Texas filed a lawsuit against four states. They were required to file their briefs in response today. Predictably, these responses are mainly outrage that Texas would interfere with their election. Most legal experts do not believe the Supreme Court will even hear the case. However, 2020 is a weird year in every way, so we all need to wait and see.

Texas has support from 17 other states. That, at least, should give pause. In addition, the responses from those four states are from the Attorney Generals, not the legislatures. Technically, only the state legislature is authorized under the constitution to determine how elections are conducted. I am not sure if this will matter.

However, even if the Supreme Court does not hear this case, a lot of things are happening. One is the criminal case against Hunter Biden. Another is the Special Prosecutor who is investigating the origins of the Russian Collusion case. In addition, contrary to what is being reported in the MSM, there is a ton of evidence regarding systemic corruption. That evidence is going to continue to come out and there is the potential for some real bombshells. We all need to remember that the election is not over until January 6^th, when a joint session of congress will meet to decide. Then and only then does anything become official.

There is something else. Everyone has been frustrated because of the lack of obvious investigation by the FBI and/or the DOJ. But I went back and read the transcript of the speech by Donald Trump on December 2, 2020. The media downplayed this as just another Trump rant, but Trump said this may be the most important speech I’ve ever made:

President Trump National Address on The Election: “The Most Important Speech I Ever Made” – Full Video and Transcript… – The Last RefugeThe Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

“ This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our ongoing efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3rd elections.

On top of everything else, we have a company that’s very suspect. It’s name is Dominion, with the turn of a dial or the change of a chip, you could press a button for Trump and the vote goes to Biden. What kind of a system is this? We have to go to paper, maybe it takes longer. But the only secure system is paper. Not these systems that nobody understands, including in many cases, the people that run them. Although, unfortunately, I think they understand them far too well.

In one Michigan County, as an example, that used Dominion systems, they found that nearly 6,000 votes had been wrongly switched from Trump to Biden, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is what we caught. How many didn’t we catch? Are there 100s of other examples throughout the country? Are there 1000s? We just got lucky and they called it a glitch, but we found numerous glitches that evening. 96% of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly.

Frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted? Which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States, Dominion is a disaster.”

This reminded me that Trump signed an executive order regarding foreign interference in our election on September 12, 2018:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-imposing-certain-sanctions-event-foreign-interference-united-s

Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election. The assessment shall identify, to the maximum extent ascertainable, the nature of any foreign interference and any methods employed to execute it, the persons involved, and the foreign government or governments that authorized, directed, sponsored, or supported it. The Director of National Intelligence shall deliver this assessment and appropriate supporting information to the President, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.

The election was on November 03, 2020. This report is due on December 18, 2020. More importantly, this investigation is done by the DNI in consultation with other agencies, including the CIA and the NSA. This means if there is an investigation, it was done by our intelligence agencies, not the DOJ or the FBI.

That investigation is required to report:

(i) the extent to which any foreign interference that targeted election infrastructure materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, the tabulation of votes, or the timely transmission of election results; and

(ii) if any foreign interference involved activities targeting the infrastructure of, or pertaining to, a political organization, campaign, or candidate, the extent to which such activities materially affected the security or integrity of that infrastructure, including by unauthorized access to, disclosure or threatened disclosure of, or alteration or falsification of, information or data.

There are numerous reports of foreign interference in this election, particularly regarding Dominion software. Do you think that John Ratcliff, DNI, ignored that? One thing is certain, no one will know anything unless he or President Trump decides to tell you.

Like I said, a lot of moving parts here and most people commenting on this have no clue regarding what really matters. In the meantime, the Ayes of Texas themselves could change everything.

I am sure everyone was disappointed that the Supreme Court rejected the claim filed by PA representatives. However, as expected, the MSM is reporting misleading information. The Supreme Court did not reject the claim, they just refused to issue an emergency injunction overturning the election results in Pennsylvania. They case is still open and likely to be decided later. Since Pennsylvania clearly violated the law, the plaintiffs have a good chance of winning. Even the Chief Justice of the PA Supreme Court who wrote a consenting and dissenting opinion admitting that.

