There is No Evidence of Voter Fraud! Really?

“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run.”—Alexis de Tocqueville

By Rich Kozlovich

 

Voter fraud never happens or rarely happens, and there's no evidence of voter fraud.  Yeah, it you're blind, deaf, and living an a bathysphere hundreds of feet underwater.   Even their own voters don't believe that.  But that's the meme the left has touted for years.  It's the line they cling to in spite of all the evidence that's blatantly false, they continue to cling to that lie.  Why?  Well, let's explore this.   

First, I've been writing articles about voter fraud for years that demonstrating voter fraud is real, it's rampant and it's ubiquitous, or at the very least the evidence shows, quoting Shakespeare, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", and that rottenness creates a stench that needs a real a investigation by an Attorney General who has a mad dog in meat market mentality.   

Yesterday  Andrew Paquette, PhD wrote an outstanding article entitled, The Information Sieve Why Election Integrity requires more than evidence noting how no matter what evidence is presented the leftist mind is like a sieve, where all the evidence just passes through leaving nothing behind.  He notes: 

Democrats say “Where’s the evidence?” every time claims of election fraud are made. You could hand them evidence, literally in their hands, and it would disappear in a barrage of “But where’s the evidence?”, “This was adjudicated!”, “What’s your source?”, “This isn’t peer-reviewed!”, “It’s too late for this, find something new!” 

Never mind that all those questions are answerable. The point is that regardless of the type of objection given, the effect is the same: like water poured through a sieve, none of it is retained, as if it had never been in the sieve at all.

He goes on to say something that in my view is profound:

Criminals and their significant others can be like this. The criminal himself is motivated to deflect away from the evidence every time he is asked about it. His significant others and friends are motivated by their trust in the criminal to follow his lead, even if it sounds a little suspicious, out of an instinct to protect a member of their brood................. Then, their claims that “this isn’t evidence!” make sense. The same goes for the histrionic emotion expressed when they say it.

Why is that so profound?  Because it highlights the first rule of the criminal mind...."Never give up the con!"  If that's the first rule of the criminal mind, and that's the position they're taking, the conclusion is .... they're criminals. 

How many times have you seen one of these "world's dumbest criminal" shows where the criminal who is caught red handed insists on claiming he didn't do anything wrong.  In one of those shows a car thief stole a car owned and rigged by the police.  Why they remotely shut the car down and arrested him he kept insisting the car was his cousin's car and he had the right to drive it.  Ever after the police told him it was their care.  One was filmed committing a serious crime on film, but he insisted that wasn't him, it was someone who looked like him, and demanded his court appointed attorney argue that in court.  When he refused he told the attorney "you're not working for me, you're working for the man", and his family supported that view. 

This "sieve mind infection" isn't just about voter fraud, it involves every leftists theme they promote, including excusing black criminal activity that's out of control in America's major cities. 

Back to voter fraud, the Democrat's choosing voter fraud and corruption,  and their "sieve mind infection".  Here are articles I've been reading and storing, and the conclusion must be they're criminals and embracing the criminal mind attitude of....."never give up the con", which they knowingly support with lies, warped twisted reasoning and finger pointing.  The left excels at lies of commission, lies of omission, logical fallacies, and projection.   

Remember, as you read this, contemplate the meme, "there's no such thing as a conspiracy"!  And we know that because the left says it all the time.  Unless of course it's a vast right wing conspiracy as Hillary Clinton claimed in an attempt to excuse the behavior of her husband.  Well, how about this.  I say this is a "vast left wing conspiracy", involving Democrat politicians, the media, who hear no evil, see no evil, nor will they speak about evil... of Democrats, and even the courts are complicit.  After following the links below, you tell me if there is a "vast left wing conspiracy" at work here or not.  That brings us back to "why" they're fighting tooth and nail to prevent any kind of investigation into voter fraud or preventing voter fraud.  Because without voter fraud they can't get elected except in far left enclaves.

The Kyrie Eleison of the left is:  "It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault!  Amen!" So, in order to see a perfect example of leftist lies, distortion, twisted logic and finger pointing the left is so adept at, let's start our investigation with: 

