America’s Stasi Must Go

We want an FBI that is accountable, not independent.

Kash Patel lives here (Las Vegas, NV), we have met him a couple of times (we’re even FB friends), we have friends in common, and he will be exactly what is needed as Director of the FBI.

If you’ve been following the decline of the once-admirable law enforcement agency, you realize that Chris Wray and his sycophants have turned it into a threat to the nation they are supposed to serve.

Wray has covered up and withheld information from the public and Congress. He has ignored crimes committed by leftist protestors, such as the assault on the White House where a ton of police were injured, or the illegal harassment of SCOTUS justices. Yet he has prosecuted about a thousand people for their activities January 6, a majority of whom hurt no one and damaged no property.

Yes, anyone who attacked a police officer or broke a window deserves to be prosecuted. Grandmothers who simply walked around the lawn do not.

The FBI also claims it doesn’t know who brought cocaine into the White House, who built the gallows that were on the Capitol lawn January 6, who placed pipe bombs, or who leaked the SCOTUS decision on abortion. This just in: they are lying, or, alternatively, incompetent. In either case, they need to go.

The FBI denied for four years that they had operatives in the crowd on January 6, 2021. Now, they admit they did. They had more than 20 “Confidential Human” sources there. They play word games and try to conceal the truth by saying they didn’t have undercover agents in the crowd. Who cares what they call them? They had FBI employees undercover. And it is likely the Capitol Police, CIA, Secret Service, NSA, Homeland Security, etc., had people there too.

THAT is what an unaccountable FBI looks like. It is a threat to our freedom and the republic itself. The Chris Wray FBI would fit in perfectly in Iran. Not in the U.S.

Trump was injured in an assassination attempt in July. They have released almost no information about the shooter. Why? Probably because it shows he cooperated with either foreign actors or domestic agencies. If he was a lone shooter, a nut, a whacko who just tried to shoot Trump, you would know all about him.

If he was a right-wing terrorist and racist you’d know everything from his blood type to what size shirt he wore. They even cremated the shooter’s body three days after the assassination attempt, thus destroying key evidence. The only reason to rush the cremation was to cover up something.

Most importantly, don’t buy the BS that the FBI is supposed to be an independent agency. That is simply untrue. People who say that are either uninformed or intentionally misleading.

ALL of government is intended to be accountable to elected officials and ultimately the voters. The FBI isn’t supposed to be free of accountability and influence from the voters any more than the Social Security Administration, the Pentagon, or the Senate staff. ALL of government is intended to be managed and controlled by elected officials who are themselves accountable to citizens.

Like the idea of an “independent” FBI? How did independent police forces work out in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Kampuchea/Cambodia, or Iran? Do you want to live in fear that an unmoored FBI might knock on your door at 2 AM and drag you off to jail? That is what you get with an FBI that reports to no one. That is what we have now, actually. Do you like that? Neither do I.

Under Biden, the FBI has functioned as a political force pursuing and supporting Biden’s political goals. That is wrong. Biden is the first president to ever use all of the available judicial and police resources in a coordinated effort to keep his political opponents off the ballot and in jail. Fortunately, the effort has failed. The American people know the charges against Trump would not have been brought against anyone else. Their cases have all fallen apart, and the people pursuing them – like Fani Willis in Atlanta – have proven to be corrupt and immoral trash.

Fortunately, most Americans saw through it. Everyone who isn’t a leftist/socialist/anti-Trumper recognizes bias and incompetence when they see it.

And, yes, quite a few people who thought they would ever vote for Trump, for anything, realized he was the better choice in 2024.

America has rejected the police state tactics of Biden and Harris. Trump has pledged to put people in charge – people like Kash Patel – who won’t let it happen again.

Rather than being a threat to our republic, Trump is poised to be the person who saves it.

Our duty is to hold Trump and his team accountable for doing the things they said they will. For the first time in at least four years, we have a president who publicly acknowledges the freedoms we have lost and is committed to restoring them.

Thank God.

The Truth Benefits Trump and America

By Rob Meyne

The few days following an election are traditionally a time of decompression, good will, and commitment to finding common ground. Trump and Biden seem to be doing their parts. The uproar from leftists, media, and many anti-Trumpers, however, has been less reserved.

If you listen to Biden’s statements, his message is essentially that people say a lot of bad things during a campaign but, after it is all over, we really can get along. Two days after Harris got trounced, Biden was smiling and said, “We’re going to be ok.” Two days earlier everyone on his side was saying Trump would be the end of democracy. Obviously, he didn’t mean it or believe it.

