Report Finds Nearly 350,000 Dead Voters Still on Rolls, Double-Voters ‘Casting Multiple Ballots’

 

A report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) published this week found nearly 350,000 dead voters still eligible to cast a ballot and a significant number of double votes from the last two general elections.

 

Organization President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams told The Kyle Olson Show people are getting registered to vote multiple times, and secretaries of state such as Michigan’s Jocelyn Benson are not doing anything about it.

 

According to the report, titled, “Critical Condition: American Voter Rolls Filled with Errors, Dead Voters, and Duplicate Registrations,” 349,773 “deceased registrants” have been found on rolls in 41 states. Fifty-one percent of those are in New York, California, and Texas, as well as the battleground states of Michigan and Florida.

 

The report found that 43,760 “duplicate registrants appear to have cast second votes” from the same address in 2016, while 37,889 cast ballots in 2018.

 

In Michigan, where Donald Trump won in 2016 by 10,704 votes, PILF found there were 34,225 deceased voters still on the rolls and a combined 13,597 double voters in the 2016 and 2018 elections.

 

Some of those voters who are registered multiple times “are casting multiple ballots,” Adams said.

 

“Michigan voter rolls are a mess and that’s exactly why Michigan should not be doing mail balloting until they clean up their act,” he told The Kyle Olson Show.

 

Adams contended cleaning up the “mess” would be as simple as sorting the list by address and “see who’s all crammed into one house.”

 

In August, as many as 20,000 unverified ballots were fed through machines in Detroit during absentee vote counting. Bob Cushman, an eyewitness to it all, recounted his observations on a recent episode of The Kyle Olson Show:

 

Adams argued that sort of incident will not be stopped “because that’s the kind of thing Jocelyn Benson likes to see.”

 

He said that was how “elections got cooked” around the country. Workers would shove absentee ballots “into the counter before they could be verified.”

 

The danger comes, he said, in determining a winner and potentially reversing that declaration days later.

 

Adams said that “instills skepticism” among citizens and “is destabilizing.”

France says no ‘tangible’ evidence supporting US allegation of secret Hezbollah explosive stores

 

France has pushed back against Washington’s assertion that Hezbollah has stockpiles of ammonium nitrate stashed around Europe, stating there’s no indication of such stores existing in its own country.

 

“To our knowledge, there is nothing tangible to confirm such an allegation in France today,” French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Muhll said in response to the US State Department’s alarming claim.

 

The spokeswoman stressed that France would not allow such “illegal activity” on its territory and that it would respond to such actions with “the greatest firmness.”

 

On Thursday, Nathan Sales, the US State Department’s coordinator for counterterrorism, alleged that Lebanon’s Hezbollah had caches of dangerous chemicals in France, Spain, Italy, and other European states. He said that the chemicals had been smuggled into the country hidden in first-aid kits, but did not provide evidence backing his incendiary accusation.

Hezbollah is creating stockpiles of chemicals so that “it can conduct major terrorist attacks” at the bidding of Tehran, which backs the group, Sales claimed. He alleged that the stores include ammonium nitrate, an industrial chemical linked to the massive explosion that destroyed much of Beirut, Lebanon last month. It’s believed that the blast was triggered by the unsafe storage of the substance.

 

The United States has designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, but its elected arm is considered a legitimate political organization by France.

 

Washington recently announced sanctions on two Lebanon-based companies, accusing the companies of being “owned, controlled, or directed by Hezbollah.”

ActBlue Raises Nearly $31 Million Following Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Death

 

Left-wing ActBlue raised a record amount of money from Friday evening until Saturday morning following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

 

According to ActBlue’s website, which keeps track of donations, Democrat candidates and causes raised nearly $31 million over a 12-hour period, which spanned from 9:00 p.m. Eastern to 9:00 a.m. Eastern on Saturday.

