Van Zant, in Bolshevik Bob's twisted little troll mind, anything that conforms to the far left narrative is "true" and anything that does not is not true" or "false". He uses those words in the sense of Orwellian newspeak and would not recognize a fact if onr jumped up and bit him on the ass. He has proven that time and time again on this board.

Here is renowned Constitutional Law professor Jonathan Turley' column from "The Hill" on how Alvin Bragg seems not to be taking real law too seriously:

Here is a good article on how all of these nothing-berger trumped up charges against TRump are nothing but political manipulation:

Johnny Henry's attempt to deflect by regurgitating Jack-boot Smith's version of the Presidential Records Act conflicts with the interpretations of a number of major legal experts and also conflicts with how these matters have been handled with other former presidents. But most importantly it fails to address the main issue I brought up, and that was the classified documents retained by Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, neither of whom had ANY protection under the Presidential Records Act, and who retained lots of documents they had no legal right to keep and kept them in very insecure locations, a bathroom in Clinton's case and boxes stacked by his Corvette in his garage with Biden. The Biden DOJ and the corrupt FBI have put both of them above the law in our two tier system of "justice">

The only racebaiter on these boards is Bigot Bob. Bobbie is so obsessed with race that he totally ignores the fact that DEI covers a whole lot of other things besides race. Race itself has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to perform the positions mentioned in this post, and the problem is the other aspects of employees that are being overlooked often in the area of mental stability and ability.

For every job, the most qualified person should get it, regardless of any personal factors. That is called being fair and objective.

Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were certainly above the law in our two tier "justice" system. They had no rights whatsoever under the Presidential Records Act to take classified documents, but they did, and lots of them. The crooked, bent, partisan FBI and DOJ let them go scot free. Trump, who DID have rights to retain documents under the Presidential Records Act, was treated wholly differently and the FBI / DOJ goons went after him, hammer and tongs. "Justice" in America these days clearly depends on your politics.

There he goes again! Blowhard Bob is such a race baiter, that he does not even look at the real issues involved. The DEI hire in the Secret Service who went bezerk was hired for gender, NOT race. The FAA Air Traffic Controller hires who are questionable have head problems or temperament problems of some sort, NOT a racial issue. As usual Bigot Bob wants to make everything about race when it actually is NOT. What a moron.

What is really needed in the next administration is a special prosecutor on election interference to punish those who have engaged in politically motivated Stalin Show Trials. Letitia James, Judge Engoron, Alvin Bragg, Judge Merchan, Fani Willis, and Jack Smith should all be prosecuted for election interference. So should those involved in subverting the 2020 election like Marc Elias and Mark Zuckerburg.

The Biden DOJ has prosecuted and jailed a comic for a satire on Democrat efforts to change voting methods as "election interference" so they have opened the door. What these scoundrels in our justice system have done with their Stalin Show Trials is so much worse and so much more damaging to our democracy. They should be punished and punished severely.

Same old Bullsh!t Bob. The facts don't fit his far left narrative so he whines falsely that it is "not true". In fact if one reads the linked article and checks out other stories on the same events, they will find that since the FAA went DEI, the near misses have been coming as a result of incompetent air traffic controllers sending planes on collison courses with other planes.

Racist? The concerns raised about FAA's DEI mantra was that they were accepting people with impairments, including mental and tempermental impairments that could adversely impact their performance. Race was not the issue. Similarly the DEI hire in the Secret Service who went bezerk was hired on a gender issue, not a racial issue.

That said, there are quite a few jobs like airline pilots, air traffic controllers, doctors, etc. where the most qualified person needs so be hired in order to maximize public safety, not someone who checks the most "diversity" boxes.

Americans believe in equality of opportunity, and it is the Marxists who believe in equality of result.

Since these womens groups are suing the Biden regime over its dictatorial act of trying to rewrite by executive fiat a law passed by Congress, local schools should volunteer to become plaintiffs in these cases. Otherwise, local schools should tell the Biden regime to stick its federal funds where the sun does not shine. Congress makes law not the Dictator Biden.

Not only has Florida become the first state to tell the lawless Biden regime that they will not comply, but Franciscan University has become the first university to do so. www.breitbart.com

The federal commission on election practices chaired by President Jimmy Carter after the Bush-Gore dust up, reported that mail-in ballots were the ones most prone to vote fraud and recommended tight restrictions on that voting method. Carter's party, however, seems to like voting methods more open to fraud, and are pushing more and more of it.

Poor infrastructure management in one country does not justify its citizens invading a neighboring country. We need a president who will build the wall and defend our borders from invaders not a president who breaks our own immigration laws in a way that benefits the criminal human smuggling cartels in Mexico.

