    The other is the Review of U.S. Park Police Actions at Lafayette Park.

    If there is proof of election fraud, why hasn't it been presented to any

    court? Why have have lawyers purporting to possess such evidence been all but laughed out of the courts?

    Was it China? Or was it the Deep State? Or maybe it was Italian satellites?
    Oh, but wait... it was "Biden and his team of thieves." Are you saying the people saying it was China, the Deep State, or Italian satellites don't have proof of what they're talking about?

    There are no videos showing proof of widespread election fraud. It is the claims of fraud that are questionable, not the election.

    This is not an episode of "ancient aliens" where the phrase "ancient astronaut theorists believe" is repeated a half of dozen times.
    Nor it is this only asking questions but answering those concerns about election fraud.

    If you choose to not believe video evidence of ballots being run more then once which was clearly shown or the Digital Forensics also shown within these videos then that is your business, but there will be those who will not be able to ignore it.

    It doesn't matter what Biden says or does no matter how awful. It was always about anybody but Trump. Election results were fabricated to the desired result.

    Truth always finds it's way out of darkness.
    Just remember Jeff, when this happens. Remember my statement, but even if you don't. You know I will be the one say "Told ya so!"

    Except they don't answer them, do they? They show you a video and then expect you to believe their explanation of what is happening in the video. The "evidence" is in their explanation, not the video itself. But what if their explanation is wrong, and there's a better explanation for what is happening
    in the video?

    If you choose to not believe video evidence of ballots being run more
    then once which was clearly shown or the Digital Forensics also shown within these videos then that is your business, but there will be those who will not be able to ignore it.

    As for running ballots more than once, I could see legitimate explanations
    for that. What if the ballot had issues the first time around? You're
    assuming that once a balot is run, the contents of that ballot are
    immediately merged into the totals. But what if the ballots are batched and then verified before their data is sent off. What if a batch is rerun if any errors were detected? What if each batch is run twice to confirm that it was read properly? All of these are legitimate reasons to run a ballot twice, but they're not mentioned in your "evidence," are they? The "evidence" just
    assumes that running a ballot twice is automatically bad, regardless of any procedures in place that may not be being taken into consideration.

    As far as the forensic evidence, are you referring to the "packets" seen scrolling across a screen? Packets of lots of hexadecimal numbers that aren't immediately human-readable but which you've been assured are "evidence" of wrongdoing? Those hexadecimal numbers have been analyzed; it's ASCII. It's a copy of the Pennsylvania voter roll, which is available to anyone.

    um the video talks about as well as shows how multiple people running
    entire trays of ballots 2 to 3 times.. These are not troublesome few ballots
    as you have alleged...

    Then the video shows officials who are in the office setting talking about how weird that is, when person even questions why we have systems that do that?

    Here is the problem, what I mean is I have posted these videos via the link and they do show incredible proof such as one women who was caught and is
    currently serving time in prison for illegality collecting 50G for 5000
    votes, in advance of the election.

    I don't know if you were drunk and or high when and if you watched these videos, or just that you're far left where your just going to deny that any video evidence.

    Still not Ok but what about the vote in California where 1 vote can be converted into a decimal or a value and then be assigned to more then 1 person and the larger half of course going to Biden, the lesser half going to Trump.

    There were a multitude of issues across many states that has happened and no logical explanation in sight.

    That sounds like re-running batches to me. Perhaps there were discrepancies that required re-running them. Also, re-running batches at random wouldn't necessarily benefit Biden.

    Then the video shows officials who are in the office setting talking
    about how weird that is, when person even questions why we have systems that do that?

    Are you certain that these are officials, and that that's what they're discussing?

    for 5000 votes, in advance of the election.

    How exactly does one collect 5000 votes in advance of the election?

    I don't know if you were drunk and or high when and if you watched these videos, or just that you're far left where your just going to deny that any video evidence.

    And you seem to think that we have secret ballots. We do not. The ballots contain identifying information that flags multiple votes by the same person. How do you think they catch people who try to vote more than once?

    Still not Ok but what about the vote in California where 1 vote can be converted into a decimal or a value and then be assigned to more then 1 person and the larger half of course going to Biden, the lesser half
    going to Trump.

    This sounds like you're confusing citizen votes with either delegate votes
    (for the primaries) or Electoral College votes (for the general election). Other than that, I can find no references to any such system in California.

    There were a multitude of issues across many states that has happened
    and no logical explanation in sight.