New Jersey  

  • NJ Gov Is Lying About ‘Software Glitch’ That Led to Non-Citizen Voting -   “All 6,600 individuals indicated ‘Yes’ to wanting to register to vote and ‘No’ to being a US Citizen” DHS found that over 35,000 non-citizens were registered to vote in New Jersey.  Gov. Mikie Sherrill claimed that was due to a software ‘glitch’, that only 6,000 non-citizens were registered, only 400 had voted, and announced that she won’t release the names because of “privacy laws.”  Privacy laws don’t protect illegal actions or New Jersey’s own violations of voting regulations. Furthermore, the provider is claiming that it wasn’t a software error at all, but a category error.....It wasn't an error..... .Gov. Sherill is lying when she says it was just an innocent error. And she’s lying when she claims that the only reason she’s not releasing the names is privacy.........
  • NJ's Mikie Sherrill Had an Interesting Term to Describe the Illegal Alien Voters in Her State - Reality hit New Jersey, Gov. Mikie Sherrill: her party and its media allies claimed voter fraud rarely occurs, if at all. President Trump gave a speech on it in July, which the usual suspects dismissed as conspiratorial. And, as always, Trump was right. Over 6,000 illegal aliens were found on New Jersey’s voter rolls, with about 400 voting in past elections. That’s the official figure—it’s probably higher. .....
  • Jersey vote scandal a drop in the bucket -  Reality hits New Jersey, Gov. Mikie Sherrill: her party and its media allies claimed voter fraud rarely occurs, if at all. President Trump gave a speech on it in July, which the usual suspects dismissed as conspiratorial. And, as always, Trump was right. Over 6,000 illegal aliens were found on New Jersey’s voter rolls, with about 400 voting in past elections. That’s the official figure—it’s probably higher.  Now, Mikie is trying to blame Phil Murphy, her predecessor, for the oversight, but she now refuses to cooperate with federal officials regarding the release of more information on these people, calling them New Jersey citizens (via Politico):.........
  • GOP Sends Letter to NJ Governor: What the Hell Happened to Your Voter Rolls? - New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill knows she’s in trouble: about 6,600 illegal aliens are listed on the state voter rolls. Around 400 have voted in past elections. We all suspect the actual numbers are higher on both counts, and that this has probably been going on for years. The Democrats and the media claimed this never happened not too long ago. Sherrill has tried to shift the blame, pointing the finger at Phil Murphy. But it doesn’t really matter, Mikie. You’re both Democrats......
  • UNHINGED: Far-Left Democrat Mikie Sherrill Smears Trump as Worse Than Vladimir Putin After State Registered 6,600 Noncitizens to Vote and Hundreds Cast Ballots - In a staggering display of far-left gaslighting and total lack of accountability, New Jersey Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill is facing intense heat after serious voter roll irregularities, including thousands of non-citizens improperly registered to vote, came to light in the Garden State. Instead of taking responsibility for the catastrophic failure inside her state’s government, Sherrill did what Democrats always do when caught flat-footed: she lashed out at President Donald Trump and even dragged Russian President Vladimir Putin.  You cannot make this up.........
  • NJ Gov Doesn’t Want to Turn Over Names of Illegal Non-Citizen Voters - The Department of Homeland Security claimed that there were 35,000 non-citizens on the voting rolls in New Jersey. New Jersey claimed that it was only 6,000 and that it was an ‘accident’ due to a ‘glitch’ and that only 400 of them had voted, and then promised to protect the illegal voters. Then Gov. Mikie Sherrill signaled that she would try to protect the illegal voters.......
  • The 400 Noncitizens Who Voted in New Jersey Face Prosecution and Deportation - The 400 noncitizens who voted illegally in New Jersey are now facing prosecution, denaturalization and deportation. “They are subject to prosecution and removal from the United States,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson, Wednesday. Dhillon pointed out that not all of these voters are illegal aliens—some are Green Card holders—but all are ineligible to vote. “People need to see the consequences of voting when you’re not allowed to,” she explained......
  • NJ Gov Vows to Protect Non-Citizens Who Illegally Voted -  Accidents will happen. Who hasn’t experienced random accidents like spilling soda, bumping your knee or adding 6,000 non-citizens to the state voter rolls in a state controlled by the party that is most likely to benefit from non-citizens voting in elections. Just random accidental stuff.  .............Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday, with “fewer than 400” of them casting ballots in various elections since 2023.   So around 400 illegally voted in elections which they had no right to do. If you get sent a $500,000 check you know is a bank error, and you cash it and spend it, you’ve committed a crime. So have these folks........
  • 'Unacceptable': Governor admits THOUSANDS of noncitizens registered to vote - The governor of New Jersey has admitted that thousands and thousands of noncitizens were registered to vote in her state, and many of them actually voted, illegally, in a U.S. election, but it's all the fault of a software error. A report at Politico said Gov. Mikie Sherrill said more than 6,000 people who are not U.S. citizens were added to her state's voter rolls. She claimed it was minor because "fewer than 400" actually voted......
  •   6,600 Noncitizens Found On New Jersey Voter Rolls As Democrats Fight Against Voter ID - The things Democrats insist never happen are happening again: Noncitizens are getting onto the voter rolls and voting — and President Donald Trump is being proven right again about insecure elections and the urgent need to pass the SAVE America Act......

Trump 

  • Trump’s Obsession With Election Integrity Will Save the Republic - Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Reirkrebbdo was having surprising luck getting people to try Full Contact Lederhosen YAHTZEE! Most of the "Top 'O the Briefing" for Friday morning had already been written last Thursday night by the time President Donald Trump was finished with his speech, which is why I didn't comment on it. Regulars here in Briefingland know that I don't think that we can talk about election integrity too much, especially in this most critical election year. .....
  •  President Trump Drops The Receipts On Election Fraud| And no, you weren’t imagining it: the casino was rigged. In his speech earlier this month, President Trump pointed straight at large numbers of non-citizens on voter rolls, voting machines subject to manipulation, China’s acquisition and exploitation of voter data, and blue-state officials who allegedly buried or covered up these vulnerabilities.....
  •  Save Our Election to SAVE America - Last Thursday night, President Trump unveiled a massive trove of evidence showing that America’s election systems are vulnerable to fraud. This vulnerability is a risk to the very foundations of our Republic, and elected officials at both the state and federal levels need to take action right now........
  •  America’s election problem is bigger than the ballot box - President Trump is right to recognize the collapse of confidence surrounding American elections. It’s time to make amends.  In July, the U.S. House of Representatives brought the long-running debate over election integrity back to the center of national politics by advancing the SAVE America Act’s election provisions through a massive defense bill.  The move shows that Donald Trump and his allies see the issue as a real governing priority.  The legislation would require voters to prove American citizenship when registering to vote and present photo identification when casting a ballot.  The principle behind it is simple: America’s elections should be decided by American citizens............
  • The Trump administration has filed 31 lawsuits seeking states' voter data. Here's where they stand.  President Trump's administration has mounted efforts in nearly all 50 states to obtain their complete voter rolls containing sensitive information about registered voters in their states. The Justice Department has argued that the information is needed to ensure states are complying with two federal voting laws, the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act, which aim to ensure states have programs in place for maintaining accurate voter rolls........

