Another Election Computer Glitch in Michigan Reversed as Republican Declared Belated Winner
A Michigan Republican received a welcome shock when his apparent loss at the polls was reversed due to the fix of a “technical glitch” that originally had him losing the election.
Adam Kochenderfer was originally declared the loser in his race against Democrat Melanie Hartman for a position on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners. The narrow race appeared to end with Hartman the winner by just 104 votes.
Yet the county clerk soon discovered that a set of absentee ballots had actually been reported in the voter totals twice. Once the duplicate set was removed, Kochenderfer came out ahead by 1,127 votes.

Austin Homicides Hit 20-Year High; Rise Not Linked to Police Funding, Police Say
The number of Austin homicide cases in 2020 has risen to 44, the highest number of killings the city has seen in more than 20 years, according to police records.
The jump in reported homicides comes in a year in which Austin is facing some of its toughest challenges: a global pandemic, an economy crippled by the health crisis, and widespread public distrust of police that has inspired calls to cut department budgets.
But Austin Police Department officials on Monday said the increase in homicides is not attributable to recent changes related to police funding in the city.

Biotech Expert: COVID Vaccine Announcement Was Deliberately Delayed Until After Election
A biotech sector expert has suggested that the announcement of a new successful COVID-19 vaccine was deliberately delayed until after the presidential election so it didn’t boost Trump’s chances of winning.
Yesterday it was announced that a new vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech had a 90% success rate in preventing people from getting coronavirus.
Despite some skepticism over the rollout of the vaccine, some governments have suggested that it could be available as soon as next month if it gets fast track approval.
According to Barry Norris of Argonaut Capital Partners, an expert on the biotech sector, the announcement could have been made sooner and was likely delayed so that Trump couldn’t take full credit.

“And who insinuated this one would be illegitimate, too, if they lost again. Let’s have no lectures on this subject from that contingent,” McConnell added.

Minneapolis Reportedly Running Low on Cops Amid a Surge in Crime
The city of Minneapolis is looking to bring in additional cops to help the city’s police force battle a violent crime wave just months after the city trimmed the department’s budget by half a percent, local reports said.
The city — where George Floyd was killed while in police custody on May 25, sparking nationwide protests — is currently facing an uptick in crime and an officer shortage.
Should Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and the City Council approve the plan to beef up the Minneapolis Police Department, officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit Police would temporarily work with the city, assisting with responding to violent 911 calls, the Star Tribune reported.

With globalists and democrats now firmly believing that Joe Biden will become America’s next president in January of 2021, we’re not the least bit surprised that the msm has announced that ‘big pharma terrorist-group funder’, Pfizer, has announced a ‘Covid-19 breakthrough’ that is allegedly 90% effective at preventing people from catching the ‘disease’.
And with almost every mainstream media outlet, including the Drudge Report as their lead headline, now ‘pushing’ this ‘miraculous’ story, we remind you that months ago, President Trump’s son Eric warned America that Covid-19 would somehow just ‘disappear’ after the election, giving even more credibility to the argument that this ‘virus’ was ‘created’ to help hand the election to globalist Joe Biden.
And while Forbes was quick to point out days ago that it didn’t magically ‘disappear’ after the election as Trump suggested it would, we’re now witnessing the beginning of the ‘machinations’ to make that happen, with Trump warning back in May: “Guess what, after November 3, coronavirus will magically all of a sudden go away and disappear and everybody will be able to reopen.”

