Taking a break from politics, and living up to the blog’s promise to include sports, here are 20 questions involving the sports world.

1. Do you think fans of Penn State’s suddenly impotent football program wish they could go back to lamenting the reality of coach James Franklin’s poor record against Ohio State instead of the current Franklin problem of his team not being able to beat anyone?
2. Still on Penn State, do you think Franklin wishes the Big Ten hadn’t listened to the protests of him and others and decided to play the season after all?
3. With coach Don Shula and star linebacker Nick Buoniconti now dead, I’m wondering if members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only NFL team to go unbeaten through the regular season and playoffs, still get together to celebrate when the last remaining unbeaten NFL team in any season gets its first loss?
4. Does anyone think this year’s lone remaining unbeaten, the 9-0 Steelers, will challenge that Miami 17-0 record?
5. But even among the doubters can anyone imagine the Steelers could lose this weekend, playing 1-8 Jacksonville, yet another hapless team on what has been a marshmallow-soft schedule?
6. Would you guess the Steelers have exactly three victories against teams with winning records this season, while their other six wins have come against opposition with a cumulative 14-38-2 record?
7. Now that the NCAA has announced plans to have the college men’s basketball tournament played in its entirety in Indianapolis, how can the NCAA justify going on with the men’s bowl classification national football playoff being contested at varied sites?
8. Will that decision be left to the NCAA, or will tyrannical government figures mandate no travel and no play?
9. Are any other sports fans having trouble getting interested or excited about seasons that could be put on ice at any time?
10. Do you think bureaucrats would buy the excuse that football players already wear masks as part of their protective gear and so are combating the spread of COVID-19?
11. Is anyone else finding their weekends full and entertaining without having to watch a single NFL game, as I have this season?
12. Similarly, has anyone else broken the addiction to the NBA or NHL due to fatigue over their social justice warrior posturing?
13. Quick, can you tell me which team won the most recent Stanley Cup?
14. Notre Dame beat Clemson, which was playing with its backup quarterback, in double overtime a couple of weekends back, but do you think the Fighting Irish can get it done again, if Clemson starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence is playing, as he should be in the potential ACC title game rematch?
15. Would you argue with the guys who set odds for a living, who even after the Notre Dame win, have Clemson rated a better pick to win the national championship?
16. And would you argue that the same guys are wrong in having Alabama as the overall favorite to win yet another national crown?
17. Does anyone else agree that there should be a ban on those ridiculous cardboard cutouts of fans that some sports have sprinkled in the stands to give the visual effect of a crowd?
18. Along that line, is anyone else annoyed by the canned crowd noise played in stadiums and on broadcasts?
19. What are sports teams going to do if after this period of forced absence, fans discover it’s easier to stay home and watch the events on massive, high-definition televisions, and not have to pay exorbitant ticket prices and parking fees, not to mention being stuck for $7 or so for a beer during the game?
20. Can a person have a Super Bowl party and not bother to watch the game?

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.

I went to my local borough council meeting Monday afternoon and caught a glimpse of the time-honored tradition of government sausage making.

This is sausage making in the figurative sense, of course, just as frivolous governmental spending is called pork, despite it not being literally porcine.

There is not universal agreement on the colorful line’s origin, but Otto von Bismarck often is credited with observing “Laws are like sausages. It’s better not to see them being made.”

Were Otto alive today, he might feel compelled to add elections to the law-making category, as something that can cause sausage-manufacturing levels of disgust under close inspection.

My purpose in attending the Monday meeting was to register complaints about the decline of behavior in my neighborhood.

We have had un-inspected, likely unregistered, vehicles roaming freely on the streets for more than a year. Police say they can’t catch them in the act, so . . .

In recent months, visitors to a young neighbor have mistaken our quiet residential street for a burnout box at the local dragstrip. I like auto racing in general, just not on the street in front of my house.

Dog owner neighbors, who are supposed to be the brains of the human-canine partnership, can’t seem to understand that if your dogs bark every single time they are let out, perhaps the owner should accompany them at 11 p.m., midnight, or later. Maybe at 7 a.m., too.