It was pure campaign hyperbole and vitriol. It is sad that millions of people are terrified of the many things Democrats said in the 2024 campaign are just not true. Democrats portrayed 2024 as a last fight for democracy. As the current Democrat president indicates, it wasn’t true, and he knows it.

Having lost badly in a democratic election, many Dems are saying they will do everything they can to oppose Trump. He was the winner and the best thing for the country would be to find common ground. Their hatred of Trump is greater than their love of country. They show no sign of goodwill, reaching out, or coming together.

The governors of Illinois and California, to name two, have marshaled resources to oppose Trump in whatever unnamed horrible things he is supposedly planning on doing. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who looks in a mirror and always sees a future president, has called for a special session of the California legislature to prepare for, well, he doesn’t exactly say. He wants to be ready for the terrible attacks Trump is planning, whatever they may be.

I am reminded of a few anti-Trumper friends and ex-friends who have been saying for nearly a decade that Trump is evil. He will ruin America. They always talk about the horrible things he WILL do, but it never happens. Trump did not strip women of their rights, try to put people of color in camps, or round up and imprison journalists or people of color, and he has no plans for it. Yet they keep saying it. Like Chicken Little, they say the sky is falling. But it hasn’t yet. Every day the credibility of the left is reduced. More people are catching on. That is one thing that explains the record level of support Trump got from Black and Hispanic Americans.

The entirety of the leftist/anti-Trumper narrative is that he WILL be a threat to America even though he has been president once and the nation was demonstrably better off for it.

Under Trump, unemployment and inflation were low, we were not involved in any new wars, we were energy independent, gas was cheap, and minorities enjoyed record low unemployment. Real incomes increased. All Americans got a tax cut. Importantly, real income grew at a faster rate for lower income Americans than for the richest among us, which is exactly the opposite of what Harris and company claimed.

That is the real Trump record. The left loses when people are better informed. Fortunately, the results of November 5 suggest at least some Americans are better informed than the anti-Trump crowd wants.

How Trump Beat the Margin of Theft

By J Robert Smith

  • Nov. 7, 2024
  • 2-min read

How many of us expected the trouncing that President-elect Donald Trump administered to Kamala Harris? Okay, so the trends were good leading up to Trump’s win, but not many people foresaw the excrement-kicking Trump dealt Kamala. Trump is only the second president in history who’ll serve nonconsecutive terms – Grover Cleveland is the other. For presidential history buffs, that’s remarkable. But Trump is more than Cleveland could ever imagine on multiple levels. He’s had to run a gauntlet of biblical dimensions. He’s withstood malicious prosecutions, two assassination attempts, a corporate media and Democrats who never missed an opportunity to slander him as Hitler or a would-be dictator. If you don’t think there’s a God, think again.

Long before Tuesday’s elections, the consensus among conservatives and Trump backers was that for Trump to win, he’d have to “beat the cheat” – or perform better than the “margin of theft.” If you look at the totals and Trump’s margins of victory in the battleground states, his margins were tight, except for Arizona, where, at this writing, he enjoys about a five percent margin between Harris and himself. If Trump failed to perform better than the margin of theft but still won a resounding victory, how did he accomplish that?

Here are four reasons to consider:

1. In the aftermath of the highly suspect Biden victory in 2020, conservative alternative media and citizen journalists made the rigged 2020 election an unrelenting focus. The information, data, and analyses generated by these cadres spread to audiences throughout the country.
2. Such effective jobs were done in reaching audiences that a third or better of the public were convinced that cheating impacted the outcome of the Biden-Trump contest.
3. In many, though not all, battleground states, efforts were made by governors and state legislatures to reform election laws aimed at tightening ballot security. Lawsuits were filed as required. Georgia suffered the loss of the 2021 MLB All-Star game because of election reforms passed by the Georgia legislature.
4. The 2024 Trump campaign, and then the Republican National Committee (RNC), under the leadership of Lara Trump and Michael Whatley, dedicated resources to deploy an army of election watchers and lawyers to aggressively challenge any irregularities encountered. Grassroots groups weighed in, too. Thousands of eyes watching elections in swing states made it clear that election officials and workers would be held civilly and criminally liable for wrongdoing.

What Happened to Biden’s 2020 Voters?

Take a look at this bar-graph from zerohedge comparing presidential vote totals from 2012 through 2024. The outlier, as anyone can see, is Biden’s 2020 total. This certainly doesn’t prove cheating but it does raise the question: “Where did Biden’s voters go?”

