We have learned that the checks and balances aren’t in check. What will happen if you don’t [win the Georgia governorship]? … It’s really frightening. … I’m wishing that the people of Georgia come out and make that a reality for you and the state of Georgia.
Oprah does not, of course, specify precisely what she means by saying that “the checks and balances aren’t in check.” One might speculate that part of what she means is that the Supreme Court ( SCOTUS ) rendered a decision that Democrats don’t like, but that doesn’t mean that “the checks and balances aren’t in check.” Many people believe “the checks and balances weren’t in check” when the 1973 SCOTUS created a new Constitutional right out of whole cloth and that the current SCOTUS simply restored the checks and balances in accordance with their job as the highest court in the land (precisely the opposite of what Oprah claimed). However, it is hard to know for sure because Oprah’s utterance does not have a determinate meaning. If it did, she would have to defend it. It is much easier to insinuate than to formulate.
One might also speculate that she might have meant that the new Georgia voting laws are not to her liking, the law that many Democrats called “ Jim Crow 2.0 ” because they claim it suppresses the black vote (Jim Crow being the laws passed by the Democrats after the Civil War that made blacks second-class citizens). Joe Biden, apparently wishing to exaggerate even more, called it “Jim Eagle 2.0”. However, that canard was exposed when turnout, including minority turnout, in the recent Georgia elections was massively higher .

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
