An Election Day roundup! True the Vote gets out of jail; pre-election cheating; nightmare scenario for Dems; nightmare scenario for Ukraine; hispanics flipping red; study raises jab questions; & more.
Michigander here. If we can defeat Prop 3 I'll be satisfied. If we can oust Big Gretch, I'll be thrilled. We need to send the message to pro-lockdown politicians that there's a bigger cost for tyranny than for freedom.
Limit the number of customers in the store at one time (excluding employees) to 4 people per 1,000 square feet of customer floor space. The amount of customer floor space must be calculated to exclude store areas that are closed under subprovision (2) of this subsection.
Close areas of the store—by cordoning them off, placing signs in aisles, posting prominent signs, removing goods from shelves, or other appropriate means—that are dedicated to the following classes of goods:
Carpet or flooring.
Furniture.
Garden centers and plant nurseries.
Paint."
Many small businesses were not able to sell because of lockdown.
You could not go to a second residence in MI for a long period of time as well.
OK, the whole lock down BS. Just the usual unconstitutional executive action. If anyone thinks these "mandates" were constitutional just because they did them, they're an idiot. We've effectively been in a dictatorship for the last 2 years as everything they've done has been unconstitutional. A reckoning is coming.
It would have been funny if the Gov issued an executive order that the sale of seeds was prohibited in MI. I guess I'm just trying to find some humor.
Three big NO's. The flyers mailed were misleading. People need to read the actual proposals. If people don't get this right, I'm seriously thinking to jump state.
That was incorrectly painted as a racial issue. It was not.
That man was going to be admitted to a psych hospital, where he belonged. But when he tested positive for Covid (he looks really sick, doesn't he?) he was diverted to a nursing home to infect the only people who were at risk of dying from Covid.
I live in TX but originally from MI. Our families live in MI so I keep up with MI politics. I've been watching Tudor Dixon and I have to say, she's impressive. I am rooting for her! Yesterday, she was 3-4 points behind Gretch. You never know! I definitely believe in miracles!
Voted myself and I agree with everything you said. I am in a rural area and always enjoyed voting in person and today for the first time since covid, no plexiglass, no disposing of markers, everything seemed normal. I believe we have to defeat Prop 3, but if 2 isn’t also defeated, you can kiss any kind of election fairness in this state goodbye. That is why the two props came out together. Praying people remember. While I am not optimistic, there is still hope.
Even the verbiage is confusing. Oregonians can’t decipher anything about the proposals and end up voting wrongly because of that. In Florida they even word things crappy. On purpose. Although it is like night and day compared to how bad Oregon is. I did notice a proposal in our county that sounded great until you dug a little deeper and noticed they stuffed a bunch of unwanted groups on the list which will raise our taxes to accommodate. It was disheartening. I wanted to say yes to first responders, but no to the others they snuck in there. Then what do you do. 😞 I did a lot of digging to find out what groups were who, and what effect it has on citizens. Voting requires a lot of research to combat their pork and word salads to decipher what you are actually voting for or against. They are confusing on purpose! It’s infuriating.
The funding proposal you describe: Works for the US Congress. Write a one-liner bill, then cram the Christmas stocking full of "supplementals", then rush it thru a vote.
Democrats: we think many people are just too stupid to figure out how to get an ID so let's do away with voter ID entirely! Because...you know, DEMOCRACY!
Also Democrats: we'll word salad our proposals so bad that you'll have to be a political scholar to understand them.
We have several in KS today and I was reading somewhere that the grade level required to read and understand either one was 17+--I'm guessing that is graduate level plus to understand. Why the AF is this the language used for these things??? Your average voter probably has 8+ reading level and the language is 17+
Plus they obfuscate things by writing the proposals in a very unclear and confusing way. They always give the proposal a nice sounding name to confuse those who don't read the whole proposal, and such people usually think they are voting for something entirely different.
This is just another example of what We The People need to take back from these lobbyists and government groups. These hacks need to be removed from every single level of our voting procedures. Down to the last little detail!
I’m in Florida. I voted NO on constitutional amendment # 3 that would give an additional homestead exemption of $50,000 because it included teachers. I know several teachers and they’re all women married to men who make good incomes.
I'm voting later today and I too am going to vote no. I don't want more "special" classes of citizens. People should not be taxed or untaxed because of their job.
Ditto in PC FL. In principle, it is always wrong to treat different segments of the population with different tax policies. Always think first, "Is this right or wrong based on principle?" There are other ways to show appreciation for first responders than a discriminatory tax policy. All taxpayers should be treated the same. If the state can afford a tax break, give everyone some more tax exemption. Now, if we need more first responders, offer more in salary and pay them what they are worth. Tax law should treat all the same.
