It is appalling to me that the democrats are blatantly trying to steal the 2020 presidential election, and their co-conspirators, the mainstream media, and the “deep state” DOJ and FBI, are just looking the other way.
Is there any justice left in America?
We’ll see.
We still have a month and a half until Joe Biden would be sworn in.
In the meantime, I see more and more states rushing to “certify” their elections…, as if this was some sort of irreversible determination.
Please remember that “nothing is written in stone.”
The word “decertify” is also a word we felt the need for in the English language.
Decertify: To remove a certificate or certification from (someone or something), typically for failure to comply with a regulating authority’s rules or standards.
Hmmm…, it seems like that may be applicable in some of these states before too long.
It’s been quite clear, these last four years, that the democrats would stop at nothing to try and delegitimize President Trump, remove him from office, or insure he wasn’t re-elected.
Having failed to remove him from office, it’s apparent that the democrats targeted “swing states” to fraudulently win the election.
The only problem they encountered was that President Trump’s margins for victory were much higher than they anticipated, forcing them to stop the counts in these states, which allowed them to inject the needed number of votes to put Biden ahead.
The ordered recounts haven’t exposed their fraud because they’re just recounting all of the votes, legal or not.
And who’s to say that these recounts are even being handled properly?
I mean, once the whole election process has been called into question, why would anyone trust the vote in these “swing states?”
We saw the counting be inexplicably halted on election night.
Then we saw thousands and thousands of votes magically appear for Joe Biden in the wee hours of the morning.
We saw republican election monitors banned from election polling places.
And we actually saw election officials covering up the windows of their counting rooms!
What exactly were they hiding?
And those are all not to mention the hundreds of affidavits submitted by people who witnessed additional wrong-doing during the election.
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
Could the Supreme Court delay the transfer of power until the integrity of the election was determined?
Could the Supreme Court order a revote in the states in question?
This may be the only fair way to resolve this election.
Like I said, we’ll find out very shortly if there is any justice left in America.
For all of our sakes, I really hope there is.

According to Joshua Q. Nelson of Fox News, “Jonathan Turley says Trump’s attacks on judges over election rulings are ‘unfair.’”
‘“There is a disconnect between the evidence and the relief being sought,’ Turley says”
Turley also adds that, “The odds are against Trump in flipping states.”
No kidding?
Well thank you very much, Captain Obvious!
Yes…, the odds are against The President…, especially when the fake news, liberal propaganda, mainstream media refuses to address any type election malfeasance, and the DOJ and the FBI are completely out to lunch as well.
Please tell us, Mr. Turley, exactly when it was that the odds weren’t against President Trump regarding anything?!
“George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said on Monday that President Trump’s’ ‘attacks’ on judges over their decisions on the 2020 election dispute are ‘unfair.’”
Please, Mr. Turley, let’s not deflect the issue from a presidential election being stolen to your perceived unfairness of judicial treatment.
After all, haven’t we become a country that favors “victims?”
And aren’t President Trump and all of the legal voters in this last election the “victims” here?
‘“There is a disconnect between the evidence and the relief being sought,’ Turley told ‘Fox & Friends.’”
The only “disconnect” here is the “disconnect” between you and your democrat friends and the hard working, law abiding, American people.
“Turley said that although the Trump legal team provided evidence of ‘irregularities, unlawful orders, and thousands of votes that were not counted,’ none of it has ‘amounted to the type of numbers that would change the outcome of a given state.’”
Again, well, thank you very much, Professor Turley, for your astute determination of the cases here.
And, please, let’s not pretend that Professor Turley is some kind of unbiased purveyor of legal wisdom.
The only fair and balanced George Washington University Law Professor is an ex-George Washington University Law Professor.
Believe that.
What President Trump’s legal team has provided is a reason for some of these states in question to hit the pause button and at least have some of their voting systems and voting processes looked at.
I mean, it’s pretty hard for President’s Trump’s legal team to gather any hard evidence, besides the hundreds of affidavits documenting vote processing shenanigans, of course, if they are not allowed access to the voting machines, the actual ballots, and election workers.
‘“More importantly, these judges have balked at the idea of essentially negating millions of votes as a form of relief. And, in Pennsylvania, the courts said, look, these voters do appear to have been denied their right to vote; I’d rather count their votes than not count millions of others, and, that is the disconnect he’s facing,’ Turley said”
All I have to say to these judges is, either the votes were cast legally or they weren’t.
“Negating” fraudulent votes isn’t a bad thing, no matter how many of them there are.
And who exactly was denied their “right to vote?”
Perhaps people who died prior to the Civil War.
I mean, even the democrats had to draw the line somewhere!
And you’d rather count these potentially illegal votes, which, in effect, cancels out my vote and thousands of others’ legal votes?
What about our rights, Mr. Turley?
“President Trump blasted judges’ rejections of his legal challenges to 2020 election results and said he couldn’t be certain any of his cases would make it to the Supreme Court in his first interview since Election Day on Sunday.”
‘“We’re not allowed to put in our proof. They say you don’t have standing,’ Trump told ‘Sunday Morning Futures.’ ‘I would like to file one nice big beautiful lawsuit, talking about this and many other things, with tremendous proof. We have affidavits, we have hundreds and hundreds of affidavits.’”
