DOJ Threats Unlawful
In recent weeks the Department of Justice (DOJ) has tried to bully states into not removing ineligible persons from their voter rolls by citing the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). The DOJ claimed that no changes can be made during a so-called "quiet period provision" 90 days prior to election day and filed suits against Alabama, South Dakota, Texas, and Virginia for removing the names of aliens and other ineligible persons from the rolls.
The phrase "quiet period" is not in the NVRA. The 90-day window only applies to eligible registrants who have moved to a different residence. The intent being to not disenfranchise legitimate voters who may not have been able to register at their new address in time to cast a ballot on election day. It does not apply to persons who were never eligible to register in the first place like aliens, minors, felons, the dead, fraudulent registrations of any kind, and mentally incompetent individuals.
In 2013, the US Supreme Court ruled that "the Elections Clause empowers Congress to regulate how federal elections are held, but not who may vote in them." In 2019, an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled that "while the NVRA affirmatively requires states to register eligible voters, if an applicant is not eligible to vote under state law, a state would have no obligation to register the applicant."
Attorney General Merrick Garland warned that "states that defy our interpretation of the NVRA are acting at their own risk. If Trump wins the election our suit will likely be canceled. But if he loses, our efforts will be redoubled by President Harris. Additional Justices will be appointed to the Supreme Court and the human right of voting for all persons regardless of citizenship will be established by its new progressive majority."
IRS Whistleblower Punished
IRS Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley who testified to Congress about his superiors' intention to let Hunter Biden's tax evasion slide has been notified that he must resign or be demoted. The punitive action was sparked by the publication of an interview Shapley had with journalist Catherine Herridge in which he discussed how he had been denied expected promotions since his whistleblowing testimony.
A spokesperson for IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel explained that "Shapley did not have permission to testify to Congress. The fact that he went ahead and did it anyway was an act of insubordination. Naturally, this disobedience made him ineligible for promotion. He failed to gracefully accept this warranted punishment. Instead, he upped the ante by complaining to a reporter. This further insubordination merits a second round of disciplinary action. He will either learn his proper place or be punished until he does or leaves the IRS."
Tristan Leavitt, the lawyer representing Shapley, said "the Whistleblower statute was enacted to protect government employees from being punished for exposing the misdeeds of their superiors. Without this law corruption and abuse of authority by our government would have no internal checks or balances. The special treatment my client's superiors attempted to grant to President Biden's son is the type of misdeed that the Whistleblower statute is designed to discourage. Punishing Mr. Shapley for having the courage to report this misdeed to Congress is an abuse of power that must not be allowed to stand."
Trump Win Will Destroy Media
Growing signs that Trump may win the election are unnerving media moguls. One network executive told New York Magazine writer Charlotte Klein "as a group, 85% of our coverage of Trump has been negative. In contrast, 78% of our coverage of Harris has been positive. How can this not have doomed Trump's candidacy? If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president, that means we've lost this audience completely. A Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form."
"The partnership we've had with the Biden Administration to discredit and censor dissenters from the progressive way of thinking will be shattered," he went on. "All kinds of misinformation will be permitted to pollute the minds of Americans. Once trusted authorities will be distrusted, challenged, or even mocked. No one will know who to believe. In hindsight, I guess we should've gone 100% negative on Trump and 100% positive on Harris. It seems that trying to give an appearance of balance and fairness undermined the more important objective of unifying the nation behind a single way of thinking."
Byron York, political correspondent for the Washington Examiner newspaper, suggests that the media's heavy bias against Trump may have backfired, saying "the wildly negative media coverage is actually causing many Americans to view Trump more favorably. After all, the media is one of the least-trusted institutions in American public life, and if top media figures say something, millions of Americans are likely to believe the opposite."
In related news, CNN dinged Harris for running pro-Israel ads in Pennsylvania where a lot of Jews reside and anti-Israel ads in Michigan where a lot of Antisemites reside, saying "such blatant duplicity is not an admirable quality for a person seeking the nation's highest office."
