Tuesday and we’ve hit the middle of the last month of 2020. Hard to believe that this year will all be over in two weeks. Well, except for the 20 days after that. And depending on what happens on January 20, we could be in for a repeat of 2020, only bigger and longer.

I remember when Barack Obama was sworn in in 2009. I was standing in my company’s cafeteria watching the inauguration on large screens along with probably another hundred employees. As soon as he completed his oath of office most of the crowd burst into applause and cheers. I noticed that those cheering and clapping the loudest were the blacks, which was completely understandable, and I marveled at what was, for them, a defining moment.

I did not cheer or applaud, but stood silently at the back of the gathering. I was opposed to Obama and voted Republican because I didn’t trust him. I realized that he had four years in front of him, and I would have to simply grind it out and hope that he didn’t do too much damage while in office. As it turned out, I had to grit my teeth for eight years, and then for another four as the soft coup he set in motion against his successor played out.

Believe me, I know what it’s like to want the current occupant out of the Oval Office. I can understand the relief that Democrats and their supporters are feeling today, because I felt it when both Clinton and Obama left office. But I’m not feeling the same level of tolerance toward Joe Biden.

Yesterday the Electoral College gave him 306 electoral votes, effectively making him the incoming president. Joe took to the airwaves after the vote and made much hay out of his victory, noting that his electoral votes were the same that president Trump received in 2016. Because Trump called his victory then a “landslide,” Biden also suggested that his victory was a landslide, too.

Gag me.

Listening to Biden was like hearing nails on a chalkboard. Not so much the screech they make, but the involuntary physical reaction the noise provokes in your gut.

Technically, Biden is not the president-elect, even with the Electoral College “win” yesterday. That can’t officially happen until January 6, when Congress meets and certifies the election. But there’s a few things that might prevent that from happening.

First is the report from the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to be delivered by this Friday, December 18. If they find that there was foreign interference in our elections, then the results cannot stand. How that will be resolved, I don’t know, but this is truly an unprecedented moment.

Next, The Epoch Times reported that,

Republican electors in four states said on Dec. 14 that they would cast their procedural votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the latest update contesting the results of the 2020 election.

Republican electors in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona all said they voted for Trump. It comes as their states formally appointed Democratic electors who voted for Democrat Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

In Michigan, two separate slates of electors were cast: 16 for Trump and 16 for Biden.

My limited understanding is that objections to the electoral votes is resolved in the House and the Senate, with vice-president Mike Pence in a position to break a tie vote.

There’s another way that this can be resolved, too. No one wants to think too much about it, because it’s unpleasant. There are tens of millions of Americans who believe this election was riddled with fraud.

Democrats say 98 – 2 percent they think Biden’s election victory is legitimate and independents say 62 – 30 percent his victory is legitimate. Republicans, however, say 70 – 23 percent that they think Biden’s victory is not legitimate.

Those same millions aren’t jazzed about the agenda Dementia Joe and his sidekick Kamala have planned for the U.S., either: eliminating the filibuster in the Senate, packing the Supreme Court, adding Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. as new states. It’s a radical makeover that will be conducted by Executive Orders and a disregard for precedent.

The only way to fend of the radical changes will be through violent means, and I believe that’s where we’re headed no matter what the ultimate outcome of the election is.
