Trump suggested McConnell and Senate Republicans haven’t worked hard enough to assure him a second term

President Trump on Saturday accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republicans of failing to fight on his behalf regarding the outcome of the 2020 presidential election – which Trump continues to argue was "Rigged & Stolen."

The president’s latest claims came just 25 days ahead the scheduled Jan. 20 inauguration of Democrat Joe Biden, following the Nov. 3 election and a Dec. 14 vote by the Electoral College that all but confirmed Biden’s victory. Only a Jan. 6 session on Capitol Hill – at which lawmakers are expected to accept the election results – stands between Trump and the conclusion of his time in the White House.

It didn’t have to be that way, Trump suggested Saturday, alleging that McConnell and Senate Republicans haven’t worked hard enough to assure him a second term.

"If a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, with proof of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING, just want to let it pass. NO FIGHT!"

In another tweet, the president also accused the Justice Department and FBI of abandoning him. Attorney General William Barr, who led the DOJ, served his final day in the post Wednesday after announcing his resignation.

"The ‘Justice’ Department and the FBI have done nothing about the 2020 Presidential Election Voter Fraud, the biggest SCAM in our nation’s history, despite overwhelming evidence," Trump asserted. "They should be ashamed. History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th."

In a previous tweet Dec. 19, Trump had invited his supporters to attend a "Big protest in D.C." on the day that Congress is scheduled to accept the election results.

"Be there, will be wild!" Trump wrote at the time.

In subsequent tweets Saturday, Trump railed about a lack of results from Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, and derided the U.S. Supreme Court as being "totally incompetent and weak" regarding his allegations of election fraud. (Legal efforts by the Trump 2020 Campaign and Republicans in some state-level legal disputes have largely failed to produce victories on voter-fraud claims.)

President Trump called out Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by name Saturday as he accused Republicans of not fighting hard enough on his behalf.

Later Saturday, Trump again urged Senate Republicans to "step up and fight for the Presidency," claiming his bid for a second term was thwarted by "Massive late night mail-in ballot drops in swing states, stuffing the ballot boxes (on video), double voters, dead voters."

Many of Trump’s tweets on Saturday carried a disclaimer affixed by Twitter, saying "This claim about election fraud is disputed."

Also on Saturday, Trump defended his legal team after reports that potential sanctions against them were being pursued by Dana Nessel, the Michigan attorney general, after the Trump campaign had disputed that swing state’s election results, which were in favor if Biden.

"These lawyers are true patriots who are fighting for the truth and, obviously, getting very close," Trump wrote. "AG should be sanctioned. Fight on!"

It remained unclear whether Trump’s call for action would be heeded by McConnell and other top Republicans.

After the Electoral College vote Dec. 14, the majority leader referred to Biden as "president-elect" for the first time, suggesting he was ready to accept the Democrat becoming the nation’s chief executive in January.

"The Electoral College has spoken, so today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden," McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor Dec. 15, one day after electors voted. "The president-elect is no stranger to the Senate. He's devoted himself to public service for many years."

Some other Republicans followed suit.

"At some point, you have to face the music," Sen. John Thune of South Dakota told The Associated Press on Dec. 14. "Once the Electoral College settles the issue today, it’s time for everybody to move on."

Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, chairman of the inaugural committee, said the panel will now "deal with Vice President Biden as the president-elect."

As for Democrats, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly told members of her party she was determined to make sure Trump leaves office Jan. 20.

"I plan to pull him out of there by his hair, his little hands and his feet," Pelosi said, according to Politico.

Taylor Swift: 'White supremacy is repulsive. There is nothing worse'

  Taylor Swift says she is focused on the 2020 election but ‘I do feel that the celebrity involvement with Hillary’s campaign was used against her’. Photograph: Dimitrios Kambouris/VMN19/Getty Images for MTV After years of keeping herself at a largely indifferent remove, Taylor Swift has elaborated on her political ideology in a new  interview  with Rolling Stone. Harkening back to the perceived better times of the Obama years, Swift said, among other things, that she regrets not getting more involved in the 2016 election, and the way her allegiances or lack thereof have been manipulated by bad actors.

