Dems Try To Just Mail It In . . . How Can Trump Lose Re-Election When His Foes Are Such Losers?

Sanders saw Harris as Biden's best pick: report | TheHill

Set aside long-range weather politicians, er, forecasters who’ll tell you what the climate will be like 100 years from now, when you won’t be around to hold them to account for errors anyway. Nor will they survive so long. It’s called natural aging, not being baked to death by the so-called warming. As for surprisingly rained-out picnics? That’s called hazy short-term forecasting.
Forget that and instead just consider what you’d do in the immediate future to a merchant who kept selling you badly flawed picnic gear each time you went through the store doors or, more likely, shopped online. Would you go back there 20 times to buy more prettily packaged detritus? Thirty times?
So why do dominant media, supposedly the trusted purveyors of vital facts, think they’ll still get away with promoting hoax after hoax hastily hammered together at conniving Democrats’ phoniness factory? And why do Dems think they’d even have a chance to sell this junk?
Well, Dems sell it because they know the media’s beguiled wholesale outlets still scoop it up. But the retail buyer increasingly has learned to beware what pops up on his screen or even, like the good old days, is tossed onto his porch, newspapers with substantially less of the heft they used to have in weight, and less clout in credibility.
Remember Democratic U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s prominent phony tale in 2012 about Mitt Romney’s unpaid taxes? We’ll get to that in a little bit.
Having assured us throughout Donald Trump’s presidency that he was just a step away from prison for his monstrous criminality, these media hadn’t issued any deep apology for being accomplices to repeated monstrous falsehoods when the Dems suddenly whomped up another howler in August.
Despite the postal workers’ union endorsing Joe Biden for president, Trump somehow seized control of the Postal Service in order to wreck mail-in voting.
You couldn’t make such insanity up. But Dems and their media allies do repeatedly, as if they merely were obeying geophysical laws.
Suddenly a new topic’s major story after story was manufactured, and dressed up with misleading photos, as if some fresh crisis were afoot. Lucy just knows old Charlie Brown will fall for her yank-away-the-football trick again. And again.
Why, Trump was having mail drop-off boxes just removed from neighborhoods, among his other alleged villainies. Well, mine out by a street was removed well over a decade ago — well before this president — because, while convenient for me, it apparently didn’t generate much use in front of a little strip of maybe six small shops.
Louisville Courier-Journal contributor Scott Jennings noted that while Dems and the media accuse Republicans of conspiracy theories, it’s they themselves who “are spreading flat-out lies to freak people out.”
And pundit Erick Erickson tweeted: “Really is crazy how many people want a mail-in election while complaining that a single man can corrupt a mail-in election.”
Dems insisted on having universal mail-in voting, with a certain eye to the voting fraud they specialize in. Send out ballots to everyone, the live, the dead, the moved-away, the Martian invaders in Marin County, the uninterested, the mentally challenged. Oops, don’t want to get too close to the topic of Joe Biden.
Then, among the possibilities, let ballot harvesters bring boxfuls of their handiwork to the elections office. And mailbox thieves collect sheaves of ballots for improvement before returning them via the Postal Service. As if voters have no other way of getting ballots back to the official tabulators.
It’s too dangerous to stand socially distanced to vote at the polls, moan the same Dems who cheer on crowds of rioters who have no social distancing at all. Going to church is too dangerous due to the disease, but demonstrating noisily right outside the postmaster general’s residence isn’t.
Trump favored intentionally planned absentee voting, which he said he did himself, but not blank ballots delivered by saturation bombing.
Back on March 10, before mail had become its current sort of political issue, WLNY-TV in New York City wasn’t being unique when it reported on wrong names, wrong addresses, wrong streets, Christmas cards delivered in March, and no mail delivered to a business location.
I vote by what’s called an early ballot in Arizona, available to any qualified person who asks for one, but usually I take it to a voting center on election day to deposit rather than returning it through the mail.
That’s mainly because I don’t want to risk the possibility that Arizona’s corrupt “moderate” political establishment might do any amending of my voting decisions in a warehouse after the Postal Service did its duty delivering the mail. I’m suspicious? Suspicion of human frailty is why our once-limited government originally was created by wise men.
The Postal Service has a big enough job to do already, anyway. As it says, its carriers literally are on every street in the United States six days a week. From Maine to Hawaii, from Alaska to Florida, and everywhere in between. Because of this volume, that’s why I occasionally send my mail to people certified, for extra security, and even that method faltered three times in the last few years.
(I noted some of my postal complaints in the July 9, 2020, hard copy issue of The Wanderer, “Have electronics really helped? — Oh, for the days when Pony Express was simpler, and faster,” p. 3A.)
In mid-August I went to a post office to seek a refund of my certified mailing fee because the Postal Service website still couldn’t assure me that a letter I sent at the end of March ever was delivered. The polite P.O. supervisor declined to give me the refund because, after all, the letter hadn’t been sent back to me, so, he said, assume that it got to its destination.
I didn’t want to ask the addressee for delivery verification because I had my doubts about good will at that end of the line.
During this same postal visit, I took along a piece of mail that kept being delivered back to me three times despite my printing on the envelope, inside a box I made in red crayon, that no such addressee was at my specified address. I’d also blacked out the postal barcode because I’d learned that barcodes seem to have a way of overriding whatever is printed on the envelope.
And don’t even ask about when non-physician me kept receiving mail at my residence that was intended for doctors by a hospital nearly four miles away. Neither their names, address, nor ZIP code were mine, but my printing on their items about this being an incorrect delivery didn’t avail for a while.
What if these were mail-in ballots for or from them, and little old devilish Democrat me decided to help myself? Ballot security? Tell Nancy Pelosi about that.
The Heritage Foundation is one of the conservative organizations interested in keeping tabs on voter fraud. Why are liberal groups less interested? Why do dominant left-wing media wave away the very idea? The answer’s plain.
As of May 10, the Heritage website said, “Although talk of voter fraud may be increasing because of the stakes in the 2020 election, the Heritage Foundation’s election-fraud database has been around for four years. With the addition of our latest batch of cases, we are up to 1,285 proven instances of voter fraud.
“Heritage’s database is by no means comprehensive,” it added. “It doesn’t capture all voter fraud cases and certainly doesn’t capture reported instances that aren’t even investigated or prosecuted. The database is intended to demonstrate the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed.”
It gives states, years, names and offenses. Look up heritage.org/voterfraud for its fraud map.
“Examples include impersonation fraud at the polls; false voter registrations; duplicate voting; fraudulent absentee ballots; vote buying; illegal assistance and intimidation of voters; ineligible voting, such as by aliens; altering of vote counts; and ballot petition fraud,” Heritage says.

