Election Fraud

       I work as election inspector in our township.  We finally have photo identification requirements to vote in Wisconsin this year.  Implementation of this law was held up in the courts for years by liberal, partisan judges.  It is an excellent law, and any citizen of voting age has the right to exercise their privilege.  
        The argument that it is too hard for some people to get an ID is BS. There is no charge for an ID in Wisconsin, and if travel is a problem, volunteers are available to provide transportation.  This argument has no basis in fact.
      There are many other things that are less important which require a photo ID.  I can only think of one valid reason not to have a valid voter ID, and that is to promote voter fraud.
        I don’t think we have voter fraud in our little township, but I have no question that it does exist in many urban areas.  Analyzing election results can clearly show fraud.  When one area shows an overwhelming voter turnout and almost 100% for one candidate, I find it statistically improbable not to be the result of voter fraud.  There are three major areas of voter fraud.  They are:
·       Dead people voting
·       Illegals voting
·       People voting multiple times
       
       Dead people vote, because deceased people often remain on voter rolls.  Friends or relatives then mail in the absentee ballot for the deceased person.  There is a joke that a person always voted Republican until they died and then voted Democrat.  Unfortunately, it has been documented that many dead people vote, and most of them do vote Democrat. 
        Some illegal immigrants vote.  I recently saw an instance where a woman voted five times with an ID that clearly showed she was not a citizen.  In this case the individual was charged of a crime, but that instance is the exception.  In most cases people are never caught and if caught, never prosecuted.  It is easier to ignore the crime than expose the extent of the voter fraud.
        Many people vote multiple times.  Students might vote both at their home and where they go to school.  Many people have multiple homes.  They might have a legal residence and a vacation home.  With  multiple states involved it is even harder to catch people.  Someone might live in the north, but go to their home in the south for the winter.  Absentee ballots make it feasible to vote in multiple locations.  Absentee ballots also make it easy to vote for an individual that do not vote themselves. 
        President Trump is trying to address the issue of voter fraud, but many states to not want to cooperate.  The excuse is protecting voter Identity.  I think this is ridiculous.  The real reason is that these states that don’t want to cooperate know there is widespread voter fraud in their state and don’t want it to be exposed.  They are happy with the results with the voter fraud.
        How much voter fraud is there?  I don’t know.  It may not be millions, but there definitely is enough to determine the outcome of an election.  It is a crime.  We need to stop it.          It is usually the losers that complain about voter fraud.  Why didn’t Hillary complain about voter fraud?  If we think about it, the answer is obvious.  She would rather blame the Russians than stop voter fraud.
        Trump won and he is trying to stop voter fraud.  I commend him.  We need more law and order.  That was one of Trump’s campaign promises.  
       
        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Trust Out Government?

        I enjoy history.  I think we can learn a valuable lesson from it.  History makes me question how much we should trust our government. 
        Last week I watched an Amelia Earhart special on the History Channel.  The official government position is that Ms. Earhart’s plane went down in the Pacific Ocean with her and her navigator, Captain Fred Noonan, in 1937.  After viewing the program, I once again questioned our government.
        Earhart probably made a water landing by a Marshall Island beach.  The Marshall Islands even have stamps showing this event. 
        Earhart had a functioning radio after landing and she sent messages for two days in the predawn hours.  These messages were picked up by ham radio operators in the U.S. and Canada
        The Marshall Islands were under the control of the Japanese at the time.  The evidence shows that the Japanese recovered the plane, Earhart, and Noonan.  Evidence of the plane and the wheels the Japanese used to move the plane have been found.
        A photo has recently been discovered that show Earhart and Noonan on a pier in the Marshall Islands Jaluit Harbor.  Their plane also shows on a barge pulled by an identified Japanese ship.  This photo had been misfiled, and maybe that was the only reason it had not been destroyed by the government. 
        Earhart and Noonan were then taken to a Japanese prison on Siapan where they later died.  The Japanese said the “woman pilot” and Noonan were spies. 
        Many witnesses have also confirmed these events.  A woman who saw the “woman pilot” in the prison when she was a girl still is alive and living in San Francisco
        After Siapan was taken from the Japanese in WWII, two U.S. Marines were told by their Captain to dig up a grave which he said was Earhart’s.  The bones were identified as a 40 year old woman and they disappeared.  In the 80’s the grave site was excavated again and recovered additional bone fragments.  These too have disappeared. 
        If this scenario is to be believed, why did our government cover up the truth?  One explanation is that the U.S. had cracked the Japanese code and didn’t want the Japanese to know.  If this is true, why continue the cover-up after the war?
        Earhart is certainly not the only government cover-up.  Anyone who has ever studied President John Kennedy’s assassination knows the official account is a lot of BS.  There is only one explanation of what really happened that fits all the facts, but who was responsible is another story.  Maybe that is why the cover-up continues. 
        Benghazi is a recent example of a government cover-up.  Blaming a video is ludicrous.  We know what happened, but who and why was the military told to stand down?  Was this purely for political reasons for the upcoming Presidential election, or were they covering up some other activity?  
        We have other famous potential government cover-ups.
What really happened in Area 51 in Nevada?  Have we had visitors from outer space?
        Our Founding Fathers counted on the media to keep our government honest.  Unfortunately, that is certainly not true today.  Rather than diligent investigative reporting, the lame stream would rather go with fake news to get headlines. 
        Some polls show that only 14% of our country feel they can trust our media.  That is pretty sad as we have a higher percentage than that of left wing extremists that agree with the fake news. 
        I hope and pray that both the government and media can change. 

