Senator Graham Says Judiciary Committee Will Probe ‘All Credible Allegations Of Voting Irregularities’

Michael Ruiz at FoxNews.com offers a piece on Senator Graham announcing that his Senate committee would investigate voter fraud.

Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Saturday that the Senate Judiciary Committee would investigate possible voting irregularities after receiving an affidavit from a Pennsylvania postal worker alleging a plot to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day. 

“It is imperative that all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct be investigated to ensure the integrity of the 2020 elections,” Graham, a South Carolina Republican and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. “I will not allow credible allegations of voting irregularities or misconduct to be swept under the rug.” 

The senator said he will call on the Justice Department to investigate the postal worker’s claims and ask the postmaster general to look into them as well. 

Richard Hopkins, a mail carrier from Erie, Pa., accused his boss of fraud in the affidavit. 

“Although, as I understand Pennsylvania law, ballots must be postmarked by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2020 in Pennsylvania, Postmaster Rob Weisenbach directed my co-workers and I to pick up ballots after Election Day and provide them to him,” he said. 

In addition, he alleged that he overheard Weisenbach tell another supervisor he was backdating the late ballots to make them appear as though they had been collected on Nov. 3 – “despite them in fact being collected on Nov. 4 and possible later.” 

Weisenbach did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment.

Babylon Bee: Biden Sniffs Victory

The Babylon Bee takes a satirical shot at Joe Biden’s “Creepy Joe” history of being far too handsy and his sniffing women and girls' hair in public.

WILMINGTON, DE—As more and more news outlets are projecting the winner of the presidential election, Joe Biden is now sniffing victory.

"I can smell it!" he said as aides gathered around for a victory speech, though he was staring longingly at one woman with long hair. "It smells like strawberries -- is that Herbal Essences Strawberry Peach Fusion Blast? Just one smell... Come on, man!" Biden leaped off the platform and lunged.

Watching John Ford's Film About Ole Small-Town Politics, 'The Sun Shines Bright,' As One Waits For The Conclusion Of the 2020 Presidential Election,

 As we wait for the conclusion of the 2020 presidential race, one might be interested in watching a great old film about politics in ole Kentucky. 

The late, great film director John Ford (who appears in the below photo), one of my favorites film makers, directed The Sun Shines Bright in 1953. The film is about honor, decency, charity, humor and small-town politics in the beginning of the 20th Century. 

The film is based on three Judge Priest short stories by humorist and newspaper columnist Irwin S. Cobb (who appears in the bottom photo), who died in 1944. John Ford directed an earlier film, Judge Priest, starring Will Rodgers, in 1934, which was also based on Cobb’s character. 

John ford, who directed some of my favorite films, such as The Searchers, Fort Apache, The Horse Soldiers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and They Were Expendable, claimed The Sun Shines Bright was his favorite film. 

John Ford died in 1973.

Ralph Cipriano: Smokin' Joe Frazier Among 22 Dead People Who Still Vote In Philly

Ralph Cipriano at Bigtrial.net offers a piece on the crooked Philadelphia Democratic political machine cooking the books by having dead people vote for Joe Biden.      

Smokin' Joe Frazier, the city's most famous boxer, may have died on Nov. 7, 2011. But he still lives on at the polls. 

In 2018, according to city records, the former heavyweight champ voted in the general election in his adopted hometown. 

On city records that provide a "detailed inquiry" on voters, they got Smokin' Joe's birthdate right, Jan. 12, 1944. In a touch of nostalgia, the records also list Frazier's address as 2917 N. Broad Street. That's the location of the old Smokin' Joe's Gym, the three-story converted brick warehouse where, in the 1970s, Frazier trained for all of three of his championship fights against Muhammed Ali, while living in an apartment on the third floor.  

Frazier leads a parade of 22 dead people, who according to city records gathered by Big Trial, miraculously came back to life to vote in past Philadelphia elections. Others on the list that's been uncovered so far include seven hero cops who died in the line of duty, a murdered community activist, and 11 dead relatives of cops.

Babylon Bee: Miracle: Ballot Counter Turns 5 Biden Votes Into 5,000

 The Babylon Bee takes a satirical shot at the presidential election.

DETROIT, MI—In an event Democrats can only describe as miraculous, a ballot counter has turned an offering of only 5 humble ballots into 5,000 votes for Biden. Poll workers and Biden voters are celebrating the miracle which could put Biden over the top in their state.

According to witnesses, a little boy brought 5 absentee ballots into the counting center in the early morning hours after Election Day. Within a few hours, those 5 votes had turned into 5,000. Sources say that Democrat disciples even filled 12 baskets with the leftover ballots. 

"It's a miracle," said one election supervisor. "This is irrefutable evidence that God wants Biden to win!"
