Election Day – Soapbox Jr.

The upcoming vote was touted as a referendum on the president.

The cases had been made, the public listened to the arguments for both sides, and the big day had finally arrived. The excitement in the air was evident, and voter turnout was expected to be historic. The lines were longer than normal with many voters standing in line for hours to enthusiastically to cast their votes.

Exit polls showed that the president was losing by a 60%-40% margin

After the polls had closed, the votes started coming in and the results were concerning for the incumbent. A landslide appeared to be in the making.

But then in the early morning hours, the voting machines which were counting all the ballots cast inexplicably stopped.

Why?

Well, that’s a little unclear, and up for debate.

A whistleblower with military ties came forward and signed a sworn affidavit saying that there was an issue with the Smartmatic voting machines and made allegations of voter fraud and election manipulation.

Smartmatic had received a contract for $150 million to overhaul the election systems.

In the whistleblower’s sworn statement, they said “software and fundamental design of the electronic electoral system and software of Dominion and other election tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendent of the Smartmatic Electoral Management System.”

The whistleblower continued, “In short, the Smartmatic software is in the DNA of every vote tabulating company’s software and system.”

But back to the night of the election.

Once the voting machines started back up and began counting again, the margins had shifted dramatically.

Eventually, the winner was declared.

Despite the claims of voter fraud, the final tally was 58%-42%, in FAVOR of the president.

In his eyes, crisis averted.

While the story above may sound familiar, the outcome probably wasn’t what you were expecting, that’s because it isn’t the story of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. It is actually the results of a referendum on whether or not to recall Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez in 2004.

A statistical study published in 2006 said, “The irregularities detected were observed consistently in numerous voting centers and the magnitude of the irregularities imply that the official results do not reflect the intention of voters with statistical confidence."  

By their calculations, instead of the official number of 41% voting to recall, they estimated that approximately 56.4% had actually voted yes to recall Chavez as president of Venezuela.

The whistleblower had actually been connected to the Venezuelan military, and came forward after the November 3 elections seemed suspicious and oddly familiar similarities to the Chavez recall referendum.

No, I don’t know for sure that this is what happened, but there are now enough whistleblowers signing more affidavits and coming forward to tell what they saw.

They number in the hundreds now.

And the tide could be turning now as a judge has ordered an audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines in Michigan, and ongoing challenges to the different signature standards of mail-in and in-person ballots persist in Georgia. 

And despite the certification of the Georgia results, there are lingering questions and mounting evidence that the Dominion machines were not on the up and up there.

According to Garland Favoritio, a self-described “independent” poll witness who was scheduled to testify in a State Senate hearing in Georgia, 37 votes had been flipped from Trump to Biden in Ware County, Georgia. According to the county’s Elections Supervisor, it was “human error.” 

However, Favorito still maintains that Ware County used Dominion machines to run ballots through the tabulation software in their machines with a 50%-50% Trump/Biden ballot balance, an equal number of votes for each candidate.

What they found was that when the votes were tabulated, 37 of the Trump votes had been switched to Biden, giving him a 26% lead. The algorithm the machine used counted one Trump vote as 87% of a single vote, and a Biden vote counted as 113% of a vote.

There’s an old southern saying, “That dog don’t hunt.” 

Indeed, it doesn’t, unless perhaps the dog is from Venezuela.

President Trump says that big things are happening over the next couple of days. We’ll see if he’s right.

Popcorn still standing by.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops, our police, the peace of Jerusalem and our nation.

God Bless America!

Election Day
I have been watching with interest the last week or so how the tide seems to be turning. If it plays out and our duly elected President is re-elected then the next thing I want to see is mass accountability against those that would attempt to subvert the election process of our nation. I venture to call it high treason and there are serious penalties for that. If the chips are down and Biden has won fair and square then I have no choice but to accept it. That's the American way, not by rioting, looting, and using destructive means against others and their property. My popcorn is ready also. May justice and fairness prevail.

Really?
So we are now using tweets as facts? The algorithm theory was picked up from a tweet, not investigated at all. Gabriel Sterling, a true GOP official with the Secretary of State's office in Georgia has dismissed it out of hand, calling it "disinformation" and that "There are no vote flipping machines.”. He VOTED for Trump, yet he knows the truth. At some point, this has to stop. Not one case presented by Trump has gained traction. His own Attorney General said there is no evidence of fraud. GOP Governors and state officials have claimed no fraud. Why is this so hard for Trump supporters to take? He has been crying Fraud since 2016. First with Cruz in Iowa, then with Clinton in the popular vote and now with Biden. The problem isn't with the votes, it is with him. And with his supporters who refuse to accept the results. It's over. He can run again in 2024. He has lost the popular vote now in two straight elections, this time by over 7 million votes. Take a hint, Donald.