That is spot on too! Thank you. I kept thinking I want to support the first responders, but how is that fair to other careers that are just as difficult and do not pay much? Why is one preferred over the other. So should we give an exemption to all plumbers? I’m sure they would love it. But then what about the electricians and garbage collectors? Preferential treatment is not what we should be aiming for. They knew how much they got paid when they chose that career, as in every line of work. Thanks for helping to clarify that thought process!
A dedicated compassionate nursing home aide is just as important as a “first responder”. We need to scrap this idea that we should “reward” people with extra public money or benefits. It only creates more divisions among us, and eventually, a sense of entitlement takes hold. There are other ways to show our appreciation.
Yes! Plus, someone else brought up a good point too. How do you monitor the employees that they are still working in that job? So if a firefighter quits, or a social worker or teacher quits, who’s going to monitor that so they don’t keep getting the exemption? Oh ya. More government officials I guess. Bigger govt right?
Yes, and it has been pointed by others many, many times that tax exemptions are a huge tell that taxes are way too high and beyond a constitutionally necessary rate of exaction. Also, offering exemption is really in some sense vote buying. And vote buying is a form of larceny and a breech of the trustee responsibility of legislative representatives.
And when one begins to confront elected officials of legislative bodies with this line of argument, they suddenly are at a loss as to what to say. And such officials are reluctant to admit the constitutions are suspended (even if they knew it) because then there would be even a lot more s'plaining to do.
The American constitutions (all suspended) were designed to uphold the God-conferred Liberties, among them property held under equal protection of the Law. Distributing wealth through the ballot box by legislative fiat is looting. That is, looting by stealing from Paul in order to give a benefit to Peter. Or simply put ... Paul's pocket is looted, but Peter gets a nice golden goose egg.
Voting for special exemptions by stealing language wrapping up in nice pretty fraud words is lying. And such votes are votes against the constitutions by the stated purposes of the same ... and also are votes against the maintenance of a non-stealing moral order.
But you said it and good for you. It's a big deal. And bigger than most people think. Theft of any kind is a massive violation of our lower case sovereign selves.
(Capital S is God, the Sovereign King of all. In the old American System we were sovereigns, the people the owners of government. Kind of gives the Colonial battle cry of 'No King but King Jesus' a little more significance.)
Yeah, our forefathers understood the governmental and legal implications of the term "King" which informed the founding documents they wrote. Today people only under the term King in some kind of romanticized idea with no connection to law or government. Our pastors have failed in their job.
I agree. Public (and mostly private too) education has turned education into glorified job training. The difference between a trade school and university is that the university training is more upscale as to vocations. Teaching how to think, a rigorous traditional survey of history, how to weigh things out, this has mostly been thrown out the window. And then there is history erasure! Whole histories either rewritten or omitted. The seminaries too have truncated their teaching. We were totally amazed to find out how dumbed down even allegedly Reformed Christian seminaries are these days.
I agree on FL constitutional amendment #3 for homestead exemption. It only covers county / state employees, teachers, etc. How about teachers or support staff in private or charter schools...
So I have a question about #2. I originally thought why would we abolish the Constitution Revision Commission? It sounds good at face value which they bank on voters doing (no research). Then I looked up what it was! And then it made sense. If I read this right, this is the same group responsible for adding teachers and social workers to the Homestead for first responders proposal. A group of partisan hacks disguised as constitutional authority to help the people add amendments to the state constitution! They sneak in the pork! Republicans were not for this group. Most of them voted against its formation. So now I am voting YES to abolish them rather than the NO I was going to vote before doing the research.
Might I ask (since we are new to Florida) if you know am I missing anything here?
Ok. Now can you help me understand the first one? Limitation on the assessment of real property? I’m going later today to vote with my husband and this is the last one I can’t figure out.
I'm voting yes to number one. As I understand it, a yes means that if you improve your properties resistance to flooding, you won't have to pay an increase in ad valorem taxes due to the "theoretical" increase in value of your property.
In California, we have learned to vote every single ballot proposal down. But you DO have to read carefully as sometimes they sneakily word things so that to vote "no" you have to vote "yes". Occasionally. On my ballot this time, I voted no for everything.
In Washington we voted to end a tax instead of continuing it. They said it didn’t pass because people didn’t understand it, so they had a second vote and it passed. Shocker (not) We have no hope in the system here.
Unfortunately, not enough people knew that there was a people’s ballot initiative called Secure My Vote, collecting signatures fall of 21 and last winter. The SOS office kept slow walking it and then when we wanted to have it approved before the election, they found something else wrong. Then Boom, out comes Promote the Vote. Nothing that is put in a proposal that we vote on is going to help the people, bank on it.
