A 7 point plan to fix our elections

Whether you are a Republican , a Democrat or an Independent , everyone should be able to agree that this election has exposed some very serious flaws in the way that we are currently doing things .
Over the past 24 hours , I have been posting example after example of voting irregularities on The Most Important News , and this is probably the number one topic on social media right now .
When this election is finally over , there are going to be tens of millions of voters that feel like this election has been stolen from them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the system .
As much as some of the talking heads on television would like to believe that everything will be okay if they simply ignore the irregularities that are happening , the truth is that the vast majority of Americans can clearly see what is taking place .
It has never been more obvious that our system is deeply broken and desperately in need of major reform .
For this election , problems with our elections will need to be resolved in court , and that is extremely unfortunate .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ourselves in the same situation four years from now , if there is actually an election four years from now .
So with that in mind , I would like to submit my humble plan to fix our elections… # 1 In order to register to vote , citizens must be required to show up in person and show identification proving that they are who they say they are to a duly appointed government official .
# 2 Citizens should be required to show up in person to vote to the greatest degree @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in person to vote , they must be required to show identification proving that they are who they say they are .
# 3 All political parties must be allowed to have numerous poll watchers in all polling locations .
# 4 Once you have voted , citizens should be given a receipt that shows that their votes were recorded and that shows exactly who they voted for .
# 5 All political parties must be allowed to have numerous observers in all locations where ballots are counted , and they must be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to clearly see what is happening .
# 6 All votes should be made public .
I know that many would mourn the loss of the “ secret ballot ” , but I believe the need for transparency should take priority .
Every vote from every citizen should be posted publicly , along with verification that each of those citizens was officially registered to vote .
# 7 For national elections , results for each state should only be made public once the counting is entirely completed .
I know that having @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at a time is a lot more dramatic , but it also opens up opportunities for malfeasance .
In the 2020 election , there have been allegations that some counties have delayed reporting their results until they could see how other areas have voted .
It is very important that we eliminate that .
As it stands , our elections are more broken than ever .
Ballot harvesting is rampant all over the country , lots of dead people are voting , in some areas the number of people that are voting greatly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and having tens of millions of ballots go through the mail has caused all sorts of problems .
Of course I don ’ t anticipate that the recommendations that I have made will ever be instituted .
In particular , Democrats would fight tooth and nail against many of my proposals , and that is because the flaws in the current system tend to benefit their party greatly .
But if we don ’ t fix our system , an increasing number of Americans will lose faith in it with each passing election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ matter of time until it completely collapses .
In addition to everything else , I believe that paper ballots should be required everywhere in the whole country .
I would like to see the U.S. go to a system of 100 percent paper ballots and 100 percent manual counting , but that will never happen either .
If we can ’ t have faith in the integrity of our elections , what options do we have left ?
We have reached such a critical time in our history , and our nation is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been in my entire lifetime .
I honestly do now know how the U.S. is ever going to recover from this chaotic election .
There is no way that any politician is going to be able to bring the country together when close to half the population believes that the election was stolen .
Whoever becomes president , nearly half the nation is not going to accept that individual as legitimate , and at this point the U.S. is getting dangerously close to being ungovernable .
As I have discussed previously , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be the greatest emotional blow in decades .
Everything has changed , and the days ahead are likely to be very dark for the United States of America .

#7 For national elections, results for each state should only be made public once the counting is entirely completed. I know that having the vote totals come in a little at a time is a lot more dramatic, but it also opens up opportunities for malfeasance. In the 2020 election, there have been allegations that some counties have delayed reporting their results until they could see how other areas have voted. It is very important that we eliminate that.
As it stands, our elections are more broken than ever. Ballot harvesting is rampant all over the country, lots of dead people are voting, in some areas the number of people that are voting greatly exceeds the number of registered voters, and having tens of millions of ballots go through the mail has caused all sorts of problems.
Of course I don’t anticipate that the recommendations that I have made will ever be instituted. In particular, Democrats would fight tooth and nail against many of my proposals, and that is because the flaws in the current system tend to benefit their party greatly.
But if we don’t fix our system, an increasing number of Americans will lose faith in it with each passing election, and it will be just a matter of time until it completely collapses.
In addition to everything else, I believe that paper ballots should be required everywhere in the whole country. I would like to see the U.S. go to a system of 100 percent paper ballots and 100 percent manual counting, but that will never happen either.
If we can’t have faith in the integrity of our elections, what options do we have left?
We have reached such a critical time in our history, and our nation is now more divided than it has ever been in my entire lifetime.
I honestly do now know how the U.S. is ever going to recover from this chaotic election. There is no way that any politician is going to be able to bring the country together when close to half the population believes that the election was stolen.
Whoever becomes president, nearly half the nation is not going to accept that individual as legitimate, and at this point the U.S. is getting dangerously close to being ungovernable.
As I have discussed previously, for the losing side this election is going to be the greatest emotional blow in decades. Everything has changed, and the days ahead are likely to be very dark for the United States of America.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-07--Trump Campaign: “The Election is Not Over.” Will Challenge “Phony” Claim Joe Biden Won

