The Federalist–If Georgia Doesn’t Fix Fulton County’s Illegal Voting, It Will Spread:
5 Years Too Late, Fulton County Proves Trump’s Call To Raffensperger Right
“… On Jan. 2, 2021, Trump called Raffensperger to discuss the irregularities in Fulton County, mentioning the county no fewer than 14 times during the call and stating flatly that it was “totally corrupt.” Trump cited estimates of “250 to 300,000 ballots” that had been “dropped mysteriously into the rolls,” repeatedly noting that Fulton County had never been “checked.” In light of what has now been formally admitted, those claims read less like hyperbole and more like an uncannily accurate description of what actually occurred.
Rather than taking those concerns seriously as questions of whether the law had actually been followed, Raffensperger dismissed them outright, insisting that “we do have an accurate election.” What he did not disclose was that his chief of staff, Jordan Fuchs, was secretly recording the conversation in violation of the law, as The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reported last year. Immediately after the call, Fuchs leaked the tape to The Washington Post, where, the very next day, it was selectively framed to create the now-infamous narrative that Trump had pressured Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes.”
That framing inverted the substance of the exchange. Trump’s point was not that votes should be manufactured but that since he was asserting large-scale illegality, identifying 11,780 unlawful votes, the margin of Biden’s supposed win, should have been straightforward. Raffensperger’s leaked phone call, however, proved politically effective. Within days, following the events of Jan. 6, the selectively edited conversation became a central exhibit in the broader effort to portray Trump as having attempted to criminally overturn the election, rather than as challenging what was in fact an election that had been illegally certified.
Years later, with Fulton County now conceding that hundreds of thousands of ballots were never lawfully certified, the episode takes on a very different light. Trump was not inventing problems out of thin air. He was pointing, imperfectly but insistently, to a fundamental failure to follow even the most basic rules of how elections are conducted. The consequences, however, fell entirely on the wrong person. Trump was denounced for questioning the election, accused of undermining democracy, and subjected to years of investigation and prosecution for stating what was true: that legal requirements for certifying hundreds of thousands of votes had been fundamentally violated.
But even as the man accused of attacking democracy for questioning the process has now been vindicated on a central factual point, the people and institutions that failed to follow the law have faced no consequences.
The fact that President Trump ultimately won reelection does not undo what was done in Georgia. Accountability is not contingent on electoral reversal. It is contingent on whether the law still binds those who administer elections, and whether violations of that law still matter once the political moment has passed.” …….
Hence Venezuela.

Widespread evidence that White Men have been systematically suppressed / oppressed / discriminated against because of DEI
Infographic: 10 Key Insights from “The Lost Generation”
Illustrating the viral article by Jacob Savage
Contrary to assumptions that excluded white men simply moved to other high-status fields, declines were universal. White men dropped from 31.2% of law school matriculants in 2016 to 25.7% in 2024, and from 31% of medical students in 2014 to 20.5% in 2025. At Google, white men fell from nearly half the workforce in 2014 to less than a third by 2024. The only refuges found—crypto, podcasting, Substack—were chosen precisely because they lacked institutional gatekeepers.

I listened to a podcast on this subject and they brought up a fascinating point that I had not considered before…
Yes, there are probably many talented young, white men who are angry and bitter that they did not get the opportunity to pursue their chosen occupation. But could there also be a significant number of angry bitter young white men who were not actually cut out to succeed in a competitive position but they didn’t realize that because they were not allowed to even try?
Maybe they could have given it their best shot, failed, and then gone on to a different, but equally fulfilling, career in another field more suited to their talents and their temperament. But since they were not given the opportunity to try in the first place, they are perpetually unhappy, mistakenly believing that it was DEI alone that held them back, which in a way it was, but NOT in the way they think!
Absolutely, DEI has skewed so many industries and damaged the hopes and dreams of millions of young men, but this was an angle to the problem that had never crossed my mind before!

A Brief for Whitey
https://buchanan.org/blog/pjb-a-brief-for-whitey-969
I remember this story and there are simply NO EXCUSES for this kind of behavior! I abhor DEI and am so thankful that the insanity appears to be receding a bit, although until it is 100% banished from the workplace and academia, it will continue to wreck havoc on the lives of millions of hardworking Americans!
However, my point in the previous post was simply to illustrate that another unforeseen consequence may be that some young men are using DEI as a catch all excuse as to why they have not succeeded and that is another difficult, but necessary conversation, to be had, IMHO
I have a nephew who is convinced that he is the best writer since Shakespeare (maybe better, according to his doting mother) but that he hasn’t been able to succeed because he is a straight white male! He is both the victim and victor in every story he tells but nothing is ever his fault – it is always the “system” that is against him, failing to recognize his talents, when, in actual fact, he is lazy and entitled. Maybe being allowed to compete early on, in a fair marketplace of ideas, would have produced some humility and he might have been able to either improve his skills or choose a different line of work, where he could have succeeded…
Merry Christmass VM. I understood and I did not mean to step on your post. This cultural marxist bs kept me away from my dream career that I had gone to college for and had all the work experience and credentials to perform better than any woman who I was discriminated against for. They made gender a minority since in the 90’s the Babylonian immigration invasion had not started in earnest. Giving woman ‘careers” helped to lower Western birthrates and destroy the traditional family. These are 2 goals of the utmost importance to our Luciferian enemies.
I wish those Caucasian men had the chance to succeed or fail. The unconstitutional Communist Manifesto planks and taxes was meant to lower our birthrates just like the DNA study in England showed happened in the past with the Saxons and the Celtic Britons. We are surrounded by enemies.
The comments prove that those who have been discriminated against…are not alone.