Those same neighbors felt entitled to erect a basketball hoop that protrudes over the alley, making the garbage trucks do a heavy-equipment limbo to get past weekly. Snow plowing should be similarly, unnecessarily, difficult.

Add in people parking directly across from each other on a street that should have parking on just one side, the cretins who insist on raking leaves onto the streets despite written instructions from the borough to leave them on the curb, and the soon-to-be-here winter tradition of parking in front of a neighbor’s house ahead of a snowstorm, then engaging all-wheel drive, smashing through the piled snow and slinking back in front of the offending person’s house, where the street has been plowed clean because nothing was parked there.

Being altogether traditional, I called the borough secretary in advance of the meeting to express my desire to speak, was put on the agenda, and got my allotted three minutes to vent.

Were I more contemporary, I’d have just stashed piles of bricks near the borough building, rounded up some mindless drones and slipped a few bucks into their pathetic hands to hurl those bricks indiscriminately, stormed the meeting, and claimed economic oppression, racism, elitism and the like.

I hung around to observe things after saying my piece Monday, and getting backup from one council member on the dog matter, and from the fire chief on the matter of his vehicles not being able to pass the streets with cars inexplicably parked on both sides and directly across from each other.

After the meeting, a guy with whom I’ve had a passing acquaintance for years, lamented the decline of the borough in terms of behavior by the citizenry.

But back to sausage making.

A borough, unlike the Federal Government, can’t just run a deficit, so budgets must be balanced. Toward that end, a proposed two-mill increase on property taxes was ratcheted up to three mills. What the heck, as long as we’re here and we’re in a raising mood, let’s do it.

Here’s where journalists get to have fun.

It’s a one-mill increase over the lower proposal, but it’s a full 50-percent higher than the alternative two-mill increase. And doesn’t 50-percent sound a lot more scary than one mill more?

There was an ongoing discussion as I left the adjourned meeting about labeling it a 20-percent overall tax increase, based on what was thought to be a current 15-mill levy increasing to 18 mills. Three mills is one-fifth of 15 mills, or 20 percent. Again 20 percent sounds like a lot more than three mills.

But the real sausage making came on the matter of handing over the mandated contribution to the county transit authority to make sure public transportation buses will run through the borough next year.

There is a demand by the authority for an increase of a bit more than $400, but several members, citing the federal money being rained on such authorities, as well as what were characterized as managerial pay grabs at said authority, quickly inspired mass sentiment to tell the the authority to take their buses and shove them where governmental subsidies don’t shine.

A vote was taken and the money would not be given. No buses for us.

That decision lasted for a few more agenda items before the matter was revisited by a disturbed council president. She and the borough solicitor implored the council to consider the elderly who are dependent on public transportation to buy groceries, visit doctors and the like.

They had valid points. But, on principle, so did the people in favor of denying more tribute to the transit authority.

In the end, another vote was taken and the suitably shamed naysayers relented. The money will be sent; the buses will continue to traverse the borough.

Sausage sandwiches all around.

If only rectifying the shortcomings of the presidential election were that easy.

(NOTE: This is a re-posting of an initial post giving some context that will save you from needing to toggle back to the beginning of the blog)

Having spent 35 years in journalism full-time and three years or so as a freelancer, I find I still have a lot to say.

But dealing with the organization that ran my freelance work became more than a little fatiguing mentally.

So, I’m out of there and on to this site. It’s not a desperate attempt to make money. Quite on the contrary it is free, which critics would say closely approximates the worth of the content.

I don’t care. And that brings me to the next point. Feel free to like or dislike what I write, just don’t expect me to eagerly await feedback. Taking a page from the likes of Zuck or Bezos, there is no contact system on this site.

If you are interested, feel free to read. If not, feel free to move on to more productive pursuits.

Back in the day when I worked at my local newspaper, there was a particularly obnoxious reporter and, yes, he was and probably still is a liberal, who thought it was his right to be nasty to anyone he happened across.

I guess he’d gone though life never having stopped a fist with his face, until the night when he had a date with reality in that newsroom.

