Michigan county flips back to Trump following election software update

Election software in Michigan's Antrim County that had incorrectly directed Democratic votes to presidential candidate Joe Biden was updated Friday, putting thousands of votes correctly into President Trump's totals.

The software had reportedly caused a significant number of votes to be allotted to Biden in a county that has for years been reliably red. In the presumed final count, Biden had originally led in the county by roughly 3,000 votes. Revised totals show that Trump won the county by around 2,500. 

The error came after an election staffer failed to update the software to adjust for changes in a local ballot, state officials said following the incident.

Addressing the mishap, Michigan GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox said Friday during a press conference that "47 counties [in Michigan] use this same software in the same capacity."

"These counties that use this software need to closely examine their results for similar discrepancies," she said.

How spineless and traitorous are most of the GOP?

Fake ballots, dead people voting - thousands of them, hundreds of thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots were counted in the names of people who did not request them or submit them.

Their efforts to cover up their treasonous attempt at a coup from the moment Trump won the 2016 election must be revealed.

What is so shockingly infuriating to the millions of people who voted for President Trump is the abject cowardice of most Republicans in Congress and in those state legislatures.

Every single one of them who is calling for Trump to concede is a traitor.

Any Republican who calls for Trump's concession at this point is revealing himself as a member in good standing of the Deep State swamp, which is shot through with unimaginable corruption.

Trump is the good guy, the man we need at this moment in time.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, is anything but weak.

China and Russia encircling divided Western allies

China and Russia are posing an increasing threat to Western allies, as Nato tries to heal internal splits with the US and Turkey.

"China is investing massively in new weapons. It is coming closer to us, from the Arctic to Africa," Stoltenberg told press ahead of a Nato foreign ministers' meeting on Tuesday.

"We're seeing both China and Russia making a lot more forays through ships, submarines, as well as overflying boundaries," in the Arctic, Hutchison told press in a separate briefing the same day.

China was trying to restrict freedom of navigation for commercial ships, as well as buying up strategic assets in Europe, she added.

"We see predatory lending, especially on infrastructure, where China has gone into countries to start a building project for that country and then when ... the loans couldn't be paid back, China has taken the infrastructure. We have seen China take over ports throughout Europe," Hutchison noted.

On Turkey, Stoltenberg said that even if there was an accidental clash with allies in the Mediterranean, Turkey's Nato membership would "Prevent [it] from spiralling out of control".

She described Turkey's recent actions toward its European allies as being of "a very aggressive character, or, I would say, provocative character".

Did HYDRA use Dominion Voting Systems to attack the US? Smartmatic is owned by Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, connected to Soros through the Open Society Foundation

Soros points out that a Ukrainian department would later take over the funding for the Reform Council so there's that.

Ukraine became the crown jewel for the now "Institutionalized" U.S. Deep State and their like minded partners such as George Soros.

So how did they plan on getting around that? Exactly what George Soros proposed in Ukraine just rewrite the Constitution.

While Soros funded NGOs went to work rewriting the Constitution, he then moved to get his guys into top level positions within the government.

In February 2012, the U.S. Government gave George Soros nearly $5 million to carry out a quote "Civil Society Program." According to the financial disclosure, Soros was involved in training and funding Macedonians on freedom of association, youth policies, citizen initiatives, persuasive argumentation and use of new media.

Judicial Watch has done some digging on this, and they've interviewed several Macedonian officials to find out what the State Department and Soros are up to.

"Spontaneous, indigenous popular uprisings" continue to break out TO THIS DAY, and the fingerprints of Civil Society 2.0 and George Soros are all over it.

Newly-leaked document reveal China's bungling of pandemic's early days

A trove of newly-leaked documents detail how China bungled its handling of the pandemic's early days - including lowballing COVID-19 data and taking weeks to diagnose new cases, according to a report on Monday.

The 117 pages of internal docs obtained by CNN outline how health officials in Hubei, where the virus was first detected, were hampered by chronic underfunding, leading to gaps in staffing and testing equipment.

The papers, from the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reveal inconsistencies between what officials knew at the start of the outbreak and what they publicly reported, the report said.

A report from Hubei marked "Internal document, please keep confidential" shows how local health officials on Feb. 10 reported 5,918 new coronavirus cases - while the publicly reported number was just 2,478, according to CNN. "China had an image to protect internationally, and lower-ranking officials had a clear incentive to under-report - or to show their superiors that they were under-reporting - to outside eyes," said Andrew Mertha, director of the China Studies Program at John Hopkins University.

By mid-February, officials did improve the system and fired top health officials in Hubei who would have been responsible for the reporting, the outlet reported.

The documents also reveal how it took an average of 23.2 days to diagnose cases in the first months of the outbreak, causing the government to use outdated figures to determine how to respond to the unfolding crisis.

The papers show how Hubei was hit with a previously-undisclosed outbreak of influenza in December, potentially complicating the work of officials on the lookout for new viruses.

Get It Together, GOP. The Georgia Senate Runoffs Are Not Going To Win Themselves

This moment with GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel pretty much encapsulates how well the two Georgia Senate runoffs are going amid allegations of voter irregularities and lawsuits regarding the November 3rd elections.

McDaniel is correct, Senator David Perdue is currently leading challenger Jon Ossoff by approximately 100,000 votes.

Republican voters in counties like mine, which are numerous, need to turn out on January 5th at or near Election Day 2020 to overwhelm the metro Atlanta counties.

The young lady who knocked on my door asked me timidly if I was going to vote in the Senate runoff and if I knew who the pro-life candidates were.

Georgia needs about 10,000 more of her if the GOP wants to win on January 5th. She asked me if I had been watching the news and if something bad had happened.

David Perdue is leading Jon Ossoff by 100,000 votes.

The GOP has just over 30 days to fix a voter confidence problem and engage as many people as possible.
