1/20/21 - Joe Biden’s Policies Will Hurt People
Joe Biden is sworn in as President today. There will be a lot of suffering over the next four years, because Joe Biden’s policies will hurt people.
He has already indicated he will kill the Keystone pipeline. This will kill jobs in the United States and Canada.
Biden wants a $15 an hour federal minimum wage. This will kill 3.7 million jobs, CBO has said. Many small businesses, already teetering because of COVID, will be forced to close, throwing low-income Americans out of work. Other companies are laying plans to raise consumer prices, cut hours for remaining workers, and automate others out of their jobs in the future.
Biden will not look as hard for illegal aliens who overstay their visas and he will increase the number of refugees allowed into the country, putting added pressure on low-skilled Americans who are trying to find jobs.
Biden’s agency picks have announced they will ladle on new regulations on financial companies. There will be new requirements to report political spending, supposed climate change risk, and the racial composition of their workforce - all backed up with stiff enforcement penalties. All of this will stifle innovation and new financial products hurting us all. Investors, especially, are expected to take a hit.
Biden has said he will make student loan forgiveness a priority. Well-off people will benefit disproportionately, meaning lower income people will get the short end of the stick. It also means that Joe and Jane Lunchpail who do not have college degrees will see their tax dollars go to subsidize well-off people who do. Doesn’t sound fair to me.
In general, look for higher taxes and more business regulation under the Biden administration. You may not like it, but the tried-and-true Republican formula of lower taxes and less regulation really does work, as we saw under the Trump administration. With higher taxes and more regulation under Biden, you can say goodbye to rising wages and historically low unemployment for disadvantaged groups.
People flee higher taxes and more regulation. Over 13,000 companies left California between 2008 and 2016, citing lower business taxes and less regulation as reasons for moving elsewhere.
Joe Biden wants to impose higher taxes and more regulation on the entire country. This is not going to end well. Why would you deliberately adopt policies you know will hurt people? I feel like I’m trapped on a desert island with a crazy person, already.
1/19/21 - Election Fraud: More Evidence and Consequences
The pace of news about election fraud has slowed down, thankfully. Now the real work of analyzing what happened and how to assure free and fair elections going forward can begin. But today I go over the most recent stories describing the state of the evidence of election fraud in the November election, evidence that the major news outlets ignored and the Democrats want to sweep under the rug.
There’s a video showing election officials in Atlanta having a very strange conversation about ‘needing 3,000’, ‘pulling out boxes’, ‘unlocking the machines’, and ‘doing our thing’. If everything were on the up and up, they wouldn’t be having this conversation.
There’s a photo of a Wisconsin absentee ballot where the voter signature and the witness signature are the same. The ballot was counted.
That’s just a single vote, you say? Well, Trump advisor Peter Navarro published Parts 2 and 3 of his report describing mountains of evidence of election fraud.
Part 3 analyzes statistical anomalies in the election results. Part 2 describes various strategies the Democrats used to game the election, strategies like ballot harvesting and removing election safeguards.
Of greater interest for present purposes is Part 1 which talks about the bribery, fake ballots, elder abuse, ineligible voters, people who voted in multiple states, dead voters, and counting ballots multiple times - all occurring in key states.
Saying there is no evidence of election fraud isn’t going to cut it. You have half the country thinking the election was stolen. The other half that likes the result had better start seriously thinking about what it would really mean to live - and suffer - under one-party rule. If one party can rig every election in the future using techniques they perfected in 2020, then the first question will be how bad the corruption is going to get. I’ll take up the unlivable consequences of one-party rule in future commentaries.
1/18/21 - COVID Vaccine: The Other Side of the Story
An important story came in over the weekend, but I didn’t see hide nor hair of it on major media outlets. 44 people in the United States have died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, so far. Another 1,700 have been permanently disabled or hospitalized. The story was not on the homepages of the major news outlets I scan every morning - AP, UPI, BBC, Reuters, NPR, etc.
I can’t claim the vaccine caused all this destruction, only that the bad consequences occurred after the vaccine was administered. Even if causation can’t be proven, 1,700 adverse reactions ought to give any thinking person pause when considering whether or not to get the vaccine themselves. But the Left and big news outlets don’t want you to think for yourself. They just want you to fall in line.
The withholding of information fits a pattern of the Left. They never want to talk about the bad stuff. Their policies have adverse consequences, but the Left and its complicit media never present the other side of the ledger, or give a balanced perspective. They just pound their narrative - Pravda has spoken.
Here are three other examples, all from healthcare. On Obamacare, major media never discussed the millions of people who couldn’t keep their doctor or their plan. Medicaid expansion - they never talked about how enrollment blew up in state after state, more than double what was projected overall. Single payer - they never talk about the rationing, the cost overruns, or the death by waiting in single payer countries like Canada. All you hear about is how wonderful the Left’s programs will be. And all your hearing about now is how wonderful things will be when Joe Biden ramps up administration of the COVID vaccine. Wonderful? Not for the unlucky ones.
Which brings me to my main point: If you’re not consciously seeking out both sides of the story, you’re an ignorant fool. If you are not evaluating both sides of the story, your process is deficient. That goes for evaluating public policy issues and important personal decisions like the vaccine. If you’re not getting both sides of the story, you are easily manipulated and don’t even realize when you’re being snookered for somebody else’s purposes.
I’m not telling you not to get vaccinated. That’s a personal choice. But I am saying go in with your eyes open and realize you might be one of the unlucky ones who will end up hospitalized, disabled, or worse after receiving the vaccine. Remember, the vaccine is experimental. It was approved for emergency use after a quick look-see. It was not given a full evaluation like other new drugs in the United States.
There is a vaccine I do recommend, however. lt’s called getting both sides of the story. It will inoculate you from the Left and big media turning you into their plaything.
1/15/21 - Trump and the Dead Pope Trial
The Democrat-controlled House rushed to impeach President Trump, but the Senate is not likely to conclude a trial before Trump leaves office. If Trump is to be found guilty of inciting violence at the Capitol, the verdict will most likely have to wait until after Trump is gone.
The Democrats’ escapade calls to mind the Dead Pope Trial in Rome in 897. People hated the dead Pope, Formosus, so much that a subsequent Pope dug up his corpse and brought it to the papal court for trial. I kid you not. Formosus Derangement Syndrome was the order of the day. Pontiff-Man Bad.
So they propped the dead body up on a throne and his accusers took turns screaming at him. This made the accusers feel, oh so much, better. The corpse was duly found guilty and stripped of papal vestments. The current Pope then cut three fingers off the corpse’s right hand which had been used in life to dispense blessings. All of the dead Pope’s acts in life were declared null and void. The body was then reburied in a cemetery for foreigners, but was dug up, weighted down, and thrown into the river. Righteous justice was done. Not only that, he could never run for Pope again.
But here’s what happened next. The trial turned public opinion against the current Pope. Formosus’ body washed up and people said it started to perform miracles. The current Pope was deposed and imprisoned where he was strangled. The Dead Pope Trial was annulled. Formosus was rehabilitated and his body buried in St. Peter’s Basilica in full papal regalia. Seven cardinals who were involved in the Dead Pope trial were excommunicated from the Church. Any future trial of a corpse was forbidden.
So, I humbly submit to you, holding an impeachment trial after he leaves office is too good for Donald Trump. Let’s wait until he dies so we can prop him up in the Oval Office and scream at him some more. That would be the only fitting punishment for a man who dared to go to Washington and challenge our corrupt elites.
1/14/21 - Antifa Still At It - Countermobilization Required
A lot of people think Antifa has gone dormant and is no longer a threat after rioting all last summer. Hate to break it to you, but Antifa is still active and not going away. Joe Biden taking over doesn’t change that.
Antifa has rioted for at least three nights in Portland so far this year. They attempted to break into a police station with rocks and other weapons.
Antifa marched in riot gear on New York City streets earlier this month, claiming to own the streets.
The Antifa group ShutDownDC went to the home of Senator Josh Hawley, screaming threats at his family through bullhorns, pounding on the doors, and vandalizing property. Prior to this incident, ShutDownDC issued a threat to a Trump election lawyer.
According to Andy Ngo, himself a victim of Antifa violence, “An antifa group booked 16 rooms at a budget motel near Seattle. They paid for one night. When it came time to check out, they all refused. They want money defunded from police to pay the growing bill. Meanwhile, the motel owner is begging [the] city for help.”
Antifa members are not peaceful protesters. They are insurgents, insurrectionists, and revolutionaries. Operationally, they are about 60 percent Marxist and the rest a combination of anarchy and constantly evolving tactics. They are well-funded with donors large and small, and ties to the criminal world. They have been caught on video training their troops to gouge people’s eyes out. They are a threat to the American government, the American people, and the American way of life.
As the stories I mentioned show, they are not stopping but continuing to build and attack. They can be defeated, but it will take citizen engagement to do it. What can ordinary citizens do? Lots of things. Get educated. Tell your children and family members Antifa is up to no good. There is anecdotal evidence this is proving very effective. Turn out in droves to support your local law enforcement if Antifa shows up in your town demanding the police chief resign. Antifa did this in a town in Washington state, but local citizens rallied to the police chief’s defense and Antifa was defeated. This is just the beginning of what ordinary people can do. I’ll have more to say about this in future commentaries.
One final word: the bad actors were called ‘Antifa’ in the news reports I mentioned. There is always the question were they really Antifa or some other group. If someone would like to show me these people were not Antifa, please do.
1/13/21 - Potential Corruption in the Biden Administration Bears Watching
A story in the news today sounds a theme that can bring down governments - corruption. Ferdinand Marcos was deposed in the Philippines in 1986 for corruption. He is not the only world leader brought down by people power, people upset by corruption in their government.
It was reported today Joe Biden’s pick for Labor Secretary Marty Walsh was involved in a federal probe of union strong-arm tactics some years ago. Walsh was not indicted, but he was caught in a wiretap admitting he threatened a company that refused to hire union workers. This was while Walsh was head of a construction union council in Boston.
While this may sound like small potatoes, remember that Joe Biden had a lot to do with President Obama’s corrupt clean energy plan, Including overseeing the disastrous $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra which went bankrupt. Biden now wants to spend $1.7 trillion on clean energy projects in his new administration. The Solyndra-era green energy scandals resulted in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars lost and a hundred criminal investigations. If behavior predicts behavior, we will soon be engulfed in a new era of Biden administration green energy scandals.
Then there are the allegations Joe Biden used family members to help him sell his office as Vice President - allegations about Hunter Biden’s sweetheart business deals in China and Ukraine, with big payments reserved for ‘the Big Guy’, Joe Biden. The FBI found enough in some of these allegations to start an investigation.
You put all these facts together and you have more than enough to conclude the incoming Biden administration has high potential for corruption and will warrant close scrutiny. I, for one, intend to watch it like a hawk.
1/12/21 - Coronavirus Lies and Politics (But I Repeat Myself)
A story about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo shows how ‘follow the science’ has become ‘follow the politics’ when it comes to coronavirus. Cuomo said: “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.” This comes one week before Joe Biden’s inauguration. How convenient. Some observers even say you can count on the pandemic to be officially over on January 20th. After that, it will no longer dominate the news, because they won’t need it. Trump will be gone and they won’t need to kick him around anymore, not on this subject, at least.
Yes, coronavirus is spiking again and, tragically, people are dying. But it’s spiking in New York, too. So Cuomo’s change of heart is transparently political. If you want us to take you seriously, stop being so transparently political.
And, oh by the way, if you want us to take you seriously, stop lying to us. Lots of stories about politicians cooking the books on coronavirus have piled up since I reported to you on this subject last. Here are just a few:
The FDA admitted the COVID PCR test gives lots of false positive results. This leads to spectacular headlines about a supposed rising number of so-called COVD cases, but we’re being set up for a miraculous fall in cases under the Biden administration simply by changing the way the test is administered to eliminate false positives.
CDC COVID death numbers include injuries, poisonings, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer, and heart attacks.
People with breathing problems due to anxiety are counted as COVID cases in New York hospitals.
A county coroner in Colorado questioned the state’s COVID death numbers after finding that 40 percent of the supposed COVID deaths in her area were actually caused by gunshot wounds.
Lawmakers in Minnesota called for a full audit after discovering 800 supposed COVID deaths recorded by the state did not have COVID listed as the actual cause of death.
To everyone who has lost loved ones from COVID, my condolences. To the political animals jiggering the death numbers, stop playing politics with our lives if you want us to take you and your public health measures seriously.
1/11/21 - Twitter’s Days of Rage
If you can remember all the way back to three days ago - before all the other deplatformings over the weekend, Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account. I want to zero in on one of the reasons Twitter gave, because it’s very troubling for what it portends for free expression in this country.
