“Here’s the reason that Brian Kemp is so pissed off about the fact that Donald Trump called him out last night and here’s also the reason why everyone of his foot soldiers are pissed off as well:
In Georgia, there was three hand counts at the precinct level and each one of them differed so significantly that President Trump‘s election day totals were off by nearly 50% in some cases. The tabulation machines actually under counted votes both times.
The second machine count and the hand count audit werethousands of votes short when they try to re-create their purported results in Fulton county. As a result of this, there were two state election board cases opened SEB2021-181 and SEB2023-025 and those cases have proven that the audit include
Brian Kemp‘s office was well aware of these problems because they signed off on a letter sent to the state election board which prompted the opening of SEB 2021–1 81.
The final count showed 506,948 votes but the certified vote count showed 527, 925 and of that 527,925 17,852 votes were missing ballot images from tabulators that do not exist.
What has Brian Kemp done to ensure this doesn’t happen again in 2024?
That would be a lot of nothing.
Brad Raffensberger and his general council Charlene McGowan are still claiming all three counts matched.
Donald Trump “lost” the Georgia by less than 11,000 votes.
The state election board had an opportunity to continue the investigation into SEB2023–025, which has documented all the discrepancies and the results were sent to an outside “consultant” chosen by Fulton county.
The matter will be discussed at the next board meeting on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.
So four years after the 2020 election, Brian Kemp knows damn well that there was serious issues in 2020 otherwise he would’ve never opened up a state election board case.
By the way, after the fact that he knew all this, he still refused to step up and do something about the fact that Fannie Willis was investigating Donald Trump for nothing, considering there are serious questions about the legitimacy of the 2020 election in Georgia.
People can look up these Georgia election state board cases if they want to.
Even journalists can look them up. Imagine that.
So all of the idiots who are Republicans saying that Kemp is so great. Do us a favor and do some research and use your brain.”

By way of encouragement as we’re all slogging through another tough year, politically, the highlight was at the end.
Following the chronicling of a year filled with violence and the horror of political assassinations; the seemingly never-ending, brutal Vietnam War; street and political unrest; and other upheavals of all kinds making it seem the nation was coming apart at the seams — the narrative ended with the rare positive news of the successful flight of Apollo 8 — with the awe-inspiring visuals, when the famous “earth rising” photo was taken and the astronauts gave this message to earth as that horrible year of 1968 drew to a close (and there was not a dry eye among NASA personnel or the newscasters reporting it):
Bill Anders We are now approaching lunar sunrise, and for all the people back on Earth, the crew of Apollo 8 has a message that we would like to send to you.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Jim Lovell
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Frank Borman
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.
mumsee, indeed. And coming on the heels of what was a 3- or 4-hour special chronicling the very real horrors of 1968 (truly a very hard year for the U.S.), it just was so heartening. And it brought tears (and a smile) to me, too.
“In case you were wondering how we got the Kamala Crash:
This is the Biden-Harris Administration’s handpicked Economic Advisors Chair, Jared Bernstein, struggling to understand basic economics and the consequences of uncontrolled money printing
Painfully incompetent leaders.”
—–
Which is exactly what 81 million voters allegedly voted for.
“Multiple brokerages, including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, UPS, CenturyLink, and Interactive Brokers, are currently down and reporting errors amid market crashes.”
“BAD TIMING? Bidenomics architect, Gene Sperling, announced he is resigning as Biden’s top economic advisor today to become Kamala Harris top economic advisor. Is it weird that he’s leaving just as the economy implodes? Why would Kamala hire a failure?”
“The media is a gross failure [and] the courts have been politicized. These are the real threats to democracy. [Claiming] Trump…is a threat to democracy—that’s self-contradictory, they’re claiming democratic outcomes are threats to democracy.”
“European Vice President of the World Boxing Organization confirms Imane Khelif is MALE.
“The problem was not with the level of Khelif’s testosterone, because that can be adjusted nowadays, but with the result of the gender test, which clearly revealed that the Algerian boxer is biologically male.”
“Abortion is the last refuge of dirtbag men like Doug who sleep with their children’s nanny but don’t want to deal with any of the obvious consequences of that betrayal.”
——
“I remember when @KamalaHarris called to tell me about the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs. The first thing I thought about was my daughter. As a dad and as a husband, I’m going to do everything I can to speak out and help advance reproductive freedom.”
“So your first thought was that if your daughter was used by a man like you used her nanny, you’d want to do everything you could so that man would be able to likewise avoid accountability for what he’d done? FATHER OF THE YEAR, there, Doug.”
Except for maybe not listing one policy position, paying social media influencers, paying celebrities, paying gay onlyfans influencers to help convince people how popular you are, hiding from reporters, having your #MeToo husband caught cheating on his first wife, being too scared to debate Trump and watching people leave your campaign rally as soon as the half naked twerking came to an end.
This is going to sounds nuts, I know, but it is possible that Imane Khelif and her/his family truly believe him/her to be female. There was some speculation that Khelif could be intersex (or something like that – there are various conditions involving sex glands and whatnot), with the outside genitals appearing female, but male gonads hiding inside.
I have to admit that despite what I shared last night, I do wonder if that is the case, because Khelif does have a male appearance. (But as I said, some women do look mannish.) If so, he/she and her/his family probably don’t even realize it. (Algeria is not open to transgender ideology.)
And again, even that report, and others, still need verification, one way or the other.
“Disgraced Former Secret Service Director Cheatle and now-Director Rowe wanted to DESTROY the evidence coca*ne found in the Biden White House
They even REMOVED an agent from the case because he was defiant and insisted on following crime scene investigation protocol.

