So what extra measures will be taken? Will observers be banned? Will people be allowed to question or dispute election results? Will Washington DC be condoned off from the public for the day? This can mean whatever the Democrats in charge want it to.

The real evil is upstream. Where the bogus counts (as in Ga. 12000, Wi. 20000 and Az 11000) are prepared and the entire election of 158 million votes swings on 43000 bogus ballots. That is a matter of national life and death.

It's not the electoral vote that matters, dumb arse. It's the actual votes in every state. Certifying the electoral votes, while important constitutionally, is a little late in terms of widespread fraud. But then you knew this already - didn't you? Today's action is just to whitewash the process - I get it.

Secret Service announcement? So, counter-sniper teams positioned in the gallery in Congress, pointing their rifles at the congressmen as they ... ahem ... approve the electors who would elect the next President? Secret Service decked out in full SWAT regalia standing next to each congressman who would report a Trump result in their state? And just before they would report that, they hear a subtle "snick click"? This is being put in place to set up intimidation of Congress by the Secret Service. The Speaker of the House should remind Mr. Majorkas that Congress is a separate branch of government and does not take orders or direction from the Secret Service, thank you very much.

This is the only country in the world that election day is about two months old, you can vote any way you want, results are not published at the close of voting "day", and it takes three months to certify the winner. During the period of "transition", they do so much damage is hard to swallow. It should be like in the UK. You win today and you are seated tomorrow. End of story. No wonder we are so screwed and the laughing stock of the world.

Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized Friday for a lengthy response about her "middle-class" upbringing that spoke about people's pride in their lawns but did little to address a question about her economic policies. In her first solo sit-down TV interview since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Harris was asked by Philadelphia's 6 ABC anchor Brian Taff about what "specific" plans she has to bring down prices for Americans. "Well, I'll start with this. I grew up a middle-class kid," Harris responded. "My mother raised my sister and me. She worked very hard. She was able to finally save up enough money to buy our first house when I was a teenager.

What followed was a mind-numbing word salad in which she spent nearly a quarter of the interview (which was only 10 minutes long) rambling about being "middle class."

Charleroi, Pennsylvania, like Springfield, Ohio, is also experiencing a growing number of problems from a tidal wave of Haitian migrants flooding into their small town. While the media focuses on the woes of Springfield, Ohio, and its recent flood of Haitian migrants putting pressure on the small town, other small towns are experiencing similar problems. One of them is Charleroi, Pennsylvania, nestled on the banks of the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh in the western part of the state. According to the activist group America-2100, the rural town has suffered a 2,000-percent increase in its population of Haitian migrants — and crime and traffic altercations have soared as a result.
