[JUSTTHENEWS] The Georgia State Election Board (SEB) on Monday adopted a rule that requires the number of ballots and voters be the same before the certification of election results.
The rule ensures that counties comply with Georgia state code. It comes after Fulton County was found to have likely scanned thousands of ballots twice in a recount of the 2020 election.
"The purpose of the rule is to ensure that county superintendents and boards of elections follow the required procedures and can uniformly, properly, and lawfully fulfill their duties, and reconcile the number of ballots to the number of voters so that certification of election results accurately reflects the will of the voters in every county," the rule reads.
''The rule is built on basic, kindergarten math,'' Election Integrity Network Founder Cleta Mitchell said Monday. ''Count the number of voters, confirm that the number of voters match the number of ballots. Those numbers should match and should be the same as the number of votes tabulated. The duty for election officials to certify CORRECT results is required under the statute. The rule just makes sure it happens in every county.''
''If election officials want the American people to become election BELIEVERS again, these are the important procedures that must be made part of the election process in Georgia and every other state,'' she added.

And with cheat-by-mail ballots how do they even know how many real, live voters voted?

And what about computerized voting machines? How do we know for sure they are recording the votes correctly? We don't. We cannot possibly know for sure. And we never will. This new rule sounds like nothing but window dressing.

It’s a crude first step, and puts a stop to certification if the steal becomes too blatant.
And at the other end, voter rolls are being cleaned up in more states. It’ll never be perfect — political party machines have been buying votes since Colonial times — but it removes the ability of the courts to avoid intervening before certification because of a too-strict application of standing to complain.

An NGO was outed last month by the folks at Geekthevote. What the NGO was doing was checking drivers license roles against the registered voter rolls. Then they would do an address change on the drivers license to the NGO address and register them as a democrat. Once registered, they would change the address back, and the driver is completely unaware. It was found in GA, Minnesota, and I think in Penn. The total the Geeks found was over 1 million total. They caught it because they had 800k going to just three addresses...

[POSTMILLENNIAL] The House Judiciary Committe has concluded that President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant.... has committed "impeachable offenses" and that he "abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates.'' Other actions were also revealed in the report, which is part of their ongoing impeachment inquiry.
In a post on Monday, the committee stated, "Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates. The facts speak for themselves, and Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... can no longer stretch the truth to cover for President Biden."
The findings from the near 300-page inquiry report concludes that Biden committed "impeachable offenses." Some of the actions touched on in the report include that the president sought to "monetize Joe Biden's office of public trust to enrich the Biden family" from 2014 to the present, "afforded special treatment to President Biden's son, Hunter Biden" during his prosecution, as well as "obstructed the Committees' impeachment inquiry by withholding key documents and witnesses."
Additionally, the committee said that the "Biden Justice Department misled Congress about the independence of law enforcement entities in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden." Part of the investigation as well includes that, "Committees have gathered evidence that President Biden used his official position to conceal his mishandling of classified information as a private citizen. During his tenure as Vice President, Joe Biden removed highly sensitive classified documents from the White House, despite having no authority to do so."
The Judiciary Committee largely referenced "precedent set by House Democrats in 2019 in their impeachment of President Donald J. Trump," which established that an "abuse of office" is "defined as the exercise of 'official power to obtain an improper personal benefit, while ignoring or injuring the national interest,'" and "is an impeachable offense."
House Judiciary Chair Rep. Jim Jordan said of the report, "As Democrats celebrate Joe Biden and crown Kamala Harris once a marijuana-busting Caliphornia DA as his heir apparent this week, Americans should remember the reality of the Biden-Harris Administration: crime, chaos, and corruption."

