Heritage Investigation Finds 14% Of Illegals In GA Housing Complex Are Registered To Vote
Mike Howell from Heritage Oversight highlights alarming findings about non-citizens being registered to vote. He reveals that Heritage conducted interviews asking non-citizens if they were registered to vote and if they were U.S. citizens. “The rate of affirmative responses we got is through the roof,” Howell notes, with 14% in Georgia admitting they’re registered. Howell argues this poses a significant threat to election integrity, especially in tight races, and accuses the Biden-Harris Administration of enabling this by refusing to monitor the number of illegal aliens.
Additionally, Howell criticizes the “Biden Bucks” program, claiming it’s an unconstitutional effort to bolster Democratic votes. He alleges that government funds are being used in strategic areas, such as Native American reservations, to influence elections. Howell also accuses the Department of Homeland Security of targeting truckers supporting Trump. He urges citizens to support the Heritage Oversight project to counter these activities, emphasizing their role in safeguarding democracy.
Dowd: Yen Carry Trade Practice Blew Up Japanese Economy Spectacularly After Interest Rate Hikes
Ed Dowd, renowned for his incisive economic analyses, discusses the current precarious state of the global economy. He attributes part of the problem to the Biden administration and Treasury Secretary Yellen’s “government spending spree,” which initially boosted the economy but has now faltered.
Dowd highlights the impact of Japan’s monetary policies, stating that their zero-interest rate approach and subsequent decision to raise rates by 25 basis points have created significant instability. This shift triggered a collapse in the Yen carry trade, causing massive margin calls in Asia and rippling through global markets. Dowd notes, “Our stock markets are only down eight percent from their peak,” but warns of more potential downturns. He believes the Federal Reserve’s “wait and see” approach exacerbates market fears, suggesting a deliberate attempt to influence the upcoming U.S. election, potentially favoring Trump.
Additionally, Dowd touches on the lasting economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased mortality rates among younger demographics. He predicts a market correction of 20-25% by October, with the economy already in a recessionary phase. Dowd concludes by emphasizing the Federal Reserve’s current inactivity, urging vigilance as the financial landscape continues to evolve.
Washburn: “Zuckbucks” Operation Targeting Rural And Non Urban Areas Without Zuckerberg Money
Logan Washburn, from the Federalist, sheds light on the left’s dark money networks, highlighting their strategic maneuvers in swing states. The Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), known for its controversial involvement in the 2020 elections with funding from Mark Zuckerberg, is rebranding and launching new initiatives targeting rural and non-urban counties. Washburn explains that CTCL offers grants for “essential election operations,” but their lack of transparency about funding sources raises questions.
"It’s not like CTCL is coming out being forthright with who their donors are and where they’re operating,” Washburn says, highlighting the opaque nature of these operations. CTCL is also behind the Alliance for Election Excellence, a rebranding effort that unites various election influence groups under one umbrella. Despite some states banning private election funding, Washburn notes these groups continue finding loopholes, maintaining their influence. Washburn stresses the need to trace their connections and monitor their activities closely.
Walsh: America Experiencing Demand Driven Economic Stagnation And Now Decline
Dave Walsh critiques current U.S. energy and economic policies, pointing out the lagging effects of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes, which historically take 14 to 18 months to impact the economy. He notes a significant decline in gasoline consumption, stating it is "4-5% lower than it was in the entire 2016-19 time period,” highlighting economic stagnation.
Despite geopolitical tensions, oil prices remain low due to decreased demand in Western Europe and North America. Walsh also criticizes the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), stating it indirectly benefits China, with "25 to 30 billion a year” supporting Chinese manufacturing of solar panels and batteries. He argues this results in higher electricity costs for Americans, as they purchase expensive, unreliable equipment from China. Walsh labels the IRA a "horrendous” policy, suggesting it mainly benefits China and impacts U.S. consumers negatively.
Rabine: Kamala’s America Is Very Much Like Pritzker’s Illinois
Gary Rabine, CEO and founder of the Rabine Group, criticizes current U.S. economic policies and the handling of employment, energy, and business development under the Biden administration. He notes that unemployment has reached 4.3%, the highest since October 2021, and attributes this to economic policies that hurt businesses. Rabine observes, “Wall Street is really panicking right now,” due to fears of a Kamala Harris presidency, leading to major cutbacks and uncertainty. He highlights how the Trump administration saw booming business activity, which has now declined under Biden.
Rabine also criticizes Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for his high taxes and partnership with China, giving subsidies to Goshen, a Chinese company accused of using forced labor. This has led to business migration out of Illinois. Rabine equates Pritzker’s actions to what might happen under “Kamala’s America.”
Discussing job prospects for young people, Rabine sees difficulty due to economic policies and immigration, emphasizing the pressure illegal immigration puts on the job market, particularly in Chicago. He remarks, “There’s outrage over illegal aliens taking jobs,” and the economic challenges faced by locals.
Rabine plans a pro-Trump rally in Illinois on August 18th, expecting 15,000-30,000 attendees, with appearances from prominent figures like Charlie Kirk and General Flynn. This demonstrates the strong support for Trump despite the Democratic National Convention happening nearby. Rabine also believes the GOP has a chance in Illinois if they can control election integrity, stating, “If we can control the steal of votes here, Trump might even win in Illinois.”
Allen: Corporations For-see A World Where Human Beings Are Disposable
Joe Allen warns about the dual threat of job loss due to immigration and AI advancements. He explains that while the current issue is the competition from legal and illegal immigrants and outsourcing, AI is set to disrupt the job market further. Allen cites projections, such as those from Goldman Sachs, that predict up to 300 million jobs worldwide could be replaced by AI. The displacement doesn’t require AI to outperform humans; companies need only believe AI is superior for significant job shifts.
The most vulnerable sectors include drivers, manufacturing, and even white-collar jobs like accounting, teaching, and law. AI is increasingly expected to augment or replace these roles. Allen advises young workers to develop traditional skills and creativity, suggesting that relying on AI-based roles, such as low-level coding, might not be secure. He urges individuals to become “great human workers” before becoming “cyborg employees,” emphasizing the enduring value of human creativity and skills in an AI-saturated world. Allen’s insights highlight the importance of adapting to technological changes while preserving human-centric skills.

Underwood: It’s Time To Get Active In Local Races And Not Just Activism
Eric Underwood, the GOP chairman of Nebraska, discusses grassroots engagement and election integrity challenges. He emphasizes the need for local activism, stating that “grassroots are becoming more engaged across the Nation and across the states.” Underwood highlights Nebraska’s efforts, including the implementation of a photo voter ID law and the elimination of ballot boxes, which were supported by 65.45% of Nebraskans in 2022.
He stresses the importance of state and county parties in addressing local issues and encourages people to become active in these areas, noting, “When you see a state party that’s been fighting for the people, that’s when you need to become engaged.” Underwood also critiques the current political climate, pointing out that fears of losing elections often lead to compromised legislation: “The compromise comes because of the fear of losing an election.”
Regarding national impacts, he mentions Nebraska’s involvement in a lawsuit against Kamala Harris’s campaign, underscoring the need for a united front among state parties. On the economic front, Underwood expresses concern over rising unemployment and its effects on Nebraskans, urging a focus on the workforce participation rate for a clearer economic picture.
