CNN claims two sources who say Jared Kushner has approached President Trump about conceding the election.
Now we know that CNN is 99.9% Fake News ... but maybe this time they are right ... we will find out soon..
Sources told Newsmax that Fox News' Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro was suspended over a spat on the network's coverage of President Donald Trump.
Sources close to the network told Newsmax, because she defended President Trump and "wanted to expose the vote fraud that took place in the election", Fox News decided not to air her show. It had extended coverage of Democrat Joe Biden's acceptance speech of the contested election.
The sources gave no inclination of whether the network is going to keep the show going, but Newsmax says she was suspended at least for this weekend.

THANKS SO MUCH, IT MEANS A LOT ESPECIALLY IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES!
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning congratulated Joe Biden after US news outlets declared him the winner of the election.
"Congratulations Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Joe, we’ve had a long & warm personal relationship for nearly 40 years, and I know you as a great friend of Israel. I look forward to working with both of you to further strengthen the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel," he tweeted.
Netanyahu also thanked Trump for his friendship and actions taken during his presidency.
"Thank you Donald Trump for the friendship you have shown the state of Israel and me personally, for recognizing Jerusalem and the Golan, for standing up to Iran, for the historic peace accords and for bringing the American-Israeli alliance to unprecedented heights."
Last night, opposition Chairman MK Yair Lapid rebuked Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Benny Gantz, and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi for maintaining silence hours after American media outlets announced Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election.
"The fact that Netanyahu, Gantz, and Ashkenazi have not yet congratulated the president-elect of the United States is shameful cowardice that harms the interests of the State of Israel.
"If the President of France, the German Chancellor, and the British Prime Minister can do it, so can you," Lapid tweeted.
The Trump administration fired the heads of three federal agencies after the election, prompting one to claim he was retaliated against for disagreeing with some policy.
The heads of the agencies that oversee the nuclear weapons stockpile, electricity and natural gas regulation and overseas aid were sent packing, NPR reported.
The sudden departures included Lisa Gordon-Hagerty, administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, who was forced to resign Friday. She was the first woman to oversee the agency in charge of the nuclear stockpile. Last year, she was on the president’s short list as a possible replacement for former National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Bonnie Glick, was replaced by the acting administrator John Barsa, and Neil Chatterjee, chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, were also sacked.
Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future

The Trump Accountability Project was launched on November 3 and is compiling lists of Trump campaign employees, and supporters. They say their purpose is to "never forget" and "not allow" those who "elected him," "staffed his government," and "funded him" to "profit from their experience," reported Disrn News.
The group is seeking software engineers to help the group "archive a large number of campaign/administration staffer tweets" in order to not let "Trump officials ... hide their records."
It continues: "We should welcome in our fellow Americans with whom we differ politically. But those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration should not profit from their efforts to tear our democracy apart. The world should never forget those who, when faced with a decision, chose to put their money, their time, and their reputations behind separating children from their families, encouraging racism and anti-Semitism, and negligently causing the unnecessary loss of life and economic devastation from our country's failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic."
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked on Friday if "[anyone] is archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity [with Trump] in the future." Ocasio-Cortez also mocked "the 'party of personal responsibility' for being upset at the idea of being responsible for their behavior over [the] last four years."

Former UK Chief Rabbi Jonathan Henry Sacks, British Orthodox rabbi, philosopher, theologian, author and politician, has passed away.
He served as the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth from 1991 to 2013.
As the spiritual head of the United Synagogue, the largest synagogue body in the UK, he was the Chief Rabbi of those Orthodox synagogues, but was not recognized as the religious authority for the Haredi Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations or for the progressive movements such as Masorti, Reform and Liberal Judaism.
s Chief Rabbi, Sacks formally carried the title of Av Beit Din (head) of the London Beth Din. He was most recently known as the Emeritus Chief Rabbi.
The official announcement of his passing read: "Baruch Dayan Ha’Emet. It with the deepest sadness that we regret to inform you that Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks (HaRav Ya’akov Zvi ben David Arieh z’’l) passed away early this morning, Saturday 7th November 2020 (Shabbat Kodesh 20th MarCheshvan 5781)."
Ohr Torah Stone President & Rosh HaYeshiva Rabbi Kenneth Brander responded to news of the passing: "Baruch Dayan HaEmet. The Jewish People and the world have lost great light and leader with the passing of HaRav Lord Jonathan Sacks.
"We are all his students! His legacy will continue through all of us who he inspired. May his family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion & Jerusalem."
Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Saturday, according to major US networks who made statistical projections, positioning himself to lead a nation gripped by the historic pandemic and a confluence of economic and social turmoil.
His victory came after more than three days of uncertainty as election officials sorted through a surge of mail-in votes that delayed the processing of some ballots. Biden crossed 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania.
Biden, 77, staked his candidacy less on any distinctive political ideology than on galvanizing a broad coalition of voters around the notion that Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy. The strategy proved effective, resulting in pivotal victories in Michigan and Wisconsin as well as Pennsylvania, onetime Democratic bastions that had flipped to Trump in 2016.
Biden was on track to win the national popular vote by more than 4 million, a margin that could grow as ballots continue to be counted.
Trump seized on delays in processing the vote in some states to falsely allege voter fraud and argue that his rival was trying to seize power — an extraordinary charge by a sitting president trying to sow doubt about a bedrock democratic process.
As the vote count played out, Biden tried to ease tensions and project an image of presidential leadership, hitting notes of unity that were seemingly aimed at cooling the temperature of a heated, divided nation.
"We have to remember the purpose of our politics isn't total unrelenting, unending warfare," Biden said Friday night in Delaware. "No, the purpose of our politics, the work of our nation, isn't to fan the flames of conflict, but to solve problems, to guarantee justice, to give everybody a fair shot."
Kamala Harris also made history as the first Black woman to become vice president, an achievement that comes as the U.S. faces a reckoning on racial justice. The California senator, who is also the first person of South Asian descent elected to the vice presidency, will become the highest-ranking woman ever to serve in government, four years after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.
Rabbi Dovid Feinstein, head of the Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim in New York, a member of the Council of Torah Scholars in the United States, has passed away. He was 91 years old at his passing.
Rabbi Feinstein was born in 1929 in Lyuban, USSR, and was a Torah scholar and halakhic authority, and was considered by many as the leading halachic authority in the United States.
He served as the rosh yeshiva (dean) of the Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim yeshiva elementary and high school and kollel, inheriting the position after the passing of his father Rabbi Moshe Feinstein in 1986.
He was also a prolific and erudite author, penning at least 9 sefarim on such topics as halakha, Torah, and the Jewish calendar, as well as some popular Passover Haggadahs.
His is the first name in the Mesorah Heritage Foundation box of the inner cover in Artscroll publications.
His brother, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, is rosh yeshiva of the Staten Island branch of Mesivta Tiferes Yerushalayim.
The foul-mouthed female protester who was arrested Wednesday for spitting in the face of an NYPD officer once interned for a high-ranking House Democrat.
Devina Singh, 24, spent about a month in 2018 working as a social work intern for U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, the Daily News reported.
Singh 'did not complete the internship and left shortly after the internship started for personal reasons,' Nadler's district director, Robert Gottheim, told the News.
Gottheim did not elaborate further on why she left prematurely after starting in September 2018.
Singh, of Brooklyn, was among the 57 people arrested in New York City on Wednesday night after she was filmed in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood screaming 'f**k you fascist' at an NYPD officer before spitting in his face.
Footage of her spitting at the officer, which went viral on Twitter, was immediately condemned by the NYPD and police unions.
'Actions like this will not be tolerated. Agitators who commit these acts will be arrested,' the NYPD tweeted alongside the video.
After the incident, Singh was thrown to the ground and arrested.
