US Elections (& Politics) :)

 
 
Career Politician. Someone that has lived off the taxpayer dole his whole life.

A 1987 clip of Joe Biden has resurfaced, showing him exaggerating his academic record, boasting that he graduated “in the top half of my class” - before he later admitted that he graduated 76th in a class of 85.

The former vice president, who’s currently the leading 2020 presidential candidate, was running back then for the Democratic Party's nomination for president when he got combative and made the blunder amid questioning by a reporter about his academic credentials at the Syracuse University College of Law.

“I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do I suspect. I went to law school on a full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship,” he told the reporter during a campaign stop in Claremont, New Hampshire.
“In the first year of the law school, I decided I didn’t want to be in law school and ended up in the bottom two-thirds of my class,” he continued. “And then I decided to stay, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.”
“And then I decided to stay, went back to law school, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.”
— Joe Biden
He added that he was an “outstanding student in the political science department” and “graduated with three degrees from college.”
Shortly after making the claims, Biden had to come out with a confession that he lied about his academic record and actually graduated 76th in a class of 85.
“I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inaccurate,” he told the New York Times in a statement.
“I did not graduate in the top half of my class at law school and my recollection of this was inaccurate.”
— Joe Biden
“I graduated from the University of Delaware with a double major in history and political science. My reference to degrees at the Claremont event was intended to refer to these majors - I said 'three' and should have said 'two,’” he added, though the newspaper points out that Biden actually received a single B.A. degree in history and political science.

During an interview with the Times, he also didn’t dispute the reports that he actually went on the law school “on half scholarship based on financial need” rather than full scholarship as he claimed.
“My recollection is - and I'd have to confirm this - but I don't recall paying any money to go to law school,” he said.

 
Criminal Complaint Filed with Wisconsin Elections Commission Against
Shady Claire Woodall-Vogg over Illegal Ballot Collections in Back Alley


In the early hours of November 4, 2020, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a batch of 143,379 ballots, all for Joe Biden were dropped into the state totals.

Last August we unearthed an email that shows the culprits behind the ‘drop’ were laughing about what they had done after the ballot drop!

We all now know about the many states that dropped huge numbers of ballots stealing the race for Joe Biden. On the morning of November 4th, America woke up to see the results of the massive fraud in multiple swing states.

In Wisconsin, over 140,000 ballots for Joe Biden alone were dropped in Milwaukee, giving Biden the lead.

We’ve referred to this fraudulent tactic as the drop and roll.

In August, The Gateway Pundit uncovered an email to Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director for elections in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

In the email the sender, Ryan Chew, from the Election Group shared:

“Damn, Claire, you have a flair for drama, delivering just the margin needed at 3:00 am. I bet you had those votes counted at midnight, and just wanted to keep the world waiting.”

Ms. Claire is the Executive Director of the Election Commission of the city of Milwaukee.

They were laughing about her late night ballot drop!

Just wait till next year when they get the bill from the IRS and what was paid off is now listed as unreported income that they will have to declare on their taxes. Anyone remember the money from Cash-4-Clunkers?
 
Zuckerberg says FBI pressure led Facebook to censor Hunter Biden laptop story

Appearing on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast on Thursday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg alleged that the FBI warned the company of a "Russian propaganda dump" prior to the New York Post publishing a story that included damaging information on then-candidate Joe Biden from his son Hunter Biden's laptop.

DOJ Finally Releases 2019 Memo Absolving Trump of Everything Documented in Mueller Report

The Justice Department has released a 2019 memo that put to rest any prosecution of former President Donald Trump over allegations contained in the Mueller report.

Special counsel Robert Mueller, whose investigation was criticized by Trump, was hired to probe allegations of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. He found no such connections.

However, Mueller’s report cited 10 instances in which he believed there could have been possible obstruction of justice, without saying if they merited prosecution, according to NBC News.