The Akan are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa. Their population is scattered across West Africa and beyond.  Origin of Africa Among this huge population of the Akan, the Ghanaians are more popular, perhaps because of the political influence of the Ashanti Empire in the area.

GARDEN OF EDEN FOUND IN WEST AFRICA - Onyeji Nnaji

-
Image
Copied from the Book; " Reality as Myth " by Onyeji Nnaji The beauty of the discovering of the Radar Rivers and their channels is that it disproves the western hegemonic claim of the Euphrates valley being the position of the birth of the great river, all the points that opposed their claims notwithstanding. Even God himself was very perfect in His creation by placing them in their positions, hierarchically, according to their birth. The first river that flowed located the Havilah land where there are good quality gold, bdellium and fine onyx stones. Pison was the oldest of the rivers and it flowed through the land of the southern Africa. The second river flowed northward to Ethiopia. It was when Africa had been overtaken by virtue of her proximity to the Great Water that other parts of the world began to encounter the remaining river; remarkable with Hiddekel.  Subscribe to  ajuede.com  to be updated on our posts on dailies.   The major problem...

  Marine lieutenant colonel initially jailed for posting videos critical of the U.S. military’s leadership regarding the withdrawal from Afghanistan will go to trial on Oct. 14-15 at Camp Lejeune near Jacksonville, North Carolina, the Marine Corps announced on Friday. The special court martial hearing for Lt. Col.

Some Egyptian fans feel the frequent reports of protests by Nigerian players about non-payment of match allowances and bonuses are not doing the African continent any good. Within the last two months, Nigerian teams taking part in international competitions have protested over alleged non-payment of entitlements by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). From the Flying Eagles’ participation at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland, the Super Falcons involvement at the yet to be concluded FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and the Super Eagles’ campaign in the Egypt 2019 AFCON, it has been one squabble over alleged unpaid allowances or another. At the Cairo Stadium on Wednesday night, where the Pharaohs of Egypt defeated Congo 2-0 to move into the round of 16, the issue of Super Eagles’ protests over unpaid wages was the major topic by some of the fans. Those who spoke with The Guardian carpeted the Nigerian players for turning their participation at major championships into ...

TYPES OF PREPOSITION - Onyeji Nnaji

-
Image
                  INTRODUCTION In the history of syntax, prepositions alongside other parts of speech are considered as one of the esteemed contributions of the sophists (the itinerant teachers) to the development of the human language. Etymologically, the term “preposition” belonged to the group of word class Aristotle, the founder, referred to as “syndesmoi”. Others in this group are conjunction , article and pronoun . They were thus grouped by Aristotle because they were found to be performing related functions that are summed up in binding terms and exposing the gaps amidst sentences when they are not included. As a plural term, “syndesmoi” is a collective noun that stands for the group while, conjunction , the part of speech that binds together the discourse and finds gaps in its interpretation was called “syndesmos” (see Robins, 1968). Indicating the function of prepositions, Aristotle called it “Prothesis” (a part of speech...

THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF NSUKKA by Onyeji Nnaji

There are four generations…, and the fourth generation, which is the most exalted, is kingless and perfect. These people will enter the holy place of their Father and they will reside in rest … They are kings. They are the immortal within the mortal                      ( The Nag Hammadi, 219 ) O ne of the African homes that colonialism has completely deformed beyond certain level of recognition is Nsukka. Colonialism apart, the most affecting factor to the survival of the meaning which the rich cultural enclave, Nsukka, carries will best be blamed on postcolonial political structure. The biggest harm all these have against Nsukka as a people is that they rubbed her of the meaning of her name; their place of origin; how their fathers managed to come into their present abodes and who their ancestors were. A profound understanding of the excerpt above will open the door towards deciphering the meaning and origin of the people call...