The liberal media has claimed that pro-abortion candidate Joe Biden has won the presidential election after further vote counts in Pennsylvania and Georgia have reportedly given him enough votes to win both states and secure a majority in the electoral college .
But the Trump campaign has issued a statement saying the election is not over .
“ This election is not over .
The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final , ” Matt Morgan , Trump 2020 campaign general counsel told LifeNews.com in a statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ declaration based on the recounts that will occur in multiple battleground states and the legal challenges that will take place as well based on allegations of fraud , counting of illegal ballots and blocking legal election observers from overseeing the process .
“ Georgia is headed for a recount , where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested , and where President Trump will ultimately prevail .
There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania , including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ challenge , but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law , ” he said .
“ In Nevada , there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots .

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-07--The US Is In Serious Trouble: Election Integrity May Be Irreparably Damaged

The U.S. is in very serious trouble .
The integrity of the U.S. election has been damaged , possibly irreparably .
There has been clear and obvious fraud .
And everyone who isn ’ t a partisan hack knows it .
Regardless of your political views , it is very clear that NONE of this looks appropriate .
In the last five days we ’ ve seen : • Multiple states find tens of thousands of votes that benefit Joe Biden to a degree that is statistically impossibly .
• Counties in which more people voted than were registered .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ridiculously low percentage of votes were counties ( Virginia 1 % , Arizona 7 % , etc. )
.
Regardless of whether you ’ re a Democrat or a Republican , you can not with a straight face say that this doesn ’ t look suspicious .
And that ’ s putting it mildly .
The bigger issue , outside of who actually wins the election , is the fact that the election system has been compromised .
That is a MAJOR problem for the Republic .
And the markets know it .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ rolling over and plunging : capital is reacting to the discovery that the U.S. is now closer to a banana republic than a legitimate first world nation .
That move doesn ’ t seem like a big deal , unless you understand the significance of the currency markets .
The financial media like to focus on stocks because they are an extremely volatile asset class .
This volatility makes stocks seem “ sexy ” because entire fortunes can be made… or lost… within a matter of weeks .
However , the reality is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smallest asset classes on the planet .
Globally , the stock market is around $ 80 trillion in size .
That sounds like a huge amount… until you realize that the bond market is more than THREE times this at $ 244 trillion .
And the currency markets dwarf even the bond markets !
While it ’ s impossible to know their full size ( every currency trade involves two currencies , so the net size is impossible to measure ) , we do know that the currency markets trade an astonishing $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this into perspective , the New York Stock Exchange – the single largest stock market in the world – typically trades just $ 200 billion in volume per day .
Put simply , the currency market , based on volume alone , is 33 times larger than the stock market .
The U.S. dollar ( $ USD ) is the reserve currency of the world .
And the $ USD , is the 800-lb gorilla in this market , accounting for over 90 % of all currency transactions .
It also accounts for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign exchange reserves , while nearly 40 % of all global debt is denominated in the $ USD .
Put simply , the $ USD is THE single most important asset in the entire global financial system , the currency of choice for global central banks and global corporations looking to issue debt .
And the $ USD is backed by the single largest economy in the world , representing ~25 of global GDP , along with the U.S. military which has a budget equal to that of China , India , Russia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , United Kingdom , Japan , South Korea , and Brazil – combined .
Put simply , whatever happens to the $ USD will have systemic implications for the world .
So , if the $ USD is breaking down because the U.S. Presidential election debacle is signaling that the largest economy in the world is becoming a banana republic , it is a VERY bad thing .
In this environment , everyone should have some exposure to gold .

On that note , we just published a Special Investment Report concerning FIVE secret investments you can use to make inflation pay you as it rips through the financial system in the months ahead .
The report is titled Survive the Inflationary Storm .
And it explains in very simply terms how to make inflation PAY YOU .
We are making just 100 copies available to the public .

