This Is Why She Can’t Be Governor

Organization That Sued MLB Over All Star Game Brutally Weighs in on Stacey Abrams – PJ Media

Their points?

Moving the MLB All-Star game from Atlanta to Denver has done real harm to the communities of Atlanta, Cobb County and the state of Georgia:

  • More than 8000 hotel reservations were canceled.

  • Revenues from ticket sales, concessions and events at Truist Park – including the Futures Game and Home Run Derby Contest – by the more than 41,000 fans expected, were lost.

  • According to Cobb County Chief Financial Officer William Volckmann, the county would receive a “robust return” on its roughly $2 million investment to host the events. Previous MLB All-Star events have generated between $37 million and $190 million for their host communities.

  • Atlanta is 51% African-American, Denver is 9% African-American. U.S. Census data indicates there are roughly 7.5 times more African-American-owned businesses in Georgia than Colorado.

 

All of this lost from Georgia and Atlanta.

Their CEO, Alfredo Ortiz, made a brutal statement on Thursday regarding the Abrams campaign announcement:

“I’m appalled that someone who purposely harmed the small business community of Atlanta by encouraging Major League Baseball to move the All-Star Game to Colorado would have the nerve to run for Georgia Governor. If she has campaign ambitions, I suggest she run for Mayor of Denver. She’s done much more to help the citizens there than anyone in Georgia.”

True. She actively harmed her entire state, and now she thinks she should be their governor.

Ridiculous.

For Re-Election?

BREAKING: Stacey Abrams Announces She Is Running For Georgia Governor In 2022 | The Daily Wire

Wait, I can’t remember. Is she already the governor or not entitled to be governor?

“Regardless of the pandemic or the storms, the obstacles in our way or the forces determined to divide us, my job has been to just put my head down and keep working toward one Georgia,” she says in her video. “Because in the end, we are one Georgia.”

She’s going to have an uphill climb. If I were her opponent, I would just remind everyone constantly that she’s the reason there was no MLB All-Star Game in Georgia this year.

Then I’d tie her to President Joe Biden (D-USA) and every single one of his failing policies.

Well, it will be fun to watch.

Well, One of Them Was Armed With a Deadly Weapon, Kindergarten Scissors

WATCH: Two Moms Who Oppose CRT, Mask Mandates Arrested At Georgia School Board Meeting | The Daily Wire

Two mothers who oppose school mask mandates and Critical Race Theory in their children’s curricula were arrested Thursday at a school board meeting in Georgia.

The arrests happened one right after another near a security checkpoint with brand new metal detectors at the Gwinnett County Public Schools district headquarters, just before a school board meeting began.

The Gwinnett County school district, just northeast of Atlanta, is the largest in the state and serves more than 180,000 students.

You think these people would have learned from the Trump experience. You start treating parents like criminals and they decide they have nothing to lose by actually acting like criminals.

Or, in other words: you want more Trump? Because this is how you get more Trump.

Oh Noes! Not the Dreaded Tomahawk Chop!

Trump Does 'Tomahawk Chop' at World Series and the Left Flips Out – PJ Media

Former President Donald Trump (R-USA) showed up at the World Series and did the “racist” Tomahawk Chop in support of the Atlanta Braves. All by himself and tens of thousands of screaming fans.

This was, of course, The Worst Thing Ever.

 

I’m stating the obvious. You’re being divisive.

More Fake Racism in Georgia

Dindunuffin, Georgia Terrorist Threatening to Kill Black People Was Actually a Black Woman Creating a Hoax Crime - The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)

GEORGIA – […] Since last December, a Douglasville, Georgia neighborhood has been gripped in fear due to racially charged messages that have anonymously been left in the mailboxes of residents of color, reports Fox News. But now police said they have made an arrest and the alleged culprit is not who the neighbors expected.

Wednesday, the Douglasville Police Department confirmed that they had filed criminal charges against Terresha Lucas. Lucas is a 30-year-old Black woman who they believe threatened people in her community while posing as a Ku Klux Klan member.

If racism is so rampant in America, why is there such need to make it up?

If Chain of Custody Is Broken, the Ballot Cannot Be Counted. Period.

Roughly 43,000 absentee ballot counted in DeKalb County in 2020 violated chain of custody rule | Just The News

Look, I’m not going to try to convince you that Donald Trump (R-USA) won the election in 2020. I think there are a number of states where the official results are, shall we say, suspect.  But this kind of thing cannot happen, if we want to have faith in our elections.

More than 70% of the 61,731 absentee ballots put in drop boxes in the November 2020 presidential election in DeKalb County, Georgia, were counted and certified by officials, despite violating chain of custody requirements.

I truly doubt my dream will ever come to fruition, but I’m not going to stop harping on it. If the chain of custody is broken for a ballot, then that ballot cannot be counted. No matter what. I don’t care if that invalidates 90% of the ballots for a state. We must protect our system from voter fraud. And making this an inviolate rule will help immensely in getting to that goal. Have a judge strike down a whole swath of ballots, just once, and suddenly people will get serious about following the rules.

And then we can all believe the certified election results. Not just whatever side won.
