The “Legal” Presidential Election

 

The “Legal” Presidential Election

 

Increasingly, public opinion rules in this country, and public opinion is the result of the extremely biased left-wing broadcast and print media, and more and more of the big leftist West Coast tech giants and their algorithms acting as diverters and censors. The courts, the legislatures, and our executive seem to be inept echoes of public opinion. Our culture, our history, the very foundations of our country are changing from “one nation under God”, to a Godless, lawless, secular socialism.

 Now that the whole world is denouncing the actions of a few criminal elements who rioted and broke into the capitol building last Wednesday, January 6, and is associating this action to a speech that President Trump made earlier in the day, it is easy to lose perspective, and paint all of the 74 million people who voted for Trump with the same brush. Trump’s speech was about stealing the election, and demonstrating at the capitol in a peaceful and lawful manner.  Of course, our dishonest media left out this last part about being peaceful and lawful, and the speech itself has been taken down, so we can only read about the biased media’s propagandized version of it.

 All of a sudden, concerns about the rule changes, procedures and legality of the election are longer questioned.  After all, a few right-wing kooks broke into the capitol, caused some mayhem, and this illegal activity is representative of the whole movement to question the legality of the election.  Heard over and over in the public opinion formed by the media propagandists and censors, is that the election was completely legal and free from fraud, and we’d better accept it and stop making noise about it.  The fact that a bunch of redneck right-wingers broke into the capitol proves it.

 But we should not forget the very valid points made by great numbers of both republicans and democrats about the legality of the election.  These points exist whether or not the courts adjudicated them.

 Various rule changes were rammed through before the 2020 presidential election by biased state courts in the swing states, rather than by state legislatures as defined in the federal constitution.  These apparently illicit rulings have resulted in election abuses, illegal actions, fraud and ballot seeding, both manually and by voting hardware/software, such that massive numbers of illegal votes were awarded to Joe Biden.  Early attempts to uphold State legislative hegemony over election rules rather than the executive or judiciary, have proven unsuccessful, all the way to SCOTUS,

 President Trump’s legal teams have disputed practices and results in several key states, and claimed chicanery and fraud, accumulating whistleblower testimony and myriad affidavits to that effect.  The state and circuit courts (some of whom passed the originally unconstitutional rule changes), so far have considered Trump’s cases anecdotal or too late, and claimed that an insufficient number of votes were affected to reverse the projected results showing Biden to be the winner.

 This summarizes the main points of the Trump challenge:

 Popular Vote totals in recent years

Obama 2008               69,499,428

Obama 2012               65,918,507

Trump 2016               62,985,153

Hillary 2016               65,853,677

Biden 2020                80,074,510 ??

Trump 2020               73,861,985

 How could Biden, sitting in his basement for most of the campaign, receive 14-18 million more votes than Barrack Obama did in his two victorious years?

 House seats:  How could the republicans have picked up upwards of 10 house seats, most of the contested state houses and legislatures, and lost the presidency?

 How could Trump’s massive support in the primary vote not get translated into an election win, as in all previous elections?

 How could Biden underperform Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia, and in those big cities in swing states run by Democrats, alter the election in favor of Biden?

 How could Trump have been leading by hundreds of thousands of votes at around midnight of election night, and lose in six primarily democratically run states as ballots were dumped through the night?

 Why were legal republican poll watchers turned away in big city democrat precincts?

 Why were legal voters turned away on election day and told that they had already voted by mail?

 Why did so many dead people and out of state people vote?

 Why did more people vote than were registered in many democrat run large cities in swing states?

 Why are not the whistleblowers that have come forth not been taken at least as seriously as the anonymous whistleblower that was held so inviolable and resulted in a presidential impeachment?  There are many signed affidavits by eyewitness whistleblowers claiming a slew of illegal and fraudulent practices.

 To summarize, “the fix was in” by the democrats long before the election.  As result of unconstitutional rule changes in many democrat run states allowing all manner of illegal votes to be counted without proof of identity (dead people, out of state people, people voting multiple times) votes against Trump burgeoned.  As Trump and many of his followers claimed, the democrats stole the election.  It cannot be proven.  And, the democrats got away with it.  Of course, any attempt to voice these opinions after the break-in at capitol are met with derision and hoot-calls of “right wing kook”.

 That’s how public opinion works.  Its twisted all out of any semblance of truth by media propaganda and censorship, and punctuated by a few idiots that broke into the capitol, and did irreparably more harm that just defiling Nancy Pelosi’s desk.

