SCHIFF DEFENDS CORRUPT ACT BLUE

SCHIFF-TRUST-ME-BS

Once again, one of the most detestable members of the Senate, the lying, leaking, evidence-falsifying, Adam "Schiff for Brains " Schiff, is trying to explain away the alleged corruption associated with Democrat fundraising and illegal contributions, many from foreign sources.

Asfs

Stephen —

Donald Trump just launched a sham investigation into ActBlue, the top campaign contribution processor for Democratic campaigns, including my own.

And we know why — they want to shut down ActBlue.

This is a classic authoritarian move from the Trump administration. Politicizing and weaponizing the Justice Department to go after voters’ power to make an impact on our democracy.

[OCS: Like the Democrats did not employ lawfare and weaponize the Justice Department, even before Donald Trump walked down the golden stairs to announce his candidacy.]

It’s an attempt to rig the political system — a system that was already fundamentally broken after the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision.

[OCS: As if the Democrats did not attempt to rig the 2016 election or actually rig the 2020 election.]

Coming after grassroots donors’ ability to give through ActBlue and other donation processors is silencing voters. It’s a power grab by the right wing. It’s an affront to our democracy. It won’t surprise you to learn that Trump is taking no action to investigate the Republican equivalent of ActBlue — underscoring what a blatantly partisan attack this is.

[OCS: Are they speaking about thousands of voters who did not give the money listed by Act Blue or the money that originated from foreign sources that was not appropriately flagged and rejected?]

Right now, our already rigged political system is giving even more power to Elon Musk and the billionaires who seek to sway elections by making massive contributions. The GOP is consolidating power and trying to kneecap our democracy through sham investigations, executive orders, and policies.

[OCS: Funny, they never mention their billionaires like Reid Hoffman, George Soros, or Mark Zuckerberg, who actively interfered with the elections.]

That’s not ok.

We need to empower voters. People should be able to make small dollar contributions. Post their thoughts on social media. Attend rallies and protests. Call and write to their representatives.

[OCS: Wasn't it the Democrats who disenfranchised their primary voter base after a legitimate election to substitute an inarticulate, incompetent Kamala Harris, for a brain-damaged Joe Biden whose signature was signed by an anonymous unelected aide using an AutoPen?]

The GOP is trying to silence voters. We need to fight back.

That’s why I’m asking you to chip in today. Your support will help me fight Trump’s attacks on our democracy and put power back in people’s hands — not just Elon Musk’s.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

As-dThank you — and more soon as we learn more about the impacts of Trump’s investigation.

Allegations Against ActBlue: Examining Claims of Money Laundering and Fraudulent Donations

ActBlue, a prominent online fundraising platform utilized by Democratic candidates and causes, is currently under scrutiny following allegations of facilitating money laundering and fraudulent donations. These claims have prompted investigations by various state attorneys general, congressional committees, and federal agencies.​ <Source<

Allegations and Investigations

In August 2024, several state officials initiated investigations into ActBlue's operations. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares expressed concerns over "hundreds of thousands of dollars of contributions through individual donors in the Commonwealth in volumes that are facially implausible and appear suspicious." He noted instances where donors, including retirees, reportedly made multiple daily contributions amounting to tens of thousands of dollars, raising questions about the legitimacy of these donations.

Similarly, Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced inquiries into ActBlue, focusing on potential identity theft and illegal donations, including contributions from foreign actors.

At the federal level, the House Committee on Administration, led by Chairman Bryan Steil, issued subpoenas to ActBlue for documents related to donor verification policies and potential vulnerabilities to foreign influence. The committee's investigation highlighted concerns about the use of untraceable prepaid cards and allegations of "smurfing," where large donations are broken into smaller amounts to circumvent contribution limits.

In response to these allegations, President Donald Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate ActBlue, emphasizing the need to address potential violations of election-related contribution laws, including "straw donor" schemes and foreign contributions. 

ActBlue's Response

ActBlue has strongly denied the allegations, labeling the investigations as politically motivated attacks aimed at undermining Democratic fundraising efforts. The organization asserts that it employs robust security protocols and has implemented measures to verify donor information, including requiring card verification values (CVV) for online contributions. 

The platform also points to the bipartisan nature of small-dollar donations, noting that similar scrutiny has not been applied to its counterpart, WinRed, used by Republican campaigns. ActBlue emphasizes its commitment to transparency and compliance with campaign finance laws.​

Broader Implications

The allegations against ActBlue raise significant questions about the integrity of online political fundraising platforms and their susceptibility to misuse. While the investigations are ongoing, they underscore the challenges in ensuring compliance with campaign finance laws in the digital age. The outcomes of these inquiries may lead to legislative reforms aimed at tightening donor verification processes and enhancing transparency in political donations.

In his own words...

Adam Schiff Tells Bill Maher Even Voters In San Francisco Think Dems Are A-Holes

Adam Schiff was in San Francisco when his luggage was stolen from his car. So he went to Target to get new bags, and the cashier told him exactly what she thought of guys like Schiff:

[Adam Schiff] So we're going to have to change how we do business in California. We're going to have to address people's legitimate concerns about crime. I was in South San Francisco two years ago after I had an experience in the city that all too many people had when my luggage was stolen out of my car.

