Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick declared Tuesday that he will seek a recount in 12 Pennsylvania counties to determine the outcome of the May 17 GOP Senate primary vote. This was done to ensure that McCormick O and Mehmet O remain within a narrow margin.

McCormick trails Dr. Mehmet Oz by just over 800 votes out of more than 1.3million votes cast. All counties must start by Wednesday, June 7. They are also required to submit their recount results by noon on the next day.

McCormick’s top campaign official complained that they were doing a recount of a count for which he didn’t know the results. Two is the Department of State with completely different [results].

The official stated that they would like to have a hand count of 12 counties today to see if there is a delta between the information provided by the counties and the data provided by the Department of State. There are between 15-20 000 votes and the difference between what was actually counted and what was. ”

According to the official, “We will understand and recount by hand any anomalies and have receipts that can be verified and trusted.” ”

Oz, a heart surgeon and author, was a well known celebrity doctor who hosted the TV’s “Dr. Oz Show” until last year’s launch. McCormick, a former hedge fund executive, West Point graduate, Gulf War vet, and Treasury Department official under President George W. Bush, were the top vote-getters among the seven GOP Senate candidates.

The crucial general election battleground state is one of the few that will succeed retiring Republican Senator Pat Toomey. This race will decide whether the GOP wins the Senate majority at the November Midterms.

McCormick would pay for the cost of the hand count. One campaign representative said that a list was available which included precincts as well as counties where the undervote was outside of the norm. We request hand recounts in these areas …..

These 12 counties include Allegheny, York, Centre and Chester. Cumberland. Erie. Lancaster. Monroe. Schuykill. Delaware. Bucks. Westmoreland.

Oz or McCormick will face Lt. Governor. John Fetterman won easily the Democratic nomination. Officials said hand recounts could be performed in 12 counties simultaneously with the state-mandated automatic machines recount “because we don’t want to delay it.” “We don’t want delays. We want Republican primary voters to know that there is a winner. We can all vote for the nominee and defeat Fetterman this fall.

Oz declared that he was the “presumptive nominator” on Friday as automatic recounts began. He claimed that he was honored to have been nominated for the United States Senate by the Republican Presumptive nomination. Oz encouraged Republicans to “unite.” ”

McCormick and Oz worked tirelessly to secure the endorsement of Trump’s former president. He has been there 16 months and continues to play a crucial role in the party primaries.

Trump supported Oz last week and, thanks in large part, to his support during campaign’s final days, he was a major player in the race. Many right-leaning people were concerned about Oz’s conservative credentials. Trump’s vocal support for Oz helped allay their concerns.

Trump has been trying to re-litigate his 2020 presidential election loss over a year and a half, and continues to make unproven claims about voter Frau — the day following the primary, he stated via social media that “in Pennsylvania, they cannot count the Mail-in Ballots It is a BIG MESS.”

Connecticut officials are seeking to hire a “misinformation sheriff,” in order to prevent the spread of “misinformation” during the 2022 midterm elections. $150,000 is the cost of the state’s greater effort to educate the public about all issues related to the election before the midterms. Copy of Gov. A copy of Gov.

The New York Times said that the misinformation chief would be responsible for monitoring “far-right social media networks” in order to “root out early false narratives about voting, and then urge companies to remove or flag those posts that contain false information.”

Scott Bates, deputy secretary of state, seemed to defend the new position, asserting that “misinformation could erode people’s confidence in elections.” Officials, however, said that they “view it as a critical threat for the democratic process.”

Officials in Connecticut stated that the goal of the state was to monitor the internet for election falsities. The Connecticut legislature approved $2,000,000 for television, radio, mail, and radio education campaigns about the election process. It also hired an election security officer.

Officials stated that they prefer candidates who speak both English and Spanish to combat misinformation spread in both languages. The officer will track viral misinformation posts on Facebook and Instagram, Twitter, YouTube and YouTube and search for new narratives and memes on fringe social media platforms as well as the dark web.

