Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News


Can the shift in black vote to Trump overcome the Democratic Party’s vote tampering?

The Democratic Party: Fostering election tampering everywhere
The Democratic Party

Today JJ Sefton in his daily morning report (also available here) included some excellent commentary about the growing polling evidence showing the black vote shifting rightward to Trump, in numbers that are unprecedented in more than a half century.

Whatever one thinks of polling especially this far out (or near, since elections are either light years away or right around the corner depending upon one’s perspective!) is an eye-opener. In normal, non-rigged elections, if Dem support from blacks drops below 93%, that is a major alarm bell for the former. What this aggregate poll [21.9% of blacks for Trump] shows is a potential disaster. Even if as we can all assume the key swing states which have large urban areas that will be rigged for Biden, the amount of cheating will have to be so massive that it would be even more obvious than what we witnessed four years ago. [emphasis mine]

I want to focus on the highlighted sentence, and try to bring some reality to it. Only by doing so will the Republican Party and Donald Trump have any chance of winning.

First, it has become quite evident in recent last two decades that in black districts where Democrats have routinely garnered 90%-plus majorities, it has been very easy for election officials in those districts to tamper with results. Many have no Republican election judges at all, leaving the Democrats free to play games with no one watching them. In some cases they even acted illegally in 2020 to block Republican poll watchers access to these voting districts.

Essentially, the Democrats in many swing states (such as Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona) have taken advantage of such urban districts to add as many votes as they need to win statewide elections. This tampering was likely the source of most of the voter tampering in both 2020 and 2022, and might have been enough to swing the election to Biden in 2020 and the Democrats in 2022. (Many believe, including Trump himself, this local tampering stole the election for Biden. I do not dispute that belief, as I also believe it very possible. It just has not yet been proven.)

These new polls however suggest that these urban black districts will no longer vote for Biden in such high numbers. Sefton assumes that this shift might be enough to overcome any cheating by the Democratic Party election officials in these districts.

I say we cannot assume this. The shift in the black vote is completely irrelevant, unless those new black Republicans show up as election judges to prevent election tampering in these formerly 100% Democratic Party districts. If they don’t, these new black votes for Trump will not be counted, or will be overwhelmed by however many fake votes can be manufactured, by the Democrat election judges who presently run those districts.

In other words, voting alone is no longer enough. If you have switched parties and live in these Democratic Party strongholds, you need to do more. You need to show up at the polls as either a new Republican election judge, or as a poll watcher.

Only by having eyes present and willing to stand firm when challenged will there be any chance of reducing the amount of election tampering by Democrats. When they claim falsely a water main leak forces them to close the poll rooms (as they did in Atlanta in 2020 in order to tabulate votes when no one else was looking), someone has to be there to refuse to leave. When they refuse entrance to the polls, new poll watchers need to be there in large enough numbers that such refusal will be impractical and impossible.

No matter what, Republicans must assume tampering will occur. Nancy Pelosi so much as told us so in a recent interview on CNN. When asked why the polls are so close between Biden and Trump, she said the following:

I think many of us know that it’s impossible for him to be the president again with what he’s proposing,” [emphasis in original]

She essentially admits the Democrats have plans to manufacture as many votes as they need to win, in the very districts mentioned above. The only way to stop them is for these new Republican voters to show up in positions of power (ie election judges and poll watchers) to stop them.

Failure Theater!
The sad motto of too many Republicans today

Thus, the task for the Republican Party and Donald Trump is not simply to convince more blacks to vote for Trump, but to enlist some to be those judges and poll watchers. Nor am I suggesting anything that is rocket science. It is basic and simple election-time policy that the political parties have been doing for the past 250 years.

Yet, one wonders if today’s Republican Party has the brains to do it. All evidence suggests those brains are lacking. And if so, Donald Trump will lose, even if he garners more than 60% of the total vote.

    “Yet, one wonders if today’s Republican Party has the brains to do it.”

