Gregory Stenstrom, a poll watcher in Pennsylvania and CEO of a data sciences company, testified on Wednesday he witnessed over 24 instances of USB cards being connected to voting machines during ballot counting process.

Stenstrom spoke at a State Senate Majority Policy Committee hearing in Gettysburg, PA. He addressed his observations as a poll watcher in Delaware County, PA:

I personally observed USB cards being uploaded to voting machines by the voting machine warehouse supervisor on multiple occasions. I saw this personally. I brought it to the attention of the deputy sheriff who was there stationed, who was a senior law enforcement officer, and I brought to the attention of the clerk of elections. 

I brought it to their attention. I objected, and I said this person is not being observed. He’s not part of the process that I can see, and he’s walking in with baggies — which we have pictures of and it was submitted in our affidavits — and he was sticking these USBs into the machines.

So I personally witnessed that happen over 24 times. We have multiple other witnesses who saw it, including Democrat poll watchers.

Stenstrom said he had been told be U.S. Attorney William McSwain such conduct with USBs and voting machines is unusual.

“As of today, 47 USB cards are missing, and they are nowhere to be found,” added Stenstrom. “I was told personally that these 24 to 30 cards that were uploaded weren’t there.”

Stenstrom stated he and a Democrat poll watcher observed between 60,000 and 70,000 unopened mail-in ballots in a locked room:

 

What I observed in the locked room in the back office was 70,000 unopened mail-in ballots. They were in boxes of 500, stacked in neatly. The gentleman that came in with me is a Democrat poll watcher [and] is a forensic pathologist, a very detailed, very dedicated man and he took meticulous notes, as well, and I verified with him, “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?”

We both agreed — a GOP poll watcher and a Democrat poll watcher — that we had witnessed 60 to 70,000 [unopened mail-in ballots]. We had a little bit of a disagreement there. The problem with that was by that time the mail-in ballots had already been counted. So 120,000 mail-in ballots had already been counted, posted, and done. So my question is, where to the 70,000 ballots go? 

And nobody knows we have a picture in here of a large number of boxes that I took that were filled with what appeared to be ballots sitting by the BlueCrest machine. They were there for about three hours and then they disappeared.

Stenstrom described the ballot counting process incorporating elements of “kabuki theater.”

Stenstrom was initially obstructed in his attempts to observe the goings on within the “counting center” on Election Day:

I had been told that there were 10 to 20 GOP poll watchers down there [at the counting center], and everything was well in hand, and out of curiosity I decided to go down. I arrived at six o’clock with four other gentlemen — former military and some good citizens from Delaware County — and we weren’t allowed to get in until eleven o’clock at night, and we had to get some legal help to get us in. So it took us five hours to get upstairs.

[…]

As as an expert in this, I think it’s impossible to verify the validity of about 100,000 to 120,000 votes. Delaware County’s got 425,000 registered voters. Approximately 300,000 of them voted I don’t know what they exact number … but of that number over 100,000 are in question in my mind.

Stenstrom described the election process as “forensically destructive” and lacking a verifiable chain of custody for ballots between their casting and counting.

What I saw as a friend’s six expert was an election process that was forensically destructive in the manner it was conducted, with the envelopes being separated from the ballots and gone to the other side of the room. The problem with that, from being forensically destructive, is that when you go to do a recount, okay, the machines do a pretty good job of recounting so if I have 120,000 mail-in ballots at one side of the room and envelopes at the other side of the room, it’s still going to come out 102,000 votes for Vice President Biden and 18,000 votes for President Trump. I don’t care how many times you recount those votes. Ballots are going to come out the same every time. So the notion of a recount in a forensically destructive process doesn’t work very well.

What we saw there — what I saw there — was a chain of custody in all cases that was broken. [It] was broken for the mail-in ballots, the drop box ballots, the Election Day USB card flash drives.

Stenstrom said all procedures defined by the Delaware County Board of Elections regarding the chain of custody for ballots were not followed.

What have we already learned on this Thanksgiving Day? That we are one vote away, just one little vote, from losing our sacred First Amendment rights, our right to assemble and to worship our God.

