Trump lost. Were there false votes? Sure, probably, why not, but is there any evidence of massive voter fraud? Nope. It depends what you consider 'massive' a few hundred thousand or just sufficient to change the outcome? The plan appears to have been just sufficient to change the outcome, but the outcome was so far Trump's way that it became a few hundred thousand. Amazing what you can do with remote access to vote counting machines with onside operators

We should make a big push to encourage more people from the British Isles, Australia and New Zealand to migrate to the US. We need to refresh "the blood". The Irish are already the 2nd largest self-identified ethnic group in the US. Only serious qualifiers I would put on immigrants would be "NO LEFTIES". After Boris gets through with them, we might get a lot taking us up on that offer. According to Census data, there are 39.6 million American who claim Irish heritage including five million who say they are of Scots-Irish heritage. That number is almost seven times larger than the entire population of Ireland (6.3 million). After German, Irish is the most common ancestry of Americans. Now Jed Kulko, chief economist for Trulia, has created a map showing the areas with the most concentrated number of Irish Americans. www.irishcentral.com/news/census-shows-almost-seven-times-more-irish-americans-than-population-of-ireland-218344001-237779801

Many Irish were 'transported' to the 'colonies' to the extent that Cromwell almost completely depopulated Ireland. "The Irish slave trade began when James II sold 30,000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. His Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main slaves sold to Antigua and Montserrat. At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early slaves to the New World were actually white.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well."www.africaresource.com/rasta/sesostris-the-great-the-egyptian-hercules/the-irish-slave-trade-forgotten-white-slaves/You will often see arguments that the Irish were really indentured servants. That was a construct of the newly independent USA and did not exist as an administrative capability in 1625 and in any case a cargo of children would hardly be able to be 'indentured servants'. You can also see why there are deep held resentments against the 'British' protestants among the Irish. Similarly, the protestants hated the 'Catholics'. All the enmity and the various 'Papists Acts' and their repeal led to riots in UK fomented by Lord George Gordon when the Navy and Army ran short of recruits and 'papists' were allowed both to join and be promoted in the British Armed Forces which were being depleted by the colonial wars. Those riots around the time of US independence and the writing of the Constitution were one of the reason for the 'Freedom of Religion' more correctly the Federal government could not have a 'state religion' such as protestant Christian.

Problem is, there just isn't enough gold to go around. Deflationary constraint would throttle the economy.

You could carry a fortune in a thimble. Gold would just keep going up ... but maybe with more constraints. I would disagee with JP slightly. Land, for example, is not credit if you own it free and clear. But neither is it money. But it is a stock of wealth. As it was for the settlers ... many times the only real wealth they had.

The GOP is DEAD. No tears for dead RINOs. Rep. Liz Cheney’s vote to impeach President Trump put her political future in jeopardy back home in Wyoming, revealed a state GOP official. Doubts quickly surfaced about her viability in the 2022 GOP primary after she announced her support of impeachment and then lead nine other House Republicans on Wednesday in voting to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. “She couldn’t win a primary today for dog catcher,” said Martin Kimmet, chairman of the Republican Party in Park County, Wyoming.
