Florida was one of the few states to enact MEANINGFUL election reform.

The rest of the nation, is seeing an election stolen.

And that translates to Florida. Now it's in the sights of the Gates Foundation and the mutherWEFfers.

Expect grotesque changes forced upon the state, in the next two to four years. New Communist prosecutors; another Leftist governor...maybe a framing of DeSantis and an Impeachment or recall.

For the rest of us...I don't know. I'm not a big Name-Brand party partisan; but this was Good, or Mediocre, versus Demented Evil. And Evil won.

Listening to Tom Luongo this morning on my power-walk...he holds, correctly IMHO, that human nature will not be denied. We can pretend to an artificial reality for a short time - just as a child can pretend to be a fish for about a minute. But that pretension dissolves.

What Luongo asserts, is that how LONG the control-freak oligarchs keep control, is what determines how long the recovery is. The example he trots out, is the Dark Ages. Roman crypto-feudal oligarch-nobility, kept the peasants down for so many generations, they forgot the human essential quality of creativity. While Rome ran headlong into collapse, and suddenly there were no more bread and circuses to sustain the serfs.

It took them FOUR HUNDRED YEARS to rediscover the habits of industrious creativity, coupled to a re-valuing of all human life...the lives of their children, neighbors, and strangers. THAT was why it took this long for a vibrant world to reassert, posits Luongo.

Makes sense to me. Trouble is, I don't have four hundred years. Russia, after the fall of the Soviet Union, only took ten years to rediscover how to live like civilized people. THAT, I might have. Maybe.

Even that is a waste. But then, this stage was set long before I was made aware. In fact, nothing has changed, except for my reading of the situation. But I'm not liking what I read, at this point.

I cannot agree with part of the above:

1. You and I are in exactly the right age or condition. We've had a life of immense experiences** and are not planning much of anything more beyond the things we've already done.

2. We are still mobile and experienced to the point where either of us would be as effective as anyone at all in irregular warfare.

Putting the two above paragraphs together, we both may have a once-in-a-millennium chance at affecting a cusp of history. If sumpin like your Armageddon is gonna happen, I want to be there to do something about it.

**Start writing that collection of train-related vignettes into an autobiographical novel. USE YOUR NAME. Make a dent in this world while you can. Be remembered. You have the knowledge, the erudition, and the talent. What you do not have (yet) is me proofreading and editing your chapters. Get your lazy ass moving on this. No excuse.
 
Old video surfaces with Obama boasting "We got democrats in charge of the voting machines."

Obama Caught Boasting ‘We Got Democrats In Charge Of The Voting Machines’ In Resurfaced Video ⋆ Conservative Firing Line

An old video of Barack Obama has emerged that shows the former president boasting that “we got Democrats in charge of the [voting] machines.”
conservativefiringline.com

"But look, I come from Chicago so I want to be honest. It’s not as if it’s just Republicans who have monkeyed around with elections in the past, sometimes Democrats have too.”

“Whenever people are in power they have this tendency to try to, you know, tilt things in their direction.”

Obama won Ohio in 2008 and 2012. Since then the bellwether state has voted solidly Republican.

It's just the propaganda machine cranking back up to hyper speed that so many seem to like to suck the teat of.

I'm still waiting for anyone to explain what he did as potus that was so terrible that he must be destroyed for having done.
He may have his faults, but the nation and its people were better off, even if half the people are too proud and/or ignorant to admit it.

3.7% unemployment, 1.4% inflation, $1.80 gas, average household $4000/year richer, oil independence and mfging coming back.
....oh, and reduced chances of war.

With your guy we got that same 3.7% unemployment, but with 8% inflation, $5 gas, households $5000/year poorer, oil dependency on nations that hate us and a return to more off-shoring of jobs.
....and a marked increase of the risk of WW3.


