Democrat Vote Totals Republican Vote Totals
2012 65,889,660 60,932,152
2016 65,853,514 62,984,828
2020 81,284,666 74,224,319
2024 71,874,583 75,132,230
Biden’s 2020 vote total of over eighty-one million was obviously an aberration, particularly since he campaigned from his basement.
Where did those other ten million votes Biden received go for Harris? Only about a million went to Trump, but that still leaves over nine million votes that stayed home. Or…perhaps never existed.
Still not convinced of voter fraud in the 2020 election? Wrap your head around the fact that Harris did not win one state that requires voter ID. Every state Harris did win requires no voter ID.
These facts add to the claim the Democrat party pilfered the election in 2020, but were prevented from doing so in 2024 when rules were changed so they couldn’t cheat. This was why Trump recommended everyone vote early so that the Democrat party could not gauge how many “extra” votes they needed to bring in at two o’clock in the morning.
OK, water under the bridge, but this points out that we need to overhaul our voting systems. We need voter ID in all states, Federal voting holiday, paper ballots, and election day voting only. No write-in votes or ballot harvesting should be allowed.
The silly racist claim that Black folks can’t get an ID is hogwash. For the many situations one needs an ID for in this country, it’s absurd to say there are voters who have no ID. If someone doesn’t own an ID they should a) be looked at suspiciously for fraud, and b) not be able to vote.
Speaking of Trump, it’s interesting watching his cabinet and staff selections. I’m hoping he calls me to be Transportation Secretary, but alas, my phone hasn’t rang yet. There have been some interesting selections made and a few I will have to take a wait-and-see approach.
Susie Wiles was selected first as Chief of Staff. She was Trumps senior campaign adviser and now the first woman in history to hold the title. It has been said she was an excellent choice.
My favorite appointment is the irascible Tom Holman as Border Czar. He’ll come in with a mandate to kick butt and in interviews it seems he has psyched himself up for it. When ICE starts deportation proceedings in Illinois, it will be popcorn worthy for the battle that will play out between Holman and Illinois’ Governor, “Toilets” Pritzker. I’m betting on Holman.
Mike Huckabee for US Ambassador to Israel. Trump believes Huckabee can bring peace to the Middle East. Short of the second coming of Jesus, methinks peace won’t happen in our lifetimes, regardless of what a great guy Huckabee is.
Mike Waltz as National Security Director is someone I don’t know much about. A former Green Beret, Trump states Waltz will be an expert on threats by China, Russia, and Iran.
Pete Hegseth, from Fox News and an Army National Guard officer, has been nominated as defense secretary. Not sure about this one.
Lee Zeldin, who I really like, will head up the Environmental Protection Agency, in charge of rolling back just about anything that has Biden’s name on it. Zeldin is a lawyer, a past member of the House, and an officer in the Army Reserve.
Other nice appointments are Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Kristi Noem for Homeland Security, and Elsie Stefanik as Ambassador to the United Nations. (Hopefully, Ms. Stefanik’s first act will be to withdraw us from the UN and shutdown their New York headquarters.)
I’m wondering what Trump has in mind for Tucker Carlson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and Robert Kennedy Jr. What I would like to see with these gents:
Carlson – Media Czar and/or Press Secretary. It would be his responsibility to crack down on the media and social media. Love to see him interact with some of those jackals in the press room.
Ramaswamy – Government Bureaucracy Czar. His mission would be to reduce the size of the government.
Musk – AI Czar, to harness AI for the benefit America.
Kennedy – Pharma Czar in charge of bringing the prices of prescription medicines under control and promote wellness programs for all.
I would preface this to put four year term limits on these “Czars” and a mandate to sunset all four positions in eight years. We don’t need to create large bureaucracies with these positions either.
Update on the 2020 election. The Babylon Bee is reporting Democrats are now admitting they stole the election and Trump actually won. Therefore, he is not eligible to be the president in 2024.
