TrumpAppearance in rally speech
This morning, Washington also held a “Save America” rally. Trump supporters and patriots from all over the country burst the scene, and the atmosphere was very warm.
President Trump also appeared at the rally and delivered a speech.
He said at the beginning, “We will never admit defeat. We have had enough of this. We will “stop election stealing.”
He said that he won the election, and won on a large scale, much more votes than the first term. However, in this election, the government has become the enemy of the people, and the election integrity is not as good as that of third world countries.
Trump said that the United States needs Congress to make the right choice. Congress should hear the voice of patriots and maintain the fairness of the election.
He also thanked Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley and Kelly Loffler for their efforts, and reviewed the various swing states’Election fraudActs and criticizes the current mainstream American media for not reporting the truth. They are “criminal media.”
At the end of the speech, Trump once again called forPensMake the right decision and call on the senator to make the right decision. He said, “Today is just the beginning of the war; today, we are together to drain the swamp of Washington.”
Pence: The Constitution restricts my power
However, Pence disappointed Trump and all the American people who believed that election fraud had occurred. Before the convening of the joint meeting of Congress, Pence issued a statement stating that he had no power to make decisions on electoral votes and that his role was merely “ceremonial.”
Pence said, “According to my prudent judgment, my pledge to support and defend the constitution prevents me from claiming that I have the unilateral power to decide which electoral votes should be counted and which should not be counted.”
He mentioned that he “welcomes senators and congressmen to exercise their powers within the scope of legal authorization, raise objections and provide evidence,” and will “appropriately consider” those challenges that meet the requirements.
Pence also said that the Democratic Party has challenged Republican presidential candidates in the first three times. If the challenge is considered “improper or undemocratic,” it is ignoring American history.
After the statement was issued, President Trump tweeted in response, “Mike Pence did not have the courage to do what should be done to protect our country and our constitution.”
Member challenge certification
On the other hand, in the joint meeting, the first controversial state to be challenged was Arizona. Rep. Paul Gosar, a federal Republican of Arizona, opposed the results of the electoral vote in his state. About 60 members of the House of Representatives and one senator joined the challenge at the same time.
After Gosala raised his objection, several MPs stood up and applauded him.
The senator who challenged was Ted Cruz. Cruz said that if we do not consider the illegal and fraudulent behavior in the election when voting, what does this mean for nearly half of the people who believe that the election was rigged?
After the challenge was raised, Vice President Pence, who presided over the joint meeting, determined that the opposition complied with the law, and therefore announced that members of the two houses would return to their respective chambers for debate.
The public shocked the MPs to withdraw
During the debate, it seemed that supporters of President Trump and others marched towards the Capitol and hit the roadblocks. A congressman confirmed to CNN that the House of Representatives is being evacuated. According to reports, some people heard protesters breaking into the Capitol knocking on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Subsequently, Vice President Pence evacuated from the Capitol. After the protesters broke into the Capitol, the voting by the Electoral College was suspended.
Senator Cruz, White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany and others all called for peaceful protests and an end to violence.
President Trump also posted a short video on Twitter, calling on the protesters to return home safely. He said that he knew the protesters were hurt, but he didn’t want anyone to be hurt anymore. He said that this was a rigged election. Someone stole the election from him, from the protesters and from the United States, but he still hopes that the protesters will go home and that they will go home safely.
Trump also said, “Go home, we love you, you are special. We understand how you feel!”
However, this tweet was prohibited by Twitter from replying, simply reposting, and banning likes on the grounds that it was “risk of violence.”
88 state legislators call for postponement of certification Trump speaks to Pence
Today, one big event happens one after another, we need a big heart to accept. Now, let us bring our eyes back to before these events.
On the eve of the joint meeting, 88 Republican state legislators from the disputed state jointly sent a letter to Pence, calling on him to postpone the certification of electoral votes for 10 days. This dramatic request made the counting process more unknown.
