Article in the London "Times" says the last U.S. election was rigged
“So Trump was right.” Thus begins a broadside in the Sunday Times that amounts to a clarion call for the world: America’s president came to power in an election that was “rigged.”
“The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit,” Rob Liddle writes. “Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls. Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge.”
“Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister: that the last presidential election was a fraud, rigged by big business, the labour unions and, more than anything, the media and the tech companies,” he continues. “If that election had taken place in any other country, it would have been called ‘unfree’. And, as more and more evidence emerges, it terrifies me that the same thing could happen here.”
“The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” a bombshell Time article released just days before the Senate impeachment trial, appears to have provided some of the best evidence that the election was “fortified” by a shadowy cabal that included giant corporations, big tech giants, and powerful labor unions.
“What we didn’t know until we were told in February this year, courtesy of Time magazine, was that there actually was a conspiracy — a secret coalition of chief executives, labour unions, left-wing pressure groups and media companies — to manage what information was available to the voting public,” Liddle went on. “Its aim, as The Wall Street Journal put it, was to ‘suppress unwanted elements of US political conversation’. What a wonderful phrase.”
“Time magazine reported this as if the cabal — it called the arrangement a cabal — had been acting heroically,” he added. “To save the US public from making the same mistake again and electing that Brobdingnagian boor — and to do so by suppressing stories favourable to him.”
The Times writer also references a disturbing betrayal by Trump’s Joint Chief of Staff at the time that should be sending off alarm bells from sea to shining sea.
“Now we discover that General Mark Milley, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, was also conspiring against the president,” Liddle writes. “Twice Milley called Chinese diplomats to let them know that he would countermand any order from Trump to attack China — which seems to a lot of US conservatives to be an act of pure treason. Milley also went behind his president’s back to connive with the Democrat leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi.”
“The reasoning for this was that Trump was ‘unhinged’ — a familiar notion peddled by the media for the four years of his presidency,” he continues. “Was he? I don’t know. He didn’t seem terribly hinged to me, but then Americans rarely do. But more unhinged than your average American — or Joe Biden?”
“Whatever the case, that election one year ago was plainly rigged,” he argues. “Not by fraudulent postal votes. But by an affluent elite conspiring, brutally at times, to ensure that the American public heard only one side of the story.”
The last part is arguable, particularly in light of evidence that has arisen from the Georgia and Arizona audits. Regardless, the author concludes his argument by noting that “liberals” appear to be oblivious to this insidious threat to “democracy” posted by giant corporations, unions, and big tech colluding to oppose candidates that threaten their stranglehold on power.
“What worries me most is that so few liberal commentators seem capable of understanding that this was a grotesque manipulation of democracy,” he argues. “And yet surely they must see it, no matter how appalling Trump seemed to them (and indeed, quite often, to me). Instead, those very acts that subverted democracy are depicted as valorous.”
“The author of that article in Time said the conspirators ‘we’re not rigging the election; they were fortifying it’,” he concludes. “Wow. Isn’t that a little chilling? And are you looking forward to a ‘fortified’ general election over here?”
Indeed. The way all of Western Civilization is heading, “rigged” elections may soon become the norm. Americans and their brethren in once-free nations around the world may someday look back at the halcyon days when they were able to pick their own leaders as nothing more than a distant memory in an eclipsed golden age.
Grandfathers, grandchildren astride their knees, will explain to them about why they did nothing. “It all started with Trump…”

