A Reader Wonders If New York's GOP Didn't Challenge Dem Voter Fraud In 1976  Because Of Their Own Corruption

Re : GOP Always Surrenders To Voter Fraud—Example : Carter Vs. Ford , New York State , 1976 I just read James Fulford 's piece about how the GOP historically surrenders to Democratic voter fraud , using the close 1976 presidential election as an example .
I had forgotten how close New York State was—amazing , considering the `` Ford to [ New York ] City : Drop Dead '' headlines—and so had completely forgotten that the New York State Republican Committee initially tried to get the ballots impounded for a recount .
( In fairness , I was 14 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agree with your general point that Republicans roll over and play dead when the Dems commit even the most obvious voter fraud—mostly because the fraud involves primarily black votes , and the GOP is too sensitive about charges of racism to put up much of a fight—I think New York State Republicans may have had a different reason for standing down in 1976 .
Political machines in the cities are almost always controlled by Democrats ; in the suburbs , though , some ruthlessly successful Republican machines deliver votes on Election Day , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
One such GOP machine in the 1970 's was Joseph Margiotta 's Republican fiefdom in Nassau County on Long Island , where Margiotta was the county GOP chairman from 1968 to 1983 .

I had forgotten how close New York State was—amazing, considering the "Ford to [New York] City: Drop Dead" headlines—and so had completely forgotten that the New York State Republican Committee initially tried to get the ballots impounded for a recount.

While I agree with your general point that Republicans roll over and play dead when the Dems commit even the most obvious voter fraud—mostly because the fraud involves primarily black votes, and the GOP is too sensitive about charges of racism to put up much of a fight—I think New York State Republicans may have had a different reason for standing down in 1976.
Political machines in the cities are almost always controlled by Democrats; in the suburbs, though, some ruthlessly successful Republican machines deliver votes on Election Day, and jobs to the party faithful thereafter. One such GOP machine in the 1970's was Joseph Margiotta's Republican fiefdom in Nassau County on Long Island, where Margiotta was the county GOP chairman from 1968 to 1983. This machine helped groom one Alfonse D'Amato for political stardom, teaching him to do favors for others, putting those in his debt (as a U.S. Senator, he took great joy and pleasure in a nickname that would have offended others: "Senator Pothole"). There were always rumors that Nassau County employees had to kick back a certain percentage of their income to the County Republican Party as a condition of keeping said job. Margiotta himself was ultimately indicted and convicted on federal extortion and mail fraud charges in 1981, and served 14 months in jail.
I am merely speculating here, but I suspect that not too long after the Republican State Committee obtained a temporary restraining order from a state judge to impound the 1976 Presidential ballots, its counsel, Richard Rosenbaum, got a call from Long Island: "Joe says ixnay on the ecount-ray." The point being: who knows how many votes the Nassau County GOP machine stole in '76? And who wanted a recount that might have brought such, uh, irregularities, to light? Presidents serve four-year terms; county machine bosses are forever.

iSteve commenter Daddybob suggests:
NEXT ON SEATTLE’S AGENDA: Walling off the back third of each city bus because that’s where the black people had to sit during segregation two thousand miles from Seattle.
iSteve commenter Last Real Calvinist responds:
That’s not good enough. The back of the bus needs to be eliminated.
But once the back of the bus has been removed, there will be a new ‘back of the bus’ . . . .
No worries; according to Zeno’s Paradox, the back of the bus can be removed infinitely, and there will always be some bus left over.
This sums up the logic behind a lot of progressive ‘thinking’, actually.

• Big Pharma ca n't tell you about the synergistic effects of the COVID-19 vaccine with other vaccines .
• Nor can Big Pharma tell you about the long-term side effects of its `` miraculous '' shots .

A majority of voters believe that Australia’s high immigration rate (which drives two thirds of the country’s annual population growth) is responsible for the deterioration of the quality of life in our big cities and of the natural environment whilst less than a third accept the elites’ economic case for high immigration viz to ensure economic growth. Whilst aggregate GDP thrives on high immigration, it is per-capita GDP and real wage growth—the practical measures of living standards for your average Bruce and Sharon—that have atrophied because of high immigration, say the researchers.
The survey also dares to tread on the sacrosanct area of “ethnic and cultural diversity”, a moralistic incantation that is used by political and cultural leaders to ring-fence immigration from criticism. At least half the electorate “do not support the progressive cultural values that left elites regard as legitimating high immigration”.

