The Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, revealed that the federal government has been subsidizing the left-wing outlet Politico — to the tune of $8.2 million.

Politico was acquired in 2021 by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that the federal government was “essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the taxpayer’s dime.”

“The DOGE is working on cancelling those payments now,” she continued. “This is a government effort to ensure that we are going line by line when it comes to the federal government’s books. And this President and his team are making decisions across the board on [whether or not these] receipts serve the interests of the American people.”

 

The outlet received at least $44,000 from USAID last year as well, though it was also given millions from various federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services — which provided $1.37 million.

In addition, $1.35 million was paid out by the Department of the Interior, according to the USASPENDING website.

Meanwhile, social media users on Politico‘s official Instagram page and on X responded to the news.

“Not just a waste, but they’ve essentially been getting paid by Democrats to feed the American people endless lies, misinformation and propaganda. If you’re wondering why the media always gives the Biden admin a pass, deflected, ran cover for and loves democrats, this is why,” said one user on X.

 

 

According to PoliticoAP News has been accused of raking in U.S. taxpayer money as well. However, this has not yet been confirmed.

Trump and Musk have recently vowed to cut funds from USAID, a $40 billion agency that has been accused of money laundering, working in tandem with Democrat officials, their allies, and other connected organizations.

Much of the U.S. federal funds were spent on Politico Pro, which costs around $10,000 per year, offering “non-partisan, real-time intelligence personalized to their area of policy focus.”

“POLITICO Pro is an all-inclusive platform that empowers public policy professionals with the tools, news, analysis, and other resources needed to succeed in an increasingly complex political world. Our features include exclusive and unbiased policy news coverage in real-time, in-depth policy analysis and a suite of tracking tools to help you keep tabs on policy developments as they happen…” the website states.

Musk quickly responded to the report, declaring that the U.S. government will no longer be supplying the outlet with federal funding any longer.

“This is obviously a huge waste of taxpayer money!” Musk wrote in an X post.

Politico has notably been an anti-Trump outlet throughout his time in office and now, publishing themes related to how the Hunter Biden laptop scandal had all the “hallmarks” of “Russian disinformation,” conveniently siding with the Biden administration. The outlet also recently posted an infographic on its Instagram page titled “Could Trump seize a third term?" – Actually, it’s not out of the question.”

Musk’s latest call to end the funding of Politico is another piece of a larger effort to root out corruption and waste from federal spending, while suggesting that the IRS is next on the list to receive an audit.

Trump Calls for 1,500,000 Gazans to Be Moved to Egypt and Jordan

A proposal that deserves serious consideration.

[Want even more content from FPM? Sign up for FP+ to unlock exclusive series, virtual town-halls with our authors, and more—now for just $3.99/month. Click here to sign up.]

Trump has described Gaza as a “real mess” and a “demolition site.” He wants two-thirds of the population in Gaza — 1.5 million out of a total of 2.2 million people — to be removed and resettled in Jordan and Egypt.The proposal is startling, but deserves serious consideration. More on his proposal can be found here: “Trump: Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza,” Jerusalem Post, January 

US President Donald Trump said that Jordan and Egypt should take in more Palestinians from Gaza, when he spoke to reporters on Saturday.

Trump said he spoke about the matter with Jordan’s King Abdullah on the phone earlier in the day and told him that the Gaza Strip is currently a “real mess.”

He said that he told King Abdullah during the call, “I’d love for you [Jordan] to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza strip right now, and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people.”

King Abdullah relies heavily on American aid, which in recent years has made Jordan the third-highest recipient of such aid, after Israel and Egypt (and excluding the extraordinary sums given to Ukraine, which are likely to soon end). It would be difficult for him to refuse Trump’s request; he might have to agree to taking in about a quarter of that number, about 375,000, with Egypt, a much larger country, taking in the rest — 1,125,000.

With only 700,000 people remaining in Gaza after 1.5 million were transferred to Jordan and Egypt, the reduced numbers will make it much harder for Hamas, as a consequence of this transfer, to continue to be a threat to Israel. And with Gaza’s population so greatly reduced, the IDF’s task of locating and killing Hamas terrorists will be made much easier. Is it any wonder that Smotrich and Ben Gvir welcomed Trump’s proposal?

