It’s RINOs like this that are allowing the Democrats to destroy our Nation!

First of all, these are not opinions. They are facts – though whether you choose to believe them is, really, of no concern to me.

Second, regarding “every day common ordinary horse sense.” The claims you made immediately after using that phrase do bear some resemblance to that which is produced by a horse. Specifically, from the rear, just beneath the tail. For example, “Soros-appointed judges.” Seriously? The very notion that George Soros is, in any way, authorized to appoint judges, let alone that he has, is simply absurd.

Third is, frankly, more of a personal question: You said: “My problem is that you can’t see any of this corruption….” Tell me; how is what I can, or can’t, see your “problem” at all? In fact, how is it even any of your business? You assert that there’s corruption, yet you offer not a scintilla of evidence that might support any such corruption. In other words, in fact oafish words, with the likes of you in mind: You sayin’ so, ain’t makin’ it so.

Fourth, regarding the Dominion lawsuits, the reason I “failed to mention” anything about dropped lawsuits is very simple. No lawsuits have been dropped. Dominion Voting Systems has filed a total of eight separate defamation lawsuits, against the various individuals and organizations I mentioned, NONE of which have been dropped, dismissed, settled, nor lost. In November, certain sources reported that the suit against Fox had been dropped, because another suit had been lost. Both of those claims are entirely false.

Incidentally, for sake of clarity, there are actually two separate lawsuits against Fox. One is against the parent Fox Corporation and Fox Broadcasting; the other is against Fox News Network, LLC, the subsidiary company of the parent. In addtion, both suits name five individuals (Mario Bartiromo, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, and Jeanne Pirro) as respondents. Both of these lawsuits remain active, and, at this point anyway, it appears they’ll be headed for trial. I would add that settlements are extremely rare in defamation suits, because the case is not about money. It’s a reputational concern, and a valid one at that; no amount of money can repair the damage to their reputation. Consider the facts: Prior to the 2020 election, very few people had ever even heard of Dominion. Now, the company name is one of the widely known in the nation, if not the world – but for entirely nefarious reasons, caused entirely by these defendants.

Meanwhile, you asked “where do [I] think a company like Dominion gets [their] backing?” What “backing?” The fact that, in 2016, Dominion Voting Systems served over 70 million voters in over 1,600 jurisdictions, in 28 states, speaks for itself, and serves as its own backing. And then, Cyber Ninjas, and “just a little corruption for what happened to them.” What happened to them has nothing to do with corruption. Yes, they’re being fined $50,000 a day. Do you know why? My hunch is that you don’t know, and yet you’ll claim that you do – whether you actually know or not.

Well, here’s what I know: When the state that hired you asks you to release the documents, you release the documents. When you refuse, and the state takes you to court, and the judge orders you to comply, you comply. And if you refuse to comply, the judge puts the hammer down. And rightly so. Cyber Ninja has absolutely right to withhold those documents. and no proprietary rights to the data therein. And as I’d pointed out, the AZ State Senate debunked nearly 80 of the claims made by Cyber Ninjas. Corruption? Or fraud? How about conspiracy? Racketeering? Perjury? More to the point, what was the result of the audit? No evidence of widespread fraud. Good God; how many times does one need to look into an empty pail before you see it’s empty?

The bottom line of all this is a sad, undeniable fact: Tens of millions of American no longer fully trust the election process, and untold millions will never, ever regain any sense of trust. It’s been absolutely, totally destroyed. Voting is the most basic means – and in many cases, the only means – by which a citizen can actively participate in their own governance. And it’s been compromised. Who knows how many people will never vote again, as long as they live? Actually, you expressed the sheer magnitude and the profound long-term ramifications of this problem in three little words “Ain’t gonna work.” Because, no matter how any of this is resolved, for those millions of never-again voters, there is no resolution. It ain’t gonna work, ever again.

The very functioning of our government has always depended on \a certain amount of trust. It’s implicit; we’ve always trusted our government, because we’ve never had a reason not to. My biggest fear is that, from now on, we’ll need a reason to trust our government. And there’ll be no reason. Instead, untold millions of Americans will find their own reasons to NOT trust our government. When that happens, our government won’t be ours, and it won’t be a government at all. America will surely be destroyed.

