Daily Broadside | Are Voters Really That Stupid or Are Our Elections That Corrupt?

Daily Verse | Acts 26:28
Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”

Wednesday’s Reading: Acts 27-28

Happy Tuesday my friends. I’m back from my travels and eager to write.

I left the day after Election Day and have been watching the returns since.

I’m gobsmacked.

I had predicted “a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona.” At the time I was feeling rather optimistic about the red wave.

But I voted and all I got was this lousy blue-stained t-shirt.

Fetterman. Really?

Are the people of Pennsylvania really that stupid? How married to ideology do you have to be to vote for a 53-year-old hoodie dude who lives with his parents, has never held a real job, and had a stroke six months ago rendering him unable to adequately process normal conversation?

Fetterman beat a politically moderate Muslim, the son of Turkish émigrés, a celebrity doctor and successful television host, by almost four percentage points. Diversity, anyone? 2,710,027 people voted for Fetterman while 2,474,013 voted for Oz, a difference of 236,014 votes.

The vote seems legitimate, but does not seem logical. If legitimate, how do you explain the votes of those supporting Fetterman? It boggles the mind to think that people actually voted for him. Logically, his win makes more sense to me if the vote was fraudulent, yet … was it?

Democrats vent their fury at Trump and his ultra-mega-MAGA supporters, but then elect a screwball like Fetterman (and his weird uncle, Brandon). The contempt for them is richly deserved.

Same in Arizona. As I’m writing this on Monday night, several outlets are announcing that Katie Hobbs has beaten Trump-endorsed Kari Lake in the race for governor. Again, it makes no sense. Hobbs hid herself, refused to debate Kari Lake, and polls showed her trailing Lake (although not by much).

And how conveeenient that Hobbs, as the current Secretary of State of Arizona, oversaw the election that determined whether she became the next governor. And how even more conveeenient that counting the votes took a week!

Our election system is broken. Very broken.

Here’s Emerald Robinson:

Welcome to the Banana Republic of Biden — where the voting machines break down and the tabulators fail and the paper runs out on Election Day!

The rigging was so bad, so obvious, so corrupt that even the corporate media was forced to admit that electronic voting machines didn’t work across America. That was a “conspiracy theory” — you might recall — just the day before.

But — lo and behold ! — the machines were all “down” in Mercer County, New Jersey. They were full of “mishaps” in Harris County, Texas and in Chesterfield County, Virginia and in Bell County, Texas and in Suffolk County, New York. At least 20% of all the machines were “not working” throughout Maricopa County, Arizona. They “ran out of paper” in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. In fact, “officials say that roughly 44 polling locations in Luzerne County ran out of paper to print ballots.”

Of course, it’s completely normal on Election Day for 44 polling places to run out of paper simultaneously. Don’t start fueling conspiracy theories by noticing that such a shortage must be deliberate!

And here she is again:

Countless people have called in the last few days to ask me if Kari Lake or Blake Masters or Adam Laxalt or Lauren Boebert— and all the rest of the midterm candidates in “stalled” races— will ultimately prevail.

My answer is always the same: no. No, I don’t think they’re going to prevail. They’re going to lose. In fact, they’re being cheated out of their victories right now.

My rule of thumb is simple: if you’re a Trump-aligned Republican and your election results were not released within 24 hours of Election Day, then you’re toast.

The entire point of “slow-rolling” vote-counting is that it gives the cheaters the necessary time to count how many ballots they need to beat the Republican candidate and then to manufacture those ballots — or to disappear the necessary number of GOP ballots by “abjudication.”

Didn’t the GOP learn any of these lessons from the 2020 election? Of course not.

I encourage you to read both of her blog posts (and subscribe to her Substack).

Via No Pasaran, Fox News’s Jesse Watters adds:

Elections used to be decided on election night. “American Idol” can handle millions of votes in a commercial break, but it takes Arizona, Nevada a week? None of it makes sense because they don’t want the system to make sense. The longer some of these races drag out for, the better it is for Democrats because they’ve created a system centered around ballots, not votes. It’s not about winning your vote anymore. It’s not about persuading you. It’s about flooding the state with as many ballots as possible and getting them filled out Democrat.

