I’m no math whiz; but I’m pretty sure The White House is trying to tell us (in the graphic attached) that 9 of these 12 people, who are alleged to have committed election fraud, are Honest to Goodness, Real Americans.
You see what they’re saying here - 12 people were charged, 3 of them are Aliens.
That means 9 of them are from this planet … uh, this country. I have never understood this unnatural, unwelcoming feeling toward immigrants.
People who came here for a better life.
People like my and your ancestors. Unless you are Native American - and, even then, they probably came across the land bridge.
What our United States is going to find, after the Era of Mass Deportation is over (not "just" the criminals any more), is that we sent out of our country some of the most hard-working, potentially-great Americans that we ever could have wanted — remember, according to The White House “just” 3 out of 12 were not of this country, who are alleged to have committed election fraud.
It will be interesting to see the political party affiliations of the Election Fraud 9, when they stand trial on federal charges of tampering with … which election?
And, when they go to court, if their defense will be, "I thought I was eligible to vote - I'm certainly eligible to pay taxes (the old Taxation without Representation thing)."
Speaking of Court: Just remember now, in the United States today, children as young as 2 years old REPRESENT THEMSELVES in immigration courts. If they have a lawyer, that lawyer appears by remote control — an aside, everybody mocks a lawyer, until you need one.
The fact that children stand before judges ALONE - often in what recent reporting has shown are secret courts in NYC and DC where even the lawyers are turned away, and the idea of "innocent until proven guilty" has gone by the wayside - is not among the accomplishments that The White House sent out the other day (below). Neither is the fact that The White House pushing the One Big, Ugly Bill (of 2024) opened the way for all these Data Centers that they want to build on every piece of rural land that’s not nailed down. Starting this January, they get even bigger breaks for locating in an "opportunity zone".
They get tax breaks — for “innovation” — for every Data Center they build.
That, alone, has opened the flood-gates of investment - and, with investment, comes pressure to Maximize “return on investment”.
The ultimate, Rich Get Richer scheme (just like the Trump boys investing in government-authorized drones).
On another subject, 1 of the 34 things on the accompanying list that I noticed is number 6.
The federal government has “automatically” enrolled 60 Million children in Trump Accounts. I don’t have children any more - they all are grown adults - but that would scare the bee-jeez outa me.
How did they Know who my children are? (probably has something to do with Flock cameras.)
And, how would they Know that I want them enrolled in something called that?
Apparently, it’s not voluntary.
Also, apparently, you have to "claim" the money - no word yet on who gets the unclaimed money (hint, they are called "Trump Accounts, after all).
Item 4 also deserves a note - the parent company of the company that’s building the steel mill in Iowa, to process the ore dug from the mine in Minnesota, is located in the nation of India. (Nothing against India, I’m sure they are some of the nation’s hardest-working immigrants.)
I just wonder why they couldn’t build the steel mill BESIDE the mine in Minnesota, seems like that would lower hauling costs. Well?, that’s why I am not in the mining business (or the votes-gathering business).
In any case, the “accomplishments” of The White House are not on the Nov. 3 ballot, despite this extremely impressive list (below). Even the President knows it, he said just the other day "I'm not on the ballot" -- that's called deniability -- but he would like people in Alabama and Ohio and Nebraska and Texas and NC and Ohio again and Alaska to pretend he's on the ballot. Just pretend the Iranians have a weapon that could blow up Los Angeles and/or San Diego (which has a huge military presence, not sure what he's implying here, as said by him and reported by the fake news). Any doubt that the President knows he is not running for office goes away when you consider this quote by him, answering a question about the taxpayer-funded ads that promote him: "Well, I'm not running for office, first of all, and so the ads are given by me, but I'm not running for office, and I don't talk about anybody. But when I'm talking about making America great, making our country great, that's a countrywide ad for the spirit of our country."
No, it's not him. Instead, we are being asked to judge the accomplishments of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. And, our State Officials. And, to decide if they are who we want charting the next-few-years’ course of our country, to guide us through a war and to lower prices and police data centers.
Well, are they?
Remember, the President is not on the ballot. What you are deciding is whether or not the Congress that has delivered $4/gallon gasoline and $6/gallon diesel (from Russia) -- and has never once delivered a legally enforceable War Powers authorization to the White House -- deserves more government-paid time in Washington, D.C. In the words of the Vice-President, who also is not a member of Congress but will be the vote-certifying officer in the United States Senate, taking a cue from a beach music classic, "Just give us just a little more time." Not us, White House - it's them, Congress, that he says deserves a little more time.
Well, do they?
