California, the great "tech capital" cannot process a simple election in under a week, a month, two months.....?

Ben R's avatar

It takes time to count ballots till the desired outcome is reached.

A Democrat wins despite all other costs.

John Schrauth's avatar

I see once again these ridiculous daily "ballot drops" where the media wait for some supernumerary to come out and announce "we have 24,000 ballots counted today" or "we have discovered some ballot boxes that were misplaced," usually two or three weeks/months after the election) and every vote was for the Democrat.

Last night's drop of 24,000 mail-in fraud papers had ZERO votes for Pratt and Raman is supposedly catching up by leaps and bounds. Benny Johnson has a clip out showing him at a port-a-potty 26 "voters" are using as the address for their mail-in ballots. Judicial Watch has filed a suit demanding California delete 872,000 phony registrations. Were I Trump, I would be sending in the US Marshals and seize everything and put all the election officials "under the lights." Since we are all about transparency I would live stream the whole thing.

I feel it is more serious than US Marshalls. These states are in a state of Communist insurrection and voter fraud underpins Communism. But it is beyond voter fraud. The Democrat Party is now a Gay/Race Communist Crime Syndicate. Utterly hell bent on revolution.

The whole scene is a warning of the decline of the US economy and a deepening of the separation of the haves and have nots, the income divide , in the country. The psychology of the country is changing from work ethic, entrepenuerism, individuality to a you owe me, centralized, gimme welfare state. The Dems left the working class behind when they figured out that the accumulation of gimme classes was going to give them more votes than unions.

What is anyone doing about the de-humanization of the US, heck, global economies? Nothing! Trump has been trying to bring manufacturing back, deals, tariffs, but now we have the dawn of AI which is going to destroy the last bastion of “good” jobs, the white collar post-university job market. The prophets have put out their doomsday forecasts about AI with very little response. We have warnings about what the “tooling up” of AI systems is going to do to our resources, yet no response. Why, because the Joe Average voter has nary a clue about what is happening. All he sees is the erosion of economic power he has and thinks that voting for Democrats is going to fix everything. He cannot face up to the battle that IS coming because he does not understand what is coming.

To JHK, I believe that the surprise to your 2005 TLE forecasts that fracking made, will be offset by AI water and FF requirements and will put us back on the 2100 forecasts of depletion you have warned about. The difference is that the middle class will be decimated and Brave New World will be imminent. Will Captain Picard be right and will money and wealth no longer be utilized?

Ben R's avatar

100% accurate assessment.

Be sure to fill in the Jorge Fernandez types of the world.

They seem to think there is zero difference between the Democrat crazies and the Republicans.

JohnAZ's avatar

Unanimity is a clear sign of corruption, so much so that the crooks wait until the very end to “count” the votes that locks in urban elections. The only reason Trump won in 24 is that the margins were too big to hide with bogus votes without giving themselves away. Here, though, we are talking about California, the ultimate Dem machine. You can bet that in the 40% of votes that are uncounted, the machine is figuring out how to make enough votes to get both GOP guys out of the November race.

A give away for me was the 100% unanimity displayed by the Deep State judiciary when reviewing the investigations of 2020. In a free society, there is never, never 100% of anything, not one single objection. The Dems screwed up by making it 100%.

UncleBob9's avatar

California is still using the Demicrat model of decades ago. El BJ lost a primary race when late votes allowed his opponent to overcome a lead and win. A few years later, El BJ pulled the same stunt in a Senate primsry and eon by a small margin, something lime 100 votes. Texas being a Democrat state at the time, einni g the orimary meant he was going to the Senate. Anyway, that close margin is why he was nicknamed "Landslide Lyndon." Later, he began showing his genitals to the press to show them how well-endowed he was, and supposedly plugged damn near as many women as Wilt Chamberlain -- in the thousands. And here, you thought Middle America was always moral....

But Gavin signed a law making it a felony to do anything without court orders.

The use of "cannot" seems inaccurate, since events would require the use of "will not" in its place. Or so it appears to me.

It already did, but they used cars, trucks, and airplanes.

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

JHK's insistence that "DEM bad, REP good" is well past its expiration date and has, as a result, developed a strong, repugnant odor.

I've tried many times, all without success, to educate Mr. JHK on the fact that DEM and REP are *equally* bad, in that they are both puppet assets of the Globalist Cabal - working for 'them', not for us. 100 years ago that certainly wasn't the case. Today it's a fact that only myopic people cannot see.

So I admit defeat. Could anyone else give it a try with Mr. JHK? Perhaps you'll succeed where I failed.

Ben R's avatar

Arrogance squared exposed.

Ben R's avatar

Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed were in full swing, so the 100-year-old statement is completely erroneous.

