Local elections matter!-----A River of Doubt Runs Through Mail Voting in Montana | RealClearInvestigations

A River of Doubt Runs Through Mail Voting in Montana | RealClearInvestigations

"The prevailing narrative among Democrats, and much of the media, is that there was little if any fraud in the 2020 election, and therefore nothing to fear from Congress’s efforts to make mail balloting the new normal after its trial by fire in the pandemic. But a ballot audit from an unlikely place challenges this narrative, John R. Lott Jr. reports for RealClearInvestigations:

  • A comprehensive audit of the 2020 vote in Montana’s Missoula County found irregularities on a scale large enough to easily swing local elections, not to mention statewide elections in cycles past.
  • The audit of the sprawling county—antithesis of the large urban centers typically associated with election fraud—found 6.33% of the county’s 72,491 ballots lacking signed cover envelopes with official registration information crucial to verifying votes. It is against the law to count such votes.
  • Auditors estimated an even higher percentage of problematic votes after factoring in other irregularities.
  • Auditors also reported seeing dozens of signatures bearing strikingly similar, distinctive styles—some coming from the same location, a nursing home—leading them to strongly suspect one or more people cast fraudulent ballots.
  • While the Missoula audit found more than 5,000 votes with unexplained irregularities, fewer than 500 votes separated the candidates in two local races for state legislature, and at least one previous statewide race was determined by fewer than 3,000 votes...Read all!

"...thoughts which seem to be taboo in academia.”-----Intellectual magazine removes professor’s column critiquing critical race theory

Intellectual magazine removes professor’s column critiquing critical race theory

  • Scholar republishes it on his personal blog: ‘I offer no apology for stating reality’

"A lengthy column by a professor that critiques critical race theory and the concept of “whiteness” and “blackness” was removed by an online intellectual magazine after it generated controversy....The publication bills itself as providing “an academic platform where ideas and concepts can be praised and challenged.” 

The scholar’s 2,663-word column argued that racism and ethnic strife is not a recent historical development, but spans human history. He also took on the “whiteness” and “blackness” trends in higher education today:

The concepts of Blackness and whiteness are in themselves deeply racist as well as highly erroneous. Both terms are used to describe individuals’ life experiences based on the tone of skin. This in turn becomes highly problematic because skin tone is a poor predicate of personal views, ethics, worldview, religious belief and of course personality. Both terms also erroneously assume the homogeneity of a very large groups of people based purely on the content of melanin or lack thereof....

And while he does not mention it specifically by name, he argued that critical race theory is a big grift...

And on his YouTube Channel, ThePonderingProfessor, he has posted videos that question diversity initiatives and academic propaganda.

Naudé, who grew up in Australia and South Africa, told The College Fix his videos aim to serve as an open forum “for thoughts which seem to be taboo in academia.”...Read all.

#1 This day 1964-----The Beatles - She Loves You (Stereo mix)

A citizen looks at Biden's "outrage".

Facebook--Becky Pulling Gaconnet
"Before you jump on any bandwagon agreeing with Joe's remarks that election law changes are "sick," please read at least two articles on the legislation that passed in Georgia.
Take this paragraph from NBC News as an example of what you might see:
"The new law adds a host of restrictions, like requiring identification for mail voting and making it illegal to take food or water to voters in line."

Aha! "Restrictions" -- We start by using a word with negative connotations. 
Those dirty old lawmakers are trying to RESTRICT voting! 
But let's face it: Restrictions can be a good thing. 
  • In this case, they will require mail in voters to copy their DL number or the last four of their social security number on the forms they send in....how is requiring ID information racist or even restrictive? Is she suggesting that some people aren't capable of getting and using identification documents? Are some racial groups exempt from these requirements?..
  • Now, what about that "not allowed to bring food or water to people in line." "Oh, my.....Republicans are trying to starve people to death to prevent their voting!" Joe wants you to think. He says Republicans are SICK! (Please feel free to check the fact checks on Joe's press conference.)Not so fast. When you vote in Texas, do you notice the 100 foot markers and a crowd of candidate signs and candidate supporters in t-shirts with the candidate's name on them congregated just past that sign? No campaigning is allowed within 100 feet of the entrance to the building where voting is taking place. Thus, if you walked up to the door of the Brazoria Library, as an example, wearing a "VOTE for Bob" shirt and handed somebody a bottle of water, you would be violating Texas voting law. So, I looked it up....(You can do this, too). This Georgia provision about not providing food or water to voters in line is an update to the existing provision that "gifts" of any sort may not be provided to voters "within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building" being used as a polling place. The change in law simply specified that food and drink is included in the gift category. Yes, it sounds like a silly law. But if you investigate further, you will see that it has a purpose. People who want to influence voters need to do that before they get in line to vote. 
Again, please stop people from calling this voter suppression. 
And I am totally befuddled by the idea that this particular voter suppression is racist. 
White people eat and drink, too...Read all.

Everyone agrees!

Guns save lives!-----Some Arguments for Guns You Never Hear | Intellectual Takeout

Some Arguments for Guns You Never Hear | Intellectual Takeout

A regular column in the magazine is the “The Armed Citizen,” which offers readers half-a-dozen or so accounts of Americans defending themselves with their firearms. Here is a typical one:

Around midnight on Friday, Jan. 8, a Miami, Okla. homeowner in his living room heard someone banging on his back door. The homeowner was able to arm himself with his shotgun as he heard the intruder go through a window in the back bedroom. When the two men came face to face, the intruder charged at the homeowner, forcing him to defend himself. He fired his shotgun once, striking the intruder. The assailant was taken to Miami Integris Hospital where he was pronounced dead. According to online court records, at least 12 warrants had been issued for the suspect prior to this incident. (tulsaworld.com, Miami, Okla., 1/8/21)

Guns prevent 2.5 million crimes every year, including 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes, the Foundation for Economic Education reports. 

