In their infinite wisdom, the United States of America Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the States (our Republic is a collection of States) were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? Here are some statistics about the presidential election of 2016. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57. Let that sink in! There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16. In the 5 counties that encompass New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens), Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. Clinton won 4 of these counties with Trump winning only one, Richmond. Therefore, these 5 counties alone more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election. Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) do not and should not speak for the rest of our country! Remember, our country is a collection of States in which people live. This country is NOT a direct democracy, it is collection of States, a Representative democracy.
And….. it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems arise.
There is no way the Electoral College would be abolished. That would take a Constitutional amendment. To amend the Constitution of the United States requires a vote of 2/3rds of both the US Senate and House of Representatives or 2/3rds vote of a National Constitutional Convention called by Congress at the request of the legislatures of at least 2/3rds of the states. Then to become an operative part of the Constitution, an amendment, whether proposed by Congress or a national constitutional convention, must be ratified by either the legislatures of 3/4ths of the states or state ratifying conventions in 3/4ths of the states. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
There is no way less populated states are going to cede political power to the more populated states. The Founders saw to that. Those calling for abolishment of the Electoral College are barking at the moon…. much like many or most proposals by Democrats.

AJ Barr:
In case you have not noticed, there are many folks in Fly-Over Country that are mad as Hell. We don’t see a damned thing coming out of the Department of Justice going all the way back to the Hillary Clinton erasing 30K+ emails. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Now we have statements from you that you don’t see massive fraud in the election on November 3rd. What country do you live in or are you one of the so-called “Deep State” and maybe on the take. Seems a possibility.
I have included with this letter a few 4×6 cards. One is for you to keep. Two others are for Christopher Wray and John Durham. I would have sent one for Gena Haskell, but I don’t think she will be needing one. I sent one extra for someone you think might deserve one. They fit.
Donald Trump won the election for President by huge numbers. Over 73,000,000 voted for him. The fight is on. The Kraken will win.
Criminally Fraudulent Election
The United States of American election of November 2020 will be prove to be the most fraudulent in the history of the country; maybe in the history of the world. Criminals have almost gotten away with it. The only reason they were caught was that the turn out and response in support of President Donald J Trump for a second term in office was gigantic; over 73,000,000 in favor at the ballot box.
The criminals were not counting on this response. Their vote counting Dimension machines and the network that controlled them was not prepared to handle such a difference between the vote for Trump and the vote for Biden. It was prepared for a closer vote count that could be manipulated with machine vote switching and fraudulent mail in ballots without people having suspicion of vote fraud. They appear to have gotten away with this in many elections of the past including the 2016 election which resulted in the Republican losing the majority in the House of Representatives. But no more.
The results were coming in. The vote was overwhelming for President Trump. Over 10 million people voted for Trump in 2020 than did in 2016 against Crooked Hillary Clinton. The criminal counting system went on tilt. The cheat was not enough to assure Joe Biden the vote.
What happened. The counting of ballots in about seven swing states stopped in the middle of the night. At 4:00 AM some 65,000 ballots were “found” in Wisconsin; all for Biden. At 4:00 AM in Michigan, the number approached 140,000 for Biden. In Arizona earlier, poll workers told voters to use Sharpies to mark their ballots for Trump which voided the ballot.
In Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and maybe more; the vote FAIRY arrived over night. The count began again in the middle of the night when Republican watchers were either sent home or were put in positions not being able to see the details on a ballot. The criminal cheating continued.
The United States Constitution gives the power to choose delegates to the Electoral College directly to the legislatures of each state. Every one of the states considered ‘swing’ states have Republican legislatures. The criminal cheating by the Democrats is so blatant, the legislatures must act. For those who choose to ignor what has happened and turn a blind eye to the fraud, they become complicit to voter fraud which is a federal criminal offense. Every damned one of the legislators who fail to do their duty should be arrested and charged with a crime. The same is true for the Governors and Secretaries of State who aid and abet criminal fraud in voting.
The end is yet to come. There are many legal actions under way that will likely wind up at the United States Supreme Court. The deadline is December 14 when the Electoral College must meet to vote for the next President of the United States of American.
