But when ballot harvesting was deployed in California, we saw late ballots break heavily for Democrats. …

Which brings us back to the Democrats’ push to extend California-style mail-in voting and ballot harvesting to the entire country.
Under such a system, ballots are mailed to every address on registration rolls. So they’d be going to the outdated addresses and to addresses of people who had died or moved. ‘Activists’ would pick up those ballots, quote-unquote, after filling them out, casting votes for the Democrat candidates on the ballots. Easy peasy. That’s precisely what happened in California.
But when President Trump brought this up, he was immediately ‘fact-checked’ by some of the most dishonest media outlets in our country — outlets that define the president’s definition of “fake news.”
“In response, a CNN ‘fact check’ declares that Mr. Trump ‘opened a new front in his campaign of lies about voter fraud.’ A New York Times headline asserts: ‘Trump Is Pushing a False Argument on Vote-by-Mail Fraud.’ Both claim that voter fraud is essentially nonexistent,” John R. Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, wrote in The Wall Street Journal this week.
In fact, as Lott noted, the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform on the subject was thus: “Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.”
Who was on that panel? It was co-chaired by former Secretary of State James Baker and former Democratic President Jimmy Carter.
Lott notes further:

Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” The report provides examples, such as the 1997 Miami mayoral election that resulted in 36 arrests for absentee-ballot fraud. The election had to be rerun, and the result was reversed.
He also lists some more recent cases:
— In 2017 following the result of in investigation into a Dallas City Council election, officials found 700 fraudulent mail-in ballots that were signed by the same witness using a phony name. The discovery of this fraud left two council races in limbo; it also resulted in a criminal conviction.

— Another tactic is listing an impossible number of people at the same address. “In 2016, 83 registered voters in San Pedro, Calif., received absentee ballots at the same small two-bedroom apartment. Prosecutors rarely pursue this type of case,” Lott wrote.
The perfumed princes and princesses of the Democrat poser press can find this evidence too, but they have to want to look for it. And when they find it, they have to want to acknowledge it by actually reporting it.
Finally, always remember, Democrats would not be pursuing mail-in balloting and vote harvesting if they didn’t think it would give them an advantage politically.
President Trump knows this. And last week, he was right again.

thedcclothesline--2020-04-20--Most Americans Are Not Going To Be Able To Handle What Is Ahead

Based on how Americans are handling the coronavirus lockdowns , it is hard to be optimistic about what will happen when a really severe crisis hits us .
Yes , this pandemic is definitely a great tragedy .
There are more than 700,000 confirmed cases in the U.S. and more than 40,000 Americans have died .
But it isn ’ t the end of the world .
I am sorry to tell you this , but COVID-19 is not the worst thing that we are going to face .
In fact , it is not even close to the worst @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So it is a bit disheartening to see so many Americans responding to this pandemic so poorly .
Let me give you some examples of what I am talking about .
Polling firms have been extremely active lately , and even though nearly 40 percent of all U.S. adults are obese , one survey found that Americans are binging on snack foods during these lockdowns like never before… If overeating was all that we had to worry about , I could live with that .
take our poll - story continues below @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also indulging in a whole bunch of other self-destructive behaviors during this time .
At a moment in our history when alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. are already at an all-time high , heavy drinkers have decided that this pandemic is a perfect opportunity to drink even more… In areas that have been hit extremely hard by COVID-19 , sales increases have been especially dramatic .
In New York City , one liquor store owner says that it is “ like New Year ’ s every day ” during his city ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and drinking they need something to do , and so the average American is streaming approximately eight hours of shows and movies every single day… This helps to explain why Netflix stock has been absolutely soaring recently .
Personally , I have never watched “ Tiger King ” and I have absolutely no desire to do so .
In fact , I have not had a Netflix subscription for over a decade .
Very few corporations have embraced pure evil to the extent that Netflix has , but most Americans don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Netflix is absolutely rolling in revenue .
In addition to binge watching television , Americans are also doing much more online gambling… To me , this doesn ’ t make any sense at all .
One recent survey found that about half of all Americans will have run through all of their savings by the end of April .
If you aren ’ t going to have enough money to pay your bills next month , why would you want to be gambling the little money that you do have away ?
Sadly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ society is equipped to handle hard times .
Even before this pandemic started , the suicide rate in the U.S. was at an all-time record high , and more Americans were overdosing on drugs than ever before in our history .
But everything that I have shared with you so far pales in comparison to what I am going to share with you now .
As this pandemic has sent a wave of fear sweeping across the country , it has also created a boom in business at abortion clinics all over America… @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tend to reveal who we truly are as a nation .
And right now the message that we are sending to the rest of the world with our behavior is not a good one .
Past generations of Americans were called to go to war , but we have been called to stay at home for a few weeks , and we can ’ t seem to even handle that very well .
Amazingly , the mainstream media has somehow convinced a majority of the American people that the lockdowns should continue .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Street Journal poll just found… The longer these lockdowns persist , the more self-destructive Americans are likely to become .
But eventually they will end , and most people will attempt to resume their normal lives .
Of course it is just a matter of time before an even bigger crisis than this pandemic comes along , and if we are failing so badly this time around , how in the world will people be able to handle something even worse ?

