Foolish Views and America in Crisis

By Rich Kozlovich

Let me say this as clearly as I can.  Abortion is a sin against God and man. It's the murder of the innocent unborn.  When reports about the horrors perpetrated on innocent babies in Israel by Hamas the outrage was palpable, among the sane and moral.  

Truthfully, I foolishly felt this would certainly impact Issue 1 in Ohio demanding unlimited and unbridled murder of these innocents.   How wrong can you be?  

Abortion foes suffered a grave defeat in Ohio Tuesday. A referendum to establish abortion as a protected right in the state’s constitution was overwhelmingly approved by voters. With 97% of the voting in, the measure was coasting to passage by a 56-44% count.........

Protect Women Ohio made this statement:

We know that Issue 1 does not represent Ohio values. It took $35 million in out-of-state funding and ads filled with fear and deceit to push through the most radical abortion agenda in the country. An agenda that will cement late-term abortion in our constitution, strip parents of their rights, and wipe out health and safety protections for women. This is not the Ohio way, and we are united in our fight against these extreme policies.

My question is this.  Why would all that funding by out of state misfits influence anyone?  The issue isn't funding, the issue is a matter of fundamental morality.  The issue is the willing acceptance to allow the murder of the innocent unborn.  That's a fundamental moral value, and now we know 56% of Ohioans have no moral values that can't be bought and paid for. 

Now Ohio has a Constitutional Amendment, via a ballot initiative, that permits abortion even at nine months.  I failed to realize the number of immoral and insane people out there.  While the moral and sane were outraged at the horrors perpetrated on Israel by Hamas, another foolish view was my failure to realize the untold thousands who celebrated these outrages right here in America (and they weren't all Muslims) wasn't just a mere fraction of society organized and paid for by a handful of wealthy leftist elitists. 

With all the insanity being imposed on the nation and the world by the Democrat party you would think society would be outraged and act accordingly.  Another foolish thought by me.  

From Liberty Nation News it's being reported that in spite of the excellent work done in Virginia by Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin the Democrat party now controls both houses of the General Assembly and Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear won re-election  won in Kentucky, and it seems this might well be a trend, in spite of the Republican victory in Mississippi's Republican Gov. Tate Reeves won a second term.  Also, in spite of all the outrageous judicial overreach and corrupt decisions, Democrats win Pennsylvania’s statewide judicial races. 

Don't let the censuring of Rashida Tlaib by the House fool you.  It's quite possible they House will go right back to the radicals in 2024. 

America's in crisis because of massive corruption in Congress, a corrupt judiciary, illegal Democrat immigration polices that allow anti-American misfits to ignore our immigration laws, an educational system, from Kindergarten to advance degrees, that has been contaminated with far left misfits who hate the American culture, people, economy, and the Constitution, and an out of control federal bureaucratic deep state. 

What could possibly go wrong?   Foolish thought.

K.T. McFarland: FBI, DOJ, and CIA rigged the last 2 elections… and they will rig 2024

May 22, 2023 By Thomas Lifson

 

Former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn — unjustly forced from office — offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the Deep State that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don't want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and A.G.

Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about "protecting democracy" from Donald Trump.  Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute clip of her.  I urge you to watch the whole thing, as there is a lot of richness that doesn't make it to this summary..........To Read More....

Sen. Hawley Blames Poor Midterm Outcome On McConnell

Sarah Arnold December 31, 2022

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is blaming the Republican's terrible track record during the midterm election on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).  During an interview at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, Hawley explained how several Republicans, including McConnell, have enabled the Biden Administration’s progressive agenda. 

“Listen, if you look at the last just two years in the Senate: Cave to Big Pharma on insulin. Cave to Chuck Schumer on gun control. Cave to the radical left on the climate agenda. That’s the so-called infrastructure bill,”

Eighteen Senate Republicans voted to advance the $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, which contains billions of dollars earmarked for Democrats’ woke agenda such as LGBTQ museums and antiracist institutions.  “That’s a terrible record. And then they wonder, Why didn’t we do better in the midterms? Gee, why, I don’t know,” Hawley questioned...............To Read More....

The Left is Using Lawfare Including Threats of Prosecution to Ignore Massive Voter Disenfranchisement

Rachel Alexander Dec 05, 2022

We are living in an unprecedented era, where the left has now mastered voter disenfranchisement and suppression, largely by controlling the legal system where statutory violations and crimes normally would be stopped. Instead, the left comes up with excuses to explain away every anomaly, even though the statistical odds of all of them taking place — almost exclusively hurting Republicans — are unbelievable. Of the 70-plus vote centers in Maricopa County that were plagued by bizarre printing problems affecting people’s ability to vote, almost every one was located in an extremely Republican area, averaging more than 300 percent more Republicans than Democrats. 

