| | American and Arizona citizens have lost faith in our election system. Following elections in 2018, the very broken and Covid poisoned election of 2020 and the nationally embarrassing 2022 Arizona election (especially in Maricopa County where over 60% of AZ ballots are cast), We the People are justified in lacking faith in the system. Without election integrity and confidence in each citizen's vote, representative government, i.e., our Republic (not the Left's 'Democracy'), cannot exist and appears close to that outcome being engineered by the radical leftist and Marxist cabal we used to call the Democratic Party. At one time, before 2016, Arizona was a model of election integrity and honest mail-in voting mechanics that worked well for many years, reflecting the will of Arizona citizens giving legitimate consent to those who govern us. The majority of Arizona citizen voters cast their ballots by mail and confidence in the state's election system was solid. | | | NOTABLE QUOTES | Robert L. Kinney III contributor to American Thinker: Non-government scientists, even from Harvard University, have described technologies which “read our minds” by measuring “brain activity” and are used to attempt to determine a person’s intentions. Noor Bin Laden Substack: With our full complicity (for those of us who are guilty of owning a smartphone), these various “stakeholders” –– governments, corporations, international organizations, media, academia –– are herding us into our individual digital jails as they transform our nations into cell blocks. Ultimately, these will be integrated into one single centralized e-government: “prison planet”. Nations will be nothing more than digital entities, illusory lines on a map at best, their citizens relegated to mere inmates. Freedom and privacy, as we have known them, will cease to exist. Is this the future we really want? It may not be –– but if we don’t opt out before it’s too late, it will be the future we deserve. Joseph LoBue contributor to The Federalist: In the latest episode of lawfare irony, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron committed the very same financial fraud that he ruled former President Trump engaged in: economic overvaluation. The main difference is that Judge Engoron’s fraud has actual victims — Trump, the Trump organization, and the American people. Trump’s alleged fraud did not. | | | MORE ARTICLES | The United States and Arizona election systems are broken. The last several election cycles have demonstrated the defects in the electoral system and defined the Democrat project to increase large numbers of favorable and questionable ballots and not actual, legitimate votes by citizens of our state and our nation. Increasing numbers of illegal aliens vote across the country, especially after the last three years of intentional destruction of our borders by the current Administration. Without restating all the proofs and data indicating what has gone wrong with election integrity across America, what can the Arizona voting citizen do to not lose his or her ballot being honestly counted and expressing each legitimate citizen's choice of how we are to be governed? Project this critical question to millions of votes cast in primary and general elections and the question of election integrity becomes very clear. | | A bill aimed at lowering gas prices by allowing more types of gasoline to be sold in Arizona passed the Arizona State Senate on Thursday. In Maricopa County, environmental regulations allow for only two blends of gas to be sold to consumers, one winter blend and one summer blend, referred to as Cleaner Burning Gasoline, according to a news release. Senate Bill 1064 passed along party lines, but Democratic Sen. Catherine Miranda voted in favor, making the final tally 17-11-2. | | Inflation might not go back into the bottle voluntarily, and these mortgage rates – considered low in 1970-2000 – might stick around. The average conforming 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 7.0% in the latest week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association today. The daily measure by Mortgage News Daily has been over 7% for days. These are the highest rates since mid-December when they were on their way down. | | MUST SEE VIDEOS | | | | | | | ABOUT THE PRICKLY PEAR | The Prickly Pear (ThePricklyPear.org) is focused on delivering timely, fact-based news, and citizen opinion that reflects our mission to “inform, educate and advocate about the principles of limited government and personal liberty.” Please follow us on Twitter @PricklyPear_AZ for all our latest content. | | |
