Roundup
(1) Tomorrow’s election in Wisconsin is very high stakes. Control of the US House may depend on it. And I’m worried about these special elections; they seem to be going the Democrats’ way due to greater motivation. That’s hard for me to understand and very disturbing; I think everyone on the right should still be highly motivated to vote.
(2) At this point, is anyone surprised at this news?:
The reason SS recipients now have to personally come to an office to change their banking info if they wanted a bank deposit address changed was because of the rampant phone fraud the DOGE team had uncovered almost immediately. Forty percent of ALL CALLS were fraudulent efforts to change direct deposit info. …
… [And] the Biden administration in 2024 – one year – gave 2.1 MILLION NON-CITIZENS social security numbers.
But legal immigrants with jobs can often get Social Security numbers, so why should that be a problem? Well, apparently some of them have voted.
I’ve read a few articles about this so far, and it’s unclear whether they’re talking about legal or illegal arrivals. Plus, what were the figures during the first Trump administration? I saw a comment somewhere that said they were also high, but I haven’t been able to discover whether or not that’s true. So that’s why I’m focusing on the voting issue.
(3) Yarden Bibas was told by his sadistic and barbaric captors that he could get a new wife and new, better children.
(4) DOGE will be looking at why so many members of Congress amass such fortunes.
(5) The FBI under Kash Patel:
Arrest of the top MS-13 leader in the United States, Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos.
Arrest of three fugitives on the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted list – that’s almost a third of the list nailed at a stroke.
A successful raid and arrest of 22 members of a drug trafficking operation run by suspected violent drug cartel members in Lubbock, Texas.
Arrests of Tesla vandals and terrorist attackers.
Disruption of a major cryptocurrency scheme reportedly laundering money to support Hamas.
Patel’s list of accomplishments reminds me a bit of the scene from The Untouchables where the Sean Connery character leads Elliot Ness (played by Kevin Costner) on his first liquor raid. It’s like a post office or something on LaSalle St, and Ness says, “Wait a minute. Here?!”, and Connery says, “Mr. Ness, everyone knows where the liquor is, it’s just a matter of who wants to cross Capone.”
#2, there was no such thing as an “illegal” arrival in the sense that the Biden administration waived strict interpretations of the immigration laws and considered pretty much everyone arriving as permitted, pending review. We’re way too busy to start the reviews, so I guess you might as well make yourselves at home!
Re #4
Better look at the judges too, starting with Jane Roberts and influence peddling. It seems like everyone in DC has first degree relatives either influence peddling or with their snout in the NGO-taxpayer looting-money-laundering racket.
No. 2 – My Wife was a Public School Teacher for 30 yrs (before things went woke). She receives a pension that is categorized as “Govt”, so she doesn’t receive SS. Until now that is. I guess the law was changed. Early in March she received a back pay settlement from SS, for the period 12/23 to 01/25. She will receive SS payment from now on starting this April. I found out about it when the payment landed in our Bank account. I called SS and after over 80 min I got a call back. The SS agent was very nice, informative, helpful. She said a letter was going out that day, which we received several days later. The interesting, scary part was that the back payment went into our joint bank account without us providing the info. My SS goes into that account. They just followed my info. Yes very scary.
I shall be voting for Brad Schimmel as soon as I get off work at 0700.
I hope that every illegal is returned to his or her own country, that every dime is recovered, that any illegal voter is prosecuted.
All that aside, where is this claim coming from that changing bank accounts for direct deposit requires a personal visit to Social Security office? I have seen that statement several times today. I recently asked for my check to go to a different account, and it was all done online. It did take 3 months to complete the change, but it did get done.
Is it just that they no longer allow it to be done by phone? That would make sense.
1) And I’m worried about these special elections; they seem to be going the Democrats’ way due to greater motivation. That’s hard for me to understand and very disturbing; I think everyone on the right should still be highly motivated to vote.
Yes, well… The Dems are not dumb, about many things. (Not everything, it seems.) Nothing is more motivating than white hot hatred. Which is why the Dems are always whipping that up.
Second, corporate titans and their investors used to, by-and-large, understand the wisdom of conservative principles. But now, with wealthy true believer lefties such Abigail Disney and the enormous wealth of a George Soros (who’s motivation I don’t understand) the left has more money to spend on these things. (BTW, those two never actually built anything themselves.)
Thirdly, and I’m flogging an old horse here, it may be more of a case of getting out the fraud, rather than getting out the vote. Wisconsin? Not an exemplar of ethical politics and elections.
The Dems are making every special election into a national contest and dumping metric tons of cash into every race. They may not be able to keep up that intensity forever. But it would be foolish to count on that. There’s too many of us who think that dragging Trump across the finish line in 2024 was all we had to do and now he and DOGE will fix it all for us.
But now, with wealthy true believer lefties such Abigail Disney

Abigail Disney is an heiress with no history of employment at Disney.
…no history of employment at Disney.
Exactly.
Imagine that, the FBI fighting crime!
You can’t complain if people compete to win elections. The Trump Government has thrived on radical moves so it is no surprise there will be a reaction.
If, and it’s a very big and hardly likely if, the Republicans lose these elections, that’s just democracy in action.
Choosing Cabinet members from a House with a very thin majority always had a risk.
Voters may well look at Tariffs, DOGE cuts, Signal, inflation and markets drifting down and wonder if a House placing limits on Trump and his EOs might be a good idea.
You might not agree but it is hardly surprising, and the US is still a democracy.

Nice of you to pretend ballot security is not an issue.
Re: (1) – This is interesting commentary on how the Trump era Republican and Democratic parties have flipped on voter engagement and the utility of high-turn out elections.
For most of the 2000s, Republicans have done very well in Congressional elections, especially in off years, while Democrats have been much more competitive in presidential elections. If this analysis is correct, that may be about to flip.
Add that dynamic to the backlash to Trump among Democrats, and the next few years could be very rough indeed for the GOP.

The last time in 2012 the gope prevailed because the rural vote was reported last
Then the progs stacked the court and stole the state in 2018
When I want to know what’s really going on I always turn to sources like “Liberal Patriot” who of course could be totally trusted on what actions best conservatively conserve conservatism.
Sounds legit! True conservatives should always roll over to the Deep State, and when they do have a majority make sure to cement in place all of progressives’ abuses instead of rolling anything back or retaliating in kind.
With good advice like that should be smooth sailing for True Conservatives!

Shocking. Or another April Fools?
The “tribe” I associate with calls one party the stupid party and the other party the evil party. Guess which is which.
