  • Who is Running Truth Social

    Who is Running Truth Social

    Whistleblower filings have made the financial fingerprint of Truth Social and the rest of Trump’s media venture a little clearer. 

    Since the Donald Trump-founded social media platform, Truth Social, launched in February, the site’s financial origins have been cloaked in a layer of mystery. The company secured a reported $1 billion in funding, but that money remains inaccessible pending a successful public launch. In the interim, Trump’s media venture has pulled together about $38 million in debt, according to SEC filings, and that money didn’t come from Trump himself. So, who provided it? 

    Finally, we have some answers, according to a report from Reuters. An oil tycoon with political ties, former Trump appointees and staff suckups, and your generic rich business owners pooled their resources together. 

    In August, a former co-founding executive of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), William Wilkerson, filed a whistleblower claim with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against his employer and the sketchy shell company trying to take Truth Social public. Earlier this month, Wilkerson went public with his complaint. And now, some of the documents Wilkerson shared with the SEC have come to light. 

    Here are some of the major Truth investors, according to those filings, as first reported by Reuters: 

        Karl Pfluger, president of the Texas oil company Oryx Midstream and brother of Congressman August Pfluger, has put nearly $10 million towards Truth Social since December 2021. Rep. Pfluger has been an outspoken supporter and endorsee of Trump. He was one of the many politicians who voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election, and just recently started receiving fundraising dollars from Amazon’s corporate PAC. 

        Patrick Walsh, CEO of Empire Holdings—a company that manages multiple gym brands—has invested $6.2 million with Truth. 

        Kenny Troutt, a Texas telecoms billionaire who has donated to Trump before, forked over $4 million for Truth. 

        Roy Bailey, the co-finance chairman for Trump’s 2016 election campaign and later a lobbyist for the administration, gave at least $200,000 towards Truth. 

        George Glass, a real-estate developer from Oregon who was appointed to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Portugal during Trump’s presidency, dumped in at least half a million. 

        Bob McNutt, fittingly the CEO of a mail-order fruitcake company, made a modest $100,000 contribution to Trump’s social media platform. 

    Last month, the shell company doing its best to prop the social media site up downgraded from an office space to a UPS store mailbox. 

    Notably, with Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter finally complete, Trump has sorta returned to his previous favorite platform. On Twitter, the former president once had more than 88 million followers, compared with about 4 million on Truth Social, before being perma-banned. As long as his media company survives, Trump is contractually obligated to keep Truth-ing, but he’ll have leeway to tweet too.

  • The Pied Piper of the GOP

    The Pied Piper of the GOP

    “The Pied Piper” is a famous folktale that originated in Germany and has been passed down through generations. The story revolves around a town plagued by rats and a mysterious piper who promises to rid the town of the vermin. In exchange, the townspeople agree to pay him a handsome reward. The piper uses his magical flute to lure the rats away, leading them into a river where they drown. However, when the piper returns to collect his reward, the townspeople refuse to pay him. In revenge, the piper plays his flute once again, but this time, he enchants the children of the town and leads them away, never to be seen again. The tale serves as a cautionary reminder of the importance of honoring promises and treating others fairly.

    Followers of Donald Trump come from diverse backgrounds and encompass a wide range of demographics. While it is difficult to generalize the entire spectrum of Trump supporters, there are some common characteristics and viewpoints often associated with his base. It should be noted that not all of his supporters necessarily embody all of these traits, as individual motivations and beliefs can vary.

