[The pro/con outrages in the news about President Trump are filling up sandboxes even faster than usual. And the spate of eagerly published fake news stories that get retracted regularly now are keeping several pots boiling in the intervals. gjr]

Goodness Bill never heard of Stephen or Steve Bannon? He was only Trumps Campaign manager. You surprise me on this one.
Google Steve Bannon and you get this.
Stephen Kevin “Steve” Bannon is the Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to President Donald Trump, and before assuming those positions, was President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign manager, and was a businessman and media executive.

Well if there are indeed millions of fraudulent voters then the final results may not be accurate. How best to correct this than to have a new election. Seems logical to me.
Knock yourself out! You get them to schedule a new election and the drinks are on me.
It’s been noted that Steve Bannon has multiple registrations in his name and he is indeed a Trump supporter so how do we know he didn’t vote twice for Trump?
Do we know if he voted at all?

Trump, according to his yet-to-be-signed executive order, will cut that program by more half to 50,000. The order said while the program is suspended, the U.S. may admit people on a case-by-case basis “when in the national interest” and the government would continue to process refugee requests from people claiming religious persecution, “provided that the religion….is a minority religion in the individual’s country.” That suggests that would allow the admission of Christians from Muslim-majority countries.
Smart move: take your case to the people: Put it our there.

Trump is really making a fool of himself on this one even with the Republicans
House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said Wednesday he doesn’t “see any evidence” of voter fraud, and his committee won’t investigate it.
Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump said he wanted to launch an investigation, after claiming — without evidence — between 3 to 5 million fraudulent votes had been cast in the 2016 election, costing him the popular vote.
From Speaker of the House Paul Ryan:
“I’ve seen no evidence to that effect. I’ve made that very, very clear,”

You know, every comic from Chris Rock to the lot of them say they no longer can do campus gigs. No laughs, not one, and a very tough crowd. Liberals have no sense of humor and it’s getting worse from there. Very serious glum lot and everything offends them.
So, the way I see it, alongs comes Milo as a right wing comic doing his spiel on our triggered college campuses. They need some laughs.
Milo told the female Social Justice Warriors the reason they push for and demand birth control as a right because it gives them an excuse to be sluts, lol. Funny guy.
Two months after his appearance, they are still seeking therapy in the aftermath of his appearance. The temporary safe place room set up for Milo’s appearance is still open and used daily…..two months after Milo’s appearance. Let that sink in. Two months later and still getting therapy. They are more fragile and unprepared for life than anything have seen, conceived, or entered the mind of man.

Public Watchdog Groups are not buying their is no evidence of voter fraud.
One legal organization took action on preventing voter fraud this week. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a voter integrity group, reached a consent decree with Noxubee County, Mississippi, which has had voter registration that exceeds the number of county residents since 2011, according to the group. A consent decree is a legal agreement between two parties without an acknowledgment of guilt.
[ooo]
An investigation into voter fraud would not be complicated, said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group.
“You can see the numbers we are talking about by looking at public voter registration lists and cross-checking that against a list of noncitizens,” Fitton told The Daily Signal. “The federal government could coordinate with state and local governments and determine who registered to vote illegally. It’s a simple process. That’s why the left is so upset. They know the jig is up.”
Enforcing the law is long overdue, said Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative at The Heritage Foundation.
“We don’t need [to create] a commission. The Justice Department can enforce the law and work with the Department of Homeland Security, and its records for citizenship and change of status to get an idea of who is illegally registered to vote,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal.
Regardless of the investigation’s outcome, von Spakovsky expects critics will dismiss anything that falls short of Trump’s 3 to 5 million illegal voter estimate.
“They may try to dismiss this, but the American people don’t believe what the media say about voter fraud not being real,” von Spakovsky said. “Polling solidifies that.”
