This Is No Way To Treat Voters

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Townhall posted an article about the continuing partial shutdown of the government. This is a government shutdown brought about by petulant Democrats who have decided that they want to control how the Executive Branch administers border control and immigration enforcement. At the present time, Congress is not inconvenienced by the long lines at the airport because people who serve in Congress are immediately escorted to the front of the line. They don’t have to deal with the consequences of their actions. But it gets worse.

This was posted on X:

It should not be to goal of elected officials to make the people who elected them hurt!

Another X post included in the article:

The article concludes:

Whoever told the Democrats that this was a winning strategy doesn’t understand the American people. With the exception of the Leftist loon fringe, most of us do not approve of being used as political pawns, and we do not like it when the Democrats inflict pain on us for their gain.

More than that, after years of seeing illegal immigrants kill our citizens, increase crime in our cities, and flout American laws, we’re not going to look kindly on returning to the policies of the Biden years.

This will backfire on Democrats.

No Democrat who has supported this shutdown deserves your vote in November.

Using Your Voter ID To Opposed Voter ID

Posted on by

The following was posted on X on Thursday afternoon:

On Wednesday, The U.S. House of Representatives passed the SAVE America Act.

On Wednesday, Fox News reported:

The House of Representatives passed a massive election integrity overhaul bill on Wednesday despite opposition from the vast majority of Democrats.

The House passed Rep. Chip Roy’s SAVE America Act, legislation that’s aimed at keeping non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections. All but one House Democrat — Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — voted against the bill. It passed 218 to 213.

It is an updated version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also led by Roy, R-Texas, which passed the House in April 2025 but was never taken up in the Senate.

The bill requires a new federal proof of citizenship mandate in the voter registration process, photo ID to vote in any federal elections, and require states to clear ineligible voters from their voter rolls (dead people, etc.). In North Carolina, we had (hopefully this has been fixed) a number of people on our voting rolls that were over 120 years old. Hopefully the are no longer on the voting rolls or they are alive and being celebrated by their families.

The article notes:

House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., accused Republicans of trying to make it harder for women to vote. She argued that the legislation would make it more difficult for married women to cast ballots if their surname is different from their maiden name on their birth certificate.

Do they really believe women are too dumb to produce a birth certificate and a marriage certificate (or other form of identification)? You need an id to open a bank account or cash a check. To my knowledge, women have been doing both for years.

The article concludes:

Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital, “The American people did not give Republicans a mandate to make excuses. They gave us one to deliver wins, and the SAVE America Act is exactly that. Every single Democrat who voted no today proved they would rather let illegal aliens tip the scales in our national elections than protect your vote.”

If implemented, the bill could see new requirements imposed on voters in this year’s November midterm elections.

But it would have to pass the Senate, where current rules dictate that at least several Democrats are needed to meet the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster.

Seventy plus percent of Americans support voter id requirements. Let’s see if the Senate is willing to listen to the people they are supposed to represent!

The Chats Tell The Story

Posted on by

On Monday, Townhall posted an article about some Signal Chats among the people causing the disruptions in Minneapolis. There are a lot of angles to this story, so please follow the link and read the entire article.

The article reports:

They got exposed, but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or stopped. They’re a roach infestation. These leftists in Minneapolis, causing mayhem for our law enforcement, had their secret Anti-ICE chat on Signal exposed, but new ones have been established, and the older ones nuked from existence. 

…Still, the chats revealed a coordinated system from which these psychopaths could engage in targeted harassment and assault of federal law enforcement. Reporter Cam Higby dropped this nuke over the weekend, and now they’re scattering. Some said they’re fleeing the country and going to Cuba, which was amusing:

The article also notes:

Here are some of the contents from the initial story Higby dropped over the weekend. RedState broke down the mayhem even further, diving into the funding and who was on it. We know that ‘Flan,’ the alleged codename for Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, was part of this chat, along with Alex Pretti, the latest leftist shot and killed by immigration officers, which led to the second wave of lefty mayhem in the city. Pretti was carrying a firearm, though he didn’t have his proper ID with him*, at this protest, but things went awry, and he was killed. Again, interfering with federal law enforcement operations will lead to dire consequences for the agitator. The Left claims this was another execution. The bodycams from the Border Patrol agents involved are being analyzed.  

