Charlie Kirk, Martin Luther King Jr., and Sam Francis

 

In a previous article, I reflected on the first anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. With the passage of time, it’s appropriate to reflect on why his legacy was so powerful and controversial, even among conservatives.

Charlie Kirk was not just an incredible organizer, activist, minister, and speaker. 

We need to recognize that he made some bold advancements in conservative political philosophy. 

There have been many articles written about Charlie Kirk's incredible personality, charisma, energy, and political drive. Not as much attention has been paid to the work and the writing that he did.

In his final book, Right Wing Revolution, he released numerous seeds of truth, conservative insight, and common-sense campaign and culture war advice that a proper review and discussion merit their own column. 

I want to start with one of his most controversial assertions: his opposition to the Civil Rights Act. In fact, he spoke against all the Civil Rights Acts that were passed in the 1960s. Starting with the warnings of Barry Goldwater, the Republican US senator who suffered a landslide loss to Lyndon Baines Johnson in the 1954, 1964 presidential election, Kirk outlined how the fundamental statutes of the Civil Rights Act had set the stage for DEI, critical race theory, affirmative action, systemic racism, and all the other culture war problems that the United States is facing. 

This is a necessary but difficult topic to tackle. US Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky stated plainly that the Civil Rights Act should be repealed, and straightaway he had to walk back those remarks for fear of risking the US Senate seat that year, 2010. Washington Post columnist George Will mocked Rand Paul, reminding him that he was running a campaign for the US Senate, not hosting a seminar on libertarianism. 

15 years later, the United States has witnessed the harrowing consequences of affirmative action, critical race theory, diversity, equity and inclusion policies and programs, and ultimately the woke agenda, which has metastasized from the whole civil rights morass, crowding out natural rights, freedom of speech, and economic liberty. The Right and the rest of the country are recognizing that the Civil Rights Act of the 1960s has been distorted. Now, under the guise of civil rights, schools and other facilities are forced to allow men into women's sports and spaces. The Supreme Court has even perversely ruled (Clayton v. Bostock) that Title 9 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when it speaks to no discrimination based on sex, must also include sexual orientation and gender identity. Such broad constructions have undermined our constitutional liberties and our natural rights. They have also created unprecedented litigation and government bureaucracy. 

Following in line with the assertion challenging the Civil Rights Act and Movement, the real greater activist leader who deserves our respect is Charlie Kirk. He should replace Martin Luther King Jr. The martyred Civil Rights Icon led a disordered private life, which has become very public. Martin Luther King Jr was not a Christian in any real sense. He did not believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He subscribed to communist theories, and he also believed in the redistribution of wealth. The ample evidence and documentation prove that Dr. King plagiarized his dissertation. He did not even write the book Letters from a Birmingham Jail, nor did he write his “I Have a Dream” speech.

When the United States Congress put forward legislation to turn Martin Luther King Jr.'s Jr birthday into a holiday, President Ronald Reagan was initially hesitant. There was a great deal of FBI evidence classified about MLK. President Trump just released everything, exposing Martin Luther King Jr not only as a moral failure, but also exploding the mythology around him. King did not believe that all men are created equal. He favored reparations, racial quotas, and affirmative action. 

King’s commitments to government-driven social justice of these pronouncements run contrary to the American constitutional order. The United States has been fed a lie, and it’s time to destroy the MLK idol

Kirk was not afraid to crush the MLK/Civil Rights sacred cows. He even referenced the controversial conservative polemicist in Right Wing Revolution, Samuel Francis, who had issued broad criticisms of Martin Luther King Jr. and the conservative movement as a whole, which was tripping over itself to prove that they were “not racist.” He noticed how, instead of dismantling the New Deal welfare state and restoring America’s constitutional norms, i.e., conserving, political conservatives had settled for merely reforming, streamlining, and optimizing the bureaucratic overgrowth of the federal government. Furthermore, conservatives had gotten used to the left-wing power structures winning the culture, and conservatives took no steps to change them. Sam Francis called conservatives “beautiful losers,” content to lose gracefully rather than fight and win the culture war. 

Kirk quoted Sam Francis’ damning phrase “beautiful losers.” Charlie Kirk also established a robust, intellectually honest, consistent conservatism. But unlike Sam Francis, who tottered into the white version of Martin Luther King’s racialism, Kirk rejected all racialism, ethnocentrism, and white nationalism as conservative fundamentals.  He restored a recognition of the laws of nature and nature's God. He restored and rigorously upheld a return to biblical values in our country. He dared to articulate the truth that race is a social construct, not grounded in genetic code or biological trace.

