Brutal tweets from Venezuelans who've seen this stolen-election movie before

Michael Welling @WellingMichael · Nov 5 Obviously @CNN and their biased coverage of this year’s #ElectionResults2020 is anything but impartial. Reminds me of #VTV election coverage in Venezuela 🇻🇪. #FakeNews

 Monica Showalter  "So how does this unfolding U.S. election disaster look to Venezuelans, Venezuelan-Americans, and neighbors in the region?

"Just sum it up this way: Venezuelans are coming out in force to state they've seen this movie before.  The fraud being played out now sounds as if Democrats used Venezuela as their how-to guide.

"Here's another Venezuelan from the western city of Valencia, who's seen this travesty, too:

‘American HUSTLE’: Party Insiders Tell The True Story Of How Philadelphia Elections Work

 Socio-Political-Journal.

Judges who obtained their positions by fraud, according to an indictment, have denied the Trump campaign's ballot-watchers access, providing crucial unsupervised time to Democrat vote counters.

"Most Americans might not know the name Ozzie Myers, although a part of his tale was told in the hit 2013 movie “American Hustle” about the FBI sting that sent four congressmen to prison in the 1970s.

"If you’re from Philadelphia, though, you know his name, and knew it well before 2013. He’s important to the country now because he’s currently under indictment for bribing a state elections judge to stuff ballots for Democratic candidates. Among the candidates he was paid to get elected are three as-yet-unnamed judges sitting on the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court. That’s where President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has to go when local election officials refuse to let campaign monitors oversee ballot integrity, as has been the case these past few days throughout Pennsylvania.

"In addition, Trump’s U.S. attorney, William McSwain, has hinted that in addition to the three unidentified judges, those Democrats tainted by election-fixing go all the way from local officials to the U.S. Congress.

"Why should anyone care about that court? Because it’s playing a major role in the presidential election.

"On Tuesday, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Stella Tsai ruled that the city’s Board of Elections was complying with state laws governing partisan election monitors, contradicting claims from the Trump campaign that GOP monitors were being kept too far away from absentee ballot-counters to observe whether ballots were being properly counted.

"Then on Thursday, a state appellate court sided with the Trump campaign, ordering that election observers be allowed to stand within six feet of ballot-counters to ensure meaningful monitoring of the process. The City of Philadelphia immediately appealed the ruling to the state’s top court, which has yet to decide whether it will take up the matter.

"Meanwhile, Republicans filed a lawsuit Tuesday in state court accusing Democratic election leaders of violating state code by authorizing local election officials to give information about rejected mail-in ballots to Democratic operatives so they could contact those voters and offer them a new ballot. Not only would such actions violate state law, they would defy a ruling from Pennsylvania’s state Supreme Court last month, which stated “mail-in or absentee voters are not provided any opportunity to cure perceived defects (to their ballot) in a timely manner.”

"The back-and-forth in the courts, and the accusations of corruption at multiple levels of government, underscores the outsized role local Democratic officials are playing in the presidential election, with President Trump narrowly trailing former Vice President Joe Biden in a few key states, including Pennsylvania. In Philadelphia, those local officials are often connected to a Democratic Party machine with a long history of corruption, organized crime, and election fraud." . . .

AOC And Democrats Are Eager To Archive Records, Make Lists To Ensure Trump Allies Face ‘Accountability’

 Hot Air


"This afternoon, AOC tweeted out a desire to make sure someone was keeping track of Trump supporter’s tweets so they could be held accountable for them:" . . .

Lol at the “party of personal responsibility” being upset at the idea of being responsible for their behavior over last four years

"Hmmm. I guess she can’t see the difference between “personal responsibility” which means success or failure is largely on you and the desire to create a list of bad people so they can be collectively shunned and punished by others. Cancel culture is not personal responsibility, comrade, it’s mob punishment.

"In any case, someone is already on the job today, launching what they are calling the Trump Accountability Project:

"Who is this person? She’s a former Buttigieg staffer:" . . .

Looking beyond Trump, Democrats blew it badly on Tuesday

 American Thinker  . . . "The big takeaway of the night: Republicans won; Democrats lost, spectacularly so.  Oh, and the psephology profession is now dead.

"To the first point, GOP candidates didn't just perform better than expected; the party as a whole is poised to make larger gains in the near future.  Holding the Senate circumscribes a President Biden agenda from the get-go.  Stoppage alone would have justified a conservative beano on Election Night.  But Republicans picked up at least six House of Representatives seats, with the possibility of further gains not far.  These unexpected captures weren't in bleak areas of rolling farmland — many took place in suburban enclaves that were supposed to house the Democrats' new gentry base."

. . . 

