I am rather certain that most democrats arent raised by single mothers
I said predictor, people can be converted at any time. But some are born into it.

I would say it's prison. 90% of prisoners who have voted
It's more like 70% and there are a lot of anarchists in prison along with the Democrats.

free gibs is part of the mindset.

According to Dr. Sowell and others, one of the strongest predictors of both criminal behavior and Democratic affiliation is whether or not a person was raised by a single mother, especially in cases where leftist ideologies have influenced the empowerment of these mothers to adopt traditionally masculine roles without the accompanying discipline, where the state often takes on the role of the father in the household.

1. Christopher Uggen and Jeff Manza's Study
  • Study: Christopher Uggen and Jeff Manza, in their book "Locked Out: Felon Disenfranchisement and American Democracy" (2006), examine the political affiliations of individuals with felony convictions. They found that felons are disproportionately likely to be African American and low-income, demographics that tend to lean Democratic.
  • Key Findings:
    • The study estimated that in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, 68% of felons would have voted for Al Gore (Democrat) if they had been allowed to vote.
    • The study also estimated that approximately 35% of non-incarcerated felons were registered to vote before their conviction, with the majority leaning towards the Democratic Party.
2. 2004 Florida Study by McCarty, Poole, and Rosenthal
  • Study: A 2004 study conducted by Nolan McCarty, Keith Poole, and Howard Rosenthal analyzed voter registration data in Florida, where felon disenfranchisement laws are strict.
  • Key Findings:
    • The study found that before their disenfranchisement, about 65% of registered felons in Florida were registered as Democrats, compared to about 25% who were registered as Republicans.
    • This study also noted that the demographics of incarcerated individuals—such as being disproportionately African American and low-income—are groups that tend to lean Democratic.
3. Ariel White’s Study on Felon Voting Rights
  • Study: In a 2019 paper titled "Family Matters? Voting Behavior in Households with Criminal Justice Contact," published in The Journal of Politics, Ariel White explores the voting behavior of households with criminal justice involvement.
  • Key Findings:
    • The study found that people with criminal records and their families were less likely to vote overall, but when they did vote, they were more likely to support Democratic candidates.
    • The study did not provide exact percentages of political affiliation but reinforced the idea that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in political leanings.
4. Uggen, Manza, and Thompson's Work on Felon Voting and Disenfranchisement
  • Study: In their 2006 article, "Democratic Contraction? Political Consequences of Felon Disenfranchisement in the United States," published in the American Sociological Review, Uggen, Manza, and Thompson further explore the political implications of felon disenfranchisement.
  • Key Findings:
    • They estimated that felons would likely have voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidates if allowed to vote, with estimates ranging from 60% to 70% of felon voters supporting Democrats.
    • The study highlights the potential impact of disenfranchisement on election outcomes, particularly in closely contested races.
Key Takeaways:
  • Studies consistently show that before incarceration, individuals with felony convictions are more likely to be registered as Democrats, particularly because these individuals often come from demographic groups (low-income, low education, low information,  African American) that traditionally lean Democratic.
  • The percentage of felons registered as Democrats before incarceration ranges from approximately 60% to 70%, with a smaller percentage registered as Republicans.
  • These studies highlight the intersection of socioeconomic status, race, and political affiliation, which are key factors influencing the political leanings of individuals before incarceration.

David Ignatius is a journalist with deep connections in the deep state intelligence and national security communities, which he has built over decades of reporting and colluding on these topics. His work has given him access to sources within these agencies, enabling him to provide in-depth analysis and coverage of complex issues related to national security, foreign affairs, and intelligence operations.

Ignatius's ties to the intelligence community stem from his professional work as a journalist, which requires cultivating sources and relationships with individuals in these fields to provide accurate and informed reporting. This gives him access to an intelligence network that operates outside of democratic oversight. The extent of this collusion is evident in the absence of thorough investigative reporting on these agencies.

Doesn't matter what tribe you think they are in. 

Asking the government to report on itself is like asking criminals to police themselves....

It's troubling enough when former government employees secure top lobbying positions, but when they are paid to distort or suppress the truth regarding the government, it constitutes serious civic malfeasance.

Trump took a 10 million dollar bribe from Egypt
There are significant claims regarding Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the handling of international aid to Ukraine. Some allegations include:
  1. Election Delays: It is true that elections in Ukraine have faced delays or complications due to the ongoing conflict. However, these delays are often linked to the practical challenges of holding democratic processes in a war-torn region, rather than outright cancellation. While the United States managed to hold elections during its Civil War, it's understandable that in a country embroiled in a severe conflict, postponing democratic processes might be seen as a pragmatic decision if the country is corrupt. In such contexts, leaders may prioritize immediate security and stability over maintaining regular democratic procedures, though this does not absolve them from scrutiny regarding governance and corruption.
  2. Offshore Accounts: There have been many verified reports of past offshore accounts linked to Zelensky and his associates. Investigations into these claims should be thorough and transparent to ensure accountability.
  3. International Aid: Concerns have been raised about the transparency of how international aid to Ukraine is managed. Proper oversight and auditing are essential to ensure that aid is used effectively and accounted for. Verified sources claim many instances of unaccountability and lack of oversight.
  4. Defense Industry Connections: The relationships between defense contractors and government officials creates conflicts of interest. Scrutiny and oversight are necessary to address potential conflicts and ensure fair policy decisions. Profit-driven warfare should not be tolerated in modern society.

There's no evidence that Donald Trump took a $10 million bribe from Egypt in 2016. Claims like these often come from misinformation, MSDNC, or unfounded rumors.
If you have specific details or sources regarding the claim, it could be worth verifying their credibility. Saying "it's there but the evidence was destroyed" requires proof too. Otherwise, this is a big lie of the left as big as the ones on the right.

Maybe if WAPO and MSDNC didn't blow their credibility on other "big lies" like grabbing steering wheels, calling troops suckers, grabbing pussies, calling KKK fine people, and injecting bleach....