For too long, conservatives have focused on ideological talking points, intellectual discussions, or collectivist meanderings. Charlie Kirk made conservatism active, and he made it radical and intriguing enough that younger generations wanted to get involved! 

In his last book, Kirk shook conservatives by the shoulders, telling all of us to pay attention to the increased victories that conservatives have achieved. He further urged us to look at the extensive victories that President Trump had accomplished, not just in revitalizing the Republican Party, not just in broadening their appeal to different ethnic groups once thought untouchable and holy belonging to the Democratic Party, but in how Trump showed that they could take over the Supreme Court and start reshaping the culture. 

Charlie Kirk embodied and emboldened a broad vision for American conservatism: That we could actually conserve our Republic, our natural rights, our constitutional order, and most importantly, our Judeo-Christian heritage. 

Letter to the Editor: "Donald Trump is by far the worst president in US history"

 

Some of these letters make me laugh out loud. They can talk about how bad Trump is all 

they want and I don't care. 

So much rambling implies emotion more than reason, i.e. wokeness on steroids.

I hope you get as much of a laugh out of this as I did.

Dear Mr. Schaper :    Pardon me for being  brutally frank ,  but  your  hymn of  praise to  Trump in Town Hall   today  is  mind-bogglingly  stupid !

Donald  Trump is by far the worst president  in  US history .  None of  our previous chief executives

 has ever come remotely  close to  doing  a job  as  atrocious as  the mango Mussolini  has been doing.    He is the  most corrupt, incompetent ,  clueless , inept ,  unfit, unqualified ,  unethical ,  unprincipled ,

self-serving ,  mendacious ,  abysmally stupid ,  ignorant , phony ,amoral ,  unprepared ,  dishonest ,  conniving,  manipulative  ,    malicious ,

unwise ,  greedy,  ruthless ,  hypocritical , unworthy , undignified ,  boorish ,  vulgar ,  crass ,  indiscrete ,  undisciplined ,  reckless ,  asinine ,

unintentionally  funny ,  embarrassing ,   cringe-inducing ,lazy , cynical ,  worthless ,  childish ,  petty,  vindictive ,  humorless ,  thin- skinned ,  whining ,

dangerous, evil ,  egotistical ,  narcissistic ,   megalomaniacal ,   deranged  lunatic with  delusions of  grandeur ( and  competence) ,   arrogant , lecherous ,  classless ,  brainless,   mindless ,  heartless ,  soulless ,  unhinged ,  despicable ,   pompous ass and  horse's  ass  ever to be elected president  of the  United States .

   Donald  Trump is a total scoundrel   without a  shred of courage ,  humility ,  self  control ,  discipline ,  sound  judgment ,   ability  to  take any  responsibility  for his  countless   crimes and  misdeeds not only as  president  ,  as a  businessman  and in  private life ,  a  dangerous  malignant  narcissistic  sociopath  and  a  pathological  liar .

     On  January 6,  2021 ,  he  committed the  worst act of  treason in  US history by  inciting  a   bloody insurrection in  Washington  with the  insane  goal of  having   himself   illegally and  unconstitutionally  reinstated as president  despite the  fact  that  he KNEW that  he  had  lost  the 2020  election  to Joe Biden  ,  who  was infinitely  better qualified to be  president  ,  did a vastly  better  job and  who is also an infinitely  better man  than  Trump  will ever be .

     Trump lied through his teeth,  claiming  with absolutely no evidence  that  the  Democrats  had allegedly  "stolen " the  election  from  him .

And  so  many  naive,  gullible and  clueless private citizens and  right-wing   extremist  bloggers and  commentators   believed  him and  still  do  .     Let's  face it :  Trump is nothing   but  a  glorified   con man  and   grifter  who  lied and  cheated his  way to being  elected  twice , aided and  abetted  by his  slimy  cronies in   the  private sector   and  assorted  GOP members of  congress .  His  first term weas awful enough but  his second   has been  far  worse .

      Trump  does not  believe in  Democracy ,  progress  ,  justice,  equality  and  rule of  law  and  has been using  the office of  the  presidency  not   to  serve the  American  people  but  to  enrich  himself   at   the expense of  those   he allegedly   serves .