Trump has, in his first week in office, put a hold on all foreign aid, except for military aid to Israel and Egypt. He should make clear to General El-Sisi that he expects to continue to exempt Egypt from the general withholding of aid as long as Egypt shows a willingness to accept Gazans for resettlement. Jordan, like all recipients of American foreign aid, except Israel and Egypt, has just had its aid frozen; Trump could also make clear to King Abdullah that restoring aid to Jordan will depend on his willingness to take in a few hundred thousand Gazans.

The proposal could be presented to the world as what it, in fact, is meant to be: a humanitarian enterprise, helping Gazans out of their current misery, though it would bring geopolitical benefits to Israel as well.

The humanitarian aspect would be clear: Gazans who are now living in tents in what is a vast “demolition site” and hardly able to move through the piles of rubble that we see every night on the news, would be moved to the safety and much greater comfort of homes newly built for them in Egypt and Jordan, which would be paid for, in Trump’s calculations, not by the Americans, but by the fabulously rich Arab states of the Gulf — Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Would Jordan and Egypt be seen to reject helping their Palestinian brothers? And could the two richest of the Arab states, that each possess trillion-dollar sovereign wealth funds, refuse to pay for the building of those 1.5 million prefabricated homes that could be quickly erected? And to sweeten the pot, and overcome any reluctance to take part, Trump could perhaps increase his economic — but not military — aid to both Jordan and Egypt.

Here's how Trump put his proposal:

“You’re talking about a million and a half people, and we just cleaned out that whole thing,” Trump said. “I don’t know, something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything’s demolished and people are dying there, so I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location where I think they could maybe live in peace for a change.”

This is one of those Trump surprises that at first glance seem so crazy, but then, the more you think about them, the more sense they make.

Biden Frees Men Who Scammed $5 Billion With Over 1 Million Victims

The single greatest mass jailbreak of corrupt scammers in history.

[Want even more content from FPM? Sign up for FPM+ to unlock exclusive series, virtual town-halls with our authors, and more—now for just $3.99/month. Click here to sign up.]

Some people lost their life savings while others lost their dreams in a $900 million fraud that was described as one of the largest Ponzi schemes in history and left behind 1 million victims.

Investors in 'Zeek' had taken out loans and mortgages on their homes expecting to get a 125% return on their investment. Victims included the parents of a leukemia patient who were trying to pay for their daughter’s hospital visits. And while some of the money was recovered, people in towns like Lexington, North Carolina, where ZeekRewards had its office, are still suffering.  Zeek’s victims were working class people who didn’t understand what they were getting into.

ZTE CEO Paul Burks, who made millions from the scheme, was convicted of wire and mail fraud and sentenced to 14 years in prison in the first year of the Trump administration. Burks (pictured above) filed multiple appeals, claiming that the virus poses a risk to his health (he contracted a mild case) that were rejected by the court. And that was that, until Biden commuted his sentence.

The Quist CEO was one of a number of major fraudsters who were liberated by Biden in his rash of pardons and commutations. While Biden had long claimed that “no one is above the law”, beginning with his corrupt pardon of his son, the outgoing president has set out to demonstrate that the law is worthless for some of the worst convicted crooks in the country.

Biden commuted the sentence of James Fry, a hedge fund manager convicted in the Petters Group $1.9 billion Ponzi scheme described as “one of the largest and most complex Ponzi schemes in U.S. history” and was accused of having “raised hundreds of millions of dollars from investors” while working alongside a convicted criminal. He also commuted the sentence of Timothy McGinn, one half of a pair of brokers accused of defrauding 900 investors of $136 million, who had been sentenced to 15 years in prison. Victims included a father of two wounded veterans who had been putting aside money for their expenses.

Former CEO Eric Bloom, who got 14 years in prison after being accused of committing the “biggest fraud in Chicago court history” in what was described as a $665 million fraud scheme, also got a pass from Biden. So did former CEO Gregory J. Podlucky, who ran a bottled water company and had been accused of a $685 million pyramid fraud loan scheme in which the money was spent on jewels and toy trains, and had been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Gregory McKnight, who ran a $72 million Ponzi scheme that targeted at least 3,000 investors in every state in the country, had been sentenced to 15 years in prison before Biden stepped in.

