Not for nothing did people fight wars over the definition of words. After all, homoiousios and homoousios are only one letter off from each other…but blood was spilled and an Empire was rocked to its core over it. Because homoiousios means that Jesus was like God while homoousios means Jesus is God. It is crucial, though the modern mind has a hard time understanding why. Had homoiousios triumphed then the West, the world you know, would have been exceptionally different. Almost certainly something like the Muslim world…Jesus eventually demoted to mere prophet with some later person able to change the message because, well, just one more prophet, right? But we were saved from that by the Council of Nicaea which defined the term for the whole Christian world. At that point, those holding to homoiousios were ultimately doomed because the gatekeeper was the Church and the correct term had been defined in Council.
You can, if you like, get into interminable arguments about whether that would have been a good or bad thing. As a believing Catholic, I say it would have been bad. It would have led to a world without salvation…a static, dead world with no real hope. The great achievements of Europe would never have surpassed the old Greco-Roman world. But that argument need not detain us here – what is important to take away is that words matter and who controls the words, wins.
This came into my mind when I saw yesterday a story both sad and absurd about a teenager being taken by his mother to another State for transition medicine after his State banned it for minors. We’ve all seen these stories – all designed to get us hating the people banning medical transition for minors, but that ain’t working – but for the millionth time I saw, “gender-affirming care”. That’s when it hit me: they are controlling the words and so framing the debate and essentially forcing us to battle on their ground. We can’t win as long as phrases like “gender-affirming care” are permitted. The heretics are now the gatekeepers.
And that isn’t the only thing; it is just what struck me at the moment. This is not a debate about the merits of transitioning. But it is a warning that if we don’t get control of the language, we can’t win. No matter what battles we might win at the State or federal level, as long as the heretics get to define what it is we’re doing, they’ll win. That is why, when I saw it, I pointed out that we need to change the term to the biologically correct wording: gender appearance modification. Because that is what they’re doing. They can’t change a person’s gender: all they can do is modify how a person looks. Sometimes quite remarkably, but that doesn’t change the underlying biological facts. By letting them get away with saying “gender-affirming care” we are essentially conceding their argument: that gender is a social construct and that if a person says they are a different gender then so they are.
I really don’t want us to get hung up on the one issue here – so, let’s also point out that “abortion is healthcare” is another heretical phrase being used to destroy the orthodox and correct, “kill an unborn child”. Do we really want to win the Life debate? Then we have to start being enforcers of orthodoxy: every time they say anything other than “kill an unborn child”, we say it…and where we can, we enshrine it into law: that is, we force official terminology to conform to our views. So, where a publicly funded hospital these days might say they performed 1,257 pregnancy terminations last year, we’ll force them to officially record 1,257 unborn children were killed last year. Heck, just the fun in forcing the Left to argue that kids weren’t killed is worth it: remember, the more people actually see what the Left wants, the less popular it becomes. But outside of that, it is the truth – and the most important thing for any human to do is adhere to truth. Haltingly, failing a lot of times, still each person must strive to be as truthful as they can at all times. The Truth does set you free – mostly because it allows you to live rationally.
What I’m asking is for you to all put on your Inquisitor hat. This will be a tough pill for you Protestants out there to swallow – but to be a bit brutal about it, the reason we have “medical aid in dying” up in Canada (rather than calling it by its proper name: murdering people for budgetary reasons) is because way back when Martin Luther said that people can deny the definitions settled by a Church Council. This is not me being mean: this is me just pointing out that when you start to allow private judgement to trump all, the heresies unleashed won’t just stop at denying the supremacy of the Pope. So, anyways: remain Protestant all you want, but channel your inner Torquemada all the same. In all things, look for the phrasing which is being used to deny obvious truth…and then call it out.
Because we must get control of the words – to force the Left to explain itself in our terms; the true terms. Let them go before the American people and be forced to say what they really want. And then let the chips fall where they may. I have a strong suspicion they’ll fall our way.
Blogs For Victory 
I’ve been making the same point about the Right using the terminology of the Left for years now. “Abortion rights” is heard from many conservatives. Look how often the word “insurrection” has crept into supposedly Conservative articles and commentary.
And let’s get real. There is a difference between a man truly believing he is really a woman, just born with a penis, and a man who wants to be or wishes he could be a woman. And this so-called “gender affirming” treatment is nothing more or less than an elaborate costume to help with the delusion. It’s not much different from the Japanese guy who wants to be a dog, or the woman who spent a fortune on surgeries to try to look like a human Barbie.