Should be interesting seeing the results tomorrow/next week/whenever. _Really_ hoping we don't see more post-midnight bumps in ballot counts like we did in 2020. I know a lot of people are fed up with the economy and supply chains and such right now. Sadly, in my little area in TX I see far too many "Beto" signs for my comfort. I have no idea what exactly people think they'd get with him in charge. That includes a couple of my neighbors who I'd normally think would not line up with his "values". I don't expect him to win, but with the way Abbott behaved the last couple of years I can see that people would be ticked at him. Voting for Beto isn't the answer, but I can definitely understand wanting someone else. :/
Regardless, I'm going to remember that God is still in charge. Local/National politics don't change that.
I also appreciate the time you spend on these daily summaries. It's good to see a lot of the news and opinions that aren't "fit to print" in our mainstream media outlets. :)
I was surprised at the number of Beto signs I saw a couple of months ago when we were visiting our son in Bastrop. I join you in finding comfort in the fact that God is in charge. My prayer today is, "God, please have mercy on us." Whatever happens, He will never leave or forsake His children.
I saw that post midnight bump in the results in 2021 for a couple of counties in NJ during the governor's race. For a goodly number of hours it looked like Murphy was going to lose and then in the wee hours in two democrat stronghold counties the numbers spiked.
My heart breaks for all of you in Canada. I followed closely the truckers' convoy and even saw the beating of the Rebel News journalist and the people who were run over by horses when Trudeau's goons cracked down. I wished I could go into the cafe which was targeted and eventually shut down because its owners dared to stay open.
Thanks ya, people think we are so passive here but that is not the case. And we've been stuck with pretty boy turdeau for so long, we're a little sick of the bullshit.
Happy Red Wave Tuesday! I'm preparing to drink in the salty lefty tears that will pour out tonight.
I love the quote “Here’s where the Democrats are: they’re inflation deniers, they are crime deniers, they’re education deniers.” As vaxxx denier and election denier, I identify with this post!
Another vax and election denier here! I am so very glad that my husband and I questioned and did research and said no to the shots. I don't intend to ever take any kind of vaccine again.
Please watched "Vaxxed" the documentary with the CDC whistleblower on childhood vaccines. It is well done and well supported with the whistleblowers documents. It broke my heart and made me realize that I would never take another vax of any kind for the rest of my life!
BEWARE, those of you living and voting in the 14 so-called battleground states. Herr Garland has deployed the National Guard's cybersecurity teams to "monitor election security".
Might the ba$tards be attempting another steal? Pesky maggot voters ... how dare they reject the governance of the Brandon Regime's appointed stooges!
Heading out to vote for America’s Best Ever Governor, Ron DeSantis. His Unite and Win Rally speech was energizing last night. He is surely a gift from God...considering the fact that we Floridians nearly got 4 years of George Soros backed Andrew Gillum...Yikes!
I vaguely recall some trolls facing legal charges for intentionally posting the wrong (too-late) voting date in a previous election (2016, I think?). It seems like Alachua County’s Future bogus text could fall into the same category of intentionally misleading the public about voting and could thus be subject to legal action. What do you think, Jeff?
Regarding your economic advice during an inflationary cycle, this is the first time I’ve ever been glad we don’t have any savings and have invested in stockpiling cat food instead! 😹
Here’s a list of the FDA user fees for 2023 vs. 2022:
You’ll see the application fee has increased from $3,117,218 to $3,242,026 (a 4% increase) for 2023, so you’ll need to multiply that by every application (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.) and figure out how many billions of dollars we’ll need to buy the FDA ;-)
Actually, I have a better idea: let’s just abolish it and reclaim our tax-extorted dollars.
I fear that many of these elections will take weeks to call. I remember the good old days when you voted on Election Day and the results were given that night. These mail-in ballots should be abandoned except for the  bedridden, infirmed and the military. AND maybe if you can prove you will be out of town. Also IMHO it should be either a morning/afternoon off from work so you can do your civic duty. Now that’s AMERICAN!
With mail in, everyone gets a ballot to mail back. With absentee, if a person is not going be able to get to the polling station on Election Day, they can request a ballot in advance.
I'll never figure this out...in past elections (up until the 1990's), all elections were manually tabulated or on paper. We got final results almost always before midnight...
Today, with all the "modern" technology, we can't seem to get results for days...
I know what you're thinking...it takes days to manipulate the votes...but seriously, bring back paper ballots and voter ID!
Barron's used to be a great read...30-40 years ago. Like so many other things, it has become infested with liberalism or socialism or stupidity.
...Struggling presidency"...maybe, but fantastic dictatorship if you are into that sort of thing.
Election cheating? I finally figured out why major elections are so close to Halloween. As the dead come out of their graves to spook the living, there are the democrats to make sure they fill out an absentee ballot...with only one party choice of course.