      Trump is  a  power-hungry  would be  fascist  dictator  of  America   who has  abused  his  authority as  president  to  a  degree none of his  predecessors has ever come  even  remotely  close to  doing .    Even  worse , he is a  notorious  sexual  predator  who has actually  RAPED  numerous  women  and  actually  raped  girls as  young as 13 !   on  the  private island  owned  by  his late, unlamented  pal  Jeffrey  Epstein .

   We  now  have   pedophile  in  the  White House  !      Trump  was also  probably  the  most   corrupt,  reckless and wasteful  businessman  in  the  history  of  business  in   America ,

    He has never had a  single  successful  business  and  all of  his casinos  went  under  .     Approximately  1,500 lawsuits  have  been  filed against  him  and as a housing   developer in  New York  he  discriminated  against  blacks  who  sought to  buy homes  from  him  and  was sued  by  them .

     Trump  opened up  the  bogus  "Trump University " and  had to pay  millions  in  reparations .    I've  barely  scratched  the  surface  of  all the  terrible  things  has  done  over the  years .   Richard  Nixon  was a  president  who  became  a  criminal .   Donald  Trump is  a  criminal  who  became  a  president   .

     And   since  January  2025  Trump has   done a staggering  amount  of  damage to the  US economy  while  claiming  it  is now  better  than  ever   .  His idiotic  tariffs  have  not  only  caused  economic  catastrophes  in the  US  but  worldwide  .

He IS responsible  for  the   impossibly  high  prices of  gasoline and  groceries  etc .   

     Trump's illegal  ,  unconstitutional ,  disastrous and  idiotic  war  on  Iran  has caused  the  Strait of  Hormuz  to  be  closed  .    And  Iran  does  is nowhere near  having   nuclear  weapons  .    This is  barely  the tip of  the iceberg  when  it  comes to all  the  ways  the  criminal  Trump  regime  has  been  screwing  up  America  and  the  world   .

    The  Trump  cabinet ,  staff  and  advisors  are  a  collection of  some of  the  worst  people  in  America .  Trump  did  not  choose  them  based on their  qualifications ,   experience  and  abilities  but  because  he  knew  they  would  be  nothing   but  his  derriere-kissing  yes men and  women  .   

     Stephen  Miller ,   Tom Homan,   Kash Patel , Pete Hegseth  ,   Todd Blanche ,  RFK Jr and  the  others  ?     This is  the  worst presidential  team  ever .   

     And  there are absolutely  no  "communists "  in  the  Democratic  party or the  Democratic  Socialists  of  America .    Mayor  Mamdani .   Joe  Biden ,   Kamala Harris ,   Barack and    Michelle  Obama,  Bill and  Hillary  Clinton  ,   Chuck  Schumer ,  Alexandria Ocasio -Cortez  and Bernie  Sanders  ?     Not  communists at all  .     The  Democratic  party  doesn't  even have a  far  left  wing .

    But  the  Republicans ,  whom  I  call the  REPUGNICAN  party a.k.a .  the    GOP  ( gross old  perverts )  has gone  so  far to the  right  it   only  makes  the  Democrats  kook  far  left in  comparison  to  many  Americans .     The  GOP has hit rock  bottom  and  there is  not  a  single  person in it anymore with  any   brains, decency ,   integrity ,   common  sense  ,  competence  or   wisdom .

     And it's  absolutely  terrifying  to  realize  that  the  party  does  not  have  a  single  potential    presidential  candidate  who  would  be an  improvement  over  Trump .  There is  hardly a single  Republican  who  does not  belong  either in  prison ,  a  mental institution or  a home  for the  retarded ,'

     Trump is no more fit  to  be  president  than a   severely  retarded person is  qualified  to  teach  nuclear  physics at  Harvard  or  MIT .    Furthermore  ,  what  little mind  he  had to begin with  has been destroyed  by  dementia .     

     Instead  of  speaking  intelligently and  coherently  ,     Trump  babbles  idiotically  .    Why  are so  many  Americans   blind  to  this   obvious   fact ?   His   recent  speech at  the  UN  was  a   self-congratulatory  pack  of   lies    No one  among   the   audience  of   diplomats  could  take anything  he  said  seriously  .    

