<p>Among those regularly responding to my commentaries are two or three who have created a mythical Larry Horist as a straw man to their most critical comments – attributing to his traits and opinions that I do not necessarily possess. ; It is sort of an alternative world political doppelganger.</p>



<p>The readers prop up that other Larry Horist as an evil extreme right-winger … a Trump cultist … an unhappy loser … a senile old man. ; Apparently, the role of the duplicate Larry Horist is being played out by left-wing Democrats for the purpose of damaging the true Republican and conservative causes. ; (What villainy!!)</p>



<p>My Identity is being stolen to undermine the real me as a conservative political commentator – and rather nice guy. ; (Oh, the calamity!!!) ; While my doppelganger is cast as a racist … an angry and bitter person, the real Larry Horist is super tolerant and has never hated a person in his life – and certainly not any category of folks. ; While the doppelganger is dour and dark, the real me is a most happy fellow with a well-established sense of humor. ; While the doppelganger me is argumentative and a bit pugnacious, the real Larry Horist is &#8230; uh … okay, I will give you that one. ; ;</p>



<p>How do I know that the mythical doppelganger Larry Horist is working for the Democrats? ; Weeelll …</p>



<p>It seems the alternative world Larry Horist is in cahoots with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi – and other Democrat candidates and organizations. ; (Such treachery!!!) ; I know this because I often get emails from the doppelganger Larry Horist to me, the real Larry Horist, soliciting funds for radical Democrat causes and Pelosi’s own pack. ;</p>



<p>That is right. ; Sometimes I am in the “From” box with Pelosi (as you see in the image atop this commentary). ; Sometimes I get solicitation emails just from me to me. ; ;</p>



<p>I have tried to get Pelosi and others to stop using my name to solicit money for left-wing causes. ; It seems like that should be illegal. It could undermine my reputation as a dedicated conservative. ; Folks might think I have become another Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Michael Steele, or any of those other one-time conservative Republicans who crossed over to be false flaggers. ; </p>



<p>But they are not the victims of some errant doppelganger. ; They are real apostates.</p>



<p>Since I thought that such political mischief may be a violation of federal election laws, I sent a complaint letter to the Federal Election Commission when these emails started to appear. ; I sent similar letters to the Department of Justice and the Florida Attorney General – thinking that such misrepresentation would violate both federal and state laws. ; I must be wrong since they never responded. ; (Oh, the disappointment!!!)</p>



<p>I contacted my Internet Provider Service to see if they knew how I could get Nancy &; Company to remove my name as a solicitor of Democrat donations. ; I was advised that it happens all the time and there is not much that can be done about it.</p>



<p>Of course, I replied to the email solicitations asking the real senders to cease and desist – to remove my name from their email list.  ; That did not work either. ; Perhaps they did not respond because I did not send money. ; The emails from the alternative me keep coming. ; In fact, they have been coming for several years. ; ;</p>



<p>Apparently, it is something that a person has to live with. ; The fix is far too complicated for such a minor issue – too small to get the attention of those who could take real action. ; It is like all those phony PayPal, IRS, and Walmart emails that warn of money being taken from my bank account unless I call a number. ; I never do. ; (And woe to those who do.)</p>



<p>If nothing more, Pelosi and the Democrats do keep me informed of their fundraising issues and techniques – and occasionally, that inspires a commentary pushing back on their lies and propaganda. ; In the meantime, if you get a communication from the Larry Horist doppelganger, do not make a contribution. LOL</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>
