The problem with American voting systems, is that they are inherently insecure. Rather than have security baked or integrated in, security is bolted on, and often times the bolting on of security, is done using an honor system.

The latter is a contradiction in terms. Why would you apply security to a system on an honor basis? Either you trust everyone is honest, and not require security, or you look at security in virtually all banking and information systems throughout society, and conclude that our voting systems require security as well. Also, in as much as non-integrated / bolted on security is laughable in financial and information systems, bolted on security in voting systems (such as signature verification, or the requirement of state issued identification) which can be waved away by a manager, supervisor, or poll worker on a whim, should also be considered laughable.

American voting systems need to be redesigned, where it is impossible to cast a vote in an insecure way. This article describes such a system, which should help many Americans regain trust in elections.

Progressivism isn’t progressive. It is a con by the Left, to have society destroy itself. From the pursuit of ‘renewable energy’, which is a thoroughly, non-workable fantasy, meant to coax humanity away from fossil fuels (without which much of mankind will perish); to the coaxing of billions of people to take toxic gene therapy medications, the Left claim were vaccines. (The above never made sense on many levels, and is now likely leading to unprecedented levels of excess mortality and disability, in all the countries that broadly consumed them.) The Left are also trying to destroy American and Western societies, by destroying gender roles, and even the notion of gender itself. Our society would collapse if the Left got their way, and Americans and other westerners, must be vigilant to protect natural societal structures, that have worked for humanity since the dawn of civilization.

The Left have contended for a long time, that Christians’ objections to LGBT behavior, are forms of hate and discrimination. To many, the Left’s claim seems to have merit. However, when you look closely at the consequences of people adopting the LGBT lifestyle, you become appalled at the highly elevated risks of physical and psychological disease adopters face. You then realize that Christians’ objections to LGBT behavior are objectively and morally sound. You also realize, that the Left have been engaging in an effort to whitewash behaviors regarded by civilizations (for millennia) as taboo, for sinister reasons. In my opinion, efforts to promote LGBT behaviors – particularly to our children – is nothing short of an attempt to destroy American and western civilizations from within, through moral degradation, and the widespread promulgation of psychological and physical disease.

When the Left try to destroy aspects of American society, they always cloak their malevolence in virtuous sounding names. This causes people to be largely accepting of what they are doing. The Left’s Affirmative Action and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) agenda, is among the Left’s latest efforts to destroy America from within. Affirmative Action and DEI destroy meritocracy, which threatens the competence of American workers, and our institutions.

After the 2020 U.S. general election, President Trump’s legal team presented in front of several swing state legislatures, the most evidence ever presented on election fraud. The evidence included hundreds of affidavits from technical experts, senior election officials, as well as poll workers and voters, alleging significant voting irregularities. There were also lots of statistical evidence, that bore out President Trump’s claim of election fraud. Courts in swing states refused to hear this evidence on technical grounds. The universal refusal to listen to evidence of election fraud in swing states, pointed to, in my opinion, the high likelihood of the corruption on the part of state courts, as well as short sightedness on the part of federal courts. Courts are supposed to be umpires of elections that underpin our democracy. If citizens see that the courts do not take election integrity issues seriously, they will turn to undemocratic means to resolve the matter of who their representatives should be.

How can you get away with crimes against children and make yourself look like one of the good guys? Just frame what you are doing as good, using language, PR, and all the tools of persuasion that are at your disposal. That is what transgenderism is about: an assault on America’s children that is obfuscated using language and psychological manipulation.

Larry Elder said in this video, said that the civil rights movement was (in some respects) a mistake. The civil rights movement was never a mistake: it was a scam! It was one of the clearest examples of the Modus Operandi of the Left: misdirect everyone into thinking that you are doing something noble, and put your alleged good deed forever in the spotlight (with the help of your media proxies and others). As the above go on, siphon some of the tax payer money that underwrites the program, into your donors' and your own pockets, and create a state of dependency, where the beneficiaries of the government program depend on you for their welfare, and keep voting for you, to ensure that the program continues. Do people think that the Left seriously do not realize that what is holding back much of the Black community, is fatherlessness? That is why they have never passed policies that remedy the situation. They are milking the misery of Black Americans for political gain: having an underclass that can never rise up because of the problem of fatherlessness, while contending their lack of progress, has always been due to systemic racism. It is the perfect scam!

Government programs by Democrats aren't primarily to help people out: they are there primarily to breed government dependency by the US population, and to give Democrat politicians wealth and power. The Democrats copied what charities used to do a great deal, and used that as a pretext to grow the government.

Those who say that a government program can never be eliminated are wrong. All you have to do is have the government contract out the work to private companies, or have the government form an ecosystem of private actors, who compete to carry out the function of the government program. For example, replace our current public education system with competing private learning institutions, and let government financial support follow the kids, rather than the schools. Sell off VA properties, and turn the VA into an insurance company for veterans. You will decrease the size of government, improve services for veterans on a permanent basis, because you will increase competition among the services veterans use, and you will save money. Social Security, Medicare, etc. can all be privatized to allow people to continue enjoying the benefits of these government programs, while making these social programs more efficient, and less prone to insolvency.

The Democrat party is a phony party through and through with its government programs. Conservatives however do not have to embrace Democrat government expansionism in order to be popular with voters. Conservatives can shrink the size government, while maintaining government programs - in private forms.

