Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?

98.9% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.

1.1% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.

0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

I never had this problem with my old typewriter.

My computer keyboard quit working right in the middle of this post. I had to climb up in the attic and bring out the old Royal typewriter.

I hate it when this expensive electronic equipment stops working right in the middle of an important post. It is bad enough when they make you update the software ever few months. Now they even update every time you turn off the computer and then you have to wait while something is configured. I can't figure out what it is configuring. Back in the day when I used a typewriter all I had to worry about was the ink ribbon wearing out. I could tell that was happening when the print began to dim and then eventually all you had was an impression on the paper. Of course, then all you had to do was to take the ink ribbon out and turn it over and you were good to go. I admit the capital letters still were a bit weak but at least you could squeeze out a few more pages before going to the drug store and getting another ribbon. I had forgotten how hard it was to type when you had to actually push the keys down instead of just barely tapping them. I do not know how I ever got up to forty words per minute on the old manual typewriter. This post alone has taken me almost thirty minutes to finish and I forgot what I was originally going to post about before the keyboard on the computer quit. Well, I guess I will just submit this article and wait until morning to go get that ribbon. I do not think CVS or Walgreen carry ribbons anymore. I would like to check the internet to see where to buy them but without a keyboard, I cannot enter the search question in the little box. Maybe someday someone will invent a way to convey ideas without typing. What is that you say, there is piece of software called Dragon that will convert dictation to text? How can I find it without my keyboard? I sure wish things were still simple like they were in the old days. I would like to continue this post but it looks like my ribbon is wearing out and I do not want to miss the dead line for publishing. Maybe after a night off my computer keyboard will start to work again. Well I turned the ribbon over but it had a red band on the top which is now on the bottom. I think I will have to finish this quick cause my fingers are getting tired and my eyes are getting blurry trying to read this type. Why does everything have to be so hard? (Don't worry folks, Bobby Tony will be okay, he forgot to take his medication and must have had a flashback to the 60's. He is resting comfortably now. The Lifestyle Director.).