Where did Biden’s voters vanish to this election? Or did they really ever exist?

In the Weirdest Campaign On Record, the Best Decision is Still Obvious

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 30, 2024
  • 5-min read

The campaign has entered its last week. One certainty is that historians, if there are any left allowed to think and speak freely, will look back at this as perhaps the most extraordinary American presidential election.

The party in power spent more than three years claiming their president was mentally competent and up to the job. They argued, in contradiction of all evidence, that Joe Biden was fit, energetic, quick, and logical. The completely worthless Joe Scarborough wanted us to believe that Biden did cartwheels down the hallways in the West Wing, while juggling chainsaws, translating the Washington Post into Aramaic, and calculating the square root of Pi in his head.

It was like everyone in the media and the Party claimed Jabba the Hut wasn’t really overweight. When Biden’s senescence became too clear to deny, in the June debate, they decided he had to go. It always strains credibility when someone who has been claiming one thing is true for years on end suddenly switches their story completely. “Joe’s just fine” became “he has to go.”

Notably, the furor within the Democrat Party revealed a lot about their priorities. The discussion from their leaders was entirely about how Biden’s frailty affected their campaign. Not one person in Democrat leadership ever spoke about the good of the nation. Not one leader ever made a substantial argument that Biden had to leave because it was risky for America, and the world, to have an incompetent person, non-compos menses, with his finger on the nuclear button.

No. They only had to shoot Biden because he would have trouble winning the campaign. They cared about their power, but not the nation’s well-being. As the Democrats claim they are only concerned about preserving democracy, that is worth remembering.

Biden, the candidate who won the open Democrat primary process, receiving 14 million votes, was unceremoniously tossed aside by a self-appointed elite group of Democrat leaders and their billionaire donors. The American leftist oligarchy didn’t even cling to a pretense of openness or fairness. They installed in the presidential race a woman who has never received a single vote for the presidency.

Nor has she distinguished herself professionally. When choosing her, Biden didn’t ever claim she was best qualified to be president. He said he selected her primarily based on her sex and race, rather than on merit. He said it. Believe him.

Then, she spent four years in the vice presidency earning notoriety only for her failure to achieve anything related to two subject areas of which she was in charge: bringing broadband to rural America and securing the border. She is without accomplishments in these or any other discernible areas.

Harris is running as BOTH the proud owner of the four years of the Biden-Harris Administration AND the person who represents change. It is like having El Chapo encourage you to go to rehab. It makes zero sense.

Donald Trump has, to the chagrin of a lot of former Republicans and Republicans in Name Only (RINOs), dominated the GOP for a decade. He is the most unlikely of conservative leaders and not someone whose appeal to the working man is easily explained. I guess if millionaires like Obama can lecture us that too many Americans are rich, Trump can appeal to the average voter in Terre Haute. We find our heroes where we can.

Another oddity from 2024 is the GOP nominee has been the target of two, “count ‘em,” two, assassination attempts, being shot in one and narrowly escaping the other. The FBI, Secret Service, and DOJ continue to tarnish their reputations through incompetence on the job and cover-ups and lies to Congress and the public.

If you believe anything the FBI tells you, at this point, you probably think Ed McMahon is still going to send you a sweepstakes check. The FBI has released little information about the assassin in PA, even though the dribs and drabs that have come out raise more questions than they answer.

As it stands, we are to believe that a 20-year-old punk, with no formal training, was able to construct explosive devices, operate encrypted phones, elude the most prominent executive protection service on the planet, and kill a bystander while almost killing, and injuring, a former president. All this more easily than you could get Hillary to take a bribe.

Trump’s record as president is sterling compared to Harris/Biden. No reasonable person would look at the economic, crime, immigration, health, drug, or foreign policy landscape and say, “at least it is better than under Trump.” You cannot factually make a reasonable argument for Harris over Trump. It can’t be done.

All you can do is pile on top of Trump’s existing flaws, real and imagined, and claim they disqualify him from consideration. Trump has deficiencies, certainly, but so does Harris. One must willfully ignore Harris’s record, positions, and foibles to argue that her opponent’s flaws make her the better choice.

No competitive election is ever a choice where only one side should be evaluated. Logical and factual electoral choices are made in the context of the alternatives. If they are not made that way, they are not logical or informed. Anyone who says they must vote against Trump regardless of the other option is not making an intelligent decision. That simple.

