[MIAMINEWTIMES] More than 30 states have provided their residents’ personal information to Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s voter fraud commission, which is charged with digging up proof that millions of Americans voted illegally in last year’s presidential election and robbed the billionaire real-estate developer of the popular vote.
In true Trump fashion, the president has called out states that have defied the commission’s requests. "If any state does not want to share this information," he tweeted, "one has to wonder what they’re worried about... There’s something. There always is."
The commission's chairman, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, has promised to compare the data collected from states against one another as well as federal databases for felons, undiscovered noncitizens, and people who vote in more than one state.
Trump is absolutely right that voter fraud takes place, but he's barking up the wrong tree. Instead of trying to suppress minorities from voting, the commission should take a hard look at the type of absentee ballot fraud that is practiced regularly in Miami during local, state, and federal elections. After all, the city set the standard for voter fraud when dead people cast ballots in the 1997 mayoral election.
From Little Havana to Hialeah to Sweetwater to Florida City, the absentee ballot fraud machines are still in effect. In the months leading to the 2012 general election, public corruption detectives uncovered a ring of Hialeah boleteros, slang for absentee ballot collectors, who were sneaking around old-folks homes and assisted-living facilities to ostensibly help senile seniors and handicapped welfare recipients fill out their ballots. Some low-level operatives went to jail, but law enforcement never caught the ringleaders.
A year later, police raided the business of then-North Miami Mayor Luci Tondreau’s office as part of an absentee ballot fraud investigation that eventually fizzled out. Meanwhile, ...back at the wine tasting, Vince was about to start on his third quart... an absentee ballot fraud case involving a Leon County public school board race unraveled when prosecutors were forced to drop charges against seven of nine defendants because of lack of evidence.
In March, a Palm Beach Post investigative report showed that Florida law still allows candidates and campaigns to manipulate voters who mail in their ballots, and that politicians have ignored warnings to reform the absentee ballot system, which represents nearly one of every three votes cast in the Sunshine State.
Just this week in Miami, an elderly woman pleaded guilty to voter fraud after she was caught casting votes in favor of Raquel Regalado on mailed-in absentee ballots in last November's county mayoral election.

Trump must have been aware of the quote attributed to Stalin: "It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes." (Joseph Stalin)
I wonder how many elections have been stolen in the past? I wonder which party was responsible for most of them? I wonder how the American people would feel about stolen elections that have given the wrong candidate the win? (Rhetorical questions)
[BREITBART] As the debate over President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s voter fraud commission intensifies, a new study has found 8,471 instances of double voting during the 2016 elections occurring in 21 states.
The nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI), which was cofounded by Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer and former Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon, analyzed data from 21 U.S. states and found that 7,271 ballots were cast in more than one state by individuals with the identical first and last name, middle initial, birthdate, and partial Social Security number. Another 1,200 double votes meeting the same criteria were detected within the same state. Given the high methodological bar employed, GAI says the statistical "probability of correctly matching two records with the same name, birthdate, and Social Security number is close to 100 percent."
The 37-page study is unique in that while most past voter fraud analyses have used statistical models to project fraud rates, the GAI report identified actual matches of real votes cast using public voter information rolls. "There are currently no government agencies or private entities that compare all state voter rolls to detect duplicate voting fraud," states the report.
GAI says the reason it only examined 21 states is because the government watchdog group encountered numerous hurdles in gathering state voter data, including: "exorbitant costs," woefully disorganized and incomplete data, and "outright rejected requests" from states. Still, "extending GAI’s conservative matching method to include all 50 states would indicate an expected minimum of 45,000 high-confidence duplicate voting matches," says the report.

I had a few chances to do this - my father and I share first, middle initial and of course the last name. He wasn't removed from the voter roll for about six to eight years, according to my cousin.

But surely you have different Social Security numbers, Raj. Mr. Wife is in the same situation, with no jr. appended after his name. And of course, your signature in the voter rolls book would be completely different.

How about the all the other ways of rigging an election and election fraud?

Well, yeah! To explain further, I'm in Mass. and he was back in the home state of New Hampshire. I don't think it's worth it to drive two hours to cast a ballot, especially when the cousin's wife's family are all poll workers at the father's old voting booth.

Broad brush 'white' Americans for slavery that ended over 150 years ago, but bury the disproportionate violent and destructive behavior of a community in today's society. White America changed its behavior when it was ultimately confronted with the responsibility to face the issue. Refusing to confront the reality today is not going to solve the problem.

