Donald Trump Earns A Vote In A Way That Only He Can

Donald Trump’s newfound presence on TikTok is earning him votes – and not in the way you’d expect.

TikTok user Jake Applebam posted a screenshot of his conversation with his girlfriend, who refused to vote for the former president in November’s presidential election.

Jake asked his girlfriend how many “likes” he would need to secure on his post in order for his girlfriend to vote for the Republican.

“200k likes minimum and Trump has to [leave a] comment,” she replied.

And to that he said “challenge accepted.”

Despite having only 24,000 followers on the social media platform for his pro-Trump account, the post in question amassed more than 1.6 million likes, with almost 30,000 comments at the time of writing.

As the post began to top 200k likes, Applebam’s girlfriend was confident that despite the attention, there was no way Trump would comment on the post.

But that didn’t last long, as Trump then posted “MAGA” in response to the video. Trump’s comment alone amassed tens of thousands of likes too.

The exchange was later shared onto X, proving popular with supporters of the former president.

Others were less convinced by her commitment, believing she would still vote for President Joe Biden later this year.

Either way, she joins a growing number of Democrats who are disgruntled with the current administration. On Monday, June 10, Biden’s approval rating dipped to 37.6% – his lowest approval of his four-year term thus far.

Trump continues to lead Biden in most polls, with the latter’s re-election chances seemingly diminishing by the day. The incumbent also faces the challenge of losing votes to former Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent with a small but significant support base.

The Biden Economy Is Creating Zero Jobs for Native Born Americans

A graph detailing the difference in job creation between natural-born U.S. citizens and immigrants (both legal and illegal) prompted widespread debate over the weekend.

The X account @zerohedge shared an infographic on Friday, June 7 breaking down U.S. job creating by immigration status, showing that “most job creation in the past year” had gone to illegal aliens, which have poured over the border at a record pace during the Biden presidency.

An interesting aspect of the graph is how the two statistics compared under Joe Biden’s Presidency and that of Donald Trump’s. While relative job creation between the native vs. foreign born groups was largely similar under the previous administration, the disparity exploded once Biden took office in January 2021. As such, due to how lopsided the Biden so-called economic recovery has been, it’s now the case that since July 2018, there have been zero jobs created for native born Americans.

While the graph in question compared natural-born citizens with legal immigrants, rather than just illegal aliens, it did nevertheless raise questions as to why American citizens were seeing less job creation opportunities than those arriving from overseas.

The President has long supported a Woke approach to immigration, with one of his first actions being to replace the term “alien” with “noncitizen” – and dismantle the Trump immigration agenda via executive order.

Since assuming office, Biden has come under consistent criticism for his handling of the border crisis. He initially refused to continue construction of the border wall, and has taken a more open doors approach to immigration, but has since tried to make it look like he’s reneging on these policies with an upcoming presidential election looming.  

That said, it’s hard to argue that the damage hasn’t already been done. Americans, particularly in border states, are outraged over the current immigration crisis, and many can see through the President’s last ditch efforts to appear tough on immigration ahead of his electoral showdown in November.

Republican Rep. Maria Salazar Pushes Amnesty by Another Name

GOP Representative Maria Salazar of Florida’s 24th Congressional District is pushing a new immigration bill that looks just like another Trojan Horse.

The so-called “Dignity Act of 2023” (the date is not a typo) increases funding for border security and border patrol agents, but at a cost. That cost? Giving 11 million illegal aliens “permanently renewable legal status.” These millions who broke the law will be able work, travel, and do just about everything else legally. Why not reward their criminality even more by just making them citizens?

Daily Caller national correspondent Henry Rogers is skeptical.

Notice something else, too: the framing and naming of the bill. Why is it that even Republicans believe they have to accept the left’s demand to put “marginalized” groups—including illegals—before America’s own interests and citizens? It’s like when alleged conservatives spend 75 percent of their speeches on “of course, we know that anti-black racism is terrible, and must be stopped” rhetoric before they’ll allow themselves to say “boo” about the real widespread and socially accepted racism (bigotry and discrimination against white people).

Some users on Twitter are not at all happy with Salazar’s bill; they’re highlighting what a massive capitulation it is:

Yep.

The idea of blanket amnesty for people who broke the law and jumped the border isn’t going over too well.

Illinois Democratic Rep. Eric Sorensen really likes the bill, though!

The “only” bipartisan solution is total surrender? User KeepTheFaith has some pretty obvious advice.

But as usual, the narrative has been set, and politicians are obviously (literally) reading from a prepared script with approved phrases. Notice anything familiar in this description of the bill from Michigan’s Hillary Scholten?

Again, it’s the “only” way forward.

Wokespy readers: pretend you live in a country where citizen desires mattered to politicians. What would you want to see in an immigration bill? Tell us in the comments!

Donald Trump Is Convicted – And He’s Better Positioned Than Ever to Win in 2024

Thursday, May 30, 2024, will go down as a landmark date in the history of the United States.

Donald Trump’s criminal conviction was arguably expected; staunch MAGA supporters have long suspected him to be the victim of a politically motivated witch hunt, while the former president’s fiercest critics have labelled him guilty for years.

