I’m Voting For Donald Trump Because Judicial Misconduct Is Terrifying [WRN VOICES]

My name is Ed Delgado.

I am an American.

And I will be voting for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America this November. What we have seen today’s guilty verdict in the Trump trial should scare the hell out of every one of us.

This trial, to oversimplify things, was, is, and always will be a joke. To try someone for a misdemeanor that has passed the statute of limitations, to ignore the lies of Michael Cohen – who not only paid off Stormy Daniels on his own but also allegedly stole money from the Trump Organization – to have a judge stack the deck in such an egregious manner of what we will learn soon enough: judicial misconduct is terrifying.

It is terrifying because if this can happen to someone like President Donald Trump, even with all of his resources, what hope do people like you and I have?

Let’s take a little trip down memory lane. In what seems like a lifetime ago in 2016, I wrote an article from a blog called “Right Talk Wisconsin” where I talked about how Donald Trump was a necessary bull in the china shop that is the Republican Party. In that article, I brought up the points that Trump’s boldness to call out topics that Republicans traditionally danced around such as immigration, taking the fight to the Left, and defending what it means to be an American, was not just needed but was imperative.

And let’s be honest, watching a businessman, celebrity, trash-talking what is normally a dull primary was entertaining AF!!!

As the 2016 Republican primaries went on, Trump was not my first pick. In fact, Ted Cruz was my guy. As entertaining as Trump was, as much as he forced other Republicans in that presidential primary to step up their games, and as much as he weaponized the mainstream media and Twitter (which was amazing to see) I saw Cruz as the more of the statesmen I wanted, and Trump as just the shock and awe the Republican Party needed to wake up.

Ultimately Trump won that 2016 primary and admittedly I reluctantly voted for him. Truth be told, I voted more for Mike Pence since Trump was too wild of a variable for me at that time. And if I’m really going to be candid, I didn’t even like the guy.

The next few years were interesting, to say the least. Obstruction of his administration by members of his party. Threats of impeachment before he even took office. The riots and violence during the January 2017 inauguration. The REAL insurrection of May 29, 2020, as violent rioters assaulted the White House.

But Trump is a phenomenon. Because despite all of that, two impeachments, and a ton of fake news (Steele Dossier) Trump did such an amazing job that even doubters like myself were impressed. Walking the DMZ from South Korea to North Korea to meet Kim Jong Un, no new wars, the Abraham Accords, and let’s not forget “the best numbers of our lives” as quoted by Jim Cramer.

Now fast forward to the 2020 Election Cycle. What a hot mess that was. Covid. Fauci. NIH. Masks. Vaccines. News Tickers. Shadow Campaigns.

“Wait, what?” you say.

Shadow Campaigns. You mean you didn’t know. Did you think it was some Q-Anon nonsense? Nah-nah!

The interesting thing about the Left is they are narcissists. They either project what they are doing on their opposition OR they spell it out for you, step by step by step. Such was the case in 2020. 2024 will be no different.

Time Magazine online has a very detailed article called, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved The 2020 Election.” Groups of Democrats, business leaders, media leaders, influencers, politicians, and Never Trumpers with the single goal of preventing Trump from being re-elected. Doing so by not breaking laws by the letter but bending them to such an extent they violated the intent and defended their actions through lawfare. Lawfare they continue to use to this very day.

Couple this with the MSM cutting off Trump’s press conferences, the constant running of death numbers on just about all of the news outlets at the height of the COVID pandemic, and the so-called Summer of Love that brought about riots and death across this nation.

I tell you all of this in our little walk down memory lane to get you to think about this. If the Left and the Never Trumpers did all of this over the past eight years, what makes you think they aren’t enacting Shadow Campaign Part 2? We are seeing it play out right in front of our eyes. Except
this time, because of their perceived successes and their fears they may have overplayed their hand, they are more brazen about what they are doing.

More out in the open.

So what do we do now?

I may not have all of the answers, but I do have some.

First and foremost, you do not act like a fool.

“But sir, what do you mean ‘Don’t act the fool?’”

Good question. What I mean is do not get drawn into any traps from the Left. Don’t get into any physical altercations, to make any commentary anywhere (online, supposedly encrypted apps, in the real world) that can be taken as violent. Keep everything legal and above board. Protest, walk
away, do not resist, do not antagonize, yet start firm. What do we do going forward?

The simple answer is: Do what you can.

Donate. If you can donate money to Trump, your candidate of choice, the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Do it. If you can do it to all 3.

Advocate. Every one of us has a sphere of influence, some more than others, but all matter. Talk to your neighbors, your friends, coworkers, bar mates, and social media. Advocate as to WHY you will be voting for Donald Trump. And when you get push back then you push back. You push back because you will make sure to have educated yourselves by reading the news, using your critical thinking skills, and seeking opinions and counterarguments from others. Volunteer. It’s not enough to advocate. Volunteer and join your Republican County Party, Patriot group, Turning Point, Moms for Liberty, AFP, or whatever. Find ways you can help. Door knock, phone bank, write letters to the editor. Every single one of us has a skill set. Learn your skill set and use it. Get involved.

Put Aside Petty Differences. Initially, I wanted to have my first article for Wisconsin Right Now talk about all of the infighting in the Republican/Conservative movement. Perhaps I will do that later. But right now, if you claim to be a Patriot. If you claim to be America First. If you claim to be MAGA. If you claim to be a Republican. If you claim to be a Conservative, right-leaning libertarian. If you claim to love this country and what it once was. You will put aside all of those petty differences and galvanize together so that we do not just get Trump back as president but retain the House and flip the Senate.

Vote. Vote early (Bank Your Vote), vote the day of, and get your friends to vote. Drive people.

Ballot harvest where it is legal, poll watch, whatever. Just get out the vote. I know all politics is local. And for the most part, this is true. Just not this time. Now is the time we stop bashing fellow Republicans and Conservatives and use that same zeal that we have been using the past two to three years fighting each other and directing it outwards toward the Left. There will be time to do that after this election cycle. But first, we have to win elections.

Ultimately, I suppose there is an upside to today’s verdict in the Trump trial. Should Trump win, Biden, Obama, Clinton (both of them), and Bush could all be charged with… pick your crimes since that is what we are doing these days. But is that a nation you want to live in? Political prosecutions of your political opponents? Not a world I want to live in. Yet, it is the world we live in as the Left has perverted and bastardized the judicial system with its political persecution of Donald Trump. And make no mistake about it. The case against Trump by the SDNY is just the beginning. There are more. This is after all lawfare. As strange as it seems, the Left has forced the body politic of America to make a choice.

We all have eyes. We all have brains. Many of us have critical thinking skills, even if they are rudimentary. We all see it for what it is.

My name is Ed Delgado. At the beginning of this 2024 Republican primary, I was all in for Vivek Ramaswamy. Still love that guy to this day. But the writing is on the wall, it has been for some time. I will be voting for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America this November. I urge you to consider the stakes and join me in supporting him.

Considering what is at stake, a second Biden/Harris Administration would secure us as America in Name Only.

Wisconsin Voters More Concerned About Property Taxes Than School Funding

The Center Square -

(The Center Square) – Wisconsin taxpayers are growing in their concern over property taxes, as witnessed by a recent Marquette poll showing that 60% of voters are more concerned about reducing property taxes than increasing spending on public schools.

That opinion has shifted over time as 61% of voters were more concerned about funding for schools in Aug. 2018 and polling shifted from favoring funding for schools to being more concerned about property taxes in between late 2022 and mid-2023, according to the poll.

The most recent poll asked questions of 818 Wisconsin registered voters between Feb. 11-19.

The shift comes as state lawmakers continue to debate what the best policy is to spend an expected $2.5 billion surplus at the end of the fiscal year.

Legislative Republicans sent a plan to Gov. Tony Evers that includes $1.5 billion in income tax rebates, $500 million in money for the state's school tax levy credit and $200 million included for special education funding.

Evers said during his State of the State speech that the plan for property tax relief and education spending must balance the two "a heck of a lot better.”

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos acknowledged during a press conference that Evers won’t negotiate on the school funding he approved with a partial veto that Republicans refer to as Evers’ 400-year property tax increase.

Evers used a partial veto and erased numbers and a hyphen to change “2024-25” to “2425” in the budget bill, locking in a $325 per student per year funding increase for 400 years.

That veto was the subject of a Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling approving the move and then legislation and a constitutional amendment proposal to change the governor’s partial veto power since.

Lawmakers Request DOJ Probe Into Whether Somali Fraud and ICE Protests Are Linked

The Center Square -

The U.S. House Oversight Committee is requesting that the Department of Justice investigate whether the Somali welfare fraud and anti-immigration enforcement protests in Minnesota are connected.

In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Republican lawmakers suggested the possibility that there exists “organized efforts to obstruct law enforcement with foreign influences and criminal activities, including fraud.”