Twitter said, "After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence."
Specifically how they are being received and interpreted.... There’s a name for that in First Amendment free speech jurisprudence - the heckler’s veto. A heckler’s veto is when the government restricts speech because of the anticipated or actual reactions of the opponents of the speech. The Supreme Court found that unconstitutional in a 1949 case called Terminiello. The speaker had been convicted of breach of the peace because of rioting before, during, and after a controversial speech. The Supreme Court vacated the conviction, but upheld a conviction in a similar case two years later after police had asked the speaker three times to stop speaking to a crowd that was getting restive.
So fine shadings of fact can change the result but, generally speaking, allowing hecklers to shut down speech is inconsistent with the First Amendment. Here’s the reason why: if you allow hecklers to shut down speech by backing up their complaints with the force of law, you incentivize people to threaten violence just to shut down any speech they don’t like.
There’s a legal school of thought where the heckler’s veto is celebrated and upheld. That school of thought is sharia law. You can’t draw a cartoon of Muhammad because it will spark Days of Rage in Pakistan. Sharia law doesn’t believe in free speech, but America does, at least up to this point.
Just to be clear, Twitter is not the government, so deplatforming Trump does not violate his First Amendment rights. My point is that Twitter justified banning Trump based on the reactions and discontents of others, which means that the heckler’s veto is gaining acceptance in popular thought and threatening free expression, generally. Do you really want to live in a country where you are not free to speak your mind just because somebody who doesn’t like you threatens to react badly? A country where the heckler gets to speak but you don’t? Think about it. We have free speech in this country for very good reasons and we shouldn’t lose sight of them.
1/8/21 - Keep Your Eye on the Ball
The Left has a track record of creating distractions to stop discussion of things they don’t want you to think about. There was a lot of discussion about how this election was stolen, but now all we hear is Democrats, leftists, and controlled opposition Republicans clucking about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. I’m not taking the bait. Especially when there are indications the attack was a BLM/Antifa false flag operation. If that possibility hasn’t occurred to you, you’re naïve. And I don’t have a lot of patience for people who shed crocodile tears for the Rule of Law after failing to mention the Rule of Law at all during an entire summer of Left-wing rampage. Cities burned and virtually nobody on the Left said ‘boo’ about it.
So I have a few more things to say about election fraud before I go back to other topics.
We were warned. Jimmy Carter and James Baker headed up a bipartisan commission on election reform in 2005. They wrote a report urging all states to adopt voter ID laws, not use mail-in balloting, outlaw ballot harvesting by third parties, and clean up their voter rolls. They also said election observers should be allowed to monitor ballot-counting unhindered, and that electronic voting machines should be accurate. The Left must have taken all this as a roadmap because all these vectors to fraud cast a cloud over the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, the political Right fell down on the job and steadily allowed election integrity to deteriorate to the point we now have half the country calling Joe Biden an illegitimate president because of election fraud.
The fraud we saw this time around is a result of the Democrats’ deliberate strategy to weaken election safeguards. They filed almost 300 lawsuits all over the country, including the key battleground states, to institute universal mail-in balloting without legislative authority, loosen the restrictions on mail-in balloting, extend early voting, eliminate signature verification and witness requirements, ramp up ballot harvesting, get rid of voter ID laws, and allow Democrat voters to cure defects in their mail-in ballots. It’s as if Democrats read the 2005 bipartisan report as a manual on how to steal elections.
One key reform I am exploring is the common sense idea of issuing numbered ballots and instituting internal controls to track the disposition of every single one. With numbered ballots, you couldn’t have thousands of fake ballots trucked in from out of state or China in the middle of the night. Like I said, common sense. A proposal for numbered ballots will soon be put forth in North Dakota. The ballots would be pre-numbered in a range only the state would know, preventing others from printing ballots and shipping them in. Voters can go to a state website the next day, put in their number, and view their ballot to make sure it was recorded correctly. Sounds like common sense to me. My election integrity group is putting together a short list of election reforms all uncorrupted people can get behind and numbered ballots may be high on the list.
1/7/21 - Only One Reason (Election Fraud)
The election may be over, but I’m not done talking about election fraud, not by a long shot.
The claim is being made mail-in ballots were received in the 2020 election that were filled in by machine, not individuals as they are supposed to be. If true, it would be another dimension of election fraud. Where are the internal controls that would prevent processing ballots filled in by machine?
Voter data shows over 4,700 absentee voters in the presidential election in Georgia gave non-residential locations for their address. Why are voters allowed to register at non-residential addresses? Can you say with any confidence they are real voters? Or is there a real possibility they are phony made-up voters whose only purpose is to steal elections?
Absentee ballots were also a problem in Wisconsin. Many were accepted without the proper information required on the certificates. This is illegal.
Wisconsin also eliminated safeguards when it mailed ballots to nursing homes, instead of having voting deputies deliver them in person. Democrats have a long history of committing voter fraud in nursing homes.
Why is government doing such a bad job on elections? Why do Democrats want to tear up every election safeguard they can? Two excellent questions, and they’re not going away.
Earlier this week, I argued there is only one reason Democrats want to dismantle voter ID and other election safeguards. They want to steal elections. I listened as President Trump said exactly the same thing to the crowd at the rally in Washington yesterday:
“There’s only one reason the Democrats could possibly want to eliminate signature matching, oppose voter ID and stop citizenship confirmation.... Because they want to steal the election.”
He went on to say: “We want voter ID by the way. But no longer is there signature verification, 11 days before the election! They say, ‘We don’t want it.’ You know why they don’t want it? Because they want to cheat. That’s the only reason.”
The Democrats have been telling us for years that anyone interested in election integrity is trying to suppress votes. That’s crazy-talk. Here’s the issue as I see it: Why do Democrats want to strip away every election safeguard they can get their hands on? There’s only one reason. They want to steal elections. That’s the issue, and its past time the Democrats speak to it. Tell us why it’s a good thing not to ask voters for identification, not to verify signatures, and for everyone to vote even if they’re not eligible. Why is that a good thing, Democrats? Let’s hear it. Let’s hear you defend the indefensible.
1/5/21 - Invasion of the Election Snatchers
Today we take a look at more evidence the election snatchers don’t want you to see, then wrap up with a comment about the inability of our institutions to deal with stolen elections.
More than 12,000 more mail-in ballots were returned in Pennsylvania than were officially sent out. How is that possible?
Multiple absentee ballots returned in Houston all had the same signature and the same address. If there’s an innocent explanation for that, I’d like to hear it.
After the forensic examination showing a 68 percent error rate in the Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, there was an audit by the Michigan Secretary of State’s office. During the audit, it was observed there were fewer ballots in the bin than were reported in a previous recount. A representative of the Secretary of State’s office then pulled out a bag of spoiled ballots and told audit volunteers to count them. This was recorded on video, as was the representative’s demand that the volunteers count over a hundred ballots that all had the same signature. Otherwise, the process couldn’t move forward, the representative said. Huh? What?
These three stories reinforce several conclusions about our electoral process. First, it’s a complete mess, another example of government doing its usual bad job at everything. Second, the process is broken and badly in need of reform. Where are the internal controls that would prevent counting more mail-in ballots than were sent out? Third, you are living the consequences of the Democrats shredding every election safeguard they can get their hands on. Attacking voter ID laws and dispensing with signature requirements - these are recipes for wholesale fraud and stolen elections.
Finally, it’s now abundantly clear our institutions are not any good at handling contested elections, and that’s another reason not to dismantle election safeguards. Fewer safeguards, more contested elections and distrust of election results, it’s that simple. Secretaries of State and state election boards are too partisan to be honest brokers. Courts don’t want to get involved in deciding elections, and maybe that’s a good thing. They’ll tell you you’re too early or too late with your complaints. They’ll refuse to look at the evidence or apply standard legal doctrine. Evidence is supposed to be viewed in the most favorable light and all inferences drawn in favor of the plaintiff to get past a motion to dismiss, but courts are intellectually dishonest and perform judicial backflips to shut election contests down. State legislatures won’t invoke their constitutional powers to decertify fraudulent results. They take the coward’s way out and just hold hearings, instead. And they have to be dragged kicking and screaming just to do that much. Congress critters make a big show and huff and puff a lot, but they aren’t serious. After the contested election of 1876, a commission was appointed and decided the next President, but making up new institutions on the spot is not a good answer. The only real answer is to keep election safeguards in place. The fewer contested elections the better. So says me, but I’m not just yakking. I’ve gathered a small group of people to start working on a short list of electoral reforms that should draw broad public support, and I will have more to say about this effort in the future.
1/4/21 - The Okefenokee Swamp
I have zero confidence we will see a free and fair election in Georgia tomorrow. I will lay out the evidence of election fraud in Georgia reported over the holidays but, before I do, let me quickly list three round-ups of evidence from around the country, if you want to know just how silly the people who say there is no evidence of election fraud sound.
A round-up at FrontPage Mag describes how 100,000 absentee and mail-in ballots were returned one day after, the same day, and even before they were supposedly sent out in Pennsylvania. Tell me how that’s possible in a free and fair election.
A round-up at Economic War Room recalled how Barack Obama, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Chris Matthews all warned about the dangers of mail-in balloting without safeguards like signature verification. So why were safeguards deliberately removed for the 2020 election?
A group of independent scientists and experts reviewed the evidence and found unusual and unexplained vote dumps, all in favor of Joe Biden, occurring in 14 states. Where’s the innocent explanation for that? I haven’t seen it yet.
Now on to Georgia.
Election workers in Georgia were caught on video running ballots through machines several times. What’s the innocent explanation for this? Let’s hear it.
Authorities picked up and shredded fake ballots from a warehouse in Georgia, but not before investigative journalists managed to take samples and photos of the ballots. The Arizona firm that sent the fake ballots to Georgia has close ties to the Democrat Party. The fake ballots were addressed to an election official tied to the supposed water main break used to justify stopping the vote count and also to the termination of an election whistleblower.
Georgia officials still have not produced chain of custody documents for 600,000 absentee ballots put in 300 drop boxes around the state. This does not exactly inspire confidence in the run-off elections, since the same procedures will be used tomorrow.
A judge who is Stacey Abrams’ sister ruled that Georgians who have moved can still vote from their old address. The ruling is not surprising, given that Democrats shred every election safeguard they can get their hands on. It means that thousands of voters who have likely moved to other states will stay on Georgia’s voter rolls in tomorrow’s run-off elections. If that isn’t an invitation to voter fraud, I don’t know what is.
Several witnesses testified in a hearing in Georgia that Democrats altered military ballots to cheat in the 2020 election. Where’s the innocent explanation for that?
The Georgia Senate Election Subcommittee unanimously concluded that the "November 3, 2020 election was chaotic and the results cannot be trusted."
What on earth is going on in Georgia? Is it corruption as has been alleged, or just the government doing its usual bad job at everything?
This is why it burns my cork to hear powerful nincompoops like Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper call people who challenge obviously fraudulent election results “arsonists” and ‘seditious’. Here’s what’s seditious: systematically dismantling every election safeguard you can. There’s only one reason you would want to do that - to steal elections. Only one reason state officials would change all the rules without legislative authority before the election. Only one reason why Democrats in Virginia would get rid of the state’s voter ID law. Only one reason to throw Republican election observers out of the vote counting center in Detroit. Only one reason to bully nursing home residents into voting for Biden against their will. Only one reason to implement a pervasive cash-for-votes scheme in Ilhan Omar’s district directed by her staff. Only one reason to adopt voting machines that have used to steal elections in other countries. Only one reason to use voting machines that automatically generate a 68 percent error rate you can fill in any way you want. Only one reason: You want to steal elections, plain and simple. But here’s my message to you, as I’ve said before - it’s a banana republic, if you can keep it.
Joe Biden is sworn in as President today. There will be a lot of suffering over the next four years, because Joe Biden’s policies will hurt people.
He has already indicated he will kill the Keystone pipeline. This will kill jobs in the United States and Canada.
Biden wants a $15 an hour federal minimum wage. This will kill 3.7 million jobs, CBO has said. Many small businesses, already teetering because of COVID, will be forced to close, throwing low-income Americans out of work. Other companies are laying plans to raise consumer prices, cut hours for remaining workers, and automate others out of their jobs in the future.
Biden will not look as hard for illegal aliens who overstay their visas and he will increase the number of refugees allowed into the country, putting added pressure on low-skilled Americans who are trying to find jobs.
