Joe Biden calls for respecting the 'will of the people' and rips 'baseless claims' about election
President-elect Joe Biden delivered a forceful attack on President Donald Trump's barrage of lawsuits and claims of electoral fraud – demanding in a prime-time speech Monday that the 'will of the people' be honored.
Biden spoke from Wilmington, Delaware hours after his win in the Electoral College became official and he passed the 270 Electoral Vote threshold.
His speech was not a victory lap, but rather an effort to establish his own legitimacy while calling out Trump's relentless effort to overturn the results in his strongest attack on the sitting president since winning the election last month.
'Respecting the will of the people is at the heart of our democracy, even if we find those results hard to accept,' said Biden – alluding to Trump's refusal to concede or accept the results.
'Respecting the will of the people is at the heart of our democracy, even if we find those results hard to accept,' said Biden on the day the Electoral College met in state capitals across the nation
Clearing his hoarse throat repeatedly, Biden teed off on the Trump campaign's repeated legal defeats, and pointed to Friday's devastating decision by the Supreme Court.
'The Trump campaign brought dozens and dozens of legal challenges .. they were heard again and again. And each of the times they were heard they were found to be without merit,' he said.
He noted his own Electoral College win equaled Trump's, and at the time, 'President Trump called the electoral college tally a landslide. By his own standards these numbers represented a clear victory then, and I respectfully suggest they do so now.'
He spoke of the nation's founding, adding: 'And we now know, nothing, not even a pandemic, or an abuse of power can extinguish that flame.'
Although Biden has tried to keep his focus on his agenda and on the coronavirus during many of his public remarks since networks called the race for him weeks ago, his Monday speech was an effort to put down a clear marker and establish the legitimacy of election.
It came as a group of influential Republican senators including Senate Majority Whip John Thune of South Dakota Ohio's Sen. Rob Portman finally began referring to him as 'president-elect.'
'In America, politicians don't take power. People grant power to them,' Biden said.
He praised 'courageous state and local officials and election workers' – a hat tip not only to those who staffed the voting despite the coronavirus, but to Republican officials who withstood Trump's repeated claims that they take actions to overturn the vote in their states.
He said they showed 'absolute courage' and a 'deep and unwavering faith in, and commitment to, the law.'
'And they could not and would not give credence to what they knew was not true.'
Although he didn't name them, officials such as Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffesnperger withstood intense pressure from Trump and his allies to try to influence the outcome.
'It was truly remarkable because so many of these patriotic Americans were subjected to so much: enormous political pressure, verbal abuse, and even threats of physical violence. While we all wish that our fellow Americans in these positions will always show such courage and commitment to free and fair elections, I hope we never again see anyone subjected to the kind of threats and abuse we saw in this election. It is unconscionable,' said Biden.
'The Court sent a clear signal to President Trump and his allies that they would be no part of this unprecedented assault on our democracy,' he added.
He pointed to former Homeland Security cybersecurity Christopher Krebs, who called the election 'the most secure in American history' before he got fired.
The president-elect also took repeated shots at the Kraken lawsuits that Trump and his allies vowed would change the result.
'In America, when questions are raised about the legitimacy of any election, those questions are resolved through a legal process. And that is precisely what happened here. The Trump campaign brought dozens and dozens and dozens of legal challenges to test the results. They were heard. And they were found to be without merit,' said Biden.
'Time and again, President Trump's lawyers presented their arguments to state officials, state legislatures, state and federal courts, and ultimately to the United States Supreme Court, twice. They were heard by more than 80 judges across the country. And in every case, no cause or evidence was found to reverse or question or dispute the results,' he said.
Nor did recounts make a difference.
'The results in Georgia were counted three times,' he said. 'It did not change the outcome. The recount conducted in Wisconsin actually saw our margin grow. The margin we had in Michigan was fourteen times the margin President Trump won the state by four years ago.'
Biden chose Monday to speak following to crucial developments: the formal meeting of the Electoral College, and the Supreme Court swatting down a lawsuit filed by the attorney general of Texas seeking to overturn the election in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
'And yet none of this has stopped baseless claims about the legitimacy of the results,' he said.
'Even more stunning, 17 Republican Attorneys General and 126 Republican Members of Congress actually signed on to a lawsuit filed by the State of Texas.
'This legal maneuver was an effort by elected officials in one group of states to try to get the Supreme Court to wipe out the votes of more than twenty million Americans in other states and to hand the presidency to a candidate who lost the Electoral College, lost the popular vote, and lost each and every one of the states whose votes they were trying to reverse,' he said, pointing to Trump's multiple defeats.
'It's a position so extreme we've never seen it before. A position that refused to respect the will of the people, refused to respect the rule of law, and refused to honor our Constitution. Thankfully, a unanimous Supreme Court immediately and completely rejected this effort,' he said.
With polls showing substantial numbers of Americans doubting the legitimacy of the vote amid Trump's constant attacks, Biden pointed repeatedly to the numbers of the victory by himself and running-mate Kamala Harris.
'More than 81 million of those votes were cast for me and Vice President-elect Harris,' Biden said. 'This too is a record number. More votes than any ticket has received in the history of America.'
'It represented a winning margin of more than 7 million votes over the number of votes cast for President Trump and Vice President Pence. Altogether, Vice President-elect Harris and I earned 306 electoral votes — well exceeding the 270 electoral votes needed to secure victory,' he said.
History gave him a handy number to cite. '306 electoral votes is the same number of electoral votes DonaldTrump and MikePence received in 2016. At that time, President Trump called his Electoral College tally a landslide. By his own standards, these numbers represented a clear victory then. And I respectfully suggest they do so now.'
He called the results 'numbers so big that this election now ranks as the clearest demonstration of the true will of the American people — one of the most amazing demonstrations of civic duty we've ever seen in our country. It should be celebrated, not attacked,' said Biden.
Biden looked back to early early 2017, when as outgoing vice president and president of the Senate, he certified the results of Trump's victory, which devastated Hillary Clinton and Democrats.
'I did my job,' he said.
'Now it is time to turn the page as we've done throughout our history. To unite. To heal,' he intoned.
Biden also referenced his 'soul of America' campaign theme.
'In this battle for the soul of America, democracy prevailed,' he said. 'The flame of democracy was lit in this nation a lot time ago. And we now know that nothing – not even a pandemic – or an abuse of power – can extinguish that flame.'
Biden's Electoral College win became official just before 5:30 p.m. Monday, with California's votes pushing him over the 270 vote threshold.
With California's vote in, Biden stood at 302 Electoral College votes, with 306 expected, compared to Trump's 232.
Ten minutes later, Trump tweeted that he had a 'very nice meeting' with Attorney General Bill Barr and announced Barr was leaving the administration. Trump had been fuming all weekend over Barr not exposing that federal authorities were investigating Biden's son Hunter's taxes before the November 3 election.

