How American Oligarchs Stole 2020
Whenever discussions of election integrity come up in the media, the left's narrative is that no one has been able to prove cheating in the 2020 election. I disagree with that assertion, but we don't even have to get into allegations of rigged election machines.
We just have to look at what we know to be true about the efforts of social media oligarchs and the left-wing media.
For example, we know that social media and their Big Media allies spiked the true story of Hunter Biden's laptop. They lied and claimed it was Russian disinformation. That manipulation of the real news "rigged" the election.
But Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg did much more than simply use his social media platform to censor news. He used his massive fortune to ensure that Donald Trump lost the election.
We've reported before on how "Zuck bucks" influenced local elections offices. Now a new documentary has been produced that will open the eyes of the American people, revealing how one American oligarch stole the election.
Think about this: The Democrat National Committee spent $461 million in the election. Mark Zuckerberg spent $400 million. He was like a second "DNC" boosting Joe Biden and liberal candidates.
He channeled his money through two organizations -- Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). They were staffed with liberal political consultants who worked closely with friendly local election officials.
"Zuck bucks" were poured into key states as "grants" to help make it easier for people to vote during the pandemic. In reality, their efforts were targeted at driving liberal turnout in the key swing states that Joe Biden needed to win.
Of the $400 million that was spent, $51 million was concentrated in Georgia. Funding was not evenly distributed throughout the state. It was deliberately spent in ways that boosted turnout in liberal areas.
Of the $51 million spent in Georgia, $1.91 per registered voter was spent in counties that Trump won, while $7.13 per registered voter was spent in counties that Biden won. A similar spending discrepancy was discovered in Pennsylvania, another state Biden barely won.
A premier showing of the documentary, "Rigged: The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump," it taking place on April 5th at Mar-a-Lago. You can order a DVD or digital download here.
Cracking down on so-called "Zuck bucks" is a necessary election reform. Private foundations should not be functioning as quasi-official elections offices. I am pleased to report that several states have banned the practice in election integrity legislation.
This documentary should be sent to every conservative member of Congress and state legislator. It should be played at every major conservative event. This is not "looking backwards, threatening the next election," as some critics have argued. It's looking forward to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
Biden's Energy Insanity
The dust is still settling from Biden's announcement yesterday that he is draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. As is often the case after a major Biden speech, the White House had to deploy the cleanup crew, which barely got a break after working overtime to clean up the mess from Biden's European trip last week.
Biden suggested yesterday that people using clean energy "would save about $500 a month." Well, it's only $500 a year, and some experts even question that figure.
In addition, Biden announced that he's releasing 1 million barrels of oil a day or 180 million barrels over the next six months. That's approximately one-third of the entire Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which isn't even at full capacity right now. That's because liberal politicians blocked Donald Trump from filling it.
According to one energy analyst, Biden's order would be "the largest draw-down volume announced in the 45-year history of the [reserve] by a factor of 3.6 times." Other allied nations are announcing today that they are following Biden's lead.
But guess what, folks? Communist China is not drawing down its strategic oil reserve. It is buying as much oil as Premier Xi can get his hands on. (Here and here.) While Biden is playing political games, communist China is doing what it thinks is necessary to win the next war, which it is planning to win.
In fact, China is hoarding not just oil, but anything else it can get its hands on, including computer chips, grain and commodities of all kinds. Communist China is cornering the market on rare earth metals that are needed for the left's "green energy" future and much of our military's electronics. What does that tell you?
And by the way, communist China was helped in that hoarding by Hunter Biden, who arranged the sale of a huge rare earth mine in Africa to communist China.
Think about this irony: Joe Biden said in a presidential debate that his goal was to phase out carbon-based fuels. When conservatives say, "Drill, Baby, Drill!" the media always mocks us. But that's essentially what Biden said yesterday to the U.S. energy industry. He threatened to penalize oil companies if they didn't drill more.
Biden should be working with American drillers, not foreign killers. He needs to reach out to our energy industry instead of appeasing the terrorist regime in Iran and the Marxists in Venezuela.
Biden's Cultural Insanity
When he wasn't attacking our energy industry yesterday, Biden and his administration were busy coarsening our culture and attacking normalcy. For the first time in history, the transgender flag, not the "gay pride" flag but the transgender pride flag, flew outside of the Department of Health and Human Services yesterday.
In Florida, conservative legislators and Gov. Ron DeSantis are not backing down to the cultural radicals who have hijacked Disney. Gov. DeSantis has not hesitated to call out Disney (here and here) for its hypocritical double standards. In fighting back, they are setting the example for conservatives around the country.
Meanwhile, Disney is looking to expand its operations around the world, including in the Middle East, which has a growing population. Many of these countries actually criminalize homosexual conduct.
It will be interesting to see the reaction when someone notifies the Islamist governments of Qatar, Oman and Egypt that Disney intends to tell little Muslim children that they can choose their own gender.
