Votes in Key Arizona County Are Being ‘Misread.’ Well, here we go. Evidently, this is reportedly happening only in conservative areas, Katie Hobbs, who is running for governor, is in charge of the voting and won’t recuse. You figure it out. This sounds like election fraud to us
Sharpies. The new dangling chad. If you used a Sharpie to mark your ballot in Arizona the counting machine won’t read your ballot. This is being investigated.
Where have all the Biden supporters disappeared to? According to numerous polls, Biden is way ahead, yet few if any supporters show up? We call BS on the polls.

Post Election Thread – Crooked Democrat Vote Counters. What the hell is going on in Florida’s counties of Broward and Palm Beach? They now have more votes than they reported on election night. Let’s add Arizona to this fiasco. Will Trump send in the FEC, FBI and DOJ?
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is pissed off. Really pissed off. And the object of her pissoffedness is President Obama.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is pissed off. Really pissed off. And the object of her pissoffedness is President Obama.
She invited the Commander in Chief to come to Arizona and visit the Mexican border nearly a year ago, but he’s been very busy bankrupting the country and hasn’t been able to work it into his schedule. He did find time, however, to have the federal government sue Arizona for doing what the federal government wouldn’t – protect the border.
Brewer has huevos grandes, something this President is sorely lacking, so she put together this new commercial that challenges Obama to get off his duff, to stop making juvenile jokes about illegal aliens, and to perform his constitutionally mandated duties.
Hey, it’s a mandate, President Obama. You should love it.
The good people of Arizona seem to understand a simple truth: If the federal government won’t do its job, the state will have to do it for them. In this case, the job in question is that of protecting the border against an invasion.

We haven't seen a glare like that since Dirty Harry said, "Feelin' lucky today, punk?"
CBS News has wall-to-wall coverage of the new wall:
A bill signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer authorizes erection of a security fence along Arizona’s portion of the U.S.-Mexico border, either in a compact with other states or by itself.
Spokesman Matt Benson declined immediate comment Friday on why Brewer signed the bill Thursday and on whether she plans to invoke the authority.
The bill does not specify a cost or make an appropriation but says the state would use donations, inmate labor and private contractors.
Brewer recently asked President Barack Obama to extend the deployment of National Guard troops along the border and for more substantial border fences to block smugglers.
Our advice? Make it a do-it-yourself project, Jan. Send out a call for volunteers with hammers and nails and you’ll probably have about a million volunteers to help build that fence in no time at all.
Must be something about the desert heat that causes Arizona Republicans to grow bigger balls. Hell, even the state’s Governor has bigger balls than most Republicans and she’s a woman.

Here’s the latest news on Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien laws from the Associated Press:
The ACLU doesn't like Russell Pearce, which is probably the best political endorsement any Arizona politician could ever receive
The Senate Appropriations Committee that narrowly endorsed (Russell) Pearce’s latest bill on a 7-6 vote also approved others targeting automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants and requiring hospitals to report patients who cannot show they’re in the country legally…
It would make it a state crime with a 30-day minimum jail sentence to drive a vehicle while in the country illegally, and Republican Rick Crandall of Mesa said a provision allowing forfeiture of vehicles driven by illegal immigrants could prompt car rental companies to demand proof of legal status from tourists and other visitors.
“It’s the type of thing that completely undoes” a recently unveiled campaign to promote the state’s tourism industry, Crandall said.”
The measure allows for business licenses to be suspended if an employer doesn’t use the federal E-Verify system to check the work eligibility of new hires. Workers caught using a false identity to get a job would face mandatory six-month jail sentences.
Of course, the ACLU felt compelled to jump in against anyone defending the United States:
However, Alessandra Soler Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, said, “This bill is miles beyond SB1070 in terms of its potential to roll back the rights and fundamental freedoms of both citizens and non-citizens alike.”
Commenter “WhiskeyRiver,” who tipped us to this story, sums it up nicely:
“Russell Pearce is the state Senator that got Arizona’s S.B. 1070 pushed through last year. Rick Crandell is a dipwad. I would have no problem, and will be glad to prove at any time, that I’m a citizen to rent a car. And Ms. Soler-Meetze? ACLU says it all.”
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer went to court on Thursday. She filed suit against the Obama administration over its failure to notice that we have a freakin’ border between the United States and Mexico.