      Trump  should  never even have  been  allowed to  rub  for  president  in  2024 ,  or  2020 and  2016 .     He  belongs  in  a   mental institution,  not  the  White  House .  but  the  Republicans  in  congress have  been  protecting  him  for  ten  years  .

     I don't  know  about  you but  I  don't  hate  Trump .   I   FEAR him .    And  so  do  millions of  other  Americans  ,  including  so   many   Americans  who have always  voted   Republican  but  now  realize  how incredibly  foolish    they  were .

     Please excuse  this  very long  email,  but  I  had   to  say all these  things  .  PLEASE -  wake up !      Donald  Trump is an existential  threat  not only  to  the  US  but the entire  planet ,

Robert Berger ,  a  frightened     American  patriot  and  liberal .

Robert:

Thanks for consistently reading and responding to my work.

Much appreciated.

You need to work on the formatting in your email server. The emails come out in a chaotic mess, as you can see posted below.

I am not going to comb through the entire thing, since I can tell that most of it is emotionally-driven drivel.

You are entitled to your opinions, but I am sticking with the facts.

Sincerely

Arthur Schaper

Election 2028: Democrats' Best Chance Is Josh Shapiro

 

Election Day 2026, the Democrats will focus everything on Election 2028. They must win the presidency, or their relevance as a national party will collapse. Besides, the pundits will be jabbering about the line-up, and some candidates will announce their bid in January or February 2027. That’s the tradition, especially after Trump launched his ultimately successful re-election bid following the 2022 midterms.

Democrats are on the chopping block, and it’s now or never. Do they have a chance of capitalizing on voter anger with higher gas prices and stubborn inflation? Will Trump’s party falter in 2026, creating an opening for them to give the public another choice? Voters are still clamoring about affordability issues, and Trump Derangement Syndrome has barely abated, even among some Republicans.

I outlined a general field of candidates who could compete in 2028. I took another look at California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Now it’s time to sound the alarm about Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

He will likely win re-election by double digits, making him a quality candidate.

He has served in many levels of state government, including deputy speaker of the House, Attorney General, as well as governor.

Shapiro has reliably won statewide elections in a swing state, one which Democrats had kept in their presidential column for thirty years, until Trump flipped working-class Democratic voters to the GOP. Democrats need to accept the harsh reality of shifting Keystone State politics. Voter registration continues trending GOP, and more GOP candidates are winning statewide races. Aside from Governor and Lieutenant Governor, Republicans hold nearly every statewide office. They still control the state senate, and they are two seats away from retaking the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

If these facts don’t help, National Democrats cannot ignore Dave McCormick’s impressive defeat of the long-established Democratic Casey machine to become the next US Senator. Senior senator John Fetterman is moving closer to the GOP every day, too, having recently spoken at their mid-term convention in Dallas, and will either switch parties in 2028 or drop out.

Democrats need a Democrat who can compete and win in swing states like Pennsylvania. How could they not endorse Shapiro?

The AG-turned-government slaughtered the Republican nominee in 2022 by 14 points, and he’s on track to win by a wider margin this year. I made phone calls for his Republican opponent in 2022, and I was stunned by the number of Republican voters—yes, the same MAGA types who supported Trump in 2016 and 2020—who refused to vote for the GOP nominee.

At least 15% of Pennsylvania’s Republican/MAGA vote pulled the lever for Shapiro. Democrats need that kind of candidate to win nationally in 2028.

He has a long record of bipartisanship, having served under a moderate Republican statehouse speaker because a slim Democratic majority could not agree on a Democratic Speaker.

Governor Shapiro has maintained a broad bipartisan record as governor, as well. He kept the Republican Secretary of State. Of course, state law requires a two-thirds vote of support from the Republican-controlled State Senate, although the PA GOP does not have a supermajority in that chamber. He could have nominated a more liberal candidate, but he went along with the Republican incumbent to avoid the political drama.

Shapiro has demonstrated decent leadership as chief executive, while other potential Democratic contenders must contend with records of corruption, malfeasance, and failure (Newsom, Whitmer, Pritzker, etc.). The Pennsylvania governor has gained plaudits for fixing roads and bridges quickly, including a notorious breakdown of the I-95, which he restored to full operation in 12 days by coordinating efforts from local, state, and federal forces and resources. This kind of bread-and-butter competence can attract run-of-the-mill voters looking for normalcy but who don’t want to vote GOP.

