NOT!-----Harvard Professor Says He's Rallied Nearly Enough GOP Electors To Block Trump

Harvard Professor Says He's Rallied Nearly Enough GOP Electors To Block Trump | Zero Hedge
"...At this point, the effort appears to be more about undermining Trump, complicating his ability to govern and following personal convictions — and less about actually winning the Electoral College for another candidate.
*  *  *
As we detailed earlier, Donald Trump could have the election legally stolen from him on either December 19th when the Electoral College casts their votes or on January 6th when a joint session of Congress gathers to count those votes
As The Economic Collapse blog's Michael Snyder notes, the establishment is in full-blown panic mode at this point, and they seem to have settled on "Russian interference in the election" as the angle that they will use to unleash this 'soft coup' as today, the Hill reports more Democratic electors are joining the call for an intelligence briefing before they cast their votes for president on Monday.
Twenty-nine electors now are pressuring Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to disclose more information about the CIA’s conclusion that Russian interference helped sway the election in President-elect Donald Trump’s favor.
...Twenty-eight Democrats and one Republican have now signed the letter.
On Monday, the Clinton campaign voiced support for the effort.
“Each day that month, our campaign decried the interference of Russia in our campaign and its evident goal of hurting our campaign to aid Donald Trump,” said John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, in a statement.

“Despite our protestations, this matter did not receive the attention it deserved by the media in the campaign. We now know that the CIA has determined Russia's interference in our elections was for the purpose of electing Donald Trump. This should distress every American.”
But ultimately, as The Economic Collapse blog's Michael Snyder warns, this is not about Russian interference in our election.
Rather, this is all about the elite doing whatever is necessary to stop Donald Trump.  
The elite are going to fight against him every step of the way, and they are never, ever going to give up.  
This is a point that I made during an interview with Alex Jones on Monday

The next key date that we need to be watching for is December 19th..."

List of Countries That Interfered In The Election For Hillary Clinton | The Federalist Papers

List of Countries That Interfered In The Election For Hillary Clinton | The Federalist Papers:

"Hillary Clinton’s campaign has now inserted itself into the calls to investigate the election based on the Russian boogeyman scenario they and the left put forward — with no evidence — during the election. In response to this move, Tim Young tweeted a list of all the countries that “interfered” in the election for Clinton via the family slush fund.

Study identifies why some people can smell asparagus in urine

Study identifies why some people can smell asparagus in urine:
"In The BMJ's Christmas edition this week, a study identifies the genetic origin of the ability to smell the strong, characteristic odor in human urine produced after eating asparagus.
A team of U.S. and European researchers found hundreds of variants in the DNA sequence across multiple genes involved in sense of smell that are strongly associated with the ability to detect asparagus metabolites in urine.
...Asparagus is considered a delicacy, but it's also known to produce a distinctive odor in urine.
Not everyone can detect the odour of metabolites (methanethiol and S-methyl thioesters) produced by consumption of asparagus.
...Findings show that 40% (2,748/6,909) of participants agreed that they could smell a distinct odor in their urine after eating asparagus, and 60% (4,161/6,909) said they could not and were labelled as 'asparagus anosmic'.
The researchers linked information from genome wide association studies on over 9 million genetic variants with the asparagus anosmia trait.
They discovered 871 particular variations in DNA sequence, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms, on chromosome 1 which were associated with being asparagus anosmic. These genetic variants were found in several different genes responsible for sense of smell.
They also found that a higher proportion of women reported they were unable to detect the odor, compared to men, despite women being known to more accurately and consistently identify smells..."

Anti-Trump Elector Chris Suprun Paid For Ashley Madison While Bankrupt And Married With 3 Kids

Anti-Trump Elector Chris Suprun Paid For Ashley Madison While Bankrupt And Married With 3 Kids | Zero Hedge:
"Anti-Trump Texas faithless elector Stephen Christopher “Chris” Suprun, who wrote a widely-shared op-ed in The New York Times about his decision, in which"

  • he claimed ideological superiority over Trump, which would prevent him from voting for the President-elect on December 19 as he is required, 
  • joined and paid for cheating website Ashley Madison in 2012, using the same address registered to his 9/11 charity, 
  • while bankrupt, likely unemployed, and married with three young kids, 
  • after he and his working wife owed over $200,000 to multiple creditors — and that’s just the start of it.

Image result for Stephen Christopher “Chris” SuprunGotNews’ research into Suprun’s bizarre and unexplained flip-flop against President-elect Donald J. Trump turned up Ashley Madison data, damning bankruptcy records, and a series of P.O. boxes and what appears to be an association with a payday loan scam site.
What is going on here?
There’s a lot to go through, so bear with us and keep reading..."

