“Election Night no longer exists,” writes Victor Davis Hanson at American Greatness, continuing: Returns are not counted for days. It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions. The Democrats – with overwhelming media and money advantages – have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting. Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day. But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to ‘get out the vote.’ Until recently, mail-in ballots were largely limited to absentees, such as citizens living abroad (as remains the standard in most of the EU), or the rare instances where citizens were otherwise unable to cast a vote at the polls on Election Day. And Democrats, just like Republicans, relied mainly on “get out the vote” efforts back in those days.
Sometimes Democrats riled their older voters with imagery about Republicans pushing granny off the cliff, meant to symbolize their false claim that Republicans would end Social Security benefits. Sometimes they used peer pressure along with such fear to urge younger urban voters (whose voting proclivities are a mystery to no one) to the polls, having the trendiest rappers coax them to “Vote or Die.” And when none of that worked, they would do everything possible to rouse lazier and more disinterested would-be Democrat voters from the couch with well-orchestrated busing campaigns to tote unlikely voters to the polls.
Simply put, no one could doubt that, for a long time, Democrats have owned the dishonest ground game in politics. But on that last point, Democrats have taken it a step further. On April 7, 2020, Elizabeth Warren called for new “badly needed […]

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!
