Israel vs Hamas and America vs Progressive Democrat Election Cheating : Both Israel and America Must Win

THE NEWS TODAY IS TROUBLING ON MANY FRONTS. The disgusting mess that Democrats have created in Florida because they lost the Senate and Governor elections is an indication that the United States is no longer dealing with normal political opposition but with a fascist cabal determined to bring down not only two Republican election winners but also constitutional government in America. And, at the same moment, we are watching Hamas fire hundreds of rockets into Israel, in what can only be described as the Middle East version of a fascist cabal of terrorists trying to bring down not a particular Israeli government, but the entire nation of Israel. • • • MASSIVE HAMAS ASSAULT ON ISRAEL. The story was told by Israel Today. More than 300 rockets and mortars fired from Gaza rained down Monday evening on southern Israel, including one that hit a bus, seriously injuring a young soldier, aged 19, who was on the bus. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded by launching attacks on Hamas sites in Gaza. The bus was hit by what was identified as an anti-tank missile. Moments earlier the bus had been full of some 50 soldiers who had just gotten off the bus before the missile struck. At least 29 Israelis were injured by shrapnel and flying glass, and dozens traumatized, the public broadcaster Kan reported. Rockets directly hit a home in Netivot, and homes were hit in Sderot and Ashkelon, where the house caught fire. A gas leak in Sderot next to a corner supermarket was ignited by a rocket and firefighters were working to put out the fire. A gas depot in Sderot also took a direct hit. An apartment building in Ashkelon was hit by a rocket, injuring several people. Approximately 60 of the rockets fired from Gaza were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system. Extra batteries had arrived in the area earlier in the day following clashes on the border after an Israeli army special forces operation was exposed on Sunday night. The rockets began falling at 4:30 PM, with more than 100 fired by 6 PM and set off Code Red sirens throughout southern Israeli communities. The IDF called on residents of Gaza border communities to remain in place in their bomb shelters and safe rooms, and on the residents of the northern Negev, including Beersheba, to remain near their shelters. • In retaliaton, the IDF ussued a statement saying that it had struck more than 20 Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets in Gaza -- later revised upward to more than 70 -- using warplanes, combat helicopters and tanks. Targets included military compounds, observation posts and high-trajectory rocket launcher, according to the military. On Monday evening, Israeli bombers destroyed the Hamas-affiliated Al Aqsa TV station, after firing warning missiles, to encourage the evacuation of the building. Palestinian sources reported that three Palestinians, including two members of the terrorist organizations Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and one from Islamic Jihad, were killed in the strikes. IDF spokesman Brigadier-General Ronen Manelis and < https://youtu.be/2Z9RSeVeFKo >. • Israel Today's Yochanan Visser wrote on Tuesday that : "The Israel Defense Forces are preparing to call up reservists, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Ronen Manelis told reporters on Tuesday morning. The Israeli army said the move is expected to be executed on Tuesday afternoon and will be restricted to the mobilization of 'vital forces' for now. However, the IDF also announced that the mobilization could be 'expanded' if needed." Visser called the mobilization "a clear sign Israel is preparing for another war against Hamas and the other Palestinian terror groups in Gaza." • How did this situation come about? Visser states : "A Palestinian terrorist from Gaza infiltrated an Israeli community in the vicinity of the security fence and set ablaze a greenhouse before being arrested by Israeli security forces. The incident was followed by a shoot-out between an elite undercover unit of the IDF and members of Hamas’ military wing Izz-a-Din al-Qassam in the area of the Palestinian town of Khan Younis in Gaza on Sunday night. The secret intelligence- gathering operation went awry when members of Izz-a-Din al-Qassam spotted the IDF unit and tried to stop the private car they were traveling with. In the ensuing shoot-out, 7 Hamas terrorists were killed, among them Nour Barakeh, a Qassam Brigade commander who reportedly was in charge with Hamas’ terror tunnel project and served as the commander of Hamas’ regional battalion in Khan Younis. On the Israeli side 'Lieutenant Colonel Mem' -- as he was called by the IDF apparently for security reasons -- a senior Druze IDF commander was killed during the battle which involved Israeli warplanes and helicopters which came to the rescue of the exposed soldiers. In response to the botched IDF operation in Gaza Hamas started to pound the Israeli communities and towns in the Gaza belt with rockets." • • • IS QATAR AT FAULT? Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short his visit to Paris where he attended the centennial of World War 1. Netanyahu, who on Sunday said he would do his utmost to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and allowed Qatar to deliver $15 million in cash to the impoverished enclave, immediately started consultations with the top of the IDF after arriving in Israel. Hamas, meanwhile, used the funeral of the 7 slain terrorists to ignite the Palestinian street and organized a mass demonstration against “the occupation.” • Gatestone Institute wrote on Tuesday : "The renewed Hamas attacks on Israel serve as a reminder that the terrorist group is not interested in a real truce. Hamas wants millions of dollars paid to its employees so that it can continue to prepare for war with Israel while not having to worry about the welfare of its people. Qatar's $15 million cash grant has failed to stop Hamas from launching hundreds of rockets into Israel. On the contrary, the money has only emboldened Hamas and increased its appetite to continue its jihad to eliminate Israel. All the money in the world will not convince Hamas to abandon its ideology or soften its position toward Israel. What the international mediators need to understand is that there is only one solution to the crisis in the Gaza Strip: removing Hamas from power and destroying its military capabilities. They also need to understand that there is only one language that Hamas understands: the language of force. The assumption that if you pay terrorists millions of dollars, they will stop attacking you -- rather than using the funds to build up their forces -- has proven to be false....What is clear is that it was Hamas, not Israel, that initiated the armed clash with the Israeli force....Why did Israel facilitate the transfer of the Qatari cash to the Gaza Strip? Israel has been -- and still is -- trying to avoid an all-out war with Hamas. Israel is not afraid of Hamas. Israel simply does not want the Palestinian civilians living under Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip to pay another heavy price for the foolish acts of their leaders. Israel, in fact, has repeatedly expressed a desire to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinians there. In recent years, Israel has been actively working to support reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli measures include the upgrading of the border crossings between Israel and Gaza to more than 800 truckloads of building materials and other goods to enter Gaza on a daily basis, and facilitating the passage of more than 3.4 million tons of materials into Gaza since the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas. Earlier this year, Israel presented to the EU, US, UN, and the World Bank various projects that were approved by the Israeli government to develop infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, promote energy solutions and create employment opportunities for the Palestinians there. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended last week's deal with Qatar by saying that he would do...'whatever I can' to keep Israelis living in communities adjacent to the border with Gaza safe, while at the same time working to prevent a humanitarian crisis. Hamas took Qatar's $15 million cash grant, paid its employees, and days later has resumed its terrorist attacks against Israel. This is Hamas's way of saying thank you to the Qataris and Israelis who have been working hard to reach a truce in the Gaza Strip and avoid another war -- one that is likely to cause more suffering to the two million Palestinians living there. Hamas has clearly interpreted the goodwill gesture of Israel and Qatar as a sign of weakness. Hamas leaders have even gone on the record as saying that the $15 million grant was the 'fruit' of the weekly violent riots that it has been organizing along the border with Israel since March. Shortly after the Qatari envoy delivered the grant to the Gaza Strip, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum used those very words : he boasted that the Palestinians were finally reaping the fruits of their violent protests along the Gaza-Israel border....The conclusion was that a real truce between Israel and Hamas can be achieved only after the Palestinian jihadi terrorists are removed from power, and not rewarded for violence and threats."

