When 'Unity' Means 'Shut the Hell Up'

On Saturday evening, presidential frontrunner Joe Biden -- who doesn't actually become president-elect until vote counts are certified -- gave a preliminary victory address. In that address, he spoke of his mandate to govern: a mandate, he said, that extended to marshalling the "forces of decency ... fairness ... science ... hope." Which is a pretty vague mandate, as it turns out.

But there was another overarching mandate Biden expressed: a mandate to come together, to unify as Americans. "To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy," Biden said. "We are not enemies. We are Americans."

All of that is nice. Who wouldn't like a country in which we could enjoy cultural events together without being lectured about the alleged evils of the country, in which we could attend family events without being castigated as bigots, in which we could disagree and still enjoy one another? Who wouldn't like an America in which our neighbors no longer see us as cancel-culture targets, in which we no longer have to fear our compatriots rioting and looting over supposed systemic injustices, in which our social interactions are not limited by our voter registration?

But.

Americans are right to have some rather serious trust issues with calls for unity in our polarized time. After all, former President Barack Obama pledged American reunification right up until he began treating tea partyers as unspeakable threats and political opponents as crypto-racists. Everything was hopey and changey right up until the time ... it wasn't.

So, in order to earn our trust, Joe Biden would have to call his own side out for raising the temperature. And he has steadfastly refused to do so. He hasn't called out Black Lives Matter for the suggestion that America is systemically racist; he has cheered it on. He hasn't condemned antifa; he has deemed it a philosophy rather than a dangerous movement. And he certainly hasn't said a word about the continuing attacks on Trump supporters.

We will wait in vain for Biden to chide former first lady Michelle Obama for declaring that 70 million Americans "voted for the status quo, even when it meant supporting lies, hate, chaos, and division." Our bones will likely bleach before Biden tells Hillary Clinton that Trump supporters aren't deplorables.

No, "unity" in the Biden formulation isn't a recognition of what we have in common; it's a demand that we silence ourselves in order to mirror Biden's priorities. Unity, you see, can be achieved one of two ways: through recognition of the other, through a determination to understand those who think differently than we do; or through ideological domination. It's rather obvious which pathway Democrats will choose. After all, social ostracization is one of their most powerful tools. Why disarm now?

Americans can only come together when we share a common philosophy, history and culture. Democrats have spent years attempting to tear away those commonalities in favor of coalitional interest-group politics. They've declared American philosophy racist from inception; they've declared American history a litany of brutalities; they've declared American culture bigotry embodied. Now they want unity -- the unity of absolute victory.

Ironically, it's that very desire -- the desire for monolithic control -- that will be their undoing. Unless Biden is serious about unity -- unless he's willing to cross the aisle and recognize the humanity of those with whom he disagrees, and to call out those on his own side who won't -- Biden's term is likely to be contentious, polarizing and ultimately unsuccessful.

As Recounts and Court Cases Mount 70 Percent of Republicans Have Concluded the Election Was Fraudulent

A new poll by Politico/Morning Consult finds that 70% of Republicans do not believe the election held last week was “free and fair.”

After the presidential race was called for Democratic candidate Joe Biden, Republicans’ trust in the election system plummeted, while Democrats’ trust soared, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Multiple new organizations announced Biden as the election winner on Saturday after four days of counting in several swing states. Following the news, 70 percent of Republicans now say they don’t believe the 2020 election was free and fair, a stark rise from the 35 percent of GOP voters who held similar beliefs before the election. Meanwhile, trust in the election system grew for Democrats, many who took to the streets to celebrate Biden’s victory on Saturday. Ninety percent of Democrats now say the election was free and fair, up from 52 percent before Nov. 3 who thought it would be.

Among Republicans who believed that the election wasn’t free and fair, 78 percent believed that mail-in voting led to widespread voter fraud and 72 percent believed that ballots were tampered with — both claims that have made a constant appearance on the president’s Twitter thread. Like President Donald Trump, a majority of the people that thought the election was unfair, 84 percent, said it benefited Biden.

The article frames the lack of trust as being caused by President Trump.”