The U.S. is in very serious trouble.
The integrity of the U.S. election has been damaged, possibly irreparably. There has been clear and obvious fraud. And everyone who isn’t a partisan hack knows it. Regardless of your political views, it is very clear that NONE of this looks appropriate.
In the last five days we’ve seen:
Multiple states stop counting votes on election night. Multiple states find tens of thousands of votes that benefit Joe Biden to a degree that is statistically impossibly. Clear examples of dead people voting. Counties in which more people voted than were registered. States called for Biden when a ridiculously low percentage of votes were counties (Virginia 1%, Arizona 7%, etc.).
Regardless of whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you cannot with a straight face say that this doesn’t look suspicious. And that’s putting it mildly.
The bigger issue, outside of who actually wins the election, is the fact that the election system has been compromised. That is a MAJOR problem for the Republic.
And the markets know it.
This is why the $USD is rolling over and plunging: capital is reacting to the discovery that the U.S. is now closer to a banana republic than a legitimate first world nation.
That move doesn’t seem like a big deal, unless you understand the significance of the currency markets.
The financial media like to focus on stocks because they are an extremely volatile asset class. This volatility makes stocks seem “sexy” because entire fortunes can be made… or lost… within a matter of weeks.
However, the reality is that stocks are actually one of the smallest asset classes on the planet.
Globally, the stock market is around $80 trillion in size.
That sounds like a huge amount… until you realize that the bond market is more than THREE times this at $244 trillion.
And the currency markets dwarf even the bond markets!
While it’s impossible to know their full size (every currency trade involves two currencies, so the net size is impossible to measure), we do know that the currency markets trade an astonishing $6.6 trillion per day.
To put this into perspective, the New York Stock Exchange – the single largest stock market in the world – typically trades just $200 billion in volume per day.

Put simply, the currency market, based on volume alone, is 33 times larger than the stock market. The U.S. dollar ($USD) is the reserve currency of the world. And the $USD, is the 800-lb gorilla in this market, accounting for over 90% of all currency transactions.
It also accounts for over 60% of all central bank foreign exchange reserves, while nearly 40% of all global debt is denominated in the $USD.
Put simply, the $USD is THE single most important asset in the entire global financial system, the currency of choice for global central banks and global corporations looking to issue debt.
And the $USD is backed by the single largest economy in the world, representing ~25 of global GDP, along with the U.S. military which has a budget equal to that of China, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil – combined.
Put simply, whatever happens to the $USD will have systemic implications for the world. So, if the $USD is breaking down because the U.S. Presidential election debacle is signaling that the largest economy in the world is becoming a banana republic, it is a VERY bad thing.
In this environment, everyone should have some exposure to gold. Indeed, it is not surprising that In this environment, everyone should have some exposure to gold. It is not coincidence that the precious metal is EXPLODING higher on this development.
On that note, we just published a Special Investment Report concerning FIVE secret investments you can use to make inflation pay you as it rips through the financial system in the months ahead.
The report is titled Survive the Inflationary Storm. And it explains in very simply terms how to make inflation PAY YOU.

Iron ore is up 3.87%, but my neighbors would be rather angry if I had 5 tons of iron ore dumped on my driveway.
Speaking of Bitcoin,
Thousands of bitcoins — worth $1 billion — were seized by law enforcement this week in what the Justice Department said was the largest seizure of cryptocurrency in the history of agency. The cryptocurrency is linked to sales of illicit drugs and goods on Silk Road, a dark web marketplace that shut down in 2013.

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-07--Is It Legit or Is It a Rumor? A County Clerk Answers Questions About the Election Process

