On Winners & Losers

Harking back to the earlier "Caption, s'il vous plait" post, this appeared today in the Powerline's Pics of the Week:

The Name That Must Not Be Spoken

Next time some Libertarian (or Whig) starts telling you how the Rs must learn to ballot harvest, hit him with this.

In the last 2 years, the big name Demos have been throwing around the term "our democracy". At the risk of being redundant, democracy, the way they have been using it since the days of Joe McCarthy, means lynch mob. Look at social media and the world of "influencers"; some of them decide to go after someone (Libs of TikTok is a great example) and try to hound them out of the arena. In the old days 50 years ago, it was a lot easier - only 3 TV networks, no Internet. They still do it, but people are fighting back. The man with the mean tweets showed them they can win.

Democracy is also a code word (I love it when the Demos can get strung up with their own rope) for vote fraud. As James O'Keefe showed us back in '16, Demos will happily admit they can't win without cheating. We know some of the tricks.

Now we know how it's pulled off.

Here’s the fraud equation taking place across the country:

• Count the in-person votes on election day.
• Count the early, in-person votes.
• Shut down the system (Atlanta water leak, Maricopa County everything).
• Bring in undeliverable ballots gathered when you changed voters’ names, addresses, or zip codes, then changed them back.
• Determine the votes you need to win. Press the “WIN” button.

Wait for the Republicans to file a lawsuit months later.

Of course, they're also just printing up ballots by the thousand and all the rest of the scams. Oh, and people are starting to go to jail for "illegal" ballot harvesting. With state courts rigged with machine judges, it's going to take, as I've been saying the last 2 years, some extra-Constitutional measures to fix an  extra-Constitutional situation.

The past month or so, we've seen some incidents which may turn out to be extra-Constitutional. The Uni-Party doesn't like to hear the term "vote fraud". There are a few other terms they may turn out to like a lot less popular. 20 years of The War on Terror saw a lot of men learn how to be Rangers, Special Forces, SEALs, SWCCs, etc.

Our side may be learning something much more effective than ballot harvesting.

On Baggage & Loot

 

You Make The Call

First, there was the treadmill and Harry Reid suddenly left politics.

Then, there was Paul Pelosi with the Gay Hammer in the observatory and the wife, Steny Hoyer, and Jim Clyburn decided they didn't want to be the Third Triumvirate, after all.

Now,  we have news 5 cars rented by the Brandon family (technically the Secret Service) have burst into flames

Anybody get the feeling the Second Civil War has started and John Mosby just might be on our side this time?

UPDATE: The Secret Service has determined the blaze was not suspicious.

Sure 

The fire started 40 feet away from the airport’s 25,000 gallon jet fuel tanks. And Idiot called for all semiautomatic guns to be banned during his visit.

Sure sounds like a message to me.

On Conforming & Confirming Beliefs & Opinions

 

This week, it was the Mini Wheat in Powerline's pics made me smile along with Mona Lisa's beef.

On Belief & Disbelief

 

"'Masking and social distancing should be encouraged or even mandated once more in public in order to protect people from COVID-19 and from the possibility of suffering from "Long COVID,' according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services."

Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine supports a new HHS report that says mask mandates would help people avoid long COVID.

On Corruption, Fobbing Off & Shifting Winds

 

Trump and Stahl were discussing Trump’s presidency, when the former president asked why CBS was not investigating whether then-Vice-President Joe Biden was involved in business dealings with his son, Hunter.

Stahl said Rudy Giuliani and Steven Bannon were the sources of the laptop story, while Trump was “making this one of the hottest, most important issues.”

Trump said it was important “to find out whether or not a man is corrupt who’s running for president.”

Stahl pushed back and said “all these things have been investigated and discredited.” 

“I think it’s one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen and you don’t cover it. You want to talk about – ” Trump said before Stahl interjected.

“Well, because it can’t be verified.”

“You want to talk about insignificant things,” Trump continued. “Of course it can be verified. Excuse me, they found a laptop. Lesley, listen.”

“It can’t be verified,” she pushed back.

“What can’t be verified?” Trump asked.

“The laptop.”

Nov 21, 2022  "CBS News has verified the contents reportedly belonging to Hunter Biden’s laptop after conducting an independent forensic review, the network shared Monday."

On Thankfulness & Windows of Awareness

 As I was looking for a Thanksgiving themed picture to post while Mr M was brining the turkey for smoking tomorrow and preparing the stuffing, with my contribution of creamed onions already fixed and in the fridge, and a pie from the bakery waiting on the counter, I wandered over to Robert Malone's substack.  There I found an article on  "The Tragic Story Of A 14-Year-Old Vaccine Myocarditis Victim — One Of Umpteen Males Misinformed By Health Authorities." 

A year and a half ago, the boy's mother had sent out a celebratory tweet, expressing her thankfulness that her son had received his first COVID vaccine.  That thankfulness was short lived, when her son ended up in the hospital a month later after experiencing intense chest pain two days following his second vaccine dose.  "He was found to have elevated troponin levels (a key sign of heart damage) and an abnormal electrocardiogram. Every doctor Emily Jo (the mom) spoke to at the pediatric hospital Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta confirmed her son had vaccine-induced myocarditis.  The article closes with this: "More than a year later, Aidan is still recovering from a vaccine that had little to provide him in the first place.  Though some have shamed Emily for getting her son vaccinated, she is hardly to blame for trusting in tax-payer-funded health agencies whose sole function is to keep the public healthy and safe.    

In light of the FDA and CDC's outrageous push to vaccinate everyone with the new "bivalent" booster--despite explicitly "unknown" myocarditis risks--hopefully more people will wake up and re-evaluate their blind faith in the institutions who have far abandoned their ostensible mission of keeping us safe and healthy. "

I continue to be thankful for the people who were willing to step up and stand outside the norm to provide the information I needed to make it safely thus far through COVID without being compromised by the vaccine.  Thankful too for the means to still receive information that doesn't fit pushed political narratives and agendas, yet fits with truth as I see it.  

While at Malone's substack, I also found these two.  Though not directly in keeping with turkeys or thankfulness, they appealed to my sense of gratitude over being able to look out of and through my own electronic window on the world, along with relief felt that I've so far managed to avoid the addictive draw of TikTok.
