Democrats are dropping the pretense of being anything other than thugs intent on destroying our country in order to achieve absolute power:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the state of Arizona, seeking to block a law that would force residents to provide proof of citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.

Instead of expelling illegal aliens in accordance with the law, instead of making any sincere effort to keep them out of the country, instead of refraining from treasonously encouraging them to invade, the federal government is using them to cancel the votes of American citizens.

The point of allowing illegal aliens to vote in our elections is that they will vote against the interests of Americans by electing Democrats, who will confiscate our money and give it to them in the form of welfare and social services, while leaving the border open, drawing in ever more of them to displace us.

Meanwhile,

Biden issued an executive order on March 7, 2021, directing all 600 federal agencies to submit a plan to the White House to increase voter registration and turnout. Many agencies subsequently developed a plan to turn federal facilities, particularly those that deliver federal benefits, into voter registration agencies.

For example, Housing and Urban Development is trying to turn assisted housing centers into get-out-the-vote hubs. Health and Human Services is doing the same with its public health centers. Even as labor problems are out of control, the Department of Labor is turning its American Job Centers into voter registration agencies.

The agencies are allowed to work with voting groups approved by left-wing partisans in the White House…

It isn’t enough to import illegal aliens and enable them to vote. Democrats need to spend taxpayer dollars driving them to the polls.

The Biden Regime is not just political opposition. It is America’s enemy.

Mollie Hemingway wrote the book on Democrat election fraud in the 2020 election. She sounds the alarm that worse is on the way:

Biden really does not want the public to know about his federal takeover of election administration. Dozens of members of Congress have repeatedly asked for details, to no avail. Good government groups, members of the media, and private citizens have filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act. Not a single one has been responded to. All signs indicate a concerted effort to keep the public in the dark until at least after the November midterm elections. The lack of transparency and responsiveness is so bad that the Department of Justice and some of its agencies have been repeatedly sued for the information.

Democrats tried to seize control of elections at the federal level in violation of the Constitution through legislation, but couldn’t get the votes because a total of two Democrat Senators (Kyrsten Sinema, Joe Manchin) were squeamish about reducing the USA to a banana republic. So the mission will be accomplished more furtively.

Although Democrat plans to lay a heavy thumb on the scale for the November elections are mostly top secret, a few details are known, including:

• In the midst of a labor crisis, the Department of Labor boasted that it was turning 2,300 American Job Centers previously focused on helping displaced workers find jobs into hubs of political activism. These new federally funded voter registration agencies were given guidance about how to bring in organizations to conduct “voter outreach.”

• The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services likewise announced plans to turn community health centers into voter registration agencies, using thousands of health care facilities to focus on voter registration and turnout.

• The Housing and Urban Development Department sent notice to public housing authorities that they should begin voter registration drives and participation activities. Previously, officials had been barred from electoral activities because they receive federal funding.

• “It is presumed residents of public housing might disproportionately vote Democrat. … The executive order targets people receiving government benefits who might think their benefits depend on one party in power,” Stewart Whitson, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability, told the Daily Signal.

• The Department of Education sent “dear colleague” letters to universities, telling them that Federal Work Study funds could now be used to support voter registration activities, contrary to previous guidance. The change was made without having gone through any rulemaking process to allow the change.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture said it’s using its child nutrition programs to push voter registration and enlisting state, local, and federally funded employees to implement voter registration drives in local schools.

For the federal government to spend our money on Democrat get out the vote drives is blatantly corrupt. The aspects of the plan that have been kept secret are doubtless far worse. But by the time courts can do anything about it, the election will be over. Anyone who complains will be accused of “conspiracy theories” and “insurrection.”

Given how dramatically they have lowered our standard of living just since Biden took office, if Democrats are to stay in power, they will have to cheat at levels that will make the 2020 election look fair by comparison.

On a tip from Blackjack.

Democrats and their allies have attempted to discredit the explosive revelations in Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules. But even given leftists’ overwhelming institutional power, the truth will out. Despite the conspicuous absence of a proper investigation, you can’t pay large numbers of people to stuff drop boxes with illegitimate ballots without some of them eventually admitting it:

An Arizona woman accused of illegally collecting early ballots in the 2020 primary election pleaded guilty Thursday in an agreement with state prosecutors…

Guillermina Fuentes, 66, could get probation for running what Arizona attorney general’s office investigators said was a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots.

