For months now, we have been following the progression of a ballot initiative in the state of Oregon that would effectively ban hunting and fishing by outlawing the killing of animals.

In May, petitioners seemed to reach the prerequisite number of signatures to get this crazy initiative on the ballot in November, but in the end they fell short.

When the state finally examined the petition signatures, they found that many of them were not valid. Anyone surprised?

The Oregon Capital Chronicle reports:

Oregon initiative that would have banned most killing of animals won’t be on November ballots

Oregonians won’t vote in November on whether to ban hunting, fishing, livestock farming and animal research after backers of a widely criticized initiative failed to gather enough valid signatures to make the ballot.

The Oregon Secretary of State’s Office announced late Friday afternoon that it had determined Initiative Petition 28, an effort led by Portland-based vegan advocates to dramatically expand the state’s animal cruelty laws, had less than 75% of the valid signatures it needed from Oregon voters to make it onto the November ballot.

Oregonians trying to pass laws through a statewide vote need to collect signatures from 6% of voters who cast ballots in the last gubernatorial election. This year, that’s 117,173 signatures.

Backers of the animal cruelty initiative, who did not immediately return a call for comment Friday, reported handing in 142,784 signatures. But through two statistical samples, state election officials determined that just 104,262 of those signatures matched individual Oregon voters’ signature records. Election officials compare signatures submitted to voter records and exclude duplicates.

Initiative Petition 28 would have banned nearly all harming or killing animals, with exceptions for self-defense and veterinary care. It would not have applied to insects, which aren’t considered animals under Oregon law, but would cover all other non-human creatures.

The left used fraudulent signatures? Say it isn’t so.

Had originally got enough to be on ballot…but a bunch of fraudulent signatures took it blow the threshold

Imagine that lol https://t.co/xyA7PWm6kJ

This is one of the reasons that so many people in Oregon want to break away from the state and become part of Idaho.

Who can blame them?

Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs got lit up on social media after she ridiculously claimed credit for President Trump’s no-tax-on-tips platform last week. 

Notably, the message came just days after Trump-Endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate Andy Biggs won his primary election in a landslide.

It can be recalled that Kamala Harris also tried to steal Trump’s No Tax on Tips proposal, announcing during an August 2024 rally that she would “eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.” Trump had already been talking about his proposal throughout 2024, but Kamala put forth the totally original idea as the first policy after being installed as the Democratic Nominee.

Arizona’s fraudster-in-chief released the following video on X last week, taking credit for the state’s policy of eliminating taxes on tips and saying, “Families struggle with high costs because of Washington’s misguided policies,” a not-so-subtle jab at the Trump Administration.

She conveniently failed to mention, however, that the Republican State Legislature passed the provision as part of the 2026 budget, which sought to mirror Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

WATCH:

No tax on tips. Here in Arizona, we eliminated taxes on tips so that service workers like the guys here at Chili Pepper in Yuma can keep every dollar they earn through tips. As families struggle with high costs because of Washington’s misguided policies, I’m working to put more money in Arizonans’ pockets, and we did just that with my fourth bipartisan balance budget that cut taxes for hardworking families.

In Fact, Hobbs was not only not responsible for the tax cut, but she wanted to raise taxes on Arizonans.

According to the Arizona Daily Sun, “While having to accept larger tax cuts than she wanted, Hobbs also had to give up on her plans to raise various taxes and fees to fund the $18.7 billion budget she proposed in January, a plan that would have funded various new and expanded programs.” This included state tax laws that conform to federal statutes, which she had reportedly referred to as “hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks to special interests.”

Hobbs even stole 2022 competitor Kari Lake’s campaign slogan when she signed the bill, which included provisions she opposed, admitting it would “put Arizona first.” Lake, the star GOP candidate whose election was stolen by just 17,100 votes out of over 2.5 million, first coined the famed “Arizona first” slogan.

Just like Hobbs stole the 2022 election, where machines at 60% of voting centers in the state’s largest county failed to tabulate votes on election day, she is now stealing credit for Conservative wins.

Hobbs got “ratioed” on her X post, which had over 2,600 comments mainly attacking her for lying, and just 258 reposts and 595 likes as of Monday night.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped a huge bombshell last night, days after former White House COVID advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci’s private thoughts during the COVID pandemic were revealed to the entire world: the wicked doctor hid a life-threatening complication after publicly taking the COVID shot.

The Gateway Pundit reported over the weekend that Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, recently released diary entries, Tony’s Diary Package, from Fauci that show a bizarre, yet characteristic, obsession with fame, even as the death toll from the pandemic grew.

