Joe's smartly just bidin' his time, as it looks like the blue wave arrived a little later than expected. For those who sat up all night checking the latest releases from GA and PA, searching for that magic moment … it was a long night. But magic did arrive in the early hours of Friday as Joe Biden pulled ahead in GA. Best of all, it pulled ahead when the votes from Clayton County—John Lewis’ former district—were reported. Just another reminder that the nation owes a tremendous debt to the Black voters who are once again set to deliver a victory that has leaned far too hard on their support. ...Moments after this article first went up, a batch of just over 30,000 votes came in from the Philly area. Those votes completely erased Trump’s 18,000 vote lead at that time and put Biden ahead 3,295,304 to 3,289,717. Biden’s lead in PA is expected to grow.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