Bigger & Better Things With Trump
Amen, Amen & Amen Charlie Jr, I'm fixin to bet the farm that President Trump prevails, contrary to naysayers such as Bill & Tru Cola which I think are on opposite end of the spectrum of politics, but each appear to be never Trumpers. I have no doubt sir that when the dust settles Donald J Trump will be the one being sworn in in 2021. Anybody who sees no wrong in China owning Dominion , wants to be DOMINATED by the chinerman. Anyone who sees no evil in the fact that over 50,000 votes cast in Georgia were cast by people who do not reside in the state, is in the swamp with Biden. Anyone who denies hundreds of sworn affidavits from all walks of life testifying to everything from hauling ballots across state lines, ballots appear to be xeroxed, using fraudulent birth dates to register voters on election day , to federal postal employees being told to post date ballots received late has no interest in truth or Justice......I sir am ready with the salt & butter and if by some chance I'm wrong I will accept all the backlash and smile as the swamp critters reap their harvest......nuff said God Bless Plowboy

Come on
Make up your mind! Is Dominion from Venezuela or China? These silly moving targets are hard to keep up with. And it is amazing that the machines only were wrong in states Trump lost. In states where Trump won and Dominion was used, they worked ok, huh? States like Florida, Texas, Ohio, Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, no problems at all. What an amazing coincidence. And where is your proof of the 50,000 votes in Georgia? Real proof, not made up stories. The Republican led, Trump supporting Governor, Lt. Governor and Secretary of State for Georgia have said there is no fraud. Yet you make a claim based on what? As to the rest of the claims about Postal Workers and signatures, PROVIDE PROOF. It is amazing that so many things happened, but not a bit of real proof exists. Just signed papers. Or algorithms that an expert says prove it could not have happened. Pretty simple to get others who could say the exact opposite. And even the Supreme Court has refused to even hear his case from Pa. What more will it take? In the same regard I am a never Trumper, you are a Trump Cult member. But that doesn't change the facts of this election. Biden won, convincingly. For the second Presidential election in a row, Trump lost the popular vote. Pretty simple and not going to change.

Not Coming
Bill I'm not coming, but thanks for the invite. If being a defender of the US Constitution, if being against murder of defenseless children, if backing the Bill of Rights, especially the first and second amendment, if honoring veterans and first responders, and being a Christian valuing the Judeo-Christian values that this great country was founded upon makes me a cult member, so be it sir. Rest assured time will prove who is on the right side. God Bless Plowboy

Sorry, Plowboy, but Bill is right
Plowboy, Bill is right in every point that he made. Your Dear Leader lost - bigly - and has six weeks to close up shop. He has been evicted from The People's House. No one has been able to provide a single shred of proof of any of their allegations of fraud, certainly nothing to an election-changing extent. Bill is also correct in his assessment that you are a member of Trump's cult of personality. You stand by a corrupt, malevolent, incompetent, ignorant, egomaniacal grifter for no good reason. The attributes you assign to yourself are in no way reflected in Trump's behavior or stances in policy. The closest thing you can say about the guy is that he appointed a boatload of right-wing judges (many of them unqualified) who will continue to chip away at a woman's constitutional right to choose. He doesn't actually care about the unborn, though, any more than he cares about anyone else; it was just a wedge issue that he leveraged for your support to get a job he didn't actually want anyway. One day you will see that he and his supporters are in no way on the right side of history.

Amazing
Well, Plough, you might be surprised that I share many of the same beliefs that you do. But those beliefs not are unique to any one party or any one candidate. That is where we have gotten off track. I can, in fact, be a Christian and vote Democratic. I can, in fact, be a gun owner and vote Democratic. I can, in fact, support police and veterans and vote Democratic. All the items you mention are not unique to Republicans, or Trump supporters. You called me a Never Trumper. You are correct, I have no problem with that. Many of the same traits you, rightfully, ascribe to yourself, he does not possess. I could list them here but you would not care or accept. And that its what worries me. Fair enough to say I cannot change your mind, nor can you change mind. But we can still both be and do many of the things you listed. And, at the end of the day, we are all Americans. I respect your beliefs. I wish you a Merry Christmas and I wish we could be planning to meet at a CDB concert. That is one thing we can agree on and one thing we can agree we miss terribly. Best, Bill

For Charlie Jr.
Why are you and your dad so fixated on Benghazi? Yesterday. more than 3100 Americans died from COVID-19, in large part because of a massive failure of our "leadership." That's more than the number of Americans who died in the attacks on 9/11 and the equivalent of nearly 800 Benghazi attacks. Oh well, I guess it's just easier to keep that as some sort of tagline while you back an authoritarian's attack on our democracy and Constitution by spouting his lies, innuendo and baseless claims.

