Predictably, Janet Yellen says since FTX collapsed, we MUST regulate crypto; thoughts about Hegelian dialectics; the unlikely billionaire; Bezos thinks recession likely; election news; and more.
Yet in Michigan, no gains were made in the Supreme Court and of course the governor, AG and SoS. Plus, our legislature shifted to Democrat led. So for the first time in 40 YEARS, in the middle of record inflation, after effects of shutdowns and Covid mandates, Afghanistan, illegal immigration, etc. the Dems control the government. How is that even remotely possible?
The devil seems to be running the world. Everyone sees it, feels it, etc; but, we’ve become docile and afraid. The election shenanigans are no longer the exception, but the rule and the honest Americans are feeling powerless to stop the “devils” machine - it’s been going on in the rest of the world forever.
We must trust in the Good Lord above, He is our only hope and our salvation
I trust in God. The GOP? Not so much. Do you realize that big pharma has MORE than 2 lobbyist for EVERY PERSON in Congress, showering them with cash for favorable legislative votes. This doesn't even cover all the other lobbyists from all the other big corporations and industries, like oil/gas. Even if the GOP ends up with any majority, I have little hope they'll use it to help "We the People". It's all theatre.
As a fellow CA resident in metro burbs ... I’m thinking there are more conservatives in CA than are recognized. Even here there is an undercurrent of thinking, non masse-formed people everywhere.
The voter scales have been weighted on the Dem side for so long that no one thinks to look closely into elections here.
Newsom also survived recall bc there were too many GOP and other candidates opposing him. Republicans are not lockstep like Dems, there is room for differing views. Unfortunately, including RINOs. Elected Dems will publicly support even the d***l if they were told to, or they are booted out.
We lived in California for a long time. We voted for Trump, and against Newsom in the recall. Didn’t make a bit of a difference, of course. This summer we finally got fed up with government banning (no gas stove, furnace or car, no grilling steak in your own back yard), homelessness and endless mandates. So we sold our house (just as the market crashed) and moved to a red state. The weather is worse, but we are left alone, everything is cheap, and no masks or vaxx mandates.
The Republican Party both here in California and nationally is a collection of grifters, not leaders. They don't want to work to make things better, they are just suckered fish on the big old American capitalism shark.
We have homeless EVERYWHERE. Yet the people in power use them as weapons against the electorate. Drugs everywhere, crime up, school kids locked out of class for over a year, yet the Republicans make no large gains. They aren't even trying.
I don’t know, maybe it’s partly their fault, but maybe it’s hopeless. People elected Fetterman after all, and a dead guy. I think that the democratic electorate is of such low quality that persuading them to vote for Republicans is impossible at this point whatever one attempts to do.
If there is hopelessness, then the Republicans should offer Hope. They don't, all doom and gloom from the GOP.
Of course, big problem out here is money. All the dot.com guys are beholden to the Deep State (not a conspiracy, shocker!) so the Repubs would have to grassroots everything. I don't think they have that wherewithal in them.
I like that you are not giving up. I hope people will fight back, but I don’t see how. We lived in the Bay Area, and everyone around us was either fully on board with the agenda, or, in some cases, foreign and not completely aware of political intricacies beyond a vague idea that voting for Republicans is not what good people do.
Exactly! California has a legislative supermajority and Dems have controlled it for 30 years uninterrupted...actually, almost for 50 years if you look at the overall picture. Republicans can't get a foothold. In the recent election the Dems swept all the top jobs. The elections in CA are so preordained as Democrat that most people don't vote or pay attention. Many barely know who the (dumb) governor is. They don't care. California is hopeless and many other states are attempting to emulate California's results. it's depressing.
Say what you will, but I believe the elections in CA are truly rigged. We're in SoCal, Orange County to be precise, and we know lots and lots of people that vote Red. We're so ready for a good change!!! And we haven't yet been persuaded to abandon ship... at least we don't feel God calling our family out of CA yet. So, yes working at LOCAL posts, even it it's only school board or school council. We need to stay and fight!!!
However I also believe the most followed conservatives’ giddiness over pre election polling turned into “we’re coming for [revered] Fauci and his family” messaging which should have been - “we will get to the bottom of this” and not project jail and impeachment in everyone who forced jabs.
Even I was slightly offended altho I knew that was not literal. It was a bridge too far and probably lost votes in the last 2 weeks.
Because the fix is in. There has been cheating in elections for years. However the country was in the middle now with extreme right and left and more people shifting right the elections are being manipulated and cheating is the norm. In florida where DeSantis went after harvesting florida shines a bright deep red. Should have happened in more states so either people outside of florida are still suffering from covid derangement so all the republicans left the north and moved to florida. Possible bc traffic is unbearable!! Anywhere and everywhere in florida.
Florida was the only state that instituted election reform laws. However, it is interesting to note that in Long Island, NY, where a lot of rich liberals live, the vote went completely red across the board. Like Florida's Dade County (Miami) and Leon County (the capital), these liberal strongholds went completely red. Why? Because there was no cheating in FL or LI (they took LI for granted as Dem) and the red wave was visible as a result. There is no doubt in my mind this red wave was national and was hidden by calculated cheating. When two of the most liberal strongholds go completely red, don't try to tell me that voters from across the political spectrum are not pissed off with the Bolsheviks and all voted red as a group. We need a do-over.
Think of it this way. In 2020, we saw the election stolen as described above. If there were enough legitimate votes across the spectrum to elect Trump in 2020 then how many MORE were there voting red in 2022 as a result of all the ridiculous tomfoolery of the last two years. Does anyone really believe that 2 years of Biden's disastrous administration didn't convince even more voters to vote red, especially in a mid-term election? Everyone knows the answer to that including the Dem voters. After 2 years, everyone was pissed (except for the baseline of Dem-idiots who will vote dem no matter what). This is why we saw the Dem strongholds in Florida and Long Island go completely red. All this talk about Trump being offensive and causing the red wave to not happen is BS. This is a RINO false narrative. The red wave did happen, thanks to a lot of Democrats who had enough and joined the wave. The Democratic black box cheating made it appear the red wave didn't happen. All you got to do is look beneath the surface. For example, when have you ever seen voters vote for a Rep governor and then split their vote for a Dem senator? Doesn't happen. Yet this is what we are suppose to believe in this election where even when the Rep won the Gov race, the Senate race went to the Dem, and not just by a little either. People don't split their votes like that. Biden HAD to keep control of the Senate in order to keep control of the impeachment process. He knows we are coming for him and if he had lost the Senate, he knows he would be convicted in an impeachment. And the counts of the ballot dumps in these races shows the work of the black box cheating that was going on.
Interesting and depressing. I don't have confidence that enough Republicans (and others too) will ever rise up en masse to demand that such things be investigated and brought to light. There would have to be an enormous uprising of rage over all the election fraud.
Why is it that the Right only realizes weve been HAD after the crime has been committed. We need to realize that the Democratic machine is a well-funded, well-oiled criminal organization who have ONLY dirty tricks in their baskets — because they cannot win any other way. They will stop at nothing to win!
We need to learn to be several steps ahead of them and be proactive (in my humble opinion)
The problem is the Rep Party is controlled by the RINOs. They are uniparty fellow travelers with the Bolsheviks and their only interest is in maintaining the status quo where they are in control of the party. They are threatened by Trump and the populist movement in the party.
We DID realize it after the 2020 election but hardly any election law changes got made in the meantime. Florida shines. I'm sad that Texas no longer represents what a RED conservative state looks like. Abbott won over Beto (thank goodness) but Abbott wasn't the best pick in the primary, by far. He talks alot but that's it. I blame Trump for endorsing Abbott, rather than West or Huffines, both of whom spoke about stopping the illegal border invasion and eliminating property taxes. Abbott's a puppet who thinks he has a chance at being President.🤣
We need more Republican Governors in these states but the Dems are better at cheating and have their pawns in place. Look at AZ the person in charge of election integrity ran for governor and didn’t refuse herself of the duty to certify her own race. 🙄only in a liberals mind is this ok.
happens on both sides Diana. In GA Kemp was overseeing the counting when he was running for governor too. He won with a small margin from Abrams (we guess he cheated, but are now glad he did. maybe the powers that be knew Abrams would be disastrous)
and with stuff like that is going in AZ where one candidate oversees the counting. This happened in GA with Kemp so I think Abrams might be right that it was stolen from her the former time, but GA was so lucky she was not the gov because she would have caused a disaster. She gave up on gov position thank God.
Stacy Abrams will be back, just like Beto. Running for office has become a cottage industry for them. Abrams was broke....look how much $$$ she has now. It wasn't from sales of her steamy novel, either.
yes I read an article about that, too. I also read some of beto's posts, sounded like a person on the brink of depression. Office has become an income gathering. It is high time someone looks at the faucets of money and stops the spill. But who is going to do that? Courts? Is there anything not corrupt in this world?
The fix very well may be in, and lots of shenanigans going on (ballot harvesting, week long counting, etc.) don't pass the sniff test. That being said, this election should not have been close yet it was. Our side needs to face some hard truths:
1) Lots of people (probably the majority) actually like what happened over the past two years. They like lockdowns, masking, and vax mandates. These are cowardly, timid people who will happily give up freedom if it means they feel a little safer, even if the safety is an illusion. This is a huge problem that is getting worse not better, if it doesn't turn around soon the country is doomed.
2) Despite the popularity of Trump's policies, many (maybe most) people don't like Trump personally. They see him as an arrogant buffoon who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. We all know this type of person in our lives, obnoxious, overly opiniated, boorish, and crude. Most of us avoid these types of people as they are unpleasant to deal with. Rightly or wrongly, Trump is seen the same way (and the way he went after DeSantis and Youngkin completely unprovoked last week is making me see their point).
Unless our side deals with these two problems, we will permanently be in the minority. Complaining about stolen elections (even if they actually were stolen!) just makes it worse as it makes us look like crybaby sore losers.
I would agree with the first opinion, judging from what I am seeing here in Michigan. About Trump, the media has made Trump the man many perceive him to be. Because of his “out there” personality he derived a loyal following starting out campaigning. I saw him at a rally in 2020 and he was none of those things. He gave us hope when there didn’t seem to be much. His rallies were something I will never forget. And anyone who can run successful companies and still get the blue collar workers, the elite disdain says more about him then what the media spouts. However, I do not understand his haste to run for president, but I do agree with Counselor Childers that he should if he wants.
Agree 100%, however perception is reality unfortunately, rightly or wrongly.
Honestly, what was your opinion of Trump before 2015 when he announced his run based on his media behavior and image? Was it a prudent, sober thinker with deeply held principles? Or was it a buffoonish World Wresting Federation-type cartoon character always hawking something? I'm willing to bet it was the latter.
However, since then Trump won us over with his commitment to conservative principles and obvious love for the country. Most people don't follow politics they way we do though, and they still see Trump as the buffoon. He's made no real effort to reach these people and makes it worse by shooting off his mouth without thinking. I get it as it's always worked for him in the past, but when you need 51% (including lots of political illiterates) sometimes a behavior change is warranted. He needs to really consider this as now he's even driving away supporters (such as myself) with his ill-timed antics.
I wanted to see Ben Carson win the nomination. He was already out when the Michigan primary rolled around. So I voted for Ted Cruze. My nephew, mid 40’s and a cop was all in for DJT. Then my sister in CO stood in line for hours twice to see him in rally’s there. She was all in. I still wasn’t convinced, but Carson supported him after he left the race, and he gave a list of SCjustices he would nominate and I liked that. I was not going to vote for Hilary. And I would not go 3rd party as did that with Ross Perot and gave the race to Clinton. I was not on the DJT bandwagon but when I went to our rural twp hall to vote, the place was packed, many blue collar friends with MAGA hats on. I have never felt so exhilarated after voting and I have voted in every election since I was 18. I didn’t expect him to win, but I felt good about voting for him.
I was anti-Trump in 2016. I could've (held my nose) and voted for 16 of the 17 GOP candidates who ran, but not Trump. (I ended up taking a part in the Gary Johnson campaign after Trump was nominated.)
In 2020, however, I was all in. Despite his boorish, crude narcissism, I heavily supported Trump. We went to his rally in Tulsa, and after the steal, I went to a Stop the Steal rally (which ended up being just another GOP steal itself.)
But enough is enough. Trump is not at all a hero - he's in bed with Big Pharma. He's in bed with whomever goes to Mar a Lago to kiss his ring - no matter how transparently dishonest and establishment they are. (Kevin McCarthy, I'm looking at you.)
I get that the politically naive see his rough demeanor and wrongly think he's an outsider. He isn't. He's just a conman playing the part of "Spoiler" to convince the average voter to vote one more time. Just because he's despised by all the wrong people, doesn't make him right.
Right up until he started slamming DeSantis and Youngkin, I honestly would have voted for him if he were the nominee. Not anymore. Even if it were Biden/Harris vs. Trump, I'll sit it out.
Why all this Trump bashing? He's the best President in my lifetime. He said what he would do and then he did it, through great adversity. I judge him on his accomplishments, not his personality. I like his personality anyway.i dont see him as you do. He's the only person I can listen to for hour and not get bored.
And he wasn't downing DeSantis when he said De-sanctimonious . It means NOT Sanctimonious! But you just let the MSM tell you what it means.
He was playing with the press and I'm sure there is no animosity between Trump and DeSantis.
You don't understand what Trump is doing with the press. The minute he's not pulling their chain, they'll be all over him.
Uh...no. The race was only "close" because the black box cheating is designed to keep the Dem vote count just a little above the Rep count. Furthermore, they can't exceed the total registered voter roll as that would obviously reveal the steal. It's got nothing to do with your two points. Sure, the dem-idiots who depend on gov't freebies will always vote dem no matter what. But the last 2 years of OBiden BS gov't has done nothing but turn many many Democrats red in the ballot box as demonstrated in FL and Long Island. This was a national movement that could only be covered up by the black box cheating.
Secondly, characterizing Trump as a crude, obnoxious buffoon is the standard RINO narrative they promote to break up the populist movement in the party that threatens their power. To the contrary, Trump is very popular and the exaggerated caricature of him is an MSM and RINO narrative. Blaming the Republican Party's ineffectiveness on Trump is a deflection. The Rep Party's ineffectiveness is an intentional policy of the RINOs who only want to protect their power as fellow travelers with the Bolsheviks. They are traitors to America. Full stop .
"...Complaining about stolen elections (even if they actually were stolen!) just makes it worse as it makes us look like crybaby sore losers..."
Really?? I just have to add this. This is a typical Bolshevik tactic to intimidate the opposition to sit down and shut up. BS! This is allowing the opposition to set the terms of the debate and this has to stop. You think I'm going to shut up because someone calls me "crybaby"? Hell no. We are not the losers. The Democrats are the losers because they HAVE to resort to stealing votes just to get elected. I'm going to stand up and shout to everyone that the Democrat Bolsheviks are thieves, liars and evil communists. This is what we have to do to win. WE have to set the terms of the debate, call out the enemy for their evil and make them defend their position! We have to stand for what is right. Don't tell me to shut up.
