. ![[Linked Image from i.imgflip.com]](https://i.imgflip.com/99li1c.jpg) That beautifully encapsulates a line said by Kamala Harris at a rally during her campaign, to explain both (1) why she lost, and (2) why her at least $1.4 billion record campaign treasury was wastefully hosed away, and ended up $20 million in debt.

. 159 DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THE "LAKEN RILEY ACT" LEGISLATION TO DEPORT CRIMINAL SEX OFFENDER ILLEGALS. DEMOCRATS OVERWHELMINGLY SIDE WITH SEX OFFENDERS AGAINST CITIZENS - The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed the Laken Riley Act, legislation requiring federal immigration authorities to detain illegal migrants committing theft-related crimes in the United States. The bill, named in memory of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student murdered by an illegal immigrant, passed 264-159, with every Republican and 48 Democrats voting in favor.
[ all 159 who voted against the bill listed ]
The act also allows states to sue the Department of Homeland Security for damages caused by illegal immigration. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson strongly criticized the 159 Democrats who voted against the bill, stating in a statement, “It is hard to believe after countless horrific stories like Laken’s, ANY House Democrats would vote against deporting illegal aliens who commit violent crimes against American citizens.”
Riley’s killer, Venezuelan national Jose Antonio Ibarra, was convicted in November for her murder. Prior to the incident, Ibarra had been arrested for shoplifting but was released as [under the law at ha time] the charge was considered a misdemeanor.
The act’s passage signifies a major Republican effort to prioritize immigration enforcement under the newly convened Congress. Speaker Johnson noted the broader message from voters in recent elections, emphasizing demands for secure borders and strict deportation policies.
Georgia Republican Rep. Mike Collins, who sponsored the bill, highlighted its necessity during House floor debates, stating, “Right now, ICE is unable to detain and deport these illegal criminals who commit these minor-level crimes, but the Laken Riley Act will fix this.”
Riley’s family has been vocal in their support of the legislation, describing it as a measure that could prevent future tragedies. “The Laken Riley Act has our full support because it would help save innocent lives and prevent more families from going through the kind of heartbreak we’ve experienced,” said her mother and stepfather, Allyson and John Phillips.
While the bill received bipartisan support, opposition came largely from House Democrats, including Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who argued the legislation risks detaining migrants wrongfully accused of crimes. “This is a radical departure from current law, which since 1996 has generally required mandatory detention only for persons who are criminally convicted or who admit to having committed certain serious crimes,” Raskin said during the debate.
The act now moves to the Senate, where Republican Sen. Katie Britt introduced a companion bill supported by all Senate Republicans and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. A Senate vote could happen as early as Friday.

159 ultra-woke Democrat-Bolsheviks, who desperately want to be primaried out in the next election. The people you are in Washington to represent and protect are taxpaying U.S. citizens and their children, NOT the illegal immigrant parasite criminals you have chosen to side with over your constituents. Thank you for showing your true ideology and loyalties. These will make perfect campaign ads in 18 months, to remove all 159 of you. Proving you haven't learned a damned thing since the Nov 2024 election. Quadrupling down on stupid.

. DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORTED THE 'LAKEN RILEY ACT' BILL - Seven House Democrats flipped their votes to “yes” on a GOP-led bill named after the slain Georgia student Laken Riley that would require detention of migrants arrested for theft.
The Laken Riley Act became the first House bill passed this year, clearing the lower chamber in a 264-159 vote, with 48 Democrats joining all Republicans in support.
The legislation was originally passed in the House by Republicans and 37 Democrats in March [2024], but failed to pass the Democratic-led Senate.
Democrat House Representatives.... 1. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.), 2. Val Hoyle (D-Ore.), 3. Lucy McBath (D-Ga.), 4. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.), 5. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) and 6. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.) ... voted “yes” on Tuesday after voting “no” in March.
7. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) previously did not vote on the matter but voted “yes” on Tuesday.
Eleven new Democratic votes [for the Laken Riley bill] came from freshmen legislators, while four who voted in favor of the bill in March are no longer in the House: Colin Allred (D-Texas), Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.), Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) and Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), who was sworn into the Senate last week.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) originally voted yes on the legislation but on Tuesday he did not vote.
So... ONLY the Democrats who did not have to get re-elected supported the Laken Riley bill, along with a few just-elected freshmen Democrats who supported the bill. All the others are ideologically dug in, pro-illegal immigrants, anti-American citizen safety. And like Thelma and Louise, pedal to the metal driving over the cliff. Right after they badly lost an election for exactly this kind of opposition to common sense protections, and vetting of immigrants allowed to enter.

