WITH REMARKABLE SYNCHONRICITY, big media organizations, including Fox, call race for Biden.
This of course has no legal standing, and the recounts and challenges will continue unless Trump concedes, but it was probably timed to step on Trump’s election fraud presser.
UPDATE: Yep.
This is what they’re distracting from:
What happened to “count all the votes?”

MORE ON THE AMERICAN’S LEFT’S PHLEGM FATALE: Revealed: Female anti-Trump protester, 24, who spat in a cop’s face in NYC and shouted ‘f*** you fascist’ was an intern for high-ranking Democratic Congressman Jerry Nadler.
I’m not sure why I have to go to a British paper’s Website for that detail. Oh wait, yes I am:
Earlier: NYC coddles the privileged, pain-in-ass anarchists who spit on cops.

And speaking of election overtime:
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): And “count every vote” means “no point counting after the media call the race for our guy.”
IN THE MAIL: CIA Lock Picking Manual.
AMERICA’S NEWSPAPER OF RECORD: Rioters Demand A Recount. “‘I was all ready to do my Christmas shopping, and then Biden won,’ said a dejected rioter as he stood there with an unlit Molotov cocktail. ‘How am I supposed to pick up a new Xbox now that Trump lost? Ugh. And I might not have another opportunity for these kinds of deals until 2024!’”
INSTITUTIONAL RACISM ON DISPLAY: Professor defends required ethnic studies courses, say they combat ‘white fragility.’
NOW THAT THE BLACKLIST HAS ARRIVED, WILL SHOW TRIALS BE NEXT? The Left’s Post-Trump Enemies List:
“Yes, we are,” answered former Obama administration staffer Michael Simon, citing the Trump Accountability Project. “Every Administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer who represented them — everyone.”
This is totalitarian, straight up. It’s a freaking blacklist! I don’t know yet who specifically is behind this. A former Buttigieg staffer is claiming to be part of it:
We’re launching the Trump Accountability Project to make sure anyone who took a paycheck to help Trump undermine America is held responsible for what they did.

GLAAD, the well-funded gay activist group, has a something called the Trump Accountability Project. I’m not sure it’s the same exact entity, but they are doing the same thing: compiling a blacklist.
As Jim Treacher warned last year: Pete Buttigieg Wants to Free You from Freedom.
Orwell wept.
I don’t know where Pete gave this speech, but he might be breaking the law because Indiana still hasn’t legalized marijuana. For a guy who speaks so many languages, he needs to brush up on his English.
So freedom means getting things from the government? Freedom means everybody has to approve of, if not actively participate in, your personal choices? Freedom means you put responsibility for your own feelings in the hands of law-enforcement officers? Freedom means you should be able to kill as many babies as you want, for any reason or no reason at all?
“Your neighbor can make you unfree.” Sure, if he locks me up in his basement. Short of that, what in the world does this mean, Pete?
And hold on a second… your cable company can make you unfree? Since when? I know Pete was only born in 1982, but if he’s as well-read as his supporters claim he is, he must know that Americans managed to survive for hundreds of years with no cable companies at all.
Freedom doesn’t mean being free from anything bad ever happening to you. It doesn’t mean being free from fear, or need, or want. Most of the things Pete lists aren’t a loss of freedom. They’re the price of freedom.
As some old dead white guy once said: “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take away everything you have.”
Not surprisingly, AOC is onboard as well: ‘Scratch a socialist, find a fascist’: AOC threatening to archive the tweets, writings, pics of ‘Trump sycophants’ does not go well for her, like at all.
AOC had an even zanier than usual day yesterday: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants The Lincoln Project to fund Black organizers ‘who are probably short on rent this month.’
I hope the Lincoln Project enjoys discovering what their newfound “friends” on the left thinks about them, now that the election is (or soon could be) over.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. “They want a gracious concession — after the counting and litigation — but they never mention how ungracious the Democrats were when Trump won in 2016. Did they ever concede that Trump won and stand back and acknowledge that he legitimately held the power of the presidency?” No, they constantly told everyone not to “normalize” his presidency.
And who can forget Al Gore’s graceless un-concession in 2000, which injected a poison that still festers within the body politic.
THIS COULD BE THE MOST VIP SUPREME COURT CASE TO WATCH THIS TERM: Attorneys from the Alliance Defending Freedom representing a Nevada congregation have petitioned the Supreme Court to decide whether officials can explicitly discriminate against Christians (and, by extension, any other form of religious expression) while using public health as a justification for throwing aside the First Amendment.
AND MAYBE A BIT DISAPPOINTED: UW ‘surprised’ to find that most students aren’t racist.
EARLY OPEN THREAD: Discuss things here.
FORT LEE GETS A FACE LIFT: A mortar and cannon carriage face the Hudson River from the reconstructed barbette battery at Fort Lee Historic Park, Fort Lee, N.J.
It’s 2020 — apparently CNN is doing national Voight-Kampff testing now.
WHEN PEOPLE SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE, BELIEVE THEM: AOC and Democrats are eager to archive records, make lists to ensure Trump allies face ‘accountability.’
They always want to treat political opposition as a crime.
UPDATE: Yep.
WHEN YOU ONLY KNOW ONE PLAY, THAT’S THE PLAY YOU RUN: Trump won record minority support — yet the left is calling it ‘racism.’
FAT LADY ISN’T SINGING YET: Trump shrinks Arizona gap to 30K votes with 173K left to count: Secretary.
GOOD QUESTION: If Trump runs in 2024, could any Republican beat him?
CAN I CALL ‘EM, OR CAN I CALL ‘EM?
QUESTION ASKED: Did Hunter Biden Help Facilitate NBCUniversal’s Beijing Theme Park?
Portions of Hunter Biden’s hard drive have now been shared with TAC. On the drive is an email from president of Rosemont Seneca Eric Schwerin, a company co-founded by Hunter and John Kerry’s stepson, saying that Chinese state-owned enterprise CITIC was hoping they would make introductions with Universal employees and propose the Beijing theme park.
“They’d like an introduction to Universal (Comcast) as they’d like to open a Universal Studios China theme park outside of Beijing,” Schwerin writes. “As I said, that one should be easy via Melissa Mayfield/David Cohen [two Comcast executives].”
Flashbacks:
● Biden Sold Out America To China While Working For Hollywood.
● China’s Long Tentacles Extend Deep Into American Media. “Comcast Corporation is not only the participator of the increasingly close cultural exchanges, but also the contributor and beneficiary of deeper economic exchanges between China and the US. The NBC and the Universal Studios Theme Park in Beijing are witnesses of the in-depth development of Sino-US economic and trade relations and increasingly close cultural exchanges.”
As Jim Geraghty wrote in October, when the CCP-NBA connection exposed for millions of Americans to see: We’re Not Exporting Our Values to China — We’re Importing Theirs.
