Feds Warn Questioning Election Results Could Lead to Violence Against Election Workers

A story from Fox10 reads “Election Workers have gotten death threats and warnings they will be lynched, the U.S. government says.” The story opens up saying “more than a dozen people nationally have been charged with threatening election workers by a Justice Department unit trying to stem the tide of violent and graphic threats against people who count and secure the vote.” The article accuses Trump supporters questioning the 2020 election of being behind this, using the old trope “Some point to…” and “Experts fear….”

It is agit prop aimed at chilling any questioning of the 2024 election that they already plan to “steal,” if need be (that is, if they don’t convince enough Americans that the world will come to an end if they vote for anyone but DNC-CCP-approved candidates).

This writer is pressing x to doubt the efficacy of the reports coming from the seditious DOJ, the same department that seeks to criminalize parents questioning grooming children in public schools.

That there might be some who cross the line from peaceful dissent to violence is not in doubt by this writer. The widespread terror the DOJ and the writer of this DNC-CCP hit piece whishes to convince you is going on is a baldfaced lie intended to frighten you to vote for the DNC-CCP over those “terrorists” who DARE QUESTION elections and the unconstitutional methods by which these far-left ballot counters are tabulating the results.

It is the tried-and-true method of a depraved cult to convince you a demon is going to destroy you if you do not blindly follow that ideology, and thus be delivered from the evil they either created or invented or overhyped. In this case, it is probably a combination of all three.

Fox10’s anti-American agit prop piece accidently revealed a key fact, the Justice Department has created a task force in 2021 in its public integrity section that “investigates election crimes.” Methinks the election crimes are much the same as the ones Donald Trump is accused of committing, mainly doubting the reliability of the claimed results of elections in which over 60 percent of the votes are cast by mail-in-ballot.

This is the reason why this writer refers to the zombie puppet Joe Biden as the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, for he “won” an election with an unreliable mass mailer elections, and he clearly is not the one in charge, but rather, he is being run by the DNC’s elite leaders, who do all his talking for him, which he recites on a teleprompter (when he is able to, which is not very often).

For anyone actually threatening these unsavory election workers with violence, let me assure you, your work is pro-DNC-CCP, not American. Every violent act taken against the DNC-CCP is a bullet targeting the American heart, for the DNC-CCP will amplify that violent threat and use it to justify violence against Americans who “facilitate” violence with “hate speech,” speech that questions the party’s polices and practices, especially ones that rightly undermine its legitimacy to rule.

Expect many more articles like this to keep appearing, and expect your leftist neighbors to be convinced by them that people like you deserve the work camps the DNC-CCP has envisioned for you, for me, the moment they have the power to do so. Your “neighbors” will not only cheer them on, they’ll report you with the hope that you die in a hole far, far away from their master’s promised Utopia to come the moment people like you and me are out of their way.

The DOJ and the journalists that carry their water are the ones spreading terrorist threats and “hate speech” aimed at the heart of the republic herself, ready to murder the Bill of Rights and replace it with Marx and Foucault, two perverts that reflect the spirit of degeneracy that defies the American “left” today.

While this article is created by AP, a DNC-CCP house organ, shame on Fox10 for carrying this clear anti-American, terroristic propaganda. This outlet is no servant of Americans, it is their enemy.

Covid Real Estate Collapse, Jack Smith Bribing, FISA Judge Convicting, Gabon Joins Junta Club, NYC’s Muslim Call to Prayer

TOP STORIES

Will Covid-19 Lockdowns Lead to a Commercial AND Residential Real Estate Apocolypse?

WILL COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS LEAD TO A COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE APOCOLYPSE? – Even as businesses fight to get workers back into the workspace and out of the remote work space, workers are resisting, having had a taste of the good life, of working from home without having to worry about commuting everyday back and forth between work and home.  Now, the office spaces that the workers have abandoned are becoming empty, unused, and the value of the properties is set to plummet, along with property tax revenues for the already overburdened cities.

