Issues of Interest
Writing “10 Absolute Truths” on any subject could be considered bold, overly ambitious, or just downright arrogant. That becomes even more a consideration when writing on a controversial subject such as election fraud. Nevertheless, there are some important lessons from history, including the most recent election, that coalesce into powerful truths that we will have to face sooner or later, whether pleasant or not.
Truth #1: Election Fraud is real. It’s not new. But it has gotten more sinister and sophisticated.
The fact is that election fraud is a part of the human experience and has been well documented. It’s not a “conspiracy theory.” There are numerous examples of documentation, including court convictions and deathbed confessions. You can see a lot of this at a fabulous Heritage Foundation website, A Sampling of Recent Election Fraud Cases from Across the United States. https://www.heritage.org/voterfraud.
American history is replete with colorful examples. One of those involves the “Battle of Athens,” when a group of GIs returned to their small town in Tennessee after World War II only to discover that while they were fighting for America, a mob from Memphis took over the town they loved.
One of these war heroes responded by running for mayor but later learned the election was rigged. The GIs then broke open the town armory, blew up the jail, and forced an open counting of ballots with the whole town watching. They proved the fraud in the election and jailed the cheaters. It’s a great American story.
Another example is the story of “Landslide Lyndon,” our 36th President. There’s no question that Lyndon Johnson cheated to win a close election in his first Senate race in 1948. Robert A. Caro documented this with the equivalent of deathbed confessions in the second of his massive five-volume biography of Johnson, The Years of Lyndon Johnson: Means of Ascent. In 1990, Dan Balz wrote that Johnson “didn’t just steal the election but pulled off a heist of historic proportions, far greater than anyone has recognized until now.” New York Times writer Martin Tolchin reached a similar conclusion in a book review titled “How Johnson Won Election He’d Lost.”
In addition, there are many instances of foreign election fraud where dictators such as Kim Jong Un, Joseph Stalin, Hugo Chavez, and Nicolas Maduro won obviously fraudulent elections with massive totals and an unreasonable percentage of the vote.
These are all very real facts from history. Since human nature has not changed, there is no reason to believe that election fraud has disappeared. Quite the contrary. Fraud has upped its game with modern technology, as explained below.
Truth #2: The election stakes are higher than ever before.
It’s cliché to say that “this is the most important election of our lifetimes”—but also true, because the stakes are ever increasing. We are looking at federal spending of nearly $8 trillion in 2020 with an “actual” budget deficit exceeding $4 trillion and total federal taxes well north of $3 trillion. Obviously, the COVID-19 pandemic is a big culprit. But how that money is raised and spent will have a lasting impact on our lives now and well into the future. Clearly, spending happens regardless of who occupies the White House, but the ante has just been upped—by a lot. That’s why so much money was spent in the 2020 elections—almost $14 billion on the presidential and congressional races.
Beyond the money, America is a more divided nation than any point, perhaps, since the Civil War. This has worsened during the pandemic. There are major debates over policies such as mandated shutdowns, declarations of what is an essential business (and what isn’t), and mask requirements that have direct, personal, and long-lasting impacts on our finances and our very way of life.
In addition to the hopefully short-term pandemic challenge, we also face a set of radical proposals that would permanently alter America if enacted. On the electoral front, we have heard loud voices within one party to form new states from the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico with the primary purpose of adding new Senators from their party to tip the Senate permanently in their favor. In addition, the leadership of that same party has demanded immigration changes that appear designed to provide a permanent popular majority for their party through more open borders, amnesty, and fast tracks to citizenship.
Many of the same group also support abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote. Of course, such a move would remake the electoral landscape completely. Election fraud in a single state might be sufficient to decide an election. And lest you think that the Supreme Court might rein in such ambitions, this same group has advocated a scheme called “court packing,” where the new President would add Justices to the court to guarantee a majority ruling whenever required. President Franklin Roosevelt attempted to do this in 1937 but failed.
Finally, there are major foreign policy debates on the role America should play in the world, how we should react to China, and how we protect our nation. The differences over these issues are stark and will have a huge impact on our national security in the not-too-distant future.
Truth #3: Foreign actors are interfering in our elections, and that is a national security risk.; Truth #4: Our electronic voting machines are vulnerable, but most are afraid to admit it.; Truth #5: What happened in six states was not normal or acceptable.; Truth #6: The science of statistics reveals unusual patterns that should be investigated.; Truth #7: Mail-in ballots have long been recognized as a fraud risk—and with good reason.; Truth #8: Preventing election fraud is a civil rights issue.; Truth #9: The mainstream media and social media manipulated election results by censoring political discourse.; Truth #10: It is acceptable to question election results. In fact, it’s a necessity to maintain free and fair elections.; The Bottom Line: Nations that allow mass corruption in elections are at risk of permanently losing all liberties.
Sunday on New York WABC 770 AM radio’s “The Cats Roundtable,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called into question the “legitimacy” of the scumbag/liar-Joe Biden presidency.
According to Gingrich, the 2020 presidential election “was the most corrupt election in modern times.” He argued that efforts by Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to “maximize Democratic turnout” in the election “raises enormous questions about the legitimacy of the scumbag/liar-Biden potential presidency” because it is “a direct violation” of the 2002 Help America Vote Act.
