Whitehall is still empty …
Where would we be without our wonderful Westminster MSM! Their print editions this morning are inadvertently showing yet again what they think of us plebs: too thick to notice that ‘strings were pulled’ but keen on ‘Sleb News’. The title for Auntie’s compilation says it all, and so do the front pages: “Newspaper headlines: “Williamson forced out’ and Hancock enters jungle” (link) – bread and circus for the masses!
There are however the results of the midterm elections in the USA. Admittedly, those results aren’t all in at the time of publishing front pages offline and online, but already we note the spin our broadsheets are giving to the results: it’s not a ‘red wave’ but only ‘a ripple’ (paywalled link). This is allegedly only due to Trump’s candidates not getting elected while his rivals are, e.g. Mr Santis in Florida (link, paywalled).
Of course, nobody mentions that ‘predictions’ of ‘winning big’ in elections usually means that the adversary will go full out to prevent this while the alleged ‘winners’ believe their vote won’t matter because they’re winning anyway.
Meanwhile, there were no ‘news’ from COP27 worth the attention of our MSM which couldn’t care less if Sunak and Hunt will hand out more of our money to countries clamouring for ‘reparation’. Allison Pearson has a scathing comment in the DT, writing:
”Basically, we are on the hook for untold billions to countries experiencing adverse weather conditions, because we invented factories. And cars. Surely, in the current economic climate, when people are worried about how to manage their very existence, the Government wouldn’t be mad enough to ask the British people to divert their taxes away from vital public services to “environmental reparations” for countries like Somalia, Kenya and Pakistan?” (paywalled link)
There’s more, with some details which make me as happy as ‘Rick and Katy in Darlington’:
Ah, well, as Jeremy Hunt prepares to make up to £35 billion in spending cuts and around £25 billion in tax increases, at least Rick and Katy in Darlington, who are struggling to feed their three children after paying the gas bill, will be cheered by the thought that they are helping to fund Nairobi’s Railway City and Hydropower Project. Rishi Sunak says this is “the right thing to do”. Sorry, Prime Minister, giving in to specious emotional blackmail from developing nations when your own countrymen are facing enormous hardship is not just wrong, it’s immoral.” (paywalled link)
Oh Allison – since when did this millennium’s PMs worry about their policies being immoral when they can boldly tell us that “it’s the right thing to do (™ TBlair)”? Laura Dodsworth in her brief article asks the question we recall from ‘The Life of Brian’ – worth reading in full (link).
But let’s not be troubled by such questions when PMs need to be seen to ‘do the right thing (™ TBlair)! Let’s look instead at yon NHS strike ballots. Apparently, “we” are expected to sigh and agree that the strike by NHS staff for which their trade unions have balloted is perfectly acceptable. However, yesterday afternoon the DM reported that those same trade unions were advertising much better paid jobs overseas (link).
Scroll down to the middle of that article for a very interesting graph. Trade unions demand that government add 12% to their offer of 5%. Lo and behold, those NHS staff on the higher salaries would get much more money than those at the low end of the salary scale. That’s using percentages for you, because at the low end of the income scale, 12% of not very much is less than 12% of a larger income. Not much ‘solidarity’ with the low paid, is there!
But there are other NHS ‘news’ – see this:
“NHS flu jab blunder fears: Over-65s may have been given WRONG vaccine as health chiefs investigate ‘potential serious incident’ – A ‘small number’ of people are affected by the mishap, according to officials – They have mistakenly been given a standard egg culture influenza vaccine – Although safe, the jab is less effective than the one they were meant to get – Everyone affected will be given an opportunity to get another type of vaccine” (link)
Oh dear. A good thing it was only the flu jab, not the covid vaxx, innit! Surely, if NHS staff had higher salaries this wouldn’t have happened, would it! In any case, at least someone was checking those jabs and telling the MSM. A pity they weren’t as diligent looking at the horrendous side effects of the covid vaxx, but as we all know, that’s something not to be mentioned in the polite society of the Westminster MSM.
And so to our wonderful ‘public service’, especially Whitehall, especially the Home Office, extra especially the “refugee crisis”! The following reports were published in yesterday’s DM. There wasn’t enough space for them in yesterday’s column.
The first item which piqued my interest was Mr Shapps, Home Sec for a handful of days, obviously angling to get that job back. He warned that the “Manston unit is close to breaking law by becoming an ‘unofficial detention centre’, […]” (link). Of course, he’d have dealt with that by now, wouldn’t he!
