Here is another left-wing reprobate getting what she so very well deserves. Quote: "Stacey Abrams Loses Election Lawsuit. Georgia’s gubernatorial campaign has remained surprisingly stable since the beginning of the general election season. Democrat Stacey Abrams was supposed to represent a tough opponent for Gov. Brian Kemp, who is running for a second term. That hasn’t materialized, with Abrams never leading in any poll and Kemp currently 6.6 percent ahead in the RealClearPolitics average. Abrams thought she had one trick left up her sleeve, though. Namely, a lawsuit filed by her “voting rights” organization seeking to strike down parts of Georgia’s election system under the guise of “voter suppression.” Changing election laws at the eleventh hour has become a favorite tactic of the left, especially after they did so in 2020 with such success. No doubt, Abrams was hoping to open the floodgates of no accountability just prior to November. Unfortunately for her, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama ruled that nothing about Georgia’s election system violates the US Constitution or the Voting Rights Act.
A federal judge delivered a decisive ruling Friday against allies of Democrat Stacey Abrams in their 4-year-old voting rights lawsuit, upholding Georgia election laws on all counts in the case Fair Fight Action filed days after the 2018 election. U.S. District Judge Steve Jones’ judgment concludes the ambitious case against Georgia’s voter registration and absentee ballot practices after a trial in which voters testified about problems at the polls but few of them were unable to cast a ballot. “Although Georgia’s election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the Constitution nor the VRA (Voting Rights Act),” Jones wrote in a 288-page order."
The decision followed what is believed to be the longest voting rights trial in the history of the Northern District of Georgia, lasting 21 days with testimony from over 50 witnesses, wrote Jones, a nominee of President Barack Obama. Jones ruled against Fair Fight on claims over Georgia’s “exact match” voter registration policy, absentee ballot cancellation practices and registration inaccuracies. This was a no-brainer. Georgia’s election system is actually more open than places like New York and Delaware. There was never any argument that it was somehow nefariously suppressing the votes of Black Americans. Basic guidelines on voter registration and signature matching are not discriminatory, and to suggest such is itself discriminatory. In his decision, the judge summed things up perfectly by noting that Abrams and her organization were not able to provide a single piece of direct evidence showing a single voter was prevented from voting due to Georgia’s system. “The court finds that the burden on voters is relatively low,” Jones wrote about the “exact match” rules. “Here, plaintiffs have not provided direct evidence of a voter who was unable to vote, experienced longer wait times, was confused about voter registration status.” Laughably, Abrams took to social media after the ruling to claim victory. No, I’m not kidding. Just like in 2018, she is going to try to pretend she won when she objectively lost.
Apparently, she thinks it’s a victory to decisively lose a lawsuit just because her hand-chosen “witnesses” got to tell their stories, even though those stories did not turn out to provide any evidence of what was being claimed. It’s hilarious and pathetic at the same time. Abrams is a woman who has consistently failed up in her life, and apparently, gaslighting has become second nature for her.
She’s not fooling anyone, though. She lost here. She lost big time. Those “changes to voting laws” she is citing came in the form of a Republican election security bill. Oh yeah, and she lost trying to challenge that as well. In short, Abrams is a loser, and she’s going to be a loser again in November against Kemp." Stacey Abrams Loses Election Lawsuit - Truth Press
Abrams is a typical left-wing reprobate who should never ever serve in public office at any level. She is as corrupt as can be, just like most progressive Democrat socialists who think god gifted them to save human kind. Far, far from the truth...
Finally, the GOP is stepping up against all the criminality ongoing within Biden's crime infested administration. Much more needs to be done but at least this is a start.
Quote: "Attorney General Merrick Garland has received a flurry of stern letters, including notice of an investigation, from Republican members of Congress in the days since the FBI’s Sept. 23 raid on the Pennsylvania home of pro-life activist Mark Houck. “Not only did your office turn a local dispute into a national case, but the FBI reportedly executed the search warrant in as extreme a manner as one can imagine,” a Sept. 26 letter, sent individually by Sen. Josh Hawley said. “The FBI admitted in a statement that as many as 20 agents were present with their guns drawn.
”Houck was handcuffed in front of his wife and seven children during the 7 a.m. arrest and search of his home. A Sept. 27 letter from 22 Republican House and Senate members asked why the FBI was deployed for state-level assault charges were dismissed by local authorities in Philadelphia.
“At the moment, it appears to be an extraordinary overreach for political ends,” the joint letter said. “We request an explanation for the excessive level of force used by the FBI in this case, and why the power of federal law enforcement was once again used against an American citizen in what should be a state and local matter.”
