Why Did RFK Drop $24K Into Gamestop Shares?

Independent U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. revealed on Tuesday that he invested $24,000 in the meme stock GameStop as a gesture of solidarity with the retail investor rebellion against Wall Street. “My administration will support the Ape retail rebellion and enact aggressive Wall Street reforms,” Kennedy wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). He added: “To match action with words, I just invested $24,000 in GameStop.”

Retail investors, who refer to themselves as “apes,” played a significant role in the 2021 stock rallies of GameStop and AMC, a movie theater chain. These investors were motivated to counteract Wall Street analysts’ negative outlooks regarding those companies’ prospects. Coordinating through social media and internet message boards, the “apes” were able to pump the value of the two companies and wreak havoc among institutional investors.

Last week, interest in the meme stock phenomenon was sparked again when “Roaring Kitty,” a central figure in the 2021 GameStop frenzy, returned to online platforms after a long hiatus. Kennedy is actively seeking to attract undecided voters by appealing to anti-establishment meme stock investors.

On the campaign trail, Kennedy has made conflicting statements regarding his interest in alternative investments. In July 2023, he stated that he had not invested in Bitcoin despite financial records indicating he owned at least $100,000 worth of the cryptocurrency.

In response to Kennedy’s announcement, former President Donald J. Trump‘s campaign declared that it would now accept cryptocurrency donations, also aiming to attract votes from investors disillusioned with the traditional financial system. The Trump campaign said in a statement, “Today’s announcement reflects President Trump’s commitment to an agenda that values freedom over socialistic government control.”

Hacked Primary Ballot Unveils MASSIVE Security Flaw in Texas Elections.

A lawsuit filed in Texas alleges that a “willful and systematic disregard of election laws” has allowed a breach in ballot secrecy, impacting most of the state’s voters. The lawsuit, filed by Dr. Laura Pressley and several other voters, contends that the state, in failing to comply with its own election rules, has created a security flaw that allows anyone to reverse engineer for whom a voter cast their ballot.

According to Dr. Pressley’s lawsuit, public information paired with specific data mining techniques can reveal voter choices. Hacking a ballot is accomplished through an algorithm that can decrypt the randomized ID numbers assigned to voters. While the randomized ID numbers are only used by some of the electronic voting machines in the state, they appear to be used prevalently in the state’s most populous counties. Texas state election law, however, actually stipulates that voter ID numbers must be consecutively numbered.

GOP CHAIRMAN’S HACKED BALLOT. 

The ballot security flaw was recently used by the independent Texas news outlet Current Revolt to expose for which candidates for office Matt Rinaldi, the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas (RPT), voted during the state’s Super Tuesday 2024 primary election. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Rinaldi claimed he voted for former President Donald J. Trump in the March primary. However, the ballot copy acquired by Current Revolt shows that he voted for Governor Ron DeSantis. The Florida Governor dropped out of the Republican presidential primary race weeks before the Texas primary.

Experts such as Dr. Walter Daugherity from Texas A&M University have verified a repetitive pattern in the random number generation used to assign ballots, adding credibility to Dr. Pressley’s claims. The process — detailed in the lawsuit — shows how unique ballot numbers can be linked back to individual voters, making ballot secrecy an illusion.

Nikki Haley Staffer Confirms Convention Coup Plot Against Trump.

Former South Carolina Governor Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley appears to be plotting a coup to seize the Republican presidential nomination from former President Donald J. Trump by forcing a brokered Republican National Convention in mid-July. Haley has continued to court donor support despite suspending her presidential primary campaign in March.

Social media posts from Mitti Randhawa, Haley‘s brother, have added fuel to speculation that the former South Carolina Governor may attempt a floor revolt similar to the one spearheaded by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) during the 2016 Republican convention. On Wednesday, investigative journalist Laura Loomer reported that the Trump campaign had contacted Haley’s team regarding Randhawa’s social media posts. According to Loomer, a Haley staffer only replied snarkily, stating, “I’m sure the Trump family has done the same to Nikki Haley.”

This past Sunday, Randhawa posted a photo of himself and his sister on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “The support is real! Nikki Haley for President! Milwaukee, here we come!” Loomer responded to Haley’s brother asking him if the former Republican presidential candidate is “planning a coup against Trump at the convention?”

“Yup, what the actual hell! Deal with it. It’s happening Sis!” Randhawa replied before adding: “There is a movement, a serious movement, and you and your minions cannot deny it.”

Randhawa’s comments appear to confirm concerns among national Republican leaders that Haley intends to attempt to sabotage the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump. The National Pulse reported that Haley met with a group of former campaign donors in Charleston, South Carolina, on May 10. According to Haley, the event was ostensibly to express her gratitude to donors. However, having not formally endorsed Trump, there are fears that Haley may have used the meeting to pitch her anti-Trump backers on a plan to cause chaos at the convention.