    1. Conservative Ideology: Many of Trump’s followers align with conservative values, such as limited government intervention, free markets, and a strong national defense. They appreciate his policies and rhetoric that prioritize American interests and national sovereignty.
    2. Anti-establishment Sentiment: Trump’s appeal as a political outsider resonates with those who feel disillusioned or dissatisfied with traditional politicians and institutions. His supporters often view him as a disruptor who challenges the status quo.
    3. Economic Concerns: Trump’s emphasis on job creation, economic growth, and tax cuts has attracted followers who prioritize economic prosperity. They see his business background as an asset and believe he can strengthen the economy.
    4. Strong Leadership: Many of his supporters admire Trump’s strong persona and perceived willingness to stand up for what he believes in. They appreciate his assertiveness and see him as a decisive leader who is unafraid to take action.
    5. Immigration and National Security: Trump’s stance on immigration, particularly his calls for stricter border control and stronger national security measures, has resonated with those who prioritize homeland security and preserving American identity.
    6. Populist Appeal: Trump has a talent for connecting with working-class Americans and addressing their concerns. Some supporters feel that he represents their interests and values, and appreciate his direct and relatable communication style.
    7. Social Conservatism: Trump’s conservative stance on social issues, such as abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, has attracted followers who prioritize traditional family values and religious freedom.
    8. Media Criticism: Trump’s repeated criticism of mainstream media appeals to his supporters who share his view that the media is biased and often unfair in its coverage. They appreciate his willingness to challenge the narrative and provide an alternative perspective.

    It is important to recognize that this is not an exhaustive list, nor does it imply that all Trump supporters fit into these categories. People’s motivations and beliefs are complex and multifaceted, and individual supporters may prioritize different aspects of Trump’s platform, however:

    The House Speaker is a prominent position in the legislative branch. In the United States, the Speaker of the House is the presiding officer of the House of Representatives, elected by members of the House. The Speaker has significant responsibilities, such as leading the House, overseeing legislative processes, shaping the legislative agenda, and representing the House to the executive branch and the public. The Speaker also plays a crucial role in the succession to the presidency. The position requires strong leadership and parliamentary skills, as well as the ability to navigate political dynamics within the legislative body.

    Parliamentary skills are essential for effective leadership in any legislative body. These skills refer to the knowledge and abilities required to navigate parliamentary procedures and processes, as well as to successfully engage in legislative debate and decision-making. Some important parliamentary skills include:

    1. Rules of Procedure: Understanding the rules and regulations that govern the legislative body is crucial for a speaker. This includes knowledge of how debates are structured, how motions are made and voted upon, and how to interpret and apply parliamentary rules.
    2. Effective Communication: The ability to articulate ideas clearly and persuasively is essential for a speaker. This skill involves being able to present arguments, engage in debate, and communicate the position of the House effectively to members, the public, and other branches of government.
    3. Negotiation and Compromise: A speaker must be skilled in finding common ground and building consensus. This involves the ability to negotiate with different political parties and stakeholders, recognize opposing viewpoints, and facilitate compromise to advance legislative goals.
    4. Leadership: Parliamentary skills also include leadership qualities such as being able to inspire and motivate members, maintain order and decorum, and make fair and impartial rulings on procedural matters.
    5. Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution: Speakers often find themselves dealing with conflicts and disagreements among members. Strong parliamentary skills include the ability to mediate conflicts, find resolutions, and foster a respectful and productive legislative environment.

    Neither Jim Jordan nor McCarthy possessed any of the skills mentioned above. Let’s face it – McCarthy lost the thrown by none other than the alleged sex offender Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan has the uncanny ability of not only waving his arm and screaming as if that will produce truth in whatever he’s screaming about but both Gaetz and Jordan have alleged sex crimes with underage girls and boys.

    Here we are without a House Speaker, 1 fired, and 2 can’t get the votes, yet it makes one wonder just how in the entire hell is it President Biden’s fault that the Republicans literally fell apart and they can’t organize themselves. For 3 years the entire world has heard, that President Biden is the reason there’s no border that Trump didn’t finish and his buddy stole the money for the border; Biden has become the world-class drug dealer responsible for the fentanyl coming from Mexico and everything else imaginable.

    I find this utterly disgusting, Lauren Boebart performing sex acts at the theater while vaping, Marge Green’s fascination with Hunter Biden’s dick pics, and massaging the penis of the blow-up image of Trump. Makes one wonder about her obsession with men locked up for the Jan 6 riot against democracy. Meanwhile, children and women are being slaughtered and raped in Ukraine and now Isreal is at war. If only the President of the United States for 2 hours could become a dictator (when only ABSOLUTELY necessary) and fire the clowns and hire folk who actually care about the citizens of the US and are not the children of the corn being led by the Pied Piper of Lies.

