  • They Don’t Just Super-Spread Social Toxicity Anymore

    After 18 months of warning about “superspreaders” that never panned out, Democrats – in this case, the Texas Fleebaggers – finally put their money where their gaping, unmasked-on-airplanes mouths are: On Tuesday, Axios reported that an aide to the speaker and a White House official tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a rooftop reception to…

  • Narrative Hardest Hit

    So why did the Democrats back off the whole “Election Refoirm” thing in Congress so hard? Oh. Fearless prediction: being able as they are to count on the fact that the typical Democrat voter thinks Samantha Bee is “news”, they’ll keep talking about “voter suppression” anyway.

  • Trigger Warning

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Trigger warning – clear thinking ahead. If you’ve never thought “perhaps it’s time to just re-boot the whole thing”, you might start.

  • Implausible

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Writer Peter Grant passes along a fascinating premise for a novel. The only problem is it’s so outrageous that it would be instantly dismissed as a tin-foil hat conspiracy and therefore is too implausible even for fiction. Except . . . remember the Somali day care scam? And the…

  • Good News / Bad News

    The good news: there are jurisdictions in this country where election integrity is non-negotiable. The bad news: it’s for high school homecoming royalty elections. While employed as an assistant principal at Bellview Elementary School in the same county, [Queen candidate’s mother Laura Rose] Carroll accessed the school district’s internal system to cast fraudulent votes for…

  • So Let’s Get This Straight

    The DFL and the Teachers Union – pardon the redundancy – is rejecting the idea of allowing high school kids to take their standardized tests from home… …because there’s no way to make such an important bit of work reliable and honest. Democratic senators said Minnesota’s testing provider, Pearson Education, would not be able to…

  • Facts: Growing In Office

    I feel so stupid.  I completely fell for the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory that the election was stolen.  But as this article makes clear, the election actually was SAVED.  All those unsubstantiated Republican claims that an informal alliance of left-wing activists and business titans got states to change voting systems and laws and helped secure hundreds of…

  • Burma, Shaved

    Have you heard about the election controversy?  Votes cast by ineligible persons?  Outdated voter registration lists allowing fraudulent votes to be cast?  Warnings before the election of “widespread violation of the laws and procedures of the pre-voting process.”  Election officials saying, “There is no evidence” to brush aside allegations of misconduct?  Democrats in Congress threatening to punish those who question the…

  • Click Baited

    I confess, I am often tempted by those click-bait ads.  This site advertises the 10 Greatest Sports Cheaters.The authors act as if it’s a big deal, as if the cheaters were some kind of villains and the people who called out the cheaters were some kind of heroes. Who cares?  You lost.  Whether you lost fair…

  • Questioning The Narrative

    A few people have asked me why those wacko idiot Trump supporters don’tbelieve Biden won the election fair and square. I can’t speak for otherwacko idiot Trump supporters, only for myself: An election is announced.Voters cast ballots in person and by mail.Election observers gather to watch the ballots being counted, to ensureit’s done fairly.Election officials…

  • What A Difference Four Years Makes

    The New York Times, 2020: “Our elections are unimpeachably honest and fair and not problematic at all”. New York Times, 2016: “Not only did the Russians install Donald Trump, but we’ll show you how they probably did it by doing it ourselves: I could keep saying “Democrats and the NYTimes (ptr) can reverse themselves all…

  • The Cure For What Ails Us

    The cure for election fraud is scrutiny.  Make sure every ballot is legitimate, then count all legitimate ballots.  The process takes place in two parts. First, scrutinize the paper ballots, same as we did in the “hanging-chads” count in Florida.  This requires three steps: Step A: segregate ballots where the chain of custody is unclear. …

  • Mistakes

    Clerk: “Here’s your change.” First Customer: “Hey, you shorted me.” Clerk: “Sorry, my mistake, here you go.” Clerk: “Here is your change.” Second, Third, Fourth Customers: “Hey, you shorted me.” Clerk: “Sorry, my mistake. Here you go.” All Customers: “There is something going on here.” Store Manager: “No, we just make a lot of innocent…

  • Weight

    I’m not a computer programmer and don’t pretend to be; therefore, this is a serious request for an answer from a person who was a knowledgeable computer programmer BEFORE the election (not an instant expert on computers today, the Constitution last week, and epidemiology the week before). The State of Michigan admitted 6,000 votes were…

  • Rule Changes

    Democrats in the Senate couldn’t get President Obama’s judicialnominations approved under the old rules, so Chuck Schumer changed therules.  Republicans saw the rule change and used it to President Trump’sjudicial nominations approved.  Rule changes cut both ways. Democrats couldn’t get Joe Biden elected using legitimate ballots, sothey kicked out poll watchers and dumped half-a-million phony…

  • Your Lying Eyes

    Whenever we discuss election fraud, Liberals are quick to point out the lack of convictions.  No convictions = no fraud.  They are using the wrong measurement and therefore reach an incorrect conclusion. To obtain a conviction for voter fraud, the County Attorney must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a specific individual cast a specific…

  • Fraud Watch

    I have been confidently assured there is no ballot fraud.  I’m dubious. The Minnesota Supreme Court issued an opinion in DSCC v. Simon, courtfile A20-1017.  It’s eye-opening. Minnesota law has long allowed a voter to have someone help them marktheir ballot.  It’s historically been used by the blind or disabled,given by a friend or family…

  • Hear That Garment-Rending-y Sound?

    That’s the sound of DFLers realizing they’re going to have to jam ten days worth of fraud into one evening. And they’re not happy about it. The 8th Circuit returned a decision in Carson v. Simon yesterday. The presser from the Minnesota Voters Alliance explains:  The 8th Circuit reversed a lower court decision which authorized the Minnesota…

  • Why Are The Dems Pushing “Early Voting” So Hard?

    Aaaaaah. It makes sense now.

  • Democracy Can’t Survive…

    …if citizens can’t trust their institutions. And we can’t trust our institutions. And they know it, and don’t care. So what choice does that leave us?

  • When Democrats #Progsplain That There Is No Voting Fraud…

    …rest assured, they are doing it to distract from all their voting fraud. But we knew that.

  • The Answer To Infantile Politics?

    More infants voting. This comes up every couple of years. It usually founders when people remember how ghastly young people are – why “we” have raised age limits for drinking, buying tobacco and renting cars. But determining the future of a democracy most of them don’t understand and many have been indoctrinated to hate? Why,…

  • War On Our Election System

    This past weekend on the NARN I talked about Carson v. Simon – a case that’s been filed with the Supreme Court of Minnesota over the Secretary of State’s plan to allow up to a week work of counting of ballots, including mail-in ballots with no postmarks – which as we saw earlier this week,…

  • October Not-Remotely-Surprising

    I joke, fairly often, that satire is more like the news than the news is, these days – and that’s not necessarily a good thing. But sometimes, actual journalism is the best journalism there is. The latest from Project Veritas: And it’s in Minneapolis. This is what Republicans face in the Metro. If this were…

  • The Fraud Machine

    I know, I know – there is no voter fraud. All those phony registrations that election integrity groups uncovered between 2009 today? Just random demographic fuzz. Nine people registred in a single small-town laundromat? What are you – paranoid? Secretary of State Simon defying three court orders to turn over dox related to irregularities? Nah,…