Next, a Sept. 28, a letter to Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray from 12 Republican senators, offers more insight into the incident and askes Garland to provide answers to five specific questions by Oct. 12, so Congress can perform an independent review of the matter. This letter was led by Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and signed by Sens. Toomey (R-Pa.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.).
More Details About Raid
The FBI arrest warrant is based on an event that happened on Oct. 13, 2021. According to the letter, the incident involved an abortion clinic worker who allegedly shouted obscenities at Houck’s then-11-year-old son and invaded his personal space, refusing to leave him alone. Houck allegedly pushed the individual away from his son. Houck’s attorney for that incident, John Williamson, told the committee the Philadelphia Police declined to arrest or prosecute Houck. Despite that, the clinic worker filed a criminal complaint against Houck which was dismissed after the clinic worker failed to appear in court at least twice. During that case, the district attorney suggested settling the matter as a civil case instead of a criminal one, but the abortion clinic worker disagreed, the Senate letter said.
After the complaint against Houck was dismissed on April 22, 2022, he received an April 27, 2022 letter from the Justice Department, advising that he was under investigation for potential violations of the FACE Act. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act prohibits threatening or obstructing people entering or exiting an abortion clinic. Houck was likely familiar with the act as he regularly volunteered as a sidewalk counselor. After receiving a letter from the DOJ, Houck hired attorney Matt Heffron, a former federal prosecutor. Heffron told the committee that he left two voicemails and sent an email to Assistant U.S. Attorney Anita Eve but did not hear back.
In the communications, Heffron told the DOJ that if it intended to indict Houck, he would receive the summons on Houck’s behalf and that he would appear voluntarily. “Given their cooperation with federal law enforcement, the family did not expect to be awakened at 7 a.m. with reportedly over 20 FBI agents surrounding their home wearing armor plated tactical vests, ballistic helmets and holding ballistic shields and long guns,” the Senate letter said. Once he was handcuffed, the letter says Houck asked his wife for his Catholic rosary and a sweatshirt. Then he was taken to jail.
The committee notes that on May 20, 2022, Garland sent a memo to Justice Department employees about its use of force policy. The memo, titled “De-escalation,” said officers must be trained in de-escalation tactics designed to gain voluntary compliance from a subject before using force, and such tactics should be used if feasible and if they would not increase the danger to the officer or others.
The actions taken by the FBI call into question whether they complied with DOJ’s use of force policy, the committee letter said. “The FBI must explain their justification for their actions on September 23, 2022,” the letter said.
Five Questions
The letter signers ask the following questions about why Houck was not allowed to self-report for his arrest and arraignment after his attorney said he was willing to do so, and whether political considerations were made to approve and execute the warrant.
1. Why did the Justice Department wait 11 months after the October 2021 incident to indict Houck?
2. Please provide a list of Justice Department and FBI officials who approved the decision to open a grand jury investigation into Houck after the state criminal complaint had already been dismissed.
3. Please provide a list of Justice Department and FBI officials who approved the execution of the arrest warrant for Houck.
4. How many law enforcement personnel did the FBI use in executing the arrest warrant?
5. In light of Mr. Houck’s alleged cooperation with federal authorities, what factors led to the Justice Department and FBI executing an arrest warrant against him instead of using less aggressive tactics, including a summons to appear? Please explain how the execution of the search warrant complied with Attorney General Garland’s use of force memorandum."

Here is a footnote regarding the current DOJ, Merrick Garland. In the last year of his presidency Barack Obama nominated Garland to sit on the Supreme Court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. The Senate was then under the control of the Republican Party. The Senate Leader was Mitch McConnell. He refused under intense pressure from the Democrats to bring Garland's nomination to the Senate for consideration. McConnell stood his ground. In so doing he did our country a big favor because it is now obvious that Merrick Garland would have been a left-wing disaster if he had received a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court. Biden's nominee is bad enough since she cannot even define what the word "woman" means. While I personally do not have high regard for McConnell he did our country a big favor with his denial of a Supreme Court hearing for an obvious left-wing Marxist oriented Democrat political reprobate. This is a link confirming that fact. Thank You Mitch McConnell For Keeping Merrick Garland Off The Supreme Court (legalinsurrection.com)
That information is just one more reason for everyone to understand that Barack Obama was also a really bad and grossly un-American president. By the way Obama met with the infamous international criminal George Soros a socialist billionaire donor for all manner of un-American Democrat party political policies and programs. See the first paragraph above. Soros visited with Obama at least five times while in office. Don't believe me? Check this out. George Soros has visited the White House 5 times - Capital Research Center
Democrats cannot be trusted to ever do anything good for our country. Their obvious anti-American corruption is palpable. That is a provable fact...We all need to consider very carefully who will receive our votes in November...
