US Elections (& Politics) :)

Notice no one mentions the Labor Participation Rate, which is on the decline as well. So, if there are less people in the workforce the unemployment rate will drop as a result. It's all part of the "look at this bright, shiny, object over here and ignore the dumpster fire over there" philosophy.

Somehow I suspect the number cookers will find a way to juggle the numbers and claim those who refuse vaccinations and lose their jobs due to mandates are "no longer willing to participate" in the labor market .. so their unemployment numbers do not count to the official numbers.

Arrest illustrates how the Steele dossier was a political dirty trick orchestrated by Hillary Clinton

Special counsel John Durham’s indictment of Igor Danchenko, the principal source for the bogus Steele dossier used by the FBI as a basis for the Trump-Russia investigation, further illustrates that Durham has his sights set on the Clinton campaign.

Danchenko has been charged with five counts of lying to the FBI in interviews during 2017, as the bureau struggled in futility to verify outlandish allegations that Donald Trump and his campaign were clandestine agents of the Kremlin. Those allegations were compiled in the so-called Steele dossier, which the FBI relied on in obtaining surveillance warrants from a secret federal court.

The dossier was generated by the Clinton campaign. Its principal author was former British spy Christopher Steele. Steele’s main source was Danchenko, a Russian native based in the United States who worked at the Brookings Institution — a Washington think tank whose former president, Strobe Talbott, is a college friend of Bill Clinton’s who worked in the Clinton State Department.

At Brookings, Danchenko worked with Fiona Hill, later a member of President Trump’s National Security Council (and a key witness in the first Trump impeachment over the unrelated Ukraine controversy). It was through Hill that Danchenko became acquainted with Steele, who ran a London-based intelligence firm upon leaving MI-6, the British spy service.

Durham’s indictment alleges that Danchenko lied about two major points.

First, he fabricated the claim that the president of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce informed him that, during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump was involved in a well-developed “conspiracy of cooperation” with the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin. In reality, the indictment says, this conversation never happened.

The chamber president is not identified by name in the indictment. After the Steele dossier became public, however, there was intense speculation that the chamber’s founder, Sergey Millian, was a Steele dossier source. As I recounted in my book on Russiagate, “Ball of Collusion,” Millian denied being a source and trashed the dossier as “fake news created by sick minds.”

Danchenko is also alleged to have concealed that one of his sources for the information he provided to Steele was a longtime Democratic Party operative who was close to the Clintons — having worked on both of Bill Clinton’s successful presidential campaigns and Hillary Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign. This source was revealed on Thursday to be Chuck Dolan, a public relations executive who had Russian contacts, and referred to as “PR Executive-1” in the indictment.

Page Can’t Be Found’: PR Firm Deletes Clinton Advisor From Its Website After Trump Dossier News

Public relations firm kglobal deleted the company profile of executive Charles Dolan, a former advisor to both Bill and Hillary Clinton, from its website Thursday following his implication as a source of information for Igor Danchenko, a Russian analyst involved in creating the Steele dossier.

Danchenko was indicted by Special Counsel John Durham on several counts of lying to the FBI and arrested Thursday, The New York Times first reported. Danchenko, a Russian analyst, was used by British ex-spy Christopher Steele as a primary source of information in creating the infamous Steele dossier, which spurred allegations of collusion between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

Danchenko’s indictment revealed that one of the Russian analyst’s primary sources for information was Charles Dolan, who was labeled as “PR Executive-1” and whose identity was confirmed by The New York Times.

Good News Friday: Nov 5

Dear Patriots,


For many months, we have implored you to be strong, get healthy, gather and share information, be involved, pray and hold fast.

You have done so. And because you kept fighting and turned out to vote, we were able to watch an historic evening on November 3, 2021. It was made sweeter by the devastation we all felt a year ago.

Going forward things are going to look different. There is a new political coalition. Party lines are no longer important.

Parents and grandparents in Virginia educated themselves on the horrifying curriculum both private and public schools were pouring into their dear children, and they went to the school board meetings.

