Daily Broadside | Make Biden Play By The New Rules

I used to read National Review and Rich Lowry regularly, but they lost me after they published their “Against Trump” issue and started asking me to pay to read their stuff. Still, I’m on their mailing list and will occasionally click over. On Wednesday I found myself agreeing with Lowry’s editorial.

Special counsel Robert Hur found that there was enough evidence to charge Joe Biden with a crime, yet he didn’t.

As we know, Hur concluded that a jury would probably find that Biden didn’t have criminal intent, although he stipulated during his congressional hearing a couple of weeks ago that a reasonable juror might conclude that Biden was guilty.

If this wasn’t an outlandish decision on Hur’s part, neither was it inevitable. Clearly, the fact that recommending charges against Biden would have been a thermonuclear political event, potentially affecting the election outcome, helped stay Hur’s hand. He could have gone by the strict letter of the law but allowed prudential considerations — again, not unreasonably — to play a role.

The ongoing bout of civil cases and criminal indictments against Donald Trump and, soon enough, a criminal trial raise the question: Why, if Trump wins election, should his Justice Department accept Hur’s judgment? Why wouldn’t it simply take Hur’s report and fashion it into an indictment of former president Biden?

After all, if there’s anything we’ve learned recently, it’s that no one is above the law.

Since there are now new rules, why shouldn’t we play by them? Make the Democrats eat their words. They like to trot out “no one is above the law” when it concerns the opposition, but you know they’ll scream bloody murder when it’s applied to them.

See? No one is above the law. That statement, of course, is a truism. In the hands of Trump enemies, though, it becomes something more — a rationalization for hostile prosecutors subjecting a political opponent to whatever they can possibly get him on.

By this standard, what would stop prosecutors in a Trump administration from trying to nail Biden? All the evidence is right there in the 350-page Hur report.

To which I say, “go for it.” Joe Biden has no sympathy from me. If they could nail him on the charges detailed in Hur’s report and send him to prison for whatever is left of his time on earth, I’d be good with that.

Maybe a case against Biden wouldn’t succeed. But since when is that the standard? An indictment would harry and humiliate him, and drain him of resources. It would provide enjoyment to his political enemies. In short, it would do everything that’s been done to Trump, but with lower stakes — and no chance of interfering in an election — since Biden wouldn’t any longer be a candidate for office.

As Letitia James insists, “There simply cannot be different rules for different people.”

Exactly.

Daily Broadside | The Persecution of Donald J. Trump Hits a Speed Bump

The outrageous lawfare being waged on the former president took a hit this weekend when the New York Supreme Court ordered New York Attorney General Letitia James to remove a letter asking them to disregard Trump’s argument that posting the scandalous nearly half-a-billion dollar bond is a “practical impossibility.”

In the original letter, Ms. James had asked the court not to accept the testimonies of a Trump attorney and broker who detailed the efforts they’d gone through in trying to obtain a $464 million bond, claiming they were unreliable sources. The defense faulted the state for not providing any “reason to doubt any of their assertions,” however, and only making a blanket statement.

“While attempting to cynically and wrongfully tar the Defendants’ witnesses as ‘unreliable,’ the Attorney General does not actually dispute the truth of a single one of their specific claims,” the defense’s letter reads.

The sworn affidavits submitted revealed that the defense had sought out the large bond since before final judgment was entered—raising the fine from $250 million to more than $350 million during the last days of trial—and that negotiations by four brokers with 30-plus surety companies still resulted in no deal. One of the brokers provided additional context, saying a $100 million bond was considered large and a $464 million bond (which includes the ordered interest) is something few sureties have the ability to issue and would issue only for large publicly traded companies.

The attorney general had argued that these affidavits still didn’t provide enough information on why the defendants had been turned down, suggesting that Trump Organization assets aren’t as valuable as the defense claims.

Of course. Of course. There isn’t enough information in the world that would satisfy the legal assassin who boasted that if elected, she would aggressively investigate Trump’s businesses and finances. This is an all-out partisan witch hunt to pump up her ego by providing the Marxist Democrats an in-kind donation with her election interference.

The fact that the court ordered her to withdraw her letter, while not an epic decision, is still a win for Trump’s defense and perhaps indicates James’ overreach and political calculus. The only way to raise the money would be to liquidate his real estate holdings, something that the defense argued was excessive.