You see, Mr. President, conservatives are held to a completely different standard, compared to the political establishment and the neo-fascist “deep state.”
Perhaps if you could present a single anonymous whistleblower, you may have a better chance!
‘“You mean as president of the United States, I don’t have standing? What kind of a court system is this?’ Trump continued.”
A kangaroo Court, Mr. President!
A Kangaroo Court.
“Most recently, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed a case Saturday night brought by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and a handful of other Republican voters who sought to overturn last year’s law creating no-excuse mail-in voting as well as halt further action in certifying Pennsylvania’s votes.”
“Judge Ken Starr said The President’s path to victory is fading despite ‘numerous’ examples of anecdotal evidence.”
“Turley again stated that Trump’s ‘attacks against the judges’ are “unfair.”
‘“They’re being attacked–the judiciary is being attacked by both Democratic and Republican leaders these days, but, they’re doing their job. They’re trying to rule according to the evidence.’”
Have you heard of any “Democratic leaders” attacking any judges, anywhere?
I sure haven’t.
These judges should be trying to rule according to the actual election laws that are in place, not according to election “rules” adopted by partisan election officials and other activist judges.

For how long and how many times have we heard the liberals decry, “We have to follow the Science?”
Well, apparently, “following the Science” is only a popular liberal catch phrase which is trotted out when it suits their intentions and their politics.
Democrats (blue state governors in particular) have used the China virus as a means to impose a wide range of impositions on our Constitutional freedoms in the name of safety.
Some based on “following the Science,” and some not so much.
Usually only when it was politically convenient.
Dr. Richard Besser, for Fox News, says that, “Despite coronavirus, science is NOT telling us to close schools.”
But how could that be?!
We MUST “follow the Science,” right?!
“Sound science, like the coronavirus itself, is apolitical. Most everything else this year — including decisions on whether to close schools — is not.”
I think if we’ve learned anything these last four years, it’s that nothing is apolitical anymore.
Nothing.
“As the pandemic enters its deadliest phase to date, government leaders and school districts are having to make extraordinarily difficult decisions about whether to continue in-person learning amid record communitywide surges in cases, hospitalizations and deaths.”
Excuse me, but these aren’t “extraordinarily difficult decisions” at all.
The Teachers’ Union has made those decisions for our illustrious political “leaders.”
“New York City’s decision to close schools indefinitely, and the decision in my home state of New Jersey to allow school districts to keep them open, offers a stark contrast in how the two states with the highest death rates for COVID-19 are managing this crisis.”
“As a pediatrician and a parent, I understand the fear, confusion, and even anger that parents and caregivers face today as policymakers grapple with school decisions.”
Can’t you just envision those policymakers “grappling” with those school decisions into the wee hours of the morning?!
“We know that being in the classroom benefits children socially, emotionally and academically.”
Oh, yeah…, so, what’s the problem?
Isn’t it all about the kids?
Of course it’s not.
Huge numbers of these kids have been thrown out with the trash by these supposed caring liberals.
Many of these kids depend on school for at least one or two decent meals each day.
“On the other hand, virtual learning can be a sound option — and when transmission rates rise to unsafe levels, a necessary one — if a student has a computer, a good Internet connection, a quiet workspace, and no special learning needs. For millions of families without these luxuries, however, it’s an unworkable burden and educational disadvantage that many children could bear for a lifetime.”
Ya…, “It’s an unworkable burden and educational disadvantage that many children could bear for a lifetime,” but it’s a sacrifice the liberals and the Teachers’ unions are willing to bear for them on their behalf.
“From a health perspective, it appears that most children fare well if infected, but they can still spread the coronavirus to higher-risk people in their homes, communities and yes, schools. But when schools have the necessary resources and follow strict protocols, in-person learning has worked remarkably well without accelerating community spread.”
Not according to the teachers, apparently.
“Knowing this, we should do all we can to keep kids in school by providing the funds for proper staffing, equipment, protective gear and ventilation systems. Without these supports, we cannot expect schools to remain open.”
Ok, there we go…, we just need to provide more funding.
We should all know by now that it’s always about the money.
The current CDC Director, Robert R. Redfield, says, “Schools are among the safest places kids can be.”
I guess he isn’t considered to have anything to do with “Science.”
“Achievement gaps could be exacerbated when students are out of school, placing yet another burden on children of color.”
“However, the science and data now tell us a much more nuanced story, and we must adapt as new information arrives. That is the fundamental value of rapid learning during a crisis. With differing approaches, schools have shown that safe in-person learning is possible.”
“That’s why New York City’s decision last week to close schools seems to be a case of following a rigid plan written before we knew schools could remain open safely. The city’s test-positive threshold of 3% — established well before the school year began — has been eclipsed, triggering closures. Yet a mere 0.23% of students in the city’s public schools have tested positive. In fact, New York schools have been a pandemic success story.”
“Governors nationwide are under pressure to follow New York’s lead and close schools, no matter what the data shows. With nearly 200,000 cases a day being reported in the U.S., some of those cases will undoubtedly be teachers, students and staff.”
Why would governors nationwide be under any kind of pressure to follow New York’s lead?
The state of New York, New York City, Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio have the worst COVID record of any state in the nation.
