OHIO: Democrat Cincinnati City Councilman @PGSittenfeld arrested on federal corruption charges, source says

Sittenfeld is the 2nd Cincinnati City Councilman to be arrested THIS WEEK fox19.com/2020/11/19/cin…
Charges unveiled against Sittenfeld in his 20-page indictment allege he schemed to funnel money from developers into a political action committee (PAC) that he secretly controlled, court records show.
The “developers” were really undercover FBI agents who handed a total of $40,000 in Sittenfeld checks on three different occasions, according to the indictment.
Sittenfeld is running to be Cincinnati’s mayor and considered by some as the front runner with thousands of dollars raised for his campaign.

He is now the THIRD Cincinnati City Councilmember to be arrested on corruption charges this year and the second in the past week alone.
Federal authorities recently revealed in court records they were investigating corruption and bribery related to votes and development projects and said more prosecution were coming.
.@votePASTOR was arrested Nov. 4 on felony charges of bribery, extortion, wire fraud, money laundering and other crimes.

Several of Pastor’s colleagues on council and throughout the region and state have called on him to also resign.
Former City Councilwoman @TDennard also was arrested in February on charges she accepted bribes for her vote.

She resigned in March, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and will be sentenced Nov. 24.

Gee, Why Can’t Trump Accept Defeat Like the Democrats?

In 1980, Carter lost in a landslide to Reagan, 489-49 in the Electoral College. So Democrats concluded that Reagan had committed treason in order to steal the election.

(via @AnnCoulter)
takimag.com/article/gee-wh…
The Dems’ theory was that a month before the election, members of Reagan’s campaign had clandestinely met with reps of Ayatollah Khomeini in Paris and offered to sell him weapons in exchange for a promise not to release the hostages, thus denying Carter a huge election triumph.
In other words, liberals believed the Islamo-fascist cutthroats who had been toying with Carter like a cat with a ball of yarn wanted Carter replaced by someone stronger, like Reagan. How else to explain that, minutes after Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were released?

9 Key Points from Trump Campaign Presser on Challenges to Election Results

Giuliani: There was a “plan from a centralized place” to commit voter fraud in Dem-controlled cities
via @joelpollak
breitbart.com/2020-election/…
1. Observers were allegedly prevented from watching mail-in ballots being opened. Giuliani said that many mail-in ballots were opened without observers being able to check that they were properly signed, a key protection against fraud.
Those votes, he said, were “null and void,” especially where the envelopes had been discarded, making recounts useless.

DHS Official: Fired Cybersecurity Director @CISAKrebs Did Not Have The Authority To Speak On Election Fraud thefederalist.com/2020/11/19/dhs…
While CISA successfully helped prevent a cyberattack on “election infrastructure,” a DHS official told The Federalist that election fraud is “beyond the scope” of the authority extended to CISA and Krebs, who is authorized to address election interference only.

#RumorControl
“Election fraud is different than election interference and is beyond the scope of CISA authorities,” the official said.

Danish study finds no clear evidence face masks protect wearer from Covid-19 infection thelocal.dk/20201118/danis… via @TheLocalDenmark
The study compared how well protected one group of people who used masks were compared with a second group who did not use them. The results of the study were announced in a statement released by Copenhagen’s Rigshospitalet.
It is important to note that the study looked exclusively at the protective effects of masks for the wearer, and not at the wearer’s ability to protect others.

What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Won

We must accept a perfect storm of implausible anomalies and brazen irregularities (via @catronicus) spectator.org/what-we-must-b…
As even Juan Williams admits in the Hill, “President Trump set a record last week by attracting the highest percentage of the non-white vote of any Republican presidential candidate in the last 60 years.”
Yet we are expected to believe that, despite the worst showing among minorities of any Democrat nominee since JFK, Biden surpassed Barack Obama’s record-breaking turnout by 10 million votes?
