NO HE DID NOT!!!

Go read what he actually said. He meant that the FRAUD was negating the Constitution.  He could have worded it more clearly but it’s obvious what he meant.  It is being deliberately misconstrued to hurt him politically.

Spin Zone / Observations of a Red Neck
« on: November 26, 2022, 02:32:30 PM »
I want to share some observations.  Y'all know I live in Georgia, for many it would be labeled "red neck" country as would most of the south.
 
 
 
 Thursday and Friday we made our trip to Concord, NC and back. We made several stops along the way and interacted with many folks of various races, colors and creeds.  Never once were any of the interactions unfriendly. We held doors for each other, exchanged greetings with each other, had short conversations, etc. 
 


 I am quite tired of being labeled and divided when that is just not happening here. Are there some idiots, certainly and there will always be.
 
 
 Last night we went to see "Devotion" a great movie about a black Naval aviator in the early fifties. There were a fair number of folks in the theater with us. Among them was an older gentleman, who I'm guessing served in some branch of the military. He was with family members and they kept a close watch on him as he seemed a bit unsteady at times. Barbara uses a walker nearly all the time now. We sat in a low row as there was not room in the row we usually sit in.  When the movie was over, I got Barbara;s walker and she headed down the ramp to the door. This gentleman and his family were near her and this man worked to get to the door and hold it for Barbara. People will hold the door for us all the time, including younger folks but this was quite special.

How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System
By Jay Valentine

 
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/11/how_wisconsin_streetfighters_disrupted_a_democrat_ballotgathering_system.html
 
Ballots and votes.
 
These two words seem synonymous, yet they imply opposite ways to choose a government.
 
There is a big difference between "votes" and "ballots."  The Republicans focused on winning votes; the Democrats focused on gathering ballots.  The ballots won.
 
—Conservative Treehouse November 2022
 
When Election Day became Election Month, mail-in ballots replaced in-person voters, and the electoral world changed forever.  It is not changing back.
 
 
Democrats, expert in anything government-related, drove states to change laws, increase voting days, loosen voter standards.  Republican leadership dozed.
 
Democrats, leftist non-governmental organizations, Big Tech invented every conceivable way to manipulate the ballot process: collect ballots, drop into streetside bins, fill them out if the voter doesn't.
 
That is a ballot-gathering strategy.  It works!
 
Republicans remained stuck in the same "voter strategy" for the last decade: yard signs, fundraising, obscure websites, TV ads.
 
The raw material of the ballot-gathering strategy is the phantom voter or address.  Every ballot needs to tie to someone — even if only a name on a list.
 
Live, votable ballots accumulate at addresses where the indicated voter does not reside.  Those ballots, gathered, are the inventory of electoral victory.  He who gathers them can vote them.
 
The ballot-gathering system was frictionless until 2020.  Thousands of phantom addresses inhabited every state's voter list.
 
Clever leftists built a national system, ERIC, now used by about 30 states, to make sure voter rolls protected phantoms.  Using in-your-face messaging, ERIC claimed it was a resource to keep voter rolls clean.
 
No friction, no challenge.
 
After 2020, everything changed.
 
The once frictionless ballot-gathering apparatus was challenged in every state as voter integrity teams, citizens at kitchen tables, picked apart voter rolls.  They quickly found tens of thousands of dead or moved voters.  There were innumerable addresses where no voter could possibly live.
 
For the first time, there was pushback against ballot gathering.  Citizens demanded that voter rolls be cleaned, addresses be real.  In too many cases, affidavits with photographs of an empty lot where several voters claimed to live failed to convince a judge to action.
 
Not in Wisconsin.
 
Again, from the Conservative Treehouse:
 
Wisconsin tried essentially the same thing as PA and MI, except there was already residual election roll cleanup (hurts the ballot team) and strong election day turn out (helps vote team).
 
A Wisconsin voter integrity team found, after reviewing scores of counties and localities, that the number of ballots and votes cast lined up.
 
Democrats know how many votes they need and cast them during the forever campaign time in the name of phantoms.  Their ballot inventory comes from real ballots sent to fake addresses, then collected by someone — never a Republican — and voted.
 
When evaluating any system, one asks: is there an inherent contradiction?  Is there something in the system that, when pushed to scale, will make it fail or blow up or both?
 
