Team Trump Should Do More Vetting Before Jumping On The Burgum Bandwagon

Published

on

I haven’t seen anyone asking serious questions about North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Instead, those in charge of vetting Donald Trump’s potential vice presidential pick seem to be relying on voters’ impressions of an affable Midwest guy. But some North Dakotans who know better can’t stand the thought of Bill Gates’ friend anywhere near the White House.

To be fair, Burgum, a top surrogate for Trump, has a super cool self-made-man story. Chimney sweep, bet the farm and won, worked his way up and became friends with his boss at Microsoft, sold his company for $1.1 billion and stayed on to help things along. 

The problem is with the vetting. 

It would be nice to have confidence that the vetting went beyond mere Wiki searches and phone calls to people who have been employed by the guy. 

He seems folksy. Genuine. He wore jeans to his inauguration and emceed the event himself like a Ted Talk. 

Burgum’s Record During Covid

But why doesn’t anyone ask how he really did in his state during Covid? South Dakota and Florida governors’ performances were certainly pored over, but Burgum gets a pass.

He financed and promoted a tracking app for North Dakotans with Covid. One month after the Covid panic hit the state, Burgum announced a partnership with the North Dakota Department of Health and an in-state developer known for creating the Bison Tracker app. He repeatedly pushed the people of his state to use Care19, an app that “more efficiently and effectively” identified people who might have been in contact with others who had tested positive.

I doubt President Trump would be thrilled by these surveillance efforts.

The Media Made Sure This Election Was Never Going To Be Free Or Fair

Published

on

It’s truly awe-inspiring to watch the news media berate Republicans, down to the very end, over the “free and fair” election we’re most certainly not about to have. Everyone who’s honest knows this wasn’t fair. The media made sure from the beginning that it never would be.

I’m curious as to how they expect this country to have a normal election ever again. “Normal” has nothing to do with Donald Trump referring to “the enemy within,” his rightful broadside against Liz Cheney as a cowardly warmonger, or any other fake controversy the media created to assist in their campaign to elect Kamala Harris. Those are deceptions propagated for the purpose of ignoring real scandals, incompetencies, and negligence permitted by the Kamala-Biden administration.

I’m talking about an election like those in the good old days where one side didn’t use government and corporate power to censor, imprison, and nearly murder its opponents. We know which side did all of that this time around, and yet CNN, The New York Times, and all the rest have glided along, only stopping to ask Republicans if they’ll accept a Kamala victory without question or otherwise brazenly lie about things that are demonstrably true.

Our corrupt media swear the only personal investment they have in this election is ensuring it will be “fair” and consequently end with a peaceful transfer of power, concepts they have worked all along to erode and undermine with not a sliver of regret.

They care about fairness the same way

Exclusive: Texas, Georgia Election Data Shatters Democrats’ Voter ID Lies

Published

on

It’s no secret that Democrats lie about commonsense election safeguards — especially voter ID laws.

While supported by the vast majority of Americans, these requirements, leftists baselessly argue, are evil because they suppress voters’ ability to cast ballots in any given election. In 2021, for example, Kamala Harris attempted to justify her opposition to such laws by outlandishly claiming voters — specifically those living in rural areas — have no way of making photocopies of their ID cards.

“I don’t think that we should underestimate what that [compromise on voter ID laws] could mean,” Harris said. “Because in some people’s mind, that means you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove who you are. Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don’t — there’s no Kinkos, there’s no OfficeMax near them.” 

While it’s unclear what century the vice president believes we’re living in, Democrats’ insinuation that voters are too stupid to know how to acquire an acceptable form of ID to vote is not only insulting; it’s completely unsupported by the facts.

In a new report obtained by The Federalist, the Honest Elections Project (HEP) demonstrates how voter data from recent elections in Texas and Georgia disproves the left’s phony narrative that requiring eligible electors to provide ID when voting by mail “suppresses” their ability to participate in the electoral process.

“As the use of VBM [vote by mail] increases,

NBC Forced To Give Trump Airtime After Violating FCC Rules With Harris SNL Spot

Published

on

NBC News was forced to give former President Donald Trump airtime on Sunday after the outlet violated Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules by giving Vice President Kamala Harris a spot on Saturday Night Live (SNL).

The roughly 60-second Trump ad came Sunday toward the end of NBC’s broadcast of NASCAR’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Trump, donning a “Make America Great Again” hat, highlighted the failed economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration, the recent disastrous jobs report, and warned a “depression” was looming.

“We have to straighten out our country, we have to close our borders, we have to lower our taxes, we have to get rid of inflation,” Trump said as he stood in front of several American flags. “And we’re going to do it. Just remember, Kamala and her friends broke it — I’ll fix it.”

But the seemingly last-minute ad slot provided to Trump doesn’t compare to the blatant election interference NBC News engaged in on Saturday when it provided Harris with a very pro-Kamala 90-second time slot.

SNL opened by making a mockery of Trump and vice presidential hopeful J.D. Vance before Maya Rudolph — playing Harris — began shilling for the Democrat ticket. Nearly six and a half minutes into the obvious Harris ad, Harris herself appears to give words of wisdom to the fake Harris.

“I’m just here to remind you, you got this, because you can do something your opponent cannot do — you can open doors,” Harris says to Rudolph, before Rudolph
