Undoing Trump's Legacy

In spite of as much hindrance as the Democrat Party could manage, Trump has made many changes and several real achievements in his four years of his presidency.


Foreign Relations:

 

- Peace deals. Trump has brokered peace deals between Israel and three Arab countries,  the UAE, Sudan and Bahrein.   He managed this by bypassing Palestine, who only want peace after the obliteration of Israel, a condition which the Israelis find unacceptable.  He moved the embassy in Israel to its capital, Jerusalem.  And just recently, November, 2020, Trump has committed to pulling 2,500 soldiers out of Afghanistan and Iraq.  

Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize four times.

-  The 'Caliphate' that  ISIS claimed has been wiped out. Sadly, the sick ideology persists.

- Iran. Trump put an end to the deal that Obama organised. The deal was that Iran committed to not building a nuclear arsenal, temporarily, in exchange for considerations that included a secret and very large amount of money. (Obama, for years, denied that there was money involved.)  

-  NATO.  Trump managed to persuade other countries pay more towards their own protection.

- China - Trump tackled China's unfair trade practices.  Administrations before him had always avoided doing that. 

-  Cuba - Trump reimposed sanctions on Cuba. 

-  The Paris Climate agreement. Trump withdrew from this agreement, pointing out that it disproportionately penalised Western countries while asking nothing of 'developing' countries. 

There have been no new wars under Trump.  That does not sound like a big achievement unless you know that every president before him, for decades, started at least one new war. 

Domestically: 

- More spending on Defence. 

- Better border protection. (Building a wall was a part of it.)   

- The first two Covid vaccines have been announced, both of them at least partly as a result of Trump's 'Operation Warp Speed.'  

The Economy: 

Lower taxes and the reduction of red and green tape have boosted the economy.  The stock market broke records before Covid, and was rapidly recovering in the months before the election. Unemployment was at a record low. 

Joe Biden is expected to be inaugurated as President in January, 2021.

A lot of Trump's achievements will be dismantled, some immediately after Biden takes office. It is said that he is planning 'a blizzard' of executive orders in the first days of his presidency. 

He has nominated four key areas to attend to first: Covid 19, economic recovery, racial equality and climate change.

1. Covid 19:

Joe Biden wants everyone to be wearing masks. Like the current president, he will not have direct control over Covid measures, but he will have influence. He is also advising more severe restrictions and lockdowns.  He is wanting access to the planning of the release of vaccines to the population, although his reason may be more that he wants the credit rather than that he doubts the efficiency of those organising it.  

Trump, on the other hand, has said it was up to each person whether or not they wear face-masks, and dislikes lockdowns bacause of the dire effect they have on the economy. 

Official advice, including from the World Health Organization has veered from one side to the other, both on the issue of the effectiveness of face masks and the effectiveness of lockdowns. 

Trump himself, seldom wears a mask.  Biden is  hardly ever seen without a mask.

2. Economic Recovery

Joe Biden gave a speech about how he would lead the country to an economic recovery.  But if he influences state governors to lock down, then the economic recovery that was already happening, will be reversed.

"Once we shut down the virus and deliver economic relief to workers and businesses, then we can start to build back better than before," he said.

3. Racial Equality:

In 1963,  Sir Martin Luther King said, 'I have a dream.'

Sir Martin Luther King, Jnr

'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'

By the 1980s, that was largely achieved. People were judged by character, not by colour of skin.  But that has changed, especially in the last decade.

Now, the pretend 'anti-racists' consider the idea espoused by King, itself, racist.  Now, in the eyes of some on the Left of politics, we must see, first of all, the race of someone, and give any person 'of colour' utmost consideration.  If we criticise a person of colour, no matter how justified, it is likely to be called 'racist.' 

 ('Person of colour' appears to be the latest accepted term. 'Coloured' is now such a racist term that an elderly cricket bureaucrat recently lost his job for using it.)  

As racial minorities already have full equality under the law, plus advantaged treatment in many areas such as jobs, what Joe Biden probably means when he speaks of 'racial equality'  is that he will pander to the thugs that run the Black Lives Matter' movement, and emphasise the nonsensical 'Critical Race Theory' (CRT)  that Trump tried to ban.  This is the 'theory' that whites are all privileged and should apologise for their 'inherent racism.'  CRT is a sick and a dangerous ideology of racism that purports to be anti-racism.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump issued an Executive Order banning the use of CRT training in US federal agencies.