They argued, yelled, cried, and begged these so-called "public servants" to listen to them. Most of the pleas were ignored. For their efforts on behalf of their children, the parents were vilified, arrested, silenced, and harassed.

They did not stop. They never backed down. They organized and educated.

None of this was easy. But the results were worth it all.

Virginia, whose motto is, Sic Semper Tyrannis (Thus Always to Tyrants), did not suffer the tyrants who were harming the children. They did not riot and burn down cities. They used the power of voting to correct the wrong.

We are proud of Virginians today and share with you a truly Good News Friday!

1- If you have not seen the video of the victory speech by the impressive Winsome Sears, take a few minutes to watch it in full. The Lt. Governor-Elect of Virginia is a fascinating person and breath of fresh air in politics.
(Conservative Opinion)
Republican Winsome Spears Victory Speech "There are some who want to divide us and we must not let that happen"

QUOTE: During her Victory speech Republican Lt. Governor-elect of Virginia Winsome Spears declared "Education will lift us all out of poverty.""We're going to have safer neighborhoods, safer communities, and our children are going to get a good education," she added.

2- There were tremendous gains in Pennsylvania particularly with judges at all levels.

Republicans SWEEP Pennsylvania elections

QUOTE: Republicans have won massive victories across all statewide races in Pennsylvania, according to the state's election results, sweeping the state's judicial elections.

In Pennsylvania's Supreme Court race, conservatives held onto retiring Republican Justice Thomas Saylor's seat. Republican Commonwealth Court Judge Kevin Brobson defeated Democrat Superior Court Judge Maria McLaughlin by more than 100,000 votes, a massive judicial victory. However, Democrats still outnumber Republicans in the state's highest court 5-2.

Republicans' decisive victories across the Keystone State could be seen as a referendum on Joe Biden, whose support stands at a meager 39 percent approval to 51 percent disapproval, according to a November Civiqs poll. Biden was certified as the winner of Pennsylvania in the 2020 election over Donald Trump by one percent, although the results have been disputed.

3- A totally improbable election in New Jersey where a truck driver defeated one of the most powerful politicians in the state. Not surprisingly, the losing Democrat is shouting about voter fraud. Remember, we are supposed to have a citizen government. A restoration of common sense in government is most welcomed.
(The Federalist Papers)
Conservative Trucker with No Political Experience Set to Win Shock Victory Over Dem NJ Senate President

QUOTE: A self-funded, conservative truck driver with no prior political experience is poised to defeat incumbent Democratic New Jersey state Senate President Stephen Sweeney following a national backlash against Democrats during Tuesday's off-year elections.

Sweeney, who represents Gloucester, is described by NJ.com as "the second-most-powerful elected state official" after Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy. He is also the longest-serving state Senate president in Garden State history.

Following an evening of victories from Virginia to Texas for underdog Republicans, it appears Republican Edward Durr will defeat Sweeney.

As of Wednesday morning, Durr led the political veteran by roughly 2,000 votes in a race that had yet to be officially called.

Slate of conservative candidates declare victory in hotly contested Denver suburb school board race

QUOTE: A slate of political novices in Douglas County, Colorado, declared victory Tuesday night in a school board race that made national headlines.

Christy Williams, one of four "Kids First" candidates, read off initial results to raucous applause at a supporter appreciation party in Parker, Colorado, in the moments after polls closed.

"I am humbled to my core," Williams told Fox News. "I think there's a lot to look at, but ultimately I hope to give parents the ultimate authority over their children."

Williams was joined by Mike Peterson, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar. Together, they hold a lead over the teacher federation-backed CommUnity Matters slate, comprised of incumbent board members Krista Holtzmann and Kevin Leung and newcomers Ruby Martinez and Juli Watkins.

5- It was refreshing to see that voters in Minneapolis had the common sense to vote against abandoning police in their community, and that they did not listen to their elected officials.
(Hot Air)
Backfire: Minneapolis voters slam abolish-the-police proposal -- and city council

QUOTE: Democrats nationwide had already sounded retreat on "Defund the Police," but Minneapolis' city council had doubled down in an attempt to disband their police department. Rep. Ilhan Omar campaigned hard in her district on the charter amendment proposal, as did her predecessor and now Attorney General Keith Ellison, not to mention the city council members who pushed it.

