FIVE POWERFUL REASONS TO VOTE FOR TRUMP IN 2024

In the wake of the 2020 presidential election, Americans have been hung out to dry by the Biden administration. Between the rising prices of goods to the potential ramifications of all-out nuclear war in Eastern Europe, it’s only taken two short years for Joe Biden and the radical tyrants in his circle to dismantle the positive strides toward American sovereignty made during the Trump administration.

As 2024 approaches, the golden days of Trump’s America First agenda are beginning to look better and better – even to the critics. As Joe Biden fumbles his way through a classified document scandal and continues to greenlight billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine, Americans are frustrated with the direction of the country and they are afraid of being dragged into a bloody foreign war.

The common-sense policies of President Trump are a stark contrast to the entrenched system of federal corruption and weaponized justice present in Washington D.C. today.

Thankfully, Americans will have the opportunity to put their own needs front and center again in 2024, when President Donald Trump will once again make a bid to recapture the White House.

While it’s unknown who will be running as the Democrat nominee, one thing is crystal clear: President Trump is the only man in America with the track record and the strength to pull America up by its bootstraps and wage war against the Deep State.

Here are the five most important reasons why everyone should plan on casting their sacred vote for President Trump in 2024.

1. He will keep the peace

When Trump was in office, there were no new foreign wars. As a master negotiator, Trump kept tyrannical superpowers in check and beefed up the United States military. Today, Americans can see the chaos and unrest that has been unleashed by the Biden administration. From the humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 to the grovelingly endless flow of cash being forked over to Ukraine, Biden oozes nothing but weakness – and America’s enemies are capitalizing on it.

“Joe Biden’s weakness and incompetence has brought us to the brink of nuclear war and now, Biden is doing what he said ten months ago would lead to World War III: he is sending in American tanks,” Trump said in a new policy video. “…It’s far past the time for all the parties involved to pursue a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine before this already horrific catastrophe spirals out of control and ends up leading, indeed, to World War III.”

Trump recently stated that he could negotiate an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine within 24 hours. “FIRST COME THE TANKS, THEN COME THE NUKES,” he stated recently on Truth Social. “Get this crazy war ended, NOW. So easy to do!”

Trump was a president of peace when he was in the White House, stymieing Russia’s violence, halting North Korea’s nuclear posturing, and even brokering the historic Abraham Accords in the Middle East.

With Trump in office, Russia would never have dared to invade Ukraine, and most Americans know it. With him as president again, the U.S., and the world, would be a much safer place.

2. He will protect our children

The far-left has picked a major fight with parents, and President Trump has made it clear that he will always protect America’s most vulnerable population. “The left-wing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse,” he said earlier this week.

The Biden White House has unashamedly supported gender reassignment surgeries, as well as hormone treatment and puberty blockers for transgender youths, per Fox News.

Treatment for gender-related operations in minors varies, ranging from “top” surgery (where a girl’s breasts are removed, or a boy’s chest is made to look more “feminine”) or the distribution of powerful puberty blockers. Such treatment is often deceptively labeled as “gender-affirming care.”

Via RSBN, Trump clearly pushed back against this insanity by promising to act against what he called “sexual mutilation.”

“I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age,” he said. “I will then ask Congress to permanently stop taxpayer dollars from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting sexual mutilation in all 50 states.”

Trump will curb the abusive federal push for medical experimentation on children under the guise of “gender-affirming care.”

3. He will secure the Southern Border

The border has been left wide open to the world since Trump departed from the White House. Joe Biden took a sledgehammer to the Trump administration’s strong policies on immigration, attacking the “Remain in Mexico” policy and ending the construction of the border wall.

In a recent interview with RSBN, Trump pointed out that when he was in office, “we had the safest border in the history of our country.” Hundreds of miles of the wall were built, he added, and he even managed to successfully leverage America’s economic power to strongarm Mexico into giving us 28,000 soldiers at the border at no cost to the American taxpayer.

Trump also said that he believed there could be as many as 15 million people who have entered the U.S. illegally since Biden took office. “It’s killing our country,” he said.