Biden’s agency picks have announced they will ladle on new regulations on financial companies. There will be new requirements to report political spending, supposed climate change risk, and the racial composition of their workforce - all backed up with stiff enforcement penalties. All of this will stifle innovation and new financial products hurting us all. Investors, especially, are expected to take a hit.
Biden has said he will make student loan forgiveness a priority. Well-off people will benefit disproportionately, meaning lower income people will get the short end of the stick. It also means that Joe and Jane Lunchpail who do not have college degrees will see their tax dollars go to subsidize well-off people who do. Doesn’t sound fair to me.
In general, look for higher taxes and more business regulation under the Biden administration. You may not like it, but the tried-and-true Republican formula of lower taxes and less regulation really does work, as we saw under the Trump administration. With higher taxes and more regulation under Biden, you can say goodbye to rising wages and historically low unemployment for disadvantaged groups.
People flee higher taxes and more regulation. Over 13,000 companies left California between 2008 and 2016, citing lower business taxes and less regulation as reasons for moving elsewhere.
Joe Biden wants to impose higher taxes and more regulation on the entire country. This is not going to end well. Why would you deliberately adopt policies you know will hurt people? I feel like I’m trapped on a desert island with a crazy person, already.
1/19/21 - Election Fraud: More Evidence and Consequences
The pace of news about election fraud has slowed down, thankfully. Now the real work of analyzing what happened and how to assure free and fair elections going forward can begin. But today I go over the most recent stories describing the state of the evidence of election fraud in the November election, evidence that the major news outlets ignored and the Democrats want to sweep under the rug.
There’s a video showing election officials in Atlanta having a very strange conversation about ‘needing 3,000’, ‘pulling out boxes’, ‘unlocking the machines’, and ‘doing our thing’. If everything were on the up and up, they wouldn’t be having this conversation.
There’s a photo of a Wisconsin absentee ballot where the voter signature and the witness signature are the same. The ballot was counted.
That’s just a single vote, you say? Well, Trump advisor Peter Navarro published Parts 2 and 3 of his report describing mountains of evidence of election fraud.
Part 3 analyzes statistical anomalies in the election results. Part 2 describes various strategies the Democrats used to game the election, strategies like ballot harvesting and removing election safeguards.
Of greater interest for present purposes is Part 1 which talks about the bribery, fake ballots, elder abuse, ineligible voters, people who voted in multiple states, dead voters, and counting ballots multiple times - all occurring in key states.
Saying there is no evidence of election fraud isn’t going to cut it. You have half the country thinking the election was stolen. The other half that likes the result had better start seriously thinking about what it would really mean to live - and suffer - under one-party rule. If one party can rig every election in the future using techniques they perfected in 2020, then the first question will be how bad the corruption is going to get. I’ll take up the unlivable consequences of one-party rule in future commentaries.
1/18/21 - COVID Vaccine: The Other Side of the Story
An important story came in over the weekend, but I didn’t see hide nor hair of it on major media outlets. 44 people in the United States have died after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, so far. Another 1,700 have been permanently disabled or hospitalized. The story was not on the homepages of the major news outlets I scan every morning - AP, UPI, BBC, Reuters, NPR, etc.
I can’t claim the vaccine caused all this destruction, only that the bad consequences occurred after the vaccine was administered. Even if causation can’t be proven, 1,700 adverse reactions ought to give any thinking person pause when considering whether or not to get the vaccine themselves. But the Left and big news outlets don’t want you to think for yourself. They just want you to fall in line.
The withholding of information fits a pattern of the Left. They never want to talk about the bad stuff. Their policies have adverse consequences, but the Left and its complicit media never present the other side of the ledger, or give a balanced perspective. They just pound their narrative - Pravda has spoken.
Here are three other examples, all from healthcare. On Obamacare, major media never discussed the millions of people who couldn’t keep their doctor or their plan. Medicaid expansion - they never talked about how enrollment blew up in state after state, more than double what was projected overall. Single payer - they never talk about the rationing, the cost overruns, or the death by waiting in single payer countries like Canada. All you hear about is how wonderful the Left’s programs will be. And all your hearing about now is how wonderful things will be when Joe Biden ramps up administration of the COVID vaccine. Wonderful? Not for the unlucky ones.
Which brings me to my main point: If you’re not consciously seeking out both sides of the story, you’re an ignorant fool. If you are not evaluating both sides of the story, your process is deficient. That goes for evaluating public policy issues and important personal decisions like the vaccine. If you’re not getting both sides of the story, you are easily manipulated and don’t even realize when you’re being snookered for somebody else’s purposes.
I’m not telling you not to get vaccinated. That’s a personal choice. But I am saying go in with your eyes open and realize you might be one of the unlucky ones who will end up hospitalized, disabled, or worse after receiving the vaccine. Remember, the vaccine is experimental. It was approved for emergency use after a quick look-see. It was not given a full evaluation like other new drugs in the United States.
There is a vaccine I do recommend, however. lt’s called getting both sides of the story. It will inoculate you from the Left and big media turning you into their plaything.
1/15/21 - Trump and the Dead Pope Trial
The Democrat-controlled House rushed to impeach President Trump, but the Senate is not likely to conclude a trial before Trump leaves office. If Trump is to be found guilty of inciting violence at the Capitol, the verdict will most likely have to wait until after Trump is gone.
The Democrats’ escapade calls to mind the Dead Pope Trial in Rome in 897. People hated the dead Pope, Formosus, so much that a subsequent Pope dug up his corpse and brought it to the papal court for trial. I kid you not. Formosus Derangement Syndrome was the order of the day. Pontiff-Man Bad.
So they propped the dead body up on a throne and his accusers took turns screaming at him. This made the accusers feel, oh so much, better. The corpse was duly found guilty and stripped of papal vestments. The current Pope then cut three fingers off the corpse’s right hand which had been used in life to dispense blessings. All of the dead Pope’s acts in life were declared null and void. The body was then reburied in a cemetery for foreigners, but was dug up, weighted down, and thrown into the river. Righteous justice was done. Not only that, he could never run for Pope again.
But here’s what happened next. The trial turned public opinion against the current Pope. Formosus’ body washed up and people said it started to perform miracles. The current Pope was deposed and imprisoned where he was strangled. The Dead Pope Trial was annulled. Formosus was rehabilitated and his body buried in St. Peter’s Basilica in full papal regalia. Seven cardinals who were involved in the Dead Pope trial were excommunicated from the Church. Any future trial of a corpse was forbidden.
So, I humbly submit to you, holding an impeachment trial after he leaves office is too good for Donald Trump. Let’s wait until he dies so we can prop him up in the Oval Office and scream at him some more. That would be the only fitting punishment for a man who dared to go to Washington and challenge our corrupt elites.
1/14/21 - Antifa Still At It - Countermobilization Required
A lot of people think Antifa has gone dormant and is no longer a threat after rioting all last summer. Hate to break it to you, but Antifa is still active and not going away. Joe Biden taking over doesn’t change that.
Antifa has rioted for at least three nights in Portland so far this year. They attempted to break into a police station with rocks and other weapons.
Antifa marched in riot gear on New York City streets earlier this month, claiming to own the streets.
The Antifa group ShutDownDC went to the home of Senator Josh Hawley, screaming threats at his family through bullhorns, pounding on the doors, and vandalizing property. Prior to this incident, ShutDownDC issued a threat to a Trump election lawyer.
According to Andy Ngo, himself a victim of Antifa violence, “An antifa group booked 16 rooms at a budget motel near Seattle. They paid for one night. When it came time to check out, they all refused. They want money defunded from police to pay the growing bill. Meanwhile, the motel owner is begging [the] city for help.”
Antifa members are not peaceful protesters. They are insurgents, insurrectionists, and revolutionaries. Operationally, they are about 60 percent Marxist and the rest a combination of anarchy and constantly evolving tactics. They are well-funded with donors large and small, and ties to the criminal world. They have been caught on video training their troops to gouge people’s eyes out. They are a threat to the American government, the American people, and the American way of life.
As the stories I mentioned show, they are not stopping but continuing to build and attack. They can be defeated, but it will take citizen engagement to do it. What can ordinary citizens do? Lots of things. Get educated. Tell your children and family members Antifa is up to no good. There is anecdotal evidence this is proving very effective. Turn out in droves to support your local law enforcement if Antifa shows up in your town demanding the police chief resign. Antifa did this in a town in Washington state, but local citizens rallied to the police chief’s defense and Antifa was defeated. This is just the beginning of what ordinary people can do. I’ll have more to say about this in future commentaries.
One final word: the bad actors were called ‘Antifa’ in the news reports I mentioned. There is always the question were they really Antifa or some other group. If someone would like to show me these people were not Antifa, please do.
1/13/21 - Potential Corruption in the Biden Administration Bears Watching
A story in the news today sounds a theme that can bring down governments - corruption. Ferdinand Marcos was deposed in the Philippines in 1986 for corruption. He is not the only world leader brought down by people power, people upset by corruption in their government.
It was reported today Joe Biden’s pick for Labor Secretary Marty Walsh was involved in a federal probe of union strong-arm tactics some years ago. Walsh was not indicted, but he was caught in a wiretap admitting he threatened a company that refused to hire union workers. This was while Walsh was head of a construction union council in Boston.
While this may sound like small potatoes, remember that Joe Biden had a lot to do with President Obama’s corrupt clean energy plan, Including overseeing the disastrous $535 million loan guarantee to Solyndra which went bankrupt. Biden now wants to spend $1.7 trillion on clean energy projects in his new administration. The Solyndra-era green energy scandals resulted in hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars lost and a hundred criminal investigations. If behavior predicts behavior, we will soon be engulfed in a new era of Biden administration green energy scandals.
Then there are the allegations Joe Biden used family members to help him sell his office as Vice President - allegations about Hunter Biden’s sweetheart business deals in China and Ukraine, with big payments reserved for ‘the Big Guy’, Joe Biden. The FBI found enough in some of these allegations to start an investigation.
You put all these facts together and you have more than enough to conclude the incoming Biden administration has high potential for corruption and will warrant close scrutiny. I, for one, intend to watch it like a hawk.
1/12/21 - Coronavirus Lies and Politics (But I Repeat Myself)
A story about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo shows how ‘follow the science’ has become ‘follow the politics’ when it comes to coronavirus. Cuomo said: “We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.” This comes one week before Joe Biden’s inauguration. How convenient. Some observers even say you can count on the pandemic to be officially over on January 20th. After that, it will no longer dominate the news, because they won’t need it. Trump will be gone and they won’t need to kick him around anymore, not on this subject, at least.
Yes, coronavirus is spiking again and, tragically, people are dying. But it’s spiking in New York, too. So Cuomo’s change of heart is transparently political. If you want us to take you seriously, stop being so transparently political.
And, oh by the way, if you want us to take you seriously, stop lying to us. Lots of stories about politicians cooking the books on coronavirus have piled up since I reported to you on this subject last. Here are just a few:
The FDA admitted the COVID PCR test gives lots of false positive results. This leads to spectacular headlines about a supposed rising number of so-called COVD cases, but we’re being set up for a miraculous fall in cases under the Biden administration simply by changing the way the test is administered to eliminate false positives.
CDC COVID death numbers include injuries, poisonings, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer, and heart attacks.
People with breathing problems due to anxiety are counted as COVID cases in New York hospitals.
A county coroner in Colorado questioned the state’s COVID death numbers after finding that 40 percent of the supposed COVID deaths in her area were actually caused by gunshot wounds.
Lawmakers in Minnesota called for a full audit after discovering 800 supposed COVID deaths recorded by the state did not have COVID listed as the actual cause of death.
To everyone who has lost loved ones from COVID, my condolences. To the political animals jiggering the death numbers, stop playing politics with our lives if you want us to take you and your public health measures seriously.
1/11/21 - Twitter’s Days of Rage
If you can remember all the way back to three days ago - before all the other deplatformings over the weekend, Twitter permanently suspended President Trump’s account. I want to zero in on one of the reasons Twitter gave, because it’s very troubling for what it portends for free expression in this country.
Twitter said, "After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them — specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter — we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence."
Specifically how they are being received and interpreted.... There’s a name for that in First Amendment free speech jurisprudence - the heckler’s veto. A heckler’s veto is when the government restricts speech because of the anticipated or actual reactions of the opponents of the speech. The Supreme Court found that unconstitutional in a 1949 case called Terminiello. The speaker had been convicted of breach of the peace because of rioting before, during, and after a controversial speech. The Supreme Court vacated the conviction, but upheld a conviction in a similar case two years later after police had asked the speaker three times to stop speaking to a crowd that was getting restive.