He also spoke about the coronavirus, the good vaccine news, as well as the gruesome milestone of hitting 300,000 deaths in the U.S., reached Monday.
'What beats deep in the hearts of the American people is this: Democracy,' Biden said. 'The right to be heard. To have your vote counted. To choose the leaders of this nation. To govern ourselves.'
Biden's 'abuse of power' comment was a clear whack at Trump, who still refuses to concede the election. That upset Rep. Paul Mitchell – an outgoing conservative Republican – so much that he left the party Monday, saying he'll be an independent during his final weeks in Congress.
'This election simply confirms for me that it's all about power first, and that, frankly, is disgusting and demoralizing,' Mitchell said on CNN.
Republican lawmakers have been slow to call Biden the president-elect since the election was first called for him on November 7. There was a little bit of movement after the Electoral College vote.
'Now we have the constitutional threshold and we'll deal with Vice President Biden as the president-elect,' said GOP Sen. Roy Blunt. 'The president continues obviously to have all the options he has available to him, but the electoral vote today was significant.'
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a top ally of the president, wouldn't fully close the door on a possible Trump second term.
'It's a very, very narrow path for the president. I don't see how it gets there from here, given what the Supreme Court did,' Graham said. 'But having said that, I think we'll let those legal challenges play out.'
The latest Trump campaign plot, articulated by White House aide Stephen Miller Monday morning, was to have Republican 'electors' gather in or near the statehouses where the actual Electoral College electors were meeting, to cast their own votes for Trump.
'As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we're going to send those results up to Congress,' Miller said on Fox & Friends.
'This will ensure that all of our legal remedies remain open. That means if we win these cases in the courts, we can direct that these alternate electors be certified,' he added.
In Georgia, a group of Republicans indeed met in a separate room in the state capitol and cast ballots for Trump. In Michigan, a group of Republicans tried to do the same thing, but were refused access to the capitol. The Pennsylvania GOP said they had gathered to cast ballots 'at the request of the Trump campaign.'
But even Bernie Comfort, the Pennsylvania chair of the Trump campaign, admitted the vote wasn't much more than a stunt.
'We took this procedural vote to preserve any legal claims that may be presented going forward,' Comfort said in a statement. 'This was in no way an effort to usurp or contest the will of the Pennsylvania voters.'
And despite these shenanigans, Biden still called the election a success.
'We the People voted. Faith in our institutions held. The integrity of our elections remains intact,' Biden said. 'And so, now it is time to turn the page. To unite. To heal.'
Miller's claim that 'legal remedies remain open' flew in the face of reality. Trump had seen the bid by Texas to overturn the election thrown out by the Supreme Court Friday and spent the weekend angrily tweeting that the nine justices lacked 'wisdom and courage.'
And on Monday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ended yet another Trump lawsuit against the results there, another defeat for the president who has seen dozens of lawsuits struck down since voting went against him.
Biden's victory saw him take 81,282,376 votes compared to Trump's 74,222,576 in the popular vote – although until Monday, Trump was usually the one making repeat references to his vote total.
His victory was declared by major television networks on November 7, but has still not been acknowledged by Trump, who instead has spent more than a month furiously claiming the election was 'rigged' or 'stolen' and racking up dozens of defeats in court, with the Supreme Court hammering a nail in his coffin last Friday.
The Electoral College vote leaves Trump's path to overturning the result one which is now essentially impossible: he will have to persuade both the House and the Senate to throw out the votes of the swing states.
Among those voting Monday, Hillary and Bill Clinton who are Electoral College electors in New York. Also, former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, widely credited for Biden's win in the state.

