Allowing our elections to be decided by foreign citizens is unacceptable, and the RNC is looking closely at our legal options as we continue our fight to protect your ballot. (2/2)

After playing tape of President Joe Biden addressing the Democracy Summit by saying that “all women and men are created equal,” a Fox News hostess got her panties in a wad, saying, “Notice how he mentioned women and men are created equal, not just men.  It matters, right?  That’s not what the founders wrote.  Apparently the sacred words of our founders, uh, uh, weren’t inclusive enough for sleepy Joe, so he corrected them.”

Well, no, dear.  Americans did when they passed the 19th Amendment.  But please, if you don’t consider yourself equal, make sure you refund 20% of your paycheck to your employer and get yourself home to have a hot dinner on the table for when your husband comes home, okay?

President Joe Biden did not ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for any favors in return for help pushing back against Russian aggression during their 90-minute call Thursday, Axios reports. Zelensky requested preemptive sanctions against Russia and immediate transfers of military equipment, neither of which were conditional upon Zelensky opening an investigation into Eric Trump or handing over a server that doesn’t exist and even if it did it wouldn’t be in Ukraine.

Zelensky’s team spoke highly of Biden, calling him a “trustworthy ally”, but did not signal any movement on the requests for help. Putin meanwhile at the time, may or may not have been running around firing a pistol at a group of political prisoners wearing Ukrainian national soccer jerseys set loose in the Kremlin’s maze-like basement, hunted like turkeys for his cruel amusement.

When they couldn’t find actual people to support their claims conservative propaganda network Real America’s Voice drafted a show producer for the network to spout their talking point–in this case, that Donald Trump is the epitome of masculinity, which is what Hispanic voters seek.

According to polls, Trump won just 38% of the Hispanic vote in 2020.  Biden won Hispanic men by 17 percentage points and Hispanic women by 24.

The New York City Council voted Thursday evening to allow legal resident foreigners living in the city to cast ballots in local elections, a move that will enfranchise more than 800,000 New Yorkers, the New York Times reports.

“People who are looking to get elected to office will now have to spend the same amount of time in the communities affected by this legislation as they do in upper-class neighborhoods,” Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez said in an interview.

New York becomes the largest city in the United States to provide the right to vote to non-citizen residents.  Some towns in Maryland and Vermont allow foreign residents to vote in local elections, and San Francisco allows foreign residents to vote in school board elections.

UPDATE 12/9/21 7:07 PM EST: Spartan was on the scene Thursday evening outside Fox News Headquarters in Manhattan in the bitter cold – well it wasn’t that cold, it just sucks to be standing in 35 degree weather for 40 minutes without gloves – as liberal protestors who identified themselves as with Rise and Resist chanted “FOX LIES! DEMOCRACY DIES” and argued heatedly with “Let’s Go Brandon” MAGA bros. Spartan yelled “Come on! Why can’t you just say ‘Fuck Joe Biden’?!?” but garnered no response from the fanboys because they cheered for Greg Gutfeld.

Nearly one million new people enrolled in health insurance plans available through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces, with major jumps in enrollment in Texas and Florida, states with some of the lowest insuranced rates and the highest coronavirus infections in the nation.

According to Politico, Texas saw a 20% increase in ACA applications while Florida witnessed a 9% increase.  Texas has the highest number of uninsured per capita in the nation, with more than 17% of the residents not having health insurance; 12.3% of Floridians are uninsured.

Advocates point to increased promotion for ACA plans made possible by funding granted through the American Rescue Plan, one of President Biden’s signature domestic policies.  The funds helped produce and air commercials encouraging people to enroll in the exchange, and it produced ads in English, Spanish, Hindi, Tagalog, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Korean.

Georgia, once dependent on slavery for its economy, is again the center of the slave trade as federal law enforcement agents last month indicted two dozen people for forcing Mexican and Central American immigrants to the United States to work on farms and live in camps run by the traffickers, NBC News reports.

In a years-long investigation dubbed Operation Blooming Onion, authorities tracked the movement of people and money in an organization that netted the accused more than $200 million.  The trafficking resulted in the death of two migrants and the repeated rape of another out of around 100 people trafficked.  Other victims said they were repeatedly threatened with violence or death if they did not comply with the demands of the traffickers.

The defendants reportedly used H-2A visas, designated for agricultural workers, to bring the victims into the United States.  The workers’ lives were then controlled by the traffickers, who paid the workers just 20¢ per bucket for onions harvested from Georgia farm fields.

Politico reports that a federal appeals court panel has rejected claims of executive privilege made by Donald Trump on material and communications sought by the House select committee investigating the January 6th domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.

“We have one president at a time under our constitution,” said Patricia Millett, one of the three judges on the D.C. Circuit panel that heard arguments Tuesday in the high-profile fight. “That incumbent president … has made the judgment and is best positioned, as the Supreme Court has told us, to make that call as to the interests of the executive branch.”

Trump and his minions having employed a delaying tactic in their efforts to block investigation into the Trump cabal’s actions to coordinate and capitalize on the violence brought by hundreds of Trump supporters who attack Congress to delay the count of Electoral College delegates.