by Daisy Luther of The Organic Prepper Do you have questions about all the rumors regarding the election ?
A county clerk was kind enough to answer these questions anonymously for this informative post .
This isn ’ t a random person I don ’ t know who is sending in disinformation .
It ’ s a person who I know is a county clerk that took the time to help us out with first-hand information instead of “ my brother ’ s wife ’ s uncle ’ s ex-mother-in-law ’ s friend ” who makes all sorts of wild @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes than registered voters ?
Obviously , there can ’ t .
However , the numbers can be misleading because some states allow voters to register on Election Day .
So , while a state might start the day with X number of registered voters , that number will increase by the end of the day in those states .
On top of that , there ’ s been at least one case of someone reporting the wrong number of registered voters at the get go , information that , of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ corrected .
How many ballots are allowed for each municipality ?
Simply put , as many as they request from the election commission .
In some states , voters are allowed up to three ATTEMPTS to vote .
Meaning , if they make a mistake on the first ballot , that one is voided and they are given a second one .
If they screw that one up , it is voided and they ’ re given one more .
If that one gets messed up , well , three strikes and you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in states that allow for registration on Election Day , the municipality needs to have ballots on hand for them as well .
What about this whole Sharpie-gate thing ?
Yeah , that ’ s a bunch of malarky .
Many districts have been using Sharpies for years without issue .
When you run your ballot through the machine , it IMMEDIATELY registers whether the ballot is okay or not .
If there are any issues , such as the machine can ’ t read the ink you ’ ve used , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will be kicked back .
I ’ m hearing that some registered voters aren ’ t showing their vote recorded ?
Here ’ s what happens .
If you voted in person , you should have signed a log when you were given your ballot .
All mailed ballots are also recorded in this log .
This log is called the Poll Book .
When the election is over , the Pool Book is submitted to the state ’ s election commission , typically electronically .
The clerk ’ s office goes through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by voter , and verifies a signature is present ( or in the case of a mailed ballot , that there is a record of the ballot having been mailed out and received ) .
This information entered into the state ’ s database .
As you can imagine , this takes a while as it is a tedious and laborious process .
In most districts , it takes more than a day or two .
So , in the meantime , voters might not see their information updated online .
Why is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know , we Americans are used to instant results with most things and having to wait , especially for something this important , drives us nuts .
Here ’ s how this works .
Voters have basically three options for how to cast their votes , depending on their state : 2 ) Vote early in person .
In some states , you can go to the clerk ’ s office the week or so before Election Day and cast your vote .
This ballot is sealed and kept in a secure location @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballot requested in advance .
The time frames may vary from state to state , but you can request a ballot be sent to your home .
You fill it out at your leisure , in the presence of a witness .
You sign it , your witness signs it , and you can either mail it back or drop it off in person .
The sealed ballots are kept in a secure location until Election Day .
With me so far ?
Now , all day long on Election Day , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person .
From open to close , many areas had lines out the door , down the hall , and on the sidewalk .
Once the polls close and those lines go away , the clerks and poll workers can start processing the mailed ballots and early votes .
They are taken out from storage , opened , and fed into the voting machines .
They must be opened carefully so they aren ’ t damaged .
This whole process takes time .
Given that this election probably saw more mailed in and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US history , it might be a bit before they are all processed .
Why are so many of these mailed ballots for Biden ?
This actually makes sense , when you think about it .
President Trump was rather adamant about people not voting early or mailing in their ballots .
So , the majority of people who voted for him likely did so in person .
What ’ s the difference between an absentee ballot and a mail-in ballot ?
Not a thing .
The terms mean the exact same thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people were receiving in the mail ?
Experience has shown that what people thought was a ballot in their mailbox was actually a solicitation or advertisement suggesting they request an absentee ballot .
But , because it has the word BALLOT on it , people assumed that ’ s what it was .
Thank you to our friendly , anonymous clerk for taking the time to clear this up .
This is not to say that the election process has been seamless or that nothing sketchy has happened .
But let ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really being done incorrectly , not on things that are simply misunderstood .

How can there be more votes than registered voters?
Obviously, there can’t. However, the numbers can be misleading because some states allow voters to register on Election Day. So, while a state might start the day with X number of registered voters, that number will increase by the end of the day in those states. On top of that, there’s been at least one case of someone reporting the wrong number of registered voters at the get go, information that, of course, spread like wildfire before it could be corrected.
How many ballots are allowed for each municipality?
Simply put, as many as they request from the election commission. In some states, voters are allowed up to three ATTEMPTS to vote. Meaning, if they make a mistake on the first ballot, that one is voided and they are given a second one. If they screw that one up, it is voided and they’re given one more. If that one gets messed up, well, three strikes and you’re out. In addition, in states that allow for registration on Election Day, the municipality needs to have ballots on hand for them as well.

Yeah, that’s a bunch of malarky. Many districts have been using Sharpies for years without issue.

So, in the meantime, voters might not see their information updated online.
Why is the counting taking so long?
I know, we Americans are used to instant results with most things and having to wait, especially for something this important, drives us nuts. Here’s how this works. Voters have basically three options for how to cast their votes, depending on their state:
1) Vote in person on Election Day.

Now, all day long on Election Day, the polls are busy with people voting in person. From open to close, many areas had lines out the door, down the hall, and on the sidewalk. Once the polls close and those lines go away, the clerks and poll workers can start processing the mailed ballots and early votes. They are taken out from storage, opened, and fed into the voting machines. They must be opened carefully so they aren’t damaged. This whole process takes time.

