Investigation Launched in Georgia Into Potential Illegal Ballot Harvesting in 2020 Election

 Via David

Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state’s 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News.

Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called “harvesting” that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.

Did you know George Washington spent his boyhood not far from here? And across that river, he's supposed to have thrown that silver dollar... ...and cut down that cherry tree. That may be so, Mr. Taylor, but it has an even greater significance for me. It's where I met my wife. That's something these Yankees do not understand, will never understand. You see these rivers and valleys and streams... ...and fields, even towns? They're just markings on a map to those people in the war office in Washington. But to us, my goodness, they're birthplaces and burial grounds. They're battlefields where our ancestors fought... ...places where you and I learned to walk, to talk and to pray. Places where we made friendships and, oh, yes, fell in love. And they're the incarnation of all our memories, Mr. Taylor... ...and all that we are. All that we are.

“That the negroes did not revolt is one of the incomprehensible features of our Civil War. Every chance for success was theirs, nor were they ignorant of their opportunity for striking an effectual and crushing blow against their oppressors.  Why was it not done? Several potent causes combined to render any widespread insurrection at that time impossible. There was in the first place a genuine affection for the white race, implanted in hundreds of thousands of negroes by amalgamation, there was, in no less degree, a race love created by the foster parental relations which negro women sustained toward white children; there was also a genuine desire on the part of the negro men to discharge worthy the duties with which they were entrusted by their absent masters.  But the supreme and all-pervading influence which restrained them was rooted in their religious convictions; for the slave negro, unlike the modern freedman, was a being in whom religious fervor was intensely and overwhelmingly manifest.” William Hannibal Thomas, 5th United States Colored Troops. The American Negro, published 1901.

A Japanese Illustrated History of America (1861): Features George Washington Punching Tigers, John Adams Slaying Snakes & Other Fantastic Scenes

“George Washington (with bow and arrow) pictured alongside the Goddess of America”

Though I’m American myself, I always learn the most about America when I look outside it. When I want to hear my homeland described or see it reflected, I seek out the perspective of anyone other than my fellow Americans. Given that I live in Korea, such perspectives aren’t hard to come by, and every day here I learn something new — real or imagined — about the United States. But Japan, the next country over to the east, has a longer and arguably richer tradition of America-describing. And judging by Osanaetoki Bankokubanashi (童絵解万国噺), an 1861 book by writer Kanagaki Robun and artist Utagawa Yoshitora, it certainly has a more fantastical one. “Here is George Washington (with bow and arrow) pictured alongside the Goddess of America,” writes historian of Japan Nick Kapur in a Twitter thread featuring selections from the book.

From teenage girls to trained assassins: They were drilled to shoot, bomb and even garrotte invading Nazis with their bare hands. Now ANNABEL VENNING has uncovered the testimony of the secret British resistance squad

When Jennifer Lockley was growing up in the 1950s, a salesman came to the door of the family home one afternoon.

He was selling pots and pans and was pushy and aggressive. When Jennifer's mother, Irene, tried to close the door, he stuck his foot inside to stop her.

Jennifer never forgot what happened next. In one rapid manoeuvre, her housewife mother sent the salesman sprawling, somehow throwing him — and his pots and pans — across the front garden.

China Locks Down Another Major City, World’s Busiest Port as Genocide Olympics Loom

 

The city of Yuzhou ordered all of its million residents to stay indoors for at least three days – a lockdown order similar to the one imposed on the comparably large city of Xi’an two weeks ago. Xi’an is still under lockdown today, its starving residents reduced to bartering their goods for food and begging for help on social media while a menacing army of 40,000 police officers prowls the streets. A viral video clip from Xi’an showed a man saying he traded a bag of rice for a smartphone and a tablet.

Coronavirus lockdowns in China spread on Tuesday to the huge city of Yuzhou in the central province of Henan, and the vital port city of Ningbo in eastern Zhejiang province.

Yuzhou’s lockdown of its 1.1 million citizens caught the eye of foreign journalists, but global trade analysts are more nervous about Ningbo, where a cluster of coronavirus cases was detected at a clothing factory on New Year’s Day. Ningbo is the world’s busiest port by shipping volume, and third largest if measured by the number of containers processed daily.

LOL: 1619 Project Founder Doesn’t Even Know When the Civil War Happened

What a sweetie......

The NYT’s “1619 Project,” authored by Nikole Hannah-Jones, is widely regarded as being full of lies, half-truths, and misleading statements. Supposedly a work of revisionist history, in reality, it’s little more than the opinions and ramblings of an anti-American fool.

Jones proved her status as such a fool yet again, this time when discussing the American Civil War. As ZeroHedge reports:
