A THREAD ON HOW BIDEN WON THE ELECTION: This is for all the people that don’t understand how Biden could possibly win and why Trump lost other than the fact that he just did so much wrong #WeirdoTrump

 First, we have to realize that all of Trumps lawsuits aren’t actually claiming fraud. He’s trying overturn the elections in court through technicalities within mail-in voting because he knows that he lost the mail in votes by an extensive margin.
On election night, Trump tried to prematurely claim victory due to the fact that most states counted in person ballots first, then early and then mail in. Trump knew this and was trying to make it seem that the results on election night represented the country as a whole /2
when it really just represented those who voted in person on Election Day, which tends to favor republicans heavily. Trump knew this would happen and knew that his numbers would dwindle throughout the next few days when mail-in and early ballots would begin to be counted. /3
Nearly all counting, opening, and scanning rooms had cameras available to the public. His few claims of fraud are based on little video evidence but rather what people say. Which would be trustworthy, if they claimed fraud in court, which they don’t. He has used all of these /4
hearings and affidavits to turn to state legislators rather the courts because in court these people are under the penalty of perjury. So ultimately, this was just a big ploy by Trump to overturn the election in a way that would smear the public’s trust in the election process /5
the country he is so obsessed with protecting from the “radical left”. His lawsuits will go nowhere, most legislators don’t believe him, and most sane Americans realize he’s a fraud.
But this begs the question, how did Biden actually win? /6
Other than the fact that Trump lost a large part of the Republican Party, including my former self, his stance on the police brutality cases and the protests, his lack of leadership with Covid, his lack of appreciation for the military, his smearing of John McCain and /7
General Mattis as well as many other things turned most Americans away from him. But the bigger thing that helped Biden win in all reality was mail in voting. The hard data doesn’t lie and there was a reason Trump wanted to disqualify and rally against mail in voting. /8
He knew from the beginning it would be his downfall, and would lead to a Biden victory. /9
So how did it help Biden? First we have to look at where a large number of mail in ballots came from extremely populated urban areas and highly populated lower income areas. These areas are often disenfranchised by the voting system, with limited polling places with extremely /10
large numbers of voters, predominantly black and Hispanic. Many people do not have the interest to vote when they have to spend the entire day waiting in line to vote. So when mail in voting was put in place it allowed a simpler method of voting for all those who had interest /11
in voting but didn’t have the time or access to stand in line 8 hours on Election Day to vote. This shift in mail in voting, which tends to favor democrats more heavily, swung in Biden’s favor in extremely large numbers, which one expected. However, Trump makes a fair point /12
when stating that he somehow managed to pull in more Hispanic and African American Voters this election than any other Republican candidate. However, volume is the key here. /13
Take this for example, normally 1 million people of color (African-American, Hispanics... etc) vote in a given state. This vote tends to favor democrats at around a 75%-25% split. So with one million votes, roughly 750,000 would go to Biden and 250,000 would go to Trump. /14
However, Trump managed to get more votes from this community and cut that split to 70%-30% which is somehow unbelievable but it happened. But when you calculate the increase in voters from 1 million to 2 million, Biden now gets 1.4 million votes while Trump only gets 600,000. /15
Now let’s say the rest of the state splits 40/60 in favor of republicans and there are 3 million other votes which equals to 1.2 million for Biden and 1.8 million for trump. Without mail in voting, Biden’s total with 1 million colored voters would be 1.95 million and trumps /16
would be 2.05 million. This would mean that Trump won that given state. However, with the increase in mail in votes from these urban areas, Biden would now get 2.6 million and Trump would get 2.4 million, and now Biden is the winner. When you look at the total electorate of a /17
state, and the other demographics don’t change as much, this change in the number of votes drastically changes the number of votes Biden gets in that given state. /18
The mail in votes undoubtably helped Biden win and is the reason that Trump is so against them. However, this allowed ALL people to have their voice heard without limitations and more accurately reflects the republic that is so important during these elections. /19
Understandably, Trump is mad at vote by mail and this is why he has called them fraudulent. But in reality, he is just sad because he lost. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Go vote in Georgia and turn Georgia blue. /Done

BREAK: Joe Biden is inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States.

The Trump administration is over.

Technically another 9 mins to go for the official handover. But it’s a formality.

Biden: "This is America's day. This is democracy's day. A day of history and hope....Today we triumph not of a candidate but of a cause. The cause of democracy. The people, the will of the people has been heard. And the will of the people has been heeded."

"At this hour my friends, democracy has prevailed."

