For all of the claims that the Trump people have been silent and not been working toward righting the wrong that was last November, it’s interesting to note that the mainstream press has completely ignored this little tidbit:
A Michigan judge ruled last week that Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated state law by unilaterally altering absentee voting rules ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
At issue is a now-invalidated directive Benson issued to Michigan clerks in October relating to the signature review of absentee ballots. In the guidance, the secretary of state reportedly directed clerks to conduct the signature review “begin[ning] with the presumption that” the signature on the absentee is valid.
The directive went on to say that if there were “any redeeming qualities in the application or return envelope signature as compared to the signature on file,” clerks should “treat the signature as valid.” Such “redeeming qualities” allegedly included “similar distinctive flourishes” and “more matching features than nonmatching features.”
But that “presumption is found nowhere in state law,” State Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray wrote in his ruling, issued March 9. “The mandatory presumption goes beyond the realm of mere advice and direction, and instead is a substantive directive that adds to the pertinent signature-matching standards.”
It should be noted that this was precisely the argument that the Trump team was making before the votes had even been counted and in many more places than just Michigan.
The Constitution quite clearly states that election law is the preview of the state legislatures.
But in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, and several other states, some 20 of them by my count, that power was usurped and it is beyond all logic to suggest that that power being stolen did not affect the outcome of the election.
It seems to me we have two alternatives. Invalidate that election removing the Democrats from power, else let the Democrats try and fight this one in higher level courts.

Word on the wire from down the road in Cleveland, this morning that Ford is planning on moving out of Avon Park Ohio to Mexico:
AVON LAKE, Ohio — Ford workers in Avon Lake were notified by letter from United Auto Workers leadership in Detroit that the automaker is not planning to bring a new line to their Ohio Assembly Plant (OHAP) but instead moving that production to Mexico.The letter from UAW Vice President Gerald Kariem stated that at the heart of the last contract with Ford signed in November 2019 was to increase job security and Ford, in turn, responded with a commitment to invest $900 million into the Ohio Assembly Plant, some of which was for “next-generation product to be added in 2023,” he wrote.
Didn’t the UAW just go all in for Biden as of last April?Ed Driscoll over at Instapundit answers that question.
And it occurs to me that not one single union leader or politician is going to lose one red cent over this Mexican move by Ford.Do you understand yet, union members? The union has never been about you.
So Dan Bongino and Cumulus have reached a deal.
It looks like Dan Bongino is getting a new show during the 12-3pm time slot on Cumulus radio stations:
I’ve been watching this one develop for the last several weeks. I’m happy for Dan. He deserves the bigger platform… but frankly the management at Cumulus has always left me a little cold. Lew Dickey junior is not the radio guy his old man was. (Full disclosure… I knew and worked for his father.) If you doubt this, look at the disaster that WABC in New York has become.
I’ve noticed that some consider that this is a move to replace Limbaugh and to a certain extent I suppose that’s true, (same time slot and all) but he’s not going to have nearly the number of stations. Remember that the Limbaugh deal was between Premier and Iheart, and Cumulus was secondary to that deal… And what Iheart is going to do at this point is just about anybody’s guess.
Slow Joe’s blonde, Jen Psaki. who pretends to be Press Secretary, has announced that Slow Joe, the shadow of man who pretends to be President, will pretend to hold his first press conference of his pretend administration, in nine days:
Are you a recent college graduate who can’t find a job because you majored in gender studies, art history, or interpretive dance? If so, you should consider an exciting and rewarding career as a Facebook fact-checker!
Fact-checking has become one of the fastest growing specialties within the booming tech industry. There’s just so much disinformation out there, including things we disagree with, things that might make people less likely to vote for progressives, and things we just find icky. That’s why good fact-checkers are in such high demand!
But don’t worry — fact-checking doesn’t require a great deal of knowledge or actual education, much less critical thinking skills. That’s why it’s perfect for today’s college graduates. In fact, there’s only one real job requirement: you must have spent the last five years in a progressive bubble, where literally everyone you know believes things like “a man can have a baby,” “climate change will destroy the planet in 12 years,” and “Joe Biden in not suffering from dementia.”