Marc Dreier, who had been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $740 million Ponzi scheme with losses to investors estimated at $400 million, also got a helping hand from the White House.

Biden seemed to have a soft spot for Ponzi fraudsters, and his commutations included Nevin Shapiro, sentenced to 20 years in prison for a $930 million Ponzi scheme that made headlines because of its Miami connection; Brian Callahan, sentenced to 12 years in prison for a $96 million Ponzi scheme that caused some to lose their life savings; and Joseph Reshevsky, sentenced to 22 years in prison for a $255 million Ponzi scheme that defrauded 1,200 investors.

Other 'smaller time’ fraudsters freed by Biden included Gary McDuff, sentenced to 25 years, for an $11 million investment fraud scheme, Gordon Driver, sentenced to 12 years in prison for a $17 Ponzi scheme with around 150 victims, Christopher Swartz who had been sentenced to 12 years in prison after defrauding over 150 investors out of $21 million, and Andrew Mackey, sentenced to 27 years in prison for a $12 million Ponzi scheme with 150 victims.

Biden also intervened on behalf of Henry Ramer, sentenced to 13 years in prison for defrauding over 200 investors out of over $3 million, Rodney Phelps, who had been sentenced to 9 years in prison for defrauding victims out of $2.4 million in a Ponzi scheme, Leslie John Hamilton Jr who had been sentenced to 25 years in prison for ripping off over 400 investors of $14 million in a pyramid scheme, and James Turek, sentenced to 18 years in prison for defrauding 8,500 investors out of over 18 million.

Biden also extended his hand to fellow corrupt government officials including Rita Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, Illinois, who had embezzled over $53 million to fund her horse breeding business in what was described as “the largest theft of public funds in state history”, Cuyahoga County county commissioner and county Democratic Party chairman Jimmy Dimora who had been sentenced to 28 years in prison, and Judge Michael Conahan, who became notorious as the ‘kids-for-cash’ judge for a scheme that involved sending kids to prison in exchange for kickbacks. The judge’s actions have been blamed for at least one suicide.

After giving his son a blanket pardon that would potentially cover legal issues emerging from his tax problems, Biden chose to also intervene on behalf of Paul Daugerdas: a lawyer who had been sentenced to 15 years in prison for manufacturing $7 billion fake tax deductions in what was described as “the biggest tax fraud prosecution ever.”

Health care fraud was also a popular theme in Biden’s commutations including James Burkhart, a former CEO of the American Senior Communities nursing home chain who “abused his official position of trust to steal tax payer dollars intended to benefit this community’s sick, elderly and mentally challenged”,  Elaine Lovett, the owner of a medical billing company involved in a $26 Medicare fraud case, Millicent Traylor, accused of taking part in an $8.9 million Medicare fraud scheme and Babubhai Patel, who controlled 26 pharmacies in Detroit, and provided kickbacks to doctors to prescribe expensive drugs, and numerous other health care fraudsters as well.

As well as the more serious case of Dr. Meera Sachdeva, a former Mississippi oncologist who was accused of using expired and diluted chemotherapy medications and whose clinic reused needles, resulting in possible infections and deaths.

Considering the involvement of James Biden and Joe Biden’s own physician in the Americore scandal, that may be a prelude to pardons coming for Biden family members and associates.

While Biden is not the first president to pardon and commute sentences for fraudsters, both the dollar amounts and the number of victims in these cases are staggering. Due to complicated recovery processes it is difficult to estimate the total amount of losses for victims, but the total amount of money involved in these cases approaches $5 billion with over 1 million victims.

No president has ever left office bailing out individuals who did so much harm to so many.

Later investigations may determine whether, as with Bill Clinton’s Marc Rich pardon, there was a ‘pay-to-play’ element, but the sheer amount of wealth makes it unlikely that there wasn’t.

Bill Clinton’s legacy was forever scarred by the Marc Rich pardon. Biden’s legacy, already dripping with corruption, is now that of the most corrupt man to occupy the White House.

“No one is above the law,” Biden told us, before pardoning his son and executing a mass jailbreak of some of the worst financial scammers and fraudsters in the United States.