Sadly for him, he pushed the wrong guy too hard. I’m sorry I didn’t witness it firsthand, but I got the story from enough fellow journalists at the place who did see it to give the story credence.

Mr. Personality Reporter had given a particularly hard time to a copy editor. That editor, at the end of his shift, exited the building, walked down the street to a parking garage, climbed a few levels of steps and supposedly got to his car before deciding to go back and give Mr. Personality Reporter a strong dose of physical perspective.

Upon arriving back in the newsroom, Mr. Righteous Editor rained blows on Mr. Personality Reporter, who was quoted as observing pithily “I can’t believe this is happening!” as he turtled on the floor.

I cannot state this as fact, but I suspect bystanders felt the obligation to stop it, just not too quickly.

I can say I had similar emotions when, as part of my duty as a union chapel chairman I was in a meeting with a fellow sports writer and the editor of the newspaper.

My union brother had gotten the press started late due to an overwhelming load of local sports and a short-handed staffing situation. He insisted the overall editor had told him to run late if necessary, but get the results into the paper.

That editor maintained just the opposite – insisting he’d advised to be sure the press ran on time and leave news out if necessary.

So, as we sat in the editor’s office the next afternoon and this blatant disagreement over what had been said was put on the table, my guy jumped up, slammed both palms on the editor’s desk and said the editor was a liar, with a few colorful adjectives strung together before liar.

The editor – yes, another liberal – looked like he needed an underwear change. In the second or so this transpired I found myself doing some quick calculations.

If my guy went over the desk and grabbed the editor, I probably needed to attempt to intervene. But how quickly?

Fortunately for the editor, my fellow sports writer, and maybe even me, it didn’t get physical. My guy instead kept making things worse verbally. When told he’d be suspended for a week without pay, he screamed, “Make it two.”

These stories come to mind as we get pleas for civility from Joe Biden and his sycophants in the public and also the left-leaning media.

Of course it is Biden who on more than one occasion in recent years has said he’d liked to have taken Trump behind a high school gym and “beat the hell out of” him.

What are you doing tomorrow, Joe? I’d like to see how that would go.

More recently, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo went on radio to say if he wasn’t holding his post that allows him to be his state’s lockdown king “I would have decked him (Trump)” for perceived slights on the Cuomo family with stereotypical Italian slurs.

An Italian settling a verbal spat with violence is, of course, the stereotypical stuff of so many mob movies and television shows, Andrew.

So, Cuomo, resign your governor job for a day. You could win it back in a heartbeat in true blue New York. Go punch Trump instead of just making a show of talking about it.

Maybe you and Biden can share an Uber on the way to the brawl.

Something I’ve learned from growing up in various neighborhoods, some that weren’t the best then and have gone severely downhill since, is the person you need to worry about is the one who just walks up and punches you in the face. The people who flap their gums about what they’re going to do, seldom progress past the verbal stage.

When Biden muses that if he just was back in high school, or Cuomo says he would do it if only he weren’t the governor, those are just convenient conditionals for a couple of guys long on talk and short on action.

And there is a lot of that going around on the political left.

Open memo to Democrats incessantly harping on who won the popular vote in this or other presidential elections and bemoaning the Electoral College setup: If you don’t like it, change the Constitution.

And here’s how you would do that. First, you would need two-thirds of Congress to pass a proposed amendment. Good luck getting that in the Senate, or even the House of Representatives.

If somehow Democrats might manage that super majority, they would then move on to needing three-quarters of state legislatures or special ratifying conventions in states to approve the change.

Even the Masters of Ballot Harvesting likely would find the amendment process too daunting.

But why change it in the first place? Because the Democrats want to be able to control the nation by dominating politics in just two states – New York and California.

It’s not enough that California with 55 electoral votes and New York with 29, means in the typical election that the Democratic candidate starts with almost one-third of the 270 electoral votes necessary to win.

The Democrats want to scrap the electoral system and gain even more advantage from dominating the popular vote in those two states.

That supposed 5-million edge in the popular vote for Biden that is trumpeted endlessly by liberals, well that is all accounted for by California and New York. That leaves 48 other states (forget the tiny voting monolith that is the District of Columbia) who either went for President Trump or Biden by much smaller margins.

Our Founding Fathers foresaw this cramming of population into a few states as having the potential to disproportionately sway national outcomes and so they put in provisions that gave weight to the other states, both in terms of the Electoral College and the Senate having two members per state, no matter the population of that state.

The House of Representatives is reserved for population-proportional membership.

Remember, this is the UNITED STATES of America. We have a federal government, whose powers intentionally are to be limited, with the majority of powers supposed to be reserved for states.

Despite the pap spewed by too many that the U.S. is a homogeneous place, people in, say, North Dakota, or rural Pennsylvania, generally are very different in terms of thought process and custom from those in urban California or New York.

Democrats love to claim to celebrate diversity, but in the case of national politics, they want conservatives and/or Republicans to have no real say in the course of the nation.

Realizing their difficulty in ramming through an amendment to the Constitution, Democrats are, in their typical backdoor fashion, looking to take the easy route should they control the Senate, too, by decreeing statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico. Voila, four more senators virtually guaranteed to be Democrats. Good luck, Republicans, ever being able again to post a Senate majority.

The United States’ two-party system can survive a Biden presidency as long as the Senate control remains with the Republicans. That puts incredible significance on two Senate runoff elections in Georgia.

If somehow the Democrats win both runoffs, forging a tie in the Senate, then the tie-breaking vote goes to the sitting vice president, which figures to be a Democrat for the next four years.

Then it’s hello D.C. and Puerto Rico statehood and goodbye checks and balances in the federal government – first the executive and legislative branches will be under one-party control and, eventually, the judicial will tilt left be it by immediate Supreme Court packing, or eventual loading up with liberal judges appointed by Democratic presidents and confirmed by Democratic-controlled Senates.

Simply put, the United States as we know it has come to an existential crossroads, with two runoff elections in Georgia likely the last line of defense.

There is nothing inherently wrong with making a list, or even checking it twice, as Santa Claus does annually to separate the naughty from the nice.

I routinely cobble up to-do lists, shopping lists and wish lists. If the intent is not Machiavellian, there is no problem with lists.

However, when it’s bitter leftists making up lists of political enemies, for the purpose of punishing them, that is a different matter.

Some of the boobs on the left actually have taken to the airwaves to boast of such, or have posted on social media about their plans, or simply have used their jobs in mainstream media to promote hateful lists – without any restraint as it turns out.

These saps want to create a list so as to blacklist anyone who ever worked in the Trump administration or in the ongoing effort to determine the honesty of this presidential election.

Presumably, the dopes eventually will want to list for retribution the names of anyone who voted for Trump, which would be one long, long list, standing at 72 million plus currently, and growing.

The time is upon us for the conservative half of the country to start making lists, too. Begin with a list of web sites to stop supporting, specifically those who throw money at leftist causes or impose their fingers on the scales to alter public discourse.

Drop Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Substitute Mewe.com, Parler.com and Rumble.com. I already have signed up for Parler and Rumble and might be looking into Mewe soon.

The one-world government goons only have power over you if you cede it to them. Social media is their catchall method to control minds and, by extension, elections and public policy.

Is it worth it to cyber-brag by posting your family photos, or to tweet that you’re sitting on the couch doing nothing as usual to all your followers, when the downside is enriching leftist elite ownership that wouldn’t wipe their shoes on your prone bodies unless those bodies first were dipped in bleach?

I never have posted on Facebook, although I did briefly open an account this year to access the marketplace feature in pursuit of used Mustangs.

I threw in the towel when Zuck’s crew never allowed me to access the marketplace. Facebook didn’t provide answers to my inquiries, but users of Facebook told me I needed to establish “friends” and put up some posts and pictures so they knew I was a legitimate person.

This has nothing to do with Facebook trying to be conscientious. Instead, they want that information so they can merchandise me by selling my information to online advertising, or homing in on those I would correspond with so as to merchandise them, too.

Not being willing to play their game, I punted and canceled my account.

Similarly I’ve never posted on Twitter, which too often is the morons’ megaphone. I’ve been on Twitter to read tweets from people I respect, often their investing thoughts. But I see even on their threads that people interacting with them seem to have an inverse relationship between their knowledge and how much they have to say.