Subversion Factor: Electoral Fraud by Socialist Democrats
Mary Fanning and Alan Jones reported that in February 2009, the Obama administration commandeered and used a powerful supercomputer known as the Hammer. The Hammer is Brennan and Clapper’s secret surveillance system and I wrote about it in November of 2019. Fanning and Jones write that the Hammer utilizes an exploit application known as Scorecard. Hammer’s designer, former CIA contractor and whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, says Scorecard is capable of hacking into elections and stealing the vote. In late 2015, Montgomery revealed that Scorecard was used by Obama on Florida election computers to win the 2012 election.
Fanning and Jones write that Scorecard has been activated once again; this time to steal the election for Joe Biden in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada and Arizona.
The research in TheAmericanReport.org by Fanning and Jones has always been impeccable. And I’m not the only one saying this. Attorney Sidney Powell and Lt. General Thomas McInerny have exposed what Fanning and Jones have reported on Steve Bannon’s program. Powell says, “And the likelihood that three percent of the vote total was changed in the pre-election ballot voting that were collected digitally by using the Hammer program and the software program called Scorecard would have amounted to a massive change in the vote that would have gone across the country and explained a lot of what we’re seeing.”

The Real Reason Regressives Are Pretending Biden Won
Below is just a tiny sampling of the massive voting irregularities and fraud that were discovered both before and after Joe Biden and Kalamity Harris declared victory through their media lackeys, in clear defiance of the U.S. Constitution and 243-years of American tradition:
On Election night at approximately 4 a.m., 138,000 ballots were”instantaneously” counted in Wisconsin and, magically, every single ballot was for Joe Biden (Mmmm). The next day, Rudy Giuliani, in Philly, PA,spelled out massive fraud re mail-in ballots that Republican observers were illegally stopped from overseeing the vote — the same illegalities happening in Arizona, Detroit, Nevada, and Milwaukee. In Michigan, a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower reported that his superiors told him to back date late mail-in ballots so they would be accepted.They also recorded the vote of a man born in 1850 and another who died in 1984. Also in Michigan a software error (Mmmm) switched 6,000 Republican votes to Democrat…the same thing happened in 47 Michigan counties! A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleged there were at least 21,000 dead people on PA’s voter rolls. As of October 2020, at least 9,212 registrants had been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants dead for at least 10 years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years.” In a county in Georgia, poll watchers took ballots home with them. Military ballots for Trump were found in a trash heap in PA. In VA, Trump held roughly a 300,000-vote lead, but then — again, magically — a huge trove of approximately 400,000 votes came in for Joe Biden — but not one for Donald Trump. “Amazing, writes blogger Fred Miller, “how one can suddenly discover huge batches of votes 100% for Biden, 0% for Trump, when and wherever one chances to need them.” Gen. Thomas McInerney explained that a pair of computer software programs — Hammer and Scorecard — initially designed for the CIA before being privatized by Deep State players from the Obama administration, were used to change votes from Trump to Biden in multiple voting locations…possibly in all the swing states. Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons, on his death bed (in Nov. 2019), reportedly told his longtime friend McInerney: “The Hammer is key to the coup.” Another computer system, Dominion, although known to be defective, was used in 30 states, including every swing state. And whaddaya know? Nancy Pelosi’s Chief of Staff and Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s husband are both shareholders in Dominion! Author Michael Charles Master reported (read the entire riveting article) that at midnight, “Trump led in all the battleground states by large margins…but for some unexplainable reason, WI, MI, PA, NC and NV all stopped counting votes simultaneously… and none of those states counted any additional votes for the next three hours…and NOT ONE TV commentator — including on now-leftist Fox — asked why! Master pointed out that all five of those states have Democrat governors. Mmmm. A self-described Democrat Party Worker from Detroit bragged on Facebook: “I threw out every Trump ballot I saw. Tens of thousands of them and so did all of my co-workers”
But don’t take my word for it. Here, in his own words, is Hunter Biden’s father boasting of having participated in developing “the most extensive voter fraud organization in history.”

Twitter to Add Election “Misinformation” Warnings When You Go to Like or Retweet
In the recent past, Twitter, alongside other Big Tech social media platforms, has made significant changes to enforce stronger restrictions against what it decided is “misinformation.” What we have now is one such move where Twitter may soon make it harder to like certain tweets.