"The presidency is the bug light of politics, but if you're able to peer around it, the paths of the two major parties can be discerned.  Republicans would be foolish to abandon the populist-nationalist admixture Trump goosed the moribund party with.  Democrats can look forward to more losses if they continue to support, materially and otherwise, Antifa and urban rioters.  Trump-despiser Andrew Sullivan summed up what's looking like 2020's eventual outcome: "Biden wins; wokeness loses; Trump loses; Trumpism wins."  Vegas odds on Republicans taking back in the House in 2022 just plumped.

And for the political handicappers who got it all wrong again?  There's nothing left to say other than to ignore them, which most Americans have shown they do already.  The human ordinateurs were like Olympic sprinters who tripped halfway through the race in 2016 and had four years to train and better themselves to avoid the same mistake.  Yet they tripped again.  Don't watch them get up; better, even, don't offer a helping hand.  Let them stay down and think about what they did.  Dunce caps permanently grafted to their crowns would be a fitting punishment, Geneva Convention violation or not."



An Open Letter to Michelle Obama on Biden’s Racism

 The Blacksphere

A friend of mine wrote an open letter to Michelle Obama on Biden’s racism. He asked me to distribute it.

. . . "If Donald Trump had a history of lying to Black Americans about participating in the Civil Rights movement, you would have called him out publicly on it, would you not?

"You would have promoted the hashtag “#TRUMPCOMECLEAN,” would you not?

"Then, you would have called him “unqualified” to be President of the United States, would you not? Why? Because he would have intended to make fools out of Black Americans for personal political gain." . .  "So why do you support Joe Biden?"

"No doubt you have heard of high-profile activist Shaun King, who has gained the utmost respect of Al Sharpton. He wrote the following about Biden:

“Since the early 1970s, Joe Biden has been a serial liar. Especially when it comes to his ‘work’ in the Civil Rights Movement. It’s the equivalent of stolen valor and is fundamentally disqualifying.

(…)

Soon, it was discovered that Biden had not just plagiarized those four speeches, but had lied about academic awards, lied about scholarships, lied about his ranking at Syracuse Law School, where he had nearly been kicked out for plagiarizing five entire pages of an essay, and that he also frequently lied about something that he had made a central part not just of his 1988 presidential campaign bid, but of his entire public persona.

Temporarily, Joe Biden paid a price for most of those lies, but was never fully held to account for the worst of them all. On the backs of people who actually paid an enormous price for being activists and organizers in the Civil Rights Movement, Joe Biden created a completely false narrative of his work and contributions to the movement that persists to this very day. Instead of plagiarized speeches, he was plagiarizing details about his actual life. He not only told these lies in previous generations, they have now fully returned to his current stump speeches in churches and venues around the country as if he never acknowledged and apologized for them in the past. It’s shameful.”

"King continues:

“On two very important occasions, Joe Biden actually told the entire truth about his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. Nearly everything else has been a lie. I’ve counted at least 31 different lies he has told about being an activist, organizer, sit-in demonstrator, boycott leader, voter registration volunteer, Black church trainee and more in the Civil Rights Movement, but every single time I dig, I actually find more interviews, more lies, more fabrications, more tales he told to voters, reporters, historians, and more.

(…)

In September of 1987, with his presidential campaign completely consumed by his lies, Biden, with his entire public life in shambles, fell on his sword and told the truth about his lack of work in the Civil Rights Movement. In repeated interviews, campaign events, and national keynote speeches at the Democratic Conventions of both Maine and California, Biden told wild tales of how he marched, sat-in, and boycotted during the Civil Rights Movement and even went so far as to suggest that he had traveled to Selma and Birmingham with such actions, but with his campaign in tatters, he finally said they were all lies.” — “2 truths and 31 lies Joe Biden has told about his work in the Civil Rights Movement”.

"I interrupt to say that I referenced King’s work not long ago. I asked the very same questions, particularly given the calls of “racist” against President Trump. Clearly, Biden is the real racist. Perhaps worse, he’s an opportunist.

"Oliver continues"...

All in all, then, conservatives have good reason to be enraged by Biden’s victory. If we are less angry than the left was four years ago, it’s because we’re more stable emotionally.

 Personally, I’m not enraged. I won’t be unless it becomes clear that the election was stolen.    . . . "Though not enraged by Biden’s victory, I’m offended by it — offended that this mediocre man will become the president of our great country.

"It’s been exactly 100 years since Americans chose anyone even arguably as mediocre as Biden for our highest office. And at least Warren Harding had a distinguished vice president. Biden has Kamala Harris. Nor was Harding in a state of mental decline.

"The ascendency of Joe Biden to the presidency is an unmistakable sign of our national decline. That’s cause for sadness, though maybe not intense anger."

