Major Web Archive Attacked Pre-Election: Coincidence?
Posted By: 4250Luis, 11/4/2024 3:51:48 AM
I may be forgiven, I hope, for raising an eyebrow at the curious timing of a large-scale assault on the most prolific and relied-upon web archiving service, Archive.org, which offers a running public record of who said what and when. As an instrument of journalism, web archives can be employed to easily suss out how present narratives or stories presented in corporate media, or anywhere, may conflict with past narratives — in other words, the ultimate check on historical revisionism of the kind that powerful actors engage in regularly.

Kathy Hochul’s ‘anti-American’ gaslighting
— final proof Dems don’t dare discuss

— final proof Dems don’t dare discuss
the real issues 5 replies
Not long after her minions pulled off the five-hour raid that killed P’nut the squirrel and Fred the raccoon, Gov. Hochul took to MSNBC to call out everyone “voting for these Republicans in New York” as “anti-American.”
No wonder she’s one of Joe “Garbage” Biden’s favorite governors.
Still smarting from Nancy Pelosi’s epic slap over helping Republicans take multiple New York seats in the House in 2022, Hochul has gone all-in on flipping some back.
But mostly by not showing up in person: Even lefty Mondaire Jones doesn’t want the “moderate” gov campaigning for him.
The Senate race between Republican newcomer Bernie Moreno and Democratic mainstay Sen. Sherrod Brown has now become the most expensive non-presidential campaign in history at over $500 million, and it may soon be decided by a surprising demographic: Ohio’s surging Hispanic population.
“We’ve been here for 29 years and we’ve never seen so many Latinos. It’s time for change,” said Mercedes Alcantara, co-leader of Mamas and Latinas con Moreno.
“We love him because he’s Latino! We love him because he’s one of us. The Hispanic community needs someone to speak for our issues too,” she added, speaking to The Post at a local rally in Columbus.
Pittsburgh’s Jewish community is putting the Harris-Walz campaign on notice as they hurdle toward Election Day: stand with Israel and denounce anti-Israel activists or you’ll face Democratic defections at the ballot box.
The backlash has been brewing since the Harris campaign hosted speakers at Steel City rallies who had blamed Israel for the October 7 attacks that killed 1,200 people in southern Israel, despite explicit pleas from the Jewish community.
The campaign ignored those pleas, a person familiar with the conversation told The Post, and went on to give speaking roles to Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato, opening for Barack Obama and Tim Walz, respectively.
How Could He Possibly Lose?

You may wonder if it is at all possible that Donald Trump could lose the election after all the polls and positive reactions from his rallies and podcast appearances.
The contrast between his huge rallies and the pitifully attended Harris events that did not have celebrities in posh settings is considerable, but it was the same in 2020.
Joe Biden held his appearances from his basement and rarely appeared in person yet he won, didn’t he?
But in 2024, Trump has the richest and smartest man in the whole world in his camp and set to join him in the new administration to fix this broken, corrupt government.

The Pentagon is shirking its duty when it comes to providing active military members with the fundamental resources necessary to vote, according to three Republican congressmen. Reps. Brian Mast (R-FL), Mike Waltz (R-FL), and Bill Huizenga (R-MI) all signed a letter directed to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding more resources for servicemembers.
“We urge you to mobilize all the necessary resources over the next seven days to give every American citizen wearing our nation’s uniform the opportunity to vote if they so desire, pursuant to all federal and state regulations governing elections,” the letter states.
A Second Amendment and free speech advocate, Lily Tang Williams is the GOP candidate running for United States Congress in New Hampshire District 2. Williams' opponent is part of the D.C. machine: Maggie Goodlander worked as a Senate staffer, a White House aid, and as a deputy assistant attorney general under Attorney General Merrick Garland before resigning to run for the District 2 seat as a Democrat. The seat was held for 12 years by Ann McLane Kuster (D-NH), who announced her retirement from Congress at the end of March.
I’m writing this on the 29th of October. As I wrote last week, I think Donald Trump is going to win. I think he’ll take office in January, but the two months between will be chock full of Democrat tricks trying to delegitimize his victory and coordinated riots seeking to push America into chaos before he’s inaugurated, along with the swamp seeking to do everything it can to insulate itself from the potential consequences of a Trump presidency.
January 20, 2025, will not be a checkered flag moment.
Howard Lutnick, co-chair of the Trump-Vance transition team, said in a Wednesday interview that former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is backing former President Trump, is seeking the federal data to prove vaccines should be kept off the market.
Lutnick added, however, that Kennedy will not get — nor does he want — the job of secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). “He’s not getting a job for HHS,” Lutnick told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, pushing back against the claim that Trump had promised Kennedy the job.

Steve Bannon was released from a Connecticut federal prison early Tuesday after serving four months behind bars for failing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 congressional committee.
“Steve Bannon is a Free Man,” Natalie Winters, who co-hosts the former Trump advisor’s “War Room” podcast, posted on X just after 6 a.m.
The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that Bannon, 70, had been released from the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn., where he’d been since reporting on July 1.

