trust in Arizona elections

Arizona has been at the epicenter of false claims of voter fraud since the 2020 presidential elections, rhetoric that persists as the swing state braces for the rematch of a presidential contest that triggered chaos and conspiracy theories nearly four years ago. [SNIP] Garrett Archer, an ABC15 data analyst and a former senior elections analyst for the Arizona secretary of state, recalled claims of rigged elections dating back to the 2000s, but said they didn’t compare to the supercharged allegations of voter fraud fueled by Trump, his former attorney Rudy Giuliani and high-profile republicans in Arizona. Archer said the false claims “blew up,” and ignited demonstrations across Phoenix.

Are they the same one's who have been telling us for the last 4 years that Biden is one of the sharpest people in politics? I don't think they have much credibility.

I guarantee that these same people will be screaming for recounts and court challenges if Trump wins by a narrow margin in Arizona. They hide behind the illusion that counting all ballots is a fair process. Well-documented independent audits in Arizona and other swing states showed a loss of integrity in the mail-in ballot counting procedures that undermined the public's trust in their certifiability. The country was gaslighted into accepting the results of a defective process. You can say the election was fair until you are blue in the face, but the truth is what survives. If a significant number of people perceive the election was unfair, and there is no attempt to address this perception in a non-partisan authoritative way, it will remain in our collective memory as truth.

False claims? Election laws changed by officials, not legislatures, to increase voting days, no excuse mail in ballots sent to everyone, voter rolls not cleaned, illegals added to voter rolls, vote counts made by partisans, no audits of election results, recounts that do nothing but recount the illegal votes, no signature verification, lockouts of Republican oversight, Republicans who sign off on election counts after threats to themselves and their families, vote counts disclosed to Democrat operatives before an election is called, Democrat DA's elected by Soros that will not enforce any election laws, no voter ID, more votes than registered voters in many places, ballots mailed to post office boxes and vacant lots, corrupt mail personnel that do not collect or throw away ballots, double and triple scans of ballots at vote counting centers, candidates selected by party machinery not voters. That is a short list of why elections are nothing but frauds.

To this day, do they ever put the word "False" in any story about Hillarys election claims, including, "Donald Trump knows he's not the legitimate president." No. They only editorialize to add power to their reporting when they want you to disbelieve your own eyeballs.

Residents of the west-central town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of the Haitian immigrants that have flooded the city. [SNIP] The town situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus has been a target of Haitian immigrants at least since 2014, and in the ensuing years, some ten thousand had moved to the Rust Belt town. But in the last four years alone, that population has ballooned to more than 20,000. The influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town.

France is on the verge of a “financial crisis” and consequent economic decline after the surprise success of a hard left coalition in this weekend’s elections, the country’s outgoing finance minister Bruno Le Maire has warned. [SNIP] In a possible hint at future chaos, riot police clashed with left-wing demonstrators in Paris on Sunday evening. The hastily assembled Popular Front (NFP) - spearheaded by left-wingers including former Presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon - is pledging to increase public spending by £125 billion if they successfully form a government. They have also proposed a 90 percent tax on incomes over £340,000 a year.

At the annual assembly of the National Education Association (NEA) in Philadelphia last weekend, President Becky Pringle addressed representatives of the three-million-member labor union with a bombastic speech that sparked social media comparisons to Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. In her heavily political speech, Pringle raised such progressive issues as LGBTQ rights, unrestricted abortion, equity and inclusion. She shouted about the union having “worked hard to rid ourselves of a tyrannical, deceitful, and corrupt [Trump] White House,” about resisting any “scheme” such as school vouchers to “drain resources from our beloved public schools."

Gag orders, constitutionally dubious, are meant to protect the integrity of a judicial proceeding. However, even with the trial over, the gag orders imposed on former President Trump are not going away. DA Bragg’s office (which had just freed the antisemitic Columbia Hamas rioters) demanded a continuation of the gag order which prohibits him from commenting on the individuals involved in the trial. Since Trump is also running for president and Biden is spending $50 million to attack him over the various Democrat trials imposed on him, this effectively bans a presidential candidate from debating a campaign issue.

In 2022, the Washington Examiner's Becket Adams reported that the Marine Corps Band was instructed to compose an entrance theme for First Lady Jill Biden. The song, Fanfare for the First Lady, was intended to be a counterpoint to the president's Hail to the Chief. But of course, the president is the elected commander in chief, and the First Lady is more of an honorary post. Many of those in the Marine Corps Band said they'd never been asked to do an exclusive First Lady entrance theme before. "Someone in the White House apparently 'had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,'' a source said.

There is one key reason why President Biden is stubbornly insisting — despite calls from some fellow Democrats to step aside — that he will not drop out of his race for reelection: Jill Biden. The first lady is clearly the driving force behind his stumbling, grumbling, bumbling, mumbling bid for a second term despite obvious signs that he is not up to the rigors of the world’s toughest job for four more years. Jill hungrily appears to want to cling to the White House more tenaciously than Mr. Biden. She clearly loves the public spotlight and the perks of the office too much to let them go.