It has been reported that US Special Forces have seized the computer hosts in Germany at a Central Intelligence Agency site that were involved in vote manipulation. It has been reported that Gena Haskell, CIA Director, was there at the time on the attack. It has been reported that 5 of the Special Forces team were killed when the body guard for Haskell opened fire on them. It has been reported that Haskell was wounded. If all of this is true, Haskell, as a traitor, should never again see the light of day. Neither should any of the CIA agents involved. The deep state is deep. The swamp is treacherous.
And where has been William Barr, Attorney General, and Christopher Wray, FBI Director? Are they criminals as well? Time will tell.
Return
I cannot believe how long it has been since really attending to this site. It looks like I posted one post all of 2020 so far. I need to get active again. The United States of America is at a tipping point. We will save the Republic or lose it depending upon the final outcome for the Presidency……. Trump or Biden. It is that serious.
The Enemy Among US
Ever wonder why protests and demonstrations get started almost immediately after some announcement by the Trump administration? How anti-gun marches get set up so quickly after a school shooting? Huge marches on Washington DC are organized so quickly? The orders come directly from their headquarters in DC. Read this article attributed to Charles Krauthammer….
The Enemy is Among US!!
by Charles Krauthammer, October 11, 2017. An Article from the New York Post:
I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have one of our former presidents set up a group called “Organizing for Action” (OFA).
OFA is 30,000+ strong and working to disrupt everything that our current president’s administration is trying to do. This organization goes against our Democracy, and it is an operation that will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If it is allowed to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws?
If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to find out in America!
Our ex-president [Barack Hussein Obama] said he was going to stay involved through community organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his administration’s top dogs over to Organizing for Action.
OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of the resistance to the Trump Administration that we are seeing across America, and politically active courts are providing the leverage for this revolution.
OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for “progressive” change … Its issues are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate change, and of course, immigration reform.
OFA members were propped up by th ex-president’s message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building block of everything great we have accomplished. Organizers around the country are fighting for change in their communities and OFA is one of the groups on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2017 and beyond.”
OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-president’s re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it is the shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the Constitutional Republic we know as AMERICA.
Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says, “The OFA will fight President Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.” Sperry writes that, “The ex-president is setting up a shadow government to sabotage the Trump administration through a network of non-profits led by OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250 offices nationwide.
The OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate that the OFA has 32,525 (and growing) volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his ‘wife’ will oversee the operation from their home/office in Washington DC.
Think about how this works. For example: Trump issues an immigration executive order; the leftist media springs to action in support of these activities; the twitter sphere lights up with social media; and violence follows. All of this happens from the ex-president’s signal that he is heartened by the protests.
If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.
If this does not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know. So, do your part… You have read it, so at least pass this on so others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we are so compliant. We are becoming a “PERFECT TARGET” for our enemy!
Democrats Betray Our Nation
The top national headline in the Tuesday, December 17th, issue of the Kokomo Tribune said, “Dems: Trump betrayed nation” when the only betrayal of our nation has been that of the Democrats.
It has been angering and disgusting to watch what the leaders of the Democrat party in the House of Representatives have done. They have repeatedly lied to the people of our nation. They have been trying to come up with some grounds…. any grounds…. to seek impeachment of President Trump since before he was sworn into office in January 2017. Russian collusion did not work. That attempt went on for years. Nothing else worked until they seized on Ukraine.
Now the alleged grounds are withholding military aid from Ukraine in turn for an investigation into the Bidens, both Joe and Hunter. It is damned clear the Bidens are as guilty as sin of corruption. The President has every right to ask the new President of Ukraine to take a look at what happened around the 2016 USA election as it involved people in the Ukraine. And he has every right….. and even duty….. to ask for investigation of the Bidens when good ole Joe was Vice President and Hunter was on the take. And even if President Trump wanted to withhold military aid to get an investigation — which he did not — that would have been in the best interest of the United States. I remind you, too, that President Obama did NOT provide any meaningful military aid to Ukraine as it defended itself against the Russians. President Trump did.
Both President Trump and President Zelensky, the new President of Ukraine, have repeatedly said there was no pressure for any investigation of anything. Too, we learned later that Zelensky knew nothing about any military aid which was forthcoming, let alone if it was being withheld which, I repeat, it was not. The tank busting Javelin missiles came.