. Continuing the fallout from the Nov 2024 election... https://www.justflightbooking.com/msnbc-plans-evening-shake-up-replacing-joy-reid-alex-wagner/and Rachel Maddow blasts MSNBC for axing Joy Reid, calls out network's treatment of staffers in stunning rebuke - Rachel Maddow offered a stunning rebuke to MSNBC over its decision to pull her colleague Joy Reid from its programming and how it is treating staffers who potentially face layoffs.
Maddow took a moment on Monday night to address the "changes" being announced at MSNBC, reminding her viewers that "The Rachel Maddow Show" will revert to only Mondays at the conclusion of President Trump's first 100 days in office, but not all of her primetime colleagues will remain a result of programming overhaul.
She specifically called the cancelation of "The ReidOut" in the 7 p.m. ET timeslot and Reid's exit from the network "very, very, very hard to take."
"I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. But in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid," Maddow said.
"I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her," she continued. "I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and personally, I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. It is not my call, and I understand that, but that's what I think."
JOY REID WARNS MSNBC VIEWERS FASCISM IS ‘ALREADY HERE’ IN HER FINAL SHOW AT LIBERAL NETWORK
Maddow went on to call it "unnerving" for the network to cancel the shows of "two non-White hosts" in its weekday programming as well as "The Katie Phang Show" on the weekends, noting that "The Alex Wagner Show" will no longer fill in Maddow's 9 p.m. ET timeslot for the remainder of the week, which is instead going to "Inside with Jen Psaki."
"And that feels worse than bad, no matter who replaces them," Maddow said. "That feels indefensible, and I do not defend it."
While Maddow noted that Wagner will remain with the network as a political analyst, she did not mention that Reid's timeslot is being filled by Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez, two of whom are Black and one is Latina, all currently co-host a weekend program together. Phang, too, is also remaining with the network as a legal correspondent.
LESTER HOLT STEPPING DOWN FROM ‘NBC NIGHTLY NEWS’
Very few at MSNBC have the job security of Maddow, who allegedly negotiated a whopping $25 million salary last year. But she went to bat for network staffers who she said were "really being put through the wringer."
"Dozens of producers and staffers, including some who are among the most experienced and most talented and most specialist producers in the building, are facing being laid off, they're being invited to reapply for new jobs," Maddow said.
"That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programming changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people, and it's inefficient and it's unnecessary, and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work and so we don't generally do things that way," she added.
MSNBC AWARDS JEN PSAKI MORE AIRTIME AMID PROGRAMMING OVERHAUL, RACHEL MADDOW WILL GO BACK TO MONDAYS ONLY
"Maybe all of our folks, including most of the people who are getting this very show on the air right now, maybe they will all get new jobs here, and I hope they do, but in the meantime, being put in this kind of limbo, the anxiety and the discombobulation is off the charts at a time when this job already is extra stressful and difficult," Maddow continued.
"It is not news for me to tell you that the press and freedom of the press are under attack in a way that is really – it's a big deal for our country. It's very visceral for us here. I know that the business of the press is not an easy thing, and I know that no job is forever, but I think I'm safe in saying for all of us anchors who you know through the TV, please know that what pains us the most is not what happens to us. It is what happens to our coworkers on whom we depend, and who you don't necessarily know, but we respect and love them, and depend on them, and did I mention we respect them?"
"This is a difficult time in the news business, but it does not need to be this difficult… Finding good people, good colleagues, doing good work with them and then having their back. That we can do a lot better on. A lot better," Maddow added.
Maddow, perhaps emboldened by the fact her viewership trounces her MSNBC colleagues, has a history of taking defiant stances against her own employer. Last year, Maddow offered the most scathing response to NBC's decision to hire former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel, which was quickly reversed following the chorus of on-air backlash.
She also took NBC to task in 2019 over its cover-up of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and how it forced its own journalist at the time, Ronan Farrow, to publish his 2017 bombshell reporting with The New Yorker, even booking him on her program to discuss his story.
MSNBC's future remains unclear as its parent company, NBC Universal, is set to spin off the network and a slew of other sister channels to be its own standalone entity later this year. Meanwhile, its ratings have been in sharp decline and its programming has undergone drastic changes without juicing viewership.
