He’s the snake that slithers his way into conversations by pretending to be a Republican while subverting President Donald Trump’s agenda along the way. He’s one of the reasons Trump’s first term faced headwinds even with GOP control of the House, Senate, and White House.

But as bad as he is, Senator John Thune would be worse if he is selected as McConnell’s replacement. The secret ballot to determine who will lead the Senate next year is happening Sunday.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I will explore why Thune is so bad, why Senator John Cornyn is almost as bad as Thune, and why Senator Rick Scott needs to be the guy. Scott isn’t perfect. Far from it. His embrace of Red Flag Gun Laws is conspicuous and concerning. But compared to his opponents, he’s exponentially better.

Trump Won, So What’s Next for Us? https://americanconservativemovement.com/trump-won-so-whats-next-for-us/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/trump-won-so-whats-next-for-us/#respond Thu, 07 Nov 2024 04:29:07 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/trump-won-so-whats-next-for-us/ Donald Trump’s historic second (THIRD!) victory in a presidential race has sent shockwaves across the globe. Patriots are thrilled and oftentimes gloating about the ultimate middle finger to the ruling class and their corporate media lapdogs.

But there’s still work to be done. In fact, there’s MORE work to be done now that we’ve been blessed with this opportunity. It’s time for patriots to take advantage of the chances we missed in his first term.

The JD Rucker Show will be adjusting based on this newfound opportunity. Every other patriot in America should do the same.

Final Reminder of the Three Issues Driving This Election https://americanconservativemovement.com/final-reminder-of-the-three-issues-driving-this-election/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/final-reminder-of-the-three-issues-driving-this-election/#respond Mon, 04 Nov 2024 19:12:03 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/final-reminder-of-the-three-issues-driving-this-election/ (Substack)—In case you hadn’t noticed, tensions are high. Americans are at each other’s throats — sometimes literally — as we approach the finale of the most insane election cycle in history.

The sitting President ended his bid for a second term. His opponent was charged with dozens of made up crimes. Corporate media has become apoplectic in their coverage of the news. A presidential candidate was nearly assassinated. Twice.

But through the maelstrom of crazy circumstances remains a very stark reality: Our nation is in big trouble facing existential threats at a scale not seen since the Civil War.

I am confident in three things.

  • Donald Trump will win both the popular vote and the Electoral College in a landslide — the polls are, as always, being manipulated
  • The UniParty Swamp, Deep State, and Globalist Elite Cabal are doing everything in their power to steal the election, gaslight Americans, and control the fate of the world
  • God’s absolute supremacy means He will choose who is in the Oval Office next January

That last note will certainly ruffle feathers. Even Bible-believing Christians might take offense for many reasons. Some take this stance as not believing in free will. But my worldview is what drives me to work harder knowing that I do not know my place in His plan and therefore all I need to do is fight the good fight with all I have.

For that reason, I want to write my final column ahead of the election as a reminder of the three issues driving voters.

Yes, It’s the Economy

James Carville was right when he said, “It’s the economy, stupid.” This is normally the most pressing issue deciding elections at the federal level. Ironically, it doesn’t always work at the state, county, and local level as we’ve seen with the most desolate voters repeating their mistakes for decades in blue areas.

Unfortunately, the campaigns haven’t put the appropriate level of effort into disseminating their actual economic plans. Trump mentions tariffs often and promises to cut taxes but his campaign should have explained the inflation issue better. They had an opportunity to educate Americans on the Inflation Reduction Act and remind them that Kamala Harris was the deciding vote.

I’m not a campaign advisor for a reason. I’m sure well-paid analysts and experts would tell me that the messaging behind inflation would be too complex if they dove into the details, but I believe in this digital world it wouldn’t have been hard to drive the message home. For whatever reason, there’s still too much emphasis on :30 second pump up pitches and 1:00 minute attack ads. Maybe it works, but I believe with the right messaging the details could be brought to light.

Regardless, the economy is a clear advantage for Trump and if we need a final day message, it should be that Kamala Harris has only promised more of the same as we’ve seen for the last four years.

The Invasion

The border crisis is apparent to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear, so there’s no need to dwell on this issue. We are being invaded and it is going to destroy this nation if it’s not stopped immediately.

The Trump campaign messaging on this has been solid. The only thing I would have added is more of an emphasis on an unavoidable fact: American citizens struggling in urban areas are the most negatively impacted by the border crisis.