Fox News continues its move left

http://www.terrellaftermath.com/

This was noticed back in 2018 with the fear that Fox was becoming just another of the bunch; made manifest recently in the presence of non-journalist hacks such as Marie Harf and Donna Brazile. What's with Fox News, and why is it moving left?  . . . "Why are Baier and so many others acting so out of character?  I think it's because all those people obviously want to be liked by their peers and don't care about their viewers.  Instead of giving us any sort of balance in the news, they are rapidly coming to resemble their peers.

"How about a tough time explaining Juan Williams?  Does Baier have a tough time explaining Williams?

"Tonight, Baier had Mort Kondracke, a leftist, on his show, whose first comment was to call Trump a racist and a xenophobe. 

"Then Fred Barnes, who works for Weekly Standard, which has been anti-Trump since 2015, came on. 

"After that, we got treated to Mara Laisson from NPR, which is an openly far-left organization.

"OK, he did have Byron York. " . . .

Remember Harris Faulkner stopping Newt Gingrich's attack of George Soros?  Winning the approval of the left-wing Daily Beast.

The Left-Wing Takeover of Fox News  . . . "The Gateway Pundit website notes that Kathryn Murdoch regularly trashes Trump on Twitter. Indeed, her Twitter feed goes after many different conservative personalities and policies of all kinds. A collection of her most significant Tweets includes attacks on Trump aide Steve Bannon, and despondency over Trump’s election victory. On the other hand, she praised Fox News personality Shepard Smith for criticizing Trump.

"Her Tweets have included messages such as:

  • A vote for Trump is a vote for climate catastrophe.
  • Can we impeach a candidate? Seriously.
  • Happy to see this on Fox News. The final argument for Hillary Clinton, based on 3 indisputable facts.

"The latter was a reference to a Lanny Davis pro-Hillary article on the Fox News website." . . .

Nasa discovers mail-in-meteorite en route to Earth

 The People's Cube


"Experts at NASA have discovered a large object heading towards earth, made up completely of Joe Biden ballots. After calculating its mass, the scientists concluded that the meteorite contains approximately 19,000,000,000,000 galactic mail-in-ballots. An astronomical number, indeed.

"When asked how they are so sure the ballots aren't cast for the incumbent, a NASA employee said that there is no evidence that pro-Trump mail-in-ballots even exist in the universe. Team Biden has already promised to grant citizenship to all extraterrestrial aliens, even if they are bent on destroying humanity and devouring mankind.

"It will take about 400 years for the meteorite to strike earth. Pending the unavoidable arrival, Fox News has already called this election, as well as all other elections for all eternity, in favor of Biden and any other Democratic candidates running for office throughout the Galaxy."

A Judge Just Dethroned California COVID Dictator Gav the Gov.

Victoria Taft  "Gavin Newsom may want to mask up for the news. The California governor was just dethroned by a Superior Court judge who reminded him on Monday that he’s not a king, but a servant of the people – people who elected a legislature to make laws.

"Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman barred Newsom from making new 

coronavirus laws that use the “California Emergency Services Act [which] amends, alters, or changes existing statutory law or makes new statutory law or legislative policy.”

"The decision Monday afternoon was a pointed reminder to Newsom that there’s such a thing as a legislature, whose job, after all, is to make laws. It forbade him from exercising, as my colleague over at RedState Jennifer Van Laar characterized, “one-man rule.

"That assessment was echoed by California State Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who said, “the judge has ruled in our case against Gavin Newsom. We won. The Judge found good cause to issue a permanent injunction restraining the Governor from issuing further unconstitutional orders.”

"The ruling was met with delight by people sick and tired of the governor’s heavy-handed coronavirus diktats, such as the state legislators that brought the lawsuit.

"The lawsuit centers on one of the Newsom diktats from June that rewrote the laws on holding elections, which the legislature later adopted. Though it’s too late for Tuesday’s election and doesn’t apply because the legislature ratified Newsom’s diktat, the court reminded the governor that, going forward, he can’t rewrite the law even under his emergency powers." . . .

Governor Mask-Between-Bites Should Get Disinvited from Thanksgiving in California

. . . "Welcome to the gulag that is coronavirus California in 2020!

"After canceling Halloween, Governor Gavin Newsom issued his government edicts for the Thanksgiving table and, though this is hard to believe, they’re dumber than demanding people wear masks on the open beach in 80º weather. They’re so ridiculous that even mask-woke Hollywood leftists, who speak fluent dumb, are probably wondering about them.

“ 'Vernon Dursley” Newsom is now banishing the proletariat to Thanksgiving solitude, making no noise in our cupboards under the stairs.

