Beyond a Hot Mess – McConnell Retreats from Support of Border Deal, Lankford May Vote Against His Own Legislation

Posted originally on the CTH on February 5, 2024 | Sundance

Exactly how bad is the “bipartisan” legislation, which should be called, ‘the border insecurity in exchange for Ukraine money act’? The bill is so bad, and makes things so much worse, that James Lankford may end up voting against his own legislative creation.

Making matters worse, Mitch McConnell is now pretending the entire fiasco wasn’t his idea, further leaving James Lankford out to dry on his own.

(Politico) – […] Several members of GOP leadership came out against the legislation in the past 24 hours, further boxing in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The Kentucky Republican, who supports the agreement linking border policy changes with aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, called Monday’s meeting an “interesting discussion.”

Inside the room, McConnell told Republicans that if they didn’t like the direction that the bill is going, they should vote against moving forward this week, according to two people briefed on the meeting who were granted anonymity to speak candidly.

According to two attendees, McConnell did not forcefully whip for or against the bill. He instead discussed the specific policies and politics of the legislation, which is opposed by Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump.

Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who struck the deal, even suggested he might vote against moving forward if his colleagues weren’t ready to move.“That’s not voting against the bill,” Lankford said of voting to filibuster the bill from coming to the floor. “So that’s not the final passage. That’s the beginning point.” (read more)

Senate Border Bill is Worse Than Existing Immigration Law

Posted criminally on the CTH on February 5, 2024 Sundance

The Senate immigration bill, aka border security bill, is only designed as the cover for the Senate to send $60 billion more to Ukraine. The Ukraine money is the priority (corps/lobbyists) the border “security” bill is the technique to create and spend it.

That said, they certainly would not want to let a created and purposeful border crisis go to waste, and they didn’t. The latest version of the Senate Immigration Reform Bill is now public [SEE HERE]. The proposed Senate border security bill provisions are actually worse than existing non-secure border provisions.

America First Legal did a great job hitting on the top-line issues created by this new bill. In many ways, multiple ways, this supplemental “border security” bill makes things worse. The bill codifies into law the loopholes currently being used to increase the number of illegal aliens. By this design the bill makes things worse.

One-in-Five Mail-In Voters Admit to Fraud

Posted originally on Feb 5, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

We know that the mail-in voting system was implemented as a measure to control the vote. The question becomes how far does the fraud go? The Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute conducted a survey that found one-in-five mail-in voters committed voter fraud during the 2020 US Presidential Election.

These are merely the people who admitted to illegal voting practices. Around 21% admitted that they filled out a ballot, in part or in full, on behalf or someone else, while 19% admitted they permitted someone else to vote on their behalf. Another 17% admitted they signed a ballot on behalf or a family member of friend without their permission.

An alarming 17% of mail-in voters surveyed admit they illegally voted in a state where they do not reside. Democrats (36%) were more likely than Republicans (24%) to vote by mail, but both admit to outright voter fraud. If anything, Republicans were slightly more likely to voter fraud, in fact, with 19% admitting to signing a ballot on behalf of a family member or friend compared to 16% of Democrats. As for illegally casting a vote in a different state, 24% of Republicans admitted to doing so compared to 17% of Democrats.

Minorities reported a higher rate of voter fraud as some agencies were paying them to vote. About 29% of Hispanics, 15% of Blacks, and 3% of Whites admit that they were bribed for their vote in the last presidential election.

Justin Haskins, director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, called the survey results “nothing short of stunning.” “For the past three years, Americans have repeatedly been told that the 2020 election was the most secure in history. But if this poll’s findings are reflective of reality, the exact opposite is true. This conclusion isn’t based on conspiracy theories or suspect evidence, but rather from the responses made directly by the voters themselves,” he added.

Now these are merely the people who were honest enough to admit that they voted illegally. Perhaps those against voter fraud should spin the story and say that in-person voting with identification is necessary to prevent Trump, not Biden, from stealing the election.
