Biden election veracity challenged

With light now shining on the Obama-Biden presidencies, arguably the lowest points in modern American history, it might seem that the 2020 election was seriously compromised, leading to the possible conclusion that the entire four-year Biden term was illegitimate.

An article in Gateway Pundit provides this report by National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard on matters that have come to light: “Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confi rmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it.

“Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals.

“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said.

She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.

“Appearing on Benny Johnson’s show, Gabbard revealed that a whistleblower from CISA (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) came forward with alarming evidence showing the government was aware of massive vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines ahead of the 2020 election, but deliberately chose to stay silent.”

Mamdani’s Socialist Plans for NYC

Columnist-author John Stossel provided an interesting take-away from Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s plans to open government grocery stores in New York City if he’s elected mayor.

Stossel listed several instances of New York City operating businesses normally operated by private businesses that didn’t turn out well, including the municipal bus system, which was built by individuals but taken over by the city when the owners planned an increase to the ride price from five to 10 cents.

The ride price today has ridden to $2.90 under city management.

Mamdani has assured his plan will make grocery prices more affordable.

A check on Google about city-owned grocery stores brought up this report: Kansas City Store Closed Due to Losses

The New York Post carried an article under this headline: “Kansas City spent more than $17 million in taxpayer money acquiring and renovating the Sun Fresh market. Despite its efforts, Sun Fresh has been plagued with empty shelves and crime, leading employees to reportedly carry tasers.

The New York Post reported: “Struggling city-owned Missouri market — similar to Zohran Mamdani’s NYC grocery store proposal — shuts its doors” The article observed that the publicly-funded grocery store in Missouri — similar to Zohran Mamdani’s Big Apple proposal — closed, leaving a note on the entrance stating it can no longer serve residents due to circumstances “beyond our control.”

“Sun Fresh Market in Kansas City — which opened in 2018 as part of a multi-million-dollar revitalization plan — mysteriously shuttered just weeks after viral footage exposed the struggling store’s bare shelves, foul odor and frustrated customers.

“The alarming footage, taken by local outlet KSHB 41, sparked renewed skepticism of Mamdani’s signature plan to bring city-owned markets to New York City if he’s elected mayor.

The article closed with this wry observation: “DEI customers with DEI management supervised by DEI politicians, what could go wrong? It will definitely be non-profit. Food will probably cost twice as much but sold for half as much and subsidized by taxpayers.”

Some wise observer commented, referring to the Mamdani plan, that an example of communism needs to be attempted occasionally just to demonstrate how bad it is for citizens, plus unworkable.

Maybe Mamdani needs to review his communistic plans before he attempts to put them to work.

Maybe he would be surprised that the number of successful communist systems is Zero, not to mention the empty shelves and other problems mentioned in the Post article. Apparently some such stores are operating across the country.

Some small towns – far from trade centers – have put in stores, in order to keep their business districts functioning and as a convenience for their residents.

I haven’t seen any reports on how much their taxes gave increased.

Modern Retail, supplier for such stores, I presume, en- courages such operations.

The site also quotes current NYC Mayor Eric Adams saying such an operation would devastate local bodegas and supermarkets.

One grocery chain operator said he would sell, close, franchise or move his operations if Mamdani is elected.

As Mamdani’s push for city-run grocery stores gets debated in the run-up to the election, some see it as a complement to the existing market.

Mamdani’s plans for the stores has not been explained.

Mohamed Amer, an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University is quoted in an article saying he believes the NYC stores would end up being more along a public infrastructure, private operation … verses city-run.

It should be interesting to watch.