    Of course there are logical explanations. It's just not in your best interest to recognize them as such. It's much more beneficial to you to pretend that they don't exist, so that you can believe in nefarious explanations instead.

    Heel spurs hurt like hell, there's no cure, and the pain can be a major distraction. I was a door guard, but I was too focused on the pain and I
    failed to guard the door.

    Ever notice how Trump always leans against the podium? That's heel spurs. We don't need heel spurs defending a platoon when they can't even defend a door.

    Bone spurs do not qualify as a condition for a medical deferment.

    Trump's problem has nothing to do with "heel spurs".
    It has everything to do with being morbidly obese.
    Most folks his size and weight are dead.
    Maybe he is too stupid to understand that.
    Which could be the reason he is still alive.
    However, to the best of my knowledge, morbid obesity
    is not a medical condition that qualifies one for

    and I believed that person.

    Money talks. People listen. Nobody has seen the papers the doctor
    supposedly filled out qualifying Trump for a medical deferment.
    Why is that? Because his "bone spurs" problem was just an excuse.
    An excuse for the doctor to accept a bribe to keep a rich boy out
    of having to serve in Vietnam.

    kind of disguise the fox might be wearing.

    Clinton, Obama, Biden, Harris, none of them look very fat to me. What's their

    Clinton did not "dodge the draft" by paying off a doctor to come up
    with an excuse to avoid having to serve in Vietnam.

    Obama was too young to be drafted, and was out of the country,
    spending most of his time praying at a mosque.

    Biden was busy drafting legislation in the US Senate.

    Harris was still in grammar school, and needed no excuse being
    a little girl in California.

    All in great shape, unlike the turd that just exited the WH in January.

    The Truth always will find its way out from efforts of darkness.

    Indeed it does.

    New information revealed by former AG Barr indicates that Barr thought
    Trump's claims of election fraud were "bulls**t" and "a joke." Barr also
    said that based on conversations he'd had with Trump, he believes that Trump knew the claims were false but stuck to them anyway.

    Bill Clinton registered for the draft, and was willing to serve
    in Vietnam, but was fortunate not to have been drafted.

    Al Gore was drafted, and served honorably in Vietnam as a journalist.

    George W. Bush avoided service in Vietnam by having his daddy find
    him a coveted spot in the Texas Air National Guard in order to keep
    the Viet Cong from invading Texas.

    Dick Cheney was chicken to fight any war, so he got himself five
    deferments, including one to make a baby with his wife, which worked
    just fine for him.

    Barack Obama was too young to serve in Vietnam, but was such a
    gifted speaker he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

    Donald J. Trump could not stand the sight of blood and wound up
    getting five deferments (just like Cheney), including one for having
    bone spurs on his feet.

    True, but 2 years would be like 13 cycles. I'd think one would get booted out as untrainable after 3 or 4.

    My father served for about 4 years total but also was never in combat. He is technically eligible for some veteran's benefits but has always refused to

    Your daddy was/is an asshole.

    Most veterans are proud of their country, and of the time they

    was, or if they served in time of peace or in time of war.

    I am sorry to hear your father did not feel that way about this
    country, which has/had given so much to him.

    I do not know any veteran who is or was proud to have killed
    "the enemy". They did what they had to do in order to protect
    this country and all its citizens from harm.

    Yes, your daddy really was/is an asshole.

    Hello Everybody,

    Mike Powell (and others) expressed an opinion that some folks
    mistakenly believe is an entitlement they do not deserve. Even
    though every American, without exception, has truly earned it.
    What the heck am I talking about? Veterans benefits. Those who
    have served this country do not exclude those who have made the
    ultimate sacrifice, but are inclusive of all who have served
    honorably. Including those who have never seen combat, or those
    who have been sent overseas.

    Sure, some have made the ultimate sacrifice. But it took all
    who have served to protect us from harm, as well as those who
    supported our troops.

    Today we no longer have a draft to ensure having enough people
    to serve in the military. In its place we have a mercenary army.
    Individuals who are paid for their service. And we ensure that
    they also receive veterans benefits, just as those who had been
    drafted.

    Trained killers. Paid to do a job nobody else wants to do.
    And yet some folks want to call them "Peacekeepers".

    He also refuses to be honored as a veteran because he was never in combat.
    Is
    that common? The Army offered him a hearing aid and he refused to take a
    penny
    from them. He said "There are people who sacrificed more than just 2 years
    of
    basic."

    My father served for about 4 years total but also was never in combat. He is
    technically eligible for some veteran's benefits but has always refused to do so because, in his mind, you are not really a vet unless you got shipped
    outside the country somewhere.