The skepticism has particularly been fueled by the Trump campaign, which has filed more than half a dozen lawsuits in states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan and Georgia since Election Day. Two days after the race was called for Biden, Trump continues to tweet out that “Nevada is turning out to be a cesspool of Fake Votes” and “Pennsylvania prevented us from watching much of the Ballot count.”

They say this because they think you are stupid and you aren’t smart enough to see what’s going on and coming to a logical conclusion. In fact, they are asking you to view the goings-on and coming to the exact opposite conclusion that the State Department or professional election observers would come to should they be confronted with the same facts and observations. And unless they can paint this finding as a function of Trump’s ability to be a Svengali to his followers, the implications are grim.

 Yikes! State Department Precedent Qualifies This 2020 Election as “Rigged”

 Our Election Process Looks at Least as Fraudulent as That of Gabon and Ukraine and There Is No Reason to Trust the Results

 This is a sign that things are not going how the Democrats and their fluffers in the media had predicted. Instead of laying down and rolling over, as the evidence mounts that fraud was blatant and widespread (see my take on that here This Isn’t Just the Theft of an Election, This Is a Message to All of Us), anger is growing. If President Trump does not concede, and I do not think that he should (see President Trump Must Never Concede This Election to Joe Biden), this supermajority of Republicans presents a huge challenge to the Democrats when they are forced to face the voters again in 2022.

Supporters of President Trump preparing to rally together in D.C. this weekend

 

OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 10:01 AM PT – Wednesday, November 11, 2020

Supporters of President Trump are meeting in the nation’s capitol this weekend as the Trump campaign continues to wage a legal battle over claims of alleged voter fraud in the 2020 elections.

Earlier this week, several conservative groups announced the planned demonstrations, which will take place in Washington, D.C. this coming Saturday.

The first event, dubbed the ‘Million MAGA March,’ will bring together the thousands of supporters of President Trump in a massive show of force for the Republican Party.

 

 The second rally is called ‘Stop the Steal’ and aims at exposing and denouncing voter fraud allegations in Democrat-controlled states. This follows as other similar ‘Stop the Steal’ rallies that have taken place around the country over the last week.

 

 

In Michigan, one supporter of the President urged the Commander-in-Chief to continue his lawsuits that are fighting for the integrity of the nation’s election.

“All of the legal ballots have not been counted, there’s been multiple cases of voter fraud happening throughout the entire state of Michigan,” said supporter Michelle Gregoire. “And I encourage President Trump to continue his lawsuits and, you know, fight to stop the stealing of this election.”

In advertisements shared on social media, the President’s supporters are urging Americans to stand against the corrupt left who are attempting to steal the election.

 

 

In a press conference on Tuesday, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser spoke about the upcoming rallies. She said local authorities will help assist rally-goers express their First Amendment rights.

“We continue to follow those activities and be prepared for those activities,” she stated. “Our police chief will have a similar posture this weekend as he did last week and we will be there to support peaceful exercise of First Amendment demonstrations.”

Both rallies will kick-off around noon and start at Freedom Plaza with GOP supporters eager to have their voices heard for the President.

BREAKING: ‘Audit,’ ‘Full Hand Recount’ Ordered In Georgia

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday morning that there will be an audit and full hand recount of votes in the state for the 2020 presidential election.

Currently, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in the Peach State by about 14,000 votes.

 “Georgia’s secretary of state has announced a full hand recount of the presidential race; Biden leads by about 14,000,” reported Zeke Miller, citing The Associated Press.

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's secretary of state has announced a full hand recount of the presidential race; Biden leads by about 14,000.

— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) November 11, 2020

 

“This will help build confidence. It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvas all at once,” Raffensperger said at the press conference, according to CBS News. “It will be a heavy lift.”

Decision Desk HQ called Alaska for Trump earlier on Wednesday morning, awarding him the state’s three electoral votes. And on Tuesday, the outlet called North Carolina for the president, as well, earning POTUS another 15 electoral votes.

In Arizona, where there are 11 electoral votes to be collected, tens of thousands of votes are still being counted. Biden currently amassed a roughly 12,800 vote lead.