Do even Democrats think a legitimate election is run like this?

Prosecutors were apparently unable to prove the most serious charges, dropping three felony counts alleging that Fuentes filled out one voter’s ballot and forged signatures on some of the four ballots she illegally returned for people who were not family members.

But that is apparently what happened — if not in this case, in many others. See 2000 Mules for details. For further details, see that Republicans take control of the executive branch so that the Justice Department can give election fraud the attention it deserves.

Attorney general’s office investigator William Kluth wrote in one report that there was some evidence suggesting Fuentes actively canvassed San Luis neighborhoods and collected ballots, in some cases paying for them.

Democrats incessantly squawk that anything they don’t like is “a threat to our democracy.” As a Founding Father of progressivism allegedly advised, “Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”

Fuentes, a former San Luis mayor who serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis, could be sentenced to up to two years in prison, but that would require a judge to find aggravating circumstances. The plea agreement leaves the actual sentence up to a judge, who could give her probation, home confinement and a hefty fine for her admission to illegally collecting and returning four voted ballots.

More than a wrist slap would come as a surprise.

Arizona is one of the handful of states that Biden supposedly won by a narrow margin, allowing his radical handlers to take power. As in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, it is likely that Trump would have prevailed if not for election fraud.

A heroic gun-owning woman saving people’s lives from a maniac was of little interest to the media. Expect this story to be similarly ignored.

On tips from Mr. Freemarket and Varla. Hat tip: American Thinker.

The Biden Regime has been a catastrophic failure, and the Democratic Party has alienated all decent, informed Americans with its embrace of radical leftism. Despite enjoying near total control of Big Tech and the media, the party is left with only one path to victory in 2022 and 2024. That path is election fraud:

Last year, President Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14019, “Promoting Access to Voting.” This directed every federal agency, agencies that are staffed through partisan appointments, to create a plan to register and mobilize voters. It also orders these agencies to work with organizations such as activist groups to register and mobilize voters in whatever manner they see fit. In doing so, the Biden administration has politicized election processes that were uniquely guarded as a nonpartisan since the ratification of the Constitution in 1788.

It is hard to say exactly what Biden’s handlers are up to. We do know that it is nefarious, or they would not be so furtive about it.

There are few details about what the relationship between the federal bureaucrats and state election administrators would look like or where any oversight would occur. And the president has been even more opaque about who will decide which third parties will be selected to participate in these registration and mobilization schemes. As a result, the Foundation for Government Accountability filed a Freedom of Information Act request in July 2021 to obtain various documents pertaining to the executive order.

Nine months later, the Biden administration has yet to provide any meaningful, substantive response or produce any documents that would fulfill the public records request. This is in direct violation of the Department of Justice’s 20-day FOIA response rules.

If you think Democrats are arrogant in their stonewalling now, wait until they have secured control of elections. As progressive founding father Joseph Stalin observed, it doesn’t matter who votes, so long as leftists count the votes.

The 2020 election smelled bad enough. We might need clothes pins for our noses to get through the next one:

Democrats in Washington, led by the president, have tried to maintain unnecessary pandemic-era election policies while creating frivolous new ones. Their efforts would do grave harm to the nation’s electoral process by expanding federal control over state voting norms. Using taxpayer funds to pay political activists to join with federal bureaucrats is an unprecedented seizure of power from voters.

Democrats have attempted to ram through laws that would reduce elections to farces, ensuring victory regardless of voter sentiment. Their efforts have failed thanks to the only two Democrat Senators who are squeamish about overthrowing our system of government.

What cannot be accomplished by legitimate means will be imposed insidiously, through a Deep State staffed by radical apparatchiks.

On a tip from Dragon’s Lair.

Since the farcical riot on 1/6/20, anyone who mentions election fraud is menaced with the term “insurrection.” If they were not guilty of election fraud, Democrats would not demand silence on the topic. In the end, the truth will out. Dinesh D’Souza lends a hand in his forthcoming documentary 2000 Mules.

The word “gaffe” has been defined as a politician accidentally telling the truth. Joe Biden is the master of gaffes because due to a low IQ compounded by dementia, he lets slip statements like this:

“We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

D’Souza puts that gaffe in context in this trailer:

Democrats have spent much of the past year attempting to guarantee all future elections to be at least as rigged as 2020. As noted earlier,

Stopped only by Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, Democrats have been attempting to steamroll through the Senate filibuster to seize control of elections and institutionalize industrial scale voter fraud. The stakes could not be higher. Because the Constitution delegates control of elections to the states, what Bided et al. want to do is so brazenly unconstitutional that it would require packing the Supreme Court to implement. Tyranny imposed so openly by an extremely unpopular administration would result in political instability, to put it mildly — possibly civil war, to put it less mildly.

