Chicago Shooting

A woman at a Chicago White Sox game was hit by a stray bullet. In a theme familiar from a Bracken novel, a woman watching a baseball game was hit, and police don’t know if the bullet came from inside of or outside of the stadium. The woman shot is visible in the red circle above the “State Farm” sign:

So now that you know where to look, here is the video:

Election Shenanigans

One of the things that the Trump team is being charged with in Georgia is complaining that Georgia’s election was not properly conducted.

Did you know that hundreds of attorneys from the ACLU were permitted to decide which absentee ballots would count, and which would not? New FOIA records reveal Fulton election officials in 2020 deputized 100s of anti-Trump Dems from ACLU, gave them power to process absentee ballot apps through an online portal. The ACLU attorneys were given iPads that had the ability to cancel absentee ballots without county supervision. Don’t think it’s true? Read the evidence from the ACLU themselves.

The ACLU of Georgia is recruiting lawyers to volunteer as Fulton County Deputy Registrars on November 3, 2020…On Election Day, when a Fulton voter who has requested an absentee ballot arrives at a polling location intending to vote in person, it will be the responsibility of the Fulton County Deputy Registrar stationed at each Fulton polling location to cancel that absentee ballot directly through the county election software.

You get that? The Georgia election officials allowed volunteers from the ACLU to have access to the election computer system, where they had the power and ability to delete the ballots of voters that they, in their sole discretion, decided were there to vote in person after casting an absentee ballot. It’s OK though, because they were trained and screened:

Attorneys carry strict ethical obligations and procedural training, which will help engender confidence in Fulton voters in this new process. Volunteers will be sworn in as a Deputy Registrar and tasked with efficiently managing the absentee ballot cancellation process at their assigned polling location.

We can all rest easy knowing that this election was the most secure and fair election ever. Why? Because we all know how ethical and honest lawyers are. After all, lawyers are among the most lived and trusted occupations in the country. On top of that, we all know how even handed and nonpartisan the ACLU is.

I want you to keep a few facts in mind:

To those who keep telling me that I am black pilled or that I am a doomer- when was the last time someone was prosecuted for saying that there were shenanigans in an election? When were the courts stepping in to fix it?

Unarmed= At the Mercy of Others

The people in Maui were prohibited by the police from leaving the area. The ones who were forced to stay, died.

More than 1,000 people are missing or dead- many of them children- after police would not allow them to flee the advancing flames. If the people would have been capable of armed resistance, would the results have been the same?

People get the government that they vote for. That’s why I don’t feel sorry for the residents of Hawaii. They voted for a Democrat governor, Senators, Representatives, and have voted for Democrat Presidents for decades. Hawaiians: This is YOUR fault. Remember that on election day, assuming that it isn’t too late for your votes to matter.

I Love It

Trump is already selling Tshirts and other items with his picture on it. Meanwhile, the press thinks they are owning him with this quote:

The tagline under the mug shot on the official MAGA gear states “NEVER SURRENDER!” in all caps, despite the fact that Trump, 77, did in fact surrender on Thursday before he was released on a $200,000 bond.

That isn’t the own that they think it is. In the meantime, Trump made his return to Twitter (the website now known as X) with this tweet, which has been viewed over 100 million times in less than 10 hours:

If you are interested, the merchandise with Trump’s picture can be found here.

Scaring the Kids

I got a call from my sister. Her 14 year old daughter, my niece, is being sexually harassed at school. There are a couple of boys who are being very descriptive in what they want to do to her. She told them that what they were doing is sexual harassment, but the boys responded with “You women are just too sensitive.”

Two weeks ago, she emailed the school counselor. Who did nothing. It has continued to happen.

So yesterday, she went to the counselor’s office and complained. The counselor said that there is nothing she can do but move my niece to a different class.

I told my niece that this is unacceptable. She is the victim and shouldn’t have to move, plus this won’t stop the boy from simply seeing her somewhere else and continuing the behavior. I told her that the way forward is to go to the principal (or have her mother do it) and ask that administrator if he is going to take action. Point out to him that he is required by law to take disciplinary action against the boy, and if he doesn’t, she will contact the county school board’s title IX officer and make it an official complaint. Trust me, it won’t go that far.