Then you never saw beyond what the media wanted. You did not see him go down to help Louisiana residents who were flooded by torrential rains. This was before he was ever elected. He got truck loads of supplies to be sent down to the poorest sections that were most affected. He passed out water and meals. Sure it was a photo op but the media mostly ignored it. He went to Afghanistan very quietly Christmas Eve to visit the troops. The actual soldiers loved him. Who quietly helped lay wreaths on the graves at Arlington. He gave Jennifer Hudson a place to live, all without fanfare. He tried to fulfill every promise he made as president. Ask yourself why a man who funded much of his own campaign, who did not take a presidential salary but donated it every quarter. He didn’t have to do any of these things, but he did. These are not the actions of a buffoonish narcissist.
I am exhausted after this election, I am in no mood to start speculating on what DJT or DeSantis may do.
You are right in that things are a disaster, like I said the election should not have been close but it was aside from a few exceptions.
Either elections across the entire country were hacked (very unlikely and zero evidence) or people like this (my point #1) or think the alternative will be worse (my point #2). There is no other explanation.
And in line with the mess I just heard Russian rockets crossed over into Poland killing two. I don’t see how this is a winning narrative and the swing states are riddled with election issues. There are 13 reps in the house need to come up all democrat for the republicans to lose the house. I bet the 13 are flip democrat. I’m going on Biden smugness on as votes come in democrats will come up victorious and the president secretary reinforcing this narrative bc it’s ok to take one month to count ballots.
Wow, been reading this thread. All I can say is there sure does seem to be a lot RINO narrative being pushed here. As Rep we are doing exactly what the Bolsheviks want: tearing each other down. Which is funny cuz you don't see the Don and Ron doing that, now do you?
As someone who fled Michigan last year, the paradigm shift was obvious at the peak of COVID-mania. I knew Michigan was doomed when Gretchen relaxed the obedience mask requirement in 2021 and yet over fifty percent of patrons at the local Costco, Kroger, and Whole Foods still insisted on wearing them. Fearing that schools would insist on masks in Fall 2021 and possibly even vaccination, we made our move south.
Michigan's core economy is the medico-industrial complex. Creating and treating sick people is Michigan's comparative advantage, not building cars.
It's particularly evident in the tri-county area where the vast majority of economic development is led by mega-hospital systems. Sixty years ago it was 'The Big Three' and the various industries that supported them as suppliers. Now that the Michigan auto industry is effectively dead, the medico-industrial complex has replaced them. Thus, the fealty to masks, vaccines, DEI, gender affirming care, and abortions.
BCBSM was one of the most aggressive businesses in Michigan to push COVID vaccines and gleefully fired several hundred non-compliant employees. The people who work for these companies and the medico-industrial complex tend to be card-carrying progressives who are current with their boosters and loyal to the narrative.
BCBSM and the medico-industrial complex are probably the state's biggest paid advertisers, Thus, Michigan's media is wholly in their pocket. What "they" want is what "they" will get.
Parenthetically, Gretchen's future post-governor is not in politics. Gretchen will undoubtedly follow in Dan Loepp's footsteps as the $30M a year CEO of BCBSM.
Thanks, I am from just north of Detroit, 14 and Gratiot area. I left in 1982 really, for Ann Arbor, but more fully in 92 when i came out to Oregon. It's nice for me to hear someone from MI speak in a way that chimes with me, I was raised with folks who did not have so wide and realistic a view of goings on wrt the insurance industry there. (Industry says it all, like the the medical industry we also are suffering from now, so many cogs). Members of my extended family worked at BCBSM and in hospital financial management. I was just a kid, but what they were engrossed in certainly had nothing to do with health, (even the jobs seemed unhealthy, for the stress). We've literally inflated things, made them bigger, more cumbersome, more fragile, with this industrial view. Both sides of the scales are out of balance (hey thats a balance just not one we want), companies too big, nanobits too small. The money master controls its slave. But I digress....thanks ejsmith
I had never considered this being north of that area in the rust belt area of the tri cities. We have Dow here in next door Midland, a conservative bastion for decades, now pretty blue, along with the cities of Saginaw and Bay City. Saginaw, has a large hospital complex, as does Midland and a lesser one in Bay City.
I hear you about voting fraud and it definitely happens but what makes me mad is that the red wave should've been so far out that cheating at that level would be impossible. I didn't want close wins, in the current situation, I wanted undeniable wins everywhere like DeSantis got. There should've been few close races. Really, what the heck is it going to take for people to wake up, bread lines, war on our land? Just saw O'Reilly's daily take is 2 very difficult years coming. IDK, you think people will be ready then?
I thought Trudeaus lawyer dropping would do it, but gone from view...i do wonder how he is doing, not sure if stroke or fainted. Will folks even notice. They are broken in ways, it's getting more than painfully obvious and hard to watch, oh that psyop is a gift that keeps on giving for us trying to observe it...best Ingrid C Durden
Quite honestly it is so big - so much corruption and cheating - far and wide. Corporations, donations, possibly even other country involvement I don’t believe it would have ever turned red. The only difference is how Desantis changed the laws for voting and cheating. I have little hope we will EVER get out of BLUE.
Note that the computers control it, there is no wave too big to cheat. The computers can literally manufacture or switch votes at will. Or rather, on command.
I don't think we know how many cheat votes can be used. Perhaps even a substantial difference in votes can still be fiddled with, we just don't know. And no one will find out.
Exactly. And I keep wondering why Republicans never figure out what the crucial states are and work hard to counter what will happen in those states. They don't recruit and support strong candidates.
Listened to Ron Armstrong from SUM. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He says we need to fight like the Dems and start yesterday for the 2024 elections. It’s a great thought but Conservatives by nature don’t fight like the behind the scenes cabal that the Dem party is a front for.
The stage was set for Michigan for decades. It was a well known secret among the political world that the MiGOP was corrupt, a fact I was rudely introduced to in our fight against lockdowns in 2020. After the 2016 election, white women went nuts, egged on I am sure. Pink pussy hats and women going to DC to demonstrate against Trump’s inauguration. The media couldn’t get enough of it. I know because Liberal women I knew were all over social media. Shortly thereafter, there was a petition drive to get a new redistricting law on the ballot using a bipartisan committee to do the census redistricting. One of my friends was adamant about it, and I believe she really thought that was why Trump won Michigan. I looked into the group funding the petition drive and it had leftist ties that weren’t hard to find. It made the 2018 ballot. Along with it were a legalized marijuana initiative proposal and a same day voter registration proposal that went completely unreported. The Liberals turned out massive voter turnouts on the big college campuses across this state. The marijuana industry contributed heavily to getting this proposal passed and to Whitmer, Nessel, and Benson’s campaigns. All 3 proposals passed and all 3 were elected. Was there corruption in the election? Who knows but it was really convenient when the pandemic dropped and we were locked down. Marijuana stores and PP stayed open though. Because women’s rights to safe health care was essential according to Gov Whitmer.
