Messiest Suicide Ever.

Yep, totally and utterly self-inflicted.

Nothing hinky going on here.

Terrance Yeakey was discovered dead in a field near his hometown, El Reno, a mile and a half (2.4 km) away from his abandoned, blood-soaked car parked on the country road.

Yeakey was mutilated and shot to death: slit at his wrists, arms, elbows, stabbed in both sides of his neck near the jugular vein and shot in the side of the head at a 45-degree angle with a small caliber revolver.[6] Signs of hauling, such as rope burns on the neck, handcuff bruises to the wrists, muddy grass embedded in the wounds were observed on the body.[5] No evidence of alcohol was found in Yeakey's body.[4]

According to anonymous officers, no weapon was found at the scene despite the in-depth official investigation, until an FBI helicopter arrived.[5]

Really.

I have no trouble believing this.

 And if you do, you really need to pay more attention.

Our Favorite Spitfire, aka Ann Barnhardt, passes on a letter detailing the consequences of The Totally Safe And Absolutely Necessary For The Survival Of The Human Race Poison Vaccine:

I don’t want to speculate or put out wild conspiracy theories, but yesterday I received an email from my employer that went out to all patient care providers in our health system. The email detailed an entire set of guidelines and protocols that have been developed to rapidly identify, triage, and treat people who may be suffering an allergic reaction to either of the COVID vaccines. If reactions are as rare as we are being told, then why is this necessary? If the allergic reactions are typical of other medication allergic reactions, why does a different set of standards exist? All things to make you wonder.

Yeah.  Totally safe.  Big Pharma, Big Media and Big Government all agree.  What could possibly go wrong?

Health Tip!

Conservative, Inc. is going to be flooding your mailboxes with urgent demands that you send them money so that they can "protect you" and "fight the liberal machine" and to "send a message to Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer."

Since I know you're all going to be sending money to completely-successful and fully conservative institutions like Heritage and National Review, I wanted to remind all of you to take a ten minute break every hour of check-writing. Also, give each of your fingers a gentle, sustained stretch, so that they don't cramp up when you are furiously scribbling out checks to people who really, really have your interests, and not their own material comfort and future opportunities to work for leftwing media organizations, at heart.

I must remember to order more checks...

They Keep Using That Word...

 Folks, if you want to know when the Mushroom Media are lying(well, besides the fact that their lips are moving), listen for these obvious tells:

"Conspiracy Theory."

"Without Evidence."

And above all, "Debunked."  I kid not at all, whenever a 'journalist' or a Leftist (but I repeat myself) says something has been 'debunked,' you may rest assured that it most certainly has not, and can never be, because it's true.

No one's explained why a USPS truck driver was trucking 20-30 pallet-sized cartons of already-completed PA ballots into PA from NYFS.

No one's explained why all poll watchers and press were lied out of the Atlanta counting room.

No one's explained why after that happened, multiple cartons of ballots were pulled out of hiding and counted, God alone knows how many times.
...

Because there is no explanation, except to acknowledge that election fraud and stealing, not on an Industrial Age scale, but on an Information Age scale, took place in plain sight on Election Night, and for days afterwards, cheered on and abetted by an anti-Trump and pro-communist media, exactly as described by the president, and just as anyone with two brain cells has seen with their own lying eyes.

People were willing to shoot federal agents over one old thieving geezer's range land grazing fee thefts in Nevada. They were one wonky trigger spring from opening the ball, and that was years ago.

Everybody that thinks 70M people now - who know in their bones they've been cheated of a landslide election victory - are going to roll over for wholesale presidential election theft, and do nothing, signify that by standing on your head.

 

But remember, it's all been "debunked."  And if you believe that, I've got a sweet deal on some beachfront property in Nebraska.

"We will restore trust in our system of government."

 President Trump's latest speech:  RTWT.

 -------------------------------------------------

Thank you. This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections. We used to have what was called, election day. Now we have election days, weeks, and months, and lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially when you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote. As President, I have no higher duty to defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.

For months, leading up to the Presidential election, we were warned that we should not declare a premature victory. We were told repeatedly that it would take weeks if not, months, to determine the winner, to count the absentee ballots and to verify the results. My opponent was told to stay away from the election, don’t campaign. “We don’t need you. We’ve got it. This election is done.” In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered and perhaps they did, very sadly for our country. It was all very, very strange. Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint the winner even while many key states were still being counted.

The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We’re going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted. This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me, it’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and in all future elections.

Today I will detail some of the shocking irregularities, abuses and fraud that had been revealed in recent weeks but before laying out just a small portion of the evidence we have uncovered, and we have so much evidence, I want to explain the corrupt mail-in balloting scheme that Democrats systematically put into place that allowed voting to be altered, especially in swing states, which they had to win. They just didn’t know that it was going to be that tough, because we were leading in every swing state by so much, far greater than they ever thought possible. While it has long been understood that the Democrat political machine engages in voter fraud from Detroit to Philadelphia, to Milwaukee, Atlanta, so many other places. What changed this year was the Democrat party’s relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind. This allowed fraud and abuse to occur in a scale never seen before. Using the pandemic as a pretext, Democrat politicians and judges drastically changed election procedures just months, and in some cases, weeks before the election on the 3rd of November.

Very rarely were legislatures involved and constitutionally, they had to be involved, but very, very rarely, and you’ll see that as we continue to file our suits, it’s constitutionally, absolutely incorrect what took place, even from a legal standpoint. Many states, such as Nevada and California sent millions of live ballots to every person on their voter rolls whether those individuals had requested ballots or not, whether they were dead or alive, they got ballots. Other states such as Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin, instituted universal absentee balloting right in the middle of an election year, sending absentee ballot requests forms to all voters on all rolls. It didn’t matter who they were. This colossal expansion of mail-in voting opened the flood gates to massive fraud. It’s a widely known fact that the voting rolls are packed with people who are not lawfully eligible to vote, including those who are deceased, have moved out of their state, and even our non-citizens of our country.

Beyond this, the records are riddled with errors, wrong addresses, duplicate entries, and many other issues. This is not disputed. It has never been disputed. Dozens of counties in the key swing states have more registered voters on the rolls than they have voting age citizens, including 67 counties in Michigan. All of this is evidence. In Wisconsin, the state’s Board of Elections could not confirm the residency of more than 100,000 people, but repeatedly refused to remove those names from its voter rolls before the election. They knew why, nobody else did. I knew why. They were illegal voters. It is a travesty that in the year 2020, we do not have any means of verifying the eligibility of those who cast ballots in an election and such an important election it is, or determining who they are, whether they live in the state or whether they’re even American citizens. We have no idea.

We have an in all swing states major infractions or outright fraud, which is far more in numbers or votes then we need to overturn the results of a state. In other words, in Wisconsin, as an example, where we were way up on election night, they ultimately had us miraculously losing by 20,000 votes. I can show you right here, that Wisconsin, we’re leading by a lot and then at 3:42 in the morning, there was this, it was a massive dump of votes, mostly Biden, almost all Biden. To this day, everyone’s trying to figure out, “Where did it come from?” But I went from leading by a lot, to losing by a little and that’s right here. That’s at 3:42 in the morning, that’s Wisconsin, a terrible thing, terrible, terrible thing.

But we will have far more, many times more than the 20,000 votes needed to overturn the state. If we are right about the fraud, Joe Biden can’t be president. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. We’re talking about numbers like nobody has ever seen before. Just as an example, in certain states, we’ll be down by, let’s say, 7,000 votes, but we’ll find later on 20,000, 50,000, 100,00, 200,000 discrepancies or fraudulent votes, and that includes votes that went through when they were not allowed to be seen by Republican poll watchers, because the poll watchers were locked out of the building. Or people that innocently came to vote on November 3rd, who were all excited about their vote, they were happy. They were proud to be citizens of the United States of America, and they went up and they said, “I’d like to vote.” They were told that they can’t vote. “I’m sorry,” they were told, “I’m sorry. You’ve already voted by mail-in ballot. Congratulations. We received a ballot, so you can no longer vote.”

