Cooking the Books: Why Republicans Always Come up Short

By Jay Valentine at American Thinker:

Elections, like corporations, have books everyone can see to make an election or investment decision.

Corporations have a cash flow report, balance sheet, income statement, and the supporting material needed to properly inform an investor.  If these don’t match, hundreds of Wall Street types immediately pick up on it.  It is possible to make a bad investment decision, but if a company publishes deliberately false financials, the CEO and CFO visit the clink. 

Remember Sarbanes-Oxley?  You can bet every public company CEO does.

Election records begin with the voter registry.

A voter, candidate, election official or a curious person with too much time on their hands can review these.  They are usually available to candidates and political parties; sometimes costing thousands of dollars — sometimes free.  Depends on the state.

Republicans don’t understand there are two sets of books.  One set we just noted – election rolls — everyone sees.

The hidden set of books contains the ballot and phantom and address inventory. 

These three ingredients win elections. 

NGOs, leftist entities like homeless shelters, churches, and other groups sponsor registration drives whose registrants are frequently people of no known address who will depart the area shortly after their registration is complete.

Remember ACORN? That made national headlines.  A few people got dinged but the rest changed organizations and went back to work. 

We ran the voter registration rolls against church addresses in a dozen states and found thousands of people registered at a church in which it was clear there was no place to sleep.

The leftist objective is not to build an army of homeless and get them into civics; it is rather to create an inventory of identities who never vote. 

It’s important that they never vote — or if they do, their manager fills in the ballot.  If one of our vagrants shows up at a polling place to cast a vote and is told “…sorry pal, you already voted!” it invites scrutiny.  Bad for the system!

Leftists and Republicans both see the same names on the voter list, but Leftists know which ones are phantoms — long gone from that address yet accumulating a ballot every election.

If the election is close, the leftists can do the right thing and vote them.  It’s a good citizen thing.

Clueless Republicans will not admit this happens even when we shove their noses in it. We met with secretaries of State in several Republican states; they denied it was happening — even though it was their voter roll.  We explain this at http://www.Omega4America.com.

We found 41 registered voters in an upscale hotel and the secretary of state 20 minutes later challenged us to find any phantoms in his state!  As we wrapped up the meeting, we asked ourselves if we were at the same meeting as this guy.

Part of the scam is Republican denial.  It is a critical ingredient, and the leftists work diligently to make it happen.

Two nights ago, while doing an expert report for another Republican electoral disaster, I received an email copying someone from the secretary of state office for a large Midwestern Republican state.  It borders Indiana.

The SoS (Secretary of State designation) guy said he read some of our pieces and was happy none of this was happening in his state.

It was early, the expert witness report could wait. 

I logged onto his state’s voter roll and ran it against known sketchy addresses.  There were people voting from jail.  There were voters in hotels, RV Parks — all addresses from which a person in his state should not be able to vote.

It took me less than four minutes to get back to him (and his pals; there were a bunch of people on the email) and tell him he was delusional — his state’s rolls were just as crappy as everyone else’s.

Republican officeholders have been whipped into submission by the lefty press.

If Republican secretaries of state did a deep clean of their voter roll — including door-to-door canvassing to see just how many of those 16 voters live in that 875 square house, they would look ridiculous for letting it go on for so long.

Leftist groups would hammer them for “voter suppression” because suppressing the votes of the dead, the missing, those who live on vacant lots would get negative press. 

So they deny it!

The preposterous RNC/Federalist/Hannity “advice” that in order to win, Republicans need to up their ground game for early voting gets traction.

The books are cooked

No matter how many votes Republicans bring to the party in early voting, the leftists, NGOs, churches, and homeless shelters will produce more — always enough to win.

Leftists never win by a lot.  They never win on election day — it is always a few days afterward.  Ever wonder why?

The leftists know they cannot win straight up. 

They keep it close and find a broken water main or turn the lights out to stop counting.  Then they open that second set of books and BAM! here are the votes needed to win — by 1% or less.  Don’t be greedy!

