Injustice for $11

I just discovered that Amazon is offering many forms of Injustice.  The regular pristine hardcover version has mostly hovered for the last 16 months at around 18 dollars.  There are kindle, CD and Audible versions for sale too.  But I just noticed that Amazon is also selling a discount hardcover version of Injustice for only 11 bucks.

It says: “Bargain books are new but could include a small mark from the publisher and an Amazon.com price sticker identifying them as such.”

Having five versions of the book, of course, fouls up my sales tracker widgets down on the lower left hand side of this page. I only have the most expensive hardback version tracking.  Not surprisingly the sales of the $11 hardback version are significantly higher right now at Amazon.  But there is no way to aggregate all of the sales data into one widget ranking.  So I’ll probably just try to add a discounted version widget and ignore the other three.

The point is, the book can be had now for $11 if you don’t mind a few nicks, cuts and scrapes.

Senator Cruz on Holder’s politicization of DOJ

“When the president talks about voting, he is focused on partisan advantage for the Democratic Party,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told CNSNews.com. “His Justice Department tragically has been the most partisan Justice Department this country has seen. They have repeatedly fought common sense voter integrity policies like voter ID that serve, as the U.S. Supreme Court has said, to protect and ensure the integrity of our democratic system.

Living Large in Chicago: $752,715.80

National Review: “The ten-page Information concerning Jackson alleges that, with the help of his wife (who is listed as Co-Conspirator 1), he fraudulently obtained money and filed false campaign expenditure reports with the Federal Election Commission and the House of Representatives. There were direct expenditures from the campaign for personal expenses of $57,792.83 and the use of campaign credit cards for another $582,772.58. Another $112,150.39 in campaign funds were channeled to Co-Conspirator 1 and the assistant treasurer of his campaign for “transactions that personally benefitted” both Jackson and his wife.”

Weekly Standard Cover Story on DOJ Voting Section and Civil Rights Division


Weekly Standard: ” What is interesting about Freeman’s boast isn’t just that a career civil servant considered himself entitled to indulge in, and encourage others to indulge in, some public and highly partisan incivility​—​helping to give Obama’s second inauguration quite a different tone from that of his fellow Democrat John F. Kennedy, who had declared in his 1961 Inaugural Address, “We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom.” It’s that Freeman, a 2007 graduate of Yale Law School who started working for the Justice Department in 2010, mirrors in his professional interests two of the political and ideological preoccupations of his ultimate boss, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.,

. . . It is believed by some observers that the entire South Carolina lawsuit was gratuitous; that the Voting Rights section had chosen to ignore an internal memo (which Justice has refused to release) urging preclearance of the South Carolina statute, which gave state voters a generous range of five sources of acceptable photos plus the affidavit alternative. In 2005 the Justice Department had precleared a photo-ID law in Georgia that was nearly identical to South Carolina’s. But Holder’s Civil Rights chief Perez, in a 2011 letter to South Carolina’s government, insisted that the Voting Rights Act would be violated in that state because 10 percent of South Carolina’s nonwhite voters lacked photo-identification, in contrast to 8.4 percent of white voters.“

“Election Commission to suggest permanent public financing for Supreme Court elections”

The State Election Commission appeared to finalize plans to propose
legislation that would make permanent the public financing pilot program
used by now-Supreme Court Justice Allen Loughry during his 2012
campaign.…Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, a member of the SEC, said she was
disappointed the pilot program did not have a more positive outcome.  “However, the court has given guidance in addition to declaring the
current pilot project to be constitutionally flawed,” she said after the
ruling. “I hope the Legislature will now see the importance of
protecting the integrity of our judicial system and will take action to
implement public financing for future judicial elections.”

Senator Sessions on fixing long lines

At CNSNews, “There may have been long lines in some places, but for most places in
the country, I think people get to vote in a reasonable time. It’s usually the local officials who maybe
didn’t put enough poll workers at the machines in a given spot, and
they can adjust that. It wouldn’t bother me that some group of people
looked at the problem. But to have the federal government dictate how
to handle elections is contrary to our history.”
