A favorite talking point of the conspiracy theorists goes down the toilet:

  • The Postal Service released a report into claims that employees tampered with Pennsylvania ballots.
  • They found "no evidence" for the accusations, first brought by Project Veritas.
  • Investigators reviewed the ballots and found no indications of tampering.
  • See more stories on Insider's business page.
Federal investigators looked into accusations from Project Veritas that Pennsylvania postal workers tampered with mail-in ballots and found that the claims were false.

The findings came in a little-noticed February 26 report from the US Postal Service Office of Inspector General. The report drew widespread attention after being posted by the website 21st Century Postal Worker earlier this week.

The investigation was initially launched after Project Veritas, a far-right political operation seeking to undermine media outlets and tech companies, produced an affidavit from a "whistleblower" postal worker, Richard Hopkins, in November.

Hopkins claimed that he overheard other postal service employees in Erie County, Pennsylvania, backdating ballots that arrived in the mail. In the 2020 election, Pennsylvania counted only mail-in ballots sent by Election Day on November 3.

Hopkins recanted the affidavit he signed days later. A video obtained by Insider's Charles Davis showed that Hopkins had other people in the room as he swore to the affidavit over Zoom.

The Inspector General report said Hopkins admitted he never actually heard other employees talking about backdating ballots in the first place.

"[Hopkins] revised his claims, eventually stating that he had not heard a conversation about ballots at all - rather he saw the Postmaster and Supervisor having a discussion and assumed it was about fraudulent ballot backdating," the report says. "[Hopkins] acknowledged that he had no evidence of any backdated presidential ballots."

Apparently the brainwashing , purge, propaganda, re-education of the military is hitting a few snags...

Defiant US Soldiers Openly Questioning Why BLM Riots Weren't Treated Like Capitol 'Insurrection' | ZeroHedge


Soldiers "from every echelon" of the US military have been openly questioning why last year's violent BLM and Antifa riots weren't treated like the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a comparison which has flown sideways up the ass of the military's top enlisted leader, Chief Master Sergeant Ramón "CZ" Colón-López.
In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]"
"This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," CZ added.

The Pentagon is freaking out bc the extremism standdowns are backfiring and the troops keep asking about BLM riots and Antifa — Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) March 20, 2021[/QUOTE]
According to Military.com, CZ told reporters that he is "concerned about the way that some people are looking at the current environment."
Colón-López said the confusion some younger troops have expressed shows why the training sessions on extremism are needed.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the stand-down Feb. 5 and gave units across the military 60 days to discuss extremism in the ranks with troops.
The military's policies are clear, he said: Troops are not to advocate for, or participate in, supremacist, extremist or criminal gang doctrine, ideology or causes. -Military.com


Others are wondering why leadership's view is so disproportionate.
Similar that's ridiculous. The Capitol riot was 1 day. BLM had 600+ in just 90 days & they have the support of the mainstream media. Way bigger threat — Sean Fitzgerald (@IamSean90) March 20, 2021
CZ claims that the military 'remains an apolitical organization,' and that it doesn't matter if extremist groups are far left or right, adding "both are off limits."

"If it's an organization that is actually imposing harm, threat, destruction, criminal activity and so on, then we don't condone that behavior," he said, adding "We're focusing on letting people know exactly what the oath tells us to do when it comes to obeying lawful orders, remaining apolitical and basically being good stewards of society."

But as the training sessions took place, some themes emerged that worried leaders.

Those conducting the sessions wanted "to make sure that military members understand the difference between Seattle and [the Jan. 6 riot in] Washington, D.C.," Colón-López said. "But some of our younger members are confused about this, so that's what we need to go ahead and talk to them about and educate them on, to make sure that they know exactly what they can and cannot do." -Military.com

According to CZ, 'younger troops need to be educated' on the difference between the broad (Marxist-organized) BLM and Antifa movement and extremists within said movements.

It is amazing the kind of stupid “training” that occurs in the military today. Actually, this crap has been getting out of control for the last ~20 years. Instead of training for combat, survival, improvisation, etc., the focus is now, and has been on being sensitive and PC. This, in conjunction with limiting true training (such as throttling down Drill Sergeants in Basic), is ensuring that the new generation of soldiers are mindless drones. Makes them easier to control and bend them to your will. Of course, that’s the plan for the left, isn’t it?

"The organization, in partnership with other nonprofits, will initially provide beds in seven different brand-name hotels for families deemed vulnerable when caught at the border." So get caught and be given free housing in a nice hotel, paid for by the taxpayers of the USA.

"The opening of the reception centers would mark a significant shift by the administration of President Joe Biden, a Democrat, away from the detention of migrant families in for-profit facilities." So hotels are not for-profit facilities?

Even here, I can't say/write what I'm think right no about Creepy, Sleepy, Crooked, Basement Joe Bunco and the Marxocrats. It is that vile. But anyone paying attention saw this coming during the primary.
Oh yeah, the Democrat Marxists are for the "little guy", especially the ones that are of out work from their nearly minimum wage jobs right now. Allowing 100's of Thousands of unskilled illegals into the country won't affect that situation. :smoking:

But the teachers unions are overjoyed with the new student tax monies they can apply for.

Joe Biden’s first press conference: Everything we know | The Independent

So he is finally going to hold a press conference!

I love what this writer has to say about it.

"The president has opted instead to take questions about as often as most of his recent predecessors, but he tends to field just one or two informal inquiries at a time.
By this point in their terms, Donald Trump and George H W Bush had each held five press conferences, Bill Clinton four, George W Bush three, Barack Obama two, and Ronald Reagan one
."

So how can he not have had a press conference, but has taken questions as often as most of his recent predecessors?

But this one is the best:
"Reports speculate that Mr Biden’s delayed decision to hold a conference comes as part of a media strategy to avoid further division of the nation, reserve major media set-pieces for the celebration of a legislative victory, and limit errors from a historically gaffe-prone politician."

The only real reason is the one listed last: "limit errors from a historically gaffe-prone politician"

LOL
They’re scared to death of him talking without a teleprompter and pre screened questions.
He’s got clear signs of dementia, and the stolen election to put the liberal puppet in place is being recognized by everyone around the world except the naive and intellectually challenged “progressive” Democrat shitheads who voted for him.