Trump has yet to concede the election, as lawsuits pend in multiple states over alleged voter irregularities and potential fraud, and ballots are still to be counted, or recounted.

Still, major media outlets, such as Fox News, ABC News, CNN, NBC News, and The Associated Press, declared Biden the winner of the 2020 election over the weekend.

Trump issued the following statement, Saturday:

"We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process.  Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access.

So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands."

Veteran's Day

Poem posted by Rob Roy

 
Veteran's Day 

 

JUST A COMMON SOLDIER
(A Soldier Died Today)

by A. Lawrence Vaincourt (1987)

He was getting old and paunchy
And his hair was falling fast,
And he sat around the Legion,
Telling stories of the past.

Of a war that he once fought in
And the deeds that he had done,
In his exploits with his buddies;
They were heroes, every one.

And 'tho sometimes to his neighbors
His tales became a joke,
All his buddies listened quietly
For they knew where of he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer,
For ol' Joe has passed away,
And the world's a little poorer
For a Veteran died today.

He won't be mourned by many,
Just his children and his wife.
For he lived an ordinary,
Very quiet sort of life.

He held a job and raised a family,
Going quietly on his way;
And the world won't note his passing,
'Tho a Veteran died today.

When politicians leave this earth,
Their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing,
And proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell of their life stories
From the time that they were young,
But the passing of a Veteran
Goes unnoticed, and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution
To the welfare of our land,
Some jerk who breaks his promise
And cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow
Who in times of war and strife,
Goes off to serve his country
And offers up his life?

The politician's stipend
And the style in which he lives,
Are often disproportionate,
To the service that he gives.

While the ordinary Veteran,
Who offered up his all,
Is paid off with a medal
And perhaps a pension, small.

It is not the politicians
With their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom
That our country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger,
With your enemies at hand,
Would you really want some cop-out,
With his ever-waffling stand?

Or would you want a Veteran
His home, his country, his kin,
Just a common Veteran,
Who would fight until the end.

He was just a common Veteran,
And his ranks are growing thin,
But his presence should remind us
We may need his likes again.

For when countries are in conflict,
We find the Veteran's part,
Is to clean up all the troubles
That the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor
While he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage
At the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline
In the paper that might say:
"OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING,
A VETERAN DIED TODAY."

President Trump visits Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day observance

 

 

Article by Mark Andrew Dwyer in The American Thinker

 

Free Elections That Weren't

 The 2020 presidential elections were not entirely free due to a large-scale participation, facilitated by the adoption of mail-in voting in the aftermath the coronavirus pandemic, of persuadable voters who would either refrain from in-person voting if it were the only venue allowed, or would have voted differently if their choices weren't influenced by biased or false information that they were fed by social and mass media as well as educational institutions. As a result, it was the media and educational institutions, and not the American electorate alone, who co-decided the 2020 presidential elections. This conclusion demonstrates irrationality and harmfulness of the popular mantra that any increase of voter turnout regardless of the level of rationality and interest of the extra voters is necessarily beneficial for democracy and the society that professes it.

The elections comprise of three major components: the voting, the counting of the votes, including collection of the votes and certification of the results, and the means of information access and control on all issues pertaining to the subject or subjects of the elections.

Elections are free if each eligible individual voter can freely decide, without fear of retribution, whether to vote or not and, if he/she decides to vote, whom or what to vote for. These presume that each eligible individual voter is given an unobstructed access to publicly available information on all issues pertaining to the subject or subjects of the elections. Of course, the elections' freedom so outlined does not guarantee their fairness or honesty as the counting of the votes may or may not preserve their integrity. Nevertheless, without the said freedom it is hard to deem any elections to be honest or fair. In this article, I will focus on such freedom and socially undesirable consequences of a lack thereof.

Persuadable voters and the harvesting of their votes

In the past, eligible individual voters who did not feel strong enough about who should win the election did often refrain from voting. This should be considered an exercise of their right to decide whether to vote or to abstain. It tended to have a significant beneficial impact on the rationality of the elections' outcomes as it decreased the randomness of individual voting choices by delegating the choices to the segment of eligible voters who were more likely to be well-informed and genuinely willing to elect the candidate who was objectively the best for them and for the country.

Clearly, the uninterested and uninformed (or simply: undecided) voters were more likely to be persuaded whom should they vote for, than those interested in electing the best candidate and possessing enough information to make a rational choice.

I will refer to the former ones as the persuadable voters.

Up until emergence of practical and effective methods of mass persuasion, relatively few individuals and groups of influence had a good reason to push for an increased participation of undecided voters in elections. There was no clear benefit for these individuals and groups resulting from such an increase.

The situation today is different. The persuadable voters can be identified with the state-of-the-art methods of Big Data, predictive analytics, etc. These voters can be persuaded en masse with direct advertising as well as with overwhelming amount of biased samples of reality, coordinated and aggressive advertising via social and mass media, and politically biased education in schools and colleges, to vote according to preferences of the persuaders. Their votes may be then harvested in the case they are not motivated enough to actually go out and vote. But still a large number of the persuadable voters are less likely than those with firm and strong opinions to cast their votes as in many cases harvesting may be impractical or infeasible. That would leave a significant portion of gain on investment by the persuaders unrealized.

The mail-in voting facilitates full realization of the said investment. Therefore, it must surprise no one that the most dedicated and serious persuaders were aggressively advocating adoption of mail-in voting as it would significantly increase the number of votes cast for the candidate they were promoting.

Because young voters, still in their formative age, are more likely than more mature voters to be persuadable, the persuaders have been advocating to lower the minimum voting age below 18 years. If such a decrease is legislated in America, then it will significantly increase participation of persuadable voters whose votes can be harvested or collected, say, via mail-in voting or campus drop-off boxes, for the benefit of the persuaders who often have a significant impact on the direction of political bias in educational institutions.

Effective persuasion vs. electoral freedom

Clearly, the voters who were indoctrinated or deceived into believing in false theses and voted based on such false beliefs were not entirely free because they were likely misinterpreting the consequences of their choices. Therefore, any form of mass propaganda, censorship, or indoctrination, whether carried on by private or public entities, decreases the degree of electoral freedom. Also, the voters who would opt to not vote if left alone but ended up casting their votes through mail-in vote, harvesters, or campus drop-off boxes, were partially deprived of their right to freely decide whether to vote or to abstain. Therefore, elections incorporating unsolicited "encouragements" to vote tend decrease the degree of electoral freedom and cannot be deemed entirely free elections. The most extreme infringement of the said freedom would be an imposition of a duty to vote, a legal obligation that has been instituted in some countries but - fortunately - not in the U.S. For it is beneficial to free society if those who are undecided, or not informed enough, or simply don't care, have a freedom to not vote.

Appropriate legislation may protect voters' right to decide whether to vote or to abstain. However, legislating against misinformation or deception appears difficult, if at all possible.

First, it would most likely violate First Amendment rights of the persuaders. Even if narrowly drafted to criminalize falsification (misinformation being a subcategory of), it must fall short of enacting objectively correct and computationally feasible criterion of truth simply because it has been proved that such a criterion does not exist. Also, we need to remember that several popular movements that led to abolition of non-transparent governments that were detrimental to the governed, including the American Revolution, were partially based on false premises as a result of governmental secrecy that made impossible for the governed to know all relevant truth before the abolition took place. Thus legislating against false information is likely to have a detrimental effect on the viability of dissent.

Therefore, it appears appropriate to leave it mostly to the individuals to decide which theses they accept as true and which they don't, even though it leaves room for possible deception and misinformation. However, in the light of the foregoing observations, extending Constitutional protection to groups and organizations for their systemic informational bias, propaganda, and censorship has no clear benefits to the society as it is likely to facilitate a decrease of the electoral freedom.