President Trump had posted on social media that to divest of his buildings in a “fire sale” would create irreparable damage—he would lose the buildings he was appealing to keep.

“Perhaps worst of all, the Attorney General argues that Defendants should be forced to dispose of iconic, multi-billion-dollar real-estate holdings in a ‘fire sale,’” the defense’s letter reads. They called it ”textbook irreparable injury” to require the defendants to appeal without penalty only after taking such losses.

“It would be completely illogical—and the definition of an unconstitutional Excessive Fine and a Taking—to require Defendants to sell properties at all, and especially in a ‘fire sale,’ in order to be able to appeal the lawless Supreme Court judgment, as that would cause harm that cannot be repaired once the Defendants do win, as is overwhelmingly likely, on appeal,” the defense argued.

In other good news for Trump, a recent Marquette University/CNBC poll shows that Trump has all but demolished Biden on who Americans trust to handle the border.

Look at that advantage that Donald Trump has on immigration and border security. It’s near 30 points. This is a tremendous change that’s going on and it’s no wonder that Donald Trump is running on immigration,” Enten observed, before adding, “Voters at this particular point are quite concerned about immigration, and they trust Donald Trump on this particular issue.”

Even among Hispanics.

“If you ask Hispanic voters, who do they trust more on border security and immigration? Overwhelmingly, they trust Donald Trump more, by a tremendous margin. Look at that: 49% to 24%. And that is in line with what we’re seeing in the polls in general among Hispanics, right?”

Meh. This is the same vibe I got in 2020. The country is fed up with the Marxist anti-Americans, but they hold all the power. I will be shocked if Trump wins come November.

Daily Broadside | Legacy Media Seizes On Trump “Bloodbath” Comments in Act of Journalistic Sabotage

If you weren’t convinced that the “mainstream” media is your mortal enemy, this should put all questions to rest.

On Friday Trump was in Ohio talking about China building automobile manufacturing plants in Mexico, and planning to sell the vehicles in the United States. He frames his comments as being for Chinese president Xi and says, “we’re gonna put a 100 percent tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those [cars].”

He immediately follows that with, “if I get elected,” meaning that his plan will only happen if he wins the presidency back this fall.

Then, as Trump is wont to do, he speaks in hyperbole, saying, “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath, for the whole—that’s going to be the least of it. It’s gonna be a bloodbath for the country, that’ll be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars” and he continues to talk about the factories being built in Mexico.

It’s clear that the former president’s comment about a “bloodbath” are part of his commentary about Chinese car manufacturing plants in Mexico. But what do the journalistic rags take as the lede?

Makes for a great headline, doesn’t it? Note that the lede isn’t “Trump says he will place a 100 percent tariff on cars coming from Mexico if elected.” Yawn.

The Wall Street Journal at least had the integrity to put Trump’s comments in context.

But the legacy media, the stenographers for the Democrats, took his “bloodbath” comments and made that the lede, insinuating that Trump is threatening or predicting violence if he isn’t elected. It’s all part of the grand effort to sabotage Trump in the eyes of the public, an ongoing campaign of misinformation and disinformation.

There are some good news outlets that can be trusted, like The Epoch Times, which handled the controversy as good reporting should.

Besides, it isn’t as if the media isn’t familiar with the term bloodbath.

You have good reason to distrust the media.

And you should.

Daily Broadside | Elderly Man With Poor Memory Crowned Democrat Nominee

The stair-tripping, mumble-slurring, stage-wandering, shambolic disgrace that is our so-called “president” has apparently been crowned—again—by the degenerates on the Left as their standard-bearer come November 2024.

[So-called] President Joe Biden on March 12 secured the Democratic nomination after an overwhelming win in swing-state Georgia, as his rival former President Donald Trump appears likely to clinch the Republican nomination when several primaries are called later this evening.

President Trump also easily won the Georgia Republican primary on Tuesday, according to a projection by the Associated Press. The Peach State allocates 59 Republican delegates.

“I am honored that the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the Democratic Party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our party—and our country—in a moment when the threat Trump poses is greater than ever,” President Biden said in a statement shared by the White House upon his becoming the presumptive Democratic Party’s nominee.

