Duplicity

Bernie's back in the news, like the proverbial bad penny.

Levi Sanders is running for the Democratic congressional nomination in New Hampshire, but he can’t count on his father for his endorsement.

Levi announced his candidacy last February, but his dad hasn't bestowed his endorsement upon his son.

As you know, Bern ran against Pantsuit in the 2016 Democrat primary, but reportedly is very perturbed because the DNC is considering changing things so that when 2020 rolls around, you'll have to be - you know - an actual Democratic to run in their primary. That's just so unfair!

But there's a lot of weird stuff going on in the news today. In Wisconsin, there's this one:

Yes, about that...

Watertown Police are investigating after more than a dozen people accused Charisse Daniels of forging their names on her documents, WITI-TV reported. Daniels may not be allowed to remain on the ballot pending a decision by the Wisconsin Elections Commission on Monday, June 11. The police investigation into the election fraud allegations, meanwhile, was launched on Tuesday.

One of the addresses on Daniels’ paperwork was actually an empty lot, according to WITI.

It's a pretty lot, though - nice and green and sustainable and all that. This little setback is probably all just a misunderstanding; perhaps a cultural issue. If not, then things could get expensive, as each violation carries a $1000 fine and/or six months in jail. On the other hand, the latter penalties would likely not be imposed, since the current mantra is that it's cruel to tear apart families....

I suspect the Russians were involved.

And around the country:

A new lawsuit alleged the Democrats may have funneled as much as $84 million into Clinton’s campaign in a scheme to apparently get around campaign contribution limits , according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which reported that Nevada’s Democratic Party could get pulled into the lawsuit.

Not that Democratics would ever do anything like that; their respect for law and order is well-documented (unlike the illegal aliens they're always rushing to aid). I well recall the uproar in Chicago a few years ago, when the FAA decided that O'Hare International Airport needed to add another runway. Democratics were outraged because the new runway would bisect a nearby cemetery, disenfranchising as many as 300 voters.

 

Forget Russians - Go For Soros!

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The race for District Attorney in Washington County and others is usually a boring affair. But for the first time in 20 years there are political fireworks, thanks to an out-of-state group with ties to liberal billionaire George Soros getting involved on behalf of one of the candidates.

For months, Chief Deputy DA Kevin Barton had been running unopposed to replace his retiring boss, Bob Hermann, to take over the DA's office in Hillsboro. But last month on the day of the filing deadline, little known defense attorney Max Wall threw his name into the race. Rumors swirled that Wall had been recruited by a Soros political operative named Whitney Tymas out of Washington, D.C.

Soros and Tymas have a history of trying to influence district attorney races in different parts of the country. 

The Washington County District Attorney race is an example of an ideological battle raging in Oregon and other parts of the country. There is a split between groups who think recent drops in crime rates are due to tough laws that keep dangerous people locked up, versus the camp who believes large prison populations are costing states too much.

It'll be nice when Soros finally takes his dirt nap. His constant meddling in our elections has become tiresome. Here in Oregon, he's sent $25,000 to our governor from Minnesota, and now he wants to buy a District Attorney in Washington County as well.

Oh, but he only buys Democratics, so it's all good.

 

How Can We Miss You When You Won't Go Away?

My, what a difference a year can make!

Hillary Clinton

 

✔ @HillaryClinton

 Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.

That’s a direct threat to our democracy.

9:53 AM - Oct 24, 2016

 

Times have changed.  In a new interview with left-wing magazine Mother Jones, Clinton refuses to concede that the election she lost had been legitimate.

 

She cites "voter suppression" along with the Russians, by which she means that she subscribes wholeheartedly to that time-honored maxim among Democratics (particularly in Chicago): Vote Early, Vote Often.  And she views voter ID laws, which most Americans support, as "voter suppression".

 

Hillary "It was my turn" Clinton simply refuses to accept that she will not sit on any throne other than the one in her bathroom. Felonia von Pantsuit lost not because of Russians or voter suppression, but because so many simply didn't like what they've seen of her over the past couple of decades. She can't bring herself to accept that fundamental reality.