Judiciary 

  •  Once Again, Leftist Judges Keep the Ballot Box Wide Open for Cheaters - Two Biden-appointed judges just told America that cleaning up elections is too much work. On Saturday the First Circuit Court of Appeals, by a 2-1 vote, refused to let President Trump enforce an executive order that would require proof of citizenship and tighten mail-in ballot rules before the November midterms. The door stays open. The cheaters get a free pass. And the left pretends this is about “democracy.”.......
  •  (Editor's Note: One honest jurist! RK) No re-do! Judge prevents Dems from manipulating primary ballots - Party wanted to give thousands of voters a second chance to fill out their vote.  Democrats and other leftists long have advocated, with frequent success, for a voting month, or voting week, instead of an election day as specified in the U.S. Constitution. They also love mail ballots, absentee ballots and counting ballots that arrive after the election period has closed.  And that scheme now has bitten them, in a dispute in Wisconsin.

Voter Fraud is Ubiquitous

This and That on Voter Integrity 

  • The Kind of People Who Run for Government Office - What de Tocqueville said here seems to be a rather obvious truism. All we need to do is look at the current Congress—both parties—and most state and even local governments, to realize that “superior men” do not dominate any sector of America’s governmental structure. It’s not that all the people serving in government are Adolf Hitler reincarnated, degenerate, evil people, not even all Democrats. Not every Democrat always does “evil” things; they just believe evil things. Now, I suppose, one could define such a person as “evil,” and I wouldn’t argue the point. But there are some “decent” Democrats who don’t eat (or kill) babies. They just believe other people have the right to do so. That’s bad enough, obviously.  I’m trying to be as nice as I can here, folks..........

Greenies Lie, Period!

By Rich Kozlovich

As it turns out, the greenies make things up, ludicrous things that only the brain dead can accept, you see, according to them "climate change is making plants less nutritious − that could already be hurting animals that are grazers".  Really?  And they know that how?  Let's try and get this right:

Never believe anything the green pushers, including the media, tell you. Their previous predictions have been pure garbage or propaganda to push an agenda, and they clearly care more about money and power than our length and quality of life. It is pathetic and dangerous when almost all people pretending to be journalists just regurgitate what they are told on “climate change” and “global warming” instead of doing research and asking questions. They are great contributors to the dumbing down of society, especially the children.

For many years I've written about the green movement and I learned from very early on, they lie, so when I write, I start with that foundational premise, and after I do the research on any subject they're ranting about..... guess what I find. They lied!

As for their doom and gloom, Chicken Little, the sky is falling predictions, they're pathetic. Here is my Failed Predictions file, along with my commentaries, If Green Prediction Was a Corporation, They'd Have a Monopoly on Being Wrong! And I particularly like this one, A Prince Who Was Potty, is Now a King Who is Potty, and Dangerously So!

Many years ago a customer who knew about my articles asked if I believed in global warning. I said, yes, and I believe in global cooling, but I don't believe mankind has anything to do with either one, and that's the issue. As for their climate models and predictions, that's garbage in and garbage out, as a result their timelines for disaster have come and gone, and the world is still here.

Environmentalism is part and parcel of a green globalist, one world government tyrannous socialist secular religion, with disaster mongering and lying as the central tenets of that religion.

A thousand years ago during the Medieval Warming Period the world was substantially warmer than it is today, and none of the disasters they're predicting for today occurred then, and there's no reason to believe they will occur now.

The world actually needs more CO2, not less. Climate change and CO2 have nothing to do with each other, except, climate change precedes CO2, not the reverse, and CO2 does not change the climate.   All that's absolutely known, and now we see Michigan is going to destroy 400 acres of woodland to build a solar farm with solar panels made in China.   

Remember 35 years ago the greenies were outraged at the controlled timber harvesting in the Northwest claiming logging was killing the spotted own.  After destroying that industry it was disclosed logging that was killing them at all, it was the barred owl, and the greenies knew that right from he start.  They lied, and now where are these green misfits over Michigan destroying 400 acres of forest to make way for solar panels?  The greenies have very selective outrage because their not about the environment, they're about destroying western civilization, and sadly so many of them at the base are nothing more than useful clueless idiots.

And now look at what that darned global warming has caused. Record-breaking wind, ice, and snow to impact 250 million Americans. Yes, and worse, global warming is now going to cause major winter storms and blizzard conditions in at least a dozen states, and even Washington DC. The answer?  Cut down more trees.   

Criminals have a code: "never give up on the con", and they haven't.

The ACLU Pushes Michigan to Abort Parental Rights

Parental consent is needed for piercing body parts. Why not for abortion?

The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has, in all its massive wisdom, declared that parental consent for abortion is harmful. The organization released a report this week on the Michigan state law passed in 1991, which demands permission from a parent before the procedure can be conducted on a minor.

The survey solicited opinions from attorneys who have fought against parental consent, abortion providers, and primary care physicians who provide health care to reproductive-age minors:

“Michigan’s parental consent law violates a range of human rights, including young people’s rights to health, to privacy and confidentiality of health services and information, to nondiscrimination and equality, to decide the number and spacing of children, and to be free from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment.”

The report also stated that 700 minors in Michigan receive abortions annually, and 100 of those children are forced to get what is called a bypass to parental consent from a judge.

“I think a lot of people don’t question this law, because they think that it makes perfect sense — that a parent would want to be involved in their child’s abortion decision,” claimed Jo Becker, advocacy director of the children’s rights division at Human Rights Watch.

The 37-page document pointed out the other side of the equation explained by Becker. As one attorney said, some clients had a complicated history and relationship with guardian or parent and feared retribution. Another underage client had experienced a parent “beating them up, CPS [Michigan’s Children’s Protective Services] was involved, and they were afraid their parents would go off on them again if they found out they were pregnant.”

Then, there is the subjectiveness of judges and a continued argument from abortion advocates. “The irony of this law is that young people have to prove to a judge that they’re mature enough to make an abortion decision,” claimed Becker. “And yet the law doesn’t test a young person’s maturity to bear a child and raise a child.”