They didn’t know what to do. They had no one to complain to, most just left and said, “That’s strange.” But many people complained and complained vehemently, and in a lot of cases, they filled out a provisional ballot, which was almost never used, but in virtually every case was a vote for Trump. In other words, they went in to vote and they were told that they voted and they didn’t vote. They left and they felt horror and they lost respect for our system. This happened tens of thousands of times all over the country. That’s how desperate the Democrats were. They would fill out ballots of people not even knowing if these people were going to show up. When they did show up, they said, “Sorry, you’ve already voted.”

On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.

In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly. Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster. Election authorities in Texas have repeatedly blocked the deployment of Dominion systems due to concerns about security vulnerabilities and the potential for errors and outright fraud. Every district that uses Dominion systems must be carefully monitored and carefully investigated, but not only for the future. Right now, we’re worried about the present, and what went on with an election that we won without question. Under my lead, the Republicans won almost every state house in the United States, which they weren’t expected to do. We went up to 16 seats in the house. The numbers are still being tabulated, because there are nine seats that nobody really knows. They don’t know. Two weeks later, it’s still under consideration, because it’s a mess. Republicans were supposed to lose many seats, and instead they won those seats in the house, and a very important election that’s coming up will determine whether, or not we hold the Senate.

David Perdue and Kelly Leffler are two tremendous people. Unfortunately, in Georgia, they’re using the same horrible Dominion system, and it’s already been out that, think of it, hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots have been requested. You check it out who’s requesting those ballots. The difference is, it’s one state, and we will have our eyes on it like nobody’s ever watched anything before, because we have to win those two Senate seats. The tremendous success we had in the House of Representatives, and the tremendous success we’ve had so far in the Senate, unexpected success all over the country, and right here in Washington.

It is statistically impossible that the person, me, that led the charge lost. The greatest pollsters, the real pollsters, not the ones that had us down 17 points in Wisconsin when we actually won, or the ones that had us down four or five points in Florida, and we won by many points, or had us even, and down in Texas, and we won by a lot, not those pollsters, but real pollsters. Pollsters that are fair, and honest said, “We can’t understand a thing like this. It’s never happened before. You led the country to victory, and you were the only one that was lost. It’s not possible.”

The speaker of the house of a certain state said, “Sir, I expected to lose my seat, and instead, because of you, and because of that incredible charge, and all of those rallies, we had a tremendous victory, and everybody knows it. You are much more popular than me, sir, except I got many more votes than you did, and it’s impossible that that happened. There is something wrong.” I’ll tell you what’s wrong, voter fraud. Here’s an example. This is Michigan. At 6:31 in the morning, a vote dump of 149,772 votes came in unexpectedly. We were winning by a lot. That batch was received in horror.

Nobody knows anything about it. By the way, there’s your line. This is one of many. Here’s what is normal, and all of a sudden, look at that. This is normal, normal. Look even here, normal, and then boom, all of a sudden, I go from winning by a lot to losing a tight race. It’s corrupt. Detroit is corrupt. I have a lot of friends in Detroit. They know it, but Detroit is totally corrupt. Look at this, look at this. That’s at 6:31 in the morning, unexpectedly came in. In the recent recount in Georgia, which means nothing because they don’t want to check signatures, and if you’re not going to check signatures in Georgia, it doesn’t work, but we have a secretary of state, and a governor who made it very difficult to check signatures.

Why? You’ll have to ask them, but without a signature match, or a check, it doesn’t matter. They found thousands and thousands of votes that were out of whack, all against me. This was during a recount that I didn’t even think mattered. They found many thousands of votes, and that recount didn’t matter. The one that matters is the one that’s going on now, that because of the fact it’s so close, they had to by law give another recount, but the recount has to be a recount where they check the signatures. Otherwise, they’re just checking the same dishonest thing. It won’t matter.

In this case, the signatures on envelopes are the only thing that is relevant. We will compare the signature on the envelope to the signatures from past elections, and we will find that many thousands of people signed these ballots illegally. The Democrats had this election rigged right from the beginning. They used the pandemic, sometimes referred to as the China virus, where it originated as an excuse to mail out tens of millions of ballots, which ultimately led to a big part of the fraud, a fraud that the whole world is watching, and there is no one happier right now than China.

Many people received two, three and four ballots. They were sent to dead people by the thousands. In fact, dead people, and we have many examples filled out ballots, made applications, and then, voted, which is even worse. In other words, dead people went through a process. Some have been dead for 25 years. Millions of votes were cast illegally in the swing states alone, and if that’s the case, the results of the individual swing states must be overturned, and overturned immediately. Some people say that’s too far out, that’s too harsh. Well, does that mean we take a precedent, and we’ve just elected a president where the votes were fraudulent?

No, it means you have to turn over the election, and everybody knows without going much further, and they’ve seen the evidence, but they don’t want to talk about it what a disaster this election was, a total catastrophe, but we’re going to show it, and hopefully, the courts in particular, the Supreme Court of the United States will see it, and respectfully, hopefully, they will do what’s right for our country, because our country can not live with this kind of an election. We could say, let’s go on to the next one, but no, we have to look also at our past. We can’t let this happen.

Maybe you’ll have a revote, but I don’t think that’s appropriate. When those votes are corrupt, when they’re irregular, when they get caught, they’re terminated, and I very easily win. In all states, I very easily win, the swing states, just like I won them at 10 o’clock in the evening, the evening of the election. We’re not looking to show you 25 faulty or fraudulent votes, which don’t mean anything, because it doesn’t overturn the state, or a fifty, or a hundred. We’re showing you hundreds of thousands far more than we need, far more than the margin, far more than the law requires. We can show many times what is necessary to win the state.

The media knows this, but they don’t want to report it. In fact, they outright refuse to even cover it, because they know the result if they do. Even what I’m saying now will be demeaned and disparaged, but that’s okay. I just keep on going forward, because I’m representing 74 million people, and in fact, I’m also representing all of the people that didn’t vote for me. The mail-in voting scam is the latest part of their four year effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election, and it’s been like living in hell. Our opponents have proven many times again and again, that they will say, and do anything to get back into power.

The corrupt forces who are registering dead voters and stuffing ballot boxes are the same people who have perpetrated one phony and fraudulent hoax after another. You’ve been watching it now for four years. These entrenched interests oppose our movement, because we put America first. They don’t put America first, and we’re returning power to you the American people. They don’t want America first, they only want power for themselves. They want to make money, that’s why they don’t want me as your president. I’ve been investigated from soon after I announced I was running for president. When I immediately went to number one in the Republican primary polls, the investigations never stopped. They went on for four years, and I won them all, I beat them all. Russia, Russia, Russia, the impeachment hoax, and so much more. Robert Mueller spent $48 million of taxpayer money investigating me for two and a half years, issued over 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, issued 230 orders for communications records, and conducted 500 witness interviews, all looking to take me down. There was no collusion in the end, none whatsoever. Senator Marco Rubio, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee stated, “The committee found no evidence that then candidate Donald Trump, or his campaign colluded with the Russian government.” And, I thank Senator Rubio for that statement.

