It seems 2020 will be officially the worst year in modern history. A pandemic produced in China and used by Democrats and the media to create hysteria in the public led to millions of unsolicited ballots being sent to Americans across the country. This process was totally abused and the “counting” continued until enough ballots were tabulated showing former Vice President Joe Biden in the lead in several key battleground states.
The nightmare got worse on Saturday morning when the corporate and left-wing media joined forces to announce Biden as the “President-Elect.” These media titans overlooked the stunning accusations of voter fraud on Election Day and the fact that vote counting was continuing in several states.
Despite the unanimous media announcement, the fact remains that this election is disputed and that the Trump campaign and the Republican Party are pursuing legal challenges throughout the country. For example, in Wisconsin and Georgia, recounts will be conducted. In Pennsylvania and Arizona, votes are still being counted that could deliver those states to President Trump.
Unfortunately, the news media are not interested in the truth and have no interest in uncovering real voter fraud. Their main interest is to declare Biden the victor and to remove President Trump from the White House.
This corrupt cabal includes not just big media, but big tech, pollsters, Wall Street, Hollywood, an array of special interests, Democrats and the pathetic group of Benedict Arnold Republicans involved with the Lincoln Project.
To show their support for Biden, the President’s news conference on Thursday disputing the election results was not covered by most of the news networks. His tweets are being regularly censored by Twitter. His campaign statements are not being given much attention and his campaign’s news conference in Philadelphia on Saturday was almost totally ignored by the Biden loving media.
At that news conference, Trump officials, such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, showcased evidence of voter fraud and produced poll watchers who were prevented from observing the work of election officials. This was not unique to Pennsylvania as Trump campaign observers faced illegal opposition throughout the country.
While the news media was demonizing Trump and promoting Biden, Project Veritas was doing the work that journalists used to do. They produced a series of videos highlighting United States Postal Service (USPS) whistleblowers in states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada. These courageous USPS employees highlighted illegal activities such as backdating ballots and improperly handling blank ballots that had been mailed to wrong addresses.
Of course, the news media had no interest in reporting on the stunning Project Veritas discoveries. It is also infuriating, but not surprising, that the media are very unconcerned about voting software that experienced a “glitch” in Michigan which resulted in thousands of Trump voters being cast for Biden. The mistake was uncovered in one Michigan county, but the software, made by Dominion Systems, was used throughout the state.
This same software was used in Georgia and workers reported that a mysterious software update was made the night before the election. In two counties, Spalding and Morgan, the voting machines crashed the morning of the election. According to one election official, Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at the Spalding County Board of Election, the problems were caused by the mysterious software update. She said, “That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election.”
All these incredible revelations have led to almost no journalistic curiosity from the “Fake News,” which is too busy celebrating the Biden “victory.”
One other potential problem with the election results occurred in states that reported a massive “ballot dump” in the early morning hours on Wednesday. This controversy, along with other potential problems, led Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to direct the state’s Campaigns and Elections Committee to “use its investigatory powers under Wisconsin SS 13.31 to immediately review how the election was administered. With concerns surfacing about mail-in ballot dumps and voter fraud, Wisconsin citizens deserve to know their vote counted.”
Congrats to Speaker Vos for launching an investigation. It is curious that in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan and other states, the votes for the Democratic Party’s U.S. Senate candidate was far below what Biden received. In contrast, President Trump’s vote totals closely mirrored what the Republican U.S. Senate candidates received. If there were any real reporters left, they would be launching an investigation and asking why the discrepancy?
Sadly, the news media are rushing to crown Biden the next President and dismiss legitimate election questions. As talk show host Mark Levin noted, “there's more evidence of voter fraud than there was ever evidence of Russia collusion... So those that keep saying, let's see the evidence, where the hell were you for the last four years?”
With the media, establishment Republicans and Democrats calling for Americans to “unite” around the so-called “President-Elect,” Levin issued a scathing retort, “I'm part of the new resistance, God forbid if our president doesn't win…I am not uniting around [Biden] any more than they united around our man.”