The budget also states that $4 million was allocated by the state for capital funds to the Democracy Initiatives Project. This project “will work to upgrade both the central voter registration system as well as the election management software.”

News of Connecticut’s intention to hire a misinformation chief is following the Biden administration’s attempts to implement such on an international scale via the Department of Homeland Security’s Disinformation Governance Board. This was “paused” after weeks of protest from Americans. Nina Jankowicz, the controversial leader of the radical left-wing misinformation department, has since resigned.

Rebekah Jones was the fired Florida health officer who became a media darling after accusing the Ron DeSantis government of pressuring to alter the state’s COVID data. Her claims fell apart quietly last week.

Jones claims that the Florida Department of Health altered coronavirus numbers at Republican governor’s request to allow state to reopen during the peak of the pandemic. An internal report from Inspector General Michael J. Bennett who investigates whistleblower complaints in Florida, declared Jones’ story to be false.

The report stated that “based upon an analysis of all the evidence, the alleged behavior, as described by complainant, didn’t occur.”

William A. Jacobson, Cornell Law School professor and media critic believes that Jones’ mainstream media coverage continues the tradition of treating unbelievable people as credible based upon how damaging their accusations would have been to a Republican in power.

Jones spent two years making public claims about DeSantis’ falsification of data. She used her media fame to become a Democratic candidate for Congress, challenging Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).

Jones’ initial claims were supported by mainstream media. The glowing coverage raised her profile at a national level.

Ex-CNN star Chris Cuomo made Jones semi-regular, speaking with her at least five times. Jones was also featured on MSNBC, The Miami Herald, The Washington Post, and NBC News. She was also profiled in Cosmopolitan.

Jeffrey McCall, a professor of journalism at DePauw University, said that Jones’s support by the establishment media was less about correcting COVID data than it was about discrediting DeSantis.

“The media narrative about DeSantis was that DeSantis recklessly mismanaged Covid while trying reopen his state. Stories had to be promoted to support this theme. McCall stated that Jones’s story fit this narrative perfectly. CNN promoted Jones’s claims with insufficient support and vetting, making her the media darling.

Clay Waters, a Media Research Center contributor, wrote that Jones’ “sordid story” is now officially over.

The Miami Herald published an editorial a year ago praising Jones for her “whistleblower status”. The title of Jones’s article was not remarkable at the time and didn’t confer any credibility on her claims. Anyone who worked or served in a Florida state agency can claim criminal wrongdoing and is protected from retaliation. The Herald nonetheless celebrated her status, calling it “a victory over state secrecy” for all of us.

Critics attacked the Herald’s editorial before the inspector general’s investigation disproved her claims.

Waters stated that the Herald published “provocative articles” in support Jones. Waters also minimized the disturbing allegations of Jones cyberstalking a boyfriend and other encounters with the law.

Charles C. W. Cooke, a senior writer at National Review, didn’t like the Herald’s coverage and replied to a tweet by a reporter after the report of the inspector general was revealed.

Jones was fired for insubordination. National Review uploaded her personnel files and found repeated infractions by her superiors. These included postings on social media about data and web products owned by the Department without permission from management or communications, and possibly exposing personal data on the GIS dashboard she managed.

Thursday’s California State Senate vote to eliminate the requirement that students who threaten violence against school officials must be reported.

Prior to the California law being passed, the existing law required that school officials were “attacked or assaulted by any pupil” and they be reported the incident to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

California adopted the law two days after an 18-year-old gunman shot at a Uvalde elementary school, Texas, killing two adults, and injuring 19 children.

ACLU California Action endorsed the law. It was hailed as a victory for racial equality.

“Students who make contact with law enforcement are less likely than others to graduate high school, and they are more likely to end up in prison or jail.” The organization released a statement saying that these harms are disproportionately felt by students from marginalized groups, such as Black, Indigenous, or Latinx students.

