Fake News pleads for surrender

The demoralization campaign has begun in full earnest.

President Donald Trump’s team is struggling to decide who will have to tell him he’s lost the election as Joe Biden appears on the cusp of securing the White House. Biden took the lead in Pennsylvania and Georgia Friday morning as votes were counted overnight. There is no path to victory for President Trump without those states.

But Trump has told allies he won’t concede should the race be called for his Democratic rival.  

So discussions have begun about an intervention with the president – who would go in and tell him he’s lost and it’s time to concede. Names being floated include the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump, both of whom serve as advisers in the White House, CNN reported.

Members of the Republican Party are also worried the president won’t go quietly and are discussing taking action of their own.

Don’t fall for it. Notice how they’re always trying to get you to quit. Because that allows them to claim victory without having to defeat you. Remember that your demoralization is the entire point of the exercise. Liars lie. That’s what they do, so don’t be surprised when they do it, and don’t fall for it.


Facebook is in on The Steal

Facebook’s intervention in U.S. election politics is not exactly a surprise, of course:

Facebook Inc. is tightening its grip on speech across its platforms, invoking some of the emergency measures that executives previously described as their “break glass” options to respond to postelection unrest.

The company announced temporary measures to limit the spread of false and possibly dangerous content late on Thursday, hours after it took down a fast-growing group called “Stop the Steal” that was organizing protests of vote counts around the country.

If you’re still on Facebook, then I really don’t know what to tell you. You’re like an animal that voluntarily straps on its own muzzle. And before the first moron tries to respond “but… but YOU’RE on Blogger”, please feel free to point to the evidence, any evidence at all, that a single one of my millions of words posted here has ever been censored in any way.


Fuckery is afoot

Larry Correia, bestselling novelist and erstwhile auditor, notes the panoply of red flags surrounding the fraudulent 2020 presidential election:

Before I became a novelist I was an accountant. In auditing you look for red flags. That’s weird bits in the data that suggest something shifty is going on. You flag those weird things so you can delve into them further. One flag doesn’t necessarily mean there’s fraud. Weird things happen. A few flags mean stupidity or dishonesty. But a giant pile of red flags means that there’s bad shit going on and people should be in jail.

Except for in politics, where apparently all you have to do to dismiss a bunch of red flag is be a democrat and mumble something about “fascist voter suppression” then you can do all sorts of blatant crime and get off.

I’ve been trying to keep up with the firehose of information about what’s going on during this clusterfuck of an election. Last night I was on Facebook talking about the crazy high, 3rd world dictatorship level voter turnout levels in the deep blue areas of these swing states was very suspicious. Somebody gas lighted me about how “I’d have to do better than that”, so this was my quick reply, listing off the questionable bullshit I could think of off the top of my head:

  • The massive turn out alone is a red flag.
  • But as for doing better…
  • The late night spikes that were enough to close all the Trump leads are a red flag.
  • The statistically impossible breakdown of the ratios of these vote dumps is a red flag.
  • The ratios of these dumps being far better than the percentages in the bluest of blue cities, even though the historical data does not match, red flag.
  • The ratios of these vote dumps favoring Biden more in these few battlegrounds than the ratio for the rest of the country (even the bluest of the blue) red flag.
  • Biden outperforming Obama among these few urban vote dumps, even though Trump picked up points in every demographic group in the rest of the country, red flag.
  • The poll observers being removed. Red flag.
  • The counters cheering as GOP observers are removed, red flag.
  • The fact that the dem observers outnumber the GOP observers 3 to 1, red flag (and basis of the first lawsuit filed)
  • The electioneering at the polls (on video), red flag.
  • The willful violation of the court order requiring the separation of ballots by type, red flag.
  • USPS whistleblower reporting to the Inspector General that today they were ordered to backdate ballots to yesterday, red flag.
  • The video of 2 AM deliveries of what appear to be boxes of ballots with no chain of custody or other observers right before the late night miracle spikes, red flag.

Any of those things would be enough to trigger an audit in the normal world. This many flags and I’d be giggling in anticipation of catching some thieves. And it isn’t that I have to do better. I’m just an gen pop observer who happens to be a retired auditor with a finely tuned bullshit detector. This is going to the courts.