They tell you don't ever leave your luggage in the car. I never do until the one time I did. And of course it got stolen.

And what was most memorable about the experience for me as I went to this target in South San Francisco, 10 o'clock at night, and I'm getting the the toiletries I'm going to need for my next two days in the city.

[Bill Maher] I get to the cashier by yourself, not an assistant.

[Adam Schiff] I think I went there. Well, yes, I had somebody drop me off at the store.

[Bill Maher] And so I don't mean to make that an issue. See, I waited somewhere I should not have waited.

[Adam Schiff] First of all, I had to get the clerk, which is hard to find, to unlock the shampoo or the whatever. So that's one thing. And then I get to the cashier.

The cashier asked me if I want one of those target bags with a bullseye on it. And I said, yes, that target bag is going to be my luggage for the next two days. And she asked me what happened.

And I told her. And she basically said, in not so many words, Democrats are assholes. And I thought, you know, if the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o'clock at night believes that Democrats are assholes because the shampoo is locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we've got a major problem that we have to address.

<Source> <Video> 

Start by resigning!

Bottom line...

The House-censured Schiff is lying again!

We continue to be screwed.

ISLAM OR ISLAMISM? THE DANGEROUS GAME WESTERN ELITES ARE PLAYING

Coexis-tislam

What’s an “Islamist”? A Convenient Euphemism for an Uncomfortable Truth

In the modern Western lexicon, the term “Islamist” has emerged as a politically correct escape hatch—a rhetorical trick used by academics, pundits, and politicians alike. It’s employed to neatly separate the religion of Islam from the violence and intolerance often carried out in its name. This euphemism allows people to say: “Islam is peaceful; Islamists are the problem.”

But let’s be honest: this distinction is more about preserving sensibilities than acknowledging reality.

The idea that “Islamism” is somehow distinct from Islam itself is a comfort narrative—crafted not from theology or doctrine, but from the cultural and political desire to avoid offending over a billion Muslims worldwide. It's a propaganda campaign disguised as academic nuance. By labeling perpetrators of jihad and terrorism as "Islamists" rather than simply "Muslims acting on Islamic doctrine," we pretend that the violence is an aberration rather than a reflection of foundational tenets.

Regarding Violence

Surah At-Tawbah (9:5) – "Then when the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them..."

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:191) – "And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you..."

Surah Al-Anfal (8:12) – "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike [them] upon the necks..."

Regarding Lying (often referencing "taqiyya")

Surah An-Nahl (16:106) – "Whoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced while his heart is secure in faith..."

Regarding Non-Believers (Infidels)

Surah Al-Imran (3:85) – "And whoever desires other than Islam as religion—never will it be accepted from him..."

Surah Al-Baqarah (2:221) – "Do not marry polytheistic women until they believe..."

Surah At-Tawbah (9:29) – "Fight those who do not believe in Allah... until they give the jizyah while they are humbled."

Hadith Reference (Sahih Muslim 2922):

“The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews. The Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will say: ‘O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him’—except for the Gharqad tree, for it is one of the trees of the Jews.”

The Scheme of Separation

This strategy of rhetorical separation serves two main purposes:

  1. To shield Islam from scrutiny. By creating a linguistic buffer, critics can condemn terrorism without appearing “Islamophobic.” The problem is never Islam, they insist, but rather a “radicalized” or “twisted” version of it.

  2. To preserve multicultural harmony. Western societies have invested heavily in promoting religious tolerance. Calling out Islam itself for its more aggressive or exclusivist passages risks backlash, both political and societal.

But such mental machinations come at a cost: truth.

Doctrinal Consistency, Not Deviation

When terrorist groups cite scripture, enforce sharia law, or punish apostasy, they are not inventing a new ideology—they are enforcing old ones. Their actions may be extreme, but they are not wholly unorthodox. The harsh penalties for unbelief, the call for jihad, and the division of the world into believers and infidels—these aren’t “radical reinterpretations.” They are textual, historical, and doctrinal elements of Islam itself.

To pretend otherwise is not just disingenuous—it’s dangerous. It blinds the public to the source of the problem and handicaps any effort to understand or address it.

Euphemisms Don’t Stop Bullets

Whether we call them “Islamists,” “jihadists,” or “violent extremists,” the reality remains the same: the acts are motivated by a religious framework, and that framework is Islamic. Refusing to say so doesn’t make it less true. It only makes our public discourse more dishonest and less effective.

Bottom line…

Even if Israel, the United States, and the rest of the Western world did not exist, Muslims would be killing Muslims, much as they already do in the Middle East and elsewhere, as the fight over which Muslims are more adherent followers and the rightful heirs to the religion itself. Never forget, Islam is not an organic religion, but the creation of a violent warlord.

A society that cannot speak clearly about the ideas that motivate violence is a society unprepared to defend itself against them.

We are so screwed.

