Mornings with the One Percent™ Will Start at 9am Today! This Morning's Replay is Below

Arnold, CA…Mornings with the One Percent™ is live weekday mornings from 7-10am. The premise for the show is that the USDA ranked all 3,142 counties or county equivalents in the USA on a livability or desirability scale based on factors such as climate, scenic beauty, bodies of water for recreation, humidity and much more. All of our area ranked not only in the top one percent but in the top one half of one percent. So in the ups and downs of daily life remember you don’t have to be a Gates, Buffett or Bezos to live like the one percent. Just live here!

Texas Republican Party Rejects Biden Presidency
Posted on: 2022-06-20 09:40:36   By: Anonymous
 
This is the beginning of the rejection of our Constitution and laws by the Republican party. This is how a fascist dictatorship begins. Only more chaos will come as Republicans in Washington work to end our Democracy. Many on Jan 6 knew full well what trump and his cult was doing, and many worked to have it succeed .

The Texas Republican Party adopted a new platform declaring that the 2020 election violated the Constitution and President Biden “was not legitimately elected.”

The Texas GOP adopted the 40-page platform at its biennial convention in Houston, which concluded this weekend.

“We reject the certified results of the 2020 presidential election, and we hold that acting President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. was not legitimately elected by the people of the United States,” the platform reads.

CNN turning against the Failure in the WH
Posted on: 2022-06-20 11:34:27   By: Anonymous
 



CNN Capitol Hill reporter Melanie Zanona said Sunday on "Inside Politics" that Democrats have been "panicking privately" over President Biden's inflation messaging for months.

"Inside Politics" host Abby Philip asked Zanona about a meeting Democrats had with White House aides on the Hill this past week. "How did that go over?" she asked.

"Not well, to put it mildly, listen, Democrats, they have been panicking privately. They have been saying for months, back in December they started pressing the White House to get a handle on inflation, start talking about this issue," Zanona said.

Inflation soared to 8.6% in May, hitting ANOTHER 40 YEAR HIGH

She said that had been pushing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to get bills on the House floor, "even if its just messaging votes," in an effort to show voters that they're acting on it.
BUT Nancy WAS UNABLE TOO BECAUSE LIKE WHEN THE PANDEMIC FIRST HIT US SHE WAS, JUST LIKE NOW, TOO BUSY TRYING TO STOP TRUMP BECAUSE SINGLE HANDLEY HE KNEW HOW TO "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" COMPARED TO THE LEFTS
"MAKE MONEY FOR ME AND MY FRIENDS" POLICY

When the officials came to the hill, they told Congress to "blame other people, blame corporate greed, start talking about what we're doing legislatively to talk about these issues," according to Zanona.

She said that Democrats did not feel "armed' with a method on inflation messaging following the meeting, adding that officials were late to the meeting.
"Never good to show up late to a meeting like that," Phillip said. Another panelist said it was "on brand."

    Re: HILLARY CRIES THAT THE 2016 ELECTION WAS STOLEN FROM HER
    Posted on: 2022-06-20 13:06:01   By: Anonymous
     

    You're right, there goes our Constitution, our democracy as long as Democrats keep trying to change our voting laws so anyone can vote multiple times or when the government tries to install a "Ministry of Truth" like Biden keeps trying, trying to get that running just like Adolph Hitler did.
    Or are you too ignorant and stupid to know that your cult, is mirroring Nazi Germany?

    "Hillary Clinton suggested she had the 2016 election “stolen” from her during the latest stop of her slumping speaking tour."
    " Taking the stage with her husband Bill in Los Angeles Saturday night as part of the couple’s “Evening with the Clintons” tour, the former Democratic presidential nominee told the crowd she has been warning potential candidates they could suffer the same fate."
    "I think it’s also critical to understand that, as I’ve been telling candidates who have come to see me, you can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you,” the former secretary of state said.

    She's hardly the only prominent Democrat claiming to have been wrongly kept out of office. On Friday, Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams again claimed she won the state's 2018 gubernatorial race, despite losing to now-Gov. Brian Kemp."
    "I'm here to tell you a secret that makes Breitbart and [Fox News host] Tucker Carlson go crazy: We won,” Abrams said, according to The Houston Chronicle. “I am not delusional. I know I am not the governor of Georgia -- possibly yet."