We need a president who will put the needs of America first by securing the southern border and giving the United States her sovereignty back again.

>>18286118

4. He will restore the devastated economy

As a successful businessman, President Trump is in a unique position to, once again, revitalize the strained American economic landscape. Joe Biden’s administration has overseen supply chain problems, baby formula shortages, and even astronomically high prices of chicken eggs.

According to Rasmussen, a majority of Americans today expect that there will be another Great Depression. Per their survey findings, 55 percent of American adults believe that it is likely that a depression will hit the U.S. and that it will be reminiscent of the economic devastation of the 1930s.

At a recent campaign event at the South Carolina State House, Trump promised, “We’re going to beat inflation rapidly.”

Majority Expect Another Great Depression Soon

President Joe Biden may be optimistic about the U.S. economy, but most Americans fear the country is headed toward hard times.

— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) February 2, 2023

He added, “We will stop the government spending insanity….we’ll rebuild the greatest economy in the history of the world…I did it before, and I’ll do it again, and it won’t even be difficult. And we will be respected.”

Trump will prioritize American energy independence, which will also help combat the financial pressures of everyday citizens. “If Biden wanted to, he could lower gas prices tomorrow,” Trump said at a Save America rally in North Carolina in 2022. “All he has to do is come out and publicly admit that his anti-American energy policies were 100 percent wrong and the pro-American policies of a certain president that you liked a lot, President Donald J. Trump, were 100 percent right.”

If you’re tired of combing through sparse grocery store shelves and feeling the pain at the pump, President Trump will kickstart the economy again and deliver quick relief to hurting American families.

5. He will crack down on Big Tech tyranny

There is no doubt that Big Tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook have enjoyed a monopoly on information for the last few years, but the time has come for their tyranny to end. In the wake of the seriously vindicating “Twitter Files” over the past two months that have presented solid evidence of collusion between federal agencies and social media bullhorns, President Trump has promised to take action against their abuses of power.

“The now-famous ‘Twitter Files’ have proven beyond all doubt that the corrupt officials at the FBI have been coordinating a massive censorship, surveillance, and propaganda campaign against the American People, and frankly, against me,” he stated in a policy video in January.

The “censorship regime,” as Trump has called it, must be dismantled so that free speech and open civic dialogue can flow once again. To prosecute Big Tech’s crimes and to restore free speech, “we need a free press, we need free speech, we need fair elections, and we need borders,” he concluded.

Nobody has felt the sting of censorship quite as keenly as Trump, the first sitting president of the United States to be suspended from a social media platform in 2021. He will fight for the First Amendment rights of all Americans.

The Born Loser: Nikki Haley is going to lose. She knows she’s going to lose. That doesn’t mean it won’t be fun to watch.

The first sure loser has entered the race for 2024.

Though an official announcement is not expected until February 15, we can say with all but certainty now that Nimrata Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and ambassador to the United Nations, will make a bid to succeed Joe Biden’s ghost in the coveted Oval Office. This makes Haley, a one-time rising star and Trump admin alumna, the first Republican to mount a race for the White House against 45, who declared back in November.

Dead on arrival doesn’t begin to describe it.

Polls are famously useless, but even the margin of error that has kept an entire industry of Democrat hacks employed since their total miss on Trump could not resurrect Nikki Haley’s electoral prospects.

In a Morning Consult poll released last month, Haley logged just 2 percent support from Republican primary voters. Two. Even Liz Cheney performed better (though only by a point).

The Palmetto State politico would have to multiply her base by a factor of 24 to even get within striking distance of the former president’s 48. Of the six possible challengers included in the ranking, only Ron DeSantis even seems to stand a chance—though he is still well behind The Donald at 31 percent.

A Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released around the same time shows similar results: Trump at 48, DeSantis at 28, Mike Pence at 7, and Nikki Haley tied at 3 with Marco Rubio (who has not expressed the slightest interest in running this time around).

She is going to lose. She knows she’s going to lose. That doesn’t mean it won’t be fun to watch.

