“THE LAST STRAW”!!!
As I understand it, as part of the now underway Electoral College “process,” on 01/06/2021 each State’s Electoral College votes must be counted in a joint session of Congress. Whereon/wherein, the Vice President, as President of the Senate is the presiding officer, as tellers open, present, and record the votes of the States in alphabetical order. As the President of the Senate in turn announces the results of each State’s vote, and then calls for any “objections.”
To be recognized during this process, an “objection” must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If an objection is recognized, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of any objections, following the process set out in 3 U.S.C. §15.
After all votes are recorded and counted, the President of Senate declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States. With any such elected President and Vice President thereafter taking the oath of office and being sworn in on 01/20/2021.
With me personally, the “straw that will break the camel’s back”—the so-to-speak “Last Straw”—will be any failure of the Republican members of Congress to jointly and unrelentingly put forth and successfully defend “objections” to the Biden/Harris travesty that will otherwise be imposed on America on January 06, 2021.
Yes, in my view, our rhino-infested Republican Congress has in too many ways for too many years, shamefully left President Trump (and our Country’s future) relatively defenseless against the onslaught of the socialist/communist radical-left!!!
And, “IF” at this nation-critical time the Republican Congress joins in lock step with Senator McConnell and other self-serving, void of courage, and otherwise spineless, so-called servants of the people, and on/before January 06 fails to strongly, loudly, and successfully voice “objections” to the fraudulent Biden/Harris so-called “win,” . . . . . then my personal plans at this time will be to then depart from any association with the Republican Party, and spend my remaining years, whatever they shall be, as a registered Independent, with continued dedication to a pro-America, America-first, strongly politically-conservative agenda.
And, until uniquely courageous and dedicated President Trump (or like-gifted and dedicated patriot) rises again, most sadly watch (and support the unrelenting fight against) the nation-destructive train wreck that a much dysfunctional Republican Congress in shameful measure contributed to.

“THE CAMEL’S BACK-BREAKING STRAW”
Regardless of all the “Biden/Harris pandering spin” of big-tech/big-media/etc., . . . there is NOT a “President-elect”/“Vice President-elect” until the U.S. Congress, in joint session, meets on 01/06/2021, and thereon/therein properly processes each state’s Electoral College votes.
The Founding Fathers established the Electoral College “process” in the Constitution, in part, as a “compromise” between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of “qualified citizens.”
And, as a part of that now underway “process,” on 01/06/2021 each State’s Electoral College votes must be counted in a joint session of Congress. Whereon/wherein, the Vice President, as President of the Senate is the presiding officer, as tellers open, present, and record the votes of the States in alphabetical order. As the President of the Senate in turn announces the results of each State’s vote, and then calls for any “objections.”
To be recognized during this process, an “objection” must be submitted in writing and be signed by at least one member of the House and one Senator. If an objection is recognized, the House and Senate withdraw to their respective chambers to consider the merits of any objections, following the process set out in 3 U.S.C. §15.
After all votes are recorded and counted, the President of Senate declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States. With any such elected President and Vice President thereafter taking the oath of office and being sworn in on 01/20/2021 (i.e., on January 20th in the year following applicable general election).
Given the obvious failure of various states to ensure the integrity of their November 03, 2020 general election vote casting and counting processes, . . . the nation-destructive “straw that breaks the camel’s back,” will be any failure of the Republican members of Congress to unrelentingly put forth and successfully defend “objections” to the Biden/Harris travesty that will otherwise be imposed on America on January 06, 2021.
Yes, January 06, 2021, is clearly materializing as likely the “last straw” opportunity for truly patriotic members of Congress (regardless of Party) to responsibly stand up and save America from the life and liberty destroying agenda of the socialist/communist radical-left!
A last opportunity to prevent placing control of the most powerful military on the face of this Earth, and the ultimate fate of our precious Constitutional Republic, in the hands of indisputably one of the most corrupt self-serving, un-accomplished, career politicians in American history (Joe Biden), and his extremely radical-left running mate (Kamala Harris)—who, during the 2020 Democrat primary debates, was early-on even “rejected” by the Democrat Party’s base for obviously being personally, professionally, politically, and otherwise grossly unacceptable!