I wonder if he’ll claim next that he created the ‘deal’ Sunak ‘secured’ with Macron, about British officers ‘helping’ French police with those pesky ‘migrants’:
“The crucial agreement will allow UK Border Force officers into French control centres to help combat small-boat departures across the Channel. The deal will also see the largest-ever sum handed by the UK taxpayer to France – thought to be around £80million – for escalated anti-dinghy patrols.” (link)
A few more £millions are neither here nor there in the Grand Hunt Scheme of budget things! Moreover, we clearly have enough Border Farce officers to help out in France, even though they’re incapable of doing their job here in the UK. But then again, they would at least not WFH! This is a real concern, even though “we” aren’t talking about it: that would be uncouth! The DM report:
“Despite the growing migrant crisis nearly half of Home Office staff are still working from home, figures have shown. Only fifty four per cent of Home Office workers were back at their desks at their headquarters on Marsham Street during the week commencing October 17. Suella Braverman’s department ranked second lowest for in-person attendance that week, just ahead of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office at 44 per cent.” (link)
Note the spin: it’s now Ms Bravermans department, so she’s responsible for the WFHitis created by Johnson and Sunak during the lockdown years. Mr Shapps would surely have them all back in Whitehall, wouldn’t he!
While this is bad enough, the fact that over half of the Foreign Office staff is still WFH is more than worrying in this uncertain world. Still, I suppose we must be grateful that the MoD is practically back at normal staffing levels with 95% of civil serpents at their desks.
I wonder if those absent HO staff are the ‘sources’ pouring anti-Braverman poison into the will ears of our Westminster ‘correspondents’. I also wonder how many of those Whitehall civil serpents are using those ‘mindfulness apps’ on which Whitehall departments have been splashing out. Richard Littlejohn wrote about this yesterday – do read his report here.
Perhaps the government ought to provide all those of us who use smartphones with a ‘free mindfulness app’, to help lull us into a mood of accepting their money grabs and their destruction of our society. I’m sure it would also calm the minds of those dinghy people who are stuffed into 5-star hotels.
However, it’s unclear if such app would help when we all shiver in our homes, eating cold soup from tins. Still, exercise ought to keep us warm – exercise such as going on demos …
If this is any consolation: those of a conservative freedom- loving mindset may not have won the mid- terms, but they -and we-can still fight back against the digital cage that is being built around us by not cooperating or collaborating . This is something that IMHO probably wouldn’t be resolved through the ballot box and is down to us as individuals.
I refer to the issues discussed in this article: https://expose-news.com/2022/11/09/technologies-that-are-being-weaponised-against-people
People need to stop trading their freedoms for convenience.
Now that most results are in, it’s clear that US voters preferred the good old Dems to whichever Trumpian candidate was put up to run against them. Is it the fault of Trump? Perhaps it’s time to move on from Trump – not because of his policies but because of the now totally entrenched anti-Trump poison in the public sphere, created by the US MSM and antisocial media. Having to defend themselves against this anti-Trump machine means that his candidates were handicapped from the start. I guess many didn’t vote for them because:”it’s a vote for Trump”.
We’ll see if the Blue states, invigorated by these results, will now accelerate their demolition of the US economy by all the means they have: more illegal immigrants, fewer police, no money for schools but more genderitis …
Me, I’d say: let it crash and burn. It’s what the US voters voted for. To be careful in what one wishes for – that’s a lesson only learned when everything is or has fallen to pieces in consequence. We’re starting to learn it, Germany and the rest of the EU are starting to learn it, the US will also have to learn it. Time will tell.
Fair comment Viv.
Viv, in that case, how about Pres Trump for British Prime Minister?
Wasn’t his Mum Scotch? – in any event he has more understanding of GB and more leadership qualities than the whole of the so called British parliament.
e.g I dont think the eu control would last long, illegal immegrants out and on and on.
Nice one – but seriously: which Party would nominate him, for a ‘safe seat’? I can’t see any and I doubt the Tice, Foxes and the rest would gracefully step back for him to take over: they have not one ‘safe seat’ to offer between them … As for winning the majority of seats in the HoC to get him into No 10? Aww, not gonna happen.
Lovely dream though!
VIV- have to say if there were a by election in my constituency, many would vote for a Moster R L party candidate to get him – DT. Then a year or so later the Monster (less raving looney) party sorted with DTrump acolytes, sweeps the board!
Sometimes you are so negative Viv (!).
Nah – not negative, just being cynical because of past experiences …
If the early returns from America are correct then hope is extinguished. It beggars belief that the Democrats are not being routed, but that is only for us who still have conservative instincts. What we are seeing is the effect of the long march through the institutions. There is a generation, even two perhaps, who have had conservative instincts educated out of them. Thus, the large population moves from California to Arizona of democrat voters, unable to see that what they fled is actually a consequence of their political philosophy, continue to vote Democrat.
Trump has not helped the Republicans by banging on about ‘the steal’ instead of focusing exclusively on Biden’s policies and their effects. That Fetterman won in Pennsylvania ought to be a warning. There may well be voting shenanigans but campaigns need to be run as though there were not. Putting up wacky Trump candidates is not working.
Kari Lake will be the canary in the coal mine for Trump if she loses. Even if she wins it will be by a small margin that other Republican candidates, less smooth and articulate in front of a camera, cannot emulate. If she loses I will be depressed.
I went to a talk last night by the American educated political philosopher and bible scholar Yoram Hazony (who lives in Jerusalem with his nine children!) About 60 of us, Laura Dodsworth and Katherine Birbalsingh included to my surprise, crammed into a room to hear him. His basic thesis is that what he called liberal internationalism since the fall of the Berlin Wall has come to believe it is the only alternative to fascism and communism having defeated both since 1945. It believes there is no space between liberailsm and fascism and so no possibility for what he calls national conservatism. Thus the bulk of democrat voters continue to vote democrat, no matter how dosmayed by Biden, believing it the only possibility post fascism.
The space for national conservatism, once historically dominant, has to be re-won, recreated except there is no-one at present capable of doing that. Thatcher may have won in 79 in reaction to the winter of discontent, and enjoyed a Falklands bounce in 83, but the win in 87 was her triumph of having changed people’s minds. She consistently made the case for national conservatism and could not be deflected from it. Who now makes the case and comes up with one liners like ‘the trouble with socialsim is that you eventually run out of other people’s money’?
Trump is too obsessed with 2020 and still trying the tactics of 2016. Kelly Anne Conway is advising him to drop ‘the steal’ and focus on Biden’s policies but he does not appear to be listening. Here in the UK we have no-one making the case for national conservativism. It took Thatcher years, something Truss failed to understand. The march through the institutions has produced a generation where we have to start all over again.
Liberal internationalism, in which people, especially young people, think of themselves as citizens of the world, are not going to be re-educated by the likes of Theresa May (they are ‘citizens of nowhere’). We need an intellectualy coherent chanpion to create that space between liberalism and fascism. I don’t see who could champion it here or in the US or France or …..and until such a person comes along it is going to get a lot worse.
Do you not believe in the steal, SY, or do you think that since the corrupt media, judiciary, enforcement and security agencies, the entire establishment, smother everything, much as anti-lockdowners, anti-jabbers and climate realists are ridiculed and metaphorically burnt at the stake, it is simply the wrong tactic as the truth will never gain traction? I can see the logic in addressing the now, but in any walk of life if you feel cheated and see the perpetrator benefiting from it every day right in front of you, and still calling you the liar, it must be pretty tough. And if Lake is beaten there will be no doubt they have done it again.
I believe the American voting system is open to significant abuse (even more than our own is) and was indeed abused in 2020. My point is that the Republican-Trump base is no longer large enough by itself, even in an unimpeachable voting system, to win without also persuading independents and disaffected democrats. Banging on about the steal two years later may appeal to die-hard Trump supporters but it is not appealing to anyone else. Politics is a practical activity and while there are four years of legitmate grievances for Trump and his supporters at the hands of the US blob. ideological purity is best left to religions. The steal has not produced a red wave. It is something to be dealt with, injustices corrected, the corrupt institutions reformed, after taking power. I think Trump’s vanity is an impediment much as I wish there had been a red wave and we could look forward to President Trump in 2024.
There is currently no one in any establishment party that gives a scintilla of hope to turn the internationalist liberal establishment tanker around or indeed reduce its rate of knots – quite the reverse they are going to drive home their current advantage whatever the cost.
