The Rig Was Big Enough (Mostly)

Last week, I asked the question, “will the Democrats’ rig be big enough to allow them to keep the House and Senate?”  As of this writing, the answer is, mostly yes.  It appears that the GOP will retake the House, but the Senate likely will remain in the hands of the Democrats, and none of the vulnerable Democratic governors lost.

Further, it appears that the rumblings hinting at a possible removal of Joe Biden in 2024 recently heard coming from Democrat mouthpieces such as the New York Times have been silenced.   

In last week’s post, I also mentioned, “I wouldn’t be shocked if John Fetterman managed to ‘win’ his Senate race.”  Unfortunately, I was right and am not shocked.  Was it fraud, or are the people of PA so addicted to voting Democrat that they’d support a man who promises to release more felons from prison and ban fracking which would help the economy of the state? More felons. Less fracking.  Not much of a campaign platform.  But that’s what PA is going to send to the Senate. 

Paul Craig Roberts did an excellent job chronicling Democratic election fraud in 2020 and is doing so again in 2022.   You can read his most recent pieces on the subject here, here, and here. 

In his November 9 piece, Roberts analyzed data provided by CNN to cast doubt on the voting results.  In summary, the exit polls showed the Democrats losing support among voters of all different categories.  Asks Roberts, “The CNN exit polls show substantial erosion of the Democrat voting base since the 2018 election.  How can such substantial erosion be consistent with the lack of any significant Republican gain on Tuesday?”  Good question. 

Then there are the mysterious ballot drops where the Democratic candidate’s vote total spikes upward for no apparent reason.  That happened in several states in 2020, and it happened again in 2022.  Here are some articles highlighting the spikes:

• “Crime Spikes: Mike Lindell Shows Real Evidence Of Election Fraud”
• “BREAKING – THEY DID IT AGAIN! Two Massive Unexplained Ballot Drops Gave Gretchen Whitmer the Lead in Michigan – They Ran a ‘Drop and Roll’ In Michigan Last Night”
• “EXCLUSIVE: Unexplained Ballot Drop in GA Senate Race Likely Prevented Herschel Walker from Winning Race Outright – ‘Drop and Roll’ Pushed Race to Runoff”
• “BREAKING: Unexplained Ballot Drops Occurred in the Minnesota Governor’s Race – Illicit ‘Drop and Roll’ Gave Democrat the Win”

For the sake of being fair and balanced, fact-checking website Snopes ran an article “Supposed ‘Ballot Drops’ Did Not Swing 2022 Election Results” stating that claims of “ballot drops” affecting election outcomes are false.  Snopes rates the ballot drop claims as false because Democrats use mail-in ballots at a much higher rate than Republicans, because Donald Trump has spent the last three years discouraging Republicans from using mail-in ballots, and because there are examples of large “ballot drops” that favor Republicans.

I encourage you to read and consider the claims for yourself.  

For my part, I don’t know what the rate of mail-in ballot use is by party.  I know that I and other members of my family have used mail-in ballots several times in recent years.  We’re all Republicans.  Second, one piece of evidence brought forth in the Snopes article was a tweet by New York Times reporter Stuart A. Thompson showing a large “ballot drop” for Republican AZ gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.  First, I don’t trust the New York Times.  It provides some of the most absurdly biased reporting there is.  But let’s assume for a moment the information Stuart Thompson provided was true.  The “ballot drop” for Kari Lake still did not give her the lead in the election. In every case that I have seen where there was a “ballot drop” for the Democratic candidate, it gave the Dem the lead and the win. 

Of further note, the current Secretary of State for Arizona is the same person who is running as a Democrat for Arizona Governor, Kate Hobbs.  That appears to be a conflict of interest in a state that has had major problems with its vote counting in the past two elections. 

What is most remarkable to me is the complete lack of interest in these “ballot drops” shown by the Republican Party and the mainstream press.  It’s almost as if they want the issue to just go away.

But this election did not just feature apparent “ballot drops.”  It featured large decreases in vote totals, including decreases in vote totals for Democrats. Please see the screenshot below.  It’s from Mike Lindell’s election night coverage at the 31:44 mark.  At this point, Lindell and his guest were reviewing the Illinois Senate race between Democratic incumbent Tammy Duckworth and her Republican challenger Kathy Salvi. Per the guest, the huge spike represents about one million votes.  Then, a little while later, it spiked down almost the same amount.  The allegation by Lindell’s guest is that there was an algorithm that brought the vote total back down to an acceptable difference rather than leaving in the suspicious blowout vote total for Duckworth.  Is that what happened?  I don’t know.  But it certainly is suspicious.  But what’s even more suspicious is that no one in the legacy media, no one in academia, and no one in either major party seems too concerned about it.  

