Monday Book Pick: Spellbound
Filed under: Baen Books, Monday Book Pick, Science Fiction
Larry Coreia makes the book pick again. This time with the second book in his hard-boiled noir series complete with more than a bit of magic thrown in. It’s the 1930’s and magic has been around for about a hundred years. It started with just a few people, but it’s been growing pretty steady, so by the time this story takes place it’s pretty mainstream. Things pick up where the last book left off.
The good guys have managed to defeat what they thought was their greatest enemy, but they were mistaken. Not about killing the bad guy, just about him being their greatest enemy. The hard part is convincing even their allies about the oncoming evil. Before they can face that evil, they have to deal with a plot to register and round up all the magically active people in America. Hitler was put in front of a firing squad early in this reality, but there are still “good progressives” that want to put people in camps and eliminate the trouble makers. Lots of action. new bad guys, plot twists, and did I mention lots of action. Oh, and remember, don’t get on Faye’s bad side.
The democrat Culture of Corruption Marches On
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Politics, Progressives
Let’s start with that staunch supporter of all things democrat, the so called “public service union”, SEIU. One of their organizers has been arrested for possession of crack cocaine and other narcotics.
With Massachusetts Senator and known liar (Fauxcahontas) and self appointed savior of the “little people” from her multi million dollar mansion, Money talks and populist bullcrap walks.
Let’s be honest, Warren was uniquely unqualified for her current position and was elected on a flood of DNC & far left extremist PAC negative ads and an illegal state paid for mass mailing (of course MA AG Coakley found nothing illegal. “Nothing! I See Nothing” as a old fascist NCO used to say on TV). It should not be a surprise that she will see out the ‘useful idiots’ who voted for her.
The democrat Culture of Corruption Marches On
Ask any Obama Kool-Aide ™ drinking leftist and they will tell you that there is absolutely no voter fraud.
They will, of course, be lying. Here is yet another example. A Connecticut state representative, a democrat, has been charged with nineteen (19) counts of vote fraud. Christina “Tita” Ayala, a democrat representing Bridgeport, was arrested last Friday. The charges include “voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live” and providing “fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district”.
Most democrats will parrot the party lie about voter id laws “disenfranchising” poor people. The truth is that democrats are against voter id laws because they make vote fraud so much harder, and they depend on vote fraud to elect their extremist candidates.
Update: Five Voter Fraud Myths and Truths
Take note of #2 & #4
2. Fact: Voter fraud has altered the outcome of elections. Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes), the Saturday Night Live clown, is in the United States Senate because of voter fraud. Franken won his election because Minnesota has same-day voter registration, where a person can register to vote and cast a ballot simultaneously. Felons were ineligible to vote but did so anyhow — by the thousands (1099 of them to be exact). This means that Franken owes his Senate seats to graduates of Faribault and Lino Lakes. Remember, Franken won by only 312 votes. News media in Minnesota contacted many of the felons and they admitted they were proud of their votes for Franken. Not a one voted for Norm Coleman. But it’s worse. Al Franken was the 60th vote to pass Obamacare over a filibuster. Because of voter fraud, Obamacare passed.
4. Fact: Eric Holder’s Justice Department is facilitating voter fraud. It isn’t hard to find the ways Eric Holder’s radical version of law enforcement is facilitating voter fraud. That’s the central story of Crimes Against the Republic. For starters, multiple individuals have been caught voting more than once in a federal election. This is a federal felony. The response from the Justice Department? Crickets. Take Wendy Rosen (pictured above). She was a Democrat running for Congress. We have reached the Alice in Wonderland moment where a Democrat can pen an editorial admitting she violated federal election law and no federal charges ensue.
Her excuse for committing a federal felony? Because election integrity laws make it hard for the poor and blacks to vote. She actually says this. Maybe Eric Holder isn’t prosecuting Wendy Rosen because 1) Rosen is a Democrat and 2) she is mimicking Holder’s own talking points. Such are the lawless ways of the Obama age — felons get a pass as long as they are allies of the president, sort of like the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia. This is the stuff that makes Americans furious, and the Democrats best beware of the whirlwind they may reap. Many more examples of Holder facilitating voter fraud are in Crimes Against the Republic.