Bill Clinton Urges Vote for Harris/Walz
At a campaign stop in Michigan, former President Bill Clinton explained why voters should back the Harris Walz ticket. "I know many think they should vote for Trump because he was better for the economy," he observed. "But that doesn't mean he would be better for the country."
"Consider the issue of immigration," Clinton suggested. "Trump tries to portray the Democrats' support for open borders as a negative. Sure, there have been a few murders that wouldn't have happened if so many unvetted folks hadn't been allowed in. This negative is small and of short duration. The positives are large and enduring. These migrants will have the millions of babies that American citizens won't have. Growing our population is crucial if we want to have enough workers to pay the taxes needed to keep Social Security from going bankrupt. Trump's plan to secure the border will hasten this bankruptcy."
Former President Trump said "the flaw in President Clinton's logic is that the people the Democrats are letting in are an immediate economic burden. They are being housed and fed in hotels at great expense. There is no plan to put them to work. The job skills of most of them are unlikely to qualify them for any but the lowest paying types of jobs. The millions of babies that they have will qualify them to receive welfare benefits. The notion that this will save Social Security from bankruptcy is ridiculous."
"When the burdens of importing millions of illegal immigrants into our country is paired with the damage that Democrats plan to do to our economy with their crazy policies to increase taxes on work and output, institute government price controls, further expand the federal bureaucracy, and continue to fund foreign wars, it is clear that electing Harris and Walz would be a colossal disaster," Trump added.
In related news, a report from the House Judiciary Committee revealed that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris coordinated with the United Nations (UN) to "fast-track" migrants into the United States, using $70 million in American taxpayer dollars. Their State Department's Safe Mobility Initiative allows aliens to sidestep the southwest border and be flown directly to their desired destinations inside the United States. Small towns around the nation have been inundated with waves of migrants that have driven up home prices, rents, and exacerbated city budget shortfalls.
If Abortions Are Outlawed...
In a speech at Harris campaign event in Michigan, former First Lady Michelle Obama tried to explain how horrible America would be if the Democrats lose the election.
"The most obvious downside of an abortion ban would be an increase in the number of women who die during child birth," she pointed out. "Men, you have no clue what we women are going through. Don't let the women you love die because they can't get abortions."
"Another big factor to consider is having to drop out of college to raise a child," she added. "Your lifetime earnings could take a significant hit without that college degree."
"Even if you have no intention of going to college a ban on abortion could ruin your life," she warned. "Just this week we learned that Fleetwood Mac, one of the best ever rock bands, was saved by the abortion lead singer Stevie Nicks got in 1979. She realized that it would be cruel to drag her baby with her on tour with the band and didn't want to abandon the baby to a nanny or give it up for adoption, so she mercifully terminated her pregnancy and saved both her career and the careers of her band mates."
While the former First Lady's pitch was passionate, it was also based on one big lie. The failure to elect Harris will not result in a ban on abortion. Currently, some states have severe limits on abortion, some have moderate limits on abortion, and others have no limits on abortion. The US Supreme Court has ruled that, under the US Constitution's Tenth Amendment, the authority to deal with the issue of abortion is reserved to the states. Donald Trump has expressed no intention of trying to secure a nationwide ban on abortion. He has expressed his opinion that the Supreme Court's decision acknowledging that authority rests with the states is correct.
There is nothing to prevent a person living in a state with limits on abortion from traveling to a state where there are no limits. That this might entail some expense and inconvenience cannot justify the coercion that Democrats would like to impose by forcing every state to acquiesce to its extreme position. How extreme is this position? It would force taxpayers to fund abortions. It would compel doctors and other health care providers to perform abortions or lose their medical licenses. A less costly and less divisive approach would be for the proponents of unlimited abortion to seek donations to fund both the travel and surgeries desired by those too poor to pay their own way. This is what they would do if they truly wanted to unify the country.
