They really, really, really want you to believe it’s over

Joe Biden was named the next president of the United States at 11.25 a.m. Saturday morning by television networks and the Associated Press – as Donald Trump played golf. CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, the AP and USA Today all made the call. Fox News did not immediately follow suit. Votes in Philadelphia pushed his margin in must-win Pennsylvania over the edge. That took him to 273 electoral votes – putting the 77-year-old on a clear path to the White House.

Kamala Harris, his running mate becomes the first female vice president, and the first black and Asian-American vice president. The call ended a rollercoaster which began on Tuesday when polls closed, and now turns the spotlight on Donald Trump and how he will react. Biden should now be sworn in on January 20 as the 46th President of the United States – barring an extraordinary legal upset caused by one of the blizzard of lawsuits Trump has threatened, but which so far have failed to generate legal traction.

The apparent president-elect is now preparing to address the nation tonight but there was no obvious sign that Trump will offer a concession speech or public appearance of his own.

But it isn’t over. The media can proclaim it all they want. But Joe Biden is not President of the United States of America until he is sworn into office, and he should not be unless and until it can be proven, beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt, that his election was legitimate.

The Deep State has made its play. The ball is now in President Trump’s court. Pray that he chooses wisely and well.
