Texas Now Investigating 386 More Cases of Voter Fraud, Attorney General Tells CPAC
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Sunday told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) his office is investigating nearly 400 more cases of voter fraud and called on audience members that concern about election fraud is not overblown.
The 386 cases that are being investigated come in addition to more than 500 cases that his office has prosecuted, Paxton said, without elaborating on the details of some of the cases.

Mel,
I'm pretty sure if Breitbart produced a cartoon featuring a rainbow colored monkey with a dildo between its legs it would be seen as an obvious, open and demeaning racist statement.
And well, I agree...it is, and it's also a revoltingly perverted one even were it not in front of kids in a library. That it is all those things at once it sounds not unlike some of the grotesqueries the Ammonites, Moabites and other demented Moloch worshippers were practicing back in the day.

Biden, wrong for the better part of 50 years, is part of a MASSIVE MASSIVE FRAUD. And these MORONS may ACTUALLY not recognize SLOPPY JOE, is on the way out. Nor do they care of the consequences.
It's exactly as I predicted many years ago.
All of what was foisted upon DJT was a LIE. It would take hours, to illustrate or present all the liars/players/and insurrectionists. There are obvious culpable TRAITORS, including PELOSI and SCHUMER, but the actors were INTEL, FBI, RODHAM, PERKINS COIE, COMEY, and dozens of FBI and DOJ criminals. THAT IS THE TIP OF THE ICE BERG. SETH RICH, ANTHONY WEINER, on and on and on and on and on. NO ONE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO JUSTICE nor PUNISHED. What does that lead to??

Btw, I'd have no problem with giving AMERICAN funding to PRIVATE SPACE programs, IF THAT FUNDING had ANY SORT OF BASIS, in being PATRIOTIC, and more so, aiding the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
Goofy assed libtard commie clowns, DO NOT have a clue as to what this means. So, AMERICAN and BRITISH OLIGARCHS, are taking US, to where no MAN or BIRTHING PERSON has ever gone before. And in doing so, these WHITE SUPREMACIST OLIGARCHS, will own the technology and ALL REVENUES-thereof.
And the OLIGARCHS, will own all of the TECHNICAL, SCIENTIFIC, and MILITARY or NATIONAL SECURITY ADVANTAGES, therein. Which will OBVIOUSLY, lead to U.S. GUBMINT LAWS, that shit on those who took the risks, and more so, MADE THIS SHIT HAPPEN.
An excellent analysis by Sundance. In case you have doubts about that letter from the Philly US attorney, down in the comments someone unearthed a video of Tony Schaefer saying that Barr called him personally and asked him to back off investigating election fraud. So that's two strikes against Barr.
I also would remind you that after Trump won the election, Jeff Sessions insisted on being named AG rather than Homeland Security (which one would have thought given his stance on immigration) and one he got the appointment, HE PROMPTLY RECUSED HIMSELF FROM INVESTIGATING SPYGATE. That seems to me to be a deliberate effort to slow things down and at the same time plunk himself down in a position where it was almost impossible to fire him.
I do not want to hear one criticism of Trump's personnel choices. Joe DiGenova was on his radio show almost every day swearing what a good appointment Barr was. Manafort was inserted into the campaign at the insistence of the RNC. Almost everyone here thought John Bolton was a great appointment.
If it weren't for Trump we would have no idea how corrupt our institutions really are. Those people in DC will be lucky if they aren't facing France, 1789.

Forty years ago the country decided to go on a debt fueled binge of asset bubbles. They got most of the money to build their giant Estes rockets by the Federal government borrowing trillions of dollars to inflate their stock prices and handing the taxpayers the bills.
Once the bubbles pop they'll still be quite rich, but the dopes on pensions with deflated houses won't.
But somebody still has to pay that $30 trillion [and counting] back.