Unlike his liberal peers, Shapiro has a committed record to public safety. As Attorney General, he focused on getting guns out of the hands of criminals, as opposed to criminalizing law-abiding gun owners. He openly sparred with Philadelphia’s George Soros-backed District Attorney Larry Krasner, who has spent most of his tenure treating criminals better than police officers and taxpayers.

Shapiro has also handled crises with leadership and professionalism. The 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh was the largest anti-Semitic terrorist attack in U.S. history. As Attorney General, he took charge quickly and efficiently, ensuring not only restored public safety, but also swift justice and retribution against the mass murderer.

When President Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, PA, Shapiro did not play partisan antagonist or indifferent executive. He worked closely with local and federal offices, including Republicans, to ensure everyone’s safety, to review the security failures, and to provide better security measures in the future.

Shapiro has signed off on corporate and property tax cuts; he has streamlined licensure regulations so that licensed professionals can enter the state job market faster with less hassle.  He has labeled himself an “all of the above” energy governor, supporting expansion of natural gas and nuclear energy, and he has withdrawn from regional climate change agreements. He even supports fracking, a position that US Senator John Fetterman had opposed and then pivoted on during this 2022 campaign.

Showing further pragmatism on recent issues, Shapiro has advocated a broader, more open stance on data centers, showing some agreement with President Trump. He wants proper regulations to avoid heavy resource costs on ratepayers, but he also seeks economic opportunity and business expansion for his state.

He’s still a liberal when it comes to LGBT issues, abortion, and guns, so he’s a Democrat, and those positions will lend him support in the Democratic primary.

Here are the liabilities facing Shapiro, should he throw his hat in the ring:

1.      He’s Jewish, and he served as a volunteer in Israel

The Democratic Party is embracing anti-Semitism with a self-destructive terrorist ferocity. Shapiro could push himself as an outsider with the inside knowledge to win elections at the national level, but can he overcome the Pro-Palestinian militants?

2.      His bipartisanship

His record of working across the aisle could kill his chances with the Democratic grassroots. Shapiro’s reform record on education will dampen his support from key Democratic constituency teachers' unions. Although he recently cut out funding for Pennsylvania’s school choice programs, national teachers' unions may not forgive his record.

3.      His no-drama competence

Sadly, all the merits that would make Shapiro competitive, even dangerous for Republicans in a general election would stymie his rise in the primary. Bernie Bros, the DSA, and angry progressives looking to destroy anything with a hint of conservatism or alignment with Trump will rally against Shapiro. Former Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t select him as her VP nominee because of the growing pro-Palestine propaganda and mobocracy taking over the Democratic Party. That has not changed.

In the next two years, however, enough grassroots leaders, consultants, and political pundits might have the power and sway to convince Democratic voters to back away from the Woke craziness of AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Hasan Piker.  If the 2026 Elections are a dud for the Democratic Party, Shapiro can capitalize on the DSA-based failures and make a call for moving to the middle and establishing a Democratic Party that can compete in all fifty states again.

No Matter How High the Gas Prices, I Won’t Let Communists Win

 

Yes, the gas prices are high, but I live in California, where gas prices are always going to be higher than the rest of the country. I don't blame President Trump, nor do I blame the conflict in Iran. If Iran wasn't trying to blow us up in a nuclear holocaust, then there would have been no reason for the United States to attack them! California shut down two refineries, and they add taxes and fees on top of more taxes and fees. Don’t scream at Trump, blue state residents. Blame your own incompetent state governments!

Am I happy about the inflation? No. 3% inflation is bad. This is a problem of federal overspending, and I don't think that President Trump's $5,000 dividend proposal is any good. If he's joking, it's still not a great idea. There’s a better way to give us money: let us keep what we already earn. Congress can cut a trillion and a half out of the budget, and then give all of the taxpaying Americans a $5,000 rebate from our 2026 tax returns.

Affordability, housing costs, wars and rumors of wars: the doomers, the blackpillers, the corporate media, the Democrats and their academic acolytes, all want us to focus on what is wrong or bad. They want their communist pals to get elected up and down the ticket this November.

We must not let some setbacks distract us from the great work that Trump and team have accomplished.

President Trump is doing so much good that I can let the little stuff go. The fact that we have illegals fleeing our country, that Visa overstays are getting kicked out, that immigrants who came in legally but caused nothing but trouble are being deported as well, and the fact that President Trump is standing tall and fighting for America makes me so proud to support him and the Republican ticket going into Election 2026. 