Everyone calls for a truce and control of both Hamas and Israel, but everybody except the US will soon revert to lambasting israel for whatever it does -- whether humanitarian or defensive in nature. Israel Hayom reported on Monday that Israel has suspended its participation in the Egyptian-mediated truce talks with Hamas, Israeli media reported Tuesday, quoting an Israeli official who said it was "time for action, not talks." Earlier Tuesday, the United Nations said it was working with Egypt to broker an end to the latest round of violence between Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip and Israel "to ensure that Gaza steps back from the brink." It called for an end to rocket fire and restraint "by all." UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Monday called for calm and for restraint, a UN spokesman said : "He urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint. United Nations Special Coordinator Nickolay Mladenov is working closely with Egypt and all concerned parties to restore calm." • Also on Monday, US special envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt strongly condemned the Hamas leadership in Gaza over the recent escalation : "Terrorists in Gaza are again attacking Israel with tools of war. These rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli towns must be condemned by all. Israel is forced once again into military action to defend its citizens. We stand with Israel as it defends itself against these attacks. Hamas' activities continue to prove they don't really care about the Palestinians of Gaza and their only interest is to use them for political purposes. Even Palestinian lives seem not to matter to Hamas. The world has grown tired of Hamas' violence and the violence of other bad actors in Gaza. This violence prevents any real help for the people of Gaza." • France's Foreign Ministry also condemned the indiscriminate rocket fire from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip : "France utterly condemns the large number of rockets intentionally fired in recent hours from the Gaza Strip toward communities in southern Israel, for which Hamas has taken responsibility. France expresses solidarity with the populations who were affected and in particular the families of the victims. France asks for the immediate cessation of these activities that are unacceptable and unjustified and calls on all sides to avoid a new cycle of violence in which the civilian population is the first to suffer. Our diplomatic representatives are following the situation carefully and are prepared to provide help to any of our countrymen who might need assistance." • EU Ambassador to Israel Emanuele Giaufret tweeted that he was "following with great concern the situation and the indiscriminate firing of rockets toward the south of Israel. Attacks on civilians are unacceptable and need to stop. Everyone must step back from the brink." • The World Jewish Congress also posted on Twitter, saying : "We stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel. We call on the international community to condemn these attacks and to urge Hamas to halt hostilities before more lives are claimed. These acts of terror must stop." In a statement, WJC President Ron Lauder said : "In the last few hours, Hamas terrorists have fired hundreds of rockets at southern Israel, in a deliberate attempt to terrify residents and inflict maximum damage. These cowardly acts of terror must stop immediately. We call on the international community to unilaterally condemn these attacks and to urge Hamas to halt these hostilities before more lives are claimed." Lauder said the organization "sends its deep condolences to the family of the IDF officer killed in these clashes, and wishes a full recovery to those wounded. We stand in solidarity with all Israelis at this difficult time." • Israel Hayom wrote on Tuesday : "Hamas and Islamic Jihad realize that Israeli leaders want quiet at almost any cost and are averse to anything that could spark an uncontrollable conflagration. This has all but destroyed the foundations of Israeli deterrence....This equation has to be changed. We must continue to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and in the same breath signal to the terrorist organizations that Israel is not afraid of an escalation, even at the cost of terminating cease-fire efforts. There is no need to conquer the Gaza Strip -- there are other ways to achieve the goal and restore deterrence." • Unfortunately, Israel Hayom doesn't offer any "other ways" to deal with Hamas, or its Iranian handlers who are being supported financially by the same sorry lot of lamenters in Europe and the UN who are now wringing their hands about the predictable result of that support. • • • JEB BUSH AND BRENDA SNIPES AND THE FLORIDA ELECTION WAR. The Washington Times wrote on Tuesday : "The problem is that Florida is awash in votes, found and counted for delivery just when the Democrats need them. And when the Democrats need them, Broward County is the place to go to get them. Mzz Snipes apparently has so many votes, presumably Democratic votes, she doesn’t know where to put them. One box was found stashed away in a storage room at an elementary school, and it was not even show-and-tell day at the school. Another box was found in the trunk of a car at the Fort Lauderdale airport. Mzz Snipes is by all accounts both corrupt and incompetent. This has made her nationally infamous. Jeb Bush, the former governor who appointed her, now wants someone to get rid of her. But after she was appointed by him to succeed another corrupt supervisor, she won re-election four times. 