Hillary Clinton is infamous for an explosive remark made in a Congressional 
hearing, “At this point, what difference does it make.” While I genuinely detest quoting this particular person, she has a point where the 2020 Elections are concerned, not a good point, but a point. At this point, what difference does it make in discussing the 15 Million votes from 2020 that were improperly counted, improperly handled, erroneously scrapped, and treated scandalously? Will these votes change the fate of Afghanistan; no. Will these votes remove the fraudulent president; no. Will these votes correct an abuse of the voter in 2020 and place the real winner of the election into the presidency; no.
What difference “… at this point does it make?” It changes how we move forward in voting. It places the onerous upon current sitting politicians to safeguard voting systems, processes, and procedures to ensure this madness never occurs again! Riddle me this, was COVID hyped and mass-fear spread to allow for voting to be abused to push a useless and senile president into office? I digress.
Hence, I would like to open the conversation into improving voting in America. It is long past time for common sense voting safeguards to be installed and mandated at the local levels of government. Here are my suggestions, let us use logic and discern the best path forward for America.
-

- Refuse the Federal Government legislation being pushed in the US House right now, the “For the People” Acts to demand a “Federal Government Mandate” for voting. Let’s be frank; the Federal Government could not handle collecting Social Security taxes from payroll and keeping that funded. Do you really think they could handle something simpler, like voting?
- Eliminate the computers! I am done being some byte that a programmer can manipulate. End the charade, open the transparency, and stop using vote computers. A paper ballot is perfect!
- The paper ballot should carry a digital signature containing my picture in digital form and my digital signature, as verified by my government-issued ID. Don’t drive; that’s okay; you still need a government-issued ID to purchase alcohol, tobacco, firearms, take a plane trip, and a hundred and one other things. The DMV can issue you an ID. One ballot, one ID, one signature, one person, not hard to count, not hard to track, and no problems with security. The technology has been around for 20 years to take and print a digital fingerprint; it is past time to combine a bio-metric tag, a digital tag, and a wet-signature with a ballot to end the nightmare of who completed the ballot.
- More transparency, more accountability, and more importantly, less mail-in balloting will mean sending teams to registered voters in hospice, long-term care settings, and hospitals and securing completed ballots using evidentiary procedures that can stand up in a court of law. Plus, it will mean penalties for breaking the law. What happened in Maricopa County was a farce! What happened in Atlanta and Philadelphia was a farrago. Too often, the primaries are just as fraud-riddled as the general elections speak volumes for the problems in local governments where laws are in place. Still, the election officials always escape with their pensions intact into retirement.

Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, New Mexico, Utah, Washington (especially Seattle Metro Area), Wyoming, Ohio, I wouldn’t think you have escaped scrutiny because the media left you alone in the 2020 election cycle. I have personally witnessed the problems in your states, and I know how bad your elections are! Worse, in New Mexico, primarily in Bernalillo County, I know the bad apples and remember them from being interviewed for a job.
On the topic of local governments and Election Officials, apolitical should be the word of the day. When a person walks into the election offices, they should not be bombarded with political messages. Case in point, Bernalillo County, walk into the majority of the County offices, not just the election official’s offices, and look at the political affiliations on display. Take a walk through the parking lot, look at bumper stickers, enter the offices, and find the same political messages on display in the people working inside. You work for the government; apolitical is the least a person can expect from government employees; this is often referred to as professionalism!
Does being apolitical at work mean you lose your first amendment rights; yes! Private-sector employees lose their rights; why should government employees keep their Constitutional Rights when private-sector employees lose their rights? How fast will employment law change when government employees are treated like private-sector employees? Yes, let’s have these conversations. Let’s discuss these topics openly, in the public forums, on social media, in the town squares, and come to workable solutions.

