Cheating in the open
A Democratic election official in Pennsylvania defied a court order and sought to have about 600 illegal ballots in defiance of state Supreme Court rulings. Her name is Diane Ellis-Marseglia and she is a Bucks County Commissioner. She was one of two commissioners trying to aid Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in a recount vs Republican Dave McCormick, who leads by about 17,000 votes. How screwed up can things be in the most important swing state? They are trying to do a recount and the ballots from election night still haven't been counted. PA has an idiotic rule that says the early ballots can't be counted until election day. the AP has already called the race and although Casey has every right to a recount, there aren't enough uncounted ballots to overcome McCormick's lead.
Now after coming under fire from all quarters, Ellis-Marseglia is apologizing:
So, the question asked by one woman at the meeting remains:
Why is only one side held accountable?
I think nothing happens to this election cheat.
What say you?

Good morning
D emocrats confirmed two more Biden judicial nominees to lifetime posts Wednesday in narrow votes, in part due to the absences of Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN).
The votes took place as Republican senators faced pressure from conservatives and President-elect Donald Trump to return to Washington to help thwart Democrats from confirming more of President Joe Biden 's nominees to lifetime posts as federal judges. If the two senators had voted, the nominees would not have been cleared Wednesday because Vice President Kamala Harris would have been unavailable to break the 50-50 tie.
Democrats confirm two more Biden judges as GOP senators fail to show up
It is a mad dash to appoint as many radical judges as possible before the end of the session.

Remember when colleges were mostly populated by male students?
Per progressives, this is proof of systematic sexism and should be the basis for lawsuits.
I know it! Lol!
Vic, I don't get your point here. Should women not go to college?
Men are discriminated against. Especially white men. More especially Christian white conservative men. That will be the national theme for the foreseeable future.
I think teenage boys should be given a leg up in their educational endeavors - as soon as they pledge to stop listening to Joe Rogan. Anything else would be counter - productive.
The point is there isn't discrimination by gender, but run with another ignorant comment.
You dont have a point.
Only if they are looking for an educated husband from a good family.
I made my point quit clearly.
Bucks county trying to steal an election, in the open. Usually they have the decency to do it behind close doors and at least try and make elections look legitimate
Don't ask, don't tell.
They would never do such a thing!
The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations , sources tell The Post.
And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes.
The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.

There was a cease fire in place on 6 October 2023. That same cease fire was violated (yet again) by Gaza on 7 October 2023. A cease fire is useless. All it does is allows the terrorists to regroup and rearm to attack again.
That's about it.
I wonder how many remaining hostages are still alive?
I doubt there are many still alive.
The ones who were released long ago were in poor condition.
I lost count of how many were found deceased.
Three were killed when they were about to be freed.
Hamas armed wing says 3 hostages were killed in Israeli operation in Gaza | Reuters
"Killed in Israeli operation" my fat ass. AND one is a US Citizen? I have absolutely no sympathy for Gaza, Lebanon and the rest of the terrorists.
In other words, they were about to be freed so Hamas killed them.
That's how I see it.
Remember this:
The bodies of six hostages held by Hamas have been recovered in an underground tunnel in Gaza, Israel’s military said Sunday. The captives, including an Israeli American , were among the more than 200 people taken by the militants into Gaza following their deadly cross-border rampage on October 7.
Five of them were taken from an Israeli music festival where hundreds were killed and dozens more were kidnapped by Hamas fighters. The sixth was captured from a nearby farming community, according to the Hostages Families Forum, which has coordinated efforts to highlight the plight of the captives and their families, and push for their release.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said their bodies were found in a Hamas-run tunnel under the city of Rafah, and that they were “brutally” murdered “a short while” before troops were able to reach them.