The Washington Post is reporting the potential real estate apocalypse, with the reporter, Rachel Siegal, writing, “All across the country, downtowns, office spaces and shopping centers are at risk of becoming ground zero for a new economic hazard: the urban doom loop. The fear is that a commercial real estate apocalypse could spiral out and slow commerce, wrecking local tax revenue in the process.” GO DEEPER

REPUBLICAN ACCUSES JACK SMITH OF BRIBING “WITNESS” TO GET TRUMP INDICTMENT – House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is accusing the office of special council Jack Smith, through his top aid Jay Bratt, of bribing a former Trump employee in order to get an indictment of the former President just in time to interfere with the 2024 election. He is also accusing the Attorney General, Merrick Farland, and White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients with colluding with Smith in order to get an indictment timed to offset the charges being levied at Joe Biden and his crack-smoking, sex-trafficking son Hunter Biden. GO DEEPER

FORMER FISA COURT JUDGE ASSURES PRO-LIFE PROTESTORS GET UNJUST CONVICTION – In an outcome intended to chill dissent from the death cult of the abortionists, a Washington-D.C. pool of jurors found Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty guilty of “conspiracy to interfere with civil rights and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE).” The FACE law is an unconstitutional violation of the right to protest. Nevertheless, the far left pool of jurors found no problem convicting people seeking to protect life, presumably because they all support murdering unborn children. GO DEEPER

GABON JUNTA ANNOUNCES NEW “TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENT” AFTER SUCCESSFUL COUP – After the party that has been in power for 56 years appeared to win the recent election, the military has intervened and removed the current and elected President Ali Bongo from office. They’ve placed him under house arrest, annulled the election, and appointed military General Oligui Nguema as the new “transitional President.” Gabon is a former French colony, like Niger was, which also recently saw a junta take power (see more links about this in the World category below).

NEW YORK CITY TO BROADCAST ISLAMIC CALL TO PRAYER – In the age of secular extremism, where the mere mention of Christ by a public official will trigger ACLY lawsuits fast and hard, New York City will be allowing Muslims to broadcast their calls to prayer across the entire city, meaning every resident will have to listen to this call every day whether they want to hear it or not. No other religious group has been given such public approval by the city.

The initiative was announced by Mayor Adams and NYPD Commissioner Edward A. Caban. Let’s see if the ACLU sues them. Vegas odds suggest that’s not likely.

IS THE U.S. ABOUT TO PREPARE THE WAY FOR A FEDERAL LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA? – A top official at the Department of Health and Human Services, HHS, is requesting marijuana be removed from the schedule II drug category it is now in to schedule III. The official sent a letter to the Drug Enforcement Agency Administrator Anne Milgram officially requesting the re-categorization. The mood within the DEA suggests the move is likely to happen, but whether it happens in a few months or a few years is anyone’s guess.

MCCONNEL FREEZES AGAIN – The DNC operative ruling the Senate GOP, Mitch McConnell, froze again during a press briefing for the second time in two months, having done so in July 26. This time, the Senator was asked a question and once again froze in place. 30 seconds passed before an aid asked if he heard the question. He did not respond. Another aid then said “All right, I’m sorry, you all. We’re going to need a minute.” After some time, the 81-year old Senator was able to respond, but with a much quieter voice.

CLAIM MADE BY NEWSMAX THAT THEY HAVE THE BIDEN AUDIO SMOKING GUN – Greg Kelly of Newsmax is claiming they have audiotape that will allegedly be released in the next few days that contains “incontrovertible evidence” Joe Biden was trading American power to foreign buyers for personal profit. He said, “There is an audio tape, I am told, by people in the know, not necessarily in government, not necessarily out of government. I can’t say too much, but there is incontrovertible evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption that is about to be made public. It’s not going to happen tomorrow. It’s not going to happen before Labor Day, but it will happen sometime between Labor Day and Halloween.”

The claim is being met with skepticism even among conservatives. If it turns out not to be true, then Newsmax and Greg Kelly can probably be considered controlled opposition, pushing out wild rumors that, when proven not to be true, will discredit all credible claims against the Mass Mailer President.

