Pennsylvania Democrats openly admit to counting illegal ballots in McCormick-Casey race

Democrats never cheat in elections?

Ongoing disputes in the Senate race between declared winner Dave McCormick (R) and incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D) concern whether disqualified ballots should be counted

McCormick and Trump

As the contested Pennsylvania Senate race barrels towards a $1 million recount, Democratic officials in a few blue counties are openly admitting to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and court orders.

The Associated Press has called the race for Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 vote lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey. But Casey has refused to concede and insisted that every vote be counted. The close margin – within one percentage point – triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.

Yet the critical question is which votes should be counted? The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results. However, Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order.

“I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn’t matter anymore in this country,” Bucks County Commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia, a Democrat, said Thursday as she and other Democrats voted to reject a GOP-led challenge to ballots that should be disqualified.

“People violate laws anytime they want. So, for me, if I violate this law, it’s because I want a court to pay attention. There’s nothing more important than counting votes.”

Officials estimate there are fewer than 80,000 provisional ballots left to be counted across the Keystone State, less than two percent of the vote, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. While the chance that Casey could make up his deficit is small, his attorneys and McCormick’s have repeatedly clashed at county commissioner meetings this week as local officials have debated over whether to count small handfuls of ballots.

Democrats insist they are acting in good faith in believing that rejecting someone’s vote because of a clerical error violates their constitutional rights.

In Montgomery County, for example, officials deliberated for 30 minutes over whether about 180 provisional ballots without secrecy envelopes should be counted. The Inquirer reported that several of these votes came from the same precincts, suggesting an error made by poll workers.

Democratic board chair Neil Makhija voted to accept the ballots so that voters would not be disenfranchised. But other members of the board, including one Democrat and a Republican, voted to reject the ballots on the advice of county attorneys who determined the law clearly states they should not be counted.

“We’re talking about constitutional rights and I cannot take an action to throw out someone’s ballot that is validly cast, otherwise, over an issue that we know … is immaterial,” Makhija said during Thursday’s meeting. The board ultimately voted to count a total of 501 contested ballots.

Similar disputes over hundreds of votes have played out in Bucks, Chester and Delaware Counties.

Separately, there is ongoing litigation over undated mail ballots or those submitted with an incorrect date on the outer envelope. Several local Democratic officials have said an incorrect date should not be grounds to disqualify a person’s vote. Lower courts have agreed with that reasoning, but Pennsylvania’s high court has determined the law requires correct dates for mail ballots to be counted.

The McCormick campaign and Republican National Committee have asked the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to reaffirm its Nov. 1 decision to stop Democrats from including undated mail ballots in their final tallies. The Casey campaign and the Pennsylvania Department of State have countered with legal motions arguing that the counties should be left alone and that the high court need not intervene as the challenges work their way through the appellate process.

The open defiance of court precedent has prompted Republicans to cry foul.

“Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Democrats in Pennsylvania are brazenly trying to break the law by attempting to count illegal ballots. They are doing this because they want to steal a senate seat,” Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley wrote on X.

He said the RNC has filed four lawsuits contesting county decisions on undated ballots and vowed to “fight for as long as necessary” to ensure that McCormick’s victory is upheld.

“This is the exact kind of left-wing election interference that undermines voter confidence,” Whatley said.

A state-mandated recount must be finished by noon on Nov. 26. Officials have said they do not expect the process to change the outcome of the race by more than a few hundred votes.

Both McCormick and Casey were in Washington, D.C., this week. Casey participated in official Senate business and cast votes on the floor while McCormick attended new member orientation and met with other members of the new Republican majority to vote for conference leadership.

Fact Check on the Whoopi Lie.

Fact Check on the Whoopi Lie.

Below is the Breitbart correction on a lie Whoopi told on the View.

By Warner Todd Huston

The owner of Holtermann’s Bakery in New York City is denying that comedian and The View host Whoopi Goldberg’s order was refused because they don’t like Goldberg’s left-wing politics.

On Wednesday, Goldberg claimed that a bakery — which she did not name — had denied her dessert order because they disagreed with her political proclamations, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“My birthday dessert today was one of my mom’s favorites from when she was a kid, she talked about these all the time, they’re called Charlotte Russe. It’s a sponge cake with whipped cream and a cherry on top. I should tell you, Charlotte Russe has no political leanings. The place that made these refused to make them for me,” the TV host exclaimed on Wednesday’s broadcast.