The pandemic was dropped to screw the election with mail in ballots in places such as Michigan where 7 million applications for absentee ballots were mailed out in June. Because everything was locked down including all gov’t offices, computer signature verification was employed. SOS Benson was charged with failure to correctly perform her duties but it went nowhere. On election night Michigan shut down counting ballots. They boarded up windows and threatened poll challengers. Election computers were connected to outside sources, this was proven. Ballot drops were shown via camera footage. Many of us went to bed with Trump comfortably ahead and woke up to his lead almost gone. No one could believe it. When the Michigan election was called for Biden no one could believe it. A U.S. senate race went to the Democrat incumbent who campaigned not at all. The Michigan SC flipped to Liberal, something that would be telling in the months to come. But the down ballot races remained typical for most areas of Michigan. Despite piles of affidavits and video footage the AG refused to do an investigation of election corruption. The Michigan Legislature assigned a committee to investigate who ruled, “nothing wrong” here and certified the election. Come up to 2022. Michigan, because of Whitmer received unbelievable amounts of covid monies, which mostly disappeared. Roe v Wade was overturned in June and promptly appeared a Constitutional ballot initiative that not only was abortion up to birth but parental rights given up in their children’s health care. A voter initiative also showed up and miraculously made it to the ballot, as did an extension of Legislator’s tenure. The bipartisan committee redistricted the state and made some obviously odd redrawn lines, ultimately putting larger cities in all favored Democrats. Many of these were surrounded by rural areas, but the idea is always to turn urban areas and surrounding suburbs into Dem strongholds. The MiGOP, along with money from Betsy DeVos got Tudor Dixon on the primary ballot for governor, then promptly got all kinds of crossover voting. She was 20 percentage points ahead of the next two very popular contenders. Almost as soon as she secured the GOP nomination, the RNC quit fundraising for her. She was likable and in two debates wiped the floor with Whitmer, but few saw the debates. She received a bus two weeks prior to the election which she gamely traveled all over the state. Meanwhile, Whitmer pounded the abortion issue in wall to wall television ads. Dixon had virtually none. The RNC and Michigan GOP deserted virtually every grass roots candidate in place at the state and National levels. The Michigan Legislature was flipped to Liberal. None of it unexpected if you followed what was going on. Add in the redistricting and you have the mess Michigan is in. Long, I know but an explanation which might be what did not surprise here.
Florida is an anomaly and I’m not sure it isn’t being set up for something. There were different tactics employed by different states as far as I can tell. It was a telling point that Florida seems to be the only state to clean up election laws. It was something Kari Lake promised to do in AZ. They were not going to let her win. If it had been a Republican SOS, running for governor, running her own election so to speak, the Dems would be screaming bloody murder. But nary a peep in the case of AZ. It seems we quite often compare if it was a Republican doing the corruption how it would be called out, but it never happens.
Great comment, Laurie. As always, I thank you for the time. I think that you nailed the MI GOP's complicity in an incestuous relationship quite well. All told, it doesn't bode well for Michigan or this country with a GOP that is gutless and possibly knee-deep in it.
Sigh. Very insightful detail, thanks for laying it all out. The Republicans are so supine I've had to wonder if they are ALL (i.e. all parties) in on the scam, playing out their different roles in this criminal enterprise we call our government. Depressing to read all the increasingly sordid detail.
Prion disease from the jabs, and or the inability to think new thoughts, as many jabbed are not physically ok anymore. Dying people cannot think new thoughts, in general, lack of energy.
All of you (even those of us in Florida) should read this and plan for how to implement it, as a way to counter the Dem tactic focused on ballots. In warfare, a new weapon only works until the opponent figures out its vulnerabilities and exploits them. Get to work in your locality:
How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System
"The Wisconsin team proved, in this election, that adding even a small amount of friction – removing thousands of phantom names and identifying several hundred thousand incorrect addresses — has a massive impact on the ballot-gathering system.
"Our Wisconsin election heroes applied Fractal Programming technology, funded by Mike Lindell, at scale to find and challenge phantoms. The process is explained at www.Omega4America.com."
What's even worse is being in a state that has been SOLIDLY red for 60 years (Oklahoma) and watching the progressives take over the cities (Tulsa, OKC, Norman). We had a very "Red Wave-ish" election (Gov., US Senate, US Reps all in GOP hands), but that 's not the story in Tulsa or OKC, where the progressives made in-roads to our DA and State House.
It's super depressing to see the writing on the wall and look forward to a Blue Oklahoma at some point in the near future.
By running photogenic soccer moms who avoid all issues at all costs.
They know they can't openly advocate for abortion in pro-life Oklahoma, so they run stealth campaigns to appeal to an electorate that oh-so-desperately want to be seen as hip and progressive.
Buy local and/or buy small too whenever and as often as you can ..... even just doing it a few more times than you do now .... it all adds up and helps move money from the big guys and gals to the smaller operations. I really think even a small shift of money to local and/or smaller operations may bring surprising power back to the people and to the big guys and gals so that they can tell the federal government and the World Economic Forum to bug off because it is hurting their bottom line. *** Update added .... I forgot about the cash issue ... love the comment on using cash more often ... doesn't have to be a big change .... little changes by even a small percentage of people really add up (just ask any PTA/PTO leader :) ) ..... every time I use cash, I love that it is more money that stayed with the local and/or small business and less money for the big credit card processers who seem to have such a big influence on our federal government. Definitely worth the extra effort to go to the bank to get cash I think. Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
As an aside, I ordered a Ron DeSantis coffee mug. To my delight, it was made by HF Coors in the USA. I just happened to notice because I have a set of HF Coors dishes that I love - free of lead, etc. Thought that was very cool of his campaign. They could have made lots more money going with cheap Chinese-made mugs.
Yes, no more Chinese schwag, not easy to avoid. Read a really good book on one familys journey to deChineseify their household, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-Without-Made-China-Adventure/dp/0470379200 its probs at your local library, or local bookseller, good read, even humorous, but goes into the nitty gritty of having kids, birthday parties, all without Chinese goods.
Yet in Michigan, no gains were made in the Supreme Court and of course the governor, AG and SoS. Plus, our legislature shifted to Democrat led. So for the first time in 40 YEARS, in the middle of record inflation, after effects of shutdowns and Covid mandates, Afghanistan, illegal immigration, etc. the Dems control the government. How is that even remotely possible?
Welcome to Californian politics. We have been Dem run for some time. Evil incarnate. The gov does what the devil wants.
The devil seems to be running the world. Everyone sees it, feels it, etc; but, we’ve become docile and afraid. The election shenanigans are no longer the exception, but the rule and the honest Americans are feeling powerless to stop the “devils” machine - it’s been going on in the rest of the world forever.
We must trust in the Good Lord above, He is our only hope and our salvation
Trust the Good Lord above, and our heroic GOP.
Those guys will save us for sure.
I trust in God. The GOP? Not so much. Do you realize that big pharma has MORE than 2 lobbyist for EVERY PERSON in Congress, showering them with cash for favorable legislative votes. This doesn't even cover all the other lobbyists from all the other big corporations and industries, like oil/gas. Even if the GOP ends up with any majority, I have little hope they'll use it to help "We the People". It's all theatre.
True but He does need you to join in the war, there is a role for every child of God.
I did this to make people laugh I hope. The the devil and his minions do not like laughter as it drives away fear like in Monsters Inc.

The devil-crats
They are not running anything. They are parasites preventing the world from running
True. The devil has been a pain in the back side since the Garden of Eden, and I do mean that literally as much as anything else.
Yes! I believe this!
As a fellow CA resident in metro burbs ... I’m thinking there are more conservatives in CA than are recognized. Even here there is an undercurrent of thinking, non masse-formed people everywhere.
The voter scales have been weighted on the Dem side for so long that no one thinks to look closely into elections here.
Newsom also survived recall bc there were too many GOP and other candidates opposing him. Republicans are not lockstep like Dems, there is room for differing views. Unfortunately, including RINOs. Elected Dems will publicly support even the d***l if they were told to, or they are booted out.
We lived in California for a long time. We voted for Trump, and against Newsom in the recall. Didn’t make a bit of a difference, of course. This summer we finally got fed up with government banning (no gas stove, furnace or car, no grilling steak in your own back yard), homelessness and endless mandates. So we sold our house (just as the market crashed) and moved to a red state. The weather is worse, but we are left alone, everything is cheap, and no masks or vaxx mandates.
The Republican Party both here in California and nationally is a collection of grifters, not leaders. They don't want to work to make things better, they are just suckered fish on the big old American capitalism shark.
We have homeless EVERYWHERE. Yet the people in power use them as weapons against the electorate. Drugs everywhere, crime up, school kids locked out of class for over a year, yet the Republicans make no large gains. They aren't even trying.