My friend Harriet Hageman spoke in the hearing about a bill proposed by LA Representative Mike Johnson, about banning so-called “gender affirmation” surgery on minors, comparing the procedures to other harmful medical crazes, calling gender transitions a “sexual lobotomy.” It is bizarre to see people ardently defending the “rights” of parents to permanently mutilate their children.
If a guy wants to be a woman, or wishes he could be a woman, that’s fine with me. He can dress like a woman, wear makeup, even give himself a feminine name, if that makes him feel better. But he has no right to demand that I participate in his mental illness, that I validate it by calling him “her” for example, and he has no right to force himself into exclusively female arenas, such as sports or locker rooms or rest rooms.
If a guy would feel awkward hiking up his skirt in front of a urinal I can understand that, but he can use a family restroom and have complete privacy.
That is basically the normal attitude – probably better than 90%: “hey, do what you want; be happy. But I’m not calling a guy in a dress a girl”.
And while it may seem small, it is so very crucial. The pronouns bit is mostly silly – but there is a razor underneath it; an expectation that we will turn our judgement over to another person and let them define the world for us. We can’t let that happen. Be “They/Them” all you want…but you’re a singular person and not plural even if you feel like you’ve got 20 distinct people inside. That is a you problem, not a me problem.
But even if we want to blow past that – and I know some people, decent and good people, who have (likely for family peace) – we must hold to the most crucial things here: gender is binary and it cannot be changed in reality. Appearances can have all sorts of things done to them, but the biological facts remain facts. And as I said, not just on the trans issue – there is so much more to consider. Each time they try to get us to use their grossly inaccurate terminology our souls are destroyed just a little more. We’re a little further away from Truth than before. We must start pushing back – and I think our best way is to refuse to use their words.
That is basically the normal attitude – probably better than 90%: “hey, do what you want; be happy.
That’s certainly the way it is in the Midwest, or maybe it’s just that I don’t associate with people who think and act differently. I don’t think I have ever had someone correct me when I failed to use the “accepted” pronoun. It’s also a generational thing. My daughter is more accepting than I am, and her daughter even more so.
My daughter is more accepting than I am, and her daughter even more so.
The effectiveness of social engineering indoctrination
Yep – it is why large numbers of especially white youngsters are identifying as gay and/or disabled; it is what they’re told to do because they just can’t be straight and white…that is socially unacceptable…and, so, they’re not…which does make it funny that rich white people are starting to absorb the “victim” slots but, hey, if gender is a construct then everything is.
We keep hearing that the United States is forever tainted by its brief history of slavery, in defiance of its bloody war to end it and its historic legislation to outlaw racism. But I think the true stain on our honor, one which will even top that of advocating for the many human atrocities linked to our border policies (including enabling human trafficking, sex slavery and enriching brutal drug cartels) will be our politically motivated drive to move to “green” energy sources.
All that Net Zero transformation equipment – plus transmission lines, substations and transformers – will require billions of tons of cobalt, lithium, copper, nickel, graphite, iron, aluminum, rare earths and other raw materials at scales unprecedented in human history. That will necessitate mining, ore processing, manufacturing, land disruption and pollution at equally unprecedented levels.
……………………………………
Just President Biden’s first tranche of US offshore wind turbines (30,000 megawatts by 2030) will require some 110,000 tons of copper, for the turbines alone. Transmission lines, transformers and batteries are extra. Based on average global ore concentrations, getting that copper would require extracting 40,000,000 tons of surface rock (overburden) and 25,000,000 tons of copper ore.
But those 2,500 12-megawatt 800-foot-tall turbines would provide barely enough electricity to power New York state on a hot summer day, if the wind is blowing, and before its Net Zero mandates kick in.
And that’s not even considering the damage to the undersea mammal population, as whales and dolphins are dying due to the disruptions in the water caused by these offshore turbines.
The Administration is laser-focused on ending the “climate crisis” by switching to “clean” energy. It has few qualms about importing the critically needed materials from foreign countries, primarily China – regardless of economic, defense, national security, ecological or human rights implications. It just wants the dirty aspects of “clean” energy far away and out of sight.
