Allen West recount update: St. Lucie County canvassing board will recount early votes as Gertrude Walker mysteriously disappears.
| Gertrude Walker spontaneously performed an unprecedented partial recount that changed the results and created this mess. |
Despite the the appearance of impropriety, Treasure Coast Circuit Judge Dan Vaughn declined to intervene in the case and denied a request from the West campaign that he order a recount of all the early votes. In his ruling.
A divided St. Lucie County canvassing board decided Friday night to recount all 37,379 ballots from early voting as requested by Allen West. These are the votes that curiously swung to Patrick Murphy after Gertrude Walker made a decision to partially recount them in a late night move.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, has weighed in on this situation and made a statement supporting the suppression of voting transparency and has come out strongly against a fair recount of Floridians votes.
The head of the Florida Division of Elections Bureau of Voting Systems Certifications, David Drury, recommended recounting all eight days, with Getrude Walkers Attorneys fighting to suppress the vote while Gertrude Walker has mysteriously disappeared from the proceedings perhaps to avoid explaining her mysterious, spontaneous partial recount that changed the election results.Counties are required to submit final results to the state by noon Sunday. The state Elections Canvassing Commission will certify final results Tuesday. If the recount gets West within 0.5 percent or closer, then Florida Law will allow for a full recount. For the sake of transparency, we need a full recount.

Something is fishy in the Allen West Congressional race in Florida
I personally witnessed some odd goings on in my Florida District, when perfectly packaged absentee ballots arrived and had to be included in my district count. I wonder if someone can just manufacture fake ballots and deliver them to the election districts with cooperative district officers.
The Florida Division of Elections has become concerned over the anomalies in the count and is now sending three employees to St. Lucie County on Wednesday to try to figure out how 799 votes disappeared in Sunday’s partial recount of the close congressional race.
In order to keep the election as transparent as possible, a full recount must be enforced. We need to support Allen West in this effort, he is an outspoken Tea party member that is a refreshing voice in American politics.

Rampant voter fraud in Allen West Congressional district.
When more people vote than are registered to vote, there can only be one explanation. VOTER FRAUD. Look at the chart below for Allen West's Congressional district, how is it possible that we do not have a complete recount and a full accounting for the clearly impossible numbers below? Perhaps the entire 2012 election needs to be examined, we were all so surprised by the results, perhaps the United States had a completely fraudulent election. Can we depend on the corrupt U.S. media to investigate this? Nope.