Interesting story of note: Sir Evelyne Rothschild died today. One of the great Titans of the NWO died today on what will likely be a tsunami of a referendum on the authoritarian fascist Left, and their beloved NWO.
I feel great peace about today’s election. I have prayed and fasted, and worked hard to get the truth out to the people these last two years. It is up to God to work His miracles now, and He will.
LOL - Reminds me of the GoFundMe I tried to start to buy the kids out of the covid shot mandate that appeared to be coming at us here in CA. The California Prison Guard's union was able to buy its way out of the experimental shot mandate for just a couple million dollar contribution to the Gavin Newsom campaign, and I figured that with a price that low we ought to have the same opportunity. That effort was cancelled immediately as well. GoFundMe is loaded with degenerate hacks just like every other unprincipled freedom hating large corporation in the US.

She outlawed buying seeds and plants for a period of time in 2021, saying they were non-essential.
I rest my case.
She is absolutely cancerous.
Mass murderer
I'll bet you could still get pot plants and seeds.
Oh yes, you could, was ALWAYS a line wrapped around the building.
I tried to come up with something witty..but all I can say is yeah, you’re spot on.
How is that even possible?????
Executive order 2020-42

Great question. Just rmemeber in 2020 there was a lot of “oh we don’t know what this means, or if it’s constitutional, we will just do it”.
Three big NO's. The flyers mailed were misleading. People need to read the actual proposals. If people don't get this right, I'm seriously thinking to jump state.
Tried to explain prop 3 to my brother. He sent me a fact check from NBC news. I give up. I'm with you, Lee. Let's get out
There is the case for the faithful remnant, the voice of sanity in the midst of chaos.
That’s what it’s like in CA. Tempted to give up but my kids need a better world for the future, as they like it here.
Florida welcomes you!
Check out Charlie LeDuff podcast from yesterday. He rips Whitmers lies with proof.

