Five facts about the 2020 presidential election: 1. Joe Biden won decisively — Biden received 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232. He also won the popular vote by over 7 million votes (81.3 million to 74.2 million). These results were certified by all 50 states and Congress on January 6-7, 2021. 2. No widespread fraud was found — Trump’s own Attorney General William Barr, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and election officials from both parties stated there was no fraud on a scale that could have changed the outcome. 3. Courts rejected the claims — Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits. Nearly all were dismissed or withdrawn, including by Trump-appointed judges. Only a handful of minor procedural wins occurred, none affecting the result. 4. Audits and recounts confirmed Biden’s wins — Multiple hand recounts and audits in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and elsewhere slightly narrowed or widened margins but never overturned any state result. Arizona’s “Cyber Ninjas” audit (run by Trump supporters) actually increased Biden’s margin. 5. Fraud occurs but is extremely rare — Studies and Heritage Foundation data show voter fraud cases number in the dozens across millions of votes (e.g., <0.0001% in key states). No evidence showed systematic fraud sufficient to flip even one battleground state. Conspiracy claims of a “stolen” election lack supporting evidence and were rejected by Republican officials, courts, and audits. The election was the most scrutinized in modern U.S. history.

@CaprisunWx @andromeda_IX @allenanalysis Many things can be true regardless of how the message is sent. We are past the point of hypocrisy. I tell you this as I sit in a northern US state finding it increasingly hard to breathe because of the smoke coming my way from this tragedy. Dawg.

Northwestern Ontario is burning, and one First Nation community has reportedly been wiped out. Namaygoosisagagun First Nation, also known as Collins, Ontario, has burned to the ground. Because the remote community has no road access, residents were forced to flee by boat and other limited routes. An entire community is gone.

the most confusing part of the odyssey is how this took 10 years

@ihtesham2005 As a former certified collegiate tutor (yes, there are certifications for it), I explained this to everyone I tutored in their first session. The ones that tried these methods succeeded, and the ones who thought I was lying did not do as well. It does work.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

@Firstname12224 @OrevaZSN Yes! We should grow up and then become a wage slave for corporations who don’t give a fig if we live or die. So much better than being a slave to governments who actually try and keep me and my neighbors alive. I guess it’s a pick your poison dilemma, eh?

When you replace God with socialism this is the brain damaged fantasy comparisons you come up with. The government isn't god, they can barely fill potholes, yet you want them to control your housing, water, food, healthcare, ect.... The government hates you and sees you as a tax slave, at some point you'll need to grow up and handle things yourself

I find it astounding that Christians believe Heaven is this beautiful place with breathtaking natural landscapes, where all your needs are met, there’s no war or hunger, and everyone lives in harmony, yet here on Earth, they call it socialism and say it’s evil.

Nicole Wallace ☠️☠️☠️ "Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016. When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024. But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"

Ok hear me out: instead of all of us having to become extremely knowledgeable on a new infectious disease every 3-6 months, what if we got a large group of experts together and just put them in charge of giving us easy to understand health recommendations. They could also do things like track outbreaks and predict future concerns.

@chrizmillr You’re not wrong.

The easiest way for journalists to get to the bottom of the “is Mitch McConnell dead” question, is to just ask Trump directly: “so they don’t want you to know and are keeping you out of the loop about it?” And that narcissistic gossip will immediately say “no I know he’s been brain dead for three weeks and they’re keeping him on a ventilator so they can avoid a special election and he looks like a mummy I was the first to know” he can’t help himself

@MisterAntwerp @OrevaZSN Many will get left behind sooner, because they won’t have a job anymore.

So a carpenter who uses a miter saw and a cordless drill isn’t a carpenter because he used tools right? People saying things like you about AI don’t understand that AI should be used as a tool to speed up and improve work. People who try to fight AI will get left behind, sooner than later.

If you can’t do your job without AI, you don’t deserve the job. If you can’t write a book without AI, you’re not a writer. If you can’t earn a degree without AI, you don’t deserve that degree. If AI did it for you, then you didn’t do it.

@soigomaa Maybe everyone will be better off when the men passing down their genes are the ones who actually treat women well.

@Diamond_D56 @HunterBiden @lisa_gannon The borders were opened by the party of business. You know which one I’m talking about. They needed bodies to do work that they could pay cheaply. It happened over decades. This very same party has now weaponized it against the other party as if it all happened recently. Genius.

Simply because, a compliant press and sycophantic Democrat party-refused to see-an open southern border under your Dad, the use of govt positions for social purposes-elevating cross dressers and deviants, to the detriment of Americans and America. Too, shipping said illegals all over America, using NGOs at night via planes and busses, and lying to the American people's faces daily, taxing and spending us into oblivion. But mainly, denying the truth of your Dad's decline. He was done, and was a figurehead and feckless.

When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain. A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.” That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.

I miss when "The News" was just a guy in a suit telling you what happened, instead of a 24 hour panic machine designed to make you hate your neighbor so you don't notice your rent went up 30%.

@Wendy48173509 @CBCPAC @WeWill2026 Hope they’re enjoying the outcome of that decision. Seems a bit shortsighted.

@CBCPAC @WeWill2026 BERNIE BROS DSA LEFTISTS JUSTICE DEMOCRATS NEVER FORGAVE BLACK PEOPLE FOR CHOSING HILLARY AND BIDEN OVER BERNIE. THAT'S WHY THEY SABOTAGED KAMALA WITH THE UNCOMMITTED MOVEMENT AND HELPED TRUMP WIN.

Anyone supporting William Lawrence (@WeWill2026) should denounce his hateful remarks and withdraw their support. Michiganders deserve better. huffpost.com/entry/surging-…

The greatest piece of political propaganda in our time was convincing millions of people that caring for others and the planet was somehow a threat to America.

One of the most blatant forms of hypocrisy of our time is when Christians hold all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards, all while holding themselves and their preferred politicians accountable to no standards at all.

A Christianity rooted in patriarchy will always define women first and foremost by their relationship to men. A Christianity rooted in the gospel of Jesus will see women first and foremost as human beings created in God's image. May we understand the difference.
