A scenario could see former First Lady Michelle Obama nominated outside the Democratic National Convention (DNC) held in Chicago, Ill., from Monday, August 19 through Thursday, August 22.

Sometime after the convention and during a 20-day window, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) could decide without the use of delegates to appoint Michelle the nomination. And it would all be perfectly legal with the framework of the party.

The DNC chair can call a special meeting of the Democratic National Committee, which includes about 500 members, to fill a vacancy on the national ticket. On paper, at least, all it takes is a majority vote of those present to pick a new presidential and vice presidential nominee in a process filled with behind-the-scenes jockeying and public pressure campaigns.

Donna Brazile, as head of the DNC at the time, nearly did it to Hillary Clinton in 2016 after Clinton passed out.

As Biden grows less popular, he grows more feeble, and Kamala Harris has even less favorable numbers than Biden. For the DNC, inclusivity is important, so the nominee replacing Biden has to be of color and female.

That points to Michelle Obama, whose possible nomination is made stronger by acknowledging that an extensive network of former President Obama’s allies is already embedded within the Biden Administration, making the transition seamless, requiring little more than the oath of office.

We’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Gold Star father, Steven Nakoui, was arrested at the State of the Union on Thursday, March 7, and is now being charged with disrupting Congress and faces five years in prison.

His 20-year-old son Kareem was one of the 13 U.S. Marines killed during Biden’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. He lost his temper last night and began shouting when Biden bragged about how safe Americans are under his leadership.

When a Gold Star father bashed Trump, he was given a platform by the media, gave speeches at different events, and went on the news multiple times. When one has a negative opinion about Joe Biden, he’s silenced immediately and arrested.

The Biden administration has turned America into a full-blown police state. When will we awaken?

In the aftermath of the recent Vermont election, concerns have emerged regarding the integrity of the voting process, with some alleging irregularities reminiscent of those seen in the 2020 election. Citing data from the Edison Research election system, critics point to significant fluctuations in vote counts, suggesting the presence of an algorithmic influence on the results.

According to reports, Scytl, a company that processes election data, received raw data directly from officials in at least nine states, including Vermont. Observers noted anomalies in the reported vote counts, which deviated from the expected additive process typical of elections. Instead, there were instances of votes paused, oscillated, and even deleted over time, raising questions about the accuracy and transparency of the electoral process.

Critics argue that such fluctuations in vote counts indicate the presence of an algorithm attempting to manipulate an election’s outcome. They point to examples where the reported percentage of votes counted shifted suddenly, with figures fluctuating from 99 percent to 95 percent, undermining confidence in the data. Concerns over the election data have led to calls for an investigation.

But, just so we are clear, Nikki Haley won the Vermont GOP primary. However, Vermont has an open primary, which means Democrats voted in the GOP primary and is also the state that elected Communist Bernie Sanders to the US Senate.

Contained Rage Over Election 2020, and Now This

In silence, I’ve been seething with rage since goddamn 2020 about the absolute mockery of democracy we call elections in Nevada! Scratch that, it’s been brewing even longer, but that shitshow four years back was the final straw.

I sat there, glued to my effing computer screen, watching it all unfold. And then, what? They dared to tell me it didn’t happen? Like I’m a blind fool.

Well, let me tell you, no spineless sack of crap judge in Nevada has had the guts, the decency, or the damn integrity to dig into the evidence and acknowledge the fact that our votes have been snatched away from us since the turn of the millennium.

And I’m sick of banging on about it, hoping against hope that one honest-to-god judge would have the cajones to look into it instead of burying their head in the sand and pretending like everything’s just fine and dandy. And don’t even get me started on these corporate lackeys masquerading as politicians! RNC and DNC — two sides of the same damn coin, both lining their pockets while we, the people, suffer.

Corporate interests? You bet your ass. They’ve got their grubby little fingers all over our elections, pulling the strings like we’re nothing but puppets on their stage.

And if you don’t want to believe me? Just listen to a man who lives in the belly of the beast.

Clinton Eugene Curtis, a damn computer programmer, spilled the beans on how easy it is to rig these elections. He rigged it, plain and simple, for Congressman Tom Feeney, and he did it with a smile because he knew he could get away with it.

They knew then, and they sure as hell know now, but they don’t give a rat’s ass because it serves their damn agenda. And what about us, the ones whose voices continue to be silenced by deceit and corruption?

They’ve been manipulating us like pawns in their sick game since the freaking Y2K scare! Central tabulators, rigged machines, you name it –they’ve got it all set up to keep us in the dark and keep themselves in power. Our so-called democracy is nothing but a facade, a sham, a goddamn charade to them.

Look, it isn’t about who won or who lost — it is about protecting our Constitutional Republic and our sacred right to free elections. And until we stand up and demand real change, we’ll keep being played like fools by these soulless bastards in suits.

