Yesterday’s hearing was a relatively sober presentation of 2020 election issues as — I imagine — most Americans understand them. I imagine most Americans view the election as flawed in concerning ways that require attention, but not as an immediate crisis that needs to be resolved by reversing the outcome.
Continue reading “Senate holds a hearing on examining irregularities in the 2020 election — 12/16/2020”Republicans are trying to play “Calvin ball”: election rules changes until they win.
Geez, Republicans did well down ballot, but that is not good enough.
“Why is Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger working so hard to add drop boxes and take other steps to make it harder for Republicans to win,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tweeted.”

Electoral College Results
The Electoral College yesterday voted for dual sets of electors in seven states: PA, GA, MI, WI, AZ, NV, and NM. In each instance, one slate would elect Joe Biden, the other would elect Donald Trump.

Republicans not happy with Trump siphoning off the small donor money from Loeffler and Perdue campaigns. I suppose it is payback since GA Republicans didn’t deliver for him. I say go for it. A couple of Senate Democrats from GA will teach ‘em not to mess with the president.
Now that the dust has settled, Trump lost in the suburbs, gained in some urban districts.
“For starters, Mr. Trump didn’t lose the election in the big cities where he and his allies accuse Democratic mayors and their political machines of rigging the vote. Rather, he lost the election in America’s suburbs.”
Corrupt Presidential Children
“Conservative” hearts are all aflutter since it has been announced that Hunter Biden’s tax affairs are being investigated by the Barr DOJ. Maybe he has done something wrong. Who knows? He did issue a press release asserting that his tax affairs are regular and professionally done. We will see.
More to the point, these poor myopic Trumpkins can see the mote in the eye of Hunter Biden but not the beam in the eyes of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. This piece provides some perspective.

When a candidate loses in a Democratic stronghold 80-20, it is time to concede. But not to Republicans inspired by El presidente. And the reality is that no matter what election reforms are instituted, they will never be enough.

What is to be Done? The Rise of Hygiene Socialism and the Prospects for Liberty
Source: American Institute for Economic Research.
I like this piece for its invention of the term hygiene socialism, which seems useful to me. The writer notes that the concept is not new. Herbert Spencer described the same threat to liberty using similar language in 1851. The new phrase, however, is instantly meaningful to today’s libertarians and conservatives.