That prompted a DOJ review, which culminated in the nine-page memo released Wednesday. The memo said there was no justification to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice.

The memo was released after the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit. The DOJ opposed the request, but lost the case in court, NPR reported.

The memo said Trump’s requests to fire Mueller were made “not for an illegal purpose, but rather because he believed the investigation was politically motivated and undermined his administration’s efforts to govern.”

The memo stressed that Trump wanted to end the distractions caused by the probe.

“The President’s public statements could be viewed as efforts to defend himself from public criticism related to the Special Counsel’s investigation or to discourage the witnesses from making what the President believed might be false statements in exchange for a lesser sentence. Those statements do not warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice,” the memo said.

“In the absence of an underlying offense, the most compelling inference in evaluating the President’s conduct is that he reasonably believed that the Special Counsel’s investigation was interfering with his governing agenda.

“Even if the President were objectively wrong about the intentions of the Special Counsel, many, if not all, of his actions could be viewed as lacking the intent element under the relevant statutes,” the memo said.

The memo touched on Trump’s dismissal of FBI Director James Comey and a comment he made to Comey related to an investigation of former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

“The President’s expression of ‘hope’ that Comey would ‘let this go’ did not clearly direct a particular action in the Flynn investigation, and Comey did not react at the time as though he had received a direct order from the President,” the memo said.

The result, the memo said, was that prosecution was not warranted.

“A fair evaluation of the special council’s findings and legal theories weighs in favor of declining prosecution,” the memo said.

“While cataloguing actions that the president took, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constituted obstructive acts, done with a nexus to a pending proceeding, with the corrupt intent necessary to warrant prosecution under the obstruction-of-justice statutes.”

Mueller’s “thorough investigation did not establish that the President committed any underlying crime related to Russian interference,” the memo said, noting that “it would be rare for federal prosecutors to bring an obstruction prosecution that did not itself arise out of a proceeding related to a separate crime.”

“Having reviewed the Report in light of the governing legal principles, and the Principles of Federal Prosecution, we conclude that none of these instances would warrant a prosecution for obstruction of justice, without regard to the constitutional constraint on bringing such an action against a sitting president,” the memo said.

“In addition, we believe that certain of the conduct examined by the Special Counsel could not, as a matter of law, support an obstruction charge under the circumstances.”

Good News Friday

Dear Patriots,


We share with you some good news on a Wisconsin election case.

On Wednesday, Wisconsin Federal Judge, Pamela Pepper denied sanctions motion of Governor Tony Evers, and ruled that she did not have jurisdiction and alternatively, even if she did, no sanctions were warranted under section 1927. This means she found the suit Sidney Powell and team filed in Wisconsin was not vexatious, frivolous, nor to delay.

Voters Moving to the Right Across Almost Every Demographic, Says Massive Survey

QUOTE: Morning Consult has reported five years' worth of data from over 8.6 million participants that shows a trend of America's registered voters moving steadily to the ideological right.

"The left is losing the battle for the minds of the American electorate, Morning Consult research shows, with voters decreasingly identifying as liberal in recent years," writes Morning Consult political reporter Eli Yokley. "But that doesn't mean the country is lurching to the right."

Yokley then makes an effort to pretend the trend isn't what it looks like: "Instead, an increase in the share of Americans who identify as moderate, or who are uncertain about where exactly they stand on the ideological spectrum, reveals a growing and electorally decisive center that is discontented with either side's extremes."

Except that the percentage of voters who identify as conservative actually increased slightly, while only those who call themselves liberal decreased. Call me crazy but that just sounds like Democrats are turning away from far-left ideology to become more moderate:

The share of the electorate who identifies as "very liberal," "liberal" or "somewhat liberal" on a seven-point scale has dropped over the past five years, from 34% to 27%, according to extensive annual Morning Consult survey research conducted among more than 8.6 million U.S. voters since 2017.