Do you need more proof of the utter travesty that passes for elections in this country?

Well, strap in because I’ve got a fresh pile of bullshit straight from California, the so-called Golden State. They pulled the same damn stunt again, this time right in front of our eyes, and every single Californian needs to wake the hell up and smell the corruption.

They robbed votes from Steve Garvey, folks. Yeah, you heard me right.

Steve-freaking-Garvey was leading the charge against that lying weasel Adam Schiff with a whopping 1.8 million votes. And what do they do? Just like that, they slice it in half, playing some sick game they call the Glitch Switch.

And who comes out on top? Surprise, surprise, it’s Adam Schiff, by a margin so thin it’s practically invisible.

Schiff and his measly 1,247,723 votes crawl ahead while Garvey’s numbers magically dwindle to 1,220,683. Tell me that doesn’t smell fishier than an effing seafood market on King Street in Seattle.

Let me spell it out for you, in case you’re still living in la-la land: this is an algorithm at work, trying to crunch the numbers and screwing over every last one of us in the process. Elections are supposed to be about adding up votes, not subtracting them or playing some twisted game of musical chairs with our democracy.

Each vote should be an addition, plain and simple, with zero deletions, no damn oscillations — just a straightforward tally of the people’s voices. But what do we get instead? A circus act where the outcome is decided by some unseen hand, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering what the hell just happened.

So, to all you Californians out there and my fellow Nevadans, wake the fuck up. It is not a dystopian nightmare — it’s reality, and it’s time to take back control from these conniving thieves, whom we elect to represent us and instead believe they are our leaders.

In a quaint little town where the fences were low,
Lived a kitten so curious, with places to go.
Through a crack in the fence, she crept with delight,
And discovered a puppy, a marvelous sight!

With wagging tails and curious eyes,
They greeted each other with joyful cries.
They romped and they played both sun and rain,
Their friendship bloomed, oh, what a gain!

When the clouds rolled in and the raindrops fell,
They sought shelter in the dog’s cozy shell.
In her little house, snug as could be,
They laughed and they played, so wild and free.

But as days turned to months and months to years,
Their bond grew stronger, allaying fears.
The puppy grew tall, a dog so fine,
While the kitten matured, his fur so divine.

No longer confined by the fence’s plight,
The young dog leaped over, a magnificent sight!
Into the kitten’s world, they explored anew,
In the yard and the garage, their adventures grew.

Yet whispers arose, from others around,
Cats and dogs, they were not to be found.
“You can’t be friends, it’s just not right,”
But they ignored the words, shining bright.

For friendship knows no bounds, no rules to obey,
In the garage, they frolicked, come what may.
Their love endured, through storm and weather,
Proving that friends, they can be, forever.

So let them say what they will, those naysayers’ cries,
For the kitten and dog, they’ve uncovered the prize.
In a world filled with doubt, they’ve shown it true,
Cats and dogs, friends forever, through and through.

Washoe County Commission Chairwoman Alexis Hill has stirred another controversy by unilaterally canceling the upcoming Tuesday, March 12, county board meeting, citing a scheduling conflict due to her role as Chairwoman of the Tahoe Transportation District.

Despite the availability of a quorum for the meeting, Hill instructed County Manager Eric Brown to reschedule two upcoming meetings due to her commitments. Insiders within the county government are expressing outrage, suggesting that Hill’s cancellation was motivated by the anticipation of a significant presence of homeless advocates and related organizations planning to protest a proposed ordinance banning living in cars on public roadways.

Supported by Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam and already adopted by the City of Reno and the City of Sparks, the ordinance has become a contentious issue. With Hill facing reelection, some insiders speculate that her decision to cancel the meeting is politically motivated to avoid a controversial vote.

Critics within the county government argue that Hill’s actions have effectively halted county business and question her leadership during this crucial time. They point to the historical custom of the chair relinquishing their position when running for reelection, citing former Washoe County Commission Chair Bob Lucey’s example.

Commissioner Mike Clark, who defeated Lucey in a previous election, weighed in, questioning the necessity of Hill’s cancellation given the presence of a quorum and highlighting the importance of including the rest of the board in such decisions.

Hill’s Republican challenger, Marsha Berkbigler, condemned the cancellation, emphasizing the importance of addressing the concerns of constituents and the homeless population. She argued that the meeting should proceed as planned to allow the county to conduct its business on behalf of the people.

And while on the subject of Hill, questions have arisen over her dual roles as both a candidate and as the Chair of the County Commissioners.

As the Commission Chair, Hill oversees the Registrar of Voters (ROV) office and has a close relationship with the ROV and the County Manager, raising concerns about potential biases and lack of impartiality.

Allegations of the purposeful suppression of election integrity resolutions have cast a shadow over Hill’s tenure, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into these troubling claims. Making the situation worse is an ongoing lawsuit against Hill, personally and in her official capacity, for alleged mal-feasance and election violations.

