How tough could it be? Pick up a ballot, look at the name and address, go there, find that person who, of course, lives at that address and ask them if that is their signature then get a sample and compare. How many new IRS agents did we get in the last administration? 87,000 wasn’t it? Give them some poop proof shoes and send them out on the streets of LA to find the voters.
Laura, do you recall Steven Crowder’s videos showing Nevada ballot fraud? They went to addresses/voters listed on the voter rolls and found empty lots, gas stations, etc. My guess is the ballots are never actually sent there (or are intercepted by USPS as “undeliverable.”)Then they are taken to union or DNC headquarters and filled out.
Yeah, Jennifer, that’s what I was thinking. These things are easy to check out but a little more difficult to get anyone to admit the errors. We left CA 8 years ago for many of these same reasons. The state government has taken a once great state and turned it into a very bad joke.
YES! California is A ROGUE STATE, clearly CAPTURED by Rogue actors' nullifying the actual votes of the CITIZENS', confiscating their social services money and turning it against the legal citizen voters!
We see this behavior in nearly every aspect of our lives, here in California! From the illegal awarding of Drivers Licenses to non-citizens(some with only one Middle Eastern name??? and no ability to read English road signs), to police and Code Enforcement officers refusing to cite the drivers of abandoned/crashed vehicles on Citizens' property, and the refusal to cite Visible Code Violations on properties inhabited by Illegal persons! The lack of enforcement of the Municipal Codes along city streets allow for tent/box cities and RV communities and creates Slums and impassible sidewalks and WAR ZONES out of neighborhoods!
And as such (I’ve said before), it needs to be taken into Federal Receivership by DOJ, all of the top dem positions need to be arrested and jailed for 85 different felonies, and (because it was ruined by Dems) a coalition of republican governors needs to appoint its leadership for the next 20 - 50 years to straighten it out.
I still hope this whole thing was a sting operation. I hope it results in federal charges for any fraudulent ballots by mail, I hope it results in immediate deportation of any illegals voting, I hope for lots of stuff. 🙏🏼
You forget about the Dugged ZOMBIES of MacArthur Park and Skid Row! They are kept alive and fed clean needles and their drug du jour, for the purposes of GRIFT of TAX PAYERS' INCOME and to ENSURE that our Socialist Democrats GET and HOLD POWER in STRATEGIC CITIES! The LEFT'S minions carry drugs to reverse overdoses, not because they care about the person in side the ZOMBIE, but because their BOSSES care about the VOTES that those ZOMBIES REPRESENT!
Jenna, you nailed it. Democrats have perfected cheating through the decades knowing they cannot win otherwise. Near as I know states that implemented all mail ballot elections turned purple to deep blue within a few years (imagine that!). Daniel Greenfield (Front Page Magazine) said years ago at a Tea Party event the left will not stop until they get a 50 state blue majority. President Trump is correct when he says all mail ballots (not including absentee) must be halted. Pass the Save America Act NOW.
BONGO! California is run by LAWYERS and UNIONS full of LAWYERS! These people are paid to write legislation to further GRAFT and GRIFT! Anyone who thinks the DEI Rainbow that is the LEGISLATURE in CALIFORNIA were fairly elected, is not paying attention!
All you need to know is that Kamala Harris magically started her career as an Alameda County (OAKLAND) Children's Advocate, and within a short span of time was magically installed across the BAY in no less than the San Francisco District Attorneys office, at the same level as Harmeet Dillon!
Over the last decade or two I've concluded that our government has a level of in-your-face corruption that is unprecendented. Occasionally I get a reminder that this is nothing new:
"One of the most famous generals in American history—a man who has literally bled for his country—stands up in Congress under oath, points at the wealthiest men in the world, and says: They tried to hire me to overthrow the President.
A Congressional Committee investigates, looks at the evidence, and says: Yes, the General is telling the absolute truth. The plot is real.
And what happens? Time Magazine prints a cartoon mocking the General, and Congress just goes home without arresting a single billionaire. They investigated themselves, found themselves to be structurally untouchable, and just carried on with their day."
“Over the last decade or two I've concluded that our government has a level of in-your-face corruption that is unprecedented.” It sure does seem like it.
And, the Anti-Federalists back in the debate for America’s heart and soul had something to say about what the future would entail.
