Do you recognize this car?
It’s a 2001 to 2004 Volvo S60 sedan, black or dark colored, with dark-colored upholstery. It likely has Oregon or Washington plates, to be inconspicuous. Police and the FBI want to talk with whoever was driving it past ballot drop boxes that went up in flames in the wee hours last weekend. If [...]
First case of 2024 voting fraud!
A Minnesota woman who died on August 31, 2024, voted for Trump on October 7, 2024, assisted by a daughter who’s also an avid Trump supporter. The ballot was mailed September 20, and by then Rose Marie Javorina was so stiff she couldn’t fill out it herself, so Danielle Miller did it for h[...]

Election hanky-panky begins

Do unicorns vote?
“Suppose you are chatting with your neighbor when, out of the blue, they mention their deep and abiding concern that unicorns are being killed by unscrupulous hunters. You can argue with them that unicorns aren’t real, or you could switch to talking about the weather.” Well, yes, u[...]

Trump wanted “the kind of generals Hitler had”
While president, Trump said, “I need the kind of generals that Hitler had, people who were totally loyal to him, that follow orders.” The Trump campaign denies it, but there were witnesses, Trump’s former chief of staff, People magazine reported (here). I believe the witnesses, not Trump a[...]