Trump Rally Was Nazi Reenactment
At a campaign event in Nevada, Democrat nominee for vice-president Gov. Tim Walz told supporters that "the Trump rally in Madison Square Garden was a reenactment of a Nazi rally held at the same location in the 1930s." He went on to urge that his listeners to "google it to see for yourself."
Walz was undaunted by news that a group of ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews in New York officially endorsed former President Donald Trump on the Monday following the rally, saying "people who know history like I know history also know that there were Jews--Judenrats--who assisted the Nazis with their holocaust exterminations. So, we shouldn't be surprised to see similar rats here endorsing Trump's fascism."
Grand Rabbi Aharon Teitelbaum explained "we had extensive discussions prior to making the endorsement. The consensus was that based on what we have seen her do and say during her vice-presidency and campaign that a Kamala Harris presidency would pose a threat to Jewish people."
In related news, Walz apologized for calling Elon Musk "that gay guy. I meant to say that dipsh*t guy."
Roundup of the Latest Election "Irregularities"
In Pennsylvania, Gov. Josh Shapiro was admonished by a judge for sending uniformed police officers to impede Republicans trying to cast early ballots. GOP State Committeewoman Val Biancaniello asserted that "the police were violating the law by telling these voters to go home." So they arrested her. Her lawyer Linda Kerns said "state law says no voter should be told to go home. If they get in line before the posted closing time, each voter must be permitted to request, fill out, and return their mail ballot." The judge ordered that early voting be extended to 5 pm Friday, November 1. Bucks County election officials retaliated by under-staffing voting centers causing up to a six hour wait for many voters.
In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, over 700 fraudulent mail ballot request forms were received from Field+Media Corps, a subsidiary of Arizona's Fieldcorps. These ballot requests had duplicate names and addresses, as well as forged signatures. The Arizona's Fieldcorps's website listed a number of Democratic campaigns as clients including Biden-Harris, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly and other Arizona Democrats.
Over the weekend, thousands of voters in Pennsylvania received text messages from a pro-Harris PAC led by radical trans activist Charlotte Clymer's "AllVote" telling them they had already voted, or that they were not registered to vote. After getting caught, Clymer claimed "the texts were an unfortunate error made by a staff working long hours," and that "we have made changes to ensure this doesn't happen again."
In Michigan, Tim Vetter and Phani Mantravadi of Check My Vote revealed that Daily Absentee Voter Reports showed that 208,075 votes were cast in Michigan by 82,647 voters (based on their voter ID's). Data indicate that multiple ballots were received at the same address and voted each time on multiple ballots. After being apprised of this issue Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson reports that "we have scrubbed almost all of the duplicate ballots. So, as they say, 'no harm, no foul.'" On a separate issue, Benson admitted that "there is a nationwide programming problem with Dominion voting machines that prevents voters from making certain selections while voting." The Dominion voting machines used by many states are made in China and owned by the Venezuelan government.
In Georgia a group known as theGANerds_Real published a series of podcasts on Rumble documenting how the Georgia State Board of Elections (SBOE) has been creating and voting illegally cloned records. The original records include deceased voters, voters who have moved from the state, voters who have not voted for several years, and felons. ID numbers of the illegally cloned records are typically removed from the Georgia SBOE voter registration database once the fraudulent vote has been counted.
In Colorado, the Libertarian Party filed suit demanding that a hand count of ballots be used because the Secretary of State Jena Griswold left sensitive election system passwords exposed for months on her office's website. Hannah Goodman, the Libertarian Party state chair, pointed out that "any number of hackers could log into the voting machines and alter the vote totals. Bypassing the machines and resorting to hand counts is the only reliable way to ensure that the tallies cannot be hacked." Griswold questioned "whether the Libertarians have the legal standing to sue. They aren't going to win either a hand count or a machine count."
