This blog is dedicated to finding the truth, exposing the lies, and holding our politicians and leaders accountable when they fall far short of the promises that they have made to both my fellow Alaskans and the American people.
The republicans backed down to not certification and the election results have now been certified. Mostly because of public uproar. Donnie claims there were more votes than people, that’s alright donnie because he won MI in 2016 because there were more people than votes in Detroit.
Also someone posted the facebook or twitter feed of one of these republicans with vile photo shopped photos of Obama, so we know why he wanted to “eliminate” Detroit.

US Senate blocks Trump’s controversial Fed candidate
4 more years: Trump freezes 2024 presidential field
The president’s flirtation with another run for president is already making problems for the Republicans preparing for 2024.
….. While Trump’s loss was supposed to trigger a Republican Party reset, his flirtation with a 2024 bid ensures he’ll remain the dominant force in the party and cast a shadow over anyone looking to succeed him. Even the possibility of Trump running again will impede other Republicans from laying groundwork for their own bids — lest they upset Trump and his tens of millions of supporters, many of whom are convinced the election was stolen.
The Trump campaign’s smartphone app tracked the movements of millions of the president’s supporters, gave the campaign an “intimate” view of users’ social networks, and delivered massive amounts of data that Trump will be able to use in the future, for a wide variety of purposes.
“The app lets Trump’s team communicate directly with the 2.8 million people who downloaded it — more than any other app in a U.S. presidential campaign — and if they gave permission, with their entire contact list as well,” the Associated Press reports.
Even as Donald Trump keeps pretending he’s going to magically win the election, the media has largely insisted that Trump is about to launch some big new venture or a 2024 campaign. Of course this is all nonsense, because Trump is only facing two things once he’s out of office: criminal charges and financial squeezes.
So it’s good to see that the Wall Street Journal has published a lengthy new expose on the various criminal and civil actions that Trump and his family business are about to face once Trump is out of office. To be clear, the dismantling of Trump’s life is surely already underway, whether the media has caught up to it or not. But the more the media focuses on this reality, the less room Trump will have to fill the narrative with fantasies about remaining in office.
The cold hard reality is that Donald Trump is going to end up using what’s left of the transition period to try to give himself a softer landing with regard to the prison and bankruptcy he’s facing. He’ll try to pardon himself. He’ll try to fleece even more money for himself out of the Treasury. This is where our focus should be, not on entertaining Trump’s fantasies about magically remaining in office.
Trumpworld’s Insane New Claim: Mafia Rigged the Vote for Joe
The claim was far fetched: that the Philly mob delivered thousands of votes for Joe Biden. The person claiming it was even less believable: a known misinformation merchant.
A Buffalo blog notorious for peddling election misinformation has captured the attention of top Trump supporters with a bizarre tale of the Philly mob swinging the election for Biden.
“President Donald Trump tweeted Tuesday that he’s fired Chris Krebs, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is in charge of keeping voting systems secure.
Trump said Krebs’ firing is a direct result of CISA issuing a statement that it had found no evidence of votes being deleted, lost, changed or compromised at all in the 2020 election, which Trump lost to Democratic challenger Joe Biden. ”
Trump had to do it himself because his toady, Chad Wolf, refused to do it.
“Department of Homeland Security acting Secretary Chad Wolf is defying President Trump’s order to terminate election cybersecurity official Christopher Krebs, multiple sources tell The Post.
The White House on Wednesday evening instructed Wolf to fire Krebs after Krebs openly dismissed claims of voter fraud in the Nov. 3 election.
“He gave us a bunch of reasons why he didn’t want to do it and he said no,” a senior White House official told The Post about Wolf’s refusal.”
I expect Chad Wolf will be next. After all, a judge said he didn’t have the power to do squat and was in his position illegally, then reinstated DACA.
“A federal judge in New York restored the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in an unusual Saturday ruling, writing that Chad Wolf “was not lawfully serving as acting secretary of Homeland Security” when he issued a memo limiting the program in July.”
“U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis said Wolf had no authority to issue the memo because the Trump administration had violated the “plain text” of the Homeland Security Department’s order of succession in appointing him. This is the fifth ruling against Wolf’s authority since the Government Accountability found that Wolf, his deputy Ken Cuccinnelli, and former acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan were all improperly appointed under federal laws on job vacancies.”
“The two Republicans on Michigan’s Wayne County Board of Canvassers initially refused on Tuesday to certify the county’s election results, which show former Vice President Joe Biden defeating President Donald Trump.
But they suddenly reversed their decision after hours of phone calls from the public lambasting them for trying to exclude predominantly Black Detroit from the certification.
The board first deadlocked at 2-2 with the Republicans voting against certifying the results and Democrats voting to certify. It would have been an unprecedented move by a local board to refuse to certify an election result as part of a scheme to overturn the outcome.
This ultimately aborted move came as Trump continues to falsely claim that voter fraud cost him the election without providing any evidence or specific, provable allegations of fraud. Trump has filed over 20 lawsuits challenging the election results, with disastrous results so far. He has repeatedly lost in court because he can present no evidence of fraud.
The two Republican board members ― Monica Palmer and William Hartmann ― initially stated that their refusal to certify Wayne County’s results was due to minor discrepancies in absentee poll book matches, according to The Detroit News. Similar minor discrepancies have never stopped the local board from certifying elections in the past.”
“Palmer, one of the Republicans on the Wayne County board, initially suggested that she would only certify “communities other than Detroit” that are within the county — suburbs that are predominantly white.
Hartmann, meanwhile, has shared racist memes, including about Detroit residents, and has promoted Trump’s disproven conspiracies about voter fraud on his social media accounts.”
Then Del Quintin Wilber did a little cruise through Hartmann’s social media and gee, waddayaknow? Yep, he’s a racist.
“After hearing from the public, Palmer and Hartmann reversed their votes and the board unanimously certified the county’s election results while also calling on Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) to conduct a review of poll book discrepancies.
While this episode ultimately ended with the votes upheld, it demonstrates a Republican Party, from the president on down to local officials, willing to discard the election results and steal the 2020 election, specifically by invalidating votes cast by Black Americans.”
Let’s accept reality. It isn’t the Republican Party anymore. It’s the Trumpista party, led by Hair Furor.
I’m watching The Rise of the Nazis on PBS right now and I swear with every opening episode the narrator begins, it sounds exactly like he’s describing Trump. I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

As his niece pointed out, Donald will talk but never do it, because he couldn’t face losing again.
Until there is a peaceful transition of power we don’t know if there will be a constitutional crisis or not.
Hillary warned us.