So fine shadings of fact can change the result but, generally speaking, allowing hecklers to shut down speech is inconsistent with the First Amendment. Here’s the reason why: if you allow hecklers to shut down speech by backing up their complaints with the force of law, you incentivize people to threaten violence just to shut down any speech they don’t like.
There’s a legal school of thought where the heckler’s veto is celebrated and upheld. That school of thought is sharia law. You can’t draw a cartoon of Muhammad because it will spark Days of Rage in Pakistan. Sharia law doesn’t believe in free speech, but America does, at least up to this point.
Just to be clear, Twitter is not the government, so deplatforming Trump does not violate his First Amendment rights. My point is that Twitter justified banning Trump based on the reactions and discontents of others, which means that the heckler’s veto is gaining acceptance in popular thought and threatening free expression, generally. Do you really want to live in a country where you are not free to speak your mind just because somebody who doesn’t like you threatens to react badly? A country where the heckler gets to speak but you don’t? Think about it. We have free speech in this country for very good reasons and we shouldn’t lose sight of them.
1/8/21 - Keep Your Eye on the Ball
The Left has a track record of creating distractions to stop discussion of things they don’t want you to think about. There was a lot of discussion about how this election was stolen, but now all we hear is Democrats, leftists, and controlled opposition Republicans clucking about the attack on the U.S. Capitol. I’m not taking the bait. Especially when there are indications the attack was a BLM/Antifa false flag operation. If that possibility hasn’t occurred to you, you’re naïve. And I don’t have a lot of patience for people who shed crocodile tears for the Rule of Law after failing to mention the Rule of Law at all during an entire summer of Left-wing rampage. Cities burned and virtually nobody on the Left said ‘boo’ about it.
So I have a few more things to say about election fraud before I go back to other topics.
We were warned. Jimmy Carter and James Baker headed up a bipartisan commission on election reform in 2005. They wrote a report urging all states to adopt voter ID laws, not use mail-in balloting, outlaw ballot harvesting by third parties, and clean up their voter rolls. They also said election observers should be allowed to monitor ballot-counting unhindered, and that electronic voting machines should be accurate. The Left must have taken all this as a roadmap because all these vectors to fraud cast a cloud over the 2020 election results. Meanwhile, the political Right fell down on the job and steadily allowed election integrity to deteriorate to the point we now have half the country calling Joe Biden an illegitimate president because of election fraud.
The fraud we saw this time around is a result of the Democrats’ deliberate strategy to weaken election safeguards. They filed almost 300 lawsuits all over the country, including the key battleground states, to institute universal mail-in balloting without legislative authority, loosen the restrictions on mail-in balloting, extend early voting, eliminate signature verification and witness requirements, ramp up ballot harvesting, get rid of voter ID laws, and allow Democrat voters to cure defects in their mail-in ballots. It’s as if Democrats read the 2005 bipartisan report as a manual on how to steal elections.
One key reform I am exploring is the common sense idea of issuing numbered ballots and instituting internal controls to track the disposition of every single one. With numbered ballots, you couldn’t have thousands of fake ballots trucked in from out of state or China in the middle of the night. Like I said, common sense. A proposal for numbered ballots will soon be put forth in North Dakota. The ballots would be pre-numbered in a range only the state would know, preventing others from printing ballots and shipping them in. Voters can go to a state website the next day, put in their number, and view their ballot to make sure it was recorded correctly. Sounds like common sense to me. My election integrity group is putting together a short list of election reforms all uncorrupted people can get behind and numbered ballots may be high on the list.
1/7/21 - Only One Reason (Election Fraud)
The election may be over, but I’m not done talking about election fraud, not by a long shot.
The claim is being made mail-in ballots were received in the 2020 election that were filled in by machine, not individuals as they are supposed to be. If true, it would be another dimension of election fraud. Where are the internal controls that would prevent processing ballots filled in by machine?
Voter data shows over 4,700 absentee voters in the presidential election in Georgia gave non-residential locations for their address. Why are voters allowed to register at non-residential addresses? Can you say with any confidence they are real voters? Or is there a real possibility they are phony made-up voters whose only purpose is to steal elections?
Absentee ballots were also a problem in Wisconsin. Many were accepted without the proper information required on the certificates. This is illegal.
Wisconsin also eliminated safeguards when it mailed ballots to nursing homes, instead of having voting deputies deliver them in person. Democrats have a long history of committing voter fraud in nursing homes.
Why is government doing such a bad job on elections? Why do Democrats want to tear up every election safeguard they can? Two excellent questions, and they’re not going away.
Earlier this week, I argued there is only one reason Democrats want to dismantle voter ID and other election safeguards. They want to steal elections. I listened as President Trump said exactly the same thing to the crowd at the rally in Washington yesterday:
“There’s only one reason the Democrats could possibly want to eliminate signature matching, oppose voter ID and stop citizenship confirmation.... Because they want to steal the election.”
He went on to say: “We want voter ID by the way. But no longer is there signature verification, 11 days before the election! They say, ‘We don’t want it.’ You know why they don’t want it? Because they want to cheat. That’s the only reason.”
The Democrats have been telling us for years that anyone interested in election integrity is trying to suppress votes. That’s crazy-talk. Here’s the issue as I see it: Why do Democrats want to strip away every election safeguard they can get their hands on? There’s only one reason. They want to steal elections. That’s the issue, and its past time the Democrats speak to it. Tell us why it’s a good thing not to ask voters for identification, not to verify signatures, and for everyone to vote even if they’re not eligible. Why is that a good thing, Democrats? Let’s hear it. Let’s hear you defend the indefensible.
1/5/21 - Invasion of the Election Snatchers
Today we take a look at more evidence the election snatchers don’t want you to see, then wrap up with a comment about the inability of our institutions to deal with stolen elections.
More than 12,000 more mail-in ballots were returned in Pennsylvania than were officially sent out. How is that possible?
Multiple absentee ballots returned in Houston all had the same signature and the same address. If there’s an innocent explanation for that, I’d like to hear it.
After the forensic examination showing a 68 percent error rate in the Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, there was an audit by the Michigan Secretary of State’s office. During the audit, it was observed there were fewer ballots in the bin than were reported in a previous recount. A representative of the Secretary of State’s office then pulled out a bag of spoiled ballots and told audit volunteers to count them. This was recorded on video, as was the representative’s demand that the volunteers count over a hundred ballots that all had the same signature. Otherwise, the process couldn’t move forward, the representative said. Huh? What?
These three stories reinforce several conclusions about our electoral process. First, it’s a complete mess, another example of government doing its usual bad job at everything. Second, the process is broken and badly in need of reform. Where are the internal controls that would prevent counting more mail-in ballots than were sent out? Third, you are living the consequences of the Democrats shredding every election safeguard they can get their hands on. Attacking voter ID laws and dispensing with signature requirements - these are recipes for wholesale fraud and stolen elections.
Finally, it’s now abundantly clear our institutions are not any good at handling contested elections, and that’s another reason not to dismantle election safeguards. Fewer safeguards, more contested elections and distrust of election results, it’s that simple. Secretaries of State and state election boards are too partisan to be honest brokers. Courts don’t want to get involved in deciding elections, and maybe that’s a good thing. They’ll tell you you’re too early or too late with your complaints. They’ll refuse to look at the evidence or apply standard legal doctrine. Evidence is supposed to be viewed in the most favorable light and all inferences drawn in favor of the plaintiff to get past a motion to dismiss, but courts are intellectually dishonest and perform judicial backflips to shut election contests down. State legislatures won’t invoke their constitutional powers to decertify fraudulent results. They take the coward’s way out and just hold hearings, instead. And they have to be dragged kicking and screaming just to do that much. Congress critters make a big show and huff and puff a lot, but they aren’t serious. After the contested election of 1876, a commission was appointed and decided the next President, but making up new institutions on the spot is not a good answer. The only real answer is to keep election safeguards in place. The fewer contested elections the better. So says me, but I’m not just yakking. I’ve gathered a small group of people to start working on a short list of electoral reforms that should draw broad public support, and I will have more to say about this effort in the future.
1/4/21 - The Okefenokee Swamp
I have zero confidence we will see a free and fair election in Georgia tomorrow. I will lay out the evidence of election fraud in Georgia reported over the holidays but, before I do, let me quickly list three round-ups of evidence from around the country, if you want to know just how silly the people who say there is no evidence of election fraud sound.
A round-up at FrontPage Mag describes how 100,000 absentee and mail-in ballots were returned one day after, the same day, and even before they were supposedly sent out in Pennsylvania. Tell me how that’s possible in a free and fair election.
A round-up at Economic War Room recalled how Barack Obama, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Chris Matthews all warned about the dangers of mail-in balloting without safeguards like signature verification. So why were safeguards deliberately removed for the 2020 election?
A group of independent scientists and experts reviewed the evidence and found unusual and unexplained vote dumps, all in favor of Joe Biden, occurring in 14 states. Where’s the innocent explanation for that? I haven’t seen it yet.
Now on to Georgia.
Election workers in Georgia were caught on video running ballots through machines several times. What’s the innocent explanation for this? Let’s hear it.
Authorities picked up and shredded fake ballots from a warehouse in Georgia, but not before investigative journalists managed to take samples and photos of the ballots. The Arizona firm that sent the fake ballots to Georgia has close ties to the Democrat Party. The fake ballots were addressed to an election official tied to the supposed water main break used to justify stopping the vote count and also to the termination of an election whistleblower.
Georgia officials still have not produced chain of custody documents for 600,000 absentee ballots put in 300 drop boxes around the state. This does not exactly inspire confidence in the run-off elections, since the same procedures will be used tomorrow.
A judge who is Stacey Abrams’ sister ruled that Georgians who have moved can still vote from their old address. The ruling is not surprising, given that Democrats shred every election safeguard they can get their hands on. It means that thousands of voters who have likely moved to other states will stay on Georgia’s voter rolls in tomorrow’s run-off elections. If that isn’t an invitation to voter fraud, I don’t know what is.
Several witnesses testified in a hearing in Georgia that Democrats altered military ballots to cheat in the 2020 election. Where’s the innocent explanation for that?
The Georgia Senate Election Subcommittee unanimously concluded that the "November 3, 2020 election was chaotic and the results cannot be trusted."
What on earth is going on in Georgia? Is it corruption as has been alleged, or just the government doing its usual bad job at everything?
This is why it burns my cork to hear powerful nincompoops like Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper call people who challenge obviously fraudulent election results “arsonists” and ‘seditious’. Here’s what’s seditious: systematically dismantling every election safeguard you can. There’s only one reason you would want to do that - to steal elections. Only one reason state officials would change all the rules without legislative authority before the election. Only one reason why Democrats in Virginia would get rid of the state’s voter ID law. Only one reason to throw Republican election observers out of the vote counting center in Detroit. Only one reason to bully nursing home residents into voting for Biden against their will. Only one reason to implement a pervasive cash-for-votes scheme in Ilhan Omar’s district directed by her staff. Only one reason to adopt voting machines that have used to steal elections in other countries. Only one reason to use voting machines that automatically generate a 68 percent error rate you can fill in any way you want. Only one reason: You want to steal elections, plain and simple. But here’s my message to you, as I’ve said before - it’s a banana republic, if you can keep it.
12/18/20 - I Agree With Joe Biden and the Democrats
I promised to tell you today what Joe Biden really thinks of electronic voting machines. Before I get to that, let’s look at some more information that came in about the machines in the last 24 hours.
Peter Navarro, trade assistant to President Trump, issued a report finding evidence of voting machine irregularities in the six battleground states. (Table 2 - p. 6) These irregularities included “large-scale voting machine inaccuracies together with inexplicable vote switching and vote surges, often in favor [of] Joe Biden.” (p. 22)
Also in the last 24 hours, we learned Dominion’s software is not updated after information about security threats are received. Feel better, now?
Now for what Joe Biden said. In 2007, he was recorded saying, “... how are you going to keep it from us being able to be in a position where you can manipulate the machines, manipulate the records. The one way to do that is, I think we should pass a federal law mandating that the same machines with paper trails be mandatory for every federal election.... So, in a nutshell, I think we should be mandating, mandating that we have a paper ballot with the standardized machines.... “
So, there you have it. Joe Biden says these machines and these records can be manipulated and we should be mandating, MANDATING, that something be done about it. I agree with Joe Biden.
I also agree with the Democrats, ten percent of whom, when polled, say this was not a free and fair election.
I also agree with prominent Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar back when they were warning about vote-switching problems with the Dominion machines.
I also agree with Big Media, back when they were reporting honestly on the problems with these machines and how there aren’t any safeguards. Boy, has their tune changed. Now, all of a sudden, the machines are hunky-dory and now you don’t hear a whisper from Big Media about the problems with these machines.
