No One Hacked The Election; ‘The Will of the American People’ Was Reflected

by  MATT VESPA of TOWNHALL

As Green Party candidate Jill Stein plans to file petition to recount the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the Obama administration has come out to say unequivocally that the election was no hacked, and that the “will of the American people” was reflected in the results, according to The New York Times. Stein’s recount effort is grounded in allegations, very shoddy ones to be exact, that machines were hacked, which was exacerbated by an article in NY Magazine. Keep in mind, there’s zero evidence that any hacking occurred as well.

The publication added that no increased cyber activity was detected on Election Day, and that Stein’s recount challenge has to wait until Monday to be filed, so be on the lookout for that development. In Pennsylvania, Stein will have challenge the Pennsylvania result I court, as the deadline for a recount in the Keystone State has passed:

The Obama administration said on Friday that despite Russian attempts to undermine the presidential election, it has concluded that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.”

The statement came as liberal opponents of Donald J. Trump, some citing fears of vote hacking, are seeking recounts in three states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — where his margin of victory was extremely thin.

In Michigan, Ms. Stein must wait for a Monday meeting of the state’s Board of Canvassers to certify the results of the Nov. 8 balloting before filing for a recount. In Pennsylvania, where paper ballots are used only in some areas, election officials said that the deadline to petition for a recount had passed, but that a candidate could challenge the result in court before a Monday deadline.
The recount efforts have generated pushback by experts who said it would be enormously difficult to hack voting machines on a large scale. The administration, in its statement, confirmed reports from the Department of Homeland Security and intelligence officials that they did not see “any increased level of malicious cyberactivity aimed at disrupting our electoral process on Election Day.”

Again, folks; Trump won the election. There’s no way recounting the votes will determine voter fraud. It’s incredibly difficult to rig an election in the manner liberals are hypothesizing. And it doesn’t negate that fact that Clinton lost because Trump drive up the margins in the rural counties, millions of Obama supporters flipped for Trump, and that Clinton couldn’t get the Obama coalition that dominates the urban areas excited enough for them to turnout in droves like in 2008 and 2012. Why? Because Hillary Clinton isn’t Barack Obama and Democrats learned the hard way that their eight-year honeymoon was only made possible because they had a solid candidate. Clinton is one of the worst candidates to ever be nominated by a major party; she was under FBI investigation when she won the primary contest. Going from a charismatic, vibrant black president to…Clinton? Yeah, SNL had it right for that opening skit with host Dave Chappelle. Of course, no one was excited for Clinton. That’s why they stayed home in Flint, Detroit, and Milwaukee. It seems we’re still months away from the “Clinton sucked and that’s why she lost” stage of the grief process on the Left.

NRCS SNRCS Seeks Applications for $25 Million in Conservation Innovation Grants

Indianapolis, IN, November 8, 2016 – Indiana State Conservationist Jane Hardisty today announced that USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is seeking new proposals for cutting-edge projects that will provide new conservation opportunities through its competitive Conservation Innovation Grants (CIG) program. NRCS will invest up to $25 million for projects that spark the development and adoption of innovative conservation technologies and approaches in areas like conservation finance, data analytics, and precision conservation to benefit producers on private agricultural and forest lands.

“Conservation Innovation Grants have played a critical role in developing and implementing creative new methods to conserve the nation’s private agricultural lands and strengthening rural communities,” said Hardisty. “Today’s announcement builds on our support of technologies and approaches that help producers increase resiliency to extreme weather such as drought and floods.”

CIG is authorized and funded under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and fosters innovative conservation projects that accelerate the transfer and adoption of promising technologies that benefit natural resources, agricultural production and forest management. The 2017 focus areas for project proposals include the following:

Innovative approaches that benefit historically underserved and veteran farmers, beginning farmers and those with limited resources;
Natural resources data analytics tools—such as software and mobile apps—that increase producer knowledge of conservation benefits and alternatives;
Precision conservation tools that uncover opportunities for better input management (for example, nutrient management addressing source, timing, rate and placement), or address in-field vulnerabilities;
Conservation finance approaches that demonstrate the potential for new investment strategies to accelerate and expand private lands conservation;
Demonstration, evaluation and quantification of the effects of water management and soil health practices to minimize off-site impacts of natural resource challenges, such as excess sediment and nutrient runoff;
Pay-for-success models that stimulate conservation adoption and achievement of measurable outcomes.
Potential applicants should review the announcement for program funding that is available on www.grants.gov. Proposals are due by Jan. 9, 2017, and final CIG funding is subject to fiscal year 2017 funding actions. American Indian tribes, state and local units of government, non-governmental organizations and individuals are eligible to submit proposals.

Eagles suffers first loss of ’16-17

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball concluded USI Thanksgiving Classic with a 79-61 loss to Michigan Tech University Sunday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center. USI sees its record go to 5-1 overall, while Michigan Tech goes to 4-1.

The Screaming Eagles fell behind in the first two quarters of the game, trailing by as many as seven points four times. The score was tied 4-4 at 7:23 of the opening quarter before the Huskies took the lead and held it through halftime, posting 38-32 lead at the intermission.

Senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) had the hot hand for the Eagles in the opening half, posting nine points on four-of-four from the field and one-of-one from long range for nine points. Junior forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) tied Marcum for the team lead in the first half with nine points.

The third quarter saw the Huskies turn up the heat as they outscored the Eagles, 26-10, and took command with a 64-42 advantage at the end of 30 minutes. USI shot 12.5 percent (1-8) during the deciding third quarter, compared to the 45 percent (9-20) by Michigan Tech.

