Avalanche of Leftist Lawsuits Aims to Make 2020 Voting Chaos Permanent

/1 Comment/in , /by

Across the country, state legislatures are performing their constitutional duty, passing reforms to improve election procedures that worked well this past election, while addressing those that did not.

Yet as these reasonable, non-discriminatory bills are signed into law, mostly by Republican governors, a common pattern has emerged. D.C.-based Democratic Party-aligned lawyers are immediately filing lawsuits to contest the laws using local groups to establish standing.

These baseless lawsuits consist of copy-and-pasted legal briefs used to attack states focused on election integrity across the nation. With no legal leg to stand on, these lawsuits are light on facts and heavy on unsubstantiated, racially charged rhetoric. Even if these lawsuits don’t ultimately win in court, they attack the moral character of those who support these reforms while firing up left-leaning donors to fill leftists’ political coffers.

More importantly, the left’s goal in fighting these commonsense proposals is to institutionalize the unorthodox and less-secure voting procedures used during the height of the COVID challenge and make them the new norm for a post-pandemic America. Such measures include automatic registration of voters, doing away with any kind of verification that voters are who they say they are, all while pushing a massive expansion of mail-in ballots. The result will be elections that are less fair and free, in perception and reality.

Earlier this month, these left-leaning law firms turned their attention toward Georgia. The same day Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed the Election Integrity Act of 2021, also known as SB202, the lawsuits began pouring in. As of the end of April, there are at least six, all making nearly identical claims.

Late Surge of COVID in Argentina and India Exposes Fraud of Mask Mandates

/0 Comments/in , /by

One hundred days of Biden’s mask-wearing have come due, and they have failed miserably to alter the natural trajectory of the virus. The time has come for lawsuits against the demonic mandate that 2-year-olds wear masks on planes, forcing the government during legal discovery to produce a morsel of evidence that masks make a difference even with adults. . .

Argentina did everything “right,” according to the public health “experts.” The country had one of the earliest and most draconian lockdowns, a mask mandate in place since April 14, and even forced cremation of some of those who died from the virus against the will of Jewish residents who asked for a proper burial.

Argentina, like many of the countries around the world that barely experienced any virus deaths during the first few months of the pandemic, thought that its draconian policies enabled the country to dodge the bullet. But when spring turned into summer, the population began experiencing growth in cases that later intensified, as we have seen in many countries that first escaped the virus. Argentina was praised by the liberal media for following the science and imposing a “strict COVID-19 lockdown,” which “saved lives.”

Given that Argentina had only one major wave, it was due for at least one more robust round, like every other country has had. The “virus is gonna virus” until populations reach herd immunity, like what happened in England and most parts of the U.S. All the places that “defeated” the virus are now having to defeat it again; all the places that did better than those hit first are now doing worse. It’s all natural and has nothing to do with human intervention. Some people might have forgotten about the trajectory of cases in Argentina, but the inimitable Ian Miller is here to remind us:

Then, of course, there is India. During December, as most of the world was experiencing its large winter wave of the virus, India barely had any spread after experiencing a large spread over the summer. The WSJ published an article on Dec. 30 titled, “COVID-19 was consuming India, until nearly everyone starting wearing masks.” You know, because we’ve never seen any place in America with everyone wearing masks that suffered from the virus! NPR hailed India’s success in enforcing mandates on outdoor joggers by stationing police outside to hand out fines.

‘I Will Not Be Intimidated Into Hiding My Faith’: Christian Official Faces Jail for Believing God

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A far-left government prosecutor has announced plans to prosecute – and possibly jail – a Christian who served for years as a member of Finland’s Parliament, including as the nation’s interior minister between 2011 and 2014, over her Christian faith.

The Evangelical Focus publication confirmed Finnish Christian politician Päivi Räsänen has been charged for her social-media posts, a booklet, and her statements during an interview, over a span of 10 years.

She’s a medical doctor who is a leader of the Christian Democrats in Finland, and is charged with three hate crimes against homosexuals, the report said.

The “investigation” that resulted in the charges took nearly two years, including three different “interrogations” of Räsänen, the report said.

The claims against her include that she posted on social media Romans 1:24-27 to criticize a decision by the Finnish Lutheran Church, in which she holds membership, to take part in an LGBT Pride festival for homosexuals, for the contents of a booklet about the Bible titled “Male and Female He Created Them,” which dates to 2004, and her Finnish Public Broadcasting interview where she spoke about “What would Jesus think about homosexuals?” (Read more from “‘I Will Not Be Intimidated Into Hiding My Faith’: Christian Official Faces Jail for Believing God” HERE)

You Simply Cannot Make Up Cuomo’s Latest Advice on the COVID Vaccine

/1 Comment/in , /by

. . .When issuing a warning to those who are hesitant about getting vaccinated, [Andrew Cuomo] said there’s a risk these people could kiss their grandparents and kill them. You literally cannot make this up. Second, New York’s vaccine rollout was a disaster, so Andy is literally the last person you want to hear about anything on COVID. It’s the devil’s candy, folks. Stay away from Cuomo.

