We have here at Ricochet previously (January 2023) discussed the proposal by a San Francisco special committee for the city to pay $5 million plus other valuable benefits (*) to each person who meets the criteria for entry into the privileged group of beneficiaries. I think many of us thought the proposal would quietly die […]

Ballot Harvesting Still Alive and Well

Did you know that only one state, Alabama, has acted to prevent ballot harvesting in this country? After all the controversy about fraud in our last national election, you might think that enacting a law against ballot harvesting that would help to ensure a valid election, free of blatant fraud, might be one reasonable step to take. Think again.

If you are unfamiliar with the strategy of ballot harvesting, here’s one explanation:

In the State of Alabama, they have figured out how to keep your vote from being stolen when a ‘ballot bandit’ knocks on your door. Ballot harvesting has been defined as ‘the practice in which political operatives collect absentee ballots from voters’ homes and drop them off at a polling place or election office.’ It might sound harmless, even ‘helpful,’ but unfortunately it has been subject to vast abuse.

The Sniffer in Chief has betrayed our troops, the real Afghan patriots, and the American people. He is directly responsible for abandoning both American citizens and courageous, decent Afghans in favor of the sort of material the Squad and the rest of the Red-Green alliance of socialists and Islamists find useful in transforming one community […]

The Big Lie

In recent interviews, Liz Cheney has been calling President Trump’s insistence that the 2020 election was stolen “The Big Lie.” And over the weekend the mainstream media has been beside themselves over the forensic audit underway in Arizona. Today, President Trump decided to take those words and shove them back in the faces of spineless Republicans like her, Kevin McCarthy, and others by issuing the following statement:

Covid Fraud

No, I’m not claiming that the pandemic is a hoax. But I am claiming fraud and it has nothing to do with short epidemiologists.

Last month I received a prepaid credit card in the mail. Now, bad mail is not unusual in my neck of the woods. Like Washington DC, my hometown is divided into quadrants and it is possible for four people living here to have the same address with the only difference being the direction from the public square: NE, NW, SE, or SW. So I marked it as return-to-sender and put it back in my mailbox for the carrier to handle.

TurleyVision 1999: Impeachment as a Madisonian Device

Midget Faded Rattlesnake

My dear spouse occasionally forwards me the legal theories of Jonathan Turley, who currently argues Trump’s impeachment trial is unconstitutional now that Trump is a former official. Curious as to what Turley had to say about impeachment before Trump, I did some digging and struck a mother lode: Turley’s 146-page 1999 Duke Law Journal article, Senate Trials and Factional Disputes: Impeachment As A Madisonian Device. Turley’s reasons for publishing such a masterwork in 1999 may not have been dispassionate, since he had recently testified at Bill Clinton’s impeachment, but since Trump’s presidency wasn’t even a gleam in the old GOP elephant’s eye back then, Turley’s thoughts on impeachment in 1999 should at least be free of any bias for or against Trump. Those with the patience to read — or at least skim — Impeachment As A Madisonian Device will be rewarded with plenty of information on impeachment’s constitutional function and history that’s interesting in its own right, and a perspective in which the non-juridical, political nature of impeachment transcends mere raw exercise of power.

Impeachment As A Madisonian Device extensively surveys the constitutional history of impeachment. Its thesis is that the impeachment process, declared first in the House, then passed to the Senate for trial, culminates in

We know that President Trump has not been guilty of criminal incitement to violence. We know that because we have transcripts of everything he’s said, and we have clear standards for criminal incitement to violence. He hasn’t met those standards. We know that anyone who says there was no fraud is mistaken. Preview Open

Let me get right to it. We need a real audit of this election, and that looks nothing like the farce that was just concluded in Georgia, which did not involve any attempt to identify fraudulent votes or verify any of the election records, including something as basic as matching signatures on absentee ballot envelopes […]

My wife saw this on a smaller scale in Illinois back in 2006 when she worked as a ballot integrity coordinator. She saw Venezuelan technicians working on voting machines. The GOP then wasn’t interested in fighting this. It is now a threat to our Republic.  https://djhjmedia.com/kari/the-kraken-sidney-powell-talks-about-dominion-voting-system-claimscommunists-are-counting-our-votes-on-limbaugh-show/ Preview Open

https://twitter.com/danielchaitin7/status/1327384533428285441?s=21My wife in 2006 saw Venezuelan technicians fiddling with voting machines in Chicago. She was working for the Illinois GOP to fight voter fraud but they were apathetic. Venezuelan emigres were warning her that Chavez style elections were coming to the US. It appears that we may have achieved that dubious distinction in 2020. Preview […]