The reports that have come out regarding Arizonans unable to vote are lengthy, clearly not just a few people but hundreds and likely thousands. The Election Integrity Network published a long list compiled from merely 96 people as well as GOP observer attorneys, and what they witnessed was horrific. One voter, who could not find parking quickly due to the long lines, showed up barely after the polls closed and was not allowed to vote, with police escorting him off the property. 

Republicans have started filing election lawsuits over the strange outcome in Arizona, since no one believes that the top Trump-endorsed slate of candidates who were almost all leading in MSM polls lost.  But the left is already ahead of the lawsuits, filing bar complaints against conservative election attorneys. The scary 65 Project, which basically seeks to stamp out conservatives from the practice of law, has been selectively filing ethics complaints against these attorneys. Since state bars are almost all controlled by the left, and many states have mandatory state bars, it’s a no-brainer way to push through an illegal agenda like rubber stamping voter disenfranchisement. 

The 65 Project is all over conservative election attorneys in Arizona. I’m the former Maricopa County Elections attorney, and it’s like a who’s who list of my colleagues in Arizona. Recent state bar complaints have been filed against Alex Kolodin, Dennis Wilenchik and his son Jack Wilenchik,  Lee Miller, David Spilsbury, Christopher Viskovic and Kurt Olsen, who’s been heavily involved in Arizona litigation including representing Kari Lake. ..............To Read More.....

Biden campaign and Democrat party colluded with Twitter to swing the 2020 election

December 4, 2022 By William Sullivan

Elon Musk, Twitter’s new owner and CEO, just dropped a bombshell that has no known parallel in American history: The Biden administration and the Democratic National Committee colluded with Twitter to swing the 2020 election to Joe Biden and his Democrats.

And whatever other spin you hear about these revelations, the title of this article is now an absolutely indisputable fact that even the most dishonest of people would have difficulty arguing against.  As such, the goal for progressive spin doctors now is not to dispute the fact that the Biden campaign and the Democrat party colluded with Twitter to interfere with the 2020 presidential election.  Their task is now to hide that fact from the public to the extent possible by dismissing it as inconsequential, and to convince the public that the collusion that did take place is not a serious violation of the public trust.........

But what is really interesting is the tactic left-wing journos on Twitter are taking to deflect the implications of the story. They all seem to have gotten the same memo, using exactly the same talking points............ this story is just getting started, but here are the undeniable facts with which we are beginning:  Joe Biden, an uncharismatic fossil who spent half a century entrenched in Washington politics, along with his presidential campaign and the Democrat party, colluded with a multi-billion-dollar corporation to suppress the truth and ban the newspaper reporting it, in order to swing a presidential election in the Democrats’ favor. .......To Read More

Yes, it's been reported that the CENSUS BUREAU COMMITTED FRAUD. They knew they errored and refuse to correct.

Former Rep. Jason Lewis (R-Minn.) November 27, 2022 

 

If you think the government only has trouble counting ballots, you ought to see what happens when bureaucrats try counting people. Just as self-government depends on honesty at the ballot box, our Republic’s safety valve of “voting with your feet” depends on an honest Census count.............. Census numbers forecasted that Minnesota was scheduled to lose a congressional seat, right up until “blue state” numbers miraculously shot up in contrast to the usually reliable December estimates.  The Bureau has admitted it “over counted” Minnesota, which helps explains why DFL Chair Ken Martin giddily touted “the state with both the highest census response rate in the nation at 75.1% and the highest voter turnout in the nation.”

Imagine that.............To Read More...

Why the Midterms Didn't Surprise Me

November 28, 2022 By Robert Merz 

The red wave ebbed into a pink splash.  The Democrats are crowing and claiming victory while Republicans look for scapegoats.  But what can you expect when it isn't a level playing field, and the non-socialist team is fragmented?    

During the 2022 campaign, I chuckled while seeing ads where the same Democrats who voted for all of Biden's destructive programs tried to sound reasonable while calling all the Republicans "extremists" for opposing programs that were destroying the economy, the police, and the military.  Well funded Democrat ads ran all day, far outpacing Republican ads.  At the same time, most news programs and TV shows had a relentless Democrat slant.  Social media (socialist media?) stories were even worse.    

The two sides weren't equally matched and operated differently.  In addition to seeing some of the same voting and ballot irregularities that were present in 2020, we saw many of the same problems with Republicans that we've seen for years.  These included:  

• Republicans still don't stay on track with simple, consistent messages.  
• Republicans don't fight as a team.   
• Republicans still play nice and often don't fight back.  

On the other side:  

• Democrats have simple messages that are repeated ad nauseam.  
• Democrats continually attack by pairing themes with recent news stories.
• Democrats (and their surrogates) use every opportunity to push their talking points and bash opponents.
• And as my dad always said — the Bolsheviks never break ranks.  