Stalin reportedly said, “I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” Right. It’s not the vote that counts; it’s who counts the votes.

We are told that there is no evidence of any fraud whatsoever in 2020 and if we believe there was we’re conspiracy nuts and a dangerous threat to democracy. Yeah, well, I’m convinced more than ever that there is widespread fraud in our elections and if we don’t figure out how to stop it we’re goners.

Daily Broadside | Everything is Looking Good for the Mid-Terms

Daily Verse | Acts 7:57
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him.

Monday’s Reading: Acts 8-9

A couple of times this year, I’ve cautiously said that if the polls are accurate, the Democrats will get blitzed by not just a red wave, but by a crimson tsunami (see here, here and here).

In fact, last week I wrote, “A week from today will either be a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona. For now, I’m feeling optimistic that we will see a flood of Republican wins washing away Democrats for at least a generation.”

I’ve seen nothing to dissuade me from that optimism, but I can’t be entirely sure of what seems to be a building tidal wave until the last votes are counted. I won’t take anything for granted at this point because we got punched in the face over the last six years by a furious and exposed bureaucracy which had been comfortably hidden behind the theatre of Washington’s historical architecture, the costumes of crisp suits, and the polite script of politicians. We had innocently trusted that, with some few exceptions, the decorum and appearance of our political leaders meant the machinations of government were still turning as intended by our Founders.

Now that we know the truth, we cannot unknow and nothing can ever be the same again. Even if we’re able to eliminate the anti-American powers that exist in the federal government, we really cannot go bakc to the way we thought it was before. There needs to be a dismantling of the current federal leviathan and a rebuilding on a much smaller scale, the way our Founders envisioned.

That means that our elections are now existential battles against not just an extremist political party, but against the unelected bureaucrats and other evil actors who want to consolidate power and rule over the American people by forcing us into conformity with their plans.

Anyway—back to the elections. Such illustrious publications as The New Yorker are bracing for a “bloodbath” for the Democrats.

The consensus among a number of G.O.P. pollsters and operatives I spoke to this week is that in the Senate races that are thought to be competitive, Republican candidates are heading for a clean sweep: Mehmet Oz will beat John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, and not just by a point or two; Adam Laxalt looks pretty certain to defeat the incumbent Democratic senator Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada; even less regarded candidates such as Blake Masters in Arizona will be carried into office by a predicted wave. “He won’t deserve it, but I think at this point he falls into a Senate seat,” one Republican strategist told me. To these Republican insiders, certain high-profile races in which G.O.P. candidates were already favored now look like potential blowouts—Kari Lake’s campaign for governor in Arizona, J. D. Vance’s for Senate in Ohio. And some races that seemed out of reach, such as the Senate campaign, in New Hampshire, of the election denier Don Bolduc, now look like possible wins. The word that kept coming up in these conversations was “bloodbath.”

Likewise, the man who predicted Brexit and Trump’s victory in 2016 is talking about a “Red Tsunami.”

Here’s what the polls are showing.

Keep an eye on the Georgia Senate race between Walker and Warnock. That could be a bellwether for the rest of the country. GA reports Eastern Standard Time.

JD Vance has a 10-POINT LEAD on Tim Ryan. Again, polls nearly always undercount Republicans, so this poll, if it holds up, bodes well for Vance (and Ohio).

The RCP Generic Congressional Vote has Republicans up by +2.5 points.

Over at 270 To Win: “A consensus outlook for the 2022 House elections based on the current ratings of these seven forecasters. Only districts rated safe by six of them are shown in the darkest shade. You can also view these ratings as a table.”

Everything looks good. Great, even.

But don’t get complacent and don’t get cocky.