RAMASWAMY LOSES APPROVAL, GAINS DISAPPROVAL AFTER SECOND-PLACE GOP DEBATE – After the much-touted debate between GOP Presidential candidates who appear to be running to finish second to President Donald Trump, the poll winner of the debate, Vivek Ramaswamy, saw his disapproval numbers jump from 12 percent to 19 percent and his approval numbers go from 55 percent to 53 percent.

MINES IN DANGER OF BEING SHUT DOWN DUE TO “GREY TSUNAMI” – The Colorado School of Mines is waving a warning flag to the industry that they are about to experience a significant reduction in quality workers that could lead to mines across the country shutting down due to lack of available expertise to run them. The organization’s VP, Walter Copan, said of the warning, “Mining, mineral processing and then the downstream production of the materials that we rely upon for all aspects of the energy sector [are] at risk because of these shortages, and I find the statistic staggering that we are anticipating a retirement of more than half of the US mining workforce over the next six years, that’s 221,000 workers that are expected to retire by 2029.”

“CHRISTIAN” FURMAN UNIVERSITY LETS STUDENTS DECIDE DORMS BASED ON THEIR “GENDER IDENTITY” – Furman University has made it official, it has abandoned its Christian past and chosen woketarian deviancy, deciding to allow students to choose which dorms they want to have not based on their sex but their imagination.

Check relevant state and local laws.” It should be noted no state has passed any law that this community need fear, unless they plan on teaching children in public schools to explore their sexuality or hold drag queen shows for kids. Canada has fallen, and U.S. states might want to sue them for interfering with commerce and trade between two trade partners.

Former FISA Court Judge Assures Pro-Life Protestors Get Unjust Conviction

In an outcome intended to chill dissent from the death cult of the abortionists, a Washington-D.C. pool of jurors found Lauren Handy, Will Goodman, John Hinshaw, Heather Idoni, and Herb Geraghty guilty of “conspiracy to interfere with civil rights and Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE).” The FACE law is an unconstitutional violation of the right to protest. Nevertheless, the far left pool of jurors found no problem convicting people seeking to protect life, presumably because they all support murdering unborn children.

The founder and President of Live Action issued a statement that crystalizes the true depravity of the trial, the law used to convict these innocent, courageous Americans, the devastating effect this verdict will have on free speech rights, and the abominable verdict itself:

“From the beginning, This trial has been a sham with a completely biased pro-abortion judge who has made a mockery of our justice system. This decision will be appealed, and we demand it be overturned. These activists are heroes, and the Department of Justice has acted capriciously and illegitimately.  These charges stem from the FACE Act, which exists to target and chill the free speech of pro-life Americans.  Their acts of bravery to protect innocent human life from notorious D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo have been punished by the corrupt DOJ. Santangelo’s Washington Surgi-Clinic is known for being a late-term abortion facility, surgically killing babies that are well past viability outside of their mother and Santangelo has even been caught on camera by Live Action stating his willingness to withhold medical care from infants born alive after a botched abortion, a violation of federal law. 

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly refused to admit into evidence the Live Action investigation video showing the abortionist Cesare Santangelo, in his own words, stating his willingness to let a living child outside of the womb die from neglect and lack of medical attention. This is also the same judge who recently suggested that the 13th Amendment to the constitution’s ban on “involuntary servitude” may confer a right to abortion, comparing the beauty of pregnancy and motherhood with the horror of slavery. I stand with these activists who have been unjustly convicted and demand authentic justice for these advocates working to end the barbaric killing of abortion.”

The trial itself was a Kangaroo court executed by an unconstitutionally-minded Judge appointed by the abortion-supporting President Bill Clinton with herself also being a supporter of unborn child murder. It should also be noted this judge was also once the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA), which is a de facto star chamber that should have been struck down long ago for being the gross violator of Americans’ rights that it has always been since inception.

It is no surprise that a Judge with such an anti-American, authoritarian background would be willing to execute a kangaroo court to throw innocent Americans in jail to protect the guilty, the ones murdering their unborn children, along with the butchers that do the work of hired assassins to do so.