Security was stepped up in many of the swing state capitols amid concern that the confirmation of Biden's victory would lead to protests.
For example, Michigan's legislative office buildings were closed to the public due to 'credible threats of violence,' state officials said Sunday night.
And state House member Gary Eisen, a Republican, was disciplined by his own party for saying he could not guarantee that certifying Biden's win in the state would not lead to violence.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a handful of pro-Trump demonstrators protested outside the state capitol.
Once the vote is counted, the results will be sent to Washington and tallied in a January 6 joint session of Congress over which Vice President Mike Pence will preside.
The electors' votes have drawn more attention than usual this year because Trump has refused to concede the election and continues to make baseless allegations of fraud.
All through Monday, he continued to tweet wild allegations.
Answering a question posed by Fox Business Network's Maria Bartiromo on twitter, 'Why did the Swing States stop counting in the middle of the night?' Trump replied, 'Because they waited to find out how many ballots they had to produce in order to steal the Rigged Election.'
'They were so far behind that they needed time, & a fake 'water main break', to recover!' Trump said.
A water leak occurred at a site in Georgia, but a top Republican election official said it had no impact on the vote tally.
As Biden neared 270 electoral votes, the number he needed to make his win official, Trump kept tweeting – sharing an op-ed from the conservative Washington Times claiming there were problems with the Dominion voting system in one county in Michigan.
Trump is attempting to undermine Biden's presidency even before it begins.

'No, I worry about the country having an illegitimate president, that's what I worry about. A president that lost and lost badly,' Trump said in a Fox News interview that was taped Saturday.
His move to introduce 'alternate electors' was ridiculed by George Conway, the anti-Trump husband of former White House Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway.
'The next thing you know, they're going to declare Palm Beach to be the 'alternative' capital of the United States, and Mar-a-Lago the 'alternative' Executive Mansion,' Conway tweeted Monday morning.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN WHO REFUSED TO CONDEMN VIOLENCE IS DISCIPLINED BY PARTY
A Republican lawmaker from Michigan has been disciplined for not denouncing potential violence at the state Capitol before Democratic presidential electors are to meet to vote for Joe Biden, who won the state over President Donald Trump.
State Rep. Gary Eisen of St. Clair Township told WPHM-AM on Monday that he planned to help with an unspecified 'Hail Mary' GOP plan to challenge the election, conceding the 'uncharted' action likely would not change the result.
Asked if he could guarantee people's safety, he said 'no.'
House Speaker Lee Chatfield and Speaker-elect Jason Wentworth, both Republicans, removed Eisen from committees in the closing days of the two-year session. In a statement, they said threats or suggestions of violence in politics are never acceptable, including 'when the public officials open the door to violent behavior and refuse to condemn it. We must do better.'
The 16 electors and top Democratic state officials such as Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are scheduled to gather in the Senate chamber Monday afternoon. Legislative offices are closed because of threats of violence. The Capitol is closed to the public because of coronavirus restrictions.
Following weeks of Republican legal challenges that were easily dismissed by judges, Trump and Republican allies tried to persuade the Supreme Court last week to set aside 62 electoral votes for Biden in four states, which might have thrown the outcome into doubt.
The justices rejected the effort on Friday.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday ruled against yet another of the 'Kraken' lawsuits that Trump allies had promised. This time, the state's high court ruled against an effort to toss out 221,000 in minority-heavy Milwaukee and Daine County.
Justice Brian Hagedorn said the Trump campaign was 'not entitled to the relief it seeks.'
The conservative judge used a sports analogy to spike the ball. 'Our laws allow the challenge flag to be thrown regarding various aspects of election administration. The challenges raised by the Campaign in this case, however, come long after the last play or even the last game; the Campaign is challenging the rulebook adopted before the season began.'
The Trump camp also wanted to rule out ballots from those who claimed to be 'indefinitely confined' and voted absentee. But this, like other challenges, was brought too late. The campaign also challenged absentee ballots that poll workers collected at parks.
Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, who has been tracking the Trump election failures, said it was the 59th defeat. He wrote that all significant post-election cases have now been decided. 'Trump and his allies are 1-59 in post-election litigation,' according to Elias' count.
Biden is planning to address the nation Monday night, after the electors have voted.
Biden won 306 electoral votes to 232 votes for Trump.
It takes 270 votes to be elected.
In 32 states and the District of Columbia, laws require electors to vote for the popular-vote winner.
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld this arrangement in July.
Electors almost always vote for the state winner anyway because they generally are devoted to their political party.
There's no reason to expect any defections this year.
Among prominent electors are 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton – who will get to cast a vote against Trump – Democrat Stacey Abrams of Georgia and Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota.
The voting is decidedly low tech, by paper ballot.
