Electile Dysfunction

5 Comments

I had (and still have) since Tuesday 3 November 2020 believed in my heart of hearts that the election was the worse thing that happened in America in my lifetime. But as usual with the help of our infamous left leaning media, we as Constitutional loving Americans turned a blind eye to all the evidence. Even the dumbest, non-caring, self-centered  scumbag alive should have been able to clearly see that America had become a third-world shithole as far as the ability to hold a legal national election. I was literally beside myself and became the angriest person alive to my family and friends. I am sure that my thirty-six years of blood, sweat, and tears to this once great nation had much to do with my angst.

Then the democratic party immediately began attacking Trump with the help of their appointed gang of misfits throughout the administration who were appointed to positions of authority not because because of their experience or knowledge, but due to their race, being queer, or female, or transgender. Such a disgrace for a country founded on the principles of justice.

Greg has done a magnificent job of researching the anomolies between the past elections. Enjoy.

Numbers can’t lie. Since the dust has settled on the 2024 presidential election, the dustup on the 2020 election begs many questions. The numbers don’t add up or add up way too much thanks to being able to multiply after hours.

The disparity between the two elections was telling with Trump winning the Electoral College in 2024: 312 to 226 and the popular vote by over three million: 75,579,513 to 72,420,967.

Trump’s electoral victory was the most by a Republican since 1988 and his third presidential election win in a row.

Barack Obama received 69 million votes in 2008 and 65 million in 2012. In 2020, Sleepy Joe Biden’s basement campaign collected 81 million.  Trump had massive rallies, while Biden couldn’t draw flies.

Early returns had Trump winning but like a political vampire rising before dawn, Biden’s crop of absentee ballots, vote harvesting and drop boxes rolled in by the truckload as the steal was on.  Taking advantage of COVID, democrats refused to “never let a crisis go to waste.”

One of the biggest miscarriages of justice in American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by democrats, the mainstream media, and left-wing elitists.

Stolen elections, however, are nothing new to the American political landscape.

In 1960, Democrats stole the election for John F. Kennedy. He won Illinois by 8,858 votes thanks to Chicago Mayor Daley’s political machine. Texas, home of Kennedy’s Vice President Lyndon Johnson, was in on the theft, too.

Does anyone really believe they run fair elections in Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and New York, where big-city democrat machines have dominated for over a century?

In the 1992 presidential election while covering in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, I was told before the polls opened that democrats are always ahead by at least 500 votes. This was Columbia County, not Chicago and more than 30 years ago.

At 92, longtime conservative avantgarde Phyllis Schlafly summed it up: “Why wouldn’t people who kill babies also steal elections?”

In both 2016 and 2020, the presidential race was decided by a few ten thousand voters dispersed across a handful of battleground states. These mostly urban voting precincts utilize the hackable Dominion voting machines that made late night ballot dumps feasible and unverifiable.  Biden won Georgia by 11,779 votes; Arizona by 10,457; and Wisconsin by 20,682.

All margins that can be overcome with a collective effort.

During this year’s Casey/McCormick senate race, election officials openly defied a 2023 Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision by counting illegal ballots attempting to usurp the initial results that favored McCormick, the republican challenger.

Bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza exposes the voting fraud that you were told didn’t exist in the film “2000 Mules.”  Why have laws on proof of voter eligibility and ballot counting requirements and deadlines if they aren’t enforced?

Without enforcement anarchy reigns.

Republicans failed to call out the big cheat immediately in the 2020 election and until the malefactors are identified, convicted, and imprisoned, such nefarious criminality at some point will resurface.

Harris collected about nine million fewer votes than Biden in 2020.

Yet, many still believe the 2020 election was untainted. What is outright dismissed and forgotten is how a stolen election would nullify any legislation passed over the last four years.

The aftermath of 2020’s coup d’état that undermined our constitution has resulted in dozens of lawsuits and an army of trained poll watchers that produced fewer delays and a more consistent and timely accounting in 2024.

This is the first of three presidential elections where Trump won the popular vote including the Electoral College. The 72 million votes tallied for Harris is more than Hillary Clinton’s 65 million in 2016 when she lost to Trump. It is on par with Obama’s 69 million votes in 2008, and higher than Obama’s 65 million when he won a second term in 2012.