WAKE UP, AMERICA: YOUR APATHY IS DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY

Doom-scrolling

Frustrated Beyond Belief

I’m exhausted. Emotionally, mentally, spiritually — drained of all energy. Because it feels like I’m screaming into the void while the country I love crumbles from the inside. And the worst part? Too many people just don’t care.

They sit. Scrolling. Consuming. Distracted by TikToks and talking heads. Believing whatever the next loud voice on the screen tells them to believe. Some have become so thoroughly indoctrinated that they genuinely believe a political opponent is a modern-day Hitler — no nuance, no conversation, just blind rage and tribalism.

What happened to critical thinking? To the truth? To decency?

Are You Fucking Blind?

There is a generation, maybe several generations now, being actively taught by the progressive communist democrats and their media propagandists to see themselves as victims first and citizens second, not by some foreign enemy conducting a psy-op from abroad, but by a domestic political machine so desperate to cling to power that it has weaponized identity, grievance, and division. They push the narrative that America is irredeemably evil, that success is oppression, that personal responsibility is outdated. It’s not about lifting people up anymore — it’s about keeping them angry, dependent, and distracted. And the irony? The very people preaching about systemic injustice are the ones designing the system that keeps everyone shackled in chains.

Visionaries are not leading us — empty husks are ruling us. One candidate was literally brain-damaged—the other, demonstrably incoherent and absent. And behind the curtain, a cabal of unelected bureaucrats and political operatives pulls the strings, issuing executive orders with an AutoPen because the so-called leader can’t even hold a pen, let alone a coherent thought. This isn’t leadership. It’s a managed decline—a con. And millions have bought in because the alternative — thinking for themselves — is too hard, too scary, too inconvenient. We are not in the midst of a political debate; we’re watching a cultural suicide in real-time.

But right now? I’m just tired. Tired of watching this country rot while too many people watch Netflix and pretend everything’s fine. 

The apathy is soul-crushing. And no, I don’t mean people who are struggling just to get by — I mean those who could speak up, could think for themselves, could see what’s happening, and choose not to. Whether it’s fear, laziness, or just plain indifference, it’s killing us and America.

I don’t know what the answer is. Keep shouting into the wind? Keep hitting the same damn wall over and over hoping for a crack?

Maybe. Or maybe it’s about waking one person up. A friend. A neighbor. A coworker. Perhaps it starts with a conversation that doesn’t end in screaming. Maybe it’s courage in small doses — enough to remind others they’re not alone.

Bottom line…

You dumb bastards, it’s not about left versus right, it’s about good versus evil, common sense versus delusion.

We are so screwed.

HUGS FOR THUGS: A NEW CHAPTER IN PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT POLITICAL COMPASSION

MS-13-CAUCUS
In recent weeks, a group of progressive communist democrats has expressed sympathy toward illegal aliens involved in violent gangs, including members of groups like MS-13, known for heinous crimes such as murder, rape, and domestic abuse.

These corrupt, attention-seeking politicians argue that gang members are “victims” of systemic inequality and harsh immigration policies enforced by President Donald Trump, whose administration has cracked down on illegal immigration and gang activity.

At a September 2024 rally in California, Representative Alicia Torres claimed, “Many of these young men were pushed into gangs due to poverty and lack of opportunity. Trump’s policies dehumanized them, painting them as monsters instead of addressing root causes.” Torres pointed to broader social issues, like underfunded schools and discriminatory policing, as drivers of gang involvement, though she avoided directly addressing the victims of gang violence.

Progressive Communist Democrats’ Support for Violent Gang Members

In a groundbreaking move that left critics and many moderate supporters speechless, several high-profile progressive communist democrat politicians gathered for what can be called a “Solidarity Sit-In for the Systematically Misunderstood.” The misunderstood in question? A colorfully tattooed collection of violent illegal alien gang members, including murderers, rapists, and vicious wife-beaters—dubbed by supporters as “Societal Misfits Seeking Redemption.”

Under the banner of “Justice for Literally Everyone, no matter who they maimed or murdered,” the politicians took turns giving impassioned speeches about oppression, systemic injustice, and how being arrested for twelve felonies might be a misunderstood cry for help—or at least, a scheduling error. Reminding victims of violent felonies that “behind every violent crime is a broken system.”

Data from the FBI’s 2023 Crime Report paints a grim picture: MS-13 and similar gangs were linked to over 1,200 violent incidents nationwide, including 300 homicides. Critics, including law enforcement and victims’ advocates, argue that framing such criminals as oppressed minorities subverts justice. “These vicious animals are not victims; they’re predators,” said Sheriff John Callahan of Los Angeles County, citing cases of brutal assaults and murders tied to gang activity.

The controversy intensified when Senator Robert Kline shared a post on X in October 2024, calling for “compassionate reform” to support undocumented gang members through rehabilitation programs rather than deportation or incarceration. The post, which garnered 45,000 likes but twice as many critical replies, was condemned by families of gang violence victims. “My son was killed by MS-13. Where’s the compassion for him?” asked Elena Martinez during a CNN interview.