12,000,000 DEPORTED by a DEMOCRAT? Truth about the freakout over Trump’s deportation plan

Many Democratic politicians and media pundits are freaking out over Donald Trump's plan for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. But if they knew history - even recent history - they would have no reason to fear monger. Glenn heads to the chalkboard to reveal the shocking truth: The president who oversaw the biggest mass deportation operation in recent years - 12,000,000 people deported or voluntarily removed - was a DEMOCRAT.

Michigan Woman Awarded $12 Million After Being Fired for Refusing COVID Shot

Michigan Woman Awarded  Million After Being Fired for Refusing COVID Shot

A former Blue Cross Blue Shield employee was recently awarded $12 million by a federal jury in Detroit when she sued the insurance company for religious discrimination. Lisa Domski had worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield for almost 40 years when she was denied a religious exemption to the employee COVID-19 shot mandate.1 2

Although Domski informed her employer that her Catholic faith prevented her from complying with the vaccine mandate, Blue Cross Blue Shield never followed up with her or her priest to confirm her devout religious beliefs.3 The insurance company refused to grant her any accommodations as required under Title VII and fired her.

Shots Required for Employees Working from Home

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, protects employees from religious discrimination in the workplace. Employees who inform their employer that their sincerely held religious beliefs prevent them from complying with a mandatory work requirement are protected from discrimination and retaliation in the workplace under Title VII. Employers have an affirmative obligation to seriously consider the request, enter into good faith talks and offer appropriate accommodations.4

In this case, Domski, an IT specialist, worked remotely 75 percent of the time prior to 2020 and 100 percent of the time during the pandemic. Rather than allowing Domski to continue to work remotely 100 percent of the time, the insurance refused to provide her any accommodations for her religious beliefs and fired her.

Jon Marko, Domanski’s attorney, explained:

This was a woman who was working from home in her basement office who wasn’t a threat to anybody and had been completely fulfilling all of her job obligations for 38 years.5

Blue Cross Blue Shield denied any religious discrimination and questioned the sincerity of Domski’s religious beliefs. The jury awarded Domski $10 million in punitive damages together with $1.7 million in lost wages and $1 million in non-economic damages.6
Blue Cross Blue Shield’s statement in response to the extraordinary verdict read:

Throughout the pandemic, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, together with its employees, worked to promote the health and safety of our colleagues, stakeholders, and communities.7

Jon Marko said:

Our forefathers fought and died for the freedom for each American to practice his or her own religion. Neither the government nor a corporation has a right to force an individual to choose between his or her career and conscience. Lisa refused to renounce her faith and beliefs and was wrongfully terminated from the only job she had ever known. The jury’s verdict today shows BCBSM that religious discrimination has no place in America and affirms each person’s right to religious freedom.8

More Religious Discrimination Lawsuits to Follow for Blue Cross Blue Shield

Tanja Benton, another remote employee of Blue Cross Blue Shield, was also recently awarded $700,000 by a federal court in Tennessee after being fired by the insurance company for refusing to comply with their COVID shot mandate due to her religious beliefs. Jon Marko shared that he is representing 170 other plaintiffs in wrongful termination cases against Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.9

The cost of Pennsylvania’s Senate recount is expected to cost around $1 million in federal funds.  

Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said that statewide recounts are triggered if the votes are within a 0.5% margin. 

Senator Bob Casey (D-Pa.) and Senate-elect David McCormick (R-Pa.) were separated by 0.43% votes, with a maximum of 80,000 provisional and mail-in ballots still left to be counted.

According to the Department of State, as of 4 p.m. local time on November 14th, Casey received 48.53% of the vote with 3,359,086 votes, and McCormick had 48.90% with 3,385,115. 

Schmidt stated that the last recount in the state between McCormick and cardiothoracic surgeon Mehmet Oz, known on television as Dr. Oz, cost Pennsylvania taxpayers $1.053 million. 

In this case, about 7 million ballots will be subject to recount, and counties will begin counting on November 20th and must finish by November 26th at noon.  They also must report their data to Schmidt by November 27th at 12 p.m. 

During the recount, Schmidt said that counties will use “a different method or different equipment to tabulate the results” than they used in the initial tally to identify any potential issues. 