 

The online web tracker for donations was estimating $100,000 per minute for some time in the hours following Ginsburg’s death but slowly trickled. In the hour after Ginsburg’s death was made public, the group reported at least $1.5 million in donations:

 

Hey reporters wondering if this SCOTUS news is motivating Democrats. Here is a chart of donations to our fund to help elect Democrats to the Senate. Donate (or watch the number go up) here: https://t.co/KGWmpELi2L pic.twitter.com/XCEk21Wnyh

 

— Tommy Vietor (@TVietor08) September 19, 2020

 

Once Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced a swift replacement process for Ginsburg’s seat, donations began pouring in more quickly.

 

“President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate,” McConnell said in a statement Friday evening.

 

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign also appeared to use Ginsburg’s death to raise money ahead of the election in November via an email that vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) sent. The email also reiterated that “voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor” for Ginsburg.

 

“We cannot let them win this fight. Millions of Americans are counting on us to stand up, right now, and fight like hell to protect the Supreme Court — not just for today, but for generations to come,” the email stated. “The work of holding Senate Republicans accountable to the standard they set in 2016 starts now. To Joe and me, it is clear: The voters should pick a President, and that President should select a successor to Justice Ginsburg.”

 

“But we know, like you do, that the most important thing we can do to protect that legacy is not just winning the White House, but electing a Senate majority that will confirm fair-minded Supreme Court appointees who believe in equal justice under the law,” Harris continued in the email.

 

“That’s why I’m asking you today to fight alongside me and to make sure that when the time comes, President Joe Biden can appoint a justice to Justice Ginsburg’s seat who will uphold the rule of law and fight for all of us,” the email added.

"I'm Speechless": Police Chase Down Tesla On Autopilot Doing 90 MPH With Driver And Passenger Asleep

 

Another day, another story of a horribly irresponsible Tesla owner "beta testing" the company's Autopilot software while putting countless other lives at risk.

 

And likely, another day the NHTSA in the U.S. will do nothing about it.

 

Today's story comes out of Canada, where a 20 year old man is facing charges for sleeping behind the wheel of a Tesla that was doing more than 90 mph.

 

The RCMP was called when witnesses saw "a speeding Tesla electric car heading south of Edmonton, and what appeared to be no one behind the wheel," according to NBC.

 

Both front seats were fully reclined and both the driver and the passenger appeared to be asleep, according to the report. The car was doing about 87mph on a roadway with a posted speed limit of about 68mph.

Lindsey Graham Says He Backs Trump in ‘Any Effort to Move Forward’ on RBG Vacancy

 

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that he is supporting President Donald Trump “in any effort to move forward” concerning the vacancy left by the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graham would preside over confirmation hearings for the president’s choice to fill Ginsburg’s seat.

 

Graham, who posted his comments to Twitter on Saturday afternoon, said that his decision to back President Trump was driven by two factors — former Sen. Harry Reid’s (D-NV) judicial confirmation rule changes and the Democrats’ ultimately unsuccessful attempt to derail Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanugh’s nomination to the high court.

 

“The two biggest changes regarding the Senate and judicial confirmations that have occurred in the last decade have come from Democrats,” Graham wrote. “In light of these two events, I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg.”

Graham’s statement appears to put to rest Republican fears that he might favor leaving Ginsburg’s seat vacant until after the November election.

 

Following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in 2016, the South Carolina senator said, “Let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.”

 

He repeated the sentiment in a 2018 interview with The Atlantic magazine. “If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait till the next election.”

 

But the Kavanaugh hearings clearly served as a game changer. Earlier this year, the senator reportedly said: “After [Brett] Kavanaugh, the rules have changed as far as I’m concerned.”

 

In a separate tweet on Saturday, Graham directed reporters to his recent statements concerning possible Supreme Court vacancies. In one interview, he said the Senate would work to confirm a Supreme Court nominee this year if a vacancy arose because circumstances differ from 2016, when Republicans blocked then-President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland.