According to a news release, the role of the National Guard is to “…support law enforcement during any period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury’s decision concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Brown.” “As part of our ongoing efforts to plan and be prepared for any contingency, it is necessary to have these resources in place in advance of any announcement of the grand jury’s decision,” Nixon said in the release.
[Nixon Activates Missouri National Guard in Response to Potential 'Period of Unrest,' CBS St. Louis, November 17 2014]
It's worth remembering that at this point, the media's Narrative of an unarmed "Gentle Giant" randomly murdered by a racist white cop has utterly collapsed. However, this doesn't seem to matter. So Democrats can whip up black voters and reporters can vent their hatred at whites living in the burbs, a lot of people are going to suffer. And the orders to let this happen are coming from the top down.

After a summer of terror by Black Lives Matter rioters and Antifa in nearly every major city in the U.S., it was time for the sleeping giant to show their numbers.

Speaking with attendees, we asked whether or not they believe Trump should concede in the case that Joe Biden is officially declared President-Elect.
"Any Republican in the GOP that does not support our president will be out. We are watching." says Lisa Westerman. We met her in front of the Supreme Court, where patriots were facing off with Antifa in black bloc clothing. "This! These people," she said, pointing at Antifa behind the police, "that were allowed to tear and burn down cities. We are taking our country back!"
Of course, the Main Stream Media condemned the rally, claiming it was "unsafe" for thousands of people to go about unmasked. Of course these were the same media hypocrites who have long supported private citizens joining gangs of street rioters and looters in "mostly peaceful protests." But a protest in support of the President of the United States? That's dangerous!
Alex Jones, Nick Fuentes, Vincent James, and Mike Lindell were just a few of the patriots to join the marchers.

At Harry's Pub, we sat down with Shane Trejo, a former Michigan poll watcher turned whistle-blower when he encountered what he believed to be election fraud.
"I actually saw all the ballots come in as a poll challenger in Detroit at the absentee voting processing center. On election night they showed up with 61 boxes of ballots at the dead of night—3:30AM, but all the ballots had to be in by 8PM... three African American gentlemen show up with boxes of ballots at the dead of night and we have no chain of custody, have no clue where they were from and could have easily been fake."
Our tight production schedule was interrupted when the Communist vigilantes saw their time to strike. At 6:30pm, while shooting our last scheduled interviews before returning home to begin a blitzkrieg editing session, we began hearing commotion from the streets outside. Heading out the doors, we quickly realized we wouldn't be going home anytime soon. Antifa took over the streets to prey upon patriots celebrating after a successful day in their nation’s capital city. Although ignored by the MSM, it was serious:

The Phinney Neighborhood Association in Seattle reports:
Anti-racism work updates: Eliminating racist symbolism
July 27, 2020
Dear PhinneyWood Community,
We have a few updates to share with you about our on-going commitment to anti-racism and equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) at the PNA.
You are probably familiar with the neighborhood tradition of the winter holiday monkeys. For the last five years, these LED-lit metal monkeys hung in the windows of businesses and organizations along the Phinney-Greenwood corridor. The monkey project was initially spearheaded by the PNA Business Group with the intent to bring a spirit and tradition unique to the PhinneyWood neighborhood. They chose monkeys as a complement to Woodland Park Zoo WildLights, perhaps as “escaped” animals from that display. …
In December 2019, the PNA hired Dar’Nesha Weary as the new executive director, who is Black. Soon after she was hired, she expressed concern regarding the monkeys, given that monkeys are routinely used as a racist slur against Black people. She felt uncomfortable “selling” the monkeys as part of her job representing the organization given that historic context. Soon after she expressed this opinion, she and another member of our staff who is a person of color received a racist email that invoked exactly this racist imagery, with a derogatory caption that referenced her objection to the monkey lights as a symbol for the neighborhood. The email claimed to be from “Friends of the PNA.” The PNA reported the incident to local police and tried to trace the origin of the email, but to no avail.
Dar’Nesha resigned from PNA in early June 2020. She has vocally stated that much of her decision to leave involved structural racism that she endured while working at PNA, and she specifically has mentioned the monkeys, along with other examples, in her public statements. The Board listened to her concerns, and determined that, at this critical moment in time, removing the monkeys as a visible symbol (and fundraiser) of PNA – a largely white organization who has been made more made aware of structural racism in our community – is the right thing to do. .