Quiet, anonymous Wisconsin heroes — working in a small office, virtually unfunded — proved how to collapse the Democrat ballot-gathering apparatus.
 
For the ballot-gathering strategy to work, Democrats need tens of thousands of phantom addresses and voters.  A few is not enough.  Without thousands of loose ballots tied to phantoms, the edifice comes crashing down.
 
They also need Republicans to do nothing.
 
The Wisconsin team proved, in this election, that adding even a small amount of friction – removing thousands of phantom names and identifying several hundred thousand incorrect addresses — has a massive impact on the ballot-gathering system.
 
Our Wisconsin election heroes applied Fractal Programming technology, funded by Mike Lindell, at scale to find and challenge phantoms.  The process is explained at
www.Omega4America.com.
 
They went to scores of county registrars and challenged thousands of phantoms — proof in hand.  Quietly, below the radar, they showed registrars, whose job it is to deal with this sort of thing, that Bill Jones was not a real person.  They helped clean up addresses that were wrong — either typos or fake.
 
Any one of those addresses was a landing pad for a loose ballot.
 
On Election Day, the Wisconsin Democrats did not have enough phantoms or mail-in ballots to go around.  A Republican senator might have been saved by these actions.
 
The good news of the now permanent ballot-gathering strategy is that the Democrats need to keep voter rolls fat with the dead, people living in UPS boxes and R.V. parks.  They need to physically gather all those floating ballots and vote them.
 
Republicans have a different, less steep hill to climb: keep voter rolls as clean as possible.  Identify in advance where ballots will be mailed to addresses where nobody lives — and shut those ballots down.
 
For the Republicans, any friction injected into the ballot-gathering system has disproportionate benefits — so they have asymmetric advantages.
 
Votes require people, ballots require systems.  Republican officials, Republican politicians and the Republican voters need to switch the emphasis from people (votes and poll watchers) to systems in these states.
 
—Conservative Treehouse November 2022
 
Using Fractal Programming, the Wisconsin team showed the impact of introducing friction into the ballot-gathering system.  Even a little friction, and everything breaks down.  That is leverage, and that leverage is with the good guys.
 
The Fractal team is working in about twenty states, with a roll-out to all states for 2024.  Right now, Fractal analysis is provided by Mike Lindell and the Fractal team.  It needs to go national — injecting gravel into the Democrat ballot-gathering apparatus.
 
Organized voter ballot distribution, voter ballot delivery and ballot pickup systems need to be in place by the spring of 2023.  There should be no other priority for any Republican Party or politician in any state where ballot collection, mail-in ballots, ballot drop boxes, or ballot harvesting is permitted by law.
 
Stop campaigning for votes and immediately switch the entire political operation to electioneering for ballots.
 
—The Conservative Treehouse November 2022
 
Let us all how remember anonymous electoral streetfighters, with few resources, showed how even a little gravel tossed into the Democrats' ballot-gathering apparatus can disrupt a frictionless system in place for 30 years.
 
Let's go get more gravel.

Spin Zone / Re: The Left is in Utter Panic

Awww that’s sweet.

I was one of the few boys who had a car. It was early May and graduation was coming up fast. My ticket to the service was already punched and I was seriously gliding toward the runway.

Maggie was disadvantaged and her disability was not elegant, or pretty. She was heavy, with mismatched facial features from her never ending treatments and operations. Her mother tried her best but her dress looked like it was rescued from a dumpster and she never complained at all.

Her dad helped me stow her chair and showed me how to properly reassemble it. We even posed for pictures. My bosses sister helped me pick out a courage and I decided we would walk in like we owned the joint and this happened all the time.

Maggie was petrified about being hazed by the cool kids. I made a fist each time she shared her fears.

When I walked in pushing her specialized chair the overall noise level dropped considerably and one of the retarded asshole jocks started to say something really cutting to ruin Maggie’s night.

His girlfriend slapped his arm so hard eveyone heard it and her posse just glared him into silence.

One of the wealthy girls with big boobs grabbed the chair away from me and took her off to the Ladies Lounge (nice venues called the ladies room a lounge in those days) and when they returned she had fixed up Maggie’s hair and applied just touch of makeup and lipstick.