After she made that claim, cast member Sarah Haines spit out her mouthful of the dessert. But Goldberg explained.

“They said that their ovens had gone down, but folks went and got them anyway, which is why I’m not telling you who made them,” she exclaimed. “It’s not… because I’m a woman, but perhaps they did not like my politics. But, that’s okay, because you know what, listen, this is my mother’s celebration. Pick these up and celebrate with me and my mom. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday today.”

Despite that Goldberg didn’t name the bakery, the magazine tracked down the establishment and asked bakery owner Jill Holtermann about the accusation.

Holtermann confirmed that Goldberg had made an order two weeks ago, but denied that anyone at the establishment punished Goldberg for her political views.

“They’d asked us and we were having trouble with our boilers,” Holtermann told EW. The bakery owner added that it was known that Goldberg made her order for a November 6 and a November 13 broadcast of The View. But the orders were refused because of the technical issues and because Holtermann “didn’t want to make a commitment that I can’t carry through.”

However, she also said that her establishment was able to make 50 Charlotte Russe desserts that appeared on Wednesday morning’s episode. Holtermann also said that no one in her shop had any idea about the political leanings of those who picked up the orders.

Holtermann also pointed out that her building was built more than 100 years ago and sometimes there are mechanical problems and she was fearful that she could not take a long-term order based on the issues.

“I said to Whoopi, ‘I can’t do it right now,” Holtermann told EW. “We have so many things going on with my boiler,’ because the building is from 1930, so, when she called me, I had no idea [if we could] be baking everything.”

She firmly insisted that “it was not because of political” ideals.

First, they came for Peanut.

 



For those that aren’t on X, Peanut was a squirrel rescued as a baby seven years ago, and raised in captivity by Mark Longo. Peanut (and Mark) became an Instagram sensation with over a half million followers. Peanut lived with another rescued pet named Fred, who was a raccoon.

Mark runs a non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary. Someone decided to report Mark to NY State authorities for this.

The New York State police raided Mark’s home this week:

  • A total of 10 officers raided his house
  • He and his wife were not allowed to use bathroom alone
  • He was not allowed to feed his other rescue animals
  • They interrogated his wife about her immigration status
  • There were search warrants from 4 bureaucratic departments, including FISA.

This week, despite massive public outcry – both Peanut and Fred were murdered by the New York State Environmental police. Their crime was living in captivity.

To be clear:
“Based on the search results, it is extremely rare for squirrels to contract rabies. The data suggests that squirrels are not considered vectors of rabies and have never been known to transmit the disease to humans.”

In the end, this is not about a squirrel. It is all about government overreach, illegal and overbearing search and seizure, arbitrary and capricious bureaucracies.

.


Has our republic really been reduced to murdering pet squirrels?

God save America

Get out and vote for Peanut…








Ah, yes, the Federal Reserve. A future Substack topic, to be sure.







Somehow, I missed this, Remy – It is close enough to Halloween to still be funny, though!

Leftists in panic: SCOTUS Lets Virginia Resume “Purge” of Voter Rolls of Non-citizens Before Election.

Reported by USA Today, an obvious leftist publication.

Leftists in panic: SCOTUS Lets Virginia Resume “Purge” of Voter Rolls of Non-citizens Before Election.

WASHINGTON − The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Virginia to reinstate a purge of suspected noncitizens from voter rolls.

Over the objections of the three liberal justices, the court accepted an emergency request from state officials to intervene after lower courts stopped a state program that had removed more than 1,600 names since Aug. 7.

The majority did not give a reason for their decision, which is common in emergency orders.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, called the order a “victory for commonsense and election fairness.”

Danielle Lang, senior director for voting rights at the Campaign Legal Center, which represented advocacy groups in the lawsuit, called it “outrageous” to allow “a last-minute purge that includes many known eligible citizens.”

Sign-up for Your Vote: Text with the USA TODAY elections team.

“But the voters will decide this election, not the courts,” Lang said. “Eligible Virginia voters should know that regardless of this purge they can register to vote on Election Day & cast their ballots.”

Voting rights groups fought the state policy because it removed naturalized citizens from the rolls if they had previously declared themselves noncitizens on motor vehicle forms. Youngkin’s program had notified suspected noncitizens they would be removed if they didn’t affirm their citizenship within 14 days.

