Who really killed Johnny Ringo?
Outlaw Johnny Ringo at 20; 1871 Jannie Ringo (Johnny’s kid sister) at 26; 1882
The previously unsolved demise of Johnny Ringo (a FakeNews pictorial exclusive)
Investigative reporting reveals it was Jannie who shot Johnny dead outside Tombstone on July 14, 1882 — not Dock Holliday as is often claimed!
In-depth FakeNews research disclosed Jannie was still upset with Johnnie for scolding her, at the tender age of 13, and kicking her 7-month-old puppy as he left his mother and three siblings behind in San Jose, CA back in 1869.
As for the puppy, yep, it died a painful death 3 days after Johnny departed 🙁
Sooo, she shot him dead while he was reclining against a huge Sycamore tree less than a mile outside Tombstone!
Regretfully, his horse, securely tied to a nearby sapling, most likely died of thirst before Ringo’s lifeless body was discovered days after he “went missing”.

A FakeNews Pictorial Account of Lincoln’s Assassination; the Aftermath
The Andrew Johnson administration insisted John Wilkes Booth was tracked down and killed inside a blazing Virginia barn that belonged to Richard Garrett 12 days after Lincoln’s assassination.
Yet a Booth co-conspirator, David Herold, captured at the scene, said it was James William Boyd, who was shot and killed; Boyd was a Confederate military officer, born in Hopkinsville, Kentucky who mysteriously went missing after the alleged killing of “Booth”.
Interestingly, the US War Department did not pay anyone the “Posted” $100,000.00 reward nor any part thereof, for the assassin’s capture and demise.
After the Garrett barn fiasco, Booth’s expectant lover, Miss Kate M Scott, (Civil War nurse, newspaper editor, author & social reformer), who was reportedly holding several important papers for Booth, said he came to get the papers 6 months after his alleged killing.
Then nothing, until thirty-eight years later, a newspaper account of David E. George’s death was reported in the “Enid Daily Wave”, on January 13th, 1903 (Enid is the ninth-largest city in the state of Oklahoma):
“A man who claimed to have been John Wilkes Booth, infamous assassin of Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, died here today. The man, David E. George, made the deathbed confession saying that he wanted to unburden his soul of guilt and clear the name of Mary Surratt, hanged for conspiracy in the assassination of the President”.
Because Booth aka “David E George” bequeathed $15,000.00 to Miss Kate Scott via his Will. A special investigation, strongly promoted by then President Theodore Roosevelt, (26th U.S. President, 1901-1905) resulted in Kate receiving her inheritance.
Evidence, Booth did not die at the Garrett farm, but in faraway Enid, Oklahoma.

A FakeNews Pictorial account regarding the 21st US President’s place of birth
Charles Chester Alan Arthur became the 21st US President (aka, Chester A Arthur) following the assassination of newly elected President James A Garfield in September of 1881.
Ti’s true, even though records show ‘Alan’ was born in Dunham Flats, Canada, during March of 1828 while his mother was visiting her parents! Yes, his mother was a US Citizen but in those days a child born outside the US was granted US Citizenship only if the father was a US Citizen － he was not － he was Irish born!
Charles ‘Abell’ Arthur, Alan’s younger brother, was born more than a year after him in the community of Northfield, Vermont. Woefully, ‘Abell’ perished in the nearby community of Burlington, Vermont nearly three months after his birth of perhaps the first documented case of “Sudden Infant Death Syndrome” (SIDS), aka: “crib-death”.
Historical records show that in 1845 when Chester ‘Alan’ Arthur entered Union College he claimed to be 16 years of age and as being born on October 5, 1829, in Northfield, Vermont. “Coincidentally” the same date and place as his deceased younger brother ‘Abell’.
You see, Canada was still a British Colony in March of 1828－Charles Chester Alan Arthur’s actual date of Birth!
Sooo, Charles Chester ‘Alan’ Arthur, the 21st US President, was a British Citizen!

The Golden Age of Ancient Greece is The Donald’s Goal for the USA 🙂
A FakeNews Exposé—what it was really like:
’Twas a time when no labor was required and the weather was always agreeable.
It was a time of pleasant surroundings; abundance was the norm and people occupied all their time in satisfying pursuits.
It’s even said that originally, throughout the Golden Age, birds and four-footed beasts could talk with a human voice, though with a slight drawl and a tendency to talk out-of-turn.
