Apparently, unprosecuted insurrection is grounds for removal from a primary ballot. Colorado’s Supreme Court made that decision yesterday when they prohibited Donald Trump from being on the ballot in a move that many are calling unambiguous judicial election interference.
For now, it stands. The Supreme Court will likely overturn the ludicrous decision, but if we’ve learned anything in the last few years it’s that nothing should be taken for granted. If the left is willing to play dirty, the right must do the same.
Former Trump aide Stephen Miller has an idea that would flip the “insurrection” move being used against Trump. As he noted on Twitter:
Conservative officials must respond to the assault on Democracy in Colorado by removing Biden from the ballot for leading and engineering the insurrection on the border — a crime against the Constitution of such magnitude it defies comparison.

There are three reasons why this off-the-cuff concept actually has legs. First and foremost, it’s true that the border crisis created by the Biden-Harris regime is an engineered insurrection. Second, taking Miller’s advice would help to shine a light on the lunacy of lawfare being used in this presidential election cycle. Third, we need to demonstrate to the left that we’re willing to go as far if not farther than they go in their attempts to exert their electoral will.
Then, there’s the benefit that’s not election-related. Even though a majority of Americans are recognizing the disaster of our open borders, it needs to be reiterated and hammered home. Drawing more attention to the border insurrection should be an ongoing move by conservatives in both an effort to stop it as well as a highlight of the inefficacy of Democrat policies.
I wholeheartedly support Miller’s suggestion.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