BREAKING: Why Biden Won’t be On Ohio Ballot.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) announced that Joe Biden will not appear on the 2024 Ohio presidential ballot unless the state legislature acts to change current state election law or the state’s Democratic Party changes its rules. “I’ve said from here to Colorado that it’s in the best interest of voters to have a choice in the race for president,” LaRose said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday night. He continued: “I’m also duty-bound to follow the law as Ohio’s chief elections officer.”

“As it stands today, the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee will not be on the Ohio ballot. That is not my choice. It’s due to a conflict in the law created by the party, and the party has so far offered no legally acceptable remedy,” the state’s top election official said, confirming the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent failed to meet the state’s ballot requirements.

LaRose reiterated that he’s contacted the Ohio Democratic Party chairman to find an equitable solution. The Ohio House Speaker announced on Tuesday the state legislature would not return for a special session to address the issue.

The Biden campaign‘s Ohio ballot issue arises from a calendar conflict. Ohio election law stipulates August 7 as the deadline for certifying candidates for the state’s election ballot. However, Biden won’t be formally named the Democratic nominee and certified as its candidate until August 19 at the Democratic National Convention. LaRose stressed that the national Democratic Party will need to change the date on which they certify their nominee to comply with his state’s election law.

Billionaire Trump Donor Dumps ANOTHER $5M Into RFK Campaign.

Billionaire donor Timothy Mellon has injected another $5 million into Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s campaign. According to newly disclosed campaign finance records, the sizable donation was made in April to American Values 2024, a SuperPAC supporting Kennedy.

The move will likely fuel speculation that Mellon’s contributions aim to divert votes away from Joe Biden to benefit former President Donald J. Trump. Mellon, a prominent supporter of Trump, previously contributed $20 million to American Values 2024 and $15 million to the Trump-affiliated Make America Great Again Inc. His latest donation points to continued involvement in shaping the political landscape ahead of November’s presidential election.

Recent polls indicate that Kennedy draws support from both major party candidates. The independent candidate has notable backing from young voters and Latinos, traditionally Democratic-leaning groups. However, pro-Kennedy voter demographics vary from state to state. Some data suggest the independent candidate pulls from former President Trump‘s base in several key swing states.

Mellon, 81, is an heir to a banking and industrial fortune estimated at $14 billion by Forbes. Based in Wyoming, he has funded national causes, including a proposed border wall in Texas in 2021. Federal election data suggests that Mellon has doled out over $150 million to various political causes and campaigns over the past several election cycles.

“Donald Trump’s largest donor emptying his wallet to help RFK Jr.’s candidacy tells us everything we need to know,” a spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee told the far-left website The Daily Beast regarding Mellon’s donation to Kennedy. He added: “MAGA Republicans are hellbent on propping up RFK Jr. to be a spoiler for Trump in this race.”

GOP Pushes Strict New Anti-Illegal Ballot Measure.

Arizona Republicans are eyeing a ballot measure aimed at making illegal immigration unlawful under state law. State Republican leaders hope the move will galvanize their base ahead of the November elections. Arizona Democrats, meanwhile, are pushing a ballot measure that would expand abortion rights in the state with the same aim of boosting their party base’s turnout.

The state Senate is expected to vote Wednesday on the proposal, which has already cleared the House and must secure the support of all 16 GOP senators to advance to the ballot. Inspired by Texas‘ SB 4 and Arizona’s own 2010 SB 1070, the measure, however, faces some opposition from within the Republican Party.

An amendment addressing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program recipients has divided GOP senators. State Sen. Ken Bennett (R) has voiced opposition due to its implications for DACA recipients, raising uncertainty about whether the Republicans have the necessary votes for passage.

If the measure advances, it could serve as a focal point to motivate Republican voter turnout, similar to how the anticipated ballot amendment on abortion rights is expected to energize Democratic voters. Republican political consultant Chuck Coughlin emphasized the strategic intent to tap into public frustration over immigration to drive dissatisfied voters to the polls. Democrats in the state legislature, however, are blasting the move.

“Republicans know they are losing on abortion, so they decided to at the last minute change the rules to put this incredibly egregious anti-immigrant ballot measure up for a vote to be sent to the voters,” state Representative Analise Hernandez (D) said in a post on the Chinese–controlled social media app, TikTok.

Trumps Fundraising Figures Freaks Out the Far Left.

For the first time in the 2024 presidential election cycle, former President Donald J. Trump outraised his opponent, 81-year-old Democrat incumbent Joe Biden. The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced they raised an impressive $76 million in April. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and several aligned PACs raised just $51 million over the same period.

The figures for both political parties are based on public data provided by both presidential campaigns. Official figures won’t be confirmed until July, when both campaigns must file quarterly financial records with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The boost in Trump’s fundraising, however, suggests that the ongoing Democratic lawfare campaign against the former President is having an impact on the election — just not the effect that Biden and the Democrats had hoped.

April also marked the RNC‘s most successful month of the year, with an estimated $32 million raised. The DNC, however, narrowly outperformed them — raising an estimated $35 million. The Trump presidential campaign committee alone — excluding the national party committee and affiliated PACs — raised $9.4 million in April, according to FEC filings. Meanwhile, Biden’s campaign committee pulled in $24.2 million.

