Were you among the more than a billion-plus people who watched the 2014 Super Bowl? If so, like multi-millions of viewers, you might have been disappointed afterward to learn of the cheating that occurred. The Seattle Seahawks swamped the Denver Broncos, seemingly, on play after play, as if they knew exactly what the Broncos were going to do with each snap of the football.
As it turned out, the Seahawks did know what the Broncos were going to do. As was revealed on talk shows a few days later by some of the Seahawks players themselves, they had stolen the signs of the Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. More often than not, they knew in advance what play the Broncos were going to run and hence stayed ahead of the Broncos on one play after another.
The net result was that fans around the world were treated to a less than stellar game. Some called it the worst game they had witnessed in their Super Bowl viewing lives.
Theft on an Enormous Level
So it is in American politics, especially as practiced by the Obama-Biden administration. After the Democrats were swamped at the voting booth in the 2010 midterm elections, timeline evidence reveals that the IRS, on orders from the highest level of government, instigated tactics that should make each of us shiver.
Under the daily direction of Lois Lerner, with marching orders from above, the IRS began a comprehensive program of targeting groups that held contrary positions to that of the Obama/Biden administration: The IRS initiated a program of deliberate harassment and punishment of political opponents. Lerner is a fellow alumni of Bloomfield High School in Connecticut. She graduated one year ahead of me and today lives in comfortable retirement supported in part by her government pension, funded by our taxdollars!
Unprecedented Impact
In a research paper, Andreas Madestam of Stockholm University, Daniel Shoag and David Yanagizawa-Drott, both at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Stan Veuger at the American Enterprise Institute studied the Tea Party impact on voter turnout in the 2010 midterm elections. Extracting information from the Census Bureau, the Federal Election Commission, news reporting, and other sources, they compared geographic areas with significant levels of Tea Party activity to nearly similar geographic areas with little or no Tea Party activity.
The researchers discovered the Tea Party’s impact was enormous, and in House races, brought the GOP between 3 and 6 million additional votes, even though, combined, all Republican House candidates attained less than 45 million votes. Thus, the GOP's newly energized base proved to be instrumental to many landslide victories in key elections. Democratic strategists took note.
The Tea Party’s unprecedented success came as a result of highly involved activists nationwide, who devoted countless hours leading up to the 2010 elections rallying, donating, volunteering, and organizing, all centered upon section 501(c)4s of IRS code.
The data that the researchers uncovered illustrated that if the Tea Party advocacy and impact had continued at the 2009 and 2010 pace, they would have bolstered the Republican vote in 2012 by 5.0 million to 8.5 million, this compared to Barack Obama's margin of victory of 5 million votes.
Badgered on Cue
Harassed and delayed by the IRS, the Tea Party came to a standstill. State by state, no one realized that what was happening to them was occurring on a grand scale. Rather than delivering an estimated 5 to 8 million GOP voters in the 2012 election, the Tea Party became a non-player. Barack Obama won the popular vote by an 11 to 10 ratio, but easily won the electoral vote.
The Democrats emulated the Tea Party “playbook” and made for a blasé election season, where the outcome was already known to the handful of insiders.
Such politicizing of the IRS, and other agencies, was a stunning and direct attack on democracy. Attempts to tilt elections are nothing new in American politics, but perhaps were never executed on so massive a scale with such precision. Related tactics likely continued through 2020, when Democrat election tampering and voter fraud likely reached historic heights.
Bogus Democrat Winners Galore
If Republicans had politicized and weaponized the IRS in the ways that the Obama administration had done, and deliberately targeted, harassed, and punished liberal advocacy groups, the Left would go berserk. The New York Times, to this day, would be featuring the scandal on the front page.
Yet, for eight years and counting, the typical American, let alone Republican, doesn't give Tea Party harassment much thought. Given what we know about 2012, is it reasonable to conclude that numerous national, state, and local elections in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 went to bogus winners, and more of the same – much more of the same – is in the offing.
The Republican “leadership” couldn’t give two sh*ts about the criminality of the Biden cabal, so long as they get their share of cocktail party invites and tee times.
Do you think I am gonna watch the Super Bowel?
They are running an ad lauding Colin Kaperprick, paid for by Ben and Jerry.
