WISCONSIN: Voters approve State Constitutional Amendment BANNING private money in elections
Wisconsin voters have approved a constitutional amendment banning private money for elections. The constitutional amendment passed on Tuesday after it was proposed by Republicans who were fed up with the money funneled into elections by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, dubbed Zuckerbucks.
“Wisconsin has spoken and the message is clear: elections belong to voters, not out-of-state billionaires,” GOP Chairman Brian Schimming said. Joe Biden won Wisconsin in 2020 after $8.8 million went into the state’s largest five cities.

EXCLUSIVE: I was threatened by the January 6 committee into staying silent, Trump’s acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims
Donald Trump‘s former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims the January 6 committee threatened to ‘make his life hell’ if he kept claiming his former boss authorized National Guard deployment during the Capitol riot.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center said he became ‘fearful’ of aggressive tactics by members of the Democrat-led panel who tried to stop him speaking publicly about a narrative that didn’t align with their final report.
Miller’s bombshell claims follow a report by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk that reveals the committee withheld a transcript from an interview with a top White House official where he told Vice Chair Liz Cheney and other staffers that Trump did want to deploy troops.
Cheney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she or any other members of the Select Committee corresponded with witnesses in a way that could be interpreted as threatening.
Trump appointed Miller as the Pentagon chief in November 2020 after he fired Mark Esper amid attempts to overturn Joe Biden‘s presidential election victory.
He was only in the job for two months, but was thrust in front of the committee during their probe into the events that unfolded on the day the electoral college votes were certified.
Miller claims the members intimidated him, and warned they would repeatedly bring him in for ‘hours’ of additional testimony if he kept going on TV and defending the former president’s actions.
Miller said it was clear to him that former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) was the one running the show with the January 6 investigation. He claims the committee’s vice chair was specifically upset that the ‘optics’ of his public appearances would go against the narrative that Trump was complicit in insurgency.

Swedish politician regrets ‘refugees welcome’ policy: ‘We were fundamentally wrong on the immigration issue’
Louise Meijer, an MP for Sweden’s centrist Moderate party, apologised to voters for her previous position on open borders. She regrets “making mistakes” by “pleading for openness and refugees [being] welcome”, she says.
Meijer says she “changed her mind” over her views, in an opinion piece for Expressen this week.
“Now, instead, I am advocating an even stricter migration policy than the one I opposed at the time,” she says.
Political sentiments around migration have shifted swiftly in Sweden, with now even leaders of the Social Democrats saying they favour more strict migration policies.
Sweden today is a “completely different country than it was at the end of the 20th century”. Per capita, it has “received the most immigrants in the Western world” in modern times, Meijer writes.
Today, “more than a third of Sweden’s population has a foreign background. In 1987, the corresponding figure was 11 per cent.”

She should be forgiven her mistake because she has admitted it and wants to make amends. We need much more of this in Western politics, particularly in USA. ABN
Why Trump might win: A Total Reevaluation of the 2024 Election — Andrew Anglin
…In a modern liberal democracy, you don’t need public support for any policy. A democracy government is always just a puppet of private interest groups, and the population has no ability to influence state decisions. The only threat is domestic upheaval, which is generally extremely unlikely in a democracy, given that people will usually simply say “well, I’ll vote for the other guy next time” instead of going into the streets and creating chaos. However, if Biden is reinstalled as president in November, and the wars continue, the economy turns down, and the crime and immigrant situation keeps getting more extreme, you could end up in a situation where no matter how hard the media lies, his real level of support is below 15%. At that point, you are moving into a very precarious situation, where you could start seeing real political violence that threatens the country’s basic stability. There is a switch that can be flipped in the collective psyche of a human population where they, almost simultaneously, become violently enraged, and start acting on that. Right now, Biden’s Israel policy and his immigration invasion both threaten to trigger this collective psychological mechanism.
There is still a chance that Biden is switched out for some other Democrat candidate, which would most likely be Gavin Newsom (although others have claimed Michelle Obama is the more likely option). If this happens, then there is a possibility or probability that the Democrats will continue in power. However, if this doesn’t happen, I’m going to go on a crypto betting website and put a lot of money on Donald Trump winning the 2024 election.

Stupid of Trump to play this shit-stained card
He should have distanced himself from the vaxxes two years ago. Maybe there is a political calculus where this is a good move but I don’t see it. That said, and bad as this position is, it is in no way a deal-breaker. The vax is a nasty issue but wars, borders, trade, economy, fuel, laws, USA Constitution & sociology are much bigger issues. AND, there is no other candidate who has anywhere near Trump’s potential to actually help USA. ABN

President Trump speaks
A comment on President Trump, found on The Last Refuge:
We don’t deserve him…The fact that the man is still standing tall after 8 years of relentless assault, harassment & persecution is quite remarkable.
I can’t think of another human being, past or present, that would have stayed in the fight, let alone been as successful.
I fell sorry for all of the otherwise decent people who were indoctrinated to hate the man and go thru life mentally crippled by T.D.S.
