The ‘Bidenbucks’ Coverup, and the Rush to Find Answers…

Congressional Republicans are demanding answers about the Joe Biden regime’s use of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to engage alleged in pro-Democrat get-out-the-vote efforts. The Biden SBA has “partnered” with the Michigan Secretary of State to spend taxpayer money on voter registration efforts in the key battleground state, an endeavor critics say is a thinly veiled effort to spend ‘Bidenbucks’ on buying Biden voters. It is refusing to comply with the House Small Business Committee’s investigation.

Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, said the regime’s use of the SBA for voter registration in Michigan was “beyond disturbing.”

Ernst, alongside Rep. Roger Williams, R-Texas, Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, is seeking answers regarding the SBA’s connection to the Michigan voter registration project. Earlier this year, a memorandum was signed between the SBA and the Michigan Department of State “to promote civic engagement and voter registration,” with the partnership set to continue until the beginning of 2036. This move is part of President Biden’s Executive Order 14019, often referred to as “Bidenbucks” by election integrity advocates.

Last week, Williams issued subpoenas to Tyler Robinson and Arthur Plews, both prominent SBA officials, following their noncompliance with a congressional investigation into suspected “engineering” activities.

Ernst and Williams stated that SBA officials continue to disregard their requests for documentation and have not attended scheduled interviews, intensifying uncertainty around the regime’s transparency. Moving forward, Biden‘s executive order and the SBA’s involvement in voter registration will likely face legal challenges and rigorous analyses.

“Using taxpayer dollars in an attempt to engage in federal campaign activities is a gross abuse of official agency resources and needs to be further investigated,” Ernst wrote in a letter to SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman last month.

RFK’s Far-Left ‘Pay to Play’ Running Mate Nicole Shanahan Injects ANOTHER $8m Into Campaign.

Nicole Shanahan, the Silicon Valley investor and running mate to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is putting an additional $8 million into their independent presidential campaign. The Wednesday night donation, during a comedy fundraiser in Nashville, brings her total contributions to $10 million. There are concerns Shanahan is essentially a “pay to play” running mate. Sources say her money is essential to RFK Jr.’s efforts to secure ballot access, but she “lacks the qualifications to actually do the job.”

Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, also gave $4 million to American Values 2024, a Super PAC supporting Kennedy, for a Super Bowl advertisement prior to being made running mate.

She is a lawyer and advocate for “criminal justice reform,” with a San Francisco Magazine profile saying she has been “devoted” to this cause “for years, long before the Black Lives Matter movement.”

Before backing Kennedy, Shanahan was a donor to Joe Biden — she gave $30,000 to his reelection campaign — as well as the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.

Allies of Donald Trump, including Donald Trump Jr., believe Kennedy, himself a lifelong Democrat, is a “plant” to hurt the Trump campaign.

While RFK Jr. appears to take support from both Trump and Biden, some data indicates he hurts the former president more than the incumbent, and has attracted the support of many more Trump donors than Biden donors.

Trump has indicated he understands the threat, which National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam has outlined at length on multiple occasions.

Soros Groups Want ‘Individuals’ Like YOU Censored Because of Your ‘Outsized Impact’ on Elections.

Billionaire George Soros is funding a media advocacy group, Free Press, with the intent to influence major tech companies to censor content before the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This Washington, D.C.-based organization, founded in 2003, ostensibly promotes “positive social change, racial justice,” and “equitable access to technology” to ensure fair journalism.

Recently, Free Press, supported by over 200 other groups, sent a letter to social media platforms such as Discord, Google, Instagram, Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, Rumble, Snap, TikTok, Twitch, X, and YouTube, demanding that the companies make “distinct interventions to keep online platforms safe and healthy in 2024.”

These requested “interventions” amount to little more than widespread censorship.  The group is asking the platforms to enact “election-integrity policies,” “swiftly enforce rules against election lies and hate in political advertising,” “require disclosure of AI-generated political content,” “place greater friction to reduce the visibility and easy distribution of election-related content that has been flagged and is awaiting review,” “hold influencer, public figure and political candidate accounts to the same moderation and enforcement standards as everyone else,” and “improve transparency and enable civil-society oversight of enforcement practices by regularly sharing virality and enforcement reports.”

According to the Media Research Center (MRC), Soros has invested over $80 million between 2016 and 2022 in at least 45 of the groups co-signing this letter. The largest recipient from Soros is Global Witness, an organization focusing on justice for communities disproportionately affected by climate change, which received funding of about $20 million. Another notable recipient is the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which has attracted more than $3 million from Soros from 2017 to 2022.

