Note the use of passive voice in the first sentence.
"...is deemed illegitimate."
Who is doing the "deeming"?
Passive voice is the nefarious refuge of scoundrels and lawyers. (I know, I was one; lawyer that is, not scoundrel 😉)
They are intentionally hiding who it is that decides "legitimacy."
It's not you. It's not me. It's not the ~173mm registered voters in the USA.
It's the coup plotters themselves--the several thousand NGO pimps and ex-USAID/CIA/State/military who have decided that THEY know what is best for the rest of us, whether we like it or not.
THEY will decide if President Trump is "legitimate."
It's an ongoing Color Revolution. It's an in-process coup.
The proposal says they were working with Braver Angels CEO Maury Giles to engage Utah Governor Spencer Cox and his Disagree Better network.
"Because Governor action must emerge as cross-partisan, we are working with Maury Giles, CEO of Braver Angels, to engage Governor Spencer Cox of Utah and the cross-partisan Disagree Better network."

Our true history has been distorted, diminished, and demonized by woke Hollywood gasbags for far too long. That's why we need real American storytellers to do exactly what KG is doing here.
Hats off to you, sir!
After forty years in front of the camera, I’ll be directing my first feature film, SO HELP ME GOD: a Civil War epic about a Union soldier named Albert Townsend, who should have received the Medal of Honor but didn’t.
Clerical error.
I learned of Albert through his descendants’ archival research. What I found was more than an injustice waiting to be corrected. It was a story of friendship and extraordinary courage: an unassuming young man becoming a soldier who held his ground, and his principles, under fire.
That’s a story worth telling on the largest possible scale. And we’re inviting the people who want to see it told to help bring it to the screen, as investors in the film through Republic.
We intend to do it justice: real cannons, one hundred horses, and the cast in period-accurate uniforms. We’ve brought on Mark Huffam, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan, Game of Thrones, and The Martian, to produce it. He knows what it takes to make an epic, and how much depends on the human story at its heart.
At the Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I introduced the project alongside Civil War historian Brad Quinlin, members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and representatives of Civil War Roundtables. We’re also supporting the campaign for Albert’s posthumous Medal of Honor. His descendants are still fighting to see his courage properly recognized.
This picture is about friendship, love, and honor — and common people rising to accomplish extraordinary things. I want to give that story everything it deserves.
I hope you will lift the banner with us.

Watch closely as this Oathbreaker gets ratio'ed into the stratosphere.
Apologies to Marine buddies who rightly don't want to be associated with this piece of absolute trash.
As a Marine and dad, I’m voting Yes on 9 to keep assault weapons off our streets.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

RE: The Midterms and National Survival
The Democrat Party has been hijacked by an alliance of literal Communists and Islamic jihadists who now wear the mantle of Tip O’Neill and Sam Nunn like a skinsuit while espousing the most radical, anti-American agenda the USA has ever experienced.
These are people who want the Constitution eviscerated, capitalism extinguished, Sharia law imposed and your very way of life destroyed. If they achieve power, the lawfare you saw in 2020 will be NOTHING by comparison. If you hold traditional conservative values and/or if you are a practicing Christian or a Jew, they want you destroyed—economically, politically, practically, reputationally and—if necessary—they want you in a Gulag or to pay with your life.
This is not hyperbole, nor is this something that will happen overnight if we lose the midterms. However, if they win the midterms this will be for them a major step towards their ultimate goal of domination, a domination where the Bill of Rights has no meaning and all elections are pre-determined.
I really don’t care how much you dislike RINOs or how upset you are that Trump did not fully fix your pet issue in less than two years or how irritated you get filling up your gas tank. If you sit out these upcoming midterms to “send a message,” all you are doing is participating in your own demise.
If this is you, please wise up. This is NOT POLITICS AS USUAL. National survival is at stake in a way it never has been before.

Ohio Democratic Senate nominee Sherrod Brown just pledged that he will not vote to confirm any Trump judicial nominees regardless of their qualifications. So not only would the Democrats pack the Court, but they will block any new judges to purge the courts through attrition.

WaPo reports that the federal criminal fraud investigation investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is called “World War 11”, an apparent reference to a recent comment Omar made when she said the Alien Enemies Act hadn’t been used since “World War Eleven”.

Our democracy rests on the rule of law. When someone—no matter how powerful they are—is suspected of a criminal act, our justice system investigates, charges, and convicts them in accordance with due process.

