SAVE Act On Life Support

This weekend, while corporate media chases shiny distractions, five huge Trump stories are breaking that actually matter to your life and to America’s future. First, there’s quiet but very good news on the SAVE America Act. After four Republicans betrayed voters on the first vote, a second vote flipped when Senator Susan Collins changed to “yes” following a conversation with Senator Mike Lee. That gives Trump 50 GOP votes plus VP J.D. Vance for a functional 51‑vote majority. The bill still needs 60 votes under the filibuster, but this proves that if the filibuster ever drops, Trump has the raw votes to ram through major election‑integrity reforms and big pieces of his agenda.

At the same time, the swamp is fighting back hard. A left‑wing federal judge just shredded one of Trump’s common‑sense immigration safeguards, blocking a policy that put green cards, work permits, and some asylum decisions on hold for people from 39 high‑risk countries after an Afghan migrant allegedly shot two National Guard troops. Trump based the pause on security data and taxpayer costs; the judge smeared it as “anti‑immigrant,” reopening the pipeline and putting foreign interests ahead of American workers.

Out in California, confidence in elections is taking another hit as late mail‑in ballot dumps erode Spencer Pratt’s lead and heavily favor far‑left Nithya Raman, while the establishment shrugs and says, “That’s just how mail‑ins work.” And overseas, Trump is walking a tightrope: nearly 100 days into his “Epic Fury” campaign on Iran, U.S. forces are still intercepting drones and missiles while Tehran blames America for “breaking” a ceasefire Iran keeps violating. Meanwhile, Zelensky has suddenly called for direct talks with Putin and a temporary ceasefire, trying to grab the world’s attention before Ukraine falls off Washington’s radar.

Taken together, these stories show exactly where we are: Trump is gaining leverage in the Senate, exposed by activist judges at home, undercut by sketchy election systems, and tested abroad—yet still fighting to put American citizens first. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Platner Linked to Leftist Kingpin

Graham Platner has concrete ties with Morris Katz,  the leftist strategist who helped steer Zohran Mamdani into the mayoral office in New York City. The 27-year-old campaign strategist, a Skidmore College dropout, also previously advised John Fetterman’s Senate campaign in Pennsylvania as well as Dan Osborne, a so-called “independent” running in Nebraska.

Here, Liz Wheeler traces Katz’s rise as a leftist kingmaker, as well as his less-than-savory history as co-author of the book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty: And Shouldn’t be Googling: For Curious Boys. Wheeler considers it a prime example of “grooming.”

She also touches on the Brown University leftist Daniel Moraff, another key Platner advisor, with roots in the Democratic Socialists of America. Moraff also worked for Osborne as well as for U.S. Rep. Summer Lee,  the Pennsylvania Democrat who is perhaps the most anti-Israeli member of the U.S. House. In short, we’re not going to call either of them “groomers,” but they are without a doubt socialist trailer trash. Real scum.  Here’s more from Wheeler.

Graham Platner’s wife might say she stands by him, but the Democrats at large are quickly bailing and calling for an end to the adulterous candidate’s Senate race in Maine. Even the leftist idiots in the fake news at MS NOW are calling upon Democrats to dump Platner and replace him with someone more palatable to the public. They fear that leaving him in the race will tarnish the party as a whole in November and prompt a massive bloodbath.

No matter what happens to Platner, Republicans are going to come out ahead after this fiasco. Incumbent Susan Collins has to now be perceived as the likely Senate winner in Maine, and Republicans elsewhere will also perform better as the Democrats look hypocritical and weak, not to mention amoral. This is the dude who not only seeks partners beyond his wife, but also has a Nazi tattoo emblazoned on his chest. The only lingering question: How long before the Democrats make Platner walk the Swalwell plank? Here’s more from Langley Outdoor Academy.

Maine: Rally Round A Nazi!

Democrats in Maine are left with a far-left nincompoop as their sole candidate to challenge incumbent Republican Susan Collins for a U.S. Senate seat. Meet Graham Platner, the oyster farmer with a Nazi skull and bones tattoo emblazoned across his chest.

Platner is the lone Democratic Senate candidate after Maine Gov. Janet Mills withdrew from the race. She’s apparently scared to death that she will be dragged down in a deeply rooted Somali fraud case. She’s also afraid of Platner’s support among the far-left loonies who now dominate so much of Democratic politics.

Platner’s Nazi insignia marks him as a fascist at heart, although he has covered up the tattoo, which he said he got over the course of a drunken night in Croatia. But he also has said some truly bizarre stuff about women who get raped and also has dumped on rural residents.

In short, it will be interesting to watch how the lefties contort like pretzels to justify running this whack job of a candidate. Here’s more from Neil Johnson.

Here’s a New York Post feature that notes how Platner has the support of many Democrats, as he’s already been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Ellen Warren and Chuck Schumer.

But John Fetterman sang a different tune, saying Maine would be perceived as a bunch of idiots if they elect “an asshole with a Nazi tattoo.” You have to wonder: How long before Fetterman switches parties?

New SAVE Act Over The Top!

The new SAVE Act, protecting America’s election integrity, won’t become a relic. U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has become the 50th senator to confirm she will vote to approve the act, meaning it can now become law.