An In-Depth Look at Islam's Achilles Heel
This long-held perspective has been radically twisted in recent times. According to the dominant narrative — as upheld by mainstream media and Hollywood, pundits and politicians, academics, and "experts" of all stripes — Islam was historically progressive and peaceful, whereas premodern Europe was fanatical and predatory. Or, to quote the BBC, "[t]hroughout the Middle Ages, the Muslim world was more advanced and more civilised than Christian Western Europe, which learned a huge amount from its neighbour."
The reason for these topsy-turvy claims is that "who controls the past controls the future," as George Orwell observed in his 1984 (a dystopian novel that has become increasingly applicable to our times). It is, therefore, unsurprising to discover that the greatest apologia for politically active Islamists and their leftist allies — and the first premise for all subsequent apologias for Islam — is purely historical in nature.
Recall, for instance, the most popular and oft-asked question to arise after the September 11, 2001 terror strikes: "Why do they hate us?" Unbeknownst to most, this question presupposed — indeed, was heavily laden with — a historical point of view that had been forged over decades and largely remains unquestioned, even by critics of modern Islam: because Islam was tolerant and advanced in the past, this entrenched perspective holds, its current problems in the present — authoritarianism, intolerance, violence, radicalization, terrorism, etc. — must be aberrations, products of unfavorable circumstances, politics, economics, "grievances" — anything and everything but Islam itself. Simply put, if they did not "hate us" before — but were rather progressive and tolerant — surely something other than Islam has since "gone wrong."
From here one can see the importance of safeguarding the current narrative of a historically "advanced" and "tolerant" Islam vis-à-vis a historically "backward" and "intolerant" Europe.
I myself experienced firsthand just how important controlling this narrative is for political Islamists. After the U.S. Army War College invited me to lecture on my last history book, Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War between Islam and the West, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its leftist allies launched an "unprecedented" attack on me and the War College. They issued — on two separate occasions — press releases and hysterical petitions (presenting the War College — even me, an ethnic Egyptian — as "white supremacists") and made several direct calls to and met with the heads of the War College — all in an effort to get my talk canceled.
In the end, they failed, in part because the National Association of Scholars sent a petition letter to then-president Donald Trump signed by over five thousand people, mostly university-affiliated academics. Ten congressmen also came to my support. More to the point, and as retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and former member of the U.S. House of Representatives Allen West, who also came to my support, explained, "not one sentence of his recent literary project [Sword and Scimitar] was mentioned by these Islamo-fascists [as being wrong]."
When CAIR and "woke" allies realized that their attempts at academic censorship had failed and that I would speak anyway, they urged the War College, and it agreed, to allow another historian to present a "counterview" in response to my lecture. This was John Voll, professor emeritus of Islamic history at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. (See here for how this renowned apologist misrepresented and whitewashed Islam's history of terror vis-à-vis the West.) Unfortunately, and despite the fact that the War College videotaped my talk (objectively summarized by a reporter here) and informed me that it would be, like all of their talks, posted online, it never was published.
At any rate, why did CAIR and its allies launch such an attack on me in the first place, especially considering that they did not respond similarly to my other books, which I also lectured about in other prestigious venues — books that dealt with current and hot topics (e.g., Crucified Again: Exposing Islam's New War on Christians and The Al Qaeda Reader)? Why instead did they go after a book that revolved around, of all things, "ancient history" — and with such vehemence, at one point desperately insisting that if I am allowed to lecture on it at the War College, American servicemen would get so riled as to start massacring Muslims on sight?
Because they too know what is at stake; they too know that "who controls the past" — which they are determined to continue doing — "controls the future." So long as the people of the West accept as a first premise that Islam was historically and for centuries an advanced, enlightened, and tolerant force — especially in comparison to...

Florida Gun Purchasing Laws Differ By County...
After the Orlando Islamic terrorist attack, many publications are reporting today that Florida only has a three day waiting period for purchasing handguns and no waiting period for purchasing a rifle.
I have always had to wait 5 business days for handguns and rifles, so what gives?
Apparently Florida Statutes allow the counties to impose their own rules on gun purchasing waiting periods.
In the three counties that make up South Florida: Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties; the waiting period for purchasing a gun is 5 days. This also applies to rifles, 5 business days in these three counties even though Florida Statute: 790.0655 Purchase and delivery of handguns; mandatory waiting period; exceptions; penalties states that the waiting period is three business days and immediate purchase for rifles.
If you have a concealed carry license, there is no waiting period in any county in Florida.
If you are not sure what the waiting period is in your county, the quickest way to find out is to call your local gun dealer, they of course are well versed on the local laws that affect and regulate their business.
On June 12th, 2016, Islamic Terrorist Omar Mateen, who lived in Port St. Lucie County, Murdered 49 innocent people in Orlando Florida (Orange County). He passed Federal Backgrounds checks to purchase a gun and worked as an armed security guard. Mateen purchased a handgun in Port St. Lucie County which has a three day waiting period for handguns and same day after background check for rifles. He waited significantly longer than 3 days to pick up his gun.