“I think the Democrats focused on the election where Republicans focused on the campaign. The Democrats didn’t care if scumbag/liar-Biden never campaigned. They were going to generate votes and turn out votes,” Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis. “And when you go around and look state by state, the results are fascinating, and I think they raise real questions about exactly what happened. I personally believe this was the most corrupt election in modern times.”
He continued, “Just take the one example of Zuckerberg and Facebook, they put in $400 million basically renting city governments and getting them to maximize turnouts and precincts that they couldn’t carry, which is a direct violation of the 2002 voting act by Congress, which says that you have to have a fair effort across the board. You can’t just select areas you’re going to try to maximize turn out in. So, I think just the $400 million that Zuckerberg put in to maximizing Democratic turnout, by itself, is a big enough corruption that it raises enormous questions about the legitimacy of the scumbag/liar-Biden potential presidency.”
{ americanexaminernews.com } ~ What was a comfortable lead for the re-election of Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler of Georgia just a few weeks ago has now narrowed to a real nail-biter, according to sources close to GUV PAC, a Super Pac supporting the pair.
GUV PAC is also loosely aligned with Gov. Brian Kemp and is run by some of his top strategists.
The GUV PAC source tells Newsmax that “It is not looking particularly good for Loeffler and Perdue.”
The problem is what has been so far a low turnout for Republican voters. It’s all coming down to who can do a better job of getting the vote out Tuesday.
The source shared some internal numbers with Newsmax that revealed that Republicans early voted in the Senate runoffs in the same percentage they voted as of the close of early voting in person for the general election — 35.2%
Democratic voters upped their participation in early in-person voting on the runoffs by 6% — up to 42.5%, while independent early voter participation dropped by that same percentage from general election early voting.
The GOP’s interest levels are reflected in recent polls.
Robert Cahaly, a pollster at the Republican-leaning Trafalgar Group, released polling data just before New Year showing both Democrats socialist-Jon Ossoff and socialist-Rafael Warnock leading in tight races.
Trafalgar had socialist-Ossoff at 50.4%, with Perdue at 47.7%. Loeffler trailed socialist-Warnock, 48.8% to 49.6%.
The Republican source says it’s anyone’s guess as to why.
“There are a lot of competing theories about why Republican turn out is down. Could be the holidays and that Republicans simply preferred to spend time with family during the early voting period,” he tells Newsmax.
“Could also be a lack of trust in the voting process amongst Republicans given the focus on election fraud in November.”
Another possible factor is pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood, who has been fighting election results in the courts.
He’s been telling Republican voters since as far back as late November that they should stay home for the Senate runoffs. But almost all conservative leaders believe that Wood’s advice is both nonsense and dangerous.
If Georgia GOPers stay at home, Republicans would cede both Congress and the White House to the Democrats.
Accordingly, it all comes down to Election Day on January 5th.
“Trump’s visit to Georgia tomorrow is extremely important,” the GUV PAC source says, adding that the president’s choice of venue is also important to drive up participation.
“In fact, Georgia’s 14th district, where the rally is located, is one of the most conservative congressional districts in the state, but it also has the lowest turnout in the runoff so far.”
The Republican National Committee announced that it will host its “Victory Rally” at the Dalton Regional Airport at 7 p.m. Eastern. The president sounded eager to get back on the campaign trail.
“On behalf of two GREAT Senators, @sendavidperdue & @KLoeffler, I will be going to Georgia on Monday night, January 4th., to have a big and wonderful RALLY,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “So important for our Country that they win!”
Both Loeffler and Perdue were initially scheduled to appear and speak at the event.
However, Perdue self-quarantined after he came into close contact with someone who’d tested positive for COVID-19.
This came at a critical time for Perdue, and even Loeffler, coming after the GOP’s lackluster early voting turnout and at a time when all hands are needed on deck, the source says.
“But there is one bright spot,” he says. “GUV PAC has modeled and identified 362,712 low-propensity targets, 25.41% or 92,156 have voted. If Republicans hold the line these will be the difference maker.”
In the political arena, where a week can seem like a year, two weeks can be an eternity.
Sunday on MSNBC’s “American Voices,” Rep. scumbag/liar-Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reacted to audio of a phone call obtained by the Washington Post of President Donald Trump pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to recalculate the state’s votes from the 2020 presidential election.
scumbag/liar-Swalwell said the call is “criminal” and “repugnant.” He also suggested it is not the only call Trump has made.
“That’s not America, Alicia. That’s my initial reaction,” scumbag/liar-Swalwell told host Alicia Menendez. “As a former prosecutor, I’d say legally, it was criminal. Morally, it was repugnant. And institutionally, as a member of a democratic body, it’s corrosive. But more importantly, he’s going to be gone in 13 days, but the damage that he has done, the wrecking ball he has taken to our institutions will not be gone. And I really think it is incumbent on us in Congress to take an MRI to all the corruption because you know this is not the only call.”
scumbag/liar-Swalwell went on to say he hopes prosecutors in Georgia take a look at the president’s “mafia-esque behavior.”
“Georgia has its own laws, and I hope prosecutors there look at what the president has done. This mafia-esque behavior should be looked at,” he stated.