EU Imposing Tariffs on US Goods is Wrong Move, Says Czech Foreign Minister
Czech Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek considers the introduction of tariffs on goods imported from the United States to the European Union to be the right move at the moment. According to him, it would be better to wait for the new administration of Joe Biden to take office, but he respects the decision. The Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlicek called on the European Commission ministerial video conference to seek a friendly solution to the dispute.
The EU will introduce tariffs totaling 4 billion dollars (€3,4 billion) a year in retaliation for Washington’s support to aircraft manufacturer Boeing. The European customs bloc will come into force on Tuesday as it is the last step in a 16-year transatlantic dispute over aircraft manufacturers. The US has previously introduced tariffs on European goods due to subsidies by European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. At the end of October, the World Trade Organization (WTO) also authorized EU customs retaliation for Washington’s support to Boeing.

The EU to ‘Spy’ On WhatsApp Messages to Fight Terrorism But Privacy Experts Are Ringing the Alarm
The Council of the European Union has prepared a proposal that obliges operators of communication applications such as WhatsApp to provide intelligence services with access to encrypted communication. The measure should help to prevent terrorist attacks such as the ones in Vienna and France. The United States and Great Britain plan similar steps, according to Czech news portal Idnes.cz.
WhatsApp, Signal, and other mobile communication applications use the so-called end-to-end-E2E technique to ensure user privacy. That way, a message sent from a single device can be only decrypted using the platform-specific encryption key by the end-user receiving the message.

What’s Next for Algeria’s Military?
by Mohamed Sabry
Since Algeria’s independence from France in 1962, the North African country has pursued a policy of non-interference, refraining from sending troops to missions abroad. But this policy is now about to change after Algerian voters approved a revised constitution that allows the military to participate in missions outside the country’s borders.
Referendum Gives Green Light to Algerian Troop Deployment Abroad
Some 23.7% of Algeria’s eligible voters cast ballot in this weekend’s referendum on the revised constitution, a historic low for a major vote. Around 3.3 million voters supported the changes, while 1.6 million voted against them.
The constitutional changes include presidential term limits, new powers for the parliament and judiciary and a clause to allow the army to intervene outside Algeria’s borders.

Why Biden Won’t be Able to Escape Trump’s Foreign Policy Legacy
by Matt Snape
Despite the fact that the Trump campaign team refuses to accept the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election that so many networks have called in Joe Biden’s favor, it is fair to say that (unless U.S. President Donald Trump possesses substantial evidence that voter fraud took place across the U.S. during the time that mail-in ballots were being posted) he has lost the election.
As Biden prepares to become president of the most powerful country in the world over the next few months, his administration will have an impact on foreign policy no matter what. Although he will have a completely different vision to Trump, he cannot escape the latter’s legacy on foreign policy, which is far better than many of his critics would like to believe.
Trump Has a Successful Legacy in the Middle East
Biden will inherit Trump’s mostly successful Middle Eastern peace process. The current U.S. President presided over normalization deals with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that resulted in both nations accepting Israel’s legitimacy.

EU leaders are planning to tell migrants to learn the language of their home country and integrate their children into their new societies in a drive to stamp out Islamism after recent attacks in France and Austria.
A draft EU statement supported by French president Emmanuel Macron says the recent killings have revealed the ‘extent of the threat we face from Islamist terrorism’, according to the Guardian.
Using the kind of language which has often been condemned as racist when coming from right-wing parties, the text demands the ‘recognition of European values’ and says that ‘refusal to integrate’ should be ‘sanctioned’ more strongly.

Over 50% of Prisoners in Austria Are Foreigners
Over 50 percent of all prisoners in Austria have a foreign background, according to data from the Austrian Judiciary. The shockingly high foreign prison population has prompted the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) to argue that it is time to end mass migration to reduce this burden on the Austrian state.
The FPO raised the issue of Austria’s large foreign population in prisons during a special session of the National Council, a house of Austria’s national parliament, on the topic of “uninvited foreigners”.
While foreigners account for over 50 percent of the prison population in Austria, they make up only 21 percent of the overall population of Austria, according to Austrian government data from of 2016.

