Thanks for that report. Glad to hear it. And I hope, and expect, that the Dems will pay for that bond, and more.

Too bad he didn't just show up w/ nickels & dimes!

Oh, sorry. Not a judge, a politically corrupted partisan hack wearing a black robe pretending to believe in Justice.

Truth Social: Trump's DJT stock plummets days after going public

8 hours ago
By Sam Cabral,
BBC News, Washington

Shares of Donald Trump's social media company fell by more than 20% on Monday, less than a week after it began publicly trading under the DJT ticker.

The drop comes after Trump Media & Technology Group reported it had lost nearly $60m (£48m) last year while only bringing in around $4m in revenue.

The price plunge caused the former president's net worth to shrink by $1bn, according to Bloomberg.

Shares had surged last week, giving the company an $11bn valuation.

But experts warned the stock was bound to tumble, as its main product - Truth Social - loses users and burns cash.

The price spike drew comparisons to the pandemic-era "meme stock" mania, when the share prices of companies like GameStop and AMC soared even though basic parts of their businesses, such as revenue, were weak.

Meme stocks are ones that gain sudden popularity on social media, sparking price rises as online investors rush to buy.

On Monday, shares of Trump Media - which makes its money exclusively through advertising on Truth Social - fell $13.30 to $48.66. But they are still up nearly 200% so far this year.

The surge has been driven by small-time investors, at least some of whom appear to be showing support for the former president as his legal troubles, and the bills that accompany them, pile up.

Mr Trump holds a nearly 60% ownership stake in the company and stands to earn a billion-dollar windfall when he cashes out his shares - though he is legally barred from doing so for another six months unless the company's board grants him a waiver.

But these investors are making a bet on a company that, in a special filing on Monday, told the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) it "expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the foreseeable future".

According to the financial filing, Trump Media paid about $40m in interest expenses and $16m in operating losses in 2023.

The company said its management had "substantial doubt" that it "will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due".

Truth Social launched in February 2022, about one year after the former president was banned from Twitter (now X) and Facebook in the aftermath of the violent riot at the US Capitol.

While Mr Trump's accounts on both platforms have since been reinstated, he has continued to use Truth Social as the main avenue for his social media posts.

But his presence on the platform has not helped it gain a broad audience. Estimates from Similarweb show the company has roughly five million active monthly users, far fewer than rivals.

Truth Social has claimed it has about 8.9 million sign-ups, but it has declined to share the commonly disclosed performance metrics that could give shareholders a better sense of its
operations.

Constitutional amendments are being pushed big time this year in states, including states predicted to go for Trump, such as Florida.

Two amendments have been approved that bring out D voters in huge numbers 1) Abortion 2) Recreational MJ. Regardless on ones idea that recreational MJ has zero impact, it does at the ballot box and both issues are being used in for now up to 14 states. In CO recreational MJ helped turn the state from purple to Blue and we know how that has gone for gun rights and conservative agenda/politicians.

The questions are will it cause a larger than normal voter turnout of D who will vote yes for Rec MJ, Yes for abortion and in turn D candidates including POTUS, Governor, and other key political races turning a once clear Red state Blue, similar to CO.

In FL, the courts have approved to allow Recreational Marijuana on the ballot initiatives and the war against Trumps being elected now hits Florida. One of the big sponsors is John Morgan head of the multi billion dollar PI law firm, big MJ supporter for Medical and now Recreational, big D donor.

Florida marijuana amendment OK’d by state Supreme Court Story by Steven Lemongello, Skyler Swisher, Orlando Sentinel

Florida could become yet another state to legalize recreational marijuana after the state Supreme Court determined Monday that the question should go before the voters in November.

If approved with 60% of the vote, the constitutional amendment would allow adults 21 or older to “possess, purchase, or use” up to 3 ounces of marijuana products, as well as legalize marijuana accessories.

It would also allow medical marijuana treatment centers and other state-licensed businesses to “acquire, cultivate, process, manufacture, sell, and distribute such products and accessories.”

The approval comes two years after the court ruled a similar marijuana measure was misleading and struck it from the 2022 ballot.
This time, the court ruled 5-2 that the amendment had a singular purpose and clear language.

Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody had opposed the measure, arguing it shouldn’t be put on the ballot because it would be misleading to voters as she thought it didn’t make clear marijuana is illegal under federal law.

Justices rejected that argument, along with the idea that voters would think the amendment would allow companies to “immediately enter the cannabis market” without a license.