I Warned Them! MAGA Marchers Hit By Same Leftists Enabled By Charlottesville. Patriots Are On Their Own

See earlier : Charlottesville After Three Years : Dress Rehearsal For 2020 's Nation-Wide Communist Coup and more recently , I WAS THERE : Million MAGA March A HUGE SUCCESS—But Police Fail To Quell After-Dark Antifa Attacks [ VIDEO ] From President Trump ’ s 2017 Inauguration to 2020 ’ s Million MAGA March , Antifa and their journalist allies have been testing to see what they can get away with–and the answer is literally everything .
Trump ’ s inauguration was the scene of open political violence that was celebrated as the birth of the “ punch a Nazi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Right in 2017 , government collusion with Antifa violence was ignored in favor of a politically useful myth about fascists “ attacking ” a town .
This myth then became the basis of Joe Biden ’ s campaign , even though the worst scenes from Charlottesville—from sprawling street brawls to drivers barreling through threatening crowds—have become so commonplace in the summer of BLM they are not even worth mentioning .
Finally , this past weekend featured by Trump supporters being attacked within the capital city itself , with the president reduced to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to do their job .
But they didn ’ t and they never will—because Trump , Republican elected officials and Conservatism Inc. have made it clear that they consider letting their own supporters be attacked in the street is less risky than actually using government power to defend them .
Patriots , of all shades , are on their own .
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow saw what seemingly no one else did on Inauguration Day—that the Leftist violence taking place as President Trump took office would be just the beginning .
There was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , of course , Richard Spencer being punched in the face while doing a TV interview .
( Significantly , it was on camera , but no-one was ever arrested ) .
One would think that journalists would denounce sucker-punching someone being interviewed by a journalist , but in fact many publications then and afterward were either neutral or outright celebratory : • The Best Memes Of Neo-Nazi Richard Spencer Getting Punched To Music , by Jordan Darville , Fader , January 23 , 2017 • Right-wing extremist Richard Spencer got punched , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ego , by Kaitlyn Tiffany , The Verge , January 23 , 2017 • The debate over punching white nationalist Richard Spencer in the face , explained , by German Lopez , Vox , January 26 , 2017 ( Of course , I ’ m sure many Americans would enjoy hearing “ the debate over punching journalists in the face , explained.
” Yet somehow I doubt the Fourth Estate wants that conversation ) .
Still , many Republicans and conservatives moved on , because it was just “ a neo-Nazi ” who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that .
When the overwhelmingly majority of those arrested in the Inauguration Day riots had their charges dropped many months later , no-one noticed except VDARE.com 's Nicholas Stix .
In August 2017 in Charlottesville , demonstrators who wanted to protect the statue of Robert E. Lee received a permit for a rally which the police failed to defend and closed down after it became a melee .
Things culminated when James Fields hit a crowd with his car , killing Heather Heyer and receiving more than four centuries in prison for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take place ?
Ultimately , an independent report from the city of Charlottesville itself concluded that city authorities , notably then-police chief Al Thomas , actively sought violence .
“ Let them fight , ” he said , “ it will be easier to declare an unlawful assembly.
” This resulted in police shoving UTR demonstrators into Antifa , predictably leading to wild brawls .
President Trump blamed both sides for violence , though he took care to denounce “ the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists ” whom he said “ should be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joe Biden Repeats The Charlottesville ‘ Very Fine People Hoax ’ ; Lester Holt Does Not Correct , by Joel Pollak , Breitbart , October 5 , 2020 ] .
However , that was not what the MSM chose to hear .
Instead , since August 2017 , through the presidential campaign , and even until now , we have been told that President Trump called neo-Nazis “ very fine people.
” Joe Biden made this accusation repeatedly during the campaign .
Indeed , he said that the president ’ s “ moral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and those with the courage to stand against it ” was one of the reasons he ran [ Joe Biden : “ America Is An Idea , Washington Post , April 25 , 2019 ] .
This is as Orwellian as the candidate of Affirmative Action and Black Lives Matter faulting President Trump because he ’ ll “ go on dividing us based on race ” [ ‘ This Week ’ Transcript 2-9-20 : Joe Biden , Pete Buttigieg , Sen. Elizabeth Warren , ABC News , February 9 , 2020 ] .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ events , with Joe Biden commenting that Antifa are just an “ idea ” [ Biden Says Antifa Is “ An Idea , Not Organization ’ during Presidential Debate , by Brittany Bernstein , Yahoo News , September 29 , 2020 ] .
In the bizarro world of American politics that we are entering , “ hate ” is evidently not a universal emotion but something concrete that that can move around and cause our country ’ s problems .
In contrast , groups that call themselves Antifa don ’ t even exist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ braindead American Conservative Movement , Antifa aren ’ t communists or anarchists either .
Instead , as Dinesh D ’ Souza tells us , American conservatives are the true “ classical liberals ” and the anti-fascists are another variety of fascists [ The Fascist Roots of the American Left , by Dinesh D ’ Souza , The Daily Signal , August 3 , 2017 ] .
It ’ s worth noting that President Trump has not pardoned General Michael Flynn , Congressman Steve Stockman , or even Michael Cohen ( if only to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him . )
