Democrat Starlink paranoia

 Rick Moran:

...

Some on the left ridiculed the notion that Italian satellites would be able to hack American voting machines. I wonder what they're saying today about the fantastical election-denying theory that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service was used to "tabulate" votes in swing states. "Swing states were able to use Starlink in order to tally up and to count ballot votes, or voting ballots, in their state," claimed TikTok user Etheria77 in a video.

Starlink terminals are unable to "tabulate" anything, but the video has gotten almost 5 million views and remarkably, even mainstream news outlets have felt the need to debunk the theory.

Starlink terminals "were used by election officials in some states to improve internet connectivity at rural polling locations," writes Alex Demas at The Bulwark. "Starlink is not a tabulation system and was not used to count or transmit votes in the swing states."

Of course, it wasn't. But the Starlink theory is only one of several conspiracy theories that are being promoted by the left.

Left-wing pundits claim that the Starlink theory is being promoted by "fringe" leftists. That's OK; mainstream Democrats have been promoting conspiracy theories about Russia and Trump for a decade and have yet to disavow their idiotic conclusions.

What makes the Starlink conspiracy theory so ludicrous is that most voting machines are not connected to the internet....
...

Democrats would be wise to accept the fact that they lost because of the weakness of the Biden regime and the weakness of Kamala Harris as a nominee. The people who pushed the Russian collusion hoax have no business blaming Elon Musk or Starlink for their richly deserved loss in 2024.

Trump attending Starship launch really highlights how poorly the Biden admin managed their relationship with Elon. You have the world's most talented engineer, business man, and entrepreneur in America and you actively demonized him in public. Shockingly idiotic in hindsight.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
