HERE’S THE THING: A COUNTRY WHOSE POWER POSITIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ELECTED THAT HAS ELECTIONS WITH MASSIVE POSSIBILITY OF FRAUD IS IN DANGER:  Whole Lotta Cheatin’ Goin’ On.

They can scream themselves blue in the face about super-secure elections and how the cheating is not enough to flip it. Isn’t it? We have no reasonable way to audit, and every we doubt or ask questions we get shouted down.

I never game a d*mn for the reputation of Caesar’s wife, but I know system like ours, elections have to be above reproach. Because otherwise, we’re all tap dancing on a powder keg over the abyss.

We don’t have to prove it. They have to prove it. The left, which has opposed every attempt at cleaning up elections (aided by a few stinkers on the right) needs to wake up right quick. Because the ballot box is in serious doubt. And we don’t — really we don’t — want to open the next box.

YEAH, HEARD THAT:  THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he’s standing between President Trump and a coup named the institutions… CFR, Brookings, the general class… in 37 seconds in a video by Liz_Wheeler  . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat. They didn’t go after him because of drinking. They didn’t go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don’t. I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.

IS IT TRUE? DON’T KNOW. PERSONAL STUFF GOING ON. HAVEN’T LOOKED AT NUMBERS, BUT: For every 1,000 Trump points, 850 stayed Republican. 150 landed on the Democratic side. Everywhere.

There’s other weirdness in the numbers, but these a friend noticed day after the elections. A 15% flip, everywhere he looked.

Also, I echoed this on twitter and got someone claiming to work in intel quoting a conference started by someone affiliated with Mother Jones at me and snarling that I should prove it and calling me names. You know…. Sometimes one wonders.

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Pop Culture Proves It: The Left Loves Political Violence.

Seeing comedians embrace political violence is something new, sinister and revealing.

These examples work in two terrible ways. They show the moral rot within the artistic community.

The second, more alarming element? They share the Left’s complicity in cheering on violence. If a Kimmel, Che, Klepper or Goldberg met audience blowback for their pro-violence yuks, they’d probably stop.

We’re living in the death of shame, but personalities know enough to protect their livelihoods.

None of this means a Chappelle, Kimmel or Burr should be canceled or have their free speech rights violated. This is a warning, a bright red flag about a culture that shrugs its shoulders as violence escalates.

Those shrugs may soon turn to cheers. Then, pitchforks.

WE WILL EMBRACE NO NEW TECHNOLOGY BEFORE ITS TIME: FAA says air traffic control will phase out floppy disks in the next two years.

The US Federal Aviation Administration said on Thursday it will ‌replace by the end of 2028 the outdated floppy disks used for weather and other critical information at more than 400 air traffic control facilities across the country.

The Enterprise Information Display System will replace four systems dating back to the 1980s and will put important operational ​information in one place so controllers can quickly see air traffic updates …

‘We’re moving away from outdated, manual processes ​and replacing technology that once relied on floppy disks with a modern system that allows controllers to instantly share critical flight alerts, restricted airspace schedules and pilot reports,’ FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said in a statement.

When the New Yorker did a cover in 2013 parodying the launch of Obamacare with Barry holding Gordon Gekko’s huge 1980s-era brick cell phone and Kathleen Sebelius crossing her fingers in front of a 1990s-era computer with a CRT monitor and a floppy disk drive, they likely had no idea how antiquated government systems could be.

QED: No word yet when the FAA will also phase out vacuum tubes as well.

Related: “It’s All Elon’s Fault,” James Lileks writes. “After the midterm elections, there were many tweets from people rolling up their sleeves and announcing it was time to do the work of the people. Meaning, investigations, lawsuits, jail, drawings and quarterings, heads on pikes — and, of course, taking all of Elon Musk’s businesses away. Boils down to this: Thank goodness we’ve defeated fascism! Now we must use the power of the state to nationalize private industry.”