~ Styx, Too Much Time On My Hands, Paradise Theater (1980)
So far we have covered these three rules I use in considering problems in the political realm:
1. Always ask "Who benefits?"
2. Always look for the contradictions.
3. Always look for examples of magical thinking.
Given that Kamala is searching for root causes in the same manner as O.J. is looking for the "real" killer, number 4 on the hit parade is this:
4. Has the problem or issue been defined correctly?
Team Harris/Biden has decided Cubans are protesting lack of a Covid vaccine rather than an oppressive regime. That is a laughable assertion, but they are in a tough spot because much of what socialism is in Cuba, they want to bring to America.
True problem solving requires doing one important thing – defining the problem. Doing so is so essential and critical to actually getting a desired result that nothing can be resolved without accurately taking this first step. Trying to solve something that isn’t the problem is a waste of time and resources and a sure guarantee that the situation will never be resolved.
I want to highlight an article by Dwayne Spradlin I ran across in the Harvard Business Review several years ago.
At the time, Spradlin was the president and CEO of InnoCentive, an online marketplace that connects organizations with freelance problem solvers in a multitude of fields. Now the CEO of Buzz Points, he also coauthored with Alpheus Bingham, "The Open Innovation Marketplace: Creating Value in the Challenge Driven Enterprise" (FT Press, 2011).
In 2012, I attended a corporate study program at the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland, and our class had the opportunity to interview Mr. Spradlin via video conference.
Spradlin said:
“If I were given one hour to save the planet, I would spend 59 minutes defining the problem and one minute resolving it,” Albert Einstein said.
Those were wise words, but from what I have observed, most organizations don’t heed them when tackling innovation projects. Indeed, when developing new products, processes, or even businesses, most companies aren’t sufficiently rigorous in defining the problems they’re attempting to solve and articulating why those issues are important. Without that rigor, organizations miss opportunities, waste resources, and end up pursuing innovation initiatives that aren’t aligned with their strategies. How many times have you seen a project go down one path only to realize in hindsight that it should have gone down another? How many times have you seen an innovation program deliver a seemingly breakthrough result only to find that it can’t be implemented or it addresses the wrong problem? Many organizations need to become better at asking the right questions so that they tackle the right problems."
I would argue that while we do have complex, multivariate problems to solve, the most likely reason that we aren’t solving them is that we are not working on the right problem (there are, of course, many reasons for not working on the problem so there are political reasons for ignoring a true definition).
When politicians practice the black art of politics, the goal is often to apply a band-aid to a bleeding wound to create the appearance of a solution when the only therapy available to save the body politic may be amputation – but they will never tell you that. Their political success depends upon creating the illusion of success – but that “success” is often defined as avoidance of a problem by simply kicking the can down the road.
There is also another aspect of false reasoning that is created by the use of a certain logic tool at an inappropriate stage of the problem solving process. I submit that is the use of the Hegelian Dialectic in the problem definition stage. This dialectic is defined as an interpretive method in which the contradiction between a proposition (thesis) and its antithesis is resolved at a higher level of truth (synthesis).
The assumption that damns this approach to failure is that there can be a “higher level of truth” (one subject to interpretation by the individual) rather than simply an objective truth.
I would argue that while the use of this postmodern acceptance of a “third way” or “third answer” might be appropriate in creating a response to a problem, it is not effective in defining a problem. It leads to a thought process that allows the denial of objective truth and allows the protagonist or antagonist to confuse fact with opinion. This leads to a denial that objective truth exists, in essence, to substitute a “user-defined”, malleable “higher truth” in its place. We get in trouble with this dialectic when one side or the other refuses to set the boundaries on the argument – a relevant example would be the discussions about “fair” taxation. I’ve yet to have any liberal tell me what limit they place on “fair”. Right now, that seems only to mean “more”.
I would wager to say that even though I accept the proposition that a problem may have too many inputs to define, the individual inputs are definable – and as a result, they are solvable. On a macro level, our problems are definable – for example, we either have too much debt or we don’t, either revenue exceeds expenditures or they don’t or we either have too high a tax rate or we don’t. That is where we must start if we are ever going to stop the bickering and get on to the resolving part. Without an agreed definition, there can be no understanding.
There are causes for our issues and to ignore that fact is folly. I am not advocating a cold, heartless and purely unemotional approach to issues like welfare and other entitlement spending but to simply ignore them as a contributor to our problems because they are emotionally disturbing is wrong. We may choose not to deal with them in any way but let’s make that an active decision and not a passive acceptance. Without understanding what role they play means that we will continue to attack the wrong issues and work on problems that will have no effect on improvement while burning valuable assets and calories in haste and waste.
Real solutions to problems are never emotive. Emotions cloud the mind and obscure the facts. As an electorate, we often want the emotion and not the real answer because the real answers are often difficult. Fixing problems is hard work and is seldom flashy or popular.
Cast against Obama, an emotive president defined by soaring rhetoric consisting of empty words and cloying platitudes and the rapidly declining faculties of Joe Biden, President Trump represented the type of "fixer" required.
As Einstein stated, 98.4% the work is in the definition of the problem, 1.6% is so solving it. The reason I always ask the definition question is because in politics, it is the reverse. They spend 1.6% of the time defining the issue and 98.4% of our time and treasure in "solving" it.
It is heartbreaking to hear how bad it has gotten in Cuba. Ever since Obama's visit the regime has become more oppressive. There is a video that is a catalyst for resistance done by several Cuban rappers called Patria y Vida.
The regime concocted their own vaccine, which apparently doesn't work and Cubans by the thousands are experiencing the worst of Covid in a hot, tropical environment. How much more miserable can you get?
No medicine for even routine illnesses. No doctors because they are all being pimped out to earn foreign currency. So much for the Cuban medical miracle.
Thing is, the Cuban people know all of this and are perhaps at a breaking point.
Won't that just twist the heads of the establishment in this country around if they do decide to change regimes?