Now, I hear that these same people that failed to get me in Washington have sent every piece of information to New York, so that they can try to get me there. It’s all been gone over, over and over again. For $48 million you go through tax returns, you go through everything. The New York attorney general, who recently ran for office campaigned without knowing me stating, “We will join with law enforcement and other attorneys general across this nation in removing this president from office.” I never met her. “It’s important that everybody understands”, she said, “that the days of Donald Trump are coming to an end.” And all it’s been is a big investigation in Washington and New York and any place else that can investigate because that’s what they want to do. They want to take not me, but us down. Then we can never let them do that. Everything has been looked at. A friend of mine, who’s very smart, said, “You’ve probably seen more than anybody else. You’ve probably been investigated more than anybody else. And for you to come out with a clean bill of health makes you probably the cleanest person in this country.”

Some people in this administration, but fortunately not all have been beaten down and disparaged. They just disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to them. Why aren’t they active? Why aren’t they involved? There’s so much to be involved in. The corruption is so rampant. They just couldn’t take it anymore. They were threatened by Democrats with impeachment and horrible things were said about them. And they’re good people. Even recently, the head of the GSA was hounded and harassed as she reported, like she has never been before. What can I say? We caught Comey cold, we caught McCabe cold. We caught them all. We’re still waiting for a report from a man named Durham, who I have never spoken to, and I have never met. They can go after me before the election as much as they want, but unfortunately Mr. Durham didn’t want to go after these people, or have anything to do with going after them before the election. So who knows if he is ever going to even do a report.

Ut if you look at the lies, and the leaks, and the illegal acts of behavior done by so many people, and their desire to hurt the president of the United States, something should happen. The hardest thing I have to do is explain why nothing is happening with all of these people that got caught spying on my campaign. It’s never happened before and it should never happen again to a president of the United States. All you have to do is watch the hearings and see for yourself. The evidence is overwhelming. The fraud that we’ve collected in recent weeks is overwhelming, having to do with our election. Everyone is saying, ” Wow, the evidence is overwhelming”, when they get to see it. But really it’s too late to change the course of an election. It’s too late to change the outcome.

In fact, there is still plenty of time to certify the correct winner of the election and that’s what we’re fighting to do. But no matter when it happens, when they see fraud, when they see false votes and when those votes number far more than is necessary, you can’t let another person steal that election from you. All over the country, people are together in holding up signs, “Stop the steal.” To understand how we will challenge this fraud, it is important to know the problems with mail-in balloting. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Arizona, and most other states allowed anyone to get an absentee ballot and cast their vote without showing any ID. The voting took place entirely on the honor system, no identification of any kind was required.

Most Americans would also be shocked to learn that no state in the country verifies United States citizenship as a condition for voting in federal elections. This is a national disgrace. No other advanced country conducts elections this way. Many European countries have instituted major restrictions on mail-in voting, specifically, because they recognize the nearly unlimited potential for fraud. Out of 42 European nations, all but two prohibit absentee ballots entirely for people who reside inside the country, or else they require those who need absentee ballots to show a very, very powerful ID.

Throughout the Democrat effort to dramatically expand mail-in voting, the Democrat party leaders were also, feverishly working to block measures, designed to protect against fraud, such as signature verification, residency verification, or voter ID. And citizenship confirmation was almost unthought of that we should ask for it. Can you believe this? These are not the actions of people who want fair elections. These are the actions of people who want to steal elections, who are willing to create fraud. The only conceivable reason why you would block common sense measures to verify legal eligibility for voting, is you are trying to encourage, enable, solicit, or carry out fraud.

It is important for Americans to understand that these destructive changes to our election laws were not a necessary response to the pandemic. The pandemic simply gave the Democrats an excuse to do what they have been trying to do for many, many years. In fact, the very first bill that house Democrats introduced when Nancy Pelosi became speaker, was it attempt to mandate universal mail-in voting and eliminate measures such as voter ID, which is so necessary. Dramatically eroding the integrity of our elections was the Democrats number one priority for a simple reason, they wanted to steal the 2020 presidential election. All of the Democrat efforts to expand mail-in balloting laid the groundwork for the systematic and pervasive fraud that occurred in this election.

In Pennsylvania, large amounts of mail-in and absentee ballots were processed illegally. And in secret, in Philadelphia, in Allegheny counties, without our observers present. They were not allowed to be present. In fact, they weren’t even allowed in the same room. They were thrown out of the building and they looked from outside in, but they had no way of even seeing, because there were no windows. And the windows that were there were boarded up. Democrats even went to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to block observers from receiving access. There is only one possible reason that the corrupt Democrat political machine would oppose transparency during the vote counting. It’s because they know they are hiding illegal activity. It’s very simple.

This is an egregious, inexcusable. And irreversible harm that stains the entire election, yet this unprecedented practice of excluding our observers, our vote watchers, as some people call them, occurred in Democrat run cities and key states all across the nation. Here are just some of the additional facts that we’ve uncovered. Many voters all across Pennsylvania received two ballots in the mail, and many others received mail-in ballots for which they never applied. So many get ballots, they didn’t even know what they were for. And again, so many received more than one ballot. In some cases, more than two ballots. And they happened to be, for the most part, Democrats.

In Fayette County, Pennsylvania, multiple voters received ballots that were already filled out. They didn’t know what happened. In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a poll watcher, overheard unregistered voters being told to return later to try to vote under a different name. Tens of thousands of voters across Pennsylvania were treated differently based on whether they were Republicans, or Democrats. Voters who submitted floored ballots in some Democrat precincts were notified and asked to fix their ballots, while Republican precincts, and in particular Republican voters, were not so notified which plainly violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution.”If you are a Democrat, we’re going to fix up your ballot. make sure it’s perfect. If you are Republican, don’t even talk about it.”

In Michigan, a career employee of the city of Detroit, with the city workers, coaching voters to vote straight Democrat, while accompanying them to watch who they were voting for, violating the law and the sanctity of the secret ballot. You can’t do that. The same workers say she was instructed not to ask for any ID and not to attempt to validate any signatures. She was also told to illegally backdate ballots, many, many ballots, received after the deadline. This is something that is so unconstitutional and she estimates that thousands and thousands of ballots were improperly backdated by her and many others.

Other witnesses in Detroit also saw our election officials counting batches of the same ballots many times, as well as illegally duplicating ballots. One observer testified to seeing boxes and boxes of ballots, all bearing the same signature. Another observer in Detroit gave sworn testimony that he saw countless and valid ballots that did not belong to properly registered voters and then witnessed election workers in Wayne County entering fake birth dates into the system, in order to illegally count them. Witnesses of science wore an affidavit, so in other words, you go to jail if you lie, testifying that after election officials announced the last absentee votes had been received, a batch of tens of thousands of ballots arrived, many without envelopes, all voting for Democrats.

In Wisconsin, a record number of voters were categorized as indefinitely confined. A status reserved for severely disabled individuals, also for the elderly that allow them to vote without showing ID. Last year, approximately 70,000 people claimed this status statewide. This year, the number miraculously was nearly 250,000 voters, after election officials in Milwaukee and Dane County, a couple of the most corrupt political places in our country, urged citizens to improperly register under this status. And register they did in levels that don’t exist. In Wisconsin, there are approximately 70,000 absentee ballots that do not have matching ballot applications as required by law in Georgia, nine observers have testified to seeing countless irregular ballots without the creases or typical markings indicating that the ballots did not arrive in envelopes as required. A poll watcher in Fulton County estimated that approximately 98% of the large number of unusually pristine ballots that she witnessed were for Biden. Highly unusual number. In addition, thousands of uncounted ballots were discovered in Floyd, Fayette, and Walton counties weeks after the election, and these ballots were mostly from Trump voters. They weren’t counted. They were from Trump voters.

In Detroit, everybody saw the tremendous conflict and the horrible way that the two Republican canvassers were treated so horribly because they wouldn’t vote when they saw that 71% of the precincts didn’t balance. Also, there were more votes than there were voters. Think of that. You had more votes than you had voters. That’s an easy one to figure, and it’s by the thousands. In Arizona, in-person voters whose balanced produced error messages from tabulation machines were told to press a button that resulted in their votes not being counted. Also in Arizona, the attorney general announced that mail-in ballots had been stolen from mailboxes and hidden under a rock.

In Clark County, Nevada, where most of the state’s voters reside, the standards for matching a signature using the signature verification machine were intentionally lowered to allow large numbers of ballots to be counted that otherwise would never have passed muster. This machine was set at the lowest level. According to one report, in order to test the process, nine voters in Clark County cast ballots with intentionally incorrect signatures, and eight of the nine ballots were accepted and counted. They said you could sign your name as Santa Claus, and it would be accepted. Last week, the Clark County Commission threw out the results of a local election after the registrar reported finding, quote, “discrepancies that we can’t explain.” Also in Nevada, some voters were entered into a raffle for more than a dozen gift cards worth as much as $250 if they could prove they had voted.

This took place on Indian reservations. One of the most significant indications of widespread fraud is the extraordinarily low rejection rates for mail-in ballots in many key states. These are the states that I had to win. In swing state after swing state, the number of ballots rejected has been dramatically lower than what would have been expected based on prior experience. That means years and years of voting. In Georgia, just 0.2%, that’s substantially less than 1%, of mail-in ballots have been rejected. In other words, almost none have been rejected. They took everything. Nothing was rejected, practically, compared to 6.4% in 2016. There are those that think that 6.4 was a low number.

Think of it. Almost none were rejected. The previous election, 6.4% were rejected. We have seen similar declines in Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan. Ballots weren’t rejected, especially if they happen to be in Democrat areas. These irregularities are inexplicable unless there is a deliberate effort to accept ineligible ballots or fraudulent ballots.

In Pennsylvania, the secretary of state and the state supreme court in essence abolished signature verification requirements just weeks prior to the election, in violation of state law. You’re not allowed to do that. It has to be approved by the legislature. A judge can’t do it. A state can’t do it. An official can’t do it. The only one that can do it is the legislature.

The reason for this is clear. They were not verifying signatures because they know the ballots have not been filled out by the voters in whose names they were cast. In other words, people filled them out that had nothing to do with the names on the ballot. A simple recount of the ballots under these circumstances only compounds the fraud. The only way to determine whether there was an honest vote is to conduct a full review of the envelopes in the relevant states. You will find that many of them, tens of thousands, have fraudulent signatures. A full forensic audit is required to ensure that only legal ballots from lawfully registered voters that were properly cast are included in the final count.

This election is about great voter fraud, fraud that has never been seen like this before. It’s about poll watchers who were not allowed to watch. So illegal. It’s about ballots that poured in, and nobody but a few knew where they came from. They were counted, and they weren’t for me. It’s about big leads on election night, tremendous leads, leads where I was being congratulated for a decisive easy victory. All of a sudden, by morning or a couple of days later, those leads rapidly evaporated. It’s about numbers of ballots that were sent that nobody know where they came from. It’s about machinery that was defective, machinery that was stopped during certain parts of the evening, miraculously to open with more votes.

It was about many other things, but above all, it was about fraud. This election was rigged. Everybody knows it. I don’t mind if I lose an election, but I want to lose an election fair and square. What I don’t want to do is have it stolen from the American people. That’s what we’re fighting for. We have no choice to be doing that. We already have the proof. We already have the evidence, and it’s very clear. Many people in the media and even judges so far have refused to accept it. They know it’s true. They know it’s there. They know who won the election, but they refuse to say, “You’re right.” Our country needs somebody to say, “You’re right.”

Ultimately, I am prepared to accept any accurate election result, and I hope that Joe Biden is as well. We already have the proof. We already have tens of thousands of ballots more than we need to overturn all of these states that we’re talking about. This is an election for the highest office in the greatest country in the history of the world. Every reasonable American should be able to agree, based on what we have already documented, that we need a systematic analysis of the mail-in ballots to review the envelopes. It’s about the signature. If they’re on the envelopes, we can only review the envelopes, and that will tell us everything.

This is the absolute minimum we should expect. This is not just about my campaign, although it has a lot to do with who’s going to be your next president. This is about restoring faith and confidence in American elections. This is about our democracy and the sacred rights that generations of Americans have fought, bled, and died to secure. Nothing is more urgent or more important. The only ballots that should count in this election are those cast by eligible voters who are citizens of our country, residents of the states in which they voted, and who cast their ballots in a lawful manner before the legal deadline.

Moreover, we must never again have an election in which there is not a reliable and transparent system to verify the eligibility, identity, and residency of every single person who casts a ballot, a very, very cherished ballot. Many very smart people have congratulated me on all we’ve done: the biggest tax cuts in history, regulation cuts, the biggest in history. We rebuilt our military. We took care of our vets like never before, Space Force, and so much more. Then they went on to say, as big and as important as these events were, the single greatest achievement in your presidency will be exactly what you’re doing right now: voter integrity for our nation. It’s more important than any of the things that we discussed.

If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we don’t have a country anymore. With the resolve and support of the American people, we will restore honesty and integrity to our elections. We will restore trust in our system of government. Thank you. God bless you. God bless America.

Dr. Zero Explains It All

From John Hayward's TWTR feed:

Privileged elites always want to assert their status by indulging in pleasures denied to the lower classes. This often leads them into immoral, deranged, and even criminal behavior. They're desperate to flaunt their power by doing what lesser folk are forbidden to do.

This is one of the reasons for the wave of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and pedophilia among the richest and most powerful. They indulge increasingly depraved appetites to savor the sweet, sweet high of doing what ordinary people cannot, feasting on the food of the gods.

It's also one of the reasons high-living elites are drawn to puritanical secular pseudo-religions, like the Church of Global Warming and now the Church of Covid. They have a deep appetite for making aspects of modern life forbidden to the Little People, but not to themselves.

You'll notice that high acolytes of the Church of Global Warming have absolutely no intention of compromising THEIR extravagant lifestyles. They jet set, they have yachts and huge cars, they buy beachfront mansions on property they claim to believe will be underwater soon.

But they have a deep desire to make planes, cars, and accoutrements of the First World lifestyle forbidden to the proletariat. They love how their ideology elevates them into a superior overclass, reaffirming their importance by asserting they "need" or "deserve" so much more.

These elite appetites are useful to the Left because they fold neatly into its endless war against the hated middle class. The perversions of the elite inspire them to attack the morality that would otherwise help lower and middle class people improve their station in life.

Meanwhile, the fanatical puritan and luddite ideologies of the elite inspire them to restrict the resources and technologies that improve middle-class life and help people become more productive, which helps them earn more money and amass more capital.

Thus we have a culture that teaches young people to reject time-tested moral codes that would help them build better lives, instead making clumsy efforts to imitate the debauchery of the elites in ways that lead them to misery and ruin.

And our young people are taught to hate their own ambitions, to hate themselves for desiring lives that have big carbon footprints, to hate and distrust everything that could bring them prosperity and narrow the gap between their lifestyles and those of the elite.

Take a broad look at pop culture, political culture, and increasingly corporate culture as we head into 2021. Almost every bit of it has been crafted to make middle class people abandon their ambitions and program their children to fail... making Mount Olympus ever higher.

And then the political elite will demand even more control over our lives, to "fix" the ever-widening "inequality" gap their own policies and cultural programming made worse!

It's no wonder that some who dwell on the highest slopes of Mount Olympus are tempted to go even further, to indulge in dark appetites that would land lesser men in jail - a temptation that seems especially acute for male members of the extreme upper class.

They reach for the fruit that no other hand could pick, to remind one another that they are gods, even while loudly posturing as champions of socialism, feminism, and the Little Guy. The difference between what they DO and what they SAY is part of the rush.

