Walter Williams: 1936-2020, R.I.P.

By
View From Behind The Plow (a Column Of Opinion By Gary Reid, Publisher Emeritus)

We are sad to report the death of Walter E.Williams, longtime columnist on this page.

An article of his passing, written by his longtime friend, Thomas Sowell, also a columnist and economist, appears in the reserved for Williams’ work.

We always felt a kinship to Williams because his work said what we wished we could say many times.

Maybe it was because we were the same age and his columns reflected a shared experience, growing up in America at the same time.

While we will miss reading Williams’ weekly efforts, we have opted to replace his columns with those of Dennis Prager, also a member of the Creators syndicate team.

His effort appears on the right side of this page

Who Believes 2020 Election Was Not Rigged?

Does anyone in America, including Democrats, really believe that the 2020 presidential election was honest?

Fraud began well before the election when the leftbegan a string of nasty and baseless efforts designed to remove the sitting president by impeachment.

The Democrat-controlled House approved a purely political impeachment resolution, which fell dead on arrival at the Senate.

A two-year investigation by deep state insider, Robert Mueller — at a cost of $30-plus million — came up with so little that even Mueller admitted “nothing there.”

The lefties in the nation’s capitol were beside themselves with rage. This guy, Trump, was destroying their playhouse and destroying their avenues to wealth and absolute power.

The national media, which has lost all credibility with at least a majority of American citizens, continued to beat the drum to get rid of Trump, picking up any unsubstantiated rumor (usually from unnamed sources) that denigrated the president and running with it.

It should be obvious to any reasonable person that the mainstream media (MSM) is no longer to be trusted and is controlled by manipulators outside the nation.

A good question might be why would those people want to destroy the most successful nation in the world?

Answer: To control the citizens and plunder the nation’s wealth and turn citizens into slaves.

After the fetid election in November, the self-same MSM jumped in and immediately declared Democrat Joe Biden the winner.

Reminder: the media does not declare winners in elections. The presidential winner can be declared by only one body — the Electoral College. That body doesn’t meet until next Monday, Dec. 14.

Hopefully by that time, documented widespread and often large scale irregularities that occurred in the 2020 election will have been investigated and the issues sorted out.

President Trump continues to pursue judicial remedies of the matter, which may well wind up before the Supreme Court.

One thing is certain more than half the nation is disgusted with what its “leaders” in the Democratic Party attempted to pull off — using computerized voting machines to skew the results in key states in favor of Biden.

The Blaze on Nov. 30 reported on a “deep dive” analysis of the mail-in ballots counted in one key state, Pennsylvania, which show voting margins favoring Democrat Joe Biden that are seemingly impossible.

It is a fact that 2.6 million mail-in ballots have been counted in the Pennsylvania election returns.

It is a fact that nearly 4.2 million votes were cast on Election Day in Pennsylvania.

It is a fact that President Donald Trump overwhelmingly won the Pennsylvania Election Day vote with 2.7 million to 1.4 million for Biden.

Who Believes This?

Given those facts, Americans are supposed to believe that Biden won 76 percent of all mail-in ballots?

“Yes, mail-ins overwhelmingly skewed Democrat, like Election Day votes skewed Republican, but they were not all from Democrats. We know that 64.7 % of those votes were from registered Democrats, 23.7 % from Republicans, and 11.6 % from nonpartisan or other party voters,” Daniel Horowitz wrote for The Blaze.

A Twitter user crunched the numbers and found that, even if Biden had won 95 percent of returned Democrat mail-in votes, 21 percent of returned Republican votes, and 80 percent of returned independent votes, he would still have come up short of the margin needed to overcome Trump’s lead.

“We know those numbers alone are absurd,” Horowitz wrote. “There is no way Biden won 21 % of mail-in ballots from registered Republicans in this state. Exit polls showed Biden getting just 8 % of the GOP vote overall. While the 95 % number for Democrat mail-ins is more believable (exits showed him getting 92 %), the notion that 80 % of mail-ins from independents went to Biden is nearly impossible. Exit polls showed Biden winning 52 % of the vote of independents overall. It would defy logic to think that there was such a qualitative gap between the type of independents who came out on Election Day and those

‘Stop the Steal’ Rallies Held

“Stop the Steal” rallies have been staged nationwide in protest of the obvious election thievery.

The left has had its way too often in recent decades as conservatives attempted to play by the rules and stay above the nastiness.

President Trump was willing to fight leftists on their own turf and they were so used to winning illegally they were caught off-guard, at least temporarily.

Then they decided on a ploy using big city Democratic mayors and Democrat governors in key blue states to authorize “mail-in” voting schemes, subject to vote harvesting, to defeat their most hated enemy.

President Trump continues to fight back in court, pointing out that citizens have the right to know whether their votes were counted and if others voted illegally and-or numerous times.

If America is to survive, the questions surrounding this election must be sorted out now.

Elections like this put the U.S.A. well on the road to banana republic status.