In one entry, Fauci describes feeling “pretty safe” due to public adulation while cases surge.

On March 10, 2020, Fauci wrote, “For better or worse, I am becoming an international celebrity. Calls from all over the world.”

But the newly released diaries also reveal something even more disturbing: Fauci suffered a major vaccine injury months after taking the COVID shot, right after it was first made available!

RFK, Jr. told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham on Monday night that Fauci suffered what is called a pulmonary infarction. According to Verywell Health, a pulmonary infarction is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when one of the small blood vessels in the lungs gets blocked. This causes part of the lung tissue to die.

Immediate attention is required should either respiratory distress, a state of not getting enough oxygen to the body, or hemodynamic collapse, which is a sudden drop in blood flow, happens.

As RFK, Jr. notes, this is one of the side effects that can result from taking the COVID shot. Yet Fauci was so dedicated to locking down the world and his own fame that he covered up a possibly life-threatening complication.

How narcissistic can you get?

WATCH:

WOW! Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just OBLITERATED Dr. Fauci for lying about the COVID vaccine, getting a PULMONARY side effect and HIDING IT from us

“He got vaccinated very publicly…then 5 months later, we know from the diary, he had a pulmonary INFARCTION! HE NEVER TOLD… pic.twitter.com/mvI9FHGPDH

RFK. JR: He got vaccinated very publicly at a press conference in (December) 2020. Then, five months later, he had a pulmonary infarction.

One of the adverse events NIH, CDC, and FDA are expected from the vaccine. He never told anybody.

He got treated for it, privately, by the best doctors in America, at the same time he was telling everybody it was not an adverse event.

By Wayne Allyn Root

There are five terrible, horrible, awful, dangerous, deadly, tragic threats to America’s future staring us in the face…

#1) Rigged and stolen elections (which, throughout history, is the communist way to gain power and maintain power forever).

#2) Communism and the communist color revolution going on in America today- right in front of our eyes.

#3) The radical Muslim invasion of America, the in-your-face Jew hatred, and the Islamification of major cities like New York City.

#4) The merger of communists and Islamic extremists to destroy America- with many of these “Death to America” and “Death to Jews” extremists and radicals about to join the Congress and US Senate.

#5) The insurrection against President Trump and the MAGA agenda by Democrat politicians, government officials, and judges- in particular, politicians siding with foreign criminal illegal aliens over the laws of America and the US Constitution.

These five threats have the potential to destroy America, American exceptionalism, the great American middle class, capitalism, economic and personal freedom, and free speech.

That is why they must be stopped N-O-W!

The only man who can do it is President Donald J. Trump.

Here are five simple, realistic, doable solutions…

#1) First, before dealing with anything else, we need to stop these communist and radical Muslim SUICIDE BOMBERS from rigging and stealing the midterms. To be blunt, everything else pales in relation to this threat.

If President Trump and the GOP lose the midterms- the game is over. The Trump presidency is neutered. The MAGA agenda is stopped cold. The secure border and mass deportation is suddenly at risk of being reversed. And we are one election in 2028 away from the end of America.

There is only one way to stop Democrats from rigging and stealing the midterms…

President Trump needs to declare a Presidential National Security Emergency for Elections.

This is the only way at this late stage to mandate Voter Photo ID; proof of citizenship; an end to unlimited mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes; an end to counting ballots past Election Day; and replacing corrupt machines that can be hacked and manipulated to change votes with paper ballots.

The SAVE Act is too late. The odds of it passing are between slim and none. But even if it passes, it’s weak, it never deals with corrupt machine voting, and it will be challenged in court instantly.

The SAVE Act will never be in effect for the midterms.

My idea for a National Security Emergency cannot be challenged in court- as per a 1983 Supreme Court ruling. It can only be overturned by a 2/3rds vote in both houses of Congress- which will never happen.

My election security expert, John Goodman, has done the research and confirmed this as fact.

In other words, the minute President Trump declares and signs a National Security Emergency, we will have secure elections, and Democrat vote riggers and scammers are out of business!

#2) Secondly, we have free speech in America. But that should not apply to communism.

We cannot allow anarchy, or insurrection, or communist color revolutions. Communism is not “free speech.” Communism is pure evil. It has no place in America or American society.

Preaching communism is revolution, insurrection, a violent coup- the overthrow of America, American exceptionalism, democracy, capitalism, the rule of law, and the US Constitution.

The DSA (Democrat Socialists of America) hate America, and democracy and capitalism.

