GOP Must Make Stand for Election Integrity

 The Presidential election will officially be over when the January 6, 2021 session of Congress to count electoral votes is concluded.

Many key Republican elected officials have been a major disappointment in this election cycle. This includes legislators, governors, and secretaries of state.

Republican legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin failed to take strong action to appoint the Trump/Pence slate of electors and negate the appointment of Biden/Harris electors on the grounds of unlawfully implemented voting regulations or outright election fraud. Any honest count of the legitimate votes in those states would have given the election to Trump in every one of them.

Other elected officials such as Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger of Georgia presided over, tolerated, and certified Democrats stealing the presidential election right under their noses.

President Trump failed to have the Justice Department ready to intervene at the first sign of election fraud on election day. US marshals should have been ready to deploy to election sites and vote counting centers using force, if needed, to counter the force employed by local Democrats to cover election fraud. This includes using US marshals to force local governments to allow Republican election observers in vote counting centers and securing ballot counting locations to prevent fraudulent ballots from being brought in and counted.

The US Supreme Court and lower federal courts and state courts acted improperly by not allowing legitimate challenges to corrupt elections to even get a hearing in court. The courts turned a blind eye to obvious illegalities in the “official” voting procedures as well as obvious election fraud. Apparently, justice is truly blind when leftists and RINOs are breaking the law in a way that favors the left.

Challenges to the electors in Congress will fail because the House of Representatives is controlled by Democrats and will support the Democrat slates of electors regardless of any evidence of illegal conduct or outright fraud. Even if Republicans in the Senate manage to get 51 votes in favor of a challenge, the current law states that the slate of electors sent by the executive authority of the state will be used if the two houses of Congress disagree. Since Republican legislators failed to file a lawsuit to get this provision of the law ruled unconstitutional, the law will give Biden the electors since the House of Representatives will vote for those electors. The law could be challenged because the Constitution gives the legislatures power to appoint electors – not the executive authority of a state. However, without a legal challenge, the unconstitutional law will stand. Given the cowardice of the US Supreme Court, it is likely that they would do whatever they could to avoid ruling on a lawsuit or would rule against Republican legislators anyway. However, Republican legislators should have filed the lawsuit to do everything THEY could to prevent the election from being stolen.

The only way that President Trump can win the presidency on the January 6, 2021 session of Congress is for Democrats to develop a conscience. There is no way that will happen.

Another route to victory would be very aggressive and could trigger a civil war immediately rather than later. President Trump could order arrests of Democrat and RINO members of Congress on felony charges of some sort such as espionage or accepting bribes and hold them in custody until the certification of electors and counting their votes was completed. The President could arrest enough Democrats and RINOs ensure that he would have majorities voting in both houses of Congress. This would be an unprecedented use of Presidential power, but could be legally justified based on Chinese involvement with Democrats (and some Republicans). In effect, this would allow the President to steal back the election from Democrats who have stolen the election with illegal voting. After all, the brazen illegalities and fraud used by Democrats to steal the election are also unprecedented in their scale if not the individual acts. From a moral perspective, there is no problem with this since the Democrats took morality out of the election process with their illegal election activities. This would result in significant rioting, but the President would have to take off the kid gloves when dealing with rioters at this point. If he would not forcefully put down riots, there is no point in even going down this route. There would also be possible court challenges, but forceful persuasion of cowardly justices, especially after forcefully putting down riots, could result in the court refusing to hear the case or ruling in the President’s favor. If you are going to steal back the election, you need to commit to that course of action without any reservation.

The likely outcome of Congress counting the electoral votes is that Biden will win the Presidential election. Republicans should file objections to the contested slates of electors and make a record showing why they believe Biden’s election is illegitimate. Republicans cannot take this theft lying down with no objections if they hope to be taken seriously in the future by anyone of any party. In fact, any Republican members of Congress not supporting the challenges should be targeted for primaries or other actions to remove them from office, and they should never get Republican support again. This is the very least Republicans can do. If the Republican Party does not disavow Republicans who vote against the challenges, then the Republican Party will be dead even if it still runs around for a while like a chicken with its head cut off.

TSA Employees Finally Getting Paid What They are Worth

The government shutdown has caused TSA employees to not get paid. Considering that they provide negative overall value to the nation and travelers, they are still technically getting over paid. However, getting them to pay travelers is not feasible. They generally provide very little protection for the inconvenience and humiliation they inflict on travelers. The real security in an airplane cabin is a secure cockpit and passengers who will fight hijackers to the death now that we know what they are up to. I'm also still waiting to hear a good explanation of why banning pocket knives from aircraft and other great TSA ideas enhances our security. Basic TSA-Pre screening without those ridiculously expensive scanners (also known as what was done before 9-11) is also perfectly adequate. The Huffington Post has a whiny article about the TSA employees not getting paid. Of course, all government employees including those not actually showing up for work will get back pay once the approp

Arizonans are Taxed Enough

This is a response to this opinion piece in the Jewish News of Greater Phoenix. In his opinion piece, “Taxes Far More Than Necessary Evil,” Rabbi Strauss demonstrates why he should stick to his “day job” as a synagogue spiritual leader. His writing on both Halacha and tax issues is filled with misinformation and erroneous reasoning. Rabbi Strauss cites the tax to support the Mishkan as proof that taxes have been a legitimate part of Jewish life since we left Egypt. Of course, that was a poll tax that was imposed on every adult male regardless of income or wealth. He goes on to immediately say that Jewish sources tell us that there is an obligation to provide universal education and health care for the poor – using taxes to finance it. His Jewish sources must be liberal Jewish editorial writers since the Torah requires only supporting Torah education rather than general education – and only in cases where the family is unable to afford it. According to our tradition, parents have

Turn the Tables on Biden in the Debate

 In the Presidential Debate tonight, President Trump should turn the tables on Joe Biden.  Do you remember the ridiculous question in the first debate asking Trump to denounce White Supremacy groups as if there were any doubt on his position? Trump has denounced them consistently and clearly. In fact, the question should have been directed at Joe Biden who has worked closely with KKK leader Robert Byrd in the Senate as well as other White Supremacists and regularly uses bigoted language. Trump, when he inevitably gets a question like that should not even answer it. Instead, he should point to his consistent record against racism, admonish the moderator for being sloppy by not referencing those statements, and tell the moderator he should be asking Joe Biden that question. Mention Joe Biden’s friendships with KKK and other racist senators. Reference Joe’s language such as “whether you are poor or white” and “there is little diversity in the black community” with respect to culture and