Bobbie may have just outted himself as an internet troll from China. The US eliminated smog from fossil fuels decades ago, but China has failed to do so to this day. So if Bobbie is "choking on fossil fuel emissions" he must be sitting in a troll factory in China.

Bobbie is also clearly economicly illiterate as he does not seem to understand the economic implications of the globalist climate policies.

You are one keyboard jockey who has no credibility as you would not know a fact or the truth if they jumped up and bit you on the ass, Bobbie. You make up numbers that are not even close to even the bent CDC numbers.

And that mindless gibberish in your second line you so often post should probably bring you to the attention of the "red flag law" folks.

You pulled those numbers out of the air, Bobbie. Even the fudged CDC numbers do not say that, and have FLorida much lower than third.

The CDC always refused to separate those who died "from Covid" from those who died "with Covid". Hospitals in the US were paid extra if a patient was listed as having died with Covid, so it incentivized hospitals to fudge the numbers. There were way too many cases where Covid had absolutely nothing to do with a death, but it was listed as "with Covid" because the patient tested positive. One widely reported example was a man who died of a motorcycle accident in Florida who was listed as dying "with Covid" because his body tested positive. Then there were a number of deaths by gunshot in a western state listed as dying "with Covid". A conservative pundit pointed out "Not only does Covid seem to be armed but it appears to be a pretty good shot. Who knew?"

The medical statistical agency in Italy finally had enough of the fake 'with Covid" stats and took the initiative without asking their government to unilaterally revise their stats to only include those dying "from Covid". Their overall numbers dropped by about 90%. It is unfortunate that our CDC did not have the integrity to do the same.

WE need to remember in November that AG Josh Stein running for the Democrats to replace Cooper was also a "Covid Nazi" who supported these police state tactics by Cooper. Places like Florida, Sweden, and South Dakota that kept businesses open had a better Covid record than the authoritarian "lockdown" states and countries. The lockdown crowd like Cooper and Stein, was blowing smoke with science fiction, not real science.

It is appalling that Greg Murphy voted for this awful provision, not just the overall bad bill, but for the specific amendment that authorizes these KGB-like powers. Shame on him.

I guess Bigot Bob is just stuck on stupid. If the real historical facts do not fit with his narrative, he just makes up his own. Free blacks had control of their own lives and many of them joined the Confederate army and navy, like Moses Dallas, a black Confederate naval officer on the ironclad CSS Savannah, who was instrumental in planning and helped lead one of the most daring exploits of the war, the capture of the Union warship USS Waterwitch while it was on blockade duty off Savannah in a surprise nighttime attack boarding from small boats. Dallas, a free black man had worked as a harbor pilot for the port of Savannah before joining the navy.

Bobbie might be surprised to learn that in 1860, there were more free blacks in the South than there were in the North - 261,000 in the South compared to 226,000 in the North.
human.libretexts.org(Lumen)/07%3A_The_Westward_Expa nsion_of_Slavery/7.05%3A_The_Free_Black_Po pulation

When I was growing up, the KKK was regarded as a bunch of meatheads that nobody had any respect for. If they put out anything on history, they must have copied it from somebody else.

It is simple enough to learn the truth about free blacks in the antebellum South. Go find a library that has copies of the US census of 1860, 1850, 1840, and earlier and you will find the numbers of whites, free blacks, and slaves per county. You just reinforce the opinion that you are a blowhard moron when you keep posting inaccurate nonsense

Republicans have been pretty darn consistent in suppotting election integrity whether it is limiting the fraud-rone mail-in voting, requiring photo voter ID, making sure voter lists are accurate, guaranteeing access to poll observers from all parties, etc.

Former Democrat President Jimmy Carter laid out what needed to be done to stop election fraud, but today's Democrats are instead promoting all the things Carter said made vote fraud easier. Carter chaired a national commission on improving voting procedures in the wake of the Bush-Gore clash. President Carter particularly singled out mail-in voting as the biggest source of election fraud in our system, and urged that mail-in voting be limited for that reason. Today's Democrats are going the other direction, trying to use this fraud-prone method as much as possible in our elections. The Democrat we should listen to on voting matters in Jimmy Carter, not shyster Marc Elias.

Then there is photo voter ID, which is an international best practice to promote honest elections, that is used nationally in every industrialized country except the US and in many non-industrialized ones as well. The Democrats file lawsuits here in America to try to block it, because, again, they do not want honest elections.

Wow, Bigot Bob's War on History goes beyond his cancel culture against historic monuments. Now he wants to erase the memory of what actually happened in our country's history if it does not fit his extreme left tunnel vision. And, again, Bigot Bob would not know a fact if one jumped up and vit him in the ass. It is not about facts with BObbie, only avout the ideological narrative.

Buying influence at elections boards in large cities in swing states around the country was one of the keys to the left corrupting the 2020 election. The "lawfare" of Democrat shyster Marc Elias was the other big key. If there were any true justice, those involved in both of these operations should be investigated for criminal prosecution.