With Trump having won the 2020 election, democrats are drafting articles of impeachment that made him ineligible to run in 2024.  Other democrat initiatives include counting illegal ballots to prevent any Republican “threat to democracy” and if that doesn’t work abolishing the popular vote altogether.

When Harris implored “we are not going back,” she was wrong again.

We are going back – to a road leading faithfully forward.

I know you all have been waiting for this. LOL I had to wait to see what Greg said before I posted my personal thoughts on Tuesday. Truthfully I shut the TV down and went to bed around 2400. Just couldn’t handle it anymore; he was at 246. Woke up to pee at 0200; all that Scotch had to get out. Afterwards I went out to the living room and turned on the TV just for a peek, and at around 0218 FOX News gave the election to Trump. I wanted to go out and start up the motorhome and lay on the air horns and wake the entire neighbor-hood up. That morning I texted my neighbor and told her what I was thought of doing and she said: “I was awake and I would have come outside in my PJ’s screaming”

What is there to say? All the pollsters and the fourth estate (the so-called guardians of our democracy) all got it wrong. I shall have more to say later, but let me post Greg’s excellent article and read your comments.

Election hangover
By: Greg Maresca

Despite democrats posing as election officials, Dominion voting machines, the questionable
counting of votes, foreign interference, ballot box fires in several states, ballot stuffing, cyber tampering, and voting by illegal immigrants, the best possible outcome of a decisive victory – both with the popular vote and the Electoral College – was a stark and much needed reality.

Even with the outcome well in hand, Trump Derangement Syndrome will not go away as those infected can’t stand the thought of how Donald Trump is a quasar of politics. No one in American history has been attacked as relentlessly, by such a phalanx of powerful forces, and for as long as Donald Trump.

It would be nice to know just how many noncitizens voted but the nation’s fourth estate – its media – just ain’t interested and underscores just how the media continues to fail the American Republic.

What about the polls that got it wrong?

Pollsters almost always oversample democrats. When no one was looking, plenty voted for Trump understanding that the course the USS America was on was headed straight to oblivion and that a change was absolutely necessary.

Leading up to the election, Barack Obama was not too happy that some independent thinking Black men would actually vote Trump over Kamala Harris. This underscores how out of touch the bi-racial Obama is. You would think by now Obama would know that a good percentage of the brothers will take the fat, white, blonde every time.

Even the Amish turned out for Trump. If Harris had an advantage with the Amish it was, they were the only Americans not ticked off about the high price of gas as they rode their horse
buggies flying their Trump flags on the way to the polls in Pennsylvania.

During the campaign, plenty of RINOs were exposed that are too many to mention and played the part of the useful idiot extremely well.

I held my breath and not my nose when I voted. With Trump’s remarkable and victorious political comeback, he has plenty of work ahead and is now exclusively positioned to accomplish plenty. However, will the Left’s hostility of hatred, fear, and animosity toward Trump attempt to obstruct him from performing his duties and keep his life in the crosshairs? Rather than chaos and a drop in the markets hurting the American greenback, the nation refused to go the banana republic route.  The aftereffects had a distinct 2016 vibe as Trump peaked with the fall foliage.

Had those democrat honchos truly believed that Harris was leading in the polls; she would have remained sequestered. However, that was far from the case and Harris was compelled to appear time and again in public where she cannot help to expose herself as the incompetent DEI candidate she was. Her campaign was summed up in one sentence when she appeared on “The View” when she swung and missed with her slow-pitch softball of an interview when asked what she would do differently from President Joe Biden over the last four years. Harris was unapologetic and direct saying, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”  Game. Set. Match.

Harris won the democrat’s nomination for president without winning a single primary vote.

Perhaps the democrats will learn from this? To Harris’s credit, she did concede with dignity even though it was several hours after the fact.

If it’s any consolation to both sides of the aisle, all those political text messages and postcards will finally cease….

How any one with a brain and, at minimum cares even a tad about America, could cast a vote to a person who has never accomplished anything  in her lifetime is beyond me. But then; that’s the society within which we live today. I want to be Trump’s head of the DHS. LOL

Something tells me there will be a pile of bureaucrats looking for a job come Inauguration Day. I suspect Trump will retreat to his once TV Show, “You’re Fired!”

