Excellent video summation by Bill Whittle on the state of the election and the media’s role in it.
It’s about 10 minutes but the best takeaway to me is that the media keeps asking different republican politicians to ‘prove’ there is no voter fraud. Isn’t that their job? I know......
(((Ping)))
Lots interesting to see how the quitters are original Trump haters.
The smartest original Trump haters now love and trust Trump, having paid attention with humility. There are very few.
Most, as seen here, I won’t open the video, Likely, their purpose includes proving they were correct.
I pay no attention to their thoughts. They discourage. They are the worst of the gaslighters.
Funny you say that. I didn’t like Trump at first but my wife convinced me. Yes, I voted for him both times.
bill whittles it down and proves that the media is in it up to their china chins.
I LOVE Bill Whittle. When I kick around names to take over after Rush retires, I always come back to Bill Whittle.

There is one logical action to take against “the media” - they must be sued for libel.You will say that the Sullivan decision by the Warren Court makes that impossible. Well, the Sullivan decision by the Warren Court was unanimous - unanimously wrong. It bases itself on the fraudulent claim that
". . . libel can claim no talismanic immunity from constitutional limitations. It must be measured by standards that satisfy the First Amendment”We all love us some First Amendment, but 1A says bupkis about libel.The Federalists who wrote and ratified the Bill of Rights didn’t want any reference at all in the Constitution to rights. Politically forced to promise a bill of rights by amendment, they did the very least that they thought would pass muster. The first 8 amendments “enumerate” rights which already existed in Common Law. They do not create rights, those already existed. That’s what “the” freedom of speech refers to. 1A says about freedom of speech and press: “NO CHANGE.” Pornography restrictions and libel laws already existed - and nothing in 1A says or suggests that libel law is affected by it.
Similarly, 2A refers to “the” RKBA. Meaning, RKBA as already understood. It was illegal to libel a politician, and it was illegal to shoot out the windows of a politician’s house. Before and after the passage of the Bill of Rights. Scalia wrote the Heller decision. Whereas “Constitutional Carry” advocates would have written a very short and sweet decision, Scalia hit the books hard and wrote a lengthy opinion on what RKBA actually meant in 1788.
The ninth and tenth amendments
and
- Amendment 9
- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
- Amendment 10
- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
preserve the right to sue for libel unchanged, and no court prior to 1964 had ever held that 1A touched libel law at all.