Biden thanks his predecessors from both parties "from the bottom of my heart."

With, perhaps, the exception of one.

Biden addresses the pandemic and its economic consequences: "Few people in our nation's history have found themselves in a moment as challenging as the one we're in now...but the dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer."

Along w/ Biden climate news, some thoughts on solar geoengineering (SG) research under Biden Admin. SG closer to Biden/Democratic politics than Trump/Conservative: science-based, multilateral “green” capitalism. Recent moves indicate SG steadily moving into climate policy: THREAD

US is the world leader in SG research, with most funding from private sources – largely billionaires, wealthy individuals, and their boutique foundations – with ties to Silicon Valley tech firms, venture capital, and Wall Street hedge funds (also major donor bases for Dem Party)

Some philanthropists funding SG research include Bill Gates, Rachel Pritzker (billionaire heir of Pritzker family; Chair of Board at Breakthrough Institute), Chris Sacca/Lower Carbon Capital (billionaire VC, deep ties to Silicon Valley). All representatives of “green” capitalism

Leading centrist think tanks and environmental orgs like EDF and Resources for the Future (RFF), both of which take corporate funding (with RFF taking money from fossil fuel industry, e.g. Aramco, Chevron, Shell) support SG research and promote its inclusion in US climate policy

RFF recently published an SG policy paper by Harvard economists Joseph Aldy (fmr. Special Advisor to Obama for Energy and Environment) and Richard Zeckhauser that advocates SG as merely one prong of “prudent” climate policy:

THREAD ➡️ President Biden has just issued an unprecedented number of foolish and economically destructive executive orders. So much for unity. You might be wondering how he is allowed to do this. After all, America isn't a dictatorship and the president doesn't make laws.

Put simply: Congress. Every president issues guidance to the executive branch. That's normal. But when Congress passes bad, vague, or imprecise laws, it opens up space that executive orders fill. In other words, Congress enables presidential discretion.

This is THE biggest problem with Congress today. You may have heard that America has three coequal branches. This is wrong. Congress is the dominant branch of government. We are the first branch, and we have the most power over the other two.

Our constitution is designed to have Congress at the center. We are supposed to be making laws and directing the government. The president and the federal courts are empowered to check Congress, but they are not supposed to replace our legislative authority.

So what happens when Congress decides not to play its part? First, the other branches step in to fill the space. Courts legislate from the bench. The president and bureaucracy tackle problems and policy however they like.

Did you miss the Inauguration of the 46th President of the United States,Joe Biden?This Thread is the perfect synopsis for everything you need to know!

Donald Trump left the White House Wednesday morning. For the first time in 150 years the sitting president didn’t attend the swearing-in of his successor.


Kamala Harris, the first woman and person of color to hold the office of vice president was sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina member of the Supreme Court.


Chief Justice John Roberts later administered the presidential oath to Biden as Jill Biden held the bible and as his children, Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden, stood by.


President Joe Biden gave his Inaugural address. Check out the full transcript below.

"Ban" is a verb meaning to "officially or legally prohibit" something. If the Biden administration is not approving new fracking permits, how is that not "officially or legally prohibiting" new fracking permits?


The economy is bleeding, and the Biden administration's response is to cripple one of the few industries that has been consistently employing people throughout this crisis.

But, his allies in the media don't want him to take that PR hit, so they run cover and play word games. Biden's exact words were "We are not going to ban fracking. Period." The "Period." there would imply that ANY ban is off the table.

If you are going to prohibit via executive order - which is nothing more than a law passed outside of the normal legislative process - anything, you are "legally" prohibiting it. There are legal consequences to violating that regulation.

So yes, definitionally, Biden has "legally prohibited" fracking in some way, shape, or form, which is the opposite of his campaign statements.

In other words, he lied.

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

The word Swastik has a definite etymological origin in Sanskrit. It is derived from the roots su – meaning “well or auspicious” & as meaning “being”.


"सु अस्ति येन तत स्वस्तिकं"
Swastik is de symbol through which everything auspicios occurs

Scholars believe word’s origin in Vedas,known as Swasti mantra;

"🕉स्वस्ति ना इन्द्रो वृधश्रवाहा
स्वस्ति ना पूषा विश्ववेदाहा
स्वस्तिनास्तरक्ष्यो अरिश्तनेमिही
स्वस्तिनो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु"


It translates to," O famed Indra, redeem us. O Pusha, the beholder of all knowledge, redeem us. Redeem us O Garudji, of limitless speed and O Bruhaspati, redeem us".

SWASTIK’s COSMIC ORIGIN