Schmidt also noted that the results of the recount will be published online on November 27th, the day before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the state website’s election returns page will be updated as counties update their unofficial vote tallies from the original count. These updates are separate from the recount.

Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Bryan Cutler slammed Casey for declining to waive the costly recount.

“Throughout his entire career, Sen. Casey has publicly called for the enforcement of the rule of law and the upholding of judicial norms,” said Cutler. “The facts and the law are clear: The election was free and fair; Dave McCormick is our new U.S. senator; a costly, statewide recount is unnecessary and duplicative; and Democrat-controlled counties are now openly defying the courts and the plain language of the election law to try and overturn a legal election result.”

Pennsylvania Judge Allows Musk’s $1M Voter Petition Giveaway To Continue

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - OCTOBER 20: SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk awarded Kristine Fishell with a $1 million check during the town hall at the Roxain Theater on October 20, 2024 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Musk has donated more than $75 million to America PAC, which he co-founded with fellow Silicon Valley venture capitalists and tech businessmen to support Republican presidential nominee, former U.S. President Donald Trump.

A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of allowing Elon Musk’s political action committee to continue giving out $1 million per day to registered swing state voters who signed the petition, pledging to support free speech and gun rights.

Ronald of Clarkston, Michigan received $1M for signing our petition to support the Constitution.

Every day until Election Day, one person who signs up will be selected to earn $1M as a spokesperson for America PAC.

SIGN: https://t.co/TMeyWUhbrH pic.twitter.com/akSJEd3IQz

District Attorney Larry Krasner (D-Pa.) sued to block the contest in Philadelphia on October 28th, arguing that Musk’s process of handing out money was a scam “designed to influence a national election.”

“This was all a political marketing masquerading as a lottery,” Krasner continued. “That’s what it is. A gift.”

Judge Angelo Foglietta ruled that the contest was not an “illegal lottery,” as America PAC's lawyers successfully argued that the funds were given to the best spokespeople within the MAGA movement.

“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” stated America PAC attorney Chris Gober. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

“There is no prize to be won, instead recipients must fulfill contractual obligations to serve as a spokesperson for the PAC,” Gober added during the hearing.

Krasner responded by showcasing Musk at an October Trump rally, telling rally-goers that the money would be “randomly” awarded, rather than deliberately picked.

“That doesn’t sound like a spokesperson contract,” Krasner added.

Musk has already doled out $16 million since the giveaway began on October 19th, with the final winner to be announced on Election Day.

The Pennsylvania ruling was a huge win for the Trump campaign in a critical swing state carrying 19 electoral votes, which certainly has the potential to decide the outcome of the election.

Musk’s giveaway falls under a gray area under election law, which prohibits paying individuals to register to vote, however, in order to get the funds, voters only have to sign the petition, rather than register to vote.

The U.S. Department of Justice previously warned Musk’s PAC that the scheme could potentially violate federal law, but federal prosecutors have yet to take any action.

America PAC lawyers also argued that the two remaining winners will be from individuals living in Arizona and Michigan, which would mean the Pennsylvania lawsuit wouldn’t have an affect on the ability to continue the giveaway in other states.

“The only people protected by Pennsylvania law are in Pennsylvania,” stated Richard Briffault, a Columbia Law School professor.

Millions Of America’s Gun Owners Are NOT Registered To Vote.

SEE: https://www.ammoland.com/2024/07/millions-of-americas-gun-owners-are-not-registered-to-vote-wtf: republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

The most important U.S. Presidential Election since the founding of our republic is just a few months away. This isn’t an exaggeration. It is a fact.

The outcome of this Election will determine whether we Americans secure our Nation as a Free Constitutional Republic as the Framers crafted it or we continue down the path Joe Biden and his owners behind the scenes have set for us:

AKA: the Deep State. A Rancid Socialist Dictatorship ruled by Marxist Cultists and Neoliberal Globalist Technocrats.

Yet millions of America’s gun owners are not registered to vote in the upcoming election to prevent this horror from manifesting.

millions of America’s gun owners are not registered to vote 2024 IMG Women for Gun Rights
Millions of America’s gun owners are not registered to vote. IMG Women for Gun Rights

This is surprising, shocking, and altogether unacceptable. Voting is a Sacred Right and a tremendously important responsibility. The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that ten million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This is not a small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.