But what is worse is the enabling—no, not enabling but SUPPORTING—human rights atrocities and slavery that make out own brief period of slavery seem benign by comparison.
almost one-third of Congo cobalt is gouged from the earth by artisanal miners: men and women, and boys and girls as young as six. They and their families live and work in a treeless “hellscape of craters and tunnels patrolled by maniacs with guns.”
Noxious clouds of gas permeate air that even infants must breathe. Families fish, play and bathe in – and drink from – rivers and lakes contaminated with metals and industrial chemicals.
They labor ten to twelve hours a day in sweltering heat and toxic mud, water and dust, in enormous pits hundreds of feet deep – hacking at rocky walls and in long, narrow tunnels that collapse with frightening frequency. Injured miners may get initial medical care; then nothing.
In some areas, their clothing and skin are covered with mustard-colored dust – dried sulfuric acid from processing the ores. Almost everywhere, breast, kidney and lung cancers are rising, because adults, children and babies are exposed constantly to heavy metals and uranium in everything around them. High lead levels cause permanent neurological damage.
Billionaires like Gates and Zuckerberg and millions of virtue signaling Leftists lavishly fund “climate crisis” and “clean energy” campaigns. Have they spent one dime bringing decent wages, working conditions, living standards and medical care to Congo’s miners?
These human rights issues should top their charitable giving – and the agenda for anyone promoting ESG, Net Zero or batteries.
re: Offshore wind turbines and whale deaths
The recent deaths of seven whales off New Jersey, mostly humpbacks, got a lot of attention. The federal NOAA Fisheries agency is responsible for whales. An outrageous statement by their spokesperson got me to do some research on humpback whale deaths.
The results are appalling. The evidence seems clear that offshore wind development is killing whales by the hundreds.
Here is the statement as reported in the press:
“NOAA said it has been studying what it calls “unusual mortality events” involving 174 humpback whales along the East Coast since January 2016. Agency spokesperson Lauren Gaches said that period pre-dates offshore wind preparation activities in the region.” Gaches is NOAA Fisheries press chief.
The “unusual mortality” data is astounding. Basically the humpback death rate roughly tripled starting in 2016 and continued high thereafter. You can see it here:
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/national/marine-life-distress/2016-2023-humpback-whale-unusual-mortality-event-along-atlantic-coast
But the claim that this huge jump in mortality predates offshore wind preparation activities is wildly false. In fact it coincides with the large scale onset of these activities. This strong correlation is strong evidence of causation, especially since no other possible cause has appeared.
To begin with, offshore lease sales really geared up 2015-16, with nine big sales off New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Massachusetts. These sales must have generated a lot of activity, likely including potentially damaging sonar.
In fact 2016 also saw the beginning of what are called geotechnical and site characterization surveys. These surveys are actually licensed by NOAA Fisheries, under what are called Incidental Harassment Authorizations or IHA’s.
There is some seriously misleading jargon here. IHA’s are incidental to some other activity, in this case offshore wind development. They are not incidental to the whales. In fact the term “harassment” specifically includes injuring the whales. That is called “level A harassment”
A fascinating parallel to the data on whale deaths is the frantic scurrying of the Agenda Media to deny that factors like sonar and the constant underwater vibrations from active wind turbines are affecting whales, disrupting their natural navigational abilities and causing them to run aground. So much for the virtue signaling of the Left when it wants to lecture on the moral superiority of vegetarianism—they’re quite happy to support wholesale slaughter of wild animals in their pursuit of political agendas.
(And so much for the virtue signaling of blacks as they whine about the comment in Florida curricula about the fact that slaves often learned helpful skills, as they posture for the cameras and flout their outrage while studiously ignoring the current slavery and near-slavery and abuse of other blacks. Those who disobey mine overseers can get “locked in a shipping container with no food or water for up to two days.” At Kanina, two boys who tried to get more than the usual pittance for their 65-pound bags of ore were gunned down – murdered – by security guards. )
“Here it is better not to be born,” a mother lamented. A miner reflected, “Here we work in our graves.” Of course we fear the dangers, said another, “but if we do not work, we do not eat.”)