 

 

What Voter Fraud?

Oh...that voter fraud:

HARRISONBURG, Va. — A man paid to register Virginia voters prior to the 2016 Presidential Election will spend at least 100 days in prison for submitting the names of deceased individuals to the Registrar’s Office.

James Madison University student Andrew J. Spieles, 21, of Harrisonburg, pled guilty Monday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. As part of the plea agreement, Spieles agreed to a prison sentence of 100 to 120 days.

Spieles worked for Harrisonburg Votes when he committed the crime, according to acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle.

Harrisonburg Votes is a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party.

What's with this nonsense? Everybody knows that voter ID disenfranchises minority voters, so it only makes sense to ensure that dead people aren't similarly disenfranchised from their right to vote Democratic. They've been doing it in Chicago for years with great success. It's like recycling, in a sense.

But Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist!

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Twelve employees of a Democrat-linked group focused on mobilizing black voters in Indiana are accused of submitting fake or fraudulent voter registration applications ahead of last year’s general election in order to meet quotas, according to charging documents filed Friday.

If convicted of all charges, each employee faces 2.5 years in prison. The group that employed them, Indiana Voter Registration Project, faces a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Oregon Still Fails To Meet Federal Standards

Not that it matters to me, as I have a passport and passcard, so I don't need to rely on a stupid Oregon driver's license for real identification. The nutty Democratics who've been running the state for nearly four decades have a real antipathy toward the concept, though - so they work hard to ensure that everybody can vote whether they're entitled to do so or not.

Our Democrat overlords (most of whom are from out of state, as in, they came here from back east) really hate laws and things like the oath of office. They believe that they should get to pick and choose which laws - if any - they will abide by.

So: death penalty? Nope, not enforced by the last two governors despite the fact that they swear to enforce all laws.

Sanctuary cities? You bet. Hell no, we won't cooperate with ICE. Amid much crowing and hoopla, they passed a law allowing illegal aliens to get driver's cards - which Oregon voters immediately shot down.

Claiming a budget crisis and demanding more taxes, they nonetheless push for "voter-owned elections", in which taxpayer funds are used to pay for political campaigns. Portland City Council passed that, despite being unable to repair potholes in streets. When voters got the chance to give their input via the ballot, they shot that sucker down, too. And yet, politicians are pushing for "VOE2".

Voters killed the public employee union-written Measure 97 last year, which would have imposed a tax on corporate gross receipts (not profits). We recognized that it was a sales tax on everything from food to medicine to energy and more. Guess what the Democratics are now trying to impose via legislation?

With $1.5 billion more in revenue this biennium over the last biennium, they still claim that there's a $1.4 billion "budget shortfall", so they need more money.

No. What they need is to live within their means - and quit looking for ways to steal more of our money.

They're considering a bill that would "allow" Oregonians to pay an additional $20 to obtain a driver's license that complies with federal security requirements. No. Learn to adhere to our laws for a change.

That's why I renewed the passport; Oregon government simply can't be trusted. And every now and then, I have to take a flight somewhere. Or I might want to drive up into Canada. And as of next year, and Oregon driver's license won't be sufficient for either. But by golly, they're working on offering a "third gender" on Oregon driver's licenses!

That's the really important thing.

Oregon Democratics: Proudly Promoting Voter Fraud For Two Decades

And now they want to take it nationwide. Despite their claims, there is no "growing tide of voter suppression". No boys and girls, if I have to present identification to take a plane ride, to get a pass for parks admission, or to cash a check, it is not "voter suppression" to require the same at election time.

W. VA. Goes Zombiephobic

Republican Mac Warner has been West Virginia's secretary of state for only 45 days, and already he has suppressed the votes of up to 36,635 dead people -- in an act of zombiephobia that defies logic and reason.

Here in America, the rule is "one person, one vote". Nowhere does anything say that you have to be alive in order to vote Democrat - a loophole that Chicago has availed itself of for around half a century. The precedent is undeniable.