So, the impeachment of President Trump for anything is a total basket of bird droppings. The Democrats have dug a hole for themselves. The Trump train gets longer and stronger with every passing day. All one has to do is look at the crowds that show up at Trump rallies. These are folks from all around the country. They are the deplorable, smelly Walmart shoppers. They no longer will be quiet or fooled by the Democrat establishment corrupt politicians. They cannot wait for the election in November 2020. Again, they will come from the hills, valleys, farms, small towns and large to elect President Donald Trump for four more years.
President Donald Trump deserves exoneration, not just acquittal in the US Senate. He is innocent of any wrong doing let alone any that rise to the level of treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors. The do-nothing Democrats are on the road to destroying their own political party. If so, good riddance. The worst are Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. Their sun is rapidly setting.
Lynn “Rudy” Rudolph
In just a few short weeks, voters will have the opportunity to elect to Kokomo’s Common Council one of Kokomo’s finest. His name is Lynn Rudolph from the 2nd District.
I have known “Rudy” for decades. His background and reputation precede him. Rudy served many years on Kokomo’s police force. He led a special task force dealing with crime and drug enforcement. This task force, which benefited not only Kokomo and Howard County but surrounding counties as well, was recognized in law enforcement as one of the best. Rudy led by example. He always made it a goal to see that he and his fellow officers had the best training and education available. In short, they were very effective.
One year, Lynn Rudolph was recognized nationally as one of the top ten “Policemen of the Year”. He well deserved this honor and recognition.
I know all of this because I was an executive at the Kokomo Tribune at the time. I served on the Mayor’s Drug Abuse Task Force along with others of the community. We held Lynn Rudolph and his task force in highest regard.
Now we are at a time when we are hearing about drugs and crime in the news about every day. Kokomo is not exempt. We need leaders with experience and an outstanding track record. None could be better that Rudy’s. He would bring common sense, effectiveness, and results to a variety of issues as a part of the Kokomo Common Council. Rudy’s life is one of service to the community. We could do no better than have him as a member of our Common Council. We need to elect Lynn Rudolph.

New Diversity in Congress
[From the Internet]
Several months ago, the 116th Congress was sworn in, and all day long, the media was fawning over the “remarkable diversity” of the new Democrat members. It was a day of “firsts,” we were told repeatedly. While the new Democrat majority offers members of note, we want to highlight a few “firsts” who are examples of the “diversity” that was sworn in then.
Here are our Top Most “Diverse” house Freshmen:
1. Ilhan Omar — The first person who married her brother to commit immigration fraud ever to be elected to Congress. Omar is also the first open supporter of female genital mutilation to ever be elected to Congress. Such amazing diversity! And this does not mention her problems with fraudulent tax filings.
2. Rashida Tlaib — One of the first Muslim Brotherhood-linked and anti-Semitic candidates to be elected to Congress. She also claims to be a Palestinian — not American. Wonders never cease. Also, she has a potty mouth using the term “Mother F—er” for the President.
3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — Where do we even begin? Let’s just say she is the first person elected to Congress who lied about being from the Bronx, and thus, made up her life story. She’s also an overt Marxist, in case you forgot.
4. Abigail Spanberger — The first substitute teacher from an Islamist school (nicknamed “Terror High”) ever to be elected to Congress.
5. Donna Shalala — Rep. Shalala was HHS Secretary from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton and worked from 2015 to 2017 at the Clinton Foundation, and in 2016 she admitted in an interview that some significant Clinton Foundation donors received “courtesy appointments” in the Clinton State Department. To top it off, apparently she can’t let go of politics. At 78, she’s the oldest female House Freshman in history.
6. Krysten Sinema — The first bi-sexual atheist to be sworn into Congress. She refused to take the oath of office on the Holy Bible.
These are just a few examples of the “firsts” that the media has been celebrating. Those who apparently show an open disdain and animosity for America as we’ve know it for over 200 years. And they all represent the Democrat Party. Kind of makes you proud to be an American, doesn’t it? All of this “diversity”!
Angry
Are you angry yet? If you are not, you should be. The Democrats in Congress are moving toward crossing the line. They have announced they are proceeding with a formal impeachment inquiry as a step to impeachment….. and over what?
Democrats have been obsessed with taking down President Donald Trump ever since he won the election for the Presidency in 2016. Hillary Clinton, a known law breaker, lost but has never been held accountable for her illegal actions. One was the deleting of over 30,000 emails after she had been subpoenaed by Congress. That was the least of the illegal acts she undertook along with then President Barack “Berry” Obama, the Democratic National Committee, and numerous others in the deep state. None have been held to account to date.