But we don't have to read mean tweets anymore, so it was worth it, right? Lol
 

BREAKING: Grassroots Group Releases Footage of Maricopa County Ballot Mules Stuffing Ballots in a Drop Box – VIDEO​

By Jordan Conradson

Video footage recorded by the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center’s live drop box camera and released by We The People USA Alliance shows multiple individuals driving up to the drop box and depositing numerous and sometimes entire stacks of ballots at a time.

This is why leftist groups sued to ban Patriots from filming dropboxes in Arizona.

The Gateway Pundit reported that a federal judge banned cameras or videotaping of any ballot trafficker at a drop box days before the election, giving the election fraudsters and Democratic ballot traffickers free reign.

At the time, Kari Lake held a 10-point lead in several polls, including an 11-point lead in the recent FOX 10 poll from Arizona.

On Monday, we reported that Trump-Endorsed Arizona Gubernatorial Nominee Kari Lake had her election taken from her.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported on an investigation into Maricopa County ballot harvesting, which used Public Records Requests for all ballot box retrieval and chain of custody forms utilized in Maricopa County during the 2020 General Election. The report concluded that Maricopa County officials violated Arizona law and did not have the required chain of custody for at least 740,000 ballots.

He was responsible for slowing down the establishment pay for play system in DC. For that both parties want nothing to do with him.

Which is as good a reason as any to have him as potus.

The only alternative is to have one of them as potus.
....but why on Earth would we want to make them happy? To do what they want, makes ya one of 'em.

The problem, in broad strokes, is that the Elites have become insular...parochial. They never get out of their bubble.

They, as a class, have moved from the ultra-successful citizens, to the Elite Social Class...to the Masters of the Universe...to the Guardians of Gaia. This is a significant mindset-shifting...it's not that they're doing better than others; it's that they're (first) ELEVATED. Then, they come to believe, they're ELEVATED OF THEIR MERITS. This, in spite of how often they either received significant help and sponsorship, or else inherited the wealth and/or position.

Finally, this shifts from an exalted opinion of themselves and their class, to a misanthropic view of those they've come to see as their Lessers. To where they want to use their wealth (often stolen from those "lessers" through seigniorage, money-printing and distribution) to "cleanse the Earf" of this "virus that is humanity."

There are answers to this situation, and no, they don't involve taxation-redistribution schemes. First, cultural absolutes - Rights of Individuals. Life, liberty and property - and yes, self-determination of one's own body is part of that. So is, possession of weapons to defend one's life, liberty, property and bodily autonomy.

Second, is a cultural valuation of religion - the Judeo-Christian traditions, that elevate the Law of Moses. And assert that no matter one's economic or social status, all are equal before their Maker. That is an important grounding that man-children like Klaus and Billy Gates, lack.

Third is a dedicated commitment to Rule of Law. That no MATTER how elevated a person is or pretends to be, he must answer.

This last can never be fully achieved; but its success lies in how close to the ideal it is able to come.

pmbug --

Whut he was not-quite-legalese-proof sayin' is:

1,185,584 votes were cast for the Republican Gubernatorial candidate.
1,299,047 votes were cast for the Republican Treasurer.

So either more Republicans came out to vote specifically for the Republican candidate for Treasurer while specifically NOT voting for the Republican candidate for Governor...

...Or some very obvious hunky-punky be going down.

No fair counting the Dem votes <-- That is a variable. Gotta keep it apples to apples.
 
Yeah, I understood. While it may be surprising to some folks here, not every Republican is on the 100% MAGA TRUMP ELECTION STOLEN train. There is a significant amount of Republicans who rejected the Trump train by voting against the Trumpiest candidates on the ballot(s). YMMV.

99% of voters aren't going to be able to tell you who the R-Treasurer is. So they either vote Against Kari Lake because she has the baggage of a Hillary Clinton or there are obvious shenanigans.
 
Does it really matter in the long run how many Republicans got screwed again if McConnell is still leader? There aren't enough decent politicians around. Looks like one big party to me for the most part.
 
Lots of no votes shows how far this world has gone down the $hithole.
