Holy shit Harris County TX Dems
Harris County Spent Nearly 40+ million on the 2020 Presidential Election
When the Pandemic hit during our election year, the virus transformed many processes. Most importantly, our Presidential Election. When I began to scrutinize the amount of money which was spent during my county’s election, it was quite shocking the amount of money which was spent in the 2020 Presidential Election as opposed to any other election held in the county. For perspective,in 2020, the Election cost the County $42 million and in 2016, the election cost only $3.6 million.
In 2020, Harris County had allocated a budget of 12 million to run the elections. When the pandemic hit, Harris County Clerk Diane Trautman came into Commissioners Court requesting an additional 12 million so the county could provide mail-in-ballots citing the pandemic.
Referencing Holly Hansen’s reporting from the Texan “In her request to the commissioners, Trautman said she wanted to scale up the elections division to process as many as 2.4 million mail voters. She claimed that ballot costs would increase by $4.60 to $7.73 per ballot due to printing, mailing, and processing costs, and that those estimates included costs for sanitization of polling sites and advertising to inform voters of the by-mail option.
Trautman did not, however, provide any breakdown of her cost estimates, leading to questions from the two Republican members of the commissioners’ court.
“I want to know why this request for $12 million is so vague,” said Commissioner Steve Radack (R).
Commissioner Jack Cagle (R) noted that during the last presidential election in 2016 there were only 2.2 million registered voters, and 1.2 million ballots cast in Harris County. In 2018 he said there were only 1.2 million ballots cast.”
Commissioner Rodney Ellis piped in with his usual rhetoric of racial bating and accused the Republican members of the court of reluctance to approve the funds due to “philosophical differences” regarding mail balloting. Ellis. “So I’m going to vote that we give Dr. Trautman the right to spend up to 12 million dollars to get ready for these next two important Democratic roll calls elections.”
The vote passed 3-2 party line Democrats.
Right after this vote passed Diane Trautman resigned from her position citing “health issues”
Upon Diane Trautman’s resignation, the Harris County Commissioners court voted in 34 year old Chris Hollins, the State Party Vice Chair for the DNC as interim county clerk. Another 3-2 party line vote (D) The motion was set forth by Commissioner Adrian Garcia and Ellis seconded the motion. Chris had worked for Mckinsey, Obama and had been cited for “wanting to turn Texas Blue” he was very vocal about his hatred of President Trump.
In August of 2020, Chris Hollins went before commissioners court to request an additional 17 million dollars so he could implement his “23-Point S.A.F.E Plan” You can read more about the exchange in commissioners court here. What I found incredibly damming with the vendors Mr. Hollins had used, they all seemed to have ties to him through organizations he was involved with. Alongside the fact that some of the contract awards were for $49,999.99 bringing them just under the $50,000 threshold that would have triggered a bid requiremen. The county purchasing agent Dewight Dopslauf told commissioners that proper procurement procedures had not been followed and some of the vendors had already been performing election-related work under Hollins, despite not having been vetted or approved by the county. He also said he had not received scope documents detailing exact duties for several of the vendors in question.
Below is an e-mail sent from Michael Winn (One of Rodney Ellis trusted Advisors) To CTCL requesting COVID-19 Grant Funds for the 2020 Presidential Election. Again, he claims there will be 2.4 million voters when our county inprior elections the voter turnout is normally 1.2 million. SOS State Registered Voters in Harris County
After Michael Winn and Chris Hollins applied for theCTCL Covid Relief grant, they were awarded 9.6 million. Again, commissioners court accepted the grant under a 3-2 party line vote (Democrat) even when Commissioners Jack Cagle and Steve Radack both brought up legitimate concerns regarding what “strings could be attached to accepting these funds”
I found that even though the county spent nearly 42 million on the 2020 Election, many of the Republican Precincts ran into long wait lines, and the county clerk had strategically placed most of the voting machines predominantly in democrat precincts, specifically Rodney Ellis’s precinct.

Harris County TX
More from the article,they only spent $20.4 million, where did the rest of the $42 milliongo, and they had the approximately the same numbers of votes from 2016 elections where they spent $3.6 million. They only sent in line item justification for $20.4 million.
“What is even more bizarre, I found that the Election Administrator Isabel Longoria took 3.3 million from our counties Public Improvement Contingency Funds to cover the 2020 Election Costs nearly 11 months after the election.
Link to 3.3 million for 2020 Election from PIC funds
The Presidential Election in Harris county cost nearly 40 plus million. I guess that’s what it takes to steal an election. (my opinion)
I have hit the county with FOIA requests to get line items of how and where the money went. I will do my best to Audit where the money went and follow up the article once I receive the documents”.

On-The-Street Interviews Show People The Left Calls Marginalized Are Proud To Be Americans
BY: OLIVIA HAJICEK
JULY 12, 2022
A video posted Monday shows conservative political commentator Steven Crowder conducting an on-the-street interview with two New Yorkers visiting Texas. Both the men have immigrant backgrounds, both have traveled in America and abroad, and both said they are proud to be Americans.
Nick, whose family is Italian, said his experience traveling to other countries has helped him appreciate America. “I’ve had the privilege to go to other countries before, and I feel like a big part of really appreciating America is going to other countries, experiencing them, and then coming back,” he said.
“I feel like we’ve lost that sense of community that I have seen in other countries where they’ve had that community,” Nick added. “But at the same time, we’ve opened up our country to all these great people from all different places around the world, and we’ve built kind of a newer community, and I think that’s something that is really unique to America.”
James, whose family is Greek, expressed similar sentiments after having traveled abroad. “I’ve been to France and to Iceland — not that those are bad countries, but I definitely feel the freest here,” he said.
It isn’t just international travel that has shaped Nick and James’s perspectives, however. James said that his travel within the United States has made him understand the importance of self-government.
“On our trip from Florida, we were driving through like Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana in the woods, and we just kind of noticed how arrogant it is for some people from these big cities to talk about, ‘Oh, we don’t need an AK-47.’ You don’t even know what you’re talking about, right? You’ve never been to a place like this where you’re 100 miles from civilization,” James said. “We just need the government to take a step back, and people need to be able to govern themselves a little bit more.”
This interview followed a different video from July 4 that showed Crowder interviewing a couple, Fate and Laura, who had been homeless for a long time before someone helped them move from Dallas to Iowa where they could find work.
“That’s what America is supposed to always be about,” said Fate, who is also black and said he doesn’t care about the skin color of his fellow Iowans. “It’s supposed to be looking after your fellow man.”
The pair said the kindness of their fellow Americans has helped them make it through.
“Would you consider yourself proud to be American?” Crowder asked.
“Absolutely,” Laura said.

Wow
“How often have I said that Trump implemented devolution because we're at war? I've mentioned warfare a lot in the series. Some examples:
-Nakasone: an attack on our election infrastructure “would cross the threshold into war.”
-Trump called himself a wartime President.
-Legal precedent that the court “would not dispute the President on measures necessary to repel foreign aggression.”
-“Devolution EO” (EO 13961) issued in the context of “War and National Defense.”
-IW from Parts 22 & 23