'There is no question that Brenda Snipes as the Broward County Supervisor of Elections failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts,' Mr. Bush says, 'undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process. Supervisor Snipes should be removed from office following the recounts.' ” • We might say of Jeb that he has learned his lesson -- too late. His first appointee -- Miriam Oliphant -- violated election law by destroying paper ballots after 12 months instead of the legally mandated 22 months. She posted some election results even before the polls closed. Oliphant left quietly after she was suspended for “grave neglect, mismanagement and incompetence,” BUT Snipes refuses to go or obey court orders. She does her job through corruption and incompetence. The Miami Herald reported that an election worker found several bags of “uncounted early ballots” in the Broward County office. Nobody could be sure where the uncounted bags came from, or where they were supposed to go. Snipes, meanwhile, was busy mixing rejected and accepted provisional ballots all together. • • • THE OUT-OF-CONTROL FLORIDA ELECTION PROCESS.This may seem like small potatoes compared to the Hamas threat to Israel's existence, but it is threatening to make the entire US electoral system appear to be criminal by not providing results that match voter choices. Florida GOP Senator Marco Rubio argues for Snipes's dismissal : “Bay County was hit by a Cat 4 Hurricane just 4 weeks ago, yet managed to count votes & submit timely results. Yet over 41 hours after polls closed #Broward elections office is still counting votes?...."She has shown she’s incapable of conducting a large and important election in a way that inspires public confidence and trust. She’s been found to have destroyed ballots, in violation of the law. Opened absentee ballots early, in violation of the law. Misprinted ballots that have gone out." • President Trump himself has gone after Snipes, telling reporters Friday, “She has had a horrible history...and all of a sudden they’re finding votes out of nowhere.” • Conservative GOP Representative Max Gaetz of Florida has also called for Snipes’ removal : “The outrageous ballot-counting issues in Broward County are un-American and unacceptable. I call on Governor Scott to immediately suspend Brenda Snipes, Supervisor of Elections for Broward County. She has failed to follow state transparency laws during this election, and has a long history of misconduct, including preemptively destroying ballots." • Governor, and now probably Senator-elect, Scott told Fox News : “There’s no transparency....You have to assume the worst here. We already won it once. We have to win it twice now in the courts.” Referring to himself as the state’s Senator-elect, Scott voiced disbelief at the sheer number of votes discovered in Broward County since election night : “How do you come up with 78,000 more votes in one county?...The Democrats are trying to steal this seat." In a parallel suit against Palm Beach County, Scott and the NRSC charge that the election supervisor there illegally used her own judgment to determine voter intent when reviewing damaged or incorrectly filled-out absentee ballots, while refusing to allow impartial witnesses to monitor the process. Scott's complaint against Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher alleges first that officials there illegally refused to allow Republicans, or any witnesses, to monitor the county's handling of damaged absentee ballots. "Even more alarmingly," Scott claims, Bucher "failed to allow the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board" to determine, as required by law, which damaged or improperly filled-out absentee ballots were valid and how the voters of those ballots had intended to vote. Instead, Scott and the NRSC argue, Bucher and her staff simply used their own judgment when determining voters' intent. The suit against Bucher demands an injunction requiring Bucher to make and compare duplicate copies of all damaged absentee ballots in the presence of Scott's representatives, and to allow the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board to determine voters' intent when counting those ballots." • Democrats are being represented in Florida by lawyer Perkins Coie lawyer Marc Elias -- known for his role in being paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee to hire Fusion GPS to create the Trump Russia Dossier. Elias announced a lawsuit Friday on behalf of Nelson over vote-by-mail ballots. Trump took aim at Elias in a tweet Friday. President Trump responded to Elias being hired by the Democrats : “As soon as Democrats sent their best Election stealing lawyer, Marc Elias, to Broward County they miraculously started finding Democrat votes. Don’t worry, Florida -- I am sending much better lawyers to expose the FRAUD!” • And, as if they opponents were quarreling children, a judge on Monday told both sides to tone down the rhetoric : “These words mean things these days, as everybody in the room knows,” Chief Judge Jack Tuter lectured lawyers for