Detriments of decrease of degree of electoral freedom

The above-mentioned methods of a decrease of the electoral freedom, when implemented, turn a large number of undecided but persuadable eligible voters who, if left alone, would likely abstain from voting into actual voters who make their choices based on preferences of the persuaders rather then their own, or make random and irrational choices due to their lack of sufficient information of their false believes. Such a decrease clearly diminishes the chances that they elect the best candidate for themselves and the country. It also shifts, even if partially so, the decision who gets elected from the electorate to the persuaders thus decreasing the elect's accountability to the electorate.

The detrimental ramification of the above effects on the democracy and the society that professes it are obvious.

Persuadable voters can be identified and persuaded en masse with existing advanced methods of (mostly digital) marketing and advertising. However, they are less likely than those with firm and strong opinions to cast their votes. Vote harvesting is an effective and practical means to increase participation of such persuadable voters. Mail-in voting further increases participation of such persuadable voters as does installation of voting places in schools and colleges. When applied together, they have potential of swaying elections in favor of the candidate preferred by the persuaders even if the election contests are not close. Such an outcome has an obvious detrimental effect on fairness of the elections and it disenfranchises, even if partially so, the American electorate. It makes the government less accountable to the governed which in itself is harmful to the American society.

Does Anyone Care about the Truth Anymore?

Ferreting out political and historical truth from the welter of partisan voices and official disinformation, so far as this is possible, is no easy task. Not many of us are capable or desirous of doing so. This is perhaps the major debit in a prosperous democratic polity, many of whose citizens, like pampered children, have grown spoiled and lazy.

Common sense is needed, along with moral fortitude and the willingness to dig for documentary sources and artifacts that are not easily falsified. One cannot allow the media to do one’s homework for one but must instead subject what one is told to believe to hard scrutiny and diligent research. This process is not only an epistemic necessity but also a moral demand. As C2C editor Patrick Keeney writes, “we can only arrive at what we ought to do by appeals to moral reasoning.” We might say that thoughtfulness is an aspect of moral character.

In the political world especially, one must be skeptical of the left and its popular sobriquet, socialism. For socialism is all about radical egalitarianism, the expansion of welfare dependency, the destruction of the nuclear family and the establishment of single-party rule. The study of history and the current geopolitical theater is dispositive in this regard.

Opponents of the Left are regularly denounced as belonging to the “far right.” But what is called the “far right” in the current political environment is a will o’ the wisp, a false construct serving the interests of the demagogic impulse associated with the left, for there is no temporizing with the left’s totalitarian basis no matter how moderate it may appear in some of its presumably acceptable forms.

What is condemned as the “far right” is actually responsible conservatism struggling to preserve the philosophy and tradition of “classical liberalism” associated with resonant names like John Locke, Edmund Burke, Matthew Arnold, John Stuart Mill and Benjamin Disraeli, and today with Richard Weaver, James Burnham, Robert Bork, Russell Kirk and Roger Scruton.

For those on the “soft left,” desire is the nub of the issue -- the appetite for outcomes in the absence of reasoned analysis and knowledge of history, justified by a faulty reading of the world. One recalls the philosophical debate that raged for centuries between Duns Scotus and his followers on the one side and the school of Saint Thomas Aquinas on the other. (The word “dunce” derives from “Duns.”) Scotus postulated that the will conditions the reason, in other words, desire seeks its goal first and the mind subsequently proceeds to vindicate its decision. Aquinas contended that reason commands the will, that is, the faculty of purified intellect posits the good, and desire afterwards strives to achieve it. The general run of leftists and liberals are, on this interpretation, earnest neo-Scotists, wanting something very badly -- feminist hegemony, climate purity, socialist equity, sexual license, abortion on demand -- and then abusing their mental powers to defend their error.

For the “hard left,” however, affective attitudes are somewhat different. Desire is not a function of the will to believe -- since many inhabitants of that malignant political universe are fully aware of their corruption and duplicity, and like criminal psychopaths glorify it -- but, quite bluntly, of the will to power, as we have seen in the fraudulent election of 2020.