So, “the Pressure” is on other governors to follow their political lead, not their successful dealing with the virus lead.
Just so we’re clear about that.
“However, decisions on school closures should be driven by data on transmission linked to schools and not on anecdotes or outdated metrics. Public pressure, I fear, is going to make it increasingly difficult in the weeks ahead for governors to stick to the science-based guidance on school closures.”
“Science-based guidance?”
And “public pressure” has no effect on these slimy democrats anymore.
Their friends, the fake news, liberal propaganda, media will just ignore and spin “the pressure” whichever way they want.
“In the spring, New Jersey was among the hardest hit per capita by COVID-19, with the nation’s highest death rate. But this fall, New Jersey schools have not been the problem. The state’s governor, Phil Murphy, issued a joint statement with six other Northeast governors last week that said in part: ‘In-person learning is the best possible scenario for children, especially those with special needs and from low-income families.’”
“That’s the crux of why we need to do all we can to keep children in schools. The pandemic has disproportionately impacted Black, Latino and Native American communities with dramatically higher rates of infections, hospitalizations and deaths.”
Where is Black Lives Matter on this issue?
Where are any of the democrats on this issue?
Oh, I forgot…, the election is over, so the democrats can go back to ignoring any of the issues affecting the Black, Latino and Native American communities.
Just sayin’.
“Because of the inequitable way schools are funded in much of America, (And whose fault is that?) achievement gaps could be exacerbated when students are out of school, placing yet another burden on children of color at the very moment when our nation is forging a new path forward based on racial equity and justice.”
“We know, too, that education is just one facet of what our schools provide. Many families — especially those with parents working full-time, one-parent households, and low-income households — also rely on schools for healthy meals, technology support, and before- and after-hours child care.”
“The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the perversion of our national priorities. We need to treat teachers and school staff like the indispensable front-line workers they are and support them as such.”
I think we are, aren’t we?
The teachers appear to be the ones who aren’t comfortable being front-line workers.
Yes, “The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the perversion of our national priorities,” but the “perversions” are much more far reaching than the good doctor understands, or is willing to acknowledge.
“At the same time, we must reject the false choice that we either sacrifice teachers or do harm to our children. In the next critical months, we must come together and follow the science so that the greatest public health crisis in a century doesn’t also become an educational crisis.”
Uh…, the “educational crisis” is already here, and has been here for quite a while already.

We had the whole “Spygate” operation of the Obama administration illegally spying on the Trump campaign and then the Trump presidency.
Then we had the whole Russian collusion hoax, which was launched by the DOJ and the FBI, and then perpetuated by the democrats and the fake news mainstream media for over two years!
Then we had Jeffrey Epstein, who was either silenced or allowed to commit suicide, in order to protect his influential fellow pedophiles.
Then we had the impeachment hoax of President Trump, who was accused of doing exactly what former vice president Joe Biden actually did (a quid pro quo arrangement with The Ukraine).
Then we had the Hunter Biden “funny money” cases with The Ukraine, China, and Russia, which were smothered by the DOJ, the FBI, and the media, including social media.
And now we have election “irregularities” and questionable voting machine software manipulation, in which the usual partners in crime ar all choosing to look the other way.
It is sooo painfully obvious now that the DOJ and the FBI are in the back pockets of the democrats.
It is sooo obvious that you can expect that no one will go to jail over any of this, and no one will even be charged with anything over any of this.
The fix is in, my friends.
The foxes, or better said the rats, are in charge of the hen house.
In the case of the Epstein investigation, those in danger of being implicated as pedophiles, or somehow assisting in the allowance of this behavior, are all liberals, democrats, establishment RINOs, politicians, or royals, I might add, which include well-known heads of state and successful businessmen, as well as at least one high-powered lawyer, and science luminaries. Some of them have already been accused of participation in Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking ring.
Les Wexner, the billionaire behind U.S. fashion retailer L Brands, which owns Victoria’s Secret.
French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel became a member of Epstein’s inner circle in the early 2000s. Brunel “fed” Epstein young girls from “poor backgrounds,” and “lured” them in with “a promise of making good money.” Instead, Brunel would “farm them out to his friends,” including Epstein, “for sexual purposes.”
Prince Andrew, the Duke of York.
Alan Dershowitz, a high-powered lawyer and Harvard Law professor who helped broker a deal with the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta. Before the FBI’s proposed indictment could be presented to a grand jury, Epstein signed a seriously lenient non-prosecution agreement, pleading guilty to a single count of solicitation of a minor in exchange for a cushy 13-month sentence.
Billionaire power couple Glenn Dubin and Eva Andersson-Dubin.
Former President Bill Clinton and Epstein did quite a bit of jet setting on the “Lolita Express,” the press nickname for Epstein’s private Boeing 727 jet.
Former democratic Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell.
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Media mogul, billionaire, and former owner of the New York Daily News and the Atlantic, Mort Zuckerman.
Woody Allen.
Attorney General William Barr once also served as counsel at Kirkland and Ellis, the law firm that represented Epstein for his obscenely lenient 2008 plea deal. This explains a lot.
Ken Starr. The former independent counsel who investigated President Clinton, Starr served on Epstein’s all-star legal team in 2008, helping to strike a deal that landed Epstein in jail for only 13 months, with work release six days a week. In 2015, Starr dryly defended his work for Epstein: “I was happy to respond to the needs of a client of the firm.”