Will Covid-19 Lockdowns Lead to a Commercial AND Residential Real Estate Apocolypse?

Even as businesses fight to get workers back into the workspace and out of the remote work space, workers are resisting, having had a taste of the good life, of working from home without having to worry about commuting everyday back and forth between work and home.  Now, the office spaces that the workers have abandoned are becoming empty, unused, and the value of the properties is set to plummet, along with property tax revenues for the already overburdened cities.

The Washington Post is reporting the potential real estate apocalypse, with the reporter, Rachel Siegal, writing, “All across the country, downtowns, office spaces and shopping centers are at risk of becoming ground zero for a new economic hazard: the urban doom loop. The fear is that a commercial real estate apocalypse could spiral out and slow commerce, wrecking local tax revenue in the process.”

The consequences are already being felt in cities like Charlotte, NC; Washington, D.C.; Atlanta, GA; and more. In those cities office loan repayment delinquencies are spiraling upward to unprecedented numbers, meaning the cities will also be losing property tax revenues.

Another side effect of the Covid-19 lockdowns was the selling of retail properties by families who could no longer afford to meet mortgage payments. This triggered a buy-off that bloated the price of housing, a bloat that billionaire developers like Blackrock were willing to spend. Now, that sell-off is mostly complete and bought properties still remain unsold, even unoccupied.

Goldman Sachs issued a report in January that suggests other major cities, including New York City, face a 2008-scaled housing collapse.

Republican Accuses Jack Smith of Bribing “Witness” to get Trump Indictment

House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is accusing the office of special council Jack Smith, through his top aid Jay Bratt, of bribing a former Trump employee in order to get an indictment of the former President just in time to interfere with the 2024 election. He is also accusing the Attorney General, Merrick Farland, and White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients with colluding with Smith in order to get an indictment timed to offset the charges being levied at Joe Biden and his crack-smoking, sex-trafficking son Hunter Biden.

From the Loyal Conservatives: According to the White House visitor logs, Jay Bratt, Smith’s top aide, met with Caroline Seba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, on March 31. The New York Post initially reported this meeting. Danielle Ray, an FBI agent from the Washington, D.C. field office, was also present at the meeting alongside Bratt and Seba.

A spokesperson for the special counsel indicated that Bratt’s presence was related to a “case-related interview,” the FBI declined to comment on the matter. According to Jordan’s letter, Bratt had additional meetings with the White House. One was with an advisor to Ron Klain, the Chief of Staff, in September 2021, and the other involved Biden administration officials discussing “national security” two months later.

Now, Jordan is requesting the White House turn over all documents that could explain the nature of those White House visits, as well as all communications between the Executive Office of the President and the Department of Justice involving Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations.

Jordan accused Bratt of engaging in improper conduct by threatening a lawyer of a Trump employee and offering him favorable treatment in exchange for cooperation with the witch hunt (I mean investigation, no, I mean witch hunt.

More from the Loyal Conservatives: Jordan’s letter underscored the concern that Smith’s investigation and prosecution might lack impartiality and fairness due to these actions. In addition to the classified documents case, Smith indicted Trump for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, citing the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a significant factor.

Maui Residents Now Face Eviction as Biden Checks Fail to Cover Catastrophic Losses

MAUI RESIDENTS NOW FACE EVICTION AS BIDEN CHECKS FAIL TO COVER CATASTROPHIC LOSSES – After receiving their $700 checks from President Biden, the residents of Maui still face mounting debt and expenses that cannot be met. As a consequence, renters on the island now face eviction as landlords seek to remove residents from their homes (the ones still standing).

During an emergency meeting with the Maui County Council, one resident told the council, “We’ve been receiving call after call of people who are being asked to be evicted by their landlords, people who are being displaced during a time of emergency when their house was like the only house standing in their neighborhood, simply because the owner of the house realized that their investment is no longer a sound investment.” GO DEEPER

BIDEN’S ANONYMOUS VP EMAILS ARE ON FILE, AND THEY NUMBER OVER 4,000 – The National Archives and Records administration (NARA) has informed the Southeast Legal Foundation that they have at least 4,500 emails that come from the anonymous accounts used by then-Vice President Joe Biden. Now that the records are known to exist, it is only a matter of time before the GOP-led House will demand to see them.