This may be good news. Just overturning Pennsylvania would not be enough to change the results of the election. In addition, while the complaint is legitimate, the specific impact of this breech is difficult to quantify. The case filed by the State of Texas is far more significant.  As of now, eight other states have joined in the lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that certain officials in Defendant States presented the pandemic as justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in ballots. That is easily proved.

Here is part of what is included in that lawsuit:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-texas-files-lawsuit-against-4-states-at-supreme-court-over-election-rules

“Elections for federal office must comport with federal constitutional standards. For presidential elections, each state must appoint its electors to the electoral college in a manner that complies with the Constitution,” Paxton said in a statement. “The Electors Clause requirement that only state legislatures may set the rules governing the appointment of electors and elections and cannot be delegated to local officials. The majority of the rushed decisions, made by local officials, were not approved by the state legislatures, thereby circumventing the Constitution.”

“Without Defendant States’ combined 72 electoral votes, President Trump presumably has 232 electoral votes, and former Vice President Biden presumably has 234. Thus, Defendant States’ electors will determine the outcome of the election. Alternatively, if Defendant States are unable to certify 37 or more electors, neither candidate will have a majority in the Electoral College, in which case the election would devolve to the U.S. House of Representatives under the Twelfth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

This could be a brilliant legal argument. It allows the Supreme Court to make a decision without being asked to directly determine the results of the election. The Court could simply remand this to the State Legislatures to either approve or reject the decisions made by local officials regarding this election. That would give State Legislatures, all controlled by Republicans, a valid excuse for rejecting vote by the slate of electors certified by the Governor(s). This would throw the election into congress on January 6, 2021. That would be a joint session of congress operating under unique rules. The House would choose the President, with each state getting two votes. Since Republicans control 27 states and Democrats control 21 states the advantage is for Trump. The Senate would choose the Vice President, also using two votes per state. If Republicans win one of two races in Georgia, they win there too.

In summary, while we would have liked the Supreme Court to issue the injunction in Pennsylvania, that was a rather crude attempt much less likely to succeed than the Texas lawsuit, particularly when 8 other states have joined in the lawsuit.

There is also an interesting development in Coffee County Georgia. The Board of Elections and Registration wrote a letter to the Secretary of State saying they cannot certify the electronic recount numbers, because of its inability to repeatably duplicate credible election results. It then states that “Any system, financial, voting, or otherwise that is not repeatable nor dependable should not be used.” This is very similar to what was reported in Antrim County, Michigan.

While the MSM is still pretending this is over, it obviously is not. If nothing changes, they will be right, and Joe Biden will be the next President. But there are a lot of things that could change before January 6, 2021 and it is only then that anyone will know for sure who will be the next President of the United States.

We do not know how the Supreme Court will respond to the Texas lawsuit. But even if it goes down the way of Pennsylvania, one thing is certain. This election won’t be over until January 6, 2021. That is good news, because nothing good has happened during 2020.

If you want to see how this really works, the following link discusses this in detail:

The Supreme Court deadline for a response from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the lawsuit filed by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly was today. The first paragraph of the response is significant:

Disclose.tv 🚨 on Twitter: “JUST IN – #Pennsylvania has filed its brief (requested by Alito) to the Supreme Court. They basically urge the court not to open pandora’s box even if federal laws of the US constitution have been violated. https://t.co/OId7w3GnNH” / Twitter

Kelly’s lawsuit was rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Supreme Court vacated a Commonwealth Court’s order preliminarily enjoining the Commonwealth from taking any further action regarding the certification of the results of the 2020 election.

The reasoning by the Supreme Court was not based on the merits of the suit, but rather on the doctrine of laches. That basically means they should have filed this before the election. One of the Justices, Chief Justice Saylor, filed a concurring and dissenting statement. He agreed that the court should not issue an injunctive relief restraining certification of the election. But then he went on to admit there are relevant substantial challenges regarding the constitutional validity of the new mail in voting scheme.

He also specifically said that “laches and prejudice” can never be permitted to amend the Constitution.

So far, no court has been willing to overturn the results of this election. That does not mean they did not find serious concerns, but rather that they don’t want to “disenfranchise voters.” This pattern has been consistent with all the court hearings. The courts are terrified of overturning an election.