Meanwhile, "Even as Democratic voters drift toward the middle, the data shows that the Republican Party's adherents are shifting further to the right — and it's happening quickly," writes Yokley.

Or to put it another way, the whole country is moving in a rightward direction.

Red Wave: Florida Flips Multiple 'Woke' School Boards from Liberal to Conservative

QUOTE: Conservatives in Florida are fighting back against the left's mission to brainwash children.

The left is trying to force CRT, transgender propaganda and pronouns on young school kids.
The good guys won Tuesday.

"We saw massive election victories all throughout the state of Florida tonight," 1776 Project PAC founder Ryan Girdusky told Breitbart News Tuesday. "It shows the desire of parents and residents across the country for some normalcy in our education system, and that means pushing against transgender ideology, critical race theory, critical gender ideology, and equity which destroys merit in education."

"We just flipped the school board from a 3-2 liberal majority to 4-1 conservative."

Clay County
The Clay County school board is now 3-2 conservative majority.

Duval County
The Duval County school board which includes Jacksonville, flipped from liberal to conservative Tuesday evening.

Dutch Farmers: Political Pressure Grows on Govt to Back Down on EU-Driven Green Agenda

QUOTE: Dutch lawmakers broke into their summer vacations Tuesday to debate the government's contentious plans to slash nitrogen emissions that have sparked angry protests by farmers.

The debate was called after Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra said in a newspaper interview that the goal of reducing emissions by 50% by 2030 was not set in stone. Hoekstra's Christian Democrats party, which traditionally wins votes among farmers and in rural communities, has been losing support in polls since the government published its nitrogen targets.

Lawmaker Geert Wilders, whose Party for Freedom is the largest opposition group in parliament and who called for the debate, also used it to criticize the government for not doing enough to tackle a cost-of-living crisis that is hitting the Netherlands and many other European nations amid soaring energy costs and inflation. "This Cabinet is totally detached from reality," Wilders said as the debate began. He said he would file a motion of no confidence in the government later in the debate.

Farmers argue that will force many of them out of business and destroy rural communities reliant on agriculture. To protest the measures, they have dumped manure and garbage, including asbestos, on highways over the summer and blockaded supermarket distribution centers to halt the flow of food to stores.

4- A group of 1,100 scientists from around the world have joined to declare there is no climate emergency. Follow the science!

Power Line

What Climate Crisis?

QUOTE: A new group called Climate Intelligence (Clintel for short) has been founded in the Netherlands with the express purpose of combatting the extremism of the climate change campaigners. One of their early efforts is a statement, signed by 1,100 scientists and policy experts from around the world, that argues "There Is No Climate Emergency."

The summary of their case is worth noting here in full:

Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming

The geological archive reveals that Earth's climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.

Warming is far slower than predicted

The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.

Climate policy relies on inadequate models

Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as policy tools. They do not only exaggerate the effect of greenhouse gases, they also ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 is beneficial. CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is favorable for nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also profitable for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

Global warming has not increased natural disasters

There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.

Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities

There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. Go for adaptation instead of mitigation; adaptation works whatever the causes are.

OUR ADVICE TO THE EUROPEAN LEADERS IS THAT SCIENCE SHOULD STRIVE FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE CLIMATE SYSTEM, WHILE POLITICS SHOULD FOCUS ON MINIMIZING POTENTIAL CLIMATE DAMAGE BY PRIORITIZING ADAPTATION STRATEGIES BASED ON PROVEN AND AFFORDABLE TECHNOLOGIES.

5- Winning these battles happens city by city, state by state. It takes parents standing up and being forceful about their opposition to leftist education policies.

Wisconsin School Board Bans Pride, BLM Flags From Classrooms

QUOTE: A Wisconsin school board voted Tuesday to prohibit the displaying of LGBTQ pride and Black Lives Matter flags in classrooms.

