Trump’s call
I doubt you listened to an hour long call between President Trump, and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to demand he overturn the results of the presidential election in Georgia and deliver the state to Trump. I did.
It’s great insight to listen to allegations of fraud and try to understand what they are from The W.H.
It’s a huge demonstration of Trumps character and personality.
So I listened to Trump’s ramblings.
My take:
the allegations are manufactured. For instance Trump claims in the call thousands and thousands of dead people voted. The officials in Georgia investigated and said there were only 2 cases.
reference was made to a tape alleging vote stuffing in a polling station. The Georgia police etc investigated that too. The tape was heavily edited and found to be without merit.
Trump claimed hundreds of thousands of votes were his not Biden’s. Joining Trump on the call was White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Meadows asked Raffensperger “to look at some of these allegations to find a path forward that’s less litigious.” Raffensperger replied: “we don’t agree that you have won.”
Trump also claimed voting machines were being dismantled and taken away and that they are suspect. He was told the machines are not being removed and the machines count was matched by recounts.
On Trumps character and personality - Trump seems to believe his own ramblings raising questions about his sociopathy and conscience. Trump has always told falsehoods. But this call shows he has no respect for democracy. This call shows he is only interested in power. This call shows Trump is a danger to America.
the call is here if you want to listen: On NBC or google it and you can find it in multiple locations:

It following calls from some Trump supporters to invoke martial law in a bid to block Joe Biden.

COVID 19 VARIANT AND VACCINES
In our podcast Back Story with Dana Lewis Dr. Paul Hunter a virologist:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/1016881/7078915
Here’s the highlight - Dr. Hunter (East Anglia Uni.) says the vaccines do NOT protect you from transmission, or infection. That means, if you get the vaccine you can still spread the virus! And no herd immunity.
“Looking at the published data from the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine that almost certainly does not stop people getting infected and probably, therefore, being a risk for onward spread, even though it reduces the probability of people getting sick. Though I think we can safely assume that it does still reduce transmission if only because asymptomatic people are less infectious. If vaccines do not stop people spreading the infection that means herd immunity is not achievable even with the original lower infectiousness variants” says Dr. Hunter.
Dr. Hunter also says
“Now that the new variant is so much more infectious this has big implications for people who decline vaccination. It may well be the case that even with a large proportion of the population vaccinated those that remain unvaccinated will still be very much at risk of severe disease and death and cannot rely on the protection that may have come from people around them having taken the vaccine”
JULIAN ASSANGE
A British Judge has ruled Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks cannot be extradited to the U.S. out of concerns for his mental health.
“I find that the mental condition of Mr Assange is such that it would be oppressive to extradite him to the United States of America,” said the judge.