Trump’s financial gains in April coincided with a major fundraising event at Wall Street veteran John Paulson’s home in Florida. The event, benefiting Trump‘s joint fundraising committee, Trump 47, and other Republican entities, raised over $50 million. Paulson is widely considered a contender for the position of Treasury Secretary should former President Trump win the November election.

‘Khallas!’ Arab American Leaders Declare Blinken Meeting a Failure.

A lengthy Friday night meeting between Joe Biden‘s Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Arab American leaders proved less than productive for the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent’s efforts to shore up the critical voter demographic. The representatives from the Arab American community, a critical voter block in the presidential election battleground state of Michigan, ended with the community leaders expressing their continued dissatisfaction with the Biden government’s handling of U.S.-Israel policy.

Warren David, president of Arab America — a national media organization covering the Arab world — expressed the community’s frustration, stating there is little the Biden government could do to mend its deteriorating relationship with Arab Americans. “In Arabic, we say ‘khallas,'” David said in a recent interview with NOTUS. “Khallas” roughly translates to “finished, enough” or “done.” David attended the meeting alongside nearly a dozen representatives from six Arab American organizations.

ARAB AMERICAN AGENDA.

The leaders presented Blinken with their long-standing demands, collectively called the “Arab American Agenda.” These include an immediate ceasefire, the return of all hostages, a complete Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza, and unimpeded humanitarian assistance to Palestinians. The community has championed these points for months amid continued U.S. support for Israel’s military actions against the Hamas terrorist group.

Despite the meeting extending beyond its planned 45 minutes, participants left feeling their concerns were inadequately addressed. “He said, ‘Thank you, I understand where you’re coming from,'” David said of the meeting with Blinken. He added: “He just kind of left it at, he will, you know, take into consideration what we said.”

The Biden campaign has scrambled to shore up support among Arab and Muslim American voters in Michigan before November’s presidential election. The critical voting bloc, in part, turned out against the Democrat incumbent during the state’s primary election, setting off alarm bells among national Democrats.

Biden Thinks He Was VP During COVID.

Joe Biden appeared to insinuate that he was serving as Vice President of the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, marking the latest moment of confusion for the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent. Biden’s claim — which came during a Sunday address at the NAACP’s Freedom Fund Dinner in Detroit, Michigan — has renewed concerns that he may be suffering from cognitive decline and is mentally unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.

“When I was vice president, things were kinda bad during the pandemic,” he said, causing confusion among the dinner attendees. The octogenarian Democrat continued: “And what happened was Barack [Obama] said to me, ‘Go to Detroit and help fix it.’ Well, poor Mayor, he spent more time with me than he ever thought he was going to have to, God love you.” It appears Biden may have confused his role as Vice President to Barack Obama in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis with the 2019 pandemic when he was not in office.

BIDEN’S COGNITIVE STRUGGLES.

Biden has increasingly displayed moments of confusion as the 2024 presidential election cycle begins in earnest. In early February, the Democrat incumbent — when angrily responding to allegations of cognitive decline made by special counsel Robert Hur — confused the presidents of Mexico and Egypt. He also insinuated that Mexico borders the Gaza territory in the Middle East.

In mid-April, Biden told the press that his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was shot down during World War II and eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea. In reality, the plane Finnegan was a passenger on suffered mechanical failure and crashed just off the island’s coast.

Additionally, Representative Greg Murphy (R-NC) is alleging he has evidence that Biden was given a performance-enhancing substance before delivering his State of the Union Address on March 7, 2024. This has prompted the Trump campaign to request Biden take a drug test before an upcoming June presidential debate.

Trump Accepts FOURTH Presidential Debate Invite.

Former President Donald J. Trump has now accepted a fourth presidential debate invitation. Additionally, Trump challenged Joe Biden’s vice-presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, to debate his eventual running mate at Virginia State University in August.

Late on Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that he had agreed to attend a 2024 presidential debate hosted by NBC and the Spanish-language network Telemundo prior to the November election. Earlier this week, Trump accepted a third debate invitation from Fox News. Trump’s 81-year-old Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, has thus far only agreed to two debates — hosted by CNN and ABC, respectively.

Trump and Biden abandoned the three presidential debates governed by the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) after Biden challenged Trump to two independent contests. The former Republican President quickly accepted the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent’s challenge — agreeing to both debates.

The former President agreed to a third debate with Fox News, challenging Biden to attend as well. The Biden campaign, however, has stated it will not appear on the network, claiming Fox News does not meet its debate criteria. Despite NBC not making the Biden campaign’s preferred debate host list, Telemundo is included. It is unclear whether Biden will accept the invitation as of late Friday.

Former President Trump has pushed for earlier and more frequent presidential debates. However, the CPD rejected his demand that the organization move up its debate timeline. Earlier on Friday, Frank Fahrenkopf, co-chairman of the CPD, said he believes Donald Trump “got rolled” by Joe Biden‘s camp when he agreed to just two presidential debates, earlier than usual in the election cycle and organized by leftist networks.