    The brains, and very importantly, the will! Unfortunately, the Establishment Republicans In Name Only are only too eager to follow the Democrats, and too eager to battle the conservatives who would like to return to our founding principles.

  • Well, if race can turn the election to trump then the Democrat party will without doubt do everything and anything they can to make sure it can’t.

    “And you must understand that those who seek this new global political power structure, in order to have it fully manifest MUST gut and or make moot the American Constitution. That is just a fact given the stated agenda that no one in the Democrat party leadership seems to be pointing out. The mass of America will never willingly agree to such a Globalist proposal. And if it cannot be accomplished at the ballot box what other choice is there?”

  • How far will they go?

    Lucifer, the Democrat political warrior (you have to give her her respect) said this just the other day:

    “Pelosi says it’s ‘impossible’ for Trump to be president again”.

    And she means it. How far and what will they do? Stand by, it is not known yet.

    ANYTHING up to and including ………………….you fill in the blank.

    They will do what worked so well in 2020: manufacture a crisis. First the scamdemic followed by Floydapalooza. As Rahm Emmanuel so aptly stated: never let a crisis go to waste.

    Look for something like a stock market crash, or a wider war breaking out in the Middle East or Taiwan.

  • Jeff Wright

    The only way urban voters will be convinced of voter fraud is if Cornell West gets fewer votes than Biden in the ‘hood.

  • Darwin Teague

    My greatest fear is that President Trump will be killed, especially before he takes office.

    My second greatest fear is that he will win the presidency, but America will have passed the tipping point and there will be no way to save it.

    Also, I fear that democrats will control the House and Senate, making it impossible for him to do anything.

  • Kent Malinowsky

    the + 8M illegals under Biden represents +8M ballads which Democrats will count as votes. This is already on top of their existing infrastructure to harvest ballets. Then you have the voting machines…

    Republicans? Well by Golly we got a spiffy new website!

  • Guest

    The answer is no, because the black vote has never been real. It has always been ballot-harvesting driven voter fraud implemented by the Democratic Party. If Trump is the Republican candidate, the disparity between polling for the black vote and the actual returns for the black vote will finally expose this fact clearly enough for normies to see.

  • Cotour

    Kent: I do not know if any or all of these illegals can either sing or dance.

    But I understand what you mean :)

    This will not help at all. When the Republican poll watchers complained that they were kicked out and counting continued, in at least four different places, no one did anything at all about it. The votes were certified by the state and again certified by the U.S. Congress. When Republicans were not allowed. Despite all the vote tampering and election fraud throughout the country, the bogus votes were certified both by the states and by the U.S. Congress.

    As we saw in Arizona, the election officials have impunity to destroy the proof of their fraud. There are no consequences to their evil deeds.

    Even the courts have taken sides, allowing Democrats standing in their election complaints, such as in 2000, but denying any standing for Republicans, such as in 2020.

    When election procedures are unconstitutionally changed, without due process, to methods that the New York Times had warned were rife with possibilities for fraud, no one does anything. Those fraudulent votes were certified by the legislatures of the same states that bypassed those same legislatures, violating the Constitution, and those fraudulent votes were certified by the U.S. Congress that should protect the Constitution and ;protect the legal votes that had been cast by everyone else. Each fraudulent vote cancelled a legal vote.

    All three branches of government are complicit in America’s election fraud. We have no authority left to turn to for redress of these grievances. No one in authority will do anything about this widespread fraud. Acting as a poll watcher is a futile waste of time and effort. Being a watcher holds no power, comes with no authority, and no attention is paid to them when it comes to their duties to report election fraud. When election fraud by Democrats is detected, even on security camera, nothing is done about it at any level or by any branch of government.

    Not only are the corrupt election officials able to do their election fraud with impunity, TIME magazine bragged about how the U.S. news media did their part in rigging the 2020 election, also with impunity. No one did anything about it. Without punishment, there is no disincentive to committing the cheating and the fraud in the future, such as the 2022 election or the 2024 election.