How Progressives Blew It
5 replies
It wasn’t so long ago progressives were riding high. They had a moment; they really did. Their radical views set the agenda and tone for the Democratic Party and, especially in cultural areas, were hegemonic in the nation’s discourse. Building in the teens and cresting in the early ’20s with the Black Lives Matter protests and the heady early days of the Biden administration, very few of their ideas seemed off the table. Defund the police and empty the jails? Sure! Abolish ICE and decriminalize the border? Absolutely! Get rid of fossil fuels and have a “Green New Deal”? Definitely! Demand trillions of dollars for a “transformational”
Three score years ago this Sunday, one of the seminal moments in modern American politics occurred in the service of a presidential campaign that would suffer a resounding defeat. Ronald Reagan’s “A Time for Choosing” broadcast endorsing Barry Goldwater’s unsuccessful candidacy did far more than herald Reagan’s arrival on the national stage. Somewhat paradoxically given its title, Reagan’s speech holds a principled timelessness that makes it as relevant today as it was six decades ago.

With the election just days away, people on both sides are on edge but things are looking very good for Trump.
This is causing widespread panic in Hollywood, one of the most reliably liberal parts of the country. Liberal celebrities have shown over and over again that they will vote Democrat no matter what is happening in the rest of the nation.
Wealthy celebs seem even more out of touch as they do not feel the economic pain that has burdened people everywhere else for over three years now.
If Hollywood is panicked, that is not a good sign for Harris.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul recently appeared on MSNBC and said that if you vote Republican, you’re anti-woman and anti-American.
It has been amazing in this election cycle, how Democrats have become so comfortable insulting and degrading their fellow Americans for the crime of disagreeing with them.
Their deranged rhetoric makes them look very desperate, like they know they’re losing.

Will it Really be a Cliffhanger?

I think it wise to just vote and ignore the polls and pundits, many of whom are dealing from the bottom of the deck and bluffing. I’d also ignore those doomsters who claim on the basis of the 2020 election that it will be stolen. Sure, as I note below, there has been and will be a lot of cheating, but the Republicans are getting better at monitoring it and reducing it. Sure, the press is lying again, but as I show below, the legacy media has blown its credibility and alternate content providers are capturing audiences away from them.
This is what happens when Trump supporters are labeled “garbage,” “Nazis,” and “Fascists” by Democrat leaders and their media stenographers.
A violent leftist was arrested for beating a Trump supporter at a Bath, New York, grocery store on Friday.
60-year-old Robert Yott was arrested on Friday after he became aggressive and confronted a Trump supporter wearing a ‘Trump 2024’ hat at Tops Friendly Markets.
According to police, Yott repeatedly punched the Trump supporter in the face and broke his teeth.
WETM reported:
A Bath man is facing charges after he allegedly attacked a stranger in a grocery store for wearing a Trump hat.

One of the United States’ foremost white supremacists is urging his followers to support Vice President Harris in the presidential election next week.
Richard Spencer, an avowed racist, antisemite and admirer of Nazism who coined the term “alt-right” and was a featured speaker when he took part in the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., called Harris the “best manager of the American empire.”
Spencer — who also gained international recognition after yelling “Hail Trump! Hail our people!” and being greeted with Nazi salutes during a white nationalist event in November 2016 — also condemned former President Trump’s strong support of Israel.
Former President Donald Trump is poised to secure a significant electoral victory, potentially “sweeping battleground states,” according to Rasmussen’s head pollster, who sees the current race favoring Trump in the national popular vote, suggesting a larger “political realignment” is underway, and foreseeing an outcome that could echo — or even exceed — Ronald Reagan’s historic landslide win over Jimmy Carter in 1980.
In a striking forecast days before the 2024 presidential election, Rasmussen’s head pollster, Mark Mitchell, is suggesting that Donald Trump will secure a strong lead nationally and dominate in key battleground states, positioning him for a sweeping victory. Mitchell even foresees a potential flip
In case you have not been paying attention – leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls. This is taking place in state after state.
PENNSYLVANIA
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania city officials announced eight days ago that they were investigating a massive fraudulent voter registration operation investigation involving thousands of fraudulent voter registrations. At least 2,500 ballot registrations were in question.
On Saturday, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania announced that they were also investigating hundreds of fake ballot registrations that were turned in recently by a questionable voter registration group.

Former President Trump invited the members of the Roanoke College women’s swim team who stood up against the radical left after a transgender athlete tried to join their team on the stage at his rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday.
Before bringing the swimmers on stage, Trump reminded the audience of the team’s “brave” stand in defending their rights as female athletes after a trans athlete tried to join their team. “Last year, the radical left’s gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College’s women’s swim team,” Trump said. “I just met them backstage. They’re great swimmers. …
Angry viewers noticed how Kamala Harris' SNL skit appeared to be eerily similar to one in which Donald Trump took part in while campaigning for president in 2015.
Harris could be seen talking to herself as she made a surprise appearance on Saturday night as she sat in front of a mirror, speaking with actress Maya Rudolph who was portraying the Democratic presidential candidate.
But viewers were quick to note how the sketch was strikingly similar to one performed nine years earlier by Trump. (Photos) Just as in Harris' cold open, Trump was also seen talking to himself through the mirror, and asking for himself for advice.
The Biggest Loser and the Irony Behind it

f things go according to the current outlook, the biggest loser this week will not be Kamala, it will be Barack Obama. In specific terms his legacy is on the line.Kamala Harris would not be in position without the moves Chicago Jesus made in 2020 together with James Clyburn. Obama/Clyburn picked Senator Harris.
Kamala would not be in 2024 position, were it not for the intervention of Chicago Jesus, Pelosi and the upper echelon of DNC control officers. Once again, Obama stepped in to support Kamala. Barack Obama, together with Eric Holder, then selected Tim Walz.
This week, it’s not just the insufferable Kamala on the ballot, it’s Obama,