Electors cast one vote each for president and vice president.
The Electoral College was the product of compromise during the drafting of the Constitution between those who favored electing the president by popular vote and those who opposed giving the people the power to choose their leader.
Each state gets a number of electors equal to their total number of seats in Congress: two senators plus however many members the state has in the House of Representatives.
Washington, D.C., has three votes, under a constitutional amendment that was ratified in 1961.
With the exception of Maine and Nebraska, states award all their Electoral College votes to the winner of the popular vote in their state.
The bargain struck by the nation's founders has produced five elections in which the president did not win the popular vote.
Trump was the most recent example in 2016.
Before that, it was George W. Bush, another Republican, in 2000.
Biden topped Trump by more than 7 million votes this year.
On January 6, Congress will tally the vote in a House of Representatives session that Pence, as president of the Senate, will preside over.
Some House Republicans have said they will challenge certain states' counts, but they need a member of the Senate in order to do so successfully.
If that occurred, the House and Senate would have to debate the challenge – holding up the tally for several hours.
A simple majority will kill the challenge.
From there, there's one more step: inauguration on January 20.
Wisconsin Supreme Court rejects Trump's last-ditch bid to stop certification just before Electoral College meets in its capitol
The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump´s lawsuit attempting to overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, ending Trump's legal challenges in state court about an hour before the Electoral College was to meet to cast the state's 10 votes for Biden.
The court held arguments in the case Saturday, the same day a federal judge dismissed another Trump lawsuit seeking to overturn his loss in Wisconsin. Trump appealed that ruling.
The president sought to have more than 221,000 ballots disqualified in Dane and Milwaukee counties, the state's two most heavily Democratic counties.
In a 4-3 ruling, Justice Brian Hagedorn, a conservative writing for the majority, said the Trump campaign was 'not entitled to the relief it seeks.'
President Donald Trump continues to refuse to concede and the White House's Stephen Miller said Monday morning a group of 'alternate electors' was meeting in swing states to cast votes for the president
Hagedorn used a sports analogy when ruling against Trump, saying he waited too long to raise his complaints.
'Our laws allow the challenge flag to be thrown regarding various aspects of election administration,' Hagedorn wrote.
'The challenges raised by the Campaign in this case, however, come long after the last play or even the last game; the Campaign is challenging the rulebook adopted before the season began.'
Trump wanted to disqualify absentee ballots cast early and in-person, saying there wasn't a proper written request made for the ballots; absentee ballots cast by people who claimed 'indefinitely confined' status; absentee ballots collected by poll workers at Madison parks; and absentee ballots where clerks filled in missing information on ballot envelopes.
The court ruled that Trump's challenge to voters who were indefinitely confined was without merit and that the other claims came too late.
Liberal justices Rebecca Dallet and Jill Karofsky, who sided with Hagedorn, wrote separately to emphasize that there was no evidence of fraud in Wisconsin's election.
'Wisconsin voters complied with the election rulebook,' Dallet and Karofksy said. 'No penalties were committed and the final score was the result of a free and fair election.'
Karofsky blasted Trump's case during Saturday's hearing, saying it 'smacks of racism' and was 'un-American.'
Conservative justices voiced some concerns about how certain ballots were cast, while also questioning whether they could or should disqualify votes only in two counties.
Biden won Wisconsin by about 20,600 votes, a margin of 0.6% that withstood a Trump-requested recount in Milwaukee and Dane counties, the two with the most Democratic votes. Trump did not challenge any ballots cast in the counties he won.
Trump and his allies have suffered dozens of defeats in Wisconsin and across the country in lawsuits that rely on unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud and election abuse. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Texas lawsuit that sought to invalidate Biden´s win by throwing out millions of votes in four battleground states, including Wisconsin.
Also Saturday, former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear a federal case she lost in Wisconsin seeking to order the GOP-controlled Legislature to declare Trump the winner. Powell has also lost similar cases in Georgia and Arizona.
Trump calls Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp a 'clown' and demands he hold a special session on ballot signatures to avoid a 'bad day' for GOP Senators in the state's run-off election
Donald Trump on Sunday night called the Republican governor of Georgia 'a fool' and referred to him as 'this clown' in a volley of furious tweets accusing Republicans of allowing Democrats to steal the election.
Trump chastised the Supreme Court for refusing to hear a Texas lawsuit attempting to overturn Joe Biden's victory and raged against an election he sees as being stolen from him.
Particular anger was directed at Brian Kemp, who he campaigned for in 2018.
Trump feels the Georgia governor has let him down by not pursuing with enough vigor fraud allegations in a state which swung Democrat for the first time in 30 years.
'What a fool Governor @BrianKempGA of Georgia is,' he tweeted, shortly after midnight.
'Could have been so easy, but now we have to do it the hard way.
'Demand this clown call a Special Session and open up signature verification, NOW.
'Otherwise, could be a bad day for two GREAT Senators on January 5th.'