These polls tell us what a limited number of people say they will do. To make it a reality, we need every voter to go to the polls and exercise their right to vote. We’ve been waiting for tomorrow since the despicable man currently occupying the White House was wrongly sworn in, in January 2021. It’s time to severely limit the damage he can do with the remainder of his term.

All I can say is, get out and vote.

Daily Broadside | Lurch Fetterman’s Lump Losing to Dr. Oz in PA Race

Daily Verse | John 11:48
“If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”

Tuesday’s Reading: John 13-14

It’s November and one week to Go Time. A week from today will either be a red wave of tsunami-sized proportions or a trickle of red leaking through an overflowing toilet in Arizona. For now, I’m feeling optimistic that we will see a flood of Republican wins washing away Democrats for at least a generation.

There’s a lot going on in these last days of campaigning. Here in Illinois, which always votes Democrat because of Chicago and Springfield, Republican Darren Bailey is 17 points down to Democrat incumbent Gov. Pritzker according to a Civiqs poll (Oct. 24) listed at FiveThirtyEight.com. Over at 270toWin.com Bailey is down by an average of almost 16 percent. He’s unlikely to pull off an upset.

However, things are looking brighter in other races across the U.S.

One of the most high-profile races features Dem Lt. Governor John Fetterman, who is now behind in his Senate race with Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, who surged to the front after the Disastrous Debate Debacle featuring Fetterman’s mental deterioration after his stroke in May. That the media and the Dems (pretty sure I just repeated myself) have conspired to hide his mental state from voters and having repeatedly assured us that he was just fine, is not playing well with undecided voters.

Four polls conducted since the day of the one and only U.S. Senate debate in Pennsylvania have showed Dr. Mehmet Oz leading John Fetterman by two or three points, still within the margin of error, but suggesting Republicans are coming home to their party’s nominee while undecided voters are breaking for Oz over Fetterman. 

Just a word about Fetterman and the Dems hiding his condition. I have sympathy for Fetterman and sincerely hope he heals, physically. But I have zero compunction about noticing his condition and asking questions.

In the world of progressive utopia, we’re not supposed to notice, you know. We’re supposed to be passive and simply clap for Anyone Doing Anything. Noticing Fetterman’s mental difficulties is “ableist” according to Mrs. Fetterman and his performance during the debate should be lauded just because Fetterman and his Lump showed up.

He’d never get my vote anyway because of his hoodie-wearing, blue-collar progressive, anti-freedom ideology. Practically speaking, however, if Fetterman has an auditory processing disorder and can’t function even with compensation such as “closed captioning monitors to follow both the moderator questions and Oz’s remarks” (which, by the way, Oz didn’t have to agree to, yet did, thereby not being “ableist”) — what does that mean for processing debates at the highest levels of government?

I’ll tell you what it means: he can’t and won’t be able to process and will simply be a rubber stamp for the Democrats, albeit a very large rubber stamp. He won’t be able to think independently — but truthfully, he wouldn’t anyway.

All this to say, so called “journalists” and the Democrat party lied about his condition right up until they couldn’t hide it anymore. If anyone is “ableist,” it’s these monsters who enable a mentally deficient half-wit to run for national office.

I’m not the only one who thinks Fetterman isn’t fit for high office. Talk to the centrist Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, one of PA’s largest newspapers, which just endorsed Oz.

“We believe Mr. Oz is the better bet for Pennsylvania,” the board wrote, before writing that Fetterman’s health stemming from the stroke he suffered earlier this year was not an issue for them.

We’RE NOt aBLeIST!

“His lack of transparency, however, in refusing to release his medical records is troubling. It suggests an impulse to conceal and a mistrust of the people. All candidates for a major elected office should release their medical records, as did Mr. Oz. If you want privacy, don’t run for public office,” it added.

[…]

The board wrote that Fetterman’s “life experience and maturity” were also concerns because he “lived off his family’s money for much of his life,” and had “little experience in holding real jobs or facing the problems of working people.”

LOL … a lazy do-nothing wants to continue being a slacker, just with more money and prestige.