ACLU Stand Down

Right to Life of Michigan’s legislative director, Genevieve Marnon, calls the prospect of eliminating consent “wildly out of step” with most Michiganders’ family values. “Children under 18 are required to be in the care of adults for a reason – this advocacy piece throws common sense to the wind to instead drive a political agenda.”

The ACLU was once integral to the fight for civil rights. Roger Baldwin and a few friends created the organization in 1920 around the need to protect the new 19th Amendment, allowing women to vote. An effective group over the decades in safeguarding constitutional rights has seemingly been overtaken by special interest groups and relegated to seeking new and outlandish ways to shock the American public on illogical cases and causes.

Denying parental rights is at the top of that list. But why start with abortion? Parental consent is needed for piercing body parts, applying for a license permit, and opening a bank account. But non-emergency surgery on a minor?

“The organizations who published this advocacy piece and their political allies believe they know what is best for children, not parents. They are actively seeking to remove parents from one of the most important decisions a minor girl could face, one that everyone acknowledges will have a lifelong impact regardless of the decision,” Marnon said.

Michigan Takes a U-Turn Back to the Rust Belt Stephen Moore

Stephen Moore  |  Feb 28, 2024 @ Townhall.com

No state in modern times has transitioned from a worker freedom state to one that forces workers to join a union and pay dues to labor bosses. All the momentum across the country in the last two decades has been in the opposite direction: allowing workers the right to choose a union -- or not.

That's why what happened last week in Lansing, Michigan, is such a tragic setback for workers' rights and for the economic competitiveness of the state where Henry Ford rolled off the assembly lines the iconic Model T some 100 years ago.

Thanks to a corrupt deal between the labor bosses, the Democratic state legislature and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan will no longer be a right-to-work state.

Is Whitmer intentionally TRYING to lose jobs in Michigan? Amazing how short the memories are in Lansing. Starting in the 1970s, Motown, which for decades had been the very symbol of America's industrial might, collapsed into the symbol of the American "Rust Belt." Closed-down factories turned Flint and Dearborn into virtual ghost towns.

From the 1970s to the early 2000s, Detroit crumbled into poverty. Whole neighborhoods were bulldozed, drug dealers were seemingly at every street corner, and homes were selling for less than $10,000 as the jobs disappeared and so did the families.

It wasn't that auto jobs left the country -- though some did. The real story was that the factories relocated out of the forced-union states and the moving vans delivered the jobs to South Carolina, Alabama, Texas and Tennessee. Why? Because these were states with pro-business policies that didn't cede control over to corrupt union brass.

Over the last three decades, right-to-work states created twice the number of jobs as forced-union states. According to Epoch Times reporter Kevin Stocklin, commenting on a 2022 Bureau of Labor Statistics report: During the COVID-19 pandemic, "Right-to-work (RTW) states added 1.3 million jobs since the start of the pandemic, while non-RTW states lost 1.1 million jobs."

That's one of many reasons why the booming South has taken over first place in terms of industrial production from the rusting Midwest and Northeast.

About a decade ago, Michigan realized it had to change or die. Michigan joined 25 other states and became a right-to-work state. Tens of thousands of workers said goodbye to the unions. Michigan made a comeback and a mini-renaissance followed. It was like the Michigan Wolverines winning the college football national championship.

But throughout this period, the unions were unrelenting in their opposition. They held protests in front of the capital, chanting, "Hey, hey, ho, ho, right to work has got to go!" They spent tens of millions of dollars to elect Democrats to get the law overturned.

Whitmer and her cronies also resorted to a false advertising campaign that this was all about "a restoration of workers' rights." Just the opposite. Forced unionization degrades workers' rights because from now on in Michigan, you must join the union, and you must pay dues to the corrupt union bosses. The United Auto Workers union has been plagued with financial fraud and massive pay packages to the union leaders. That doesn't trickle down to the rank-and-file workers whose paychecks are pilfered to pay for this largesse.

Right-to-work states do not prohibit unions. There are union facilities throughout the South. Every worker chooses for themselves whether to join or not. Many workers -- especially the hardest-working and most productive ones -- would rather negotiate their own salaries, which in many cases are HIGHER than the rigid union pay scale.

The unions have never answered a simple question: If the union label is so beneficial to workers, how come you need to force them to join?

Many businesses won't even consider locating a new factory or blue-collar operation in a forced-union state. The auto jobs in America will now accelerate their migration to the Southern states.

Gretchen Whitmer is turning back the clock. Not to the glory days of Michigan, but more probably to the era of the Rust Belt, with closed factory doors and longer unemployment lines. So much for "Hail to the Victors."

Michigan Muslims Take Biden Hostage to Save Hamas

By @ Sultan Knish Blog

While Israeli commandos rescued a 70-year-old man and 60-year-old man who were being held hostage in Gaza, Hamas supporters in America were taking an 81-year-old man hostage in D.C.

Hamas may be losing in Gaza, but it’s winning in Michigan.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is now the latest Michigan Muslim terror activist to urge Hamas supporters in the state to reject Biden in the primary by casting an “uncommitted” vote.

According to Rep. Tlaib, who became the only member of Congress to refuse to vote to condemn Hamas rapes of Jewish women, her goal is to “create a voting bloc” to stop Israel’s campaign to take down the Islamic terror group.

The campaign, misleadingly titled, “Listen to Michigan”, to pressure Biden into saving Hamas is being run by Layla Elabed, Rep. Tlaib’s sister and its spokesman is Abbas Alawieh, who had served as Rep. Tlaib’s legislative director and then as Rep. Cori Bush’s chief of staff.

The leading signatory of ‘Listen to Michigan’ is Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud (pictured above) who after the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 had addressed a pro-Hamas rally declaring that Dearborn was “the city of resistance”.

