Lots of guys have owned the world, at various times and in various places, yet that ownership was not only ephemeral, but largely unnoticed by the presumptive subjects of the owner, be it Caesar or, laughably, Putin. Vladimir Putin appears larger than he is because he is fortunate to be compared to pygmies. In my own lifetime I have seen three such owners of the world, Hitler, Stalin and Mao, beside whom Putin is a cartoon character, wrestling bears and causing tigers to tiptoe softly around him. Does Putin have Hillary’s emails? Of course he does, and so do the Israelis and Iranians and Chinese and North Koreans and precocious schoolboys. Is Putin trying to get Trump elected? To even consider such a question is to accept the panicky Democrat talking points as even plausible. If anyone hacks into the computerized election results to steal the election it won’t be Putin, it will be the Democrats, who have a long and storied history, dating to JFK, of stealing elections. They are good at it, and I suspect that the missing voters who didn’t vote for Romney in 2012 actually did vote, but had their votes erased electronically. Paranoid? Damn right. But as the man said, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you. Josef Stalin said the people who cast the votes decide nothing; the people who count the votes decide everything. No method of voting is safe from fraud, including paper ballots, but paper ballots at least have the potential to be more honest than every other method. Electronic voting machines are much in use, and much hacked, the votes manipulated to suit the needs of the hackers. The best thing about voting machines that send the voting data to a central server, according to a Democrat friend, is that the votes are there to be counted any way you want them counted, so easy it is to break into the servers and manipulate the totals. He winked and said, “But of course we would never do such a sneaky, underhanded thing.”

The Dems come out attacking
The guy they want sent packing
The guy that Putin’s backing
Because they know the score
Adept at vote hijacking
In ballot boxes packing
In recent years it’s hacking
That wins the race for sure
The server locks they’re cracking
They’ve ducks lined up and quacking
Pub totals they’re unstacking
And placed in the Dem store
The RNC is wracking
Their brains at the shellacking
And cry as they’re unpacking
Their victory once more