It is very likely that that will not only be reversed, but CRT is likely to become far more widespread.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/11/13/critical-race-theory-is-the-ideology-of-the-bureaucracy/?fbclid=IwAR3oiqo14LKuvvzm9McKCFC0UkeesbhiDZXEXcm7g-3A-eMYGVu2wQg2FWA

BLM riots

CRT gives rise to some destructive conclusions such as this nonsense.

 

Chelsea Handler.- “As long as you are part of the system [and] participating in the system and not trying to dismantle the system, then you are participating in racism [and] in a racist society, because that’s what we are living in.”

Leaders of the Black Lives Matter (BLM)  movement have already been making demands of Biden in return for their support in voting him in.  That may mean some of the 'Defunding the Police' nonsense, and that will mean that everyone becomes less safe. 

It is mostly naive young people who think that police can be replaced with social workers.

The ones demonstrating here are young women - those who most need the protection of law and the enforcers of law - the police. 

They might be idealistic, but they are very foolish. 

-------------------------

4. Climate Change:

In the days before the election, Joe Biden has praised the 'Green New Deal,' and then immediately backtracked and said he did not agree with it.  

In the months and years before the election, Joe Biden has said that fracking will be banned, and that it will not be banned.  It appears now that he will ban fracking for new gas supplies, although it was fracking that enabled America to become self sufficient in energy production. 

He has also contradicted himself on whether the use of fossil fuels will continue, though the most recent statement seems to be that he will phase it out. 

This will be devastating for jobs in some areas and will result in more expensive and less reliable electricity, as has happened in other places. 

 The banning of the use of fossil fuels has a disproportionately negative effect on normal people, but seldom on the more wealthy.   It is a popular notion among the more wealthy.  

Joe Biden wants to attain net zero emissions by 2050. 

The Paris Agreement:

Trump withdrew from the Paris agreement because it was disadvantageous to America. At the same time, technological advances have resulted in a decrease in 'emissions'  in America, more than almost all countries that are still in it.  

Biden has undertaken to rejoin, and plans a myriad of emission reduction measures - electric cars, for instance.  (It matters not that when all 'emissions' are counted, electric cars are less 'green' than ordinary cars.)  

Biden's policies may please Green activists but will be detrimental to America's economy.

Other differences in policy.

China:  

Not only has China shown itself to be a spiteful and a temperamental trading partner,  it has shown increased aggression in territory acquisition. Xi Jinping (Dictator of China) has told his army to 'prepare for war.'    China is a big worry.  

In the years of his presidency, Donald Trump called out China on its unfair trade practices and its cyber-spying, and has refused to show weakness in his dealings with the dictatorship.  

Soldiers of the Chinese army

Joe Biden has said that policy in regard to China may not change, but Biden does not have the toughness of Trump. And that is a concern.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/xi-jinping-tells-china-marine-corps-to-prepare-for-war/news-story/2adfa20da8edf1b601fcaf46747860f5

Biden and Brexit:

When Britain was having their referendum on Brexit, then President Obama threatened that if they voted for Brexit, then they could not count on America to give them any preferential trade treatment.  Trump, on the other hand, is supportive.

But Biden is not.  Biden's win is bad for Britain. It may even be used by those in Britain who still want to defy the people's will, and remain as a part of the EU.

https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/11/09/biden-vs-brexit/?fbclid=IwAR0N5Rtz2WnYlXfh02ffqpmLIcRBKPbusp34dbcUvN_do3tQKNn7UPyDMgM

Iran: 

Biden will almost certainly drop the sanctions on Iran, rejoin the nuclear deal, and maybe even give them large amounts of money as they did before. And that means they can start on their nuclear armoury again.

Palestine: 

Trump ceased giving 'Aid' to Palestine, knowing how likely it was that it was being used to continue their attacks on Israel. Now it is very likely the payments will resume. 

https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/11/palestinians-eager-to-start-receiving-american-taxpayer-money-again-in-biden-administration?fbclid=IwAR0jiBS_yG6CWfm8pQTgsIKmITHG5sCo44HhBhcY8C5MLj94cjQtWz0Xv7s

Refugee Policy and the so-called 'Muslim Ban.' 

At the beginning of his presidency, Trump suspended entry of migrants from Syria, Somalia, and Yemen over terror risk. They called it a 'Muslim ban,' although it was never a ban on all Muslims, just those Muslim nations that had a record of producing terrorists.  

It is likely that Joe Biden will end that, although he has not actually said so. All the same, Al Jazeera had a headline that the US ‘Muslim ban’ set to end ‘on day one’ of Biden presidency.

Muslims in US want Biden to change refugee limits to allow more migrants into the country. It is likely he will comply. 

https://www.jihadwatch.org/2020/11/muslims-in-us-want-biden-to-change-refugee-limits-to-allow-more-migrants-into-the-country?fbclid=IwAR2dJfNqWFJY7VNRBE1NOO5ABp3F-Ae7cV3Y4660onV7xz2rgg3mfkHxVro

Illegal immigration:   Trump tried hard to reduce illegal immigration.  Biden and the Democrats have always criticised that policy, even though presidents before Trump had also tried to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants. 

'A source familiar with the Biden team’s planning said the incoming administration will withdraw from the three bilateral agreements Mr. Trump brokered with Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras that allow the U.S. to send rejected asylum-seekers to those countries and have them seek refuge there.'

Censorship: 

Free Speech:

Donald Trump has tried to force universities to enable free speech on their campuses.  He is a believer in free speech.  The left side of politics doesn't seem to believe in free speech at all. The whole notion of being 'politically correct' is an attack on free speech. 

Politically correct speech, along with the so-called 'Cancel Culture' invariably comes from the Left side of politics, the side of politics that likes to call itself 'progressive.'  One obvious example is the BLM movement, very much a Leftist notion. BLM ideas are behind the re-writing of history, the destruction of statues, the renaming of  brands and place names, and in general, the vilification of Western Civilisation.  Leftist notions try to make us ashamed of patriotism. 

During the election campaign,  and in the post election period, social media and mainstream media have been very much on the side of the Democrats.  For instance, there were emails that came to light that expose Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, (then Vice-President) as using that relationship to make money. The very strong implication was that Joe Biden was complicit.  But the emails were suppressed.  Biden profited from this censorship.

Biden has also profited from the way that social media is treating legitimate questions about electoral fraud.  At the least there is a 'fact checker' note attached saying the voter fraud is very rare.  Some people have had their accounts suspended or cancelled, even when the account belongs to someone in a responsible and important position.  Twitter,  Facebook and Google have been an important influence in this election and in the stifling of the doubts and queries about its honesty.  

The media proclaimed that Biden had won long before it was official, (It is not official even now, 24th November.)  The media stifles any attempt to say 'not yet.' 

Joe Biden is profiting from a biased media.  I do not think that Joe Biden is likely to stand up for free speech. 

https://reason.com/2020/01/17/joe-biden-wants-to-destroy-free-speech-on-social-media/?fbclid=IwAR3YCSCjmghQ32R7d-M0y5xb7fDHHpGhkHxn0VcZ3tNK_T20JZdJ_HDssaw

The above are the political implications of a change of presidency.

There are some personal implications as well, particularly, the possibility of some nasty repercussions from some VERY nasty people.

Biden said in his victory speech - 'We must stop treating our opponents as our enemies. We are not enemies, we are Americans.'  He preached unity and harmony and said that it was time to unite.  “This is the time to heal in America.”  

His words have gone unheeded. Anyone who dared to support Trump are subject to insults from all sorts of people,  both from ordinary people, and from those people who consider themselves important in the world, whether or not they are.

 *  Left-wing filmmaker Rob Reiner has made the wild accusation that the Republican party is “an accomplice to murder” and that the party is out of its “collective fucking mind.”

- Richard Marx (singer, apparently.)  'Donald Trump is sh*t and his worshipers the toilet paper.' 

- Donald Trump's son tested positive to Covid 19, and that resulted in a series of random insults from Hollywood celebrities, including Bette Midler, Jimmy Kimmel, Ron Perlman, and George Takei. Many of the nasty comments referred to him taking drugs - I guess Hollywood celebrities know all about taking drugs!

There are threats of future retaliation: 

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Kolyma) tweeted “Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? 

Later in the same article (link below) it said,  'Former Obama administration staffer Michael Simon said that he is gathering the names of anyone who supported Trump in the 2016 and 2020 election.' and 'In the future, these activists hope to use the gathered information to intimidate anyone from hiring a Trump supporter and to shame Republicans for utilizing their Constitutional right.'

A Biden campaign worker, tweeted:  “We’re launching the Trump Accountability Project to make sure anyone who took a paycheck to help Trump undermine America is held responsible for what they did.” 

Michelle Obama said: "Let’s remember that tens of millions of people voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division."  

   

Of course, a lot of people simply thought that that Trump's policies were better than that of the Democrats.  But Michelle Obama's statement -  that is the one that is hateful.

Jennifer Rubin, writer for the Washington Post. “It’s not only that Trump has to lose, but all his enablers have to lose. We have to collectively burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them. Because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again.”

Rosanna Arquette on Twitter. - “The Gop are Nazi gestapo they blindly follow their insane unhinged leader and commit crimes against humanity.”

A "Truth and Reconciliation Commission.'

On October 21st, Bill Clinton’s Labor Secretary Robert B.  Reich said, “When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”

Reich's opinions reek of totalitarianism - re-education camps, punishment for dissenters. Siberia anyone? 

What a disgrace you are, Mr. Reich.

Like the 'McCarthyism' of the 50s,  some anti-Trumpers want to destroy careers.

- Attacks on lawyers and other staff of the Trump administration.

The Australian, 16th November, 2020.  'Lawyers face criticism and threats, law students have pledged to not work for four law firms that have represented the Trump campaign, one law firm withdrew from representing them referring to "Leftist mobs' and other law firms decline the work because of possible repercussions.'  

-  There is a petition circulating at Harvard to stop former Trump administration officials from attending, teaching or speaking at the university

There has been violence against Trump supporters:

There was a protest 'Stop the Steal' or 'The Million Maga March' by Trump Supporters on March, 15th November, 2020.   'Hundreds of thousands' attended according to some reports, merely 'thousands' according to others.  

   

It was a very big march, but there was no property damage, no violence until most had gone home.  And then the Antifa and BLM thugs, the lowest, nastiest scum of the Biden supporters, started attacking the stragglers. There were vicious attacks, even on women and children.  There are pictures of screaming toddlers in strollers.  As far as I know, Joe Biden has not spoken to condemn these wicked attacks by those who purport to support him. 

Sky News, 16/11/2020

'Police were forced to intervene after a day of mostly peaceful protests in Washington DC became violent when Black Lives Matter and Antifa protesters crossed paths with Trump supporters on the main street leading to the White House.
Law enforcement officers blocked off streets in an effort to try and keep the two groups apart but were forced to protect a hotel where Trump fans were staying from anti-Trump activists.'

Rita Panahi, 17th November: "Absolutely disgraceful how little coverage there has been of the violent attacks against Trump supporters in DC after the weekend’s march. There’s footage of elderly people, women & children being attacked by Antifa & BLM thugs & yet the bulk of the media has ignored it."

Trump Supporter Attacked, Cut in Head Amid ‘Million MAGA March’ in DC

by Allen Zhing, November 14th, 2020   

https://www.theepochtimes.com/trump-supporter-attacked-cut-in-head-amid-million-maga-march-in-dc_3579067.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-11-14-3&fbclid=IwAR3cM04rck2VGO2w6sloo9RCUdIMwvNqIJWVQIQtj1rNP7V-VZk0glLOCqo








Threatening the family of  Republicans,  including their children 

This is the most disgraceful of all -  a threat to children. It apparently succeeded.  There is no mention in the article of any punishment of the perpetrator of this action.

What happened is that the Wayne County Board of Canvassers (Michigan) voted 2-2 to deny certification of the Nov. 3 election votes because of 'ballot discrepancies' in Detroit.  Monica Palmer stated that she was open to certifying everywhere but Detroit. 

But then her children were threatened by Abraham Aiyash, the one who stood to gain his position once the vote was certified.  

'The Democratic Michigan State Representative-elect, Abraham Aiyash,  doxxed the chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on a public Zoom meeting on Tuesday, revealing where her children attend school and claiming that she was enabling racism by refusing to certify the Wayne County Election.'    (By Jordan Davidson,  The Federalist, November 18, 2020) 

Shortly afterwards, both Republican board members changed their votes to certify the election. Aiyash has his way, even though they both later rescinded their certifying votes, citing bullying.   The last I heard of it, the rescission was not permitted, and so the winner was certified, even when the 'irregularities' included oddities like more votes than voters. 

Aiyash succeeded in his aim by threatening children.  Who would want a representative like that?  

//gellerreport.com/2020/11/michigan-democrat-doxxes-children-of-wayne-county-election-official.html/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

More details of the dubious voting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMDtOtGFrYg&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3ls9mWWEQDiObgotlU9lO-UI44hp-XRGRtMw52KlEzzgjeLZRtaErTXdw

--------------------------------------

Those lawyers who are trying to represent Republicans and throwing doubt on the honesty of the election are being threatened. 

'According to civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon, lawyers representing Republicans have received death threats and been "doxxed" by people opposing the Trump-Pence campaign's ability to lawfully challenge contentious election results.' 

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16773/trump-lawyers-cancel-culture?fbclid=IwAR2FZXWnGqXh_lhTCU7tbwYhSIkX9yrmyKwDOs69IHXmiVIv_xTXynBHwUA

This is Sidney Powell,  who has become the face of the law team seeking to prove massive election fraud, sufficient to change the apparent result.  I am hoping that she survives with her reputation intact and she and her family still safe.  Once, we would never have expected anything else, but times have changed. 

As at 24th November, the election is not yet decided, although we are constantly told by social media and conventional media that Joe Biden is the 'projected' winner of the 2020 presidential election.  We are also being told that Trump is being 'defiant' by not yet conceding, and by not yet allowing Biden access to briefings.  

Emily Murphy is the administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA),  in charge of organising the transition.  She states that she had received threats from those attempting to coerce her into approving the presidential transition of Joe Biden “prematurely.”

Trump has tweeted - 'I want to thank Emily Murphy at GSA for her steadfast dedication and loyalty to our Country. She has been harassed, threatened, and abused – and I do not want to see this happen to her, her family, or employees of GSA.'  

And so he encouraged her to allow the transition to begin, although firmly stating that is not an indication of his surrender. 

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/11/23/gsa-chief-emily-murphy-details-threats-to-her-life-family-pets/?fbclid=IwAR1rb3xPbhmpDl1yTIem4HnGBlzpAZyQThW1639D0BmH5j0cIqu4OdpxfuQ

So again, nasty threats have been used and were successful. It is not a good omen for the incoming administration.  It is not exactly in the spirit of Biden's slightly premature victory speech.  

"It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again. And to make progress we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies."

"This is the time to heal in America."

Fair elections must be seen to be fair.

 Many people are calling the 2020 American Presidential election a 'stolen election.'  There is reason for this.  There are numerous specific allegations of cheating in several different ways.  The fact that the Republicans did well in both the Upper and Lower houses of Parliament while the Republican president, Donald Trump, apparently lost soundly to Joe Biden, is an anomaly. It does imply something wrong.

Now it is, of course, perfectly possible that there was little enough cheating that it made no difference to the result. But the fairness of the election is not the only concern. It must be seen to be fair. A democracy does not work if the loser does not concede to the decision of the majority.

The Democratic Party never became resigned to Trump's election in 2016, and put as many obstacles in his path as they could manage, even fabricating evidence to have a lengthy and expensive inquiry into trying to show 'Russian Collusion' in his election campaign. When that finally failed, they impeached him instead, purportedly because he put pressure on the Ukraine, but really because they simply hated the man. 

The self-styled 'elite',  along with the big majority of mainstream media, also hated the man.  His comments were repeatedly scrutinized for anything that could be twisted into something either stupid or wicked in order to attack him. An example is that he advised 'injecting bleach.'  He never said anything like that, of course, but I have heard it several times repeated as fact, even on what are supposed to be serious news stations.  Most people listen to what is reported, but when it is anything to do with Trump, one needs to go to see what he actually said, and not pay attention to what it is said that he said. The reporting on him is that bad. That biased. 

With all of that negative coverage, otherwise sensible people have also begun to think of him as an utterly awful person. Many are so convinced that they think that anyone who does not condemn him out of hand must also be utterly awful people. Friendships, even families, have broken up over the issue.  The whole of the media, virtually every film star and pop star, the whole of the Democratic Party and even some of the Republican Party think him an entirely awful person. 

He is constantly mocked and derided.  

The Trump blimp

And this is why many of those vote counters and those in charge may have thought it a good thing to do when they manipulated totals - they thought that Trump was so bad that whatever they did to get rid of him was justified. 

Various ways that the election may have been rigged.  

Discarded votes and votes not counted; 

I have seen several f/b posts that assert that they were denied the opportunity to vote because they were supposed to have already voted. Two of my own f/b contacts have stated that they voted in person, on the day, but when they checked (an online site) their votes were never registered. This might mean nothing, or it might mean that their votes were never counted.

There have been votes found discarded.

There was an account from a woman that she was seen to be a Republican voter, left to vote in a separate room, and her completed ballot put separately.  

There was a vote counter who asserted that she simply put votes for Trump straight in the bin.  (It may have been a joke, of course.)

A software glitch

What is said to have been a 'software glitch' meant that thousands of ballots that were meant for Republican candidates were added to the Democrat total. 

When discovered, that county found the lead had swung from Biden to Trump.  It was corrected in that state, but many other counties use that same software.

Backdating ballots so they can be counted as legal votes. 

If a ballot does not arrive by cut off time, it is not a legal vote. Whistle blowers have claimed, at least one on oath, that they were instructed to stamp the ballots with 'yesterday's date.'

Late arrivals of large bundles of votes that were 100% for Biden

There have been several accounts of large boxes of ballots arriving in the dead of night. Like all of the above, it is hard to know how much truth there are in these accounts.

This, for instance. John Daniel Davidson, 4th November, 2020 -   ´Then, something strange happened in the dead of the night. In both Michigan and Wisconsin, vote dumps early Wednesday morning showed 100 percent of the votes going for Biden and zero percent—that’s zero, so not even one vote—for Trump.

And this - Attorney Sidney Powell says: "We’ve Identified 450,000 Ballots That Miraculously Only Have a Vote For Joe Biden”

Dead People voting:

It is rather a classic, this one.  On checking, certain voters were found to be no longer living.  One 'voter' would have been 170 years old.  Now that was a record!  
'Fact-checkers' assert that there was only one instance of this found, and that it was simply the result of a typo.  Others say there have been hundreds, but nearly always, hundreds is not enough to change an election result. Compared to other possible fraud, dead people voting is probably not a big issue.  (Luckily, they never vote in person.)  

Breitbart. 5 Nov 2020:

'There are at least 21,000 dead people on the state of Pennsylvania’s voter rolls,  according to an amended lawsuit filed on Thursday.' 

All of these accusations are resulting in recounts, investigations and law suits.  The election has not been officially decided, even though media outlets  have nearly all 'called' it

The Trump campaign is filing lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia and probably two other states.  I have assigned further information on the investigations to a postscript since I deem them quite unlikely to succeed in overturning the result. 

BUT:  

The election may have been subject to fraud and cheating generally. It is certain that some cheating occurred.  Whether it was enough to change the result, we will probably never know. 

Without waiting for results of recounts and investigations and various law suits, the various media outlets have announced that Joe Biden has won the presidency.  Biden has claimed victory, people are celebrating in the streets, and certain particularly nasty people are even speculating on how to 'punish' Trump supporters.  World leaders are congratulating him, although some are holding off, pointing out that the election has not yet been finalised. 

Biden is being referred to as 'The President-Elect,' and Kamala Harris is being referred to as 'the Vice-President Elect.' 

Even though it is early days, they are acting as if it was concluded, and that Trump is acting like a silly toddler not immediately conceding defeat. 

Kamala Harris, Joe Biden

Celebrating the defeat of Trump.

A lot of people are totally thrilled with the result as announced by the media, and have ignored the 'projected' part of 'Biden projected to win,' especially as the headlines screamed merely,  'Joe Biden wins the presidency,'  and similar. 

Random f/b posts. 

'We are thrilled, Mr. President! This is an amazing feeling for so many people!'
'Thank YOU Joe!!!!!!! We love you and are so happy to have a true leader back in the White House!!!'
'Congrats, my president!!! I am so happy for you and Kamala! You guys deserve this! I've been crying tears of joy all morning.' 
'Congratulations, Joe and Kamala! You have restored hope, decency, and the soul of America and the world.' 

