The
Republican Party has won an election integrity lawsuit against Michigan
Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over restrictions she imposed on poll
challengers. Benson, per the Republican National Committee, had imposed
restrictions on poll challengers, including a new credential form, an
"artificial deadline" for appointing them, and limiting the poll workers
with whom the challengers may communicate....To Read More...

The truth is that the Second American Civil War is...almost over. Unlike the first one, the Democrats appear to be a near lock to win.
Leftists, through a combination of brilliant projectionist strategy and callously evil use of their political opponents' naïveté, decency, and tolerance, have transformed America's institutions. They have weaponized them and used them against their less aggressive fellow citizens. In the process, they have transformed Americans, their beliefs and expectations, too. Much like the Chinese Communist Party, they own nearly all the levers of influence and power, exercising an iron grip on the education establishment, the mass media, Big Tech, Wall Street, corporate boardrooms, the health care industry, and Hollywood — and now the CIA, FBI, Defense Department, and ironically named Department of Justice (DOJ). This in addition to effectively controlling all three branches of the U.S. government.
They are using this power to obliterate the democratic representative republic our Founders built, even as they loudly and incessantly claim they are trying to "save our democracy." They are attempting a final push now, one in which they intend to grant the District of Columbia (meaning themselves) two senators, eliminate the filibuster (meaning the ability of the minority party to have any say in governance), pack the Supreme Court (meaning they are chagrinned that this is the one body that they don't fully control at present), and nationalize elections by banning the requirement of identification in every state (meaning they can steal every election going forward...in perpetuity).
Always the busy bees (and bodies), they also are continually replacing American citizens with illegal aliens flooding across the southern border, which they leave wide open for this very purpose. Then they grant these illegal invaders favors that American citizens do not receive.
Leftists take no chances; never rest; and will do literally anything to achieve, retain, and enhance their power. They are proactive, are always on offense, and build redundancies into their plans. Therefore, as mentioned, they leave our southern border open. Then they promise illegals free health care, education…and the right to vote. And just to be safe, they demand that no ID be necessary to vote. And that mail-in voting be allowed everywhere all the time. On top of all of this, they slander anyone who opposes these policies by labeling them racists, xenophobes, and bigots. They claim that those who oppose these "commonsense" polices are guilty of "voter suppression," even though the entire point of their policies is to suppress, dilute, and cancel the votes of the actual American citizens they detest in the red states and rural areas............To Read More....
When conservatives started worrying about election fraud before the 2020 election and complained about it after, they were told they were anti-democratic. It’s a whole different story in 2022 now that Democrats are insisting that the upcoming elections are a recipe for voter suppression.
The Democrat party and its operatives in the federal government have been outraged for over a year when they contemplate how anyone in his right mind could claim that the 2020 elections were fraudulent, despite voluminous and well-documented evidence suggesting massive and coordinated fraud and cheating during those elections.
Democrats keep claiming, without proof, that there has been no “significant” election fraud in 2020 and insisting that anyone who wants to claim there was must prove it or be silenced. Then, of course, they cut off all efforts to show that proof.
Most good faith attempts before judges to prove widespread fraud and cheating were either dismissed before the elections because it was “too early to sue” or, after the elections, because it was “too late to sue,” or the plaintiffs were dismissed for lack of standing. Outside of courts, conservatives were denied investigation and follow-ups (the FBI routinely denied any election-fraud investigations in 2020 and 2021), despite evidence from hundreds, if not thousands, of eyewitnesses, experts, and other inquisitive individuals and groups.
But once the Democrats grabbed federal power in both political branches of the U.S. government, they promptly changed their tune about claims of election fraud.
Now, when they face likely losses in coming elections, they keep claiming—without significant evidence to prove their claims—that the election systems in several states condone, facilitate, or cause “voter suppression.” They demand that Congress pass their H.R.1 bill, also known as the For the People Act of 2021, or its substitutes, the Freedom to Vote Act (dubbed by their Republican opponents as the “Freedom to Cheat Act”) and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, even if doing so would mean suspending long-standing, accepted legislative procedures. Some Democrats, like Mr. Joe Biden, are going further, insinuating without a shred of evidence that the 2022 elections are going to be “illegitimate” if the above-mentioned bills are not passed into law.............That is not quite surprising if one remembers how Soviet and Marxist regimes were permanently attached to their perpetual political power under the pretext of it being a necessary precondition for defending justice and the well-being of the oppressed common people. It’s worth noting that none of those regimes actually bothered to deliver all the goodies that they had promised so generously to their captive constituencies..............
There’s a reason why Democrats have long controlled poll places
One of the things that’s bewildered me for almost 20 years is why poll workers are so often Democrats. I assumed it was because Republicans were too passive and disinterested to get involved at the ground level. This matters because, as both Stalin and Biden said, what ultimately matters is who counts the votes—and the next closest thing to counting the votes is being a poll worker. I just learned that I owe Republicans an apology. It turns out that, in 1982, the RNC entered into a consent decree that prohibited it from aggressively enlisting poll workers, and that consent decree only fully ended last year.