That same rally featured Osama Siblani, the publisher of the Arab American News paper and with whom Biden officials had met in an attempt to end the pro-Hamas pressure campaign, who had previously told the Washington Post that, “Mr. Bush believes Hezbollah, Hamas and other Palestinian factions are terrorists, but we believe they are freedom fighters.”

The Dearborn mayor had spoken at a previous pro-Hamas rally at which Osama Siblani had threatened, “We are the Arabs that are going to lift Palestinians all the way to victory. Whether we are in Michigan, and whether we are in Jenin. Believe me. Everyone should fight within his means. They will fight with stones. Others will fight with guns. Others will fight with planes, drones. And others will fight with rockets. And others will fight in their voice.”

Michigan Muslims have decided to fight by taking Biden hostage while playing the victim.

Mayor Hammoud had recently convinced Biden to condemn a Wall Street Journal op-ed by a MEMRI counterterrorism researcher which exposed the level of terror support in Dearborn.

Hammoud then repaid Biden by doubling down on fighting to save Hamas from Israel.

The number two signatory is Michigan State Assembly Majority Floor Leader Abraham Aiyash out of Hamtramck, the first all-Muslim governed city in the country, who has accused Israel of “genocide” and promoted a message urging “context” for the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7.

(Rep. Aiyash was profiled in the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s Election Jihad report.)

The Hamtramck politician was rapidly elevated by the Democratic Party to one of the top positions in the state after first being elected in 2020. Rep. Aiyash abused that power to first block a resolution condemning the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7 because it did not also criticize Israel and complained that it neglected “the conversation around the Palestinian people, particularly in the Gaza Strip, who for decades have endured mistreatment.”

He has now decided to repay the Democratic Party by taking Biden hostage for Hamas.

Also signing on to the campaign is State Rep. Alabas Farhat, newly elected in the 2022 midterms, who claimed that asking him to condemn Hamas was a “racist dog whistle”, and who has accused Israel of “apartheid”, “occupation” and the “systematic murder of Palestinians.

Also listed is ‘Bill’ Bazzi, Dearborn Heights’ first Muslim mayor, as well as Dearborn Councilman Mustapha Hammoud, the son of Abed Hammoud. Abed Hammoud, a Lebanese immigrant and an “old family friend” of Gov. Whitmer, who had headed the Congress of Arab American Organizations alongside Osama Siblani, had complained that a government crackdown on the Hezbollah Islamic terrorist group was “smearing the whole community”.

“Now people are scared to even say `I want Hezbollah to defend Lebanon,’” he had objected.

Despite that, the Obama-Biden administration had made Hammoud an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Hammoud is currently listed as the lawyer for Hezbollah financier Mohammad Bazzi: a “specially designated global terrorist” who has been described as “a player for senior Hezbollah operatives and senior Iranian leadership”.

Hammoud, the other Hammoud, Farhat, Aiyash and multiple other Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Muslim officials across Wayne County benefited from significant Democratic Party funding outlays. But they did not run for office or take power for the party, the country or for anyone or anything except members of their tribal group and its ideology of Islam.

Given a chance they demonstrated that their only loyalty was to Islam and Muslim terrorists, not America or even the Democrats who brought them here, nurtured them and funded them.

At a recent speech, Rep. Ilhan Omar, speaking in her native language, hailed Somalis as “people of one blood” and “people who know they are Somalians first”.

“The US government will only do what Somalians in the US tell them to do,” the translation describes the Somali Muslim congresswoman as saying. “They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders.”

“Sleep in comfort knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the US system,” Rep. Omar assured them.

That is the ‘Listen to Michigan’ campaign writ large.

“We are on the road to a great victory here in D.C. and there in Palestine,” Osama Siblani, who had openly expressed his support for Hamas and Hezbollah, boasted at the same rally at which Mayor Hammoud spoke and at which other ‘Listen to Michigan’ signatories were present.

To the Hamas caucus in America, they are fighting one war whether it’s in Israel or America.

And Democrats are learning the hard way that their new Muslim constituency has no loyalties or allegiances to anything except, as Rep. Omar put it, “people of one blood” and, as has been made clear in Dearborn, people of the same religion. And the issue goes far beyond Israel.

Hamtramck Amer Ghalib, the mayor of the first all-Muslim governed city in America, is one of the ‘Listen to Michigan’ signatories. Democrats squirmed when Ghalib banned flying gay flags, compared black people to animals and attacked Christians. He praised Saddam and Iran.

These are a few of the other things that Democrats have to accept from their new electorate.

‘Listen to Michigan’ and you can hear the mayor of the first all-Muslim governed city thanking a Sheikh and celebrating the “young people from the Salafi stream who came out with great enthusiasm and elected me”. Salafis, like the Al Qaeda group, are a Jihadist movement.

‘Listen to Michigan’ and you can hear the Dearborn mayor hailing his city as a “city of resistance” at a pro-Hamas rally.

‘Listen to Michigan’ and you can see Michigan being taken hostage by Islamic terrorists. And that same movement is now bent on hijacking the 2024 presidential election. With Biden polling poorly, the Hamas supporters in Michigan are betting that they can either force Biden to save Hamas by imposing sanctions on Israel or that they can take credit for his election defeat.

The emerging narrative is that the Democrats aren’t turning out voters because the party hasn’t come out strongly enough in support of Hamas and against Israel. If the Democrats lose in 2024, that narrative will solidify and future Democratic Party presidential candidates will be warned to support Islamic terrorism and oppose those like Israel who resist it or lose

A handful of Muslim settlers in Michigan built up their state within a state, they’ve taken the Democratic Party hostage and now intend to take the United States of America hostage.

The Changing Election Laws of Swing States – Michigan

Another hybrid election to confuse the masses. 