Biden lies about the advice he received about the Afghanistan retreat
John Stossel
Just 12 days ago, I detailed how Joe Biden was caught in one of the biggest, most consequential lies in modern presidential history.
Now, this isn't an "I did not have sexual relations" kind of lie designed to cover up an embarrassing Oval Office sexcapade. And it isn't a "biggest presidential inauguration audience in history" kind of lie designed to boost an ego against a negative media cycle. It isn't even an "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" kind of lie designed to jam your legislation through with a damnable broken promise.
This lie was in the midst of an ongoing military mission that resulted in the careless and unnecessary murder of 13 servicemembers thrust into harm's way by an incompetent president without full use of his faculties and without serious advisors who recognize his dangerously diminished capabilities but refuse to step in and do anything about it.
As a reminder, in mid-August, as the Taliban took over the last parts of Kabul and terrified Afghans trampled over American citizens as they desperately hurled themselves onto the fuselage of an Air Force jet ending in their eventual plummet back to earth, Joe Biden decided his main problem was a PR challenge that would be cured with some damage control with former Clinton Advisor George Stephanopoulos on ABC News.
Knowing that literally nothing in Biden's feckless career gave him anything close to wisdom or expertise when it comes to military strategic planning, Stephanopolous asked the obvious question: Who in the hell advised you on this nightmare in Afghanistan, and why didn't you listen to the experts?
Here's the key exchange.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But your top military advisors warned against withdrawing on this timeline. They wanted you to keep about 2,500 troops.
BIDEN: No, they didn't. It was split. Tha-- that wasn't true. That wasn't true.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They didn't tell you that they wanted troops to stay?
BIDEN: No. Not at -- not in terms of whether we were going to get out in a timeframe all troops. They didn't argue against that.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no one told -- your military advisors did not tell you, "No, we should just keep 2,500 troops. It's been a stable situation for the last several years. We can do that. We can continue to do that"?
BIDEN: No. No one said that to me that I can recall.
Today, under oath, before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Mark Milley and Gen. Kenneth McKenzie swore that they had, in fact, advised Biden to keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan to avoid exactly what occurred.
Once again, as a reminder, when directly asked about that very specific thing, Biden told Stephanopoulos, "No. No one said that to me that I can recall."
Someone is lying.
The White House's professional liar Jen Psaki issued this statement as she saw the trap her boss was in.
When you purposely omit the fact that when asked specifically about the 2,500 troops, the president said, "No. No one said that to me," it seems pretty clear that you're not on the side of the truth.
Here are the options before you, fellow American:
Either both Generals Milley and McKenzie are lying in classic Pentagon CYA fashion and they never advised Biden about the troops and the danger of his withdrawal plan.
Or, Biden is lying (and continues to lie through his spokesliar) and is more than willing to throw his military advisors under the bus to save his pathetic political skin.
Or, President Joe Biden has no idea what is going on, can't remember the advice he was given, and, quite possibly, doesn't remember what he had for lunch today.
As entertaining (and terrifying) as that last option may be, I suspect it's option number two. Biden is lying. He will say anything he needs to say and sacrifice anyone in Washington, DC, who stands in the way of his corrupt, craven political ambition.
This is the hallmark of his entire 50-year career.
He was willing to ruin the reputations of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.
He was willing to plagiarize other politicians' speeches and lie about his academic career.
He was willing to sidle up to segregationists in the Senate so he could be groomed for more powerful senate responsibilities.
He was willing to lie about his "good friend" and "brother" John McCain when he campaigned for vice president.
He was willing to claim Mitt Romney wanted to put African-Americans "back in chains" when he desperately campaigned for re-election.
This is who he has always been.
And this latest lie ended with the blood of those 13 American troops spilled in the Kabul streets on his way out of Afghanistan.
"No. No one said that to me." Is there anyone... anyone who believes this crap?

************************************************UK: No, I am not a person who has a womb. I am a woman
By SARAH VINE
Defending his assertion that 'it's not right' to claim that only a woman can have a cervix, Sir Keir Starmer said that transgender people were among the most 'marginalised and abused'.
He also said there needs to be 'a mature, respectful debate about trans rights', which is, of course, absolutely true. So let's have one.
Except we can't, can we? As we have seen from countless Twitter pile-ons and cancellation attempts, there is no such thing as a mature debate around the complex issues of gender identity, for the simple reason that many campaigners refuse to countenance any 'truth' other than their own — all, of course, in the name of tolerance.
The second anyone — be it J.K. Rowling or Labour's own Rosie Duffield MP (whose comments about only women having cervixes were the reason Starmer was asked about it) — says anything that deviates even slightly from the accepted 'sunshine and rainbows' narrative, all hell breaks loose.

