(America First Report)—It isn’t difficult to get on a primary ballot in most states. One simply needs to meet the legal requirements for the job such as being at least 35-years-old, fill out the paperwork, and get a minimum number of signatures.
State requirements vary, but they’re usually only high enough to prevent unserious candidates from throwing their names on the ballot for the sake of novelty. This is why former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie should be ashamed for failing to get the 2,000 signatures required to be on the Maine primary ballot. And he didn’t miss it by a few names. He only collected 844 in-state signatures.
Adding insult to injury, Doug Burgum and Ryan L. Binkley both collected the required signatures and will appear on the Maine ballot.
Who is Ryan L. Binkley?
He's a presidential candidate who got enough signatures to appear on the Maine GOP Primary Ballot.
Why is he relevant?
He's not, but at least he was able to get enough signatures, which Chris Christie was unable to do.

The campaign is blaming “procedural issues” while claiming they actually got over 6,000 signatures. But here’s the thing. If someone is so incompetent that they could make such a basic error, how can they expect to be taken seriously while running for President of the United States?
The answer to that question is obvious. Nobody takes Chris Christie seriously. I doubt Chris Christie takes Chris Christie seriously. He was ordered by someone, likely members of the UniParty Swamp or their globalist puppet masters, to enter the race with a single purpose: To lob zingers at Donald Trump during debates. To be fair, lobbing insults during debates is one of the very few things Christie actually does pretty well.
Fortunately for America, Trump rightly decided not to degrade himself by attending any of the pointless debates. This decision rendered Christie’s candidacy even more irrelevant that it was before. It’s time for him to find a donut shop, call a press conference, and drop out of the race. Afterwards, he can have his donuts and leave us in peace.
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,
