Inventing Phrases in COTUS

So to catch you up, a lefty made the assertion that:

I still haven’t seen any proof of the 2020 election being stolen. All I’ve seen is unproven, anecdotal talking points.

Someone else came in and said:

I support Desantis too, but let’s not overdo it. The laws that were illegally changed, drop boxes, illegal ballot harvesting, ballot dumps. Yes, it has all happened and documented.

The original lefty then said:

The drop boxes were legal. The laws were changed based on emergency protocols dictated by the Trump administration. Yet nobody (including Trump’s attorneys) have been able to prove to me that there was real mass voter fraud, & every one of them have come out & said there wasn’t & admitted they LIED.

That’s where I felt the need to jump in:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.” The legislature- no one else. Any other means is not legal. There is nothing there about “emergencies”

The moron lefty then says that the use of the word ‘may’ in the phrase “as the Legislature may direct” means that other agencies of the government can change the rules for selecting electors as they see fit.

Where do they come up with this stuff? Of course he is wrong. Let me refer you to legal scholars from Dartmouth in 2009:

The Election Clauses found in Articles I and II of the United States Constitution limit the authority of state administrative agents to develop rules for federal elections — both congressional and presidential. These two Clauses prohibit non-legislative agents from adding to, changing, or contradicting legislatively enacted rules. The Clauses leave some room for non-legislative agents, but only if a State Legislature has clearly delegated regulatory power to them.

(Brown, 2008)

Or you can try this one:

Article II’s Presidential Electors Clause, however, confer authority to regulate federal elections specifically upon State “legislatures,” rather than granting it to States as a whole. An intratextual analysis of the Constitution reveals that the term “legislature” is best understood as referring solely to the entity within each state comprised of representatives that has the general authority to pass laws. 

(Morley, 2015)

Then there are also SCOTUS cases, including McPherson v. Blacker, where the court ruled that a state’s legislature may delegate its authority to select Presidential electors, but must do so through a legislative act. Before that case, most state legislatures selected their Presidential electors directly.

In short, there are administrative agencies that can select electors, but the procedure must be done in accordance with the instructions and limitations put in place by that state’s legislature. There are no states that I am aware of that permitted the use of unstaffed drop boxes, or those maintained by third parties. The fact that election committees carried out policies and procedures without following the direction of the legislatures means that any votes cast by those rules are unconstitutional.

Of course, we will never know because not one case arising from the 2020 election was decided on evidence or merit, because every one of them was dismissed on procedural grounds.

I can guarantee you that the next election will face similar shenanigans. It’s as if there is a nationwide conspiracy that is taking its direction from a central committee. There is no reason at this point to believe that the events and shenanigans from the last election will be any different.

So to those of you on the right who are busy arguing over whether Trump or DeSantis would be the better candidate- do you really think that it will matter, knowing that the left will ensure a win for their candidate no matter what?

Show Trials Continue

Half of the nation supports tossing the Republican candidate in jail, confiscating his property, and allowing one state (whether it be Colorado or New York) ban a candidate from running for President. These are the same people who, just four years ago, were advocating putting you into camps. They still want you in camps.

As for Trump, I have been saying this since January 7, 2021– the left will never allow Trump to enter the Oval office again. He will wind up in prison, where he will be killed. He had a chance to disappear into exile, and he chose not to take that chance and stayed until they revoked his passport. It will ultimately cost him and his family their lives and fortunes.

The one who IS president is weaponizing government to the point that a person who is a whistleblower that detailed the corruption of the Oval office’s occupant taking bribes has now been tossed in the Gulag. Now Biden himself is saying that this destroys the impeachment inquiry that has been initiated against him.

The message is clear: anyone who opposes the revolution that is currently underway will be tossed into the gulag. That’s why we can’t allow our weapons to be taken from us.

The show trials continue. Keep an eye on local canaries. Each of you should have a list of local Republican donors and politicians that serve as canaries. When they start disappearing, you should, too.

They are working their way down the list.

Black Ops

OK, so I couldn’t resist the play on words. Still, 20 US cities paid more than $80 million in “settlements“ to BLM and Antifa.

  • Seattle just agreed to pay $10 million to 50 rioters injured by police in 2020.
  • Denver is paying $4.7 million to 300 BLM rioters arrested in 2020.
  • Philadelphia is paying them $9 million.
  • New York City is shelling out $13 million.
  • In total, $890+ million in taxpayer dollars is going to pay out BLM protestors in 20 US cities.

Democrats are bankrolling rioters with our tax dollars so they can continue to riot. That’s why we continue to see the same people all over the country rioting for the latest causes. They’re employees — not activists. It’s an industry and we’re all paying for it.

This funding will be used to cause even more mayhem in the coming election year.

