(Based Underground)—Democrats know they’re in trouble. The nation is crumbling under policies coming from the White House and blue states are getting worse everyday. But instead of acknowledging the errors in their worldview, they’re resorting to harassment and intimidation tactics to try to retain power.
It’s not just politicians. Citizen “activists” are engaging in hideous behavior to try to prevent Republican efforts. In Washington state, one desperate Democrats went full “Karen-mode” in a Costco to disrupt a voter registration drive.
As patriotic journalist Brandi Kruse noted, these actions are illegal:
HAPPENING NOW: This woman just crossed out a page of voter signatures at the Issaquah Costco, which is a gross misdemeanor. This comes amid Democrat-backed effort to harass and intimidate Let’s Go WA signature gatherers (black marks mine to protect voter info).
The signature gatherer tells me he chased the woman as she ran inside and hid behind a Costco employee. He admits that he shouted at her. Costco called Issaquah police … on the signature gatherers.

The signature gatherers decided to pack up and leave. @IssaquahPolice spoke to them briefly (could not hear conversation). Not clear whether Costco will help police identify the woman who crossed out signatures.
In a twist of fate, yours truly happened to be shopping at Costco while this went down. An employee came up to me and asked me to stop journalism-ing on their property – but not before saying incidents like this are why they don’t like having signature collectors there. HOWEVER:

The law on this is tricky. While Costco is private property, it has allowed similar activity in the past. In fact, in 2010 Costco used its stores as signature gathering hubs to get the liquor initiative passed. https://www.king5.com/article/news/politics/costco-collecting-signatures-for-wash-liquor-initiative/281-332684435
So while Costco was certainly justified in calling @IssaquahPolice to help them sort out this ordeal, surely they also care about helping identify the woman who was attempting to disenfranchise Washington voters? End

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Democrats are so concerned that their policies are being exposed that they’re willing to do anything to prevent the losses coming in 2024. They’d rather see the nation burn under their watch than succeed under Republican control.
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,
JD Rucker
