Conservatives need to limit the initiative petition process if they hope to maintain some red foothold in this country and prevent unchecked mob rule.

Forget about the presidential election. Conservatives can still fight back in some states if Kamala Harris wins. But if they don't act to overturn the progressive ballot initiative process, where George Soros, his son Alexander, and their allies use a small percentage of the population to push poll tested talking points as constitutional changes, conservatives risk losing all 50 states to despotism.

Imagine voting yourself a pay raise through a ballot initiative. Imagine a process where just a small fraction of voters could gather signatures to create a constitutional right to handouts. Could you ever rally 51% to oppose such an idea, even in most red states?

Who wouldn't want to tax wealthy companies for some free cash? This is the kind of 'elective despotism' the founders warned against.

A constitutional republic differs from a simple democracy because governance is filtered through elected representatives rather than the people directly. It also has a constitution that enshrines fixed rights, protecting them from the capricious whims of a manipulated majority. This is why our founders made changing the Constitution extremely difficult, requiring two-thirds of both houses to support an amendment and three-quarters of the states to ratify it.

However, in most states, changing the state constitution is much easier. A simple majority vote at the ballot box by the people can amend the state's constitution. Thanks to the Progressives in the early 20th century, 21 states allow initiative petitions to put these changes to a vote. In 17 of those states, mainly out West, initiatives can directly change the state's constitution.

As a result, a handful of well-funded special interests can easily gather the 5-8% of voter signatures needed to place a ballot initiative, often by targeting the most liberal areas of the state. They then use poll-tested, appealing language that avoids scrutiny through the legislative process, spend tens of millions on campaigns, and change the constitution every two years.

So Hamas killed six hostages as the IDF was closing in on their position.  One of the hostages was an American.

For years, the Democratic Party has treated the black vote as if it were a given — a locked-down, guaranteed asset in its electoral strategy. But as the 2024 election approaches, this assumption is proving dangerously naïve. Among Generation Z, particularly young black men, there is a growing shift toward supporting Donald Trump, a trend that Democrats can no longer afford to ignore.

The narrative that the Democrats have a monopoly on the black vote is crumbling. We are witnessing a significant change in political allegiances, driven by dissatisfaction with the status quo and a realization that the Democrats have taken the black community's support for granted. This shift is evident in the increasing number of young black men who are questioning the party's track record and turning toward Trump as a viable alternative.

For too long, the Democratic Party has relied on identity politics, assuming that merely showing up and checking the right demographic boxes would be enough to win elections. But Gen Z, particularly young black men, are not so easily swayed. They are looking for tangible results, and they are willing to cross party lines to get them.

Consider the economic policies that have left so many black communities behind. Democrats have long promised to uplift marginalized communities, but the reality is far different. In cities across America, which have been under Democratic control for decades, black neighborhoods are still struggling with high unemployment, poor schools, and crumbling infrastructure. The party's focus on welfare programs and government dependency has done little to create real economic mobility. Instead, these policies have kept many black Americans trapped in a cycle of poverty, dependent on the very politicians who claim to be their advocates.

Kamala Harris, who should be a beacon of hope for the black community, has instead been a disappointment. Her record as a prosecutor in California is riddled with policies that disproportionately targeted black men. While she now claims to be a champion for racial justice, her past actions tell a different story.

Tim Walz's own family reject him and say they are all voting for Donald Trump.  Tampon Tim is a communist and they hate communism.

Leftists are so racist they claim black people should be allowed to commit crimes because, supposedly, we just can't expect blacks to not commit crimes.  How is that not racist?  Claiming blacks are so inferior they aren't capable of understanding the theft, rape, and murder are bad things.

On, and look how the left wing media spin this.  A black flash mob tried to rob a store and attack the employee.  The black criminals started punching and kicking the employee while trying to to grab his gun.  The left wing propagandists tried to claim the employee who was defending himself is racist and should be put in jail.

Those prog hypocrites would have done the same thing.

Wow.  Biden DOJ Chief of Public Affairs got caught on hidden camera admitting all the charges against Trump are "made up nonsense" and politically motivated to try to damage his reelection campaign and influence the election results.

He also admits they engaged in the deliberate stacking of charges which is illegal.

Prominent attorney Alan Dershowitz announced his departure from the Democratic Party, citing several "anti-Jewish" lawmakers that make up the ranks of the party and the recent Democratic National Convention in which Vice President Kamala Harris became the party's presidential nominee.

Speaking with radio host Zev Brenner on "Talkline with Zev Brenner," Dershowitz cited the DNC, which he said gave legitimacy to anti-Israel speakers, and anti-Israel protesters outside the gathering.

Do you think this retired Naval Intelligence Officer is correct?  He is claiming their is 60% chance of war against China in the next three years.  He claims Xi will try to invade Taiwan this setting off the war.