The Democrat party is by any honest assessment no longer a political party but a criminal organization intent on dominating, suppressing and extorting an entire nation. It has accepted a Marxist philosophy and enforced it by fascist means, deriving theory and practice from the Communists and the Nazis, becoming, in effect, the NaziCom Party of the United States. And in collaboration with the nation’s “elites” -- academics, media, the technocrats, the Hollywood syndrome, corporate shills, and affluent outriders -- the NaziComs seem poised to succeed in imposing their destructive agenda.

One thinks of Abraham’s argument with God in Genesis 18. Must the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah be utterly destroyed for their wickedness? “Wilt thou destroy the righteous with the wicked?” Abraham asks the Lord, who agrees to spare the “twin cities” if only ten righteous men could be found. Not even ten could be found and the cities were consumed in fire and brimstone. Though the analogy does not hold point for point, it is nevertheless instructive. In America there are millions upon millions of good and decent people -- people who have not grown slack and indolent and ungrateful -- and it seems a mortifying shame that the they should be politically, socially and economically destroyed by some of the most contemptible people on the face of the planet.

Obama boasted that he would “radically transform” the United States, and the left is determined to execute his mandate, transforming the country into a modern iteration of Sodom and Gomorrah. Any fair and reasonable analysis of the November 3 debacle tells us without the slightest doubt that the electoral process was a sordid and unscrupulous affair carried out by the Democrats and their myrmidons -- that is, by the institutional (or “hard”) left with the complicity of revolutionary youth and a “soft” electorate.

The cadres of billionaire plutocrats and the petty tyrants of the political left can count on the approval of the decadent and feminized moieties, which is why these must be resisted by the “righteous” -- ordinary men and women who do honest labor and cherish their friends and families as they do their freedom -- with all the means at their disposal. And they must resolutely support President Trump, who in his battle to ensure electoral legitimacy and preserve the integrity of the nation, has come to resemble a tragic hero fighting inestimable odds.

The Deep State starts racing for the exits

Tuesday greeted us with the long awaited response from A.G. William Barr, who at last ordered the vast force at his disposal — oh, so slowly and reluctantly, it appears — to begin investigating the snowballing reports of vote fraud arising from every county of this Grand Republic.

Within minutes, Election Crimes Branch chief Richard Pilger, the man responsible for preventing this kind of offense in the first place, rather than take charge and do the work he's been trained to do for years, up and resigned, with sonic booms heard as he raced for the exit.

"What fresh hell is this?" I can hear voices asking.  "What possible explanation can there be for this strange and unparalleled turn of events?"

Well, it seems pretty clear to me.  Pilger is on a cleft stick.  If he goes out and actually "does his f------ job," as Tyler Durden puts it, then he'll never be invited to another Beltway cocktail party.  His Deep State reputation will be utterly ruined, replaced with the ignominy of the man who destroyed Disciple Joe's opportunity to step into the Messiah's sandals.  If, on the other hand, he were to pull a Mueller and actively attempt to destroy or hide the evidence sprouting like kudzu in a Deep South summer, he'd end up in the Big House with the rest of the Democrats.

So he's wisely decided to cut his losses.  Now he can pose as another Andrew McCabe, the clean-cut career crime-fighter who courageously stuck with his ideals rather than bend to the demands of the Orange Cthulhu.  Book deal, talk-show tour, and MSNBC position will be now forthcoming.

 This is, simply put, the first piece falling off the Democratic machine.  There will be many more coming as it skids more swiftly and inevitably toward the abyss.

12 Ways For Trump To Bomb The Battlefield While Biden Claims The Presidency

President Trump needs a skunkworks team coming up with as many political land mines as possible to embed in the landscape against Democrats if Republicans are forced to retreat from the White House in January.

posted by Joy Pullman at The Federalist

President Trump is right to refuse to concede the 2020 election until every legal vote has been counted and allegations of significant fraud have been fairly investigated. His voters deserve and need to know if we were beaten fair and square. Otherwise, Democrats are poisoning the nation’s political well and ensuring Republicans never wield power at the federal level again after having established that Republicans will not fight fraud.