You could always drive up and vote in Michigan today. 🤣
😂
Vote today and make sure abbot stays in. Beto is the exact opposite of him.
Same for us. Lots of our family live in MI and we keep up with what’s happening there. I doubt she was REALLY behind witless. 🙄

Oh yeah! And the "selling" of proposition 2 is a total lie. My wife had the impression it was about enforcing voter ID.
Hope John James gets a seat in Congress!
Yes! I’ve been routing him on since he started running! He won last time. They stole that from him. I watched the numbers on election night. So sick.

Quite the treasure trove of clues!
Yes to both. I screwed up and voted Yes on prop 2 which I think is a mistake.
Please always just read the proposals actual verbiage. Ignore those fake flyers spreading lies.

I agree. Even in TN you have to navigate 17 double negatives to figure out what they are really saying. It's on purpose to confuse people.
The funding proposal you describe: Works for the US Congress. Write a one-liner bill, then cram the Christmas stocking full of "supplementals", then rush it thru a vote.
Democrats: we think many people are just too stupid to figure out how to get an ID so let's do away with voter ID entirely! Because...you know, DEMOCRACY!

Exactly! And an attack on Property (and really not constitutionally sanctioned). Steal from some to give what is not 'theirs' to give to others.

I was not aware of the state of the Reformed seminaries. That's pretty sad.
I agree on FL constitutional amendment #3 for homestead exemption. It only covers county / state employees, teachers, etc. How about teachers or support staff in private or charter schools...
That’s an interesting point as well. Thank you for that input.
That was exactly my problem with it. And social workers.

I agree. I have come to find that out in Michigan also. Vote No on every single proposal. I hope it’s not too late.
It's done on purpose. No candidate or proposal is perfect, but pros and cons must be weighed by individuals.
In Washington we voted to end a tax instead of continuing it. They said it didn’t pass because people didn’t understand it, so they had a second vote and it passed. Shocker (not) We have no hope in the system here.
Oregon is the same way. Just keep manipulating until they get the outcome they want. Nevermind what the voters want. We are just in their way.
Have learned that everything is upside down.