Yep.  When you come down to it, what really motivates our elites is PRIDE.  The worst sin of all, and the Devil's favorite trap--because it's the one that caught him.

The freedom of the outsider

“If you are a good person, if you are a moral person, if you are a Christian, you are not going to be allowed to succeed in the system past a certain level. It’s just not going to happen. But it’s very, very freeing to know this. You’re not going to get the scholarship. You’re probably not going to get the acceptance. You’re not going to get the interview. So, this means you have the imperative to go out and make things happen on your own. Because here’s the magical thing about it. They can’t create. They cannot create things that are good, beautiful and true. They’re predators and parasites. And so, there’s always going to be a certain amount of room that is granted to people that just do their own thing, or for people who just work outside the system, because that’s where the positive change – the necessary positive change – is going to happen…What we’re dealing with here is a society that is run by the wicked and is run by the hedonists…And so, you can save a lot of time…The beauty of this is that by knowing that you have no chance to succeed within the system, you can give yourself the opportunity to succeed without it. And the fact that you are never going to be given that handout. The fact that you’re never going to get given that fake, pseudo success, means that the success that you achieve will be real. You’ll never have that impostor syndrome that they’re always talking about…And so, you have no chance to succeed in the realm of the wicked but that knowledge frees you to pursue genuine, meaningful and lasting success by pursuing the good, the beautiful and the true.”

--Vox Day

Looks like she struck a nerve.

Short Little Rebel posts a rebuttal to a leftist op-ed.  Within 24 hours, her blog is torpedoed by Wordpress.

Copy, paste and spread this far and wide, if for no other reason than to give the bird to those who would censor us.

I attempted to respond to #MatthewDowd’s op-ed piece in ABC News , online, but for some reason, they kept deleting all my comments.  I have no doubt that this was because I was stating facts that proved his piece ridiculous in every way.  I posted comments complaining about the deletion and they deleted those as well.  Thus, it was clearly not a matter of length or spam or even ‘too many links’, etc.  They simply didn’t like the content.  Thus, I have no recourse but to write my own article and link to theirs.  #MatthewDowd states, in his op-ed,
‘Is he [Trump] responsible for fomenting coarseness, tribalism and hatred in our political discourse that seems to have emboldened the most radical of these white supremacists? Absolutely.”
#MatthewDowd, you base this incredible conclusion on a slippery slope argument, minus any actual ‘facts’ other than what you simply state as true in this ridiculous op ed. You claim that ‘white supremacists’ cheer Trump on with all his policies- proof? Who, when and where? Names and dates? Organizations? Just because individuals go to a Trump rally and also happen to espouse white supremacist values doesn’t mean that Trump created those values in that individual.  They had those values before they came to his rally.  Also, it doesn’t necessarily follow that just because they like Trump, that Trump agrees or is sympathetic toward their ideas.  Nor does it follow that because they like Trump’s ideas that their ideas are aligned in any way.  Their ideas can simply intersect in a small way that is acceptable to the insane person.  By no means does that small intersection then mean that Trump is espousing white supremacist values or supporting white supremacy in any way.  White supremacy is a mental and spiritual illness.  It’s not rational.  But it must find a home in a political platform- just as socialist dictatorship must find a home.  Socialist dictatorships will find their homes in the Liberal Democratic party.  Does that automatically follow that every Democrat with insane Mussolini types in the crowd are now automatically Mussolini?  No.  But you knew that before you wrote this piece.  Or, if you didn’t, then you shouldn’t be writing for ABC.
Furthermore, you state that Trump should apologize.  This implies that Trump is now responsible for the recent spate of shootings- ie, the recent shooting at the Jewish synagogue.   You are a hypocrite, because within this same soppy op ed, you predictably stand up for Islam.  You claim that,
‘In fact, the greatest number of acts of terror over that time has not been by radical Islam, or immigrants or refugees, or antifa, but by white supremacists.’
There are several things wrong with this remarkable claim but let’s address them one by one.  First, the common liberal notion behind your protection of Islam is that while some ‘fringe elements of peaceful Islam have ‘hijacked’ Islam and thrown acid on women’s faces, cut off women’s private parts, blown up the trade towers, murdered thousands of Americans, shot up gay night clubs, shot up our military bases, shot up their office workers, beheaded people in N.J., and performed honor killings here- all in the name of Allah.. they don’t represent the ‘true religion’ of Islam and thus, you can’t blame Islam, correct? And yet, you turn right around in this lazy, illogical piece and say,
“The best leaders at times like this give people a sense of hope and a vision of the promised land. They are unifying and don’t look for enemies or particular demographic groups to blame. They appeal to inherent values we all feel and want in this world by hopeful language and policy guided by reality and not false promises.”
You dare to tell Trump not to blame the news or Obama or the Democrats or even the individual who shot up the synagogue for the crimes that are committed.  You don’t blame Islam for the individuals who murder in its name.   Yet, YOU blame the entire hate group, white supremacists, for ONE man’s actions.  Even though neither the Aryan nation, nor any other white supremacist group has claimed responsibility for any of the shootings done by any of the killers who killed anyone under Trump’s’ presidency!!!  Even though ISLAM and the religious groups that serve it PROUDLY claim responsibility for ALL the killings done by its followers who scream, ‘Allahu Akbar!’ as they tear our buildings down and shoot up our unarmed soldiers at Ft. Hood.    Islam, which preaches death, destruction, murder, honor killings of women, etc FROM THE PULPIT gets a free pass from you? YOU also personally blame Trump for something that he didn’t do. HE didn’t pull the trigger on that gun or form the KKK, which existed generations before he was ever born.
WHO is the hypocrite here? For someone telling the president not to play the blame game, you sure play it expertly.
Let’s now evaluate your so-called ‘facts’ where you state that, “he greatest number of acts of terror over that time has not been by radical Islam, or immigrants or refugees, or antifa, but by white supremacists” over the last two years.  I just checked on the number of RACE RIOTS between Jan 1, 2009 to present in the United States and do you know how many occured under Obama in the name of RACE that were instigated by DEMOCRATS? ELEVEN (not counting the predictable MAYDAY riot).   Within these race riots were murders, knifings and beatings, along with property damages amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars- all in the name of political change.  This could easily fit into the definition of ‘terror’.
Know how many race riots have occured under Trump? TWO (not counting the predictable MAYDAY riot).
Know how many race riots there were in the eight years BEFORE Obama? TWO.
Know how many race riots (addressing Black American concerns) there were in the eight years before that? TWO
Conclusion: Obama started the modern rash of Black riots in America.  I lived those years and remember feeling that exact thing- it was under Obama that race relations soured horribly in America- before that, we had peace and tranquility between races- it was HIM and his rhetoric that made things horrible.  And now, Obama and his illegal ‘presidential war chest’ he collected during his second term is funding the media and social media war to continue the race baiting to further deteriorate race relations in this nation.  It’s not Trump who began this problem, the STATS and FACTS demonstrate that it was OBAMA.
Know how many riots were STARTED by liberal democrats IN THE NAME of political change, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to private property, stabbings, shootings, death and injuries from Obama’s inauguration to today? (that meets the definition of terrorism, by the way)? THIRTY.
Know how many were STARTED by ANY conservative group, let alone skinheads or white supremacists? ONE. And that was the 2016 Occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, which wasn’t actually a riot. No one was killed except one person, shot in the back by federal agents, occupying the refuge. No loss of private or public property was incurred.
Thus, every riot since Obama, except two, from Jan 1, 2009 to today was STARTED by progressive democrat liberals. The only one (not including Malheur) not started explicitly by a liberal organization is the 2010 Springfest riot at James Madison University which was a wild party gone wrong.
In my mind, this includes the 2017 Unite the Right white supremacist rallies that would have gone unnoticed had the progressive liberals not decided to counterprotest OUTSIDE their permit boundaries and into the white supremacist permit boundaries.  As usual, the liberals used pushing, shoving, yelling and violence directly in the physical faces of the rightful permit holders for that area. The predictable result: violence. The permit holders for the allegedly peaceful counterprotest was supposed to be blocks away from the white supremacists. Past and recent experience with white supremacist rallies has proven that they are poorly attended and laughable.  This points to the real reason that liberals decided to rally- at two locations- in 2017- they knew that part of the white supremacist rally would be attended by legitimate protestors who sincerely didn’t want the removal of the Confederate monuments.  They were hoping for chaos and confusion to obfuscate the entire legitimate protest.  They largely succeeded.  They haven’t bothered counter protesting any white supremacist rallies since- just as they didn’t bother counter protesting before 2017.  The recent white supremacist rallies were once again laughably unattended.
Absolutely ZERO riots have been initiated, endorsed or claimed by a single Christian organization.
Don’t believe me for any of these REAL FACTS? Here’s the well known progressive liberal leaning wikipedia link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_incidents_of_civil_unrest_in_the_United_States#2010%E2%80%932018
#Blacklivesmatter was created in 2013, UNDER OBAMA. This is one the most extreme race baiting organizations in American Relationships. #Blacklivesmatter and the protests under its name have results in hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars of damages to private property.  Rallies and riots in its name have resulted in knifings, beatings, and killings.  What would happen if we created a #WhiteLivesMatter group that made racists statements equal to that group? We’d have riots on our streets for sure. And private businesses would pay the same price they paid under Obama’s leadership.
Before we move forward to examine statistics over the next two years concerning ‘terrorist’ attacks in the United States, let us define ‘terrorist attack’:
“Under current United States law, set forth in the USA PATRIOT Act, acts of domestic terrorism are those which: “(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State; (B) appear to be intended – (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.”^{[2] [3] [4]}
Thus, no mere criminal act of an individual can be considered a ‘terrorist attack’.  There must be a political motivation behind the attack that wishes to coerce our People or nation to DO something as a result of their action.  Let’s be very clear about that.  #MatthewDowd has not been clear about that and that is why his alleged ‘data’ is invalid.  If his alleged ‘data’ is invalid, his argument falls down like a flimsy deck of cards.
Let’s now evaluate the number of Islamic terror attacks versus the number of white supremacist terror attacks over the last two years.  First, you didn’t address the locale of your statements. If the local is the world, then your statement is a pure joke no matter how you cut the cake. The sheer number of people murdered worldwide by Islamic terrorism can be found here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks.
If you are too frightened to look at this link, suffice it to say that there are almost too many to count.
The number of domestic Right Wing White Supremacist Terror attacks in the last two years under Trump’s administration is ZERO. No white supremacist group has claimed any responsibility for any violent action in the name of advocating for political change in America. No murders of innocent children, women, old people or any other vulnerable population was murdered to achieve a political end.  Here is that link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_terrorism_in_the_United_States
Furthermore, how fair is it to say that just because our FBI, police and CIA are doing such an incredible job PREVENTING Islamic terror on our home soil that Islamic terror is less dangerous than white supremacist ‘terror’?    Know how many Islamic terror attacks that the FBI, alone, has prevented over the last two years- that we know about?  EIGHTY!
They can be found at the following FBI locations:

This doesn’t count any of the Islamic threats prevented by the CIA or any local, state or federal police agencies.
While we’re at it, can we talk about the Domestic and world terrorism caused by liberal, progressive eco-terrorists and animal rights terrorists?  Here’s just a list of American based groups:
Sea Shepherd– responsible for firebombing, ramming and sinking vessels at sea, causing billions in damages, injuries to people and death.
Animal Liberation Front
Earth liberation Front
Green Peace
Earth First
Coalition to Save the Preserves
Hardesty Avengers
Wikipedia states, “In 2008 the Federal Bureau of Investigation said eco-terrorists represented “one of the most serious domestic terrorism threats in the U.S. today” citing the sheer volume of their crimes (over 2,000 since 1979); the huge economic impact (losses of more than US$110 million since 1979); the wide range of victims (from international corporations to lumber companies to animal testing facilities to genetic research firms); and their increasingly violent rhetoric and tactics (one recent communiqué sent to a California product testing company said: “You might be able to protect your buildings, but can you protect the homes of every employee?”)
These LIBERAL DEMOCRAT VOTING ECOTERRORISTS exact more private destruction, loss of life, and mayhem than any skinhead group in America, exponentially.  Individuals who happen to espouse hateful ideologies have committed crimes, on their own, but they represent themselves.  That is not ‘terror’.  These eco-groups are terrorist organizations.  And they are liberals.
——————————————-

