"Der Regulierungstaat Uber Alles". This was the existential issue of the 2020 election. It's consequences go over the head of 90% of of Biden voters. I anticipate that what they can f'up they will f'up.
We are in an all electric house in southern NH casting about for an alternate heating source. The Dems dont wish working America well in anyway, at all.

We've all been watching with bated breath this past week as vote-counting winds down and propaganda-influencing winds up.

But where are the facts supporting the outcries? There were a lot of assertions made on & after Election Day. When will these be supported with data?

- Abnormally high turnout in Democratic-lead historically fraud-prone counties in swing states (why isn't this available now?)
- Turnouts over 100% (voters exceeding registrar's list)
- Turnouts over 90% (voter activity exceeding probabilistic or historical norms, to near-impossible levels)
- Reports from the voter rolls of superannuated voters, some approaching 200 years old
- Reports of wee-hour ballot dumps by 10's of thousands all with just the "Biden" box ticked, no down-ticket votes.
- Vast discrepancies in voter behavior trends across county lines.

These are the low-hanging fruit. Where is the harvest? It appears the knife fight is on now, trying to keep all of these discussions out of the courts.

#2 Aggie on 2020-11-12 09:33 (Reply)

Yes and no. Some of those areas have legal same-day registration, and the numbers reported in some conservative sources don't take this into account. there's a lot of apples-and-oranges out there. Still, there seems to be at least some provable fraud, which ill allow reform to go forward, even if it is not enough to overturn even a single state.

Incorrect headline. The author is complaining about poor bookbinding. Bookmaking is a completely different art and trade.

Stamp out last bastions of political descent in Hong Kong. Biden has promised to do the same thing in America. They are actively working on this on every college campus. Facebook, Twitter all sensor politics; unless you spout the party line. AOC and others of her squad, and allies, want you punished for supporting Trump. Why not take them at their word?

#5 B. Hammer on 2020-11-12 10:36 (Reply)

That's an excellent point, B. Hammer,
but I'm sure you meant to write,
"Dissent" not "descent" and "Censor" not "sensor".

I have to apologize for being so nit picking, but words are important in a discussion of this importance.

How is it a 'konspiracy', when I am using the lefts words? They actually say these things. Just because they delete them, after getting pushback, doesn't mean they didn't say them.

What do we make of Joe Biden telling us, the Saturday before the election, “most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

To quote Joe again: "Well, sonofabitch!"

#5.2.1 B. Hammer on 2020-11-12 15:31 (Reply)

Because you believe everything you hear. Biden can't do half of what he's talking about, anymore than Trump could fulfill his campaign promises.

Leftist politicians are spouting off because they are taking a victory lap which is what everyone does when they win. But you believe the most radical because believing you're being persecuted as part of a group is part of your psychological makeup. It fills some kind of perverted need to think you're important enough to persecute or your world is ending. Only it isn't but on the internet you can safely pretend it is.

If you think Biden is going to drag you away to a re-education kamp or shut down all dissent, then you probably need psychological help unless you're getting enough good feelings belonging to that persecuted community of konspiracy mongers.

You people call yourselves Conservatives and you make me cringe because of where this country is going and knowing your kind of whining will do nothing to salvage the midterms. But I guess you'll have the excuse of being in a gulag somewhere.

#5.2.1.1 Henry Jackson on 2020-11-12 16:26 (Reply)

I see. Except, I don't believe everything I hear, that would make me a democrat.

I may have used a poorly thought out symbol of conformity, but you made the leap to my thinking that everyone is going to the gulag. Are there members of the democrat party, that are perfectly capable of creating gulags? You bet!

My grandfather's chicken farm was right next to a dairy farm. I'm not sure I'd say observing with cows, even from a distance, is a "pleasure."

Out here in Western Canada, we do (or did) have what I would call "aggie days" at the local fair grounds in March. Would take the offsprings down as thought it was good for them to know where their food came from. When it came to the cattle exhibit, I was wont to ask the exhibitors whether we were looking at ice cream or hamburgers. Had a few surprised looks, but always got an answer. And, yes, the offsprings are still omnivores.