I don’t know, maybe it’s partly their fault, but maybe it’s hopeless. People elected Fetterman after all, and a dead guy. I think that the democratic electorate is of such low quality that persuading them to vote for Republicans is impossible at this point whatever one attempts to do.
I don't for one second believe Fetterman was "elected".... maybethe same people that "elected" Obiden???
I gather he was at Albright College...........................................
Sorry about that, I couldn't stop laughing.
If there is hopelessness, then the Republicans should offer Hope. They don't, all doom and gloom from the GOP.
Of course, big problem out here is money. All the dot.com guys are beholden to the Deep State (not a conspiracy, shocker!) so the Repubs would have to grassroots everything. I don't think they have that wherewithal in them.
I like that you are not giving up. I hope people will fight back, but I don’t see how. We lived in the Bay Area, and everyone around us was either fully on board with the agenda, or, in some cases, foreign and not completely aware of political intricacies beyond a vague idea that voting for Republicans is not what good people do.
I think that Fetterman was what one might call a 'Fetter-accompli' (sic). Democrats go round saying'Bring out your, dead, bring out your dead.'
To vote i mean, it's amazing what the Democrats can do nowadays.
We still live in Ca. Vote red. Know many people who do…. hang in there. What area are you?
Northern CA
Perhaps this may be of use. Best regards from UK.

Exactly! California has a legislative supermajority and Dems have controlled it for 30 years uninterrupted...actually, almost for 50 years if you look at the overall picture. Republicans can't get a foothold. In the recent election the Dems swept all the top jobs. The elections in CA are so preordained as Democrat that most people don't vote or pay attention. Many barely know who the (dumb) governor is. They don't care. California is hopeless and many other states are attempting to emulate California's results. it's depressing.
Say what you will, but I believe the elections in CA are truly rigged. We're in SoCal, Orange County to be precise, and we know lots and lots of people that vote Red. We're so ready for a good change!!! And we haven't yet been persuaded to abandon ship... at least we don't feel God calling our family out of CA yet. So, yes working at LOCAL posts, even it it's only school board or school council. We need to stay and fight!!!
What should have been a Red Tsunami, was adverted I believe, bc the Demons were doubly-prepared to cheat, cheat, cheat...and then cheat some more!
Agree.
However I also believe the most followed conservatives’ giddiness over pre election polling turned into “we’re coming for [revered] Fauci and his family” messaging which should have been - “we will get to the bottom of this” and not project jail and impeachment in everyone who forced jabs.
Even I was slightly offended altho I knew that was not literal. It was a bridge too far and probably lost votes in the last 2 weeks.
The trouble is when one cheat's that one ch-eats too much and becomes Obese, the future tense of Obama gather.
Obesity one of the cause of Covid 19, a.k.a the 'flu. If one makes and obese person laugh will they die laughing and problem solved?
Anyway perhaps you would like this.

Because the fix is in. There has been cheating in elections for years. However the country was in the middle now with extreme right and left and more people shifting right the elections are being manipulated and cheating is the norm. In florida where DeSantis went after harvesting florida shines a bright deep red. Should have happened in more states so either people outside of florida are still suffering from covid derangement so all the republicans left the north and moved to florida. Possible bc traffic is unbearable!! Anywhere and everywhere in florida.
Florida was the only state that instituted election reform laws. However, it is interesting to note that in Long Island, NY, where a lot of rich liberals live, the vote went completely red across the board. Like Florida's Dade County (Miami) and Leon County (the capital), these liberal strongholds went completely red. Why? Because there was no cheating in FL or LI (they took LI for granted as Dem) and the red wave was visible as a result. There is no doubt in my mind this red wave was national and was hidden by calculated cheating. When two of the most liberal strongholds go completely red, don't try to tell me that voters from across the political spectrum are not pissed off with the Bolsheviks and all voted red as a group. We need a do-over.
How they did it....
https://crossroadsreport.substack.com/p/the-secret-to-how-dems-steal-elections
Think of it this way. In 2020, we saw the election stolen as described above. If there were enough legitimate votes across the spectrum to elect Trump in 2020 then how many MORE were there voting red in 2022 as a result of all the ridiculous tomfoolery of the last two years. Does anyone really believe that 2 years of Biden's disastrous administration didn't convince even more voters to vote red, especially in a mid-term election? Everyone knows the answer to that including the Dem voters. After 2 years, everyone was pissed (except for the baseline of Dem-idiots who will vote dem no matter what). This is why we saw the Dem strongholds in Florida and Long Island go completely red. All this talk about Trump being offensive and causing the red wave to not happen is BS. This is a RINO false narrative. The red wave did happen, thanks to a lot of Democrats who had enough and joined the wave. The Democratic black box cheating made it appear the red wave didn't happen. All you got to do is look beneath the surface. For example, when have you ever seen voters vote for a Rep governor and then split their vote for a Dem senator? Doesn't happen. Yet this is what we are suppose to believe in this election where even when the Rep won the Gov race, the Senate race went to the Dem, and not just by a little either. People don't split their votes like that. Biden HAD to keep control of the Senate in order to keep control of the impeachment process. He knows we are coming for him and if he had lost the Senate, he knows he would be convicted in an impeachment. And the counts of the ballot dumps in these races shows the work of the black box cheating that was going on.
Thank you for posting this. Everyone should read it.
Interesting and depressing. I don't have confidence that enough Republicans (and others too) will ever rise up en masse to demand that such things be investigated and brought to light. There would have to be an enormous uprising of rage over all the election fraud.
Let's see what Kari Lake in Arizona and Nevada are able to accomplish if they take this to court.
Why is it that the Right only realizes weve been HAD after the crime has been committed. We need to realize that the Democratic machine is a well-funded, well-oiled criminal organization who have ONLY dirty tricks in their baskets — because they cannot win any other way. They will stop at nothing to win!
We need to learn to be several steps ahead of them and be proactive (in my humble opinion)
The problem is the Rep Party is controlled by the RINOs. They are uniparty fellow travelers with the Bolsheviks and their only interest is in maintaining the status quo where they are in control of the party. They are threatened by Trump and the populist movement in the party.
We DID realize it after the 2020 election but hardly any election law changes got made in the meantime. Florida shines. I'm sad that Texas no longer represents what a RED conservative state looks like. Abbott won over Beto (thank goodness) but Abbott wasn't the best pick in the primary, by far. He talks alot but that's it. I blame Trump for endorsing Abbott, rather than West or Huffines, both of whom spoke about stopping the illegal border invasion and eliminating property taxes. Abbott's a puppet who thinks he has a chance at being President.🤣
We need more Republican Governors in these states but the Dems are better at cheating and have their pawns in place. Look at AZ the person in charge of election integrity ran for governor and didn’t refuse herself of the duty to certify her own race. 🙄only in a liberals mind is this ok.
happens on both sides Diana. In GA Kemp was overseeing the counting when he was running for governor too. He won with a small margin from Abrams (we guess he cheated, but are now glad he did. maybe the powers that be knew Abrams would be disastrous)
Point is, this needs to be fixed. That's an obvious conflict of interest.
and with stuff like that is going in AZ where one candidate oversees the counting. This happened in GA with Kemp so I think Abrams might be right that it was stolen from her the former time, but GA was so lucky she was not the gov because she would have caused a disaster. She gave up on gov position thank God.
Stacy Abrams will be back, just like Beto. Running for office has become a cottage industry for them. Abrams was broke....look how much $$$ she has now. It wasn't from sales of her steamy novel, either.
yes I read an article about that, too. I also read some of beto's posts, sounded like a person on the brink of depression. Office has become an income gathering. It is high time someone looks at the faucets of money and stops the spill. But who is going to do that? Courts? Is there anything not corrupt in this world?