Levin is right on target. If Biden assumes the White House under these questionable circumstances, he should receive the same treatment from conservatives and Republicans that President Trump received from his multitude of political opponents. A political resistance should be launched against Biden and all the crooked forces that supported him.
Trump was not given a moment’s rest during his tenure. There was no honeymoon, no bipartisanship, and no acceptance of his presidency from his opposition. He endured coup attempts, a bogus impeachment, a Covid-19 hysteria designed to harm the economy and a fraudulent election process that resulted in millions of unsolicited ballots being mailed across the country.
Possibly, the enemies of the President have defeated him with this latest ruse, but his supporters must never forget what he had to undergo. It is only right and just that a President Biden be treated in precisely the same manner.

Jude Miller, a senior at Vermilion Catholic High School, just like many kids that age, began drawing around 12 and described his art as ‘just okay’. Five years later, his artwork has gained many fans, and he has credited that to practicing and being inspired by other good artists.
The 17-year old says that sometimes, he does get to the point where he wants to draw and create, but there is this thing called artist block. Much like writer block, it can quickly become difficult to either finish or begin something you want to encompass. With Miller, he tries to get inspired by looking at work from other creators, hoping an idea comes to mind.
Some artists can take years to finish their pieces of art while some take months or days. That is how it is for Miller.
“It all depends on the piece I’m working on,” he said, “I rarely finish a piece in one day. I usually spread them out over some time, which can vary from weeks to months.” Miller says that he doesn’t like to stick to one theme, but he can usually create anything with much detail if he has a pencil in hand.
Some families are full of artistic and artfully talented people. Still, Miller says that the only person he can think of that is talented in this way is his grandfather, and Miller’s mother, Sonya, agreed. “Although Jude’s drawings have much more detail and depth to them comparing it to my father’s work, I do believe he did get his artistic abilities from my father,” she said.
Miller’s grandfather, Larry LeBlanc, used to draw and paint his own Christmas decorations that he would put on display every year before he passed away. Miller’s family is proud of him and his fantastic talent and admire his passion and hard work that he puts into every piece that he creates. It is refreshing for them to see someone draw again after losing someone who enjoyed it so much.
Having enough art to fill an exhibit, Miller has a few of his favorites. Although his favorite art is done by using a pencil, he has painted, too.
“I’m glad my drawings had gotten much better since I think it used to be bad when I first started. It took a lot of practice.” He will draw it if something comes to mind, and there isn’t much out there that he can’t draw. Some artists stick to portraits, scenery, even abstract art, but once Miller feels inspired by something, he gets an idea and draws it, which could be anything, even animals.
One favorite is a portrait he drew of his late cousin, Kalix Broussard, who passed in a terrible vehicle accident in January of this year.
Kalix’s father, Bubba Broussard, recalled the moment he received the portrait from Miller.
“Jude drew this for myself and my wife as a wedding gift,” he said, “Kalix passed in January, and my fiance’ at the time and myself were planning our wedding for a couple of years prior of Kalix’s passing.” Despite the wedding being so close to the date of Broussard’s son passing, Broussard and his fiance’ decided to continue with the wedding.
“We knew in our hearts that Kalix would not want us to cancel, so we continued with the wedding as planned, which was in March,” he said, “This was one of our gifts from Jude, and it meant the world to us and still does to this day as it sits in our living room overlooking us every minute of every day,” Broussard said.
Though Miller is undecided on the path he will take in life, he is sure his drawing will never leave him. “I do want to go to college, but I’m not sure what I want to go for yet, but I don’t think I’ll ever stop drawing,” he said. As far as a favorite artist, Miller has many that he follows on social media and says that naming a few wouldn’t do justice to anyone.
Miller is known to be a special person, as said by his family and friends, but to have a special person with that much talent who can gift someone something like Kalix’s portrait says a lot about his character. “We know there are so many people proud of him, and I think he knows that. We just hope he never forgets it,” his family said.