CALIFORNIANS TAKE NEWSOME TO THE BALLOT OVER TRANS-FASCIST POLICIES – California parents have filed a ballot initiative that would destroy Governor Gavin Newsome’s desire to give children the “right” to decide what to do with their own bodies even against their parents’ wills. The parents say no, and they have begun the process to create ballot measures that would force these grooming schools to consult the parents before they lead their children down the path of chemical and/or physical castration and mutilation.

Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen under their command. – 1 Chronicles 12:32

FIA Weekday is a link aggregation, news analysis, and editorial commentary report designed to give the public an understanding of the times, compiled and reported on from an American Christian biblical perspective.

For a better understanding of our standards of news reporting, read our report “The Prophetic Voice in News?”

China Helping Taliban Track, Kill DIssenters Using Huawei Technologies

The Taliban government of Afghanistan let the world know that Huawei, China’s CCP-owned digital telecommunications company, is installing a comprehensive surveillance network across the country in the style of the one built in the province of Xinxiang, the home of the ethnic group the Uyghurs, which are being exterminated by the CCP even as we speak.

The Taliban released a series of posts which were later deleted (probably at the behest of the CCP) as they exposed the brutality of the CCP and its CCP-controlled company in aiding an Islamo-Fascist regime in murdering dissenters, conveniently called “terrorists,” a phrase the Chinese government also uses to describe resistance to the brutal regime that the Taliban represent.

Given the nature of China’s regime, it is no surprise the two fascist regimes find such camaraderie with one another.

Bloomberg News claims to have an inside source on what went down with this agreement, stating in their report, Representatives of the Shenzhen-headquartered tech company met with Interior Ministry officials on Aug. 14, the person said, and a verbal agreement was reached regarding the contract. The Interior Ministry initially posted images and details of the meeting on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. In one post, spokesman Mufti Abdul Mateen Qani said the advanced camera system was being considered “in every province of Afghanistan.”

Maui Residents Now Face Eviction as Biden Checks Fail to Cover Catastrophic Losses

After receiving their $700 checks from President Biden, the residents of Maui still face mounting debt and expenses that cannot be met. As a consequence, renters on the island now face eviction as landlords seek to remove residents from their homes (the ones still standing).

During an emergency meeting with the Maui County Council, one resident told the council, “We’ve been receiving call after call of people who are being asked to be evicted by their landlords, people who are being displaced during a time of emergency when their house was like the only house standing in their neighborhood, simply because the owner of the house realized that their investment is no longer a sound investment.”

There are so many questionable actions that occurred during this emergency (which we covered here), but one action before the disaster adds to the suspicions many have regarding what has happened and is happening in Maui. An Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing was released by Governor Josh Green (D-HI) just three weeks before the disaster.

According to the press release, “The Emergency Proclamation Relating to Housing, signed by Governor Green on July 17, 2023, aims to streamline the development process and empower developers and stakeholders to contribute to the creation of more housing opportunities. The Emergency Proclamation reflects extensive input from state and county agencies that provided details on process maps, application checklists, common areas of approval delays,  and recommended touchpoints for engagement.”

Local residents speaking during that emergency meeting raised suspicions about the timing of the order, with one noting, “To my knowledge, this was the first emergency proclamation in the country that didn’t have a preceding incident. This was just from my knowledge, was just to streamline development on Maui and it is allocated all decision-making power to one person, the housing officer of the governor, Nani Medeiros, who’s unelected, who can trump every single thing that you do. They’re meeting with developers, private landowners.”

Actions by the DNC-CCP governor heighten suspicions that this is, in part, a land grab intended to give the state power to convert the free land to one micromanaged by the state. He announced his intentions out loud, saying, “I’m already thinking of ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to the people who were lost.”