both Governor Rick Scott, the GOP’s candidate for the Senate, and Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson. “Everything the lawyers are saying out there at the elections office is being beamed out across the country. We should be careful what we say.” The judge turned down Scott’s request to “impound and secure” all voting machines in Broward County’s election headquarters when they’re not being used to recount ballots. Instead, he suggested beefing up security at the site to ensure that there was no tampering with ballots or equipment. • • • CAL THOMAS ASKS WHAT IS GOING ON IN FLORIDA. Cal Thomas is America's most widely syndicated op-ed columnist. On Monday, he wrote : "What’s the matter with Florida?....With lawyers descending on the state in what looks to some like a replay of the 2000 'hanging chad' presidential election, an automatic recount has been triggered for both contests. President Trump and other Republicans are crying foul and accusing Democrats of trying to 'steal' the election. Given the history of voter fraud in this country and the heavily Democratic makeup of Broward and Palm Beach counties, their suspicions may be justified. Snipes has engaged in other behavior that has raised concerns about her competence and nonpartisanship, including again in 2016 when she “accidentally” posted election results 30 minutes before polls closed. Vote-stealing isn’t new. After the initial vote count in the 1948 Texas Senate race, which saw Lyndon Johnson losing to his opponent Coke Stevenson by 20,000 votes, previously 'unreported precincts' and other 'adjustments' were made in the vote totals. Johnson came out the winner by a mere 87 votes, earning him the derisive title 'Landslide Lyndon.' In the 1960 presidential race, which saw the tightest popular vote margin since Grover Cleveland defeated James Blaine in 1884 by just 23,000 votes, Republicans claimed Richard Nixon was robbed. As Politico reported in a 2016 article, 'In Illinois, (John F. Kennedy) won by just 8,800 votes, largely due to margins in Chicago, where Mayor Richard Daley -- a Kennedy stalwart -- tightly controlled the Cook County organization. In Texas, home of his running mate, Lyndon Johnson, the Kennedy-Johnson ticket won by a margin of 46,000. Had Nixon carried both states, he would have won the Electoral College, 270 to 252.' In the 2008 Minnesota Senate race between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken, Coleman won the election by the narrowest of margins. According to CNN, 'The initial count from the November 4 election put Coleman, a first-term Senator, 215 votes ahead of Franken.' The slim margin triggered an automatic recount. The canvassing board finally determined that Franken 'won by 225 votes.' After Franken was sworn in, a conservative group called Minnesota Majority began investigating claims of voter fraud. The group found 1,099 felons, all of them ineligible, had voted. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky note in their book 'Who’s Counting? : How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk,' most felons favor Democrats when they can vote. Which brings us back to Florida. With vote margins in the races for governor and Senate so tight, Republicans are worried that history will repeat itself. Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of Elections in Broward County, has held her job for 15 years. Her history, to put it charitably, has been checkered. Last May, a judge ruled that Snipes violated federal and state election laws when she destroyed ballots in the 2016 congressional race in which Tim Canova lost a primary contest to incumbent Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In August, a judge ordered Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret. Snipes has engaged in other behavior that has raised concerns about her competence and nonpartisanship, including again in 2016 when she 'accidentally' posted election results 30 minutes before polls closed. The recount process will be anything but pleasant. Snipes and others who are responsible for this dysfunctional, incompetent and possibly criminal behavior should be replaced, the sooner the better for Florida and for the country." • • • DYSFUNCTIONAL, INCOMPETENT, POSSIBLY CRIMINAL US ELECTIONS. Cal Thomas calls out the crux of the issue of voting in the US today. The voting irregularities are for now focused in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and perhaps Texas and parts of the northern midwest. But, the inquietude extends far beyond the localities affected. • Democrat Senator Nelson is demanding that mail-in ballots received after election day be counted. • A state judge on Friday sided with Florida Republican Rick Scott in ordering that Republicans be granted “immediate” access to requested information about ballots in Broward County, amid explosive lawsuits against the county’s top election official. In their lawsuit against Broward, Scott -- the Republican gubernatorial incumbent narrowly leading in the state's race for a US Senate seat -- and the