Because the man himself is in the race, and because Haley has a unique background to reckon with, the 2024 primary will be a far better indication than the midterm congressional fights of how the old guard will conduct itself in a party remade by Trump.

Haley herself has waffled on the all-important Orange Man question. She was just shy of a NeverTrumper in the 2016 primary, intimating over and over that the GOP frontrunner might have a bit of a race problem. (Haley herself, meanwhile, was famously enlightened—the Republican leader who banished the Rebel flag from the South Carolina Capitol.)

Once Trump became the party’s nominee, Haley begrudgingly got on board. When she was offered a plum post as ambassador to the U.N., she got a little more enthusiastic. With little explanation and even less public fanfare, she resigned after less than two years—called by the New York Times, for some reason, “that rarest of Trump appointees: one who can exit the administration with her dignity largely intact.”

How that could be true is hard to tell. Haley’s habit of waffling has hardly abated since leaving her ambassadorship almost half a decade ago. One day Trump would be a “friend”; the next, she’d clarify that “friend is a loose term.” One day the Capitol riot would be a minor error in judgment; the next it would be an inexcusable tragedy. One day Trump’s second impeachment would be a baseless Democrat witch hunt, and the next we'd learn she believed its central claims when it was still just a glint in Adam Schiff's buggy eye. Perhaps most plainly: One day she’d say she wouldn’t run in ’24 if Trump did, and the next that she’d mount a campaign for the White House.

>>18286169

Plenty of people in the GOP have been at turns rabidly pro- and anti-Trump as political winds shift. Nikki Haley is just the only one looking to challenge him for the presidency.

She is likely to try to pull off some kind of balancing act: boosting her 45 credentials while hammering home her dead consensus platform. The only thing worth betting on is which side of the tightrope she’ll fall off of.

Haley’s Trump-admin credentials are weaker than most. A Ukraine irredentist and Israel supremacist, she was always an odd choice as U.N. ambassador for an America First president. At the U.N., she was a much rarer advocate for American interests than for those of other nations and the global advance of liberalism. Whenever given the chance, she affirmed the United States’ commitment to rights-based ideology on the world stage, as when she insisted that the American regime did not consider “conduct such as homosexuality, blasphemy, adultery, and apostasy … appropriate for criminalization.”

This is what Nikki Haley has always believed, from the first campaigns when she waxed poetic about immigrant dreams in the land of opportunity and who we are as a disembodied country and the perpetual forward motion of the great experiment. She is the kind of person who considers and treats America as an idea—the end of history’s march toward maximal freedom.

Which is to say she is a progressive liberal—in the literal senses of both words—who happens to have mostly decent thoughts on tax policy.

That makes her, more than anything, a product of her time, which is a bit of an excuse.

Nikki Haley came up in a GOP that regarded America this way, and so became entirely imperialist, capitalist, and libertarian. That this political revolution had nothing to do with the American tradition is secondary to the fact that it wreaked havoc on the people of America (not to mention Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Ukraine, or any of the other countries whose people became cannon fodder for the empire’s expansion).

It was also not a winning formula, which most people realize after 2016—even Nikki Haley said of the GOP’s future in 2021, “I don’t want us to go back to the days before Trump.”

She is hardly alone. In a week and a half, all those who feel similarly can thank her for sounding the death knell of the ancien regime.

After Losing Over $70 Billion, Facebook, Instagram Stocks SOAR After Trump Reinstatement Announced

Note: This article may contain commentary reflecting the author's opinion.

Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta’s shares skyrocketed a whopping 23% on Thursday alone, one of their greatest stock days in a decade. This comes after the company announced their decision to reinstate 45th President Donald Trump “in the coming weeks” after being banned from their platforms for two years.

On January 25, Meta President of Global Affairs, Nick Clegg, announced Trump’s reinstatement. Immediately after the news broke of Trump’s return, their shares began rapidly growing.

This comes after a financially rough two-years for Facebook after they suspended Trump from their platforms on January 7, 2021 over the protest at the capital.

Trump reacted to Meta’s skyrocketing shares, taking to his very successful social media platform, Truth Social, writing on Friday morning, “Have you seen that Big Tech is up MASSIVELY since they put me back on the platforms.”