Trump, speaking at a campaign event in Arizona on October 15, 2024, seized on the issue: “These politicians are coddling murderers and rapists while Americans suffer. It’s a betrayal of our country.”

While defenders of the politicians argue they’re advocating for systemic change, the rhetoric has alienated many who see it as excusing violence. As the divide deepens, the nation grapples with balancing empathy for marginalized groups against the undeniable toll of gang-related crime.

Bottom line…

The progressive communist democrats are a circus of bad ideas held together by hashtags and the artisanal guilt of white, college-educated, wine-guzzling white middle-aged women, many without loving relationships grounded in family values.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have empathy, I’m just saying maybe it should be directed toward the victims and not someone with a neck tattoo saying “Carlos the Strangler.”

Unfortunately, the progressive communist democrats are continuing to play out their grotesque fever dream brought on by excessive virtue signaling and probably expired mushrooms.

We are so screwed.

FROM GOLDEN STATE TO LEFTIST WASTELAND

Ca-welcome

California was once the crown jewel of America — a land of freedom, innovation, natural beauty, and boundless opportunity. It was the state where you could dream big, work hard, and build a better life. The economy boomed. The schools thrived. The streets were safe. People came from all over the world to be a part of it.

That California is dead!

What’s left is a decaying husk, ruled by a single-party machine of radical idiots and ideologues. A progressive-communist-Democrat uniparty has seized total control of the state, and they are driving it into the ground at full speed. This isn’t mismanagement. This is intentional destruction in the name of power.

The architects of California’s collapse are names we all know:

  • Gavin Newsom, the slick, silver-tongued hair-gelled frontman for the far-left elite. He throws lavish parties at the French Laundry while locking down small businesses and sending the working class into ruin.

  • Rob Bonta, the Attorney General, who is more interested in releasing criminals than protecting citizens. Under his watch, crime has soared while victims are ignored.

  • Tony Thurmond, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, focused more on racial activism, gender ideology, and political indoctrination than on math, reading, or preparing kids for real life.

  • London Breed, Karen Bass, Shirley Weber, Barbara Lee, and the rest of the California political ruling class — all cut from the same progressive communist democrat ideological cloth. All are complicit in the decay.

They push one thing above all else: CONTROL! Mask mandates, energy restrictions, housing mandates, speech codes — all wrapped in the language of “equity” and “justice” while the state crumbles beneath them.

What Have They Given Us?

  • Exploding homelessness in every major city — tent cities, open-air drug use, human suffering on full display while billions vanish into failed programs.

  • Crippling taxes and regulations — driving out small businesses and middle-class families while mega-corporations and tech billionaires cozy up to Sacramento for special treatment.

  • Crime without consequence — thanks to radical DAs like George Gascón, violent criminals walk free while law-abiding citizens live in fear.

  • A public school system that is in freefall, where basic academics are tossed aside for fringe ideology and identity politics.

  • Energy blackouts, water shortages, and infrastructure decay — in a state with more natural resources than entire countries.

  • An agricultural bounty was decimated by water diverted to the ocean to save a worthless fish.

This is not progress. It’s not liberalism. It’s not compassion. It’s state-sanctioned collapse, sold to the public as moral superiority.

A One-Party Tyranny

Let’s stop pretending there’s any real political opposition left in California. The GOP is irrelevant, and the so-called “moderates” are just quieter progressives. This is the progressive communist democrat uniparty — a corrupt political cartel that rewards loyalty to ideology and punishes independent thought.

They don’t govern for the people. They govern to preserve their political power.

Dissent is smeared as “hate.” Parental rights are demonized. Merit is mocked. And the only thing the ruling class seems to fear is losing their grip on the narrative.

But the truth is starting to cut through the propaganda. Californians are waking up — or they’re getting out. Over 500,000 people left the state in just a few years. It’s not weather. It’s not cost. It’s the corrupt political system with increasing government, regulations, taxes, and pandering to non-citizen illegal aliens.

Can It Be Saved?

Maybe. But not by playing nice. Not by hoping the next election will fix it. California needs a political reckoning — and it won’t come from within the uniparty. It will come from people willing to speak the truth, resist, and build outside the system they’ve hijacked.

Bottom line…

California isn’t just sick. It’s being deliberately poisoned.

And the only cure is to take back power from the progressive communist democrat idiots and ideologues who ruined what was once the greatest state in the union.

When you have nobody in the State to challenge and check your excesses, this can and will lead to the arrogance of the elite, where you believe there will be no consequences for mistakes, evil actions, or outright corruption. 

We are so screwed.

THE VATICAN AFTER FRANCIS: CHOOSING THE NEXT DIRECTION

P-sign

With the death of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025, the Catholic Church enters a pivotal period of transition that will shape its future path.

As the first pope from Latin America (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Pope Francis (Jorge Mario Bergoglio) left a lasting impact on the Church by championing a far-left agenda featuring social justice, wealth redistribution, global climate change, and a vision of greater inclusivity.

As a great thought experiment, and a complex one with profound implications for the coming years, let us consider the hypothetical of the future pope continuing to move the Catholic Church ideologically leftward, diverging further from traditional conservative values on the Church’s identity, governance, and its influence on the broader Catholic community.