Greta Van Susteren was there with her notepad and pen and GretaWire has the details:
You don't need glasses to see the problem on the Mexican border
Governor Jan Brewer just announced . . . . on behalf of the State of Arizona, she is suing the Federal Government.
There are 5 counts . . . . and here is a summary (my notes) from the press conference.
1. failure to achieve operational control over the Mexico/Arizona border.
2. failure to protect Arizona from invasion and Arizona says invasion not just limited to other countries to invade but applies to people and secured border.
3. failure to enforce immigration laws . . . . and their failure causes national security risks . . . abuse of discretion that Fed only enforce the law they want to and they should enforce all.
4. declaratory relief about reimbursement for Fed govt’s failure to pay for incarceration of prisoners (illegal).
5. under 10th amendment . . . powers not delegated to the Fed, are reserved to the people and while control of border is fed responsibility, when criminals cross border illegally and commit crimes, it is a state responsibility and the Feds are interfering with the state to fulfill its responsibilities.
As highly-trained legal experts, we can see two huge problems with this lawsuit – problems that ordinary people who lack our extensive legal training would probably overlook.
First, it assumes that the Obama administration actually recognizes the existence of a border. And second, it assumes that they recognize the authority of the Constitution.
C’mon, Tom, who do you think you’re kidding? You’d be nervous about going into any bar more than a half a mile from Manhattan’s upper east side.
C’mon, Tom, who do you think you’re kidding? You’d be nervous about going into any bar more than a half a mile from Manhattan’s upper east side.
But if you should someday happen to find yourself in a bar in Arizona, take our advice. Don’t order any of the foo-foo drinks you sissy elitists normally order.
No Kahlua and milk. No brandy and ginger beer. No piña colada with pink umbrellas. No white wine. No raspberry Fanta. No appletini. No tequila with a splash of cranberry juice. No Baileys over vanilla ice cream. No Japanese plum wine and soda. And no Pink Ladies. Definitely no Pink Ladies.
Well, not unless you’re drinking with Barney Frank and he’s dressed in his Village People cowboy costume and you’re in that special little bar he knows in Scottsdale.
One other tip: When you’re introduced to a man in a bar in Arizona, do not say, “Is that a six shooter in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.”
How bad is it going to be for Democrats in November? So bad that Harry Mitchell, an incumbent Democrat Congressman from Arizona, is running intentionally deceptive TV commercials that might just lead viewers to believe he’s a Republican.

The phrase “I’m a Republican” is repeated five times in the commercial, but it never quite gets around to actually explaining that Harry’s a Democrat.
For Harry’s sake, we hope this commercial fools more people than his comb-over does.
A few weeks ago we reported that it may be months before the new troops Obama promised to station on the Mexican border actually show up. One Arizona sheriff is now steaming mad because the government is delivering signs almost as fast as it’s delivering troops.
A few weeks ago we reported that it may be months before the new troops Obama promised to station on the Mexican border actually show up. One Arizona sheriff is now steaming mad because the government is delivering signs almost as fast as it’s delivering troops.
CNS News reports the details of the deficiency:
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said requests by Arizona law enforcement personnel and Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) for 3,000 National Guard troops along the state’s border with Mexico have been answered so far with 1 percent of that number deployed there this week.
“We have a whopping 30 [National Guard troops] this week that are showing up,” Babeu told CNSNews.com. “It’s less than a half-hearted measure designed to fail.”
But the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has placed 15 signs along a 60-mile stretch of Interstate 8 that links San Diego with Phoenix and Tucson warning travelers of drug cartels and human trafficking operations.
We fully expect the Obama administration to announce that these signs cost $1,000,000 each and created or saved 53,000 jobs.
Dever is sheriff of Cochise County, which lies along the Mexican border. He told CNSNews.com that he’s not happy that the U.S. State Department recently reported Arizona to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Not happy at all.
Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever knows vermin when he sees 'em
We’d say Arizona Sheriff Larry Dever is giving the U.N. more respect than it deserves, but far be it from us to let our personal opinions color our 100% impartial presentation of the news.
Dever is sheriff of Cochise County, which lies along the Mexican border. He told CNSNews.com that he’s not happy that the U.S. State Department recently reported Arizona to the United Nations Human Rights Council. Not happy at all.
“Well, it’s just amazing to me,” Dever said. “Course, I have about as much regard for the U.N. as I do the vermin that hides in the rocks around my house here and reaches out and tries to bite me every now and then.”
President Bush blew off the U.N. Human Rights Council as a joke because its members included consistent human rights violators like China, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Russia, Cuba, Pakistan, Tunisia and Egypt.
But the Obama administration, in its infinite wisdom, couldn’t wait to join up, claiming that U.S. efforts could improve the organization.
Instead, we’re now ignoring those nations human rights violations and making up human rights violations our own states are supposedly committing.
Of course, they’re vermin. But as the scorpion said to the turtle in the punch line of that old joke, “You knew what I was when you found me.”
The Obama administration submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council last week and among the many American sins for which it apologized was Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law.