However , President Trump did pardon Dinesh D ’ Souza after the latter ’ s conviction on campaign finance law violations [ Dinesh D ’ Souza : Why did Trump pardon the provocateur , by Anthony Zurcher , BBC , May 31 , 2018 ] .
Unlike in 2016 , President Trump went into the 2020 election with the support of the Conservative Establishment rather than as a populist who was running against Republicans and Democrats .
We ’ ve seen what good that did him .
If there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slogan ) that defines American conservatism , it ’ s “ limited government ” —at least when it comes to things other than waging forever wars overseas .
True to this tradition , President Trump didn ’ t really do much of anything when the Black Lives Matter protests started , despite repeated tweets about “ Law and Order.
” In late May , President Trump said he would designate “ ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization ” [ Trump says he will designate Antifa a terrorist organization as GOP points fingers at extremists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , May 31 , 2020 ] .
This didn ’ t happen .
Instead , far from being a “ terrorist organization , ” Antifa enjoy a remarkably privileged status , rioting and committing crimes with impunity in cities around the country : • In August 2019 , two members of the Proud Boys were convicted of “ attempted gang assault , attempted assault and riot ” after brawling with Antifa while defending a Gavin McInnes speaking event—even though the supposed victims in this case refused all cooperation with police .
• In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ set up an “ autonomous zone ” ( Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone/CHAZ ) in Seattle and police meekly shuffled away , to the cheers of journalists [ Seattle ’ s newly police-free neighborhood , explained , by Katelyn Burns , Vox , June 16 , 2020 ] .
After several victims ( all black ) were shot , including by supposed CHAZ “ security , ” the district was cleared out by fed-up police and sanitation workers [ The End of Chaz , by Christopher Rufo , City Journal , July 1 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ follow up that I ’ ve seen about the CHAZ security forces accused of shooting people .
It seems black lives don ’ t Matter after all .
• In August 2020 , the county district attorney in Portland OR dropped charges against virtually all demonstrators , including those accused of rioting or interfering with police officers [ Portland protester ’ s charges dropped under new district attorney ’ s policy , by Megan Allison , KATU2 , August 23 , 2020 ] .
Portland ’ s riots appear now to be an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ main effect of the BLM movement has been to enrich a few academic and media mediocrities at the cost of getting a bunch of black people killed , along with at least two Trump supporters .
The indifference of local authorities , journalists , and the “ community ” is to be expected .
However , there has been some activity on other fronts .
In San Francisco , it ’ s now illegal to call the police if it is “ racially-motivated , ” whatever that will be determined to mean .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ that allowed riots to take place in Kenosha leapt to arrest Kyle Rittenhouse for doing the job they wouldn ’ t .
Held without bail , he might as well be convicted already .
Finally , the incoming Harris Administration ( let ’ s be honest about it ) is gearing up to introduce all sorts of new restrictions on the law-abiding , including imposing surveillance and legal restrictions on citizens who are responsible for “ anti-immigrant manifestos ” ( like VDARE.com ? )
[ Combating Violent Hate , KamalaHarris.org , Archived ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be ignored or denied .
And this includes violence against patriots who have the temerity to show up in our increasingly Third World cities .
When thousands of Trump supporters arrived in Washington DC to support the president this past weekend , they only enjoyed safety in the daylight .
At night , the same Antifa groups we are told do not exist attacked people around the city .
Even if they were women , children , or elderly , MAGA conservatives suddenly discovered there was no difference between them and Richard Spencer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Antifa/BLM Terrorists Viciously Attack Women , Children , and the Elderly , by Debra Heine , American Greatness , November 14 , 2020 ] .
Denouncing political violence is not about agreeing with this person or that–it ’ s about protecting the rights and safety of all citizens .
That line has been crossed .
To pretend “ the rule of law ” still exists is stupidity at best .
More likely , it ’ s deliberate disingenuousness .
President Trump blustered that “ ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after four years .
Every patriot and every white person in America now know that even if you defeat Antifa in the street , their media and legal allies will make sure no victory goes unpunished .
The Harris Administration ( I ’ m questioning whether they ’ ll even let Sleepy Joe take the Oath of Office ) will be far more willing to use state power than was our unbearably timid Commander-in-Chief .
Some conservative pundits might grandstand on social media ( if they are still permitted a platform ) but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effective to defend legacy Americans ’ civil rights .
The sad part : President Trump still is the best Republican who exists on these issues—even if he just limits himself to talking or tweeting .
We ’ ll want him back after he ’ s gone .
Whether you are Alt Right , Dissident Right , America First , MAGA , Republican , or just some hapless urban liberal wondering why people suddenly can smash your business or sucker-punch you , the lesson is clear .
From Inauguration Day to Charlottesville to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told you again and again that it will not protect you .
It will not allow you to protect yourself .
You ’ re on our own .
I tried to warn you .
Now , it ’ s going to get worse .

From President Trump’s 2017 Inauguration to 2020’s Million MAGA March, Antifa and their journalist allies have been testing to see what they can get away with—and the answer is literally everything. Trump’s inauguration was the scene of open political violence that was celebrated as the birth of the “punch a Nazi” meme. At the Charlottesville Unite the Right in 2017, government collusion with Antifa violence was ignored in favor of a politically useful myth about fascists “attacking” a town. This myth then became the basis of Joe Biden’s campaign, even though the worst scenes from Charlottesville—from sprawling street brawls to drivers barreling through threatening crowds—have become so commonplace in the summer of BLM they are not even worth mentioning. Finally, this past weekend featured by Trump supporters being attacked within the capital city itself, with the president reduced to pleading on Twitter for the DC police to do their job. But they didn’t and they never will—because Trump, Republican elected officials and Conservatism Inc. have made it clear that they consider letting their own supporters be attacked in the street is less risky than actually using government power to defend them. Patriots, of all shades, are on their own.
VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow saw what seemingly no one else did on Inauguration Day—that the Leftist violence taking place as President Trump took office would be just the beginning. There was the usual rioting and property destruction and, of course, Richard Spencer being punched in the face while doing a TV interview. (Significantly, it was on camera, but no one was ever arrested). One would think that journalists would denounce sucker-punching someone being interviewed by a journalist, but in fact many publications then and afterward were either neutral or outright celebratory:
(Of course, I’m sure many Americans would enjoy hearing “the debate over punching journalists in the face, explained.” Yet somehow I doubt the Fourth Estate wants that conversation.)
Still, many Republicans and conservatives moved on, because it was just “a neo-Nazi” who was punched. They weren’t like that. When the overwhelmingly majority of those arrested in the Inauguration Day riots had their charges dropped many months later, no-one noticed except VDARE.com's Nicholas Stix.
In August 2017 in Charlottesville, demonstrators who wanted to protect the statue of Robert E. Lee received a permit for a rally which the police failed to defend and closed down after it became a melee. Things culminated when James Fields hit a crowd with his car, killing Heather Heyer and receiving more than four centuries in prison for the crime.
What allowed this to take place? Ultimately, an independent report from the city of Charlottesville itself concluded that city authorities, notably then-police chief Al Thomas, actively sought violence. “Let them fight,” he said, “it will be easier to declare an unlawful assembly.” This resulted in police shoving UTR demonstrators into Antifa, predictably leading to wild brawls.
President Trump blamed both sides for violence, though he took care to denounce “the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists” whom he said “should be condemned totally” [Fact Check: Joe Biden Repeats The Charlottesville ‘Very Fine People Hoax’; Lester Holt Does Not Correct, by Joel Pollak, Breitbart, October 5, 2020]. However, that was not what the MSM chose to hear. Instead, since August 2017, through the presidential campaign, and even until now, we have been told that President Trump called neo-Nazis “very fine people.” Joe Biden made this accusation repeatedly during the campaign. Indeed, he said that the president’s “moral equivalence” between “those spreading hate and those with the courage to stand against it” was one of the reasons he ran [Joe Biden: “America Is An Idea," Washington Post, April 25, 2019].
This is as Orwellian as the candidate of Affirmative Action and Black Lives Matter faulting President Trump because he’ll “go on dividing us based on race” [‘This Week’ Transcript 2-9-20: Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, ABC News, February 9, 2020]. Antifa have been airbrushed out of these events, with Joe Biden commenting that Antifa are just an “idea” [Biden Says Antifa Is “An Idea, Not Organization" during Presidential Debate, by Brittany Bernstein, Yahoo News, September 29, 2020].
In the bizarro world of American politics that we are entering, “hate” is evidently not a universal emotion but something concrete that can move around and cause our country’s problems. In contrast, groups that call themselves Antifa don’t even exist.
But then, to the stupefyingly braindead American Conservative Movement, Antifa aren’t communists or anarchists either. Instead, as Dinesh D’Souza tells us, American conservatives are the true “classical liberals” and the anti-fascists are another variety of fascists [The Fascist Roots of the American Left, by Dinesh D’Souza, The Daily Signal, August 3, 2017].
It’s worth noting that President Trump has not pardoned General Michael Flynn, Congressman Steve Stockman, or even Michael Cohen (if only to save himself from the latter turning on him.) However, President Trump did pardon Dinesh D’Souza after the latter’s conviction on campaign finance law violations [Dinesh D’Souza: Why did Trump pardon the provocateur, by Anthony Zurcher, BBC, May 31, 2018].
Unlike in 2016, President Trump went into the 2020 election with the support of the Conservative Establishment rather than as a populist who was running against Republicans and Democrats.
We’ve seen what good that did him.