US Energy Department balks at Trump request for names on climate change - AOL News

US Energy Department balks at Trump request for names on climate change - AOL News:

"WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department said on Tuesday it will not comply with a request from President-elect Donald Trump's Energy Department transition team for the names of people who have worked on climate change and the professional society memberships of lab workers.

The response from the Energy Department could signal a rocky transition for the president-elect's energy team and potential friction between the new leadership and the staffers who remain in place."

Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked The Soviets To Intervene In 1984 Elections

Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked The Soviets To Intervene In 1984 Elections:
"Earlier this week, 47 Republican senators published an open letter informing the leaders of Iran that any nuclear deal with the United States that failed to be approved by the Senate would likely expire in 2017, once President Barack Obama’s term ended. You can read the full letter here.
The letter enraged progressives, who immediately began accusing the senators of treason for having the audacity to publish basic constitutional facts about how treaties work. 
Here is but a small sampling of the response from the outrage brigade:
Has anyone ever seen anything like that letter from Senate Repubs to Iran? How is that not treason? I'm really asking.
To Cotton-sticking Senate GOP: If Ds had done under a Republican POTUS what you did today, you would have been the first to cry "treason!"
For many liberals this morning, the word treason is defined as not giving Obama his way
If these progressives want to know what actual treason looks like, they should consult liberal lion Ted Kennedy, who not only allegedly sent secret messages to the Soviets in the midst of the cold war, he also begged them to intervene in a U.S. presidential election in order to unseat President Ronald Reagan. That’s no exaggeration.
According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990’s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedy’s communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit:

Yes, There Is Such a Thing As Professional Left-Wing Protesters

Yes, There Is Such a Thing As Professional Left-Wing Protesters | The Weekly Standard:
"Nebraska senator Ben Sasse has come under fire for this tweet:



















"....left-leaning pundits are declaring that Sasse is "laying the groundwork for an authoritarian crackdown." 
This is nonsense.
Earlier this year, MoveOn.org fundraised off of a promise to support protests of Donald Trump. 
"So here's the plan: We'll support MoveOn.org members to call out and nonviolently protest Trump's racist, bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, and violent behavior — and show the world that America rejects Trump's hate," according to a fundraising email. 
Image result for Professional Left-Wing Protesters"And to keep it going, we're counting on you to donate whatever you can to cover the costs of everything involved — the organizers, signs, online recruitment ads, training, and more."
And already, a left-wing group called the Progress Unity Fund is raising money to support protests of Trump's inauguration. 
Progress Unity Fund is a financial backer of International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), an organization that has long provided logistical and financial support for protests—particularly in D.C. and San Francisco. 
A.N.S.W.E.R.'s first big action was to protest the American invasion of Afghanistan in immediately following September 11. 
(It's perhaps notable that A.N.S.W.E.R. is an outgrowth of the communist Workers World Party, which supported the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.)
...Basically, since the WTO riots in Seattle in 1999 on through the Trump protests now, the left has been protesting with regularity and, naturally, there has been political infrastructure that has grown up around these protest movements. 
That's just a fact..."

UC-Denver offers course on 'Problematizing Whiteness'

UC-Denver offers course on 'Problematizing Whiteness':
  • The University of Colorado, Denver is offering a course called “Problematizing Whiteness: Educating for Racial Justice” during the 2017 spring semester.
  • The three-credit course, which aims to explore "the plight of people of color AND how Whites are also complicit in a system of race," fulfills the school's cultural diversity graduation requirement.
The three-credit course fulfills the cultural diversity requirement for students in the School of Education and Human Development, which is advertising the offering by posting flyers around campus and making the syllabus available online for students to view.
The course examines “the plight of people of color AND how Whites are also complicit in a system of race.”   
“Critical Whiteness Studies addresses the need for a deeper analysis of race, one that accounts for both sides of the race coin, that of the plight of people of color AND how Whites are also complicit in a system of race,” declares a copy of the syllabus that was provided to Campus Reform. “Therefore, this class takes a deeper look into how race operates within White contexts and how such operations ultimately impacts people of color. By doing so, we bridge how Whites AND people of color can collectively work together towards a racially equitable society.”
The instructor, Dr. Cheryl Matias, also teaches other courses dealing with racial inequities, and has received multiple awards for promoting diversity in academia.
One student, who wishes to remain anonymous, questioned whether the subject matter would actually be productive, telling Campus Reform that “when our University offers classes about ‘problematizing whiteness,’ it is hard to really believe that we [Caucasian male students] are really being the oppressive ones.”
The first assignment for the course is called “Getting Down and Dirty with Whiteness,” and requires students to write a paper answering the question, “what have you learned about whiteness and how does it apply to what you see in life?”
The course, which was officially created in May, will be available to undergraduate and graduate students at UC Denver and Metropolitan State during the Spring 2017 semester.
Campus Reform reached out to Matias for comment, as instructed by the flyer, but received an automatic reply stating that she is on leave until the Spring 2017 semester.