Even still, the guilty verdict was no less shocking when it was announced just after 5pm EST.

What happens in the long run is anyone’s guess, but, importantly, the conviction bares no theoretical impact on Trump’s ability to run for President. He is a natural-born citizen of the United States, has been a resident for at least 14 years, and is over 35 years old. There’s solid evidence that this is benefitting Trump in the immediate term, however, with him seeing a massive 6-point increase in his approval rating after the conviction. In other words, on net basis, Americans are seeing the conviction as resulting from a politically motivated witch hunt.

Additionally, Trump saw donations pour in so fast after the verdict that it crashed WinRed’s website. It’s since been revealed that the Trump campaign shattered a fundraising record, bringing in an incredible $34.8 million. That sure beats the $25 million that Biden brought in for his star-studded fundraiser back in March that included Barack Obama and Bill Clinton that the liberal media celebrated.

The more prudent question is this: how will the Republican nominee’s conviction affect his standing among American voters? The polling before the trial suggested that Biden will carry the youth vote – but by a thin margin that’s historically low for a Democrat. Among those aged 18-24, a group that overwhelmingly votes Democrat, Biden’s support tanked 25 points from being +32 to only +7. It’ll be interesting to track this to see how it changes.

Similarly, other polling pre-pandemic suggests that Trump will garner the largest share of the black vote since Richard Nixon in his blowout victory.

The bookies have Trump as a greater favorite as Biden since the conviction, with Biden now at +168 (meaning someone would need to bet $100 to win $168), while Trump is at -110 (meaning one needs to bet $110 to win $100). Put in percentages, the odds imply Biden has a 37.3% chance of winning the 2024 election, while Trump has a 52.4% chance.

For some, Trump’s conviction will be the final straw, but there doesn’t appear to be many Americans in that boat.

Regardless, insufferable liberals were happy to gloat about what will likely be a short-lived victory.

On the other hand, many have pledged their support for the Republican in light of the jury’s conviction.

And for others, Trump’s conviction has done little to change their minds on the upcoming Presidential Election.

To be fair, people like that were unlikely to have voted for Trump under any circumstances.

Only time will tell if Trump’s conviction changes the race for the White House – but so far it’s looking like a positive.

What’s your view? Has the trial changed how you plan to vote this November, or does it have no effect at all? Let us know in the comments below.

Joe Biden Needs The Black Vote… But It Isn’t Going Well

President Joe Biden’s efforts to secure a large percentage of the Black vote in November’s presidential election isn’t going to plan.

Biden needs support from Black voters in order to win a second successive term in the White House. However, only 62% of Black Americans are “absolutely certain” they will cast their ballot when the country goes to the polls, and those that do intend to vote are increasing their support for Donald Trump. If polling becomes reality, Trump will win a larger share of the black vote than any Republican since Richard Nixon.

Biden is pulling off all the stops to secure the Black vote, even if the supposedly devout Catholic has ceased his daily visits to the local Baptist church. His defiant posts, filled with policy ideas on how he will improve matters for the Black community, have sought to win back the demographic he needs to secure the White House.

The relaunch of Biden’s Black campaign will take time to reap in the effects, particularly given the current disconnect between the President and his disgruntled voters. On Wednesday, May 29, Biden held a rally in Pennsylvania – a key swing state where the winner usually goes on to take the White House.

However, there was a problem. While it’s all well and good campaigning under a Black Voters for Biden/Harris banner, it’s intended impact is limited when attendance is miniscule.

When pictures first emerged at 2pm EST, critics were quick to point out the comparison with Trump’s support in the largely Black Bronx area of New York.

Ultimately, Black Americans are divided over the president, with his campaign seeking to unify Black voters against his Republican rival.

Nevertheless, people engage with pictures over words in today’s digital era. If Biden’s to win the Black vote, he needs to look like he has the support; the scenes from Philadelphia, if Wednesday is to go by, suggests he doesn’t.

Even the Libertarian Party Has Gone Woke

America’s third-largest party has been accused of going woke after choosing Chase Oliver as its Presidential Election nominee.

The Libertarian Party has typically been associated with an emphasis on civil liberties and economic freedom. Its new candidate, however, contradicts these principles.

The 38-year-old has previously expressed support for an open border, while also describing the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests as “peaceful” in his opposition to Atlanta’s Cop City.

A former pro-Obama Democrat, Oliver advocated vaccine and mask mandates during the pandemic, comparing the latter to “wearing a shirt when you enter a gas station.” In addition, he has also focused his efforts on transgender issues, going as far as advocating the participation of men in women’s sports.

Furthermore, in a recent interview, Oliver compared drag queen stories with The Wiggles, claiming that 99% of them were acceptable for children.

The Libertarian Party is currently polling around 1% nationwide. Its nomination process came amid fellow candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seeking an endorsement for their Republican and Independent campaigns respectively.

 

In an amusing bit, Trump mocked Libertarian Party members booing him to their faces. “You should nominate me or at least vote for me,” Trump said to the crowd. “Only do that if you want to win. If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your three percent every four years.”