Imagine that. Trying to break people's wills by lying about them constantly has negative and undesirable consequences.
The color blind society that rewarded merit took a long time and a great deal of effort to build. But that doesn't mean it was impregnable. If you start calling people racists and blaming them for other people's failings and punishing them for it, those gains will in fact be reversed. People who were on the margin but willing to live in a colorblind society will cross back over that margin to open racism. And people who remain committed to a colorblind society will become and will remain openly hostile to any further advancement along those lines because they will quite properly resent like hell the lies about themselves and the threat to their livelihoods and liberties that other races are being turned into by the Marxists.

An excellent analysis by Sundance. In case you have doubts about that letter from the Philly US attorney, down in the comments someone unearthed a video of Tony Schaefer saying that Barr called him personally and asked him to back off investigating election fraud. So that's two strikes against Barr.
I also would remind you that after Trump won the election, Jeff Sessions insisted on being named AG rather than Homeland Security (which one would have thought given his stance on immigration) and one he got the appointment, HE PROMPTLY RECUSED HIMSELF FROM INVESTIGATING SPYGATE. That seems to me to be a deliberate effort to slow things down and at the same time plunk himself down in a position where it was almost impossible to fire him.
I do not want to hear one criticism of Trump's personnel choices. Joe DiGenova was on his radio show almost every day swearing what a good appointment Barr was. Manafort was inserted into the campaign at the insistence of the RNC. Almost everyone here thought John Bolton was a great appointment.
If it weren't for Trump we would have no idea how corrupt our institutions really are. Those people in DC will be lucky if they aren't facing France, 1789.

I don't mind guys funding their own space programs if they earned the money to do it, but they haven't.
Forty years ago the country decided to go on a debt fueled binge of asset bubbles. They got most of the money to build their giant Estes rockets by the Federal government borrowing trillions of dollars to inflate their stock prices and handing the taxpayers the bills.
Once the bubbles pop they'll still be quite rich, but the dopes on pensions with deflated houses won't.
But somebody still has to pay that $30 trillion [and counting] back.

