Opinion: Having the Election Conform to the Constitution: Epoch Times

Forget the Krakens, Dominion voting machines, harvested, absentee, and mail-in ballots, early voting, and all the other squid ink that’s been expelled into the atmosphere since the highly contested presidential election of Nov. 3, 2020. The only thing that matters this week—indeed, the only thing that has ever mattered—is whether the 50 separate state elections for president of the United States were conducted in accordance with the Constitution and other applicable federal customs and statutes. That’s the point that Sens. Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, and others are making in their last-ditch effort to at least raise the issue. They write: “America is a republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections. Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law.

Xi Orders China’s Military to Focus on ‘Preparing for War’ as Party Approaches 100th Anniversary: Epoch Times

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has commanded the regime’s military to focus on “preparing for war,” as Beijing looks to make a splash in 2021—the year marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In the first order of the year, Xi instructed the forces to ratchet up military training.

…In 2020, Beijing’s stated defense budget was $178 billion, roughly a quarter of U.S. defense spending that year, although experts estimate that the amount was much higher. According to a March 2020 report, the CCP’s military spending is 87 percent that of the United States’ defense budget.

Congress Approves Rules Regulating Jan. 6 Electoral Vote Count: Epoch Times

The certificates and papers will be opened, presented, and acted upon in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama. This is when dozens of Republicans—at least 50 representatives and 12 senators, according to an Epoch Times tally—are planning to object to some certificates, alleging election irregularities including voter fraud and failure to follow state election laws. …That will trigger a withdrawal from the joint session and a two-hour debate followed by votes in each chamber. Only with a majority vote from both the House and the Senate would a challenge be upheld, which even supporters find unlikely, considering that Democrats, who control the House, and Senate Republican leadership, including McConnell, have expressed disapproval of the plan to object.