    We are now seeing every level of government interfering in the 2024 election, boldly and publicly. Previously, it was government conspiring to remove the Tea Party movement from their First Amendment rights. Later it was the intelligence agencies and law enforcement spying on one party for the benefit of the other party and influencing the news media and social media to censor that same first party. Government has taken sides in politics.

    We are way beyond poll watchers being able to make our elections fair and right. They have no influence when fraud happens right in front of their eyes. None of us have influence when fraud happens on camera. The fraudsters are still free to do it again in 2022 and 2024 and beyond.

    Voting is just as futile, because the Democrats will find ways to negate our votes, either by throwing them in the trash, changing them through the “correction” process, sending them by USPS trucks to out of state precincts,”finding” Democratic votes in the trunks of their cars, by harvesting them during the several days that it takes to count the votes by computer (yet counting used to be complete by midnight, in the more honest days of yore).

    Government agencies known to have taken sides:
    IRS
    : Lois Lerner, et al, refusing certain groups from tax-free status due to suspected political leanings;

    FBI: Using political opposition dossier as excuse to spy on political opponent. Entrapping innocent people into pondering kidnapping the Mich. Gov. Investigating parents at school board meetings as terrorists. “Michael Flynning” Gen. Michael Flynn. Warning news media and social media that any suspicion of Hunter Biden is untrue despite knowing that it was true.

    DOJ: Selectively prosecuting Republicans and not Democrats (e.g. prosecuting Trump for non-crimes yet not prosecuting Hillary Clinton despite the FBI publicly announcing massive evidence of multiple federal felonies).

    Homeland Security: Telling social media and press what is “true” to report and what is false to stifle. Publicly abortive attempt to create a Disinformation Governance Board. (if there is Official Disinformation, there must necessarily exist Official Truths.)

    National security agencies (all): spying on President Trump.

    Congressional Police: Inviting people into the Capitol Building for tours just so that the same police can then use them for target practice, then arresting the survivors for trespassing, parading, or other minor offenses that they didn’t do.

    FAA:preventing SpaceX from testing Starship to punish the Democrats’ politics foe, Elon Musk.

    Now the courts are passing summary judgement on phony cases against the opposition frontrunner, making up facts as proof of guilt, literally forbidding a defense case from being presented, and colluding with courts in other states to time the worst of the many sudden fraudulent cases against the opposition frontrunner. Being a poll watcher does not make up for that judicial fraud.

    And we know that the election officials are corrupted in favor of Biden. We saw that in real time when votes suddenly chanced from Trump’s pile to Biden’s. We heard about it the next morning when poll watchers reported that they were sent home and counting continued, and a couple of days later when one of the counting centers’ security videos showed the election officials, after-hours, pull out votes that had been hidden from the poll watchers and count those illicit votes. We saw a year and a half later video of Democrats stuffing harvested ballots into ballot boxes that had no chain of custody at all. The Democrats literally stuffed the ballot box. No wonder so many more “Americans” had “voted” in 2020 than ever before. Being a poll watcher does not stop that fraud, and the watcher cannot even report it as fraud, because the registrar of voters made it the state’s policy and methodology — without proper legislative authority, to be sure, but such fraud is now the official practice and cannot be reported as fraud.

    The election process in America is just as corrupted as the New York Times said it would be, if these methods were adopted. Apparently, their warning was in reality an instruction manual. “To Dis-Serve Man”

  • Edward: Your hopeless rant seems to focus on “poll watchers” as if that was the only suggestion I made. In fact, I was much more focused on people becoming election judges, something that anyone can do. It immediately places you right in the middle of the action, with authority.

    If enough people do this — especially inside Democratic Party strongholds such as black districts, it will act strongly to stymie many of the worst election tampering we’ve seen.

    I speak from personal experience. I volunteered to work the polls, and was quickly asked to become a Republican election judge. Though I couldn’t do it because I was moving from Maryland to Arizona, it demonstrated to me that if enough honest people came forward they would quickly swamp out the bad eggs.