My niece doesn’t want to do that because she is afraid that, if the boys get in trouble, they are going to bring a gun to school and shoot her.

This is what the left is doing to young women- they have them so afraid of the almost nonexistent threat from school shootings that are black swan events, that these young girls are being sexually harassed and afraid enough that they are having to take it.

  • These girls are having to change in locker rooms next to a “trans woman” with “her” penis hanging out.
  • They are having boys make those kinds of comments about them.
  • The schools now do nothing.
  • And the girls are afraid to stand up for themselves for fear of retribution,

Tell me again how the left is the group that supports women. I get it. Teenaged boys are stupid and have no game. They need to learn that this isn’t the way to get women. Twenty or thirty years ago, the way that boys learned this lesson was a guy said some shit like that, and he was told to cut it out. If he didn’t, one of the girl’s male friends, her brother, or some other male would kick the shit out of him and he would learn some respect. A few months later, they would all be friends again.

Not today. Now we are too civilized for that.

Presidential Race: One Scenario

All of the talk shows today were talking about two things: Donald Trump’s impending arrest, and last night’s Republican Presidential Debates. Even Larry Correia is going on and on about how Trump can’t win, and we need to support one of the guys from the debate last night. He seems to think that the left wants Trump to be the nominee because they know that Biden will beat him because everyone hates Trump. Here is Trump’s mugshot:

All things being equal, I don’t think Trump is a great choice. Mostly because we know the swamp will fight him every step of the way, and let’s face it, he is old. Still, he is polling with such a large lead that all of the Republican candidates combined couldn’t beat him. With that being said, I am not really liking any of the other candidates, either.

  • Christie is a RINO gun grabber authoritarian that will actually be worse than Biden.
  • DeSantis is a great governor here in Florida, but he is too polished, and too much a favorite of the establishment Republicans, and of the MSM. I don’t trust what he is selling.
  • Vivek is too young and naïve. He isn’t ready.
  • Pence will never get the MAGA vote. They will stay home before electing him. There is no path forward for a candidate that doesn’t have the MAGA vote. They are half of the Republican base, for crying out loud.
  • The rest of the field either has no shot or is even worse.

When it comes election time, Trump is still the best choice. I don’t think that it matters.

The talking heads were asking callers if it came to a choice between Biden and Republican X, what would you do in the election. Most of them said that if Trump were not the candidate, they would stay home. That’s important, and I will explain.

The cheat, the fix, is in.

Trump wins the Republican nomination. It is obvious that he will do so in a landslide. At least one of his trials will happen at some point between now and June 4, the date of the last Republican primary. The Democrats are likely to get at least one conviction on the 91 charges that Trump is facing. Sorry, but Federal prosecutors have better than a 90% conviction rate. They only need one conviction on one charge for this to work. That one conviction will be enough of a fig leaf for at least some Democrat Secretaries of State to deny Trump from appearing on the ballot, claiming that the conviction bars him from running under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. If even six states, currently with a Democrat as Secretary of state don’t put him on the ballot, the Democrat runs unopposed:

  • Arizona (11 electoral votes)
  • Illinois (20 electoral votes)
  • Michigan (16 electoral votes)
  • Minnesota (10 electoral votes)
  • Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes)
  • Wisconsin (10 electoral votes)

Do the math. Losing those six swing states would deny Trump 87 electoral votes and make it virtually impossible for him to get the 270 votes needed to win the election. They don’t need to stuff a single ballot box. That doesn’t require them to pull any other shenanigans. They don’t need Oprah, Big Mike, or even Newsome. All they need is a single conviction.

There is enough hatred of Trump among the establishment Republicans that I don’t think the party will put up more than token resistance. You know, like they are now. Some strongly worded letters, fiery speeches, that sort of thing. Even if they do scream- what can they do? We have already seen what good lawsuits and lawyers do.

So as far as worrying about the debates and all of that?

I don’t think it matters. There will not be another Republican in the White House, and the Republicans in charge of the party don’t care, as long as they get to keep their cushy positions.
