    The election

    Without an investigation how do you know his allegations are baseless? Are you privy to information the rest of the public isn't? There is more than enough evidence to suggest highly irregular activities took place during the election to warrant an investigation. Was it enough to alter the results of the election? We don't know. If after an investigation it turns out that Biden received enough LEGAL votes to be elected then we can all have confidence that the will of the people was heard. But without an investigation how will we know whether that is what happened? That should matter to everyone but apparently not.

    The election

    Its a very human flaw... What they want to be true becomes FACT even if they are no facts to back it up. But they are very quick call other liers (aka Trump) when other proclaim as FACT things they do not want. Just look at the press coverage of when Trump made the claim. They cut him off within seconds of the claim. He was declared as speaking unproven falsehoods... but they never even attempted to give him a enough time to offer any proof

    The election

    In theory the Supreme Court is conservative again. If they truly are that means they will Rule according to Law and the Evidence provided. Which is the way the courts should be. The vote for President is a State vote not a individual one (aka the whole electoral collage thingy we have) and each state makes its own laws on how that vote is decided. Thus team Trump will have to show that the 'Powers that Be' in the States they are challenging... violated their own laws. That is much harder then just showing some irregularities. That is the only basis the Court can and should have to change things. People not liking how or what the State's Laws allow is not a matter of the Courts, its a matter for the local voters and legislators

    The election

    I agree . . . partly. It’s one thing to say “we are concerned about irregularities in multiple states and we will petition the courts for redress”. It’s another to say something along the lines of “I *know* I won, and if the numbers don’t show that then it’s prima facie evidence that someone cooked the books.” Trump has not exactly been covering himself in glory here.

    Why I hate You Tube

    I’m from the western United States and I learned to pronounce aunt as ant. I’m okay when easterners pronounce aunt as auhnt, but it bugs the heck out of me when westerners switch their pronunciation to auhnt. It sounds affected.

  6. Anytime a Zion society is established the law of consecration will be a part of it. This was true for the City of Enoch and it was true for a period of time with the Nephites after Christ appeared to them though in the Book of Mormon it is spoken of as having their things in "common." This existed for quite a while and then we read in 4 Nephi 24 And now, in this two hundred and first year there began to be among them those who were lifted up in pride, such as the wearing of costly apparel, and all manner of fine pearls, and of the fine things of the world. 25 And from that time forth they did have their goods and their substance no more common among them. After this point I imagine they probably did live the law of tithing or something like it though the scriptures are silent on the matter.

  7. The NYT is an emaciated shadow of its former self, a hideous undead creature whose very existence mocks what it once was. It should be summarily ignored in all instances.