By | Feb 26, 2024 @ Liberty Nation News Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

It’s primary time in Michigan, and – just like Nevada’s earlier this month – the Great Lakes State’s contest may be a bit confusing this year. Tuesday, February 27 is primary day for both the Democrats and Republicans – but wait, there’s more! The GOP will also hold a caucus on March 2. And that’s just the beginning of the changes to election laws in this crucial swing state.

A Hybrid State of Mind

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, signed a bevy of election laws and an executive directive over the last two years, and the people voted in favor of a constitutional amendment. Of all the changes though, the biggest is probably the primary/caucus hybrid system. Just as Nevada did almost a month ago, Michigan will now hold statewide primaries for both parties – as required by and controlled by state law. These used to occur in March, but the date was bumped up. Henceforth, the primaries will be held on February 27.


But state and national Republican Party officials want a caucus under party control rather than a primary run by the Whitmer administration. And so, on Saturday, March 2, the Michigan GOP will hold a caucus. However, unlike Nevada’s “beauty contest,” as Liberty Nation’s Tim Donner called it, Michigan’s primary isn’t pointless. On Tuesday, 16 of the state’s 55 GOP delegates will be awarded to the winner of the Republican primary. The other 39 – about 70% – will be allocated by the party caucus on Saturday.

Vote Early, Vote Easy, Vote Anywhere!

The legislature passed, and Governor Whitmer signed, ten new bills altering the election process in Michigan in 2023. Senate Bill 13 moved the state presidential primary to February. Senate Bill 367 requires at least nine days of early voting. It also authorizes the early tabulation of absentee ballots, though House Bill 4696 makes disclosing the election results from an early voting site before Election Day a Class E felony that could lead to as long as five years in prison.

On the topic of absentee ballots, House Bill 4699 establishes a permanent absentee voter list. Michigan residents can fill out a single application to vote by mail and have a ballot mailed to them automatically in all future elections. Senate Bill 259 ensures that all absentee ballots from military and overseas voters are counted even if they’re received up to six days after the election. House Bill 4697 requires at least one secure drop box for every 15,000 registered voters in a municipality (with a minimum of one for the less populated areas), and they must be accessible 24 hours a day beginning 40 days before the election and running through 8 p.m. Election Day. Should absentee voters make mistakes that would normally cause ballots to be trashed, Senate Bill 370 allows them to be corrected. It also requires all absentee ballots to include prepaid postage and envelopes.

Governor Whitmer signed executive directive 2022-04 in May of 2022, instructing all state departments and agencies to “identify and assess potential opportunities when engaging with Michiganders from all walks of life and all 83 counties to help eligible voters register” to vote. House Bill 4702 increased the maximum size of an election precinct from 2,999 registered electors to 5,000, and Senate Bill 373 expanded the type of ID that can be used when registering or when voting in person. Michiganders can now show a driver’s license, passport, tribal photo ID, military ID, or student ID. Confusing? Don’t worry – Senate Bill 339 will establish a website for voters to track their ballots that will notify people when their votes are received and counted or if there are any errors to correct.

A Matter of Constitution

Back in 2022, the people of Michigan voted on Proposal 2, which amended the state’s constitution to, as state Representative Erin Byrnes (D) put it, “create generational change for Michigan voters.” As it appeared on the November 2022 ballot, the Proposal 2 amendment would:

  • Recognize the fundamental right to vote without harassing conduct;
  • Require military or overseas ballots be counted if postmarked by election day;
  • Provide voter right to verify identity with photo ID or signed statement;
  • Provide voter right to single application to vote absentee in all elections;
  • Require state-funded absentee-ballot drop boxes and postage for absentee applications and ballots;
  • Provide that only election officials may conduct post-election audits;
  • Require nine days of early in-person voting;
  • Allow donations to fund elections, which must be disclosed;
  • Require canvass boards certify election results based only on the official records of votes cast.

The laws passed over the year that followed accomplished many of these now-constitutional requirements and more. But state laws can change as governors and legislative majorities shift. A constitutional amendment in Michigan requires two-thirds of each house of the legislature, then approval by a majority of the voters.

A Modified Michigan in 2024

The 2024 election is the first since all these changes took place, so the process will be quite different from 2020 or even the 2022 midterms. From now on, there will be a minimum of nine days of in-person voting – and up to 40 days of early absentee voting – leading up to each election. For this primary, voters began casting ballots in person on Saturday, February 17 and will wrap up by 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday, February 27. Michiganders of any affiliation can – and should – check their registration status with the Michigan Secretary of State’s office.

Michiganders Beware: New Gun Laws Are in Effect

A look at the latest in gun control folly from the Great Lakes State.

Brace yourselves Michigan firearm owners: A bevy of new gun laws just took effect. From so-called safe storage requirements – which make home defense much more problematic – to the ineffective background checks and extreme risk protection orders that could see law abiding citizens disarmed without due process, it’s high time for a close look at the latest in gun control folly that makes the Great Lakes State a much more dangerous and less free place than it was just a day ago.

Safe Storage: Safer Only in Theory

  Michigan residents are henceforth required to keep all firearms being stored or left unattended unloaded and locked away if it is “reasonably known” that a minor might be present. If a minor “possesses or exhibits” a firearm in a public place or in the presence of another person in a “careless, reckless or threatening manner,” the owner of the weapon is guilty of a misdemeanor criminal charge punishable by no more than 93 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, or both.

Should said minor then fire the weapon and injure themselves or someone else, that misdemeanor becomes a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000 – ten years and $7,500 if the injury is “severe.” If the wounded person dies, the punishment for the gun owner – not the minor who pulled the trigger – goes up to a potential 15 years in prison and as much as a $10,000 fine.

The real life-and-death issue here is in home defense. In theory, an adult with children living in the home could usually remain in compliance with this law and be ready to fend off a home invasion simply by keeping a firearm on their person even at home and locking any others away. That would work most of the time – taking a shower, changing clothes, or sleeping raises some issues, of course, as does playing with the kids while wearing a deadly weapon. But imagine all firearms but the gun-owner’s everyday carry piece are locked away unloaded where the kids don’t have access to them.

