THIRTY FOUR FELONY COUNTS: 34 GUILTY VERDICTS That was the result of the trial of Donald Trump. This is a dark day for our country and one that should go down in infamy and I don't think it's going to end the way the Democrats think it's going to end. Within hours of the verdict donors crashed the GOP fundraising site because of the high volume of donors. This verdict is to Republicans as Dobbs was to Democrats. People recognize that these "crimes" and this trial was designed to do one thing: stop Donald Trump from retaking the White House. Polling data backs that up. And however we may feel about the man, a whole bunch of Americans don't want to see our nation behave like Soviet Russia, or even Russia today. We want OUR say to matter when it comes to elections and the Democrats just handed Donald Trump a huge victory, where he will paint himself as a political prisoner in a country where we aren't supposed to have those. He's not wrong. This entire trial has been a sham and an embarrassment and I'm sure the judge was celebrated last night by his Democratic operative daughter and all his friends. We shall discuss this today, and I'm interested to hear from you guys about how this affects your vote for President. I just went from Trump voter to ABSOLUTE Trump voter in one day.

DONORS ARE ALREADY LINING UP TO GIVE TRUMP MONEY And none has been more interesting than super smart guy and Venture Capitalist Shaun Maguire. He took to X to make a lengthy post not only announcing that he donated $300,000 to the Trump campaign yesterday, but urging Silicon Valley tech bros to do the same. I'm gonna share this post on the show today.
CIVIL WAR IS ALREADY TRENDING ON TWITTER And can I add to the voices say STOP IT ALREADY. Only idiots want real war. Only people who have never been in real war want war. What I want is an election without irregularities where one person rises above the rest. But stop it with the civil war nonsense. This post made me laugh today, though I believe the Xer was being serious.
Liberals may own a gun but the conservatives I know own what might be called a cache of weapons so okay.
SO WHO GETS INDICTED NEXT? The only way to stop the use of lawfare in politics is to make sure it is dished out evenly. So if Trump wins, does Joe Biden get indicted for taking money via his son from Communist China? Does Hillary Clinton get indicted? Who is next? If you think the Democrats don't already know this is possible watch them go into "we've got to save democracy" hyperdrive because what they are trying to do is save themselves. This column says noses on the other side must be bloodied if there is hope for our future.
BIDEN SHOULD PARDON TRUMP And Mitt Romney was the guy to say it. And he was right when he says politically it would make Biden the Big Guy and Trump the Little Guy if he did it. But he won't because Joe Biden is not smart and only makes bad decisions.
DAVE WILLIAMS FINDS A WAY TO GRIFT ON THE VERDICT I mentioned the fundraising bump already, but did you know that corrupt GOP Chair and Congressional Candidate managed to grift for himself with an email already? Read this:
To the Trump campaign’s chagrin, however, some Republicans appear to be rallying around Trump’s conviction to solicit donations just for themselves. Colorado congressional candidate Dave Williams, Politico reported, sent out a message lambasting Trump’s conviction with a button that reads, “STAND WITH TRUMP & DAVE.” But clicking on the button directs to William’s sole fundraising page.
So to be clear, he says STAND WITH TRUMP AND DAVE but oddly gives you ONLY the chance to "STAND" with Dave. Of course he did. Grifters gonna grift.

DENVER COUNCILMAN FLYNN IS ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS By asking for an investigation into claims by a now former employee that the Mayor's office pressured her agency to lower standards for hiring police recruits. Lest you think this is a political witch hunt, he lays out why he wants more info here:
Flynn said some of her claims are "lacking specificity," and cites that as his primary motivator in calling for an investigation. Murray should "name names, tell us when, what was done and who recommended lowering acceptable test scores," he said.
Adding to this, Flynn said the council and city at large cannot "solve a problem if no one tells us the specifics of the problem."
"(I'd like to see) any and all evidence of any malpractice," Flynn said, noting his colleagues have yet to share any of the documents they claim demonstrate political pressure.
"The director talked about being pressured to accept lower test scores, but the recommendation was made by a consultant she hired," he said. "What happened in between?"
He's right on all these fronts. Don't make accusations without backing them up.

DEMOCRATS WANT YOU TO VOTE FOR RON HANKS Because he is entirely beatable in the 3rd Congressional district. This story from the Colorado Sun explains how Dems are running ads to get conservatives to vote for Hanks. Do not fall for it. Vote for Jeff Hurd instead. Ron Hanks is a crazy liar.
