Tea at Trianon: President Trump Reveals America's Voting Systems Completely Corrupt

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

President Trump Reveals America's Voting Systems Completely Corrupt

From L. Todd Wood at CDM:

In a primetime speech from the East Room of the White House on Thursday evening, President Donald Trump issued stark warnings about the integrity of U.S. elections, declaring that "all machines are dishonest and vulnerable" and outlining what he described as systemic corruption threatening American democracy.

The address, focused on election security ahead of the November midterms, featured the president referencing newly declassified intelligence reports now available on WhiteHouse.gov. Trump stated these documents confirm extensive vulnerabilities in the nation's voting infrastructure.

"All machines are dishonest and vulnerable," Trump told the national audience. He argued that voting systems across the country have been compromised, exposing them to manipulation and undermining public trust in electoral outcomes.

The president pointed to voter registrations as corrupt nationwide, claiming inflated and inaccurate rolls have enabled ineligible voting. He similarly described mail-in ballots as "vulnerable and corrupt," citing risks of fraud, improper handling, and lack of verification as major concerns that demand immediate reform.

Trump directly accused actors inside the U.S. government and media of participating in a coverup, alleging elements of the so-called "deep state" downplayed or suppressed evidence of these issues during his first term and the 2020 election cycle. He vowed that "urgent action will be taken" to address these threats, including enhanced federal oversight and support for legislative measures like the SAVE America Act. (Read more.)