 

During the battle over Garland, the White House and the Senate were held by different political parties. Now, Republicans hold both the White House and the Senate.

 

“If you look into the history of the country, there had not been an occasion where somebody was confirmed in a presidential election year after primary started when you had divided government,” Graham said in an interview on Full Court Press with Greta Van Susteren.

 

As to my view of filling a Supreme Court vacancy in 2020, I’d encourage you to review these most recent statements.

“Julian Assange’s ‘crime’ is to have initiated a wave of truth-telling in an era of lies, cynicism and war.” John Pilger

 

Australian journalist Julian Assange’s court case in the United Kingdom started again last week after a break of several months with the United States seeking his extradition. Its outcome could have an effect on what journalists say anywhere on the globe. Julian Assange’s extradition would mean that journalists anywhere in the world are bound by US laws. If the US can get away with it who will be the next country to try the same thing?

 

It is a court case that should have been thrown out a long time ago as an abuse of process and even more so given the CIA was exposed as spying on Julian Assange and his lawyers when he was in the Ecuadorian Embassy.

 

Sadly the Australian government have thrown Julian Assange under a bus and are saying and doing little to support him which might be explained by the fact that the federal government are currently trying to jail at least 3 whistleblowers in Australia such as David McBride, Bernard Collaery, Witness K and Richard Boyle. And then there was Witness J who was secretly tried and jailed in 2018 which was only recently exposed. (Click here to read more)

 

The current Australian government are just as bad if not worse than the US officials chasing Julian Assange when it comes to whistleblowers. If you do an internet search for Julian Assange it becomes evident that Australian Media are not covering the trial anywhere near as close as they should be with some not even covering the trial at all.

 

Much of the evidence has been very powerful in Julian Assange’s favour and numerous lies by the US government. One of the most powerful defenders of Julian Assange was the evidence given by Daniel Ellsberg.

 

The Guardian reported:

 

Daniel Ellsberg, who in 1971 leaked documents known as the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times and other news outlets, told the court that WikiLeaks’ disclosures had shown Americans how they had been misled about US action in Iraq and Afghanistan just as his leaks, which also revealed previously secret information, did about the Vietnam War.

 

Ellsberg cited a US military video, which WikiLeaks published in 2010 under the title “Collateral Murder”, showing a 2007 attack by Apache helicopters in Baghdad that killed a dozen people, including two Reuters news staff.

 

“I was acutely aware that what was depicted in that video deserved the term murder, a war crime,” he told London’s Old Bailey court via videolink. “I was very glad that the American public was confronted with this reality of our war.

Jane Fonda: ‘We Have to Rise Up and Not Allow’ McConnell, GOP to Replace Ginsburg — ‘Let’s Grow Some Balls and Ovaries’

 

Friday during HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher announced the news Ruth Bader Ginsburg had passed away, which means an opening on the U.S. Supreme Court just weeks before the November elections.

 

Among Maher’s guests on Friday was actress and left-wing activist Jane Fonda, who announced she was “reeling” from the news before urging viewers to “rise up” and oppose Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) effort to name Ginsburg’s replacement.

 

“We have to be as tough as Mitch McConnell and not allow them to do one freakin’ thing until the election is over,” she said. “We have to rise up and not allow them to do it. If Mitch McConnell can do it, let’s grow some balls and ovaries. Oh, my God.”

Rob Reiner Rages over RBG Replacement Battle: ‘This Is War. Dems Have Powerful Weapons. Now Is the Time to Use Them’

 

Left-wing Hollywood filmmaker Rob Reiner is declaring war on Republicans over who will replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. He has also accused Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of disrespecting Ginsburg by vowing to give President Trump’s nominee a floor vote in the Senate.

 

The Princess Bride director made the fiery comments in a tweet on Saturday morning. “Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s body isn’t even cold and Mitch McConnell is dancing on her grave,” he said. “This is war. Dems have powerful weapons. Now is the time to use them.”