    And even if it only partly works, isn’t that better than bowing one’s head in defeat, as it seems you are doing?

  • Edward

    Robert,
    Putting the right people in place is futile. Election fraud must be punished in order to be discouraged. People break the law because they think they can get away with it. Election officials get away with it.

    The election judges won’t be much more help. The Democratically controlled areas won’t be likely to let anyone who is not a loyal subject act as an election judge, so your solution will not help in those areas; they will continue to be corrupt. In addition, election judges are limited in their power. They cannot solve most of the problems that I listed. Election fraud will continue to be unpunished. Ballot harvesting and non-chain-of-custody ballot boxes will continue to be in place, unconstitutionally. States and Congress will continue to certify bogus election results. Various government agencies will continue to take sides in politics. The news and entertainment media will continue to do their part in rigging elections. And courts will still hold two standards, choosing one for one political party and the other for all others.

    The solution is not at the polls. We already know that the electorate won’t choose the right people, nor will the electorate follow Milton Freedman’s advice to make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEVI3bmN8TI (1 minute, Milton Friedman)

    We are not thinking in the right direction. There are larger problems to be solved in order to regain the relatively honest republic that the Founding Fathers gave to us.

  • Edward: Okay. I proposed some positive action (which by the way I have little hope of happening. Americans today tend to talk a lot and do nothing). What do you propose? Right now all I get from you is “It is hopeless! Nothing we do will change anything!”

  • Edward

    ‘It is hopeless! Nothing we do will change anything!’

    You have summed up the past 23 years.

    Right now all I get from you is …

    I tried to recommend Friedman’s solution, but Republican voters haven’t followed that one for the half a century since he recommended it.

    Mr. Smith Goes To Washington is a lesson for us all. Our politicians go into office with the purest of intentions but become as corrupted as Senator Paine. The corruption happens because it is politically profitable to be corrupt, and purity is punished by the bureaucrats who are supposed to help the politicians be good leaders. This is what is happening to Trump.

    Your suggestion of bottom-up groundswell activism is good, but your suggestion is limited to an area that will not get the job done.

    Americans today tend to talk a lot …

    Talking is how we spread the ideas, but as you said, Americans continue to do nothing.

    But this is not strictly correct. Now that the election box is denied to us, Americans have been evacuating the Marxist states for the free states. This does not help the families, friends, and neighbors left behind, but some states are already lost. Corruption and fraud are now legally baked into California’s election laws. Also in California, the purpose of primary elections is no longer for the various parties to choose their candidates but for the general population to choose which two [Democrats] will be on the general election ballot (the presidential election is still done the old, proper way).

    Other, harder to do, solutions: We can convince the federal representatives from free states to vote against certifying bogus results from the lost states. The Hatch act can be extended to the current use of federal resources to cause the government to take sides in politics; right now it only prohibits individuals from doing so. Prosecutorial and judicial discretion must be enforced that they cannot be used to take sides in politics, and people that the government has wronged must be able to sue the government for their wrongdoing, and slander and libel must not be so impossible to prove. We the People can insist that our governments follow the Constitution and the laws of the land.

    Trump has been wrongly persecuted several times, just for political purposes. This is wrong, but is still politically profitable.

    A groundswell against DIE and wokeness is taking hold, and this bottom-up approach is working where our previous dependence on our politicians has failed. You are right in suggesting that the bottom-up approach is the way to go, because it is really the only way that is left to us. For the past third of a century, it hasn’t mattered who gets elected. The results were the same.

    Trump was not the solution, he was part of the problem. Before he was elected, government still prosecuted crimes, we were a nation of laws. Now, government prosecutes people for crimes not committed, wrongs not done, we are now a nation of men. If government does not like the man, government prosecutes him. This is the way of tyrannies, where laws are only in place so that the tyrants enemies can be punished. This is how prosecutorial discretion is being used now.