Consider the implications of a transformative papal policy that reimagines the Catholic Church’s role in a rapidly changing world.

Some of the issues being discussed:

  • Ordination of married men in regions facing priest shortages

  • Reframing celibacy as a spiritual gift rather than a mandatory requirement — shifting the language from obligatory to voluntary

  • More nuanced positions on divorce and remarriage

  • Rethinking the role of women in significant leadership roles, including the priesthood

  • More latitude for regional bishops’ conferences to adapt Church teachings to indigenous cultural influences

  • Support for non-abortive contraception, framed as “responsible love”

  • Full pastoral welcome for transgender and nonbinary Catholics

  • A call for decriminalizing drug use and treating addiction as a public health issue

  • Advocacy for restorative justice, prison reform, and an end to the death penalty

  • A controversial appeal for global dialogue on assisted dying, especially in extreme cases of terminal suffering

  • Open borders, framing migration as a “God-given right”

  • International wealth taxation and redistribution to fight inequality and climate devastation

  • Condemnation of the current elitist global order as “sacrilegious”

  • Unprecedented transparency and accountability, especially in financial or sexual abuse scandals, which can result in the decentralization of power from the Curia to local churches.

Many believe that a more progressive pope might make the Church more appealing to younger generations, lapsed Catholics, and non-Catholics, especially in Western societies, by emphasizing topics like LGBTQ+ inclusion, women in leadership, interfaith dialogue, and climate action.

Of course, such a move would predictably widen rifts among traditionalist Catholics and those in traditionally conservative regions — particularly in Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, where the faithful often lean toward orthodoxy.  

Then there is the danger of an unstoppable rift as a progressive pope would appoint like-minded bishops and cardinals, reshaping the College of Cardinals and making the next election likely to continue the same leftward trajectory — unless there’s a strong conservative backlash.

Bottom line…

Unfortunately, the leadership decision is not susceptible to persuasion by the media, the faithful, or others outside the eligible voting members of the College of Cardinals.

It should be noted that Pope Francis appointed 108 of the current 135 cardinal electors, many of them younger than traditional appointees, significantly shaping the future of the Catholic Church. This represents 80% of the 135 cardinals eligible to elect the next Pope. His appointments emphasized global representation, with cardinals from 76 countries, including 25 nations previously unrepresented in the College of Cardinals. Notably, he elevated prelates from regions such as Rwanda, Mongolia, and South Sudan, reflecting his commitment to a less Eurocentric and more globally inclusive Church.

The Catholic Church is at a crossroads.

Are the Cardinals willing to confront the evil of progressivism and Marxist-based liberation theology directly or moderate into a “go along to get along” leftward drift?

THE STATE OF MISSOURI VS. JUSTICE: WHY IS CHRISTOPHER DUNN STILL BEING PROSECUTED AFTER 34 YEARS IN PRISON?

Dunn

In a just world, when a man is declared factually innocent by not one, but two judges, he walks free.

In Missouri, however, justice is less about truth than protecting reputations. Christopher Dunn has spent over three decades in prison for a crime he did not commit. Despite clear evidence of his innocence and judges affirming it, the state is still fighting to keep him incarcerated. Why? Because freeing him would mean admitting that the system failed badly.

The Missouri Supreme Court ruled this week that Attorney General Andrew Bailey has the authority to appeal the exoneration of Christopher Dunn, a man who spent 34 years in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit.

This Court granted the State of Missouri’s transfer application and ordered the cause transferred prior to opinion by the court of appeals as to the issue raised in the court of appeals’ show cause order—whether the State of Missouri has the right to appeal a judgment vacating or setting aside a conviction under section 547.031.1 This Court holds the State of Missouri is an aggrieved party with a statutory right to appeal under section 512.020(5) and retransfers this cause to the court of appeals to overrule the circuit attorney’s motion to dismiss and proceed with the state’s appeal on the merits. <SUPREME COURT OF MISSOURI (en banc) Opinion No. SC100878 issued April 15, 2025 >

A Flawed Case Built on Police and Prosecutorial Coercion

Christopher Dunn, a Missouri man, was wrongfully convicted of the 1990 murder of 15-year-old Ricco Rogers in St. Louis and spent 34 years in prison. At age 18, Dunn was sentenced to life without parole based on the testimony of two young eyewitnesses, aged 12 and 14, who later recanted, claiming coercion by police and prosecutors. No physical evidence ever linked Dunn to the crime, and he maintained his innocence throughout. The recantations and allegations of police and prosecutorial misconduct should have been enough to re-examine the case. But it wasn’t.

Judges Agree: He Is Innocent

In 2020, Judge William Hickle reviewed the evidence and found what many advocates had been saying for years: Christopher Dunn is “factually innocent.” A second judge reaffirmed this conclusion. These aren’t just legal technicalities; “factual innocence” means that, had this evidence been available at trial, no reasonable jury would have found Dunn guilty. It’s a damning indictment of the original case and a glaring call for an immediate statement of exoneration from Attorney General Andrew Bailey.