 Man, I love it ! The Democrat / Left are the most vicious backstabbing people on the planet, and particularly those in the media. They love to heap slanders on their political opposition in their very skewed "reporting". So there's nothing more I love --LOVE-- than watching them unleash that viciousness on their own. CNN and MSNBC have been in a death-spiral drop in ratings since the Nov 2024 election. Because their viewership is fully aware now of how egregiously these networks have lied to them. In the DNC itself, and on these networks (and ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS) they continue to quadruple down on stupid, and hyperventilate about how Donald Trump is Hitler, and how this is the rise of fascism and doom (DESPITE that Trump already served 4 prosperous years and didn't do any of the crazy stuff these same networks alleged back during Trump's first term, and are desperately and even more hysterically alleging now. ) And y'know, for all the fake stuff the media and DNC allege about Trump, it was the DEMOCRATS under Obama and Biden who tried to silence and shut down free speech and freedom of the press, spuying on and arresting Fox News reporters, and trying to de-platform and shut down Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax. Weaponizing federal agencies to do so. It was THE DEMOCRATS who arrested reporters, to the point that even a 40-year New York Times reporter in the White House Press Corps said Obama's presidency was "the most control-freak" lockdown repressive administration he'd ever dealt with. Spying on and going after White House staffers who spoke to the press like no administration before or since. It was THE DEMOCRATS, not Trump, who for roughly the last 20 years have used their federal agency positions to go after Republican officials, and to go after thousands of grass-roots Republicans, weaponizing the IRS, the FBI, DOJ, ATF (under Trump, just merged days ago into FBI under just-confirmed Kash Patel, to instantly reign that agency in), in DEA (who probably will also be merged into FBI), in EPA (also reigned in, by just-appointed Lee Zeldin, already finding and shutting off $20 billion in corrupt slush-fund payouts, $2 billion of it earmarked for Democrat maniac Stacey Abrams, and $18 billion more to other liberal progressive slush funds). Among many others. 6,000 fired almost instantly from the IRS. 2,000 employees almost instantly fired from USAID, thus ending the $50-billion-plus annually funnelled out of that agency to corrupt and anti-American causes. And now these Democrat / Leftist propaganda "news" networks are drying up from low ratings, and being forced to fire many of their chief propagandists. Jim Acosta, Joy Reid, Andrea Mitchell, Don Lemon, Alex Wagner, Lester Holt. The ones not outright fired and humiliated are getting out with some shred of dignity, quitting before their pending shove out the door. But... Joy Reid's replacement is three more foaming-at-the-mouth progressives. No move to the center, no lesson learned, just the same leftist propaganda every night with a new face. Likewise, even though NBC ia walling itself off from MSNBC, and MSNBC is hiring their own news reporters and correspondents, their executives are saying they will continue with the same hard-Left tilt in their coverage. No move toward objectivity that would pull in a larger audience. THEY HAVE LEARNED NOTHING ! And so these replacement hosts will continue to get the same low ratings, soon be ejected too, for the same failures and lack of credibility. Joy Reid's show (7 PM) at the time of its cancellation was averaging 59,000 viewers a night. Incredible that she stayed on the air EVEN THIS long (I think her current show started in 2020) . For all the incendiary whoppers and continual blowback she got, for all the embarrassing proven lies and factual errors she made, clearly it was MSNBC network ideology that kept her on the air, because anyone else would have been fired long ago. The same situation as Don Lemon. Because she checked off all the Leftist/progressive, [ ] black, [ ] woman and [ ] gay boxes, they were AFRAID to fire her. But comeuppance has finally come, and how sweet it is. No long ago, she was gloating on the air about loving "white tears" and "especially white male tears" . And now here she is, crying like a baby . Like the cry-bully she is. No wine ever tasted so sweet. Here's a 30-minute Joy Reid greatest-hits reel, showing just how unhinged, mean, and racist she is. And how much she gloatingly celebrated the grief of any white/conservative person legitimately wronged. Amid Reid's many other over-the-deep-end crazy rants. And she has the audacity to ask for sympathy and play the victim now.

. "Tampon Tim" is still out in the media, straining to hold onto the slightest grain of relevancy. But is just fodder for memes from the Right. https://scontent-mia3-3.xx.fbcdn.ne...fpbKZS0TVAxY1uABoiznE-fw&oe=68595614and https://images7.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED384/67dafc0c08ce6.webpand https://images7.memedroid.com/images/UPLOADED305/66b37a006ebda.webpAll funny, but the last one hammers home that Tim Walz is the governor who didn't call in the National Guard when he should have in May 2020, just sat on his hands for 5 days as riots escalaed. And emboldened, Antifa and BLM hen spread and went wild across 600 cities nationwide, killing over 25 people, injuring over 2,000 police, and racking up 3 billion in property damage, looting and burning whole blocks in countless cities. And many of those businesses, and the thousands of jobs they provided, are never coming back. And during the George Floyd riots nationwide, Kamala Harris posted a link to the Minneapolis Freedom Fund, advocating bailing these violent criminals out, the whole time they were looting and rioting, to do even more damage. Trump now in L.A. and elsewhere nationwide, is doing the exact opposite, with preventive law enforcement in cities nationwide, to give the Bolshevik/Left a deterrent from doing it all over again. Which of course, the Democrat-Bolsheviks are having a hissy-fit about . "FASCISM !!"  "CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS !!!" I'm sure the store owners and surrounding suburbs are all breathing a deep sigh of relief that Trump is now president. And that Kamala Harris and Tampon Tim are not in charge, to let all these people's property be looted and burned.