California State Senator Steven Bradford, the bill’s sponsor, stated to the Daily Caller that “our existing system has led us to alarming disparities among the type of students most likely to suffer from these harms.” Students of color, Latinx students, black students, and students with disabilities are often referred to law enforcement and cited.

“SB 1273 will decrease law enforcement involvement in schools and give teachers, administrators, who often are best suited to determine how to support students, the flexibility, power, and power they need,” Bradford explained. “Teachers and administrators will still have the ability to call law enforcement if that is the appropriate response to a particular incident but they won’t be required to.”

California simply has too many problems to even keep count of them all.

I think it’s a good idea to alert police to the possibility of monitoring social media posts by would-be murderers.

ACLU endorsed the language of the bill. According to the ACLU, students who have made contact with law enforcement are less likely than their peers to graduate high school and they are more likely to end up in jail.

The ACLU conveniently overlooks the fact that children often “make contact” with law enforcement. How’s that for a euphemism! They were doing something illegal.

Scared Straight was a documentary I watched 40 years ago. Although I’m not sure if the film gave the children a taste of prison life, it left an impression on me and my friends. Now we are supposed to treat budding criminals like children and hope that they don’t become felons.

This is what we have come to expect from the ACLU. Unfortunately, it’s also what we have come to expect from Sacramento.

The once-Golden State is filled with self-inflicted errors.

California’s water infrastructure was built for half of its current population in the 20th century. The drought-prone state is not serious about building new infrastructure.

California is home to some of the most expensive gasoline in the country, but it is also closing down the nuclear power plants that are needed for electric cars.

Here’s a video by Micheal Shellenberger, longshot California gubernatorial hopeful, that exposes the truth about California’s homeless crisis.

Too long, didn’t you? These “homeless camps” are actually 24/7 opioid flea markets that are ignored by police and subsidized locally by the local governments.

I could go on.

This headline said that “There’s so much wrong with California, I don’t know where it all starts.” But I really don’t know where I should end. I will just quit and remember the state that I loved so many decades ago.

Elon Musk continues making waves almost daily. That’s because the billionaire and likely future Twitter owner decided on Tuesday to bring corporate wokeism about “pride month” to his attention.

June is fast approaching, and you all know what that means. Every major corporation will be using rainbow colors in advertising and avatars to demonstrate how they feel about the cause. Musk mocked it with a meme, which immediately attracted wailing and gnashing teeth.

Many people missed the point and took Musk’s post as an anti-gay screed.

Musk isn’t really commenting on the necessity for pride month. Musk is merely pointing out that corporations, which otherwise wouldn’t care as much about the issue, spend every year trying to make a profit from it. This is similar to companies using “green advertising” as a way of virtue-signaling customers into their doors or onto one’s site. It eventually feels exploitative and cynical.

It is possible that the in-your-face nature of the whole thing causes more division than unity regarding gay pride month. On social media, I recently pointed out that there are at least 114 days devoted throughout the year to LGBT movements, whatever they may be at the moment.

This is absurd at the moment. There are currently 114 days in the year that are dedicated to the LGBT movement.

Soon, we will run out of time to use the virtue signal. What then?

I digress. The idea that corporations should spend 30 consecutive days promoting the LGBT movement strikes most people as absurd. Although it is true that not everyone will say that out loud, I don’t think there is any bigotry in noting something which could be objectively deemed absurd. Is it possible that the CEO of a company making cookies or televisions cares about Pride Month?

You will respond, “Well, why would you care?” “Yes, but that’s from the same people who are unable to comprehend why corporations don’t comment on left-wing narratives (see: Florida Parental Rights in Education Law). So I find their sudden respect for corporate communication rather convenient.

Musk is a push-button kind of guy. It’s not clear how well this will serve Musk in the long term, but we can enjoy the entertainment. He is still a left-winger, as can be seen in his anti-gun stances. But he is a master at trolling the left.

Illinois school instructs teachers to adjust their grading practices based on race.

Oak Park and River Forest High School school board members approved a plan for “equalizing” testing scores between different racial groups. Many would assume that “equalizing test scores between racial groups” means providing extra tutoring, mentoring, and other learning tools for minority students.

Not at OPRF.

At a May 26 meeting, school board members debated the plan called “Transformative Education Professional Development & Grading”, presented by Laurie Fiorenza, Assistant Superintendent for student learning.

To equalize test scores across racial groups, OPRF has ordered its teachers to remove from their grading assessments variables that it believes disproportionally harm the grades of black students. According to the plan, they will not be penalized for failing to submit assignments or missing classes, as well as misbehaving at school.

This proposal, which spans ten pages, outlines bullet points that can be used to grade race according to a system of grading. It seems there is no shame or irony in the process.

When it comes to the treatment of minority learning abilities by liberals, we refer to “the soft bias of low expectations”.

This isn’t “soft bigotry”. It is blatant and outright bigotry.

If I was told that they are lowering standards for my children’s education because they are black, my loving, educated mind would be lost. Biden claimed that election integrity laws are the new Jim Crow, however, the “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Agenda” is really Jim Crow disguised as progress. It segregates students based on race and gives preference and consideration based on race.

If you don’t think that’s racist, I have an innocent nuclear power station in Iran for sale.

Fox News reports that Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of lying to the FBI after two weeks’ worth of deliberations.

Sussmann was charged with lying to FBI General Counsel James Baker when he claimed that he was not representing any client. According to the prosecution, he claimed that he was working for Rodney Joffe, a tech executive, and Clinton campaign. Evidence was presented by the prosecution that Sussmann had actually billed the Clinton campaign during his meeting with James Baker. He also spread the falsehood about Alfa-Bank to him.

We do not yet know the reasons for this decision. It was obvious that he was representing Clinton’s campaign. Baker testified that he wouldn’t have referred the matter to further investigation if he knew about the Clinton connection. This would have satisfied the materiality requirement.

Fox News:

One federal employee told the judge that they had donated to Democrats in 2016, while another employee told him they disliked Trump. The judge was told by both of these jurors that they were impartial throughout the trial.

A teacher, an illustrator, and a mechanic were also part of the jury. One juror was a parent of a child on the same high school team as Sussmann.

Cooper was told by the overwhelming majority of jurors that they had never heard of this case before being assigned to jury duty.

I am going to leave you with a funny tweet that I found regarding Sussman being found not guilty.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) would likely be a performance artist in a far-left club in New York if she weren’t involved in politics. She seems to need constant attention but doesn’t do anything consequential.

AOC reported to Bloomberg News that she was thinking about selling her Tesla after Elon Musk teased her online.

He is a billionaire. Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive Democrat, said that he could not care less about his views when asked about his support for the GOP.

Ocasio-Cortez bought her Model 3 to travel between Washington and her Bronx-Queens district after Covid-19 hit in 2020. Now, the New York representative wants to ditch it for an electric vehicle made by unionized workers. “At the time, it was the only EV that could get me from New York to Washington on like one, or one-and-a-half charges,” she said. “I would love to switch.”

It’s funny because she cares about him and whines. Did she know that it wasn’t made by unionized workers? She claims to believe in socialist principles.

She claimed it was the only electric car that could get her from New York to Washington, D.C. in less than one hour. This endorsement is both praises for the car and criticism of the practicality of electric cars. She doesn’t seem to be able to understand that. Musk should make this an advertisement.

Elon Musk replied to her remarks with a funny response. He then asked which Americans were more trusted: billionaires or politicians.

The overwhelming support of billionaires was enough to end her socialist despair.

A colleague offered to help her, and she got the same result. AOC is out of luck.

See, how amusing Twitter can be at times.

Robert Dalessandro lives by Robert Dalessandro’s motto: “Time won’t dimen the glory of their acts.”
Former U.S. Army Officer, historian, author, and Gulf War veteran, is now the deputy secretary and leader for the American Battle Monuments Commission. His team in the world is responsible for the preservation of the memories of more than 200k American soldiers and civilians who were killed in combat overseas.