There is no debate about whether or not the leaders of the Green movement – in all areas – are bribed and/or stupid, it is just a matter of what is the proportion. I figure it is 60% stupid, 25% bribed and 15% bribed and stupid. There isn’t a single bit of reliable evidence that the Earth is even warming, let alone that humans are causing it if so. All data brought forward to support the concept is tainted and they always fight tooth and nail (usually successfully) to prevent us from seeing the underlying data. Their latest absurdity is that this month has been the hottest in 120,000 years…which is obviously ridiculous as we simply have no way of knowing. Heck, we don’t even really know what the global mean temperature was 25 years ago…we’ve only just now, as it were, started to systemically measure global temperatures. It’ll be a century before we have really reliable numbers on it.
When you dig a little deeper, through the crust of hysteria covering the terror of having lived through the hottest June in history, blah blah blah, you find that the mean global temperature was in the mid-60s. Oh, the horror!
What I find appalling and unforgivable is the media silence about the eruption of the undersea volcano described in Spook’s link about Hunga Tonga. How can anyone with even the most shallow pretense of serious interest in the climate ignore tons of lava (that) instantly vaporized fantastic, unimaginable amounts of sea water, which billowed into the atmosphere, changing the water composition of Earth’s atmosphere and heating it up for years. In only a few days, the superheated water from the Hunga Tonga eruption blanketed the globe, pole to pole, East to West.
The eruption was so big it could be clearly seen from space.
Why should this matter to anyone serious about investigating the causes of “global warming” (such as it is)? Well, because, as the article explains, …The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano … could remain in the stratosphere for several years.
………………………..
Over the next year it would turn out that NASA badly underestimated the amount of water Hunga Tonga vaporized into the atmosphere. Current estimates are three times higher than the original: scientists now think it was closer to 150,000 metric tons, or 40 trillion gallons, of super-heated water instantly injected into the atmosphere. Talk about a greenhouse. Water vapor — humidity — is a much more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
But as the article goes on to explain: “Here’s why corporate media is (sic) ignoring the most dramatic climate event in modern history: because you can’t legislate underwater volcanoes. You can try, but they won’t listen. So what’s the fun in that? Corporate media only exists (sic) to further political ends. Since volcanoes aren’t subject to politics, why bother?
And after all, even the corporate media can’t provide coverups for EVERYTHING, and providing cover for Hunter and Joe Biden plus advocating for more electric vehicles while studiously ignoring the environmental damage and human atrocities needed to support them are keeping them pretty busy. So rather than try to explain away the impact of thousands of tons of water vapor in the atmosphere causing temperatures to rise, they will just keep ignoring it.
If I had my life to live over again, I might have become an architect (though one who owns horses). I’ve always been fascinated by building design, especially of houses. One of the things I looked at when I was thinking of building a house was the use of water to warm the house. I loved a couple of plans that had solar envelopes containing large lap pools, which would absorb heat and radiate it out into the house when venting was opened from the envelope to the house. The concept of water storing heat and then warming the air around it is as old as mankind. When I had a ranch in ski country, at 9600 feet in altitude, I could go from the pasture level down the escarpment to the river, and in the relatively protected area near the river the air was noticeably warmer—that’s why the horses and deer and elk hung out there.
Yet our much ballyhooed “climate scientists” don’t seem to grasp the concept. At least they don’t seem to relate (1) the injection of super-heated water from volcanic vents deep in the oceans, water hot enough to melt lead, to rising ocean temperatures (none have evidently turned on the hot water tap to warm up a cooling bath) and (2) the warmer water then heating the air above it.
Why would sciency-types be so devoted to the odd concept that mankind is heating up the air through its industry, and then the heated air is warming the oceans? (Let’s not even talk about warmer air rising, not settling to water level….and as for solar gain, don’t even try to go there.) It could be political expediency, but it could also just be plain old ugly narcissistic hubris—the conviction that mankind is all-powerful, responsible for everything and able to control everything. The very concept of the planet controlling its own functions, and healing itself, is just not acceptable.
At the same time as we’ve started systemic measurement, we’ve reduced our ability to accurately do so. A reduced number of stations. Badly placed ones. Torturing what numbers we do have into irrelevancy to acquire a difference which is less than the statistical noise of the method of measurement. In some ways our measurements now are less accurate and reliable than 25 years ago.
