That must be the same 20% who think eating craft paste gives you super powers.

We *really* need to stop asking them to give their opinions about anything.

anyone who believes the 2020 election was on the up and up should be euthanized at this point

or at a minimum have their right to vote and drivers license revoked immediately

because the stupidity it takes to truly believe that flagrant and in your face bouquet of shenanigans is just unfathomable and honestly, quite dangerous to anyone around them

Who needs the Tides Foundation, Mark Zuckerberg, or even George Soros anymore? The US government is now taking their place, and Uncle Sam's pockets are deeper than all of them combined.

The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway wrote one of the best accounts of what was happening behind the scenes during the weirdest election of our lifetime. The left mobilized en masse to ensure Donald Trump would lose. It included billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and more than $350 million of his own money.

Private dollars were given to public election offices through left-wing nonprofit organizations — but with a few conditions. It amounted to a Democratic get-out-the-vote effort, which included mass mail-in voting and ballot "curing," whereby election workers fix mail-in ballot problems after the ballot has been submitted.

And the money wasn't thrown around willy-nilly. It was directed toward government election offices in the biggest cities in swing states, where a majority of the Democratic Party's voters live. Those funds were used for Democrats' voter outreach, designing and translating ballots, along with ballot harvesting, curing, and counting operations.

The conflict of interest here is obvious. Partisan and private funding, going to partisan Democrat organizations, then funneled to public election offices to target Democrat voters, was being done in the most unprecedented election in modern history.

This was all part of the system that emerged after 2020. I'm not arguing about the eventual election results, but this new system doesn't breed a great deal of voter confidence.

More than half the country has now banned private funding in our elections. If your state isn't among that group, why not? Why does it need private funding? Why doesn't it care that those funds might have strings attached like in 2020?

All of this was justified because of the pandemic. They don't have that anymore. But never to fear. Three years ago, Joe Biden issued an executive order titled, "Promoting Access to Voting."

Its stated goal was to "promote and defend the right to vote," and Biden directed every agency in government to participate.

It aint looking good for Jim Crow Joe. And this poll is from CNN. The democRATs are going to need to find a lot of ballots after they send the Republican scrutineers home if they want to hold onto the white house.

Trump's support in the poll among registered voters holds steady at 49% in a head-to-head matchup against Biden, while Biden's stands at 43%.

Looking back, 55% of all Americans now say they see Trump's presidency as a success, while 44% see it as a failure. Assessing Biden's time in office so far, 61% say his presidency thus far has been a failure, while 39% say it's been a success.

Among all voters, when independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are included in the matchup, Trump holds 42% to Biden's 33%, with Kennedy at 16%, West at 4% and Stein at 3%. Kennedy draws 13% each from supporters of Biden and Trump in the initial two-way matchup.

Kari Lake is hoping to flip the Arizona US Senate seat being vacated by Kyrsten Sinema. But a new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey shows that she's not consolidating the GOP base. The poll shows her likely Democratic opponent, Ruben Gallego, winning 15% of GOP voters.

Ruben Gallego is plastering commercials all over tv pretending to be the wholesome family man who bleeds red white and blue and helps little old ladies across the street and a whole lot of other bullcrap he's never been or done. I got so sick of it I turned off the news and went to watch Gomer Pyle on MeTv only to see another one of his commercials there. I swear to god I'm about to go Al Bundy on that damn tv.
