The text of that tweet so you can stay on this page.

After Mass this morning a couple we play tennis doubles with asked my wife and me why we were voting for Donald Trump.
My wife was triggered and jumped in before I could and said, “we’re not just voting for him. We’re voting against socialism. We’re voting for the 2nd Amendment. We’re voting for the next ultimately qualified supreme court justice, the electoral college, and especially to keep the Constitutional Republic we live in intact. Bud and I are voting for the police and law and order. We’re voting for America’s military and the veterans who have fought and died for this country for centuries.
One of them began to interject with, “But…”, as my wife pounced and said, “we’re voting for the American flag flying in front of our home. The right to voice our opinions without being censored and for Bud and I to practice law within a justice system the Left hasn’t shit on.”
I added, “we’re voting for secure borders so we don’t have to worry about our girls growing up with disgusting men leering at them and God forbid hurting them.”
As my wife, now on a roll continued, “we’re voting for the right to praise God without reprisal, and we’re voting for every unborn baby Democrats see fit to murder before they take their first breath. We’re voting for our girls to grow up in a country that stands for the Liberty and American dream Bud and I have lived with. We’re voting for good against evil…and we’re not just voting for Donald Trump, we’re voting for the future of all of us.”

I stood there for a moment and thought how much more I love this woman after eighteen years…

And we're going to have to have the fortitude to "stop the steal".

The losers will lose everything
By Robert Arvay

Any political prediction for the remainder of 2024 must, to be taken seriously, account for one overbearing fact: neither side can afford to lose. For one side or the other, it will be game over. Political power will thereafter be denied forever to the defeated party.

For conservatives, the specter of another four years of radical leftism means another forty. Unprecedentedly massive, government-sponsored, illegal immigration will inevitably lead to a new, loyal and permanent, voting bloc, legal or otherwise. The entire purpose of government-funded illegal immigration is to bring about illegal voting for leftists. Not only that, but even after the election, the 2030 census will, if leftists prevail, bestow representation in Congress to people who break the law every day, just by being here, people who do not share our heritage or values, people who in many cases hate us. Those representatives will tend overwhelmingly to be leftists. They are supposed to represent you, but they will instead support those who are taking your job and siphoning off your tax dollars.

There are other factors that will spell the end of constitutional democracy, the end of the rule of law, and the bastardization of our culture but government-funded lawbreaking will be sufficient to do its intended job.

The other side of the coin is that the leftist nightmare already occurred in 2016, when Hillary Clinton unexpectedly lost her throne, and Donald Trump was elected president. The Left escaped its fate by immediately moving to cripple the Trump presidency, by endlessly undermining his every effort, and by carefully plotting never again to lose the White House. The Left learned its lesson. It is not enough to lie, cheat, and steal. The lies must be Josef Goebbels’ “big lie.” The cheating must be shameless, even when it is exposed. The stealing must be on a grand scale, leaving no mail-in ballot unblemished. The only reason Clinton lost in 2016 was because the Left lied, cheated, stole, but not enough. In 2020, the limits came undone, and the left pulled off the greatest fraud in history.

They fully expect to do it again, but on an even grander scale.

Only this time, even fraud will not be enough. If the leftist candidate officially “wins” in a historic landslide, nobody will believe it. The ordinary American, shocked into inaction since the January 6 incident, is in no mood to hand over his country to yet another blatant, obvious theft. State legislators are on notice. In order to certify their electors, there must be no reasonable doubt that the vote was conducted within the requirements of the law. The legislators now know, as many of them did not in 2020, that no one can require them to certify an elector until they have performed their due diligence. That power is theirs alone, not the secretaries of state.

But the Left is also aware of this. Their game plan will factor that in. Some Democrats in Congress have already stated, in advance, that they will refuse to count electoral votes which would cause their party to lose the presidency. They can’t surrender. A leftist defeat will be utterly unacceptable to them.

How, then, will the deadlock be broken?

In short, my prediction is that November 6, 2024, the morning after election day, will see the most serious constitutional crisis since 1861, the year in which the Civil War began. How that will shake out is unpredictable, except for one unavoidable reality: the losers will lose everything, and they already know it.

The entire affair is a three ring circus, as it should be.

I predict that at some point in the next few years, a film will be made about this trial. It will be a black comedy. I hope Hollywood will give it the director and cast it deserves.

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this, but I’m wondering about the charges in Georgia. Shouldn’t the state be bringing the charges, and not a local DA? The crimes he’s charged with, from my understanding, are state election crimes.

