What Is ‘Ballot Harvesting,’ And How Did
California Dems Use It To Nuke The GOP?
by Scott Morefield
{dailycaller.com} ~ As the polls closed on election day last month, six California Republican House candidates, including Representatives Dana Rohrabacher, Steve Knight, and Mimi Walters... were ahead in their respective races. However, as the absentee and provisional ballots rolled in over the intervening weeks, all six lost to their Democratic opponents. The case of Korean-American GOP candidate Young Kim was one of the most prominent examples. On election night, Kim held an 8,000 vote lead over her Democratic opponent Gil Cisneros, and even attended freshman orientation in Washington, D.C. before watching her lead, and her victory, slowly evaporate over the subsequent weeks.The results drew the attention of House Speaker Paul Ryan. “California just defies logic to me,” said Ryan at a Washington Post live event. “We were only down 26 seats the night of the election, and three weeks later, we lost basically every California contested race. This election system they have — I can’t begin to understand what ‘ballot harvesting’ is.” The stunning turnaround in California, of all states, can be attributed to several factors, as conservative critics like The Federalist’s Bre Payton wrote, but the most significant of those seemed to be the practice of “ballot harvesting.”....

Police recommend charging Netanyahu
with bribery, fraud in Case 4000
by YONAH JEREMY BOB
{jpost.com} ~ The Israel Police recommended indicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara on bribery, fraud and breach-of-public trust charges on Sunday... in the corruption investigation known as Case 4000. Sunday's recommendation is another setback for Netanyahu's legal woes, as in February police recommended Netanyahu be indicted for bribery and breach of trust in Cases 1000 and 2000. Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit gave his permission for the publication of the recommendations and will make the final decision on whether to indict Netanyahu. "The police recommendations have no legal standing," Netanyahu said in response to Sunday's announcement. "But they are not surprising." "I am sure that, even in this case, the relevant authorities, after examining the matter, will reach the same conclusion: that there will be nothing because there was nothing," Netanyahu added. Police Chief Roni Alsheich issued the recommendations on his last day in office - a parting shot in one of the most tense prime minister-police chief relationships in years. There are two premises to the police recommendations in Case 4000 against Netanyahu....
The Hill’s John Solomon: At Least Four Previously
Unknown Spies Tied To FBI Or Western ICs
Tried To Infiltrate Trump Campaign
by Elizabeth Vaughn
{redstate.com} ~ Investigative Reporter John Solomon has confirmed that at least six informants with long-established associations... to the FBI or to US or Western (British and Australian) intelligence and two Russians made contact with Trump business and campaign officials between March and October 2016. Solomon said the informants told Trump associates “they had possible political dirt or stolen emails harmful to scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, or unsolicited business in London or Moscow.” Solomon obtained this information by conducting over 50 interviews with witnesses and by reviewing court records. It’s noteworthy that “several of the contacts occurred before the FBI formally launched a legally authorized probe into the Trump campaign and possible collusion on July 31, 2016.” This is especially significant because the FBI or the intelligence agency involved may one day be called upon to explain the reason for the contact. Or maybe that’s too much to hope for. The names of most of the individuals contacted are familiar: Donald Trump Jr., Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, Carter Page, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Sam Clovis and General Michael Flynn. Solomon’s new information indicates that at least four additional, previously unknown spies tried to infiltrate the Trump campaign or his inner circle of business associates. We’ve known that the informants included Professor Stefan Halper, Russian businessman Hank Greenberg, former MI6 agent Christopher Steele and former FBI informer Felix Sater. But Solomon was able to uncover at least four others whose names have not been made public. He said he was asked by US government officials not to reveal their names to “avoid compromising their identities or nexus to intelligence and law enforcement work.”...
Only hanging the senator will satisfy the Dems
by Wesley Pruden
{jewishworldreview.com} ~ When you're losing an election and you're not sure there's anything you can do about it, the modern Democrats have a sure-fire strategy: Cry "racist!!" with not one but at least two exclamation points, and count on the history illiterates in the media to do the rest. It works nearly every time.
One place it does not appear to be working this time is in Mississippi, where a nice lady with a gift for saying graceless things, Cindy Hyde-Smith, is locked in a run-off with a former member of scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton's Cabinet for a seat in the United States Senate. The Democrat is Mike Espy, a former Mississippi congressman who is also a former secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Espy is further a black man, and this opens delicious possibilities for Democratic strategists, activists, opportunists, influence peddlers and other campaign camp followers.
Mrs. Hyde-Smith, following a tradition of Republican Senate candidates who can't keep a talking point straight for stepping on it with their size-12 wingtip brogans the shoe size does not apply to ladies made a little joke in thanking her host at a campaign event the other night. "If he invited me to a public hanging, I'd be on the front row."
This was tasteless if anyone took it for more than a casual exaggeration posing as wit: "I appreciate my host so much I'd be grateful for anything he gave me, even a ticket to a hanging."
The Democrats thought they had an unexpected killer issue now, and they have tried to paint Mrs. Hyde-Smith as a fan of a lynching black folks. This was Mississippi, after all, where even the most upright business and professional man keeps a coil of seagrass rope in his briefcase just in case he sees a black man on the run. He could organize a modest public hanging and still make it home on time for supper.
There is no evidence that Mrs. Hyde-Smith ever proposed attending a public hanging, of a black man or a white man, either, though someone could no doubt make a killing, so to speak, by staging hangings of white men, perhaps on Boston Common, in Central Park or in any of the places where tolerance, sisterhood and even brotherhood are practiced and appreciated. Neither is there evidence that Mrs. Hyde-Smith is a racist or a bigot or a woman of heinous character, beyond the fact that she is of the white persuasion and might have had a relative, like many Southerners, who wore the gray. scumbag/liar-Bill Clinton does, and so does Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, even if he is not a Southerner.
The hue and cry, code language on the left for demanding a lynching of Mrs. Hyde-Smith, was heard even in far-away Kalispell, Montana, by the editor of the morning newspaper. "You could certainly make the case that it was a foolish thing for her to say, but that does not make it racist," writes Frank Miele, the retired editor of the Kalispell Daily Inter Lake. "Public hanging' generally refers to a lawful execution, not to lynching, and there is ample evidence that public hangings in the late 19th and 20th centuries were indeed attended by those who had received a written invitation." Such invitations usually came from the sheriff or other public official.
Allison Meier, who writes about capital punishment and the etiquette of a hanging, observes that "the extreme refinement of the invitations [of that era] seemed to be trying to take some of the barbarism out of death.
The opening scene of Charles Portis' classic novel "True Grit" and two movie versions of the book, opens onto a public hanging of five men on a gallows erected on the lawn of the Sebastian County Court House in Fort Smith, Arkansas. When the doomed men are asked for their last words they gave testimonies of regret and repentance as if they were the central attraction of a frontier revival meeting. The spectators included men and women, some of them black and Indian in a curious melting pot of what we would be obliged today to call "diversity."
No state has done more to make public amends for its past history of slavery a custom introduced by slavers largely from Massachusetts and lynchings, Jim Crow and other barbarisms. Cindy Hyde-Smith's remark is innocent except to those who think there is no innocence among those who disagree with them about politics, culture and American values.
The high crimes and misdemeanors attributed to Mrs. Hyde-Smith only grew when it emerged that she once allowed herself to be photographed wearing a replica of the hat of a Confederate ranger. Together with an admiring word for the memory of Robert E. Lee, this would have been evidence enough for a public hanging.
These are hard times for the sane. Ignorance is enshrined, folly and illiteracy reign all around us. But we're a resilient nation, and this, too, shall pass. It must.