That kind of broke the ice and we figured out how I could maneuver her wheelchair enough to simulate dancing.

She died about six years later, I heard. There was never going to be a happy ending for her, but I looked her up a year later when I was home on leave, and she cried telling me how much going to the prom meant to her.

So fuck the jocks, the assholes and the cruel kids. My gang of friends did our part against bullying.

I told the woman who became my wife all about the prom and Maggie on our first date. I suspect that sealed the deal, right there. Poor woman heard it all over and over from my old friends when we were back for the 25th reunion, which was my first and only.

We were so young….

Where did all those years go?

The Left "Wokeists" are the Fascists that don't want to give up their controlling, Freedom and spirit killing power.

You are so right.  Their projection is insane, to listen to them talk about “fascism” if the Republicans get back in control. 


THEY are the ones censoring speech

THEY are the ones bullying corporations into promoting their ideology

THEY are the ones in total control of mainstream media

THEY are the ones mandating the population to take a vaccine so Big Pharma can make obscene profits

THEY are the ones locking down and destroying small businesses while letting Walmart stay open

THEY are the racists and sexists, inciting hatred between races and genders

THEY are the ones sending billions overseas escalating a war we have no business being involved in

THEY are the ones who have taken complete control of our educational system and use it to indoctrinate the young into their ideology

THEY are the ones destroying the middle class and broadening the divide between rich and poor

THEY are the ones weaponizing all branches of the federal government against anyone who disagrees with them

THEY are the ones holding political prisoners without due process

THEY are the ones trying to destroy our republic - we are not a democracy - by trying to change election law so that they will always win and we become a one party state

THAT is fascism.

Spin Zone / Democrats Working on Scapegoats For When They Lose Midterms
« on: October 19, 2022, 11:22:27 AM »
Washington Free Beacon has assembled the top ten scapegoats democrat communists will blame for getting their asses handed to them by voters.

My favorite one is they are planning to blame VOTERS for being too stupid to vote for their betters.

Here is their list - add your own:

10) Vladimir Putin

The Russian dictator's ill-advised invasion of Ukraine caused a surge in oil prices, which forced voters to support Republicans. (Never mind that President Joe Biden responded by depleting the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve while blocking efforts to expand domestic oil production.) If Democrats lose, there's a good chance that some politicians and media pundits will suggest (without evidence) that Russian hacking played a role in their defeat.

9) The Saudis

Pundits are already accusing the Saudis of conspiring to damage Democrats in the midterms after OPEC+ member states announced a steep cut in oil production earlier this month. It's just not fair, especially since Biden debased himself by bumping fists with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman after promising to make the Saudi leader a "pariah."

8) The Federal Reserve

Ryan Cooper, managing editor of the left-wing American Prospect, responded to the Times poll by lashing out at the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates and "failing to contain inflation." Fed chairman Jerome Powell, he wrote on Twitter, was "going to hand Congress to the GOP" and lay the ground for Republicans to "abolish democracy" and "do a bunch of heinous gestapo shit" because "normie swing voters" were concerned about inflation.

7) The Lincoln Project

This would be giving the Lincoln Project too much credit, but a poor showing in the midterms might finally make Democrats angry enough to denounce these shameless grifters for raking in millions from liberal donors that might otherwise have gone to organizations that care about winning elections.

6) President Joe Biden

If Democrats get wiped out in November, expect more calls for Biden to leave office after one term. The president will turn 80 on Nov. 20, and a poor showing in the midterms will increase the likelihood that some ambitious young Democrats will start gunning for the party's nomination in 2024. That doesn't mean nominating someone like Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, or Kamala Harris would give them a better chance of winning, but Biden is too old and forcing him to run again would be a cruel form of elder abuse.

5) White women

Democrats losing control of Congress will inspire at least a dozen think pieces about how white women are complicit in the "dismantling of democracy" because they don't agree with Elizabeth Warren, a white woman who advanced her career by pretending to be Native American. The vast majority of these vacuous screeds will be written by white women pretending to be journalists.

