Maricopa County Responds to AG’s Letter on Election Problems, Claim Not a Single Voter Disenfranchised

Thomas Liddy, Maricopa County’s chief civil division attorney, responded Sunday to a letter from Arizona’s outgoing Attorney General Mark Brnovich ordering county officials to submit a report on its handling of the 2022 election.

Maricopa County, one of the most populous counties in the nation, had notable problems during the November 8 election, including printer and tabulation machine-related issues in at least 70 of the county’s 223 polling locations.

Liddy conceded in the letter that the county had issues on Election Day, but claimed not a single voter was disenfranchised, writing that “every lawful voter was still able to cast his or her ballot.”

“No voter was disenfranchised because of the difficulty the County experienced with some of its printers,” Liddy claimed. “Every voter was provided a ballot by which he or she could record their votes, and all such ballots cast by lawful voters were tabulated, whether in the vote center or at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center.”

Supreme Court Justice Under Fire for Christian Beliefs on LGBT Case

Justice Amy Coney Barrett was urged to recuse herself from an upcoming Supreme Court case on free speech and LGBT issues by former members of a niche Christian group she is affiliated with, arguing the faith organization has discriminatory policies against same-sex marriage.

Former members of the People of Praise organization recently told the Guardian that the justice’s “lifelong and continued” membership in the Christian group means she cannot rule impartially in the case surrounding a Colorado web designer who says her religious beliefs prevent her from creating custom wedding websites that celebrate same-sex marriages. Despite the request from former People of Praise members who call themselves “survivors” of the organization, legal experts say there’s “no basis” for Barrett to recuse herself.

“I think there is not a strong legal argument for her recusal if the basis for the suggestion is the views of the group that they attribute to her,” Jonathan Entin, a constitutional law professor at Case Western University, told the Washington Examiner.

“Supreme Court justices have views and are connected with a lot of organizations, a lot of groups just in general, and that’s not enough,” Entin said, adding it would be “a different situation if that group were a party to the case.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Justice Under Fire for Christian Beliefs on LGBT Case” HERE)

Arizona County Refuses to Certify Election Results, Threatening a GOP House Win

A county in Arizona is refusing to certify the results of its elections following Democratic statewide candidates winning in the state, which could flip a House seat won by a Republican to a Democratic win, according to the Associated Press.

The Board of Supervisors of Cochise County, Arizona, bordering Mexico and the U.S. state of New Mexico in Arizona’s Southeast, voted to not certify the official tally of votes in the general elections of Nov. 8, which saw Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona reelected to a full term and Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs elected the next Governor of Arizona.

A meeting of the board was held on Monday via Zoom, with the only agenda item being a motion to verify the results. In a voice vote, it received zero votes in favor and two votes against, with the Democratic chair not voting, resulting in an acclaimed failure among the three-member board.

Kanye West Claims America Run by ‘300 Zionists’ (VIDEO)

Rapper and entrepreneur Kanye West claimed last week that the U.S. is being run by “300 Zionists,” one of many antisemitic statements that he has continued to make despite criticism and pleas for him to stop.

In a clip that was posted and re-posted by extremists on social media, West is seen to claim: “Somehow our country has been taken over by, you know, maybe about 300 Zionists.” He does not define the term “Zionist.”

Sellin: If Corrupt Tyrants Intend to Govern Illegitimately, Then Stand Up Against the Tyrants

Despite clear maladministration, if not intentional voter suppression and fraud, the Maricopa County, Arizona Board of Supervisors is expected to soon certify the 2022 Election results. This will likely take place this morning.

Corruption in government is a solvable problem, but not without free and fair elections.

So, what do you do when rigged elections won’t let citizens “vote out” a corrupt tyrannical political aristocracy?

One needs to look no further than the Declaration of Independence for an answer, specifically The Preamble:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

We are not equal when a tiny self-centered political elite can determine whose votes will count in elections they have rigged in advance.

What is happening in Arizona today is representative of what is occurring across the country.

Americans, who support a constitutional republic, must acknowledge that the United States is a one-party, semi-authoritarian state ruled by a Globalist Uniparty composed of the Democrat Party, the Republican establishment, a permanent unaccountable oppressive bureaucracy, all supported by international anti-American financiers and an obsequious media.

There is now a sharp division between the bipartisan ruling class and the American people, who are considered retrograde and dysfunctional unless properly controlled by the unquestioned dictates of central authority.

We have elections, but we do not have representative government.

Most members of Congress, seek office, not to uphold the Constitution and serve the American people, but to obtain power, and to use that power to accrue professional and financial benefits for themselves and their wealthy donors.

The Republican establishment component of the Globalist Uniparty has gradually solidified its choice to no longer represent what had been its constituency, but to adopt the identity of junior partners in the ruling class.

All the traditional means for the American people to seek the redress of grievances have now been blocked by a self-absorbed permanent political aristocracy.

Americans are suffering the unsufferable, being subjected to a long train of abuses and usurpations, all designed to place us under absolute despotism.

It now becomes necessary for those who believe in a constitutional republic to dissolve the political bands with the tyrannical Globalist Uniparty.