Patrick Henry powerfully summed up his suspicions of the future in his June 5, 1788 speech at the Virginia Convention:
The Confederation; this same despised Government, merits, in my opinion, the highest encomium: It carried us through a long and dangerous war: It rendered us victorious in that bloody conflict with a powerful nation: It has secured us a territory greater than any European monarch possesses: And shall a Government which has been thus strong and vigorous, be accused of imbecility and abandoned for want of energy? Consider what you are about to do before you part with this Government…
…But now, Sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, is about to convert this country to a powerful and mighty empire: If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your Government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together: Such a Government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism: There will be no checks, no real balances, in this Government: What can avail your specious imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances? But, Sir, we are not feared by foreigners: we do not make nations tremble: Would this, Sir, constitute happiness, or secure liberty? I trust, Sir, our political hemisphere will ever direct their operations to the security of those objects. Consider our situation, Sir: Go to the poor man, ask him what he does; he will inform you, that he enjoys the fruits of his labour, under his own fig-tree, with his wife and children around him, in peace and security. Go to every other member of society, you will find the same tranquil ease and content; you will find no alarms or disturbances: Why then tell us of dangers to terrify us into an adoption of this new Government?
CA can do what it likes regarding how it runs elections, but the rest of us don't have to recognize the results!
Congress is under no obligation to seat a House or Senate (alleged) electee from any State if Congress thinks that State didn't run a proper election. The process involves an investigation of the election...not a bad thing no matter what the outcome.
Not sure what the rest of us can do about a Governor or a Mayor...that's up to Californians. But there's a National Assn of Governors that seems to occasionally do something...they also do not have to recognize a questionable election.
Fetterman has balls. He’s trotting them out more and more often. Ron Johnson has balls. His are on display — in a good way— and have been since the beginning of the plandemic. Can we get
Fetterman talks a big game but then votes like his Democrat boss Cryin’ Chuck tells him to vote. He is just another pretender like former Dem senator Joe Manchin.
Steve, and hopefully Maine Democrat primary winner (with his Nazi tattoo) is no where near those port-o-potty’s. 🤣😀🤣 He was pretty happy to tell people what his favorite activity to do in them was.
Anyone hanging out in a pot-o-potty and not using it for the intended evacuations, is up to something illegal for certain! Possibly he lost his sense of smell during the WHUU, or years before when he lost his sense of decency!
Great column Jenna. The timing of the CA elections couldn’t be more fortuitous, what with The Supremes getting ready to rule how many days long Election Day actually is, PDJT’s executive order on election measures soon to be put to the tests, and with THE MIDTERMS™️ approaching, it might be a spicy second half of the year. Now, all we need is some racial grievances to kick off the festivities - Metcalf verdict was a little too soon (waves at Belfast).
And the absolute dopes in Congress refuse to do anything &/or vote against SAVE. If CA isn’t a glowing example of what’s coming in the midterms & next presidential election, FFS, what more evidence do they need to do the common sense thing!
I had a bowl of soft peppermints at my check out at my chiropractic office.
One day I was up front and a patient was checking out. I stood there and watched her stuff her purse with those peppermints. All the while talking to me and my staff.
I was gobsmacked!
It made me so mad I quit putting candy out front. I gave people a ”I got adjusted today” sticker instead. 😂
You just described The Democrat Party and their voters PERFECTLY!
I saw the same behavior involving toilet paper, flour and hand sanitizer, during the PLANDEMIC! I lived in a decidedly 70/30 Dem to Republican and Other, voting/Tech-censoring District!
They also exhibit the same "ME and Mine FIRST" behaviors/ INTENSITY on the freeways, in the schools and in signing their children up for extra-curricular activities!
We need 3rd party (not from the state being counted) auditors. People who are unaffiliated from either party maybe and don't have a stake in the election. We need auditors from a different state that don't have a dog in the hunt to count ballots in every state. I'm not sure how that could be accomplished but as long as the fox is presiding over the chicken coop, nothing will be fair
Sherri Lynn M, Democrats would just cross state lines to “help” their fellow Democrats cheat to win. I do not think it is possible to find unbiased auditors even if they claim to be. As a side note our former blue state Democrat county clerk would have his buddies switch party affiliation to Republican and then sign them up as paid election judges. All to make it look “fair and balanced.”
There's got to be a way to make elections Fair. Since we have so much AI what about them? Of course I realize they are also programmed by one side or the other
In-person voting on ELECTION DAY with IDENTIFICATION and PROOF of LEGAL RESIDENCY! NO EARLY nor LATE VOTING. PROVISINAL BALLOTS only for legitimate ABSENTEE or DISABLED VOTERS and NO VOTE HARVESTING!
This is how we used to vote in California! Perhaps we should deport all those who object to the rules that had little to NO controversy, and had voting sites in each neighborhood! We voted at the local school, church, or neighbor's garage! There were no issues about cheating, and the lines moved along swiftly!
We also did not have Democrat organized Homeless Zombies voting, because ZOMBIES are not responsible adults, period and should not be entrusted with the priviliage!
I see with my own eyes an NGO canvassing the homeless in Western NC. When I asked about needing an address I was told they just use the address for the soup kitchen. Interesting since the soup kitchen does not allow for overnight stays nor receive mail.