4) The media

Democrats hate it when journalists report the facts without adding additional "context" about why Democrats are good and Republicans are bad. Last week, for example, they denounced an NBC News journalist for reporting that John Fetterman, a stroke victim and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, had trouble understanding her while conversing without the aid of a captioning device. Some critics accused NBC News of promoting "violence towards disabled people." Democrats will inevitably complain that mainstream outlets should have spent less time covering inflation, crime, and immigration—issues voters actually care about—as opposed to the January 6 hearings.

3) "Hispanic white supremacists"

If the Republican Party's share of the Hispanic vote continues to grow in 2022, journalists and other partisan Democrats will lose their minds. Expect to see an explosion of hot takes about how Hispanics who don't vote for Democrats are betraying their own community and imperiling democracy by embracing white supremacy.

2) "Jim Crow 2.0"

Stacey Abrams repeatedly questioned the legitimacy of her defeat in the Georgia gubernatorial election in 2018 and faced zero consequences from our media gatekeepers. She is almost certain to lose again this year, and hers probably won't be the only race in which pundits suggest Republicans won due to so-called voter suppression, or "Jim Eagle," in the words of our eloquent commander in chief.

1) The voters

The most predictable scapegoat. Some will suggest American voters were "duped" by so-called misinformation, which is just a polite way of saying their fellow Americans who don't have a fancy college degree are too stupid to think for themselves, or as one lib Twitter user responded to the Times poll showing a Republicans lead, "We are honestly just a dumb fucking species." Look out for hot takes about how Americans just voted to re-institute slavery and create a real-life version of The Handmaid's Tale because they wanted cheaper gas and groceries.

Everyone needs to return to voting for people and the policies rather than the R or D after their name.

All the Ds are Fasco-Communists.  Most of the Rs are Establishment swamp dwellers.

In his defense he is one and we are ten ganging up on him.  Doesn’t mean we ten are wrong.  I would like Michael to defend his position and explain why he thinks Meloni, Trump, and all MAGA supporters are “fascist”.

First we must start with the definition of fascism.  Originally it was a “totalitarian political movement linked with corporatism”, especially as applied to Mussolini.  Later racism and xenophobia were added as supposed features and I suspect this is what Michael thinks is the main definition and that it applies to anyone not far left.

Fascism is nationalistic in that it puts the importance of the state over the individual.  This is supposedly the opposite of socialism (communism) but we know that in practice socialism and communism also put the state (collective) over the individual.

In the second half of the 19th century the vast empty western territories were up for grabs by the railroads, who competed to be the first to reach California.  Two railroad moguls, General Palmer of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, and William Barstow Strong, of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, were bitter rivals who hated each other, both racing to lay tracks over the Raton Pass at the border of Colorado and New Mexico to go south of the Rockies and on to the west coast, and to lay a track through the Royal Gorge along the canyon of the Arkansas river to access silver mines beyond.  It was only wide enough for one track.  For years these two men fought literal wars over these ambitions, at the worst point involving armed militias, as well as manipulating what legal authority there was in the territories to outmaneuver each other. 

In the entire history of the United States there are probably no two men who hated each other more.  But the reason they remained such well matched enemies is because they were exactly alike.  Cut from the same cloth, they kept guessing each other’s moves, reading each other’s minds, showing up to thwart each other’s plans just in the nick of time.

This is communism(leftism) and fascism.  Both are a system of privileged ruling elites putting themselves in centralized control of a population.  The two are not opposites of each other but two faces of the same totalitarian evil. The current worldwide conservative-populist movement is what is opposite of them; it is opposed to centralized control, and favors returning power to more local levels.  The left uses “fascism” as a pejorative to falsely paint this movement as something it is not. 

I suspect that Michael and the left think the right in the U.S. is “fascist” because of their recent actions on issues like abortion and gay/trans.  On these social issues they are correct, the right has overreacted to the left’s overreach on these matters.  The right has proposed national bans on abortion, defense of marriage, that sort of thing, because the woke left pushed the issues into lunatic land.

What led to RvW being overturned was the left pushing to legalize abortion in the 9th month.  What led to bathroom laws where you have to use the one you were born as, and don’t say gay laws, was the left’s absolutely insane forcing the issue affecting a tiny minority on all the rest of us, making us change our pronouns - lunacy!

The left is creating an authoritarian right backlash on these issues.  If that’s what Michael means then he is correct but has only himself to blame if he votes for these insane far left Democrats.