But because years might have passed since the motor vehicle declarations, advocacy groups and the Justice Department challenged the program in court, arguing naturalized citizens were being removed from the voter rolls.

The advocacy groups quoted Prince William County Registrar Eric Olsen, who said at an election board meeting Sept. 30 that his office reviewed 162 people listed as noncitizens in the state’s computer system and found 43 had voted previously. But his office checked and found all 43 had verified their citizenship − some as many as five times − but were still dropped from voter rolls.

A Trump supporter who was purged from the rolls told Cardinal News he suspects he forgot to mark his citizenship status on the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles form when he renewed his driver’s license.

Another voter, who showed NPR her passport, said she doesn’t know why the DMV incorrectly recorded her as a noncitizen.

In addition to blocking further purges, U.S. District Judge Patricia Giles ordered the state to restore the registrations of those canceled since Aug. 7 because federal law prohibits voter purges within 90 days of an election when voters may not have enough time to fix errors. A federal appeals court upheld that decision.

But Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares told the Supreme Court the federal “quiet period” provision doesn’t apply to removing noncitizens from the voter rolls because they never should have been on the rolls.

Even if a citizen is mistakenly purged from the rolls, Miyares said, that person can re-register to vote and cast a provisional ballot.

The Justice Department argued that Virginia could still investigate specific individuals – including any of the 1,600 – it suspects are noncitizens but can’t use a broad-based removal method this close to an election.

“Everyone agrees that States can and should remove ineligible voters, including noncitizens, from their voter rolls,” Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar told the Supreme Court. “The only question in this case is when and how they may do so.”

Studies have found a negligible number of suspected noncitizens vote, presumably because of the threat of criminal charges and deportation if caught. Studies by the Brennan Center for Justice and the libertarian Cato Institute have found noncitizen voting is essentially nonexistent.

But Republicans have made removal of suspected noncitizens a focus of their voter integrity lawsuits this year.

So, leftist studies show non-citizens aren’t on the voter rolls? Really? Despite proof that they are? How — uhm — LEFTIST of them.

You make the call. Afghan Accused of Election Day Terror Plot Worked for CIA.

You make the call. Afghan Accused of Election Day Terror Plot Worked for CIA. Was he going after Trump or Harris? The below article is a reprint from NewsMax.

An Afghan man accused of plotting a terror attack on Election Day previously worked as a security guard in Afghanistan for the CIA, NBC News reported Wednesday.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested on Monday in Oklahoma on charges of planning to kill American citizens on behalf of the terror group ISIS.

Court documents indicated that Tawhedi planned to attack on Nov. 5, Election Day, and he confirmed to authorities in an interview conducted after his arrest that he intended to target large gatherings of people and expected to die a martyr.

One senior administration official told NBC News that counterterrorism officials surmised that Tawhedi became radicalized while he was living in the United States. He entered the country in September 2021, according to court documents.

“Every Afghan resettled in the U.S. undergoes a rigorous screening and vetting process no matter which agency they worked with,” the official said. “That process includes checking against a full range of U.S. records and holdings.”

NBC News reported that Tawhedi passed two rounds of vetting with no derogatory information found and, according to a source, was first screened before he entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole.

Tawhedi was vetted again when he applied for a Special Immigrant Visa, for which he was eligible because he worked for the U.S. government. Although he was approved for the visa, an official told NBC News he had not yet completed it.

The Justice Department’s charging document said Tawhedi entered the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa “and is currently on parole status pending adjudication of his immigrant proceedings.”

But two U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter told NBC News that the charging document is incorrect and Tawhedi entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole, which usually entails much less rigorous vetting than a Special Immigrant Visa.

According to authorities, Tawhedi planned the attack with a juvenile co-conspirator, who was described as an Afghan national with legal permanent resident status.

The criminal complaint alleged that Tawhedi and his co-conspirator advertised the sale of the family’s personal property on Facebook before the planned attack. After a confidential FBI informant responded to inquire if a computer was still for sale, Tawhedi and the juvenile met with the source, who claimed he needed the computer for a new gun business he was starting.

Tawhedi and the juvenile were arrested Monday after meeting with the confidential informant and purchasing two AK-47 rifles, 10 magazines, and 500 rounds of ammunition.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., took to X on Wednesday to decry the Biden-Harris administration’s vetting process of the tens of thousands of Afghans who relocated to the U.S. following the withdrawal of American forces from the country in August 2021.