They should live stream surveillance and let the people judge for themselves. Most people are smart enough to see thugs and civilians despite skin color. If more thugs are one skin color then perhaps that problem should be addressed as a separate matter rather than endanger everyone and avoiding fixing a community that is ruining lives.

It isn't about racial stereotyping. Blacks are the ones doing it.
What terrifies the left that instead of just shrugging our shoulders and thinking that blacks are just bad, we will now ask the logical question of, "Why is it just blacks doing this?"
Which will lead to more questioning of how they are living and why they are so dependent on Uncle Sugar. It will simply destroy the dependent plantation the demoncrats depend on to keep them in line and voting properly.

What terrifies the 'left' is the aspect of a class action ridership lawsuit over the 'breach of contract' assumed when the safe transport contract is not fulfilled.
For all the integration of females into the service, many have done a lot of good and have served honorably. However, those commanders and first shirts down in the company and platoon level have an encyclopaedia of 'fail' that only the brass has covered up for year. Remember the uproar when the theater commander in the ME threaten Art 15 when the next one got pregnant?* They, the preggies, get evaced and some male gets yanked for the duties (probably making his stateside rotation usually w/family very abbreviated). The Narrative(c) is not just owned by the Left. That suppression of the truth helped lead to this. If you want to serve, thank you, but serve to standards on the terms that the battlefield dictates, because the enemy doesn't care about pols, activists, or your desires in life. Do not endanger others in your ranks because your dreams do not match the reality that is the unforgiving combat environment.
* in olden days a soldier who inflected a debilitating wound upon himself to avoid danger or combat would be courts martialed as a minimum and in the real old days, executed as an example to others.

Again, Trump does something to reverse the insanity of the past 8 years. This is exactly what I hoped for! This and Gorsuch alone make him worthy of re-election. A Jacksonian figure with moments of vulgar and crude behavior, plus silly and immature reactions to things he should ignore, he still is doing great things. We cannot let the Lilliputians in the press and the progs bring this man down. He fights! (With kudo's to Abe for the last )

Frank G, yet Fauxcahontas and other SJWs are screeching about what an insult Trump's tweets are to the "thousands" of transgenders honorably serving in the military today.
Somehow I find it hard to believe that there are thousands.

Ah, I wondered about the origins of the expression "come on you pussies!".
#12
If nobody knows - ie. they can do the job ad use the existing facilities without causing unit disruption - then nobody cares. Trump's tweets apply to the other 99.7% of them.
#14
Thousands of transgenders? I think not. I am also fairly certain that the number of serving gays in the military hover around and about 2% or possibly less than that. My own gaydar is likely not that acute - but really and for trannies? Dear lord, get your issues sorted out on your own time and pocketbook.
The medical and surgical issues are HUGE. Asking combat troops, or even behind-the-front-line troops to accommodate their particular hangups? This is not the job of the military. The job of the military is to kill baddies and blow their s*it up, not serve as social service enablers for every pathology that comes down the pike.

At least it was in days gone by. I can only speak for the Army of the 1960's - 2000, but it's been a social petri dish for decades.
“Unanimous consents aren’t getting passed right now,” Enzi spokesman Max D’Onofrio told the Casper Star Tribune.
The 'unanimous consent' term refers to the effectively automatic approval of noncontroversial items.
But Democrats are forcing debate and roll-call votes on nearly every item brought to the floor, as they focus their opposition on plans to repeal ObamaCare.

I tried to find the original article where I got the "most" from, but could not find it. It was years ago I first read about black cowboys. Most of what I found in today search indicate that one in four cowboys were black, which is more than "some".
Point is that when one hear "cowboy", one tend to think white man". There were a lot of black and Hispanic cowboys from way back.
[BREITBART] Children whose sexual characteristics don’t neatly align with the norm have for decades faced surgery to rearrange their anatomy to resemble that of more typical boys and girls -- long before they were old enough to have a say in the decision.
But now the practice is under assault, as never before. The American Medical Association is considering a proposal discouraging it. Three former U.S. surgeons general say it’s unjustified. And on Tuesday, Human Rights Watch and InterACT -- a group advocating for intersex youth -- are releasing a detailed report assailing the practice and urging Congress to ban it.
The report says "the results are often catastrophic" and asserts that the surgeries "can inflict irreversible physical and psychological harm."