Sounds like Trump is getting ready to lose – complaining about 2020. He’s rehearsing his “greatest hits” from ’16 and ’20 in order to excite the crowds because he has nothing new. Nothing like complaining about the past to get masses going. But it seems like America doesn’t like re-runs. Its been 8 years – what TV show or reality show maintains interest that long? He needs something new but there’s nothing. Its a noticeable feature of his rallies that people leave early or just don’t show at all. He complained about empty seats in Atlanta blaming the university but in truth he’s getting old in the tooth. How long can people listen to a man-child repeat the same complaints.
Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia are in play. Pennsylvania is the only rust belt he has the numbers for. Obviously, something can stick to Harris but right now the panic is setting in.
Look into Scott Weiner — apparently he just wanted the rules regarding age of consent to be the same for LGBQT couples.
Why is the Congress on vacation in August; because the whole developed world is on holidays in August. The US gov’t can’t do much internationally if the rest of the world has put their phones on mute.
I have a few friends who make a living on the market – mostly through futures, puts, options and shorts. This morning two of them told me to watch the markets collapse – they blamed decisions made by the Japanese central bank. Apparently, early this morning in Japan a few decisions were made and those who watch the algorithms (my friends are on the spectrum) knew it would wreck the US and European markets. I’m sure they made a few thousand this morning as did anyone with the right algorithm. The markets will recover and there won’t be a recession – the algorithms are designed to right the ship. However, if it does spread to the consumer loan market, all bets are off.
Brokerages “crash” when the market crashes – it slows down market crash and allows things to calm down.
VDH claiming the Biden admin politicised the judiciary is amusing. It takes a certain amount of blindness and sheer intellectual fraud to make that claim. The Republican Senate did that way before Biden was president.
So funny to hear your take on Atlanta, how. The city is extremely liberal. The university is extremely liberal. I thought Trump and those Republicans who went and waited a long time to get into the rally were very brave to be in hostile territory that has a good bit of crime daily as many Democrat run cities do. You did not mention that factor.
I don’t know why the university did not let everyone in. That was a curiosity to me. Maybe a security threat that went unrevealed or it could have been for a political reason. I can’t speak into that.
I do know that I was streaming on Fox News and not long before Trump appeared, the most horrid and leud rap music came onto the streaming on Fox so most people would have turned it off rather than be subjected to that pornographic string of verbal abuse. Someone finally pulled the plug on that inappropriate music. I think the streaming program got hijacked by someone. That was a liberal stunt to make it look like no one wanted to see Trump. Politics is still a dirty business.
People need to leave Khelif alone. Its ironic to see people who were concerned about “trans” in sports outraged that a woman, who in the western world would be seen as trans elgible, competing in the gender she was born as.
She was born female but due to genetics she can be viewed as “male” in terms of testosterone levels. These levels rose as she went through puberty and now as an adult she is far more “masculine” than she was as a child. She is not the only female athlete in this situation – a Taiwanese boxer, South African and Indian middle distance runners are the most well known. These girls have a natural advantage in their chosen sport but so does any high level athlete. Michael Phelps is a freak of nature but no one questions his right to compete.
When the Hungarian VP of the WBO made his pronouncement, a Hungarian woman was scheduled to fight Khelif that day. A conflict of interest. The IBA banned Khelif when she beat a Russian fighter. The WBO is a professional organisation and has nothing to do with amateur boxing. Boxing is one of the few sports who make the IOC look like a clean organization.
UK riots were created by misinformation propagated on “X”.
The man who murdered the three girls was not a migrant Muslim refugee claimant. He was born in Cardiff and grew up in England. From his appearance and name, I would say his family were Ethiopian/Somalian which puts his religion in question as some Ethiopians are Christian. Meanwhile misinformation is fuelling riots.