That manifests a certain widespread consciousness of guilt, don't ya think ?

A couple of comments. Trump actually praised Governor Waltz’s response and use of the national guard to the rioting during the George Floyd protests. Trump now just lies and says he activated the national guard. He also set free those that violently attacked and injured law enforcement on January 6th. The Governor earned the Tampon Tim moniker from conservatives for making feminine hygiene available for free in schools to all menstruating students in restrooms. That included girls who identify as boys. So we have a President who lies about activating the national guard and campaigned on seeking revenge vs a governor that has been a true leader for everyone in his state. I have no doubt Waltz would also call a republican governor after such a horrible situation like MN experienced. Trump however made a big show of not calling but instead used the horrific event to insult gov Waltz.
Fair play!

A couple of comments. Trump actually praised Governor Waltz’s response and use of the national guard to the rioting during the George Floyd protests. Trump now just lies and says he activated the national guard. Man... I would DEFINITELY need to see a linked source on that one And I don't mean CNN, Huffingon Post, DailyKos, The Atlantic, MediaMatters, Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, or other well-known propagandist front groups of the Democrat-Bolshevik party. Because EVERYONE in the real world knows that Tim Walz sat on his hands for 5 days, and DIDN'T call the Minnesota National Guard as he should have, allowing the riots to escalate more each night, until Minneapolis rioters burned down an entire police station, and then further burned and looted FIVE SQUARE MILES of downtown Minneapolis, that should never have been allowed to burn. And Tim Walz's wife gleefully as it occurred posted about being able to smell the burning tires of the rioters, cheering them on. And at that point the riots were spreading to 600 cities nationwide, because Tim Walz DIDN'T call the national guard early on, as he should have. If Donald Trump actually did praise Tim Walz deploying his state's Minnesota National Guard, I recall the context being : FINALLY Tim Walz deployed the national guard, as he should have done the first day, to deter the rioting and looting that ended up occurring. And that Tim Walz only deployed the national guard because if he didn't, then president Donald Trump [May 2020] , 5 days in, made clear he would go over Walz's head and deploy them himself at that point. He also set free those that violently attacked and injured law enforcement on January 6th. That's pure propaganda. You KNOW, at least by this point, that at least 90% of the January 6th Capitol protesters were peaceful, did absolutely nothing wrong, and were maliciously prosecuted ONLY as a Biden/Democrat propaganda tool, to intimidate and silence any political opposition after a CLEARLY RIGGED Nov 2020 ELECTION (and I've cited the increasing volume of evidence repeatedly, and just the tip of a growing iceberg of evidence. Starting with the 97% Democrat-donating weaponized FBI suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop in the 2 months before the Nov 2020 election. And the "Twitter Files" Elon Musk released, further proving Twiter and other social media deliberately rigged the election by suppressing evidence, that even 15% of Democrats say they would NOT have voted for Biden in 2020, if they had known the information that was suppressed.) Further, on January 6th 2021 there were at least 20 undercover FBI agents, at least 20 DHS agents, at least 10 DC Metro officers, at least 20 Antifa Salt Lake City activists ALL DISGUISED AS Trump supporters, agents provocateur, deliberately inciting and committing violence themselves. Many of them, despite being identtifiable in Capitol security video and other video and photos, WERE NEVER IDENTIFIED by FBI, WERE NEVER ARRESTED. And of the few cases of violence or vandalism that occurred THESE people, NOT Trump supporters, are the actual criminals. When Trump gave amnesty to the majority of those jailed and prosecuted, it was exactly in this context. They were innocent, and were forced by [ 97% Democrat ] FBI over-charging to confess to crimes they never committed, but were forced to sign confessions to, or face decades in prison due to [ 97% Democrat-voting FBI ] malicious prosecuttion and overcharging. 1100 of the 1500 or so arrested signed these confessions, just to end their Kafka-esque ordeal. And when the 40,000 hours of security was finally released, suppressed by the Democrat Jan 6th Select Committee, suppressed for 2 and a half years for lying Democrat-propaganda purposes, it PROVED THE PROTESTERS' INNOCENCE, and VIRTUALLY ALL WERE RELEASED WITHIN DAYSIn point of fact, Trump did not pardon all of them, a few of them actually did commit violent offenses or vandalism, and these Trump did NOT pardon. But there are dozens of other FBI and other federal agents, clearly videotaped and identifiable, that FBI, despite facial recogition technology that they used to identify every last peaceful ACTUAL Trump supporter they prosecuted. These other people FBI could have identified but never did, have never been identified or prosecuted, because it was THE 97% Democrat-donating Trump-hating FBI's OWN