I'm sick and tired of listening to Americans b**** and moan about how much the gas is. Maybe they should talk to someone who drove their first car in the 1970s, when the OPEC-driven gas shortages were so acute that people could only go to gas stations depending on certain days and whether they had a number or a letter at the end of their license plate. President Trump has been playing 4-D chess when it comes to ensuring energy dominance and stability, protecting American prestige, securing our interests, and advancing our future. Trump took out Venezuelan narco-dictator Nicolas Maduro, then scored an excellent oil deal with the new leadership of the Latin American Communist hellhole, soon to be free to a republic once again. Trump has put Cuba on its heels and forced them to their knees. Mexico is no longer bailing out bad actors in the Caribbean and helping us defeat the drug cartels, too.

President Trump gave a great presentation of American greatness at the UN last week. I normally don't watch the UN speeches, but I listened to everything he said on September 23, 2026, and I applaud everything. He stood up to Iran—to their faces; he denounced Cuba, and the communist delegation saved face by walking out in shame; he stood up for American sovereignty once again, and he asserted clearly that there is no right to illegal immigration, but there is a right for nations to assert their sovereignty. 

I voted for all of this. I loved that he’s doubling down on why we elected him in 2024, and he’s not allowing some bad polling or nasty press to stop him from doing what is best.

The general public, including the conservative commentary class, is not paying enough attention to the massive rightward shift overtaking Latin America. For the first time in decades, the American President enjoys considerable, consummate allies at the UN from throughout the Americas. From Argentina to Ecuador, and now including a traditional catholic president of Colombia openly allying with us and fighting transnational drug cartels, we have allies helping us in our fight to protect our country, and you can bet your bottom dollar (or peso) that they're stopping the flow of mass immigration to our country. Canada is the only country not getting along with us right now, but that will change soon. 

Look at the major win that President Trump scored with Greenland! We get all of the power, we get to call the shots, we get to maintain our military presence, and we cut off hostile nations both to the west and to the NATO alliance. That means China and Russia don't get to call dibs or take advantage of the mineral deposits in Greenland. Frankly, I would have had no problem incorporating that massive territory into the American sphere as a commonwealth along with Puerto Rico or Guam. But President Trump is making the best deals to do what will serve our country for the long term.

Also at the UN, the conservative president of Paraguay, after ending sex mutilation of minors in his country, declared that Latin America must stop depending on the United States to do all the work for them. Have we not been praying for this day? The whole world has viewed the United States as the Battered Women's Shelter of the World or the Backup Plan for every failed State and for the voters in these countries who insisted on voting for those failed politicians. Sovereign countries around the world are taking responsibility for their defense, their sovereignty, their culture, and their future. WINNING!

I voted for all of this. No matter the domestic disturbances or disappointments that we face stateside, we should not ignore the fact that Trump 2.0 far exceeds not just his first term, but the terms of all the Republican and certainly Democratic presidents who have governed our country since the end of World War II. 

Because of this incredible success at the domestic level, the cleaning out of the federal government, the ending of mass immigration, the increase in respect and sovereignty for our country, plus the fact that wages are rising and poverty has plummeted across the nation, I have no problem voting for the Republican ticket up and down the ballot. 

We shouldn't just be motivated by what makes us glad, but we need to pay attention to what we're running against. From a twinky, flimsy, fake Christian playing pastor running against an effective attorney general in Texas, to an accomplished former congressman running against a pro-jihad militant in Michigan, we've got crazy Communists gunning for power all over the country.  I don't care how high your gas bills may be; it will be nothing compared to the energy crisis and domestic destruction if communist Democrats take the levers of power in Congress and in state legislatures across the country.

Don’t worry about high gas prices now. The war will end. Right now, we must choose American success and continued sovereignty, or communist failure. Election 2026 is the most important election yet. Don’t sit out the vote and pout. Trump is doing great, and our country is improving. I'm going to make phone calls for candidates in California and abroad. You should as well.

MassResistance: Idaho RINOs Spent Big to Stop Pro-Family Challenger

 

Idaho RINOs forced to spend massively to defeat MassResistance activist in GOP State Senate primary.

Most expensive primary fight of the year.