It would be naïve to think that the Supreme Court would be any different. But it would also be naïve to think they are not very concerned about the numerous and substantial allegations of systemic fraud.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth lawyers make the same argument. That no court has ever issued an order nullifying a governor’s certification of presidential election results. They basically warn the Supreme Court that if they do this, the result would be a total loss of public trust in our constitutional order. But one could argue that this is exactly why the Supreme Court should act. There already is a lack of trust in this election, there is substance evidence of systemic fraud and failure to act disenfranchises those voters who did not cheat.

I still think the safest decision for the Supreme Court would be to issue an injunction and delegate the responsibility for determining the results of the election to the state legislature. That is, after all, what the constitution requires.

This is clearly a very important and high-risk decision for the Supreme Court. If Justice Roberts were still in control, the court would almost certainly punt. But Justice Roberts no longer controls this court, it appears to be Justice Clarence Thomas. We saw the first example of the Thomas court recently when they not only blocked the restrictions on religious freedom imposed by Governor Cuomo in New York, they vacated the decision approving these restrictions imposed by Governor Newsom in California. The current court, with the replacement of Justice Ginsburg by Justice Barrett cannot be predicted. It is important to know why the court under Roberts made the decision to not block this action by Cuomo because he said it was not necessary for the Supreme Court to rule on such a serious and difficult question. In the Supreme Court opinion overturning that, Justice Gorsuch wrote something very interesting:

20A87 Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo (11/25/2020) (supremecourt.gov)

“I can only surmise that much of the answer lies in a particular judicial impulse to stay out of the way in times of crisis. But if that impulse may be understandable or even admirable in other circumstances, we may not shelter in place when the Constitution is under attack. Things never go well when we do.”

We will soon know. The evidence of systemic fraud is obvious to everyone, except the MSM who pretends to be the sole source of authority regarding this election. One must assume that the Supreme Court justices are aware of this. The question is when is enough enough? Will the Supreme Court “shelter in place” or act because the Constitution is under attack? If Ginsburg were on this court, with Roberts in charge, the answer would obviously be to shelter in place. But, while Roberts remains Chief Justice, he still only gets one vote. Hold your breath.

Sometimes It only takes one to change everything. The Trump campaign has obtained legal authorization to do a forensic examination of 22 Dominion voting machines in Antrim Country, Michigan. The examination will take about 8 hours and it will take about 48 hours to report the results. This examination is done by experts who know exactly how these machine work. Remember that Antrim County is the place where 6,000 votes were incorrectly reported for Joe Biden. The Michigan Secretary of State blamed this on “operator error.” We will soon know the facts.

If these machines were altering votes from Trump to Biden, then that would raise questions about the results nationwide. This is easy to understand. On September 29, 1982, three people died after taking Tylenol It later developed that someone had laced the Tylenol with cyanide.

Tylenol Poison Spree 1982 Becomes Crisis Management Case Study | Time

Tylenol immediately recalled all its products nationwide. Johnson & Johnson then issued a warning urging people not to take Tylenol and established a hotline for worried customers to use. They then changed the way Tylenol was packed, providing a seal proving that the contents of the bottle had not been breached.

As far as I can tell, a total of 7 people died from Tylenol laced with cyanide. I don’t believe anyone was ever charge or convicted regarding this case. Today, virtually all medicine is put in bottle with seals verifying that the contents have not been contaminated.

If one or more of those Dominion machines were compromised, in a system designed to change votes from Donald J. Trump to Joe Biden, the results will be like the Tylenol case.  The results of every Dominion machine, nationwide, will be suspect. Even the usual suspects at CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX News will understand that.

It is possible that those machines were not compromised. We will soon know. If machines were compromised in Antrim County, they were compromised everywhere. Antrim County is a sparsely populated county located in the northern part of the Southern Peninsula of Michigan. The entire population is about 24,000 people. People in Michigan may have driven through Charlevoix or Petoskey, but the county seat is Bellaire, which has a population of about 1,200 people. This is actually a beautiful part of the country, but hardly the type of place where one would bother trying to steal an election.