What a Great Shot!

Hello Gang, I’m back. Sorry for the long disappearance, but my bride and I needed to get away from this house once it was finally put back together after Ian. We took off on 31 July in the  new (to us) RV in search of cooler weather, which we did not find until we got to Northern MN. Had a great 30+ day vacation and really enjoyed the northern  States of MN, WI, and MI. We especially liked the latter and spent several days in what they call the “UP.” We even spent a day on Mackinaw Island; what a treat that was. I learned the significance of the different spelling of Mackinac and Mackinaw. LOL

Anyway, Greg sent me a new article and I loved it and decided to post it today. I hope you like it.

 

The shot seen round the world                                      By: Greg Maresca

 

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, how much does that infamous mugshot of Donald Trump rate? Taking advantage of what Trump believed an opportunity, he posted the photo to the social media platform X after its release.

The numbers back Trump up. According to politico.com within the first 24-hours, The Donald’s 2024 presidential movement raised $4.18 million making it the single-highest 24-hour funding period of his campaign to date.

Booking photos of scandalous celebrities, the nefarious, and the reprehensible are nothing new, but this was of a former president of the United States where nothing like this has ever occurred in American history.

Such an event was unnecessary. Who wasn’t aware that Trump was under indictment in four jurisdictions that a typical mugshot was a necessity?  Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly who has photographed ten presidents, said the Trump photo will be “the most published photograph ever.”

Ever since Trump announced his presidential campaign from the escalator of the Trump Tower in Manhattan in 2015, he has been a nonstop moving target for Democrats, their allies throughout the media and the unelected bureaucratic swamp that is the deep state personified. Baseless allegations and name-calling were just part of the daily activities as that echo chamber refused to stop ringing.

Both Trump impeachments were counterfeit and served as a blatant diversion of the deep state’s machinations that continues to chug along at full bore.  Considering the nonstop freight train that continues to pummel Trump over the last eight years, the Queens, New York native is still standing and is more cognizant than Joe Biden was 30-years ago.

The photo reminded me of a Parris Island dress blue photo shoot where only your war face would suffice. Any semblance of a smile or even a smirk would earn the wrath of the nearest drill instructor.  Trump’s pose would not have disappointed as it was a “you’re fired” scowl straight out of The Apprentice.

Booking photos are usually an exercise in humility. Trump made it into an opportunity to showcase his campaign’s grit and determination. The image is now blazoned on T-shirts, coffee mugs, even shot glasses and since mugshots are copyright free expect more of the same.

Photographs are much more than their pixels – they hold much of their mystery in perception – a moment forever frozen in time.  Trump is a living meme and more than willing to fight no matter the odds.  The mugshot is a rallying point for his base. Moreover, the photo is a significant political portrayal on just how far American politics continues to unravel at blinding speed.  Those pixels of Trump have cemented itself alongside iconic photos like the Iwo Jima flag raising and the flight at Kitty Hawk, securing itself a unique place in American history.

However, this is not a celebratory photo, no matter what political affiliation you identify with.  Since the advent of the FBI’s Most Wanted List, what criminal ever faced so many indictments in different jurisdictions nationwide simultaneously?

Other than those whose eyes fall here; how many folks do you know that truly recognize what this situation represents?  Conservatives understand that their Judeo-Christian culture is under attack and that it is them who is the primary target with the former president providing cover.

If a parent speaks out at a school board meeting, they are a domestic terrorist.  If a pro-lifer prays while hindering access to an abortion clinic, expect an early morning raid from the FBI. Declare that only women can get pregnant and be prepared for a garden variety of backlash.

Meanwhile, the Bidens, Clintons, Barack Obama, and every swamp dweller gets off scot-free.

Keep electing Democrats and expect more of the same.  The choice is elementary: either you are for this White House administration that is Obama’s de facto third term, or you are not.

The cases against Trump are all scheduled to be heard during the middle of primary season. If anything, it will showcase the Democrats’ duplicity and most of all their hypocrisy. When will the reality that the nation is drifting toward tyranny cast out the mote out of thy leftist’s eye?

The Left got their prized Trump mugshot.

The question remains – will it backfire?