The Conservative Party is now rotten to the core as is Labour/Lib Dem. Anyone clinging to the hope that somehow a knight in shining centre Right armour will come along and cleanse the party of the centre Left scum that now run and fund the party is deluded. Those who cannot or refuse to accept the fact that all establishment parties are fully signed up to the globalist agenda and that it matters not a jot which of them is in power are remarkably naive in the face of the evidence that stares us all in the face. Forget this heap of steaming, fermenting Tory dung and join the centre Right challenger parties to join in the fight back. We have to put some skin in the game now, proudly flaunt our memberships, encourage others, get busy, show we are serious and that leader, we all desire, will appear.
Stout Yeoman………you’ve hit the nail firmly and squarely on the head there. All Trumps bangs on about is ‘the steal’ from last time. Its history get over it and concentrate on the future. I have never been impressed with Trump to be honest and seems to me at least to have a limited vocabulary whilst speaking, ie ‘great’ and ‘fantastic’ and all the rest of it. Plus, he seems to think that ruling by Twitter is the way to go. No, it definitely is not. The release of information should be via official channels. Social Media has come back to haunt many people including Trump. The Republicans need to look to some other politician for future progress.
SY In 2020 the Democrats won without a doubt by dint of massive fraud. The march through the institutions must have made huge strides since then, if this time round if they win without the same massive fraud . If you see what I mean. Has the mindset of the voters changed so much since? I so-oooo hope not……
Each year a certain number of young people reach the age of voting majority and joins the electorate. Those minds, so far as they vote at all, are majority democrat. As democrats congregate in cities, influence is greater on undecideds than in dispersed rural communities. I do not know the scale of these effects – perhaps very limited – but 2016 is not going to bere-run (fraudulently or otherwise).
The GOP is split. Divided parties do not win elections. An anti-Trump pall hangs over the US. There is no Trump break through. Unfair, unjust, but Republicans need to deal with it intelligently. No sign of that yet, merely recriminations.
Are they still using those corrupted voting machines I wonder?
Yes, with Win XP operating systems!
So far out of date and superseded by Win Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1, Win 10, and Win 11 systems. Many of these ‘more modern’ op systems that are already unsupported by micro$oft. And remember each release has better proof against being hacked.
For the computer nerds amongst you, I’m pretty sure software ‘canaries’ appeared around 8 or 8.1,
Hello Stout Yeoman
I am inclined to agree with pretty much everything you say here – with one exception. You state “There is a generation, even two perhaps, who have had conservative instincts educated out of them “.
It seems to me that it has been ‘brainwashed’ out of them – as is happening here in the UK.
Kind regards.
I agree that much of modern education amounts to brain washing.
“at the low end of the income scale, 12% of not very much is less than 12% of a larger income.”
Succinctly put. It is what I have been repeating for I don’t know how long regarding the specious whine that the triple lock is ’sooo unfair’: why should pensioners get a whacking 10% when we have to make do with a meagre X%? Because your groceries cost you the same, and X% of your salary will buy you a lot more milk that a pensioner’s 10%. My one time boss used to say, “The more I can get for you the higher I float.’
All my friends in the U.S. (black and white), are Republicans. This could be a catalyst moment.
This is the transcript of a post I did yesterday which may have arrived too late for some re Sunak’s quick departure from the stage at Crap27.
The US Military transmitted an astonishing ELEVEN (11) Emergency Action Messages (EAM’s) to US Forces worldwide today. Usually, there are NONE. When something is up, there may be three. Today there are eleven . . . and counting. Six since 3:45 PM eastern US time today.
There is all sorts of “chatter” on intel circuits about a “British submarine.” Some intel saying a sub suffered an electrical fire while others are HINTING . . .
that a submarine may have not only been fired upon, may have sustained rudder damage. THIS IS *NOT* Substantiated.
UPDATE To Submarine Claim 5:57 PM EST —
One of the British Navy’s Vanguard-class nuclear submarines was forced to abort a “top secret mission” after it sustained fire damage, yesterday (Sunday) article published by The Sun.
According to the outlet’s sources, it took the efforts of the entire 130-plus crew, including many who were off-duty, to put out an electrical fire aboard the HMS Victorious, which was carrying Trident 2 nuclear ICBMs at the time of the incident.
While the fire was reportedly contained relatively quickly, the emergency situation declared by the ship’s captain forced the ship to shoot to the surface at an undisclosed location in the North Atlantic to vent out toxic fumes.
A Navy source reportedly explained to The Sun that “every seagoing member of the Royal Navy is a qualified fire-fighter,” and that this ensured that British ships and submarines were able to quickly respond to such incidents without affecting operational outputs.
Nevertheless, the damage caused by the fire prompted the submarine’s captain to abandon an unspecified “top secret mission” and order the vessel to return to base at HMNB Clyde in Faslane, Scotland.
Intel circuits earlier were claiming a British jet was fired upon with live ammunition by a Russian military jet somewhere around Ukraine, but that was a singular report and it, too, IS **NOT** substantiated or corroborated.
We do know that earlier today, British Prime Minister was urgently rushed OUT of a Climate Agenda meeting taking place in Egypt. He subsequently returned to the conference.
Whatever is taking place, there is all sorts of bizarre speculation and absolutely zero corroboration.
I thought you should know things got suddenly hectic this afternoon.
In addition to the EAM’s, numerous P-8 Poseidon aircraft launched off all three US coasts (Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf) and are in the air along with several E-6 aircraft.
Something appears to be “up.”
Border Farce: the only thing that might save us, is for us in huge numbers to fight the arrivals off on the beaches. TPTB might start having a bit of respect for us if we got out of our pram more? They have nothing but contempt for us which they are not trying to hide ; they’re flaunting it IMHO.
A nation of sheep gets a government of wolves.
It would only take 100 centre Right activists in a constituency of 60,000 to 80,000 people to start a loose association and commence a fight back. It wouldn’t really matter at this point which centre Right challenger party they were members/supporters of but between them they could decide to nominate and support only one party candidate possibly based on the greatest number of members that a party had in that constituency. I am a UKIP member and would happily work with another challenger party with more support in my constituency to avoid diluting the centre Right vote. Better still if the challenger parties would come together to form one party but the Reform Party are not up for it it seems.
I am very disappointed Jake and would also be willing to support a group locally but my days of organising and treading the streets are sadly gone. I was deputy chairman and Secretary of the County branch of UKIP and the lockdowns screwed us completely.
Jake……….you wouldn’t get 100 people to do this. It seems that you have plucked that figure out of the ether, and is just pie in the sky talk. Even in UKIP’s heyday an individual branch like the one I used to be chairman of in Kent which at one time was fertile territory for the party where we 70 plus councillors, were doing well if we could muster up 25 activists to assist in an election, let alone 100. The sad fact of the matter is that my branch prior to 2016 had a membership of 154, but the majority of those members considered paying the £30.00 membership fee was sufficient in their eyes and would not do anything else other than that. In target seats like North Thanet where Nigel Farage stood as PPS the constituency association fared much better and had well over 200 members and were able to attract other UKIP activists across the country to help out. And of course, UKIP in those far off days ran the borough council. Most branches however had much fewer members and activists at their disposal and were lucky if they could muster up a handful to help out at elections. To win elections, a party must have ‘boots on the ground’ in numbers to make any impression on the electorate, and had to have sufficient activists prepared to knock on doors, getting the vote out, manning all polling stations and run a committee room on election day. UKIP are a busted flush now and a mere shadow of what it was, and wouldn’t get anywhere near having sufficient boots on the ground. One can’t help noticing in recent by elections, that UKIP makes do with an old London Taxi whereas in its heyday when Farage was at the helm, they had a double decker bus to assist in spreading the message. And in UKIP’s heyday the Annual Conference was held in a major hall with a big stage with at least 1500 attendees on a daily basis. Now, it is in the backroom of a pub with only 50 attendees, whose leader in his speech rambled on about nothing in particular. That demonstrates how far the party has fallen in recent years. The other parties are probably worse than that. The Heritage Party held its Annual Conference in September and judging by the number of people applauding it sounded as if less than 20 people were present. I don’t know what its membership is, but I would guess considerably less than 400 nationwide. So that about sums it up really, never in a month of Sundays would one hundred activists from across the board come together because they do not have the membership base to start with. The best hope for the future would be that some sort of loose alliance between UKIP, Reform UK, Reclaim and the SDP should be formed, so that elections can be fough under one banner and under one overall leader.
Colin I share exactly the same recollections of my time of UKIP activism.
My view is that we are in a far more dangerous place now than the period leading up to the referendum. On this basis, it may be reasonable to assume that 100 activists of various centre Right parties per constituency is realistic. On GB News last night Richard Tice claimed hundreds of Tories have joined his party over the last few weeks! I sincerely hope UKIP SDP and the Heritage Party have increased their membership numbers correspondingly.
A chap I was talking to in the pub last night said he had joined UKIP but I had given him a mini-manifesto to read which must have promted him into action.
It is beyond me how anyone can claim to have centre Right political outlook and not be a member of a centre Right party.
Jake………I wouldn’t hold too much credence on what Richard Tice says about hundreds of Tories joining Reform UK in the past few weeks, because he has said similar things before. I would think it highly unlikely that Reform UK would join a loose alliance of centre right parties if it ever it came to pass, because he would want to lead it, and quite frankly there are better leaders out there leading other centre right parties who could do a better job of bringing everyone together under one umbrella. I have come across two people in the past week who were previously Conservative voters, but have joined the SDP as members, so I do think there is some movement away from the Conservatives going on, and who can blame them. However, it is all very well reporting that hundreds of people have joined this and that party over the past few weeks, but I would want to see some evidence that those parties were in the process of setting up local constituency parties. Without those in place, they don’t stand a hope in hell of getting anyone elected.
COP27:
Sunak is far too willing to give away our money on the flimsiest of reasons, presumably to curry favour with his globalist chums. Clearly he, as expected, is not behaving as our PM but yet another globalists’ puppet.
As for the ongoing green nonsense here is an interesting article on the emerging problems with electric vehicles. It seems the owners are being made to take part in longer term tests which the manufacturers should have carried out. Also, by the way, they are far from “green” as we might have expected:
https://dailysceptic.org/2022/11/08/dramatic-recent-increase-in-u-k-electric-vehicle-battery-explosions-and-fires/
Of course all such issues are acceptable to those striving to impose world government and may actually assist in the UN population reduction plan…
Jack………I agree, but let’s face it since when was Sunak a Conservative. I truly don’t think he knows the meaning of the word, and a more apt description of his political direction would be Liberal at best. However, I think he would be more at home in the Labour Party but on the right wing of it, just like his former next door neighbour of Downing Street, that blond buffoon called Johnson. And another thing, Sunak said he regretted Gavin Williamson’s resignation, come off it the man is a prize twerp. I refuse to address him Sir, because like Starmer he has done nowt all to warrant that accolade. However, getting back to Williamson in my opinion he is totally unsuited to holding high office of any type. He has too loose a mouth, doesn’t think of the consequences of what he says and does, and quite frankly speaks like a teenager. It just goes to show by his appointment, that there is a real lack of talent within the Conservative Party and the House of Commons at large.
Curry favour. Good one..
The midterms should be done and dusted by now but it seems that the US electorate are being asked to be patient. Delay seems to be the tactic to cheat now and there have been strange instances of voting machines breaking down, people being told they’ve already voted, fraud in other words, the fix is in.
We’ll have to see what happen over the coming days maybe weeks but it’s not looking good. This is tragic, the most powerful once democratic country in the world is probably being subjected to a second coup, a coup is exactly what it is if the people are denied their democratic choice of leaders.
(hope this is not a repeat – problems posting at this site for some days)
flyer- agreed. ‘pre-polling’ surveys as the Americans would say, had the dems ‘losing bigtime’. The betting, another sort of opinion poll similarly had the landslide for the Rep party.
Went to bed with a handful of sets declared – even-stephen.
Wake up today and there is talk of the loathsome speaker having the casting vote.
No doubt all above board!?. Nothing to see here. Move along now.
As it says in rap songs – meet my 38.
From mary’s posting above, perhaps they are preparing a major distraction just in case the fix fails. Nigel spoke on last night’s programme to an Arizona County Sheriff, an archetypal ‘wild west’ good guy that I thought no longer existed outside reruns of The Lone Ranger. From his wide knowledge interacting with the community he had no doubts Kari Lake would sweep away Hobbs and potentially become running mate to Trump. But so far Hobbs is ahead in his county, and Channel 10 in Phoenix flashed up the result in favour of Hobbs, 12 days before the election. Go figure. Well we saw a judge refuse a Republican request to hand count ballots in their region, followed by failures of voting machines that had been specially ‘checked for their integrity’ (yeah, right) a few weeks ago. And the Washington Examiner calling the ‘red wave’ a ‘red puddle’. There is so much at stake; we know the globalists would move Heaven and Earth to prevent a Republican resurgence under Trump, and it begins to look like they have.