The two dissenters, Justices Renatha Francis and Meredith Sasso, were Gov. Ron DeSantis’ two most recent appointees to the bench. Three other DeSantis appointees voted to allow the ballot measure.

The amendment was backed by Trulieve, the state’s largest medical marijuana producer, which put about $40 million into the campaign to get it on the ballot.

“We look forward to supporting this campaign as it heads to the ballot this fall,” Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers said in a statement, adding the company will also be a strong backer of “the next important phase to educate Floridians on the amendment and secure a yes vote on Amendment 3 this November.”

DeSantis has said he opposes legalization, adding that he doesn’t like the “pungent odor” of marijuana in public spaces. He warned the ballot initiative’s language is too broad to control the smell, but supporters say it allows the Florida Legislature to put limits on outdoor consumption.

Following the ruling, Republican Florida House Speaker Paul Renner also said Monday he didn’t see a “critical need” for legalizing recreational marijuana.

“It looks innocuous,” he said. “But then you start asking yourself, ‘Can you smoke on a child’s playground? Can you smoke in an elevator?’ … The marijuana amendment is overly broad to serve the self-interest of those that are going to grow it and make billions and billions of dollars off of it.”

The justices wrote, however, that the amendment “leaves untouched the Department of Health’s existing authority to ‘issue reasonable regulations.'”

Democratic state Rep. Tom Keen, D-Orlando, praised the ruling on X, formerly known as Twitter. “It’s clear that Floridians wanted legislators to take action to allow adult use of cannabis. Now, Floridians will have the opportunity to make their voices heard.”

What effect the amendment will have on turnout for the general election is unclear, however.

“This would be coming up in the context of a presidential election,” said Gregory Koger, a professor of political science at the University of Miami. “We were already expecting voter turnout to be high, above 60%. That being said, this initiative could bring additional voters to the polls who are more interested in increasing access to marijuana than voting for either one of the two candidates.”

Recreational pot is fully legal in 24 of the 50 states, with 13 others, including Florida, having legalized medicinal marijuana. Five states have decriminalized pot.

A Gallup poll from November showed 68% of Americans thought marijuana should be legal.

In Florida, where medicinal pot was legalized in 2016 with 71% of the vote, a University of North Florida poll from November found that 67% said they would vote for the recreational marijuana amendment.

A Florida Chamber of Commerce poll, meanwhile, found only 57% of Florida voters supported the amendment, which would not be enough to meet the 60% threshold for passage.

“The national Gallup poll has got 52% of conservatives supporting legal marijuana,” Koger said. “It’s splitting them in half. … It sort of puts the Republican Party in an interesting position. I imagine there would be some degree of tension on this issue. So I’m intrigued to see how they manage that conflict.”

For Democrats, the impact on turnout could be less than in a lower-turnout midterm year but still noticeable, said Daniel A. Smith, political science chair at the University of Florida

“Democrats should benefit,” Smith said. “Democratic positions are aligned … and voters should be able to make an easy connection between the candidates with a D next to their name and their support for these measures.”

Future Florida Leaders, a progressive young-voter organization, wasted no time in announcing Monday it would immediately start distributing “College Democrats-branded condoms and rolling papers” on college campuses. The goal would be to raise awareness of the marijuana measure and abortion rights amendment, which also was given a green light by the court.

But the pot referendum might allow Republicans “to have their cake and eat it too,” Smith said.

“There are certainly a lot of folks in this state who have their medical marijuana card but are also MAGA supporters,” Smith said. “Those hard-core Trump supporters are not going to be thinking about this issue as aligning their position with the Democratic Party. That’s just not going to happen.”

Matt Isbell, a Democratic elections analyst who runs the MCIMaps site, said the effect on turnout for Democrats “really depends on the campaign.”

“I don’t think that by itself, it’s automatically going to have a super-notably statistical change,” Isbell said. “… The only way it’s going to have a real effect is if there’s a heavy campaign about it.”

He cited the 2014 medical marijuana initiative, which largely was detached from the governor’s race that year and did not boost turnout among Democrats. That measure failed, while a better-organized measure passed two years later.

David Jolly, a former Republican Congress member from St. Petersburg and co-founder of the Forward Party, said that much of the public has started to tune out marijuana opponents after their worst-case scenario predictions for medicinal marijuana haven’t panned out.

“We haven’t seen those negative consequences of it as a society,” Jolly said. “And I think that’s one of the reasons you see such broad support for [recreational use] now.”

John Morgan, head of the Orlando law firm Morgan & Morgan, who spearheaded the 2016 medicinal pot amendment, also said he believed the recreational measure would get widespread support.