“Following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, more than 77K Afghans were given humanitarian parole, with little to no vetting and no intent to know their whereabouts,” Johnson wrote. “Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi – the terrorist plotting an election day attack – was one of them.

“Whether it’s their open-border policies or failed foreign policy, this administration continues to risk American lives by allowing terrorists, murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals into our homeland.”

Tawhedi was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, which if he is convicted carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, and receiving a firearm to be used to commit a felony or a federal crime of terrorism, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years.

Yes Virginia, it was Trump and Musk who got the Starlink to NC. Not the Administration.

I want to thank my old friends from McClatchy DC for the bulk of this article.

Yes Virginia, it was Trump and Musk who got the Starlink to NC. Not the Administration. Obscure websites and MSM are trying to take away credit for the Starlink work done by Trump and Musk. Giving the Administration credit for using Starlink. Remember the government eliminated Starlink from providing North Carolina with Internet service.

To reconnect emergency responders and residents after Hurricane Helene, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has shipped dozens of Starlink satellite systems to rural Western North Carolina.

On Monday, FEMA announced 40 Starlink systems were in the region to assist emergency communications, with plans to deploy one system to each county affected by the storm. Another 140 systems will be sent to aid “with communications infrastructure restoration,” the White House said in a Sept. 30 statement on relief efforts. TOP VIDEOS

A subsidiary of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Starlink has positioned more than 6,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit to beam broadband internet service to on-the-ground terminals.

The first North Carolina households installed Starlink in 2021, and since then, the system has been used in the aftermaths of natural disasters and war worldwide where traditional internet infrastructure faltered. Ukraine fighters, for example, have relied on Starlink in their battle against Russia.

On Tuesday, North Carolina mountain counties reported Starlink enabled emergency responders to receive calls and residents to check in on family. In Ashe County, north of Boone, the emergency management department has established connection at more than a half-dozen fire stations.

Residents are advised to turn on Wi-Fi calling on their phones to link to this satellite service. Residents and volunteers clean up on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024 after the French Broad River flooded downtown Marshall. The remnants of Hurricane Helene caused widespread flooding, downed trees, and power outages in western North Carolina.

Trump said Monday during a speech in Valdosta, Georgia, that he had spoken to Musk about delivering Starlink systems to storm-affected areas. Early the next morning, Musk, who has endorsed Trump’s reelection bid, announced his coordination with the Republican candidate.

On the platform X, which Musk also owns, the SpaceX founder wrote “Earlier today, @realDonaldTrump alerted me to additional people who need Starlink Internet in North Carolina. We are sending them terminals right away.”

On Tuesday, North Carolina state Sen. Danny Britt, a Republican who represents the Sandhills counties of Robeson, Hoke and Scotland across the state from Western North Carolina, posted on X that he had asked Trump “for help restoring communications to Western NC, and he delivered.”

“Within hours, President Trump got Elon Musk on the phone and a commitment of as many Starlink devices as we need to help save North Carolinians.”

Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, visited Hickory on Wednesday to deliver 300 Starlink systems in a visit coordinated by Medic Corps, a group running relief operations out of the Hickory Regional Airport. Ivanka Trump took photos with pilots, airport staff and volunteers.

Some on social media claimed that President Joe Biden or the Federal Communications Commission previously revoked from Starlink more than $900 million in grant funds to expand high-speed internet access in rural North Carolina.

COVID vaccine science catching up with ‘conspiracy theorists’.

COVID vaccine science catching up with ‘conspiracy theorists’.

By Raphael LatasterPHD,

Two new peer-reviewed medical journal articles indicate that the science is starting to catch up with the ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘anti-vaxxers’ such as myself, also known as people that rationally asked questions of novel products that were rushed out the door, to help stem a pandemic that was far less deadly than all other causes, including cardiovascular diseasecancer, and even tobacco use (and note that COVID-19 deaths tend to be inflated). Publishing in the Polish Annals of Medicine, Thoene conducts a limited literature review on the reporting of COVID-19 vaccine severe adverse events in scientific journals, finding:

“From 2020 to 2024, the literature has gone from claiming there are absolutely no SAEs from mRNA based vaccines (2020/2021) to an acknowledgment of a significant number of various SAEs (2023/2024); including but not limited to neurological complications, myocarditis, pericarditis and thrombosis. … The early scientific literature was biased, so as not to report SAEs, due to social and political concerns and overwhelming corporate greed. Only in the last year have scientists been able to publish articles that acknow- ledge a high number of SAEs linked to mRNA based vaccines. This should act as a warning that science should be completely objective when evaluating health risks, but can often be influenced by social and economic considerations.” Source.