The real problem for Republicans is that they still don't understand what they are up against.  They are still fighting the Democrats with a 1950 mentality, where political campaigns began a month or two before the elections and people were expected to be gentlemen.  Republicans don't understand the totalitarian-style long game the Democrats have been playing for decades (and its effects are cumulative)..............Why the Midterms Didn't Surprise Me

Arizona Voter Fraud

By Rich Kozlovich

As this election played out it was clear voter fraud was once again running rampant all over the nation, but this time there's a lot kick back, and one of the biggest kickers is Kari Lake of Arizona, who is confident she ‘will become governor’ after attorney general launches inquiry into Maricopa’s shenanigans, and I think she's right.  I think voter fraud is going to be proven, and I think a lot of Arizonans agree.

Mohave County Delays Certifying Arizona Election Results in Protest Mohave was the second Arizona county to delay certifying the election results, following Cochise County, which made its decision on Friday. However, unlike Mohave, the board of supervisors there did not promise to certify the result by the deadline.

And it appears there are three counties refusing to certify what they're calling "tainted" results.   We'll come back to that.  

• Maricopa Election Chief Bill Gates Tries to Explain Away Election Day Debacle, Makes it Worse Instead 
• AZ Asst. AG Demands Answers on Alleged Mishandling of Ballots in Black Duffle Bags
• Arizona Attorney General: Maricopa County Broke the Law on Election Day Katie Pavlich
  
• Breaking: Ariz. AG Takes Action - Ballots Reported in Black Duffle Bags - Officials Broke Election Laws - State Demands Names  
• Arizona’s ‘Election Integrity Unit’ Demands Answers From Maricopa County Over Election Day Problems 
• Maricopa County’s Election Dysfunction Was More Widespread Than Officials Said, Memo Claims  
  

The fact is, Arizona's numbers don't add up, and what we find is Arizona voted strongly for Republican Congressional candidates and yet voted for Democrats for statewide offices, and the numbers are screwy.  So, do we really believe that's normal?  Make sure to follow the link to see the analysis.  

So I did some analysis myself.  I kept wondering why is it always about Maricopa county, and now I know.  There are 7.276 million people living in Arizona.  Only 1.625 million live in Phoenix, which is in Maricopa county, but that's deceptive.  When all the cities and towns of Maricopa country are  counted, there 4.497 million living in Maricopa county, leaving only 2,779 million in the rest of the state.  So, if Maricopa county's vote count can be corrupted, there aren't sufficient numbers in the rest of the state to offset them. 

This challenge by Kari Lake is much bigger than I realized, and can potentially overturn the entire political structure of Arizona, including the corrupt RINO McCain cabal, and potentially an impetus for this kind of action in the rest of the nation.  

Do we really believe Pennsylvania voted for Fetterman?  Election officials took 6-hour 'detour' into closed building DURING ballot counting:

 

Ballot counting machines that won't count ballots. Hundreds of millions of dollars handed out, outside the election financing oversight system, to mostly left-leaning local election officials.  American elections in recent years have seen a wide range of behaviors that give the appearance of bias, and may have been illegal..............Poll watchers were banned.

Will this demand for election integrity spread?  We'll see, but if this isn't rooted out before 2024, there may never be a legitimate election in America again, and if that's the case, America will completely fall into the hands of those who are totally dedicated to hating and destroying America. 

Voters Aren’t Choosing Dems, Dems Are Choosing Voters

Daniel GreenfieldNovember 20, 2022 @ Sultan Knish Blog

 The people had squandered the confidence of the government and could only win it back by redoubled work. Would it not in that case be simpler for the government to dissolve the people and elect another?”

—The Solution, 1953

To understand how we got here, we need to begin with the founding premise of America, the one that motivated former British subjects to take up arms against a king, that the people had the right to choose their governments.

Now the divine right of kings has given way to the radical right of leftists to take power from the people in the name of the people. Unable to directly coerce voters, they instead exploited loopholes and weaknesses in the system to reinvent who the people were.

Democrats began by choosing a new electorate, one that was strategically defined by Senator Ted Kennedy and others as being more demographically friendly to its political machines. Into the urban political machines that had begun to lose their old immigrant bases as the Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants that had sustained them moved on to the suburbs, mass migration poured in a new electorate that would be more pliable and obedient to the party.

The combination of open borders and third world mass migration reshaped the political landscape. Cities, always prominent, became the 800-pound gorillas of politics, turning entire states in their direction. The nation’s demographics changed as rapidly as its politics did.

But that was only the first step. The second step, now well underway, was reshaping the structure of elections to allow Democrats to find the voters, instead of the voters finding them.

Voters going to the polls were exercising their power. But ballot harvesting and mail ballots transformed voting from an active act into a passive one. Voters weren’t choosing candidates, the political machines behind the candidates chose them. Massive voter registration, outreach and ballot harvesting machines targeted areas based on demographics and unearthed the votes that their statistical models showed that they needed in order to be able to win elections.

