"Pulling out of ERIC"

ERIC is a collaboration between over thirty states where states pay a third party large fees to compare state voter rolls, intended to help the states clean up their voter rolls.

Instead, states ended up sharing massive amounts of personal information about their residents, information that is being used to cheat our elections.

Starting last year, states have begun pulling out of ERIC, which is a minor victory fueled by grassroots activists.

I say that this is only a minor victory, because instead of ERIC, states are now setting up their own data-sharing schemes, schemes just as vulnerable as ERIC.

People need to wake up. The core problem is that voter rolls are centralized and electronic. We need to be maintaining them at the county level, like we did until twenty years ago.

We need to Vote Amish: all paper, no machines. Local control, voting in person, with photo ID.

Until we return to this (e.g. as Europe has), we are essentially giving our elections away.

Wake up, people.

The other day, Col. Shawn Smith called me the "Johnny Appleseed of election integrity."

It caused me to recall this Disney piece from my youth. Consider how much Disney has lost its way...

I identify more with Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, but I'm pleased to serve in whatever circumstances I find myself.

"Massachusetts"

The state of Massachusetts as a whole leans left, but it is nevertheless chock-full of patriots who love America and are unwilling to just hand it over to those intent on destroying it.

Last night I spoke to about a hundred invitation-only patriot activists at an awake church in Massachusetts. It was invigorating!

They are fired up, and are ready to engage now that they know that there is a viable path forward for taking back their elections.

In fact, patriot "bonfires" are growing all over the country, and I enjoy helping to build the movement by throwing gasoline on them.

In states like Massachusetts and California the citizens are already waking up, increasingly frustrated with the steady loss of liberty they are experiencing. I'm honored to help them.

Sadly, in some states (like Oregon), the citizens are already beaten down by their oppressive government and thoroughly corrupted elections. In such places I am helping locals to rekindle their own bonfires.

And happily, some states (Nebraska, Kansas) have vibrant grassroots movements that are already making big strides toward recovering our God-given liberty. I am proud to call them my friends and compatriots.

This war is not a sprint, and there is no silver bullet. Instead, We The People are steadily waking up and reclaiming the American experiment in self-government.

How exciting, and what an honor it is to be serving God at this critical time in human history. It is not an exaggeration to say that the freedom of the human race is literally hanging in the balance.

Gracious God, please empower me, protect me, and guide my path as I humbly submit to your leading. Amen.

“Church Venues”

I’ve given hundreds of election integrity talks in church venues across the country. This is highly appropriate because election integrity is both a civil rights and constitutional rights issue, and the “Black Robed Regiment” led the fight in our struggle for independence.

In my talks I often say, “In 1776, the action was in the churches and the bars.”

But too many of our pastors today are wimps. When patriots are searching for event venues, they often hear pastors express concerns about 501c3 issues.

What a cop out.

Only one church has ever lost its 501c3 status, and election integrity issues are not prohibited. (https://www.nysscpa.org/news/publications/the-trusted-professional/article/house-approves-bill-allowing-churches-to-engage-to-politics-without-losing-tax-exempt-status-072018)

Imagine churches denying Martin Luther King a venue to discuss civil rights. Or not allowing Janet Porter to discuss the Heartbeat Bill.

If your church refuses to engage in the critical social issues of the day, and refuses to defend its 1st Amendment rights, then it has lost its saltiness and deserves to be trampled underfoot.

I’d find another church.

We the People have the power. But We the People have been lulled to sleep, and forgotten why and how we became America.

It’s now or never.

Kyrie eleison.

"Down Syndrome Awareness Day"

World Down Syndrome Awareness Day was earlier this week, so I thought I would make you aware of some numbers.

First, DS is a naturally occurring birth defect across all races which correlates strongly with the age of the mother. The prevalence among younger women is about one in eight hundred, and for women in their early forties the odds are about one in ten.

In the most common form, an early, incomplete cell division ends up producing a child with an extra 21st Chromosome which interferes with normal development. In fact, about half of DS children are born with an underdeveloped heart, requiring surgery in order for the child to survive.

Some countries (e.g. Iceland) pride themselves in detecting children with DS in the womb and attempt to abort all of them. But before you get to judgmental, America aborts over two-thirds of its Down Syndrome children, despite the fact that there are thousands of families in waiting lists who want to adopt one.

In our case, Nellie is extremely healthy and high-functioning. She has never needed any surgery, although one of her shoulders remains slightly underdeveloped. Despite this limit, she is a world-class hugger. Her heart was physically underdeveloped when she was born, but it repaired itself during the first six months following birth.

DS males are typically infertile, but if Nellie were to someday marry and conceive, her chances of delivering a normal, healthy baby are about eighty four percent. After watching the way she cared for her two normal younger brothers, and her grandma who died of vascular dementia, I can assure you that she would be an amazing mother.

People often ask us if someday we would put Nellie in a home with other handicapped people. In fact, it is just the opposite. There are too many people in line who would love to include her in their family. She is full of joy and unconditional love, and gives her daddy foot rubs, head rubs, and snuggles every day (when I am home). She has an amazing memory, and takes care of her own daily hygiene.

Not all DS children are as well-adapted as Nellie, but it nevertheless boggles my mind that people would deny themselves the opportunity to have someone as wonderful as Nellie in their family.

DS children are an amazing gift from God, daily reminding us what innocence and unconditional love looks like.

Down Syndrome child have an extra 21st chromosome which interferes with normal child development.

Mike Lindell and I have both endorsed Ashley Duff for Washington County, PA commissioner.

I'm headed there today for a VIP fund-raiser.

“Empathy”

Sometimes, I am so focused on what I am doing that I forget to consider the feelings of others. But I am working on it.

I poignantly learned this lesson about twenty-five years ago at a school faculty Christmas party. I had brought one-year old Nellie with me, all dressed up cute with bows in her hair.

At one point I needed to use the restroom, and so I handed Nellie to a fellow female faculty member. Who wouldn’t want to hold a cute, giggly, cooing little girl?

When I returned, the woman was white as a ghost, holding Nellie slightly apart from her. At first, I wondered if Nellie needed a diaper change.

As it turns out, unknown to me, the year prior my colleague had aborted her child that had been diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Ouch.

It’s almost as bad as congratulating a woman for being pregnant when she’s not. Most boys learn that humiliating lesson early. And yep, I’ve learned that one too.

My mother (may she rest in peace) often coached me in this regard. But it is one of those lessons I’ve had to learn the hard way.

I think people forgive me for my shortcomings and mistakes when they know my heart, but I’m still responsible to be considerate of others.

Empathy is a powerful thing, and nurturing it in ourselves makes us more like Jesus Christ:

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2)

"The Polar Bears are Just Fine"

As a real scientist, it is embarrassing to see "science" abused.

I've been saying for decades that climate change agendas are built upon false assumptions, despite the ridiculous and unscientific claims constantly being foisted upon an uninformed public.

The polar bears are doing just fine.

"Wyoming"

Having a productive tour through about a dozen counties in Wyoming!

Until last night, officials from each county have been attending the daily public and private meetings. I am excited about the grassroots prospects here.

In Uinta County, the close-minded clerk was angry that I was in town, and discouraged the county Commissioners from attending. The sheriff and his deputy attended, and seemed like straight up fellows.

I think the citizens of Uinta ought to replace their clerk.
