There Is No Upside To Trump’s Persecution

Published

on

Republicans trying to turn it into an unexpected win for Donald Trump that he’s been criminally indicted really need to come to terms with reality. This is neither a win for the former president nor for his supporters, who view it as a moment to rally against Democrat corruption.

But Republican support for Trump has gone up since the indictment!

Yeah, a poll does say that, and it means nothing other than that Trump is more likely to be the party’s nominee. And then what? Are swing voters going to be more likely to support a major party candidate who is actively defending himself in a criminal proceeding? Are white women going to be more or less likely to cast their lot with Joe Biden or with the candidate who was recently processed for his fingerprints and mugshot?

It’s not fair. Duh. We know that. It has never been about fairness. It’s about who calls the shots. Democrats and the permanent bureaucracy are demonstrating time and time again that they do.

This isn’t going to “backfire.” If Trump is convicted, then regardless of the penalty’s severity, Democrats will have proven that they can swerve on every precedent, toss out every one of their supposedly sacred “norms,” and get a good night’s sleep all the same. If he’s acquitted, they will have lost precisely nothing. And then they’ll try again.

Anyone who looks at this and thinks, “It’s only going to motivate Trump’s supporters,” hasn’t been paying attention to the

Oklahoma Removes 450,000 Ineligible Voters From Rolls, Including Over 5,000 Felons

Published

on

Oklahoma election officials have removed more than 450,000 ineligible voters from the state’s rolls ahead of November’s election.

“Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted,” said Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in a press release

State election officials have removed 453,000 total ineligible voters since 2021, Stitt’s office announced Wednesday. 

As part of “routine voter list maintenance,” the state has removed 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, 97,065 dead voters, and 143,682 voters who moved out of state, according to the release. During address verification, officials also canceled 194,962 inactive voters.

We all need an ID to fly, buy alcohol, cash a check, etc.

There’s no reason a state shouldn’t have strict voter ID laws. It’s just common sense.

In Oklahoma, our laws require proof of identity for every voter, regardless of whether you’re voting early, absentee, or in-person.

— Governor Kevin Stitt (@GovStitt) September 18, 2024

Stitt’s office has been working with legislators, the state election board, and the secretary of state on voter list maintenance. Officials are using technology like artificial intelligence to “protect our elections,” said Secretary of State Josh Cockroft in the release.

“We’ve aggressively pursued policies to ensure voting is secure and accurate,” Cockroft said. “Every eligible citizen will have their vote counted and their voice heard.”

Oklahoma allows “only eligible voters” to take part in elections, according to the release. The state’s June primaries had a “100% voter verification match,” KOSU

SCOTUS Threats Suggest Democrats’ Attacks On The Court Encourage Politically Motivated Terrorism

Published

on

A 76-year-old Alaskan man is in custody after he allegedly threatened to assault, kidnap, lynch, torture, murder, and assassinate six of the nine Supreme Court justices. The names of the justices targeted, however, were withheld by the Department of Justice — likely because they confirm Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric against the conservative members of the court is working.

The DOJ announced on Thursday that Panos Anastasiou faces nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce after he sent more than 465 messages pledging harm against justices via “a public website the court maintained.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland acknowledged in the Thursday press release that the communications were rooted in Anastasiou’s desire to “retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.” Yet, neither he nor the Department of Justice memo announcing the arrest identified exactly which of the nine SCOTUS members and their family members were terrorized.

In fact, the DOJ went out of its way in its 11-page September 18 indictment of Anastasiou to disguise which high bench presiders were in danger for upholding their constitutional duties by reducing the justices to numbers “1-6.” Six of the nine sitting SCOTUS justices were nominated to the high bench by Republican presidents.

The document accusing the Alaskan of several felonies, however, shows Anastasiou’s threats were well timed not only with a Democrat-manufactured ethics scandal, but also decisions secured specifically by the court’s conservative majority.

In May, as corporate media ramped up Democrat-manufactured

NFL Get-Out-The-Vote Initiative Partners With Democrat Activist Groups

Published

on

Are you ready for some football?! How about some leftist-led get-out-the-vote (GOTV) games? 

Well, you get both with the NFL Votes campaign. 

The all-powerful National Football League says the “League-wide, nonpartisan initiative supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans.” Launched in 2020 as a joint effort between the NFL and NFL Players Association, NFL Votes “focuses on three key components of the electoral process: voter education, voter registration, and voter activation,” according to the league’s website.

Sounds noble enough.

But if you’re scoring along at home, the NFL’s teammates include some of the most left-wing activist organizations on the election field today. Starting on the campaign’s roster is Rock the Vote, Voto Latino, and I am a voter

Rock the Leftists

Rock the Vote has been around since 1990, when music executives partnered with MTV and celebrities on the “Censorship is Un-American” campaign after foul-mouthed rap acts such as N.W.A and 2 Live Crew brought out an indignant wave of speech silencers.

It was a simpler time, when MTV actually played music videos. 

Thrilled by its accomplishment of activating “millions of young people” to turn out to the polls, the leftist nonprofit has parlayed its GOTV successes into a multitude of leftist causes over its 30-plus years in operation — even as targeting the young adult vote remained central to its efforts.

“The group claims to be nonpartisan, but has produced videos throughout the years using celebrities who largely endorse a