Election officials coordinating with Democrat operatives crunched the math and worked out how many votes would be needed for a given election. Big Tech bosses and their executives and engineers helped them develop the statistical models to harness the power of Big Data.

And elections came to bear little resemblance to people lining up to vote in their local house of worship. Big Tech had ‘disrupted’ another industry. Elections looked like Amazon: a massive giant leveraging its competitive Big Data advantage to disrupt how elections worked. And like many Big Tech operations that empowered monopolies while claiming to empower the people, elections went from empowering people to choose their representatives, to instead empower special interests, organizations and the party to win elections by choosing voters.

The bold idea of reversing power relations by reshaping the country to elect candidates, rather than shaping parties and candidates to appeal to the voters, reversed the historic gains of the American Revolution, turning America from a republic of free men to an oligarchy of the few.

Under the guise of ‘people power’, that is what the new elections have turned the country into.

While many concentrate on issues of voter fraud, they are symptomatic of a larger systemic change that transcends whether any given vote was cast legitimately to whether the system as a whole is legitimate. And the definition of a legitimate system, as set out by the Declaration of Independence, is one that allows the people to choose their representatives. Not vice versa.

It is difficult to look at today’s system of national elections and seriously believe that the results represent the consent of the governed. Democrats had previously argued that they were a more legitimately representative party because their identity politics included a wider spectrum of groups. But even in a midterm in which every single minority group, Latinos, Jews, black voters, American Indians and Asians, moved closer to Republicans, Democrats still held out.

They did it by analyzing voter trends and countering them by finding enough ballots to outweigh them. And in a system with ballot harvesting and mass migration, there will always be some ballots that can be found and delivered to outweigh the people. No matter how belatedly.

What happened in the midterms, once again, was that the voters rejected the Democrats, and the Democrats found other voters to overrule them. Those minorities who turned on the Democrats had their votes nullified by multi-billion dollar political machines who simply dug deeper, found folks who were (or perhaps even weren’t) legally eligible to cast a ballot and got to them.

With a massive national population that is being demographically transformed by millions of new arrivals, there will always be options for a political movement that is redefining elections from the active work of informed citizens to a passive surrender of support to the emissaries of political bosses. The old corrupt Tammany politics of wards and ghettos are running America.

What’s at stake is more than the outcome of any given election, but the very concept that America’s forefathers fought and bled for. America is not the only nation that has elections. Many countries, free and non-free, have them. What made our elections matter was that the power actually lay with the people, not with organizations and politicians claiming to represent them. When the people cease to be the source of political power, then elections become a meaningless charade that cover up the abuses of an oligarchy or a totalitarian state.

America’s elections only matter to the extent to which they represent an active decision by voters to choose officials to represent them, not a passive submission to their authority.

The Democrats have built a vast operation that allows them to ‘elect voters’. Unless America restores a system in which people elect politicians, our elections will remain fig leaves for a corrupt oligarchy of Big Tech monopolies and radical activists determined to take our power away.

Pennsylvania AG Announces Arrest in ‘Widespread’ Ballot Fraud Operation Days After Midterm Election

You Can't Handle the Truth! Part II

By Rich Kozlovich 

On Monday, April 25, 2022 I published this piece, You Can't Handle the Truth!, wherein I cover my views on leadership.  Leaders often aren't really leaders.  They're mostly managers who organize the direction everyone wants to go, hence, most leaders are popularity contest winners, and never really get anything changed that needs to be changed.  

Change isn't just an intellectual effort, it's an emotional effort, requiring certain mental and psychological characteristics, and a really tough hide, because the personal attacks are going to come in droves.  Real leaders striving for change aren't interested in money, power, prestige, privilege or position.  For the real leaders it's all about the mission, and they're prepared to face the consequences to accomplish that mission.  What's that mission? They despise the lies and the corruption, and they just want what's right.   One of my personal heroes is Col. John Boyd who made what I think is a fundamentally profound statement in it's simplicity:

"Ask for my loyalty, I’ll give you my honesty. Ask for my honesty, you’ll have my loyalty."

In that piece I discussed Kevin McCarthy saying: 

First, I have little confidence the Republican party, as it's now configured, will accomplish anything after they take control in 2023, at least not without Trump as President.  However, I do think there may well be enough actual conservatives who get elected this time to throw out Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, and possibly Mitch McConnell as the Senate leader. 

Well, most of that turned out to be wrong.  I also listed links to these articles, and McCarthy's intrinsic ability to capitulate under pressure.

