It’s a governing principle. President Joe Biden has delegated at least four key responsibilities to his vice president.

On each one, she has belly-flopped hard enough to empty an Olympic swimming pool.

Border Czarina

“I’ve asked her, the V.P., today … to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders,” Biden said about Harris at a March 24, 2021, White House ceremony.

“When she speaks, she speaks for me,” Biden added. “She knows what she’s doing, and I hope we can move this along.”

Defying Biden’s urgency, Harris did not visit the U.S.-Mexico border until June 25, three months after being crowned border czarina. After shirking her duties, Harris made her second, box-checking border journey this past Sept. 27.

In the intervening 39 months, southern boundary conditions deteriorated dramatically:

  • Since February 2021, the first 42 months of Harris’ rule saw illegal-alien incursions on the U.S.-Mexico frontier soar from 2,450,167 under Donald Trump’s comparable period to 8,326,109—up 339.8%.
  • Add 1,664,203 detected-but-uncaught “known gotaways” from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2023 (versus 384,439 from fiscal year 2017 through fiscal year 2019 under Trump (up 432.9%), and the number of illegal aliens who invaded America under Harris rises to at least 9,990,312. This excludes “unknown gotaways,” who went unseen and uncaptured.
  • During Trump’s tenure, 11 illegal aliens on the terrorist watchlist were nabbed at the border. On Harris’ watch: 382 such illegal aliens got caught—up an explosive 3,472%.
  • Czarina Harris lost 323,000 illegal-alien children. Where are those unaccompanied minors? Who knows? Monsters, quite literally, are exploiting thousands of them as slaves in sweatshops. Even worse, boys and girls are raped routinely as sex slaves.
  • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that from fiscal year 2021 through fiscal year 2023, fentanyl (usually smuggled across Harris’ obliterated “border”) fatally poisoned 222,166 people in America, including those who thought they had consumed legitimate drugs.
  • Maria Gonzalez, Jocelyn Nungaray, and Rachel Morin are just three among many who police say illegal aliens have killed. Even former President Bill Clinton conceded that Laken Riley, a slain Georgia nursing student, was a victim of Harris’ no-border policy.

On Oct. 13, Clinton told Peach State voters about Riley, “a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant,” allegedly by José Ibarra, a Venezuelan illegal alien who broke into America in September 2022, on Harris’ watch. Ibarra reportedly is tied to the deadly Tren de Aragua gang. Clinton added, “If they’d all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn’t have happened.”

  • The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimated in March 2023 that coddling illegal aliens costs local, state, and federal taxpayers $150.7 billion annually.

Broadband Czarina

During an April 28, 2021, joint session of Congress, Biden unveiled a rural-broadband initiative. “I’m asking the vice president to lead this effort,” he said, “because I know it will get done.”

No such luck.

“It appears that your performance as ‘broadband czar’ has mirrored your performance as ‘border czar,’” nine U.S. senators wrote Harris, including Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ted Cruz of Texas, and Deb Fischer of Nebraska. Their Sept. 18 letter continued: “Under your leadership, not a single person has been connected to the internet using the $42.45 billion allocated for the [Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment] program.”

That’s right: Despite Biden’s Nov. 15, 2021, signature, not one American has been hooked up via the BEAD plan, even after 34 months and more than $42 billion in taxpayer money.

As the senators explained, “burdensome climate change mandates” have stymied progress. So have a nine-step review process and a requirement that participating employers give preference to “individuals with past criminal records.” Consequently, Politico reports, “No actual construction projects are expected to begin until at least 2025.”

Bridge-Building Czarina

Biden sent Harris to the February 2022 Munich Security Conference. Goal: Project sufficient U.S. and allied strength to deter Russia from attacking Ukraine. Vice presidential scholar Joel Goldstein told CNN: “I think this is certainly the most significant mission yet of her vice presidency.”

The bridge-building czarina said at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof on Feb. 19, 2022, that “sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states must be respected” and “national borders should not be changed by force.”

Five days later, Russia invaded Ukraine.

Bus Czarina

Harris and the Environmental Protection Agency have pushed the Clean School Bus program since September 2022. As Thomas Catenacci reported on July 19 at The Washington Free Beacon, this boondoggle deployed $965 million to ship 2,463 electric school buses to 389 school districts. Two years later, just 60 green buses serve only 27 districts. Fifty-five districts have fled the program.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee reported last month that diesel-fueled school buses typically cost $100,000. Electric school buses average $381,190. This nearly 400% higher cost, limited driving range, and poor cold-weather performance have flattened the tires on Harris’ fantasy vehicles.

Beyond dispute, Harris is the Czarina of Failure.

Trump Could Absolutely Demolish Cackling Kamala and Still “Lose” the Election if We’re Not Careful https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/trump-could-absolutely-demolish-cackling-kamala-and-still-lose-the-election-if-were-not-careful/ https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/trump-could-absolutely-demolish-cackling-kamala-and-still-lose-the-election-if-were-not-careful/#respond Tue, 08 Oct 2024 14:28:42 +0000 https://freedomfirstnetwork.com/trump-could-absolutely-demolish-cackling-kamala-and-still-lose-the-election-if-were-not-careful/ (The Daily Signal)—Donald J. Trump is on a roll, but his campaign could get run over.

The GOP nominee is on message. He pledges to restore prosperity, retame inflation, reseal the border, refight crime, and resurrect global tranquility.

America was better off when Trump’s “Peace Through Strength” policy bolstered European harmony and catalyzed the Abraham Accords.

Under Kamala Harris’ “War Through Weakness” doctrine, Moscow’s bombs blast Kyiv and Tehran’s missiles rock Tel Aviv.

Trump running mate JD Vance’s commanding debate performance Oct. 1 dazzled voters and razzled his Democrat rival, Minnesota Gov. Tim “Knucklehead” Walz. Trump leads Harris in social media engagement, and the Republican ticket is rising in swing states.

But Trump’s progress could evaporate, thanks to a hazard as invisible—yet potentially lethal—as carbon monoxide.

This election could come down to one or two toss-up states captured by a relative handful of problematic mail-in ballots. Unlike normal ballots, which precinct workers personally hand to and collect from actual voters, mail-in ballots have zero chain of custody.

County clerks or independent printers haul truckloads of ballots to U.S. Postal Service facilities. Letter carriers deliver them as addressed.

Most of these ballots find actual voters, but others reach questionable or even unqualified locations, directed to phantom “voters” who have moved away, passed on, or never even existed.

Left-wing nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, harvest, complete, and submit these ballots at election offices. They also deposit them in unsupervised drop boxes. This “one time only” measure—implemented during 2020’s COVID-19 horror—has become as unshakable as lampreys.

A smattering of such bogus ballots might be a minor nuisance. Unfortunately, their abundance could cost Trump the White House.

A new organization called Common Sense Elections harnesses robust fractal computing to reconcile voter rolls with property tax records, postal change-of-address forms, and other government databases.

Austin, Texas-based ballot security expert Jay Valentine launched Common Sense Elections to expose “addresses such as a Walmart, bank, 7-Eleven, or a college dorm room where the student graduated 12 years ago—all yielding ballots that NGOs gather and vote.” I am assisting this movement to stop bogus ballots.

What Common Sense Elections discovered in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin should trigger klaxons at Trump-Vance headquarters and the Republican National Committee. Here it is in chart form:

  • Across these states, 660,290 mail-in ballots are tied to registered voters who permanently moved to other states. These absentees number 68,983 in Georgia (far exceeding Joe Biden’s 2020 margin of victory: 11,779 votes); 262,488 in Pennsylvania (which Biden won by 80,555); and 42,043 in Wisconsin (Biden’s by 20,682).
  • Voters who moved to other in-state counties total 457,310. These include 65,857 relocated voters in Michigan (which Trump won in 2016 by 10,704 votes) and 169,083 in Pennsylvania (which Trump secured in 2016 with 44,292 votes).
  • Voters who moved and left no forwarding residence total 146,160.
  • Those linked to invalid addresses total 663,514. Pennsylvania is home to 346,505 such “voters.”
  • Voters recorded as residing at commercial sites: 4,914. These reflect, among others, “voters” at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport and a vacant lot at 9145 Mann St., Las Vegas.
  • A staggering 916,100 voters are enrolled with missing or incorrect apartment numbers. This boosts the odds that postal workers will leave unclaimed ballots in lobbies or mailrooms, where harvesters can retrieve and abuse them.
  • All told, these screwy ballots total 2,848,288—in just these six states and involving only these six anomalies shown here. Deeper and wider scrutiny has yielded graver worries.

 

The good news is that Common Sense Elections’ technology identifies these suspicious destinations. It then asks county clerks not to send them mail-in ballots.

CSE also monitors ballots that are filled in and returned. It flags those that arrive from fishy addresses and advises election officials not to count them.

Those who insist on tabulating bogus ballots could face litigation.

Election integrity activists who inspected Wisconsin’s voter lists via Common Sense Elections sued Sept. 30 to require that Badger State election officials verify the registrations associated with 143,742 eyebrow-raising addresses.

Four days earlier, on Sept. 26, CSE’s allies sued Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to address 162,037 registrants who seemingly switched counties or completely exited the Peach State. If so, the plaintiffs want such registrations declared inactive.

Through these and related efforts, Common Sense Elections hopes to make elections great again by rallying America around the battle cry of its website address: StopBogusBallots.com.