Clearly, we’re headed in that direction. Each half of the country is already blaming the other half for destroying us all.

You haven’t been educated by that university—You’ve been brain washed by it –you just can’t see–You’ve been playyyyed.

Mark, some of your facts need to be set straight. Start with Arizona. You said “the Arizona state senate issued a scathing report, debunking nearly 80 of the company’s claims.” Incorrect. The rebuttal of Cyber Ninja’s report was written and issued by the Maricopa County Elections Department. The very entity under the microscope in the investigation replies saying everything in the investigation is wrong. There is a surprise, a government body being investigated denying everything. As you read their report you will find a common phrase (Cyner Ninja’s did not understand Arizona law. They have no idea what Cyber Ninja’s understood about the law, yet they use that claim throughout. Most notable in the rebuttal is that the Elections Dept. has no real rebuttal related to double counted ballots. Thye try to deflect and speak to the subject of double votes, but that is not what Cyber Ninjas reported. Last, it was an action of the court from a lawsuit filed by an advocacy group that resulted in a heavy fine, not action by the Senate.

Testimony during hearings in the Michigan legislature from people who filed affidavits provides insight into how double counting of ballots can happen, and likely did happen. The actual ballots are scanned for entry into the Dominion voting machines. Scanners jam, and according to testimony, jam often. The procedure when a jam happens is take the last ballot and place it on the unread pile and continue scanning. Witnesses testified the poll workers were placing the jammed ballot on the entire pile and rescanning, producing duplicate ballots, which the machine then counts. According to further testimony, the poll workers were told they were in error, but continued what they were doing. Supervisors did not correct the error, according to testimony. Was this just human error? Should it have been investigated? Yes, it should have. Could this have happened in Arizona? Yes, and other locations as well. Should it have been investigated? Yes. How is it investigated? Look at the printout of ballots and the original ballots, a full audit. Did that occur? Only in Arizona, well after the election.

The Arizona Senate sought to find out if election procedures failed. Despite media reports, they were not trying to prove Donald Trump won. If that was their goal, the ballots reported to be duplicated or otherwise questionable would have been counted to determine the effect on the election. The Cyber Ninja audit found issues with the processes. After reding the Maricopa Election Departments rebuttal, it appears there are several processes that need work,

Conspiracy. Conspiracy for what? Before January 6th persons connected to Donald Trump working toward a challenge of the election results (completely legal) were looking into the Electoral Count act of 1887. Did they endeavor to use a legal process to legally challenge the 2020 election results? It appears they did. Does using a legal process to bring a legal challenge to the Floor of the Electoral Vote Count constitute a Conspiracy? Absolutely not.

Did Donald Trump, his campaign, or advocates contact and coordinate with parties that committed acts during the riot that resulted in felonious activity on the part of those groups or persons. The FBI finds no connection. Were those groups or persons committing the act of ‘insurrection’? The FBI has announced there is no evidence of insurrection or sedition. According to the FBI, a small number of persons engaged with 2 or 3 groups did coordinate a plan to break into the Capitol, but the FBI found they had no plans once inside the Capitol. No persons or groups had weapons to undertake a government takeover (insurrection). To summarize, there was no ‘insurrection’.

Questions related to a conspiracy are still unanswered though. Why did leadership within the House and Senate deny multiple offers from the Administration, authorized by President Donald Trump himself to provide National Guard troops at the Capital? Why did Capital Police open barricades and doors into the Capital Building? Who within the House and Seante were responsible for denying the offers for National Guard protection?

The January 6th Committe will try to confuse and use misdirection to make people believe there was a conspiracy by Donald Trump and his associates. They will not investigate their own failures, opening the door for some to believe they are conspiring and covering up.

We will see who will succeed and who will fail. We might find out if the Justice System is apolitical. We all should hope the latter is true.

You seem a bit peevish. If there’s anything I can do to further aggravate or infuriate you, I’m only too happy to comply.