THE “ELECTORAL COLLEGE” PROCESS
(Note: Regardless of all the big-tech/big-media/etc., spin to the contrary, . . . there is NOT a “President-elect”/“Vice President-elect” until the U.S. Congress, in joint session, meets on 01/06/2021, and thereon/therein properly processes each state’s Electoral College votes.)
WHAT IS THE PROCESS? The Electoral College process consists of selection of the electors; meeting of electors where they vote for President and Vice President; and counting of electoral votes by Congress. Therefore, the Electoral College is a “process,” not a place. The U.S. Founding Fathers established it in the Constitution, in part, as a “compromise” between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of “qualified citizens.”
HOW MANY ELECTORS ARE THERE? HOW ARE ELECTORS DISTRIBUTED AMONG STATES? The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Each State has the same number of electors as it does Members in its Congressional delegation: one for each Member in the House of Representatives plus two Senators. The District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a State for purposes of the Electoral College under the 23rd Amendment of the Constitution. For this reason, in the following part of this posting, the word “State” also refers to the District of Columbia and “Governor” to the Mayor of the District of Columbia.
HOW ARE ELECTORS CHOSEN? WHAT ARE ELECTORS QUALIFICATIONS? HOW DO ELECTORS DECIDE WHO TO VOTE FOR? Each candidate running for President in each State has his or her own group of electors (known as a slate). The slates are generally chosen by the candidate’s political party in each State, but State laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are.
11/03/2020: WHAT HAPPENS IN GENERAL ELECTION? WHY SHOULD WE VOTE? The general election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (e.g., 11/03/2020). When we vote for a Presidential candidate we are actually voting for our candidate's preferred electors. Most States have a “winner-take-all” system that awards all electors to the Presidential candidate who wins the State's popular vote. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of “proportional representation.”
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION? After the general election, each State Governor prepares a Certificate of Ascertainment listing the names of all the individuals on the slates for each candidate. The Certificate of Ascertainment also lists the number of votes each individual received and shows which individuals were appointed as the State's electors. Each State’s Certificate of Ascertainment is sent to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as part of the official records of the Presidential election.
12/14/2020: The meeting of the electors takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December after the general election (e.g., 12/14/2020). The electors meet in their respective States, where they cast their votes for President and Vice President on separate ballots. Each State’s electors’ votes are recorded on a Certificate of Vote, which is prepared at the meeting by the electors. Each State’s Certificate of Vote is sent to Congress, where the votes are counted, and to the NARA, as part of the official records of the Presidential election.
01/06/2021: Each State’s Electoral College votes are counted in a joint session of Congress on the 6th of January in the year following the meeting of the electors (e.g., 01/06/2021). The Vice President, as President of the Senate, is the presiding officer. Tellers open, present, and record the votes of the States in alphabetical order. The President of the Senate announces the results of each State’s vote and then calls for any objections.
01/20/2021: The President-elect takes the oath of office and is sworn in as President of the United States on January 20th in the year following the general election (e.g., 01/20/2021).

"THE MANY FACES OF EVIL"
The United States of America—this only of its kind Constitutional Republic—has long been humankind’s best (and likely last) hope for liberty, freedom, and opportunity.
Aside from ever-present foreign threats, . . . what then would ever possess and drive any U.S. citizen/resident to—consciously and with factually-informed intent—strive to destroy our country, and its crucial foundation blocks (our U.S. Constitution; secured borders; common-language English; and common-culture rooted in Judeo-Christian principles)?
The answer, in the simplest of terms—“pure unadulterated evil” . . . with “evil” being that which is profoundly immoral and wicked, and “unadulterated” being that which is complete and absolute)!
“Evil” evidenced in various “behaviors”—such as, “greed,” “hate,” etc.
“Evil behaviors” carried out by an array of faces, including but not limited to a nation-destructive many within: the creators/administrators/controllers of so-called “big tech” (Google, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.); mainstream news media (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, etc.); “self-serving/corrupt” elected individuals and un-elected bureaucrats—in all branches of our local, state, and federal government; and by countless otherwise U.S. citizens/residents.
