"'Herd immunity' and a return to normalcy by May: That's an awesome projection from a professional source, Dr. Moncef Slaoui, a top Operation Warp Speed adviser.

"On the Sunday shows, Slaoui consistently said 70 percent of Americans should be vaccinated within six months. And that, he explained, means that transmission of the virus would fall through the floor, even as everyone resumes their normal lives.

"That assumes that the two 'finished' vaccines get OKs by the Food and Drug Administration this month, and that production and distribution don't somehow get screwed up. ...

"There's your miracle, media and the Democrats. Don't stand in the way now."

"Pelosi is now being forced to try to lead the House with (currently) a 222-205 lead. Republicans appear to be leading in the undecided races in California, Iowa and New York. We will see about the race in Louisiana's 5th Congressional District. If these races go as expected, the House will have a 223-212 Democratic majority. That means losing six Democratic seats in 2022 will give Kevin McCarthy and Republicans control of the floor. ...

"Now Pelosi must face a Democratic caucus whose members have not yet absorbed that they control far fewer seats than they had expected the day before the election. The Democrats who care about being in the majority must ask themselves what they need to do to survive as a majority when the historic precedents indicate they will have a disastrous 2022. ...

"Even more exciting for long-term House Republican supporters like me, these victories came with a much broader and more competitive set of candidates.

"As columnist Henry Olsen wrote in The Washington Post: 'At least 33 House Republicans will be either women or non-White when the new body sits in January. This includes 27 women, six Hispanics, and two Black men, Burgess Owens of Utah and Byron Donalds of Florida. They come from all regions of the country and represent urban, suburban and rural seats.'"

"Let's be honest: The Democrats and the media want the economy to crash before Joe Biden enters the White House in January. They have been rooting against the economy for four years now.

"The problem is the economy isn't crashing and burning -- just the opposite. The pandemic lockdowns flattened the economy earlier this year, and there's lots of heavy lifting to do to get all the jobs back. But they are coming back, and Trump will be bequeathing to Biden the swiftest recovery from a deep recession in modern history. The last quarter came in at a record 33% growth.

"The jobs report released earlier this month recorded nearly 1 million more private-sector jobs added to the economy. That means 12 million new hires in some six months. Nine months into a pandemic, and this superhero performance on Trump's economy has the unemployment rate down to 6.9%. That's half of what the Congressional Budget Office predicted.

"How good is this? It took six months to get unemployment below 7% under Trump. It took the Obama-Biden administration almost six years to do that."

"The Democrats' House majority is so thin that Steny Hoyer is reportedly telling House Democrats not to accept positions in the Biden administration because the thin majority might not be a majority anymore if there are even just a handful of resignations. (In what Isaac Schorr accurately called the biggest New York Jets win of the decade, former Jet Burgess Owens will represent Utah's fourth congressional district in the next Congress.) If Republicans sweep all the remaining uncalled seats where they lead, the GOP could end with 213 members. (Some of those leads are by just a few hundred votes.) Next year, if ten Democratic members got stuck in traffic or on a delayed flight, Democrats would temporarily not have a majority in the chamber -- and, depending upon the day's business, would have to remain in recess until those last members arrived."

"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."