So I agree with all these people, back before they realized they could use these machines to steal an entire presidential election and get that much closer to the heaven on earth they want to build for us rubes. Thank you, Joe Biden. Thank you, Elizabeth Warren. Thank you, PBS. Thank you all for showing me the error of my ways and that the ends really do justify the means, no matter how scurrilous.
12/17/20 - Election Fraud News Continues Unabated
The Senate Homeland Security Committee held a hearing yesterday on voting irregularities in the 2020 election. Chairman Ron Johnson said there is no doubt fraud occurred. OAN
One witness testified more than 42,000 people voted more than once in Nevada by using variations on their first name, such as “William” and “Bill”, or their maiden name. The witness also said at least 1,500 dead people and 19,000 nonresidents voted.
Another witness testified that 200,000 people improperly voted in Wisconsin, and that over 17,000 ballots were illegally received without supervision.
Former independent counsel Ken Starr criticized changes to election procedures that were not made by state legislatures, singling out Pennsylvania in this regard for what he called a “clear violation of law”.
Fired Director of Cyber Security Chris Krebs told the committee that some Dominion voting machines were connected to the Internet, which means they could easily be manipulated or hacked.
This last point was reinforced by testimony in a separate hearing in Michigan yesterday. Previously, Dominion’s CEO had minimized the possibility that Dominion machines were connected to the Internet. However, a witness in Michigan testified there is an audio recording of a Dominion training session in which Dominion admits all of its hardware is connected to the Internet.
The Dominion CEO also previously claimed security seals on Dominion machines make their ballot boxes secure, so hand recounts would resolve any questions about the results. However, the attorney in Michigan who oversaw the forensic examination of the machines in one county explained how his team found several seals to be broken, meaning data ports could have been accessed and results changed by thumb drive and, just as troubling, ballots could have been added or removed from the ballot boxes. There’s no way to tell what went on with the machines or the ballots where the seals were broken.
Apart from hearings, electronic voting machines made other news yesterday.
A tech expert explained how QR codes, though supposedly unique, don’t prevent the same ballot from being run through machines multiple times.
A fraud analyst found a two to three percent shift in favor of Democratic presidential candidates from 2008 to 2020 in counties that adopted Dominion voting machines, compared to counties that did not. The shift cannot be explained by other factors, leaving the conclusion that it was the Dominion machines themselves that artificially produced the shift.
Tomorrow, I will tell you what Joe Biden really thinks about these machines.
12/16/20 - Election Fraud: Facts and Riddles are Stubborn Things
Today, I give you some new facts regarding election fraud, and put out another call for somebody to explain the very odd behavior of electronic voting machines.
A comparison of DMV records and voter rolls showed 3,987 noncitizens voted in Nevada. There is also evidence in Nevada of people voting twice, dead voters, and out-of-state voters.
As shown in legislative testimony, a nursing home resident in Wisconsin wanted to vote for Trump but a staff member bullied her into voting for Biden.
Yesterday I reported that a forensic examination of voting machines in Michigan showed a 68.05 percent error rate and that the examiners concluded the error rate is deliberately high to create space for fraud. Later yesterday, it was reported that Dominion voting machines in Nevada also showed an error rate of around 70 percent. I detect a pattern here, don’t you?
In legislative testimony in Michigan, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems admitted that some Dominion machines can connect to the Internet. There were eyewitness accounts that some were, in Detroit, when they were not supposed to be. Connecting to the Internet means the machines can be manipulated by design or by hackers, foreign and domestic. The CEO claimed the machines in question were not connected to the Internet. However, there was testimony in Arizona that machines there were.
Those are the facts that came in yesterday. Now on to the mother of all riddles.
President Trump did well in the election except in four cities that proved decisive - Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta - four cities where there are numerous indications election fraud took place. When polls closed on November 3rd, he led by hundreds of thousands of votes. In the middle of the night, the key states stopped counting votes and reported impossibly huge spikes for Joe Biden when they came back online. After the spikes, the results from these states were always in the same ratio, slightly favoring Biden, to maintain the lead the middle-of-the-night vote dumps gave Biden. The same pattern repeated in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin.
What’s the innocent explanation for all this, if there is one? I’ve been asking this question for a while now. I scan a lot of news. I haven’t seen a good explanation for this odd machine behavior. In fact, I haven’t even seen anybody try. Instead, all we get is that Trump is trying to steal the election and people like me are conspiracy theorists and destroying democracy. The lady doth protest too much. I will be working with experts and activists to develop recommendations, starting with requiring open source software, to make sure this set of circumstances never happens again.
12/15/20 - Dominion Flunks Forensic Exam, Makes Chavez Proud
The results of the forensic examination of the Dominion Voting System in a Michigan county have been released. The findings are shocking, and should motivate anyone interested in free and fair elections into action. The cyber forensic analysts said:
Hiding evidence? Wow. Equally bad, "The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity."
A significant and fatal error in security and election integrity. The attorney who commissioned the report said all of this is no accident. This is a system deliberately designed to generate errors and affect the outcome of elections. OK, if that’s the way the Democrats and Republican sell-outs want to play, we’ll treat you accordingly. The Dominion system is in use in 28 states. Let’s make that 28 fewer the next time around. Open source software is the way to go. It will keep everybody honest.
12/14/20 - Proof Positive Dominion Voting Machines Are a Problem
More problems with electronic voting machines surfaced over the weekend.
A voting machine in Michigan showed 663 people voted in a local school board race in a district where there are only 6 registered voters. A court ordered a forensic examination of the county’s machine, but Michigan’s far-left Attorney General is trying to hide the results, making far-fetched claims about how that will damage election integrity in the future.
An elections official in Georgia showed on video how their electronic voting system can add votes, remove votes, and get their scanners to accept the same ballot more than once.
A federal judge in Georgia found major problems with Dominion voting systems in October. The court concluded there are:
The court went on to say:
All the gory details are in the judge’s 150-page opinion. While the judge declined to force major changes in the voting process so close to the November election, the point remains the same: a court has found, based on voluminous evidence, there are major problems with Dominion voting systems which are used in 28 states.
You don’t have to believe there was a raid on a server farm in Germany, or that Joe Biden used these machines to steal the election outright, or that China and Iran were involved, to realize there are some serious problems with these machines. The best idea I’ve heard on the subject is to get rid of the current software, move to open source software, and require every machine manufacturer to use it. This is one of the ideas I’ll be pursuing next year promote integrity in our elections. No more free ride, Democrats.
12/11/20 - Explain the Machines, Please (redux)
Today, as promised, I look at the claim that vote counting stopped in the middle of the night in key states, and the election was stolen by using electronic voting machines to add massive numbers of fake votes for Biden. My conclusion today is inconclusive, but does not let the Biden camp off the hook.
I looked at a USA Today fact-check and a Gateway Pundit article.
The fact-check was published the day after the election. It focused on hand-counting. It concluded there is no evidence Democrat-led swing states stopped hand-counting for no good reason. It says election officials knew it would take several days to count mail-in ballots. Claims that hand-counting stopped were either false or explained by a good reason. North Carolina stopped because it was finished. Hand-counting in Philadelphia never stopped, according to city officials who provided a live-stream at the time backing up their claim. Hand-counting in Detroit never stopped, according to the Detroit Free Press and the Michigan Secretary of State. Hand-counting in Fulton County, Georgia paused briefly, supposedly for a burst pipe, then resumed, with 74,000 absentee ballots counted that night, according to USA Today, although the absentee ballots in question are now viewed with extreme suspicion.
There was not a single word about voting machines in the USA Today fact-check. The Gateway Pundit article is all about voting machines, so the two sides of the argument are like ships passing in the night. They don’t really address each other.
Publishing a month after the election, Gateway Pundit examined voting machine logs and described what happened in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin as a ‘drop and roll’. First, the machines stopped counting while President Trump was ahead. Second, entries were made in the logs reducing vote totals. Third, massive numbers of votes were added for Biden to put him in the lead - the ‘drop’. Finally, every entry made thereafter was in the exact same ratio, slightly favoring Biden over Trump, to maintain Biden’s margin of victory - the ‘roll’. A video accompanying the article purports to show actual machine log entries backing all this up.
It has been claimed that vote totals going down is prima facie evidence of fraud. In order to add votes for Biden, votes had to be removed from Trump to keep the final vote total lower than the number of registered voters. However, I’ve seen one possible explanation for this. Sometimes, entries are reversed and votes subtracted because reported results in some areas can’t be verified. Maybe, but it seems silly to put results in the system before they are verified. The Gateway Pundit article itself refers to reversing entries that are in the exact same amount as previous entries.
But I haven’t seen any explanations for the other points Gateway Pundit makes. Where did all these massive votes for Biden come from? Why were those entries in a completely different ratio heavily favoring Biden when all previous entries showed Trump winning? Why were all subsequent entries in the same exact ratio slightly favoring Biden? That’s impossible.
So my conclusion today is inconclusive. But until somebody can answer the Gateway Pundit’s excellent questions, I’m going to operate under the assumption the election was stolen. The burden is on the Biden camp, now, to explain all this very odd machine behavior. Also, as I reported yesterday, a former Venezuelan official said this is exactly how elections were rigged in that country - the machines stopped and fake votes were added to the pre-selected winner. So here we have a proven method with a track record of stealing elections apparently taking place on our election night with no innocent explanation even offered. And you want everybody to stop asking questions and unite around our new President Joe Biden? No way, not gonna happen. Joe Biden has admitted on video running the largest voter fraud operation in history. His supporters have some explaining to do.
12/10/20 - What Do You Mean Your Voting System is Unreliable but You Certified the Results Anyway?
There’s no let-up in the tsunami of evidence pointing to the conclusion this was a stolen election.
The Trump campaign lawsuit in Georgia presented evidence of 2,560 felons who voted unlawfully, 66,247 voters who were underage, 2,423 who were not registered, 1,043 unlawfully registered at post offices boxes, 4,926 who had registered in another state, 395 who voted in two states, 15,700 who voted but had moved out of state, 40,279 who unlawfully voted after moving and failing to register in a new county, and 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots that lacked proper signature matching and verification. [source: Tea Party Patriots]
As for electronic voting machines, a small county in Georgia wrote a letter to the Secretary of State saying the county could not duplicate its election night results on its machines and said no voting system that is so unreliable should ever be used. Then it went ahead and certified its election night results, which makes no sense, whatsoever.
Finally, we have a little more detail about the way voting machines were used to rig elections in Venezuela. A former Venezuelan official admitted voting machines can be used to commit election fraud and Smartmatic publicly admitted that a 2017 election was manipulated in Venezuela. The former Venezuelan official said the way fraud is accomplished is by stopping the vote counting, exactly as is alleged to have occurred nearly simultaneously in several states in the U.S. on election night last month.
Tomorrow, I take a closer look at the claim vote counting was stopped in swing states so the election could be stolen. The claim is disputed. More tomorrow.
12/9/20 - Texas Suit Raises Profound Issues
Texas filed suit against four states in the U.S. Supreme Court alleging their election procedures invalidate their election results. The Guardian
The case has been called everything from monumental to frivolous. It’s also been called a Hail Mary pass that will most likely fail. But the issues it raises are profound and deserve wider attention
The first issue has to do with the many ways state officials changed state election laws which is only supposed to be done by their state legislatures. The Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan Secretaries of State took it upon themselves to do away with signature verification for absentee or mail-in ballots. The Wisconsin elections commission eliminated election integrity procedures without legislative approval. Texas argues all of this violated the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution [Art. II, § 1, Cl. 2] which vests “state legislatures with plenary authority regarding the appointment of presidential electors.” The violations are so egregious, Texas argues, that the situation is fundamentally unfair and deprives the rest of us of our liberty without due process of law.
The second issue arises from the way some counties in Pennsylvania offered Democrat, but not Republican, voters the opportunity to fix defects in their absentee ballots. There is no such procedure in Pennsylvania law. The Supreme Court prohibited differential treatment of ballots in the Bush v. Gore case in 2000
Texas alleges the rest of us have been harmed by these states’ action because we are all in a “shared enterprise” of electing a President and what these four states did made the votes cast by their residents worth more than those cast elsewhere.
None of these arguments depend on proving a single instance of voter fraud. All the facts underlying the suit are undisputed - state officials did change their election laws without legislative approval. Moreover, elections officials did go out of their way to favor Democrat voters and help them vote.
Texas is asking that Electoral College votes from these four states not be counted and that new elections be held in these states. Briefs are due at the Supreme Court tomorrow. Epoch Times
12/8/20 - More Election Shenanigans and Working Our Way Out of This Mess
Today we look at more of the things that went wrong in the election and discuss ways to get out of this mess in the future.
