Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: Nearly Half of Federal Employees Plan to Resist Trump, Poll Finds From dailysignal.com 8:11 AM · Jan 13, 2025 ·

With all the ballots counted and all the races decided, in today’s post, I want to unpack what we already know about how Trump “won” the popular vote.1 I use quotes around the word “won” for two reasons. First, to keep in full view what I wrote earlier in “Is This What Democracy Looks Like?” – that Trump’s candidacy was only viable because the justices he appointed to the Supreme Court: (1) disabled the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment (which should otherwise have barred him from holding office again) and (2) shielded him from standing trial before the election...

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. The Left doesn’t get it. They’d rather mainline whatever sludge CNN or MSNBC spews on the airwaves, but there’s no escaping this anymore: Donald J. Trump won the 2024 election. He won the Electoral College. He won the popular vote. He beat the lawfare and the media smear campaigns. He’s unstoppable, invincible, and it’s about time Democrats realize they cannot beat him. So, when you have these clown threads on Twitter claiming how Trump didn’t win the popular vote—look no further than Nate Silver, of all people, to annihilate...

A closed-door meeting of left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) was held on January 16, 2003, in Washington, D.C. to consider how to apply international financial pressure through a global tax on the U.S. Bruno Jetin, a representative of ATTAC France, spoke to the gathering and acknowledged in private conversation that his group works hand-in-glove with the French Communist Party and the "Socialist parties on the Left." A representative of the embassy of France in the U.S. was listed as a participant. ATTAC stands for the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens. The International ATTAC Movement...

The union’s Georgia president, whose name appears at the bottom of the letter, claims it was sent without his permission: ‘I had no idea they were sending out a letter with my name.’If former President Donald Trump wins November’s election, he would pose an “existential threat” — at least according to a letter apparently from the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), obtained by The Federalist.“If Donald Trump wins the upcoming election, it could prove an existential threat to our union and our contract,” the letter reads. “Your vote matters: consider how the consequences could affect you, your job, and...

Joe Biden on Wednesday dropped by a meeting of national union leaders at the AFL-CIO headquarters in DC. There was no enthusiasm for Biden at the union meeting (even though they were paid to be there). It had a ‘funeral-like’ atmosphere. “I think of you as my domestic NATO — not a joke,” Biden said. “I said I’m going to be the most pro-union president in American history,” Biden said. “Well guess what? I am.” As usual, Biden was incoherently rambling about a bunch of different topics. At one point Biden went off-script in an attempt to be relatable and...

The modern democracy desired by Saturday’s participants is one our corporate and ivory tower overlords control, rather than the peons in red states.On Saturday, 100 big business leaders joined a Zoom call to plot a unified response to voting-integrity legislation pending in many states, similar to a law recently passed in Georgia. While billed as “non-partisan” efforts to defend voting rights and democracy, the players involved, their preferred policies, and the undemocratic pressure they seek to exert proves the virtual gathering was nothing of the sort.CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe first confirmed the existence of the call on Saturday, identifying American...

The New Jersey AFL-CIO will not take sides in the hotly contested race for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district between Republican incumbent Tom Kean, Jr. and Democrat Sue Altman. That means national Democrats head into one of the races that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives without the backing of the state’s largest labor union. Altman was likely a casualty of her past disputes with the South Jersey Democratic machine and with the New Jersey AFL-CIO president, Charles Wowkanech. The New Jersey Globe has learned that leaders of the building trades unions had pushed for no...

Over 100 organizations expressed support for President Biden’s judicial nominee, Adeel Mangi, and condemned “baseless attacks” against him. In a letter sent Tuesday, 125 national, state and local organizations urged senators to confirm Mangi to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. “Mr. Mangi is fair-minded, brilliant, and has shown throughout his impressive legal career a steadfast dedication to equal justice for all, and he will be a tremendous judge on the Third Circuit,” the letter reads. The letter features support from national organizations like AFL-CIO and Center for American Progress to state and local organizations like Make the Road Nevada...

That's why the participants want the secret history of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a paranoid fever dream–a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information. They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it.“

A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing. The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence. Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As President Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action but crickets. When media organizations called the race for Joe Biden on Nov. 7, jubilation broke out instead, as people thronged cities across the U.S. to celebrate the democratic process that...

Raising money to finance illegal activity is illegal for anyone - so why do the rules not apply to the Left? Antifa, like the Democrat Party, is built on the model of nonprofit support infrastructure. In the party, that means everything except the most direct campaign activities are outsourced to networks of nonprofits that use tax-deductible donations for everything from voter registration and outreach, media and messaging, to funding election infrastructure ‘Zuckerbucks’ style. Unlike its Black Lives Matter allies, the Antifa networks aren’t funded by a single nonprofit. Antifa’s illegal activities and the radical tendencies of its participants, many of...

President Biden expressed his support for labor unions and boasted about Democratic legislative victories during a Wisconsin labor event just two months ahead of the November midterms. Speaking at Milwaukee Laborfest, the president said Labor Day is “a special day to me as well because the fact of the matter here is I wouldn’t be here without unions! Unions. Electricians, iron workers … teamsters, laborers, bricklayers, transit workers, plumbers and pipefitters, steel workers.”

(Translation) Longshoremen's union leader Carlos Sánchez Ortiz and several employees of [International Longshoremen's Association] 1740 who work in the docks of San Juan face seven charges, among them fraud, labor extortion, and illegal appropriation, U.S. Attorney in Puerto Rico Stephen Muldrow announced. The group also faces charges of conspiracy, violation of the Organized Crime Law, and money-laundering. It is alleged that the accused appropriated over $1 million. Six of the arrested are males and one is a female. The accused face up to 20 years in prison for the crimes they presumably committed.

President Joe Biden will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to 17 people, including former Rep. Gabby Giffords, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe, the White House announced Friday. Biden will present the medals at a White House event on July 7. The medals, the country’s highest civilian honor, are awarded at the discretion of the president to people who have made a significant cultural impact or great contributions to the country or world. Biden will also awards medals to actor Denzel Washington; Khizr Khan, the father of a fallen Muslim U.S. Army captain; and Sandra...

President Joe Biden called it a day on Tuesday after returning to the White House following a quick trip to Philadelphia. Biden delivered a 35-minute speech at the 29th Quadrennial AFL-CIO Convention at 11:00 a.m., trying to defend his economic agenda, despite growing dissatisfaction in the country with high gas prices and growing inflation.

Joe Biden on Tuesday spoke at the AFL-CIO labor union convention in Philadelphia where he defended his abysmal economic track record and lashed out at Wall Street. Biden repeated the same boring lies in his speech to 2,000 union members and state officials: Republicans want to raise taxes Biden discussed the price of gas at the dinner table when he was a child (gas prices were flat his entire childhood Americans have more savings now (they don’t – Americans have an average of $9,000 less in savings now) Biden claimed wages have gone up (inflation has outpaced wages) Joe Biden...

In tonights video, we build on our Bullet Points episode introducing how a chapter of the AFL-CIO (Largest Labor Union in the US) just passed a Gun Rights resolution... I have never seen anything like this before

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka today made the following remarks at a rally to save health care: Good afternoon, brothers and sisters. I’m Rich Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO. I am proud to be here on behalf of the American labor movement. We oppose the Republican health care bill. It’s bad for workers. It’s bad for unions. It’s bad for America. It doubles down on taxing our health plans. It threatens Medicare and Medicaid. And it further tilts our economy toward the wealthiest few. In fact, this isn’t a health care plan at all. It’s a massive transfer of wealth from...

He will be joined by Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark; newly elected Gov.