Stephen Hawking. In addition to his time on “pedophile island,” Hawking took a boat cruise and submarine tour funded by Epstein. According to the Telegraph, Epstein “paid for the submarine to be modified for Professor Hawking, who had never been underwater before.”
According to flight logs of Epstein’s plane, Harvard psychology professor Steven Pinker hitched a ride on the “Lolita Express” in 2002.
Other notable people with ties to Epstein are Harvey Weinstein, Alec Baldwin, and Ted Kennedy.
Guest lists for dinners at his Manhattan townhouse also give a picture of his influence: In 2010, a dinner for Prince Andrew included Katie Couric, George Stephanopoulos, Chelsea Handler, and Woody Allen.
Vicky Ward, the journalist who wrote the 2003 Vanity Fair profile of Epstein, told Slate that “You got the feeling that his friends weren’t real friends — he owned them — that he was the kind of man who collected information about people and then used it over them.” Ward has also offered a more scathing assessment, saying, “What is so amazing to me is how his entire social circle knew about this and just blithely overlooked it … all mentioned the girls, as an aside.”
Thanks to Adam K. Raymond and Matt Stieb from New York Magazine’s Intelligencer and Amelia McDonell-Parry for Rolling Stone Magazine for their reporting on Epstein’s relationships.
According to James Hill of Good Morning America , “Victims’ rights lawyers who have been battling the U.S. Department of Justice for a dozen years over the controversial ‘sweetheart deal’ reached by federal prosecutors in Florida with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are blasting the department’s long-awaited review of the deal as ‘offensive’ and a ‘whitewash.’”
Like I said, could we reasonably expect anything else from the Department of in-Justice?
‘“I think, frankly, what we got was an effort to paper over what happened,’ said Paul Cassell, a former federal judge who now represents Epstein accusers. ‘I think they’re trying to put the most favorable light on what’s clearly misconduct on the part of their attorneys.’”
“A 350-page report from the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), which was made public Thursday, determined none of the five federal prosecutors who were deeply involved in the Epstein investigation committed professional misconduct or violated any clear and unambiguous rules when they reached the deal without informing or consulting with victims.”
Of course not.
“Instead, the OPR report faulted former Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, then the U.S. Attorney in Miami, for exhibiting ‘poor judgment’ in deciding to resolve the Epstein case through a non-prosecution agreement and in failing to make certain the alleged victims were notified in advance of Epstein’s guilty plea in state court that ended the federal investigation.”
‘“They just say he used poor judgment, and that’s their way of basically letting everyone off the hook while offering some sort of an olive branch to the victims that we acknowledge weren’t treated perfectly,’ said Brad Edwards, who sued the DOJ in 2008 on behalf of Epstein accusers, seeking to invalidate the once-secret deal. ‘But nobody really did anything wrong. It’s really offensive. It’s hurtful.’”
“Jena-Lisa Jones, who has alleged Epstein sexually abused her when she was just 14, called the Justice Department’s conclusions ‘like another slap in the face’ to victims.”
Better a “slap in the face” to you, Ms. Jones, than any harm come to any of their rich and powerful pedophile friends.
‘“Poor judgment is cheating on a spelling test or speeding five miles over the speed limit. That would be poor judgment to me,’ Jones said after attending a four-hour government briefing on the report’s findings at the FBI office in Miami. ‘I honestly don’t think that anybody will take responsibility in any sense, in any shape or form in the way that they actually should as adults.’”
The funny thing is that she thought anyone would!
“The OPR report, which took 22 months to complete, is not likely to be the last word on the Florida prosecutors’ treatment of Epstein, who was arrested last year by federal authorities in New York and then died while in custody in a Manhattan detention center.”
22 months to complete the report!
This is so typical of their modus operandi (MO), regarding the DOJ and the FBI. Delay, delay, delay. Excuse, excuse, excuse. Then, Ignore, ignore, ignore.
“Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., who requested the department review after the Miami Herald’s in-depth reports on the Epstein case were published in late 2018, harshly criticized OPR’s conclusions and vowed to keep investigating what he labeled a ‘disgusting failure.’”
‘“Letting a well-connected billionaire get away with child rape and international sex trafficking isn’t “poor judgment” — it is a disgusting failure. Americans ought to be enraged,’ said the senator, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Oversight Subcommittee. ‘Jeffrey Epstein should be rotting behind bars today, but the Justice Department failed Epstein’s victims at every turn.’”
Not to mention a slew of his well connected cohorts!
‘“OPR might have finished its report, but we have an obligation to make sure this never happens again,’ Sasse said in a statement.”
Whatever you say, Senator Sass.
“Authorities in New York, meanwhile, have vowed to continue investigating anyone who may have conspired with Epstein or assisted him in the commission of his alleged crimes. Earlier this year, Manhattan prosecutors charged Epstein’s former girlfriend and close associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, with helping to facilitate and, in some cases, participating in Epstein’s crimes against three minor girls in the mid-1990s. Maxwell pleaded not guilty and has long denied any knowledge of Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking. Her trial is scheduled for next summer.”
Oh goody! More investigations that will end up being big wastes of time.