I will make sure not to watch until these over paid ungrateful, unpatriotic a$$hat players and coaches, who are now parasites on the American public, many of them millionaires thanks to the support of Patriots and the military, are canned and we get back to America First in Pro Football.
There are millions who will not watch. What you will be seeeing is a failed game being used as a propaganda platform by Fascists.
Join the Resistance. Boycott the Superbowel!
I remember that game. I have seen several games like this. I am a Cowboys fan and our OC used the same hand signals he used in college. A player or coach on the opposing team figured it out and they used it to know what play was coming ahead of time. Did not say anything till after the game.
Look at the patriots dynasty. The NFL covered up years of tapes they found where the head coach was having spies tape the opposing teams practices.
I think sports has been rigged at times. Blown calls by the refs all the time to keep games close or swing momentum.
What the dems did was use all the tools right in our faces to steal the election. Blatant. And ignoring the evidence and having it ignored by judges under there power.
The fact that the party delivered to us a perfectly dreadful toad of a candidate only aided the left...
Air Force plans to do a flyover with bombers, wonder if the fans in the stands will be as scared as Cortez was on the 6th..
“What the dems did was use all the tools right in our faces to steal the election. Blatant. And ignoring the evidence and having it ignored by judges under there power.”
There always were and always will be evildoers. The court system and its people let us down.
establishment republicans may lose their “establishment” soon. One could hope. I much prefer an honest enemy over a hypocrite that stabs you in the back
They let us down at every level. I kept thinking that there would be one judge in all this that was going to take this on.
Feb. 19th. Lin and Sydney to argue before the Supreme Court.

As a former (mediocre) college football player I like the Super Bowl weekend because they run great movies as alternatives to the SB coverage.
With the evidence they have I wonder what in the world the SCOTUS could say after seeing this. Heck the video of GA speaks for itself. Heard there was a video coming out from Michigan also but haven’t seen it yet. I think gateway was supposed to release it.
Will anything happen if the score at the beginning of half time is KC 14-10, but when the teams return to the field after taking their break the score is Tampa Bay 24-7? Will every sports writer who tweets about it be banned as a conspiricy theorist?
I dispute this “billion plus viewers” number that’s always thrown out for the Super Bowl. Maybe this is substantiated somewhere, but even if every one of almost 330 million people in the US are watching (which certainly isn’t the case), that still means over 670 million are watching in the rest of the world spread over every time zone and where the NFL has limited popularity. It doesn’t add up for me.
ANOTHER one I'm grateful for is GENESIS
That’s exactly right. To take this a step further, the Establishment Never Trump “Republicans” have the best possible outcome for themselves. They keep their cushy do nothing jobs, retain all of the perks and benefits that go with their jobs, while having to accept absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY or ACCOUNTABILITY for what happens to the rest of this Republic. After all, THEY “DO NOT HAVE THE VOTES TO DO ANYTHING”.
I have no doubts at all that many of these Upper Echelon Career Politicians actually benefited from the rigging of the 2020 General Election and probably the 2018 Midterms as well. That would certainly explain their 100% avoidance of fully examining the mountains of evidence of Voter Fraud, Ballot Tampering and outright Fraud that we all witnessed.
they didn’t just steal the hand-signals: i’m convinced seattle stole a denver USB stick that contained the entire broncos playbook, both defensive and offensive ...
Agree. Boycott all the people selling distraction from really important life goals. Includes most modern forms of entertainment.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers still hold the record for the longest losing streak; "In 1976 and 1977, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their first 26 games. From 1983-1986, the Buccaneers set an NFL record with 14 consecutive losing seasons."
Tom Brady [42], a definite candidate for GOAT QB, chose the Bucs to finish his 20+ years in the NFL. He epitomizes the last minute heroics and the HARD WORK to stay at the top, especially when there is no downside to retiring!
Then came the LEFT Attack on our sports. The NFL Owners denied Rush Limbaugh a place at the table, The Washington DC team loses its name, Crybaby Colin gets to kneel and so many join him! Colin even gets Nike to 'face' him but don't mention who makes those shoes!
So I stand and say KMA to NFL and not watching you till you change! NOT EVEN Super Bowl LV in RJ Stadium with TBB going for TB's SECOND Championship (NHL Lightning) with THIRD Championship team (MLB Rays)!
I believe that. And if it’s close then the refs can always nudge it with a bad call. I see it all the time. Just really bad blatant calls.