Judge Unseals Documents Showing FBI Discussed ‘Loose Surveillance’ of Trump’s Plane

A large tranche of documents were unsealed by Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday, revealing the FBI’s code name for the probe.

A federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case unsealed a new trove of documents on Monday, revealing the FBI’s code name for the investigation and how the FBI spoke about performing “loose surveillance” on the former president’s aircraft before an unprecedented raid in 2022.

The name, “Plasmic Echo,” was revealed in unredacted court filings that were made public by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. A February 2022 case file that was attached was marked with, “[Redacted] PLASMIC ECHO; Mishandling of Classified or National Defense Information.” Notably, the FBI has used unusual names for prior investigations such as Crossfire Hurricane, Varsity Blues, Tin Panda, and Lemon-Aid.

Among the documents the judge released Monday also included an FBI claim from June 2022 in which a counterintelligence official, whose name was not included, talked about carrying out “loose surveillance” on President Trump’s plane to see if “boxes were loaded onto the plane.”

It’s not clear what aircraft was being discussed. The Trump Organization notably owns a Boeing 757 dubbed “Trump Force One,” which he has used for various campaign stops.

The documents that were made public on Monday were part of a motion that the former president’s attorneys had submitted earlier this year to obtain more discovery evidence in the case, brought by special counsel Jack Smith who has accused the former president of illegally retaining classified documents. Previously, Judge Cannon ruled that the documents should be made public but stipulated that the witness names and other details should be redacted.

The judge also unsealed an FBI document that detailed the FBI raid targeting the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence in South Florida in August 2022 when agents combed through his property to retrieve the documents. The documents describe the individuals who were involved, including details on when the agents arrived at Mar-a-Lago.

Dershowitz Says New York Prosecutors Are Violating Voters’ Rights With Trump Trial
The law is being ‘abused for partisan political purposes and to constitute election interference,’ Mr. Dershowitz alleged.

The former Harvard law professor then criticized the Manhattan DA for elevating the charges against President Trump from misdemeanors to felonies on what he argued was an invalid legal premise because Mr. Bragg invoked federal statutes over which New York has no jurisdiction.

In the recent PA primary that happened last Tuesday, Nicky Haley got over 155,000 votes which was 16.5% of the total. This was a Republican only primary. The voters had to be registered Republicans. While it's easy to say that most of these may have been Dems who changed registration, even if you discount those, that's still a significant number. I wonder how many of these protest voters will stay home or vote for Biden. I don't know. Just wondering. This could affect the election results.

In the recent PA primary that happened last Tuesday, Nicky Haley got over 155,000 votes which was 16.5% of the total.

In 2016 John Kasich got over 300,000 votes which was 19% of the total.

You had 950,000 voters participate in 2024. Almost 1.6 million in 2016. I suspect that's because most voters know that Trump is the guy and simply chose not to participate in the primary.

I suspect the same concept is true on the Democrat side as well. They had 998,000 primary voters participate this year, and over 1.6 million in 2016.

To Haley's credit, she did get 17 times more votes that Jeb Bush.

POS, Mitt Romney

Romney and the Wrong Question: The Senator’s Statement on Trump’s Guilt Captures the Problem with the Manhattan Trial

Yesterday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) had a much covered interaction with CNN’s Manu Raju who asked him about Trump’s criminal trial and whether he was guilty of the underlying criminal conduct. Romney responded “I think everybody has made their own assessment of President Trump’s character, and so far as I know you don’t pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you.” I have previously defended Romney in his votes on impeachment despite our disagreement on the constitutional standard. I also understand that he was making a more general comment on character.

However, his response is precisely what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is seeking from the jury: a verdict on Trump as a person rather than the underlying criminal allegations.

Democratic governors are vetoing election integrity legislation passed by Republican-led state legislatures, despite allegations, investigations, and convictions of election fraud occurring across the U.S. Those convictions require proof "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the crime, in fact, occurred.

Over the last few months, Democratic governors in Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin have vetoed legislation that Republican-led state legislatures passed to help secure elections, arguing that their concerns are unfounded or their solutions unnecessary. However, there has been recent election fraud investigations and convictions in those states that led to the passing of the legislation.

Earlier this month, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed bills that would respectively, prohibit people convicted of ballot abuse from holding elected office and prevent county recorders from sending voter registration cards to most residents who have out-of-state mailing addresses.

don't ever doubt 2020 was stolen

Funny, I say the same thing all the time