It’s funny that the one time an issue truly affects the “underprivileged” is the only time Democrats are unwilling to talk about it. They’ve said climate change harmed minorities more. They said Trump’s tax cuts harmed the poor. They said just about everything is racist, misogynistic, transphobic, or otherwise detrimental to a protected class. But they won’t admit the border invasion does the most harm to the people they pretend to protect.

This is unambiguously a huge argument for Trump.

Abortion

I’ll keep this one short because I’m one of those radical pro-life purists. Yes, I want abortion banned altogether, but I know that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

I also know that the chances of any abortion legislation hitting the next president’s desk are nearly nil. The hypothetical nationwide abortion ban that Trump keeps getting asked about will never happen and, contrary to Project 2025’s wishes, no Republican in DC is seriously considering it. Trump said he’d veto it if it magically appeared.

The hypothetical codification of Roe v. Wade would only hit Kamala’s desk if Democrats control both the House and Senate and then the Senate ejects the filibuster. The massive election shenanigans required for that would be at a scale I do not believe Democrats are willing to use. I could be wrong, but I hope I’m not.

This means that all of those voters, mostly Democrats, who are voting based on the abortion issue are putting a nothingburger on a pedestal. This election will have very little impact on their rights to murder preborn babies. As we’ve seen since Roe v Wade was overturned, it’s not like abortions have been reduced. They’ve risen.

Conclusion

It’s in God’s hands. We have to do our part, vote, get the word out, and hope that we make it through this cycle unscathed. But as always, we still have to get the Word out by spreading the Gospel.

I can’t wait for this election to be over.

His chances of defeating Kamala Harris go up every day with people like Joe Biden and Mark Cuban reinforcing the lead.

But Team Trump has a warning: Don’t get complacent, don’t get overconfident. There’s still a lot of work to do over the next four days. Watch what I said on the latest episode of The JD Rucker Show.

“Too Big to Rig” Appears to Be Happening https://americanconservativemovement.com/too-big-to-rig-appears-to-be-happening/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/too-big-to-rig-appears-to-be-happening/#respond Thu, 31 Oct 2024 21:08:19 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/too-big-to-rig-appears-to-be-happening/ The closer we get to Election Day, the more confident I become that Donald Trump et al have secured a victory that is “too big to rig.” We know the UniParty Swamp, Deep State, and Globalist Elite Cabal will do everything in their power to prevent that from happening, but by golly it certainly seems like the momentum is there for the good guys.

It’s not a time to get complacent. We don’t have it “in the bag” just yet. But there’s room for hopefulness in an otherwise dreadful election cycle that has divided the nation in ways hitherto unseen.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, we explored various aspects of voter fraud. This is a good thing because in 2020 nobody was talking about it or really even looking or it. This time, we’re watching. Hopefully, that will translate in a major win for America.

Here Are 8 Major Election Developments That Everyone Needs to Know About https://americanconservativemovement.com/here-are-8-major-election-developments-that-everyone-needs-to-know-about/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/here-are-8-major-election-developments-that-everyone-needs-to-know-about/#respond Thu, 31 Oct 2024 08:32:55 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/here-are-8-major-election-developments-that-everyone-needs-to-know-about/ (The Economic Collapse Blog)—Can you believe that we are less than a week away from Election Day?  Over 57 million Americans have already voted, and in some states more than half of the total expected vote is already in.  So it may already be too late for a last minute surprise to alter the outcome of the election.  In 2020, Democrats absolutely dominated the early voting period, but in 2024 things are very close between Democrats and Republicans.

Is this an indication that a “red landslide” is coming, or are Republicans simply shifting votes that would have been cast on Election Day into the early voting period?  We will soon find out.  In any event, the following are 8 major election developments that everyone needs to know about…

#1 The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the state of Virginia can purge approximately 1,600 non-citizens from its voter rolls

The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Virginia to move forward with its removal of roughly 1,600 alleged noncitizens from its voter rolls just days before the 2024 election.

The high court granted a request from state officials to pause a lower court order that blocked Virginia from continuing its voter removal program that was launched in August, exactly 90 days before Election Day. A provision of the National Voter Registration Act requires states to complete programs aimed at purging ineligible voters from registration lists up to 90 days before federal elections.

#2 There were reports that officials in Bucks County, Pennsylvania had been turning away on-demand mail ballot voters early.  Now a judge in Bucks Country has extended on-demand mail ballot voting until Friday, and this is considered to be a major victory for the Trump campaign…

Bucks County Judge Jeffrey Trauger has ordered the Bucks County Board of Elections to extend its on-demand mail-in ballot deadline until “the close of business” on Friday, Nov. 1.

