So, the election.

 

My prediction was pretty much on the nose.  President Trump would win election night, then enough votes would be ‘found’ to pull Biden over the finish line.

Sure enough…  Those votes were ‘found’.  Larry Corriea, who was an accountant among other hats before he became a professional author, lists a number of them here.  In case it was missed, all these statistical anomalies point in one direction.  So not only are there an improbable number of anomalies, they all benefit Biden.  To someone who isn’t a screaming partisan, it should raise eyebrows. That’s before the videos… Tangent, let’s not forget why the Democrats wanted the Green Party off the ballot.

Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.  So these anomalies need to be investigated, will they?  OF course not.  The 105% precinct for Obama weren’t contested by Mitt Romney, the GOPe bends over.  That’s why people voted for President Trump he fights.  Proving fraud is easy, we’ve the affidavits and the video.  Proving fraud enough to shift popular opinion?  That’s hard enough when the media and your own party aren’t wanting you out of office.  So I think we’re stuck with President Harris.

Or as I’ll call her, “President Cock Holster.”  Hey, no one was outraged when Bill Maher called President Trump that.  Fair’s fair.  Of course that she actually was Willie Browns mistress…

Some people have compared President Trump to Ronald Magnus, but I think a historic President has some more similarities, President John Tyler.

Both President Trump and President Tyler came to power unexpectedly.  Both were not accepted by their party.  In President Tyler’s case he was cast out, in President Trump’s case, he was just held at arm’s length by the establishment, what has been called “GOPe”.  Both men were States Rights, and, ironically, like President Tyler, President Trump’s greatest victories came from foreign policy.  Getting NATO allies to pay closer to their fair share, sanctions against Russia, tariffs on China, and spreading peace, both in Europe and the Middle East, are examples of President Trump’s successes.  Notice how they didn’t make big news?  President Trump changed the world, for the better.  Also how many conflicts have been initiated in the past 4 years by the US?

So what do we have to look forward to with President Harris?  Nothing good I fear. 

  • We’ll see the removal of due process in universities.  Young men like Paul Nungesser will continue to be persecuted with no process, no right to see their accusers or evidence on university grounds.
  • We’re already seeing a return to “No worse ally, no better enemy,” foreign policy.  The talk of treating the PLO like they aren’t a terrorist organization, rejoining the farce of an Iran treaty.  Terrorists are celebrating.
  • Due process is just the beginning. President Cock Holster is on record to wanting to use EOs to seize guns, her persecution of journalists as AG in California is well documented, as is the left’s assaults on religious freedom.  From singling out churches in California, to the persecution of the Jewish citizens of New York, the only amendment the left likes is the 5th.  If (big if, considering the efforts by the Democrat machine) the Republicans can hold Georgia, then  at least the destruction of the Republic can be slowed.
  • Enemies lists.  We’re already seeing the howls from elected officials, and others, to ‘hold accountable’ people who worked in the current administration, or even supported them.
  • Rewriting of history.  Already the Media is pretending that 2000 and 2016 never happened. Gay groups are erasing Richard Grenell and falsely claiming Biden is the first President to support gay marriage before taking office.  Celebrities are pretending there was no vitriol aimed at President Trump

So we’re facing fraud, persecution and gaslighting.  What can we do?

  • Stay engaged.  Both with each other and with your local politicians.  The ones you can reach, be civil, even when you strongly disagree.  The ones who don’t reply, to quote Maxine Waters “get in their faces, make them uncomfortable.”  My former congressional Rep, Joyce Beatty, is an anti-Semite and won’t denounce her fellow bigots.  My former state congresswoman, Mary Lightbody is a liberal democrat, but one who will at least listen to her constituents’ concerns.  This holds true down to the town level.  Get involved!  Go to tow meetings, meet and greets with politicians.  Be visible, but polite.
  • Stay engaged with each other Facebook and Twitter are compromised, so make sure you keep other methods, MeWe, Parler, Gab are all less censory than FB or Twitter.  Plus there’s phones, Keep circulating the tapes.  Don’t let the victors get away with rewriting history.
  •  Guard your privacy.  Now more than ever, VPNs and encrypted e-mail are a boon.  I use Protonmail and ProtonVPN and fully support their efforts.
  • Remember, we’re not alone.  70 million people voted for peace and prosperity, in the face of a relentless onslaught of how a dementia patient and an anti-free press, anti free speech, anti-Constitution VP pick would be better.  Be a warrior, but a happy warrior.

Well, we’re two weeks into the new home, and no regrets.

It still needs a lot of work, we had to replace the stairs on the deck, good enough to fool the FHA inspector, but they fell apart and almost took out Tea’s good ankle.  Guy did good work though.  We’ve some issues with the plumbing we’re going to address, and the electric is going to be overhauled to get up to my specifications. (I run a lot of electronics of course and want an upgraded fuse box to handle the load.

We’ve had some setbacks, we didn’t realize the garage was all on one circuit, so we lost some meat in the chest freezer.  Also, Jasper seems to have a skill for stepping on Tea’s bad ankle, though he feels bad about it later.  He’s also been a bit less social towards the neighbor dogs, I’m planning to work more on socializing him.  We’ve a playground next door I can take him to run around and work on the nails.

We’re slowly getting the place into shape.  In having the electric done, I’ve decided the office will have an old style push button switch instead of a flip switch.  I’ve also ordered faux brass plate covers for the outlet and light switch.  I like the idea of my office having those early 20th century touches, while holding all the 21st century hardware.  Likewise, we’re replacing some of the bulbs in the lights with smart bulbs, again because of the age of the house and locations of switches.  We’ll need to have another Dot or two.  By the time I’m done the Wi-Fi will reach the Garage and they’re perfect for intercoms.

Teaera’s brought her own unique set of skills to making this a home.  She’s a much better housekeeper than I (A low bar I know) and she’s a skill in comparison shopping I lack.  It’s good to be able to stretch our food budget, and she’s an eye for deals.  She’s also excited to help put the home touches on and renovate the place.  Once we’re presentable, there will be pictures, promise.

I’d like to take a moment to thank people who made this possible.

Leslie Neal, who helped me sell the condo and close that chapter of my life.  It was a learning experience for us both. If you’re buying or selling in Central Ohio, look her up and tell her I sent you. Of course we’ve known each other for 40 years or so…

Tony Norris, who helped me find this place after the previous SE Ohio realtor I used flaked out on me. If you’re looking for a place in South East Ohio, look him up.  Nice guy, wears many hats and works his aft off.

Tim and Jen and Clan Rickey.  Guys, we couldn’t have made that last push w/o you, and I still owe you that dinner in Zanesville.  Just pick a Sunday and we’ll do it.

Tony and Kim McFarland.  Two more of my dearest friends.  I’d never expected you to foister the lummox for so long and will be glad to bring him home and take him off your hands.

John and Angie Greener.  Thank you for fostering the Asscat.  I’ll be back soon to pick him up. 

And of course, my dearly departed Rebecca.  I was asked why I called the move, Operation: Thanos.  The plan was of course for us to start our new lives post cancer together.  My life didn’t end with hers, but I wished it had.  I’d promised her I’d go on, get out of the condo, get our family back.  I did it dear, but it cost me… everything.