Hey, there, Daisy again.
This is not to say that the election process has been seamless or that nothing sketchy has happened. But let’s focus our energy on things that are really being done incorrectly, not on things that are simply misunderstood.
I want to think the county clerk who answered these questions for us. What with the crazy political situation going on in the United States, I’m sure you can understand the person’s need for anonymity.
I hope you found this post informative!

investmentwatchblog--2020-11-06--We KNEW it! Dems trying to steal the election from Trump, flood voting districts in battleground sta

We KNEW it! Dems trying to steal the election from Trump, flood voting districts in battleground states with ballots overnight

( Natural News ) We warned readers weeks ago that the Democrat Party machine , not at all confident that a brain-addled senior citizen and an unlikeable U.S. senator could beat the Trump Train and the GOP , would try to steal the 2020 elections .
And that is precisely what ’ s going on .
As tens of millions of Americans went to bed Tuesday night , many believed that , while several states had yet to be called for President Donald Trump , he was well ahead of Democratic rival Joe Biden and his running mate , Kamala @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Wednesday , they were shocked to discover that , overnight while the nation slept , hundreds of thousands of ballots were suddenly ‘ found ’ somewhere and delivered to urban centers in key battleground states ( no doubt to make them appear legitimate ) .
And guess who most of them broke for ?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris .
Say it isn ’ t so .
In Pennsylvania Trump was ahead by nearly 700,000 votes .
In Michigan Trump was ahead by over 300,000 votes .
In Wisconsin Trump was ahead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of Wednesday , Wisconsin and Michigan , both states the president won ( though not by much ) in 2016 were in the Biden/Harris “ win ” column .
( Related : Trump WINS election ; Democrats now working overtime to STEAL it by fabricating hundreds of thousands of votes in Michigan and Wisconsin . )
How ’ d that happen ?
In 2016 , Trump won those states without a record ; he came back to them and campaigned hard in 2020 with a successful economic , domestic , foreign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he lost ?
How does that happen ?
During a press conference in Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon , Giuliani announced that the Trump campaign had filed suit in Michigan and had demanded a recount in Wisconsin to determine how ballots can show up in the middle of the night while GOP/Trump poll watchers are denied their right to observe those ballots being counted .
“ Voter fraud is one of the biggest problems [ in this election ] , ” Giuliani said .
“ But we ’ re not going to let them get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not going to steal this election !
” “ We are going to continue the lawsuit here .
We ’ re going to bring a second one .
And then we ’ re going to bring a federal lawsuit , ” he continued .
“ And we ’ re going to take a good look at whether we bring this nationally .

(Natural News) We warned readers weeks ago that the Democrat Party machine, not at all confident that a brain-addled senior citizen and an unlikeable U.S. senator could beat the Trump Train and the GOP, would try to steal the 2020 elections.
And that is precisely what’s going on.
As tens of millions of Americans went to bed Tuesday night, many believed that, while several states had yet to be called for President Donald Trump, he was well ahead of Democratic rival Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris.
But when they woke up on Wednesday, they were shocked to discover that, overnight while the nation slept, hundreds of thousands of ballots were suddenly ‘found’ somewhere and delivered to urban centers in key battleground states (no doubt to make them appear legitimate).
And guess who most of them broke for?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Say it isn’t so.
As TGP reported:
In Pennsylvania Trump was ahead by nearly 700,000 votes.
In Michigan Trump was ahead by over 300,000 votes.
In Wisconsin Trump was ahead by 120,000 votes.
However, by the end of Wednesday, Wisconsin and Michigan, both states the president won (though not by much) in 2016 were in the Biden/Harris “win” column. (Related: Trump WINS election; Democrats now working overtime to STEAL it by fabricating hundreds of thousands of votes in Michigan and Wisconsin.)
How’d that happen? In 2016, Trump won those states without a record; he came back to them and campaigned hard in 2020 with a successful economic, domestic, foreign policy, jobs, and trade record…and he lost?
How does that happen?
Presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani knows: Vote fraud.
During a press conference in Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon, Giuliani announced that the Trump campaign had filed suit in Michigan and had demanded a recount in Wisconsin to determine how ballots can show up in the middle of the night while GOP/Trump poll watchers are denied their right to observe those ballots being counted.

“Voter fraud is one of the biggest problems [in this election],” Giuliani said. “But we’re not going to let them get away with it. They’re not going to steal this election!”
“We are going to continue the lawsuit here. We’re going to bring a second one. And then we’re going to bring a federal lawsuit,” he continued. “And we’re going to take a good look at whether we bring this nationally. We’re certainly going to bring it here (in Pennsylvania) and to Wisconsin. Quite possibly, we’ll do a national lawsuit and we’ll really expose the corruption of the Democrat Party.”
He noted further: “This is a concerted effort of the crooks who run the Democratic Party. You know these big-city machines are crooked…20 years, 30 years, 50 years, 100 years of one-party rule leads to corruption of all kinds.”
“This is beyond anything I’ve ever seen before! This comes when you think you have so much power and you own the media, that you can do anything you want,” he added.
So much for Democrats and ‘democracy.’ The party really should change its name to something more appropriate for the kind of cheating, lying, dishonest entity it has become — something like the “Communist Party.”
If anyone has a problem with allowing Americans to choose their own leaders, it’s certainly that party. Otherwise, why else would party operatives be trying so hard to deny voters their choice?
What’s really amazing is that leftists are taking to social media to claim it’s Trump who’s trying to ‘steal the election’ (and doesn’t that sound familiar?). They’ll continue to believe it, too, because our garbage media is completely in the tank for Democrats to the point where they’re really just Democrat Party propagandists. Josef Stalin and Fidel Castro would have been so very proud.
Meantime, the Trump campaign is fighting legal battles to ensure that his tens of millions of voters aren’t disenfranchised.
Because he’s a fighter.

