Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides an update today on the Maricopa County ballot audit and other election integrity issues.

As Mrs. Ward notes the hand count portion of the audit is complete with only the braille ballots left to be reviewed.  However, one of the larger issues of election integrity needs to continue being highlighted, ballot harvesting.  The issue of ballot harvesting is rife with the potential for fraud.  Mrs Ward notes the process of ballot harvesting does not align with chain-of-custody requirements and the people, groups and organizations who conduct ballot harvesting have a sketchy history.

What the chairwoman calls “ballot harvesters”, should also be identified as “voting mules”.  The term mule will surface more frequently as it differentiates between taking custody of a legitimate ballot on behalf of a voter, versus a process of creating votes through manipulation of ballots and voter files.

A mule will collect or retrieve blank ballots, take them to a centralized processing facility where they are filled out, and then drop them off at ballot collection sites.  While both processes are fraught with election manipulation, there is a significant difference in what a harvester does -vs- what a mule does.

I am really interested in the opinion of this story from readers who remember the era, tactics and strategies of former GOP consultant ¹Lee Atwater.  I cannot read this bizarre and unstable story without thinking about the stuff Atwater used to do….

The Tampa Bay, Florida, area congressional seat currently occupied by Charlie Crist is going to be vacant as Crist runs for Florida Governor in 2022 against republican Ron DeSantis.

As a result there are many people lining up to run for the Tampa area congressional district.  One of the leading republican candidates is Paulina Luna who lost to Crist in 2020 (local election ballot fraud not withstanding).

However, a story in Politico today outlines a lower-tier GOP candidate threatening to kill Paulina Luna if it looks like she will win the primary.  The entire story is beyond weird, including how and why someone would have begun recording the conversation in the first place; then the goofy story is delivered to lefty Politico exclusively (ergo very Atwater-esque).

MIAMI — A little-known GOP candidate in one of Florida’s most competitive congressional seats was secretly recorded threatening to send “a Russian and Ukrainian hit squad” to a fellow Republican opponent to make her “disappear.”

Philadelphia city leadership had previously changed policies forbidding foster-care referrals to faith-based worship groups.  The far-left Philadelphia government officials had expressed their ‘woke’ advocacy by blocking Catholic Social Services (CSS), an organization associated with the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and foster parents from providing services due to their outlook on traditional marriage.

Two foster parents and CSS sued the city for discrimination alleging the policy violated their first amendment right to their religious belief.  Two lower courts ruled against Catholic Social Services, reflecting just how politicized the local and state judiciary has become.  However, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with CSS and the parents in a 9-0 ruling [full pdf here], affirming that Philadelphia was factually discriminating against the group based on their religious beliefs.

However, as noted by SCOTUS Blog – […] “the decision fell short of the broad endorsement of religious freedom that the challengers had sought. While the justices unanimously agreed with CSS and the foster parents that the city’s action was unconstitutional, a six-justice majority left intact the Supreme Court’s 1990 decision in Employment Division v. Smith, which held that government actions do not violate the Constitution’s free exercise clause as long as they are neutral and apply to everyone.”

To say there are sketchy issues in Fulton County, Georgia, elections would be the understatement of the year.  So many issues have been raised with the Atlanta area 2020 election processes it would be impossible to encapsulate them in one article.  However, one consistent pattern continues…. It appears specific lots of ballots -all favoring Joe Biden- were counted multiple times.

The multiple counting issue is just one aspect, one point of data, that current lawsuits within the region are attempting to resolve.  The scanning of the same batches of ballots multiple times would explain the “missing batches” issue.  The batches are “missing” because they were simply not batches at all, they were duplicate scans of ballots that had already been counted.

Additionally, fraudulent ballots created on non secure paper, which appear to have been made on copy machines, is another issue (some of that touched here).   That issue has been directly confirmed to CTH by an election worker who was part of the original count and who noted there were ballots on paper that was not authorized as print stock for the original ballots.

The audit of 147,000 sketchy absentee ballots might start to unravel these and may other issues that have become problematic for the Atlanta area election officials to hide.  Fulton County officials have already admitted to violations in state election law surrounding chain-of-custody documents; and into this mix of information comes a report from John Solomon and Daniel Payne about internal election communication and notes that seem to confirm the Fulton County officials were attempting to deal with election manipulation. {SEE HERE}

(Just the News) – […] scores of batches of absentee ballots that appeared missing from the documents and more than two dozen batches of absentee ballots that appear to have been double or triple-counted in Fulton County. (read more)

There are seven targeted voter regions where similar ballot issues and statistical impossibilities have been identified nationwide: Fulton County, Georgia; Wayne County, Michigan; Maricopa County, Arizona; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Clark County, Nevada; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Madison, Wisconsin.

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos continues to document parents and educators across the nation who are fighting back against the Marxist indoctrination happening around Critical Race Theory.  Essentially the U.S. public education system attempting to duplicate the an American version of China’s cultural revolution.

One smart mom in California, Syndie Ly, did not believe the obfuscation and denial she received from the school; so she did her own investigation.  Mrs. Ly filed FOIA requests for internal school emails and documents.  What she found was the school was lying to her, so she went to the School Board with the evidence in hand and confronted them.

As noted by John “parents across the country are fighting the implementation of Critical Race Theory-inspired studies in the classroom. This report features a California mother who discovered her son was given a “White Savior Complex” assignment in English class.” WATCH:

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Last night and tonight, Fox News host Tucker Carlson led off the show with discussion of the “January 6th Insurrection” narrative.

On Tuesday night Carlson and Darren Beattie suggested some form of senate Church Committee 2.0 should be initiated in order to investigate the U.S. intelligence community, and specifically the FBI for their role in coordinating or facilitating the January 6th events.  On Wednesday night Carlson again recommended the U.S. congress should start investigating.

Putting aside the background motives of Tucker Carlson; and accepting he is making these recommendations in good faith; there is a fatal flaw in his suggestion – and the support from anyone else who would suggest the same or similar approach.  The fatal flaw is an obvious one that unfortunately too many people just will not, and cannot, accept….

The Legislative Branch of the federal government is part of the Intelligence Community corruption.  The oversight “gang of eight” (pictured above), are enablers and participants in the corrupt endeavors that Carlson wants them to investigate.

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) led by Chairman Adam Schiff, and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) led by Chairman Mark Warner, are part of the institutional corruption.  This is the problem, the core issue in the background, that too few people are recognizing as they begin to see the corruption within the intelligence community.  The legislative branch and the executive branch are working together; there is NO functioning oversight.  {CLIFF NOTES}

Russian President Vladimir Putin embarrassed a visibly cognitively impaired Joe Biden today in Geneva, Switzerland.  To be fair, Putin didn’t have to do much other than stand there and let the world see a mumbling fool with note cards try to remember his rehearsed lines on the international stage. 

However, it was likely the international embarrassment and the frustrated feedback from his handlers; in combination with his own internal admissions of inadequacy; that triggered the inappropriate angry outburst toward the traveling press corps:

.

One of Biden’s ongoing issues is the press corps wants and likes ‘their girl‘ Kamala Harris more than the installed Biden.  Even the ideological press corps laughs at just how hard they need to work to keep up appearances.  Pre-approved journalists asking pre-scripted questions to get rehearsed mumbling responses, must get a little boring after a while…. Move away from that control element, and you get what is highlighted above.  More below:
