It should not come as a surprise given the volume of examples that have been presented in the last several years; however, according to Gallup polling, amid all the top national civic and political institutions the United States “news media” is now the least trusted institution of all.
The alarming statistic is really that -post COVID- 31% of Americans still trusts news media. I would surmise that if a similar poll was done on professions, teachers, nurses and healthcare workers would also be at the lower end of the scale.
That said, this really is not a surprise if you have ever interacted at a high level outside the USA. Internationally, thanks in part to the traveling USA press corps who have showcased their ideological attributes to a host of foreign audiences, the entire world now view the USA media apparatus as various shades of something akin to Baghdad Bob.
If you think that a cognitively compromised USA President parading around the world as a blithering fool, while the USA media openly pretended he was functional, does not have some significant impact on global views, you are mistaken. The entire world sees Joe Biden as he is, not as the media pretended him to be.

Mark Halprin gives his prediction about what will happen when President Trump wins the election. Tucker Carlson plays along, with both pretending not to remember what happened in 2016.
What Mark Halprin predicts, is exactly what happened in 2016. WATCH:
Every single thing in this response is exactly what happened in 2016. The silly part is both Tucker Carlson and Mark Halprin pretending not to remember what happened. Some reminder pictures from 2016 below.
In 2016 the Democrats: ~ organized a refusal to certify the election ~ boycotted the inauguration ~ claimed Russia hacked the election ~ broke out in violent protests, including arson, on inauguration day ~ put their genitals on their heads ~ conducted violent protests ~ began the Trump-Russia campaign for the next two years; then tried impeachments.

In this interview Tucker Carlson talks with Mark Halprin, a well-connected journalist that Tucker Carlson cites as the epicenter of all political power and journalistic knowledge since the mid-1980’s. Accordingly, the magnanimous and enlightened Mark Halprin knows more about the institutions of electoral influence, political power structures, people and organizations of political influence than most journalists, so sayeth Carlson. And so, their discussion follows along.
If you are nostalgic for the time before you saw the strings on the political marionettes, and/or you like to remind yourself how you viewed politics in the era long before elections were decided by ballots instead of voters, you will enjoy this satiating conversation of how things used to be.
Both Halprin and Carlson pretend things are just like they were, while they apply 1998 political insight to the 2024 election year, and -for some reason- people discuss it.
However, if you have stopped pretending and you understand that modern political outcomes are determined by ballot systems, local ballot printing, fraudulent voter rolls to give the illusion of attribution to the locally printed ballots, and tabulation centers that conduct the necessary scanning of unattributed ballots to a number needed to generate the outcome, then this food-filled discussion about political sides between Halprin and Carlson ends up leaving you somewhat hungry.
Here’s an example. Within the interview Mark Halprin notes that Kamala Harris campaign has raised over a billion dollars, and that’s just the money from inside the campaign; there’s much more from “outside groups and interests.” With jaw-agape Carlson curiously asks where that money came from? Halprin replies, “I have no idea,” and they simply move along.
Yes, the conversation is about various subsets of voters, black men who don’t support Harris as much, and a multitude of other various popular narratives that surround the 2024 election as written in various media. Let me cut to the proverbial chase, none of that stuff matters.
Yes, along the same approach expressed by the Halprin’s and Carlson’s of the world, Barack Obama might be calling out the “brothers” who do not intend to vote for Kamala Harris. However, in the real world of 2024 a very non-pretending James Clyburn might just as well say, “yes they are, they just don’t know it.” Why, because Clyburn controls the ballots of “the brothers”; their voting intent is irrelevant.
Thus, we highlight once again the distinction between voters and ballots that seems intentionally lost amid a constructed interview between the very enlightened Halprin and the curiously incurious Carlson.
What exactly is the value of the conversation when the subject matter surrounding it is as useful to the 2024 election as vinyl records to modern rap music. You decide.
To answer the question about Kamala Harris’ extraordinary fundraising, let’s just revisit demonstrable history.
First, James Clyburn’s operation was constructed during the Obama era through the financing of something called the Pigford Settlement. Yes, Pigford-I was the payment mechanism behind taxpayer funds being shifted from govt to the very specifically black community. The Clyburn team, along with legal powerhouses like Morgan & Morgan, were part of the payment distribution architecture.
With the capital to start the mechanics of the AME ballot scanning operation now financed, along comes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, set up by Elizabeth Warren, to funnel fines and pressure payments from the USA banking and finance sector to a host of progressive networks, ie community organizing groups.
There you go. That’s the ‘elevator speech’ answer behind the odd “I don’t know” retort of Mark Halprin.
What was the intent of this interview? I have no idea. However, what they discuss seems like a conversation that might have been pertinent to elections many cycles ago, but not now.
In the modern era facilitated by the rise of Teh One Lightbringer of all political truth, what many might remember as our promised “fundamental change,” voters are irrelevant to the outcome.
That said, there are very serious efforts underway to apply tactical civics in this new battleground. In that contest based on reality we destroy local ballot printing operations, block the use of fraudulent voter rolls and find industrious ways to stop the secret scanning operations within the AME network of 17 county tabulation centers.
If tactical civics are successful, and we are about to discover that “if” answer, then the conversation that Halprin and Carlson are currently having might reapply in the next election. However, until then, talking about what voters intend to happen while ignoring the irrelevance therein, seems to miss the proverbial point of where we are in the modern era of ‘ballot collection’ elections.