Now, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying...
~ Styx, Too Much Time On My Hands, Paradise Theater (1980)
So far we have covered these three rules I use in considering problems in the political realm:
1. Always ask "Who benefits?"
2. Always look for the contradictions.
3. Always look for examples of magical thinking.
Given that Kamala is searching for root causes in the same manner as O.J. is looking for the "real" killer, number 4 on the hit parade is this:
4. Has the problem or issue been defined correctly?
Team Harris/Biden has decided Cubans are protesting lack of a Covid vaccine rather than an oppressive regime. That is a laughable assertion, but they are in a tough spot because much of what socialism is in Cuba, they want to bring to America.
True problem solving requires doing one important thing – defining the problem. Doing so is so essential and critical to actually getting a desired result that nothing can be resolved without accurately taking this first step. Trying to solve something that isn’t the problem is a waste of time and resources and a sure guarantee that the situation will never be resolved.
I want to highlight an article by Dwayne Spradlin I ran across in the Harvard Business Review several years ago.
At the time, Spradlin was the president and CEO of InnoCentive, an online marketplace that connects organizations with freelance problem solvers in a multitude of fields. Now the CEO of Buzz Points, he also coauthored with Alpheus Bingham, "The Open Innovation Marketplace: Creating Value in the Challenge Driven Enterprise" (FT Press, 2011).
In 2012, I attended a corporate study program at the International Institute for Management Development in Switzerland, and our class had the opportunity to interview Mr. Spradlin via video conference.
Spradlin said:
“If I were given one hour to save the planet, I would spend 59 minutes defining the problem and one minute resolving it,” Albert Einstein said.
Those were wise words, but from what I have observed, most organizations don’t heed them when tackling innovation projects. Indeed, when developing new products, processes, or even businesses, most companies aren’t sufficiently rigorous in defining the problems they’re attempting to solve and articulating why those issues are important. Without that rigor, organizations miss opportunities, waste resources, and end up pursuing innovation initiatives that aren’t aligned with their strategies. How many times have you seen a project go down one path only to realize in hindsight that it should have gone down another? How many times have you seen an innovation program deliver a seemingly breakthrough result only to find that it can’t be implemented or it addresses the wrong problem? Many organizations need to become better at asking the right questions so that they tackle the right problems."
I would argue that while we do have complex, multivariate problems to solve, the most likely reason that we aren’t solving them is that we are not working on the right problem (there are, of course, many reasons for not working on the problem so there are political reasons for ignoring a true definition).
When politicians practice the black art of politics, the goal is often to apply a band-aid to a bleeding wound to create the appearance of a solution when the only therapy available to save the body politic may be amputation – but they will never tell you that. Their political success depends upon creating the illusion of success – but that “success” is often defined as avoidance of a problem by simply kicking the can down the road.
There is also another aspect of false reasoning that is created by the use of a certain logic tool at an inappropriate stage of the problem solving process. I submit that is the use of the Hegelian Dialectic in the problem definition stage. This dialectic is defined as an interpretive method in which the contradiction between a proposition (thesis) and its antithesis is resolved at a higher level of truth (synthesis).
The assumption that damns this approach to failure is that there can be a “higher level of truth” (one subject to interpretation by the individual) rather than simply an objective truth.
I would argue that while the use of this postmodern acceptance of a “third way” or “third answer” might be appropriate in creating a response to a problem, it is not effective in defining a problem. It leads to a thought process that allows the denial of objective truth and allows the protagonist or antagonist to confuse fact with opinion. This leads to a denial that objective truth exists, in essence, to substitute a “user-defined”, malleable “higher truth” in its place. We get in trouble with this dialectic when one side or the other refuses to set the boundaries on the argument – a relevant example would be the discussions about “fair” taxation. I’ve yet to have any liberal tell me what limit they place on “fair”. Right now, that seems only to mean “more”.
I would wager to say that even though I accept the proposition that a problem may have too many inputs to define, the individual inputs are definable – and as a result, they are solvable. On a macro level, our problems are definable – for example, we either have too much debt or we don’t, either revenue exceeds expenditures or they don’t or we either have too high a tax rate or we don’t. That is where we must start if we are ever going to stop the bickering and get on to the resolving part. Without an agreed definition, there can be no understanding.
There are causes for our issues and to ignore that fact is folly. I am not advocating a cold, heartless and purely unemotional approach to issues like welfare and other entitlement spending but to simply ignore them as a contributor to our problems because they are emotionally disturbing is wrong. We may choose not to deal with them in any way but let’s make that an active decision and not a passive acceptance. Without understanding what role they play means that we will continue to attack the wrong issues and work on problems that will have no effect on improvement while burning valuable assets and calories in haste and waste.
Real solutions to problems are never emotive. Emotions cloud the mind and obscure the facts. As an electorate, we often want the emotion and not the real answer because the real answers are often difficult. Fixing problems is hard work and is seldom flashy or popular.
Cast against Obama, an emotive president defined by soaring rhetoric consisting of empty words and cloying platitudes and the rapidly declining faculties of Joe Biden, President Trump represented the type of "fixer" required.
As Einstein stated, 98.4% the work is in the definition of the problem, 1.6% is so solving it. The reason I always ask the definition question is because in politics, it is the reverse. They spend 1.6% of the time defining the issue and 98.4% of our time and treasure in "solving" it.

It is heartbreaking to hear how bad it has gotten in Cuba. Ever since Obama's visit the regime has become more oppressive. There is a video that is a catalyst for resistance done by several Cuban rappers called Patria y Vida.
The regime concocted their own vaccine, which apparently doesn't work and Cubans by the thousands are experiencing the worst of Covid in a hot, tropical environment. How much more miserable can you get?
No medicine for even routine illnesses. No doctors because they are all being pimped out to earn foreign currency. So much for the Cuban medical miracle.
Thing is, the Cuban people know all of this and are perhaps at a breaking point.
Won't that just twist the heads of the establishment in this country around if they do decide to change regimes?

Imagine that. Trying to break people's wills by lying about them constantly has negative and undesirable consequences.
The color blind society that rewarded merit took a long time and a great deal of effort to build. But that doesn't mean it was impregnable. If you start calling people racists and blaming them for other people's failings and punishing them for it, those gains will in fact be reversed. People who were on the margin but willing to live in a colorblind society will cross back over that margin to open racism. And people who remain committed to a colorblind society will become and will remain openly hostile to any further advancement along those lines because they will quite properly resent like hell the lies about themselves and the threat to their livelihoods and liberties that other races are being turned into by the Marxists.
This can't and won't end well, unless this idiocy is ended peremptorily.