The Most Hated President

 

The Most Hated President

The raw, unbridled hatred for the man and what he stands for exceeds all rational political philosophies. The hatred for President Trump is irrational and almost palpable. Hating the man himself is somewhat understandable. He is a flamboyant, egotistical, narcissistic New York real estate developer. His personal pronouncements and tweets have been sometimes raw and insulting. He is a “boss”. He does not normally evoke “warm, fuzzy feelings”. That is Donald Trump, the man, himself.

What Trump stands for is a populism that is anathema to the established political administrative order of the Washington, DC bureaucracy. Trump is an American patriot, at a time where patriotism is falsely equated with stale and outdated philosophies created 250 years ago by slave-owning white men, to the exclusion of nonwhites and women. What the critics of our founders fail to acknowledge is the resilience that those white folks embedded in our system, which has provided for enfranchisement and equal rights and opportunities for all Americans, including minorities, women and the LGBTQ+ community. This is what Trump really believes – that all Americans are created equal under God, not arbitrarily placed into identity politics “boxes” for further reward or condemnation.

Trump has also fostered “America First”, and American exceptionalism and hegemony among the nations of the world, rather than bowing to, and accepting a subservient or gullible role in the community of nations. He has worked to identify and redress economic and political inequities where the U.S. had been a ‘sucker” in international dealings. This has many times been to the consternation of special interests that were profiting from prior arrangements. He has avoided wars, decreased our military overseas and established a Middle East peace initiative which conventional diplomacy considered impossible.

Domestically, Trump is pro-law enforcement and pro-police at a time that anarchy, riots and civic disorder are increasingly tolerated by democrat run cities and states, and “defund the police” movements are common. Acknowledged Marxist movements like Antifa and “Black Lives Matter” have destroyed large swaths of democrat run cities in defiance of any civilized mores. Obviously, these Marxist forces have no love for Trump, the American patriot, and do everything they can to denigrate all that he proposes or does. On the abortion issue, Trump is pro-life, which further exacerbates the enmity of the left

And then there’s the corona virus. Trump’s actions were within our federalist system, but they have been criticized for not being dictatorial or centralized enough. Imagine the opprobrium if he were more dictatorial. Trump’s Immediate shutdown of travel to China and Europe early on saved countless lives. His “warp speed” vaccine initiative will have saved countless many more lives. Yet his enemies, including the ridiculously biased media, blamed him for the pandemic and for loss of American lives. The gullible American public believed this nonsense, and this was one factor in him losing the presidency in the 2020 election.

President Trump “lost” the election, even though 74 million people voted for him. Many Americans think that the election was stolen by the democrats by unconstitutional state election rule changes, ballot dumping and harvesting, media censorship about the Bidens just prior to the election, and other election chicanery and illegalities. Whistleblower testimony, video clips and other evidence has been discounted by the courts, including the Supreme Court, on procedural grounds. The consensus is that the leftists “cooked the books”, stole the election, and got away with it.

This past Wednesday, angry protestors illegally stormed and broke into the capitol building while electoral college votes were being counted by the congress. This mob violence was, of course blamed on Trump’s earlier rhetoric about reversing the electoral vote. Calls by the leftists immediately went up for Trump to be “thrown out of office”, imposing the 25th amendment, and (another) impeachment.

What President Trump has endured during his (first) four years in office would make an almost unbelievable work of fiction. And all of this was occurring while he was accomplishing more in four years, for all Americans than other presidents do in eight.

First, immediate calls by the leftists and their media accomplices, for the 25th amendment and impeachment even before he was inaugurated. Then charges that he was a Russian agent, and was elected with Russian collusion, coupled with a “perjury trap” for National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and other Trump aides. The pornographic “Russian Dossier”, eventually found to be paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The $40 million Mueller special prosecutor investigation into Russian collusion, which found none.

The Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page FBI/administrative state collusions, the unbelievable “star chamber” impeachment over a foreign phone call. The corona virus, and attempts to blame President Trump for the virus and the loss of lives. Biased print, broadcast and social media algorithms, lies, innuendoes and censorship. And finally, for his fight against the stolen election, another call for the 25th amendment and impeachment in his last days in office.

The democrat-socialists coming to power (just barely), in early 2021 finally got rid of the “nasty big orange monster” who, with his patriotism, was such a detriment to their continuing cultural and political makeover of the country in the image of Venezuela. Rather than a hated, strong, ebullient president in office, let’s see what damage a senile, old slug and political hack and his Obama-style minions can do.

President Trump a Racist?

