"Liberal media figures and outlets are suggesting that Joe Biden should take an aggressive approach to conservative media when he becomes president of the United States.

"'There is no question that Democrats are gearing up to use their new power to apply far more pressure than ever on Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. to censor any views they deem "threatening,"' journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted Monday, referencing comments made by former President Barack Obama about controlling the internet with 'a combination of government regulations and corporate practices.'

"'Please look at what is going here,' Greenwald continued. 'Democrats are defining whoever opposes them not as adversaries but as national security threats, fascist terrorists, etc. -- all to justify blocking them from the internet using their influence with Silicon Valley.'

"The Intercept co-founder added that CNN, NBC, and The Atlantic are the outlets that are 'most loudly' demanding that 'disinformation' be suppressed, though these outlets are 'the ones who not only sold the bullshit of the Iraq War but also the last 4 years of deranged Russia-took-over! conspiratorial insanity.'

"'They want their discourse monopoly back,' Greenwald said."

"A cancer charity started by Joe Biden gave out no money to research, and spent most of its contributions on staff salaries, federal filings show.

"The Biden Cancer Initiative was founded in 2017 by the former vice president and his wife Jill Biden to 'develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,' according to its IRS mission statement. But it gave out no grants in its first two years, and spent millions on the salaries of former Washington DC aides it hired.

"The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group's president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019), according to the charity's most recent federal tax filings."

"A lawsuit filed Nov. 8 in Michigan alleges that Detroit, Mich. elections officials oversaw and openly encouraged election fraud totaling many 'tens of thousands' of fraudulent ballots, plus other illegal election-tampering.

"The complaint filed by an in-state conservative nonprofit legal group alleges numerous instances of illegal and suspicious activity in the Democrat stronghold encompassing Detroit, Wayne County. President Trump's legal team has filed a separate lawsuit alleging additional voting crimes and irregularities in the county. ...

"The Great Lakes Justice Center complaint provides 'eyewitness accounts and direct evidence' that 'approximately 40,000' unsecured, irregular ballots arrived in vehicles with out-of-state license plates at Detroit's only vote-counting location, TCF Center, in the wee hours of the Nov. 4 morning during a shift change in election workers. Eyewitnesses signed affidavits saying that every one of this group of 40,000 ballots they saw 'was counted orally and attributed only to Democratic candidates,' specifically Joe Biden.

"Other eyewitnesses signed affidavits under penalty of perjury stating they saw multiple other piles of ballots, together additionally numbering in the tens of thousands, that were counted despite violating election law, sometimes at the direction of local election officials. This allegedly happened both before the election, during early voting, and during the election and subsequent vote count."

"The left's paranoia is peaking over the green light Attorney General Bill Barr gave the Department of Justice to look into any credible and 'substantial allegations' of voting irregularities.

"Barr 'decided to be Donald Trump's personal lawyer,' Rep. Adam Schiff sniffs. The AG is 'seeding doubts about the legitimacy of the election,' whines Rep. Jerry Nadler. This would be 'a good time to impeach' Barr, huffs The Nation's John Nichols.

"Please. Barr's move was narrow, allowing his staff to review only substantial, 'clear and apparently credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome' in an individual state.

"'Specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries,' he said -- and his memo didn't mean the feds have found any such irregularities. ...

"No, Barr did nothing untoward. Indeed, if voters are to have faith in the system, credible allegations of irregularities ought to be probed -- and if unfounded, dismissed."

"Smug and arrogant as ever, McCabe appeared Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee and brushed aside all the evidence of the FBI's abuse of power under his watch. He dismissed it as mere mistakes, not malevolence. To hear him tell it, the FBI is guilty only of monumental incompetence -- as if that's a benediction.

"McCabe said he was 'shocked' by the 'significant number of errors and failures related to the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] applications' to spy on Carter Page, a former adviser on candidate Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. His claim was reminiscent of Captain Renault in the film 'Casablanca,' who pretended to be 'shocked, shocked' at the gambling in Rick's Cafe as he pocketed his winnings.

"Like Renault, McCabe was a key participant in corruption, in his case at the FBI. He presided over every decision in the bureau's misbegotten investigation of Trump and his campaign."

"The core principle here is not complicated. In the United States of America, all legal ballots must be counted; any illegal ballots must not be; the process should be transparent or observable by all sides, and the courts are here to work through concerns. ...

"If any major irregularities occurred this time, of a magnitude that would affect the outcome, then every single American should want them to be brought to light. And if Democrats feel confident they have not occurred, they should have no reason to fear any extra scrutiny.

"And notably, the Constitution gives no role in this process to wealthy media corporations. The projections and commentary of the press do not get veto power over the legal rights of any citizen, including the president.

"More broadly, let's have no lectures about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election. And who insinuated this one would be illegitimate, too, if they lost again. ...

"Suffice to say, a few legal inquiries from the president do not exactly spell the end of the republic. This process will reach its resolution. Our system will resolve any recounts or litigation. In January, the winner of this election will place his hand on a Bible. Just like it's happened every four years since 1793."

"It probably did not help the Dems' cause in Georgia that Schumer was out Saturday saying that if they win the Georgia seats, they will 'change America.' Georgia voters may have acted to change the occupant of the White House, but it's doubtful they wish to 'change America.' ...

"A tough two months of runoff campaigning lie ahead. But the likely outcome in Georgia is that the incoming Biden administration will take office with no mandate and seeing its candidates repudiated in Georgia just before the president takes office on January 20. Even Chuck Schumer would recognize that's not a platform from which to 'change America.'"

"At least 13 female Republican candidates have been declared winners this week in their House races -- including the holster-wearing Colorado business woman who scrapped to keep open her pub amid strict coronavirus rules. ...

"As many as 33 Republican female candidates could win House seats after vote counting is concluded, according to at least one news account. Win totals so far this week already double the number of female GOP House members now serving."

"Maybe Nancy Pelosi isn't the best leader to have in the House, and maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't the best person to be the party's rising star, and maybe Chuck Schumer is not all that great as a Senate minority leader. ...

"Maybe the craziest thought of all is that perhaps Democratic officeholders and candidates should interact with people who disagree with them, listen to their arguments and how they see the world, and see if they've had some wrong preconceived notions about the . . . er, deplorability of their political opponents."

"Political polling is a fraud. It claims to measure something that, it is now unmistakably clear, cannot be accurately measured. Polling's seductive promise is that it will take the guesswork out of understanding a complex and changing set of circumstances and replace that uncertainly with something that looks like science. ...

"We should have known better than to listen. But we were lulled by the terminology devised by the lousy writers who control the nonsense language of social science -- by the '95 percent confidence intervals' and the 'margin of error' and 'non-response bias.'

"This is the kind of argle-bargle phrenologists must have used to dazzle 19th century smart people into believing you could make important determinations about a person's character from the bumps on his skull.

"Why does this matter? Because polling is not only bad for the chattering classes, it's bad for the country. It is used as a form of psychological warfare. It comforts and strengthens those whose priors are confirmed by the numbers and it depresses and paralyzes those who support candidates or policies the polling says is wrong."
