(WND)—The 2020 election was a mess. Only the gullible and self-deceived believe Joe Biden legally obtained more votes than any presidential candidate in U.S. history. If this were true, Democrats would have beaten their drums concerning this “historic” vote, like the pig in the old Valleydale Sausage commercials, but even Democrats know no one would believe it. They even booted Biden from the 2024 presidential race.
The Heartland Institute recently “concluded that mail-in ballot fraud ‘significantly’ impacted the 2020 presidential election,” and revealed that just the effect of fraudulent mail-in ballots was enough to hand Biden the election. The study charged state legislatures “to do all in their power to ensure the 2024 presidential election is as secure as possible.”
After Harris’/Biden’s first two years of disastrous policies, the 2022 election was also plagued with problems. We did see a “Red Wave” in Florida, where election integrity was strictly guarded. States like Arizona had multiple problems, with ballot printers in Republican areas suddenly not working or running out of ink, disenfranchising voters who waited in line for hours, never getting to vote.
The 2024 election is already full of Democrats’ “fun and games,” as they vow to “guard democracy.” Members of the North Carolina Board of Elections (NCSBE) are selected by the governor. North Carolina’s governor, being a Democrat, of course put three Democrats on the board along with two Republicans, so all the votes down party lines allow Democrats to win.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) and other GOP officials are suing the Democrat-led NCSBE because the RNC says the board allowed “nearly a quarter million people” to register to vote in North Carolina without proving their identity. The RNC requested a federal judge revoke these registrations, making these people ineligible to cast a ballot in the 2024 race unless they re-register.
The Republicans filed their complaint in October 2023 stating the NCSBE violated the federal law called “the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), by using voter registration forms not requiring submission of a driver’s license or the last four digits of a Social Security number.”
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated, “The NCSBE has once again failed in its mandate to keep non-citizens off the voter rolls, fueling distrust and jeopardizing our elections.”
Patrick Gannon, an NCSBE spokesman, claimed it is “impossible” to remove these names this close to the election because “federal law blocks such action within 90 days of the election. Mail-in ballots begin being sent to voters in early September.”
Democrats claim this lawsuit is just to “amplify baseless conspiracy theories and come November use them to claim the election is being stolen.” If this is true, why did the Democrat-controlled NCSBE violate the federal HAVA law and send out the registration forms that ignored the state voter ID law, and why didn’t they reply to the Republican complaint in October?
Amazingly, Gannon says removing illegal aliens from voter registration rolls is against federal law. So, according to Gannon, you can violate the federal law, HAVA, and register people improperly, and then run behind federal law and say you can’t fix it. That is very interesting. Oh, by the way, when does he go to jail for breaking federal law?
Republican Party leaders state the NCSBEs “lack of action to purge the voters so far ‘eviscerates confidence in North Carolina’s elections’ and calls into question the state’s commitment to fair elections.” The lawsuit says, “Free and fair elections are the bulwark of the citizenry’s trust in their government. Ensuring that qualified voters – and only qualified voters – are able to vote in elections is the cornerstone of that compact between the state and its citizens.”
Giving just a glimpse of what is happening, 19 illegal aliens in North Carolina, who have motor vehicle licenses, are voting in N.C. One gentleman has voted in 16 elections for two decades. Sixteen of the illegal aliens have been removed from the rolls, but three of them are still on the roll with “local officials say[-ing] there’s not much they can do about it.” The Clinton-era National Voter Registration Act requires states to push voter registration when people show up to conduct DMV business. Non-citizens easily register to vote by accident or on purpose.
Democrats claim all of this is echoing the “false” claims Trump made concerning the election in 2016 and 2020, but it’s hard to understand how it is a “false” claim if someone is illegally registered to vote, whether he is an illegal alien or not. If you break the law to register to vote, then you are illegally registered to vote. Every illegal vote cancels a valid vote.
Aug. 20 the NCSBE again voted down party lines to approve the use of digital identification. Republican’s state the law requires an “ID card,” but Democrats say, “There’s certainly enough flexibility within the statue for us to approve a digital card.” In addition, the NCSBE has approved over 130 types of IDs for voting purposes, including student ID cards. Do these IDs clarify one’s U.S. citizenship status?
Again voting down part lines, Aug. 29 the NCSBE voted to keep the Trump-endorsing RFK Jr. on the ballot. Originally the Democrats voted to keep him off the ballot, but now they voted to keep him on the ballot.
The Gateway Pundit published numerous cases of voter fraud going back as far as 2004. Democrat organizations like “Operation Big Vote” and “GBI strategies” are plagued with “thousands of fraudulent ballot registrations.” Concerning the 2020 election, while Democrats knew of “widespread, systemic ongoing voter registration fraud in Michigan,” since the investigation was turned over to FBI Director Chris Wray, “no charges have been filed” for more than three years.
NPR reported that “800,000 noncitizens” are allowed to vote in the local elections of New York City. Might this have influenced election results?
Also, Texas removed 1 million ineligible voters from registration rolls since the 2020 election, but meanwhile, over 13 million illegal aliens have crossed the border.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