So what are we going to do?

Here’s an idea: real time changes all the rules. 

There are great databases out there — for free.  When cross searched at silicon speed, they give a multidimensional view of every address and most people on the voter rolls.

The Fractal team ingested the property tax rolls for Texas counties.  Those rolls showed every address — vacant land, single family, multi-family, business. 

Addresses are accurate — it’s how the county gets its dough.  No vacant lots with people living there.

The cross check of voter rolls against property tax rolls yielded a splendid amount of never-before-seen analysis.

Square footage information for single family homes measures voters per 100 square feet; if there are 12 people in that 875 square foot house, the voter team visits and asks for their vote.  If there are 15, a certificate of occupancy challenge!  Oops.

The system compares the tax rolls to the registration rolls weekly — think 12 million records compared with another 12 million — just for Texas — each week! 

Any suspicious change = flag!

This is economically impossible with current technology — Fractals do it at silicon speed on computers the size of a shoebox.

There may still be two sets of books, but now the good guys can read them both.

LOVING PLANTS WITHOUT KNOWING IT!

What is our present America becoming? Whatever happened to public culture when it was close to citizen care?

Why has fascism come to control our American scheme for freedom of expression….the stuff I was taught by little old ladies teaching public school here in Minnesota in the 1930s into the 1950s.

Why was Shakespeare forced upon me during freshman year high school 72 years ago? Why was I so God Blessed by old lady Mabel Wicker at Central High School in St. Paul, Minnesota even though she was failing me for the first five months….because I couldn’t read. Dyslexia hadn’t been discovered way back then……. and Mabel was failing my failing with red colored Fs on my record card for all of my other teachers of Social Studies, Math, Science, all that more important stuff including Freshman English’s MERCHANT OF VENICE Shakespeare session with 40 kids in the classroom most of us losers when it came to reading.

Over these years of my life I’ve collected nearly two thousand books piled like a library in three rooms of my house….none of them read through, but most of them looked through since those days of my wonderful old maid school teachers.

From first grade on through ninth grade high school, learning was important business…or else we boys would be put forever into the shop world! My eye sight regarding putting things together, however, was worse than my ability to read…yet

I followed World War II’s St. Paul’s newspapers especially on Sunday’s loaded with rotogravure pages on Sunday’s Pioneer Press.

Mother liked picture puzzles for visual exercise…..the 1,000 to 3,000 piece sizes put together over a “sacred” table in the dining room where she had me do puzzles that I could put together during War time. (My favorite was a 3,500 piece BEAUTIFUL picture puzzle of Oregon’s MOUNT HOOD)…..Mother noticed my interest so I got a globe of the world for my 1943 birthday present.

Atlases came next…..to keep me quiet for asking her all those questions about this and that, in and out of the house during and after the WAR….for at age eight I had become total dictator of a half acre Victory Garden in the empty lots across from our alley. I plowed by shovel, I seeded with family aid, but cared for and harvested the full lot from May 1942 to the end of the war in 1945 ALL BY MYSELF! There was no television in our Twin Cities until 1948….Until that time neighbors knew neighbors, women were women, AND GOD WAS GOD…….THE BEST OF TIMES FOR NEIGHBORHOOD LIFE, I BELIEVE!

I taught Social Studies and Russian after my two year jaunt in the army which I actually enjoyed as a real adult…and got married.

Thank you, America of those days. Unlike your garbage dump of today, neighbors had neighbors, children had wonderful moms, no one swore in public, much less television, AND SUNDAY WAS OPEN TO CHURCH BELLS.

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA…..but, how can that happen in our days of Bidens? by Glenn H. Ray, age 88!

“covering Hunter Biden and the Biden family business”

DECEMBER 11, 2022 BY SCOTT JOHNSON at Power Line:

HUNTER FOR SALE AGAIN

The New York Post has developed something of a niche in covering Hunter Biden and the Biden family business. I wonder if the Post will be a target in the offensive maneuvers Biden plans to undertake with a little help from his friends. Hunter is of course not only a piece of work, he is a creator of pieces of work.