Since the president’s team has begun releasing increasingly good evidence of large-scale voter fraud in key states, the tide may yet turn again. At the same time, the same media-Democrat complex whose lies have been running the country for four years — think Russian collusion, impeachment, and now endless COVID lockdowns unhinged from science and prudence— typically prevail through their well-amplified echo chamber of lies that operates key institutions Republicans have conceded for the last century. 

A savvy embattled leader will prepare for all possible outcomes, and make war on all fronts possible. Democrat leadership doesn’t only do that because they have evil ideology and character. They do it because it works.

That means right now President Trump needs a skunkworks team coming up with as many political land mines as possible to embed in the landscape if Republicans are forced to retreat from the White House in January. Going on offense will also open new fronts so Democrats cannot exclusively focus on swaying the North Carolina and Georgia Senate races to obtain unobstructed control of Congress and the presidency.

I’ve got a few ideas that will open new offensive fronts and occupy Democrat time and resources, as well as deprive them of their public veneer of legitimacy that is crucial to the population quietly accepting their claims at face value, to the clear detriment of our nation and its future.

1. Immediately Release All Spygate Documents

The full truth about which Obama administration officials did what in the conspiracy to strangle Trump’s presidency through false accusations of treason with Russia remains largely under wraps. Key intelligence officials appear to have deliberately sat on important Spygate information, hoping to keep it hidden until Biden possibly became president and it could be buried forever. Not one person has been prosecuted in the probe yet, even though many have clearly committed felonies. 

We’re talking members of one political party using federal policing, spying, and investigative powers to persecute their political opponents in order to invalidate the results of a presidential election. Corruption doesn’t get any more dangerous than this. If Biden does become president, the full truth will never come out. What’s worse, the lack of punishment for actual treason will enable it to happen again, and again, and again.

Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer’s comments about how presidents don’t do what spooks want will pay for it will be proven absolutely true, and our nation will have fully succumbed to the rule of a few unaccountable elite who rule against the voters’ will. Trump must release all the Spygate documents now to make sure this cannot happen.

2. Pardon Russiagate Victims Like Mike Flynn

Michael Flynn has been punished for four years for agreeing to serve as Trump’s national security advisor. He was nabbed as part of the Spygate sting on Trump, and is still having his life devastated by endless court persecutions that are based on nothing but anti-Trump prejudice and a desire to hide what else is under the hood.

Flynn deserves a pardon. He may not be able to get it because his judge has been deliberately delaying his legal process hoping for a Biden win, but Trump should do all possible for him and the other people who were targeted with legal harassment for the crime of supporting Trump.

3. Fire Chris Wray 

FBI Director Chris Wray has not addressed the deep corruption among senior FBI staff revealed in the course of four years of Russiagate investigations. We’re talking evidence of numerous felonies going unpunished, likely with more we don’t know about. He needs to be replaced with someone who will clean house fast.

That should include releasing all internal information possible about crimes that have been committed by FBI employees, like those that caused some to take out professional liability insurance because of the obviously criminal things they were being commanded to do as part of their “public service.”

4. Every Trump Appointee Should Be Taking Down Names and Files

Trump opponents have started making lists of anyone who worked for or supported him, to purge and harass them until the ends of their lives. Each and every Trump appointee to political federal agency posts should start making their own lists of information for friendly reporters to do open records requests on to reveal the rampant corruption within the federal workforce, from federal employees who are obviously worthless loafers to shocking activities being perpetrated with taxpayer dollars such as the racist critical race theory trainings that Biden has promised to reinstate if he takes the presidency.

By now, these appointees know where some dirty laundry can be found. They should make sure it all gets aired. It’s time to make war on the administrative state that has besieged the nation that funds it.

5. Release All Paper Trails for Likely Biden Appointees 

The Biden campaign is telegraphing its disrespect for America’s election certification processes by releasing information about who Biden plans to elevate to appointed public positions. The Trump administration should helpfully pre-release to the public all internal information about any of these people’s past federal service. It should publish all emails, memos, communications, reports, and all other available information about, to, and from them that can be found in our taxpayer-underwritten national records. Transparency!