GUYS who incited and committed much of the little violence that occurred, with the clear intent to frame Trump and his supporters. A mentality at the Trump-hating FBI made clear in exposed messages back and forth between James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmih, James Baker, Bruce and Nellie Ohr, Bill Priestap, Andrew Weissmann, and at least 2 dozen others on the top floor of that 97% Democrat FBI. AS mentality at the FBI made CRYSTAL clear. And a mentality shared by the agents involved in tha FBI-staged Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, where 9 of the 12 "dangerous right wing extremists" were FBI agents, in another fake incident where the 97% Democrat FBI was just out to frame Moe, Larry and Curly as some kind of dangerous militant conspiracists. The FBI even creaed the kidnapping plot and provided the getaway van (without which hese 3 dupes couldn' even leave heir own property, le alone kidnap Whitmer) and FBI somehow persuaded these 3 dimwits o join in a plan hey never would have imaagined hemselves. The FBI supervisor of this sting being another Trump-hating FBI agent. Who was then transferred by FBI to Washington DC, to supervise undercover agents hiding among the Trump supporters during the January 6th protests, to frame them too. Gee, what could go wrong? 60% of FBI's 17,000 agents under Biden were devoted to "right wing domestic terrorism threats" (for those caaching up, that's anyone who supports Trump). And 5,000 of hose agents alone were devoted to prosecuting January 6th Capitol protesters, on any contrived charge like "trespassing" or "parading", turned into overcharged "federal crimes" tha bumped them up from a $300 fine for a piddly misdemeanor, into charges of years in prison. Alll hese FBI resources devoted to maliciously persecutting their Republican political opposition, innocen people. And meanwhile, FBI let drug cartels, Chinese, Russian and Iranian agents, human traffickers, and a Fentanyl surge killing 100,000 Americans a year, just run wild. THAT is the full context of your lying Democrat talking point about Trump pardoning "violent" January 6th Trump supporters. The Governor earned the Tampon Tim moniker from conservatives for making feminine hygiene available for free in schools to all menstruating students in restrooms. That included girls who identify as boys. So we have a President who lies about activating the national guard and campaigned on seeking revenge vs a governor that has been a true leader for everyone in his state. I have no doubt Waltz would also call a republican governor after such a horrible situation like MN experienced. Trump however made a big show of not calling but instead used the horrific event to insult gov Waltz. I fail to see where Republicans' "Tampon Tim" nickname is at all misleading. Gov Tim Walz put tampon machines in boys' bathrooms, and since boys don't menstruate, that is absurd and ridiculous for Tim Walz to have done. Often put in bathrooms of elementary and middle school boys who had not even reached puberty yet, to lyingly brainwash boys, CHILDREN, with "woke" leftist transgender propaganda at a young age. That is the full context of THAT false argument you raised. And you didn't put enough context for me to clarify your slanderous point about ICE protests in L.A., on the silly allegation that ICE are somehow "nazis" for arresting criminal illegal aliens who have no right to be in the country in the first place (and the law that Tom Homan often cites, the exact paragraph of immigraation law enforced, cited repeatedly in television interviews. ) They are enforcing decades-long existing U.S. immigration law. Period, the end. And further, since Democrat mayors and governors and judges in many blue states obstruct ICE doing their jobs, by not keeping these already arrested criminal illegals in local jails to turn over to ICE, ICE agents are forced to go into these neighborhoods, apartments, and workplaces, to track them down and arrest them. And a handful of local Democrat officials have been arrested and prosecuted for their obstruction of ICE law enforcement. These are CRIMINAL illegal immigrants, guilty of rape, murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, gang activity, assault, and other violent crimes. And Democrats, insanely, side with these criminals, and against the mothers of the women and children these criminals have raped and killed. Trump didn't campaign on "seeking revenge" on anyone, that is an outrageous lie. (Look up: projection a psychologicaal term, and frequent Democrat scheme. "Projection" is Democrats assuming that Trump/Republicans have the same venal, petty desire to inflict revenge and torment on their political opponents that the Democrats have infliced. They believe we think just like them, we don't, and just want to restore unbiased federal rule of law. Whereas Democrats weaponize federal agencies, and are terrified of receiving the same treatment they have inflicted on Republicans for a least the last 16 years, maybe 20 or 25 years, in the Democrat-weaponized FBI. As is well expressed in the last above political cartoon.) Trump campaigned on fixing a corrupt and broken system that is destroying our country. When a biased reporter asked Trump a deceptive question about if he was seeking revenge, he said his only revenge would be prosperity for everyone.