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s body isn’t even cold and Mitch McConnell is dancing on her grave. This is war. Dems have powerful weapons. Now is the time to use them.

Sen. McConnell (R-KY) announced shortly after news broke late Friday of Ginsburg’s death that he would ensure President Trump’s choice to succeed the late justice will get a vote. “President Trump’s nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate,” McConnell said in a statement.

 

Hollywood left-wingers are already to pushing Congress to leave Ginsburg’s seat vacant until after the election. Jane Fonda told HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher that Americans have to “rise up” against Sen. McConnell.

 

“We have to be as tough as Mitch McConnell and not allow them to do one freakin’ thing until the election is over,” she said. “We have to rise up and not allow them to do it. If Mitch McConnell can do it, let’s grow some balls and ovaries. Oh, my God.”

 

Rob Reiner eulogized Ginsburg as a “brilliant” jurist in a tweet late Friday. He also warned that President Trump will try to steal her place on the high court.

 

“We must fight not to allow an Impeached Criminal to take her seat,” he wrote.

 

Today couldn’t be sadder. A brilliant Jurist, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is gone. We must fight not to allow an Impeached Criminal to take her seat.

TikTok, WeChat Downloads Rise Ahead of Sunday's Ban

 

On 18 September, the US Department of Commerce prohibited US citizens from downloading the Chinese-owned apps TikTok and WeChat starting on Sunday, 20 September.

 

TikTok and WeChat downloads in the US soared on Friday, with TikTok downloads increasing by 12% to 247,000 and WeChat downloads by 150% to 10,000 in comparison with the previous day, mobile apps tracker Sensor Tower data shows.

 

Mobile phone users who have TikTok or WeChat already installed on their devices can use the apps after the ban comes into force. However, they will be unable to update them with security patches which could lead to glitches within the app in the future.

 

Previously, US President Donald Trump issued a 12 November deadline for the Chinese apps to find a US partner or be prohibited in the country amid allegations that their poor data security would enable the Chinese government to steal information on US users of the app.

 

China's Commerce Ministry has criticized the Trump administration ban and is "urging the US to abandon bullying, immediately stop wrongdoing", saying that, otherwise, "China will take necessary measures to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies".

Here's what Ruth Bader Ginsburg said about voting on Supreme Court nominations in election year

 

Welp

 

News of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death has triggered further division in an already fractured political world: Democrats say the Supreme Court's new vacancy should not be filled in an election year, while Republicans are vowing to hold a vote on whomever President Donald Trump nominates.

 

But how did Ginsburg feel about election year Supreme Court nominations?

 

Fortunately, she made it clear in 2016 when Republicans and Democrats fought over filling the vacancy left by Antonin Scalia's sudden death nine months before the election.

 

When asked if the Senate should consider then-President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, Ginsburg said, "That's their job," the New York Times reported.

 

"There's nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year," Ginsburg added.

 

Several months later, Ginsburg said having only eight justices on the Supreme Court is not good.

 

"Eight is not a good number," she said, the Washington Post reported.

 

And there you have it.

>LEFT LEG GREEN BAND NO PRINTED INFO

 

Leg Bands and Identification

 

Why does my bird have a leg band?

 

Leg bands are often applied by the breeder to help identify and keep track of their birds. Breeders usually apply closed (solid) rings or bands at an early age when the small feet will fit through the hole. As the bird grows the bands cannot be removed unless cut off. This helps the breeder monitor the birds that are to be sold, as well as managing the genetics of those birds to be bred together. Quarantine bands are placed on imported birds for regulatory reasons. These bands are often open (incomplete rings) or pinned together.

 

"Sexing bands are put on the right leg to indicate males and left leg to indicate females."

 

Open bands may also be put on the bird after determining the sex of the bird. Sexing bands are put on the right leg to indicate males and left leg to indicate females.