I know a lot of people are fed up with the economy and supply chains and such right now. Sadly, in my little area in TX I see far too many "Beto" signs for my comfort. I have no idea what exactly people think they'd get with him in charge. That includes a couple of my neighbors who I'd normally think would not line up with his "values". I don't expect him to win, but with the way Abbott behaved the last couple of years I can see that people would be ticked at him. Voting for Beto isn't the answer, but I can definitely understand wanting someone else. :/
Regardless, I'm going to remember that God is still in charge. Local/National politics don't change that.
I also appreciate the time you spend on these daily summaries. It's good to see a lot of the news and opinions that aren't "fit to print" in our mainstream media outlets. :)
I was surprised at the number of Beto signs I saw a couple of months ago when we were visiting our son in Bastrop. I join you in finding comfort in the fact that God is in charge. My prayer today is, "God, please have mercy on us." Whatever happens, He will never leave or forsake His children.
I saw that post midnight bump in the results in 2021 for a couple of counties in NJ during the governor's race. For a goodly number of hours it looked like Murphy was going to lose and then in the wee hours in two democrat stronghold counties the numbers spiked.
That was outright larceny.
How did that Goldman Sachs Nursing Home Murderer have a chance?
But the stumblebum he "ran" against- Jack Shitarelli- was happy to take adive anyway .
Good luck on the outcome of your election today. We are watching with much interest from Canada, wishing we had our own midterms here.
My heart breaks for all of you in Canada. I followed closely the truckers' convoy and even saw the beating of the Rebel News journalist and the people who were run over by horses when Trudeau's goons cracked down. I wished I could go into the cafe which was targeted and eventually shut down because its owners dared to stay open.
Thanks ya, people think we are so passive here but that is not the case. And we've been stuck with pretty boy turdeau for so long, we're a little sick of the bullshit.
I also became aware of a podcaster who calls himself Viva Frei. He fled to Florida a few months ago.
Viva Frei's Rumble Channel: https://rumble.com/user/vivafrei
Thank you for the link, I'd not heard of this so I will enjoy it now!
He’s also on YouTube but only for part of his podcast, then he cuts over to rumble.
Necessary to do so to avoid YouTube's censorship. The Epoch Times does the same thing.
Really!? Interesting
And. . . Isn't he elected into office by Parliament, not voters? Weird.
Toadily weird. As a wise person once said, if voting made the slightest bit of difference, they wouldn't let us do it.
Happy Red Wave Tuesday! I'm preparing to drink in the salty lefty tears that will pour out tonight.
I love the quote “Here’s where the Democrats are: they’re inflation deniers, they are crime deniers, they’re education deniers.” As vaxxx denier and election denier, I identify with this post!
Another vax and election denier here! I am so very glad that my husband and I questioned and did research and said no to the shots. I don't intend to ever take any kind of vaccine again.
Same. I did my research. By summer 2020 I knew the mRNA would be a big no. And lockdowns were evil.
In fact, it looks like any and all vaccines are useless at best, for humans and pets. Still researching tho.
Please watched "Vaxxed" the documentary with the CDC whistleblower on childhood vaccines. It is well done and well supported with the whistleblowers documents. It broke my heart and made me realize that I would never take another vax of any kind for the rest of my life!
Same!! There are a lot of us.
Me too, never vaxx again.
Absolutely and this years flu shot is combined w the Covid jab. How awesome is that🤮
BEWARE, those of you living and voting in the 14 so-called battleground states. Herr Garland has deployed the National Guard's cybersecurity teams to "monitor election security".
Might the ba$tards be attempting another steal? Pesky maggot voters ... how dare they reject the governance of the Brandon Regime's appointed stooges!
My state, North Carolina, is one of those.
After the Canadian Freedom Convoy debacle I would recommend everyone avoid using GoF*Me, even to try to buy back the FDA. 🙃
Consider using GiveSendGo instead.
Yes I posted same!
Heading out to vote for America’s Best Ever Governor, Ron DeSantis. His Unite and Win Rally speech was energizing last night. He is surely a gift from God...considering the fact that we Floridians nearly got 4 years of George Soros backed Andrew Gillum...Yikes!

Talk about dodging a bullet.
Yeah seriously.
Never been jealous of a vote before, but I wanna vote for him toooooo. Ahhh, if luck be a lady, maybe some day I’ll get the chance. 😄
Kari Lake was fun to vote for too!!
Closest I got was voting to recall gruesome Newsom earlier this year
SAME!
I fondly remember the time when learning to read and write and do math was what they taught in school. Ah, the good old days.
& taught critical thinking!
It was called LOGIC.
Critical Thinking has a different meaning and was never included in a school curriculum.
Recently an attempt to add a logic requirement was added to a school district in Alaska.
Sadly, the school board voted it down!
https://go.boarddocs.com/ak/matsu/Board.nsf/files/CJEVA87F674F/$file/Resolution%2023-004%20Draft.pdf
Well, who wants logic?? Certainly not the Democrats and the RINOS.
I’d love to see logic back in the school curriculum!
Imho a good solid education (of old) creates critical thinkers.
Dumbed down education (Common Core, CRT, SEL,revisionist history, etc.) creates robotons who question nothing but follow dutifully.
In middle school, they taught us the marketing tricks. I’d watch commercials with my Dad& we’d figure out what ploy they were using. It was fun .
Maybe I’m older than you. I do remember it in my middle school.
and American history!!
I vaguely recall some trolls facing legal charges for intentionally posting the wrong (too-late) voting date in a previous election (2016, I think?). It seems like Alachua County’s Future bogus text could fall into the same category of intentionally misleading the public about voting and could thus be subject to legal action. What do you think, Jeff?
Regarding your economic advice during an inflationary cycle, this is the first time I’ve ever been glad we don’t have any savings and have invested in stockpiling cat food instead! 😹
Here’s a list of the FDA user fees for 2023 vs. 2022:
• https://www.raps.org/news-and-articles/news-articles/2022/10/fda-posts-fy2023-user-fee-tables
You’ll see the application fee has increased from $3,117,218 to $3,242,026 (a 4% increase) for 2023, so you’ll need to multiply that by every application (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.) and figure out how many billions of dollars we’ll need to buy the FDA ;-)
Actually, I have a better idea: let’s just abolish it and reclaim our tax-extorted dollars.
Abolish ALL Federal unconstitutional departments & agencies
Interesting how we've managed to codify bribery of the FDA:
Prescription Drug User Fee Amendments