"OK, that’s not entirely true. The governor is giving you permission to have some guests for Thanksgiving. Outside. Wearing a mask. Without exertion.

Gavin signs pro-reparations plan
"Californians may not celebrate Thanksgiving inside. Their dinners must be held outside with at “least three sides of the space (or 75%) … open to the outdoors.” Guests, who are required to wear masks, are also required to be kept six feet apart if they take them off. That’s going to have to be a gigantic table. Guests from more than three families “are prohibited.

"Those who pass the test may stay for only two hours. They shall not sing." . . .

Joy Reid: The Close Election Proves America is 'Racist'; MSNBC claims results show widespread ‘racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness’

Aren't we getting sick of this racial whining?

 Neon Nettle

                       Why isn't MSNBC ashamed of their race-obsessed personnel?

MSNBC’s Joy Reid declared that the close U.S. presidential election has somehow proved that America is "racist."

"On Wednesday, Reid told co-host Rachel Maddow that “a great amount of racism, anti-blackness, anti-wokeness” has been exposed by the closeness of the race between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden. 

"On Wednesday, Reid and Maddow discussed the closeness of the race and how the potential for a “red wave” bothered them so much because they’ve spent five years reporting on alleged Russian collusion, Trump “undermining national security,” “impeachment,” “racism” and "Nazis.”

"Yet, despite their best efforts, millions of Americans still somehow voted for Trump. 

" 'I think even though we intellectually understand what America is at its base, right?" Reid said." . . .

DISGUSTING: MSNBC's Joy Reid Uses Racial Slur Against Clarence Thomas:  "The “Uncle Tom” slur derives from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin and it is a derogatory term for a black man considered a traitor to his race by being too deferential to whites who take advantage of him. Reid also used the “Uncle Clarence” slur in multiple tweets on election night. In one tweet, she mocked four originalist justices, using the Uncle Tom slur and calling Samuel Alito “Scalito,” Barrett “Amy Covid,” and Kavanaugh “Beer Man.” In another, she demonized Thomas as a “hardcore theocratic ideologue” and an opponent of “voting rights and democracy.” 


Waiting...waiting...

 


An Election in Overtime  "Donald Trump over-performed the polls and shocked the pundits again on Tuesday, getting so close to the finish line that several key states have yet to be called.
"This is a significant achievement, and even if he doesn’t ultimately win, Republicans have a strong chance of holding the Senate and defanging a Biden presidency from the outset.
"But beginning late on election night, Trump has reminded everyone how he’s always refused to conform himself to the institution of the presidency, a fact that helped repel suburban and college-educated voters, perhaps dooming his reelection bid.
"In his 2:30 a.m. appearance before supporters at the White House, Trump said that he had already won the election and it was being stolen away from him in a fraud on the nation, vowing to go to the Supreme Court for redress. He doubled down with an even more outlandish statement on Thursday night.
"It’s not unusual for candidates in close, drawn-out elections to project confidence, but a president of the United States obviously shouldn’t declare himself the winner of a national election before the final result is known and allege fraud without any hard evidence." . . .

Hey, Democrats . . . How Is All of This Working Out for You?

National Review
                                         San Fran Nan and der Schumerglower

. . . "Look, the GOP has its own share of problems. But when Republicans have a lousy year — like 2006, or 2008, or 2018 — they generally see it coming. Almost every time the Republicans have a good year, Democrats get blindsided.
"Maybe Democrats should stop assuming that they have African Americans and Latinos locked up, and stop reflexively labeling all opposition to any aspect of their agenda racist. Maybe they should recognize that Americans of all races, creeds, and colors own small businesses or dream of doing so one day and don’t see capitalism as an inherently cruel and unjust system. As I discuss in today’s Morning Jolt, maybe Democrats should realize “socialism” is not a winning message among Cuban Americans, Venezuelan Americans, Nicaraguan Americans, and Colombian Americans.
"Maybe Democrats should look at the deranged accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, and the claims that Amy Coney Barrett is some sort of Handmaid’s Tale religious extremist, and realize that to at least half the country, they look unhinged. Democrats are never going to be the pro-life party, but maybe they can treat pro-lifers with respect and inch back towards Bill Clinton’s “safe, legal, and rare” philosophy.
"Maybe Democrats should speak up in defense of law-abiding gun owners every now and then.
"Maybe when people riot, Democrats should call it a riot. Maybe when a city has been poorly run for a long time, Democrats should say so and demand better results.
"Maybe when a judicial nominee uses the term “sexual preference,” Democrats should just gently say that term is used less often now, and not cite it, ipso facto, as evidence of a verbal hate crime." . . .  Full article . . .