Isn't Abrams going to work for Biden now? I thought I heard that.
somone mentioned that in a comment, but I have not found any evidence of it. If so would someone please post a link? thank you already
OMG
That cow pursued it through the courts. She got her day.
Republicans haven't had their day in court.
that is an insult to cows
Abrams would have been to Georgia what Gillum would have been to Florida. Dumpster fire.
The fix very well may be in, and lots of shenanigans going on (ballot harvesting, week long counting, etc.) don't pass the sniff test. That being said, this election should not have been close yet it was. Our side needs to face some hard truths:
1) Lots of people (probably the majority) actually like what happened over the past two years. They like lockdowns, masking, and vax mandates. These are cowardly, timid people who will happily give up freedom if it means they feel a little safer, even if the safety is an illusion. This is a huge problem that is getting worse not better, if it doesn't turn around soon the country is doomed.
2) Despite the popularity of Trump's policies, many (maybe most) people don't like Trump personally. They see him as an arrogant buffoon who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. We all know this type of person in our lives, obnoxious, overly opiniated, boorish, and crude. Most of us avoid these types of people as they are unpleasant to deal with. Rightly or wrongly, Trump is seen the same way (and the way he went after DeSantis and Youngkin completely unprovoked last week is making me see their point).
Unless our side deals with these two problems, we will permanently be in the minority. Complaining about stolen elections (even if they actually were stolen!) just makes it worse as it makes us look like crybaby sore losers.
I would agree with the first opinion, judging from what I am seeing here in Michigan. About Trump, the media has made Trump the man many perceive him to be. Because of his “out there” personality he derived a loyal following starting out campaigning. I saw him at a rally in 2020 and he was none of those things. He gave us hope when there didn’t seem to be much. His rallies were something I will never forget. And anyone who can run successful companies and still get the blue collar workers, the elite disdain says more about him then what the media spouts. However, I do not understand his haste to run for president, but I do agree with Counselor Childers that he should if he wants.
Trump still pushes the vax. Enough said
Agree 100%, however perception is reality unfortunately, rightly or wrongly.
Honestly, what was your opinion of Trump before 2015 when he announced his run based on his media behavior and image? Was it a prudent, sober thinker with deeply held principles? Or was it a buffoonish World Wresting Federation-type cartoon character always hawking something? I'm willing to bet it was the latter.
However, since then Trump won us over with his commitment to conservative principles and obvious love for the country. Most people don't follow politics they way we do though, and they still see Trump as the buffoon. He's made no real effort to reach these people and makes it worse by shooting off his mouth without thinking. I get it as it's always worked for him in the past, but when you need 51% (including lots of political illiterates) sometimes a behavior change is warranted. He needs to really consider this as now he's even driving away supporters (such as myself) with his ill-timed antics.
I wanted to see Ben Carson win the nomination. He was already out when the Michigan primary rolled around. So I voted for Ted Cruze. My nephew, mid 40’s and a cop was all in for DJT. Then my sister in CO stood in line for hours twice to see him in rally’s there. She was all in. I still wasn’t convinced, but Carson supported him after he left the race, and he gave a list of SCjustices he would nominate and I liked that. I was not going to vote for Hilary. And I would not go 3rd party as did that with Ross Perot and gave the race to Clinton. I was not on the DJT bandwagon but when I went to our rural twp hall to vote, the place was packed, many blue collar friends with MAGA hats on. I have never felt so exhilarated after voting and I have voted in every election since I was 18. I didn’t expect him to win, but I felt good about voting for him.
Some excellent points Jeff C!
I was anti-Trump in 2016. I could've (held my nose) and voted for 16 of the 17 GOP candidates who ran, but not Trump. (I ended up taking a part in the Gary Johnson campaign after Trump was nominated.)
In 2020, however, I was all in. Despite his boorish, crude narcissism, I heavily supported Trump. We went to his rally in Tulsa, and after the steal, I went to a Stop the Steal rally (which ended up being just another GOP steal itself.)
But enough is enough. Trump is not at all a hero - he's in bed with Big Pharma. He's in bed with whomever goes to Mar a Lago to kiss his ring - no matter how transparently dishonest and establishment they are. (Kevin McCarthy, I'm looking at you.)
I get that the politically naive see his rough demeanor and wrongly think he's an outsider. He isn't. He's just a conman playing the part of "Spoiler" to convince the average voter to vote one more time. Just because he's despised by all the wrong people, doesn't make him right.
Right up until he started slamming DeSantis and Youngkin, I honestly would have voted for him if he were the nominee. Not anymore. Even if it were Biden/Harris vs. Trump, I'll sit it out.
Why all this Trump bashing? He's the best President in my lifetime. He said what he would do and then he did it, through great adversity. I judge him on his accomplishments, not his personality. I like his personality anyway.i dont see him as you do. He's the only person I can listen to for hour and not get bored.
And he wasn't downing DeSantis when he said De-sanctimonious . It means NOT Sanctimonious! But you just let the MSM tell you what it means.
He was playing with the press and I'm sure there is no animosity between Trump and DeSantis.
You don't understand what Trump is doing with the press. The minute he's not pulling their chain, they'll be all over him.
Uh...no. The race was only "close" because the black box cheating is designed to keep the Dem vote count just a little above the Rep count. Furthermore, they can't exceed the total registered voter roll as that would obviously reveal the steal. It's got nothing to do with your two points. Sure, the dem-idiots who depend on gov't freebies will always vote dem no matter what. But the last 2 years of OBiden BS gov't has done nothing but turn many many Democrats red in the ballot box as demonstrated in FL and Long Island. This was a national movement that could only be covered up by the black box cheating.
Secondly, characterizing Trump as a crude, obnoxious buffoon is the standard RINO narrative they promote to break up the populist movement in the party that threatens their power. To the contrary, Trump is very popular and the exaggerated caricature of him is an MSM and RINO narrative. Blaming the Republican Party's ineffectiveness on Trump is a deflection. The Rep Party's ineffectiveness is an intentional policy of the RINOs who only want to protect their power as fellow travelers with the Bolsheviks. They are traitors to America. Full stop .
"...Complaining about stolen elections (even if they actually were stolen!) just makes it worse as it makes us look like crybaby sore losers..."
Really?? I just have to add this. This is a typical Bolshevik tactic to intimidate the opposition to sit down and shut up. BS! This is allowing the opposition to set the terms of the debate and this has to stop. You think I'm going to shut up because someone calls me "crybaby"? Hell no. We are not the losers. The Democrats are the losers because they HAVE to resort to stealing votes just to get elected. I'm going to stand up and shout to everyone that the Democrat Bolsheviks are thieves, liars and evil communists. This is what we have to do to win. WE have to set the terms of the debate, call out the enemy for their evil and make them defend their position! We have to stand for what is right. Don't tell me to shut up.
Well thought-out comment. I agree with you about Trump. However what if all future elections are stolen due to computer manipulation? Naomi Wolf chimes in: https://naomiwolf.substack.com/p/america-broken-by-digital-hallucinogens
Exactly why I never liked Trump. A president should act like a president. If I want entertainment, I'll watch a movie or Gutfeld!
Then you never saw beyond what the media wanted. You did not see him go down to help Louisiana residents who were flooded by torrential rains. This was before he was ever elected. He got truck loads of supplies to be sent down to the poorest sections that were most affected. He passed out water and meals. Sure it was a photo op but the media mostly ignored it. He went to Afghanistan very quietly Christmas Eve to visit the troops. The actual soldiers loved him. Who quietly helped lay wreaths on the graves at Arlington. He gave Jennifer Hudson a place to live, all without fanfare. He tried to fulfill every promise he made as president. Ask yourself why a man who funded much of his own campaign, who did not take a presidential salary but donated it every quarter. He didn’t have to do any of these things, but he did. These are not the actions of a buffoonish narcissist.