You can read the various messages in the article, but the article includes an X post by Cam Higby that is disturbing:

This is not a grassroots operation. This is politicians caught with their hands in the cookie jar trying to distract from their crimes.

Elections Have Consequences

Posted on by

Now that the Democrats have taken over the governorship and legislature of Virginia, I wonder if the voters are happy with what they are seeing.

The following list was posted on X:

Look for a massive exodus from the Commonwealth of Virginia–one of the prettiest states in the nation. Virginia is my stop-off place when coming home from New England to North Carolina. With the increase in the hotel tax, I might want to reconsider that. Taxes in Virginia are increasing, and freedom is decreasing for law-abiding citizens. Criminal penalties for robbery are decreasing. Outlawing hand-counting ballots will make it easier to cheat in elections, and expanding ranked-choice voting will simply confuse everyone.

A New Level Of Chutzpah

Posted on by

The link below is to a video posted on X by a group of Democrats with prior military and intelligence service. The video is a message to our current military and intelligence service members. It is a reminder that it is okay to disobey an order if the order is unconstitutional. (Actually, the way the video is framed, it is an encouragement to disobey orders). The intelligence people making this video were part of two administrations that illegally spied on American citizens and made up intelligence for political purposes. Those administrations used the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to stop conservative groups from getting tax-exempt status. They sent a S.W.A.T team to arrest a non-violent pro-life protester. They are reminding people of the Constitution now? The military people stood still as the military was quietly purged of people who were patriots and might resist the authoritarian efforts of the President (former President Obama with a pen and a phone, and former President Biden who completely ignored the Supreme Court ruling on student loans) just to give a few examples.

This is the X Post:

What they are saying is essentially true, but it should include a warning to anyone following their advice that if they are not on solid ground with their claim that an order is unconstitutional, they could wind up in jail.

Here are some of the comments in the video (source here):

In her post on X, Slotkin said the group wanted to speak “directly” to service members, claiming “the American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.”

Kelly, a former Navy pilot, accused the Trump administration of “pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” echoing similar claims from Crow and Slotkin.

At several points in the video, Kelly, Slotkin, and Deluzio repeat the line: “You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.”

Goodlander joined Kelly in reminding viewers that “like us, you swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.”

One of the comments on X about the video is a picture of Senator Slotkin allegedly on the airplane to Ukraine in 2015 to fire the state prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. This is the caliber of the people who made this video. The other people involved are Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris Deluzio, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, Representative Chrissy Houlahan, and Congressman Jason Crow. All of them need to be disciplined for attempting to create disunity in the military and intelligence communities. As I previously stated, what they are saying is true, the manner in which they are saying it is highly inappropriate.

Random Thoughts On President Trump’s Peace Deal

Posted on by

John F. Kennedy once stated, “Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” The mainstream media’s reaction to President Trump’s peace deal and the reaction of some of the prominent Democrat politicians confirms that truth.

Senator Elizabeth posted the following on X:

For two excruciating years, I have called for the return of the hostages brutally kidnapped on October 7th and held in Gaza.

Today is a good day. Surviving Israeli hostages are finally home and reuniting with loved ones. I’m thinking of them and their families on this joyful day and praying for their full recovery. I’m also grieving for all those who can’t come home today.

Today must also be an important step toward lasting peace in the region — peace for both Israelis and Palestinians. We must end the war in Gaza, surge humanitarian aid, and negotiate a two-state solution now.

Did she really think that her words were going to get the hostages released?

This is what former President Obama posted on X:

Notice that he fails to give credit to President Trump. He is still the petty, self-centered person he was as President, only now he is searching for relevance.

On Sunday, The New York Post reported:

Hillary Clinton heaped some rare praise on her former arch-enemy Donald Trump for his handling of the Gaza peace deal in a recent interview.

“I really commend President Trump and his administration,” Clinton told CBS News 24/7 Friday.

“As well as Arab leaders in the region, for making the commitment to the 20-point plan and seeing a path forward for what’s often called the day after,” she added.

Searching for relevance?