The temptation to openly laugh at the United States must be getting stronger and stronger.
The Obama administration submitted a report to the United Nations Human Rights Council last week and among the many American sins for which it apologized was Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law.
Keep in mind that the beacons of brotherhood who sit on the UN Human Rights Council include Angola, Egypt, South Africa, Bangladesh, China, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and believe it or not, Cuba.
Let’s just say that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is less than pleased. She wrote an angry letter to the President condemning the report, demanding its withdrawl and calling it “downright offensive”.
The Associated Press has the details:
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state’s controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations’ human rights commissioner.
The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.
In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is “downright offensive” that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.
“The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to ‘review’ by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,” Brewer wrote.
Of course, the members of the Human Rights Commission listed above are confused by the concept of building a wall to keep people out. Their human rights records are all they need to do the job.
Sheriffs in Arizona seem to grow cojones the size of Yuma watermelons. Paul Babeu, the Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, has a message for President Obama:
Sheriffs in Arizona seem to grow cojones the size of Yuma watermelons. Paul Babeu, the Sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona, has a message for President Obama:
“If the president gave me a half hour,” Babeu said, “I am confident that I could convince him and to show him the way that he can personally secure the border, and he would be the hero of everybody that truly transcends bipartisan politics and secures that border. I believe that if a leader truly wanted to do that we have the means and the resources necessary to secure our border and to protect America once and for all, and then we can get to the point in the future, only after the border is secure, that there is some type of discussion about what do we do with the approximate 13 million people who are here illegally.”
Pinal County, located in Southern Arizona is a major route for smugglers bringing narcotics and illegal aliens across the Mexican border.
C’mon, President Obama, you visited Afghanistan in an effort to pretend you care about that war. Don’t you owe it to the people of Arizona to at least fake it for them, too?
There’s a rebellion brewing in state houses across the country. To paraphrase Network, people are mad as hell about illegal aliens and they aren’t going to take it anymore.

Now Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who’s running for governor, has proposed an anti-illegal alien law that’s even tougher than Arizona’s.
Reuters reports the anti-illegal immigration information:
Wimpy-looking guy introduces tough bill
“Florida will not be a sanctuary state for illegal aliens,” McCollum, who was accompanied by state Representative Will Synder, said in a statement that also gave details of the proposed law.
The legislation would require law enforcement officials to check a suspected illegal immigrant’s status in the course of a stop, or a violation of another law.
This goes beyond the existing situation in the state where officers are allowed to check for immigration status, but not required to.
Florida, especially its southern portion, is a major U.S. migration destination for nationals from the Caribbean and Latin America, making it a cultural and racial melting-pot.
McCollum’s office said the proposed Florida immigration legislation goes “one step further” than a similar law recently introduced in Arizona, which has triggered protests and a constitutional challenge from President Barack Obama’s administration.
The Major League Baseball Players union has protested the Arizona law and some players say they may boycott next Sumer’s all-star game in Phoenix. They may want to rethink this, because at the rate states are proposing Arizona-like laws, they may run out of places to play.
In what may be the least surprising announcement made in months, Janet Napolitano revealed Thursday that the troops she promised Arizona and other border states won’t be in place for weeks. Maybe months.

Arizona lawmakers asked for National Guard troops on the border and Napolitano promised to have them in place by August 1, but it looks like Tucson’s just going to have to wait a little longer. Or a lot longer.
“The first began arriving, or the command and control elements began arriving, on the 1st of august. They should all be there within, I would say, 30 to 60 days,” said Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano.
Napolitano went on to say, “Or 90 days. Or maybe 120 days. Or maybe not at all. You know what I love about my job? The more you lie, the easier it gets.”
Rick Sanchez, the poster boy for CNN’s ratings problems, once said Iceland was too cold for volcanoes. He once read the words “ad lib a tease” straight off the teleprompter. And he once asked a guest how long nine meters is in English. But he may have topped himself last week.

That’s when he looked an Arizona state representative Rick Murphy in the eye and said, “What is your beef with illegal immigration?”
Feel free to watch the clip several times to savor the stupendous Sanchez stupidity.
In an effort to rid California of the millions of illegals who sap the state’s dwindling coffers, SEIU, AFSCME and Teamsters union bosses have loaded people of color onto buses and sent them to Arizona. Their hopes are to not only help the Late Great State out of debt, but also to assist in promoting Arizona tourism.

THIS JUST IN: The preceding story was somehow misreported. We have learned that the Unions were shipping protesters to march against Arizona. Our mistake.
Nicely done, President Obama. Well played, Attorney General Holder. Since the court decided in your favor on the Arizona illegal alien law, support for your position has skyrocketed. And by skyrocketed, we mean plummeted.