If you want to check out Bellaire, here is the link:

Bellaire | Michigan

This all happened as the result of a lawsuit by William Bailey, a member of the Antrim County Planning commission. He was upset because he of the results of a proposal to allow retail marijuana shops and processors within the Central Lake village limits. Mr. Bailey is a realtor in Central Lake, and he opposed this. There were 524 votes and it ended in a tie. But when they were retabulated on November 6^th, three ballots were damaged in the process, resulting in the proposal passing by 1 vote. This was enough to get a Judge to authorize the forensic examination.

It is not disputed that the Dominion voting machines initially gave the wrong results. Here is the article from the Detroit Free Press trying to explain what happened:

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/06/antrim-county-vote-glitch-software-update/6194745002/

If you read this article, it raises a lot of concerns. In this case, it may have been an innocent mistake, but the Dominion software can be compromised. That alone should send shockwaves, if only the MSM would bother to notice.

One thing is sure, at some point we will know, but incredibly that may not be until January 6^th. That is the date congress meets in special session and decides who was elected president. Ultimately, that is the only date that really matters.

Anyone living in California knows that we have the worst governor in the nation. That would seem to be an impossible task, when considering people like Witmer in Michigan and Cuomo in New York, but Newsom pulled it off. Up until recently, he got away with it. But he has now been slapped down twice. The first time was when Kevin Kiley got a judge to issue a permanent injunction against Newsom regarding his illegal order to send out mail-in ballots to every registered voter. Think about that for a minute. That judge issued an order that basically disqualified the entire 2020 election in California. While that may not change the outcome in 2020, it absolutely prevents Newsom from doing that again in 2022 or 2024, assuming he is still governor at that time.

But more importantly, the court rejected the arbitrary decision by Newsom to limit attendance at worship services. Now that case is more significant, not just because of the Supreme Court decision, but by the way they handled it. The Supreme Court did not directly deal with the California decision by Newsom, it just remanded that decision back to the 9^th Circuit Court. Specifically, the Supreme Court vacated the Ninth Circuit ruling against California churches and sent the case back to the lower courts for reconsideration considering its opinion on the Brooklyn Diocese Case.

That is the way the Supreme Court works. It rarely makes decisions the way one would expect, instead it sends things back down the chain for review. In this case, the 9^th Circuit Court has been put on notice. “Fix this or we will fix it for you.” It would be extremely embarrassing for the 9^th Circuit Court to be overruled by the Supreme Court, particularly when the Court provided such explicit instruction on how to look at things.

That brings us to the litigation before the Supreme Court regarding the election in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit filed by the Trump campaign, not based on the merits, but rather on the doctrine of “laches.” In a bizarre twist of logic, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed the Trump campaign lawsuit because it was not filed until after the election. Apparently since the Trump campaign did not seek relief, before they knew the election was actually stolen, they waited too long.

Justice Alito set the date for opposition papers to be filed as of December 9^th. That is the day after the so-called safe harbor date of the state selecting electors six days prior to the meeting of the electoral college. The following article points out why this may be extremely significant:

Is There Another Scenario That Makes Justice Alito’s Dec. 9 Response Date Meaningful in Different Way? (redstate.com)

I wonder if anyone from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will bother to read this article and would be stunned if they did anything about it. What this mean is that if the Supreme Court accepts the Trump campaign appeal, it voids the results of the election, not based on the merits of the case, but rather on the fact that the lower court ruled incorrectly on the law itself. More importantly, if they do this after December 9^th, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, by definition, with not be given the opportunity to fix the ruling because it will be out of time. Talk about poetic justice.

Even if this decision only directly affected Pennsylvania, and Biden would still have enough votes, technically to win the electoral college, this would go off like a bomb. Odds would skyrocket that congress would be compelled to at least debate the legitimacy of the entire election. Remember that congress and only congress can actually choose the next president. That would require a mandatory special session of congress and the vote would be two votes per state in both the house and the senate. Republicans easily win that contest.

Currently there is already one Congressional Representative planning on rejecting the electoral college vote and calling for a debate. All that is necessary is for one senator to join him, and this is at least debated. Naïve people think such a debate would be unlikely to change the outcome, but that is not necessarily true. Particularly, if Pennsylvania electors are rejected and there are other states where the outcome is more than a little murky.