“And next month, lawyers Edwards and Cassell will argue before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta that the Epstein deal, which also conferred federal immunity to any potential co-conspirators, should be rescinded because it was reached in violation of the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act.”
Ah, yes…, that all important “federal immunity!”
You can ask Hillary’s friends about that as well.
“Villafaña [former federal case prosecutor Marie Villafaña] told OPR that she ‘could not seem to get [her supervisors] to understand the seriousness of Epstein’s behavior and the fact that he was probably continuing to commit the behavior, and that there was a need to move with necessary speed.’”
Oh, they understood alright.
“Much has been made over the years of Epstein employing a ‘dream team’ of highly skilled lawyers to help persuade federal prosecutors to drop their investigation. Epstein’s advocates included the famed Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and former U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr, best known for his role as the independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation, which eventually led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.”
“During the negotiations over the deal, Epstein supplemented his team with Starr and Jay Lefkowitz, who had served in the administrations of former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. Lefkowitz and Starr had each worked previously with Acosta when he was a junior associate at the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis. Acosta met personally with Lefkowitz and Starr after the non-prosecution agreement was signed but while Epstein’s attorneys were pursuing further review of the deal’s terms at higher levels of the Justice Department.”
Justin Vallejo for The Independent writes that, “Swaths of country believe Democratic Party is a front for a pedophile ring.”
You can consider me a part of that “swath,” Mr. Vallejo.

Please be aware that every day, while you go about your life, there is an army of people out there working to divide, change, and undermine our way of life and our country.
It’s true.
There are hundreds of these organization in The United States, including:
The Southern Poverty Law Center
The Brennan Center for Justice
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
Ballot Initiative Strategy Center (BISC)
State Innovation Exchange (SIX)

MoveOn
The Pew Research Center
National Immigration Law Center

Social Media (Google, Facebook, Twitter)
The mainstream media (NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Public Radio)
Just to name a few…, although that’s enough!
All of these groups will say they are “non-partisan,” mainly for tax purposes, but they are anything but, and they’re all very far left of being “non-partisan.”
I think, to them, “non-partisan” means “without a conscience.”
All of these groups are organizing, training (indoctrinating), fundraising, manipulating, scheming, and taking actions to destroy our democracy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
None of these organizations give any quarter, nor do they take any prisoners. They are all ruthless and unapologetic regarding their neo-fascist practices.
The radical left has done a good job indoctrinating all of their “good little Nazis,” who are convinced they are the ones fighting “the Nazis.”
They are really quite sad and pathetic, but, in reality they’re very dangerous.
First, Americans need to realize and concede that these anti-America groups and factions exist.
Secondly, we have to drag them out into the sunlight and expose them for what they are.
And thirdly, we have to fight them, resist them, and counter their actions via any means possible…, be that politically, lawfully, socially, or economically.
These people cannot just be allowed to operate, under our noses and without any rebuttal any longer.
These anti-America “Americans” must be confronted, engaged, and defeated.
Our lives and our children’s lives literally depend on it.

Yes, it is childish, but, whatever, I’m rolling with it!
During Joe Biden’s October 24th appearance on the progressive podcast “Pod Save America,” Biden said, “We’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration, President Obama’s administration before this, we have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
In this instance, I believe you Sleepy Joe!
It’s amazing the information you can get out of Joe Biden if you just let him talk without the aid of a teleprompter.
So, now that we have that established…, according to the Brennan Center for Justice, “It is important to protect the integrity of our elections. But we must be careful not to undermine free and fair access to the ballot in the name of preventing phantom voter fraud.”
“Politicians at all levels of government have repeatedly, and falsely, claimed the 2016 and 2018 elections were marred by millions of people voting illegally. However, extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is virtually nonexistent, and many instances of alleged fraud are, in fact, mistakes by voters or administrators. The same is true for mail ballots, which are secure and essential to holding a safe election amid the coronavirus pandemic.”
“The Brennan Center’s seminal report, ‘The Truth About Voter Fraud,’ conclusively demonstrated that most allegations of fraud turn out to be baseless and that most of the few remaining allegations reveal irregularities and other forms of election misconduct.”
Of course they are.
Have you read the MrEricksonRule’s Center for Justice report that brings to light massive democrat election fraud?
It carries about as much weight as this piece of Brennan Center propaganda.
Supposedly, The Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University Law School is a bipartisan law and public policy institute seen as liberal or progressive in its policy positions and views. The organization is named after Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan.
The Brennan Center’s own website says, “The Brennan Center is equal parts think tank, public interest law firm and advocacy organization. The Brennan Center serves as a generator of legal theory and as an expert on democracy reform, equipping and empowering journalists, attorneys, civic engagement organizations, and other national partners to achieve immediate wins and make long-term strides toward an inclusive and just democracy.”
Their form of “an inclusive and just democracy” does not include people who don’t think like they do, and “just democracy” is whatever they say it is…, and you better not question them.
What a couple of good little Nazis!
If you visit the Brennan Center’s website, it will become apparent quite quickly that they oppose President Trump and are proactive in their attacks on him and his administration.
It would not surprise me at all if these people were a driving force behind many of the issues we find ourselves having with this election.
