The media circus that overwhelmed the presidential election came full circle when the media proclaimed that Democrat Joe Biden had been elected on Friday.

Biden even gave his valedictory remarks Friday and Saturday evenings on network television.

We didn’t bother to watch because we don’t think the media can decide elections.

President Trump has announced lawsuits in a number of battleground states where election-day voters gave him the advantage by the hundreds of thousands of votes, then the “mail-in votes” suddenly turned his lead into purported deficits.

As Rudy Giuliani, a member of President Trump’s legal team who has filed federal lawsuits claiming fraud, says: “Networks don’t decide courts do.”

Note the Electoral College won’t act until Dec. 14 to announce the winner.

That will give the courts time to determine the facts.

As one of our favorite philosophers, Yogi Berra, once observed: It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”

Confidence in the federal government has never been lower for a large segment of America’s people.

And it’s not because Donald Trump is president.

The shenanigans pulled by the left in attempting to steal this presidency is fraudulent beyond anything that has been tried to date to destroy the United States of America.

The reason for the obvious hijacking of an election is obvious.

The left worked for years to take over the United States. The dark forces thought they had accomplished their goal in 2016 when the fraudulent pollsters loudly proclaimed that Democrat Hillary Clinton would win a landslide victory. They figured that if they pushed their agenda loudly and long enough, the common folks who still believed in “America, the Beautiful” would curl up and quit.

It didn’t happen and Donald Trump became president, deflating their egos and destroying their plans.

That didn’t stop them, however. They went to work trying to remove him from office with first one coup attempt, then another.

Then they couldn’t make their allegations stick because they were all false, which thorough investigations proved time after time.

Frustrated beyond belief. Why was it that normal citizens didn’t hate the president as much as they did, they wondered.

Undeterred by their four years of failure the leftist cabal decided to fine tune their media propaganda plan and used an international disease provided by Communist China to defeat President Trump’s campaign for a second term.

The Chinese coronavirus, sometimes called the Wu-flu because it originated in a biological installation in China’s Wuhan province, came along and the left jumped on it, thinking if they were ever to overthrow the government, this was their last shot with a second Trump term definitely killing their chances. First, they blamed President Trump for the pandemic, and then they devised a plan - announced in advance - whereby states could mail out ballots without a request for the ballot.

A number of states, mostly led by left-wing administrations lined up to do that.

But they did it wrong.

The constitution directs that state legislatures devise election systems, not a governor, secretary of state or other state official as was done to instigate the vote by mail fraud.

Numerous examples have been aired showing how those ballots could be collected from abandoned homes, for example, be filled out the way the collectors wanted, returned and get them counted like legal votes.

Cases have been exposed showing that ballots went to dead people and even pets.

Undoubtedly, many illegal aliens received such ballots.

(Another goal of the left, yet to be attempted, is to authorize 20,000 illegal aliens to vote, making America a one-party nation for the foreseeable future.)

No one can say how many illegally voted ballots were counted but examples in Georgia and Pennsylvania where President Trump saw leads in the hundreds of thousands on election day disappear in the ensuing night and day as the mail-in ballots were counted clearly indicate many were.

Postal voting became an option in 33 states.

Even then, the “blue wave” projected by the pollsters failed.

That set the stage for the current tight presidential election, which is now being fought in the courts.

It is saddening that the federal government has become so corrupt.

Our older brother, Ken, recalls as a young boy going to the post office with our grandfather, an early-day homesteader in Greer County, Texas, - later to become part of Oklahoma - to pay his federal taxes. That’s where taxes were paid at that time.

The postmaster said, “Mr. Reid, you don’t have to pay the entire amount now,” Ken recalls.

Then he relates that Grampa, straightened himself as tall as possible and said. “I’m proud to pay my taxes to my government.”

That’s how people felt when their government was honest.

How many people feel that way now?

Here are a few examples about how voting fraud occurred:

“Laurie Aguilera says her polling place gave her a Sharpie marker to fill out herb allot on Election Day in Maricopa County, Arizona, despite what her lawyers call state guidelines directing that “felt-tip writing utensils not be used.”

“Ink ended up bleeding through Aguilera’s ballot and election officials would not accept it. The Public Interest Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on her behalf, “requesting restoration of ballots for voters who were told to fill out their ballots using Sharpie markers but subsequently had those ballots canceled.

In one legal battle, Republicans are arguing a state court must halt Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and her agents from contacting voters who submitted invalid absentee ballots, allowing them to be “cured” by filling out a provisional ballot, The Washington Times reported. - Freepressers.com

Republicans say the move is illegal under Pennsylvania election laws.

On Thursday, Project Veritas posted a video on Twitter showing a Nevada USPS worker appearing to help provide bogus ballots to help Democrat Joe Biden. This follows their Wednesday video where a Michigan USPS whistleblower says he was told to illegallybackdate (postmarked) ballots so they could be counted. -The Lid blog.

“This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final. Georgia is headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where President Trump will ultimately prevail. There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations. We prevailed in court on our challenge, but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law. In Nevada, there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots,” Trump 2020 campaign general counsel Matt Morgan released in a statement Friday.
