’s economy has suffered from decades of US sanctions and mismanagement under al-Bashir, who had ruled the country since a 1989 Islamist-backed military coup.The designation dates back to the 1990s, when Sudan briefly hosted al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and other wanted terrorists. Sudan was also believed to have served as a pipeline for Iran to supply weapons to Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

Analysis-Boxed-in Turkey tries to rekindle ties, but Israel can now play hard to get-Erdogan is eager to turn the page, as old antagonist Biden assumes office, but Jerusalem, sitting pretty with gas alliances and new Arab friends, will have some demands-By Lazar Berman-JAN 26,21-Today, 3:25 am

For over a decade, Turkey has been one of Israel’s most bitter critics on the international stage. Anti-Israel rhetoric from top officials, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, verged on the apoplectic, and Ankara also took actions that angered officials in Jerusalem, most notably providing support for the Hamas terror group.In recent weeks though, Erdogan has struck a noticeably different tone toward Israel, expressing his interest in improving ties with Turkey’s erstwhile ally.“Our heart desires that we can move our relations with them to a better point,” he said in December.The sea change is being driven by global and regional shifts that have pushed Ankara’s back against the wall: isolated from Europe and many Arab states, it is facing a potentially unfriendly White House, while its economy continues to get buffeted by the pandemic.Opening a new chapter with Israel could help bring it back in the West’s good graces and restore a fruitful military relationship.But Israel’s place in the region has also changed, driving up the price of friendship. Unlike in 2016, the last time the countries reached a detente, Israel now enjoys enhanced ties with countries in the eastern Mediterranean and an unprecedented wave of normalization agreements with Arab states.“What Turkey has yet to figure out is that it is no longer an indispensable partner for Israel,” said Selin Nasi, a Turkish international relations scholar, currently based in London.-Going cold Turkey-Turkey’s on-again, off-again relationship with Israel goes back to the founding of the Jewish state.Turkey aligned itself firmly with the West against the Soviet Union after World War II, including joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, but voted against the 1947 UN Partition Plan for Palestine, which would have created a Jewish state alongside an Arab one.Then, once it became convinced of Israel’s pro-Western orientation, Turkey became the first Muslim-majority nation to recognize the new State of Israel in 1949.After initial optimism and alignment of interests, Turkey recalled its ambassador from Israel in the wake of the 1956 Suez Crisis.Disagreements with the US over Cyprus, which it invaded in 1974, led Turkey to adopt a more balanced foreign policy, improving ties with the USSR and its Arab allies during the 1960s and 1970s. Turkey even supported the infamous 1975 “Zionism is a form of racism” UN resolution.There were moves toward reconciliation with Israel in 1986, but Turkey regularly criticized the Jewish state as a human rights violator during the first Intifada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.The breakthrough came with the start of the Madrid peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, which led to Turkey and Israel returning their ambassadors in 1992. Trade and tourism flourished, and the sides signed agreements in 1994 that marked the beginning of intensive security cooperation. Iranian fundamentalism and Syria’s support for Kurdish PKK fighters alarmed Ankara, and strategic ties with Israel were seen as crucial by the secular establishment, especially the military.Defense ties were further enhanced in 1997 in the wake of the first visit to Israel by the Turkish military chief of staff: Turkish warships made a port of call in Haifa that year and regular naval exercises began. Israeli pilots trained in Turkey and likely took off from Turkish bases to conduct reconnaissance missions against Syria, Iraq, and Iran.The positive ties began to unravel when Erdogan’s populist Justice and Development Party, also known as the AKP, came to power in 2002. As prime minister, he sought to reorient Turkish policy away from a security-based posture against traditional threats like Syria — which had driven Israel and Turkey closer together — to one aimed at positive relations with its other neighbors. While the Second Intifada raged, Erdogan turned down invitations to meet with senior Israeli officials, but still tried to play a constructive role as a mediator in covert Israel-Syria peace talks. And Turkey continued to buy arms from Israel, which in turn sold more arms to Turkey than to anywhere but India between 2000 and 2010.In late 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead against Hamas in Gaza only two days after a meeting between Erdogan and then-prime minister Ehud Olmert in Ankara. Olmert declined to inform his counterpart of the impending operation, and the proximity of the meeting to the offensive was seen as embarrassing to Erdogan, who feared being seen as complicit, and harmful to Turkey’s improved ties with the Arab world.Erdogan led the chorus of intense international criticism of Israel for its Gaza policies, including a very public verbal spat with then-president Shimon Peres during a panel in Davos in January 2009. “When it comes to killing, you know well how to kill,” declared Erdogan before storming off-stage.The