Editorial from American Spectator

Yep, from the publisher of American Spectator: 

After the 2020 vote manipulating debacle, when people pressed me about whether I thought the election was stolen, my response was, "I don't know and that bothers me." 

I don't like not knowing if I can trust America's government simply because the voting system is so open to manipulation and theft. That's a problem.

Both establishment Republicans and Democrats and the media that supports them, demanded people say, "Joe Biden is the legitimate president of the United States and won the election (while he was in his basement) with 82 million votes." It wasn't enough to say it. You had better be damned enthusiastic about it, too.

This strange obsession with what the "losers" believe is a mind infection and an important one. The mind infection is not on the part of voters. The mind infection is on the part of those who are so insecure about the election outcome that everyone else must, like a robot, conform to their worldview and state it publicly like some loyalty oath. 

It has real world consequences. January 6 protestors, ushered into the Capitol, touching nothing, are being harangued into confessing to thought crimes and disavowing previous views in order to get lighter sentences. It's evil.

Worse, it's likely that the protesters are right. The election, if not stolen, was surely distorted with voting irregularities. Why should a J6 protestor have to confess to something that may not be true? Why confess anything? 

Years ago, when talking to a friend, I said, "Find a Democrat, find voter fraud." It's an axiom that is as immutable as gravity.

Democrats do not have the courage of their convictions because their convictions are nuts and few people agree with them.

How do they get elected? Well, they lie about what they believe. They lie about what their opponents believe. And, most of all, they commit voter fraud just to cover their bases. 

Why, for example, was Hillary so convinced that she'd win and didn't work hard? She knew there'd be fraud. She just didn't think she'd have to overcome so many votes.

Why, on election night, when Trump was easily ahead, did Biden say and this is a paraphrase, By the end of the night we'll have this? Because he knew he would -- one way or another. 

Some states are shoring up their voting systems. Pennsylvania is not one of them. For the ones who have, it's not enough. There are vast paid operations to vote harvest. Criminals get more creative. The GOP, once again, will be caught flat-footed – if they're not actively involved with the scam.

There are some crazy outcomes in Georgia. How did thousands of first time voters come out and then vote for the....incumbents? That's weird. Usually, a change election bring in new blood not keep old blood.

Some are saying that Democrats voted in the GOP primary. Maybe. Then why was voting depressed on the Dem side? 

I personally hate open primaries. They should be abolished. But even that doesn't fully explain what happened in Georgia. 

All this to say expect shenanigans. Expect illegal votes. Expect Republicans to act doe-eyed and helpless. Expect Democrats to lie to your face. Expect the media to demand that you ignore evidence.