Even GOP Governor and Lt. Governor attack him, as well as special interests.

Exposes why “red” states are run by liberal Republicans

September 28, 2026

This RINO legislator is reviled by the grassroots across the state because he routinely kills good conservative legislation.

Our MassResistance activists are shaking the foundations of the RINO phony “conservative” dynasty.

Do you wonder why so many “red” states are run by liberal Republicans who keep getting elected? It’s been a big topic in conservative media this year. But we believe the RINO days are numbered.

RINO State Senator Jim Guthrie – the Idaho Legislature’s “hatchet man” against conservative bills

Idaho State Senator Jim Guthrie, one of the most powerful Republicans, is detested by grassroots conservatives. As chairman of the influential Senate State Affairs Committee, he is Governor Brad Little’s “hatchet man.”

Gov. Little, a RINO, does not want to have to sign conservative bills into law. Senator Guthrie keeps good conservative legislation from seeing the light of day – especially bills that have passed the House. Since they never get passed by both branches, Gov. Little is relieved of the pressure of having to sign them.

Bills dealing with illegal immigration, abortion, the transgender agenda, etc., are stopped in Guthrie’s committee. For example, two years in a row the Idaho House passed our MassResistance Resolution urging the overturn of the Obergefell “gay marriage” ruling. But both years, it died in Guthrie’s Senate committee.

Guthrie advertises himself to his constituents as a “strong conservative.” But by most accounts, his voting record is to the left of many Democrats in the legislature.

David Worley takes on Guthrie in the GOP primary

In 2023, David Worley helped lead our chapter in Pocatello, Idaho. Parents there were outraged over the hundreds of repulsive pornographic books in the public library. He helped them fight back. In 2024, as an Idaho National Guard officer, he stood by his principles and opposed the LGBT agenda in the National Guard in a high-profile religious discrimination lawsuit.

In 2023, David Worley led an impromptu "Town Hall" with MassResistance parents in the library board meeting room after the board refused to show up for its own meeting and face criticism over the obscene children's books.

This year, David decided to take on Guthrie in the Republican primary held on May 19. David had earlier run for Mayor of Pocatello and so had some name recognition. He is smart, principled, and fearless - and a tireless campaigner.

David did not mince words on his three top issues:

1. Christian values in the schools: Take out the poisonous abortion, homosexual, and transgender agendas completely.
2. Illegal Immigration: Real action needs to be taken.
3. Guthrie’s sellout of his constituents in his prominent anti-conservative activity in the Senate.

These three issues directly confronted the corporate and leftist status quo in Idaho. And it was becoming clear that David was getting traction with the people in the district.

Unbelievably massive attack campaign against David

Apparently, the establishment could see David was not some ordinary guy that Guthrie could easily beat. They had to keep this seat. So they did a ramped-up version of what they probably do everywhere.

Idaho’s major RINO politicians publicly endorsed Guthrie: the Governor, Lt. Governor, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Secretary of State, and State Controller. (But the Idaho Attorney General, Raul Labrador, stood up and endorsed Worley, as did grassroots conservatives across the state.)

The status quo forces came together and launched a massive attack campaign against Worley.

Nobody in the district had ever seen anything like it. The district was saturated with anti-Worley messages. Voters were subjected to:

• Multiple anti-Worley mailings each day, with messages specifically tailored to their demographic (rural, city, etc.)
• Huge TV blitz: You couldn’t walk into a sports bar without seeing constant anti-Worley commercials on all the TVs.
• Big radio blitz. It seemed like every radio station had anti-Worley ads.
• A barrage of targeted text messaging.
• A flood of carefully targeted ads and messages on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and other social media.

This attack mailing - which distorts David's true record - was sent out by the agriculture lobby, which wants to keep illegal immigration in place.

This mailing, which paints Guthrie as "supporting local farmers" was sent out by the dairy lobby, which also wants to keep illegal immigration in place.

The dishonesty was breathtaking. The “PAC for Public Lands” (funded by pro-illegal immigration groups) repeatedly attacked David for being against “open spaces,” because he hadn't previously taken any position on that issue. But they knew he didn’t have the funds to counter it.

This "PAC for Public Lands" mailing implies David is against preserving "open spaces."

David’s campaign budget was a fraction of that against him. He ended up raising about $60,000 - mostly from individual donors. State pro-family PACs from Idaho and around the country spent about $90,000 helping him.