D’Souza is correct that “Without free and fair elections we are not a democracy; we are a criminal cartel masquerading as a democracy.”

Reducing the USA to that status appears to be the primary purpose of the axis of evil composed of the Democratic Party, the liberal establishment media, and Big Tech. If they can prevent the public from learning what they have been doing to subvert elections, they will succeed.

The problem with choosing a guy with dementia as a figurehead is that sometimes he says the quiet part out loud. Enraged that he has not been able to ram through this power grab, Biden even snarls it:

Biden appears to be channeling Joseph Stalin, a possible role model:

On a tip from Wiggins.

A handful of hooligans trespassing in the Capitol wouldn’t normally seem like a big deal, but it may have permanently destabilized “our democracy” by providing Democrats with a pretext to overthrow the USA’s constitutional republic. In the video below, a visibly insane Nancy Pelosi explains why an unruly protest over election fraud equates to any local legislation that restricts election fraud, and why both must be countered by a federal takeover of elections.

Hard as it is to take Pelosi seriously, what she is talking about is civil war. Democrats want to discard the Senate filibuster to ram through legislation that will institutionalize election fraud at the federal level. According to the Constitution, elections are conducted by the states. An authoritarian power grab this ham-fisted and this patently unconstitutional will be supported only by the three stooges on the Supreme Court.

To implement HR1 or anything like it will require packing the court, which Biden and other Democrats have made clear their willingness to do. A Supreme Court stuffed with Merrick Garland types rubberstamping tyrannical legislation so that Democrats can impose single-party rule without guff from voters will go down without much trouble in California and New York, but not in other parts of the country. The center will not hold.

We’re playing whack-a-mole. For every Saule Omarova Biden’s handlers pull back because her radicalism attracted too much attention, they are appointing a dozen termites like Dale Ho to eat away our country from within. Watch in horror as Ho denounces the system of government defined in the Constitution:

By “making voting easier,” he means “making election fraud easier.”

As it dawns on Democrats that they do not yet have enough power to impose the “Build Back Better” leap toward socialism, they are shifting their focus to institutionalizing voter fraud (or as they call it, “voting rights”) so as to gain that power. Democrats will do whatever they can get away with to centralize power in Washington and to ensure that they win every election nationally like they do in Chicago, producing the marvelous leadership Lori Lightfoot embodies. The Senate and the Electoral College are already in their sights.

On a tip from Occam’s Stubble.

American citizenship means nothing to Democrats. They have no loyalty to the USA, regarding themselves as globalist citizens of the world. Unless they are removed from power, the country will be run like New York, where the City Council just passed a measure allowing noncitizens to vote.

Marxist Mayor Bill de Blasio has said he will sign it. His incoming replacement Eric Adams supports it too. The measure applies not only to green-card–holding foreigners but also to “Dreamers” — i.e., illegal aliens.

The anti-American leftists at CNBC rejoice:

Councilman Francisco Moya, whose family hails from Ecuador, choked up as he spoke in support of the bill.

“This is for my beautiful mother who will be able to vote for her son,” said Moya, while joining the session by video with his immigrant mother at his side.

Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and mushy inside?

Democrats would not dilute the vote of Americans with those of foreigners if they did not stand to benefit. Non-American translates to un-American when it comes to elections.

The city’s move could enflame the national debate over voting rights, particularly among some who wrongly assert that rampant fraud by noncitizens has taken place in federal elections.

Thank you, CNBC, for further clarifying whose side you are on by lying clumsily on behalf of the Democratic Party. As Tom Fitton explains, it is naive to think illegal aliens are not voting by the millions. This is a major reason the southern border is still wide open, with needy, unskilled voters pouring across at a rate of millions per year to displace us.

At the risk of belaboring the obvious, the Democratic Party is at war with the United States.

On a tip from Ed McAninch.

Not even in deep blue New York do voters want elections reduced to farces by Democrats institutionalizing voter fraud. The Guardian doesn’t know what to make of it:

Amid an array of discouraging election results for Democrats last week, there was one under-the-radar outcome that was especially perplexing. In New York, one of the country’s most progressive states, voters overwhelmingly rejected initiatives that would have expanded voting access in future elections.

