Democrats build on a soft foundation.

I see parallels with the Democrats focus on race, gender, identity, grievance. It is politics of the moment. It is poorly thought out. It lacks internal consistency. It crumbles upon inspection.

I have not read a piece summarizing the full implications of this and whether it calls into question the official results. This certainly appears to be willful illegal activity.

Is this satire? Hard to tell.

Democrat Governors Afraid Cuban Desire For Freedom Could Spread To The U.S.

“…U.S.—As Cubans cry for “freedom”—a common refrain of right-wing radicals— Democrats are starting to worry that this dangerous movement could gain momentum in the U.S.

“These Cubans—or Q-bans as I call them—have obviously been influenced by some radical Trump-type figure,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom. “I’ve worked hard in my state to clamp down on freedom in order to fight COVID and climate change, and the last thing we need is people now thinking liberty is a good thing.”

Democrats have made dictating to American citizens what they can do a big part of all their plans, and this strategy has been especially prominent during the pandemic. Now many governors and other Democratic politicians are afraid outside influences could turn people against their careful plans, such as randomly telling people when to wear masks.

“My beautiful, beautiful socialism!” Senator Bernie Sanders cried as he fell to the floor before President Biden in the Oval Office. “Cuba was supposed to be a beacon to the rest of the world! We have to stop this spread of freedom! Cut off the internet if you have to!”

“You can’t cut off the internet!” exclaimed Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “That’s how I order pizza!”

“I like mojitos!” said President Biden as he licked some ice cream.

The White House is still formulating a response to the situation in Cuba. For now, they are advising that if you see anyone espousing extremist notions like freedom, you report them to the nearest government authority. And if you can’t find a government authority, report them to Facebook…”

Audit fraud and errors in Fulton County, Georgia

Press-Release-New-Evidence-Reveals-Georgia-Audit-Fraud-and-Massive-Errors

“…New Evidence Reveals GA Audit Fraud and Massive Errors

ATLANTA GA – Petitioners in a lawsuit organized by VoterGA to inspect Fulton County ballots have added stunning claims in their amended complaint and provided new evidence from public records that show Fulton County’s hand count audit of the November 3rd 2020 election was riddled with massive errors and provable fraud.

Most new allegations and evidence are based on a VoterGA data team’s analysis of Fulton’s November 2020 mail-in ballot images made public after petitioners won a court order on April 13th and VoterGA lobbying efforts led the Georgia General Assembly to make all images public under Open Records Requests beginning March 25th.

The team’s analysis revealed that 923 of 1539 mail-in ballot batch files contained votes incorrectly reported in Fulton’s official November 3rd 2020 results. These inaccuracies are due to discrepancies in votes for Donald Trump, Joe Biden and total votes cast compared to their reported audit totals for respective batches. Thus, the error reporting rate in Fulton’s hand count audit is a whopping 60%.

One type of error discovered involved duplicate results reporting for batches of ballots. The team found at least 36 batches of mail-in ballots with 4,255 total extra votes were redundantly added into Fulton Co. audit results for the November election. These illicit votes include 3,390 extra votes for Joe Biden, 865 extra votes for Donald Trump and 43 extra votes for Jo Jorgenson.

But it is not simply a case of errors. The VoterGA team found 7 falsified audit tally sheets containing fabricated vote totals for their respective batches. For example, a batch containing 59 actual ballot images for Joe Biden, 42 for Donald Trump and 0 for Jo Jorgenson was reported as 100 for Biden and 0 for Trump. The seven batches of ballot images with 554 votes for Joe Biden, 140 votes for Donald Trump and 11 votes for Jo Jorgenson had tally sheets in the audit falsified to show 850 votes for Biden, 0 votes for Trump and 0 votes for Jorgenson.

Fulton Co. failed to include over 100,000 tally sheets, including more than 50,000 from mail-in ballots, when the results were originally published for the full hand count audit conducted by the office of the Secretary of State for the November 3rd 2020 election. Those tally sheets remained missing until late February when the county supplemented their original audit results.
Petitioners contend that Fulton County did not provide drop box transfer forms for at least three pickup days when obligated to do so via an Open Records Request. Those missing forms are still needed to provide chain of custody proof for about 5,000 ballots.

