California\u2019s rigged elections are difficult to defend…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

California Democrats have\u00a0rigged<\/a>\u00a0another election, and outsider Spencer Pratt has been bumped from the Los Angeles mayoral race<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0On Election Day, Pratt\u2019s lead over third-place Nithya Raman was so large that she publicly\u00a0cried<\/a>\u00a0over her loss.\u00a0\u00a0After a week of mail-in-ballot shenanigans, Raman has surged to secure a coveted spot on the November ballot \u2014 a statistical\u00a0improbability<\/a>\u00a0in any jurisdiction familiar with arithmetic and basic ethics.<\/p>\n

This \u201ccome from behind victory\u201d has made it difficult for the usual election-fraud-deniers to pretend that California\u2019s elections are free, fair, legal, or remotely based in reality.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0I noticed that National Review writer Dan McLaughlin \u2014 who spent a lot of time after 2020\u2019s stolen election defending Joe Biden\u2019s \u201cvictory\u201d \u2014 felt compelled to make this\u00a0small concession<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m suspicious of the voting in LA.\u00a0\u00a0For now, in the absence of evidence, that\u2019s just vague suspicion unsupported by proof, but the vote-counting process reeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wrote a number of essays describing the historic irregularities of the 2020 election after Joe Biden supposedly \u201cwon\u201d more than fifteen million extra votes than Barack Obama had secured in his re-election victory.\u00a0\u00a0In the 2020 election, President Trump\u00a0won<\/a>\u00a0almost every traditional bellwether county across the country by double-digits.\u00a0\u00a0He expanded his voter support in almost every demographic and did better with black voters than any Republican since Eisenhower.\u00a0\u00a0He exceeded expectations in swing states.\u00a0\u00a0Economic variables and historic precedent strongly forecast a Trump victory.\u00a0\u00a0It was entirely reasonable to look at the statistical improbabilities of the 2020 election outcome (another race that was \u201cdecided\u201d more than four days after Election \u201cDay\u201d) and conclude that the numbers did not make sense.\u00a0\u00a0It was entirely appropriate for Americans to gather outside the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and demand that Congress refrain from certifying an election irreparably tainted by mail-in-ballot fraud.\u00a0\u00a0Nevertheless, McLaughlin took time to mock me (and many others) and suggest that I had never heard of \u201csplit-ticket\u201d voting.\u00a0\u00a0McLaughlin-type pundits have a difficult time understanding anybody who doesn\u2019t blithely repeat back talking points mass-distributed by the corporate \u201cnews\u201d machine.<\/p>\n

It strikes me as ridiculous that McLaughlin finds it necessary to couch his \u201csuspicions\u201d about California\u2019s elections behind verbal acknowledgments that, absent \u201cevidence\u201d and \u201cproof\u201d of fraud, no clear conclusions can be drawn.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0If you arrive home to find your front door smashed open, your house ransacked, and all your valuables missing, it is not a \u201cvague suspicion\u201d to conclude that your home has been burgled.\u00a0\u00a0I get the sense that McLaughlin would tell police, \u201cIn the absence of evidence, any conclusion that I\u2019m the victim of burglary is just vague suspicion unsupported by proof.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0I think this is why common-sense Americans have no interest in listening to pundits these days; doing so requires a level of pretending that makes most people feel dirty.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know Dan.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe he\u2019s a nice guy.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe he believes what he writes.\u00a0\u00a0But he seems like somebody who would defend a future Democrat president who rounds all of us up into \u201cMAGA Camps,\u201d so long as CNN quoted Eric Holder as saying that the whole thing was legal and right.\u00a0\u00a0At some point, a person has to put his \u201cthinking cap\u201d on and start asking questions.\u00a0\u00a0Government bureaucrats and politicians are not truth-tellers; they\u2019re propagandists.\u00a0\u00a0If you don\u2019t have the sand to question authority, you\u2019re just a parrot begging for a cracker.\u00a0\u00a0And if California\u2019s most recent rigged election is the first time you\u2019ve had \u201cvague suspicions\u201d about the legitimacy of America\u2019s elections, then your punditry has the same whiff of freshness as a carriage horse\u2019s bun bag.<\/p>\n

