This may be the most transparent audit in US history. The
auditors selected by the Arizona Senate are providing video access to
the world of their audit activities in real-time.
The auditors are prepared and ready to begin their audit of Maricopa
County’s 2020 Election Results. This has been a long process but this
day has finally come. Today the machines and ballots were moved to the
Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds where they will be
audited.
They also set up nine cameras that will be available the entire time
the audit takes place. For the next three or so weeks if you wish to
see what is going on, you will be able to log on to AZAudit.org and watch the audit while it is happening.
This site will be showing the activities in the coliseum non-stop for the next few weeks.
We are praying that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors doesn’t
step in again and attempt to prevent the audit from happening. To date
and since the election, they have done all they could to not make this
day happen. They have even sued the Senate to stop this audit.
Also, last week we saw Big Tech prevent messages from being shared for volunteers to help with this exercise.
We’ve seen the media continue to berate those who demanded this audit
saying it was not necessary while discounting the millions of Americans
who believe the 2020 election was stolen from President Trump:
We have seen lawyers connected to the top of the Democrat Party
interject and threaten the auditors for performing the work they are
hired to do:
And General Flynn has warned that BLM and Antifa may show up and try to stop the audit:
The Senate and those Americans who wanted this audit to take
place have taken so much heat to get to this point and they should be
commended and given medals. It’s not over. Tomorrow it begins.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill on Wednesday that
protects drivers who hit unhinged protesters blocking streets and
highways.
This says everything about the modern-day left that you have to pass legislation to keep them out of the highways.
WTH?
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) on Wednesday signed a bill that protect
drivers who unintentionally injure or kill protesters while attempting
to flee their demonstration.
“We are sending a message today in Oklahoma that rioters who threaten
law abiding citizens’ safety will not be tolerated. I remain
unequivocally committed to protecting every Oklahoman’s First Amendment
right to peacefully protest as well as their right to feel safe in their
community,” Stitt said, according to local ABC News station KAKE.
The measure also increases the penalties for activists who obstruct a public street during a protest
Demonstrators chanting "Black Lives Matter" stormed the Oklahoma Capitol
on Wednesday, forcing the state House of Representatives into lockdown,
in order to protest several Republican-backed bills, including one that
provides legal protections to motorists fleeing riots.
More
than two dozen protesters filled the gallery on the fifth floor while
the Oklahoma House in the chamber below was in session. Video showed
demonstrators chanting, "Stand united against all hate," and "We will
use our voices to stand against corruption, to fight hate, to defend
Black and Brown lives." The disturbance interrupted the session for
several minutes.
The
demonstration was organized against what activists describe as
anti-protest and anti-transgender bills advancing through the
GOP-controlled state Senate and House. One bill increases penalties for
protesters blocking traffic and protects drivers who unintentionally
strike drivers with their cars. Another aims to protect law enforcement
and their families from "doxxing."