This year will answer the question of whether an incumbent president or VP of the following description can win the presidency: they have a dismal track record, no significant achievements, issue positions most Americans abhor, aren’t capable of doing mainstream interviews, and refuse to even hold a press conference.

Having spent her entire service as VP trashing half of America, and suggesting that anyone who raises information that is inconvenient to them should be censored, Harris is not credible presenting herself as a unifier.

As America has learned more about Harris, we have found there is very little “there” there. She is like a glass onion; every layer that is pulled away reveals more of the vacuity of her core.
There is a better alternative to Harris. There is not a perfect one, just one that is clearly preferable for the nation.

Democrats Depend on Monolithic Support from Minorities and Illegals

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 29, 2024
  • 4-min read

Almost everyone likes to say we need to keep politics out of one thing or another. Which is certainly a nice sentiment. Rainbows and unicorns would be nice, too, but they aren’t reality.

It is good to operate in the real world. The truth is that all the major decisions that determine the circumstances of life are political. If you recall your political science, politics has been defined as the authoritative allocation of goods and services. In other words, what happens in our society is directed or at least affected by the laws, regulations, and mores under which we operate.

Every rule imposed on us that is enforceable by a court is provided by the political process. Even the decisions we feel like we control – what to eat, where to go to school, or how much to exercise – are made within societal and governmental guidelines that limit us or empower us, as the case may be.

That is, basically, why this author is a conservative. Which means voting Republican more often than not.

Nothing in the Democrat Party agenda makes us freer. It all makes government more powerful and richer. Think if you can come up with even a single component of the Harris campaign that makes government less rich, powerful, and coercive. Just. One. We won’t hold our breath.

The border is a disaster today completely because of political acts. On taking office, Biden and Harris reversed about 90 executive orders put in place by President Trump. Trump’s policies, including “remain in Mexico,” led to a more stable border with fewer Illegal crossings. And violent crimes committed by people who didn’t come here legally were fewer.

If the border is a humanitarian crisis, it is one that was created intentionally. Even Democrat House leaders and former presidents admit it. Representative Jerry Nadler, President Bill Clinton, and others don’t even bother to deny it.

Of course this is not a revelation to anyone who pays attention. Democrats wanted this crisis and made it happen. Why? They want the workers, the new voters, and the political power.

The border under Biden and Harris was deliberately opened to allow as many foreigners in as possible, as quickly as possible, in violation of the law, to swell the ranks of current and future voters. If you think Democrat leaders have suddenly in the past few years been overwhelmed by an epiphany of compassion, you must be drinking some of whatever Kamala seems to overindulge in.

A decade or less ago, everyone in Democrat leadership was opposed to illegal immigration. Obama, Clinton, and Schumer are among those who spoke eloquently on this. Then some demographic changes came along and Democrats realized they could stack the deck in their favor.

Traditional Democrat constituencies aren’t having babies at a high rate. Those groups are not growing. Many Democrat voting blocks are starting to look to the GOP. Time will tell, but many polls now show a majority of Hispanics support Trump. Black Americans are also apparently growing more favorable toward Trump, but, again, we will see.

Recognize the Democrat’s worst nightmare would be for Hispanic and Black Americans to vote guided by informed and independent thought.

The Democrats have become largely the party of elites: corporate CEOs, Hollywood, Wall Street, the defense complex. Millionaires/Wall Street/High Tech give to Democrats today much more generously than to the GOP. It wasn’t always the case.

Democrats used to portray themselves as the party of free speech, peace, and working people. Today, the roles have completely flipped. Republicans are the party of free speech, enjoy broad blue collar support, and are actively trying to disengage in wars.

When Black voters deign to exercise independent thinking, or (shudder) vote Republican, they are vilified and called Uncle Toms, and worse, by the Dem leadership. The lesson: Democrats love Black people as long as they stay in their place and do what they are told.

Barack Obama has lectured, insulted, and criticized Black men for not supporting Harris. Obama’s lesson is that Black men are misogynist and hateful if they DON’T vote for a candidate because of their sex. Obama wants Black men to fall in line and do what they are told. Fortunately, there are a ton of smart, independent Black men who don’t want to be told what to do.

It does not mean you are rational, principled, and well-informed if you vote for or against someone because of their sex. In fact, it shows just the opposite.

The border crisis Harris and Biden created gives Democrat leaders and their donors cheap labor, illegal votes, and likely future voters.