In a recent article published on July 9, 2024, the New York Post had this to say:

“More than 10 million hunters and gun owners are not registered to vote in America, according to a new grassroots voter-registration group firing warning shots at the GOP Vote4America data show that if Republicans don’t address political apathy among their gun-owning base in key swing states, they’ll have far fewer voters in their arsenal to score victories this November. . . .

A breakdown of the data reveals a major shortfall in voter registration among gun owners in the states that will decide the 2024 election: 515,277 in Pennsylvania and around 370,000 each in Michigan and North Carolina. Georgia, Wisconsin, Missouri and Virginia all have more than half a million hunters and gun owners unregistered, and Arizona has the smallest shortfall at 133,000.

Audiences have not always responded positively to Vote4America’s voter-registration efforts. Adviser to the group Baker Leavitt told District of Conservation podcast host Gabriella Hoffman in a recent appearance that the most common response in its outreach to gun owners is the sentiment ‘My vote doesn’t count, the system is rigged.’

Despite the pessimism, even marginal wins could pay big dividends come November.

‘If we could convert 2% of all licensed hunters and get them to vote, GOP would win in a landslide,’ Leavitt told Hoffman.

Hoffman noted that ‘a lot of hunters and gun owners, they’re very animated on social media, they have a lot of opinions, but they don’t go out to vote." They talk a great deal, often about preserving your rights, doing this — hunting — but a lot of people don’t follow through with voting.’

Democratic politicians have leaned on influencers in recent years — and before that Hollywood celebrities — to push liberal messaging to their built-in audiences of loyal followers.

Vote4America is hoping to tap into that strategy on the conservative side by partnering with more niche influencers in the hunting, pro-Second Amendment, first-responders and veteran communities.

Stephen Aaron, another of the group’s advisers, he says when it comes to winning over disengaged gun owners, the mission is clear and simple.

‘Our goal is to make sure these people know that voting matters. The issues people worry about — attacks on personal freedoms, our crime problem, skyrocketing inflation — are all impacted by the people we put in office. This is an effort to help voters connect the issues impacting their daily lives to decisions made by elected officials so people understand their vote really does matter and they engage. It’s time to make America feel like home again. . . .’”

Well, we know that Joe Biden, for his part, isn’t averse to talking about his intention to ban millions of firearms from common use.

In an article published in the “Independent,”

“President Joe Biden called for AR-15 guns, the type used in the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, to be banned during a fired-up NAACP National Convention speech.

It's time to outlaw them. I did it once, and I will do it again’, Biden said during his speech on Tuesday (16 July).”

There is something decidedly perverse about how Joe Biden alluded to caring about Donald Trump’s health and well-being. Plainly, Biden used the assassination attempt as a fortuitous happenstance upon which to make another pitch for banning civilian possession of millions of firearms in common use—a principal policy objective of the Biden Administration and of Progressives and others that despise our Bill of Rights.

Biden’s speech was likely meant to serve a different purpose.

By directing attention to guns, Biden likely hoped to mask the utter failure of the Secret Service, under the leadership of the inept director, Kimberly Cheatle, a Biden appointee, to protect Donald Trump.

Trump survived the assassination attempt only due to Divine Intervention and not to any act of the Secret Service, before the fact, to neutralize the target.

After all, the shooter got off several shots, killing one Rally Attendee, seriously injuring two others, and hitting Trump too (within a few millimeters of killing him), before the Secret Service Counter Assault Team (CAT) got off a shot, killing the shooter.

Attention properly belongs to the Secret Service, not on this or that firearm the shooter used.

Trump cannot make America great again if he isn’t in Office.

Americans who cherish their fundamental rights, especially the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms to prevent Tyranny, MUST VOTE.

Trump says,

“We’re gonna turn our country around." We’re going to quite simply make America great again. But one thing I’ll say, and I say it as friends, we’ve gotta get gun owners to vote, because you know what, I don’t know what it is, perhaps it’s a form of rebellion, because you’re rebellious people, aren’t you? But — gun owners don’t vote.