Most recently, the Post reports that Hunter has unveiled a new $225,000 painting and other such works at the New York’s Georges Berges Gallery. Berges claims Hunter is one of his artists. He’s that good. Moreover, “[u]nlike last year’s debut of Biden’s artistic oeuvre, which was by invitation only, the new show, ‘Haiku,’ is open to the public and features much stronger works, according to Biden’s gallerist Georges Berges.”

The Post has also published James Bovard’s column on Biden’s return to the art market. Bovard takes a look back at Hunter’s show at the gallery last year:

For his first art show last year, Hunter, a former crack cocaine addict, showcased pieces created “by blowing ink on Japanese Yupo paper through a metal straw.” An art critic at New York magazine characterized Hunter’s work as “generic post zombie formalism illustration.” Another critic scoffed that Hunter’s work was “somewhere between a screen saver and if you just Googled ‘midcentury abstraction’ and mashed up whatever came up.”

Let us now pause over “post zombie formalism,” or “Generic Post Zombie Formalism.” Well done, Jerry Saltz.

We missed the original wave of “Zombie Formalism.” What Saltz dubs “Generic Post Zombie Formalism” sounds like something new under the sun, but Hunter Biden not so much. His persistence on the scene at the White House and elsewhere is at the least worthy of our attention as he continues to ply the Biden family business.

“there were hundreds of thousands of illegal votes counted in the midterm election in Arizona”.

Raiding Arizona

By Clarice Feldman at American Thinker:

A few weeks ago, Julie Kelly tweeted that FBI director Christopher Wray has scheduled a “bureau-wide call with all 36,000+ FBI employees” this month. This is without recent precedent and if true, I hope it’s to announce his resignation. He should, of course, because the agency he heads has been engaged in more lawbreaking and unconstitutional conduct than I can easily document in the space allotted me here. I can imagine the blather he’d spout along the lines of resigning to avoid a witch-hunt which would damage the reputation of the agency. If such a meeting does take place and he does resign, it will be only to minimize the damage to himself from his incompetent management of an agency which under his watch has grown out of control, operated as a partisan secret police of the Democratic party, and rightly earned the distrust of citizens.

The FBI agent in charge of the D.C. office silently resigned just this week. His conduct is illustrative of the Stasi-like operations the FBI under Wray has been engaged in. 

[Steve] D’Antuono was the FBI agent in charge of the investigations into both the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. He came under fire when two of the defendants in the Whitmer case were acquitted. At the time, there were allegations that the FBI had effectively entrapped them into taking part in the plot.

His resignation was preceded a few months earlier by the resignation of another high-level FBI agent, Timothy Thibault, for his role in keeping hidden from the public the Biden family graft and corruption documented and preserved in the Hunter Biden laptop.

Both resignations occurred in anticipation of expected congressional investigations into the operations of an agency that has without question come off the rails.

These resignations are not unique. It has been reported that after an internal review 665 FBI personnel “have resigned or retired to avoid accountability in misconduct probes over the past two decades.”

Whatever the nature of the misconduct involved in those cases, the recent partisan meddling of the agency seems beyond precedent, and more evidence of this is coming as Elon Musk (working with Bari Weiss and Matt Taibbi) sorts through the files of Twitter.

Other bloggers like Andy Ngo are digging in, too.

the head of Twitter’s censorship scheme to shadowban conservative accounts and posts across the platform previously worked as an operative for the FBI and CIA.