Postscript. Today as I write this there is a service going on at the Quantico, VA Marine Base cemetery and afterwards a  memorial at the Marine Corps Museum. I wish I could have been in attendance, but matters at hand did not allow me to do so. The service and memorial was for a great friend, a decorated hero, a Brother, and a dedicated Marine. His name was LtCol Vic Taylor, USMC (Ret). Although Vic was my monitor as a Major, I did not meet him until after we both retired and he lived on his ranch in Steamboat Springs, CO, and I on mine in Roscoe, MT. 

He sent me a picture of himself one time after we had a conversation on the phone about our early days in the Corps

LCpl B.V. Taylor, a Marine’s Marine!. My thoughts have been about you all day my Brother! God bless you sir!

For the life of me, I cannot understand how someone with a brain they aren’t sitting can be for this woman. The only reason I can think of is that they hate Trump so much they’d vote for for a squirrel to be president. Which means their  voting for a negative reason, not a positive. They simply do not give a hoot about what is good for America. I honestly feel that if the majority of Americans eligible to vote do so for her, I’m living in the wrong country.

On the Brink                                                                          By: Greg Maresca

Tomorrow’s election cannot be overstated as America’s prosperity and global influence lie in the balance making every ballot essential.

Recently, The Wall Street Journal reported that one in five claim they need to learn more about Vice President Kamala Harris. In our fingertip world of unending media, this is hard to fathom. This is the consequence when many get their political acumen from edited sound bites, Tweets and commercials.

Harris’ horizontal climb to headline the Democrat presidential ticket came by not earning one primary vote. Harris and Hillary Clinton both navigated their paths to power primarily through relationships rather than achievement. Harris is the DEI presidential candidate – the turtle on a fence post as there is no way she could have gotten up there on her own. Harris checks more boxes than the token U.S. Customs’ drug dog at the southern border.

Harris likes to claim the one freedom that unlocks all other freedoms is the freedom to vote – when no one voted for her.

Harris’s mother was Indian, her father is a half-white, half-Jamaican, she was raised in Canada and married a Jew. No word if she ever had an abortion but given her ardent support of the gruesome procedure, it gives one reason to pause.

For all the word salads Harris tosses together on the issues, she is clear and concise about abortion. Inflation, illegal immigration, crime – none matter to those who are obsessed with abortion. And no one is more fixated than Harris who flatly rejected any religious exemptions.

As someone who served as an attorney general, Harris knows but won’t admit that there is a fundamental freedom, enshrined in the First Amendment, that guarantees religious liberty, and conscience rights that are the soul of the abortion argument.

Every honest person knows that abortion kills the most innocent among us. Baby showers are proof. Harris is so thoroughly secular that religious liberty means nothing. Harris underscored this at a recent campaign stop when she informed those who yelled out “Jesus Christ is King,” that they needed to find another rally. Harris claims to champion women’s rights, but the facts, which the media purposely obfuscates, tells another story – from rampant sex trafficking at the border to forcing girls to share their bathrooms with boys.

If she loses the election, this will be one of the major reasons why. Harris is not only acting immorally, but irrationally.

There is not a genuine bone in her body and with her incessant eye-rolling, phony accents and nonstop cackle she is best suited as America’s ex-wife than our next president. Harris continues to flip on the issues she could easily find work as a circus acrobat.

Harris chose to be Biden’s vice president after suggesting on multiple occasions he was a racist before she was the first to flame out of the Democrat primary four years ago.

Her campaign went full bore with Biden’s strategy by setting a trail of wine bottles leading to the basement making her a charter member of the Democrats’ Candidate Protection Program.

Harris only qualification is that she is not Biden but will be just as easily manipulated. Harris is being propped up and supported by a complicit and corrupt national media that hates the foundational values and history of the nation she wants to lead.

Democrats called Bush Hitler, then McCain. Romney, and now Trump Hitler. In an election between Harris and Hitler, keep in mind that the Washington Post and the L.A. Times both declined to endorse Harris. The difference between Hitler jokes and a cow is, you can’t milk a cow for more than a generation.