Badly placed ones
Which makes a tremendous difference in the recorded temperatures. In 2007, while surfing around the Internet, I discovered a website called surfacestations.org, an all-volunteer study of USHCN (United States Historical Climatology Network) weather station sites all across the United States, run by Anthony Watts, a former California weatherman. The USHCN sites produce data that is used to quantify national and regional-scale temperature changes in the contiguous United States. A similar, less organized network exists globally. When you hear someone talking about changes in the average surface temperature, this is where the data comes from. By 2011 over 80% of the sites had been surveyed, and in 2012 Watts submitted a paper on his findings. The study showed that, due to instrument placement issues (in or next to asphalt parking lots, next to an AC exhaust, on an asphalt roof, etc.), 21.5% of the sites had a temperature error rate of 1 degree, 64.4 % had an error rate of 2 degrees, and 6.7% had an error rate of 5 degrees. I think it was at this point that I realized that a great many “scientists” were engaged in one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on civilization.
The green energy agenda is the most environmentally destructive agenda ever. And that fact is not even debatable. Also, I read yesterday that Ford has lost over $4 billion in their EV “investment”, which is good to hear. The huge losses of money will eventually end the agenda.
… our souls are destroyed just a little more
And that’s their goal. We are in a spiritual battle with the Left. It’s not political. They are just currently using the political arena in which to battle, but make no mistake, if we begin to turn the political tide, they will and have used the courts, and will and have become physically violent, and this will all continue until they are thoroughly defeated. We all have to remember too that the issues currently dividing us, cater to less than 2% of the population. That is who they are. We are the 98% … don’t ever forget that
Devon Archer testifies tomorrow, and the Biden’s are trying to throw him in prison before he does. YCMTSU
The green energy agenda is the most environmentally destructive agenda ever. It is also the most morally destructive, as its message of moral superiority cloaks a profoundly despicable and morally corrupt indifference to the suffering it causes.
Devon Archer testifies tomorrow, and the Biden’s (sic) are trying to throw him in prison before he does. Before Epstein I would have said he would be safer in prison. Now, ?????? With the Department of “Justice” wholly and publicly in the bag, prison could be the most dangerous place in the world for him.
Well, not as dangerous as a cobalt mine in Africa or between Nadler and a buffet table, but still…..
Bill Barr says he’ll jump off BRIDGE if Donald Trump wins GOP 2024 nomination
I’m strongly considering voting for Trump now … lol
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12353759/Bill-Barr-says-hell-jump-BRIDGE-Donald-Trump-wins-GOP-2024-nomination.html
It is a major endorsement of Trump.
I have to admit, that could move the bubble in Trump’s favor. If Fauci and Schumer promise to join him, Trump could have a landslide.
Speaking of which, someone should start a GoFundMe drive to buy Schumer glasses that fit.
Dr. Mercola, in Florida, has also been cut off by Chase Bank. He and his employees have been debanked —he believes this is because the bank has decreed that he spread “misinformation”. He is a respected doctor and expert on nutrition who dared to exercise his First Amendment rights to free speech about Covid, only to have the jackboot of the government/corporate behemoth come down on him.
Dr. Mercola writes:
(On) July 13, 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank informed me they are closing all of my business accounts, along with the personal accounts of my CEO, my CFO and their respective spouses and children.
My CEO was informed his young children also will never be allowed to bank with Chase in the future.
No reason for the decision was given, other than there was “unexpected activity” on an unspecified account.
This is what the new social credit system looks like, and what every soul on the planet can expect from the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that are being rolled out. Go against the prevailing narrative of the day, and your financial life will be deleted.
It’s difficult enough trying to navigate this hurdle today. Once everything is digitized, cash eradicated and the social credit system completely integrated and automated, this kind of retaliatory action for wrongthink could be a death sentence for some people.
……………………………………
My CEO, Steven Rye, believes his and his wife’s accounts were shut down because of my opinions on COVID-19. He told Florida’s Voice:
‘I believe they cancelled all of the accounts because of Dr. Mercola’s (our employer) opinions. He has carried a contradictory view throughout the COVID narrative and co-authored the best-selling book The Truth About COVID-19, which exposed the likelihood that this virus was engineered in a laboratory funded by the NIH.’
In May 2023, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation specifically prohibiting financial institutions from denying or canceling services based on political or religious beliefs.
Apparently, Chase Bank is bowing to some other “authority,” and perhaps they refuse to cite a specific reason for the cancellation, “for legal reasons,” is because they know they’re acting unlawfully.
