I just think about the conservative all stars in the history books: Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, George W Bush and the great recession and a useless war in Iraq, to name a few. And now a despot, Donald Trump. Given the other rising "stars" in the GOP conservative parade, it looks like we're in for more of the same...

Akin to uncovering suspected voter fraud:

I get a hoot out of watching all the geriatrics at a Perdue rally in Georgia nodding their heads in agreement when he rails about "socialism" as if they (and him) even know the difference between that and communism. But just try to take away their SOCIAL security and medicare benefits(which he would do in a heartbeat), and you'd hear the screaming all that way back to Washington!...

Pretty much what I'd expect to hear from a "conservative"...

Despite what passes for a governor in South Dakota, mask mandates have been passed there locally:
"Areas with mask mandates see 69% fewer new COVID-19 cases"

As far as the dual death counts go, I think it's political in that state, pure and simple, just like their governor...

"New on Wednesday, the DOH is reporting deaths in two different categories — deaths among people with COVID-19 and deaths caused by COVID-19. On the state website, “deaths among people with COVID-19” is described by “reflects people who died with COVID-19, but COVID-19 may not have been the cause of death listed on the death certificate.”

That's like saying diabetic patients who died with heart disease died with diabetes...

I needed a few laughs so I watched a couple of episodes of "Ancient Aliens" and "Histories Mysteries" on the History channel. Now don't get me wrong, I used to like watching the History channel--when it had history--but now I watch it for the comedy hour. The subject this time around was the Roswell incident and no doubt almost everybody has heard of it. What struck me was a parallel between theory that the government supposedly colluded to conceal the nature of the incident and thereby alter the results of the initial investigation which had revealed the airforce recovered a flying disc or saucer at the time and steadfast belief by skeptics that an alien craft actually crashed into a New Mexico ranchland in 1947 in the midst of an electrical storm. 
I think skeptics of the outcome of the election fall into the same boat.
Nevertheless, despite any concrete evidence, "eyewitness testimony" and a newspaper clipping of the story at the time apparently is enough to keep the belief machine in full gear. 
I'll cut to the chase and quote the excerpt from the PDF of the air force historian who has documented the event:
"As this study makes abundantly clear, the Declassification and Review Team found no
evidence of any extraterrestrial craft or alien flight crew. In fact, what they did find had
been declassified for more than twenty years-a shadowy, formerly Top Secret project,
code-named MOGUL."

It's actually a fascinating read and if you have the time, I think most will enjoy reading it. Despite the meticulous reporting of the nature of the incident, the History channel marches on fueling the belief system of those who believe otherwise just as right wing media does with bogus stories of election fraud. The latter might as well be called Roswell 2...