Their implication is that Trump was not 'a true leader' and that hope and decency has been absent under him.  Even Biden said that he would 'restore the soul of America.'   He is now calling for unity,  not apparently noticing that some of the Democrat Party are instead calling for revenge against those who have ever dared to support Trump. 

 If this election was stolen, then as far as I can see,  the steal has been successful.

It would create so much rioting to try and convince people that Biden did not win that I do not believe that any such attempt will be made.  It is said that the first thing that anyone does when attempting a coup is to take over the media and convince the population that it is complete and that there is no use in arguing.  In this case, the bulk of the media has always been on the side of the Democrats.  Fair or not, Biden has won. 

What Trump said: 

President Trump released a statement Friday about the election - https://fxn.ws/3530VbB

“We believe the American people deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification, and that this is no longer about any single election. This is about the integrity of our entire election process. From the beginning we have said that all legal ballots must be counted and all illegal ballots should not be counted, yet we’ve met resistance for this basic principle by Democrats at every turn. We will pursue this process through every aspect of the law to guarantee the American people have confidence in our government.”


.

Whether he lost the election fairly or not, Donald Trump is still president until the January Inauguration of Joe Biden. Until then, he still has a president's power. 

He could wait a little longer until certain recounts are done and investigations concluded (or thrown out as the case may be)  but he is going to have to concede in order to avoid the enormous damage that a turnaround would cause if made now.  The Trump supporters don't seem to be causing any problems with looting and violence to indicate their displeasure,  but Biden supporters such as BLM and Antifa are quite capable of violence to almost the level of Civil war, especially in the big Democrat run cities where they've been given far too much tolerance in the past few years.


All that Trump can do now is his utmost to ensure that future elections are not only fair, but seen to be fair.

It seems to me that America does its politics very badly.  I have gathered that most voters are registered as either Democrat voters or Republican. It is not compulsory, but if you are not registered with a party, you cannot vote in what they call their 'Primaries,' ie, the votes that decides who will represent the party.  (You can also register as Independent or other party.)  

But if you are registered, you are labelled, and that increases the divisions. A secret ballot is the ideal, but generally, America doesn't seem to think that important. It may be becoming more different in the last few years, though, as Trump and Trump supporters have been so uniformly vilified that it has given rise to the phenomenon they call  'the shy Trump voter.' That is, those who like his policies, fully intend to vote for him, but have met with such hostility if they venture to say so, that they keep quiet about it.  

Elections need to be seen to be fair, and that means that avenues for cheating must be reduced.

1. Election rules should be consistent across states and counties. They should not be changed at the whim of current governors.  
2. Only those who are eligible should be on the electoral roll.
3. ID should absolutely be required, and every absentee vote properly verified. 
4. Cutoff for voting should be absolute.
5. Investigations into possible fraud should be thorough and punishments severe.

If Trump can manage to influence future elections to be both fair, and seen to be fair, it will be a worthwhile last achievement before he steps down.

Postscript:  The various investigations into the allegations of fraudulent voting or counting 


Brietbart, Joshua Caplan, 5th November, 2020

“Our lawyers just sent a criminal referral to AG Barr regarding at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud,” the Nevada GOP’s official account wrote on Twitter. “We expect that number to grow substantially. Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV.”

Speaker Vos Directs Assembly Committee to Utilize its Powers to Review Statewide Election

Wisconsin.gov, November 6, 2020

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement about his request to the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections and its chair, Representative Ron Tusler (R-Harrison).

“I am directing the committee to use its investigatory powers under Wisconsin SS 13.31 to immediately review how the election was administered. With concerns surfacing about mail-In ballot dumps and voter fraud, Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their vote counted. There should be no question as to whether the vote was fair and legitimate, and there must be absolute certainty that the impending recount finds any and all irregularities.

Michigan

By: Elizabeth Vaughn, Bongino, November 9, 2020

The Detroit Free Press reported that the Michigan state legislature held a joint hearing of the House and Senate Oversight committees on Saturday. State lawmakers “issued a subpoena to state election officials…requesting documents related to Michigan’s election process.” They will be investigating “possible election irregularities.”
