We have spent a fair amount of time here in Morning Briefing Land talking about the steaming pile of horse dung that was the 2020 United States presidential election. I’ve been politely employing euphemisms like “irregularities,” and “anomalies,” because they’re easier than repeatedly writing “whatever the hell that was.”
Despite the ongoing efforts of the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media to disenfranchise and silence 75 million people, we still keep asking questions about whatever the hell that was. Legitimate questions.
That’s the thing here. Any American truly interested in fair and free elections shouldn’t shy away from examining the kinds of things that happened last year. This, by the way, is different than Stacey Abrams running around acting like she’s the real governor of Georgia because feelings and stuff. There was a lot that went on last November that didn’t pass the smell test.
Last month, I wrote about the audit in Maricopa County here in Arizona. I hadn’t been paying that much attention to it and I had just one question: why are the Democrats so afraid of it happening? If, as they claim, there were no “irregularities,” then why not welcome any chance to prove that?
Anything that can be done at this point to assuage the fears that many of us have about something being permanently amiss in our election processes needs to be done. That’s a two-pronged approach. Problems have to be identified, then they have to be corrected via legislation.
The Democrats don’t want any of that, however. Anything that’s being done to clean up last November’s mess is being stonewalled and mislabeled as “voting restrictions,” and, because they’re lazy and not very creative, “Jim Crow.”
They’re willing to grandstand and go to great lengths, like the Democrats in Texas:Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened to cut off funding for the legislature after Democrats walked out of the final session to prevent the passage of Abbott’s voter integrity bill.
The governor followed through on that threat yesterday and vetoed the sections of the state budget that fund legislative agencies and pay for lawmakers.
Abbott said in a statement that “Texans don’t run from a legislative fight, and they don’t walk away from unfinished business.”Funding should not be provided for those who quit their job early, leaving their state with unfinished business and exposing taxpayers to higher costs for an additional legislative session.”That was a nice touch from Abbott there. Texas Dems say what he did was an “abuse of power,” but they didn’t find anything wrong with behaving like school children and shirking their responsibilities.
They’re also having a hissy fit over the fact that the state of Georgia is trying to clean up its voter rolls, which is not an unusual occurrence. In fact, it is something that’s done anywhere election integrity is a concern.
Some of the biggest stink from the last election came out of Pennsylvania, especially the Philadelphia area, which magically delivered the state to Joe Biden. Now it looks like a little bit of audit fever might be catching in the Keystone State:Pennsylvania state Senator Dave Argall, who chairs the committee in charge of overseeing elections, told the Pennsylvania Capital-Star that a forensic audit was a “very real possibility.”
“There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two and we hope to have some more detail,” Argall said regarding a meeting he had with activists who support the audit on Wednesday.I’m not looking to overturn the 2020 election here. What I want is to ensure that my vote might have a chance of counting in future elections. The real voter suppression in America is being perpetrated by the Democrats who want elections that are almost free of rules that somehow always work out for them at the eleventh hour.
texas demorats are whiny narassistic, egocentric, pleasuring seeking, indolent children. their ingenuous behavior is typical of the demorat party throughout the decades. the demented,veggie brain, pedophil faux pres., protrayes himself as a lone becon of civiliization facing the insurmountable odds of totatarian barbarianism. the media drapes and anoints his pathetic, pale, ramshackled posture with chivalrious praises of glory, duty, and the new messiah of the free world. his contempraries view him as a traitor, a naif, an Uncle Tom and a political chameleon. One can correlate his behavior to that of the texas democrat congress.
“Audit Everything Until the Stink From Last November Is Gone”
Sorry, but you could audit until.the highest Islamic officials in both Mecca and Medina came out of the closet as Evangelical Christians and it would still not help. There is NO LEGAL OR CONSTITUTIONAL PROCEDURE to reverse a national election once it has been certified. PERIOD! The founders, bless their hearts, anticipated a whole lot of nastiness arising and provided for ways to correct/combat it. They simply did not anticipate fraud on the scale of what was committed last November. Face facts! Auditing will not AND CAN NOT make that giant cluster flop right!
Voter ID and cleaning up voter rolls are common sense and easily executed ways to prevent election fraud. It only stands to reason that those dedicated to election fraud would oppose it.