You don’t need me to tell you — well, maybe if you attended public schools you do — that one of the primary reasons the pilgrims jumped on the Mayflower and came over to this continent was to escape the religious persecution of fascists like New York’s Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who flagrantly issued an edict outlawing religious services of more than ten or 25 people, depending on the area.

Cuomo audaciously wrote his own law, one that violates the First Amendment’s right to peaceful assembly and the First Amendment’s explicit call for government to not interfere with how American citizens practice their religion.

And all of this is happening in a political environment where the corporate media and Democrats like Cuomo violate their own rules, encourage, and even join violent protests led by the domestic terrorists in Black Lives Matter and Antifa. So…

Some mass (much of it maskless) gatherings are approved while peaceful religious gatherings are not.

This, by the way — this singling out of religious people, is the very definition of persecution.

If that’s not disturbing enough, Cuomo would have gotten away with this — no, it’s worse! — a governor singling out the religious for persecution by executive fiat, would not only have gotten away with this were it not for Amy Coney Barrett, he would have received a rubber stamp of approval from the Supreme Court.

As Breitbart News reported earlier, “The U.S. Supreme Court granted an injunction Wednesday evening against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s restrictions on religious services in a 5-4 decision[.]”

If Ruth Bader Ginsberg were still on the Court, Cuomo’s fascist persecution would have been sanctified by the highest court in the land.

And we would have lost 5-4, primarily because of George W. Bush appointee John Roberts, who the useless establishment said was someone who could be counted on not to rewrite the Constitution, and has in practice ended up being just another radical leftist enamored with the authoritarianism of central planning and one-size-fits-all boondoggles like Obamacare.

Let me close with this…

Now that we are all educated on the risks of the coronavirus, there is no valid reason to keep any of these Stalinist lockdown orders in place.

We know the risks.

We know the survival rate, according to the CDC, is around 996 out of 1000, so it should be up to us to assess the risks, to decide whether or not to choose freedom over safety.

If I’m wearing a mask, why should I care if you don’t?

If I’m social distancing, why should I care if you are not?

We didn’t outlaw gay sex when the AIDS virus had a fatality rate of 100 percent, we educated the public on the risks and allowed people to make their own decisions. In that same spirit, we should not be outlawing or restricting ANYTHING in the face of a virus with a 996 out of 1000 survival rate, much less the First Amendment.

But there the First Amendment dangles, by the skin of one measly vote…

The Pentagon will keep its decades-old tradition of ensuring troops deployed overseas, including war zones, get a taste of home with all the trimmings this Thanksgiving.

In a press release issued earlier this week, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) that manages the Pentagon’s global supply chain as the nation’s combat logistics support agency revealed:

This year, service members around the world received an estimated:
• 9,000 whole turkeys
• 51,000 pounds of roasted turkeys
• 74,000 pounds of beef
• 21,000 pounds of ham
• 67,000 pounds of shrimp
• 16,000 pounds of sweet potatoes
• 19,000 pounds of pies and cakes
• 7,000 gallons of eggnog
• And many other holiday treats

Army Col. Eric McCoy, the DLA Troop Support Subsistence Director, said in a statement:

Food is emotional, and this year more than ever, it’s so important that DLA Troop Support got the turkeys, hams, and all the trimmings to our troops wherever they are stationed. Our supply chain takes the holidays very seriously. Our troops are far away from home, and they definitely look forward to this meal. Disappointing them is not an option.

Although the coronavirus pandemic changed the way service members consumed their meals, it did not stop Thanksgiving, one of the greatest American traditions.

DLA noted:

This year, Thanksgiving will be different for our service men and women throughout the world. While meals may be switched to grab-and-go style takeout instead of large group gatherings in dining facilities, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence supply chain is making sure that warfighters everywhere are able to have a home-cooked meal with all the trimmings this holiday.

DLA Troop Support Commander Army Brig. Gen. Gavin Lawrence acknowledged the Chinese virus will make the holidays feel different for troops at home as they are for their families at home. At the state and local level in the U.S., government leaders have placed restrictions on who can come to their private home to eat, asserting that such rules are necessary to keep stem the spread of the disease.