“One of the wealthiest men in the world is using his vast wealth and power to silence regular Americans ahead of the 2024 election,” said Dan Schneider, MRC’s Free Speech America vice president. “At a time when defending free speech is key, leftists are trying their best to shut down the voices of half of America, especially those who disagree with the radical agenda promoted by Biden, Soros, and most Big Tech executives.”

Biden Ducks Official Debates, Wants 2 Instead of 3, Controlled by Friendly Media, Demands Earlier Schedule.

Joe Biden took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand two, not three, presidential debates and hope to shift them forward in the calendar year—seemingly so he has time to recover from an expected poor performance before election day.

The Biden campaign even sent a formal letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, stating that Biden would not be participating in the organization’s debates. Instead, Biden’s team proposed debates in June and September, conducted under an umbrella of corporate-left news organizations, with a scheduled vice-presidential debate in July.

In a brief and heavily edited message, Biden said to Trump: “Make my day, pal,” claiming he would “even” debate “twice.” But the “twice” debate challenge actually appears to mean fewer debates, with the Commission on Presidential Debates usually organizing three moments in autumn.

The full letter from the Biden campaign to the Commission on Presidential Debates is included in the Editor’s Notes section below.

Trump responded, in a message sent to Fox News’s Brooke Singman:

Trump also added, on Truth Social:

Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced – He can’t put two sentences together! Crooked is also the WORST President in the history of the United States, by far. It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to “Catch on Fire.” I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds – That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!”

RFK Jr. Qualifies for Texas Ballot.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has successfully qualified to be included on the ballot in Texas, adding to his campaign’s expanding list of states. Kennedy’s campaign announced this achievement Monday, citing a collection of almost 250,000 signatures in the course of two months. Texas has one of the nation’s most stringent ballot access requirements, making this a notable win for Kennedy’s team.

Kennedy has secured a place on the ballot in several other states, including Utah, Michigan, California, Delaware, and Oklahoma. Furthermore, his campaign insists it has amassed sufficient signatures for inclusion in New Hampshire, Nevada, Hawaii, North Carolina, Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, and Ohio.

In the broader context of the race, RealClearPolitics reports that Kennedy’s support averages at 10.8 percent in a five-way competition, including former President Donald Trump, Joe Biden, independent candidate Cornel West, and Jill Stein of the Green Party.

Despite some success with gaining ballot qualifications, the campaign of the independent candidate and Kennedy family scion has not been without controversy. Kennedy was forced to flip-flop recently after saying he was in favor of abortions up until the moment of birth. Earlier this month it was reported that his campaign may be intentionally deceiving voters in order to gain ballot access.

Biden Leans On Obama, Clooney, Roberts, and Clintons for Fundraisers.

Joe Biden is hosting a fundraiser in Los Angeles next month, featuring guest appearances from former President Barack Obama and Hollywood celebrities, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

The event follows the New York function hosted by Biden, Obama, and former President Bill Clinton, which raised $26 million in late March.

Simultaneously, plans are being made for another notable East Coast event early this summer involving Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Despite the Republican’s recent initiatives, the Biden campaign reports maintaining a cash advantage, allowing it to fortify its groundwork in critical battleground states and expand its personnel. Yet campaign finance trends indicate that Trump’s fundraising advancements may challenge Biden’s financial advantage, potentially reshaping the 2024 presidential race landscape.

Paul Manafort Rules Out Return.

Republican strategist and 2016 Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has announced that he is stepping back from an advisory role to the Republican Party regarding the nominating convention. This move follows media reports questioning his involvement in the convention’s planning process. Manafort had reportedly been in Milwaukee during a convention planning meeting but is now distancing himself following media scrutiny about his work connections to foreign officials and businesses.

In a statement, he noted that his almost 50 years of experience in managing presidential conventions inspired him to volunteer his advice to the Trump campaign. Manafort continued, “Yet it appears that the media is more interested in rehashing old news to potentially damage President Trump and his campaign instead of focusing on current affairs, and I refuse to be their pawn.”

The experienced strategist had been instrumental in discouraging efforts to prevent Trump’s nomination in the 2016 convention. He later faced convictions for financial crimes and ultimately received a presidential pardon from Trump.

WATCH: James Carville Rages at Trump’s Success, Slams Biden Strategy: ‘It’s Not Working.’

Prominent political strategist James Carville openly expressed his concern over Donald Trump’s strengthening position and the Democratic party’s ineffective strategies. Carville warned that the Democrats’ unfocused approach is failing and voiced the need for new ways to approach the current political climate.