A poll challenger in Michigan was only able to get two of his challenges recorded the entire day. The rest were dismissed even though they had problems like the number on the absentee ballot received not matching the one that was sent out to the voter.
Poll challengers in Detroit were arbitrarily ejected all day long, leaving the rest afraid to challenge too much of what they saw. One was ejected when he started recording names on ballots during the middle-of-the-night Biden ballot dump, names that were not in the pollbook.
The man who told all the election observers in Fulton County, Georgia to go home so vote counting could continue surreptitiously late at night is the same man who falsely claimed to the media a water main break prevented vote counting until the next day.
In the Georgia hearings, there was testimony from a college student that she showed up to vote only to be told someone had already voted in her name. Also, witnesses pointed out that signatures on absentee ballots were only compared to the signature on the absentee application, but not to the signature previously on file with the state, leading the witnesses to question, not only the count, but also the recount where the same defective procedure was used.
Data experts have described how votes were switched from Trump to Biden through electronic voting machines in many states. Another expert has just stepped forward to describe how 200,000 votes were switched from Trump to Biden in Georgia, many times the margin of victory.
As for getting out of the mess we are now in, one reason the Left is so successful is because they have a goal, a trajectory, and a strategy for moving along the trajectory to the goal. We need to borrow a page from their book and do the same. We must find ways to work effectively together if we are to right the ship and restore integrity to our elections. That means voluntary cooperation from the mightiest national election integrity group right on down to the people who volunteer locally on election day. What’s missing is an over-arching initiative to tie it all together - with a goal, a trajectory, and a strategy for moving along the trajectory to the goal. I am taking on that role until a better initiative comes along, then I will be happy to join forces with them. Let’s get going, folks. You can reach me at tips@liberato.us if you would like to help maintain the Republic.
12/7/20 - Evicting the Ghost in the Machine
Today, I’ll look at some of the evidence regarding election fraud that came in over the weekend, discuss the Georgia suitcase story, and give you an idea for fixing voting machine problems.
President Trump’s legal team said tens of thousands of illegal votes were cast in Georgia, more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory. The illegal votes came from convicted felons, people under 18, unregistered voters, people with a post office box address, dead voters, and people who had moved out of state or had failed to register after moving to a new county.
Similarly, the Trump team has gathered evidence in Nevada of 85,000 illegal votes from people who were not Nevada residents, voted twice, gave businesses or vacant lots for their address, or were dead.
A Georgia poll watcher caught vote counters entering an impossibly high number of votes for Biden out of one box. After questioning the tally, new counters were brought in and, lo and behold, the tally for Biden out of that box was reduced by 9,600 votes. Funny how all these ‘mistakes’ only cut one way, isn’t it? (video - starting at 6 hrs 16 mins).
The Trump team reportedly obtained a Dominion voting machine in Georgia and found that it had flipped votes from Trump to Biden. The flip, if extrapolated statewide, would be more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia.
Regarding the Georgia suitcase story, it was originally presented by conservative sources as suitcases full of ballots pulled out from under a table, and run through tabulators multiple times after poll workers and observers were told to leave because counting was over for the night. This account is disputed by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office which says observers were never told to leave and nothing suspicious happened. The office’s account has been rebutted, but I’m not at liberty to say by whom. The rebuttal holds that it was widely reported in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and elsewhere that observers were in fact told to leave and counting continued until 1 a.m. in violation of state law. The Secretary of State’s office showed up at 12:15 but did not stop the counting. The Secretary of State’s office is now trying to cover everything up because they are now complicit in illegal activity. The important point is not that the ballots in the suitcases might have been fake. The important point is that vote counting is supposed to be public, but continued after nobody was watching. It was illegal.
I’ll close with the best idea I’ve heard for fixing the all the problems with voting machines. Develop open-source software and require every machine vendor to use it. This way, no backdoors or other funny business can be written into the code. Volunteer software developers will come from every political persuasion and keep each other honest. Kind of like when you were a kid and you could either cut the cake into two pieces or choose a piece first, but not do both. I’ll be advancing this and other ideas for fixing our broken election system in the coming weeks. You see, I don’t just yack; I’m an activist.
12/4/20 - Explain About the Machines, Please
We know a few more things about electronic voting machines since I last reported to you on the subject. I’ll do my best to separate fact from fiction, but it’s not easy this early in the game, with all the speculation swirling around.
The Trump Team report on voting machines says, among other things, Smartmatic software can change votes without being detected and Dominion’s manual explains how to wipe away votes with a few clicks of a mouse.
There was testimony in Arizona that Dominion’s machines were connected to the Internet, allowing them to be manipulated by both authorized parties and outside hackers.
A far-left Indivisible group that endorsed Joe Biden had access to Dominion software on election night, a military analyst attested to Sidney Powell.
The parent company of Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million in financing raised by the Swiss investment bank UBS. UBS has a Chinese affiliate which is 75 percent owned by the Chinese government. This might not mean anything, but it does raise the prospect of foreign interference in our elections in the 28 states that use Dominion machines.
There’s an allegation in Nevada that machine USB drive totals were changed overnight.
There are also allegations that Dominion representatives in several places downloaded data from the machines onto thumb drives, worked with the data, and reinserted the drives into the machines. Election officials have explanations for this behavior, but what hasn’t been explained is why a system that is not self-contained and requires physical interventions by multiple tech workers during the course of an election was ever adopted in the first place. It sure does look suspicious.
What also hasn’t been explained is why vote counting stopped in the middle of the night in several key states and came back online showing massive votes for Biden. I’m still waiting to hear an explanation for that one, but no one seems to be offering one other than ‘move on, the election’s over.’ Well, no.
The jury is still out on whether these machines were used to steal the election. What is clear, however, is that these machines and the people associated with them do not inspire confidence. The political Right has known about the problems with these machines for years. I knew about them a long time ago, but I went to sleep because I just figured such an obvious problem would get cleared up and these machines would not be used in the future. In Virginia, for example, they got rid of these machines and replaced them with paper ballots and scanners. So, I became way too complacent and did not realize these machines were still around or that they could be used to steal an entire election. I’m gathering forces to fix the problems or get rid of these machines altogether, going forward. If you can help, please contact me at tips@liberato.us.
12/3/20 - Groundhog Day: More Evidence of Election Fraud Pours In
More information about irregularities in the 2020 election continues to pour in.
The legislative hearings in Michigan found, among other things, dead voters, vacant addresses, and Xeroxed ballots.
A witness in Detroit saw ballots with sequential numbers being counted that all had similar signatures, the same address, and no date on the absentee envelopes.
A small audit of 100 ballots in Arizona found one changed from Trump to Biden and another taken away from Trump. A larger audit is being conducted.
40,000 illegal votes were found in Georgia by people who moved to a different county and voted without registering their new address in a timely manner. This is three times Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia.
A poll watcher in Georgia saw an elections official enter votes into a voting machine and other people without official badges handling ballots.
A poll watcher in Georgia was shocked to see that paper ballots were not properly secured at the end of election night and were brought back for the recount without the proper paperwork, raising questions about chain of custody.
Another monitor during the recount saw ballots magically appear from a back room when recount totals fell short of election day totals.
Another poll watcher in Georgia was placed so far away from absentee ballots she couldn’t tell what was going on, while pro-Democrat monitors were allowed to freely roam the room.
You’ve heard this kind of story before, but now there’s a video of a Georgia man talking about how he went to vote and was told he had supposedly already voted with an absentee ballot. A poll supervisor then suggested the man vote as the man’s father.
I give you links to the stories or videos of all these witnesses and to the legislative hearings in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. I encourage you to take a few minutes to review them and judge for yourself whether there were unacceptable levels of voter fraud in this election. It’s like Plato said, if you don’t want to participate in governance, you will be ruled by your inferiors and, he might have added, dishonest cheating gangsters.
12/2/20 - More Evidence of Election Fraud to Put With All the Other Evidence You’re Already Ignoring
The avalanche of evidence showing election fraud continues. Let’s look at some of the stories that appeared yesterday.
A poll watcher in Michigan testified he witnessed Republican poll watchers being ejected from the room throughout the night, as people cheered.
There is fresh testimony about ballots being run through machines 8 to 10 times in Michigan.
A GOP poll watcher in Michigan said all the military ballots she saw looked like Xerox copies and were marked for Biden. Meanwhile, 100 percent of the military ballots in Fulton County, Georgia were for Biden, which is not likely given Trump won the military vote decisively in 2016.
Elections officials in Georgia were filmed destroying evidence.
A truck driver came forward to say he drove 288,000 completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.
Postal workers in Wisconsin saw tens of thousands of ballots being backdated after the election so they could be counted.
Totally illegal money-for-vote raffles were conducted in several states, including Nevada.
Elections officials in Arizona thought they were done counting ballots, but more kept coming in by the truckload for 10 more days. You’d think they’d know how many ballots they issued.
All of this is infuriating. Ditto for the blasé attitude from the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the Democrats, and especially many Republicans who say, ‘Oh well, there’s always next year.’ The political Right had better learn how to fight more effectively, how to strategize, and how to work together at least a little bit or face getting steamrolled in elections more and more easily as time goes by. I’m gearing up and gathering forces to fight election fraud. Help me or any of the other election integrity projects out there. You can reach me at tips@liberato.us.
12/1/20 - Probable Machine Fraud Destroying Confidence in Our Elections
Today, we look at stories about voting machine fraud from recent days.
The Dominion voting system switched votes from Trump to Biden in Arizona, a GOP chairwoman said.
Spikes in machine vote totals in Pennsylvania gave Biden almost 600,000 votes, versus only 3,200 for Trump.
A witness in Arizona said 35,000 votes were added to vote totals for every Democratic candidate in the state when voting started.
A witness saw USB cards being uploaded to voting machines in Pennsylvania which soon produced 50,000 votes for Biden. 47 USB cards are now missing.
Voting machines were surreptitiously connected to the Internet in Detroit, a Dominion contractor said.
Dominion voting machines connected to the Internet are easily hacked by intruders, an expert witness testified in the Arizona public hearing yesterday.
A former military analyst swore out an affidavit in the Michigan and Georgia lawsuits there is evidence China and Iran accessed and manipulated Dominion servers during the 2020 election.
A Dominion representative who scanned ballots in Georgia worked for the Kamala Harris campaign last year.
Dominion executive Eric Coomer, who has ties to Antifa and hates Trump, performed a major software update to Dominion machines in Georgia a week before early voting started.
Coomer is on video explaining to elections officials how to alter votes with Dominion machines and, further, that the machines cannot tell fake ballots from real ballots.
Let’s go back to the idea that electronic voting machines can manipulate vote totals between candidates. People who have examined the numbers coming out of these machines have explained how the fraud works: First, the machine adds fake votes, swinging vote totals by several percentage points in a matter of minutes. But now there’s a problem: vote totals exceed the number of registered voters, so the machines lower the overall vote total. This is why you see vote totals going down, which wouldn’t happen if everything were on the up and up. Vote totals going down is prima facie evidence the election is being rigged.
I can’t tell you for sure if the 2020 election was rigged through machine fraud. Smartmatic and Dominion have denied any wrong-doing. But I can tell you all of this stinks to high heaven and we had better secure our voting system if we want to have confidence in elections in this country ever again. I keep saying it will take a lot of effort by a lot of people to fix the problems. But we have not even scratched the surface of what we can accomplish if only we will work together. Contact me at tips@liberato.us if you would like to step up and help maintain the Republic by preventing election fraud. I’m not collecting money and I’m not selling or sharing anyone’s contact information. This is about patriots saving the country. Contact me.
I promised to tell you today what Joe Biden really thinks of electronic voting machines. Before I get to that, let’s look at some more information that came in about the machines in the last 24 hours.
Peter Navarro, trade assistant to President Trump, issued a report finding evidence of voting machine irregularities in the six battleground states. (Table 2 - p. 6) These irregularities included “large-scale voting machine inaccuracies together with inexplicable vote switching and vote surges, often in favor [of] Joe Biden.” (p. 22)
Also in the last 24 hours, we learned Dominion’s software is not updated after information about security threats are received. Feel better, now?
Now for what Joe Biden said. In 2007, he was recorded saying, “... how are you going to keep it from us being able to be in a position where you can manipulate the machines, manipulate the records. The one way to do that is, I think we should pass a federal law mandating that the same machines with paper trails be mandatory for every federal election.... So, in a nutshell, I think we should be mandating, mandating that we have a paper ballot with the standardized machines.... “
So, there you have it. Joe Biden says these machines and these records can be manipulated and we should be mandating, MANDATING, that something be done about it. I agree with Joe Biden.