“Threat.” This from a pathetic dictator wannabe who fronts B. Hussein Obama’s third term and has made the US the laughing stock of the world.

If we lived in anything resembling a free constitutional republic, he’d be tossed to the curb by a landslide come November 5. But because we live in “muh democracy!” that resembles Alice’s upside down and backwards Wonderland, the only way to beat this imposter is to vote in such numbers that the margin of victory is too great for the anti-Americans to cheat like they did in 2020.

Good luck with that.

Trump has also been declared the presumptive nominee for the Republican ticket, setting up the most anticipated—and reviled—rematch of the new century.

Former President Trump is officially the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.

Trump clinched his party’s 2024 nomination Tuesday when Georgia, Mississippi and Washington state held primaries.

With no major challengers left, both Trump and [so-called “president”] Biden, who locked up his party’s nomination earlier in the evening, were on course to collect all or nearly all the delegates up for grabs in Tuesday’s contests, putting each of them over the top and making them the Democratic and Republican presumptive presidential nominees.

Patriots and conservatives, along with like-minded Republicans, face headwinds from half the country who hate them, along with groups like this one that plans to take out $50 million in ads opposing Trump (paywall).

A Republican group dedicated to opposing former President Donald J. Trump is planning to spend $50 million to stop him through a series of homemade testimonial videos of voters who backed him in past elections but say they can no longer support him in 2024.

The group, Republican Voters Against Trump, first emerged in the 2020 campaign and made a return appearance for the 2022 midterm elections. It is run by Sarah Longwell, a leading figure in Never-Trump politics whose focus groups and polling are a staple of center-right podcasts and have made her a go-to figure for political reporters aiming to decipher the motivations behind Trump supporters.

She’s not “center-right” but, hey, it’s a free country. You can support or oppose whoever you want. But don’t try to sell me on how principled you are compared to me. If you’re trying to damage Trump you are actively aiding and abetting the Democrats in their quest to destroy America, and that puts you squarely in the “anti-America” camp. And the big grifters camp. And the David French camp.

We have exactly one chance to get this right. As Benjamin Franklin (may have) said at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

These clowns want us to all hang seperately.

Daily Broadside | With Republicans Like These, Who Needs Democrats?

Wait long enough and the truth starts to leak out.

A previously hidden transcript of an interview conducted by a U.S. House of Representatives panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol has been revealed, undermining a committee claim.

Anthony Ornato, who was the White House deputy chief of staff during the breach, told the committee that he overheard Mark Meadows, who was then chief of staff, on the phone with Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser. According to the transcript, Mr. Meadows wanted to ensure Ms. Bowser “had everything she needed.”

Mr. Meadows “wanted to know if she need[ed] any more guardsmen,” Mr. Ornato testified. “And I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, ‘The president wants to make sure that you have enough.’ You know, ‘He is willing to ask for 10,000.’ I remember that number. Now that you said it, it reminded me of it.”

Ms. Bowser said that “she was all set,” Mr. Ornato recalled.

Mr. Ornato was speaking on Jan. 28, 2022, to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

The committee said in its final report that it “found no evidence” supporting the idea that former President Donald Trump ordered 10,000 troops to be ready for Jan. 6.

“The former J6 Select Committee apparently withheld Mr. Ornato’s critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their pre-determined narrative,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), who released the transcript, said in a statement.

“Mr. Ornato’s testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along, President Trump did in fact offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down,” Mr. Loudermilk, the chairman of the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight, added.

Speaking to Fox News, Mr. Meadows previously said, “As many as 10,000 National Guard troops were told to be on the ready by the secretary of defense. That was a direct order from President Trump.”

You know who was on the J6 committee? Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, two of the most cowardly, traitorous RINOed Republicans that exist.

From Fox News:

Ornato’s interview was conducted in January 2022 and attended by Cheney, among other members on the committee. In addition to serving as deputy chief of staff under Trump, Ornato served in the Secret Service for decades.

The committee, which included seven Democrats and two now-former Republican Congress members, Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, concluded that it found “no evidence” that the Trump administration called for 10,000 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., to protect the Capitol.

Cheney and Kinzinger LIED to us. They were part and parcel of railroading Trump. They deserved getting kicked out of Congress. With Democrats beating us over the heads and stabbing us in the back, who needs anyone on “our” side who acts like a Democrat?