We are really talking about unchartered waters here, so any predictions are impossible. Most wise people think Biden has locked this up, unless something really big happens to change that. It would be foolish to believe that unprecedented events are about to unfold. But unprecedented events happen all the time, they just catch us by surprise because they are unprecedented.

Now throw in just a tiny thought. Democrats are promising to stack the Supreme Court if they win the Presidency and the Senate. Those Supreme Court justices must know that and even the liberal justices are likely appalled. Self-preservation is the first instinct of almost everyone and that includes Supreme Court Justices.

In the meantime, watching the California Scheming provide valuable insight on how the Supreme Court really works that provides some insight into what is at least possible.

Anyone paying attention has known about the blatant corruption in Democratic controlled cities. This dates back centuries.  The corruption in New York City is well documented. William M. “Boss” Tweed took control of the government following the 1869 election. His downfall was spectacular, all the result of a sleigh accident that happened on January 21, 1871.  James Watson, a county controller, was hit in the head by a horse during this incident and died a week later. The Tweed machine realized this was a problem, so sent someone to guard Watson’s estate. They also tried, and failed, to destroy Watson’s records. But a replacement auditor, Matthew O’Rourke got access to those records and the resulting stories in the New York Times lead to Tweed’s total collapse. He finally went to trial in January 1873 ending with a hung jury. He was retried in November 1873 and convicted. He managed to escape prison but was found in Spain and eventually arrested by U.S. Authorities and brought back to New York City on November 23, 1876. He died in jail, in 1878.

There have been numerous documented incidents of corruption in other places, but probably none more than Philadelphia. Chicago, of course, is famous for the Machine. But, up until now, it has been difficult, if not impossible, to actually break up the Tammany Hall basically ran New York from 1789 until 1934, when Mayor Fiorello La Guardia was elected. Tammany Hall was finally defeated completely in 1966, when John V. Lindsay took office. For much of that time the leadership of Tammany Hall, theoretically a benevolent organization, was identical to the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party.

However, knowing about systemic corruption and proving it are very different things. Boss Tweed was only done in by an accident and while he left, Tammany Hall remained. But we live in a very different world than that dominated by Tammany Hall. Today, we often have video of major events and information travels around the world at the speed of light. For a long time, information was controlled by major newspapers and television networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC. That is no longer the case today, and after this election, those entities are doomed to irrelevance and eventually extinction.

Social media also tried, and failed, to suppress information. They did succeed is suppressing information long enough to influence this election. But they may not have succeeded in putting Joe Biden in the Oval Office.

Everything changed yesterday when during the hearing in Georgia, a video tape was played that shows blatant corruption during the Presidential election. There were numerous reports of a fake water leak, which resulted in kicking Republicans and most Democrats out of the State Farm Arena in Fulton, County, Georgia, where votes were being counted. But what people did not know is that Republicans had obtained a copy of video footage showing what happened during the four hours while Republican poll watchers were kicked out of the building. A woman was observed pulling suitcases holding ballots from under tables and then a team of four people frantically counting ballots. Her mother, who was also in the same room, made a huge mistake by wearing a T Shirt saying, “Lady Ruby and her purse, which she left on the table, says “LaRuby.” She has now been allegedly identified as Ruby Freeman, owner of “LaRuby’s Unique Treasures. While some of the Democrats on that committee were desperately trying to unsee this video, it was literally seen ‘round the world.’  Freeman had a Facebook page and made numerous political statements in favor of Joe Biden. Apparently on November 7, 2020, she bragged about Biden’s victory declared by the MSM and even included a photo of her working during the election.

This instantly motivated two people, Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State, and Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia. Raffensperger, ironically a Republican, finally conceded that this was evidence of vote counting not done legally or with proper supervision. Governor Kemp has demanded the Georgia Secretary of State conduct a signature audit of ballots.

Thinks are now going to move at the speed of light, and they won’t be limited to Georgia. When you combine this with the altered ballots found during a sample audit in Arizona, don’t be surprised to see similar action in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Nevada in addition to Georgia and Arizona. We may even see some kind of audit in Virginia.

Those boxes in Georgia probably had about 24,000 ballots, but based on other testimony, those same ballots may have been counted multiple times. This is way beyond bad.

