From Russiagate to the uselessness of masks to Hunter Biden’s laptop, the pattern we’ve all come to recognize is Democrat-controlled institutions lying to our face about something, then accusing people of being “conspiracy theorists” when people question the false narrative. Time after time, the “conspiracy theorists” were proven right.

So let’s hear Townhall’s Larry O’Connor talk about those missing 15,000,000 Biden votes from the 2020 Presidential election.

“It appears that upwards to 15 million or more Americans have been abducted.”

Then he shows The Chart.

“Starting all the way to the left, with Barack Obama versus Mitt Romney, and you can see there that Barack Obama just got over about 66 million votes. Then four years later, Hillary Clinton [got] about the same about 66 million votes as Barack Obama did. And then we get to 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, Joe Biden got, of course, famously, 82 million votes which is you know the difference of about 15-16 million votes.”

“That would be about 15 million votes that we believe disappeared. Because when you come back to this presidential election, you can see that Kamala Harris once again returns to form and gets that same sort of 66 million that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama did.”

“We saw this drastic drop all of a sudden this year, where the same number of voters in 2012, 2016 and 2024 all voted for a Democrat. But there’s that that outlier Joe Biden.”

“They were either abducted by aliens, or they got taken up to heaven by Jesus in The Rapture, or the people suddenly became apathetic about politics, where they rallied to vote in 2020 but now they don’t care.”

“They loved Joe Biden so much that they came out of the woodwork by the level of 15 million, but then they don’t like Kamala Harris, so they’re just going to sit it out?”

“Or our last option is that they never actually existed in the first place. The people didn’t exist. The ballots certainly existed, but not the people.”

“Total votes cast: 2004, 121 million. 2008, big year, Barack Obama caught fire, built a huge momentum behind him, and people got excited about making history. That increased by about 8 million [129 million]. 2012 it went down a bit about two million, two and a half million [126 million]. 2016, we’re back up around the same level. Total votes cast 128 million, which is about the same as it was in 2008.”

“You pop down to 2024, again, slight increase about 129 million again, which puts us back to the Barack Obama levels.”

“But then it was four years ago. Four years ago you’re looking at total votes cast 155 million. Have we ever seen anything like this before?”

“Is there any possible explanation to that? Are we to believe that that many people wanted to vote in 2020, and only 2020, and then this year they just shrugged and said, ‘Ah, forget about it?’”

“Are you telling me that with a billion dollars in the bank, Kamala Harris only focusing on seven states, the same seven states, by the way, that Joe Biden focused on four years ago, that they were that inept?”

“This is criminal malpractice in the world of politics, that they were that incompetent that with a billion dollars, they couldn’t get out that vote?”

“Somebody posted going back to 1984…Bellweather counties in America are seen as counties that [the] way these counties vote generally speaking reflect the way the presidential election will go.” Rather than O’Connor describing the chart, here’s the chart itself:

Whoever wins the “bellwether counties” wins the election, except in 2020.

It had to happen this way.

It’s hard to convince people that our election was tampered with. They have to see it with their own eyes to get it.

If you know people like that, send them this chart. pic.twitter.com/aiP5bZt72P

That seems…statistically unlikely.

“Donald Trump won every single one of those counties except for one. And yet that year (2020), the only year since 1984 the winner of these bellweather counties, which was Donald Trump, did not become the eventual winner of the Electoral College, the only one. And then we go to this last election, and you can see [in] 2024 Donald Trump won 88% of the counties, Kamala Harris won only two of them, and he was eventually the president.”

“So 2020 is the outlier. It’s the only year that Joe Biden ends up being the president, the winner of the Electoral College, by only winning 6% of these bellweather counties, just one of them, just one county, and it happened to be in his home state of Delaware.”

Roseanne Barr: “They still think Biden got 81 million votes at 4 a.m. Trump’s the most popular candidate of all time. He won three elections, two handily in a row.”

“It’s a fair observation. In fact, it’s hard not to reach this conclusion.”

“I’m curious as to how anyone is looking at these numbers and not asking this question.”

Democrats have been confronted by a whole lot of difficult truths following this election: A majority of Americans dislike their party, people hate wokeness, and Joe Biden was just as senile and corrupt as Republicans have argued all along.

Now they should face up to the fact that President Lol81million’s 2020 “victory” was due to massive voter fraud.

Just like all of us said four years ago.

Blade Fragments enable partial page updates by returning specific template sections, ideal for use with htmx or Turbo frameworks.

Using Blade Fragments

Basic fragment definition and usage:

// In your blade template
@fragment('notification-list')
    <div class="notifications">
        @foreach($notifications as $notification)
            <div class="alert">
                
            </div>
        @endforeach
    </div>
@endfragment

// In your controller
return view('dashboard')
    ->fragment('notification-list');

Real-World Implementation

Example of a live notification system:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Notification;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class NotificationController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $notification = Notification::create([
            'user_id' => auth()->id(),
            'message' => $request->message,
            'type' => $request->type
        ]);

        if ($request->hasHeader('HX-Request')) {
            return view('notifications.index', [
                'notifications' => auth()->user()->notifications()->latest()->get()
            ])->fragmentIf(
                $request->hasHeader('HX-Request'),
                'notification-list'
            );
        }

        return back();
    }

    public function clear(Request $request)
    {
        auth()->user()->notifications()->delete();

        return view('notifications.index', [
            'notifications' => collect()
        ])->fragment('notification-list');
    }
}

Template structure:

<!-- notifications/index.blade.php -->
<div class="container">
    @fragment('notification-list')
        <div class="notification-wrapper">
            @forelse($notifications as $notification)
                <div class="alert alert-">
                    
                    <span class="timestamp">
                        
                    </span>
                </div>
            @empty
                <p>No notifications</p>
            @endforelse
        </div>
    @endfragment
</div>

Paul Knopp, KPMG US CEO, writing in an op-ed on WSJ: According to a United Nations estimate, 230 languages went extinct between 1950 and 2010. If my profession doesn’t act, the language of business — accounting — could vanish too. The number of students who took the exam to become certified public accountants in 2022 hit a 17-year low. From 2020 to 2022, bachelor’s degrees in accounting dropped 7.8% after steady declines since 2018. While the shortage isn’t yet an issue for the country’s largest firms, it’s beginning to affect our economy and capital markets. In the first half of 2024, nearly 600 U.S.-listed companies reported material weaknesses related to personnel. S&P Global analysts last year warned that many municipalities were at risk of having their credit ratings downgraded or withdrawn due to delayed financial disclosures. Our profession must remove hurdles to learning the accounting language while preserving quality. In October, KPMG became the first large accounting firm to advocate developing alternate paths to CPA licensing. We want pathways that emphasize experience, not academic credits, after college. Most people today must earn 30 credits after their bachelor’s degrees — the so-called 150-hour rule — work under a licensed CPA for a year, and pass the CPA exam to become licensed. Research by the Center for Audit Quality finds that the 150-hour rule is among the top reasons people don’t pursue CPA licensure. A December 2023 study found that the requirement causes a 26% drop in interest among minorities. There is a consensus for change, but we can’t waste time. Many state CPA societies are working on legislation to create an alternative path to licensure. State boards of accountancy should replace the extra academic requirement with more on-the-job experience. A person who is licensed in one state should be able to practice in another even if reforms create different licensing requirements.
