Today, (Tuesday Mar-23) Regent University hosted a Zoom teleconference “Analyzing American Election Integrity.” The schedule of speakers is here.
Our household watched the presentation by Mark Steyn, and he
was, as always, outstanding. He is an advocate
for a one-issue party, The Paper Ballot Party, and his reasons make a lot of
sense. He also advocates for taking
action at the local level.
He introduces the event on his website, SteynOnline (and the
link to the livestream is included at the bottom):
Today, Tuesday, I'll be joining
Peter Navarro, Kris Kobach and others for Michele Bachmann's Zoom conference on
election integrity. You can watch the livestream starting at midday Eastern/9am
Pacific here. . . .
Michele and Ben Carson will be
kicking things off, followed by a panel on the Democrats' "HR1" bill:
"An Effort to Correct the
Irregularities, or Institutionalize them?"
Well, you know which way I incline:
If Nancy & Chuck succeed in hammering HR1 down America's gullet, the GOP
will, at the federal level, never win again.
Peter Navarro should also be well
worth watching. He came up with the clearest and most comprehensible
distillation of what happened in the 2020 election - certainly better than many
of the high-paid lawyers produced.
I'll be popping up just after
4.30pm Eastern, but the whole thing is well worth your time.
Yesterday Michele Bachmann talked
about the conference on Steve Bannon's show:
'We were all told to shut up, we
weren't allowed to talk about it,' Bachmann told War Room, Monday. 'Now we're
going to talk about it.'
Indeed. The conference is open to
all, and at no charge. You can see the livestream here.
Good information.

Clarice Feldman’s weekly (Sunday) column at American Thinker
is always worth reading. This past weekend,
she highlighted a true American success story 2021-style – all the more inspiring because
it took place in California. Who would
have thought? Here’s the beginning of
her post titled “The Battle of Burbank” at Tinhorn Flats:
It’s believed the Battle of
Lexington and Concord was the fight that set off the American Revolution. While
a battle
at Burbank, California has received less notice, to me it is inspiring
-- a community’s refusal to bow to petty, irrational, and illegal
bullying.
The story is fully recounted by
Robert Morton, and I urge you to read it in its entirety, but here’s my
synopsis.
Tinhorn Flats is a family-operated
bar and restaurant in Burbank. Burbank has had a death rate from the Wuhan
virus of 2.8 percent of which 80 percent were of those over 65 who
had, on average three co-morbidities.
Despite this, and disregarding
the substantial sums restaurant and bar owners had shelled out to keep outdoor
patrons safe, on December 6 the city council ordered all restaurants closed.
Tinhorn refused and continued to serve patrons outdoors. Six days later their
health permit was revoked. Tinhorn continued its outdoor service, ignoring the
city’s revocation of its permit. In response, the L.A. County Department of
Health cited the restaurant 13 times for operating without a permit. Tinhorn
stayed open. The L.A. County Attorney filed a cease and desist
order. Tinhorn stayed open.
After a few more legal forays the
Burbank City Council filed suit against the restaurant and obtained a temporary
restraining order. Tinhorn stayed open.
The city cut power to the
restaurant and patrons and fans donated generators and equipment so the
restaurant could continue operations.
The city council padlocked the
front doors. Tinhorn removed the doors and stayed open.
When the padlocked doors were
somehow reinstalled, the restaurant posted on Facebook a picture showing a side
door open. Tinhorn stayed open.
Another L.A. County judge required
the county to prove that the ban on outdoor dining was necessary. The county
failed to do so, but inexplicably the judge refused to lift the ban.
Morton notes:
These petty tyrants don't seem to
realize that they have awakened a sleeping tiger. People from all over the city
are patronizing the restaurant. Support is pouring in from all over the
country.
Nor do they realize that nothing
will stop me or anyone else from patronizing this business. We are the
ocean of freedom and we will flow around any obstacles in our way. The
Burbank City Council will look like the idiots they are in trying to shut down
this place.[snip]
Like a desperado who is riddled with
bullets but just won't stop, Tinhorn Flats remains open. The latest chapter in
this saga finds the Burbank Fire Department showing up at Tinhorn Flats on
Wednesday night to remove a padlock... one that city officials had placed there
earlier that morning.
Why? Because as soon as officials
left, Lucas Lepejian cut off a lock on a side entrance and reopened the Old
West-themed restaurant and bar, reports FOX 11.
After cutting off the padlock,
Lepejian let customers in and continued serving them food and drink although
the front door remains padlocked, creating what Burbank officials call a
"life-safety hazard."
Standing up to bullies is the only
way to defeat them.

Jay Greenberg at Neonnettle reports:
Black Lives Matter Is Funded by These 18
Corporations
The main Black Lives Matter
organization, founded by “trained Marxists,” calls for replacing the
nuclear family with a “village,” and abolishing police, prisons, and
law courts.
Despite the extreme goals of BLM,
some of America’s largest corporations have pledged or donated hundreds of
thousands of dollars to the far-left group.
Prominent brands, including Amazon,
Microsoft, Nabisco, Gatorade, Airbnb, and the Atlantic and Warner record
labels, have helped to fund the organization with massive donations.

Bookworm Room (a/k/a Andrea Widburg) summarizes some of the
destructive actions taken since the Democrat party took all three branches of
power. She starts with these:
Since Biden entered the White House
on January 20 the following things have happened (and this list isn’t in any
particular order):
Biden’s made a wild ad hominem
attack against Putin, who has nuclear power.
Biden’s Defense Secretary
threatened Kim Jong-un, who has nuclear power.
Biden’s erased the southern border
entirely (never mind that he has no legal authority to do so).
The Democrats as a whole have
switched to an economic rule that’s based on the printing press principle:
Money is no object because they’ll print it up as they go along.
The Democrats have declared war on
women via their proposed Equality Act.
The Democrats have declared war on
our constitutional democratic republic via their laughably named For the People
Act. [HR-1]
The rest of her list is here. And her question at the end of her post is
this:
I originally thought that the
Democrats were just in this for power. I now think that they are in this to
completely destroy the United States. . . . Am I crazy or is that what’s really going on
here?
Some of the reader comments at the blog are worth reading,
also.

At American Thinker, Jay Valentine does a deeper dive into the
2020 election fraud. It’s frightening – and he makes the case.
The Sovereign Crime
of Industrial Scale Vote Fraud
. . . Your government, at the state and
federal level, the FBI, government agencies can be in on the scam. That
is the realization slowly being accepted by millions of Americans.
We have technologies that can
identify dead voters the moment they cast a ballot. We can identify
people who are out-of-state, voted twice, are underage, live in a vacant lot or
a UPS or FedEx postal box. We can even show a photo of that vacant lot so
you can see where your fake neighbor claims to live.
Literally, the second their ballot
is counted, they can be flagged as a likely fraud.
Yes, we can deploy that technology
today. We have done it in the insurance industry for decades.
We can predict where election fraud
is going to happen. We can predict how it is going to be done. We
can deploy technologies to identify likely fraud within seconds of when it
happens.
The question is, if the government
is pretty much in on the election fraud, does it really matter?
Read the whole thing here.