Now imagine the armed adult is away from the house while an older child is home, and a home invasion occurs. Even if the eldest has permission and access to where the weapons are stored, there’s the problem of retrieving that weapon from its locked location, loading it, and using it in self-defense before anyone with violent intent can act.

Michigan, at least, does address the issue of home defense by negating all this should the minor be acting in self-defense. Not all states do.

Virginia State Delegate Nicholas Freitas, the Republican representing Old Dominion’s 62nd district, asked that very same question just last month in the debate over Virginia’s own safe storage bill, HB183. In a short video posted to YouTube on Jan. 31, he explained the issue. Here is his own hypothetical question – and the insane answer to it:

“I said, ‘Look, I get what you’re trying to do here. You’re trying to make things a little bit safer.’ I said, ‘However, I live in the country, where the police are generally at least 15 minutes away on a good day. So, if my 16-year-old daughter, who has been taught to handle and use firearms responsibly since she was five years old, if she’s home alone and somebody – oh, I don’t know, maybe that you let out on parole, because you do a lot of that around here – is kicking in our door in order to harm my daughter and she uses one of my firearms in order to protect herself, am I now a criminal?’ And after a very, very lengthy, lawyerly explanation, the answer was, ‘yep, you sure are.’ Make it make sense.”

But the core issue remains: An unloaded firearm locked in a box is useless. That’s fine for hunting and sporting guns, but a home defense weapon must be reachable and usable by whoever is going to defend the home. The trick to this situation – as just about any rural gun owner with kids can tell you – isn’t to hide the weapons from the children, but to train the children in the responsible handling and use of the weapons.

Will the New Laws Work as Intended?

Safe storage requirements with both misdemeanor and felony penalties aren’t the only new Michigan gun laws that create crimes where none existed before or increase the potential for death by unintended consequences. One such law requires anyone who isn’t a federally licensed firearm dealer (FFL) to “complete a record in triplicate on a form provided by the department of state police” that includes either the buyer’s concealed weapon license number or, if they aren’t licensed, the dealer license number of the FFL who did the background check.

In short, all purchases – even between private individuals – must now go through an FFL for the sake of having a background check and a record of the sale.

The problem is that universal background checks don’t work. If a criminal is looking to acquire a gun for the commission of a crime, he already most likely plans to steal it or buy it from someone without going through an FFL – regardless of whether he can pass a background check or not. All this does is make a crime where no crime existed before. Those who plan to commit murder or robbery at gunpoint won’t be deterred. Don’t believe that? Just look at California’s atrocious record.

Then there’s the extreme risk protection order – or so-called red flag law – that just took effect. As is the case in most states with similar regulations, it is now possible for a judge to issue an order for police to confiscate weapons from a Michigan resident who has no idea that he or she has been ordered disarmed.

What’s worse – again, as is the case in most of these states – Michigan allows no-knock warrants and pre-dawn raids. It shouldn’t take too much imagination to see how this could go horribly awry and cost the lives of law enforcement officers, residents who have committed no crime, or both. What reason in the world would an armed law-abiding citizen in Detroit have to believe that the gunmen knocking down their door at 3 a.m. without announcing their identity are police?

Foolish Gun Laws, Unintended Consequences

Another new Michigan law prevents people who have been convicted of domestic violence from buying, owning, or transporting a firearm for eight years after sentencing. This one may well save more lives than the others – but it also renders the convict, as all such “prohibited persons” laws do, unable to adequately defend themselves or their families. And of all the crimes for which people are falsely accused and convicted, domestic abuse ranks high, meaning there’s a much higher chance of disarming an innocent person than in most other situations.

The more astute reader has likely noticed the pattern here: Whether these gun laws achieve their stated goals or not, they all come with unintended consequences that could cost people who aren’t otherwise criminals their lives or their status as free Americans. As is so often the case, gun laws devised by gun-control advocates supposedly seek to make the world a safer place by disarming only the people who follow the rules.

Evidence of Ties to the Michigan Democratic Party?

544 Comments

On August 8, the Gateway Pundit revealed a major fraudulent voter registration operation that had been under investigation for almost 3 years in Michigan that spanned several cities across the state. Although the investigation was involved lead investigators working for Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel and at least one analyst working for Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the true depth of the investigation and the shocking details uncovered by the MI State Police and Muskegon Police Department were hidden from the public. 

Publications like The Detroit News downplayed the investigation and wrote an article to debunk a MI STATE POLICE REPORT titled, Michigan probe into fraudulent voter registrations referred to FBI, suggesting that the Gateway Pundit was a conspiracy site for daring to report on the details found in the MI State Police report we obtained exclusivley from Phil O’Halloran of MI-District 9 and Director of Election Integrity for the MI GOP.

Detroit News (Democratic Party spokesperson who identifies as a journalist) Craig Mauger, published what looked more like a press release by AG Dana Nessel’s office than a serious report on what many are saying is evidence of the biggest, multi-state voter fraud ring since he 2020 election. Mauger and MI AG Dana Nessel’s Press Secretary Danny Wimmer co-wrote the response to the Gateway Pundit’s bombshell article:...............To Read More.....

Michigan Election Interference: The Real Story

By Joe Fried 

 It is nice to see that Democrats are finally taking law and order seriously. Recently, the Democrat attorney general of Michigan, Dana Nessel, brought 16 dangerous geriatrics to justice. They are all prominent Michigan Republicans, and they were hoping to slip some fake elector certificates to Mike Pence during the joint session of Congress on January 6th, 2021.................Of course, I am being facetious. However, there are some serious points that should be considered...............To Read More....

Heartlanders Can Tell the Difference Between Woke and Awake

As woke policies quietly fade for US corporations, are lawmakers taking up the slack?

