Hoisted on their own petard again. The ballots in Broward were designed to give the impression of voter suppression so they could “fix” them during a recount and give Nelson the win. But a University of Florida professor studied the ballots and turnout and found that the poorly designed ballots have a larger disadvantage to Scott. Nelson doesn’t have a leg to stand on, and we uncovered one of their methods before 2020. This was a trial run, and it failed.

Re Julian Assange, Politico has a good piece up describing what happened with the DOJ’s supposedly inadvertent inclusion of sections from secret pleadings dealing with sealed criminal proceedings against Assange, bizarrely cut and pasted into a pleading in an unrelated case (involving sex crime charges against one “Seitu Sulayman Kokayi” for trying to entice a minor), how they were discovered (a former US Counterterrorism official working at GWU named Seamus Hughes found them and posted them on twitter). https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/16/julian-assange-charges-wikileaks-997122
Fascinating that it comes just as Mueller is squeezing Corsi and Don Jr about whether they had prior knowledge from Wikileaks, or its leaker, or the Russians, about the Podesta and Clinton emails Assange released in the run-up to the election.
Money quote from the pleading:
“The complaint, supporting affidavit, and arrest warrant, as well as this motion and the proposed order, would need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and can therefore no longer evade or avoid arrest and extradition in this matter.”
Also from the article: “Joshua Stueve, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in the Eastern District of Virginia, said in a statement the reference to Assange in an unrelated criminal case “was made in error.”
“That was not the intended name for this filing,” he said.
“A spokesman for Mueller declined comment.”
All in all a pretty big shoe to inadvertently drop. What does it mean, Treepers?

From the Politico article: Assange’s reemergence at a time when Mueller has carefully studied how WikiLeaks obtained the Russian-hacked Democratic emails in 2016
But Assange said the emails did not come from Russia. https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/julian-assange-russian-government-not-source-of-leaked-dnc-and-podesta-emails-wikileaks-editor-contradicts-cia-claims-in-new-interview-35300175.html
WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange has again denied that emails from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta were hacked and leaked to his organisation by the Russian government. In an interview with Sean Hannity he was asked: “So in other words, let me be clear…Russia did not give you the Podesta documents or anything from the DNC?” The Australian founder of the whistleblowing website, who has been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for over four years, responded: “That’s correct.” Assange said: “We’re unhappy that we felt that we needed to even say that it wasn’t a state party. Normally, we say nothing at all.

Haha, from the article I linked to:
Some Republicans argue that it is high time for Assange, who has been living under asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012, to face justice. “This is cut and dried: WikiLeaks is an outlet for foreign propaganda, and Julian Assange is an enemy of the American people,” said Sen.

And here’s the NYT report today on the secret Assange indictment:

OK, here to they are claiming that Russia was the source of the emails. But in the article I linked to above, it says this:
Last week Craig Murray, the former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan, who is a close associate of Assange, dismissed the CIA’s claims that Russia was the source of the emails as “bulls***”. [,,,] Mr Murray said: “I know who leaked them. I’ve met the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it’s an insider. It’s a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.

Of course they blame it on Russia, that’s their story and they’re sticking to it! It’s the 17 Obama intelligence agencies (who failed to examine the server in question, and actually didn’t really involve 14 of those agencies), vs Assange, plus people who’ve spoken to Assange and skeptics everywhere.
To me, much more plausible is that the Dems had earlier decided they wanted Trump as their opponent, and agreed that “Best strategy is to slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin,” then, when their emails were leaked by an insider, decided to roll up this embarrassment into their “best strategy,” with full credulity and support pledged by our no-longer-journalist journalists, who reported: it was all Trump colluding with Russia.
And Thanks covfefe, for reminding us of the Awan family, America’s favorite Pakistan security connected, phony car company named CIA operating, full family employed Democrat congressperson IT team, who keep disappearing from public notice.

