Despite what President Donald Trump is tweeting and saying publicly in the wake of Arizona and Wisconsin certifying President-elect Joe Biden's victory Monday, Trump sees the scoreboard and understands he has no chance of hanging on to the presidency, two White House advisers told CNN.

Asked whether the President realizes that he's been defeated, a close adviser who has been in contact with Trump about his legal strategy said Monday: "Yes, he does."

The same adviser told CNN that Trump will continue to pursue his legal challenges until they are exhausted, but that adviser pointed to the certification in Wisconsin and said, "The writing is on the wall." Without the ability to override the results in a combination of states, not to mention even one state, the adviser said Trump's election challenges are obviously doomed.

Trump is still sounding as if he could still win because he wants to believe it, the adviser continued. But the adviser added Trump is fully aware that he has lost.

Trump has not conceded the election and he still falsely claims that he won, but his administration has approved access to transition materials and national security briefings for Biden and his team.

Trump okays transition to Biden after Michigan certifies vote.

US President-elect Joe Biden on Monday was formally given the go-ahead by a federal agency to begin his transition to the presidency, shortly after the battleground state of Michigan certified him as the winner there.

With the rapid-fire developments, President Donald Trump's already languishing efforts to overturn his November 3 defeat appeared to be coming to a close.

The US General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency, informed Biden that his transition "leading up to a January 20 swearing-in" could officially begin.

GSA Administrator Emily Murphy made the determination after Trump's efforts to challenge the vote failed across battleground states, citing, "recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results."

Trump, who had refused to concede the election, said in a tweet that he is directing his team to cooperate on the transition but is vowing to keep up the fight.

In a tweet, Trump wrote that Murphy and her team should "do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same."

The GSA had been withholding access to transition funding, leading to bipartisan criticism.

The Biden-Harris Transition Executive Director Yohannes Abraham reacted to the news in a statement: "This final decision is a definitive administrative action to formally begin the transition process with federal agencies."

In the days ahead, transition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full accounting of our national security interests, and gain complete understanding of the "Trump administration's efforts to hollow out government agencies."

Everyone ought to know by now that mankind is destroying the earth. Most people in America have heard all the arguments about this, all the reasons why, along with many facts and figures describing the damage. Some people try to have hope while others are hopeless. Then there are many who just don't seem to care.

The earth is our home. We were made from it and we are sustained by it. We are deeply moved by its mysterious beauty and we are destroying it.

What is wrong with us? Who isn't guilty? We were given the earth as a home. One look at it's beauty and abundance reveals the love of our Creator. We as humans are expected to respond with love and take proper care of the earth and one another.

Over 2700 years ago someone prophesied saying:

The earth is polluted by its inhabitants; for they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse devours the earth and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men are left. (Isaiah 24:5-6)

Joe Biden president elect and Kamala Harris vice-president elect were very positive in Delaware tonight as both gave their address to the nation. Time for a new deal in the whitehouse. Trump has poisoned America long enough.

Seems like only yesterday that I was worried about becoming old; well here I am turning 71 on Nov the 3rd. I would like to say to fate: "do not pass go do not turn 71" but alas, life is not a game; life is the "real-deal"!

So I hold my head high and thank the good lord that I am reasonably healthy, reasonably sane and still strummin' my guitar.