BIDEN falls off his tricycle again
Posted on: 2022-06-20 12:14:05   By: Anonymous
 
Here he goes again, the president who abandoned Americans in a hostile country...left Americans behind...something NO president has ever done before, is AGAIN blaming others for his self inflicted wounds.
"During his Monday chat with reporters, Biden sought to blame inflation on his predecessor Donald Trump — after previously citing COVID-19 supply chain bottlenecks, Russian President Vladimir Putin, congressional Republicans, oil companies, meat producers and trans-oceanic shipping companies."
"We also can move in a direction that we can provide for tax — increasing taxes on those in the corporate area as well as individuals as it relates to [former President Donald] Trump’s tax cut, which is inflationary,” Biden said. “You know, going out and buying a yacht doesn’t help the economy a whole lot.”
EXCEPT FOR THIS JOE, INFLATION WENT DOWN WHEN TRUMP DID IT.
"Biden blamed the December 2017 tax law for inflation despite the fact that annual US inflation actually dropped from 2.1% in 2017 to 1.9% in 2018. It is currently at 8.6%."

WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT THE IT'S HIS FAULT, IT'S HIS FAULT, IT'S HIS FAULT PRESIDENT...WHO CAN'T EVEN GET OFF HIS TRICYCLE WITHOUT FALLING OVER.

    Distraction While The Insurrection By Election Is Planned by GOP
    Posted on: 2022-06-20 12:22:40   By: Anonymous
     
    More look over there, not here-America is about to become a Republican dictatorship , what the Republicans have been focused on since Nixon.
    trump was too stupid, and his legion inept, but they tried, practice for 2024.

    The 2024 election is being set up now for a full election theft a complete take over coup style by Republicans. with 18 states saying they will not elect their electors by the popular vote, the GOP legislature will send it's own electors, which failed last time. This is a perverted interpretation of the Constitution, what the Republicans have been doing for 2 decades.

    So try to distract , you are a part the planned loss of our Democracy, you must be so proud. Traitors

      A Republican win would immediately cut SS and Medicare by 21+ % according to Sen Rick Scott and Sen Lindsey Graham. Many more cuts to many corner stone parts of America. No regulatory agencies as the impending SCOTUS case ruling will end most corporate regulations. Who cares about clean water, air, food? Republicans don't.
      The Gorsuch decision is the start of ending the people's control over the corporations.
      Watch for it, along with a abortion ban , and loss of gun laws.

      This is the Republican plan-America go F yourself.

Nazi Germany and Biden both had a "Ministry of Truth" thx REPUBLICIANS stopped it for now
Posted on: 2022-06-20 13:09:03   By: Anonymous
 



Joe Biden has no actual base of support. Who are the Biden Democrats who have been pining for him all these years? The left-wing acceded to his desires so long as he did what they wanted and was seen as a competent alternative. He tried very hard at the first and clearly failed miserably at the second."
"Democrats are running from Joe Biden like scalded dogs. Joe Biden’s presidency is an utter disaster with crises from baby formula to gas prices to retirement funds disappearing. And the voters are in a mood to punish him for it. Just this week, Mayra Flores, an outstanding candidate in Texas’ 34th congressional district, became the first Republican to flip a majority-Hispanic Democratic seat in South Texas in over 100 years. This same congressional seat was won by former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela by 13 points in 2020. Joe Biden will preside over historic losses for his party this year."




The Democrats] have no choice but to cut him loose. He’s the worst president potentially in history. He’s turned our beautiful country into an absolute dumpster fire. Americans were sold a lemon with Joe Biden. The promise was normalcy. Instead, it’s been self-inflicted disaster after another and complete chaos. It’s easy to see why they hid him in the basement during the 2020 election."

"He’s radioactive. Everything he touches turns into a flaming pile of garbage. Who wants the endorsement of a guy with a 33% approval rating? Putin’s endorsement is probably more popular at this point."