If overeating was all that we had to worry about, I could live with that.
But it turns out that Americans are also indulging in a whole bunch of other self-destructive behaviors during this time. At a moment in our history when alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. are already at an all-time high, heavy drinkers have decided that this pandemic is a perfect opportunity to drink even more…
One in five said they are guzzling more alcohol, though that number was higher, at 30%, among those 18 to 35 — or millennials and Gen-Zers.
In areas that have been hit extremely hard by COVID-19, sales increases have been especially dramatic. In New York City, one liquor store owner says that it is “like New Year’s every day” during his city’s lockdown…
With the initial surge of panic buying over, wine and marijuana sales are still way up, presenting an opportunity — and a challenge — for the businesses scrambling to meet the demand spikes and shifts in consumer behavior. “It’s like New Year’s every day,” said Mark Schwartz, the owner of Little Mo Wine and Spirits in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, who has seen alcohol sales shoot up fourfold.
Of course while they are eating and drinking they need something to do, and so the average American is streaming approximately eight hours of shows and movies every single day…
The average American is passing the time amid the new coronavirus pandemic by streaming roughly eight hours of shows and movies every day, a recent survey shows. OnePoll surveyed 2,000 Americans with access to at least one streaming service and found that not only was the average person watching eight hours’ worth of content but also likely went through three series in a week alone, StudyFinds reported.
This helps to explain why Netflix stock has been absolutely soaring recently.
Personally, I have never watched “Tiger King” and I have absolutely no desire to do so. In fact, I have not had a Netflix subscription for over a decade. Very few corporations have embraced pure evil to the extent that Netflix has, but most Americans don’t seem to care, and right now Netflix is absolutely rolling in revenue.
In addition to binge watching television, Americans are also doing much more online gambling…
Online poker revenues were up more than 100 percent from February, and iGaming revenue reached a new record of $64.8 million according to the figures released Wednesday for New Jersey, one of two states that allow online gambling.
To me, this doesn’t make any sense at all.
One recent survey found that about half of all Americans will have run through all of their savings by the end of April. If you aren’t going to have enough money to pay your bills next month, why would you want to be gambling the little money that you do have away?
Sadly, it does not appear that our society is equipped to handle hard times. Even before this pandemic started, the suicide rate in the U.S. was at an all-time record high, and more Americans were overdosing on drugs than ever before in our history.
But everything that I have shared with you so far pales in comparison to what I am going to share with you now.
As this pandemic has sent a wave of fear sweeping across the country, it has also created a boom in business at abortion clinics all over America…
The Trust Women abortion clinic in Wichita, Kansas, reported performing 252 abortions in March, up from 90 in March, 2019. Julie Burkhart, the chief executive of Trust Women, told RT.com this week that between the Wichita, Kansas clinic and her other clinic in Oklahoma City (which was briefly closed but has since reopened), they have seen a “300 to 400 percent” increase in their patient load. “The women who have been calling are uncertain about having a baby when the world is so unpredictable all of a sudden, and they’re worried about money due to the sharp rise in unemployment,” she said. “We’ve been seeing more women calling earlier than usual in their pregnancy, and there’s this urgent nature to it.”
Just like with individuals, great challenges tend to reveal who we truly are as a nation.
And right now the message that we are sending to the rest of the world with our behavior is not a good one.