Election Integrity

It may come as a surprise, but voter fraud actually does occur in the USA:

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced an investigation has uncovered that hundreds of non-US citizens are registered to vote in the state, and dozens of them voted illegally.

Obviously, the numbers will vary from state to state, but despite what we're told, it does occur. Here in Oregon, our Secretary of State recently announced that there is no evidence of voter fraud occurring here. But in a state where everything is done by mail, how would he be able to reach such a determination? If ten ballots are mailed to an assisted living home, what would prevent the caretakers from filling them out? Further, thanks to the Democratics, everyone who gets a driver's license is now automatically registered to vote. Those are among the reasons why I believe that photo identification and physical polling places are essential. And then there's this:

Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would require investigations of jurisdictions in the state whose voter rolls contain more registered voters than citizens who are eligible to vote. The bill, first introduced by Republican state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain, was prompted by a report that shed light on eight Virginia counties that had more registered voters on their voter rolls than eligible voters.

Let's see: there are more voters than there are eligible citizens. It seems perfectly reasonable to look into that. But being a Democratic, Terry trotted out the "potential disenfranchisement" line and went on to say that the bill would impose undue administrative burdens upon staff - whose job is to ensure election integrity. Can't have that!

 

Oregon's Errant Governor, Public Employee Unions, And "Contributions"

Kate Brown: “It was clear transparency was not a priority in the prior administration,” she told lawmakers. “I changed that my first day on the job and every day since.” 

Well, not exactly. She used her government credit card for personal expenses and only reimbursed the state after she got caught.

Then there's this little oddity noted by the group "American Transparency":

In 2016, as politicians across America were fleeing voter wrath, Oregon’s governor and attorney general were blazing an unlikely trail – accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from businesses with state contracts.

Since 1940, at the federal level, individuals and entities negotiating or working under federal contracts are prohibited from giving political cash to candidates, parties or committees. In Oregon, however, this political patronage is perfectly legal, at least for now.

Even Illinois doesn't allow this sort of thing. It may be up for a change here in Oregon, finally, as a representative from Bend is moving legislation that would ban the practice of allowing businesses and unions with state contracts to make political campaign contributions. He'd like to see the state at least meet the standards that have been in place at the federal level for nearly 80 years.

Unsurprisingly, the public employee unions call the effort "shameful", claiming that "working-class Oregonians who pool political funds through a union can't participate" - a claim that's ludicrous on its face: public employee unions collect monthly "dues" from employees and use a large portion of the funds to contribute to Democrat campaigns. If an employee objects to having his or her "dues" diverted to political campaigns, union bosses are quick to assure them that "Oh, no - your "dues" go only to support contract negotiations and so forth." The political money comes from fairies or something.

Moreover, if a union employee wishes to contribute to a political cause or campaign, he or she is free to do so - which is to say, participation is not denied them by barring unions with state contracts or negotiations from contributing to candidates.

Speaking of Oregon public employee unions, however, somebody should donate a lot of thongs to them, because the bosses have their panties in a wad over proposals to alter the Public Employee Retirement System, which is presently underfunded by between $22 billion and $50 billion, depending upon which scenario one wishes to contemplate.

Over the years, PERS has been divided into three generations, based on date of hire — Tier 1, Tier 2, and the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan.

Senate Bill 559 would require that retirement benefits be calculated using the average salary from the final five years of employment, instead of the current three years.

Senate Bill 560 would take the 6 percent of salary employees contribute, or have contributed on their behalf, to a defined contribution plan called the Individual Account Program and redirect it to their retirement benefits. The bill also caps the amount of salary used in benefits calculations at $100,000.

Both bills have public employee union bosses in a state of apoplexy; their "solution", as always, is "more revenue" - as in higher taxes. This is because when their tax burden increases, they'll simply "negotiate" higher compensation packages from the compliant Democratics whose campaigns they fund. Which means that, well, there will have to be even more revenue to pay for that. And so it continues.