Our Coward In Chief hates our LEO, Border Patrol Agents and US Military Personnel
Posted on: 2022-06-20 13:11:27   By: Anonymous
 

What follows is an account from a French ISAF soldier that was stationed with American Warfighters in Afghanistan sometime in the past 6 years. This was copied and translated from an editorial French newspaper.

"We have shared our daily life with two US units for quite a while - they are the first and fourth companies of a prestigious infantry battalion whose name I will withhold for the sake of military secrecy. To the common man, it is a unit just like any other. But we live with them and got to know them, and we henceforth know that we have the honor to live with one of the most renowned units of the US Army - one that the movies brought to the public as series showing "ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary events". Who are they, those soldiers from abroad, how is their daily life, and what support do they bring to the men of our OMLT every day? Few of them belong to the Easy Company, the one the TV series focuses on. This one nowadays is named Echo Company, and it has become the support company.

They have a terribly strong American accent - from our point of view the language they speak is not even English. How many times did I have to write down what I wanted to say rather than waste precious minutes trying various pronunciations of a seemingly common word? Whatever State they are from, no two accents are alike and they even admit that in some crisis situations they have difficulties understanding each other. Heavily built, fed at the earliest age with Gatorade, proteins, and creatine- they are all heads and shoulders taller than us and their muscles remind us of Rambo. Our frames are amusingly skinny to them - we are wimps, even the strongest of us - and because of that they often mistake us for Afghans.


And they are impressive warriors! We have not come across bad ones, as strange as it may seem to you when you know how critical French people can be. Even if some of them are a bit on the heavy side, all of them provide us everyday with lessons in infantry know-how. Beyond the wearing of a combat kit that never seems to discomfort them (helmet strap, helmet, combat goggles, rifles etc.) the long hours of watch at the outpost never seem to annoy them in the slightest. On the one square meter wooden tower above the perimeter wall, they stand the five consecutive hours in full battle rattle and night vision goggles on top, their sight unmoving in the directions of likely danger.

No distractions, no pauses, they are like statues nights and days. At night, all movements are performed in the dark - only a handful of subdued red lights indicate the occasional presence of a soldier on the move. Same with the vehicles whose lights are covered - everything happens in pitch dark even filling the fuel tanks with the Japy pump. Here we discover America as it is often depicted: their values are taken to their paroxysm, often amplified by promiscuity and the loneliness of this outpost in the middle of that Afghan valley.

And combat? If you have seen Rambo you have seen it all - always coming to the rescue when one of our teams gets in trouble, and always in the shortest delay. That is one of their tricks: they switch from T-shirt and sandals to combat ready in three minutes. Arriving in contact with the enemy, the way they fight is simple and disconcerting: they just charge! They disembark and assault in stride, they bomb first and ask questions later - which cuts any pussyfooting short. Honor, motherland - everything here reminds of that: the American flag floating in the wind above the outpost, just like the one on the post parcels.

Even if recruits often originate from the hearth of American cities and gang territory, no one here has any goal other than to hold high and proud of the star spangled banner. Each man knows he can count on the support of a whole people who provides them through the mail all that an American could miss in such a remote front-line location: books, chewing gums, razorblades, Gatorade, toothpaste, etc. In such a way that every man is aware of how much the American people backs him in his difficult mission. And that is the first shock to our preconceptions: the American soldier is no individualist. The team, the group, the combat team are the focus of all his attention.”

Then came our 46th POTUS who not only abandoned all logic in our Afghanistan withdrawal, but he abandoned American citizens and thousands of Afghanistan's who risked their lives and their families lives when the US asked for help and with unspeakable courage those Afghanistan citizens came to fight and die by our sides only to be treated like crap on the soles of President Biden's feet.

Republican found guilty of voter fraud, Democrats found guilty of voter fraud
Posted on: 2022-06-20 13:14:37   By: Anonymous
 



While the debate over the integrity of the 2020 election rages on, prosecutors across the country have assembled evidence in court against multiple election officials, activists and candidates and even helped overturn the results in one race.
Those who have been recently investigated or charged in connection with election fraud – and in some cases have pled guilty – range from the local to the federal ballot box and date back to 2014.