Amazingly, the mainstream media has somehow convinced a majority of the American people that the lockdowns should continue. Just check out what a NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll just found…
Nearly 60 percent of American voters say they are more concerned that a relaxation of stay-at-home restrictions would lead to more COVID-19 deaths than they are that those restrictions will hurt the U.S. economy, according to a new national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. But while strong majorities of Democrats and independents are more worried about the coronavirus than the economy, Republicans are divided on the question, with almost half of them more concerned about how the restrictions could affect the economy.
The longer these lockdowns persist, the more self-destructive Americans are likely to become.
But eventually they will end, and most people will attempt to resume their normal lives.

thedcclothesline--2020-04-20--This is what Democrat TYRANNY looks like: Calif. city filling in skate park with sand to keep people

This is what Democrat TYRANNY looks like: Calif. city filling in skate park with sand to keep people out because ‘muh coronavirus’

There is no scientific or medical rationale for this .
This has nothing to do with a virus .
This has nothing to do with protecting people .
This is about power .
California is filling their skate parks with sand to make them unusable amid mandated lockdown .
And , as BizPac Review notes , the park ’ s closure has real-world implications for residents : City officials in one California community have covered a local skate park with sand to keep bored teenagers out , thus reportedly leaving one diabetic teen who “ needs to stay moving ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also raising the ire of liberty-minded conservatives .
“ Noli Stark and his mom sat in their car in the parking lot looking at San Clemente ’ s popular skate park , gates shut and sand covering the surface of his favorite playground , ” the Orange County Register reported last Thursday .
According to his mother , Jen , it was her diabetic son ’ s “ last bit of freedom.
” “ It was all he had left .
He was devastated , ” she said .
But to hear local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are “ the greatest public-health threat imaginable , ” as Republican Sen. Ted Cruz put it in a tweet posted late Saturday… “ … [ F ] killing a skate park with sand — so nobody can use it — is an authoritarian abuse of power , ” the Texas Republican notes .
That ’ s certainly true .
It ’ s also an incredibly wasteful abuse of taxpayer funds which were no doubt used to build the skate park in the first place .
If there is a better example of “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away , ” we ’ d like to see it .
Taxpayers can be made to pay for these amenities but they have no say when rulers deny access to them .
Cruz isn ’ t the only one who sees this act for what it is — tyrannical .
“ The move by the city to cover the concrete at the Ralph ’ s Skate Court with gritty , grainy sand has local skaters irked , wondering if such drastic measures were needed to keep people out of the park .
Some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the skate park tucked in the hills of the seaside community , ” the Register noted .
Almost certainly nobody at City Hall thought about what kind of damage could be done to the park , only that they were going to close it , community be damned , and to Hades with you peon citizens if you don ’ t like it .

And, as BizPac Review notes, the park’s closure has real-world implications for residents:
City officials in one California community have covered a local skate park with sand to keep bored teenagers out, thus reportedly leaving one diabetic teen who “needs to stay moving” in an exceptionally tough spot, and also raising the ire of liberty-minded conservatives.
“Noli Stark and his mom sat in their car in the parking lot looking at San Clemente’s popular skate park, gates shut and sand covering the surface of his favorite playground,” the Orange County Register reported last Thursday.
According to his mother, Jen, it was her diabetic son’s “last bit of freedom.”
“It was all he had left. He was devastated,” she said.
But to hear local officials tell it, kids on skateboards are “the greatest public-health threat imaginable,” as Republican Sen. Ted Cruz put it in a tweet posted late Saturday…
2/2 And to all the Lefties defending California’s idiocy, skating alone poses ZERO public health threat to anybody. You want to enforce social distancing in public spaces, fine, but filling a skate park with sand—so nobody can use it—is authoritarian abuse of power. — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) April 19, 2020
“…[F]killing a skate park with sand — so nobody can use it — is an authoritarian abuse of power,” the Texas Republican notes. That’s certainly true.
It’s also an incredibly wasteful abuse of taxpayer funds which were no doubt used to build the skate park in the first place. If there is a better example of “the government giveth, the government taketh away,” we’d like to see it.
Taxpayers can be made to pay for these amenities but they have no say when rulers deny access to them.
Cruz isn’t the only one who sees this act for what it is — tyrannical.
“The move by the city to cover the concrete at the Ralph’s Skate Court with gritty, grainy sand has local skaters irked, wondering if such drastic measures were needed to keep people out of the park. Some wonder if the sandy surface may damage the skate park tucked in the hills of the seaside community,” the Register noted.