•  We need to talk about Kevin McCarthy
•  STEVE BANNON Delivers Warning to Kevin McCarthy: “He Either Heaves on a Full MAGA Agenda or He’s Gone” (VIDEO)
• Audio: Kevin McCarthy Tells Liz Cheney He Will Recommend Trump Resign
  
• What gives with the McCarthy tape? 
• 'This Is a MAGA Party Now': Joe Biden Calls Out GOP After McCarthy's Leaked Comments on Trump 

Of course when the tide changed, AKA polls, McCarthy who wanted that ‘son of a b....' Trump out of politics, had an epiphany.  An epiphany mind you, must of been kinda like Paul on the Road to Damascus!  So, he went to Mar-a-Lago, genuflected and kissed Trump's ring seeking forgiveness, "because on reflection he realized just how wrong he was".  Lions, tigers and bears, Oh My!

You mean he needed time to see what was obvious to the most casual observer?  So, that's the quality of his intellect and political insights? Remarkable!

Well, two things. First the Senate didn't go Republican and the House barely became Republican, a situation that will only get worse if they don't fix the massive fraud going on in American elections.  As a result the most unpopular Republican in the nation, Mitch McConnell, is still going to be Republican leader in the Senate, and kicking McCarthy out as Speaker has now become problematic.  Why?  Two things.  

Unlike Senate leadership roles, which was created by the Senate, the Speaker of the House is a Constitutionally mandated position, and all members of the House vote for the Speaker, which takes  218 votes to become speaker, and McCarthy doesn't have them.  As of November 19th he only got 188 Republicans to vote for him.  And once someone is elected, they're there for two years, there's no do over.

So it's actually possible for a Democrat to become the Speaker for a Republican house, not likely, but not impossible either.  Also, the Speaker doesn't even have to be a member of the House, which is why there's all this foolish talk about making Trump Speaker.  That's not going to happen.  

•  Update:  11/21/22, 07:44 AM - This American Thinker piece shed some light on the vote for Speaker of the House and McCarthy.  MAGA and the House, which might explain the new spine McCarthy has seemingly developed.  Also, those 31 votes against McCarthy went to Biggs.  One more thing, although he claims he won't do it, McCarthy could ask Democrats to vote for him, and if that happens, he's toast as a Republican leader, no matter if he's Speaker of not.   RK

Here are some pieces on McConnell and McCarthy that outlines their history, and McCarthy is in my mind a notorious flipflopper, first supporting Liz Chaney and then condemning her, and all done with the same information at his disposal, except of course the last poll that created an "epiphany" and motivated his "moral" outrage. 

• McConnell joins Cheney and Kinzinger in giving aid and comfort to the swamp's denizens 
• Now Kevin McCarthy calls January 6 a 'violent insurrection': GOP war deepens after Trump attacked Mitch McConnell for calling it an 'insurrection' 
• Kevin McCarthy, Frank Luntz, and Other Cozy Swamp Connections
• McCarthy, allies retaliate against Freedom Caucus leader

So, now we have House Republican Freedom Caucus members, like Andy Biggs,  saying I cannot vote for Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker.  As for Kevin McCarthy, he's always been...at best....a leaky vessel.  Now McCarthy and his leadership team are refusing to adopt desired rule changes by conservatives, especially those involving spending reductions and restrictions, including ear marks, which the Democrats reintroduced.  House conservatives are disappointed, but claim they're not defeated.  We'll see, and in the meanwhile Kevin is putting on a vertebrate "show" by declaring:

That when he becomes the speaker of the House of Representatives in January he plans to remove “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN), from the House Foreign Affairs Committee due to her “antisemitic” comments.

That's it?  How about Mad Maxine who has been a virtual fog horn for violence against Republicans, including those in office?  How about "The Squad" for their outrageous actions and statements?   Don’t get sucked in to supporting Kevin McCarthy just because he’s doing the right thing with Ilhan Omar.

Well, he's claiming  I'll keep promise to bar Swalwell, Schiff and Oman from committees,  We'll see, but that isn't nearly enough.

One of my favorite writers is Clarice Feldman, and on November 20, 2022 she posted this piece, Congressional Hearings -- Do Them Right or Not at All, stating:

At the Federalist, Jordan Boyd offers up a proposed agenda for the new House of Representatives.................Assuming, for the sake of discussion, Republicans can overcome McCarthy and his presumed uniparty aspirations, Boyd argues that the limitations on legislative ability and to keep the promises the party made to voters it must “punish the Biden bureaucracy and its Democrat allies for creating endless crises.”  Boyd’s agenda is the following, not necessarily in the order he ranked them:

• Impeach Joe Biden
• Impeach Merrick Garland. Impeachment is something McCarthy said earlier he would not want to start with. I hope he will change his mind, because I think it essential.
• Defund the FBI
• Disband the J6 Committee (Note: I disagree, this should be extended and expanded with conservatives on that committee, and recall everyone who has testified in order to be properly questioned, including Nancy Pelosi. Then and only then will the truth be exposed.  RK)
  
• Probe the Biden family business
• Subpoena COVID Tyrants -- Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, former CDC Director Robert Redfield “who lied about the origins, research, effects and mitigation of COVID-19.”(In this regard we have learned that the odious FTX crowdfunded studies “through TOGETHER Trial falsely claiming hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin weren’t effective Covid treatments.”)
• Impeach Myorkas and others over failures to secure the border.