Don't confuse this with the fashionable gender switching fad. Genetic sexual abnormalities are rather more common than people realize.
I would sympathize with this, except I suspect a political gender switching agenda.
[Breitbart] Tuesday on the Senate floor, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) gave a speech upon returning from Arizona after having an emergency craniotomy to remove a blood clot and a subsequent diagnosis of cancer.
McCain cast the deciding vote to begin the health care debate and chided both sides for not being bipartisan over the last several years, saying, "I voted for the motion to proceed to allow debate to continue and amendments to be offered. I will not vote for this bill as it is today."
McCain said, "I hope we can again rely on humility, on our need to cooperate, on our dependence on each other, to learn how to trust each other again, and by so doing, better serve the people who elected us. Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio, television and the internet. To hell with them. They don’t want anything done for the public good. Our incapacity is their livelihood."
[PJMEDIA] Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) said today that the idea of finishing the U.S.-Mexico border wall is "obsolete" and that the U.S. government should tear down the existing fencing.
"The important thing to remember is Mexico is an ally, not an enemy. Our two countries share tremendous economic, cultural and social ties. The idea that we would ever have thought about building a fence or a wall between these two countries is just very difficult to believe. To me, a wall is a fence and a fence is a wall," Vela said during a presser alongside other House Democrats on Capitol Hill.
Double-layer fencing is present in some sections of the southern border while other areas have a vehicle barrier or no fencing. Spending bills that are being considered in the House include funding for building about 70 miles of the border barrier.
Vela said President Reagan called for tearing down the Berlin Wall because it was a "bad idea," so Congress should do the same with the existing fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border.
"The idea of building a wall between the two Germanys was a bad idea and that’s why he decided to tear it down," Vela said. "We are going to vote against these measures, but if it was up to me I would bulldoze the existing wall."
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.) argued that spending taxpayer funds on expanding the barriers at the border is wasteful.
"This bill should be about funding defense priorities, not cleaning up after Trump’s failures," he said.

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, apologized to Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, after she was caught on a hot mic making derogatory comments about Farenthold at the end of a Senate hearing Tuesday.
"Neither weapons nor inappropriate words are the right way to resolve legislative debates," Collins said in a statement Tuesday to CNN. "I received a handwritten apology from Rep. Farenthold late this morning. I accept his apology, and I offer him mine."
In a statement to the Washington Examiner earlier Tuesday, Farenthold had no comment on Collins' statements.
Collins issued her apology after she was heard telling Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., that Farenthold is "so unattractive it's unbelievable" after a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday.
"Well, fat guy. He's huge," Collins told Reed. "He's so ... he's so unattractive, it's unbelievable. Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this bunny, this Playbook bunny?

[TheHill] The National Security Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation violated specific civil liberty protections during the Obama years by improperly searching and disseminating raw intelligence on Americans or failing to promptly delete unauthorized intercepts, according to newly declassified memos that provide some of the richest detail to date on the spy agencies’ ability to obey their own rules.
The memos reviewed by The Hill were publicly released on July 11 through Freedom of Information Act litigation by the American Civil Liberties Union." I am seriously conflicted about this organization.
They detail specific violations that the NSA or FBI disclosed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court or the Justice Department's national security division during President Obama’s tenure between 2009 and 2016. The intelligence community isn't due to report on compliance issues for 2017, the first year under the Trump administration, until next spring.
The NSA says that the missteps amount to a small number -- less than 1 percent -- when compared to the hundreds of thousands of specific phone numbers and email addresses the agencies intercepted through the so-called Section 702 warrantless spying program created by Congress in late 2008.
"Quite simply, a compliance program that never finds an incident is not a robust compliance program," said Michael T. Halbig, the NSA’s chief spokesman. "...The National Security Agency has in place a strong compliance program that identifies incidents, reports them to external overseers, and then develops appropriate solutions to remedy any incidents."
But critics say the memos undercut the intelligence community’s claim that it has robust protections for Americans incidentally intercepted under the program.
[BOSTONHERALD] Massachusetts court officers cannot hold a suspected undocumented Democratin jug at the request of federal immigration agents if there is no criminal warrant or criminal detainer, the state’s highest court today found today in a blockbuster ruling sure to send shockwaves through the Bay State's immigration enforcement system.
"Massachusetts law provides no authority for Massachusetts court officers to arrest and hold an individual solely on the basis of a Federal civil immigration detainer beyond the time that individual would otherwise be entitled to a release from State custody," the unanimous Supreme Judicial Court ruling states.