It’ll be interesting to see how the British gov’t reacts as rules on free speech are tighter in England than in the US. You can’t claim free speech if you cause a riot.
One of the surprising 1968 clips last night on the CNN special centered on George Wallace’s choice of Curtis LaMay as VP. The staff had cautioned LaMay, a retired general, not to ever start talking about advanced weaponry during the campaign.
So right out of the chute he gets a question about it and off he went — he says one could either get stabbed by a rusty knife or be blown up by a nuclear weapon — and he’d prefer the nuclear weapon (and, by the way, he added it’s been found that the trees and flowers come back more strongly following a nuclear blast).
So what’s not to like?
You could see Wallace’s face just go ashen as he started to turn and walk off the stage.
Their poll numbers went down from there.
Just an aside, not related to 2024, but showing how truly strange politics (and politicians) can be.
We’re likely in for some fun times to come, along with all the angst.
Cocaine in the White House?? Its probably left over from Donald Trump Jr’s last visit. Just watched a conversation between Vance and Trumps Jr. Either Trump Jr has the worst case of ADHD in an adult or he was as high as possible. The allegation that Trump Jr likes to indulge is made quite often and performances like that conversation do little to deny it.
Janice – no idea about the music. I would think the music is a decision made to those renting the auditorium. A bad choice on their part? Or just laziness in that they pushed played on what was left there?
I just watched a few “highlights”. People left early, seats were empty, and Trump seemed to be slurring/stuttering/ his words. He seemed desperate to get a reaction and went back to the “classics” just to get the crowd involved. The same thing happened in Milwaukee and resulted in an overly long speech.
I don’t think you can blame the location – who rented the venue? why there? who’s in charge of these decisions? I wasn’t impressed with Trump’s campaign team in 2020 and am even less impressed in 2024. They rent the venues, they write the agreements, they pick the music, they “should” keep Trump in check. But they’ve picked weird venues – urban areas or outdoor rural venues. They don’t seem to have a coherent message from beginning to end. No crowd management. It may not ruin the campaign but they are not helping.
@6:15 HRW – There is a sense that Trump is somewhat off his game with the entrance of Harris. The repeat performance of classroom name calling may also just be growing old.
Things may change, I suspect this race will wind up being (again) very close in the end. But the problem facing the Trump team is that the Democrats are very united (as well as enthusiastic) in their support of the new ticket.
The Republicans don’t have that kind of unity, there remain a good number of more moderate conservatives who are uncommitted and could go for Trump, Harris, or a 3rd party or write-in candidate.
This is definitely a new race since Biden stepped out.
DJ — I agree it’s going to be fun to watch the next three months. Almost makes me wish that I didn’t plan an eight week European trip as a retirement present for myself. But I will be back on Sept 29th for the last five weeks (I leave Weds). If the present trends continue, Harris should win, and Trump will not go quietly.
I think the only campaign rally I’ve gone to was in the dark ages, 1968, and it was for a class assignment in high school.
It was a Humphrey rally in downtown LA, at the sports arena, I think?, and featured Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. Now that made it all worthwhile, I will say. (Democrats do often have the best entertainment.)
Assignments included various candidates and our instructor wanted us specifically to attend the one we (or our parents) personally didn’t so much support, which was actually a very good exercise. It was our choice where to go.
And we had to write papers on it afterward, of course. An exercise on popular US politics and learning how to think outside our own political ‘box.’
I am curious as to why Trump was publicly lambasting fellow Republicans at that rally, at least from what I’ve read. Other than it’s just Trump being Trump.
But general elections call for as much party unity as you can muster, even if you personally don’t like someone. It just doesn’t seem like smart politics.

