City council members in New Jersey indicted on 2020 election fraud charges

Two city councilmen have indicted by a grand jury for alleged election fraud in Paterson, New Jersey. That’s according to Daily Caller.

Paterson City Councilmen Alex Mendez, Michael Jackson and two others– all Democrats– are reportedly charged after hundreds of mail in ballots were stuffed into two city mail drop boxes.

Allegations of voter fraud surfaced shortly after Mendez was declared the winner of one of the elections.

Thousands of mail in ballots were reportedly disqualified in the race and a New Jersey judge ordered new election.

11 of the Most Memorable Acts of Civil Disobedience in History

Government officials hate civil disobedience because it’s a disgruntled citizen’s way of thumbing his nose. If we’re unhappy with laws or policies that are stupid, destructive, corrupt, counterproductive, unconstitutional, or in other ways indefensible, they advise us to do the “democratic” thing—which means hope for the best in a future election, stand in line to be condescended to at some boring public hearing, or just shut up.

My go-to expert on the issue is not a politician or a preacher or an academic.

I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward.”

To defeat woke tyrants, the rest of us must treat them like the monsters they are

Most Americans hate woke politics — and most minorities don’t share “woke” priorities. Indeed, according to pollster David Shor, woke excesses are causing black voters to flee the Democratic Party. Despite endless charges of “racism,” former President Donald Trump took the biggest share of minority voters of any Republican in my lifetime.  

Woke tyrants ride high, even so; according to a Cato/YouGov poll, 62 percent of Americans self-censor their political expression. Only a tiny minority of consumers care about Mr. Potato Head’s toxic masculinity, about “Aunt Jemima” as a brand or about the #MeToo aggressions of Pepé Le Pew. Yet corporations, universities and governments rush to placate that minuscule slice of the population, trashing large chunks of our culture in the process. 

It’s happening not because anybody voted for it, but because a small but determined and vicious minority is bullying people to go along, relying on cowardice and groupthink to achieve ends that could never happen via majority vote: How do you think Dr. Seuss would have done in a referendum?