Humans, critters and demons lived together with the gods in peace.
Surprisingly, demons of this age were good. In fact, they helped folks and beasts alike from time-to-time.
All were ruled by King Cronus, who governed the entire cosmos throughout the Golden Age.
You may recall that Cronus married his sister Rhea and sired the first generation of the Olympian gods: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.
Sadly, Cronus harbored a great fear that that one of his children would steal his throne away. Sooo, against the wishes of his incestuous wife Rhea, shortly after the birth of each of his first 5 children he actually swallowed each one whole followed by a large gulp of wine.
Either the wine or the kids must have caused him to go blind because when the 6th child was born (Zeus) his wife, Rhea, somehow tricked him into swallowing a smallish stone which she convinced him was their new baby boy Zeus! Rhea then secretly raised Zeus without the knowledge of Cronus!
Wouldn’t you know it, when Zeus become a young adult he promptly went about overthrowing his father and became ruler of the gods — thereby ending the Golden Age!

A FakeNews Account of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Results
An Extended Editorial by Sir TG Fuqua
During most of 2024’s Presidential Election all eyes were on 7 “swing” states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Trump is believed to have swept all 7 Swing States in 2024’s Election, even though the Final New York Times/Siena poll (and several other prominent polls) prior to election day projected a very different outcome! And too, with only hours before poll closures in Pennsylvania on Election Day, then former President Donald Trump suggested on his social media platform that there was “talk about massive cheating in Philadelphia”. Though, as is typical of “the Donald”, he nor his political advisors would provide evidence of such and further, no mention of which side was doing the cheating was made. (Perhaps, just perhaps, ‘the Donald’ assumed the Dem’s were ‘cheating’ because he knew he, more-or-less, already had!)
Keep in mind that most political polls for the 2024 presidential election foresaw a close race in the electoral college, and a resounding popular-vote victory for Democrat Kamala Harris. Yet, Trump apparently won the electoral college 312 to 226, and the popular vote by more than three million votes.
The final New York Times/Siena poll in Pennsylvania showed the state as a tie (48%-48%) in its final poll before the election.
Arizona: The final Times/Siena poll showed Trump leading 49%-45%
Georgia: Harris was ahead 48%-47% in the Times/Siena poll.
North Carolina: Harris was ahead 48%-46% in the Times/Siena poll.
Michigan: They were tied at 47% in the New York Times/Siena poll.
Wisconsin: Harris was ahead 49%-47% per the Times/Siena poll.
Nevada: The Times/Siena poll placed Harris ahead 49%-46%.
Even the strongest Trump supporters will agree that throughout 2024’s Presidential campaign, Trump consistently used incendiary rhetoric – making crass jokes and threatening vengeance against his political opponents. A campaign tactic which intensified dramatically during the last week of Trump’s campaign effort. Take note that this news reporter of 25+ years has great difficulty accepting that the mysterious undecided segment of U.S. voters were swayed to favor Trump as a result.
It kind of makes me wonder if the final vote tally was indeed properly counted! An unwanted stray thought that is without doubt a result of such rhetoric by “the Donald” himself during the past four years or so, in-fact right up to the late afternoon of 2024’s election day!
Alternatively, one must wonder if the President’s personality trait to win at any cost was supported or supplemented by the many political tricks Roger Stone is noted for. Add Elon Mush as an eager financial contributor and suddenly the bitterness directed at the Democratic Administration that spread from the mountains of North Carolina to Georgia, to Pennsylvania and beyond in early October is explained.
You see, North Carolina was severely impacted by Hurricane Helene during late September of 2024, primarily in the western Appalachian region of the state. Helene’s major impacts – flooding and landslides – made it one of the deadliest US storms of the 21st century, with more than 200 confirmed deaths in North Carolina and Tennessee alone. Though President Bidden declared a Major Disaster and FEMA designated 39 NC counties for federal disaster assistance, a large portion of the affected citizenry were falsely informed that FEMA assistance was limited to a one-time token $750.00 relief check because, the story told was that “American disaster relief funds had been shifted to emigrant relief”! As a result, many angry folks simply refused to bother with FEMA. But they did share the perceived though unfounded “hardship” with their family and friends in faraway places.
Another fabrication that was never completely squelched, involved Trump’s baseless claim about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. He angrily voiced the ridiculous claim during the Presidential Debate with VP-Harris. Yes, most of us recognized the folly in his accusation however, lots of others did not. And who do you suppose was blamed? Yep, President Biden and VP-Harris by extension. Some folks wondered why a portion of that stolen FEMA Relief money wasn’t used to provide proper food for the “illegal Haitian’s”!