It's remarkable how much power this apparently powerless community actually wields: across social media, in schools and universities, in our institutions and policies. With the possible exception of the climate change lobby, I'd say there are now few causes that hold more sway, culturally or politically.
To me, that's not marginalisation and abuse; that is, as they say in the corridors of Whitehall, 'uber cut-through'. Indeed, the issue certainly had cut-through at the Labour conference, far more so than any actual policies.
Such was the prominence of the question, you'd be forgiven for thinking that there was no greater problem facing the nation.
The spectacle of Labour bigwigs, with or without cervixes, trying to dodge the question was excruciating. On one hand they knew the answer, and knew what the majority of Labour voters think; on the other, they lacked the courage to respond with honesty and candour, for fear of ending up like Ms Duffield and being run out of town.
It's remarkable how much power this apparently powerless community actually wields: across social media, in schools and universities, in our institutions and policies. If anyone - be it JK Rowling - deviates from the narrative, all hell breaks loose +6

Thank goodness for Health Secretary Sajid Javid, who at least has the balls to say what he believes. A 'total denial of scientific fact' he called Starmer's comments, for which he has been roundly criticised, not least because his view apparently contradicts NHS advice on screening, which says 'trans men who still have a cervix should have cervical screening to help prevent cervical cancer'.
But what he said is right. Trans men who still have a cervix remain, at least in that one biological respect, female. That is a scientific fact.
He also contradicts the sentiment printed on the front cover of the latest issue of medical journal The Lancet. Trailing an article about menstruation, the term 'bodies with vaginas' was used in lieu of the word 'women', leading a number of respected academics to call it 'insulting and abusive'.
Editor Richard Horton has apologised for conveying the impression that 'we have de-humanised and marginalised women'.
And that, really, goes to the heart of this whole debate. In striving to help one group, we have somehow ended up diminishing the rights and identities of another, much larger group, that is to say women.
It now feels as though not only are our safe spaces being eroded, but also our fundamental right to exist. I wouldn't for one second deny that trans people have suffered disproportionately and unfairly from discrimination and abuse. Nor would I want them to live anything other than happy, healthy, fulfilled lives.
But what I and a lot of others simply can't understand is why this needs to happen at the expense of women's identities.
Whoever you are and whatever you want to be, that's up to you. I would never judge anyone. But I am, and want to continue to be called, a woman. Not a person with a womb or any of the many other absurd and reductive euphemisms used to deny females their identity.
Is that really such a problem?

*************************************************France cuts back visas for North African nationals over immigration policy
France will slash the number of visas available to nationals from Maghreb countries because of their governments' refusal to take back illegal migrants sent home by the French authorities, government spokesman Gabriel Attal said on Tuesday.

Immigration is becoming a key campaign issue for the French presidential election set for April next year, with right-wing and far-right parties challenging centrist President Emmanuel Macron's policies. Macron has not yet said whether he will stand for re-election.
Attal said the French government would halve the number of visas available to nationals from Algeria and Morocco and reduce those for Tunisians by almost a third.
"It is a decision that is made necessary as these countries do not accept back nationals whom we do not want and cannot keep in France," he told French Europe 1 radio.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said on Monday she would call a referendum proposing drastic limits on immigration if she is elected president next year.
Le Pen said on France 2 television the referendum would propose strict criteria for entering French territory and for acquiring French nationality, as well as giving French citizens priority access to social housing, jobs and social security benefits.
In 2017, she made it to the second round of the presidential election, but was defeated by Macron, who won more than 66% of the vote.