wheels came off in May 2010, when Israeli naval commandoes opened fire, after being attacked, as they intercepted a flotilla to Gaza; 10 Turkish activists on the flagship Mavi Marmara died in the melee. Ankara withdrew its ambassador and expelled Israel’s envoy, as ties reached their nadir.There was moderate improvement in 2013, after US president Barack Obama orchestrated a phone call between Benjamin Netanyahu and Erdogan, in which the Israeli PM offered a carefully worded apology. But ongoing Turkish criticism over Israel’s blockade of Gaza and military actions against Hamas kept the two sides at odds.Amidst shared concerns over Iranian influence in Syria and Turkish interest in Israeli natural gas, Ankara and Jerusalem formally resolved their differences in June 2016. Full diplomatic relations were restored, among other positive gestures like Turkish help during wildfires in Israel that year.The reconciliation did not last, however. Turkey recalled its ambassador and asked Israel’s envoy to leave in May 2018, in the wake of violent protests on the Israel-Gaza border, in which dozens of Palestinians were killed. Turkish and Israeli leaders criticized each other bitterly, with Erdogan calling Israel a “child-murderer” country and Netanyahu accusing Erdogan of killing Kurdish civilians.Through the ups and downs, though, the sides never completely broke off ties, and while tourism has suffered, the countries have maintained trade and quiet diplomatic activity.Since May, a new rapprochement process has been underway. That month, an El Al plane landed in Turkey for the first time in a decade, and reports emerged that Turkey would return its ambassador to Tel Aviv.In his December remarks hoping for improved ties, Erdogan stressed that the intelligence relationship between the sides had never ceased. Unlike other rhetoric of his on Israel, much of which is seen as populist and meant for domestic consumption only, his comments now are being taken seriously.“Erdogan’s statement is meaningful,” explained Dr. Gallia Lindenstrauss, a senior research fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv. “It is similar to his statement before the 2016 normalization agreement. So it certainly is a testament to serious intentions on the Turkish side.”Jiltin’ Joe-There are several pressing reasons for Turkey to mend its ties with Israel.First and foremost is the history of personal acrimony between Erdogan and incoming US President Joe Biden.For most of US president Donald Trump’s term, the president’s chemistry with Erdogan was enough to maintain reasonably constructive US-Turkey relations in the face of conflicting regional interests and anti-Erdogan sentiment in Congress. Turkey’s decision to purchase the Russian S-400 air defense system proved more than the personal relationship could bear, so the Trump administration evicted Turkey from the F-35 fighter jet project, and finally sanctioned its fellow NATO member in December 2020.With Biden, there is no love lost.In 2014, then-vice president Biden had to apologize to Erdogan, after he stated in a speech that Erdogan’s policies had contributed to the rise of the Islamic State.In the Turkish press, Biden was described as one of the perpetrators of the 2016 attempted military coup against Erdogan, according to Hay Eytan Cohen Yanarocak, a Turkey scholar at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security. The Obama administration also refused a Turkish request following the coup to extradite Fethullah Gulen, the cleric Erdogan blames for instigating it.More recently, as a presidential candidate in 2020, Biden described Erdogan as an “autocrat” in The New York Times and said that the US should “make it clear that we support opposition leadership.”“He has to pay a price,” said Biden, stressing that the US should enable opposition figures to “be able to take on and defeat Erdogan.”Erdogan spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said Biden’s statements were “based on pure ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy.”“The days of ordering Turkey around are over,” Kalin wrote at the time, adding ominously, “But if you still think you can try, be our guest. You will pay the price.”The analysis of Turkey by @JoeBiden is based on pure ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy.The days of ordering Turkey around are over.But if you still think you can try, be our guest.You will pay the price. — Ibrahim Kalin (@ikalin1) August 16, 2020-Erdogan was one of the last world leaders to congratulate Biden on his win. According to reports, Biden has yet to accept Erdogan’s offer to speak on the phone.“The current shift in Turkish foreign policy derives from the fact that there is new leadership in Washington,” said Cohen.“Erdogan is trying to mend the fences with Joe Biden. In order to do that, he launched a new rapprochement not only with the United States, but also with the United States’ allies, meaning Israel and the European Union.”Rivals all around-Beyond the US, Turkey finds itself increasingly isolated, and could face a pro-Western regional rivalry hardening into a determined anti-Turkish bloc, amid pushback over aggressive gas exploration in the Eastern Mediterranean and military offensives.For the better part of a decade, Turkey has been engaged in a bitter rivalry with Egypt that began when Erdogan backed the Muslim Brotherhood. after the group was ousted from power in Cairo.The rivalry between the Sunni Muslim powers has metastasized into other areas and split the Middle East, with Turkey and Qatar leading a pro-Islamist faction, and Egypt siding with Saudi Arabia and the UAE in a pro-Western camp.In the