In typical DNC-CCP fashion, this un-American governor is using the dead as a shield from criticism for essentially moving like a Marxist to remove private ownership from Maui, at least for the little guy. The party elites, the wealthy class that funds the party, will get exemptions, of course.

He built on his hateful exploitation of the dead to justify state control, saying, “We want this to be something we remember after the pain passes as a magic place. Lahaina will rebuild. The tragedy right now is the loss of life. The buildings can be rebuilt over time, even the banyan tree may survive, but we don’t want this to become a clear space where then people from overseas just come and decide they’re gonna take it. The state will take it and preserve it first.”

Jesse Watters of Fox News, whose team created the report that much of this information came from, added, “The emergency housing proclamation was declared weeks before the actual emergency created a housing emergency. This emergency proclamation has been described as a gift to developers. The residents are apoplectic because of all the emergency powers. They go to a housing czar, and residents get no say. Now, the residents think developers, government officials, and all those billionaires who have bought up land in Hawaii like Zuckerberg, Oprah, Bezos are going to take advantage of the devastation.”

It is almost as if the Governor and these elites knew ahead of time the emergency that was to take place and exactly how to exploit it to further the interests of the party and the elites it serves, at the expense of Americans and our republic.

Papua New Guinea Protests Grow After New Military Agreement With U.S.

After U.S. Secretary Antony Blinken and Papua New Guinea Defense Minister Win Bakri Daki signed a new military agreement in May, opposition to the agreement, which has yet to be ratified, formed. Opposition Leader Jospeh Leland is leading the charge, telling Benar News that the agreement “has sparked unprecedented protests and opposition all over the country. The issue of sovereignty and constitutionality of that agreement is now being tested.”

What’s at stake here is whether the Papua New Guineans want to be committed to what is, effectively, an anti-China policy while living in China’s backdoor. While the opposition leader doesn’t question the government’s right to make agreements with foreign nations, he claims, “As leader of the opposition it is my duty to ensure that all lawful checks and balances are strengthened or are available and that at all times, PNG’s sovereignty is not unnecessarily compromised.”

He believes this agreement does breech PNG’s sovereignty. A Pacific Analyst, Mihai Sora, believes the government has enough to get the agreement ratified, but the government has failed, so far, to explain the benefits of the agreement. The tensions leave the door open for the CCP to seek to influence the island nation through the opposition party to tilt the nation towards China, as has happened in the Solomon Islands.

The protests are real, and as the DNC-CCP continues to push its anti-human agenda on its “allies,” those “allies” are finding better terms with China and Russia, who aren’t seeking to make them support abortion or gay rights or “anti-racist” (which are racist) policies like the Biden administration has been doing, and aggressively so.

America is in danger of losing more friendly ports of call as China continues its campaign to freeze America out of the South China sea.

DHS INVESTING IN TECH THAT CAN READ “SENTIMENT AND EMOTION” – The Department of Homeland Security, the agency that was originally created simply to coordinate between intelligence agencies, is now getting budgets to invest in technologies that can read humans’ “sentiment and emotions.” From Slashdot.org: “CBP told 404 Media it is using technology to analyze open source information related to inbound and outbound travelers who the agency believes may threaten public safety, national security, or lawful trade and travel. In this case, the specific company called Fivecast also offers “AI-enabled” object recognition in images and video, and detection of “risk terms and phrases” across multiple languages, according to one of the documents.”

COMMERCE SECRETARY SIGNALS DNC TO COOPERATE WITH CCP MORE – Biden’s U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Ramondo is seeking to convince Americans that we need to continue to blend our economy and society with the fascist state of China. She said “The economic relationship between the United States and China is one of the most significant in the world. We share over $700 billion of trade. It is profoundly important that we have a stable economic relationship, which is to the benefit of both of our countries. And in fact what the world expects of us. It’s a complicated relationship. It’s a challenging relationship. We will of course disagree on certain issues, but I believe that we can make progress if we are direct, open and practical.” Only a progmerican talks like this, which is no American at all.