I also agree with the Democrats, ten percent of whom, when polled, say this was not a free and fair election.
I also agree with prominent Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar back when they were warning about vote-switching problems with the Dominion machines.
I also agree with Big Media, back when they were reporting honestly on the problems with these machines and how there aren’t any safeguards. Boy, has their tune changed. Now, all of a sudden, the machines are hunky-dory and now you don’t hear a whisper from Big Media about the problems with these machines.
So I agree with all these people, back before they realized they could use these machines to steal an entire presidential election and get that much closer to the heaven on earth they want to build for us rubes. Thank you, Joe Biden. Thank you, Elizabeth Warren. Thank you, PBS. Thank you all for showing me the error of my ways and that the ends really do justify the means, no matter how scurrilous.
12/17/20 - Election Fraud News Continues Unabated
The Senate Homeland Security Committee held a hearing yesterday on voting irregularities in the 2020 election. Chairman Ron Johnson said there is no doubt fraud occurred. OAN
One witness testified more than 42,000 people voted more than once in Nevada by using variations on their first name, such as “William” and “Bill”, or their maiden name. The witness also said at least 1,500 dead people and 19,000 nonresidents voted.
Another witness testified that 200,000 people improperly voted in Wisconsin, and that over 17,000 ballots were illegally received without supervision.
Former independent counsel Ken Starr criticized changes to election procedures that were not made by state legislatures, singling out Pennsylvania in this regard for what he called a “clear violation of law”.
Fired Director of Cyber Security Chris Krebs told the committee that some Dominion voting machines were connected to the Internet, which means they could easily be manipulated or hacked.
This last point was reinforced by testimony in a separate hearing in Michigan yesterday. Previously, Dominion’s CEO had minimized the possibility that Dominion machines were connected to the Internet. However, a witness in Michigan testified there is an audio recording of a Dominion training session in which Dominion admits all of its hardware is connected to the Internet.
The Dominion CEO also previously claimed security seals on Dominion machines make their ballot boxes secure, so hand recounts would resolve any questions about the results. However, the attorney in Michigan who oversaw the forensic examination of the machines in one county explained how his team found several seals to be broken, meaning data ports could have been accessed and results changed by thumb drive and, just as troubling, ballots could have been added or removed from the ballot boxes. There’s no way to tell what went on with the machines or the ballots where the seals were broken.
Apart from hearings, electronic voting machines made other news yesterday.
A tech expert explained how QR codes, though supposedly unique, don’t prevent the same ballot from being run through machines multiple times.
A fraud analyst found a two to three percent shift in favor of Democratic presidential candidates from 2008 to 2020 in counties that adopted Dominion voting machines, compared to counties that did not. The shift cannot be explained by other factors, leaving the conclusion that it was the Dominion machines themselves that artificially produced the shift.
Tomorrow, I will tell you what Joe Biden really thinks about these machines.
12/16/20 - Election Fraud: Facts and Riddles are Stubborn Things
Today, I give you some new facts regarding election fraud, and put out another call for somebody to explain the very odd behavior of electronic voting machines.
A comparison of DMV records and voter rolls showed 3,987 noncitizens voted in Nevada. There is also evidence in Nevada of people voting twice, dead voters, and out-of-state voters.
As shown in legislative testimony, a nursing home resident in Wisconsin wanted to vote for Trump but a staff member bullied her into voting for Biden.
Yesterday I reported that a forensic examination of voting machines in Michigan showed a 68.05 percent error rate and that the examiners concluded the error rate is deliberately high to create space for fraud. Later yesterday, it was reported that Dominion voting machines in Nevada also showed an error rate of around 70 percent. I detect a pattern here, don’t you?
In legislative testimony in Michigan, the CEO of Dominion Voting Systems admitted that some Dominion machines can connect to the Internet. There were eyewitness accounts that some were, in Detroit, when they were not supposed to be. Connecting to the Internet means the machines can be manipulated by design or by hackers, foreign and domestic. The CEO claimed the machines in question were not connected to the Internet. However, there was testimony in Arizona that machines there were.
Those are the facts that came in yesterday. Now on to the mother of all riddles.
President Trump did well in the election except in four cities that proved decisive - Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta - four cities where there are numerous indications election fraud took place. When polls closed on November 3rd, he led by hundreds of thousands of votes. In the middle of the night, the key states stopped counting votes and reported impossibly huge spikes for Joe Biden when they came back online. After the spikes, the results from these states were always in the same ratio, slightly favoring Biden, to maintain the lead the middle-of-the-night vote dumps gave Biden. The same pattern repeated in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin.
What’s the innocent explanation for all this, if there is one? I’ve been asking this question for a while now. I scan a lot of news. I haven’t seen a good explanation for this odd machine behavior. In fact, I haven’t even seen anybody try. Instead, all we get is that Trump is trying to steal the election and people like me are conspiracy theorists and destroying democracy. The lady doth protest too much. I will be working with experts and activists to develop recommendations, starting with requiring open source software, to make sure this set of circumstances never happens again.
12/15/20 - Dominion Flunks Forensic Exam, Makes Chavez Proud
The results of the forensic examination of the Dominion Voting System in a Michigan county have been released. The findings are shocking, and should motivate anyone interested in free and fair elections into action. The cyber forensic analysts said:
- We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.
Hiding evidence? Wow. Equally bad, "The allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%). We observed an error rate of 68.05%. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity."
A significant and fatal error in security and election integrity. The attorney who commissioned the report said all of this is no accident. This is a system deliberately designed to generate errors and affect the outcome of elections. OK, if that’s the way the Democrats and Republican sell-outs want to play, we’ll treat you accordingly. The Dominion system is in use in 28 states. Let’s make that 28 fewer the next time around. Open source software is the way to go. It will keep everybody honest.
12/14/20 - Proof Positive Dominion Voting Machines Are a Problem
More problems with electronic voting machines surfaced over the weekend.
A voting machine in Michigan showed 663 people voted in a local school board race in a district where there are only 6 registered voters. A court ordered a forensic examination of the county’s machine, but Michigan’s far-left Attorney General is trying to hide the results, making far-fetched claims about how that will damage election integrity in the future.
An elections official in Georgia showed on video how their electronic voting system can add votes, remove votes, and get their scanners to accept the same ballot more than once.
A federal judge in Georgia found major problems with Dominion voting systems in October. The court concluded there are:
- ... serious system security vulnerability and operational issues that may place Plaintiffs and other voters at risk of deprivation of their fundamental right to cast an effective vote that is accurately counted. While these risks might appear theoretical to some, Plaintiffs have shown how voting equipment and voter registration database problems during the 2019 pilot elections and again in the June and August 2020 primary elections caused severe breakdowns at the polls, severely burdening voters' exercise of the franchise.
The court went on to say:
- The stealth vote alteration or operational interference risks posed by malware that can be effectively invisible to detection, whether intentionally seeded or not, are high once implanted, if equipment and software systems are not properly protected, implemented, and audited.
All the gory details are in the judge’s 150-page opinion. While the judge declined to force major changes in the voting process so close to the November election, the point remains the same: a court has found, based on voluminous evidence, there are major problems with Dominion voting systems which are used in 28 states.
You don’t have to believe there was a raid on a server farm in Germany, or that Joe Biden used these machines to steal the election outright, or that China and Iran were involved, to realize there are some serious problems with these machines. The best idea I’ve heard on the subject is to get rid of the current software, move to open source software, and require every machine manufacturer to use it. This is one of the ideas I’ll be pursuing next year promote integrity in our elections. No more free ride, Democrats.
12/11/20 - Explain the Machines, Please (redux)
Today, as promised, I look at the claim that vote counting stopped in the middle of the night in key states, and the election was stolen by using electronic voting machines to add massive numbers of fake votes for Biden. My conclusion today is inconclusive, but does not let the Biden camp off the hook.
I looked at a USA Today fact-check and a Gateway Pundit article.
The fact-check was published the day after the election. It focused on hand-counting. It concluded there is no evidence Democrat-led swing states stopped hand-counting for no good reason. It says election officials knew it would take several days to count mail-in ballots. Claims that hand-counting stopped were either false or explained by a good reason. North Carolina stopped because it was finished. Hand-counting in Philadelphia never stopped, according to city officials who provided a live-stream at the time backing up their claim. Hand-counting in Detroit never stopped, according to the Detroit Free Press and the Michigan Secretary of State. Hand-counting in Fulton County, Georgia paused briefly, supposedly for a burst pipe, then resumed, with 74,000 absentee ballots counted that night, according to USA Today, although the absentee ballots in question are now viewed with extreme suspicion.
There was not a single word about voting machines in the USA Today fact-check. The Gateway Pundit article is all about voting machines, so the two sides of the argument are like ships passing in the night. They don’t really address each other.
Publishing a month after the election, Gateway Pundit examined voting machine logs and described what happened in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin as a ‘drop and roll’. First, the machines stopped counting while President Trump was ahead. Second, entries were made in the logs reducing vote totals. Third, massive numbers of votes were added for Biden to put him in the lead - the ‘drop’. Finally, every entry made thereafter was in the exact same ratio, slightly favoring Biden over Trump, to maintain Biden’s margin of victory - the ‘roll’. A video accompanying the article purports to show actual machine log entries backing all this up.
It has been claimed that vote totals going down is prima facie evidence of fraud. In order to add votes for Biden, votes had to be removed from Trump to keep the final vote total lower than the number of registered voters. However, I’ve seen one possible explanation for this. Sometimes, entries are reversed and votes subtracted because reported results in some areas can’t be verified. Maybe, but it seems silly to put results in the system before they are verified. The Gateway Pundit article itself refers to reversing entries that are in the exact same amount as previous entries.
But I haven’t seen any explanations for the other points Gateway Pundit makes. Where did all these massive votes for Biden come from? Why were those entries in a completely different ratio heavily favoring Biden when all previous entries showed Trump winning? Why were all subsequent entries in the same exact ratio slightly favoring Biden? That’s impossible.
So my conclusion today is inconclusive. But until somebody can answer the Gateway Pundit’s excellent questions, I’m going to operate under the assumption the election was stolen. The burden is on the Biden camp, now, to explain all this very odd machine behavior. Also, as I reported yesterday, a former Venezuelan official said this is exactly how elections were rigged in that country - the machines stopped and fake votes were added to the pre-selected winner. So here we have a proven method with a track record of stealing elections apparently taking place on our election night with no innocent explanation even offered. And you want everybody to stop asking questions and unite around our new President Joe Biden? No way, not gonna happen. Joe Biden has admitted on video running the largest voter fraud operation in history. His supporters have some explaining to do.
12/10/20 - What Do You Mean Your Voting System is Unreliable but You Certified the Results Anyway?
There’s no let-up in the tsunami of evidence pointing to the conclusion this was a stolen election.
The Trump campaign lawsuit in Georgia presented evidence of 2,560 felons who voted unlawfully, 66,247 voters who were underage, 2,423 who were not registered, 1,043 unlawfully registered at post offices boxes, 4,926 who had registered in another state, 395 who voted in two states, 15,700 who voted but had moved out of state, 40,279 who unlawfully voted after moving and failing to register in a new county, and 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots that lacked proper signature matching and verification.

As for electronic voting machines, a small county in Georgia wrote a letter to the Secretary of State saying the county could not duplicate its election night results on its machines and said no voting system that is so unreliable should ever be used. Then it went ahead and certified its election night results, which makes no sense, whatsoever.
Finally, we have a little more detail about the way voting machines were used to rig elections in Venezuela. A former Venezuelan official admitted voting machines can be used to commit election fraud and Smartmatic publicly admitted that a 2017 election was manipulated in Venezuela. The former Venezuelan official said the way fraud is accomplished is by stopping the vote counting, exactly as is alleged to have occurred nearly simultaneously in several states in the U.S. on election night last month.
Tomorrow, I take a closer look at the claim vote counting was stopped in swing states so the election could be stolen. The claim is disputed. More tomorrow.
12/9/20 - Texas Suit Raises Profound Issues
Texas filed suit against four states in the U.S. Supreme Court alleging their election procedures invalidate their election results. The Guardian
The case has been called everything from monumental to frivolous. It’s also been called a Hail Mary pass that will most likely fail. But the issues it raises are profound and deserve wider attention
The first issue has to do with the many ways state officials changed state election laws which is only supposed to be done by their state legislatures. The Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan Secretaries of State took it upon themselves to do away with signature verification for absentee or mail-in ballots. The Wisconsin elections commission eliminated election integrity procedures without legislative approval. Texas argues all of this violated the Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution [Art. II, § 1, Cl. 2] which vests “state legislatures with plenary authority regarding the appointment of presidential electors.” The violations are so egregious, Texas argues, that the situation is fundamentally unfair and deprives the rest of us of our liberty without due process of law.