The VoterGA data team also found over 200 Fulton County mail-in ballot images containing votes not included in the hand count audit results for the November election. All these anomalies are now included in the Fulton County ballot inspection lawsuit as additional counts of how the Equal Protection and Due Process Constitutional rights of Georgia voters were violated…”

Commentary on current times by Wilfred Reilly

An interesting phenomenon today is that there exists a whole genre of plain truths which everyone – across all races, etc – would agree to in a barbershop, on a basketball court, or on a golf course…but which almost cannot be mentioned in “polite” discourse. 

(2) I’ll name one for every 50 likes.
(3) While police brutality is Very Bad, something like the 90% majority of people shot by cops are violent repeat felons, usually struggling with the officer.
(4) Males and females are different in obvious, easily measurable ways, some quite enjoyable.
(5) Dads matter. A lot. One of the biggest predictors of virtually every negative outcome in life, particularly for girls/women, is not having a present/in-home – preferably married – father.
(6) Many/most poor neighborhoods will be “food deserts” until epidemic CRIME decreases. No one wants to build a shiny new store only to have it burnt down, and ‘urban enterprise tracks the crime rate.’
(7) The left-wing riots which raged through ~all of 2020 were far larger in scope than “one six,” killed a HELL of a lot more people (25+), did $2,000,000,000 in damage…and were intentionally minimized by a dishonest media no one trusts anymore.
(8) Many famous and universally praised people right now – I’d say especially on the left side of the fence, but am open to both arguments – are very stupid, in the literal sense of “not having a high IQ.” You are NOT imagining this.
(9) While I’m on that point, IQ and similar scores are real – not “meaningless,” “biased” in the statistical sense, etc. They don’t measure max POTENTIAL, but your grades and aptitude boards at the end of (say) college are actually a damn good predictor of how you’ll do in life.
(10) Dogs aren’t children.
(11) Almost no one is actually oppressed in 2021 America. While radical brothers and the edge right scream at each other about who the REAL ultimate victim is (it would actually be a disabled Hispanic woman), immigrants from places like Vietnam are kicking everyone’s ass.
(12) Since I see this thread now has ~1,200 likes, I’ll end it here.

Senator Warnock a former supporter of Castro’s Cuba has apparently changed his mind on the regime. It is complicated being a Democrat.

Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19

“…Meta-analyses based on 18 randomized controlled treatment trials of ivermectin in COVID-19 have found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality, time to clinical recovery, and time to viral clearance. Furthermore, results from numerous controlled prophylaxis trials report significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin. Finally, the many examples of ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality indicate that an oral agent effective in all phases of COVID-19 has been identified…”

One good thing that may come from all this is that the Covid crisis has exposed how bad our scientific and medical elite are. They often behave as children, unable to differentiate their professions from their political opinions. Many Americans have lost trust in these important institutions.

LA County Sheriff Running Against “Woke Left”

“…If you needed any more evidence that the Democratic embrace of the Defund the Police movement is in full retreat, look no further than the re-election campaign of Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva. Four years ago, when Villanueva first ran for the office, he portrayed himself as a stalwart progressive who would prevent the sheriff’s office from cooperating with ICE in enforcing immigration law and would work to end cash bail for most offenders.

Now, Villanueva’s running for re-election, and his campaign messaging has undergone a remarkable shift from what voters heard in 2018.

“We’re running against the woke left, and we’re going to win,” said Javier Gonzalez, a campaign consultant for Villanueva. “It’s going to be a revolt of the regular people who want things done.”…”

Donna Brazile Doesn’t Understand Why It’s ‘Criminal’ to Violate Election Laws

“…We’re going the need the receipts for this one, Donna. Here’s what former interim DNC chair Donna Brazile said on ABC “This Week” on Sunday: “I’m an election official, ok? And if I began to give people access to the ballot through online applications for absentee ballots, I can be arrested. It’s criminalizing voting in ways we should not criminalize voting.”

Well, yes. If you break the law, you’re a criminal. This is not complicated. If you violate election laws passed by the duly elected legislature, what you’re doing is illegal. No one should have the power to unilaterally change election laws, although several governors and secretaries of state did in 2020—illegally, in my opinion—citing COVID concerns…”

Democrats think that if they feel that the laws passed by the legislatures aren’t right they can just change them by themselves, because… reasons.
