Irrelevant Dinosaurs

At American Greatness, Liz Sheld takes aim at the GOPe, a/k/a establishment Republicans, including those addressing the Democrat convention this week:

“Democrats electrify party base with showcase of irrelevant dinosaurs 
(i.e., Bill Clinton and John Kerry)”

. . . Politics is first and foremost about who has power (elected officials, deep pocket corporate interests and their influencer flacks) and who doesn’t.  Since Trump is an outsider, the industry and it’s soldiers can’t cash a bank of IOUs they would normally have on a professional politician. It’s better for these fake Republicans and their auxiliaries to be in the minority of a status quo system. In fact it’s better for all the establishment Republicans to be the minority of a status quo system, they would much rather lose the White House and both chambers so they can be king of the losers. It’s easier for them, they don’t have to do anything, they have no responsibility and can always point to their helpless position as a minority as cover for their ineffectiveness.

But the nerve of these traitors, turning on the people who voted for them while pretending to represent their interests is astronomical. How many people who voted for John McCain (59,948,323 votes) also voted for Donald Trump (62,979,879)? I’m guessing a lot and those people probably thought McCain was going to advance mutually held political positions he pretended to have. Alas, it was always just a sham, these Republicans speaking at the DNC were never about conservative or classical liberal positions, they were only using a gimmick to get their power and that’s why the country delivered a throat punch to the political establishment named Donald J. Trump. At the same time it’s sickening to see but also refreshing that voters have an opportunity to see exactly how these politicians play which is for their own power grab, relevancy and the big bucks of their corporate patrons.

Fraud-by-mail

 

Stephen Green, a/k/a Vodkapundit, posted his “Insanity Wrap#29” today at PJ Media.  Here’s part of his section on mail-in voting, or as he puts it “Fraud-by-mail”:

An election without trust is barely worth holding — if that.

Insanity Wrap finds none of these virtues in mail-in balloting.

Mail-in ballots get sent out according to a process invisible to the voters.

Yes, you received a ballot with your name and address on it, but did someone else at your old house or apartment receive one with your name on it, too? If so, what happened to it?

Who “helps” older or infirm people fill out their ballots in private?

Were extra ballots printed? If so, what happened to them?

What happens to your ballot after you drop it, as yet uncounted, into a USPS box?

Where does the counting take place, and by whom?

The postal workers union just endorsed Joe Biden — can it be trusted?

If you don’t know — if you can’t know — the answers to any of these questions, then how much do you trust the process?

Insanity Wrap believes the move to mail-in voting isn’t so much about stealing elections. Democrats have always proven willing (and oftentimes able) to come up with enough mystery ballots to win a close contest.

Instead, mail-in voting is about reducing the level of trust the public has for the result of any and every election.

When trust in free elections is reduced low enough, the people will be ready for something…

…else.

What that “else” is, Insanity Wrap would rather not know.

The Postal Service Isn't a Voting System

Over at Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield makes good points about the Democrat party’s goal of shifting all voting to vote-by-mail:

Not that such a system would be remotely trustworthy, but states like Nevada signing off on ballot harvesting obviously don't care about trustworthy.

It's 2020. You can safely and reliably order everything from burgers to luxury cars to your home. And yet we vote the way we used to a century ago because for all the Dem prattle about accessibility, they want control of the process, and they don't want to take the simple step of verifying the legitimacy of who may be voting.

So instead we have a train wreck of their own making in which Democrats make unrealistic demands of the Postal Service and then throw a tantrum.

The Hodge Twins on Cannon Hinnant

 The Hodge Twins post topical videos all the time on YouTube.  They are informative and funny.  This one (7:16 minutes) is on the more serious side, as they are commenting on the shooting of Cannon Hinnant.  However, considering the daily deluge of Black Lives Matter propaganda, they are also showing the bias and corruption in the media.
