Leave that off barrie. I have had a Barbour "Westmorland" for more than 40 years and have just replaced it. I always feel it sets me off just enough from the rest of the Communists I usually knock around with.Originally Posted by barrie_burn

Texas bid thrown out by Supreme Court
The decision paves the way for the members of the electoral college to meet in state capitals across the US on Monday. At that point, the door to Mr Trump's legal challenges to the election will slam closed. And while his supporters may try a last-ditch effort to block Mr Biden's victory in Congress in January, those political manoeuvres are destined to fail. Democrats will make sure of that.
The implications of this challenge, however, are unlikely to quickly fade away. Eigh**** states and more than 100 Republicans in Congress endorsed discarding the results of the election and putting the White House in the hands of state legislatures.

For what purpose only God knows, but the Orange Buffoon continues his unprecedented murder of Death Row inmates. Two gone this week.

In those younger days I went wi mi mates a camping near Longdale Pike, By the time we got there this field was full of tents,so OK lets stack it on the hillside ,we did and maybe went for a drink. It was great to hear the climbers,campers and personal in the pubs singing at the top of their voices ,various songs, ''She'a lassie from Lancashire ,"the Blaydon Races" etc etc. ( Ah me lads, ye shudda seen us gannin',We pass'd the foaks alang the road just as they wor stannin'But back to roost about ten just as it started raining,and did it rain, non stop. About 3 am we had to grab the pole,just to hold it up,then we discovered a stream,or water under us. We made it without much sleep but in the morning all the field was waterlogged ,drenched the lot of them,but we the amateurs = Yee haw!!

The map of Morocco changed following agreement: "40 years of discussions deleted in a tweet"
The United States changed the map of Morocco, following the agreement with Israel as part of which the Americans recognised Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. Neighbouring Algeria is furious: "Israel is trying to get closer to our border." . And what will Biden do?
Yesterday, the United States adopted a "new official map" of Morocco, which also includes the disputed territory of Western Sahara. The map, published at a ceremony organised by the US Embassy in Rabat, was presented two days after a series of tweets by US President Donald Trump announcing the normalisation of Israeli-Moroccan relations, along with his decision to recognise Western Sahara as part of Morocco.
Political sources estimate that in the Trump era, which ends next month, more countries will announce agreements with Israel - perhaps to take advantage of the benefits that the outgoing president distributes in return. Among others, Oman, Indonesia and countries in Africa have been marked - and on the other hand, Saudi Arabia will probably wait for Baiden. Report: In addition to recognising Western Sahara, Morocco will also receive advanced UAV's in a arms deal worth a billion dollars.
The conflict over control of Western Sahara, a huge desert region of the Atlantic coast, erupted in 1975, after Spanish colonial forces left the region. Morocco claimed that the territory belonged to Morocco, and for 16 years waged war there against the Polisario movement, which demanded independence for the inhabitants of the region and also declared such independence in 1976, when it announced the establishment of the "Saharan Arab Democratic Republic".
Algeria, where the Polisario movement is located and home to nearly 200,000 Western Sahara refugees, was completely surprised by the American move. Former Secretary of Defence Mark Asper visited the country just two months ago, and the U.S. military tried to develop ties with Algeria for a joint fight against terrorism,
Gerard Arrow, former French ambassador to Israel, at the UN and in Washington, tweeted: "In the small world of diplomacy, this is a bomb. 40 years of discussions were erased in a tweet. What will the Biden administration do? "

This is interesting, I keep reading that the US courts have thrown out the evidence that there was vote rigging in the election, but it seems none of the evidence has actually been heard in a court of law yet.
"THE United States Supreme Court has rejected the lawsuit brought by the state of Texas challenging the presidential election result on the grounds that Texas does not have ‘standing’ to bring the case. The state has ‘not demonstrated a judicially cognisable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections’, the court opined. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas did not appear to agree with their colleagues in this but evidently did not prevail.
The legion critics of the legal actions being brought by Trump and others are fond of pointing out how many of the cases have already been thrown out by the courts. But, as Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani notes, no court has yet given the evidence a hearing of any kind: ‘Not a single court decision has had a hearing yet. They haven’t heard from a single witness. They haven’t looked at a single tape. They haven’t listened to a single recording.’
The baffling question to neutral observers is: Why don’t they want to know?"
Good question that last one isn't it, seems my man in the USA was spot on when he said, 'There was vote-rigging on an industrial scale, but Trump will never be able to prove it'.
He knew.

Meanwhile is refusal to accept defeat is having dire consequences...

Biden has officially won the US Presidential election after the Electoral College finalised the result.
The confirmation hands the former Vice-President 306 Electoral College votes to Mr Trump’s 232.
GOP still contesting it saying
Biden has not won anything until the electoral college cast their vote in January and Biden wins that vote.
What fun

What was the point of the US Election, if it could be overturned in January?
