On Gaetz

Ignore RadioMouth Weber, whose lips were apparently loaded by Kevin McCarthy, who is a notorious liar.

Leading Congressional and national Democrats are admitting the allegations against former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) being investigated by the House Ethics Committee are unsubstantiated. Additionally, many of Gaetz’s colleagues across the aisle, even if begrudgingly, are also offering praise of his legislative record.

During his over seven years in Congress, Gaetz—despite the corporate media spin—cultivated a reputation as a serious legislator willing to reach across the partisan aisle on issues, including drug policy, the ethics of congressional stock trading, antitrust action, and experimental treatments for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)....

You don't have to be smarter than a chipmunk to know who's out to push Gaetz over the cliff.  You just have to be smarter than Weber.  And he's still working on "chipmunk-level."

More Trump, Less War

The resistance to Trump, aside from the likelihood that Epstein's list (and Diddy's) will be public soon, comes from the moneyed interests--specifically, the moneyed interests behind Permanent War.

That's because of statements like this, made by Trump:

...Every day this proxy battle in Ukraine continues we risk global war. We must be absolutely clear that our objective is to immediately have a total secession of hostilities. All shooting has to stop. This is the central issue. We need peace without delay.

In addition there must also be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire Globalist Neocon establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad while they turn us into a Third World country and a Third World dictatorship right here at home. The State Department, the Defense bureaucracy, the intelligence services and all of the rest need to be completely overhauled and reconstituted. To fire the Deep Staters and put America first we have to put America First.

Finally, we have to finish the process we began under my administration of fundamentally reevaluating NATO's purpose and NATO's mission. The foreign policy establishment keeps trying to pull the world into conflict with a nuclear armed Russia based on the LIE that Russia represents our greatest threat. But the greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia. It's probably more than anything else ourselves and some of the horrible USA hating people that represent us--these Globalists want to squander all of America's strength, blood, and treasure chasing monsters and phantoms overseas while keeping us distracted from the havoc they're creating right here at home, these forces are doing more damage to America than Russia and China could ever have dreamed. Evicting the sick and corrupt establishment is the monumental task for the next president....

The second assignment?  Tear down Georgetown's school of Foreign Service War-making and Assassinations.  

The reason that RadioMouths like Jay Weber yap about Gaetz is simple:  his lips are loaded by people whose interests lie in war.  War is the real money and it's the real game.  Gaetz is a side-show.  He's the "SQUIRREL!!!!".

Why war?  Because the $Trillion-dollar interests not only make the weapons, but they "rebuild" the countries due to contracts signed by US-puppet "leaders", and extract the minerals, petroleum, and agricultural products from the conquered territories.  

Still don't get it?  Study the history of war.  It's almost always about gaining territory or gaining wealth.  Only the ignorant believe that 'it's about religion,' (albeit sometimes that was the excuse.)

Don't sacrifice your children to Dick Cheney and the holdings of BlackRock.  And don't sacrifice your common sense to RadioMouths who read scripts provided by the Get-Rich-On-War bunch.

Is It Hovde's "Give Up" Time?

It's not quite time for Hovde to concede.

Hovde should concede one second after (ex-) Sen. Casey of Pa. concedes.

Denial is a river in Pennsylvania......

CDC, NIH, Birx, and Fraudci

Ticker is hot under the collar because of some lying about sumpin' sumpin' vaccines.

Deaths followed, but should we really hang Fraudci, Birx, (et.al.) and the CEO of Pfizer--plus the hospital-chain CEO's?

Yes.  Yes we should.

...Deborah [Birx], you and the rest of so-called "public health" have deliberately and maliciously lied about many of these shots.

What's worse, you not only lied you used those lies to support mandates that have no foundation in law or the principles of public health whatsoever.  And finally, and the reason all of you should hang by the neck until dead (after judgment and conviction, of course) is that those lies in fact put others at increased risk.

A thing is not a vaccine if it fails to induce sterile immunity.  That is, it not only makes you unable to become ill it prevents you from being infected in the first place and by doing so it also prevents you from unwittingly (before you know you're seriously sick) infecting other people.

A non-sterilizing shot or other preparation is not a vaccine because it does not prevent you from infecting other people. ...

Ticker is a patient fellow.  He would wait until after trial and sentencing.

Suggestion for V. Putin

The Deep State/M-I-C has decided that a war with Russia is necessary.  Please send your children and grand-children immediately.

...This action is coming from the people deep inside the IC and State Dept who are committed to fomenting a serious conflict with Russia and Vladimir Putin as the White House is about to change hands....

 ...If long-range missiles were used by Ukraine, they originate from the U.S-NATO and they are deployed with the targeting of U.S-NATO.  Vladimir Putin clearly stated that if such weapons were used, Russia will not pretend or ignore that this is direct provocative engagement by NATO against Russia.  Knowing this, the people around Joe Biden have just deployed exactly what Putin warned about....

Hold on a second.  Maybe Vlad will read this before it's too late.

Dear Mr. Putin,

We have a suggestion for you.  Rather than escalating into country-on-country conflict over this flagrant hijacking and abuse of American might, think about using polonium as a "mineral additive" to the lunches of the Usual Suspects (you know who they are) in the State Department, M-I-C, and the Intelligence community.  We wouldn't mind if it were liberally sprinkled in the FBI's Executive Dining Room, either.

Sincerely,

Normal American Patriots. 

