Apologies for the late response. I&#039;ve never been on social media and don&#039;t have cable or watch TV, so am already not doing that. I am a big user of Amazon Prime, however. Like you, I have started shopping locally.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Om, your comments dont make any sense. Are you trying to duplicate this ymar yammer thing you are stuck on? Because when you end up with the cabal for another 26k years, you can only get ymar with pyschotronics. Struggle sessions will be insufficient.

The comedy is not very good from your yammering the same line.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nancy B.,

Many thanks for sharing your and your husband&#039;s experience and confirming my suspicions. Depressing, but not surprising.

D.C. and environs--Panem on the Potomac--may be a lost cause for now, although I&#039;m hoping the House, Senate, and SCOTUS will be able to hold the line for the next few years should Biden/Harris &#038; Co. survive legal challenges in the swing states. Whatever happens, we should be focusing our efforts on building unity among the Red states and especially on cultivating governors like Kristi Noem. More traction there, probably, and without the swamp taint. And, of course, on building alternative media channels.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hubert:  The odor of the GOP swamp in that automatic $1000 check off is strong indeed.  I&#039;m convinced people within the Trump campaign were working against him.  My husband, in the flush of some Dem outrage or other contributed a not-huge, but recordable, amount of money to the campaign.  The attempts to raise further money from him were unbelievably ghastly -- seemingly (and I almost think deliberately) designed to both piss off and demoralize his supporters.  At all hours of the day and night, texts arrived, often ten at a time, usually in the form of dunning letters &quot;THIS IS YOUR FINAL NOTICE,&quot; when they weren&#039;t whining: &quot;We Have Missed Our Goal,&quot; or cheezy:  &quot;Contribute and enter our sweepstakes to win!&quot;  Not a single positive, straight, message.

My speculation (and it&#039;s only that) is that Trump, as a condition of non-impeachment, was all along under the RNC thumb.  After the inauguration, my husband tried to volunteer to work at the WH.  At the meeting for volunteers, he was told that any vocal support of Trump was forbidden on the job.  They also wanted a non-disclosure agreement.  He left.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;It’s not really rational....&quot;

If one is so inclined, there may be some or quite a bit or even quite a lot to object to or to dislike about Trump. 
However, the role of the &quot;24/7 HATE&quot; media CANNOT be exaggerated in elevating this dislike to extreme level of hatred for him and his supporters (who are projected as being cut from the same cloth).

Thus the MSCM has been steadily, consistently generating  Trump-hatred and raising to feverish, hysterical levels; while also using this strategy to protect the gangsters in the Democratic Party mafia, who likewise promote the strategy to fulfil their grandiose, often criminal, ambitions and to cover up their malevolence and crimes.

					<description><![CDATA[I agree that Biden is essentially a zero to most of these voters.  What drove them is extreme Trump hatred.  It drove some former GOP people also, and that I will never understand.  Even if you don&#039;t like the man&#039;s personality or tweets, any conservative should see his accomplishments in appointing judges, ordering the goverment to sto pusing CRT --Critical Race Theory training,  derregulating the economy and helping to make the US energy independent.  Then, there&#039;s the Iran deal being debunked and Iran being muzzled.  There&#039;s so much really.  So I don&#039;t get how some like conservative writer Claire Berlinski can go off the rails about how horrible Trump is, when really he&#039;s been so very effective.  But Trump has had people foaming at the mouth since he was elected.  It&#039;s not really rational.  So yes, Biden was just a convenience.  Kamala is someone the left doesn&#039;t trust, at least the far left, since she has an authoritarian streak.  She&#039;s also reliably voted left however in the Senate.  But she&#039;s not a real likable person.  She makes Hillary Clinton look like a charm queen.  At any rate, TDS drove these folks to vote for Biden and many did. 

However, I do think there was fraud, not sure how much, but it may have made a difference.  I honestly don&#039;t know.   I hope we can find out.]]></description>

Me too.

I intend to do so.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sharon W. and Om,

Since you have posted about contributing to the legal challenge effort, here&#039;s what I was able to find. Please read to the end for some pretty large caveats.

It appears that you can donate to the &quot;Donald J. Trump Official Election Defense Fund&quot; through the Donald J. Trump website at:

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/

In order to ensure that it&#039;s a one-time contribution, be very sure to UN-CHECK the boxes authorizing weekly recurring contributions through December 14 AND an additional automatic $1,000 donation (!) on November 11 before providing your credit card information.

You can also mail a check to &quot;Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.&quot; in NYC; or the &quot;Trump Make America Great Again Committee&quot; in D.C. The mailing addresses for both are provided.

This appears to be a joint DJT-RNC initiative, and the RNC&#039;s (probably necessary, unfortunately) involvement means that there is an odor of swamp about it. For example: the online defaults authorizing automatic recurring credit card payments are a tacky touch and may hurt people who can ill afford it. Also, be sure to read the fine print at the bottom of the online donation page about how your contribution will be allocated. Basically, it looks like the RNC is trying to make sure that it gets its cut. You may be OK with that. Personally, I&#039;d rather donate exclusively to Trump&#039;s legal fund or to the Republican candidates in upcoming senate races (e.g. Georgia) and leave the RNC completely out of it.

Bottom line: there may be better, more-focused ways to support Trump and his legal team in this effort. I&#039;d be interested in hearing from others on this blog on that point.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[John G links to The American Thinker. Short version: Given that the cheating Dem vote resulted in too many narrow “wins,” Biden is vulnerable.

So, if Pennsylvania is flipped, then it is only 270EV for Biden. Any more loss, he looses.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
So today, I started to dig into the numbers, and as I did, I fought my confirmation bias at every step.  

I realized that I, like millions of others, had been numbed into despondency by the overwhelming press, media, social media push to certify President-Elect Biden.  (I put that in there so you can see how repellent it is.)

Hey guys, this thing is not only not over; it is scary for Biden.  I mean really scary, and most of all, the media know it.  Thus, the rush to get everyone in line with the narrative that a 78-year-old, early-dementia former V.P., who could not draw a crowd larger than a dozen, just beat D.J. in a fair election.

Process that for a moment.

Start with Pennsylvania.  Biden, as of this writing, is at 290 electoral votes.  Pennsylvania is 20.

I read the Justice Alito opinion, and it is pretty clear that he wants the after election night at 8:00 P.M. votes separated for a reason.  Biden is going to lose at the Supreme Court, and they know it.  Four justices already said the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cannot adjust voting rules.   A new arrival, Justice Barrett, says she is there to apply the rules in the Constitution.  OK, wanna bet she does?

Remove the after 8:00 P.M. ballots, and Biden loses Pennsylvania.  Biden 270.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Flip Penn plus one and President elect-by-Fraud is over.

Anyone else see that someone in the UK flew an airplane dragged banner reading “WORLD KNOWS TRUMP WON #MAGA”? (A photo appeared in The Independent. Elsewhere too)
