Action speaks louder than words and serving the people-all the people-works. Watch Youngkin in Virginia. He includes the Democrat office holders in everything he does. He delivers everyday just like Governor DeSantis. Why? He was elected to do so and follows his oath. Finally, he refuses to engage the toxic Trump trash.

Thanks for the information.

Claiming that Diebold voting machines turned millions of Trump votes into Biden votes in the 2020 election. Tweeting that we should revote the 2020 election - allowing the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) to credibly claim that he (and Republicans who support him) want to throw out the Constitution. Those are some examples. The voter quoted in the article is correct. We need Trump's policies without the Trump ego and baggage.

Do you know how voting computers work? They are Black Boxes; once your selection is scanned, you have absolutely no idea what takes place. None. They are just like Johnny Five; they just run programs. One particularly easy bit of code would be to weight votes: a vote for

Candidate A = (Candidate A * 0.875)

Candidate B = (Candidate A * 1.14285714286)

Why do those numbers matter? Well, you just gave Candidate A - for the sake of argument, let's say his name is Trump - 7/8 of his vote. You gave Candidate B - for the sake of argument, let's say his name is Asterisk - 8/7 of Candidate A's vote. This is called "weighting." THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO NOTE THAT THOSE NUMBERS MULTIPLY OUT TO ONE, so the vote tally will be accurate. 14,354 votes, 14,354 total in the machine. Trivial.

Whether one lands on Trump's side or Alleged President Asterisk's, until vote integrity is restored, no matter who wins there will be controversy, and since voting has taken place for a very long time, we already know how:

1) Eliminate all voting computers and go to paper ballots, with drop boxes only in polling places. Count the votes in front of witnesses, and nonstop after the polls close until a result is obtained.

2) Eliminate mail-in voting and outside "drop boxes" - absentee ballots allowed, but as before - only with a valid reason.

3) Require Voter ID - like, say when you cash a check, pick up medicines, drive a car, etc. - unless you think black people are too stupid to know how to have an ID card, which seems to be the meme among the "anti-ID" crowd.

It ain't rocket surgery, except the Crooked Party, which has perfected the art of cheating, doesn't want it, and the Stupid Party won't press the issue.

I listened to Jimmy Dore interview a guy that ran as an independent in Florida against a Democrat. He learned a lot about the voting machines and processes that he was not aware of. Of interest to me is the voting machines primarily used in the US are made by three companies. All three companies are heavily owned by private equity firms. All three companies claim intellectual property rights allow them to not disclose how the machines work. I believe the independent candidate suggested that there is zero oversight on what is actually occurring inside the machines. It's no more accountable than voting via Facebook would be.

I don't care which team someone is on, it should be alarming to know that we rely on unaudited voting machines running software we can't verify to determine the outcome of our elections. The potential abuse this offers goes well beyond left versus right.

"... not to disclose how the machines work."??? Machines that determine the outcome of elections, yet are black boxes? Really?

Make me president for one hour. Executive order # 1: You will publicly publish all code in all machines, or we will confiscate them and melt them down into scrap. You have 24 hours. Have a nice day.

Executive order # 2: Executive Order # 1 is rescinded. All voting machines will be confiscated and melted forthwith.

Then you deny due process to those whose votes have been manipulated. Let me suggest a different set of Ex. Orders:

1). Confiscate all voting machines immediately.

2). Publish the programs.

2a). If nothing irregular comes out, return the machines.

2b). If and when irregularities are shown, the principals are charged with election tampering, RICO, and every other book that can be thrown at them.

3). Release them all in red neighborhoods in which the police are on vacation. All at the same time. Provide free rope to those neighborhoods. And ladders.

4). Pardon everyone beforehand.

Actually, my algorithm is a little off. B = A * 0.125 for votes for Candidate A, giving B 1/8 of A's vote. The numbers would then be reversed for any Candidate B votes. That way each vote tallies to 1. An even easier way would be to tweak the running totals or the end totals. Been a while since my last programming. Apologies.

Trump constantly crosses the line from politically incorrect into pointlessly cruel. There's just no reason sometimes to insult people personally, and it's a big turn off to independent voters and traditional Republican voters. It was also embarrassing for him to lie nonstop about how he won the 2020 election when it's just not true.

Expand full comment

Not to mention it diminishes the effectiveness of his message and unnecessarily hurts himself. Telling or thinking your smarter than everyone else usually does not help your case unless your a dictator and can use fear to obtain approval. I like many of Trump's policies but not all and am disgusted by his unnecessary rude behavior. The worst example was his telling Debbie Dingle her dead husband might be "looking up" after she told him he might be "Looking down", and I would consider that condolence call toxic Trump trash.

The election was obviously stolen. You are either uninformed or an election-fraud-denier. Joshua Philipp of the Epoch Times prepared a very convincing analysis shortly after the election. That said, the America public refuses to accept that the election was stolen and prefers instead to believe the voters elected a corrupt and cognitively impaired liar and traitor.

The fact that he had very good policies and that the 2020 election was stolen is not a sufficient reason for Trump to be the R nominee in 2024. ItтАЩs too risky. DeSantis will pursue the same conservative policies and he is more electable.

Expand full comment

I think everyone, even Democrats, know that there were significant irregularities that were never explained adequately. The pandemic was the excuse to make more fraud possible. There was all manner of cheating. It was always: "no significant fraud", not "no fraud" in their statements. It is a lie most people are willing to go along with just to avoid the terrible aftershock that would come from admitting the truth. I like DeSantis, I would vote for him if he runs, and I will support his campaign.

Not stolen. Harvested. 70,000 votes in the swing districts are what won the election for Biden, and the vote harvesters were deployed in those districts for that very reason.

That's why the courts have dismissed every case; there's no evidence of fraud. Yet, it was the most unethical and unrepresentative election that I have seen in my 6 decades.

Expand full comment

Incorrect. The lawsuits were dismissed on technical issues - lack of "standing," including the Supreme (Allegedly) Court's refusal to hear the Texas lawsuit alleging 2020 election fraud in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin - completely flouting the Constitution's intent in creating the Supreme Court: settling disputes between states.

Expand full comment

In my heart of hearts, I do believe Trump voters were defrauded of a legitimate victory in 2020. Yet, at the same time, inadequate evidence was put forth in several challenges to compel trial. IтАЩm not saying the judges and Justices were right, only that the preponderance of burden of proof was placed on the plaintiffs and thus they had an impossible task.

Subsequent analysis by Dinesh De Souza, Molly Hemingway, and others has revealed a compelling argument for relitigating many of these cases and, possibly, overturning the results. Even some 20% or more of Democrats believe the election was fraudulent.

The wheels of justice turn very slowly in this country, and the people are ignorant and easily manipulated. Probably eventually we will have our revenge. Someone like DeSantis will assume power, the MAGA bloc will be the swing vote in the House and Senate, and those who subverted our democracy will be held to account.

ItтАЩs too late for Trump, in my opinion. The novelty effect of Trump the disrupter has worn off and people are tired of his big mouth and lack of filter. Even his own family seems to be distancing themselves from him. But heтАЩs changed the world forever, by exposing the scum for what they are. Tens of millions of Americans (as well as millions around the world) have had their eyes opened.

You can stop at your second sentence, which of course makes the rest of all four paragraphs moot. There was NOT inadequate evidence put forth in legal challenges. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY KIND ALLOWED TO BE PRESENTED. None. Zip. Nada. That's the whole point; the courts dismissed the cases without hearing evidence, and why do you think that was? Because they did not want any of the evidence preserved in the public record.

Was it all heinous? Probably not; likely the Supreme court was just gutless and thought there would be less trouble that way, but we've seen with Roe v. Wade what happens when SCOTUS rules wrong: it never goes away; it just has to be addressed later.

And as for revenge: nobody I know wants revenge. They want The Right Thing.

The bottom line is that it's very hard to prove election fraud. Once it's done, the ballots are locked away (or disposed of, or digitally erased). The tabulation rooms are cleaned up, the surveillance video deleted, the eyewitnesses paid off or nonexistent.

The newly elected person now uses the power of the office, along with their fellow Party members, to suppress any further investigations, and to target anyone who questions the results. Typically, they have the assistance of Google, Facebook, and the other Millennial-run technology companies in this.