Arlington, Va., home to the ABMC, is preparing for Memorial Day ceremonies at 26 American military cemeteries all over the globe, from France and the Philippines.

The commission manages a global network consisting of 32 memorials to America’s fallen.

Livestreaming of the ABMC’s Memorial Day services will be available Monday at 9 a.m. from the Netherlands American Cemetery, Holland by the ABMC ET.

His Navy officer father, Lt.Cdr. Joseph Dalessandro was often assigned to the Pentagon, northern Virginia, or the huge naval port of Norfolk, at the mouth Chesapeake Bay.

Dalessandro served 29 years in the Army (1980-1909) as an operational and “history” officer. This included a stint at the U.S. Army Center for Military History. He was promoted to the rank colonel.

Family trips to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania inspired his love for history and desire to preserve the memories American war heroes.

He was a young boy who marvelled at the monuments to the dead that were scattered across the battlefield — some large in scale, others small and touching in their reverent simplicity.

He said that at ABMC “it is our duty, every day, to take care those who gave the final full measure,” Dalessandro said. The last four words were a poetic reference from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address to the fallen.

Before he was awarded his Army commission, Dalessandro studied at the Virginia Military Institute. He has three master’s degrees in archeology and museum science from William & Mary University, George Washington University, and the Army War College.

His works include “The Great War: a World War I Historical Collection”, a children’s book, and “The Great War” which is now available for purchase.

He is particularly interested in World War I. He has written several books about the conflict, including “Over There” and “Willing Patriots”.

The former secretary of the ABMC, Senator Max Cleland (D.Ga.), an Army veteran who died last year, invited him to join.

The majority of the more than 200,000 Americans he cared for — approximately 125,000 — were under chilling rows of Stars of David and white marble crosses.

These stunning images of meticulously kept gravestones are popularized in American iconography. They can be seen in the opening and ending scenes of “Saving Private Ryan,” a World War II epic.

These are the hallmarks of ABMC cemeteries.

It is one of 25 cemeteries and monuments in France, but it is not the largest among a worldwide network of memorials to American war dead.

The small Suresnes American Cemetery is home to less than 1,600 Americans, most of them from World War I.

It is perched on a hill with breathtaking views of Paris and the Eiffel Tower.

The Philippines has the largest ABMC cemetery, located on a crest that overlooks the Manila skyline.

16.859 soldiers who died in the Pacific during World War II are buried here. It also remembers 36,286 missing persons.

American youth rose heroically from the Atlantic Ocean on June 6, 1944 (D-Day), to liberate Europe.

Many cemeteries have monumental art or chapels that add dignity to the grounds. The jaw-dropping Spirit of American Youth Rising From the Waves is located at the top of rows of graves that overlook Omaha Beach. This is where American youth bravely rose from the Atlantic Ocean on D-Day 6/6/44, liberating Europe.

These cemeteries are home to many famous Americans.

Gen. George S. Patton is buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery. He looks over rows upon rows of the dead as though he’s still leading soldiers in the eternal battle.

U.S. Army Sergeant. Warren “Skip” Muck, and PFC Alex Penkala became posthumously famous as the two paratroopers featured in the HBO World War II series “Band of Brothers.”

As they tried to rescue another man, they were decimated by a German bomb in their foxhole at the Battle of the Bulge. Their horrific deaths were the psychological bottom line of the true-life “Band of Brothers”, a story about the “breaking point” in human psychology.

Both are buried in Luxembourg, a short distance from Patton.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and Brothers Quentin, both sons of President Teddy Roosevelt were buried side-by-side in Normandy. Quentin was a World War I pilot. He was killed, buried and shot down elsewhere in France.

Teddy Jr., who was more than 25 years old, led the invasion of Utah Beach on D-Day and was awarded Medal of Honor for the heroism he displayed that day.