    For years, we didn't know that my grandfather had earned a Purple Heart during WWII. He never liked to talk about it because, unlike others he knew, he got to come home and in one piece. He felt like they deserved more
    attention.

    When soldiers returned from Vietnam, many of them were greeted
    by folks who called them "baby killers" - among other things.
    Was that fair? Remember, the average age of a soldier in Vietnam
    was age 19. Too young to have raised a family. 58,000+ dead in
    that senseless war. And that was just the American kids. Almost
    all of them drafted.

    There should never be any wars. Anywhere in the world.

    An exchange of human lives for real estate.

    Only the good die young. The old get all the benefits.

    Agreed.

    My dad volunteered during Vietnam. He wanted to be gunner, I think, but

    for Vietnam. They were one of the first units sent to Desert Shield, but
    that was long after my father's service ended.

    Several years later, but still before Desert Shield, he volunteered again
    for an Air Guard group. That unit was involved in doing air drops from
    C-130s (??) and, after he had finished his obligation, was one of the units that was used during the Bosnian conflict (or maybe Iraq... I forget now).

    Hello Mike,

    Now I'm seeing a pattern of what really is common, at least for 80 year
    old
    "former military members." They know better than to soak up someone else's
    valor.

    Agreed.

    We have become a country of paper tigers. Unable to stop any aggressor
    from doing what it wants. Russia gets to keep its illegal annexation of
    Crimea. The Taliban gets to retake its role in Afghanistan. North Korea continuing to build its nuclear stockpile. Iran enriching its uranium.

    I appreciate people who "completed basic" and/or left the military after
    they
    fulfilled their obligation. They were ready to fight, but didn't have to,
    and
    that's respectable.

    Respectable? Many people flunked out of basic. Whether they had
    been drafted or had volunteered. Why should any of them be any less "respectable" than those who were able to pass basic training so as
    to become "more than you can be"? Thank god we have a basic training,
    so that those who are unable to serve can return to civilian life
    and remain full-fledged members of our society.

    My dad volunteered during Vietnam.

    Good for him. Today, everybody volunteers to serve in our mercenary
    army.

    He wanted to be gunner, I think, but failed the USAF eye exam.

    He wanted to become a trained killer. A specific type of trained
    killer. While he did not qualify to become the type of killer he
    wanted to be, the military did train him to be a killer.

    He was then recruited into a unit that had seen action during WWII and Korea.

    IOW, a killer wannabe being re-assigned to a unit of fully trained
    and experienced killers.

    Somehow, they managed not to get called up for Vietnam.

    Goody for him and his unit. All packed up and ready to go, but kept
    stranded on the ground.

    They were one of the first units sent to Desert Shield, but
    that was long after my father's service ended.

    Oh, well. Thems the breaks. Being left behind while his buddies
    went off to war ...

    Several years later, but still before Desert Shield, he volunteered again for an Air Guard group. That unit was involved in doing air drops from C-130s (??) and, after he had finished his obligation, was one of the units
    that was used during the Bosnian conflict (or maybe Iraq... I forget now).

    How does any of that make him a hero? Or any of those who actually
    saw combat a hero? Whether an individual who served in the military
    due to having being drafted or did so by volunteering makes no
    difference. None of them are or were heroes. They did the job they
    were required to do, and most did so honorably. Some even went
    beyond what they were asked, giving the ultimate sacrifice.

    The best military is one that never has to be deployed, keeping
    us all safe from harm from enemies by simply being there.

    Why did you join the military?

    I didn't join the military, but my argument is that people shouldn't call themselves "veteran" if they didn't serve in combat, and they shouldn't expect the army to pay for all their medical needs 65 years after they finished their contract. Especially not while other veterans are in need of prosthetic limbs.

    Lee insists that anyone who joined the army should milk the system for what it's worth whether they were in combat or not.

    Do you assume everything? That's crazy! My dad wasn't drafted; he didn't serve in combat. He talks about his time in the army often as has never complained about it. He lives in a beautiful big house on a tiny retirement income. He doesn't get food stamps, energy assistance, or medicaid. He has medicare because he was automatically enrolled when he retired, although he's also paying a monthly premium for extra insurance that medicare don't cover.

    He taught me a lot, and I live by his philosophy most of the time. Expecting other people to wipe your ass is a mistake. "Oh but I was in the Army.."

    It's still commendable. These old guys put themselves in dangerous situations just by being on standby. Dodging bullets was part of basic training (at
    least in the old days.) It's a lot more than I did for this country.