Allen West Speaks Out About The Harassment Of His Wife By Left Wing Radicals
I completely understand the Alinsky tactics and have no issue with the insidious and incessant personal attacks by the left against me. However, I am warning you, end your harassment of my wife Angela. The students from Florida Atlantic University who have gone to my wife’s office, stalked her at the FAU Board of Trustee meetings, and sent letters to her company headquarters, end it now. This is not a threat, it is a promise that if Angela calls and tells me of one more incident, you will face me, the side of me that you do not want to see. My wife Angela is an American citizen and if you believe that you can intimidate her to surrender her freedoms you are mistaken. Those left wing groups and lawyers associated with these individuals supporting their antics, I recommend you disassociate yourself. How dare you animals attack my wife and her professional reputation. This is your one and only advisory notice.http://allenwestrepublic.com/

Supply Chain Woes Could Worsen as China Imposes New Covid Lockdowns
 |
| Xi’an, China, during a coronavirus lockdown last month. At least 20 million people, or about 1.5 percent of China’s population, are in lockdown across the country |
American manufacturers are worried that China’s zero-tolerance coronavirus policy could throw a wrench in the global conveyor belt for goods this year.
WASHINGTON — Companies are bracing for another round of potentially debilitating supply chain disruptions as China, home to about a third of global manufacturing, imposes sweeping lockdowns in an attempt to keep the Omicron variant at bay.
The measures have already confined tens of millions of people to their homes in several Chinese cities and contributed to a suspension of connecting flights through Hong Kong from much of the world for the next month. At least 20 million people, or about 1.5 percent of China’s population, are in lockdown, mostly in the city of Xi’an in western China and in Henan Province in north-central China.
The country’s zero-tolerance policy has manufacturers — already on edge from spending the past two years dealing with crippling supply chain woes — worried about another round of shutdowns at Chinese factories and ports. Additional disruptions to the global supply chain would come at a particularly fraught moment for companies, which are struggling with rising prices for raw materials and shipping along with extended delivery times and worker shortages.
China used lockdowns, contact tracing and quarantines to halt the spread of the coronavirus nearly two years ago after its initial emergence in Wuhan. These tactics have been highly effective, but the extreme transmissibility of the Omicron variant poses the biggest test yet of China’s system.
So far, the effects of the lockdowns on Chinese factory production and deliveries have been limited. Four of China’s largest port cities — Shanghai, Dalian, Tianjin and Shenzhen — have imposed narrowly targeted lockdowns to try to control small outbreaks of the Omicron variant. As of this weekend, these cities had not locked down their docks. Still, Volkswagen and Toyota announced last week that they would temporarily suspend operations in Tianjin because of lockdowns.
Analysts warn that many industries could face disruptions in the flow of goods as China tries to stamp out any coronavirus infections ahead of the Winter Olympics, which will be held in Beijing next month. On Saturday, Beijing officials reported the city’s first case of the Omicron variant, prompting the authorities to lock down the infected person’s residential compound and workplace.
If extensive lockdowns become more widespread in China, their effects on supply chains could be felt across the United States. Major new disruptions could depress consumer confidence and exacerbate inflation, which is already at a 40-year high, posing challenges for the Biden administration and the Federal Reserve.
“Will the Chinese be able to control it or not I think is a really important question,” said Craig Allen, the president of the U.S.-China Business Council. “If they’re going to have to begin closing down port cities, you’re going to have additional supply chain disruptions.”
The potential for setbacks comes just as many companies had hoped they were about to see some easing of the bottlenecks that have clogged global supply chains since the pandemic began.
The combination of intermittent shutdowns at factories, ports and warehouses around the world and American consumers’ surging demand for foreign goods has thrown the global delivery system out of whack. Transportation costs have skyrocketed, and ports and warehouses have experienced pileups of products waiting to be shipped or driven elsewhere while other parts of the supply chain are stymied by shortages.
For the 2021 holiday season, customers largely circumvented those challenges by ordering early. High shipping prices began to ease after the holiday rush, and some analysts speculated that next month’s Lunar New Year, when many Chinese factories will idle, might be a moment for ports, warehouses and trucking companies to catch up on moving backlogged orders and allow global supply chains to return to normal.
