Election avoided? Bennett and Shaked
walk back resignation threat
by LAHAV HARKOV
{jpost.com} ~ Bayit Yehudi abandoned its threat to leave the coalition if Education Minister Naftali Bennett is not made defense minister... in statements by Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked at the Knesset Monday. This development leaves Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon as the sole coalition partner calling for an early election, making it far less likely than it had seemed in recent days. Kahlon’s spokesman said the minister’s position had not changed, and he still believes a one-seat majority destabilizes the coalition and leaves it open to blackmail and “anti-fiscal bills” from backbenchers. “If the prime minister is serious in his intentions, I am saying now: We are removing all political demands and standing here to help Israel win again,” Bennett said. “It’s better that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu beat me in politics than Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh beat Israel in the battlefield.” The Bayit Yehudi leader made his statement in response to remarks Netanyahu made the night before, saying holding an election now would be irresponsible and a result of petty politics, and vowing that he is protecting Israel’s security and he has a plan of action against Hamas. Bennett and Shaked backed down after a week in which the Knesset seemed headed for an election, with Avigdor Liberman resigning from the Defense Ministry and pulling Yisrael Beytenu from the coalition, and Bennett immediately demanded to replace him. Netanyahu said there is no need for an election, but Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon called for an election to take place as soon as possible, and Interior Minister Arye Deri and Bennett joined the call. But Deri retreated from his remarks on Sunday, and on Monday, Bennett did the same... https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Election-avoided-Bennett-and-Shaked-walk-back-resignation-threats-572245?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=20-2-2018&utm_content=election-avoided-bennett-and-shaked-walk-back-resignation-threats-572245.
Lincoln and Thanksgiving: The Origin of an American Holiday
by Melanie Kirkpatrick .
As we said Friday, Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election have nothing on Democrat schemes to undermine election integrity.
Clearly, Florida has some work to do to shore up election laws. But Georgia may be the more troublesome state. Abrams rose to prominence by running massive voter registration drives in order to flood Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s office with perhaps fraudulent registrations, only to cry racism when Kemp, who also happened to be her gubernatorial opponent, worked to sort it out.
That narrative is so key to her entire campaign that she isn’t going to let it go in defeat. She’s launching a political action committee called Fair Fight Georgia, which she will use to wage a legal battle. “Let’s be clear: This is not a speech of concession,” Abrams said. “In the coming days, we will be filing a major federal lawsuit against the state of Georgia for the gross mismanagement of this election and to protect future elections from unconstitutional actions.”
In her speech announcing she wouldn’t actually concede but rather found “no further viable remedy,” Abrams also expounded her narrative: “Trust in our democracy relies on believing that there are good actors who are making this happen. And [Brian Kemp] was a horrible actor who benefited from his perfidy. That’s problematic. … Will I say this election was not tainted, was not a disinvestment and a disenfranchisement of thousands of voters? I will not say that.” Abrams admonished her supporters not to give up just because the process was “as rotten and rigged as you’ve always believed.”
Furthermore, the abortion-supporting Abrams added, “Something being legal does not make it right.”
Georgia voters best prepare for future election cycles to replay this manufactured grievance, as Democrats work to rally their urban Atlanta base with fairy tales of voter suppression in hopes of turning the Peach State blue.
P.S. Remember when Democrats lambasted Donald Trump for musing that he might not accept the 2016 election results if scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton’s corruption and voter fraud won the day? Those same Democrats went on to create a two-year narrative of “Russian collusion” to undermine Trump’s victory. They’re using that playbook again in Georgia. “If [Abrams] had a fair election, she … would have won,” scumbag/liar-Clinton declared. As usual, scumbag/liar-Clinton’s account of What Happened isn’t exactly reliable. ~The Patriot Post