Hacking Voting Machines

This comes in on the heels of reports of election shenanigans in DC. In a courtroom drama scene that seems right out of a dystopian television show, a computer science professor from the University of Michigan demonstrated how to hack a dominion voting machine in a Georgia courtroom on Friday.

Using a machine set up for a Presidential election between George Washington and Benedict Arnold, the professor borrowed a pen from the defense attorney and used it to hack a voting machine in real time, changing vote counts, and causing it to execute routines that changed votes.

The professor has come under fire after he wrote a report outlining dozens of vulnerabilities in the software on Dominion voting machines. One of the ones he found was an arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability that can be exploited to spread malware from a county’s central election management system (EMS) to every voting machine in its jurisdiction. This makes it possible to cause changes in large numbers of voting machines without needing physical access to any of them. This would allow an attacker to defeat the technical and procedural protections the state of Georgia has in place.

At this point, the ONLY way to ensure the security and integrity of elections is to have paper balloting, which allows effective auditing and accountability. Electronic devices are simply not secure enough to ensure that elections are on the up and up.

In Case You Were Wondering

If the election in 2024 was going to be rigged, remember that in the 2020 election, 353 counties in 29 states had more registered voters than they did residents. Now we know that in 2023, registered voters in Washington, DC are 131% of the population. There is no reason to think that this phenomenon is restricted to DC.

So now ask yourself if it matters whether you vote for Trump or DeSantis.

Voting is no longer a viable option for avoiding the train wreck that is coming.

Mooting

Taking a page from New York’s antigun Democrats in attempting to thwart SCOTUS, Colorado’s SecState has announced that she will put Trump back on the ballot despite that state’s Supreme Court ruling that he is ineligible. They aren’t doing this because they are trying to be kind. They are doing this because they are hoping that SCOTUS will declare that the issue is moot, then fail to take up the case. If they can push it out until the court recesses in May, it’s a done deal that won’t be addressed before the court reconvenes in October.

At the same time, Maine has announced that they also will be removing Trump from the ballot. So far, that is 14 electoral votes already in Biden’s pocket, with another 256 in play. As I pointed out before, this is the game plan: to win the election without having to cheat as much this time.

First Domino?

Now that the Colorado Supreme Court has disqualified Trump from holding any public office, will this be the first domino? Are we seeing the first steps towards the 2024 cheat? Is this the next step in an American dictatorship?

Here is the tracker. This is important. Colorado is out of play for Trump, meaning that even if he DOES get the Republican nomination, he has just lost 10 electoral votes. Now Biden doesn’t have to cheat or even run for office in that state. He is the default winner. Watch this closely. If only ten states disqualify Trump, there is no point in even having the election. It’s a done deal.

The Republicans have no balls. If they did, Colorado delegates would not be seated at the convention.

It’s a good thing that the Democrats saved our Democracy, eh?

Enemy of the People

Remember when AOC was advocating an enemies list? They had a website and everything. They were openly talking about targeting Trump supporters and putting them in reeducation camps. They have been making those lists since the 2020 election. The post office is tracking who gets what, like NRA mailers, Trump fundraising requests, and other markers of freedom support.

It turns out that they never stopped in that effort. The Federal prosecutors have a list of people who supported, retweeted, or made any comments in support of Donald Trump. They aren’t just going after him, his cabinet, his lawyers, and anyone else in his inner circle. That’s just the start. They have an official list of enemies of the people. We in gun circles have long said that the only reason for a firearm registry is to facilitate confiscation. Likewise, the only reason for a list of Trump supporters is to populate the reeducation camps that they have already told us we will be sent to.

People have called me a paranoid asshole for over 30 years because I have taken the position that gun ownership means being able to resist government tyranny. Now the left is coming right out and telling you their plan to haul you off for reeducation. Do you still think I am paranoid?

The camps are coming. HRC announced it, as we talked about less than two months ago. Keep an eye out for people who start disappearing. There is no longer any doubt- they are coming. It is now just a matter of timing.

My theory is that Trump will be defeated in one fashion or another, and then there will be an enabling incident that will either occur organically or will be staged. That will be all the excuse that they need to start things off.

Rush your preparations to completion.

  • Make sure that you have guns, body armor, magazines, and ammunition.
  • Cache some of them off site. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.
  • Know who the people in your area are. Know where the liberals live. Try to figure out who the informers are.
  • Know how to escape your home neighborhood and your job on foot. Have a BOB in your vehicle. They may come for you while you aren’t home.
  • Practice an escape and evasion plan.

Do it. Your life will probably depend on it. If they DO come for you, don’t go quietly in the hope that they will let you go or kill you last. The Soviets have a road built by the residents of the Gulags- there are a million people’s bones in the pavement of that road.
