In 2018 Leslie Stall interviewed Trump and pressed him to admit that the Russians were trying to determine American elections. Trump’s answer didn’t satisfy her. He said, “So are the Chinese.”
In the 2020 election, which was won by the mail-in votes, according to a recent revelation from the FBI, China did in fact create millions of illegal American driver’s licenses for the express purpose of obtaining millions of mail-in voter forms prior to the 2020 election. Strangely, the number of mail-in votes for 2020 was 25 million more than in the 2016 election. Trump won the in person votes in 2020, Biden won the mail-in votes.
That isn’t the only strange number for the 2020 election. Since the year 2000 about 160 million people have voted in every presidential election, except for 2020. In that election there were more than 180 million votes cast. The percentage of eligible adults who voted in every election has been about 60%, except 2020 where 66% voted. Did they? The range of eligible voters who voted in every election has been between 58% and 61%, EXCEPT for the 2020 election (2024 was back in the normal range).
Collusion? I won’t claim such. What I do claim is that it is evident that 2020 may not have been a fair election (not based upon the election results, but in that there may have been a million or more non-Citizens voting). “Get out the vote” programs claim to add less than 1/2% to the total vote numbers. Where did the extra 5 1/2% of voters come from? Did those extra voters really swing the election? We will never know the answer to the second question.

FEMA
FEMA Removed Camp Mystic Cabins from the 100 year flood map in 2013 under Barack Obama.
You have to read deep into the stories to find this fact. You will read that FEMA removed them from the “flood map.” What you won’t easily find is WHEN and especially under WHOM. It is not uncommon for homeowners or businesses to request this change. It can save a ton of money, make remodeling less expensive, or allow a homeowner to get less expensive flood insurance. What is uncommon is FEMA granting the requests. Craig Fugate was in charge at that time. He’s known for his “Waffle House Index”, whereby he determines the level of attention a disaster area requires based on whether the Waffle House is open at the time emergency services arrive.

How a Single Court Case Could Determine the Future of Book Banning in America
‘Little v. Llano County”‘” and the Increasingly Imperiled Freedom to Read in America
By Anthony Aycock ~ June 17, 2025
What is fake about that? This: There hasn’t been an actual book “banned” by the government in America since 1963. It was Fanny Hill by John Cleland, first published in 1748.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin was banned by the Confederate States in 1865.
So, there has not been a book banned in the United States since 1963. A majority of people alive today in the United States have never experienced (and probably won’t) an actual book ban.
Presently, in America, there are ZERO banned books.
Book banning was banned … LONG AGO.
Note: If you want to know what a ban really is, check this out: Rhode Island lawmakers pass bill to ban sales of assault weapons
You don’t want your 11 year old to check out Playboy Magazine at his school library? Ehhh! Not the same as “banning.” That’s sensible and thoughtful! If you have Playboy Magazines at your own home and you allow your young son or daughter to read them, police will not show up and confiscate them. If it were a real ban then they would.
Not having such available for general audience at your public library is also NOT a ban. A ban makes it illegal to publish, sell, own, or distribute. Some things should not be in a public library, but you can buy them for your own home any time you wish.
What are these people claiming about banning books? They insist that it is perfectly fine to yell “fire” in a movie theater BECAUSE they have the right of free speech. But it is NOT perfectly fine. There are places where you should not do certain things or say certain things or have certain books. That just makes sense.
Can you yell “fire” (when there isn’t one) other places? Sure. Knock yourself out yelling that in the cow pasture, or in your own basement (as long as you aren’t having a party there). Just don’t do it where there’s a crowd. Same exact thing. There are places where it would be obvious to an intelligent person that certain books do not belong. Don’t yell “banned books,” when a publication is NOT allowed in a middle-school library, because that is NOT what the term means. You, of course, have the free speech right to be WRONG. But why?
And that is the very thing about this issue: Why would anyone lie about this? Yes, they have their reasons, don’t they! As long as you understand WHY they are lying you know exactly why you shouldn’t pay any attention to them.