There were some pro-Worley mailings sent out. This one correctly informs the voters, "Guthrie voted against multiple conservative immigration bills and supports the radical transgender agenda on record."

Where did the RINO money and organizing come from?

In all, over half a million dollars was spent on this race, making it by far the most expensive Idaho primary of this election cycle. Most of the money, tactics, and organizing came from outside groups.

It was not just Planned Parenthood and the LGBT lobby attacking David. The massive corporate pro-illegal immigration lobby in Idaho – which includes big agriculture, construction, health care, hospitality, manufacturing, chambers of commerce, and other businesses – was a major funder of attacks on David. They are serious about keeping illegal immigration open, and Guthrie’s defeat would be a disaster for them. (They gladly team up with the Left on this issue – which wants illegal immigration to create Democrat voters.)

The construction industry sent this, telling voters that Guthrie has "a record of delivering results for District 28." Those "results" are stopping any bills that curb illegal immigration!

Another mailing for Guthrie by the agriculture industry, which depends on low-wage illigal immigrants.

Of course, the public wasn’t aware of who was really behind much of this, because the industries and lobbying groups hid their donations behind layers of phony conservative-sounding PACS such as “Defend and Protect Idaho.”

This was sent to voters from the "Idaho Prosperity Fund," which is a front for the construction industry.

Gov. Little controls the “Idaho Liberty PAC,” which also provided huge funding and coordination against David. That phony “conservative” PAC exists to keep real conservative legislation from getting passed, and is generously funded by corporations, RINO donors, and leftists.

Gov. Little's "Idaho Liberty PAC" in action!

This "Idaho Liberty PAC" mailing describes Guthrie as demonstrating "Proven Conservative Leadership."

Guthrie refused to debate David

Even though they obviously considered David a serious challenger, Guthrie refused to debate him face-to-face. The obvious reason is that it would have given David an opportunity to rebut all the lies and distortions used to attack him. David showed up to scheduled radio and other debates anyway.

There were several “town hall” type public forums where both candidates answered questions, however, and David took full advantage of that.

Nevertheless, David came close to winning

In the end, even with all that enormous money and campaign power against him, David still came close to winning. Guthrie won by 53.3% (3,905 votes) to 46.7% (3,424 votes). David only lost by 481 votes.

It was actually a stunning and shocking near-upset against a huge RINO blitz. There’s a sense that people began to feel that if the Republican establishment is spending that much money to attack someone, he must be pretty special.

Final thoughts

Having talked with David afterwards, we have a feeling he will be back to run next time to close the gap and win. If anything, the establishment Republicans will need twice as much money to stop him!

There are two important lessons we can learn here.

First, a dedicated, principled individual can make a big difference. That’s why corrupt government and big business hate people like David Worley.

Second, make no mistake: If you’re wondering why “red” state politicians keep supporting the liberal agenda, what happened here is Exhibit A. This raw flexing of anti-conservative muscle is replicated across all “red” states in some fashion. Gov. Little’s sleazy “Idaho Liberty PAC” is an example of how blatant it can get. Regular people need to wake up, as they are starting to do in Idaho’s Senate District 28.

As Samuel Adams famously described, these are the kinds of “brush fires” that MassResistance is working to start everywhere.

California Supreme Court Stops Riverside Sheriff Investigation into Voter Fraud

 

Friends, Today the California Supreme Court made their ruling on our legal ballot investigation into voter fraud. Here’s what you should know. The Justices ruled that the AG can terminate legal and warrant approved investigations, conducted by elected Sheriff’s. In other words, the AG now has unchecked power over any investigation in the state of California.

Support Bianco Here is what the ruling fails to address: citizens in Riverside County found a 45,896-ballot gap between the certified tally and the records they pulled from the Registrar. The Registrar said it was a paperwork error. Bonta said stop looking. I got warrants from a judge and started looking anyway. That is my job. They called it “unprecedented.” Good. Most people in power never get asked hard questions about an election. I asked them. For that, the Court handed Bonta the power to pause a local criminal investigation and lock the evidence behind the Registrar. I will obey the writs. I will not obey the message behind them — that local law enforcement works for Sacramento, not for the people who elected us. My message to Bonta is simple: you may have succeeded in burying the truth—for now. But nothing stays hidden forever. In time, everything comes to light. Thank you, — Sheriff Chad Bianco