Now that Joe Biden has apparently been elected Grand Sachem of Tammany Hall, we can focus our attention on the economy.
It is the October jobs report and we see that the unemployment rate has fallen to 6.9% and labor force participation has risen to 61.7%.

Of course, with large economies like California and Illinois still on lockdown, the US economy is improving but still not back to pre-Covid lockdown levels.
We are almost at the point where Speaker Pelosi can present a stimulus bill (subject to approval by the Republican-held Senate). Hopefully without all the ridiculous add-ons, now that the election is over. Nah, there is always another election.


investmentwatchblog--2020-11-06--Boo hoo. The Moonbats Stole Our Election. Now What?

I had lunch with two friends the week before the November 3 , 2020 U.S. Presidential Election .
One of the men is an unconfessed Socialist and the other is a Republican in Name Only ( RINO ) .
During our discussion , the RINO told the Socialist he was voting for Trump .
Honestly , I was very surprised because I ’ m quite sure he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 .
So , afterward , I privately asked the RINO if he had seen Tucker Carlson ’ s interview of Tony Bobulinski .
Perhaps unsurprisingly , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pulp journalism ” and that he only deals with the “ facts and hard reporting ” as found on the digital pages of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal .
Of course , a sh*tfest ensued .
In summary , the RINO would not hear anything about Bobulinski ’ s response to Joe Biden ’ s ( second presidential debate ) claims of “ Russian disinformation ” , he believed Biden would ( deservedly ) win in a landslide , that Trump has f*cked up America ’ s Covid response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] was actually voting for Biden .
It turned out he was joking inside the restaurant when he said he was voting for Trump .
During our discourse , the RINO cited mainstream media polls as proof Biden would win in a landslide .
When I told him the fundamentals were favoring Trump more in 2020 than they were four years ago , he was surprised by that claim and asked me to explain .
In turn , I mentioned Biden as the second-worst presidential candidate in history ; the undeniable swamp-creature revelations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ believed the election would serve as a referendum on the Covid Lockdowns® .
At that , the RINO scornfully asked me to name Trump ’ s Covid policy .
I replied : “ Focused Protection ” as opposed to Biden ’ s proposed lockdown and mandates .
At that statement , the RINO seemed stunned and had no response .
When I asked the RINO if he would consider his complete surprise in the wake of a Trump win as veritable proof of his insular obtuseness , he told me he would move @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told him I thought Trump would emerge victorious unless the Democrat-run cities in swing states were able to steal the election .
The RINO seemed aghast that I would even suggest that outcome before deridingly claiming Biden would receive no less than 400 Electoral College votes .
So here we are today : Moonbats in Democrat-run cities in swing states are stealing the election under the cover of Covid® .
On March 4 , 2020 I posted the following in an article : What about the timing of the first recorded COVID-19® death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was one day before the Iowa Caucuses were held ( 2-3-2020 ) where the results were massaged to raise Mayor Pete over Bernie and bump Biden to the bare minimum viability .
It was also two days before the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Japan … .
and three days before Trump was acquitted in the Senate .
Certainly , it would be a stretch to believe the hype behind a “ new ” global virus would be geared to somehow affect the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election… but in the age @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian Impeachment – would anything surprise me ?
….And , now , it ’ s been reported Coronavirus® “ threatens to disrupt ” the 2020 Campaign .
And , now , there can be no doubt regarding the Covid Effect® within the 2020 Presidential Election .
All that remains at this time is the Democrats and the mainstream media squirming between pitbull Trump ’ s political rock and a legal hard place .
Accordingly , I wrote the following in the commentary of another article on Wednesday ( 11/4/2020 ) , the day @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end of yesterday ’ s tallies , Trump positioned himself as follows : “ I was winning and then the counting stopped ” .
That ’ s Trump ’ s push going forward in the courts and it ’ s all a matter of record now .
– More votes in Wisconsin than registered voters .
– Spikes in Michigan after the polls closed – Pennsylvania poll watchers seeing vehicles bringing in boxes of ballots – Massive f*ckery occurring elsewhere in the states the mainstream media has refused to call for Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hypocritically calling other states early for Biden Anyway , whether Trump is real , or it ’ s all for The Show , you can be absolutely positively assured of the following : Trump will fight until the bitter end in spite of any mainstream media narratives – even if public ( and Republican ) support wains at some point .
In other words , he won ’ t concede .
Ever .
Not now , given what I ’ ve outlined above .
He will continue to do the Dems like did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ain ’ t his first rodeo and he ’ ll have the full support of his family and those who weren ’ t fooled by the MSM and still voted for him .
Think about that for a moment .
That ’ s quite a constituency , ya know ?
Besides , did he lose Russiagate or Ukrainian Impeachment ?
That ’ s all I ’ m sayin ’ .
This episode will continue for a while .
The guy doesn ’ t back down .
And , as they say , past @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moonbats are attempting to steal the election .
And if they win , they will use their illegally-obtained power to force disenfranchised Americans into accepting presidential executive orders of Democratic Party social justice mandates .
That ’ s tyranny , folks .
Pure and simple .
Either Trump prevails in the courts or the Moonbats will soon learn what “ not my president ” actually means .
Is that what we are witnessing today in America and around the globe ?