Proving once again that Eastern Europeans are based (the Hungarians stand up to the EU on immigration [source], and the Bulgarians published my little study on the correlation between COVID-19 vaccination and European excess mortality), the Polish journal kindly accepted my brief response, entitled ‘Scientific views around mRNA based covid vaccines are changing, but to what end?’, praising them and Thoene for this important paper, and noting that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Source. There is so much more in the published science that most people are unaware of, such as:

  • Thacker, on “issues such as data falsification and patient unblinding concerning Pfizer’s vaccine trial”.
  • Fraiman et al., on the “excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest with the mRNA vaccines”.
  • Benn et al., on there being “no statistically significant decrease in COVID-19 deaths in the mRNA vaccine clinical trials, while there was an increase (also not statistically significant) in total deaths”.
  • The JECP4 articles by Doshi’s team and Lataster’s team (of one, because nobody likes me…) on “counting window issues (such as counting window delays, counting window biases, and counting window misclassifications), likely leading to exaggerated effectiveness and safety estimates” in the clinical trials and major observational studies, with one of the major problems being “when COVID-19 infections are being overlooked in the ‘partially vaccinated,’ and in some cases were even ascribed to unvaccinated groups”. Note that Mead et al. discussed some similar issues and yet was astonishingly retracted.
  • Faksova et al., which Thoene barely mentioned, and which demonstrated that the vaccines are associated with several concerning adverse effects, despite employing a counting window endpoint of only 42 days following vaccination.
  • Raethke et al., “which noted a rate of serious adverse drug reactions of approximately 1 per 400 people”, which I note compares “very unfavourably with UK government estimates on the numbers needed to vaccinate in young and healthy people to prevent a severe COVID-19 hospitalisation being in the hundreds of thousands”.
  • Mostert et al., on the “mysterious problem of excess mortality post-pandemic, which they hint could be related to the COVID-19 vaccines”, and my aforementioned Bulgarian Medicine article demonstrating that there are indeed correlations between COVID-19 vaccination and European excess deaths.
  • Of course, my ‘favourite’ topic, COVID-19 vaccine negative effectiveness, where “the vaccines increase the chance of COVID-19 infection, and even COVID-19 death, a ‘benefit’ which is of course a poor trade-off for the risk of (other) adverse effects”. This “led to some discussion in major medical journals such as the BMJ [and also AJGP], with the most common excuse for this phenomenon being that there must be some confounding variable at play”, an “excuse that somehow does not apply before vaccine effectiveness crosses the x-axis, indicating a clear double standard (one of many) in how the vaccines are evaluated”.
  • Fürst et al. (those Eastern Europeans again!), on evidence “that a healthy vaccinee bias is at play”, which “would further imply that the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines is being exaggerated, beyond the effects of counting window issues and other data manipulations, even when declining to zero and beyond”.
  • The “substantive critiques appearing in influential medical journals of major observational studies purporting the benefits of the vaccines (with more on the way)”. These include my BMJ rapid response on the WHO’s jab study and the little academic debate between myself and a team from Johns Hopkins. Much more coming soon…

Still wondering how I managed to get this published, I end with a stark warning for those who partook in the deadly con:

“There is clearly much research on the COVID-19 vaccines, published in the biggest medical journals, which greatly contradict the mainstream and early, as well as ongoing, claims concerning their safety and effectiveness, and even necessity, for all. There is much more not mentioned in this brief article, and there is no doubt more to come. It seems obvious to me, that at least for the young and healthy, COVID-19 vaccines are most certainly not worth the risk, even when considering just a single adverse effect (myocarditis), no matter how rare it is purported to be – serious COVID-19 in the young and healthy is rarer still, and the same is even more true when considering the little to no benefits offered by what increasingly appears to be a feckless vaccine.