What is that all about? I’ve heard that, I heard it a few weeks ago. That if gun owners voted, we would swamp them to levels that nobody’s ever seen before. I think you’re a rebellious bunch. But let’s be rebellious and vote this time, okay? If you go out and vote, I understand exactly why you don’t. But we have to win this election, it’s the most important election in the history of our country.”

Trump’s mild admonishment to gun owners is well-taken.

Sure, a lot of us Americans who cherish our most sacred right to armed self-defense do vote and have voted for Trump in the last two elections and will do so again in the upcoming election.

Freedom-loving people, fiercely independent and obdurately resistant to Tyranny, insistent on bearing arms to maintain their sovereignty over Government and over attempts to subjugate them, will not meekly surrender their arms.

The 2021 National Firearms Survey estimated that 81.4 million Americans owned firearms. Two years later, that number increased. “Estimates show that 82,880,000 people own at least one firearm in 2023.” See the article in “Ammo.com.”

Americans who cherish their fundamental rights, especially the Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms to prevent Tyranny, must vote, but why do so many Americans resist?

What accounts for the apathy among so many Americans who love their country and who cherish their sacred rights but who do not vote?

If one is reluctant to let his views be heard around the family kitchen table or among his co-workers at the office, they don’t need to speak their mind. What does that have to do with refraining from voting? When a person casts his ballot, that is a private affair. Nothing needs to be said to anyone. And voting is such an easy thing to do. There is no suffering in the act of casting one’s vote.

No other American has suffered the kind of incessant vicious, vile assaults like Donald Trump. He has accepted this because he truly loves his country. That cannot be reasonably denied.

For the four years he served his country as President, despite the barbs, the sabotage, the scathing attacks—and for the four years since—none of that has stopped. His enemies are many, powerful, and ruthless, and they constantly craft new ways to refine old ways to torment Trump.

The only thing that would stop Trump—that those who hate and fear his formidable fortitude, stamina, desire, and ability to truly Make America Great Again, have come to understand—would be a bullet to the head. That almost happened.

If the assassin had succeeded, our Country, a Free Constitutional Republic, would have died at that moment, along with him.

Fortunately for us, and by the grace of GOD, Trump survived. He will not stand down despite the toll on him and his family: financially, personally, professionally, and emotionally.

Register to Vote Today

Every American must vote. Trump has given and continues to give so much, including risking his very life for his country and his fellow countrymen. He asks so little from each of us in return.

And it is for our benefit and our country, after all, that America’s gun owners register to vote if they haven’t already done so and that all of us cast our vote for Trump so that he can serve our country and us.

Every American should vote with the idea that his vote determines the outcome of the Election. That vote for Trump—1 + 1 + 1 +1 +1. . . = 100 million—will become a wave that no amount of illegal and unethical machinating by the ruthless forces that would dare to crush Trump, our country, and our people, can withstand.

It is your vote that will make a difference! And it is such an easy thing to do. You have no excuse for not doing so.

Register as a Republican if you have not already done so. Make sure that you cast your vote in the upcoming election and that you cast it for Donald Trump.

Our Republic is on the Line. This is our Last Chance, our Final Battle. Do your small but vital part to Make America Great Again, and to Keep America Great for decades and centuries to come.

51 Million Americans Struggling With Rent Increases As Prices Soar 400%

A new migrant crisis is brewing in the United States. Unlike the one at the southern border, this one will be all over the country. Evictions are rising rapidly as millions of Americans face soaring rent increases driven by inflation, a shortage of affordable housing, and the end of pandemic relief. Rent prices are now 31.4% higher than pre-pandemic levels, with the median rent surpassing $2,000 in May 2024, according to Zillow. This explains why a quarter of U.S. renters say they can no longer afford rent, and about one in five plan to move back in with parents or friends, according to a study by Intuit Credit Karma. "The current housing market has many Americans making adjustments to their living situations, including relocating to less expensive cities and even moving back in with their families," said Courtney Alev, consumer financial advocate at Intuit Credit Karma. "What's most concerning is that rising housing costs aren't just impacting younger generations, but older generations, too." Alev noted that while rent prices have been surging in most parts of the country for a while, Americans have also had inflation, higher borrowing costs and record-high credit card debt to contend with. That's on top of federal student loan payments that resumed in October. No wonder so many Americans are feeling pessimistic about the economy. Earlier this year, a Harvard study found that half of the country’s 102 million renters spend a third or more of their income on housing. In other words, about 51 million households are currently cost-burdened by rent. Whitney Airgood-Obrycki, a senior research associate at Harvard, said, "It’s one of the worst years we’ve ever seen." She added that the number of Americans spending 30% or more on rent in 2024 had not been seen since the Great Recession in 2008, when 10 million Americans lost their homes to foreclosure.

