Interesting point

From Scott Adams @ScottAdamsSays:

To believe Biden will be sworn in as president in January, one must believe at least one unlikely thing:

1. Despite being brainwashed to believe Trump is Hitler, Democrats in key cities did NOT attempt a large-scale voter fraud to save the country.

or. . .

2. Democrats did commit major voting fraud to remove “Hitler” but for some strange reason all the geniuses looking for indications of it can’t find any confirmed evidence and there are no whistleblowers.

or. . .

3. Democrats WANTED to commit major fraud to get rid of “Hitler” but there is no practical way to do such a thing and hope to get away with it.

or. . .

4. Democrats didn’t REALLY think Trump was so bad that it was worth cheating to remove him.

Remember, it’s still #2020.

I see one more unlikely possibility:

5. Fraud did occur and was discovered but no one with standing is interested in and/or willing to pursue it in court.

Quote of the day—Peter Grant

The two sides in American politics today lack almost all middle ground.  There can be no “meeting of the minds” if the minds are so diametrically opposed to each other.  This election has not solved that problem, and no election will.  Nevertheless, we’d better try to find a solution . . . because if we don’t, the next Battle of Fort Sumter may be all too ready to erupt.  We may be seeing its first skirmishes on our streets as I write these words.

Bill Whittle is more passionate than I have ever seen him before. As Matthew Bracken said:

Start watching at 3 minutes 50 seconds. Don’t miss it. You can explain this easily to even your dimmest democrat relative or neighbor.

Quote of the day—Rolf

The first step in any recovery problem is admit you have a problem. If they don’t think the corruption is a problem and people are not going to jail, they’ll find endless excuses to not fix it.


So a plan was hatched. They watched the 2017, 2018, and 2019 off-season elections closely to determine who was involved and what methods were used.

Dead people voting in Michigan

Via daughter Jaime:

1,300 confirmed: https://pastebin.com/XEi5Uy6t
13k being checked https://pastebin.com/zjz6nm6Q

Michigan registration website: https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/Voter/Index

The confirmed list is people who have been supposedly confirmed to be voted and/or registered to vote in this election via the Michigan Voter Information Center website (the third link above).

The second link above is a list of 14,549 names of people who were born 100 or more years ago. Of possible interest is this warning by Paste Bin for this list:

Warning – Potentially offensive content ahead!

Pastebin’s SMART filters have detected potentially offensive or questionable content ahead.

The content you are about to view has been deemed potentially offensive or questionable by our filters, because of this, you’re receiving this warning.

You can continue ahead at your own risk or go back.

Yeah, it’s offensive to the criminals committing fraud.

I sorted the confirmed list by date of birth and selected the oldest people to confirm via the Michigan registration website. Here are my results:



TERRY MATHIS  1/1900  48207 Ballot Received: 11/2/2020
JAMES BRADLEY  1/1900  48234 Ballot Received: 11/2/2020
THEODORE WILLIAMS  1/1900  48219 Registered but no absentee ballot was requested.
ROBERT BROCK  1/1900  48203 Ballot sent but not received.
JAMES JENTZ  1/1900  48224 Registered but no absentee ballot was requested.

I find it highly unlikely that people coming up on their 121st birthday actually voted. I claim fraud.

This must stop. The people committing this fraud must be sent to prison and never be allowed to vote again.

Some observations made by Jaime when she called me to discuss:

  • Maybe this is the best possible outcome. It’s so obvious that people are going to insist something be done about it.
  • Trump is not a Republican. A Republican would concede. Trump is a fighter.
  • If the lawsuits can’t be resolved by the time the electoral college votes in December then it goes to the House where a delegation, with each state equally represented, votes on the president. Republicans would have a majority in this scenario.
  • 2020 does not disappoint.

Wisconsin voters exceeded registered voters—FALSE

I’ve seen this a couple different places now:

WiVoterNumbers

According to Wisconsin Elections Commission:

The State of Wisconsin had 3,684,726 active registered voters on November 1, 2020.

I even used the Way Back Machine for the WI web page and found it had identical numbers of November 1, 2020.

There may be good reasons to suspect fraud but this isn’t one of them for Wisconsin.

Bellevue warming up

From the City of Bellevue 7:10 PM:

Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson has declared a civil emergency in the city and signed an emergency order prohibiting weapons in the downtown area where demonstrations from multiple, opposing groups were reported. The Mayor is authorized to “proclaim the existence of a civil emergency whenever a riot, unlawful assembly, or other hostile action, or the imminent threat thereof, occurs in the city and results in or threatens to result in the death or injury of persons or the destruction of or damage to property to such extent as to require, in the judgment of the Mayor, extraordinary measures to protect the public peace, safety and welfare.”