I am exhausted after this election, I am in no mood to start speculating on what DJT or DeSantis may do.
Trump began the negotiations with the Taliban re: our disastrous pullout from Afghanistan. Everything he touches turns to crap.
To be fair, I will say that Trump is the only president in decades to *not* send our troops to fight a new military conflict.
So he deserves credit for that much.
Inflation and war they like that to? They like food shortages and gas that is expensive. I don’t know what to tell you at a loss here.
You are right in that things are a disaster, like I said the election should not have been close but it was aside from a few exceptions.
Either elections across the entire country were hacked (very unlikely and zero evidence) or people like this (my point #1) or think the alternative will be worse (my point #2). There is no other explanation.
And in line with the mess I just heard Russian rockets crossed over into Poland killing two. I don’t see how this is a winning narrative and the swing states are riddled with election issues. There are 13 reps in the house need to come up all democrat for the republicans to lose the house. I bet the 13 are flip democrat. I’m going on Biden smugness on as votes come in democrats will come up victorious and the president secretary reinforcing this narrative bc it’s ok to take one month to count ballots.
Wow, been reading this thread. All I can say is there sure does seem to be a lot RINO narrative being pushed here. As Rep we are doing exactly what the Bolsheviks want: tearing each other down. Which is funny cuz you don't see the Don and Ron doing that, now do you?
Could it not also be viewed as "We know what you did?"
Perhaps that's only a crappy horror flick; but many feel it's important that THEY know that WE know...
It's the losing Republican equivalent of a tearful "I'm telling Mom, and you're gonna' get it!
Luv my Gov...Ron DeSantis!!!
As someone who fled Michigan last year, the paradigm shift was obvious at the peak of COVID-mania. I knew Michigan was doomed when Gretchen relaxed the obedience mask requirement in 2021 and yet over fifty percent of patrons at the local Costco, Kroger, and Whole Foods still insisted on wearing them. Fearing that schools would insist on masks in Fall 2021 and possibly even vaccination, we made our move south.
Michigan's core economy is the medico-industrial complex. Creating and treating sick people is Michigan's comparative advantage, not building cars.
It's particularly evident in the tri-county area where the vast majority of economic development is led by mega-hospital systems. Sixty years ago it was 'The Big Three' and the various industries that supported them as suppliers. Now that the Michigan auto industry is effectively dead, the medico-industrial complex has replaced them. Thus, the fealty to masks, vaccines, DEI, gender affirming care, and abortions.
It's no secret that Gretchen's father was the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) and that Gretchen is a friend of current CEO Dan Loepp. https://theintercept.com/2018/07/18/michigan-governor-race-gretchen-whitmer-blue-cross/
BCBSM was one of the most aggressive businesses in Michigan to push COVID vaccines and gleefully fired several hundred non-compliant employees. The people who work for these companies and the medico-industrial complex tend to be card-carrying progressives who are current with their boosters and loyal to the narrative.
BCBSM and the medico-industrial complex are probably the state's biggest paid advertisers, Thus, Michigan's media is wholly in their pocket. What "they" want is what "they" will get.
Parenthetically, Gretchen's future post-governor is not in politics. Gretchen will undoubtedly follow in Dan Loepp's footsteps as the $30M a year CEO of BCBSM.
Thanks, I am from just north of Detroit, 14 and Gratiot area. I left in 1982 really, for Ann Arbor, but more fully in 92 when i came out to Oregon. It's nice for me to hear someone from MI speak in a way that chimes with me, I was raised with folks who did not have so wide and realistic a view of goings on wrt the insurance industry there. (Industry says it all, like the the medical industry we also are suffering from now, so many cogs). Members of my extended family worked at BCBSM and in hospital financial management. I was just a kid, but what they were engrossed in certainly had nothing to do with health, (even the jobs seemed unhealthy, for the stress). We've literally inflated things, made them bigger, more cumbersome, more fragile, with this industrial view. Both sides of the scales are out of balance (hey thats a balance just not one we want), companies too big, nanobits too small. The money master controls its slave. But I digress....thanks ejsmith
I had never considered this being north of that area in the rust belt area of the tri cities. We have Dow here in next door Midland, a conservative bastion for decades, now pretty blue, along with the cities of Saginaw and Bay City. Saginaw, has a large hospital complex, as does Midland and a lesser one in Bay City.
And Pfizer is in Kalamazoo.
They totally cheated. I knew dems who said they were done voting D.
(raises her hand)
I feel your pain...trapped in Commiefornia. And Gruesome Newsom is being groomed to run for Prez. Lord help us all.
Same! and my exact same fear. He is as slithering as Obama! UGH
Newsom is being groomed to be INSERTED as President.
if that happens a revolution will break out i am sure
No it won’t far too many LOOOOOOOVE him. And do not know the in connections.
I hear you about voting fraud and it definitely happens but what makes me mad is that the red wave should've been so far out that cheating at that level would be impossible. I didn't want close wins, in the current situation, I wanted undeniable wins everywhere like DeSantis got. There should've been few close races. Really, what the heck is it going to take for people to wake up, bread lines, war on our land? Just saw O'Reilly's daily take is 2 very difficult years coming. IDK, you think people will be ready then?
even 3 or 4 ball players and runners dropping dead every week does not wake them up. What do you want? the jabs made lots of them braindead
I thought Trudeaus lawyer dropping would do it, but gone from view...i do wonder how he is doing, not sure if stroke or fainted. Will folks even notice. They are broken in ways, it's getting more than painfully obvious and hard to watch, oh that psyop is a gift that keeps on giving for us trying to observe it...best Ingrid C Durden
Quite honestly it is so big - so much corruption and cheating - far and wide. Corporations, donations, possibly even other country involvement I don’t believe it would have ever turned red. The only difference is how Desantis changed the laws for voting and cheating. I have little hope we will EVER get out of BLUE.
Note that the computers control it, there is no wave too big to cheat. The computers can literally manufacture or switch votes at will. Or rather, on command.
*now
I don't think we know how many cheat votes can be used. Perhaps even a substantial difference in votes can still be fiddled with, we just don't know. And no one will find out.
TWO difficult years coming? That’s optimistic to the point of delusion.
SB- Can you direct me to the O'Reilly report where he talks about this. I would love to read his take on it.
https://www.billoreilly.com/b/Tough-Two-Years-Ahead/-187232338605474429.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mod
He calls it The Message of the Day. It's brief and encourages you to watch his show. I don't remember how I signed up for it.
The election was "fortified" in certain crucial locales.
$$$ from ....... FTX. Ukraine. Taxpayers.
Ah.... I know - ALL THE ABOVE.
Exactly. And I keep wondering why Republicans never figure out what the crucial states are and work hard to counter what will happen in those states. They don't recruit and support strong candidates.
Listened to Ron Armstrong from SUM. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He says we need to fight like the Dems and start yesterday for the 2024 elections. It’s a great thought but Conservatives by nature don’t fight like the behind the scenes cabal that the Dem party is a front for.
The stage was set for Michigan for decades. It was a well known secret among the political world that the MiGOP was corrupt, a fact I was rudely introduced to in our fight against lockdowns in 2020. After the 2016 election, white women went nuts, egged on I am sure. Pink pussy hats and women going to DC to demonstrate against Trump’s inauguration. The media couldn’t get enough of it. I know because Liberal women I knew were all over social media. Shortly thereafter, there was a petition drive to get a new redistricting law on the ballot using a bipartisan committee to do the census redistricting. One of my friends was adamant about it, and I believe she really thought that was why Trump won Michigan. I looked into the group funding the petition drive and it had leftist ties that weren’t hard to find. It made the 2018 ballot. Along with it were a legalized marijuana initiative proposal and a same day voter registration proposal that went completely unreported. The Liberals turned out massive voter turnouts on the big college campuses across this state. The marijuana industry contributed heavily to getting this proposal passed and to Whitmer, Nessel, and Benson’s campaigns. All 3 proposals passed and all 3 were elected. Was there corruption in the election? Who knows but it was really convenient when the pandemic dropped and we were locked down. Marijuana stores and PP stayed open though. Because women’s rights to safe health care was essential according to Gov Whitmer.