This is the kind of thing Dr. Mercola was publishing. Clearly this was considered heresy. It’s just odd that Chase waited till there was so much more evidence and testimony about the virus coming from a lab, as well as evidence of US funding of gain-of-function, including work by Fauci.
February 1, 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institutes of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Dr. Francis Collins, then-director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) convened a conference call with 11 scientists to discuss COVID-19.
On that conference call, Drs. Fauci and Collins were warned that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) — and that the virus appeared to be the result of genetic engineering. Minutes from the call reveal a lab escape was in fact the consensus among the gathered experts on that day.
Yet later that very day, a first draft of “The Proximal Origin” paper had been written, and three days later, on February 4, Fauci was sent a copy for editing and approval. The authors have maintained that new information changed their minds, but what, exactly, could they have learned in that short time? As it turns out, nothing.
According to The Intercept, “Slack messages and emails show that their initial inclination toward a lab escape remained long past that time.” So, as initially suspected, the “Proximal Origin” paper appears to have been nothing more than an attempt to control the narrative.
………………………….
“In a Slack exchange February 2, 2020, between Andersen and Andrew Rambaut of the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Evolutionary Biology in the School of Biological Sciences, it becomes clear how seriously the authors took the hypothesis that COVID may have leaked from a lab … before they ultimately became dedicated to publicly dismissing it,” Grim writes.
“I believe RaTG13 is from Yuanan, which is about as far away from Wuhan as you can be and still be in China. What are the chances of finding viruses that are 96% identical given that distance? Seems strange given how many SARS-like viruses we have in bats.”
RaTG13 refers to a virus found in a Chinese mine in 2013 after several miners had fallen ill with COVID-like symptoms. This virus was stored and researched at the WIV. Rambaut replied to Andersen’s comment:
“I personally think we should get away from all the strange coincidence stuff. I agree it smells really fishy but without a smoking gun it will not do us any good.
The truth is never going to come out (if [lab] escape is the truth). Would need irrefutable evidence. My position is that the natural evolution is entirely plausible and we will have to leave it at that. Lab passaging might also generate this mutation but we have no evidence that that happened.”
Rambaut also noted:
“Given the shitshow that would happen if anyone serious accused the Chinese of even accidental release, my feeling is we should say that given there is no evidence of a specifically engineered virus, we cannot possibly distinguish between natural evolution and escape so we are content with ascribing it to natural processes.”
While Andersen agreed with Rambaut’s comment, saying “Yup. I totally agree that that’s a very reasonable conclusion,” he still, clearly, did not believe that COVID was caused by zoonotic transfer. Earlier in that same Slack thread, Andersen stressed that:
“The main issue is that accidental escape is in fact highly likely — it’s not some fringe theory. I absolutely agree that we can’t prove one way or the other, but we never will be able to — however, that doesn’t mean that by default the data is currently much more suggestive of a natural origin as opposed to e.g. passage. It is not — the furin cleavage site is very hard to explain.”
Time is on our side. Note how all the damning information is finally coming to light, ie; wuhan lab, the denial of ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine, the censorship, the manufactured legal action against Trump, and the Biden Crime family revelations, etc.

BREAKING: Forensic Study Into 2020 Detroit, Michigan Election Finds Up to 34,000 Illegal Ballots – And Additional Warnings from Detroit Clerks that THOUSANDS of Absentee Paper Was Different than Normal Ballots
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/forensic-exam-2020-michigan-election-finds-illegal-ballots/
This is the kind of thing that the cowardly courts refused to hear. They were so panicked by the success of the Left in still claiming that Bush was “selected” and not “elected” because of their narrative that the Court voted to make him president that they all pulled a Pontius Pilate act and just washed their hands of the matters.
In law, the courts do not decide facts. The court (judge) decides on the law, but the jury is the only entity that can examine evidence and determine what is a fact. No legal challenge to the election results ever went in front of a jury. Judges merely ruled on their personal interpretations of “law” to refuse to allow cases to proceed.
And among evidence that would have been presented was that of different kinds of paper submitted as ballots, and then mixed in with legitimate ballots and counted as votes. Many reports were made of different kinds of paper, as well as unfolded ballots being submitted as mailed ballots though they clearly could not have arrived in envelopes. There were also reports of ballots that looked like photocopies of a ballot that had been marked on a printer, with a perfect circle in the Biden vote column that did not look like it had been inked in by hand. This is why original ballots were not allowed to be examined in the much-vaunted “recounts”—only images of the ballots
Remember Jovan Pulitzer? He was dismissed as a crackpot because he is admittedly eccentric but he invented the QR code scanner and he said he could examine questioned ballots and look at the metadata to see if they were photocopied. I came here to ask blog experts if this was true, and was told it was. Yet no original ballot that appeared to be photocopied was made available for examination of the metadata.