The city has also requested further law enforcement support from surrounding jurisdictions to maintain safety and order for the groups demonstrating and the public. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid the area.

It’s a good start

Via David Hardy we have this list of laws infringing upon a fundamental human right which Everytown For Gun Safety fears will will be overturned by SCOTUS.

I would like to think the list is severely in error. But even if they are correct at least it would be a good start.

This could get interesting

I have to wonder how many NSA people will be indicted by various countries in the next few months. Of course, to the best of my knowledge, the NSA didn’t let their “tools” go wild and take down critical infrastructure in multiple countries.

Judge agrees, Democrats oppose the 1st Amendment too

Good news!

Via Stephen Gutowski we have this report:

A federal court ordered Los Angeles to hand over more than $100,000 to the National Rifle Association after ruling that the city had violated the gun-rights group’s First Amendment rights.

We have to take the offensive against these tyrants. It’s nice to have judges who enforce the constitution.

It’s official

Via a private post on Facebook: On July 26, 2016 Obama was briefed on an intelligence report that Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against candidate Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the DNC:

HillaryScandal

This is not conclusive evidence that it actually happened. Just that the Russians probably believed it happened. But, assuming it is true and there is conclusive evidence…

Obama knew. It’s official.

The question in my mind is now, “What are the list of crimes these people committed by doing this?” Conspiracy to commit libel and slander look plausible. Surely there are more serious offenses, right?

Quote of the day—Roger T. Benitez

The result is that any law-abiding citizen may lose his liberty, and (not ironically) his Second Amendment rights, as a result of exercising his constitutional right to keep and bear arms if the arm falls within the complicated legal definition of an “assault weapon.” If ever the existence of a state statute had a chilling effect on the exercise of a constitutional right, this is it.

[Chilling effect!!

This is awesome! It’s an infringement upon a specific enumerated right if it causes a “chilling effect” upon the exercise of that right. This has long been the case for First Amendment infringement law but it wasn’t until 2018 in Illinois that I saw it applied to a Second Amendment case.

This is paving the highway to throwing out most of the stupid gun laws in this nation. Licensing, gun and gun owner registration, and even background checks could get eventually thrown out if we approach this incrementally.—Joe]

Kyle Rittenhouse – The Truth in 11 minutes

Via The Dailywire:

See also this article from yesterday.

There are only a few days left to sign the petition urging the White House to prosecute the district attorneys who charged Rittenhouse. I know it’s unlikely the DAs will prosecuted even if enough signatures are obtained. And I know 99,148 signatures in the remaining days is next to impossible. But, please, sign it anyway.

The more signatures we get the closer we are to normalizing the prosecution of those who use the power of government to implement a terrible injustice. These DAs are clearly attempting to cast a chilling effect upon the specific enumerated right to keep and bear arms. They, and others like them, must face justice. Help normalize the prosecution of these criminals. Sign the petition.

2020 Democrats should listen to 2016 Democrats #FillThatSeat

MTHead said:

Does it really matter what Gibbering Joe says anymore? No one on either side is really listening to him for actual content.

I say, “Yes, it matters.” When someone says something to the effect of, “The Senate should wait for the new president.” It seems to me an effective counter to that is, “Joe Biden disagrees with you.

But, I’m willing to not push the point. How about a bunch of democrats in addition to Joe Biden? Doesn’t that matter?

[This is how I found out RBG died.

A few minutes later she also sent me a screen shot of Mitch McConnell’s statement on the passing of Justice Ginsburg. Here is the text (emphasis added):

The Senate and the nation mourn the sudden passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the conclusion of her extraordinary American life.

Justice Ginsburg overcame one personal challenge and professional barrier after another. She climbed from a modest Brooklyn upbringing to a seat on our nation’s highest court and into the pages of American history. Justice Ginsburg was thoroughly dedicated to the legal profession and to her 27 years of service on the Supreme Court. Her intelligence and determination earned her respect and admiration throughout the legal world, and indeed throughout the entire nation, which now grieves alongside her family, friends, and colleagues.

***

In the last midterm election before Justice Scalia’s death in 2016, Americans elected a Republican Senate majority because we pledged to check and balance the last days of a lame-duck president’s second term. We kept our promise. Since the 1880s, no Senate has confirmed an opposite-party president’s Supreme Court nominee in a presidential election year.

By contrast, Americans reelected our majority in 2016 and expanded it in 2018 because we pledged to work with President Trump and support his agenda, particularly his outstanding appointments to the federal judiciary. Once again, we will keep our promise.

President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.

“Politically charged” is an understatement. I expect the police and fire departments will soon be earning overtime for the foreseeable future.

I wonder if the list of 20 names of potential Supreme Court nominees President Trump released nine days ago was based on insider knowledge of Justice Ginsburg’s health status.

All is in accordance with prophecy.—Joe]
