Prior to the Presidential election Barack Obama made it clear that while he was not on the ballot, his ego was: “I am not on the ballot this fall. Michelle’s pretty happy about that. But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them.” America agreed. And it handed him his ass. But it’s not his fault. Nothing is ever his fault: To hear Barack Obama tell it, his career trajectory from backbencher in the Illinois state legislature to president of the United States has gone flawlessly. It’s everyone else who’s let him down. Behold...

Tyler DurdenNovember 30, 2016Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com You have to hand it to the regressive left, when they conjure propaganda they really know how to run with it. When their indoctrination doesn’t take, and the public stops them cold with a wall of skepticism, they don’t give up! No — the little buggers double down and go for broke! I would point out, however, that this seemingly boundless drive to forsake all logic and reason in the name of ideology is not due to these people being special in their ambition. Rather, they are following a somewhat successful...

Green Party candidate Jill Stein Tuesday flatly denied billionaire George Soros is behind her quest for ballot recounts, saying that even if he would happen to donate money toward the effort, it would be returned. "Our donors will all be disclosed," Stein told Fox News' "America's Newsroom" co-host Martha McCallum. "All of the 140,000 of them last I checked. The average donation is $45. Wherever the voters are coming from, these are regular people throwing in small donations so that we can have a government that is about us everyday people. There is not some giant thunder here." "Are you...

Madison — Green Party candidate Jill Stein will not appeal a judge's rejection of her lawsuit to force a hand recount of nearly 3 million presidential ballots in Wisconsin, clearing the way for machines to be used in the statewide effort beginning Thursday. Also Wednesday, Stein filed another recount petition in Michigan and the Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a federal elections complaint against both Stein and Democrat Hillary Clinton. The complaint alleges that Stein — who received only a small share of the vote — is improperly fundraising to pay for a recount that primarily benefits Clinton, the second-place...

A Democratic Party email calling for temporary workers to man a massive and unprecedented presidential election recall effort in Dane County had Republicans crying foul this week.

A teenager from Washington state has become the seventh person to indicate that she will break ranks with party affiliation and become a “faithless elector” in an attempt to prevent Donald Trump being formally enshrined as president-elect when the electoral college meets on 19 December. Levi Guerra, 19, from Vancouver, Washington, is set to announce that she is joining the ranks of the so-called “Hamilton electors” at a press conference at the state capitol in Olympia on Wednesday. The renegade group believes it is the responsibility of the 538 electors who make up the electoral college to show moral courage...

I am combining the salient points of an article by Ren Jander, yesterday, on the Pennsylvania recount with other information in an attempt to squelch some of the perpetual hysteria here. It seems some people move the goalposts no matter what happens, or what Trump does. First, key points of Jander's article: "THERE WILL BE NO RECOUNT IN PENNSYLVANIA: Jill Stein Perpetrating Election Fraud." Everything you've been reading about a possible recount of the 2016 Presidential Election in Pennsylvania is wrong. There will be no "recount" in Pennsylvania. Book that. It is not speculation. It is legal fact. The broad...

The only thing Hillary is going to achieve by backing Jill Stein’s shameless recount stunt is to make herself a TWO-TIME loser and drag America’s reputation as a democracy through the mud. How very Clinton of her! When it comes to losing, I’m very much from the Vince Lombardi school: ‘Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.’ Like the legendary NFL coach, I love winning and hate losing. I mean, I really REALLY hate losing. At anything. It eats away at my soul like a giant, agitated parasite infesting my internal organs. Even being beaten by...

WASHINGTON ― One of Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican critics, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said Tuesday that the president-elect should either provide evidence of his claims that millions of people voted illegally or stop spreading a false message. “I don’t know what [Trump] is talking about,” Graham told The Huffington Post. “If he has evidence, bring it forward. If he doesn’t, he shouldn’t say things like that.” Graham said he plans to introduce a bipartisan resolution in the Senate to show confidence in the integrity of the 2016 elections. “I want people to believe — at least, the Senate...

