Not Only Gender Surgery On Kids . . . Were Democrats Planning Some Anesthesia For Voters, Too?

November 5, 2022 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

PHOENIX — Only a few years ago, who could have foreseen this midterm election season? It had leapfrogged into terrifying territory for the people of the United States.
National radio host Bill Cunningham said on October 30 that with Joe Biden, we have a Democratic platform that wants to kill more unborn babies and sexually mutilate children.
Promoting massive permissive abortion already had become a mainstay of Democrat strategists, but now more grave abuses of the innocent were the fuel that fired up their engines.
These were part of a repellent party program that wants to use children for its radical social, racial, and schoolhouse experiments, turning even moderate and many liberal parents against Democrats.
If Democrats hoped to avoid possibly being wiped out by the results of the November 8 elections, would they have arranged backroom manipulation to alter the vote count?
Consider this: For nearly two years Joe Biden openly has broken every law on the books about illegal immigration in order to serve his agenda, and government workers up and down the line meekly facilitated his lawbreaking.
Because rough partisan Biden considers Democratic Party victories to be vital to “save democracy,” what’s to prevent his White House from doing whatever it considers necessary to deliver that result?
Is that why his friendly dominant media megaphones are so loud against “election denialism” now — perhaps anticipating upcoming Republican complaints about surprising losses to Democrats — even though these media weren’t distressed when prominent Democrats in the recent past refused to acknowledge defeat
The night of November 2, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson called attention to the strange approach Biden took in his speech that evening at Union Station in Washington, D.C., supposedly about defending democracy.
Like a peevish schoolmaster, Biden instructed Americans that in some cases, it may take “a few days” to know election results, but they should “be patient….That’s how it’s supposed to work.”
Actually, with rare exceptions, less technologically advanced Americans decades ago routinely had expected to know results the same night the polls closed — until Democrat fraudsters grew bolder in their tampering, especially beginning in 2020.
Carlson said Biden advised Americans to accept results “whenever they arrive, no matter what they may be. It was bizarre, and it did not inspire confidence….
“Why are they telling you that? It’s ominous,” Carlson added.
Biden’s lecturing Americans this way recalled investigative journalist Mollie Hemingway’s warnings about the president’s plan to steal the election, such as she posted at The Federalist website on June 23: “Yes, Biden Is Hiding His Plan To Rig The 2022 Midterm Elections.”
For instance, Arizonans watched the radical Democratic gubernatorial nominee and pro-abortion extremist here, Katie Hobbs, embarrassingly evade all efforts to persuade her to debate her GOP opponent, Kari Lake.
It almost seemed as if Hobbs knew that no matter how ridiculous she appeared — even completely spilling a drink as she dashed away from a reporter — she had the governorship in the bag.
As the current secretary of state, who oversees election results, Hobbs may be expected to know a thing or two about the accuracy of voting procedures.
If it’s still possible to reject senescent Biden’s voting schemes, the surest way to have Democrats defeated is to simply overwhelm them with undeniable Republican victories.
This article was written overnight on November 2-3 for the hardcopy Wanderer that went to press later in the day on November 3, so the November 8 election hadn’t arrived. We’ll analyze those results in coming days.
Meanwhile, the campaign issue of Biden’s soaring inflation hit the Phoenix metropolitan area the hardest in the nation, at 13 percent. The pain is everywhere, large and small. A 14.5 ounce can of tomatoes that was a little over a half-dollar a few months ago now is a full one dollar. With Thanksgiving around the corner, there’s a lot less to give thanks regarding the grocery bill.
During this election season, Arizona came under some intense national and even international media focus because its top four Republican candidates — and other GOP hopefuls here, too — were all Trump-endorsed conservatives who saw good reason to be suspicious of election irregularities.
They were Lake for governor, Blake Masters for the U.S. Senate, Abraham Hamadeh for state attorney general, and Mark Finchem for Arizona secretary of state.
Dominant liberal media seemed to think the Republicans needed to be taught a lesson for failing to be obedient sheep. The UK-based Financial Times headlined on November 2: “How Arizona became ground zero for election deniers.” A separate Financial Times opinion column was, “This will be the mother of all American midterm elections.”
A different item in the news as a late-October election-season “surprise” was the mysterious nighttime physical attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of California Democrat U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, on October 28 at the couple’s San Francisco home.
Even though alleged attacker David DePape fit the profile of a classic San Francisco, ahem, strange person, left-wing media were quick to blame Donald Trump and Republicans for the hammer attack, just as they blame Trump for everything bad.
Here was a late opportunity for dominant media to try to squeeze in another campaign hit — even though the majority of Americans already had learned to ignore their biased blathering.
Incredibly, these media complained that Trump and the GOP had “demonized” Nancy Pelosi — although dominant media themselves had spewed their volcanic hatred against Trump and his “fascist” Republicans endlessly for years. If their vitriol had brought physical harm to Trump, it’s unlikely they would have shed tears.
As for political demonization, Phoenix radio talk host Seth Leibsohn (KKNT, 960 AM) recalled on November 2 that in 2020, Democrat Senate leader Charles Schumer stood outside the U.S. Supreme Court building during a pro-abortion rally and directly threatened two justices by name, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.
If they didn’t rule in the pro-abortion way he wanted, Schumer warned the justices that “you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
My my, how peaceful sounding of the most powerful Senate Democrat to alert two Trump High Court appointees of the dire damage they could provoke upon themselves by displeasing him.

