FMJRA 2.0: Not Thinking About Baseball For Once

Posted on | November 24, 2024 | Comments Off on FMJRA 2.0: Not Thinking About Baseball For Once

— compiled by Wombat-socho

I spent most of last week grinding on continuing education for the upcoming tax season and then yesterday got the news that my aunt Pat (Dr. Patricia O’Malley) had died peacefully in her sleep Saturday morning. My cousins, for reasons best known to themselves, decided to hold her memorial service and interment on Black Friday morning, and I can’t scrape together enough miles, credits, and cash to make it there. (N.B.: I am not asking for money.) So baseball hasn’t been the last thing on my mind, but it’s been a good way down the priority list.
Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley et Hamas delendam sunt.

I keep telling myself this but deep inside I’m not buying it.

NBC News Misinterprets Evidence Democrats Stole the 2020 Election

Posted on | November 21, 2024 | Comments Off on NBC News Misinterprets Evidence Democrats Stole the 2020 Election

On Wednesday, November 6, the day after Election Day, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter was full of Democrats wondering about the “missing” votes — Kamala Harris’s vote totals were remarkably lower than the 81 million that Joe Biden supposedly got in 2020. This provoked all kinds of paranoid conspiracy theory comments among liberals, none of whom seemed to consider the obvious alternative: Maybe Joe really didn’t get 81 million votes. Maybe “ballot harvesting” and other Democrat shenanigans in 2020 really did amount to a stolen election. But only right-wing extremists could think such a thing.

According to the Associated Press, the 2024 numbers are:

Trump — 76,722,404 votes (50%)
Harris — 74,169,608 votes (48.3%)

According to Wikipedia, the 2020 numbers were:

Biden — 81,283,501 (51.3%)
Trump — 74,223,975 (46.8%)

It is not merely that Harris got some 7 million fewer votes than Biden, but rather than the total number of votes cast was lower by about 5 million. Who were those disappearing voters? Why would so many people not even bother to vote this year? Good luck coming up with an explanation for this that doesn’t include the possibiliity that what Democrats did in 2020 was to manufacture millions of fake votes for Joe Biden.

So now we turn to today’s NBC News “analysis”:

A new analysis of precinct-level data by the NBC News Decision Desk shows the extent to which President-elect Donald Trump’s wins in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania — and Vice President Kamala Harris’s losses — were driven by weak turnout in heavily Democratic cities.
Going into Election Day, Harris’s clearest path to victory was to win all three states in the old “blue wall.” Ultimately, she fell short in all three, and the nearly completed vote count in those states shows how the number of votes compared to 2020 dropped in some of the most Democratic-friendly areas of those states. . . .
[I]n all three states, heavily Democratic counties . . . had worse turnout relative to 2020 than the heavily Republican counties . . . The largest county in each state — Wayne County, Michigan, home of Detroit; Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania; and Milwaukee County, Wisconsin — had either the worst or second-worst shift in votes cast of any county in their state.

Hmmm. Read the whole thing and you will find no attempt to explain why turnout was so much worse in these “heavily Democratic cities,” because this might lead to questions about why these “heavily Democratic cities” had such phenomenally high turnout in 2020. What happened in 2020 that did not happen in 2024? Well, four years ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg poured millions of dollars into so-called “non-partisan” tax-exempt 501(c)3 organizations that sought to maximize turnout, and this year, not so much. My suspicion is that the “Zuckbucks” get-out-the-vote operation in 2020 amounted to wholesale election fraud using what Steven Kruiser has derisively called “Magic Mail-In Ballots.”

Why didn’t the same thing happen in 2024? Well, first of all, Republicans raised hell about election integrity and Democrats, realizing that they couldn’t get away with running the same game again, refrained from the most egregious practices that had tainted 2020. Also, however, Zuckerberg stopped pouring out money (or certainly did not spend as much as he did in 2020) for the Democrat ballot-harvesting gangs.

If you’re wondering why Zuckerberg lost his enthusiasm for helping Democrats steal elections, perhaps the date of October 7, 2023, might be viewed as the decisive factor. Why should a Jew spend his money to help elect Democrats, if Democrats are going to support murderous Jew-hating terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah? Not that Zuckerberg has now become some kind of right-winger or anything, but the scenes of “progressives” chanting pro-Hamas slogans almost certainly was a factor in his waning enthusiasm for funding “progressive” organizations.