Look, everyone knows that this is precisely what is happening. And it’s not just Facebook. The mainstream media too, has fallen in line with the leftist lockstep, on the order of a Pravda, as Matt Taibbi points out.
But you know, the case of Facebook (and for that matter Twitter, I suppose,) are far more egregious given that they directly attack the individual. As Matt Taibbi suggests in his piece, very few Russians actually read property without laughing, but it being out there to laugh at is precisely the point.
In the case of Facebook however… when these idiotic “fact checkers” go to work, it’s entirely impossible for the public to even discuss the matter much less laugh at it, social media, thus controled,
You may remember big tech execs being hauled up before Congress over free speech issues. The threat was that they were going to be broken up
Well all that’s changed now..
With the Democrats at the reins of all three branches of government, that’s no longer the case. Do you know how I know that? Simply put, big tech is eliminating from their platforms all opposition to Democrats.
The Democrats recognize a good political weapon when they see one.
Personally my thinking on that subject is those show trials were intended to scare the management at Facebook and Twitter and whatever else into liberal lockstep. The tool, having performed its task, gets dropped like a wrench. There is now no more to talk about raining in big tech since they have fallen into line.
As I say, the Democrats recognize a good political tool when they see one… Facebook is more effective in turn, at controlling the population than Pravda ever could be, to the point where I have to wonder openly if a free society can survive such an entity.

We’ll have some style changes coming along shortly as well.
Nothing says “military readiness” like
“Maternity Flight Suits”.
Well yeah, and Tucker Carlson addressed that.
(Repeated appeals for unity)
Understand this, if nothing else: the left isn’t demanding unity, they’re demanding conformity with their ideas.
“Put trust and faith in the American government”
People, Biden either doesn’t understand or doesn’t want to understand that the founders put this country together based on the idea that government should never be trusted and should always be controlled and limited.
When he came up with this line, I immediately flashed on Voldemort saying “henceforth you will put your trust in me.”
And I won’t even address his use of the word “faith”, past noticing that this is from the party that booed God at their most recent convention.
Joe Biden says if we keep doing what the government wants us to do we might be “allowed” to celebrate July 4th with our friends.
So let’s make sure we understand this. A multi-millionaire with half a brain that’s still functional tells me that I might be able to enjoy the 4th of July… Independence Day… when we celebrate limited government if I behave myself?
Again clearly indicating that he has no clue whatsoever about the foundations of this country. I mean, just let that sink in for a moment or two.
Has anybody noticed that Biden has repeatedly refused to comment affirmatively on demands for the resignation of Andrew Cuomo?
Well there’s a reason for that of course. All the photographic evidence of Joe Biden doing precisely that would cause people to insist that he resign as well.
won’t hurt my feelings, but given the level of coordination of these attacks on Fredo, I’ve got to wonder if what will end up with should Biden disappear will end up being even worse.
Hard to imagine, I know, but still…
Today’s ascendant leftism means that I’m doing exceptionally well in the prediction business. When leftists have power, if you always assume the worst, you will seldom be wrong.
After all, leftists are nothing if not predictable. No matter the means they choose, the ends are the same: Anti-liberty, anti-unity, anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, anti-Constitution (and, specifically, anti-First, Second, and Fourth Amendments)…I could go on but you get the point. Whether they use class, economic disparities, race, sex, or imaginary genders, the point is to destroy liberty in all its manifestations. Easy to predict.
Yeah, no kidding. Frankly I came to that conclusion two decades ago.
There’s lots more here, and I suggest you go to the link. That said, I must put this into this post:
Last year, the media didn’t just lie about Trump (claiming he was incompetent and criminal) and Biden (claiming he was sentient and honest). They also didn’t just suppress news, such as the proof that Biden was pimping his drug-addled son to the Chinese and the Ukrainians while he was working in the White House. Instead, the media also bent their will to purveying corrupt news about the Wuhan virus to increase panic, change voting norms and, quite possibly, to hide evidence about medicines that could have blunted the virus’s impact. Cuomo wasn’t the only one who killed people for political ends.
Now you might say this is harsh, but I think the author here is under selling it. However bad you think the situation is, it’s actually worse.
