Hello Fellow Democrats,
I VOTED!!!! I voted last Saturday when early voting became available in Moriarty. I hope you have voted too or have a plan to vote in the coming days. The only thing that was odd to me was that Democrats were not always in the same position on the ballot. Sometimes Dems were the first one and other times Dems were in the middle or were last. There was no consistence in it at all. Maybe that is by design, probably so Republicans can’t scream foul about it. You know how they are! If you have not voted, please pay attention to what you are doing, or you could easily vote for a Republican. Other states with electronic voting machines are saying that when the button for the Democrat is punched, it automatically defaults back to the Republican candidate. Ummm, not sure what to say about that! I am just grateful that New Mexico has paper ballots!
And then there is Alaska! The DOJ has filed suited on Alaska because there are two people on the ballot with the same name, both are Republicans. One is the incumbent and the other is not; they are easily identified on the ballot. And then there is the lone Democrat, who has a very good chance of winning. That is scaring the bejesus out of DJT, thus the reason for the lawsuit on the state. He came right out and said that if the Republican incumbent does not win, the voting counts will not be certified. 100% unconstitutional, 100% against the law, and 100% pure stupidity.
Just wait until Marc Elias gets hold of this! I have been following Marc on YouTube for a while now. He is the attorney for the Democratic Party, and in the past was counsel for Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris and others. He is a damn sharp attorney and knows his stuff. He does a good job of communicating situations and helping the public understand what is going on. He and his law firm have already filed suit as in intervener against the DOJ in the Alaska case and feels 100% certain he will win. DOJ has no standing and is simply making shit up. Marc says that the administration is just getting started to create chaos for election day. Republicans are desperate, scared and stupid. Marc also has guaranteed us that his firm will be there for every single shenanigan DJT and the DOJ try to pull. I have no doubt that he will be. Marc is passionate about the Rule of Law and the Constitution. He gets pretty wound up at times, and I sincerely worry about his blood pressure. For that matter, I worry about all Democrats blood pressure. Hopefully, we get some relief on November 4th! BLUE WAVE!!! VOTE BLUE!!!
STAND UP, PUSH BACK! CONTINUE THE FIGHT!

TRUMP LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING!
Refute the Republican Rhetoric
By Bill Peifer
Saturday night, Trump posted the following rant on UntruthSocial:
Obama was a grossly incompetent President! He paid off Iran with $Billions, and gave them a road to a Nuclear Weapon. He said that Crooked Hillary Clinton was going to WIN, he campaigned hard for her, and she lost in all directions and ways. He then campaigned full out for Kamala, and likewise, she lost. Now he’s campaigning for a Muslim Brotherhood Jihadist, who hates Jews and Blacks and AMERICANS and TRUMP, and he is going to lose, also. He’s a Fake Doctor, who runs what is considered to be the WORST CLINIC IN AMERICA. I won Michigan, BIG, have brought back the Car Industry, the Air Force Base, and everything else. Also, more jobs than ever before. Michigan doesn’t want an arrogant, Open Borders, Fake Doctor, Jihadist, whose reputation will only get worse as more information is revealed - And there’s plenty. VOTE FOR MIKE ROGERS! He will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP
It’s hard to know where to begin with this one! Of course, Trump’s jealousy of Obama and all of the former president’s successes are a constant, so it’s not surprising that Trump would call one of the greatest presidents in modern history “incompetent”. And the oft-repeated lie that returning $1.7 billion of Iran’s money to them was “paying” them has gotten tiresome. Of course, getting Iran to agree to halting their nuclear weapons program, including international inspectors, without a single life lost, was certainly not giving the Islamic Republic “a road to a nuclear weapon”. And for Trump to say that Hillary Clinton “lost in all directions and ways” is a lie, since 2,868,686 more people voted for Secretary Clinton than for the sleazy carnival con man who only won because of our anachronistic Electoral College.
But the real point of Trump’s Saturday night rant was his hatred for Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, who is running for the U.S. Senate from Michigan because the candidate happens to be a Muslim. No, El-Sayed is NOT a member or supporter of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, nor is he a jihadist. There is no evidence that he hates Jews, blacks or Americans, since he has the support of many Jews and Blacks and was born in Michigan, making him every bit as much of an American as Trump. Trump may be accurate in saying that El-Sayed hates Trump, but two out of every three Americans hate what Trump’s doing to this country, so I won’t fault El-Sayed for his hatred of the man, if it exists.
The claim that El-Sayed is a “fake doctor” is the one that really makes my blood boil. The man is a nationally recognized epidemiologist, which puts a target on his back when it comes to Trump, since Trump trusts only RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz for medical advice. But El-Sayed holds a DPhil degree (British equivalent of a PhD) from Oxford and an MD from Columbia University. That sure sounds like a real doctor to me.
Finally, Trump’s claim that he “won Michigan, BIG” is also stretching the truth. He got 49.7% of the vote, not even a majority, in Michigan. He beat Kamal by a whopping 1.4%. In political elections, nothing less than 10% is considered winning something BIG!
