Trump Conviction Proves Justice System is Fully Weaponized Against Republicans
Rubicon Crossed, Banana Republic Straight Ahead
|  | |
The conviction yesterday in New York of Donald Trump marks a historical first—no former American president has ever faced such a legal fate.
Yet, this unprecedented event reveals more about the state of our justice system than it does about Trump’s character or political future. This verdict is a glaring example of how the justice system has been weaponized to undermine a political opponent, particularly one who remains a formidable challenger to the incumbent administration.
And Trump Nation has a few surprises for our smug and elitist fellow Americans in the justice system.
Polls show that Trump’s conviction will not significantly impact his support base. In fact, it may be making it stronger.
According to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, nearly three-fourths of registered independents stated that a guilty verdict would not affect their vote. Among Republicans, 25% said they would be more inclined to support Trump post-conviction. These numbers indicate that despite the legal setbacks, Trump’s core support remains robust and undeterred.
This resilience among Trump’s supporters is not surprising. For years, Trump has been the target of numerous investigations, lawsuits, and media scrutiny. Each instance, rather than diminishing his appeal, has often galvanized his base, who view these attacks as clearly and totally politically motivated. The latest conviction is perceived by many as another chapter in this ongoing saga of partisan persecution.
| |
The justice system’s apparent bias is alarming. The selective prosecution of Trump, especially when juxtaposed with the relative leniency shown towards other political figures, underscores a troubling double standard. This weaponization of justice sets a dangerous precedent, where legal actions are blatantly used to influence political outcomes rather than uphold impartial justice.
In a democratic society, the legal system must be fair and unbiased. The conviction of Donald Trump only strengthens the perception that justice is being manipulated for political ends. As the 2024 election approaches, it is crucial for voters to recognize and question these manipulations, ensuring that their choices are guided by facts and principles, not by the machinations of a compromised justice system.
With the Federal Government now clearly weaponized, it is obvious the justice system provided the ammunition.
“We The People” will not accept our government being weaponized and used against us for political advantage.
And as such, which past or current President of the United States is next?
NOTE:
Immediately following the verdict reading yesterday, the Trump47 campaign raised $34.8M, which is double Trump47’s best fundraising day ever.
Nearly 1/3 of the donors in that window of time were
FIRST TIME POLITICAL DONORS.
Americans are angry.
And until election day in November, Americans of every political stripe will be voting for Donald J. Trump - with their money.

DNC = Do Nothing Constructive
DNC’s Virtual Nomination Is Only To Cover For Their Lost Tail
| |
|
In an unprecedented maneuver to save themselves from themselves, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced plans to virtually nominate President Biden ahead of the party’s August Chicago convention.
This decision comes in the wake of the Ohio state Legislature's lack of willingness to resolve a critical issue: fixing the mass incompetence by every employee at the DNC, who apparently doesn't own a calendar, to ensure Biden's name appears on the November ballot.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison’s announcement underscores the urgency and gravity of the situation as the DNC ship is listing heavily port-side with bow up while Captain Biden is rearranging the deck furniture.
This massive DNC lack of attention to detail has significant national implications. The inability to secure ballot access for a sitting president highlights the dysfunction and rolling disaster that is the DNC.
| |
Ohio Senate Republicans, in an attempt to fix a problem they didn’t create, proposed a bill to extend the certification deadline, but attached a controversial provision banning foreign contributions to ballot initiatives. This was a simple and common sense provision the Democrats would not accept. Apparently, foreign money in Democrat elections is such a priority that it’s a political hill to die upon.
Read that last sentence again.
The state House's efforts to create a permanent fix also fell through, leaving Ohio voters in a precarious position, thanks to the DNC.
The DNC’s decision to hold a virtual roll call is a pathetic fix to their self-inflicted wound. Harrison’s statement makes it clear that this move is about the blue donkey’s search to find its missing tail.

"Oh tail! Oh tail!
Where could you be?
Why can't you stay
attached to poor ole me!"

Voter Registration, Candidate Filing Deadline Monday,
June 3rd, 2024
| |
|
As the election season heats up, Kansas is approaching a critical deadline for candidates wishing to run for office in the upcoming elections.
The final day for candidates to file their paperwork is next Monday June 3, 2024, a date that has many prospective and current officeholders rushing to meet the requirements.
This filing deadline is crucial for candidates at all levels, from county commissions and county-wide positions to state legislative seats and federal offices. The process ensures that candidates are officially registered to appear on the ballot for the primary elections set to take place on August 6, 2024.
| |
The state has seen a surge in political interest, with many new candidates emerging across Kansas. This increased interest highlights the dynamic political landscape in Kansas, where issues such as property taxes, property rights, tax policy, education, healthcare, and economic development are at the forefront of voter concerns.
The candidate filing deadline for voters marks the beginning of a busy election season. Once the list of candidates is finalized, voters can expect a flurry of campaign activities. Candidate forums, town halls, door-knocking activities, and lots of campaign mail, texts, and yard signs will become commonplace as candidates vie for their support.
Please take the time to research the candidates in your area - and offer folks a drink of water and a smile when they're at your doorstep! And regardless of agreement or disagreement please always be kind and respectful of each other.
Note: For more information on campaign-related signage, please check out the Kansas Law below.

KSGOP Prepared to Fully Support Republicans in 2024 | |
|
With the 2024 election just around the corner, I would like to take a moment to let you know about what the KSGOP is offering to candidates and volunteers, from precinct committee person to US Congress.
First is our data and volunteer platform Numinar.
Campaigns around Kansas are knocking doors, sending text messages, making calls, polling, and accessing voter data through this innovative software. If you’re a data junky like myself, the AI mapping of poll results across your whole dataset is one of the coolest ways I’ve seen AI used in politics. For example, I can ask 300 people in Miami County how they feel about lowering property taxes, and then Numinar can predict how other voters in Miami County will feel about lowering property taxes.
After working with various data platforms in the campaign realm, Numinar is by far the best I’ve ever used. Don’t just take my word for it, CampaignTech awarded Numinar Best Software in 2023.
The best part for candidates and volunteer across Kansas is that the KSGOP offers Numinar to all candidates and volunteers for free, if you need help getting started, reach out to me at [email protected].
| |
|
As Executive Director, I’m happy to travel the state, talk about campaigns and elections, and offer trainings. If your group would like me to come speak, let me know. I have worked on various campaigns through the years and am happy to help elect Republicans in your area.
KSGOP is also offering Non-Profit Mail to Republicans across Kansas. This allows campaigns to use our indicia – saving big money on postage. KSGOP has utilized this lower mail rate and text messaging, door knocking, and calling through Numinar to help Republicans win, leading to nearly 80% of Republicans winning in the last local election. While those numbers are great, we need your help to make them even better!
Please sign up to volunteer at https://www.kansas.gop/take-action or make a small donation today so that we can send texts and mailers across Kansas. After all, you are the reason we are able to win elections – the KSGOP grassroots is the second to none!
If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, text, or email!
It’s an honor to serve as your KSGOP Executive Director,
Dakotah Parshall

Sharice Davids Votes Against Protecting Your Family | |
|
Sharice Davids, KS CD-3, twice voted “no” on the impeachment of failed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
Leading up to and following the first impeachment vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson declined to vote on a bill sent by the U.S. Senate for military aid to Ukraine, citing the absence of provisions for U.S. border security. The political maneuvering forced a bright light on the importance of the U.S./Mexico border and drew criticism from Democratic representative Davids, who accused politicians of playing games.
With Republicans eyeing the upcoming elections, the focus on border issues will intensify. A decrease in illegal crossings this January has been noted due to Texas Governor Abbott blocking the border in that state with the help of many other states from across the Union. Assistance of Kansas National Guard on this important matter did not come from Kansas as ultra-liberal and divisive Kansas Governor Laura Kelly ignored the majority of Kansans and sat silent taking no action whatsoever.
The impeachment, based on allegations of incompetence, passed narrowly. Senate support for conviction remains uncertain but Kansans encourage their U.S. Senators to support the impeachment of Mayorkas.
Border security consistently ranks high on the overall concerns of Kansans and Americans. U.S. Border Security must be a priority shown by our elected officials to maintain the support of Kansas Republicans.
In Kansas' 3rd Congressional District, immigration and border security are of critical importance and related issues resonate across political divides. As the campaign unfolds, the border debate will intersect with broader political narratives, shaping the electoral landscape in Kansas CD-3 and beyond.
Republicans in CD-3 are encouraged to look into their current member of Congress’s voting record and discover for themselves that we have our very own Nancy Pelosi - right here in Kansas.

KSGOP Petition
Tell Ultra-Liberal
Kansas Governor
Laura Kelly
to support Texas
and Secure Our
Southern Border
| |
|
Sign the petition now!
CLICK HERE
Send a strong and bold message to ultra-liberal Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to support Texas’ efforts to secure our southern border.
Kansas should be supporting the state of Texas’ efforts to secure our southern border since Joe Biden & Company have abdicated their constitutional responsibility.
There is nothing controversial about securing and defending our border, but Laura Kelly continues doddering instead of engaging as most Kansans’ would prefer.
Every State
is a
Border State
Laura Kelly claims to be “middle of the road,” but that statement doesn't apply to “middle of the border”.
Governor Kelly’s silence on this issue is both stunning and shameful.
So why is ultra-liberal Kansas Governor Kelly so quiet?
That's an excellent question.
Tell her to get busy Saving America right now.

Classified documents were found...
At the Penn Biden Center?
"That's correct."
In President Biden's garage?
"Yes."
And in his basement den?
"Yes."
And his main floor office?
"Correct."
And his third floor den?
"Correct."
At the University of Delaware?
"Correct."
And at the Biden Institute?
"Correct."
Was Biden, at any time, authorized to take classified documents?
“No.”
This is a weekly reminder that Joe Biden, President of the United States, and his son, Hunter Biden, are liars and kingpins in a crime syndicate ring.
This is also your reminder Biden has weaponized the US Courts, DOJ, FBI, EPA, DOE, DOI, and the entirety of the US Federal Government AGAINST YOU.
The Biden family has betrayed America, committing the crime of treason.
They must be held accountable at the polls.
#NeverForget

Americans overwhelmingly believe Joe Biden has failed as the President of the United States, is too old, and is mentally incapable of serving again.
Joe Biden has failed on many topics over the last 3+
years, and here are just a few of those failures;
Botched Afghanistan withdrawal plunging that country into Sharia Law and women of all ages into a miserable existence.
Where are womens rights groups on this?
America instantly surrendered energy independence for energy dependence simply because Joe Biden was grinding an ax.
Where are the big labor unions on this?
Inflation has skyrocketed and Biden thinks Americans are stupid and don't see and feel it.
Where is YOUR voice promoting Republican principles and decrying this disastrous Administration?
Make America Great Again!