Yeah, somewhere there is someone that finds it impossible for get a qualified voter ID. Yeah, states need to be careful and thorough when removing names of those who have moved away or died to prevent inadvertently removing a valid name. But Democrats could participate and help instead of fighting it. But, they aren’t interested in election security; that is the LAST thing they want to happen.
Trump’s bullshit stinks to high heaven already. There is NO constitutional mechanism for overthrowing election results that have been PROPERLY and UNANIMOUSLY certified by the officials of ALL 50 STATES, both Republican and Democrat. So what do Trump’s followers actually have in mind?
Blind loyalty to a wannabe tinpot authoritarian leader who failed to win reelection by a HUGE margin, and then failed in his efforts to incite an insurrection is no virtue.
You can’t “properly” and “unanimously” certify votes that are found to be illegal.
Blind loyalty is voting for whoever The View or Late Night tells you to.
Trump won in 2016 with half the money of Hillary. Biden got about six million in BIG corp and bank money, and still they had to cheat.
Biden is an actual authoritarian Dictator installed against the will of the American People.
I hope you have more than words to back up your convictions, in the long run, coward.
Idiot Biden is nothing; he is a puppet having his strings pulled by ruthless, anti-American garbage. He just wants to fatten his wallet. This is what presidency by committee looks like; an unmitigated disaster.
Oh, and any actual evidence of an “insurrection”, as you put it?
That’s been debunked and to say otherwise is completely baseless.
“Oh, and any actual evidence…” Trump’s words and actions, the result they produced, and sufficient relationships. A majority of voters fully understand this. That’s why republicans are attempting to alter the composition of voters.
“Oh, and any actual evidence…” Trump’s words and actions, the result they produced, and sufficient INTELLIGENCE TO UNDERSTAND relationships. A majority of voters fully understand this. That’s why republicans are attempting to alter the composition of voters.
No, you have to do better (MUCH better) than that. “Go peacefully” doesn’t incite violence. Democrats understand how completely the vast majority of Americans reject their agenda of hate, divisiveness, racism, violence and failure so they have push their “Fool the People Act” to make election fraud, like they utilized in 2020, the “law” of the land.
Democrats incited the violence, not Trump.
This just in:
Similar occurrences all across the nation wherever Democrats can infect the election process with their corruption. It is clear and documented, like all the Democrat lies that have fallen apart.
You never answered; what about the Texas election integrity law suppresses the vote? Now tax evading, gap-toothed, election results denying Stacey Abrams supports voter ID.
The Western Journal is a right-wing propaganda outlet known for publishing false “news”. You won’t find the story in any traditional news source because it’s a fabrication.

“Western Journalism previously stated it featured “conservative, libertarian, free market and pro-family writers and broadcasters”[8] and seeks to provide “God-honoring” content.[4] In practice, according to the New York Times, this philosophy, in which “tradition-minded patriots face ceaseless assault by anti-Christian bigots, diseased migrants and race hustlers concocting hate crimes,” results in “a torrent of sensationalized, misleading, or entirely made-up stories, often aimed at Muslims and immigrants.”[6] Because of negative rulings by fact-checking sites and user trust surveys, Western Journalism was blacklisted by Google and Apple News, and by 2017 its Facebook traffic declined to near zero.[6]
“In a 2016 story on how fake news spreads on social media, The Intercept reported that: “Thanks to views sourced largely to referrals from Facebook, Brown’s websites now outrank web traffic going to news outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, CBS News, and NPR, according to data compiled by Alexa”.[9]
“In February 2019, The Western Journal published an article which alleged “Climate Change ‘Heat Records’ Are a Huge Data Manipulation.” Scientists criticized the article, saying it was deceptive and that it contradicted existing research. The Western Journal subsequently retracted the article.[10]”

The belief that “tradition-minded patriots face ceaseless assault by anti-Christian bigots, diseased migrants and race hustlers concocting hate crimes” pretty much describes the right’s pervasive mental disorder.
You won’t find the story from “traditional news outlets” because those are your left wing propaganda sites that suppress facts and spread lies. Like Russian collusion. Like bounties. Like gassing “peaceful protesters”. Like cops murdered with fire extinguishers. Like “armed insurrection”. Like… well, the list is far too extensive.
