… And Trump had a message Tuesday night for his doubters, who include an increasing number of allies.

“I know what the hell I’m doing. I know what I’m doing,” Trump said at a fundraiser for House Republicans’ campaign arm. “And you know what I’m doing, too. That’s why you vote for me.”

It’s not so clear that the American people have that kind of faith — or know precisely why Trump is doing this….

The GOP is so AFRAID OF #VOTERS that want to pass the SAVE Act, a bill that would limit access to the polls & disenfranchise millions of Americans.

What are they hiding from? The fact that their policies are unpopular & their actions are undemocratic?

“One hundred 545human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.” Charley Reese.

[Ultimately, it is we the people. We either vote or not. We either educate ourselves or buy into the delusion. But still, he is correct. Only 545 people use the power to make all policies etc……unless we the people decide otherwise,].

Day five: Multi-cultural bullshit

“Chinese language #influencers who mostly post lifestyle content are interviewing election candidates on the social media app #Rednote, allowing politicians to bypass an apparent “shadow ban” on #campaigning by the app and reach a disengaged but vital audience.

The interviews with influencers who usually post about food, real estate and shopping have been published on a platform that is not actively monitored by the Australian Electoral Commission due to Rednote’s scale and the commission’s resources.

#ScottYung, the #Liberal candidate for the ultra-marginal Sydney seat of #Bennelong, where almost one-third of residents have #Chinese ancestry, has featured in multiple interviews shared by #Mandarin speaking influencers on Rednote in recent weeks.”

I note Scotty (another Scotty) highlighted himself due to State campaigning irregularities in 2019. Johhny (War crimes) Howard is all over the #Bennelong campaign. Howard, one step away from #CCP influence campaign. Handy Andy Hastings will be in fits.

This isn’t a “Chinese thing”, this is a “Politics thing” where a multicultural background is weaponised for candidates against the rest of Australian #voters.

"It is absolutely right to emphasize the importance of respecting #voters, and try to understand them, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you are stupid or racist. But voters are not going to tell you how to #govern the country. It is not their job. Relying on their opinions to try to deduce what to do leads not only to incoherence, but to a negative loop."

Comment is Freed · The Rise of the GurusBy Sam Freedman

Via #RawStory - March 31, 2025

The #Canadian government is bombarding #voters in key swing states with anti-trade war #propaganda as President Donald #Trump vows to enact his biggest package of #tariffs yet next month.

Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.