Just say no.

Cuomo killed so many of his own residents that it cost the state a congressional seat after being just 89 people shy. (Read more from “You Simply Cannot Make Up Cuomo’s Latest Advice on the COVID Vaccine” HERE)

Former GOP Governor of Florida Running for His Old Job — This Time as a Democrat

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor of Florida turned House Democrat, on Tuesday announced his candidacy for governor, as he seeks for a second time to try and regain his old job steering the Sunshine State.

“Florida should be a place where hard work is rewarded, justice is equal, and opportunity is right in front of you. That’s a Florida for all — and that’s why I’m running for Governor,” Crist wrote on Twitter as he launched his campaign.

And in an accompanying video, Crist took aim at Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’s running next year for a second term as Florida governor. . .

And he charged that “while COVID took the lives of 35,000 Floridians, DeSantis attacked doctors and scientists. He blocked health insurance for 800,000 Floridians, refusing to expand Medicaid. Denied unemployment benefits to women who were pregnant and handed out vaccines to his wealthy contributors while seniors were left waiting.”

Crist also attacked DeSantis for “stripping away your voting rights. He’s against a $15 minimum wage. He doesn’t believe in background checks for guns, doesn’t believe in a woman’s right to choose, doesn’t listen, doesn’t care and unless you can write him a campaign check, you don’t exist.” (Read more from “Former GOP Governor of Florida Running for His Old Job — This Time as a Democrat” HERE)

Donald Trump to Speak at Pro-Life Summit

/1 Comment/in , /by

A half-dozen potential 2024 Republican presidential contenders are speaking Monday and Tuesday at the Susan B. Anthony List’s Pro-Life Leaders Summit in Palm Beach, Fla.

Headlining Monday’s session at the conference of social conservative activists and leaders is former President Trump, who has repeatedly flirted with making a 2024 presidential run.

Also speaking Monday, according to a schedule that was shared first with Fox News, are Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott, whom pundits consider potential presidential contenders in the next White House race.

Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is scheduled to keynote Tuesday’s session. Seen as a rising star on the right, Scott’s seen that star shine brighter the past couple of days, following his GOP rebuttal last week to President Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress. The speech by Scott, the only Black Republican in the Senate, won rave reviews by many conservatives.

Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, 2016 GOP presidential candidates who are considered potential 2024 contenders, will also address the conference on Tuesday. Former Vice President Mike Pence – who has long spotlighted his faith and values and who chose the Palmetto Family Council, a conservative Christian nonprofit based in South Carolina, as the group to whom he would give his first post-vice presidency speech – will address the SBA List gathering via video.

Disturbing Leaked Documents Show China’s Plan to Control the Global Internet; China Acting ‘More Aggressively Abroad’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By The Epoch Times. Chinese leader Xi Jinping personally directed the communist regime to focus its efforts to control the global internet, displacing the influential role of the United States, according to internal government documents recently obtained by The Epoch Times.

In a January 2017 speech, Xi said the “power to control the internet” had become the “new focal point of [China’s] national strategic contest,” and singled out the United States as a “rival force” standing in the way of the regime’s ambitions.

The ultimate goal was for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to control all content on the global internet, so the regime could wield what Xi described as “discourse power” over communications and discussions on the world stage.

Xi articulated a vision of “using technology to rule the internet” to achieve total control over every part of the online ecosystem—over applications, content, quality, capital, and manpower.

His remarks were made at the fourth leadership meeting of the regime’s top internet regulator, the Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission, in Beijing on Jan. 4, 2017, and detailed in internal documents issued by the Liaoning Provincial Government in China’s southeast.

Blinken Says China Acting ‘More Aggressively Abroad’

By Reuters. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview that aired on Sunday that China had recently acted “more aggressively abroad” and was behaving “increasingly in adversarial ways.”

Asked by CBS News’ “60 Minutes” if Washington was heading toward a military confrontation with Beijing, Blinken said: “It’s profoundly against the interests of both China and the United States to, to get to that point, or even to head in that direction.”

He added: “What we’ve witnessed over the last several years is China acting more repressively at home and more aggressively abroad. That is a fact.”

Asked about the reported theft of hundreds of billions of dollars or more in U.S. trade secrets and intellectual property by China, Blinken said the Biden administration had “real concerns” about the IP issue. (Read more from “Blinken Says China Acting ‘More Aggressively Abroad'” HERE)