This reportedly “left voting rights advocates stunned.”

One of the proposals would have paved the way for lawmakers to get rid of a longstanding states policy that requires voters to give an excuse if they want to vote by mail (34 states and the District of Columbia allow anyone to vote by mail for any reason). Another would have allowed people to register to vote on election day, a reform advocates believe significantly increases political participation.

None of the measures came anywhere close to passing.

Despite being lied to relentlessly by the leftist-controlled media, the public is not completely clueless. People know that measures ostensibly intended to increase political participation actually increase election fraud. They also know that phony votes reduce the value of their own votes.

If Democrats are able to ram through one of their attempts to seize control of elections at the federal level, there will be a political price to pay. But then, the whole point of advancing “voting rights” is to make public support superfluous.

Deep down, maybe even most liberals believe in free and fair elections. If so, they had better push back against the radical authoritarians who control the Democratic Party before it is too late.

On tips from Dragon’s Lair and Mr. Freemarket.

We the People rose up on Tuesday, dealing authoritarians devastating setbacks, particularly in blue Virginia. Now, the empire prepares to strike back.

Today’s radicalized Democrats now understand that controlling education and the media does not suffice, because some Americans continue to think for themselves. This resulted in the humiliating defeat of their golden boy Terry McAuliffe. They know they will not be able to inflict their agenda with the consent of the population. Even Chuck Todd understands that voters have had enough of them.

Democrats recently tried to federalize elections in brazen violation of the Constitution so that they can legalize the voter fraud that has become key to their electoral strategy. They were stopped by the thinness of their advantage in the legislature. This can be overcome only by pulling out all stops and nuking the filibuster.

After their spanking in Virginia, Democrats could have learned a lesson and backed off from the unpopular radical course they have taken under Biden. But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has chosen a diametrically opposite response:

“We will continue to fight for voting rights and find an alternative path forward, even if it means going it alone,” Schumer said.

“Voting rights” is an Orwellian euphemism for reducing elections to banana republic farces by institutionalizing election fraud. “Going it alone” means ramming through an overhaul of our system of government on a single-party basis after discarding the filibuster.

Schumer has been twisting the arms of Democrat senators who might not have the belly to betray their country for their party. Other senators will not need any arm-twisting.

A “senior Democratic aide” confides that Schumer has been meeting with several senators, including Senate Rules Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar and filibuster reform advocate Jeff Merkley. They are having “earnest conversations with their colleagues about the need to get voting rights legislation passed immediately” — by hook or by crook.

Outside groups, and a growing number of Democratic senators, are pushing to create an exemption from the filibuster that would let voting rights legislation pass by a simple majority.

That way, Democrats don’t have to worry about the midterms bloodbath bearing down on them.

Joe Biden — a tool for the ultraleft with no principles whatsoever, no honor, and no loyalty to the Constitution or the United States — is unsurprisingly egging them on:

In a boost for reform advocates, Biden indicated during a CNN town hall last month that he was open to changing the filibuster for voting rights.

Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, possibly the only Americans left in the Democratic Party, can stop this. If they falter, we are headed for civil war.

If Democrats steamroll through the filibuster to seize control of elections with the obvious purpose of engineering the outcome, this will be blocked by the Supreme Court. Then Biden will pack the court with rubber stamps of the Merrick Garland stripe, as he has said he is willing to do.

At that point, it will become clear to everyone in America what the Second Amendment is all about.

On a tip from Varla.

If Larry Elder doesn’t become the next governor of California, it won’t be the fault of his ads:

More likely, it will be because Gavin Newsom, best known for dining maskless indoors with lobbyists in an extravagantly expensive restaurant during the depths of the lockdowns, is the personification of the liberal elite, which has power and money:

Newsom’s anti-recall campaign raked in more money in its first five months — $54 million — than the $50.2 million his 2018 gubernatorial campaign raised over four years.

Most of the money came in six- or seven-figure donations from longtime Democratic financial backers, including government employee and trade unions, as well as people and interest groups that stand to gain from a relationship with California’s governor.

Like the rest of the radicalized Democrat Party, Newsom is so conspicuously awful that power and money might not be enough to woo voters even in fundamentally transformed California. So Democrats will fall back on their ace in hole; bad guys get to cheat:

Torrance police are investigating the discovery of hundreds of recall election ballots in a vehicle where a felon was found passed out with drugs, a loaded firearm and multiple driver’s licenses one week ago, authorities said Monday.