As more evidence emerges, it’s clear that J6 was a set up and the people arrested and kept in solitary in the Garland Archipelago and then sentenced to outrageous jail terms are victims of a miscarriage of justice in the service of evil political ends.

You can’t trust the government, and you especially can’t trust Democrats. Democrats must be banned from participation in our political life. That includes Cheney and Kinzinger.

Daily Broadside | We All Know Biden Didn’t Win in 2020. Here’s More Evidence

I was planning to write about something else but I go off on a tangent here. I’ll offer it up tomorrow and I guarantee it will have you seeing red. It will leave you gobsmacked.

Tricky Nikki dropped out of the presidential race yesterday, leaving the field to Trump. She left the contest without endorsing the presumptive nominee, although she did wish him well. As Ace said, “Her pointless Ego Ride is over.”

Now that that is out of the way, let’s focus on turning out the vote so that it’s not close enough to cheat. Speaking of which, Rassmussen Reports posted on X yesterday that “Joe Biden didn’t ‘win’ Georgia in Nov 2020” because they DIDN’T DO ANY SIGNATURE VERIFICATION. None.

They didn’t use the signature verification machines in Fulton County, GA, nor in Maricope County, AZ, where officials DID NOT VERIFY 1.9 MILLION SIGNATURES.

Trump won the 2020 election; we know it, they know it, and yet “they” pointed at all the judges who refused to take any of the cases and said, “See! Even ‘Trump’ judges are refusing to take the cases.” The whole system is fraudulent.

What could have been.

Daily Broadside | Super Tuesday Goes To Trump And Occupant of White House

No big surprises here.

Trump wins everything except Vermont, while Utah hasn’t been called yet as I put this post to bed (along with me). Haley should be dropping out shortly.

The one surprising and (slightly) hopeful development is that California Republican Steve Garvey (former Major League Baseball player) wins in the jungle primary (usually it’s two Democrats running for the seat). The downside is that it’s likely that the Dems pushed Garvey over the line so that it’ll be a clear decision in November: Democrat v. Republican, and therefore an easier win for Schiff-for-Brains.

Tomorrow’s post will get your blood boiling.

Promise.

Daily Broadside | Per Curiam, Baby! U.S. Supreme Court Unanimously Slaps Colorado Silly

SCOTUS rules 9-0 that Colorado can’t remove Trump from their ballot, no matter what Colorado’s Supreme Court says.

The Supreme Court ruled on March 4 that former President Donald Trump can’t be removed from the ballot by individual states, overturning the Colorado Supreme Court decision that found him ineligible as a candidate and disqualified from the state ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

“Responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates rests with Congress and not the States. The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand,” the per curiam order reads. “All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”

This was not a “partisan” Supreme Court decision, with the liberal justices taking one side and the other justices taking the other. All nine of them agreed that Colorado doesn’t have the authority to remove Trump from the ballot based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment.

“Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse.”

Ed Morrisey at Hot Air says the nine justices wanted to make this stick, and quotes Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s separate concurrence that makes that point:

She emphasizes, however, that the real story here is their unanimity in regard to state action on Section 3:

Particularly in this circumstance, writings on the Court should turn the national temperature down, not up. For present purposes, our differences are far less important than our unanimity: All nine Justices agree on the outcome of this case. That is the message Americans should take home.

So Trump remains on the ballot in all 50 states and that is important particularly today — Super Tuesday. Trump won the North Dakota Republican caucus last night. Today’s contests cross these states: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and American Samoa.

New polls show that Trump is outperforming Biden. Fox News shows Trump leading Biden “in a potential rematch, the survey finds Trump receives 49% support while Biden gets 47%.  That’s pretty much where it’s been since September.  Trump’s advantage is within the margin of sampling error.”

At National Review, Rich Lowry asks a rhetorical question: “How is this survivable [for Biden]?”

That’s a rhetorical question. There are ways it could be survivable, but this finding in the new Fox News poll has to be the most disturbing result from the new bout of general-election polling. Besides the public’s belief that Biden is too old to serve again, 48 percent said that Biden’s policies are hurting them and their families, and only 25 percent said they are helping — whereas 45 percent said Trump’s policies helped and 32 percent said they hurt.