A senate run-off will be held on January 5, which will essentially decide who controls the chamber. Trump is struggling to find a way to keep claiming that the vote was fraudulent, while still encouraging his supporters to trust the system enough to bother to turnout and vote.
Earlier on Sunday night Trump had packed several of his favorite unfounded claims of election fraud into a rant, which came hours before the Electoral College is set to vote on Monday.
'The RINOS [Republicans In Name Only] that run the state voting apparatus have caused us this problem of allowing the Democrats to so blatantly cheat in their attempt to steal the election, which we won overwhelmingly,' the lame duck president wrote after spending the day golfing at his club in Sterling, Virginia.
'How dare they allow this massive and ridiculous Mail-In Voting to occur… Tens of millions of haphazardly ballots sent, with some people getting two, three, or four ballots. We will never give up!'
Minutes later he launched an attack on the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, for declining to hear the lawsuit spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that sought to invalidate presidential results in Texas and four other states.
'The fact that the Supreme Court wouldn't find standing in an original jurisdiction matter between multiple states, and including the President of the States, is absurd. It is enumerated in the Constitution,' Trump wrote.
'They just 'chickened out' and didn't want to rule on the merits of the case. So bad for our Country!'

He took things a step further in yet another Twitter thread soon after, writing: 'Swing States that have found massive VOTER FRAUD, which is all of them, CANNOT LEGALLY CERTIFY these votes as complete & correct without committing a severely punishable crime.
'Everybody knows that dead people, below age people, illegal immigrants, fake signatures, prisoners, and many others voted illegally. Also, machine 'glitches' (another word for FRAUD), ballot harvesting, non-resident voters, fake ballots, 'stuffing the ballot box', votes for pay, roughed up Republican Poll Watchers, and sometimes even more votes than people voting, took place in Detroit, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and elsewhere.
'In all Swing State cases, there are far more votes than are necessary to win the State, and the Election itself. Therefore, VOTES CANNOT BE CERTIFIED. THIS ELECTION IS UNDER PROTEST!'
Twitter flagged each of the tweets with the word 'fraud' – five in total – with a warning which read: 'This claim about election fraud is disputed.'
Twitter flagged each of Trump's tweets with the word 'fraud'
The president's recent outbursts have drawn criticism from people in his own party, including former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
'The legal theory put forward by his legal team and by the president is an absurdity,' he told ABC's 'This Week' on Sunday morning, referring to the failed Texas suit.
'The reason why the Supreme Court didn't take it is because it's an absurd idea to think that any state or any number of states, no matter how good they are, can challenge another state's right to run the election as they see fit.
'And, also, there's no evidence.'
Christie also denounced Trump's recent attacks on Republican governors – mainly those in swing states that went blue.
'What's gotten even worse,' he said, 'is the attacks by the president on good, hardworking, decent Republican governors.
'He's calling them corrupt, and also telling people things that aren't true.'
Karl Rove, who served as chief advisor to President George W Bush, also expressed frustration with Trump on Sunday, saying he is 'on the edge of looking like a sore loser' and urging him to put the country first and accept the results of the election.
Asked whether he believed Trump would continue to contest the results even after January 6 – the day when both the Senate and House gather to officially count the votes – Rove told Fox News it depended on what Trump's aim was.
'If his goal is to lay the predicate to come back in 2024 and run again, he's helping himself at least gaining the nomination, but I think in the long run he's not helping himself or the country,' Rove said.
'America likes comebacks, but they don't like sore losers, and he is on the edge of looking like a sore loser, and probably will look like it after January 6th.'
Rove said he would not be surprised if there were attempts to 'disrupt' voting in some of the states the Trump camp is contesting, such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona and Michigan.
He said he thinks some Republicans will try some stunts during the January 6 procedures, which are normally unremarkable.

Trump made similar comments about fraud and his 'disappointment' with the Supreme Court in an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade aired Sunday morning, saying of the election fight: 'It's not over.'
He said he is worried about the US 'having an illegitimate president', likened alleged voter fraud to elections in a 'third world country', and asserted that Democrats in swing states were able to 'outsmart' their Republican counterparts to rig the election for Biden.
'We keep going and we're going to continue to go forward. We have numerous local cases,' Trump said in his conversation with Kilmeade caught on camera at the Army-Navy football game on Saturday.
He assured that his legal team has adequately 'proven' fraud in the election.
'We've proven it, but no judge has had the courage, including the Supreme Court, I am so disappointed in them,' he said.
After Trump first complained of the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the Texas-led case on Saturday, Twitter flagged and temporarily blocked people from liking and replying to the president's tweets.
'We try to prevent a Tweet like this that otherwise breaks the Twitter Rules from reaching more people, so we have disabled most of the ways to engage with it,' the social media platforms added in a note attached to the posts.
Trump told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade that his election fight is 'not over' in an interview aired Sunday morning
In his Twitter rant, he called the decision a 'great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice'. Twitter later told The Hill the decision had been reversed, adding: 'We inadvertently took action to limit engagements on the labeled Tweet.'
Also on Saturday, pro-Trump protesters descended on Washington, DC, again demanding: 'Stop the steal!'
The president continued to fume during his interview on Fox News over the Supreme Court's decision – especially as an unprecedented three justices seated on the panel were nominated by Trump during his four years.
'No judge, including in the Supreme Court of the United States, has had the courage to allow it to be heard,' he said.
'The Supreme Court, all they did is say we don't have standing. So they're saying essentially the president of the United States and Texas and these other states, great states, they don't have standing,' he continued.
The president also insisted the election fight is 'not over', adding: 'We keep going and we're going to continue to go forward. We have numerous local cases.'
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said they would have heard the case but that they would have refused to overturn the election result. The other seven justices declined to hear the case, ending the legal bid.
'This is a great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice. The people of the United States were cheated, and our Country disgraced. Never even given our day in Court!' Trump tweeted on Saturday morning from the White House.
'I WON THE ELECTION IN A LANDSLIDE, but remember, I only think in terms of legal votes, not all of the fake voters and fraud that miraculously floated in from everywhere! What a disgrace!' he continued.