Hush now, it's Hunter Biden

Heartlanders, most of whom know with certainty what gender they are, scoffed at proposed woke legislation that would allow the delusional to become a protected class. A new handbag has been designed for those who voted Democrat in 2020, and, under the common-sense scrutiny of flyover folk, the GOP gathered in the City of Brotherly Love, vowing to save America’s public education.

Michigan Struggles to Stay Woke

House Bill 4474 passed the Michigan House by a 59-50 vote and will now wind its way to the state senate and maybe reach Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s desk. It seems innocuous at best – just a legislative package all bundled up and tied with a multi-colored bow. If passed, however, it means anyone in the Great Lake State who calls someone by a pronoun that causes hurt feelings could get fined up to $10,000 and spend up to five years in the clink. Yes, if this bill becomes law, misgendering people in Michigan will become a felony. “A felony? So, they can take your guns and your right to vote,” warned John Reeder.

The bill uses this language: Any person that applies a “willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable individual to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened, and that actually causes the victim to feel terrorized, frightened, or threatened.” That’s nearly everyone in the participation trophy generation, including those confused people who take a handful of hormone blockers daily.

Not everyone in the state thinks this is a solid idea. “The state of Michigan is now explicitly allowing the gender delusion issue to be used as a ‘protected class.’ This opens up numerous issues when it comes to the courts and the continued weaponization of the system against conservatives,” State Rep. Angela Rigas (R) told Fox News.

“That is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life,” said Amy Sowers in Springboro, OH. Others say, just do it and see what happens. Like Tsi Talon, who said: “I’d drive up there just to do it to see them try and come back to KY to enforce it.”

The Biden Handbag

Middle America is not the place to show off wealth or make extravagant purchases, except for that shiny new half-a-million-dollar John Deere combine at the local coffee shop. But dinner table talk in small towns across flyover country turned to the most ridiculous news of the week – a purse called “Microscopic Handbag.” It’s the size of a crumb. It can pass through the eye of a needle. And it was auctioned Wednesday for more than $63,000.

It would appear that Smithsonian Magazine started the tiny bag craze by publishing an article on celebrity interest in tiny handbags. A Brooklyn art and advertising company, MSCHF (which stands for miscellaneous mischief) was featured prominently for their creation. “This time around, MSCHF’s artists decided to focus their attention on luxury purses, some of which have gotten so small they no longer serve their intended purpose of holding items.”

According to one cable news network, the design was inspired by Louis Vuitton. The thing is, you have to look through a microscope even to see it: The overpriced dust spec is “657 by 222 by 700 microns – less than 0.03 inches wide.”

“I’ll take two of them. One in black, the other navy,” ordered Debbie Wormer in Redwood Falls, MN.

MSCHF has also made bank on giant red rubber boots and shoes containing human blood. But West Virginian Samuel Myers can put that bag to good use, claiming: “That’s the size a lot of us need with Biden running the country.”

Not Woke, Just Awake

Philadelphia hosted a Moms for Liberty event featuring the GOP’s big names. It was a weekend full of campaigning boot camp for the faithful and a place for inspiration. Former President Trump, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchison were on hand to talk about rewriting the US education system.

But, as is his norm, Trump does Trump: He stepped off the stage and headed out to rub shoulders with the common folk. Like him or not, the man is a master at connecting with voters. The former president made a beeline for Pat’s King of Steaks, the famous cheesesteak restaurant. He gripped, grinned, accepted cheers, and took selfies with the excited patrons. And while the video rolled, one black woman, with her arm around the former president for a photo, hollered over the crowd: “My 401K misses you.”

Residents Erupt After Michigan Dem Approves CCP-Backed Green Energy Deal

  Sarah Arnold Sarah Arnold  |  April 21, 2023

Michigan residents erupted angrily after state Democrats approved funding for a Chinese-backed green energy project.  During the Michigan State Senate Budget Committee hearing, Democrat lawmakers granted the final approval of $175 million in taxpayer money in a 10-9 vote to Gotion, a Hefei-based, China-based Gotion High-Tech subsidiary building electric vehicle (EV) battery factory in Big Rapids. 

However, almost all of the residents in attendants were less than thrilled about the plan, slamming the Chinese-backed deal.   "Why are we even considering, why would the county, the township, the state of Michigan even consider a Chinese-based company if, in fact, there is an American company willing to build this type of plant," Russ Jennings, a resident, said................"I am angry. I'm angry that this vote slipped into the agenda today with as little information as possible so people like me wouldn't know it's happening," she said. "I am furious that you, our elected officials, have ignored requests from my community to submit this ballot until a small semblance of due diligence can be conducted."

Furthermore, a community member accused the Chinese government of having a broader plan to "overthrow the United States without firing a shot."..................To Read More....

EXCLUSIVE: Unexplained Ballot Drop in GA Senate Race Likely Prevented Herschel Walker from Winning Race Outright – ‘Drop and Roll’ Pushed Race to Runoff

By Joe Hoft November 10, 2022 3212 Comments 

On Tuesday in the 2022 Midterms, the “Drop and Roll” occurred in the Michigan Governor race just like it happened in the 2020 Presidential Election.  It also occurred in the Minnesota Governor’s race.  We now have evidence that it also occurred in the Georgia Senate race stealing the win from Republican Herschel Walker.  The crooks and criminals are stealing US Elections in multiple ways.  One of the biggest ways they stole the 2020 Election for President was the “The Drop and Roll” method.

In the Drop and Roll incidents in the 2020 Election, we identified that at around the point where 90% of the expected ballots were returned, a large batch of ballots was “dropped” with nearly every ballot going to Joe Biden.  These batches were as large as 330,000 ballots for Biden in Virginia at one time........The drops are always in favor of Democrats.............To Read More...
