  1. Fully realizing I’m parroting myself, here’s another rather substantial morsel for the “Uncontested Election” files…(though this article also covers fraud in elections other than 2020).
    “High-profile voter fraud prosecutions pile up as election integrity debate rages on;
    “From a former Democrat congressman to mayors and city council members, evidence of ballot rigging schemes is unmasked in court filings.”—

    The goal is to tighten up election integrity as much as it can be, which for some reason the Democrats have “issues” with….)

  2. @ miguel cervantes > “Fresh absurdity”

    So the Dept of Educ is finally going to do something that MIGHT have been helpful over the last three years, only because the Democrats are taking flak for their policies and, yes, the absurdities about schools that parents have been railing against, with some effect.

    It’s a short little post but it so perfectly encapsulates some of the biggest deficiencies of America’s elite: the wrongheaded belief they are economically and socially independent from the rest of the country so they don’t need to worry about anything, acting and thinking in a performative manner, and being neither as smart nor as well informed as they believe themselves to be. I mean, does even the biggest Zelenskyy-stan think Biden has been some sort of Kissingerian mastermind when it comes to Ukraine?