It’s amazing how many of these “centers” exist in our country, whose soul intention is destroying our country as we know it.
I’ve heard many “talking heads” representing the democrats, and many hosts and contributors to many shows on the fake news and liberal propaganda media say:
“There may be some instances of voter fraud, but not enough to matter.”
“There may be some cases voter fraud, but not enough to make a difference in the outcome.”
“The rate of voter fraud is within acceptable ranges.”
There is a huge difference between “voter fraud” on a case by case instance, and large scale “ballot fraud” or large scale “ballot data dumps,” “intentional voting machine software manipulation,” and overall “election fraud.”
The 2020 election cannot be compared to prior elections.
In the 2020 election, democrats were prepared to pull out all the stops if needed, and do whatever it took to defeat President Trump.
That is precisely why counts were halted in battleground states on election night, after it was determined President Trump was on track to win these states.
This gave the democrats time to produce enough votes, electronically, or physically, to overtake President Trump’s vote totals, when the counting recommenced.
It was quite obvious to me, and I will go to my grave believing this was the case.
Whether or not The President’s legal team is able to actually gain access to the system and the physical ballots, in order to be able to document this cheating and bring it to light is another story.
If they really believe the election was fair and square, and they are interested in making sure our elections are fair and square, Joe Biden, his campaign, and the democrats should welcome validation of this election’s integrity, not ignore it, fight it, or run from it.
Nobody wants their vote to be disqualified by an opposing illegitimate vote.
Put your hand up if you’re willing to sacrifice your vote to a cheater.
Hmmm…, I’m not seeing any hands out there.
And it doesn’t make any difference if the cheating is on a small scale or a large scale.
Cheating is cheating.
It’s the year 2020 ladies and gentlemen. We are more than capable of instituting an election system which would safeguard us from virtually all of the fraud issues, if that’s what our politicians (and I’m referring mainly to the democrats) wanted.
Biden and the democrats are not going to be able effectively govern the country if tens of millions of Americans believe Biden is an illegitimate president who got into office by way of a rigged and stolen election.
Hopefully, we won’t be forced to deal with that situation.

In the beginning, the states pretty much ruled themselves. They were like their own separate, little, “countries.”
But they were connected to each other, physically, economically, and ideologically.
They recognized the value of banding together for protection internationally and the value of being able to deal with other countries as a single, united, entity.
So, the states created The Constitution to spell out how this collection of states would function under a single federal government umbrella.
They had no idea how immense and all-encompassing and all-controlling that federal “umbrella” would become.
Lenore T. Adkins, for the “ShareAmerica” website, writes, ‘“We do need a State Department. We do need a Department of Defense,’ says Karla Jones, director of international relations and federalism at the American Legislative Exchange Council, referring to the federal entities responsible for implementing the country’s foreign and defense policies.”
“The U.S. relies on a system called ‘federalism:’ Powers not granted to the federal government are reserved for the states and the people. It’s an important concept to understand because citizens encounter different levels of government daily, but in several ways.”
It’s also important to recognize that the federal government seems to be expanding its “powers,” and encroaching on states’ rights more and more all the time.
So, what does the federal government do?
Better said, what does the federal government do that we and the states have allowed it to do?
“Only the federal government can regulate interstate and foreign commerce, declare war and set taxing, spending and other national policies.”
But the federal government has accumulated power exponentially over the years. Power that it was never intended to have.
Let’s take a look at our federal government and how grotesquely “obese” it has become.
Here is a list of the major departments that the federal government is broken into, along with their number of employees, their annual budgets, how many subsidiaries they have and some of the highlights of what they do:

Then we spend over $8 billion dollars to fund and operate Congress and the Senate per year. This is for 535 members of Congress and staff members of over 13,000.
We also spend over $7 billion to fund the federal Judiciary per year. The federal judiciary has over 30,000 employees.
Lastly, we have expenses for The White House, The White House staff (377) and for The President and The Vice-President, which run around $100 million annually.
That’s a total of:
372 different agencies, offices, bureaus, programs and administrations…,
Representing 4,185,091 (that’s over 4 million) total employees and elected officials…,
At a total cost of $2.867 trillion (that $8,600 annually for every man, woman and child). Now think about how many people don’t pay federal income tax. That $8,600 goes up pretty quick for the rest of us.
Wow. Those are some staggering numbers!
And that’s just to support our federal government’s operations.
We’re not even talking about how much we pay to fund our state and local governments as well!
Remember, these are only the federal government’s costs of doing business.
This does not include the taxes collected and then redistributed back to the American people [and people here illegally] monetarily, or in some other form of value, like infrastructure, housing, etc.
Please note: In American public finance, discretionary spending is government spending implemented through an appropriations bill. This spending is an optional part of fiscal policy, in contrast to entitlement programs (non-discretionary) for which funding is mandatory and determined by the number of eligible recipients.
Please be aware that there were only three original departments created back in 1789, the State Department, the Treasury Department, and the War Department, which evolved into the Department of Defense.
All of the other departments were created at much later dates.
The Department of the Interior was created in 1849, followed by the Department of Agriculture in 1862.
Next was the Department of Justice in 1870, followed by the Department of Labor in 1913.
1913 was also the first year for federal income tax as we know it. We’ll talk more about taxes later.