🤣: “as if they’re explaining how a Swiss watch works to a colony of goldfish.”
It just feels like we are being “led” by a bunch of naked emperors surrounded by little boys screaming the truth but then the ones screaming are the bad guys. 🙁
“…face-planted on my eighth grade class trip to Disney World.”
Now it all makes sense why you are so funny! You come out of an experience like that either deeply insecure or Superman. I love that you chose the latter. 😆🤣
Another true story: freshman year in high school I made the JV cheerleading team. Yes I was a cheerleader. It was a private Catholic school and the uniforms were probably 20 years old and they had exactly one for each girl. The day I got my uniform I ran in the house and was so excited, I threw it on the kitchen island where the flat top stove was. I did not realize the stove was on and the whole thing immediately melted onto the stove. (it was 100% polyester.) I can’t even remember how but I scrounged together something vaguely similar to the other girls and wore it the entire season. I told myself that maybe everyone would think I was the captain.😂🙈
Watching this crap unfolding from the sideline in Australia (with obligatory vote for every citizen) and being born in a central European country that has super tight mail-in ballot rules, I'm just mostly in disbelief, when I'm not laughing my ass off at the stupid objections to check someone's ID when voting. That and ripping my hair out at the level of overall pervasive stupidity at the same time.

On a side note, the recent revamp of how the Substack app presents the authors I follow and their articles is seriously wearing out my patience. The current "Click anywhere to read" format expands the article like an expand-to click menu. Then, clicking on an illustrative image (something I might look at closely) within the article seemingly opens it in an overlay window as it did before, the catch is that exiting with X on top SHUTS DOWN THE ARTICLE rather than the image, causing you to end up over an article from April, having to scroll back up madly, re-expanding the article that was just being read and having to scroll down to the point of reading again. Ranting, sorry. I'll submit my complaint to Substack, if I can locate any feedback button.
Oh girl, yes they do, takes digging, just spoke to Chantrell, after getting through the bot. She assured me that my feedback is valuable and will be passed to Product department. Since I'm in tech, I know this means absolutely nothing, designed to sound assuring 😆
My "conspiracy" mind is trying to figure out what this terrible update is supposed to accomplish. If I could I'd set up a poll:
- prevent readers from finishing an article (unless dogged)
- prevent readers from liking an article (the moment you scroll a tiny bit further, you're on another article)
- prevent the writer from collecting reads and likes (no idea if that's a thing, don't know how the stats on this thing work for you guys)
I haven't experienced this yet (I mostly listen to stacks while I'm working out or doing other things so I guess I rarely click on images?) so it's hard to say. I'll play around with it, though. Wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional though... :(
I just had a flashback of the Laughers-in-the-Boardroom meme with the guy doubled-over saying, "...and THEN, I told her, 'I 𝘈𝘚𝘚𝘜𝘙𝘌 you your feedback is valuable and will be passed'--GET THIS--'to Product department!'" Appreciate the free people of Australia (not the others very much).

Patrick Henrys are in very short supply these days.
Very true. I'm hoping the Gen Z generation will at least read these great thinkers...like Brutus, who was Right about Everything too!
Here's an idea:
CA can do what it likes regarding how it runs elections, but the rest of us don't have to recognize the results!
Congress is under no obligation to seat a House or Senate (alleged) electee from any State if Congress thinks that State didn't run a proper election. The process involves an investigation of the election...not a bad thing no matter what the outcome.
Not sure what the rest of us can do about a Governor or a Mayor...that's up to Californians. But there's a National Assn of Governors that seems to occasionally do something...they also do not have to recognize a questionable election.
It's a start.
GregWA, that would require a Congress that is 1) not filled with Democrats and spineless Republicans, 2) not corrupt, and 3) has balls.
Fetterman has balls. He’s trotting them out more and more often. Ron Johnson has balls. His are on display — in a good way— and have been since the beginning of the plandemic. Can we get
senators rather than congressmen?
Fetterman talks a big game but then votes like his Democrat boss Cryin’ Chuck tells him to vote. He is just another pretender like former Dem senator Joe Manchin.
Ron Johnson is one of the good ones though.
Agree, Jennifer!
Term Limits!
No Pensions for Congress critters! (maybe just match their pre-election IRA/401k contributions while in Congress?)
No rigging of local processes (your local Dem or Rep precinct operations)
A stroll down 2020 memory lane ... and it's not a lovely stroll, especially when it takes you near the Venice beach port-o-pottys!
Steve, and hopefully Maine Democrat primary winner (with his Nazi tattoo) is no where near those port-o-potty’s. 🤣😀🤣 He was pretty happy to tell people what his favorite activity to do in them was.