It was the Arizona contingent of the Globalist Uniparty, which did nothing to correct the identified flaws in the 2020 election, that controlled that state’s 2022 election.

Americans have all the legal means to prevent those who have attained power illegitimately from exercising that power, by publicly declaring independence and initiating a political insurgency.

Organize massive civil disobedience, demonstrations, sick-outs, strikes, lawsuits and otherwise legally over-load the system to bring non-essential state services to a standstill.

Create parallel political and economic systems.

If allowed to rule, the Democrats, who now control the main levers of state power, will amplify all the destructive and oppressive policies of the Biden regime.

Rigged elections only succeed when we allow it.

Arizona is the hill to die on. If not there, then where? If not now, then when?

UN Faces Pushback Against Assertion That ‘Words Can Be Weapons’

The United Nations caught flak on social media for claiming that “words can be weapons.”

“Words can be weapons. Hate speech online can lead to cruelty & violence in real life. Get tips for how you can say #NoToHate,” the U.N. tweeted, linking to a page on its website that discusses the topic of so-called “hate speech.”

“I wish we’d defund you,” conservative radio host Dana Loesch tweeted in response to the U.N.’s post.

“No they can’t. Just stop. You have member nations engaged in slavery & mass murder. How about you get some priorities?” PJ Media columnist Stacey Lennox tweeted.

“No they are not. The UN is useless, corrupt, hypocritical and should be disbanded and forcibly removed from United States soil,” someone else tweeted. (Read more from “UN Faces Pushback Against Assertion That ‘Words Can Be Weapons'” HERE)

White House Walks Back Biden Statement Calling For Ban on Semi-Automatic Weapon Sales

The White House had to issue another correction after President Joe Biden told reporters that he was seeking to ban all semi-automatic weapons.

Biden made the comments while speaking to reporters at a stop in a fire station in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on Thanksgiving. . .

On Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a clarification walking back Biden’s comments after reporter Philip Wegmann asked if he made a mistake.

“No, he was, he was talking about assault weapons,” she explained. “That’s what he was talking on that, on that morning or that afternoon when he was asked that question.”

The latest incident of the White House mopping up after a controversial Biden statement only gave more credence to questions about his mental competency to continue in the Oval Office. The Democrats’ relatively good performance in the midterm elections likely means that Biden will easily garner the presidential nomination for a reelection campaign in 2024.

Disturbing: Woke Sermon About ‘Trans’ Jesus Leaves Churchgoers in Tears

A dean at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. came to the defense of a junior research fellow whose sermon last Sunday about Jesus Christ having a “trans body” reportedly left outraged congregants “in tears.”

Dr. Michael Banner, the dean of Trinity College, said Joshua Heath raised “legitimate” speculation in his Evensong sermon, during which the researcher claimed from the pulpit of Trinity College chapel that non-erotic portrayals of Jesus’ penis in historical paintings “urge a welcoming rather than hostile response towards the raised voices of trans people,” according to The Daily Telegraph.

“In Christ’s simultaneously masculine and feminine body in these works, if the body of Christ as these works suggest the body of all bodies, then his body is also the trans body,” Heath said.

Heath, whose PhD in theology was supervised by the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, also claimed that in one of the Medieval paintings he displayed to the congregation, the spear wound in Jesus’ side “takes on a decidedly vaginal appearance.” In another, he pointed out how the blood from his side flows to his groin.

Heath’s homily during the traditional Anglican service left many in attendance, including children, “visibly uncomfortable,” according to an anonymous congregant who fired off a complaint letter to Banner. Shouts of “Heresy!” reportedly rang out in the church as incensed worshipers left in disgust. (Read more from “Disturbing: Woke Sermon About ‘Trans’ Jesus Leaves Churchgoers in Tears” HERE)

Biden’s Genderfluid, Drag Queen Nuclear Official Charged With Stealing Woman’s Luggage

The Energy Department’s chief of nuclear waste disposal Sam Brinton, who identifies as genderfluid, has been charged with felony theft after allegedly stealing a female victim’s luggage at Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) Airport in September, court documents show.

Brinton, who was hired by the administration in February, was filmed allegedly stealing a woman’s roller bag at the airport’s baggage claim area by security cameras on Sept. 16, according to a criminal complaint filed on Oct. 27. Security footage also showed Brinton taking the woman’s luggage from the baggage carousel and then removing the tags before leaving the scene at a “quick pace,” according to the complaint.

“After DEFENDANT took the blue bag from Carousel 7, DEFENDANT is observed leaving the airport in a Rideshare vehicle with the blue bag,” the complaint read. “Records from American-Airlines confirmed that DEFENDANT did not check a bag when DEFENDANT departed Washington D.C. to MSP Airport.”

Brinton is an outspoken LGBTQ activist and identifies as genderfluid while using they/them pronouns and, according to The Washington Examiner. Brinton was also a member of a drag queen society called the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” and dressed up as a drag queen character called Sister Ray Dee O’Active, according to a 2018 Instagram post.

Brinton was questioned by police on Oct. 9 after security footage showed the nuclear official carrying the bag at Dulles International Airport, according to the complaint; Brinton initially claimed that the bag was taken by mistake, and no clothes or objects had been removed from the case, before revising the story.