Ha! I too, have a stockpile of cat food.
I know you are probably inundated with emails but I sent you one last night. Wanted to get your take on this effort:
https://www.banners4freedom.com/
I fear that many of these elections will take weeks to call. I remember the good old days when you voted on Election Day and the results were given that night. These mail-in ballots should be abandoned except for the  bedridden, infirmed and the military. AND maybe if you can prove you will be out of town. Also IMHO it should be either a morning/afternoon off from work so you can do your civic duty. Now that’s AMERICAN!
ABSENTEE ballots YES;early voting & mail-in NO.
Absentee has more accountability & accommodates genuine needs of certain voters.
Mail-ins are the Wild West voting
what's the difference between absentee and mail-in voting?
With mail in, everyone gets a ballot to mail back. With absentee, if a person is not going be able to get to the polling station on Election Day, they can request a ballot in advance.
In MO, our absentee ballots have to be notarized.
I like the idea of having to notarize the not-in-person ballots. Maybe too much commonsense to put into practice . . .
I'll never figure this out...in past elections (up until the 1990's), all elections were manually tabulated or on paper. We got final results almost always before midnight...
Today, with all the "modern" technology, we can't seem to get results for days...
I know what you're thinking...it takes days to manipulate the votes...but seriously, bring back paper ballots and voter ID!
Don't know why I believe it but I think electronic voting came in with daddy Bush and has favored establishment candidates since.
Barron's used to be a great read...30-40 years ago. Like so many other things, it has become infested with liberalism or socialism or stupidity.
...Struggling presidency"...maybe, but fantastic dictatorship if you are into that sort of thing.
Election cheating? I finally figured out why major elections are so close to Halloween. As the dead come out of their graves to spook the living, there are the democrats to make sure they fill out an absentee ballot...with only one party choice of course.
A bunch of news sources that were good 30-40 yrs ago suck now. Nat Geo, 60 minutes etc
Wrt the most amazing ☕C&C🦠 juggernaut’s multiplier crusades ↓↓
🗨 The number 22 is seen as a sign of good luck or of positive things to come. It is perceived as *the most powerful and creative number of all*. This means you're able to overcome all kinds of obstacles, and aren't easily knocked back by failure.
I’m told you don’t need to believe numerology to facilitate its effects 😇
Aside from that numbers definitely have meaning. Look at 777 and 666 in the bible.
Funny. That's what I donated.
Nah, not funny, think insightful. Multiplier itself multiplied through tapping into number magic 😉
Interesting story of note: Sir Evelyne Rothschild died today. One of the great Titans of the NWO died today on what will likely be a tsunami of a referendum on the authoritarian fascist Left, and their beloved NWO.
I feel great peace about today’s election. I have prayed and fasted, and worked hard to get the truth out to the people these last two years. It is up to God to work His miracles now, and He will.
My Election Day shirt reads: Free Thinking, Social(ism) Distancing, God fearing, Bible reading, Truth Seeking, Patriot 🥰
I’m in Michigan. Mine reads “Unborn Lives Matter”
'Abortion Takes A Life'
Abortion extinguishes a human life that is created by God
LOL - Reminds me of the GoFundMe I tried to start to buy the kids out of the covid shot mandate that appeared to be coming at us here in CA. The California Prison Guard's union was able to buy its way out of the experimental shot mandate for just a couple million dollar contribution to the Gavin Newsom campaign, and I figured that with a price that low we ought to have the same opportunity. That effort was cancelled immediately as well. GoFundMe is loaded with degenerate hacks just like every other unprincipled freedom hating large corporation in the US.