Ever-challenging our inherent “freedom of choice”—the “good” versus “evil” battle has waged since the beginning. As has humankind’s struggle to wrestle liberty and freedom from the jaws of tyranny, fascism, etc.
And, as countless of the World’s less fortunate continue to crave and pursue legal/illegal access to America’s many blessings, — along with an array of foreign threats, the “evil” within our borders continues an unrelenting assault to turn America into another socialist/communist hell-hole.
No doubt convinced that regardless of the pain and suffering that ensues, “they”—the self-declared elite—will always be safely aloof and securely detached from the human misery they create or contribute to. While forever comfortably nestled in their "gated" residences and positions of corruption and self-serving power and influence. Residences and positions of power and influence they did not gain in a socialist/communist stench, such as China, Cuba, Venezuela, etc., but rather, in the same America they are hell-bent to destroy!
As countless losers of liberty, freedom, and opportunity continue to bask in the self-destructive abyss of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and irrational fear.

THE “ME SIDE” OF “BLAME”
In addition to the ages-old Good vs Evil conflict, much of humankind has long wrestled with “crucial shortages” regarding liberty, freedom, food, shelter, clothing, safety, security, tolerance, understanding, personal responsibility, caring, compassion, love, etc. While ever-basking in an “overabundance” of unrelenting craving to “assign blame.”
And, in keeping with the long-standing tradition of “fault-finding,” I and no doubt countless others have in more recent times been especially and justifiably driven to jump on the band wagon (so-to-speak)!
And, in so doing, seek and “assign blame” for “THE EVER-GROWING EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO AMERICA” posed by, for example: China; Big-Tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.); America’s liberal-biased New Media; America’s radical-liberal infested Educational Institutions; and the socialist/communist radical-left factions of the Democrat Party; etc.
A most challenging “fault-finding” journey which, any resemblance of true self-appraisal, unfortunately reveals an inescapable “Me Side”! For example:
(1.) As China continues its overtake and destroy America agenda, . . . I knowingly and unknowingly purchase automobiles, smart phones, and an array of other products which, in whole or in part, are “Made in China”;
(2.) As so-called Big-Tech (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) increasingly use their fortunes and manipulating-algorithms to muzzle/cancel the free speech of those they disagree with, and otherwise support the nation-destructive agendas of the socialist/communist radical-left, . . . I continue to use Google and Facebook, and at times have even (shamefully) considered the use of Twitter as an aid to spewing my unsolicited pro-America politically-conservative views;
(3.) As our so-called Main-Stream News Media over the years became owned and infested with radical-left-biased political activists posing as “providers of news,” . . . I contributed to their ratings by watching/listening to, or otherwise being tuned to, their propaganda-infested broadcasts. A practice long ago “discontinued,” and more recently even applied to the once so-called “fair and balanced” FOX;
(4.) Even as our local newspaper has become more and more politically-liberal biased, and increasingly restrictive (if not totally intolerant) of politically-conservative leaning Public Mind submissions from its subscribers, . . . I have (not yet) “cancelled” our subscription;
(5.) As countless of our nation’s youth have been, and continue to be, brainwashed by educational institutions infested with radical-left biased administrative and teaching staff, and anti-America curriculum void of factual World history, etc., . . . I have never sought or served in a Board of Education role, or otherwise meaningfully confronted this truly nation destructive assault;
(6.) As, over the years, the socialist/communist radical-left factions within the Democrat Party, and their rhino/Trojan horse supporters within the Republican Party, overtly and covertly carried out anti-America, liberty/freedom/nation-destructive agendas, . . . I for “too many years” was irresponsibly oblivious to the existence and nature of, and threat posed by, our country’s many “enemies within”! And, much too detached from my responsibility to unrelentingly pursue being a meaningfully informed and constructively-active politically-minded citizen.