He goes into more detail on several of the specifics at Monster Hunter Nation. Read the whole thing there. And as to why this unprecedented level of fraud has taken place, the answer is that because there was a Trumpslide. Donald Trump is on track to receive 10 percent more votes than he did to win the Presidency in 2016. Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012 with 5.2 percent fewer votes than he received in 2008. Bill Clinton was reelected in 1996 with 5.5 percent more votes than he received in 1992. 

Donald Trump’s reelection was shaping up to become the biggest landslide since Reagan… which is why millions of fraudulent ballots were produced to try to provide the media with a means of overturning the election results.


A “major announcement”

Donald Trump’s campaign says it will make a “major announcement” later. Former director of national intelligence Ric Grenell, former Nevada attorney general Adam Laxalt, chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp and Nevada GOP Chair Michael McDonald will host a press conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, at 11.30am EST.

I’m going to guess that it isn’t a concession.

UPDATE: Trump campaign plans Philadelphia press conference at 10:15 AM EST.

UPDATE: President Donald Trump announced his campaign will sue in battleground states that Joe Biden won. Trump taking action in Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

It’s a good start. The Democrats were counting on him waving the white flag after being presented with their fait accompli, and that clearly isn’t happening. What we’re witnessing here is the transformation of the useless Republican Party into an action-oriented Trump Party. Donald Trump Jr. is openly mocking them for their defeatism now.

The total lack of action from virtually all of the “2024 GOP hopefuls” is pretty amazing. 

They have a perfect platform to show that they’re willing & able to fight but they will cower to the media mob instead. 

Don’t worry 

@realDonaldTrump will fight & they can watch as usual!


Through A Glass Darkly

 

Episode 15 of The Forge of Tolkien, THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY, is now live on #UATV.

Tolkien insisted in his letter to Milton Waldman that there was no “Magic” as such in The Lord of the Rings, at least not “magic” associated with the Elves. Elvish “magic” was rather “Art” “delivered from many of its human limitations,” while the devices of the Enemy were better labeled “Machines,” especially in their use for dominating others’ wills. And yet, of the “magical” devices that appear in The Lord of the Rings, the most powerful—with the exception of the One Ring—were made by Elves, most particularly the Palantiri or Seeing Stones through which Sauron projected his Eye. 

In this episode, Professor Rachel Fulton Brown explores the tension between “Magic” and “Machines” as a problem for Christians in their use of similar devices from the Renaissance to the present day. Why did Galadriel invite Frodo and Sam to look into her Mirror if she knew what it showed could be dangerous if acted upon? What did Pippin see when he looked into the Palantir of Orthanc—and why did he scream?

New videos from Wranglerstar, The Legend Chuck Dixon, and RAZÖRFIST are also live.


Over the target

The last tweet of Carlos Osweda prior to Twitter banning him.

The national election fraud of 2020 has never happened before.

It being rare has no relevance.

When Trump is done with you bastards, you’ll never do it again.

Trust me on that.

END 

Prophetic indeed….

On a not-unrelated note, please RTFC before you excitedly post your very important breaking news that other readers HAVE ALREADY POSTED in the comments. Meanwhile, Project Veritas has uncovered evidence of the Michigan vote fraud:

A US Postal Service employee from Michigan has reportedly turned whistleblower, telling Project Veritas that his supervisor instructed mail carriers to collect and segregate new ballot envelopes received after the election cutoff so that they could be fraudulently back-dated with a Nov. 3 postmark.


Why Trump will win PA

The President losing PA is not one of the Woes being Contemplated by Alexander Macris:

If you’ve been following the mainstream media, you’ve probably read that Trump intends to file a lawsuit in Pennsylvania to “stop counting votes.” Most likely, this has been presented as an outrageous evil, unjustifiable by any standards of common decency, and grossly unconstitutional. Is that really the case? Or is it more complex than that?

There will be a lawsuit, no doubt; and it will involve a lot of votes being thrown out. The plaintiff (Trump and/or the Republicans) will win, because Pennsylvania’s highest court has almost certainly violated the Constitution of the United States. That’s why, in the weeks ahead, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is going to rule in favor of Trump….