The pandemic was dropped to screw the election with mail in ballots in places such as Michigan where 7 million applications for absentee ballots were mailed out in June. Because everything was locked down including all gov’t offices, computer signature verification was employed. SOS Benson was charged with failure to correctly perform her duties but it went nowhere. On election night Michigan shut down counting ballots. They boarded up windows and threatened poll challengers. Election computers were connected to outside sources, this was proven. Ballot drops were shown via camera footage. Many of us went to bed with Trump comfortably ahead and woke up to his lead almost gone. No one could believe it. When the Michigan election was called for Biden no one could believe it. A U.S. senate race went to the Democrat incumbent who campaigned not at all. The Michigan SC flipped to Liberal, something that would be telling in the months to come. But the down ballot races remained typical for most areas of Michigan. Despite piles of affidavits and video footage the AG refused to do an investigation of election corruption. The Michigan Legislature assigned a committee to investigate who ruled, “nothing wrong” here and certified the election. Come up to 2022. Michigan, because of Whitmer received unbelievable amounts of covid monies, which mostly disappeared. Roe v Wade was overturned in June and promptly appeared a Constitutional ballot initiative that not only was abortion up to birth but parental rights given up in their children’s health care. A voter initiative also showed up and miraculously made it to the ballot, as did an extension of Legislator’s tenure. The bipartisan committee redistricted the state and made some obviously odd redrawn lines, ultimately putting larger cities in all favored Democrats. Many of these were surrounded by rural areas, but the idea is always to turn urban areas and surrounding suburbs into Dem strongholds. The MiGOP, along with money from Betsy DeVos got Tudor Dixon on the primary ballot for governor, then promptly got all kinds of crossover voting. She was 20 percentage points ahead of the next two very popular contenders. Almost as soon as she secured the GOP nomination, the RNC quit fundraising for her. She was likable and in two debates wiped the floor with Whitmer, but few saw the debates. She received a bus two weeks prior to the election which she gamely traveled all over the state. Meanwhile, Whitmer pounded the abortion issue in wall to wall television ads. Dixon had virtually none. The RNC and Michigan GOP deserted virtually every grass roots candidate in place at the state and National levels. The Michigan Legislature was flipped to Liberal. None of it unexpected if you followed what was going on. Add in the redistricting and you have the mess Michigan is in. Long, I know but an explanation which might be what did not surprise here.
Florida is an anomaly and I’m not sure it isn’t being set up for something. There were different tactics employed by different states as far as I can tell. It was a telling point that Florida seems to be the only state to clean up election laws. It was something Kari Lake promised to do in AZ. They were not going to let her win. If it had been a Republican SOS, running for governor, running her own election so to speak, the Dems would be screaming bloody murder. But nary a peep in the case of AZ. It seems we quite often compare if it was a Republican doing the corruption how it would be called out, but it never happens.
Great comment, Laurie. As always, I thank you for the time. I think that you nailed the MI GOP's complicity in an incestuous relationship quite well. All told, it doesn't bode well for Michigan or this country with a GOP that is gutless and possibly knee-deep in it.
Sigh. Very insightful detail, thanks for laying it all out. The Republicans are so supine I've had to wonder if they are ALL (i.e. all parties) in on the scam, playing out their different roles in this criminal enterprise we call our government. Depressing to read all the increasingly sordid detail.
This is all so sickening 😞
Prion disease from the jabs, and or the inability to think new thoughts, as many jabbed are not physically ok anymore. Dying people cannot think new thoughts, in general, lack of energy.
All of you (even those of us in Florida) should read this and plan for how to implement it, as a way to counter the Dem tactic focused on ballots. In warfare, a new weapon only works until the opponent figures out its vulnerabilities and exploits them. Get to work in your locality:
How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System
"The Wisconsin team proved, in this election, that adding even a small amount of friction – removing thousands of phantom names and identifying several hundred thousand incorrect addresses — has a massive impact on the ballot-gathering system.
"Our Wisconsin election heroes applied Fractal Programming technology, funded by Mike Lindell, at scale to find and challenge phantoms. The process is explained at www.Omega4America.com."

Huuuge!!!!
I do not think we have fair elections anymore …
I’m probably not supposed to say that out loud or I’ll be put in jail by the thought police …
But How on earth is PA electing Fetterman??
He’s massively cognitively impaired. He’s not fit to lead.
I really do not believe the people of PA are that ridiculous!!
It feels like a litmus test to see just how far they can push the common sense of people… without people pushing back.
And The answer is…
Apparently VERY very far.
It doesn't matter what you're "supposed " to say! You are an Election Realist. Say it often. Dont let any one define you.
Fetters being "elected" is proof enough of irregularities.
Same in New Mexico. Depressing is what it is.
I feel your pain .. same in IL.
trapped here in PrickSter land.
Me too 😭😭
What's even worse is being in a state that has been SOLIDLY red for 60 years (Oklahoma) and watching the progressives take over the cities (Tulsa, OKC, Norman). We had a very "Red Wave-ish" election (Gov., US Senate, US Reps all in GOP hands), but that 's not the story in Tulsa or OKC, where the progressives made in-roads to our DA and State House.
It's super depressing to see the writing on the wall and look forward to a Blue Oklahoma at some point in the near future.
How do they do it?
By running photogenic soccer moms who avoid all issues at all costs.
They know they can't openly advocate for abortion in pro-life Oklahoma, so they run stealth campaigns to appeal to an electorate that oh-so-desperately want to be seen as hip and progressive.
You are an Election Realist. Spread the word.
You're right. It's not remotely possible.
Project Veritas had proof from a few years ago that there's a vote-buying operation going on in Ilhan Omar's district. They paid $200 for a ballot.
Here is one way to fight ballot fraud that's working and might stop Democrat control:

Great read - thanks. Mike Lindell is doing a good job.
Time to support Mike! Christmas is coming- order something off his website as a gift… stop supporting Bezos and cabal.
Huuuuuge!!! You and Fla mom...great job.
Buy local and/or buy small too whenever and as often as you can ..... even just doing it a few more times than you do now .... it all adds up and helps move money from the big guys and gals to the smaller operations. I really think even a small shift of money to local and/or smaller operations may bring surprising power back to the people and to the big guys and gals so that they can tell the federal government and the World Economic Forum to bug off because it is hurting their bottom line. *** Update added .... I forgot about the cash issue ... love the comment on using cash more often ... doesn't have to be a big change .... little changes by even a small percentage of people really add up (just ask any PTA/PTO leader :) ) ..... every time I use cash, I love that it is more money that stayed with the local and/or small business and less money for the big credit card processers who seem to have such a big influence on our federal government. Definitely worth the extra effort to go to the bank to get cash I think. Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
As an aside, I ordered a Ron DeSantis coffee mug. To my delight, it was made by HF Coors in the USA. I just happened to notice because I have a set of HF Coors dishes that I love - free of lead, etc. Thought that was very cool of his campaign. They could have made lots more money going with cheap Chinese-made mugs.
Yes, no more Chinese schwag, not easy to avoid. Read a really good book on one familys journey to deChineseify their household, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Year-Without-Made-China-Adventure/dp/0470379200 its probs at your local library, or local bookseller, good read, even humorous, but goes into the nitty gritty of having kids, birthday parties, all without Chinese goods.
Oh wow hadn't heard of this book - thank you!