In addition, it is increasingly clear that the star witness for Rudy Giuliani, Col Phil Waldron has access to inside information. He claims that experts witnessed Dominion communication with Frankfurt on election day. He says he has a team of experts looking at the data. This is consistent with the U.S. seizing control of a server in Germany, although the details are more than a little murky.

Trump had a meeting with William Barr. After that meeting, the DOJ released a statement saying that the DOJ investigation continues. When asked about Barr’s future, Trump said he will let us know in a couple of weeks. This must have been some meeting. Trump obviously believes this election was stolen and it seems likely that he confronted Barr with evidence he was not receiving from U.S. Attorneys and the FBI.

Mr. Barr just may be a man on a mission, furious at being mislead by those who report to him. I would not underestimate him. But regardless, that video tape changes everything and at a minimum a whole lot of people are finally doing some serious investigations. The star of that video was Ruby Freeman, she is definitely a snot, that this could very well be the snot heard round the world.

TDM

Note: There are numerous sources used in this article, including History.com. There are so many reports about that video that it seemed unfair to choose only one. In addition, this video was shown on live TV during the Georgia hearings.

Sometimes little things mean a lot. A judge in Arizona ordered the audit of 100 duplicate ballots by the GOP. The result was that 2 of these ballots had been illegally altered. One was changed from Trump to Biden. The other was changed from Trump to no one. The impact of this seems small, only 2 out of 100 ballots. But what matters is that this is hard evidence of fraud. The first hard evidence that ballots were deliberately altered to help Joe Biden. The judge immediately ordered a larger audit.

Here is why that really matters. Up until now, all the evidence has been by eyewitnesses who said they saw something that looked suspicious. There has been forensic evidence that the results were mathematically impossible.  But what was missing was hard evidence that votes had actually been altered. That just changed.

The MSM immediately tried to cover this up, which is a good indication of the significance of this event. They put out another comment about election fraud being extremely rare and the lack of evidence. However, this is hard evidence of actual fraud. Not by a single person trying to vote illegally, but rather fraud that can only be explained as a deliberate coordinated effort to change the results of an election.

While the MSM will ignore this, it will set off shockwaves to the people who matter. The State legislators are understandably very reluctant to “disenfranchise” people who voted in good faith. They believe the witnesses. They believe the forensic evaluations. But they needed more if they were to take such drastic action. Now, thanks to one Judge in Arizona, they have a path to do that. A specific type of audit, on a small sample, that provided clear evidence of systemic fraud. Real evidence. Evidence that in one case a ballot was taken away from Trump and given to Biden and another where a vote was just taken away from Trump.

It is important to remember that all scientific studies start by evaluating samples. The vaccine tests only involved a few thousand people. That is the way science works. There is a very careful analysis of a representative sample and the results are used to estimate results over an entire population. Previously, election recounts were nothing more than checking the math on counts already submitted. This time was very different. They looked at specific ballots, in this case duplicate ballots, to see if they were altered. Duplicate ballots were ballots that were not read properly by the machine and hand duplicated to be processed.

The bottom line is if these ballots were deliberately altered, then there is reason to believe that there was a coordinate effort to steal an election. If Democrats were smart, they would try to find who altered these ballots and throw them under the bus as a one-off rouge actor. But if they don’t do that, it will at least appear as though this was part of a much larger scheme. It is easy, really, if you are willing to deliberately alter two ballots, you are willing to commit a crime. People who would do this would not stop after two ballots.

If they audit more ballots and find no more like this, then this goes away. But if they audit 500 ballots and find 10 that were altered, all to favor Biden, that would be huge. It would be impossible to explain that as an honest mistake. It may seem like a small amount, but it is enough to raise questions about the entire election.

One of the problems with this election is that Democrats were stunned by the size of the Trump vote. In desperation they took action to change the unacceptable results. In doing this, they made mistakes. They left an audit trail. Now, the Trump team and the other people fighting back against this fraud just got a blueprint for changing things. There are duplicate ballots processed in every state. The search is on.

This is obviously late in the game and the clock is ticking. But sometimes, the most important things are as simple as learning how to read and right.

