‘Our darkest days are ahead of us’: Biden
“And here’s the simple truth, our darkest days in the battle against COVID are ahead of us, not behind us.
“So we need to prepare ourselves, to steel our spines.
“No time to waste in taking the steps we need to turn this crisis around. My administration will start to do this, its part, on our first day in office, with masking requirements, a new strategy for testing, accelerated protection and protective gear.
“We’re going to challenge Congress, and the American people, to step up immediately as well to do their part.”
COVID Relief Bill Included $600 for Americans and $10 Million for Pakistani Gender Programs
In the House, the COVID relief bill and a $1.4 trillion spending bill to fund the government were voted on separately, but in the Senate, those bills were combined.
Apparently, they couldn’t get Senators to vote to give a meager $600 to Americans they put out of work unless the bill also included things like $700 million dollars for Sudan, making “illegal” streaming a felony, and 10 million dollars for gender programs in Pakistan. Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
People are still digging all sorts of ridiculous things out of the bill.
Joe Biden’s Deputies Urge Intending Foreign Migrants to Be Patient
“Migrants and asylum seekers absolutely should not believe those in the region peddling the idea that the border will suddenly be fully open to process everyone on Day 1,” said Susan Rice, who is expected to be Biden’s top domestic policy chief.
“It will take months to develop the capacity that we will need to reopen fully.”
Neither official suggested any migrants would be rejected by their proposed “establishing a fair, humane, and orderly immigration system.”
President Donald Trump is denying asylum to migrants “rather than helping create alternative pathways to protection,” said Sullivan. “That is just not who we are as a country.”

Peter Navarro on Newsmax TV: Stolen Election ‘Brass Knuckle Politics’
Exposing the “chessboard” of the stolen election, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Newsmax TV rebuked the “Democrat Party strategic blueprint for toppling” President Donald Trump.
“The top line here is very simple: The Democrat Party, as a coordinated strategy across six battleground states – you’ve got Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – a coordinated strategy to stuff the ballot box with mail-in and absentee ballots, and do it in a way where they bend and often break the law,” Navarro told Monday’s “Greg Kelly Reports.”

Tucker Carlson: What if the ‘Woke Brain Virus’ Began to Infect the Military?
Commentary/Opinion:
Monday, FNC’s Tucker Carlson warned of the consequences of the so-called “woke” trend underway becoming more prevalent in the U.S. military.
Carlson pointed to examples of the push against meritocracy in the name of diversity and inclusion in the U.S. Armed Forces, which could be accelerated under a Biden administration.
“Over the weekend, MSNBC assembled a panel of the usual highly credentialed geniuses to plan Joe Biden’s presidential candidate. Watch this and notice the criteria they’re using to staff your Federal government.”

Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano warned Biden and Democrats are using the COVID lockdown model to prepare for “climate lockdowns” in an interview Monday night with FOX News host Tucker Carlson.
“What they’re trying to do, you saw Biden elude to it there with ‘Build Back Better.’ They’re trying to essentially use the COVID lockdown model for the climate emergency model.
And they are going to go from COVID lockdowns to climate lockdowns,” Morano said.

China Imposes New Visa Limits in Back-and-forth with US
The visa action came in response to a State Department announcement Monday that said the U.S. will deny visas to Chinese Communist Party officials whose policies or actions are aimed at repressing religious groups, ethnic minorities, dissidents or others.

Wang also said China opposed the Tibetan Policy and Support Act, which calls for the establishment of a U.S. consulate in Tibet as well as support for Tibetans to choose the next Dalai Lama, their spiritual leader, on their own.
37,000 Migrants Lost After Skipping Bail or Fleeing Detention Centres
The figures showed that in total, 37,302 foreign nationals have gone unaccounted for over the past three decades until the end of September this year, the Mail on Sunday reported.
The Home Office failures mean that a group of migrants equivalent to the entire population of British towns such as Redcar in North Yorkshire or Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire is now missing.
In response to the figures, Migration Watch Chairman Alp Mehmet said: “This is a shocking failure.
It is ridiculous to intercept those crossing the Channel illegally or after they emerge from the back of lorries, only to turn them loose to disappear into the undergrowth of the shadow economy.

American Medical Association Approves Hydroxychloroquine
We warned this would happen and now it has. All year the liberal media has attacked Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, especially his endorsement of hydroxycloroquine as an effective treatment.
Now that Democrats believe the election is all over, their disgusting hypocrisy is reaching new heights!
The American Medical Association has amended their recommendations regarding Hydroxychloroquine, reversing their previous warning that a drug in common use for seven decades was somehow now dangerous.
This comes after the 2020 election, of course.
If they admitted the truth about HCQ before the election, it would have benefitted President Trump who has been recommending it for months.
