I think this should go here instead of Trump 2024, but it needs to be seen. It opened my eyes to what is going on surrounding the very "rights" we have to hear, meet, and host those who run for offices in this country. Trump's brought it to our attention, especially this "authors" piece on the problem. I read it on X, and it's by a navy veteran, Jack Posobiec who wrote "Bulletproof". Good article imo, sorry it didn't copy over showing paragraphs: "Trump has now been forced to request military aircraft and vehicles for his protection. This isn't just about personal security anymore; it's about the broader implications of political violence in the United States. The requests come amidst concerns over advanced threats like missiles and drone attacks, which, if true, suggest a level of sophistication and perhaps foreign involvement or support that's chilling. However, what's equally if not more disturbing, is the media's response or rather, lack thereof. While such events would typically dominate headlines, prompting discussions on security, foreign policy, and domestic terrorism, there's been a noticeable silence or at least, a subdued conversation. This has led to a significant amount of speculation on platforms like X, where users have questioned why these incidents aren't receiving the attention they arguably deserve. The silence from mainstream media could be interpreted in various ways. Some argue it's due to political bias, suggesting that if Trump were not the target, the coverage might be different. Others believe it's an attempt to downplay the events to prevent copycats or to not amplify what might be perceived as a personal vendetta against Trump, thereby avoiding the glorification of such acts. There's also the narrative that the media might be trying to avoid giving Trump more airtime or a platform, especially in an election year, where every detail could sway public opinion. From another perspective, could this reticence be because discussing these events might force a national conversation on security that neither party is ready for? Addressing the security failures, or the adequacy of current protections around political figures, would require admitting vulnerabilities at a systemic level, possibly leading to calls for drastic security reforms or even changes in how political campaigns are conducted. The implications of Trump's security requests are vast. If granted, it sets a precedent for how political candidates are protected, potentially militarizing campaign trails. Critics argue this could be seen as an overreaction or a strategic move to portray Trump as under siege, enhancing his image as a maverick fighting against the odds. However, supporters and even neutral observers might see it as a necessary step given the real threats demonstrated by the assassination attempts. This situation also raises questions about the adequacy of Secret Service protections. If Trump's life is under threat to such an extent that military involvement is considered, what does this say about the capability or perhaps the political independence of current protective services? The idea that military hardware might be more trusted than civilian security forces for protecting political figures speaks volumes about trust, or the lack thereof, in institutions. The undercurrent of this story isn't just about Trump but about the state of American democracy. If political figures, especially those as polarizing as Trump, require military-grade protection during campaigns, it might reflect deeper societal and political fractures. The media's silence or muted response could be a strategy to not further inflame these divisions, or it might be an oversight that misses the gravity of the situation. This scenario, where assassination attempts are met with requests for military aid and media silence, paints a picture of a country at a crossroads, where political violence isn't just a possibility but a reality, yet discussed in whispers rather than in bold headlines. It's a narrative that deserves attention, not for the drama or the political figure at its center, but for what it says about security, democracy, and the media's role in shaping public discourse in times of crisis." 189.3K Views
Trump's rallying in Coachella CA today. People been lined up since before 7 a.m. and Trump won't be there for another 10 hours. I love it when we get to see all the RED in California. I only hope more turn RED, and newsom doesn't win with his allowing no voter ID. I can find the video other than on X so I'll just take a pic of the crowd that Nick Nortor got info on this a.m. You can at least see the Sun hadn't even risen yet
A lot of corruption and money exchange AND power can be exposed by Trump. He was too kind to the swamp before. If they are really worried, there could be major shakeups. The WHO won't get their way. The WEF. Insider trading Congress people. The pharma and food industry. The military industrial complex. Three letter agencies....
I can't figure out why he is rallying in CA. He can't win it with Newscum's law against checking voters. But I am glad the people showed such support.
That county is said to be heavily Hispanic, maybe mostly illegal, but there could have been a lot of people from other areas. I think Trump is using these stops to make national news and get info out about the ways Kamala has failed with open borders.