The Wednesday afternoon ruling stems from a lawsuit filed several hours earlier by former President Donald Trump’s campaign and other state and national GOP groups claiming Bucks County illegally turned away voters.

The filing with the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas, posted online late Wednesday morning, alleges that the county violated the state’s election laws by not allowing some voters to use the “on-demand mail-ballot” option in the final hours of the mail-in ballot application at 5 p.m. Oct. 29.

#3 In Wisconsin, turnout in the conservative counties of Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington is far higher than turnout in the liberal bastion of Dane County…

The conservative “WOW” counties of Waukesha, Ozaukee, and Washington have increased their turnout advantage over liberal Dane County up to 12.16%. Dane’s turnout advantage going into Election Day 2020 was 0.9%. This represents a 13% turnout swing compared to ‘20.

#4 In Arizona, Republicans are doing a much better job of turning out “low propensity voters” than Democrats are…

A look at AZ voter frequency scores shows that Democrats are trailing Republicans by a couple of points in the zero, one, and two buckets, turning out more of their 3/3 voters.

It’s not an excellent combination for available votes down the stretch, so Republicans are likely to outvote Democrats by 300,000+.

#5 Abortion is on the ballot in both Arizona and Nevada, and this was supposed to be a major advantage for Kamala Harris in those states.  But it turns out that vast numbers of pro-abortion voters are going to vote for Trump anyway

While an Washington Post-Schar School poll conducted in October found that 68 percent of voters in Arizona and 80 percent of voters in Nevada say they planned to support their state’s abortion referendum, the same poll showed Harris narrowly behind Trump in Arizona and tied in Nevada. Harris’s support among likely voters in the poll was 46 percent in Arizona to Trump’s 49 percent, and they both had 48 percent support in Nevada.

Meanwhile, Trump — who has claimed credit for Roe’s reversal — has been working to assuage the concerns of independent and Republican voters who support abortion rights. In recent weeks, the former president has promised to veto a national abortion ban, after repeatedly refusing to make such a pledge. While he has maintained that each state should choose its own abortion laws, he said in a recent town hall geared toward women voters that many of the current bans are “too tough.”

Republican and independent voters who plan to split their ticket on abortion — voting for an abortion referendum and for Trump — said they were willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt on the issue, with some feeling reassured by his recent promises not to crack down further on abortion.

#6 As I discussed yesterday, it appears that the Harris campaign may be giving up on the swing state of North Carolina.  So far, Democrats in the state have cast over 300,000 fewer votes than they did at the same stage of the 2020 early voting period…

According to AdImpact, a political intelligence firm, on Monday the Harris-Walz campaign reserved $2.7 million worth of ads in North Carolina for the last stretch of the campaign, only to turn around and kill more than $2 million of its reservations on Tuesday. Though Harris is following through on a scheduled Raleigh rally on Wednesday morning — while Trump is holding his own event in Rocky Mount, NC — her campaign managers’ hopes of winning North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes have likely plunged as daily updates of early voting numbers continue to paint a grim picture of her prospects in the Tar Heel State.

The 2020 vs 2024 contrast in early voting patterns is striking. Compared to the same time four years ago, North Carolina Democrats have cast 341,000 fewer votes, while Republicans have cast 9,000 more, noted Andy Jackson of the Raleigh-based John Locke Foundation. Aside from the party mix, North Carolina is also seeing lower turnout among two traditional Democratic voter blocs: young people and blacksIn 2020, 92% of the state’s black voters backed Biden. Across the country, however, black support of Trump is surging.

#7 A television station in Pennsylvania is apologizing for broadcasting “randomly generated test results” that were meant to “help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night”…

Test results for the upcoming November 5 general election mistakenly appeared on WNEP-TV early Sunday evening during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix.

Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error by WNEP that they did.

The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night.

#8 It turns out that the incendiary devices that were used to set ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington on fire had a pro-Palestinian message inscribed on them

Ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington were set on fire with incendiary devices early Monday in what authorities believe are connected incidents, police said.

The devices used in the arson incidents carried markings with the expression “Free Gaza,” two sources familiar with the ongoing investigation told ABC News.

Sadly, I believe that this is just the beginning of the chaos that is coming.

November 5th may be the end of the campaign, but it will also be the beginning of a very dark chapter in our history.

There is going to be such an outpouring of negative emotion in the aftermath of this election, and whoever emerges as the winner is going to be facing crisis after crisis.

For Some Reason MSNBC Is No Longer Mentioning the Word “Garbage” https://americanconservativemovement.com/for-some-reason-msnbc-is-no-longer-mentioning-the-word-garbage/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/for-some-reason-msnbc-is-no-longer-mentioning-the-word-garbage/#respond Wed, 30 Oct 2024 16:06:52 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/for-some-reason-msnbc-is-no-longer-mentioning-the-word-garbage/ Give CNN credit. They at least mentioned Joe Biden’s viral “garbage” comments in a couple of articles. Granted, they were highlighting the Harris-Walz campaign’s attempts to do damage control for Dementia Joe’s remarks, but at least they didn’t try to hide the viral story from their audience altogether.

MSNBC… not so much.

The Democrats’ propaganda machine in cable news has exactly one story about Biden’s remarks on their website a day after they dropped, and they didn’t even drop that story until after the Wednesday morning traffic rush. This is a far cry from their massive coverage of both Donald Trump saying America was becoming a “garbage can” last week and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico at the Madison Square Garden event last weekend.

MSNBC has mentioned one, the other, or both in 43 articles over the last seven days.

Here’s a chronological search on msnbc.com for “garbage”:

MSNBC

As I noted in a clip for today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, they hate me, they hate you, they hate Donald Trump, and they hate the United States of America.

Soros Makes Another Move to Control American Media — Where Are the Rich Conservatives? https://americanconservativemovement.com/soros-makes-another-move-to-control-american-media-where-are-the-rich-conservatives/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/soros-makes-another-move-to-control-american-media-where-are-the-rich-conservatives/#respond Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:44:31 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/soros-makes-another-move-to-control-american-media-where-are-the-rich-conservatives/ In a blatant display of political maneuvering, the Biden-Harris administration has hastened George Soros’s purchase of Audacy, a behemoth media conglomerate comprising over 200 radio stations across 40 markets. While Republicans are rightfully outraged, one can’t help but wonder why rich Republicans aren’t following suit in utilizing similar out-of-the-box strategies to sway public opinion.

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) recently took to his pen, sending an urgent letter to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel on October 10. He demanded clarity on why the commission expedited this deal with a Soros-backed nonprofit mere weeks before Election Day. How can we trust an agency that seems ready to bypass national security reviews for foreign-funded purchases?

Other Republicans like Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) have joined the chorus decrying this politically charged decision — which was allegedly made along party lines in a troubling 3-2 vote.

But let’s face it; nobody expects the FCC to reverse course here. As Soros extends his reach deeper into media just as we approach what promises to be a tight race in 2024, conservatives are understandably concerned about what this means for our political landscape.

“What you now have is a left-wing Looney Tune who has access to millions of people in every market in the United States of America,” said David D. Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group. “That’s scary.”

Indeed it is! For too long, conservative voices have been marginalized or outright persecuted within mainstream media channels—something only amplified by moves like these from unaccountable billionaires wielding their financial power without remorse.

Yet there appears little unity among conservatives regarding how best to respond. Some propose that megadonors should mimic Soros’s aggressive investment strategies rather than relying solely on traditional methods that leave them vulnerable and unheard.

Scott Walter—the president of Capital Research Center—echoes sentiments reminiscent of late journalist Andrew Breitbart when he asked, “What is the art of the conservative billionaire?”

He further emphasizes, “Soros, by contrast, makes big investments like this huge radio play. If conservative donors don’t invest more, the damage to our country’s culture will only worsen.”

The reality remains stark; money talks but so does influence through diverse platforms—and trusting adversarial outlets isn’t viable for effectively disseminating conservative messages either.

David D. Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, said, “There are four places where you can have a voice in today’s marketplace: internet, radio, TV and newspaper.

“So the simple question is if I was standing in front of every billionaire in United States right now I would say ‘Do you want to have a voice put out your philosophical perspective?’”

“If the answer is yes, then OK here’s how do that. They have decide: Do they really want just sit their money put it nonprofit someplace? And then they lament fact Democrats control everything.”

For now at least many conservative benefactors still cling tightly onto hopes pinned upon Washington politicians fighting valiantly for their agenda—a misguided notion given how often these elected representatives seem all too willing to capitulate under liberal pressure instead of making principled stands against such encroachments as those brought forth by George Soros.

As disillusionment mounts among frustrated conservatives watching yet another election cycle unfold under unfavorable media circumstances, perhaps it’s time they look towards embracing winning plays rather than remaining content merely playing defense.

Ken Paxton Demands FEC Change Donations Rules After Exposing ActBlue’s Foreign Influence Scandal https://americanconservativemovement.com/ken-paxton-demands-fec-change-donations-rules-after-exposing-actblues-foreign-influence-scandal/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/ken-paxton-demands-fec-change-donations-rules-after-exposing-actblues-foreign-influence-scandal/#respond Mon, 21 Oct 2024 22:56:01 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/ken-paxton-demands-fec-change-donations-rules-after-exposing-actblues-foreign-influence-scandal/ This is a bombshell, albeit a few months too late. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sent a request to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) to change rules following his office’s nearly year-long investigation to straw donations made through left-wing donations processor ActBlue.

According to Paxton, foreign money as well as domestic money that is greater than the legal limits are being funneled through “straw donations” to enrich Democrat campaigns and leftist causes.

As he noted on 𝕏:

Our investigation into ActBlue has uncovered facts indicating that bad actors can illegally interfere in American elections by disguising political donations.

It is imperative that the FEC close off the avenues we have identified by which foreign contributions or contributions in excess of legal limits could be unlawfully funneled to political campaigns, bypassing campaign finance regulations and compromising our electoral system.

I am calling on the FEC to immediately begin rulemaking to secure our elections from any criminal actors exploiting these vulnerabilities.

Here’s the news story from Bethany Blankley at The Center Square:

AG Paxton: Texas Investigation Into ActBlue Uncovers Suspicious Donations

(The Center Square) – A nearly year-long investigation into ActBlue, a Democratic Party online donation platform, alleges a large number of suspicious donations have been made, resulting in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton petitioning the Federal Election Commission to get involved.

On Monday, Paxton petitioned the FEC to consider implementing new regulations to prevent straw donations from being made on online political fundraising platforms.

Since launching the investigation, Paxton said it’s been publicly reported that potentially fraudulent transactions have occurred on political committee online platforms.

“Certain platforms appear to facilitate straw donor transactions, where a contributor disguises his identity by attributing his contribution to another, unaware person,” the petition states.

Alleged straw donations are being made through the use of prepaid credit cards, which he says “are a favorite tool of fraudsters.”

Paxton’s office launched an investigation into ActBlue in December to determine if the platform’s operations were compliant with all applicable laws. In response to the investigation, Act Blue implemented a new measure in August requiring donors using credit cards to provide “CVV” codes. Paxton says this alone isn’t enough to prevent straw political donations from being made.

The OAG’s investigation says it found a large number of suspicious donations that were made “through obscured identities and untraceable means,” necessitating FEC action.

Through the use of prepaid cards it “appears that straw donations are systematically being made using false identities, through untraceable payment methods,” Paxton said.

Texas’ FEC petition includes partially redacted findings from the OAG’s investigation and recommends that the FEC implement regulations to close fundraising loopholes “that jeopardize American election integrity.” The FEC previously considered implementing such regulations, which ActBlue vocally opposed.

ActBlue’s opposition “is no longer tenable” in light of Texas’ investigation, Paxton said. “If not corrected by the FEC, bad actors can – with trivial ease – illegally funnel foreign money into American elections, exceed political contribution limits, and more.”

ActBlue says it’s raised more than $15.8 billion online since 2004.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, it says “6.9 million unique donors gave over 31 million contributions to 18,396 campaigns and organizations, totaling over $1.5 billion.”

“This quarter was the largest in ActBlue history,” it said.

Donors gave small amounts totaling $4.2 million to pro-abortion organizations in the quarter, a more than 208% increase from Q3 of 2020. They also gave small amounts totaling more than $5 million to pro-gun control groups, a 48% increase from the same period in 2020, it says.

ActBlue notes that 67.4% of all contributions were made with a saved payment method or digital wallet; 71.8% were made from a mobile device, a 14.8% increase from the third fiscal quarter of 2020.

“The record-breaking surge of small-dollar donations in Q3 2024 has clearly demonstrated the power of grassroots energy in shaping America’s political landscape,” ActBlue said. “As the Democratic Party heads into the final stretch of the campaign, these contributions are fueling races across the country, from local contests to the presidential election. Democrats are positioned to fight for victory in November, driven by this commitment and enthusiasm.”

Last month, U.S. House Oversight Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. raised concerns with the Treasury Secretary that ActBlue was being used to evade campaign finance laws, The Center Square reported.

The federal and Texas investigations were launched after U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, demanded answers from the FEC in April 2023 about ActBlue’s “schemes to garner illegal campaign donations.”

Rubio cited reports saying that “numerous individuals, including senior citizens, have purportedly donated to ActBlue thousands of times a year” but many “had no idea that their names and addresses were being used to give thousands of dollars in political donations, with most of these ‘donations’ going to ActBlue. It should come as no surprise that ActBlue serves as a vessel for fraud, considering the intentional lack of security engrained within their donation processes and systems.”

Over the last several months, ActBlue has argued that small donations represent “a new standard for grassroots political engagement. Donors from across the nation showed incredible generosity and a new sense of energy and momentum in electing Democrats up and down the ballot.”

Does Donald Trump REALLY Have This Election “In the Bag”? https://americanconservativemovement.com/does-donald-trump-really-have-this-election-in-the-bag/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/does-donald-trump-really-have-this-election-in-the-bag/#respond Mon, 21 Oct 2024 16:55:49 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/does-donald-trump-really-have-this-election-in-the-bag/ No. Stop it. Remember 2020. Remember the tens of millions of illegal aliens, 14% of whom are apparently registering to vote. Remember that while most states can report results in less than a day, for some reason battleground states like Pennsylvania and Georgia are incapable of reporting for days or even WEEKS after the election.

A popular podcaster told me last week that I need to be more positive on my show and in my newsletter. I get it. People love to be filled with hope and my brand of realistic analysis doesn’t always fit the bill. But on the other hand I’m also not a fearmongering peddler of unhinged doom and gloom meant to terrify my viewers, listeners, and readers. If I did either then my channel would likely have 10x or more subscribers. But that’s just not the goal.

The Globalist Elite Cabal and their minions in the UniParty Swamp are going to do everything they can to steal this election. The 2020 election was stolen (as were many of the 2022 elections) but the shenanigans of the past are infinitesimal compared to what is currently being unleashed for the 2024 election.

For us, this election is about preserving the future of the nation by establishing proper America First policies today. But as much as we think our incentives are high, the incentives of those fighting us are much higher because they’re personal. People like Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, and members of the Military Industrial Complex could lose everything if Trump is elected. For them, there is no limit to what they’ll do to cover up their sins.

This is why I’m not buying into projections or predictions showing Trump winning the Electoral College by a landslide. As he often says, we need to pretend like he’s up by one point in every race. We have to assume that literally every vote counts because some may be counted multiple times while others might not get counted at all. The notion of “too big to rig” must become a reality. There can be no complacency.

We fight to win. We fight to save our nation.

It’s all in God’s hands, but that doesn’t mean we’re just supposed to sit back and let it happen. We have responsibilities and we do not know our role in His plan. We know we must fight the good fight and be as ready as possible for whatever is to come.

On today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show, I’ll be explaining why I don’t buy into the notion that Trump has a 93% chance of winning the election. Do I believe he’s going to get the most legal votes from United States citizens? Absolutely. But as Joseph Stalin allegedly said, “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”

Also on today’s show:

  • 60 Minutes makes a triple joke with their statement about the deceitful Kamala Harris interview edit and none of them were funny.
  • Nikki Haley is reportedly talking about joining Team Trump. If she wants to help campaign then that’s fine but if she’s going to be part of the next administration then I’m out.
  • The economy is bad. It’s very bad. And fixing it isn’t going to be swift and easy like it was for Trump and the Republicans in 2017.
  • Rumors are circulating (sort of) that Kamala Harris made campaign manager Julie Chavez cry over skipping the Al Smith Dinner. Uncorroborated, but it passes the smell test.
  • There are four (and possibly five) prominent Democrats who secretly want Kamala to lose.
  • Elon Musk – I still don’t trust him but he seems to be on the right side for this election so I’m withholding criticism for now. His latest comment on defending free speech is spot on.

I’ll cover these and more on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show at 11am Pacific. Also, on Monday and Tuesday ONLY, my daughter’s charter school fundraiser is happening. Please consider buying popcorn today or tomorrow. I can’t say I know if it’s any good since I haven’t tried it but I know it’s for a good cause!

Pray for and work for the best. In the meantime, here are today’s trending links…