Those are the REAL FACTS, not some wishy washy fantasy of a liberal op ed writer.
#MatthewDowd attempts to mix mere crime into his alleged stats when he makes his arguments about ‘white supremacy versus Islam, antifa, etc’ types of terror.  However, the moment we begin including CRIME incidents as ‘terror’ incidents, any kind of statistics can be gathered to make bogus comparisons for manipulative op ed pieces like this one. ‘Terror’ has a particular political definition. While reprehensible as a hate group, no white supremacist group has committed an act of terror while Trump has been president. And that, my friends is a fact. There have been many individuals of all sorts that have murdered others in our nation, however. Some have beliefs that align with white supremacy- but then again, there are black Americans who beat up, stab, steal from, and destroy the lives of white people all the time in America merely because they are white. Who remembers the game, ‘Sucker Punch’? How about all the Korean stores that have been attacked by black gang members in California that have been racially motivated? How about race oriented gangs that murder one another- simply because they are hispanic, black, Italian or skinhead? None of these are ‘terror’- but if one wishes to, one could begin manipulating numbers and definitions to suit just about anything they wanted to. ‘Terror’ is political. Honesty is critical if you want to have a real discussion. This op ed is garbage because it is dishonest.
How about Eric Holder’s statement, “Michelle [Obama] always says ‘When they go low, we go high,'” Holder told the crowd. “No. No. When they go low, we kick them.” Holder served closely with Obama during both tenures.
How about Maxine Waters’ call for mob action against Trump supporters, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up,” Waters told a crowd in California over the weekend. “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.” This resulted in the immediate attacks on individuals wearing MAGA hats in restaurants and students in high schools. Obama supports Waters and vice versa.  If a white senator made the same call for mob action, it would have resulted in the entire media equating it to calls for ‘black lynchings’.
How about Obama’s 20 year relationship with “GodDamn America”-Caucasian-hating Reverend Wright, whom Obama credits for most of his current beliefs in his first book, ” of my Father.”  According to Scott Paulson of CBS,
‘He very powerfully wrote that during his first experience as part of a Reverend Wright church service, he wept. A child next to him, he wrote, had handed him a tissue to dry the tears streaming down his cheeks.
Obama did hear Reverend Wright, and he emotionally reacted to him.
More than simply react to Wright’s words, he embraced them. Obama remembered the name of the first sermon he ever heard Reverend Wright preach and even titled a book after the name of that first Wright sermon: The Audacity of Hope.”
This is the same Jeremiah Wright that officiated the Obama’s wedding and all their children’s baptisms. The same Jeremiah Wright whom Obama knew for over 25 years. The same Reverend Wright whose racist, anti-Semitic sermons Obama listened to for over 25 years and whom he appointed in 2007 to his prestigious African American Religious Leadership Committee. The same Jeremiah Wright whom he suddenly denounced, to Wright’s public scorn, when the public was outraged by his bigoted, anti-American views.
No mention of any of THIS in #MatthewDowd’s flimsy Op Ed, right? It’s just all Trump’s fault, right? Trump is responsible for all the bad race relationships in America, right?Memories are very short, but liberal media manipulative rhetoric are long.
Opinion pieces like this are hoping that YOU don’t bother to either recall our nation’s history, our constitution, or bother to any analysis or research into their statements. They also hope they can whip up enough of your emotions while you are tired after a hard day of work, trying to scrape by for your family, after reporting lots of shootings around the nation. They are manipulating you for a REASON. You need to THINK about WHY they want to take away the rights of the most eligible fighting age men and women in our nation’s ability to own firearms. (ie, 18- 21 year olds) You need to THINK about why they want to take away the #1 ability of our People to frighten our government enough from ever thinking about using that incredible military of ours on US. (through raising of militia BEFORE the desperate need arises). You need to think about why they want to take away our best chance at leadership should the People have to rise up against any attempt at some dictator who tries to suspend our constitution and use the military against the People. How can they do that, you ask? Simple- by saying that people with ‘mental illness’ can’t own a firearm. That discounts almost all ex military and police who have ever served in our nation- most of whom have some sort of depression or anxiety. THAT qualifies as ‘mental illness’, which is much too broad of a definition.
Ultimately, you need to know your HISTORY. Our founding fathers’ greatest concern when they gave the People the 2nd Amendment was not to protect their homes- it was to rise up against their government. They had experienced the tyranny of kings using the federal military against the People and using the law to forbid the People to own arms. They knew, first hand, what the result of such tyranny was. If Americans, in their comfort, give up this incredible privilege, they WILL face desperate dictatorship. It isn’t a question of ‘if’, but ‘when’. Men haven’t changed. We haven’t evolved. We are the same. The ONLY reason we are free as a People is our Constitution and the laws enshrined therein. The evil men in our nation have been constrained by the limits of it for generations- and it frustrates the hell out of them. That is WHY they have been trying, like hell, to create any environment, any situation, any conspiracy, anything construct possible to CONVINCE the People to simply vote away that noble document. And they have almost succeeded.
People often laugh when I pose the notion that this sudden rash of shootings might not be coincidental on the eve of midterms and the amazing number of states who will be voting on 2nd Amendment issues. High ranking military officers & politicians discuss acceptable death counts and collateral damages in war strategies. For some, it’s as easy as discussing the menu for lunch. These types of men don’t see the people who die. They only see the prize at the end. If hundreds of thousands are ‘acceptable damages’ (think about the decision making for Hiroshima which had a population of 350,000 at the time of the bombing), then why not 10 at that school, 12 at that synagog, 5 at that restaurant and 30 at that bar? This would be absolutely nothing. They would sleep like babies and enjoy their drinks and cigars when the deeds were done.
What would it really take, after all? An institution headed and staffed by evil minded psychologists and psychiatrists with an intent to manipulate and control weak and vulnerable minds. A place that could select individuals who could be threatened or coerced into doing whatever they wanted. A place to ‘treat’ troubled teens. Or a place to organize several locations throughout the nation. How much money would really be needed? And aren’t there enough wealthy people to make this happen? Consider the payoff. When I consider it and the possible pay off for evil minded people, I say, “Why not?” People will do pretty much anything if it is feasible for them to get something in their own lifetime. If they aren’t guided by any sort of fear of God, then this life is all they care about.
There are people who are ideologically opposed to our Constitution and the idea of individual freedoms, Friends. And they live right here in America. This has always been so. If you will read your history, they existed during the founding of our nation. Indeed, some of our founding fathers even opposed it. They came around, but reluctantly. Please don’t be naive. Don’t be a pawn. Don’t think either party are the ‘good guys’. Neither are. The only good guys are The People. THAT is what the Founding Fathers ultimately believed in. That is why the Preamble to the Constitution begins with “We, the People…” It’s Us vs. the Government and always has been. Always vote for Us. Never the Government. The day you learn that is the day you are a true American.

I don't think I'd be opposed.

"Just try this on for size, His Majesty, Donald of House Trump, the First of his name, builder of walls, defender of borders, expeller of invaders. Has a nice ring to it I think."

From the comments on this post at Vox Popoli, which references this article:

Trump has, from the start of his presidency, surrounded himself by generals and high ranking military personnel.  He has given in to their demands even when in strict opposition to his voter base’s opinion. His spending budget was riddled with Democrat concessions in favor of remarkable military spending. In nearly all of his speeches he’s praised his soldiers and even suggested an American military parade.   This is likely why Q believes Trump is completely untouchable by Mueller’s highly biased quest to ignite a Trump impeachment, as indicated in many of his posts.

It is without question that America’s deep state will go full throttle to attempt to sabotage the Trump presidency before their crimes are unearthed and prosecuted.  We now know that Obama had spies inside Trump’s campaign, had FBI agents offering his colleagues damaging information on Hillary on behalf of Russia, and had baited a “Russian Collusion” setup in the strange event that he would win.  Whether or not Trump actually committed any crimes during his campaign is insignificant: Mueller is going to attempt to set the stage for an impeachment vote, and the media will throw everything they have at the public to get them to consider.  If this fails, they will use all of the media weapons at their disposal to grow a public uprising to try to force Trump out of power while rogue intelligence agents (now removed) will try to sabotage any investigations that may deter this.

But through this gamble, they have inadvertently cleared the path for Trump to garner the public support he needs to overthrow the constitution and seize full authoritarian control of America.  He has already successfully (and thankfully) dismantled the public’s trust of the mainstream media by proving their complete corruption.  This is step two of overthrowing any democracy, with step one being garnering control of the military (which Trump appears to already have done).  To complete the transition, he needs to either attain control of or dismantle the judicial branch.  With the unprecedented Democrat stonewalling on all of his judicial appointees, the former may not be possible. But with the massive failures of all intelligence agencies and the years of DOJ failures to prosecute criminal swamp creatures, there is a growing consensus that our judicial system is broken beyond repair.  Should evidence arrive that the DOJ was compromised; the stage will be set for Trump to conquer.

Honestly, I do believe that President Trump does intend to return America to its roots:  The Constitution as written, the rule of law restored, the ideals of the Founders made manifest.  But let's say he doesn't.  Let's say that he does intend to install himself as Emperor Trump I.

So what?  Someone was going to step into that spot.  The way things have been going in this country, it was inevitable.

Let's imagine the Emperor's Mansion.  Previous administrations all the way back to Lincoln have been surveying the property, clearing the land and building an access road.  Reagan called a halt to the plan, requiring permits and deeds, but then construction started again.  Bush I laid the foundation.  Clinton ran the plumbing and electrical.  Bush II, after 9/11, put up the framing and trusses.  Under Obama, it was 24/7 overtime.  By the time 2016 came around, the drywall was hung, the flooring was laid, the walls were painted and the place was ready for occupancy.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the realtor's office.  Some real estate baron from New York bought the place right out from under those who thought they had it locked in.

If he chooses to leave it vacant, he'll keep out trespassers and squatters.  If he moves in, I can think of far worse neighbors.   At least we know he'll take care of the property.

If President Trump becomes Emperor Trump I, well, so be it.  If we had stuck to our Founders' principles, enforced the rule of law and followed the Constitution, it never would have come to that point.  But we haven't, which means our Great Experiment will either be saved by one man, or proven to be an abject failure by that same man.  Either way, I'm not really seeing a downside--at least the truth will out and things will be solved once and for all.

By all means, Mrs. Clinton--please continue!!

First and foremost, I want to make one thing perfectly clear:  If Hillary Clinton ever comes to what remains of her senses, repents of her sins, and accepts Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, I will be the first to rejoice in that.  For the Lord is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."  (Yes, this includes even the most corrupt and evil among us, for in His sight, we have all greatly offended.  It's simply a matter of degree.)  I do not think that this is likely, but with God, all things are possible.

That would be the best thing that could happen.