During Trump’s presidency inflation was low, while under Biden-Harris it has soared. Illegal immigration has exploded as has crime. Biden’s record is a catastrophe, and Harris is co-owner of this disaster as vice president. Yet, Harris’ campaign’s number one issue is – abortion. Recently, when questioned on “The View” on what she might do differently over the last four years, Harris was unapologetic saying, “There is not a thing that comes to mind.”

Harris claims she is going to solve the problems she helped to create.

Harris is the most unqualified candidate to run for president in your lifetime, if not ever.

The Undecided

4 Comments

This is another good one from my favorite contributor, Marine Greg Maresca. You should send it to all your undecided “friends,” that is if you have any. I don’t!

THE UNDECIDED                                                                by: Greg Maresca

At least three percent of American presidential voters are “undecided.” In a tight race, provided the polls are accurate, such a modest percentage (158 million voted in 2020) translates to 4.7 million Americans remain fence sitters and could be the difference in November’s election.

Even Pope Francis is undecided, or is he? The pontiff’s take on America’s presidential race was concise saying, “Both are against life: the one that throws out migrants and the one that kills children.” Francis advised American Catholics to “choose the lesser evil.”

How anyone who is paying attention has yet to make up their mind is astounding. Conceivably, the undecided are more indecisive than anything, yet subconsciously they don’t realize it.

Perhaps the most potent of political questions that transcends every presidential election needs to be asked repeatedly:

Are you better or worse off than four years ago?

A concise examination is revealing and all too obvious.

As Vice President, Kamala Harris was appointed to “stem immigration across the U.S./Mexico border” and permitted the wave of nearly eight million illegal and unvetted immigrants. The results of which continue to flood our schools, hospitals, charities, courts and housing with an annual price of half a trillion dollars. The influx of illegals is dangerous and calculated as Democrats add to their constituencies knowing no illegal will bite the hand that feeds and enables them, while seniors have had to exhaust their savings or find employment to make ends meet.

American foreign policy has been a fiasco starting with the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal that cost 13 American lives while leaving billions in armaments to America’s enemies. When given a choice of supporting the police during the BLM riots, Harris balked. The Keystone pipeline was shelved, and energy expenses skyrocketed that fueled historic record inflation that saw insurance, utility and grocery prices skyrocket.

Harris won’t come clean on her real priorities which amount to the redistribution of wealth by taxing unrealized capital gains, establishing price controls, while you pay for others’ college tuition and Medicare for all – including illegals.

One Harris proposal is a $25,000 down-payment on a mortgage courtesy of Uncle Sam that has nothing to do with buying a house; rather, it’s about buying votes.

Harris will continue with the same economic and energy policies that brought upon the highest inflation rate in decades while identity politics continue to run amuck infesting every institution and level of government. Harris may prove to be more disastrous that Biden, pleasing America’s enemies.

What has been totally dismissed during this campaign is how the trustees from the Social Security Administration have been ringing the bell that the SSI trust fund will become insolvent in 2033, while Medicare’s insolvency will follow three years later in 2036.

Those infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is actually the hatred of conservatives, has caused them to lose objectivity. While the left nonstop compares Donald Trump to Hitler, is it any surprise that attempts on his life continue? Yet, it is the left that continues to assure Americans that the real threat is not the side doing the shooting.

Many will vote for Harris only because of their contempt for Trump, which on the deductive reasoning scale is a zero. Recently at a stoplight, I was behind a Sheetz gas tanker that had an advertisement saying: “I don’t have to think. The app knows my usual.” This is exactly what the left desires in its electorate – no need to think.

Provided he wins, Trump will serve only four years. And for whatever reason(s) you loathe him, his policies were successful in growing the economy and keeping the nation secure.

The deciding voter must choose between someone who changes as the moment dictates or someone who speaks the inconvenient truth, and has endured two impeachments, four federal prosecutions and survived two assassination attempts. One at least loves the country, flaws and all. The other is a disciple of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”

Steering this ship of state that has lost its rudder takes leadership not a figurehead and definitely not a puppet. Elections have consequences and we certainly get the leaders we deserve.

The direction couldn’t be any more opposed: Capitalism or Socialism.

Still undecided?

Then perhaps you need to sit this one out.

I am convinced that Obama is finishing his third term and hoping for a fourth. Neither of the puppets of the last 3 1/2 years combined don’t have the brains to pull off some of the shit they have.