 

Can a leg band be a problem for my bird?leg_bands__identification-1

 

Sometimes! Leg injuries can be caused by leg bands. The bands can be caught in cage parts or toys and this may lead to breaks, cuts, dislocations or sprains. Leg bands sometimes are too small and may cause constriction of the leg. Some smaller birds may develop a buildup of dead skin between the skin and the band, which will cause the band to become too tight. If a foot is injured and becomes swollen, the leg band will again be unforgiving. In the worse case, this can lead to loss of a foot.

 

All leg bands should be checked regularly for problems.

 

Should I have my bird's leg band removed?

 

The leg band is often the only form of identification for a bird. Unfortunately if it is removed, positive identification becomes impossible and unreliable. A leg band is rarely linked to owners. Previously, many people have freely removed leg bands. Now, because of current international regulations (C.I.T.E.S) on the movement, trade or travel of many birds around the world, positive identification is most important. This is especially true of birds considered endangered or threatened. Verification of where a bird was born (captive or wild) may be required if you move, travel or sell your pet. Leg bands should only be removed if improperly applied, are causing problems for the bird, or if you are changing to another, better means of identification as described below.

 

"Because of current international regulations (C.I.T.E.S) on the movement, trade or travel of many birds around the world, positive identification is most important."

 

Ask your veterinarian for advice and never try to remove a leg band at home, as it is easy to injure your bird. Have your veterinarian assist you safely to prevent injury to your bird.

She is just fine with Democrats stealing in November — which they very well could do with a 4-4 Supreme Court!

 

What a disgrace.

Amazon Keeps Spreading Across America, Plans 1000 Warehouses In Suburban Neighborhoods

 

Amazon is doubling down on ultra-fast deliveries with plans to open 1,000 small delivery centers across U.S. metro areas and suburbs, according to Bloomberg. The expansion will allow the e-commerce giant to take on Target and Walmart.

 

"The facilities, which will eventually number about 1,500, will bring products closer to customers, making shopping online about as fast as a quick run to the store. It will also help the world's largest e-commerce company take on a resurgent Walmart."

 

The small warehouses would support Amazon's efforts to provide customers with two-day and or one-day deliveries for specific items, even if a demand surge is seen. The primary strategy here is to compete with Walmart and Target's same-day delivery schemes.

 

Bloomberg explains the strategy behind additional micro warehouses:

 

"Historically, Amazon gnawed away at brick-and-mortar rivals from warehouses on the exurban fringes, where it operated mostly out of sight and out of mind. That worked fine when the company was promising to get products to customers in two days. Now Walmart and Target Corp. are using their thousands of stores to beat Amazon at its own game by offering same-day delivery of online orders. Walmart also recently started is own Prime-style subscription service, upping the competitive ante."

 

The new strategy is already working at a fulfillment center in Holyoke, Massachusetts, situated near a dead mall, and down the street from more than 600,000 people.

Pidgin play: Linguistic subversion on Chinese-run construction sites in Ethiopia

 

Abstract

 

The Chinese-run construction sites that have emerged across the Ethiopian landscape over the past two decades have given rise to a pidgin—a contact language that facilitates communication between Chinese managers and the Ethiopian labourers under their direction. By unravelling the nature of this pidgin, including its lexicon, syntax, and semantics, this article discusses the power dynamics in Ethiopian–Chinese encounters through the lens of language. A prototypical contact language at first blush, the pidgin spoken on Chinese road projects in Ethiopia is different from pidgins that emerged in colonial Africa. Its structure and use reveal that power relations between Chinese management and Ethiopian rank and file are less asymmetrical than often portrayed. As a site of contestation as much as collaboration, pidgin has in fact become one of the domains in which power is negotiated. By hijacking words and manipulating their meanings, Ethiopian workers play with pidgin in an attempt to confront expatriate management and challenge the sociopolitical asymmetries that the growing Chinese presence in their country has brought forth.