“So what I’m saying is, stagecraft is statecraft,” Florida Republican Congressman and alleged child trafficker Matt Gaetz tells indicted and once convicted domestic terrorist misprisioner Steve Bannon during today’s podcast.  “People didn’t like that Donald Trump raised his voice, but sometimes you gotta raise your voice to raise a ruckus and raise an army of patriots who love this country and will fight for her.  And if we get more of them in Congress, that’s exactly what we’re going to do.  We’re going to operationalize the performance to go after the people who are imposing the vaccine mandates, who are enriching themselves and who are selling out the country.”

It may not be so easy to see the two-tone version of Boebert standing next to the de-Oranged God Emperor in the tweet of her lame campaign merchandise so here it is zoomed in…

When Republican Kentucky Congressman James Comer took to the podium on the floor of the House to complain that he was ignorant of the findings of the Mueller report regarding the Trump campaign cooperation and contact with Russian intelligence agents, California Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff gave Comer a step-by-step description of the Trump cabal’s interaction with Russians because Comer obviously didn’t do his homework.

Chief Justice John Roberts refused to take up a case from two clowns who complained they could not fly with masks on for “medical reasons” Thursday, the New York Times reports. Orlando, Florida resident Michael Seklecki, joined by Washington, DC man Lucas Wall both say they’re unable to fly with masks on, with Wall specifically saying he was “stranded at his mother’s house in The Villages, Florida, since early June because” the TSA “won’t let him fly maskless even though he can’t medically cover his face.” Seklecki is a registered Republican, while Wall is an anti-mask activist and generally a “vexatious litigant” with over 300 complaints to his name, first having having sued his high school principal in the 1990s for not releasing the vote totals of a student government election.

“Members are advised that votes are expected next week on Tuesday, December 14th, 2021. The House is expected to meet for legislative business at 12:00 p.m. *Members are further advised that multiple vote series and late votes are expected. Pending Senate action, the House is expected to consider legislation relating to the federal debt limit. Additionally, pending action by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, the House is also expected to consider a Resolution Recommending that the House of Representatives Find Mark R. Meadows in Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply with a Subpoena Duly Issued by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol” – Internal memo from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer to Dem caucus, anticipating that the Capitol riot committee will have sent the Meadows referral to the floor by Tuesday.

Doctors went 30-year-old Candice Davis with a horrible choice:  amputate your arms and legs that became atrophied because of the coronavirus, or die.

The unvaccinated South Philadelphia resident with no pre-existing conditions had spent three weeks in an induced coma as she was put on a ventilator.  During that time, she suffered a rare condition caused by COVID:  the loss of blood circulation in her extremities.  Her muscles and flesh were literally crumbling.  It’s a condition that would ultimately lead to her death.

“I said, If my arms gotta go, they gotta go,” she told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s my life. … That’s why people need to be vaccinated: My brother lost his taste and smell for a while. I lost my limbs.”

“It’s not irrational for people that are aware of that information go, ‘you know, I think, cause I’ve seen a lot of my neighbors get COVID, and really well, it wasn’t all that bad, and I said, you know, I think maybe I’ll take my chances, and I don’t think I’m going to, I’m going to actually utilize my own freedom, my own health autonomy, and I’m going to choose not to get the vaccine,’ and now we are demonizing those people. Around the world, they’re putting them basically into internment camps. What is going on?” said Senator Ron Johnson in a radio interview with WCLO earlier this week, per the Wisconsin Examiner. Naturally he didn’t cite any specific examples of “internment”.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has announced that it will remove the Sackler family name from seven exhibit spaces as the consequences of the family’s profiting from the opioid addiction epidemic in the United States continue for the Purdue Pharma investors, the New York Times reports.

In a joint statement with the Met, the Sackler family touted their support for the museum and hinted that the responsibility for funding it might have to be taken up by others, an indication that they are pulling their bequest from the arts institution.

“Our families have always strongly supported the Met, and we believe this to be in the best interest of the museum and the important mission that it serves,” the family said in a statement. “The earliest of these gifts were made almost 50 years ago, and now we are passing the torch to others who might wish to step forward to support the museum.”

Villages, Florida resident and registerd Republican Jay Richard Ketcik, 63, turned himself into the Sumter County Detention Center on Wednesday afternoon to face felony charges for voting twice in an unspecified election, Villages-News.com reports. Ketcik, a 2020 Michigan transplant who registered to vote in Florida in July 2020, is the second Villages Republican charged with voter fraud in as many weeks. Joan Halstead, 72, was arrested for the same offense on November 30th.

New York’s Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday that she’s suspending her campaign for the Democratic nomination for state governor as she concentrates on pursuing ongoing investigations, including a probe into the business dealings of former president Donald Trump, NBC News reports.

James has opted to run for reelection to the AG office where she would continue to lead many high-profile investigations, particularly into the financial state of Trump’s businesses, which are subject to multiple investigations into manipulation of property valuations to avoid tax payments.

“I have come to the conclusion that I must continue my work as attorney general. There are a number of important investigations and cases that are underway, and I intend to finish the job. I am running for re-election to complete the work New Yorkers elected me to do,” James said in a statement.