There have already been many legal actions, including victories (as with myself), initiated on behalf of the (somehow still alive) unvaccinated who were persecuted over a pharmaceutical product that they clearly did not need, and the vaccinated who have died and otherwise been injured as a result of vaccination. I anticipate that many more lawsuits are on the horizon, involving – amongst others – the vaccine manufacturers; the government officials that approved, encouraged, and even mandated the vaccines; and the many doctors and scientists who effectively betrayed their professions and public trust in encouraging the use of these flawed products based on very limited and even manipulated scientific evidence.”

Of course, while the science is starting to catch up, and the lawsuits are continuing apace (source), we’re still being told by our governments and mainstream media to roll up our sleeves, even those of us as young as 6 months.

Data backs up Trump on crime increase, violence up under Biden-Harris administration.

Data backs up Trump on crime increase, violence up under Biden-Harris administration.

Crime rates remained elevated last year under President Biden, according to Justice Department data released Thursday that challenges a prevailing media and White House narrative.

The data comes from a massive annual government-run survey of crime victims.

It found 22.5 of every 1,000 residents reported being the victim of a violent crime in 2023, and 102.2 per 1,000 reported facing a property crime.

“Violent crime increased by 37% under the Biden administration, compared to a drop of 17% under the Trump administration,” he said.

Mr. Trump’s campaign said the data showed “crime rates remain WAY UP under Kamala Harris — throwing a dagger straight through the heart of claims to the contrary by Democrats and their Fake News allies.”

The Washington Times has reached out to the White House and Ms. Harris’ campaign for response.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics runs the National Crime Victimization Survey, which annually reaches nearly a quarter-million people in 150,000 households.

It is one of two primary national tallies of overall crime rates. The FBI’s national crime reporting database compiles crimes reported to local police departments.

The FBI data suggested that crime reports had dropped over the past couple of years, but the victimization data suggests this is false.

The issue played out during the presidential debate Tuesday when Mr. Trump made crime rates a theme of attack on Ms. Harris.

“Crime is through the roof,” Mr. Trump said.

At that point, David Muir, the moderator for debate host ABC, stepped in to fact-check Mr. Trump using FBI data.

“President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country,” he said.

Mr. Trump said the FBI’s data was suspect, and Mr. Lott said he is right to be skeptical.

In 2020, 97% of police departments reported their data to the FBI, though 10% reported incomplete data. By 2022, 31% weren’t reporting data at all and another 24% were reporting incomplete data.

That means less than half of police departments were reporting complete data to the FBI, Mr. Lott said. A further issue is how often people report crimes to police.

ABC didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics data released Thursday says overall crime reporting rates remained the same from 2022 to 2023 but dropped significantly in some categories, such as robberies and motor vehicle thefts.

Mr. Lott said the victimization data showed significant improvements in several major crimes during the Trump administration. He said aggravated assaults fell by 24% under Mr. Trump but rose 55% under Mr. Biden, according to the data for 2023.

Robbery, which fell 6% under Mr. Trump, is up 63% under Mr. Biden. Rape, which was flat under Mr. Trump, is up 42% under Mr. Biden.

The FBI has better data for one crime: homicide. It is almost always reported, and the victimization survey has no way to measure it.

The latest full-year FBI data, covering 2022, showed a 6.1% drop in homicides from 2021.

Some experts said they don’t think either survey alone is a proper indicator of crime rates and said aggregating the numbers for a national picture doesn’t make sense. Those experts argue that there are too many regional factors.

Looking over a longer horizon, crime rates under Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are much lower than in the early 1990s, when violent crime victimization neared 80 per 1,000 residents, or more than three times their current rate.

Both are statistically unchanged from 2022 but are significantly

higher than in 2020, the last year under President Trump.

The data said Americans aren’t reporting some of the most common crimes to police as often. Just 44% of self-reported robbery victims said they filed a police report last year, down substantially from 64% in 2022.

The numbers indicate that crime has risen under Mr. Biden and fell during the Trump administration, said John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, who has tracked the data over the years.

He said the new data undercuts claims by the Biden White House, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign and news media figures that crime rates are falling. Their claims are based on FBI data.

Never Forget What They Did. A Look Back at COVID Tyranny.

Here’s a look back at what they did to the noncompliant in the name of “health.”

Precisely three years ago, Joe Biden officially declared you (the unvaccinated) an enemy of the state. “We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,” he said after announcing sweeping “vaccine” mandates.