UPDATE: We will continue bumping this thread to keep the communication lines available.
...”I live in the Western part of the US; reading these comments is like listening in on a (telephone) party line. This is the first I’ve heard firsthand live reports from the people directly affected. For the first time there is no canned, approved spoon fed mis-information delivered by the faceless and unaffected paid to be there.”….
Which is exactly the reason we keep this thread going!
As the areas in Eastern Tennessee, Western North Carolina and the Western gulf coast of Florida continue recovery operations from Hurricanes Helene and Milton, today my thoughts are with those who are still impacted and dealing with the long-term recovery process.
If you have stability and the ability to communicate, I am wondering how you guys are doing.
Working with several ground groups, we have sent toolboxes and resources into the area for the arduous tasks that remain. There are many who feel overwhelmed; just know our thoughts and deepest prayers remain with you. It will get a little better every day.
Resourceful teams (mostly electrical restoration experts) who learned quickly after they helped the Puerto Rico Mountain areas in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria are doing amazing work reaching some of the more isolated areas. These are good friends with a git-r-done approach.
Eastern Tennessee power has mostly returned; however, approximately 23,500 of the 1.5 million customers that lost power, just in the Western North Carolina area still lack electricity as of today, according to Poweroutage.us. Additionally, there are still about 365,000 Floridians without power.
The power restoration in the dense mountain forests of WNC is slow going, some roads and bridges are completely washed away. According to the Associated Press report, “The crews aren’t doing what they typically do, which is a repair effort. They’re rebuilding from the ground up,” said Kristie Aldridge, vice president of communications at North Carolina Electric Cooperatives {link}.
There are widespread rumors and disparate reports of the overall death toll, at last count was well over 200. Anecdotal reports from people in the WNC region put the death toll much higher but are difficult to confirm. We do not want to spread rumors, yet we simultaneously accept this close to the election there is an unfortunate incentive for both federal and state emergency management officials to keep the death toll numbers hidden.
The bottom line is a concern for everyone in the impact areas. Therefore, ground reports are the most valuable. How are y’all doing?
Dear God of grace and strength, in the midst of uncertainty, fear and change we turn to You for stability and strength. Please grant us the wisdom and fortitude to navigate the unknown, the courage to face challenges, and the faith to trust Your divine plan.
Heavenly Father, let Your unwavering presence be our anchor in the aftermath of these storms. Grant us the resilience to face the challenges of recovery with grace and hearts filled with purpose. May we continue to find, patience, stability and fellowship in Your eternal love.
Thank You for guiding us through these uncertain times. In Jesus blessed and loving name we pray. ~ Amen.

The Georgia state election rule is simple. Remove the paper ballots from the containers after voting and hand count the number of paper ballots. The number of paper ballots must match the number of electronically recorded votes and voters. If it does not there is a problem. This rule also starts a paper trail putting the physical number of ballots on the record before they reach the Fulton County ballot scanning tabulation center.
It is a simple rule that says the number of ballots must match the number of voters. Easy peasy. The purpose of the rule is simple, make sure ballots are not double counted or scanned multiple times at the tabulation center. However, citing electoral anxiety, January 6th, and the lack of training poll workers on how to count numbers, a Fulton County judge has blocked the hand count. Apparently counting the number of physical papers is too difficult for Fulton County poll workers…. or, there is something else in play.
You can read about Judge Robert McBurney HERE. Let me be very clear without pretense….. The Fulton County corrupt ballot system is dependent on scanning ballots multiple times. This is what they did in 2020; this is why duplicate ballots were found in scanned ballot imaging and this is what they planned to do in 2024. Run the Kamala Harris ballots multiple times to manufacture additional Harris votes.
Judge Robert McBurney is intentionally, with malicious intent, blocking the simple verification process that would have stopped the corrupt AME poll workers from scanning batches of ballots multiple times. Judge Robert McBurney is facilitating the intent of ballot fraud. Fullstop.
(Via Politico) – […] “Should the Hand Count Rule take effect as scheduled, it would do so on the very fortnight of the election,” he wrote. “As of today, there are no guidelines or training tools for the implementation of the Hand Count Rule.”
His order, which followed lengthy hearings in his courtroom, only temporarily stays the decision; it could be appealed to a higher court in the state for this year or eventually go into effect in future elections.
Late last month, Trump-aligned members of the Georgia State Election Board pushed through the controversial policy requiring hand-counting of ballots. Local poll workers would not be tallying results but counting the raw number of ballots cast and comparing them to the machine-counted total.
It was an incredibly late change that state and local election officials warned would be a labor-intensive process. They warned that the process would delay results by hours in the battleground state (more)
Once the unknown number of ballots reach the tabulation centers, the unknown number of ballot scans can take place.
How Georgia Republican poll watchers can organize to stop the double counting of ballots at the “tabulation center” is unknown. However, this is now the only hope that republicans have in Georgia to stop a repeat of the fraud that was perpetrated in 2020.
More than likely the Fulton Country tabulation center will be isolated from any external eyes on their manipulative and deceptive practices. It will now be up to the rest of the state to try and vote in a significant enough quantity to overwhelm the multiple ballot scans that will be taking place at the Fulton County tabulation center.
