Well, after the weekend things have calmed down to a manageable level. The Mad Irishman highlights an ET report that the Texas Audit Finds Over 11,000 Potential Noncitizens Registered To Vote, Other Problems – Epoch Times. Yes, Texas is still safe for now, but it's time to nip the potential for fraud before Democrats get confident they can pull it off. AP happily reports a Watershed moment in NYC: New law allows noncitizens to vote, and the new Mayor is going along with it. Kurt Schlichter at Town Hall has some election reform suggestion, Hey Dems, We Got Your Election Reforms Right Here
These reforms would horrify the Democrats because they would make Democrat losers less likely to vote and complicate Democrat cheating. Those are features, not bugs.
- Picture voter ID both to register and to vote. If you are too dumb to get an ID, you should be licking windows instead of casting ballots.
- No same day registration. There’s no way to confirm your identity the same day you sign up.
- One day voting, on Election Day. If it’s too much trouble to vote on Election Day, don’t.
- In-person voting. If you are deployed with the military or in an iron lung, you can vote absentee. Everyone else shows up in-person. Only absentee ballots arriving by 5 pm on election day get counted.
- No ballot harvesting. That nonsense ends.
- Paper ballots only. We want an audit trail.
- No ballots not counted within 12 hours of the polls closing get counted. We’re done with dumps and “found” ballots.
- Every vote gets counted in public with lots of observers. Total transparency.
- Large urban centers must report votes first. This makes it hard for Democrat pols to know how many ballots to find.
- No changes to election laws or procedures within 180 days of the election. That gives time for us to litigate the scams.
Politico worries about How a Simple Twist of Fate Could End Democrats’ Control of the Senate. It's obvious, isn't it? In a collection of old people, what are the odds one dies or gets seriously ill, and his/her/zits replacement gets named by a Republican? Certainly non-zero. No fair helping.
Wa Free Bee says Donald Trump Is Betting Favorite To Win 2024 Election. Roger Kimball at Am Great is not quite as sure, Trump in 2024? Maybe! Yes, I know he's a very polarizing figure, but then, any Republican with the nomination instantly becomes a very polarizing figure in the eyes of the media and Democrats (but I redund). Mediaite crows ‘Learn to Lose’: Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade Goes In on Trump for Keeping Up His Big Lie Rhetoric. But he better watch out he's got a hound dog on his trail, Am Spec, Mike Pompeo Loses 90 Pounds: Is a Presidential Run Incoming? "He looks like a new man — and one who’s gunning for higher office." I like Pompeo, and he'd probably be an OK president, but I'm not so sure he could be elected.
From Da Caller, Ron Johnson Running For Third Term In Wisconsin. Althouse quotes him in “President Reagan warned that freedom is fragile, always one generation away from extinction.” "Writes Ron Johnson in "Why I’m Seeking a Third Senate Term/I’d like to retire, but I think the country is in too much peril" (in The Wall Street Journal)." Power is powerful draw.
At Da Blaze, Democrats now fear school closings will hurt them politically: NYT and 'Loyal, left-leaning Democrat' pens article blasting her own party for botching schools closings during the pandemic: 'Complete lack of sympathy or outright hostility from my own team'. Shhh, don't warn them! At Town Hall, Report Shows That California Students Suffered Academically During COVID-19 Lockdowns. KT at Haut Hair, Chicago teachers go door to door to sign families up for COVID testing while students are shut out of classrooms. No chance of catching Omicron that way, trust me!
Breitbart, Report: Californians Leaving for Texas So Rapidly, U-Haul Ran Out of Trucks. As long as they leave their voting habits behind.
NewsBusters, ABC's 'This Week' Uses Jan 6 Anniversary to SMEAR Military As 'Extremists'. It's reflexive at this point
Matthew Boose at Am Great discourses on Joe Biden’s Outrageous, Dishonest Anniversary Speech "Isn’t it funny how “democracy” always wins when Democrats do?"
Hold on a second. Did the man whose political party spent years waging a public “resistance” against a president they didn’t like really just give a sermon about accepting defeat with grace? Now, after years of “Russian collusion” and “pee tape” hysteria, it’s suddenly verboten to question election results?
From the Ron Paul Institute tells A Tale of Two Authoritarians
(News writing has become a pre-fab profession, like assembling IKEA furniture. All you need is an Allen wrench and a list of the latest clichés. “Trump’s efforts to undermine the 2020 election” has replaced “Trump’s efforts to coordinate with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” and “Trump’s false claims of fraud” has replaced “Trump’s false claims of ‘fake news.’” Part of the significance of January 6th is that it updated popular propaganda stock, which had grown stale.)
Emily Brooks at WaEx reports Jim Jordan declines 'unprecedented and inappropriate' Jan. 6 committee request for cooperation. GFY is the proper response.
Roger Kimball and Insty, What was Ted Cruz thinking?“I do believe that Tucker Carlson was right when he observed that no one chooses his words more carefully than Ted Cruz. He must have known what the rhetorical effect of his words would be. I suspect he now rues what he said. But that does not excuse it. I wish he hadn’t given such aid and comfort to the people posing the real threat to what Nancy Pelosi likes to call ‘our democracy.’”
Gawd I had to support Twitter, but this one is too good to pass up:
Like a dog with a bone, the redoubtable Julie Kelly (at Am Great as always) still wants to know What Role Did the FBI Play in January 6?, while Athena Horn at PJ Media reports Jan. 6 Protestor Files Federal Lawsuit for Alleged Beating by Capitol PoliceGod decided that he had heard enough BS pic.twitter.com/n4XdwlmOvc

On Jan. 5, one day before the statute of limitations would have expired for some of the crimes she’s alleging, Victoria White filed a federal lawsuit against the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia. White was a protestor at the Jan. 6, 2021 demonstration at the U.S. Capitol.
According to the suit, a copy of which was posted by Epoch Times, White was forced into the West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol by the massive number of protestors. She became trapped between the protestors and the riot police and was immobilized inside the tunnel. At that time, White’s suit alleges, she was struck in the head with a baton numerous times, sprayed with mace, punched in the face, and had her hair pulled by Capitol police. The abuse continued even though White was bleeding, visibly in distress, unable to move away from the police or follow any orders to do so, and collapsed more than once.
The suit was filed by White’s attorney, Joseph D. McBride. McBride’s law firm posted several videos of the events that transpired that day on rumble.com. One video shows White being beaten and prevented from escaping by riot police over a five-minute period. The officers nearest her held onto her so she couldn’t move away, while an officer just behind them struck her repeatedly on the head with a baton. That officer appeared to be a supervisor because he was wearing a white-shirted uniform. The complaint presumes him to be a lieutenant.
