Way too many are caught in a media-induced despondency, knowing the presidential election was stolen, in the dark of night, vote counting suddenly stopped, vote counts on the television switched from Trump to Biden — yet each thinks he or she is the only one who saw it.
Why do I feel so alone?
Nobody can hide industrial scale fraud, of any sort, for long: Medicaid fraud, stock manipulation, fake invoices. The bigger the fraud, the harder it is to hide and thus the greater probability it is all going to come out. The words "...this would be the crime of the century" will likely be Tucker Carlson's "read my lips, no new taxes...." a year from now.
Let's talk about industrial level fraud.
It's all over the place.
Our teams uncovered some of the largest Medicaid fraud rings in the country. Doctors, attorneys, chiropractors, groups of recent immigrants all living in the same apartment building in Patterson, NJ. These connections were one of the largest "swoop and squat" insurance frauds ever discovered.
We broke the largest internet auction fraud in history and built the technology that enabled a major tech company to determine that Mary Jones was actually Sam McCarthy and Steven Simms, even though they had not a single field in common.
We know a bit about industrial scale fraud. So do a lot of people.

Madoff's Ponzi/pyramid scheme was no different than the one called Social Security but with one difference: one could voluntarily enter & exit Madoff's spiel.

I am discouraged that no perpetrators of fraud have yet confessed (at least none I know of).
There are claims of affidavits from people who were involved in the fraud.

I believe they did massive scale fraud and would have gone unnoticed except it still wasn't enough because of the red wave. That forced emergency extra fraud that was somewhat obvious (although may still be difficult to prove).
#7
The Dems don't seem to be very interested in the accusation of systemic election fraud. Yet, a couple of years ago, they seemed to be interested in the fact that voting machines were susceptible to fraud.
#8
Whenever Dem voters show an interest in electrical fraud (after they've lost) the GOP should ride the wave with policies/laws to fix election problems. Do it before the corrupt Dem machines can stop the very wave they created.
[Hal Turner] Rudy Giuliani and other lawyers representing President Donald Trump’s campaign outlined part of their case that the Nov. 3 presidential election was so deeply flawed in several key states that the results should be overturned in the president’s favor.
Giuliani said there was a pattern to the alleged irregularities in key states that suggested, he said, a "plan from a centralized place" to commit voter fraud in cities controlled by Democrats.
He said widespread adoption of vote-by-mail had allowed Democrats to take big-city corruption practices nationwide. "They picked the places where they could get away with it."
Here are the key allegations the lawyers presented:
#4
The Nevada governor, Stephen F. Sisolak (endorsed by Obama and Biden), created fertile ground to plant election hi-jinks. He pushed the organization, "Let America Vote" (a Dem 527 organiztion) in Nevada which reduces or eliminates voter identification requirements. Thus, 77,000 more votes than voters.
[PJ] Earlier this month, San Diego, Calif., experienced a COVID-19 outbreak and fell back to the most severe tier of the state’s coronavirus restrictions. This meant that schools, restaurants, museums, retail businesses, and even churches would close — but for some reason, strip clubs were allowed to remain open. Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur made sense of this bizarre scenario by explaining America’s "moral free-fall."
"America is in a moral free-fall," he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Thursday.
"Just look at it as I would as a pastor," MacArthur began. "You murder the babies in the womb. If they survive the womb, you try to seduce them into transgender sexual deviation when they’re young. If they survive that, you corrupt them with a godless education. If they survive that, you have divorce in the family and if they grow to be adults, you drown them in a sea of pornography."
"This is a nation so far down in the sewer of immorality and wickedness that nothing surprises me," the pastor continued. "In fact, I would be shocked if a judge said, ’Open all the churches and close all the strip clubs.'"
A recent Los Angeles Times story accused MacArthur’s church of enabling an outbreak, but MacArthur explained the real story. As it turns out, three part-time security guards at GCC had tested positive for COVID-19 unrelated to their work duties but had no symptoms. They returned to work within a few days. Los Angeles County cleared the church of responsibility for any such "outbreak."
MacArthur has long fought excessive COVID-19 restrictions and their double standards against churches. He warned that power-hungry politicians have blown the coronavirus pandemic out of proportion.