EX-CIA OFFICER: Larry Johnson~ NATO’ Nightmare; North Korea Backs up Russia with 1 Million Missiles & Nuclear Warhead

Larry Johnson: NATO's Nightmare: North Korea Backups Russia with 1 Million Missiles & Nuclear Warhead. In this explosive analysis, former CIA officer Larry Johnson delves into the alarming scenario of North Korea potentially supporting Russia with an unprecedented arsenal of one million missiles and nuclear warheads. This development presents a formidable challenge to NATO and could significantly shift the balance of power in global geopolitics. Johnson examined the implications of such a massive militaristic alignment, exploring how North Korea’s involvement could enhance Russian military capabilities, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He assesses the strategic motivations behind North Korea’s decision to back Russia and the potential consequences for NATO’s security posture. Furthermore, Johnson discusses the logistical and strategic challenges of integrating North Korean military assets with Russian forces, analyzing the potential effectiveness and the geopolitical signals it sends to the West. He also considered diplomatic repercussions, including how this alliance could complicate relations between major powers and the United Nations' response. This insightful video is crucial for understanding the broader implications of North Korea’s involvement in supporting Russia, analyzing potential shifts in international relations, and assessing new threats that could redefine NATO’s strategic calculations.

Hamas Has Stolen $500 Million From Gaza Aid Since October 7

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2024/05/hamas-has-stolen-500-million-from-gaza-aid-since-october-7; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

Hamas has been stealing for its own members at least half of the aid sent to Gaza since October 7. This is not surprising. Hamas has been stealing aid money meant for the people of Gaza ever since it took control of the Strip in 2007. Just three Hamas leaders, Khaled Meshaal, Mousa Abu Marzouk, and Ismail Haniyeh, have among themselves managed to steal the colossal sum of $11 billion in aid. And while Hamas has been complaining about Israel preventing aid from reaching the Strip, it is Hamas that has been harming Gazans, by diverting half of the billion dollars sent by donors to Gaza since October 7. More on this can be found here: “Hamas reaped hundreds of millions off Gaza aid since Oct. 7,” JNS, May 20, 2024:

The Hamas terrorist organization has profited by at least $500 million of the humanitarian aid coming into the Gaza Strip since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to a report that aired on Israel’s Channel 12 last week.

Veteran analyst Ehud Yaari, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, told the broadcaster on Thursday that, according to a calculation he made with “a friend—I don’t know if I’m allowed to mention his name,” Hamas earned “no less” than half a billion dollars" from the aid….

The Tzav 9 (“Order 9”) movement, which has led protests against Jerusalem’s decision to allow humanitarian aid to enter the Strip freely, said that while “the hostages are groaning in captivity, IDF soldiers are risking their lives and the children of the [Gaza] Envelope [Israelis living near the border with Gaza] do not sleep at night,” the terror group “continues to exist and enjoy financial prosperity.”…

The volume of aid provided to the hostile territory has more than doubled since the start of the war, according to data provided by the government to Israel’s Supreme Court in response to a petition by left-wing groups.

According to the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), Hamas terrorists divert at least 60% of the goods entering Gaza for their own purposes….

The Israelis keep explaining to the world that there is no famine in Gaza in this sense: enough food aid is getting through to the Strip to supply the needs of all of its inhabitants, if it is distributed fairly. But it is not. There is a maldistribution of the aid that enters, where Hamas operatives immediately seize about 60% of the humanitarian aid — food, medicines, and personal hygiene items — for themselves, their extended families, and their clans. What they do not use they sell, at inflated prices, to the Gazans. Now the Israelis have calculated the enormous size of that diversion of aid to Hamas — at least $500 million worth of aid. But no one protests, no one cares that Hamas does this to the people of Gaza. There is no way to blame the Jews for this grand theft, so it is of no interest.
