‘Ballot harvesting’ in Fort Worth

Well, technically Tarrant County, but the only city of any size there is Fort Worth. Where voting is being investigated by the state for “ballot harvesting,” an interesting form of paper voting fraud that still works in the computer age.

Never mind hacking a voting machine. Never mind voting the dead. Simply beg, buy or steal enough paper mail-in ballots to/from the elderly and the poor to make a difference in an election. Fill them out the way you want, affix the appropriate fraudulent signature and away you go.

If the election you’re out to defraud goes one way or the other by only a few score votes, as some sometimes do, your fraud is in business and you’ve saved yourself the need to learn computer programing or hire some criminal hacker to do it for you.

UPDATE:  Sometimes a rogue insider can upend the paper process all by his own self. And, the investigation intensifies with a reward offered for tips.

Rules of the Democrat news media

The rules are never clearer than in the final weeks before a presidential election.

Obama the actor and Hillary the body double

The Z man is quite funny sometimes, and none more so than in these final days of the quadrennial presidential whizbang, the circus Felonia keeps skipping, sleeping her way through the campaign, and sending her body doubles out to debate Trump.

Who is ever more desperate to wipe off the slime the Democrat news media (80 to 85 percent of big media, as Rudy G. recently put it) keeps pouring on him.

“…the one thing about Bubba that we can probably say with certainty,” writes the Z man. “His entire life has been organized around getting laid….Hillary is different…For all anyone knows, she could be a head in a jar and those old fat women we see waddling around from time to time are just body doubles…All of her capers somehow involve her putting cash in her purse. Back in Arkansas, she was the one involved in the phony land deals, bank jobs and influence peddling. Today, she is the one running the money laundering operations, that necessitated the secret e-mail system…”

And Obama? Is he real or is he Memorex, as an old television ad once had it? The Z Man again: “Obama may as well be an actor, for as much as anyone knows about the guy. Even after all these years, his back story remains a mystery to most Americans. He’s simply the young version of  Morgan Freeman playing President in Deep Impact. Staff write his speeches, prepare him for the fake interviews they stage for the public and otherwise direct every aspect of his public performance.”

And he is incredbily boring. Even his cow of a wife, Moochele, is merely a creditable stand-in for Chewbacca. Better looking, maybe, in a way, than the other animals in Star Wars, but still a wookie.

Our Banana Republic

“The whole country should be frightened by what has transpired with the collusion between the media and [the] Clinton campaign. The end result is that we are no longer a free country. How can you be free when the mainstream media and one candidate that they favor work together to destroy their opponent. Hate to sound apocalyptic but the foundation of our democracy is crumbling and the people should be out in the streets.” —commenter Kevin Barone at WSJ.com

A fair number (tens of thousands, at least) are in the streets, if you count the crowds at Trump rallies. This news media-Democrat party collusion has been going on for decades. It’s only now more blatant than ever and thus scarier than ever. And even the Dictator’s Club, aka the UN, is joining in to back Felonia.

Pass the bananas.

Party transformations

I often quote commenters at the Wall Street Journal’s site because they are so good. Comes one Joel Lumer to outdo them all. He underscores the obvious (but rarely spoken) impending transformation of our major political parties.

“…the Democrat Party has become the party of the rich, financial elites, political and media establishments, nomenklatura and bureaucratic apparatchniks. What the pundits are missing is that Republican party is transforming into a party of the working class and [what’s left of the] middle class…

“The new Republican voter sees that the S&P 500 index went from 670 in March 2009 to 2100 in 2016, while the median household income remained flat – and says something is wrong. They no longer want the old pros. They want someone who can represent people who ride the bus, shop at WalMart, eat at McDonalds, and take their clothes to the laundromat.”

And, I would add, someone who sees that the system is rigged against them and says it loud and clear. We’ll soon see whether there are enough of them to make him president.

Moochele piles on

Our strangest “first lady” evah, is piling on Trump: Twisting his Pussygate words, which were about what a star could get away with, to have him bragging about actually assaulting women. Which he did not do. Either she can’t read (possible, despite her so-called Princeton degree) or like her husband she just doesn’t care about facts.

Could certainly be the latter. Afterall, there’s the “spectacular failure of her school lunch program,” writes Rick Moran of PJMedia, “as kids would rather go hungry than eat the swill her food nazis want to force them to consume.”

Of course we seldom hear about her dumb diet, the celery and carrot sticks she expected our public-school children to eat while hers gobble down French fries and greasy burgers at their private school. The snooze media either plays nice with her or, more often, ignores her completely. Which she certainly deserves.

Can’t wait to see/read/hear what Trump says about her. Of course if he dares to criticize Moochele, he can add racist to the litany the Democrat news media have been/will be hitting him with. Or have they already gotten that one in? It’s hard to keep track when you ignore them as much as I do.

UPDATE:  He seems to have ignored her, like most of the country does most of the time. I mean, occasionally the biased media calls her elegant, or some such nonsense. As a  Chewbacca-stand in, I suppose she is, when compared to the other wookies in Star Wars.

The News War on Trump

confession-bear-2016-10-12-at-06-27-31-pm

The Nobody But Clinton network held the Trump pussygate tape for at least 2 months, until two days before the 2nd debate, when it would do him the most damage. Pravda, of the old Soviet Union, couldn’t have done it better.

UPDATE: Nothing unusual here, really. Nor the “new” allegations of Trump’s years old molesting of women. It’s all part of the MSM’s permanent smear campaign for Republican presidential nominees. They do this every four years.