 

President Trump a Racist?

 President Trump has been falsely accused of being a "racist" so many times by his political and media enemies, that the public, who watches the leftist propaganda channels, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and reads the even more biased New York Times and Washington Post, has been brainwashed to accept that he is indeed a racist. Of course, this is all based on anecdotal, out of context quotes attributed to Trump that "prove" his racism. Detractors never report on what Trump has actually done for the minority communities.

Let's just put this nonsense about President Trump being a racist to rest. This is a list of what he has done for minorities during his term in office, compared to the great "Saint Obama". A little long, but in truth, Trump has really done a lot for American minorities. Remember, these are things that Trump has actually done; not promises made at election time and forgotten until the next election, which is a leftist tactic.

This is a true view of Trump's "racism". You'll never see this reported in the New York Times or in any leftist media outlet. But it is worthwhile to actually see the truth in print.

"Trump vs Obama in Who’s Done More for Blacks, By Kevin Jackson

-October 22, 2020

I DARE Leftists to put President Trump’s accomplishments for Blacks against that of Barack Obama.

Obama’s record of achievement for Blacks should embarrass Leftists. They are just too stupid to realize it. When asked years ago what Obama had done for Blacks, Valerie Jarrett actually mentioned these three things: Obamacare, getting lighter sentencing for crack cocaine, and the growth of welfare.

With Obamacare, Jarrett saw the legislation as reparations for Blacks. The idea was that most Blacks wouldn’t need to use the insurance, but would get the roughly $3,000 stipend.

Regarding welfare, Jarrett celebrated the idea that Blacks were out of work but Obama had provided the safety net of chump change.

Finally, while crack users got harsher sentences than those caught with coke, I still find the idea of Blacks being crackheads demeaning. Most Blacks don’t use crack. So how did this impact us enough to actually brag about it as something that benefitted Blacks as a whole. To benefit Blacks as a whole requires the average Black person benefitting, not just crackheads.

And if we’ve learned anything from Hunter Biden, it’s that Blacks aren’t the only crackheads. Now let’s compare.

President Trump’s Historic Accomplishments for the Black Community

“We are lifting up citizens of every race, color, religion, and creed. And we are delivering a future of fairness, justice, and dignity. We are defending our values, our principles, and our way of life.”

– President Donald Trump

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

President Trump is working to build the most inclusive economy in American history and provide Black community with access to the American dream.

Black American employment has increased 1.3 million in the past 5 months. This represents the recovery of roughly 4 in 10 Black American jobs lost in the pandemic.

It took the previous Administration nearly 2 years (23 months) to recover the same share of Black American employment lost in the 2008-09 recession.

President Trump created the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council to provide additional federal support for distressed communities.

Through the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, the Trump Administration has already taken over 200 actions to benefit underserved communities.

Then, President Trump signed legislation creating Opportunity Zones, providing investment opportunities in nearly 9,000 economically distressed communities across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five territories.

As of the end of 2019, Opportunity Zones have attracted $75 billion in funds and driven $52 billion of new investment in economically distressed communities.

These investments have created at least 500,000 new jobs.

Approximately one million Americans will be lifted from poverty as a result of these new investments.

Private equity investments into businesses in Opportunity Zones were nearly 30% higher than investments into businesses in similar areas that were not designated Opportunity Zones.

Alone, an Opportunity Zone designation has increased property values within them by 1.1%.

This will provide an estimated $11 billion in new wealth for the nearly half of Opportunity Zone residents who own their own homes.

According to the most recent Census survey, the homeownership rate for black households increased 2.3 percentage points from 2016 to 2019, bringing it from three-decade lows.

President Trump is committed to supporting America’s minority-owned businesses.

The President has worked tirelessly to remove unnecessary and burdensome regulations that hinder small business growth.

The Administration, through the Minority Business Development Agency (MDBA), has helped facilitate billions of dollars in funding to support minority enterprises.

President Trump signed legislation providing $60 billion in loans under the Paycheck Protection Program targeted to support minority and disadvantaged communities.

The President promised in September 2020 to create 3 million jobs for the Black community, 500,000 new black-owned businesses, and increase access to capital in black communities by $500 billion.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM

President Trump has worked to create a fairer justice system for all Americans through landmark reforms.

President Trump signed into law the groundbreaking First Step Act, which made transformative changes to our justice system, and repealed unjust provisions that disproportionally harmed African Americans.

As a result of the FIRST STEP Act, more than 3,000 Americans have been released from prison and 90% of those who have had their sentences reduced are black Americans.