Nine of the 10 counties in this state that have benefited the most from Obamacare also voted for Donald Trump. How much are we obligated to care, then, when tens of thousands of them get thrown off health coverage? Grays Harbor County, along the Washington coast, is getting a lot of attention because it flipped from blue to red this election for the first time in nearly a century. Not since Herbert Hoover won back in 1928 had the county voted for the Republican, which it did this time, going hard for Donald Trump. “I trace everything to the radiating...

Members from the state's Green Party are hosting viewing parties on how to train people interested in observing the presidential recount Thursday. People from different political backgrounds gathered in Muskego on Tuesday night to train for the historic recount process. "I'm interested in how the whole election process works and how it doesn't work," said Jim Shepard, of Woodstock, Illinois. The effort is being funded and led by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who addressed the crowd remotely through Skype. "We're going to start by recounting the votes in Wisconsin," Stein said. People in attendance were given guidance by...

LANSING, Mich. — The Latest on presidential recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin (all times local): 1:45 p.m. Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein has requested a full hand recount of Michigan’s presidential vote. Stein requested the recount on Wednesday. She had already requested recounts in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republican Donald Trump won all three states. He defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton in Michigan by 10,704 votes out of nearly 4.8 million ballots cast. Stein alleges that irregularities and the potential for hacking into scanning devices call into question the results. The Michigan recount could start as early as Friday....

Anti-Trump forces are apparently planning an all out legal assault on the Electoral College in a last ditch effort to keep Donald Trump from taking office in the White House. The plan? To file legal action in all 29 states which have laws that prohibit electors from “voting their conscience.” In other words, laws that prevent electors from going against the state’s popular vote. The inside scoop on what is being planned: Leaders of the effort, mainly Democrats, have plans to challenge laws in the 29 states that force electors to support their party’s candidate. Those laws have never been...

Mediaite pulled out the funniest part of Barack Obama’s latest softball interview with Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner. When asked about Donald Trump’s victory, he blamed part of it on “Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.” Let’s not wait for PolitiFact to judge whether Fox News is actually on the TV set in every bar and restaurant in the red states. (They won’t.) Conservatives on Twitter quickly made several apt points:

Most people couldn't wait for the grueling, nasty, seemingly interminable 2016 election to end. Jill Stein wants to keep it going. And she's willing to waste a lot of money, time, and attention to do so. Like a bad actor that insists on one last curtain call after the audience has headed for the exits, the Green Party nominee seems to stubbornly believe in her relevance even after the election demonstrated its non-existence beyond any doubt. Stein's demand for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania demonstrates arrogance bordering on parody. Stein didn't lose the election so much as she...

Jill Stein's recount efforts aren't going to win her the presidency. What they will get her is donor data potentially worth millions of dollars. https://www.thestreet.com/story/13907690/1/what-jill-stein-gets-out-of-recounts-your-email-addresses-worth-millions.html

During an interview about her effort to recount votes in several states won by Donald Trump, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein tells MSNBC's Craig Melvin that if she hadn't been a candidate, upwards of one third of her voters would have picked Donald Trump. CRAIG MELVIN, MSNBC: We should also not this: The margin in Wisconsin between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is about 22,000 voted. You received 31,000 votes in that state. What do you think the outcome might have been had you decided not to run? JILL STEIN: Well, the numbers show that if I weren't running,...

MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – A Dane County judge has knocked down Jill Stein’s request to conduct Wisconsin’s recount exclusively by hand to rule out any electronic tampering with the results. Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn said Stein’s experts couldn’t present “clear and convincing evidence” that Wisconsin voting equipment was compromised, only that it was possible. “A hand recount is the gold standard, it’s the best we can do. I don’t think there’s any dispute to that,” the judge said, and she noted there’s no difference in cost to taxpayers since the campaign pays for it. “However, it’s not the court’s decision to...