Always remember that any story by the MSM must be considered suspect. The most recent is the alleged quote by William Barr that the DOJ has no Evidence of Fraud affecting 2020 Election outcome. That, of course, has been trumpeted in the MSM as proof that Trump’s allegations of massive fraud are based on no evidence.

However, I never judge someone by quotes in the MSM since these are so often distorted and misrepresented. So before responded to this, I went back and looked at the interview of William Barr by Wolf Blitzer. In that interview, Barr said:

“Elections that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion.”

Then I went back and read the exact quote in the AP:

Disputing Trump, Barr says no widespread election fraud (apnews.com)

U.S. attorneys and FBI agents have been working to follow up specific complaints and information they’ve received, but they’ve uncovered no evidence that would change the outcome of the election. “To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,

To put this in perspective, last month Barr issued a directive to U.S. attorneys across the country allowing them to pursue any “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities, if they existed, before the 2020 presidential election was certified.

This reminds me of a serious limitation in the English language. English uses the word we to mean very different things. For example, I might talk to a client and say: “we are independent agents.” We, in that case, includes our agency associates, but does not include the person being talked to. But we can also mean everyone present. For example, if there is a fire, I might say “we need to leave now!” In that case, we means everyone there.

One of the things I noticed is that Trump did not criticize Barr. Neither did Rudy Giuliani. The statement by Giuliani said: “with all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation.

So, the question is, what did Barr mean by “we.” He certainly meant the U.S. attorneys and FBI agents. He was saying that these guys did not uncover any evidence that would change the outcome of the election. But that “we” would not necessarily include other investigations, done by other people. If Barr really believed that mail-in voting would result in massive fraud, he just may have authorized someone else to investigate. A secret unit like that used to catch people like Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames. If such a unit existed, the U.S. attorneys and the FBI agents mentioned by Barr might not even know it existed. And when he says “we” have not seen fraud on a massive scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election, it really matters who he meant by “we.”

I honestly don’t know what William Barr meant by “we,” but I do know that President Trump did not criticize William Barr, he criticized the DOJ. Catherine Herridge, who is a well-connected investigative reporter tweeted:

“from a DOJ spokesperson: “Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the Department has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election. That is not what the Associate Press report nor what the Attorney General states. The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible.”

Barr also made John Durham a Special Counsel before the election. That means if Biden is the next President, he is going to be greeting by a Special Counsel. Republicans are almost certainly going to demand that the Hunter Biden tapes be included within the scope of the Special Counsel investigation. That is inconsistent with Barr being part of the cover-up.

There is a lot happening. A lot of evidence is being presented. Whistleblowers are surfacing. More and more data is being presented that appears to document fraud. We should not discount such analysis, because there are people in jail today because of similar forensic analysis.

The point being, that it would be naïve to assume that William Barr has crossed over to the dark side. Instead we should pay attention not only to what he said, but perhaps more importantly what he did not say. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear a lot more from William Barr before this election is finalized.

Thanksgiving was cancelled in California, because of COVID-19. The rules were no more than 6 people, no more than two families, you had to eat outdoors and if you used the restroom, it had to be sanitized after each use. So, we went to a Turkey Celebration of Life Ceremony, which has fewer restrictions.

Following is the invitation I wrote for this event:

 Celebration of Life Ceremony

Thomas P. Turkey

November 26, 2020

6:30 p.m.

Due to Covid 19 restrictions, the ceremony will be held at an undisclosed location known only to those were directly impacted by his life and subsequent death.

 Tom’s sacrifice will always be remembered, even during our sorrow, as a reminder that even tragedy can result in good as we gather together to honor his life and his great personal sacrifice.

I also provided a short eulogy:

In Loving Memory of Tom Turkey

Tom Turkey was born on a farm in Woodland, California on May 5, 2020. He led a wonderful life, well fed, and surrounded by friends.  He died on October 5, 2020 when he made the ultimate sacrifice so that others may celebrate Thanksgiving. Tom went to Turkey heaven, embraced by friends who flocked together in celebration of his life

I also found an interview between Tom Turkey and Arcangel Michael that took place when Tom arrived at Turkey Heaven:

Interview with Tom Turkey by Arcangel (AA) Michael

AA Michael: So, Tom, welcome to Turkey Heaven. Tell me a little something about your trip.