Here are two contradicting studies. One cited by Kim Iverson, that comes from the American Heart Association News website, which is associated with the American Heart Association. The American Heart Association, is part of the American medical establishment, and is likely associated with the pro-vaccine medical cartel, spearheaded by big pharma and the federal health agencies. The other study comes from an independent source. The 1^st study is based on ‘a self-controlled case series study of people ages 13 years or older vaccinated for COVID-19 in England between December 1, 2020, and December 15, 2021, evaluated the association between vaccination and myocarditis, stratified by age and sex.’ The 2^nd study is based on autopsy data, which is more accurate than the above, because doctors get to see the actual progression of heart disease in individuals, vs. determining its presence through symptoms and tests. The following is an excerpt about the conclusion from the 2^nd study:

The direct relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and myocarditis remains tenuous at best. Recent ecological, controlled retrospective cohort and autopsy data do not support an association. The overall absence of support for a specific ‘SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis syndrome’ from focused autopsy studies of presumed myocarditis deaths is consistent with findings from general necropsy studies of COVID-19 deaths. These investigations have established SARS-CoV-2 infection leading to fatal COVID-19 is indeed, as the name implies, a respiratory illness. Wong et al., for example, described how, “No overt pathological findings attributable to SARS-CoV-2 infection could be recognised outside of the lung… [B]eyond the respiratory tract [SARS-CoV-2 infection] does not induce any major pathology… in fatal cases.

A systematic review of primarily spontaneously reported data from the U.K., USA and European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA), beginning with vaccine launch through mid-March 2022, found 0.22% (n=30) of 13,571 Covid vaccine-associated myocarditis or pericarditis events were fatal. These data are complemented by a much smaller, but growing autopsy literature. The limited necropsy data characterising COVID-19 vaccine-associated deceased persons with myocarditis and myopericarditis repeatedly affirm heart-related pathologies directly attributable to very recent vaccination. Such findings contrast with the lack of definitive epidemiologic or autopsy evidence for a unique SARS-CoV-2 infection myocarditis, as Caforio et al.”

The 1^st study concludes that you are more likely to suffer from myocarditis via a SARS-CoV-2 infection, than from SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, if you are over 40. The 2^nd study sees no link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and myocarditis, but a strong link between SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and myocarditis.

Given that autopsies are the most accurate way to determine causes of death, particularly from diseases, I put stock in the 2^nd study, over the 1^st.

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The above is the 1^st Amendment. It essentially says that the government shall not pass laws regarding the operations of religious institutions, and that it shall not interfere with the pursuit of religion by Americans. Regarding the 2^nd point, stated another way, the 1^st Amendment essentially says that those who pursue religion, must be able to do so freely, without any interference from the government.

Thomas Jefferson noted in a January 1, 1802, letter, addressed to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut, and published in a Massachusetts newspaper, that the above section of the 1^st Amendment establishes a wall or separation between Church and State. Courts have cited the above letter, to rule that a separation between Church and State exists in the constitution. However, many courts have not bothered to examine the nature of the wall or separation. All the restrictions regarding the separation of Church and State in the 1^st Amendment, are targeted at the state. NO RESTRICTIONS ARE TARGETED AT THE CHURCH. So the wall between Church and State is a one way restriction, which results in the state not being able to touch the Church, but the Church can pretty much do anything it wants (religious-wise) - and the state cannot do anything about it. This means if a kid, for example, wants to lead other kids in prayer in the halls of his school briefly, there is nothing the school can do about it, because the school is an agent of the state, and per the 1^st Amendment, it cannot interfere with the kids’ free exercise of religion. What about a school official leading a religious ceremony? Per the 1^st Amendment, if he is neither passing rules regarding the operations of religious institutions, nor interfering in the free exercise of the religion, he is not in violation of the 1^st Amendment. On the other hand, if the school, which is an agent of the state, tries to stop him, the school would be in violation of the 1^st Amendment, for interfering with his free exercise of religion.

So again, the 1^st Amendment puts restrictions on the state, but none on religion, and further prevents the state itself, from putting restrictions on religion. This is the nature of the wall or separation between Church and State. (See here for historical background information and events, as well as reasonings, that lead to the development of the 1^st Amendment.)

The following is in response to this video about the Left’s effort at grooming children.

I believe conservatives need to stop accepting the 'moral' standards of the Left. The Left have rebranded age-old licentiousness as LGBT ideology and lifestyles, and I believe conservatives need to spell out how these behaviors are harmful to individuals and society at large, and repudiate them.

Virtually all LGBT behaviors displace opportunities for procreation, and encourage indulgence in base passions or behaviors, at the expense of self-control. Morality is predicated on self-control: therefore if people, children in particular, are conditioned not to have self-control, but instead chase their base passions, this makes it next to impossible for them to lead moral lives. Without morality, society falls apart, because trust, honor, responsibility, etc. (which are all acts of morality predicated on self-control) become greatly diminished, or eliminated. So LGBT behaviors actually pose a very real threat to society, because they undercut procreation, as well as the moral fiber of society, which are necessary for society to exist.

Note in addition to above, the best standard of morality is based on Judeo-Christian values or natural law. An examination of the most successful civilizations over the course of millennia, show this to be true. LGBT behaviors are antithetical to the best standard of morality, which further discredits LGBT behaviors. Don’t believe me? Compare Rome at the time of LGBT Caligula (Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (31 August 12 – 24 January 41)) to America at its founding, with its Christian fathers like Thomas Jefferson. Which society was objectively more moral under these two sets of leaders?