Portland city commissioner who supports defunding the police called 911 on her Lyft driver

UPS has come out and said that African American hairstyles and beards will now be allowed. OK! I'm good with that. Do they understand that it also means no restrictions on anyone's hairstyle? Maybe that's OK. Maybe that's how it should be. A UPS employee could now emulate Hitler's hair and mustache, would that be OK? I'm sure some would say that is expressing hate. I think that's true. But as an old guy who went through the AFRO years did you think the afro was expressing "love"? No! It was a finger in the eye of anyone who wasn't a radical African American. But again, I think that is OK. I also think that if someone wants to wear Hitler's 'do' that should be OK too. But I also think it is OK for traditional Southerners to have statues of Robert E. Lee too, so what do I know.

Electronic vote fraud equation revealed: In Michigan in 4 counties 138,000 Fake votes for Biden

QUOTE:

Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT engineer and Fulbright Scholar, with Phil Evans B.S.E.E. and Benny Smith (election commissioner and data analyst) have back-analyzed the pattern of voting in Michigan and figured out the electronic algorithm used to alter votes. Voting patterns are distorted in a way that can only be explained by a linear transformation (an algebraic equation) and he can approximate that equation and slope of the line. This means he can calculate how many votes were flipped and he does, and it’s massive.

Biden To Freeze Deportations, Welcome Illegals

Harris and Biden are going to reflexively reverse everything that Trump has done, regardess of merit. This will mean an unstable middle-east thanks to a financed and emboldened Iran, and a return to stagnant wages for the non-professional class in America due to a return to mass (mostly illegal) immigration. They can live in whatever mental bubble they want in DC, but they can't will away the nature of supply and demand.

I feel sorry for all of the people of color in America that will economically suffer most because of it.

#10 Kevin in WI (Link) on 2020-11-12 11:49 (Reply)

It is no obvious that at least 1.5 million votes were fraudulently cast for Biden and the number may well be twice that. It is also fairly obvious that now the intent is to slow walk this in court (not by Trump but by the legal system) until no court decision could possibly overturn the stolen election. Now, if you are honest and regardless of whether you consider yourself a Democrat or Republican this should worry you. There is overwhelming evidence that the election is stolen AND there is growing evidence that the courts will eagerly become complicit in that act by intentionally running out the clock. How can any "American" be happy about this?

A complimentary fact of this fraud is that the number of actual voters for Trump increases while the number who voted for Biden decreases. This means that probably 73 million Trump voters will know with certainty that their votes were thrown aside to elect a far left president and her surrogate. I would also expect that some percentage of Democrat voters will have buyers remorse because of this massive vote cheating and will be counted along with the 73 million Trump voters. I am just not sure this will be the "victory" the radical left had expected.

Have you made a donation to the Trump Fund for recount? If you haven't even had the time to put in $5 to try to help with the legal costs to buy back our country--STFU !!

Here is the website: GOP.com

Here is how to address the payment:
DJTFP’s Recount Account

Maybe, just maybe the least you can do is don't order on Amazon , or if that is too hard for you, maybe just maybe you can hold yourselves back from Costco. What is the relationship you ask:
WA state has not had a clean election in nearly 100 years--THEY (Boeing, Costco, Amazon,Microsoft, etc.) are all the leaders that grew up in that environment. Their world dominance depends on making China happy! Don't forget it was Microsoft that just donated $50 million to the Biden campaign the week before the election. Do you really think that went into yard signs? How about that going to pay off the media--does that sound a little more realistic? What do you think is going on right now? A few Republicans are trying to claw back this country and your freedom--the money for those legal challenges is desperately needed just to get in the game at this point in time.

Right on, faculty wife. It ain't over 'til it's over. The media does not declare election winners.

I don't want to harsh your mellow, but i just ordered a 6000-watt diesel generator from Amazon. I'm not sure you know how Amazon actually works though.

FYI Costco usually has some pretty good ribeyes. And Walmart always has decent prices on target shotgun shells.

Re: Bookmaking

This one is easy. Publishers all over the world make a much bigger profit on an "electronic" book than they do on a printed book. A hardcover might sell for twenty dollars on Amazon, and will cost the publisher six dollars to make. But the same book might sell for twelve dollars as an e-book, and only cost the publisher a dime. So it's obvious that these companies want people to stop buying real books. To that end, they are going to make real books shittier and shittier, until people no longer see an advantage in owning one. Eventually, they'll design printed books that fall apart like tissue when you open the cover.