Sounds like what has been happening to our military as recently as this year.
Exactly right friend. I have ‘ears’ in the military. Its either now or never imo. Either PDJT & the patriots in his Admin/Military/and the MAGA America people win out this term or its finished. Demographics is destiny and I foresaw what Pat Buchanan was and has been warning us about since his first campaign in 92.
Jack Cashill’s “Untenable” is a must read for everyone. Cheers
There’s another irony that often occurs when there is enforced systemic change, those who are directly affected often become the reason for that change to fail in its goals. DEI has seen a generation of white males become more politically aware than ever before because DEI gave them a specific target to vent their understandable frustration. This targeting then widened to include the movement (Leftist progressives) who’d brought about, and supported, this policy of discrimination, and conversely support for those who had opposed it
Once this happened, the affected group began to actively reject everything the Leftists represented, which is why, even though the institutional and political pressure for the targeted group to conform has increased yearly it has became increasingly ineffective and counter-productive. It’s also a reason why Conservative political parties are dominating elections (when the government allows them to be held) and why you have the Trump phenomena, and his populist agenda, not only surviving and triumphing, but growing.
DEI has caused huge amounts of pain and suffering, but if it’s any small consolation to its victims it’s also the engine of its own destruction and the movement whose twisted ideology created the original concept.
Thank you for posting this Feisty. I was discriminated against numerous times and was blocked from my “Dream”.
Jim Webb says end affirmative action
I vividly remember a PBS interview with a Louisiana college professor who had bootstrapped himself up from bayou poverty to a tenured position. He very candidly said that he thought that Affirmative Action was “condescending.”
The essence of his point was that “the color of his skin” was not a “handicap” that he needed to be “compensated for.” He did not need – and did not want – “special” treatment.
Obviously, where racism genuinely exists, you can work to eliminate it. But, this Government program simply asserted that it is everywhere. And, that “dark-skinned people” categorically couldn’t “make it” without “help.”
I entirely agreed with him.
With respect MR, Webb accurately revealed that these Diversity programs were diverted from there original intent and were then weaponized against Caucasians & Blacks, by making immigrants AA-Diversity hires.
I was a top design engineer, had 6 years experience designing cutting edge stuff *before* I finished undergrad.
Japan stole the first industry I worked in after graduation. Germany, the second. Japan the third. Then the internet bubble pop wiped out my business
Then came the foreign IT workers, only thing left for me was to work for the MIC where the Indians didnt take over.
But, I say F-it and retired early when the gov became too corrupt for me to stomache.
These days, I could start many different types of companies, but I would just be bankrupt by heavily financed competition. So, I play with chickens.
My Father designed the first color TV, first transistor TV, and some of the first computers.
NAFTA wiped out all of that for us.
Not many people talk about their chickens round here.
So, what kinds of chickens do you have, JScott?
About three months ago one of the hens just got up off three eggs just as they began to hatch, she just walked off.
Never seen anything like it.
Well, one didn’t make it but the other two lived in a bird cage with a heater and a lamp in the house until they were big enough to join the rest of the group, they were maybe three or four months old by then.
They’re doing great and always stay next to each other.
Both are deep smoky grey Jungle Fowl, one has the greenish grey legs/feet and the other has the regular yellowish-whitish legs/feet.
Anyway, I named them the Twinkies.
Yellow foot is named Twinkle and grey foot is named Twankle.
Do you name your chickens?

Since this money originates with the fed gov, the feds have an obligation to see that it is used as intended.
My impression is that the investigations about this matter are fragmented and being slow-walked.
I hope the President will flood Minnesota with auditors, investigators, and attorneys until this mess is cleaned up, the grift is stopped, and people are behind bars.
Maybe this is going on now, but I wouldn’t count on it. If it is, that fact needs to be communicated. Not like the “Epstein files are on my desk” HS, which amounted to several steps backward.
May all Treepers have a safe and peaceful good night……………….dream well
Thank you! And you too!

De-Christianizing America
https://theimaginativeconservative.org/2015/06/de-christianizing-america.html
“What are the causes of a de-Christianized America?
High among them is the Supreme Court, which, since the Earl Warren era began, purged Christianity from all public schools and the public square—and has been met with a puzzling lack of resistance from Middle America to the secularist revolution being imposed upon it.
Second, an anti-Christian elite captured the cultural heights—the arts, elite universities, popular culture, the media—and began, through movies, books and magazines, an assault on Christian beliefs and morality.
Third was the social revolution of the 1960s, which began with the arrival of the baby boomers on campus in 1964″
Our enemies from the IC helped push much of the cultural Marxist 60’s revolution through music.

An Amateur Detective May Have Solved Six of California’s Most Notorious Murders – HotAir
A pretty interesting story from the LA Times today suggests that an amateur codebreaker in West Virginia may have solved both the famous Black Dahlia murder, which happened in Los Angeles in 1947 and the Zodiac killings which took place in 1968-69 in northern California. There are a lot of kooks out there calling themselves investigators these days, but Alex Baber seems to have really done it.

If the Christian resistance bloc in Africa of Rhodesia/South Africa/Portugal had not been betrayed by our enemy within, no of that would be happening in Africa. The Western backed Communist terrorists has now been replaced with the Western backed Islamic terrorist.
Under the luciferian disguise of “Racial Justice” we destroyed our Christian Western allies/friends/brothers & sisters in Africa.

So many studies now point in the same directions. I pray parents are seeing these results and are seriously paying attention when they decide their child needs vaccines and when and how many to get. This one really shows the danger for female infants after the 2 month schedule of vaccines as they stand now. Scary scary issues. My heart goes out to all the babies affected by this and by the parents being told it was SIDs.