This was the moment that sent a deep chill down my spine and raised all alarm bells that we were on a very dangerous path. The President of the United States was directly threatening his own citizens and blaming a subset of people for the ongoing COVID crisis.

I realized I was witnessing Germany 2.0 unfolding before my very eyes and knew it had to be stopped before things got worse. I decided then that I could no longer be a spectator and started taking steps toward creating the account you see today, @VigilantFox.

What ensued after Biden’s speech was one of the most hate-filled propaganda campaigns in human history. Here’s a look back at what they did to the noncompliant in the name of “health.”

Even if you were vaccinated — took two shots yourself, if you dared speak out against the mandates, you were just as much “anti-vax” as the unvaccinated.

Not my words. Former NT Chief Minister Michael Gunner’s. (November 2021)

“If you are anti-mandate, you are absolutely anti-vax. I don’t care what your personal vaccination status is. If you support, champion, give a green light, give comfort to, support anybody who argues against the vaccine, you are an anti-vaxxer. Absolutely! Your personal vaccination status is utterly irrelevant.”

In other words, “If you dare to question the authority of the state, we will also place you into the ‘other’ category.”

And then came discriminatory lockdowns of the unvaccinated — most notably in Austria. (November and December of 2021)

The unvaccinated were barred from leaving their homes for all “non-essential” purposes. You couldn’t even take your family out for a humble meal at McDonald’s without the threat of police barging in to check your papers.

Keep in mind that it was well known that the COVID-19 “vaccines” did not stop transmission at this time. However, governments worldwide continued to punish the unvaccinated, stripping away their jobs, their ability to travel, and their ability to feed their families…

Neighbors turned on neighbors.

The propaganda became more ridiculous.

The unvaccinated were ridiculed after death.

 

An entire subreddit was dedicated to mocking such people to their graves after supposedly dying of COVID-19. We all know what really happened in those hospitals. This was a low point in groupthink behavior that sadly continues to persist today.

Life-saving transplants were denied to the unvaccinated.

Police violently pushed elderly women to the ground — and then pepper sprayed them.

Quarantine camps even popped up in Australia.

Fines of up to 5,000 Australian dollars were issued against breaking the rules on their grounds, such as leaving your designated porch area without a mask on.

They went as far as to divide us with fences…

 

And Austria even intended to criminalize being unvaccinated… (December 2021)

SOS from Austria at the time:

“An Austrian newspaper published the rules the government wants to introduce on first of [February] already here in Austria. Those rules say that if you’re not vaccinated, you can get fined up to 2000 euros each time you’re caught unvaccinated. This can mean, and this is explicitly being said so that you can also get fined more than once a day, or three times, four times, five times if you’re unvaccinated. If you refuse to pay this, the government wants to put us into a separate prison which has to be created for unvaccinated people up to one year.”

On a global scale, the unvaccinated were treated like animals, “others.” So were the people who didn’t want to wear a mask…

An Australian police officer manhandled and appeared to choke a young woman for mask noncompliance outdoors.

“He’s f*cking choking me! You’re choking me! What the F*ck!”

Even after all the psychological, social, and economic abuse, they were still proven unsuccessful in breaking your spirit.

I truly believe, had people not resisted, that Germany 2.0 could have been an actual thing. It was resistance, not “The Science™” that toppled vaccine mandates — and the discriminatory practices that came along with them.

The Canadian truckers led the way with the Freedom Convoy, the single most monumental demonstration of peaceful resistance I have seen in my lifetime.

After weeks of bouncy houses, hockey games, and dance parties in the streets of Ottawa, Trudeau had no choice but to expose himself as a full-on tyrant — bank accounts frozen!

As we look back at where vax mandates are now vs. where they were then, there is no about the HUGE impact the trucker convoy had on COVID policy, not only in Canada but around the world.

But each and every person who resisted COVID tyranny also deserves thanks.

If you had the courage to resist vaccination or speak out against the mandates, I want to offer you my deepest gratitude. Thanks to your bravery and the millions alike, we’ve been spared from the gulags and have the powers that be on the ropes.

So, let’s mark September 9, 2021, on the calendar as a day to be remembered — as a day that we all decided not to put up with this bullsh*t any longer.

Thank you for resisting. Happy ‘Do Not Comply’ Day.

Thanks for reading! The events that transpired during COVID are cumulatively the worst thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire life. We must look back, understand how it happened, and take steps to ensure it never happens again.