His contributions to D-Day’s invasion were documented in the 1959 book as well as the 1962 ensemble-cast Hollywood epic, “The Longest Day.”

At the request of former President Roosevelt, Quentin Roosevelt’s corpse was moved to Normandy next to his brother’s. He is the only World War I veteran to be buried in the Normandy American Cemetery.

Most graves have names of regular Americans, who Stephen Ambrose calls “citizen soldiers”.

It is also the only site in the entire ABMC network that World War I and World War II service personnel are buried together, according to Ben Brands, the organization’s historian.

Most graves have names of ordinary Americans. Stephen Ambrose described them as “citizen soldiers”. They achieved extraordinary feats on the battlefield.

General John J. Pershing gave the American Battle Monuments Commission’s motto “glory of your deeds” to its motto.

He was the first director of the commission and led the American Expeditionary Force “Over There”, during World War I.

In 1923, the ABMC was established in the wake of the massacre of World War I in which 117,000 Americans died in a matter of months.

Brands stated that families whose loved ones died in combat had the option to have the body repatriated to the United States or to have the remains “interred overseas at an American military cemetery where they [would] continue being cared for, in perpetuity by the United States government.”

Surprise! 40% of American families choose to have their children buried in Europe, contrary to popular belief.

In World War II, families were faced with the same difficult choice. This led to a dramatic increase in the global reach and size of the ABMC mission.

As a result, many battlefield cemeteries, such as the one in Mexico City where 1,500 soldiers were killed in the Mexican-American War, were brought under the ABMC umbrella, and given a new sense of dignity.

Mexico City National Cemetery is home to 750 American soldiers who are not identified, but “known but God,” according to a marker at their common burial place.

The remains of men or women are found in gravestones all over the network.

After Hunter Biden’s admission to gun safety negligence, President Joe Biden addressed Americans Monday about gun control.

“The Constitution, the Second Amendment were never absolute. Biden stated that you couldn’t buy cannons when the Second Amendment was passed. “I believe things have gotten so bad, that everyone is becoming more rational about it.”
Joe Biden’s progun control talk points are in contradiction to the standard that was applied to Biden and his family. According to the New York Post, Hunter in 2021 lied about his drug addiction to get a gun in 2018. Hunter was never charged with any wrongdoing in relation to this lie. The weapon has since disappeared.

Hunter stated in a text message that the FBI was involved in the case. Speaking about Hallie Biden, his former sister-in-law-turned-lover, Hunter said she threw the gun into a grocery store dumpster in Wilmington, Delaware:

The gun was taken out of my trunk lockbox and she threw it in Jansens’ garbage can. She then told me that it was my problem.

When the FBI and police arrived on the scene, she claimed that she took it because she was afraid I would harm myself from my drug and alcohol problems and her volatile relationship.

Hunter also added a string to Hunter’s text: “And then I freaked when it was missing ten minutes after she took. And when she returned to get it after I scared her s-t it was gone, which led to a state police investigation into me. True story.”

The establishment media reported in 2021 that Hunter’s reckless gun shooting was a result of FBI involvement. This would not only be corrupt but would also contradict Joe Biden’s rhetoric on gun control. Politico reported:

A curious thing happened at that time. Secret Service agents approached Hunter’s owner and requested paperwork regarding the sale. According to two people, one has firsthand knowledge and the other was briefed after the fact by a Secret Service agent.

The gun store owner refused the paperwork. He believed that Secret Service officers were trying to conceal Hunter’s ownership of a missing gun to prevent it from being used in a crime. Ron Palmieri, the gun store owner, eventually turned the papers over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is responsible for federal gun laws.

According to the Secret Service, there is no record of agents investigating the incident. Joe Biden was not under protection at that time and stated through a spokesperson that he had no knowledge of any Secret Service involvement.

Biden isn’t the only one to mislead people into believing they couldn’t buy cannons when the Second Amendment was created. This talking point has been disproven by outlets as diverse as the Washington Post and Politifact.