In 1937 the Department of commerce was created, followed by the Department of Health and Human Services in 1953.
After this is when the federal government really started to balloon.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development was created in 1965.
The Department of Transportation was created in 1967.
Department of Energy in 1977.
Department of Education in 1979.
Department of Veteran’s Affairs in 1989.
And the Department of Homeland Security in 2002.
I mentioned earlier we’d get to talking about taxes…, well, here we are.
Here is the history of federal taxes:
In order to help pay for its war effort in the American Civil War, Congress imposed its first personal income tax in 1861. It was part of the Revenue Act of 1861 (3% of all incomes over $800, rescinded in 1872). Congress also enacted the Revenue Act of 1862, which levied a 3% tax on incomes above $600, rising to 5% for incomes above $10,000. Rates were raised in 1864. This income tax was then repealed in 1872.
So, at this point, we’re back to no federal income taxes.
Forty-one years later, the 16th Amendment was ratified in 1913, which states:
“The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”
So, now the taxation gravy train was off and running!
Congress then enacted an income tax in October 1913 as part of the Revenue Act of 1913, levying a 1% tax on net personal incomes above $3,000, with a 6% surtax on incomes above $500,000.
By 1918, the top rate of the income tax was increased to 77% (on income over $1,000,000, equivalent of $16,717,815 in 2018 dollars to finance World War I. The average rate for the rich however, was 15%.
During World War II, Congress introduced payroll withholding and quarterly tax payments.
A comedic representation by Clifford K. Berryman of the debate to introduce a sales tax in the United States in 1933 and end the income tax.
I have personally argued my support of a a national sales tax (or a consumption tax) as opposed to a federal income tax. Please see my prior blogs on this subject.
At first, the income tax was incrementally expanded by Congress, and then inflation automatically raised most persons into tax brackets formerly reserved for the wealthy until income tax brackets were adjusted for inflation. Income tax now applies to almost two-thirds of the population. The lowest-earning workers, especially those with dependents, pay no income taxes as a group and actually get a small subsidy from the federal government because of child credits and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
While the government was originally funded via tariffs upon imported goods, tariffs now represent only a minor portion of federal revenues.
In the 1930s, the New Deal introduced Social Security to rectify the first three problems (retirement, injury-induced disability, or congenital disability). It introduced the FICA tax as the means to pay for Social Security.
In the 1960s, Medicare was introduced to rectify the fourth problem (health care for the elderly). The FICA tax was increased in order to pay for this expense.
The total federal budget for 2020 is $4.79 trillion, but we ALWAYS spend more than what we budget. That’s why our federal deficit is in the neighborhood of $26 trillion right now…, but that’s another blog for another day.
Remember I mentioned there are over 4 million total employees and elected officials employed by the federal government…, and more than half of these politicians and bureaucrats live in Washington DC and the surrounding areas of Maryland and northern Virginia.
These areas see a consistent voter registration rate of 90-95% democrat and only 5% republican.
When you hear the term “deep state,” this is what they’re referring to.
A bureaucratic workforce that is loyal to the democrat party, regardless of who the American people choose to run the country.
The “deep state” is into self-preservation and expanding itself (bigger government). That is why they have hitched their wagon to the democrat party, and why you can always expect the democrats to pretend to solve any issue by throwing more government, and more of our money, at it.
“Here endeth the lesson,” as Sean Connery said, when he played a Gman in “The Untouchables.”
That’s when being a Gman was still an honorable profession!
RIP Sean Connery.

“The good news is the Pfizer tests look good and we’ll have a vaccine shortly. The bad news is that it’s about two months before Joe Biden takes over and that means this administration is going to be implementing a vaccine plan,” Cuomo told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America.
According to the New York Post Editorial Board, ‘“We can’t let this vaccine plan go forward the way Trump is planning it,’ Cuomo said. ‘We need to fix it or stop it before it does damage.’”
“Damage?”
What kind of “damage?”
“Cuomo says Trump vaccination plan is ‘flawed,’ and ‘learns nothing from the past.”
Okay, Fredo…, I doubt you have any understanding of The President’s plan, in this regard.
And, what does “learns nothing from the past” mean?
The “past” what?
Your whole perspective and intent is the only thing that’s “flawed” here, Fredo!
“It’s probably the lowest thing Governor Andrew Cuomo has ever done, and that’s saying something.”
Really, it’s not.
It’s not even close…, but go on.
“On Monday morning, when everyone else was celebrating the spectacular news that Pfizer’s vaccine for COVID-19 looks 90 percent effective, Cuomo, as is typical, reverted to politics.”
“First, he let people die in nursing homes because of his ineptitude.”
Excuse me, but it wasn’t “ineptitude.”
It was by design.
It was imperative to get the COVID-19 death numbers elevated at the time to add to their negative narrative regarding The President’s response to the China virus.
We were constantly being reminded how many people had died from the virus, when in reality the real number was only a fraction of the number we were constantly bombarded with.
How many times during the vice-presidential debate did “cackling Kamala” feel it was necessary to remind us that “over 200,000 people have died from the virus?”
Five times?
Ten times?
More?
In any regard, it was obvious that this was a talking point the democrats valued quite highly…, whether it was really accurate or not.
