Pennsylvania Judge Patricia A. McCullough Rules, Election Likely Unconstitutional – Trump Case “Likelihood to Succeed” – Gives State Legislators Power to Choose Electors
Eric Thompson Eric Thompson
1 hour ago

Finally, a judge who considered the plain language of the Constitution rules in favor of the Trump administration.

After several defeats in Pennsylvania, Trump’s team argued that the PA Governor and Secretary of State did not have the authority to extend the mail-in ballot deadline to 3 days after the election date set by the PA state legislature of November 3rd. All ballots including mail-in are required by state law to be in by the close of election day, period.

Tonight Pennsylvania Judge Patricia A. McCullough ruled that the Pennsylvania preliminary ELECTION CERTIFICATION injunction was PROPERLY ISSUED and should be upheld.



McCullough added this, “Additionally, petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed.”

Today’s ruling follows up on the order Judge McCullough issued on Wednesday.

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania — A Pennsylvania appeals court judge, Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough, ordered state officials on Wednesday to halt any further steps toward certifying election results, a day after Gov. Tom Wolf said he had certified Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

Judge McCullough issued the order and set a hearing for Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear if she intended to hold up the certification of state and local contests on the ballot or interrupt the scheduled Dec. 14 meeting of the state’s 20 electors.

Twitter followers were quick to announce the beaking news.

CelebritiesA Touching Interview With Billionaire Femi Otedola by farem(op): 10:35am On Nov 28, 2020
Permit me to share. The season of goodwill is here. This story is instructive.

I am a football fan not a fanatic.
The death of this golden legend called Diego Maradona got me wondering about the essence of life. Little wonder when billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter
"Sir what can you remember made you a happiest man in life?"
Femi said:
I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend request, I immediately bought wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.

There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt REAL joy inside me.

When I decided to leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
"I want to remember your face so that when I meet you in heaven, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again"


What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?

This got me thinking. I pray it does same to everyone.

ImoStarWatch:
Seasons greetings fellow nairalanders, I have come to seek solution for a problem that wants to lead me to depression.

My story goes this way;
When I was in primary school, what was reigning among the parents in my school then was encouraging their wards to stop at primary 5 and jump to secondary school. And that exactly was my case (I jumped primary 6 to secondary school) which made me not to write the First School leaving Certificate (FSLC) exam.

During our WAEC registeration in SS3 was when I told our counsellor about it (that I didn't sit for FSLC exam) and she shouted and encouraged me to go to a nearby primary school and register for it.
My mum and I did as the counselor instructed and registered for the FSLC exam the same year I registered for my WAEC. The headmaster argued that I'm too old to write the exam thus my younger sister wrote it for me.

Now I'm a University graduate (completed my Nysc).
A family friend gave me a replacement slot in one federal parastal and when I submitted my credentials to her, she noticed that my FSLC and waec are of the same date. She complained about it and told me that I may encounter problem on the way (ie that the recruitment may not be successful or that I may have issues in future even if I'm finally recruited. I was depressed after hearing that.

So I came here to seek for advice and clarification from people that are already in the system. PLEASE HOW CAN I ESCAPE BEING SCREENED OUT EITHER NOW OR WHEN I'M FINALLY EMPLOYED?

Pardon my typos. Insults are allowed.
You have been cutting corners since 1829AD. How are we sure you wrote the waec yourself sef

Even your Kamala Harris, the so-called Vice-President Elect, has not given up her Senate Seat in the U.S Senate.

Ideally she should have retired her seat after "winning' the election. So it quite strange that she has not retired.

Why has she not done so?

Perhaps it is because she is taking Trump's refusal to concede defeat seriously. Something for those who say Trump conceding is not important. She apparently thinks it is important.

Perhaps it is because she knows WHAT IS COMING or what MIGHT COME by way of revelations from court cases which could potentially halt their premature celebration.

Perhaps she does not yet feel secure in her victory.

One thing is certain; she is hedging her bets.

Most likely for good reasons but here you're suffering from political blindness

TRUMP: A Threat To Democracy?

For the past few days I have read some really idiotic comments on this platform.

'Trump needs to concede before he destroys American Democracy because of his personal ego'.

'Trump is a bastard who is destroying American Democracy because he lost an election'.

These � are ill-informed and unfortunate comments. It evinces the ignorance of the makers.

First and foremost, the USA is not a Democracy.

Like Plato, the Founding Fathers of America hated Absolute Democracies. They tagged it the "tyranny of the majority" and that is why they designed the ELECTORAL COLLEGE SYSTEM. A system deviced only in America to ensure that the minority has as much voice and representation as the majority. Only intellectual amateurs call America a Democracy. The USA is a Democratic and Constitutional Republic. That's that.

Now, saying Trump should concede to a fraudulent election for the sake of Democracy is itself Anti-Democratic.

Democracy is about Fairness, Equality of Persons (and Votes) before the Law, and Justice. Take all that away and what you have left is a caricature of democracy.

In other words, an unfair election where votes are not treated equally but rigged and where justice is not pursued is the very antithesis of Democracy. Trump would be undermining Democracy if he allowed such travesty to go uninvestigated, un-litigated and unpunished.

Folks, only the blind would argue and deny at this point that the 2020 USA Presidential Election was beset with widespread irregularities, malpractices, improprieties and even frauds. The data bear this out and even Steven Wonder can see them from afar.

I am not the brightest guy around but I'd like to believe I am not dumb either. I have made arguments in Courts that failed and some that won, meaning that smart people (Judges) thought I am capable of giving good arguments. That is to say that the experts sometimes tend to agree with me.

And they do even on this election.

Russel Ramsland is the Co-Owner of the Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG). His company specializes in detecting election fraud, cybersecurity, open source intelligence and global security services. He and his colleague, Dr. Andrew Appel, a Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University and an Election Security expert signed AN AFFIDAVIT stating that the MICHIGAN Election Results are a statistical and "physical impossibility". They are willing to put their integrity and in fact liberty on the line by signing an affidavit under the penalty of perjury just to make their case about the Michigan State election. Read below...

https://nationalfile.com/election-fraud-expert-michigans-election-results-are-physical-impossibility/

And then there is Steven Miller, a Yale and Princeton trained Math Professor who makes the case - again - in a SWORN AFFIDAVIT that approximately 100,000 ballots in PENNSYLVANIA election should be flagged for fraud. He discovered lots of mathematical and statistical anomalies in ballots requested and votes cast in the Battleground State and is willing to make that case under the penalty of perjury. Read below...

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/mathematics-prof-says-sworn-statement-many-56000-gop-ballots-pa-may-be

And then there is Doug Doucey, Governor of ARIZONA who has stated unequivocally that he would not accept the result of the Arizona Presidential Election until all legal and court cases are resolved.

And finally, there is James Edwin "Trey" Trainor, the Chairman of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), USA who has publicly declared the 2020 US Presidential Election as "illegitimate" and "unconstitutional" due to fraud.

Why did I single out Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona amongst other contested States?

Well, without those States Joe Biden WILL NOT become President. And these are heavily contested States with overwhelming data of vote fraud as demonstrated by mathematicians/statisticians from top-notch universities detailed in sworn affidavits before courts of law.

You may not like what I have been saying about this election NOT BEING OVER YET, but you are a fool if you ignore EXPERT EVIDENCE. An irredeemable kind.

How then do you expect Trump to concede in the face of such towering evidence?

Only a fool (like some) would concede defeat in such circumstances.

Standing up for what is right, for election integrity, for electoral justice is not a threat to Democracy. It is Democratic. Stop spewing rubbish!

Trump should fight and fight till the end. Democracy and posterity deserve the fight.

And dont forget that I haven't even mentioned the States of Georgia and Wisconsin which are now being litigated and going through recounts respectively.

Many of you want an illusion of peace, but remember that the peace you enjoy today is possible because your forefathers died for Democracy and for the Republic. In other words, they were willing and ready to keep up the fight till the end.

The Nigerian government, through the ministry of petroleum resources, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Niger Republic for petroleum products importation.

According to a statement released by the ministry, Soraz Refinery in Zinder, Niger Republic, has an installed refining capacity of 20,000 barrels per day compared to the nation’s 5,000bpd domestic requirement.

This leaves a surplus of 15,000 barrels per day.

Mele Kyari, group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), signed the MoU on behalf of Nigeria while Alio Toune, director-general of Niger Republic’s National Oil Company, Societe Nigerienne De Petrole (SONIDEP), signed on behalf of his country.

The signing was witnessed by the ministers of state for petroleum of the two countries, Timipre Sylva for Nigeria and Foumakoye Gado for Niger Republic.

“This is a major step forward. The Niger Republic has some excess products which need to be evacuated. Nigeria has the market for these products. Therefore, this is going to be a win-win relationship for both countries,” Sylva said.

“My hope is that this is going to be the beginning of deepening trade relations between Niger Republic and Nigeria.”

In his remarks, Kyari said the two countries have had long engagements in the last four to five months with a view to restoring the importation of petroleum products (excess production) from Niger into Nigeria.

“With this development, we hope to have a long-lasting and sustainable commercial framework to have a pipeline from the Soraz Refinery in Zinder (Niger) into the most proximate Nigerian city so that we can develop a depot.

“We are happy that we have reached that conclusion and our two ministers have endorsed this framework. We are also working on a detailed MoU between our two companies so that we can continue the execution process immediately.”

Nigeria currently imports refined petroleum products despite having four refineries. As a result, scarce forex is spent to ensure that there is no scarcity in the country.

Government officials have expressed hopes that the 350,000 capacity Dangote refinery being constructed will end the era of petroleum products importation in Nigeria.