They want to overthrow our government. They want to destroy the US Constitution. They want to eliminate police and prisons. They preach hatred towards white people, American patriots, Jews and Christians.

Communism ALWAYS ends in mass misery and poverty, enslavement of the citizens, mass arrests, torture, mass murder, concentration camps (called “re-education camps”), and the end of free speech.

The DSA is a domestic terrorist organization and the enemy of America.

They are funded by globalists, communists, and our foreign enemies- in particular, China and the CCP.

President Trump must designate the DSA, and the Communist Party of America, and other socialist, Marxist and communist organizations as domestic terrorists and ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES, ban them, and disband them, and deport their foreign leaders.

This is the only way to deal with the threat of communism. Send them packing out of the USA. Make it known from now on, no communists or communist supporters are allowed in this country.

America is a “communist free zone.”

#3) Foreign communists turned legal immigrants like Mayor Mamdani, Ilhan Omar and all their communist DSA buddies who preach hate and violence, and tell their followers not to comply with the laws of America, and the US Constitution, must be arrested, have their citizenship revoked, and deported.

It’s easy to prove they lied in their citizenship interviews- they never disclosed they were communists, hated America, hated Jews and Christians, and wanted to overthrow America. Out they go.

#4) President Trump must ban Sharia Law permanently in America.

No group of immigrants has the right to impose any system that has authority over our American laws or the US Constitution. Anyone who thinks they can come to America and ignore our laws, install their own set of laws, and overthrow or conquer America should be banned from America and deported.

From this point on, the mandate is that all potential legal immigrants to America must pledge loyalty to our laws and the US Constitution. No one who disagrees will be allowed into our country.

And no one who preaches hate towards Jews or Christians will be allowed into America- even to visit as tourists. All visas will be denied. If any immigrant is determined to have lied about these views, they will have their citizenship revoked and be immediately deported.

We can never allow hatred for Jews or Christians in America. This hate speech must be stamped out immediately.

#5) Stop accepting insurrection. If Democrat politicians encourage illegal aliens to hide from ICE; warn illegals when ICE is coming; encourage illegals to not comply with ICE; hinder ICE; or aid and abet illegal alien criminals in any way…

Arrest these politicians and government officials.

It’s time to send a strong message. If politicians and government officials preach non-compliance with the laws of America, or help criminals illegally in our nation to evade capture, they are committing criminal acts and must be arrested.

No one is above the law.

If President Trump takes these five actions, all 77 million Trump voters in MAGA nation will back him, and stand with him, to the end of time.

We have your back, President Trump. Forever.

This is the only way to save America; protect America from her enemies; stop rigged and stolen elections; stop the left’s nonstop insurrection; and make America great again.

MAGA.

The Democrat National Committee recently voted to change their primary calendar for 2028. They are putting South Carolina first in an obvious effort to help Kamala Harris, who is currently leading polling and could end up being their 2028 nominee.

The problem with this is that some states don’t want to follow the new calendar and may even end up defying the party because no one is afraid of DNC chair Ken Martin, according to CNN reporter Edward Isaac-Dovere.

What is the DNC going to do to punish these states? Withhold funds that they don’t even have?

FOX News reports:

States may defy DNC primary calendar as ‘nobody is scared’ of Ken Martin, CNN reporter says

CNN’s Edward Isaac-Dovere suggested Sunday that states could buck the DNC’s primary schedule and hold its elections whenever they want to, pointing to New Hampshire specifically, and said that “nobody” is scared of DNC Chair Ken Martin.

“There is the possibility that a state could choose to not follow the DNC here and hold its primary when they want to,” Dovere said as CNN host Manu Raju added that New Hampshire wanted to do this.

“And people saying, ‘Hey, the DNC is broke. They can’t do anything to help us anyway. Nobody is scared in any way of Ken Martin as the chair. And so maybe they’ll just go and violate it.’ It is not where the infrastructure of the party needs to be for going into 2026 and then 2028,” Dovere added.

The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) panel, meeting in the nation’s capital on Friday, picked South Carolina over Nevada to hold the party’s first presidential nominating contest in 2028, a move that will likely maintain a key role in the primary calendar for Black voters, who are a crucial part of the Democrats’ base.

The decision came after intense lobbying by both states, and by New Hampshire and Iowa over the past year to hold the much-coveted lead-off Democratic primary in the race for the White House.

This is the calendar that the party is supposed to follow.

What are they going to do if states openly defy them?

What can they even do about it? Nothing, really.