National Republican Senatorial Committee allege that officials there are hiding critical information about the number of votes cast and counted. In an emergency court hearing on Friday afternoon, state Judge Carol-Lisa Phillips ruled there has “been a violation of the Florida constitution,” as well as the state’s public records act, by not turning over requested records. Phillips ordered Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes to allow for the “immediate inspection” and “photocopying” of the requested records no later than 7 p.m. Friday. Snipes did not comply but may finally be giving access to some ballots cast in Broward County. • Thus, when a judge in Florida tells both sides of the recount / re-recount / found and lost ballots / criminal management scandal in Florida to 'cool it with the rhetoric,' he is not just speaking to one state and he knows it. • Republican protesters have carried signs outside Brenda Snipes' office for several days that read “Corrupt Snipes!!! Lock Her Up!,” “Busted Brenda” and “I trust (Michael) Avenatti more than Brenda!” while shouting at election officials, counter-protesters and the news media. “Brenda needs to be fired! She needs to go! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” screamed a New Jersey retiree living in southern Florida. “She can’t hide from us! I hate that woman.” Another yelled into a bullhorn, “Supervisor of corruption! Show your face!” Fox News spoke to others who demanded that Snipes, a Talladega, Alabama, native who has lived in Florida since 1964, be fired. A few went a step further and said she should be indicted. “She needs to go,” one man wearing a Trump T-shirt said. The President has himself said Snipes “has had a horrible history.” Lawyers for the candidates are fighting it with words as their lawsuits pile up. • The Miami Herald reported that an election official in Bay County said he allowed some displaced voters to cast ballots by email or fax though there are no rules that allow for it in state law. Bay County Supervisor of Elections Mark Andersen told the newspaper he accepted 11 ballots by email and 147 by fax -- something that’s only allowed for voters overseas. It is unclear what the fallout -- if any -- will be from the admission. Andersen said that the email and faxed ballots were verified by signature and that voters were required to sign an oath before submitting the documents. “If I can validate it with a signature, the ballot is there, how is that different than a ballot that comes in through the post office?” • Anderson is not in the legislature. He cannot "make" law himself. But, that is what's going on right now in Florida. Local election officials are interpreting and applying election law to suit their personal agenda. That cannot go on for long before the entire Florida --- and other state -- elections fall into total disarray and US citizens decide not to bother voting OR take to the streets in massive numbers to protest the catastrophic collapse of America's state voting systems. • • • SOROS MONEY IS IN FLORIDA WORKING FOR DEMOCRATS. Breitbart reported this week that : "Demand Justice, an organization founded by former members of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and associated with a 'social welfare organization' financed by billionaire activist George Soros, is helping to organize volunteers to aid Senator Bill Nelson’s campaign with the Florida recount. Demand Justice sent out a blast email asking for 'volunteers to help out in a variety of roles in the recount process, including observing at polls, data processing, and logistics organization.' The group advertised that it is seeking supporters who are either in Florida or who can travel there. The email linked to a signup form on Nelson’s campaign website asks for volunteers in the following areas : Observing the counts; scheduling volunteers and staff; data processing; general logistics; and outreach." Breitbart states that Demand Justice, "which formed earlier this year, took center stage when it helped lead opposition to President Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh." Demand Justice came under news media scrutiny for its refusal to disclose its donor list. The Associated Press reported : "Demand Justice was formed just a few months ago and is structured in such a way that it doesn’t have to file annual tax returns. That’s because it’s 'fiscally sponsored' by a tax-exempt social welfare organization called the Sixteen Thirty Fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund files federal tax returns but doesn’t have to disclose the identities of its donors. A recent Daily Caller investigation found that Soros’s Open Society Policy Center (OSPC) previously donated some $2.2 million to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the fiscal sponsor for Demand Justice. The Sixteen Thirty Fund describes itself as providing a 'fiscal sponsorship vehicle for donors to direct capital toward social welfare projects that include advocacy, lobbying, and some political and electoral activities.' Demand