That, and a quick comparison of the papers used, would have been important. Yet this was denied.

Here is an example of Agenda “Journalism”.
It’s a story presented without hard evidence, a tale without even a clear allegation of what kind of fraud occurred, or how it happened.
But it’s gone viral among supporters of President Donald Trump, who have embraced the president’s assertion that the 2020 election was stolen, despite the fact that numerous officials, including the nation’s highest-ranking law enforcement official, have concluded the election was fair and square
The story in question was told by a man named Jesse Morgan at a Wednesday press conference in Arlington, Va., convened by a Republican lawyer to present alleged evidence of election fraud.
Morgan said he works as a truck driver for a U.S. Postal Service contractor. He said he delivered what he thought was 130,000 to 280,000 ballots from a postal facility in Bethpage, New York, to Harrisburg and then Lancaster on Oct. 21. The ballots, he said, had return addresses for New York.
Morgan said he parked the trailer at a Lancaster city postal facility. When he returned the next morning, the trailer, which he referred to by the serial number “10-R 1440,” was gone.
Morgan’s allegation quickly spread online Tuesday night. Trump posted about it on social media to his millions of followers, and Morgan was interviewed in primetime by Fox News host Sean Hannity, a close ally of the president.
LancasterOnline’s attempts to reach Morgan through the lawyer were not successful. His place of residence is not clear. In telling his story, Morgan sounded like he lives in or near Lancaster. A call to a phone number listed for an Elizabethtown person by that name was returned but it is not the same person who appeared at the press conference.
The story Morgan told was not, in itself, evidence of fraud. And while pieces of Morgan’s story could be true, they also wouldn’t be unusual, said Diane Skilling, interim director of Lancaster County’s elections office.
In every election, the county sends and receives back absentee ballots from voters out of the state. Students, people traveling and, in some cases this year, people stuck in other places because of COVID-19 lockdowns, returned their ballots with out-of-state return addresses, Skilling said.
“That’s not uncommon,” she said.
The number of total mail ballots that arrived in Lancaster, according to the driver’s story, would have been more than were actually requested in the county.
About 109,000 Lancaster County voters were mailed ballots for the general election, and 91,000 people returned them.
Phillip Kline, a former Kansas attorney general whose law license was suspended in 2013, initially brought Morgan’s allegations to light and said he would be contacting local law enforcement officials.
A spokesman for Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said her office was aware of the allegation. Because it involves multiple states, it “would typically be handled by a federal agency” with the district attorney’s help if needed, said the spokesman, Brett Hambright. He did not say, however, if the office was assisting in an investigation.
A spokeswoman for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Wednesday morning only that she had not heard about the allegation.
The U.S. Postal Service’s law enforcement arm, meanwhile, was “looking into the allegations,” a spokeswoman said.
President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump by 80,555 votes in Pennsylvania, which certified its results on Nov. 24, one day after the mostly Republican Board of Elections in Lancaster County certified the results here. Trump won the county by more than 44,000 votes.
On Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department had not found evidence of widespread fraud capable of changing the outcome of the presidential election.
So this article, typical of what we saw then and since then, contained the usual components inserted to influence the way the information might be processed by the reader. It was somehow important to note that Morgan was interviewed by a Trump supporter, or that a lawyer filing a complaint had once lost his license, and of course Barr’s infamous decision that if the fraud was not “widespread” and “capable of changing the outcome of the election” it didn’t matter.
Now, fast forward to June 6, 2023. Note the details provided by Morgan.
A United States Postal Service whistleblower who admitted to shipping hundreds of hundreds of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania during the 2020 election has finally been validated by a USPS report, the Gateway Pundit reported.
In December 2020, US Postal Service employee Jesse Morgan testified in a sworn affidavit that he personally transferred thousands of ballots across state lines in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election.
“In total I saw 24 gaylords, or large cardboard containers of ballots, loaded into my trailer,” he said at the time.
He also noted that he saw mass numbers of completed ballots in the trailer, which would later disappear without explanation.