“according to the New York Times” Like, right there. According to one of the biggest violators, most prolific left wing propagandists. But, you dote on lying propaganda.
Now, how about that Texas election integrity law. Where’s that suppression? Can’t find it? Just like with Georgia’s law, got caught just vapidly repeating talking points without knowing any facts? AGAIN?
“Where’s that suppression? Can’t find it?” Why do you suppose they want to delay the start of Sunday voting until 1:00 PM, when it begins at 6:00 AM every other day of the week? Who do you think THAT targets, Sherlock? It’s no damn accident.
They don’t write the intention for targeted suppression into the wording of the law. That’s too obvious. You’ve got to read between the lines to understand the real-world effects of their bullshit.
Um… we don’t even HAVE Sunday voting, so I guess we are getting MORE time to vote. Whaddaya think… SHERLOCK?
Every heard of “church”? Some people go there, generally on Sunday and services are, generally, over at 12. So, opening the polls at 1 ACCOMODATES THOSE WHO GO TO CHURCH, particularly anyone working at the polls.
Because your example is so abysmally STUPID, maybe you could explain what you THOUGHT was the suppression.
Hey, genius, I’ll let you keep trying.
“…we don’t even HAVE Sunday voting…” That’s NOT what the TX Secretary of State’s official 2000 poll calendar said. As you can see, the Sunday voting days were ALREADY very few.
They CLAIMED their Sunday morning restrictions were to give their poll workers time to go to church. Everybody knows there’s a tradition among some specific demographics of providing church-to-polling-place transportation for folk who might otherwise have difficulty getting there. It greatly increases the turnout in many areas. Eliminating Sunday morning voting would have the opposite effect. It also guarantees long waits in line for those who go on Sunday afternoon. That would be difficult for many eligible voters.

Everybody knows perfectly well what republican state legislatures across much of the country are actually up to.
Do you think blacks do not go to church as well? I know liberals have no idea how American citizens live, but in Texas as well as other areas not on the coasts, blacks are dedicated church goers. So, even though Sunday polls are rarely open, not opening until 1pm restricts absolutely nothing.
Now, provide something that actually restricts voting. I’m still waiting.
https://www.texastribune.org/2021/06/01/texas-voting-bill-sunday-republicans/
It’s ONE SUNDAY for cities larger than 100,000 (which explains why I’ve never seen it). Currently, they must be open at least 5 hours for ONE SUNDAY. Opening at 1pm and remaining open until 9pm exceeds that, doesn’t it? Also, they’ve increased the requirement to cities of 30,000 or more.
Again, it was Democrats who fought to keep churches closed during the COVID lock downs regardless of any provisions the churches made to accommodate the restrictions, so spare me your claim Democrats are suddenly worried about church goers voting.
Mark another one up in your L column.
The 2 closest polling places here are Churches by delaying the opening on Sunday gives the attendees and voters parking. The members time to clear out to the IHop for Sunday brunch. We can always tell when Greggie is making a long shot theory based on Democrat conspiracy nonsense to defy the constitution in a power grab.
Kitt, in my county, a number of the polling locations are at a church. So while Comrade Greggie moans and groans about the polling locations being closed on Sunday mornings, the churches in my county have different rules; remove all VOTE HERE signs, all campaign signs, all indication of that church being a polling location, on Saturday evening and do not return those signs until after 6:00 p.m. on Sunday evening.
“They CLAIMED their Sunday morning restrictions were to give their poll workers time to go to church.”
And you have a problem with poll workers attending church why?
“Everybody knows there’s a tradition among some specific demographics of providing church-to-polling-place transportation for folk who might otherwise have difficulty getting there.”
You know, blacks should really be insulted by how stupid you on the left think they are. Voter I.D.? Oh, hell no because blacks can’t get I.D.s, right? Closed polls on Sundays harm the demographic that is the race that attends church in the greatest numbers? How so? If those polls are open after church? How does polls open on Sunday morning while blacks are in church help blacks vote?