Trump, pictured Sunday, has again insisted 'tens of thousands of ballots' were illegally submitted calling it 'a rigged election'
On Sunday the president told Fox: 'They give us very little time. But we caught them, as you know, as fraudulent, dropping ballots, doing so many things, nobody can even believe it.'
Trump again insisted 'tens of thousands of ballots' were illegally submitted calling it 'a rigged election'.
He added: 'This wasn't like a close election. You look at Georgia. We won Georgia big. We won Pennsylvania big. We won Wisconsin big. We won it big.'
Refusing to talk about whether he will attend Biden's inauguration, Trump added: 'What happened to this country is we were like a third world country.'
There are reports that instead of observing the peaceful transfer on January 20, the president will depart the White House from the South Lawn on Marine One and take one final Air Force One flight to Florida for a rally.
It's expected that he could use that rally to immediately announce he is running for president in 2024 – setting him up for four years of campaigning during Biden's term where Trump would surely be his biggest critic.
More than 50 federal and state court rulings have upheld Biden´s victory. Trump has refused to concede defeat, alleging without evidence that he was denied victory by massive fraud.
Texas AG Ken Paxton said: 'It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court decided not to take this case and determine the constitutionality of these four states' failure to follow federal and state election law'
A disappointed Texas AG Ken Paxton responded to the result on Twitter, saying: 'It is unfortunate that the Supreme Court decided not to take this case and determine the constitutionality of these four states' failure to follow federal and state election law.'
Trump sought to intervene in the case – and 126 Republican House members followed suit, while 17 states signed a friend of the court brief supporting the Texas suit.
The four states being sued, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, blasted the suit as 'legally indefensible and is an affront to principles of constitutional democracy.'
And the Supreme Court majority found that Texas lacked 'standing' to even bring the case. It also had not demonstrated a 'judiciably cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts elections.'
In other word, Texas failed to demonstrate how it had been harmed by the election procedures in the four states singled out in the suit.
Trump's attention on Sunday also turned to the coronavirus and the approval of the Pfizer vaccination.
The president said: 'If I wasn't president – according to almost everybody, even the enemy – if I wasn't president you wouldn't have a vaccine for five years.
'I pushed the FDA and companies and everybody else involved like nobody's ever been pushed before, and now you have it rolling out.'
At least four protesters were stabbed Saturday night after violence erupted between the Proud Boys and Black Lives Matter counter-protesters following the second Million MAGA March in Washington D.C.
The 15,000-strong crowd chanted 'destroy the GOP' as they listened to speakers such as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani's star fraud witness Melissa Carona, who claimed Trump is the 'best president we've ever had'.
Jones was accused of inciting violence after declaring 'Joe Biden will be removed, one way or another!'
Thousands of the president's loyal followers had gathered outside the Supreme Court following their Friday decision.
In Washington state a person was shot amid clashes between pro-Trump demonstrators and counter-protesters.

Creative workshops – sound, vision and the senses in Art/Science Collaboration
Chris Rose, Interim Dean of Graduate Studies Division
http://artsresearch.brighton.ac.uk/research/academic/rose
Chris Rose reflects on how art schools pay a lot of attention to the visual sense and asks what are the roles of the many others, especially relating to the construction of knowledge? By connecting art, design and science he supports practice-based research and curriculum design for creative practices. His interest in devising those spaces in which creative insights can occur has developed as an alternative to a 'delivery' model of teaching which has less relevance in the present environment. He managed the multi-material design program at the University of Brighton in England prior to RISD.

Carole Gray's research seeks to develop and evaluate co-operative and discursive methodologies in visual arts research, including creative visual methods, and appropriate 'artistic' strategies of evaluation and dissemination. She is particularly interested in how this type of research can inform curriculum development in terms of cultural and contextual responsiveness and responsibility. Carol Gray is a practicing artist and has made exterior site-specific structures as well as smaller scale interior sculptural lights.

Are you a self tanner? If so this product could be perfect for you. A light refreshing mist applied to the skin for flawless results. No need to blend or rub in – dries in seconds. New larger can.


Stewart Parnell of Peanut Corporation of America gets prison for salmonella outbreak.
Peanut Corporation of America shipped salmonella-tainted products across the country.
The former owner of a peanut company was sentenced to 28 years in prison on Monday for faking lab results to show salmonella-tainted peanut products were safe and then shipping the products to customers. Stewart Parnell of the now-defunct Peanut Corporation of America faced 803 years in prison after he was convicted of 70 felony charges last year. A salmonella outbreak in 2008-2009 was linked to the deaths of nine people and hundreds of illnesses, triggering one of the largest food recalls in U.S. history.
Court documents revealed that Parnell approved shipments despite containers that were partially "covered in dust and rat crap." In one e-mail, after being informed that a customer's shipment might be delayed because the results of a salmonella test were not yet available, Parnell wrote, 'S—, just ship it. I can't afford to loose [sic] another customer." As the salmonella outbreak spread, inspectors from the Food and Drug Administration descended on the Georgia plant and documented a litany of unsanitary conditions, including mold, roaches, dirty equipment, holes big enough to allow rodents inside and a failure to separate raw and cooked products.
Parnell's sentence was the harshest ever handed down for a food safety case, according to the Justice Department. The 61-year-old's brother, Michael Parnell, who worked as a food broker for the company was sentenced to 20 years, and a manger at the company, Mary Wilkerson, was sentenced to five years in prison. All three are planning to appeal, according to their lawyers.

I am really glad to glance at this website posts which carries plenty of valuable information, thanks for providing such information.
I am really inspired along with your writing talents as smartly as with the format on your weblog. Is this a paid topic or did you modify it your self? Either way stay up the excellent high quality writing, it is rare to see a great weblog like this one today..
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However think about if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Awesome blog!
https://v.gd/n2Bm7e- - I used some strips of moleskin that I bought in the drugstore and applied them sparingly to the problem area. Taking care of your teeth is an ongoing process and regular check-ups and cleaning in the dentist minimizes any lasting problems. Exercise allows you lose energy in addition to fat and by doing this, it will also help prevent cardiovascular disease that will create chemicals within our bodies that are vital to a healthy life.

