The Thot Plickens !!! …

” Rampant fraud and abuse occurred statewide at Wisconsin’s nursing homes and other residential care facilities ,” according to the Office of Special Counsel’s second interim report filed on March 1 with the Wisconsin Assembly. That conclusion represents but one of the key findings of election irregularities detailed in the nearly 150-page report—a report that also confirms the conclusion of the Racine County Sheriff’s office last fall that fraud occurred at nursing homes in Wisconsin.

Special Counsel Michael Gableman , the retired state Supreme Court justice appointed by the Wisconsin Assembly to investigate integrity concerns about the 2020 election , vetted more than 90 nursing homes in five different counties before concluding there was “ widespread election fraud at Wisconsin nursing homes in November of 2020.”

According to the report , nursing home staff and administrators illegally handled absentee ballots, illegally assisted with “ marking ” residents’ ballots , illegally “ witnessed ” the voting , and possibly included forgery of the elderly residents’ signatures. Under Wisconsin law, these violations of the election code constitute fraud.

The fraud uncovered by the special counsel’s office mirrored that revealed late last year by the Racine County Sheriff’s office. This local investigation led to the broader special counsel investigation.

In the Racine County case , the sheriff’s office received a complaint of potential violations of state election law occurring at the Ridgewood Care residential facility. After conducting a thorough investigation of the complaint , Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling held a press conference on October 28, 2021 , in which lead investigator Sgt. Michael Luell methodically presented his findings.

As Luell explained during an hour-long press conference , Section 6.875 of the Wisconsin election code provides the “ exclusive means ” of absentee voting in residential care facilities. That law requires local municipalities to dispatch two special voting deputies , or SVDs ” to such facilities.

Under the election code , those SVDs must personally deliver ballots to any residents of the facility who wish to vote and then witness the voting process. By law , only a relative or a SVD may assist the voter in the process, and after the ballot is completed , the SVD must seal the ballot envelope and deliver it to the elections clerk.

The Ridgewood Care Center in Racine County violated every one of those mandates , Luell explained , with the Wisconsin Election Commission ( WEC ) holding blame for the blatant disregard of state election law taking place at residential facilities because the commission had directed municipalities not to “ use the Special Voting Deputy process to service residents in care facilities ” and to instead “ transmit absentee ballots to those voters by mail ”…

MORBNOTE ; The illegalities seen at Ridgewood in Racine County were repeated at more than 90 other nursing homes in five counties vetted by the special counsel’s team. 

Also ;

The report backed up these conclusions with specifics , such as the case of Resident D. Resident D lived in a facility in Brown County , Wisconsin. Her family took Resident D to vote at her assigned polling location , but when she presented herself to vote on election day , the election workers informed her she had already voted.

After questioning from her family , Resident D recalled someone at the nursing home had talked with her about voting , but she denied voting at the residential facility. Nonetheless , records from 2020 show Resident D cast an absentee ballot.

Here’s the kicker , hence its’ importance ;

With about 92,000 people in Wisconsin who reside in these facilities , the failure of Wisconsin election officials “ to prevent wards and incapacitated persons from voting in the 2020 Presidential election ” casts “ doubt on the election result ” according to the report. Those 2020 general election results showed the midwestern state breaking by 20,682 votes to Joe Biden …

Awash In a Sea of Stupid …

Suddenly , as the preposterous mandates supposedly designed to stop the spread of the Wuhan virus begin to lift , the herd , bereft at the widespread mask-dumping , seems to have latched onto the Russian invasion of Ukraine to prove to us how moral they are. Now , it’s perfectly understandable to be appalled at the destruction. Contributing to relief efforts , for example , is one rational humanitarian response.

But the reaction in many quarters is patently absurd. One of the greatest opera stars , Russian Anna Netrebko, has withdrawn her scheduled performances at the Metropolitan Opera after the General Manager announced ,” we can no longer engage with artists or institutions that support Putin or are supported by him — not until the invasion and killing has been stopped , order has been restored, and restitutions have been made.” Unless she planned to drive a tank to Kiev or to revise the planned operas to sing the praises of Putin , whatever was the point of this ?…

The Montreal Symphony Orchestra has cancelled the piano performance of a young genius, Alexander Malofeev, who was outspokenly critical of the invasion and, indeed, has relatives in Ukraine. 

” The OSM feels that it would be inappropriate to receive Mr. Malofeev this week ” wrote a spokesperson for the orchestra , Pascale Ouimet , in a statement.