Trump praised Gov WaltzThat’s from Fox News WB. I know it doesn’t actually matter to you. You rationalize everything with your partisanship. Right or wrong is all connected to party affiliation. You cite conservapedia while bitching about liberal bias and here you try to list any news organization that you thought would cover the story. Trump certainly posted often about going after his political enemies during the campaign. As for allegations by Trump’s toady that writes children’s books depicting Trump as a king, let’s see what the actual evidence is. So far it’s an allegation and looks to me that instead of pursuing any criminal case Patel is just working the unverified allegations for its maximum partisan benefit. This is the political weaponized government Trump wanted and has gotten. One of the first things Patel wanted was a direct line to the Oval Office. He didn’t understand why there wasn’t one before him. An independent FBI is no longer an issue for you is it?
Fair play!

I thought I responded to this already, but I guess not.
Trump and virtually every Republican Senator and House member FOR FIVE YEARS has been critical of then-governor Tim Walz as an irresponsible lunatic who let these riots go out of control and who sat on his hands and let it happen for way too long, until it was too late, let it continue for days escalating, even held back after an entire Minneapolis police precinct was burned down by rioters, while Tim Walz still did nothing to stop the escalating riots. Then the next few nights after, the emboldened leftist mob looted and burned FIVE SQUARE MILES of Minneapolis.
And finally, FINALLY Tim Walz sent in his state's National Guard. And ONLY because President Trump was going to send in National Guard if Tim Walz didn't.
So in the context you try to hide, Trump praised Walz for FINALLY doing what he should have done days before. And it was still too late. Walz's delay emboldened the Soros-funded Democrat-Bolshevik left to spread their Marxist revolution to about 600 other cities nationwide, rioters ultimately injuring over 2,000 police officers, rioters killing 25 people, and racking up between $2 and 3 BILLION in property damage nationwide. Tearing down statues of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and other historic U.S. figures nationwide, burning them, urinating on them, spray-painting hammer-and sickles on them.
But sure, M E M, you bet, Trump had the highest praise for Tim Walz, what an excellent job Walz did calling in the National Guard when he did. No. it was more a case of "It's about frigging time." But the rioting had already spread nationwide, and it was too little too late on Walz's part.
And as I've pointed out many times, in the weeks and months AND YEARS after the nationwide George Floyd riots in at least 600 cities, no one in your piece-of-shit Democrat-Bolshevik party had any criticism of those riots, EVERY DEMOCRAT LEADER cheered it on. Or a best went silent, as the mob went on on tearing down and burning the statues of out nation's heroes in cities nationwide. Did Democrats object? Did they call on the mobs to stop? Did they defend our nation's heroes, who statues these mobs were tearing down and destroying in dozens of cities?
Let's take a look :
NANCY PELOSI: "I don't care about statues..." AYANNA PRESSLEY: "There needs to be unrest in our streets as long as there is unrest in our lives..."
COREY BOOKER: "Get up in the face of some ' congresspeople..." KAMALA HARRIS: "It's going to continue right on up to election day, it will not stop, and it SHOULDN'T stop..."
MAXINE WATERS: "When you see anybody from that administration [ in Trump's first term administration ], in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they're not welcome."
Democrats "defend democracy" by burning it to the ground. To pave the way for the new authoritarian "socialist" / Communist order.

. As I cied earlier in the topic..... . Amid several more breaking stories, exposing just how deceitful and evil the Democrat party has been, not just to the country as a whole, but even to their own Democrat voters and Democrat campaign donors... DAVID PLOUFFE AND OTHER DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS REVEAL INTERNAL POLLS *NEVER* SHOWED HARRIS WAS AHEAD, SO THEY POSTED FAKE POLLS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE SHE WAS They KNEW Kamala Harris was nowhere near winning, so they just faked it all, faked polls saying she was winning, to scam the Kamala campaign's own supporters. They told small and large Harris campaign donors, We're very close, and if you just give our campaign a little more, we can push her over the top. That they KNEW was absolutely untrue. And then they hosed away that record 1.4 billion in campaign funds (very suspiciously raised in just 15 weeks, much of it likely from laundered dark money), hosing it away to the likes of super-rich celebrities Oprah, Taylor Swift, Al Sharpton and others. Wasting grassroots Democrat campaign donor cash to throw exhorbitant party bashes, to have a good time at an enormous waste of cash, partying as rich fat cats, at the expense of small middle class donors. The grassroots Democrat base, who since 2020 behave like the French Revolution, who mindlessly and ironically voted for and funded a Marie Antoinette. For an aristocratic Democrat elite that at every stage lied to their loyal voters and campaign donors. The Democrats are as evil to their own DNC party staff, and in their deception of their largest and most loyal Democrat party donors, as they are to Republicans, to Democrat dissenters, and the rest of the American people. And now this, further proving that evil abuse of even the Democrat party's most loyal donors: THE DEMOCRAT SPAM MACHINE How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns. by ADAM BONICA, AUG 03, 2025
The digital deluge is a familiar annoyance for anyone on a Democratic fundraising list. It's a relentless cacophony of bizarre texts and emails, each one more urgent than the last, promising that your immediate $15 donation is the only thing standing between democracy and the abyss.