Because just as the goal of Socialism is Communism… , the goal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slavery – and it ’ s not hard to see where current trends are leading .
Either U.S. elections are NOT rigged by the elite OR they ARE rigged to ensure a win for their chosen presidential candidate ( s ) .
In the event of the former , a large percentage of U.S. citizens elect the leaders they deserve .
In the event of the latter , American politics becomes a matter of which 2020 candidates will best facilitate “ The Great Reset ” on behalf of the elite .
Can Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , instead , onboard ?
Either way , it has become obvious the Elites demand the appearance of our permission and the 2020 Presidential Election viewed as a referendum on Covid Lockdowns® , the Vaccination Offensive® , and Great Reset® as the only assured outcomes .
As a slight digression , and to illustrate a point , please consider the following : In chapters one and two of the Bible ’ s Old Testament Book of Job , the devil is shown to have needed God ’ s permission prior to mercilessly tormenting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the New Testament ’ s Book of Luke , in chapter 22 , Jesus told the apostles that Satan had asked to “ sift all of them as wheat ” .
And in other chapters throughout The Good Book , the readers are admonished to be watchful and resist the devil in all of its schemes .
So , that , in turn , brings to mind a question : If the devil requires God ’ s permission before raising hell on earth , does he need our acquiescence as well ?
Perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but , for the rest of us , history has shown the fate of entire civilizations as rising and falling upon the fulcrum of free will .
You know , the old “ choose this day whom you will serve ” close .
Or , rather , as stated in other books of the Bible , those who align themselves with The Divine Lawgiver ( or “ righteous principles ” , if you prefer ) will be blessed and those who transgress will be judged .
Of course , whether or not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or figuratively , is their choice .
At a minimum can we at least agree humans have free will ?
( see what I did there ? )
Good .
Now let ’ s move forward another way : Occam ’ s Razor , also known as the Law of Economy , is a principle that prioritizes simplicity in the consideration of theories .
In other words , when presented with two competing explanations , the simplest speculation ( s ) should be preferred .
Correspondingly , a continuation of Occam ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Razor and may actually be applied to human behavior as follows : Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity .
Therefore , it could be argued that Hanlon ’ s Razor adequately demonstrates how the Road to Hell is paved with good intentions .
After all , ignorance makes for a great excuse and what are good intentions if not an absence of malice ?
It means sh*t happens as a result of wrong premises founded upon bad information , incorrect premises in general , and errant conclusions .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ or bad information what should be said about those who engage in illicit action while knowing it ’ s wrong ?
What about those who knowingly deceive ignorant people for selfish reasons ?
What about them ?
Obviously , all throughout history , there have been bad actors and today it is no different .
This is why during any considerations of Occam ’ s and Hanlon ’ s Razor an exception must be made for evil as it manifests through diabolical narcissism .
Sadly , very intelligent and awakened people refuse to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the purposes of this article , is demonstrated when certain people intentionally deceive and harm others for self-serving reasons .
Admittedly , many earnest folks find the darker side of human nature difficult to entertain , let alone understand ; so it is , therefore , unsurprising that good people refuse to recognize the evil intentions of those actively planning their demise .
An example of this sort of blindness is realized as intelligent conservatives like Rush Limbaugh or Victor Davis Hanson reflect upon the stupidity and incompetence of establishment players ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aim small and miss small .
Think about it .
How else could the Governor of New York write a book about the “ leadership ” he demonstrated during the Covid Pandemic® ?
The answer to that question is , of course , as follows : Most people believe New York suffered the most Covid deaths in America due to population density , and not because Governor Cuomo packed nursing homes with the infected elderly and used ventilators to blow out the lungs of isolated patients upon decrees made by actors within the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Control .
So are mid-level swamp creatures merely ignorant ?
Or does their apparent incompetence provide plausible deniability for the real agenda , which is to advance Covid® narratives meant to simultaneously lockdown the globe , collapse the world ’ s economic “ Everything Bubble ” , and undermine elections in the United States .
Now ask yourself why steps were not taken to secure a fair vote in the 2020 U.S. Election .
Evidently it was too difficult to ensure election integrity while maintaining Social Distancing® mandates .
After all , how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ six-feet away ?
So , ultimately , it appears the old axiom may have been proven as true : The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn ’ t exist .
The moonbats never heard of Davos Man ; because the middle managers preferred it that way .
In the end , however , no matter who is installed as president , let the honest and aware citizens remain focused on fundamentals such as constitutional law , life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dialectics .
And , finally , the conceptual construct of societal “ Fourth Turnings ” catalogs specific , and predictable , civilizational cycles as seasons .
The grand inevitability of such historical and generational transitions can only be accepted with a certain amount of humility .
We can ’ t stop winter ’ s approach .
All we can do is gather our gear , shore up our allegorical shelters , and choose .
Once again : What we do next , at any given time , is all that matters .

