    2022: A NOBLE TRADITION
    OF PEACEFUL TRANSFERS OF POWER (1789-2021)
    RETURNS.

    It is significant that, not only did the American electorate overwhelmingly reject election deniers on November 9, but none of Trump's hand-picked lickspittles who were defeated whined that the elections (let alone an airy-fairy "Landslide!") had been stolen by dastards unknown. They conducted themselves as adults, and as patriots.

    All respected America's noble tradition that had distinguished governance of, by, and for the People since the nation's founding.

    Tudor Dixon Republican nominee for governor of Michigan: "I called Governor Whitmer this morning to concede and wish her well."

    Mehmet Oz Republican nominee for Senate from Pennsylvania "This morning, I called John Fetterman and congratulated him. I wish him and his family all the best, both personally and as our next United States Senator."

    Paul LePage Republican nominee for governor of Maine: "I accept the results of yesterday's election."

    Bob Stefanowski Republican nominee for governor of Connecticut: "Connecticut gets it right, we had a good election, a fair election and now we have to come together to get it done."

    and


    Stacey Abrams Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia: "It is good to be here in this moment, surrounded by your love and support. And let me begin by offering congratulations to Gov. Brian Kemp."

    Sean Patrick Maloney Incumbent Democratic nominee for New York's 18th Congressional District: "I don't like to lose, but my opponent won this race. He won it fair and square, and that means something. So I'm going to step aside, and I had a good run."

    Tim Ryan Democratic nominee for Senate from Ohio: "I had the privilege to concede
    this race to J.D. Vance. Because the way this country operates is that you lose an election, you concede. You respect the will of the people. We can't have a system where if you win, it's a legitimate election, and if you lose, someone stole it. That is not how we can move forward in the United States."

    Integrity is re-emerging, despite the putrid vestiges of egomaniacal derangement:


    Might the nation relapse into a loser's goon attacks on police defending our Congress and our democracy in 2024?

    The price of freedom is vigilance.

    America is back!

    In the days following the 2020 election, chaos erupted at the main absentee ballot counting center in Detroit.

    "Stop the count! Stop the count!" people yelled as they banged on the windows that stood between them and the people trying to tally votes. Social media teemed with false claims of ballots being wheeled in under the cover of night.

    This year's midterms couldn't have looked more different.

    "What we had in 2022 [at that counting center] was smooth, organized, serene even," said Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's Democratic secretary of state.

    On the Wednesday after voting finished, Republican candidates for governor and state attorney general, who had denied the 2020 election results, conceded their races.

    And it was at that moment, Benson says, she realized the nation's election workers were on their way to passing their first real test since Trump's sustained attack on democracy.

    Also, it looks as if democracy in Brazil has survived the "Trump of the South":

    You may be frustrated by harboring delusions of a "Red Wave!"

    Respect democracy.

    Sensible. The American electorate has spoken, and the reality is insurmountable.

    The most encouraging sign of a return to normalcy is Trump's hand-picked losers respecting the will of the People.

    I certainly hope so. Stealing electrons could have dire ramifications for the material universe.

    Aborted Run: Soros-Backed Candidate Loses Arizona DA Race, Blames ‘Corruption’

    Julie Gunnigle (D.), a George Soros-backed prosecutor whose radical pro-abortion stance made waves throughout the campaign, has lost the Maricopa County attorney's special election to Republican Rachel Mitchell.

    Mitchell was winning by 4 points with 94 percent of ballots tabulated when Gunnigle conceded on Monday. The Democrat said the results prove "a continuation of the legacy of corruption within the Maricopa County Attorney's Office." Mitchell, a veteran prosecutor who has served as acting Maricopa County attorney since March, declared victory in a press release later that day.........

    No argument from me. Trump’s foolish behavior from Mid-December 2020 ended my support for him.

    There have been other complaints about election results. Check out the results of the 1824 presidential election and the “corrupt bargain.”

    The abortion issue would have been the least of the worries for the people of Maricopa County if the Soros backed candidate had won. The Soros guys oppose prosecuting prosecuting violent and repeat offenders. Look at the DA’s in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and the one that got the boot in San Francisco. The criminals in Philadelphia call the DA there "Uncle Larry" because he's so easy on them.

    If you see that a district attorney candidate has received a contribution from George Soros run like hell away from that guy or gal. The criminals will get to run wild. Soros is a sick man who has no respect for decent law abiding citizens.

    I think it had quite a bit to do with it in Maricopa County especially considering this" Julie Gunnigle dismissed Free Beacon report that she partnered with abortion clinics that sold fetal organs" along with her promise not to prosecute AZ's abortion law.
