WAS ARIZONA A ROBBERY OR A GIVEAWAY?

They say it’s official, that Kyrsten Sinema is Arizona’s new senator-elect, in the US Senate until 2024.

Think about it.

In an election year when this election had all the smell and taste of a heist-in-the-making, as I’d been warning for several months, August thru last week, it only seemed natural to assume that Democratic Party skullduggery would be involved.

Florida was a no-brainer, since, even under GOP election control, the same old mobsters are still controlling voter-counting in Florida’s south side like Capone did the whiskey business in Chicago’s South Side.

But there’s also Georgia, Montana, Wisconsin, and even several shoulda-been-winners in Virginia are waking up to find anomalies in the vote count, some of only a few thousand votes, that might have kept their district red.

So the Mob connection is still my theory about Arizona.

But conservative friends in Arizona argue to the contrary. Rush Limbaugh theorizes that Sinema won because conservatives, whose candidate, Dr Kelli Ward, lost to the moderate Martha McSally in the primary, just decided to not vote the “Senate” part of the ballot, so that every other GOP statewide candidate recieved approximately 260,000 more votes than McSally, and enough to beat Sinema. I’m told that over 350,000 in Maricopa County alone, a Republican stronghold, vote for the GOP governor, but were silent on the Senate race.

Hard to believe, but yes, plausible. Vanity and teat-fittery the likely culprits. If true[…]

Arizona, BLM, Bureau of Land Management, Hammond famity, Oregon rancher stand off

Vassarbushmills

Yeah, I know. I’ll bet you’re thinking I’m talking about Americans claiming our property rights to America..

The sudden stand-off in Oregon over a ranch-land conviction and jailing, then added incarceration, of an Oregon ranching family head and his son, (by the name of Hammond) has highlighted an issue that has been bubbling under the surface for at least 6o-70 years.

How this standoff will end is anyone’s guess. Having lived out West I’ve had private, professional and official contact with militia members, in both Arizona and Montana. I’ve found them boorish in the way that 20- year old Twitter-bunnies who don’t know enough words to come up with a single, simple thought are boorish. But I refuse to label them, at least as long as those Left-driven Twitter-bunnies are trying to label them as snot-eyed inbreds and religious nut-jobs who deserve to be gunned down like dogs.

It’s hard to give militias a fair public trial, for they are stand-offish with people outside their circle, which, in ranching country like Oregon, are small circles anyway.

But I know a lot more about the forces that stand arrayed against these men in Oregon. And the image of Ruby Ridge or Waco are still fresh for many of us, where, if you will recall, during a mountain stand-off, an FBI sniper (no one even knew they had any at that time) shot an unarmed woman standing on her porch, and in Janet Reno’s (or Webb Hubbell’s, take your pick) finest hour, FBI troops assaulted the Branch Davidian church compound near Waco, TX, recklessly killing 76 people, including 21 children.

Like Little Big Horn, some people insist Waco was a battle, others a massacre. But rather than get into the what-might-be’s of this Oregon standoff, …will the militia boys peacefully surrender and face trial where they can air their case publically (let’s all pray) or another Waco-like assault occurs? Waco dictates we need to into the mindset of trigger-happy feds[…]

Arizona’s Obamacare Co-Op to Shut Down After Receiving $93.3 Million From the Government

The Daily Signal by Melissa Quinn

Two days before the start of Obamacare’s open enrollment period, a nonprofit health insurance provider located in Arizona announced that it would be closing its doors, leaving more than 56,000 consumers to purchase new insurance plans.

On Friday, the Arizona Department of Insurance announced that Meritus Health Partners is winding down its operations and will no longer offer coverage in 2016. Meritus Health Partners is the 11th of 23 co-ops, or consumer-operated and oriented plans, created under Obamacare to shut its doors. The co-ops have received a combined $2.4 billion from the federal government.

Consumers currently insured by Meritus will remain covered for the rest of the year.

“[W]ith open enrollment beginning this weekend and many Meritus policyholders subject to re-enrollment, it was vital that the department step in and protect Arizona citizens,” Andy Tobin, the state director of insurance, said in a statemen.

Meritus Health Partners received $93.3 million in start-up and solvency loans from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Despite the money the co-op received, the nonprofit insurance company struggled to enroll consumers in 2014, an audit from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General found.

According to the report, just 869 Arizonans purchased plans from Meritus Health Partners by the end of 2014. The co-op had projected that it would enroll 23,998 consumers[…]

Solar companies swindle customers, get miffed when they complain

Arizona, fraud, solar energy corporations

 

Liberty Unyielding

Solar companies in Arizona claim they are victims of “slanderous campaigns” by electrical utilities spreading unsupported allegations, but letters from consumers tell a different story.

The Arizona Corporations Commission launched an inquiry last December “to study business models related to solar distributed generation,” inviting interested parties — including consumers, solar panel manufacturers, power companies, and interest groups — to submit comments, which are posted on the commission’s website….

You can view samples of consumer complaint letters here.

So utterly Progressive. If the consumer is displeased with the service, it cannot be what environmentalists, in this instance solar companies are offering, the problem must be the customer.

This brings to mind the emails and bulletins I receive from my utility company during the summer offering me a $25.00 rebate and lower monthly bills if I allow them to control my air conditioner and the emails and bulletins I receive during the winter offering the same if I allow them to control my heat. No thank you to all of the above. H/t Grumpy Opinions.

Another Attack On An Electricity Substation Near The Border; It’s Only A Matter Of Time Before They Succeed

By Steve Straub, The Federalist Papers

This is the second attack against the grid in the past few months. While the two incidents do not appear to be related they are a wake up call for us all. Be prepared to survive for up to 30 days or more without power, just in case..

Via AZ Central.com:

The FBI is investigating whether a makeshift bomb placed next to a 50,000-gallon diesel tank at an Arizona power station Wednesday has any connection to a suspicious incident this year at another substation owned by the same company.

New details are emerging from the Nogales, Ariz., attack, which caused minor damage and no injuries.

Contrary to initial accounts, the bomb did not explode. Nogales police Lt. Carlos Jimenez described it as a crude incendiary device that could fit in a person’s hand. It was placed under the valve of the diesel tank and ignited, charring the steel tank.

‘They were able to gain access to the facility illegally,’ Jimenez said. ‘They had some working knowledge of what that tank is or how it works….’

Ariz. Candidate Planning Run for Congress Switched Party Affiliation, Legally Changed Name to ‘Cesar Chavez’

Tags

Arizona, Congress

 

Progressives are having a tizzy fit over tactics used by 34-year-old Scott Fistler who was originally a Republican but changed his party affiliation to Democrat.

Adding to that Fistler doubled-down by also changing his name last year to Caesar Chavez in the hopes that the name change would garner him more votes from the Hispanic community.

Fistler aka Chavez plans to run for Arizona Congressman’s Ed Pastor’s seat this year. Pastor is retiring at the end of the term next year.

Fox News Latino

Chavez has run for office under the name Fistler twice – once as a write-in candidate for Pastor’s seat and again in 2013 for a seat on the Phoenix City Council – with both campaigns ending unsuccessfully.

When asked by the Arizona Republic why he changed his name to Chavez, the politician cited the need to make voters in the Latino-heavy district feel secure with him.

‘People want a name that they can feel comfortable with,’ Chavez said in an interview with the paper. ‘If you went out there running for office and your name was Bernie Madoff, you’d probably be screwed….’

Sleazy yes, but (a) Progressives do not own Hispanics and (b) Fistler’s tactics rank right up or down there depending on how you look at it as in line with the tactics of the left.