If there is one belief (or, rather, slogan) that defines American conservatism, it’s “limited government”—at least when it comes to things other than waging forever wars overseas. True to this tradition, President Trump didn’t really do much of anything when the Black Lives Matter protests started, despite repeated tweets about “Law and Order.”
In late May, President Trump said he would designate “Antifa as a Terrorist Organization” [Trump says he will designate Antifa a terrorist organization as GOP points fingers at extremists, by Allan Smith, NBC News, May 31, 2020]. This didn’t happen. Instead, far from being a “terrorist organization,” Antifa enjoy a remarkably privileged status, rioting and committing crimes with impunity in cities around the country:
In August 2019, two members of the Proud Boys were convicted of “attempted gang assault, attempted assault and riot” after brawling with Antifa while defending a Gavin McInnes speaking event—even though the supposed victims in this case refused all cooperation with police.
In June 2020, Antifa and other leftists set up an “autonomous zone” (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone/CHAZ) in Seattle and police meekly shuffled away, to the cheers of journalists [Seattle’s newly police-free neighborhood, explained, by Katelyn Burns, Vox, June 16, 2020]. After several victims (all black) were shot, including by supposed CHAZ “security,” the district was cleared out by fed-up police and sanitation workers [The End of Chaz, by Christopher Rufo, City Journal, July 1, 2020]. There has been no follow up that I’ve seen about the CHAZ security forces accused of shooting people. It seems black lives don’t Matter after all.
In August 2020, the county district attorney in Portland, OR dropped charges against virtually all demonstrators, including those accused of rioting or interfering with police officers [Portland protester’s charges dropped under new district attorney’s policy, by Megan Allison, KATU2, August 23, 2020]. Portland’s riots appear now to be an established feature of city life.
The main effect of the BLM movement has been to enrich a few academic and media mediocrities at the cost of getting a bunch of black people killed, along with at least two Trump supporters.
The indifference of local authorities, journalists, and the “community” is to be expected. However, there has been some activity on other fronts. In San Francisco, it’s now illegal to call the police if it is “racially motivated,” whatever that will be determined to mean. In Wisconsin, the same law enforcement that allowed riots to take place in Kenosha leapt to arrest Kyle Rittenhouse for doing the job they wouldn’t. Held without bail, he might as well be convicted already. Finally, the incoming Harris Administration (let’s be honest about it) is gearing up to introduce all sorts of new restrictions on the law-abiding, including imposing surveillance and legal restrictions on citizens who are responsible for “anti-immigrant manifestos” (like VDARE.com?) [Combating Violent Hate, KamalaHarris.org, Archived].
The usual endemic urban violence will be ignored or denied.
And this includes violence against patriots who have the temerity to show up in our increasingly Third World cities. When thousands of Trump supporters arrived in Washington DC to support the president this past weekend, they only enjoyed safety in the daylight. At night, the same Antifa groups we are told do not exist attacked people around the city. Even if they were women, children, or elderly, MAGA conservatives suddenly discovered there was no difference between them and Richard Spencer as far as their attackers were concerned [Antifa/BLM Terrorists Viciously Attack Women, Children, and the Elderly, by Debra Heine, American Greatness, November 14, 2020].
Denouncing political violence is not about agreeing with this person or that—it’s about protecting the rights and safety of all citizens. That line has been crossed. To pretend “the rule of law” still exists is stupidity at best. More likely, it’s deliberate disingenuousness.
ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills today when they tried attacking the people at the Trump Rally, because those people aggressively fought back. Antifa waited until tonight, when 99% were gone, to attack innocent #MAGA People. DC Police, get going — do your job and don’t hold back!!! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2020
President Trump blustered that “ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills,” but such chest beating looks frankly pathetic after four years. Every patriot and every white person in America now know that even if you defeat Antifa in the street, their media and legal allies will make sure no victory goes unpunished.
The Harris Administration (I’m questioning whether they’ll even let Sleepy Joe take the Oath of Office) will be far more willing to use state power than was our unbearably timid Commander-in-Chief. Some conservative pundits might grandstand on social media (if they are still permitted a platform) but it is clear they will do nothing effective to defend legacy Americans’ civil rights.
The sad part: President Trump still is the best Republican who exists on these issues—even if he just limits himself to talking or tweeting. We’ll want him back after he’s gone.
Whether you are Alt Right, Dissident Right, America First, MAGA, Republican, or just some hapless urban liberal wondering why people suddenly can smash your business or sucker-punch you, the lesson is clear. From Inauguration Day to Charlottesville to the Million MAGA March, the System has told you again and again that it will not protect you. It will not allow you to protect yourself.
You’re on our own. I tried to warn you.
Now, it’s going to get worse.
Charlottesville Survivor [Email him] is a white man who voted for Trump. The Left hates all white men who voted for Trump, whether they were in Charlottesville or not.

