Listen to this 90 second speech from a former Hamas member to the UN

Reality doesn’t care what the left’s talking points are.

Back in the days before Obama and in those halcyon years of the 20th century when someone stated something that was considered a “conspiracy theory” those who wished to debunk it simply broke out actual evidence that could clearly demonstrate that someone was talking nonsense.

It was the standard way of silencing people who were talking nonsense, you’d show the math, you’d display your work and thus easily show that the various worries and fears of impossible things were, in fact baseless and thus belonged in the category of “conspiracy theory”.

But over the last 10 years this has changed. Our friends on the left when confronted by questions they did not want to deal with have basically shouted “conspiracy theory” without bothering with the pesky business of disproving various claims, the accusation itself was enough.

Thus the reaction by the left to this story out of Georgia:

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule Monday giving local election officials additional power to investigate ballot counts before certifying the results, a move critics say could inject chaos into the 2024 election and delay the state’s official vote count.

The “Rule for Reconciliation Prior to Certification” will allow for a hand recount of votes to ensure “the total number of ballots cast” does not exceed “the total number of persons who voted,” according to the language of the rule.

County election officials will now be allowed to investigate any possible discrepancies.

The NY Times describes this as a “right wing takeover” and the CNN story is full of, as Citizen Free Press calls it “Democrat Tears” but the bottom line is this.

If the cries of “stolen elections” are simply a “conspiracy theory” then a hand recount should be welcomed by our friends on the left as a simple way to verify what they already claim is the case.

Because you don’t need “massive turnout” to counteract verification if actual votes are there do you?

The Whitesox stand at a 30-95 record as of Monday Morning.

The 1962 Mets went 40-120 for .250 winning percentage.

With 162 games 40 wins would give the White Sox a winning percentage below .250 so they need 11 rather than 10 more wins to surpass the Mets and avoid being the worst team in MLB history since 1900.

Here is the remaining White Sox Schedule:

  • at SF Giants (3)
  • vs Detroit Tigers (4)
  • vs Texas Rangers (3)
  • vs NY Mets (3)
  • at Baltimore Orioles (3)
  • at Boston Redsox (3)
  • vs Cleveland Indians (I refuse to call them anything else) (3)
  • vs Oakland A’s (3)
  • at California Angels (3)
  • at San Diego Padres (3)
  • vs California Angels (3)
  • at Detroit Tigers (3)

In theory they could manage to get to 11 wins without winning or even splitting a single series. All they have to do is win a single game in each of those series and viola 12 wins and they avoid ignominy.

Alas the Redsox, Orioles, Indians, Mets Padres and even the Giants are all in division or wild card races and will have a real incentive to try to sweep the easiest remaining games on their schedules. If only half of those teams manage a sweep that means to avoid replacing the 1962 mets at the bottom of the barrel the White sox would have to

  • split their 4 game set with Detroit
  • win at least one of their remaining series
  • and not be swept by any non-playoff team

Can they do it? I have absolutely no idea but it will be fun to find out, unless you’re a White Sox fan.

It does however give one a reason for following the team.

If things go as bad as I suspect they will I’m the White sox front office I arrange for the surviving members of the 62 Mets to attend any game where the White Sox can clinch the worst record of all time and arrange for a ceremony where a member of the 62 Mets (Ed Kranepool?) gives them the fickle finger of fate award a-la Laugh-In if they manage to do so.

If you’re going to go down you might as well celebrate it.

Shades of the Shakers who didn’t believe in reproducing

As a Catholic I’m of course appalled as liberals babies are just as deserving of life as conservatives children but I’ll say this for them, given they are deeply in bed with the greens who believe humans are a danger to the earth this type of thing is one of the few areas where their actions are consistent with their beliefs.

Update: This also explains their dependance of that Ghastly Tom Hagen math as their Islamic supporters don’t buy into this.