Mediterranean, Egypt has aligned itself with Greece and Cyprus, which accuse Turkey of illegally drilling for natural gas in their exclusive economic zones. Together with Israel, the countries formed the EastMed Gas Forum, headquartered in Cairo, and they have conducted joint military exercises.Ankara also faces worsening ties with Europe. Erdogan, who has stoked Islamist sentiment, infuriated French and EU officials by stating that President Emmanuel Macron needs “mental treatment,” for condemning the beheading of a teacher who showed a picture of the prophet Muhammed.Refugees have also been an ongoing sticking point, with Erdogan threatening to let refugees across the border into Greece if the EU does not keep its end of a 2016 refugee deal. EU leaders have also criticized Turkey for human rights abuses.Turkish military interventions are another cause for alarm in Europe. Members of the European Parliament called for sanctions against Turkey over its October 2019 military operation in northern Syria. France, which has emerged as a leader of the European anti-Turkish camp, has pushed EU sanctions on Turkey for its military involvement in the Libya civil war, Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh.Five of Turkey’s top 10 trading partners are in the EU and the threat of sanctions, backed by Cyprus and Greece, could not come at a worse time, with the country’s economy already banged up by the coronavirus pandemic.The Turkish lira had been in decline while inflation rose even before COVID-19 hit. Now these problems had taken on new dimensions: food prices skyrocketed as the lira lost 30 percent against the dollar.Erdogan has managed to reverse some of these trends, but the government will have to continue to invest significant sums into health care and social services to deal with the coronavirus and its aftereffects.Sustained economic growth was the key to Erdogan’s popularity among the Turkish working class as prime minister. and he may be feeling pressure to seek a new posture on the international stage to get the economy back on track.A hug from Israel won’t come cheap-In the face of increasing isolation and economic challenges, Turkey has made a decision to chart a new course in its foreign policy, including overtures to Greece and the EU.Restoring ties with Israel is a key part of Turkey’s new foreign policy direction.“In Turkey’s eyes, Israel is considered the representative of the US administration in the Middle East,” said Cohen.A more constructive relationship with Israel would help dampen anti-Erdogan sentiment on Capitol Hill and in the Biden administration, in Turkey’s calculation.And there is certainly potential for both sides to resolve their differences without stepping on too many of Ankara’s toes.“If you look at the outcomes, Ankara’s military presence in Syria, Libya, and Azerbaijan does not undermine either Israeli or American interests,” pointed out Nasi.Israel also has positive reasons to turn the page with Turkey. Syria, Iraq, and Iran all border Turkey, and renewed defense ties with Ankara would enhance Israeli military and intelligence activities in the region.“Turkey as a NATO member and a close ally of the United States is a strategic asset for Israel, and is good for national security,” stressed Cohen.But Turkey is discovering that Israel is not jumping at the opportunity to restore close ties.Israel’s burgeoning diplomatic and security relationship with Arab states has strengthened Israel’s position in the region. Israel has other avenues to engage diplomatically with the Muslim world, has new trade partners, and can now fly over Arab airspace to go east instead of being forced to rely on Turkey’s.The Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the possibility of improved ties, but it is likely that Israel will have three main demands in talks with Turkey.Protesters chant slogans as they wave Hamas, Turkish and Palestinian flags outside the residence of the Israeli ambassador in Ankara on May 14, 2018, during a demonstration against the opening of the new US embassy in Jerusalem. (AFP Photo/Adem Altan)-The first is an old demand: Turkey must cease allowing Hamas to plan military activities from its soil. Turkey agreed to forbid the terror group from carrying out any non-political activity in 2016, but in 2019, Israeli sources told The Telegraph that Turkey is allowing Hamas members to plan attacks from there. Last year, an Israeli diplomat said Erdogan had granted citizenship to 12 Hamas members.Israel will also want Turkey to be more transparent about its activities in East Jerusalem, according to Lindenstrauss. With the cooperation of Muslim Brotherhood groups in the city, Turkey is actively asserting itself in Arab neighborhoods and on the Temple Mount by initiating and funding cultural and political activities. Jordan and other Arab countries have reportedly asked Israel to do more to curb growing Turkish influence in Jerusalem.Finally, Israel will also likely demand Erdogan and Turkish officials tone down their harsh anti-Israel rhetoric, particularly around Israeli policies in Gaza.Since relations were not officially downgraded in 2018, Lindenstrauss pointed out, Turkey can opt to return its ambassador unilaterally, leaving Israel to decide when or whether to respond in kind.Despite Israel’s cautious response thus far to Turkish statements, they would welcome a return to normalcy if they believed it was sincere. “If all of these terms were met by the Turkish administration, every official in Jerusalem would rejoice and embrace such a genuine normalization,” argued Cohen.“Israel still wants to hug Turkey, but is not running into its arms.”

