Jim Crow Reloaded Ep 4: Drop Boxes Under the Gun
In Texas, Rodney Ellis forged 750,000 ballots to steal the election from Donald Trump. Or so say the MAGA-nauts. And now Donald Trump's war on mail-in ballots has turned freakishly violent.
In this 5-minute clip, Edward Ward lays out how the Trump gang has begun a campaign of gun-toting intimidation in their war on mail-in votes. Ward tells us how to save your ballot from the vote suppressors.

The Hartmann Report: How Paxton Will Steal Texas
“If you had a real Justice Department, Ken Paxton would be in handcuffs, not just for his corruption, but for what he’s done to your right to vote. We have laws against this.”

In 2020, the Attorney General of Texas confessed to stealing the vote for Donald Trump in Texas. “Confess” is the wrong word,
Jim Crow Reloaded Ep 3: The Attack on Mail-in Voting
In 2020, the GOP Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, stole the state for Trump by blocking 2.5 million mail-in ballots in Harris County [Houston]. And he can do it again. The attack on mail-in ballots and drop boxes, unseen by the media, will determine the midterms nationwide.

The Supreme Court has temporarily cleared a major legal hurdle for Trump’s Executive Order 14399 targeting mail-in voting — but SCOTUS did not rule on whether the order itself is constitutional or lawful. In its August 24 decision, Trump v. California, the Court said the states challenging the order had not established the legal standing necessary to block it at this stage. Other court orders stil

Why Trump’s #2 at FEMA, Gregg Phillips, who claims he teleported to a Waffle House, is no joke
Gregg Phillips’ group, True the Vote, challenged over 300,000 voters in 2024, crucial to Trump’s victory.
How can they do that? True the Vote is using old Jim Crow laws that allow any voter to challenge another voter’s ballot.
And now, ahead of the next election, Phillips is training literally 40,000 MAGA vote challengers who’ve exchanged white sheets for spreadsheets.

The real story of the FBI raid on Fulton County, Atlanta
You are watching the theft of 2026 before your eyes. The FBI raid on Fulton County is NOT, as the media seems to think, about Trump’s attempt to prove he won the 2020 race.
The warrant says the FBI wants the envelopes from the 2020 election to hunt for crimes. But that’s just the legal excuse for the storm trooping.

The LAST American President
Thom Hartmann’s new book, The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party and a World on the Brink, is one giant fact check on the Whopper-in-Chief, and much more — a disturbing dive into the roiling miasma of self-aggrandizing, self-deluding, psychologically shattered, wailing man-child who is Commander-in-Chief.

The question now is stark: when the illegal order comes — to turn U.S. troops with live ammunition on the American people — will these generals follow