Justice was founded by Brian Fallon, who served as press secretary for Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. The group’s digital team is headed by Gabrielle McCaffrey, who was a digital organizer for Clinton’s campaign. Working at Demand Justice is Paige Herwig, a former Judiciary Committee aide to Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). Prior to her stint with Feinstein, Herwig served as counselor to Attorney General Loretta Lynch. According to emails released by the Justice Department, Herwig was included in a chain of emails crafting the initial media response into Lynch’s infamous tarmac meeting at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in which former President Bill Clinton, the husband of the FBI’s main subject in a criminal probe, boarded the attorney general’s plane and reportedly stayed there for about 20 minutes. Demand Justice’s formation was encouraged by former Obama White House counselor John Podesta, who served as chairman of Clinton’s latest presidential campaign. 'We have ignored this field of battle for too long,' Podesta told the New York Times regarding Demand Justice." Breitbart reported that : "Even before Trump announced Kavanaugh as his nominee, Demand Justice committed to spending about $5 million to oppose the eventual nominee. The organization seeks to raise $10 million in its first year. In a recent interview with the New York Times, Fallon would not comment on the source of the group’s financing, but the newspaper noted that he was a featured speaker at the conference of the Democracy Alliance, a grouping of progressive donors. Democracy Alliance’s founding donors include Soros and billionaire Tom Steyer. Indeed, Fallon’s panel at Democracy Alliance was moderated by Sarah Knight of Soros’s Open Society Foundations. Democracy Alliance directs donors to leftist groups, including the ACLU, the Women’s March, Media Matters for America, and reportedly the radical Indivisible group known for storming Republican townhalls. Democracy Alliance highlighted anti-Trump organizations to donors in a 'resistance map' suggesting which activist groups would be opportune for funding. Already, Indivisible received funds from donors and coalitions associated with Democracy Alliance financiers, the New York Times reported." • • • WHY ARE REPUBLICANS SO ANGRY? GOP Governor Rick Scott was up by 50,000+ votes on Election Day in the US Senate race and incumbent Senator Bill Nelson conceded. Now they have “found” so many votes that Scott is only up 15,000 votes. AND, in the Governor's race, Democrat Tallahassee Mayor Gillum conceded on Election Day and now Broward County has put him “back into play.” No wonder Florida Senator Marco Rubio sees this as a growing case of voter fraud in Broward County : "How can anyone have confidence that the #BrowardCounty election supervisor will be fair when last night she made clear her personal animus toward Gov. Scott & towards the states top law enforcement agency when she claimed he “owns” the #Florida Department of Law Enforcement?" President Trump then thanked the Florida Senator for his input : "Thank you @marcorubio for helping to expose the potential corruption going on with respect to Election Theft in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. The WORLD is now watching closely!" • National Review's Jacke Fowler wrote in his Weekend Review : "I suspect that few in the national press have yet grasped the scale of what happened in Florida last night. This midterm was a disaster for the Florida Democratic party on every conceivable level -- a disaster with which Democrats here will be contending for years. In addition to sending Rick Scott to the Senate and Ron DeSantis to the governor’s mansion, to electing the Republican in every other statewide race, and to ensuring that Republicans continue to control both chambers of the legislature, Floridians voted “Yes” on Amendment 5, which inserts into the state constitution a requirement that any increase in taxes or fees must be (a) presented in a standalone bill, and (b) approved by two-thirds of the legislature. Given that the state has no income tax -- and, indeed, that it has the lowest overall tax burden of any of the heavily populated states -- the combination of these results all but ensures that Florida will remain a low-tax, low-spending place for the foreseeable future. Exit-poll data from Florida, meanwhile, reveal even further inaccuracies in the left-wing vendetta against white women. Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis bested Andrew Gillum among white women by just a four-point margin and also managed to win 40% of Hispanic women. Governor Rick Scott, challenging Democratic senator Bill Nelson, won white women by six points and likewise nabbed 40% of Hispanic women in the state. Democrats have conveniently ignored the latter part of these statistics; it’s safe to erase minority women, after all, when their voting habits don’t serve the narrative." • David French of National Review concludes the results boil down to this : "Democratic fears have come to pass....And when Senate Democrats launched their frontal assault on Brett Kavanaugh, it was hard to think of a strategy better calculated to rouse Republicans in red states to oust their Democratic senators. No amount of professed moderation could compensate for a 'No' vote on Kavanaugh. No amount of professed moderation could compensate for the fact that a Democratic Senate would be under Progressive Democratic control. Here is what smart Democrats now know. While the 2018 midterms did swing the House (and did demonstrate that Donald Trump is in real danger in 2020), they also secured a continuing judicial revolution and -- critically -- raised the specter that the Democrats could win the White House in 2020 and still be stymied legislatively and judicially by a Republican Senate. Republicans elected for the purpose of securing the judicial branch will not be eager to consent to confirming a string of Progressive judges nominated by a Progressive President. They will not pass single-payer health care. They will not pass gun control." • Michael Brendan Dougherty says no one should ignore this election takeaway : “All the big races that excited passion in the national press and from progressive fundraisers ended in the Lost column.” From his piece : "Governor’s races were also bad for the Left. In the Florida governor’s race, Democrat Andrew Gillum linked his opponent, Ron DeSantis, to racists and white supremacists. Progressives gleefully shared these 'dunks' on Twitter. Gillum lost narrowly, as conservative voters passed constitutional amendments making it harder for legislators to raise taxes. Former president Obama poured time and energy into Georgia for Stacey Abrams. She lost, hoping for a runoff, while Progressives charged her Republican opponent Brian Kemp with vote suppression. Ben Jealous lost in Maryland, and so did David Garcia in Arizona. The House was worse. Yes, Dems elected kid-socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. But that victory had been assured once the Ds’ primary was over. She ran practically unopposed in a safe district. But lots of the young Progressive stars couldn’t pull it off: Kara Eastman in Nebraska, Katie Porter in California, Scott Wallace in Pennsylvania, and Dana Balter in New York all went down." • • • DEAR READERS, When the ProgDems realized they were losing badly in the mid-terms, they turned to Florida -- the state that is a pillar in the Republican bastion but which has a recent history of voter fraud and corruption in some Democrat counties. That is what is going on in Florida. The Progressive Democrats are trying to make up some ground in the US Senate and in the governorship of Florida, BUT, they are really trying to kill the Republican Party and make it impossible for President Trump to win in 2020. • If you are still naive enough to think that the Florida election mess is a purely local affair -- consider this -- Progressive Democrat-pandering MSNBC flashed a graphic on screen Monday night of the vote totals for the Florida gubernatorial race that showed the Democratic candidate in the lead. The problem being, of course, that the election is held on Tuesday. Fox News contributor Sara Carter tweeted a link to a Deadline article reporting that the network “briefly put a graphic onscreen that showed ‘vote counts’ for the Florida gubernatorial race -- you know, the one being held tomorrow.” Carter posted : “MSNBC accidentally shows false results of Tomorrow’s election that has not happened in Florida showing socialist Gillum in slight lead against ?@RonDeSantisFL? Wishful thinking? What do you think.” • If you are still naive enough to believe htat voter fraud is being blown way out of proportion -- consider this -- The conservative group Project Veritas has released a shocking video that shows a poll worker admitting that “tons” of illegal immigrants voted in this year’s midterm elections in Texas. Watch the video at < https://twitter.com/twitter/statuses/1059928406735929346 >. Texas Governor Greg Abbott promised to investigate the situation, he tweeted : "I can’t verify if this is accurate. I CAN verify that it will be investigated and if it IS accurate, illegal votes will be tossed out and wrongdoers will be prosecuted.” Abbott wrote on Twitter. Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe responded by offering proof to the Attorney General’s Office : "I can testify to this video’s authenticity. This was recorded on Election Day in Texas. @Project_Veritas is able and willing to assist in providing any materials to the Attorney General’s office!" • SO, while Israel is fighting against missiles on its Gaza border, Americans are fighting election corruption in Florida. If either Hamas in Gaza or the ProgDems in Florida win, the result will be the collapse of Israel, the only US ally and democratic country in the Middle East, in one case and the collapse of the United States as the democratic leader of the world, and the only real ally of Israel, in the other case. Neither can be allowed to happen.
