If campaign donations are any guide, the felony conviction of Donald Trump for misclassifying internal accounting records (!) has energized Republicans far more than Democrats.
I hope democratic minded voters are coming around to realize what a train wreck the new Democratic party is. It is nothing like the old democratic party. It is one thing to let out petty criminals on No Bail. It is another to use lawfare to go after political opponents. That is something reminiscent of Russia and the Nazis along with a host of other dictatorships.
We just hung a(n American) flag on our house this month. I've never been into flags, honestly haven't given them much thought, but felt compelled for this very reason. For those with similar sentiments, it's a bolstering effect. A statement to say, I actually believe and live my life in accordance with what we were founded on. If now is not the time to make a statement of commitment to life and liberty then I don't know when will be.
Ryan, you are so right!! I have a 4’ eagle statue in my front yard with a 3x5 American Flag attached. My neighbors comment on how much they like the display, then say “Hey, what do you think of that sham Trump trial?” I live in the country, farmers and Trump signs everywhere. Only one guy gives me the stink eye - I know who he voted for.
My Gadsden flag is on my car--in Florida, we have vanity plates featuring the Gadsden front and center, with the words "Don't Tread on Me" in place of a state motto. Wish Substack would enable images already, but if you are interested, here's what it looks like!
Yes there are lots of "irregularly hung Canadian Flags" here in my part of Canada. Before Trudeau there were none. I have had a flag I bought for the purpose a couple of years ago however have been too busy to get a flag pole to mount it on the house. Part of that is because my Wife insists I hang her "Queen Romana" flag first. I'm not too busy right now so hopefully I can do both in the next couple of weeks now that I have the wall brackets welded up.
We don't see eye to eye on the Queen but I have to admit I took the wife to a couple of the Queen's events and the hug the Queen gave me energized me for two weeks. There is something there. Never had that kind of response to a hug before. Shes got her heart in the right place and promotes the anti vaccine side as well.
We face the same regulatory problems as other free election countries. Our next federal election is October 2025. We are stuck with the WEF Turd until then unless the NDP party ceases to support the Liberal Minority Government.
I am not so worried about them. It is the Billionaire class that has hijacked the Democratic Party that I am worried about. They are funding this crap.
Can we say that there's funding on both sides? Biden pulled in 1.7 billion in 2020 and Trump pulled in 1 billion. As the article showed, Billionaires are backing the Republican party as well.
There are billionaires financing candidates on both sides. I am worried about the WEF Billionaires looking to wreck the Western Economies who support the Democrats. It remains to be seen if any important Republican politicians have been bought.
Almost? They took it over completely a while ago, Louise. Sterilizing children, cancel culture, supporting terrorists in Gaza, they all dance to that songbook
I'm not sure that all Democrat voters support the "progressive" policies of their elected leaders, but they are used to pulling the Democrat lever and have been repeatedly told Trump is a combination of Hitler and Satan.
They're not left wing, they're multi millionaire crony capitalist shills. They will always pick insurance Corp over health care, war and Arms Corp over peace, Walmart/Amazon over Main St.
I think they are starting to figure out that many (or most) of the people supporting Trump are serious and this will not go down without a complete restoration of the republic, no matter what it takes. Donations and votes for Trump are now the least of the problems for the left.
