Raman’s Rigged Results

Los Angeles Democrats are stealing the mayoral election to ensure there is no real choice for voters in November.

On Wednesday, June 3rd, the day after the California primary, it looked like Los Angeles voters would have a clear choice in November between leftist Mayor Karen Bass (D), who finished first, and Spencer Pratt (R), who campaigned on commonsense conservative views. Pratt led socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman by eight points—30% to 22%, equal to 37,000 votes.
 
But as the ballot tally dragged on over the next four days, Raman “miraculously” wiped out Pratt’s lead and overtook him—27.1% to 26.7%. Reports indicate that Raman’s “surge” of support came from voters on Skid Row. In other words, homeless “voters” with no addresses or phone numbers to verify. How convenient.
 
Let’s be clear: This is fraud!
 
There’s no doubt about it, and here’s the evidence: It is well-known that more Democrats vote by mail. So, it would be logical that Mayor Bass and Raman would gain more votes than Pratt in the mail-in ballots. But Bass gained virtually nothing. The great gain in votes all went to Raman, the candidate that the Democrat machine needed to knock Pratt out of second place and, thus, the general election.
 
That’s the whole point—Democrats don’t want a candidate like Spencer Pratt on the November ballot, exposing their failures and corruption for the next five months. If Pratt actually won, he would threaten all of the Democrats’ fraud schemes that keep them in power. So, they are stealing the election to ensure there is no real choice for voters in November.
 
What we’re witnessing in Los Angeles is the destruction of our cherished right to vote! Democrat election fraud is the real danger to our constitutional Republic.
 
The Trump administration is currently suing California for refusing to comply with a review of the state’s compliance with federal election laws. U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli notes that California allows individuals to register to vote using “forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising,” such as club membership cards and prescription drug labels.
 
 
 
Deadly DEI
 
Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old British university student, got into an altercation with Vickrum Digwa, a member of the Sikh religion, in Southampton, England. Digwa’s brother called the police. When the police arrived, Digwa told them Nowak had made racist remarks about him.
 
When the police questioned Nowak—who was lying on the ground—he told them repeatedly that he’d been stabbed and couldn’t breathe. Confronted with a young man on the ground claiming he’d been stabbed and a Sikh claiming he’d been insulted, the police handcuffed the young man bleeding out on the ground. Moments later, Nowak was dead.
 
What happened to Digwa? The police didn’t handcuff him. They merely escorted him to the police car.
 
This brutal murder happened last December. But under British law, the media are restricted in their reporting on active investigations. During this time, the British police did everything they could to bury the details of the crime.
 
Thank God there was video evidence. The gruesome and horrific details of Henry Nowak’s death all came out after the trial concluded last week with Digwa being sentenced to a minimum of 21 years in prison. Now, officers of the Southampton police unit who handcuffed Nowak are under investigation for possible criminal negligence.
 
It’s also being reported that police departments in Southampton had just gone through an extensive “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) course on how to fight their innate white supremacy and “unconscious bias.” This leftist ideology is what caused British police to handcuff a dying young white man based on false accusations of racism.
 
 
 
Civilizational Suicide
 
President Trump and members of his administration have not hesitated to call out European leaders who are allowing the destruction of Western Civilization. Vice President J.D. Vance did not pull any punches on the significance of Henry Nowak’s death. Vance wrote:
 
“Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging.
 
"He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.”
 
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth spoke Saturday at the U.S. military cemetery in Normandy, France, on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. He not only recalled the courage of the men who stormed the beaches, but he also called on European leaders to have courage today. He said:
 
“In the years since these beaches, much of the West in some places, in some quarters, and in some capitals, grew comfortable. We forgot that freedom is not free. We forgot that peace is not wished into being. It is bought with purpose, with honor, and with strength.
 
"The men who landed on these beaches knew this. The question we ask ourselves is, do we? … Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain, in Italy, in Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?”
 
Britain’s leftist leader, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and other top officials in his party were offended by Vance and Hegseth. They immediately accused the United States of “interfering in their internal politics.” They are hypocrites. During the “summer of love,” as American cities burned, Starmer posted a picture of himself “taking a knee” in honor of George Floyd.
 
 
 
Christian Pride
 
The Los Angeles Dodgers played the Los Angeles Angels at Friday’s “Pride Night” game. All Dodgers players but one—relief pitcher Blake Treinen—went onto the field wearing gay pride hats.
 
Of all the major sports leagues, Major League Baseball is the “worst offender” when it comes to pandering to gay rights organizations and indoctrinating fans with LGBTQ propaganda. Every MLB team except for the Texas Rangers is hosting “Pride Night” events this month.
 
Three years ago, the Dodgers made headlines for giving a “Community Hero Award” to a group of perverted drag queens who mock Catholic nuns.
 
There are several committed Christians on the Dodgers team. My message to them and other Christian athletes is simply: Don’t do this. You cannot bow to the lies of our age. You will be held accountable at the throne. Have the courage to stand up for your faith. Otherwise, stop wearing a cross and just drape yourself in the homosexual pride flag when you go out on the field next year.
 
 
 
Israel vs. Iran
 
Missiles were flying across the Middle East this weekend. The U.S. hit Iranian military targets this weekend. Iran attacked Bahrain and Kuwait. Hezbollah attacked Israel. Israel attacked Hezbollah.
 
As the tensions flared, the New York Times reported that Pentagon intelligence officials are worried Israel is engaged in “espionage.” The alleged “espionage” is that the Israelis are monitoring what our negotiators are saying to Iran. Both the United States and Israel immediately denounced the story as completely untrue.
 
Then all of a sudden, Iran attacked Israel, and Israel responded. This leak to the New York Times looks like a setup to drive a wedge between the American people and Israel. I think it is more than possible that Iran has agents inside the U.S. government.
 
When the ancient nation of Israel was recreated in 1948, the entire U.S. foreign policy establishment warned Harry Truman not to recognize the new Israeli state. His secretary of state threatened to resign in protest if he did so. But Truman was the first world leader to recognize Israel because he was a Christian.
 
Years later, Harry Truman remarked, “I had faith in Israel even before it was established. I knew it was based on the love of freedom, which has been the guiding star of the Jewish people since the days of Moses.”
