PA Supreme Court Unanimously Shuts Down Illegal Vote Counting in McCormick-Casey Race

 Debra Heine

 “ 'We just confirmed with our attorneys that the Bucks County Board of Elections will comply with todays PA Supreme Court Order will not count undated and misdated ballots and these votes will be removed from the County’s vote totals,” the Bucks County GOP posted on X."

 "The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday affirmed its previous ruling that counties may not count mail-in and absentee ballots that have missing or incorrect dates or signatures, and  intervened to immediately exclude misdated and undated ballots from the count. The ruling comes amid an ongoing automatic recount in the razor-close race between Republican Senator Elect David McCormick and Democrat incumbent Senator Bob Casey.

“ 'It was a 7-0 decision not to count the votes that Casey and his D allies tried to slip through,” noted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer on X. “This is a sad way for Senator Casey to end his career. He should have spoken out against this. So too should Governor Shapiro.”

" 'Several Democrat-controlled elections boards had defied the previous ruling, counting hundreds of such ballots in recent days. Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties voted last week to count the illegal ballots.

"During a meeting last Thursday, Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia (D) argued that “precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country. And people violate laws anytime they want. For me if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention to it.”

"McCormick and the RNC filed an emergency petition with the state Supreme Court last week to stop the counties from counting the illegal ballots.

"Justice David Wecht rebuked the Dem-led election boards, stating in the terse opinion that “it is critical to the rule of law that individual counties and municipalities and their elected and appointed officials, like any other parties, obey orders of this Court.' ” . . .

Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating   . . . "When will the media and other Democrats come out and tell sanctuary cities and states that they must follow all federal immigration laws? The answer is never, because they pick and choose which laws they want to follow.

"Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, and the entire Biden administration never thought immigration laws that Congress passed applied to them. They openly violated their oaths of office, and most of the media cheered.

"Democrat governors are bragging about how they will not cooperate with the federal government to enforce immigration laws with Trump’s looming second presidency, and I haven't heard the media or other Democrats lecture them about following laws. It is a shame they care so little about citizens.

"Biden also never cared about the Constitution or the Supreme Court when he dictatorially used taxpayer funds to pay off student loans. He bragged about defying the courts." . . .

Florida Sues DOJ for Stopping State’s Probe Into Trump Assassination Attempt

"I’m old, but sadly not old enough to remember when the Founders gave the federal government NO police powers, and it was a creature meant to be controlled by the states and not the capital city (Foggy Bottom Swamp)."  Comment by henrybowman

 Mary Chastain; Legal Insurrection

 "Interestingly, until the 1960s, the only time the Feds investigated/prosecuted presidential assassination plots is when those plots/attempts occurred on federal property. Leon Czolgosz – McKinley’s Assassin – was arrested by Buffalo police, tried and eventually put to death by the state of New York. Lee Harvey Oswald was in Dallas POLICE custody when he was murdered. Congress didn’t enact the statutes the Feds use now until after the Kennedy assassination."  TargaGTS in reply to henrybowman


"Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a complaint against the DOJ after the agency blocked the state from investigating the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

"Ryan Routh faces charges for allegedly wanting to kill Trump at his golf course in Florida.

Federal prosecutors charged Routh with federal gun crimes. Federal prosecutors also asked the DOJ “to approve the more serious attempted assassination charge, which carries a maximum of life in prison.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed “an executive order directing agencies to ensure that appropriate state charges are brought against” Routh.

The DOJ and FBI “cited 18 U.S.C. § 351(f), which purports to temporarily ‘suspend the exercise of jurisdiction by a State or local authority’ when the federal government asserts jurisdiction over an assassination attempt of a major presidential candidate.”

18 U.S. Code § 351(f) states: “If Federal investigative or prosecutive jurisdiction is asserted for a violation of this section, such assertion shall suspend the exercise of jurisdiction by a State or local authority, under any applicable State or local law, until Federal action is terminated.”

Moody said federal officials told Florida officials the state “may not conduct its own investigation, may not interview witnesses, and may only cooperate with the federal government’s investigation.”

“Because § 351(f) does not prohibit such conduct, and because it would violate the Tenth Amendment if it reached so far, Florida sues to vindicate its sovereign interest to investigate violations of state law, as delay may impact the outcome of any prosecution,” added Moody." . . .

Adam Smith-Connor convicted in U.K. of thought crime for praying outside abortion clinic - Washington Times   . . ."Adam Smith-Connor, who served 20 years in the Army Reserves, was found guilty Wednesday of violating a buffer zone around a Bournemouth clinic in 2022. The court ruled that despite his silent prayer, his clasped hands and bowed head were enough to show “disapproval of abortion,” the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International, said in a statement.
" 'The defendant was charged under the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), a broad censorship order that localities can issue under a 2014 law to curb “anti-social behavior.”. . .

