On Second Thought

Was Trump right about the 2020 election after all?

So we know ‘Russian collusion’ was made of whole cloth by a ‘deep state’ intent on keeping control of their adventurous foreign policy prerogatives. We also know that nearly every lockdown, mandate and ‘masking’ during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic did little or nothing to slow the progression of a virus leaked from a Chinese lab.1

Why, we’ve even come to realize that the rioting over the death of George Floyd wasn’t really over the way police treated a career criminal, but rather part of the same anarchist movement that celebrated the killing of Charlie Kirk.

In short, nearly everything we’ve been told by a Democrat-media complex in the Trump-era has been a lie.

Which makes Arctic Frost all the more interesting.2 The revelation of FBI spying on nine Republican members of Congress as a precursor to Jack Smith’s ‘elector case’ against President Trump should have been seen as the latest outrage of a ‘deep state’ run amok.

But no, the a ‘uniparty’ swamp is still more interested in jailing Jan. 6th (J6) protestors than the electoral abuses that motivated the Capitol Hill chaos in the first place. Protests, by the way, heavily infiltrated by the Bureau, though Director Christopher Wray denied it.3

So could it be the real ‘election deniers’ were the ones claiming the 2020 ballot was on the up and up? Obviously, Trump still thinks so, signing an executive order to limit mail-in voting (over concerns of ubiquitous ballot harvesting) and the use of electronic voting machines.4

Smartmatic has been indicted for alleged “money laundering and other crimes arising from more than $1 million in bribes that several executives allegedly paid to election officials in the Philippines.”5 The company, founded two decades ago by a group of Venezuelans, is suing Fox News for defamation over questioning the validity of its voting machines in the 2020 election.6

Critics have predictably pounced on Trump’s EO, citing election law has traditionally reserved for state legislatures—well, except when they were arguing that it wasn’t when it suited their (Democrat) interests.7

Smartmatic may yet prevail on both counts, but the larger question is if Democrats are willing to put up, oh, say..straw donors on Act Blue, why wouldn’t they try out a few straw voters at the ballot box?8
