A Circus Freak Show of Horrors
The Disingenuous Dr. Halderman
Until a week ago Professor J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan was pretty much unknown outside the world of cyber-security, in which he holds a place of distinction as an academic expert on security problems concerning elections in the U.S. and other countries. But this technical expert has put himself on the way to becoming a household name since in 2016 he reportedly advised the Clinton campaign team that they should request recounts of the presidential balloting in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania because of suspicion that Russia had hacked into their computerized voting systems and affected the outcomes.
Green Party Presidential candidate, Jill Stein’s petition for a recount of her 2016 Wisconsin balloting included an affidavit from Professor Halderman, which Stein cites as the sole “basis of belief” that irregularities occurred in Wisconsin that support her petition for a recount. So what does Professor Halderman say in his affidavit? The one point on which Professor Halderman lays the greatest stress is that he, Professor J. Alex Halderman, is a really, really big expert in cyber-security.

Of course now it's 2020, liberal voices with some of those even in Trump's own ranks loudly warned President Trump that the contents of Hunter Biden laptop are a losing issue for him in the winning of the 2020 presidential election campaign. Instead here, he should emphasize the economic progress promise of a second Trump term. I heard a distinctive unsympathetic Democrat commentator Marie Harf, on FOX News, state that voters don’t care about Hunter Biden‘s laptop. She’s wrong, and she knows it. Her party's resistance has persecuted President Trump for years with a series of made-up scandals, Russian collusion, Ukrainian interference, corruption, and indiscretions.
The Democrat claims are structurally almost indistinguishable from the Joe-Hunter Biden scandal except that their scale is all made up. Democrats did this, but not because they think the public is interested in the president's phone calls or associates, but because they pushed the ornorous belief that the correct public position should be all about character, of which these Democrat operatives were determined to blacken it with every weapon or pseudonyms that fell within reach while ignoring questions on all details or any issues about Democrat plans, programs, and laws. It's classic duplicity.
The Democrat campaign was a real piece of work with this critical aspect of the resistance. It means if you’re simply Donald Trump, corrupt to the soul of reason, then Joe Biden is a decent guy who was the quick fix for our lost national soul. Voters like to indulge in moral posturing and Democrats have spent generations convincing them that somehow they are better off morally, but not prosperous, and so Joe is really very moral. If these ploys didn’t work, Biden would never get elected. But they did, just open your eyes to reality on how their corrupt TV news networks along with Internet social media giants blocked or buried all of the glaring Biden picadillos.
