JD Vance’s Election Denialism Is Deepening
The New York Times ^ | Oct. 12, 2024, 11:49 a.m. ET | Jamelle Bouie

The first thing I thought of while watching Senator JD Vance of Ohio refuse to say whether Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election in a recent interview with this newspaper was “The Manchurian Candidate,” John Frankenheimer’s 1962 psychological thriller.

The linchpin of “The Manchurian Candidate,” of course, is the scene in which we learn that the sterling and charismatic Raymond Shaw, a war hero, was actually captured and brainwashed during his time during the Korean War. He was programmed as a sleeper agent to kill on command, and his handlers also brainwashed his fellow captured soldiers so that the truth of his identity would be kept under wraps. When asked about Shaw, those soldiers repeat the same robotic statement, that Shaw is “the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”

My colleague Lulu Garcia-Navarro gave Vance five opportunities to answer a single simple question: Did Trump lose the 2020 election? And each time, Vance gave the same rote response. “Did big technology companies censor a story that independent studies have suggested would have cost Trump millions of votes?” he asked.

Each refusal to answer was more chilling than the last. It was as if Vance had just been repeating a set of programmed answers, unable to deviate from his commands. Of course, Vance isn’t the victim in a Hollywood thriller. He is a willing participant in an effort to degrade and destroy the truth in order to win power.

They are losing. This is what the NYT does when they know it. They double down on pushing the crap they thought would be a winning argument.

In the Left’s mind, uttering J6 should have made this game over.

Speaking of Vance, I rarely see him in the news here. I guess the MSM is performing their own censorship, but you would think Musk would be helping the campaign by having Vance up front and center on X.

More bull shit from the NY Slimes. Such a waste of time. The real Manchurian candidate is Tim Walz.

Are there any respected, objective, honest people left in America that could thoroughly evaluate in the sunshine the MASSIVE and VARIED evidence of 2020 Presidential Election Theft?

No one in the current federal government nor their fake news media lackeys meet the criteria of respect, objectivity, and honesty to convince the majority of We The People that fair elections still exist in America.

Black voters shift toward Trump as Kamala fails to match Biden’s 2020 numbers: NYT/Sienna poll
The Post Millennial ^ | 10/12/24 | Hayden Cunningham
Posted on 10/12/2024, 11:14:11 AM by CFW

A recent New York Times poll has revealed that black voters are shifting away from the Democratic Party more than expected. While Vice President Kamala Harris is still projected to win a majority of black votes, her support is notably lower than the level Joe Biden achieved in 2020.

The poll found that eight in 10 black voters nationwide plan to vote for Harris, an increase from the 74 percent who initially backed Biden before he dropped out of the race. However, in the 2020 election, Biden secured 90 percent of the black vote, marking Harris’ 80 percent as a significant drop, especially given the Democratic Party’s reliance on black voters and the tightness of the upcoming election in swing states.

Though Harris is expected to receive overwhelming support from black voters, GOP nominee Donald Trump is gaining more traction with this demographic than previously anticipated. His campaign has targeted black voters, particularly black men. According to the poll, 15 percent of black voters now say they will vote for Trump, a six-point increase from 2020.

What the MSM fails to grasp is that increasing the shrillness does not make the argument stronger.

Jamelle Bouie of the Slimes appears to be an Election Fraud Denier of the first rank. He should be ostracized from Western civilization.

The NYT must be running three shifts; they’re cranking out propaganda at lightning speed.

The Dims told us for many years that Bush didn’t win 2000. Then they told us that Trump didn’t win 2016. And they had much less “evidence” for their arguments that the Republicans have to doubt 2020.

I saw that interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro. What a snotty little bitch she was. Vance handled himself great.

Not a single election fraud case was decided on its merits.

They were all denied for “no standing.”