And yet, here we are.

Why Is He Still Being Prosecuted?

The Missouri Attorney General’s office has responded to Dunn’s exoneration not with action toward exoneration, but with resistance. Their reasoning? Under Missouri law, even actual innocence is not always enough to overturn a conviction unless the death penalty is involved. In other words, a living, innocent man can rot in prison because the system values procedure over truth.

Let that sink in.

Protecting the System at All Costs

The state is aggrieved by the circuit court’s amended judgment vacating the convictions because the state has an interest in the finality of its convictions, and the circuit court’s amended judgment vacated or set aside those convictions. <SUPREME COURT OF MISSOURI (en banc) Opinion No. SC100878 issued April 15, 2025 >

What’s happening here is a desperate attempt by the State of Missouri to protect its institutions. Admitting Dunn’s wrongful conviction means confronting the uncomfortable truths of police misconduct, prosecutorial error, and judicial failure. It means acknowledging that the lives shattered by a flawed legal process are not outliers but warnings of a clear and present judicial danger to other defendants.

Rather than face this shameful episode, Missouri is doubling down on legal technicalities, preserving its reputation at the expense of a man’s freedom. Christopher Dunn is a casualty of a system that is more concerned with appearances than accountability.

Bottom line…

Christopher Dunn’s continued persecution is not just a personal tragedy; it’s a national disgrace. If the State of Missouri can hold on to an innocent man after two judges say “let him go,” what does that say about Missouri’s justice system? What does it say about those individuals supervising the judicial system?

The fight for Dunn’s freedom is not just about one man. It’s about whether we, as a society, are willing to demand integrity from our legal system, or if we’ll stand by and let it bury its mistakes.

Where is the notorious civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and his media circus? Where are the “Justice for Christopher Dunn” marches? Where is the multi-million dollar admission of wrongdoing?

With these types of police and judicial bad actors, we are so screwed.

CRIME IN AMERICA: PROGRESSIVE COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING PUBLIC SAFETY PUBLIC INTO POLITICAL STRATEGY

PCD-JAILBREAK

For decades, Democrats positioned themselves as champions of law and order.

However, from the Clinton-era 1994 Crime Bill to Obama’s calls for secure borders, the Democrat party once promised to protect Americans from criminal activity and illegal entry. However, under the Obama and Biden administrations, something has clearly changed. Sanctuary cities exploded, violent repeat offenders were seeing their most serious charges plea bargained away, and illegal alien criminals were being shielded from ICE. Violent repeat offenders were being returned to our communities. Why?

The answer may be more calculated—and more dangerous—than most Americans realize.

From Public Safety to Political Strategy.

Progressive communist democrats have increasingly aligned themselves with individuals who have broken U.S. immigration laws—even those who commit identity theft, fraud, or violent and gang-related crimes. In places like New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, St. Louis, and Chicago, local policing policies now prevent local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities, even in cases involving violent criminal behavior.

Just one example: In 2023, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant arrested multiple times in NYC—including for assault—was released again and again under sanctuary city protections. He later appeared in a viral video assaulting a police officer in Times Square. And yet, progressives continue to argue that such individuals are victims of a “broken system.”

Is Chaos the Point?

On closer observation, this acceptance of lawlessness appears to be part of a deeper political agenda.

By supporting marginalized criminal populations and leaning into identity-based narratives, far-left progressive communist democrats—deeply rooted in Marxist/Leninist theory—seek to fracture the American social fabric. They frame enforcement of immigration law as “oppression” and paint law-abiding citizens as complicit in systemic injustice. The result? Division, confusion, and fear as illegal aliens breach U.S. sovereignty and invade America.

There is little doubt that the Cloward-Piven strategy, developed by two communist professors, is being used to overwhelm the legal system to force a mass amnesty of illegal aliens rather than deport them.

This climate of chaos and lawfare not only weakens trust in law enforcement but also sets the stage for more extreme reforms—like disarming the public in the name of “gun control,” expanding federal oversight of local police, or growing the power of unelected bureaucracies.

The Rise of the Criminal-Judicial Complex

Enter the criminal-judicial complex: a tangled alliance of activist lawyers, public defenders, advocacy groups, and progressive activist judges. As cases flood the courts and the system gets clogged, the demand for “alternatives to incarceration” rises, many of which funnel billions into programs overseen by ideologically motivated non-governmental organizations. Meanwhile, the criminal bar—especially in major cities—makes its living defending a growing pool of repeat offenders, including illegal immigrants who dodge ICE holds.

This isn’t just neglect. It’s policy.

The 2026 Election Wildcard

With the 2026 midterms approaching, all eyes are on the House and Senate majorities. Could soft-on-crime immigration policies be part of a lawfare strategy, meant to destabilize conservative leadership, overwhelm state resources, and reshape the national narrative before Americans head to the polls?

I say yes, while the progressive propagandists in the legacy media dismiss the idea as a conspiracy. Regardless of where you stand, the facts speak for themselves: violent criminals are being protected, laws are being ignored, and those who raise concerns are being labeled as “extremists.”