“The Committee believes it is imperative to assess whether foreign-sourced funding and/or proceeds of financial crimes, particularly those involving federal funds, may be contributing to, or otherwise exacerbating unrest and efforts to obstruct law enforcement,” the lawmakers, led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., wrote Monday.

Their request for a DOJ briefing on the matter follows President Donald Trump’s previous comments that the Minnesota Somali fraud scandal "is at least partially responsible for the violent organized protests going on in the streets.”

The estimated $9 billion in welfare fraud was uncovered in October, and by December nearly 100 people – including 85 Somali immigrants – faced criminal charges, with dozens pleading guilty.

Among other schemes, fraudsters had falsely claimed children had autism to obtain benefits and enrolled ineligible individuals in food assistance programs.

On Jan. 7, protests in the Twin Cities region erupted after a federal immigration enforcement officer fatally shot a Minnesota resident and American citizen who authorities say attempted to hit agents with her car.

The committee believes the incidents “suggest coordinated or systemic activity” and is urging the DOJ to investigate “whether large-scale financial crimes involving federal funds may contribute to broader public safety or civil order challenges” related to immigration.

“The scale and duration of these schemes have raised concerns regarding whether fraud proceeds are being laundered or otherwise routed through nonprofit or organizational entities in ways that evade oversight,” lawmakers wrote. “As much of this fraud has disproportionally involved Minnesota’s immigrant community, targeted enforcement operations by ICE play a key role in stopping this systemic corruption.”

Fraudsters have taken advantage of Medicaid-funded services through Minnesota Department of Human Services programs for years, particularly targeting COVID-19 era programs, The Center Square reported.

In light of the newest revelations, Republicans have accused state officials of suppressing fraud reports and punishing whistleblowers, which Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has denied.

Gov. Tim Walz recently unveiled his “comprehensive anti-fraud package,” but only after the Trump administration halted nearly $260 million in Medicaid funds to the state.

DOJ Indicts 30 More in St. Paul Church Protest Case

The Center Square -

Dozens have now been indicted on federal charges related to a protest that disrupted a Jan. 18 church service in St. Paul.

U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced another round of arrests following the release of an indictment charging 30 additional people.

“YOU CANNOT ATTACK A HOUSE OF WORSHIP. If you do so, you cannot hide from us — we will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you,” Bondi said in a statement on social media. “This Department of Justice STANDS for Christians and all Americans of faith.”

This comes following widespread calls for arrests in the wake of the protest, which quickly captured attention far beyond Minnesota. The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the protest, which was organized in part by members of Black Lives Matter Minnesota.

Video posted by the group shows protesters chanting “ICE out” and “justice for Renee Good” during the Sunday morning service at Cities Church. Another video circulating on social media shows Kelly calling congregants “pretend Christians” and “comfortable white people.”

Caleb Phillips, a congregant at the church, told The Center Square in an exclusive interview that the protestors were seated throughout the congregation before the service began.

“The entire congregation came alive. Individuals who are planted from front to back throughout the entire place stood up,” Phillips said. “It felt like we were surrounded, because they were all throughout the congregation.”

Reports allege the protesters discovered one of the church’s pastors works for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, calling the protest a “clandestine mission.”

The church protest came in the wake of the Jan. 7 killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during an encounter with ICE officers conducting enhanced immigration enforcement.

Journalist Don Lemon, a former CNN anchor who was inside the church covering the protest, is one of the most high-profile arrests made in conjunction with the protest. At the time, he defended the protestors.

“I imagine it’s uncomfortable and traumatic for the people here,” Lemon said during a livestream of the protest at service. “But, that’s what protesting is about.”

Lemon joined others who were indicted by a federal grand jury in Minnesota in January on two counts:

• conspiracy against right of religious freedom at a place of worship

• and injure, intimidate, and interfere with exercise of the right of religious freedom at a place of worship

Those charges stem from the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act of 1994, which prohibits obstruction or threats at abortion clinics and places of worship.

When Bondi made the announcement on Friday, 25 of the 30 had already been arrested, while more were expected to come throughout the day. That brings the total to 39 people who have been arrested for their part in the protest.

True North Legal Director of Litigation Doug Wardlow, the firm representing Cities Church, released a statement applauding the arrests.

“The indictment . . . sends a clear message: houses of worship are off limits for those who would use chaos and intimidation to advance a political agenda,” Wardlow said. “Cities Church is grateful for the Department of Justice’s continued commitment to enforcing federal law to protect churches and other places of worship. The Department’s aggressive prosecution of this case affirms a foundational principle: in the United States, the sanctuary remains a sanctuary.”
