RUTHFULLY YOURS

If the Democrats just ram these election results through without explaining, then the legitimacy not just of our electoral system but of our entire government may suffer a fatal blow.

he 2020 election in particular, and our electoral process in general, have been badly compromised.

First there have been the successful efforts by Democrats to loosen electoral administration standards and practices by legalizing ballot harvesting (where partisan “volunteers” go out and collect ballots as well as “assist” voters in filling out their ballots), allowing same-day voter registration, mass mail-in voting, and the like. On the flipside we have Democrats tenaciously fighting any efforts to shore up the integrity of the system, such as requiring ID and proof of citizenship to vote. 

Couple all of this with unprecedented last minute rule changes on the eve of what was sure to be the most contested election in generations, if not in American history: all changes designed to favor one side over the other.

Theoretically, none of these measures guaranteed a compromised vote. Theoretically, it’s possible that a system designed to be gamed and abused won’t be. But a party concerned about the integrity of the system wouldn’t expend so much effort making it easier to rig elections; it would do the opposite. The other party, the one trying to do exactly that (if all too often in a desultory, half-hearted way) nevertheless gets attacked as the enemy of “democracy.”

The media’s standard practice when reporting on anything Republicans say is to tack on “Falsely” or “Without Evidence”.

When they tack on “Falsely”, it means that the media can cobble together some argument on behalf of the Democrats even if it’s Snopes garbage, while, “Without Evidence” means they don’t have a damn thing to counter it with except some procedural arm waving.

Currently, “Without Evidence” keeps getting attached to every time Republicans and conservatives note sizable “errors” and “irregularities”. 

By that the media means that Republicans can’t prove it was enemy action. 

Take Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s press conference on what’s going on in Michigan, which includes falsely claiming that Republican observers were on site, when they weren’t allowed in, and a massive “error” that marked thousands of Republican ballots for Democrats.

Does it really surprise anyone?  It’s what cheaters do — they cheat.  And why not, when you continually get away with it?  Why stop?  The 2008 Norm Coleman versus Al Franken election, won by Coleman, is a perfect example.  Harry Reid refused to accept the election result, which was overturned when ballots were “found” in the trunk of a vehicle.  How convenient — the necessary votes to reverse the election by a neat 312-vote margin, found in the trunk of a car.  Feckless Republicans did nothing.  Further revelations of voter fraud with inmates illegally casting votes for Franken came to light, but by then, Franken had been sworn in, and America just accepted the Democrats’ cheating ways.  In this way, Democrats got that magic number in the Senate by which they could perpetrate any crime they wished on America.  It is how the Big Lie, Obamacare, was foisted on Americans.

Then there were those 2018 House elections.  How many of those were the byproduct of voter fraud?  Four flipped seats in New Jersey, three in New York, five in Pennsylvania,  three in Minnesota, six in California, placing Nancy Pelosi back in the speaker position.  How about those seats won by Republican but then reversed in California?  How much of a buffer did they provide to keep Republicans from winning back the House in 2020?  As an American, I deserve to know how many seats have been stolen over the years!  Voter fraud by mail — what could possibly go wrong?  Revelations that ballot envelopes were backdated at multiple Post Offices, stolen ballots, ballots thrown away by postal workers — one more federal agency that loses all credibility.  On Election Night,  Trump had a 700,000-vote lead, and the Democrats had to erase that lead in any way possible.  After all, elections are too important to let the peasants decide the outcome.

Details continue to emerge, documenting what we all know, what we all expected: the most massive voter fraud scandal in the history of the United States.  Whether it was a Freudian slip, an honest moment courtesy of Joe Biden’s advancing dementia, or emboldened arrogance, Biden proclaimed that they have created a large “voter fraud organization.”

When Kyle Becker heard about the “glitchy” computer program in Antrim County, Michigan, the one that tried to give 6,000 Trump votes to Biden, he starting doing research into the system. He ended up finding an amazing amount of highly disturbing information. The Dominion system has been known for some time to be defective, yet 28 states use it. This post is a compilation of Becker’s information, both in his own tweets and in one other person’s tweet, about what’s going on with that system:

What I find most disturbing is the impunity with which Democrats are gaming the system. They’re not even trying to cover their tracks. They are 100% certain that there will be no consequences for their actions. They know that the media, which should be a watchdog on behalf of American citizens, is actually an arm of the Democrat party that will do everything necessary to cover for Democrat election crimes.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced that elections officials would conduct a recount of the 2020 vote in the state, because of the razor-thin difference in ballots cast for Joe Biden and President Trump.

With 99 percent of the state’s vote tallied as of 12:40 a.m. on Friday, Biden led Trump by 1,564 votes.

“Out of approximately five million votes cast, we’ll have a margin of a few thousand,” Raffensperger, a Republican, told reporters at a Friday press conference. The secretary emphasized that his office would focus on making sure that “every legal vote is counted and recorded accurately…with a margin that small, there will be a recount.”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito late Friday ordered Pennsylvania election officials to segregate ballots that arrived after Election Day.

Alito granted a request by the state’s Republican party to separate mail-in ballots received between 8 p.m. Nov. 3 and 5 p.m. Nov. 6 from those that arrived by 8p.m. Nov. 3, in accordance with state guidance.