It is interesting that President Trump is more popular in Israel than he is in America. The people who were yelling ‘stop the genocide’ have been surprising quiet (as the streets of Gaza erupt in chaos with Hamas killing anyone they believe collaborated with Israel and rival gangs vying for control). I wonder if Hamas has deliberately killed more civilians in Gaza than the Israeli Defense Forces have accidentally killed.

Stay Vigilant

On Sunday, Fox 13 in Utah reported that two men were arrested for leaving an incendiary device under a Fox News 13 vehicle.

The article reports:

MAGNA, Utah — Two men have been arrested after allegedly leaving an incendiary device underneath a FOX 13 News vehicle and then forcing an evacuation of a Magna neighborhood when the FBI served an overnight warrant on their home.

The men, Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31, were booked into jail and face multiple charges, including Threat of Terrorism, Possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction, and Possessing Explosive Devices.

An X post by Collin Rugg reports:

Adeeb Nasir, 58, and Adil Justice Ahmed Nasir, 31 have reportedly been arrested.

The Salt Lake City Police Department Bomb Squad and the Unified Fire Authority Arson/Bomb Squad say a real explosive device was found under the vehicle.

“Police say they found the device placed under a news media vehicle parked next to an occupied building and determined it to be a real explosive device. It “had been lit but failed to function as designed,” according to the affidavit,” KSL reported.

The article at Fox News concludes:

The men were located at the home, and during the search, told investigators that “two hoax weapons of mass destruction” that officials discovered were “real,” the arrest report stated.

Because of the devices, the home was evacuated, as well as nearby homes in the neighborhood.

Although the warrant was issued for the search of evidence related to the incendiary devices found under the FOX 13 News vehicle, law enforcement officials “observed additional contraband and evidence of crimes outside the scope of the original warrant, to include firearms and firearm related items, explosives and explosive-related components, illegal narcotics and associated paraphernalia, as well as electronic devices reasonably believed to contain evidence” of the original device that was discovered.

According to the Salt Lake City Police Department, both men had a protective orders that prohibits them from possessing firearms.

“FOX 13 News is working closely with law-enforcement and our risk management team, with the safety of our employees as our top priority,” said FOX 13 Station Manager Leona Wood.

One of the men is listed as born in Utah; the other man is listed as having been born in Pakistan.

I’m Skeptical, But I Would Love To See This Work

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Hot Air reported:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio is going to meet with the Syrian Foreign Minister on Thursday in Turkey.

President Trump will greet Ahmed Al-Sharaa in Riyadh tomorrow. 

My favorite quote from the article:

Trump will talk to anyone who sincerely wants to talk to him. It’s like his magic power.

Ahmed Al Sharaa has been serving as President of Syria since January of this year. He is from a Sunni Muslim family.

The article notes that he has not been an exemplary leader so far:

By the beginning of March, it was pretty clear a jihadi leader now using his given name – Ahmed Al Sharaa – in a $4000 suit was still a jihadi at heart. Al-Sharaa’s boys were having themselves the rampaging adventures of a lifetime, systematically exterminating Druze and Alawite communities all over northern Syria with impunity. Oh – and trying to find the five or six Jews left in the country.

We haven’t heard much out of the area since, except for reports that detail American and Israeli strikes on targets in the area. Most associated with the ongoing cat and mouse game the Houthis had been playing and the assorted Iranian militias supporting them, who operate freely all through the southern portion of Iraq, Yemen, and Syria, as President Trump noted during his speech in Saudi Arabia today.

I applaud President Trump providing an avenue for Al-Sharaa to reform, but I am skepticall. Any time you are dealing with an Islamist, you need to consider the Islamic concept of taqiyya. This is a concept in Islamic law that translates as “deceit or dissimulation,” particularly toward infidels. It is generally described as lying for the sake of Islam.

However, there may be some possible rewards for making nice to Syria.

To quote Shaun Maguire on X:

The article at Hot Air notes:

This also helps keep Turkey on the spot because, should Al-Sharaa start to see the fruits of cooperation with the US pay off and Syria begins to rise from the dead, he becomes a hero, and there’s nothing more these egotists love than being loved. He won’t let Erdogan interfere with that, whatever he owes him.

The other is the pressure from Saudi Arabia on Syria now. They facilitated this come to Trump moment. The crown prince would take it ill if the jihadi reappeared after making a public spectacle of the Saudis’ belief that he was worth cultivating and his country worth saving.

The Saudis do not take embarrassment lightly.

This is going to be interesting to watch. It would be wonderful to see the Middle East break out in peace.

When The Courts Are Out Of Control

Posted on by

On Friday, Newsmax reported that Walmart is considering leaving Delaware as the state of its incorporation.

The article reports:

Walmart is among the latest and biggest companies considering leaving Delaware as its location of incorporation.

A small group of corporate attorneys last month told Delaware legislators that blue-chip companies including Walmart were considering moving their corporate legal residences out of the state, Semafor reported.

The news is said to have Delaware’s political and business leaders reeling.

The small state of Delaware with just over 1 million people derives more than one-third of its state budget from corporate legal fees, not to mention the far greater impact corporation business has on the economy.

There is a reason for this exodus:

Billionaire Elon Musk began the corporate stampede when he moved multiple companies out of Delaware, including Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink.

The move came after Delaware Chancellor Judge Kathaleen McCormick, a Democrat, ordered Musk to give up a compensation package valued at $55.8 billion, though it was twice approved by shareholders.

The ruling followed McCormick’s January 2024 decision that called the Musk pay package excessive and rescinded it.

The move surprised investors and cast uncertainty of the state’s long-held position as a neutral corporate arbiter.

Despite painting Musk’s compensation as greedy, McCormick did award the trial lawyers who sued Musk a staggering $345 million for their legal filings.

At issue for Musk, Fortune 500 CEOs and entrepreneurs across the U.S. is that the Delaware Court of Chancery has become a haven for shareholder lawsuits and left-wing judicial activism.

Musk was not happy with McCormick’s ruling and took to X, writing, “Shareholders should control company votes, not judges.”

Another Musk repost stated: “Things to do in Delaware: 1) Leave.”

Musk has also urged other companies to quit Delaware as well.

“Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware,” Musk wrote on X.

The courts should not be able to override the wishes of the stockholders in a privately held company. Actions have consequences.

The End Of The Matt Gaetz Appointment

Posted on by

This is the statement Matt Gaetz posted on X:

I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1. I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.

I have no doubt that Matt Gaetz would make a great Attorney General. I also would not be surprised if there were some skeletons in his closet. However, I would challenge anyone to find three people in Washington without skeletons in their closet. I am disappointed that he is dropping out. Had the Republicans united behind him as one of President Trump’s picks, he would have been approved. Even when their candidate wins the popular vote and the Electoral College, the Republicans forget that they have a spine.

As Don Surber recently stated:

The big hubbub in DC is over Trump’s selection of Matt Gaetz as his attorney general, who does not meet Washington’s standards.

Those standards include Eric Holder who openly defied a congressional subpoena, Loretta Lynch who discussed Hillary’s case with Bill in plain sight days before the dropping all charges against his wife, and the detestable Merrick Garland who jailed hundreds of Trump supporters.

DC fears retribution for a decade of prosecutorial persecution of Trump and his team.

Pam Bondi has been nominated as Attorney General. Hopefully the deep state will not be successful in ending that nomination. If Republicans continue to cave to unproven scandals, the unproven scandals will continue. It should be noted that the Justice Department investigated Matt Gaetz for years and never filed charges. Do you think they would have filed charges if they had a case?

Foreign Election Interference

On Thursday, The Conservative Treehouse posted an article about British efforts to influence the upcoming presidential election.

The article includes this screenshot:

The article notes:

[SOURCE – LINKEDIN]

The left-leaning Labour Party won a majority in the Parliament in July, toppling the Conservative government and making Labour leader Keir Starmer the new prime minister.

In a post originally published on LinkedIn calling for more volunteers, Sofia Patel, head of operations for the Labour Party, wrote, “I have nearly 100 Labour Party staff (current and former) going to the US in the next few weeks heading to North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.”

“I have 10 spots available for anyone available to head to the battleground state of North Carolina – we will sort your housing,” she added. (read more)

GB News reported, “Confirmation of a Labour campaign push raises doubts about the Prime Minister’s previously neutral stance on the 2024 US Presidential Election.”

It is worth remembering the British intelligence operation (Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6) was at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in 2016.

This is not acceptable.