Tom: Well, I must admit, it was a bit of a shock. My whole life had been living in comfort, well fed, warm and surrounded by my friends. I am not exactly sure what happened, but at some point, I lost my head and everything after that is a blur.

AA Michael: Do you remember any of your “after life experiences?”

Tom:  I started out feeling very cold, literally freezing. But I was finally given a chance to thaw out. After that I distinctly remember being warm and toasty, and obviously my last meal was great, because I was feeling stuffed. I was surrounded by warm and friendly people who all praised my virtues. I was told I had good taste and smelled wonderful. Several people said they wanted more of me and that I had made their thanksgiving special.

AA Michael:  Do you have any advice for your fellow turkeys.

Tom: Life is short and can end unexpectly. Enjoy each day as if it is your last. Stay close to your friends and treat every meal as something special. Beware of anyone carrying an axe.

The MSM, including FOX News has been lying to everyone. How many times have your heard that Donald Trump is accusing Democrats of stealing this election, without any evidence? They would have you believe that this is just some weird conspiracy theory by someone who cannot accept defeat.

Ironically much of this is promoted by the same people who pushed the idiotic Russian Collusion hoax for nearly four years. But facts are stubborn things, and the facts are out there no matter how hard people try to ignore them.

The hearings in Pennsylvania and Arizona were far more important than anyone realizes. The evidence supporting systemic fraud was so overwhelming that at times the audience literally gasped. Naturally, the MSM did not report on this and, so far, the courts have been unwilling to even hear the evidence. This could lead one to assume that all is lost. As President Trump said, it is hard to even get this to the Supreme Court. However, remember that in 2000 the Supreme Court did not finally decide until literally the last possible day.

But the real audience here is not the legal system or even the Supreme Court. It is not even the American People. Most people already know about the fraud. The real audience are those people in control of state legislatures and the United States congress. None of them want to be in this position. Perhaps Rudy Giuliani said it best in Arizona when he said that the U.S. constitution put this on their shoulders and history will hold them accountable if they fail to act responsibly.

The MSM did not watch those hearings in Pennsylvania and Arizona. There has been almost no reporting on this. But some people were paying attention. That includes state legislatures in other states. It also includes voters in those states. The same voters that put those legislators in power. The same people who are calling their representatives, sending them e-mails and sending text messages. If you are a legislator in a state like Michigan, or Wisconsin, or Georgia and you saw those hearings it likely made a real impact on you. Suddenly, you are confronted with the reality that the MSM has been lying to you, again. You are confronted with the reality that yes; this election was the most corrupt in U.S. history. Yes, they are trying to steal an election. Yes, if you don’t stop this now, they will do it again. Only next time they will target you, not Donald Trump.

There is currently a hearing being televised in Michigan. Rudy Giuliani was not invited nor any of his witnesses. But there are still a lot of eyewitness accounts of what sure looks like systemic fraud. One of the problems is that these people are extremely believable. One may have a difference of opinion regarding the significance of what they observed, but they certainly look and sound like real people describing real events.

But perhaps the best witness is Joe Biden. If Biden becomes president, there will instantly be about 70 million furious people who believe this election was stolen from Donald Trump. If you combine that with a President Biden who has zero communication skills and is proposing things unacceptable to almost everyone, then it becomes a perfect storm. If Biden becomes President and he mucks things up, which is almost certain, the country will become united. Not behind Biden, that will never happen, but united in holding people accountable for letting this happen on their watch. When the team loses big time, the first person fired is the coach. Usually, his entire staff goes out the door right behind him.

It would take a lot of courage for state legislatures to overturn this election. It would take even more courage for congress to refuse to accept the vote by the electoral college and vote to re-elect Donald Trump. It would take a mountain of courage for the Supreme Court to overturn this election, regardless of the evidence. But at least some of them are realizing that there is high risk for them personally, no matter what they do. That begs the question: Is it riskier to stop Joe Biden from becoming President of the United States or to fail to stop him when you know he is not up to the job?

One thing is clear to anyone watching those hearings. This election was a gigantic fraud. There is a ton of evidence already and more is on the way. History is not kind to people in power who ignore warnings like this and fail to act. Those who ignore the truth will face the consequences.