He ordered (pdf) that those segregated ballots must be kept “in a secure, safe and sealed container separate from other voted ballots.”

The justice, however, did not order the counties to stop counting but instead ordered that “all such ballots, if counted, be counted separately.”

Alito also directed any responses to the application by 2 p.m. Nov. 7.

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania had filed a request (pdf) earlier on Friday asking the court for an order to log, segregate, and not take any actions over mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

So Joe Biden has won the highest popular vote in the history of the US. At the time of writing, more than 73million people have voted for him. He has beaten the record set by Barack Obama who was swept to power on that famous wave of ‘HOPE’ and 69.5million votes in 2008. But here’s the thing: so has Donald Trump. Trump might be trailing Biden in the popular vote of 2020, but he, too, has beaten Obama’s 2008 record. Trump, at the time of writing, has 69.7million votes. So he has won the second-highest popular vote in the history of the American republic. That is remarkable. Far more remarkable than Biden’s very impressive count.

Why? For one simple reason. Trump is the man we’re all meant to hate. He has been raged against ceaselessly by the cultural elites for the past four years. Hardly any of the American media backed him in 2020. Globalist institutions loathe him. Academia, the media elites, the social-media oligarchies, the celebrity set and other hugely influential sectors have branded him a 21st-century Hitler and insisted that only a ‘white supremacist’ could countenance voting for him. He’s the butt of every sniffy East Coast joke and the target of every fiery street protest. He’s the worst thing to happen to Western politics in decades, we’re told, by clever people, constantly.

And yet around 70million Americans voted for him. The second-highest electoral bloc in the history of the US put their cross next to the name of a man who over the past four years has been turned by the political clerisy into the embodiment of evil.

That is what makes the vote for Trump so striking, and so important. Because what it speaks to is the existence of vast numbers of people who are outside of the purview of the cultural elites. People who have developed some kind of immunity to the cultural supremacy of the ‘woke’ worldview so intensely mainstreamed by the political and media sets in recent years.

“The presidential election is being put to bed with the usual lullaby of stock phrases enjoining voters to set aside their election day differences and reunite in amity and good fellowship. That Democrats didn’t do that after 2016 isn’t mentioned, which further illustrates why Trump is such a despised oddity — a Republican who declined to play by the Left’s rules and gave as good as he got.”

I wonder how many supposedly conservative or right-wing commentators really understand what’s been going on in the US.  Even after four years! At the time of writing it looks as though Biden will snatch, possibly steal, the Presidency. I have no doubt that fraud and cheating took place. As a general rule, we already know that political machines cheat and lie. We already know the Democrats have done this countless times during the past five years. Why would we think that party apparatchiks in swing states would suddenly recoil at the thought of doing something — anything! — underhand?

To say this, of course, marks you as a conspiracy theorist in the eyes of some, so, in order to defuse that criticism, some commentators take the line that ‘yes, probably some cheating went on but not on the scale to affect the overall outcome’.  Well, if the perpetrators didn’t think they could affect the outcome, why would they bother?  It would only take a few thousand votes in one swing state to turn the election.  Do we think that is beyond the people who gave us the Russiagate hoax? That said, I doubt that the courts will overturn a Biden victory.  So where to from here?

The suggestion from most commentators is that Trump should graciously concede, giving ‘loser’s consent’ to an administration fronted by a senile, arguably corrupt, time-server on the basis that this will heal divisions within the country.  Those people clearly do not get the Trump phenomenon.  They acknowledge– some of them, anyway — Trump’s impressive list of achievements but wonder why he can’t be more collegial, more empathetic, more  ‘presidential’. Perhaps they are thinking of former Republican leaders who were attacked, ridiculed, maligned and misrepresented without uttering a peep of protest. George W. Bush springs immediately to mind.

“Joe Biden’s handlers would have you believe — and this is but one example of the line they expect Americans to swallow — that ghetto districts in Milwaukee voted in numbers greater than 90% of the electoral roll. Some would accept such wonders in the name of good manners and observed convention. Donald Trump isn’t cut from such cloth.”

A conservative friend who dislikes Trump asked about his 2am speech branding the election as a fraud. Here’s my reply:

I guess my immediate response to any criticisms of Trump’s performance last night is to tease out some of the underlying assumptions. There are three basic possible premises.

1/ The Democrats did not cheat.

2/ The Democrats did cheat.

3/ We can’t know for sure, but the Democrats may have cheated.

In regard to #1, if this is true then Trump’s claims about stealing an election are despicable. Thus far I haven’t been overwhelmed with any evidence on this front. But it may come.

Re #2. On this premise I don’t think there was anything at all wrong with Trump’s 2am performance. I would have done the same.

Re #3. I assume most people fall here. We don’t know. We do know that Wisconsin now has, what, an 86 per cent turnout. That is nearing NZ levels, the highest in the world for any non-compulsory voting jurisdiction.

And we know that all three Midwest Democrat-run states stopped their counting at the same time. I’ve not heard of stopping the counting in Canada and Britain. And the fact they all stopped at the same time – not even on the hour – is very odd, very odd indeed. The odds of it not being co-ordinated are rather small. Of course, there are non-cheating explanations for co-ordinating a ‘stop counting’ decision across three states, it’s just that we’re not hearing what they might be.  If honest and above board, then it was dumb because it licensed people to think cheating was taking place.
