We Are Being Lied To, But Then YOU Already Knew That

Earlier this week we saw a very quiet correction to a sensational WaPo story published earlier about President Trump and the Georgia election. Apparently exposing Pravda style reporting by the newspaper of record in the nation’s capital is of little interest to the masses. 

“Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump’s December phone call with the state’s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source. Trump did not tell the investigator to ‘find the fraud’ or say she would be ‘a national hero’ if she did so.

“Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find ‘dishonesty’ there. He also told her that she had ‘the most important job in the country right now…’ The headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.”

The story, part of the Post’s scorched-earth coverage of the former president’s activities in the aftermath of the disputed 2020 election, sought to depict Trump in the worst possible light, while relying entirely on anonymous “sources” who had a vested interest in destroying the Trump presidency.

But then, it was just a lie and why make a big deal of something that you can’t do anything about now anyway?

Oh, and then there was this story yesterday about Michigan’s Secretary of State deliberately breaking the law in order to produce more (illegitimate) votes in the state (for Biden).

A judge in Michigan has vindicated President Trump by ruling that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, broke state law when she unilaterally changed election rules concerning absentee balloting in the 2020 election. This ruling legitimizes a key claim made by the Trump legal team in its challenges to the 2020 election.

A major change imposed by Benson was loosening the signature verification requirement for absentee ballots. Michigan Court of Claims Chief Judge Christopher Murray ruled that this change violated Michigan Administrative Procedures Act.

“This is not the role of the Secretary of State, and there is a clear process that must be respected. Unfortunately, Secretary of State Benson has a pattern of not respecting that process. She issued a mandatory directive requiring local election officials to apply a presumption of validity to all signatures on absent voter ballots, but there is nothing within state law allowing for that type of power from her position. As a result, this directive was found to be not in accordance with our laws and not valid.”

So far not even as much as a “sorry” from the SoS or her office. And why should there be, they accomplished their objective.

Over 3.1 million Michiganders voted by absentee ballot in November. Biden “won” the state by just over 154,000 votes, according to the state-certified results.

So what if Benson unlawfully changed the State’s voting laws making hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots legal? Their guy won and there’s nothing anybody can do about it now anyway.

If you expect honor and honesty in elections that Democrats control you’ve come to the wrong place. The devils with the D after their name have been lying, cheating and stealing elections to the best of their abilities for as long as you can remember. Take the chicanery of Harry Reid for instance. During his years in the Senate he regularly lied about the opposition on the floor – where his slander and defamation was protected from lawsuits by the Speech and Debate Clause. Democrats see that as a right to lie with impunity – as Harry did in the 2012 presidential campaign when he declared that “the word is out that [Mitt Romney] hasn’t paid any taxes for ten years.” It was a blatant lie that even the WaPo issued a 4 Pinocchio rating to. But that didn’t matter, once you throw the chum in the waters of the media cesspool such lies are quickly embraced as “My Truth” by the propagandists and the burden of proof is transferred to the unjustly accused.

So what if years later Senator Dirty Harry admitted it was a lie and he made the entire thing up? He was in fact proud of it: 

"Romney didn't win, did he?" Reid said in response to Bash's question of whether he regretted what he had said about Romney.

He elaborated:

“It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done…if you’re going to do something, don’t do it half-assed, don’t play around. With the Mitt Romney stuff, I didn’t play around.”

It was too late to do anything about it anyway.

That in a nutshell is the endgame of Democrat politics: the ends always justify the means. And the only acceptable end is ‘we win, you lose.’ It’s hard to run a republic – or any kind of “democratic” government - under those terms. And make no mistake: those are the terms of tyrants. They were warmly embraced by Obama and now by Democrats everywhere.

But remember: Trump is the Nazi, and we are the tyrants. We better see what we can do about it before it’s really too late.

“This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.” – Ronald Reagan, 1964