I have never liked open borders because they have always been open. I mean always. I disagree with how Biden has handled it but that does not mean I would vote for Trump because like so many of former Trump allies in government and military positions are voting for Harris or should I say voting for anyone other than Trump. He is dangerous enough if his mental capacities were normal but now he is in steep decline and more frightening than ever. P.S. There have always been states that do not require photo IDs to vote.
Yes, the border has always been open, that is where the derogatory term wetbacks came from. But this invasion by Biden, the puppet president, was coordinated with our paying the UN to cause this worldwide invasion. It was the vision of the WEF over the couple of decades (Soros). Trump saw the danger in his first presidency and tried to stand in the way. That is why he is so hated. You must see the corruption of the government--waving the Ukrainian flags in our Congress--so many of our representatives bought and paid for, not working for you and me but for the elites, the money 'our' representatives amass. The green revolution which will save the world's commodities for them while taking them from us. China is here in out country, not as investors but military aged men near our bases. Poor immigrants who will vote for the party that pays them eventually. The WEF is destroying us from within by corruption. They have no hold on Trump. That is their danger. But He is the only one who can stop this. Trudeau is about to fall too. He has been found out as one of the golden up and comers of the WEF. I hope they all fall like dominoes. The Danger is when Trump wins, as Kamala is crumbling being exposed by interviews with difficult questions, the dem's reaction will not just be verbal complaining about an unfair election that they thought they'd sewn up, I could see a lot of 'peaceful' demonstrations like in Washington and Oregon. Not just a handful of rowdies at the capital.
We've had legal immigration, yes, but not illegal which is what biden/harris allowed. I'm sure there are plenty of American's that will vote Harris or anyone but Trump. I doubt if there is any actual evidence that President Trump is not mentally competent, but there sure seems to be a lot of evidence in biden, and harris evidently hides her competence at the least, maybe she doesn't really want to be President, or is just a liar, which her record certainly is proven as well. I don't see any convincing reasons for your, or others being against President Trump. His personality can rub people the wrong way, but I think that's more their own problem. I wonder if the "never Trumpers" ever think about the true state of their country, and how it's been failing since biden/harris took over. Evidently not, because even someone with as little education as myself can see how horribly the decisions, or lack thereof, this administration have affected more American's, negatively, than I have ever seen in my lifetime. I'll be honest and just say I worry way more about the mentality of those that can't seem to either admit the Truth, or actually don't know it, but still get to vote.
I appreciate him so much for going, and I believe he goes to those places because he loves the people, cares about the conservatives that are fighting the good fight for their State, same as folks here in Oregon. We have the same problem as CA. Many States are blue, but it's not for lack of conservatives fighting for their laws and constitution. At least those that are getting out to vote. You'd see his rallies packed in Oregon as well I believe, much of Oregon is Red, same with California, it's just not enough, for now. Hope that changes.
The more people Trump can get to cast a vote for him and then get screwed of their right as American citizens, the more people we'll have to fight for what's right. The more corrupt the state, the more fighters are needed there. As you know, Trump is doing way more than just trying to win an election. We're fighting it here in Virginia. Every rape of our rights has been done at the hands of the Democrats who are gonna "Save our democracy."
I think the real target of the "elites" is the Constitution. It has always been so for the Progressive movement, but it is now an obstacle for the WEF and others. The attacks on the Second Amendment have ben with us for some time, but the recent attacks on the First Amendment are relatively new. The Ninth and Tenth Amendments were essentially done away with in the 1960s, and the body of the Constitution underwent its first attack when Progressivism first became well-established in the U.S. in the Wilson Administration when direct election of Senators, the IRS, and the Federal Reserve were established. As was seen during the first Trump Administration, he appears to be wanting to revive the Constitution, or at least stop the "decay", giving more power to the states and less to the Federal Government.
Here is a map that shows where people are voting for conservative candidates (blue) and where they vote for liberals (yellow). As you can see, overwhelmingly, most of the country will vote for President Trump. However the yellow liberal areas are the densely populated areas, and so those small parts have as much voting power as the whole rest of the country. If Trump can change even some of the yellow areas to blue, then he can win not only the electoral college, but also the popular vote. Also, he is having rallies in some of these areas to try and help other conservative candidates who have a chance of winning in their areas.