Then there’s the issue of long delays in vote counting.  Remember back in the day when we could go to bed on election night knowing who had won?  And that back in the Pleistocene era before the internet?  Yeah, I remember that tool.  But now that we’re in the golly-gee whiz-bang era of high tech, it takes forever to get an election result. 

So which side do long, drawn-out election counts favor?  Per Paul Craig Roberts, Tucker Carlson researched this question and found, “a Democrat won in 12 out of 13 delays in arriving at the [election] outcome.”   

Personally, I wouldn’t be too shocked if somehow the Democrats don’t end up winning a majority in the House.  It’s just a matter of them scrounging up the needed votes, which they always seem to manage.

The Continuing Cultural Collapse   

“Two women made history when they won their gubernatorial races in the 2022 midterm elections — becoming the first two openly lesbian governors in the U.S.”

This is the sort of thing that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago – by a few years ago I mean before the 2015 Supreme Court decision to mandate same-sex marriage throughout the US.  This is, of course, a disaster if you’re a Christian.   There is no good news here.  No silver lining.  Progressivism – better called political Romanism – is on the rise and there seems to be nothing in its way. 

What are we to say about a nation that “celebrates” the political victory of sexual perversion?  Will the Lord be pleased with such a nation?  I think not.  More likely, he will wipe that nation as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 

Of course, the trend toward lesbian governors is only part of the larger story of the increase of women in positions of political authority generally.  Corrupt Judah, cried the Lord in the day of Isaiah, was ruled over by women and it was a disgrace.  So too is it in 2022 America. 

It’s worth noting that lesbianism and feminism go closely together.  That’s to be expected.  Feminism is defined as the belief in social, economic and political equality of the sexes.  If that’s the case and men and women are interchangeable in all, or nearly all situations, then it becomes hard to argue against same-sex marriage and transgenderism.  And if feminism opens up those discussions, much more does it oppose any Christian arguments against women ruling in civil government.    

It’s All Donald’s Fault

Shortly after the Red Wave failed to materialize, the official narrative became it was all Donald Trump’s fault.  He picked bad candidates and caused the GOP to fall flat, or so we’re told.  According to the Wall Street Journal, “Trump Is the Republican Party’s Biggest Loser.”

It’s not my point here to defend everything Trump said or did in the run-up to the Mid Terms.  But ask yourself this, what did the GOP leadership do to rally the base in this very winnable Mid Term?  Here we are with the economy tanking, inflation raging, the southern border collapsing, a possible nuclear war with Russia looming, and what did the Republican leadership do?  Where were Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and Ronna Romney McDaniel?  Did they do or say anything to inspire you to get out there are fight for liberty and the Constitution?  Did they make rally you with opposition to the Biden/Vatican mass illegal alien invasion flooding our nation?  Did they push back on the Democrats’ slanderous attacks on Republican voters, with one prominent Democrat effectively calling them Nazis?  Did they do anything at all?  No. No, they did not.  They didn’t lift so much as a finger.  It’s almost like they wanted to lose and then use the loss to get rid of Trump by blaming to fiasco on him. 

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)

AIPAC has long been known as “The Lobby” in Washington.  And now in 2022, it has upped its ante with its newly formed AIPAC Political Action Committee (PAC).  The AIPAC PAC allows The Lobby for the first time to donate directly to individual political candidates.   

How did that work out for AIPAC?  Well, they bragged in a recent tweet that “more than 95% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their election!”  So, we have The Lobby for a foreign nation bragging openly that nearly all their candidates won their election.  This may be good news for the Zionists, but is it good news for America?  In my opinion, no. 

In a 2018 interview with the Washington Post, then-President Donald Trump stated that oil was becoming less and less a reason to stay in the middle east, that we don’t have to stay there, but that one reason to stay there was Israel.    So, Saudi oil, a strategic commodity needed by the US economy, was becoming less important under Trump – this probably was due to the energy independence America achieved under him – but the one reason he could come up with to stay in that explosive part of the world was Israel. 

The American people owe exactly zero to Israel.  Zero dollars, and zero foreign policy capital.  And yet, the dollars flow and flow and flow. 

This is the very sort of passionate attachment to a foreign nation that George Washington warned us about.