Yet another wild story claims the Assassination attempt of Trump in Pennsylvanian was actually staged by Roger Stone — including the raised fist and fake “stage” blood; but the story notes that the waving American flag was intended to be directly over Trump’s head.
The intent was an effort to draw sympathy for Trump while another story line claims shrapnel from the gunshot has somehow infected his inner ear and will require life threatening microsurgery in the months ahead.

A FakeNews Exposé:
What do you suppose “The Donald” meant near the end of his March 4th 2025 Speech to the US Congress with this remark: “the US will acquire Greenland one way or the other”
The long-held belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin secretly holds evidence of non-discretionary behavior by The Donald may be true; yet Trump’s obvious admiration of Putin is clearly driven by kindred personalities.
Both are practiced liars, both are great pretenders, both are first rate bullies, both are riddled with greed and the pair lack empathy toward other people in general.
In other words: Putin strives to be a modern Russian Tsar like Peter the First (aka Peter the Great) and Trump wants to be just like Putin!
Trump has now revealed his true nature by shamelessly informing the American public of his intent to “acquire” Greenland, the Panama Canal and Canada! Though he failed to mention Canada during the aforementioned speech, he has of recent date “teased” the public with the idea of “allowing” Canada to join the US as the 51st state.
The Donald’s “Greedy Button” has been activated as Greenland is considered to be very rich in natural resources, ranging from rare earth elements to graphite, copper, nickel, zinc, gold, and potentially large reserves of oil and natural gas. Most of these resources remain largely untapped due to the harsh climate and environmental concerns—the latter of which Trump is sure to ignore.
Canada is already a global leader in potash production and ranks high in diamonds, gold, and uranium production and of course Canada is an important contributor to the worlds natural resource market with its oil and natural gas reserves.
Conversely, the Panama Canal only handles 5% of the worlds shipping traffic, most of which is outgoing traffic from the eastern US. The largest portion of that 5% that’s inbound to the US, wouldn’t you know it, is from China, the very nation The Donald falsely claims is “running” the Canal.
But then the Canal managers, even now, allows the US military a huge advantage of only having to maintain a Naval presence in only one of the two oceans joined by the canal—the single reason the Panama Canal was built in the first place. Sorry folks, that doesn’t sound much like something China would allow if Trump’s claim were true; do you think?
Turns out, CK Hutchison, a company founded by Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing, a company not owned by the Chinese government has been operating two Ports somewhat near the Canal’s entrances / exits one on the Pacific Ocean side and one on the Atlantic Ocean side for 20+ years.
Regardless, on Tuesday, March 4th 2025, hours before The Donald’s speech which did not start until after 9:00pm on the very same day, CK Hutchison entered a joint Sales Agreement with BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset management companies, to sell all of their interest in the aforementioned Ports to Terminal Investment Limited, a Swiss owned company among others.
Possibly a result of the visit to Panama in February by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio who reportedly demanded that Panama make, quote: “immediate changes” to what he and The Donald call the “influence and control” of China over the Canal! Sooo, perhaps, The Donald’s “wanting” of the Panama Canal has passed 🙂
Still, the question remains, will President Putin allow The Donald to annex Canada and Greenland after ‘blackmailing’ Ukraine into giving the US half of their natural resources?
But then, Trump insists that God himself saved him from certain death so he could steal Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal for the US, so he (the Donald) could, in turn, Make America Great Again!

Jim Crow’s last name must start with an R
A FakeNews Editorial
Content for this Post was partially gleaned from a report by The San Diego Voice and Viewpoint at: https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/ and an online NPR Report at: https://www.npr.org/2022/09/27/1125179062/voting-explainer-in-many-states-theres-a-process-to-fix-an-error-with-your-ballo
If you’re a bit disturbed by the previous two posts you should know that election obstruction academics and scholars have determined voter suppression has been revived in America. This fact is evidenced by today’s (2025) Congressional majority and the White-house occupant’s.
It is now clear a Jim Crow-era strategy blocked more than 4.5 million people from voting in the 2024 Presidential Election; a direct result of Voter Purges, Mail-in Ballot Rejections, Vigilante Voter Challenges and Voter Ballot Drop Box Restrictions. When calculating only the Purged Voters, the math works out to have been a 2.3% suppression factor; don’t sound like much but remember, even the polls forecast an extremely close election.