The main rationale offered for this fundraising frenzy is that it's a necessary evil—that the tactics, while unpleasant, are brutally effective at raising the money needed to win. But an analysis of the official FEC filings tells a very different story. The fundraising model is not a brutally effective tool for the party; it is a financial vortex that consumes the vast majority of every dollar it raises.
We all have that one obscure skill we’ve inadvertently maxed out. Mine happens to be navigating the labyrinth of campaign finance data. So, after documenting the spam tactics in a previous article, I told myself I’d just take a quick look to see who was behind them and where the money was going.
That "quick look" immediately pulled me in. The illusion of a sprawling grassroots movement, with its dozens of different PAC names, quickly gave way to a much simpler and more alarming reality. It only required pulling on a single thread—tracing who a few of the most aggressive PACs were paying—to watch their entire manufactured world unravel. What emerged was not a diverse network of activists, but a concentrated ecosystem built to serve the firm at its center: Mothership Strategies.
(A repo with all the code needed to replicate this analysis is available for download here. A data visualization of the findings is at the bottom of this post.)
FROM PARTY INSIDERS TO EXTRACTION ENGINEERS
To understand Mothership's central role, one must understand its origins. The firm was founded in 2014 by senior alumni of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC): its former digital director, Greg Berlin, and deputy digital director, Charles Starnes. During their tenure at the DCCC, they helped pioneer the fundraising model that now dominates Democratic inboxes—a high-volume strategy that relies on emotionally charged, often hyperbolic appeals to compel immediate donations. This model, sometimes called "churn and burn," prioritizes short-term revenue over long-term donor relationships.
After leaving the DCCC, Berlin and Starnes effectively privatized this playbook, building a business around the party's most aggressive tactics and turning an internal strategy into a fundraising powerhouse for the Democratic Party—or so it might seem on the surface.
They became the operational heart of a sprawling nexus of interconnected political action committees, many of which they helped create and which now serve as their primary clients. These are not a diverse collection of grassroots groups; they are a tightly integrated network that functions primarily to funnel funds to Mothership. Their names are likely familiar from the very texts and emails that flood inboxes: Progressive Turnout Project, Stop Republicans, and End Citizens United to name a few.
The relationship between the firm and this network is cemented by blatant self-dealing. The most glaring example is End Citizens United. In 2015, just one year after founding their consulting firm, Mothership principals Greg Berlin and Charles Starnes also co-founded this PAC. It quickly became one of their largest and most reliable clients, a perfect circle of revenue generation that blurs the line between vendor and client.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
The core defense of these aggressive fundraising tactics rests on a single claim: they are brutally effective. The FEC data proves this is a fallacy. An examination of the money flowing through the Mothership network reveals a system designed not for political impact, but for enriching the consultants who operate it.
To understand the scale of this operation, consider the total amount raised. Since 2018, this core network of Mothership-linked PACs has raised approximately $678 million from individual donors. (This number excludes money raised by the firm's other clients, like candidate campaigns, focusing specifically on the interconnected PACs at the heart of this system.) Of that total fundraising haul, $159 million was paid directly to Mothership Strategies for consulting fees, accounting for the majority of the $282 million Mothership has been paid by all its clients combined.
But the firm's direct cut is only part of the story. The "churn and burn" fundraising model is immensely expensive to operate. Sending millions of texts and emails requires massive spending on digital infrastructure. For instance, FEC filings show this network paid $22.5 million to a single vendor, Message Digital LLC, a firm that specializes in text message delivery.
The remaining hundreds of millions disappeared into a maze of self-reported categories: $150 million to consulting/fundraising, $70 million to salaries and payroll. There are some disbursements to what seem to be legitimate advocacy and organizing–for instance Progressive Turnout Project reports paying Shawmut Services $19 million for canvassing. However, most of the unclassifiable expenditures appear to be administrative costs or media buys that feed back into the fundraising machine itself.
HOW MUCH OF THE MONEY RAISED BY THESE GROUPS ACTUALLY MAKES IT TO THE CANDIDATES AND PARTY COMMITTEES?
After subtracting these massive operational costs—the payments to Mothership, the fees for texting services, the cost of digital ads and list rentals—the final sum delivered to candidates and committees is vanishingly small. My analysis of the network's FEC disbursements reveals that, at most, $11 million of the $678 million raised from individuals has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees.
But here's the number that should end all debate:
This represents a fundraising efficiency rate of just 1.6 percent.