Believe it or not:
She is admitting that black Americans need a helping hand to be able to do pretty much everything.
She must be someone who has lived all the taxpayer most of her life.
And the rest of us need a good slap, evidently.
And that my friend is how you identify the true racists.
Pretty easy when they out themselves in public.
I can't be the only one to notice that she is part of the party that oppressed blacks and is not smart enough to put it together.
It is truly amazing that the political party that once favored slavery can somehow pander to the same group of people every election cycle and getting the lion's share of that vote.
Haven't you heard the amazing magic trick? the party of the klan who still thinks African Americans are inferior have convinced their ignorant followers that the parties have switched. Gullible doesn't cover it.
it's probably due to the optics of those sheet wearing white supremacists waving trump flags ... /s
Well, you see, LBJ who got a lot of Republicans to back the Civil Rights Bill, told us all that he would have them (let us not use that word) voting democrat for the next 200 years. The left-wing fact checkers say there is little evidence to back up the mysterious "quote."
It is interesting.
Oh....good come back. That worked for you so well in the last election, make sure to keep it up.
America not electing their best.
Clearly American leaders haven't been appointing their best.
All those great credentials and we ended up with FEMA playing politics, a DOJ that goes after political enemies and an FBI that investigates parents and Catholics.

The progressive Georgia district attorney who was prosecuting nursing student Laken Riley’s illegal immigrant killer refused to seek the death penalty even after removing herself from the case — drawing outrage when the defendant was sentenced to life without parole.
Athens-Clarke District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez, who appointed a special prosecutor to take over the prosecution of Jose Ibarra at the end of February amid criticism over her own prosecutorial record, laid out her soft-on-crime reforms when she assumed office in January 2021.
Gonzalez said her office would “no longer seek the death penalty” and when considering charging defendants, she would “take into account collateral consequences to undocumented defendants,” according to a copy of the district attorney’s policies shared by Georgia state Rep. Houston Gaines (R-Barrow).

Lefty Georgia DA in Laken Riley case faces outrage after killer migrant avoids death penalty
And with that Gonzalez should be removed from her position.
How did we get all these social warriors in DA positions?
Anyone?
I am not a proponent of the death sentence, due to the cost of the measure.
It costs more per prisoner for a prisoner to be put in 'death row' than it costs to handle a prisoner with a life sentence. As the average time spent between sentencing and execution reached 233 months in 2021, or 18.5 years. The average annual cost for a prisoner is $33k and the average annual cost for a prisoner in 'death row' is $60k to $70k. Of course the cost varies from state to state, and the annual cost at a federal prison is close to $40k. At double the cost, a LWOP prisoner must be incarcerated for 39 years to break even on the costs. The average prisoner sentenced to LWOP dies at 64 years. As Ibarra is 26, should he die at 64 he would be incarcerated for 38 years.
While I can understand why some people would prefer the death penalty to be carried out as it definitely insures that the person in question can never break that law again, I am against the death penalty from a simple math equation. It's cheaper to house a Life Without Parole prisoner than to keep them on 'death row'.
That is a valid argument. Another is the one that Truman Capote made many years ago, which is that the US gives those sentenced so many appeals that is equates to unusual punishment because they are left in limbo for so long.
IT's the method that makes it expensive. A rope is only a few dollars at Ace Hardware. But if that's too "inhumane" for those who should not be drawing breath, then there is another option.
I believe it was George Carlin that mentioned putting executions on Pay Per View. That would probably draw in enough funding to cover the cost.
No, I disagree with you on that. What makes it so expensive is the special considerations and additional guards necessary for 'death row' AND the complex and time-consuming appeals procedures that are mandated by a death sentence.
Ahh, a fan of the 'Death Race' movies I see.
I could actually favor it being on the evening news as an educational segment. If it convinces even one person who otherwise might think they could get away with the crime, it might be worth it. But the appeals process would need to be fixed and we need to insure that there are no faulty convictions. Only then would I be in favor of the death sentence as fixing the process would decrease the high price.
The whole process can be changed. It would be a long, drawn out process to do, but it can be done.
I agree completely.
Maybe we can have the FBI investigate these horrible citizens / S