The second best thing that could happen, would be for HRC to go right on doing what she's doing.  Keep doubling down, Hillary!  Turn it up to 11!  Have another Chardonnay and let those deplorable redneck scum have it with both barrels every time you open your mouth!

Man, when even hardline Democrats(who have gone beyond blue, through indigo, and are now somewhere in a spectrum of ultrablue which is invisible to anything except possibly mantis shrimp), including your own former campaign manager, wish like hell you'd shut up and go away...you really have to be Amy-Winehouse-Level committed to self-destruction.  As much as I admire singleminded persistence and determination, you might have wanted to pick a better goal.

But if this is the path you wish to take, Ma'am, us "Deplorables" couldn't be more pleased with the results.  Keep right on keepin' on with that.  Expose yourself as the shrill, bitter, angry, drunken, doddering, corrupt mess we always knew you to be, in a way that makes even some Democrats think "Well, I still hate Trump, but it really could have been worse."

And the next time some smug Leftist steps to us with an utterly unwarranted air of intellectual superiority, courtesy of the Dunning-Kruger effect, we'll simply observe that, if they'd gotten their way, you--who have become basically a walking dumpster fire that even the Left is having trouble making excuses for--would have been Leader of the Free World.  Therefore, their judgement is, to say the least, suspect.

Whether you sit down and shut up, or continue on your present course, we win either way.

A lot can happen in 18 months...

Some of you might remember this post from August 2015.  I was convinced that Hillary was going to be elected.  I figured we were doomed.  I thought that even if Trump were serious, he could do nothing against the entrenched globalist machine.

I have never been so happy to be completely, utterly wrong.

President Donald J. Trump came in with guns blazing.  He's shown us that he's deadly serious about Making America Great Again, and he'll do whatever it takes to accomplish that mission.  The Left is going absolutely guano* and showing everyone what they've always been--a bunch of spoiled children willing to destroy anything and everything that stands in the way of their agenda of ultimate power and control.  The Cocktail Party GOP establishment are soiling themselves in terror.  And normal Americans?  We're delirious with joy at finally having someone in the White House who's ON OUR SIDE--something that hasn't been seen since Ronald Reagan.

It isn't over.  Not by a long shot.  But we now have something I thought we'd lost forever.

We have a chance.



*I figure this is a more polite term than 'batshit.'

So, there's this one guy...

I'm going to say a few things here that may be cryptic to some of my readers.  If you don't get it, don't worry about it.

I've always had a funny feeling about this person.  He claims to be a Patriot, but there always seemed something suspicious about him.  I couldn't quite put my finger on it, however, and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.  Being a Christian, and trying to be a man of honor, I do not want to bear false witness, even mistakenly.  So I'll just post my observations here and let you draw your own conclusions.

This man runs a blog on Blogger--a public and unsecured site.

He associates with a known con man who claims to be a "chaplain," even though this 'reformed' con man was cold busted running a con mere days after he claimed to have come to Christ(Hell is REALLY unpleasant, buddy, and it lasts FOREVER).

He's posted a number of polls asking questions like "How well trained are you?"  "Do you have military experience?"  "Are you a team or a lone wolf?"  "How many Patriots in your AO?"  "How quick can you muster?"  On Blogger--a public and unsecured site.  This is intel that does not need to be shared online.

No matter how good you think you are at IT security, the Forces of Evil are better.  The instant you answer those questions, they know immediately who you are, where you are and what you said.  Only a truly stupid man would do that, and--as you can tell from this man's writing--he is not stupid.

Just sayin'...

Desert island punditry

Commentators, pundits and political junkies across the nation and around the world are dissin' on The Donald pretty much nonstop.  They can't understand why so many people support him.  In the case of folks like Matt Walsh, they're positively angry that the Trumpsters supposedly 'aren't taking the political process seriously.'

I love ya, Matt, but that's like saying we're not taking a Monty Python movie seriously.  "I would have liked to think that conservatives wouldn’t fall for the Obama Cult of Personality shtick, but they have."  Dude, for real?  Is that what you think this is about?  Not even close.

I might point out that Mr. Trump has actually built a successful business empire by creating products and services that people wanted to buy, not by force, graft and shadowy donations.  I might point out that Mr. Trump doesn't really care what the Mushroom Media thinks of him, and is actually capable of breaking wind without consulting 27 polls first.  I might point out that Mr. Trump is seen as something new and different in an era of worn-out sequels like 'Clinton On K Street II' and 'Night Of The Living Bush III.'  I'm certain that these things are important to some of the Trumpsters, but I feel safe in saying that many of them don't really care about any of this.

We've simply recognized reality:  The American political process is corrupt to the core.  It's nothing but a dog-and-pony show, and we're NOT voting our way out of this.  PERIOD(no debate pun intended).   Let me illustrate in pictures, for those of you who don't quite get it:

And we've basically given up on folks like yourselves who still cling to this farce.  You remind us of the Japanese soldiers they kept finding on desert islands all the way up into the 21st Century, still fighting World War II, absolutely certain that the Land of the Rising Sun would never surrender to a bunch of round-eyed barbarians.  Even if Mr. Trump--or whoever wins--turns out to be the Second Coming of Ronald Reagan, it's too late.  It is now both culturally and mathematically impossible to reverse this kamikaze dive we're in.  Short of a miracle straight from the Lord our God, it can't be done. And considering our actions over the past couple of generations, He damn sure doesn't owe us any favors.

The war for liberty in America is over.  We lost.  All we can do now is accelerate the collapse and prepare to come out fighting on the other side.  And in the meantime, if we can enjoy the spectacle of Statist Party D, Statist Party R and the Mushroom Media all losing their tiny little minds over being told that at least one person simply doesn't give a fart in a windstorm what they think, that's pretty awesome.  If we'd had more of that attitude over the past few decades, America might have survived.

In the meantime, let it burn and pass the marshmallows.

The founder's views on the 3%

This sort of empty "empire building" was one thing that made the 90s so problematic for the constitutional militia movement, and why I deliberately formulated the Three Percent idea as a movement, an idea, a philosophy and a discipline BUT NOT AN ORGANIZATION. Attempts at large regional, state or national organizations, anything beyond local formations, are subject to infiltration, dysfunction, discredit and collapse. Anyone who tells you different is selling something.

Just sayin'... 

OW! Beer in sinuses...

I was quoting part of this post to Mrs Wraith:

Me:   "Personally, I’d like to divide them into two teams and put them on “Hell’s Kitchen,” because that would tell us more about them than a bunch of “debates,” which are really nothing more than interviews with scripted questions and scanned answers."

Mrs. Wraith:  But can you imagine their risotto?  Ew.

And this is why I married her.  :)

Tinfoil hat radical craziness...

...or, as it used to be called, "self-evident truth."

If you wish to salvage America, if it is to be done at all, the only answer is to restore in law and in fact the philosophy that holds man as his own rightful property, and his life and his liberties as the material implementation of that fact.  Please do not bother about statist notions of “obligations” or “responsibilities” of free men.  The only actual, logical “obligation” of a free man is to respect those same rights among other men, and his only collectivized “responsibility” is to pay for the upholding of those rights among all men.  This is the sole justification of governments, and it is the sole reason that any form of taxation is logically (and morally) permissible.  This means a court system, to resolve disputes among men; a policing mechanism, to apprehend those who violate the rights of men; a national defense to protect against massive attacks on the rights of men.  Deprived of the ability to use the power of the state as a gun aimed at the heads of other men in the name of their own peculiar interests, with the threat of a watchful state waiting to punish such aggressors, men must deal with one another by volitional means, i.e., “free trade” or “commerce.”

RTWT.  Whatever cause our soldiers were sent to fight and die for over the centuries, it wasn't to defend the country we live in now.  This is not the America they swore their lives to, and I increasingly despair of its ever returning.

God help us.