NEW: A new DHS Inspector General report finds the Biden administration took almost no enforcement action against visa overstays, including public safety threats, and arrested only a handful out of millions. The numbers are stunning. From FY21-FY24:
- ICE received over 3.1 million visa overstay leads, roughly 104,000 of which had public safety or national security concerns. But that resulted in only 496 investigations by ICE (2%) and ONLY EIGHT ARRESTS.
- A September 2021 Mayorkas policy memo directed ICE to target only illegal immigrants considered “Priority 1 leads” (highest threat to public safety). Out of 1,769 viable Priority 1 visa overstay leads, ICE only conducted 84 investigations (5%), resulting in ONLY 2 ARRESTS.
- The majority of the more than 3 million visa overstay leads were deemed “non-priority”. 2.8 million of these “non-priority” leads were sent to ICE for investigation, leading to just 5 investigations and ONLY TWO ARRESTS. (out of 2.8 million!)
Another shocking piece of the report, visa overstays tracked by CBP exploded by 364% during Biden’s first full year in office (Fiscal Year 2022).
CBP tracked visa overstays in FY2021: 171,269
CBP tracked visa overstays in FY2022: 795,167
THE DHS IG concluded the 2021 Mayorkas memo is largely behind the lack of enforcement.
“ICE conducted few nonimmigrant overstay lead-initiated investigations and arrested even fewer foreign nationals who stayed beyond or violated the terms of their admission because of the September 2021 policy that directed ICE’s limited resources only to leads posing a threat to national security, public safety, and border security. When ICE did attempt to pursue action on a lead, it encountered challenges verifying addresses and locating the foreign nationals present in the United States. Further, ICE did not have sufficient resources to pursue all overstay leads.”

“It was midafternoon, October 3, 1993. Eversmann’s Chalk Four was part of a force of U.S. Army Rangers and Delta Force operators who were about to drop uninvited on a gathering of Habr Gidr clan leaders in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia.”

I am honored to know some of the men who fought on October 3rd and 4th 1993 in the streets of Mogadishu. It is my sincere hope that more of them will one day tell their stories. The next generation needs heroes.
On 1 October 2021, 18 Army Rangers received Silver Stars for their actions in the battle. In his remarks at the ceremony, General Richard Clarke, former commander of USSOCOM, noted: ““Few missions have left as enduring a legacy as the mission we’re recognizing today...Put this in perspective: 18. Eighteen Silver Stars. Our nation’s third-highest award all being presented for one action, primarily from one company, over one 24-hour period.”

James Williams fought a three hour running gun battle down the rivers of the Mekong Delta with two small patrol boats, and by the end he had wrecked a whole enemy flotilla. He is considered the most decorated enlisted sailor in the history of the United States Navy.
He was born in 1930 in Fort Mill, South Carolina, raised in the small town of Darlington, and he claimed Cherokee blood. He joined the Navy at seventeen in 1947 and made a career of it. He fought in Korea first, aboard a destroyer, and even went ashore to run raiding parties into North Korea by small boat. By the time Vietnam came around he was a grizzled boatswain's mate first class, exactly the kind of tough old salt you wanted in charge when things went bad.
In Vietnam he commanded a river patrol boat, PBR 105, part of the brown water navy hunting Viet Cong on the waterways of the Delta. On October 31, 1966, his two boat patrol chased a fleeing sampan into a canal and suddenly found itself in the middle of a massive enemy concentration, junks and sampans everywhere, with heavy fire pouring from fortified positions along both banks. Most men would have run. Williams attacked.
For three hours he drove his two boats straight through it. He called in Navy Huey gunships, and when they arrived he kept pressing. Then, as darkness fell and he knew it would make his boats glowing targets, he ordered the searchlights switched on to see the enemy better, and drove in close to shore to finish the fight. When it was over his little patrol had shattered a major enemy force and destroyed roughly sixty five boats. It was one of the most one sided small unit actions of the entire river war.
President Johnson gave him the Medal of Honor in 1968. But that was only part of it. Williams also earned the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars, three Bronze Stars, three Purple Hearts, and a medal for diving into a sinking dredge to pull a trapped man out through a flooded hatch. Add it all up and no enlisted sailor in Navy history has ever been decorated more.
He retired from the Navy and became a United States Marshal for South Carolina, spending a second career in law enforcement. He died in 1999 and was buried in his home state. The Navy paid him the ultimate compliment a few years later. They named a guided missile destroyer the USS James E. Williams, so a warship now carries into every ocean the name of the river sailor who would not back down.

