Roger, a Filipino immigrant, told NTD that he came from Texas, calling the election a battle between freedom and communism. "We came from Texas. We're supposed to be on vacation but we realized there's MAGA support rallies. So, we have to do our part as patriot Americans because this might be our last chance.

Pennsylvania voters voiced their concerns over the fast spread of communism in the country at a "Stop the Steal" rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. "Communism is spreading faster in this country than the virus," one attendee said. "It's kind of play our words to top the spread. We see other nations fall to the tyranny of the communism, like Russia, China, Southeast Asian countries, Central American countries, even Venezuela. We can't let that happen here in America. Our fall will be much worse than other countries. Another person told NTD, "I am here because I have children. We need to stand up for this country. This is the birth place of democracy." "I am here because I am very alarmed of the fraud that I detected. I analyzed the data in Pennsylvania," NTD also heard from a participant at the rally.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Sunday threatened to sue the Trump administration over its vaccine distribution plan, arguing that it “does not provide an equitable vaccine process.” Cuomo has previously argued that the Trump administration’s vaccine distribution plan relies too heavily on hospitals, clinics, and drug stores to deliver the vaccine to people, and that communities of color may have limited access to the country’s public or private healthcare systems. “The Trump administration is designing the distribution plan, and their plan basically has private health care companies administer the vaccines,” Cuomo said during a Sunday morning service in Manhattan’s Riverside Church. “The president talks about CVS and Walgreens and national chains. Sure. But they are mainly located in rich communities, not in poor communities. My friends, we cannot compound the racial injustice that COVID has already created. And let me be clear—the Black and brown communities that were …Read More Fr..
Georgia’s upcoming runoff election in January is "about the people of Georgia” and not about regaining control of the Senate, Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock said on Sunday. During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Warnock, who is aiming to unseat Georgia’s GOP senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue with Jon Ossoff in January, said that the race “is not about me” but about the people of Georgia. Warnock, 51, then added, "Chuck Schumer's name is certainly not on the ballot,” referring to last week's remarks from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that Democrats would take Georgia and “change America.” "I will tell you what is on the ballot," he continued. "Health care is on the ballot—access to affordable health care. We have got 500,000 Georgians in the Medicaid gap. We have got 1.8 million Georgians with preexisting conditions.” He later said that he was hopeful that once Georgians “hear …Read More From Source The Epoch Times