This is going to sounds nuts, I know, but it is possible that Imane Khelif and her/his family truly believe him/her to be female. There was some speculation that Khelif could be intersex (or something like that – there are various conditions involving sex glands and whatnot), with the outside genitals appearing female, but male gonads hiding inside.
I have to admit that despite what I shared last night, I do wonder if that is the case, because Khelif does have a male appearance. (But as I said, some women do look mannish.) If so, he/she and her/his family probably don’t even realize it. (Algeria is not open to transgender ideology.)
And again, even that report, and others, still need verification, one way or the other.

Sounds like Trump is getting ready to lose – complaining about 2020. He’s rehearsing his “greatest hits” from ’16 and ’20 in order to excite the crowds because he has nothing new. Nothing like complaining about the past to get masses going. But it seems like America doesn’t like re-runs. Its been 8 years – what TV show or reality show maintains interest that long? He needs something new but there’s nothing. Its a noticeable feature of his rallies that people leave early or just don’t show at all. He complained about empty seats in Atlanta blaming the university but in truth he’s getting old in the tooth. How long can people listen to a man-child repeat the same complaints.
Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia are in play. Pennsylvania is the only rust belt he has the numbers for. Obviously, something can stick to Harris but right now the panic is setting in.

I have a few friends who make a living on the market – mostly through futures, puts, options and shorts. This morning two of them told me to watch the markets collapse – they blamed decisions made by the Japanese central bank. Apparently, early this morning in Japan a few decisions were made and those who watch the algorithms (my friends are on the spectrum) knew it would wreck the US and European markets. I’m sure they made a few thousand this morning as did anyone with the right algorithm. The markets will recover and there won’t be a recession – the algorithms are designed to right the ship. However, if it does spread to the consumer loan market, all bets are off.
Brokerages “crash” when the market crashes – it slows down market crash and allows things to calm down.

So funny to hear your take on Atlanta, how. The city is extremely liberal. The university is extremely liberal. I thought Trump and those Republicans who went and waited a long time to get into the rally were very brave to be in hostile territory that has a good bit of crime daily as many Democrat run cities do. You did not mention that factor.
I don’t know why the university did not let everyone in. That was a curiosity to me. Maybe a security threat that went unrevealed or it could have been for a political reason. I can’t speak into that.
I do know that I was streaming on Fox News and not long before Trump appeared, the most horrid and leud rap music came onto the streaming on Fox so most people would have turned it off rather than be subjected to that pornographic string of verbal abuse. Someone finally pulled the plug on that inappropriate music. I think the streaming program got hijacked by someone. That was a liberal stunt to make it look like no one wanted to see Trump. Politics is still a dirty business.

People need to leave Khelif alone. Its ironic to see people who were concerned about “trans” in sports outraged that a woman, who in the western world would be seen as trans elgible, competing in the gender she was born as.
She was born female but due to genetics she can be viewed as “male” in terms of testosterone levels. These levels rose as she went through puberty and now as an adult she is far more “masculine” than she was as a child. She is not the only female athlete in this situation – a Taiwanese boxer, South African and Indian middle distance runners are the most well known. These girls have a natural advantage in their chosen sport but so does any high level athlete. Michael Phelps is a freak of nature but no one questions his right to compete.
When the Hungarian VP of the WBO made his pronouncement, a Hungarian woman was scheduled to fight Khelif that day. A conflict of interest. The IBA banned Khelif when she beat a Russian fighter. The WBO is a professional organisation and has nothing to do with amateur boxing. Boxing is one of the few sports who make the IOC look like a clean organization.

One of the surprising 1968 clips last night on the CNN special centered on George Wallace’s choice of Curtis LaMay as VP. The staff had cautioned LaMay, a retired general, not to ever start talking about advanced weaponry during the campaign.
So right out of the chute he gets a question about it and off he went — he says one could either get stabbed by a rusty knife or be blown up by a nuclear weapon — and he’d prefer the nuclear weapon (and, by the way, he added it’s been found that the trees and flowers come back more strongly following a nuclear blast).
So what’s not to like?
You could see Wallace’s face just go ashen as he started to turn and walk off the stage.
Their poll numbers went down from there.
Just an aside, not related to 2024, but showing how truly strange politics (and politicians) can be.

Janice – no idea about the music. I would think the music is a decision made to those renting the auditorium. A bad choice on their part? Or just laziness in that they pushed played on what was left there?
I just watched a few “highlights”. People left early, seats were empty, and Trump seemed to be slurring/stuttering/ his words. He seemed desperate to get a reaction and went back to the “classics” just to get the crowd involved. The same thing happened in Milwaukee and resulted in an overly long speech.
I don’t think you can blame the location – who rented the venue? why there? who’s in charge of these decisions? I wasn’t impressed with Trump’s campaign team in 2020 and am even less impressed in 2024. They rent the venues, they write the agreements, they pick the music, they “should” keep Trump in check. But they’ve picked weird venues – urban areas or outdoor rural venues. They don’t seem to have a coherent message from beginning to end. No crowd management. It may not ruin the campaign but they are not helping.

@6:15 HRW – There is a sense that Trump is somewhat off his game with the entrance of Harris. The repeat performance of classroom name calling may also just be growing old.
Things may change, I suspect this race will wind up being (again) very close in the end. But the problem facing the Trump team is that the Democrats are very united (as well as enthusiastic) in their support of the new ticket.
The Republicans don’t have that kind of unity, there remain a good number of more moderate conservatives who are uncommitted and could go for Trump, Harris, or a 3rd party or write-in candidate.
This is definitely a new race since Biden stepped out.
Could be anyone’s game at this stage.

I think the only campaign rally I’ve gone to was in the dark ages, 1968, and it was for a class assignment in high school.
It was a Humphrey rally in downtown LA, at the sports arena, I think?, and featured Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. Now that made it all worthwhile, I will say. (Democrats do often have the best entertainment.)
Assignments included various candidates and our instructor wanted us specifically to attend the one we (or our parents) personally didn’t so much support, which was actually a very good exercise. It was our choice where to go.
And we had to write papers on it afterward, of course. An exercise on popular US politics and learning how to think outside our own political ‘box.’