Feel free to read up on it and get back to us with a new assessment of when things were actually right.

I suspect once you do some actual digging, you will find there is nothing new under the sun, and self-serving politicians have been around just as long as the world's oldest profession.

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

The sole reason why you're totally wrong is that 100 years ago the Globalist Central Bank Cabal did not yet exist. Try reading my comment *without* rabid bias.

Ben R's avatar

The creature from Jekyll Island....derp derp derp.

Again, you unmask yourself as ignorant.

Globalism and all its trappings is well over 100 years old.

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

[sigh ...] You're not listening. The *CONCEPT* of Globalism -- a system that owns and controls the entire planet -- goes back to the scriptural Nimrod, if not earlier.

But the Globalist Central Bank Cabal - the one that I'm speaking about - is less than 100 years old (formally established probably sometime after WW2).

You may believe as you wish. Feel free to have the final word - I'm done here.

The federal reserve was established in 1913 by an act passed on Christmas eve when most were away and a secret meeting on Jekyll Island. See G E Griffins book based on Eustace Mullins original research.

I'm of the opinion that the "Puppet Masters" running the show with their connections and Uber-Wealth have been busy making the masses dance for close to 5,000 years now. The big changes over the last century or so have been related to mass media (radio, TV and the Internet) for delivering the narratives, a sharp rise in the standard of living for the middle class due to tech and cheap energy, followed by the contraction of the economies of Western Civilization due to resource depletion and the failing of the American Empire.

Their gang hasn't evolved quickly enough to stay hidden in the shadows as their presence became obvious with the takeover of mainstream news and which drove many researchers to leverage the Internet for alternative sourcing. Now the race is on to roll out digital IDs and currencies for extreme control of individuals, use the military machines for extreme control of natural resources, and be ready to throw the switch to turn off the Internet and cell phones to maintain extreme control through the coming collapse. And, as a side note, control-cubed will allow population reductions.

It's difficult to keep up with it all, or come up with a meaningful plan to isolate yourself from the chaos. I have little faith justice will be served for those guilty of election fraud or psyops dealing with "insurrection". They will turn into distractions like the Epstein files.

Decline is continuing, and the fallout from the Adventure in Iran is just beginning. Nobody knows exactly how it plays over the next few years, but markets and economies are unstable, supply chains are breaking, "elections" don't seem to offer any serious candidates, inflation and deflation are more volatile, the masses are at each others' throats and we're well past the top of the roller coaster. Hang on!

There is a choice now? It's called MAGA! BOOM!

Jorge Fernandez's avatar

Surely you jest! One of the largest criminal enterprises today in the USA is Trump & Co.

JohnAZ's avatar

They are nothing compared to the Deep State. You continue to divide things with the old Dem. Vs. GOP paradigm when today’s US is Populist (MAGA, Tea Party) versus government (Deep State) division. Yesterday’s vote in the Senate on SAVE is the perfect demonstration, four RINOs voted against election credibility, Take a guess: Collins, Murkowsky, Tillis and McConnell.

The real divide is between individual thinkers and the centralists with control of DC in the hands of the centralists.

You are 100% wrong about Trump’s desires as opposed to the control that the Deep State has over him. The real decline of the US is due to a worsening economy and desperation by a population to find a fix by a central government and being too dumb to realize that it is that government that is the cause and not the solution.

The Deep State is in control right now thanks to RINOs.

Len Penzo's avatar

Are the DEMS and RINOs both globalists? Yes. Are they equally bad? Absolutely not.

If the only choice on my ballot is for a globalist stooge (D or RINO), then I will pick the team that openly declares there is only two genders, believes in personal responsibility and self-reliance and, despite the enormous obstacles, tries to stop illegal immigration, eliminate DEI, expose government fraud and waste, and keep drag time story hour away from my kids.

Many of whom refuse to work and get free medical, while the rest of us pay through the nose for substandard medical insurance.

Thanks to Obamacare, everyone's standard for health care has plummeted, so some don't have to pay for it.

rd3's avatar

American health care was destroyed intentionally. The results speak for themselves. The WWII generation lived into their 80's/90's, the Boomers are dying in their 70's, and most Gen X won't make it out of their 60's. 10% of the kids I went to HS with are dead already and I graduated HS in the mid-90's. Drugs and suicide.

A lot of the premature deaths we're seeing now are related to the Covid jabs. There are books about it, new reports coming out all the time, and I have seen it with my own eyes.

The Deep State wants socialism, including some form of NHS for medicine. The Covid situation showed the disaster that government, ie political, control of medicine can cause.

The honest media is under attack by this administration. I'm still waiting for proof that the 2020 election wasn't fair. I would agree with needing sound financial policies.