The lawmakers wrote, “We are writing to request that you comply with our reasonable requirements and give our country more time to properly review the 2020 elections and postpone the counting and counting of the electoral votes on January 6. 10 days, so that our council has time to meet, investigate, and vote to verify or cancel the election results.”
They emphasized, “This action can be completed before the inauguration day as required by the Constitution.”
At the same time, 21 state senators from Pennsylvania wrote to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (Kevin McCarthy). They called for the postponement of the certification of electoral votes until the court heard the legal challenge initiated by President Trump against the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania.
According to the Epoch Times, as of now, a total of 102 members of Congress have publicly announced that they will oppose electoral votes, including 89 members of the House of Representatives and 13 senators.
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi) also announced on the evening of Tuesday (5th) the list of Democratic congressmen to challenge. She said in a letter that Rep. Zoe Lofgren, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff and Joe Neguse ) Will form a core group to deal with the House of Representatives debate in the joint meeting.
Pence’s previous attitude was that “just like millions of Americans are concerned about voting violations,” he also promised to hear opposition and evidence, and “make a difference in Congress.” However, he has not made it clear whether he will reject the electoral votes of the disputed state, or return these votes to the state councils to postpone certification.
On the evening of January 5, Trump issued a statement stating that he and Pence reached a consensus, that is, Pence has the right to take action to veto Biden’s victory.
The statement said that in accordance with the Constitution, Pence has several options: he can veto the results or return these electoral votes to the state legislatures to decide; he can also veto the illegal votes and hand them to the House of Representatives, so that they can vote according to one state. Way to vote.
Earlier this morning, Trump again tweeted that if Pence “to help, we will be elected president.” He went on to say, “Many states hope to revoke the mistakes they made when verifying incorrect or even fraudulent (vote) numbers. These (authentication) processes were not approved by the state legislature (it must be). Mike (Pence) can return it!”.
After that, Trump wanted to cheer Pence again, so he tweeted again, “All Mike Pence has to do is to send them (disputed state votes) back to those states, so we win. Do. Well, Mike, this is a time that requires extreme courage!”
Qiaozhou’s final vote count reproduces fraudulent methods in the presidential election
Let’s look again at the results of the vote counting for the runoff for the Georgia Senate.
So far, Democrat Raphael Warnock (Raphael Warnock) has declared victory in the final against Republican Kelly Loeffler, but Loeffler said that he still has a “way to victory”. road”.
Another group of Republicans, David Perdue (David Perdue) and Democrat Jon Ossoff (Jon Ossoff), the election results came later. According to the Associated Press (AP), Osov won.
As the presidential election exposed many unexpected election frauds and irregularities, many people kept their eyes open this time and paid attention to whether the counting of votes was normal. Many people have discovered that fraud has happened again, and it is a direct copy of fraud in the presidential election.
For example, Chatham County announced that it would stop counting votes at around 10:30 pm on the 5th and continue at 8 am on the 6th. Does it sound familiar?
In the two minutes from 10:16 to 10:18 in the evening, the Democrat Warnock suddenly increased by 140,000 votes, while his Republican opponent only increased by 26,800 votes. The original lead was reversed.
Within 3 minutes from 11:17 to 11:20 in the evening, that is, when the number of votes suddenly jumped from 91% to 95%, there was another wave of “stuffing votes,” and the Democrat Osov soared by 140,000. By the number of votes, Republican Perdue only increased 27,600 votes.
People who watched live TV broadcasts on CNN and ABC found that the Republican Perdue had 774,723 votes a moment ago, but as soon as the data was updated, his votes became 742,323, and 32,400 votes disappeared instantly.
Current affairs commentator Tang Jingyuan tweeted, “Last night the Georgia by-election was a card of stealing power. It was their response to all the investigations and exposing election fraud in the past two months with a proud expression: Believe it or not, Just ask if you accept it.”
He added, “The United States is rapidly completing the “Venezuelanization” process. Americans who have been accustomed to letting the system protect themselves for a long time, what choice will they make when the system degenerates into an accomplice?”
