My daughter captured some video of me practicing a portion of the solo in La Villa Strangiato by #rush on my recently-acquired 1972 Gibson ES-335 into my 1974 Marshall 50-watt JMP amp. Enjoy!
Let’s review. California:
- Made it illegal to show voter IDs
- Mass mail-in ballots across the state
- Allows people to print ballots at home
- Allows people to register anywhere in the state
- Allows ballot harvesting
- Allows people to register with “IDs” like gym memberships & insurance cards
- Allows people to hand-date ballot envelopes, no postmark required
- Has 853,000 + “ghost voters”
- Sanctuary state that harbors illegal aliens
- Refuses to turn over dirty voter rolls for verification
- Refuses to allow independent signature verification audit
- Refuses to allow ballot inspection audit
This isn’t exactly “subtle.” It’s a blueprint for stealing elections.
There are still MILLIONS of Dems that believe Kyle Rittenhouse killed black people in Kenosha and that Trump supporters killed police officers on January 6th.
These people vote in our elections.
People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.
What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.
If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.”
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”
California
Before 2016 law changes: Elections resolved on election night or within days. Republicans won seats, held seats, results were stable.
2016: Democrats pass ballot harvesting and universal mail ballot laws. Signed by Democratic governor.
2018 onward: Every close race follows the same script. Republican leads on election night. Slow count begins. Lead shrinks daily. Republican loses weeks later.
Seven House seats in 2018 alone. All the same pattern. All in one direction. Never reversed.
Since 2018, there hasn’t been one single race where the slow counting of votes didn’t take away a Republican victory by the end.
To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.
In 1992 Al Gore predicted that within two decades, Florida would lose 60% of its population due to climate change.
Today, 34 years later, Florida's population is 425% higher than it was in 1992.
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.