Fun Song to the tune of the Devil Went Down to Georgia
The devil went down to Georgia. He was looking for a vote to steal. Joe was in a bind cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal. When he came across this voting system that was really smokin hot. And the Devil jumped on a suitcase and said Joe let me tell you what. I bet you didn't know that I'm a vote stealer too and if you care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. Now you know that you are losing votes and you ain't gonna win. I'll bet some ballots of gold for your soul because I need a White House win. The boy said "My name is Joe and it might be a sin, but I'll take your bet without regret cause I'm desperate and need to win. Joe plug up those machines and feed the ballots hard. Cause hells broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards. And if Joe wins he gets the shiny office in the house. But if he loses the devil has no control. The devil opened up his suitcase and said I'll start this show and all but 4 were told to stay and the rest had to go. And they slid a suitcase across the floor and it made an evil hiss. And a band of Democrats joined in and fed the dominion prince. When the Devil finished eating, Joe said Well you're pretty good ol' son. I'll sit back in my chair right there and wait until it's done. "Fire in the key states, run Joe run! The devil and Joe are in the house of the rising sun; woman in the purple shirt throwing out votes. Woman with the white braids Doce does. The devil bowed his head because he knew that he had been caught. Then Joe tried to make a play for the presidency and said everyone shut up. God said, Devil just come on back if you ever want to get beat again. Cause I've told you once - you father of lies, your never going to win. Fire on God's mountain, "Run Joe run! Trump back in the White House after an amazing run. Devil's in chains trying to break free. Justice prevailed the US is free!

Order Received
Whew! Charlie, I'll leave you alone now. The poster arrived today, the merch people also emailed me. We're all good. Listen, seriously, you and I are the same age and I haven't experienced losing a parent yet. My wife lost both. It's so important to not taking anytime we're together for granted. Thank you for sharing your dad with us. He made the world a better place. Hugs to Hazel. Brett

Election Day II
As I write this, the Supreme Court has voted 7-2 to not even hear the case of Texas versus the 4 states whose election laws went against their own Constitutions by not following their state's legislators mandates on election integrity and THIS is the issue that 86% of Republicans/26% of Independents/ and 10% of Democrats have concerns about. Whether you are a Trump loyalist or not, wide spread fraud has been committed with signed affidavits by many who witnessed it. Where there's smoke, there is usually fire. Now, you can believe the mainstream media and others that want to turn a blind eye to the whole thing ... the same media who hollered that Hunter Biden is innocent of any wrong doing and it was all a Russian hoax that the Republicans made up which we find just this week that there is much more to the allegations than anyone would admit PRE-ELECTION. And the roots go very much deeper than just Hunter, even most likely to the president-elect. We are about to witness a period in American history where our constitutional rights will be eroded if not flat out eliminated. As Shakespeare noted in his play of Macbeth, " There's something rotten in the state of Denmark". And it has China collusion written all over it. Pray for our nation as we go forward, the Trump hatred is so intense that many have willingly shelved their God given rights that are outlined in our US Constitution in order to see Trump defeated, including their own right to a free and fair election. Its only going to go downhill from here, folks. President Kamala Harris is a very real possibility in the next 4 years and her agenda is very scary. The box of Pandora that is unlocked and about to be opened should cause grave concern to every American citizen, republican or democrat.

It's over
Sorry, Mark, it's over. You can rant and rave all you want, create false narratives, scare tactics, make up bald face lies about people giving up their constitutional rights, but it is over. The Supreme Court ruled, twice. By the way, the vote was 9-0, not 7-2. Read the full announcement. Courts in many states have ruled there is nothing to review. The Attorney General has said there was no fraud. State officials, both Democratic and Republican, have said there is no fraud. No PROOF has been presented. The only reason there is any "smoke" is because the current occupant of the People's House can't accept losing. He claimed fraud against Ted Cruz in 2016. He claimed fraud in 2016 in the popular vote. And he claimed fraud in 2020 even before the election. There is no smoke, just the hot air from a sore loser and his followers who believe every word he says. The vote difference was 7 million. That's big. Funny, the same people who claim that Biden could not have received that many votes have no problem accepting that Trump received over 70 million. It is over and folks need to move on. Sorry, but those are the facts. Just so you now, I'm a Democrat and I'm not concerned about Biden. I'm more concerned about the impact this foolishness Trump has engaged in for the past month. Trump is doing more to destroy democracy than any President in History. That should concern all Americans, Republican and Democrat.

The Texas state government needs to mind it’s own business.
It’s none of the Texas state government’s business what laws other states have. That’s what the federal government is for. -- Tru Cola

Trump’s own Supreme Court nominees ruled against the Texas state government in favor of Biden over Trump.
Even with a 7-2 decision, at least one of Trump’s nominees decided against Texas. But it was a 9-0 decision, so ALL of Trump’s nominees decided against Texas. -- Tru Cola