“META UP 57%. Truth Social is hot as a pistol —People are pouring into its beautiful web at levels far greater than ever expected. It’s my VOICE,” Trump added.

There is definitely a Trump phenomenon around social media platforms. It appears as soon as social media platforms ban Trump, their ratings collapse and as soon as he returns, their rating boom.

Far-left social media platform Snapchat permanently banned Trump after the capitol protest and their financial status has been suffering ever since.

CNBC reported on Tuesday that Snap, the parent company of Snapchat, reported its fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday and once again fell short of analyst expectations.

“It’s the third disappointing earnings report in a row for Snap investors. The day after the company’s Q3 earnings report in October, shares fell 28% on disappointing revenue. The stock lost 39% following its Q2 report in July after it missed on both top and bottom lines,” CNBC reported.

Truth Social’s massive success has been receiving praise from even the far-left New York Times. The New York Times, dubbed the “failing New York Times” by Trump, admitted in an article in November titled “Truth Social’s Influence Grows Despite Its Business Problems” that Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, has become “vibrant” and has “managed to out-place its rivals.”

>>18286195

What’s even more impressive is that thanks to Truth Social’s massive success, Forbes added Trump back onto their “Forbes 400” list of the 400 richest people in the United States.

According to Forbes, Trump Media and Technology Group is now Trump’s “single most valuable asset.”

Trump owns 80 percent of the company, which is 73 million shares at (then-price) $25 a share, worth over $1.8 billion-dollars.

“But make no mistake, Trump is extremely rich. In fact, the former president climbs back onto The Forbes 400 this year after dropping off 12 months ago, with his estimated net worth jumping from $2.5 billion to $3.2 billion, enough to qualify for No. 343 on the ranking of America’s richest people.” Forbes reported.

Panel that awarded Pulitzers for Russiagate stories mum after scathing exposé on reporting failures

The "Russiagate" narrative, which permeated mainstream news coverage during the Trump years, was dismantled in an exhaustive four-part series in the Columbia Journalism Review by investigative reporter Jeff Gerth.

The panel that awarded Pulitzer Prizes to the New York Times and Washington Post for reporting related to the discredited Trump-Russia collusion narrative has gone mum as it faces new scrutiny following publication of a four-part series in the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) documenting the establishment media pillars' lapses from their claimed journalistic standards.

The 19-member Pulitzer Prize board for 2017-2018 was comprised of various journalists, professors and writers, including several current or former staff members of the New York Times or Washington Post.

Just The News reached out to 13 members of the panel to find out if the CJR exposé had prompted second thoughts about the Russiagate prizes. Neil Brown, president of the Poynter Institute had an auto reply set, saying he was out of the office, while Steve Coll, former dean of Columbia Journalism School, had an auto-reply saying he is on sabbatical. None of the other board members replied.

In response to a request for comment on the CJR series, Pulitzer Prize Administrator Majorie Miller wrote, "Due to pending litigation regarding these matters, I am not able to comment on the story."

After the Pulitzer board initially stood by its Russigate awards, former President Donald Trump — the central target of the narrative, which grew out of opposition research commissioned by his 2016 opponent Hillary Clinton — filed a defamation lawsuit against them in December, following a request to reconsider the prizes.

The board had reportedly agreed to conduct a review, but concluded, "No passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes."

The amount Trump is seeking in damages was not specified.

"On the facts known to Defendants at the time these reviews were allegedly conducted, it would have been impossible that a single objective, thorough and independent review would have reached such a conclusion, much less two," the lawsuit read. "Defendants knew this and published the Pulitzer Statement anyway."

Just the News did not seek comment from award staff or board members on whether the prize-winning reporting was defamatory, but only on whether it was, in retrospect, deserving of the prizes, which are highly coveted by establishment media organizations.

Just the News reached out to the New York Times and Washington Post for general comment on the CJR story and the status of their Pulitzer Prizes. The Post responded with the following statement:

"We are proud of our coverage of the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 campaign, including our stories that were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for furthering the nation's understanding of this consequential period," Vice President of Communications Shani George declared. "We approached this line of coverage with care and a great sense of responsibility. On the few occasions in which new information emerged that caused us to reexamine past reporting, we did so forthrightly."