“We continue , however , to believe in the importance of maintaining relationships with artists of all nationalities who embrace messages of peace and hope. We look forward to welcoming this exceptional artist when the context allows it.”

And not to be outdone in fecklessness , the Cardiff Philharmonic has removed works by Tchaikovsky from its scheduled program on the ground that “ his music is inappropriate at this time.”  Children’s ballet teachers are crossing their fingers in the hope that this will be over by the annual Christmas Nutcracker performances …

What a load of BULLSHIT !!! …

Tom Brady doesn’t like the couch …

Tom Brady’s retirement lasted 40 days.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion announced his decision on Twitter and Instagram, saying he has “unfinished business.” 

“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands,” Brady wrote. “That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa.”

Brady cited his desire to spend more time with his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and three children when he decided to walk away from the game on Feb. 1. But he changed his mind about staying home, a day after attending the Manchester United match against Tottenham Hotspur. Brady sat with the Glazer Family, who own Manchester United and the Buccaneers.

His reversal sent shock waves throughout the sports world, and his teammates and Buccaneers fans reacted with jubilation.

All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs called it “unreal.” Receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin shared their joy in emojis.

Giants safety Logan Ryan said Brady’s return is “good for football.” Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey tweeted: “THANK YOU! throw that last touchdown on somebody else.”

The Buccaneers are hopeful star tight end Rob Gronkowski also returns. Brady convinced his buddy to unretire to join him in Tampa in 2020.

I figured he couldn’t handle ‘ watching ‘ it !!! … 40 days !!! …

James A. Garfield

The “ deep state ” only came to the attention of most Americans over the last few years ( I’d say 20 , but in terms of Trump vocally shouting out about it , OK .. The past 5 or so it got magnified ) , the controversy over the hiring and firing of civil service employees is one of the oldest controversies of the republic.

As Rating America’s Presidents explains , Andrew Jackson was elected president in 1828 on promises to end the hegemony of a privileged aristocracy , and , to drain that swamp ( Pre-Trump !!! ) , he would need his own men in key positions. He removed a large number of civil service employees and replaced them with men of his own faction , which came to be known as the Democracy , or Democratic Party. This came to be known as the spoils system , after the old adage “ To the victor belong the spoils.”

The term “ spoils system ” is today practically synonymous with government corruption , but Jackson began it as a blow against corruption , preventing the establishment of an entrenched bureaucracy that would oppose the president. The Trump administration made it clear that such a bureaucracy , determined to thwart the president at every turn , is a genuine concern ; it is time for a reconsideration of the spoils system.

The spoils system essentially died with the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881. Garfield believed that the spoils system was an unending source of government corruption and pushed for measures that would end it , only to be shot by a man who publicly proclaimed that he was doing so because he belonged to the faction of the Republican party , the Stalwarts , that supported the spoils system.

Funny how those century old philosophies seemed to switched in the present day nomenclature of the two main political parties …

Garfield’s successor , Chester Arthur , was a Stalwart , but he demonstrated immense personal courage and honor in choosing to carry out the wishes of his slain predecessor rather than implement his own contrary agenda. His decision to do this effectively ended his political career ( Of course ! ) , as he almost certainly knew it would , and yet he stood firm.

Good for you Chester !!! … I sadly admit that , until today , I rarely thought of this gentleman’s name , but will sure remember him hence …

Whether his stance was entirely wise in the long run , however , is a separate question. Historians take for granted that civil service reform was good for the country , and there has been no significant indication that it wasn’t until quite recently , when a president was thwarted in numerous endeavors by an army of unelected bureaucrats within the various departments and agencies of the government , who were determined to impede his agenda in every way possible.

The proponents of civil service reform never envisioned a situation in which unelected and unaccountable opponents of a sitting president in the FBI , the Justice Department , and elsewhere would be determined to destroy the president — or at the very least make it impossible for him to carry out his policies — and could not be removed from their jobs because of civil service regulations.

Wouldn’t government work more smoothly , and the executive branch be able to operate more effectively in the way the Founding Fathers envisioned it would , if the president were able to clear out the employees of these agencies who opposed him and replace them with people more in line with his vision ?

The spoils system ( NOW bastardized by the DEMOCRATIC party ) has no defenders today , and has had none for over a century. It should have more … AS IT WAS ORIGANALLY PROPOSED ! … And Trump is on the right track.