This legislation eliminated the “three strikes” life sentencing provision for some offenses, expanded judges’ discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes, and more.

The First Step Act is helping inmates successfully return to society by expanding access to rehabilitative programs.

President Trump was honored to receive the 2019 Bipartisan Justice Award for his leadership in the passage of the historic First Step Act.

The President formed the Federal Interagency Crime Prevention and Improving Reentry Council to create more second chances for Americans returning home from prison.

President Trump has promoted second chance hiring, providing Americans the opportunity to succeed and rejoin their communities.

The President has wisely issued pardons and commutations to a number of individuals adversely impacted by the criminal justice system, such as Alice Johnson, Jon Ponder, Jack Johnson, Tynice Nichole Hall, and Angela Stanton.

ADDRESSING BIGOTRY, RACISM and VIOLENCE

President Trump is taking historic action to increase the adoption of best practices in law enforcement and support a safe and secure America.

The President is restoring law and order to communities across the Nation through numerous Federal initiatives, including launching Operation Legend.

President Trump issued an Executive Order on Safe Policing for Safe Communities that will encourage law enforcement agencies to implement best practices and protect the communities they serve.

Under the Order, the Attorney General will allocate certain grant funding to only those law enforcement agencies that meet high standards, including around use-of-force and de-escalation techniques, as credentialed by reputable independent bodies.

The Order provides incentives for law enforcement agencies to use a nationwide database to track terminations, criminal convictions, and civil judgments against law enforcement officers for excessive use-of-force, which will create accountability between agencies.

The Administration will prioritize training and other programs for police and social workers responding to incidents involving the mentally ill, addicted, and homeless.

President Trump is directing his Administration to develop and propose new legislation to Congress to further the policies of the Order and build community engagement.

Our law enforcement officers provide critical protection to all Americans, and we need to work collectively to strengthen relationships across our country.

In May 2020, President Trump, provided full remarks about the death of George Floyd.

President Trump met privately with families of people lost to police killings including Ahmaud Arbery, Botham Jean, Antwon Rose, Jemel Roberson, Atatiana Jefferson, Michael Dean, Darius Tarver, Cameron Lamb, Everett Palmer and committed his Department of Justice to reviewing those cases so that justice will be served.

Trump has repeatedly, clearly, and forcefully denounced all forms of hatred.

In September, President Trump signed a resolution and expressed his desire to see the KKK prosecuted as domestic terrorists.

President Trump in August 2019: “In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul.”

EDUCATION & HBCU INITIATIVES

President Trump has made it a priority to support our nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and expand school choice.

President Trump signed into law the FUTURE Act, which made permanent $255 million in annual STEM funding for minority-serving colleges, including roughly $85 million specifically allocated to HBCUs.

During his first weeks in office, President Trump issued an Executive Order to move the federal HBCU initiative back to the White House, ensuring HBCUs were a key priority and establishing the President’s Board of Advisors on HBCUs.

The Trump Administration created the first Framework for the Development of a Federal HBCU Competitiveness Strategy which coordinated the Federal government in aligning agency and department HBCU planning.

Federal departments and agencies now have plans to improve the conditions under which HBCUs compete for federal resources and opportunities.

The Trump Administration relaunched the HBCU Capital Finance Board to make millions of dollars available to support HBCUs’ long-term growth and improvement.

The administration has announced that any restrictions on those funds going to institutions with a religious mission is unconstitutional.

President Trump signed the Farm Bill that included more than $100 million dollars for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HBCU land-grant institutions.

The Trump Administration fully forgave $322 million in disaster loans to four HBCUs in 2018, so they could fully focus on educating their students.

President Trump became the first sitting President to address the National HBCU Week Conference.

The President has made school choice a top priority for his Administration because a child’s future shouldn’t be determined by his or her parents’ income or area code.

During his first few months in office, President Trump authorized the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program — the only federally funded voucher program in America.

The D.C. Opportunity Scholarship has awarded life-changing scholarships to over 10,000 students. Scholarship students’ average household income is about $23,000 and three-quarters of scholarship students are African American.

HEALTHCARE & COVID RESPONSE

President Trump and his Administration are focusing on healthcare disparities impacting minority communities.

The White House has provided at least 550,000 Black American stakeholders with comprehensive, direct updates on preparedness, response, and mitigation efforts in nearly every state through more than 50 briefing calls/video-teleconferences and events.

President Trump in May 2020 hosted a listening session with African American leaders in Michigan to discuss efforts to support minority communities impacted by the coronavirus.