The latest CBS News / YouGov poll agrees:

As Super Tuesday makes an historic rematch all but official, voters are comparing not just two presidents, but two presidencies

And right now former President Donald Trump emerges from that comparison as the frontrunner. He leads President Biden by four points nationally, his largest lead to date. Here’s why:

Voters recall the economy under Trump more fondly than they rate the economy now. 

While neither gets great marks, voters today look back on Trump’s presidency with relatively better retrospective ratings than they’d rate Joe Biden’s presidency so far. 

And in a New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump leads Haley “77%-20% among registered GOP primary voters when asked which candidate they’d be most likely to vote for if the election for the Republican nominee for president were held today. The former president also has a strong lead over Haley – 76.9%-14.5% – in FiveThirtyEight’s Republican primary polling average as of March 4. Biden, meanwhile, was down 43%-48% against Trump with regard to the likely November matchup, according to the Times/Siena poll.”

This is the same feel I got watching Trump in 2020; the momentum was there, the energy was there, the voters were there. But our domestic enemies were “fortifying the election” and if you don’t think they’re making plans for November, you haven’t been paying attention, because their plans include all of the election interference we’re watching as ridiculous lawfare suits are slapped on Trump and his associates.

That’s why the SCOTUS decision yesterday was a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, Coney Barrett’s entreaty to turn down the national temperature will go unheeded by the Left.

Daily Broadside | Trump Winning Streak Ends But No One Cares

Haley wins a round, but it doesn’t matter.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley notched her first victory of the 2024 primary campaign, besting former President Trump in Washington, D.C.

Haley won the contest with nearly 63% of the vote, according to an Associated Press call of the race about 90 minutes after polls closed Sunday. The results mean the former South Carolina governor will walk away with 19 delegates.

Sunday’s primary had a lower turnout than in 2016. The tally now stands at 244 for Trump and 43 for Haley.

“In Washington, D.C.” is all you need to know about Haley’s win.

Washington, D.C., represented Haley’s possible best shot at notching a victory and ending Trump’s undefeated primary streak. While Trump won the district in an uncontested 2020 primary, he finished a distant third behind Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the 2016 primary. The district also leans heavily Democrat, with President Biden garnering 92% of the Washington, D.C., vote in the 2020 election.

“Leans”? LOL.

All this win does is give Haley some false hope and a talking point about why she should remain in the race. After Super Tuesday’s results, we can put the race to bed and begin focusing on the November election, with Trump facing whoever the Democrats decide to put on the ballot.

Trump has so far made easy work of this year’s GOP primary, notching victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Virgin Islands, South Carolina and Michigan. The seemingly easy stream of wins has solidified the former president’s front-runner status in the race, with the campaign telling Fox News Digital ahead of the results that they have already begun to look forward to the general election.

“Republican voters have delivered resounding wins for President Trump in every single primary contest and this race is over,” a spokesperson for the campaign said. “Our focus is now on Joe Biden and the general election.”

Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley is delaying the inevitable.

Just drop out already.

Daily Broadside | So Claims of Cheating Were Right: Trump Actually Won in 2020

In the run-up to the presidential election of 2016, I was NOT a fan of Donald J. Trump. I didn’t like him because he was loud, abrasive, mean, and had a habit of running his stream-of-consciousness mouth off and boasting about all the winning we would do and how he’d get Mexico to pay for his big, beautiful wall without explaining any of it.

But I also had some private admiration for the man. He had the cojones to raise his hand when Bret Baier asked if any of the Republican candidates for president wouldn’t commit to supporting the eventual nominee. Remember that?

Like him or not, Trump was his own man and completely shook up the establishment in 2016.

After watching him for four years and waking up to the deep state and the vile Obiden team, I enthusiastically voted for Trump, only to watch the election be stolen from me and the other millions of Americans who voted for him.

I’ll never forget the comment that someone wrote at me (yes, “at me”) when I expressed my disbelief that our current administration had legitimately won with “81 million” votes for a guy that campaigned from his basement while Trump was hosting packed stadiums.

She wrote, “That many people hated Trump so much that they voted for Biden.”

No way. No way am I believing that. There were so many credible reports of fraud, not to mention all those votes counted after polling closed as reams of ballots were pulled out from under tables and fed into tabulation machines.

I watched as courts, which should have known better, refuse to hear the lawsuits filed as evidence piled up. I was told that “even judges appointed by Republicans” were refusing to take the cases, as if a judge appointed by a Republican was somehow an unimpeachable fact.

I write all that as prologue because now comes a report that basically proves what I and millions of others have claimed all along: that the 2020 election was stolen and Joe Biden is a fraudulent “president.”

With the 2024 election season in full swing, and a Trump-Biden rematch appearing likely, Americans deserve to know that mail-in voting fraud likely changed the outcome of the 2020 election. In recent years, mail-in voting has become more commonplace. However, in 2020, mail-in voting reached an all-time record due to pandemic policies encouraging mail-in voting.

These abrupt and capricious changes to voting procedures in the months before the 2020 election occurred despite the fact that ample evidence showed that mass mail-in voting, unsecure ballot drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and lack of signature verification would result in a flood of fraudulent ballots that would undermine the accuracy of the election results.

A groundbreaking poll conducted by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports in November/December 2023 attempted to assess the degree of fraudulent voting that may have taken place. The results were stunning. Some of the most important findings from the poll include:

  • 21% of mail-in voters admitted that in 2020 they voted in a state where they are “no longer a permanent resident.”
  • 21% of mail-in voters admitted that they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member
  • 17% of mail-in voters said they signed a ballot for a friend or family member “with or without his or her permission.”
  • 19% of mail-in voters said that a friend or family member filled out their ballot, in part or in full, on their behalf.

Cleanest, fairest, most transparent election in history!

After examining the raw survey data provided by Rasmussen, we found that 28.2% of all mail-in respondents admitted to committing at least one of the four types of fraud asked in the survey, meaning that more than one-in-four ballots cast by mail in 2020 were likely cast fraudulently, and thus should not have been counted.

This policy study takes the results of the Heartland/Rasmussen survey and applies them directly to the six swing states that Biden won by razor-thin margins in 2020: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Because Biden voters cast mail-in ballots at a much higher rate than Trump voters, any level of fraud almost certainly benefited Biden to a significantly greater degree than Trump.

In addition to the 28.2% fraud scenario, the study analyzes the electoral results for every fraud integer from 27% down to 1%. In every instance except the 3%, 2%, and 1% fraud scenarios, our results indicate that Trump would have won the Electoral College in the 2020 U.S. presidential election had fraudulent mail-in ballots not been counted. Hence, even if the level of fraud detected in the Heartland/Rasmussen survey (28.2% of all mail-in ballots) substantially overstated voter fraud by multiple orders of magnitude, Trump would likely still have won the 2020 election. 

Ultimately, our study clearly shows that if the 2020 election had been as free, fair, and secure as past elections have been, Donald Trump would almost certainly have been re-elected to a second term. As the country braces for a Trump-Biden rematch, it is imperative that state legislatures do all that they can to ensure the next election is as secure as possible, primarily by severely limiting mail-in voting and instituting other commonsense policies to prevent mail-in voter fraud. If state lawmakers do not pass measures to thwart the possibility of extensive voter fraud occurring again, more Americans will question the legitimacy of  future elections, further eroding the American people’s trust in our nation’s democratic institutions.

Trump had been riding a wave of a great economy, no new wars, peace agreements in the Middle East, low gas prices because we were drilling our own oil, and illegal aliens had been brought under some sort of control. And we’re supposed to think that Handsy Joe, patriarch of the Biden Crime Family, ginned up enough energy among the people to get the most votes ever recorded?

As if.

Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist testifies before Congress about the harm being done by the types of election “interference” that cost Republicans the 2020 election and threaten the 2024 election.

So…Trump won in 2020, as we all knew he did. And it will be the same in 2024 if the spineless GOP doesn’t start playing hardball with state legislatures. Fortunately, fake conservative Mitt Romney’s niece, Ronna McDaniel, who was appointed by Trump, is finally stepping down as chair of the RNC, which has consistently lost elections under her “leadership”—all while grifting off the unsuspecting, well-intentioned, good conservatives who expect Republicans to be fighting for us.

It’s not much, but it’s a start.