Ever since the Democrats gained the majority in the House of Representatives in 2018, the Congress has been deadlocked over anything of substance. Representatives Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff have continued to pursue witch hunts even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent tens of millions trying to find something criminal around Donald Trump. He found nothing, much to the chagrin of Democrats.
Now we know the Mueller probe was run by Andrew Weissmann, the most dishonest and despicable attorney anywhere. He was responsible for the unjust demise of one of the most prestigious national accounting firms, Arthur Anderson Company, that put thousands of people out of work. The conviction of the Anderson Company was overturned by the Supreme Court by a vote of 9-0; but that was too late. Weissmann is well known for prosecutorial misconduct.
The event that triggered the latest cries for impeachment of President Trump was a phone call between Trump and the president of the Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, who was recently elected by the people of Ukraine. The claim by a so-called whistle blower (who does not qualify as a “whistle blower” under the law), who knows nothing firsthand about any call, is that President Trump was doing or saying something illegal. The fact is it is nobody’s business what the content of the call was. The President should and needs to be able to talk privately to anyone he wants about anything he wants. Nobody ever questioned Barack Obama about his calls or promise to be “more flexible after the election” to Russia. It is absolutely not the job of the intelligence community to monitor the President. That would be illegal in itself.
But, let’s assume that one subject of the call was ex-Vice President Joe Biden. Biden has openly admitted he coerced Ukrainian officials with the threat of withholding over a billion dollars in aid into firing a prosecutor who was on the trail of Biden’s son for corruption. Biden and son, Hunter, then went on to China for more bribes. In short, Joe Biden and his son are crooked as a dog’s hind leg.
We know, too, that Ukraine under different leadership did meddle in the 2016 US Presidential election. With a new Ukrainian President, our President Trump had every right and even duty to try to determine the extent of the corruption involving Biden and the extent of Ukraine meddling in our election.
Now, a very dangerous precedent has been set with the release of the transcript of President Trump’s phone call as he defends himself and the Presidency against rabid Democrats. Will any world leader now be comfortable talking in confidence with a US President? Oh, I know, this was partially offset by President Trump getting consent from President Zelensky before releasing the content of the call.
Democrats are damaging our country and playing with more fire than they know. Loyal, staunch Trump supporters will only put up with so much. Never say I didn’t tell you so.
Butt Edge Edge
[Open letter to Mayor Pete Buttigieg]
Mayor Buttigieg:
If all that is being told about you is true – or even a portion of it – I find you to be a total embarrassment to the citizens of Indiana. I have no idea how those of South Bend ever elected you to be Mayor. Now you want them and millions of others to elect you as President of the United States. This is one sick joke.
You don’t seem to be able to run South Bend. The reported crime rate in South Bend is 60 per one thousand residents – one of the highest crime rates in America. Chicago is reported as 44 per one thousand residents. South Bend gets the prize. And I understand the African-American former police chief is suing the city. You don’t seem to be able to get along with the black community at all – sit at a table and take notes.
Here are a few other “facts” about you that I find offensive, if true:
- You are the son of a communist father and mother; like parents, like son or call it socialism
- You favor the “Green New Deal”
- You want to abolish the Electoral College
- You favor packing the Supreme Court
- You want to repeal the Trump tax cuts
- You favor sanctuary cities and states
- You favor quick paths to citizenship for DACA designees & illegal aliens
- You favor late term abortions
- You favor Draconian 2nd Amendment restrictions
South Bend was ranked as one of the worst places to live in the country in 2018. Nice work.
But I must say that the one that got me the most was your comments about late term abortion. You attempted to use the Bible as justification saying something about life begins with the first breath after being born. And you claim to be a devout Episcopalian. That is total BS.
I am from a family of Episcopalians. My grandmother was an immigrant from England. I, too, am an Episcopalian. You really should be shunned by the church and driven out. The Episcopal Church talks about a three-legged stool: the Bible, Tradition, and Reason. You have attempted to bastardize teachings of your claimed church. Shame on you.
In short, you should pack it up and return to South Bend with your tail between your legs; back to your husband. And stay there.