The second issue arises from the way some counties in Pennsylvania offered Democrat, but not Republican, voters the opportunity to fix defects in their absentee ballots. There is no such procedure in Pennsylvania law. The Supreme Court prohibited differential treatment of ballots in the Bush v. Gore case in 2000
Texas alleges the rest of us have been harmed by these states’ action because we are all in a “shared enterprise” of electing a President and what these four states did made the votes cast by their residents worth more than those cast elsewhere.
None of these arguments depend on proving a single instance of voter fraud. All the facts underlying the suit are undisputed - state officials did change their election laws without legislative approval. Moreover, elections officials did go out of their way to favor Democrat voters and help them vote.
Texas is asking that Electoral College votes from these four states not be counted and that new elections be held in these states. Briefs are due at the Supreme Court tomorrow. Epoch Times
12/8/20 - More Election Shenanigans and Working Our Way Out of This Mess
Today we look at more of the things that went wrong in the election and discuss ways to get out of this mess in the future.
A poll challenger in Michigan was only able to get two of his challenges recorded the entire day. The rest were dismissed even though they had problems like the number on the absentee ballot received not matching the one that was sent out to the voter.
Poll challengers in Detroit were arbitrarily ejected all day long, leaving the rest afraid to challenge too much of what they saw. One was ejected when he started recording names on ballots during the middle-of-the-night Biden ballot dump, names that were not in the pollbook.
The man who told all the election observers in Fulton County, Georgia to go home so vote counting could continue surreptitiously late at night is the same man who falsely claimed to the media a water main break prevented vote counting until the next day.
In the Georgia hearings, there was testimony from a college student that she showed up to vote only to be told someone had already voted in her name. Also, witnesses pointed out that signatures on absentee ballots were only compared to the signature on the absentee application, but not to the signature previously on file with the state, leading the witnesses to question, not only the count, but also the recount where the same defective procedure was used.
Data experts have described how votes were switched from Trump to Biden through electronic voting machines in many states. Another expert has just stepped forward to describe how 200,000 votes were switched from Trump to Biden in Georgia, many times the margin of victory.
As for getting out of the mess we are now in, one reason the Left is so successful is because they have a goal, a trajectory, and a strategy for moving along the trajectory to the goal. We need to borrow a page from their book and do the same. We must find ways to work effectively together if we are to right the ship and restore integrity to our elections. That means voluntary cooperation from the mightiest national election integrity group right on down to the people who volunteer locally on election day. What’s missing is an over-arching initiative to tie it all together - with a goal, a trajectory, and a strategy for moving along the trajectory to the goal. I am taking on that role until a better initiative comes along, then I will be happy to join forces with them. Let’s get going, folks. You can reach me at tips@liberato.us if you would like to help maintain the Republic.
12/7/20 - Evicting the Ghost in the Machine
Today, I’ll look at some of the evidence regarding election fraud that came in over the weekend, discuss the Georgia suitcase story, and give you an idea for fixing voting machine problems.
President Trump’s legal team said tens of thousands of illegal votes were cast in Georgia, more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory. The illegal votes came from convicted felons, people under 18, unregistered voters, people with a post office box address, dead voters, and people who had moved out of state or had failed to register after moving to a new county.
Similarly, the Trump team has gathered evidence in Nevada of 85,000 illegal votes from people who were not Nevada residents, voted twice, gave businesses or vacant lots for their address, or were dead.
A Georgia poll watcher caught vote counters entering an impossibly high number of votes for Biden out of one box. After questioning the tally, new counters were brought in and, lo and behold, the tally for Biden out of that box was reduced by 9,600 votes. Funny how all these ‘mistakes’ only cut one way, isn’t it? (video - starting at 6 hrs 16 mins).
The Trump team reportedly obtained a Dominion voting machine in Georgia and found that it had flipped votes from Trump to Biden. The flip, if extrapolated statewide, would be more than Joe Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia.
Regarding the Georgia suitcase story, it was originally presented by conservative sources as suitcases full of ballots pulled out from under a table, and run through tabulators multiple times after poll workers and observers were told to leave because counting was over for the night. This account is disputed by the Georgia Secretary of State’s office which says observers were never told to leave and nothing suspicious happened. The office’s account has been rebutted, but I’m not at liberty to say by whom. The rebuttal holds that it was widely reported in the Atlanta Journal Constitution and elsewhere that observers were in fact told to leave and counting continued until 1 a.m. in violation of state law. The Secretary of State’s office showed up at 12:15 but did not stop the counting. The Secretary of State’s office is now trying to cover everything up because they are now complicit in illegal activity. The important point is not that the ballots in the suitcases might have been fake. The important point is that vote counting is supposed to be public, but continued after nobody was watching. It was illegal.
I’ll close with the best idea I’ve heard for fixing the all the problems with voting machines. Develop open-source software and require every machine vendor to use it. This way, no backdoors or other funny business can be written into the code. Volunteer software developers will come from every political persuasion and keep each other honest. Kind of like when you were a kid and you could either cut the cake into two pieces or choose a piece first, but not do both. I’ll be advancing this and other ideas for fixing our broken election system in the coming weeks. You see, I don’t just yack; I’m an activist.
12/4/20 - Explain About the Machines, Please
We know a few more things about electronic voting machines since I last reported to you on the subject. I’ll do my best to separate fact from fiction, but it’s not easy this early in the game, with all the speculation swirling around.
The Trump Team report on voting machines says, among other things, Smartmatic software can change votes without being detected and Dominion’s manual explains how to wipe away votes with a few clicks of a mouse.
There was testimony in Arizona that Dominion’s machines were connected to the Internet, allowing them to be manipulated by both authorized parties and outside hackers.
A far-left Indivisible group that endorsed Joe Biden had access to Dominion software on election night, a military analyst attested to Sidney Powell.
The parent company of Dominion Voting Systems received $400 million in financing raised by the Swiss investment bank UBS. UBS has a Chinese affiliate which is 75 percent owned by the Chinese government. This might not mean anything, but it does raise the prospect of foreign interference in our elections in the 28 states that use Dominion machines.
There’s an allegation in Nevada that machine USB drive totals were changed overnight.
There are also allegations that Dominion representatives in several places downloaded data from the machines onto thumb drives, worked with the data, and reinserted the drives into the machines. Election officials have explanations for this behavior, but what hasn’t been explained is why a system that is not self-contained and requires physical interventions by multiple tech workers during the course of an election was ever adopted in the first place. It sure does look suspicious.
What also hasn’t been explained is why vote counting stopped in the middle of the night in several key states and came back online showing massive votes for Biden. I’m still waiting to hear an explanation for that one, but no one seems to be offering one other than ‘move on, the election’s over.’ Well, no.
The jury is still out on whether these machines were used to steal the election. What is clear, however, is that these machines and the people associated with them do not inspire confidence. The political Right has known about the problems with these machines for years. I knew about them a long time ago, but I went to sleep because I just figured such an obvious problem would get cleared up and these machines would not be used in the future. In Virginia, for example, they got rid of these machines and replaced them with paper ballots and scanners. So, I became way too complacent and did not realize these machines were still around or that they could be used to steal an entire election. I’m gathering forces to fix the problems or get rid of these machines altogether, going forward. If you can help, please contact me at tips@liberato.us.
12/3/20 - Groundhog Day: More Evidence of Election Fraud Pours In
More information about irregularities in the 2020 election continues to pour in.
The legislative hearings in Michigan found, among other things, dead voters, vacant addresses, and Xeroxed ballots.
A witness in Detroit saw ballots with sequential numbers being counted that all had similar signatures, the same address, and no date on the absentee envelopes.
A small audit of 100 ballots in Arizona found one changed from Trump to Biden and another taken away from Trump. A larger audit is being conducted.
40,000 illegal votes were found in Georgia by people who moved to a different county and voted without registering their new address in a timely manner. This is three times Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia.
A poll watcher in Georgia saw an elections official enter votes into a voting machine and other people without official badges handling ballots.
A poll watcher in Georgia was shocked to see that paper ballots were not properly secured at the end of election night and were brought back for the recount without the proper paperwork, raising questions about chain of custody.
Another monitor during the recount saw ballots magically appear from a back room when recount totals fell short of election day totals.
Another poll watcher in Georgia was placed so far away from absentee ballots she couldn’t tell what was going on, while pro-Democrat monitors were allowed to freely roam the room.
You’ve heard this kind of story before, but now there’s a video of a Georgia man talking about how he went to vote and was told he had supposedly already voted with an absentee ballot. A poll supervisor then suggested the man vote as the man’s father.
I give you links to the stories or videos of all these witnesses and to the legislative hearings in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. I encourage you to take a few minutes to review them and judge for yourself whether there were unacceptable levels of voter fraud in this election. It’s like Plato said, if you don’t want to participate in governance, you will be ruled by your inferiors and, he might have added, dishonest cheating gangsters.
12/2/20 - More Evidence of Election Fraud to Put With All the Other Evidence You’re Already Ignoring
The avalanche of evidence showing election fraud continues. Let’s look at some of the stories that appeared yesterday.
A poll watcher in Michigan testified he witnessed Republican poll watchers being ejected from the room throughout the night, as people cheered.
There is fresh testimony about ballots being run through machines 8 to 10 times in Michigan.
A GOP poll watcher in Michigan said all the military ballots she saw looked like Xerox copies and were marked for Biden. Meanwhile, 100 percent of the military ballots in Fulton County, Georgia were for Biden, which is not likely given Trump won the military vote decisively in 2016.
Elections officials in Georgia were filmed destroying evidence.
A truck driver came forward to say he drove 288,000 completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.
Postal workers in Wisconsin saw tens of thousands of ballots being backdated after the election so they could be counted.
Totally illegal money-for-vote raffles were conducted in several states, including Nevada.
Elections officials in Arizona thought they were done counting ballots, but more kept coming in by the truckload for 10 more days. You’d think they’d know how many ballots they issued.
All of this is infuriating. Ditto for the blasé attitude from the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the Democrats, and especially many Republicans who say, ‘Oh well, there’s always next year.’ The political Right had better learn how to fight more effectively, how to strategize, and how to work together at least a little bit or face getting steamrolled in elections more and more easily as time goes by. I’m gearing up and gathering forces to fight election fraud. Help me or any of the other election integrity projects out there. You can reach me at tips@liberato.us.
12/1/20 - Probable Machine Fraud Destroying Confidence in Our Elections
Today, we look at stories about voting machine fraud from recent days.
The Dominion voting system switched votes from Trump to Biden in Arizona, a GOP chairwoman said.
Spikes in machine vote totals in Pennsylvania gave Biden almost 600,000 votes, versus only 3,200 for Trump.
A witness in Arizona said 35,000 votes were added to vote totals for every Democratic candidate in the state when voting started.
A witness saw USB cards being uploaded to voting machines in Pennsylvania which soon produced 50,000 votes for Biden. 47 USB cards are now missing.
Voting machines were surreptitiously connected to the Internet in Detroit, a Dominion contractor said.
Dominion voting machines connected to the Internet are easily hacked by intruders, an expert witness testified in the Arizona public hearing yesterday.
A former military analyst swore out an affidavit in the Michigan and Georgia lawsuits there is evidence China and Iran accessed and manipulated Dominion servers during the 2020 election.
A Dominion representative who scanned ballots in Georgia worked for the Kamala Harris campaign last year.
Dominion executive Eric Coomer, who has ties to Antifa and hates Trump, performed a major software update to Dominion machines in Georgia a week before early voting started.
Coomer is on video explaining to elections officials how to alter votes with Dominion machines and, further, that the machines cannot tell fake ballots from real ballots.
Let’s go back to the idea that electronic voting machines can manipulate vote totals between candidates. People who have examined the numbers coming out of these machines have explained how the fraud works: First, the machine adds fake votes, swinging vote totals by several percentage points in a matter of minutes. But now there’s a problem: vote totals exceed the number of registered voters, so the machines lower the overall vote total. This is why you see vote totals going down, which wouldn’t happen if everything were on the up and up. Vote totals going down is prima facie evidence the election is being rigged.
I can’t tell you for sure if the 2020 election was rigged through machine fraud. Smartmatic and Dominion have denied any wrong-doing. But I can tell you all of this stinks to high heaven and we had better secure our voting system if we want to have confidence in elections in this country ever again. I keep saying it will take a lot of effort by a lot of people to fix the problems. But we have not even scratched the surface of what we can accomplish if only we will work together.