And, as I (likely now in vain) continue this most self-revealing “seek-and-assign-blame” journey, our precious Constitutional Republic is made no less threatened by, and I find and am due no comfort or pardon from, awareness of being but “one mere me”—in a nationwide “Me Side” of “Blame.”

“TO THE RESCUE ONCE AGAIN”!!!
Once again Facebook “comes to the rescue” of the socialist/communist radical-left! With some more shamefully-biased trampling on Free Speech from those of us with pro-America politically-conservative convictions!
Oh yes, once again, this time on 12/06/2020, FB brings the following message to my deplorable attention: "You Can't Comment Right Now. To prevent any misuse, we temporarily restricted your account."
Swift FB action taken after I again posted “apparently a few too many” of my less-than-supportive Comments in response to various public postings by others in regard to Biden/Harris/Obama. Swift FB free speech suppression executed on the heels of same FB restrictions of my account on 11/09 and 11/27.
Just further evidence of the sinister nature of threat that so-called “Big Tech” (Google, FB, Twitter; etc.) poses to our nation. When (as evidenced by herein examples), Big Tech’s algorithms are so meticulously “fine-tuned” that they are able to social-media-muzzle someone such as I—just an old “deplorable” senior citizen in SE Kansas, who has absolutely no political/monetary clout, connections, or otherwise meaningful influence on world events. Other than, just possibly, by way of my vote and expression of views.
So, once again, the World has been made a much safer, friendlier, loving, progressive, and otherwise “all-inclusive place” . . . by FACEBOOK'S SWIFT “BLOCKING & SUPPRESSION” OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTED VIEWS OF AN OLD GUY IN SE KANSAS!
As FB, Google, Twitter, etc., continue to make room for unlimited/unrestricted socialist/communist propaganda spewed 24/7 by the architects and supporters of the socialist/communist radical-left.
And, as these same pompous and self-serving so-called “big tech giants” likewise continue to bask in the benefits of a so-called “Platform,” while illegally imposing the content oversight/restrictions of an authorized “Publisher”! All in the face of bought-and-paid-for corrupt politicians within a dysfunctional U.S. Congress, unwilling to defend our most sacred First Amendment Rights! —William James Moore

“STAND EVER-SO-PROUD” AMERICA!
Do your best to “stand ever-so-proud” America! Strengthened and deeply comforted by the shameful fact that among our nation’s families, friends, acquaintances, government representatives, and virtually every other aspect of our U.S. population, are millions willing and striving to destroy America.
By their willingness and intent to place control of the most powerful military on the face of this Earth, and the ultimate fate of our precious Constitutional Republic, in the hands of indisputably one of the most corrupt self-serving, un-accomplished, career politicians in American history (Joe Biden), and his extremely radical-left running mate (Kamala Harris)—who, during the 2020 Democrat primary debates, was early-on even “rejected” by the Democrat Party’s base for obviously being personally, professionally, politically, and otherwise grossly unacceptable!
Without doubt, a “destroy-America thinking and behavior” driven by millions infested with ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, irrational fear! An infestation designed, employed, and otherwise enabled by the self-serving among us who lust for power and control, “regardless of the consequences”—even if the cost is the insidious life and liberty destroying abyss of the socialist/communist radical-left!

A "TRULY SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SWAMP"
What at times seems like only yesterday, it was supposed to have been a slam-dunk! Starting with 17 candidates, the Republican Party’s brutal and self-devouring primary had ended with one sole survivor, Donald Trump. The Democrat primary, beginning with three candidates, had soon became a race between corruption-incarnate Hillary Clinton and socialist/communist Bernie Sanders. With Sanders ultimately endorsing Clinton, as hacked e-mails exposed that top DNC officials had early-on dismissed Sanders as a viable candidate and attempted to undermine and derail his campaign.
Yes, the 2016 presidential election was supposed to have been a done deal! The socialist/communist radical-left swamp had over the years did its homework! Millions had been given and promised a seemingly endless list of “free-stuff” from our trillions of dollars in-debt public treasury. Years of effort had been invested in promoting victimhood, racial/social unrest, and an array of other divide-and-conquer agendas. Political-correctness had been widely entrenched as weapons against truth, fact, reality, free speech, and common sense.