There were about 300 ballots in the car, a tiny fraction of the number of illegitimate ballots that will be cast in favor of Newsom.

Officers also discovered a loaded firearm, methamphetamine, thousands of pieces of mail, a scale, and multiple California drivers licenses and credit cards that were in other people’s names, a police news release stated. Xanax pills were also located on the unidentified male subject, who authorities described as a felon.

Democrats have erased the line between politics and crime. As Carl von Clausewitz might put it, Democrat politics is the continuation of crime by other means.

This is why Democrats have proclaimed election integrity to be “racist.” They have been pulling out all the stops to ram through legislation like the ironically named “For the People Act” and “John Lewis Voting Rights Act” that will prevent it from being an impediment ever again.

Discarding even the pretense of trustworthiness, Democrats are going all out on behalf of election fraud, which helped them to power and serves as the keystone of their political gameplan. Listen to what Biden’s handlers put on his teleprompter:

During a Tuesday speech in Philadelphia, Biden slammed Republicans for their attempts to pass voter integrity laws.

“The assault on free and fair elections is just such a threat — literally. I’ve said it before. We’re facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. It’s not hyperbole — since the Civil War. Confederates, back then, never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January 6. I’m not saying this to alarm you. I’m saying this because you should be alarmed,” Biden said.

As many as 750,000 were killed in the Civil War, but that was no big deal compared to a rowdy mob exploiting the lack of security to trespass in the People’s House.

Only one person died by violence on January 6; Ashli Babbitt, shot evidently without cause by an officially unnamed Capitol Police officer. Her death was no big deal either; our rulers say it did not even warrant a continued investigation.

However, a deplorable person sat without authorization at Nancy Pelosi’s desk. The situation was so terrifying that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has required psychiatric therapy to help her deal with it, even though she was not in the building at the time.

The strategy is to dupe idiots into thinking January 6 was a cataclysmic event, a misperception that the media has been pushing ad nauseam at the cost of its last dregs of credibility. Since the trespassers were angry about election fraud, all complaints on this topic can be linked to the demonized mob. The media/Democrat Party narrative is that anyone who wants free and fair elections is a dangerous insurrectionist.

Such people are also racist. None of this has anything to do with race, but anyone Democrats want to destroy gets called a racist so as to scare off potential defenders, because the increasingly meaningless word still instills terror of cancelation.

Biden’s hyperbole comes heavily laced with irony:

Before his “not-hyperbole,” Biden said that “bullies and merchants of fear and peddlers of lies are threatening the very foundation of our country,” in reference to the GOP.

Here’s why the speech was made in Pennsylvania:

Two days after Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano announced that the committee he heads was preparing a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election, the White House announced a trip to Pennsylvania by President Biden “to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote.”

The point of the visit was to encourage local officials not to cooperate with the investigation. If honest officials are able to conduct an effective inquiry despite resistance from Democrats, the information produced will undermine the ongoing attempt to seize federal control of elections so as to institutionalize fraud and guarantee Democrat dominance.

The absurd spectacle of Texas Democrat legislators leaving their state to prevent a law from being passed to help reduce voter fraud serves the same objective. The law will pass eventually anyway, but that isn’t the real issue. Democrats want to gin up support for the ultimate power grab, whether they call it the “For the People Act” or the “John Lewis Voting Rights Act.”

A political party seizing control of elections at the federal level is so blatantly unconstitutional that even liberals on the Supreme Court would be forced to strike it down. This will require packing the court with shameless apparatchiks of Merrick Garland’s caliber. That will leave us with a choice between Soviet-style tyranny and a second civil war.

On tips from Mr. Freemarket and ABC of the ANC.

The Future of the Democrat Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, succinctly sums up why it is so important to her party to pass the Orwellian “For the People Act” (a.k.a. HR1/S1), which would federalize elections in brazen violation of the Constitution and effectively institutionalize election fraud:

“…if Senate Democrats are not going to pass … HR1, we cannot rely solely on a wish of winning elections.”

Whereas if they do ram it through, and then pack the Supreme Court (see here, here, here, here, and here) to prevent it from being overturned, Democrats’ every wish is the nation’s command. The United States will no longer be a constitutional republic in any meaningful sense.