Here's what that number means: for every dollar a grandmother in Iowa donates believing she's saving democracy, 98 cents goes to consultants and operational costs. Just pennies reach actual campaigns.
WHY THE PARTY LOOKS THE OTHER WAY
This parasitic ecosystem could not thrive without the tacit approval of the Democratic establishment. The relationship between the Mothership network and the official party is not adversarial; it is deeply symbiotic.
The firm's founders are, as noted, alumni of the DCCC. They didn't just bring their contacts; they brought the "churn and burn" playbook, which was developed and honed inside the party's own campaign arm. They simply privatized the party's dirtiest tactics. This is not a rogue operation; it is an outgrowth.
While the network keeps most of the money it raises, it maintains the relationship by funneling a small portion back to the party's central committees. Of the paltry $11 million that makes it to campaigns, approximately half goes to the DNC, DCCC, and DSCC. This provides the party with a trickle of revenue and plausible deniability, allowing it to benefit from the fundraising without taking direct responsibility for the deceptive tactics. In return, the network gains a veneer of official legitimacy.
The infection runs deep. The firm's client list extends far beyond the PAC network to include the party's own heavyweights, like the House Majority PAC, and high-profile, establishment-backed candidates such as former DNC Chair Jaime Harrison. The distinction between the party and this network dissolves with one final fact: the Democratic establishment itself is a client, actively hiring the firm at the heart of the vortex.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST CLEAN HOUSE
The evidence from federal election filings permits only one conclusion: the “necessary evil” defense is a lie. A fundraising model with a 1.6% efficiency rate is not a pragmatic fundraising strategy.
The financial waste, staggering as it is, pales beside the deeper damage. Every fabricated deadline, every manipulative text, every email screaming that democracy will end without your $15—each one burns through something more valuable than money: trust. The party that claims to defend democracy is systematically deceiving the very people who believe in it most.
None of this, as far as I can tell, is illegal. But since when is legality the bar? The question isn’t whether the party can tolerate this parasitic ecosystem. It’s whether it should. And the data screams the answer: when consultants pocket $282 million, it reveals a system working exactly as designed—just not for Democrats.
The prescription is simple. Cut ties with firms and any vendors that they do business with that treat donors as marks. Establish and enforce efficiency standards. Demand that fundraising operations deliver actual value to campaigns, not just commissions to consultants.
Most crucially: Recognize that Democratic donors deserve the same honesty the party demands from everyone else.
The party faces a choice. Continue feeding the vortex, or shut it down. Continue enriching consultants who’ve perverted its message, or reclaim its integrity. Continue treating supporters as ATMs, or start treating them as partners.
A party that prides itself on taking the high road doesn’t get to make exceptions for its own fundraising. Not when the cost is this clear. Not when the damage is this deep.
The numbers don’t lie. The Mothership vortex has consumed enough.
Shut it down.
Out of all they fleece from loyal donors in fundraising, only 1.6% goes to the causes these donors actually contributing to support. Any other organization than the DNC, these people would be in jail. But because they're Democrats... perfectly okay ! How evil does the Democrat party have to be, before the villagers come with torches and pitchforks to tear down Castle Frankenstein?

. And as I posted before.... . CORE DEMOCRAT GROUPS ARE PREPARING TO BE TARGETED BY TRUMP ADMINISTRATION April 14, 2025 | by Steve Peoples, The Associated Press -
NEW YORK (AP) — As President Donald Trump pushes the historical boundaries of executive power, some of the Democratic Party’s core political institutions are preparing for the possibility that the federal government may soon launch criminal investigations against them.
The Democrats’ dominant national fundraising platform, ActBlue, and the party’s largest protest group, Indivisible, are working with their attorneys for just such a scenario, according to officials within both organizations. Trump’s top political allies have suggested both groups should face prosecution.
Other Democratic allies are planning for Trump-backed legal crackdowns as well. Wary of antagonizing the president, most prefer to stay anonymous for now.
This year alone, Indivisible groups have hosted more than 1,000 protests covering every state in the nation. The group was a key organizer in the recent Hands Off! protests that attracted hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
Trump top adviser and billionaire Elon Musk has publicly condemned Indivisible as “criminals.”
Musk has also called on the FBI to investigate ActBlue, alleging that the Democratic Party’s main fundraising platform has skirted campaign finance laws and allowed foreign nationals to make illegal contributions to Democratic candidates.
Meanwhile, Democratic candidates are relying on ActBlue to fund their campaigns as never before.
Donors have given more than $400 million to Democratic candidates through ActBlue over the first three months of the year, the organization told the AP. The fundraising haul represents the most money raised in any first quarter in ActBlue’s two-decade history.

It can't happen soon enough. And the Bolsheviks are running scared. Democrats' corrupt money-laundering dark money ActBlue fundraising machine is also heading for a reckoning.