It also cited Fetterman’s lack of apology over in an incident in which he pulled a shotgun on an unarmed Black jogger after hearing gunshots, and his flip-flop on supporting fracking.

HOw daRE yOu, rAciST!

“Mr. Oz is extraordinarily wealthy, but achieved his worldwide fame and success largely through his own talent and determination,” the board wrote. “Unlike most Republican politicians, candidate Oz spent a lot of time in poor urban neighborhoods, talking to people and, most important, listening and learning.”

Bottom line is that Dr. Oz is up 3 points and holding. Still within the margin of error, but the momentum has shifted to him. I suspect that we’ll see him win that race.

Daily Broadside | A former presidential candidate says “goodbye” to the Democrats

Daily Verse | Matthew 28:12-13
When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.'”

Wednesday’s Reading: Mark 1-3

Hump Day again and also my ↯¡!#th birthday, formerly known as Columbus Day. Yeah, I’m a Libra, apparently known for being funny, intelligent, artistic, flirtatious and, um … not sure about this … indecisive.

Should I have included that last one?

Someone who is definitely not being indecisive is former Democratic Hawaii Congresswoman and presidential candidate, Tulsi Gabbard. Now former Democrat.

aN OcTObEr sUPriSE!

A couple of things about this. First, I am not a friend of the Demolition Demonrat DemoKKKrat Democrat Party. There is no making peace with them in their current form. They are a force for evil in this country and world, and I stand opposed to them with everything in me.

I know that comes as a surprise to many of you.

But I admired Tulsi Gabbard as a presidential candidate on the other side of the aisle. I didn’t agree with everything she stood for, but she was articulate, rational, independent and, most of all, she was reasonable. She served in the military and seems to have some level of patriotic spirit in her political make up. In other words, she’s someone I could see having a civil conversation with about national policy.

I remember thinking that she was more conservative in her politics than the rest of the party she belonged to, which makes her an extremist in today’s progressive world. Just listen to her and imagine she’s a Republican (which she is not as of this writing).

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.”

“I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite. I’m calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party,” Gabbard added. “If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

There’s literally nothing in there that I can’t agree with, including her call for independent-minded Democrats to leave the Democrat party. Please, yes, leave the party of anti-American Marxists.

And that’s the other thing about this. Even one of the Democrat’s own presidential candidates has found that the Democrats are a corrupt and extremist group. Plus she’s a woman of color who opposes anti-white racism and apparently believes in God!

I take this as just one more bit of evidence that the Leftist Asses (hey, I didn’t pick their party symbol) are scaring away the more moderate members of their party, including blacks and Hispanics. In fact, the latest polling shows Brandon is underwater on every one of the top ten issues voters are most concerned about.

President Joe Biden, who promised a more competent and unifying administration, is failing to reach at least 50% approval on any of the nation’s top 10 issues.

Overall, Biden is underwater like his ratings-challenged predecessor. In the latest Ipsos survey, 40% approve of the job Biden is doing as president, while 53% disapprove.

But his failure really stands out in how the public views how he is doing on key issues, including the economy and crime.

The issue he still gets the best grade on is handling COVID-19, but that is now below 50%, at 47%.

Note that they can’t help referring to president Donald J. Trump as though that somehow makes Brandon’s failings okay. Trump had the entire Deep State, MSM, social media, military and even his own children undermining him at every turn, while Brandon has every one of those institutions, plus his addict son, Hunter and his wife Dr. Jill Biden, EdD., covering for him and showing no interest in his morally corrupt character or his compromised mental health or his unconstitutional use of power.

So it’s even, guys, okay?

Only 33% of Americans “approve” of the way he’s handling immigration and the economy. That 33% is all of the illegal aliens included in the survey.

C’mon man!

The midterms will be a referendum on Biden’s presidency. I can’t wait until the Democrats get slaughtered (figuratively speaking!) at the polls on November 8.

That is if they don’t call for martial law because we’re exchanging nukes with Putin.