Interesting, but no pulpit confirmation was actually required. We've been observing the "freefall" for decades. The real quandary is exactly what can be done about it ?
#2
Morality starts with an individual commitment to act morally. There is actually lots of that going on, though mostly people don’t trumpet becoming one of the good guys.
It's Kurt.
[Townhall] Is anyone else too old to start living on his knees? See, submission is not in the cards. The question is whether preserving our freedom means dissolving the Union. And though our alleged betters tell us we are not allowed to think about that horrible prospect, it’s the ruling caste itself that raised the question.
When you get a vile clown like Chuck Schumer promising to "change America" if he steals another Georgia election in the coming run-off, it only reaffirms that we don’t want to "change America" — at least not into the Venezuela-lite he and his coterie of neo-Marxist bother-wedders, fake Indians, and buck-tooth morons want. We’re not living in a dictatorship of the mediocre-tariat, or of anyone else, period. That’s non-negotiable. Nor does any alleged conservative principle of the kind pushed by supine gimps of the Mitt n’ French variety bind us to do so.
And yet there’s a huge chunk of America seemingly determined to suppress, disenfranchise, and even harm us. Save your gaslighting, hacks, I’m on Twitter, and every day I see people threatening us with, on the mild end, "reeducation" to "truth and reconciliation commissions" to outright murder.
I will not be reeducated or reconciled, and if you propose to murder me, I suggest you get your affairs in order.
In a situation like we are in today, with America polarized and the Establishment and its serfs dedicated to an agenda of oppression aimed directly at the patriot faction — oddly, the people who are so eager to rule this country also tend to hate this country — can we even survive as a nation? Should we?
I'm not the only one who has wondered if America might break apart because of leftist idiocy, and some people, in their despair at the venality and stupidity of far too many of our countryman, think it is the only way to resolve our crisis. This is profoundly misguided. Yes, it is daunting. We have a whole younger generation raised on SJW nonsense, but the fact is that it is nonsense. That's a huge advantage – what we believe in, like individual rights, freedom of speech, and economic liberty, are things history teaches people hold so dearly they will fight and die for them. Who is the millennial who will die for the "right" to have his student loan paid off or to be addressed as "xir"? The left's alleged values are ridiculous – they are not even values at all, but rather tools they use to leverage power over polite people ("Sure Jimmy, you're a girl now. Fine. Whatever.") and a means for losers to find camaraderie. Their whole garbage ideology is built on sand. And we're going to just hand a big chunk of our country over to these ridiculous people?
Not on your life.
We're not going anywhere. We're not retreating. We're not hiding. We're not pulling into our conservative shell like some right-wing tortoise. This is our country.
We built it. We feed it. We fuel it. We defend it. And we're not giving away any of it or ceding a single inch to a bunch of corrupt incompetents with delusions of dictatorship.
This is where we make a stand, for the Constitution and for our country.
Hey leftists, listen up. Shut up for a second and listen good. America is not doomed. We aren't going to become serfs, and we aren't going anywhere.

I think the US will stay together but we'll get more of a pre-Civil War system of powerful states and weaker central government.

See...the thing is.. we're not a democracy. We're a Republic. We elect our leaders to speak for us. At least that was the case until a few weeks ago. We elected no one. Our rights were stolen from us by a host of bad actors. You all know their names. Right now, we're bordering on kleptocracy. If this stands, full blown Socialism is right around the corner. Remember what they say.."You can vote your way into Socialism but you have to shoot your way out. My God have mercy on our national soul.

Splitting apart would be very complicated. Most of California's land mass is red. All the cities in Texas are blue. It's not North vs South or Coasts vs Flyover. It's mostly urban vs rural.
#8
On my opinion, the country won’t split. More people will continue moving from Blue states and cities to Red, and there discover that the Deplorables aren’t actually as horrible as they were told. In the process they will become more conservative in outlook, no matter how they label themselves, and enjoy rearing their children in good school systems. More states as a result will have Red control from top to bottom, which will be reflected in clean elections and greater control of both Houses of Congress.
The True Believers will mostly find ways to stay behind in their ever-shrinking Blue territories, rejoicing in the reduced crowding in their favourite locations and doing their best to avoid the new taxes, increased violence. They also won’t have many children.
[Consent Factory] Break out the Wagner, folks ... the Germans are back! No, not the warm, fuzzy, pussified, peace-loving, post-war Germans ... the Germans! You know the ones I mean. The "I didn’t know where the trains were going" Germans. The "I was just following orders" Germans. The other Germans.

Grom, South Dakota may be number one in the country, but last week North Dakota was number one in the entire world. South Dakota needs to try harder.

[Red State] As reported by RedState’s Bonchie earlier today, Joe Biden on Monday named longtime advisor Antony Blinken as his pick for secretary of state, assuming of course that Biden is eventually certified as the winner of the presidential election.
Like clockwork, the liberal media did what they have done for 10 months and will do for the next four years. Again, "assuming." They glowingly embraced Biden’s decision.
Bianna Golodryga, one among a multitude of CNN Trump-haters, snagged the following snippet from a Bloomberg article about Biden’s selection of Blinken — with a snide comment aimed at Trump thrown in, just for grins.