Ted Cruz Slams Biden Nominee Over Transfer Of Man To Female Prison

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz slammed one of Joe Biden’s judicial nominees at a Senate Judiciary hearing on Wednesday, May 22.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn has been nominated by the President to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, prompting a hearing in front of Senators.

In 2022, Judge Netburn recommended William McCain, who identifies as July Justine Shelby, be housed with female inmates in a federal prison despite being convicted for child rape and possession of child pornography.

“Six-foot-two, biologically a man,” said Sen. Cruz. “A minute ago, you said that when this man decided that he was a she, that you said this individual was quote, I wrote it down, ‘sober and entirely a female.'”

“That phrase struck me as remarkable. Did this individual have male genitalia?” asked Cruz. “Do they have the right not to have a six-foot-two man who is a repeat serial rapist put in as their cellmate?”

In response, Judge Netburn said she “consider[s] the facts presented to me, and I reached a decision”, adding that inmates have the right “to be safe in their space”.

Echoing fellow Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana, Sen. Cruz labelled Netburn as “a political activist”.

“What I’m saying right now, that if you put this person in a female prison, there will be a risk of sexual assault to the women. And you know what you did? You said you didn’t care about the women. I’m going to quote what you wrote. You wrote, quote, the Bureau of Prisons claimed penal logical interest in protecting female prisoners from sexual violence and trauma. This interest is legitimate,” responded Cruz.

Following a heated argument with Democrat chair Laphonza Butler, Cruz added: “[Netburn] has an obligation to explain why she directly contradicted what she wrote in her report. She says in her report, the Bureau of Prisons claim technological interest is in protecting female prisoners from sexual violence and trauma. She just told you the Bureau of Prisons didn’t say there was a concern about sexual violence and trauma. Those are directly contradictory.”

Illegal Immigrant “Immediately Becomes A Republican” After Crossing Border

A Turkish illegal immigrant who paid $10,000 to a cartel to cross the border has said Americans are “right” to be deeply concerned over illegal immigration.

In an interview with Fox News, the migrant said he had seen no security or background checks when crossing the border.

“American people [are] right – completely true,” he told Fox correspondent Bill Melugin in San Diego. “Who comes into this country? They don’t know. Okay, I’m good, but how do [Americans] know if they’re not good.”

“How [about] if they’re killers, psychopaths, or else? No guarantee of that.”

Security of the border has come under deep scrutiny under the Biden administration. In an April 2024 poll, only 20% of Americans believed the U.S. has “control over its borders”.

Questions were asked by social media users as to how the man had $10,000 cash yet was not able to go through the U.S. visa application system.

Others comically noted how his criticism of border security would make him a voter for Donald Trump in November.

Illegal Alien Sparks Outrage Online After Complaining U.S. Isn’t Giving Them Enough Free Stuff

A so-called “migrant” (the new politically correct term for “illegal alien”) from the Dominican Republic has spoken of her “traumatic” experience in upstate New York where she is currently receiving free food and rent.

Yaniry Pena and her family left the Dominican Republic in 2023, taking a month and a half to travel from El Salvador to Mexico before crossing the border into Texas. Upon arrival in the United States, she was enlisted in a housing program. While initially being based in a downtown hotel, Pena was relocated into an apartment complex in Rochester.

Speaking to News10NBC, Pena complained of the condition of her apartment complex which did not have gas nor power. She also claimed her fridge was filled with either tiny worms or feces until it was replaced.

Despite being in the United States for more than a year, Pena is yet to secure a work permit.

Social media users were critical of her complaints, highlighting the issues veterans face upon leaving the armed forces.

Others noted that migration is a difficult issue for all, adding that hiccups are part of the process in becoming an American citizen.

Bernie Sanders Says There’s a “Health Crisis” Due To Lack Of Diversity in Doctors

Sen. Bernie Sanders has claimed that Americans from minority groups are facing a “health crisis” due to the lack of non-White doctors in the country. Apparently white doctors suddenly lose all competence when taking care of non-white patients in the eyes of Sanders.

The Vermont Senator and chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee called for a greater proportion of Black, Latino and Native American doctors, arguing that it would improve “health outcomes” for such groups.

“They’re more likely to receive preventative services; they’re more satisfied with their care; and they’re more likely to live longer and happier lives [when cared for by a doctor of their race],” Sen. Sanders claimed. He added that the average life expectancy for Black Americans was five years lower than White Americans, falsely implying that this is due to racism.

The reasoning is bizarre, and Sanders clearly never asked himself the obvious question that if there’s some sort of implicit bias in the medical industry, wouldn’t that also mean non-white doctors treat white people differently, which results in worse outcomes for them? Sanders only cares about racism (and in this case, alleged racism) in one direction, of course.

Sanders received widespread criticism for his remarks, with some calling out his “racist” comments, which seem to have been his focus in recent months given previous representations on the subject.

Nevertheless, it is hard to argue with the criticism leveraged towards the 82-year-old politician. Medical professionals have a greater sense of liability than most other professions, and so it is critical that the best doctors – regardless of skin color – are employed across the nation.