Ryan you are totally correct! Banana Republic Biden has no clue about what he unleashed by coordinating all these prosecutions of his political opponents, including the January 6 hostages.
I dropped him a C note - because of the trial, and all the other sh!t the demorats have pulled. If I had a million to spare, I’d give him that as well. I am so disillusioned with this judicial system.
👍🏼 ✅ 👌 - I’d only made one direct campaign donation before, myself (I’ll leave my age out of this), other than to that young fella from NC - who sadly flamed out.
ANYWHO, I wrote a 4 digit check a couple weeks prior to the trial ending, as well as to a local challenger - and I feel good 😊
It’s amazing the dollar support from the big guns, it’s more amazing the number of us small donors
They are old pros at this game. My signature on a candidate's petition was challenged by the other party when I was in college back in 1984. Democrat primary in NYC. I wasn't present because I was back in school and my signature was struck. They did this enough times to eliminate my candidate from the primary. This is exactly how Obama started his political career in Illinois. Getting his oponents disappeared from ballots. Old school shenanigans.
I'm from New Jersey, a lifelong Jersey girl. However, I split for Florida during the oppressive kommie jab mandate days of 2020, and I'm never going back.
With that said, that Wildwood crowd was impressive, and the UFC more so. However, most of the sane-minded people have fled NJ just like I did for the safety and liberty of red states, so I don't really think there are enough red votes remaining there to matter.
It's sad and it sucks, as I have no choice but to shlep up there 3x a year to visit my elderly parents, who aren't leaving NJ. I just hope the place doesn't collapse while they are still breathing.
And why wouldn’t it bolster his candidacy? All but the most addled mind-numbed leftist robots have seen this corrupt proceeding for the travesty it has been. Americans know true injustice when they see it and Americans detest bullies.
It also opened the eyes of Democrats, who see that the leaders of their party have weaponized the FBI, the DOJ and the justice system. It makes them think this could happen to them if they disagree with the Democrat's policies and criticize them publicly.
Exactly why Alex should be smart enough to not only vote for Trump, but he should donate to him as well. He's been in their sights himself and should recognize and fear the tactics as much as anyone....
If Trump spent over $100 million to defend himself just imagine what the Stalinistic WITCH hunters spent using the AMERICAN TAXPAYER monies in doing so. They just FLEECE the taxpayer at will now, not to mention what they have done with all the people around Trump and people who just walked thru the Capital (most) on Jan 6th 2021
I'd like you to cover how many people have been showing up to Biden campaign rallies. Biden had one recently at a school gym, and gym floor was not filled up with chairs and people. Not that many people. It's like Trump vs. Hillary in 2016. Trump has big rallies with lots of people, the democratic candidate for president does not.
When does any real digging occur to find out that so much of the BLM "donations" went to Biden & Co. ???? Never has been a proper accounting - and there never will be.
What if it has bolstered *independent* enthusiasm for his candidacy, and in fact is drawing in Dem voters who see the lawfare for just what it is? That would really be a game-changer.
I wasn't going to re-up for Alex last year given his serious TDS. However, he appears to be coming over to the dark side--slowly--and coupled with his humor and excellent prose, I decided to renew. Glad I did! I pay for very few subscriptions of this ilk.

