Things That Never Happen - So Say Those In The Know

Things That Never Happen - So Say Those In The Know

A song created with the Digital Staff used by EDJE Music that attempts to recognize the typical Democrat political talking point that becomes not true as time and evidence pop-up and call out the claim as false. After all, there is no such thing as election tampering and fraud in a citizen vote in elections within the confines of these United States of America ... that is, until we all look behind the curtain.

Just within the last week, we were treated to two news update speeches surrounding issues involved with Election Integrity. The first speech on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, from the Governor of New Jersey highlighted a recent administrative error in her state that inadvertently allowed approximately 400 noncitizens to be registered or participate in voting processes [The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin finds in their database 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey]. 

Governor Mikie Sherrill addressed the matter directly (all the while, blaming Trump), framing it as an isolated "software glitch" mistake requiring immediate correction through enhanced verification protocols, while emphasizing New Jersey's longstanding record of secure elections under prior administrations. Critics and supporters alike noted the timing, as it revived broader national debates just as midterm preparations intensified.

The second address came one day later from President Donald Trump, who delivered a primetime update focused on election security vulnerabilities. He presented declassified materials alleging foreign interference risks - particularly from China - and pointed to issues like voter roll maintenance, mail-in ballot handling, and noncitizen registrations as persistent threats that "never happen" until they surface in audits or isolated cases. Election officials from both parties pushed back, stressing that documented fraud remains exceedingly rare and that safeguards like those in New Jersey have historically held. Yet the speeches together underscored a recurring pattern: procedural lapses or intelligence revelations that fuel skepticism, even as overall turnout and system resilience have improved in many jurisdictions.

In the end, these moments reinforce that election integrity is not a settled abstraction but an ongoing operational challenge. Claims of widespread compromise often outpace verifiable widespread incidents, yet even small errors - like the New Jersey case - erode public confidence when amplified. States continue refining voter ID rules, roll purges, and cybersecurity measures amid partisan tensions. True security lies in transparent processes, bipartisan oversight, and relentless focus on verifiable accuracy rather than narratives that treat anomalies as inevitabilities. The things that "never happen" keep reminding everyone why vigilance, not complacency, defines a functioning democracy.

The Things That Never Happen

LYRICS

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

From broadcast mail-out ballots, to machines connected to the internet ...

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

 "The things that never happen just happened again"

From software glitch non-citizen voter registration, to printed mail-in ballots from China into Zuckerbuck Boxes ... 

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

Let the single-party continue to count ballots, from almost any unverified source, throughout the middle of the night, and beyond for weeks ...

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

"The things that never happen just happened again"

UPDATE: 

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin has identified over 250,000 potential non-citizens illegally registered to vote in just 4 U.S. states. Only Americans should be electing American leaders.

IVANPAH: Broken Mirrors Of A Failed Future

IVANPAH: Broken Mirrors Of A Failed Future

In the heart of the California/Nevada Mojave Desert stands the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating Station, once hailed as a shining symbol of America’s renewable energy future. A curious explorer ventures deep inside the 392-megawatt solar thermal plant - opened in 2014 with a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee - only to discover a haunting scene of decay.  

Hundreds, of the thousands, of heliostats lie broken, misaligned, or abandoned, while the three massive towers still glow like artificial suns. What was meant to be a futuristic marvel of concentrated solar power has become an expensive, inefficient relic, technologically outpaced by cheaper photovoltaic solar and battery storage. Yet the plant remains operational, kept alive by long-term contracts and a desperate, overstressed California grid strained by surging electricity demand from data centers and artificial intelligence.

Through stark on-the-ground footage and unflinching narration, the YouTube film by Wasted By Wednesday reveals Ivanpah not merely as a troubled power plant, but as a powerful metaphor for civilizational collapse: a society that cannot afford to maintain its grand machines, yet cannot afford to shut them down. Birds incinerated by concentrated solar flux, a skeleton crew, and fields of decaying mirrors paint a dystopian picture where technology marches forward even as the infrastructure supporting it crumbles.  

Part cautionary tale, part visual elegy, this Wasteland Spotlight exposes the gap between green energy promises and harsh reality, showing how even “clean” monuments can become symbols of overpromise, under-maintenance, and the growing hunger of an electrified, AI-driven world.

dystopian desert folk / dark Americana – think a slow, reverb-heavy acoustic guitar with distant echoing percussion like wind over broken mirrors, subtle synth hums mimicking turbine drones, and a lone, weary vocal delivery in the vein of Nick Cave meets Calexico.

IVANPAH: Glowing Towers, Broken Mirrors

(Music Link)

LYRICS

**Chorus** (to be sung after each stanza):

*Glowing towers, broken mirrors,

Feeding ghosts that never tire.

Sort of working, sort of dying,

In the wasteland we conspire.*

**Stanza 1**

Out where the Mojave swallows promises whole,

Three white suns burn on a skeleton soul.

Heliostats twisted like fingers in pain,

Chasing the light that they’ll never contain.

Once hailed as salvation, now rust in the heat,

A monument bleeding where futures retreat.

**Chorus** (to be sung after each stanza):

*Glowing towers, broken mirrors,

Feeding ghosts that never tire.

Sort of working, sort of dying,

In the wasteland we conspire.*

**Stanza 2**

Birds fall like streamers through invisible fire,

While servers drink deep from the funeral pyre.

A-I dragons are hoarding the sparks we ignite,

Keeping the old beast alive through the night.

We pay for the glow with our children’s tomorrow,

A machine that still twitches, refusing to die.

**Chorus** (to be sung after each stanza):

*Glowing towers, broken mirrors,

Feeding ghosts that never tire.

Sort of working, sort of dying,

In the wasteland we conspire.*

**Stanza 3**

Civilization limps in its elegant decay,

Complexity cracking in the merciless day.

We build what we cannot afford to maintain,

Then beg it to save us from digital rain.

Under the flux where the last dreams are fried,

The wasteland keeps singing: sort of alive.

**Final Chorus** (slower, almost whispered):

*Glowing towers, broken mirrors,

Feeding ghosts that never tire.

Sort of working, sort of dying…

In the wasteland… we conspire.*

Obviously, we, at MAXINE, love the tools derived via Artificial Intelligence.

However, with a California political leadership bent on chasing out proven solutions (San Onofre, Chevron, etc.) while cleaving onto rough experimental prototypes as complete and whole solutions (similar in comparison with the labelling COVID-19 experimental biological solutions as vaccines), the continuation of this mirror array effort is simply a boneheaded political power application in the face of an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality based in common sense.
