Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday said there has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, undercutting President Trump’s repeated baseless claims to the contrary.
“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr told The Associated Press in an interview.

People have picked up on some of the outside or secondary dimensions of the BBQ standoff.
The tight COVID regime has much to do with it, certainly. But leaking through the high thoughts about public health and personal responsibility are strands of comment and observation far distant from either.
In one California county, residents turn to privately organized community groups for defense and support.
The riots of this past year are unprecedented in scope and duration, and they occurred with the support of many elected officials and with funding from big corporations. This is shocking since these violent actions are based on a fabricated narrative that all cops are racist and America itself is “systemically racist.” The two main groups responsible for this violence, Black Lives Matter and Antifa, are not motivated only by police shootings but by an attempt to transform America into an authoritarian socialist nation. Racial unrest is their vehicle. Their actions have led to thousands of businesses destroyed — many of them minority-owned — at least 30 people killed, and over 700 police officers injured. Given this level of violence and destruction, it is not surprising to see the rise of community defense groups.
More cops mean less crime. This is one of the most robust findings of empirical criminology, supported by study after study since at least the late 1990s. But researchers still debate how, exactly, this effect comes about. Does increasing the number of officers reduce offenses by increasing the number of crimes solved, or by deterring offenders from committing crimes in the first place?
When was the last time you wondered if your food was safe to eat? Sure, in the dystopian weirdness of 2020 “COVID world” – people enjoy “contactless delivery” and online shopping for groceries – but did you really question if your ground beef was contaminated? Get ready to do so. It is the most under-reported story you have never heard of.
There is an increasing food security threat to the beef industry and the American people. That threat is part of a mosaic of corruption and criminality involving modern-day cattle rustling, Mexican cartel drug smuggling and money laundering. All told, hundreds of millions of dollars are in play. A number of corrupt officials along the way facilitate the transactions and perpetuate our 50+ year-long “War on Drugs” that we can never quite seem to win. The public corruption angle to this story is the subject of a current, ongoing investigation by Judicial Watch.
Ten local Black Lives Matter chapters issued a statement Monday accusing the movement’s national arm of providing little to no financial support to its local chapters, which are responsible for carrying out BLM’s mission.

Facebook’s Oversight Board has chosen its first batch of cases to review.
All involve decisions originally made by the platform to remove user content.
They include images of female breasts in a post about breast cancer, and an image of a dead child alongside text about whether retaliation was justified against China for its treatment of Uighur Muslims.
The board said Facebook users had submitted 20,000 suggested incidents for review since October 2020.
The killing of Iran’s top nuclear scientist has exposed security gaps which suggest its security forces may have been infiltrated and that the Islamic Republic is vulnerable to further attacks.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s killing on Friday followed two other big security lapses — the theft of Iran’s nuclear archive and a fire at a nuclear facility this year that some Iranian officials blamed on cyber sabotage.
With Fakhrizadeh the fifth Iranian nuclear scientist killed in targeted attacks since 2010, security experts are suggesting Iran’s enemies have found its Achilles’ heel.
No worry, Xi is a Mullah backer he’ll see to it that China Joe fixes that for them.
The deputy leader of the British Labour Party, Angela Rayner, has threatened that thousands of members could be expelled from the party an effort to purge anti-Semitism from their ranks.
On Sunday, Mrs Rayner told members of the party that Labour has to “get real” about anti-Semitism after a Jewish member was forced to leave a constituency party meeting in Nottingham due to a “hostile” environment as some pushed for a restoration of the whip to former leader Jeremy Corbyn.

A Hungarian MEP who co-founded Viktor Orban’s anti-LGBT Fidesz party has resigned after he was caught breaking lockdown to attend a mostly-male orgy in Brussels.
Jozsef Szajer, a founding member of Fidesz, allegedly tried to flee the 25-strong orgy through a window as police busted in on Friday night, attempting to shin down a drainpipe but hurting himself in the process.
Caught by cops he then tried to claim diplomatic immunity before being let off with a warning. Many of the men inside were ‘stripped and naked’ as they tried to flee, according to police – while local media reported that the ‘naked’ party attendees also included EU diplomats, who have not been identified.