6. Fire Fauci

Dr. Anthony Fauci is a double-dealing political hack who has devastated his country insisting it is moral to sacrifice an entire nation to stop a single virus with a survivability rate of 99.95 percent for the working- and school-age population (those younger than 70). Under Trump, he has actively worked against the president’s priority of making sure there is an America left after COVID, providing nonstop ammunition to media hysteria that has hobbled the nation, advanced our foreign enemies, deeply damaged relationships and communities, and darkened our economic future while very possibly increasing the death toll.

Fauci should have been fired months ago. He probably wasn’t because of the upcoming election. Well, now the election is over. Get rid of this petty little dictator.

7. Publish All Internal Deliberation About COVID Response Among Federal Agencies and Taskforces

The American people deserve to know what our “top scientists” were privately saying in email, videoconference, and other venues within their government jobs about topics like mask mandates, the efficacy of a vaccine, the accuracy of the information being put forth by organizations like the Centers for Disease Control, and efforts at suppressing dissent and science that did not accord with Democrats’ desire to use coronavirus as a weapon against Democrat Enemy No. 1.

All this information is public record. Don’t wait for the records requests. Speaking from experience, federal agencies often delay those endlessly or force inquirers to pay a pretty penny to obtain this ostensibly public information. Pre-emptively release it and let the American people see what their money and lives got them from our “public health experts,” and whether their public claims matched their private discussions and information.

8. Publish All Information About A COVID Vaccine

The Trump administration awarded the drug company Pfizer $2 billion from taxpayers to produce a coronavirus vaccine available for free to all Americans. Pfizer decided to notify Joe Biden of the latest developments in that vaccine rather than the president who commissioned it and was, in fact, still president at the time of Pfizer’s news.

All communications and research about the vaccine should be posted publicly, most importantly because Americans deserve to know what they are getting if they take it and to be able to tell if people are lying to them about it for political purposes.

9. Release All Information about Supposed Investigations Of Planned Parenthood Trafficking In Human Body Parts

We’ve spent four years hearing Democrats preen their fake morality feathers claiming Trump separates children from parents while they demand that Americans fund a massive corporation that profits big-time by separating children from their hearts and brains inside the womb. Federal agencies have been supposed to be investigating Planned Parenthood’s body parts trafficking scheme, but we’ve heard nothing from them while California continues to legally persecute the whistleblower who recorded video evidence of this crime against humanity.

The woman who led that persecution may soon become vice president. It is a certainty she will make sure that investigation ends.

The Trump administration should find all of the video evidence whistleblower David Daleiden has compiled, which ought to be in federal possession as part of that investigation, and release it to the public so corrupt California courts cannot continue to hide this horrific evidence from Americans that their tax dollars are funding a mass murderer.

10. Prepare All Election Lawsuit Documents for Release ASAP

Corporate media, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter, have already declared that they will keep information about voter fraud from reaching the American public. It is therefore up to the Trump campaign to keep doing end-runs around their censorship, in this case by making sure all those who are disposed to hear his case are aware of what it consists and have the facts available to steel their resolve in his favor.

The campaign has begun to release lawsuits and affidavits and other information about its case. It should continue to do so and to make sure that Americans see for themselves that the media is lying to them about where the situation stands.

 

11. Accelerate the Wall and Prepare for the Caravans

“Caravans” of unvetted foreign citizens who intend to deliberately break U.S. law to enter our country are again amassing in anticipation of a Biden presidency allowing them unfettered and unlawful access to U.S. resources. Trump should move every single dollar he can get towards getting as much of his border wall finished as possible, and accelerate all other ways he can impede Biden from allowing massive amounts of money to  keep flowing to terrorist cartels through human trafficking.

12. Get American Soldiers Home by Christmas

On Monday, President Trump fired and replaced Defense Secretary Mark Esper. Since Trump has been the only president in decades to not start a new foreign war, and his own staff have been blocking his policy of not making U.S. taxpayers fund the security of foreign nations, he should get it done already.

It’s been 20 years. We’re done in Iraq and Afghanistan. Give America and the troops a Christmas present. If Biden ultimately reverses the decision or starts a new war, he can make Democrats own their new status as the party that stands for wasting American blood and treasure.