The Dance Craze

This is a lot of fun to watch.

Next time you meet your neighborhood Democrat, bust a move or two!

A Joke. That's Our Pentagon!

The Pentagon is the symbol of wasted tax money, assuming they can actually find it.

THE symbol.  They simply cannot pass an audit, yet get EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR BILLION DOLLARS/year.

In numbers?  $824,000,000.00

Not to worry.  The Finest Minds in D.C. are working on this.

Pentagon officials...stressed that they're making "good progress" toward a clean audit in 2028.

 A "clean audit" in Government-speak is not a high bar:

...The goal is to earn a clean audit, which means an audit finds financial statements are accurate and a qualified opinion says that while there are omissions and concerns, a government agency's finances are '"generally reliable."...

That is like a weather forecast:  generally reliable.  "See clouds?  Probably rain.  Or snow.  Or not."

Great to know our Armed Forces are "generally reliable."  Makes you feel so much safer, right?

Kimball's Fun With Quotes: Burnham & Cleta Mitchell

This guy Roger Kimball can assemble really good quotes and make a powerful column.  In this case, he righteously lauds Donald J Trump for every. damn. appointment. he has made so far.

First quote of note is from James Burnham, who quoted (!) a Frenchman on "The Rule."

...The usual rule is this: when Democrats win elections, they wield power. When Republicans win elections, they seek, or at least agree to, compromise.

In Suicide of the West, the political philosopher James Burnham quotes the nineteenth-century French writer Louis Veuillot, who summed up the essence of this political dialectic in one elegant sentence. Quand je suis le plus faible, je vous demande la liberté parce que tel est votre principe; mais quand je suis le plus fort, je vous l’ôte, parce que tel est le mien. “When I am the weaker, I ask you for my freedom, because that is your principle; but when I am the stronger, I take away your freedom, because that is my principle.”...

There are hundreds of examples of Republican girlish weakness; one was George HW Bush, another was Paul Ryan; then there was Eric Cantor, GWBush, Mike Pence, and Jeff Sessions--not to mention the (arguably) worst of them:  John McCain.  Note well:  all of them are "ex."  Only McCain has a really good excuse for that.

Then to Cleta Mitchell, who was dumped by local lawyers Folly & Lardbucket when it was clear that Cleta is a lawyer who believed in Constitutional principles:

... Responding to a CNN report that Trump is skipping FBI background checks for some of his cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard (Trump’s pick to be Director of National Intelligence), the gimlet-eyed attorney Cleta Mitchell observed that “Obama didn’t have FBI vet his nominees because the nominees were corrupt; Trump isn’t having FBI vet his nominees because the FBI is corrupt.” Bingo....

This is why Trump can attend a UFC event and the winning fighter hands Trump his victory belt.  This is why Trump can attend a UFC event and the whole crowd (less a few) chants "USA  USA  USA!!"

So much winning.  

Fox6 On Hovde's "Irregularity" Claim

 Finally, a reporter does the work without the Scott Bauer Matt Smith usual twits' slanders.

 ...FOX6 crunched the numbers on Milwaukee County’s more than 500 wards, which had a county-wide turnout of 88.9%.

The county’s unofficial election night results showed 25 wards with turnout of 100% or greater, including one place topping 200%....

The official explanation?

... The corrected numbers show the same number of votes cast as the earlier, unofficial results; the corrected numbers showed more modest voter turnout in the 90s....

That's Part One.  Part Two?

 ...Some Milwaukee County wards did, in fact, top 100%

Milwaukee Ward 335 hit 148% voter turnout and Ward 187 topped 118%.

Both are inside Marquette University's campus, with voting at the Alumni Memorial Union....

The kids move between academic years, which requires re-registration.  Wisconsin allows same-day, so that accounts for the >100% numbers around MU, UW-M, and MSOE.

But it's not necessarily over yet.

Hovde may (should) be looking at mail-in/drop-box signature verifications.  Remember that ballots matter more than votes, as ballots are the "parents" of actual votes.  Ballots can be mailed to all sorts of places and people.  Someone fills them out and signs the envelope as a verification that the voter actually voted that way.

Then the signature is compared to an on-file signature in the central-count facility.

Do all of them match?  Some of them?  

In the '20 election, the verifications disqualified notably less ballots (as a percentage of the total) than in previous elections.  IOW (using made-up-for-example numbers), if 6% were disqualified for 'match problems' in '16 and only 2% were disqualified in '20, why the difference?  Was that difference sufficient to produce the 20K vote difference?  Remember that there were (and still are) five highly-partisan cities over which one could spread that 20K, and remember that Milwaukee's election commissioner was congratulated by a DNC operative for 'finding what we needed' after the '20.  Also remember that there is video of someone stuffing a drop-box with dozens (hundreds) of ballots late at night in Milwaukee.  Think that was your 80-year-old Grandpa dropping his ballot off?  Yah, right.  Or, as the song says, "Eighty-one million votes, my ass."

Unfortunately, even if Hovde's crew finds 100,000 non-matching (but allowed) signatures, there is no way to UN-vote those ballots in a timely fashion.

You can count on Tony Evers to veto any legislation which remedies the drop-box/mail-in problems, of course, which proves beyond a doubt that there are zero problems with the system./sarcasm 

Now maybe Fox6 will FOIA Tony Evers' fake-name email account?  Or is that too much to ask?