Cavalier Attitude To The Truth

As for Dem Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s fake news back in 2012, when Republican Mitt Romney was running against incumbent Barack Obama, Reid, one of the nation’s top Democratic officials, outright lied on the Senate floor, saying of Romney, “So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not.”
Reid earlier said a Bain Capital investor told him this about Romney. Bain Capital is a private investment firm co-founded by Romney.
Later, Politico reported, on August 2, 2012, “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is refusing to let go of his allegation that Mitt Romney paid no taxes for 10 years, despite repeated denials by the GOP nominee.”
Reid released a five-paragraph statement insisting on his claim, saying he had the word from “an extremely credible source.”
Three years later, in 2015, Reid admitted his accusation was false that surely damaged Romney in his presidential race. Reid brushed off the idea his tactic had been “McCarthyite.”
“Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid gloated. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
Do you notice any similarity to Dem vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ brushing off the fact that when she was trying to beat Joe Biden, she raked him over the coals for alleged sympathy for racism — but when interviewer Stephen Colbert recalled that attack recently, Harris erupted in laughter, denying that her words had any importance.
On August 19 Phoenix radio talk host Seth Leibsohn (KKNT, 960 AM) noted that Vice President Mike Pence should keep in mind Harris’ cavalier attitude to the truth when he faces off against her for their campaign debate. Conniving Harris is far left on the political scale, from Abortion to Zillionaires, who surely have far too money to be left with any.
Pundit Erick Erickson, a skeptical supporter of Trump, tweeted on August 19: “There are a lot of days I get up and don’t really care who wins. Then I am reminded Democrats really do want to take my guns, let people kill kids, and force Christians into servitude for values they find abhorrent.”
Also from Erickson about the Dems:
“They won’t condemn the rioters, and deny the violence of Antifa, but want to round up all the guns everyone just bought to defend themselves as they defund the police. Sure.”
The national Dems pretended at their virtual convention that they want to answer the people’s wishes. But on August 19, the third night of their Milwaukee lie-fest that blatantly ignored left-wingers’ stubborn rampages, the home page of Portland’s Oregonian website headlined, “Police declare riot on 84th night of protests, after vandalism at ICE building in Southwest Portland.”
Eighty-four nights of protests. Riot after riot after riot in a Democrat-run city in a Democrat-run state that glares against federal intervention but smiles benignly as long as the protest is of the correct pedigree.
People see this and they understand, despite Dems’ and dominant media’s willful blindness.
That’s one important reason Donald Trump will win re-election.

Abortion Advocates No Longer Consider It “A Necessary Evil,” They Celebrate Killing Babies

Last week, Kamala Harris became the first vice president in U.S. history to make a public visit to an abortion clinic.