Then there is the old, tired, worn excuse that those church goers have no means to get to the polls. Which means it doesn’t matter if the polls are open or not. But again, the left judges blacks to be too stupid to find a way to the polls. Here is a hint, Comrade Greggie; study the Birmingham bus boycott. Odd how blacks found their way to work during that boycott. Guess they are not as stupid as you think they are.
“It greatly increases the turnout in many areas. Eliminating Sunday morning voting would have the opposite effect.”
Again, how so if most blacks are in church on Sunday mornings? And perhaps you don’t know that many black (and white) Protestant churches have pot luck dinners after services for their congregates.
Buy hey, keep proving what an idiot you are.
Well, Democrats think blacks are too stupid to choose their candidate, too. So they choose for them.
I gave Greg over a month to respond and he comes up with an example that provides MORE time to MORE people to vote.
If you’re not stupid, you KNOW what it is that I have a problem with and why. This is another of your typical deflections.
No Sunday morning voting ISN’T about giving poll workers time to go to church. The black voters who would be voting Sunday morning would be doing so AFTER attending their services, wouldn’t they? THAT is the entire point.
Hey, here’s a remedy to the problem of increased black turnout: Let’s make ’em find their own transportation to the polls in the afternoon, and THEN stand in line for as long as possible if they want to vote.
Church lets out at 12 noon. Polls open at 1pm. Looks like it all works out. Assume we ARE stupid. Explain the “suppression”.
Meanwhile, not checking positive ID, voting by mail without verifying who is voting, never purging voter rolls of those who have move away or who have died all encourages and promotes election fraud. We know this because it did in 2020.
Sure it “all works out”–with twice as many black Sunday voters lining up to try to vote in half the time, many being elderly and dependent on organized transportation between their churches and the polls. I forget…was Texas also the state making it ILLEGAL to provide water or food to anyone stuck in a voting line for hours?
As with a number of other republican-majority states, Texas voting reform IS the fraud. All this garbage is in the wake of Donald Trump. His stink is out of Washington, but it’s still strong elsewhere. Somebody needs to open the windows.
We are talking about ONE Sunday. There are still Saturdays and EVERY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK to vote. Also, as I pointed out, this is no different than before and is actually now applied to smaller cities, so… MORE opportunity to vote.
“I forget…was Texas also the state making it ILLEGAL to provide water or food to anyone stuck in a voting line for hours?” No, and thanks for exposing that you think using LIES to make your point is effective. It was proven that no such part of the Georgia law existed. What was banned was electioneering with water bearing candidates’ names being handed out to voters. But, as we see, the TRUTH means nothing to the devotees of election fraud.
You had over a month to answer my question and this is what you came up with… NOTHING. So, SHUT UP. Voting is not being restricted, it is being protected. You and your Democrats want… NEED to cheat and these laws are attacking the ability to commit fraud. You don’t and never have cared about anyone’s vote, all you care about is Democrats gaining power through fraud.
Maybe if Democrats weren’t absolute garbage they could win elections legitimately.
“Sure it “all works out”–with twice as many black Sunday voters lining up to try to vote in half the time,”
So what you are saying is blacks should decide between voting in on Sunday morning and going to church because otherwise there will be twice as many black Sunday voters lining up to try to vote in half the time, never mind that whites, Hispanics and some Asians are also in church on Sunday mornings? Clear evidence you don’t care about other minorities.
Typical Dem.
“many being elderly and dependent on organized transportation between their churches and the polls.”
What happened to all those “buses to the polls” you are always yammering about? Do those buses have regulators on them that allows them to only operate in the morning?
“I forget…was Texas also the state making it ILLEGAL to provide water or food to anyone stuck in a voting line for hours?”
In Texas, handing out water to a long voting line is legal if done by the Election Administrator/County Clerk’s office. But I have a right to stand in a voting line and not be accosted by a radical left winger promoting voting for Sheila Jackson-Lee. In most states, it is against the law to approach someone in a voting line. No surprise you would want the ability to campaign illegally.
Again, we are talking about ONE Sunday per election. We are talking about, at most, a couple of hours for ONE DAY per election. THIS is what Greg, after searching for a month, has found to be “suppressing voters”.
Ridiculous and embarrassing. Greg’s and the Democrat’s defense and support for election fraud is not only obvious but disgusting.