The Congressional Impeachment process has become a political game and has little to do with why it exists.
Too bad, We, the People, only get to decide every so many years. An only if its an honest election.
[Breitbart] Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Democratic National Convention in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , Illinois, on Monday night that Republicans could try to ''kill'' Sen. JD Vance.
Raskin was referring to the hostility expressed by a small group of rioters on January 6, 2021, who brought a mock guillotine to the Capitol and were said to be searching for Vice President Mike Pence to punish him for not rejecting the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote.
The speech was bitter, and vindictive — as much of Raskin's rhetoric has been about Trump, even before he took office.
He said:
Someone should have told Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... that the president's job under Article II of the Constitution, is to take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not that the vice president is executed. Pence has now joined more than two dozen officials from Donald Trump's own administration in denouncing him. A historical record. Pence is the first vice president in more than two centuries not to support the president he served with in a general election. By the way, JD vance, do you understand why there was a sudden job opening for running mate on the GOP ticket? They tried to kill your predecessor. They tried to kill him because he would not follow Trump's plan to destroy and nullify the votes of millions of Americans. Your votes, Pennsylvania; your votes, Michigan; your votes, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona. Are we going to go back to the days of election suppression and violent mostly peaceful insurrection?
In January 2017, Raskin said that Trump should be impeached as soon as he entered the Oval Office, based on a bogus ''Emoluments Clause'' argument that claimed that income from Trump's businesses, which included revenue from overseas and foreign guests in Trump hotels in the United States, should disqualify him from office.
[YouTube] During the Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan on Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faced verbal criticism from an attendee who called him a "scumbag" and accused him of ruining New York. The incident highlights the potential for public figures to encounter negative feedback at community events.
[Breitbart] Presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris is "part of a corrupt Democratic Party," third-party presidential candidate Cornel West said during a pro-Palestinian protest outside of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois, encouraging Democrats to "abandon" Harris.
When Breitbart News asked West what his message was to Harris at the DNC, he said, "I would say shame on my dear sister Harris in enabling genocide and denying genocide and the issues of mass incarceration, the issues of wealth inequality, the issues that she still has not been able to speak to."
He quickly asserted that Harris is "part of a corrupt Democratic Party."
"And the Democratic Party does not speak to the elimination of genocide, the elimination of poverty, the elimination of homelessness, the elimination of workers subordinated, and so forth," West continued, as fellow protesters surrounded him, holding signs reading, "Abandon Harris, Free Palestine [sic]."
John Fetterman is skipping this week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, and, to hear it from him, it has nothing—literally nothing—to do with him scotch-taping photos of the Israeli hostages to his Senate office walls. Or attacking fellow Democrats Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar for falsely blaming a hospital bombing in Gaza on Israel. ("It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza. Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?") Or comparing the pro-Hamas encampment at Columbia to a neo-Nazi rally ("Add some tiki torches and it’s Charlottesville for these Jewish students," he tweeted).
Yeah, sure. All about spending time with his family at the top event for Democrats held every four years.
[NYPost] The Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Too old and senile to be prosecuted, not too old and senile to set national policy... show is officially in reruns. Biden even got bumped out of prime time. His speech started at 11:28 p.m., in the hour when old sitcoms run in syndication.
That wasn't an accident. The first night of the Democratic convention was losers night, featuring Biden and Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... along with duds like Kathy Hochul and zealots like Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore .
Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... lined up an endless list of speakers ahead of Biden to push his speech back as far as they could, so as few people as possible would hear it.
The speech itself was written as a celebration of Biden's accomplishments — some real, many imagined — as president. The actual nominee was an afterthought. Biden spoke of Kamala Harris launched her campaign on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” only as someone who helped him — not for anything she ever did on her own.
If the Harris campaign had any hopes that Joe would let them get distance from his record, they were dashed. ''When I say we I mean Kamala and me,'' he emphasized, reminding voters that there's no turning the page by voting for Harris.
Biden tried to play the old hits, but they ring hollow now. He talked about Charlottesville and how he claims Trump as president ''emboldened'' and praised anti-Semites. ''Hate has no safe harbor'' in America, he says. But we saw how anti-Semites have safe harbors — literal encampments on college campuses, immune from the law — in Joe Biden's America. Biden even said of the pro-Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... protestors, ''Those protesters out in the street. They've got a point.
No, they don’t, Joe.
Just days after Tim Walz ...Kamala's smarmy-looking running mate, governor of Minnesota. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... pledged that Democrats wouldn’t call their opponents names, Biden called Trump a "loser," a "liar," a "felon," and a "sucker."
Amid the usual rants about January 6, there were the usual bald-faced lies, such as the claim that the Biden-Harris administration "helped schools get back open" after COVID when in fact they ignored the recommendations of scientists to side with the teachers unions in protracting school closures. They expect us to nod along, knowing it’s not true.
Of course, the pretense of one big happy family had to be maintained. Biden denied that he was angry at the Democrats who forced him off the ticket. Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... stood in the front row holding a "We Love Joe" sign, just weeks after wielding the knife. She came to bury Joe, not to praise him.
Biden stayed mostly on script, leaning on the prepared text to keep him from wandering off. But he was shouty and glowering as a result. By the end, nobody would wonder why Democrats decided they needed to dump this guy.
The amazing thing is that they made it as far as July pretending he was up to the job.