This is a crucial part of the argument often overlooked by those wishing to regulate or confiscate our firearms...Read all.

Fact Check: Biden Falsely Claims Migrants Are 'Not Getting Across Border'

Fact Check: Biden Falsely Claims Migrants Are 'Not Getting Across Border'

CLAIM: During a press conference Thursday, President Joe Biden claimed “the vast majority of families who are coming” to the United States are being removed and that “they’re not getting across the border.”

VERDICT: Mostly false. While more than 70,000 border crossers have been removed from the U.S. using the Center for Disease Control’s Title 42 authority, implemented by former President Donald Trump, Biden’s administration has released more than 23,400 border crossers into the U.S. interior since taking office.

How to beat the woke: Never apologize, rally friends and punch back harder

How to beat the woke: Never apologize, rally friends and punch back harder
"Americans hate woke culture...what can you do about it — especially if you or someone you are close to comes under attack?
  • ...Lesson one: Don’t panic — and don’t give in. Ian Prior, of Loudoun County, Va., publishes The Daily Malarkey, an Internet humor site that goes after what he calls the “Chardonnay Antifa.” As he recently recounted to Fox News, after he published an op-ed attacking political correctness, he found himself on the sharp end of woke attacks led by a group of teachers, administrators and woke citizens. According to news reports, the Loudoun Stalinists put together a list of people opposing their policies and planned to “hack” them, “expose” them and “infiltrate” them. Did Prior chicken out?  No. He called them out, he mocked them, and he made sure the whole thing got as much attention as possible. Now there’s a criminal investigation into the group. The publicity not only generated blowback against the people who targeted him, it also brought in lots of new subscribers to The Daily Malarkey. Win-win.

Learn from this. 
Never apologize, don’t act afraid, and, to borrow a phrase from Obama, “punch back twice as hard.” 
Call the mob out for what it is: a bunch of bad people trying to pretend they stand for something moral. Going after people for their political views this way isn’t an act of morality. 
It’s an attempt at political terrorism, and it’s un-American.

Conservatives blasted Kristi Noem for vetoing a transgender sports bill. Her office accused them of 'uninformed cancel culture' - TheBlaze

Late last Friday afternoon, after previously saying she was "excited" to sign the bill, Noem blindsided conservatives by changing her position in an announcement that said she would send it back to the legislature with proposed changes. Stating that H.B. 1217 was "unrealistic in the context of collegiate athletics" and raising concerns that it would make South Dakota vulnerable to litigation, the governor invoked a power from the veto clause of the South Dakota Constitution that permits her to send bills "with errors in style or form" back to the legislature with specific recommendations for change.

Important!-----The fall of Chile is a warning to America

The fall of Chile is a warning to America
"Back in the 1970s, the nation of Chile embarked on one of the boldest sets of free market economic reforms in history. 
The government called in the Chicago Boys, as they were called, led by Milton Friedman and other University of Chicago free market economists.
They were given a free hand to redesign the Chilean economic system with property rights, a low flat tax, privatization of the Social Security system, and industry deregulation. 
In 1991, Friedman wrote that Chile now has "the three freedoms: economic freedom, political freedom, and human freedom. It will be interesting to see if they can keep it."
For four decades, the experiment worked better than anyone could have imagined. 
  • According to a study by economist Axel Kaiser for the Cato Institute: "Between 1975 and 2015 per capita income in Chile quadrupled to $23,000, the highest rate in Latin America (CNP 2016). 
  • As a result, from the early 1980s to 2014, poverty fell from 45 percent to 8 percent (CNP 2016)." 
  • Chile became one of the wealthiest nations in South America. 
  • And it happened in three decades, an eye blink of history.
...Eventually, the leftists pulled off a political coup. 
In 2013, the Left won the Chilean presidency. 
The free market reforms were systematically replaced with "spread the wealth" platitudes. 
In October 2020, voters approved a rewrite of the constitution, and now property rights and the rule of law are in danger.
  • Chile is now in economic free fall. 
  • The poor are getting crushed. 
  • The rich are pulling their money out of the country. 
  • They have arrived at "equality."

Lincoln banned as evil by Chicago politicians
Chicago Democrats to ban Lincoln.

Blacklists are back and the Democrats got ’em: Lori Lightfoot, the Democratic Party mayor of Chicago, has begun the formal process for removing forty historical monuments in Chicago, including statues of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Ulysses S. Grant.

Her reasons for throwing these fundamental Americans into the scrap heap of history? Well, she created a committee to review 500 monuments in Chicago and ended up deciding that 40 should go. It has said this:

Reasons for making the list include promoting narratives of white supremacy; presenting an inaccurate or demeaning portrayal of Native Americans; celebrating people with connections to slavery, genocide or racist acts; or “presenting selective, over-simplified, one-sided views of history.”

…Besides five statutes of Lincoln, others on the list include the General John Logan Monument in Grant Park; the General Philip Henry Sheridan Monument at Belmont and Lake Shore Drive; a statue of Benjamin Franklin in Lincoln Park; the Haymarket Riot Monument/ Police Memorial at 1300 W. Jackson Blvd; the Italo Balbo Monument in Burnham Park; and the Jean Baptiste Beaubien plaque at the Chicago Cultural Center. [emphasis mine]