The Kettle Moraine school board in Wales, Wisconsin, examined a policy that prohibits educators and staff from "promoting partisan politics and sectarian religious views" which Superintendent Stephen Plum clarified to include pride and Black Lives Matter flags, according to Fox 6. The board approved the policy at the meeting, claiming that the flags are a violation of the code of conduct because they are political.

The vote also prohibits teachers from including their pronouns in email signatures, Plum said. Public comment was open at the school board meeting but was closed after an hour.

North Dakota School Board Reinstates Pledge of Allegiance After Week-Long Backlash

QUOTE: North Dakota's Fargo School Board reinstated the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of its board meetings after one week's worth of backlash following the Board's decision to ban the Pledge.

Since April, the Fargo School Board has been starting every meeting by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. However, the school board determined its Pledge of Allegiance policy violated the Board's diversity, equity, and inclusion policies during an August 9 meeting.

The school board's decision came down to the Pledge's inclusion of the words "under God."

Fargo School Board's decision to ban the Pledge of Allegiance sparked outrage locally and nationwide.

Fargo School Board's decision also prompted a response from North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R), who announced on Monday that his administration would work closely with North Dakota's legislature to pass legislation that protects every student and statewide elected official's right to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Mike Lindell's action-packed "Moment of Truth" Election Summit

QUOTE: Mike Lindell's "Moment of Truth" election summit in Springfield, Missouri, last weekend gathered hundreds to bear witness to documented evidence of election fraud across the country.
The event spanned two 12-hour days, each packed with nonstop information, now available at Lindell's Frank Speech website or through his app.

The weekend featured presentations by election-integrity experts such as:
• former Michigan state senator and poll challenger Patrick Colbeck, author of The 2020 Coup. What Happened. What We Can Do.;
• former Trump legal advisor and Newsmax contributor Jenna Ellis;
• attorney and Trump advisor Kurt Olsen, who is attempting to bring the 2020 election under U.S. Supreme Court scrutiny;
• technology expert and inventor Jovan Pulitzer, who revealed real-time hacking of voting machines in Georgia and participated in the Arizona audit;
• founder of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association Richard Mack;
• former Wisconsin state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman.

Their speeches were followed by a massive presentation called the "State of the States." Delegates from each state — from citizen activists to elected representatives — revealed what they said were systematic efforts to influence elections via voting machines and counterfeit ballots. (Two states were unable to send delegates, so they delivered status reports instead.)

8- This is a great analysis of the shift in sentiment against the mediocre, incompetent elite class. We pulled a few quotes but be sure to read the whole thing.

Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness

The Worst and the Stupidest?

QUOTE: Our elites are now viewed with the disdain they have earned on their own merits. And they are none too happy about it.

The elite found in the truly poor—neglecting their old union-member, blue-collar Democratic base— an outlet for their guilt, noblesse oblige, condescension at a safe distance, call it what you will. The poor if kept distant were fetishized, while the middle class was demonized for lacking the taste of the professional classes, and romance of the far distant underclass. Second, race became increasingly divorced from class—a phenomenon largely birthed by guilty, wealthy, white elites and privileged, diverse professionals. For the white bicoastal elite, it became a mark of their progressive fides to champion woke racialism that empowered the non-white of their own affluent class, while projecting their own discomfort with and fears of the nonwhite poor onto the middle class as supposed "racists," despite the latter's more frequently living among, marrying within, and associating with the "other." The net result was more privilege for the elite and wealthy nonwhites, more neglect of the inner-city needy, and more disdain for the supposedly illiberal clingers, dregs, deplorables, chumps, and irredeemables.
In short, money and education certification were no longer synonymous with any sense of competency or expertise. Just the opposite often became true. The universities are turning out mediocre graduates without the skills or knowledge of a generation ago, but certainly with both greater debt and arrogance. The masses increasingly view the elites' money, their ZIP codes, their degrees and certificates, and their titles not just with indifference, but with the disdain they now have earned on their own merits. And that pushback has made millions of our worst and stupidest quite mad.