Even worse, Fox Snews preempted Gutfeld for that clown.
[ARABNEWS] Pro-Kremlin sites masquerading as US ''news'' outlets have dished out unfounded claims that Democrats plotted to assassinate Donald Trump, a prime example of how phony AI-powered portals are spewing inflammatory falsehoods in a high-stakes election year. Xi had a stroke!
Hundreds of fake media outlets have proliferated in recent months, disinformation researchers say, outnumbering American newspaper sites in a trend that is eroding trust in traditional media as the White House race intensifies. "traditional media" has done a fine job eroding trust all by themselves
The fake sites — largely enabled by cheap, widely available artificial intelligence tools — are fueling an explosion of polarizing or false narratives as US officials warn that foreign powers such as Russia and Iran are stepping up efforts to meddle in the November 5 election.
Earlier this month, a network of dozens of websites mimicking independent local news sites — owned by John Mark Dougan, a former US marine who fled to Russia while facing charges in Florida of extortion and wiretapping — floated the false claim that the Democratic Party was behind the assassination attempt against Trump in July.
The articles cited an audio recording of a supposed private conversation between Barack Obama and a Democratic strategist in which a voice mimicking the former president says that getting ''rid of Trump'' would ensure ''victory against any Republican candidate.''
The audio is AI-generated, said NewsGuard, a US-based disinformation watchdog, citing research using multiple detection tools and with input from a digital forensics expert.
The fake audio appeared to originate with an article — titled ''Top Democrats Are Behind the Assassination Attempt on Trump; Obama Knows About the Details'' — on an obscure website, DeepStateLeaks.org.
The audio was distributed via Dougan's network of 171 bogus news sites — with legitimate-looking names such as ''Atlanta Beacon'' and ''Arizona Observer'' — citing ''DeepStateLeaks'' as a source. Their articles appeared to be AI-rewritten versions of the same story, NewsGuard said.

[POSTMILLENNIAL] Governor Jay Inslee ...Governor of Washington state, failed candidate for the 2020 Dem presidential campaign, mainly because nobody outside the state and some inside had ever heard of him. He complained, complained, complained that the Trump administration wasn't doing enough to help the state, then returned an Army field hospital and 400 ventilators that didn't get used... and local Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... are being accused of using taxpayer funds in an attempt to bribe Washingtonians into voting against a bill that would repeal his disastrous Climate Commitment Act (CCA). Initiative 2117 would repeal the CCA, which has jacked the price of gas and utilities, as well as goods that are brought in via truck.
Inslee and fellow Democrats previously lied and falsely claimed that the increases would be mere pennies or even make gas cheaper. Instead, Washington had the highest gas prices in the US after the bill's passage, which jacked gas prices by approximately $.50 a gallon. When Inslee's economists tried to warn him, the economist was forced out of his job.
Let's Go Washington launched a campaign to repeal the tax, which has failed to lower carbon emissions. After collecting the required number of signatures, I-2117 will now go to the voters in November.
Inslee is now touting a $200 utility rebate for low-income households in an attempt to bribe voters to vote not to repeal the CCA and now, thanks to the CCA, has a $150 million slush fund of taxpayer funds to pay for it.
Todd Myers, Vice President for Research at the Washington Policy Center, told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, "I've referred to it as bribing people with their own money because this money didn't exist until we started taxing people, increasing taxes on gasoline, natural gas and other energy." Myers added that according to the prices in 2023 for the average two-car family ''they paid, just in natural gas and gasoline, an extra about $630.''

[GEOTV] VP and Democrat presidential pick Kamala Harris It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day toured western Pennsylvania on Sunday in her tour bus, greeting Americans at staged campaign stops and searching for bags of Doritos at Sheetz. She stopped to take a few questions from press and offered an explanation for her recently revealed fiscal plans to fix prices for goods and federally regulate housing.
"You unveiled your economic policy last week," a news hound began, "can you explain how you're gonna pay for those and can you give us a sense of what other policies you'll unveil going forward." The proposals are estimated to increase the national debt by $1.7 trillion.
[GEOTV] US Vice President Kamala Harris would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21% if she wins a November 5 election against Republican rival Donald Trump, her campaign said on Monday.
Harris campaign spokesman James Singer said the move would be part of "a fiscally responsible way to put money back in the pockets of working people and ensure billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share."
When Trump was president, he slashed the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35% and implemented other tax breaks that are set to expire next year. Trump has vowed to make the cuts permanent.
Harris, a Democrat, has pledged to maintain President Joe Biden's promise not to raise taxes on people who make $400,000 or less a year.
In an economic policy speech last week, Harris outlined proposals to cut taxes for most Americans, ban "price gouging" by grocers and build more affordable housing as part of the "opportunity economy" she plans to pursue if she wins the White House.