The President directed the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council to focus resources on minority communities impacted by the virus.

The Trump Administration is distributing over 500,000 rapid coronavirus tests to 107 HBCUs in an effort to prevent potential COVID-19 outbreaks in high-risk communities.

The Trump Administration is working with a consortium — with the consortium of black medical schools to fund and scale local efforts in communities that reach communities of color.

The Administration announced a $40 million initiative partnering with Morehouse School of Medicine to fight COVID-19.

The President signed the CARES Act legislation providing nearly $1 billion to HBCUs, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and other minority serving institutions that have experienced hardship due to coronavirus.

President Trump signed legislation to guarantee coronavirus testing free of cost-sharing, removing financial obstacles for Americans who would otherwise be unable to access them.

The Trump Administration is investing approximately $2 billion in community health centers, helping their 28 million patients in medically underserved areas receive the care and testing they need.

The Administration is working to increase access to critical telemedicine and mobile services in underserved areas.

The Trump Administration awarded $11.5 million through the Telehealth Resource Centers and awarded an additional $20 million to increase telehealth access and infrastructure.

The President’s team will work towards reforming public health data infrastructure, take action on chronic conditions in at-risk populations, and address food insecurity – all of which will help repair healthcare disparities in our communities.

The Trump Administration is leading unprecedented activity in research, medical education, and models of care in support of people with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) and signed into law the Sickle Cell Disease and Other Heritable Blood Disorders Research, Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment Act of 2018.

President Trump signed an Executive Order on Advancing American Kidney Health, to improve the lives of Americans suffering from kidney disease, expand options for American patients, and reduce healthcare costs.

The Trump Administration will work with Congress to make significant investments in minority-serving healthcare institutions.

HONORING AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE

President Trump celebrates the diversity of America by honoring the rich contributions of the Black community.

Annually, President Trump recognizes National African American History Month, African-American Music Appreciation Month, Juneteenth, Minority Enterprise Development Week, National School Choice Week, The National HBCU Week, National Caribbean-American Heritage Month, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day through proclamations, events and other celebrations.

President Trump presented the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Eldrick “Tiger” Woods.

Trump participated in the promotion pinning ceremony for 2020 State of the Union Gallery guest and retired Tuskegee Airman, Colonel Charles McGee, promoting him to Brigadier General in the Oval Office.

President Trump signed into law the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act, awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to Katherine Johnson, Christine Darden, Dorothy Vaughan (posthumously), Mary Jackson (posthumously), and in recognition of all the other women who contributed to the success of NASA during the Space Race.

The Trump Administration announced the NASA headquarters building in Washington, D.C., would be named after Mary W. Jackson, the first Black American female engineer at NASA.

President Trump signed into law The Commission on the Social Status of Black Men & Boys Act, which will study & make recommendations to address the conditions affecting Black men & boys.

President Trump signed an Executive Order creating the National Garden of American Heroes to pay tribute to historical figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Jackie Robinson.

In 2017, President Trump visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture with Secretary Ben Carson and Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in honor of Black History Month.

President Trump has paid his respects at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington DC numerous times.

President Trump signed the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park Act into law in Atlanta, creating Georgia’s first National Historical Park.

President Trump added the John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the African American Civil Rights Network.

Who’s the real racist? I suggest it’s Obama. Because the rich, white, Republican president did more for Blacks in a week, than Obama did in 8 years.

Quite a long list of actual positive accomplishments for minorities, and particularly for the Black Community. A bit of a far cry from what the biased, propagandizing media would like us to believe from their fragmented, anecdotal, out of context representations of President Trump as a bigoted racist. Just who are the bigots and the racists?

Statistical Support for Election Illegality

 

 

Statistical Support for Election Illegality

 Thanks to Diane Hardwick for the reference.  This study adds statistical and mathematical weight to common sense observations, such as:

 “How could Trump have been leading by hundreds of thousands of votes at around midnight of election night, and lose in six primarily democratically run cities as ballots were dumped or computer results altered, through the night?”

 And: “How could Biden, sitting in his basement for most of the campaign, garner 14-18 million more votes than Barrack Obama did in his two victorious years?  How many of these obviously excess votes came from dead people, double-counting, seeding ballots and tweaks of the voting hardware and software?”

 Quoting from this study,

“Continuing our analysis from our original report cements our confidence in the conclusions we drew there — namely, that Biden’s victory in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia relied on very unusual individual vote updates, which indeed were so extreme that, were they all only at the 99th percentile of co-extremity, Joe Biden would have lost all three states.  This does not prove any particular affirmative case of fraud so much as to point out that what is perhaps the most contested window of time also contained a small number of critically Biden-favoring updates which have measurably unusual characteristics.