Will McCarthy end up being Speaker.  I think so.  Will any of this happen?  We'll see, but given McCarthy's ability to collapse under pressure, I certainly have misgivings.   Just like Joe Biden, never underestimate McCarthy's ability to screw things up.  And all this is a sad commentary on the Republican party. 

The Left Were the Mad Scientists, We Were Their Lab Rats

Once the Left took the presidency, the House, and Senate, they tried a deadly experiment on the American people.

By Victor Davis Hanson November 2, 2022 

 

Editor's Note: This appeared here.  I turned his comments into bullet points is I intended to use this piece as a source for an article of my own.   RK

As the midterms approach, one way of looking at America’s current disaster is that we, the American people, were lab rats. And since 2021, the Left were the mad scientists, eager to try out their crackpot leftist experiments on us. 

• The result is that the housing market is tottering on the verge of collapse. 
• As interest rates soar, our $31 trillion national debt crowds out everything else in the budget.
• Inflation roars at a rate of 8-9 percent per annum, higher than at any time in 40 years. Yet the prices of the stuff of life—food, fuel, shelter, energy—are far steeper still than the official rate. 
• No one is safe from thugs anymore—whether a commuter on a New York subway or the Pelosis in Pacific Heights.
• The country reportedly has a 25-day supply of diesel fuel—the energy source that runs the nation. Meanwhile, we keep draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve of oil—a commodity we have in abundance but refuse to produce fully.
• We never fixed the supply-chain crisis of last year, and so still face shortages of key consumer goods.
• The labor participation rate is at an all-time low—given fat government COVID subsidies, the Siren-song appeal of staying home after the lockdowns, fear of COVID, and millions of workers with long COVID.
• The post-Kabul Pentagon is quiet about the depletion of its critical stocks of weaponry. We have sent billions of dollars’ worth in howitzer shells, javelin missiles, and Hilmar rocket launchers to Ukraine without replenishing our own arsenals. The Army’s recruitment rate is off 50 percent this year.
• Our broken Navy is ossifying as China expands its fleet in expectation of absorbing Taiwan. 
• When we look to the president for an accounting for these madcap experiments, we get nothing. In the last few weeks, Joe Biden has lied that gas was $5 a gallon when he took office when it was half that. 
• He falsely swears that he passed his student-loan amnesty plan by one or two votes when he simply signed away a half-trillion dollars in debt by an executive order and bypassed Congress. 
• Kamala Harris is our border czar but she avoids the nonexistent southern border like the plague. 
• As the country depletes its petroleum reserves, she gushes about “solutions” like transforming the nation’s school bus fleet to battery power. 
• On the rare occasion she is allowed abroad, Harris has no idea what North Korea’s official name is—only that it is supposedly one of America’s staunchest allies. 
• We are now headed for a decisive midterm election. Strangely the hard-left architects of the last two years neither offer a defense of their failing agendas, nor agree to change them.
• No Democratic congressional candidates brag about the 3 million people who illegally crossed an open border. 
• None boast that they helped cancel key pipelines, reduced federal leasing of gas and oil, and shut down the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. None take credit for hammering investments in fossil fuels. 
• None preen over the no-bail and defund-the-police policies of left-wing, big-city prosecutors and mayors who have spiked crime.
• None insist that an annual 8-9 percent inflation rate is a desirable spreading of the wealth. 
• And yet odder still, no Democratic candidate, state or national—and most certainly not Joe Biden—offers to alter these toxic policies.
• If they won’t defend what they have done, they apparently will not undo what they have wrought either. 
• No Democratic gubernatorial candidate wants one foot built of a new border wall. No House candidate demands that the Keystone pipeline be finished. No senatorial candidate calls for fiscal discipline to lower inflation. 
• Instead, they stay mute. 
• Biden mutters lies about MAGA extremists under every bed while daily offering yet another made-up tidbit of his fantasy autobiography. 
• State and national candidates either avoid debates with their Republican opponents or delay them in hopes they will become irrelevant since millions of mail-in ballots are already cast. 
• Rarely have voters turned over their country to radicals, socialists, and nihilists.  We did in 2020. 
• And once the Left took the presidency, the House, and Senate, they tried a deadly experiment on us the American people, their veritable lab rats. 

It failed—and has now nearly destroyed us along with the country.  Yet in November the Left apparently demands more time for more experimentation on more of us. But to do what exactly?

• Pass more no bail laws and promote more defunding of the police? Make the jails and prisons emptier?
• More destruction of what’s left of the southern border? 
• More biological men overpowering women in sports?
• More printing of money?
• More cutting back on federal gas and oil leases and canceling pipelines? 

Apparently, the only thing that will stop their mad experimentation is that they have run out of us—their once willing lab rats.