In other words, the idiots post a lot more than the thoughtful types.

This doesn’t even factor in the inequity of censorship by those who run the sites, which is skewed heavily toward silencing conservatives, but letting any far-left group have the freedom to post falsehoods, or hateful thoughts, without fear of being labeled as such.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions – yes, another list – will be to make a conscious effort to support conservative businesses in coming years. Intellectual honesty isn’t easy, but it is worth the effort.

I was struck by a recent Peter Grandich investment podcast on Kitco.com in which he spoke of shutting down his business of providing money management advice for professional athletes because he found it conflicted with his Catholic faith and the support of pro sports of such anarchist organizations as Black Lives Matter.

It’s time this nation discovered those on the right can take stands, too. It starts with each individual making the effort on the road toward achieving critical mass.

This is Veteran’s Day and vets such as my late father and three deceased uncles would be horrified at what has transpired in this nation, whose way of life they fought to preserve.

The uncles served in World War II, in the European and Pacific theaters, and fortunately all returned to live out their lives as civilians. My father fought in Korea and came home unscathed.

Too many others were not as lucky.

Imagine their surprise, were they alive, to see massive voting irregularities that are being swept under the rug by the allegedly victorious Biden campaign, not to mention the media types who serve as the Democratic party’s public relations organs.

The New York Times, with its revamped slogan of “All the News That Fits Our Agenda, We Print,” came out yesterday with a headline that proclaimed “No Evidence of Voter Fraud.” Of course, they backed that off in the body of the story, downgrading to no evidence of massive fraud that changed the outcome.

Yet tonight’s Tucker Carlson show on Fox ran a lengthy list of names of deceased people who had voted in this election. This is evidence of election fraud and unless the New York Times can prove Carlson wrong, then a retraction of the headline is in order.

This is an old tabloid journalism trick, that the Times once was above, that being to write an incendiary headline that the story doesn’t support. Generic example: “Does chewing gum cause cancer? See Page 7” Then you turn to Page 7 and find no, it doesn’t.

As for meaningful evidence of election-changing fraud, in some of these states with extremely close vote totals it really wouldn’t take many dead voters state-wide to make a difference.

And that doesn’t even address the apparent rampant bastardization of the mail-in votes. I want to know who legitimately won this election, not whose organization could best manipulate the vote by altering counts or submitting hordes of invalid votes.

To repeat, is it mere coincidence that Republican poll watchers were banned from doing their jobs, most notably in Philadelphia? Is it mere coincidence that this was done in a Liberal stronghold, but our Left-leaning Lamestreet Media sees no problem?

Reverse the roles, have Democratic poll watchers barred and get ready to see the outrage shouted from the highest hills by these very same media types who see no problem here.

This is what bothers Trump supporters, this inconsistent application of standards and rules. Trump and his supporters are held to a ridiculously strict standard. Leftists can commit murder and their supporters will scream police brutality should they be arrested.

Defenders of the Blue Crew will maintain that the Republicans have no more than circumstantial evidence of widespread voter fraud. But mostly circumstantial evidence was enough to convict Timothy McVeigh for murder and conspiracy.

Circumstantial evidence was similarly the preponderance of the evidence that convicted Scott Peterson in the murder of his pregnant wife in a very high-profile case.

Circumstantial evidence certainly should be considered and weighed heavily in the matter of the integrity of the election for president of this nation.

Georgia has announced that it will look at its election results in-depth, but will this be the sort of meaningful audit that ferrets out fraud, or merely one that makes sure the ballots – valid or not – were counted correctly?

I want to know if reports of massive irregularities in mail-in voting, things like signatures not matching, ballots not being signed at all, ballots arriving late or not in the proper outer envelope, will be checked.

Obviously it is much easier for a dead person to vote by mail than in-person, perhaps a factor in the push by Democrats for more and more mail-in votes.

I want to know if the Philadelphia votes that were run through without a poll watcher present for the Republicans will be refactored.