Regarding fairness and right & wrong...aren't you concerned about the injustice happening when the Administration is blocking the full release of the Epstein files? I mean...didn't Trump run on releasing them?

Ben R's avatar

Millions of pages released, where have you been, TDS boy?

Jeff the Original's avatar

3 million of 6 million. If there was a coverup...I'm guessing they would release the documents that don't implicate important people but retain those that did.

You see? That's where your guys' arguments always fail...in consistency and equal application against both parties.

You'll claim in a heartbeat that 2020 was stolen without any evidence but because it's Trump...you'll take a 50% turnover as a 100% turnover with the Epstein files.

You congregate here because this is where no one will question your bad logic...except a few of us....fighting for the actual truth.

If you're visiting this site and thinking y'all have the inside scoop...yah...I'm not surprised you find that humorous.

So...on an article that openly alludes to the 2020 election as having been stolen and that 1/6 was actually a Dem plot...you are accosting me about "honest media".

This is our country dude....and we need voters that follow the facts not the conspiracy theories.

This is like the National Enquirer back in the day. Any Elvis sightings lately?

JohnAZ's avatar

YOU are a victim of the media conspiracy. Ever wonder why the Democrat (actually Lefty-Left) taglines are displayed by every single news outlet, including Fox, at the same time saying exactly the same thing.

The control of the American press is the biggest propaganda machine in history. Remember PRAVDA? The national News agencies, like Gannett are exactly the same.

I understand your TDS mentality just automatically signs up the the bullshit that is put out daily.

Jeff the Original's avatar

Apparently you haven't read anything about the Fox News Dominion case. There you go...that's a factual comment with evidence.

Your claim of media control of the MSM has no basis other than claims by conservative outlets.

Mary Ann Biermeier, M.Ed.'s avatar

Yes, let us look at policy changes! Call it "oversight" and "measuring outcomes". I would add a few more to your list:

McCain-Feingold 2002 "Campaign Finance Reform" that created nightmare PACs and endless soft money for campaigns. End it now.

Bring back Glass-Steagal 1933 provisions that separates banking from investment houses. Recover our banking system from the money-laundering relationship between appropriations and Wallstreet.

Inforce the Clayton Act 1914 that prohibits monopolies. End the oligarchy Pharma, Chemicals, Agriculture which have essentially merged into one ugly beast. Break it up.

Fire all Congressional staff and "Representatives" that oppose the SAVE Act. We see clearly both DEMs and REPs that have failed the People.

Kathy S.'s avatar

Mary Ann, if you're not a regular reader of Karl Denninger at market-ticker.org, I highly recommend him to you. He really expands on your point about the health-care cartel. They're violating U.S. laws, and even the Supreme Court has said so, twice. And yet... no enforcement of the law against them. And the health-care cartel, as Denninger shows, is THE cause of our out-of-control, ever-accelerating national debt, and hence, our looming national bankruptcy. If nothing is done to enforce the law and break up the felonious medical cartel, our whole economy WILL collapse -- with all the consequences we can imagine.

Now fairly characterized as a senior, in my childhood and youth the news was just that. The "news" reported things that were happening locally and globally. In my world the "news" was also fact. With unrealized skepticism in my young and middle aged adulthood it was not until our infamous "pandemic" that my awareness of being media fed lies was in fact, fact. Too many examples for comments and my keyboarding skills, so I offer one example. Rachel Maddow on CNN emphatically pounding on her desk and shouting "if you get the "vaccine" you will not get COVID and you will not transmit COVID". Was that a lie ? It sure as hell was not the truth. Is it Pfizer that advertises on CNN or visa versa ?

So do you also protest heterosexual people who “flaunt” their sexuality by kissing in public, dressing in scanty provocative clothes, and dancing in a sexually suggestive manner?

You might as well just write off the entire countries of Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Mallorca, then. Not to mention ban old Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe movies. It’s a wild and dangerous world out there.

John Schrauth's avatar

Bessent and Grenell are exceptionally competent. Bessent is probably the best Treasury Secretary in the history of the Republic. Grenell once said gays in the Trump administration were there because they get the job done, unlike Democrat Administrations which used gays as props. Grenell said "we don't have an office with a Pride sign on the door saying here's our gay appointee."

GonzoDon's avatar

Wait: you’re telling me that gay people can sometimes be the most competent people in the room?

Next thing you know, you’ll be trying to tell me that women or Black people or Muslims may be the most competent doctors, soldiers, agency directors, generals, or intelligence officers. What’s the world coming to?

It’s not like they are afraid of careers being ruined, because ‘some’ careers have been ruined by Epstein files….

The nooze to me is somewhat like triage; the most injurious get attention first… and each day brings the opportunity for a ‘bloodier patient’…. And yet here you are all Epstein, all the time… you are truly boring.