The result? Backfire — in a big way.

Minneapolis voters on Tuesday rejected a proposal to replace the Minneapolis Police Department, crushing the hopes of supporters that outrage over the killing of George Floyd would lead to a historic experiment in transforming public safety.

While supporters insisted police would still be part of the department, opponents of the charter change hammered on themes that echoed in voters' reasons for saying no on question 2: Who's going to answer 911 calls? What's the plan for keeping the city safe?

Voters opposed the amendment by a 12-point margin, well short of the 51% needed to pass.

6- Read about the voting proposals pushed by the Democrats that were handily defeated by New York voters.
(HOT AIR)
NY state ballot proposals demonstrate how badly Dems have misjudged public sentiments

QUOTE: One of the bigger talking points among Democrats this year on the national level has been the "urgent need" to pass voting reform legislation, or at least what they're choosing to call "reform" in this matter. They are seeking to overhaul the way America votes, including doing away with voter ID laws everywhere, normalizing mass mail-in voting, and removing almost all limits on the voter registration process. We've heard these proposals being described by mainstream media talking heads as "very popular" but "opposed by Republicans."

But are they really all that popular or have the Democrats once again misread the mood of the nation? I would suggest that we can find a fairly solid answer to that question in the results of several ballot proposals that New Yorkers found on the reverse side of their ballots yesterday.

As I said, these are all Democratic priorities that are being pushed by liberals across the nation. They insist that these policies are "very popular" and opponents of such plans are trying to "make it harder for people to vote." Well, the Dems had an eye-opener in store for them in the very blue state of New York. All three of those proposals went down in flames.

7- Once again Governor DeSantis shows the way forward. We hope his plan is adopted in many states. He is able to have this new law enforcement group because he is actively recruiting police and firefighters who are being pushed out of Blue States.
(Just The News)
DeSantis unveils plan for new police force to pursue election crimes in Florida

QUOTE: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Wednesday he is creating a new police unit to pursue election crimes full-time and wants lawmakers to enhance penalties for those who cheat when they vote, signaling Republican efforts to enhance election integrity are far from over.

The Republican governor's announcement of the Office of Election Crimes and Security at a news conference in West Palm Beach, Fla., comes just months after he signed a law tightening security for mail-in ballots and as Republicans in many states seek statewide audits for the 2020 elections. "I guarantee you this: The first person that gets caught, no one is going to want to do it again after that," DeSantis said in describing the deterrent he hopes to create with the new investigative office.

DeSantis also called on the GOP-controlled Legislature to put additional restrictions on the use of drop boxes, suggesting he has soured on their value two years after the state first approved them. "I don't even think we should have drop boxes," he said. He said the new office would help focus on illegal election tactics such as ballot harvesting, in which third-parties illegally collect the ballots of voters and deliver them for counting.

Taking a day or two to bask in the victory is good; but, there is much more work to do.

We won a battle but the war rages on. The Left learned nothing from the election results. They are doubling down on their agenda.

Defending the Republic continuously works to aid in the legal defense of the political prisoners still trapped in a nightmare situation. While 400 prisoners were transferred out of the filthy, bug-infested cesspool of the DC jail, the January 6 political prisoners were not.

We continuously work to give advice and resources to people trapped by the Biden vaccine mandates. Watch our litigation on behalf of our military members here.

We never stop working to fix the voting laws in every state so we all can be assured every election is fair. We must demand paper ballots, hand-counted, and real citizen ID.

We ask that you continue to be with us and support these efforts.

And, of course: Read. Know. Share. Pray.

Hold Fast,
Sidney

Actually, there was figure for Labor Participation Rate on this morning's broadcast, I should have taken a picture of that, but YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT -- Unfortunately, there wasn't much discussion on that despite the fact that that figure was shown on TV multiple times during the talk :(
