So Many Issues, So Little Time

As a former sports writer, I saw firsthand what steroid use did to records and traditional performance standards, all at an incredible pace.

That phenomenon has transferred to the jargon of the world in general, with accelerated and out-sized developments said to be “on steroids.”

We’ve seen it in politics, where a health-crisis opportunity seems to have been seized by one side to go on steroids to change the rules and manipulate the election results.

I’m praying the suspected voting fraud is headed toward a steroids-like fate, first being exposed and then being thrown on the trash heap of history, with the abusers discredited and facing long-term physical problems.

A man can dream.

Daily revelations only support those who believe that this presidential election was not on the up and up, no matter what boilerplate assessments are issued as to its supposed integrity.

I have a few thoughts.

• Now that it’s been proven that dead people can vote, most likely for Democrats, I’m wondering how the Democrats will get the dead to fight if the civil war they seem hellbent to provoke actually is fought?

• Thousands of uncounted votes have showed up in disputed Georgia in each of the past two days and – hold your surprise – they favored Trump. A couple more days like this and the Biden lead is gone – until some late Democrat votes roll in overnight.
• In Nevada they are going to need a do-over on one local election due to voting irregularities. Can we really be confident the presidential totals are correct there?
• At least one county in Michigan had refused to certify results due to an abundance of voting irregularities alleged in signed affidavits, but we should trust the state-wide count, right? In a late-night reversal, that county vote not to certify was reversed. All is well. Move along. Nothing to see here.
• Pennsylvania set up a two-tiered voting verification system, favoring Democrats, and also excluded Republican oversight of the ballot counting. A state official stated bluntly before a single vote had been counted that Biden would win. Can you say conflict of interest?
• Georgia runoff elections for two Senate seats, which could deadlock the Senate should both Democrats prevail, are looming as yet another chance for our election system to be rigged, right in plain sight and without any apparent interest in preventing that.
• A Wisconsin recount would cost Republicans about $8 million, roughly four times the cost when a Green Party candidate funded a recount in 2016. Of course COVID-19 is being blamed for a quadrupling in four years. I wish my income had gone up four times due to COVID-19 hysteria.
• Speaking of virus overkill, Democrats continue to be caught defying their own draconian orders to stay at home. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi apparently didn’t learn from being outed going mask-less to her beauty parlor while lecturing others to stay home. Now she showed up at a Democrat dinner in violation of her standards. California Governor Gavin Newsom also felt above his orders when he went to a birthday party at a restaurant, in direct violation of lockdown dictates given to all the ordinary people in his state.
• Still in California, you can go to strip clubs, just not to church, a reality questioned as far back as August by a West Sacramento pastor.
• It’s worse than that. Petty dictators at various state levels are conducting wars on Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings in private homes. Good luck enforcing that one all you would-be Fidel Castros.
• For years I’ve been trying to tell all I know to exit Twitter and Facebook due to their spying on their customer base for financial gain, as well as political manipulation. Now it’s been admitted to in open testimony under oath before the Senate that Facebook does just that, even when you aren’t logged in. And the sheep will accept it, as long as they can cyber-brag about themselves or their family on the platform. There is a word for people like that – suckers.
• Too many establishment politicians, including Republicans, are in the bag for what is referred to as The Washington Swamp to think that President Trump ever will get a fair accounting of the legitimate votes in this election. And I’m not optimistic that the judicial system will be much help, either. I hope I’m wrong about this.