Still, members of the DLA worked with vendors both locally and across the world to make sure that military foodservice professionals had all the essentials to prepare a festive holiday meal for troops away from home this holiday.

DLA Gen. Lawrence declared:

The holidays will look quite different this year for everyone. I’m proud that our workforce is doing everything possible to make sure our warfighters get a proper holiday meal, especially since many of us will not be able to be with our family and friends. We want to make sure they get that taste of home no matter where they are in the world.

For more than 50 years, DLA Troop Support has been providing traditional Thanksgiving food to field kitchens, dining facilities, and galleys to locations in the United States as well as the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Korea, Japan, Qatar, Honduras, and other locations around the world where our service members are deployed.

It takes months for the planning and preparing of the troop’s holiday meal, which this year started in March, coinciding with the coronavirus and making it just that much harder to make it a reality.

“Many ingredients for the meals are on hand at prime vendor locations by September, and the overseas locations start receiving high-volume items, like the turkeys and more than 131 tons of trimmings, in October,” the DLA added.

Frank Gaffney, executive chairman and founder of the Center for Security Policy, appeared on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Jerome Hudson on Wednesday and invited Americans to use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to rededicate themselves to American values of freedom and liberty.

Gaffney urged listeners to read a “Thanksgiving declaration” available at the Great America Party website, laying out America’s founding principles.

“It is an expression of the principles of the Make America Great Again movement,” Gaffney remarked. “[People can] download this statement and share it at their Thanksgiving tables. This is a moment when those of us who believe in this country’s exceptionalism and its founding with the grace of God and the rights that we enjoy, thanks to our Creator, those inalienable rights.”

Gaffney continued, “This is a moment for us to have a refounding, and we think if people will share this [declaration], … we think there’s real opportunity by getting the founding principles right to have sensible people in the Democratic Party, sensible people in the Republican Party, sensible independents, sensible people in the MAGA movement coming together behind a refounding of our country and a reaffirming of those principles.”

LISTEN:

Gaffney remarked, “TheGreatAmericaParty.com will hopefully be a platform for … getting people to coalesce behind a proactive response to the kinds of things that drove our founders into rebellion against a tyrannical non-representative and oppressive government over 200 years ago, and make sure that we don’t go down that road, now.”

The Great America Party’s Thanksgiving statement maintains America’s founding ethos as freedom born through resistance to tyranny. It urges Americans to protect their constitutional rights against an array of forces and groups arrayed against them.

“A rededication to our Nation’s revered principles specifically repudiates today’s anti-American repression,” reads the declaration, identifying an undermining of freedom of speech and expression by “cumulative constraints imposed by traditional media, technology cartels and big government bureaucrats and regulations.”

The statement holds, “To paraphrase the founder of one of the United States’ most important political parties, Abraham Lincoln, the Great America Party looks forward to contributing to unifying and giving voice to the aspirations of Great Americans of every race, creed and background across this country for a new birth of freedom under a government truly of, by and for the people, so that this constitutional Republic, under God, shall not perish from the Earth.”

Continuity of American exceptionalism depends on men and women regularly renewing their commitment to the nation’s founding principles, Gaffney determined.

Via White House:

On Thanksgiving Day, we thank God for the abundant blessings in our lives. As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this season of generosity, hope, and gratitude, we commemorate America’s founding traditions of faith, family, and friendship, and give thanks for the principles of freedom, liberty, and democracy that make our country exceptional in the history of the world.

This November marks 400 years since the Mayflower and its passengers faced the unknown and set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. Propelled by hope for a brighter future, these intrepid men and women endured two long months at sea, tired and hungry, to arrive in a new world full of potential. In the winter weather that greeted their arrival, they lost nearly half of their fellow travelers to exposure, disease, and starvation. Despite unimaginable hardships, these first Americans nevertheless remained firm in their faith and unwavering in their commitment to their dreams. They forged friendships with the Wampanoag Tribe, fostered a spirit of common purpose among themselves, and trusted in God to provide for them. The following year, they celebrated a successful harvest alongside their Native American neighbors — the first Thanksgiving. This seminal event in the history of our Nation is a continual reminder of the power of faith, love, perseverance, prayer, and fellowship.