Our educational institutions had been infested with radical-left biased staff and curriculum, to ensure brainwashing of the nation’s youth with hate-America indoctrinations and other liberty/freedom-destructive propaganda—void of any basic understanding of factual World history. The so-called mainstream news media (political activists posing as news journalists); entertainment-industry elite; and big-tech (Google, FB, Twitter, etc.), had saturated the country with politically-biased venom. And, the Swamp’s “Deep State” (power-lusting liberty-threatening manipulators within the U.S. Congress, IRS, FBI, CIA, etc.) was firmly established to disrupt and roadblock any serious threat to the “status-quo.”
A predicted certainty by many, our U.S. borders would have soon continued to be essentially open to all, providing a growing “voter-base” for some, and endless source of “cheap labor” for others. And, essentially forever secure would be the positions of power and influence, within the self-sustaining partnership between the Swamp’s powerful Washington DC element—the entrenched base of self-serving, power-craving career politicians, lobbyists, and bureaucrats, within “BOTH” the political-left and political-right.
But then . . . along came “President Trump”! Not chosen from the flawless among us, for none exists; not a self-serving career-aspiring politician committed to straddle-the-fence talk, but an independently-wealthy businessman capable of actually speaking his mind—even at the risk of offending those conditioned to hearing otherwise; a Washington outsider; someone not bought by and obligated to lobbyists and special-interest groups; a president putting U.S. interests above that of other nations, and U.S. citizens’ rights above the welfare of illegal aliens; striving to replace nation-destructive political correctness with plain talk, truth, fact, reality; publicly declaring radical/Islamic terrorists to be “radical/Islamic terrorists”; committed to the seemingly impossible task of “Making America Great Again”; donating his taxpayer-funded salary to charity; a President making it OK again to publicly make reference to “God,” show respect for the U.S. Flag, and to verbally and/or through publicly displayed signage actually express a “Merry Christmas Wish.”
Yes, “President Trump”—a never before encountered “TRULY SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SWAMP.” A President with more “America-first,” “We-The-People,” and otherwise “Nation/liberty-saving” prioritized accomplishments during his first term in office than most if not all his predecessors! And, a President whose second term represented/represents a truly “existential threat” to the Swamp’s very livelihood and ultimate existence!
Hence, the call for and relentless application of the socialist/communist radical-left’s ultimate weapon—the planned, willful, unlawful, immoral, and otherwise liberty/freedom destroying manipulation of our nation’s November 03, 2020 U.S. General Election.
An election representing the precious opportunity, by way of our votes, for we-the-people to try our best to do the right thing for our Country and future generations of Americans. And a most crucial opportunity for those among us consumed with ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and counter-productive aims and fears, to help prevent the following caution from Abraham Lincoln from one day soon becoming a most sad, shameful, and liberty-destroying reality.
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”—Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President.
A warning that seems to be more and more “unnervingly prophetic,” as one considers many of today’s happenings throughout our precious U.S. Constitutional Republic. Such as, within many of our families, friends, acquaintances, government representatives, and virtually every other aspect of our U.S. population, are millions willing and striving to destroy America. By placing, through legal/illegal means, control of the most powerful military on the face of this Earth, and the ultimate fate of our precious Constitutional Republic, in the hands of indisputably one of the most corrupt self-serving, un-accomplished, career politicians in American history (Joe Biden), and his extremely radical-left running mate (Kamala Harris)—who, during the 2020 Democrat primary debates, was early-on even “rejected” by the Democrat Party’s base for obviously being personally, professionally, politically, and otherwise grossly unacceptable!
But what do I know, I’m just an old unapologetic, irredeemable-deplorable who just possibly may have offended someone. And as a result, likely now labeled by the unrelenting, reality-denying, and so-called politically-correct as a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, and other yet to be declared “-ists” and “-phobics” from the socialist/communist radical-left’s ever-growing “divide, conquer, and control” playbook.
As America—humankind’s long best and likely last hope—now rests in the hands of we Americans still above ground. The so-called responsible “adults in the room?”