Sure, I have heroes, but the list is pretty small.
It includes Major James Capers Jr.
Here’s why:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty as a Team Leader with 3d Force Reconnaissance Company, 3d Reconnaissance Battalion in the Republic of Vietnam from 31 March to 3 April 1967. Tasked to locate a North Vietnamese regimental base camp southwest of Phu Loc and provide observation for the flank of Company M, 3d Battalion, 26th Marines, Second Lieutenant Capers maneuvered his nine-man team on a four-day patrol through rugged enemy territory. The team had contact with 20 enemy soldiers on the first day of patrol, and two additional contacts on the second day, resulting in one severely wounded team member. Despite being outnumbered by enemy forces, Second Lieutenant Capers relentlessly pursued his vigilant and tenacious adversary, and called for fire on an enemy base camp to thwart an impending attack on Company M. On the last day of the patrol, his team was engaged by a numerically superior enemy force with an initial attack from claymore mines, coupled with direct and indirect fire. Despite severe pain and blood loss caused by the multiple fragmentation and gunshot wounds he sustained, Second Lieutenant Capers bravely continued to lead his team and maintain the initiative. Even after being administered morphine, he continued to coordinate supporting fires and his team’s movement to a helicopter extraction site. While struggling to maintain consciousness and still under enemy attack, Second Lieutenant Capers maintained command of the situation to ensure all of his Marines were evacuated before he, barely able to stand, finally boarded the helicopter. By his bold leadership, undaunted courage, and complete dedication to duty, Second Lieutenant Capers reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

I’m too shocked, disgusted and angry to really even be commenting at this point, but I will anyway. Andrew was a fan who became a friend. Cam and I just had lunch with him in Forth Worth in June, when he drove from Austin to see my return to the stage after my father’s sudden death in May.
Andrew was a rare person: Genuinely kind just for the sake of it; it quite clearly never occurred to him to expect anything in return. I am haunted and horrified thinking of his final moments, and beyond furious that this was the end the world gave him, the same world that he’d always gone out of his way to make a better place.
We all love you Andrew, and we always will. Your kindness made you a legend.
NEW DETAILS on the murder and attempted beheading of a man at a Round Rock park.
Andrew James Wimsatt sat down on a bench that Monday morning in a plaid blue button-up and shorts. Three minutes later he was dead.
A neighbor's camera had already caught Benedict Ogbodiegwu Jr. leaving his house that morning, walking toward the park with something in his left pocket that detectives say looked like a large knife sticking out.
He stopped for a drink at the water fountain by the basketball court. Then he found Wimsatt.
He came from behind, wrapped his left arm around the man, and started driving the knife into his neck. Wimsatt tried to push him off. He couldn't. He was stabbed several more times before he hit the ground.
Then Ogbodiegwu walked around to his left side, knelt down, put his knee on the dying man's chest, and kept going -- sawing the blade back and forth while it was inside his neck.
He wiped the blade on his shirt and jogged off toward the pool.
Four minutes after he left the park, that same neighbor's camera caught him walking back home, two houses away.
That afternoon he turned up at a McDonald's in a different outfit and left as a passenger in a red SUV. The plate traced back to his father's house, nine-tenths of a mile from the bench.
When detectives showed him a still from the crime scene video, he admitted it was him. Then said he was never at the park. Then said he has a twin. Asked for his twin's name, he had nothing.
Deputies found a trash bag by the garage. Inside: the Honda shirt he was wearing at the murder scene, grey sweatpants with red stains, size 12 Jordans, and a 5.5-inch knife with a wooden handle. The red substance on the blade tested presumptive positive for human blood.
The two men had never met. He apparently decided to just stab a stranger.
In January, Ogbodiegwu was arrested for theft, which was dismissed. In May, arrested for giving police a fake name - also dismissed. Years earlier, he was arrested for theft.
The victim, Andrew Wimsatt, was 62 years old, and an accomplished civil engineer in Texas. He was also an avid nature and wildlife photography enthusiast.
Fox News host @greggutfeld called him “supremely gentle. Willing to do just about anything for another person.”
Before his murder, Andrew had just returned from visiting his mother a nearby nursing home.
