The Daily Brief: Legislative Snapshot Saturday, Feb. 10th, 2024 "For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations." (Psalm 22:28) "We the People" "Standing United Together . . . Under the Cross of Christ" Today's Top Story  Biden lashes out at reporters asking about age concerns after special counsel report: 'That is your judgment!' Biden clashed with Fox News' Peter Doocy, reporters from CNN, NBC  President Biden lashed out at reporters following an address where he remained defiant following the release of Special Counsel Robert Hur's damning report that fueled more questions about his mental acuity.  At a last-minute White House press conference held Thursday night, Biden went off script and took questions from reporters at random instead of having a list of reporters pre-selected by staff like he often does. Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy was the first to catch Biden's attention.    "Something the special counsel said in his report is that one of the reasons you were not charged is because, in his description, you are a ‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,'" Doocy said. "I'm well-meaning and I'm an elderly man and I know what the hell I'm doing," Biden responded. "I've been president and I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation—" "How bad is your memory? And can you continue as president?" Doocy asked.  "My memory is so bad I let you speak," Biden shot back.  Washington Post reporter Tyler Pager asked Biden whether he was concerned that the report would "fuel further concern about your age," to which Biden swiped, "Only by some of you." The president later got into a combative exchange with CNN correspondent MJ Lee, who pressed him on his previous comments urging Americans to "watch me" when he's asked about his age. "Many [of the] American people have been watching, and they have expressed concerns about your age," Lee said. "That is your judgment!" Biden shouted at her. "That is your judgment! That is not the judgment of the press."

Holy God, we have now sunk to such a low in America . . .when even our own justice system cannot be trusted to govern according to the law. Help us, O Lord, we pray . . . as we repent, help us to find our way back to You. In Your Holy Name, amen and amen. - "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" (Amos 5:24)   ELECTION INTEGRITY   Mail-In Ballot Fraud Study Finds Trump ‘Almost Certainly’ Won in 2020 A new study examining the likely impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots had in the 2020 election concludes that the outcome would “almost certainly” have been different without the massive expansion of voting by mail. The Heartland Institute study tried to gauge the probable impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots cast for both then-candidate Joe Biden and his opponent, President Donald Trump, would have had on the overall 2020 election results. The study was based on data obtained from a Heartland/Rasmussen survey in December that revealed that roughly one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions in the presidential election. After the researchers carried out additional analyses of the data, they concluded that mail-in ballot fraud “significantly” impacted the 2020 presidential election. They also found that, absent the huge expansion of mail-in ballots during the pandemic, which was often done without legislative approval, President Trump would most likely have won. “Had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected,” the report’s authors wrote. Over 43 percent of 2020 votes were cast by mail, the highest percentage in U.S. history.  What Are the Implications? In addition to reassessing the likely overall degree of fraudulent mail-in ballots in the 2020 election, Heartland analysts calculated the potential impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots might have produced in the six key swing states that President Trump officially lost. This, then, was used to determine the impact of potentially fraudulent mail-in ballots on the overall 2020 election result. First, the researchers analyzed the electoral results for the six swing states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—under the 28.2 percent fraudulent mail-in ballot scenario that they estimated based on the raw survey data. Then they calculated the electoral results in the six states under the different scenarios, each with a lower assumed percentage of fraudulent ballots, ranging from 28.2 percent all the way down to 1 percent. Under such a scenario, President Trump would have won 289 Electoral College votes compared to candidate Biden’s 249.

This cannot stand! We cry out today for a clean election in November - including the close monitoring of the six swing states that stole the last election by deceitful means of counting all absentee votes. We say "NO MORE" in Jesus' name, amen and amen! - "‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’" (Job 38:10)  End-of-Week Wrap Up Written by Gary Bauer; American Values As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, donations to American Values are tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.