Tom Brady Signs With Sunnyshade Retirement Home Shuffleboard Team

MIAMI, FL — Tom Brady announced today he has officially signed a three year contract with the Sunnyshade Retirement Home Shuffleboard Team.

"My competitive fire is still burning strong," said Brady, donning his team polo. "I look forward to joining my teammates, and working hard to bring a championship trophy to the retirement home where it belongs."

Competing in the South Florida Sunshine League, the once-dominant Sunnyshade shuffleboard team has seen its share of struggles the past few years. "Sunnyshade has an incredible history," said Mr. Brady at a press conference. "I know the results these past couple of years have not been what the retirement home residents have come to expect. I believe with our shared commitment to excellence, we can turn that around, and restore the shuffleboard program to its former glory."

Mr. Brady has brought his remarkable work ethic and patented TB12 pliability program to Sunnyshade, and the results have been immediate. "Ethel hasn't been able to stand up straight in years!" said team captain Marvin Wiggins. "This young 'Tom' fella is really working wonders, I tell ya. He's got a little work to do on his aim, but I think he's going to work out great."

At publishing time, Sunnyshade had come under investigation over reports of disc weights being altered between matches.

U.S. Shoots Down Spy Balloon As It Was Getting Too Close To Ukraine

U.S. — The Pentagon officially went ahead with their plan to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon as it was getting too close to Ukraine's borders, sources confirmed Saturday.

"We sent a strong message to China," said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. "So long as the spy balloon stayed over America, we had peace. But the moment that spy balloon got a little too close to Ukraine - boom! We had to take it out."

General Austin proudly reported that the most high-tech missile defense systems in the world had been waiting to blow up the balloon for days. "Trust me, the Chinese are going to regret floating that balloon within thousands of miles of the Ukraine border. They should have kept that balloon where it was safe, floating over the U.S. and spying on American citizens."

Despite the Pentagon's assurances, many Americans have questioned why the military didn't shoot the balloon down over the U.S. "Were we, like, out of bullets?" asked local Carolina man Nate Maldonado, watching the balloon float overhead. According to sources, yes, we are out of bullets - because we sent them all to Ukraine.

Biden Says He’ll Shoot Down Chinese Spy Balloon As Soon As He’s Done Letting It Spy

U.S. — Americans are up in arms after a Chinese high-altitude spy balloon was seen hovering over sensitive nuclear sites in Montana. Biden was quick to quell fears, vowing to shoot down the hostile balloon as soon as he's done letting it spy.

"Listen folks, that balloon came a long way to do a little spyin'," said Biden in a meeting with military leaders. "Would be a shame to shoot the poor thing down before it even gets a chance to take some pictures! I remember when me and the boys used to spy on Suzie Anne McGillicutty through her bedroom window after a long day of protesting the civil rights movement. It's all in good fun, folks!"

According to anonymous sources, several Pentagon officials asked how soon they would be able to knock the balloon out of the sky, insisting it was a matter of national security.

"Come on, man! I'll let you shoot it down. Just let me check to make sure the Chinese have what they need and that the million-dollar check for Hunter's painting came through from my buddy Xi. Then, have at it, boys!"

At publishing time, Eric Swalwell had been seen approaching the spy balloon and asking for its number.

Chinese Launch Spy Balloon Aimed At Unraveling The Secrets Of Classified Fork Technology

https://babylonbee.com/news/chinese-launch-spy-balloon-aimed-at-unraveling-the-secrets-of-classified-fork-technology

In 1863, SCOTUS made a ruling on ArtII.S2.C1.1.2 Prize Cases and Commander in Chief Clause: "If a war be made by invasion of a foreign nation, the President is not only authorized but bound to resist force by force. He does not initiate the war, but is bound to accept the challenge without waiting for any special legislative authority. And whether the hostile party be a foreign invader, or States organized in rebellion, it is none the less a war, although the declaration of it be 'unilateral.'