This act will safeguard against many of the election abuses and fraud that Democrats have used to illegally gain election. The fraud has become much more prevalent in recent years, and needs to be stamped out — now — t0 restore American honor and integrity, giving us confidence our elections are fair and honest.  Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

China Poised To Invade Taiwan

The [Deep State] is in a deep panic because of the Save Act. They know that they will never win another election after it is passed. They will try everything to shut it down. Maine Sen. Susan Collins has said she will vote for it, meaning there are now 50 senators t pass the bill, with J.D. Vance available to break any ties.

More people are resigning over the Epstein files.

Trump mentioned that China might invade Taiwan after the Olympics. Trump just made a trade deal with Taiwan.

The Democratic people say the far left are too radical. The people are rising up against the true enemy of the people. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Who Took The Drug Kickbacks?

From his prison cell, the former chief of national intelligence for Venezuela, Hugo Carvajal, says scores of American politicians as well as CIA officials took kickbacks from the deposed regime of Nicolas Maduro. There are conflicting reports on who took the campaign contributions and bribes.

One report says the matter remains up in the air, while the second report lists specific officials said to have received kickbacks. The kickbacks represent payments for opposing the Trump administration and, specifically, his attempts to thwart the narco-terrorism drug trade.

Again, it’s not clear yet if the charges are accurate, but there are allegations that the kickbacks supposedly went to tons of Democratic officials. A smaller cadre of Republicans received payments, mostly those who frequently oppose President Donald Trump — like U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Here’s more from Steve Turley.

Having removed the head of the snake, the body of the cobra remains, still flailing in Venezuela. But the regime of the dictator Nicholas Maduro will crumble and fall, as its muscle gets stretched thinner and thinner, and its belligerent strongmen are shattered.

Here, journalist Oscar Ramirez, reports after several days spent on the ground in Venezuela. The Maduro regime, led by vice president Delcy Rodriguez, is still calling the shots, but already has been overshadowed and restrained by the Americans. The regime, for instance, continues to silence outward protests against Maduro or his narco-terrorists.

Still, there are visible cracks forming. Iranians who had flocked to Venezuela in large numbers are already retreating — heading toward coastal locations so they can flee. Chinese merchants and Cubans also appear to be preparing to go.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has echoed Maduro, calling American President Donald Trump a coward. Obviously, Petro is not so bright. He’s setting himself up as the next narco-terrorist to be captured and imprisoned. International law does not protect drug dealers. They can act tough, and issue threats, and browbeat everyday citizens. But none of them can outlast or outsmart the U.S. military. Here’s more from David “Nino” Rodriguez.

Rand Paul: Go Suck An Apricot!

The corrupt Mitch McConnell has befuddled us many times. But we have always counted on Rand Paul, even when we didn’t see eye to eye with him on a particular issue. But now, Paul has betrayed that trust.

In a Senate vote this week, he aligned with the Democrats — along with the usual GOP turncoats Susan Collins (Maine ) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) — to try to strike down President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Fortunately the vote ended as a 49 to 49 tie, allowing Vice President J.D. Vance to break the tie by upholding the tariffs.

Still, what an arrogant display by Rand Paul. He might think he’s smarter than the President, but he’s looking like a complete putz and a clown. Is he as corrupt as McConnell? Time will tell. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.

Kash’s Is In, Epstein Coming!

Now that Kash Patel has been confirmed as the head of the FBI, is the release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list imminent?

Without citing sources, Glenn Beck tells Valuetainment that Patel will release the Epstein client list on his first day at the FBI.

Patel won confirmation in the U.S. Senate by a narrow 51-49 margin. Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell voted for him, but Maine’s Susan Collins did not. Here’s more from The Daily Caller.

We need Kash Now!

Hegseth Ekes Into Office

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the deciding vote to confirm Pete Hegseth’s appointment as the next Secretary of Defense. The vote came late Friday night after Hegseth had split the Senate 50 to 50, with the tie vote leaving it up to the vice president to put Hegseth over the top.

Three holdout Republicans joined the leftists to vote against Hegseth – Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Maine’s Susan Collins and Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell. It was only the second time in history that an American Vice President broke a tie vote to install a cabinet secretary. The other instance also involved a Trump nominee — his choice for Secretary of Education in 2016.

Trump himself was in North Carolina on Friday, joined by Melania Trump to tour the Hurricane Helene-ravaged region surrounding Asheville. Afterwards, he ventured west to California to visit areas charred by the wildfires that have scorched more than 55,000 acres to date.

Meanwhile, a federal judge in Washington, DC has imposed new restrictions on a handful of the Oath Keepers whose sentences were commuted earlier this week by Trump. U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled Friday that Stewart Rhodes and his colleagues cannot return to Washington DC, nor enter the U.S. Capitol Building, without advance permission from the court.

“The notion that Stewart Rhodes could be absolved is frightening and ought to be frightening to anyone who cares about democracy in this country,” the judge said. Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin called upon Mehta to rescind the order. Here’s more from Robert Gouveia on Watching The Watchers.

Patel Getting RINO Support

It’s looking highly likely that Kash Patel’s appointment to head the FBI will be confirmed by the Senate. RINOs, including Maine’s Sen. Susan Collins, have stepped forward to back Patel.

So even if the pedophiles and child traffickers are squawking bloody murder over his appointment, they will have to grin and bear it. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