Is it Legal to Force Medication on Someone?
January 25, 2013

Many people wonder, is it legal to force medical treatment on someone? People generally assume it is not. After all, would that not be a significant infringement of that person’s rights? However, the actual answer, as is often the case in law, is that it depends.The question of forcing treatment can arise in a variety of circumstances, such as:

• When a person has Schizophrenia and refuses to take antipsychotic medication
• When a person is unconscious due to an accident and requires emergency care
• When a teenager refuses medication and the parents disagree with this decision (such as in cases involving Anorexia Nervosa)
• When a person has Alzheimer’s disease and requires physical health care (for example, treatment for cancer)

Numerous times we have heard people say that a relative needs treatment...“but we can’t force her because she is an adult…”However, in some cases it is legally permissible in Ontario to force medical treatment on an adult.The number one consideration in the question of forcing medication on another person in Ontario is whether that individual is capable of making his or her own decisions. If capable, then what another person thinks is best is usually irrelevant and of no legal force – even if that person is a medical professional.There is a simple two-part test in the Health Care Consent Act to determine whether a person is legally capable of making a particular treatment decision:

1. Is the person able to understand the information relevant to making a decision about the treatment?
2. Is the person able to appreciate the reasonably foreseeable consequences of the decision or lack of a decision?

If the answer is “yes” to both of these questions, then the person is permitted to decide for himself or herself whether to consent to or refuse treatment (although there are some exceptions). Of course, capacity is not all-inclusive. A person may be capable with respect to some decisions, and incapable with respect to others. To make matters more confusing, capacity can fluctuate. A person could be legally capable one day, and incapable the next. This can arise in cases involving mental illness and dementia.In most cases it is the second branch of the test that an "incapable" person will fail. This is often established by comments demonstrating the person lacks insight into their condition.Although the word "test" is used, there is not actually a specific capacity test that is administered. Rather, capacity is a legal concept and the results can emerge through conversation. In the case of capacity to make a treatment decision, it is the health care professional proposing the treatment who decides if the patient has or lacks capacity. It is important to note that, legally, our health care professionals must presume their patients are capable (unless there are "reasonable grounds" to think otherwise).The law in Ontario places great emphasis on autonomy and permits capable people to make their own decisions – even if those decisions are objectively bad decisions (such as refusing treatment knowing that this might result in death). The most notable example of this scenario is when a person who is a Jehovah’s Witness refuses a life-saving blood transfusion because it is against that person’s religious views. Many people have difficulty understanding this choice, but in the eyes of the law, it is only relevant that the decision be a capable one.In short, there are in fact some circumstances in which treatment can be forced (including forcing someone to attend a hospital for examination), but we generally cannot force treatment on a capable person who refuses. There is a long-standing tradition of common law in Ontario upholding the right to bodily integrity, dignity, and personal autonomy, and any forced treatment must occur only in specific circumstances and in accordance with the applicable laws.If you would like to know more about how this blog post applies to your loved one, you can book a meeting with us by texting or calling 416-937-8768 or emailing us.Disclaimer: Capacity is a very complex topic and this blog canvasses only some of the relevant information. DO NOT RELY ON THIS BLOG TO MAKE ANY LEGAL DECISIONS. Please consult with your legal advisor or contact Lisa Feldstein Law Office to find out how the law applies to your particular circumstance.