NN2N1, the problem with a flat tax is that the percentage will always go up . It may start at 12-15%, but it won't be enough. Plus, a lot of the federal budget is mandated - interest on the debt, social security, medicare, etc. Those are sacred cows, and can never be unfunded. The discretionary budget is a fairly small percentage of the total.

Those are sacred cows, and can never be unfunded.
It will when it all collapses. Given a choice between 0% and 50%, you'll take 50%.
Green Party leader and presidential candidate Dr. Jill Stein's choice of a running mate is Bilal (Butch) Ware,
…academic, activist and Moslem convert, his name is more fully Rudolph "Butch" Ware III …
an associate professor at the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,-Santa Barbara who has shared pro-Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... propaganda and has called Israel a ''white supremacist Zionist project'' that activists should ''stab in the heart.''
Stein lauded him on Sunday in a post announcing Ware as her running mate: ''I'm honored and thrilled to welcome Butch Ware as my running mate and the Vice President we need at this moment in history. His personal experience overcoming systemic injustice, his deep knowledge of history and people's movements, and his commitment to building a sustainable, just, peaceful world make Butch the ideal candidate."
[PostMillennial] As the Democratic National Convention begins Monday in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , House Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... are reportedly being told to check into hotels under assumed names to avoid being detected by up to 100,000 pro-Paleostinian protesters in the city.
Axios reported that Democratic Party security officials are worried that demonstrators might turn on members of Congress.
The protests were planned before Vice President Kamala Harris What can be, unburdened by what has been was appointed as the Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family... was pressured to drop out of the race. But the change at the top hasn't made any difference to those leading the demonstrations.
According to Axios, ''House Democrats attending the Democratic National Convention next week are being advised by congressional security officials not to book hotel rooms under their own names or engage with protesters if confronted, Axios has learned. The guidance comes as some Democratic politicians are fearful about their safety after being rattled by a series of disruptive pro-Paleostinian protests since the Israel-Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... war started last year.''
Some hotels ''have been getting random calls asking for people'' an anonymous politician told Axios. The official guidance from the House sergeant-at-arms to Democratic representatives at the convention is to duck and cover: ''If you are confronted by protesters, try not to engage and report to [Capitol Police].''
Other anonymous politicians expressed safety concerns and that they have been told to avoid some areas of the city because violence — already chronically on display in Chicago — is expected. ''The protesters aren't staying in a designated protest site— and there are people who are going to go and really try to cause trouble,'' the unnamed source told Axios.

Well me, I just wonder where they are getting all the fake names...🤔... DUH.....That's right, they are using Fred's Famous Rantburg Name Generator. I can hear the front desk manager now, "Mr. Whaigum Thrusosh3389, you will be in room 3389. We did this especially for you, so you, would remember you room location, much easier." 👀😮🙂
[POSTMILLENNIAL] In a Democrat Party platform that backs child sex changes, opens with a land acknowledgment, promises gun control, fights climate change, advocates for federal child sacrifice abortion laws, student debt forgiveness, and addresses a host of other progressive talking points, President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. This Is A Man That Does Not Seem Demented... 's "second term" is referenced 19 times. The only problem with that is he's not running—he's been replaced at the top of the ticket by his veep Kamala Harris launched her campaign on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” . Her name is only mentioned 29 times in the platform, while Trump is mentioned on 62 pages, Biden on 76.
Any effort for the Kamala campaign to distance itself from her predecessor on the ticket Joe Biden would be difficult when the entire party platform is built around Biden, not Harris. Her recent, if scant, policy positions are not listed in the platform save for some reference to price gouging, which is an area on which she overlaps with Biden. Her announcement, days after Trump announced his initiative, that there would be no taxes on tips was not mentioned, nor any of her housing initiatives.
In fact, much of the language and tone of the document reflects Biden as well, with terms like "so everyone has a fair shot," which is something he's repeated at campaign events and in speeches over his term in office. Kamala's catchphrase, about seeing "what can be, unburdened by what might have been," does not appear once in the document. Full of falsehoods and repeated yet debunked hoaxes, the platform reads like a progressive playbook.
Many took note of the odd issuance of a platform that's more about the man leaving office than the woman who hopes to fill his shoes. Harris was nominated by the Democrat Party elite after the primary season was pretty much over and some 14 million Americans had cast their ballots for Biden. It was in the days after Biden dropped out, following an extremely poor debate performance against Trump in June, that Harris was put on the ticket and Biden erased from it.

I think they've seriously screwed up with Kamala.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
