"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."

"I have covered presidential election nights for different networks for roughly 20 years. In each election, there have been irregularities and challenges. The greatest such controversy came with the 2000 election that was ultimately decided in the Bush v. Gore decision by the Supreme Court.

"Yet, I do not recall any prior election where there were predictions of rioting, let alone such predictions in virtually every major city.

"The legal forecast is not good. Absent a Biden landslide, this is going to be messy. We have never relied on this number of mail-in ballots. Even in a normal year with a fraction of this number of mail-in balloting, we have had inevitable challenges on when and how to count such votes."

"If the presidential election indeed ends up being close, we aren't likely to know the winner on Election Night. In six swing states (Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), no mail-in ballots may be counted before Election Day.

"The large number of mail-in ballots may prove slow to validate. That will bring tremendous pressure to bear to bypass safeguards against fraud and produce results. Recall the 'Count Every Vote!' demands of protesters doing the 2000 recount in Florida.

"'If the election is close, it doesn't matter how well it was run -- it will be a mess,' Charles Stewart III, a political-science professor at MIT who studies election data, told the Washington Post. 'The two campaigns will be arguing over nonconforming ballots.'"

"The FBI has reportedly been investigating Hunter Biden and his business associates over allegations of money-laundering since 2019.

"An official with the Department of Justice confirmed the existence of the federal investigation, which remains active, according to Sinclair Broadcast Group."

"Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey lied to Congress on Tuesday during a Senate hearing focused on Big Tech's content moderation policies when he claimed that his social media company has never censored President Donald Trump.

"'Just to be clear, we have not censored the president,' Dorsey said in response to Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. 'We have not taken the tweets down that you're referencing. We have added context with a label and we do the same for leaders around the world.'

"Blackburn said Twitter has censored Trump and his campaign's tweets and accounts at least 65 times, and but never once censored Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden. Dorsey maintained the company did nothing wrong by labeling the president's tweets and adding more 'context' to his statements.

"'We have not censored the U.S. president,' Dorsey echoed. 'We do not take down the tweets but we add context around it.'

"'Despite Dorsey's false claims, there are numerous examples of Twitter censoring Trump and even taking down his posts."

"For Tony Bobulinski, the meetings with Joe Biden are unforgettable, and not because they had anything to do with politics. It's because that's when Bobulinski fully understood that Joe was very much involved in the foreign business schemes that son Hunter Biden and Joe's brother Jim had cooked up.

"The final proof came during two conversations over two days in May 2017. He first met the former vice president in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where Joe was to speak the next day at the Milken Conference on the 'moonshot project' of finding a cure for cancer.

"'Hunter and Jim and I are there, and Hunter gets up and talks to his father when he comes in,' Bobulinski told me in a Tuesday interview. 'He then brings Joe over and introduces me, saying he's the one who's helping us with the business we're doing with the Chinese.'

"If Joe Biden was honest with the public when he said he never discussed Hunter's business with him, the next words out of his mouth would have been, 'What business with the Chinese? What are you talking about, son?'

"But that's not what he said, according to Bobulinski (near right). Joe Biden didn't look surprised or curious about Hunter's introduction and, after a get-to-know-you conversation, Bobulinski remembers Joe saying, 'My son and my brother trust you emphatically so I trust you. Good luck and work hard.'"

"In nominating Barrett to the Supreme Court, [President Trump] kept his promise by choosing an undaunted originalist -- someone who interprets the Constitution based on the understanding held by its ratifiers.

"Trump's most profound effect on the Constitution will come when she and the other Trump Justices apply that originalism to the questions of liberty and equality."