Trump bans 8 Chinese apps, Pompeo reveals CCP’s invasion of the West
While fighting hard and defending election justice, the Trump administration has not relaxed its response to CCP infiltration.
Yesterday (5th), Trump signed an executive order entitled “Resolve the threats posed by applications and other software developed or controlled by Chinese companies.” The administrative order banned 8 Chinese applications, they are: Alipay (Alipay), CamScanner, QQ Wallet (QQ Wallet), SHAREit, Tencent QQ, VMate, WeChat Pay (WeChat Pay) and WPS Office.
Trump said in the executive order that these applications can use users to access private information. The CCP can use this information to “track the locations of federal employees and contractors and build personal information files.”
Secretary of Commerce Ross later stated that his department has already started to implement instructions, “including investigating certain prohibited transactions related to China-related applications.”
Ross said, “I support President Trump’s efforts to protect the privacy and safety of Americans from the threat of the Chinese Communist Party. The Department of Commerce will use the power granted by the executive order to continue our mission to ensure the safety of the country, the economy, and the people.”
In recent years, we have been hearing news that Western society has been infiltrated by the CCP, but how serious is it?
US Secretary of State Pompeo said in an interview with the Epoch Times “American Thought Leaders” (American Thought Leaders) a few days ago, “The CCP has entered our door, our government, our higher education institution, our research institution.”
He explained, “The CCP is by our side, and they are working in our school. They work in our associations and institutions, appearing as so-called civil organizations, but in fact, this is an integral part of the CCP’s information collection work. This is a different form of threat, and is different in nature from the threats we have seen for a long time.”
Pompeo also mentioned the CCP’s interference in the US election. He said that in the U.S. election, the CCP was clearly lobbying hard and sparing no effort. However, he cannot disclose too much at present. He will let the intelligence services complete their work and release reports appropriately, because the American people should know these truths.
During the interview, Pompeo also clearly distinguished the Chinese people, China and the CCP. He said, “China has many dynasties, a long history, and full of legends. The people who live here are good people. Sadly, they live under the shackles of an authoritarian regime.” “In the past 50 years, some of the human civilization The worst tragedy happened in China.”
He said that he admires the Chinese people and believes that the Chinese people want freedom and want to take a different path.
The Hong Kong Government arrests the Pearl of the Orient and becomes the “Oriental Purgatory”
The CCP not only harmed the people in mainland China, but they also extended their black hands to Hong Kong.
On the morning of the 6th local time, the Hong Kong police arrested 53 people who had participated in the primary election of the pro-democracy party on suspicion of violating the “Hong Kong version of the National Security Law” for “subversion of state power”, searched 72 premises, and issued courts to 4 companies. Orders to obtain information and freeze the amount of HK$1.6 million involved in the case, and even claimed that further arrests were not ruled out.
In addition to former members of the Legislative Council and current members Hu Zhiwei, Tu Jinshen and Kwong Junyu, the arrested also included Dai Yaoting, a former associate professor of the University of Hong Kong who was responsible for holding the primary election, and American human rights lawyer John Clancey.
This is the largest number of arrests by the Hong Kong government since the Chinese Communist Party implemented the “Hong Kong version of the National Security Law” on June 30, 2020.
On the morning of the 6th, Huang Zhifeng, a former member of Hong Kong Zhongzhi, also posted a message on his Facebook account, revealing that the police searched Huang Zhifeng’s residence in the morning and declared that he was suspected of violating the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law.
Taiwan’s Premier Su Zhenchang condemned that this was a terrorist suppression by the CCP. Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council responded that the evil deeds captured by the CCP have turned Hong Kong from the “Pearl of the Orient” into a shocking “Oriental Purgatory.”
Commentators familiar with the internal affairs of the CCP pointed out that the CCP is now using its tactics against mainland dissidents to deal with Hong Kong democrats, and Hong Kong has fallen completely.