SUBJECT: Revised Guidelines for Distributing National Board Certification Incentive Awards
On June 28, 2012, the Virginia Board of Education adopted revised Guidelines for Distributing National Board Certification Incentive Awards (Attachment A). The Guidelines for Distributing National Board Certification Incentive Awards were revised to clarify the eligibility criteria and to change the timeline for distributing incentive awards.
National Board Certification, that complements, but does not replace, a state's teacher license, is achieved upon successful completion of a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize effective and accomplished teachers who meet high and rigorous standards established by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). The National Teacher Certification Incentive Reward Program is a means to recognize teachers who have achieved National Board Certification and reward this professional accomplishment.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1-299.2 of the Code of Virginia, the Board of Education is responsible for administering the National Board Certification Incentive Award Program for eligible teachers and may issue guidelines governing the Program as it deems necessary and appropriate.
The 2012-2014 Appropriation Act (Chapter 3, 2012 Special Session 1 Acts of Assembly) sets forth the amounts of the initial and continuing bonuses for National Board Certified Teachers who meet the criteria for the incentive awards. These monies will be disbursed to the local school divisions to fund the initial and continuing awards for National Board Certified Teachers who meet the eligibility criteria as set forth in the revised Guidelines for Distributing National Board Certification Incentive Awards.
The Department of Education requests that the information in this memorandum and the attachment be shared with personnel in each school division who are responsible for verifying the eligibility of National Board Certified Teachers for the incentive award and submitting their names to the Virginia Department of Education. In addition, it is requested that the information in this memorandum be shared with the Director of Finance for each school division.
For further information about the revised Guidelines for Distributing National Board Certification Incentive Awards contact Mrs. Eleanor Joyce, national board coordinator, by e-mail at Eleanor.Joyce@doe.virginia.gov or by telephone at (804) 225-2471.

Nomination form | Bradford Means Business Awards 2021
NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN
Closing date for nominations: Wed June 30, 2021
The Bradford Means Business Awards aim to celebrate success, recognise achievement and highlight the innovative people and companies throughout the Bradford district who are putting their region on the map by boosting the economy while making a positive contribution to the local community.
We believe that the passion, determination, tireless energy and skill that goes into running a top-performing company all deserve recognition and our 10 award categories are designed to celebrate businesses from across a range of sectors.
Nominations are now open in the following categories:
SME Business of the Year sponsored by BHP
The award is open to companies in the region which normally employ no more than 75 full-time staff whilst demonstrating a strong financial performance. Recognising a business that has shown marked success over the year, this award celebrates companies that are integral to the economy. For all finalists, judges will consider current trading performance and the prospective growth and development opportunities for the future of the business.
Employer of the Year sponsored by Solenis
This award honours the region's top employers. These companies will have demonstrated strong investment in their employees as well as having a reward scheme and other key employee benefits. Companies must be able to demonstrate that the safety and security of their employees is of the utmost importance and will be paying the living wage. It's time to be rewarded and recognised as one of the best places to work in the area.
New Business of the Year sponsored by Bradford BID
This award is open to companies in the region that have set up in 2021 and can demonstrate imagination, sound planning and exceptional marketing delivery. This coveted award recognises the region's brightest new businesses and the contribution they will make to the region in the future. Judges will be tasked with analysing business plans, achievements to date and potential for growth within the next few years.
Sustainability Award sponsored by Excelledia
This new award has been developed to recognise those that have done the most to improve overall environmental performance and enhance sustainability. Sustainable businesses are so important in today's environment and this category rewards those who are making strides to become more sustainable year on year. Entrants will be asked to describe their policies around sustainability and CSR as well as demonstrate how they handle certain productions. Judges will focus on businesses that have used sustainability to improve performance and have shown investments within their product/service to make themselves more sustainable and environmentally friendly as a company.
Social Mobility Award
This award recognises the hard and continued work of the district's businesses, social enterprises and social entrepreneurs. Those individuals or organisations that go beyond the norm and achieve the highest standards for communities, organisations, schools and businesses. Those who provide access for employees and people in the district to new opportunities and growth whilst using the district's diversity to champion our changing economy. Social mobility is key to ensuring our local communities thrive through the ability to access opportunity and overcome barriers to social inclusion. Finalists will be those businesses who can demonstrate how they have sought to understand factors which impact social mobility in our district and have then worked effectively (often in partnership with voluntary organisations) to address these issues and support the provision of relevant services. Judges will be looking for evidence of how the business has made an impact through their activities using its own resources, either financial or non-financial. Examples of programmes that may be considered for this award include those focusing on education (all ages), employability, mental health and homelessness, although this is by no means an exhaustive list.
Apprentice of the Year sponsored by Bradford College
Apprenticeships are an increasingly important way of attracting new talent and providing training for the future. We know there have been some fantastic successes locally and this award recognises an employer's best apprentice who has successfully come through their apprenticeship programme. The finalists in this category will have gone above and beyond as part of their apprenticeship for an employer that has offered the support and training needed to kick-start their careers.
Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year sponsored by Christeyns
Manufacturing apprentices are key to the district's success. Manufacturing weeks have highlighted the need for such roles and this award recognises apprentices who have chosen manufacturing as a careeer and have successfully come through their company's apprenticeship programme. Open to entries from those who work in the manufacturing sector only.
Manufacturer of the Year sponsored by Thorite
Manufacturing creates economic growth and is the engine that drives the district's economy. Manufacturers contribute to the vibrancy of our communities through good business practices, innovative processes and productivity enhancements. This award celebrates the successes of manufacturers in the district. Judges will be looking for excellence in their field, ability to succeed, growth and best practice.
Family Business of the Year
This award is for established family businesses across all industry sectors that can demonstrate sustained success across a broad range of measures whilst ensuring all family values are followed. The judges will also be looking at the aspirations of your business to demonstrate how both current and future family generations will be involved in the growth of the business.
Tech Company of the Year sponsored by University of Bradford
Tech companies are, of course, noted for their technological achievements but our Tech Company of the Year will have harnessed those achievements and produced excellent development in the area of tech and seen business growth during the past 18 months. The judges will be looking for how the company has developed, excelled in this area, grown their business and created new and sustainable tech in the district.
Winner of Winners sponsored by Broadway