Almost certainly nobody at City Hall thought about what kind of damage could be done to the park, only that they were going to close it, community be damned, and to Hades with you peon citizens if you don’t like it.
This certainly isn’t the only act of tyranny in the country, just one of the most egregious. Such acts are being repeated all over, and with greater frequency.
The point is this: Americans can appreciate government’s concern about a public health issue without having to endure blatant acts of tyranny. There can, and should, be balance, and in a lot of places around the country — South Dakota comes to mind — there is balance.
But in places where Democrats rule, there seems to be little or no consideration whatsoever given to civil and constitutional liberties, let alone responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources, as evidenced by decisions to fill in skate parks with sand over ‘muh coronavirus.’

(Natural News) The coronavirus continues to devastate the world. The latest tally from Johns Hopkins University reveals that the global caseload is now past 2.1 million, four months after it was first detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
According to Beijing’s official timeline, however, the last part of that sentence should be revised to “late December 2019, after which it shared the results to the World Health Organization” as it attempts to rewrite the coronavirus narrative. The government has been aggressively pushing its “mask diplomacy strategy” in Eastern Europe, with leaders from Serbia, Hungary and the Czech Republic heaping praises on China.
Where’s Waldo, the whistleblower edition
Back home, authorities are still hard at work, silencing whistleblowers or, like what happened with Dr. Li Wenliang, spinning the narrative in their favor. On April 2, the Chinese Communist Party named Li – the whistleblower doctor who sounded the alarm on coronavirus before dying from the disease in February – a “martyr,” the highest honor the party can confer on a citizen who died working to serve China.

The same can’t be said for two other whistleblowers, who also exposed the gaps in Beijing’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, and remain missing to this day.
Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin vanished from the public sight in February after uploading videos that showed the situation in Wuhan. Another whistleblowing doctor, Ai Fen, was noted to be unreachable from March 29, but has since been confirmed to be working again at Wuhan Hospital this weekend.
According to Pierre Haski, president of Reporters Without Borders, while the information of the current whereabouts of the two is very limited, he is certain that they are in “the hands of the Chinese authorities.”
Chen, a human rights lawyer and a citizen journalist, arrived at Wuhan on Jan. 24, a day after the city was placed on lockdown. In Wuhan, he captured footage of overflowing hospitals, funeral homes and isolation wards, offering a glimpse into the grim reality of the pandemic’s epicenter.
By Feb. 6, Chen’s Weibo account had been deleted and his parents had been notified by authorities he had been put in quarantine, despite being in good health. He hasn’t been seen since.
Who can tell us where and how Chen Qiushi is now? When will anyone get to speak with him again? Chen Qiushi has been out of contact for 69 days after covering coronavirus in Wuhan.

Bin, a clothing store manager from Wuhan, went missing on Feb. 9. Before he vanished, he posted a series of videos that showed piles of dead bodies found in front of or inside a city hospital. His last video showed men in protective suits knocking on his door to measure his body temperature. In the video, Bin was shown trying to fend off authorities by saying that his temperature was normal. (Related: If you film dead bodies in China, the police will arrive at your front door and arrest you… total censorship, total cover-up of coronavirus outbreak.)
“His family remains, to this day, without news,” Haski said.
Extra checks, approvals in place for coronavirus research
In addition, the Chinese government has imposed new restrictions on scientists looking to study how COVID-19 originated. Experts believe this is another attempt to control the narrative when it comes to the global pandemic. Under the new guidelines, all papers that explore the origins of the coronavirus will be subject to extra vetting and should be approved by the government.
Prior to the new directive, Chinese researchers had already published studies criticizing the government’s initial action of the crisis.
In an interview with CNN, a researcher, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of government reprisal, accused the government of trying to “control [the] narrative” and “paint it as if the outbreak did not originate in China.”
The instructions were first published on Fudan University‘s website before it was taken down. A similar notice also appeared on the pages of the China University of Geoscience, which was also deleted.