Silent prayer woman given payout over Birmingham abortion clinic arrest   ... "The campaigner told the BBC that as a "crisis pregnancy support volunteer" for 20 years, she had offered leaflets about charitable services available to women who would rather avoid abortion.
"But she added she "found it particularly shocking" to be accused of "intimidating" action, as she "would condemn anyone who tries to intimidate or harass women".

In addition, when she was arrested in November 2022, the centre was shut with no service users present, she said.

" 'I was there simply to pray for women facing very difficult situations and decisions. Prayer isn’t a crime. Neither is standing," she said.

"Ms Vaughan-Spruce highlighted a survey about reproductive coercion, commissioned by the BBC, in which 15% of the 1,000 UK women surveyed said they had experienced pressure to terminate a pregnancy." . . .


Meanwhile in America: Pro-Life Advocate Goes to Federal Prison Pending Appeal  . . ."I spoke with Ms. Williams in mid-September to hear her story. She told me the government accused her of blocking the entrance to the clinic. The government also accused her of hurting the hand of a clinic employee. According to Williams and her lawyers, the allegations were false but the jury convicted her anyway.

"Williams’ attorney, Aaron Mysliwiec, told Dinesh D’Souza in an October 20 interview that “the government tried to argue that Bevelyn made entrances impassable, but there was no point at which Bevelyn chained herself to an entrance, blocked an entrance in any kind of long-term way.”
"Mysliwiec went on to explain that her defense attorneys had to “fight to get into evidence dozens and dozens of other video clips, which thankfully the judge eventually let in, that showed every time someone came up to the door to either enter or attempt to exit, every time Bevelyn stepped aside.”

"District Attorney Damian Williams’ press release alleges “WILLIAMS pressed her body against the door of the Health Center’s patient entrance and refused to move, preventing a Health Center volunteer from entering the Health Center. As a Health Center staff member (“Victim-1) attempted to open the door for the volunteer, WILLIAMS purposefully leaned against the door, crushing Victim-1’s hand.”

"During our interview in September, Williams explained she neither crushed the employee’s hand nor did she block the entrance to the clinic. Williams, a steadfastly religious woman, shared that she “never moves without God on her side and did not show up unannounced to the clinic” in question." . . .

No politician can be so inept that the left cannot use them in our demise as a world power

 Mr. Biden, locked in my memory are images of your hate-filled face in speeches at the dark red-lit Freedom Hall in Philadelphia, your State Of The Union "Address", and your DNC speech, all easily taken to be a call for someone to kill Mr. Trump. If indeed that does happen, I hope the images of your hate-filled face will be coupled with that of President Trump's family standing around his grave. The Tunnel Dweller.  From Oct 23.

. . ."I guess that we will find out when someone decides to write a book about the Harris-Biden split.  In the meantime, we are left to speculate so let me give you my speculation.  My take is that Joe wanted out.  We've been hearing that the the two camps don't get along well or the dreaded word "tensions" or "bad blood."  Cantotalk

Oath of Office for the Presidency That Joe Biden swore at his Inauguration

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

But:...Biden-Harris DOJ Files Lawsuit To Stop State From Removing Noncitizens From Voting Rolls – ACLJ Is Fighting Back To Defend Election Integrity   "We are just over two weeks from Election Day, and the Biden-Harris DOJ is brazenly committing election interference. They’ve filed a lawsuit to block Virginia from removing noncitizens from the voting rolls. These are individuals who have marked on official documents that they are noncitizens but yet are still on the voter rolls.

"We’ve known for a long time that “Border Czar” Kamala Harris’ open border policies would lead to these kinds of election shenanigans, and now we’re seeing it come to pass. We’re preparing to fight back in court.

"Following the guidelines of a 2006 law signed by then-Governor Tim Kaine, current Gov. Glenn Youngkin carried out an Executive order to remove noncitizens from his state’s voting rolls – in total, between January 2022 and July 2024, 6,303 noncitizens were removed from the voter registration rolls."  

The ACLJ also won’t “stand idly by” as the Biden-Harris Administration commits open election interference. Our legal team is mobilizing and preparing to seek leave of court to file an amicus brief in federal court to prevent this attempt to undermine our American democracy. Our first court filing is imminent.

"She is so bad at this.  All she had to do was say, “Amen!” and move on.  She has the political instincts of a stunned duck."