In the fourth quarter, the Eagles trailed by 24 points early, 66-42, before cutting the deficit to as few as 15 points, 70-55, with 4:57 left. That would be as close as USI would get before the buzzer sounded on the 79-61 loss.

Marcum and Grooms finished on top of the Eagles scoring column with 11 points each, while sophomore center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) ended the game with a team-high six rebounds.

USI hits the road this week to open Great Lakes Valley Conference action, traveling to McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois, December 1, and the University of Illinois Springfield in Springfield, Illinois, December 3. The Eagles return the friendly surroundings of the PAC December 7 when they host a non-conference match-up with Kentucky State University.

In Sunday’s first game, eighth-ranked Bellarmine University defeated Young Harris College, 73-55.

 

Taylor scores 22 as Aces wrap up Challenge in Music City

0

Evansville set to return home on Wednesday

Ryan Taylor reeled off the first 11 points of the game and finished with a career high of 22 but Middle Tennessee State overcame his efforts to earn a 66-55 win over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team in Sunday’s final game of the Challenge in Music City at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.

Taylor paced the Purple Aces (2-4) with his 22 tallies as he went 8-of-13 from the field and hit three triples.  Willie Wiley was next in the scorebook with 9 points.  He also had five rebounds.  In his first start at UE, Sergej Vucetic finished with four points and a team-best six rebounds.  David Howard matched his mark on the boards.

JaCorey Williams led MTSU (6-1) with 25 points, ten rebounds and four assists.

“We had stretches where we played extremely well and did some good things in all three games,” UE head coach Marty Simmons said.  “There are a lot of positives we can take away and get better moving forward.  We are thankful to all of those who came down here to support us, it means a ton.”

Middle Tennessee State scored the opening five points of the game and extended the run to 9-3 as they hit four of their first five shots of the night.  Ryan Taylor kept the Aces in the contest as he scored the first 11 UE points as the squad took their first lead at 11-9 with 15:08 left in the first half.

Taylor helped the Aces post a 16-0 run.  Down 9-3, the Aces made the run to take a 19-9 lead.  Willie Wiley capped off the run with a jumper while Taylor was responsible for 13 of the tallies.  The Blue Raiders fought their way back as eight early JaCorey Williams points saw them cut the gap to three at 22-19 inside of 9-minute mark.  They continued to fight back as the half wound down, hitting a pair of free throws to make it a 29-29 game at the break.

After Sergej Vucetic hit a layup in the first possession of the second half, Giddy Potts hit a trey to give MTSU its first lead since the opening moments of the game.  Six lead changes led to a 39-38 Blue Raider lead.  At that point, they went on a 10-2 run to take a 49-40 advantage, their largest edge of the game.

Their lead reached as many as ten before the Aces made their way back.  A quick 5-0 spurt got the Aces back within five at 54-49 with five minutes left, but the Blue Raiders were able to counter, going up by as many as 13 before finishing with the 66-55 final.

Evansville will be back at the Ford Center on Wednesday to face Wabash.  Game time is 7 p.m.

Three-pointer at the buzzer gives UNC Wilmington 65-62 win over Aces

0

UE looks to rebound on Sunday against MTSU 

A three-pointer at the buzzer gave UNC Wilmington a 65-62 win over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team on Saturday at the Challenge in Music City at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.

Leading the Purple Aces (2-3) was Ryan Taylor, who connected on 9 of his 18 attempts to tie for the game high with 18 points.  Just behind him was Willie Wiley, who shot an efficient 7-of-11 en route to a career mark of 15 points.  One night after registering 39 points, Jaylon Brown finished with 12.  Ten of those came in the second half.

UNC Wilmington (4-1) was led by an 18-point effort from Chris Flemmings.

A quick 2-for-2 start from the floor saw Evansville take a 4-0 lead before the Seahawks matched it to knot the score at 4-4.  They would later take their first lead of the night at 7-6.

With the score tied up at 12-12 with 12:19 remaining in the first stanza, freshman Dru Smith gave UE a 15-12 lead on an old fashioned three-point play.  The Aces did not give up the lead over the remainder of the half.  Two Duane Gibson free throws gave Evansville a 25-18 lead before a pair of triples got UNCW back within one.

Taylor, who scored 14 points in the first half, helped the Aces pad their lead at 32-29 heading into the locker room.  He also matched his career mark with six rebounds in the first 20 minutes of play, being on the floor for the duration.

UNC Wilmington hit the first bucket of the second half before Dru Smith knocked down the first 3-pointer of his young college career to get the Aces on the board.  After forcing a Seahawk miss, Willie Wiley matched his career-best with his 8th point of the night, giving UE a 37-31 lead.

Mired by foul trouble for most of the night, Jaylon Brown made his presence known, scoring nine in a row for the Purple Aces to give them a 48-38 lead inside of 12 minutes remaining.  A pair of triples by the Seahawks got them right back in the contest and was the start of a 15-4 run that saw them take a 53-52 lead with 9:05 left in the contest.  They drained four triples in the rally.

Five lead changes ensued before Wiley hit a free throw to give UE a 61-60 edge with under two minutes left.  Another free throw gave the Aces a 2-point lead before UNC Wilmington tied it up on a runout following an Aces turnover.  With 30 ticks left on the clock, UE called a time out.  The ensuing play saw UNCW force another turnover, getting their turn with 5.7 seconds left.  At the buzzer, Denzel Ingram hit the game-winning triple to give the Seahawks the win.

Middle Tennessee State will mark the final opponent of the weekend as the Aces will take them on in the tournament finale on Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