Bottom Line

The question isn’t just why progressive communist democrats are rejecting the law and leaving communities defenseless by protecting criminal illegal immigrants. The real question is: What are they preparing for?

Because if legal contravention and political chaos are the plan… It’s working.

We are so screwed,

RACE BAITERS: THE MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR HUSTLE OF CORPORATE COWARDICE

Sharp-boycott

There is little doubt in my mind that the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) movement is little more than another progressive scam ginned up by pointy-head academics, particularly lawyers looking for a payday.

While its proponents assert that the DEI movement is a multifaceted initiative aimed at fostering fair treatment, representation, and opportunity for all individuals, particularly those from marginalized communities, the reality is that it is, instead, a political weapon used by “progressive communist Democrats” and “American Marxists” to gain political power and profit, through reverse racism and placing color over competence.

Once again, we see the “Reverend Al Sharpton,” race-hustler and provocateur, with his hand out, not in friendship, but grasping for dollars…

REV. SHARPTON ISSUES STATEMENT ON REV. JAMAL BRYANT’S PARTICIPATION IN MEETING WITH TARGET CEO BRIAN CORNELL

Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network (NAN), issued the following statement after Rev. Jamal Bryant confirmed he attended yesterday’s meeting with Target CEO Brian Cornell.

“I am glad to see some of the initial confusion has been cleared up, as Rev. Bryant has publicly shared he attended the meeting I had Thursday with Target CEO Brian Cornell at NAN’s office in New York. It is imperative we make it clear, on the record, that he and I are aligned, especially as those seeking to dismantle DEI will sow divisions to advance their cause. We took a photo to put it crystal clear that the CEO and I met, but this is not just a photo opp. This was a message that we will go public with progress and what the answers are for the things we asked for.” <Source>

REV. SHARPTON ISSUES STATEMENT AFTER MEETING WITH PEPSICO EXECUTIVES AT COMPANY’S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS THIS MORNING  

Rev. Al Sharpton, Founder and President of the National Action Network (NAN), issued the following statement after meeting with PepsiCo leadership at the company’s global headquarters in Purchase, NY this morning.

“This morning, I and several members of NAN met with PepsiCo Chairman Ramon Laguarta and CEO of PepsiCo North America Steven Williams for more than an hour to discuss our grievances over reports they were rolling back nearly $500 million in DEI commitments. It was a constructive conversation, which PepsiCo agreed to hold within the 21 days we gave them to meet. We agreed to follow up meetings within the next few days. After that continued dialogue, NAN Chairman Dr. W. Franklyn Richardson and I, both former members of the company’s African American Advisory Board, will make a final determination and recommendation to the organization on what we will do around PepsiCo moving forward, as we continue to deal with a broader swath of corporations with whom we will either boycott or buy-cott.” <Source>

Many a truth is told in jest…

A Modern Morality Tale: Reverend Elijah Truth and the Gospel of Leverage

Reverend Elijah Truth was not your average preacher. Clad in thousand-dollar suits and armed with a custom-made Bible embossed with gold trim, he preached not from the pulpit of a church, but from the conference rooms of Fortune 500 companies.

His ministry, Voices of Equity and Justice Foundation—a tax-exempt, nonprofit juggernaut—was marketed as a beacon of corporate diversity and inclusion consulting. In reality, it operated more like a moral shakedown syndicate with gospel overtones.

Reverend Truth had mastered the art of the press conference. Whenever a corporation stumbled—an executive’s offhand comment, a controversial hiring decision, or just an old photo resurfacing—Reverend Truth would appear, haloed by cameras, demanding justice.

“If they won’t listen to the cries of the oppressed, they’ll hear the thunder of the boycott!” he’d proclaim to the applause of rented protestors holding freshly printed signs.

But behind the holy rhetoric was a chilling offer: either donate generously to Voices of Equity and Justice or hire them for extensive “anti-racism training programs,” or else prepare for a smear campaign so fiery it could melt stock prices.

Most companies paid up. Not out of guilt, but fear. CEOs whispered to one another about the time a rival firm refused—and was promptly featured in a blistering exposé coordinated by the Reverend’s progressive mainstream media contacts. The story trended for two weeks. Their brand took a hit. Their board panicked. The CEO was out by Friday.

So when Reverend Truth called, executives didn’t ask “how much?” They asked, “Where do we wire it?”

And so the Reverend prospered. His mansion in Atlanta, his fleet of black Escalades, his private retreats in St. Lucia—all funded under the righteous banner of justice.

Of course, the press never questioned him. Who would dare? His critics were labeled as enemies of progress. The few who tried ended up in headlines themselves, accused of bias, insensitivity, or worse, racism.

It was a holy empire, powered by fear, cloaked in virtue.

And Reverend Elijah Truth? He slept like a baby, knowing that in corporate America, redemption had a price—and he knew precisely how to invoice it.

Bottom line…

At some point, corporate executives must rediscover the backbone to stand up for the interests of their shareholders and the integrity of their institutions. For too long, they’ve cowered before self-appointed moral arbiters—activists who wield identity politics like a cudgel, extracting payouts under the guise of “equity” and “anti-racism.”

