Election Interference? Dems Won’t Certify Election If Trump Wins
Election Interference? Dems Won’t Certify Election If Trump Wins
Authored by Dmytro âHenryâ Aleksandrov via Headline USA,
Despite their constant whining about the Jan. 6, 2021, âinsurrection,â the Democrats recently admitted that they wonât certify the 2024 election results if Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is elected.
Axios reported that the Democrats would certify the election results only if Trump used âfree, fair and honest means to secure a victory,â which, according to Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., is not what Trump would do. This statement implies that he would be declared a winner only if he cheats.
â[Trump] is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether weâre talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments,â the politician told the news source.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., also questioned whether Trump would win the election fair and square, telling Axios that she doesnât know âwhat kind of shenanigans he is planning.â
Conservatives on Twitter pointed out the hypocrisy after the article was published.
âIâve been told this type of rhetoric is âdangerous to our democracyâ or something,â @Patriot_Vibes wrote.

Co-owner of Trending Politics, Colin Rugg, also mocked the Democrats who have been talking non-stop about Republicans and Trumpâs alleged attempt to overthrow the government at the beginning of 2021.
âThe âdemocracy defendersâ wonât commit to certifying an election?â he wrote.

Others wrote that the recent news is a warning from Democrats about their own insurrection, this time it being real and violent.

Some conservatives noted that hearing about the recent news was not surprising after the Democrats replaced Joe Biden, who was elected by leftists during the primaries, with the current Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, who nobody cared about before the disastrous debate between Trump and Biden.
âNo surprise there. They threw democracy out the window when they put Kamala in w/o a single vote. Why wouldnât they pull some more shenanigans? Weâll get SCOTUS involved if we have to, but they need to do their job or GTFO,â an anonymous person wrote.

The Democratsâ recent comments are also unsurprising because Raskin said he would never allow Trump to be in the White House again.
âIâve been warning of this for months. Here is Rep Jamie Raskin confirming what Iâve been predicting. Even if President Trump wins the 2024 election, Democrats will not accept the results and refuse to leave the White House, creating a civil war scenario,â investigative reporter and commentator Drew Hernandez said.

What You Do Now Can Affect Your Brain For 2 Weeks
What You Do Now Can Affect Your Brain For 2 Weeks
Authored by Huey Freeman via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
New research shows that our daily exercise and sleep habits can affect brain function for up to two weeks.
Our brains do not react to things in quick, isolated surges; instead, brain activity evolves over more extended periods.
âThis suggests that even a workout or a restless night from last week could still affect your brainâand therefore your attention, cognition and memoryâwell into next week,â according to the studyâs press release.
Physical activity, sleep patterns, heart rate changes, and even subtle mood shifts can imprint on our neural networks for up to two weeks. This revelation challenges conventional wisdom about brain function and opens new avenues for understanding cognition, memory, and mental health treatment.
Researcher Becomes the Study Subject
Ana Triana, a doctoral candidate at Aalto University in Espoo, Finland, performed double duty as the study subject, tracking her own activities while serving as the research team leader. Brain scans, smartphones, and wearable devices recorded her daily life and brain activities.
This experiment was designed to challenge the conventional wisdom that âjust a few trials are sufficient for correctly sampling an individualâs brain activity and behavior,â the researchers wrote in their study, published Tuesday in the Public Library of Science (P
Triana emphasized the importance of continuous monitoring through wearable technology, noting that traditional brain scans, conducted while a person rests for 30 minutes twice weekly, offer limited insights.
âWe wanted to go beyond isolated events,â Triana said in the press release.
âOur behaviour and mental states are constantly shaped by our environment and experiences. Yet, we know little about the response of brain … on different timescales, from days to months.â
The researchers hope their unique study will help improve mental health treatment, focusing on individual information on the brain and a personâs daily life.
âOur approach gives context to neuroscience and delivers very fine detail to our understanding of the brain,â Dr. Nick Hayward, a physician, a neuroscientist, and study co-author, said in the press release. He added that information from daily life should be examined in a lab âto see the full picture of how our habits shape the brain.â

Sabotage Suspected In Huge Deadly Blast In Russian Muslim-Majority Republic
Sabotage Suspected In Huge Deadly Blast In Russian Muslim-Majority Republic
A massive explosion which appears the result of sabotage or even a possible bombing rocked the Chechen capital of Grozny on Saturday.Â
Local authorities say a fuel tank exploded at a fuel station, resulting in a large blast and fire which left four bystanders dead, including two children, the Russian region’s emergency authority confirmed. The fuel station is reportedly located near a college.
Statements suggest that authorities believe it was either an attack or else severe neglect: “Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, said on Telegram that he had taken the situation under his personal control. He said that those responsible for the blast would be brought to justice, but did not give further details.”
There have been other recent ‘mystery’ blasts in the region, as Reuters details: “Explosions at fuel stations in the neighboring region of Dagestan in September 2024 and August 2023 killed 13 people and 35 people, respectively.”
Though very far away from fighting in Ukraine – as Chechnya is all the way over in the Caucuses next to Georgia – Chechen troops have been very active among Russian forces along the Ukraine front lines.
Given the context of war, suspicion for the blast is likely to fall on the possibility of some kind of Ukraine-connected sabotage op, as has been happening throughout Russia proper since the war began. But there have long been immense tensions between Chechen leaders and neighboring republics, and the incident could have something to do with this internal feud.
Footage from the scene of the fuel station explosion show a massive fireball which sent debris flying in all directions:

Newsweek has provided the following recent context:
Chechnya is largely ruled by Ramzan Kadyrov, a pro-Russian strongman installed by the Kremlin after two devastating wars involving Chechen separatists and Islamic fundamentalists in the 1990s and 2000s. In recent months, Russian infrastructure and military facilities have been hit repeatedly by Ukrainian drones, though the cause of Saturday’s explosion is unclear.
…Tensions have surged in Russia’s restive Caucasus region, which includes Muslim dominated Chechnya, with Kadyrov this week threatening to declare a “blood feud” against Russian lawmakers from the neighboring regions of Dagestan and Ingushetia who he said were involved in a plot to assassinate him.
No official explanation for what caused the deadly blast has yet to be given. Certainly it’s high unlikely that a drone could have made it all the way to Grozny from the Black Sea region, suggesting this was connected to regional politics.