“Now Cuomo wants the body count to keep climbing because God forbid President Trump oversees a vaccine effort.”
Actually, it has to do with governmental control now, and not President Trump any longer.
‘“What on earth is Governor Cuomo talking about?’ Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) rightly said in a statement. ‘This is great news and everyone — Republicans and Democrats and apolitical folks — should all be jointly thrilled about the possibility of an effective vaccine.’”
The first mistake you’re making Senator Sasse is that you’re assuming we’re talking about a normal human being here…, when we’re not. We’re talking about a deranged, power hungry, psycho.
‘“After this nasty virus has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and put millions out of work, it is beyond disgusting that Governor Cuomo would use a glimmer of hope for another worn-out ‘Trump is bad’ talking point. When we get a vaccine, we’re going to need all hands-on deck distributing it as fast as possible — shamelessly politicizing this is dangerous and stupid.’”
I’d lean more towards evil, but, yes, “stupid” and “dangerous” as well.
“Thank goodness it’s not up to Cuomo about how the nation proceeds. He messed up in New York, he can’t be allowed to fail nationally. Hopefully this puts to rest any idea of Cuomo serving in a Joe Biden cabinet — or even being governor again.”
Au contraire mon ami!
On the contrary my friends!
As far as the democrats are concerned, these comments put him at the front of the list…, on both accounts!

It’s time to fight back against Google, Facebook and Twitter.
These applications have undoubtedly become unapologetic propaganda arms for the democrats.
They even stooped to trying to influence the election…, which they did.
But we don’t have to be bound to them.
Their disgusting behavior is not a fate we have to accept.
This is not OK.
It’s time for people who value their freedom, along with their First Amendment rights, to ditch these anti-American, social media manipulators for some much better options.
I wonder what the reaction would be on Wall Street if each of these applications lost million users within a couple of months?
I’m not sure, but I’d sure like the chance to find out!
I say let the liberals censor each other as much as they want.
Let them continue to propagate their lies to each other to their heart’s content.
But me, I’m checking out.
I’ve been put in “Facebook jail” and censored for the last time.
I refuse to let them and their armies of little Nazis impose their censorship, their “fact checking” and “community values” and “community standards” on my voice any longer.
We are dangerously close to the type of media control we see in Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, etc., with our own “deep state” controlled media and the recent social media censorship.
How many times have you wished there were conservative alternatives to these fascist organizations?
Well, the good news is there are!
Instead of Google, try using 4conservative.com or 4search.com.
And instead of Twitter or Facebook, try using Parler.com.
According to Chris Ciacciaof FOXBusiness, “In the wake of the presidential election, the social media app Parler topped Apple’s App Store for the first time over the weekend.”
“In an email to FOX Business, research firm Apptopia said downloads for the ‘non-biased, free speech’ platform topped 310,000 over the past week, with the peak starting on Nov. 6. In the week prior, the app had been downloaded just over 150,000 times.”
“Earlier this month, Parler CEO John Matze criticized what he described as Twitter and Facebook censorship surrounding the election, saying that the companies had ‘gone too far.” He added that his app was ‘free of editorial bullies trying to tell you what to think.’”
The sooner we free ourselves from Google, Facebook and Twitter, the better we’ll feel, and the better off we’ll all be.
The next thing you know they’ll be recording our phone conversations and monitoring those for unacceptable speech.
Oh wait…, I forgot they already do record our conversations!
They just haven’t gotten to the point where we receive warnings in the mail or something about our unacceptable speech which they have detected!
Just wait…, it’s coming folks.
It’s coming.

For the last couple of days, all I hear from democrats is that they’re “relieved,” and that they are looking forward to a “return to normal,” and that we can now start to “heal” what divides us as a nation under a presumed president elect Biden.
“Normal” for democrats is $4.00 a gallon for gas, letting Iran take advantage of us with their flawed nuclear deal, letting all the countries of the world take advantage of us economically via the Paris Climate Accord, shipping all of our jobs overseas, letting the other countries in NATO go back to not paying their fair share, using the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA as weaponized arms of their party, and giving up our oil independence, just for starters.
As someone who feels they can speak on behalf of Trump supporters everywhere…, IT’S NOT HAPPENING!
The cat is now officially and undeniably out of the bag, regarding the democrats, the liberal propaganda mainstream media, and social media’s fascist, pro-democrat, censorship.
The democrats have resorted to cheating, on a grand scale, in this election, and we are not having it.
THERE WILL BE NO “RETURN TO NORMAL,” AND THERE WILL BE NO HEALING, as far as Trump supporters are concerned.
If Joe Biden’s election somehow holds up, he will get the same treatment from republicans that President Trump got from democrats.
First of all, we would declare that “Joe Biden is not our president.”
We would declare that he is an illegitimate president.
Then we would demand investigations into Biden’s actions with China, Russia, and The Ukraine.
Then we will demand he be impeached for his traitorous actions, first regarding his role in the spying and coup attempt when President Trump was first elected in 2016, and then for his quid pro quo with The Ukraine (Which we already have him admitting to, in his own words, on video), and then for his selling of access and considerations to China and Russia.
There’s your “healing” for you, democrats.
But first, let the lawsuits begin regarding the widespread cheating, fraud, and irregularities surrounding this election.
This election is far from over.