I want a check to see if allegations of manipulation of electronic vote totals due to software glitches, or more nefarious reasons, are accurate.

At worst, this should be viewed as a warning and a call for preparation to avoid similar shenanigans in the two Georgia runoff elections for U.S. Senate that have the potential to deadlock the Senate and give President Harris – as part of her VP duties – the deciding vote in a tie.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, sire of the portly actress of the same surname, already is salivating at removing “minority” from his title.

“Now we take Georgia then we change America,” he screamed at a recent event.

Notice he didn’t say win the elections in Georgia. Too many Democrats like to take things, particularly elections.

Were Lewis Carroll authoring Alice in Wonderland today he would need neither a vivid imagination, nor the drugs some imply aided the former. No, Carroll could just send Alice down the rabbit hole of the 2020 presidential election – the buildup, the actual event, and the aftermath.

Democrats, as is their wont, are feverish in their pleas for what benefits them at the moment. Recall their righteous indignation in 2000 when they wanted painstaking examination of the election that their guy, Al Gore, lost and George W. Bush won.

Now, never mind the ever-growing reports of voter fraud, their guy, Joe Biden, won this time, so let’s get on with it.

Do you think that would seem curioser and curioser to Alice?

Or do the Democrats forget that just this past August bitter Hillary Clinton, their losing presidential candidate in 2016, went public urging Biden “not concede under any circumstances”?

That seems to be pretty much a blank check for a “losing” candidate. She anticipated Republicans would “mess up absentee balloting.”

So Trump, in a remarkable display of bipartisanship, is taking Hillary’s advice and refusing to concede because he’s not sure the Democrats, to borrow Hillary’s line, didn’t “mess up absentee balloting.”

You will see most of the Lamestream Media profess there is no evidence of any funny business with mail-in ballots. Yet if you look close enough, on sites such as zerohedge.com, there are plenty of stories. Just today there was a former California woman, since moved to Texas where she voted for Trump in-person, who was surprised to learn she’d voted in California, too. By mail. Likely for Biden since she was registered as a Democrat.

This same woman also discovered she had voted in 2016, except she hadn’t

Project Veritas has video of questionable vote harvesting and procurement.

Funny how the Lamestreet Media ran with unverified, since dis-proven smears on Trump, but now is working overtime to knock down the fraud claims.

Statistical analysis I’ve read, again on zerohedge.com, suggests that the way the late votes ran almost entirely to Biden defies probability. Others note an uncharacteristic disconnect between Biden votes and a lack of same for down-the-ticket Democrats. Again, possible, but highly unlikely.

Florida, Michigan, Georgia and others had precincts record votes by more than 100 percent of registered voters. Nothing to see there. Just move along.

All the above taken together indicate at least a closer look is in order.

Add in the constitutional end-run around the state legislature attempted by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf, our Heinrich Himmler look-alike, that constitutional scholars have called blatantly lawless, and you have even more questions and reasons to double-check the count here and elsewhere.

Sticking with Wolf and his amusing spokesperson on matters of Coronavirus, Pennsylvania is experiencing record cases, yet Wolf isn’t rushing to shut down the state as he had when it had the greatest potential to hamstring Trump’s re-election push.

Now that Wolf can pull on his nightshirt and sleep peacefully convinced that his guy Biden has won, the state is open for business, record numbers of virus cases be damned.

Hypocrisy is the religion of the political left and Wolf is a model member of the flock.

Someone pry Nancy Pelosi away from her $24,000 ‘fridge stocked with $13-a-pint ice cream long enough to get her thoughts on Pennsylvania being open.

Alice might want some of that ice cream for her tea party.

She also might want to invite Biden, but first smear some of that ice cream on his face to wake him up and remind him he’s not running for the U.S. Senate.

Ah, but Biden had someone write him a comment on Trump’s refusal to concede. “An embarrassment,” he parroted.

This is strong stuff from a guy who should know embarrassments, having reared Hunter, whose checkered past includes drug problems, fathering a bastard child to a woman he met in a strip club, and being involved in a lot of questionable business deals.

Republicans would help Carroll’s modern Alice tale, too. Attorney General William Barr has given prosecutors the go-ahead to look into voting irregularities.