One man
stood nose-to-nose with a lawmaker who met him on the gallery in what
appeared to be a heated verbal confrontation until another female
protester pulled him away. "You’re a disgrace, you’re an embarrassment
to the whole f---ing nation," the male protesters shouted as he left.
WARNING: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
"You are traitors, insurrectionists, seditionists," another woman shouted as protesters trickled out of the gallery.
Oklahoma
Highway Patrol escorted protesters from the building, and a drug dog
was brought into the chamber to make sure "nothing was left behind,"
KOCO reporter Dillon Richards tweeted.
House
Bill 1674, co-authored by Republican state Rep. Kevin West and his GOP
colleague state Sen. Rob Standridge, creates a misdemeanor for
unlawfully obstructing traffic while participating in a riot. It also
adds criminal and civil liability protections "for motor vehicle
operators who unintentionally cause injury or death to an individual
participating in a riot under certain circumstances," the Oklahoma Legislature said.
The
bill also "provides that organizations found to be involved with
individuals participating in riots or unlawful assemblies shall be
punished by a fine that is ten times the amount of the fine authorized
by the appropriate provision of the bill," according to the proposed
legislation’s fiscal analysis.
"This is an important protection for citizens who are just trying to get out of a bad situation," West said, according to The Oklahoman.
"When fleeing an unlawful riot, they should not face threat of
prosecution for trying to protect themselves, their families or their
property."
A
second bill the governor signed into law Wednesday makes doxxing law
enforcement or other public officials by publishing their personal
information online a crime.
House Bill 1643,
co-sponsored by Republican state Sen. David Bullard and Republican
state Rep. Justin Humphrey, makes it a misdemeanor offense punishable by
up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine for an individual with the
"intent to threaten, intimidate or harass," to use an "electronic
communication device to knowingly publish, post or otherwise make
publicly available personally identifiable information of a peace
officer or public official" and result "in reasonable fear of death or
serious bodily injury."
The punishment would be doubled upon the second conviction of the same offense, the bill says.
ACLU
Oklahoma has argued the bill is too broad and anyone who posts videos
or photos of law enforcement would be expected to blur out names on
badges, KFOR reported.
Protesters
also took exception to a third piece of Republican-backed legislation
that would prohibit anyone of the "male sex" from playing on athletic
teams designated for "females, women or girls."
The
Oklahoma House of Representatives on Tuesday approved the so-called
"Save Women’s Sports Act," which co-authors state Rep. Toni Hasenbeck
and state Sen. Micheal Bergstrom -- both Republicans -- have argued will
protect female athletes from missing opportunities to fairly compete
for medals, podium sports, athletic scholarships and other public
recognition.
Both lawmakers who drafted Senate Bill 2
have stressed the competitive advantage biological men have over
biological women, and Bergstrom said he was open to having a
conversation about how to allow transgender athletes to participate in
sports in other ways, the Stigler News-Sentinel reported.

Biba Adams
Stephen Nicholas Broderick, who’d reportedly been on the run since Sunday, was carrying a loaded gun.
Stephen Nicholas Broderick,
41, a former Texas sheriff’s deputy accused of fatally shooting his
former wife, their adopted daughter and a third person has been arrested
after an overnight manhunt.
In a statement on Facebook, police in
Manor, Texas wrote: “On Monday, April 19, 2021, at approximately 6:53
am the Travis County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a suspicious
person call in the 12300 block of Old Kimbro Rd. Two callers reported to
dispatch that a male subject fitting the description of Stephen
Broderick was walking southbound on Old Kimbro Rd wearing a black shirt
and dark jeans.”

“Manor
Police Department Officers arrived on scene and immediately conducted a
high-risk stop on the subject who was identified as Broderick.
Broderick complied with the officer’s orders and was immediately taken
into custody at 7:05 am. A loaded pistol was taken from Broderick’s
waistband.”
Broderick had been on the run for nearly 20 hours after Amanda Broderick, Alyssa Broderick and young Alyssa’s boyfriend, Willie Simmons III, were found dead at the Arboretum Oaks Apartments in northwest Austin, Texas on Sunday morning.
Alyssa
Broderick was a teenager who had previously attended Elgin High School;
a statement from the school’s superintendent confirmed that she and
Simmons had attended the school.
Both teens were athletes. Simmons had recently been recruited to play football for the University of North Texas.
“The Elgin ISD community grieves the loss of these two young, promising souls” Superintendent Dr. Jodi Duron
wrote. “In response to this tragedy, the district will have counselors
and trained professionals available via in-person and/or virtually to
assist students, staff and families in this time of grief.”
It
had been previously reported that Stephen Broderick had resigned from
the Travis County Sheriff’s Office after being arrested and charged with
the sexual assault of a child last June. He had been released on bond,
and his wife had filed for a protective order against him and a divorce.
Amanda Broderick had requested sole custody of Alyssa and the couple’s nine-year-old son.