If Kamala wins and takes both houses, non-citizens will be given immediate amnesty and citizenship. Game, set, match. Millions of new Dem voters will spring up overnight, changing the electoral composition of the nation forever.

Consider the Democrats have also pledged to pack the court, eliminate the filibuster, give DC and PR statehood, and we’ll never have another competitive election. The deck will be stacked in favor of the Democrats for our lifetimes and beyond.

Yes, the border is a political issue. As is everything else.

Trump is our best hope of saving our republic. If Trump wanted to be a dictator, he would have done it when he had the chance. He did not.

In the last four years, we have seen Democrats use the courts to stop their political opponents, including those within their own party. Only one party wants a functioning “democracy” with an informed and free-speaking citizenry, and it isn’t the Democrats.

For Trump, the Election Can’t be a Close-run Thing

By J Robert Smith

  • Oct. 20, 2024
  • 6-minute read

Mark Halperin appeared on Tucker Carlson’s X program earlier this week. Halperin is a bona fide journalist and careful political analyst. He’s worth watching. His sources are solid on both sides of the aisle. He’s had access to the Harris and Trump campaigns’ internal polls. Public polls can be unreliable. Nonetheless, there’s agreement: inside and outside, polls indicate a tight contest. Trends look good for Trump, says Halperin, but don’t dismiss a Kamala Harris victory. Halperin cites four reasons why a hugely unqualified woman could be the next president.

You might recall that Halperin scooped his competitors on Joe Biden’s intention to quit his reelection bid. He took flak when there was a lag between his report and Biden’s announcement. But Halperin was proved right. Okay, so Obama, Clinton, Pelosi, and Schumer squeezed Biden out of the race, but no need to fuss about that.

Halprin told Carlson that if Trump wins, the election won’t be close. The same holds for Harris, he believes. That assessment may miss the target. It’s more likely that Harris will win a close contest. Trump doesn’t have that luxury. Why? Because Trump labors under a substantial handicap. He must beat the margin of theft in some combination of battleground states to secure 270 electoral votes.

To beat the cheat, what sort of margin of victory will Trump need in Pennsylvania, for instance? Some observers suggest 3%. I’ll wager it’s more like 4% or 5%. Public polling from swing states haven’t shown Trump with leads in that range – certainly not sustained leads. As of this writing, Real Clear Politics shows Trump ahead in every battleground state but Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, Harris edges Trump by 0.3%. All leads are within the margin of error. Internal polls are said to show similar razor thin differences.

Granted, in 2016 and 2020 Trump under-polled. In fact, his poll numbers are better now than they were in those contests. A lot of voters aren’t comfortable disclosing their intentions to vote for Trump. Trump’s overperformance in consecutive elections is solidly indicates that history is about to repeat. If that happens, Trump should receive the numbers needed to win. A critical question, though, is how audacious are Democrats willing to be to overcome Trump if his tallies push his margins beyond a few percentage points? In other words, how brazen are they prepared to be?

For a moment, let’s set aside the not-so-small consideration of election rigging. Let’s examine the four factors that Halperin believes could work to Harris’ advantage, most necessarily in concert.

Abortion. Abortion isn’t showing up as a big driver with voters. A Pew Research survey of registered voters (sampling likely voters would have given a better read) wrapped up on September 2. It revealed that abortion is ranked eight out of ten key issues. The partisan breakdown is interesting. Harris has made abortion a cornerstone of her campaign. Among Harris supporters, the economy edged out abortion by just a percentage point. Both issues trailed healthcare and Supreme Court appointments in importance. With an open border resulting in floods of illegals and big cities plagued by crime, what does that say about Harris supporters?

Among all registered voters queried, the top three issues were the economy, healthcare, and Supreme Court appointments. A dubious two out of three, given the pressing issues the nation faces, but let’s roll with it.

Halperin wonders if there’s a latent vote among pro-abortion women that polling isn’t capturing. Halperin commented that Trump has gone to great pains to neutralize abortion as a driver. Trump conspicuously supports the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling returning abortion to the states. He pledges to leave the issue with the states.

Is abortion really a powerhouse issue that’s flying under the radar? Are there enough intense abortion backers to help tip the scales for Harris? Or is Harris just scrambling to try to shore up her base? Will pro-abortion women – specifically, blue-collar and middle-income wage earners – cast ballots on a single issue? Are they willing to overlook the higher costs of groceries, gas, and utilities – higher costs that the Biden-Harris administration are responsible for? Does aborting babies matter more than paying bills?