It’s worth noting that when all measurable voting restrictions are combined the suppression factor is more like 4.6% (4.596). However, for the sake maintaining a conservative estimation here, only Purged Voters by Postcards have been used in calculating the Voter Suppression factor on the 2024 election results.
During 2024 an avalanche of not so new we’re-not-going-to-let-you-vote laws passed in almost every red state, the number of citizens Jim Crow’d out of their vote soared into the millions!
Now ask yourself, does your Election Board utilize the the “Poison Postcard Purge”? That’s when registered voters are mailed postcards by state elections officials. Every Voter who fails to sign and return the card, which looks a lot like subpar junk mail, is purged or removed from the Voter Registration Database. Targeted voters generally include voters of color, college students and “city-bred” urban voters.
The Poison Postcard response rate is often close to zero in many areas. For example, the high end in 2024 was Arizona, which was an exception to the norm, with a response rate reported by the US Election Assistance Commission or EAC of one in ten postcards returned. But, in Georgia, the vote-saving response was barely above 1% (1.014).
By the way, the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is an independent agency of the United States Government. The Commission serves as a national clearinghouse and provides resource and information regarding the administration of US elections.
Anyway, regardless of the methodology the 2024 Republican Party utilized in acquiring a majority vote count; based upon the results of folks that were allowed to vote, the victory will always stand in America! In-other-words, no matter how tainted it was, the 2024 election is now history and a lesson well learned. Harris will always be 44 Electoral votes short of winning the Presidency in 2024!
The Victors need not fear an uprising nor a violent coup de taunt but, they should take note of the age old adage: ‘Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’.
Still, according to EAC data, before the day of the 2024 election, 4,776,706 registrants had been removed from Voter Registers nationwide because they failed to return the “junk-mail” postcard they reportedly received. Yet, “Close Call” examples of wins in key swing states was the norm as is highlighted below:
Pennsylvania; the Poison Postcards wiped out 360,132 voters—near three times Trump’s victory margin—Harris lost by 120,266 votes x 3 = 360,798. (Electoral Votes: 19)
In Wisconsin; 166,433 voters were Purged by “Poison Postcards.” Harris lost Wisconsin by 29,397 votes. (Electoral Votes: 10)
In North Carolina; from the start of 2023 through August 2024, county boards of elections in North Carolina removed more than 747,000 “ineligible” registration records from the state’s voter rolls. Harris lost North Carolina by 183,048 votes. (Electoral Votes: 16)
Reckon how many total “close Call” Electoral Votes are displayed here? . . . . . . 16 +10 +19 = 45
Meanwhile in Virginia; six days before Election Day, the US Supreme Court allowed Virginia to continue its purge of more than 1,600 individuals from the state’s voter rolls. Still, Harris won the popular vote by 260,310 votes thereby wining the states 13 Electoral Votes.
Conclusion: Today our job as real Americans—Republican, Democrat and Independent alike—is to:
End Voter Purges by encouraging previously Purged voters to Re-register!
Strive to stop unreasonable Voter Ballot Dropbox Restrictions. You see, secure Drop Boxes eliminate the need for return postage because they allow voters to return their ballot directly to election officials via the Drop Box instead of using the postal service, not to mention the obvious time saving factor.
Ban Vigilante Challenges that live near the intersection of Voter Suppression and Election Subversion; it’s the latest threat to free and fair elections. These purges often rely on outdated information or shady tactics that end by depriving legal rights to legitimate voters. Worse, efforts are underway in Georgina to allow private individuals to challenge voter registrations of people they have never met and do not know!
Prohibit frivolous Ballot Rejections. It is not unusual for hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots to be thrown out and left uncounted. In 2020, for example, more than 560,000 ballots were rejected. Experts say such rejections are largely the result of minor voter errors such as a middle initial absent from the ballot or lacking sufficient US Postage. As a result, near half of US states now have a process in-place to help voters fix their mail-in ballots if they do make a mistake. It’s often called ‘Ballot Curing’ — sooo, make sure your Election Board is among this group.
And finally, make a honest effort to convenience two or more registered voters that the “Jim Crow” approach to fair and free elections will never be Okay in America!
Oh, just so you know how widespread the “Jim Crow” effort has been during the last few years, have a look-see at the map displayed below:
