---SNIP--- On Saturday, Sept. 26, as advertised by the Biden campaign, Madison poll workers turned out across the city to register voters and collect absentee ballots, even though in-person absentee ballot collection is not supposed to start until two weeks before Election Day, according to Wisconsin state election law. Several of McKenna’s listeners showed up to photograph the city government workers’ activities promoted by the Biden for President campaign. The poll workers stuffed ballots into “red zipper bags with no security whatsoever. The poll workers witnessed people’s (blank) ballots, just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot,...

Good Morning And WELCOME TO THE JEFFREY T. KUHNER SHOW!

I generally don't like the idea of boycotts, at least not in a coordinated manner. I view boycotts as a tool of the left. That doesn't mean that I do not personally choose to send my business elsewhere when I am displeased with a business.I clearly recall the first business that I decided to avoid. It was K-mart. I don't remember the exact year, but I remember the reason. They made a big anti-2a push and stopped selling firearms in their stores. It was their choice to go public about being anti-gun. They were trying to influence public opinion. I...

Can right-wing populist sentiment be banished from American life by the brute force of social-media censorship? We’re about to find out. After Wednesday’s mob invasion of the Capitol that disrupted the counting of electoral votes, big tech firms have moved, aggressively and in unison, against Donald Trump and his supporters. The companies say they want to marginalize the violent fringe, but their censorship will grow it instead. On Thursday and Friday came the Facebook and Twitter bans of Mr. Trump. Given the extraordinary circumstances, some commentators who normally oppose web censorship were untroubled. An exception who deserves to be listened...

Watch Bannon’s War Room 10 AM Eastern.

Too many people are conflating “Trumpers” with the entire right or with conservatives and even with Republicans as if they were all the same thing. It’s one thing when the Left does this, but we need to be clear that the “right” is a mixture of groups with similar beliefs, but with distinct differences that must be understood. What matters is that we on the right all face a herculean struggle between capitalism and socialism, and between strict construction of the Constitution and judicial activism, and a host of other threats to the Republic. In the lead-up to the 2016...

Rep. Matt Gaetz joined FOX News on Sunday to discuss the Democrat Party’s latest attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.

Gaetz told FOX News he spoke with President Trump and “he’s not leaving the public stage at all.” Gaetz added, “Donald Trump remains the inspirational leader of a loving patriotic movement.”

There can't be much doubt in anybody's mind: The way to strike back and strike hard against big tech is through their pocket books - and there's no bigger door for opportunity than the myriad of easily downloadable open source technologies. But one of the biggest "bigs" of the big tech world has largely gone with less scrutiny than the rest: Microsoft. Here, look at the image: Trump certainly noticed. Now it's not that Microsoft doesn't give huge amounts of money to progressive causes, because they do. It isn't that Microsoft really doesn't want conservative customers, because in reality, the...

Propaganda is causing a chaotic and disordered fear response in the American people and in others worldwide, empowering our socialist super-class to remake the world.. America’s ruling class and the propagandists in the mainstream “media” continue to do as much as possible to stampede the public into mass panic over COVID-19 in order to generate support for, or prevent opposition to, various totalitarian agenda points. The envisioned measures include new and aggressive lockdowns, biometric tracking, digital identity, and other platform proposals for the United Nations/World Economic Forum’s communistic “Great Reset.” (Incredibly, the World Economic Forum, and other institutions and elites...

Marriott International announced that it will suspend donations to Republican senators who voted to object to the certification of Electoral College votes last week. While several corporations in the last days announced they plan to review or pause all political contributions, Marriott took things a step further by targeting Republicans. The multinational hospitality company decided that the violence that erupted at the U.S. Capitol last week as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden as president, came as protesters supporting President Donald Trump sought to “undermine a legitimate and fair election.” “We have taken the destructive events at the Capitol to...

NEW YORK: Friends, family and advisers to Donald Trump have been bitterly complaining that Twitter’s ban of the president after his supporters stormed the US Capitol amounts to an assault on free speech by radical leftists. Ironically, given the enormous influence of the platform, they have aired their grievances first of all on … Twitter – a choice underscoring the platform’s huge readership and the relative paucity of alternatives. “Free speech is dead & controlled by leftist overlords,” tweeted Donald Trump Jr, the president’s older son. Asked Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal lawyer, “Who will be silenced next?” And Mike...