The one big exception, of course, is Twitter. Elon Musk spent $40 billion of his own fortune, and lost a lot of his cred with the libs, to buy and expose this cesspool of misinformation. I only wish he could also buy Facebook and do the same, but that will have to wait until Tesla reaches $500 and he's a trillionaire :)

Expand full comment

It's not hard at all. You just examine the evidence. And then prosecute. Of course that only happens when the party in power has respect for the law and when there are real consequences for breaking it. When officials at the highest cabinet level can lie to Congress and then shrug their shoulders and say, "So what?" then there cannot be confidence in them, their office, their organization, or any election. This has to stop.

Have you read Joshua PhilipтАЩs analysis? There was massive election fraud. It would take years to prove such a case in Court. It. can't be done on a motion or application. I am a retired trial lawyer.

Ballot harvesting doesn't explain the illegal changes to election laws or the 81 million votes. Mail-in voting facilitated massive fraud and there was also machine fraud.

Expand full comment

The system and short time frame between election day and inauguration day make true validation impossible. Fundamentally new procedures are needed. Only citizens vote, only once, and all on the same day. Screaming democrats would get in the way of such a process, but with all votes coming in at once, we also need a system to count and re-count quickly. That would mean computers are involved and so far, we can't trust humans to program them properly or abstain from hacking them. My problem solving mind sees a technical solution, but politics and humanity would thwart that solution.

Thank you for correcting my typo.

I was going to amend my comment to add that the election laws were illegally changed in PA and GA. and deliberately contravened in WI. I would have to refresh my memory as to what happened in AZ and MI. Any suggestion that every mail-in vote was verified is a Jean-Pierre calibre lie.

Expand full comment

100% correct. Democrats used the pandemic as pretext to change the rules, often, In Wisconsin, for example, without legislative approval. It was simply done through the bureaucracy. The biggest problem in 2020 was that Republicans failed in almost every case to act decisively *before* the election, while standing election laws were being flagrantly ignored. Compounding that failure, Republicans refused to acknowledge the new rules, and in effect played right into Democrat strategy. Trump could have won without controversy. But until Republicans play the game by the same rules as Democrats they will always be at a disadvantage, in all respects. 2022 is proof that Republicans are still handcuffing themselves as if we're ever going back to Election *Day*.

For the most part the Courts used a circular logic strategy to discredit Trump campaign lawsuits: claiming a suit is frivolous by citing lack of proof to disallow Trump's team to review the evidence. County governments in the most contentious swing areas were never forced to share ballot envelopes to review completeness, and remember that orders to commissioners to separate ballots that were "cured" were ignored and no one has been held responsible. The entire focus of the media campaign post-election has been to say "there's no proof of fraud," but that's just gaslighting, per usual.

Recently over on the Bari Weiss Substack, a professor of Journalism lamented in an essay about how his students attitudes have so drastically changed in only the past few years. As Rush used to say, those "skulls full of mush" are now only interested in seeking truth that fits their incredibly biased and narrow world view. Mainstream journalism and social media are all in it together and all in the tank for Democrats. Given that, it's amazing that Republicans are not only still viable but at least even odds to win the Presidency in '24 if they put forth the right candidate.

re: "it's just not true." You need to do your homework. The only way to not know what happened in 2020 is to Want To Not Know - a much higher bar than, "not want to know." It takes willful ignorance to be innocent of the overwhelming evidence. If you DO decide to learn, bring a dump truck; you'll need it. Given my experience with the irrational TDS, though, I'm not holding my breath.

re: Trump trash. We are all well aware of The Orange Man's shortcomings, the worst of which is his reflex descent into personal attacks in response to personal attacks upon HIM. "Punching down," I think they call it.

Many forgave injury; none ever forgave contempt, and Trump's contempt is palpable. That does not make those who support his policies "trash," and such name-calling (also contempt, isn't it?) - is the very sort of thing that ensures the hatred continues.

That having been said, I will likely vote for DeSantis in the primary, should he run. His expected policies are only implied at this point; The Orange Man's are known and superb, but his personality defects make it just too much of an uphill pull for me.
