BY KRISTOPHER SEALS<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a saying: \u201cPlay stupid games \u2026 Win stupid prizes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full disclosure: I\u2019m not a \u201cTrump guy.\u201d I\u2019m an American who investigates things, which may get me cancelled. Guess what? I\u2019m a black man in America\u2026 I was born cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, the biggest story in America right now is the 2024 Presidential Election. It features the current Vice President Kamala Harris running against former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface, it should not be close. One person has been twice impeached, sued, indicted, and even convicted. However, that person may very well win the election. How is that possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how. On January 6, 2021, events unfolded at the Capitol that made Donald J. Trump the most hated person in the world. The word \u201cinsurrection\u201d was used. Trump was called a \u201cthreat to democracy.\u201d There\u2019s just one problem\u2026 He isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To those disagreeing with me, ask yourself this question: If Trump was a threat to democracy, then why wasn\u2019t he charged in 2021?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t want to hear about other cases on the docket. Defendants get their cases pushed back all the time. A case against Trump would have been priority one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their actions sure didn\u2019t match their words. If someone is a threat to the very fabric of the nation, surely that person would be taken off the field as soon as possible. Yeah\u2026 that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, why not? It\u2019s simple. Democrats didn\u2019t need him to be an actual threat to democracy. He just had to be a perceived threat. That way, they could use him as a platform to win elections. They even got a kick out of how divided the GOP was, with some loyal to Trump and others who loathed him. If Trump was a threat to democracy, they should have helped the Republicans exorcise him from the Party and politics altogether. Instead, the Dems sat back and let Kevin McCarthy become the first House Speaker to be ousted during his term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201ceyes wide open\u201d moment for me was when Pennsylvania Democrats ran ads during the 2022 GOP Primary supporting the Trump nominee, because they thought it was a better matchup for them in November. I\u2019m sorry, but if Trump was a \u201cthreat to democracy\u201d you wouldn\u2019t risk it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was nothing more that good old fashioned electioneering. Like George W. Bush and the War on Terror, the Democrats were using fear to win at the ballot box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, something happened. Other Americans woke up to it as well. We started looking at everything with a critical lens, rather than a fearful eye like we were told to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, the Fraud case, where Letitia James hit him for over $450 million. Okay, if something was out of sorts, then why not press charges on the banks who approved the loans? If you\u2019re not charging the banks, and they had the money paid back to them, and they didn\u2019t bring a case against Trump, then what the heck are you charging him for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An appeals court may soon throw the whole thing out, meaning that \u201cTish\u201d James wasted taxpayer money on her very own glorified election interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hush Money case: What kind of judge issues a one-sided gag order? Also, jury instructions should have \u201cguilty beyond a reasonable doubt\u201d at the center, not \u201cif you think something was wrong, then vote guilty.\u201d What was Judge Merchan thinking, if he was even thinking at all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, the Supreme Court made an unusual but consequential ruling on Presidential Immunity, meaning that this case may get tossed also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Documents case: If they\u2019re trying to lock him up, why not Biden, who had top secret documents in a Corvette? Meanwhile, Judge Aileen Cannon threw this one out, based on Special Counsel Jack Smith not being properly appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jan. 6 case. Fun fact: You can actually charge someone with an insurrection. Funnier fact: They didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, you call the whole thing an \u201cinsurrection,\u201d and yet you didn\u2019t charge the person you say was responsible with an insurrection?! Instead, they charged him with a bunch of goofy who knows what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to Cannon, Judge Chutkan did not oppose Smith being in charge, and let him adjust the case to omit the presidential acts from it. Also, she allowed him to release documents pertaining to the case. Outside of bizzarro land, no intelligent lawyer would want documents out in the wild, because you open yourself up to appeals left and right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be hard to win a case like that, unless the purpose isn\u2019t to win in a court of law, but in the court of public opinion. The only thing that remotely makes sense is that this is glorified election interference under color of official right – which is pretty much what Trump was accused of all the way back to the first impeachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, there is the Georgia RICO case. Fani Willis insisted on a mugshot for one of the most famous and recognizable people on the planet. Her reward? Having people stuff his campaign coffers in response. She might have realized this at some point, but she was too busy putting out the fire of an improper relationship with a coworker on the case. Thanks to all the appeals – because that\u2019s what happens when you stupidly stuff a bunch of people into a RICO indictment – that case got pushed back as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, in the time that Trump could have been stewing behind bars if he was taken care of in 2021, he gained momentum – and unified the once divided GOP. The struggles of the Biden Administration, Harris not performing with the border or anything for that matter, the first debate debacle, Trump surviving assassination attempts, the