The “Stop Nick Shirley Act” Shows Us Who the Fascists Truly Are
The enemies of America are proving once again that they have no values and do not believe in human rights. Counting on the left to do the opposite of what is good and moral has become somewhat of an institution, so this latest affront should take no one aback. Recently, we’ve seen a surge of citizen journalism, people who expose the truth when the legacy media and politicians refuse to. This is an immense threat to the left, since lies and fraud are what they depend upon to reach and retain power. We have people out there like James O’Keefe and more recently, Nick Shirley asking questions and exposing all kinds of foul play. The natural reaction to that exposure should be to punish those perpetrating the fraud, but not in far-left California. The left, who consistently does the opposite of what is good and moral, is going after those exposing fraud rather than those committing it. In fact, they are trying to protect those people cheating America out of their hard-earned money. A California assemblywoman named Mia Bonta has introduced the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” If passed, it would allow fraudsters to be entitled to even more money (to the tune of $4000) while simultaneously criminalizing Nick Shirley and others exercising their First Amendment rights.
The left should not be lecturing anyone about fascism. They don’t know what it is. If they did, they’d realize the irony and hypocrisy. They are the ones preventing conservative speakers from talking. They are the ones doxxing ICE agents and trying to bring harm to their families. They are the ones trying to kill our people. They are the ones blocking roads and streets. They are the ones demonstrating how the First Amendment ought only to apply to people they like. Fascism is just their latest buzz word, since racism no longer has any meaning. Every time they make the claim of fascism, they are merely spouting the words of the media and politicians like the parrots they are. If they want to see fascism in action, they need to look no further than this bill.
Tax Day - the Left’s Favorite Holiday
The left’s favorite day of the year is finally here. April 15. Tax Day. The day the government legally gets to steal the money of hard-working Americans. And for what? To fund fraud? To protect fraudsters and punish those exposing it? Funding public schools, which are full of left-wing indoctrination? Wealthy universities endowments to push socialist agendas? Public housing for those who haven’t earned it? Cell phones, new sneakers, and healthcare for illegal aliens? The list is endless. Who pays for all this? You do. Government programs have ballooned since 1776, and that’s not a good thing. Ronald Reagan once said, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear.” He also said of government programs that they are “the closest thing to eternal life that we’ll ever see on this earth.” He was right on both counts.

Trust Trump, Just Not His Endorsements
When it comes to President Trump, he’s absolutely been a net positive for this country. The America First initiatives, closing of the border, deportation of illegal aliens, revitalization of our military (taking the woke out of it and record recruiting), and protection of the homeland from our enemies have all been spot on. However, the man isn’t perfect, and unlike the left, who have no diversity of thought (some might call that a cult), we here on the right know how to call a spade a spade. It isn’t unhealthy to have debate within our own party, quite the opposite in fact. One area in which the president has left something to be desired is in his endorsements.
Yesterday, President Trump wrote the following on Truth Social: “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the worst Congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie, of the great commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
So much to dissect there. First of all, President Trump does not know Mark Lynch. They never met. Mark Lynch is a principled conservative, a family man, a man of God, and the exact right fit for the people of South Carolina, whose citizens (not necessarily their representation) are quite conservative. Lindsey Graham can make none of those same claims. His conservative voting record is 57% lifetime. Barely over the line from being a Democrat. He supports war, amnesty, USAID, and stabs Trump in the back regularly. (For more on this, see “Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham” from 4/8/26.) Lindsey Graham has no family. He is not a man of God by any means. Recently, he took a trip to Disney World, where he was seen holding a magic wand. Real beta stuff. Many are wondering if he has the dress to match the wand. Does he have nothing better to do during a government shutdown?
Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham
The South Carolina so-called “Republican” shills keep outing themselves. These establishment types, who do not care about regular people, think that if they glom on to politicians, they hold some kind of moral high ground. It is quite the opposite. Even worse, they talk down to others, especially those who call them out for what they are. They know politicians, so they know more than you. “I know people, you don’t.” They are the ones with an ear to the inside, you are not. That type of attitude is rampant among these people, and it makes grass roots patriots like myself sick.
Putting this into context, I have been very vocal in my aversion to Lindsey Graham and my desire to see him thrown out of the Senate, a desire shared by an increasingly larger number of South Carolinians. In 2023, while President Trump was on the campaign trail in Pickens County, Lindsey was booed off the stage. He spoke for six minutes, but chants of “traitor” drowned him out. It was glorious, as the people were telling us it is time for a change, and the best part is that Pickens is Graham’s home county. Now, since 2026 is an election year for him, he has conveniently attached himself to President Trump and his agenda once again.
