Americans significantly decreased contributions to Democrats running for state legislature seats in the second quarter as the Democrat Party has turned hard left, fundraising information announced this week shows.

The lackluster performance by Democrats at the state level could have broader national implications. First off, state-level political trends sometimes forecast later looming national trends—”from the State House to the White House,” the saying goes.

But more importantly, the state legislatures elected this year will handle redistricting next year heading into the 2022 cycle—influencing the direction of and perhaps control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.
The drop-off in Democrat Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) fundraising—which has Democrats $20 million shy of their stated cycle-long goal of $50 million total—comes as their Republican counterparts nearly doubled the total raised by Democrats in the second quarter.
The DLCC and its affiliated organizations in the second quarter of 2020 pulled in just $5.8 million, the party committee responsible for electing Democrats to state House and state Senate chambers nationwide announced this week. That means the DLCC has pulled in around $30 million total this whole cycle, $20 million short of the committee’s stated $50 million cycle-long goal.
The DLCC’s second quarter fundraising was dwarfed by its Republican counterpart, the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC), which announced it and its affiliated organizations hauled in nearly double the amount of the Democrats at more than $10.5 million in the second quarter. The RSLC and its affiliated organizations have pulled in $35 million cycle-to-date, meaning that the Democrats were on par with the Republicans on this front until the second quarter of this year dried up, leaving the Democrats $5 million behind.
“Placating the woke Left’s tirade against America may play well on Twitter and cable news, but it looks like anarchy is too tough a sell for liberal enablers like the DLCC to persuade donors to keep contributing to their radical mission,” Lenze Morris, the national press secretary for the RSLC, told Breitbart News. “Defunding the police, overreaching economic shutdowns, and shaming those who are proud of their country – it’s all a bridge too far for Americans, and state Democrats right now own every bit of this ludicrous agenda.”
Despite getting beat by Republicans, the DLCC still attempted to frame its haul as a win, claiming it raised more than the second quarter of the election year last cycle in 2018.
“Thanks to record-breaking fundraising and grassroots energy, Democrats are primed to flip state legislatures across the country,” DLCC president Jessica Post said in a release. “It’s truly never been more important to elect Democrats to statehouses as the country faces a pandemic and a worsening economic crisis thanks to GOP incompetence. Democrats will have the resources necessary to win state legislative races ahead of the fight against gerrymandering.”

BOOM! Another bombing in Iran, just north-east of Tehran. The front doors are blown out, the smoke is pouring through an apparent hole in the roof, all signs of a bomb or missile strike. Tehran is within range of the F-35.
Iran is freaking out about the bomb or missile strike at Natanz:
Hassan Abbasi, close to the inner circle of Iran’s dictator Ali Khamenei: “Following proof of spying by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, it is necessary that all IAEA inspectors be expelled from the country immediately.” https://twitter[dot]com/HeshmatAlavi/status/1280828929268482049
For the first time a source close to Iran security council says the incident at Natanz was a “deliberate attack”. https://twitter[dot]com/RadioFarda_Eng/status/1280496267915862023
Reporter: Did the U.S. have any role in the recent Natanz incident?
Sec. Pompeo: No comment.
What people do NOT understand is GOD’S WORD and that means that NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO ANNIHILATE ISRAEL BECAUSE GOD WILL NOT ALLOW IT.
THAT IS IN THE BIBLE.

Well yes, in a way. But Iran claims that the inspectors blabbed about the Natanz centrifuge plant to Israel. That’s baloney, because experts have known about that location since 2017.
I WOULDN’T STOP THERE. I WOULD BOMB WHERE ALL THE AYATOLLAHS ARE AND THEN SOME. If their own people won’t stop these INSANE leaders, then nuke them all.

We need to take back OUR education system which is overrun by Marxists from nursery to academia. These teachers and professors must be arrested and sent to a penal colony far away from our shores. They are toxic to America and have been poisoning our children for generations. Their power to destroy our Nation has only now been truly exposed.
The entire education system is sick. They use it like a Maoist indincrination camp. Teachers are forced to accept things they don’t believe like this sham “white privelege.” If by that they mean, Western civilization, it is certainly a privilege to be a part of the proud legacy of Western civilization and I will NEVER, EVER denounce it for anything or anybody.
This is a fight for our very survival, Speak out and fight back against these existential villains. They are out to destroy America!
If they don’t like America, I suggest they buy the first one way ticket out of here!

Democrats will never defund cops. Cops provide 24/7 tax payer paid for protection for all Democrats and their families. Cops apparently enjoy busting the heads of barbershop customers and church goers. Cops go missing when BLM and Antifa burn and loot downtowns all over America. Cops are socialist unionized government employees the perfect Democrats.
YOU ARE A FOOL, indoctrinated like liberals into believing that ALL COPS ARE BAD, when there are always a few bad people in EVERY SINGLE GROUP KNOWN TO MANKIND.
The DemonRATS have divided this country BY RACE and IT WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL and anyone who sides with them, WILL DIE IN THEIR OWN SIN.

This will be the demoncrats last big push to turn our country to communism. Kaput!
THAT is not who Trump is. HE ACTUALLY LOVES AMERICA(NS). Why else would he spend 18 hours a day WORKING AS PRESIDENT to try and get things done FOR THIS COUNTRY, while the Democrats spend so much of our money TO DESTROY IT?
I believe Trump IS a humble man and does not think he is better than anyone else.

The critical question is WILL OUR VOTES BE COUNTED?
DEMS need mail in in ballot voting to win….
On another note, how do you think Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffey Epstein’s former girlfriend will die? She is being taken to the same prison, same area where Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. Espstein didn’t commit suicide, A.G. Barr… you establishment cleaner.
Joe Biden has a problem and it’s not just his dementia. Ghislaine Maxwell could spill the beans on a great many Democrats as well as on a legion of left-leaning celebrities who support Joe. More scuffing added to Joe’s already tarnished image won’t help his presidential chances. Joe has long been seen as a pedophile that likes to grope children in public. One would think Joe would be aware of this negative public perception and refrain from such pawing, but he just can’t help himself and that’s a very bad sign.
Joe may look a little like the retired game show host Bob Barker, but he lacks Bob’s grace, character, and quick wit. Joe Biden is a disaster on wheels and Maxwell’s testimony will only make him look worse. Joe is the pick of the powerful elite, so Ghislaine (pronounced Gee-lane with a hard g) has to be worried. We all know what happened to her best friend Jeffrey Epstein. The elite running the world still don’t want to risk outright exposure. Even though many of us already know they are satanic fiends and pedophiles, they won’t hesitate to snuff people out to keep their kabuki theaters and Potemkin Villages moving along. Remember Epstein’s multi-millionaire pal Steve Bing? Some of Bing’s friends urged him to tell the world what he knew about Epstein and the pedophile ring. He ended up getting tossed from his high-rise luxury apartment. The elite-owned mass media dutifully called it a “suicide.” Yeah. Sure.
As I’ve mentioned before, sociopaths such as Epstein and Maxwell don’t kill themselves because they feel no guilt. In their minds they’ve done nothing wrong and they love themselves too much to commit suicide. However, their powerful overlords are even more sociopathic and won’t hesitate to pull the plug. Again.