But on economic issues the right is nowhere near totalitarian control of the economy, but on the contrary wants to loosen centralized control.  Allow Keystone, allow drilling, cut regulations so the economy doesn’t suffocate, cut taxes to empower the middle and lower classes.  All of this is the opposite of both far left communism and far right “fascism”.

« on: September 21, 2022, 06:17:35 AM »
No doubt they clicked on it and probably read your “Advantages” post and got offended at the criticism of their centralized control method of moderation.  Or maybe they have a problem with Jim or Peter, or me or Becky, since we were the only ones who had posted there up to that point. (Texas Tailwheel has made a post since.)

Centralized control in any human endeavor tends to lead to its demise.  That was the fate of the AOPA forum.  Back on the yellow board there was very little moderation of any kind and things got out of hand.  But instead of implementing something like your user controlled moderation they went with centralized.  After the switch to the red board it grew tighter, first confining “spin” type subjects to a subforum, then banning spin type topics altogether, and finally banning all subjects not aviation related.  Now it doesn’t even exist.  It seems PoA is also getting tighter in a somewhat different way. It still has good traffic but is that because it doesn’t have competition?

The same thing is beginning to happen with Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.  Their centralized authoritarian censorship is causing the rise of other platforms and the migration of content to those more free platforms is resulting in the decline of the former ones.

The same applies to economics.  Communism (centralized control of the economy) has failed everywhere it’s been tried.  After mass starvation occurs, you end up allowing some capitalism (putting economic control back in the hands of the people) so you can survive as a country.  But those who love power just can’t quite give it up so they retain cultural control in those countries and living under those regimes is miserable.  That’s the core issue with centralized control of any kind; their proponents like power over others too much.

No control at all (anarchy) doesn’t work for the broad population.  Society needs order.  We saw that with the yellow board, things get too out of control. It works here because this forum is not public and so the group is limited and has settled into a stable dynamic.  But of course any forum not publicly visible will stagnate.  That’s why Jim and Peter created a new publicly visible forum.  Their idea of putting control into the hands of the end user is to empower the individual.  I thought everybody was for that.  Maybe some only give it lip service.

Somehow liberals NEVER get it right. When the only thing that matters is cheating your opponent, the law is apparently just not a factor.

Federal Judge Amy Berman put to rest any right the National Archives has to Presidential records when she ruled in favor of bill clinton and the famous sock drawer dust-up.

Poor merrick and chrissy wray. They just can't steal and lie enough...


When it comes to the National Archives, history has a funny way of repeating itself. And legal experts say a decade-old case over audio tapes that Bill Clinton once kept in his sock drawer may have significant impact over the FBI search of Melania Trump's closet and Donald Trump's personal office.

The case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch.

For pop culture, the case is most memorable for the revelation that the 42nd president for a time stored the audio tapes in his sock drawer at the White House. The tapes became the focal point of a 2009 book that Branch wrote.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington D.C. ultimately rejected Judicial Watch's suit by concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives to seize records from a former president.

But Jackson's ruling — along with the Justice Department's arguments that preceded it — made some other sweeping declarations that have more direct relevance to the FBI's decision to seize handwritten notes and files Trump took with him to Mar-a-Lago. The most relevant is that a president's discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.

"Under the statutory scheme established by the PRA, the decision to segregate personal materials from Presidential records is made by the President, during the President's term and in his sole discretion," Jackson wrote in her March 2012 decision, which was never appealed.

"Since the President is completely entrusted with the management and even the disposal of Presidential records during his time in office, it would be difficult for this Court to conclude that Congress intended that he would have less authority to do what he pleases with what he considers to be his personal records," she added.

In the event Mike comes back with yet another pants-on-fire claim that the documents were “highly classified” and thus it was a security breach to take them, I’ll leave him this.

Article II of the Constitution vests absolute authority as Commander in Chief.  In the 1988 Supreme Court ruling in Department of Navy v. Egan, the court wrote “His [the President’s] authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security…flows primarily from this Constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant.” 

In other words, the president has the final authority to classify or declassify documents at will. There is no fourth branch of government that can exercise authority over the President on intelligence matters. The intelligence agencies all fall under the Executive Branch. And Congress cannot exercise authority over the Executive if the President’s authority originates out of the Constitution.