Gender Gap. Halperin points out that women vote in greater numbers than men, and more women vote Democrat, hence, the gender gap. Social issues tend to drive that vote. What impact will inflation, crime, and the flood of illegals have on women’s votes? That’s working-class and middle-income women, in particular.

Claims Politico (October 11), the Trump campaign has “given up” trying to close the gender gap by attracting more female voters. Instead, Trump’s play is to boost the male vote. Perhaps Trump is having enough success doing so that it’s set off alarms among Democrats, who’ve focused lately on wooing male voters. Tim Walz’s comical pheasant hunt was a go at aligning with average guys. Democrats are also fretting about black male voters defecting to Trump. Modest gains in black support for Trump may be fatal for Harris. Will younger male voters, including black men, and white working-class females help Trump close the gender gap?

Ground Game. Sounds awfully nuts and bolts, and it is. The ground game refers to grassroots operations to identify, register, and secure ballots from target voters. Let’s face it, Democrats have run more effective, sophisticated operations to get ballots cast than Republicans since 2020 – you remember, the Covid election, when voting laws were liberalized. Rahm Emanuel has every right to crow that Covid was a crisis that Democrats didn’t waste.

This year, closing the ballot gap has been a priority for Trump and Republicans in battleground states. Scott Pressler is leading the charge in Pennsylvania.

Reported the Philadelphia Inquirer, October 13:

“Presler is focused on flipping Pennsylvania red, including purple Bucks County, namely through his organization, Early Vote Action, which had a table at the event. Lara Trump, RNC cochair and the former president’s daughter-in-law, has commended Presler for his efforts, citing Republican registration surpassing that of Democrats in Bucks and Luzerne Counties. Republicans currently have a 936-person registration lead in Bucks, according to the county’s voter statistics. In Luzerne, Republicans have a 3,965-person edge.”

Pennsylvania’s voter registration gap has closed dramatically since the 1990s, when Democrats enjoyed an edge of close to a million more registrants than Republicans. The gap now stands at 333,000.

The big challenge – and it’s big – is translating new GOP registrations into ballots.

Trump’s Personality. Sure, you either love Trump or hate him. But no nothing new here. Halperin says Trump has a ceiling of 47% support. But that claim doesn’t square with his assertion that Trump wins big if he wins – unless he was referring just to the Electoral College.

Unmentioned by Halperin is Kamala Harris’ personality. It’s grating for many people. That includes women. She hasn’t earned the nickname, “Cacklin’ Kamala” for no reason. Her favorable/unfavorable numbers are a lackluster break even.

It isn’t only about how Republicans or Democrats perceive the candidates. It’s about independents. They’re pivotal in swing states. Given the critical issues confronting the nation; given that most people are struggling to pay bills; given that most people grasp the damage being done by the Biden-Harris de facto open border policy; given that crime is creeping into suburbs and Argentina’s Tren de Aragua is terrorizing Auroa, Colorado; maybe Trump’s personality won’t be the decider among independents?

Trump is better positioned going into the 2024 stretch run then in his previous two efforts. That’s cause for optimism. But the race remains a nailbiter. Like Reagan’s 1980 landslide victory, independents may break late for Trump. That, along with Trump’s track record for overperforming polls, may make him only the second president to serve nonconsecutive terms in U.S. history. But if it’s close, well, to channel Yogi Berra, “Will 2024 be 2020 all over again?”

Democrats are the Anti-Democratic Party of Election Deniers

By Rob Meyne

  • Oct. 14, 2024
  • 3-min read

Many of the common beliefs driving today’s political events are based on things that are simply not true. Unfortunately, the mainstream media promotes them non-stop, and it is easier to accept them than to do your homework.

Most notably, it is not true that Trump is a unique threat to our system of government. He is not alone in fighting to win the election using every legal avenue possible.

He has never been convicted of a single illegal act regarding the election. Not one. Democrats have charged him with crimes, many unrelated to the election, and those cases are slowly falling apart. No reasonable person believes the charges raised against him are driven by anything but political interests.

He has not been convicted of doing anything illegal regarding the 2020 election. Nor has a single piece of evidence been offered – not one – that he directed any violent efforts on January 6 or that there was a plan to prevent a vote by electors. (If you think there is proof of that, send it my way. I won’t hold my breath.) Again, NO such evidence exists. That is why neither he, nor anyone else, has even been charged with insurrection. Yet the media (and many of you) claim it to be true.