“It’s bipartisan now,” Morgan said. “Only a few very old white men are still against it, and they don’t know why.”

Concerning indeed.

The number of voters registering without a photo ID is SKYROCKETING in 3 key swing states: (Is Texas a swing state now?)

Arizona, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

Since the start of 2024:

TX: 1,250,710
PA: 580,513
AZ: 220,731

HAVV allows voters to register with a Social Security Number (4 digits).

Illegals are not able to get licenses there. But they can get Social Security Cards (for work authorization permits).

Data is publicly available: https://ssa.gov/open/havv/havv-weekly-2024-01-13.html



Scott Presler gives a little perspective...

"
People need to also understand that you do not need a photo ID to register to vote.

In order to register to vote, you either need a Driver’s License or the last 4 of your Social Security Number.

If someone does not have a DL, they use the SSN.

For voter registration, there is also a box that voters must check to indicate they are American citizens.

As someone who registers voters across the country, I know this information first-hand.

Furthermore, we are also registering a lot of Amish to vote. The Amish do not have photo ID. (I am not saying these numbers reflect Amish voter registration.)

The information above just serves to point to other ways people may register to vote."


...nevertheless, this absolutely deserves some scrutiny.



https://twitter.com/ScottPresl.../1775252503765860607

It's right there on the page. You think Manuel who came cross the border two months ago has an SSN?

Additionally, do you guys really believe every one of these peasants are going to vote?

Let's just take it easy, please.

In Texas, it is the law that one needs a state photo ID to VOTE, they scan the barcode on the back to get info. If they register without ID, they'll still need one at the polls. And getting a mail in ballot has very narrow restrictions and requirements.

Since the subject of illegals having Social Security Numbers has come up, here are the facts:

Myth #1: Border Patrol and Customs enforcement is issuing SS numbers to illegals.

Bullshit. Not happening. Never did. https://apnews.com/article/fac...-border-552180846074.

Myth #2: OK. Must be SSA is giving out SS numbers to illegals.

Nope.
What do I need to submit to the Social Security office?
You need to prove your identity and work
authorized immigration status.
To prove your identity and work-authorized immigration
status, show us your current U.S. immigration documents
and your unexpired foreign passport. Acceptable immigration
documents include your:
• Form I-551 (Lawful Permanent Resident Card, Machine
Readable Immigrant Visa).
• Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record).
• Form I-766 (Employment Authorization Document/EAD).
• Admission stamp showing a class of admission permitting
work.
Exchange visitors: If you’re a J-1 or J-2 exchange visitor,
we also need to see your DS-2019, Certificate of Eligibility
for Exchange Visitor Status or EAD. If you are a J-1 student,
student intern, or international visitor, you must provide a letter
from your sponsor. The letter should be on sponsor letterhead
with an original signature that authorizes your employment.
International students: If you’re an F-1 or M-1 student,
we need to see your Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for
Nonimmigrant Student Status or Designated School Official
(DSO) letter. For information on other documents that students
must provide, read International Students and Social Security.

Q. What about illegals that go to SSA with fake documents requesting a card?

A. SSA has direct data access to INS records. If an illegal comes in with a fake document, even a really good one, they get caught when we check it with INS.

Thank you both.

Rebuking the judge should work out well for Smith.

Let's hope this "awakening" keeps growing

Wisconsin voters approved an amendment on Tuesday night, banning the private funding of elections in the swing state.

The amendment directs that “donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in…connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum,” according to the question phrasing that the Wisconsin State Legislature listed. Associated Press election results showed the ballot question passed by a 54.4 percent to 45.6 percent vote.

Wisconsinites also voted in favor of a second part to the amendment on ballot question two, mandating “that only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums.” That question passed with 58.6 percent of support.

The votes come four years after the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), gave more than $10 million in grants in Wisconsin in the 2020 election, as Capital Research Center reported.

“Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan notoriously poured hundreds of millions of ‘Zuckerbucks’ into” the CTCL “for the purpose of getting out the vote in Democrat-leaning areas in the 2020 election,” Breitbart News previously noted.

The Badger State went for President Joe Biden in that year’s presidential election by just 20,682 votes. In 2021, the state had an opportunity to ban the private funding of elections, but Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) vetoed a bill that the state legislature passed that would have done so.

Former President Donald Trump encouraged voters at a rally on Wednesday evening in Green Bay — while polls were still open — to “ban Zuckerbucks” by voting for the ballot questions, and Republicans celebrated the outcome.
