**Revelation 22:20
Largely overlooked in the controversy surrounding massive Democrat vote fraud in this election* is the harm it has done to Black Americans.
Most prominent is the apparent defeat of John James, a Black Republican, in the Michigan election for Senate. The current and apparently re-elected Senator is a little known Democrat hack, Gary Peters. Peters even had to the gall to mock James' insistence on a clean vote count. So instead of being represented by a distinguished Black Republican, Michigan Black people and all Americans are stuck with a contemptible hack … again.
The bigger picture is election fraud renders legitimate votes meaningless, including the votes of Blacks. If more than the usual amount of Black people vote Republican, as happened in this election, or if many Blacks decided to express their displeasure with their choices by not voting, so what? Just bring in enough boxes of fraudulent “votes” and Democrats win! Election fraud thus further enables Democrats taking Blacks for granted and discourages Republicans from earning their votes. What’s the incentive for politicians if elections are so easily stolen in the dead of night?
The old Jim Crow literacy tests were subtle in disenfranchising Blacks compared to this election. Consent of the governed being dumped on with such blatant election fraud disenfranchises all Americans, including Black people.
But I do not hear much concern about this from the woke church crowd. Instead Jemar Tisby says you should just shut up about illegal votes:
In this political moment we must avoid this phrase: “count every legal vote.” While the words seem harmless and intuitive...inserting the word “legal” implies the widespread presence of illegal votes, which simply is not true.
And this:
Don’t fall for it. Don’t let the current president and his supporters undermine our elections, especially one with historic turnout and margins of victory. Biden is the president-elect and it’s not even close. If you already know this, then make it plain to somebody who doesn’t.
How dare you question the legitimacy of this election and of the fake President-Elect!
Ironic that the woke church crowd so enables the disenfranchising of Black Americans.

*Again, don’t give me the “No Evidence” gaslighting. I will give it the respect it deserves – zero.
There are many things infuriating about this massive fraud being perpetrated on the American people. (And I intend to address how to respond. But, please, nobody do anything stupid. And remember Christ still rules.) One of those things is the ignorant or hackish saying there is no evidence of massive fraud in this election.
Oh really? Project Veritas alone has presented a lot of evidence of late mail-in “votes” being given Election Day postmarks after Election Day. At least three whistleblowers from the USPS have testified to that. The latest is from Pennsylvania, of course. (And Biden has just fraudulently gone ahead in Pennsylvania.) Yesterday, two days after Election Day, the Pennsylvania whistleblower revealed:
“All these ballots that were coming in--today, tomorrow, yesterday—are all supposed to be postmarked the third,” said the postal service employee, who works out of the USPS General Mail Facility here.
The Project Veritas Insider said the supervisors are collecting the ballots and making sure they are postmarked.
“They're getting these ballots in and they're getting, they're taking them from us,” he said.
“We have to separate out the ballots and give them directly to the supervisors,” he said. “They're postmarking and they're at the office and taking them directly to the ballot box.”
This is just one whistleblower. There are at least two other USPS whistleblowers in other states. That begs the question of how much postal fraud do we not know about.
Especially in Pennsylvania, where Democrat hack judges are allowing mail-in ballots to count even if they come in late and even if signatures do not match, this Pennsylvania whistleblower alone just revealed the commission of fraud. Backdated postmarks alone are fraudulent. The only question is how massive the fraud is.
So don’t give me the crap that there is no evidence of serious fraud in this election. Just don’t.
I am not going to go over the details of the Democrat attempt to steal this election. It would make for a long and laborious post, and I have been posting a lot of details on my twitter account. I will say that I told you so about Pennsylvania.
And I am not going to argue about it here. Maybe another day and place I will. But if you disagree that Democrats are trying to steal this election, I will be charitable and recommend you acknowledge at least the perception of an attempt to steal the election and read on.
I will say, as I have warned, that the move to mail-in voting invited this mess even if I am wrong (and I’m not) that there is a Democrat attempt to steal this election. From personal experience I know mail-in ballots can be impossible to verify. The shift to mass use of mail-in ballots alone practically guaranteed fraud even if Democrats did not choose to pile more fraud on top of that.
But leaving that aside, this situation has so poisoned the chalice of the presidency that this Trump supporter does not know what would be worse, Trump or Biden “winning.” Whoever wins will be perceived as illegitimate by at least a third of the country. And that third will be angry. Hatred of Trump runs deep no matter what he does, and many would (wrongly) think he stole the election. And Democrats have already well earned the hatred of Americans towards them with their refusal to respect the 2016 election, their serial election fraud, their extremism, their disdain for the Constitution, and you don’t want to get me started on all that.
Combine these divisions now becoming worse for the next president with the difficulties he will face with COVID, the economy, and who knows what else, and “winning” the presidency has the seeds of destruction for whichever party wins it. I predict right now that if Biden “wins,” the 2022 mid-term election will be a bloodbath with Republicans taking the House and more. Then Republicans will take back the White House in 2024. And if Trump wins, the next two elections could be just as bad for Republicans, particularly since Trump fatigue is likely. Hey, I love the guy, but I can see people getting really tired of him.
When I step back from the present, I wonder if God is allowing this mess in order to give the country enough of a taste of Democrat rule so that we come to our senses and cast out the Democrats and force them to reform or else. Maybe that is wishful thinking, and we certainly neither deserve God’s providence and mercy. But God does act “in strange ways” as the old saying goes.
In any case, the chalice of presidential victory has now been so thoroughly poisoned that I am not that sure I want Trump to succeed in pulling this out (even though I very much support his efforts to thwart the fraud). That even though I think a Biden/Harris presidency will be awful for the country.
Pray.
Good morning?
Just to let you know my plans for Election Day, I doubt I will post much here, but I do expect to tweet a lot so . . . be sure to follow my twitter account.
I will say I’ve noticed an interesting tell already. Frank Luntz was on CNBC this morning talking about polling. And he seemed to be going to a funeral for the polling industry. I think in his gut he thinks Trump will make the polls look foolish again and win.
Anyway, follow my twitter and have a good day . . . even if you are voting for Biden.