One blood donation can help save up to three lives. That means a lot to patients in need, but it took on a new meaning recently. After I delivered my daughter, Hannah, I began bleeding internally. I needed blood transfusions and emergency surgeries to stop the bleeding and save my life. In the end, I received over 14 units of blood (by my count it was 18).
Without volunteer blood donors, our story would have had a different ending. Help me reach my goal and ensure that patients receive the life saving blood they need. Make and keep an appointment to give blood to the American Red Cross.
I am desperate to give back after my experience delivering my daughter! Unfortunately, due to medications I am taking I am unable to give blood at this time. I thought this was the perfect way to raise awareness and also get some blood for those in need! As soon as I'm done with these medications in the late spring I will be first in line! I hope you will help me in the meantime!

Entertainment Sponsored by: SPERLING INDUSTRIES INC. and WALINGA INC.
On April 10th, 2014 the Carman Area Foundation held it's 8th annual Celebration of Community and Philanthropy. This year, more than $40,000 was granted to local organizations. Recipients from organizations in Carman, Elm Creek, Roland, and Sperling lined up to receive their cheque for bettering their communities. Carman's Youth in Philanthropy yet again stepped up and made some grants of their own. Their community dedication is proving to be a valuable asset to Carman and area. It was another successful event with some extraordinary entertainment, provided by Big Daddy Tazz. His hilarious stand up routine ensured everyone was in good spirits. Over $55,000.00 was added to the Foundation`s endowment funds as a result of Carman and Area's amazing generosity.


Gehl and Svarre work at the Danish firm Gehl Architects / Urban Quality consultants. Beginning in 1960s, Gehl was looking for a way to understand cities at the human scale, by observing people's activities empirically rather than making assumptions about "good design." This book presents an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the interaction of people and urban space using a mix of observation, documentation, and common sense.
Methods used include counting, timing, mapping, photographing, walking, journaling, observing traces and other material evidence…and the list goes on. It's an excellent introduction to the contemporary practice of planning and urban design, and even includes a gloss of the last century or so history of texts about the study of public life and urban analysis.
Jan Gehl's 2013 publication, discussed above, brought to mind Gordon Cullen's classic Townscape (1961), and it's abridged version, The Concise Townscape. The text is an influential study of the visual and experiential intricacies of urban form. It looks at a wide range of how the city-goer experiences changing relationships in urban form over time. It is not so much a grand thesis as a catalog of spatial qualities and visual typologies such as enclosure, multiple enclosure, looking out of enclosure, looking into enclosure … change of level, truncation, silhouette, fluctuation, undulation, anticipation … and even some very abstract concepts such as infinity, mystery, and thereness. This work is a kind of aesthetical praxis that still feels fresh for those of us interested in continuing to hone our sensitivity to design, environment, and the very value of paying careful attention to the world.

ASCA offers many opportunities to promote professional growth, including intensive training that can be brought to your school or district.
These resources offer ways to store components of your comprehensive school counseling program online and apply to receive recognition for exemplary school counseling programs.


Clematis paniculata seed heads after the rain (which seems to be a permanent fixture). At Arataki Visitor Centre today.
Last flower on a bush smothered in seed pods – still soft and green, soon to develop into brown and prickly. Whau (Entelea arborescent).
Next to our front door we have a blechnum fern. Always enjoy seeing the unfurling fronds.
You might notice the bits of 'fluff' here: the nymphs ("fluffybums") of the passion vine hopper are already out and about. I am puzzled how these teeny critters can appear in force on totally new vegetation (i.e. a long distance away from where eggs might have been deposited at the end of the previous season).
Bamboo Hedge on Forest Hill Road.
A bit of fun in black and white.
The wire fence casts shadows on the fan of New Zealand flax behind.
A few years ago I was given a pitcher plant (Nepenthes sp); it is presently in flower, having produced a single spike. The rather insignificant flowers looked pretty in the late afternoon light.

"Cherry Pie Tri-County Pinot Noir jumps from the glass with aromas of sweet toasty oak with macerated cherries, Italian plums and a hint of blueberry. On the palate, this wine is a juicy attack of Bing cherries, integrated oak and raspberries with a long smooth finish."

Cherry Pie is another innovative offering from visionary winemaker Jayson Woodbridge, creator of Hundred Acre and Layer Cake Wines. One would think with the myriad winemaking projects that literally take him and his winemaking team around the globe each year, that Jayson would be content with his current stable of wines...but he yearned to make Pinot Noir for years and circumstances finally aligned for him to do just that.
Jayson sought out the owners of Stanly Ranch, on the Napa side of the Los Carneros appellation, as their grapes were some of the most sought after Pinot Noir grapes in California. They told him they would give him a small allocation to make wine, but future allocations would depend on the quality of the wine he made. After tasting his 2007 Pinot Noir from the barrel, and deeming it one of the best ever made from their grapes, the owners of the ranch granted him free rein to choose from the very best blocks of the property for his wine.
Then, in early 2008 while perusing New York's Soho District, Jayson happened upon the Campton Gallery during its exhibition of paintings by artist TR Colletta. Jayson was particularly drawn to a compelling oil on canvas of a juicy, mouthwatering, hot-out-of-the-oven cherry pie. He instantly knew this was to be the label and the name for his Pinot Noir still in the barrel – Cherry Pie.