Kamala Harris’s Threat to Religious Believers   . . ."Though Biden has not articulated it as Harris has, his public life demonstrates that he agrees with this truncated understanding of the exercise of religion. By all accounts, his “devout faith” has nothing to do with his moral convictions and opinions. Informed by secular left politics, Biden’s moral life is separate from, and seemingly innocent of, any trace of Catholic moral formation. And he would force this view on others through law and policy. For example, Biden has promised to force the Little Sisters of the Poor, an order of nuns who care for low-income elderly people, to facilitate procurement of contraceptives for their lay employees, reversing a recent victory for the nuns in the U.S. Supreme Court. This privatized faith is consistent with Harris’s deliberate misrepresentation of the First Amendment. Religion is private, and has no role in informing moral conviction, especially as it may bear on public policy. And indeed, religion may be prevented from doing so." . . .

"This is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s understanding of the “free exercise” of religion. And it is the foundation for severe restrictions on religious exercise."

John Kerry Thinks Free Speech Is “Dangerous” And “Outdated”

RTM  

"John Kerry isn’t the only one bashing the First Amendment. An anti-free speech movement is rapidly growing in the country led by law professors and supported by politicians, reported the New York Post." 


"John Kerry called the First Amendment “dangerous” and “outdated” while speaking at the World Economic Forum on Sept 24.

"During his WEF speech, Kerry said that free speech is a “major block” and suggested that The United States of America should have a “truth arbiter,” reported the New York Post. 

He said, “You know, there’s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you’re going to have some accountability on facts, etc. But look, if people only go to one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they’re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence. So what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern, by hopefully winning enough votes that you’re free to be able to implement change.”

"Kerry blamed social media as the main source for his anti-free speech view.". . .

John Kerry Laments That First Amendment Is ‘Major Block’ to Stifling Speech Video

In this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo discuss the importance of the First Amendment and how free speech is a right that cannot be taken away from Americans. They also discuss how Kerry’s comments are part of the Left’s continued efforts to suppress conservative media outlets, such as The American Spectator.

Kamala Harris urges ending Senate filibuster to pass abortion rights legislation

 Chris Benson UPI   


"Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Vice President Kamala Harris said this week she supports an "elimination" of the Senate's filibuster rule in order to push federal legislation to codify reproductive freedom.

" 'I think we should eliminate the filibuster for Roe, and get us to the point where 51 votes would be what we need to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom and for the ability of every person and every woman to make decisions about their own body," Harris, the Democrat's nominee for president, said Monday in a Wisconsin Public Radio interview that aired Tuesday, "and not have their government tell them what to do."

"The current make-up of the Senate is complicated with 47 Democrats, 49 Republicans and 4 Independents -- some former Democrats -- and Harris as a tiebreaker vote per constitutional order.

"But the progressive wing is not able to codify the medical procedure into law. The filibuster requires 60 votes for any such effort to pass. That means that at least 10 Republican senators would have to buck their party to favor abortion-rights legislation, which is a hurdle in its own." . . .

Violent crime has increased under Harris-Biden admin -- after ABC's David Muir disputed Trump's claim that crime is 'through the roof'

  DOJ report (nypost.com)  

"Friday afternoon, Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt called on Muir, the anchor of ABC’s “World News Tonight” to “issue an immediate public apology to President Trump for wrongly and rudely fact checking him on the debate stage.' ”

David Muir attempted to correct Trump about the number of crimes in the country.

"Violent crime has increased under the Harris-Biden administration, according to data from the Department of Justice published Friday — belying ABC News debate moderator David Muir’s correction of Donald Trump during his showdown with Kamala Harris Tuesday night.

"The DOJ’s survey from the Bureau of Justice statistics is self-reported instances of violent crime over the last six months — meaning that it includes crimes that may not have been reported to police.

"The annual National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) showed total instances of reported violent crime — including rape, robbery and aggravated assault — is up from 5.6 per 1,000 in 2020 to 8.7 per 1,000 in 2023.

"The highest recent rate of violent crime was in 2022, when the survey tracked 9.8 instances per 1,000 people over the age of 12.

"The rate of rape increased from 1.2 per 1,000 in 2020 to 1.7 in 2023, while robbery went from 1.6 per 1,000 in 2020 to 2.6 per 1,000 in 2023, and aggravated assault rose from 2.9 per 1,000 in 2020 to 4.5 per 1,000 in 2023." . . .

. . ."“This new data proves President Trump was right,” Leavitt added. “Violent crime is up and if Kamala is given another four years to implement her weak-on-crime, defund the police, no cash bail policies — America will continue to turn into a crime-ridden hellhole for illegal immigrants, Venezuelan gangsters, and drug dealers. ONLY President Trump will restore law and order. If Americans want to be safe, VOTE TRUMP.”

"ABC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post." . . .