If you have no loyalty to me, I owe you no loyalty in return. You are not of my tribe. Don't ask members of my tribe to die defending your and yours.
BLUF:
[Washington Examiner] Carlson claimed the 2020 election was unfair in several other ways, part of a process that spanned across the entire year.
"On many levels, the system was rigged against one candidate and in favor of another. And it was rigged in ways that were not hidden from view. We all saw it happen. The media openly colluded with the Democratic nominees. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refused to explain what they would do if they were elected. That’s never happened before in any presidential election in American history. But the media allowed them to do it," he said.
"At the same time, beginning in the spring, Democrats used our public health emergency for nakedly partisan ends," he added, referring to the coronavirus pandemic. "They punished Trump supporters for trying to gather, but they exempted their own activists, rioters, and vandals from BLM [Black Lives Matter] and antifa from the COVID lockdowns entirely."
He said the restrictions Democrats did enforce "crushed" small businesses, which he said are "the heart" of the Republican Party, while their own donors got richer. He named Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and said the world's wealthiest man saw his net worth jump by more than $70 billion during the pandemic.
"Then, Democrats used the coronavirus to change your system of voting. They vastly increased the number of mail-in ballots because they knew their candidates would benefit from less secure voting, and they were right," he said.
"They used the courts to neutralize the Republican Party's single most effective 'get out the vote' operation, which, for generations, had been the National Rifle Association," Carlson continued. "Not enough has been written about this, but anyone on the ground saw it. Thanks to legal harassment from the Left, the NRA played a vastly reduced role in this election, and that made a huge difference in swing states like Pennsylvania and others."
Carlson said, "Above all" was how Democrats "harnessed the power of Big Tech to win this election," referring to how news is curated in Google and social media giants Twitter and Facebook deciding to "censor" ideas online.
"They rigged the election in front of all of us, and nobody did anything about it," he concluded.

You didn't have to vote for them if you didn't like that.

His point is that this election was a farce. Illegitimate.
There is no reason (other than perhaps self-preservation in some cases) for any citizen to believe that our elections are honest free and fair, or that rule of law prevails in America.
What you do with this knowledge depends on your appetite for risk.
But there's no denying it anymore: our Republic is finished. We now have a farcical Oligarchy characterized by wholesale lying and systemic fraud.

Tucker is the most dangerous fraud in America, and an idiot.
He can, without evidence, claim "electronic voting is not secure" but viciously slander Sidney Powell for days for doing the same, while ignoring her tsunami of publicly available evidence.
In the most grotesque, patronizing, disingenuous and nation-destroying statement ever uttered, because of the position he fraudulently built over months among patriots that trusted him.
Tucky. Doesn't realize Fox "sheep" have left the building. In droves.
#8
And money isn't an object. Tucker's father's second wife is Patricia Swanson, heiress to the Swanson Foods fortune and niece to Senator J. William Fulbright. She adopted Tucker and his brother Buckley. Remember the Clinton connection with Fulbright? There's no way he can turn his sinking ship around and lure his viewers back. Tucker's moniker of being the "Sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and "Group Think" was all a ruse.

The below is a lagniappe at the bottom of an interesting blog post from a former Rolling Stone reporter about the current state of the election.

NATIONAL SECRETARIAT FOR COVID-19 AFFAIRS (lightly edited)
SECRETARIAT BANS MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION AND POSSESSION OF TURKEYS WEIGHING MORE THAN NINE POUNDS
Measure to combat the spread of COVID-19 at gatherings
WASHINGTON, DC — The Secretariat today announced an emergency ban on the manufacture, distribution and possession of frozen or cooked turkeys weighing more than nine pounds, effective immediately. This common-sense new measure is required to combat the spread of COVID-19 during the upcoming holidays.
"Large turkeys encourage gatherings of family and friends. These groups are known to congregate in private homes to engage in conversation, laughter, and religious observances such as the saying of grace. Activities like these pose a grave threat to democracy," said Secretariat spokesperson Gretchen Whitmer.
"We encourage Americans of all genders to celebrate Thanksgiving
alone in a dark room streaming the Lions game on their smartphones," Whitmer added. For their own personal safety and sanity, game viewers should wear a mask over their nose and mouth, and another mask over their eyes.
The Party also announced a limited amnesty for consumers already in possession of turkeys weighing more than the proscribed limit. To take advantage of the amnesty, consumers must deliver their partially defrosted turkey to a local Secretariat official no later than Wednesday, November 25 2020. Consumers who also provide a re-heatable side dish and a dessert will be eligible to receive points under the Secretariat's forthcoming social credit program.
The credits may be used to earn privileges such as interstate travel or taking a walk outdoors.
Recognizing the Secretariat's commitment to core first amendment values, the new rules include an exemption for turkeys consumed at sanctioned protests, provided that mass media stakeholders certify the events as mostly peaceful. The exemption also applies to homeless encampments.
Consumers are cautioned that the possession of multiple smaller turkeys weighing more than nine pounds in total is prohibited. Possession of more than eight ounces of cranberry sauce is also prohibited.
Immediate implementation of these guidelines is authorized under previously approved directives adopted in response to the COVID-19 emergency. Further information on these guidelines will be communicated as circumstances dictate.

It’s such a wonderful word, Bobby. I first saw it in Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Harriet Beecher Stowe grew up in Cincinnati before the Civil War, back when the city was the summer holiday destination for moneyed Southerners. Her father established a school here, and it was here that she met her husband at one of the many literary clubs popular at the time.