According to a now-unavailable LinkedIn profile discovered by journalist Andy Ngo, Jeff Carlton, whose prior work included serving as a federal intelligence officer, became the leading member of Twitter’s Strategic Response Team (SRT) last month. As revealed in a batch of “Twitter Files” released by reporter Bari Weiss on Thursday, SRT is one of the main groups at Twitter tasked with shadowbanning conservative accounts and tweets on the platform

It is already clear from what they have found and reported on that federal agencies, including the FBI and CDC, dictated to willing partisans inside Twitter orders to limit posts and posters who deviated from the Democratic party line and hid things like the Hunter laptop to promote Biden’s candidacy in 2020. While colluding with Federal offices to limit free speech, Twitter officials lied to Congress about its censorship program and turned a blind eye to child sex trafficking, left-wing calls to violence, and anti-Semitism. 

There will certainly be more to come now that Musk has fired James Baker, former disgraced FBI general counsel (criminally investigated but never charged for malfeasance in that position) who as Twitter’s deputy general counsel worked inside Twitter’s headquarters to hide evidence of wrongdoing from his new boss.

As this continues, we have a striking new development regarding the Arizona election. 

Kari Lake just filed a 70-page complaint charging that there were hundreds of thousands of illegal votes counted in the midterm election in Arizona.

The complaint seems well-documented, and, unlike too many post-election complaints, this one makes a credible argument that the fraud was so extensive it provably affected the election results which must, therefore, be overturned.

Among the key points Lake makes are these:

• “59% of Maricopa County precincts had broken tabulators or printers on election day disenfranchising voters, and tens of thousands of illegal mail-in ballots were counted that did not pass signature verification requirements.”

• “The number of illegal votes cast in Arizona’s general election on November 8, 2022, far exceeds the 17,117 vote margin between Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, certified at the official state canvass on December 5, 2022.”

In support of her claim, Lake has detailed witness affidavits from various tabulation and vote centers and whistleblowers from Dominion and Runback Election Services.

A Rasmussen poll indicates that 72% of voters agreed with Lake’s claim that her election was “botched.” Cynics — maybe realists is a better categorization — keep arguing that we can’t vote ourselves out of the present governance mess. This would be a tragic failure if true. If people think we cannot determine our fate through elections, they will stop bothering to vote and such widespread disaffection would not bode well for a continuation of the American experiment in representative government. It looks as if Lake and her team have presented the strongest possible evidence in support of her contention and the judiciary will do a great disservice to all of us if it fails to give serious and credible resolution of her claims.

DEMS CROOKED! GOPers LAZY OR SLY?

December 11, 2022

All I Want for Christmas is Election Integrity

By Robin M. Itzler at American Thinker:

As we start the most magical time of the year, we must still make sure Republican leadership hears us through the mistletoe. Most conservative patriots remain disgusted that McConnell, McCarthy, and McDaniel (now known collectively as McFailure) did nearly nothing following the 2020 Presidential debacle. Their lack of spine and urgency to protest and legally challenge numerous election irregularities emboldened our “friends” across the aisle to be more blatant with election shenanigans. The proof is Arizona’s gubernatorial election.

State and national Republican leadership in Maricopa County, Arizona, made as much noise as cacti on Loop 101.

Western Journal founder Floyd Brown was on Steve Bannon’s The War Room speaking about voting irregularities in Arizona:

On Election Day… We had a complete disaster. Complete malfeasance in Election Day voting and literally thousands of people left the polls. Here in my neighborhood, there was a three-hour wait… Everyone out here knows Kari Lake won the election fair and square but they’re doing everything they can to be able to stop her from taking over as governor… Kari Lake is one of the most talented politicians or spokesmen for the MAGA movement, period. She is an unbelievably gifted communicator… It’s very vital Steve. The truth is if we don’t control Arizona there is no pathway for any Republican, I don’t care if it’s DeSantis or Trump or any other possible candidate. Without Arizona there is no path to winning the next presidency.

As our percolating banana republic goes from “election integrity” to “election thievery,” Republican leadership’s answer is to get on the bandwagon and play the same ballot harvest game. Their thinking is that if blue states like California can take days to count votes, so there’s plenty of time to find boxes filled with ballots for Democrat candidates, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can get dead people to vote, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can win with more votes than there are people in a district, Republicans can do it, too. If Democrats can dump dubious ballots into isolated ballot boxes, Republicans can do it, too.