I told him I thought Trump would emerge victorious unless the Democrat-run cities in swing states were able to steal the election. The RINO seemed aghast that I would even suggest that outcome before deridingly claiming Biden would receive no less than 400 Electoral College votes.
So here we are today: Moonbats in Democrat-run cities in swing states are stealing the election under the cover of Covid®.
On March 4, 2020 I posted the following in an article:
What about the timing of the first recorded COVID-19® death that occurred outside of China? It was one day before the Iowa Caucuses were held (2-3-2020) where the results were massaged to raise Mayor Pete over Bernie and bump Biden to the bare minimum viability. It was also two days before the Diamond Princess cruise ship was quarantined in Japan …. and three days before Trump was acquitted in the Senate. Certainly, it would be a stretch to believe the hype behind a “new” global virus would be geared to somehow affect the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election… but in the age of 911, Russiagate, and Operation Ukrainian Impeachment – would anything surprise me? Nope. Probably not. ….And, now, it’s been reported Coronavirus® “threatens to disrupt” the 2020 Campaign.
And, now, there can be no doubt regarding the Covid Effect® within the 2020 Presidential Election.
All that remains at this time is the Democrats and the mainstream media squirming between pitbull Trump’s political rock and a legal hard place. Accordingly, I wrote the following in the commentary of another article on Wednesday (11/4/2020), the day after the 2020 Presidential Election:
At the end of yesterday’s tallies, Trump positioned himself as follows: “I was winning and then the counting stopped”. That’s Trump’s push going forward in the courts and it’s all a matter of record now. – More votes in Wisconsin than registered voters. – Spikes in Michigan after the polls closed – Pennsylvania poll watchers seeing vehicles bringing in boxes of ballots – Massive f*ckery occurring elsewhere in the states the mainstream media has refused to call for Trump, etc, – in spite of hypocritically calling other states early for Biden Anyway, whether Trump is real, or it’s all for The Show, you can be absolutely positively assured of the following: Trump will fight until the bitter end in spite of any mainstream media narratives – even if public (and Republican) support wains at some point.

And, as they say, past is prologue.
and
Look at it this way also: once the f*uckery has been established, which is occurring now, then it becomes a battle of wills – the New York Don vs Biden’s handlers. And though this episode is unique, the premise remains the same: outside crusader fighting entrenched swamp creatures. Furthermore, even if it’s all made-for-TV, either naturally occurring or by an Orwellian-esque grand illusion, the end result remains the same: Divided we fall. Right on schedule. Just like clockwork. Humpty Dumpty ain’t going back together again. Not this time.
Indeed. The scumbag moonbats are attempting to steal the election. And if they win, they will use their illegally-obtained power to force disenfranchised Americans into accepting presidential executive orders of Democratic Party social justice mandates. That’s tyranny, folks. Pure and simple.
Either Trump prevails in the courts or the Moonbats will soon learn what “not my president” actually means.
Ordo Ab Chao = order out of chaos
Is that what we are witnessing today in America and around the globe? Because just as the goal of Socialism is Communism…, the goal of Covid® is mandatory vaccination and economic slavery – and it’s not hard to see where current trends are leading.
Either U.S. elections are NOT rigged by the elite OR they ARE rigged to ensure a win for their chosen presidential candidate(s). In the event of the former, a large percentage of U.S. citizens elect the leaders they deserve. In the event of the latter, American politics becomes a matter of which 2020 candidates will best facilitate “The Great Reset” on behalf of the elite.
Can Trump stop that train? Or is he, instead, onboard?