He is not the first to go to court, try to make sure all his votes are counted, or that they were cast legally and constitutionally, or to show the media and governmental agencies conspired to keep information from voters. In fact, we know the FBI, among others, interfered with social and traditional media to make sure they buried stories that could have hurt Biden and helped Trump. The FBI had Hunter’s laptop and knew it was real, contained evidence of potential crimes by the Biden’s, and kept the information from the voters. THAT ALONE is reason to justify the statement that the 2020 election was unfair, corrupt, and that federal agencies interfered with it.

The Democrat Party has challenged the results of EVERY presidential election they lost this century. Democrats have claimed the elections were stolen, encouraged electors to change their votes, have challenged nearly every effort to secure our elections, and even tried to get a national law that would prohibit asking for vote ID. In California, the Democrat governor has forbidden localities from requiring voter ID.

In the meantime, there is a nationwide effort, funded by the Harris campaign, Democrat voters, the DNC and leftist groups, to challenge a Trump win. They have already prepared, and in some cases filed, actions to challenge the 2024 election results IF Harris loses. Marc Elias is the single most prominent election denier in America, and Harris’s legal chief. He has made a fortune by challenging free and fair elections, and he isn’t shy about it.

If you are one of those who truly believes Trump tried to “overturn” an election and the other party never does is either willfully uninformed or bigoted. Sorry. Just the facts. If you value your citizenship, care about your families, and love this country, it is time to rethink your pre-conceived notions and vote for the person with the track record who did the better job as president.

He had four years to try to be a dictator and did not. Harris had four years to try to solve our problems and only made them worse. It is not hard to make the right decision.

Below if one article about the Democrat efforts to challenge the 2024 election if they lose it, including a few points showing where they have done so before. The Democrats are ALREADY planning to challenge this election based solely on whether they win.

With apologies, if you believe the Democrats are on the side of democracy, and the GOP is not, you have drunk the leftist Kool-Aid. This is a new year, a new election, and a new opportunity to help save the nation.

Harris and Biden Have Made America More Dangerous

By Anthony Trevlac

  • Sept. 29, 2024
  • 3-min read

The Biden-Harris administration opened the border on day one. It was an intentional, strategic, and unprecedented action intended to do only one thing: get more Democrat voters in the country.

Please don’t be among those who believe even for a second that there are any altruistic motives behind their open border policy. If you believe Democrat leadership (or even most Republicans) do things primarily because they care about you, then you haven’t learned much in life.

Ten to twenty years ago, every Democrat leader was adamantly opposed to illegal immigration. Obama, Biden, Schumer, and Clinton all gave speeches laying out the threat posed by illegal immigration. They swore to protect our borders, enforce immigration law, protect American jobs, and keep our communities safe.

Why did they change their minds? One word: power. Democrat leaders looked at shifting patterns in voting behavior, and the unpopularity of the Democrat philosophy among working class Americans. They realized their best chance to build a majority was to flood America with non-citizens. This was a startling, craven policy reversal that had no benefits for the country or our citizens, but tons for the Democrat Party. These aliens would then be able to vote (although illegally) in our elections and would almost certainly be granted citizenship eventually.

Harris has already endorsed citizenship for all of the people here illegally.

Actions speak for themselves. Democrat elites could not care less about the damage unrestrained immigration has done to America. It has led to record drug overdoses, violent crimes against Americans, an erosion of the very value of citizenship, and it has fueled slavery and child sex trafficking. Harris thinks people should be rewarded for violating our laws and endangering your families.

The Biden Administration recently admitted they have completely lost track of 320,000 unaccompanied children they have let over the border. These are helpless, minor children our government brought in that have become lost in the nation, with untold thousands lost to prostitution, abuse, and slavery.

THAT is the Harris record. THAT is reason enough to make sure Harris never again sees the inside of the oval office.

Trump is continually criticized as racist because of his statement on immigration. The left calls people racist when they can’t win an argument based on facts. His statements on the issue are factual, reasonable, and stunning in their honesty.

One of the reasons many people like Trump is because of his authenticity. He says things others don’t have the nerve to say. Even if you don’t always like what he says, you feel like you know where he stands.

He points out, accurately, that a lot of criminals and terrorists have been welcomed into the U. S., unvetted, and that Americans have been assaulted, raped, and killed by them. That much is undeniable. It is not racist to point out that Americans have been the victims of these crimes.