The Wayne County (Michigan) Board of Canvassers announced last night they were deadlocked on certifying its votes. This created an opportunity for the Republican-controlled state legislature to decide the election if Michigan’s most populous county lacked certified votes.
But the two Republicans who voted against certification abruptly flipped just a few hours after the initial vote. They didn’t entirely cave as they included a demand Michigan’s secretary of state conduct a “comprehensive tally” of questionable precinct results. But the two Republican board members ultimately gave liberals what they want: the certification of the votes [Wayne Co. canvassers certify election results after initial deadlock,, by Beth LeBlanc, Francis X. Donnelly and Craig Mauger, Detroit News. November 17, 2020].
Democrats achieved this through outright intimidation and harassment of the two Republican board members, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann. This included doxing their children and where they go to school.
Several commenters on the Board’s public zoom call directly threatened these Republicans.
“Just know when you try to sleep tonight, that millions of people around the world now on Twitter know the name Monica Palmer and William Hartmann as two people completely racist and without an understanding of what integrity means or a shred of human decency,” commenter Ned Staebler said. “The law’s not on your side.

This is the kind of behavior that is encouraged by our Leftist elites.

vdare--2020-11-18--Ann Coulter’s “October Surprise” Memories: Gee, Why Can’t Trump Accept Defeat Like the Democrats?