[NZHERALD.CO.NZ] President Trump's latest speech has broken the golden rule of public speaking - know your audience - leading to fury over a highly politicised speech to a Jamboree of 40,000 Boy Scouts in West Virginia.
Fuming parents of the Scouts present took to social media after the controversial speech in which the President railed against "fake news" and the Washington "sewer".
"Tonight we put aside all of the policy fights in Washington, DC you've been hearing about with the fake news and all of that," he told the boys who were there for outdoor activities and to develop their leadership skills.
"You know, I go to Washington and I see all these politicians and I see the swamp and it's not a good place."
"In fact, today I said we ought to change it from the word 'swamp' to the word 'cesspool' or perhaps to the word 'sewer.' It's not good. I see what's going on and believe me, I'd much rather be with you, that I can tell you," he said.
The President heaped scorn on the "fake media" and said the size of the crowd would be incorrectly reported. He also referred to "this horrible thing known as Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... " and saw President B.O. - a former Boy Scout himself - booed by the audience.
The speech led to a swift backlash from some parents who said they thought it was contradicting the Boy Scout ethos of courtesy and respect.
"My son and I, along with others I am sure, will be dropping out of Scouts due to supporting behaviour that is contrary to the following Mission Statement," said Michael Christopher Stafford on the organization's Facebook page.
Jude Nevans wrote that she was "done with Scouts" after "you felt the need to have my kid listen to a liar stroke his ego on our time."
Darlington Braden said "Shame on you. You should have asked Trump to do a video address. You knew what would happen. This is on you, and now your organization is covered in Trump slime."

The New Zealand Herald reports on an event that appeared to be very well-received by those in attendance.
"Controversial speech?" So, one person was found who was unhappy with the Scout Jamboree and chose to remove her son from scouting as evidenced by "My son and I, along with others I am sure...(really?)" How about this vague statement: "Fuming parents of the Scouts present took to social media." Shame on the NZ Herald for only reporting on those one-off few and not on the many. More fake news.
Plenty of member of Trump’s audience were right there with him. They clapped when he insulted the press and the specific videographers at the event. They booed when Trump made a passing mention of Hillary Clinton during an extended rant about how thoroughly he won the presidential election. They chanted “USA!” when he said that former Boy Scout and current Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price is “helping to keep millions of Americans strong and healthy” by getting the Senate votes necessary to start “killing this horrible thing known as Obamacare that’s really hurting us.”
Maybe he knew his audience? Both the Scouts and the media.
The rest of the referenced article goes on about how the Girl Scouts are much better than the Boy Scouts and their heathen, knuckle-dragging leaders.

the Boy Scouts and their heathen, knuckle-dragging leaders prancing elder role models.
In January 1912, Baden-Powell (Hero of Mafeking and father of Scouting) was en route to New York on a Scouting World Tour, on the ocean liner SS Arcadian, when he met Olave St Clair Soames. She was 23, while he was 55; they shared the same birthday, 22 February. They became engaged in September of the same year, causing a media sensation due to Baden-Powell's fame. To avoid press intrusion, they married in private on 30 October 1912, at St Peter's Church in Parkstone.
Died 8 Jan 1941 at the ripe old age 83 at Nyeri, Kenya. Buried there as well. A Kenyan grave probably never visited by a man some call Soetoro.
[USATODAY] Sen. John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizen he greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscow dossier in an attempt to smear President Trump... returned to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday afternoon to cast a critical vote in favor of health care legislation less than a week after undergoing surgery and revealing he has brain cancer.
And then, in typical McCain fashion, he took to the floor and blasted both the Senate's draft health care bill and the process that produced it.
McCain’s vote was pivotal as Republicans, who hold a 52-seat majority, scrambled to round up 50 votes on a motion to advance legislation to repeal Obamacare ... aka the Affordable Care Act, an ineptly designed and worse executed piece of legislation designed to bring 17 percent of the U.S. economy under the direct control of the government. The previous iteration, known as Hillarycare, was laughed out of Washington. This stinker was passed on a party-line vote without being read... McCain did not announce in advance whether he would support Tuesday’s "motion to proceed," but he marched onto the floor to a standing ovation from his colleagues and voted "aye." Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Daddy, can I be a senator? Murkowski ... representing K Street ... of Alaska voted no, requiring Vice President Pence to cast the tie-breaking vote in favor.
But that was only a vote to begin debate. "I will not vote for this bill as it is today," McCain said, and if it fails "as seems likely," the Senate should go back to the drawing board, with hearings, markups and consultation with Democrats -- all things that have thus far been lacking.
The outcome was a huge relief for President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , who had pushed his fellow Republicans hard in recent days to live up to the party's campaign promises to repeal the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Minutes after the vote, Trump called it "a big step."
But the narrow victory on a simple procedural matter raised questions about whether Republicans can muster the votes necessary to pass any of various approaches to repeal. Moderates are worried repeal will cost low-income Americans their insurance and conservatives are angry the proposed bills do not go far enough to gut Obamacare.