The problem of course is not only that our educational systems (mostly government-run and populated by an 8:1 margin by people who consider themselves to be leftists) and our media (again,mostly populated by leftists) have been lying to us, there are far too many among us who believed the propaganda they’re being fed by these entities.
If you question that any of this is true, I will point out to you that there is evidence that propaganda has value. That’s how the advertising industry, for example, makes its money.
What we are dealing with is the manipulation of the American mind.
None of what we were told by the Democrats about Donald Trump was true, and the evidence is mounting that what they sold is about the competency of Joe Biden was equally untrue.
The question is of course, what to do about all this.
there is a great truth that we need to consider here…
A True king can walk among his people without fear of harm…
But an evil ruler has to have an army and walls to protect them!
When we are talking about Joe Biden, we are talking about someone who couldn’t draw enough people to his election rallies to fill a phone booth:
On the other hand, President Trump couldn’t seem to find a big enough place to hold his events. There were always people waiting outside:
So even before the election the signs were there that Biden simply wasn’t getting any support.
That should be the first clue that the election last November was illegitimate.
The second clue is the paranoia that we’ve all been witness to these last few months. There does seem to be something in the air which speaks rather loudly to a lack of consent of the governed.
The Democrats sense this too, thus the fences and military surrounding the capital these days.
(You know it’s odd, the military is the only government expenditure, the only government program the Democrats have traditionally disliked. yet now suddenly they find them of some degree of worth although from what I’m hearing the way those troops are being treated is nothing short of shameful.)
Add to the list of evidence the frenzied hurry in which the Democrats are passing and forcing down the throats of America their wildest political wet dreams. There doesn’t seem to be any doubt of the recognition that if they don’t hurry this garbage through they’re going to get more and more opposition to it.
My friends, these are not actions of people who have legitimately won an election.
And I’m not buying it for a second.
# Harry and Megan have just completed their 1 millionth interview about how all they want us to be left alone.
# More than 100 “migrants” released by the Border Patrol into Texas since late January have tested positive for the coronavirus following their arrival, officials in a city on the U.S.-Mexico border tell Fox News. (it’s funny how the Democrats don’t seem to be concerned about this new viral threat… Which in many ways is the same as piling covid-19 positive patients in the nursing homes.)
# Texas Mississippi and of all places Connecticut have started resuming normal life as regards Mask requirements, restaurants being closed etc. Joe Biden calls these people “Neanderthals”. You would think he would be better at recognizing Neanderthals than that, given he comes from that era.
# How screwed are we, when we spend so much time reassigning the sex of a plastic potato? And how empty must your life be when this is important to you? By the way, Hasbro has changed their minds on that one. Still…
# I’m not sure I want to know…
# Do you suppose it’s an accident these so-called “migrants” wearing Biden t-shirts at the border? Of course they’re public statements indicate they want “clearer policies”. Frankly I don’t know how much clearer you can be then saying.. “Go through the established process. You want to enter the country? Fine.. do it legally.”

Once the vote of the Governors reaches Mitch McConnell, he’ll have 10 days to initiate a trial for impeachment. Rumor has it they’re already building their case and that Giuliani and Dershowitz will be the legal minds arguing the case. That spells disaster for Pelosi.
As the article mentions, this has never been done before in our history but then on the other hand Pelosi is historically corrupt… so, it fits rather nicely.
The question now becomes assuming that this goes through as such, who ends up as speaker? Certainly, not Stenny Hoyer. It seems reasonable to wonder if AOC is our next speaker.
President Biden’s nominee to run the CIA, William Burns, is the head of a think tank that has routinely received large donations from groups linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
Folks, the biggest enemy of the United States is not china, it’s not russia, it’s not cuba, it’s not global warming, it’s the Democrat party.
A top FBI counterterrorism official testified on Wednesday that no firearms were recovered during arrests of rioters who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
“How many firearms were confiscated in the Capitol or on Capitol grounds during that day?” Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson asked Jill Sanborn, the FBI official, during a Senate Homeland Security hearing.
“To my knowledge, we have not recovered any on that day from any other arrests at the scene at this point,” replied Sanborn, who serves as FBI assistant director for counterterrorism.