 It remains our belief that a maximally detailed forensic audit of all of the vote-counting procedures and the ballots themselves, conducted in the public view, remains the only possible way to address suspicions surrounding these circumstances.”

 Unfortunately, this study, coached in statistical proofs, will fall on the same deaf ears in public, legal and judicial opinion as the whistleblower testimonies, video clips and mountains of other evidence of the illegal election practices in the large, democrat run cities in the swing states.

 No matter what eyewitness testimony, video clips, statistical analysis and other evidence shows, the leftist democrats managed to steal an election and they are getting away with it.  A large proportion of our electorate, watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, read the New York Times and Washington Post, and bleat baa—aa, in acquiescence to the lies.

 It is truly sad for our country to be burdened with a completely incompetent, plagiarizing and dishonest crime family leader like Joe Biden, who is additionally sliding into senility, as our next president.  His cabinet choices are already harbingers of bringing back “the swamp”, identity politics, cancel culture and all the trappings of the “new world order”.

We Have Been Brainwashed!

 

We Have Been Brainwashed!

 The American public, though distracted by the increasing corona virus numbers across the country, is willing to accept the continuing propaganda that Joe Biden legally won the presidency with no fraud or illegalities.  This is in spite of a multitude of whistleblower witnesses and myriad smartphone video clips and a ton of other evidence to the contrary.  We have been brainwashed, folks.  By the biased print and broadcast media; by the algorithms in our social media; by our lying, unscrupulous, politicians.  Josef Goebbels’ Nazi’s, and the Soviet and Red Chinese propagandists could not have done any better.

 These forces, which started just being anti-Trump and hatred of Trump, are now are so obviously against free speech, a truly free press and against so much of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, that they have subverted the foundations of our republic.

 We know that there is unprincipled media, big tech and entertainment industry bias against Trump, against republicans and for the socialist principles of the democrats in this country that runs to rank hypocrisy. The Trump bashing of the past five years, and the fawning over Obama, and now Biden, is not only disgusting, it is tearing our country apart.

 This is nowhere more evident than when an anonymous “whistleblower” is protected, considered sacrosanct and used as a basis by a partisan “star chamber” House of Representatives procedure to impeach a sitting president over an innocuous phone call; and then when myriad whistleblowers submit open affidavits of fraud and chicanery in our elections, and are dismissed or ignored and called “conspiracy theorists” or “right wing kooks”, by the massed biased leftist forces. “Nothing to see here” says the mainstream media, as whistleblower after whistleblower comes forth with sworn testimony backed by signed affidavits, at risk to their lives and well-being.

 Where are the champions of the whistleblowers, who are risking life and limb, to tell the truth about our fraudulent and illegal election?

 The whole process, with the “fix” being in long before the election, is truly worthy of the most vile, egregious, totalitarian regimes that fix their elections to place their favored dictator in power, and revile or persecute those brave enough to object.

 The censorship and cover-up by the major media outlets of the news by the New York Post, one of the oldest and largest newspapers in the country, of Hunter Biden’s “pay for play” scandal, is a study of outright lying to the electorate.  Many voters said they would not have voted for Biden if they knew about the “Biden crime family’s” ties to China.  This is manipulation of the truth worthy of the most corrupt banana republics.

 Forgetting even the whistleblowers’ accounts relating such abuses as interstate transport and fraudulent processing of large volumes of ballots, any rational person just looking at the election results has to have serious questions about the validity of the election.  In fact, a majority of republicans and many honest democrats believe that something was wrong with the election.

 How could Biden, sitting in his basement for most of the campaign, garner 14-18 million more votes than Barrack Obama did in his two victorious years?  How many of these obviously excess votes came from dead people, double-counting, seeding ballots and tweaks of the voting hardware and software?

 How could the republicans have “flipped” upwards of 12 house seats, most of the contested state houses and legislatures, and lost the presidency?

 How could Trump’s massive support in the primary vote not get translated into an election win, as in all previous elections?

 How could Biden underperform Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia, and in those big cities in swing states run by Democrats?

 How could Trump have been leading by hundreds of thousands of votes at around midnight of election night, and lose in six primarily democratically run cities as ballots were dumped or computer results altered, through the night?

 Should there not be congressional hearings and perhaps a special prosecutor to investigate questions such as these and hear the testimony of the whistleblowers in an official setting?  If we can waste over two years and nearly $40 million on the Russian collusion farce, it seems that we should expend similar energies on whether our presidential election was rigged.

 But so far, the biased media have praised the election as “fair”.  The State and federal courts have demurred to hear the cases of fraud and illegalities presented by Trump’s legal teams.

 So, we have been brainwashed!  Unfair, unscrupulous and illegal leftist elements have “cooked the books”, and managed to steal an election, and there’s nothing we can do about it.  Mourn for our poor Republic.  Actions such as these by the leftists will surely kill it.

Newt Gingrich's article on the election

 Newt Gingrich's article on the election. Copied and ads cleaned up from the Washington Times.

Why I will not accept Joe Biden as president

Unwillingness to accept election result grows out of a level of outrage unlike anything previously experienced

By Newt Gingrich - - Monday, December 21, 2020

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

A smart friend of mine who is a moderate liberal asked why I was not recognizing Joe Biden’s victory.

The friend made the case that Mr. Biden had gotten more votes, and historically we recognize the person with the most votes. Normally, we accept the outcome of elections just as we accept the outcomes of sporting events.

So, my friend asked why was 2020 different?

Having spent more than four years watching the left #Resist President Donald Trump and focus entirely on undoing and undermining the 2016 election, it took me several days to understand the depth of my own feelings.

As I thought about it, I realized my anger and fear were not narrowly focused on votes. My unwillingness to relax and accept that the election grew out of a level of outrage and alienation unlike anything I had experienced in more than 60 years involvement in public affairs.

The challenge is that I — and other conservatives — are not disagreeing with the left within a commonly understood world. We live in alternative worlds.

The left’s world is mostly the established world of the forces who have been dominant for most of my life.

My world is the populist rebellion which believes we are being destroyed, our liberties are being cancelled and our religions are under assault. (Note the new Human Rights Campaign to decertify any religious school which does not accept secular sexual values — and that many Democrat governors have kept casinos open while closing churches though the COVID-19 pandemic.) We also believe other Democrat-led COVID-19 policies have enriched the wealthy while crushing middle class small business owners (some 160,000 restaurants may close).

In this context, let’s talk first about the recent past and the presidency.

In 2016, I supported an outsider candidate, who was rough around the edges and in the Andrew Jackson school of controversial assaults on the old order. When my candidate won, it was blamed on the Russians. We now know (four years later) Hillary Clinton’s own team financed the total lie that fueled this attack.

Members of the FBI twice engaged in criminal acts to help it along — once in avoiding prosecution of someone who had deleted 33,000 emails and had a subordinate use a hammer to physically destroy hard drives, and a second time by lying to FISA judges to destroy Gen. Michael Flynn and spy on then-candidate Donald Trump and his team. The national liberal media aided and abetted every step of the way. All this was purely an attempt to cripple the new president and lead to the appointment of a special counsel — who ultimately produced nothing.

Now, people in my world are told it is time to stop resisting and cooperate with the new president. But we remember that the Democrats wanted to cooperate with Mr. Trump so much that they began talking about his impeachment before he even took office. The Washington Post ran a story on Democrat impeachment plots the day of the inauguration.

In fact, nearly 70 Democratic lawmakers boycotted his inauguration. A massive left-wing demonstration was staged in Washington the day after, where Madonna announced she dreamed of blowing up the White House to widespread applause. These same forces want me to cooperate with their new president. I find myself adopting the Nancy Pelosi model of constant resistance. Nothing I have seen from Mr. Biden since the election offers me any hope that he will reach out to the more than 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump.

So, I am not reacting to the votes so much as to the whole election environment.

When Twitter and Facebook censored the oldest and fourth largest newspaper (founded by Alexander Hamilton) because it accurately reported news that could hurt Mr. Biden’s chances — where were The New York Times and The Washington Post?

The truth of the Hunter Biden story is now becoming impossible to avoid or conceal. The family of the Democrat nominee for president received at least $5 million from an entity controlled by our greatest adversary. It was a blatant payoff, and most Americans who voted for Mr. Biden never heard of it — or were told before the election it was Russian disinformation. Once they did hear of it, 17% said they would have switched their votes, according to a poll by the Media Research Center. That’s the entire election. The censorship worked exactly as intended.

Typically, newspapers and media outlets band together when press freedom is threatened by censorship. Where was the sanctimonious “democracy dies in darkness?” Tragically, The Washington Post is now part of the darkness.

But this is just a start. When Twitter censors four of five Rush Limbaugh tweets in one day, I fear for the country.

When these monolithic Internet giants censor the president of the United States, I fear for the country.

When I see elite billionaires like Mark Zuckerburg are able to spend $400 million to hire city governments to maximize turnout in specifically Democratic districts — without any regard to election spending laws or good governance standards — I fear for the country.

When I read that Apple has a firm rule of never irritating China — and I watch the NBA kowtow to Beijing, I fear for our country.

When I watch story after story about election fraud being spiked — without even the appearance of journalistic due diligence or curiosity — I know something is sick.

The election process itself was the final straw in creating the crisis of confidence which is accelerating and deepening for many millions of Americans.

Aside from a constant stream of allegations of outright fraud, there are some specific outrages — any one of which was likely enough to swing the entire election.

Officials in virtually every swing state broke their states’ own laws to send out millions of ballots or ballot applications to every registered voter. It was all clearly documented in the Texas lawsuit, which was declined by the U.S. Supreme Court based on Texas’ procedural standing — not the merits of the case. That’s the election.

In addition, it’s clear that virtually every swing state essentially suspended normal requirements for verifying absentee ballots. Rejection rates were an order of magnitude lower than in a normal year. In Georgia, rejection rates dropped from 6.5% in 2016 to 0.2% in 2020. In Pennsylvania, it went from 1% in 2016 to .003% in 2020. Nevada fell from 1.6% to .75%. There is no plausible explanation other than that they were counting a huge number of ballots — disproportionately for Mr. Biden — that normally would not have passed muster. That’s the election.

The entire elite liberal media lied about the timeline of the COVID-19 vaccine. They blamed President Trump for the global pandemic even as he did literally everything top scientists instructed. In multiple debates, the moderators outright stated that he was lying about the U.S. having a vaccine before the end of the year (note Vice President Mike Pence received it this week). If Americans had known the pandemic was almost over, that too was likely the difference in the election.

The unanimously never-Trump debate commission spiked the second debate at a critical time in order to hurt President Trump. If there had been one more debate like the final one, it likely would have been pivotal.

This is just the beginning. But any one of those things alone is enough for Trump supporters to think we have been robbed by a ruthless establishment — which is likely to only get more corrupt and aggressive if it gets away with these blatant acts.

For more than four years, the entire establishment mobilized against the elected president of the United States as though they were an immune system trying to kill a virus. Now, they are telling us we are undermining democracy.

You have more than 74 million voters who supported President Trump despite everything — and given the election mess, the number could easily be significantly higher. The truth is tens of millions of Americans are deeply alienated and angry.

If Mr. Biden governs from the left — and he will almost certainly be forced to — that number will grow rapidly, and we will win a massive election in 2022.

Given this environment, I have no interest in legitimizing the father of a son who Chinese Communist Party members boast about buying. Nor do I have any interest in pretending that the current result is legitimate or honorable. It is simply the final stroke of a four-year establishment-media power grab. It has been perpetrated by people who have broken the law, cheated the country of information, and smeared those of us who believe in America over China, history over revisionism, and the liberal ideal of free expression over cancel culture.

I write this in genuine sorrow, because I think we are headed toward a serious, bitter struggle in America. This extraordinary, coordinated four-year power grab threatens the fabric of our country and the freedom of every American.

Corona Virus and American Federalism

 

Corona Virus and American Federalism

 

One of the criticisms of President Trump and his administration is that they did not act quickly and decisively enough to stop the spread of the corona virus in the U.S. in the early stages of the pandemic.  These critics say that the Trump administration used our American federalism as an excuse for lack of a cohesive national Covid-19 response plan.  Without referencing what our national, state and local federalism comprises, the leftist democrats used the lack of a dictatorial national corona virus plan against Trump in the election to blame him for the virus.  Obviously this one of many, democrat dirty tricks worked.  The gullible public went baa—aa, and ate it up.  In the meantime, the same unscrupulous democrats “cooked the books” just enough in the swing states, to elect “Basement Joe Biden”.

 But I digress.  This article from the New England Journal of Medicine is a well-researched, studious discussion of how our American federalism curtailed efforts to stop the early spread of the corona virus.  Since the article is from a medical perspective, it points to complete shut downs as an effective means of stopping the spread of the virus, and cites the uneven responses by American states and localities.  They inappropriately cite comparatively small and homogeneous South Korea and Taiwan as national examples of controlling the virus by shutting down.

 Still, the article is representative of a range of somewhat liberally oriented, medical opinion, which forms the basis for further political thought and action.