Conflicting And
Confusing Questions

Longtime Bay Area television journalist Barbara Simpson told The Wanderer on November 1 that while there are many questions about the attack on Paul Pelosi, it will be hard to determine the truth because of the House speaker’s political power.
Simpson said: “DePape has been in this country illegally for years, having overstayed his visa, and apparently has a history of strange behavior. But it’s California, so no one notices. HOW he got in the Pelosi home? WHY was no alarm tripped? How many people were in the house?”
She noted rumors about Paul Pelosi’s own behavior, adding, “Was there evidence Paul Pelosi had been drinking? If police saw Pelosi get hit in the head with a hammer, is there evidence he had also been hit earlier?…All in all, the case is full of conflicting and confusing questions but, given the nature of Nancy Pelosi’s political power locally and her desire for privacy, it is doubtful we will ever find out the truth. More’s the pity.”
Fox News’ Carlson noted on October 31 that DePape “is a mentally ill, drug-addicted, illegal alien nudist who takes hallucinogens and lives in a hippie school bus in Berkeley with a BLM banner and pride flag out front. . . . What does this sound like to you?”
Carlson said that if a person watched left-wing cable news, its message was that DePape was “a textbook case of home-grown right-wing extremism” — despite the abundant evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile, a reminder of factionalism in Republican politics here occurred after Arizona Atty. Gen. Mark Brnovich appeared on the 60 Minutes CBS television program with Scott Pelley on October 30.
Pelley said that “Brnovich told us his investigation is essentially over” regarding possible 2020 election fraud here.
The investigation had been a major news story.
Republican Brnovich said, “We, as prosecutors, deal in facts and evidence. And I’m not like the clowns that throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks.”
This was a swipe at the 2022 Arizona GOP ticket including Kari Lake. Were hard feelings involved? Brnovich had been regarded as a conservative attorney general, although he seemed to lack enthusiasm over the fraud issue.
Among the five candidates in the GOP’s August 2022 primary election for the U.S. Senate, Brnovich may have been the best-known overall, but he wasn’t endorsed by Trump and came in third. The nomination was won by Trump-endorsed tech entrepreneur Blake Masters.
The morning of November 1, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, said she was “flabbergasted” to hear Brnovich tell Pelley the investigation was over.
Fann had been a leading figure in the audit of the 2020 vote that, she said, was done because of the concern of so many constituents about its accuracy. She told Phoenix talk host James T. Harris (KFYI, 550 AM) that the Arizona Senate’s investigation of the 2020 election isn’t over, and Senate members were surprised by Brnovich’s announcement.
Talk host Harris expressed curiosity as to why Fann hadn’t been interviewed by Pelley.
Sean Hannity’s national radio program on October 25 raised the issue of Kari Lake being such a strong media presence that she sucks the air out of everything around her.
One example would be the dressing-down that Lake administered to reporters during a late October outdoors news conference that lasted nearly 40 minutes. Lake firmly told the media workers, “Many of you are an arm of the Democrat Party. Many of you are propagandists.”
She was surrounded by cameras but wasn’t the least bit hesitant or nervous in saying, “Shame on you, shame on you.”
After all, Lake spoke from the experience of being in television for three decades, more than 20 years under the lights as a news anchor. After she resigned from that job in early 2021, she said the reason was disgust with the liberal bias.
She told the outdoors news conference that a recent “petty theft” at her Democrat opponent Hobbs’ office was run as an international news story, even though Lake had nothing to do with it.
However, Lake said, the very morning she spoke before these journalists, someone “was seen rummaging in our campaign office,” and she expected to see them cover this story as vigorously.
Shortly after Lake called these media to account, her old employer, Fox 10 Phoenix, ran a graphic at the lower left of the screen during an October 27 news telecast that showed Hobbs beating Lake for the governorship, 53 percent to 47 percent, including exact vote counts of 1,252,437 for Hobbs and 1,102,326 for Lake, plus a winner’s checkmark next to Hobbs.
This was remarkable prognostication on October 27 for a November 8 election.
Lake tweeted, “WOAH…right after my press conference going after the Media. Retaliation?”
The television station later tweeted that this was only a test run of results that had been generated by the Associated Press.
The online aggregator Twitchy picked up the incident and commented, “Fox 10’s excuse is weak-sauce at best — that this image came from the AP is even MORE concerning that ‘the fix is in’.”
Among tweets in response were questions of why such exact numbers were used, and why the Republican was chosen to be the loser.
Barbara Simpson, the northern California commentator with years of experience in both Los Angeles and Bay Area television, told The Wanderer on October 30 that she didn’t think the election-results graphic was aired mistakenly.
“The Fox 10 ‘error’ wasn’t,” Simpson said. “People in the business are often bastards, and this proves it. I have my own experiences to prove it. You can’t trust anyone.”