“I don’t want to speak on behalf of Metro and Capitol police, but, to my knowledge, none,” she added.
Once again, the narrative being put out by the Democrats turns out to be absolute stable carpeting.
I tell you truly folks, if the Democrats are saying it, it’s the most solid indication you’re going to get that what they’re saying isn’t true.
Why does anyone trust them anymore?
According to The New York Times, 33-year-old Anna Ruch has claimed that Cuomo asked to kiss her at a wedding in 2019. In an interview Monday, she specified that Cuomo put his hand on her bare lower back.
Ruch said she pulled away and was “so confused and shocked and embarrassed” by the incident. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment,” she reportedly said.
A spokesperson for Cuomo reportedly referred the Times to a more general statement in which Cuomo apologized for things that “have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation.”
The involvement of the New York Times here, fits with something that’s been building in the back of my head for a while now.
Remember first of all, that these are all Democrats raising charges against Cuomo. And the New York Times of course is the liberal paper of record, and would normally be the one defending Cuomo or for that matter any other Democrat. When’s the last time you saw the knives out against a fellow Democrat? When’s the last time you saw the New York Times going wall to wall on something like this involving a Democrat?
Ignoring who’s covering the story for the moment, let’s consider that this many people coming forward against a Democrat, all at once, doesn’t happen all that often, which of itself leads me to the belief that this is a coordinated attack on Cuomo. Several low-level Democrats and the press .. Including the liberal paper of record, the New York Times…all playing along with this? There has got to be some coordination going on.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, but who’s responsible for the coordination? Who is pulling the strings?
My first instinct was the Clinton crime family. For the last 30 some odd years they’ve been the only ones who were powerful enough to pull this kind of thing off.
I mean, in that direction lies Jim Trafficant and Gary Hart to name but two… or if you like, Vince Foster and the remainder of the body count behind the Clintons. Not that they have a whole bunch of politically gained by eliminating Cuomo at this point, but there is always the motivation of revenge, vindictiveness. I can’t help but remember how vindictive the clintonista has been.
As with Hart and Trafficant, somebody has decided that Cuomo is too much of an embarrassment or at the least can be gotten out of the way fairly easily, to aid in someone else’s rising in power.
Certainly the Clintonistas still have a few teeth left to deploy.
And who else might it be? Obama, perhaps? Or perhaps whoever was pulling his string. and here’s where things start getting a little deeper.
And look, I fully admit I’m hip shooting here based on information currently available…
It’s been suggested that the AOC function of the party is going against everyone who is considered a moderate Democrat. (My stomach rebels at calling Cuomo moderate, but I see the point.)
Thing is, I don’t read the AOC faction as being quite that powerful. If they were, we would have heard about Pelosi being found in Golden Gate Park with one behind the ear.
But with that said, it would be interesting to do an investigation into the history of the people bringing charges against Cuomo. Their previous associations I think, would be very interesting indeed.
For me, that AOC scenario becomes problematic though, when we consider that the majority of them have the kind of intelligence that makes door knobs look like bloody geniuses.
I just don’t see them as having enough gray matter between them, collectively or individually, to pull off something like this without being told precisely what to do and when to do it, by somebody who is not upfront and in the limelight. As far as I can see AOC and her crowd are and always have been a circle of ineptitude and arrogance. As such they would certainly leave their fingerprints all over the knives stuck in Cuomo’s back. That we haven’t seen that kind of evidence yet suggests somebody directing this operation who is able to operate a little more subtly.
Understand, it’s not my intention to defend Cuomo. Not by any stretch of the imagination. Do I doubt these reported events happened? No. I’m convinced they did in fact happen.
But since when do we see Democrats prosecuting fellow Democrats for such offenses? Since when do we see these events covered in the New York Times of all places? And who is coordinating these efforts?
My instincts of the matter are that there’s something far deeper and more disquieting than simple party infighting.
Bill Kristol didn’t show up to the conservative conference, (and for that matter none of his cronies at The Bulwark didn’t either.)
Nor did Mitt Romney, nor did Mitch McConnell, nor did any of the rest of the establishment GOP. That’s because they’re not conservative. Never have been.
But Donald Trump did…
