My latest in PJ Media:
We have all heard ad nauseam about how the Russians supposedly manipulated the 2016 presidential election in order to ensure the election of their man, Donald Trump. The whole thing has been thoroughly exposed as a massive hoax designed to discredit and ultimately destroy Trump, but that doesn’t mean that there are no foreign entities trying to influence American elections.
On Thursday, the Justice Department indicted Seyyed Kazemi and Sajjad Kashian, two hackers from the Islamic Republic of Iran who worked for a company that has worked with the Iranian government. They are accused of spreading disinformation among American voters during the 2020 presidential campaign. It isn’t hard to figure out which candidate they were trying to help get elected, which makes it all the more surprising that Merrick Garland’s corrupt and politicized Justice Department has indicted them at all.
According to the Washington Post, Kazemi and Kashian, 27, “allegedly sent threatening emails to try to scare voters, attempted to break into several states’ voting-related websites and gained access to a U.S. media company’s computer network.” This was a major operation: “Kazemi and Kashian allegedly tried to break into 11 state voter registration and information websites, according to the indictment. In one case, it alleges, they found a vulnerability that allowed them to successfully download information about more than 100,000 of that state’s voters.”
They did all this to help their candidate, Old Joe Biden: the hackers “sent threatening emails to thousands of voters in October, including many Democrats. They allegedly claimed to be Proud Boys and threatened the email recipients with physical attacks if they did not change party affiliation and vote for President Donald Trump.”

Clearly, an email purporting to be from the Proud Boys and threatening violence against people who didn’t vote for Trump was designed to arouse righteous indignation in Democrat voters and ensure that they stayed on the reservation and cast their vote for Old Joe and his cackling running mate. That is not the kind of election interference that the establishment media is generally willing to discuss, and so the Post hastens to assure its readers that the Islamic Republic’s hackers went to all that effort and had absolutely nothing to show for it: “Officials said Thursday that they do not believe anyone switched their party affiliation or voted for a different candidate as a result of the emails.”
That’s great. However, the fact remains that, in the words of Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s national security division, Kazemi and Kashian “waged a targeted, coordinated campaign to erode confidence in the integrity of the U.S. electoral system and to sow discord among Americans.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Iranian punks. But this is a middling problem.
The much bigger problem? Why, America now has a complete fool as POTUS, a puppet, and who has always been a fool (anyone doubting me, well then, name one real accomplishment of this half-century political hack which has benefitted America?—the man couldn’t even run a Dairy Queen let alone the USA and he voted to tax Social Security recipients when Senator twice over, first at 50% and then at 85%, all the while lying about how he is for the middle class). And now he is a fool with even less of the mediocre mind he used to have at “his best.” Biden is a continuing travesty in the making.
It’s like the 3rd Century AD Roman Empire all over again—the Barrack Emperors and all that, though I sincerely hope that Biden is merely an aberration and not indicative of some 20 “Emperors” to come in the next half century. If so, America is done and the world is done. Concluding otherwise is indicative of ignorance or deceit.
For the record, I will never call Biden “President.” What a disgrace of such a magnificent office to do so.

The Dems were helped by foreign, hostile actors who want to weaken the US by electing a weak puppet. How many other cases are going to tumble out of the Dem closet.
I believe that there will be thousands of verifiable cases of electoral interference that will be discovered in the next 2 or 3 years. It will devastate the Dem Party so much that they may never regain the trust of the American people. They will be the ‘Fake News Party’ and the ‘Electoral Fraud Party’ for the next 100 years.
Rufolino says
But will the MAN allow the public to know about all the “electoral interference” ?
Rufolino says
Correction “MSM” .

Correction, “MSM” .

Agree with every word, Wellington. The Bribed-man is so bumbling and clueless, I call him President Magoo.

All grimly true, Mortimer.

Wellington says,
“he voted to tax Social Security recipients when Senator twice over, first at 50% and then at 85%, all the while lying about how he is for the middle class).”
That is a correct statement.
The result was that middle and higher income retirees now have 85% of their Social Security benefits taxed. And since most lower income recipients pay no federal income tax, it does not affect them.
Just shows that Biden was a “progressive” even before the term was popular.

Wellington, an older, left loon here in Canada sent me an email telling me the U.S. is far better of with the mail-in guy, than having Trump and that other guy – – he referred to them as dum and dummer. What can I say?

Of course, Joe Biden is an unethical, lying cheating vote stealing “president” impostor.

The entire house of cards. The fraud election. It was a conspiracy among so-called friends and enemies. Most of the fraud came within the borders of the USA. There were other countries involved, some friend, some enemy. Just for your information out there, We Americans, we will not forget you or what you have done.
Walter Sieruk says
Before the November election I had keyboard that “Joe Biden doesn’t belong in the White House, he belongs in a senior citizens retirement community designed for assisted living.”
Now after that hoax of an election that reeks of the corruption of voter fraud, which no doubt Biden had his sinister hand in with his scheme to make himself President.
So it’s now better and more appropriate to keyboard that to keyboard the message that “Joe Biden doesn’t belong in the White House, he belongs in prison.”
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is a despicable cheating vote stealing awful old goat . Biden is a problem for America as well as the other Western nations that since he’s sitting in the Oval Office masquerading as a real US President.
With all that power and influence at his command, Biden is a very dangerous incompetent weak feeble-minded old man..
In addition, Biden deserves no respect, not even a little bit, none at all. Speaking just for myself, the only emotion that I have for Biden is a strong feeling of contempt.
Linde Barrera says
Thank you everyone, for your comments about this topic.
I have a friend who told me “the real Joe Biden is dead and an actor has replaced him.” Could this possibly be true? Or is
my friend under the spell of a conspiracy
theorist?
These are scary times. They seem like
those described in the famous book
“1984”. ??
gravenimage says
Linde, if there was an actor posing as Joe Biden, why would anyone have chosen one who is so incoherent? This is the real deal–not that it much helps…

“Misinformation campaign”?
Well, it didn’t work.
Remember, they had to insert about 15 million fake votes into the process.