My 76 YO hispanic F-in_L is a lifelong Democrat and he absolutely loathes the Democratic Party of today. He is a staunch Trump supporter.
Then WHY is he a "Democrat?"
RU saying, save for President Trump, he’s still voting for the left?
If you want to test this hypothesis in your own neighborhood then put up a flag.
You'll find out real quick where people stand. It's been enlightening for me once I did it.
It's a sad state of affairs that everyone knows what that "means" now...

I guess you've seen my Gadsden flag?
It annoys the living shit out of my "pride flag" waving neighbor.
On the other hand, the tradesmen who patronize the nearby hardware store regularly honk the horns on their trucks and flash a "thumbs up."
Right on!
It's just a shortcut to letting you know who's a commie or not

I've seen it when visiting a friend with a winter home in Florida.
It'll never be offered here in Maskachusetts. Probably just as well--my car would be vandalized.
Wow. Very nice!

Ha! That's funny about wifey Fred!
We don't see eye to eye on the Queen but I have to admit I took the wife to a couple of the Queen's events and the hug the Queen gave me energized me for two weeks. There is something there.

When are Canadians going to oust Trudeau?
We face the same regulatory problems as other free election countries. Our next federal election is October 2025. We are stuck with the WEF Turd until then unless the NDP party ceases to support the Liberal Minority Government.
The left wing radicals have almost completed their takeover of the Democrat Party.
I am not so worried about them. It is the Billionaire class that has hijacked the Democratic Party that I am worried about. They are funding this crap.
And most of those peeps don't even live in the USA
Can we say that there's funding on both sides? Biden pulled in 1.7 billion in 2020 and Trump pulled in 1 billion. As the article showed, Billionaires are backing the Republican party as well.
It's really the billionaires that are running this show (PS: and have been for a while as I argue in my book: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/donating-to-a-good-cause-how-billionaires), but until call that for what it is, this show will keep on continuing -- and this verdict is nothing but the latest chapter of the 2024 election: A convicted felon as American Presidential candidate: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/breaking-news-the-verdict-doesnt
Bezos' ex wife is doing a good job funding left wing causes.
Uhhh... did you not read that a billionaire donor just put in a pile of money for the Trump campaign? I am voting for Trump, but let's be honest here!

So you think most of the Democratic Party supports this. I didn't think it was that bad.
I'm not sure that all Democrat voters support the "progressive" policies of their elected leaders, but they are used to pulling the Democrat lever and have been repeatedly told Trump is a combination of Hitler and Satan.
It is not left wing radicals that ultimately control that Culture of Death Party…it is Satan himself who rules it.
They're not left wing, they're multi millionaire crony capitalist shills. They will always pick insurance Corp over health care, war and Arms Corp over peace, Walmart/Amazon over Main St.
Truth!
Anarcho-Tyranny and the GOP just continues to enable IT. They TALK a lot, but have no balls
I think they are starting to figure out that many (or most) of the people supporting Trump are serious and this will not go down without a complete restoration of the republic, no matter what it takes. Donations and votes for Trump are now the least of the problems for the left.
Damn Straight.
They have no fucking clue what they've unleashed.
In the last 36 hours I've had 11 people I know tell me that they had zero plans of voting for Trump....until now.
They're trying to intimidate and cower us into silence.....and draw us offside.
We're not falling for it. They have awoken a sleeping giant.
Ryan you are totally correct! Banana Republic Biden has no clue about what he unleashed by coordinating all these prosecutions of his political opponents, including the January 6 hostages.
Yeah it all matters...and doesn't at the same time.
Really all that matters is we have to get these commies out of office.
Then tear it all down imo. It's beyond repair.
💯

Registered democrat for over 50 years. Cannot vote for Biden and his puppet masters. Look what they have done.
Bless you. Now please convince 10 sensible friends who aren't single-issue (abortion) voters!
I coughed up for the first time last night. Now how do we stop the cheating?
Me too
Good luck with an honest election. As the Babylon Bee said, Biden still holds a substantial lead among the people who count the votes.
They are old pros at this game. My signature on a candidate's petition was challenged by the other party when I was in college back in 1984. Democrat primary in NYC.

Might as well give my money to Trump. It won't be worth a damn when the debt balloon collapses, anyway.
We the people are onto the fact that all these fake election interference trials against President Trump are Democrat’s new Russia Collusion scam.
It also opened the eyes of Democrats, who see that the leaders of their party have weaponized the FBI, the DOJ and the justice system. It makes them think this could happen to them if they disagree with the Democrat's policies and criticize them publicly.
Exactly why Alex should be smart enough to not only vote for Trump, but he should donate to him as well. He's been in their sights himself and should recognize and fear the tactics as much as anyone....
It appears he is slowly coming around...

Mostly likely only the teachers union people were there.
Most likely only the campaign staff + the local Democrat committee was there.

My 24 year old son, a welder, bought a maga hat and donated $50 this weekend. Never cared one bit about politics- boy does he now!!!
What if it has bolstered *independent* enthusiasm for his candidacy, and in fact is drawing in Dem voters who see the lawfare for just what it is? That would really be a game-changer.
I don’t need $70 million. Just 20 cents a day.)
Bleeping hilarious
Yeah, but I bet he wouldn’t turn down 70 million 😉 He’s got lawsuits too you know!