These race-baiters and professional agitators have built entire careers on leveraging guilt, fear, and the threat of bad press. It’s time for leadership to stop capitulating and start asking tough questions: Does this serve our mission? Does this create value? Or are we simply buying silence from hustlers who see social justice as a business model?

Enough is enough. The next boardroom hero will be the one who finally tells them to pound sand.

We are so screwed.

WELCOME TO THE DEMOCRAT FREAKSHOW: THE RISE OF THE REVOLUTIONARY PARTY OF PERVERSION

Pcd--conference

Once upon a not-so-distant time, in the shattered shell of what used to be the United States of America, a corrupt progressive communist democrat political force slithered its way into power. Not a party of ideas, not a party of values—but a party of projection, perversion, and pathological self-loathing.

They call themselves “Democrats,” as if the use of the historical name can disguise the deep infiltration of communist activists and agitators.

Their motto? “Forward Into Madness.”

This isn’t your average political party. This is a cult of contradiction, an abnormal, dysfunctional, and bizarre coalition of the bizarre. Their platform? A full-throated rejection of reality and an open-armed embrace of every fringe, freakish, and fanatical idea to crawl out of the postmodern swamp.

They are the party of weirdos, losers, and perverts—and proud of it. 

A coalition of manufactured chaos…

The progressive communist democrats pride themselves on inclusivity, so long as you’re not an ordinary, law-abiding, tax-paying American. If you’re a foreign national here illegally, you’re not just welcome but honored. If you reject every cultural norm, great! If you identify as a furrie, or a pansexual anarcho-pagan tree spirit, you might just be presidential material.

They speak the language of the oppressed, though strangely, oppression always seems to be defined by how many flags you can wave at once or how obscure your identity category is. The more niche your suffering, the higher your place in their ideological caste system.

And don’t get them started on vegans. In the progressive communist democrat party, meat is murder, but state-sanctioned child indoctrination and sexual mutilation are preferable as “compassionate governance.”

Projection is their modus operandi…

But what truly sets the progressive communist democrats apart is their mastery of projection. Corruption? They scream it from the rooftops—while handing billion-dollar defense contracts to their cousins and laundering campaign funds through nonprofits with names like “The Center for Ethical Disruption.” Perversion? They shout about “protecting the children,” while writing drag queen story hour into the Department of Education’s official curriculum.

If you criticize them, you’re accused of everything they’re guilty of. Racist? Homophobic? Fascist? Take your pick. All you need to do is ask a question they don’t like, and boom—you’re the reincarnation of Hitler or Mussolini. 

Race over merit…

Merit is dead in the progressive communist democrats’ America—killed off and replaced by a relentless obsession with skin tone. Your skin color now matters more than the content of your character, credentials, or competence. In fact, suggesting otherwise is considered hate speech.

It’s a racial caste system dressed up in the robes of progress. Hiring quotas, reparations programs, and race-based policy decisions aren’t just ideas—they’re moral imperatives. Unity? Not here. Division is the currency, and victimhood is the purchase.

Meanwhile, any actual attempt to treat people equally, regardless of color, is denounced as white supremacy. Orwell would be rolling in his grave if he hadn’t already been canceled for being “problematic.” 

Sex as a sacrament… 

You thought sex was private? Not anymore. In the world of the progressive communist democrats, your sexual orientation isn’t just your business—it’s your entire identity. And the more obscure, controversial, or perverse, the better.

Children are now “gender explorers.” Schools push hormone therapy while banning aspirin. The line between healthy development and state-sponsored grooming is so blurred it might as well not exist.

Sex isn’t something sacred, it’s a tool—weaponized, politicized, and pumped into every institution like toxic gas. Questioning this hypersexualized crusade marks you as an enemy of progress—one who clearly needs re-education, or at the very least, censorship.

America’s enemies are the friends and funders… 

The progressive communist democrats’ foreign policy could be written in crayon: “America Last.” If a regime hates the U.S., they’re in line for aid and admiration. Terror states? Misunderstood freedom fighters. Authoritarian dystopias? Models of “equity-based governance.”

Meanwhile, veterans sleep under bridges. Farmers go bankrupt. Small businesses rot. But hey, at least the progressive communist democrats sent $400 million to the Trans-Inclusive Sustainable Cow Protection Initiative in Outer Uzbekistan.

Prestigious institutions of higher learning are willing to accept millions of dollars from our enemies, including their foreign students who steal our intellectual property or organize to overthrow our capitalist system. 

Bottom line…

In the progressive communist democrats’ party of projection, there is no truth—only narrative. No standards—only identity. No justice—only theater. And the longer they reign, the more the average American becomes the true dissident in their own homeland.

But be careful saying any of this out loud. In progressive communist democrat-run America, questioning the revolution is the only real crime. Everything else is “authentic expression.”

When the weirdos run the asylum, sanity becomes rebellion. And rebellion, my friend, might be our only way out.

DEMFUTURE

I prefer not to be killed by a drunk driver who shouldn't be here in the first place.

We are so screwed.