PA Voters File Lawsuit to Delay Certification After Officials Detoured from Counting Center into a Closed Building for 6 Hours on Election Day

Pennsylvania election observers filed a complaint against the Delaware County Board of Elections after county officials took a detour on election night with the county’s ballots and v-drives into a closed building for six hours.  Poll watchers were prevented from entering the building at the time.  The county also deleted 194 voter registrations that were deleted after election day whose ballots were counted. 

That is the definition of voter fraud.  It’s too bad we no longer have a DOJ or law enforcement who will investigate actions like this.  They’re too busy plotting against Trump supporters............To Read More...

 

Suffering is the Beginning of Wisdom: Part III, Voter Fraud

The Red Tsunami Was Stopped by Massive, Widespread, Ongoing Voter Fraud - JD Rucker

By Rich Kozlovich 

Recently my friend Dr. Jay Lehr scheduled us to appear on a radio talk show dealing with the issues surrounding this election and our predictions as to what would happen. We both believed Republicans would take the House with at least 40 seats, and take at least two in the Senate and possibly more.  How could we have been so wrong?  We failed to take in to consideration covid.  

"When the scamdemic was at its peak going into the 2020 election cycle, some 17 states allowed for mail-in ballots. Now that the scamdemic is over, only nine of those 17 rolled back to the old voting methods."

This false pandemic gave the Democrats, who've been practicing voter fraud for decades, and in big numbers, now had the  opportunity to expand those fraudulent practices beyond anything they could have hoped for. 

Now, mail-in voting on a massive scale was allowed with drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and no identification needed at all. In short, there were no longer any standards for voter integrity in place, and the Democrats cheat....a lot.   Since they're not being challenged, caught, charged with a crime, and an invertebrate Republican leadership allows it to go on, why would they stop?  The Republican leadership nationally and in every state had to know this was happening and did nothing to put an end to it for two years.  As always these invertebrates were afraid of leftist accusations they would be trying to prevent people from voting and never daring to state the obvious fact the 2020 election was a total fraud.   

• The GOP Did Nothing to Stop the Fraud in 2020 or 2022 — What Now America?

How do they do it?  

I think the best piece I've read on this is another brilliant analysis by Jay Valentine, in his article, How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System, saying: 

Ballots and votes.....These two words seem synonymous, yet they imply opposite ways to choose a government.  There is a big difference between "votes" and "ballots."  The Republicans focused on winning votes; the Democrats focused on gathering ballots.  The ballots won. When Election Day became Election Month, mail-in ballots replaced in-person voters, and the electoral world changed forever.  It is not changing back.  

Democrats, expert in anything government-related, drove states to change laws, increase voting days, loosen voter standards.  Republican leadership dozed. Democrats, leftist non-governmental organizations, Big Tech invented every conceivable way to manipulate the ballot process: collect ballots, drop into streetside bins, fill them out if the voter doesn't.......... There were innumerable addresses where no voter could possibly live.

Democrats know how many votes they need and cast them during the forever campaign time in the name of phantoms.  Their ballot inventory comes from real ballots sent to fake addresses, then collected by someone — never a Republican — and voted.need tens of thousands of phantom addresses and voters.  A few is not enough.  Without thousands of loose ballots tied to phantoms, the edifice comes crashing down.

They also need Republicans to do nothing.........

(Editor's Note:  Make sure to follow the link to Jay's articles dealing with voter fraud, which appeared in American Thinker.  RK

When you have an unaccountable amount of ballots and drop boxes you don't need verification, you need agents to carry out this criminal activity.  A name and an address, and criminals to gather these fraudulent ballots, and a number of how many "drop in ballots" are needed to win, and that's why there are all these delays, interruptions and pauses.  That gives them the time to tabulate just how many fraudulent ballots are needed.

What is needed is for Republicans with spines to demand an immediate return to pre-2020 election system in competitive states or die.  And then each state party must push for an end to this "voting season" with massive early voting, an end to mail in ballots for everyone except American military and government employees serving out of the country, and that includes nursing home residents, which has been a hot bed of voter fraud for years. End ballot harvesting immediately.  Everyone votes on the same day, everyone votes at their polling place, everyone has a recognized legitimate I.D. 

 

As it is now, ballots in the tens of thousands appear out of nowhere, and invariably for Democrats, and in one of three ways.  Divine intervention, beamed in by Scotty from the Enterprise, or out right criminal fraud.   I think Occam's Razor applies here.  What do you think? 

Please review my 2022 Election file, much of it published today.  

Elections Were Stolen: Do NOT Let Them Gaslight You Into Thinking Otherwise

My story and show yesterday offered a way to fight back if Arizona gets stolen.  Arizona was stolen. Now, the gaslighting begins. Don't fall for it. We must fight back.