Despite mounting concerns from citizens and advocacy groups, the response from various entities, like law enforcement, including Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balam and Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, state officers like Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, state legislators, civil rights groups, and political parties, has been noticeably muted.

A Teacher with the Washoe County School District (WCSD) has taken legal action against the agency, citing a violation of his constitutional rights. Richard Scott Mead asserts that Administration Regulation 5161 (AR 5161) directly contradicted his religious beliefs and led to his suspension.

AR 5161, adopted by the WCSD, prohibits school staff from informing parents about changes in their child’s gender identity, sexual orientation, pronouns, and transgender status. This regulation effectively allows the WCSD to make significant decisions regarding a child’s identity without parental input, including name changes, pronoun usage, and access to facilities based on gender identity.

Furthermore, a controversial program known as “Brave Space” has been implemented, granting students autonomy over matters of gender identity and non-conformity while bypassing parental involvement. Mead argues that such actions violate his religious beliefs and raise legal concerns regarding AR 5161 and associated training programs.

Upon receiving Brave Space Training, Mead sought legal counsel to understand the legality of the WCSD’s actions. However, instead of addressing his concerns, the WCSD responded by suspending him without pay and tarnishing his professional reputation, hindering his career advancement within WCSD.

It marks the first case brought by a teacher against the district for the implementation of AR 5161. A similar case, filed by a parent and child, awaits a decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Attorneys Sigal Chattah and Joey Gilbert will represent the plaintiffs in both cases.

Connecticut National Guard member Chasity Nunez, 27, and her 11-year-old daughter Zella were killed in broad daylight on Tuesday, March 5, in Worcester, Mass.

The murders have massive criminal records.

Karel Mangual is a gang member released on $1,000 bail despite assaulting a police officer. He nearly killed a man in 2013, tried to run over a cop in 2019, was caught selling crack in 2022, and has a fugitive case against him for an illegal gun in 2023.

Dejan Belnavis is the 2nd suspect. He is also a gang member and was charged in 20-plus prior criminal cases.

After the shooting, police tracked the alleged getaway car to Hartford, Connecticut. Belnavis has relatives in the area and witnessed getting out of the vehicle on surveillance video.

They both had illegal firearms and yet not a peep out of the legacy media or our elitist politicians because none of this fits their agenda.

In a coordinated effort that began in April 2020, a coalition involving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), NATO, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and other entities embarked on a mass censorship campaign across various social media platforms to censor any questioning the legitimacy of mail-in ballots.

Stanford University, The University of Washington, Graphika, and The Atlantic Council, all “Pentagon cutouts,” were identified as players in this initiative, indicating their operational ties to the Pentagon in executing the censorship campaign. These institutions pressured social media companies to adopt the new speech violation category “delegitimization,” covering any content challenging the legitimacy of mail-in voting, early voting dropboxes, or ballot tabulation on election day.

The pressure exerted on the tech companies went beyond advisory, as there was governmental force and consequences for non-compliance, as direct channels of communication were set up with tech company executives to expedite content takedown requests, causing countless posts, particularly those questioning the security of mail-in ballots, were either removed or restricted, amounting to potentially hundreds of millions of affected posts.

The censorship campaign began seven months before the election, driven by concerns over the perceived legitimacy of a potential victory for then-candidate Joe Biden in what was termed a ‘red mirage, blue shift event.’ The coalition strategists recognized that Biden’s path to victory relied heavily on Democrat use of mail-in ballots while fearing a scenario where initial results appeared to favor President Donald Trump, only to be reversed in favor of Biden as mail-in ballots got tallied in the days following the election.

In a recent announcement from the Treasury Department, two individuals and a Greece-based commercial spyware company faced the brunt of sanctions.

The accused? Intellexa Consortium, allegedly steered by a former Israeli military officer, allegedly crafted technology for surveilling U.S. government officials, journalists, and policy experts.

The revelation prompts an examination of the narrative, suggesting that the Deep State is eager to deflect accountability for its election interference. The sanctioned entities, including Intellexa and its affiliates, are accused of peddling surveillance tools like “Predator,” which enable invasive surveillance through zero-click attacks, jeopardizing data and privacy on a global scale.

Brian Nelson, Treasury Undersecretary, stressed the imperative of curbing the misuse of such technologies, citing national security concerns. However, observers cannot overlook the convenient alignment of this crackdown with the narrative aiming to divert attention from the internal issues of election integrity.

Recently, the Biden administration unveiled visa restrictions for those who misuse commercial spyware to target journalists, activists, and dissidents. Nevertheless, we are supposed to swallow the narrative that our 2020 elections epitomized fairness and transparency.

The dissonance between action and rhetoric raises legitimate questions about the state of our electoral processes and the forces shaping them behind the scenes.
