There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the final weeks.  Most political observers are now keenly aware of the difference between “ballots” and “votes” as they pertain to key counties:  Fulton County, Georgia; Wayne County, Michigan; Philadelphia and Allegany counties, Pennsylvania; Clark County, Nevada; Milwaukee and Marquette counties, Wisconsin, and Maricopa County, Arizona.

These are the specific counties and cities (Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Detroit) where the process of mass-mail/distribution of ballots, in combination with the assembly/harvesting therein, meets the process of “ballot scanning” at county level tabulation centers.  However, there’s another facet, “ballot making.”

Many people, including Robert F Kennedy Jr himself and his legal team in court filings, have presented the 2024 situation and asked a question. Essentially:

Why did the DNC apparatus sue to keep RFK JR’s name off certain state ballots and simultaneously sue to keep him on certain state ballots?

It just didn’t make sense….

… Until now.

In this interview Tucker Carlson talks with Mark Halprin, a well-connected journalist that Tucker Carlson cites as the epicenter of all political power and journalistic knowledge since the mid-1980’s. Accordingly, the magnanimous and enlightened Mark Halprin knows more about the institutions of electoral influence, political power structures, people and organizations of political influence than most journalists, so sayeth Carlson.  And so, their discussion follows along.

If you are nostalgic for the time before you saw the strings on the political marionettes, and/or you like to remind yourself how you viewed politics in the era long before elections were decided by ballots instead of voters, you will enjoy this satiating conversation of how things used to be.

Both Halprin and Carlson pretend things are just like they were, while they apply 1998 political insight to the 2024 election year, and -for some reason- people discuss it.

However, if you have stopped pretending and you understand that modern political outcomes are determined by ballot systems, local ballot printing, fraudulent voter rolls to give the illusion of attribution to the locally printed ballots, and tabulation centers that conduct the necessary scanning of unattributed ballots to a number needed to generate the outcome, then this food-filled discussion about political sides between Halprin and Carlson ends up leaving you somewhat hungry.

Here’s an example.  Within the interview Mark Halprin notes that Kamala Harris campaign has raised over a billion dollars, and that’s just the money from inside the campaign; there’s much more from “outside groups and interests.”  With jaw-agape Carlson curiously asks where that money came from?  Halprin replies, “I have no idea,” and they simply move along.

Stay away from the sketchy story around “Vem Miller” (DOB 10-26-74), and everything that surrounds the story of the possible 3rd assassination attempt.   Everything about this story is sketchy in the extreme, including his defenses.

Multiple, at least 3, passports.  Multiple, at least 3, ids.  Fake tags on vehicle. Unregistered vehicle.  Firearms (shotgun and handgun).  Claimed fake credentials for Trump rally.  A personal and familial connection to USA, Armenia, Great Britian (UK) and Canada.  Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco outlines the commonsense approach to viewing people as “sketchy.”

There are weird and sketchy people in the world, and law enforcement engage with weird and sketchy people every day.  When a federal law enforcement agency like the FBI engages with weird and sketchy people, generally the weird and sketchy people become confidential human sources.

Stay away from weird and sketchy people.

This is a little bit unusual, and I don’t generally recommend going to a bizarro leftist narrative article for full review; however, in this case it is worth it.

Politico has written an article about FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, saying disinformation about the federal government response to Hurricane Helene, “is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” Criswell told reporters on a Tuesday morning call.  “It’s creating distrust in the federal government, but also the state government, and we have so many first responders that have been working to go out and help these communities,” she added. {link}

However, if you go read the article fraught with pearl-clutching and protestation, you might curiously discover there is not a single citation for any claimed “disinformation.”  {SEE HERE}  It is very odd to see FEMA and by extension Politico in their defense, claiming that massive disinformation is running rampant, and yet they do not cite a single example of the disinformation they claim to exist.   Seriously, no joke – GO LOOK.

If you are an intellectually honest observer of government, you are left with the question: where is this disinformation you speak of?