Many of the cases involve mail-in ballots, which were more widely used amid the pandemic when voters feared going to polling stations or communities shuttered locations as part of lockdown mandates.

Phill Kline, director of election integrity watchdog the Amistad Project, told Just the News on Monday that while government officials cheating on elections is as old as the first election in Athens, what's new is some governments have been disinterested in scrutinizing the 2020 election.

"What's challenging now is a large group of government officials and members of one particular political party ... don't want to make an effort to identify" election fraud, he said.

But some evidence has broken through, resulting in high-profile prosecutions.

In Troy, New York, Kimberly Ashe-McPherson, a GOP councilwoman, resigned from the City Council after pleading guilty to federal identity theft for fraudulently submitting three absentee ballots in the state's primaries and general elections last year amid her reelection. She said an official on the Rensselaer County Board of Elections in New York gave her guidance on how to submit the ballots. Her plea agreement is part of an investigation led by the FBI into allegations of widespread ballot fraud in Rensselaer County.

In Pennsylvania, former Democratic Congressman Michael "Ozzie" Myers pled guilty to "conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election by orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania election," according to the Justice Department.

Myers bribed Domenick DeMuro, a Philadelphia Democratic ward chairman and election judge,
who pled guilty in 2020 to accepting bribes. Myers also admitted to another election conspiracy in which he worked with south Philadelphia election judge Marie Beren, who was charged separately and pled guilty in 2021.

In Arizona, Guillermina Fuentes, a former Democratic mayor of San Luis and board member for the the Gadsden Elementary School District, pled guilty earlier this month to ballot harvesting during the August 2020 primary election. Fuentes was part of a ballot-harvesting scheme in Yuma County in which early ballots were collected from voters and dropped off at a ballot box on primary election day.

In Compton, Calif., Councilman Isaac Galvan has been charged in connection with rigging votes in his June 2021 runoff election. The runoff followed a close primary with challenger Andre Spicer. The election victory by Galvan was overturned by a judge, who determined that four of the votes cast in the runoff – which was won by a single vote – were submitted by people living outside the council district. Spicer then replaced Galvan as councilman at the end of May. Galvan, a Democrat, has pled not guilty to the charges.

In Paterson, New Jersey, City Councilman Michael Jackson rejected a plea agreement last month in an election fraud case regarding mail-in ballots. The Democrat lawmaker was charged in June 2020, then was indicted by a grand jury in February 2021.

The charges include election fraud, fraud in casting mail-in vote, unauthorized possession of ballots, tampering with public records or information, and falsifying or tampering with records. Jackson ran and came in third for the mayoral election last month in Paterson. Democratic Councilman Alex Mendez has also been indicted on the same charges, in addition to ones related to falsifying one or more registrations. Mendez, who has denied the charges, competed with Jackson in the same mayoral election last month, placing second.

In Pendleton County, West Virginia, contract mail carrier Thomas Cooper pled guilty in July 2020 to "attempted election fraud" and "injury to the mail" and was sentenced to five years of probation, with the first six months home confinement.

The Pendleton County clerk received eight absentee ballot requests for the 2020 primary election connected to Cooper that appeared to be altered. Five of the requests appeared to have the political party changed from Democrat to Republican, and the other three were altered without the party being changed.

Kline also said that the novel problem in U.S. elections is that in using the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse, "many jurisdictions set aside basic law and principles to prevent fraud before it happened."

Kline noted that people have been convicted regarding election fraud in almost every election in U.S. history. However, the influx of millions of dollars in private funding for the administration of elections, in addition to fraud prevention safeguards being discarded and the government not investigating fraud, is "unprecedented."

    How does someone just 'find 11,780 votes' you ask?
    Tomorrow, Tuesday @ 10:00 am you can watch those Georgia republican election officials explain to the January 6th committee the fraud Donald Trump demanded they instigate for his benefit.
    Check it out.

All the bull *bleep* posts above, are just to deflect from republicans going through a criminal probe. That hopefully will lead to charges for these insurrectionists.