    It’s going to sound like this, “…if Biden had not imposed restrictions on gun purchases demanding registration, DeSantis wouldn’t have used Floridians taxpayers funds to fly to TX get the (aliens) and bring them to FL , so they could exstablish residency, stash the Coke in the ocean before being flown to Martha’s Vineyard.

    What is a Resume?

    A resume (or “CV” outside of the US) is a formal document that provides an overview of your professional qualifications, including your relevant work experience, skills, education, and notable accomplishments. Usually paired with a cover letter, a resume helps you demonstrate your abilities and convince employers you’re qualified and hireable. If you’re applying for a job, you need at least a resume to be considered for the position.

    On a base level, a resume is made up of the following five parts:

    Contact details
    Introduction
    Educational background
    Work history
    Relevant skills

    Requirements to Become a Representative

    In my search regarding the requirements to become a representative one requirement stood out, one must have personal skills to get folks to vote – I wonder who Santos talked to considering not one person knew he was not Jewish.

    The final step to becoming a congressperson is launching your campaign. You will find your interpersonal skills especially useful during this stage, as they will enable you to build rapport with potential voters. Communication skills will also enable you to push your platform, promote your advocacy and forge stronger connections with your constituents


    Connections and relationships are key to running a successful campaign. According to Business Insider, this factor is causing many hopeful millennials to lose congressional races. In a blog post by hopeful House Member Erin Schrode, a 24-year-old activist from Northern California who hoped to be the youngest woman elected to the House, told readers a man told her after voting he would have voted for her instead of the incumbent–had he known who she was. Name recognition is an essential component of a successful campaign.

    Congress.Gov

    George Santos is already in the database as a representative, however, if you click [Read biography] see the next image – there is nothing posted, unlike other members…

    This is what the biography of a Jewish representative looks like…

    This is the biography of a Jewish Democratic Senator, who is truthfuland , concerned about his constituents and his office is responsive to homeless veterans in Connecticut, other members should mirror his behavior!

    List of Untruths

    It appears some folk are alarmed that George Santos lied on his resume if you will the lies so far are:

    • Graduating from Baruch College Santos claims that in 2010 he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in economics
    • Having Jewish grandparents This lie feels especially egregious. Santos says his grandparents survived the Holocaust as Ukrainian Jewish refugees from Belgium.
    • Losing employees in the Pulse nightclub shooting During an interview with WNYC while campaigning, Santos said “people that work for me” were impacted during the Pulse nightclub shooting;
    • Running an animal charity Friends of Pets is a charity that Santos claims he founded from 2013;
    • Santos has said he worked at the company as an associate asset manager within Citigroup’s real estate division.
    • Owning rental property Further playing into his purported real estate expertise, Santos claimed, as a landlord, he was hurt by Covid-19 related eviction protections;
    • The Devolder Organization Santos says Devolder is his “family’s firm” that managed $80 million in assets and described it as a capital introduction consulting company.
    • What’s most noteworthy about the Devolder story is the fact that Santos appears to have not provided any information about the company’s clients that would have contributed to his payout—a violation of federal law to disclose any compensation in excess of $5,000 from a single source.
    • And in an even shadier turn of events: Talking Points Memo found that Santos has filed documents to have Devolder reinstated. Why? That could be the million-dollar question.
    • Bonus-not-exactly-a-lie: Knowing about an alleged Ponzi scheme Santos actually worked as regional director of Harby City Capital, a Florida-based investment company that attracted investors through YouTube videos and guarantees of double-digit returns.

    What I find interesting is the republican members of the United States Congress were more interested in gaining one more seat than rejecting a liar running to represent George Santos stated. The GOP DID NOTHING, why should they – We The People could care less, how long did it take journalists to start calling Trump on his lies and ignorance, we watched a football player make a complete (no) we watched Black Leaders let an uninformed unqualified football player make a fool of himself running for office and his talking points were about vampires and goblins.

    Lies/Bad Behavior

    Why should anyone in Congress or We The People be concerned about the lies, the past president of the United States Donald Trump told approximately 7,643 lies each year he was in office. We The People have allowed a woman of Christain/Christain Nationalist Marjorie Taylor Greene (Queen of I Don’t Recall) harassing Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez outside the House chamber like a 16-year-old jealous little girl on her abortion policies however Marjorie has no issue with adultery and if you ask her a question she immediately becomes childlike, fearful of authority and unable to take ownership of her behavior just like her president Trump.

    Just like his leader, Santos will do anything for a dollar not only is the liar accepted into Congress he asks the American People to pay from $100 – $500 to have the privilege of attending his swearing-in ceremony.

  • The (Not So) Big Differences Between Republicans and Democrats

    The (Not So) Big Differences Between Republicans and Democrats

    The two major political parties in the United States are the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but many Americans have trouble understanding how the two parties differ from one another in their beliefs and political platforms. In this article, we’ll examine three of the most talked-about differences between Republicans and Democrats, looking at Social Security, minimum wage, and foreign policy. Keep reading to find out more about these three topics, and to learn how they affect you!

    Things They Agree On

    We can all agree that the Republican and Democratic parties are two of the most influential political parties in the world. They both have a long history, dating back to the early 1800s. In the United States, these two parties dominate the political landscape. More than half of voters identify as either Democrat or Republican. There are some similarities between the two, but there are also some significant differences. Let’s take a look at them one by one:

    -First, Republicans believe in small government with limited interference from federal agencies and high taxes on businesses while Democrats want more government involvement and lower taxes for individuals.

    -Second, Republicans want to repeal Obamacare while Democrats want to keep it.

    -Third, we see an interesting contrast when it comes to immigration reform: while the GOP wants stricter policies and laws that focus on illegal immigrants entering our country illegally through our borders, democrats support legislation focused on those who enter our country legally but overstay their visas.

    Things they disagree on

    Both Republicans and Democrats want what’s best for America, but they often disagree on the best way to achieve it. Here are three of the biggest areas where they differ 1) Healthcare – Republicans believe that free market forces will bring down costs and encourage innovation in the health care industry. Meanwhile, Democrats support a single-payer system like Medicare or Medicaid that covers everyone with government insurance. 2) Taxes – Republicans generally want lower taxes for businesses so corporations can invest more in themselves and create jobs. Meanwhile, Democrats favor raising taxes on higher earners to fund social programs that make sure everyone has access to things like education and healthcare. 3) Immigration – The debate is between protecting America’s borders versus providing a pathway to citizenship through comprehensive immigration reform with some form of amnesty so undocumented immigrants can become citizens.

    The Platforms

    When it comes to the economy, both parties want to create jobs, but they have different ways of going about it. The Republican Party favors cutting taxes and regulations to help businesses grow, while the Democratic Party favors investing in infrastructure and education to create a skilled workforce. As for immigration, the two parties also take very different approaches. While many democrats favor granting citizenship to undocumented immigrants and keeping borders open, republicans support building a wall along the Mexican border and cracking down on illegal immigration.

    The mystery of Trump’s Following

    Some say that Trump’s success is due to his reality TV background. Others say it’s his status as a political outsider. But there might be another factor at play: Trump understands how to appeal to people’s emotions. His speeches are filled with catchy slogans, exaggeration, and oversimplification. He can quickly switch gears from attacking opponents to praising himself in order to keep the audience engaged, but he does so without factual accuracy or nuance. For example, he has said we are going to make America great again when referring to how he would solve economic problems like unemployment or decreasing wages. His rhetoric suggests an ability to overcome obstacles with ease—which may have convinced some voters who felt left behind by globalization and left out of the recovery after the 2008 recession that they could vote for him because he was on their side—but also appeals more broadly to those who want change without any specifics about what that change would look like. Trump’s language helped him get through the primary season with fewer staff members than other candidates needed, which meant less vetting of what he said. Bottom line, he gives a voice to the uninformed, voiceless section of America.
