From today's DOJ news release:

"A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned an indictment today charging three executives of an election voting machine and service provider company and a former Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Republic of the Philippines for their roles in an alleged bribery and money laundering scheme to retain and obtain business related to the 2016 Philippine elections.

"According to the indictment, between 2015 and 2018, Roger Alejandro Pinate Martinez, 49, a Venezuelan citizen and resident of Boca Raton, Florida [and president of Smartmatic], and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, a U.S. citizen and resident of Davie, Florida, together with others, allegedly caused at least $1 million in bribes to be paid to Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 60, the former Chairman of COMELEC. These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value added tax payments.

"The co-conspirators allegedly funded the bribes through a slush fund that was created by over-invoicing the cost per voting machine for the 2016 Philippine elections. To conceal and disguise the nature and purpose of the corrupt payments, the co-conspirators used coded language to refer to the slush fund and caused the creation of fraudulent contracts and sham loan agreements to justify transfers. The co-conspirators then allegedly laundered funds related to the bribery scheme through bank accounts located in Asia, Europe, and the United States, including in the Southern District of Florida."

One of the other 4 indicted along with Smartmatic President Piñate is Elie Moreno, age 44, a Venezuelan.

Moreno is brother-in-law of Antonio Mujica, also Venezuelan, who was previous president of Smartmatic and reportedly Smartmatic's largest shareholder.

Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign drove down concern about his mental acuity by eight points, resulting in about 200,000 votes for Biden. Remember, Biden won by fewer than 200,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin combined. 2020 was rigged and we have to keep 2024 from being the same.

And Kamala has NOT done a press conference yet!

Trump in 2021, speaking about Glenn Youngkin:

“He’ll make Virginia really the envy of the world, you’ll watch.”

Well, Youngkin just issued a HUGE Executive Order mandating all paper ballots for the 2024 Election.

Is this what Trump was foreshadowing? 🤔

Those “2020 election lies” sure are sounding pretty truthful right about now, eh?

Conspiracy theorists are undefeated.

The head of the IOC says there's just no way to know if someone's a man or a woman so if only someone would give them a system to do it. And then he keeps digging. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Holy fucking clickbait, Batman.

The article even says its been downgraded to a tornado watch and there was no tornado. FFS. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Gov. Youngkin's EO 35 is pretty darn great.

Here's what it does:

- 100% paper ballots which provide a physical record of the voter's intent
- Use of paper ballot counting machines, not voting machines
- Strict chain of custody for ballots with daily reconciliation during early voting
- Application required to receive a mail ballot - no mass mailing of ballots
- Counting machines tested prior to every election
- Counting machines not connected to the internet
- Drop boxes under 24/7 monitoring

Here's what has already been done in the lead up to this EO being issued:

- Removal of almost 80k deceased voters from the rolls requirement of a full 9 digit social security number, proof of identity, and proof of legal status when registering to vote.
- Audits of list maintenance practices
- Regular National Change of Address mailings to identify voters who no longer live in VA
- Streamlining of process of removing deceased voters, improving access to databases, and comprehensive auditing of voter rolls

To no one’s surprise, the “conspiracy theorists” were right again.

It appears as if Biden most certainly had a pretty serious medical episode on the evening of July 17th in Las Vegas.
