Trump supporters are not violent. The violence comes from the Democrat brown shirts known as BLM and Anti-Fa.

From what I can find, this press release was put out before it was decided that the state legislature would close for the week.

Because I cannot find any record of a joint statement made yesterday at 3:45pm local time. I checked House Majority Leader Petersen's Twitter feed, and he didn't post any video in related to the press release.

WASHINGTON — Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis has contracted COVID-19, just one day after the president confirmed that Rudy Giuliani was also infected with the disease, a new report says.

Ellis has informed several associates that she tested positive for the virus after she attended a senior staff Christmas Party on Friday, sparking fears the gathering could become another West Wing super-spreader event, Axios reported.

Ellis has been leading the president’s post-election litigation efforts alongside Giuliani, with the pair crisscrossing the country together in recent weeks, attending indoor rallies and court hearings designed to flip the presidential election results.

There was no violence. Try again.

What was the purpose of bringing weapons?

by Rep. Paul Gosar

As I write this, I am in our nation’s Capital attending to legislative business, but I remain focused on what is happening in our country regarding our election.

In 2016, then candidate Donald Trump fell victim to a heinous crime that had never before been committed in the history of our country. The outgoing Obama administration weaponized our Department of Justice and FBI to unlawfully spy on their political opponent. They falsified information and crafted a ridiculous narrative around a Russia hoax that would be used as the basis to pursue a sham investigation. That disgraceful investigation became a Sword of Damocles throughout the majority of President Trump’s Presidency.

Before President Trump was even sworn in, Democrat Leftists swore an oath to remove him by any means they could. Official calls to impeach him came before he was even sworn in. At the conclusion of the Russia investigation, they cherry picked a phone call the President had with Ukraine to pursue a farcical impeachment. They failed. They lied about our President every day for four years. Having failed everywhere else, they brazenly engaged in systemic voter fraud and are trying to steal this election. They did it right in front of us with no shame.

For months Joe Biden hid while they carefully planned. The “fact-checkers” became more bold — removing reports and slapping “this claim is disputed” labels on anything that might bruise Joe Biden. For weeks leading up to Election Day, we were told to expect Trump to win big on election night but that in the days that followed, Biden would overtake any lead as mail-in ballots were counted. On election night as votes poured in overwhelmingly for President Trump, Joe Biden told supporters to “Keep the Faith” and “We believe we are on track to win this.” The next morning, we all awoke to see massive, statistically impossible spikes in votes for Joe Biden and almost zero for President Trump. Are we witnessing a coup d’etat?

We will not tolerate this.

As many of you know, I helped organize the very first “Stop the Steal” rally in Arizona right after it became clear that voting patterns emerged that could not occur in the absence of fraud. Patriotic warriors joined together to gather evidence and tell the Left we will not accept a coup and a usurper in the White House.

We all remember when candidate Joe Biden held a rally in downtown Phoenix and precisely zero people attended. Nada. Zilch. It was a clear reflection of the utter lack of popular support in Arizona for Biden. Conversely, President Trump held rallies in Yuma, Bullhead City, Prescott, and several other places and 30,000 people showed up in person on 48 hours notice while millions of others watched online. You could not look out your window without seeing patriots waving flags and declaring their support for President Trump. I travel extensively all over this state. I saw 2 maybe 3 signs for Biden between Yuma and Mohave Counties. Otherwise Arizona was a sea of MAGA 2020.

In short, from the pre-election polls, to Election Day, to voter enthusiasm, and to the extreme turnout for Republicans statewide, where every contested down ballot race was won by Republicans (with the notable exception of Martha McSally), it was apparent that Trump would win, and indeed did win, Arizona. It was not even close.

I attended a legislative hearing on Monday and listened to two expert witnesses familiar with Dominion voting software and voting patterns. They both testified that the Arizona results, particularly in Maricopa County, were altered to take votes from President Trump and give them to Biden. Perhaps one of the more damning testimonies came from Dr. Shiva who presented data showing that based upon demographic distribution of Party affiliations, the only way for Biden to have statistically caught up with Donald Trump was if Democrat votes came in at 130% for Biden and -30% for Trump.

A recent hand count of a random sampling of ballots, ordered by a superior court judge, determined that 3% of the votes in Maricopa County were fraudulently recorded against President Trump and in favor of Biden. Considering that Biden supposedly “won” by .06%, this theft of votes is more than enough to put Arizona in President Trump’s column and restore his lawful and rightful victory.

We can never accept the results of fraud. Our right to vote includes the right to a fair vote count. I will fight to restore the rightful victor, President Trump. Our Constitution, our Republic and our nation demand election integrity. We are not giving up. The President has not conceded and will not concede to a Third World coup d’etat. We have a constitutional republic, not a banana republic.

Please stay strong and pray for our country and the true President of the United States. Be ready to defend the Constitution and the White House.

A federal judge portrayed the Justice Department’s prior attempt to drop the case as unlikely to have met legal standards as legitimate.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge dismissed the criminal case against President Trump’s former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn on Tuesday, two weeks after Mr. Trump pardoned him, but portrayed the Justice Department’s previous arguments for dismissing the matter as “dubious to say the least” and suggested he “likely” would have rejected them.

In a 43-page opinion, Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia expressed strong doubts about the legitimacy of Attorney General William P. Barr’s decision to try to end the case against Mr. Flynn even though he had twice pleaded guilty to lying to the F.B.I. But the judge said the subsequent pardon had rendered the legal question moot.

“The history of the Constitution, its structure, and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the pardon power make clear that President Trump’s decision to pardon Mr. Flynn is a political decision, not a legal one,” Judge Sullivan wrote. “Because the law recognizes the president’s political power to pardon, the appropriate course is to dismiss this case as moot.”

In 2016, then candidate Donald Trump fell victim to a heinous crime that had never before been committed in the history of our country. The outgoing Obama administration weaponized our Department of Justice and FBI to unlawfully spy on their political opponent.

...it was apparent that Trump would win, and indeed did win, Arizona.

Arizona’s most embarrassing congressman, Rep. Paul Gosar, decided to go a different route in choosing an analogy.

Gosar suggested the Trump cult would be like the Imperial Japanese soldier Hiroo Onoda, who remained in the jungle on Lubang Island near Luzon, in the Philippines, until 1974 because he did not believe that the war had ended, and Teruo Nakamura, an Amis aborigine in the Takasago Volunteer Unit of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed on Morotai Island in Indonesia, who was left for dead after the island was overrun by the Allies in September 1944 in the Battle of Morotai. Nakamura was the last known Japanese holdout to surrender after the end of hostilities in 1945.

So according to Rep. Gosar, Trump cult members will remain blindly loyal to their “Imperial Emperor” (a demigod), and will deny the reality that the election (war) is lost. That’s a sad, lonely existence.

If only they would disappear into the jungle on a remote island somewhere, never to be heard from again.

It was the will of the people in 2016. This election was stolen and it is going to be overturned one way or the other.

There is only one path to victory for Joe Biden, and that's if President Trump concedes. Assuming he does not, there are four viable paths (technically five) through which President Trump is reelected.

The most you lot will be able to do is make noise enough to cause your representatives in Washington to obstruct Biden’s agenda.

That’s the MOST you are going to do. And if we win GA’s senate seats, you won’t even do that. You’re not overturning a damn thing.

No, I am not overturning anything. The SCOTUS and state legislatures are.