“Trump’s more ahead than he’s ever been,” Carville said. “It’s going the wrong way. It’s not working. Everything we’re that throwing is spaghetti at a wall, and none of it is sticking, me included,” he continued.

Despite his role in guiding former President Bill Clinton to victory in the 1992 presidential election, Carville admitted his disappointment and remarked, “The opinion I’ve come to is that I don’t matter.” Despite all his efforts, he confessed that no one seems to be listening to him. “It doesn’t matter. You can prepare, and you can be on TV, you can write pieces, you can have a YouTube channel, you can have a podcast, and nothing, nothing!” Carville said.

Other prominent figures in the media have echoed Carville’s inability to comprehend Trump’s resurgence. A recent PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll revealed that more Americans perceive Joe Biden as a threat to America than Trump, bewildering MSNBC commentators.

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo and respected pollster Frank Luntz have also publicly conceded that Trump’s chances of winning the presidency have substantially increased. Cuomo even went so far as to compare Trump’s momentum to that of Barack Obama in 2008, observing, “You know this guy’s gonna win by the way, this guy’s gonna win.”

RFK’s Campaign Appears to Be Deceiving Voters To Gain Ballot Access.

Petition workers for the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. independent presidential campaign appear to be misleading voters in New York City regarding the nature of their signature-gathering efforts. Several New York City residents say they’ve been approached by petitioners who claim to be gathering signatures for getting “independent candidates,” “progressive candidates,” or even “Joe Biden” on the state’s ballot. In actuality, these individuals are working on behalf of Kennedy and not any other candidates.

In one instance, traffic court judge Amy Bernstein was approached by a signature gatherer who had hidden Kennedy‘s name by folding it under the top of the clipboard. He told the judge he was gathering signatures for “independent candidates” to have ballot access. According to Bernstein, the only names visible on the petition were Kennedy‘s slate of electors — whose names would not be recognizable by most individuals.

New York State requires candidates to gather 45,000 signatures for presidential ballot access; the Kennedy campaign says they want to hit at least 100,000 signatures. Submitting signed petitions far above the legal requirement isn’t unusual. However, a large number of signatures are often invalidated, primarily because they are illegible.

Some Kennedy petition gatherers who’ve engaged in deceptive tactics admit they’re being paid by the campaign — or at least a campaign vendor. This suggests a supervisor is instructing them to hide Kennedy‘s name on the petitions, ostensibly to maximize the likelihood that a New York City resident would sign the form.

However, the Kennedy campaign denies having instructed the petitioners to engage in such deceptive tactics. Campaign manager Amaryllis Fox Kennedy — the candidate’s daughter-in-law and former CIA employee — told the New York Times that such deception is “utterly at odds with all of our intensive training and materials.”

‘He’s NOT an Anti-Vaxxer’ – Trump Rips into ‘Democrat Plant’ RFK.

Former President Donald Trump ripped into independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. on Thursday, warning Republicans and Republican-leaning voters that he’s not a conservative and “not an anti-vaxxer,” and is, in fact, a “Democrat ‘plant‘… who’s been put in place to help” Joe Biden get reelected.

“RFK Jr. is a Democrat ‘Plant,’ a Radical Left Liberal who’s been put in place in order to help Crooked Joe Biden, the Worst President in the History of the United States, get Re-Elected,” Trump said in a video posted on Truth Social. “A lot of people think that Junior is a conservative, he’s not. He’s more liberal than anybody running on the Democrat side.”

“For those of you that want to vote because you think he’s an anti-vaxxer, he’s not really an anti-vaxxer, that’s only his political moment. He said it the other night, he’s okay with the vaccine,” said Trump.

In addition to calling out RFK Jr.’s stance on vaccines, Trump also detailed several other positions that illustrate how the independent candidate is “a radical left person.”

‘HE’S RADICAL LEFT.’

“Junior is totally anti-gun; an extreme environmentalist who makes the green new scammers look very conservative by comparison; a big time taxer, he wants to tax you; an open border advocate, he wants those borders to be wide open for more people to come in from prisons and mental institutions, and he’s anti-military, and he’s anti-vet,” Trump said. “He’s an extreme liberal. He’s radical left.”

RFK Jr. said this week that he was in favor of abortion up until the moment of birth. The National Pulse has also reported on unearthed videos of RFK Jr. saying that “there is no such thing as a liberal media” and that “red state people are more likely to murder you.”

While initially seen as a potential spoiler for the Biden campaign, The National Pulse recently reported on a poll showing RFK Jr. taking more votes from Trump. In April, Trump acknowledged the threat RFK Jr. poses to his campaign. Both men will take to the stage at the Libertarian Party conference in Washington, D.C. later this month.