Security Analyst: Terrorism is Linked to Migration Waves
Every religion has its radical or extremist branches but, at least on the European continent, no religion is as aggressive and inclines to terrorism more than Islam, according to security analyst Josef Kraus from Masaryk University in Brno.
In the Rozstrel program broadcasted on iDNES.cz, Josef Kraus talked mainly about the latest terrorist attacks on the European continent.
“These are still sporadic and relatively short-range attacks, carried out by a smaller number of people. On the other hand, we can talk about a growing trend,” warned the analyst, adding that we can indeed see that religiously motivated violence and terrorism on the European continent have increased dramatically in the last few years.

The Pope’s New Encyclical: A Surrender?
Authored by Lawrence Franklin via The Gatestone Institute
The Pope’s Encyclical “Fratelli Tutti” (“Brothers All”) sadly seems more a massive and unwieldy political document than a religious guide to the Catholic faithful. The encyclical’s intended audience appears to be secular world rather than people of faith. The 43,000-word tome contains almost no discussion of Catholic dogmas. Although the Pontiff’s diagnosis of the world’s ills seems accurate enough, unfortunately his proposed antidotes — equality of result rather than equality of opportunity and individual liberty, the bedrocks of Western democracies — would seriously threaten freedom.

Why they even allow them to land in Canary Island for the first place , they illegally and they are dangerous!!, send them back , Where are they put this savages??? In Our homes ??, what are they planning to do in Europe!!!, kill ?, reape ?, selling drugs ? Send them back where they come from it’s no place in Europe, Europe is full , we don’t need another terrorist, just happened in Nice not long ago !!! This Spaniards forgot already?? What kind of barbaric parasites they are !!! Wake up idiots, this is Islamic invasion..
Western Europe had to first be feminized before it was traumatised. The Muslim savage senses and sees and seizes the opportunity to destroy the infidel and his libraries. So many stupid infidel women politicians and their afraid deaf dumb dominated lefty men helpers. The UK points to France and seems to not notice they too are under Muslim middle ageing. Diversity is and has been an absolute disaster. No way out without our ancestors.
Euro Woman insanely frowns on having more than 1.3 babies; Muslim women have a half dozen. Do the math.
I believe that the issue of births per native European woman is a little more complex than just not wanting fewer children.
Of course there are vast numbers of hedonist women who don’t want any children in preference to clubbing and promiscuity, but there are also many more traditional women who would prefer more children but choose not to for economic reasons. Globalist scum can be thanked for that. They suck the jobs out of European nations and offshore them to China just like globalist scum does here in the US. Destroy wages and force everyone into the workforce whether they want to or not just to make ends meet and there isn’t much time or money for the care of children even if the desire is there.
Happens everywhere including Australia so we have to import millions from third world and Asia. Country is no longer recognisable. Values are those of third world hell hole. Too many people and not enough jobs. Existing children can’t get jobs as the migration pipeline needs to be kept open for new migrants so “diversity hiring” is enforced. Don’t bother applying if you are white(old migrant). New migrant’s migration experience has to be supported versus existing population. Australians have been fools thinking they could have a high standard of living and no/few kids And no consequences. Also brainwashed by the global population sustainability argument which is ignored by Africa and Asia. Only white people think there are too many people on the planet. Africans and Asians don’t think there are enough. Eg Vietnams population has tripled since the Vietnam war and the data shows the war hardly made a dent in their population. That’s why they were found smuggled into the UK, breeding uncontrollably.
You are going to have to expend a lot of rounds to discourage these savages, anything else is half measures and will break the banks, time to be resolute, absolute and profound in dealing with them.
and there is another more subtle effect of this invasion in vacation resorts: thus, the inhabitants of the leafier quarters of Europe come to enjoy the pleasures of cultural enrichment, a thing they only know from the papers. Maybe a spoiled holiday makes them change their mind, a makeshift tent- town on the golfcourse makes them sue to get the prepaid greenfees reembursed. Beggars in front of ” Chez Bruno” in St.Tropez will down the spirits of patrons for sure.

Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz to create “political Islam offense” to punish those who “feed the soil” of Islamist terrorism

Very good news from Austria. Unfortunately political Islam is the only Islam, which he doesn’t seem to realize.