Earlier by Ann Coulter : The Democrats ’ Guide to Losing Gracefully In 1980 , Democratic President Jimmy Carter lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan , 489-49 in the Electoral College .
So naturally , Democrats concluded that Reagan had committed treason in order to steal the election , to wit : His campaign had conspired with Iranian ayatollahs to prevent 52 American hostages from being released until after the election .
And who can blame them ?
Carter ’ s economic policies had produced a 21 % interest rate , a 17 % mortgage rate and a 15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hat trick ” of presidential incompetence .
His brilliant strategic ploy of abandoning the Shah of Iran had led to a 154 % spike in oil prices and Islamic lunatics seizing our embassy and holding Americans hostage in Tehran , where they remained for 444 days , until Carter was safely removed from office .
With all that going for them—plus that old Mondale magic –Democrats were dumbstruck that they lost the 1980 election .
What other than a dirty trick could explain it ?
The Democrats ’ theory was that a month @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s campaign had clandestinely met with representatives of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Paris and offered to sell him weapons in exchange for a promise not to release the hostages , thus denying Carter a huge election eve triumph .
In other words , liberals believed the Islamo-fascist cutthroats who had been toying with Carter like a cat with a ball of yarn wanted Carter replaced by someone stronger , like Reagan .
How else to explain the fact that , minutes after Reagan ’ s inauguration , the hostages were released @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a Jeff MacNelly cartoon showing Khomeini reading a telegram aloud : “ It ’ s from Ronald Reagan .
It must be about one of the Americans in the Den of Spies , but I don ’ t recognize the name .
It says ‘ Remember Hiroshima.
’ ” The lunatics behind the “ October Surprise ” conspiracy theory might have spent their days in obscurity , talking to super-computers of the future—as one theorist claimed she did—except that , after a decade of periodic eruptions in in disreputable publications like The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ August 1987 ) , The Nation ( Christopher Hitchens , July 1987 ) , and Playboy magazine ( October 1988 ) , the Times began flogging the story in 1991 , beginning with a lengthy op-ed by Columbia University professor Gary Sick .
Sick had been President Carter ’ s principal aide on Iran during the hostage crisis , which would be like being FDR ’ s chief adviser on “ sneak attacks ” in December 1941 .
Columbia hired Sick as a professor , apparently unable to find Carter ’ s aide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , other news outlets such as PBS ’ s “ Frontline ” and ABC ’ s “ Nightline ” began treating crazies howling at the moon as if they were serious intel sources .
Carter himself called for a “ blue-ribbon ” commission to investigate , saying , “ it ’ s almost nauseating to think that this could be true.
” ( Which is ironic because that was my reaction , word for word , upon learning that Carter had been elected president . )
The theory that Reagan had arranged to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the election was originally hatched by Lyndon LaRouche , the second-most ridiculous person named “ Lyndon ” to ever run for president .
One of the key American “ witnesses ” to the conspiracy—and Hitchens ’ main source—was paranormal expert Barbara Honegger , who said she heard voices from the future and that satellites were directed to part the clouds during Reagan ’ s inauguration so that the sun would shine only on him .
Years later , Honegger promoted the theory that clocks stopped at the Pentagon at 9:32 a.m. on 9/11 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have hit at 9:37 .
So she was a credible source .
Another major player was fake CIA agent Richard Brenneke , who was about to be fired from his lucrative job with a left-wing think tank for failing to substantiate a different conspiracy theory : that Vice President Bush was running an Israeli-backed drugs-for-arms operation in Central America .
To stave off his firing , Brenneke suddenly remembered that not only had he heard of the October Surprise , he had been there !
A LaRouchite confirmed that he had seen Brenneke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ remembered until that very moment .
One by one , each of the Reagan campaign aides allegedly at the imaginary Paris meeting had their precise locations proved for nearly every minute of the crucial dates of Oct. 17-19 , when the sources claimed the secret meeting had taken place .
Then it turned out Brenneke wasn ’ t at the nonexistent meeting , either .
Signed credit card receipts proved he was at a Star Trek convention in Seattle on Oct. 17-19 .
Just kidding !
It was a martial-arts tournament .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ October surprise ” fable pushed by the major media and the Democratic Party for more than a decade after Reagan ’ s trouncing of Carter in 1980 .
Democratic-led congressional committees spent millions of dollars investigating the nutzo conspiracy theory , eventually concluding there was nothing to it , which I could have told them for say , $ 300,000 .
At the conclusion of the House ’ s investigation , Rep. Lee Hamilton , the House Democrat who had chaired the October Surprise Task Force , wrote an op-ed in The New @ @ @ @ @ @ @ task force report concluded there was virtually no credible evidence to support the accusations.