I support citizens who desire to become elected leaders. I refuse to support politicians! Worse, I detest with every fiber of my being politics in its many forms. I hate politics and those who engage in politics from business to the military, from the classroom to the boardroom, and from the private sector to the government sector! Elections matter until they are stolen and become a farce by those who desire to rule, and this is why California, the recall election of that detestable politician Gavin Newsom, and politics matter to every single person in America. In the US Navy, when my department officer told me to “Play the game,” he meant to play politics. To the minions of hell who delight in playing politics, I have found being honest, forthright, and valiant is better, and you will not win!
Please note that emphasis has been added to key phrases to support knowledge of the complete etymology and enhance awareness. Frankly, I would be ashamed to be called a politician. Being called a politician means I possess a derogatory approach to my constituency and am only concerned with seeking power, usually through devious means. As a Noun, politics are “the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.”
Politics is a descriptive tool used to identify certain human activities where power is sought, and devious means and divisive gestures are employed to obtain that power. Every action tied to securing power through devious means and divisive gestures is politics or political, which means derogatory. For those needing more, derogatory is “showing a critical or disrespectful attitude.” Thus, at the root, politicians by their very name and nature are derogatory towards those who elect them into power.
Elections are the formal process for selecting another for an office, leadership, or choosing a person or favorable course of action. Key to elections is that they are formal, which means there are rules, laws, guidelines, regulations, and penalties for the officers selected to monitor the election process. One of the most egregious actions of the 2020 elections was breaking the rules, laws, and regulations of the formal election process in the primaries, which then extended into the actual election day results. Why bring up the 2020 Federal Election farrago? Because as of 25 August 2021, the same pattern is occurring in California, again! Ballots are going missing, ballots are being dumped in trash cans, mail-in ballots without signatures, fraudulent ballots are being injected into the counts, etc., ad nauseam ad infinitum.
Thus, the problem for ALL of AMERICA right now! Primaries are coming, political futures hang in the balance, and the media know that the liberal madness and tyranny from COVID-Mandates has left a bitter taste in every person’s mouth. The polls show no politician being trusted, and if the political machines are to keep paying dividends to special and private interests, then those investing in their favorite politician are going to have to pony up serious cash to buy the elections officials right now to protect the sleaze in office from the school board and Mayor to the president!
Tell me, after the last two weeks of being ignored by the US President, with American Citizens being placed last, if at all, on the priority list in Afghanistan, do you feel represented by your government? California, let’s discuss some truths; your politicians are some of the most hated and despised politicians in the American political system; they win with the lowest approval ratings and polling standards, time after time. Sure, these politicians gerrymandered the living daylights out of their districts, but even then, they should have lost a long time ago. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why these hated imbeciles keep winning office in Sacramento and Washington DC?
You, the American citizen, are needed! Awake and Arise! Find your strength and stand before it is too late and your country has fallen an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle while you slept! History will judge you and me for what we do and say right now; let them record we did not allow the American Experiment to fail on our watch; we fought back against the tide of tyranny and oppression and won!
Ender’s Game is a book authored by Orson Scott Card and is on the level of some of the best military sci-fi I have ever read. While I have not read all of the Ender books, Ender’s Game is by far one of the most intellectually stimulating sci-fi books I have read in the fiction genre. Essential to the present, raised and created by President Obama and the Democratic Party, is the question, “Does the manner of winning matter?”
History is replete with wars, contention, the loss of life, and examples of fighting for moral and immoral reasons, depending upon your choices and moral codes; but, is fighting someone else moral? In the Judaic religion, the Rabbi’s will point to the Books of Moses and declare that the Children of Israel had to obey because God commanded, and wars were begun. The Koran has similar writings. The Old and New Testaments and the different Popes of the Catholic church can point to writings and claim similarly. But, does a commandment from a supreme being make war moral?
Consider this principle in real life. We have the November 2020 elections, which began with the 2020 primaries, where fraud, the inability to count, too many votes for a precinct, and a hundred other issues popped up. Yet, none of those issues were considered fraudulent, just politicking—business as usual. The most extensive problem areas promised to have everything fixed by November, business, as usual, no worries. What happened in November, the same problems in the same regions produced an election that 40% of Pennsylvania does not trust to have been truthful. How one wins matters more than winning!
The battle continues in Ukraine with Russia, unabated, where America refused her ally (Ukraine) for Russia to gain “political influence” with Turkey and Syria. One of the most remarkable historical facts, Russia continues to forget, then remember, then forget that how you win is more important than merely winning! The history books of Russia are replete with this cycle, and every few generations, the cycle repeats. Usually, after a glorious loss, Russia remembers that how you win is more important than winning, and the people rally to clear off the invader, previously Germany!
President Trump has done an admiral job as an elected official in avoiding identity politics, attempting to improve the election process, and honoring the “Rule of Law” in America. Yet, despite all the President’s efforts, the 2020 Election to either rehire him, or replace him, has been fraught with fraud, technological cheating, and deception. All because each level of elected officials, Federal, State, County, City, failed in their most important duty, protecting election integrity.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, even those committing the fraud and deception are failing the integrity test; because integrity requires at its most fundamental base, trust and truth between parties. The elected officials do not trust the people and do not want to give up power ill-gottenly gained to America’s citizens. Those paying for the fraud and deception all have different personal agendas and only came together on one item, theft of the election process for personal gain. 
Consider for a moment your job, your profession; if you failed in your most critical role, would you expect to have a job for very long? Consider a car mechanic who fails to repair a car; that mechanic will not be a mechanic for long. A nurse who routinely gives out incorrect medication dosages or gives medication to the wrong patients will not be a nurse for long. What about a contractor who builds buildings without proper foundations or the police officer who bullies and betrays their badge. Yet, the elected officials who conducted the farce called the 2020 Elections are not being fired for dereliction of duty. The elected officials will not be held accountable for the taxpayer monies wasted, the candidate’s time and money wasted, nor will they be removed from office. Yet they deserve all these consequences and more.
How have they usurped this power and keep this power; by refusing common-sense voter ID laws and flooding the ballots with mail-in ballots and technological solutions that cannot be traced to a single voter. Common sense voter ID laws include showing a government-issued picture ID before being handed a ballot to vote. Consider the following, to enter a government building; you need both a picture ID and a purpose for being there. To board an airplane, you need a government picture ID. To legally buy alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana, you need a government-issued picture ID. In fact, in many states, driving without a license on your person is a quick trip to jail and is a multiplier of charges when caught. Yet, showing an ID or printing the tracking number/serial number of the ID on a ballot is considered too demanding and has been fought viciously to perpetuate voting inconsistencies and allow fraud in elections.
America will not long survive as the “Shining city upon a hill” if the problems with election laws, the lack of common-sense voter ID laws, and the dead continue to vote in America’s election processes! We, the citizens of America, must act! Not the Supreme Court Justices or any other judge, not legislators, and indeed not the winners of the 2020 Elections. “We The People” are responsible and need to step up to retrieve the power stolen by our neighbors.
