Dear Ms. Cheney:
As a lifelong Republican now 83 years old, I am delighted to be able to say to you, “Bye-Bye”.
You, your father, George Bush I & II were really traitors to our country. Oh, I have to add John McCain.
I hope you have a pleasant retirement in Wyoming where they have no use for you. The results of the primary should make that crystal clear.
Sincerely,
Kent H Blacklidge

Secretary Sullivan:
I write concerning the election to be held this November. Although Indiana is a strongly Republican state, I am convinced that significant fraud occurred in the 2020 election. It does not appear in Indiana that fraud was to the level results were affected, but I have not looked at all the down ballot races. My concern is that I think Indiana will continue to use electronic machines in the coming election that are vulnerable to fraud.
I believe it to be in the best interest of honest elections to take lessons from the past. Indiana did not have extended periods of early voting. It allowed absentee voting in real need cases. It required voters to vote in their home precinct. It required actual written signatures on poll books. It required voter identification. And the results were tabulated at the precinct level; then forwarded to central county offices.
The reason I know this is I was in management of The Kokomo Tribune for over 20 years. When Election Day came, the newsroom of the newspaper became “Election Central”. Candidates from both parties would gather in the newsroom to await results. Representatives of other media like local radio stations were set up in the newsroom. At the precinct level, two copies of results were generated. One copy was brought by courier to the newspaper office and the other taken to the Clerk’s office for totaling.
There were NO electronic machines used. The voting was either done on paper ballots or with mechanical machines. There was no chance fraud could be introduced. The elections were honest.
Fraud came with electronic machines. Signatures on little electronic signature pads are a joke. The transmission of results over the Internet is ripe for fraud. And even allowing voters to vote anywhere over even weeks is ripe for fraud. And for sure, mail in ballots are the worst.
I realize the General Assembly took some action to tighten elections, but until we return to paper ballots, voter id, home precinct voting, election one day voting except in genuine need cases for absentee ballots, signature verification, and precinct tally of votes; I believe we are asking for continuing fraud. It must stop.
The problem is nationwide.
Thanks for listening.
Sincerely,
Kent H Blacklidge Ph.D.
What could the Biden administration do now to anger MAGA/America First folks? Let’s see… while ole Joe and family are vacationing in South Carolina and FBI Director Christopher Wray is vacationing in the New York Adirondack mountains, have Biden et.al. send 30 armed FBI agents to former President Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home to raid it! Oh, and they better do that when Trump and his family are away. Good idea! Then have Attorney General Merrick Garland at first deny he knew anything about it. That ought to stir things up. It did.
And the FBI agent to direct this raid should be the same agent that fabricated the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer in Michigan. That didn’t go so well. Two of the four charged were acquitted by one jury and the other two had a hung jury. The Biden government has not given up on the latter two. They will be tried again and maybe again and again.
But before any raid of Mar-A-Lago was possible, the FBI had to get permission from a judge. They found one. One who has a blatant record of Trump hatred and one who helped Jeffrey Epstein folks, US Magistrate Bruce Reinhart.
So, in the dark early morning hours some 30 heavily armed FBI agents crashed into the Trump Florida home. The broke the lock on the room where sensitive and valuable documents were kept under lock and key as directed by the Presidential archive folks. They broke into the personal safe of Donald Trump only to find nothing.
They were not done. They riffled through Melania Trump’s closet clothes and through her personal dresser including her underwear drawer hoping to find secret “classified” documents.
In the end, the FBI troopers took multiple boxes of who knows what from the property. This apparently included Executive privilege documents and documents involving attorney/client privilege. The seizure of both being illegal. The claim is the FBI wanted all sorts of classified and secret documents. The big problem for the FBI and ole Joe is that Trump took from the White House only documents there when he was President and that he had already declassified. As President, he had the absolute authority to classify or declassify any or all documents.
So, we will see how this plays out. For sure AJ Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray need to hit the pavement. They and all who were involved in this raid have violated their oath of office and the Constitution itself. This raid was unprecedented in U.S. history. They all must go…. The sooner, the better.