I’ve been comparing 2016 to 2018 in my head. My view is limited, but the differences that stand out from my small corner of the world are this. Conservative media was much stronger in 2016 than in 2018. We had a local conservative radio host who turned out to be NeverTrumper, but before this he was a huge help in getting out the vote for 2010 and 2014. He was fired over a year ago and his replacement is no where near as competent.
This happened across the board, on radio and tv and internet. Many of the strong conservative voices during the Obama years remained NeverTrump. The newer MAGA voices on social media and YouTube that rose up to fill the void in 2016 have been censored. This has hampered our ability to get out vote during a midterm when turnout is lower in general.
We need to be more active online. We need to fight the shadow banning and censorship on social media by being even more active. We also need to support conservative media voices that maybe was not MAGA or even NeverTrump last time but have come around. We need to watch, listen, retweet, buy books, and promote anyone who supports the President, no matter when they got on the train.
This also means holding our noses and watching Lou Dobbs, Hannity, and Tucker Carlson. I know FoxNews stinks, but they’ll use any excuse to get these guys off the air. They need the ratings.
This is a propoganda war, we can’t afford to lose the only pro-Trump voices we have. Even if they are employed by the Murdoch’s.
Please support Rush, Mark Steyn, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, and newer voices like Steven Crowder. Some of these names have not always been PDJT supporters, but they are now and we need to strengthen them.
It’s time for us to be out and proud and bold and loud. We also need try to woo Republicans and independents who are not huge PDJT supporters. We do this by emphasizing the agenda and pointing out the totalitarianism of the left. Kill em with kindness and common sense.
We also need to be fighting back on the social media wars. We need to be posting memes like crazy. We need to promote websites like Twitchy. It may not always be friendly PDJT, but it does a great job of highlighting the hypocrisy and lunacy of the left. We need this more than ever.
Please post on comboxes at sites like American Thinker, Hot Air, and other sites. We need more pro-Trump voices to promote MAGA with common sense and humor. We also need more combox warriors to take one for the team and post on liberal sites like Hugfpost, Wapo, even cesspools like Salon. This is a dirty job, but someone needs to do it.
Also, please please volunteer now for 2020. Talk to your local GOP party and find out what you can do. Become a poll watcher. Be trained as an activist. Get to know the other volunteers and build up your network. This will help get out the vote in 2020.

Wikileaks Claims DOJ Charging Julian Assange – DOJ Confirms
OK, during the reign of the usurper-in-chief, Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah, conservatives and then-candidate Donald Trump, were thrilled that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was revealing the criminal actions of the US government against its own people. My, how things have changed since Donald Trump became president. Wikileaks tweeted out that a document dump containing information on Julian Assange also revealed with charges or drafts of charges against the Wikileaks founder, and the Justice Department quickly confirmed that the US was charging him.
“SCOOP: US Department of Justice “accidentally” reveals existence of sealed charges (or a draft for them) against WikiLeaks’ publisher Julian Assange in apparent cut-and-paste error in an unrelated case also at the Eastern District of Virginia,” was tweeted by Wikileaks with a link to the documents.
What I find absolutely disgraceful in all of this is that the American people were promised a special prosecutor to go after real criminals against the people, namely Hillary Clinton, and we are seeing our government go after everyone but her!
Julian Assange, love him or hate him, was instrumental in exposing the corruption of our own government and their unlawfulness against American citizens. The fact that American didn’t rein in its tyranny will now show forth in what will happen to Assange.
He put his life on the line and has basically lived in exile to reveal the truth while many wishy-washy Americans praised him under Obama and demonize him under Trump”

Very, very interesting interview that gives a Russian perspective to President Trump ending the INF Treaty. They even admit that the former USSR and now Russia found ways to circumvent the treaty without outright violating the word of the treaty. Seems the U.S. also did so with sea based Tomahawk missiles.
The also refer to the fight for bases in the Ukraine and Syria. I thought it was very interesting and filled some context that I was not aware of. Granted, this is in Russian and it is always a good idea to take what they have to say with a grain of salt. But, so much seemed to make so much sense.
Although I am ex-military, I am not an expert on military history. So, any additional information/critique is welcome. 😀
The video is about 22min. with English subtitles.

Wow! Mind-blowing theory if true! John Bolton was WARMLY welcomed in Moscow AFTER the treaty was terminated. Why?
Could it be that ending the INF treaty was not a warning to Russia…but a direct shot at China? After the treat was signed in 1987, several other countries, including China, gained nuclear capabilities that were not covered under the treaty.
Hence, the INF Treaty became a national security threat to both the United States and Russia. Now, with the treaty null and void—does that not give President Trump more leverage over China? Russia is also not tied up in a treaty that hinders them from dealing with a nuclear threat right in their back yard.
VERY INTERESTING! Could be more 64D chess tag-team Eagle/Bear vs China/Pakistan/Iran!