In 2019, the PA legislature passed a law called Act 77 that permitted all voters to cast their ballots by mail but (in Justice Alito’s words) “unambiguously required that all mailed ballots be received by 8 p.m. on election day.” The exact text is 2019 Pa. Leg. Serv. Act 2019-77, which stated: “No absentee ballot under this subsection shall be counted which is received in the office of the county board of elections later than eight o’clock P.M. on the day of the primary or election.” I agree with Justice Alito: That is unambiguous.

Act 77 also provided that if this portion of the law was invalidated, that much of the rest of Act 77, including its liberalization of mail-in voting, would also be void. The exact text is: “Sections 1, 2, 3, 3.2, 4, 5, 5.1, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 of this act are nonseverable. If any provision of this act or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the remaining provisions or applications of this act are void.”

To again put this into common English, the Pennsylvania legislature passed a law that said mail-in ballots had to arrive by 8PM on election day to be counted, and then said that if the Court over-ruled that law, the entire law that permitted mail-in ballots was invalid.

In the face of this clear text, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, by a vote of four to three, made the following decrees, summarized here by SCOTUS:

  1. Mailed ballots don’t need to be received by a election day. Instead, ballots can be accepted if they are postmarked on or before election day and are received within three days thereafter. Note that this is directly contravenes the text above.
  2. A mailed ballot with no postmark, or an illegible postmark, must be regarded as timely if it is received by that same date.

In doing so, PAs’ high court expressly acknowledged that “the statutory provision mandating receipt by election day was unambiguous” and conceded the law was “constitutional,” but still re-wrote the law because it thought it needed to do so in the face of a “natural disaster.” It justified its right to do so under the Free and Equal Elections Cause of the PA State Constitution.

It looks like a sound analysis, and furthermore, indicates that the Trump campaign understood and anticipated the shenanigans in Pennsylvania. This, along with the way that the usual shenanigans in Florida were shut down, suggests that the other shenanigans in Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin were also anticipated.

Read the whole thing there.


Trust the President

Trust the plan. Carlos Osweda explains why there is no need to freak out over the Democrats’ electoral shenanigans:

  1. Trump prepared for this exact fight.
  2. Trump LOVES challenges.
  3. The law is 100 percent on Trump’s side.
  4. Trump has a million legal weapons to fight this.
  5. This will lead to greater federal oversight of voting for national office. 

TRUMP WON.

The reason they pulled this amateurish horseshit is that Republicans never fought fraud before.

WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU IS THE FATAL FLAW OF LEFTISM?

Leftists always overreach.

A few thoughts:

  1. It really was amateurish. The combination of statistical improbabilities with the obvious nature of the vote production in precisely the counties I highlighted before the election – Milwaukee, Hennepin, and Wayne – made the fraud obvious. The only question is how Trump will prove it.
  2. It’s clear that Trump saw this coming. Why else did he cancel his election night party before the voting started?
  3. Trump loves to trap his opponents. Given the way this was telegraphed, is it more likely that he walked right into the situtation a) with a plan to use it or b) without a plan to use it?
  4. It wasn’t just the states now being contested. The Hennepin County statistics are also historical outliers. There are almost certainly others.
  5. Trump has conceded nothing, nor does he appear to be either rattled or upset.
  6. Did Trump have negative coattails? How did Republicans hold the Senate and gain seats in the House if Biden actually received the most votes in U.S. history?
  7. Never give up until the whistle blows.
By way of example, see if you can spot the outlier in the Democratic vote for President in the DFL stronghold of Hennepin County in Minnesota. Then compare that pattern to the pattern of notoriously corrupt Broward County in Florida.
  • 2008: 420,958 | 491,831
  • 2012: 423,979 | 541,440
  • 2016: 429,283 | 624,146
  • 2020: 532,137 | 617,289

Nothing is over

We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact, there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported! 

– Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

This, and not the election, is the real test of President Trump. In his Discourses, Machiavelli lamented how societies fail because good men refuse to do what needs to be done in order to save them. But it appears that Donald Trump is not going to be a good Republican, sell out his supporters, look the other way, and pretend that a significant part of the vote for his opponent was not fraudulent.