Most of the shared examples of FEMA’s failures have been with full citation, presented with factual information – raw source attribution and audio/visuals of FEMA officials on the ground in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina to bolster the claims.  In short, all the claims against FEMA are specifically cited; however, all of the deflective justifications and denials are not.

First, my perspective for new readers.  I generally support private sector labor unions. I did not always support them.  I do not support public sector unions, nor the leadership of most labor unions in general who politicize their activity.  In our modern era, the baseline for organized labor to support the interests of their blue-collar workforce is valid.

Against the backdrop of the larger geopolitical dynamic, I would make the case that, similar to the solidarity movement of the mid 1980’s, organizing the general workforce is going to be the last-resort backstop measure to block ideological western government and corporate intentions.

Populism, nationalism and MAGA specifically, needs a unity alliance with organized private sector labor.

I also believe President Trump sees the looming importance of this relationship as made visible by his support for the Teamsters union during the RNC convention.

Consider what we witnessed and endured with the forced worker vaccination programs of 2021.  I do not like the idea of politicized labor but contemplate how organized labor could have been used to pushback against the diminishment of liberty. There is a potential for value; thus, I evaluate organized apolitical labor as a potential pragmatic ally.

That said, let us discuss the looming strike by The International Longshoreman’s Association, which represents 50,000 East and Gulf Coast dockworkers.

There are a lot of economic impacts that can be created by a dockworker strike; they range from inconvenient to severe depending on the industry and sector therein.  With the U.S. manufacturing base diminished, imported goods now represent the system to deliver essential products into our nation.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement data shows that amid the illegal aliens Biden and Harris have let into the country, among those not in ICE detention, there are 425,431 convicted criminals and 222,141 with pending criminal charges.

Within those numbers, 62,231 convicted of assault, 14,301 convicted of burglary, 56,533 with drug convictions and 13,099 convicted of homicide. An additional 2,521 have kidnapping convictions and 15,811 have sexual assault convictions.  There are an additional 1,845 with pending homicide charges, 42,915 with assault charges, 3,266 with burglary charges and 4,250 with assault charges. {LINK}

That’s the context for the most transparently political game of policy reversal in modern history.  After years of advocating for open borders, pushing policies that have led to tens of millions of illegal aliens, and denouncing efforts to keep the border secure, Kamala Harris has the nerve to travel to the southern border and pretend she cares about border security.

US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris visits the border town of Douglas, AZ Friday while apparently wearing a $62,000 Tiffany & Co. necklace. [VIDEO LINK] 

New York Post – […] It was her first visit to the beleaguered southern border since a 2021 visit to El Paso, Texas, four months after President Biden named her border czar.

She called out her rival, GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for “fanning the flames of fear and division” over immigration, while Trump slammed Harris as “totally incompetent” after news broke of federal data released the same day showing more than 15,000 illegal immigrants currently living in the US are convicted or accused of homicide.

As remarkable as it sounds, the Kamala Harris hypocrisy on the border issue was even too much for CNN.

In an almost identical replay to the 2016 election, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference today to note the indictment of three Iranian suspects for hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome.  [37-page-indictment pdf Here]

In 2016 the identified influence agents were from the nation of Russia. In 2024 the identified influence agents, Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi, are from the nation of Iran. All other aspects seemingly remain identical.

According to CBS, “The three defendants — identified in the indictment as Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — are all members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prosecutors said they executed a “wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.” (more)

It’s likely Fani told Nathan she was going to say, “she dindunuffin’,” and he better disappear.   Apparently, the U.S. Marshals are looking for Nathan Wade after he has refused to accept a subpoena for testimony.

ATLANTA — The U.S. House Judiciary Committee has now tapped the U.S. Marshals to help obtain testimony from former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade.

They’ve taken the step after Wade failed to appear for an earlier scheduled hearing, according to a copy of a letter accompanying a subpoena obtained by 11Alive. Now, a committee spokesman said they’ve asked the Marshals service to serve Wade with a subpoena to testify.

[…] “Nathan Wade’s evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him.”

The subpoena, signed September 20, requests Wade’s testimony at a September 26 hearing in Washington, DC.  Nathan Wade did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