How about Republican leadership pushing back and insisting on election integrity? An Election Day with in-person voting (exceptions for military and infirmed), voter ID, and paper ballots. Does that sound implausible?

Want implausible? Go back to 1776 and 13 colonies primarily inhabited by farmers and small businessmen forming a ragtag army that, against all odds, fought the behemoth Great Britain military and won.

The only time Republican leadership seriously seeks out conservatives is during an election cycle. Douglas MacKinnon summarized this in his well-titled essay, Republican Establishment to Conservative and Faith-based Voters: ‘Drop Dead’:

Once reelected, and often because of conservative and faith-based voters, those establishment Republicans and their leadership would stab those constituencies in the back as they cozied up to corporate America, lobbying firms, Big Tech, the mainstream media, and any special interests who might fund their campaigns or hire them once they left Congress.

Conservative patriots must make three admissions about overall Republican leadership:

  • They lean liberal, such as their embrace of transgenderism.
  • They don’t want to stand up and fight back.
  • They are content being part of the UniParty.

In 2020, this was the national Republican party leadership:

  • Mitch McConnell—Senate Minority Leader
  • Kevin McCarthy—House Minority Leader
  • Ronna McDaniel—Republican National Committee Chair

Now consider the proposed 2023 national Republican party leadership:

  • Mitch McConnell—Senate Minority Leader
  • Kevin McCarthy—Possibly House Speaker as his election is problematic given major GOP dissension
  • Ronna McDaniel—Republican National Committee Chair

The same people doing the same things. Albert Einstein famously said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

The Senate already voted for Mitch McConnell to be their leader, and shame on all those Republican senators who rewarded the swamp leader with another term.

With a razor-thin majority, House Republicans might have no choice but to elect Kevin McCarthy solely to make sure leadership remains Republican. This is yet another conservative “hold your nose and vote” because McCarthy swims in the same swamp as his Never Trump buddies, including former House Speaker Paul Ryan and pollster Frank Luntz.

That leaves the Republican National Committee chair. If you’re all for promoting non-conservative agendas (such as transgender lifestyles) and refusing to challenge election irregularities, Senator Mitt Romney’s niece McDaniel is your candidate for re-election. But if you want a chairperson with the fortitude and spine to push back at Marxist-leaning Democrat insanity, MyPillows founder Mike Lindell might be the better candidate.

Huh? The pillow guy?

Alternatively, find another bold, competent, and fearless America First champion ready, willing, and able to lead us to victory in 2024 and beyond. There is no time to waste after the less-than-sterling GOP success in 2022, and still git ‘r done bigly.

Well, we heard the same types of negative comments when Donald Trump rode down the escalator and diligently worked on behalf of the American people to Make America Great Again.

Never Trumpers freely toss the word “loser” around while pointing to President Trump. They should point those fingers at RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel:

2018 – GOP lost control of the U.S. House

2020 – GOP lost control of the White House and U.S. Senate.

2022 – GOP fell far short of expectations that she frequently sprouted during the campaign.

South Dakota’s Republican Governor Kristi Noem, speaking on Fox News in late November, said about McDaniel, “I don’t know if a party can continue to lose like we have and keep their jobs.”

What now?

Conservative patriots must get involved. Whatever you can do, do it. One person makes phone calls and sends emails, while another shows up at school board, city council, and supervisor meetings to give public comment. One person writes a donation, while another writes letters to the editor or CEOs. One person helps local candidates improve their name recognition, while another helps conservative college students grow awareness on campus. Every America First conservative can do something!

As the special Christmas season comes upon us in all its glory, what ails our magnificent republic will sadly still be here at the start of 2023. For the next few weeks, let’s celebrate the reason for the season (for Christians, the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ, and for Jews, the miracle of Hanukkah) and commit that, in the New Year, we will insist that Republican leadership advance conservative Judeo-Christian values or step aside for those who are willing to Make America Great Again…again.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