second debate that was overshadowed by the extreme bias of ABC, Walz not performing in his debate against Vance – all of this allowed the former POTUS to chart a path back to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, for a personal message to Democrats. Do me a favor\u2026 stop taking us for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We DON\u2019T have to vote for a \u201cblack\u201d woman who made her name locking up black people in California left and right, but only changed course due to her political ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We DON\u2019T have to vote for someone who is Nancy Pelosi\u2019s personal pet project, and who is said to be \u201cbold\u201d but is afraid to hold a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We DON\u2019T have to vote for someone because Barack Obama said so. News flash: We did that in 2021!!! He told us to vote for Joe and look what happened. Like \u201csomeone\u201d once said, \u201cNever underestimate Joe\u2019s ability to \u2018F\u2019 something up!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of celebrities, we DON\u2019T have to vote for someone just because Taylor Swift said so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of her fans feel that they owe it to her to vote the way she does. Here\u2019s the truth. Brace yourself, because it gets pretty\u2026 expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all her fans: You spent your money on her old albums, you spent your money on her new album, you spent your money on her re-released albums, you spent your money on her \u201cEras\u201d tour, you spent your money on travel for her tour, you spent your money on hotel or motel rooms for her tour, you spent your money on merchandise for her tour, you spent your money to see the music documentary of her tour, you spent your money on Disney Plus to rewatch the music documentary of her tour with special added features, you spent your money on her other new album, you spent your money on the special version of her other new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You dipped into your savings, maxed out your credit cards, and took out loans for everything Taylor Swift, and you made her a billionaire. When it comes to YOUR vote, guess what? You don\u2019t owe Taylor Swift a DAMN thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(By the way, if she sees this, she better not get any ideas about dissing me in a song either. I have a pen. I know people who make beats – and I ain\u2019t Jake Gyllenhaal. I can, and WILL defend myself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we DON\u2019T have to vote for a Party that does the very things they accuse Trump of doing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dog whistles: When someone says she\u2019s against fracking, but then says she\u2019s for it, but immediately says \u201cmy values haven\u2019t changed\u2026\u201d that sounds like a dog whistle to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaliation: Remember that Primary not long ago, where Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Kamala? It was so bad, that Kamala was the first to drop out. And now, not long after Kamala was INSTALLED – like a dictator – as the nominee, Tulsi ended up on a \u201cspecial\u201d Quiet Skies list, in which they harass her and her husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaslighting: Saying that Kamala Harris wasn\u2019t the Border Czar, when she WAS the Border Czar. Calling something the \u201cInflation Reduction Act\u201d when it was the \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d in wolf\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the debate, Kamala said there were no active military serving right now. And yet, some military personnel were watching, and said, \u201cWhere the heck are we right now?\u201d And they didn\u2019t say \u201check\u201d either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They want you to have \u201cjoy\u201d despite the current state of the country. They insist that everything is fine. There is a meme online that perfectly encompasses this. It\u2019s the one with the dog in the burning room, and the dog says, \u201cThis is fine. I\u2019m okay with what\u2019s happening.\u201d THAT is the Democratic Party right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And last but not least\u2026 the Threat to Democracy: Never mind Project 2025, the REAL threat to this nation is \u201cPROJECT 1984\u201d being run by the Democrats. For those who have not read \u201c1984\u201d here is what is happening RIGHT NOW. The Democrats have seized control of the media. This is their plan: \u201cControl The Messaging\u2026 Control The People.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, transgender topics on YouTube. Anything pro-Trans gets boosted and celebrated. However, if someone wants to share their story about any regrets they have or the pitfalls that come with it, the video either gets suppressed or demonetized, or the account gets a strike or is even banned. That is a blatant violation of free speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you remember all those Kamala staffers who QUIT because they couldn\u2019t stand her? Thanks to the media, it was swept under the rug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That nasty sound you hear is Edward R. Murrow rolling over in his grave whenever he hears ABC News. The sound of CBS News makes the spirit of Walter Cronkite shrug in disgust. You want to know how you combat this? Boycott ABC News and CBS News!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember CNN? Sure, they\u2019re still not completely unbiased, but they\u2019re not as bad now. Why? Because people stopped watching for a bit. When that happened, they moved away from the far left and closer to the middle. That is how you straighten out \u201cowned\u201d news media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Democrats have executed one of the best examples of \u201cpolitical backfire\u201d in history. To think, all of this could have been avoided if they had just finished it in 2021. They played stupid games, and on Election Day, they\u2019re going to get stupid prizes: Another Trump Presidency, and everything that comes with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a nice week. Someone will talk to you next week.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, if I have an \u201caccident\u201d after writing this, it wasn\u2019t an accident.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