By JD Rucker 

Never in modern history have the polls been wrong by FAVORING Republicans heavily. Polls favor Democrats by 3%-6%, so in any race that's close in the polls, Republicans have a better chance of winning it than the Democrat because real results for the GOP outperforms polling. We saw a clear example of this in Florida where polls that favored Republican candidates underestimated their victories while polls that favored Democrats, such as the race between Eric Lynn and Anna Paulina Luna, were wrong. Luna defeated Lynn by 8-points despite the final two polls showing Lynn slightly favored.

That's how things are supposed to go, but this last election was different. Very different. Inexplicably and undeniably different. Instead of close races going to Republicans, they defied every election in modern history and went to Democrats. Even candidates who were clearly winning in the final polls, such as Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake or Pennsylvania senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, had their fortunes reversed.

But here's the catch. The red tsunami that everyone and their dog predicted was only thwarted in states where voter fraud is essentially permitted through loose voter ID laws, ubiquitous mail-in balloting, ballot harvesting, and unchecked vote counting practices. States that have stricter laws such as Florida and Ohio saw the predicted red wave. States where voter fraud is de facto legalized like Arizona and Pennsylvania saw inexplicable "wins" for corrupt Democrats.............To Read More....

We’re getting played when it comes to who’s the real 2022 winner

By Andrea Widburg

Following the dismal midterm showing, there’s a lot of blame to go around. While I can and will sum up the issue, I want to focus more narrowly on the way in which the entire Republican machine is turning from Trump, who is now anathema, to Ron DeSantis, who is the new god. Considering that we still have a long time before the primaries and then the 2024 election, this kind of decision-making is premature and dangerous—and that’s why we’re being forced into it.

Here's a short list of leading blame topics: (1) The GOP was useless; (2) American voters (especially the young ones), after 60 years of non-stop propaganda in the media, entertainment, and schools, no longer value freedom and the Constitution; (3) brainwashed women voters believe that fulfillment lies in a career and an appointment with the abortionist; and (4) Trump anointed weak candidates in pivotal elections.

Oh, and here’s what I believe is the most significant factor: mail-in ballots. In states with mail-in ballots, the Secretary of State mails ballots to every person on the registrar’s list. It’s irrelevant that many have moved, are dead, or are manifestly fraudulent (see all of Jay Valentine’s articles on the subject). At apartment buildings, you may see dozens of ballots sitting in piles in the lobby, addressed to people who long since moved away...............To Read More..

Gingrich: GOP Got Nearly 6 Million More Votes but Lost Many Races, ‘What’s Going On?’

By Eva Fu November 11, 2022

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has been in politics for decades, and never has an election bewildered him as much as the 2022 midterms.

“I’ve never been as wrong as I was this year,” Gingrich, an Epoch Times contributor, said on Nov. 10.  “It makes me challenge every model I’m aware of, and realize that I have to really stop and spend a good bit of time thinking and trying to put it all together.”  People from both sides of the aisle were projecting substantial losses for the Democratic Party amid rising discontent over inflation, the economy, and crime. But that expected red wave didn’t happen. ​​..........To Read More.

My Take - This appeared before it was known the Senate was lost. 

Can You Believe ‘Election Deniers’ Still Exist?

To borrow a favorite phrase of one sad old soul now perched in the seat of ultimate American power: "C'mon, man!" 

By Albin Sadar

We saw them after the 2020 presidential election and now they’re back. In the wake of the 2022 midterms, the election deniers have returned.    With mounds of evidence readily available revealing election fraud in 2020, and now the “slow steal” being rolled out in the 2022 midterms, people are still clinging to their election denial.     Yes, maybe some are realizing that these midterms weren’t exactly “the most secure election in American history,” but they will still vehemently deny that there was enough hanky-panky at the polls to make any real difference in the outcome. They still deny that the Left steals elections—and right out from under their very noses.

Here’s how they justify what happened on November 8: Sure, the Republicans were expected to produce a red wave like never before seen in our lifetime. But don’t you know that it was “Trump! Trump! TRUMP!” who was to blame for the red ripple?  ..........Until those of us on the Right stop being lapdogs playing the same old game thrown at us by the fraudsters, tricksters, liars, and cheaters on the Left, the destruction of our country will continue unabated—and that means right through the 2024 presidential election..............To Read More...

 

THE STEAL: The Number of House Seats Continues to Dwindle As GOP Leaders Again Allow This to Happen

November 12, 2022, by Joe Hoft

 The world is watching in amazement as corrupt election directors and politicians across the country can’t seem to finalize the results of an election four days ago.  Texas and Florida can complete their election results a few hours after the election, but other states are days away, if not weeks.  The 2022 Election was supposed to be a route for the GOP.  Biden and his gang of America-destroying communists are not liked.  They are even hated for their actions in Afghanistan, with the economy, the Jan 6 communist kangaroo court, and much more.  Most Americans can’t list three things that this administration has done for the good of America.  Many can’t name one thing............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...