Rasmussen reports that a remarkable 68% of American voters now want a friggin’ fence:
One more thing, President Obama: If you're not really going to fight to win the war in Afghanistan, how about bringing the troops home and putting them on the border, too
Support for the building of a fence along the Mexican border has reached a new high, and voters are more confident than ever that illegal immigration can be stopped.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of U.S. voters now believe the United States should continue to build a fence on the Mexican border. That’s up nine points from March when the Obama administration halted funding for the fence and the highest level of support ever. Just 21% oppose the continued building of the border fence.
Support for the fence is strong across all demographic groups. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it.
To say that Chris Matthews is wrong on virtually every issue is to state the obvious. But last night the Hardball host nailed the court decision against Arizona’s illegal alien law. Absolutely nailed it.

Matthews: Let me finish tonight with this federal injunction against the new Arizona immigration law. First of all, it is a killer issue politically for the Democrats this fall and a huge windfall for the Right. It will anger even those people who believe the Arizona law went too far. It will dramatize the main case raised by the Tea Party people, that the federal government in Washington has become too powerful, that the rights of states have been terribly abridged. That is the political consequence and it will be felt mightily this November.
The Obama administration announced Monday that illegal immigrants from Mexico have until Aug. 1 to make it across the U.S. border before it gets really serious about border security with the deployment of 1,200 additional National Guardsmen there.
We'll believe President Obama sent National Guard troops to the Mexican border when we see them there
Many years ago, we found ourselves drinking a beer or three with a couple of Kiwis in a pub out in the middle of the Australian Outback. The owner of the pub, a pleasant middle-aged woman, came around to tell us we had to leave because it was closing time. We hadn’t finished our beer, so we lingered. A few minutes later she came around again to tell us we really had to leave.
We still hadn’t finished, so one of the Kiwis asked, “What happens if we don’t?”
“Ahhh, then you’d be in big trouble” she said with a big smile on her face. “Because I’d call the police and you’d only have three days before they showed up to arrest you.”
That summarizes President Obama rapid response to violence on the Arizona border as reported by the Los Angeles Times:
The Obama administration announced Monday that illegal immigrants from Mexico have until Aug. 1 to make it across the U.S. border before it gets really serious about border security with the deployment of 1,200 additional National Guardsmen there.
The Times story goes on to say:
The Aug. 1 troop deployment, announced weeks ago and being implemented next month to supplement previous border efforts, comes just three days after Arizona’s tough new illegal immigrant enforcement is scheduled to take effect. The ACLU, Obama administration and government of Mexico, among others, are challenging the law in federal courts, seeking an injunction to halt the July 29 implementation, called S.B. 1070.
The Department of Homeland Security said the additional troops would be deployed for one year to support surveillance and efforts to combat international drug trafficking along the border.
It said 524 troops would go to Arizona, 224 to California, 250 to Texas, 72 to New Mexico and 130 somewhere else in command support roles. The troops set for Arizona equal almost two per mile of state border with Mexico.
Far be it from us to dispute the Honorable Janet Napolitano, but those numbers didn’t sound right to us.
130 of them will be stationed “somewhere else in command support roles”, which leaves just 1070 that will actually be stationed on the border. (A remarkable coincidence, isn’t it, that Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law is SB 1070 and that Obama will station 1070 troops on the border?)
According to Wikipedia, the length of the Mexican-American border is actually 1,969 miles. So rather than two per mile as Napolitano claims, there will actually be just one National Guardsman every 1.84 miles.
Assuming that they patrol in three 8-hour shifts, that means one National Guardsman every 5.5 miles.
But even that is being far too generous, because if we assume that they patrol in groups of at least ten for safety reasons, that means one group of National Guardsman every 55 miles, far from the two per mile that Napolitano touted.
Feeling more secure now?
Claiming “a sense of unprecedented urgency,” the DHS statement quoted Secy. Janet Napolitano as saying:
Over the past year and a half, this administration has pursued a new border security strategy with an unprecedented sense of urgency, making historic investments in personnel, technology and infrastructure. These troops will provide direct support to federal law enforcement officers and agents working in high-risk areas to disrupt criminal organizations seeking to move people and goods illegally across the Southwest border.
Napolitano’s press release was issued on July 19. To complete the analogy started way back at the beginning of this story, the illegal aliens, drug runners, people smugglers and terrorists only have 12 days to finish their beers before the police show up.
And even then, they won’t have to worry too much because there won’t be enough “police” to actually make a difference.