“These gaylords contained plastic trays… of ballots stacked on top of each other,” he said.
“All the envelopes were the same size,” he added. “I saw the envelopes had return addresses. . . They were complete ballots.”
After waiting nearly six hours for someone to process this cargo, Morgan was given none of the usual paperwork.
Instead, in an unprecedented step, a self-styled “transportation supervisor” ordered Morgan to drive that shipment to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Morgan dropped off his rig, whereupon, it vanished.
The storyline about the suspicious interstate transport of up to 288,000 completed ballots was one of many irregularities that skeptics pointed to as evidence of the widespread and systemic fraud that Democrats had used to tip the election’s balance in favor of Joe Biden over then-President Donald Trump.
Pennsylvania’s secretary of state at the time, Kathy Boockvar, was later found by the courts to have violated the law by ignoring the state legislature’s directives concerning mail-in and absentee ballots.
However, then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr refused to investigate the dubious shipment of ballots from New York.
Despite Trump having enjoyed a healthy lead in the state on election night, Biden ultimately flipped Pennsylvania via mail-in ballots with an 81,660-vote margin of victory.
But after years of being threatened, Morgan’s claims have been proved true by no less than the USPS itself.
In its recent release of an April 2022 “Closing Memorandum,” the USPS recognized that Morgan did indeed drive the large trailer of mail across the border to Pennsylvania.
The heavily redacted memorandum had been withheld by the USPS for a substantial period of time, on the grounds that they needed to protect “witnesses, victims, subjects, and law enforcement personnel to harassment and intimidation as a result of their association with a criminal matter.”
At other times, the USPS has given investigative journalist Joe Fried at the American Thinker a different story, suggesting that the memo contained “trade secrets or privileged or confidential commercial or financial information… [that] could constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties.”
Go back to the “explanation” of Diane Skilling when Morgan first talked about hauling all these ballots from New York to Pennsylvania: In every election, the county sends and receives back absentee ballots from voters out of the state. Students, people traveling and, in some cases this year, people stuck in other places because of COVID-19 lockdowns, returned their ballots with out-of-state return addresses, Skilling said.
“That’s not uncommon,” she said.
This makes no sense. Yes, people who are for one reason or another out of state can mail in their ballots. But they would be mailed to their own county, not to some county in some other state. The issue was not the return addresses, but the fact that they appeared to have been mailed to a New York address. Otherwise they would not have to be hauled to Pennsylvania.
Did this get any media attention? Pennsylvania’s secretary of state at the time, Kathy Boockvar, was later found by the courts to have violated the law by ignoring the state legislature’s directives concerning mail-in and absentee ballots. How did she ignore those directives? What did she do wrong?
And isn’t it interesting that that USPS comment as a result of their association with a criminal matter has received no attention?
And BTW, a “sworn affidavit” is considered evidence. Only a jury can determine if it is a fact.
The inconvenient truths just keep coming:
Imagine how good this country could be if the government would stop lying to us.
So yesterday, the new Democrat line is that well yes Joe got on the phone with Hunter’s business associates BUT it was just to exchange pleasantries. Nothing more, just wanted to say hi. They’re such a nice family.
The Democrat agenda is soon to collapse under the truth.
I was thinking we should start a list of lies the government has told us, just in the last three years.
Nah, who’s got the time?
How about a very short list of times it’s told us the truth in that time?
………….?????
Got anything?
Well Fauci did say at one time that masks were useless against a virus. But that was of course before Pfizer corrected him.
So is the most recent indictment of Trump an opportunity for conservatives to relitigate the 2020 election? Let’s do it. Let’s insist on a trial and bring to the witness stand people like Ruby Freeman. I would be curious to see how she holds up under cross examination.
LOL … just like every other witch hunt, this too will go nowhere, because they have nothing. Democrats are void of facts and morals.
Fascism = indicting political opponents and convicting them of nothing. Do you see yourself here Forty? Because you should.
Another swing and a miss. You are a waste of flesh
Biden’s are the definition of WHITE TRASH … which makes all of their supporters TRASH themselves. Sub human pieces of shit.
Hunter Biden trashed his $4.2million Venice Beach rental house with ‘rude and entitled’ wife Melissa, leaving the property in ‘disarray and disrepair’ and stiffing the owner for $80,000 in unpaid rent