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

First Dollar Coverage Auto Insurance

        I first posted a blog like this on Friday, April 13, 2012.  It is even more relevant today.

I had to put expensive new tires on my vehicle.  I wish they were covered by insurance. 
Just changing the oil is expensive.  That should be covered too.  With the current cost of gas, filling the tank is expensive.  Why not have all these normal, routine, and maintenance items covered by insurance?
Let’s take a look at how this would work.  When we go into any auto repair or maintenance facility, we would give them our auto insurance card.  With gas stations, maybe the insurance card could be like a credit card so we can just swipe the card.  That would be really convenient. 
After we receive the auto service or product like gas, the retailer providing the product or service will bill our insurance company.  The insurance company will then review the claim to determine if it is covered. 
If covered, the insurance claims person will check if you have met your deductible and what percentage is your co-pay portion.   The insurance company will then notify you and the retailer submitting the claim how much the insurance company is paying and how much is your responsibility.  After the retailer knows how much of the claim your responsibility, they will bill you. 
Obviously, the insurance company will have to raise your insurance premiums to cover the additional claims.  There will also be substantial costs for handling all the additional claims, which will require more employees and more insurance company facilities.  The insurance company will also need to increase profits. 
There will also be added expenses for the retailer who provides you products and services for your vehicles.   They now have additional costs for submitting claims to your insurance company and then billing you for the portion of the claim that is your responsibility.  This will add to the cost of serving you. 
There is also a monetary cost of doing business for the retailer.  More working capital will be required, as it will take longer for the retailer to get paid for the product or service.  The cost for them will have to go up to cover these new costs of doing business.
Costs will also go up due to lack of competition.  Why would you as a consumer care how much you are paying for your gas or maintenance?  Why would you care what kind of gas mileage your vehicle gets, or how much you drive?  The gas and maintenance is covered by insurance anyway, so who cares?  Who cares if insurance premiums increase?              
How much will your total vehicle operation and maintenance costs increase?  It is safe to expect an increase of 300 to 500 percent.  Some people won’t care because it is so convenient, or they do not understand how much it is increasing the cost of operating their vehicle.   Does this sound ridiculously stupid?  Yes, but why should it?  This is exactly what we are doing now with first-dollar-billing medical insurance.  Why doesn’t that sound stupid?
We can never control health care costs until we stop paying normal, routine, and maintenance heath care costs with insurance.  Insurance has created the problem.  We can’t solve the problem with insurance. 
We must move to true major medical insurance and medical savings plans to control health care costs.  If we don’t, we will eventually see government provided health care, and I don’t mean “Single Payer.”  “Single Payer” still has the same claims processing costs as present medical insurance coverage, and we know the government has never handled things as well as private industry.

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.

Repeal - Replace - Repair

     I wish everyone a happy 4th of July.  When our Founding Fathers declared their independence, they did not want government controlling their lives.   When they signed the Declaration of Independence, they were committing an act of treason which could mean being shot or hung.  They knew this would lead to a war that they didn’t know they could win. 
        If the revolution succeeded, one of their primary concerns was controlling the size of the federal government and the control it held over the people.  This has become a problem today.  Many elected Republicans and Democrats want to increase the control the federal government has over our lives, because increasing the size of the federal government increases their power. 
      Obama Care is a total disaster, but federal programs never seem to go away.  Donald Trump and the Republicans ran on repealing and replacing Obama Care.  I agree with the idea of just repealing it.  Repeal Obama Care and write a health care bill that makes sense later.  As I have said many times, we can’t fix a problem caused by medical insurance with medical insurance.  It just doesn’t work, and more government control has proven to increase the cost of health care.    
    The media and most politicians don’t seem to know the difference between health care and medical insurance.  They are two different things.  People can have health care without medical insurance, and many people have medical insurance, but no health care because of deductibles and co-pays. 
       The health care reform bill is on hold in the Senate.  I heard Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson talking about the problems with the bill.  He was clear and rational because he actually understands how insurance works and how it should be used.  It was refreshing to hear a politician who actually knew the difference between health care and medical insurance. 
        The current bill does not repeal or replace Obama Care.  It tries to repair it.  I thought this is what the Democrats wanted.  It is the best fix for Obama Care they will see, so why isn’t every Democrat in the Senate voting for it? 
        Democrats have to get over their hatred for President Trump and Republicans, and start serving their constituents.

        God bless President Trump and guide him to make America great again.