(Editor's Note: Another reason the Republicans are called the Stupid Party. RK)
The consent decree isn’t a secret. It’s simply that I hadn’t paid attention to it before and, I’m betting, many of you hadn’t either. Breitbart has the story:
The consent decree was the result of a settlement with the DNC after the DNC sued its Republican counterpart for allegedly intimidating voters in predominantly Democrat areas of New Jersey during the state’s ultra-tight 1981 gubernatorial contest, as reported at the time by the Herald-News.
In a 2020 op-ed in the Washington Post, McDaniel detailed the numerous longstanding limitations the consent decree had placed on her organization and wrote of its newfound freedom that “the playing field” was “level again.”
What happened in 2020 was that the RNC was finally able to recruit poll watchers (but, as we know, Democrat poll workers often managed to kick them out). However, that’s only part of the battle. All other activities, including recruiting poll workers, had to be done under the umbrella of a presidential candidate’s own efforts. So it was the Trump campaign, not the RNC, that recruited poll watchers, and Trump lacked the wide and deep infrastructure the RNC has..........
Voters Oppose 'Transformative' Policies, Want Reform of Dysfunctional Bureaucracies
For months, Democrats have been citing such poll results to promote the individual components of their $3.5 trillion Build Back Better legislation. If you put everything up to the kitchen sink in a proposal, the whole thing should be popular, right?
Well, no, it turns out. Just as it turns out that, despite polling showing support for health care reform, Obamacare proved unpopular while Barack Obama was president and Democrats had majorities -- big majorities -- in both houses of Congress. Likewise, despite polling showing opposition to Obamacare, its repeal proved unpopular while Donald Trump was president and Republicans had (smaller) majorities in both houses of Congress...........
Biden And His Clown Car Have Failed America!
Politico reached out to me for a conservative perspective on Joe Biden’s first year in office, but when I hit their favored president too hard, they proved yet again that the establishment media continue to cover for this failed president as shills for Democrats and the far left. “I’m working on an experts round-up for President Joe Biden's first year in office. I'm reaching out to see if you would be able to participate,” she began, adding, “Here’s a link to one from last year that you participated in, when we asked for assessments of democracy after former President Trump's four years in office.”...........The reporter asked for 200 words by 4pm the following day. So I gave her exactly 200 words, as follows:
President Biden’s first year was the epic failure ........
The great Thomas Sowell opined,
“The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars
is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When
the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy.” I am reminded
of Sowell’s statement whenever I contemplate the irony of today’s
Democratic Party advocating for the voting rights of black Americans. White Democrats are not seeking voting rights to empower black Americans. They strive to maintain power for themselves, consistently exploiting black Americans toward that end...........
It is an indisputable historical fact that the 1965 Voting Rights Act was necessary because the Democratic Party
systematically stole elections for over 100 years. It is also a
historical fact that in a 100-year reign of terror, Democrats used
bribery, intimidation, torture, and murder against black Americans and
poor whites to illegally maintain power...........
Remember, admitting you have a problem is the first step towards recovery.

The extent to which corporate media rigs elections for Democrats has been rigorously documented since at least Tim Groseclose’s 2012 book, “Left Turn.” In that book, the political scientist concluded through data-driven analysis that media bias on average shifts the electorate 20 points to the left on a 100-point political worldview scale. Without media bias, he argued, the average American state would be as Republican-leaning as Texas or Kentucky, and those two states would be even more conservative.
Media bias was highly visible even before Rush Limbaugh made it a regular feature of his top-rated radio show that became nationally syndicated in 1988. As the Trump era dawned, however, media coverage moved from biased to outright propaganda.
Corporate media went from picking left-friendly frames and omitting facts that reinforced right-leaning views about public affairs, as Groseclose documented in 2012, to outright mass hoaxing of voters by 2016. While hyperventilating about the minority of Americans who believe conspiracy theories like QAnon, leftist media not only inflamed but also outright fabricated conspiracy theories that the majority of Democrat voters believe.
For example, in 2020, a majority of Americans — including 81 percent of self-described “liberals” — believed the lie that Donald Trump committed treason for Russia. That claim was disproven by a two-year, Democrat-populated special counsel investigation that spent $32 million to find no evidence for this hoax, which effectively hamstrung a president from pursuing what voters put him in office to accomplish.
This corporate media smear machine was only one of the numerous unfair advantages Democrats exploited in the 2020 elections. My colleague, Mollie Hemingway, just put out a new, bestselling book that also documents things like big tech hiding election-shifting news from voters and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg embedding Democrat get-out-the-vote operations inside local election offices — which are supposed to be nonpartisan! What’s more, all these cheats affixed into our nation’s election machinery haven’t been scrubbed away, not by a long shot.
While I work with Mollie and am highly aware of media corruption since it’s our bread and butter here at The Federalist, she still had many surprises for me inside “ Rigged: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections
Here I’ll share a few things she reports in the book that made me gasp out loud.........To Read More...
