First tonight a quick analysis of the political situation. There are still legal challenges and still vote counts underway in a number of states with recounts set to begin in others in the coming days. States have not certified the Presidential candidate who won yet.
This weekend in the Newsdump period specifically late Saturday morning votes were produced in Pennsylvania to lead both the mainstream media and former Vice-President Joe Biden to proclaim victory with foreign leaders and former presidents reinforcing the notion, along with corporate CEO's (I have read the memo of a prominent CEO in recent hours).
There are still more chapters in this story to be written.

Election Day in the southeastern Asian nation of Myanmar (formerly Burma). The country's de-facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi said the elections were more important than COVID-19.

Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, has fallen out of favor in global circles over the conflict between the country's Buddhist majority and the Rohingya Muslim minority with allegations of ethnic cleansing and charges at the International Criminal Court. Suu Kyi says the country is fighting Islamic terrorism and extremism.