    It blows my mind that people would trash these old guys just for not drinking Democrat kool aid.

    I didn't join the military, but my argument is that people shouldn't
    call themselves "veteran" if they didn't serve in combat, and they

    Most would disagree with you, including most governments. My driver's
    liscense says veteran even though I did not serve in combat.

    shouldn't expect the army to pay for all their medical needs 65 years after they finished their contract.

    I do not expect nor do I desire any medical assistants from the VA.

    Especially not while other veterans
    are in need of prosthetic limbs.

    The VA should set priorities. I don't know what they are since I do not
    deal with them.

    Lee insists that anyone who joined the army should milk the system for what it's worth whether they were in combat or not.

    And what credence do you put into his statements?

    Hello Aaron,

    Your daddy did not volunteer to serve in the military.
    He hated doing a job he was drafted by our government to do.
    But he still deserved all the entitlements he earned from
    serving.

    Do you assume everything? That's crazy! My dad wasn't drafted; he didn't serve in combat.

    I merely made a few comments based on what you posted about your
    daddy. No assumptions at all. Please feel free to review the
    transcripts of your own posts, and my responses. It's all there.

    He talks about his time in the army often as has never complained
    about it.

    That is not what you have stated in your previous posts.

    He lives in a beautiful big house on a tiny retirement income.

    Good for him. And thanks to our military (those who really did
    do their jobs) he can live a nice life here in the good ol' USA.
    And be proud he never had to put his own life on the line.

    He doesn't get food stamps, energy assistance, or medicaid.

    And your suggestion is that nobody should be entitled to any
    assistance because they happen to be poor? How sick and disgusting
    a person are you? I do not believe your daddy was that much of an
    asshole, even though he had no stomach for real combat.

    He has medicare because he was automatically enrolled when he retired, although he's also paying a monthly premium for extra insurance that medicare don't cover.

    Your daddy is still entitled to veterans benefits, and could if he
    so chooses not even bother with medicare and its monthly premiums.
    After all, he has earned his entitlements to VA benefits.

    He taught me a lot, and I live by his philosophy most of the time. Expecting
    other people to wipe your ass is a mistake. "Oh but I was in the Army.."

    Unfortunately he forgot to teach you one lesson -
    How not to be an asshole.

    Hello Aaron,

    Many of those who join the military do so in order to get a better
    life
    than they had before. The military makes promises to enable them to
    achieve that. No one should denigrate them for expecting to take
    advantage of what was promised them.

    Why did you join the military?

    I didn't join the military, but my argument is that people shouldn't call themselves "veteran" if they didn't serve in combat, and they shouldn't expect
    the army to pay for all their medical needs 65 years after they finished their
    contract. Especially not while other veterans are in need of prosthetic limbs.

    Everybody who has served in the military is a veteran, whether they
    were drafted or volunteered. Makes no difference if they served in
    combat, or even if they served overseas in times of peace. They did
    their jobs and all were/are entitled to veterans benefits.

    Lee insists that anyone who joined the army should milk the system for what
    it's worth whether they were in combat or not.

    You are deliberately misrepresenting what I said.

    One more time -

    All who served in the military are entitled to veterans benefits,
    as they have earned them.

    Why some folks have a problem with that is beyond me.

    It's still commendable. These old guys put themselves in dangerous situations just by being on standby. Dodging bullets was part of basic training (at least in the old days.) It's a lot more than I did for this country.

    Same.

    It blows my mind that people would trash these old guys just for not drinking Democrat kool aid.

    I don't know that I have seen people out-and-out trash vets (like people supposedly did during the Vietnam years), but I agree they continue to show levels of disrespect that I would not feel comfortable doing if I were them.

    Remember: Facts, reality, etc. mean NOTHING to Lefties.

    Their Narrative is the only "fact" that they care about. And their Narrative is manufactured based on what they believe.

    He's not "assuming" anything. He's simply warping everything he sees through his Narrative.

    For Lefties, the world is only black and white. For everyone else, there are only infinite shades of gray.

    In this case, to a Leftie anyone not towing the ultra-Left party line is a "dangerous, Right-Wing Extremist".

    I do not expect nor do I desire any medical assistants from the VA.

    Is that because you don't like the way the VA is being managed, or because you believe in self-reliance?

    Neither. I have quite adequate medical insurance and have no need of

    It is a choice, not a mandate, to use the VA. But you are entitled
    to those benefits due to your service. Which is the point. Like all
    other veterans, you earned those benefits.