Across the board, Americans do not trust the election process.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Every presidential election since the 2000 contest between Bush and Gore (which took thirty-five days to settle) has been sullied by allegations of fraud, disenfranchisement, illegal voting, ballot spoilage, electoral violations, and all manner of ethical misconduct.\u00a0\u00a0Members of the New Black Panther Party\u00a0intimidated<\/a>\u00a0voters in Philadelphia in order to secure a Pennsylvania election victory for Barack Obama in 2008.\u00a0\u00a0Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama deceived Democrat voters by perpetuating the lie that Russia \u201cstole\u201d the election for Donald Trump in 2016.\u00a0\u00a0While the corporate news media and Silicon Valley\u2019s social media tsars censored reporting on Hunter Biden\u2019s \u201claptop from Hell<\/a>\u201d in the lead-up to the 2020 election, Democrat-controlled cities reported more mail-in-ballots for Sleepy Joe than lawful registered voters.\u00a0\u00a0Since Trump\u2019s 2024 landslide victory over Kamala Harris, Democrats have claimed that Elon Musk stole all the swing states for the president.<\/p>\n

Nobody believes that our elections are on the up-and-up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fifty states do not uniformly require official photo ID.\u00a0\u00a0Election statutes are not uniformly enforced.\u00a0\u00a0Judges routinely step in to alter the rules for some areas but not others.\u00a0\u00a0Election \u201cDay\u201d has become Election\u00a0Months<\/em>\u00a0because most states permit early voting that lasts for weeks, as well as the late tabulation of mail-in-ballots that arrive well after the election.<\/p>\n

In many Democrat-controlled jurisdictions,\u00a0multiple ballots<\/a>\u00a0arrive at every home, apartment, post office box, chicken coop, doghouse, street corner, vacant field, Walmart, convenience store, parking lot, and homeless encampment.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0American citizens don\u2019t control election outcomes through their votes.\u00a0\u00a0Campaign operatives control election outcomes through ballot \u201charvesting\u201d \u2014 whereby blank ballots are mailed out, filled out, and collected without ever involving the \u201cvoters\u201d whose \u201cvotes\u201d are cast in their names.<\/p>\n

Once the vote counts are officially posted, most jurisdictions are incapable of verifying the legality of each vote cast or replicating the results with matched ballots and voter records.\u00a0\u00a0The local and state election commissions instead defer to the \u201cTrust us, bro\u201d standard of government accountability.<\/p>\n

The whole electoral process is corrupt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everybody knows it.\u00a0\u00a0Democrats and Republicans have different reasons for distrusting the outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0But the point remains: Nobody trusts the outcomes.\u00a0\u00a0Pundits such as Dan McLaughlin exist to reassure the public that everything is hunky-dory.\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t trust your eyes or the organ between your ears, they say.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trust the process and the Establishment politicians who benefit from that process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why not?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

These are the same professional \u201cauthorities,\u201d after all, who \u201crationally\u201d handled the arrival of the mostly-harmless COVID virus by closing schools, churches, and businesses; locking us up in our homes; creating arbitrary mask rules; forcing us to follow ludicrous \u201csafety\u201d protocols; and threatening to take our children away if we refused to submit to experimental injections redefined as \u201cvaccines.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0If you didn\u2019t learn to \u201ctrust the experts\u201d during COVID, I don\u2019t know what to tell you.\u00a0\u00a0After we \u201cflattened the curve in fifteen days,\u201d we also proved that owning property causes \u201cclimate change\u201d and that Dementia Joe Biden was the most popular president in American history!\u00a0\u00a0It was a banner few years!<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the proven track record of the Establishment Class, California\u2019s recent \u201celection\u201d is forcing more people than ever to question whether this whole voting monstrosity in America is legitimate.\u00a0\u00a0When even \u201cI will defend the integrity of the 2020 election to my dying breath\u201d Dan McLaughlin admits that the radically shifting results for the Los Angeles mayoral race have made him \u201csuspicious\u201d of the voting process in California, the tide might be turning.\u00a0\u00a0Who knows.\u00a0\u00a0Maybe Dan will start to wonder whether it\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0makes sense that Joe Biden \u2014 a political candidate who struggled to receive more than single-digit support during prior attempts to reach the White House \u2014 won\u00a0eighty-two million<\/em>\u00a0votes in 2020, eclipsing voter support for both President Obama and President Trump.<\/p>\n

Common sense isn\u2019t for everybody.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Some people prefer to trust corrupt election officials.\u00a0\u00a0As Dan McLaughlin\u00a0says<\/a>, \u201cThe machine wins.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Well, the machine does tend to win when pundits refuse to recognize, confront, and condemn fraud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