Re: Joe Biden and the Middle East.

"U.S. taxpayer dollars are going to the Palestinians’ slay or pay program."

The U.S. State Department has spent years meddling in the affairs of foreign countries. As a result, they have made financial commitments to dozens of different groups. But nobody ever gave the State Department permission to give away American tax money. No one would agree that U.S. workers are supposed to financially support the Palestinians. Or the Nigerians. Or anyone else. America is not an ATM.

As another example, the Department of Homeland Security gave away two million dollars for software development. They didn't buy anything, they just gave the money away for free.
https://www.hstoday.us/subject-matter-areas/emergency-preparedness/dhs-awards-1-96m-to-small-businesses-to-develop-network-modeling-tools-for-risk-assessment/

The real issue here is that the State Department, and DHS, and in fact the entire government has taken over the economy, and they plan to distribute tax money to groups of thier own choosing. They will control what happens from now on. And they want the Mexican border to remain open, so that millions of more hispanics can flood into the country, and apply for welfare. Eventually, everyone will be on welfare. That's equality. And the exact same thing is happening in England. Africans are pouring into the country, but the government forbids the military to stop them. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/plan-deploy-navy-block-migrant-22493450

Eventually, all of England will belong to foreigners. Either those who have come there illegally, or those who have simply bought the entire country, one piece at a time.

America and Europe can only survive if our insular communist governments are brought under control. That means a 90% reduction in taxes, and bureaucracy.

It's not just the State Department - it's what Eisenhower warned us about, the Military-Industrial Complex. Why is it that Trump has been pushing and pushing and pushing for our withdrawal from Afghanistan and yet that hasn't happened yet? It's that the MIC doesn't want the war to end so they're simply ignoring his orders. Gross insubordination if you ask me. Hopefully his recent reorg in the DoD indicates he has finally recognized the problem and realizes that the "timeline" for withdrawal is pure bunk, that if he doesn't get it done before he leaves office, it ain't going to happen.

The MIC wants war, war is good for business. Not just the bullets and the bombs and the tanks and the aircraf, but more importantly the government contracts for re-building the roads and the schools and the hospitals and all the other infrastructure we have to rebuild after we get done bombing the old roads and schools and hospitals and infrastructure. Do you have any idea how many generals are retiring from the Pentagon and are worried there may not be enough high-dollar "consultancy" contracts to go around for all of them? Think of the generals!

If Trump also succeeds in bringing peace to the Middle East, well, there goes that pot of gold as well. Fortunately, Biden will be putting an end to our energy independence so that we can no longer afford to ignore what happens in the Middle East and there will be plenty of opportunities for meddling, plenty of opportunities for graft and corruption as we try to buy off one group of terrorists against another with foreign aid. Sell arms to both sides, provoke warfare, give big foreign aid grants to the victims in the form of infrastructure construction and re-construction projects - can you imagine how much money there is to be made in that line of work? I'm getting goosebumps over here just thinking about it! What an exciting time to be alive!

Recount Observers are Needed

If you can spare three days or more, the Trump Campaign and the RNC are in need of poll watchers to observe the ballot recounts in several battleground states such as PA, GA, WI, MI, NV and AZ.

Your expenses will be paid for by the RNC including airfare, hotel, meals and airport transfers.

If you are interested, please contact Republican National Committeewoman Janet Fogarty – janet@massgop.com

Include your full contact information: name, address, e-mail, phone number as well as your earliest available start date and the amount of time you are willing to serve.

Re the covid second wave:
It is a big deal but taken out of context. The total deaths in the U.S. every year are about 9 million from all causes. Strangely, this year with massive covid deaths the rate is going to be about a million less than normal. Does this mean covid saved lives??? Does it mean we are attributing deaths to covid that are not caused by covid??? Does it mean that millions of old people die every year from serious illnesses and some of them are dying from covid but because covid is 100% political we are tabulating those deaths and hyping them for political purposes??? BINGO!!!