Stopping the flow of this corrupt money is critical to the honesty of the 2024 election.

Speaker Johnson exposed his inner Paul Ryan on this issue, moving left to get Democrat votes instead of standing up for liberty to get conservative Republican votes. He is following the same path as that turncoat McCarthy.

Murphy voted to take away the name of Fort Bragg and other military bases named for Confederate generals. He has piled on to cancel culture against Southern heritage. After his first vote on that position, his congressdional district GOP committee voted unanimously to urge him not to do it again, but not long after, another such vote came up and Murphy ignored his local party committee to again vote for cancel culture against the South. Greg Murphy is what during Reconstruction would have been called a scalawag.

Voters should have figured that out in the primary, since in the legislature he was nicknamed "Medicaid Murphy" for his liberal views.

The other option to Murphy in November is a Libertarian but I do not know much about him. If the Constitution Party is successful in getting back on the ballot, that might give another option.

The other thing about big lithium batteries is that they spontaneously combust, burn very hot, are hard to extinguish, and give off toxic fumes. Not only do electric cars spontaneously combust, but so do electric buses (London and Paris have already had several go up in flames) and utility scale electric storage batteries (Wouth Korea, Belgium, Australia, and California have already had that happen). Owners of electric cars have had them carch fire while driving down the road or parked in their garage. In two cases aleady, ships carrying electric cars as part of their cargo have had the brand new cars combust at sea, burning up the ship. These things are dangerous and should be banned.

During the CLimategate email scandal, it was revealed that the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in the UK had obtained custody of the UK's historical temperature records and that those numbers had been "adjusted" as part of their studies. University officials later acknowledged that they did not know if original unadjusted copies of those historical records even still existed. This is just one more example of the manipulation of data for ideological purpuses that is ongoing with the climate alarmists.
Commented: Thursday, April 11th, 2024 @ 10:00 am By: John Steed
Given their manipulation of data revealed in the Climategate email dump, this is not at all surprising. The climate alarmists will fudge whatever they have to in order to push their narrative and agenda. "Hide the decline" as they said in those Climategate emails.

Another good example is looking at where their significant increases in temperature come from, and those are the weather stations that in years past were in rural areas that have now bcome urbanized. The increased temperatures come from the change in surroundings, not "climate change".

One symbol of climate alarmist manipulation was Michael Mann's hockety stick chart, which was a major exhibit in one of the UN reports but disappeared thereafter. What happened was that a Canadian mining engineer wondered about Mann's chart and asked for the supporting data, which Mann refused to give him (a suspicious move in science itself). The mining engineer then tried to go through other sources at the university where Mann taught to obtain the supporting data. Finally a graduate student who had worked on the project gave him the website address with all the raw data. The mining engineer was then able to see that Mann had cherry picked data to come up with a predetermined conclusion and blew the whistle on it.

Mann has been tied to at least one other major fabrication, a study showing rising temperatures in Anarctica. Mann's study was based on temperature averages, but on that one the raw data was readily available, and it blew up Mann's theory. All but one of the reporting stations had maintained a steady temperature, and what threw the average off was a single reporting station, and that changed dramatically between two years. It turned out that the siting of that reporting station had been moved at the time the readings changed dramatically. The old location of that station had consistently had cooler readings and the new location, which kept the same name, consistently higher readings. So Mann's whole study was garbagte.

Mann once taught in Virginia, and the state Attorney General had once opened an investigation on him for obtaining grant money based on bogus studies. Thereafter, Mann moved to another state.

Your posting the same thing three times does not make it true, Bobbie. Your posts on this site are all from a far left perspective - transgender ideology, cancel culture, climate alarmism, DEI, open borders, Trump Derangement Syndrome, Hamas apologist, anti-free speech, etc. If you indeed have ANY conservative opinions, you have not shown them in your posts.

I'll say it again, Little Bobbie. Your would not recognize a fact if one jumped up and bit you on the ass. With your myopic tunnel vision, you equate "facts" and "truth" with only those things that correspond to your far left narrative and your far left agenda. You are the one who posts far left opinion in response to real facts. You may be entitled to your own opinion, but NOT to your own "facts".

Commenters confront you with facts all the time, Little Bobbie, and you respond with leftwing ideological rhetoric or personal insults. One of the posts below is a good example, where you responded to a recitation of Earth's climate history with a personal attack. Climategate has already shown that your side will distort and manipulate the facts to support your agenda, but you don't even bother to try to do that.

You would not recognize a fact, Little Bobbie, if one jumped up and bit you in the ass. All you do is preach the narrative of the far left. When you openly wish for the death of someone you disagree with and call them a "loon" that is nothing but a personal attack. Bugger off.