This prompted the guy who was supposed to do that job, to quit.

Lamestreet Media reports on this and other voter fraud stories always slip in the adjective “unfounded” before words suggesting anything less than a totally honest election.

This is Psych 101, about on par with the “mostly peaceful” boilerplate description tacked on reports of any Antifa or Black Lives Matters protests, even when the accompanying video showed burning cars and buildings, or looting, or all of the above and more.

Don’t worry Lamestreet Media, with Barr on the job, we shouldn’t have a report on election irregularities until about 2030.

Finally, as Trump predicted, we have word of an effective COVID-19 vaccine, which prompted the stock markets to melt-up Monday.

How Curioser and Curiouser, Alice, that this came so soon AFTER the election. Add to the striking coincidence, that it was Big Pharma member Pfizer that announced the breakthrough. That would be the same Pfizer that Trump browbeat into taking back huge price increases on drugs in 2018.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, Alice, sort of like Pelosi’s designer ice cream stash.

We have so much hypocrisy, so much intellectual dishonesty and so much just plain inconsistency ongoing, it’s a smorgasbord of subjects for commentary.

• Remember the leftists who were horrified that Trump rallies would super-spread Coronavirus? Well, based on their socialist celebrations of Biden’s alleged victory in the presidential race, I guess COVID-19 only affects those on the right side of the political spectrum.
• In the area where I live, the media’s calling of the election for Biden seems to have emboldened the snowflakes. Biden signs have sprung up, post-election, on lawns that were unadorned before it was time – ostensibly – to boast.
• Some horn-blowing morons taunted a neighbor who had Trump signs in her yard. “Guess all your signs didn’t help” or words to that effect, to which she replied “I guess it’s because you can’t read” or words to that effect.
• Is anyone surprised that disappointed Trump supporters aren’t borrowing a page from the Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other assorted socialist Democratic-leaning organizations and expressing their rage at the outcome by burning buildings and police cars and/or looting stores?
• Fox News had an amusing montage the other night about how the Republicans are mouthing the same arguments the Democrats had used in contesting the outcome of the 2000 presidential election. It would be flat-out disingenuous for the Democrats now to criticize the Republicans for wanting all LEGITIMATE votes to be counted and correctly.
• While on the subject of voting irregularities, wake me when someone actually is going to do something about it and send some people to prison. Attorney General William Barr and special investigator John Durham were supposed to be calling to task those who ran a governmental coup attempt on President Trump. These guys have disappeared. Witness protection?
• Why is it that the main faces atop the Democratic party, Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, look like they buy Botox by the 55-gallon drum and have weekly appointments with cosmetic surgeons?
• Those Democrats celebrating like they just won the Super Bowl need a bit of perspective. The Dems spent four years beating on Trump with their lapdog mainstream media outlets, and running him through a charade impeachment based on erroneous reports that were buttressed by inaccurate media reporting on the fabricated information. They exploited COVID-19 for political purposes and made sure blue states led the lockdown parade to hamstring the economy. They used their control of the education system to mint fresh ignoramus Democratic voters. They spent more than $100 million to win Florida for Biden, but he lost the state to Trump. Similarly, they spent more than a $100 million and could not unseat South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. They lost House seats overall. They don’t appear to be in position to take the Senate majority. They barely beat Trump – subject to attempts to correct various reports of faulty ballot tabulation and outright lawbreaking in the pursuit of a Biden win. No wonder that Pelosi was taking heat in a leaked conference call with her underlings.
• If you’re betting on whether or not Joe Biden makes it through a four-year term, take the under. Whether due to him being declared incompetent, succumbing to age, or having one of those “accidents” so many prominent Dems have suffered when they are out of favor, I don’t like his chances. If his alleged win holds, he already has done his bit as a beard for the socialists who otherwise could not win national elections.
• I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that it is Democratic-controlled, deep blue areas, that had trouble processing votes in timely fashion and now appear to have been caught trying to influence the totals.
• This is the political version of when the scanner errs in computing your bill at the checkout. Did you ever wonder why those mistakes aren’t in the customer’s favor more often?