Trump has never said “all” illegal aliens are criminals. When he speaks of dangerous people coming here illegally, he is referring – duh – to the people who are dangerous. Only people who intentionally try to misrepresent his positions believe he is against all immigration. He has said any times he wants immigrants to come here, but he wants them vetted and going through a legal process. In today’s irrational, emotional, fact-free political climate it is considered racist to say people should obey the law.

It is also factual to say that none of the people killed or assaulted by illegals – people like Laken Riley – would still be alive if our borders were secure. The person who killed Riley was let in by Biden & Harris. She would be alive today if Harris and Biden were not in office.

Today Biden’s own ICE officials released data showing we have let in about 425,000 known criminals, including 15,000 murderers and about 13,000 rapists. This is what Harris and Biden’s own government says. It is not racist or bigoted theories; it is not lies from conservatives. This is what they ADMIT.

The issue is not now, and never has been, whether illegals commit more crimes than anyone else. That doesn’t matter. What matters is that 100% of the crimes they commit are preventable. Every. One.

If you can’t understand that and why it is so important to get someone (not Harris) in the White House who has shown they will secure the border, then God help you. And us.

Laken Riley’s blood is on Harris’s hands. And if we don’t work to keep her out of the presidency, it will be on ours, too.

How to Stop Iran’s Assassination Attempts on Trump

By J Robert Smith

Tuesday night on X, former President Trump issued a statement that the Iranians have made failed attempts on his life. He said they’re expected to keep at it. “Not a good situation,” wrote Trump. Not only do the Iranians fear Trump’s election, but they want to disrupt the autumn elections. True election interference is in the works. Here’s Trump’s statement in its entirety.

NBC News reported on Tuesday night:

“President Trump was briefed earlier today by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and sow chaos in the United States,” spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

“Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference.”

Of course, we wonder if the Biden administration has the backbone to sic the dogs on the Iranians. The only way to deal with a nation that sponsors terrorist outfits across the globe is harshly, unforgivingly. The Iranians should be told in no uncertain terms to call back their assassins or assassination teams. If not, we’ll deploy our own teams or set in motion other means of decapitating Iran’s leadership.

Mossad (Israel’s intelligence service) is widely suspected to have killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh while he was attending the swearing in of Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, in Teheran. Per CNN, Haniyeh was killed “using an explosive device that had been covertly hidden in the guest house where he was staying [.]”

If the Israelis can reach into Iran to kill a high-ranking Hamas leader, they could kill members of Iran’s leadership. U.S. leaders should make the Iranians aware that they’ll work with the Israelis (and others) to kill their leaders if assassination efforts aimed at Trump – or any other American politician – don’t cease immediately. Violence – or the threat of it – is the only language the mullahs understand.

Why Hasn’t She Done It?

By J Robert Smith

It would have been so much better had Donald Trump’s closing remarks in last Tuesday’s presidential debate been his opening remarks. Why? Because Trump framed his fight against Harris powerfully. Asked the former president about Harris’ nearly four-year nonperformance: “Why hasn’t she done it?” That is, fix the problems she claims she’ll fix now – problems created by Biden-Harris.

Trump lost some traction coming out of Tuesday’s debate because, although Harris’ remarks came across as canned, she did succeed in making Trump the issue. Any election with an incumbent is supposed to be a referendum on the incumbent. That’s particularly true with Kamala Harris, who lacks the personal attributes to serve in the highest office, and as the “Harris” in the Biden-Harris administration is responsible for the woes that millions of Americans are experiencing – and will experience more deeply if Harris assumes the presidency.

The good news is that Trump has time to turn the tables. He needs to ask his question at every rally and in every interview he gives. His advertising needs to hammer away at it too. And it wouldn’t hurt to close this election with Regan’s memorable question: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

Trump will be Trump, of course. He likes to riff. He tends to be too defensive, and spends more time explaining why he did what he did. But this election isn’t about Trump – or shouldn’t be. It’s about the struggles that tens of millions of working and middle-income wage earners are experiencing. It’s about Biden-Harris deliberately throwing open the southern borders to permit millions of illegals to enter. It’s about spreading crime. It’s about historic government and private sector corruption. It’s a bout the prospect of major war with Russia, China, or both. It’s about the future, which is shaky as hell thanks to Biden-Harris’ wretched leadership.

Trump, always the promoter and marketer, should brand merchandise and signs with “Harris: Why hasn’t she done it?” His ads should feature the question. Saturate it. And Trump should never leave a rally or interview having not asked that very potent question.

It’s a question that practically answers itself, and it’s a question Kamala Harris never wants asked.
